Blueberry cookies: a simple recipe
Cook Time
An easy and delicious recipe for cookies that melt in your mouth
These easy blueberry cookies will melt in your mouth, and are quick and simple to make using a basic cookie dough.
The recipe below will make around 25 cookies, depending on how large you make them - and how much cookie dough gets eaten before the cookies get to the oven!
- 4 oz (115 grams) butter at room temperature
- 6 oz (175 grams) soft brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 egg
- 8 oz (225 grams) plain flour
- 1 level tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 3.5 oz (100 grams) fresh or frozen blueberries
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C, or 150 degrees for a fan oven.
- Grease 2 large baking trays with a little butter
- Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla essence in a large mixing bowl
- break the egg into the bowl and beat into the mixture until it is an even texture
- sieve in the flour and bicarbonate of soda
- beat with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and you have a soft dough
- stir in the blueberries
- spoon heaped teaspoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking trays, giving them a couple of inches between each one, as they spread quite a bit when cooking
- bake for 10-12 minutes until they are just starting to turn golden brown at the edges
- allow to cool for a couple of minutes then, using a spatula, lift from the trays onto a wire cooling rack
Try to leave them alone for long enough to cool down. They will become crispier as they cool, and can be stored in an airtight container for a few days. The mixture freezes very well if you want to make a larger batch. I love these made with my home grown blueberries, but the basic dough can be adapted to suit your tastes with different fruit, chocolate chunks or nuts perhaps.
How cool - I've never heard of blueberry cookies. I'm bookmarking this hub and will try these out over the holidays. I love blueberries!
I have never thought of making a blueberry cookie. This seems incredibly easy to make. This will be bookmarked as a recipe for my daughter and I to try when she comes home from college. Thank you for sharing.
I love this sort of cookies. Blueberries makes these cookies special. Voted up!
IF: I have never had a blueberry cookie... never even thought about it... I will try this out this weekend! Voted up and Awesome!
Sounds delicious, I'll have to give this a try. Have you noticed how many artificial blueberries are on the market now? I assume it is the same in the UK as here in the States but business doesn't even bother to put real berries in muffins, batters and etc etc. What a disgrace!
You're right in your bio, home grown is almost the only way to get quality and avoid Frankenfoods
Thanks for this recipe, it sounds so tasty! It is time for blueberries here now so this came very timely!
These sound good never heard of blueberry cookies.
Nice recipe for cookies! Vote up!
By the way, I'll whare with you my recipe for soup ZUR ;-) It is so tasty!

SCROOGE AWARD TO GREENBERG TRAURIG For Euchring FLORIDA COURT CLERK'S ASSOCIATION re: GAY MARRIAGE
Fred W. Baggett
Tallahassee Managing Shareholder
Direct: +1 850.425.8512
101 East College Avenue
Tallahassee, FL 32301

SEAN HUDSON, Director of Administrative and Members Services, Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers
SCROOGE AWARD TO GREENBERG TRAURIG For Euchring FLORIDA COURT CLERK'S ASSOCIATION
Florida's court clerks and judges are shaking their heads at "legal advice" that they could be prosecuted for marrying Gay or Lesbian couples on or after January 6, 2015.
The "advice" says that federal court orders don't control state government officials unless less there is a final order of the U.S. Supreme Court.
The 2015 SCROOGE AWARD goes to the international corporate lw firm of GREENBERG TRAURIG and the FLORIDA COURT CLERKS ASSOCIATION
The Scrooge in this case is convicted corrupt Washington, D.C. lobbyist JACK ABRAMOFF's former corporate law firm, GREENBERG TRAURIG, with 1800 lawyers in 30 offices worldwide.
Its Tallahassee Managing Shareholder FRED BAGGETT's cabined Gay marriage legal advice says in part:
"Clerks who are not named defendants in the litigation would not technically be bound by a decision of the Northern District of Florida, or by the circuit courts. While such Clerks might feel public pressure to follow the guidance of the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction (but no precedential authority), Florida's same-sex marriage ban would still be in place unless they were named parties in one of the lawsuits striking the ban. Thus, issuing same-sex marriage licenses would place them at risk of criminal violation of Florida's same-sex marriage ban – if and until the ban is invalidated by a Florida district court of appeal (absent inter-district conflict), the Florida Supreme Court, or the U.S. Supreme Court."
….While we recognize that there is case law suggesting that a government official may abide by an order of a federal district court issued in a case to which he or she was not a party, we have uncovered no case law stating that a non-party official, or any other non-party, is bound by such order.
…. Also, we do not believe any clerk other than the Washington County Clerk would be clearly protected by the preemptive effect of the Order from criminal prosecution in another court. As set forth below, the greater weight of authority shows that the Order is not (sic) binding precedent on any other court.
….. Thus, we remain of the opinion that clerks of court who were not parties to the Northern District case are not bound by Judge Hinkle's Order – or protected by it. Clerks are subject to Florida's criminal penalties for the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Until such time as there is a binding appellate ruling (see footnote 3, supra), we are constrained to advise that despite the Order, clerks remain exposed to Florida's apparently unique criminalization of the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples."
The GREENBERG TRAURIG memo did NOT address the constitutionality of the Florida misdemeanor statute, effective January 1, 1999 in the "Florida Defense of Marriage Act." Not at all. It merely used that unconstitutional law as a shillelagh, and legal jargon as a shibboleth, as if to threaten 66 Florida court clerks with criminal prosecution and imprisonment for marrying Gay couples after the eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals stay dissolves on January 5, 2015.
For that reason, we hereby confer the 2014 EBENEEZER SCROOGE AWARD to the inter nation al corporate law firm of GREENBERG TRAURIG for euchring the FLORIDA COURT CLERKS ASSOCIATION, for standing in the courthouse door and keeping court clerks in fear of granting wedding licenses to Gay and lesbian couples.
Florida's Court Clerks and Comptrollers Association spokesman SEAN HUDSON refused to make GREENBERG TRAURIG available to answer questions, or to himself answer, questions about the "legal adivce" or the association's legal billing and relationship with GREENBERG TRAURIG, claiming it is:
(1) a matter of attorney-client privilege (No. There is no privilege for legal bills or for government attorneys, the Florida Attorney General).
(2) a "private" group (No. Funded 100% by taxpayers and a government contractornwhose records are covered by Flrida[s
Non-lawyer SEAN HUDSON actually laughed at me, e.g, when I asked to speak to bis boss and asked that he page him. ("We don't have pagers," the hobbledehoy snorted).
The Florida clerk's association also doesn't have independent or competent legal counsel.
No one picked up the telephone and talked to any actual prosecutor to see if anyone, anywhere would prosecute.
Any real lawyer would have called prosecutors and learned they won't prosecute. No Florida State's Attorney would do so.
End of story.
GREENBERG TRAURIG lawyer-lobbyists instead decided to make court clerks afraid, very afraid.
Like a page from Dick Cheney's book: Be afraid, be very afraid.
There's money in making your clients fearful, as JACK ABRAMOFF proved.
How gauche and louche.
GREENBERG TRAURIG emitted an academic ukase, one unworthy of even any run-of-mine uninformed former law review editor or ex-military lawyer (or both) rather than insight based on wisdom and experience.
The clerk's association doesn't have competent or compassionate public relations advice, it has sibilant SEAN HUDSON, who lacks a lick of sense.
Imagine saying the Florida court clerk's association is "private."
How totally, tediously Tallahassee.
Our four clerks, 67 elected officials, safeguard and spend our tax money, and it is "private?"
St. Johns County Clerk of Courts Cheryl Strickland wants to know the answers too, and she supports our Right to Know.
It is at bat an appearance of impropriety for Florida court clerks' association to continue to employ a gigantic globe-girdling cartel law firm, JACK AMRRAMOFF"s former emplayer, to obtain bad legal advice and refuse to disclose particulars.
GREENBERG TRAURIG should be fired by the Florida Association of Court Clerks and Comptrollers.
GREENBERG TRAURIG has too many wealthy, powerful and secretive clients who appear before Florida courts for it to represent the court clerks, too.
It is an appearance of impropriety.
Court clerks should never have hired GREENBERG TRAURIG.
Like taking ants to a picnic.
Like taking a barrel of snakes to a Christmas party.
Like inviting an Iranian ayatollah to a Menorah lighting ceremony.
Or in the words of Henry Kissinger after a bad referee call at a Washington, D.C. football game: "ON VOT THEORY"!"
Let the court clerks association kindly hire a lawyer or law firm that works for them, and for We the People, not for one-percenters, evildoers, polluters and corporate criminals.
On January 6, 2015, the Supreme Court having denied today the stay sought by thrice-married Florida Attorney General PAMELA JO BONDI, Gays and Lesbians will marry in Florida.
On that day -- Twelfth Night, the favorite holiday of my late friends Sean Patrick O'Casey and Robin Nadeau -- history will be made.
On that day, I hope that our independent-minded, intelligent, ethical St. Johns County Clerk of Courts Cheryl Strickland will feel empowered to marry same-sex couples, advised by real lawyers (not tendentious Tallahassee-based GREENBERG TRAURIG lobbyists).
We know that County Attorney Patrick McCormack, or any other lawyer she will consult, will want to call State's Attorney Ralph Joseph Larizza and learn that he will not prosecute court clerks for marrying Gay couples.
St. Johns County Clerk of Courts
(Has own lawyers, does not need GREENBERG TRAURIG to instruct her on how to do her job, thank you!)

I think that I once mentioned that orange is one of my least favorite colors. I never wear it, and I rarely do artwork with it. I think that it is because it's a throwback to the popularity of the rusts and oranges that were so popular in the 70's. Do you remember those days? In any case, I do love it in two places. In Fall decor, and in the garden wherever I think I need a real pop of color. Come on now, you didn't really think a week would go by without some mention of the garden, now did you??
Do you remember in this post where I talked about the wild adventure my husband and I had digging out wild daylilies from the abandoned farmhouse down the road? Well, patience is everything, my friends!
The first one bloomed this week,
with many more buds on the clump
(this is one of three clumps that we smuggled out
and brought over here).
A close-up of the star of the show...
I first fell in love with these wild ladies after I married my husband and we started going up to Massachusetts every summer to visit his family. They grow wild all over the place up there and spread like wild fire. I think that they are sometimes referred to as "roadside lilies" and some call them Tiger Lilies. They are not lilies at all, but daylilies, which is a different species. Last summer, his niece even dug out one of hers for us, and we took it home to plant here. It is blooming now, with the stems almost up to my shoulders!
It looks a little different than
the NC variety.
I labeled it and sent it to her to show
her that her efforts were well rewarded.
Here it is in front of our porch...
And do you also remember this post where I showed you some annual dahlias that I used on my front porch in the fall? Well, their future was indeed in the garden. Two out of three made it through the winter.
One is blooming now, with more buds ready to pop...
Now, even if you are of the sort who doesn't like much color and gravitates (like me) to all things chippy and white, don't these flowers just make one small part of you admire the spunk and tenacity of ORANGE!!!
I hope that your day is colorful!

I've owned this food processor for a number of years now, and I love it. It has chopped, sliced, pureed, stirred, frapped ... everything I've thrown at it. It is strong and dependable, no problems at all.
The only issue I had was my own fault. I tried to grate Fels Naptha soap in it (to make my own laundry detergent which does work by the way) and pushed too hard. I cracked the grater support. I just need to get a new attachment. Nothing else has broken in the 5 years I've owned this, and as you can see, I'm not necessarily very easy on my appliances.
This food processor has processed umpteen gallons of "duck soup" (basically animal baby food for sick ferrets). I run a ferret shelter and I cook chicken parts, 10 lbs at a time, until the bones get soft, then process the whole thing (bones and all). This food processor has never batted an eyelash (well, if it *had* eyelashes it wouldn't bat them) at making this "chicken goo". I burned out an inferior food processor doing this, but the Kitchenaide processor has held up to me *and* my ferrets.
Dishwasher safe, it's easy to clean up. I don't usually put my blades in the dishwasher, though, mostly because I know I'd forget and end up having to rewash the dishes to remove the blood spatter.
I especially like that the keypad is a solid plastic soft-button keypad ... nowhere for food to get down under the keys.
I wouldn't own anything else!

I was so excited to order this food processor...I've wanted one for years and finally found it at a price I was willing to pay. I went with the KitchenAid brand, because I have their mini-chopper and I think it works great. The first thing I used was the shredding disk to shred cheese and zucchini for zucchini cakes I was making for dinner. It worked GREAT and SO quickly. Much better than using a box shredder and doing it all by hand. The shredding task alone probably makes it worth what I paid for it. Then I went to process an entire package of oreos for some truffles. The whole package wouldn't fit into the mini-bowl that was included, so I took it out and used the full-sized 9 cup bowl. Apparently there wasn't enough in there, because the blades rough chopped, and then all of the cookies were too far away from the blades to be ground any further. I had to transfer everything back into the smaller bowl and process again. This dirtied up more dishes and made a big mess all over my counter. I don't know how much stuff you would have to have in there in order for the large bowl to work properly- I was very unhappy with this- the same thing happened when I tried to process sweet potatoes into baby food.

Comments about KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor:
I am always looking for tools that will make cooking easier, and the KitchenAid 7 Cup Food Processor is really helpful when you're cooking. I have used this in the past to grind nuts, puree frozen bananas, and mix ingredients for salsa.
I normally leave this food processor in one of my cabinets, but I never had any problems with this causing damage to the food processor. So far, it has been very durable and sturdy.
Although this is a little on the expensive side, it's worth it for the amount of times I have used this food processor. It is also relatively easy to clean. I typically take the food processor apart and put the individual pieces in the dishwasher. I never had a problem with these pieces melting or getting cracks because of being in the dishwasher.
I never had a problem with the motor not being powerful enough to blend anything I put in the food processor.
Ease of Cleaning
This is really easy to clean because I just put all of the pieces in the dishwasher.
Comments about KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor:
I used to have a large food processor that would grind up anything. When my husband brought this home, I was very scared that it wouldn't do the same job as the large one did. To my surprise, the KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor KFP715 does an amazing job with whatever it is I put in it. I use it to grind up and puree pretty much everything. I even make my own ground chicken in it. I cut up the chicken breast into cubes and put them in. Then I turn on the machine and let it do its job. The chicken comes out so finely ground, it is almost as good as store bought, but I enjoy it more. I grind up all sorts of vegetables in it as well.
Cleaning the KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor KFP715 is pretty simple. I wash it just like I do any other dish that's in the sink. Then I would use a towel to dry it because I am afraid of setting it to dry on its own and it will break.
My only problem with this machine is closing the lid. It is not so easy to close it. It usually takes me a minute or two every time I want to close it to try to figure it out. Other than that, it is a great and simple machine that I love using. It really helps out a lot in the kitchen and cuts down on cooking time.
Comments about KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor:
Simple operation once assembled. Difficult to assemble but reliable and powerful.
Runs like a jet plane at high speeds. Great for my hot sauces.
High level of safety. Almost to an annoying degree but worth it to keep the kids safe.
Ease of Assembly
Safety features add to difficulty. Could be much simpler with better engineering. Difficult to transport. Comes with several useful attachments once you educate yourself.
Ease of Cleaning
Machine washable. Not bad. Careful with water in motor! Pay attention to which attachments are washable too.
Decent so far. I did scratch the inside of the mixing compartment with the blade pretty easily though. Made to last 5 years or so i'd say.
Comments about KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor:
We got this food processor 3 years ago as a wedding present and use it almost every time we host guests (which is pretty often!) We have been very happy with how it works. I mainly use it for slicing/grating vegetables such as carrots or potatoes and it works very well for that. I have also used it to mix cakes and even to make sorbet from frozen fruit and have been very please with how it works. It has definitely saved me lots of time in my food prep. It is also very easy to clean. The only regret that I have is that I did not get a larger food processor. 7 cups sounds like alot but when I am hosting I often have to run 2 batches through the food processor, which is not the biggest deal but it would be nice to have a larger processor, Other than that the power is very strong and we have been very happy with it. I had another food processor before and it used to leak, but have never had leaking problems with this one.
Ease of Assembly
very easy to put together and take apart
Comments about KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor:
Does the work of many kitchen gadgets including a slicer, grater, and blender. I made tabouleh in minutes by sending all the ingredients through the slicer function.
Slices very quickly with the slicer attachment and pulverizes frozen fruit and vegetables in minutes. Creates my concoctions in minutes with ease and speed.
Has several safety feature that have saved me and my children fingers. It does not turn on if the container is not snapped on properly. It also will not turn on if the lid is not secured properly(which has also saved me from creating messes as well).
Ease of Assembly
Snaps on and snaps off with ease. Come apart and allows me to clean up in seconds.
Ease of Cleaning
Come apart and allows me to clean up in seconds.
I have had it for a few years now and have made Almond butter from almonds in minutes and let it run for about 5 minutes straight in order to create smooth butter. I use it daily to make green smoothies(frozen spinach, blueberry and banana) and it comes out nice and smooth and has not shown signs of slowing down.
Comments about KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor:
I really enjoy using this food processor. Works great for everything I use it on. However the bowl has broke 2 times on me already and I just bought it 6 months ago. Kitchen aid has replaced the bowl with the broken handle with no problems. I called them the other day to let them know the bottom of the food processor where the bowl attaches also split into little pieces. I do not store my bowl on top of the processor so I think it happen when I was shredding my chicken because the bowl bounced around while it shredded. Currently I am awaiting for the replacement they are sending me. The have really good customer satisfaction!
Comments about KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor:
I really do like this food processor. Only after owning and using it, did I realize that there are no other blades available to purchase. This really limits what you can do. Also 7 cups sounds like a lot but in reality- it's not. I really wish I had purchased a much bigger size.
The larger size would give me the option of many other blades and a larger cup would allow me to process larger batches. With 7 cups you are really limited and have to process one ingredient at a time and then mix by hand in a bigger bowl.
True- this is a great machine. It is easy to clean. It is easy to use. And it is a dream for storage and overall design. Spring for the extra size and you will be glad you did! I wish I had!
Comments about KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor:
I have been wanting a food processor for years, and now that i've decided to make my own baby food, I finally commited to buying one. I bought the 7 cup version because it seemed mid-sized. I have to say, im not sure how it is for cooking purposes, but its a little on the big side for making small batches of baby food. Sometimes there are chunks of food left, and I have to stir real good and re-process to get everything finely blended. I also tried to make a rice powder, which didnt go too well, but not necessarily this processors fault. Im just not sure they are built to make powder out of rice! I will say on a positive note, its still a good size for storing and using, and its very easy to put together, clean, and use. Great product overall, I just might have the wrong purpose for it!
Comments about KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor:
This is a very good Food Processor. I am not a huge cook but I did learn a few recipies over the year i use to impress new friends. One of my favorites is a dip that requires a food processor. Since buying the food processor for this specific recipie I have been able to come across many different recipies.
This product is pretty easy to use. The only real problem I have with it is getting it exactly in place to turn on. It seems like Kitchenaid has a specific way they want it put together. If it is not put together exactly perfectly, blade, cup and top it will not turn on. This became a problem at first because after putting in the ingrediants I would have to shuffle it around. I found if the blade fell off the bottom some of the ingrediants would also fall out.
The price of this processor is definately not the cheapest on the market but if you trust Kitchenaid products I would suggest you go with it. It is well built and trustworthy.
Comments about KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor:
I got this processor for just my husband and I, its great for us to make small chopping faster. It is very quiet, has lots of parts for I can chop, grate, even juice citurs fruit. There is even an attachement so I can make pie dough. With my Standmixer and my processor I am always trying things new because the processor makes me want to try new things since it is small batch, and easy to clean up. I can put all the parts in the dishwasher, so its great for me, since I don't like to clean the kitchen.

It shows how much she loves her family, what a great life she's had, and that if she were to die it would all be fine. I hope she had those same thoughts prior to the last surgery. You will be missed by so many, but mostly by your family and dear friends.
This footage obviously isn't from the fateful surgery that ultimately led to Joan Rivers' untimely death, it is still an incredibly poignant piece that allows the viewer a glimpse into the comedy legend's views on her own mortality. Credits: Jim Maddox via YouTube
Truly a great Mom! She loved her daughter so much she let her know that she was the most important thing and opened a window for her to look through.

i want to put my 601s2 on the wall what is the best way to do it? anyone got any pics?
I used some small wall mounts from argos - they're small squares with a ball between that swivels. As the 601's are so heavy I used 2 per speaker.
Sorry no pics but they work!

3 Home Buying Mistakes To Avoid
There are many facets of buying a home and the process can be a bit overwhelming at times. However, buying a home is very exciting and if you avoid various home buying mistakes, it will make your home ownership process one that is rewarding for many years to come. I recommend that home buyers avoid these three common mistakes when it comes to purchasing a house.
#1: Not working with a buyer's agent.
A knowledgeable Realtor can help provide advice that fits your specific situation. An experienced buyer's agent has worked with hundreds of different home buyers and they can help you understand what's happening each step of the way. You'll also be able to ask questions that may come up and your agent will also help you plan for closing costs and other costs that may arise. In addition, a buyer's agent will help you know if a home is worth the price, what its resale value might be, and they will be your advocate when it comes to negotiations. When it comes to buying a home, you want someone on your side, and a qualified Realtor will be there the whole time.
#2: Not getting pre-approved.
Getting pre-approved for a mortgage serves dual purposes: it shows sellers that you're serious and it also gives you a realistic idea of how much you can afford for a home. Work with a lender that you trust and gather up all relevant financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, and bank statements. Your lender will work with you to get the information needed to provide an accurate pre-approval letter. Then, you can start shopping for homes within your budget.
#3: Not getting an inspection by a credentialed inspector.
A credentialed inspector will help alert you to any potential problems that the home may have such as faulty wiring, plumbing leaks, or structural issues. A layperson generally wouldn't be able to spot these things, so when it comes to spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a home, it's worth it to pitch in a little bit extra to pay for a qualified and experienced inspector that holds proper credentials. Skipping that step could be costly, and you may end up paying for it later when you discover something major is wrong with the home.
If you've decided that you're ready to buy a home this autumn, contact me today to help you get the ball rolling!
What is a Comparative Market Analysis?
When it comes to buying or selling a home, setting the right price from the get go is one of the most important steps. This requires a little bit of research as to what other homes are selling for in the area so you can judge what the value is of the home that you're buying or selling. The market ultimately sets the value of a home. One of the best ways to compare your home to others in the area is to use a comparative market analysis (CMA).
What is a CMA?
A comparative market analysis is a report compiled by your Realtor® that provides a helpful evaluation of similar homes that have recently sold (called comparables) that are near a home that is intended to be sold or purchased. The report will give you information about homes that are similar to yours (in size, amenities, location, etc.) that are either currently for sale, have been recently sold, or those that were listed but expired or removed from the market. A good comparative market analysis will give you the following info:
-What homes like yours are currently selling for
-The amount of time it has taken them to sell
-What prices were in relation to initial list prices
Consider this scenario:
Here is an example of how a CMA can help a family that is looking to write an offer on a home that they want to purchase. The family wants to make an offer on a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home that is 2,000 square feet, located on a quiet street with a big yard, and listed at $300,000. The real estate agent that they are working with provides a comparative market analysis that looks at 3 other properties that have recently sold in the same area. The first is identical but it is located on a busy street and it sold for $274,000. The second property is similar, except offers more square footage, some small upgrades, and sold for $315,000. The other home is the same size but has one less bathroom and needs to be updated. It sold for $265,000. After analyzing these properties, the Realtor® determines that the listing price of $300,000 is fair and recommends that the family writes an offer that is close to asking price. The family purchases the home for $295,000. It's important to note that an experienced Realtor ® knows what criteria to use in the CMA, taking into account what an appraiser will use for loan approval purposes (ie. comparables that have sold in the last 6 months).
Have more questions about how the CMA affects the value of your home or the home that you're looking at buying? I'm glad to walk you through the process. Contact me today for details.

Why Does the Cross-Fire Injection System Get Such a Bad Rap?
Though widely disliked, even by numbers-matching purists, this early EFI isn't half bad.
Remember the bad old days when smog, safety, and fuel economy regulations ganged up and ruined automotive performance and style? For the first time since before the Ford Model T, cars actually got worse instead of better. Things were so bad that full-sized vans customized like rumpus rooms on wheels were the hottest enthusiast vehicles around, and we all just sat in the back crying in our beers about the performance we'd lost.
How bad did things get for the Corvette? In 1980 there was no manual transmission in California; just a slushbox and a 305-cubic-inch motor with 180 horsepower. In 1981 the 350-cubic-inch motor only made 190 horsepower, fueled by a computer-augmented Quadrajet carburetor. The hot, new C4 was already in the works, and with its sleeker hood-line, the carburetor and its big round air cleaner were not going to fit. Plus Chevy desperately needed a way to increase performance and federally mandated fuel economy. The Cross-Fire Injection System seemed to be the answer. The Cross-Fire managed to do all that was needed: fit under the hood, and save Chevrolet from a fiasco of warranty returns and lost luster to its shining halo car. So why does it get so much hate, even from Corvette lovers?
The simple answer is that people hate what they don't understand, and in 1982 almost nobody understood fuel injection or computers. Cross-Fire was different, and it looked complicated. In reality, though, it was actually pretty simple with just a handful of sensors and a computer as complicated as a pocket calculator. As long as the mechanical adjustments were done correctly to synchronize the throttle bodies, it ran great.
The system monitored coolant temperature, throttle position, manifold vacuum, and RPM. Then it used an oxygen sensor to fine-tune fuel delivery. The two simple throttle body fuel injectors could fire up to 80 times a second, and the electric fuel pump could vary pressure from 9 psi up to 13 psi, when load, throttle position, or RPM demanded it. People in the know claim that between the size of the throttle body openings and injectors, this system can flow as much as a 750-cfm, four-barrel carburetor.
The "cross" part of the name came from the design of the intake manifold, which was also the key to getting proper breathing while maintaining a low hood. The Cross-Fire manifold was very much like the old cross-ram, dual quad manifold which was a "factory" option back in 1967 for the Camaro Z28 race car in SCCA Trans-Am. Instead of an eight-legged spider of intake runners with a centrally mounted carburetor, the four runners from each side went straight across from the intake ports nearly to the valve cover, with a carb (or throttle body in the case of the Cross-Fire) mounted on each side. In racing, this let the little 302 breathe all the way up to 7,000 rpm and make 500 horsepower.
The Cross-Fire Injection manifold, however, was a much lower performance version of the same design. The injectors could deliver the fuel. The throttle bodies could flow the air. Compression was up and a more aggressive cam was installed from the factory. Even choked with catalytic converters, the exhaust flowed respectably thanks to header-like manifolds. The problem was that GM shrank the size of the intake runners down to just 2/3rds of the size of the intake ports. They did this for better fuel economy, and to increase the flow velocity for better driveability. After all, this was their halo car and they needed it to run right without complaints from day one.
Still, there are die-hard fans of the last of the C3 Corvettes here on Corvette Forum who like the system, and have no complaints. There are even several members with more than a quarter-million miles racked up on 1982 or 1984 (there are no 1983 Corvettes) Cross-Fire equipped Corvettes. Corvette Forum member toobroketoretire says "I have owned an '82 for 23 years, and now have 275,000 miles on it. So I have a great deal of knowledge about the Cross-Fire Injection system used on it." Forum member texaswilkins put even more miles on his. "Mine has almost 300,000 miles on it, and it still spins tires and pulls hard until way above the speed limit." A thread from way back in 2009 has plenty of good things to say about this much-maligned system.
If you are lucky enough to live in a state where 1984 is beyond the reach of smog tests (or your testers aren't very observant), you can correct GMs short shrift of the Cross-Fire motor. The aftermarket offers an intake manifold that solves the airflow problem and delivers up to 32 extra horsepower. The Renegade intake manifold manages to fit under the stock hood and air cleaner yet has a bigger plenum area and ports sized for proper performance. Yes, it will lower your fuel economy a little bit, but who cares when you suddenly are getting to 60 mph seconds faster.
What do you think of the Cross-Fire?

do it yourself dynel rub-strips
i build my own kayaks and use dynel fabric to make rub strips to protect the bow and stern. some places will sell you a 'rub-strip kit'.....but in the end, it is just several pieces of dynel cloth bias cut two inches wide by 18 to 24 inches in length.bought a yard of the dynel cloth from jamestown and cut my own strips. easy to do with a sharp pair of scissors. plenty of material to do a dozen kayaks for the cost of one 'rub-strip kit' (which will do only one kayak with no material to spare).

i'm sitting here wondering if i can believe the ish j was feeding me today. she's reading some snazzy book about past lives and she thinks she has the current soul i'm dealing with figured out.
apparently in my last life i was some racist named billy bob russy. billy bob russy was whack and so when it was time to stand in line for his next life's path he was forced to choose one that would teach his sorry behind lessons he was incapable of learning then. that, i guess, meant he had to come back as a biracial single chick. (while she was telling me this i was SO visualizing jonah from sleepless in seattle telling his father the spiel about how tom hanks couldn't see that meg ryan was his soul mate because he wasn't pure of heart like jonah)
i'm gonna digest that one...i'm gonna chew on it a bit like billy bob russy would chew a piece of fat. i'm gonna try to figure out why my last soul person decided on putting me in this particular life. i'm lactose intolerant. did billy bob russy (say the full name always. he liked that.) hate his life on the dairy farm so much that he decided he'd do away with milk and some forms of cheese?
did he ask for big feet (wink wink) and forget that he MAY come back as a chick? did his wife nag him to the point he wished for a horrible next life filled with craptastic solo days, months, years? what the freak did i do to billy bobb russy?! better yet what did his trick of a wife do!? even better question than that--which person has she come back as in my current life so that i can smack her around a bit! (i haven't learned a darn thing.)
he never got attached to the dog that risked its life for him during the duck stampede of '42...therefore i attach myself to every damn object that comes across my path. i name everything. EVERYTHING. i'm currently typing on george, my handy dandy laptop.
i do like some of the stuff j was droppin though. apparently my Godchild was close to me in my last life as well as j herself and the people in my close circle. i don't know why i was the one that got to pull people along..i mean why couldn't the dog decide to pull me in? what if someone didn't want to have a darn tootin' thing to do with me this time around? there's lots of questions j.
lucy, you got some splainin to do! (billy bob russy translation: woman you better get 'er done and ya better do it dern quick or i'll have to make you sleep outside with the hogs again. now fetch me my pipe and scratch my balls the way papa likes it.)

Ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi is to be held for 15 days pending investigation into his potentially illegal activities. According to reports of Egyptian media, he is being accused of espionage and treason, prison breaks during mass anti-government protests in 2011 as well as conspiring with the Palestinian Hamas group MENA news agency reports that he was already questioned with regards to some of these accusations.
After being overthrown by the Egyptian army July 3rd, Morsi was held in a safe place at an unknown location; meanwhile his supporters demanded his release and return to power. July 8th dozens of armed islamists attacked the Republican Guard headquarters in Cairo, believing Morsi to be held there. This attack and following clashes between protesters and the military led to 53 casualties.
Meanwhile, Hamas has refuted any allegations of conspiring with Morsi. Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt has also dismissed accusations made by the Prosecutor General's office against the ousted president.
In an interview to Itar-Tass, former leader of the islamist movement Abdel-Galil El-Sharnoubi suggested that "during its rule, the Brotherhood has been completely discredited; they staining themselves with the people's blood, undermined Egypt's national security and disclosed national secrets. They're accused of espionage and treason not without grounds – these leaders know they will have to pay for everything." El-Sharnoubi, who left the organization due to ideological differences and is now being persecuted by current leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood, added that protesters at the Rabia al-Adawiyya Square are reinforced by the Free Syrian Army, a militant branch of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades Hamas movement as well as combative Bedouins of the Sinai peninsula. "They are prepared for armed confrontation and physical elimination of 'undesirable' people," El-Sharnoubi concluded.
Morsi's detainment has coincided with previously scheduled mass rallies in support of the armed forces and against terrorism. Last Wednesday, Ministry of Defence Abdul Fatah al-Sisi urged all Egyptians to take to the streets with calls to "give the army a carte blanche to be used in the war on terrorism." A number of observers believe that this may lead to provocations and violent clashes; armed forces announced they will protect the demonstrators. At the same time, the Muslim Brotherhood treat al-Sisi's announcement as inciting civil war.

Once we were talking with my friends what a fun game Twister is. Immediately it came into my mind that I could make one myself.
I used a cotton sheet as the mat, approx. 140*170 cm. It is quite large because I wanted it to suit grown up men as well. I checked if a shorter person – like me – can reach from one and to another. Unfortunately I forgot that during the game you have to do it over several other people's back so I can't reach the opposite corner but I still enjoy. The sheet is not as stable as the original mat so it might get wrinkled depending on the floor.

When the temperatures drop and the weather gets colder a scheme based on good old-fashioned neighbourliness will spring into action to help the most isolated and vulnerable people in our communities.
This winter, where people are unable to get out of their homes to replenish the food in their cupboards, they can call and request a parcel of essential groceries to be delivered to their door.
Co-ordinated by North Kesteven District Council's Community Initiatives Team, the Winter Wellbeing Scheme is delivered by community volunteers and Lincolnshire Co-operative stores locally. The project runs on weekdays and is supported by Sleaford's Riverside Church and New Life Church Ministries.
The main focus is on supporting those who are running out of food, have no family or friends locally they can call upon for assistance and can't easily get to the shops because of lying snow, persistent cold and limited mobility. In some cases volunteers will collect prescriptions, clear snow and ice from paths and ensure that vulnerable people have what they need.
Anyone wanting to use the service needs to call NKDC during working hours to request a delivery, explain their need and arrange to make a payment.
Their request will be passed on to a community volunteer who will pick up a parcel and take it where it's needed.
While there they may be able to help in other ways and leave details of the NK Wellbeing Service which helps people to retain their domestic independence.
Coun Marion Brighton, Leader of NKDC, said: "The Winter Wellbeing Scheme gives people somewhere to turn to when they are running low on food and cannot get out to do the shopping.
"North Kesteven is a supportive place to live and it is important that schemes like this help our residents, particularly when the weather is cold and when conditions under foot can be dangerous.
"We do not want people struggling to get by or going hungry, so please make use of this service if you need it. It is there to support you."
There are triggers on the severity of cold but there isn't age or disability criteria to be eligible to use the scheme.
Parcels start from under £16 and will contain toilet rolls, white bread, UHT milk, eggs, tinned beans and soup, fresh sausages, cheese, jam, potatoes, biscuits and tea of coffee. Other packs suited to vegetarian, gluten-free and diabetic needs will be available.
Recipients of a food parcel can also request a cat or dog pet pack, which are priced under £4.
To make a request for a parcel, call NKDC on 01529 414155.
If anyone would like to help the service and become a volunteer, email Jeremy Green at the Riverside Church on firstname.lastname@example.com or call NKDC for more information. All suitable training, safety and safeguarding measures will be taken.

Branding in Service Marketing
Brand is paramount in the product arena; it creates awareness, drives perception, and improves desirability. Brands with top-of-mind awareness have higher perceived value, which allows charging higher price points. Many service companies, however, have not embraced brand, because they believe it to be largely the domain of product companies. But many of the same basic marketing principles apply: brand drives perception, preference, top-of-mind awareness, higher fees, and so on. So why can't service firms reap the same benefits?
They can, when branding for a service firm is done right. In order to brand your service firm the right way and take advantage of the same benefits that product companies receive from great branding, there are four key distinctions between product and services branding strategy that you need to be aware of.
Four Keys To Launching Your Service Brand:
In order to brand your service firm the right way and take advantage of the same benefits that product companies receive from great branding, there are four key distinctions to consider.
1. Don't Mass Market To Your Target Market
Product companies sell to the masses through large scale advertising efforts. Following in the footsteps of these
companies, many service firms, when attempting to build their brand, start advertising to the masses as if they were
selling Wrigley's Spearmint Gum or Coca Cola. But for a service brand, this is a waste. It's not targeted enough, and it
costs too much, given the return that it provides. The dynamics of brand implementation are just different for service
companies. Service firms need consistent articulation of their value proposition across all touch points of the marketing
and sales process. While catchy jingles during primetime TV might work for a product company, they are simply
inappropriate for service firms. But the...

A raised bed is ideally 18 - 24 inches deep, but if you are building your raised beds on top of existing earth you wilI have some leeway here. I have successfully gardened in boxes built over earth with only one foot of soil depth. You can find both detailed instructions for building a raised beds and multiple choices for buying raised beds here.
Fertile soil that retains nutrients and water is one of the keys to success with intensive planting, which is a fancy way of saying planting a lot in a little area. America's intensive-growing tradition has two fathers: John Jeavons and Mel Bartholomew. In his classic 1974 book, How to Grow More Vegetables Than You Ever Thought Possible on Less Land Than You Can Imagine, Jeavons introduced Americans to French intensive-gardening techniques, notably deep soil preparation through double-dug beds and intensive crop-planting patterns. Seven years later, Bartholomew offered a new way to think about these patterns in a classic book of his own

The local community fundraisers organised a great event for today.
Tuf Mudders for little ones.
There has been a lot of talk throughout the community with everyone I met saying that they were really looking forward to it.
The day has arrived!
We parked up in the farther away car park and followed the signs up the long driveway.
We got to the hut and the place was MOBBED, oh my goodness so many people! And what a heat!!
We joined the queue to sign up for our turn to do the race/obstacle course.
And grabbed the crayons for some war paint!
J and B took themselves to the starting line. I hadn't thought to do the course with J because my ankle was really sore but once the starter was blown and I saw B shoot off into the distance, with J trailing behind, I just couldn't sit about. So I dashed to catch up.
I couldn't get enough pictures!
It was so much fun!
J was delighted with himself when he made it over the finish line !
We found B in the crowds. A little mucky but still delighted with herself 😀
It was so busy we didn't hang around for too long.
B got changed, we had a snack and then went to head back to the car via the wooden xylaphone.
On the way home we went past the village harbour. I decided that. I wanted a little more peace before we went back to the house.
As we had wandered through the wood, we had been accompanied by my friend and Js friend.
I needed to just have a moment with my children in a peaceful environment, just us.
This was perfect.
We threw stones into the water, I even managed to skim some!
Then we headed home for a nice peaceful afternoon.
The children were supposed to have baths, but j had been begging me to watch his Lego Batman, that he had borrowed from his friend. After 3 days I relented.
They agreed that they would watch it whilst I bathed, then they would have their baths.
Then grandad arrived!?
B came up to me, in the bath, to tell me she had overheard her grandad telling her granny, on the phone, that his name had been taken by the police.
She was really quite worried that he was in trouble.
I went down to find out if all was well.
It turned out that he had been witness to an awful crash with a motorcyclist and his passenger, and another car.
Poor grandad then spent the next hour giving his statement.
The children finished their film, had their baths and went to bed tired monkeys, looking forward to a busy day the next day.
Two activities booked, one for the morning anyone for the afternoon.

An outbreak of plague in the capital of Madagascar has authorities fearing a major outbreak of the disease known in medieval times as the Black Death.
In an outbreak that officials believe began in mid-August, 387 cases have been reported so far, including 167 in the capital city of Antananarivo. About 63 people in the area are already dead.
The version of the plague spearing through Madagascar is known as pneumonic plague, a "particularly virulent form of the disease," according to the Los Angeles Times. Because it is spread through infected droplets coughed into the air, it can circulate faster than other forms of plague, which are disseminated by infected flea bites.
Advertisement - story continues below
Officials said one man traveled through the part of the country where plague is more common and spread the disease to at least 30 people before he died.
"Authorities didn't realize they were dealing with the more virulent form of plague until Sept. 11, when a 47-year-old woman with pneumonic plague died in a hospital in Antananarivo," the LA Times reported.
TRENDING: Trump Told Sarah Sanders To Stop White House Media Briefings
That delay turned out to be deadly, as the plague started spreading throughout Madagascar..
The rate of infection illustrates why the small country off the coast of Africa is in panic. As of Oct. 5, there were 258 people infected. As of Oct. 9, that had risen to 387.

"Let's be pragmatic. Let's be realistic. We are defeated by the plague. You can leave your house today and catch the plague tomorrow," said Elysee Ratsiraka, the mayor of Toamasina, one of Madagascar's largest communities. He said the nation needs international help.
Madagascar faces cases of plague every year. The island nation has about 400 plague cases per year, ABC News reported. Most are cases of bubonic plague, which is carried by rats and spread to humans by fleas.
Last year, 52 people died in a season than begins in September and ends in April. That toll has already been exceeded this season.
"Pneumonic plague is a form of plague that is transmissible from person to person, with a potential to trigger severe epidemics if inadequately controlled," the World Health Organization said in a statement.
"Normally, the people who catch the plague are dirty people who live in poor areas, but in this case we find the well-to-do, the directors, the professors, people in every place in society, catching the disease," said Dr. Manitra Rakotoarivony, Madagascar's director of health promotion.

The WHO said there was also a moderate risk plague will spread to other African countries.
The organization rated the danger of the plague spreading worldwide as low.
However, the Seychelles, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, has reported that a 34-year-old man contracted pneumonic plague in Madagascar, but was treated upon his return home.
"The risk of further spread in the Seychelles (should the case be confirmed) is considered as low and the overall regional and global risk levels as very low," the WHO said, according to Fox News.

Linux Mint 18.2 xfce 64-bit (VMWare host) / Windows 8.1 Pro 32-bit (VMWare guest)
I recently did exactly this with my wife's laptop. I used Macrium Reflect Free to create an image backup of the hard drive. I also created a Macrium emergency boot disk.
I then removed the hard drive and installed the SSD. (The SSD was a lot smaller than the hard drive -- HD was 750 GB; SSD was 240 GB.)
I then booted with the emergency disk and restored the image to the SSD.
Finally, I made sure TRIM was enabled on the SSD.
Everything worked perfectly after doing the above.
I think you need to reinstall your hard drive, and then do a backup and an emergency boot disk with Macrium Reflect Free. If you use Macrium rather than whatever you were using, you will have success.

Where was I on this warm and sunny day?
Sandsend Yorkshire!
We'd been staying in Whitby for a few days and walked along the beach on Wednesday from there to Sandsend.
The weather was unbelievable, so many people were out walking and the view from my chair outside a beach side cafe as I sipped my coffee and indulged in a small piece of cake was stunning!
We'd travelled up to Yorkshire first staying in Malham, ready for a weekend of
Well, I loved that!
It was such a great event, plenty to see and plenty to buy.
I didn't see my mandela but know it was up there somewhere!
The yarn bombing in the park was excellent too.
My grandchildren joined in at home trying to guess what yarn bombing was and happened to call me on face time while we were in the park.
So, they were very excited to actually see the bikes and decorated lamp posts, although I was told afterwards that it did look at one point as if I was actually talking to the trees.
So what else did we do once we'd headed off for Whitby?
Well, we went on a steam train
(no photos I'm afraid)
walked up and around Whitby Abbey
we drove over the moors
and walked down to Robin Hoods Bay which is where Kate had her first paddle in the sea at just over 1 year old.
(So a nostalgia trip for us)
Now we're back home
and I have lots of lovely things to look forward to making.
More socks - ( I must not buy any more sock wool!)
Dish clothes
and my list goes on.
The brooch is by
I already have one which I really like that was a gift last christmas and I just couldn't resist having another. they're such beautiful colours.
So plenty to keep me busy.
Have a great weekend.

Fast And Easy Online Ordering
This is the beginning of the online ordering process. Memory Fortress takes the guesswork out of both picture quantities and pricing; our ordering system only charges you a $29 deposit to get started. That doesn't mean your entire order will cost only $29, since we do have a $99 minimum order size. But other services charge half up-front, before any work has been done. We want the ordering process to be easy, quick, and painless. So if you experience any issues with completing an order online, please call us at 678-579-2249, or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The balance is due when the order is complete, just before we ship everything back to you. We will email you an invoice, follow up with a phone call to discuss the invoice, and take a payment over the phone. Of course, this payment will be $29 less than the overall total, because you will have already paid the deposit!
Here's a quick example: Let's say you have 1,000 photos, 100 slides, and 15 VHS tapes, all at regular resolution. You enter those quantities into the order fields and hit Submit. The total price for those items from the Pricing Grid is:
- 1,000 x $0.22 = $220
- 100 x $0.32 = $32
- 15 x $15.00 = $225
which is $477. However, you should see a total due of $29 only. If you see any number other than $29, please do not complete the order; pick up the phone and call us at 678-579-2249. In this case, you would pay $29 now and $448 in a week or two, when we have completed all the work.
Why Order Online?
You may ask yourself: Do I have to order online at all? What if I just want to send my box in without messing with order screens and filling out fields? The answer is that well over half of our customers do just that. Most people want to talk to a human and ask questions before trusting a company with their precious memories. Plenty of customers never touch the order screens during their visits to the website, relying instead on email and phone conversations with us. But if you prefer to get started online, our process is designed to be fast and painless.
So get started for only $29 now! Or just pick up the phone and call us at 678-579-2249. We would certainly like to talk with you.

@RazorbackGym Moves Up Two Spots To No. 16 in the RQS
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — On Monday, Gyminfo Rankings released its third set of Regional Qualifying Scores of the 2015 season, and the University of Arkansas women's gymnastics team moved up two spots this week to No. 16.
The Razorbacks were able to raise their total RQS to 196.260, thanks to tying their season-best score of 196.650 in their 2015 Southeastern Conference regular season finale at No. 10 Georgia last Saturday. This week's RQS pushes Arkansas up two spots in the rankings to No. 16, making it the 10th-straight week that the Razorbacks have been featured inside the Gyminfo Rankings Top 25 this season.
The Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) is used to determine which 36 schools will qualify for the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Regional on April 4. Qualification for regional competition is based on a team's six best regular-season-meet scores, of which three much be away. To calculate the RQS, the team's highest score is dropped and the five remaining scores are then averaged.
In event rankings, Arkansas maintained its place inside the top-20 in three events for the seventh-straight week. The Razorbacks ranked 12th in both the vault (49.260) and floor exercise (49.225) and came in at tied for 17th in the uneven bars with a 49.065 RQS. The balance beam rotation, which is coming off a season-best performance with a 49.100 at Georgia, tied for the 39th-best RQS score in the event with its 48.645.
Sophomore Amanda Wellick, who set a career-best all-around score (39.650) at Georgia to win her 14th event title of 2015, is currently ranked inside the top-20 of the RQS in three events. The Wheaton, Illinois, native is tied for 10th on the vault with 9.920 average score, 14th in the all-around with a 39.385 and tied for 20th on the floor exercise by averaging 9.900.
The SEC had seven of its eight teams rank inside the RQS top-25 this week, once again had five teams place inside the top-10. Florida and LSU switched positions in this week's rankings, as the Gators jumped up to No. 2 and the Tigers fell to No. 3. Alabama also moved up one spot to No. 5, while Auburn jumped up two spots to No. 7. Georgia maintained its No. 10 positioning this week, while Kentucky fell two spots to No. 24.
The 16th-ranked Razorbacks conclude the 2015 regular season this Friday, March 13, as they host Pac-12 power, and eighth-ranked, UCLA. Start time from Barnhill Arena is set for 6:45 p.m. CT, with the live webcast on the SEC Network+ beginning at 7 p.m. CT.

We started the day with Brian Hollman and all sorts of statistical information about how the past year compared to the year before. Sorry Brian, but some of it went right over my head. I was the one with the deer in the headlights look. :-(
Once Brian was done stuffing our heads with all of his numbers, Christine gave us some marketing facts and figures. All interesting stuff and not so many numbers as Brian had! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Christine!! Love ya' Brian, but...
Monica got her baby fix by carrying around the cutest teeny weeny little sweetheart! I can't remember who she belonged to, but she was beautiful! Did you know Monica has 7 kids!!?? What an amazing woman!! But I am sooooo jealous! Even after 7 kids, she has the body of someone who MAY have had one or two!
We know where the incentive trip will be for March 2014!!! Costa Rica! I am going to work my tail off to earn that trip for the DH and me! Imagine - airfare for two and a week at an all-inclusive resort, all paid for by CTMH! Do we have a great company or what?!
Dana Wilde with Mind Aware was our keynote speaker this morning and gave us some super ideas for getting our minds working in a more positive mode. I took tons of notes and ran out of paper. Tomorrow, I take a note book!
Lunch was so good! A Southwestern themed lunch of spinach salad with jicama (YUM!!) and mandarin oranges, grouper with a tomato-ey sauce (YUM again!), tortillas, steak, chicken fajitas, beans, chicken tortilla soup, and for dessert a slice of Tres Leche cake and pralines. If you have never had Tres Leche (it means three milk) cake, it is a sponge cake sort of thing that has a mixture of condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream poured over top and allowed to soak in. It is incredible!!! And the pralines were way to sinful!
By now, I was ready for a nap. But the afternoon sessions beckoned. Again, tons of information that will be so, so helpful n building my business! Thank you to all the ladies who presented!
I had a look at the pics I took and they are shaky, dark, and not that great, but here are a few anyway.
These great ladies answered all sorts of questions about how they got their businesses going and they keep them going. Again, tons of notes and ran out of paper. Definitely need a notebook!
We got some excellent tips on how to have successful home parties and then...
...some excellent tips from Mandy Leahy and Tresa Black on how to use social media to its full advantage. Facebook and I are good friends already, but although I have a Twitter account, I don't use it as much as I should (so I discovered). I love Tresa Black's videos and now I have the incentive to make my own and post them on You tube or Ustream. I am going to have to get a video camera so I can do just that!
So, Leadership Day has come to an end and tomorrow the REAL fun starts!! I can hardly wait!


text: Doc_speeder My Ride Posted August 15, 2017 So I'm 42, and mainly ride woods/mountains/single track. I've noticed there are lots of threads started on the subject of jumping technique, mainly in the form of questions, and I wanted to maybe help some people out that were in the same boat as me. This year, in the interest of becoming a better rider overall, improving my fitness, and become more comfortable with higher speeds I've been spinning some laps at the local MX track. Nothing serious, I don't record lap times, and I really have been able to use the predictable nature of multiple laps to work on specific techniques that I feel need improving. I'd love to crank out some big doubles and triples, as it looks really fun but I have been terrified of getting out of shape and getting seriously hurt, as that would be bad for the family provider aspect of my life. However I have been working on getting more comfortable and actually enjoying a bit of flight time on my YZ250X on some of the smaller doubles at the track. I have been out 6 times now and I usually ride for about 3-4 20 minute sessions with just short water breaks in between. At first, I was finding that I was always off-balance in the air, and I really didn't know what I was doing wrong. Usually I was getting kicked to the side. and usually front wheel came up too high. I really worked on analyzing what I was doing on the face of the jumps. Body position, throttle and gear habits, arm positioning, stance on the pegs etc. I watched lots of fast guys carefully. I watched lots of You Tube vids. I even really studied the body position of the pros on TV. I have come a LONG way this season. Here's what I found: 1) body position is more important than bike attitude --what I mean by that is that even if the bike hits a bit of rut or kicker, I can pull it back as long as my BODY is balanced at take off. 2) stay loose, especially in the arms. --I have been focused on making sure my weight is on my legs, and I try to maintain a more or less vertical body position, even as the bike is climbing the face of a jump. This usually results in my head being over the bars on takeoff, which seems to be the way the pros do it, unless they are seat bouncing which is not a technique I've worked on yet. Weight on the legs takes the weight off my arms, which seems to help the front end to work more freely. 3) MAKE SURE your weight is evenly distributed between your left and right legs. --yeah, it sounds obvious, but this was the root cause of me being kicked to the side. I was subconsciously putting more weight on my left foot... So really, REALLY pay attention to this 4) leave the jump face at a lower RPM if possible --For example, if a jump could be cleared in 2nd gear wrung out, I'll do it in 3rd. This still results in being in a meaty part of the rev range but with room for a "panic rev" if that becomes necessary. Also, I find the bike feels looser and more relaxed if ridden a gear high. I've determined that this may be due to my off-road habits, but whatever--it works for me. 5) hit jumps faster that you think is necessary --I find it much easier to absorb energy and "shorten" and jump than really tug on the bars and try to "extend" a jump. That's just some things I've learned by really analyzing my riding. I had some bad habits that didn't really seem to cause any issues off-road, but really hurt my ability and enjoyment at the track. I haven't attempted any doubles more than about 40' so far, but as my confidence and comfort grows, I know it's just a matter of time. Yesterday for the first time, I really found that I was able to play with the bike's attitude in the air, including some jumps that are sort of mid-corner, or jumps that should be taken leaned over a bit to set up for the following obstacles. I don't feel like I'm just along for the ride any more, and that is a really great feeling! As far as my primary goal? Yeah, it's made me better off road too. I really believe that to a great extent - "seat time is seat time". The track is closer than the mountains, and allows me to put in some really concentrated and focused seat time. It's also fun to use all the power more of the time. What a great well rounded bike the YZ250X is! Sorry for the long post, just wanted to help out some fellow MX noobs. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Humans and Bugs Brain Exploration!
Fruit flies are highly visual creatures, and their brains are complex enough to support many interesting visually-guided behaviors but also not as complicated to study as the brains of larger lab animals. We are interested in understanding how the fruit fly brain processes visual stimuli to detect useful information, such as motion and contrast. We are particularly interested in finding out how different neurons in the visual system process information, and what molecular "parts" allow them to do their jobs. To get at these questions, we do experiments such as two-photon imaging of live fly brains, which basically means we show the fruit flies a movie and use a microscope to image their brain activity at the same time.

Do you like beards, goatees or mustaches? Why or why not?
I've had a mustache since early in college, and I think I started my beard ca. 1994. I don't miss shaving every day (it's easier to get away with a bit of stubble when it's just the periphery of the beard...), and I think it makes my face look better- adds a bit of gravitas if nothing else. And monsteralice (as well as others whose opinions I value) likes it.
On other folks, it varies.
