The city of Port St. Joe figures to save hundreds of thousands of dollars by performing a bulk of the second phase of water pipe replacement in-house.
A pilot project along Marvin Avenue completed this week has demonstrated that the Public Works Department can cut it on the concrete slicing and pipe replacement cheaper and faster than a contractor.
That will mean the city will use Public Works to complete roughly half of the four miles of pipe to be replaced this year as part of the second phase of replacement.
Public Works director John Grantland said his crew could likely perform much of the work in the third and final phase.
"I couldn't be more proud of my staff," Grantland said. "Our skill set has changed. We have several employees who worked for contractors and we can do more work than a contractor and we can do it faster and save money."
The Marvin Avenue section between Sixth and Tenth Streets was finished in roughly four days, Grantland said, and at a fraction of the cost - $26,000 compared to a $95,000 bid for the work.
Commissioner Rex Buzzett also praised employees for their commitment to the city.
"It makes me feel better as a commissioner and a taxpayer that they are feeling such pride in their city," Buzzett said.
The city will still bid out – and did so formally during Tuesday's regular bi-monthly meeting – a portion of the second phase, primarily areas around Port St. Joe Elementary School and adjoining streets as well as the area around the former Gulf Pines Hospital.
That will include Juniper, Sunset Circle and 20th Street.
The State Revolving Fund has guaranteed a $1 million "forgiveness" loan and an $800,000 loan for the city to finish the second phase.
Grantland and his team will concentrate primarily along Marvin, Long Avenue, U.S. 98 and adjoining and intersecting streets.
"We think we will be able to save several hundred thousand dollars," said city manager Jim Anderson.
Grantland said the savings could top half a million dollars.
Commissioners also approved Tuesday going out for bid for materials for that replacement work.
In addition, work will begin this summer on the first phase of replacement in the neighborhood of North Port St. Joe, which is being funded by a $650,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).
The city has already held a first public hearing in the process to apply for another CDBG to finish the North Port St. Joe section next year.
In total, pipe replacement will be taking place throughout the city proper on three fronts over the next year; a contractor to be selected by bid, Public Works and the contractor working under the CDBG, Anderson said.
"This will be a major undertaking," Anderson said. "There will be a lot of construction. This will be a year-long major project. There will be major inconvenience."
But, Anderson said, once the second phase is completed roughly 95 percent of the residential areas of Port St. Joe will be completed as part of the city's effort to replace some 20 miles of aging pipe that is seen as a possible culprit to chronic problems with discolored water.
On another front, sampling has been completed on a water study being performed by CDM Smith, the contractor that designed the city's three-year-old water plant.
The samples have been forwarded to Virginia Tech University for analysis. Clay Smallwood with Preble Rish Engineers said they expect to have a report from CDM in the next few weeks.
The hope is that the pilot testing of the system, from plant to home, will highlight issues with the water that could be addressed through tweaking the chemical treatment process.
*Mayor Mel Magidson encouraged everyone to attend and enjoy this Saturday's Music Fest at George Core Park. The lineup of acts has links to Port St. Joe and the concert, along with the selling of commemorative coins, is the major fundraising for the Centennial Celebration to begin June 28.
Music begins at 3 p.m. ET and the cost of admission is $10.

Can I charge more than one apple device on one of these?
I will be going to Europe next summer and I only want to have to buy one adapter for my i-devices. Will this charge my iPad mini and my iPhone 4?

It will charge our iPhone mini and iPhone 4, but as you know the mini takes the new Lighting connector. The cable that is supplied with this charger is a 30 pin connector for the iPhone 4, so you will have to also bring the Lighting charger cable that was supplied with the phone

The magic of color is that you can use it to make things appear different. By creating optical illusions, color has the power to change your visual perception of the shape and size of a room. For example: If you place same-size black and white squares side by side, the black square appears smaller than the white square. The white square lacks sharpness, so the eye automatically perceives it to lack boundaries and appear larger. Conversely, the eye focuses sharply on the black square and sees it as smaller.
Color Hue
The magical power of color extends to living spaces. Soft, lightly tinted, neutral and cool color tones make rooms, furniture and design elements seem larger because they visually recede. In addition, light colors make the best use of natural and artificial light by reflecting it back into the room. And just like walls, floors finished in light colors appear more spacious. However, not everyone can or wants to change or replace their flooring. When this is the case, you can still open things up with a large, light-colored area rug.
Color Saturation
A monochromatic room design – one that uses all the tints and shades of a single color – feels larger than one with varied colors, says Rosemary Sadez Friedmann, a member of the American Society of Interior Designers and president of Rosemary Sadez Friedmann Inc. So does a room with colors of even intensity, such as all bright or all washed colors. Why? Consistency of color reduces the eye's ability to perceive spatial dimensions, resulting in the appearance of spaciousness. In addition, the lack of color contrast yields a more subtle and peaceful energy.
Think of an all-white room with some off-white accents. It evokes a feeling of spaciousness, flow and calm. Then think of a room with a mixture of bright yellow and dark blue. While they can make for a fun, exciting, kinetic space, the contrasting colors make all the room's details pop, leading your eye to stop and start. This effect shrinks your impression of the room's space. Either room can be successful; the point is the color choices can help dictate visual space.
Additional Tips
Here are some additional ways to visually expand or modify space:
- Small, square rooms look bigger with two opposite walls of the same color, preferably an intense one. The color creates a feeling of depth, opening up the room. Similarly, a narrow room looks wider if the shorter walls are darker (they advance) and the longer walls are lighter (they recede).
- Another solution to small rooms is using gray or blue-gray as background colors. Grays have a "subtractive" influence on adjacent color, making it appear brighter.
- Lighting can also change the appearance of a room's dimensions. Lighting can include window light, wall color, reflective surfaces and artwork, as well as lamps and light fixtures. "Anytime you can modulate lighting and have different levels of lighting in one room, you will create more depth," says designer Christine Brun of Christine Brun & Associates.

raisindot wrote:Did anyone find the 'gotcha' moment when Vimes claimed to prove that Dragon had poisoned the candles to be a little bit lame?
After all, Vimes had been accusing him of poisoning the candles all along, and Dragon had been providing a rather strong alibi to prove he had nothing do with it.
I also found it quite a bit stretching that Dragon wouldn't have immediately known that Vimes was in his study when he returned. Or that he didn't immediately turn into a swarm of bats when Dorfl grabbed him. (How the Watch would have been able to even keep him inside a cell is a challenge in itself).
swreader wrote:JIB, I think you missed the point Terry was making here--the Dragon has been taunting Vimes with his link to the poisoned candles since the beginning because he believes Vimes is too dumb to see what he has put out for all to see. And Dragon as much as admits that his glance at the candles plus his "sudden weakness" means he knows about the candles. He denies their effect and also, and perhaps more importantly says "But who

From a procedural point of view, it's the equivalent of the last scene in a cop show when the suspect, who has effectively hidden his tracks to this time and looks like he can never be arrested, is about to be let go and then is tricked into admitting something about the murder that hasn't been released to the public and that only the murderer would have known.
A small point in the larger story, but since this is a literary discussion, it's fair game to bring up.
ChristianBecker wrote:As far as I understand raisindot, the problem is not the scene itself but that Vimes tells dragon about the poisoned candles and THEN says there's holy water in the room. Only THEN does Dragon look at the candles - which is kinda obvious when shortly before Vimes spoke about poisoned candles.
So the scene itself is OK, only Terry messed up the order a bit.
I still haven't finished rereading FoC, so I don't know if raisondot is right, but if it is indeed like he said, then he is.
L-Space wrote:+ [p. 258] "He landed on the king's back, flung one arm around its neck, and began to pound on its head with the hilt of his sword. It staggered and tried to reach up to pull him off."
In Robocop 2, our hero (Robo) jumped on the back of the 'Robocop 2' and tried to open its head.
+ [p. 260] "'They gave their own golem too many, I can see that."
The way the king golem is driven mad by the number of rules in its head reminded many people of a scene in Robocop 2, where Robocop is rendered useless by programming with several, partly conflicting rules. This slightly tenuous connection is reinforced by several further similarities between Dorfl and Robocop.
Never mind Robocop, however: one correspondent has posited that the entire candle factory sequence is a clever amalgam of the endings to both Terminator movies. I will let him explain this to you in his own words -- I couldn't bring myself to paraphrase or edit it down:
"The candle factory itself, with all the candle production lines is reminiscent of the robotics in the automated factory that Reese activates to confuse the Terminator. Throughout the candle factory scene, Carrot is Reese, Angua is Sarah Connor, the king switches between the original T-800 when fighting Carrot and the T-1000 from T2 when fighting Dorfl, who is the 'good' Terminator from T2.
Carrot is shot early on and has to be dragged around initially by Angua, much like the injured Reese has to be supported by Sarah. The following fight between Dorfl and the king is similar to the big T2 confrontation between the two Terminators, in which one of the combatants is able to 'repair' himself and thus has an advantage. When Dorfl is 'killed', his red eyes fade out just like a T-800s, but he is later able to come back to life. The T-800 achieves this by rerouting power through undamaged circuitry; Dorfl does it by getting the words from elsewhere (heart as opposed to head).
In T1, Reese finds a metal bar and tries to fight an opponent he can't possibly beat -- exactly as Carrot does. When Angua finds herself facing the injured king, it is similar to the scene in T1 after Reese's death, when the torso of the Terminator pulls itself along after the injured Sarah, grabbing at her legs (which the king also does to Angua). Then, Detritus' shot at the king, which has no effect, is like Sarah's last stand against the T-1000, when she runs out of ammo just at the crucial point. When it appears that the seemingly invincible king has survived everything and is about to finish the job and kill Carrot, the thought-to-be-dead Dorfl makes a last-gasp interjection which finally kills the king -- much like the resurrected Arnie appears just in time to kill the T-1000 in T2. Oh, and finally, the molten tallow that Cheery almost falls into is, of course, the molten metal at the end of T2."
cabbagehead wrote:A minor comment: Female vampires turn into a swarm of bats. Male vampires turn into a single bat - Dragon does that when he escapes from the candle factory (IIRC). I suppose by the time he realized Vimes had him figured out (and wasn't there merely to ask ignorant questions or anything like that) he was weakened enough not to be able to escape in that manner.

Great product at a good price
By Big Wave Dave
from Lower Delaware
About Me Avid Cyclist
Purchased this after a near miss. It's not getting any safer out there. The thinking is to be seen as much as possible, both the front and near light have a strobe setting. Use it on every ride. Could make rides safer.

I see the light!
By dRey
from Bloomfield, NJ
Recreational riding in town and on the trails. Purchased this light combo so I could be seen and also to illuminate my path when it starts to get dark or on early mornings. But I feel that the front light isn't bright enough for illuminating my path. Also, would have liked for it to be able to recharge the batteries via USB or an outlet.

good value from Nashbar
By vermont road biker
from brattleboro, vt
I bought this so cars would be able to see me, not for me to be able to see the road.....but I was suprised that the front light is very bright, and I imagine if I was out late on a summer evening, it may actually help me see any potholes in the road. I feel safe with this lights on my road bike.I clipped the near light on my saddle bag. I attached the front light on my handlebar along with a bike computer. I had to remove the reflectors that came with the bike.

Very Efficient Light Combo
By Dario Raleigh Rider
from Okotoks, Alberta Canada
About Me Commuter
I commute to work and found that early mornings are getting darker and darker, so I ordered this combo lights. It was a GREAT Value for the price and really happy with its efficiency. The beam from the front light is so wide and I can see the road in front of me clearly. The rear lights with its flashing is visible enough for cars to see me on the side of the road so they give me my space and veer around when they could. I'm totally impressed with these little gadgets. Nashbar has a great product here.
works surprisingly well so far
By Nick
from Frederick, MD
I have not had this product very long, so I can not comment on durability, how long the batteries last, etc... I can say that I was surprised at how much light the front light gives off. I purchased this product exclusively so that I can be seen by motorists at night, but the front light actually gives off a decent amount of light and helps me see where I am going. The back light works well too. As long as this product lasts and does not break, I will be very satisfied with it.
Nice and bright
By Steven
from Alabama
The rear red light is very bright. The front light is not so bright but I never ride at dusk or dim lighting. Some would probably like the front light to be brighter.
OK Light Set

Easy fit
By Hovis
from Sedro Woolley, WA
Use this on my trips on main roads. Lights are very bright and I find motorists pay more attention when I use the lights. Fewer close calls. Motorists today can be rude and inconsiderate but the lights have a calming affect on them. Easy install and I will see how the battery life will work out. I plan on using rechargeables.
Great Value
By prhkgh
from San Ramon, CA
I recently acquired a recumbent trike, as due to a stroke I can no longer ride on 2 wheels. The trike is low to the ground, and as much of my riding is on suburban streets I needed to increase my visibility to inattentive drivers. The red light is extremely bright even in strong sunlight. I use 2 of the front lights in flashing mode, to accentuate I'm wider than the average cyclist. I am very pleased with the attention these draw, I often get comments on how well they make me visible...the dual fast flashing looks like a cop car's white flashers in the dark. I could have spent hundreds on brighter night lights, but after extensive research these are most bang for the bucks.I have 100 mile on these on the orig batteries, but the fact they use regular batteries is also a benefit since I don't leave my driveway without these turned on.

FORT WALTON BEACH — A group of students at the University of West Florida Emerald Coast hope their recent efforts to educate their peers and the community on the benefits of natural gas will be enough to launch them into a national competition.
They are one of many university groups across the country vying to go to Washington, D.C., next month for the chance to create a new public relations campaign for the American Natural Gas Alliance.
It's taken a few months, a lot of brainstorming, some surveying and a lot of work, but students in the UWF marketing class think they might have landed on the golden ticket.
"We will be going to Washington, D.C., and we will be winning," stude0nt Robert Brownlee said with a smile.
Their campaign, "Natural Gas … the energy dream. Affordable. Reliable. Domestic," was settled on after finally getting the green light from officials at EdVenture Partners, an organization that connects schools with organizations such as American Natural Gas Alliance for real-life marketing experience.
"We've had some really great ideas that they didn't think were so great, so we tweaked them a little bit," said student Bryanna Andrews, who plans to go into marketing.
According to Susan Shaw, the professor overseeing the class, it's the third time students from the small campus have participated in the competition. They won the first time and were runner-up the second time. But that was five years ago with a different kind of marketing and a very different organization.
"It's been a tough case," Shaw said.
The biggest hurdle was overcoming the community's knowledge gap about natural gas, students said.
"You say natural gas and they think you turn on your stove, heat your home. That's it," said student Jerry Goodman.
But that's not all it powers, especially in Florida, where more than 50 percent of electricity starts with natural gas.
To help with the knowledge issue and their campaign, the students participated in the university's fall festival and set up a "Are you smarter than a fifth-grader?" game.
They also visited classrooms to discuss natural gas and held a panel discussion with local natural gas officials.
Their work will be put to the test next Friday when they turn over everything they've learned, along with the posters they created, to EdVenture Partners to find out whether or not they'll be off to Washington later in the month.
People can help boost the students' chances at one of the coveted top three spots by visiting the group's website and following the link to like it on Facebook.

Crackdown on Furness pub thugs is launched
Last updated at 16:05, Wednesday, 16 May 2012
LICENSEES have vowed to take a zero-tolerance approach on troublesome revellers who are travelling to Ulverston after being barred from pubs in the Barrow area.
Ulverston and District Licensed Vituallers and town Barwatch members are worried by the levels of people banned under Barrow and District Barwatch who are drinking in Ulverston at the weekends.
The publicans say Barrow and Dalton people have been involved in incidents in the town, and LVA and police say just a few weeks ago some disorder involved people from the Barrow Barwatch blacklist.
The town's Barwatch schemes are now linking up to share information.
Dave Mackenzie, landlord of The Sun Inn, in Market Street, Ulverston, and chairman of Ulverston and District Licensed Vituallers and Barwatch scheme has warned any trouble makers: "We know who you are, and we are watching."
On behalf of the LVA, he said: "At their monthly meeting on May 2 The Ulverston and District Licensed Vituallers expressed concern at the number of people who have been placed on the Barrow and District Barwatch Scheme coming into Ulverston on a Friday and Saturday.
"Over the last few months there has been a number of incidents involving people from Barrow and Dalton. While the LVA welcome custom into Ulverston they will not tolerate any anti-social behaviour. We have a successful Barwatch Scheme in Ulverston and District and anybody involved in any incidents in or around our public houses will find themselves banned from all 25 public houses who are members of our scheme."
Sergeant Chris O'Hare, of Ulverston police, said: "There have been some incidents of disorder with people who have been on Barrow Barwatch.
"Historically people do come to Ulverston as a change of scenery, we don't want disorder to come with it."
Sgt O'Hare said early intervention in night scene situations, and the use of police dispersal orders, which order people to leave the area, are being used successfully.
There are around 40 people on Barrow Barwatch and around 22 on Ulverston.
Mike Fallon, chairman of Barrow LVA, and a founder member of Barwatch, said the Barrow scheme would work with the Ulverston group.
Mr Fallon said: "We can give them the list of those on Barwatch so they are getting some warning."
The landlord of Barrow's Theatre Bar said every licensee has the right not to serve people.
But Mr Fallon said banned people, including those barred in Ulverston, will travel to other places to drink, but he said they do not necessarily go on to cause trouble elsewhere.

Have your say
My name is Terry and i also have many tight tops, but please don't tar me with the same brush as the maniacs mentioned.
Thanks Anon, I live in Barrow and hate the type that you mention. However you can't judge all of Barrow folk by the minority. Most of us are hard working, pleasant, law abiding people. If Barrow and Ulverston pubs work together (instead of assuming that Barrow are the underclass) then perhaps a decent plan of action can be put into place. It is rather offensive being tarred with the same brush as the druggies and criminals!

SANTA ROSA BEACH — Representatives from Okaloosa, Walton and Santa Rosa counties voted Friday to accept a lesser share of RESTORE Act funds so smaller counties among Florida's eight most impacted by the BP oil spill can receive more.
The Committee of Eight Disproportionally Affected Counties voted at its first and possibly last meeting to tweak a funding formula to split money coming to each county through the RESTORE Act.
The new formula calls for 20 percent of the total dollars that come to Okaloosa, Walton, Santa Rosa, Bay, Escambia, Gulf, Franklin and Wakulla counties to be divided equally.
The previous plan had 10 percent of the total pot being divided equally.
The rest of the money will be split up based on a formula that takes into account population, sales tax revenue and the amount of coastline affected by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Under the new formula, Okaloosa, Walton, Santa Rosa, Bay and Escambia will receive less money when the funds start flowing. Gulf, Franklin and Wakulla will receive more.
Each county still must approve the split.
The committee voted 7-0 to approve the new formula at its meeting at the South Walton Courthouse Annex. Franklin County representative Cheryl Sanders abstained.
"This gives you a little more and gives us a little less. And I'm fine with that," Bay County Commissioner Mike Thomas told Sanders.
U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland was credited with making the recommendation to increase the percentage of the total BP money going to each county. He did so after representatives from the smaller counties balked at the size of their shares.
"We did not feel the allocation formula benefitted Franklin County in the way it should," said Franklin County Commissioner Pinki Jackel, who attended Friday's meeting.
Gulf County representative Warren Yeager said Southerland asked committee members to take into account "fish landings" — the pounds of fish, shrimp and oysters harvested in the smaller counties.
If the plan voted on is approved by the eight counties, it will be sent to the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C., and implemented when fines are levied against BP for violations of the Clean Water Act, Okaloosa County Commissioner Dave Parisot said.
Under the old formula based on a $5 billion fine levied against BP, Okaloosa County would have received $32.7 million and Bay County would have gotten $32.4 million.
Under the new formula, Okaloosa and Bay would give up $700,000 of their share. Santa Rosa County would forego $500,000 and Walton $300,000.
Gulf County would get $14.1 million, or $1.4 million more than the original plan. Franklin would get $17.7 million, or $1.1 million more, and Wakulla would receive $10.4 million, or $2 million more.
The $5 billion figure is considered the lowest fine BP could face. A fine of up to $21 billion is possible.
Jackel said Franklin County officials had felt they needed a bigger cut of the money from the RESTORE Act to "accomplish what we need to obtain environmental and economic sustainability for our seafood and tourism industries."
Although Franklin County chose not to participate in Friday's vote, Jackel said the committee's new proposal would be taken to the county commissioners for consideration.
"Today improved our position considerably," she said.
The RESTORE Act, which was approved last year, calls for 80 percent of all of the fines levied against BP for its role in the oil spill to be distributed among the five Gulf Coast states.
The eight Northwest Florida counties directly touched by the oil spill will receive 75 percent of Florida's share.

study and exploration of the varied aspects of crime including the
process of defining crime; victimization and the response of the
criminal justice system to that victimization; the response of
society to crime, criminals, and victims; and exploring the various
reasons as to why people commit crime.

May 20, 2011Marinated Salad with Lettuce
I wanted a salad and decided to try another retro version. Definitely not the ranch laden salad I usually eat, but this was pretty good. It was almost like a 3 bean salad, but not as sweet. It also reminded me a bit of my friends home canned beans (to.die.for.). I think this is a really fun salad. It would be fun to make at a retro dinner party! Or, you could make it for your

"Lab's Chronic Ear Improves"
My Lab's last visit to the vet for red, inflamed ear cost $64. I ordere a bottle of Davis Ear/Med and flushed his ear well, keeping the liquid in for 5 mins., then letting him shake. Next day, noticeably less redness. Am using it daily until ear completely normal. What an incredible product, guaranteed to keep me out of the poorhouse!
"Great for Maintenance"
I have outside dogs, so there's lots of opportunity for ear issues. I use this about once a week for maintenance, and my dogs ears stay clean. Sometimes I only rub the ears with a cotton swab rather than flush, because their ears are so clean. I recently rescued a pup from the ditch, and used it daily for about 10 days to get her ears clean, and now she's on the weekly maintenance schedule too. As one of the other commenters noted -- the key is maintenance.
"Great ear protection."
I have a three year old weimaraner. He has always been pron to ear infections. Even yeast infections. I tried the vet advissed solutions and they worked, but are very exspensive. So I tried Davis, and must say that I am very glad that I did. Not only is it just as good as the vet recommendations, but for a whole lot less money. Just remember preventive care is usually the best care.

Sherwin-Williams Faux Impressions® makes it easy to create stunning and sophisticated effects for your clients.
Give the rooms in your client's home or commercial space a fashionable facelift with new faux-finishes from Sherwin-Williams. Twelve techniques are supported by all the products, tools, applicators, instructional materials and color samples you need at your nearest Sherwin-Williams store. You simply choose the type of texture and color combinations for just the right look and feel.
Sensational to subdued
Every room has a personality. You can enhance that personality – or completely switch it up – by applying one of these specialty faux finishes from Sherwin-Williams:
- Artisan Impressions. Any room will come alive with this unique, handcrafted finish. Use a crackling solution and glaze to adhere tissue paper or decorative leaves to the wall for a sophisticated look, or simply apply the solution with a sponge and glazing mitt to evoke the appearance of aged metal.
- Metallic Impressions. The three metallic faux techniques – smooth, brushed or textured – radiate a reflective finish for the right amount of glamour and glitz.
- Old World Impressions. Charm your clients with the resurrected art of wall plastering and texturing. The sculpted fresco finish adds depth and dimension to any room, while smooth fresco has a softer, earthier texture. The high-polish fresco provides an elegant, marbled look.
- Quartz Stone Impressions. Simulating the appearance of smooth, brushed or striated quartz stones, the combination of texture, layers and glimmer will transform any room into one of exquisite beauty.
Textured art
In an average of four to seven hours over a one- to three-day period, you can turn ordinary walls into extraordinary displays of art. The sample paint combinations from Sherwin-Williams include colors that blend together for an elegant look, or make a fashion statement with complementary colors.
Fine finish
For step-by-step guidance, watch the instructional video. To try out the new faux finishes and discover the difference for yourself, stop by your nearest Sherwin-Williams store.

Since then I have had a few comments from readers asking about how to create your own cable for PF motors to control it from a NXT. So here is instructions on how to create your own cable in 2 minutes.
Please note that this method of driving the motor from NXT is not endorsed by LEGO and also exercise caution when working with knives and cutters.
Step 1: Start with a NXT cable and a PF motor.
Step 2: Cut the end off the PF motor and also one end of a NXT cable.
Step 3: Use a sharp knife to extract the two central strands in the PF cable and the black and white strands in the NXT cable. You can cut off the remaining strands and discard as shown below.
Step 4: Remove the insulation from the strands as shown below. This is best done using a wire stripper. Don't be tempted to use your teeth - as you will get used to using your teeth and it is a hard habit to kick.
Step 5: Twist the wires together as shown. It does not matter which way (as you can control the polarity (direction) from the NXT - but if you are doing multiple wires, be consistent so you can use the cables interchangeably.
Step 6: Use an insulating tape to ensure the two exposed strands are not touching each other. Wrap it up to make it look neat. You need to tape it around about 4- 5 times so the wires dont come apart during normal use.
Step 7: Incorporate the PF motor in your NXT creations and start enjoying it!
Other Tips: If you have a soldering iron, you can use it to make the connection better and stronger by soldering the strands together. Also if you got a heat shrink, use it to give the cable a professional looking finish. And lastly, you can use the PF motor and the other end of the NXT cable to create a PF motor with NXT end in addition to a PF adopter - so you have no wastage.
If you are really experienced in making cables and got some suggestions, feel free to add your comments and tips below.
Edit: The other option (if you dont want to butcher a PF motor) is to use the PF extension instead of a motor for PF connector source: Then you could build 2 NXT compatibility cables, one of them beeing dual duty (PF and 9V). Thank you Philo for the suggestion. Also you can read about Philo's excellent guides on creating various custom cables in his web site.

Anyhow, I typed the word "Pratchett" and it offered me "Pritchett". I was curious to find out who or what "Pritchett" meant so I Googled it. Here's what Wikipedia told me:
Wikipedia wrote:Pritchett is a Statutory Town in Baca County, Colorado, United States. The population was 137 at the 2000 census.
So there you go. Word knows all about a one-horse town in Colorado with a tiny population, but doesn't know about one of the best-selling authors in the world.
It never ceases to amaze me the words that Word knows and doesn't know. It knows "Schwarzenegger" for example, but when you type "Obama" it offers "Osama".
What are your experiences of spellcheckers?

Gallery: Silverstone Classic 2013
The best bits from the world's biggest motor racing festival
Posted: 30 Jul 2013
Billed as the 'world's biggest motor racing festival', last weekend's Silverstone Classic featured 24 historic races with more than 1100 machines spanking round the track, consuming two paddocks.
And, in a rare turn of events, the downpour on Saturday actually made things better. Many insanely expensive, rare and widow-making old cars took to the track and tussled on tyres the width of iPhones with the same adhesive properties as warm butter.
Alongside the racing, Aston was also celebrating its centenary, Lamborghini its 50th and - just in case you haven't read the Internet this year - the Porsche 911 celebrated its 50th.
Porsche tried to rustle up 911 911s on the track, but it was a tad over-subscribed, culminating in 1208 of the iconic sportsters parading around the track. At its head were Porsche legends Derek Bell, Richard Attwood, John Fitzpatrick and David Piper, leading a new world record number of Porsche 911s.
If you weren't lucky enough to count yourself among the 90,000 spectators, click through our gallery of the best bits.

After arrival at Atatürk Airport, check into your hotel. The rest of the day is free to start soaking up the unique atmosphere of this city built on two continents. At 6:30 pm, meet your Tour Director and traveling companions for a welcome dinner at your hotel. (Dinner)
Founded by the Greeks as Byzantium more than 2,500 years ago, renamed Constantinople in 330 AD when Constantine the Great elected it the capital of the Roman Empire, and finally called Istanbul after the Ottoman conquest in the 15th century, the city on the Bosporus remains one of the most exciting places in the world. Its strategic location as gateway between Orient and Occident, the Islamic and the Christian worlds, and the Black Sea and the Mediterranean predestined it for a turbulent history. Guided sightseeing starts at TOPKAPI PALACE, the residence of the Ottoman Sultans. Admire the rich and spectacular kaftans of the Sultans, that were worn during the Ottoman period. Then, visit Sultan Ahmet's BLUE MOSQUE followed by the ROMAN HIPPODROME, and tour the HAGIA SOPHIA and the SPICE BAZAAR with its tiny shops. For a taste of Turkish nightlife, join our optional dinner outing and discover the fascination of belly dancing. (Breakfast)
Visit the colorful GRAND BAZAAR before setting out on your discovery tour of a country with the population of Britain and more than three times its size. Drive along the European shore of the Sea of Marmara and head westward through sunflower and olive groves to the Dardanelles. Visit the WWI battlefields on the Gallipoli peninsula, where Allied troops, mainly Australians and New Zealanders, suffered heavy casualties in a disastrous campaign. Pay tribute to the heroes of those tragic months of 1915 at the ANZAC CEMETERY and the LONE PINE MEMORIAL. Travel by ferry across the Dardanelles to the Troy area for your first overnight in Asia on the Aegean coast. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Call at TROY, the perfect place to brush up on Homer's Trojan War–hollow wooden horse and all! Vistas of the Greek isle of Lesbos greet you as you follow the shores of the Bay of Edremit. Continue south to Pergamum, an ancient center of learning and the arts, and visit its MUSEUM. After lunch, visit the ASCLEPION, a shrine to the Greek god of medicine. Drive to Kusadasi for an overnight. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Today, visit Ephesus, home of the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, and later, the capital of Roman Asia Minor. Visit the SITE OF ANCIENT RUINS and the CHAPEL marking the site where the Virgin Mary is believed to have spent her last days. At this beautiful location, a souvenir GROUP PICTURE will be taken.Then, travel along the Silk Road, and through the lush valley of the meandering Menderes River. Next, Pamukkale. The name means "Cotton Castle" and refers to the spectacular white lime cascades formed by its hot springs. At your hotel tonight, maybe a leisurely bath in a pool of hot thermal water might be just the way to relax after a busy touring day. (Breakfast, Dinner)
This morning, visit the fascinating archaeological site of HIERAPOLIS, the thermal resort founded by a Pergamene king in 190 BC and greatly enlarged and embellished by the Romans. Then, enjoy the ever-changing cultivated landscapes and timeless scenes of rural life on your way to Bursa. Spot farmers working their fields or transporting produce in traditional horse-drawn carts. Bursa lies in the shade of the Uludag–also called Mount Olympus of Mysia—a 7,700-foot-high ski mountain surrounded by lovely orchards. Founded by the Greeks, like most ancient cities in this part of the world, and hotly contested during the Crusades, Bursa had its heyday as the first capital of the Ottoman Empire. In the afternoon, visit the GREAT MOSQUE (Ulu Camii). Also on the agenda, of course, the ANCIENT COVERED BAZAAR and the Silk Market. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Visit Iznik, site of the first Ecumenical Council. See its ancient city walls before visiting ST. SOPHIA CHURCH and the ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM. Later, return to Istanbul in style. Enjoy a leisurely private CRUISE on the Bosporus, the narrow strait that links the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, and separates Asia from Europe. Take pictures of exquisite private residences along the scenic shoreline, and of strategically located castles that once protected the approaches of the city. Tonight, a farewell dinner with wine at a local restaurant celebrates the success of your Turkish adventure. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Morning at leisure before embarkation. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Plenty of time this morning to relax on board while cruising towards Mykonos. This afternoon, discover the mountainous island of Mykonos with its characteristic windmills and dazzling white houses.

Hundreds of tiny chapels dot this blue and white-washed island with its beautiful windmills. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Two ports of call today. First the tiny Greek island of Patmos where St. John the Divine wrote the Revelation.

All day is dedicated to the island of Rhodes. Explore the Old Town with its ramparts and palaces built by the Knights of St. John during the Crusades.

We conservatives like to gag when Obama, almost half way through his presidency (note I didn't say first term) continues to blame Bush for everything except the hangnail on his finger.
I don't know how much conservatives can really quarrel with this excuse.
We may "miss" W now, but there's something to this. Reagan's success got George H.W. Bush elected, and Clinton's "success" did get more people to vote for Al Gore.
This is from No Sheeples Here, and I'm filing it under "I wish I thought of this".

Spring football often provides a time for the next player at certain positions to emerge.
At Starkville Academy, football coach Jeff Terrill believes there's a good nucleus returning from a team that played for the Class AAA, Division II State Championship last year, but he's also looking for some newcomers to help fill some voids.
The Volunteers begin spring practice today and Terrill looks forward to a time of building depth across the board.
"We do think we have to rebuild the offensive and defensive line with the loss of Angus (Catchot) and some other good players, but we're really excited about some of the guys we have coming out," Terrill said. "A real goal for the spring will be to develop that and establish an offensive and defensive line. The other real concerns would be running backs and linebackers."
Although Starkville Academy returns quarterback Drew Pellum from last year's successful year, Terrill would like to identify a backup in the spring.
As of now, he doesn't see one from 10th through 12 grades.
"We've got an outstanding 9th grade quarterback in Houston Clark and he had a great jamboree when we took the junior high over to East Webster last Thursday," Terrill said. "He threw three or four touchdown passes, but we want him to play junior high football and get reps in games. That's just an issue, but we do believe in our big guys we'll be able to create some depth and be pretty good there and more worried about skilled positions. We'll have to rely on some newcomers and see who will step up there."
The Vols will have 20 practices in 30 calendar days so the athletes who play baseball may get some time at the end to get in some work.
Terrill expects to follow a similar routine as Mississippi State with two or three practices per week.
"We're a little lucky because the academy spring rule is a little different," Terrill said of the practice format. "We're going to go ahead and start. We are fortunate that we'll have the majority of our linebackers, defensive linemen and offensive linemen so we'll get a lot of the technique work in with the big guys. We won't practice every day. We'll save enough practices so when baseball is through, we can get our work done."
A scrimmage is tentatively scheduled between Starkville Academy and Washington School at J.E. Logan Field on Saturday, May 12. The date and noon starting time could change depending on what happens with baseball season.View more articles in:
