Edward Lasker – The Immortal King Walk
by Shraishth Jain
Stat Attack – Stadiums with most centuries
Edward Lasker was a leading chess player in the early 20th century and the game we will discuss today is his most famous game, in which he defeated George Alan Thomas in London in 1912. The game was 18 moves long and is widely renowned as it contains a beautiful queen sacrifice, which is followed by a king-hunt of epic proportions, as Thomas' king is forced on a long walk to the other side of the board, before being checkmated. Let's get straight into it and look at the game, with Lasker playing with white.
Here's how the opening went – 1. d4 e6 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. Bxf6 Bxf6 6. e4 fxe4 7. Nxe4 b6 8. Ne5 O-O 9. Bd3 Bb7 10. Qh5 Qe7.
A simple and quite common opening, with both sides equal at the moment. This is when Lasker made his move which rendered his opponent completely helpless. Here's how the board looked like –
Black has just moved his queen to e7, and white has the opportunity to mate from here! It is very difficult to find the mate in this position, but Lasker found it and unleashed a scintillating set of moves, which completely floored his opponent.
He played 11. Qxh7+, which means the black king is forced to take the queen and thus 11…Kxh7. Lasker has sacrificed his queen in order to draw the king towards the middle part of the board. With the king on h7, he plays 12. Nf6+.
There is a double check on the king, as he the bishop on d3 and the knight on f6 are both giving check. Black cannot play 12…Kh8 as a simple 13. Ng6 would be checkmate. Thus, black is forced to play 12…Kh6.
Now, the king is on h6 and white plays 13. Neg4+, which means the knight on the e-file moves to g4 and gives check. This is how it looks like now –
With the king under check, black is forced to play 13…Kg5. The knight on f6 is blocking the h5 and h7 squares and the bishop on d3 is covering g6. Notice how the knights have made an L-shape and are thus protecting each other.
After Kg5, how does white proceed? He plays 14. h4+
Again, the black king cannot go anywhere except f4, as all of its other squares are under white's attack. Thus, we have 14…Kf4.
As the king moves farther away from the other black pieces and comes to f4, Lasker plays 15. g3+, giving the king absolutely no respite.
As this amazing sequence of forced moves continues, you can look at the board and see that all squares available to the king are under attack, except one, which is 15…f3.
Now, what does white do next? Try to figure it out. If you think he played Kh2, you're incorrect. White plays 16. Be2+, with the king protecting the bishop.
The nightmare for black doesn't seem to end. Again, he is forced to play a move, which is 16…Kg2. Now, we only have two moves left. How should white proceed in order to deliver the sucker punch?
He plays 17. Rh2+!
Black has no other option but to play 17…Kg2. Just pause for a moment and reflect on the last few moves. The king has been FORCED to move from the 8th rank right to the 1st rank in a matter of seven moves. Look how far the black king's army is! His bishop, his king, his rooks and his queen are all helpless as white literally kidnaps the king and places him on g2, ready to be executed.
Lasker plays 18. Kd2#, as the king steps onto the second rank and exposes the king to the rook on a1, which means mate. Another option would have been 18. O-O-O# (Queen side castling), which would have looked more pleasing on the eye, perhaps. A great game nevertheless, one that will remain a part of chess history for time immemorial!

Often in debates over educational technology there's a false dichotomy presented – kids can play on devices or they can do the old-school creating with their hands.
Yet left to their own devices, my students made a fort with alarms and sound effects to protect it from unwanted intruders using scratch and Makey Makeys.
Lesson learned: we need to give kids broad experiences and then step back to let them play.


Now is a time when we try to look forward in a positive way, for some that will be life style changes, I have certainly seen more bodies in the gym since 1st January, and for others it means changing behaviours that we may perceive as negative.
The snow drops coming up in the garden and parks.
The bird song we can hear, very loudly at this time if we are listening.
Smelling a lovely cup of coffee or freshly baked bread.
A smile from a passer-by or another driver letting you out at a junction into the queuing traffic.
A free parking space becoming available just as you are driving up to it.
A cup of tea made for you first thing in the morning or when you get in from a busy day.
A wagging dog as you walk towards them.
A cat wanting to sit on your lap.
The blue sky following a heavy shower.
Growing buds on the trees and hedges.
Someone with ponies on leading reigns saying thank you with a hand wave and a big smile because you drive by slowing and widely.
Notice the little things they can really help with a positive outlook.

Principal photography has begun on Disney's mystery adventure "Tomorrowland," starring two-time Academy Award winner George Clooney ("Michael Clayton," "Syriana"), Hugh Laurie ("Monsters vs. Aliens," "Arthur Christmas"), Britt Robertson ("Under The Dome"), Raffey Cassidy ("Dark Shadows," "Snow White and the Huntsman") and Thomas Robinson ("The Switch").
"Explore the mystery of The "1952" Collection that inspired the new movie from the director of The Incredibles and the creator/writer of Lost which takes as its title the word that encapsulates Walt Disney's stirring brand of futurism: TOMORROWLAND. The "1952" Collection contains materials that speak to almost every aspect of Disney's futurism. However, as you shall read and hear, the collection is, at best, an unreliable narrator to its own significance."


every women just loves to hear these words. but what can you do when everything else you've tried just isn't doing the job?
i've been battling with my sinus' for the past 4 1/2 months. personally i think it has something to do with where i live (i moved the beginning of jan, you do the math). i've had more doctor visits in the past few months than the past three years combined.
4 anti-biotics, an air humidifier, air purifier, new pillows/matress cover and hypa filter vacuum later i'm still fighting sinus infections.
now i have to take a anti-flamitory which causes: weightgain. nerveousness. anxiety. increased appitite. sleeplessness. all of which i've had since the infection started.


Ocado shopping is great. You finish all the regular groceries really quickly then get to spend 10 mins running the gauntlet of special offers and new products as you check out. You usually forget about these items and when the delivery man comes then you get mini Christmas Day moments.
Here we have lemon masala burgers and sweet potato chips. Vegetarian and certainly quite healthy, but are they any good?
Well, we know the sweet potato chips are great, we may have even reviewed those before. If you want to make your own then this is much cheaper, but sometimes we fancy oven chips and these are legitimately that bit better for you - a little bag of frozen compromises.
The burgers surprised me by needing a sticker to tell you about them in English, there are many other Euro languages here, and by needing to be fried!
Using ceramic cookware and as little oil as possible I gave them a good frying. Possibly for a little longer than needed as they'd defrosted a little while the chips cooked.
And here we have a meal! Well - again I should have buried it in veggies and salad, but this is supposed to be burger and chips comfort food.
The flavours of the burgers are amazing - fragrant and light - with lots of amazing textures to delight the senses. Adding ketchup on these is not required! The chips too have all the flavour you'd expect and went really well.
The only thing I'd change is I'd have two burgers per sitting instead of one, but if I'd done that we wouldn't be able to have them tonight too!

The order we are born in plays a significant role in the development of our personality. Of course, some characteristics are inherent, but there is a lot we develop based on the order we were born. The order goes like this, first the eldest child, the middle child, the youngest child and the only child. No matter which slot you manage to take, there is no certainty the kind of treatment you are going to receive from the world orbiting around you.
Let us take a look at each rank, starting from the eldest child to the only child, and see what slot we occupy and what role it played in shaping our lives.
Upon research, we learned some interesting facts about people who were the firstborn. For example, all the astronauts to have gone into space were the first child of the family. Furthermore, more than half of the U.S presidents and Nobel prize winners were the first born of their family. The key is to find out the reason behind their success.
Since the parents are the only people the first child can look up to as role models, the child follows and thinks everything the parents do. It is in the nature of the child to look up to the ones older than them. The child gets motivated when they receive encouragement from their parents. Since they have mature adults to look up to and follow, they get thoughtful and sensible before time. Since they have seen their fathers leading the family, they develop a nature to lead from the font from day one. Some of the most successful people in the world are the firstborn such as Barack Obama, JK Rowling, Oprah Winfrey and Kate Middleton.
Unlike the firstborn, the middle child looks up to the elder sibling. They are more influenced by their elder sibling than their parents and are likely to develop the characteristics different than the eldest child. If, for instance, the eldest child is calm by nature, the middle child might develop a rebellious personality to seek the attention of parents. Long story short, they form habits opposite to the those of their elder sibling.
There is a good chance that they develop a diplomatic personality. They are good at judging the situation and know how to act in a given situation. Therefore, they can become good negotiators and are more independent than the others. Not only are they aware of their strengths and weaknesses, they know where they can use them to gain maximum benefits. Princess Diana, Martin King Luther, JFK, Madonna and Bill Gates are some of the examples of middle children.
By the time the youngest child arrives, the parents are already experienced, enough to handle the third. They do not face problems raising the youngest. By this time, they are well aware of the things to do and the things to avoid. So, as a result, the youngest child is raised with ease and leniency. The youngest child receives attention and love from parents as well as the siblings.
The youngest children are free from responsibilities; therefore, they have the opportunity to be creative. They don't feel like being answerable to anyone; they explore the world the way they want. The feeling of being independent allows the children to prove their real potential by being creative. Some of the very successful youngest children are Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Jim Carrey and Halle Berry.
The only child is also the first child. Therefore, the qualities of the only child and the firstborn will be similar. They receive extra love and care from their parents since they are the only child. Since they have their parents as their role models, they are bound to be successful. They spend their entire lives in the absence of siblings, and they are with adults most of the time. This could result in them either being more responsible or completely going against an accountable behavior.
From the parent's side, since this is the only child, the child has to work hard to come up to the expectations of their parents. The unconditional love they receive from their parents helps them in becoming extraordinarily ambitious and dedicated professionals. Some of the successful personalities who were the only child are Maria Sharapova, Natalie Portman, Al Pacino and Daniel Radcliffe.

human rights medal
Winner: Michael Raper
Michael Raper has been the Director of the Welfare Rights Centre in Sydney since 1990 and President of the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) from 1997 to 2001. He is currently Treasurer of the International Council of Social Work as well as Treasurer of the South East Asian Chapter.
At the Welfare Rights Centre, Mr Raper and his team deal with over 4 000 low income and disadvantaged clients each year, providing advice and assistance to ensure they can exercise their obligations, rights and entitlements under the Australian social security system.
The judges were impressed with the breadth and impact of his work with ACOSS and other organisations. They said Mr Raper, though ACOSS, had become a spokesperson for low income workers and has worked tirelessly behind the scenes in a field that does not receive much acclaim and is often overlooked.
law award - sponsored by the law council of australia
Winner: SCALES Community Legal Centre
SCALES identifies its work as human rights advocacy through individual casework, community development projects and law reform. SCALES' clients are young people, refugees and asylum seekers, women escaping domestic violence and public housing tenants. A key element of SCALES' success is the Clinical Legal Education Program it operates in conjunction with the Murdoch University School of Law, which provides training and education of law students in human rights practice.
Judge, Nicholas Cowdery QC said "We were impressed by the strong human rights culture the centre engendered and reinforced. SCALES' work in training and educating law students in human rights law and practice enabled the legal service to be of a broader benefit to the community as well as the individual clients".
Winner: Australian Arabic Council
Since its establishment in 1992, the Australian Arabic Council has campaigned against racism, promoted tolerance and raised awareness of human rights through education. The Council constantly campaigns for more accurate media representation of Arabic issues and promotes the contribution of Arab civilisation to history and to Australian society.
The judges said the Council had a large and dedicated band of volunteers whose work often went unrecognised. They were impressed by the Council's concrete, practical initiatives on racial vilification and cultural diversity and commended them for providing leadership against racial intolerance.
Winner: The Asylum Seeker Project at Hotham Mission
This Melbourne project supports around 200 asylum seekers living in the community who do not have work rights, Medicare, welfare benefits or settlement support and are on bridging visas awaiting a final outcome of their application for asylum. The group rely almost completely on project support for housing, monthly living assistance and social and professional support.
The judges praised the project for its grassroots approach, and acknowledged its work, primarily through volunteers, in providing solutions to problems through direct, practical help and by policy proposals to government, such as the alternative detention model. Hotham Mission has in fact shown it can house asylum seekers released from detention on a systematic basis.
arts non-fiction award
Winner: Faith: a biography of Faith Bandler, Professor Marilyn Lake
Faith is the story of Faith Bandler, one of Australia's best loved and most widely respected citizens. It details her remarkable life, her journey from childhood in a South Sea Islander community in Northern New South Wales, to national recognition as one of Australia's leading human rights activists. As the leader for campaigns for Aboriginal rights and against racial discrimination, Faith Bandler emerged as a compelling public figure. Her leadership and influence were crucial to the success of the 1967 referendum on citizenship rights for Indigenous people.
The judges found Faith to be engrossing, gently layered and substantial, promoting idealism, carrying an inspirational message, and that by opening a window into historical events and the impulses behind them, the biography provides a valuable resource for future activists.
television award
Winner: Duty of Care, Four Corners, ABC Television - Andrew Fowler (reporter), Anne Connolly (producer), Sarah Curnow and Jo Puccini (researchers)
Duty of Care examined the well-intentioned social reform of opening the doors of big institutions and the dramatic lack of subsequent community-based support to help mentally ill people released from those institutions to live in the wider community.
The program illustrated how this shift has resulted in sometimes tragic results. Interviews with grieving families of young people who had taken their own lives after being refused an acute care bed, or after absconding from an understaffed ward, were shown. Professionals told of how they were forced to take dangerous gambles, ejecting seriously ill people from hospital to make beds available for new arrivals. Families conveyed the enormous stress as they battled to keep their loved ones living, with minimal backup.
The judges thought the program was comprehensive and well-researched exposing the mental health system in New South Wales as one which has failed people with mental illness.
radio award
Winner: On the Raft, All at Sea, The Listening Room, ABC Classic FM - Robyn Ravlich and Russell Stapleton (reporters)
On the Raft, All at Sea is a powerful radio documentary about the experience of three generations of asylum seekers. It uses the metaphor of a famous early 19th century painting, 'The Raft of the Medusa', depicting shipwrecked survivors clinging to a flimsy raft adrift at sea as a reference point for a contemporary exploration of why three asylum seekers risked hazardous journeys across different seas at different times.
The judges described the program as "radio at its best, using imagery to evoke human rights issues common to three generations of asylum seekers, drawing on intergenerational commonalities across time to show how lessons from these issues have not been taken by those who represent us".
print media award
Winner: Series of articles on asylum seeker issues - Russell Skelton, The Age
Russell Skelton's series of articles address the gap between Australia's immigration policy and its implementation. The judges described the articles as "powerful, informative and empathetic".
The lead report, Tales from Behind the Fence, was the first detailed account of conditions at Woomera based on evidence from those who worked inside. Other articles tackled the alleged persecution of non-Muslims in detention; the conflicted role of the Immigration Minister, who acts as official guardian to a group of unaccompanied minors from Afghanistan, and; the trial of the first person charged with people smuggling under legislation passed in 2001.

How Does Donating Help
No person has ever changed the history of the world alone. Behind every great leader has been a team of people dedicated to a single cause. Through their hard work, magnificent feats have been accomplished around the globe, including the creation of the light bulb, the Pyramids of Giza, the Burj Khalifa, and the Model T. PrISUm exists at Iowa State University as much more than a student organization one can join as a freshman, senior, or graduate student. PrISUm is an advanced Research and Design (R&D) project for the applications of renewable and automotive technology. Our members are dedicated, passionate, and skilled individuals who want to make an impact on the world around them. Through members' dedication, PrISUm is able to design, fabricate, and race our creation, raise capital, and share our story with millions, all while attending class as full-time students. Interested in joining? Drop us a line and learn more directly from a member.
Building a vehicle in two years take a momentous task, one that can only be completed through hard work, perseverance, and a passion for the task at hand.
In order to change the paradigm of transportation, we have to show the world that solar-powered vehicles are the future of mobility. Through our outreach efforts, PrISUm hopes to inspire future and current generations to build and drive vehicles like the ones we create.
No one knows what the future holds. Here at PrISUm, we hope to redefine what clean transportation stands for.
Since we are full-time college students, we here at PrISUm think it is important to show younger generations the importance of education. By connecting what we have learned in the classroom to a real-life problem, we hope to encourage students to challenge what they think is possible and pursue new answers through education.
As a non-profit organization, our ambitious goal of changing the paradigm of transportation is only possible through the help from our local community. Our open door policy allows any of our neighbors to drop by and check out what PrISUm is up to.
Where We're From
PrISUm members come from all over the globe. Utilize this map to see if someone from your town is helping change the paradigm of transportation!
Building a car from scratch is a momentous task. Leading the design, fabrication, and racing of PrISUm's vehicles takes time, dedication, and a passion for changing the future.
Smeet Mistry
Smeet Mistry - Project Director
What do you do for the team?
As Project Director, my job is similar to that of the CEO of a corporation. I ensure that the team accomplishes it mission to build a practical solar car that changes the paradigm of transportation and inspires future generations to pursue their passions through education. My direct responsibilities include sponsor and university relations, team administration and organization, fundraising, and facilitating the overall success of the team and project.
Why did you join PrISUm?
PrISUm seemed like an organization where innovation was fostered at all levels of the membership, whether that be from a brand new team member or someone in the leadership, people listened to your ideas and implemented them if they were good. I have stayed with PrISUm because my initial impression was true and because PrISUm is unlike most other organizations I know of in that we are truly changing the world in a measurable way.
Yana Aleksandrova
Yana Aleksandrova - Treasurer
I manage the finances of the team as Treasurer and I am also a member of the electrical team.
I joined PrISUm so I could apply the things I learned in the classroom to a real life situation and so I could grow as a professional.I wanted to join a club where I could apply what I learned in the classroom to a real-world scenario.
Sub-Teams
Just as in any corporation, PrISUm has divided its membership basis into sub-teams to better distribute the workload of building a car. Interested in working on one of these divisions? Contact the respective director and they will give you more information related to the subject.
The mechanical division completes a wide variety of projects in the design and manufacturing of the solar vehicle. For instance, the composites group uses cutting-edge composites processing techniques to manufacture lightweight yet strong parts, such as our monocoque chassis. The structures group designs the frame and conducts finite element analysis (FEA) to analyze crash scenarios. The dynamics group designs and tests the vehicle's control and drive systems to ensure good handling characteristics, safe braking performance, and maximum efficiency. The aerodynamics group designs the aeroshell for minimal drag, then tests the model in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. After these groups finalize their designs, the Mechanical sub-team takes on the role of manufacturing the solar car. From aluminium billet to rims, and rolls of carbon fiber to body panels, the mechanical team cuts, paints, and machines each component by hand or by CNC until the car is ready to race. The design of a car encompasses many systems that are seldom thought to provide the challenge they do. From headlights to brake lines, each part of the solar vehicle requires careful attention to detail which ensures the production of a high performing and reliable car. These many opportunities allow our members to take what they learned in the classroom to the next level. Our work with composites allows our members to apply material science principles with the help of professional composite manufacturers. The structures team is using advanced FEA analysis to simulate stresses and deflections to optimize and create a safer vehicle. Many members of the mechanical team are given the chance to apply a variety of subjects taught in class to the design of parts. In addition, our vehicle dynamics testing gives members hands-on experience fixing and tuning a race vehicle.

As Assistant Mechanical Director my duties include timeline management, project management, sub team management, supporting sub teams with any help needed, material acquisition, and learning about all the mechanical systems on P15 to put forward onto P16.
I joined PrISUm to to be a part of the solution to a current world wide problem. PrISUm is showing the world that it is very possible to change the paradigm of transportation through a practical solar car and I wanted to contribute to this solution.
Sean Collins
Aerodynamics Manager
Sean Collins - Aerodynamics Manager
I manage the projects of the aerodynamics group with the main project being the aeroshell, or body of the car. It is my job to ensure that all of the important parts that go inside our car can fit within the outside aeroshell and ensure that the aeroshell is aerodynamic enough to compete in the race.
When I joined PrISUm, the team was starting to design the first car that would compete in the World Solar Challenge, Penumbra. I was inspired by what the team had done with Phaeton and what the team was aspiring to do in the future and was hooked.
Brandon Steffensmeier
Dynamics Manager

Molds Manager
Christopher Weisbein - Molds Manager
As the Molds Manager I lead the team that is the intersection of design and manufacturing. Our members are responsible for taking designs and creating molds that will be used to create every carbon fiber, fiberglass, and thermoformed plastic part for the car.
I joined PrISUm because the community strives to inspire the innovation of solar energy as the future of transportation. PrISUm believes in changing the world, while also creating amazing opportunities for everyone involved. I saw this strong reason of "why" within PrISUm, a reason that I too believe in. I then decided to join and commit myself to this team that will innovate, and inspire, something greater than I could ever do alone.
Sarah Leahy
Composites Manager
The electrical division designs, manufactures, integrates, and tests all the electrical components of the vehicle, including the battery pack, solar array, control systems, motors, and connected features of the solar vehicle. This requires a broad range of work, from Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design to high-level software. Almost all of the electronics on our vehicles are designed and manufactured by team members on both a hardware and software level. Our goal is to produce the most efficient and reliable system for powering, controlling, and monitoring the vehicle. A consistently reliable electrical system can drastically change the results of a race. Furthermore, as the team is moving towards a more practical design, increasingly complex and smarter electronics are being put in the vehicle. These issues challenge our members to become masters of skills that are seldom covered in the classroom, including advanced embedded systems, PCB design, and complex software systems. Therefore, the electrical team serves as a training ground for some of the brightest electrical, computer, and software engineers at Iowa State University.

I joined PrISUm as a freshman because of the passion shown by all the team members I talked to. I wanted to be a part of the project that so many people were excited about doing and proud to be a part of. In addition, PrISUm's electronic team's culture of custom building and designing every circuit board in our car was something that I loved, as a someone who really wanted to get involved in that sort of work.
Jake Aunan
Assistant Electrical Director
Jake Aunan - Assistant Electrical Director
My role as the assistant electrical director involves working with the electrical director on high level tasks like project creation, making sure the electrical team is staying on track with our timeline, and training new members. I also manage and work on various projects, primarily working on software.
I joined PrISUm because I knew that it would be the most rewarding way to spend my time while at Iowa State. I had heard about what the team had accomplished in the past, and knew what they hoped to accomplish moving forward. I could not pass on the opportunity to be a part of this teams amazing legacy and do things I never dreamed of doing while at college. It is also a great way to meet and make friends extremely passionate and talented people.
Ben Kenkel
Ben Kenkel - Software Manager
I work with the Electrical Team to develop systems including our dash displays, vehicle indicators, and our in-vehicle infotainment display. I have gotten many great opportunities through working with the team including managing projects and leading discussions with partners of the team which have been great ways to grow both as a student and as an engineer. I have enjoyed being involved in parts of the car ranging all the way from turn signals to future car planning.
I joined PrISUm because I had heard about the team in the past and I was looking for a way to gain hands on experience with what I was learning in the classroom. PrISUm stood out because of many things including the focus towards education, renewable energy, and doing what other teams wont.

As one of the managers for the electrical team, I ensure that projects I manage are done well and in a timely manner. I also act as a resource to learn about tools the electrical team uses.
I joined Team PrISUm because of my passion for the future of renewable energies. I also am passionate for electrical engineering and designing electrical systems. Between the two, PrISUm is a great match, and I have learned a lot about management and electrical engineering.
Bryan Kalkhoff
Bryan Kalkhoff - Hardware Manager
I lead a small team of electrical members to design and test circuit boards
I wanted to reinforce what I was learning in the classroom
The systems division supports the team in a variety of areas. Early in the design phase, they spearhead an effort to make preliminary decisions which set criteria for design groups later on. As the team moves into its full design phase, this division establishes a primary focus on the design and integration of electrical-mechanical systems on the vehicle to avoid costly oversights. In addition, they take on the responsibility of coordinating the deadlines between the electrical and mechanical sub-groups. This is essential to ensuring that parts of the car such as the door latches, infotainment center, steering, and board mounting are not only designed to support each other but are also prototyped, manufactured and assembled to meet the timeline requirements. Like any car on the road today, there are both complex electrical and mechanical parts that make up many of its functions. It is important that the systems which rely on both types of components properly integrate within the rest of the vehicle.
Andrew Kraus
Systems Director
Andrew Kraus - Systems Director
As systems director of the team I work between the mechanical and electrical teams to makes sure that both are communicating and both teams have the information and resources they need to be productive. Alongside that I deal with our master assembly as well as making sure the team is staying on our timeline and if not figuring out why that is.
I joined PrISUm because it seemed like a really cool project. I'm big into green energy and really wanted to find a way to do as much with it as I could. I never thought I'd be doing something as cool as this though.
Manas Mahaddalkar
Manas Mahaddalkar - Design Director
I develop engineered transportation design concepts under the constraints determined by the regulations and sub teams. I lead and formulate design task forces which include getting industrial design students to work in conjuncture with engineering students to produce an optimum outcome. I work both on the interior and exterior elements of the car and make sure that we produce an outcome that has both form and function.
I was always fond of transportation systems and design, especially automotive design. While i was learning the functionality aspect of it as a mechanical engineer, i always felt the need to learn and try out the design side of it. PrISUm provided the perfect opportunity to try out and apply this passion. Moreover, I feel that an engineering background gives me an edge over the decision-making process concerning design and help me become a better communicator between design and engineering.
Emma Onstad
Safety Director
Emma Onstad - Safety Director
I work with our EH&S contact to manage the team's workspace, make sure everyone has completed the required safety training, and make safety information more accessible to the team.
I enjoy working on large-scale team projects outside school and PrISUm is also a way for me to apply what I learn in industrial engineering to real situations. I also believe the team's mission to change the paradigm of transportation is an incredible goal. We strive to not just build a car to race, but to build an innovative car that inspires others.
Adam Barkema
Adam Barkema - Safety Manager
I work with the Safety Director to make sure all things safety are in place while assisting in other mechanical projects for the car.
I joined to be apart of a fun club that will allow me to strengthen my engineering skills and meet new people! Solar Car offers these and many more possibilities while changing the paradigm of solar cars.
The business division deals with the team's fundraising, marketing, and community outreach. Regardless of how much work the members of the team put into designing a car, it would be impossible to build without the funds to do so. Since PrISUm is a non-profit organization and relies solely on our partners, it is one of the functions of the business division to be continually building connections and reaching out to new companies. PrISUm works to build and maintain our public image. The business division works to ensure that the team maintains a sense of professionalism aligned with our values and mission. Additionally, outreach is another main purpose of the business division. At outreach events throughout the state of Iowa, team members educate the community about renewable energy and the future of transportation. Visit the outreach page to learn more!
Elizabeth Walters
Elizabeth Walters - Business Director
As business director, I manage functions of the team such as marketing, public relations, fundraising, sponsor relations, and more. Ultimately, the business team wants to spread awareness of the work PrISUm is doing and get others to believe in our mission.
I joined PrISUm because it seemed like a unique opportunity to apply my interest in marketing in a hands-on way. The team is doing amazing, real things to change the paradigm of transportation and being able to help make that happen is accomplishing. On this team I am constantly learning, having fun, and being challenged, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Faculty Advisers
While students can build a car, it takes a lot of behind the scenes work to create a successful organization. Thanks to the dedication of PrISUm's faculty advisers, members are able to gain access to valuable resources throughout Iowa State University. Whether it is pointing out flaws in our rolling resistance calculations or explaining Color Theory, our advisers guide our organization to new heights.
Dr. Emmanuel Agba
Senior Lecturer - Mechanical Engineering
In 2010, Emmanuel Agba accepted an invitation to travel with the solar car team to the 2010 American Solar Challenge, and immediately after the race, he was invited to join the team as a faculty advisor. Emmanuel Agba has an academic background in design and manufacturing, professional experience in the industry (including more than 8 years in the automobile industry), several years of teaching experience, and personal interest in alternative sources of energy.

Annular Solar Eclipse ~ April 29 2014
Annular Solar Eclipse on April 29th at 4:17pm (AEST)
So how are you faring in the midst of this group of powerful planetary, and lunar aspects? (see my last article)
The Solar Eclipse tomorrow marks a brief end to an intensive regrouping, letting go, opening up and staying true to yourself, courtesy of the Cardinal Grand Cross we had last week, and the ongoing relationship between Uranus and Pluto (until March next year).
It brings with it the possibility to shift your consciousness. Eclipses usually bring disruption, so use this time to interrupt your usual ways of operating and dealing with situations, which perhaps haven't been as effective as you would like. Allow for other possibilities to unfold. Always with the intention for the best outcome for all concerned ofcourse.
Surrender to the force of change which is in the air and stay conscious.
The emphasis of the Annular Solar Eclipse does seem to be on relationships and how we experience what we call love. Stand back for a moment and ask yourself about the nature of love. Is the love you share with your significant other and your close friends governed by attachment and fear? Or is it a blending of great souls who bring more than the sum of each into the picture in an overflowing of inclusive humanitarian and compassionate love?
The eclipse, which is a new moon, is in Taurus. And Venus the ruler of Taurus is in Pisces. Enquire into the nature of your love. Is it about indulging in the senses, reveling in sensual bliss and delights. Or is it about a bigger picture and a sense of belonging to the whole? Either way, and with an unconditional heart allow your curiosity to linger on these questions.
Some more thoughts about tonight's Lunar Eclipse
The Lunar Eclipse 15th April 2014 (AEST 5:45pm)
Early this evening the Sun and Moon will oppose each other in such a way that as the Earth will be between them it will cast its shadow on the moon creating what some people call a 'blood moon'.
To esoteric astrologers this is a period when a portal opens for Earth and galactic frequencies become more readily available for us to attune ourselves to.
We are very definitely in a time when big change and shifts in consciousness are happening, and very fast. The Lunar Eclipse always signifies a time for us to allow baggage from the past to surface and be released so that new forms of energy can run our bodies and psyche's. This is a wonderful opportunity to allow ourselves to surrender to the notion that we are all One and part of the same Universe, and yet we are paradoxically also here to express the unique essence of ourselves as facets of the Universe/consciousness/God/all-that-is. The Lunar Eclipse allows our minds to for a moment, be overshadowed by what is so vast and boundless, and so much larger than our programming, belief systems, cultural and societal influences, and get an inkling into what this means.
With this Lunar Eclipse, which is conjunct the Moon's nodes (aka The Dragon's head and tail) Mercury is conjunct Uranus and Venus is conjunct Neptune and approaching Chiron.
Both these inner planets, who orbit even closer to the Sun (the ego) than we do here on Earth, and in conjunction with outer planets which represent the respective higher vibration.
Any involvement with the Moon's Nodes guarantees that there's Soul growth happening.
Our Souls longing for expansion of awareness, growth and reconciliation with Oneness. Mercury conjunct Uranus means brilliant breakthroughs into new fields, ideas and thought processes, sudden flashes of genius and or break-aways from the accepted or conventional norms. Opportunities for whole new thinking pathways as the nervous system gets its flash of inspiration from higher frequencies. Uranus is the 'higher octave' of Mercury, it brings higher intelligence to everyday thinking processes, and in Aries, pioneering into new realms.
Then there's Venus conjunct Neptune in Pisces, and approaching Chiron (exact conjunction Monday 21st April). Here is the portal to the highest compassion and forgiveness, the beauty of Piscean faith and wisdom, the healing of old wounds which Chiron presides over. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, raising earthy sensual love into compassion, kindness and forgiveness.
Over the next week or so we are being given the opportunity to heal our relationships by calling in that part of our hearts which does not judge, and which knows that we are all doing our best with what we have available to us. The beautiful acceptance and opening that can happen by bringing this kind of awareness to all your relationships will reverberate for many months, and shape-shift your ability to share love.
This Lunar Eclipse is on the doorstep of the Cardinal Grand Cross, which I wrote about in the previous article, and this wave of transformational energy peaks between 20th-24th April and then gathers itself into the Solar Eclipse which is happening on the 29th April here in Australia. More about that in the next few weeks.
Feel free to talk about what you are experiencing here.
Happy evolving!
April 2014, a big month coming up.
In April 2014, expect evolutionary breakthroughs and important events.
'Autumn - Sonoma County', 78 x 32", by Janet Windsor
The Virgo/Pisces full moon on March 16th was in a close square to the Galactic Centre at 27˚ Sagittarius, the heart of the Milky Way. Any alignment with the Galactic Centre provides tremendous energetic support for releasing old belief systems which have held us back from being on track with the expression of our essential selves. The opportunity was available for us to detach from our emotional reactions and spinning thoughts, and sit back as the impartial observer noticing that the power of that is so much more sustaining than the transitory dramas and events unfolding in our daily lives. At this stage Jupiter in Cancer is still moving into its square to Uranus in Aries and is giving momentum to the restless impartial and objective awareness that must precede the release of old beliefs and paradigms.
These signs portend that a lot of release could happen, and the unraveling of outmoded behaviors and reactions to our unfolding revolution in consciousness. I have heard from many friends and students that they felt a shift, like the freedom of seeing things in a fresh way has arrived or is at least palpable now.
As I write I can feel the collective emotional sphere growing thick and deep as the Moon enters Scorpio and we are confronted by our need for control, tempered by a watery grand trine with Mercury and Neptune in Pisces, Saturn in Scorpio and Jupiter in Cancer, we get a sense of the whole and our part in it, how much can we give and receive. If we allow ourselves to go beyond the rational and into the mystery as a form of reality, we will be able to accept that things are not always as they seem to the logical linear mind. The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 is reminding us that not everything can be so easily explained.
These were the conditions present as we entered into the new astrological year on Friday morning (AEST), the Sun went into Aries and the Zodiac life cycle starts up again. The dark side of Aries is impatience, selfishness and insensitivity, but Aries is also the initiator, the pioneer who reminds us to be living in the present, free to create a more exciting and relevant future. Mars, the ruler of Aries is retrograde in Libra (until 20th May 2014), and tempers the usual forthright assertiveness of Aries which is already being somewhat softened by the watery trines, and Libra's love of peace, which may be just as well with the trouble that's brewing with Russia's invasion of Crimea.
The New Moon on March 31st ~ 10˚Aries will be the catalyst for the important Grand Square of Uranus, Pluto, Jupiter and Mars which occurs between 20-23rd April. (* see reference below)
We will start sensing the upheavals being predicted by many astrologers at present, whether they're sociological or seismic, there will be more of the shaking up which we're becoming used to from the powerful square between Uranus and Pluto which started in 2012. The New Moon here is conjunct Uranus, and square Pluto and Jupiter. Mercury, Chiron and the Path of Fortune in Pisces are sitting on the ascendant for the new moon (5:48am AEDT), which I think will mean old issues to do with communications (or the lack thereof) will be brought up, and new information will release previously delicate matters for them to be brought up to the surface and integrated. It is an Aries New Moon afterall, so a good time to initiate new beginnings, allow your vision to cut forward into new territory.
On April 15th there will be a total Lunar Eclipse (5:45pm AEDT), visible along the East Coast of Australia if there is no cloud cover, at 25˚ Libra. Here there are quite a few oppositions amongst the Asteroids Vesta, Ceres and Juno, suggesting there could be issues and or awakenings for women and women's issues. Also this Full Moon is closely connected to the Moon's North and South Nodes, which means we could draw on some of our deeper DNA knowling and work within our souls to move forward into the new world.
The day when the big Cardinal Cross (*) will be closest is on April 22, at 13˚ of Cardinals, those people born in Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn at around 3rd or 4th April, July, October and January will be most powerfully affected by this, although we'll all experience a revolution on some level, as the struggles for power, the breaking down of old world institutions and the status quo, personal and collective breakthroughs, the willingness and courage to try new things continues on its trajectory. This time with Mars and Jupiter involved with the Uranus/Pluto square, and the affects could be direct and expansive. Hold onto your hats!
In the midst of the Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter T-Square on the 29th April, a rare Annular Solar eclipse (A solar eclipse in which the moon covers all but a bright ring around the circumference of the sun.) at 4:17 pm (AEDT) and at 9˚ Taurus, should also be visible depending on how clear the sky is. This Full Moon will keep the energy going of the Uranus/Pluto square, amplifying the effects, as does Jupiter who is still within orb.
April 2014 is a very big month in our cosmic neighbourhood, astrologers have been talking about it for years. The revolution in consciousness is coming to a head, and big events politically, sociologically and/or seismically are being predicted. If you've been clearing the decks of outworn beliefs, and debris from you past, you will be able to take on board the possibility of evolutionary awakenings and movements towards our new Earth (if you haven't read Eckhart Tolle's 'The New Earth', do read it now!)
Powerful Capricorn Super Moon kicks off 2014
May all your dreams be manifested
We're in for a rapidly shifting and turbulent or exciting 2014, which gets its catalyst to begin the roller coaster ride on 1st January with the Capricorn new moon, the year's first Supermoon, and a trigger point for the revolutionary Uranus/Pluto trajectory we find ourselves part of until 2015.
The new moon in Capricorn is accompanied by Mercury and Pluto as one of the corners of a Cardinal grand cross of: Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer and Mars in Aries. (very closely associated to each other until January 15th)
The Cardinal signs are about action and moving forward, and Capricorn being the Earth sign in this quadrant is about manifesting. Traditionally depicted as the goat with a fish's tail, climbing one-step-at-a-time up the mountain, the fish's tail keeping it immersed in the collective psyche and dreaming, the 'ocean' of our collective consciousness. Capricorns are not impulsive like Aries, they act out of their knowing, closely weaving their vision with practical realities.
This new moon is really about resetting your intentions, and following through with actions based on your core values. Venus, which is about our values, relationships to one another, as well as the creative process of bringing things together, went retrograde in Capricorn December 21st, heralding a time for us to go within and examine what our own values are, aside from how we've been conditioned or influenced by our peers and times. When re-setting your intentions take into account where you are now in your life, leave behind a self-image you may have constructed for yourself in the past, and look plainly and truthfully at your present life. Capricorn's ruler, Saturn is in still Scorpio, paring back what is unnecessary or ephemeral.
Saturn austere in his approach to reality, and with this powerful Cardinal grand cross in play for the first two weeks of 2014, when traditionally people are trying to keep to their New Year's resolutions, is the time to be realistic about what you want, what role you can contribute to the New World which employs your greatest talents and skills. Add to this mix the Mercury and Pluto conjunction to the new moon, and you get the opportunity to get a mental picture of how things can be, when you discard the superfluous or non-functional, those ideas you had which are now maybe obsolete. Keep things simple and straight. Write a list of your priorities, so as to inform your values. Allow Pluto to help you face hidden belief systems you may have been living from which no longer serve you.
Let go to the massive shift in consciousness that is happening to life on Earth. Trust yourself, the voice of your instincts, Capricorn is straight and conservative, and will not suffer fools.
So many of the institutions and established protocols our civilization has relied on for thousands of years to prop up the infra-structure of the way we 'do business' are falling apart and losing credibility, we have to be able to trust ourselves, and that's why an examination of your core values based on instinctive knowledge now, will support your intentions for 2014.

Q: Average sum ignoring max or min I want to use AVG to get the average of some values, but ignoring the max and min values only if they are 1.5 bellow or above the second max and min values. I will put some examples:
Example 1:
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT 100.5 v FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 101.5 v FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 103.1 v FROM DUAL ) D

I need this result, ignoring the 103.1 value:
100.5
101.5

Example 2:
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT 100.5 v FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 101.5 v FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 103.1 v FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 106.2 v FROM DUAL) D

I need this result, ignoring only the 106.2 value:
100.5
101.1
103.1

Example 3:
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT 100.0 v FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 102.0 v FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 103.0 v FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 105.0 v FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 107.0 v FROM DUAL) D

I need this result, ignoring 100.0 and 107.0 values:
102.0
103.0
105.0

When there is only two values it doesnt matter.
With the right result, I can AVG(value) correctly.

A: You need a combination of analytic functions (lead/lag) and conditional aggregation. Here's what I came up with. Note that I allow for multiple groups, the "adjusted" average must be computed for each group separately (a common task in statistics when you must throw out the outliers in each group, when they exist):
with
     inputs ( id, val ) as (
       select 101, 33   from dual union all
       select 102, 23   from dual union all
       select 102, 22.8 from dual union all
       select 103, 30   from dual union all
       select 103, 40   from dual union all
       select 104, 90   from dual union all
       select 104, 92   from dual union all
       select 104, 92   from dual union all
       select 104, 91.5 from dual union all
       select 104, 91.7 from dual
     )
-- End of simulated inputs (for testing only, not part of the solution).
-- SQL query begins BELOW THIS LINE. Use your actual table and column names.
select    id,
          avg ( case when cnt >= 3
                        and ( lag_val is null and lead_val - val >= 1.5
                              or
                              lead_val is null and val - lag_val >= 1.5
                            )
                     then null
                     else val
                end
              ) as adjusted_avg_val
from      (
            select id, val, count(val) over (partition by id) as cnt,
                   lag  ( val ) over ( partition by id order by val ) as lag_val,
                   lead ( val ) over ( partition by id order by val ) as lead_val
            from   inputs
          )
group by id
;

Output:
 ID  ADJUSTED_AVG_VAL
---  ----------------
101                33
102              22.9
103                35
104              91.8

A: Try using the following combination of row_number lead and lag
with cte as (
SELECT 100.5 v FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 101.5 v FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 103.1 v FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 106.2 v FROM DUAL)
-- end of sample data
select avg(v)
from
(
  select row_number() over (order by v desc) arn,
         row_number() over (order by v) drn,
         lag(v) over (order by v) av,
         lead(v) over (order by v) dv,
         v
  from cte
) t
where (arn != 1 and drn != 1) or        -- if they are no maximum nor minumum
        (drn = 1 and v + 1.5 > dv) or   -- if they are minimum
        (arn = 1 and v - 1.5 < av) or   -- if they are maximum
        (av is null and arn < 3) or     -- if there are just two ore one value
        (dv is null and drn < 3)        -- if there are just two ore one value

A: In SQL you simply just need to express the result, so ...
WITH D as(
SELECT  100.0 v FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 102.0 FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 103.0 FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 105.0 FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 107.0 FROM DUAL)
SELECT  avg(v)
FROM D
where (v < (select max(v) from D )
       and ((select max(v) from D )
            -(select max(v) from D where v !=
              (select max(v) from D ) ) > 1.5))
or
(v > (select min(v) from D )
       and ((select min(v) from D )
            +(select min(v) from D where v !=
              (select min(v) from D ) ) > 1.5))

... should do the trick!
But thinking ahead... the below version may also be useful ;)
  WITH D as(
    SELECT 1 PK, 100.0 v FROM DUAL UNION
    SELECT 1,102.0 FROM DUAL UNION
    SELECT 1,103.0 FROM DUAL UNION
    SELECT 1,105.0 FROM DUAL UNION
    SELECT 1,107.0 FROM DUAL)
    SELECT  PK,avg(v)
    FROM D
    where (v < (select max(v) from D group by PK)
           and ((select max(v) from D group by PK)
                -(select max(v) from D where v !=
                  (select max(v) from D group by PK) group by PK) > 1.5))
    or
    (v > (select min(v) from D group by PK)

Having recently had a baby, I have been quickly reminded and yet still astounded by how much laundry such a little person generates.
Prior to the birth of little man, it was Mr. B, mini-me and I and we could usually wait until the weekends before doing 1-3 loads of laundry. Even with that amount, I could barely stay on top of folding and putting away but now, well, now we've entered a whole other territory.
Since we brought little man home I swear I am doing a load of laundry a day.
Little man is a spitter-upper so that's a factor. Then there's the whole 'I like to projectile pee every time you change my bum' thing. Oh, and the breastfed baby poop. I forgot about breastfed baby poop.
Not surprising, between caring for little man and attempting to entertain mini-me, the unfolded laundry is mounting (hey, it's clean, so that's gotta count for something). I will catch up one day... who am I kidding? I'm destined to have baskets full of clean, unfolded laundry in my bedroom for life.
Use baby-friendly detergent - these wee creatures have crazy soft but sensitive skin so it's best to (at least initially) stick with a detergent free of dyes and tons of chemicals. Most brands have a 'free and clear' line that works well. My favorite detergent for little man's clothes is Rockin' Green. We use the one for hard water but there's a number of options. It smells good, cleans amazing and I've had no issues with sensitivities with either child or Mr. B or I.
Rinse IMMEDIATELY - I cannot stress this enough, especially if we're talking about poop and specifically poop from a breastfed babe. Breastfed baby poop is water soluble so if you rinse right away, you should be okay; however, if you let it sit, you're going to have a shirt (be it yours, or your littles) with a nice yellow stain.
Pre-treat stains - if you really can't rinse right away you're going to need to attempt to beat that stain another way. I have OxiClean spray handy in the laundry room. It's a must have. It usually is enough to get the stain out. Sadly though, we've still lost a few cute clothes due to pesky set-in stains.
Stain-fight on-the-go - personally, I'm a big fan of the Tide to go stick; however, they add up in price and I've noticed if I use it on white, I sometimes get a lasting yellow stain where I've used the stick. The best and most cost effective way to fight stains while out and about? Make your own to-go stain remover. It's as easy as picking up a spray bottle from the dollar store and mixing 3 parts water to 1 part detergent. Easy peasy.
Wash before wear - okay, I'll admit, I didn't know this prior to actually having kids (and googling EVERYthing) but newly purchased clothes come with all kinds of chemicals on them. For the most part, I always wash the kids' clothes prior to them putting them on.

Financing the Social State: Towards a full employment economy
Murphy, R. & Reed, H. (2013). Financing the Social State: Towards a full employment economy. London, UK: The Centre for Labour and Social Studies.
There is no doubt that Beveridge saw idleness as the curse of unemployment that had afflicted so many in the 1930s. The cure to idleness was work, and Beveridge believed that the state should make sure work was available for all who wanted it. His thinking was clearly a product of his era. Writing in 1942 he was influenced by the war, but he was also heavily influenced by the thinking of Keynes. Beveridge accepted Keynes' logic and believed that a government could and should tackle this issue to ensure full employment was achieved. A Social State for 2015 has to be built upon a series of assumptions: 1. That those who would wish to work and who are denied the opportunity to do so are prejudiced against as a result; 2. Leaving people unemployed when they could be and want to be working is economically irresponsible; 3. The vast majority of people who are unemployed have to be fed, housed, clothed, educated and be provided with health care and other services when unemployed. As such unemployment has a double cost to society; the unemployed person is maintained and yet makes no direct contribution to economic well being within the economy whilst society suffers the social consequences of the idleness it has imposed; 4. The inequality of economic treatment between those in and out of work imposes a social cost both on those suffering the impact of that inequality directly and on society at large; 5. Unemployment denies people the chance to fulfil their potential, at least part of which is realised for most people through the process of work. This imposes costs beyond the lost value of economic output. For these reasons we believe it makes economic, environmental, social and medical sense to tackle unemployment whilst equity, justice and social harmony are also enhanced.

Debunking Fully Cooked "Hockey Puck" Burgers | Butcher Block with a Side of Farming!
So, by now (unless you've been hiding under a rock somewhere) we all know that ground beef should be fully cooked to 160˚F before consuming to ensure safety. Cooking to an internal temp of 160˚F ensures that any nasties that may be present will be destroyed. We call this a "lethality step". I recommend you use it regardless of what type of ground beef you are preparing.
I hear grumbles already! I've heard it time and time again...charred, overcooked, hard as a rock, hockey puck, you name it.
Not so, I say! You've just been using the WRONG burger! See, I've been eating fully cooked burgers for eons and they are always juicy and delicious.
I was doing some quality checks at the meat shop on some ground beef that we had just processed. I always test a sample, cook it, taste it, and evaluate it. Yeah, I know. It's a terrible job! Basically, if I won't eat it then I'm not selling it to you. Hmmm, I thought to myself. Hey! This would be the perfect time to show the juicilicousness of a fully cooked burger… IF you use the right meat from the get go!
This particular ground beef was from cattle that were entirely pasture, forage, silage finished. These are raised without the use of antibiotics or growth hormones. We also single source our ground meat, never jumbled up w/a gadzillion different sources. I ran a fat analysis on my burger and came to a conclusion of 85/15 lean to fat ratio. This was perfect for me because this is exactly how I like it! Anything leaner and well, yeah you might end up with a hockey puck.
AND, the burger did NOT disappoint!
C'mon into my test kitchen. Well, not really. It's technically our break room but it serves the purpose and test kitchen sounds swanky!
I pre-heated my handy dandy electric skillet to about 375˚F give or take.
Just about ready to flip! Remember not to keep flip flopping your patties. Just one flip will do!
Just look at that beautiful browning. Seriously YUM!!
OK, so I'm not a food photographer! I can't be Ms. Wonderful at everything. Gimme a break already!
At least you can see that the internal temp of my luscious burger is beyond 160˚F. It's perfectly safe and I can feel confident serving this to my very own children. Also, take note of how clean the plate is.
Now for the real test! I hope you can see this. It was hard to show just how juicy it was. I took my spatula and mushed it for you. I hope you can see the juices running out.
Check out the plate now! Yes, all of those juices came from my FULLY COOKED to an internal temperature of 160˚F burger.
I mean really! Can you stand it! That's one scrumptious FULLY COOKED grass finished burger! Voila!
P.S. You can pick yours up at our meat shop today! But hurry.
I'm jealous as mine were done at night, so couldn't get good "juicey" photos!
It's hard to get pics of "juicy" clear juices, huh.
Hey, can you post a link to your fully cooked burger? That'd be great!
Is it weird that I enjoy eating very well cooked and charred ground beef patties by themselves? I'm not exactly sure why. Sometimes they can taste a bit too much like coal ash, and to be clear, I'm talking about stove top pan fried patties.


Back from vacation and the kids are back to school (sing with me,"it's the most wonderful time of the year" ) I had a great time in New Brunswick. The water was wonderful, the temperature ideal and the people very friendly. Last night I was able to finish my Mermaid wall hanging ( it need a name so if you have a suggestion ....usually it come to me when I am working on a piece but I am still stuck.) well it is not DONE done. I still have to do beads embroidery to give it the humpf it need but I at least can put it on my daughter's wall.
