Trial reset for consultant tied to hijacked email
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A trial on child pornography charges has been postponed for a Democratic political consultant, who's been linked to a separate case about the hijacking of Republican Gov. Susana Martinez's campaign email account.
U.S. District Judge James Browning earlier this week rescheduled Jason Loera's trial for Sept. 15. It was to start July 1.
Loera has pleaded not guilty and is challenging an FBI search of his home in 2012 when [auth] agents found sexually explicit images of children on computer storage discs. The initial search was part of the FBI's investigation of the governor's hijacked email.
According to FBI affidavits in the email case, Loera received Martinez administration correspondence that had been intercepted and he leaked some of the messages to the governor's political opponents. Loera has not been charged in the email case, however.
Former Martinez campaign manager Jamie Estrada pleaded guilty last week to charges of intercepting email and making false statements to federal agents.
Estrada served briefly as campaign manager in 2009 as Martinez was beginning her bid for governor. He took control of the campaign's email system after Martinez became governor in 2011. Messages by Martinez, her aides and others through the campaign email system didn't go to intended recipients and were directed to a computer account controlled by Estrada.
According to FBI statements, Estrada communicated regularly with Loera, and some hijacked emails were sent from a Loera-controlled account to Martinez administration critics, including Albuquerque lawyer Sam Bregman, who later became state Democratic Party chairman.
Bregman used an administration email in a hearing when he represented a state prison official appealing his firing. The appeal was later dropped, but the FBI used that email to help trace the campaign-account hijacking to Estrada.

Confused Washington Times disses McCain and Obama on carbon offsets
In a bizarre twist, the conservative Washington Times, which would normally be critical of fuzzy environmental strategies like carbon offsets, is actually attacking the candidates for not offsetting all their campaign emissions. Opening with an absurd headline, "Green Crusades lot of talk," the Times writes:
Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama have called for strict mandatory limits to control greenhouse gases but they aren't leading by example — each has failed to pay for offsets to cover all of his campaign's carbon emissions.
How does not taking (dubious) voluntary actions carry any implications about one's commitment to serious mandatory limits? Advocating mandatory limits is based on an understanding that two decades of the voluntary approach has not reversed emissions trends. And again and again we've seen how offsets provide at best a limited environmental benefit (click on "offsets" category on right hand column).
Surely the WT can find more things stories to write about … I've heard it said Senator McCain has called for carbon limits that are in fact mandatory, but he refuses to call them mandatory … nah, no story there….
4 Responses to Confused Washington Times disses McCain and Obama on carbon offsets
I would hardly call the WP confused or bizarre in this case. They called these carbon credit scams the schemes that they are and pointed out that even those that proposed them don't follow their own advice. In the past they have noted that Al Gore purchases his "indulgences" from Generation Investment Management, a company that he co-owns, the hight of hypocrisy.
Meant WT, and spellcheck ain't working this AM.
Ah, come on, you can't really mean that if Al Gore owns a company for carbon offsets and then buys offsets for his own use from that company, that's somehow hypocrisy? What if he bought his lemonade from his daughters lemonade stand, would that be bad too?
It will break your head trying to figure out the weird strategies of Rev. Moon's paper.
My advice- don't bother. It's hard to trust them even for simple factual statements- like how many billion barrells a day China imported in 2006.

The world's most libertarian sport, Aussie Rules, is now being played in English schools, and the inclusion in PE curricula has received the endorsement of the UK Minister of Sport, Richard Cabon. Channel 9's 'Today' programme has a clip showing how it has worked at one school to inspire renewed interest in sport amongst the youngsters. "It's a man's sport," enthuses one perceptive kid. (Firefox users will need to switch to Explorer to watch the clip.) NZ readers who would like to get Aussie Rules into their school should contact Rob Malone or one of the other NZAFL legends to get a School Clinic organised.
In other footy news, following the success of the New Zealand Falcons in this year's International Cup in Melbourne, a New Zealand Aussie Rules team has been invited to play in the Australian Country Championships in 2006. NZ will be in a pool comprising Queensland, SA, Victoria Districts, an Aboriginal All Stars team, NZ, and Tasmania.

According to Kim Koyle of CBS 5, Singletary told her in the pre-game meetings that we have been and are going to keep the offense and defense very vanilla all preseason and aren't going to show our hand. I really hope thats the truth and that we have a better pass rush and passing game.
I have to tend to believe that it true due to the lack of play action's(which Raye's offense is notorious for) and the lack of stunts and blitz's by the defense. If it's not the truth we will have another frustrating year IMO.
If you listen to the halftime interview she states that and Sing does confirm it but hopefully it's just not being used as an excuse. Just wondering if anyone else caught that and if not what do you think?
I think we have kept it vanilla, but that could be the homer in me...

I became interested in the Bountiful Memorial Park several years back. I have several generations of relatives laid to rest there.
I have spent many hours walking the grounds gathering and updating those who have been left behind and lost to those who love them.
I have also found a few hundred unrecorded burials and had them added to the roll of records at the cemetery office.
Thanks for the requests and updates. I am extremely busy and will make the updates as quickly as time permits.
I am happy to add any information that would be of interest. All biographical information and obituaries are transcribed and added as originally published with extremely minor possible corrections.

Father of Charles Gerber (#39597796)
I have put in an edit to remove the incorrect Johannes Gerber as father of Charles. While Charles Gerber's father was a Johannes Gerber, it was not the one that your memorial was linked to. Charles' father Johannes Gerber (possibly 1836-1897) stayed in Switzerland and never joined the LDS church like his wife Elizabeth (Gertsch) Gerber did.

Hughes photos
Hi, Jason - I fulfilled a photo request for the marker of Genenne Hughes. While there, I noticed that the graves of her husband, Dale and his parents Austin and Celia were right next to Genenne's. So, I took photos of those and added them. You can delete them if you don't want them. I'm not sure of the proper protocol when it comes to Find-A-Grave. I'm still new to it so I'll use that as an excuse if it wasn't the proper thing to do.

William Adcock # 20178863
Hi, Jason: thanks for your work on this family, and the earlier transfer of Hannah Johnson Aston Adcock (20178688). Could you remove her, though, as William's mother? His mother was also named Hannah, but she was Hannah Broadbent, b. 1819 in England, died 1864 probably in Canada. It's confusing because William's dad, Charles Adcock, then married another, much younger, Hannah. You'll notice Hannah Johnson is about the same age as William Adcock!

Psychosis: Understanding The Symptoms
May 10th, 2016
Some biases I've discussed can cause problems when we're not aware of them and apply them inappropriately, cognitive shortcuts including the baby-face bias, the insufficient-justification effect and the blaming the victim phenomenon. However, some biases are mainly helpful. For example, when it comes to perceiving threats.
Imagine that you're taking a swim and suddenly you see a shark approaching you. What would you do? Things that seem threatening usually motivate us to quickly get as far away as we can. This tendency is enforced by a bias in our visual perception: we misperceive threatening objects as being closer to us than they actually are.
In two recent studies, researchers of New York University tested whether we misperceive threatening objects as closer than nonthreatening objects that evoke equally strong and negative responses, such as disgust.
In the first study, innocent students entered a room, standing about 4 meters away from a tarantula that was placed on a tray on a table. Then they were asked how threatened and disgusted they felt at that moment and estimated the distance to the tarantula.
The results showed that the more threatened participants felt, the closer they estimated the tarantula to be. Those who were more disgusted than threatened, estimated the tarantula to be further away.
In the second study, female students were introduced to a male student they had never seen before. Then they watched one of three videos. In the threat condition, participants watched a video in which the male student talked about his love of guns, how he hunted as a hobby, and how he experienced feelings of pent-up aggression.
Participants in the disgust condition watched a video in which the same male student talked about having done disgusting things to customers' orders while working in a fast food restaurant, including urinating in customers' sodas and spitting in their food.
Finally, participants in the neutral condition watched a video in which the male student talked about the classes he was taking next semester in a neutral manner.
Afterwards, the female students again entered the room where the male student sat about 3,5 meters away from them. The participants rated how "threatening" and how "disgusting" they felt the male student was at that moment. They also estimated the distance between themselves and the male student.
The results showed that the participants in the threat condition estimated that the male student was closer (average 1.4 meters) than the students who watched either the disgusting (average 2 meters) or the neutral video (average 1.9 meters).
"Although fear and disgust are both negative and intense emotions, they differ in the amount of immediate action they call for," the researchers explain. "Both fear and disgust may be associated with avoidance tendencies, but fear typically necessitates active mobilization to withdraw from or dispel potential threats, whereas disgust does not."
The studies demonstrate that this perceptual bias can be useful, as it may help to promote functional action: getting away from threatening objects. So hopefully, that shark is actually further away then you perceived it to be, making you able to quickly get out of the water before it grabs you.

Have Arsenal Already Moved For This Brazilian Starlet? by AT
While signing a world-class striker may be Arsene Wenger's first priority in this summer's transfer window, it certainly does seem as though the Frenchman is working hard to bring in defensive reinforcements as well. Following multiple reports linking the club with Atletico Madrid's Miranda and Gremio's Bressan, the Gunners have been yet again linked with yet another highly-rated Brazilian centre-half.

Is it ok at club level to play positions as Black with this evaluation?
call me crazy but i would play +2 until my opponent is 2000+
I think it depends if your opponent has active pices vs inactive pieces.if your opponent has a rock still locked in by his own pieces he is actually playing without it -5.00, in this case it doesn't matter if you play on +3.00.therefore if you have very active pieces you can overwhelm your opponent with an attack not giving him time/change to be active and win.
This is silly to generalize about.
In general, I agree with Andy (who is generalizing, himself, isn't he?) ...
But...what do you mean "play"?
A +1.00 is bad for black but even super GMs play on in positions with that eval and worse all the time -- why wouldn't you?
But if by play you mean "aim for" as in there are positions in your opening repertoire that arrive at a +1.00 that you seek, or at least don't struggle to avoid -- I have no experience with that. I mean I suppose a black opening repertoire will inevitably include some undesirable positions and also opening evaluations are notoriously suspect... Perhaps Rybka calls a certain position +1.00 but all the masters know that eval is flawed -- it's also quite possible there are some dubious "club-favorite" opening lines that are theoretical +1.00s that nevertheless offer a Black club player great practical chances -- I just don't pay enough attention to my opening-theory to have an opinion on what's what in this regard.
I never generalize!
That's a tough call.
No, you have to resign immediately. You are lost.
It still depends.
am I wrong or is 1.00 only a pawn or 3 tempi
Glass heart.
no one resigns with black with +1.00, not even GMs, you better wait till someone has definite advantage.

Glass heart.
Bronsteinitz : balls of steel :-) I would not recognize a 1.00 and win anyway. Of course you can play this.
Yeah I'm talking about purposely aiming for positions where Black is behind 1.00.
Well, I think chess players are generally divided into two camps, the one's that think dubious gambits are crap, and the one's that are totally addicted to them. At the club level where no one's book goes all that deep these things tend to do far better than they are "supposed" to.
even i agree
Thus implying a question of sorts...
Depends what level club player. The majority of the time my engine rates something as +1.00 I feel that I could win the game from the position I see, of course there are exceptions. That said, im sure there would be many times id quickly lose that advantage, as would any other club player. So yes they could play it, but i think many players >1600 OTB wouldnt have too much trouble realising their advantage, and at very least making the players life extremely difficult.

Tim Pawlenty vetoes budget proposal: Full text
Following through as promised and predicted, GOP Gov. Pawlenty vetoed the budget-balancing package approved by the DFL-controlled Legislature yesterday because it raises taxes.
Both sides now have until Monday to come up with some sort of compromise to avoid a nearly $3 billion deficit.
Here's the text of Pawlenty's veto letter.
It's addressed to Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson Kelliher, the DFL-endorsed candidate for the job Pawlenty leaves at the end of the year.
Dear Speaker Kelliher:
I have vetoed and am returning Chapter 340, House File 2037.
As you are aware, Minnesota and the nation are experiencing historic economic challenges. Minnesotans re concerned about their jobs and the jobs of their family members, neighbors and friends. Minnesota is already one of the most highly taxed states in the nation. The DFL proposal to add a fourth tier income bracket at a rate of 9.1 percent would give Minnesota the 5th-highest income tax rate in the country. It would also disproportionately harm small business owners and hamper job creation in our state. The bill would raise taxes for approximately 122,000 filers, with an average tax increase of $2,800 in 2010.
Moreover, it is nonsensical to to increase taxes on job providers merely weeks after after I signed a bill to provide tax incentives for Minnesota businesses to grow jobs. This behavior sends a confusing and mixed message to companies looking to produce jobs in Minnesota.
The bill also does very little to address the budget deficit in the next biennium, leaving a nearly $5 billion deficit for the next Legislature and Governor to address. It is is irresponsible leadership not to sincerely attempt to address this critical, as I did in my February budget proposal.
I look forward to working with you on an appropriate solution that does not raise taxes on Minnesotans and significantly reduces the budget deficit in this budget cycle and the next one.

Denmark; Selected Issues Paper
Denmark's public expenditure as a share of GDP is the highest in the OECD. The main difference between Denmark and the median OECD country is the larger amount of social protection expenditure. The public health expenditure of Denmark is the second highest in the OECD. Following years of strong public capital accumulation in facilities as well as in training, education, and research, Denmark's expenditure on public investment is now low. The composition of Denmark's expenditures is broadly in line with the high expenditure countries.

The Creative Myth and The Cosmic Hero: Text and Context in Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death (The Reshaping of Psychoanalysis)
Becker's hypothesis about psychic and spiritual unity within the Rankian idea of a hero provides the framework for this book. By extending Rank's and Becker's conceptions of heroism from a developmental process involving a World Hero Child, through a Monomythic narrative sequence (Campbell, 1968), and on into the literary texts of American fiction, this book illustrates Becker's wisdom. At the same time, it explores the implications that remain undeveloped in Becker's The Denial of Death, implications about gender, about modern technocratic life and about popular culture as blocks to heroism. The result is a synthesis of mythic-textual-psychoanalytical theory into a belief system that is perpetuated by resonant readings.

I need drivers for Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd. Bluetooth USB dongle. Can you help me to find it?
Unfortunately, CSR does not give the relevant drivers on their site anymore. According to the posts in this forum, you have not much chance. However, the questioner somehow seems to manage getting it worked. I hope this helps.
This is the driver for the dongle.
Sad to say but, if the BT USB dongle didn't come with a useable driver, you are most likely going to have to buy third party software. I had to buy BlueSoliel for my CSR Bluetooth USB dongle. It was $19.95 for the 6.0 version (Good for BT 2.0 and 2.1) Works great for my A2DP stereo headset and my windows mobile (HTC HyTn 2-Tilt/Kaiser) I can use the phone's data plan while surfing the web on my desktop using a Local Area Connection (Port 5.) It does not work well for my headset's hands free functionality though, likely due to all the "noise" with the cordless phones and wi-fi around here, (All using the 2.4GHz frequency range.)
Next time buy the more expensive BT dongle, (the higher price generally includes working drivers. LOL)

In Afghan Village, French Outreach Yields an Ambush
Troubled Effort by Legionnaires to Assess Local Allegiances in Area Near Kabul Illustrates Challenges Facing Foreign Troops
RODBAR, Afghanistan -- At 10 a.m. Sunday, a dozen ragged schoolboys, who had been milling around this village's school after a meeting between Western soldiers and local elders, melted away, followed by their white-capped headmaster. Then, 30 seconds after the last boy carried away the blackboard, the ambush began. From crevices in the craggy hills to the north, Afghan insurgents fired machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades at a French Foreign Legion unit that had entered Rodbar earlier in the morning.
The ensuing firefight ended only after attack helicopters and heavy mortars pummeled the mountainsides, finally repelling the rebels beyond the ridgeline.
Rodbar, a village of several dozen mud houses on the front line between government-held and insurgent-controlled parts of Afghanistan, isn't in some remote outback: It is part of Kabul province's Surobi district, about 50 miles east of the capital.
"Surobi is important because it offers the keys to Kabul," says Col. Benoit Durieux, commander of the Foreign Legion task force here.
The Foreign Legion's experience in the village illustrates the tough challenges the 100,000 U.S.-led coalition troops face in Afghanistan. One of the most difficult ones: how hard it is to ascertain and win the loyalties of local civilians, a key condition for rolling back the spreading insurgency.
The French forces took responsibility for the area from the Italian military last year, and almost immediately lost 10 men to an ambush in Uzbeen Valley, where Rodbar is located. The Italians also lost one soldier in the valley, but rarely patrolled there, prompting allegations, denied by the Italian government, of a tacit collusion with the insurgents.
France has since moved more forces and heavy weaponry into the district, where both the mainstream Taliban and the allied militia of warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar operate. In June, the Foreign Legion established a company-size combat outpost, named Rocco, about two-thirds of the way up the valley.
In the night before Sunday's operation, the Legionnaires -- a motley crew of nationalities including Romanian, Chilean and Chinese -- threw a raunchy party at the outpost's improvised bar, downing beer as a sequence of porn videos and Ukrainian pop clips blared from the dust-covered TV.
Some Legionnaires, like a pensive Italian art history graduate, had enlisted for adventure. Others, like a thin Estonian, signed up to escape potentially lethal problems at home. The Legion wipes out minor criminal records and provides new identities and a French passport in exchange for a five-year contract. "Believe me, I feel safer here in Afghanistan," the Estonian said.
A map at the outpost, which is regularly attacked with rockets, mortars and small-arms fire, showed a thin red line crossing the valley 2½ miles to the north. "Beyond this line, the insurgents still have freedom to circulate," said the commander, Capt. Guillaume. (French army field rules ban publishing soldiers' surnames.)
Rodbar sits right on that line. The French first entered the village in August, uneventfully. When they returned in late September, they came under fire.
The original French plan had been to provide villagers with a tractor and farming supplies, in an attempt to win hearts and minds. But such a ceremony -- requiring the attendance of Col. Durieux and the district governor -- was judged too risky.
"We know that the insurgents have regrouped themselves. Our mission is to go to Rodbar to find out whether it has fallen under insurgent sway," Capt. Guillaume, a 29-year-old graduate of France's elite St. Cyr military academy, explained Saturday night.
The Legion's Sunday journey to Rodbar began at 4:30 a.m. The starry sky provided the only light as 14 armored fighting vehicles rolled to hilltops. As the force split into several sections, Capt. Guillaume and two of his men sprinted down into a creek bed and then up a rocky slope dotted with thorn bushes. By sunrise, they had reached the village school and, assault rifles raised, cleared it room by room.
Meantime, other Legionnaires walked into Rodbar's center below, knocking on the doors of prominent locals and telling them to assemble outside the school for an unannounced shura, or meeting, with the captain.
By 8 a.m., the first villagers arrived, most of them children wearing embroidered Pashtun skullcaps and clutching Unicef-issued backpacks. Only a handful of adults appeared. The most senior of them, Jamal, a representative of the area's tribal chieftain, stared blankly when asked about the Taliban. "We're just civilians here. We know nothing about them," he said.
Capt. Guillaume was skeptical. When Outpost Rocco was attacked Oct. 12, "the entire village saw the insurgents pass by, but no one alerted the army or the police," he told the villagers, stern-faced. "Civilians here will be arrested and imprisoned because they helped the insurgents," he threatened.
An Afghan army representative sitting next to Capt. Guillaume, Sgt. Din Mohammad, tried a softer line. "We're here to help you, not to disturb you. If a mortar falls on your house, it pains me as much as if it were to fall on my house," he said. The villagers, speaking one after the other, insisted that they will inform the authorities immediately should any insurgents enter Rodbar. They continued to deny any militant presence in their midst.
As Capt. Guillaume talked to the villagers, his second-in-command rushed to whisper urgent news into his ear. A series of gunshots had been heard in the distance, presumably a signal by the Taliban. Some suspicious men were spotted climbing the mountain. One was seen using a small mirror to indicate his position.
The meeting over, the sullen villagers filed out, one by one. Then the schoolchildren -- who had yet to begin the day's classes -- packed up and started to leave. "It's a pretty short school day," one of the Legionnaires quipped. "Not a good sign," said another.
The first insurgent volleys came from the north, behind the long side of the L-shaped school. "We have contact, we have contact," screamed the radio operator of the forward French section. The Legionnaires responded by firing 81-millimeter mortars at insurgent muzzle flashes. Red tracers soared up and puffs of white smoke began rising from the ridge. Bullets whizzed past the school building. Some of the firing came from a house inside Rodbar itself. Minutes of silence followed.
Then the insurgents opened up from the hill to the east, raining bullets and RPGs into a withdrawing French column. "We'd expected them to shoot at us from afar -- not like this," breathed out Chief Warrant Officer Thierry as his reconnaissance vehicle's driver jumped out, kneeled, and started firing his assault rifle into the hillside.
Two Tigre attack helicopters summoned from Kabul unloaded into the insurgent positions. Then French 120-millimeter mortars unleashed two dozen fiery flashes on the hillside. By 11:30 a.m., the shooting was over. No French or Afghan troops had been wounded. It isn't clear how many, if any, insurgents were hit.
"They know how to shoot," Capt. Guillaume said after his men returned to base. "We were lucky today."

I have an IBM ThinkPad T500 running Windows 7, and a Windows 7 VM running through VMWare Player. Nevermind the why. How do I get the integrated camera to be detected by the VM?
migrated from serverfault.com May 17 '11 at 22:09
This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
Integrated cameras typically show up as USB devices. VMware will allow you to connect the USB device to the virtual machine. Of course, the integrated camera driver will need to be installed to the VM guest operating system in order for this to work.

Innovation is a common theme at Designed and Made. The goal of this project was to take a common household item — in this case a nightstand — and incorporate custom features that make the furniture piece unique, and truly custom.
This nightstand with a hidden drawer features burl veneer inlays behind a CNC-machined walnut face with gold leaf trim that accentuates the detail.
"Mike Prom and I were able to build on the knowledge we gained on the original hidden drawer project to create a simpler hidden drawer mechanism with less parts that is easier to build," said Brian Grabski.
The nightstand features:
Built into the nightstand is a hidden drawer. To access the drawer, you pull on a lever hidden behind the frame of the top drawer. This activates a spring which pushes the hidden drawer out. The beauty of the spring is threefold; it's inexpensive and readily available, it can easily be replaced, and the tension keeps the hidden drawer closed until it's activated.

This 1950's mid-century rambler situated in St. Paul's Highland Park neighborhood underwent a full remodel. Located at 2065 Upper St. Dennis Rd. the 6,300 square foot house offers custom cabinetry throughout.]]>
Designed & Made was proud to be a part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Luxury Home Tour. The home located at 700 Osceola offers custom cabintery, a custom entertainment center, butler's pantry, master bathroom vanity and bar.
The Old World feel of the cobblestone street out front matches this Tudor-style home, reminiscent of a charming fairytale cottage.
Located in St. Paul's historic Crocus Hills neighborhood, the home fits in with the character of other homes on the street, designated a national historic district. There's a strong sense of community here, and builder Detail Design + Build and designer Charlie Simmons of Charlie and Co. were sensitive to neighborhood concerns about history and aesthetics.
Historic details can be seen in the steeply pitched cross gable, stucco exterior, archway to the front door, and stacked brick wall landscaping, and inside, in the coffered ceiling, butler's pantry, hooded hearth, hand-painted tiles, built-in cabinetry, and back covered porch, complete with hanging lanterns.
The 5,000-square-foot home has contemporary details, too, with art niches, a powder room with an art glass feature wall, a private balcony with southern exposure off the master suite, a four-story stair tower with cascading light fixtures adding drama and natural light, bedrooms connected with a Jack-and- Jill bath, a beautiful master suite, and a separate driveway path to the mudroom entrance. There are a few tech surprises in the home as well, with technology hidden in unexpected places—like the cabinet doors that open and close automatically with a soft push.
A lot of time was spent perfecting details and paying attention to craftsmanship for the perfect balance of form and function. The end result? A home that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but incredibly versatile— features that will never go out of style.]]>
The builder I did this kitchen for and I both have a design forward approach and are really passionate about what we do. These projects are always a lot of fun to work on.
This house is the second of two custom homes in the new 12 lot development in historic St. Paul's Crocus Hill neighborhood.
The custom CNC grid doors were originally inspired by the house in Mr. & Mrs. Smith. (The Closet and Master Bath in that house are also amazing, check it out next time you watch the movie. You know what I'm talking about Rick.)
The question was, what's the best way to make custom grids like the ones in these doors? That is where Mike Prom and Tyler Cooper came in. After Chris and I had the concept for this kitchen polished up, Mike and I started designing the doors and toe kicks using parametric modeling software and go-to-meeting.
Mike is a superhero when it comes to CAD. He has been helping me out with drafting and design work from the very beginning. Mike is awesome.
Tyler Cooper is one of the owners at Nordeast Makers. Cooper and his business partner Micah have become my go-to source for contract CNC work. In addition to the CNC router, they also have a laser cutter, and multiple 3D printers.
The best projects that I work on are always a collaboration between multiple creative minds working towards the same end goal.
Below are some images of the finished project.

The builder I did this kitchen for is also one of my best friends, and we both started our companies at the same time in 2005. Chris Van Klei and I both have a design forward approach and are really passionate about what we do. It's always really fun working together. At times we tend to go a little overboard, which is why I believe we were able to survive in the down economy and come out on the other end working on projects like this one.
This particular project was a unique opportunity for the both of us to plant our flags. This house is one of two custom homes in a new 12 lot development in historic St. Paul's Crocus Hill neighborhood. We were going to be working along side some big name builders and architects and with that in mind, the design process began.
Design concepts always start out as a sketch. This kitchen was modeled after a similar project I completed a year earlier. The question was, how do we take this to a whole new level? That is where Mike Prom came in. Mike was the mastermind behind the uber complicated hidden drawer mechanism that I built back in 2010.
Mike is a CAD wizard with a background in mechanical engineering. He has been helping me out a tun with drafting and design work since I got started. Like Chris, Mike is also one of my best friends. The best projects that I work on are always a collaboration between multiple creative minds working towards the same end goal.
After Chris and I had the concept for this kitchen polished up, Mike and I started designing the hood using parametric modeling software.
Mike lives in Portland and I live in Minneapolis, so we had to do our meetings together online using GoToMeeting.com. Mike designed/modeled the hood and island legs using a CAD software called Inventor by Autodesk. I was able to view his screen on my screen, and we were able to communicate though the microphone and speakers built into our computers. Together we spent several nights collaborating on how we wanted those parts to look and be constructed.
Here are some renderings showing the progression.
After we completed the design work, Mike put me in touch with a contact of his who runs the CNC at a nearby, large scale production wood shop. We handed off the .dxf files to him and he nested the parts and routed everything out for us.
After that it was simply a matter of piecing everything together and filming time-lapses of the process. All the parts were routed out of 3/4″ MDF. I glued, screwed, bondo'ed and sanded up each section, working from the inside of the assembly outward.
After the bones of the top section were assembled, I laminated the face with 3/8″ bending plywood. These parts were also cut to the exact size and shape on the router, so all I had to do was line it up and screw it down.
After the glue dried, I puttied all the screw holes and edges with automotive bondo and sanded them flush. The final step was to veneer over the bending plywood. For this, I used paper backed veneer and contact adhesive. I started with the sides, and finished with the face. The applied molding was nailed on and I was finished.
We designed this hood to be easy to install. There were two hangers built into the top section of the hood so it could be installed the same way you would install a cabinet. We also designed the back sides of the legs to have voids so that cleats could be attached to the wall and nailed into through the sides of the legs.
I built this dresser for my home back in 2009, and at that time I was very inspired by the veneer work that Tom Schrunk was doing in collaboration with Steinway for their "Art Case" pianos.
I was also inspired by the mechanical woodworking being done by Matthias Wandel of Woodgears.ca.
The hidden drawer is controlled by a bolt on the back side of the upper right drawer box. Before you can activate the hidden drawer system, you need to unlock the bolt with the correct combination.
Lets be honest, I didn't invent the pad lock and I wasn't the first person to build one out of wood either. If you're interested in a detailed explication of how to build the lock, click here.
What I did with this particular project was expand on the idea. The combination lock is the first step of a series of actions that opens a hidden drawer located within the toe kick of the cabinet.
Below is an illustration of how this lock can be incorporated into any furniture piece with a stack of drawers by taking advantage of the 1" void between the drawer slides and side of the cabinet.
From (01:08-01:10) in the video, you can see how after the combination has been entered, the lever that controls the bolt is now able to pass through the lock. Now with the bolt fully extended, when you push the top drawer back into the cabinet, the hidden drawer pops out.
The top section is made out of a 1/2" thick piece of wood that is 2.75" wide by 8" long. There is a Blumotion soft close plunger inset into the point of contact where the bolt hits the block of wood.
The block is connected to a 8" KV8400 full extension drawer slide. On the back side of the wood block there are two additional Blumotion soft close plungers. These act as a soft backstop; eliminating any clunking or banging.
Both sections are connected with 1/4" nylon rope. Click here to see a trick for cutting nylon rope without it fraying.
The bottom section is very similar to the top, except that when the hidden drawer is closed, the 8" drawer slide is in the extended position.
There is constant back tension created by a spring that pulls the bottom slide back to the extended position. From (00:30-00:40) in the video, you'll notice how the top drawer springs back open after its been pushed in. When the bolt on the back is retracted, the top drawer box is able to function normally.

As the almighty TV power-host draws tearfully to the end of her 25 year reign as queen of US TV (she is retiring from her eponymous chatshow this month and is currently pre-recording her final show), her final appearance was dealt a savage blow when Forbes Magazine named Lady Gaga no 1 in its Top 100 Celebrity Power List, knocking the US host off the top spot.
Quite how a 25 year old pop star beat off a force like Oprah is open to debate. Was it financial? Lady Gaga has earned over $90 million through touring the Gaga brand. But surely her power comes in equal measure via her 32 million Facebook fans, 10 million Twitter followers and, of course, the music: digital downloads of her last single "Born This Way" hit one milllion in only five days.
Most recently of all, Gaga has penned her first fashion column in V magazine, suddenly becoming the most talked-about fashion writer on the planet.
The column, long and rambling and oddly directionless, provides an invaluable insight into the way Gaga views herself. Here is an excerpt from May's debut:
"There is no chicken or egg. It's molecular. Cells give birth to cells. To put it more bluntly, the Hussein Chalayan vessel I wore at the Grammys wasn't inspired by a chicken. It was stolen from an egg. But the transformation, the context, and the approach taken to reinterpret the meaning of birth and rebirth in terms of fame on a fucking red carpet — this is what creates the modernity of the statement. The past undergoes mitosis, becoming the originality of the future."
Unlike Oprah, Gaga has cultivated so many faces that the Gaga brand itself has infiltrated almost every aspect of popular culture. As for the fashion column, feel free to interpret at will.

To the list of propositions so crazy they might be true -- Elvis walks among us; a monster lives in Loch Ness; President Bush can form complete, coherent sentences in private -- add the following:
I might owe readers an apology. (Note the italics).
Earlier this year, I wrote an article lamenting the sudden, oppressive ubiquity of all things Boston Red Sox, including (but not limited to) the Bloody Sock of Turin, sons weeping at their fathers' graves and Johnny Damon's bid for the Pen/Faulkner Award.
In addition, I likened the team's fans to overbearing neighbors who insist on giving yawn-inducing tours of their unremarkable homes and obnoxious, messy boarders who simply refuse to leave. Wrapping things up, I politely asked the Red Sox and their followers to get the [expletive] out of America's collective house, already.
Surprisingly, this didn't go over well in Red Sox Nation.
Unsurprisingly, said Nation flooded my inbox.
One irate writer dubbed me an ass. Another added a suffix that rhymes with "droll." Some questioned my sexual orientation; others (smartly, I must admit) pointed out the hypocrisy of a media member decrying a media-disseminated phenomenon.
Oh, and I also was blessed with my very own obscene entry on the Urban Dictionary Web site, the Stateside equivalent of British knighthood -- albeit with less shoulder-tapping from the Queen, and more accusations of an unwholesome relationship between myself and the primates at the National Zoo.
Hmmm. When Irish author Brendan Behan noted that all publicity is good, he probably didn't have illicit man-on-monkey action in mind.
Anyway, the outpouring of bile forced me to reflect: Was I wrong to rip Boston overload? Did I bruise some feelings? Was it now time to repent, kneel before Zod and beg for New England's forgiveness?
After careful consideration, I'd like to extend the following olive branch to Red Sox Nation.
I'm not sorry for my article. Not in the least.
That said, I am sorry that Sox supporters are saddled with Ben Affleck, that Jimmy Fallon starred in the movie, and that so much of their emotional well-being rests on the fickle shoulders of stick-swinging, pajama-wearing millionaires. Particularly when said millionaires are losing ground to a similar bunch in pinstripes.
My regards.
Wow. Know what? That felt good. Real good. Way better than a phony mea culpa, one of those by-the-book sham apologies that pollute sports and society alike. Ben Franklin was right: Honesty really is the best policy.
And for reminding us all of that fundamental truth -- heck, for giving me a sterling example to emulate -- I'd like to thank Jacksonville quarterback Byron Leftwich.
Why Leftwich? During a loss to Indianapolis two weeks ago, the Jaguars quarterback flipped off Colts defensive line coach John Teerlinck. Twice. Teerlinck reportedly yelled at Leftwich from the sideline; the quarterback's vulgar rejoinders were caught on camera.
Following the game, Leftwich said he was sorry. Well, sort of.
"I made a mistake," he said. "I hate that I did it because I got caught on TV. But in the heat of battle, sometimes you do things. Maybe a little child was sitting there watching the game and saw that. That's the only bad part of it."

Heidi MainCary, NCAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Sweet readJanuary 14, 2015Heidi MainCary, NCAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Lanie is very likable with a sketchy past that chases her throughout the story. All the characters in the book are very hard workers, perhaps illustrating small-town life. All the people and elements of this story intertwined, but didn't feel forced at all. I especially liked Ray, the male character. His background was deep and his dream was huge. The location of his cabin was vivid, I wished I could have spent more time there!

I found myself not wanting to stop reading it at times. The only thing that I wish there was more of was at the ending. More of the, what I call, the "happy ever after". When it came to the end, that was it..... The epilogue was not enough. There are 3 books to this series and I was hopping they would link more of it together. I am now up to the 3 book. Hope it has more.
Britt98Grand Prairie, TXAge: 35-44Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5I really enjoyed this small town story!May 11, 2014Britt98Grand Prairie, TXAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Welcome to Last Chance was a fun book to read. After reading this book, I really felt connected to these characters in the small town of Last Chance, New Mexico. Lainie Davis started out in the book as a pretty rough character who had obviously lived a hard life. She was distrustful and didn't really fit in with the long-time residents of this small town.
I enjoyed seeing Lainie grow, both in learning about a relationship with God and in learning how to allow herself to be loved by the people living in Last Chance. She is very drawn to one man in particular, named Ray. I enjoyed their sweet romance develop, but was pretty nervous that Lainie would mess it up or that her past would find her.
This is really a great collection of characters, an enjoyable setting to read about, and there is plenty of drama to make for a very interesting story. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
HeidiAge: 25-34Gender: female3 Stars Out Of 5Great townspeopleFebruary 21, 2014HeidiAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 2This book has a great supporting cast. I enjoyed the townspeople and their personalities. The author struck a good balance between quirky and realistic. The main character seemed disconnected to me, like she held herself aloof, which was part of her personality, but it affected my ability to connect or relate to her. Her emotions were withheld not only from the other characters but from the reader as well. The relationship she had with Ray seemed a matter of convenience- their reasons for being together or caring for each other were not developed or communicated. There was some character growth, but it was very subtle. The ending was too abrupt for me, and the epilogue didn't make up for the lack of resolution.

The Irish they love big and Family is everything
The brothers will protect the beautiful sister

If I were to venture a sports analogy,
I'd say life most resembles baseball spiritually.
We spend eons preparing in the dugout,
Then nervously strut out to take our time at bat.
The rival coach directing our adversaries
Is the Father Of Lies and man's false philosophies.
His goal is to prevent us from reaching home plate safely.
His team's minions outnumber us near-infinitely.
The rival pitcher has icy practiced steel-like nerves,
And he's struck out many with foul spitballs and curves.
He pitches things like sloth, envy, greed, media idolatry,
Addictions, "Pro Choice", perversions, porn and other immorality.
Our beloved Coach whispers to us from the dugout.
HE famously scored grand slams when HE went to bat.
If we listen to Our Coach, and with spirit swing fast and hard,
We'll knock those pitcher's balls clean out of the yard.
HE knows we won't always hit solid homers,
So HE doesn't expect us to succeed just as loners.
We might on our swing just make it to first base,
But the team batters behind us can help us reach home base.
Even though the adversary's minions outnumber us,
Only our choices will allow them to defeat us.
So with our Coach and team we must stand up,
When the Great Umpire of all calls "Batter Up!".

Who am I?
Am I defined by what is near in sight?
Am I defined by what I have done,
Or am I defined by what I could become?
Perhaps I'm of no use.
To him, or her, or I, nor you.
Or perhaps I'm too misunderstood to be defined,
And it is something like understanding that comes in time.
And if to the world I'm never shown,
Yet in my own light I've grown and grown,
And so I can know no happiness but my own--
The reason for my smile, to you, will forever be unknown.
I do not pray for the world to know my name.
For it and verse; the letters are the same.
And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads,
I pray his pain my words to keep.
Should his eyes rain on my page,
Better tears than storms of rage.
And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads.
I pray his pain my words to keep.
And if to the world you're never shown,
Yet in your own light you've grown and grown,
And so you know no happiness but your own.
Let the reason for your smile, to you, only be known.

We All know Better
By Curtis Johnson
Your smiling face will often disguise the rapid and tedious race;
But I know better
Your sweet and pleasant demeanor sometimes displays God's grace;
But not always, because at times it leaves a revealing trace.
Others may discern or detect things you cannot hide or erase,
Because they too know better
In the language of baseball, it's good to hit home runs, triples, and doubles.
But we Know better,
Because a good manager will tell you that these endeavors you must not chase
It's simply because, most times, it's better for the team if you just get on first base
So if you choose, you can say you are swell and all is well
But I know better
You can pretend things are great and wonderful; but you know better
I know that you must open up and talk about more than the sports and the weather
I know that you must open the windows of your heart to at lease someone you can tell

Good enough for speech only, not music
For only, $1, it performs better than expected. The volume is pretty low, even if I have my radio and my phone volume all the way up. The cords lengths cut it pretty close, so depending on your phone and where you place your hands free clips, it may not work too well. I like the design with the split cord for stereo jack and usb female connection (on most devices, they use usb for power now) When playing music, the quality is not good, so I will probably be buying a better transmitter. But for now, it will work because I primarily wanted it for audio books anyway - it does good for those.

NEWTON, Miss. (AP) - A tornado smashed into stores jammed with holiday shoppers and flipped over trucks Thursday, injuring about 50 people, at least two critically, authorities said.
"We've got major damage here. It's a mess," said Hamp Beatty, mayor of this eastern Mississippi town of about 3,700 people, 60 miles east of Jackson.
Gov. Ronnie Musgrove said there were no reports of deaths. He declared a state of emergency and directed the Mississippi National Guard to assist local authorities. Emergency personnel from nearby counties also were sent in to help.
A spokeswoman for the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, Amy Carruth, said two people were critically injured. About half of the 50 people sent to Newton Regional Hospital suffered relatively minor injuries, said administrator Tim Thomas. Other injuries included fractures and cuts, he said.
High wind peeled back the metal walls of Newton's Wal-Mart, tore letters off the building's sign and crushed a nearby Subway sandwich shop. The windows were blown out of the Wal-Mart storefront and nearly every car in the parking lot.
Some vehicles were overturned or smashed against utility poles, and torn-away roofs, Christmas tree decorations and tree branches were scattered along the roads approaching downtown.
"It looked like it was going to take the house away," said Alice Johnson, who was visiting her daughter when the storm hit. The tornado toppled trees in the yard but spared the house.
"I saw nothing but white clouds and it sounded like a train," said Quincy Green, who watched the storm from his window.
Beatty said there also was damage to the town's La-Z-Boy furniture plant, a fire station and other businesses.
Denise Smith, who told CNN she was inside the Wal-Mart when the storm hit, said the tornado hit the front of the store and collapsed part of the roof.
"I fell to the floor," Smith said. "Everybody was pretty calm."
Mike Brown, a supervisor at Garvin's Food Center near the Wal-Mart said he was standing beside the store's glass doors when the tornado blew through.
"The lights started blinking on and off several times. The wind pulled the doors out of my hands," said Brown.
