...about the project TÁMOP-3.2.4-08/1-2009-0069 "Zounok project II"
The County Council of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok formed a consortium with the local governments of the cities Abádszalók, Kunhegyes, Tiszaföldvár, Újszász, and the municipalities Tiszaszőlős and Tószeg, which was awarded a grant of HUF 80.459.333,- for the project TÁMOP-3.2.4-08/1-2009-0069 "Zounok project II" on the promotion of reading and libraries with a special attention payed to the youth and to adults in disadvantaged regions and to electronic services in public and school libraries in Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county.
With this grant, a number of events, trainings and database developments helping the orientation of users were financed on the premises of the consortium partners; the Ember Mária Library in Abádszalók, the Pedagogical Institute, Professional and Technical Support Service of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County, the City Library and Cultural Institution of Kunhegyes, the City Library of Tiszaföldvár and the Ószőlő Branch Library and Primary School Library, the Municipality Library and Leisure Center of Tiszaszőlős, the Municipal Public Library of Tószeg, the City Library and Cultural Center of Újszász, and the Verseghy Ferenc Library and Cultural Institute of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county.
Throughout the locations where the project was implemented, programs promoting reading and libraries, and lectures, trainings were organised to close the gap up and to help the use of internet services among the users of every age group. The awarded grant largely helped the training of library employees as well. With this project, besides the completion of electronic catalogues, the websites of the participating institutions have been renewed and they provide new, 24h services. Remote access is provided to the results of the developments at: http://zounuk.hu. New furniture was also added in the libraries. As a result of the developments, the document assets of the libraries in the county can be used more economically and more visibly.
Thanks to the project financed with grant from the European Regional Development Fund / European Social Fund and the Hungarian Republic, libraries (basic institutions in the information society) can reach out to more users and they provide a more effective service to the public in our county.

How often have you said to yourself, "If only I could get twice as much done as I do now!" The good news is, you can… as long as you have the right method and the motivation to change. In this 3-part series, I'm going to teach you a step-by-step method that will allow you to double your personal productivity in just 30 days. Actually, you could do it in a week, but I prefer to allow for the fact that most people aren't very consistent at applying new information!
1. Scheduling the Time:
As I emphasized in Part-1, you want to schedule your High Value Tasks (HVTs) for times when your mental and physical energies are at their peak, usually first thing in the morning, although that varies from person to person.
Your next decision is how much time you want to set aside for a given task. In general it's pretty hard to stay focused for more than one hour of solid working time, so dividing your working time into one hour chunks is a smart way to go. Then, even if the task you're working on takes two hours to complete, you need to schedule at least a 10-15 minute "stretching break" in between your two one-hour chunks to ensure you're at your best when you start the second round.
The next vexing question is when to STOP working. Do you quit when you say you're going to quit, no matter where you're at, or do you plow ahead until, come hell or high water, you've completed your entire tasks?
This is where many people get into trouble. The danger of plowing ahead is that you can end up just working and working longer and longer, until your whole day disintegrates into an undifferentiated mass of low-productivity work. And you DO NOT want that. On the other hand, completing a task has such a huge psychological payoff that you won't want to stop if you're close to the finish line. So how do you resolve this conflict? Just apply these guidelines:
1. When you're scheduling a task, first determine how you'll know when you've finished it! Since you may well be working on a sub-task – one component of a larger task – admit that to yourself and make sure you specify what determines completing the sub-task rather than the larger task.
2. Then determine how long the task will likely take. Then add at least 25% as a safety net – most of us consistently underestimate the time we need.
3. If the task can be completed within a one hour time chunk, then you work at it until it's completed.
4. If the task is a longer task or a more "creative" one where it's difficult to say how long it will take, then you stop working after your allotted time expires, no matter what.
2. Preparing Your Workspace:
Make sure your work area is clean and neat: a messy environment will compromise your productivity. Be sure to lay out any documents you'll need in advance and make sure you have any electronic documents or web pages you'll need open and ready before you begin. Otherwise, you may spend the first 10 minutes of your "working time" just digging up these items and becoming more and more frustrated.
Next, turn your phone's ringer off and send all incoming calls to voice mail. If you're in an office and have an assistant, make sure he or she knows you don't want to be disturbed. If you're working from home, negotiate with your family so they know to leave you alone as much as possible when you're really working.
Also, close your email, your Twitter, your instant messaging and any other means of electronic communications you have. If you're really serious about doubling your personal productivity, you MUST be willing to make your self 100% "available" to your work for defined periods of time, and that means making yourself 100% unavailable to the demands and interruptions of other people while you're doing a blitz on your HVTs.
3. Before You Start:
Now that you've prepared your physical workspace, it's time to spend a few minutes on your mental workspace. Going into a task fully motivated will significantly improve your productivity, a lesson every athlete knows all too well.
Find whatever inspires you in your work. It could be success stories in your industry, a book about personal effectiveness, time management or productivity, or simply the vision of what you are working towards. Then spend a few minutes reading or thinking about this until you feel "in the zone". But don't stop there…
Close your eyes and visualize yourself working on your task. Make sure you FEEL how easily you'll complete it and the feeling of personal satisfaction that comes from that. Once you can feel all that, then you're truly ready to begin.
And once you begin, have a timer or stop watch nearby so you can play "beat the clock" – a phenomenal method for keeping your relentlessly focused on the task at hand.
All these preparations – which most people simply skip over – are absolutely critical to doubling your productivity. Without them, no matter how well you've prioritized, your execution will be second rate and the time it will take you to complete a given task can easily increase by 3-400%. So resist the temptation to dive into your work without doing these preparatory steps first. At first these steps may seem tedious but once they've become a habit for you, you'll understand how essential they really are.
Join us next time for the third and final installment of this 3-part series on how to double your personal productivity in just 30 days, when I'll share with you the strategic secrets of flawless execution.

Mitt Romney Hits Newt Gingrich on 'Anti-Immigrant' Line: 'Repulsive' and 'Inexcusable'
Candidates go head to head in the last debate before the Florida primary.
Jan. 26, 2012 -- Mitt Romney came out swinging in a highly-charged debate tonight that saw the former Massachusetts governor and Newt Gingrich clash with each other on a number of issues, from immigration to taxes to their connections to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
Romney was quick to pounce on Gingrich and dominated much of the debate, which focused heavily on issues of concern to Florida's Hispanic voters -- namely, immigration and relations with Cuba.
An angry Romney demanded an apology from Gingrich for labeling him "anti-immigrant," calling the former House speaker's rhetoric "repulsive" and "inexcusable."
"The idea that I'm anti-immigrant is repulsive," Romney said at the debate sponsored by CNN, the Republican Party of Florida and the Hispanic Leadership Network. "Don't use a term like that."
When asked by moderator Wolf Blitzer whether Romney is the most anti-immigrant candidate, Gingrich responded, "I think out of the four of us, yes," referring to the candidates on stage.
Romney called Gingrich's charge, "the type of over-the-top rhetoric that has characterized American politics too long."
He mentioned his father, who was born in Mexico and his wife's father, who was born in Wales.
"I think you should apologize for it," Romney said. "And I think you should recognize that having differences in opinion does not justify labeling people with highly-charged epithets."
Gingrich dubbed his opponent anti-immigrant in a Spanish-language ad that he eventually pulled after harsh criticism from the state's Republican, Cuban-American U.S. senator, Marco Rubio, who said the ad was "unbecoming of a presidential candidate."
The former House speaker said he was equally offended by an ad from Romney that he said mischaracterized his views on Spanish language.
"Reagan would have never offended Hispanics as Gingrich did when he said Spanish is the language of the ghetto," the ad said.
What Gingrich said in 2007 was that bilingual education should be replaced by "immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto."
Romney first said tonight that he was not aware of the ad, and earned boos when he was told by Blitzer that the ad ended with his approval message.
Gingrich and Romney also went at each other on their connections with federally-backed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Gingrich, repeating his line of attack, pointed to Romney's investments in mutual bonds that own assets in those two firms. Romney responded by pointing out that Gingrich owns similar investments.
"Mr. Speaker, I know that sounds like an enormous revelation, but have you checked your own investments?" Romney asked.
The former House speaker charged that comparing his investments with Romney's "is like comparing a tiny mouse with a giant elephant," a jab at Romney's wealth.
Gingrich tried to turn the tables a number of times against Romney and even against Blitzer over personal questions he suggested were too trivial for the debate forum.
But that attempt seemed to backfire as Romney confronted Gingrich on campaign trail attacks Blitzer had cited in his questioning.
"Wouldn't it be nice if people didn't make accusations somewhere else that they wouldn't repeat here?" the former governor asked, referring to Gingrich's indirect jabs on his wealth and questions about his tax returns.
Gingrich, in response, cited Romney's consistent calls for Gingrich to produce his contracts with Freddie Mac.
"It would be nice if you had the same standard for other people," he said. "It's a two-way truce."
Gingrich and Romney are neck-and-neck in polls, with Ron Paul and Rick Santorum competing for third place.
Santorum tonight attacked both the leading candidates but hit Romney particularly hard on the Massachusetts health care program.
"Your mandate is no different than Barack Obama's mandate. It is the same mandate," he said.
Paul, who cracked jokes throughout the night, derided all the candidates equally for their health care proposals.
"I think they are all wrong," he said, laughing. "They have way too much confidence in government sorting this out."
Florida is a crucial test for the Republican candidates, especially for Romney, who has poured millions into the state contest. Gingrich has strong support among the state's Tea Party groups, but Romney leads by a wide margin among Hispanics.
A new CNN/Time Magazine/Opinion Research Corporation poll out late Wednesday found Romney and Gingrich in a statistical dead heat in Florida.
A recent Quinnipiac University poll showed that in a hypothetical general election matchup, Romney would be the stronger candidate to run against Obama in Florida. Romney and Obama were tied at 45 percent, while the president led Gingrich 50 percent to 39 percent among registered voters.

'One Tree Hill' Season 9 Scoop: Deb Is Coming Back & And We'll Finally Meet Brooke's Dad!
Plus, Sophia Bush weighs in on Brooke's dad's highly-anticipated arrival! What kind of drama do you think he'll bring to Tree Hill?
There are a few more familiar faces returning for One Tree Hill's ninth, and final, season — plus a few new ones! Warner Bros. has confirmed that, not only will Barbara Alyn Woods reprise her role as Nathan's (James Lafferty) pill-popping cougar mom Deb for one episode, but Richard Burgi will also recur as Brooke's (Sophia Bush) oft-discussed-but-never-seen father!
Of course, these might not be the happiest family reunions — and they certainly won't come without some drama. As Sophia teased during HollywoodLife.com's recent trip to One Tree Hill's Wilmington, N.C., set:
"You're going to meet someone who's very relevant to Brooke's life who you've wanted to see for eight years."
This is obviously huge news for longtime fans of the series, especially those with a soft spot for Brooke… and her daddy issues. Seriously, if you thought Brooke and Victoria (Daphne Zuniga) had a rocky relationship as mother and daughter, just wait until dear ol' daddy enters the picture.
And then there's Nanny Deb, who we last saw during a heated confrontation with Dan (Paul Johansson) in season six. They exchanged fiery words about — what else — Keith's (Craig Sheffer) death, so it'll be very interesting to see what their relationship is like when they reunite in season nine.
OK, One Tree Hill fans, it's your turn to rant. What kind of crazy new drama do you think Nathan's mom and Brooke's dad will bring to town? And who else are you hoping will make a surprise return for the show's final season? Hit the comments section with your thoughts!

The Rangers will play Slovan in Bratislava on Oct. 2, 2011 (11 a.m. in New York) as part of their European tour while Madison Square Garden undergoes renovations.
"HC Slovan Bratislava is proud to welcome one of the classiest NHL organizations to our arena at the beginning of the new season," HC Slovan general manager Maros Krajci said in a statement. "Next season is an historic one in Bratislava, as we celebrate the 90th anniversary of playing hockey in our city."
HC Slovan hosted the Lightning in 2008, losing, if I recall correctly, in a shootout.

Tutoring Australasia necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 83 diseños de 30 diseñadores freelance.
yourtutor by Tutoring Australasia
Tutoring Australasia is Australia's leading provider of one-to-one online tutoring services for students and their families.
Our newest project, the yourtutor Skills Builder, lets students answer practice test questions and provides teachers with detailed information that lets them see how their students' scholastic aptitude increase over time.
We need a logo that appeals to primary and high school teachers, since that's who we're selling the yourtutor Skills Builder to.
Unlike logos for educational products designed for students and children, which are often full of child-like imagery, the yourtutor Skills Builder logo needs to reflect the sophisticated tastes of adult teaching professionals. However, we're not looking for something that's completely businessy like a bank logo. =-)
Colors: In order to mesh with our current company branding, we're looking for a logo that uses our company colors. Please don't limit yourself to these colors, but they should provide a good foundation to build off of. Ideally, your design will also translate to grayscale and mono as well.
- purple: #711E80
- yellow: #FFCB05
- green: #8FC743
- gray: #939598
Wording: It needs to say 'Skills Builder'. Also, your design should include 'yourtutor' or 'by yourtutor' in the supporting typography, spelled lowercase, and ideally using the yellow and purple colors specified above.
Imagery: Your design should convey that this product helps teachers track their students' academic ability and progress over time. You might consider imagery that relates to education, confidence, academic prowess, schools, or group achievement.
General Layout: We think we want an icon with the text 'Skills Builder' next to or under the imagery, with 'by yourtutor' (or just 'yourtutor') in smaller text as a sort of coda to the Skills Builder text.
Dimensions: The logo and supporting typography layout should be flexible enough to be used in a horizontal or vertical layout on the web or in print.
File Format: Your winning logo will be used on the web and in supporting print materials, so we'll need your final design as a vector art EPS file.

I have been wanting to try a technique of stacking die cuts for some time now and finally got some time to actually do it!
I pulled out the Hello You Thinlits and die cut four "happy's" from Whisper White card stock and adhered them all together using Tombow Mono Multi. My favourite adhesive!! I added sponged colour to my background base card and then heat embossed my sentiment in white embossing powder. Once I die cut the oval window from my card front, I used dimensionals to adhere it to my card base.
I then adhered my layered die cut over the oval opening and used Tombow again to adhere it to the sides of the oval. Having four layers to the word gives it strength and allows the word to float above the oval window creating the awesome shadow behind. Try it yourself!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Newlyweds and couples celebrated Friday along with the lead lawyer in the landmark case behind the first same-sex marriages in Massachusetts and the nation 10 years ago.
Lawyer Mary Bonauto said at the Cambridge City Hall festivities that none of the dire predictions made in 2004 about the effects of gay marriage on the wider society have come true.
"Since Massachusetts began marrying people, the joy spread. You couldn't argue with it anymore," she said. "Seeing the reality — seeing these families who were happy and together, more secure and everyone else was just fine — really made all the difference."
Irma and Angela Bauer-Levesque recalled going out to dinner and being swept up in the excitement as they passed city hall 10 years ago. Officials had decided to begin marrying couples at midnight.
"We kind of got sucked into the crowd and found the end of the line. We were the 250th in line," said Irma Bauer-Levesque. "Of course, it was a huge party. We remember being quite overwhelmed by it all."
The Cambridge couple — surrounded by balloons, music, cake and a guitarists singing Cuban love songs — ended up getting their marriage license at 4:20 in the morning.
"One of the most amazing things was when we walked out, there were still over 100 people out there congratulating us," Angela Bauer-Levesque said. They held their marriage ceremony about three weeks later.
The festivities gave couples who tied the knot during that first flood of marriages a decade ago a chance to renew their vows. They were joined by elected officials and well-wishers.
But as joyful as it was, the event paled in comparison to the overnight marriage festival in 2004 when hundreds of couples and thousands of their supporters flooded the hall, spilling out onto the sloping lawn and forcing police to shut down Massachusetts Avenue, the main thoroughfare in front of the building.
That moment, made possible by the landmark decision by Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court, marked a watershed in the debate over gay marriage for the country.
Since then, 17 states and the District of Columbia have legalized same-sex marriage. Judges in seven other states have struck down bans on gay marriage, though officials are appealing.
Opposition remains stiff in many places, and critics are quick to note that most states still don't allow same-sex marriage.
But in Massachusetts, the question of gay marriage has become less of a political touchstone and more of a personal milestone.
That's true for Scott Bechaz, 44, and Carlos Franca, 46, of New Bedford, who decided to use Friday's anniversary to take their vows.
"We were supposed to get married in June, and so we're actually moving it up just to marry here at the anniversary because this is pivotal for our community," said Bechaz. "We're just normal people who have fallen in love and want to have the same rights as anyone else falling in love."
After 1st gay marriages, 'joy spread'
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Newlyweds and couples celebrated Friday along with the lead lawyer in the landmark case behind the first same-sex marriages in Massachusetts and the nation 10 years ago.

Turn in your homework with the click of a button at 11:59pm. Take your final exam from your living room couch while munching on steaming hot pizza. Participate in class discussions from your lounge chair on the beach.
Sounds pretty appealing, doesn't it?
Although the promise of attending class from anywhere at nearly any time can be quite alluring, the reality is that distance learning and online coursework are not a good match for every student. Distance learning is most effective for students who are highly independent and self-motivated learners and who require little or no face-to-face interaction with their professor and peers in order to understand and appreciate course material.
If you are an experienced student and learn best on your own (by reading course material, participating in online discussion boards, and synthesizing material from multiple sources), you might be a good candidate for distance learning. If you are an independent learner with a complicated work or family schedule, online courses could be an excellent way to complete college coursework while meeting your other obligations.
If you are a new student who has not yet experienced the rigors of college coursework or the excitement of participating in spirited class discussions with faculty and peers, you will probably benefit more from attending courses on campus. If your favorite part of class is engaging in discussions, presentations, and projects or if you prefer group study sessions with your classmates to prepare for assignments and exams, you might want to carefully consider whether online learning is the best fit for you.
Below are some resources to help you gauge your readiness for the distance learning environment and to determine whether distance learning is the best fit for your learning preferences.
Not all DL courses have the same technological requirements. Liberal arts and humanities courses may only require a high speed internet connection, while more technical courses may require audio/visual equipment and specialized computer hardware and software. Carefully check the technological requirements of any DL course in which you are considering enrolling.
Students can assess their computer skills and competency with the following online self-tests:
Online courses require that students are more independent than in on-campus classes. Without easy access to many on-campus academic support resources, DL students must be very secure in their pre-requisite course knowledge so that they can learn independently and effectively.
Students can check their readiness for DL coursework as well as determine whether DL coursework is a good fit for their learning preferences with the following self-assessments. We recommend that students take several different assessments when deciding whether to enroll in online courses since each assessment examines student readiness in a slightly different way.

Big Red's Journal [COTW 1/28/13]
Welcome to BIG RED'S journal! I finally decided to start a journal after 2 1/2 years of ownership enjoyment. I've done a lot of mods, some 2 or 3 times, before getting it right! It's been a real learning experience to say the least! I had a LOT of little, and some big, problems during the first year and 1/2 but got all the bugs pretty much ironed out! Guess it goes with any early production car so I was very patient as GM worked through some of the problems.
Big Red was born on 6/30/09 smack in the middle of GM's historic bankruptcy procedings. I ordered on 5/5/09 and figured I'd take a chance, after all, if GM goes out of business in July I'd have a real rarity. If not I'd have a sweet ride and no warranty worries! As it turned out all went well and I took delivery on a hot July 7th day!
Big Red, so named last year after I bought my wife a red Chevy Cruze which we named "Little Red", is an RJT 2SS/RS LS3 M6 with black rally stripes. As soon as I drove it off the dealer's lot I knew I would start modding it right away! First thing to go would be that ultra quiet exhaust! I'm a Harley guy so I like my exhaust note LOUD! How could GM produce such an awsome car and make it so quiet? Anyway, I'll get to the mods on my next post! Here's some early pics the first summer. Only mods at this point were vinyl gill inserts, I think SLP LM2's and Hurst short throw!
Edit: I added a more current pic at the bottom for comparison sake. It doesn't show the ZL1 side skirts and hash marks because I stored the car shortly after adding them a couple weeks ago and didn't have time for pics, and the weather was crappy!!
Added one more pic of a recent track day at Gingerman Raceway. This shows the side skirts as well as the Hex Vents! It's come a long way from it's humble beginnings!

I'll get to more pics soon! As I mentioned above, I had some PITA problems from the begining. I'll get the negative stuff out of the way and move on to the good stuff later!
My first summer with Big Red was good until I tried doing some mods, like SLP LM II's and OTR intake. I didn't like the sound of the LM II's, kinda sounded like a motor boat at idle. I also bought a New Era OTR intake but had drivability issues (herkey jerkies), so I ended up returning it after 2 months of trying everything to resolve the issue. It ended up being an issue with the maf placement that New Era fixed later that year. I replaced it with a Roto-Fab cai. I ended up removing and selling the LM II's and bought a Solo Mach-X catback which ended up being one of my favorite mods to this day!
All was good until that fall when I noticed an oil leak and I also had 3rd gear notchy issues. The oil leak was an oil cooler gasket and they couldn't find a problem with 3rd gear, go figure! Long story short, after a year and 1/2 and 3 tries the dealership refused to do anything about the tranny. Also, my oil leak came back, this time it was the pan gasket. On top of all that I was worried about the trans output shaft snapping because I had an earlier vin, below 25,000! Also, during the first year I had problems with passenger side window indexing which was finally fixed after 3 attempts by the dealer.
By the end of 2010 I was getting pissed about the transmission and my dealership not doing anything about it so I wrote an e-mail to Al Oppenheiser whome I met at the Summit Racing Camaro fall classic in 2009! A couple weeks later I got a call from Detroit powertrain division that they wanted to swap out my trans with a new one! I was elated because not only would this resolve the 3rd gear problem but I won't have to worry about the output shaft anymore! What a relief! The trans was replaced in March of 2011 and all is good!
One last negative to discuss before moving on. I had a JRE SCT tune done and noticed a higher than usual knock retard at certain rpms and shifts. After a month or 2 of datalogging and Ted's tweeking we decided that it may be due to false knock from something vibrating or rattling. I checked all the obvious places but all was tight and there was no audible rattle anywhere. Well, I was under the car doing an oil change and I grabbed the starter to move myself aound under the car and the damned thing moved! The starter was loose! Both bolts needed to be tightend, only thing I could figure is that the dealership never tightened it when they did the oil pan gasket or trans replacement! After I tightened it up my knock sensor problem went away!
So by now Big Red was finally coming together and I really started to enjoy the experience of driving! Here's a couple pics of what it looked like after a year and 1/2! At this point my mods were:
Stillen rotors
Roto-Fab cai
Doug thorley shorty headers
Big Worm Graphics lens tint
Hurst short throw with T-handle

Yea, that blue Z-28 was sweet! Too bad it wasn't mine! :( I was driving through the park on a gorgeous fall day when I saw the car parked and decided to pull in and make some new friends! The guy did a great job restoring and modding the car, it was very cool! Took the opportunity to snap a good pic with my 5th gen together with a gen2!

OK, so, where was I? Oh yea, I was really pondering selling the car and maybe get a '12 vert or wait it out for the ZL1 but both would have been out of the question financially. So, I decided to keep BIG RED and do some really good mods! Now that the transmission was replaced I felt more comfortable that it wasn't gonna blow up on me so let's have some fun!
Last winter after the trans was fixed I ordered up the JRE 415 package which consisted of a CAI cai, Dynatech headers with high flows, and tune! I was against tuning for the first year because of warranty but now I thought most of the bugs have been taken care of so what the hell, let's go for it! I also got rid of the crappy pedals and installed a set of black anadized billet pedals! I hated the feel of the steering wheel so off it went! In it's place went an Ace steering wheel which I love!
I ended up replacing the Hurst T-handle in favor of the standard white cue ball. The T-handle got very HOT in the summer and very COLD in the colder weather. Oh, I also painted the instrument guage bezel, steering wheel bezel and console guage trim to match RJT!
Let's see what else, oh yea, BMR sways, trailing arms, and subframe inserts! I had BMR end links but that didn't work out to well and we won't get into that! I have the stockers on now.
Last but not least I had the windows tinted 35/20% and installed Big Worm Graphics Gunsmoke lens tints.
Here's some pics as it was last summer!

Ted Jannetty's 415 tune package was great! I had a riot doing burnouts at will, and really for the first time, enjoying the car to the max! I got involved in a thread here about the latest Vararam rev and my good friend IndeedSS1 offered to loan me an extra one he had . So, as curious as I am, I accepted. I installed it using the tune that Ted gave me but was for the CAI. I absolutly fell in love with the throttle response of the VR over the CAI so I kept it installed and had Ted re-tune for the VR. So as you can see, this is now my 4th intake in 2 years! I think I'll stick with this one now for a while, who knows though?
I also had quad exhaust tips welded on and modified the diffuser to fit. I also changed out the plug wires for Granatelli high temps!
Needless to say this past summer was fantastic with my newfound power and suspension mods. Our UpstateC5 club had some great outings to Watkins Glen, Mid Ohio and local shows so I was a happy camper!
For some reason I can't seem to upload pics right now so more to follow!
Edit: here we go, more pics!

So, with all that fun stuff, it brings us to this winter. I decided to take Big Red off the raod and store it in the garage to save a few bucks on insurance. Last year it snowed so much that I wished I canceled the insurance and stored it. This year however has been warm and relatively dry with little snow. My timing just sucks!
Anyway, I decided that as long as it is stored and off the road it would give me a chance to do some serious invasive surgery! I put the car up on jackstandes and ordered up some goodies! First on the list was a set of Pedders xa coilovers to lower 1 1/4". Next was to remove the calipers and send to Mike the Powdercoater for some RJT bling! As long as the calipers were off I ordered a set of Racing Brake stainless brake lines from Apex!
Next were the wheels. I've been wanting a new set of wheels and rubber but they're so damn expensive. I ended up ordering a set of Forgestar F14's from Nine Ball and Nitto Invo 275/315 tires from Discount Tires Direct. I got the tires but I'm still waiting on the wheels which hopefully will be here by end of March. I'm going to have an RJT pinstripe applied after the tires are installed and balanced. Then off to the alignment shop!
Last but not least will be an RPI front ZL style splitter which just arrived and needs to be installed!
Here's some current pics and I'll post up pics once all the work is done in a couple weeks!

"We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
My facebook feed is scattered with friends and family who have dedicated an update of thankfulness for everyday in November. The political rants are becoming less and less while the thanks for family, friends, health are increasing. I appreciate their thankfulness but then quickly return to my own state of longing leaving me feeling dissatisfied.
Instead of feeling thankful for my home I lament it's size. The sun shines and yet I focus on the cold. My body is eager, warm and alive and I concentrate on the slight tinge of a sore throat that is forming. The pantry is stocked and the fridge is filled with fresh food but I moan over having to cook another meal.
Thankfulness is as much a habit as brushing your teeth or making a cup of coffee in the morning. It's about shifting your focus to the things that you do have rather than longing for what is not yet yours. In the midst of thankfulness we see all we are unnecessarily given and joy overwhelms the dissatisfaction.
A small home becomes a warm home filled with joyful, healthy children. The cold weather turns to thoughts of brightly colored fall leaves and anticipation of snow and warming drinks. When the time comes for me to cook my family dinner I should be overwhelmed by the fact that I have a family to feed and there is food to cook with and a stove to prepare it on with electricity to heat the pan and clean water to wash my fresh vegetables – I could go on and on.
I'm writing this post while thinking this through and am peeling back the blinding scales as I write. These last few days I've successfully felt sorry for myself – overwhelmed with work, exhausted by the responsibilities of being a wife and a mother and blinded by dissatisfaction. I didn't come to this space to write about thankfulness but I'm so glad I did as I can see now how selfish I've been and am so thankful to be aware.
Joy returns and reroutes me outward. With a focus on thankfulness rather than lamenting over what I want differently in my life the resulting joy presses me to love and serve which ultimately leads to satisfaction greater than any "want" could ever give.
I did indeed come here to tell you about our turkey and I'm so thankful for this space to share it with you all because you need to know about this turkey.
This year will mark the second in which we've made a boneless turkey. A quick call to the local market and a boneless turkey is ready for pickup the next day. The bones are then saved for stock and used to make a rich gravy or saved to make the traditional leftover turkey soup.
The advantage to a boneless turkey is that carving is simple and clean, the dark meat and white meat mingle in the roll creating a harmonious flavorful meat and the options for stuffing are endless and provide even more flavor which can sometimes be lacking in turkey.
The turkey that ceremoniously lands on our Thanksgiving table this year will be stuffed with an herby, sausage-laden stuffing dotted with dried cherries and toasted hazelnuts. I'm already feeling thankful for that day and for the opportunity to enjoy this turkey again.
What a great time of year to be reminded to exercise the habit of thankfulness.
Turkey Roulade with Sausage Stuffing
inspired by Ina Garten
Serves 8
The most difficult part about this recipe is tying the stuffed turkey just prior to roasting. It makes the job much easier if you have an extra set of hands help you get the turkey to submit. It's going to be messy and you'll feel a bit clumsy. Be brave and confident as it will come together and your reward for such bravery will be a flavorful and moist turkey that will sure evoke elation and cheers as it's brought to the table for (easy) carving.
3/4 cup dried cherries (or cranberries)
1/2 cup brandy
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 ½ cups diced onions (2 onions)
1 cup (1/2-inch-diced) celery (3 stalks)
3/4 pound pork sausage, casings removed
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts, toasted
3 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix (homemade recipe below)
1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 large egg, beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons good mustard
1 whole turkey boned (save bones, wings and giblets for gravy and stock)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Place the dried cherries in a small saucepan and pour in the brandy and 1/4 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and celery and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage, crumbling it into small bits with a fork, and saute, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, until cooked and browned. Stir in 1 teaspoon paprika and a pinch of salt. Add the cherries with the liquid, the chopped rosemary, and hazelnuts and cook for 2 more minutes. Scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon.
Place the stuffing mix in a large bowl. Add the sausage mixture, chicken stock, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir well. (The stuffing may be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight.)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a baking rack on a sheet pan.
Lay the butterflied turkey skin side down on a cutting board. Sprinkle the meat with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and spread the mustard over the turkey.
Spread the stuffing in a 1/2-inch-thick layer over the meat, leaving a half-inch border on all sides. Don't mound the stuffing or the turkey will be difficult to roll. (Place any leftover stuffing in a buttered gratin dish and bake for the last 45 minutes of roasting alongside the turkey.)
Starting at 1 end, roll the turkey like a jelly roll and tuck in any stuffing that tries to escape on the sides. Tie the roast firmly with kitchen twine every 2 inches to make a compact cylinder.
Place the stuffed turkey seam side down on the rack on the sheet pan. Brush with the melted butter, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and remaining ½ teaspoon paprika, and roast for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer registers 150 degrees F in the center.
Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Carve 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve warm with the extra stuffing.
Homemade Stuffing Mix
3 cups ½" diced rustic bread
½ cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, tarragon, sage, rosemary, thyme etc.)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
Combine everything in a large bowl and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350*F until bread is golden and dried out, about 20 minutes. Stir the mixture halfway through the baking process. Taste and add more salt if desired.

It Should Be a Breeze: Harnessing the Potential of Open Trade and Investment Flows in the Wind Energy Industry
Wind energy is among the most important commercial technologies for climate change mitigation and is experiencing rapid growth. The recent spike in commodity prices and the financing problems related to the 2008-09 financial crisis had only a negligible effect on the industry's global growth rates. The expansion of wind energy is mainly driven by government support aimed at not only reducing emissions and energy imports but also nurturing a new industry that promises substantial localized job creation. This working paper maps out the structure and value chains of the wind power industry, analyzes its increasing globalization via cross-border trade and investment flows, and formulates recommendations for policymakers for the design of investment and trade policies to help realize wind energy's potential.
The authors show that demand for wind energy through long-term government support policies creates the basis for local supply of wind capital equipment and services and associated local job creation; policies that put a price on carbon will further help to make wind energy more competitive and increase the overall demand for turbines and equipment. They find that cross-border investment rather than trade is the dominant mode of global integration. Principal barriers to global integration are not at-the-border tariffs but rather several nontariff trade barriers and formal and informal barriers that distort firms' investment decisions, for instance, local content requirements, divergent national industrial standards and licensing demands, and in particular political expectations. As intellectual property plays only a very limited role in the cost structures of the wind industry and technology is widely available for licensing, intellectual property rights cannot be considered a major impediment for market participation for firms from both developed and developing countries. The authors emphasize that due to its specific characteristics, a globalized wind industry will create lasting and highly localized employment opportunities. Credible long-term commitments coupled with a reduction or elimination of existing barriers to cross-border trade and investment are necessary to harness the full potential of globalization in reducing the price and increasing the global deployment of wind energy.

Hello...it's Patti and I want to share a mini album with you that I recently made. Can you believe that summer here in the States is almost over! I'm sad to see it go, but I'm so looking forward to Autumn and all it brings....leaves changing, picking pumpkins, enjoying the cool weather outdoors and of course, Thanksgiving. And Bo Bunny's Forever Fall collection has inspired me to get a head start on a gratitude mini that I've had in mind for awhile. Life gets hectic around this time of year for our family so now seemed to be the perfect time to create a pre-made mini album that I could then fill with photos and journaling later this fall. I kept it simple with the option to add more embellishment once my photos and journaling were complete.
"Give Thanks"
Bo Bunny Supply List:
Patterned Paper: Blaze, Bouquet, Dot, Dusk, Foliage, Impressions, Nature, Stripe, Sunflower and Cut Outs/ Forever Fall
Cardstock: Journal – Chiffon and Chocolate; Dot – Decaf and Chiffon; Flourish – Orange Citrus
Stickers: Cardstock Gratitude Stickers/Forever Fall; 12" Combo Stickers/Forever Fall; 12" Combo Stickers/Etc.
Noteworthy: Forever Fall
Brads: Forever Fall
Buttons: various Bo Bunny
Trinkets: Forever Fall
Flowers: Forever Fall (project kit)
Rub-ons: Forever Fall
Chipboard: Layered Chipboard Stickers/Forever Fall; 12" Chipboard/Forever Fall
Card Kit: Forever Fall (chipboard)
Ribbon: 5.8" Harvest/Double Dot
I started by making my "cover" from one of the 4 framed shapes on the Cut-Out paper in this collection. I trimmed around it, then folded it in half and trimmed off any excess that showed from either side. I added a bit of adhesive inside and then stitched around the edge. This made the piece sturdy and I liked having a shaped piece for the front page. I added a bit of cardstock to frame my title using alpha stickers from the Etc. collection and completed it with a Trinket, Brad and Chipboard sticker accent.
On the back of the front cover, I added a Noteworthy tag, a sunflower sticker and "autumn" using the Combo Sticker alphas. For the "Chilly Days" page, I cut a 4" x 3.5" piece of pattern paper and punched a decorative edge on the right side. I added a small piece of cardstock and a flower at the bottom, leaving the middle open for a small photo.
On the back of the "Chilly Days" page, I adhered a 3" x 4" tag that I'd stapled a bit of ribbon to the top.
I cut the next page to 5 3/4" x 4" and used a decorative corner punch on the right side corners. I added a scalloped piece of chipboard near the bottom and alpha stickers for "JOY". I made a tab from a circle punch and stapled it to the top right of the page.
On the back of this page, I added a piece of cardstock as a photo matte and the "together" sticker with adhesive foam. At the bottom, I added a small piece of cardstock to journal on.
The next page is a pocket with a tag. The pocket is 5 3/4" x 3 3/4" and has a tag tucked inside. Photos can be added to the tag or simply tucked into the pocket. Before assembling the pocket, I embellished the front with a die-cut scrap (the negative left over) of pattern paper. I adhered another pattern behind it, rounded the corners and stitched it onto the front.
On the back of the pocket, I adhered a piece of pattern paper and accented it with alpha stickers and a punched dragonfly from the Cut-Outs paper. This will be a great place to list some favorite things about the season.
The opposite page is 5 3/4" x 4 1/4" and has a scallop edge on the right side. I kept this simple and left plenty of space for a larger photo.
On the back of this page, I cut a slightly smaller piece of Orange Citrus Flourish Cardstock and stapled a piece of scallop trim from the Noteworthy package (on the ends only), then adhered it to the page.
The small tag with the heart is loose and turns as a tiny page. It's a great spot for a quote or to record a special memory. The larger tag (4 1/2" x 3") behind it has a flower and button a the top.
The light colored back of the tag can easily be used for more journaling. Again the opposing page is bigger - 6" x 4 1/2" and has plenty of room for a larger photo.
On the back of the Chocolate Journal Cardstock page I created a pocket by stitching on a piece of paper that covers just the bottom left corner of the page. I have a piece of cardstock tucked inside for now that I can add photos to or journal on as needed.
As I did with the small tag previously, I cut a ribbon strip of cardstock and punched just one hole to keep it separate from the larger pages. The "Life is Good" page behind it is 5 3/4" x 4 1/4" with a pocket stitched on the back.
The pocket on this is simply a piece of pattern paper, border punched at the top and folded down. Then I machine stitched it on to create the pocket. A cardstock tag is tucked inside.
The "celebrate" page is 5 1/2" x 4 3/4" with rounded corners on the right. Punched leaves and a button accent the bottom and a stapled piece of ribbon is at the top right.
The back is also left open with just a few accents at the top of the page - "Be Thankful" sticker and a flower with a button center.
The final page is a cardstock pocket that lets you tuck in a larger photo from the side. I've cut a piece of pattern paper to fit inside to matte my photo(s) when I'm ready. To create this pocket, I folded the cardstock and machine stitched it all the way around.
And that's it! I love that the mini album is ready to be filled. And since there's no particular order to the pages, it's easy enough to switch them around or even add more as needed.
Tip: Once I cut and prepped the basic pages, I punched the holes for the binding rings. They are about 2" apart from the center of each page.
I hope you enjoyed this mini album and that it will inspire you to get a head start on any seasonal projects you have in mind. :)
Please forgive the oversight, but it seems that back in July we had a couple of contest winners that weren't announced! So without further ado....
Congratulations to the following lucky winners!
July 18th - Winner: Janet Lebeau and her Liberty card with the fun pinwheels!
July 30th - Winner: Lorena and her "Beautiful Time Flies" birthday card!
Email Bo Bunny (see the left column of the blog) with your details and they'll send out your prizes. :)

Final Florida Days
Final Florida days are here. A week from today, the season starts in DC.
Prior to this afternoon's game, three annual awards were presented on the field.
The Bill Giles and Larry Rojas awards were first presented in 1999 to two players in the Phillies minor league spring training camp, one being Hispanic.
The winners are chosen on the following criteria: love and respect for the game of baseball, an outstanding work ethic and pride in being a member of the Phillies. These attributes describe Giles and the late Rojas.
Pitcher Jarret Cosart received the Giles Award and catcher Sebastian Valle, the Rojas Award.
Started in 2007, the John Vukvoich Award is presented annually to an instructor in the Phillies organization that embodies the characteristics of the award's namesake: loyalty, dedication, competitiveness, knowledge, honesty and a terrific work ethic.
This year's honoree is the field coordinator of the Phillies minor league system, Mike Compton.
Outta Here!
Minor league camp released the following 12 players this morning: LHP Spencer Arroyo, RHP Freddy Ballestas, RHP Ryan Bergh, RHP Joe Bisenius, LHP Sean Grieve, RHP Rick Guttormson, RHP Jordan Meaker, RHP Todd Van Steensel, 1B Jeremy Hamilton, OF Gus Milner, OF Arlon Quiroz and OF Brad Wilkerson.
Outta Here! II
Time to close down the Bright House Field office. Will be heading home on Wednesday. Will have one more post tomorrow, the annual spring training review. Then, Phillies Insider will be on the inactive list until April 5.
Thanks for reading. Also, thanks for voting for Phillies Insider in the NCAA tournament-style blog competition. Phillies Insider reached the 18-blog bracket before being eliminated by Crashburn Alley on Saturday. Now, I know how Kentucky basketballers feel.
