cemet mix
:mad: Can anyone help me why is it my cemet mix won't go hard ...........
What were the exact ingredients you used and
how much of each?
Or did you use premix in a bag and just added water.
I know from past experiences with the quick set premix concrete
that if you use to much water it takes for ever to dry.

Solar car team sees limited use for public
Imagine owning a $60,000 car with no air conditioning or stereo that must be driven from a reclining position and would be demolished by a hail storm. And forget about driving at night.
These are the limitations of SunTiger VI and other solar cars. MU will soon be racing in the North American Solar Challenge, a 2,500 mile cross-country solar car race that begins on Sunday. Although team members learn useful skills through the experience, they say there isn't much of a future in solar cars.
Stephens blends fashion, theater in new major
For as long as Ashley Harrison can remember, she has had a needle and thread in hand. At age 5, Harrison began creating new outfits from her wardrobe and designing costumes for her first client — her cat.
Seventeen years later, Harrison is starting her senior year at Stephens College as a theatrical costume design major, a new degree program the school will offer this fall. Harrison switched to the major from her previous focus on fashion design and product development.
Farmers wait for rain relief
Gary Becker, a Sydenstricker Implement salesman, makes farm visits at least twice a week. Lately, he's been hearing the same frustrations from farmers worried about crops due to lack of rainfall during the past few weeks.
Several counties in southeast Missouri received much-needed rain Monday and Tuesday from the remains of Hurricane Dennis. But the Columbia area is still waiting for a shot of relief, and there isn't any in sight.
Group aids Cuba, plans fundraiser
During its two-week caravan across the country, Pastors for Peace hopes to collect 200 tons of humanitarian aid for Cubans affected by the United States' embargo.
The group, which makes a stop in Columbia today, is focusing its effort on supplies for people with special needs, such as the blind.
Eyes on the road
Columbia police Officer Curtis Perkins prides himself on being an observer of small things. As he drives on his nightly shift, his eyes dart from one side of the roadway to the other. The car in front of his is gradually increasing its speed; another to the right is drifting toward the shoulder. It's only a matter of time before he spots what he's looking for.
"That car just touched the center line," Perkins says, mostly to himself, as he follows a black 2001 Honda Civic down Providence Road about an hour after midnight on Saturday. "There it goes again," he says as the car weaves briefly into the outside lane. He waits until the car reaches a well-lit area, then he turns on the blue lights and pulls the driver over.
City Council seeks public input on plans before Nov. election
The City Council is seeking the public's opinion on plans to improve Columbia's safety, transportation and parks.
Public input sessions are scheduled for today at the Shepard Elementary School gym from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. and Thursday at the Smithton Middle School cafeteria from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The sessions are sponsored by the city.
DNR asks for dismissal of bridge suit
JEFFERSON CITY — The Department of Natural Resources has asked a judge to bar Attorney General Jay Nixon from suing the agency in a dispute over an old Katy Railroad bridge.
In asking that Nixon's lawsuit be dismissed, an attorney for the department contends Nixon has a conflict of interest and lacks the authority to seek an injunction against the agency's decision to waive its right to use the bridge as part of the Katy Trail State Park.
A story on page 8A Friday about the London bombings gave an incorrect spelling for Stephens spokeswoman Sarah Berghorn's last name. Also, the story gave an incorrect major for a Stephens student studying in London; the student is majoring in law, philosophy and rhetoric.
Cause of death still unknown
A day after MU football player Aaron O'Neal died after a voluntary workout, there were still more questions than answers.
O'Neal's cause of death was not released early Wednesday evening at a press conference with coach Gary Pinkel and athletic media relations director Chad Moller.
Boone County Medical Examiner Valerie Rao, who conducted the autopsy, was expected to speak at a press conference, but did not attend. Moller cited conflicting schedules for Rao's absence.
But Rao, in an off-camera interview with KOMU-TV, said she was told in a phone call a half-hour before the 5:30 p.m. press conference to stay away. She said she had been preparing for the appearance all day and had finished her work by 4:30 p.m. in order to attend.
"I was embarrassed. Now I look like the bad person," she told KOMU. "It's going to come out."
Asked whether Rao had been called and told to stay away, Moller said a call placed to Rao was about scheduling.
The Associated Press reported that autopsy results would be available today, but Dori Burke, forensic investigator for the Boone County Medical Examiner's Office, said that autopsy results will not be available for some time, pending further testing.
A timeline of Tuesday's practice was also unavailable at Wednesday's press conference. According to Pinkel, the athletic department is still gathering information about the incident and is stressing accuracy and respect for the family.
Pinkel described the players as "crushed."
"When you have players in your program, they're like children," Pinkel said through tears. "I feel like I lost one of my children."
This is the second time Pinkel has dealt with the death of one of his players. In 1995, while coaching for the University of Toledo, a walk-on player died during a weight-lifting practice, Pinkel said. It was later discovered that the player suffered from a heart condition.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association requires all collegiate athletes to undergo routine medical examinations prior to practice. Pinkel noted that all of his players had been cleared to practice, but it was unclear whether those examinations had been conducted yet this season.
According to a statement issued Wednesday by MU, "O'Neal completed the workout and returned to the game day locker room, where he became uncommunicative. The training staff assisted him and called 911."
But Jenna Isaacson, a Columbia Daily Tribune photographer who attended the practice, reported O'Neal collapsed while coaches spoke to the 12 players at the end of practice. O'Neal was helped off the field and into the locker room, she said.
Pat Ivey, director of strength and conditioning at MU, ran the voluntary practice at Faurot Field along with seven other members of the MU athletic training and conditioning staff.
"I believe so strongly in my coaches and trainers," Pinkel said. "They are exceptional at what they do."
All strength and conditioning coaches are required by the NCAA to be certified in CPR and first aid. Although members from the football coaching staff are banned from these practices, an athletic trainer must be present.
Voluntary practices, which according to Pinkel began June 6, prepare players for the upcoming season.
Sam Fleury, assistant media relations, said MU's voluntary practices consisted of running, sprints and agility drills. No pads or helmets are worn.
Lorenzo Williams, Missouri defensive lineman, said that the coaches do not pressure players to attend but that the players put pressure on themselves.
"It's not strongly encouraged at all. They set it up for us. We make it a point for ourselves to be there. I mean, we want to get better as a team so this is what we need to do," he said.
The death of several college football players in the summer of 2001 led the NCAA to re-examine regulations regarding off-season practices. In order for the practice to be considered voluntary it must be requested by the players. Athletes can neither be rewarded nor penalized for practice attendance.
Pinkel received word of O'Neal's death while on vacation with his wife in Las Vegas. He had requested his staff to give him two days without interruption. Upon return to the hotel he found six messages on his cell phone. "I looked at my wife and said 'Something's wrong,'" he said.
Pinkel returned just after midnight Wednesday to St. Louis and later visited with O'Neal's father.
He is discussing memorial arrangements in Columbia with the family and team. Voluntary practices have been suspended indefinitely.
MU is providing counseling services to players as well as accommodations for O'Neal's family when they travel to Columbia.
"I just want my guys to hang tight, embrace one another and help each other," Pinkel said.
A national study conducted by the University of North Carolina and sponsored by the NCAA found that in 2004 nine football players died in or after practice - including one college athlete after a voluntary workout.
"It's happened one too many times as far as I'm concerned," Pinkel said.
Missourian reporters Leslie Parker, Jennifer Price, Kristin Kellogg, Thomas Lundby, Steve Cusumano and Chris McCrary contributed to this article.

Columbia's Commission on Cultural Affairs met Monday to approve final recommendations for funding art projects in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1.
Sixteen groups turned in requests for funding, totaling $127,180. Although the commission has increased its funding from last year by 2 percent, they were unable to meet the groups' requests. The board plans to give out just under $76,000 this year to local groups and organizations.
City health costs soar
City Manager Ray Beck recommended a salary and benefits package for city employees that includes a 20 percent increase in the cost of health insurance before turning to a discussion of proposed tax increases at the City Council's Monday night work session.
"This is the biggest hit since I have been city manager," Beck said about the increased cost to the city and employees.

Inmates' education takes a cut
Inmates at several maximum security prisons can no longer participate in education classes or substance abuse treatment due to recent budget cuts.
The Department of Corrections has closed education programs at three of the state's five maximum-security prisons — Cameron, Potosi and Jefferson City — and eliminated the substance abuse treatment program in the Jefferson City prison, the only program of its kind at a maximum-security facility. The programs being eliminated served approximately 657 inmates at those three prisons in fiscal 2005.
Task Force 1 heads home after Dennis
Missouri Task Force 1, an urban search and rescue team, is returning to Boone County early after Hurricane Dennis left minimal damage and no deaths when it hit the Gulf Coast over the weekend.
The task force received deployment orders Friday and left at 11:15 a.m. Saturday for Meridian, Miss., said Boone County Fire Protection District Captain Gale Blomenkamp. They were given orders Sunday to move to Hattiesburg, Miss. On Monday at 1 p.m., the task force receive demobilization orders and expects to return by noon today.
Nursing homes guide revised, tested locally

Looking for a job you really like and feel good about? Want to work in a compassionate and friendly environment? Then consider applying for a position with the Tri-County Humane Society. If you enjoy working with animals and people, this could be a job for you. If you're a student, TCHS participates in most local work-study programs and has flexible scheduling as your class schedule changes.
Full time positions have a benefit package that contain, vacation, sick leave, wellness time, personal days, health insurance, and much more. The biggest benefit of all is knowing you have made a difference in the lives of many animals and people at the end of your work day. Who can put a price on that?
We continually collect applications for the basic part time shelter worker position and only contact people when there is a job opening.
Employment Application
Volunteers are essential to everything we do. Shelter volunteers as young as 10 years can volunteer alongside an adult companion or as young as 14 years on their own to provide hands-on animal care such as grooming, exercising, and keeping the animals company while they wait for their new homes, in addition to kennel cleaning, general housekeeping and assisting customers. Help is also needed beyond the doors of the shelter. Some other volunteer opportunities include off-site adoption events, photography and data entry for our website, yard work, building maintenance, newsletter mailings, fundraising events, grooming, humane education and pet visits at schools and daycares, senior care pet therapy visits, veterinary medicine, and the Board of Directors. Wherever your talents lie, TCHS would welcome your involvement!
One of our newest programs is for fostering cat/kittens until room opens up at the shelter. That would involve fostering the cats/kittens during peak periods (Summer to Fall) and returning them in Jan/Feb when there aren't as many cats up for adoption. We are also looking for people to be put on a list for situations where someone is being called to active military duty and can't find anyone to take care of their pet while they are gone.
We are also looking for homes to foster animals in disaster situations when people are without a place to stay such as if their house burns or they are evacuated for other reasons.
It's not for the money,
it's not for the fame
And it's not for any personal gain.
It's for the love of fellow man,
It's just to lend a helping hand.
It's just to give the tithe of self.
That's something you can't
but with wealth.
It's not the medals worn with pride.
It's just for that feeling deep inside.
It's that reward
down in your heart.
It's that feeling that you've been a part
Of helping others far and near,
That makes you a VOLUNTEER.
Volunteers Needed to Gift Wrap!
Get into the true holiday spirit by giving your time to help pets in need! The Tri-County Humane Society's gift wrapping booth is back for another year at Crossroads Center near Target, and we need all the help we can get! We will be wrapping gifts during mall hours every day from Black Friday through Christmas Eve. Round up a group of friends, sign up the entire family, or fill in some of the shifts that need just one more set of hands and make some new friends! This is one of the few volunteer opportunities that you don't need to currently volunteer at the shelter to be able to help out. However, anyone under 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult to volunteer.
Signing up is easy! Just click below.

Des Plaines school employee accused of stealing registration fees
A Des Plaines-area school employee is free on bond after being charged in connection with the theft of roughly $2,000 in school registration fees, Cook County authorities said.
Marisol Sukhu, 40, had been employed as an administrative assistant at Stevenson School, at 9000 Capitol Drive in an unincorporated Cook County area near Des Plaines.
Sukhu is accused of stealing – during a five-month period between December of last year and April -- about $2,000 in registration fees paid by parents to the school, Cook County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Sophia Ansari said.
According to East Maine School District 63 Superintendent Scott Clay, Sukhu pocketed parents' cash payments for registration while failing to send their completed registration form to the district. A school employee noticed the missing money and contacted the school principal, Clay said. The district launched its own investigation, Clay said, and notified sheriff's police.
District officials confronted Sukhu about the missing money about midway through the investigation, Clay said. At that time, she returned about $1,200, Clay said.
"She said she had borrowed it and intended to pay it back," Clay said.
Sukhu had been employed at the school for about a year, Clay said. She was at first suspended by the district, but then resigned, he added.
Sukhu, a Des Plaines resident, was charged with one felony count of theft, Ansari said. She was released on her own recognizance after receiving an I-bond in court on May 8, Ansari said, and is expected to appear in court again on June 10 in Skokie.
Sukhu could be reached for comment.

Nokia design chief ayes tablet plan
They had a tablet. I'm holding it right now, though it's not switched on... granted the n810 is a little smaller than the average these days but, when it came out, it was a breath of fresh air.
God in heaven. Nokia, you wasted so much talent and money developing a tablet line that would have put you ahead of EVERYONE by now, if only you'd actually stuck at it but no, you had to can it just when you'd got to the point where it was about to pay off. And then you did it again. And you keep doing it, every time something new cones along you get cold feet and run off to carry out the worst possible alternative.
Anyone who says Elop has detroyed Nokia is only half right. He's simply carrying on Nokia's grand tradition of self-sabotage and moronic decision-making.

Orv, have you considered that it's actually the island sinking? Atolls have a tendency to do that over the long term when they're prevented from acquiring new material - as they are when inhabited by humans in anything other than a very primitive existence. Human habitation erodes existing land prevents new material from being deposited on the island, which would be a problem even if sea levels were static.

Re: Dredging for a Scare story....
C J Bill, actually it probably isn't. We can't say whether it's unprecedented because we only started detailed measurements of atmospheric CO2 within the last century, and only reliably wide-spread and detailed measurements within the last 60 or so years. Prior "measurements" are taken from ice cores and other proxies, and have a ridiculously low resolution on the measure of, at minimum, a decade and up to centuries between data points. They show fairly big changes but what they don't show is the noise. We could just be measuring noise and thinking it's significant.
Of course there's the inconvenient fact that temperatures do not correlate with CO2 levels at all now. They appeared to for a while, but not any more.

The judge said that the police couldn't get a warrant for the man's encryption keys because they had no reasonable suspicion; as a result, they would be forcing a breach of the fifth amendment in the same way that they would by forcing him to speak to them.
Similar, lesser protections did exist here until RIPA and its related laws came along. The police had to have reasonable suspicion and they had to convince a judge before they could get a warrant. They couldn't just say "we think we can find evidence". They had to prove it.
You're claiming that I was disputing this, when I was not: your position has been consistently that it's justifiably illegal to withhold encryption keys FULL STOP, that the fact that it's illegal to refuse to hand over encryption keys is a good thing in itself. The issue of warrants only came up when your earlier argument was revealed to be a pile of shite.
You argued that it's right that the police have uncontested right of access to encryption keys and that the law as it stands was good. I and others showed you that it was an unjust law in its intent. You then argued that you disagreed with RIPA in its current form and that the police should have warrant powers to get access to encryption keys. I showed you that they already had those powers prior to RIPA. Your argument now seems to be that I was arguing against the concept of warrants, which I was not and never have. I was arguing against your original contention that the police should be able to compel me to hand over encryption keys purely on their say so. You keep contradicting yourself.
And now you accuse me of putting words in your mouth. I would have trouble getting them past your foot.
Re: Re: Re: Re: What the floorumdrick?
The police could already get your encryption password with a warrant you blithering idiot. They had to have reasonable suspicion that it would provide them with firm evidence of a crime and they had to convince a judge that their suspicion was reasonable and not just a fishing expedition. Faced with that warrant you would then have to either hand over the keys or be held in contempt of court.
What you keep defending, however much you claim otherwise, is warrantless seizure of private property without anything other than vague belief that it might provide evidence.
Re: Re: What the floorumdrick?
The problem is the support for that principle itself. It's the equivalent of being forced to allow the police into our home at any time of day or night and it's been a principle of English law (can't speak for Scottish law) that the police or whichever authority happens to be around can't simply enter your property without your explicit permission unless they have a warrant from a judge.
The "principle" you support leads inevitably to travesties like RIPA *by its nature*, as it overrides a fundamental aspect of the common law.
Re: Re: Re: The British way of thinking
First: I said that the law requiring we hand over encryption keys on their say-so is a power grab, not "all law".
Second: Yes there's a need to rationalise the law regarding such things. You know what rationalising means? It means streamlining, removing cruft, scaling back. Pruning. It certainly doesn't mean implementing a series of badly written, overbroad pieces of legislation that are routinely used to justify bin diving by local authorities, have no legal merit and go against the very concept of a free and democratic nation.
Third: I'm an electrician, I wouldn't know hostile takeovers if they, ah-heh, took over my tools. You're assuming what? That I share your sexual preferences perhaps? (See, two can play that smarmy insinuation game).
Fourth: THEY HAVE NOT HAD THAT RIGHT. EVER.
The power to do a thing is not in any way the RIGHT to do a thing.
The Bill of Rights 1689 declares "all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction are illegal and void"
This is one of the founding documents of the English constitution and it states, outright, that the state cannot seize property or levy fines against those who have not been convicted of any crime. They have no right to look through my drawers to find evidence to convict me with unless they have prior evidence and a warrant. They have *never* had a right to just waltz in and take things. Parliament may have ignored these documents, they may have decided they can take on any POWER they so choose but that has never given them the RIGHT. Learn the difference and you may begin to understand what justice and democracy really mean.
Re: The British way of thinking
No, there is NOT a need. There is a desire by the state for more power. The government of this country doesn't NEED to see the contents of my encrypted drives any more than it needs to see the inside of my underpants, no matter how much they may want to air my dirty laundry. Unless they have some evidence that I'm committing a crime, they have no right to rifle through my private things - they certainly have no right to look just because they think they *might* find something. The mere fact that they've written a law that grants them the power to do this doesn't give them any moral right to do it nor does it justify the abuse of people with no power at the hands of the ever more powerful state.
Your justification of this sort of "law" is a mockery of everything our ancestors fought to gain over the last thousand years. You don't deserve to live in this country.
Re: American way of thinking
English born and bred (okay, slightly Irish, but don't hold it against me guv!) and I down voted every single one of your idiocies.
But I may be on the edge of a bell curve so that doesn't prove anything. :)
Re: @Graham Dawson
Must be great having to live in a black and white world where you never have to make any compromises to survive.
Re: Re: Re: Why do they always side with the accused?
The three fifths compromise was made up to prevent the slaver states from using their large slave populations to gain more power in congress. Read your damn history.
The issue isn't the lock. The issue is that the 5th amendment of the US constitution provides for suspects to remain silent in order to avoid inadvertently incriminating themselves. Oddly enough this is nothing to do with guilt or innocence as such, and everything to do with the well known fact that the authorities can and, indeed, will twist anything you say into a case against you. It's in their interests to have you talking, because they can use anything you say in court against you.
A good video explanation from a lawyer can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc
In this case the self-incrimination would be quite simple. They're trying to compel him to hand over what amounts to a detailed description of everything he's ever done online, from which they can very easily construct a very powerful yet entirely circumstantial case against him. They may not have evidence of a crime, but with his harddrive contents the can establish motive, and probably find enough evidence to twist into a logical pretzel establishing presence or actions that would be construed as acting on motive.
In your example, they don't need to find a meth lab at your home. They just need to place you near the location of the meth lab when it was operating and find evidence of motive to operate one (which might be as simple as gettig you to admit that you like watching Breaking Bad), then they can get warrants to search your home, your place of business and everything else until they think they've found enough evidence to prosecute you.

Met Office wants better supercomputer to predict EXTREME weather
Actually I'd say its bad rep is due to the fact that it has a proven track record of getting long-term and even short-term predictions blisteringly wrong. This is nothing to do with the amount of computing power available, but everything to do with the models they use to make their predictions, models based on assumptions that are (as their track record shows) demonstrably wrong.
Which presumably means they're really just trying to get a prestige project to justify their budget in the face of continuing government cuts.

Space: 1999 returning to TV?
Technically speaking, because of their relative size and mass, they both orbit the sun around a barycentre that happens to sit fairly close to the earth's centre of gravity. The moon is relatively enormous as moons go; it's more than fair to call earth/luna a twin planetary system rather than a planet with a moon.

Such corners would easily topple a Smart (or that ugly, top-heavy range rooney everyone seems to be driving nowadays) but which could easily and safely be navigated at much higher speed by other cars.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Everybody seems to be scratching their heads about homosexuals these days. For evolutionary theorists, the question is: Why? If homosexuality (at least male homosexuality) is largely heritable, as seems to be pretty well documented, how does the "gay gene" persist in human populations over evolutionary time? If gay men – pretty much by definition – take themselves out of the gene pool, why are their genes still in there splashing around?
The currently dominant theory turns on self-interest, as is the case with most current evolutionary thinking. Gay men, the theory posits, will be much more nurturing of their nieces and nephews than would heterosexual men (who would, after all, have their own kids to worry about). Thus, in increasing the reproductive potential of their nieces and nephews (by helping more of them survive to adulthood), a fraction of the man's DNA is carried forward to future generations.
