Want jewelry? Crimping is the fastest way to a beaded necklace or bracelet. Our step-by-step photos make it easy.
Print these instructions
Products Used
Crimp Beads (we used a 2x2mm Sterling Crimp Bead)
Beading Wire (we used .019 Clear Soft Flex)
Tools Used
Crimping Tool
Wire Cutters
The crimping tool has two notches in it-the back notch (closer to the handle) and the front notch (further from the handle). The back notch "crimps" the crimp bead and the front notch "rounds" the crimp bead.
Step 1
String a crimp bead onto the Soft Flex.
Step 2
String one end of the clasp on the Soft Flex. Then go back through the crimp bead, creating a loop around the clasp.
Step 3
Make sure that the wires are lying parallel to each other. Place the crimp bead into the back notch.
Step 4
Squish the crimp bead.
Step 5
Turn the bead a quarter turn and place the crimp bead in the front notch.
Step 6
Gently squish the crimp bead. This will fold the crimped bead over on itself.
Step 7
Use the wire cutter to cut off the small tail of the Soft Flex.
Step 8
Once one end of your piece of jewelry is completed, string your beads onto the Soft Flex.
Step 9
When you have finished stringing all of your beads, use the same crimping technique on the other end of the wire to finish the piece of jewelry.

Indian pharma in 'not hiring' mode (Photo: Bigstock)
New Delhi: The overall economic crunch has resulted in companies adopting a cautious approach in their hiring plans. Naukri.com, a major job site in India, in its survey on the pharma sector revealed a drop in overall hiring sentiment.
Around 51 percent recruiters are expecting to add new jobs in the second half of 2012, which is 16 percent lower than what was predicted by them in January 2012 survey. Similarly, in January 2012 none of the recruiters had predicted a hiring freeze in 2012, while now 11 percent recruiters are saying that hiring will come to a halt within the next six months.
Mr Sumeet Singh, senior VP, marketing and communications, Info Edge India, said that, "Although the overall hiring activity in the pharma sector has been moving at a steady pace in the first half of the year, recruiters are now preferring to adopt a cautious wait-and-watch mode for the coming quarters."
On what increments were given out to employees in 2012, 59 percent of recruiters said that the range was within 10 percent-to-15 percent and about 25 percent said that increments given out were less than 10 percent. Talent crunch seems to be an important issue being faced by recruiters in the pharma sector as 73 percent said that it is very difficult to find talent that would be suitable for the job profile.
A deeper analysis of the job scenario for the sector shows that about 33 percent jobs created in the pharma sector in 2012 are from Mumbai, 12 percent from Hyderabad and 11 percent from Bengaluru. Most job openings in the sector are for jobseekers having three-to-five years of experience.

hmmm, gives me an idea or two for a remote potato gun......
hmmm, gives me an idea or two for a remote potato gun......
Here is a picture of what I came up with. I may have done more than I actually needed but it works and thats what matters. In the pic you ill see a gap between the momentary switch and the power door lock actuator. I am going to put another switch in between those two parts and connect the Piezo mini siren from radioshack to it so I can have an alarm. The servo moves in two directions, therefore, you can run one channel function per servo. Turn the R/C transmitter wheel forward to move the servo one way, and then turn it back to move the servo in the opposite direction. This will allow two momentary switches to be set off independently.
I hope this helps somebody!
Thanks again for everybodys help!
Sorry if I didnt add pictures the right way. I couldnt figure out how to do it through the "Insert Image" button, so had to add as attachments.
And for the record....I do not take credit for any of this. The final product came from a collection of suggestions from many people! What I tried to do on my own didnt work!
Kankakee River HRC
Nice work !
I felt like I should report back....finally, I think I figured out a decent design for the homemade winger and electronics. As I said last year, I used Kiwks design for the frame...it is great, sturdy, lightweight, and folds up very nice. I went to a Scuba Store and bought the latex tubing for the bands. I used a ZingerWinger pouch and Hardware from menards (pulleys, etc). I also used a bow release with a power door lock actuator. Also, I use the piezo mini siren (9V) from Radioshack for the attention getting device.
The electronics are from CaryMart.com. I bought the 6 channel transmitter that came with 6 receivers. They program the setting and label the receivers, so all you have to do is "plug and play". The transmitter and receivers all each run off 9V battery. I have put them through quite a bit of use and havent had a problem with the original battery yet.
http://www.carymart.com/index.php?ma...0j5f0ctd4qqk27 (unfortunately, these are made in china)
One problem I have is that I cant hear the mini siren from from my max launch distance which is about 115 yards. The ideal launch distance from the company says it is 300 meters. However, I may not have the receiver set up in my box to utilize the maximum distance, either. Also, you have the option to purchase an antenna for the receivers....I goofed up and only bought one receiver with an antenna, so I havent used that one yet (I only have 2 built...I plan on building the 3rd soon).
So, each winger has 2 receiver...one functions to pull the power door lock actuator (I got from a Junkyard from Ford Explorer), and the other receiver operates the mini siren.
I do not currently have pictures, but can post them or email them for those interested!
Hopefully this helps somebody! And thanks to Kwik and all the others who have helped me finalizing the winger!
Kankakee River HRC
So this is my best shot at adding photos of my winger electronics...not sure how it will turn out....
Kankakee River HRC
And the last one...looks like it worked! I hope this helps somebody and let me know if you have any questions...my PM is almost full but feel free to PM...I will try and clear some space tonight but not sure if I will get the chance. I will check the forum...good luck!
Again...I am not taking credit for ANY of this! The idea came from tips from many people! Also, I used Kwik's design, which is GREAT! Nice work from everybody! Much appreciated!
Also, here is the website for the transmitter/recerive package I used
And here is the URL for the Piezo mini siren...I would recommend that you be sure you have the high intensity siren...mine are not and they can be tough to hear if you are about 100 yards out and training where there is alot of noise "in the background"
Radioshack project box...
9V Battery Clips
9V Battery power wires
TruFire Patriot Jr Caliper Release (ebay...this one is $22 with shipping; I found them as cheap as $12.00 before...keep an eye out!)
Power Door Lock Actuator - There are cheaper ones than this out ther ($5). The ones I used came from a Ford Explorer. I went to the junk yard and paid $1 a piece (had to take them out myself though..not too difficult!)
Stumbled upon this website as I was searching...didnt spend time looking into it but it may help somebody with "pull" function for winger electronics
I think that just about does it...let me know if ya got questions!

How do the carymart electronics compare to the Elsema?
My Elsema electronics are still working good and it's been about 6 years now. But I have to think of their eventual replacement, as I am sure they won't last forever.
Im not sure on that one...I have never used Elsema electronics. I called their company last year when I was really looking hard for a good setup because I heard quite a bit of good things about them...they told me they didnt really sell what I was looking for anymore...however, I may have dont a horrible job explaining the type of product I needed. the CaryMarts I am using have only been up and running for a few weeks...so far no problems, but I havent had them long enough to say for sure, either

Does anyone have a website for a servo that would work to push the rrt to fire like the following youtube video?
I am looking into making one like this, but need some help with the servo. I am going to try and use the carymart.com electronics like jecartag. But, I am not sure how on the youtube video he pushes a button and it actuates the servo and them the servo goes back to the home position. I understand how it would do it on a remote control car steering, but not with just the push of a button to turn it and letting off the button returns it to the home position.

This one is even better.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhXPl...layer_embedded
Seems the latest idea is to have all gunowners have liability insurance for their guns. Wonder what genius trial lawyer came up with that? So, if a group of thugs invade your home. kill or maim you before you can shoot them (with your 7 bullets), the insurance company will have to pay anybody who subsequently gets killed or injured by your gun? And you can bet that all those injured will SURELY line up to collect their due from your insurance company. Can you even imagine the tons of unintended consequences from that scheme?

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:My Attempt At Entertaining You
Thanks Howzer!!
I talked to Double Spey this evening and he said you are the expert and that I should listen to you.
RE:My Attempt At Entertaining You
Go to Alaska! I haven't been to Rainbow King, but friends that have been with them have great things to say about it. If you do the Dean you get 8 days. If you go to Rainbow King you'll likely be flying out to many different rivers and get a chance to see and learn a heck of a lot more than you'll get from 8 days floating the Dean. You'll have an amazing time up there (if the work doesn't kill you, or maim you, and it might). Do it now while you can make the time. Later in life it's not so hard to take 2 weeks to do the Dean, but for most people it gets tough to block out a summer to work (and hopefully fish) everyday in one of the last great places on the planet. The Dean is awesome, but you'll definitely have a richer experience being out every day for the 2 or 3 month season at Rainbow King.
RE:My Attempt At Entertaining You
I am hoping to be guiding at Rainbow King Lodge. Kings, silvers and BIG BIG RAINBOWS <---woohoo!!
An oppurtunity I do not want to pass up. Its a very hard choice to make not just because I will be passing up the Dean but it has hard to be away from the Mariners for more than a couple days let alone a whole summer. AHHHHH!!!
I look at the money though and allthough I do not let money rule my life it sure would be nice to pay off the credit card debt that this young 19 y/o has already managed to get himself into.
And if I do guide up in Alaska, I am seriously thinking of taking the Fall off to fish the Kispiox.
RE:My Attempt At Entertaining You
Ryan, where is your guiding opportunity? Will this be your first year? I've gone both ways in past summers. Either way you go you'll experience fishing and wildlife that you just don't get around here... like swinging flies over a run full of aggressive fish while knowing you're one step below the top of the food chain...
RE:My Attempt At Entertaining You
Here is a good compromize Although it cuts out the Dean it should satisfy your craving for BC steelhead and a summer in Alaska.
Go ahead and guide in Alaska for the summer but on your way home in the fall stop and fish the Bulkely and Morice or research another drive to fishing in the Skeena system, that leaves the option of fishing the Thompson on your way home too.
Don't know how helpful this is but it's an idea
RE:My Attempt At Entertaining You
Well Ryan, that's a tough choice... the kind a lot of us would like to have!
I am going to make the Dean one of these years. I think all serious steelheaders should do it at least once in their lifetimes. If the lottery was good to you, it's tough to pass that up.
On the other hand, it sounds like you are weighing a whole season in Alaska against a trip to the Dean... and Alaska is about as hardcore as it gets.
Tough choice!
Say, what species do you guide for up in Alaska?
RE:My Attempt At Entertaining You
On the subject of BC Steelhead, do you think I am crazy for passing up an opportunity to make a trip down the Dean this summer so that I may guide all summer in Alaska??
RE:My Attempt At Entertaining You
Thanks Rob - consider us Entertained!
As a fellow lover of large aggressive BC Steelhead, I certainly enjoyed the brief journey north with you!
And one of these days <g>, Juro's going to finish a lavish tale of his first trip to the Thompson River for our reading enjoyment.
Good to see another refugee from VFS on the Forum.
RE:My Attempt At Entertaining You
Consider me entertained! Awesome fish... I could envision the native BC beast trout, the rushing clear glacial waters, the fall foliage along the polished stone shoreline, and the bite of autumn in the valley.
Nice job - and WELCOME!
My Attempt At Entertaining You
The sun had been up for an hour or two but the ice on my tent had not yet melted and the fog had not yet risen above the tree tops. It was the last day of September and I was reluctant to rise knowing that the world outside was cold and wet. The last 2 days had been fishless for me and my confidence was starting to fade. The previous day I had had two strikes but there was just enough doubt to dull any enthusiasm they gave me. I unzipped the tent and poked my head out into the cold. Reluctantly I steped out of the tent and immediatly put on my waders and raincoat.
After a breakfast of oatmeal and tea and an hour later we had camp broken down and the raft loaded. It was my turn on the pontoon and there was a sweet piece of soft water across the river. I pushed the pontoon upriver about 100 yards through some pocket water then rowed to the head of the run on the far side. I started high in the run short, where the heavy current and the soft riffle were seperated by a bar of rocks that forced the main flow across the river. I made my casts straight across just past the outer edge of the seam with a single heavy back mend to slow the fly down. About mid-run there was a definite pluck about mid swing but no hook-up.
Every nerve in my body came to life and I no longer felt the cold. I took 3 steps back up river and cast again. This time I cast with more downstream andle and did not mend. The fly came through the swing faster this time pluck.....pluck......pluck then solid heavy throbing brought my rod to life as the fish came out of the water and agian. After gaining some measure of control I reached down for the whistle around my neck and blew it hard but there was no responce from my friends 200 yards downstream. I blow again, nothing. After a couple minutes of struggeling the fish decides to leave the pool. I followed her at a frantic pace down the steep and cobbeled banks. Finially my friends notice and come running with the camera. The fish is in the main current and comes out of the air twice more well into the backing and doubeling my 13ft Thomas and Thomas the bright steelhead feels unstopable. 200 yards downstream from where I hooked her I get some fly line back on my reel minutes later my hands are gently supporting her pose for the camera. She is a beautiful 16lb Babine Steelhead winded but not tired.
I hold her into the slow current and as I slowly release my hold the swaying of her tail grow stronger and shw slowly swims away.

Captain's ReportCobalt's Largest BowriderFor several years Cobalt's 28-footer has been the heavy-hitter of the company's bowrider lineup. This new Cobalt 302, now the largest bowrider in Cobalt's fleet, may not seem a huge jump, but it brings to bat one thing the smaller boat can't, twin engines—up to 425 horsepower each—providing the kind of muscle that promises spectacular things whenever it steps up to the plate. But it is not just the 302's big guns that are making the competition nervous. From the convertible seating and cavernous storage in the bow to the wide sunpad and side walkthrough at the stern, this versatile new player offers many talents on both sides of the ball, appealing to a wide array of fans who appreciate every aspect of a great player.Cockpit LayoutWhile glancing at the specs, twin engines may be the most obvious addition to this new boat, but it was among the last things I noticed when I was first introduced to the 302. Boarding from the stern, the starboard side walkthrough (versus the 282's center walkthrough) dramatically changes the cockpit layout, with a large L-shaped settee to port, wide sunpad adjacent to the walkthrough, and wet bar with standard refrigerator, large sink, and Corian countertop forward and to starboard. While the balanced port and starboard seating of the 282 will certainly have its fans, this new seating arrangement of the 302 keeps friends and family together on one side of the boat, giving the 302 a bit more sociable personality. When it is time for a meal, a table flips out from behind the settee—just lift the seat cushion and raise the hinged seat back, and the table, mounted on a hinged stainless steel gooseneck pedestal, flips into place with no additional parts to assemble or store. After a good meal, the 302 quickly converts for sun-soaking siesta. The seat back at the forward end of the settee flips fore and aft, forming a forward-facing companion seat behind the port windshield, or turning the settee into a long recliner. The backrest between the aft settee and sunpad flips fore and aft in similar fashion, allowing a forward-facing seat in the cockpit, or becoming a headrest for the large aft sunpad. Bow FeaturesUp in the bow, the 302 also provides convertible seating, with removable seat sections port and starboard. With the seats in place, the 302 is much like a typical bowrider, offering two long recliners to relax in the sun, or seating for about five. With the seat sections removed, the bow of the 302 instead provides two forward-facing seats just ahead of the windshield and an aft-facing bench seat in the bow for two more people, with greatly enhanced deck space.The 302's appeal isn't just practical. The boat features Cobalt's typical good looks and sophisticated refinements like topstitched upholstery with subtle but distinct logos embroidered in all seat backs, stainless steel hardware and thru hull fittings, and meticulously finished fiberglass surfaces. The helm, in particular, utilizes many of Cobalt's typical enhancements like Livorsi controls and custom Faria gauges with Cobalt's logo tastefully inscribed in on the face. New for the 302, however, the instrument panel includes a Garmin 292 color chart plotter in the center, and stainless steel pushbutton switches mounted on polished chrome trim. The upholstered dash continues across to the port side as well, where the standard-equipment six-speaker stereo--including an MP3 input jack and adjacent 12-volt outlet—will certainly play Eminem when appropriate, but is equally suited to Mozart. In short, anywhere she makes a public appearance, the 302 will be recognized as a class act.Storage and AccessibilityGreat athletes are successful largely because they mastered the fundamentals. In boat design, those fundamentals include good storage and easy access to equipment. The 302 scores high here. The huge compartment under the helm, for example, includes chocks for the removable bow seat inserts and customs hangers for life jackets and wetsuits. To access this locker, the starboard bow seat back and bottom lift as one piece, hinged at the top to create a cavernous opening. A trash bin tips out of its compartment in the walk-through to the bow, and across the boat, the head door is cleverly concealed as part of the dash. Inside, the surprisingly spacious head includes a standard Porta-Potti, plumbed to a deck fitting for dockside pump out. Options include a macerator for offshore discharge and a VacuFlush marine toilet. Numerous additional storage compartments throughout the boat include either rubber matting secured in the bilge to protect gear and provide air circulation or molded fiberglass pans, insulated and fitted with drains, allowing numerous possibilities for iced drinks. There is storage for cups and bottles in a cabinet adjacent to the wet bar, as well as ample drinkholders and nooks and crannies intended for sunglasses, sunscreen, and similar small items throughout the boat. A hatch in the cockpit deck aft allows maintenance on pumps and equipment mounted under the deck, as well as access to the engine compartment from the front. The sunpad and aft seat raise with the flip of a switch, allowing engines to be reached from the top as well, and with our test boat's MerCruiser 6.2 liter engines, the engine compartment had ample room for maintenance and repairs, as well as extra space for tools and spares. One thing I questioned though, two of the hatches in the deck are made of Starboard, a strong polyethylene used extensively in the marine industry but not often employed for broad walking surfaces. Starboard is strong and tough, but a bit more prone to scratching than fiberglass, and the non-skid pattern isn't as aggressive as the surrounding deck. Then again, the entire starboard hatch can be replaced, if gouged, for less money gelcoat repairs on fiberglass, and with Cobalt's heavyweight interior carpet snapped in place, the issue resolves itself completely.Power and PerformanceSteroids are a faux pas in sports, but anything that enhances performance is seldom frowned upon in boats. For those who prefer huge muscle, the 302 is available with twin 425 horsepower MerCruiser 496 Mag High-Output engines on dual-prop Bravo 3 sterndrives, with a top speed in the mid-sixty mile-per-hour range according to Cobalt. Our test boat was equipped with the somewhat less-ripped 320 horsepower Mercruiser 6.2 MX MPI engines on the same Bravo 3 sterndrives. We topped out at 52.9 miles-per-hour and cruised most economically at 28.5 miles-per-hour, traveling 1.6 miles-per-gallon for a 216-mile range with onboard fuel, allowing for a safe reserve. While coaching has much to do with fine-tuning the performance of an athlete, it is up to the boat's designers to fine-tune the performance of a hull. The 302 showed impressive abilities here as well, planing in 4.2 seconds, and rising evenly, without the noticeable stern-squat experienced on many deep-V boats this size. The 302 stayed on plane down below 20 miles-per-hour too, and accelerated quickly from any speed, proving the engines and hull were a well-matched combination. Cobalt's deep-V hull gives the boat straight tracking and a smooth ride in a chop, and the reversed chine digs in on tight turns and mitigates spray for a dry ride.While just a rookie on the company's roster, my intuition and experience in the field tell me Cobalt's 302 just may be the next superstar out of Kansas.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Cobalt 302 is 52.9 mph (85.1 kph), burning 48.6 gallons per hour (gph) or 183.95 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Cobalt 302 is 28.5 mph (45.9 kph), and the boat gets 1.60 miles per gallon (mpg) or 0.68 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 216 miles (347.62 kilometers).
- Tested power is 2 x 320-hp MerCruiser MX 6.2 (Bravo III).

Makati oil leak sparks 'RP's biggest environmental lawsuit'
MANILA, Philippines - A leak on the oil pipeline owned by First Philippine Industrial Corp. could spark the country's biggest environmental lawsuit because of its potential effects on provinces from South Luzon to Manila.
Atty. Lorna Kapunan is inviting residents of Cavite, Batangas and Laguna to join the "country's biggest environmental case" being prepared by West Tower residents against the Lopez-owned FPIC for the damage caused by its leaking pipeline.
"This involves not only the city of Makati [but also] Batangas, Cavite, Laguna. [This is not only] a class suit, but a citizens' suit," Kapunan, who represents West Tower unit owners, told ABS-CBN's morning show, "Umagang Kay Ganda."
She said that West Tower residents will try to convince, not only other Barangay Bangkal residents, but also other communities.
The pipeline stretches from Osmeña Highway in Makati City, Laguna province and all the way to Batangas province. The pipeline is used to transport 50% to 60% of the petroleum needs of Metro Manila.
Kapunan said that instead of filing a class suit before the Makati City Regional Trial Court, they will file a "citizens' suit" against FPIC before the Supreme Court.
The lawyer had said that West Tower residents were preparing a petition for writ of kalikasan, a legal measure specifically meant to protect one's right to a healthy environment.
She said that they are looking at the possibility of filing a unified petition against FPIC with civic groups and non-governmental organizations.
Kapunan said that part of the suit is to demand from the FPIC to replace the whole pipeline and the gas-contaminated soil in the whole Bangkal area.
She said they are confident that the Lopez group, which owns FPIC, has the capability to replace the contaminated soil in the whole Bangkal area, just like what it did with the Power Plant Mall.
"Hindi naman apology ang kailangan natin. Ang kailangan natin ay hindi lang takpan ang butas, kailangan palitan ang buong pipeline... Kailangan pag-aralan nila paano i-replace ang soil na iyan," Kapunan said.
The Lopez-led FPIC found on Sunday 4 to 5 mung bean-sized holes in a portion of its pipeline that traverses Batangas up to the oil depot in Pandacan.
FPIC started checking its pipes after receiving complaints from the residents of West Tower. Barrels of effluent from the condominium's basement have been collected since July.
The holes were found in a portion of the pipeline below the Magallanes flyover.

UC Santa Cruz Nuclear Expert Daniel Hirsch: 'Every Amount of Radiation Exposure Increases Your Risk of Cancer.' 'There Is No Safe Level of Radiation.'
– UC Santa Cruz nuclear expert warns of possible meltdowns (Mercury News):
SANTA CRUZ — The meltdown at a Japanese nuclear power plant after a large earthquake and tsunami rocked the island nation last month drew more than 100 people to a lecture Wednesday by UC Santa Cruz lecturer Daniel Hirsch.
Hirsch, a renowned expert on nuclear policy often quoted by major media outlets, spoke at the Stevenson College Event Center on the tragedy at the Fukushima plant and how the U.S. can prevent a similar meltdown at its 104 nuclear reactors, including the two in California.
Hirsch emphasized the constant need to keep nuclear fuel cool, and said cooling systems can go awry when the proper back-up safety measures aren't in place.
"A nuclear reactor is an absolutely extraordinary machine that actually can't be turned off," he said. "If you lose cooling, there's no way to extract the heat, and radioactivity is released. As long as the reactor is cool and the fuel stays solid, things are relatively safe."
The lecture included detailed descriptions of how a nuclear reactor works and how fuel is cooled and stored. Pictures and diagrams aided his talk.
The disaster that destroyed three of Fukushima's reactors and four spent fuel pools was a result of the March 11 earthquake that knocked out the plant's electrical power.
The plant resorted to its diesel-run generators for power when the electricity went out, however, the tsunami that came on the heels of the earthquake demolished the generators, leaving the plant scrambling for another power source, Hirsch said.
Batteries did little to keep the fuel cool, he said.
"It's an accident all of us in the nuclear field have been worried about for decades – losing power to the station and the pumps stop working," Hirsch said.
Hirsch warned that a decades-old study estimated that a meltdown at the Southern California nuclear plant in Onofre could release enough radiation to immediately kill 130,000 people, cause cancer to 300,000 and genetic defects in 600,000 more.
"Every amount of radiation exposure increases your risk of cancer," he said. "There is no safe level of radiation."
As far as radiation released from Fukushima, Hirsch said experts "do not have a good handle on the amount," though the ocean water nearby has shown elevated levels.
Many people in the audience said they were motivated to attend the talk because of what happened in Japan and are worried about what safeguards are being used in the U.S.
"It seems off-putting that Japan was not more prepared," UCSC senior Kyle Wojnar, 22, said. "I'm here to get the facts."
Recent graduate Navid Tofighian, 34, said he was interested in the talk because nuclear energy and weapons are major "global issues."
"The human error with nuclear power and the threat from that is too extreme," Tofighian said.
The MSM lie to you about this every day. The truth is very painful:
– Dr. Helen Caldicott: How Nuclear Apologists Mislead The World Over Radiation
– Dr. Brian Moench: There Is No 'Safe' Exposure To Radiation
– Dr. Peter Karamoskos: Don't Be Fooled By A Never-Ending Cabal Of Paid Industry Scientific "Consultants' – Radiation Is Bad And Causes Cancer
– Are There Safe Levels of Radiation? How Much Radiation Is Safe? (Must-read!!!!!)
– The Propaganda From The Government And The Nuclear Industry About Low-Level Radiation Is Absolute Rubbish

He's not a nuclear expert. He's a sociology adjunct lecturer and has no idea what he's talking about vis-a-vis physics and biology.

Hirsch does not even have a degree in nuclear energy and claims to be an "expert" on nuclear energy? No wonder nuclear energy is so misunderstood and people do not realize that it is a clean, safe and reliable energy source.

Basmati, the royal rice, finds an ideal partner in saffron, the world's most expensive spice.
Rice pilafs (pulaos) in India are generally served with the whole spices used in cooking. The spices not only make for an appealing presentation but also continue to flavor the rice. The spices are not eaten but are simply pushed aside when the rice is eaten.
Pay extra attention when roasting cashews and raisins because they turn light brown almost instantly in hot oil.
Store saffron threads in their original airtight container in a cool, dry area.
Saffron is the stigma of the crocus flower (crocus sativa), a delicate purple blossom. About 5,000 flowers must be handpicked to produce a single ounce of saffron. A little saffron goes a long way—a few threads will permeate the entire dish with a pungent aroma and rich yellow hue.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – A shaky second inning included a mound visit by Mike Bianco, but the speech was more about strategy than fire and emotion.
"You think I chewed their rear ends, don't you? I probably felt like it but didn't," the Ole Miss coach said.
Whatever the content, Mike Mayers and his teammates took the message to heart and took Kentucky to the woodshed in an 11-5 win to even their SEC series Friday before a Swayze Field announced crowd of 7,676.
The winner of today's 2:15 p.m. game will take the series unless rain forces a cancellation. The game, if played, will be televised by Fox Sports Net.
No. 18 Ole Miss (31-13, 11-9 SEC) collected 13 hits, three of them from Andrew Mistone, who missed the cycle by a home run and drove in five runs.
The 11 runs were the Rebels' most in an SEC game and a welcome relief for Mayers. Ole Miss had averaged just 22⁄3 runs in his six SEC starts.
The Rebels jumped on Kentucky left-hander Jerad Grundy with four runs in the first but squandered nearly all of that good fortune the next half inning. Mayers allowed a walk and an infield hit to the first two batters.
One run scored on a balk when Mayers fell off the mound, another when first baseman Preston Overbey couldn't catch a head-high throw from catcher Stuart Turner after Turner dropped a third strike.
Kentucky (25-17, 8-12) had Mayers wobbly in the second didn't have the strength for the big push. He stayed in the game and recovered to throw four more scoreless innings. He lasted six innings with three walks, eight strikeouts and only one hit.

Dreaming in Disko Bay0
I was out on deck early the morning we entered Disko Bay. Fog surrounded the ship, hazy blue-grey into infinity, light rain and calm seas. As I watched, a giant iceberg appeared through the mist, looming ominously before it faded away into oblivion. Another appeared, then yet another. Soon the ship wove carefully through a landscape of ice, each piece as unique as an individual person. "It was as if they had been borne down from a world of myth, some Gotterdammerung of noise and catastrophe", Barry Lopez had written. "Fallen pieces of the moon". I stared out in wonder at their silence and their magnitude.

Corn soup is a street food favorite here in Trinidad, especially at carnival time when vendors ply large pots of it that they spoon into styrofoam cups outside of fetes and clubs. It's also popular as a Saturday lunch. Chopped pieces of corn on the cob are often included, however in the variation I prepared below I have left them out. Feel free to add them back in though if you want the added texture 🙂

So there, QI!
The most glaring QI error I know is they've twice (in my hearing) called Galileo the inventor of the telescope, which is indisputably factually incorrect. But another example demonstrates the meanness of some of their answers. I can't remember the exact wording, but someone (probably poor old Alan Davies) got the dreaded noise when suggesting that UK secret service field operatives are called agents. The QI team came up with some guff that agents were office-bound workers, not field people.
However in the last fortnight, both the head of MI6 and several people from MI5 have very clearly called field operatives 'agents'. Now it may well be that according to some jobsworth job title they aren't agents, but this is obviously what they are called. So, sorry QI, you got it wrong again - and Alan D. deserves his points back.

Dear Stephen,ReplyDelete
During last weeks programme during the course of a certain topic you referred I believe to people born in England as "British Subjects". You obviously have not looked in your RED passport recently, as from 1984 (when the old BLUE passports were done away with) you became I would suggest a "Britsh Citizen" (Take a look). We were not asked, or consulted I think you will find...but as usual, it just happened. I believe you will find that to remain a British Subject (of the Queen God Bless Her) you would have needed to have been born in Malta, Gibraltar, or the like.
It is also interesting in passing, that if one wishes to travel to the United States these days, if you hold a new red passport stating that you are a BRITISH CITIZEN, you can travel there using the Visa Waver Programme.....but if you were classed as a BRITISH SUBJECT you wound require a formal visa from the US Embassy (in London or wherever).

Thanks for your comment, Mr Cooper, but this isn't actually Stephen Fry's site - I was merely commenting on QI.ReplyDelete

During this evening's episode, it was said that the nearest bit of American soil was in Surrey at the JFK memorial. This isn't correct: the plinth of the George Washington monument in Trafalgar Square is full of soil from virginia after Washington exclaimed he would never set foot on British soil!ReplyDelete
To be fair, Michael, it depends where you are. If you're in Surrey, then the JFK memorial soil is the nearest. In fact it's probably nearest to anyone west of London in the UK.ReplyDelete
I just saw a clip online of the age of consent episode - Stephen said the lowest was Vatican (12) because they set it at Italy's level when the Lateran Treaty was established. Has anyone looked into this? I read about it in a history class and remember that the Vatican law code copies current Italian law, so the age of consent would be whatever Italy's is now.ReplyDelete
Just as a followup - take a look at Section 2, Subsection EReplyDelete
In QI Hocus Pocus, the rule relating to I before E is discussed.ReplyDelete
It seems some people have forgotten the entire rule.
The entire rule (as taught to me in the 60s) is "I before E except after C in syllables rhyming with B".
There are very few exceptions to this rule, however when you hobble rule you end up with more exceptions.

'I before E except after C, when the sound is E' is a perfectly sound rule.ReplyDelete
The only exceptions to the rule are proper nouns, such as 'Keith'.

suicide solution is an Ozzy Osbourne track not as Phil Jupitus claimed a Judas Preist one. The JP track from the trial was "Better By You, Better Than Me"ReplyDelete

Confirmed! The track was Better By You, Better Than Me, a JP cover of a Spooky Tooth song from 1969. JP never covered "Suicide Solution", which is an Ozzy Osbourne song.
By the way, 'Solution' is meant in a chemical way, as in 'several components mixed together' not as 'a way to deal with a problem'.
Also: not both young men were killed, the second one was severely wounded and later testified during the trial.

Stephen Fry was wrong for once when he said that the Finns beat the Soviets in the 1940 Winter War.ReplyDelete
Certainly the Finns gave a good account for themselves and surprised almost everyone by their ability against the Soviets. But sadly they did lose and had to give up 11% of their territory as a result of the Moscow Peace Treaty (12 March 1940).
On an question asking when in this picture has the sun set. Stephen Fry talked about the effect of the Earth's gravity on the bending of light. But he didn't mention that the time it took light to reach the earth from the Sun is around 8 minutes. Doesn't this effect the answer more?ReplyDelete
Ed S - that's an interesting one! Just to clear up one point, the bending is due to refraction in the air, not due to Earth's gravity which would have a tiny effect.ReplyDelete
Because sunset is caused by the rotation of the Earth, it is arguable that the image of the sun it is concerned with is the image at the Earth, not that at the sun itself. But it is true that the light takes 8 minutes to reach us, so at the point in time that you see the sun set, you are seeing light that left it eight minutes ago.
Having listened to you talking about the Natural History Museum, I was reminded that my daughter took my Grandson, age 4 to see the dinosaurs. They walked in, he looked around and said,"Well, I wasn't expecting to only see bones, don't they even move?"ReplyDelete
i saw on a a recent episode of IQ a "fact" about the human body being a max. of 8 to 10 years old.ReplyDelete
can someone provide more information on this.
neill Terry
Hello Neill. This reflects the fact that the cells in the body are constantly being replaced, some relatively quickly (skin cells, for instance), others over a longer timescale. But with around 10 years you would expect ever cell to have been replaced and so, in essence, it is not the same body as you had 10 years previously.ReplyDelete
Nice to meet you.ReplyDelete
google is used to convert the Japanese to English translation.

BBC QI I was searching for, I found this page.
(´Д`)I think it is more unlucky me.
This is a joke.
But now, with a bitter smile.
It seems there was unlucky to be broadcast by the double Atomic bomb survivors. For it seems there was also a formal apology.
Somehow. This is a somehow.
TV in Japan, I saw the message of the survivors. I think people have already died.
(´Д`)One for all, All for one.
Such messages.
QI in the broadcast, if there can touch this story, the survivors, what a good message.
QI can not even contact the participants, I will write you a comment.
(´Д`)"THE KING'S SPEECH" movieeee.
It is not related to this story.
Writing here, in what may be no adequate, Hope you remember that there were stories like this.
... "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" now read chapter 9. What is some kind parcel? What will the Philosopher's Stone was related to stone at the entrance? A little is fun.
Last week I watched QI and found that the topic veered off to the subject of the Battle of Culloden, about which many people have misconceptions. The main misconception is that it was an English versus Scots event. That was satisfactorily dismissed, I was pleased to note. However, there was one very big irritant in that none of them seemed to know how to pronounce the name of the event in question. Oddly enough, Culloden is pronounced as it is spelled. It is NOT Culluden, as Stephen Fry seems to believe. We have heard this pronunciation on odd occasions from people who should check with Scots as to how we pronounce it. London may be pronounced as if it is spelled "Lundun". Culloden ain't.ReplyDelete

There have been two blatant errors in QI in the past years in my opinion. Very early on they said that there wasn't a welsh word for blue (there is glas), and in one of the more recent series Stephen Fry claimed there was no muscles in the hand, I actually make there out to be 14 muscles in the hand, grouped into thenar muscles, hypothenar muscles and lumbricals. However, I only know these facts because I'm a welsh medic...ReplyDelete
On last night's QI, 'Adwaitya' was claimed to have been the longest lived Giant Tortoise. Adwaitya is claimed to have been the pet of Clive of India and died at the age of 255. So far as I am aware, the claim that Adwaitya was Clive's pet cannot be verified and the record, according to the Guinness Book of Records, still belongs to Tu'i Malila the giant Aldabra presented to the Tongan Royal Family by Capt. Cook in 1777. Tu'i Malila died in 1965 at the age of 188.ReplyDelete
I must admit, I stand to be corrected on this point.
As far as the opening comment is concerned - this is from the MI5 website:ReplyDelete
"Although our members of staff are often erroneously described as "agents", we refer to them as officers."
the point being that "officers" are on the staff, whereas "agents" are their sources.
To declare an interest, I'm involved with the show.
Thanks, PF (though isn't it MI6 we usually think of having James Bond style agents, not MI5) - but in the end who is most like to be right, a website or the head of MI6? I know which I'd go with!ReplyDelete
The website wasn't our original source, though - I really just offered it so as to chuck a bit of easy-to-link evidence into this discussion. The main point is that you misheard what we said: "The QI team came up with some guff that agents were office-bound workers, not field people" is nearly the opposite of what we asserted.ReplyDelete
As the Security Service site says: "An agent is a person who works for us as a "Covert Human Intelligence Sources" - i.e. someone who provides secret intelligence to us. They are one of our most important sources of intelligence. Agents are not members of the Security Service and are not on our staff."
Fair enough - but it doesn't really change the position. The head of MI6 was refering to people in the classic role that we would call agents (i.e. James Bond types) as... AGENTS.ReplyDelete
BTW can you explain why I have twice heard it said on QI that Galileo invented the telescope? That is unbelievably wrong!ReplyDelete
If you'd like to point me at the actual quotation from the head of the SIS then I'd be happy to figure out where the confusion arises. It's possible that the s/he was addressing her/his audience in terms that they would relate to, perhaps? If, by "James Bond types", you mean people who are on the staff of the Intelligence Services, then they are certainly referred to as "Officers" within the services (and not "agents"); but if the context was a speech to a lay audience then I suppose Sawers or whoever might well have found it simpler to conform to their expectations than to make a point of being accurate.ReplyDelete
Incidentally, the MI6 website also confirms the usage (https://www.sis.gov.uk/careers/roles/operational-officers.html).
As to Galileo, if you remind me which episodes contained the statements, I'll check what we said and why. It is sometimes the case that statements which are made "off script" slip through the net, so maybe that's what happened here. Galileo was a pioneer in the development of the telescope from the very earliest days, of course.
Sorry PF - we're talking about something I heard on the radio in December 2010 when the original post was made - I can't tell you where it was heard.ReplyDelete
Similarly re Galileo - but I can tell you definitely that Stephen Fry has twice said that Galileo invented the telescope with no 'if's or 'but's.
Galileo was certainly part of the early wave, but the telescope was in use in the Netherlands some years earlier, and there is reasonable evidence that the Digges father & son team had an operational telescope in the previous century. (There are also suggestions Roger Bacon may have constructed something in the 13th century, though that is more speculative.)

There have been a few corrections mentioned in the show itself, but never was the atrocious German vocab/usage question been corrected. Admittedly, most native speakers have to make do with feeds and DVDs but surely there are enough around to write in and ask was zum Teufel Stephen said there, because it sure wasn't any German dialect or word. In fact it was so strange I cannot remember either of them, nor would I know how to transcribe the sounds. Where is the language elf to complain to!ReplyDelete

On IQ episode 9(i)03, Steven stated that only the boa constrictor is named both scientifically and commonly as such. I'd like to point out that this attribute also applies for the Mola Mola, although sunfish might be a more commonly known alternativeReplyDelete
regards from the Netherlands
I was watching an episode on Dave the other night in which the question was asked "How old are you?" 3 of the 4 contestants were docked 10 points for giving thier age (Not Alan Davies). Steven then explained that all your cells are replaced about every 10 years. I then watched a documentary on one of the documentary channels saying that the only cells that stay with you for life are your "Pacemaker cells" in the heart. Is this true and can the 3 contestants have thier points back? It was Darah and Graham Norton and A N Other. (can't remember)ReplyDelete
Liam in Barnsley
Hi Liam - I think neurons, once formed stay with you for life as well (some do go/are produced new, but not all of them). It wouldn't surprise me if what you say about the 'pacemaker' cells is true. However, sadly, this isn't a blog directly connected to QI, so I can't give them their points - but I'm sure they can have them virtually.ReplyDelete
To be fair, my understanding is that (at least when it comes to MI6) the people who would commonly reffered to as agents by the public are actually called 'Case Officers' whereas 'Agents' are the people case officers liase with to obtain information. Check the MI6 website, it says so on there.ReplyDelete
During the magical Christmas edition Daniel Radcliffe says that by when you catch the snitch in quidditch you win the game, but all that happens is that the games end and the team receives 250 points, granted, this does lead to most winning, however it isn't automatic. It has just been on Dave and I felt the need to correct harry potter :-)ReplyDelete

Brazil's banks are rallying today–big time. Itau Unibanco (ITUB) has gained 3.9% to $17.27, Banco Bradesco (BBD) has climbed 3.3% to 16.77 and Banco Santander Brasil (BSBR) has jumped 3.2% to $7.35.
Bloomberg has a theory for the banks gains: Investors are betting on fewer rate hikes.
The Ibovespa rallied to a one-week high as companies that depend on domestic demand gained amid speculation that policy makers will limit increases in Brazil's target lending rate.
Barclays captures the zeitgeist:
The minutes of the April Copom meeting signaled that the global growth outlook is again the key driver of Brazil's monetary policy. We maintain our forecast that the BCB will deliver three more 25bp hikes, pushing the Selic rate up to 8.25% by August. Renewed concerns about the global growth outlook, a temporary downtrend in domestic inflation, global flows searching for yield, and the risk that the tightening cycle could be smaller than expected are factors supporting a receiving bias.
Itau Unibanco also looks set to win Citigroup's (C) Brazilian consumer-finance business. From the Wall Street Journal's MoneyBeat:
Brazil's largest private sector bank in terms of assets Itau Unibanco Holding SA is in pole position to buy Brazilian credit-card and consumer-financing arms of Citigroup Inc., according to a banker with knowledge of the deal.
"Citi informed the banks involved in the dispute that Itau has priority for the purchase and Citigroup set a timetable of two weeks to reach a deal," said a banker, who declined to be named for this article. "Right now, the talks are exclusively between Citi and Itau executives."
The iShares MSCI Brazil Capped Index ETF (EWZ) has gained 1.5% to %55.57 today.

Spring was one of Constable's favourite seasons (summer was the other), and it inspired some of his most delightful paintings. He wrote: 'I love the exhilarating freshness of Spring' (Beckett III, p. 103), and that spring has perhaps more than an equal claim to the painter's 'notice and admiration', because of
the great variety of the tints and colours of the living foliage, besides having the flowers and blossoms. The beautiful and tender hues of the young leaves and buds are rendered more lovely by being contrasted, as they now are, with the sober russet browns of the trees and hedges from which they shoot …
The ploughman 'leaning o'er the shining share', the sower'stalking with measured step the neighbouring fields', are conspicuous figures in the vernal landscape; and last, though not least in interest, the birds, whose songs again cheer the labourer at his work, and complete the joyous animation of the new season (Beckett, Discourses, p. 15).
In this oil sketch Constable used his paint expressively to capture his feelings for spring. He showed ploughing on East Bergholt Common, with its windmill – after the common had been enclosed (in 1816) and ploughing allowed there (I. Fleming-Williams, 'A runover dungle and a possible date for "Spring"', Burlington Magazine, vol. 114, June 1972, pp. 390–91). He portrayed an expansive flat land with a low horizon under a cloudy sky suggestive of squally weather. The cool shadows of the large clouds reflected on the ground strengthen the greens and yellows of the fields. As in his two versions of A ploughing scene in Suffolk (A summerland),painted in1814 and c.1824 , he depicted the ploughman with two horses working side by side rather than in a team of four – the efficient, modern mode of ploughing in this area. The windmill had belonged to Constable's father and Constable had worked there as a boy.
Constable probably painted this work in the studio, using a drawing made in a small sketchbook on 19 April 1821, but he followed the drawing closely.
This is the oil painting that Lucas used as a basis for the mezzotint, Spring(cats 89–92), and it is possible that Constable painted it especially for the mezzotint. If so, he may have painted it in 1829, when Lucas began to work on the mezzotint. In Constable's text for the mezzotint, he quoted lines of the eighteenth-century poet Mark Akenside, 'Light and shade alternate, warmth and cold …' (Beckett, Discourses, p. 14).

Temper Tantrum
My 18 month son is usually calm, but there are time when I tell him no-no he turns red and yells. I've tried different method to get him to stop. I've tried whispering to him, ignoring it, and trying to distract him with something else. Sometimes these work and sometimes I just have to give him space. Any more suggestions on how to tackle this?
13th May 2012 02:04 AM #2
It sounds like your son is testing his boundaries, so it's going to be your job to let him know that you are in control (so that he doesn't feel out of control). Having worked as an Office Manager in a preschool for 6 years, I learned a lot from the Director and the teachers there, and I used some of what I learned with my own 5 children.
When your son yells, it is a sign that he cannot control himself (or his temper). Something that I've seen work very effectively is to immediately go to him, kneel down and look him in the eye. Do what it takes to be sure he is looking at you as you speak the next few words... "I will not let you do that." These words need to be spoken with authority, in a firm tone, and your facial expression should show that you are not happy with his behavior (you won't be smiling and you won't be saying this in a soft tone - you will look serious and sound serious, because this IS serious). You need him to understand that you're in control and you're not going to let him act that way.
That may be enough for him to stop. If he stops, take him in your arms and give him a hug. Then you can soften your voice and say, "Mama loves you and I won't let you yell - that's not okay." This will reassure him that you love him and that you're in control so he doesn't have to be out of control. It will also help him to know what his boundaries are. If you set the boundaries now, and the expectation, your parenting journey will be much easier
Hope this helps.
Warm regards,

I bought nine of these boxes for organizing my supplies by season/family/etc. They are perfect for storing embellishments and specialty 12x12 paper. These boxes fit great in an oversize storage cube unit I bought from Target. I will be ordering more of these boxes as my re-organization continues. Great service from Scrapbook.com when I had questions on my order. Fast shipping...great product and great company!
I bought this to add to a wall unit, that is exposed for others to see, I have a craft room, I wanted a box, that looked nice and yet sturdy enough to hold my scrapping items. Very sturdy and strong build.
I really wanted the Martha Stewart boxes which weren't available anywhere. I bought these, and they will work fine. They are reasonably sturdy, but I wouldn't stack more than a couple if they are filled. They hold quite a lot and are generously sized.
A complaint: There's a label holder on the box, but it doesn't come with any labels. When you make your own, you have to be careful and cut them a bit large or they fall right through when you insert them. I noticed the 3 I bought are not all the same size. They differ slightly, so it looks like I have 3 slightly different ones stacked up. I'm OK with that. They also weren't very careful about where they put the paper seams, and the cover paper is cheap looking. They would have looked much better with an orange peel style texture. Since these are in a closet, I care more about functionality.

This is a prime example of how naive our President is. AIG wants to pay 165mil in performance bonuses. That means revenue generators (sales) is doing thier job by bring in the dough. What O doesn't understand is that's how businesses work and make a profit. Something AIG is trying to do.
I'm againts all the bailouts but, if you are going to interfer with the free market, then don't berate them for paying thier producers. Government has no place in private business and should have never gotten involved to begin with. Businesses do NOT need an inexperienced President looking over thier shoulder!
Dodd wants to tax AIG bonuses. Some one needs to tell him that Bonuses are already taxed at 40%! The Feds can't just pass an extra tax bonus on AIG employees and not tax all bonuses the same, for everyone. Of course, bonuses are rewards for producers and we can't have that in our new socialist economy.

I saw this part from the battlefield3 presentation (http://dice.se/wp-content/uploads/GDC11_DX11inBF3_Public.pdf) on page 30 where they show how they transfer transformations of each instance to the shader using a single big buffer and a const buffer with indices to index this buffer at the right position using the SV_InstanceID semantic. Can someone tell me what exactly this buffer is ?
This part here:
Buffer<float4> instanceVectorBuffer : register(t0);
I'm not too familiar with buffers in directx11 beyond constant buffers...
Isn't register(t0) for texture slots ? Also they seem to use 3x4 floats for their transformations, so does that mean they construct their transformation matrix inside the shader using translation, rotation and scale vectors ?
And last how would I set such a buffer in the DX11 API ?
