Let me first say that I haven't read through any of this thread yet, so if this question has already been asked or answered I apologize.
Is it possible to use the aluminum scoop from a 427 Cobra as a replacement for the SGT?
No. The curvature of the hood is VERY different.

Hyatt Place Hotel and The Residences at Lighthouse Cove meet construction milestones
Dewey Beach Enterprises has regained time lost from the effects of Hurricane Sandy and remains on track to complete Phase 1 construction for the scheduled Memorial Day weekend grand opening of the Hyatt Place Hotel and luxury oceanside condominiums, The Residences at Lighthouse Cove, Dewey Beach (formerly Ruddertowne).
A project update, including photos of ongoing construction at Dickinson Avenue on the bay, including Hyatt Place Hotel features, oceanside condominium floor plans and amenities, is provided at www.TheResidencesDE.com and at The Residences Facebook page, facebook.com/TheResidencesAtLighthousecovedeweybeach.
The multi-phased Lighthouse Cove project is one of the largest private-sector construction projects under way in Delaware. The project is currently employing 45 full-time subcontractors, with the concrete post tension structure being poured during January and February. Daystar Sills as the general contractor with additional subcontractors, of an estimated 50-plus employees, will begin HVAC, plumbing and electrical rough-in work later in January.
The third-level structure was completed this week. Upon completion, The Lighthouse Cove project will have a positive economic effect on the town with building permit revenue that has been paid to the town and county, property values, year-round employment and family entertainment choices for Dewey Beach and neighboring communities throughout the county.
A fully furnished luxury condominium model is now open for private tours by appointment. To schedule a private tour of the model, contact Laura Henne of McWilliams|Ballard at 302-222-0002, or email@example.com.
"Excitement has accelerated with condominium prospects in the new year," stated Henne, "and four of the anticipated 12 luxury Oceanside condominiums have already sold. Additional broker and buyer incentives will be announced later in January."
Delaware Economic Development Office Director Alan Levin says Dewey Beach and the entire Delaware coastline will benefit from the stellar presence of Hyatt Hotels, a global leader in the hospitality industry.
"We are happy Hyatt Hotels chose to add Dewey Beach to its worldwide portfolio of hotels," said Levin. "As a $2.1 billion industry in Delaware, tourism is a key economic driver in the state. The redevelopment project [Lighthouse Cove] will create jobs and spur further economic growth."
"Sussex County has experienced an extraordinarily high construction industry unemployment rate over the last few years as a result of the recession. We're excited to help put Delawareans back to work", said E. Thomas Harvey III, president of Dewey Beach Enterprises.

{First Hours}
One of our first gifts in the hospital was this little cake and card signed by all our nurses.
The cake was the perfect post-labor breakfast the "next" morning.
I had no idea Luke had so much hair! It took me much later to pull off that little hospital cap and discover the head of hair underneath it all!
I love those first hours together when you can inspect their little feet and hands and knees and ears.... tiny little baby parts.
so precious
Evolution of a family
Here's my reality....
six kids and my prince charming.
crazy! exciting! blessed!
First Days Home
I had the opportunity to leave the hospital as soon as possible and return to my nest and my own bit of chaos.
We still had a crib to assemble and baby stuff to unearth!
I was in my final week of nesting and would have bet the house that I wouldn't go into labor early.
But maybe having a garage sale 2 days before "Labor day" was indeed a really good idea.
It certainly helped push me along in the right direction!
The boys were over the moon over baby Luke. Wanting to hold him and kiss him and snuggle him.
This little lady was more interested, at first, at all the new products showing up.
She became our unofficial tester-outer.
yep, the co-sleeper seems to be working just fine, thanks Miss S!
While these late nights and early mornings and all the hours in between are exhausting....
I am cherishing these moments and love looking down to see this sweet thing in my lap.
I still have my usual cravings...
there's a lot of this kind of thing being eaten over here.
First Week
definitely challenging on so many levels.
Mr. Crafty went back to work one week after Luke was born, well, one day short of one week.
The first day was not too shabby.
The kids went to school.
Sophia took a stellar nap.
Luke and I napped.
The kids came home and brought with them all the insanity that we have everyday after school... snacks, homework, dinner, baths, bed.
And then you have these little moments....
And you have lots of these multi-tasking moments.
Trying to squeeze in as much of life as you possibly can before bedtime.
And then I have to feed all these people?
We've been blessed by many bringing dinner by and I'm receiving some more meals in the coming weeks, thankfully.
Because mustering the energy to make dinner, organize homework, school lunches, uniforms, feed a newborn and wrangle a toddler is enough for any one person to handle in one hour or so.
Everything seems to happen at once.
So it's really great when I feel energized enough to make something homemade for dinner. It's not happening everyday. Promise.
I'm not superwoman and can't wave a wand to make things appear/disappear (but gosh, I wish those dirty dishes and ironing would disappear for awhile) quite yet.
And I'm still working with just 2 hands and 2 legs... "I'm not an OCTOPUS" I tell the kids! patience please!
all in all, these first two weeks have been grand.
exhausting, yes.
frustrating at times, yes and YES!
sometimes feeling defeated by the sheer magnitude of what needs to be accomplished before 8pm, oh heavens, YES!
And then you sit back and look and find moments like this and well, it puts it all in perspective to me.
these days are short.
Gone in the blink of an eye.
So, I'm just going to cherish the time I have to sit and watch it all enfold.
And fill my heart with thankfulness that I get to be a part of this amazing adventure God has prepared for me.

It just goes to show you that not even exceptionally beautiful people are immune from random urine-related incidents.

Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said on Sunday that the government needs to rethink its policy on capital punishment.
Speaking at the Idea Exchange programme organised by Loksatta, the Marathi newspaper of The Indian Express Group, Shinde said: We need to rethink. We (the government and Rashtrapati Bhavan) received a representation from 13-14 eminent Indian persons yesterday demanding a ban on death penalty. There should not be cruelty. They said these convicts (should) be made to serve in jail and need not be released on parole.
Shindes statement comes just days after 26/11 terror attack convict Ajmal Amir Kasab was hanged.
The Home Minister, however, added that in Kasabs case, the question of cruelty did not arise as he was part of the team that killed 166 people in Mumbai.
On the other terror convict on death row, Afzal Guru, Shinde said the home ministry had received the file on his mercy petition from Rashtrapati Bhavan yesterday.
The file has been sent to me yesterday, but I have not read it yet. We will take a decision after examining all legal angles, he said.
Shinde said there are several letters from the international community too stating that there should not be capital punishment. For many years, there has been a thought process. We need to rethink, he added.
Last week, India opposed a resolution in the UN general assembly seeking abolition of death penalty. While 110 countries supported the resolution, India, China, Pakistan, South Korea, Japan and the US were among the 39 countries which opposed it.
Will not contest polls
I do not wish to contest elections in 2014. I have got much from the Congress and reached this post. I want to retire, said Union Home Minister and veteran Congress leader Sushil Kumar Shinde, adding that he does not wish to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha either.

Species Recovery
Recovery is the ultimate goal of the endangered species program and is the process by which the decline of an endangered or threatened species is reversed and threats to its survival are reduced. The goal of this process is to restore the species to the point where it is a secure, self-sustaining part of its ecosystem and to the point that protections under the Endangered Species Act are no longer needed. This involves protecting and often restoring the habitat in which the species can thrive. Recovery actions can take many forms and our program has many aspects to reflect the diverse nature of threatened and endangered species recovery.
Recovery plans
The development of a recovery plan is one of the first steps for species recovery and is a tool to guide the recovery process and measure progress towards recovery.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is required under section 4(f)(1) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to prepare recovery plans for newly listed species, unless we determine that such a plan will not promote the conservation of the species. Recovery plans serve as road maps for species recovery - they lay out where we need to go and how best to get there.
Recovery plans are guidance documents; not regulatory documents. This means that no agency or entity is required by the ESA to implement the recovery strategy or specific actions recommended in a recovery plan. However, the ESA clearly envisions recovery plans as the central organizing tool for guiding each species' recovery process.
Recovery Plans for California and Nevada
National FWS Recovery Information
PartnershipsWorking collaboratively with our partners is a very important aspect for species recovery. We implement actions under the recovery plans that are considered necessary to recover species and their habitats.
Recovery permits
These are issued to scientists outside the Service who do research that furthers our understanding of listed species for the purposes of assisting in recovery efforts and other conservation related actions with listed species
The California and Nevada Operations issues recovery permits (as authorized under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act) to allow people to do research that furthers our understanding of listed species for the purposes of assisting in recovery efforts and other conservation related actions with listed species.
For information on how to obtain a recovery permit and to get a copy of a permit application, as well as general information about all types of permits that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issues, visit our National Fish and Wildlife Service Permit page.
We have specific Survey Protocols for some of the listed species in the CNO which should be followed when a permittee wants to establish presence or absence of the species. Please check to see if your species of interest have a survey protocol available. Survey protocols may be updated at any time, so please be sure to check back occasionally. In most cases you will still need a recovery permit before implementing a survey protocol.
We also have certain Minimum Qualifications that an applicant should meet in order to obtain a permit for some species. Please refer to the associated link above to review the minimum qualifications for working with a particular species.
For information on other types of permits that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issues for native species (such as enhancement of survival permits associated with Safe Harbor agreements and Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances, and incidental take permits associated with Habitat Conservation Plans), visit our National Permits for Native Species page.
About Five-year reviews
Under the Endangered Species Act (Act), section 4(c)(2)(A) requires that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Office (Service) conduct a status review of listed species at least once every 5 years. The review includes consideration of the following:
1. Species biology such as population trends, distribution, abundance, demographics and genetics.
2. Habitat conditions including amount, distribution and suitability.
3. Conservation measures that have been implemented that benefit the species.
4. Threat status and trends, using the same factors that were used when the Service initially listed the species.
5. Other new information, data, or corrections including taxonomic or nomenclatural changes, identification of erroneous information and improved analytical methods.
On the basis of these reviews, we recommend whether or not any species should be removed from the list (delisted), or reclassified from endangered to threatened (downlisted) or from threatened to endangered (uplisted). A recommendation to reclassify a species does not automatically result in a change in classification. Any change requires a separate formal rule-making process, including public review and comment, as defined in section 4(a) of the Act. No change in classification or protection occurs until the completion of that process. Follow this link to a table with all listed plants and animals within the Service's Pacific Southwest Region (Region 8). Clicking on the name of a species will take you to the Service's Species Profile page for that species, which has species- specific information and links to documents, including five-year reviews.

Eric's mom graciously sends us beautiful glass Christmas ornaments every year, and because we don't have a tree, I'm never sure exactly what to do with them. This year, I decided to incorporate them into a fun tablescape using two of my favorite Chanukkah presents I received from Eric this year: these CB2 Chamber Vases.
The vases themselves are very cool, and I imagine we'll be using them quite often. They have two separate chambers- a small section and a large section- which makes them ultra versatile. They can be used to hold flowers, candles, snack foods...even beautiful Christmas ornaments and leftover gift bag filler.
The table runner is actually a scarf of Eric's that we ironed and draped over our coffee table, while the (lavender scented) candle was a Homegoods impulse buy. The beautiful bird themed candelabra was a gift from my mom that we found it at a thrift store!
I wanted to keep the display pretty neutral, but you can definitely make it more holiday specific.
Want to create a similar display of your own? Here's what you'll need:
- Vases of varying heights
- Ornaments or colorful objects to fill the vases
- Tissue paper or gift bag filler
- Fabric for the runner
- Any other pretty objects of different heights and colors that you'd like to incorporate (we actually used the ornament boxes)
It was so fun and easy, I'm hoping to change up the tablescape quite often- maybe even make it a monthly thing!

Pandora caps free mobile listening as royalty costs surge
Pandora Media is imposing new monthly listening limits on its free mobile streaming music service, a measure to help the firm address mounting royalty fees.
Moving forward, Pandora--which offers music apps for platforms including Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS and Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android--will cap mobile users at 40 listening hours per month. In a blog post announcing the change, Pandora founder Tim Westergren said the new limit will impact less than 4 percent of the company's 65.6 million total monthly active users, noting the average listener spends approximately 20 hours accessing Pandora in a given month.
"That said, limiting listening is a very unusual thing to do, and very contrary to our mission so we wanted to share a quick explanation," Westergren writes. "Pandora's per-track royalty rates have increased more than 25 percent over the last three years, including 9 percent in 2013 alone and are scheduled to increase an additional 16 percent over the next two years. After a close look at our overall listening, a 40-hour-per-month mobile listening limit allows us to manage these escalating costs with minimal listener disruption."
Westergren adds that listeners who do hit the monthly limit can "[l]isten for free for as many hours as desired on desktop and laptop computers, pay $0.99 for unlimited listening for the remainder of that month, or subscribe to Pandora One for unlimited listening and no advertising." Pandora One is priced at $3.99 per month or $36 per year.
Web-based streaming music services like Pandora are subject to a different music licensing rate than traditional radio companies: Each time a user listens to a track via mobile device or the desktop, Pandora must pay a royalty fee. The Wall Street Journal reports Pandora's per-track royalties are set to increase to 0.14 cent in 2015 from 0.12 cent this year; the company is currently lobbying Congress to pass the Internet Radio Fairness Act, which would overhaul how royalties are paid to recording artists.
A Pandora spokesperson told the Journal the firm would consider removing the new mobile usage cap if mobile advertising revenues continue to improve and help balance out listener hours. Ad revenue per thousand listener hours in the company's third quarter reached $26.96 on mobile and $56.40 across devices.

Job abandonment, is anything the company decides they want it to be. Some businesses might say "no call, no show' for 3 days means the person has given up the job, some might say only 2. It is just a term people use, and if you are the business owner, you can assume anytime you want that a person has abandoned the job. In your case, you will have to change the locks and take security steps to make certain she cannot access anything in the business.
You have the right to hire and fire at will, unless there is some contract which would protect this employee and let her miss this amount of work. I doubt this is true, so you are completely in the right if you fire her.

Is the Vatican really calling for a 'World Bank'?
A few weeks ago, October 24, 2011, members of the mainstream media reported on a Vatican document. They invariably spin any document coming from the Vatican one way or the other, depending on whether or not it conforms to a liberal viewpoint. The latest episode occurred when the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace issued its ponderously titled "Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary System in the Context of Global Public Authority."
The headlines announcing "The Vatican Calls for a World Bank" misrepresented the document itself and ignored the fact that it in no way represented an authoritative statement of Church teaching. The next step in the media comment was, of course, to link the release of the document with the Occupy Wall Street movement which was just beginning to gain momentum.
Those who comment responsibly and knowledgeably on Vatican matters did what they always do — publish their corrective columns the following day, explaining how a document from a particular Vatican council should not be misrepresented by the American media as something akin to the papal encyclical. But, by then, the damage is usually done. One of these columns, however, appeared only a few days ago and deserves our attention at Catholic Advocate.Writing on his blog at the American Interest, the famed sociologist of religion Peter Berger asks, "Is the Vatican about to Occupy Wall Street?" His commentary is the work of someone in total command of the history and politics of both the Vatican and Catholics in the U.S.
Here are a few excerpts to whet your appetite to read the rest:
"Iustitia et Pax [Justice and Peace] is an agency within the Roman Curia, presently headed by an African cardinal, Peter Turkson from Ghana. It is generally regarded as a sort of leftist lobby within the complex bureaucratic labyrinth of the Curia. Its utterances are definitely not to be taken as authoritative statements of the papacy. Indeed, on the very day that this document was published, the Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi stated that the document is not a papal statement—in his words, "not an expression of papal magisterium." One may imagine that the present pope, Benedict XVI, was eager to create distance between himself and the document, which Catholics are free to disagree with. All the same, Iustitia et Pax has a significant constituency in the Catholic world, and its statements have potential consequences.
"Much in the document is not new. After every few sentences there is a reference to a papal encyclical or some other prior expression of Catholic teaching, with which the document is supposed to be in accord. (This is standard practice: The Catholic Church never admits to saying anything really new, even when it does. Each new statement is to be seen as emerging logically from a long line of previous statements.) There are some rather moderate recommendations, which have been made by others—such as taxes on financial transactions to create a "world reserve fund" for troubled economies, or special regulations for the "shadow markets" created by obscure financial instruments. But the truly novel recommendation by Iustitia et Pax is for the creation of a "supranational authority" to regulate the global economy."here—probably that the process to set up the world government should start with negotiations at the United Nations."
"But its [the Justice and Peace document] analysis of the current situation is pure neo-Marxism: All our problems are due to the financial predators headquartered on Wall Street and the "neo-liberal" intellectuals who legitimize them. There is no understanding at all of the fact that millions of people have been lifted from degrading poverty to a decent level of material life by, precisely, "neo-liberal" economic policies. As to the most novel recommendation of the document, its call for world government to be negotiated at the United Nations, this would be a grotesque disaster if it were ever successful. Fortunately, its chances of success are nil."
"The capitalist economy should not be rejected because of some predatory capitalists, any more than democracy should be rejected because of some corrupt or (in this case) foolish politicians. Iustitia et Pax can be blamed for a faulty diagnosis and a disastrous prescription. It will encourage a revival of the Catholic Left, which will do nothing to solve our current problems and only suggest solutions that would make them worse."
Read the entire article by Peter Berger here.
In addition, news out of Rome this morning gives a behind-the-scenes look at the fall out from the document being issued. The website Chiesa reports Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone had not seen the document until the eleventh hour.
In the days since the document was published, meetings have been held in the Vatican establishing a review and approval process for materials coming out of the Holy See:
"The conclusion of the summit was that this binding order would be transmitted to all of the offices of the curia: from that point on, nothing in writing would be released unless it had been inspected and authorized by the secretariat of state."
Non-Catholics and probably even a large majority of faithful Catholics do not understand the minutia of the weight behind the various type of documents issued by the Vatican. All they hear is "Vatican issues…" It appears in this case, and maybe others, there was an internal vetting process breakdown inside the Vatican.
