"Any wine that comes like this," the restaurateur began, tapping the screw cap that adorned a delicious, charming bottle of pinot noir, "is vinegar. I won't even cook with it." It had been a while since I'd encountered such a damning opinion of screw caps, and it irked me.
Americans often attach an unpleasant stigma to screw caps, which is rooted in outdated notions of poor quality and low fashion. In fact, screw caps are the fastest growing method of closing a wine bottle, and for good reason.
Screw caps eliminate a lot of problems inherent to cork. Supply is one. Cork trees take years to replenish their bark once they are stripped for wine cork-making, and if demand jumps, the supply of good-quality cork can be obliterated. But the real enemy in cork is a compound called 2,4,6 trichloroanisole.
The presence of this bugger in a cork imparts aromas akin to wet golden retriever, moldy newspaper, or musty ottoman to a wine, and the average human schnoz can pick it up in concentrations as low as two parts per trillion. It can be caused by any number of environmental exposure factors, from the tree itself to the box the wine comes in. It is the real reason your server lets you taste a little of the wine you ordered-not for you to decide if you like it, but to ascertain whether or not it's "corked," as the taint is called.
To assume today that all wine served in screw cap is swill is an outdated notion that will prevent one from enjoying all manner of delicious wine. The age worthiness of a screw cap is still in debate, which is why it is rarely used on wines meant to be kept, but for the 90-some-odd percent of wine that is consumed within hours of purchase, a screw cap is a perfectly acceptable, if not preferable, way of sealing a bottle. If you don't believe me, check out these three screwy wines.
Vida Organica Torrontés Mendoza, Argentina 2007 ($9, The Henry Wine Group) displays a sweetly ripe nose of pears and almonds. Sweeter than the Crios Torrontés mentioned in April's column, this wine is charming in its friendliness but still quite racy on the finish. The bonus is that it is also made from organically grown grapes.
Another wine of inescapable charm is Vincent Girardin Pinot Noir "Emotion de Terroirs" 2005 ($26, Bacchus Importers Ltd.) With an expansive nose of red flowers and ripe berries, and a lush, juicy profile, this wine is simply a great expression of pinot noir fruit. Burgundy's defining earthiness and supple tannins lift the finish and lend the wine an air of serious sophistication. I was in danger of finishing this one by myself in under an hour.
If you're in the mood for a red that's thicker and darker than pinot noir, consider a bottle of Andrew Rich Vin de Tabula Rasa 2004 ($19, The Henry Wine Group). This syrah-based, Rhône-style blend is opaque and seductive, with a rich nose of black cherries. Syrah's cherry personality dominates the palate, too, like cherry preserves but smoky at the same time. Moderately tannic, with a body bolstered by some oak, this stylish red is proof that there's more happening in Oregon than just pinot noir-and that cork snobbism needs to become a thing of the past.

A Better Way to Protect Kids Online: User Empowerment Technology
October 1, 1997
Supporting Documents
When Congress first passed the Communications Decency Act, user empowerment tools such as SurfWatch and NetNanny were in their infancy. Now, there is a robust field of options for parents who want to prevent their children from encountering inappropriate material online. Parents have more choices which have become easier to use, more effective, and more customizable so parents can set up tools reflecting their family's values. Parents can even set up many of these tools to allow different children using the same computer to have different material restricted -- so a parent with a 15 year old and an 8 year old can allow them access to different material, if the parent so chooses.

Kosovo: Was It Worth It?
Kosovo: War and Revenge
Winning Ugly: NATO's War to Save Kosovo
Virtual War: Kosovo and Beyond
The Crisis in Kosovo 1989-1999
Kosovo: Contending Voices on Balkan Interventions
The Kosovo war was the last European war of the twentieth century, and NATO's first. What we do we know about it a year later? Let's start with a quick journey down the food chain of recent history.
In the beginning were the events themselves: the meetings at which Western leaders made the decision to bomb Serbia; American pilots sliding nervously into their planes at an Italian airfield to fly the first bombing missions; Kosovar refugees trudging to the border through snow and mud. Unless we were there, we will never know what it was like to be there. And the official records are still secret.
Yet there are amazing things that people who were not there can already know: for example, what it looked like to the bombs. Eerily silent images from video cameras mounted on the noses of NATO's high-tech guided missiles show the very window or doorframe the missile is about to hit. This is quite new for historians. There were no cameras on the cannonballs at Austerlitz. I suppose it's only a matter of time before we will see on our television screens, from a yet more advanced camera, on a still more accurate missile, the staring eyes of the victim in the moment before she dies.
Then there are the first reports. With the openness of modern democracies, there seems to be little of significance that does not get into the press, one way or another, and usually sooner rather than later. However, much of the information is deliberately "spun" by policymakers and their spin-doctors, or unintentionally garbled by the journalist, or both spun and garbled. These opinion pieces are generally of minimal use for working out what happened and why. The world-historical reflections of a Nobel Prize winner prove more ephemeral than the hurried news story of a nineteen-year-old reporter.
Among the few exceptions are intellectual commentaries that themselves contain a strong element of personal reportage. Three quarters of Michael Ignatieff's Virtual War is of this kind, consisting as it does of lightly revised articles written for The New Yorker and other journals before and during the Kosovo war. Ignatieff's higher journalism is made especially vivid and accessible by concentrating on one person in each piece: Richard Holbrooke ("the ego has landed") for his diplomacy, Aleksa Djilas as The Serb, General Wesley Clark as "Virtual Commander," and Louise Arbour of the Hague tribunal for the attempt to do justice.

Lung cancer specialists pool their resources to develop a unique treatment plan for every patient, to cure when possible and care at every step of the way.
By Kathleen Yount
When Pat Hansen describes the day she and her husband, Erik, learned that Erik had advanced lung cancer, she doesn't mince words. "When the love of your life is diagnosed with a horrible case of cancer," she says, "the world as you know it changes, and it's not the same ever again."
"It was quite a shock," agrees Erik, who has never smoked. But he also says his treatment team at Duke, including medical oncologist Frank Dunphy, MD, and nurse clinician Karen Dukelow, RN, never let him and his wife feel alone in the struggle. "Between all four of us we'd come up with a plan to move forward. We really worked together as a team."
Patients with lung cancers like Erik's face steep odds -- most advanced cancers prove fatal within a year of diagnosis. So Duke assembles a crew of experienced specialists to rally for each lung-cancer patient. The players run the gamut, from medical and radiation oncologists to surgeons to pathologists, but they are all focused on bringing hope to those battling what remains the greatest cancer killer in the United States.
One of the reasons lung cancer is so deadly is that it often lurks undetected at its earliest and most treatable stages -- by the time a patient develops symptoms, the cancer has usually spread beyond the lung. But as diagnostic and imaging technologies improve, the odds may begin to tip in patients' favor.
Duke is a world leader in PET scanning for lung cancer -- a highly sensitive technique that allows physicians to distinguish between benign and malignant tumors and better determine whether the cancer has spread in the body.
Imaging technology also helps radiation oncologists, such as Nicole Larrier, MD, treat these tough cases. They and other Duke researchers are working to better understand how normal tissue reacts to the radiation, so they can optimize delivery of therapy.
Before any sort of radiation therapy or chemotherapy, most patients will undergo surgery to remove their lung tumors. Duke is home to four thoracic surgeons who focus exclusively on lung and chest surgery -- enabling them to develop special expertise in effective but technically challenging procedures.
In fact, Duke surgeons -- including Thomas D'Amico, MD, and David Harpole Jr., MD -- are national leaders in minimally invasive surgical procedures such as thoracoscopic lobectomy. In this procedure, surgeons remove the cancerous lobe of the lung through an incision roughly two inches long.
Traditional lung surgery involves a long incision around the chest and spreading the patient's ribs. This new procedure does neither, leaving patients in less postoperative pain and with a shorter overall recovery time. D'Amico says that shorter recovery times also allow patients to start chemotherapy earlier, which can be critical in some instances.
When chemotherapy is warranted, oncologists prepare an arsenal of both the best drugs to destroy cancer cells and strategies to minimize the harsh side effects. Duke's thoracic medical oncologists care exclusively for lung cancer patients -- in fact, they helped develop the guidelines now used nationally by oncologists for medical management of the complications from lung cancer and its treatment.
Jeffrey Crawford, MD, chief of medical oncology at Duke, says that more patients are receiving chemotherapy at earlier stages. "As we're developing less toxic drugs, more patients can receive them," he says, noting that research is also helping physicians determine which drugs their patients will respond to best.
A focal point of any treatment plan is not only killing cancer cells, but also maintaining the patient's quality of life. Duke care teams give special attention to pain, appetite and taste alterations, and support of physical mobility and psychological well-being.

A packed house showed up at the Black River Coliseum in Poplar Bluff on Wednesday to learn about preparing for emergencies.
The featured speaker was Lane Roberts, Chief of Police in Joplin, Missouri.
Roberts helped deal with the devastation and aftermath of that EF-5 tornado that struck Joplin in May 2011.
"We would not have survived had the world not come to our aid," said Chief Lane Roberts. "And so, our ability to go out and share what worked, and what didn't work with others, is the best we can do pay the world back. Because, their simply is no adequate accounting."
The Joplin tornado killed 158-people and injured more than 1,000.
It was the worst tornado in America since 1947.

Merle W. Unger Jr., serving a life sentence for the 1975 murder of Hagerstown Police Officer Donald Kline, is scheduled for a new trial in June, Washington County Deputy State's Attorney Joseph Michael said this week.
The trial will begin the week of June 10 and will be held in Easton in Talbot County, Michael said on Monday.
In May 2012, the Maryland Court of Appeals affirmed a 2007 judgment by Washington County Circuit Court Judge Donald E. Beachley vacating Unger's 1976 conviction, a trial that was also held in Talbot County.
The verdict was vacated because of jury instructions given in the original trial in which a judge told the jury that his instructions were "advisory" and that they were not bound by them.
"The Circuit Court concluded that, because of the jury instructions at Unger's trial, he had been denied due process of law guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment," the Appeals Court ruling stated.
The Court of Appeals later ruled in a separate case that a judge's instructions to the jury on the law are binding, not advisory.
Michael said two days have been set aside in April for motions hearings in the case.
Unger, now in his early 60s, was charged with first-degree murder in the Dec. 13, 1975, of Kline, who was off-duty when he came upon a robbery at Kim's Korner on South Mulberry Street. Kline chased Unger into an alley and shots were fired.
Kline died of his wounds and Unger was found wounded and hiding in the basement of a nearby residence.
Unger was also found guilty of armed robbery, use of a handgun in commission of a robbery, and use of a handgun in commission of a murder in the 1976 trial.
Unger has a long record of escapes, including from jails and prisons in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Florida.
While serving his life sentence, he escaped from a Maryland prison in 1981 and was later apprehended in Florida and convicted of a series of burglaries there.
While serving his Florida sentence, Unger escaped in November 1990 and was caught days later near Culpeper, Va.
Nearly four decades have passed since Kline was killed and some investigators and witnesses have died, retired or moved away. Michael would not comment when asked whether he planned to have any surviving witnesses testify in June.
"That is our intent," Michael said when asked if transcripts from the 1976 trial would be introduced by the state at trial.

10 Ways Teens Are Hiding Their Online Behavior from Parents
June 26, 2012
© Veer
Remember the slogan from those old public service announcements, "It's 10 PM, do you know where your children are?" If that campaign ever gets reinvigorated, a more fitting slogan for the sign of the times should be, "It's 10 PM, do you know what your children are doing online?"
If a recent study of online teen behavior is any indication, the answer to that question is a resounding NO. According to security company McAfee, most parents don't actually know the real online behavior of their teens and are essentially having the wool pulled over their eyes by their highly tech-savvy teens. The company's 2012 Teen Internet Behavior study aggregated data from interviews with more than 2,000 parents and kids (ages 13-17) and found that teens are not only engaging in risky behavior, but are also skillfully hiding it from mom and dad.
With the sheer amount of time kids are spending online, it's a wonder they're able to get anything else done. According to the survey, teens in this age group are spending an average of FIVE hours a day online, but parents only think that they're on the Internet for three. What's even more shocking is that 10 percent of kids in the poll reported spending more than 10 hours a day online. Yes, ten!
Nearly 90 percent of teens polled use Facebook and post photos, divulge personal information, "stalk" friends and comment on posts, with half admitting to posting "risky" comments online. And Facebook isn't the only thing they're doing online. Teens are also pirating music (30 percent), looking up answers to homework (48 percent) and even hacking email accounts (8 percent).
Kids are engaging in these suspicious and surreptitious behaviors online, yet many parents still remain obscured from what their kids are doing. Almost three quarters of parents polled "trust" that their teens are not accessing inappropriate content online, but 43 percent of kids admitted to looking at simulated violence and a third to online pornography.
Parents are trying to stay ahead of their kids' behaviors by using security measures, implementing parental controls and even using GPS technology to keep track of their kids, but 23 percent of parents are "overwhelmed" by technology and are not monitoring their kids at all. Not sure which is worse, that, or the 22 percent of parents who think their kids can't get in trouble online (clearly in denial).
Despite parents' best efforts, more than 70 percent of teens have found methods to bypass this monitoring. McAfee lists the following 10 methods teens are using to keep their online behavior hidden from their parents:
-- Clearing the browser history (53%)
-- Close/minimize browser when parent walked in (46%)
-- Hide or delete IMs or videos (34%)
-- Lie or omit details about online activities (23%)
-- Use a computer your parents don't check (23%)
-- Use an internet-enabled mobile device (21%)
-- Use privacy settings to make certain content viewable only by friends (20%)
-- Use private browsing modes (20%)
-- Create private email address unknown to parents (15%)
-- Create duplicate/fake social network profiles (9%)
So, what's a parent to do? If your kids aren't online yet, be thankful. But also, start opening up a dialogue about online safety, just as do with safety in the physical world. If your kids are online, communicate with them about what kinds of things they're doing online and more importantly, familiarize yourself with the digital world that's at their fingertips.

Norwegian black metal outfit Ragnarok (not to be confused with the '70s Swedish progressive rockers) was born from the ashes of an earlier band named Thoth in 1994, when its drummer, Jontho (real name: John Thomas Bratland) and bassist Jerv teamed up with guitarist Rym (Øyvind Trindborg) and vocalist Thyme (aka General Hymer). Enthralled with all things satanic and evil, Ragnarok debuted with 1995's Nattferd (meaning "A Journey Through the Night") and later brought in Dimmu Borgir's Shagrath as a guest keyboardist on 1997's Arising Realm. Still going strong, Ragnarok's subsequent odes to the dark lord have included 2000's Diabolical Age, 2002's In Nomine Satanas (introducing new vocalist U. Høst) and 2004's Blackdoor Miracle. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

How can I tell whether or not detergent in a sample can be removed with Prosorb® Sample Preparation Cartridges?
Product FAQ
If the detergent identity is known, look up its CMC (critical micellar concentration); a table of these is listed in the Biological Detergents section of the Sigma-Aldrich® catalog. If you are above the CMC, the detergent forms micelles that cannot be removed by the filtering membrane, so the sample must be diluted prior to application to the Prosorb® Sample Preparation Cartridges.
Answer Id: 1269
How can peptide synthesis amino acid cartridges leak and spill solvents during their activation and transfer to the RV?
Product FAQ
If these cartridges are being reused, the NMP can cause them to swell, and they no longer fit or slide well in the guideway. If the guideway or the exterior of the needles have became dirty, this can also lead to misalignment. And if you forgot to remove the metal cap, the needle cannot penetrate the septum - this may cause a spill OR stop the run.
Answer Id: 1316
When should DMSO, formamide, glycerol and other cosolvents be used in PCR?
Product FAQ
Cosolvents may be used when there is a failure of amplification, either because the template contains stable hairpin-loops or the region of amplification is GC-rich. Keep in mind that all of these cosolvents have the effect of lowering enzyme activity, which will decrease amplification yield. For more information see P Landre et al (1995). The use of co-solvents to enhance amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. In: PCR Strategies, edited by MA Innis, DH Gelfand, JJ Sninsky. Academic Press, San Diego, CA, pp. 3-16.
Additionally, when amplifying very long PCR fragments (greater than 5 kb) the use of cosolvents is often recommended to help compensate for the increased melting temperature of these fragments.

I need to buy media to prepare agar plates, which I will be using to grow colonies after transformation (molecular cloning). Which product would you recommend?
Product FAQ
We offer two options:
The first is our formulation of LB agar (catalog number 22700-025), which has LB Media and agar mixed together. This comes in a 500g and 2.5 kg size. All you have to do is measure out, add water, and autoclave.
The second option is even easier. Our imMedia™ comes premeasured in pouches. We have three types: imMedia™ Amp Agar, Kan Agar and Zeo Agar for ampicillin, kanamycin and Zeocin™-containing plates. All you have to do is empty the pouch, add water, heat and pour plates. No autoclaving is needed! Each pouch contains sufficient reagents for 8-10 plates.
imMedia™ Amp Agar, 20 pouches, Q601-20
imMedia™ Kan Agar, 20 pouches, Q611-20
imMedia™ Zeo Agar, 20 pouches, Q621-20
For added convenience, you should also check out our LB medium imMedia™ products: (Each pouch makes 200 mL of media)
imMedia™ Amp Liquid, 20 pouches, Q600-20
imMedia™ Kan Liquid, 20 pouches, Q610-20
imMedia™ Zeo Liquid, 20 pouches, Q620-20
Answer Id: 3039
Is S.O.C. medium absolutely required when recovering competent bacterial cells during transformation?
Product FAQ
Many media can be used to grow transformed cells, including standard LB, SOB or TB broths. However, S.O.C. is the optimal choice for recovery of the cells before plating. The nutrient-rich formula with added glucose is often important for obtaining maximum transformation efficiencies.
Answer Id: 3100
Can I re-use my competent cells once the tube has been thawed?
Product FAQ
Yes, competent cells can be thawed and re-frozen at least once, but be aware that each freeze-thaw cycle can result in up to a 10-fold reduction in transformation efficiency.
To re-freeze unused competent cells, we recommend the following protocol: Pre-cool some new empty vials on ice for 5 min. Thaw the cells, and then aliquot a single-use volume of cells (usually 20-100 ul as recommended in the product manual) into the new tube. Freeze the cells immediately in a dry ice-ethanol bath. (Be sure that ethanol does not leak inside the tube - keep the level of ethanol well below the cap.) Transfer the frozen cells immediately to a -80C freezer, and do not thaw them again until ready for use.
Answer Id: 3103
Can you ligate PCR products into a TA vector at room temperature instead of 14°C?
Product FAQ
Comparing a 4 hour ligation at 14°C vs. a 2 hour ligation at room temp, approximately two times more colonies will be observed with the 4 hour ligation at 14°C. For room temperature ligations, the TOPO® TA Cloning® kits will give much higher yields with a reaction time of only 5 minutes.
Answer Id: 3321
What is the formulation of the SOC medium that is provided with competent cells?
Product FAQ
SOC (Super Optimal Catabolite) Medium Preparation (for 1 Liter):
1) To a 2 Liter flask with stir bar add the following:
- Bacto Tryptone 20 g
- Yeast Extract 5 g
- Sodium Chloride (NaCl) 0.58 g
- Potassium Chloride (KCl) 0.186 g
2) Add sterile water to a final volume of 1 Liter.
3) Mix well on magnetic stir plate for 5-10 minutes or until all of the ingredients are well mixed and completely dissolved.
4) Autoclave 30 minutes.
5) Allow to cool to room temperature.
6) Add 10 ml of sterile 2M Magnesium Solution (1M Magnesium sulfate, 1M Magnesium chloride)and mix well.
7) Add 10 ml of sterile 2M Glucose and mix well. (Final Glucose concentration is 20 mM).
Answer Id: 3343
How can I remove genomic DNA contamination from my sample prior to performing RT-PCR?
Product FAQ
If amplification products are generated in the control tube/well that contains no reverse transcriptase (ie., the no-RT control), it may be necessary to eliminate residual genomic DNA from the RNA sample. Use the following protocol to remove genomic DNA from the total RNA preparation.
Add the following to an autoclaved 0.5 mL microcentrifuge tube on ice:
(1) Total RNA (ideally, less than or equal to 1 μg, see Note 1)
(2) 1.0 μL of 10X DNase buffer (200 mM Tris 8.3, 500 mM KCl, 20 mM MgCl2)
(3) 0.1 U-3.0 U of DNase I (RNase-free, Cat. No. 18047-019) or 1.0 U Amplification Grade Dnase I (Cat. No. 18068-015, see Note 2)
(4) Bring volume up to 10 μL with DEPC-treated water.
(5) Incubate at room temperature for 15 min. See Note 3.
(6) Terminate the reaction by adding 1 μL 25 mM EDTA and heat 10 min at 65 degrees C. See Note 4.
(7) Place on ice for 1 minute.
(8) Collect by brief centrifugation. This mixture can be used directly for reverse transcription.
***NOTE 1: To work with higher quantities of RNA, scale up the entire reaction linearly. Do not exceed 2 μg RNA in the 10 μL reaction. More RNA will increase the viscocity of the solution and prevent the DNAse I from diffusing and finding the DNA.
***NOTE 2: Amplification Grade DNAse I has been extensively purified to remove trace ribonuclease activities commonly associated with other "RNAse-free" enzyme preparations and does not require the addition of placental RNAse inhibitor.
***NOTE 3: It is important not to exceed the 15 minute incubation time or the room temperature incubation. Higher temperatures and longer times could lead to Mg++-dependent hydrolysis of the RNA.
***NOTE 4: This procedure requires careful pipetting of all solutions so that the concentration of divalent metal cation (Mg++) is controlled.
Because the DNAse I must be heated to 65 degrees C to inactivate the enzyme, the concentration of free divalent metal ions must be low enough (less than 1 mM) after addition of the EDTA to prevent chemical hydrolysis of the RNA. See references below.
After the addition of EDTA, there is an approximately 1:1 molar ratio of Mg++ : EDTA. EDTA chelates Mg++ molecules on a 1:1 molar basis. Therefore, this RNA can be directly used in a reverse transcription reaction. First-strand reverse transcription buffers typically result in a final concentration of 2.5 mM Mg++. If the reverse transcription buffer does not contain MgCl2, add it to the reaction at a final concentration of 2.5 mM. This results in a net final concentration of approximately 2.25 to 2.5 mM MgCl2.

The author of the first paper expresses the opinion that the mechanism of the non-specific hydrolysis by cations which proceeds through 2',3' cyclic phosphate formation is similar to that of specific hydrolysis such as RNA splicing.

How do you recommend that I prepare my DNA for successful electroporation of E. coli?
Product FAQ
For best results, DNA used in electroporation must have a very low ionic strength and a high resistance. A high-salt DNA sample may be purified by either ethanol precipitation or dialysis.
The following suggested protocols are for ligation reactions of 20ul. The volumes may be adjusted to suit the amount being prepared.
Purifying DNA by Precipitation: Add 5 to 10 ug of tRNA to a 20ul ligation reaction. Adjust the solution to 2.5 M in ammonium acetate using a 7.5 M ammonium acetate stock solution. Mix well. Add two volumes of 100 % ethanol. Centrifuge at 12,000 x g for 15 min at 4C. Remove the supernatant with a micropipet. Wash the pellet with 60ul of 70% ethanol. Centrifuge at 12,000 x g for 15 min at room temperature. Remove the supernatant with a micropipet. Air dry the pellet. Resuspend the DNA in 0.5X TE buffer [5 mM Tris-HCl, 0.5 mM EDTA (pH 7.5)] to a concentration of 10 ng/ul of DNA. Use 1 ul per transformation of 20 ul of cell suspension.
Purifying DNA by Microdialysis: Float a Millipore filter, type VS 0.025 um, on a pool of 0.5X TE buffer (or 10% glycerol) in a small plastic container. Place 20ul of the DNA solution as a drop on top of the filter. Incubate at room temperature for several hours. Withdraw the DNA drop from the filter and place it in a polypropylene microcentrifuge tube. Use 1ul of this DNA for each electrotransformation reaction.

text: 7 Smart Tips for Painting Your House A fresh paint job on the outside makes your house look nicer and last longer. Follow these quick tips to get a nice, even look. (And if you're planning to paint your interior walls, check out our tips here.) By Joe Truini Email Comments 0 Share Back 3 of 5 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next BEHR Process Corporation View Thumbnails Prep the Surface For the new paint to adhere to the surface, you must clean the house's exterior of all dirt, grime, mildew, and chalky residue. A power sprayer provides the easiest way to accomplish this, but hand scrubbing with a stiff-bristle brush is just as effective and often doesn't take much longer because it requires little preparation and setup time. Use a hammer and a nail set to tap all nailheads below the surface, then fill the holes with exterior-grade putty. Once the putty is fully cured, sand it flush. If you're applying new caulking around windows, doors, and trim, be sure to use a caulk that's paintable. You can paint directly over the old painted surface as long as it's in good condition. Be sure to scrape and sand any spots where the old paint has blistered or flaked off. And you must prime any bare wood before you paint it.

Quote: Also, even though it has traditionally been held on Memorial day weekend, this is also a bad idea a) For commuting to the event for either overnight or for single day (because of the extreme traffic throughout this particular weekend - get worse & worse every year), b) Sometimes inclement weather because it is a little too early in the season for the elevation, and c) Half of the Memorial Day weekends are no good for deep sky viewing because the moon is up. I don't know why they don't move the event to a non-holiday weekend in the Summer - perhaps it will go the way of the dinosaur sometime soon.
Quote:Boy are you mistaken!I've been there 24 of the last 25 years, all 24 on Memorial Day weekend. Moving the date to new moon weekend was tried in 2010 and attendance went from 1200 down to 400! The next year it was back on the normal weekend and attendance was back to 1000. RTMC isn't an observing party.
Quote:You complain about inclement weather. Well I've been snowed on 3 time in 24 years and had very high winds last year. Not a bad average.
Quote:Traffic? People drive in from Az, Nv, Ut, Or, every year so I guess the traffic isn't too bad.

Quote:I sincerely hope that RTMC survives far into the future, but as with any enterprise, it must learn to change with the times if doing the same old thing is no longer working so well, and perhaps try to do a better job of promoting the event. If attendance continues to decline, perhaps an non-holiday weekend early summer event after school is out at a different location could save RTMC before it vanishes

Quote: Here is a link to an attendees report from last year that paints a little bit different picture than what you described: http://theketelsens.blogspot.com/2011/05/rtmc.html The report states estimated attendance under 800, telescope field deserted, as were most of the vendor spots along the borders of the lanes.
Quote:Greg we should try to get together at RTMC. I'd love to meet you. Ask anyone with a Kern Astronomical t-shirt, they'll know where I am.
Quote:Hi Darren,That sounds great. Are you planning to be up there all weekend? I will probably make it up on Saturday or Sunday early afternoon (depending on family logistics). I may even spend the night (Saturday or Sunday) after all, and bring my 10 year old daughter (who really likes telescopes & astronomy), depending on our families plans for the whole weekend.Greg

Quote:A conference held on a weekend away from Memorial Day that is not at Camp Oakes might be a nice star party, but it would no longer be RTMC. Good luck finding a dark site with facilities for a thousand attendees.Camp Oakes is a pleasant place to spend a long weekend, but it is not a dark site. This fact was recognized by most of the people who didn't bother to show up when the organizers tried to turn it into a star party. If they moved the conference into summer, they would be competing with other star parties held at dark sites during the prime observing season.Attendance recovered from 400 to greater than 800 when they moved the dates back to Memorial Day weekend. It would certainly fall again if they moved it away from Memorial Day, whether it's in May or during Summer. A big reason for the rapid decline in vendor presence is the emergence of PATS as a trade show. Vendors would rather show off their wares in a climate-controlled room than a dusty field. In addition to the presentations and meeting old friends, the vendor field was one of the attractions of RTMC. I don't have an answer for how to get the vendors to return.Tom

Quote:RTMC's problem, to the current observer, is that it isn't quite dark enough to be an observing event, and not well-enough attended by vendors to be an equipment exhibition, and not quite educational enough to be a lecture exhibition. Not quite just doesn't make it.
Quote:Now this is at the same time that star parties such as Julian, or NightFall are going up. And NEAF is doing fine as an equipment exhibition because it is well-attended by vendors.

UCLA released a statement Wednesday explaining that athletic scholarships are not based on finances and do not rely on taxpayers' money. The University of California school system is currently facing financial problems. "Unlike need-based scholarships, athletic scholarships are awarded to students strictly on the basis of their athletic and academic ability -- not their financial need," the statement read. "Athletic scholarships, such as those awarded to football or basketball players, do not rely on state funds. Instead, these scholarships are entirely funded through UCLA Athletics ticket sales, corporate partnerships, media contracts and private donations from supporters. "Each year, UCLA awards the equivalent of approximately 285 full athletic scholarships to outstanding student athletes. The scholarships are used by the UCLA Department of Intercollegiate Athletics to pay students' tuition and fees, as well as room and board. In this respect, UCLA is no different from the overwhelming majority of Division I institutions."

Poor Protection: LEGO Master Chief Armor
Sticks & stones will STILL break your bones in LEGO armor I'm just sayin'.
This is a very impressive suit of Master Chief armor made entirely out of LEGO pieces (except for the previously made helmet's visor, DERDER) by LEGOmaniac Ben Caulkins (not to be confused with Macaulay Culkin, the face of that knee-slapping 'Home Alone' franchise). No word if it can actually stop a shot from a plasma rifle, but I doubt it. From the look of it, I doubt it could even stop a jump-kick, but I'm stretching now in case you want to give it a go.
Hit the jump for a bunch more shots, including one of the whole dismantled suit laid out on a single bed with a Spongebob Squarepants pillow on the floor in cause you were curious what that might look like. I know I was!

Kitchen Confidence
How to Sharpen a Knife
Inspired by conversations on the FOOD52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Today, Amanda learns how to sharpen her knives.
Is there anything better than chopping, slicing, and dicing with a good sharp knife? Not really.
We have to admit that we're guilty of letting knives go dull in our test kitchen. All of that changed when our talented developer, Amanda Li, showed up to a photo shoot with her sharpening stone. Not only does she keep the site up and running, she recently graduated from culinary school and she keeps every knife in the test kitchen nice and sharp. Today, she teaches Amanda Hesser how to do it herself.
How do you sharpen your knives? We want to know all of your knife-maintenance tips!
Today's video was shot by Alex Lisowski, and edited by Kyle Orosz.

Since I'm an "scary sharp" fanatic, I'll add my humble 2 cents...
1) If you're interested in keeping your knives sharp without too much work, on a foolproof way, get a chefs choice electric sharpener (There is one model that sharpens western and Japanese blades)
2)If you want to get it up a few notches, get the edgepro sharpening equipment, you'll get almost professional results without the big learning curve involved in freehand sharpening, and you'll get "scary sharp" edges without scratching or damaging your knives.
3) My favorite... Freehand sharpening, get a set of at least 3 different stones (Coarse, medium and fine grit), a good strop, a nice ceramic honing rod and get ready to learn.
I'm a knife junkie and I enjoy big time to have a razor sharp (And I mean... really razor sharp) blade that cuts easy and clean thru veggies and meats. There is nothing like the sensation and the results of a nice sharp edge.
If you want to get serius in the subject , there are a couple of great suppliers of knives and sharpening gear one is chefknivestogo and the other is japaneseknivesimports both sellers are top notch and absolutely professionals . Best regards.

The AccuSharp knife sharpener on Amazon is the best $9 I've spent. Totally idiot proof. The downside is it only works on Western-style knives.
over 1 year ago sygyzy
Bobby has some great advice. Before home cooks try their hand at sharpening, I would advise spending some time to read up on the topic and educate themselves on it before potentially messing up their expensive knives. If in doubt, get your knife sharpened by a professional and by that I mean someone who specializes in different types of knives and steels, not your neighborhood butcher. Also, please don't run your knives through electric machines that just mangle up your edge. Once your knife is sharpened, the best thing you can do for it is to use a honing steel to re-align the edge before or after each use. A steel does not sharpen an edge, it just brings things back in-line.

Great video--I love this series!

Kristy is an expert at making things pretty and a former Associate Editor of Food52.
That knife was a gift from her brother-in-law. He brought it back from a trip he took to Japan -- lucky her!
She's also got knives by henckles and global in the kitchen. Also lots of gorgeous knives she's picked up over the years that don't have brand names on them.

Great video. I think its important to add that the method shown should only be recommended for Japanese knives with a 50/50 bevel. Some japanese knives only have a one sided bevel or a 80/20 which changes how many strokes per side you sharpen.
Also non Japanese knifes like wusthof or henkels have softer steel, therefore the penny trick gets too shallow of an angle (approx. a 12.5 degree angle). By all means use a stone for non japanese knives, just stand up the knife for a 90 degreee, half it once for 45 degrees and one more time for about 22.5 which is closer to where you want to be to get lasting sharpness.

Amanda is a developer at Food52.
bobby - that's a very good point about the one-sided bevel. thanks for bringing that up!
i've had relative success using the stone on my western knives but i find it takes a little longer to sharpen or re-make the edge (if it's been completely dulled) since western blades are so thick. will try using the 90-45-22.5 sharpening method, thanks!

You can also try adding a few coarser stones to your kit, such as a 500 or 700.

Follow us:
NATIONWIDE -- The President and COO of Lockheed Martin has resigned following an ethics investigation. Christopher Kubasik, 51, was also in line to become the company CEO in January.
However, in a release on the company website, Lockheed says Kubasik resigned after an investigation confirmed he has a close personal relationship with a subordinate employee. They said his actions violated the company's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, but did not affect the company's operational or financial performance.
Effective immediately, Lockheed's Board of Directors elected Marillyn Hewson, 58, as the new president and COO. She will also take on the role of CEO beginning January 1. Hewson has been with the company since 1983.
