He was slumped over when I got back, apparently cried out. I shook him roughly.
"What's it to be, Barry? I have a couple of favorites, myself. I hope you refuse to pick one, so I can have a little fun."
He begged, he pleaded. I yawned.
"Times up, Barry. I'm gonna enjoy this, you, probably not so much."
I held up the ball bander.
"This won't hurt for long, I think. Let me know, will you? Wanna watch? Well, might be for the best."
I pulled a leather mask out of the bag and bound it to his head, leaving just his nose exposed. I replaced the castrating band with a regular heavy duty rubber band. I heard him scream when it snapped home. It would be uncomfortable, but it wouldn't do any long term damage if it was removed within twenty four hours.
I got out the bottle of pills. They were estrogen pills, left over from a hormone replacement treatment my soon to be exwife just had to have, to make her skin look younger. The worst it would do was make his nipples sore for a day or two, and maybe elevate mood swings.
I got a bottle of water out and put five pills in my hand. I unzipped the front of the mask and held his nose shut. He opened his mouth to scream and I shoved the pills in and jammed the water bottle down his throat. He gagged, he spit, but eventually he swallowed.
I was humming to myself when I heard a voice come out of the darkness.
"That's enough, dad. I think you made your point. We'll handle it from here."
All four of my children came into the light, along with one son in law and one daughter in law.
"How did you know?" I asked in surprise.
Mel laughed. "You're so predictable. I had two people on you since it started. I wanted to stop you sooner but got outvoted. They wanted to let you have a little fun. You're a scary man, do you know that? Go on home, you've got other problems to deal with. We got his."
I bowed to their wisdom and left.
I had called Sandi just after I zapped Barry, telling her I couldn't wait any longer and had to leave. I actually did have an appointment, but ran late and called to cancel. She didn't know where he could be.
He came home four hours later, Brought home by the police. He claimed he had been forced into a car, mugged, beaten, and left on the side of the road. As things played out, the police firmly believed it was a disgruntled husband, or group of husbands.
I had a half assed alibi, easily believed by the police. My wife had been passed out, and couldn't say for sure when I came home. I'll never forget her scream the next morning when she went to take a shower.
Her pubic hair had been shaved off, and an intricate tattoo was in place, proudly saying BARRY'S SLUT across her hairless mound. It wasn't a real tattoo, but one drawn on with an ink tattoo artists were experimenting with. It was guaranteed to last three months. It was used for people who weren't sure they wanted a real one. If they chickened out, the ink would wear off and no harm was done.
My daughter in law was above suspicion, she and the rest of the family were seem by many witnesses dining out at a local eatery. It hypothetically may have been done by a fellow artist who was moving out of town, and could use a little extra money. Just a wild supposition.
I was on the way out the door for a short vacation when she screamed, after leaving the photos and a no fault divorce decree on the dining room table, with a note saying sign and I would help her get set up in an apartment and pay her expenses for three months while she lined up a job, or not sign and I would leave her out in the cold after a very public divorce. She signed.
She lived across town for awhile, then met and married a man four years her junior, I guess the older man thing didn't work as well for her. They moved directly after the ceremony to Alaska. I laughed when I heard, she hates cold weather with a passion. I never asked why she decided to cheat, in fact I never actually spoke to her again. The lawyers handled everything.
Photos showed up in various mailboxes in the neighborhood. Sandi kicked Barry out, and he took off for parts unknown, just ahead of Mr. Jeffries and Mr. Grant. After the dust settled, I had Mel track him down so divorce papers could be served and child support established. I heard it's a strain for him to pay the mandated amount of support and live a decent life, but as long as he pays nobody really cares.
I unofficially adopted Sandi as another child, indeed giving her a shoulder to cry on. I talked to Mr. Oliver, and got her mortgage renegotiated. He was very sympathetic. So sympathetic that eleven months later, I kept the boys with me while they honeymooned. His wedding gift to her was the paid note on her house. The boys got a little sister two years later.
Mr. Jeffries divorced his wife, as did Mr. Grant.
Mrs. Jeffries moved across town and spent the next three years trying to reconcile. He finally started talking to her, and she moved back into the neighborhood. They have yet to remarry.
Mrs. Grant had nowhere to go, being from out of state. I saw her walking down the road with a single suitcase, crying. I felt responsible, so I took her home and put her into a spare bedroom. She took over my household, keeping it spotless. It turns out she had a good head for business, so now she runs the home office as well. I bought us a gym membership, and while I toned up she lost over a hundred pounds.
She became very attractive, men swarmed around her until she made it clear she wasn't in the market for another partner, the one she had would do just fine.
After she lost the first fifty pounds she surprised me , waking me in the middle of the night by bouncing on my bed.
"I think it passes" she said.
"Passes? What in the world are you talking about?
It took me a second to realize she was naked.
"The weight test. I've been wanting to do this forever, but was afraid the bed wouldn't support both of us. Now, move over. I always sleep on the right."
She still does.
My kids thought it was a riot when she announced at Thanksgiving dinner we were going to start a family. I tried to talk her out of it, but she said I was about six weeks too late.
I did the right thing, and married her. All four of my kids had a long talk with her about my views on fidelity. I think it may have scared her. Come to find out, her husband was cheating on her, and she was doing Barry strictly for revenge. Unfortunately, thanks to me, he had evidence and she didn't. Our daughter was born about three days before my fifth grandchild. I was ten days shy of my fifty eighth birthday. I figured it out, I'll be eighty when she graduates form college.
The kids recently had a Halloween party, and insisted we come. It was a horror themed affair. I had a fake hatchet and a hockey mask, my lovely wife dressed as Elvira, and she had the body for it. The only thing frightening about it was how sexy she was.
My daughter in law, the tattoo artist, had on a three piece suit and carried a briefcase. The other kids wanted to know who she was.
"I'm my father in law. He's the scariest man I've ever met."
She won first prize for costume.
The bull bander really does exist, but not exactly the way I described it. The neuter pills I talked about was based on an article I read about the research to develop such a drug. I don't know if it ever came to market.

You need to have the idle adjusted, which is usually done with a tune up.
miles9999 answered 3 years ago
This is a fuel injected engine. The car already had a tune up, do you have any other suggestions how to adjust the idle? Note: I have removed the number one fuel injection wire that sits on top of the cam when the motor was running, which made the zoom zoom sound go down, almost off. However, stopping and restarting the motor brings the zoom zoom sound back. It sounds like to me it could be a air or electrical relay problem somewhere. I'm pretty good with foreign car motors, but this really got me. Can you help me out?
McCUBBY answered 3 years ago
Well 1st, here is how to adjust the idle on that engine: 1) Find the throttle cable. I think it's near the back of the engine near the firewall in the center. 2) You should see an adjustment nut on the throttle cable. 3) Adjust the throttle cable adjustment nut by turning the nut clockwise or counterclockwise. For a fast idle, turn the nut counterclockwise to loosen the tension. I believe the normal tension for the throttle cable in Honda Accord from the 80's is 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch play in the center at the exposed section of the cable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My mechanic (who worked on my Honda ever since I owned it) says for you to check and see if that #1 fuel injection wire has a break it. He says it's quite possible and suggests you replace that wire. Then after that you might not have any further problems. If after all the self-checks you do that you still find a problem, then you need to get it diagnosed by your local mechanic on their garage computer and see his recommendations. I hope this helps.

Boston's own Debo Band plays a hard-driving strain of '70s Ethiopian pop music with elements of rock, funk and jazz. The 11-piece band created a huge buzz at globalFEST and SXSW this year for its "incredible energy and passion and excellence."-All Songs Considered, NPR. Next Ambiance/Sub Pop will release its hugely anticipated self-titled debut album on July 10.
Grammy-winning Latin funk orchestra Grupo Fantasma is best known for its exuberant live shows and recent association with Prince, backing him on several occasions. The 10-piece band blends classic cumbia, bolero, Latin American music, Balkan and reggae, creating "vibrant fusions that transcend easy classification." -The Wall Street Journal.

This is the obvious case of to many substandard foreign components with the classic "Made in the U.S.A." flag stickers all over it. The Led components and the circuit boards are all flawed brand new, the only thing that may actually be made at old Mr. Mags Ontario factory is probably the aluminum casting. When I was a student of Electronic Engineering we all new the importance of high quality contacts to assure proper operation. Obviously there are no American Electronic Engineers involved in this new double AA flashlight. The contacts all produce a non conductive oxide deposit when the electrical current is flowing. The components affected with the oxide are: Spring,Contacts,Circuit boards, Switch Ring. Most of you don't have a microscope to see this, but I have documented this. Hence all the issues with the light not working and the problems everyone is having with these. All the contacts in this flashlight are made out of this oxidizing metal. No amount of cleaning or shaking or solvent will ever stop the corrosion of the components. The oxide is produced through electrolysis between the reactive contact metals and the aluminum case even when it is sitting on the shelf with no batteries. When electricity is flowing non conductive oxide production is faster on the contacts. The only thing that can help this Maglite is to actually produce some of the electronics components in a factory that is not weaponizing our infrastructure with this flawed stuff. So the new AA LED Maglite is broken brand new and not worth betting your life on for sure. Sincerely, William Hayes

As many of you know, the economy has not been performing very well over these past couple of years. First of all: Sorry about that. True, it's been recovering in some areas, but the unemployment rate is still high, and a lot of average folks are poorer than ever.
There has been a lot of talk lately about the need for these average Americans to sacrifice things like medicine and health in order to save the economy. Agreed! A lot of people are trumpeting absurd notions like "stop giving the rich a free ride" and "make the rich pay their fair share of taxes" and "hands off my grandpa" as solutions to our economic woes. Let me tell you: It's ridiculous to ask the most successful and wealthy Americans to sacrifice, even if they can easily afford to, because that's like telling the winner of a prestigious pie-eating contest that he has to share his prize with everyone.
As I am the most average and least successful person I know, I have taken it upon myself to suck it up and make the hard choices. That means sacrificin', and lots of it. My hope is that by doing so, I somehow inexplicably and spontaneously rebuild America's fragile economy and save the day. At the very least, perhaps my list of personal budget cuts will inspire other derelict Americans to follow suit.
My Hunt for the Zodiac Killer
I have been quietly investigating the true identity of the Zodiac Killer in my spare time for several years now, and while I haven't made any breakthroughs, I still think I've got a shot at cracking this case wide open. Sadly, in these foreboding economic times it's no longer feasible for me to dedicate $10 a month to my investigation. I'm declaring this a cold case and pocketing the money.

David Thorpe Friendship Fee
It turns out Something Awful writer David Thorpe has been charging me $200 a month to be his friend. I don't remember agreeing to such a fee, but he's always been a shrewd, cutthroat businessman and he has my banking account info. I still think it's important to be his friend, so I was able to negotiate him down to $150 a month. He will no longer acknowledge me at parties, but that's fine since we live in different states now anyway.
I strongly urge everyone to check and see if Dave has made any such arrangements with you, because I got the impression he runs this backdoor billing scheme on a lot of people. You might be able to save some good money by lowering the quality of your friendship with Dave, if not eliminating it outright.

Savings: $7.99/month
I crunched the numbers and I'm spending upwards of $5.95 a day on food, sometimes more. Sure that $5.95 gets me five delicious things off of Arby's 5 for 5 menu, but it's still too much. I can do better.
I'm not proud, but in order to save money I have returned to using a classic ruse to procure free meals. I start by waiting outside of burger joints and sandwich shops. When someone comes out, I politely ask to see their burger or sandwich. If they comply, I quickly eat it as fast as possible. Barring a major sting operation or an undercover cop, there's no way I will ever be caught. Any evidence of a crime is destroyed by the crime itself. Even if the victim presented a receipt or bill of sale for the food item, a sandwich for example, I would simply say, "what sandwich?"

Personal Hot Dog Guy
When I was riding high on the hog, I decided to keep a hot dog vendor on retainer, so that I might avail myself of his services anytime I desired a juicy all-beef hot dog, Polish sausage or spicy bratwurst. It turns out that translated to once or twice a month, making it a remarkably poor investment. I have decided to cancel my agreement and just purchase hot dogs on an as-needed basis on days when my sandwich con proves unfruitful.
Savings: $6,000 annually
Now all that's left for me to do is mail my savings to the federal government or transnational corporation of my choosing. It wasn't easy, but I feel like I helped brighten the future of my country and perhaps restored some luster to America's reputation as a rock-solid fiscally solvent hard body.

A Sweet, Healthy Passover to you all!
This Friday marks an unusual occasion for our community and I wanted to take a moment to share a few reflections with you.
At Sundown this evening, the Jewish people celebrate and commemorate with song, story and food the narrative of our Exodus from Egypt. History and the Biblical Book of Exodus share the encounter between Moses and Pharaoh, where Moses asked for the right of Jews to worship their God in Freedom. Pharaoh famously refused, Ten Plagues descended upon Egypt, and the Jewish people were liberated from bondage. Since that time, each year, we gather to tell that story and to remind ourselves that in every generation, we are commanded to feel as if we were just liberated from slavery ourselves. This means our hearts are particularly open to the suffering of Jews and all people everywhere; and that we are meant to rededicate ourselves to bringing freedom and justice to all those not yet free.
We eat Matzah to remember the haste with which the Children of Israel left Egypt, not having enough time for bread to rise; we eat horseradish to remember the bitterness of our hard labor; we dip parsley, a symbol of the blessing of springtime and rebirth, in salt water, to remember the bitter tears of our enslavement. A delicious dish of apples, raisins, dates and nuts comprise haroset, meant to remind us the mortar we used to build Pharaoh's cities; and on the Passover Seder table is the shank bone of a lamb, to remind us the sacrificial lamb that was eaten on that last night in Egypt more than 3500 years ago. The blood from the sacrifice, used to mark the doorposts of the Jewish homes, reminded God of whom to spare when the terrible plague of death came upon the Egyptians, prompting Pharaoh to finally "let my people go."
The Sages teach, however, that any war of liberation is cause for both our own rejoicing but a humble of expression of gratitude, knowing that others had to die in order for us to be free. And how true that is today, where so many in this world continue to struggle for freedom, often at great cost to human life.
As a community we remember the Passover here in Brooklyn by building homes with Habitat for Humanity; visiting prisoners at Albion, Rikers and Bedford Hills; tutoring at John Jay High School; sleeping in homeless shelters; and so much more. We remember our history and live out its values in order to make the world a better place. That our community is made up of people from so many backgrounds, working together for ideals of friendship, love and peace is a true sign of our having our values in order! Thanks for all you do to make our community special.
This Sunday, we will be hosting Old First Reform Church for their Easter Service--returning the favor to Rev Daniel Meeter and his community for graciously hosting us since 2009 while our ceiling was under repair. As many of you know, this past September Old First had a ceiling collapse and so they will now make their special holiday home at CBE while they undergo repair. Our inter-religious friendship and devotion to one another is a great neighborhood story and we are proud to practice this special mitzvah of hospitality for our friends.
In our community, we are blessed with so many members and staff of CBE, working together to honor our traditions and to be reminded that ultimately, there is more that unites us than divides us; and that our diversity of belief and practice is a strength and source of celebration in our world.
For those members of our CBE community who celebrate Passover, Hag Sameach and Happy Passover! And to those members of our CBE community who celebrate Easter, Happy Easter! May each of you and your loved ones be blessed in the year ahead; may you be renewed in this spring of rebirth; and may you all know goodness, kindness and peace.
Rabbi Andy Bachman

This piece is for Magpie Tales (that supplied the prompt) and follows on from my Magpies 32, 31 and 29 that you can find by clicking my blog title above. Hope you enjoy...
April dazily opened her eyes and looked out the window to the unfamiliar places and people. The small clock in the car read 3.47PM and she relaxed at the gentle smile of her husband, Jeremy.
"Afternoon gorgeous," he said softly as he stared ahead out the windscreen, occasionally glancing at her tired face.
"Wow," she said, "how long have I been sleeping?"
"Just a few hours," he said, "we're almost there. I'd say about half an hour." April nodded but her heart leaped. Her stomach dropped and freaked out at the thought of meeting with this person after two years. If Jeremy had taught her anything in the time she'd known him it was who to trust under their circumstances. This was the only person.
They both felt unsteady when they stepped out of the car and onto the pavement after the long drive. They'd stopped at a lonely, isolated deli to grab something to eat and drink once, but only once. And when he'd gone in and seen the paper he kept his head down, being careful to not make eyecontact with the old lady reading her own copy of the paper.
"That's seven fifty," she said, holding out a frail hand with her eyes not leaving her newspaper. Jeremy had placed a ten dollar note in her hand and quickly left. He shouldn't have even worried though; It took her long enough to realise he'd given too much, let alone get a look at his face and match him to the face on the front of the newspaper.
But now, at their final destination, hard ground once again beneath them they slowly made their way to the front door.
Three quick knocks on the door with a sweet 'Welcome' sign. Although they hardly showed it the two of them were nervous, they were scared. This was the one person that had always been by their sides, one person they could always trust-no matter what. So why were they nervous? Were they scared it would ruin the trust, that this person had changed. Jeremy thought not. This person was unique, forgave the right people. He'd known this person long, the trust couldn't be broken. They heard a key in the door and the twisting of the knob until it was pulled right open.
Her face lit up, her long hair messily draped over her shoulders. She looked them both up and down until she fixed her eyes on Jeremy. That was when he saw it. He knew she was glad he was here. She would take them in. It would be alright.
She hushed them quickly inside and then hugged him as tightly as she could.
"You mischief maker, I missed you."
She turned to April and hugged her too. She'd taken a quick liking to April two years ago when they'd met.
"Paulie, you've seen the paper?" he asked.
"It's great to see you too," she said, "anyone up for tea." He smiled at the way she took nothing seriously. As far back as he could remember she never had. When neither of them replied she turned back to face them.
"We'll talk about it over some tea," Paulie said in an insisting voice. And with that she turned back around and walked to the kitchen.
"You don't know how much I've missed you," she said as she put on the noisy kettle.
"All the same here," Jeremy said.
"Well, tell me," she said, "tell me how on earth you two did so well for two years."
April sat on a cushioned stool by the bench and Jeremy joined her on one next to her.
"Okay yes, we've got you to thank," he said. She falsely acted flattered.
"The cottage was okay then?"
"It was lovely," April spoke for the first time since arriving, "It was such a shame we had to leave."
"Yes," Paulie said. She reached up to a cupboard and pulled out three mugs.
After the tea was made they all sat down in the lounge.
"So yes," Paulie said suddenly, and softly, "I saw the paper this morning." They all seemed to sit there quietly. Unsure of how to go on. Unsure of what to say.
"The whole country's on a lookout for you now," she said, "they know your faces." Their stomachs turned and April pushed away her tea onto the coffee table.
"And I'm sorry but I don't know what to do," she said, "But you can stay here as long as you need to."
"Thankyou," Jeremy replied.
"I'm just sorry I can't help more."
After dinner April, still extremely tired and her body taken over probably more by anxiety than anything decided on an early night. After reading for a while Paulie went to bed as well and it was 2 the next morning when April woke again. The other side of the bed was unthouched, neat. She slipped out of the bed and opened the door to the pitch black hall. At the end of the hall there was a faint light and she walked slowly towards it, feeling the walls either side of herself. When she reached the end of the hall she ended up at the lounge room.
There Jeremy sat on Paulie's vintage couch. A lamp above him shining brightly on his dreaming mind. A book lay open on his chest. She smiled at her husband despite anxiety running right through her. She sat beside him and lay her head on his shoulder. He woke, startled.
"I'm sorry," she said guiltily, "I didn't mean to wake you."
"It's okay," he said smiling, looking right into her eyes.
She sighed, "What are we going to do?"
"I dont know," he said as he put his arm around her, letting her head sit on his shoulder. They both sat there in silence, both thinking. Despite being searched for by the country they tried to enjoy the moment that was as close to perfect as they would get for a while.
They both felt the heat from the lamp above them and tried hard to see light of the situation.

What do you think Zel Robinson (Seely's mother) means by her statement, "I've finally made it out of the hills and hollows to where I can see daylight . . . I never thought I'd live to see the day." Fanny Tyson replies, "Zel, I hope the day never comes when you regret it." Make some predictions. What could possibly happen to make Zel regret leaving the hills and hollows of Green County and moving to the city? Record your predictions to review after you finish this book. Were they correct, different?
2. Mrs. Robinson seems fearful of life in the "city" for her children. Consequently we find in the opening chapters that she forbids them to leave the house without her permission. Compare Seely's and Robert's situation to your own in freedom or lack of freedom to come...

Angel Hair Pasta Soup
Check Out: Stir-fried Egg Noodles Recipe
Cooking for one can be quite a hassle, so I usually have to settle for "fast food" like takeaway, instant noodles or a bowl of museli with milk. It's not that I hate instant noodles or fast food, I love them. But sometimes I do like the idea of cooking for one. So this is one of my "fast-to-cook-and-good-to-eat" meals when I'm home alone. And it's almost a non-recipe. Very fast, delicious and you can clear whatever ingredients (such as yong tau foo, frozen dumplings, dried seaweed, meat balls, leftover roast meat) you have in the fridge. The trick for me is to use angel hair pasta which is to me, like the western version of our local bee hoon (rice vermicelli) with its long thin strands of noodles. They usually cook in 2 minutes, just like instant noodles. My pantry, for this reason, is always well-stocked with angel hair.

15-Minute Angel Hair Pasta Soup Recipe
This is a great recipe for clearing whatever ingredients any leftover ingredients in the fridge.
Serves: 1
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
- 1 serving (about 80 grams) angel hair pasta (Capelli d'angelo)
- any ingredients you have in the fridge (for me, pacific clams baby bok choy)
- water and salt to cook the pasta
- 300ml home made soup stock (or cheat with plain water and seasoning cube)
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Then add angel hair pasta and cook according to the package instructions (usually 2 minutes). Drain the pasta and set in a soup bowl.
- Add soup stock to another soup pot. Bring to the boil. Blanch whatever ingredients you have in the soup stock until cooked (for my clams - 30 seconds; veg - 10 seconds). Most ingredients will cook in under 2 minutes.
- Pour the boiling soup and ingredients over the angel hair pasta. Garnish with sliced spring onions, chilli padi and/or fried shallots.

Lovely soup, Wiffy!
Delicious looking noodle dish. I would never have thought of using angel hair pasta this way. But then again I seldom buy this type of pasta as we usually like our pasta to be slightly thicker.
That's the beauty of angel hair pasta! it cooks super quick and healtier than instant noodles. A coincidence is that I have 1 packet of angel hair pasta and I do like your soupy way of preparing! =) I might have mine with garlic and chili though! hehee
I love angel hair pasta! What a good idea to use it in soup. You have the best ideas!
Fast food that is actually good for you!
Once again, this reminds me of home. Mee sua that you've also listed. I remember eating it with two hard boiled eggs to celebrate my Chinese birthday of the lunar calendar for longevity. We stopped practising it years ago.. an alternative to soup base could be dried anchovies (ikan bilis). Sometimes i throw in tofu and mushrooms :)
This is good stuff! I just made my own for lunch with celery and green pepper (what I had). Thanks for the great idea!
I am bookmarking it.
Thank you so much for keeping it simple. I don't feel well and need chicken noodle soup asap.

Feeding America Urges Bipartisan Efforts to Help Feed the Nation's Hungry as Election Season Ends
Nov 07, 2012, 15:04 ET from Feeding America
CHICAGO, Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Statement Attributable to Matt Knott, Interim President and CEO of Feeding America: "Now that the elections are over, our elected officials will be making decisions about the important issues facing our nation, both in the next few months and the new Congress. We urge Congress and President Obama to work together to find solutions that maintain Washington's historic and bipartisan commitment to protect nutrition programs that serve low-income families.
"We understand Congress has a big and urgent challenge at hand, to balance the budget. As they tackle that challenge, it is so important to remember that the budget should not be balanced on the backs of the poor who are not benefiting as the economy recovers ever so slowly.
"Nearly 50 million food insecure Americans have to make tough choices every day about how to make ends meet and ensure they have enough to eat while paying for other basic needs like rent or utilities. While the Administration and the Congress have many tough choices that they will be making, one choice is easy—ensuring that we move forward, not backward, in the fight to end hunger. Protecting and strengthening the nutrition safety net that serves vulnerable, low-income families, children and seniors is something that we can all agree on."

Baked on Monday - Blondies
Happy Labour Day to you lovely bloggers in Canada and the U.S. It's a rainy day here in Vancouver, so it's perfect for staying indoors baking, eating and watching "Bell Book and Candle" (though I really should be working).
Today's treat is a good old fashioned Blondie. Perfect with coffee, which we'll drink lots of today.
Blondies - makes one 8"x8" pan (about 16 squares)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chocolate pieces (optional, but why would you not opt for chocolate?)
Preheat oven to 350f/180c. Grease an 8x8 baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream softened butter with an electric mixer, or wooden spoon, then beat in the brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until fluffy.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture, then stir in walnuts. Spread the batter in the greased pan. Sprinkle the chocolate bits (if you opted for chocolate, but again, why wouldn't you?), evenly over the dough and press down slightly with a spatula.
Bake the blondies in the centre of the oven for about 25 minutes, or until they have started to pull, very slightly, away from the edges of the pan. Cool in the pan, on a wire rack, before devouring.
These will keep, at room temperature, for several days or several weeks in the refrigerator. But they probably won't be around for that long ;)
Have a lovely day! Back again soon.

Description First..THANKS to Rachel for the tutorial! It worked like a charm...and this is my first project using it. I really appreciate your kindness to share with everyone. I just can not seem to stop scrapping since just after Christmas. This is my grandson, Jesse, in '07. My daughter had just sold a car, and the person paid in cash...well...we just had to see what he would do with it. I actually did this picture in one of his paper scrap books too. But I could be more creative with it this way. |

Yahoo and Facebook agreed on Friday to settle a legal fight over their patent holdings, ending what was shaping up to be one of the nastier court battles in Silicon Valley in recent memory.
Under the terms of the pact, the two companies will expand an existing partnership, including a deeper integration of Facebook's tools into Yahoo's content pages.
The two companies have also agreed to cross-license all their patent holdings, which would keep either side from suing the other over intellectual property issues in the future, a person close to one of the companies said.
What the agreement does not include is any sort of cash payout by Facebook, a win for the company.
The pact is intended to heal a rift between two companies that less than a year ago had begun an extensive collaboration. As part of the agreement, Yahoo and Facebook have agreed to work together to promote big events, hoping to draw increased advertising revenue.
''We are looking forward to building on the success we have already seen to provide innovative new products and experiences for both consumers and sponsors,'' Ross B. Levinsohn, Yahoo's interim chief executive, said in a statement. ''Combining the premium content and reach of Yahoo as the world's leading digital media company with Facebook provides branded advertisers with unmatched opportunity.''
Patents have increasingly become a focal point as companies like Apple and Eastman Kodak have turned to suing rivals over intellectual property claims. But such moves are often frowned upon within Silicon Valley. Yahoo took many by surprise earlier this year when it threatened to sue Facebook, claiming that it had violated some of its oldest Web technologies. Yahoo filed suit in March, citing 10 patents in particular.
Several technology commentators criticized Yahoo as a ''patent troll'' that was simply seeking a big payday.
Analysts also expressed surprise, given that Yahoo's use of Facebook tools appeared to have improved its own business. Integrating Facebook's news activity feature into Yahoo pages, for instance, tripled Yahoo's traffic from Facebook between September and December of 2011.
At the time, Yahoo argued that it was simply trying to protect its intellectual property.
Facebook countersued in April, claiming that Yahoo had breached some of its own patents, some of which the company had purchased.
Yahoo's original legal campaign was masterminded by Scott Thompson, then the company's chief executive. The lawsuit was filed at a particularly delicate time for Facebook: about two months before the company was set to go public.
In 2003, Yahoo acquired Overture, a search advertising technology company that had sued Google over patent issues. Yahoo settled the fight the next year, collecting 2.7 million shares from Google before the search giant went public.
But Facebook was prepared to wage a long and costly fight to protect itself against Yahoo's lawsuit, people close to the company have said.
Settlement talks began shortly after the resignation of Mr. Thompson in May, following the revelation that his academic credentials had been misstated. Soon after becoming interim chief executive, Mr. Levinsohn contacted Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer, to begin negotiating a truce, according to people briefed on the matter.
Among Mr. Levinsohn's concerns was that the patent fight was a distraction from the company's focus on turning itself around, these people said.
The two sides spent several weeks working on the outlines of a potential agreement, including at the sidelines of the AllThingsD conference in May, these people said.
On Friday, Yahoo's board - including directors who previously supported the company's lawsuit - unanimously approved the settlement, one of the people briefed on the matter said.
''I'm pleased that we were able to resolve this in a positive manner and look forward to partnering closely with Ross and the leadership at Yahoo,'' Ms. Sandberg said in a statement.
''Together, we can provide users with engaging social experiences while creating value for marketers.''
Shares of Yahoo dipped slightly on Friday, to $15.78, while those of Facebook rose nearly 1 percent, to $31.73.
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

Operation Able Archer: Were the United States and the Soviet Union on the brink of nuclear war?
Dear Cecil:
Exactly what was the deal with Operation Able Archer? I was right smack in the middle of that whole thing (as a soldier stationed in Germany), but I still don't know what exactly happened except that a number of history books hint that we were actually closer to war in October 1983 than we were during the Cuban missile crisis.
It's a stretch to say we were closer. The Cuban missile crisis was a real showdown over a real issue, and many on both sides feared--and a few hawks hoped--that the confrontation would end in war. In contrast, the Able Archer incident (the pivotal moment came in November, incidentally, not October) was mainly a manifestation of Soviet jitters during the regime's twilight years. U.S. officials didn't know anything was up at first and were surprised to learn of the frantic atmosphere in Moscow. Still, the possibility that the world would be vaporized over a misunderstanding was a constant fear during the cold war (I won't claim the threat has entirely subsided now), and in 1983 we drifted closer to the edge than one likes to think.
According to a 1997 CIA analysis by Benjamin Fischer, the incident had its roots in Soviet anxiety over the U.S. defense buildup that began during the Carter administration. The Russians knew they couldn't compete and feared they would soon be outgunned. Possibly they were also spooked by stepped-up probes of their early-warning intelligence system and other mind games played by the American military starting shortly after Ronald Reagan took office. Whatever the impetus, Soviet leaders persuaded themselves that the U.S. was planning a sneak nuclear attack and in 1981 ordered their spies to look for evidence in an effort incongruously code-named RYAN, the Russian acronym for "nuclear missile attack."
Soviet nervousness ratcheted up a couple notches in February 1983 as the U.S. prepared to deploy next-generation Pershing II nuclear missiles in West Germany, just a few minutes' flight from the Soviet Union. In March, Reagan denounced the USSR as an "evil empire" and shortly afterward announced the "Star Wars" missile-defense initiative. This was supposed to make the U.S. invulnerable to Russian nukes, the mere thought of which freaked the Soviets. In September the Soviet military, under pressure from higher-ups for responding lackadaisically to U.S. incursions, shot down Korean Air Lines flight 007, which had strayed into Russian airspace and been misidentified as a spy plane; all 269 aboard were killed. The U.S. condemned the attack as evidence of Soviet barbarism. Russian leaders, by now thoroughly paranoid, argued (and to some extent may have believed) that the incident was a purposeful provocation and declared that accommodation with the U.S. was impossible. Further complicating matters in October were the U.S. invasion of Grenada and the suicide bombing that killed 241 American military personnel in Lebanon.
With tensions at code-red levels, in the USSR especially, NATO in early November launched its annual military exercise. Called Able Archer 83, that year's version involved an unusually realistic buildup to a simulated U.S. nuclear strike. The Soviets knew about Able Archer but wondered if something else was afoot, having long planned to use war games as a cover for the real thing themselves and suspecting the U.S. might do likewise. On the evening of November 8 or 9 Moscow reportedly sent a flash telegram to its western European outposts claiming the U.S. had put its forces on alert and was possibly preparing to attack (we hadn't and weren't, Western sources agree) and asking for confirmation.
Meanwhile the Soviets readied their own defenses. The most dramatic press account I've seen has Russian fighter-bombers sitting on the runways at peak alert with their engines revving and their nuclear weapons primed. Learning of Moscow's panic, U.S. national security adviser Robert McFarlane decides on his own to scrap a part of Able Archer that calls for Reagan and other officials to disappear (I guess into bunkers) and instead arranges for the president to be seen in public, reassuring the Russians and defusing the crisis. Good story, but I can find no corroboration of the details and think they're partly a garbled version of events and partly fantasy.
The truth (for now) appears to be that the Russians raised the alert status of a dozen nuclear fighter-bombers but presumably had them stand down later when no further reports of suspicious U.S. activity emerged. U.S. officials knew nothing of Soviet fears and found out only after the fact following a report from a Russian double agent in London. Some contend that when word finally did reach the White House, Reagan was dismayed to learn the Russians thought him capable of precipitating Armageddon and adopted a more conciliatory approach. Our side doesn't come off blameless; clearly we had been goading the Soviets. Still, the guys who came closest to pushing the button were the frightened old Bolsheviks running the USSR.

Kahlua-Coffee Ice Cream Dream Cake

This is PERFECT for a party I'm helping with on Friday...but, could it be made with real whipped cream? In advance? Beautiful though it is, I am not a huge fan of the taste of CW (I know, blasphemy!)
Thanks!How long before I serve this do I have to take it out of the freezer? Can't wait for the reviews from my Bunko girls! Thanks!

fj60-62 with a 6.2 diesel!????
I have this 6.2 diesel sittin in my garage that I'm trying to find an application for. The wifey wants a four door suv, so I thought well they make kits to swap in a 350 with a 700r4 so why not just do the 6.2 instead??
from the research I've done there is a bellhousing adapter that goes to the factory auto in the fj62. Would this slushbox be able to handle the tourqe?? "maybe with a different converter"?? If it would be better to go with a 700r4 would there be a better year or model to do this swap?? "read the wife likes the one with the round headlights 60series" Would this diesel block be too much weight??

I think the 6.2 is well suited for the 60/62.
Here's my conversion; http://home.earthlink.net/~joemama1/LC.html I personally don't care for auto trannys behind diesels. Do a search for "Marks Adapters". you might come up with ideas. People converting to Toyota diesels from gas here in the US have ordered rebuilt A442's from Austrailia and have said they are better suited to the torque curve and work better than gas version A440's. Seems costly though. Not everyone with a 700R4 behind a diesel is pleased. There were some durability problems with 700R4's behind diesels until about 1990 or 1991. The 6.2 only weighs 40 more lbs than the Toy 6 cyl. You get extra weight up front with the extra battery and if you use the older A/C compressor.

How do you remove cyanide from water?
Cyanide is a very toxic material. Generated mainly by industrial manufacturing processes, this anion can cause neurological effects and damage to sensitive tissues such as the thyroid gland.
Treatment with chlorine gas in basic solution effectively destroys any cyanide present by converting it to harmless nitrogen gas. The reaction is as follows:
\begin{align*}2 \text{NaCN}+5 \text{Cl}_2 +12 \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{N}_2 + 2\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 + 10\text{NaCl} + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}\end{align*}
Half-Reaction Method in Basic Solution
For reactions that occur in basic solution rather than acidic solution, the steps to balance the reaction are primarily the same. However, after finishing step 6, add an equal number of OH− ions to both sides of the equation. Combine the H+ and OH− to make H2O and cancel out any water molecules that appear on both sides. Using the example of the oxidation of Fe2+ ions by dichromate (Cr2O72-), we would get the following three steps:
1. Adding the hydroxide ions
\begin{align*}14\text{OH}^-(aq)+14\text{H}^+(aq)+6\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)+\text{Cr}_2\text{O}^{2-}_7(aq) \rightarrow 6\text{Fe}^{3+}+2\text{Cr}^{3+}(aq)+7\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)+14\text{OH}^-(aq)\end{align*}
2. Combining the hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions to make water
\begin{align*}14\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)+6\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)+\text{Cr}_2\text{O}^{2-}_7(aq) \rightarrow 6\text{Fe}^{3+}+2\text{Cr}^{3+}(aq)+7\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)+14\text{OH}^-(aq)\end{align*}
3. Canceling out seven water molecules from both sides to get the final equation
\begin{align*}7\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)+6\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)+\text{Cr}_2\text{O}^{2-}_7(aq) \rightarrow 6\text{Fe}^{3+}+2\text{Cr}^{3+}(aq)+14\text{OH}^-(aq)\end{align*}
The equation is still balanced by atoms and by charge, but the presence of hydroxide ions rather than hydrogen ions means that the reaction takes place in basic solution. Typically, most redox reactions will actually only proceed in one type of solution or the other. The oxidation of Fe2+ by Cr2O72− does not occur in basic solution, and was only balanced this way to demonstrate the method.
In summary, the choice of which balancing method to use depends on the kind of reaction. The oxidation-number method works best if the oxidized and reduced species appear only once on each side of the equation and if no acids or bases are present. The half-reaction method is more versatile and works well for reactions involving ions in aqueous solution.
- How many OH- should be added to each side?
- When does the oxidation-number approach work best?
- When does the half-reaction method work best?

While at lunch today, I was talking with a friend whose has had her own consulting business for over 20 years. We were in the midst of sharing ideas and getting caught up when, I heard another one. Another story of a woman who had been dinged in her career for being "too" professional, well I guess essentially for not opening up.
And that's the point. While Scott's instruction conveys the fundamentals of the Dunham technique -- which integrates African and Caribbean movement with modern-dance and ballet technique -- his ultimate goal is to impart life skills. His purpose is to use dance as a vehicle to teach kids about discipline, professionalism and success.
I'm a big fan of reality tv. There, I said it. Shame on me. I love nothing more than to be sucked into the relentless drama of the human race, captured in minute, ridiculously over-the-top egotistical fashion. Me, me, me. I, I, I. Everyone for themselves. Survival of the fittest. Kill or be killed. I love it.

Want to feel like royalty - stay here....especially in the Winter - you'd be hard pressed to find anyplace more beautiful
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We booked at short notice for a one night stopover to enable easy and early access the following date to Malpensa.
The hotel is a classic old world building (Chateau) with a modern makeover. I would recommend to anyone.
Varese a great place to visit and this Hotel is about 4 klms from center of town.
Only disapointment was that we weren't able to stay longer.

Description | BOINCprog keeps track of the progress of the current WU being crunched. Updates are made every 5 seconds. Supports multiple projects and can act as a KDE/Gnome tray applet. For single-CPU-used systems only. This works nicely for local installations and NFS mounts. Using this with an SMB mount will likely result in the dreaded state -109 error due to the way Samba handles the mount. Version 1.1.5 fixes incorrect termination of the app when not operating as a KDE applet. Also added ability to disable BOINCprog splash screen.

questions to financial aid advisors; a glossary of financial aid
terms; calculation tools for determining how much your family will be
asked to contribute to college expenses; and how much aid you'll need.

including sources of scholarships/fellowships, grants, loans, and
tuition payment plans. Links are further cataloged according to
special interest grousp (i.e., students with disabilities, students

this extensive site would probably be Mark's Picks, a selection of the
best/most popular financial aid sites.

demystify the process for you. The FAQ offers advice and warnings, and
also has sections for foreign students and the issue of the taxability
of financial aid.

aid offices, government resources, links to search services and much,
much more. If you (or your kid) is in college or about to be, you
probably can't afford to not visit this site.
Page 97. Financial Aid Information. "Mark Kantrowitz is the
co-author of the Prentice Hall Guide to Scholarships and
Fellowships for Math and Science Students; he knows whereof he links."
Financial Aid Information
"This site contains numerous resources for new and returning students looking
for financial aid information. Located at Carnegie-Mellon University, this
site has a variety of resources, including a FAQ, bibliography, related
mailing lists, and phone numbers of financial aid organizations, as well as
extensive lists of scholarships, grants, and loans. Also helpful is the
scam alert area, which educates users about false claims and bogus student
aid offers."
Buddy Can You Spare a College Education?
"Were it not for financial aid programs (or deep pockets from Mom
and Dad), a college education would be only a dream to many. Here's a
site that's making it easier for the college-bound of today to become
the college grads of tomorrow.
Helping to cut through the bureaucratic red tape, the Financial Aid
Information page will answer many of the questions needy students have
about the application process, loan information, loan alternatives,
and much more. This site is also great for financial aid
administrators who need to keep abreast of the latest aid information."
Pages 202-203. The FinAid® Page. "If it's time for
college, it's time for this page. You can find a lender, get in touch
with your school's financial aid office, compare options, read the
regulations, and use some nifty software to calculate just how much
you'll be in debt for when school's over."
