Purple still reigns
Published on Wed, Jul 22, 2009 by

Regardless of economic times, visitors and locals filled the purple fields and busy streets for Sequim's Lavender Festival.
Scott Nagel, executive director for the
Lavender Festival, said the crowd size seemed to be similar to last year's total.
"It's probably around 25,000 to 30,000 people so, when you consider the economy, then this is nothing short of amazing," he said.
Vickie Maples, executive director of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce, said nearly 1,250 people, including some from as far away as Australia and China, signed the guest register at the Visitor Information Center.
One of the biggest draws for people is cutting and
making their own lavender bundles at one of the seven U-pick farms.
Abundant lavender products such as bath salts, lotion, ice cream, margaritas and lemonade guaranteed people left with something purple in their bags or stomachs.
"Why do people come back each year?" Nagel asked rhetorically.
"Because the festival is wonderful, but also the people are wonderful," Nagel said.
"We are a main place for people to take a break from the big city life."
The street fair on Fir Street had about 150 vendors and close to 200 booths including food and nonprofit groups at the new Fun on the Field addition.
Nagel said Fun on the Field went well, but people have to adjust to find the new things.
"We need to be out onto the field because the street can get too crowded," he said.
More covered seating will be added to the area in 2010.
Heavy winds on Saturday blew over some umbrellas and tore off some canopy tops, but Nagel said the wind was welcomed.
"The wind helped us," he said.
"If it gets too hot, then it might deter people. The weather was great."
Dust blew into some vendors' tents from the nearby baseball diamond, but sprinklers watered it down.
One theft occurred Friday as vendors were closing for the night.
A bag with cash and a Visa machine were stolen. Nagel said this was the first time he has heard of such a crime at the festival. It is under investigation.
Attendance on Sunday also surprised Nagel. He said Sunday normally is the slowest day, but it turned out to be larger than expected.
"It felt like the biggest Sunday we ever had," he said.
"People on the peninsula are bringing their families on Sundays now."
Nagel and his staff of a dozen workers coordinated more than 250 volunteers to run the festival smoothly at the fair and on farms.
"We are very pleased with the results," said Steve Ragsdale, president of the board for the Sequim Lavender Growers Association.
Ragsdale, co-owner of Sunshine Herb & Lavender Farm, said attendance was up at his farm, too.
Nagel said lavender season doesn't end with the festival and that most farms are open through the summer or year-round.
"It's not like tulips where once you cut them, then you are done," Nagel said.
Maps for local lavender farms are available at the Visitor Information Center, 1192 E. Washington St.,
Sequim, or by going online to www.lavendergrowers.org or www.lavenderfestival.com.
In the beginning
Sequim Lavender Festival and local political dignitaries welcomed television personality Ciscoe Morris (of "Gardening with Ciscoe" television/radio fame) to open the festivities.
Morris not only helped lead a ceremonial tossing of lavender buds but also hosted a gardening talk that lasted the better part of an hour, dispensing advice about how to grow tomatoes and more.
Morris raved about Sungold tomatoes.
"I used to have straight sideburns before I bit into one," Morris said. "My hair's been curly ever since."
Morris described himself as a plant addict and said that he wants one of each kind in existence.
"I'm three away now," he joked.
Morris co-hosts "Gardening with Ciscoe" with Meeghan Black on KING 5 TV.
And at the end
Tom Heintz smiled at the applause.
Heintz, chef and co-owner of Sauer Kraut German Deli and Bakery with his wife Laurel, brother Dan, and the deli crew were introduced by Nagel after the Lavender Celebration Dinner on Sunday night at John Wayne Marina.
The six-course meal featured culinary lavender from Port Williams Lavender Farm and local foods.
Diner Gail Kershner Riggs, who lives in Tucson, Ariz., and Sequim, said the salmon was perfect, the table decorations were delightful, the food was just the right amount and the presentation was beautiful.
Sauer Kraut Bakery provided handmade focaccia for the appetizers and lavender sugar cookies for dessert. Johnston Farm grew the mixed greens and strawberries. Nash's Organic Produce grew the chard. The cheeses came from Mount Townsend Creamery. Graysmarsh Farm and Heintz Berry Farm provided raspberries and blackberries.
Carolyn Grant and Rita Gillespie, friends from Kalama, added that they appreciated having the printed menu to keep as a souvenir and said the lavender sachet gift was wonderful.
They called the dinner delicious and worth the price.
Barbara and Allan Tyson, of Temecula, Calif., were house-hunting before they came to the dinner. They said the entire festival was very well done.
Nagel told the 50 or so diners that this year's festival was "way beyond expectations" in attendance.

That was a big question that immediate emancipationists had to deal with. Many of them established schools for freedmen, but that still didn't reach the slaves in bondage. It's one thing to want slavery to end. It's a whole other thing to actually deal with the end of slavery. It's really (and probably inevitably) a train wreck. We didn't even mention Northern workers yet. Many of them were quite afraid that the slaves might move north and take their jobs. Lots of problems to solve in the whole abolition debate. We also didn't get into the Constitutional debate in the North, and between North and South.

What happened is that some of us don't agree with any of those options. We think it was unintentional (in that he wasn't trying to hurt anyone) but he should have still drawn a flag. You and Angie started claiming that we are wrong to think that way because 90% of people in the above poll answered #1. I pointed out that saying someone is wrong based on that poll (a poll we will never know the answer to) is stupid. I went on to point out that clip would never prove intent in a court of law. Only Brady knows if it was intended to hurt Reed. Your repose was that you don't see the problem with it. I then tried to go in more detail and you started going in circles. That brings us up to date. Care to go on about why you don't see a problem with it. I didn't claim anyone was wrong. I explained why Cy4P seems like a joke when he hammers on and on about how Brady had zero intention of kicking and/or hurting another player with that slide.
Intentional. Period. But I actually don't care if it was or not - still should have drawn a flag and/or fine. There are plenty of unintentional personal fouls called and fined. Most with the WB as the "victim" and the defender getting flagged/fined. This one should have been no different.
Stop getting off topic guys. The real question is, did more people want slavery, or not?
I just have to say I'm really proud of this board for responding to Cy4's absolutely preposterous analogy by having such a civil discussion about a complex and profound issue in our nation's history. I think it's really what sets CF apart from your average messageboard.

I read the first and last page of this thread, the last of which I have no idea now it relates in any form to the original question. Here is my take, in a completely, unbiased way since I've probably watched 6 quarters of the NFL this year and highlights on ESPN sometimes and don't really have a favorite team, just teams I do and don't like (but am glad KO made the SB.) I don't think it was intentional to hurt but I do think he was in control of his leg. He did not raise it 45 degrees, the contact made it so. Brady had a better chance of being hurt by looking at how his leg jolted and he is lucky they have special QB protection or he may not come back from the injury that could have been. It still should have been flagged, maybe fined since they penalize the defense for unintentional but dangerous plays.

Another reason Brady is a ******. The cheap shot doesn't surprise me, but I'm shocked he didn't get up whining for a flag on Reed.

Kind of an interesting thread. After looking at the options, I said intentional with a flag. After looking at it again, I don't know how you cannot say that it wasn't intentional because Brady re-extends his leg after initial contact. Also there is no reason to bring a leg up because defenders are suppose to avoid contact. I think Reed would have avoided contact in this case, but if there was a penalty the clock would have stopped and the Pats may have been able to get another play off. I honestly think there would have been little damage done to Reed since his leg is in the air and his body can still bend. Is Brady even wearing cleats? If he is they look like they are pretty small. I think Brady is more likely to injure himself in this case and there is no reason to initiate more contact because if Brady would have hit Reed in way which he would that have landed on Brady, would that be a penalty?
first thread i read since last thursday... this defines why i love CF

Intent is in the eye of the beholder. When Suh made a similar leg move into the mommy-daddy region of Schaub, was it intentional? Somewhere a poster named CyLions is defending him to the hilt.
I think we can all agree that Tom Brady caused slavery and whether or not it was intentional it should have been a 15 yard penalty.

Found November 21, 2012 on
Fox Sports West:
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The NCAA was "malicious" in its investigation of a former Southern California assistant football coach who was linked in a report to a scandal surrounding Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Reggie Bush, a judge said Wednesday.
The NCAA's report on ethical breaches by Todd McNair was flawed, and the former coach has shown a probability he can win his defamation claims, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Frederick Shaller said.
The NCAA had sought to have the case dismissed, but Shaller disagreed. He said after reviewing sealed documents in the McNair inquiry, which was tied to a gift scandal involving Heisman Trophy-winner Reggie Bush, he was convinced that the actions of NCAA investigators were "over the top."
His 10-page ruling states emails between an investigative committee member, an NCAA worker and a person who works in the agency's appeals division "tend to show ill will or hatred" toward McNair.
"We are disappointed with the decision and plan to appeal," the NCAA said in a statement.
McNair sued the NCAA in June 2011, claiming the association's investigation was one-sided and his future earnings were hurt by its report on the scandal, which led to sanctions against USC. The NCAA determined McNair lied about knowing about some of the gifts lavished on Bush's family by two aspiring sports marketers who hoped to land the future NFL player as a client.
The NCAA imposed a two-year bowl ban and scholarship restrictions on USC last year as a result of the Bush case. McNair was prohibited from contacting recruits and his USC contract was not renewed.
Shaller said he would unseal the entire inquiry into McNair, but would hold off on release of the records for a month to allow an appeal. "I think the public has a right to know," he said.
McNair's attorney Bruce Broillet declined comment, citing the sealing order in the case. He said during the hearing that the records showed the agency knew it was relying on false statements about McNair's conduct and wanted to "nail" the coach, who also played in the NFL.
"They wrote evidence the way they wanted it to be -- that's malice," Broillet said.
Laura Wytsma, an attorney for the NCAA rejected that contention in court, saying the evidence in the case show the committee that investigated McNair was trying to get its report right.
"They were struggling to get the right result," she said, adding that several members of the investigative committee were prominent lawyers and legal scholars.
She also argued that records in the case should not be unsealed, saying it would hurt future investigations. The NCAA does not have subpoena power, she said.

Kidz Bop Ultimate Hits (2012)
While the Kidz Bop series has had enough volumes to qualify for an Ultimate Hits collection, this one is a bit deceptive: instead of going all the way back to its beginnings in 2002, the set features highlights from the volumes sung by the late-2000s/early-2010s Kidz Bop Kids -- Charisma, Hanna, Elijah, Eva, and Steffan -- and thus features only songs from those years. Regardless, it still boasts versions of chart-topping songs such as "Tik Tok," "Dynamite," "California Gurls," "Hey Soul Sister," and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" done in classic Kidz Bop fashion. Considering that this collection is aimed at kids familiar with these songs and not necessarily the pop hits from a decade before, Ultimate Hits' exclusions might be more savvy than incomplete. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi Hide synopsis

Jurie Roux, CEO of SARU, contacted Cheeky Watson, the chairman of the Kings board, on Tuesday to advise him of the inquiry and also to caution him against any potential breaches.
The matter was discussed by an emergency teleconference of the Executive Council (Exco) of SARU on Tuesday. The Exco, in accordance with the SARU Disciplinary and Judicial Regulations, decided to appoint a judicial sub-committee to investigate the allegation.
In the event of a breach being proved there is a wide range of sanctions available, starting from a caution to a maximum fine of R1m or a recommendation to the General Council to suspend or expel the offending organisation.

Single-case research is a powerful method for examining change in outcome variables such as behaviour, performance and psychological constructs, and for assessing the efficacy of interventions. It has innumerable uses within the context of sport and exercise science, such as in the development of more effective performance techniques for athletes and sportspeople and in helping us to better understand exercise behaviours in clinical populations. However, the fundamental principles and techniques of single-case research have not always been clearly understood by students and researchers working in these fields.
Single-Case Research Methods in Sport and Exercise Psychology is the first book to fully explain single-case research in the context of sport and exercise. Starting with first principles, the book offers a comprehensive introduction to the single-case research process, from study design to data analysis and presentation. Including case studies and examples from across sport and exercise psychology, the book provides practical guidance for students and researchers and demonstrates the advantages and common pitfalls of single-case research for anybody working in applied or behavioural science in a sport or exercise setting.

Director Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation March 10, 2006
TestimonyUnited States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
Need for Reform in the Medical Device (Implantable Defibrillator) Industry
March 10, 2006
TestimonyBarry J. Maron, MDDirector, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy CenterMinneapolis Heart Institute Minneapolis, MN Chairman Specter, Senator Leahy and distinguished members of the Judiciary Committee. Thank you for the opportunity to share with you today my experiences and views on the recent medical device controversy (largely involving implantable defibrillators). My name is Dr. Barry Maron and I am a Minneapolis cardiologist and Director of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center at the Minneapolis Heart Institute. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (also known by the acronym, HCM) is a common form of genetic heart disease and the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young people, including competitive athletes. The Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center at the Minneapolis Heart Institute is one of the few in the U.S. dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of this important heart condition. Since year 2000, I and my colleagues have promoted the implantable defibrillator as a preventive therapy for sudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy---and with good reason---for we have been able to demonstrate in peer reviewed data analyses that the implanted defibrillator is frequently life-saving...by virtue of its power to recognize and automatically terminate potentially lethal disturbances of heart rhythm in patients with this and other profound cardiac diseases.In this role, I and my colleague, Dr. Robert Hauser, came to diagnose and treat a young, 21-year-old, college student, Joshua Oukrop, in 1999. Mr. Oukrop was judged to have a severe form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and to be at high risk for sudden, unexpected and unpredictable...death. Therefore, we recommended to Joshua and his father that a defibrillator be implanted as a prophylactic measure on October 4, 2001...and they readily agreed. The defibrillator model is known as Guidant Prizm 2DR 1861. Over the next 3 years, Joshua returned for 12 device maintenance checks every 3 months, as routinely advised, without any evidence of problems. Indeed, on March 14, 2005, 3 ½ years after receiving his defibrillator, Joshua Oukrop died suddenly and unexpectedly while on vacation in Utah. Detailed post-mortem analysis of the Oukrop defibrillator by representatives of Guidant found a short-circuiting defect that had caused the device to become electrically inoperative and to fail. In other words, when the defibrillator tried to issue a life-saving shock, the electrical energy short-circuited and was dissipated... and did not enter Joshua's heart as it should have. Due to this defect, he was unprotected...and died. Shortly thereafter, in a meeting with 4 Guidant executives, I learned that this precise defect and problem had been known by the company for over 3 years...but only to Guidant...and not to any physicians or to any patients. During that meeting it was obvious from the Guidant executives that they believed it was correct and even prudent to conceal all information related to such defibrillator defects. I was asked directly for my opinion about that particular corporate strategy: I said...I think this is going to be the biggest mistake you could ever make. They said they didn't agree. Some would say that subsequent events have made my comment prophetic. It then fell upon me to inform Joshua's father (who also has a defibrillator for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) of developments. I have...as obviously any cardiologist has...often been the bearer of bad news. But I cannot forget Mr. Oukrop's reaction when told that Guidant had for several years known that his son's defibrillator was potentially defective and could not save him. Although he was controlled...it was as if his last breath had left his body. He said: "I told Joshua that the defibrillator was his shot...that it would allow him to survive and live his life... and you are saying that they knew all along."In fact, at that time Guidant had already documented 25 other similar short-circuited defibrillators...and had already made manufacturing adjustments on two occasions in April and then again in November of 2002 to new defibrillators of the same model to correct the defects that were known and had been defined in detail. Still...Guidant had not informed physicians, patients or the government. Furthermore, and perhaps most disturbing, it has been documented that Guidant continued to sell defibrillators they knew to be defective. That is defibrillators that were manufactured before the changes in April and November of 2002.Therefore, Joshua Oukrop's death was not due to an unforeseen "random" defibrillator failure, as suggested by Guidant to physicians...but in fact was a systematic, repetitive and to some extent predictable defect...and no one else knew. In effect, Guidant had by themselves taken over the medical management of thousands of high-risk defibrillator patients.Probably only because the facts of this unfortunate scenario were documented in a series of New York Times articles by Barry Meier beginning in May of 2005, have these problems in this sector of the defibrillator industry---in what has come to be known as the Guidant Affair---now become evident to all. In fact, these circumstances have led to the largest recall/advisory of defibrillators and pacemakers in the 25 year history of this important industry, involving almost 200,000 devices, including combination defibrillator and pacemaker models implanted for coronary heart disease and heart failure---which have also been associated with several deaths. It is important to focus on what this scenario and debate is really about. The Guidant Affair is about patients (and their physicians)...and the overwhelming importance of informed consent and full disclosure to patients through their physicians. Patients have a right to know...any information that could potentially impact their risks for injury or death. It is simply not ethical to withhold such information. Patients must have the opportunity to interact with and make such medically important decisions in conjunction with advice from their fully informed physician.It is also important to establish what the Guidant Affair is not. It is not a statistical issue. It is not about percentages and likely probabilities. Patients are not numbers...they are individuals with the reasonable expectation that industry---in this case defibrillator manufacturers---will communicate openly and accurately with their physician...and in their best interest. Most observers agree that did not happen here. As one of our moms with 3 sons having both hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and defibrillators told a Guidant executive, "Shame on you. It just was not your call to make." I agree...and I believe that vast majority of the cardiovascular community does as well. It is about trust. It is time for change and greater oversight, transparency and communication between industry and the physician community to restore the trust of patients in sophisticated and powerful medical devices such as the implantable defibrillator. To make it a crime to knowingly sell defective defibrillators to be implanted into high risk patients would I believe have the desired effect on the willingness of companies to make full disclosure. However, such a bill would have to be drawn narrowly so as to not have a potentially disastrous, chilling effect on law-abiding companies whose products may have occasional random defects. Thank you for the opportunity to tell this important story to the Committee.

Not Surprised: Bacon Flavored Rolling Papers
Seeing how every flavor of rolling paper already seems to exist (I've heard -- I don't know anything about these things in case my mom is reading), it was only a matter of time bong rips before somebody put two and two together and then got the munchies and forgot what they were doing. Then, sometime much later, somebody else created bacon flavored rolling papers. Made by Juicy Jay's, the papers promise a sizzlin' bacon taste and aroma. Interesting. Unfortunately, I only smoke REAL bacon (I swear, mom) and banana peels. I AM THE BBQ WIZ-ARD!

Chocolate Mint FusionUser reviewsAverage customer review: | Write a review Chocolate Mint Fusion (Sunday, June 09, 2013) I think it has a very fun taste. I would drink it when I am craving something sweet. It really only needs the chocolate swirls and peppermint to sweeten it. Delish (Monday, February 11, 2013) I am a new tea drinker and I received this as a sample with my travel mug. I immediately ordered a 3oz bag and I love it. Love (Wednesday, February 06, 2013) I am a new tea drinker and ordered this as a sample with my travel mug. Loved it. Ordering more now! Chocolate and Mint (Monday, January 21, 2013) I received this as a sample and had to order a full size the next day. Chocolate and Mint: What's not to love? This tea has real chocolate curls in it. It smells heavenly and tastes just as amazing. Just enough caffeine for a little boost. very nice (Thursday, May 03, 2012) this is a very nice tea and i enjoy it, but i do miss the chocolate covered strawberry, which is/was one of my favorites ! ! ! Very nice, very very minty (Monday, March 19, 2012) I think I like the Orange Vanilla Chocolate Puerh better. This has that kind of overpowering effect mint can have. I don't pick up much chocolate. Still, very nice, very minty. Very easy to drink! Chocolate Mint Fusion Tea (Tuesday, December 20, 2011) I tried this tea last night - a very cold night. I absolutely loved it. Good enough to be dessert! Rish and earthy and sweet but not overly sweet. |

Is it really possible to accurately measure someone's personality? Why or why not?
Topic: Psychology
Is it really possible to accurately measure someone's personality? Why or why not?
3 Answers | add yours
I think it is not only possible but really essential to measure our own personality because there is nothing more important in life than understanding who we are. As far as measuring other people's personalities, that is probably possible but would require the other person's full cooperation, and that would be hard to get in most cases because people are reluctant to reveal themselves even to close friends. Psychologists have been working hard for much of the past hundred years to develop tests for measuring personalities. They still have a long way to go; nevertheless, there is a lot of valuable information readily available for self-assessment. Some of it can be accessed with ease on the Internet by searching such subjects as "self-testing." Many services offer free tests. The best tests probably are related to the famous Briggs-Meyers Personality test or inventory. Carl Jung in his great work Personality Types identified two basic personality "attitudes," introversion and extraversion. He coined those terms, and they have gotten worldwide acceptance. He further identified four basic conscious "functions," split into two dichotomies--sensing/intuition, and thinking/feeling. One other dichotomy judging/perceiving determines the personality type a person is most susceptible to. Combined, they result in sixteen different personality type combinations (ex. INTJ, which stands for Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging).
I recommend that you refer to C. G. Jung in eNotes and that you look up some personality tests on the Internet. I think we should start with understanding ourselves before we try to understand other people. Maybe understanding ourselves automatically helps us to understand others.

No, it is not possible to accurately measure one's personality. From when a child is born to their old age, their personalities can change. Due to this case, it is impossible to accurately measure one's personality. They can go from stubborn, to after hearing a lecture, suddenly be very leinent. People can change over night, and it would be impossible to measure it.
Posted by lover990 on June 8, 2012 at 1:48 AM (Answer #2)
my answer is not, as personality is a qualitative fact. however there are researches and theories that attempts to quanify each trait or personalities according to some factors but how accurate it is, well maybe just close but never been.

Great drawing. Kinda sad that people actually live like this. You captured the darkness and gloom of the shanty town.
The dull, almost grim, color scheme you chose works really well with your concept of a "shanty town."
O.O stunning. great colors that really set a kind of stillness and... almost hopelesness. amazing!
OuO, this looks pretty cool. great jobs it looks very natural looking, like a screenshot X)

Posted January 1, 2011
This is a great Jig and well worth the price!Very easy to use and quick to setup.I modified mine with a hole for the router lift adjustment as Russ Jones has done see his review. Added a homemade rubber boot attached to the router fence and placed in front of the jig to aid with dust collection. I also noticed that the Freud Spiral router bits make a better fit than the Onsrud bits listed along with the jig slightly different tolerance.Make sure the stock is completely flat to avoid binding.

Posted December 27, 2010
I'm really not sure why other folks can rate it so highly, but experience with it is that it has some serious shortcomings.Lets list the good parts first. The metal guide bars for the three finger sizes 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 are nicely made aluminum extrusions with blue anodizing. The lock knobs are nice too. Thats about it.Not so good. The whole thing is made out of 1/2" melamine coated MDF. It locks down to your miter slot in the router table top. Hopefully your slot is within the range it gives you. Mine was. It uses a plastic sled with a narrow stepped runner that runs in a corresponding machined groove in the MDF. Yes, it runs in direct contact with the MDF. How long do you think that will last? Truthfully, the accuracy of the guide really depends on the notches already cut riding on the aluminum extrusion. But the plastic sled riding in the MDF is very loose and as others have mentioned, you need to make sure you hold it down in the back. Several times when using it, it sits up on one of the knobs in the back and can mess up your concentration. One other gripe, also mentioned by other folks is that the jig can move some while you are tightening it down with the knobs. I had to reset it several times to make sure it was accurate. Make sure you have some sort of reference gauge to reset the distance from the notch guide to the bit. It is critical.The thing should be made out of baltic birch or phenolic. Think Benchdog quality. I don't see this thing hanging around in an average shop for 10 years, the MDF would be long gone. And the crummy plastic sled is so poor, its not worth mentioning.

Posted December 23, 2010
Have been wanting a box joint jig for a while to build some drawer boxes. Once I had this set up, I was able to make a box within 10 minutes and the joints were perfect. Just a few comments, similar to others on the site:- Practice, not only to get the spacing right, but to also make sure you cut the joints in the right alignment. It might take a time or two to get the tops/bottoms/fronts/backs all in line. Just follow the quick guide and it's not too hard.- Buy the upspiral bits. I started with a straight-cutting bit and it destroyed my practice pieces. The Upspiral bit cuts like butter.- Keep the track waxed and clear of debris with a vac or compressor.- Make sure your router and table can hold the jig with 3/4 track guides and a 1/2 inch collet if you go with the larger bits.This is a great product. I will have a dozen drawers done in no time.

Posted December 21, 2010
Very simple to use. Make sure to do the following:1. Clamp the jig set up securely to your router table.2. Spray glue a sheet of sandpaper to the face of the fence.3. Spray Armorall on the plastic slides for a smooth ride across the jig.4. Paste wax on the guide bar works great.

Posted November 30, 2010
Used to build a practice box out of 1/4" oak before building a music box. This was the first time I have ever done any type of joinery for a small joint. Someone mentioned sticking with small stock to I used Johnson's paste wax on all surfaces, worked great, no sticking. Used a 1/4" drill shank to set up, also from info in these reviews. It worked. The finished joints were very tight, square, and no tear out. I am very satisfied and looking forward to building a music box out of bloodwood.

3 storm chasers killed Friday in Oklahoma twister
EL RENO, OK (ABC) - Storm chaser and meteorologist Tim Samaras, his storm chaser partner Carl Young, and his son Paul Samaras, were among the 13 people killed in the latest round of tornadoes and severe weather to hit Oklahoma Friday night, according to family members.
They were killed near El Reno in an EF3 tornado with winds up to 165 mph that ripped through the Oklahoma City area during rush hour.
Samaras, 55, his son Paul, 24, and Young, 45, were all killed while trying to document and research the storm. Tim Samaras was found inside his car with his seat belt still on. Paul and Young were pulled from a car by a tornado. One of them was found dead a half mile away.
"They put themselves in harm's way so that they can educate the public about the destructive power of these storms," Canadian County Undersheriff Chris West told the Associated Press.
Tim Samaras, 55, dedicated the last three decades to learning about tornadoes while he successfully combined his passion for storm chasing and an engineering career.
"I'm not sure exactly why I chase storms. Perhaps it's to witness the incredible beauty of what Mother Nature can create" Samaras said in a Youtube video posted on his website.
Samaras' brother, Jim Samaras posted a statement on Tim Samaras' Facebook book early Sunday morning:
"It truly is sad that we lost my great brother Tim and his great son, Paul. Our hearts also go out to the Carl Young family as well as they are feeling the same feelings we are today," the statement said. "They all unfortunately passed away but doing what they LOVED. Chasing Tornado's. I look at it that he is in the 'big tornado in the sky...'"
ABC News meteorologist Ginger Zee knew Tim Samaras well and said his death was a reminder of the power of the storm.
"Out of all storm chasers he doesn't take chances, he's the one that puts the probes in the path of the tornado to learn more about them. He is not, you know, a young gun running around making bad decisions person, so I am so sad and shocked, it is such a loss for the community," Zee said of Samaras.
Watch the "Nightline" 2012 interview with Tim Samaras on the mystery of how lightning forms.
Zee said Samaras left behind a legacy of work.
"He was a pioneer, he was getting things and teaching us things that no one else could do. This is a guy who was not just a meteorologist, he's an engineer, he's one of the smartest men I have ever met in my life," she said.
Samaras holds the world record for "measuring the lowest barometric pressure drop (100 millibars) inside of a tornado that destroyed the town of Manchester South Dakota, on June 24, 2003," according to his website.
Samaras also built a special probe equipped with cameras that "are able to look inside of a tornado safely."
The probe allowed Samaras and Young to document the tornado from different angles and speeds when they deployed the device in the path of a twister on June 11, 2004 near Storm Lake Iowa.
Terry Garcia, Executive Vice President, National Geographic Society said Samaras was "a courageous and brilliant scientist who fearlessly pursued tornadoes and lightning in the field in an effort to better understand these phenomena."
"The National Geographic Society made 18 grants to Tim for research over the years for field work like he was doing in Oklahoma at the time of his death, and he was one of our 2005 Emerging Explorers. Tim's research included creation of a special probe he would place in the path of a twister to measure data from inside the tornado; his pioneering work on lightning was featured in the August 2012 issue of National Geographic magazine," Garcia said in a statement. "Though we sometimes take it for granted, Tim's death is a stark reminder of the risks encountered regularly by the men and women who work for us. This is an enormous loss for his family, his wide circle of friends and colleagues and National Geographic."
Samaras also founded TWISTEX (Tactical Weather Instrumented Sampling in Tornadoes EXperiment) research group and appeared on the Discovery Channel show "Storm Chasers."
"This is a devastating loss to the meteorological, research, and storm chasing communities. I ask that you keep the families in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time," Tony Laubach, meteorologist and TWISTEX collaborator posted on the TWISTEX Facebook page . "There is some comfort in knowing these men passed on doing what they loved... Your support means the world. Thank you."
Young was chasing tornadoes with Samaras every spring since 2003 and together they tracked more than 125 tornadoes, according to his bio on the "Storm Chasers" website.
The pair met while Young attended a meteorlogical conference. Young started out working on Hollywood film sets until he was inspired to study the science of tornado dynamics.
He graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno with a masters degree in atmospheric science.
We're deeply saddened by the loss of @tim_samaras, his son Paul, and their colleague Carl Young. Our thoughts & prayers go to their families," The Discovery Channel tweetedthis afternoon.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
St. Louis man killed in OKC tornado, family needs help for funeral
A St. Louis man is among the dead after an EF5 tornado hit Moore, Oklahoma last week. The twister killed 24 people and among them, St. Louis native Leslie Johnson.
Johnson's ex-wife and three children live in south St. Louis. His family says Johnson had gone to Oklahoma two months ago to search for work.
Johnson had taken refuge in a closet when the storm hit and was killed when the building he was in was flattened.
A funeral home in Oklahoma City donated the cremation services, but his family needs help paying for a funeral. Donations can be made at the following website.

High Hopes — And Hurdles — For Hydrogen Cars
By 2020, he expects electric plug-in cars to account for 10 percent of car sales and 2 percent to 2.5 percent of all cars on the road.
Hydrogen-fueled vehicles, meanwhile, would probably only get to a half-percent of car sales, but demand could get a boost starting in 2020, particularly with significant technological breakthroughs, he says.
Automakers and industry observers say the road has room for both technologies, but that hydrogen-powered cars offer some key advantages, including speedy refueling times, as well as the ability to go longer distances and power SUV-sized vehicles.
John DeCicco, a faculty fellow at the University of Michigan's Energy Institute, isn't optimistic that sales for either type of vehicle will take off.
"I don't think there's a way to short circuit this other than legislation that sets a legal limit on carbon emissions," he says. "There has to be a consequence. Then automakers and oil companies will figure it out."

Are you able to embedd your fonts in Flash Pro for iOS like you can for every other type of flash project? When I make a textfield a specific font such as myriad pro, embedd it in my library, and compile to my ipod... it shows up as some serif font that is definitely not myriad pro. The text field is a tlf textfield that I added underlining to.
I can't seem to find any information regarding this. Please help.
It should work - provided you have properly embedded the font. This can be tricky, as on the desktop it may look correct when you test it (because it uses the syste font with the same name). It should work though - I'm not sure of the performance of TLF though - I usually use classic text.
Look into the following guidelines too:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/iphone/WS789ea67d3e73a8b2-5b45bb17124b 3295cc8-7ffd.html
In the Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings dialog, in the Library path tab, click on textLayout.swc. Below the box that textLayout.swc is listed in, there is a drop down:
Runtime Shared Library Settings
Default linkage: [Runtime shared library (RSL)]
Change that to [Merged into Code]
You'll need to do that for any swcs that are set to use RSL by default, if you want them to work on iOS.

In 2010 alone, China's global direct foreign investment reached USD$68 billion, five times the outbound investment total for 2005. Should Australia's share increase to a mere 3 percent in the coming decade, the volume increase will be massive.
China's changing focusDriven by the State's 'Go-Global' strategy, Chinese enterprises have focused on expanding direct investment abroad to secure raw materials and energy. With the release of the 12th Five-Year Plan in 2011, an economic re-balancing has commenced. A focus on sustainable, renewable and broad investments will grow, as the focus of growth shifts towards increasing its domestic market and boosting home grown consumption, and away from an over-reliance on the exports industry.
Business strategies are being reshaped and the acquisition of assets to make China's firms more competitive at home and abroad is a key motivating factor.
Australia's responseThe expected increase of Chinese capital seeking investment opportunities requires a strategic response from Australian businesses in order to realise and maximise the benefits. We believe that having a clear China strategy is essential for the future growth of all Australian businesses.
Joint ventures, partnerships and other innovative arrangements with Chinese partners should be considered. We see immediate opportunities to leverage Chinese interest in acquiring assets and expertise in energy and resources, infrastructure, agriculture and financial services. However a broad range of Australian industries have been recipients of Chinese investment money in recent years, including manufacturing, transport, construction, business services, and wholesale and retailing.
How we can helpOur Australia China Business Practice assists Chinese businesses to invest and grow in the Australia market, and assists Australian companies looking to enter China.
We assist our clients to develop and successfully execute transactions to capitalise on the business and investment opportunities arising from China's growth.
"The Five-Year Plan could have implications for the way you manage your people, the locations you operate in and the decisions you make in terms of investment in areas such as R&D, logistics, or procurement."

Global Chair, Global China Practice

I used this recipe and loved the fritters. However, the ingredients list lemon juice and it is not mentioned in the directions at all.

Cockroaches Offer Inspiration for Running Robots
12/29/09 Oregon State University researchers are working to apply basic biological and mechanical principles that allow certain animals to run effortlessly over rough terrain to running robots. By By David Stauth The sight of a cockroach scurrying for cover may be nauseating, but the insect is also a biological and engineering marvel, and is providing researchers at Oregon State University with what they call "bioinspiration" in a quest to build the world's first legged robot that is capable of running effortlessly over rough terrain. If the engineers succeed, they may owe their success to what's being learned from these insects and…

Ariel says she would rename the Monet above "Magical Bridge."
"A Girl with a Watering Can" definitely needs a better name. There's something odd about it. The girl looks way overdressed for garden work. And she seems unsure of what she's doing. I might call it "Confused in the Garden." Or "At a Garden Crossroads," because it looks like there are two paths diverging there – maybe she isn't sure which way to go?

The Indiana Department of Transportation is getting the word out about two consecutive nights of periodic 20-30 minute closures of State Road 49, between State Road 2 and County Road 500, so crews can set beams for the new State Road 49 bridge. According to INDOT, on Thursday, September 6th beginning at 7 p.m. all southbound lanes of SR-49 will be affected by intermittent closures until 6 a.m. (Friday morning). On Friday September 7th starting at 7 p.m. all northbound lanes of SR-49 will be affected by the closures until 6 a.m. (Saturday morning). INDOT says the closures are necessary to ensure driver safety as the massive beams are put into place. Traffic will be allowed to flow freely between the 20-30 minute closures.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — How low can bruised shares of RadioShack go? Even lower, investors apparently are betting.
As of Friday, shares of RadioShack /quotes/zigman/260227/delayed/quotes/nls/rsh RSH +1.40% had tumbled 48% since May 31. Over that period, the number of RadioShack shares sold short increased to 43% of the company's 99 million common shares outstanding, up from 36%, FactSet data show.
• Euro zone's judgment day is here
• Expectations ramp up for QE3 — but when?
• Burberry warning not a sell sign for luxury
In a short sale, an investor bets a stock will go down, not up, in price.
RadioShack and fellow electronics retailer Best Buy /quotes/zigman/219712/delayed/quotes/nls/bby BBY -1.03% are trying to reinvent themselves to stave off fierce competition from Amazon.com /quotes/zigman/63011/delayed/quotes/nls/amzn AMZN -0.46% and other online alternatives to its physical stores.

In the case of J.C. Penney /quotes/zigman/237947/delayed/quotes/nls/jcp JCP +2.97% , short bets have gone up to 26% of the department-store chain's 218 million shares outstanding. That compares with 19% as of May 31.
The retailer has stumbled in its attempt to implement a turnaround strategy since CEO Ron Johnson joined the retailer from Apple nine months ago. Full story: Betting on J.C. Penney's Ron Johnson.
Bearish investors have gun maker Sturm Ruger /quotes/zigman/242215/delayed/quotes/nls/rgr RGR -2.21% in their sights. Short sales account for 39% of the company's 19 million shares outstanding, up from 26% May 31.
Sturm Ruger has been overwhelmed with demand for its rifles and handguns. The company was forced to halt new orders from mid-March to May 29 because it couldn't keep pace as demand reached 1.1 million units.
Short interest in Green Mountain Coffee Roasters /quotes/zigman/30382045/delayed/quotes/nls/gmcr GMCR +2.15% is at a three-year high heading into September, when two patents the company holds on its K-Cup coffee packs are set to expire.
Some investors contend that will hurt the company's profit margins. They believe it will open the door for other companies to sell single-serve coffee packs for Green Mountain's Keurig brewer.
Green Mountain shares sold short amount to 26% of the company's 155 million shares outstanding. That's up from 15% May 31.

We speak with Jess Walter, whose newest novel is Beautiful Ruins, which Kirkus Reviews described as "A brilliant, madcap meditation on fate ... Walter's prose is a joy—funny, brash, witty and rich with ironic twists. He's taken all of the tricks of the postmodern novel and scoured out the cynicism, making for a novel that's life-affirming but never saccharine." Jess Walter is also the author of The Financial Lives of the Poets, The Zero (a 2006 National Book Award finalist), and Citizen Vince (winner of the 2005 Edgar Award Allan Poe Award for best novel).
We also chat with Brian Freeman, whose newest novel is called Spilled Blood, set in southern Minnesota. Brian Freeman is a bestselling author of psychological suspense novels featuring detectives Jonathan Stride and Serena Dial. His books have been sold in 46 countries and 19 languages and have appeared as Main Selections in the Literary Guild and the Book of the Month Club. His settings in the bleak, frozen landscape of Duluth, Minnesota, and his deeply complex characters, have drawn comparisons to Swedish noir.

I completely understand why Stephen King chose to only publish his newest book in print, but it still makes me sad that I won't be able to read it. I have arthritis in my hands, which makes holding open a book taxing on my fingers and wrists. I also know people who rely on e-readers because their vision is poor. Then there's the issue of having a ton of books, and nowhere to put them. If people stopped illegally downloading books, and publishers weren't so greedy with digital royalties then this would be a non issue. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?
I will add that I've bought two of Stephen Kings books for my e-reader (I never download books illegally), and am very happy with them. I've actually got print copies of both as well (The Stand, Needful Things), but their my favourites, and I love rereading them.

Justice Dept. dismisses text-messaging probe
The U.S. Department of Justice has closed its investigation of cell phone text message pricing without any action taken against wireless operators, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
The Justice Department launched its investigation into text message pricing in September 2008, after Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wisc.) asked the agency to look into why wireless operators had doubled text-messaging rates from 10 cents per message to 20 cents per message sent and received. Kohl said he was concerned that the industry had colluded to increase rates at roughly the same time.
Wireless companies denied that they had colluded to set rates. … Read more
