The Tortoise and the Solar Plant
July 25, 2013—The Ivanpah solar plant in California's Mojave Desert is the largest of its kind under construction in the world. Developer BrightSource says it will provide solar electricity to 140,000 homes when operational. And while it displaced threatened desert tortoises, it apparently has not significantly harmed their population.

Bold and Beautiful Recaps
B&B Week of September 24, 2007 Recaps
"I shouldn't have kissed you," Eric declared to Donna, but she wasn't as
concerned about the ramifications of their smooch. They heard a car pull up
and Donna wondered if it could be Stephanie coming home to face the music.
Ms. Logan trotted off and Felicia showed up to announce that she's going to
Seattle to meet up with Constantine, who was on a concert tour. Eric gladly
offered to watch his grandson and Felicia asked where her mother could be.
Eric said he had no idea and was "very disillusioned" about his marriage.
Felicia reminded Pop that he and Stephanie always made up before and
cautioned him not to make "any hasty decisions."
Rick returned to the lab and reminded Ashley that Brooke will always be in
Ridge's life. An exasperated Ash wanted to ignore his warnings but decided
to follow up with a visit to Ridge and headed out.
As Donna tried to sneak through the Forrester living room, she encountered a
messenger at the front door. She forged Felicia's signature and accepted a
letter from Stephanie. Donna thought about throwing the letter into the
burning fireplace, but she waited for Eric to show and gave it to him. Donna
was surprised when he wasn't interested in reading it and the air was
suddenly charged with sexual tension. "Do you want me to go?" she asked.
Eric said no and they began kissing passionately.
Ridge greeted Brooke as she showed up at his house for dinner. They sat down
and Ridge announced their evening was about "our son and our future." Brooke
asked for a second chance and promised "you won't regret it." Ridge worried
about having the rug pulled out from under his world again — Brooke
assured that if they reconciled, they would be stronger than ever. Before
Ridge could respond, the caterer appeared and asked for his assistance in
the kitchen. After Ridge left the room, his cell phone went off and Brooke
saw that it was Ashley calling. Brooke then noticed a jewelry box and opened
it to find a diamond engagement ring. She excitedly slipped it on, just as
Ridge returned. "It's so beautiful, I love it!" she exclaimed and threw her
arms around a stunned Ridge. Ashley walked in mid-clench and spotted the
ring on Brooke. "Oh, my god," she gasped, "You're engaged?"
Ashley, I can explain," Ridge said and then informed Brooke that the ring
wasn't meant for her — he had planned on asking Ashley to be his wife.
can't do this!" wailed Brooke. Ridge asked Ashley if he could have some
privacy with Brooke and Ms. Abbott quickly left the room. Brooke refused to
believe that Ridge loved Ashley more than her. Ridge reminded Brooke that
she dumped him for Nick and he hasn't been over to get over that. "You
and I are just not meant to be," he lamented. Brooke insisted that she
didn't have a connection to Nick anymore.
While cooling her heels outside, Ashley got a call from Rick. She happily
announced that Ridge wanted to marry her, but he was explaining that to
Brooke. She crept back into the house to hear Ridge proclaim that "Ashley is
my future." Brooke tearfully removed the ring and gave it back to Ridge.
After she left, Ashley emerged, then wrapped her arms around Ridge. He was
depressed that Brooke had gotten the wrong idea but he got down on bended
knee. "Would you do me the great honor of becoming my wife?" he asked and
slipped the ring on her finger.
Thorne told Katie that he was glad that he and Donna were able to "clear the
air." He then showed her an old photo he found of them at Ridge and Brooke's
first wedding. Katie was horrified by her complexion back then, while Thorne
made fun of his hair. Thorne asked if she wanted to go sometime to a dance
club that played hits from the '90s and she said that could be fun. After
Thorne left, a devastated Brooke came home and explained to Katie that Ridge
was going to propose to Ashley.
Eric and Donna were making out but he suddenly pulled away. "Maybe you
should go home," Eric said. "I don't want to take advantage." Donna assured
that wouldn't be the case, but Eric still urged her to go home. She
reluctantly stood at the door to leave, but watched a conflicted
Eric in the living room. He later went upstairs to find Donna waiting in his
bed. He showed his wedding band for a reason not to go any farther; Donna
shot back that he didn't owe Stephanie anything. "Do what feels right," she
suggested and they returned to kissing.
Nick walked into his office to find Brooke hard at work. He could tell
something was weighing on her and asked "what's going on?" Brooke revealed
that Ridge and Ashley were engaged "I was completely blindsided," she
groaned. Nick advised Brooke to move on with her life; she maintained
that Ridge was still in love with her and she wasn't giving up. Nick wanted
to know why, and Brooke explained that she and Ridge have a son together. "I
can't stand the thought of another woman mothering my child," declared
Brooke, which made Nick squirm.
In the lab, Ashley admired her engagement ring. Ridge walked in and they
started making out. Ridge revealed that he shared their good news with
Phoebe and wanted to do the same with Hope and R.J. Ashley suggested that he
do that with Brooke. After Ridge left, Rick showed up and saw Ashley's ring.
She then ordered him not to flirt and be playful with her any longer.
"You're very sexy when you lay down the law," snickered Rick but they soon
start arguing about the Brooke factor. Ash was confident in Ridge's love but
Rick pointed out that they're not married yet. After Rick departed, Brooke
came into the lab looking for Ridge. Ashley apologized for last night's
misunderstanding but Brooke stubbornly claimed that Ridge still loves her.
Ash had to bluntly announce that Brooke and Ridge's relationship was
officially over now that he's marrying someone else. "He always comes back
to me," warned Brooke and stormed out.
Phoebe told Taylor about her father's engagement. Mom asked if Phoebe was
okay with it and she said she was but pointed out that Brooke must be very
unhappy over this latest development. Ridge showed up and Phoebe went on her
way. Taylor offered her congratulations and added, "I think your taste in
women is definitely improving." Ridge conceded that Brooke was going to have
a "difficult time" coping and hoped she wouldn't interfere in Nick's life.
Taylor said she was very secure in her marriage.
Brooke suggested that Nick cancel the upcoming showing since the collection
is mediocre at best. Jackie agreed that their designs are weak and they
wouldn't be able to compete with Eric on the runway. Clarke took exception
to everyone dissing his talent, but Jackie suggested that they revive
Brooke's Bedroom because of Brooke's "world famous sex appeal." As Jackie
blathered on with all the reasons they need Brooke's Bedroom, Brooke became
uncomfortable. "You should be out front and center," Jackie cheered but Nick
jumped in and said no. Brooke asked for a few moments with Nick, and after
Jackie and Clarke left the room, she assured that she could handle being the
spokesperson for her line again. Nick still refused. Brooke insisted that
this would be a way for her to heal. "I need to do this," she
Ridge informed Ashley that his mother isn't welcome in his office anymore.
Ashley assumed it was because Stephanie pushed so hard for Ridge to get
permanent custody of Brooke's kids. Felicia, Phoebe, Thorne and Rick arrived
at Ridge's behest and Ashley announced that they were engaged. Everyone
(except Rick) was thrilled and Thorne assumed Stephanie was on the rooftop
"with a bullhorn" extolling the news. Ridge shared that their mother was
currently out of town.
Donna was surprised to receive a delivery of roses from Eric. He showed up
and playfully complained that Donna hasn't returned any of his phone calls.
She explained it was because she knew what he was going to say. After
their bedroom romp, he most likely believed Stephanie's opinion about Donna.
Eric quickly pointed out that she underestimated him and that she was "an
extraordinary woman." Eric asked her out to dinner that night and Donna
eagerly accepted. She then realized that she forgot about Jackie's emergency
meeting, which tipped off Eric that all was not well at Forrester Creations.
Donna coyly slipped that if his designs were as good as she had been hearing
about, then Forrester Creations could be "on the ropes."
Backstage at the Forrester Creations fashion show, Nick asked Brooke if she
was truly ready to model for Brooke's Bedroom. Brooke assured she was. "It's
up to Brooke to get out there and sell it," said an excited Jackie. The
fashion show began, but the audience wasn't receptive to the designs. Nick
and Jackie started to fret for the future of the company if this show bombs.
Brooke came out of her dressing room in a robe, looking self-conscious.
Donna hurried by and asked, "Sweetie, are you okay?" Brooke jutted out her
jaw and declared yes. After Donna ran off, Brooke began to hear Andy's lewd
voice in her ears. Brooke started to crumble but tried to regain her
composure by telling herself that she was ready for this.
Ridge and Ashley were kissing in his office when Katie showed up, anxious to
talk to him. Ashley left for a meeting but smooched Ridge again for Katie's
benefit. Katie tipped off Ridge that Brooke was about to model lingerie at
Nick's fashion show. "This is completely insane," Ridge huffed and charged
over to Forrester Creations. Ridge angrily confronted Nick, who countered
that he wouldn't put Brooke through this if she hadn't said she was ready.
Ridge was surprised when Nick revealed that he knew about the rape. Brooke
approached and asked to have a moment with Ridge. After Nick left, Brooke
tried to assuage Ridge's concerns. "I need to get Brooke Logan back," she
explained. "I can handle this." Ridge reluctantly agreed and Brooke bussed
him on the cheek.
When Ashley couldn't find Ridge in the office, she accused Katie of being
part of her sister's campaign to win him back. Ashley refused to be
intimidate, but Ashley warned her to convince Brooke to back off.
From the backstage, Brooke anxiously looked out into the audience. She was
horrified when she thought she saw "The one, the only, Brooke Logan,"
Jackie announced from the stag, but Brooke bolted and locked herself in
Nick's office. Everyone was worried when they couldn't find Brooke, who was
having a panic attack and tearing the room apart. Ridge found her and Brooke
wailed that she hated what his mother and Andy have done to her. She started
screaming as she ripped off her lingerie and fell to the floor sobbing.
Ridge covered her with an afghan and tried to comfort her.

Anonymous hackers plead guilty to 2010 PayPal cyberattack
Thirteen people have pleaded guilty to charges connected to a 2010 cyberattack on PayPal for the eBay unit's refusal to process payments for WikiLeaks.
The hacktivist collective claimed responsibility for engineering the December 2010 distributed-denial-of-service attack in retaliation for the online payment processing company's suspension of an account linked to WikiLeaks after the document-leaking organization released a large number of classified documents.

While some refer to the principle of subsidiarity (governing, when possible, at the local level), as promoted by the EU, as an argument in favour of devolution, others emphasize that regional government improves the prospect of receiving EU regional subsidies. At the moment, there are striking differences between regions within Europe. While some regions have an economi 6.2 English regions At present, regional government in England is divided between local government and central government agencies. Eight English regions have a tripartite structure with responsibilities and powers divided in each region between the Government Office for the region (GO), the Regional Development Agency (RDA) and the Regional Chamber (most of which have now renamed themselves Regional Assemblies). The Labour government established Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) in April 1999. The role 5.2 Devolution in Scotland Scotland has endured a long and complicated process towards self-determination. In a 1979 referendum, the Scots voted in favour of the Labour government proposals to establish a Scottish Parliament, but, thanks to a special majority provision requiring at least 40 per cent of the registered electorate to vote in favour, devolution was rejected when only 32.9 per cent of the electorate voted in favour in the referendum. 7.2 Developing a strategy Present notes/records that show you have planned your use of problem-solving skills in tackling a selected problem from your study or work.

Fire deaths doctor tells of anguish
3:43am Sunday 15th September 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
Police have said they cannot rule out a house fire in Leicester being linked to the murder of a man nearby (Rui Vieira/PA)
A neurosurgeon has spoken of his grief after his family was killed in a suspected arson attack as police continue to question five people over the fatal house fire.
Muhammad Taufiq Al Sattar said he would "deeply miss" his "beautiful" wife, daughter and two teenage sons who died in a severe fire at their home in Wood Hill, Leicester, and called for justice to prevail.
Three women aged 19, 20, and 27 and two men aged 49 and 19 have been arrested in connection with the the fatal blaze, Leicestershire Police said.
Mr Sattar, who works in Ireland, spoke publicly after special prayers were said for his family at his local mosque yesterday, just a day after learning of the deaths on his return to the UK. "All of you know of the tragic incident in which my entire family has passed away," he said.
"I deeply miss my beautiful wife and three beautiful children. What has happened has happened and nothing can be reversed but I hope justice prevails and in future this should not happen to any family in the UK. "
Shehnila Taufiq, who was in her 40s, died with her 19-year-old daughter Zainab and sons, Bilal, 17, and Jamal, 15, in the fire in the early hours of Friday. It is feared the family's property was targeted by mistake in a revenge attack following a fatal assault in nearby Kent Street. Inquiries have found no evidence to suggest anyone who lived at the fire-hit property was involved in any way with the earlier incident.
Leicestershire's assistant chief constable Roger Bannister said: "While we are investigating links between the two crimes there is absolutely no evidence to suggest those who died in the fire, or indeed anyone else who lives in that property, was involved in the assault in Kent Street. Because of the close proximity - in terms of time and location - of the two incidents, it is right that we look at whether there are links between the two crimes. However, at this stage in our investigations we have found nothing to suggest the residents of the house devastated by the fire had anything to do with the Kent Street incident."
A man and two women have been arrested in connection with the Kent Street murder as friends of the victim, named in reports as Antoin Akpom, visited the scene to pay their respects. A police spokesman later said the two women detained in connection with the Kent Street incident had been been released without charge. The women, both aged 19, were arrested in the Warwickshire area at about 4pm on Friday. The man being questioned over the death of Mr Akpom, who is also aged 19, remains in custody. He was arrested in London at around 5.30pm on Friday.
Leicester East MP Keith Vaz visited Wood Hill, in the Spinney Hills area of Leicester, after police lifted a cordon which had been in place since the fire. The MP also attended a tribute to Mr Akpom at Leicester Nirvana FC.
Speaking near the fire scene, Mr Vaz said: "The whole city is in shock. The police have done a superb job so far and I think everyone wants to see the perpetrators of these five deaths brought to justice as quickly as possible. I have been to the Nirvana Football Club for a tribute to Antoin with his family. They are grief-stricken as Dr Sattar is grief-stricken. I think it's very, very important that we allow the police to get on with their work."

Flyers forward Danny Briere diagnosed with a concussion
For Flyers forward Danny Briere, the news keeps getting worse. The Flyers announced Monday that Briere would be sidelined indefinitely because of a concussion. He was injured during Saturday's practice in Voorhees, crashing into the boards during a drill. Defenseman Nick Grossmann was injured during Friday's practice and is day to day with an unspecified upper-body injury. "That's part of hockey and that happens," said defenseman Kimmo Timonen before the team released the extent of Briere's injury. "That tells you how hard we practiced actually that week....You never want to lose two players because of practice, but it's part of the game and I've seen that happen. Hopefully, these guys get back soon."

Update 6/17/2012
Yep we're still here and even better news: "Romancing the Ordinary" has passed peer review. You should be seeing it in the store in a couple days. More to come!
Update 2/28/2011
Man oh man - its been a little bit since I posted but ROJ is still going strong. My schedule's been pretty packed with playing shows and recording music and doing band stuff in general. I've been slacking on the RB side of things BUT good news: Romancing the Ordinary just hit playtesting. We should be seeing that one coming soon. Also the new album is coming strong. Be watching for new music hitting playtesting soon! And - btw thanks for all of the support from the RB community. I don't know if other bands feel it as much as we do but our RB crowd are really an awesome group. I don't check my private messages much on the forums here but if you have a question or just want to shoot the ****, anybody on the boards can feel free to email me at matt at roseofjericho dot com.
Update 9/6/2011
Hey guys, its been a little while since I updated the thread so i thought I'd add what's been going on:
* We have released "These City Lights" with keys, harmonies and pro drums.
* Our music video for Midnight Eyes is now up. Check it out here.
* ROJ is RBN Artist of the Month for September. Check out an interview with me and Andrea here.
* Also we have had several songs released to PS3 so that is very cool too!
Thanks again to everyone for supporting us on Rock Band. I can't tell you how much a difference it has made. We have basically gone from one song on RBN to Artist of the Month and we have HMX and our fans to thank, so thanks!
Update 7/19/2011
Hey guys, sorry for the long delay in updates. We haven't disappeared; just been busy. Several things happening:
Find Beauty has been released for the PS3. WOOT!
And These City Lights has passed peer review so it should be in the store soon.
ROJ has been getting regular rotation on over 40 college radio stations across the US and we owe a lot of thanks to our fans on Rock Band. You guys have really supported us and we wanted to say thanks!. Check out our facebook page for a list of radio stations to see if we are getting airplay in your area!
Update 5/31/2011
Quick update, Midnight Eyes (RB3 version) is now in the RBN store with harmonies and pro keys. Check out a video here:
Midnight Eyes (RB3 version) Full Band
Also, by request, These City Lights is now in playtesting and will be coming to the store soon:
These City Lights Full Band Preview
Update 4/12/2011
Two new releases to RBN: you may have already noticed Buried Cold (RB3 Version) is now out with upgrade keys, pro drums, and harmonies and Find Beauty just hit the store today. Hope to have videos soon!
In celebration of getting our first RBN 2.0 song in the store, check out Andrea performing Buried Cold on vox:
Update 3/1/2011
Find Beauty is now in playtest! Go RBN 2! (Sorry we're pretty excited over here).
Update 2/16/2011
OK, we have a preview video of Find Beauty with pro keys, check it out here:
Also if you are curious about our re-releases we are working with RhythmAuthors to get Buried Cold and Take Me Away re-released with pro drums, pro keys, and harmonies. So you should be being seeing those soon!
Update 2/14/2011
Hope you guys are as excited about RBN 2.0 as we are. Charting for Find Beauty is done and we are just waiting for HMX to flip the switch and it will be in playtesting. As we're getting closer to releasing our first RBN 2 track we wanted to let you know that we decided to charge 160 msp for new tracks.
There was a lot of discussion on our end as our goal is to get our music out to as many people as possible. But from here on out all ROJ tracks will include pro keys, pro drums and harmonies. The amount of additional work that is going into the songs is really substantial, especially on the QA side. We want to make sure that every ROJ track is as good as anything that HMX would put out, and we feel the slight increase in price is fair considering the amount of work that is put in and the fact that we are self-releasing all of these tracks.
Also for re-released songs in RBN 2 we will be charging 80 msp, and treating re-releases like upgrades. We're always trying to look out for our fans that have already spent their money and we didn't feel it was right for them to have to re-buy a song at full price. Thanks to everyone that have supported us on Rock Band!
Update 1/19/2011
Well its been a little while since I posted here and I hope you guys had a great holiday break. The band had a nice chance to take a little breather over the holidays but we are back at it. With the release of the RBN 2.0 documentation we are well into charting Find Beauty to include harmonies and pro keys. We also have a couple more songs in the pipeline that will include pro keys as well. I'll update with more info as RBN 2.0 gets closer to release!

"Americans' bottled water habit costs $100 billion a year and uses 17 million barrels of oil in production alone," according to
If one million Americans used rain barrels, they could collect enough water for the daily usage of one million people.
I concentrate on conserving water which is my main concern in regards to the global warming crisis. I conserve by not buying bottled water, filtering my tap water, installing a water saving shower head, cutting down on showers and flushing, not using a dishwasher, and reusing water for dish washing manually.

Chocolate Marshmallow Whoopie Pies
From time to time, I'll be asked for recipe recommendations by friends or family members and I love being able to make a suggestion; it's one of the major benefits of having tried so many recipes for my blog. It's rare that I can't come up with something to pass along. Recently, though, a friend wanted a whoopie pie recommendation and I confess I was a bit stumped. My mind went immediately to the pumpkin whoopie pies I made last fall, which were amazing. I like to bake with pumpkin year-round, but I figure not everyone shares my passion for pumpkin, so I also wanted to offer an alternative suggestion. As I dug through my archives I was pretty surprised to discover I'd never made another whoopie pie variation! I knew I had to remedy that quickly, so I made this recipe a few weeks later.
This is a traditional whoopie pie - a marshmallow creme center sandwiched between two chocolate cookies - and, I'm glad to say, it does not disappoint. The cookies themselves are rich and chocolaty, but not too sweet, making them a perfect match for the marshmallow filling. If your mind works like mine, you might be worried about the texture of the filling, given that it contains fluff, a notoriously sticky, messy ingredient to work with. I can assure you the filling is great once it comes together - neither overly sticky nor sickly sweet. My biggest tip for this recipe - make sure you sift your cocoa powder before adding it to the batter. I rarely sift anything anymore as I find whisking generally does the job but I regretted skipping it here. I couldn't get the lumps of cocoa powder broken up in the batter and my cookies emerged from the oven with visible lumps of cocoa powder - not good but easily fixed next time.
I will happily recommend these next time someone asks about whoopie pies. And now I want to search out even more recipes to try, because I'm pretty sure you can never have enough whoopie pies in your arsenal :)
Chocolate Marshmallow Whoopie Pies
from Martha Stewart (via Annie's Eats)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
7 1/2 oz marshmallow fluff
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
To make the cookies: In a medium bowl sift the flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder together. (Don't skip the sifting - you will have lumps of cocoa powder in your cookies if you do.) In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until incorporated. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Using a 1-oz dough scoop, drop the batter onto the prepared baking pans, 12 cookies per pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes (rotating the pans halfway through) until the cookies spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
To make the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add the confectioner's sugar and beat until incorporated - the mixture will become crumbly at first, just keep beating and it will come together. Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
When the cookies have cooled completely, pair them up by size. Spread (or pipe) a dollop of the filling on the flat side of one cookie from each pair. Sandwich the cookies, pressing together to push the filling to the edges.
Store the whoopie pies in an airtight container.
Makes about 24 whoopie pies

I keep seeing the whoopie pie everywhere and haven't tried it. This reminds me of the Suzy Q's from Hostess that I loved as a child, but I bet these will be 100 times better than a preservative filled, mass produced product. Bookmarked.

To Install, or not to install. That is the Question!
Ok folks I'm workin multiple angles to try and figure this out, but I'm bettin somebody here will have a faster answer!
I purchased the Volant Ram scoop to compliment my Volant CAI, but have yet to install it. Although VERY dry out here in the desert, it does rain occasionally. My issue is with the semi flooded streets and the ram scoop. See, I can tread 14" of water no problem in the truck, but the scoop opening would be below the waterline. I'm concerned that at 35-45mph, I may force water up into the intake box and cause myself some serious problems. I'm not overly confident that I will be "just fine" which is why I'm lookin for some fellow gear head guidance. IF it turns out to be an issue, I'll wait to install the scoop when I've figured out how to equip a decent plug for the opening. Would rather cap it from the outside instead of having to pull the filter out to cap it every time the moronic weather person says it MIGHT rain . Not sure if it's relevant, but I also have the Power Core filter installed. Cheers and thanks again!
Oh, and if it turns out I need to plug the goram thing, I'd love to hear ideas! Thanks!!

I don't think you will have to worry about that as much as you think. Water will go to the lowest point in the intake, unless you are flooring it wide open all the time.
I was stationed in AZ for a few years, and yeah it was dry most of the time but during "monsoon" season the streets would flood. It rained very little there, not much different than Vegas (been there also).
I am not very familiar with the Volant CAI and hood scoop, but I do know that the filter will provide a ton of protection. You would have to be completely submerged to hydro lock the motor more than likely.

03-19-2013, 06:47 AM #4I'm running that exact setup (Volant air box, Power Core, and Volant scoop) and the pre-filter is absolutely the way to go -- both for water and dust reasons as Enkei mentioned. It's basically cheap, reliable insurance.
I did't know if a round K&N pre-filter would fit the Power Core, so I stuck to the Volant pre-filter so I wouldn't have to hassle with the possibility of a return.
03-19-2013, 08:28 AM #5I have that setup minus the pre-filter, plus I have functional ram air through my hood going to the air box. I drive my truck through rain, snow, ice, whatever Ohio weather brings, and have never had a problem.

03-19-2013, 03:14 PM #6Thanks for the input, folks! Think I'll pick up the prefilter and then install the ram scoop. As dry as it is, IF I end up having concerns about the water I will have plenty of time to devise a cap! Thanks again!
03-20-2013, 02:05 AM #7You shouldn't need to bother with a cap. The Volant pre-filter only allows .004 micron or smaller things through it. A water molecule is .0001 microns -- meaning it'll make it through, but keep in mind that we're talking MOLECULES of water ... which are in the air your engine already ingests, as atmospheric air is never perfectly dry. Cloud, fog, and/or mist droplets tend to be 10-15 microns in size ... and won't make it through. They are 10 times smaller than the smallest of raindrops ... which, obviously, also won't make it through.
03-24-2013, 08:00 PM #8Hey folks, finally installed the scoop! Was a bit of a learning curve fitting the tube into the truck, but my grandfather and I were able to pull it off! After talkin with Lew, I'll put some miles on the truck and then log a new run to see if a modification to my tune is necessary. Thanks again for all the support!
Oh and on a side note, I tried e-mailing Volant a few times inquiring about my concerns, but nobody ever responded. Will try giving them a call Monday to see what was goin on. It's one thing if my worries were unfounded, but quite another to ignore a loyal customer.

MY Times is a monthly online newsletter designed specifically for Millikin Young Alumni who have graduated within the past decade and features information about Millikin events, upcoming alumni events in your area and a closer look at ways to stay engaged with Millikin!
Name: Giovanni Eric Pasotto '04
Current job position (or additional field of study) and where: Managing Director – Centro Studi Italiani
Millikin major: Marketing major, Music minor
Why did you choose MU?
I chose Millikin because it was very different and much more personal than all other schools. This was pretty obvious from the get-go. What I liked about Millikin right away was the flexibility that was given to me in creating my own personal academic path and the diversity of the offered programs. As an international student, I was given all the available options and opportunities. This is not always the case in other schools.
What activities did you participate in as a student?
When at Millikin, I kept myself very busy! My schedule was always packed and that is how I liked it. My junior year, I joined Delta Sigma Phi and was the social chair of my fraternity for an entire year. One year, I co-chaired Fall Family Weekend and I was in Concert Choir three out of my four years. I assisted the professor with the Italian classes for several semesters, and my last year, I was on Homecoming court. Life on campus was never dull and always fun!
Who was your most memorable MU professor and why?
All of my professors were great but one stood out: my academic advisor, Sharon Alpi! What would I have done without her?! She had such a great impact on both my professional and personal development over those four years at Millikin. She kept me on track and has always been there for me! Today, I am lucky to call her a colleague and a dear friend. She is one of the main reasons why I love Millikin so much!
What is your most memorable MU experience?
Graduation day, of course! I was so proud of myself and everything I was able to accomplish over those four years. When your name is called and you walk across that stage, you feel the weight of how much work you put into that dreamed-of diploma come off your shoulders! I was very lucky to have my family and friends with me on that special occasion. That is a day I will never forget for the rest of my life!
What is one concept you learned at Millikin that you use in your work regularly?
No one will ever feed you the right answers and make it easy on you. It does not work that way! You, and only you, are the one who has to figure it all out in the end! Work, and life in general, are nothing but a collage of "tools" and experience. The way you combine them and with whom you share your result is what makes all the difference.
What do you enjoy most about your current job?
As a managing director of an international language school, traveling and meeting new people is what I enjoy most! I enjoy very much the wonderful relationships I have with all our international partners and of course, the students! There are days when they function as my "energy bar." They give me wonderful waves of inspiration and enormously rewarding feedback.
What have you done that you are most proud of since graduating from MU?
Taking over the family business in an amazing collaborative effort with my sisters. We did and still are making all of the necessary changes so that the business is up to date with the current times. We are constantly making sure the school grows solidly so it will be strong enough to face the inevitable future challenges.
Where do you hope to be five years from now?
Still involved with international education, ideally with one or two more school branches around Italy and maybe an innovative connection with a new country. India is on my list!
What advice would you give to current Millikin students about preparing for life after graduation?
Work as hard as you can and try to go abroad at least once in your life! Global experiences are important in the process of understanding and respecting differences between human beings.

The primary goal for each Senior Class Committee is to raise money for a gift that will be left to the university as a lasting reminder of the class. These funds are raised through personal solicitations of the senior class, fundraising events and social events that help build relationships among the students. The process also helps educate the seniors about the importance of giving back as they begin the transition into alumni status.
The 2012 Senior Class Committee, led by Melissa Nodurft, raised more than $3,500 over the course of their senior year to purchase their class gift of two granite benches. The benches were installed on campus last month in front of the Abraham Lincoln statue on Shilling's front lawn.
"When the 2012 Senior Class Committee met to decide on a class gift, we knew we wanted to create a visible and functional feature on campus," Melissa says. "Because of the structural changes planned at the university, many of our ideas could not be approved by Millikin's facility services department. Not to be discouraged, the group finally had the idea of creating a seating/studying area near one of the students' favorite meeting places: the Lincoln statue. Facilities services helped the committee conceptualize benches that would fit both the aesthetics of the grounds as well as the red brick for which Millikin is known.
"The money was raised through campus events such as senior nights at LSB and the annual "Wine and Dine" event. Many seniors chose to donate toward the gift, as well.
"The class of 2012 was excited to give back to the institution. Looking toward future homecomings, the benches will serve as a great meeting place for class members returning year after year."

Fold in a bit of good cheer and be prepared to own your career!
By Kristin Nisbet-White, assistant director of the Millikin Career Center
Names: Odell and Hilary Van Kuiken Mitchell, both '07
Hometowns: Odell: O'Fallon, Ill. Hilary: New Lenox, Ill.
Millikin majors: Odell: Music Business Hilary: Commercial Music
When, where, and how did you first meet at Millikin? Odell: I first met Hilary during an ultimate Frisbee game. I was a sophomore and she was a freshman, and our Intervarsity chapter was playing against the Richland Intervarsity chapter. I distinctly remember her killing it during that game! Hilary: I noticed him the first Friday I was at Millikin at an Intervarsity meeting and thought, "That guy seems awesome … I wonder if he's dating anyone." I wouldn't think about that second part again until a year and a half later!
What do you remember about the first time meeting each other? Odell: She laughed at my jokes! I thought she was really cool, down-to-earth and comfortable in her own skin. We became fast friends. Hilary: He befriended nearly everyone and was so easy to talk to and joke around with. I was impressed with his ability to relate with people and make them laugh and not leave anyone out of the fun! He genuinely cared about everyone.
What did you do on your first date? Odell: Because of how we came to be together, it's hard to pinpoint a first date. However, there was a distinct tipping point in that "Oh my gosh, I think I'm totally into her!" phase. One year, I happened to stay at school during a fall break. Unaware that she had done the same, I set the away message for my AOL Instant Messenger (that's right. Remember those days?) to something like, "Bored over break. If anyone wants to hang out and play some video games or something, let me know." Not long after that, she IM'd me: "I'm here, I'm bored, and did someone say video games?!" So, we grabbed a pizza and spent the evening playing games, watching movies and talking about anything and everything. It was a really special night and to this day, we still very much enjoy gaming together! Hilary: I think our "official" first date was on Valentine's Day in 2006. We had both FINALLY admitted we wanted to be together a week or two before. Odell made me a nice candlelight dinner. Roasted Dijon chicken and potatoes, Caesar salad with homemade dressing. Dude can cook? SCORE.
Where was your favorite place to hang-out together at Millikin? Odell: The Perkinson Music Center lobby benches. We were bona fide PMC Bench Warmers! In fact, when I proposed to Hilary, the fanfare included being in the lobby surrounded by all of our friends. Hilary: Definitely PMC, and at the house Odell lived in over on Prairie Street.
What is your most memorable Millikin experience as a couple? Odell: We were in choir together during most of our time at Millikin. During my senior year, I cherished the places we sang together with University Choir. From the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., to Miami, Fla., at Millikin's first appearance at the national conference of the American Choral Directors Association, the memory of singing and representing Millikin alongside Hilary still fills me with pride and joy. Hilary: Our first choir tour together. It was before we had started dating, and we both got back to school early and hung out a bunch before we left for tour. Then we sat next to each other on the tour bus, which really was what got the ball rolling for our soon-to-be relationship.
Where has your relationship taken you since Millikin? Odell: We now live in downtown Chicago, and we love it! Between our jobs, our friends, our church family and our creative endeavors, we've been blessed rather exceedingly. We've been through a lot in the five years since we married, but we know we're just getting started. Hilary: The first five years were a whirlwind of both good and bad, and I think that's common for newlyweds. But I wake up every morning thankful for our past struggles and successes, and I am so excited for our future. I learn more and more about Odell every single day and cherish every minute of this journey. Now, I'm working for an interactive media company and Odell is in law school. We are preparing for what new ventures will come after he graduates!
What advice would you give young couples in love at Millikin? Odell: Know that what lies ahead is greater than that which is in the past. Take that knowledge to heart and use it to make great memories at Millikin – memories that will only serve to season your future with joy as time passes. Hilary: People change, go different directions, decide new paths after college. Take advantage of the time and friends you have now at Millikin, but embrace the change and newness that the next seasons of life will bring to your relationship.
Want to share your story of how you found love at Millikin? Email Jaclyn Weisenborn '09, associate director of alumni engagement, with your expressed interest. One couple will be featured each month in MY Times.
Name: Amy Bearden '06, Pictured at far-left with members of The Marion Consort (from left to right) Molly Pufall-Brown '05, Chris Henricks '04, Hans Royal-Hedinger '08, Kyle Shiver-Simpson '07, Kristen Donnelly '10 and Melissa Curtis '06.
Current job position (or additional field of study) and where:Elementary Music Teacher at Horizon Science Academy – McKinley Park, Chicago and Artistic Director of The Marion Consort, Chicago
Millikin major:Music Education
Why did you choose MU?I don't think I could have articulated the reasons at the time, but I knew that I wanted to go to a small school. I had heard about Millikin because Chapter 6 had come to perform at my high school. I visited the campus in September of my senior year and felt right at home. I knew Millikin was the place I wanted to be.
What activities did you participate in as a student?I was a member of University Choir and One Voice. I was also an orientation leader and worked in the Office of Student Programs.
Who was your most memorable MU professor and why?I had so many wonderful professors at Millikin – it makes it hard to narrow down! I would say Dr. Hadi Gibbons, my voice teacher. I started with her my sophomore year. She whipped me into shape while giving me the freedom to explore different styles of music – one of the aspects that led me to explore early music.
What is your most memorable MU experience?As a music education major, I student taught in the second semester of my senior year. The UChoir Homecoming tour concert in January of that school year would be my last real concert with the University Choir. During my final performance of "Praise to the Lord" as a UChoir member, Dr. Holmes stopped conducting, closed his eyes, smiled and just took in the music. I still get emotional thinking about that moment.
What is one concept you learned at Millikin that you use in your work regularly?I believe that Millikin prepared me extremely well for my teaching career and for ensemble directing. The hands-on experience I got early on was so important in helping me get used to being in the classroom.
What do you enjoy most about your current job? There are so many enjoyable aspects to teaching elementary music. I love laughing and jumping around with my students, as well as experiencing the excitement on a child's face when they finally learn what a quarter note is. It's the little things! With The Marion Consort, I love being able to continue to make music with my best friends and to explore new, old music. [Editor's note: The Marion Consort is an early music ensemble that specializes in choral music from the medieval, baroque and Renaissance periods. Learn more at: www.marionconsort.org.]
What have you done that you are most proud of since graduating from MU? I am most proud of starting The Marion Consort, which had been a dream of mine for some time. I took the plunge and even went back to get my master's degree in early music from Indiana University. Since then, highlights include being featured on Milwaukee Public Radio and singing at the Chicago Cultural Center. Come hear us! The Marion Consort will perform an a cappella Christmas concert Sunday, Dec. 15, at 4 p.m., at the Byron Colby Barn, 1561 Jones Point Rd, Grayslake, Ill. For information, visit the Byran Colby Barn website.
Where do you hope to be five years from now?I would love to continue performing regularly with The Marion Consort, and maybe even link up with a school where The Marion Consort could be the artist-in-residence and we could give workshops about early music and a cappella music.
What advice would you give to current Millikin students about preparing for life after graduation?Don't leave everything to the last minute, but don't always plan everything. Some things you just have to either let happen or wait out. Follow your heart, no matter what.
Three current employees sign up for new positions on campus, while a 1993 alum works to fill some mighty big shoes.
Gina Bianchi '93: Senior Director of Alumni & Donor Engagement
Gina Bianchi joined the Alumni and Development staff as the senior director of alumni and donor engagement in August after having been away from Millikin for 20 years. As a student, she was involved with the University Center board, a member of the softball team, an employee of the fitness center and a resident assistant. After graduating with a degree in communications, she worked at Illinois Wesleyan University for three years as a hall director, assistant softball coach and a conference coordinator.
From 1996-2013, Bianchi worked at Illinois State University, most recently serving six years as director of alumni relations. Her other roles at ISU included assistant director of the athletics study center, athletic development coordinator, director of the annual fund and director of development for the division of student affairs.
Although filling the shoes of her predecessor, Jan Devore, is a large task, she feels she is up to the challenge. Bianchi is most excited about returning home to serve the university she loves. Although she knows her classmates from 1993, she is eager to meet other alumni and play the "do you know?" game. Bianchi believes if a conversation lasts long enough, you can always find a Millikin connection.
Gail Crookshank: Director of PACE (Professional Adult Comprehensive Education)
Looking ahead, Gail and her team hope to help identify new markets for PACE, which could include additional majors and/or specific series of courses that could be packaged in educational units to provide additional value to adults in the workplace. They also hope to explore alternative delivery methods for PACE courses. Gail believes there are several opportunities to partner with other academic departments at Millikin to create new opportunities for adults in Decatur and surrounding communities.
Paul Lidy '04: Director of Residence Life
Paul Lidy joined the Office of Residence Life as director in June, returning to his roots after working for five years in the Office of Student Programs (now Inclusion and Student Engagement). As an undergraduate student, Lidy was very involved in the Residence Hall Association (now Student Housing Council) and in the Office of Residence Life. After graduating from Millikin, Lidy earned a master's degree in college student personnel from Western Illinois University in 2006 before returning to MU in 2008.
Lidy works to continue building strong residential communities on Millikin's campus. His personal goal: for all Office of Residence Life staff members to know each residential student by the end of the academic year. Lidy's future goal for his staff is to focus even more on each student's experiences inside and outside the halls in order to build a greater sense of community. He believes much of this work will be done through our active Living Learning Communities.
Jason Wickline '94: University Registrar
Jason Wickline was named university registrar in August, replacing the retiring Walt Wessel '69. A 1994 Millikin graduate with a bachelor's degree in management information systems, Wickline spent the last 19 years working in the information technology field. He began his Millikin employment in 2003, when he joined MU's Information Technology (IT) department and worked with technology to enhance student and alumni access to academic records. While in that department, he served in several roles, ultimately serving as senior systems analyst/team leader.
As the new university registrar, he notes that alumni and students can continue to count on the Registrar's Office to provide quality service to the entire Millikin community, to send academic records (transcripts) as needed, to provide guidance about transferable courses for students returning to complete a degree or seeking a new degree, and to provide verification of degrees for alumni.Wickline is eager to work individually with faculty and students in his new role. He believes technology can only go so far in explaining the university's requirements for graduation. He plans to continue the Millikin tradition of offering personal, face-to-face assistance to explain how specific courses can fulfill degree requirements.
At a recent alumni networking event in Chicago, discussion focused the ideal skills sought in a new hire, with solid writing and communication skills emerging as an absolute must. With that in mind, here are some tips to help you polish your professional writing and communication skills.
Know your purpose and audience.Be clear on your audience and your reason for communicating. Carefully consider and choose the appropriate tone, including vocabulary and style, for your purpose and your audience.
Be aware of your organization's brand.As an employee, you are a representative or brand ambassador of that organization, so communicate in ways that positively reflect your workplace. Also, model your communication style on the styles used by leaders within your organization.
Be courteous and concise.Be respectful of others in your professional communications. Give credit where credit is due, spell names correctly and use non-offensive language. Give top priority to the most important information in your messages and edit out unnecessary words so that vital content can be easily understood by the reader.
Don't plagiarize.With all the online resources available, it has never been easier to present work by others as your own writing. Your discredit yourself and your organization if you use another communicator's words as your own. In cases where you must present information from another source, be sure to give proper attribution.
Find a mentor.Consult a communication expert, especially if you find yourself in a situation where proper communication protocol is unclear. Connecting to someone who is respected in your industry can provide insight to help avoid any communication faux pas.
Need help finding an expert? Visit Millikin's mentoring network (accessible through collegecentral.com/millikin) or the Millikin group in LinkedIn to connect to some Big Blue assistance.
Names:Tony and Amy Hettinger Marx, both '08
Hometowns: Tony: Rockford, Ill.Amy: Philo, Ill.
Millikin majors:Tony: Commercial MusicAmy: Music Business and Flute Performance
When, where, and how did you first meet at Millikin?Tony: Weck Hall at the First Week orientation meeting. We went around the room and introduced ourselves to everyone. We really officially met at our Vocal Jazz auditions later that week though, in PMC.Amy: We first officially met during our vocal jazz audition freshman year for Vocal Jazz Company. But according to Tony's amazing memory he recognized me from a Millikin vocal festival that occurred in 2003, our junior year of high school!
What do you remember about the first time meeting each other?Tony: Thinking she was way out of my league! Amy: I kept looking down the audition line and noticed this guy that kept glancing my way. Finally he spoke up and said, "You're that girl! That girl from Millikin vocal festival a couple years ago!" Which was true, our high school choir attended that festival, and our choir was the guest choir. In one of the songs, I had had a solo. Tony must have enjoyed that performance to remember my face! It was definitely a conversation opener and we became good friends after that.
What did you do on your first date?Tony: We didn't really have a first date. I asked her to go with me to a party, but we ended up staying in our dorm and talking through the night. Much better. And cost me nothing! Amy: It wasn't until after sophomore year UChoir tour that we started to notice a connection. It's so hard to remember back then because our friendship and relationship just started to snowball into a whirlwind of fun and college experiences! But I would say our first "date" was when Tony invited me to a UChoir tour after-party at the "Blue House." He came to my dorm to walk me there and we just actually ended up hanging out and talking the entire night!
Where was your favorite place to hang-out together at Millikin?Tony: PMC, or the caf. We lived across the hall from each other junior and senior year, so really, our apartments were the spot!Amy: PMC, the caf … looks like we hung out in places that had anything to do with music or food!
What is your most memorable Millikin experience as a couple?Tony: Traveling/singing together (Dominican Republic, Canada & China, among others) Amy: I would say our favorite experiences were the traveling and tours we were so blessed to do together. From Miami to the Dominican Republic to Washington, D.C., and China! We were very blessed by Millikin's musical organizations to provide great life and educational experiences with these tours!
Where has your relationship taken you since Millikin?Tony: I moved to Nashville after graduation, and she went to grad school, also in Tennessee. After she finished school, she moved to Nashville, and we are now in the process of building our first home. Amy: We have now been married for three years and live in Nashville, Tenn. Our relationship has grown through time apart in different cities, graduate school, new jobs, to now building our first home in Tennessee.
What advice would you give young couples in love at Millikin?Tony: Cherish your time together there. It will be some of the most memorable you'll have.Amy: I would say enjoy your time together at Millikin and get involved any way you can. Give of yourself, your time and talents to create memories together that make you smile years after you leave campus.
Name: Annie Kennedy '09
Current job position (or additional field of study) and where:Independent Singer/Songwriter, Nashville, Tenn. (Also has "day job" as a licensed insurance representative at State Farm in Nashville)
Millikin major:Commercial Music
Why did you choose MU?I knew I wanted to go somewhere with a commercial music major, and I had heard great things about the program at Millikin. I had also heard amazing reviews of the choir and knew that I wanted to sing in a high-caliber collegiate choir.
What activities did you participate in as a student?I sang in Chamber Chorale Freshmen year and was a three-year member of the University Choir; also sang in madrigals and two jazz ensembles, Rebirth of Cool and Syren. I also held executive board positions with Up 'Til Dawn, the Newman Catholic Community and Sigma Alpha Iota.
Who was your most memorable MU professor and why?Dr. Travis Stimeling. He had such a passion for music and history, as well as for his students. He was my adviser for my James Millikin Scholars Honors Project, and the time and care he spent with me on my research was invaluable. He was just one of those professors who you could tell loved his students and loved his job, and it was a joy being in his classroom!
What is your most memorable MU experience?It was definitely the trip that University Choir took to China in 2008. The musical and cultural experiences we had on that tour shaped my outlook on life and music and inspired me to continue sharing my passion with others in the hope of promoting peace and understanding through the arts.
What is one concept you learned at Millikin that you use in your work regularly?It takes a team to cultivate success. Surround yourself with people who compliment your own strengths and weaknesses. Any good choral singer will tell you that it takes the right blend of different voices to get the sound you want!
What do you enjoy most about your current job? I absolutely love being a songwriter, because I love getting to share stories and experiences with others. My songs aren't always my own stories, but they are always real and come from a very honest place. I love that each person you come in contact with is going to have different connections to different songs. It's cool seeing universal concepts like love and life hitting home in very personal ways for the audience, and I love being able to experience those connections with them.
Where do you hope to be five years from now?My goal in five years is to still be writing and performing, playing even more dates each year than I am now. I also hope to have a publishing contract, whether that is a staff writing position or single song contract.
What is a short piece of advice you'd give to current Millikin students about preparing for life after graduation?Life doesn't always follow the path you think it will, so take all the lessons you can from Millikin and apply them to whatever road you wind up on!
On July 1, 2013, after almost a year of study and preparation, Millikin's Board of Trustees approved a sweeping change to the safety and security department on campus: It is now completely managed and directed by the university, rather than by an outside contractor. As part of the change, the name was changed to the Department of Public Safety to more accurately reflect its mission. The department is still headed by Director Chris Ballard, a certified police officer and who was officially sworn in as Millikin's chief of police in late July by Interim President Dr. Patrick White. Three more sworn law enforcement officers, one of whom will serve as assistant director of public safety and oversee law enforcement operations on campus, will be added during the academic year. Ballard notes that the transition to a proprietary security team overseen by trained, experienced police officers will lead to a more professional department.
What do these changes mean for Millikin?From a services-provided perspective, little change should be noted. The same services will continue to be offered, including Safe Rides/Safe Walks, physical patrol, alarm monitoring, lockout assistance, life safety checks and general incident investigation and reporting. The officers will continue to be the 24/7/365 resource for the campus community.
However, the campus community will now have trained law enforcement officers on staff and available to quickly and efficiently address potential criminal matters or threats to campus safety. While their primary jurisdiction is campus-owned and operated properties, these campus police officers have the same legal authority as city and county officers within Macon County. As campus police officers, they also have the added discretion and ability to engage the internal processes at Millikin to address conduct issues without using the formal criminal justice system unless needed.
These department changes will also allow Millikin to strengthen its partnerships with the City of Decatur Police and the Macon County Sheriff's Office, with the City of Decatur Police Department continuing to be the primary agency to handle major investigations and incidents.
