Citizens in 35 states - including Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas - have filed petitions to break away from the united States.
Thousands are unhappy about the re-election of President Barack Obama, and they want out. They've signed online petitions submitted through The White House's "We The People" website, Which aims to give " all Americans a way to engage their government on the issues that matter to them."
If a petition meets the signature threshold, it will be reviewed by the administration which will then respond. The threshold is 25,000 signatures in 30 days. Texas has well over that number. Tennessee is not far behind and 20 other states are closing in.
"Oh I think it's silly. I think we shouldn't," said Tommy Chavez, Texas resident. "I mean, we voted and that's the way it is."
"I think it's divided showing how divided the country that were in right now," added Alejandro Caceres, also from Texas. "Really don't want to work together, can't see other side of the argument."
Democratic consultant Jason Stanford says it can only lead to trouble.
"The last time a bunch of stupid hicks did this, we fought a Civil War," he said. "This is bad. No good can come of it. Eventually they will shut up and sit down."
While some say this is all just talk, others say it's actually built into the Constitution that our forefathers thought about this a long time ago.
"The states were before the Union the states were colonies and they agreed to join the Union," said Perry Short of Memphis. "So the states were pre-Union, so to me if the consent of the governed has to be considered the people are the states and if they decide they want to; break away and create their own nation. What's wrong with that? We could get along with the other country. But why not have small government? That is what everybody wants is smaller government. You see what big government has done? It's breaking this country - $16 trillion in debt. We're not going to get out of that."

Report from IBS AB's Annual General Meeting on May 9, 2006
At the IBS Annual General Meeting on May 9, 2006, President Erik Heilborn announced that the company will accelerate the implementation of the company's strategy to establish an internationally leading position in selected segments in which IBS can successfully compete over the long term with favorable profitability.
"There is significant potential to further develop IBS through increased internationalization and specialization in industry solutions for supply chain management. The key to success over the coming years will include increasing software revenues, an area in which prospects are now favorable in that sales of the new IBS Enterprise 6 business system have begun. Our target market will also increase significantly with the launch of multi-platform versions at the end of the year," said Erik Heilborn, President and CEO of IBS.
The AGM approved a one-time dividend of SEK 2.00 per share for the 2005 fiscal year. Friday, May 12, 2006 was established as the record date for the right to receive the dividend, which is expected to be paid via VPC on Wednesday, May 17, 2006.
Furthermore, the AGM granted authorization for the Board of Directors on one or more occasions during the period until the next AGM to take decision on acquisition of the company's own shares. The authorization is subject to the restriction that the company's holding of treasury shares may not at any given time exceed 10 percent of all shares in the company.
The Board of Directors and the President were discharged from liability for the 2005 fiscal year by the AGM. The ordinary members of the Board of Directors Elisabet Annell, Johan Björklund, Kai Hammerich, Sigrun Hjelmquist, Lars Kylberg, Stig Nordfelt and Lars Nyberg were re-elected. Staffan Ahlberg, one of the founders of IBS, declined re-election and thus resigned from the IBS Board of Directors.
Lars Nyberg was re-elected Chairman. Kai Hammerich, Sigrun Hjelmquist and Lars Nyberg were elected to the Remuneration Committee, and Elisabeth Annell, Lars Kylberg and Stig Nordfelt were elected to the Audit Committee.
Furthermore, the AGM approved an increase in Board fees to 600,000 to be paid to the Chairman and SEK 200,000 each to the other Board members plus unchanged additional fees totaling SEK 300,000 to be distributed among committee members. The total fees amounts to SEK 2,100,000.
In addition, the AGM approved changes in the Articles of Association, in part with regard to restrictions on the right to convert A shares to B shares at the shareholder's request.
Complete meeting minutes will be available at www.ibs.net on the Investor Relations tab.
During 2006, IBS will gradually introduce the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance.

|Walleye bag limits to be posted at landings
Preliminary bag limits announced earlier this year for walleye caught in the ceded territory will not be printed in volume by the state and distributed, but will be posted at public boat landings and available for download from the web, state fisheries officials say.
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will, however, print and distribute in volume the final bag limits set after tribal spearing has occurred and sport fish bags are updated. Those finalized limits would be in effect for the rest of the 2013-'14 game fishing season, which ends March 2, 2014, according to Mike Staggs, Wisconsin's fisheries director."Anglers planning to fish for walleye

Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff will undergo an MRI for an ankle sprain suffered in the first half against the St. Louis Rams, according to Jason LaCanfora.
Ratliff was seen walking around on crutches in the locker room following the Cowboys 20-19 win over the St. Louis Rams on Saturday. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated that Ratliff had suffered an ankle sprain in the first half, with the MRI needed to determine just how serious the sprain may be.
Ratliff's status for the season opener against the New York Giants on Sept. 5 is uncertain.
The veteran nose tackle had missed nearly all offseason workouts and most of the preseason while working through plantar fasciitis in his right foot, and had recently returned to the field after being cleared for practice.

Discussions are once again heating up around the possibility that this may, finally, be the year of desktop virtualization. What's different this year from last -- or the year before that, when similar predictions were made?
Software and hardware companies have been addressing many of the challenges associated with desktop virtualization technology. But one of the major hurdles in any virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment has been the issue of storage -- more specifically, the cost and storage-related IO bottleneck (or IOPS) problems. Let's be honest: Currently deployed enterprise storage wasn't designed to deal with the types of load coming from a VDI-equipped data center. This has caused many VDI initiatives to either stall or completely fail.
[ Also on InfoWorld: The future looks bright for VMware Flings | Ravello Systems raises $26M to build a cloud hypervisor for developers. | Track the latest trends in virtualization in InfoWorld's Virtualization Report newsletter. ]
One of the answers to this challenge has been to replace traditional spinning media with flash arrays. While that would certainly drive enough IOPS to address many storage issues currently found within a VDI deployment, it would also be fairly expensive to purchase this type of flash storage in the large quantities needed.
That's where a company like GreenBytes might come in handy. The company's IO Offload Engine is a dedicated solid-state disk array that was designed from the ground up as a desktop virtualization appliance. It integrates at the hypervisor level and manages specific data stores: the golden images (provisioning), replica datastore (boot), and linked clone area (swap).
The platform's secret sauce is the combination of massive bandwidth, patented low-latency high-IO inline deduplication (removing redundant data before or as it is being written to a storage device) and compression. It diverts OS and swap disk activity away from primary storage (SAN) to high-speed flash, solving the performance and latency problems and poor user experience that occur during peak usage.
Instead of throwing high-performance flash-based storage at the problem, GreenBytes says it zero latency inline deduplication process reduces the amount of flash storage space required by as much as 97 percent.

Silvia is gorgeous! I personally prefer the more traditional Sylvia spelling--it seems more silvery and balanced and sweet to me--but if Silvia is what you love, by all means, use it! It's more classic than old-lady, imo, and it would be so refreshing to meet a little Silvia these days! I've always been partial to Sylvia Claire/Silvia Claire as a combo--I think that'd be fab. Something like Silvia Felicity or Silvia Penelope would be lovely, too, imo.
Good luck!

Silvia is NOT an old lady name...it's gorgeous and classy and sweet! It'll fit right in today, but stand out just enough to make it feel special. It's a wonderful choice, made even better with it's family connection for you.

Turns out most people wear less than half of the clothes they own, but FOX 9's Rob Olson got some tips on how to make the most of your wardrobe and clean out closet clutter.
"I might use it someday" seems to be the way many sum up their clothing keepsakes, but hanging on to too many outdated outfits can turn a wardrobe into a closet-space vampire. In fact, most people only actually use 20 percent of what they have hanging up at home.
Mall of America trend expert Sara Rogers believes that in order for a wardrobe to be functional, it should be built on the basics.
Watch the video for more information.
Rogers said simply moving duds that have been collecting dust can help determine whether or not to keep them, and periodic purges can keep a closet focused on quality instead of quantity.

I really strained the middle of my back BAD today doing back exercises. It got me while doing shrugs of all things. My weight wasn't that heavy and form was good. I can barely move and it feels like severe spasms also if I try to move.
1. should I apply ice or heat?
2. i have some Vioxx anti-inflammatory medication for my knee. will this help?
3. any other over the counter med help?
It is really hurting almost to the point of nausea. I know all a doc will say is rest and take it easy, so a doc visit isn't warranted yet. Thx...
vioxx is just a pain reliever if I'm not mistaken.
if thats teh case u'd be better off with Ibuprofin which relieves inflammation, swelling, and pain
Sore muscle treatment
Treatment options include heat therapy and moist heat therapy ( Place a heated pad on the sore muscle and leave for 10 minutes, 2 or 3 cycles of this may help reduce the soreness. ) Also Ice cubes may be used to help remove the lactic acid buildup, often times swelling can occur from the sore muscle and ice cubes will help reduce this problem.
A combination of these will help flush out the muscles by doing a cycle of heat therapy, then ice therapy and repeat as you feel is necessary

yup. get some ibuprofen down your neck. also realise that numbed pain from drugs is a dangerous thing. the mucles are spasmd up to protect something that wasnt happy during the shrugs, so just because its number dosnt mean you can do star jumps and squat thrusts on it
where is the pain? you said middle of your back but the middle of your back runs from your ass crack to the top of your neck did you mean kinda spinal but level with the navel? higher? between shoulder blades? where abouts?
shrugs directly put load through the cervical (neck) spine. one of the nerves that exits at this level is the accessory nerve that innervates - you guessed it...trapezius. the muscle you shrug with. so its perfectly possible to do shrugs...trap the nerve thats doing the shrugs by compressing the neck with the load you are shrugging and then end up with it spasmd all to hell and back. seen it happen often.
rest. ice. ibuprofen. stay still for a day or two. then start moving around and see if its still killing you. if it is its doc time. if you can stand it...then any gentle stretches as if you were reaching out to grab something with both hands will prolly help. but until the major spasm calms down its going to be tricky to know whats the root problem.
good point, I guess I just assumed he'd be laying in a bed till he got better...Originally Posted by Augury
I agree, if ur gonna be up and about then ibuprofin might not be the way to go...as it'll lower your defense mechanisms and make you more susceptible to causing greater damage

Does anyone know how all of the creeks are faring on the east side of 101? High tide is approaching...
on Dec 2, 2012 at 12:57 pm
check the city creek website and creek/s monitor. www.cityofpaloalto.org
Click on creek monitor. All the water coming down from Foothill Park, etc. and Corte Madera Creek and others in the foothills is 'delayed' action after the storm. Takes a full hour, so it is said for the runoff to come downhill. SF Creek at 101 is right up to the top. It is now 12:55 p.m.
on Dec 2, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Thanks, Bob - appreciate the update. I use the monitor & saw the SF creek in several places on the west side but haven't ventured to the east side yet, so that's why I was asking. I hope you're staying dry!

We were unable to drive through the Oregon underpass this morning due to the flooding. As we took the detour over Alma we looked down and saw a Volvo trying to drive through.
The water was halfway up their driver's side door. I was astounded that they kept on plowing on into deeper water. Crazy.
on Dec 3, 2012 at 3:04 pm
So let me get this straight...People were moving the hazard cones that were set out so they could drive though? for what I would assume could only be convenience? So many, in fact that the police have to issue reminders not to do this? I can't believe what I'm reading. What is it about Palo Alto drivers?!?!?! The worst.

This tour delves into Mallorca's intriguing history, beginning in an area of the island called Pla de Sant Jordi, or Saint Jordi's Plain, where windmills still dot the landscape. Here, Mallorca's rich agricultural customs live on at Els Calderers, an 18th century manor house, which the owners have graciously opened to the public in an effort to share the traditions of Mallorca.
Stroll at your leisure through the impressive Great Hall, Hunting Room, kitchen, and into the wine cellar, where you may sample some locally produced vintages. "Mi casa es su casa" has never rung so true.
Your will next visit the Bellver Castle, which was constructed in the early 1300s, during the reign of Jaime I of Mallorca. It is the only circular Gothic castle in Europe with a double gallery of arches inside the central patio. The castle also affords some marvelous views of Palma.
Afterwards, you'll rejoin your coach and travel back to the pier.

Enon presents contemporary 'Christmas Carol'
- Written by Arlene Edmonds
- Published in Metros: Northwest
The Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church found a way to present Charles Dickens' classic with a contemporary twist.
"A Christmas Carol Urbanized" drew a full house to the church's east campus at 2800 W. Cheltenham Ave. last Thursday. It was presented by the congregation's Integrated Arts & Music Ministry (IAMM).
"This is really so nice," said Denise Williams of Mount Airy, who brought along her 8-year-old granddaughter Jada to the holiday performance. "This is a way for parents and other family members to get away from the hustle and bustle of shopping and decorating for something positive. I think it brings home the understanding that Christmas is really about the Lord."
Robert Beale of Wyncote concurred. He has been a member of Enon for the past nine years. He said the play was not only well-executed and entertaining, but also emphasized the reason for the season.
"I found it to be very touching," he said. "It just reminded all of us that God has a hand in our lives and there is a reason never to give up. In these hard times sometimes people can get cold-hearted or want to turn away from God, but this play showed us all the reasons we need to come back home."
Clifford K. Flood had the crowd engaged in emotional outbursts during his performance of Ebenezer "Rock" Scrooge.
The 21st Century Scrooge was transformed into the owner of Columbus Boulevard Records. He drew spontaneous laughter as he reiterated that he was the "golden glove boxing champion of 1988" and felt smug about giving his employees a $5 holiday bonus.
Among the contemporary issues brought up in the play were Scrooge's nephew Thomas' dilemma when his health insurance was discontinued just as one of his four daughters needed an operation. Thomas also was faced with paying back half his wages to his uncle in repayment for his college education. In addition, his base salary did not reflect the fact that he had an undergraduate career and a professional job.
Jason Bell did an energized performance of the son of Scrooge's only daughter. Other actors in the play included Steffany Hendon, Yolanda Williams, Camari Fitzgerald, Arthur Poole, Amina Lecato, Amiya Fitzgerald, Iyani Midgette, Randy and Angie Goode, and Yvesmark Chery.
"A Christmas Carol Urbanized" was written and directed by Chanta N. Barrett. Errica Gardner served as assistant director.
Production assistants included Sheena Banks, Damien Brown and Olivia Jackson. IAMM seeks to pursue ministry through the arts.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic -- Apparently, there's a need for a place where Czech singles can get together.
So, the operators of the subway system are talking about a "singles only' train car on off-hour runs.
It's a push to get people out of their private vehicles.
A spokesman suggests, suggestively, that there are things you can do on public transport that you cannot do in your car.
You can fill in the blanks there.
We want to point out that the 'singles only" train isn't running yet.
These people are just friendly.
An online survey by a Czech newspaper showed 46% approved of the idea, and another 46% thought the idea was "absolute nonsense".

Heyman: Imelda Staunton to Return as Umbridge for Deathly HallowsDH Film
As reported previously, Harry Potter film producer David Heyman made an appearance at an Apple store in Los Angeles. Later SS was able to get a few minutes with Mr. Heyman who passed on some nuggets about the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films. As heard in this audio recording here on youtube, Mr Heyman confirmed the return of Imelda Staunton as Umbridge. He also told them about the introduction of Bill Weasley (Domhnall Gleeson) saying "Well, we know it's his wedding. So, he's introduced at his wedding and
we express it's Bill and Fleur's wedding so you know it's Bill Weasley
and it's at the Weasley house. So you know pretty much who he is when
you see him and Fleur. It's pretty clear in the end."
Earlier TLC first reported young Dumbledore has been cast and will be portrayed by Toby Regbo. In the interview David Heyman confirmed the part would be in the film, saying: "We have Hermione reading parts of the book and we also have a character at the wedding who talks about Dumbledore's past. There's Elphias Doge, who also has a more favorable opinion of Dumbledore. Hermione finds Rita Skeeter's book and she reads the book to them. SS: Is there going to be an actor playing young Dumbledore? Heyman: Yes."
Thanks Snitchseeker!

How this works:
Several other sites do a better job of explaining the chemistry of this - but basically you set up a conductive solution and insert some sacrificial anodes. You hang your rusted tool in the solution and attach it to the negative end of the power supply. You attach the positive end to the anode and turn on the power. The current travels through the solution and in the process flakes off the rust - the flaking/softening occurs because of the reaction at the surface of the good steel that pushes the rust off.
See this site
for more info on the chemistry of it all. (now linked to a waybackmachine archive of the site - modern suggestions for this background are welcome).
Step 1: Gather supplies
This project cost me about $40 because I did not have access to a small battery charger. If you have a charger, then most folks with a decent shop full of crap can do it for almost nothing.
- Clean 5 gallon spackle bucket or other plastic container to meet your size needs
- 5 sections of 18" long 1/2" steel rebar ($5 at Home Depot –
buy in longer sections as needed) (DO NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL)
- 5 feet 12 awg (or so) insulated copper wire in two colors
- 5 yellow wire nuts
- several red wire nuts
- 5 feet pliable tie wire (non insulated) SEE UPDATE on Step 2 - the tie wire rusts out after about a year - you may want to use something more substantial or resistant to rusting.
- Box of washing soda NOT baking soda
- Anti-oxidant goo (IE Noalox – This is not necessary
but helps I think.
- Small battery charger or home made power supply ($20-$50 at AutoZone etc) - Its best if the charger
has a 6v option and an internal "trouble" switch that stops charging if something shorts out.
- Variety pack of alligator clips from RadioShack (unless charger comes with decent ones…)
- Outside outlet or extension cord
- GFCI protected outlet (this is a must in my opinion - working around power and water is stupid unless
you have GFCI protection
- 5 gal water
- misc clamps/small boards
- drill with 1/4 bit
- wire cutting and twisting pliars (linemans tools are best
- wire brush (better if on a grinder or dremel tool)
- anti rust spray or light oil
Washing Soda is also known as ("aka") sodium Carbonate (not bicarbonate, that is baking soda, won't work)
Anode is the POSITIVE (red clip) power type, it goes to the sacrificial part.
Cathode is the NEGATIVE (black clip) or GROUND power type, it goes to the part to be cleaned. The electricity flows from the POSITIVE to the NEGATIVE, so it takes the iron with it and cleans off the junk by the new iron trying to reach the old iron.
Hope these terms help....
I'm new to the site and retirement. This tutorial is just what I need to salvage stuff I've accumulated over the years. I know I'm anal and maybe my concern has been addressed in an earlier post, and if it has I hope the administer will delete this comment. But if anybody's concerned about safety, NEVER NEVER use the wrong colored clips for connections. RED is always positive and an uninformed person with the best intentions could mix things up and trash a good charger. I'm sorry, what I was referring to were the pictures in Steps 2,5&6. Please correct me if I'm wrong and I appolagize if I am.. But isn't there a red clip connected to the blade? and shouldn't it be a negative connection (black) I hope I didn't offend anyone.
Be Safe
No offense - and good clarification! I will make a note on the picture.
My most humble apologies. Considering all the great contributions you've made to Instructables I had no right to question your method and should have understood better what you meant by initial set-up. The operation worked better than I could've asked for and did a great job on my parts. I'm sorry that my initial post had to be one as a snob. You did great portraying the concept of how it should be set-up, and I failed to be more comprehensive in my reading. As I sit at your bench of wisdom I hope to absorb many more ideas and tricks of the trade that I missed the first time around.
Thank you for not torching me
I don't think you need to apologize, and he can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think ToolNut didn't expect an apology either. The fact that you might not have commented if you had been "more comprehensive" in your reading actually highlights one of the risks of Instructables: a picture is worth a thousand words. That red-handled spring clamp DOES look an awful lot like the positive clamp of a battery charger, and you may have saved someone from using their favorite old tool as a sacrificial anode to brighten up some cheap rebar!
Instructables has no shortage of "concern trolls" (NEVER do ANYTHING with electricity EVER!!!!1!), but the good authors seem to welcome comments that point to photos or text that might be misinterpreted by reasonably intelligent people.
(just kidding!!! thanks for the laugh!)
Also, I don't have any of that tire wire and not sure HD or Lowes even sells that.. Can you just use electrical wire for that?
Anyone know what store(s) have washing soda readily available?
I have this charger here: http://www.amazon.com/Battery-Tender-021-0128-Plus-Charger/dp/B00068XCQU/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1336404217&sr=1-1 (12V 1.25A).. Will it work OK?
I plan on dunking my rotor(s) and hopefully my calipers as well..
This is my first post here and I don't wish to offend, but this isn't an instructable for the perfect electrolysis tank, just ToolNut's design of "an" electrolysis tank. That's not meant to criticize, but to point out that every single thing can be replaced with something else(except water and electricity) that you probably already have and that might actually work better. Don't get hung up on the details.
Ideally you'd want the surface area of your anode to be equal to or greater than that of the cathode(the part you're trying to clean).
The battery tender should work just fine, but might switch to "float" as the part gets cleaner.
It's been a while but SCUBA shops used to have all plastic wire ties, to prevent various attached items from disappearing due to corrosion.
Good Luck
1. stainless steel does not conduct amps well don't use it.
2. Copper for your anode is better used and a copper pipe flatting ¾ of it with a hammer
3. the further your anode is away from your work peace is bad it takes more amps and time to work on cleaning.
4. Power 1 to 12 volts they don't matter at all amps is what matters 10 amps works the best no closer than 4 inches from what you are cleaning the farther your anode is from what you are cleaning the more amps it takes to do the job.
5. Cleaning soap phosphates use TSP you will find it in a store that sales paint it is a mild soap use
for cleaning walls in the house to paint. It will not harm you. Plus add two cups of white vinegar to 4 gallons of water in your 5 gallon buck of water mix with soap it will help to conduct the amps better. O and what I mean that TSP won't harm you I mean your hands please people don't drink it is a small joke:)
and one more thing please people stop telling people that stainless steel is toxic if they use it because its not it just wont carrier the amps. The only way to make it toxic is to weld with it over a long time or by passing volts throw it at high amps in a acid bath and I mean amps 150 amps and up.
Thank you for your time hope this helps
When S.S. undergoes electrolysis hexavalent chromium (remember Erin Brockovich?) an industrial byproduct and toxin is produced due to chrome in the SS being released into the electrolyte. The result is a disposal problem. If you doubt any of this, research HHO fuel cells and you will see Stainless is used as anode and cathode to create Browns Gas A.K.A. HHO(hydrogen, hydrogen, oxygen). Having a disposal problem is not on my list of must haves, so I'm forced to look at titanium which is very expensive, and only moderately conductive.
Re the stainless steel advice - there is simply too much other advice out there warning of the potential hazards of this, so I am going to maintain my statement that stainless should not be used. for example, here is one of the original electrolytic rust removal sites that was inspiration for this instructable:
So anyway, I'm going to stick to err on the side of caution on this one and continue to caution against stainless, but am interested if there is something definitive on this. Lastly, I don't see a real benefit to stainless, its more expensive, and we are talking about a disposable anode by definition, no matter what kind of conductive material it is...
1. I only used washing soda in a 1tbsp /gal ratio. My largest tank was 7ft W X 3ft L X 3ft D. This was for the lathe bed and the Mill body.
2. My anodes are always steel plate. Plain old 1/8" mild steel. Pieces about 10inx 12 in. In the large tank I had 8 of them. In a 35gal plastic garbage can where I did most everything I used 2. I drilled a hole and bolted bailing wire (now called tie wire) to them and hung them in the bath.
3. I clean my pieces using a plastic bristle brush and some orange gojo degreasing hand cleaning stuff. Just get the grease off your part so it will conduct. This process has removed everything from unseen grease and dirt & paint, but especially rust!
4. Leave overnight.
5. remove the anodes and simply wire brush the crud off and set them aside to be used again. The anodes will corrode completely away eventually. I think it kinda looks cool the pitting and corrosion that occurs on the anode. the way I see it, the more surface area of the anode the more electrons can flow onto it and the more rust it removes.
Sorry I don't have pics of the tank ( I may somewhere) but I do have before and after pics of the machines, however in the after they are completely repainted. I've done parts hanging half in the bath then rotated over after the first part is done. Screws bolts and nuts are easy when you simply cut a long piece of wire then tie them all together with a couple wraps around them and space them about 1" apart. the results are nothing short of amazing. There is no damage to the original part.
Warning!! Get the polarity right! If not you will corrode whatever you are cleaning into something unusable really quickly.
"It is important that any copper connected to the anode does not touch the solution. If it does, copper will oxidize to cupric ion, Cu++. The connector will be destroyed. Most of the copper ions formed should precipitate as copper carbonate or copper hydroxide, but if any of this dissolved copper reaches the cathode it will be reduced to copper metal on the iron object. Its presence will promote rapid re-rusting."
I set up the tank with the work piece inserted and fill with water from the garden hose. The carbonate does not dissolve easily in cold water. I get a half gallon of hot water and dissolve a handful in that. Then add slowly to the main tank until the charger current comes up to what I want. I have an old 6 amp 6/12 volt charger. I don't know the chemistry either, but believe the lower voltage works better, and it is really amps per square inch of tool surface that controls the process.
I pull the tools out about every half hour and give them a light scrub with a brass bristle brush. The brass won't scratch cast iron. You can find good brass brushes at stores selling barbeque grills. Watch that they are not just brass plated steel though. If you scrub the piece while it is wet with carbonate, some of the brass will plate over onto the iron, giving it a slight yellow cast. I think it looks antiquey. If you don't like that idea, rinse the piece well before brushing.
I wrote an article featuring this instructable, check it out here at http://www.squidoo.com/electrolytic-rust-removal. I will be adding more content as I go along so stay tuned!

If the city really wanted to get money for a new parking structure they could just give more tickets on middlefield rd and parking tickets Loma Verde Ave. I have seen cops completely ignore this area every weekend, the cops get snotty when you point out to them that there are at least 10 to 15 cars parked in no parking area. Either remove the bike lane or enforce the law and get some money.
Also enforce the speed limits on middlefield, but I also heard from a city official that they cannot do that because it disrupts business in midtown. Wonder who is getting paid off or incentives not to enforce the law........

> Editor,
> This "Millenium Era" project (The Color of Palo Alto) had a questionable stated purpose from the beginning: How could any city be a color?
It seems to me that color of Palo Alto is pretty darn close to the green color on the left side of this page ... if any color can that color reminds me or all the signs and green plants of Palo Alto ... although Palo Alto should have a red/brown component as well, but then it looks dried out and we want to avoid that allusion at all costs! I think Palo Alto Online found it! Do they have a patent on that color or can anyone use it? ;-)

logical, a resident of the Midtown neighborhood brings up the speed limit in Middlefield road as a problem or potential source of revenue.
I think it's a bad idea. Leave well enough alone. I very rarely see anyone doing anything stupid or dangerous on Middlefield. Traffic seems to find its own safe speed and if that doesn't keep the speed down the traffic usually does. Don't make people crazy with excess tickets unless they are disrupting traffic of driving dangerously is my opinion, that should be the requirement in all tickets, not just some technical excuse for an officer with nothing better to do to raise revenue for the city.

---- —
For 50 minutes, Milford's plan to slow down defending Section Four, Class D champion Cherry Valley-Springfield worked well.
Unfortunately for the host Wildcats, the two varsity boys soccer teams played for 80 minutes on Monday, with the Patriots overcoming a slow start to stay undefeated with a 2-1 victory.
"They came out very intense against us," CV-S coach Terri Adams said of the Wildcats, who packed their defense and clogged the passing lanes. "I thought we held onto the ball too long early. Once we started regrouping and passing the ball the way we practice, the lanes opened up and we were able to play our game."
With a soggy field, and a sharp game plan, Milford played the aggressor for the first 20 minutes. The Wildcats couldn't get the ball in the net, but they kept the ball away from CV-S early and kept the action in the Patriot area.
CV-S began to turn the momentum in the last 20 minutes of the first half settling into the one-touch, short-passing game that is its trademark.
Four times toward the end of the half, the Patriots came gaspingly close to getting a ball past Milford goalie Parker Fish. One ball hit the crossbar, another sailed just over it, a third hit Fish and then the post and bounced out and one got past Fish only to be cleared by the defense.
Late in the half, Milford had two good shots at the Patriot goal, both on long balls by Peyton Griffiths, but both carried over the goal.
"We both had our chances and we both got a little lucky the way the ball bounced," Milford coach Frank Spurchise said.
In the second half, CV-S regained its form. The Patriots scored with just more than 11 minutes into the half. Kyle Jaquay headed a corner kick from Wyatt Crowley over Fish and into the goal for a 1-0 lead.
Milford almost tied the game two minutes later, but Eli Rutledge's line drive long ball hit the cross bar and bounced safely away.
With just more than 15 minutes left in the game, CV-S struck again. Crowley hit a long ball that Fish knocked into the cross bar. It bounced back onto the field to Noah Russo who beat Fish for a 2-0 lead.
Milford scored with 9:26 left in the game on a penalty kick from Griffiths. The referee called a takedown from behind on Elijah Lyons and gave him a yellow card for a play inside the box.
Griffiths shot on the ground to the left. CV-S goalie Jon French guessed correctly, and dove at the ball, but couldn't make the play.
"There were too many bodies in the way for me to see," Adams said of the call, "but with the muddy field, I think maybe he just lost his footing."
Griffith's goal was only the second French and the Patriots have given up all season. The first came in the season-opener against Unadilla Valley. In between, CV-S has posted eight shutouts.
"They're a very talented team," Spurchise said. "I thought we played them even the first half. We made it exciting late with that goal."
The Wildcats' attempts at a tying goal fell flat, however, and CV-S was able to keep the ball out of its zone and deflect the pressure.
The two teams will have a rematch Tuesday at CV-S. Milford (6-3-1,6-2-1) hosts Bainbridge-Guilford on Friday; CV-S (10-0, 8-0) is at Richfield Springs on Friday.
Cherry Valley-Springfield 2, Milford 1
Milford 0 1 _ 1
CV-S (10-0, 8-0): Kyle Jaquay 1-0, Noah Russo 1-0, Wyatt Crowley 0-2.
Milford (6-3-1, 6-2-1): Peyton Griffiths 1-0.
Shots-corner kicks: C 11-7; M 6-5.
Goalies: Jon French (C) 4; Parker Fish (M) 7, Max Lang (M) 0.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- On Wednesday, the rain came so hard and so fast that much of the Capital Region experienced flash flooding – even rats were displaced!
"I've never seen rain like that in my entire life here," Jeffery Belschwinder, who sent in video of the heavy water forcing rats onto the streets, said.
The video shows how high the water got on some streets in Troy as trucks plowed through.
"You couldn't even see a couple feet in front of you at the time. It was just ridiculous," he said.
The heavy rains created massive puddles and temporary ponds along Albany roads.
"There were garbage cans floating down in the alley way," Belschwinder said.
Some drivers had to pull over because it was too dangerous to drive, and others, like Mike Jevons, got stuck.
"I sat in the parking lot till the rain let up, then I hit the puddle and shorted right out," he said.
Jevons thought he could make it, but didn't realize there was a dip in the road and the water was higher than it appeared.
"The vehicle stalled, I tried to restart it, it didn't restart," he said.
The towing companies have been busy helping people like Jevons out of rough spots during the storm.
"I was just down in Menands," Jermiah Beck of Hitman's Towing said. "There was flooding down there."
And as fast as the downpour came, the water drained out within the hour leaving behind dry roads.

Marching from Shubra to deaths at Maspero
This is my account of what I saw yesterday at Maspero, originally published here. The march from the Cairo district of Shubra was huge, like the numbers on 28 January. In the front row was a group of men in … Continue reading

There was something different about Dokki police station after the revolution, or perhaps it just changes at night, when the civil servants dispensing ID cards leave the building to the police. From the outside nothing has changed, there are still … Continue reading

On this ocassion, the NATO Deputy Secretary General, Ambassador Claudio Bisogniero joined Hungarian Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai, Minister of Defence Imre Szekeres, as well as high-level civilian and military representatives of the twelve SAC participating nations1 and officials representing structures responsible for the project's implementation. The event also brought to the airfield hundreds of interested members of the local public, who were able to tour the C-17.
The Heavy Airlift Wing (HAW) – which will operate the fleet of C17s – was activated during the ceremony, with a symbolic handing of the HAW flag by Minister Szekeres to HAW Commander, Col. John Zazworsky.
In his speech, the NATO Deputy Secretary General said: "Building on the experiences and lessons learned from two decades of operation of another highly successful multi-national capability – the NATO Airborne Early Warning fleet (the AWACs) – the SAC exemplifies what can be accomplished when nations come together for a common purpose – to acquire, collectively, a capability that would be beyond the means of nations, acting individually. This is the true testimony of Allied solidarity."
In his turn, Prime Minister Bajnai expressed his gratitude "…for the confidence placed in Hungary as the host nation for the Main Operating base for the C-17s," and called the ceremony, which comes 10 years after Hungary joined the Alliance, "a very historic moment".
- 12 participating nations: 10 NATO Nations (Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, the United States) and 2 Partners (Finland and Sweden)

David Feherty, An Idiot for All Seasons
by Charles Lemos, Fri May 08, 2009 at 04:20:39 PM EDT
David Feherty is a former professional golfer and currently a golf analyst for CBS Sports. By his own admission, he is a "F-list" celebrity though that didn't stop the D Magazine from inviting Mr. Feherty to write an article welcoming George and Laura Bush to his Preston Hallow neighborhood in Dallas. If his column is meant to be satire, it widely missed that mark. It's offensive if not treasonous. He starts off bemoaning the difficulties faced by the former President by noting that his "two terms must have felt like the rest of the world had inserted the Washington Monument into him and it was his job to heave it out." Sodomizing former Presidents, what a nice touch. But that's nothing. He then goes on to suggest that US soldiers if given the chance would shoot Nancy Pelosi twice before strangling Harry Reid.
From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this, though: despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Osama bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death.
Two bullets for Nancy. One can only imagine where Mr. Feherty would have those bullets go. CBS Sports should relieve Mr. Feherty of his duties immediately. An apology does not suffice. Mr. Feherty is also the author of a book, A Idiot for All Seasons, which I am guessing must be an autobiography.
More on this appalling story at The Hill.

New London — City firefighters on Wednesday extinguished a fire on the roof of the Whaling City Ford car dealership at 475 Broad St., at the corner of Colman Street.
Shortly after 9 p.m., small flames could be seen sprouting from the roof at the corner of the building above the showroom of the dealership. Firefighters used ladders to access the roof and could be seen using saws to cut into the building façade, apparently an effort to determine if the fire had spread. The fire occurred in the area of a large spotlight.
The visible fire had been extinguished with water at about 9:45 p.m. Information on the extent of the damage and cause of the fire was not immediately available.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Some horses seized from the Wing and a Prayer Farm in September have new homes, while the rest are available for adoption
Crane Mountain Valley Horse Rescue, an accredited horse-rescue group, is handling the process and will hold an open house on Saturday to preview the animals available.
By Monday morning, more than a dozen of the horses had already been adopted.
The horses — 41 in all, including foals and three stallions — were taken from the Essex farm on 20 acres owned by Shelley Wing.
She and her daughter, Emily Wing, face 41 counts each of failure to provide sustenance, a misdemeanor under State Agriculture and Markets Law.
The county took custody of the herd initially on Sept. 18 through the Essex County Sheriff's Department. And legal proceedings against the Wings are moving through Essex Town Court.
Shelley was required to bond for $43,890 by Oct. 8 to provide a month's medical care and food for the animals as they remained in county custody. The failure to pay the bond, which would have been renewed continuing costs every 30 days, released the horses to Essex County.
The Essex County Board of Supervisors hired Crane Mountain Horse Rescue, based in Westport, to organize the adoption effort.
One of the horses died soon after the seizure, leaving 40 to find new homes.
In an announcement Monday, Crane Horse Rescue owner Nancy Van Wie said the animals' health and condition have improved immensely since they were taken in mid September.
"All of the horses have gained weight and vitality. Each horse has been checked for internal parasites, dewormed, brought up to date on vaccinations and has a negative Coggins report. A negative Coggins test for equine infectious anemia is required in New York state to transport horses," the Crane news release said.
