set-up is everything with this machine.1- u need a 7/16" bushing (VERMONT AMERICAN ROUTER BUSHING GUIDE KIT,[$] from [@])2- 14 degree dovetail bit 1/2"*1/2"*2" (BOSCH 84703MC,10$ from [@])3- if you are using 3/4" plywood the set up will be: a-draw a 1/2" line on the vertical wood piece. B-place both pieces on the machine (horizontal and vertical)their side edges should be spaced by the size of one comb (1/2"). c-set the comb plate at 1/4" behind the outer edge of the vertical piece. d-if u r using a 6" router base then the bracket frame has to be at 4" from the outer edge of the vertical piece. e-position the router on the comb table adjust the tip of the bit to flush the 1/2" line u draw on the vertical wood piece. test the settings first, if adjustments needed , start by changing the bit level, higher or lower the bit to tighter or loosen the joints. last thing to do is changing the machine's settings.it might take some time to figure it out, but once u have the right set up you will be amazed by the result.

I learned to hand-cut dovetails long before I had a jig. I was reorganizing my shop and there were going to be a lot of cases and drawers made and I wanted things to move quickly and super high quality wasn't an issue, just durability.So, I bought this bad bay, as it appeared to be a woodstock copy for a lot less green.One issue I found was a slight creep in the adjustment of the finger-plate.I remedied this with a drop of CA glue on each side and it never moved again. I have since retired this machine. I do have some other plates for it, but I have found these jigs too limiting. You can only do so much varitaion when plate guided.I now use an incra positioner, which was the best move I ever made!

As good as top of the line fixtures!

About Me Professional Woodworker
Comments about Windsor Design Dovetail Machine:
I find the dovetail fixture works perfect right out of the box! I changed the template from another identical jig and did the set up and perfect dovetails first time. I have different templates that fit from a worn out fixture that has worn out and is totally useless an I paid 3 times what I did for the HF one. As others have mentioned the directions are vague, but I have used this type dovetail fixture for years..For the price and quality when this one wears out I will replace it with another from Harbor Freight.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works Great... Great Price!
By dalhend

Richard made a good review so I thought I would try this system. I built a mounting jig for it to easily put it to use, and this little baby works great if setup properly. Ensure the work it tight and you are good to go. My units tightens perfectly. Great job HF once again!

A decent tool
By Rollingrock321
from Boothwyn, Pennsylvania
About Me Education Oriented, Thrifty
After purchasing the dovetail kit from HF I was surprised how well it was built. I didn't see any quality issues, but believe that the manufacturer can do even better by eliminating the plastic parts and use heavier components that will last. I have a older router in which I had to purchase the universal guide plate and bushings. the 1/2 comb that was supplied from HF needs some tweaking to allow proper clearances for the bushings to fit. I purchased through Grizzly another 1/2" comb along with a 1/4", and 9/16" in which they fit much better. They work fine and fit all the HF predrilled holes. Other than that, just some fine tuning and its well worth the price.

Awesome for the price
By Bob
from Colorado
As others have said, the instructions are lacking. I watched a You Tube video describing how to set up an identical jig but from another store. Using those instructions I was able to set this up in just a few minutes and I was making perfect, beautiful dovetails quickly. My first practice joint didn't quite fit but with a tiny bit of adjustment my second joint was perfect. This is the first time I've ever done dovetails and I found it very easy with this jig and the instructions in the video. The quality of the jig seems good for the price. I'm taking away one star because I don't think I would have been able to figure out how to use this by simply reading the instructions.
Good stuff
By Paul
from Newark, Delaware.
This product looks exactly like 0ne advertised in a catalog I have. My learning curve was not so steep that I had any trouble using it. Pricewise it was way below what others are asking for it. The only "problem" I had was the lack of any reference to the router base stop bar. No big deal. I figured ot out for myself. The other thing that could be addressed is the availability of template combs. it would be nice if there was one for through dovetails.(and others).

Not that good
By RJ

About Me Professional
I have had this for a few years and have always fought it. Didnt want to spend the money on a real jig. I also tried the small portable jigs. It is hard to set up and consistently goes out of alignment. What's your time worth and the cost of wasted materials? I decided to get a porter cable jig for a little more, what a difference quick set up no adjustments every 4 cuts and no wasted materials
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Some Problems But Worth It
from Chico, CA
I agree with the other posts that the manual is greatly lacking. Unless you are experienced in dovetailing, or are prepared to do considerable trial and error, the manual will be of limited value. It totally omits key steps, such as setting the fence, or "Bracket Frame", as it is labeled in the illustration. In addition, there were printing errors and statements without enough supportive data to promote understanding.Manuals seem to be the bane of many imports. With just a little effort they could vastly improve their product.As suggested by others, downloading a manual for a similar machine from another company greatly helps. However, this raises the question of whether it is proper to use their material without buying their product? You decide.As with many budget imports, the machine itself lacked the finishing touches one might expect to find on a more expensive unit. However, most of these were easily remedied with just a little time. The one exception was the comb table that had a slight crown and allowed the router to rock on it, making accurate cuts impossible. I had to mill it flat (easier than returning the unit), but even then the flexing of the machine resulted in too much play for good fits. I resolved this problem by building an auxiliary support ledge for the near side of the router. With these improvements, the machine works very well!In summary, although not perfect, the unit is a great alternative for those of us who do not have the budget for the more expensive ones. I was happy to buy at such a low price and trade a little time and materials in order to end up with a nice machine.
No plastic!
By Jaygo
from rural East Texas
I just want to point out one thing. The image seen of this machine on HF page appears to have a plastic template. Let me hasten to assure the reader that this is not the case! The only plastic to be found on the machine I got was the hand knobs. The template is indeed metal. I agree with another that a little time spent smoothing it would be a good idea.I AM concerned about it's limitations. I would be interested to know, since others sell this same machine, would it accept different templates to do more such as through dovetails?That's about all I can contribute.I just got this and haven't used it yet. I have never used a machine to make dovetails before so I am grateful for the details provided by the other reviewers.

Sensor locations form a non homogeneous Poisson process and coverage area of each sensor is a circle of random i.i.d. radius. We first describe the one-dimensional coverage process on the line and describe an equivalent time-inhomogeneous Mt/Gt/8 queue whose busy period statistics will be equal to the coverage statistics of the line. We also obtain properties like conditional forward and backward hole-lengths. Additional results for the case of fixed coverage radius are obtained. We also obtain some numerical results for a deployment that has a 'Laplacian' intensity function. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z Model-based opportunistic channel access in Dynamic spectrum access networks http://dspace.library.iitb.ac.in/jspui/handle/100/2960 Model-based opportunistic channel access in Dynamic spectrum access networks SHARMA, M; SAHOO, A; NAYAK, KD We propose a model-based channel access mechanism for cognitive radio-enabled secondary network, which opportunistically uses the channel of an unslotted primary network when the channel is sensed idle. We have considered IEEE 802.11 WLAN as a de facto primary network operating in ISM band. Our study focuses on a single WLAN channel that is used by WLAN clients and a WLAN server for a mix of Email, FTP, and HTTP-based web browsing applications. We model the occupancy of the channel by primary WLAN nodes as an alternating renewal process. The secondary node uses the model to estimate residual idle time duration after the channel is sensed idle, and opportunistically transmits frames in that duration. Our simulation results show that the performance of secondary network is sensitive to the channel sensing duration and that high secondary throughput can be achieved without affecting the primary network significantly by choosing appropriate value of channel sensing duration. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Cloud computing over metropolitan area WDM networks : the Light-trails approach http://dspace.library.iitb.ac.in/jspui/handle/100/2959 Cloud computing over metropolitan area WDM networks : the Light-trails approach GOKHALE, P; KUMAR, R; DAS, T; GUMASTE, A Cloud computing and IT-service provisioning is critical for the growth of enterprises in being able to provision computationally intensive applications. A high-speed networks infrastructure is necessary for the proliferation of cloud computing to meet disparate IT application demands. Light-trails - a generalization of lightpath with ability to provision sub-wavelength demands, meet dynamic bandwidth needs and cater to optical multicasting in a low-cost platform are investigated as a candidate technology for cloud computing. A time-slotted light-trail system is assumed and an algorithm is proposed based on utility concepts. Scheduling connections over light-trails in a timely manner to meet the tasks of an IT-service are considered. Memory resource management as a constraint is further incorporated in the algorithm thereby making the IT application pragmatically reside over the light-trails infrastructure. An exhaustive simulations study showcases the benefits of light-trails for cloud computing - the results obtained are over a wide range of services with serial, parallel and mixed set of constituent tasks. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z Motion analysis marker for ease of image processing http://dspace.library.iitb.ac.in/jspui/handle/100/2958 Motion analysis marker for ease of image processing SETH, B High speed machines and mechanisms are often studied from a sequence of images obtained from high speed videography. The use of markers printed or attached on moving parts can greatly assist in tracking the moving parts. We present the design of a marker suitable for planar motion analysis of mechanism. The marker is designed to make the task of image processing computationally less intensive so as to make real time motion analysis practical. Rosenfeld equivalence table algorithm is used to segment the input image. The new geometry of marker facilitates automatic tracking and provides both position and orientation information. Hu invariant moments are used for recognition of the marker shape in the segmented image. Markers are uniquely identified on the basis of a text code that is placed in a designated location with respect to the marker geometry. In this method, the bounding box for the text code is computed. Knowing the orientation of the marker and therefore the text orientation, it is possible to transform the sub-image, containing the text, so that the text is aligned horizontally. This will permit a standard OCR routine to read the text code. The motion of various moving parts in image sequence can be easily inferred once the position and orientation of each of the marker is known. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z

NFL Draft: Bears want another solid RB who can carry the load
BY PATRICK FINLEY Staff Reporter April 30, 2014 10:32PM
PASADENA, CA - JANUARY 01: Running back Tyler Gaffney #25 of the Stanford Cardinal carries the ball in the first quarter against the Michigan State Spartans during the 100th Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio at the Rose Bowl on January 1, 2014 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by Jeff Gross/Getty Images)
De'Anthony Thomas, Oregon, 5-9, 174: It might be unfair to call Thomas merely a running back.
"I can play receiver," he said. "I can play running back. Kick return. Punt return."
He's a specialty player with world-class speed, having claimed America's fastest prep 200-yard dash time as a senior in high school.
The Bears are interested in Thomas, even if he doesn't fit the mold of a No. 2 back.
He's undersized — and never ran more than 96 times in his three years on the high-octane Ducks — but could replace Devin Hester's kick-return sizzle at a low-risk draft position.
"That's what I'm good at, making plays," Thomas said. "Just being out in space, creating one-on-one matchups."
Kapri Bibbs, Colorado State, 5-9, 212: The former Plainfield North High School star had 31 rushing touchdowns, tied for most in major-college football, in his only season with the Rams.
Ka'Deem Carey, Arizona, 5-9, 207: The two-time first-team All-American might fit the Forte mold after leading the nation in rushing in 2012 and finishing third last season.
Carlos Hyde, Ohio State, 6-0, 230: The Big Ten's reigning Running Back of the Year will be the first one taken in the draft and "could have a rookie year like Eddie Lacy," ESPN's Mel Kiper said.
Tre Mason, Auburn, 5-8, 207: The son of Maseo from legendary rap group De La Soul is a hit-maker himself, having won the SEC Player of the Year award.
James White, Wisconsin, 5-9, 204: The Bears like White, who had 1,444 rushing yards last season and could make for a change-of-pace option in the middle rounds.

Leading up to the NFL draft, which begins May 8, the Sun-Times has taken a position-by-position look at the Bears' needs and which players might be available to fill them. This is the last in the series.
Given Marc Trestman's quarterback-guru reputation and the stunning skill of the Bears' best receivers, the following might surprise you: No running back in the NFL touched the ball more than Matt Forte in 2013.
He had 289 carries and 74 receptions, setting career highs with 1,339 rushing yards and 594 receiving yards.
This offseason, the Bears dumped reserve Michael Bush after the worst season of his career. They signed Shaun Draughn, who had four rushes last season, to join Michael Ford, who spent his rookie year on special teams.
Finding a suitable backup for Forte in the middle to late rounds of the draft next week isn't as simple as it might appear.
Via the draft or with a late free-agent pickup, the Bears need a complementary piece, but one who, were Forte to be injured, could carry the load.
"I'm sure [Trestman] is looking for a young back that has some similar traits to Forte," ESPN analyst Jon Gruden said of his longtime friend. "To be a running back for the Bears in this current system, you've got to be sharp.
"You've got to be able to handle a lot of offense: picking up blitzes, understanding protections, audibles. …
"You've got to be able to catch the football and do something after you do that.
"And you've got to be able to run an array of different runs."
Tyler Gaffney has the bell-cow thing down.
He rushed 330 times as a senior for Stanford, third only to Boston College Heisman Trophy finalist Andre Williams and Arizona All-American Ka'Deem Carey.
"Taking care of your body, before and after, was a huge thing to get through this year," said Gaffney, who had 1,709 rushing yards, eighth in the country.
He played baseball in the Pirates' system — and not football — the year before.
Gaffney, who spoke with the Bears at the NFL Scouting Combine, said most NFL teams have wanted reassurances that he's in football to stay.
"This is what I love; this is what I want to do," he said. "I wouldn't have left baseball otherwise."
Gaffney could be drafted near where the Bears will look to take a rusher.
Others will, too: ESPN's Todd McShay said 11 running backs could be selected from the end of the second round through the fourth.
Gaffney has told teams he's willing do whatever they need to make the team.
"I tell them, 'You're going to get a tough guy, and more than you bargained for,' " he said. "I've been told many times that I wasn't good enough to do that, wasn't fast enough to do this. I felt I've proved everybody wrong."

Shooting suspect takes Iberia Sheriff on chase, ends with crash into apartment complex
POSTED: Tuesday, February 7, 2012 - 7:30pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, February 7, 2012 - 7:34pm
NEW IBERIA, LA — Sheriff Louis Ackal advises that Deputies with the Iberia Parish Sheriff's office apprehended a fleeing suspect after he shot at two vehicles in the City of New Iberia. The incident occurred at the 700 Block of Breaux Alley, New Iberia at approximately 12:05 p.m.
Witness advised that a male driving a red Ford Mustang drove down Breaux Alley, shot at two vehicles and then fled the area. Deputies were able to locate a vehicle matching the description of the suspect vehicle driving South on Hopkins Street.
The suspect vehicle then attempted to evade deputies by turning onto West Admiral Doyle and then turning into Iberia Village Apartment Complex at 502 West Admiral Doyle. The suspect vehicle then crashed into one of the Apartment Buildings disabling the vehicle.
The suspect then exited the vehicle armed with a handgun and then dropped it onto the ground as the suspect fled on foot. Deputes chased the suspect as he was running through the complex and then jumped a wood fence separating Iberia Village Apartment Complex and T R Bob Apartment Complex.
The suspect was then apprehended after a brief foot pursuit. Joshua Smith, of New Iberia, was taken into custody and transported to the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office Patrol Center where he is being questioned by Detectives.
No injuries were sustained by any of the parties involved. The charges will follow once detectives have obtained all details of the incident.

[How to] Reset a lost password and/or recover forgotten username
Initial 'sanity check': This page deals with the username and password required to log in to the BBS only. This page does NOT deal with the password and username used for the Member Login system (access to Reviews, Ratings, etc.).
The bbs software is so protective of your password that it won't even reveal it to the system administrators, so it is not possible for us to send you a reminder.
Quick Hint: If you are a TUG Member, and if you previously have set your Member Login password and your BBS password to the same value, you can retrieve their common current password by retrieving your Member Login password from the Member Login system. Click here.You can, however, request the bbs to generate a new bbs password for you and send it to the email address currently entered in your bbs profile. (If you can no longer retrieve email from the email address in your bbs profile, see My email is no longer valid.)
When you have logged in with your new password, you can then reset it to something of your own choosing if you wish via the instructions in this thread: [How to] Change your BBS password via your profile
The procedure above updates only your BBS password. If you are a TUG Member, it does NOT update your Member Login password. If you know your TUG Member password and can log into the TUG Member area, you may change your TUG Member password here.
If you are a TUG member, TUG strongly recommends that you set both your Member Login password and your BBS password to the same value so that one set of login data will work for you everywhere on TUG.

China frees banks to set their own lending rates
Chinese authorities have given the banking industry greater freedom by allowing banks to set their own lending rates.
Previously they were not allowed to lend at rates below a certain level set by the People's Bank of China (PBOC).
The People's Bank said it hoped the move would lead to lower costs for companies.
It is being seen as a significant part of the government's plan to make the economy more market-orientated.
"When Chinese President Xi Jinping came to power in March, he promised to reform the country's economy to encourage more balanced growth," said BBC Beijing Correspondent Celia Hatton.
"The announcement on bank interest rates is the first major change since that time," she added.
Analysts agree that it marks an important development in policy.
So banks can lend at lower interest rates than before. Most observers think they won't, at least not very much in the immediate future.
But the real significance of this move is that it shows the direction China is taking.
It is one step towards a more market based financial system. It is something the IMF has been urging for a long time, most recently earlier this week in its routine annual health check on the Chinese economy.
The final destination on this path China is taking is likely to include more open capital markets and exchange rates determined by market forces - addressing the long standing allegation that China manipulates its currency to gain a competitive advantage.
"It's a very big deal, probably more in terms of what it symbolises than the effect on the economy," said Mark Williams, chief Asia economist at Capital Economics.
"China has been talking about interest rate liberalisation for a long time, this is one of the biggest steps they could have taken," he said.
Even before this move, Chinese banks had some freedom to lend at rates below the official level, but very few chose to do so.Convertible currency
While it might not have a huge impact on the economy, analysts think the move is an important step towards allowing China's currency to float freely on the currency markets.
The United States has long been calling for that to happen, arguing that China's currency has been kept artificially low, which gives companies producing there an unfair advantage.
"This underlines that China is moving to a fully convertible currency and floating exchange rates " said Flemming Nielsen, senior analyst at Danske Bank in Copenhagen.
"Liberalisation of interest rates is a necessary condition for convertible currency and floating rates and their next step will be to widen the daily trading band for renminbi. They should do that within the next three months," he said.Mortgage controls
There remains an upper limit on how much interest banks are allowed to offer depositors. That currently stands at 3% with a small amount of leeway to go higher.
That relatively poor rate of return has encouraged Chinese savers to invest in unregulated investment products in the so called shadow banking system.
Controls on mortgage lending will also remain in place, to maintain the "healthy development of the housing market", the PBOC said.
"One of the dilemmas they have is that house prices continue to rise quite fast so they probably don't want across-the-board lower interest rates," said Mr Nielsen.
"We will probably have some downpayment requirements and they will maintain guidance on bank lending rates for first time home buyers while keeping tight credit conditions for second-time buyers," he added.

BB Roundtable Discussion: Controversy, Futures, and Non-Pitchers Pitching
Written By Bullpen Banter on 1st July, 2013
You may recall that we used to do roundtable discussions on a regular basis, and that we hadn't really done one in a while before the prospect list roundtable you saw last week. Now we're going to be getting back to them on a regular basis, along with another exciting new feature we hope to be introducing soon. So without further ado, I give you the rebirth of the roundtable!
In the wake of the so-called "STFU-Gate" between Brian Cashman and Alex Rodriguez, do you think teams need to establish a better policy about their players talking about official information through social media? Also, should General Managers and other non-field staff even be commenting in the media about things like this?
John Verburg: I actually don't really see the big issue with what Rodriguez did. It sounds like he was just excited to get some good news from his doctor. I do have a problem with what Cashman did. When you have a position of authority like that it's never really good practice to be dropping a "shut the eff up" on your employee in public in any business. While everyone is human, it's just not professional. I don't really believe in teams imposing a no tweet policy or anything like that, but instead should clearly lay out what is acceptable and what is not, and then go from there with penalties.
Jeff Reese: I side with John here. He may have a massive ego, but I just don't understand the hatred that Alex Rodriguez (or Barry Bonds before him) generates. He wants to continue playing baseball, and he thinks he's healthy enough to return. I'd let him play; there's a very good chance that he can help that team.
Conor Dowley: As a Mariners fan growing up, I completely get the hate that he gets, especially in the modern fan culture surrounding the steroid debacle. But in this matter, I don't see what he did wrong. Yeah, he released some information before the Yankees were apparently ready for it to be out, but the way that Cashman publically reacted was tasteless and, frankly, classless. Upbraiding him like that in private is one thing, but to do it so forcefully in the media is a whole other inappropriate ball of wax.
Evan Rentschler: I don't pretend to take much interest in the slow motion car crash that is A-Rod's career at this point, and like Jeff I have a hard time mustering or understanding the excessive negativity directed toward him by fans, though there is ample basis for frustration among Yankee fans based on the contract, much less this falling star's childish addiction to attention. I do think this is more than a simple tweet of excitement.
The doctor who "cleared" Rodriguez is his personal doctor, not a member of the Yankee's medical staff, and there is a feeling among some that this was a passive-aggressive move on Rodriguez's part to force the Yankees to bring him back on his schedule rather than theirs. With conspiracy theories flying left and right — from the dubious assertion that the Yankees are envisioning insurance fraud re Rodriguez's salary to A-Rod's wanting to return to the field only to retire immediately and avoid losing salary to a potential BioGenesis-spurred suspension — I think this tweet is just the tip of a submerged and sordid iceberg of recrimination between these two parties.
Should Cashman have behaved more professionally? Sure. But then this albatross must be starting to weigh extraordinarily heavy at this point. I'm certainly not going to sit in judgment. At least not until A-Rod's tell-all comes out.
What do you feel about the value of a pro prospect showcase like the Futures Game? Is it of actual benefit for the players and talent evaluators, or are they just better off playing for their clubs?
John: I don't think there is much value to be gained for the players. Though I am sure it is a cool experience to play in a big league park. And it really doesn't mean anything for the organizations either. If they don't know who these guys are, then frankly their scouting departments aren't doing their jobs. I think there is some value to the fans and baseball in general though. It allows fans to see guys they might only briefly hear about, and for baseball it gets fans interested in the next crop of superstars.
Steve Fiorindo: I love the showcases, but I don't think there is a ton of evaluating going on. The game is for the fans, to get a sneak peak at the future. The pitchers come in for their one inning with a closer mentality, mainly pumping fastballs. It is great to get a look at the guys body, delivery, swing etc, but to truly evaluate a guy you need to sit on him for a while.
Jeff: Right, Steve. It is nice to see that many high end prospects at the same place, but what you see is rarely a true representation of their game. These players know that they're on a big stage and will be trying to impress their future fans. You can get a feel for the tools that a player has – remember Wilin Rosario's arm! – beyond that, tread carefully in the conclusions you draw.
Conor: While I certainly understand the marketing draw of such an event, I'd have to think that these players are better off with their clubs. They miss several games worth of time to travel a long ways and pitch just one inning or get a couple of at bats, if even that. That said, there is something to be said to seeing how they do "under the lights" in what's undoubtedly a higher-pressure situation than they'd face until they reach the majors.
Evan: I think it is exactly what it says it is: a showcase. I don't think the players get much development out of it per se, and as a scouting event it provides the same useful but limited opportunities as any other showcase: batting practice and fielding, hitters facing elite pitching and vice versa, and a look at how players handle themselves with a greater than normal media presence. For fans it's an entertaining and sometimes memorable first look at some of the best prospects in the game. MLB is just starting to wake up to the fact that it needs to leverage the groundswell of fan interest in prospects, and the Futures Game and an improved draft presentation are the foundation of what is surely more to come on that front.
What's been your favorite moment of the minor league season so far?
John: That's a tough one, but it might have to be the Brooks Pounders no-hitter. I really felt when he was drafted by the Pirates that he had a chance to be real good. He hasn't really done anything special in his minor league career, and never really reached the level I thought he could, but it was nice to see him get a no-hitter.
Steve: I've been doing a lot more amateur stuff lately, but I did get up to San Jose for the Cal/Carolina All Star Game. It's always cool to get a look at the guys coming in from the Carolina League, got to see Lindor and company. Would have liked if they would have taken infield and outfield.
Jeff: Nothing is coming to mind as a particularly memorable event, so I'll go with watching Roberto Osuna during the first weekend of the season. It was great to be outside in one of the few nice weeks (weather wise) this spring, and Osuna did not disappoint.
Conor: While DJ Peterson's first pro homer was a lot of fun (to say that he mashed that ball is to participate in extreme understatement), but I'd have to say that the best is yet to come for me: I'll be participating in the events around the Northwest League All-Star Game. I've been to these kinds of games before, but to actually be part of the event will be a whole new level of fun.
Evan: I haven't personally witnessed a memorable minor league moment, but as an unabashed fan, I'll propose Javier Baez's four home run game on June 10. Baez started the year slowly, showing off his power but struggling to make consistent contact while also showing little patience. June has seen a slow turnaround in those struggles, while the power has only consolidated, culminating in that fireworks show. While he has had a fresh stretch filled with 0-fers since then, quelling the latest premature calls for his promotion to Double-A, he has also hit two doubles and four more homers to stoke .269 IsoP, especially impressive in the FSL with its spacious parks. A special, if flawed, talent.
Chris Blessing: I got to experience Puigmania in Chattanooga. Everyone stopped what they were doing when he came to bat. One of the vendors told me that leading up to a Puig at bat he'd generate the most sales because people didn't want to miss what Puig might do next. I have been a minor league baseball fan for twenty five years and cannot remember one player generating this much excitement from the home crowd.
On the heels of Casper Wells' inspiring relief performance on Friday, what position player do you most want to see take the mound, even if just for one inning?
John: Andrelton Simmons. He has a good frame, is athletic, and has a cannon on that right arm of his.
Jeff: I'm always interested in the uncommon. Position players given a chance to mop up on the mound certainly qualifies as uncommon. There are plenty of arm strength guys who could probably look passable on the mound, but I embrace the rarity. Wade Boggs and Todd Zeile throwing knuckleballs; Mark Grace throwing at speeds that I could reach; are you not entertained?
Steve: I'd like to see Bryce Harper on the hill. I always reflect back on the throw from the left field corner in the Futures Game and replay it in my head in slow motion when he aired out that throw. Would be interesting to see him airing it out on the bump.
Conor: I can't help but pine for the chance to see Ichiro on the mound. He asked for the chance time and again when he was in Seattle, but was never given the opportunity.

|There is more permaculture going on in Australia than there is here in the U.S. Most of the books & plant lists are for tropical and subtropical climates.
I'm in the Pacific Northwest, and it's a real grind finding information on plants that will grow here. Info on guilds is almost nonexistent, so I would settle for plant names.
Does anyone know of any books or sites that list useful permaculture plants for at least the northern half of the U.S.?
Follow-Up Postings:

|Toby Hemenway gardens in your neck of the woods (thats forest garden of course ;o). Check out his book 'Gaia's Garden". He has a listing of plant materials and speaks of the walnut guild in this book.
We've no where near your climatic conditions here in the South but this book was still a great informative read non-the-less. He does give good general advice we all can use.
|I'm still reading the book after buying it in late April at his workshop in Roanoke, Virginia. I'm an old fashioned vegetable gardener and know very little about trees or native plants, and have the added complication of being in town on a small lot, nothing like the model he uses. (I'm hoping he does another book now that he's moved into town.) Still, I've found a lot of useful material in it, though I have to do extra research on each plant or tree, pretty much. My weather (on the coast) is not too different from yours, though we may get more summer rain. The strength of the book, for me, is that he touches on a lot of topics and gives the names of the main gurus in each area.
|Sayin' yo,
The best book I've seen with plant lists, prefered climates, water needs, and whatnot, would be the Sunset Western Garden Book. Although there isn't a great deal of written technical information per plant (an average of a couple of paragraphs each), if you find your plants, you can use the internet for further study if you need more.
As for information on guilds, Mr. Hemenway's book is a great one. Inside it he gives a bibliography that can start you on your way to knowing everything you'll ever need to know if his book doesn't give you enough. From my own personal research however, from what I've seen of guilds, you need a nitrogen fixer of some kind, a biomass producer of some kind, some type of insect forage, then the plant you are trying to guild in the first place.
Have a good time,
|Dear Sue - Belgianpup,
Concerning PNW permaculture and plant lists:
I will send other ideas as they occur,

|Thank you! All of those look like good sources of info!

|I would warn you of one small detail with the mail order nurseries and thats the use of zones to pick a plant. Look at a zone map and you will see that, for instance, zone 9 extends from Washington state all of the way to the east coast. Now while the winter low temps, and thats what the zones are based on, are simular the actual growing conditions are very dissimular!!!! Many west coast plants are no goes here in the south and vise versa. I believe both suggested nurseries are on the west coast so should have good info for you. Skip the mail order if possible, for multiple reasons, and stick with local growers. Even better hook up with a local gardening group than you can spread the permaculture ideals to others and aquire locally growing plants in swaps and such.
|Hi Sue,
There is a British run project and website that would include more information on temperate zone plants.
On the other hand, I can't seem to find a plant list or website that includes as detailed information for tropical plants. Can anyone help?
Here is a link that might be useful: plants for a future
|Here's a link Virginia Tech Dendrology's map of Washington species. It indicates both what is native and what has escaped from cultivation in your state. I try to avoid what they've marked with an asterisk for "nonnative, planted and a wildland component". They have information for other states, and for Canadian provinces that can be accessed by way of the "back to map" at top. (the link I'm using is older I think, but I prefer the format)
For the site I've included in the "Optional Link URL", you can specify a US state or Canadian province towards the middle of the page.
You might want to be careful about using information from www.forestfarm.com. They sell many invasives and give no warning about invasiveness. I've used Forest Farm in the past, and maybe would again if I had trouble finding a source for a native plant I really want, but I'd rather spend money elsewhere if possible.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ladybird Johnson search page
|I agree with lll001. PFAF is a great website. I have the book by Ken Fern, and I love it, but since I purchased it, there seems to be a lot more info on the site.
Gaia's Garden is also a good book. I have not implemented any permaculture gardening ideas as of yet, because for a long time, I too could not find much on temperate plants.
Try this link to see a few tropical plant listings. It's about 1/4 the way down:
Also try PFAF's links page at:
Good luck!

|There is an incredible book you can preview for free, if you like download and send the author $10. Worth every penny of it I would say!
It is full of wonder pictures an a very large list of species for your area. It is called "West Coast Food Forestry"

Diana Poth is the latest Worlds contender to come out of Hungary. Like Krisztina Czako before her, Poth has made an impact at Worlds, finishing tenth in her first appearance in 1998 and 11th in 1999. "Worlds is my favorite competition because I have my best results there," she said. Poth has never done well in the fall internationals, finishing seventh at Skate Canada and sixth at Trophee Lalique in 1998, but seems to peak for Europeans and Worlds. Her goals for 1999 included finishing in the top ten at Europeans, a feat that she accomplished with a strong fourth place showing. She hopes to compete at Worlds in Australia in 2000, but noted that "I want to do the best that I can, but it's hard to win in Hungary." Poth finished second to Czako from 1996 to 1998 before winning this year and is now being challenged by Julia Sebestyn, who finished 17th at Worlds.
Poth is a strong jumper who includes a triple toe loop/triple toe loop in her short and free programs. At the 1999 Worlds in Helsinki, Poth was the only woman to successfully land a triple-triple combination in the technical. She also does a triple lutz/double loop, a triple flip/double loop and a double axel/double toe loop combination. "The triple lutz is my hardest jump," she said. "I haven't tried a triple axel." This year, Poth is skating to "Black Velvet" in the short and "Gone With the Wind" for the long. "I saw the movie last year and liked the music," she stated. "I always pick my own music. I like modern pop music, but not techno." Poth also designs her own costumes.
Poth started skating when she was five. "My father was a hockey player and my mother wanted me to be a sportswoman so she let me try different sports. I tried swimming, tennis and figure skating. I liked tennis and skating the best," she said. "There are no pairs in Hungary and I don't really like ice dancing, so I skate by myself," she continued. Poth trains with Andras Szaraz and Eszter Jurek in Budapest. Both Tamara Teglassy and Monika Monostovi choreograph her programs. She works for about 20 hours on ice and four hours off ice each week, which includes some ballet and some running. Last season, she also spent part of the summer training in Simsbury, Connecticut.
Still a high school student, the 17-year-old Poth plans to attend university next year and begin studying to become a coach. "I plan to compete until 2002 for sure, then I want to go professional, do some shows and tours, then coach," she said.
Diana likes to swim during the summer and almost always has a tan. "I love going to the beach on holiday. Any beach -- it doesn't matter where," she stated. To relax, she likes going to movies, watching television, and going to dog shows. She has three dogs and a cat and collects stuffed dogs.

Watch this time-lapse video of Barclays Center being transformed from a concert venue to a basketball arena in just 8 hours. It's weird to me that they wouldn't build the basketball floor into the stadium permanently and then just layer other floors on top of that for different purposes.
The Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets, has a really cool underground carousel and elevator for buses and cars.
An unprecedented look at an unfinished Nets Stadium before it opened last year.
A nearly 25-minute documentary about Jay-Z and his journey in prepping for and performing at the new Barclays Center arena (home of the Brooklyn Nets). A truly heartwarming and moving short film about the career of one of NY's best artists.

Middlesbrough have parted company with Scottish international midfielder Kevin Thomson.
The 28-year-old joined Boro in 2010 when then manager Gordon Strachan paid Rangers £2million for his signature.
But Thomson has suffered with constant injuries, since his move and has played just 47 league games since his move.
Now Boro and Thomson have come to agreement over the remaining 18-months on his contract, and he is now free to find a new club.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old forward Jake Fowler has joined Stockport County on a one-month loan deal.

Asia Specialist
The road to Asia is paved with gold — and Tony Sagami is your investment guide.
Tony was born in Japan, a child of a Japanese waitress and a private in the U.S. Army, but migrated to America as a young child and was raised on a small vegetable farm near Tacoma, Washington. On that farm, Tony learned the value of hard work and education from his parents. Tony completed the requirements for his Eagle Scout badge when he was 13 years old and later went on to the University of Washington, determined to make a fortune in the investment business. And that he did.
"I grew up poor and I didn't like it," said Tony. "But my parents taught me how to work harder than anybody else and to always, always keep your promises."
Tony lives part of the year in northwest Montana near Glacier National Park and the rest is various parts of Asia. He coached youth basketball for years, is a Paul Harris Rotarian, enjoys hiking around the Montana mountains, and extensively travels throughout Asia on his hunt for the next great home-run stock.
Here at Uncommon Wisdom Daily, Tony is the editor of the Disruptors & Dominators investing service and the Blue-Chip Option Alert trading service.

THE COMMUTE: Last week I criticized the MTA for referring to the proposed service restorations announced last month as "service investments." Although 17 out of the 32 proposals are restorations and 15 are new services, these numbers are misleading because most of the proposed new services are minor in nature, such as adding overnight service on a route when buses usually operate hourly. On the basis of cost, the vast majority of the proposals are service restorations and only one-third of what was cut is being returned. Further, none of the new services proposed (click on New York City Transit) serves southern Brooklyn.
Archive for the tag 'b31 bus'
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reports that the petitions and protests to stop reduction of B2 and B31 bus service is spreading. At this time, there are 276 signatures at the online petition.
According to the same report in the February 5, 2009 article, Theresa Scavo of Community Board 15 is urging us to support District 46 NYC Council Member Councilman Lewis Fidler's proposal that calls for a .0033 percent payroll tax for businesses. For those of us who may not be familiar with the proposal, you can get in contact with the Councilman at his office or check the NYC government office website (see contact information below).
There's also a very interesting set of articles dealing with Mr. Fidler on Room Eight New York – Politics blog, Dishonor Roll: The 29 City Councilmembers Against Democracy blog, and the Why is the Press So in Love with Lew Fidler? WHEN blog (suddenly, Sheepshead Bites seems like such a short name).
NYC Councilman Lewis A. Fidler District Office
1402 East 64th Street
Brooklyn, New York 11234
District Office Phone: 718-241-9330
District Office Fax: 718-241-9316
Legislative Office Address
250 Broadway, 18th Floor

E-mail: Lewis A. Fidler
(Bus schedules altered to show proposed cuts)
This is our third post within a week about issues affecting South Brooklyn commuters. The MTA is planning to disconnect residents of Sheepshead Bay, Gerritsen Beach, and Marine Park from access to subway during the weekend and at night with a plan to:
-increase the cost of Express bus service to $7.50 from $5,
-discontinue B2 weekend bus service, and
-discontinue B31 overnight bus service.
Read more about how the proposed changes will affect service at GerritsenBeach.net and tell the MTA what you think of these cuts by signing the online petition. Forward the petition link to all of your friends and make sure the MTA knows that we're part of New York City and need this bus service.
THe MTA surveys and data, based on Metrocard swipes, say ridership is too low at these times to justify running the service. You can read the 74-page official report about the proposed cuts and budgeting for the next year, then tell us what you think.
You might also like to join NYPIRG's Straphangers campaign readers' diaries and political discussion thread about the MTA cuts.

Business Auxiliary Services - Parking Division
Business Auxiliary Services (BAS) Parking Division is interested in reducing the number of single occupant vehicles that come onto the UTSA campus. Doing so will result in the reduction of air quality problems in San Antonio and fewer cars requiring parking will mean more parking spaces will be available.
Therefore, the BAS Parking Division has developed a car/vanpool program. The definition of a carpool is: "An arrangement whereby several participants who are either faculty and staff or students (no mixed groups) travel together in one vehicle, the participants share the costs and often take turns as driver."
Individuals interested in being a part of a car/vanpool can complete the below application. A carpool group requires at least 2 individuals, but no more than four (4). Upon submittal, the BAS Parking Division will review the application and once approved, riders of the BAS Parking Division approved car/vanpool may obtain up to five (5) daily scratch-off permits per academic year that will be valid for the space type of the carpool permit in the event that a car/vanpool member needs to drive to campus instead of riding with the registered carpool.

The average S&P 500 stock is currently 4.33% above its 50-day, which is a very high reading. The S&P 500 itself is trading 3.5% above its 50-day.
Below is a list of the 35 S&P 500 stocks that are currently trading the farthest above their 50-days. As shown, Best Buy (BBY) -- yes, Best Buy! -- is the farthest above its 50-day at 33.75%, followed by Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) -- yes, Hewlett-Packard! -- at 23.79%. Other notables on the list of the most extended stocks above their 50-days are Netflix (NFLX), Electronic Arts (EA), TripAdvisor (TRIP), Boeing (BA) and Washington Post (WPO).Just 84 S&P 500 stocks are currently below their 50-days, and below is a list of the 35 that are the farthest below. Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) ranks first at -32.13%, followed by JC Penney (JCP) at -17.59% and Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) at -14.20%. Apollo (APOL), US Steel (X) and First Solar (FSLR) are the only other stocks more than 10% below their 50-days.
