Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The generation, storage, and transport of energy are among the greatest challenges, if not the most formidable challenge at all, for years to come. Although there have been exciting new developments in these fields, many open questions remain. Many of these are closely connected to materials science, physics, and chemistry. As a result, International Journal of Molecular Sciences will publish a special issue on energy technology for the 21st century. The special issue will showcase the latest and most promising developments for the next centuries. Contributions (reviews and original papers) from all branches of energy technology are welcome and will be considered for publication.

Laudrup: 'Great win' at Fulham
Michael Laudrup has praised Swansea City's resilience in grinding out a 2-1 win at Fulham yesterday.
His side were without top scorer Michu, and the man to chosen to lead the line in his place - Danny Graham - got the first goal.
Laudrup said: 'it was so important for him to score that goal', and that he would sit down with Graham in January to discuss his future. Graham hasn't had much game time this season.
– Michael Laudrup, Swansea City Manager
You can't always win playing well with the ball. That's what I talked about when I arrived some months ago, that sometimes you have to use a Plan B or Plan C. Because, if you always want to do the same thing, if that's not working, do we just stop playing our game or go home or what? I think it was a great win and once more showed that our team has character.

Trampled by Turtles started a side project. A bunch of plugged-in rock guys wanted to go acoustic, and found that they belonged unplugged, playing foot-stomping fiddle tunes. While the band has been around since 2003, they found acceptance in the Bluegrass community with the 2008 release of Duluth, and gained further ground in 2010 with Palomino. In the last year, TBT has entered the mainstream with appearances everywhere from The Late Show to Lollapalooza.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins tapped into some Major League bloodlines during Day 2 of the First-Year Player Draft on Tuesday. Minnesota used its ninth-round pick to select Connecticut second baseman LJ Mazzilli, son of former player and manager Lee Mazzilli.
LJ, a 6-foot, 190-pounder, hit .339 with a .548 slugging percentage for the Huskies in 2012, earning First-Team All-Big East honors.
"His bat is a premium tool," Twins vice president of player personnel Mike Radcliff said. "He's been a guy that's impressed us with not just his ability to hit, but he also has some pop for a guy his size."
His father, Lee, played 14 big league seasons with the Pirates, Rangers, Yankees, Blue Jays and Mets, and he was a member of New York's 1986 World Series champion team. He was selected as an All-Star in 1979 and finished his career with a .259 batting average and a .359 on-base percentage.
Lee served as first-base coach for the 2000 World Series champion Yankees and managed the Orioles from 2004-05.
Radcliff said the Twins aren't sure what position LJ will end up playing.
"He's a pretty good athlete," Radcliff said. "We'll start him off at second base and see how that goes."

Cirencester mother jumps out of plane to say thanks to baby charity (From Stroud News and Journal)
Get involved: send your pictures, video, news and views by texting SNJ NEWS to 80360, or email us
Siobhan Walker plans skydive to say thanks to baby charity for helping her daughter
Updated 9:31am Friday 14th February 2014 in News By Megan Archer, Reporter
A MOTHER from Cirencester is jumping from a plane flying thousands of feet up in the air to raise £1,000 for a charity that helped her cope during her baby daughter's illness.
Siobhan Walker, 20, gave birth to Arabella in November 2013. Both Siobhan and her partner Rob had found out early in the pregnancy that their baby was suffering from gastroschisis, where part or all of a baby's bowel and intestines do not develop inside the foetus.
When Arabella was born, she was born with her bowel, intestines and even part of her stomach outside of her body.
"I'd always said I felt prepared but as soon as Arabella was born I realised I was far from it," said Siobhan.
"It was a traumatic thing to see and I could barely even touch her when she was born as she was hooked up to so many wires. I really struggled."
Arabella's condition affects about one in 3,000 babies.
While Arabella was receiving treatment in St Michael's Hospital in Bristol, Siobhan and her partner stayed in accommodation just across the road, provided by Cots for Tots.
Cots for Tots supports the work of the special care baby unit at the Bristol hospital where Arabella stayed.
The charity fundraises to provide medical equipment for the hospital and provide the Cots for Tots House, a "home from home" for families of babies staying on the unit.
"The best thing was being so close to the hospital," Siobhan continued.
"We were literally just across the road so if there was ever a problem, we didn't have to do any travelling.
"I stayed there the whole time Arabella was in hospital."
Siobhan is trying to raise £1,000 to thank Cots for Tots for getting her through the painful few days spent with Arabella at the hospital.
"I'm doing a skydive on August 3 which I haven't done before, but I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie so I'm looking forward to it," she said. "Everyone else thinks I'm mad, though."
Both mother and daughter are back in Cirencester and Arabella now only bears a small slice near her belly button which never sealed after the treatment.
"She isn't in any pain anymore," said Siobhan. "She's just a typical three-month-old baby with a cheeky smile."
To contribute, visit justgiving.com/Arabella211 to donate to Cots for Tots and support Siobhan's fundraiser.

> Ann Gregory
Ann Gregory
Ann Gregory has her priorities firmly in place. "The three most important things to me are God, my family and friends, and quality medical care for our community is third," she said.
Sometimes those priorities intersect. When Munson Medical Center began raising funds to build a new Emergency Department, Ann had poignant memories of sitting next to her mother waiting for care on an overflow bed in the Emergency Department hallway. Her mother had Alzheimer's Disease and had been injured in a fall - waiting in the hallway made a difficult situation even harder. "I told my husband, I really want to donate significantly to this Emergency Department in memory of my mom." When Ann heard preliminary discussions about a new Cancer Center, her reaction was the same. The Gregory's made another donation, this time in honor of their youngest daughter, Emily Miezio, who is a nurse practitioner and had worked in oncology - a field she was inspired to pursue when she watched her young cousin battle cancer.
"I'm very interested in the medical field - it's an interest that goes way back," Ann said. As the oldest of seven children, she watched her father, a World War II medic, adeptly take care of the family's medical needs. She inherited his "take charge" ability and used her passion for medical care when she worked as a hospital aide in Bay City, and then as she became a farm wife and mother. Her interest also led her to accept a seat on the Leelanau Memorial Hospital Board. She is actively involved in Immanual Lutheran Church of Sutton's Bay and was active at the Sutton's Bay Schools while her children attended school there.
"When I was asked to be on the Munson Healthcare Regional Foundation Board, I thought it was a good fit," she said. "I've worked on a lot of fundraisers - somebody has to do the asking, and I'm not afraid to ask. Having quality health care services is just so important to me. We're serving so many counties now; it's not just our immediate counties to think of but all of those people who drive here for care - even from the U.P. We should have state-of-the-art care here."
Ann is eager to help with future fundraising. "I love to be in the middle of organizing a campaign because it's positive, fun, and challenging. I love being a mother and a grandmother, and I love working on hospital boards."

Teen shoots brother accidentally
Date: August 14, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Two brothers are stable after the younger brother accidentally shot them both while disassembling their father's gun.
According to Manatee County Sheriff's Office reports, Logan, 17, and Randall Ashley, 20, were playing XBOX at about 12:34 a.m. this morning in their Sabal Harbour home in the 4800 block of Bookelia Circle. Logan Ashley picked up their deceased father's gun and attempted to disassemble it. He thought he removed the magazine from the firearm but did not clear its chamber. As he attempted to remove the slide, he depressed the trigger, the reports said.
The 9 mm round hit Logan Ashley's left leg. It exited the other side and entered Randall Ashley's right leg.
Emergency Medical Services officials responded and stabilized both brothers before transporting them to the hospital.

Glossary for Sternarchorhynchus retzeri
- Back-arc basin
- A depression in the sea floor that results from the collision of continental plates; the weight of the sinking plate causes the overlying plate to stretch and thin, causing a basin in the overlying plate. Sometimes, the Earth's crust in these basins stretches so much it cracks, allowing magma through from the mantle beneath. Hence, basins often contain active volcanoes and hydrothermal vents.

Troy Andes, R-Putnam, was first elected to the House of Delegates in 2006. Contact him at 304-340-3121.
If there's one thing we can glean from recent media coverage on the subject, it's that West Virginia has a meth problem. While this isn't new information, it seems that the success of our hard-working law enforcement community has again brought the issue to the forefront of policy discussions. Recent reports indicate that police are finding a greater number of meth labs this year — a fact that has drawn the ire of local legislators and newspaper editors alike. This has caused a few people in our community to cry out for new anti-drug laws and stricter penalties for meth abusers. Some have even proposed passing a prescription mandate for all cold and allergy medicine containing pseudoephedrine (PSE), an ingredient sometimes used in the manufacture of meth. But before legislators pass extreme restrictions on common cold medicine, it is important to look at the consequences of such a policy. If we lay out the facts, it becomes clear that a prescription mandate for pseudoephedrine will not solve West Virginia's meth problem. Instead it will penalize all law-abiding families who rely on affordable and convenient medicines to treat their colds and allergies.
As a state legislator, I am no stranger to our area's illegal drug problem. I have seen meth abuse spread across the state and more recently have witnessed the increase in prescription drug and heroin abuse in nearly every community. The state Legislature has fought to try to curb the abuse of these narcotics — implementing legislation that attempts to restrict their supply. The National Precursor Log Exchange (NPLEx) is one tool we've employed in order to stop illegal sales of pseudoephedrine, thus preventing its illegal diversion into meth. Since the program was implemented in January, it has already blocked the illegal sale of thousands of boxes of pseudoephedrine. The success of this system clearly indicates that some policies have proven more effective than others, but what is evident is that none have been able to truly turn the tide in the seemingly endless war on drugs.
Yet now, the public is being told there's a "silver bullet" in the fight against meth. Claims have been made that a prescription mandate for popular cold and allergy medicine will eliminate the costs to West Virginians associated with meth abuse. Opponents of affordable medication even go so far as to say it will eradicate meth from our communities. While I'm certainly an optimist, I also recognize when something is too good to be true.
Forcing honest West Virginians to see a doctor in order to get the cold and allergy medicine they rely on will not solve our state's meth problem. How could it? Prescription mandates have done nothing to prevent other forms of prescription drug abuse, which by all accounts are a much bigger problem throughout West Virginia. Moreover, penalizing law-abiding families will not prevent criminals from purchasing meth from local dealers who are often supplied by vast drug networks linked to Mexican cartels. Simply put, West Virginia's meth problem will persist — we'll still have to pay to put meth criminals in jail, we'll still have to pay to treat them for drug addiction, and we'll still have to take care of their children when they are deemed unfit to be parents. Claiming that a prescription mandate will solve these problems ignores the reality of this very complex problem.
Moreover, a prescription mandate will place a large and unfair burden on the honest, law-abiding West Virginians who rely on affordable treatment options. At a time when health care costs are through the roof and our entire health care system is up in arms, proponents of a prescription mandate want to force families to visit their doctor or visit the emergency room for basic cold and allergy medicine.
The fight to eradicate meth from West Virginia is a noble pursuit. Elected officials and law enforcement should continue to focus their efforts on finding solutions to this terrible social ill. Mandating costly prescriptions for common cold and allergy medicine containing pseudoephedrine, however, is not the right step. We need to have an honest dialogue regarding the complexities of this problem and come up with innovative solutions that address the real source. Otherwise we can expect meth, and all its associated costs, to stick around.

This was not so great. Something didn't quite go, I don't know if it was the sour cream or the lime. My blender also didn't get it as creamy as I think it needed to be.

Authorities say a former Newnan police officer has admitted to stealing money from a daycare while he was on duty.Zachery Anderson pled guilty on Monday to taking $245 from the All Stars Academy daycare while on duty last November. Newnan Police Chief Douglas Meadows said he's at a loss to explain why the 40-year-old veteran officer stole the money. Meadows said Anderson was with Newnan police for five years and before that he was with Cobb County police."It gives everybody a black eye in this profession, now just locally – everywhere," Meadows said.Meadows said Anderson was fired after admitting to internal affairs he stole the money from the Coweta County daycare. Anderson's wife, who worked at the daycare at the time of the theft, told authorities about the burglary. Anderson was sentenced to eight years' probation in a blind plea deal, where the judge -- not a jury -- sentenced him.
FOX 5 was unable to reach Anderson for comment.

Bumgarner short on birthday candles, long on talent
Giants' 23-year-old Game 2 starter has experienced a meteoric rise
Chatting quietly while munching on an ice-cream candy bar in the Giants clubhouse before a late-season game, Madison Bumgarner doesn't seem far removed from his teen years. Maybe it's because he's not.At age 23 as of August, Bumgarner already has a World Series ring from his rookie year and two full seasons as a top-rung Major League starter behind him. His baseball career has been on fast-forward pretty much since he left high school -- or, really, before then. Entering the 2012 postseason, the Giants are asking plenty of this left-hander who's always been on the right track. Tabbed for the Game 2 start against the Reds in the National League Division Series on Sunday, Bumgarner has become the Giants' No. 2 starter behind Matt Cain, thanks in part to Tim Lincecum's struggles, but also based on his own consistency over the course of the season. Maybe it's all happened quickly for the 6-foot-5 North Carolina native, maybe not. For Bumgarner, it's just the way it is, and he's enjoying the ride into October a second time.
"It doesn't seem like it's happened all that fast, but whether it has or it hasn't, I don't really have another way to judge it, so I wouldn't really know," Bumgarner said. "It's definitely fun, and it's what you play for. You try to be in the playoffs every year."Two years out of three isn't bad for Bumgarner, who stepped up into the national spotlight in the 2010 playoffs. Completely unfazed in demeanor and delivery but with clear competitive fire, he first pitched the clincher in the Division Series against the Braves, and then delivered a body blow to the Rangers in Game 5 of the World Series with eight shutout innings. It was after that NLDS game that Bumgarner remarked, "This is obviously the biggest game I've ever thrown. But in high school, throwing in the state championship game, at the time, that's a big game to a high school kid. I think that actually made a difference tonight." What made perfect sense as a point of reference for a young athlete, then just 21 years old, also serves as a glimpse of a young man who still isn't that far removed from his hometown of Hudson, N.C. That's where he was born and raised and still spends the offseason on a 38-acre spread -- room enough for horses and the 5-day-old bull calf he presented his wife, Ali, as a wedding gift in 2010. His calm, determined demeanor on the mound shows that Bumgarner comes from a place -- mentally, at least, if not geographically -- where things aren't all that complicated. You work hard at what you do, you focus on the job at hand and good things happen. (Having the frame of a Steve Carlton doesn't hurt, either.) "He's been humble, and I've always said he does things simple," says Jeff Parham, his high school coach at South Caldwell High. "He lives his life simple. He doesn't make it complex. He comes every day to work and he's just consistent with what he does, and that's why you know what you're going to get out of him." Says Bumgarner: "I think it's got a lot to do with the way you're brought up and the people who are put in your path to help you through life and through learning the game of baseball."

I ordered a Cooler Master 500+ Watt PSU from a shop that builds PCs to power a Radeon 7850 graphics card. The GX 550 is what I received.
I had previously used the PSU that came with an iball case. When the power went out and the apartment switched to generator power, the iball's PSU caused the generator power to become unstable and the power to the apartment switched on and off. After installing the CM GX550, I can now use my PC while under generator power without issue.

My old SMPS stopped working when I got this as an upgrade. It has got a big 120mm suction fan (from inside case to outside) but it is so silent it is very hard to tell if it is running. Startup is smooth and all Power Connector Cables though bulky, are well managed. It has a very high quality feel and finish with matt black, looks very good. It is 80+ Certified so it is equivalent to about 700 watts Non 80+ Units since there output is fluctuating whereas this will work at gauranteed 80+ or above efficiency at all given input power levels and demanded output power levels.

Two vaccines are routinely recommended during pregnancy:
In addition, if you're traveling abroad or you're at increased risk of certain infections, your health care provider may recommend other vaccines during pregnancy — such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal or pneumococcal vaccines.
Certain vaccines should generally be avoided during pregnancy, including:
If you're planning a pregnancy, talk to your health care provider about any vaccines you may need beforehand. Live vaccines should be given at least a month before conception.

I have tried everything to get this to work but it just doesn't seem possible.
This demo shows the same vector image displayed in different ways.
Please expand and reduce the browser width as that is important too.
Box 3 and 4 uses the <svg> tag but I want to be able to use the <svg> tag and it display like the two boxes on the left (and work at all browser widths like the two on the left).
I have messed around with the viewBox (which is the only difference between box 3 and box 4) but still no.
If you view the source then all should be clear.
All 4 images are created from exactly the same file. Box 2 was created using this in PHP:
<?php echo base64_encode(file_get_contents($file)); ?>

Apart from the malformed markup - stray div, end tag - and the fact I cannot see the fourth image (too large a viewbox value) they do seem to appear to be all the same size and obviously you could always set the SVG height and width in percentages. Maybe it was the browser you were using. Unless I'm missing something.

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Dirk Nowitzki scored 16 of his 27 points in the second half and also pulled down 13 rebounds, as Dallas won its eighth straight game and remained perfect against the Charlotte Bobcats with an 89-84 decision.
Caron Butler scored 22 and Jason Terry netted 13 of his 20 in the final quarter for the Mavericks, who are 12-0 all-time against the Bobcats.
The Mavericks, who held a 46-32 scoring margin in the second half, haven't lost since Feb. 16 at Oklahoma City.
Stephen Jackson totaled 20 points and seven rebounds for Charlotte, which wasted a 12-point lead in the third quarter and lost for the fourth time in five contests. Tyrus Thomas added 16 points and 12 boards in defeat.
It was Charlotte's first game since Bobcats owner Robert Johnson reached a definitive agreement to sell a majority interest of the club to Hall of Famer Michael Jordan.
Charlotte, which led 68-66 going into the fourth, shot just 5-of-20 in the last period
A technical free throw from Jackson gave Charlotte its last lead, 75-74, with 7:05 remaining. Terry then hit a pair of jumpers and Nowitzki added a bucket. Terry's three-pointer capped Dallas' 9-0 run for an 83-75 cushion with 4:43 to go.
The Bobcats eventually trimmed their deficit to three, at 87-84 on a Gerald Wallace free throw with 9.3 seconds left, but Nowitzki sealed the victory at the foul line.
Charlotte held a 28-24 edge after one quarter and scored 13 in a row during the second for a 53-41 cushion. Stephen Graham capped that flurry with a three-pointer.
Boris Diaw's layup represented the first points of the third for a 55-43 difference, but Dallas rallied to tie the game at 66 on a Butler jumper in the final minute of the quarter.
Charlotte has been held to under 100 points in every meeting against the Mavs. The Bobcats fell to the Mavericks, 98-97, in overtime on Dec. 12 in Dallas. The Mavericks are the lone NBA team the Bobcats have never beaten...Diaw had 15 points, Wallace 11 and Raymond Felton 10.

The Pine Tree Step-Across is more a mental challenge than a physical one. The climb is located just left of the inside corner that leads up to the sizeable pine tree growing out of the rock near the top of the wall. Climb up this face until you reach a large overhaning block just left of the pine tree. Surmount the block using a mantel. Once on the block lean into the blank face and step across the abyss to a small landing pad for your foot. While stepping reach with your left hand for a hidden hold. Continue up to the top of the wall.

There's no question that any information is better than none at all. But are fee-based forecasting services worth the cost? Shawn Mecchella thinks they are. This Florida kingfish pro competes in 12 tournaments each year and fun-fishes 35 days more. He took home Southern Kingfish Association angler of the year and national championship trophies in 2002 and 2008, along with the FLW top angler award in 2008.
"We've been getting an annual plan from Roffer's since 2002," he says. "With the fuel and time savings it provides, it's definitely reasonably priced. It's accurate and updated quicker and more often, and it's convenient to use. I count it as a pre-fish day, since it allows me to look at temperatures and pinpoint clean water beforehand. It saves time and makes the day more fun."
When you consider all the costs and preparation necessary to be successful in offshore fishing, that sounds like money well spent.

Consistent Correia vital to rotation
Hopes to take reliever mentality into starting role
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Aug. 14, 2007, could forever remain the night that changed Kevin Correia's destiny as a Giant.Correia was the Giants' starter against the Atlanta Braves, but that didn't mean he was a starting pitcher. Having relieved in his 99 previous appearances, he received the assignment because San Francisco's pitching staff was fried from a stretch of 15 games in 14 days, including a doubleheader the night before. But the 4 1/3 shutout innings Correia threw made him look like a starting pitcher. And he fit the part more and more with each successive outing. Now the Giants need Correia to be a fully legitimate starter. Noah Lowry, the team's leading winner in two of the past three seasons, is expected to miss at least April after undergoing forearm surgery, which ostensibly erodes the club's plan to rely on the rotation. Correia, formerly the leading candidate for the rotation's No. 5 spot, will be counted on for consistency in a more central role. "I want the team to feel like when I go out there, we have a good chance of winning that game," Correia said Saturday before the Giants tied the Los Angeles Angels, 6-6. Referring to his rotation mates -- former Cy Young Award winner Barry Zito and promising right-handers Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum -- Correia added, "We have a lot of guys who are No. 1s on this team. If I can pitch as well as these guys, I don't think there's a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 on this team. I think we're all really good pitchers. I want to be one of the better pitchers in the league, not on the team." Correia's Cactus League performances have provided encouragement. After pitching three one-hit shutout innings against Texas last Monday, he allowed one run and two hits in four innings Friday against Oakland. "I'm as confident in my pitching as I've ever been in my career," Correia said. His assurance also stems from his finish last year, when he went 3-1 with a 2.54 ERA and a .222 opponents' batting average in eight starts. "I don't see any reason why I can't continue that into this year," Correia said. "The sky's the limit, I think." Correia, 27, began soaring in that Braves game. He allowed just four hits, including a fourth-inning double by Brian McCann that fell after Barry Bonds simply stopped pursuing the ball. The right-hander threw 45 strikes in 66 pitches and left with a 3-0 lead before the Giants ultimately lost, 5-4. Correia started 19 games from 2003-05 but never pitched quite well enough to establish himself in the rotation. Asked if he thought the Atlanta game represented his last shot to start, he said, "I didn't even know if it was a shot. I kind of took it as, I'll go out there and see if I can get a few innings for the team that day. I didn't know if I could go more than one or two innings. But right when I got out there, I felt more comfortable. The role wasn't an odd thing to me, even though I hadn't done it for a couple of years." Correia relieved twice following the Atlanta game and joined the rotation full-time after Russ Ortiz injured his elbow Aug. 20 at Florida. Sustaining his excellence, Correia allowed two runs or fewer in every start until his final outing, when he surrendered five runs in six innings Sept. 28 at Los Angeles. He won his first three starts after replacing Ortiz, establishing the basis for the Giants' 6-2 record in his starts. "My main focus was to throw strikes early [in the count] and try to get quick outs so I could get some innings in there," said Correia, who has begun mixing his curveball more liberally with his fastball-slider-changeup combination. "That attitude really worked for me, rather than in the past, when I would have tried to get a few more strikeouts and overpower some people." This represented a significant turnaround for Correia, who previously was 5-5 with a 5.26 ERA as a starter. He enjoyed instant success as a rookie in 2003, going 3-1 with a 3.93 ERA in seven starts, but he was bolstered by a talented Giants team that won 100 games that season.

Kingsley students enjoy USA exchange
7:40am Tuesday 27th November 2012 in Local
EIGHT students from Kingsley College have returned from a two week exchange visit to the United States, while super storm Sandy battered the east coast of America.
The sixth formers were hosted by families in North Carolina and have spent the last six months getting to know their hosts using Skype before finally meeting them at the end of October.
The students participated in lessons at Independence High School in the city of Charlotte, as well as having the opportunity to visit attractions.
The exchange programme, which is now in its third year, will continue in March 2013, when Kingsley will host the return visit of nine American students who will join the school for two weeks.
Participating student Megan Randle said: "It was an absolutely amazing trip, we had a wonderful time and are so grateful to the host families.
"We're really looking forward to welcoming them to England."
Teacher Mark Atherton said: "The students were fantastic. They were not only great ambassadors for the school, but for the UK in general.
"It was wonderful to see how they adjusted to US life and to see friendships being created that I hope will last a lifetime."

Police said two drunk drivers crashed into an Easley home Thursday morning.
Easley police said the wreck happened at a home on Davis Street about 1 a.m., when officers found one car crashed into a home. The homeowner told FOX Carolina the second car rear-ended the first car.
When officers spoke with the drivers, they both admitted to having a few beers, according to the police report.
The first driver was 21-year-old James Nichols, whose blood alcohol level registered 0.2, and the second driver was 21-year-old Elizabeth Best, whose level was 0.23., according to the police report.
"(Best) said he said to follow him, and that's what she did. He went into the
basement, and she was going into the basement with him, I guess," he said.
Both drivers were arrested and charged with driving under the influence.

When a Prenuptial Agreement Might Be Right for Everyone
Many people hear the words "prenuptial agreement" and react negatively, but in some cases a "prenup" might be the best way to protect a newly-blended family.
Say your new spouse will bring two children to the marriage along with significant assets. A prenuptial agreement can ensure that her estate is left behind for her children from her previous relationship. A prenuptial agreement can also take precedence over any unforeseen changes to family law. In that case, a "prenup" could be the best way to ensure both of your intentions are carried out in the event things don't turn out the way you hope. Family planning is best done during good times, not during the stress and strain of a breakup or divorce. While a "prenup" may not be right for everyone, in some cases it could be the best way to protect the children of blended families from events outside their control.

Hi Deanna,
Your list is pretty much what I've found the sizes to be - but I've been having trouble finding anything bigger than the 35mm x 120mm that isn't treated pine. I've only been to Bunnings, but I wondered whether it was because I'm in a regional area and there is less choice. I've always had a too-energetic 3yo with me to stop and get help from the staff, but I'm planning to do that soon.
When I made a bigger kids picnic table, I was able to use the 35mm x 90mm, but couldn't find anything that seemed equivalent to the 2x6s needed for the top and so had to use 19mm x 140mm. It does look a little out of proportion, but has so far survived being climbed on and jumped off.
Hi Vanessa,
Thanks for confirming what I had listed is what you found. I must be lucky because I can get up to the 35mm x 240mm at Bunnings here in Adelaide, I have three Bunnings that I can go to around me to get my wood one of them has better a selection than the other 2, I would love to have access to stores the other guys on this site have access to.
I have two kids and I hear what you are saying about going to get wood with them in tow, I wait until I can go by myself so I can focus on what it is that I need.
Glad your picnic table worked out well. I am just finishing up with the Farmhouse bed (double) for my daughter. I am really pleased with how it is coming out, I even got out my router and gave that a go. Next on my building list is a workbench and then onto bunk bed for my son.
Thanks for this list, Deanna! I've been wanting to start on a few projects from Ana's plans, but have been a bit nervous about converting the dimensions. Maybe I can make a start on the calculations now. Until I moved last week, I've been living too far from a Bunnings to be able to just pop in and look at the dimensions of timber they sell. (I'm a kiwi, but I live in QLD)
That doesn't look to different from what you can get over here in Germany, too.
Here is a neat little list of the actual lumer sizes. Maybe that helps, too.
Ahaaa!!! I'm another kiwi, in the south island... But living too far away from Bunnings, (have mitre 10 and stuff like that, but priceyyyyyyy!) am off to a town that has bunnings in next few weeks, hopefully Ana has done the craft table plans by then, so I can get my stuff from there, since I'll be taking the truck over with me anyway!
WOHOOOO Thanks for this guys :)
Thank-you Deana - this is a big help! :) I was able to finish my first project successfully but it was a little difficult converting back and forth between inches and mm taking into account the fact that in Australia 19mm is actually 19mm but 1 inch is not 1 inch when it comes to lumber :)
I agree AHUVAS
I was able to finish my first project successfully but it was a little
difficult converting back and forth between inches and mm taking into
account the fact that in Australia 19mm is actually 19mm but 1 inch is
not 1 inch when it comes to lumber :)
What I do is when I get my timber home from that point I then measure everything out in inches that way I can check against Anas plans, some need tweeking others you can get away with. Its all a challenge but once you can look at the fabulous piece of furniture you made it makes it all worth while.
Have you had trouble finding sizes in Germany that were close to the plans on here? For example, I can't find any equivalents for 2x4- I know it's 38mmx89mm, but both stores I looked at didn't carry that size.

Great to hear others are confused when buying timber in metric. i live in Ireland and I converted everything into mm and went to the diy stores to find that we dont seem to do any of the sizes i needed. i went to a lumber merchant, but it worked out very expensive ($370) for the lumber alone, so I am now hunting to see how i can tweek the plans for the wood i can find. I want to make the farmouse bed in a twin size, but as this is my 1st creation, I think I have bitten off more than i can chew.
I'm an American living in England, and the metric system is killing me! lol And I can't find the size selection I need here either. If anyone happens to know of a good lumber store here, please let me know!
Hi all, fellow Australian here.
Deanna, I hate to tell you this but your measurements are off.
In woodworking, when you measure you do so with unplaned, untreated wood. When it's treated (as most often the wood we buy is) then this size shrinks somewhat, usually by about a half inch. [Ana does mention this on this site too]. So your following measurements are actually:
1x3 = 19mm x 38mm
2x3 = 38mm x 64mm
2x2 = 38mm x 38mm
3x3 = 64mm x 64mm
4 x 4 = 89mm x 89mm
If you need further assistance with measurements, you can find easy reference in any carpentry book in Dymocks (now that Borders has closed) or library.
However, all Australian carpentry tools are two sided: one with the metric system (ours) and the other with the imperial (theirs) so, really, you can use the American plans without issue. Bunnings cut to both systems too.
Hope this helps.
Sorry, the first measurement should be 1x3 = 19mm x 64mm.
My apologies.
I visited two local home improvement store here in Germany and wrote down all the wood sizes available. At one store, I could get 18mm, 24mm, and 28mm lengths and only 38x58. At the other store I could get 17mm, 22mm, only 34x54. Also the widths seem to have no consistency- for example, there's 18x35, 18x43, 18x95, but then 28x45, 28x146, 38x58. I built the farmhouse bed but made several modifications. Buying wood has been quite complicated for this new woodworker. Could anyone explain why the odd sizes? I see there's some Germany folks on here- I went to Toom and Praktiker.
I noticed the same thing in Hornbach. From what I understand, the odd sizes are because wood is used for small framing or projects; concrete blocks and cement are used to frame buildings instead of wood like in the US. Although I was able to get 44x94mm in 2.5 meter lengths - almost exactly an American 2x4 though very expensive. The 2x4s and 1x#'s were in the furniture wood section. The closest to a 2x4 in use and price here is something like a 40x60mm.
Hi Sorby thanks for your comments.
In my post I was referring to what you would actually buy in store at Bunnings. Bunnings for example do not have it in store at 38mm they have it as 35mm. As Bunnings is the most popular place to purchase wood this is why I referenced it like I did as to avoid confusion for other Aussies.
My posts was showing if I walked into the store now and had to buy wood I would by a 35 x 90 for a 2x4. When you state a 1x3 = 19mm x 64mm you cant go into Bunnings and buy that, you buy a 19mm x 70mm because that is what they sell.
There are many references online to show the actual sizing this link is great http://mistupid.com/homeimpr/lumber.htm so no need to buy books.
I have successfully build a number of large furniture items based on Ana's plans with the timber sizes I mentioned.
omg this is very confusing, this is my first go so im doing all of my homework, i think i might stick with inches for now until i get to know the wood.
Okay i think i might have worked it out, please correct me.
this is my cut list.......
2-1x12@35 1/4" = 19mm X 290mm X 890mm
1-1x12@17" = 19mm X 290mm X 430mm
1-1X12@15 1/2" = 19mm X 290 X 390
3-1x10@15 1/2" = 19mm X 240mm X 390mm
1-1x2@15 1/2" =19mm X 38mm X 390mm
2-1x8@32 3/4" = 19mm X 190mm X 830mm
17"x36" ply wood = 430mm X 910mm
Just found your website and I am actually very happy about it becasue the content is very interesting. Have learned a couple of new things from this article which definitely will come in handy in the feature so thank you for that.

Based on my recent experience, I picked up some 2x4's for the fancy X table from the local Hornbach (German version of Home Depot). They were sized 44mmx94mm and 2500mm long. Just slightly larger than an American 2"x4"x8' but with the same ratios. The perfect size for a good stout table, but they were very expensive! $12USD per piece!
I gave up al together trying to convert the imperial to metric as I found that most of the time here in South Africa you cannot get the exact size of wood if you do the conversion. I use a CAD application to create the 3D model and from there generate the drawings. I use the plans as more of an idea and make my own plans according to that.

SFPD has been quietly seeking video footage of new bars since losing a public fight over the issue
After public outrage stopped the San Francisco Police Department from instituting controversial — and unconstitutional, say civil libertarians — new video surveillance requirements in bars and clubs more than two years ago, the department quietly began inserting that same requirement into new liquor licenses, a move met with concern at City Hall last week.
In late 2010, the SFPD proposed a draconian set of new security requirements for drinking establishments in the city, including requirements that they do video surveillance and take an image of all patrons' identification cards and make them available to police upon request, without a warrant or any other controls (see "Going to a club — or boarding an airplane?," 12/7/10).
That proposal ran into a wall of opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union, California Music and Culture Association, progressives on the Board of Supervisors, and others, who said such a blanket policy violates privacy protections in the California Constitution. The Entertainment Commission held a hearing on the proposal in April of 2011 and voted unanimously to reject the proposals.
At that point, they seemed to just disappear, but they didn't. Instead, SFPD internally decided at that time to begin asking the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to insert a video surveillance requirement in most new liquor licenses in San Francisco, which escaped public notice until Sup. Scott Wiener raised the issue at the April 2 Board of Supervisors meeting.
"If you have an establishment that perhaps has a track record of bad things happening, that's one thing. But absent that, I don't believe that this is justified," Wiener said as he voted against the requirement in a pair of new liquor licenses. Although Wiener was alone in opposing those applications, Sup. David Campos said he shared Wiener's concern and the pair called an upcoming hearing on the new policy.
Two days later, at the board's Neighborhood Services and Safety Committee meeting, Wiener again raised the issue and sought to have the new requirement removed from a pair of proposed liquor licenses: Cesar's Ballroom on 26th and 3rd streets, the latest project of veteran local club owner Cesar Ascarrunz, and Nosa Ria, a market in Hayes Valley that will import gourmet food and wine from Spain.
"It's the exact opposite of some kind of rowdy bar or nightclub where people are going in and getting drunk and really bad things are happening," Wiener said of Nosa Ria, for which he persuaded fellow Sups. Eric Mar and Norman Yee to vote to remove the video surveillance condition before approving the application.
That condition stated: "The petitioner shall utilize electronic surveillance and recording equipment that is able to view the outside of the premises, including all entrances and exits, and that is actively monitored and recorded. The electronic surveillance shall be utilized during operating hours. Said electronic recording shall be kept at least 30 days and shall be made available to the Department or Police Department upon demand."
Mar said he agreed with Wiener that "a broad discussion of electronic surveillance requirements would be important for this committee," but Mar then voted against removing that condition from the Cesar's Ballroom application, saying, "I think we need surveillance in certain spots on a case-by-case basis, and I think this is an area that needs surveillance."
What is the mechanism behind this irony? Is it like the phenomenon of Democrats voting for imperialist wars?

I'm sure my location is recorded on CCTV many times each day. My cell phone effectively triangulates my location constantly, my car has GPS which does the same, and my Clipper card reveals my use of transit. I often have to show ID to enter office buildings, while my own work ID records when I am at the office, and when not.
Ask me why I don't care. Answer: I am not doing anything bad, wrong or suspicious.
Your an idiot, maybe a cop, and certainly you do things that can be said to be wrong everyday. just need the right agency to watch you. Your body is natural, do you run around naked just because you have nothing to be ashamed of. Your an idiot. An UN-AMERICAN as can be. Privacy is a right. Its not attached anymore to doing right than gun rights are attached to being a hunter. Its a right in the USA.
I wouldn't mind some random anal probes. I'd be the first to bend over in the name of state security. If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that as a personal activity.
My problem is that anon seems to not only fantasize about his own anal penetration, but that of all his fellow(?) citizens. That crosses the line.
Big Troll Trope #15 is that non-criminals have nothing to fear from police attention. Nobody in their right mind believes that.
I've never had a problem with LE.
for taking the lead on this.
I question the stance that somebody has an expectation of privacy if they go into a gay bar and get outed. But be that as it may, I don't think that this is necessarily even a question of whether the SFPD "can" do this, but whether it "should." Big Brother creep is very troubling to me, and I find the argument "oh, well if you aren't doing anything wrong then you have nothing to worry about" to be the weakest of sauces.
I agree, and there's another sneaky aspect to this that I might not have emphasized strongly enough in my article, but which I will in a follow-up blog post that I'm working on now. The SFPD is requiring businesses to keep footage of the street scenes outside their stores and to make that immediately available for any reason and with no warrant. That's a huge departure from the safeguards attached to the 71 crime cameras that the city installed, and a major expansion of the SFPD's ability to spy on us without any judicial or regulatory oversight.
investigation into activities that happen right outside the store?
...be able to require a store to spy on its customers and give police unfettered access to footage with no court oversight? That's the issue here. Businesses already have the right to use video surveillance and cooperate with police if they choose. But not everyone shares your faith in the police to always do the right thing and safeguard civil liberties. Some of us know our history.
you do not think they should co-operate with a police inquiry into crimes in and around their premises?
Is that it?
Yes, I think Airbnb should follow the law and charge required taxes on the economic transactions it conducts, which is certainly less invasive than expecting each host to be responsible for collecting and paying that tax. And yes, I think businesses should cooperate with lawful criminal investigations, which should in no way be hindered by basic Fourth Amendment protections (such as getting a warrant when necessary) or guidelines for requesting surveillance video that the city established in 2005. What does that have to do with requiring more businesses to conduct video surveillance on their customers and surroundings and turn it over to police with no rules or guidelines?
camera's everywhere and you would be filmed dozens of times a day.
Many criminals have been caught that way, including rapists and murderers, and there is little complaint about it from the ordinary innocent person - indeed, it makes them feel safer.
I'm sorry that you do not like the argument but it really is true that I do not fear being "spied" upon because I know I am doing no wrong. I cannot say that for others and so do want them spied upon.
Citizens of London don't have a constitutional right to privacy like we have in California. And England wasn't founded on principles of personal liberty and a wariness of government power like the US was, by people like Benjamin Franklin, who said, "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
After all, you think the constitutional right to bear arms is questionable, right?
Hi, thanks for sharing.
Many criminals have been caught every day. Security cameras and surveillance system has improved our security. Actually Surveillance is the monitoring of the behavior, activities, or other changing information. These can even allow the Remote viewing of your business from anywhere.
