I found some more pictures, so I will be posting them soon, and along with those pictures, maybe a few more stories...
Well I just spent a good portion of my afternoon reading through this thread. Great stories!
Towing Pictures
Quite a few stories earlier, I told everyone about the towing story about coming home from National Trails in Columbus, Ohio with the Monte Carlo (tow car) and the "bulldozer" trailer. Attached are a couple pictures that were taken at Quaker City of those two vehicles. Since the car is positioned very far rearward on the trailer, I would assume that these pictures were taken after the towing escapade. Every towing trip in those days was a learning experience.
I have a story about my brother driving the Yenko that I will post soon.
PS I apologize about the poor quality of the photos, but evidently the camera I was using was focusing on the background rather than the cars.

Back in the Day
Attached are a couple of pictures that I had to re-size a lot, so they really don't show everything, but you guys will get the idea. I apologize ahead of time for the second picture being so large.
The picture of me holding the gloves is a present my older brother gave me. As you will notice I am holding the gloves with both hands, cause I thought it was silly he wanted me to wear driving gloves, but what the heck I wore them to make him happy. The other picture showing me in the car also shows a wooden steering wheel that he also had bought for me and I will be telling a story about that wheel and why he thought I needed the "wood" over the plastic. I will give you a hint, the whole steering wheel thing really had to do with him trying to drive the YENKO and that escapade didn't go too well....
Back a little later.....

When your brother drives your muscle car.
This story was probably in the summer of 1970, but definitely prior to the engine being redone and the Yenko turned in to a full time race car. As I mentioned previously, my brother and I enlisted in the US Army Reserves in August of 1968 and we both went to Fort Bragg, North Carolina during the summer of 1969 for basic training and then on to Fort Lee, Virginia for advanced individual training. After graduating from college, my brother began working for the Ford Motor Company and lived in northwestern Ohio, but would still come home for the monthly reserve meetings in northeastern Ohio. This particular weekend he suggested that we take the Yenko to the reserve meeting on Saturday and we would ride together. I think he had an alternative motive, because when we were leaving the meeting on Saturday afternoon, he asked if he could drive the Yenko home. I didn't have a problem with it, so I said "Sure". Since this was a summer meeting and it was really hot out, we opened the car doors and with the black interior, the Yenko was really steamy inside, so we put all the windows down and we took off. The reserve station was on the outskirts, of Warren, Ohio near Lordstown where I worked at General Motors, which was out in the middle of nowhere, basically farm country back then, not that it is a whole lot different now, but definitely more population. We had to take back roads to get there, but they were nice straight paved two lane roads with very little traffic, especially on a Saturday afternoon. When we came to a four way stop, (I have no idea why there was a four way stop, unless it was for the cows when they meandered by), my brother said, "Well, its warmed up, can I get on it?" I responded "Absolutely, let er rip!!!!" Well, rip, he did, revved it up, dropped the clutch and it immediately smoked the tires and the back end was coming around to the right trying to take over where the front end used to be, he is steering the hell out of it, turning the wheel to the right (like you are taught to drive on ice and snow), but the Yenko is having none of it and it gets to the point where the rear tires have left the pavement and are on the burm and he finally lets off the throttle and straightens it up. I think I mentioned how the interior was very hot and he said the stock steering wheel was slippery and that's why he lost control. So he says, "Can I try it again?" I said, "Sure, there's no traffic, try it again..." Well, he came to a stop, revved it up, dropped the clutch, unfortunately, we had the same result, only this time, it was a little more violent and he tried to drive it further and when the stones started hitting the right side quarter panel, he finally gave it up. I decided, that was enough, I told him, "Stop the car and let me show you how to do this". He stopped, we switched positions, and after buckling up, I told him "Hang On", revved my baby up, dropped the clutch and off we went straight down the road, like it was on a string, went through the gears, took it up to about 120 and backed off. I looked over at him and said "There are some things a little brother can do better than a big brother". He was sitting there shaking his head, still blaming the hot "slippery" steering wheel and that is how I got driving gloves for a birthday present and the wooden steering wheel for Christmas later that same year.
In all fairness, my brother started racing Formula Fords in SCCA a couple years later and he was quite good, he could really drive a road course and go around turns fast, in fact he could go down straightaways pretty good too, but then again that little four popper probably didn't have a quarter of the horsepower that the Yenko had. He had a lot of success with his first formula Ford and I was very proud of him. Not too long ago, I reminded him of this episode, but naturally he didn't remember it the same way I did, but this is my story and I'm sticking to it......

TruGreen Launches #TRUGAMEDAY to Kick off Tailgating Season and Offers Tips to Keep America's Lawns Healthy This Fall
America's number one lawn care provider is offering football fans a chance to show off their team spirit.
Memphis, Tenn (PRWEB) August 28, 2014 - The countdown to football season has begun, and Americans everywhere are gearing up for tailgating, watch parties and friendly football on the lawn. This season, TruGreen, America's number one lawn care provider, is offering football fans a chance to show off their team spirit and win big prizes.
Running through September 21, 2014, TruGreen's #TRUGAMEDAY promotion encourages customers, fans and followers to upload a photo showing their TRU team spirit and share with friends and family via Facebook. Entrants will be entered to win one weekly prize ($750 value) that will be chosen at random. They can receive additional entries for sharing with friends. At the end of week 4, one grand prize winner will receive a TruGreen Ultimate Game Day Package with all the items needed to throw a game day watching party worthy of their favorite team ($1200 value).
"There is nothing better than a friendly backyard football game on a crisp fall morning and showing your true team spirit by cheering on your favorite team," said John Hasselle, TruGreen Marketing Manager. "Whether it's NFL, college or Friday night high school games, we believe the start of the football season is always reason to celebrate."
"Fall isn't all about football, though. Fall is also the perfect time to fertilize your lawn," Hasselle continued. "Lawns benefit from a fertilizer applied in the fall to foster new shoot development and recovery from summer stress. A green lawn this fall promotes accumulation of food reserves important to deeper root growth and quicker spring green-up."
The professionals at TruGreen also recommend the following lawn care tips to get your lawn in shape this fall:
Aerate the area. Aeration, creating tiny holes in the lawn, lets water soak in, stimulating root growth and improving fertilizer absorption.
It's OK to go "over"board. Overseeding, the spreading of grass seed over existing grass to increase density or promote growth on bare spots, can vastly improve a lawn's appearance after a rough summer.
If it's still growing, keep mowing. Don't think fall means the end of mowing. To guarantee you have a healthy lawn in the spring, continue to mow regularly while the turf is actively growing.
Don't leave the leaves. Falling leaves are a colorful reminder that fall is in the air, but leaving layers lying around can suffocate your lawn. It's best to either remove the fallen leaves or mulch them with a mulching mower. You can compost the leaves you collect and use them to nourish plants and shrubs, which also reduces the impact on your local landfill.

This is pretty much what we knew already, since we have been calling Google's next-gen operating system Jelly Bean, but now the name is official and we know for sure. ASUS has confirmed the name Jelly Bean. Not only that, but the company says that they will likely be among the first to get the new OS.
We will likely see Android 5.0 hit within the next year. Asus VP Benson Lin, says that "Asus is very close to Google, so once they have Android 5.0 I think there will be a high possibility that we will be the first wave to offer the Jelly Bean update."
If you have been looking forward to this sugary operating system, there you go. Good news. Hopefully we won't have that long of a wait, but you never know. At any rate, it will be here before you know it.

Dr. Michael Capps, president of Epic Games, said it was NVIDIA® Tegra® technology that ultimately made the company jump into the mobile games business. Capps, speaking at the massive new headquarters in Cary, North Carolina, talks about the future of mobile gaming and the pivotal role Tegra technology will play in this exclusive interview.
What are your thoughts on NVIDIA's Tegra 2 technology and how it brings PC game technology to the portable space?
Tegra opened up a whole new vista for us in video games. We just never thought we could be in the mobile space. When we saw the specs on Tegra and started playing with the simulators, and suddenly we're taking our games and importing them to Tegra. So that's what got us thinking in that form factor.
What are the challenges when it comes to creating PC quality gaming experiences for the super phones and tablets that are going to be flooding the market this year?
I think for us, the challenge in making games for tablets and portable devices, it's becoming about the interface, which is great. I'm not worried about, "Do I have the rendering through-put." That's exactly where I want NVIDIA to be, right? Now I'm just worried about, "How do I create the right experience for this user based on where they are and how much of a gameplay experience they want in their environment."
How have you worked with NVIDIA when it comes to the Tegra 2 technology?
One of the fun things about being a very tech-forward game company, and a technology provider to so many hundreds of other teams (through Unreal Engine 3), is that they listen to us right away and we get early access. We've loved the relationship we've had with NVIDIA on products like Tegra, where early on they're sending us boards and rough sketches.

The smoking rate for U.S. adults with mental illness is 70 percent higher than for those without such problems, health officials reported Tuesday.
Overall, 36 percent of adults diagnosed with a mental health issue smoke, compared to 21 percent among the general population, according to the report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Among adults with mental illness, cigarette smoking rates are especially high among younger adults and people living in poverty or with lower levels of education, the CDC said.
Rates range from about 18 percent in Utah to 48.7 percent of those surveyed in West Virginia.
On average, adults with mental illness also smoke more cigarettes per month than smokers without mental illness (331 vs. 310 cigarettes), and smokers with mental illness are less likely to quit smoking.
More must be done to help this population break free of tobacco, said CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden. "Smokers with mental illness, like other smokers, want to quit and can quit," he said. "Stop-smoking treatments work and it's important to make them more available to all people who want to quit."

We Energies Announces New Renewable Energy Programs
From We Energies:
We Energies, headquartered in Milwaukee and Wisconsin's largest utility, has received authorization from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) to significantly expand their renewable energy programs. Renewable energy is a means of generating electricity from resources that replenish themselves naturally – examples include solar power, wind power, and biomass (or the production of electricity from organic material such as manure-to-electricity technology on farms). Included in the PSCW rate case order are the following new additions or enhanced changes to We Energies renewable energy program:
– Authorization to invest $6 million per year on renewable energy development programs in 2006-2007.
– A program to allow customer-owned wind turbines to engage in net metering for wind turbines between 20 kilowatts and 100 kilowatts in size.
– New buy-back rates for solar electric systems (We Energies will pay 22.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for 10 years) and biogas anaerobic digesters (8 ¢/kWh on peak, 4.9 ¢/kWh off peak).
– Lower cost to participate in We Energies voluntary green power purchase program, Energy for Tomorrow (EFT). The voluntary purchase cost was reduced from 2.04 ¢/kWh to 1.37 ¢/kWh, based on lower, more stable renewable energy costs, making it one of the lowest cost programs in the country.
– Continuation of We Energies' Bulk Purchase Rate for larger business (purchasing 70,000 kWh of renewable energy per month or greater). The new rate, first approved in 2005, has been reduced to 1.0 ¢/kWh.
Three contract opportunities with We Energies
We Energies, Milwaukee, announced a solicitation for applications for the following three 22-month contracts for asssitance in the utilities' renewable energy program:
Project Manager – Renewable Energy Development
Program Specialist – Customer Interconnections
Program Specialist – Renewable Energy Development
Applications should be submitted by the end of business on March 2 to:

Senate passes Energy Efficiency & Renewables Bill
On Tuesday, February 21, the Wisconsin State Senate passed legislation to codify the recommendations of the bipartisan Task Force on Energy Efficieny and Renewables.
A story by Tom Content and Patrick Marley in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported:
More power would be generated by wind turbines and solar panels in Wisconsin under a bill that the state Senate passed overwhelmingly on Tuesday.
The bill, expected to be taken up by the Assembly as soon as next week, is expected to help trigger billions in investment in new wind-power projects in the state, said Michael Vickerman, executive director of the clean-energy advocacy group Renew Wisconsin.
The bill requires that 10% of the state's electricity must be generated by renewable sources by the year 2015.
RENEW Wisconsin also issued a press release praising the action:
"This is a bill that reaffirms Wisconsin's traditional leadership in energy efficiency and conservation, and expands the contribution of native energy resources like solar, wind, small hydro and biogas to our energy future," Vickerman said.
Vickerman praised Sen. Cowles, who chairs the Senate Energy and Utilities Committee, for his leadership in crafting a measure that is supported by farmers, industry, environmental and consumer groups, utilities and labor. "Working the kinks out of these very challenging and complex issues took a great deal of deliberation and dedication," Vickerman said. "But Sen. Cowles and his staff proved equal to the task, as demonstrated by the overwhelmingly positive Senate vote."
The Citizens Utility Board (CUB) also lauded the action in a separate release:

"If enacted into law, this legislation will provide benefits to the Wisconsin economy by reducing energy bills, creating jobs, and reducing environmental impacts from energy use," said Charlie Higley, CUB executive director.
"CUB appreciates the leadership of Senator Rob Cowles, who drafted the legislation and worked with his colleagues to see the bill through the Senate."
Bush pulls plug on renewable energy research

The day Carol Tombari got fired plays in her head like a scene from a cheesy espionage thriller.
She arrived at work and was told to appear at a mandatory meeting in 20 minutes. It was there that she learned she was being laid off and that she had five hours to pack and vacate the premises.
When she returned to her desk, her computer had been disabled, her phone service cut. . . .
She was among the disappeared from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, where 31 workers were dismissed seven days after President Bush read the words "addicted to oil" off the teleprompter and announced yet another "Advanced Energy Initiative."
"It was a week to the day after the State of the Union," Tombari said. The single mother of three with a son in college was given one month's severance pay.
New Study Shows Ethanol Beats Gas in Net Energy Race
Better Environmental Solutions issued the following press release on the comparison of ethanol and gasoline:
Shows ethanol up to 9 times more energy efficient than gasoline
Madison, WI—As Wisconsin legislators consider AB 15, the Cleaner Fuels bill to give state drivers the choice of 10% ethanol in regular gas, a new study from the prestigious journal Environmental Science and Technology shows ethanol is more efficient than gasoline in the energy rate of return and can help meet our energy challenges.
The study, "Ethanol's Energy Return on Investment: A Survey of the Literature 1990-Present," reviewed studies over the last 15 years on the net energy rate of return for gasoline, and ethanol from corn and cellulose. It compared the existing studies based on the energy rate of return, the amount of renewable energy that comes from the fuel divided by the non-renewable energy put into production. It showed that gasoline is an energy loser containing only 76% of the original energy due to drilling, refining and distribution losses. This data is summarized on the chart below and the study abstract is at the end of the release.

Lines drawn for wind turbine project
A story by Bob Kliebenstein in The Tomah Journal reports on public response to a proposed wind project in Monroe County:
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 1 so far )
If attendance at Tomah Holiday Inn on Feb. 9 is any indication, the Feb. 20 Sanitation/Planning & Zoning/Forestry Committee meeting will likely be standing room only.
Opponents of a proposed commercial wind farm in Monroe County sponsored the meeting last Thursday at the Holiday Inn. Opponents are asking the committee to take more time to review a proposed wind farm ordinance that will be considered by the committee at its Feb. 20 meeting, scheduled to start at 8:30 a.m. The committee will meet in the county board room. . . .
The Chicago, Ill., firm Invenergy is proposing a wind farm development, Summit Ridge Wind Farm, that would be spread over five Monroe County townships, Ridgeville, Wells, Wilton, Tomah and Jefferson. It would consist of 43 to 50 turbines. Company officials have secured easement contracts from landowners for 10,000 acres.

A "hidden tax increase" being paid by electrical utility customers in Wisconsin would end under a bill that a state Senate committee is expected to vote on this week.
Over the last four years, budget transfers have shifted more than $100 million in charges paid on Wisconsin utility customers' electricity bills to help balance the state budget.
UW Green Bay Students Vote "Yes" for Green Energy
In a press release issued on February 13, the UW-Green Bay resports:
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
The UW Green Bay Phoenix just got a little greener. The students recently voted to approve the purchase of electricity from renewable resources. Beginning in Fall 2006, UW Green Bay will purchase approximately 10% of the campus's energy from renewable energy sources through NatureWise®, a renewable energy program offered by Wisconsin Public Service.
What makes this purchase unique is the source of funding. UW-Green Bay is the first school in Wisconsin to fund the purchase of "green energy" through a voluntary increase in student fees. Students have agreed to pay $1.69 more per semester for the next four years, allowing about 10% of the campus energy to come from renewable sources.
World"s First Commercial Cellulosic Ethanol Plant
The Dow Jones News Service carries a story on a cellulosic ethanal, which could be of interest to Wisconsin given the abudance of forest products and forest product wastes in the state:
CENTRAL CITY, Neb. (Dow Jones)–Opening of the world's first commercial cellulosic ethanol plant is slated for this fall in northern Spain, even though costs of producing alcohol fuel via the emerging technology are still estimated to be about 50%-100% higher than that for plants which use grain as a feedstock.
The Ontario-based SunOpta BioProcess Group (formerly Stake Technology), a division of SunOpta Inc. (STKL), announced last week that plans for start-up of a wheat straw-to-ethanol plant near Salamanca, Spain, are proceeding on schedule. . . .
"Most viewers see present cost of cellulose ethanol as around $3.50 per gallon – double cost from carbohydrate," said Harrison Cooper president of the Bountiful Applied Research Corporation in Bountiful, Utah. "There has been mention (that) cellulose enzyme/fermentation costs might be (reduced) to as low as $1.30, but this is based on hopeful conjecture."
Murray Burke, vice president and general manager of SunOpta's BioProcess Group, disagrees with those figures, estimating that modern grain alcohol plants being built today may have a breakeven as low as 90-95 cents per gallon, compared to a cost-of-production which likely ranges from $1.40-$1.60 per gallon for a commercial-scale cellulosic facility, such as the Spanish plant. . . .

Automakers commit to ethanol in some places
The Wall Street Journal reports on a commitments of Ford and GM to E85 ethanol for their vehicles:
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
. . . General Motors and Ford Motor said they would join with energy companies to promote the use of ethanol as an alternative to gasoline in Illinois and Missouri, the Los Angeles Times reports. GM will team with Shell Oil Products U.S. and VeraSun Energy to add 26 ethanol fuel stations in the Chicago area, while Ford and VeraSun will convert 40 gasoline pumps in Illinois and Missouri to dispense E85, a mixture of 85% ethanol, which is made from crops such as corn, and 15% gasoline. Details and financial terms were not disclosed. Increasing the availability of E85 will make it easier for auto makers to sell more "flexible-fuel" cars, which can run on fuel containing as much as 85% ethanol, the Times says. GM and Ford have said they plan to increase sales of the vehicles this year. Such ethanol plans are driving up the price of sugar futures to their loftiest levels in a quarter century, the Journal adds. Hedge funds and other investors are betting that more sugar will soon be needed to produce ethanol.

March: Snow Removal from Barn Roofs
In Pennsylvania, a late snowfall in February or March is not uncommon. These snowfalls are often heavy and increase the danger of roof collapse during this time.
"The heavy snow sticks to roofs and, if left there, can lead to barn collapses," said Russell Redding, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture secretary. "While building roofs may look okay following a snowfall, we recommend that farmers watch their buildings carefully and consider ways to safely and quickly remove snow before problems arise."
Buildings with gently-pitched roofs face the greatest danger of collapse. Workers shoveling snow off roofs should exercise caution and use ladders and safety ropes. Snow rakes and specialty tools may make it possible to dislodge snow from roofs while standing on the ground, but avoid excessive scraping or chipping that could damage the roof itself, cautioned Redding. Those with open-trussed buildings with uninsulated roofs might consider heating the building to melt the snow and allow it slide off.
Duane and Marilyn Hershey who own and operate Ar-Joy Farm in Chester County experienced a roof collapse in February 2014. "We had eight to 10 inches [of snow] plus sleet and freezing rain, plus another eight to 10 inches, followed by wind," said Marilyn. "It was 2 o'clock in the morning and suddenly our employee was in the house yelling. I knew something awful had happened." The weather during that week created extraordinary circumstances that led to roof collapse on the Hershey's free stall barn that housed about 650 cows.
Initially, the larger middle truss had fallen against the stalls in the middle alley and where the cows stand to eat. "Thankfully, very few cows were injured because they were in the stalls," Marilyn explained. "They were alive but they couldn't move because they were blocked in." A second portion of the barn collapsed shortly thereafter with only 1/3rd of the roof remaining up.
Duane and Marilyn offer the following advice for if your farm experiences extreme weather that leads to a roof collapse:
- Start making phone calls to neighboring farmers, family, building company and others. "It's hard to do that but people want to help," said Marilyn.
- Call your builder to assess the structural damage and begin repairs.
- Call your township to ask if they'll keep your road plowed and accessible for volunteers.
- Call your veterinarian to assist. Cows will likely be injured and some may need to be euthanized.
- Take photos of your cows and be sure to capture their ear tag numbers in the photos. You'll need the record later for insurance reports and your own records.
"Our lender gave us the best advice," Marilyn said. "He said, 'People are going to want to help. Give them a job.' and so we did. We had 100 people here helping the following day." Some ways volunteers can help are: housing cows on their farm until your barn is rebuilt, bringing saws and welding equipment to free trapped cows, bringing gates to help move and corral cows, cooking food or renting dumpsters to clean up debris.
"It was traumatic and certainly not something I want to go through again," Marilyn stated. "But we were blessed. We had so much support."

In this 6-part series, Pastor Miles explores God's design for us to love and be in a loving relationship with someone else.
Beyond instinct – beyond longing – love is written into our very design. But like any system, the code can be corrupted and cause a crash. What if we discovered that our world has corrupted love's code? That we've gotten love all wrong and in the process damaged our wiring. That no matter how perfect you believe love currently is – it could be better – more permanent – more fulfilling – more powerful.

where is the hottest place at night (like a bar) near sheraton hotel?
right now you are near by mrt- shando temple station, therefore, you can take mrt to mrt- Ximen station, where young people getting alone there. or Longshan temple station, where the temple is very famous and also has a snake meal street and a night market! or to mrt-ZhongxiaoFuxing station, where there are 3 department stores on one street. full fill the different needs. if you want to go the night market, you can take mrt to Jiantan station, exit2, the biggest night market at Taipei.
:D Kerry
here are some nice bars, but not around where you live, you might take taxi :)
1. brass monkey
2. barcode
3. my other place
4. carnegies bar
I suggest you going to Barcode for a pre-drink, and then head next door to Room 18 for the night club, or a five-minute walk to another popular club called Spark (most people just take the taxi). The latest and hottest club right now in Taipei is Myst. It's of walking distance to Room 18. The popularity of the clubs, in ascending order is: Room 18, Spark, Myst. As you can see, the hottest spots for night life here in Taiwan is centered in one area and one area only.

AgChat and Awareness
(The caption on this picture was a hot topic on AgChat this week. Adaptation of the producer population to new technologies)
This week I participated in my first
session. I chose a great night for my first because last night was about how to translate science from the lab to the farm and from the farm to plate. I was thrilled because I work everyday at translating science from jargon into terms that people actually want to read and learn.
At one point during the AgChat convo, in response to the question "Is ag sometimes a little too sterile and matter-of-fact with our explanations to non-farmers?", I
"Familiarize yourself with the person you are talking to. Get to know their point of view before you start spouting facts. Agvocating is about listening too"
(this tweet was heavily abbreviated). The point of my response was that when talking to non-producers it shouldn't be a one-sided conversation. Spouting facts to closed ears is pointless - if you respect your conversation partner's opinions and ideas, they will be more likely to return the favor. Care about what other have to say - it's awesome to know the ins and outs of the agricultural industry but if no one is listening, it's hard to convey the message.
Just some thoughts.
Until next time,

Holding Her Close (Mended Hearts #2) by Lexi RyanShe's everything he detests about Hollywood.
After spending my entire acting career being cast as the airhead, I finally have the serious role I've been dying for, and I screw it all up during a four martini dinner with my ex. Now, thanks to the morality clause in my contract, I might lose the role of a lifetime. My only hope is to convince the media (and my eccentrically conservative director) that I've entered a committed relationship. But when I use my brother's costume party to launch Operation Fake Fiancé, I end up in front of the camera with the wrong guy, leaving my reputation—and the fate of my career—at his mercy. Any other guy I could sweet talk into playing the supporting role I need, but not Officer Cade Watts. Not the man who hates everything about me. Not the man who would most revel in seeing me fail.
He's everything she needs.
I don't care how good it felt to have her in my arms. I don't care that I can't close my eyes without remembering the way she tastes or the sound of her moan. I want nothing to do with Janelle Crane. Her scheme to fake an engagement to save her own career is exactly the kind of manipulative Hollywood crap I left LA to escape. But when her fan mail turns threatening and the tragedies befalling her former co-stars seem to be anything but coincidence, everything changes. Now I don't just want to play the part of Janelle's fake fiancé, I demand it. I won't let my jaded heart cost me another case. I may not trust Janelle but I do care, and the only way I know she's safe is if I'm holding her close.

Under the Lights (Field Party #2) by Abbi GlinesIn the follow-up to Abbi Glines's #1 New York Times bestseller Until Friday Night—which bestselling author Kami Garcia called "tender, honest, and achingly real"—three teens from a small southern town are stuck in a dramatic love triangle.
Willa can't erase the bad decisions of her past that led her down the path she's on now. But she can fight for forgiveness from her family. And she can protect herself by refusing to let anyone else get close to her.
High school quarterback and town golden boy Brady used to be the best of friends with Willa—she even had a crush on him when they were kids. But that's all changed now: her life choices have made her a different person from the girl he used to know.
Gunner used to be friends with Willa and Brady, too. He too is larger than life and a high school football star—not to mention that his family basically owns the town of Lawton. He loves his life, and doesn't care about anyone except himself. But Willa is the exception—and he understands the girl she's become in a way no one else can.
As secrets come to light and hearts are broken, these former childhood friends must face the truth about growing up and falling in love…even if it means losing each other forever.

These low carb diet plans are the best of the ketogenic diet plans offered on the market, in my opinion. The books associated with each diet are easy to read, informative and based on sound scientific research and extensive clinical experience.
Summary: The Atkins diet is by far the most famous ketogenic diet. The diet was developed by the late Robert C. Atkins, M.D. in the late 1980s, and it is a classic ketogenic diet. Carbs are very low at the beginning to induce ketosis, and the consumption of saturated fats and leafy green vegetables is encouraged.
The newest book, (New Atkins for a New You) includes some really solid research references, as the authors (Jeff Volek, Eric Westman and Steve Phinney) are doing the cutting edge research on the effects of low carb diets.
Summary: The Protein Power Diet was created by Drs, Michael and Mary Dan Eades. The diet is based on our genetic ties to paleolithic man, and proposes that the healthiest human diet is one which most closely follows what paleolithic man would have eaten.
Summary: The Diabetes Diet is a low carb, ketogenic diet designed by Richard Bernstein, MD. The diet is based on real life experience, and is supported by current research.
Dr. Bernstein's diet is a strict ketogenic diet, and is based on controlling carbs at each meal. Meals focus on the consumption of healthy fats, protein such as meat, poultry and seafood, and non starchy vegetables.
General Information on Ketogenic Low Carb Diets
If you are interested in learning more about the science behind the efficacy of these low carb diet plans, I encourage you check out the Nutrition and Metabolism Society's website and the Nutrition journal.
In addition, I highly recommend that you also read Dr. Volek and Dr. Phinney's newest book The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable.

I've been meaning to read more books lately (something I fall out of) and Spinster fulfilled that desire as it was such a quick and addicting read.
I have never dreamed of having kids and while I'm not opposed to marriage, it's not necessarily on my to-do list any time soon. I argue with people (mostly older married men with kids) about how I'll change my mind. It's frustrating and took me a long time to realize that I was not alone. This is what brought me to this book.
Kate Bolick explores the topic of being a single woman of a certain age that is neither in a committed relationship or actively seeking marriage. She intermixes her personal experiences with five historical women (also "spinsters") to tell a detailed tale of societal expectations set forth for women. Women are taught at a young age that they grow up, get married, and have kids. When a woman chooses not to follow this path, she is questioned and scrutinized. Even in 2015.
Bolick uses the five historical women as a compelling narrative device that sheds light on the turmoil that women from all decades have faced. It's fascinating to see how women have evolved while society slides into a backwards way of thinking. The five are fascinating women -- some I knew, some I didn't, and some I'm glad that I do now.
Kate is a likable narrator most of the time, but she also seems like a really lucky woman who spent a lot of her adult life self-sabotaging to fulfill some "deeper" meaning. I liked her voice and I liked when she struggled. I, however, wanted her to dig deeper within herself. As well as the culture that she's fighting against. The idea of this book is so strong, but doesn't fully hit its stride until it's almost over.
I devoured this book in a few days, wrote down many of its best lines, and already have a list of friends ready to borrow it. It's definitely an important topic and Bolick writes it well. I only wish that it were longer and more in-depth. I also kind of want to be Kate's friend.
Disclaimer: I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review, however, all opinions are my own.

|[en] Jovian aurora ; HST/STIS spectra ; field-aligned currents ; energy of precipitated electrons
|[en] [1] Far ultraviolet spectral observations of the Jovian aurora have been made since 1997 with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope at low spectral resolution. The combination of the spectral resolution with the intensity variation along the STIS slit provides information on the latitudinal variation of the precipitating auroral electron energy flux and the mean electron energy, from which the electron current density at the top of the atmosphere can also be deduced. It is found that the mean electron energies associated with the main oval lie in the range 30 - 200 keV and show a tendency to increase with the precipitating energy flux. The current densities lie in the range similar to 0.04 - 0.4 muA m(-2), consistent with previous estimates, and are also positively correlated with the energy flux. The observed relationship between the auroral time-integrated energy fluxes and the electron energies in the main oval is compatible with that expected from Knight's theory of field-aligned currents. The best agreement between the observed data and the Knight curves is obtained for an electron temperature of T-e = 2.5 keV and a source density N = 0.003 cm(-3), that is within the range of values observed in the equatorial plane during the Voyager flybys. No systematic dependence of the electron energy with magnetic local time is found, but the morning sector around 0800 MLT shows greater variability than other regions of the oval. Analysis of time-tagged data shows that the main oval energy flux usually varies steadily over the several minute intervals of observation and that the mean electron energy usually undergoes correlated variations such that the current density remains relatively constant. It is shown that these overall properties are also consistent with Knight's theory of auroral electron acceleration associated with field-aligned current flow, from which it is inferred that the temporal variations observed are often due to slow changes in the magnetospheric "source'' electron parameters in the presence of near-steady magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling currents. By contrast, time-integrated emissions in the polar region are found to be associated with similar mean electron energies to the main oval but with typically smaller energy fluxes and current densities. Pressure balance arguments are advanced, which indicate that the brighter of these emissions must be associated with an auroral acceleration mechanism perhaps similar to that operative in the main oval, while it remains possible that the weaker emissions could result from precipitation from a quasi-isotropic hot magnetospheric electron source.

Asia said goodbye to the Year of the Horse yesterday and rang in the New Year on Thursday with parades and fireworks celebrating the Year of the Sheep (or Goat or Ram).
According to the Chinese lunar calendar, February 19, 2015, begins the celebration of the animal considered to be a general symbol of plenitude and good fortune and emblematic of kindness.
If you have never encountered sheep, the animals are complex creatures with qualities that make them good CEOs. They also can remember your face for up to two years, especially if you are smiling. Here are a few little known facts about sheep from the Farm Sanctuary, which operates three shelters in New York and California that provide lifelong care for nearly 1,000 rescued farm animals.
1) Sheep are famously friendly
Sheep wag their tails like dogs, they know their names, and they form strong bonds with other sheep, goats, and with people.
2) Sheep experience emotion similarly to humans
A study published in Animal Welfare showed that sheep experience emotion in ways similar to humans. The authors concluded that "sheep are able to experience emotions such as fear, anger, rage, despair, boredom, disgust, and happiness, because they use the same checks involved in such emotions as humans.
3) Sheep have panoramic vision
Thanks to their cool rectangular pupils, sheep can see almost 360 degrees, including directly behind themselves!
4) Sheep know how you feel
Another study from Cambridge University found that sheep — like humans and some primates — can pick up emotional cues in both humans and other sheep. Not surprisingly, they strongly preferred smiling and relaxed expressions over angry ones.
5) Sheep never forget a face
Researchers in the United Kingdom, writing for Nature, found that sheep have the same "specialized neural mechanisms for visual recognition" that humans do, which allows them to remember the faces of at least 50 individual humans and other sheep for more than two years, "and that the specialized neural circuits involved maintain selective encoding of individual sheep and human faces even after long periods of separation."
6) Sheep are the CEOs of the barnyard
Sheep can learn how to solve puzzles, remember what they've learned, and adapt to changed circumstances — all much more quickly than monkeys. The researchers note what they call the "impressive cognitive abilities of sheep" and find that "sheep can perform 'executive' cognitive tasks that are an important part of the primate behavioral repertoire, but that have never been shown previously to exist in any other large animal" other than humans and some other primates.

There has been so much I've wanted to say in this space. And, I find that the more words and thoughts that I gather, the farther I get from the chronology of what I want to share. What I mean to say is that there have been a considerable amount of changes in my life, so I will find it hard to explain the ins and outs of how my existence managed to forge away from January to July and how it is that I came to be here, back in Anchorage, Alaska.
As much as I've tried to maintain the theme of a strictly knitting blog, I know I've etched in a bit of the personal. I've shared here and there about my master's work in public health and the life I was building with my partner S in Anchorage, Alaska and the hope of transitioning back to the Midwest. Knitting for me has always been about self-expression and embracing the creative process, which ultimately means that I must sit and let my mind explore and go where it needs to go. And, inevitably sharing about my knitting journey means sharing a bit about life. As much as I like to keep this space light because, well, so much of life isn't light. I do want to be honest about my successes as well as my losses.
So, it is with that in mind that I want to publicly share that S and I are no longer married. It is still hard to say it aloud and just as difficult to type it out. The important thing to know is that we are both okay. I believe that we tried as best as we could at the time to part on amicable terms. And, I hope that I will always be able to say that my life and world expanded from our time together–I never regretted a day that we shared together even the hard ones. I feel lucky to be able to say that because I know many people who go through separation and divorce aren't able to say as much. This of course doesn't mean that there weren't challenging and difficult things that led us to this decision. But, I don't write to gather sympathy; it is more that taking the time to put this in to words helps with processing where I am with it all. And, again, I think it's necessary to let you all know that I'm still here and haven't given up on this space yet. Also, I know that some of my dear but distant friends keep up with me through knittinginatree, so I apologize if this news comes as a shock. I'm trying to take my time and slowly reconnect with you all individually but I also felt that it's time everyone knows about it.
As with every major life event there is always an element of the bittersweet. This is a really delicate time in my life, and as much as possible I'm trying to embrace it with openness, presence and honesty. With all of the transition going on, my knitting gusto took a hiatus this spring. However, the need to create has returned and I feel grateful to be inspired to return to my craft. Also, I feel very fortunate to be in a place and space that feels right, yes; I'm back in Anchorage, but more on that later…
For now I'll end by sharing a poem that has been following me around the past few months. I think it represents quite a bit of where I am now.
Love After Love by Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
& say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine, give bread. Give back your heart,
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you.
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your Life.

Bluth, Goldman on Fox's 'Ice'
Cutting short their sabbatical, "Anastasia" directors Don Bluth and Gary Goldman are expected to take the helm of Fox Animation Studios' next feature, "Planet Ice."
The duo was set to direct FAS' unannounced third animated feature, but after a couple misfires with directors and technology, sources said they were asked to come onboard "Planet Ice."
Art Vitello was to direct, but he ankled when FAS explored doing the pic digitally rather than as cel animation, as it was originally developed. After working with a team of digital directors at New York-based Blue Sky/VIFX on the digital animation, and spending what some sources said was several million dollars, the studio found that while the visuals of the space environments and space craft were superior, the characters weren't working.
Efforts then returned to FAS' stronghold in Phoenix, where "Planet Ice" is now to be produced (using a good deal of the digital effects from Blue Sky), most likely with Bluth and Goldman at the helm, although certain deal points have to ironed out.
Fox refused to comment.
Actors Matt Damon, Bill Pullman, Drew Barrymore, Nathan Lane, Hank Azaria, Janeane Garofalo, Lena Olin and Jim Breur are set to voice the characters. The pic is slated for release next year.

Upcoming thriller "Howling" is, ultimately, actress Lee Na-young's movie.
Though she is paired up with Chungmuro heavyweight Song Kang-ho, and his name outshines hers, the film was always supposed to be about the female detective character. That's what director Yoo Ha had in mind during the pre-production of the upcoming thriller, which pivots around a serial murder case involving a giant wolf-dog and underage sex trafficking.
The director, best known for his "macho" movies including "Once Upon a Time in High School" (2004) and "A Dirty Carnival" (2006), has repeatedly told the media that this movie is going to be about the socially marginalized, with a female character as the protagonist.
"Even the wolf-dog symbolizes what being a minority is all about," he said during a press premiere on Monday. "He's not exactly a dog, but isn't a wolf, either."
Speaking of "torn in the middle" or "being a minority," the casting of Lee Na-young seems like the right move. Throughout her acting career, this gorgeous actress has never really been a "mainstream" figure. Many still remember her as Jeon Gyeong in the 2002 MBC drama "Ruler of Your Own World," the eccentric, boyish indie musician who would drink soju from the bottle on the street through a straw.
|Actress Lee Na-young stars as a detective in director Yoo Ha's upcoming film "Howling." (CJ Entertainment)
In the 2004 romantic comedy "Someone Special," which won her a best actress award, she played the awkward, unpredictable stalker of a struggling baseball player. Her last film was director Kim Ki-duk's "Dream" (2008), where she played an emotionally tormented woman who sleep walks. It's well-known that she nearly died while shooting a scene where she hangs herself.
In her upcoming movie, the actress, who has long been a model for popular local cosmetic brand LANEIGE, stars as Eun-young, a beautiful yet socially inept female detective surrounded by macho co-workers and superiors. The former patrol woman is the minority. She the only female member in her team, and her lack of "aegyo" ― a Korean term for "being cute" ― and social skills make her a complete outsider. She courageously ― but without smart maneuvers ― fights against the low expectations, lewd jokes and even sexual harassment by her team members.
And on top of everything else, she is a divorcee. Her husband left her because he wasn't happy with her job, while her parents passed away when she was young. She's got that obvious "I've-got-nothing-to-lose" attitude, which makes her even more unpopular among her fellow detectives.
Yet she is no Ha Ji-won or Angelina Jolie in this action thriller ― she doesn't even know how to properly use her gun. Instead of taking down criminal suspects with flash action moves, she gets her ribs broken and ends up hospitalized.
What shines, however, is her brilliant instinct as a detective and genuine feeling for the victims. She is the only member of the team who actually cares about the victims ― after she discovers that brutal underage sex trafficking is involved with the murder case.
And this has a lot to do with the fact that she is completely alone. Unlike her male co-workers and superiors, she has no family members to feed and take care of. Hence each case does not come to her as a chance to get promoted ― and earn more money ― but a problem that must be solved properly so no one gets hurt anymore.
It is moving to see this socially-awkward character risking herself in all kinds of danger to solve the case, as her reckless nature evidently stems from her lack of family. She has no family member to be upset or even visit her in the hospital when she gets hurt.
Director Yoo Ha said he wanted to challenge Korea's family-oriented norms with "Howling." He succeeds in creating a convincing portrait of a minority of today, with a solid narrative and convincing acting.
Lee Na-young certainly is the star in this film. Just like her previous eccentric roles, she looks awkward and absorbed in her own thoughts in this film as well. Yet such qualities perfectly suit the role, and the character leaves much for the viewers to think about ― especially violence and family-oriented selfishness.
A CJ Entertainment release, the movie opens on Feb. 16.

Hello! My name is Caylena Cahill - pleasure to meet you!
In case you haven't figured this out by now, I am an independent food and lifestyle photographer, storyteller and all-around creative person.
Though this site is focused on photography, my skills include other creative areas, such as design, websites and writing.
Currently I am based in the Mid-Hudson Valley of NY.
Most frequently, I work in the Ulster (Highland, New Paltz, Kingston), Dutchess (Poughkeepsie, Rhinebeck, Beacon) and Orange (Newburgh, Middletown) County areas, however I also regularly serve the Capital District (Albany, Saratoga, etc.), all of the Hudson Valley region (Catskills, Rockland, Putman and Westchester Counties), New York City and the Washington, D.C. metro area.
For those that need it, I have teams and resources at the ready for larger production shoots, such as food/prop stylists on call, studio/equipment rentals, etc.
Professional Background
My professional background is quite varied, but in terms of photography, I've worked with various regional publications and agencies, either independently or organizing productions to create editorial, advertising and marketing photography.
Some clients I've worked for include MediaVision Advertising, Chronogram, Upstater, Newsday Westchester, the Times Herald-Record, Washington Business Journal, Raine Magazine, Organic Hudson Valley, as well as small to large companies and organizations, such as SUNY New Paltz, La Délégation Générale de l'Alliance Française, Hugh O'Brian Youth (HOBY) Leadership and other various small businesses, non-profits and entrepreneurs.
My personal creative and travel work has been featured in several photo exhibits in the Hudson Valley, NYC, Ithaca and in France.
I'm a current member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals, American Society of Media Photographers, the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce and a corporate sponsor of the New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce.
I studied and received a Bachelors in Photography and French from Ithaca College. I minored in journalism. I've attended various workshops and conferences in photography, business and so forth.
I have a working/professional fluency in French.
Resume & CV
For specific details on my career and references/recommendations, I welcome you to check out my LinkedIn profile. You may also view my resume here.
Why do I do photography?
I know it probably sounds cliché, but photography really brings meaning to my life.
I first noticed this feeling back in my college's dark room (yes, the dark room) when I was confronted with boredom in the coursework of my initial major. I knew, deep down, I was meant to be a "freelance photographer" - whatever that meant.
I was driven by the desire to make pictures that matter.
At the time, I was inspired by the "Photos of the Day" section on the BBC website and wanted to find my work featured there someday.
Since then, I've come to realize that making pictures "that matter" has a much broader meaning. It means, that in addition to the other reasons I do photography, that I do photography to serve. I aim to create work that is purposeful and functional. I aim to make work that transcends - that is part of something larger than myself - work that helps people, work that inspires, work that creates impact.
Why food photography?
The first time I photographed food, I didn't think much of it.
I was sent to a restaurant for an assignment for an online newspaper and I approached it the way I would any other, at the time. So, I arrived and made the best photos I could, trying to capture the spirit of the place and the food - the story.
Then, I found myself capturing more and more food photos - and not to brag about my food to friends on Instagram. I made these images through my travels, sure, but also on assignment, at events and for clients. And now, I do so with intention.
So, why, other than a happy accident am I devoting my life to food photography?
Well, the more I've thought about it, the more I think it makes sense that I should "fall" into food photography - in spite of not being a trained chef (or even remotely skilled in the kitchen).
Food is really the convergence of some of the major areas of my life - health/diet, curiosity, travel/culture and creativity.
In the art world, they tell us to look inside, find our struggles or inner tensions and focus on those areas in our work. Well, food has been a major influence in my life - and not just to feed myself, but to get healthy and come into my own.
You see, growing up, I was always overweight. Food didn't play a very interesting or useful role in my life - it merely kept me going. Food was also a source of self-indulgence. Between soccer practice, dance classes, play practice, Girl Scouts and school, I ate McDonald's, pasta, bagels, pierogies and ice cream like it was my job. To say my palate was limited is an understatement. To say I was healthy, well that's simply false.
Foreign Living and "La Politesse" - AKA Step 1 of My "Food Awakening."
It wasn't until I studied abroad in Paris, living in a home-stay, that I started to have the first part of my food awakening. Living in that environment, I started to explore different foods. I started to understand and appreciate food as a representation of culture. I started to learn about flavor and experience foods that I'd never have tried at home. I learned the value of trying new things and how to eat foods I didn't like. You see, as a child, I was allowed to eat unhealthy foods, and these foods were often made specially for me when I didn't want to eat the main option being offered... but in the home-stay... it's not so easy to say, "hey, can you make me something else."
Health Journey - Lifestyle Change and Losing Weight
After studying abroad during college, and then after teaching English in France for 9 months, I came home. A few things happened which inspired me to take a hard look in the mirror and embark on a personal journey to a healthier body.
As part of the process of losing weight, and in my true nature, I researched and studied nutrition. I counted calories. I recorded my foods. I experimented with new foods, and explored different areas of the grocery store. I learned new ways to prepare foods. And so, food was a major part of the journey - as was exercise. In the beginning, I went to the gym daily. Afterwards, I built a habit of working out regularly and started distance running.
Health, Food & Photography
This doesn't necessarily relate directly to photography, I know. But, when I think about it, it's obvious to me that I would then start to photograph food and food related subjects. For me, the camera has always been a way to explore, learn, connect, observe and share. I have always wanted my work to be about more than myself - I hope to inspire people, as a general desire in life.
I photograph food so that I can better understand my own relationship to food, our cultural relationship to food, where food comes from, how it affects our lives, and the creative/cultural side of it, what food actually is and the ins and outs of nutrition - and then of course, to share all that with the hope to inspire thought, empathy and action.
In my personal work I'm inspired because of my personal relationship to obesity/overweight and it's overwhelming impact on our country.
I'm very passionate about health, nutrition and fitness. I'm still tracking my foods and exercise. And, I'm continually researching nutrition, health science and learning what's new. I am participating in the broader conversations about health and aim to inspire people to find what works for them. I aim to spread useful information and help get the word out about what is healthy and inspire people to make better choices and be aware of what they are eating.
That said, if you're still reading this, and you are in the business of health and nutrition, alternative diets or fitness, let's connect and see how we can collaborate to make a healthier world.

Entering leaching tank via hollow shaft, air is agitated and dispersed by rotation of impellers.
The two new type impellers with large diameter, low speed and low power consumption, which can reduce the wear of carbon.
The moderate stirring intensity, pulp concentration and fineness distributes consistently can improve the adsorption rate and import rate.

With dual impellers rotating and agitating, ore pulps move downward and then diffuse along damping plate. Air is fed in tank from the lower end of shaft, and blended with ore pulps to form uniform suspending mixed liquid.
In the gold cyaniding process, leaching agitation tank is applied to leach and carbon-absorb ore pulps whose fineness is -200 meshes and whose density is less than 45%. Under similar circumstance, it is also applied to agitation and leaching in metallurgy, chemical and light industry.
A gold processing plant in Shanxi was built in 2010, the capacity is 200 t/d, and adopted direct cyanide——zinc dust precipitation process. Due to the stirrer paddle of previously installed double impeller agitation tank is a bit small, the speed is low and pulp agitator is uneven, which are against gold leaching. Then Xinhai contracted its cyanide process. Xinhai updated equipment with larger stirring paddle, and added breath prevention device at the bottom of the hollow shaft. Because the excellent ventilation in center and even agitation of sodium cyanide, the gold leaching rate increased from 94.28% to 97.14%.
