How do I avoid vertical, glass on glass, grouting disasters?
stxmona Tue, Jan 11, 05 at 7:41
Okay all you vertical glass on glass people - I need help. Last night I decided to grout a couple of bottles that I used Weldbond to prime, Weldbond to glue the glass on and have been sitting for a month. Mix up my grout to about the consistancy of soft cookie dough. Used my hands to apply it to the bottles. This is when the disaster starts...when I began gently rubbing the grout into the grout lines...some of my glass started coming off..okay a few pieces I can fix that. But as I went along more and more came off. Finally I gave up and put the pieces in a bucket of water. HELP - what did I do wrong???? I have NOT grouted anything vertical before. Was my grout to wet? Am I not suppose to rub into the grout line areas? I NEED YOUR ADVICE - I have to grout the fish vase this weekend and am now frighten that the same thing will happen!!!

I have used wellbond and silicone for glass on glass. I really prefer the silicone, I am determined to use up the large container of well bond I bought though. I find it needs to sit or a good several weeks before grouting. I have never had any pieces come off when grouting though. It makes me think it hadent cured long enough, and maybe the grout was perhaps too thick. I think soft cookie dough describes a good grout inconsistency though. Is the well bond still showing white at all? If so it isnt dry yet.On smaller pieces I have put them in the oven with just the light on over night, or even with a low temp setting to help this stuff dry. My last large glass on glass window will likely sit for a couple weks before I try to grout it, it is too large for my oven.Cindy

stxmona, I feel for you..that happened to me twice. The first time the piece wasn't glued properly, it was barely holding on. When it happened again I figured out that I was being too aggressive while grouting. I would wipe too hard to get the grout off and my sponge had too much water in it after I rinsed it out. Now, I used a plastic knife and put the grout on like I'm icing a cake. Next, I use a sponge and press the grout into the cracks, gently. I wait a few minutes and then start wiping away the grout. I grout the same or next day I finish a piece, so it doesn't have to be completely dry. I hope this helps you.

I use Weldbond because I have youngens and I'm pregnant. I'm probably going to try silicone after I have this baby.
by: annsb (My Page) on Wed, Jan 12, 05 at 10:35
So from this discussion it seems that for vertical grouting then silicone is the suggested product although Misa has had no problems with weldbond so far! I take it then that if you can lay the piece flat when glueing and grouting then weldbond isn't as...

The NYT told readers that the Republican Party:
"regards environmental regulations as job killers and a brick wall to economic recovery."
Actually, the NYT has no idea how the Republican Party (presumably it means its leaders) views environmental regulations. It is entirely possible that most leaders are familiar with the research that shows that most environmental regulations have had little or no impact on jobs.
Republican leaders may also know that industry groups have a long history of making outlandish claims about job loss. (For example, the Clean Air Act was supposed to cost around 600,000 jobs. There was zero evidence of job loss after the bill was implemented.) Republicans may opt to echo such claims because they get campaign contributions from the affected industries and they know that the media will never hold them accountable for even the most absurd claims made on behalf of industry groups.
Ryan Avent criticizes the building restrictions in California's coastal cities in arguing for the benefit of increased population density in cities. He contrasts the high house prices in cities like San Francisco and San Jose with Phoenix, which has few restrictions on building.
Phoenix may not be an ideal city for such a comparison. It was one of the cities that was most caught up in the bubble. Five years ago there would not have been anywhere as near as large a difference between house prices in the coastal cities and Phoenix.
Source: Case-Shiller 20 City Index.
It is not clear that the pattern in Phoenix's housing market is one that many cities would want to emulate.
During the days when the housing bubble was inflating to ever more dangerous levels its main source on the housing market was David Lereah, the chief economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the author of the 2006 best-seller, Why the Real Estate Boom Will Not Bust and How You Can Profit From It. Remarkably, its main source now for the housing market is Lereah's replacement at the NAR, Lawrence Yun.
It seems that the Post still doesn't understand that there was a housing bubble. This means that prices fell from bubble-inflated levels and that they are not coming back. This is just like the NASDAQ which peaked at over 5000 in March of 2000. More than 10 year later it stands at less than half this level.
It's the same story with house prices. They peaked at levels that were more than 70 percent above their long-term trend. They still have not fully returned to their trend levels, having about 10 percent more to decline. There is absolutely zero reason to think that nationwide house prices will rise from current levels.
There continues to be an enormous excess supply of housing which can be most directly demonstrated by the fact that the housing vacancy rate remains near the record high set in 2010. There is nothing in the fundamentals of the supply and demand of the housing market that would indicate that we should expect house prices to rise from their long-term trend.
This means that when the Post or anyone else refers to "speeding a housing recovery" in a way that implies higher prices, they are trying to tell you that they know nothing about the housing market.
The NYT has been sponsoring a competition between Thomas Friedman and David Brooks to see who can say more silly things about the economy. Brooks has a couple of good entries in today's column. Brooks told readers that:
"There's strong evidence to suggest that the rate of technological innovation has been slowing down."
Actually there is zero evidence to support this assertion. The standard measure of technological innovation is productivity growth. This was close to 3.0 percent annually from 1947 to 1973. It fell to about 1.5 percent from 1973 to 1995. It then increased to 2.5 percent in the years since 1995. Brooks might have a point if he were writing in the late 70s or early 80s, but he isn't.
He then tells readers the distressing news that:
"nearly all of the job growth over the past 20 years has been in sectors where American workers don't have to compete with workers overseas."
This is true and it implies the exact opposite of the sort of genuflection that we get in the rest of Brooks' piece. Suppose that the United States produces both manufactured goods and professional services (e.g. physicians' services, lawyers' services, etc.). Suppose that we prohibit the importation of professional services but promote the importation of manufactured goods with "free-trade" agreements. We would expect that we lose jobs in manufactured goods, although we might continue to generate jobs in professional services.
Let's take it a step further and imagine that we then jack up the value of the dollar because the tough guys at the Treasury believe in a "strong dollar." This will make U.S. manufactured goods even more expensive relative to their foreign competition, causing manufacturing employment to decline even further.
There are two simple remedies to the plunge in employment in manufacturing. One would be to open the professional services to international competition. This means eliminating the barriers that protect highly paid professions (e.g. doctors, dentists, lawyers) from international competition. This will make the services that they produce (i.e. medical care) much cheaper for the rest of the country, thereby raising real wages.
Increased imports of professional services will also put downward pressure on the value of the dollar, which gets us to the other simple remedy: get the dollar down. The dollar is the main determinant of the relative price of foreign and domestically produced goods. If we want to generate more jobs in sectors that compete internationally then the key is to make our goods relatively less expensive. This is very simple, although the politics of bringing about a lower valued dollar might be somewhat difficult.
So there you have Brooks' entries. He has a tirade about a decline in the rate of innovation that does not exist, and he fails to notice the impact of trade barriers and an over-valued dollar on trade. This is pretty good in the missing the boat category, but he doesn't hold a candle to Thomas Friedman.
I have been saying that it takes roughly 90,000 jobs a month to keep pace with the underlying growth rate of the labor force. This means that more rapid growth should lead to declines in the unemployment rate while less rapid growth would lead to increases.
Many other analysts have used higher numbers. For example, in her NYT blognote, Catherine Rampell suggested that the necessary number for keeping pace with the growth of the labor force is 150,000 jobs a month. People have often asked me to explain the difference.
I can't say where others are getting their higher numbers from, but I know where I get my numbers. The Congressional Budget Office projects that the labor force will grow 0.7 percent annually for the next several years. If we go back to the pre-recession level of payroll employment (140 million), this implies 980,000 jobs a year or 82,500 a month.
There is another way to back out a growth number. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the civilian non-institutionalized population over age 16 increased by 1,781,000 people over the last 12 months. If we assume that 64 percent of this increment to the above age 16 population is employed (roughly the 2000 percent) then this would imply an increase in employment of 1,140,000.
However, this would overstate payroll employment slightly since roughly 6 percent of the workforce is self-employed. If we assume that 6 percent of the increment is also self-employed, this implies that roughly 1,070,000 payroll jobs are needed to keep pace with the growth of the labor force, or just under 90,000 a month.
Anyhow, that is how I get my job growth estimate.
The Post notes the division among the members of the Fed's Open Market Committee over the best course to reduce unemployment and maintain price stability. It then tells readers,
"The Fed will always have its critics, internal as well as external, and that is as it should be in a democracy. It would be more honest, though, if purveyors of economic solutions — whether in Washington, on Wall Street or in the media — displayed a little more humility and a little less certitude."
It is worth noting that these lines were written by people who are employed at relatively well-paying jobs. People who are not employed or working at low-paying jobs with little security and few benefits might feel more need for action.
It is remarkable that the relatively well-paid Post editorial writers failed to notice the specifics of the division in views at the Fed. There are 5 Federal Reserve district bank presidents who are voting members of the open market committee. For practical purposes, these bank presidents are appointed by the banks within the district. These 5 bank presidents voted 3 to 2 against the statement committing the Fed to maintaining a near zero interest rate for the next two years.
By contrast, the 5 governors, all of whom are appointed by the President (3 appointed by President Obama, 1 appointed by President Bush and 1 [Chairman Bernanke] appointed by both) and approved by Congress voted unanimously in favor of this statement. This remarkable gap between the views of people appointed by democratically elected officials and the views of people selected by the financial industry should have jumped out at anyone reviewing the minutes and the vote.
The financial industry tends to be very concerned about inflation, since this erodes the value of its assets. They are less concerned about unemployment, since top executives in the industry can do very well even in a time of high unemployment. Profits for the financial industry hit a record as a share of corporate profits in 2010. On the other hand, Fed governors who are appointed through the political process are likely to be concerned about unemployment, since this jobs are the primary concern for most people.
This break suggests that it is not just confusion that caused the divisions within the Fed, it was fundamental differences in interests. The Post editorial writers should have been able to see this.
The Post reported on a speech that General David Petraeus gave at the ceremony marking his retirement from the military. It noted that he warned against excessive cuts in the military. The piece notes that cuts in the range of $400 billion to $1 trillion over the next decade have been suggested by President Obama and members of Congress.
It would have been helpful to put these numbers in context for readers. The current projections show a baseline where the government will spend just under $8 trillion on the military over the next decade. This is approximately 4 percent of GDP and 17.0 percent of the total budget. (This does not count many military related expenditures like veterans benefits.)
If the larger $1 trillion sum was deducted from projected spending, the country would still be spending roughly 3.5 percent of GDP on the military. By contrast, it was spending just 3.0 percent in 2000. At the time, spending was projected to fall relative to the size of the economy. This means that even with the larger cuts mentioned in the article the country would still be spending far more on the military than was envisioned before the September 11th attacks.
In an article on plans by the Spanish government to pass a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget, the Post told readers that:
"annual deficits spiked during the recession."
This statement implies that the country was already running deficits before the recession. In fact, Spain had budget surpluses in the three years prior to the downturn.
Spain's problems have nothing to do with excessive government spending or budget deficits, they stem from the collapse of a huge housing bubble that the European Central Bank (ECB) was too incompetent to notice and/or take steps to rein in. The same ECB officials responsible for this disaster are now dictating terms to the countries that face deficit problems as a result of the collapse of speculative bubbles across Europe and the rest of the world.
The Post ran an article on efforts to reach a settlement between 50 states suing banks over their mortgage issuance and foreclosure practices. The piece is about dissension among the plaintiffs, most notably New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who is insisting on a stronger settlement that will address a wide range of abuses by the banks.
The piece is told primarily from the standpoint of those pushing for a quick settlement. Without comment it presents the clearly inaccurate assertion from Mr. Madigan in reference to Schneiderman's efforts to pursue a broader range of issues that:
"We don't want to stop them from doing their investigation, and even if we wanted to, we couldn't, ... All states are sovereign."
This is completely untrue. If there is a settlement, to which New York State is a party, that includes a list of abuses that the banks practiced in prior years, then New York State would be prohibited from taking further action on these issues. It is inconceivable that Mr. Madigan does not know this, so he was deliberately misrepresenting issues in his comment to the Post. The Post's reporters and editors should understand this basic fact as well.
[Addendum: Mr. Madigan notified me that his comment to the Post was in the context of saying that New York state could not be forced to be a party to a settlement that it felt was inappropriate. In this sense, it is true that Iowa's attorney general and the other attorney generals could not prevent NY from taking action on its own. He also said that the attorney generals have focused only on issues related to the servicing mortgages and not other potential legal problems stemming from issuance and securitization of mortgages.]

Thread: Tiberius and Augustus?
June 14th, 2013 01:02 PM #1
Tiberius and Augustus?
My husband has degrees in Latin and Classics (although his career is in something else entirely) so he's all over ancient Roman names.
We are TTC #2 at the moment and if our next baby is a boy he is plumping for Augustus or Tiberius in the middle spot. Currently we love Pascoe as a first. I think I prefer August, Augusten/Augustin or Augustine but DH is pretty set on Augustus or nothing. I *almost* like it, but I need to get past the Augustus Gloop association. I do like Tiberius but I'm not sure about Pascoe Tiberius together.

Oooo... I love both of these names! I'd be thrilled to see Tiberius used. It's one of my GP names that I think really spices up the middle name space. Augustus is also great, but feels much more mainstream and a bit less spectacular to me. I also love Tiber as a nn... Pascoe goes better with Tiberius than Augustus, imho. What do you think about Pascal? Pascal Augustus is pretty spectacular.

There's a tv series where I am from which has an unsavoury female character Pascale - I don't watch the series but its popularity has ruined the name Pascal unfortunately. DH has also now suggested Aurelius, which I also like. I guess he likes names that end in -us!

Great bed. Balcony.
Great bed
had a frig
coffee maker
no mocrowave
Lobby smelled like a tobacco farm. Noisy. Slow front desk service, almost rude.
Will not stay again!
A jug of milk, ordered for my three young children was 22 dollars.
Price was,great for a safe and clean room.
Had to pay $17 for parking when there are plenty of parking in near by malls. Room was no frills but clean and comfortable
Bathroom floor was not clean
Was clean, nice continental breakfast, comfortable beds.
The location was kinda sketchy for the price. You were a good hour at least from anything important.
I like the room, plenty of space. Dinner, bowling alley and bar all in one.
The room had not properly been clean. There was a dirty Q tip on the bathroom floor, a knife beside the bed, there were carpet stain, empty 2 liter in frig, the curtains had obvious what appeared to be grease stains. The coffee maker was dirty.
Staff was friendly, breakfast included was nice, room was cleaned very well. Nice hot tub. Everyone was helpful. It's nice that the hotel has gone smoke free.
Small room for the price. No exhaust fan in the bathroom, hence when you take a shower, the steam builds up. We were on an end room and there was a light right outside of our room (kept the room with more light than I liked all night long). We had children running and very noisy outside of our room into the evening.
The staff was professional and courteous. The price matched our expectations.
It felt like a hotel on the decline. It felt like its peak was in 1992, and has since been in need of a large renovation.
Wonderful breakfast, close to freeway and shopping, friendly staff
Bathroom needed updating
quiet well staffed great price for location room very clean
limited parking
Kind staff, and a bed to sleep in
No utensils, cups of coffee in the room, and I didn't want to go back down and ask after checking in at 3am
The hotel was in a great location. There was shops & eating establishments within walking distances. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was also free parking. The rooms were very nice and clean.
There was no free breakfast. So no matter what you ordered for breakfast the price was $11.95 no matter how much or how little you ate. I am a small eater so it was not worth the $11.95 for me.
Beautiful hotel with awesome service and great amenities. Just as long as you have a King bed, the queen beds are hard as rocks.
The beds were the most uncomfortable beds i have ever slept on. Extemely hard, my whole bosy was sore the next morning. You would sleep better if you slept on the floor.
The room was comfortable and adequate. It was pretty inexpensive going through an online source. Having said all the negative comments it is tons better than most hotel rooms I have been in.
They did not give free wi fi. I tried to use my computer with a wire in the business room and it did not work. The lobby was so noisy that it was impossible to use the computer there even though in the lobby the wi-fi was "free". The parking was like a block away and you had to pay. They were short on amenities. I felt like they were nickel and diming me. The nice view they gave me was rather short on the nice. ,They did not give free wi fi. The parking was like a block away and you had to pay. They were short on amenities. I felt like they were nickel and diming me. The nice view they gave me was rather short on the nice.
Location and price. Starbucks in the lobby.
The hotel overall felt old, tired and way overdue for a complete renovation.
Hospitality was great. Front desk team very good and so helpful.
The noise level with the young college students residing. Felt like we were in a college dorm one night
very clean, room was amazing. Hotel Employee made check in very simple.
Service. Clem rooms. Decor. Beds. Breakfast. Kitchen
Quiet-didn't hear other people or the freeway.
Heated pool and lounge chairs
Vaulted ceiling on second floor
Good breakfast including waffles, juices, cereal, fruit, and pastries
Very nice staff
Clean room with comfortable linens
The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. It is near restaurants and shopping.
More outside lighting is needed for the buildings in back.
Clean room. Good value
Older building. Cramped parking lot.
Parking was free.
The carpets were old. The bathroom was tiny and starting to fall apart. The breakfast area looked dirty. Considering the money I paid - $----, including tax - this hotel was a big disappointment. I will never stay here again.
Right on airport. Jets start taking off at 5am
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Dr. Daniel Moloney receives NIH Bridges to the Baccalaureate Award
Daniel Moloney, Ph.D. (Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology) has been awarded a 5 year, $1.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. He and Jennie Williams, Ph.D. (Departments of Medicine and Preventive Medicine) will co-direct the Bridges to the Baccalaureate program called BioPREP (Biology Partnership in Research and Education Program) at Stony Brook University whose goal is to educate, train and attract academically strong community college students from underrepresented populations to careers in biomedical sciences and research.
Each year, a dozen underrepresented minority students from Nassau and Suffolk County Community Colleges will have the opportunity to conduct biomedical research at Stony Brook University for ten weeks during the summer and present their research at a national research conference. Our first cohort of students will be selected in March and will begin training on campus in May 2014.
BioPREP has been a highly successful program at Stony Brook University for the past two decades. R. David Bynum, Ph.D. (Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology) served as the Program Director from 1994 to 2006. Since its inception, more than 400 community college students have participated in the program. Eighty percent of BioPREP participants pursue and earn a bachelor degree in a science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) field, and more than one-third of participants pursue advanced graduate degrees.
A former BioPREP participant recently contacted us to say how grateful he is to have been a part of BioPREP in 2002 and how it influenced his educational and career path. Carlos Peñaloza, Ph.D. wrote regarding BioPREP, "I was also exposed to a great deal of opportunities that ultimately guided my path in academia." Dr. Peñaloza is now serving as Dean of Health Sciences and Chair of Healthcare Administration at Briarcliffe College.
For more information about BioPREP, contact Dr. Moloney, the Program Director.

New and clean hotel in the center of Manhattan. 15 min to Time Aquare , 15 minutes to Flatiron from hotel by walking. Personal is so nice, kind and helpfull. The biggest shopping center Macy's is 2 blocks after. Perfect bed and bathroom. Also the room is big according to the other hotels in Manhattan. I will prefer to stay there when I visit NY again. - Anonymous
Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was so much better than I expected, better than most hotels I have stayed at in New York for less the half the price. It was great to be so close to Chelsea, East Village, West Village and Greenwich village. I will definately stay there again on my next visit! - Anonymous
Staff was courteous, friendly and helpful. In all a very good experience. We borrowed a wheelchair from the hotel and it allowed us to travel much faster and gave my daughter a much broader experience of New York, for which I sincerely thank you. - Anonymous
The hotel staff was so accommodating. We arrived before check in and were able to leave our bags in a secured room while we ventured off. When booking, I asked that they put us on the highest floor with the best view for the deal I was offered. They put us up on the 25th floor (there are only 31) in a corner, where we had a spectacular view of the city. The ambiance was certainly a wow-factor.

US Federal Government Launches Data.gov 109
from the selective-reporting dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
what you did last summer, free of charge.
Let's get some of this data into Wolfram Alpha. Then we query things and get simple charts and graphs that will scare the living hell out of the average tax payer. "Annual cost of tank treads"... "total corporate welfare"...
I hope someone will mirror the data there the instant it appears, so when someone in power decides that an inconveniently revealed truth needs to be shoved down the memory hole, a web app will instantly highlight any redacted information.
I did it on no money and it has more data than data.gov.
Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- This week, Nickelodeon Online will debut NickMail Maker on Nick.com, a first-of-its-kind animated messaging product for kids. A hybrid of email, instant messenger and animation applications, NickMail Maker allows kids to communicate with one another imaginatively with messaging technology that enables them to make their own animation.
"We wanted to provide kids with a safe messaging system that allows them to communicate and express themselves in a creative way," said Mike Skagerlind, senior vice president and general manager, Nickelodeon Online. "NickMail Maker offers kids a sense of community by connecting with each other in the Nick.com community, and a chance to explore their creativity by becoming 'animators' in their own right."
To create these unique messages, NickMail Maker includes a kid-friendly dictionary, offering more than 7,500 words. Kids can also pick from a variety of pictures including characters from The Fairly OddParents or other favorite Nick shows, sounds, and backgrounds -- some static and some animated -- to add more visual elements to their messages. Sounds from favorite shows, musical fanfares and audio FX are also included. These components will be refreshed on a weekly basis. The animation comes alive with the option to time specific effects and motions in the messages. Several pre-made messages are also available to send. Kids can also add onto existing messages and forward them to other users.
Kids can visit Nick.com to see a demonstration of NickMail Maker, but in order to send a message they must be logged on the site. Users can communicate via their "Nick Names" and icons that they use on Nick.com. Nick Messages can only be sent to those who are registered on the Nick website. When a user logs on to the Nick.com site, they will have a message bug alerting them if a Nick Message is waiting for them.
A teaser for NickMail Maker will be located on the Nick.com homepage, near the "My Nick" feature. A help section will also be located on Nick.com so kids can easily navigate the animation process.
NickMail Maker relies entirely on the anonymous registration system that already exists on Nick.com, and it does not allow kids to unwittingly divulge personal, identifiable information. As a result, it is kid-safe and COPPA compliant.
Nickelodeon, now in its 26th year, is the number-one entertainment brand for kids. It has built a diverse, global business by putting kids first in everything it does. The company includes television programming and production in the United States and around the world, plus consumer products, online, recreation, books, magazines and feature films. Nickelodeon's U.S. television network is seen in more than 89 million households and has been the number- one-rated basic cable network for ten consecutive years.

Looking for a fun upcycled craft to make from old glass bottles? Create Love Letter Bottlesfrom Melony Bradley. This is a fun way to show someone you care! Get creative and write inspiring notes to loved ones.
- Small glass bottles
- Sizzix's Tim Holtz Hardware Findings die
- National Nonwovens brown felt
- Cord
- Aleene's Collage Pauge
- Embellishments
- I used those mini "airplane" sized wine bottles to make an embellished letter keeper that I can display. I attached a cord to the inside lid so that when the lid is removed, the letter comes out. Sort of a message in a bottle type thing.
- I used Sizzix's Tim Holtz Hardware Findings die to cut the key hole from National Nonwovens brown felt. Vintage dictionary pages provide a fitting background and embossed metal sheets from Walnut Hollow provide a small border. My favorite part of making these was searching through old book pages to come up with fitting phrases that describe the theme of each love letter. I used Aleene's Collage Pauge to apply these to painted Patera Findings.
- My second favorite part was embellishing the lids with paint, beads and pearls. The keys are a scrapbook embellishment find from K and Company. They ensure that my old love letters are safe, under lock and key.

I have faithfully listened to UTC football games on 105.1 for several years. I am a good Mocs fan. But no more radio for me.
The new station 96.1 has a range of five miles. There will be few listeners.
I am on the outs. I am disappointed.
Tom Waddell

Mr Waddell,
I assume you have a computer or a smart phone since you are on the Chattanoogan website. All one has to do is go to thebeatchattanooga.com and click on the listen button and you may listen to the Mocs anywhere in the world.
Douglas Jones
Dr. Waddell,
You can listen to the Mocs live using iHeart radio. Just search "Chattanooga 96.1 FM" on Google and the link will open. It would be a shame if you missed broadcasts in the future.
Thank you for your many years of service to thousands of UTC graduates including me.

PS from Tom Waddell
Thanks for the response, folks, but I called the 96.1 people and they do not stream UTC football games.

Amaryllis parade - for Jodi
Hey, Jodi... while we can't go to Amsterdam for Royal Colors amaryllis parade, I arrange one for you here. Enjoy.
Jodi, I got all those bulbs from our "old time" friends: the orange one from Elizabeth/Ann, the striped one from Maria, and the red one from CindeeA.
Elizabeth and Cindee sent seeds, but Maria sent me the bulblet.
I hope next season your seeds will take turns to bloom. Always remember you, as well as all our friends of GW.
Hey, you better share Xuan! lol
They are just, let me see if I can spell this without messing up..MAGNIFICENT!!?
Oh, your plants never cease to amaze me friend...Thank you so much for sharing a part of your world with us.
Now I am waiting in anticipation to see Jodi's.;-)
A wonderfully gracious group of girls, to be sure, Xuan! I love you all... you've all been incredibly generous to me, as well, over the years, sending bulbs and seeds and whatnot. We've sent some exciting care packages back and forth, that's for sure! :-)
I've not visited the Amaryllis Forum in quite a while, I know... I got a little overwhelmed, and had some personal and health issues, so I stopped posting altogether for a while. I've begun to post more lately, and will make it a point to stop in and say hello.
Maria has such a wonderful eye for the more beautiful of the Hippeastrum bulbs to hit the market. She really chooses well!
Every one of your bulbs are just gorgeous, Xuan! I had to stop myself from collecting so many... I just don't have any space left to keep them! I'm stuffed with bulbs and young stock! :-)
And Xuan has the perfect climate and the perfect scenic place to grow these beauties, too! I just love seeing her home and gardens in the mountains of Vietnam... the view is incredible, spectacular! I don't know which I like more... her bulbs or her orchids! :-)

Simon Sandlund created GEOT-4090:
Summary: Features missing when importing shapefile
Key: GEOT-4090
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4090
Project: GeoTools
Issue Type: Bug
Components: shapefile plugin
Affects Versions: 8.0-M4
Reporter: Simon Sandlund
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Attachments: geotools-shape-test.zip
We've had reports of shapefiles not being completely imported into our system (no error message but more than 50% of the features missing). Notably, QGis handles these files fine. I've attached some test data and created a small test case. It shows that the FeatureCollection returned does contain the correct number of features, except that many of them are null values! This is the output I'm getting:
Found 2272 features.
Iterated through 418 features using FeatureIterator.
Iterated through 2272 features using Array. Found 1854 nulls.
Tests run: 1, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.64 sec <<< FAILURE!
Results :
Failed tests:
testShapeIO(org.geotools.testcase.TestShapeIO): Nulls found!
We were using the FeatureIterator and didn't even notice that features we're missing until we had it reported to us.
The test case should be runnable by typing:
$ mvn test
Any idea what's going on? Like I said QGis seems to handle the data fine. The test case has some code commented out for exporting whatever geotools reads from the shapefile. Opening this export alongside the shapefile import.shp in QGis clearly illustrates the missing features.

Venezuelan opposition leader sits out dialogue
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — A meeting billed as a national dialogue for local and state officials in troubled Venezuela convened Monday without the country's most prominent opposition leader.
Gov. Henrique Capriles, the opposition candidate in the last two presidential elections, said he would not attend the meeting called by President Nicolas Maduro amid political turmoil that has engulfed the country in recent weeks.
Capriles did not say whether he would also sit out a national peace conference called by the president for Wednesday. Capriles, governor of wealthy Miranda state, told reporters that attending Monday's meeting would look like an endorsement for a government that he says has engaged in "repression" as troops and police have clashed with protesters.
"I am not going to make Nicolas Maduro look good ... That is what they want, that I go there as if the country was absolutely normal," he said.
Capriles also said he would not participate while another opposition leader, Leopoldo Lopez, remains jailed along with dozens of others who have taken part in anti-government protests.
Lopez, a former mayor of a district in the capital, is being held in a military jail outside Caracas on charges that include criminal incitement of violence for organizing a mass opposition rally Feb. 12 that was followed by clashes that resulted in three deaths and set off waves of unrest that have roiled Venezuela ever since.
His wife, Lillian Tintori, said Lopez believes the time is not right for members of the opposition to sit down with Maduro.
"Look at the statements from Nicolas Maduro, every time he speaks, he insults us, he speaks with aggression, speaks with hate," she said following a news conference to announce a march Wednesday by opposition women.
Monday's session of the Federal Government Council was a previously scheduled meeting of all Venezuela's mayors and governors to discuss social and economic problems. At a special meeting of the group in January, following the slaying of a prominent actress with her husband in a robbery, Capriles and Maduro shook hands in a rare showing of cooperation.
This time, Capriles said he felt conditions were wrong for the encounter. "The only thing Maduro wanted was a handshake and a photo so he can tell the world that everything is OK," Capriles said.
Vice President Jorge Arreaza said at the start of the meeting that Maduro intended to preside over the session to discuss his peace plan for the country.
"We know that those of us who are here have the shared interest to build a peaceful society," Arreaza told the meeting, which was attended by two of the country's three opposition governors, Henri Falcon of Lara state and Liborio Guarulla of Amazonas state.
Though violent protests have died down, Venezuela remains tense. Opposition protesters erected barricades to block traffic on major streets in Caracas and elsewhere Monday but there were no major clashes.
Maduro told a rally of motorcycle-riding supporters that the blockades had prevented sick people from getting to the hospital. "They have affected the health of thousands of people in these communities that they have cut off," he said.
