This quirky looking hourglass stool is a cool, solid design that you can make at home on your own! Spotted over at 'Dangerously Fun', this DIY stool can be made simply by using old cardboard from boxes or packaging, strong glue, a craft knife, a tape measure, and a pencil. Hit the jump for an easy-to-follow 'How To'!
From Dangerously Fun: "Cut and fold part A, which will form the seat. It is made of multiple 11.5″ diameter circles folded over each other to make a strong sitting surface. The narrow strip is folded around the circumference of all of the circles to hide the edges.
Cut and fold part B, which is the weight-bearing element in the stool. It is just a large sheet that is rolled into a tight cylinder. You can make folding easier and more precise by using a straight edge and a blunt instrument to score parallel lines into one side of the cardboard. The cardboard will then fold nicely along these lines.
Cut and fold part C, which is mainly decorative. This piece has thin diamonds cut out of it, allowing the middle to be pressed in when it is rolled up. The result is an hour glass shape."
So long as the parts fit together properly then you can start gluing. Be careful to let the glue dry fully before trying out the stool — and make sure that it stands up properly as tilting or leaning on it will wear it out. Happy crafting!

Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

New trial date for men indicted in deadly Waikele blast
Updated On: Oct 10 2013 12:17:02 PM HST
A new trial date has been set for two men indicted over a deadly fireworks explosion at an Oahu bunker.
Two men and their employer, Donaldson Enterprises, Inc., are accused of treating hazardous wastes without a permit. The April 2011 blast in Waikele killed five Donaldson employees.
Director of operations Charles Donaldson and project manager Carlton Finley have pleaded not guilty.
Trial was scheduled for last month but court documents show the new trial date is scheduled for March 12. Attorneys for the defendants asked for more time to review "extensive discovery" in the case.
A hearing is scheduled Thursday in federal court on a motion for Finley to be appointed a new defense attorney.

Recalling some of the most spectacular horrors of history -- the burning of heretics and witches at the stake, the wholesale massacre of "heathens," and other no less repulsive manifestations of Christian civilization in Europe and elsewhere -- modern man is filled with pride in the "progress" accomplished, in one line at least, since the end of the dark ages of religious fanaticism.Savitri Devi
I never thought home runs were all that exciting. I still think the triple is the most exciting thing in baseball. To me, a triple is like a guy taking the ball on his 1-yard line and running 99 yards for a touchdownHank Aaron
When you think about it, a home run is a mistake. The idea is to hit the ball hard, on a line, so the defense can't react to it. Hit it high in the air, which is how most home runs are hit, and most of the time it will be caught. It's a mistakeMatt Williams

I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green.Nathaniel Hawthorne
Just as a fisherman cannot catch fish unless his line is in the water, a wildlife photographer cannot shoot great wildlife images unless he or she is out there with camera in hand and the knowledge of what to do then the 'magnificent moment' occurs.Larry
In the animation world, people who understand pencils and paper usually arent computer people, and the computer people usually arent the artistic people, so they always stand on opposite sides of the line.Don Bluth

Courage is the dividing line between weakness and strength of character.Steve Pavlina
Interestingly, if you ask three people what it means to be Christian, you will get three different answers. Some feel being baptized is sufficient. Others feel you must accept the Bible as absolute historical fact. Still others require a belief that all those who do not accept Christ as their personal savior are doomed to hell. Faith is a continuum, and we each fall on that line where we may. By attempting to rigidly classify ethereal concepts like faith, we end up debating semantics to the point where we entirely miss the obvious that is, that we are all trying to decipher life's big mysteries, and we're each following our own paths of enlightenment. I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress.Dan Brown
There's a line in the picture where he snarls, "Nobody tells me what to do." That's exactly how I've felt all my life.Marlon Brando
At the dinner table when I was very little, I would hear people bickering the father saying something, the mother choosing to defend herself. To escape the bickering, I started modelling the soft bread with my fingers. With the dough of the French bread sometimes it was still warm I would make little figures. And I would line them up on the table and this was really my first sculpture.Louise Bourgeois
Do not all charms fly at the mere touch of cold philosophy? There was an awful rainbow once in heaven: we know her woof, her texture; she is given in the dull catalogue of common things. Philosophy will clip an angel's wings, conquer all mysteries by rule and line, empty the haunted air, and gnome mine unweave a rainbow.John Keats

text: http://www.youtube.com/user/KirkFranklinvEvO Kirk Franklin The man has produced a discography rewarded with every industry award imaginable, Gold and Platinum plaques and nearly two-dozen chart topping singles on Gospel and mainstream radio. Tagged as a 21st century Gospel genius thanks to his interesting and massively appealing mix of genres, Franklin continues to record his personal life fights on Hello Fear (verity) - musically confronting elements of worry, depression and anxiety with God's promises of provision and peace. CCM: hello Fear. What's behind the title? kirk Franklin: God gave me this theme over a year ago. It's about maintaining a position of courage right in the face of fear. On some level we all deal with issues of fear, it's apart of the human condition. But I'm so encouraged with the body of music on this album because over and over again the music speaks to hope, encouragement and faith! CCM: How does the first single, "I Smile," an upbeat urban track fit into that theme? kirk: This track is all about being intentional about our faith and determining to have an attitude of joy consistently. As Christians our compass is not set by what happens externally: if something good happens, then I'm happy. When something bad happens then I'm unhappy. The song speaks to a deeper level of contentment and gratitude. CCM: kirk Franklin records are acclaimed for tight beats and innovative production. What's your studio M.o.? kirk: I routinely get an idea about a song in my normal life routine but I don't subscribe to an M.O. I do what is organic to me but I don't have a music formula. People may be surprised, when I'm not working on an album I shut down the music piece and I'm with my family. CCM: This spring you hit the road with the "Steve Harvey and Kirk Franklin Gospel Comedy Tour." a comedy tour for kirk Franklin? kirk: Steve and I have been good friends for over fifteen years. we are excited to bring Jesus and jokes to our friends and fans. CCM: alright, we gotta' ask. as host for BeT's sunday Best, what piece of advice would you offer an up-and-coming Gospel artist? kirk: you do not go into Gospel/Christian music to be a star. God is the only superstar here. This genre is so not like all of the other genres. We have a higher calling and mission. For the fourth season, I'm grateful to serve in this role in what I believe is the greatest genre that has the best singers hands down. —Andrew Greer www.kirkfranklin.com Check out a special lyric video of the new smash single, "I Smile" on Kirk's VEVO channel now!

Season five of Mad Men is finally upon us, and this is what January Jones chose to wear to the premiere. It's becoming clear that cutouts are this season's brow-raising trend that we will probably see done well, and also done very poorly. January Jones in particular is known for red carpet risk-taking, similarly with varying results. Do you think this frock was a classy success, or a bit of a mess?
Do you think January Jones' Mad Men premiere dress is a hit or a miss? And how does it stack up against her past red carpet looks?

Their legacy is one of protecting high hazard applications ranging from offshore oil platforms, to the B-2 bomber, to thousands of miles of gas pipelines, to token booths in New York City's subway system.
Detector Electronics' headquarters is located in Minneapolis, MN, USA. At this 80,000 sq.ft. facility, they manufacture UV and IR sensors for flame detectors, catalytic gas sensors used in combustible gas detectors and electronic PC board and detector/controller assemblies. They also maintain a 4,000 sq.ft. off-site fire and gas test facility that is one of the best in the world. Det-Tronics has 260 dedicated employees, 74 worldwide representative sales offices and 16 worldwide sales offices.
Detector Electronics is unique in the manufacturing of both flame and gas sensors in-house, thereby controlling specifications to exacting requirements. Their optical flame detectors incorporate the latest technologies in UV, IR, UV/IR, Dual IR, Multispectrum IR (MIR) and fiber optics. In the gas detection line, they employ technologies for catalytic, electrochemical, thin-film semiconductor, and IR absorption. Their flame and gas systems range from conventional to state-of-the-art, highly fault tolerant and configurable detection and releasing systems. By offering the widest range of fire and gas detection & alarm products, Det-Tronics ensures the right technology for every application.
Det-Tronics maintains one of the most sophisticated fire and gas testing facilities in the world, which enables them to fully test and evaluate products. Their dedication to providing the highest level of safety possible results in superior products that have been tested to insure that they perform the intended function over a wide range of abnormal operating conditions.
At the testing facilities, computerized data access systems log dozens of events at hundreds of times per second in order to gather the data needed to develop the best and safest detector possible. Meanwhile, as a normal course of developing a flame detector, countless tests encompassing a full range of fuel types, fire sizes and false alarm sources are performed. Combustible gas detectors undergo similar testing against possible triggering sources, including attempts at tricking the product into false alarms.

California to list BPA as developmental toxicant under Prop 65
10:58 AM MST | January 28, 2013 | Kara Sissell
Regulators in California have published a notice of intent to list bisphenol A (BPA) as a developmental toxicant under the state's Proposition 65 (Prop 65) law. California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) proposed the listing as part of the state law that requires labeling of products deemed to be carcinogenic or harmful to reproductive health. However, industry says OEHHA's decision conflicts with prior state findings on BPA. "The weight of scientific evidence does not support OEHHA's intention...

Home Maidstone News Article
They are still flooded nearly three weeks after the Medway burst its banks, blocking the only cycle path between East and West Maidstone.
Kent County Council said it was unsure when they could be re-opened.
Stuart Jeffery, the Green Party parliamentary candidate for the town, said: "Maidstone is perhaps the most dangerous place in Kent for pedestrians and cyclists.
"The fact that cyclists are still unable to cross from one side of the river to the other in safely three weeks after the floods is unbelievable.
"Pedestrians are taking their lives into their own hands crossing the gyratory by the Broadway Shopping Centre and near Drakes."
Mr Jeffery said: "KCC always concentrates on the roads. They are once again ignoring the needs of people who do not have cars. "
Only one subway, connecting the High Street with the south side of the south bridge is open.

Dual Throttle Valves
Late-model sport bikes often use large-bore throttle bodies to generate high levels of power. However, with large diameter throttles, when a rider suddenly opens the throttle, the unrestricted torque response is anything but gentle and often more than the rider can handle. Dual throttle valve technology was designed to tame engine response while contributing to performance.
On fuel-injected models, throttle bodies generally have only one throttle valve per cylinder. On models with dual throttle valves, there are two throttle valves per cylinder: in addition to the main valves, which are physically linked to the throttle grip and controlled by the rider, a second set of valves, opened and closed by the ECU, precisely regulates intake airflow to ensure a natural, linear response. With the air passing through the throttle bodies becoming smoother, combustion efficiency in improved and power is increased.
Like other Kawasaki engine management technology, Dual Throttle Valves were designed with the philosophy of "following the rider's intention, while providing natural-feeling support." They are featured on many Kawasaki models.
Fuel Efficient
Vehicles that have a fuel efficiency rating under 5.5L/100km.

- Slightly short
Best Uses
- Block Door Drafts
I purchased this to block the door drafts coming from my closet into my living room. My closet has a mail slot and with the extreme cold (Chicago area) this winter we notice the cold air pouring in from this closet. We looked at a lot of draft blockers and settled on this one. It has nice weight and is packed with some sand to help hold it's position and stop drafts. We also like the Cat shape of it as it adds a little more then just a brown tube by the door. I just wish it was just 2 to 3 inches longer as that would allow the door to be covered by the "body" of the cat and not the body+head/paws. This is a small grip though. Performance wise it does the job. It is still crazy cold but it is being contained in the closet and preventing significant drafts.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Cute
- Does the job
- Good Color For Purpose
Best Uses
Great for keeping out cold air drafts from a warped door! Color is not a "jump out at you" one so it does often go unnoticed by visitors, which is good.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
These are twice as thick as other "draft dodgers" and heavy so that they actually do what they are supposed to. An excellent product!

46 Years Ago: The Byrds Release 'The Notorious Byrd Brothers'
Released on Jan. 15, 1968, 'The Notorious Byrd Brothers' marks the end of the first chapter of one of America's finest rock 'n' roll bands. Change was something the Byrds were already used to. In less than three years, they lost three original members. Gene Clark, who was responsible for much of the band's stellar early material, left in 1966, drummer Michael Clarke exited after the sessions for 'Notorious,' and the eternal wild card, David Crosby, was booted out in the fall of 1967.
Though Clark returned to the fold during the recording of this album, his return visit was a short one, leaving only Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman to proceed. This too, would change soon enough.
Despite, or perhaps because of, all the internal strife, 'The Notorious Byrd Brothers' rings out like a glorious chiming bell and remains one of the band's most loved albums. Its consistency is amazing, with one song after another bending one's mind and inducing a smile. 'Artificial Energy' kicks things off in fine style. Co-written by McGuinn, Hillman and Clarke, it's a perfect album opener. The last song recorded for the album, it bursts forth with punchy horns and driving drums. Yes, it's about speed, and it's safe to say the lyrics probably wouldn't fly today. "I'm coming down off amphetamine, and I'm in jail cause I killed a queen."
The band's take on Carole King and Gerry Goffin's 'Goin' Back' follows and is perhaps the definitive version of the song. 'Natural Harmony' and 'Draft Morning' are up next, basking in pure beauty. Chris Hillman's role as songwriter really began to expand on 'Notorious,' co-writing eight of the LP's 11 tracks.
Another Goffin/King song, 'Wasn't Born To Follow,' is up next in all its countrified glory. It would later feature prominently in the movie 'Easy Rider.' It has long been said that the characters in that film played by Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda, were loosely based on Crosby and McGuinn. 'Get To You' and 'Old John Robertson' are both country-tinged numbers that glow of the era they sprang from, while 'Change Is Now' is one of the band's most beautiful songs without question, and its jingle jangle guitars resonate for the ages.
'Tribal Gathering' has David Crosby written all over it. He and Hillman worked up this two-minute gem in homage to the 'Gathering Of The Tribes' festival held earlier that years in San Francisco. 'Dolphin's Smile' conjures up its own psychedelic aquatic adventure in all of its two minutes, before the album ends on an eerie note. A spacey drone set to a sea shanty waltz, 'Space Odyssey' is driven by a swirling wash of keyboards and guitars. Its otherworldly sounds would have, if McGuinn had his way, pointed to the next chapter in the Byrds story. However, Hillman and (the soon-to-join) Gram Parsons had other ideas, but that's another story for another time.
In the Jan. 15, 1968, edition of the Los Angeles Times, Pete Johnson wrote, "Logically, a group which decays from a quintet down to duo, has to pay for the process with vitality, retaining only a crippled imitation of the old sound, but McGuinn and Hillman still have something to give." The album barely cracked the Top 50 in America, but hit No. 12 in the U.K.
While 'The Notorious Byrd Brothers' could be seen as dated and inextricably rooted in its time, over the years it has managed to transcend that era and stands proudly as one of the Byrds' finest LPs. It's a cohesive and entertaining ride for all of its thirty minutes, and song-for-song, it's pretty hard to beat. If there is any fault to find with it, it would be that 'Lady Friend' (released as a single prior to the album) was not included on the LP. It is, arguably, the finest song David Crosby ever wrote, simply a perfect pop record. So dig on this masterpiece. All these years later, it still dazzles.
Listen to 'The Notorious Byrd Brothers'

He'd Hit That
Blogger: Vance
But, I was thinking, man, the Stars really must be down about blowing the game last night. But then I thought, wait a second, they're hockey players, they have gorgeous wives. Like take, Mike Modano for example, he who is married to none other than "pop sensation" Willa Ford.
They've been happily married since August of 2007 and she has consistently proven her assets to the world, including but not limited to, a 2006 issue of Playboy.
Now we like to keep our images safe for work (mainly because I have to) but, uhhh, side boob. Even Sean Avery and Dion Phaneuf can agree, they'd hit that. So congratulations Willa, 42 people will oogle you on the internet today. You're welcome. Your self-esteem can thank me later.

The Northwest Arkansas Educational Cooperative is bringing online simulation tools, called "Gizmos," to middle schoolers as part of an effort to increase student proficiency in the areas of math and science.
The Gizmos, provided as a service by ExploreLearning, offer visual, interactive representations of specific STEM concepts (water displacement, Newton's laws of motion, the angles of polygons, etc.) and are designed to align with state math and science curriculum standards. Funding for the implementation was provided by the Arkansas Department of Education through the Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) program.
"This is another valuable resource that supports the Total Instructional Alignment Resource Project (TIARP), a joint project of all Arkansas Education Service Cooperatives. Gizmos will give grade 6-8 students across Arkansas the ability to explore, experiment with and visualize math and science concepts as they learn," said Teresa Chance, an assistant director for the Northwest Arkansas Education Service Cooperative and project director for the EETT grant's Gizmo implementation, in a prepared statement.
The Northwest Arkansas Educational Cooperative is made of 16 individual school districts, including Decatur Public Schools, Farmington Public Schools, Bentonville Public Schools, Greenland School District, Gentry Public Schools, Gravette Public Schools, Fayetteville Public Schools, Huntsville School District, Prairie Grove School District, Pea Ridge School District, Lincoln Consolidated School District, Rogers Public Schools, Siloam Springs School District, Elkins Public Schools, Springdale Public Schools, and West Fork Public Schools, along with the Benton County School of Arts.

First annual MatrikonOPC Conference draws worldwide users
Though attendees came mostly from North America, the conference also attracted presenters, participants, integrators and users from as far as Russia, South America, and Europe. They represented a variety of companies, including Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, Shell Global Solutions, and the OPC Foundation.
"The MatrikonOPC Conference represented an important opportunity to learn about the technology," says Tom Burke, OPC Foundations president, who delivered the first days keynote. "Attendees learned a lot about the different vendors, and learned about Matrikon's commitment to OPC as one of the driving companies supporting the OPC Foundation and the technology."
The three official conference days were followed by three days of intense, hands-on workshops with more than 70 attendees taking part. These computer lab-based workshops offered Level 1, 2 and 3 OPC certification for beginner to advanced users. "This was an excellent workshop, and its reference to real examples and exercises helped me understand the use of OPC," says Kenneth Arroyo of Schlumberger.
Matrikon adds that Houston will host the next MatrikonOPC Conference in September 2006. For more information, visit www.opcusersgroup.org.

Shannon Horsley,
Apricus, Inc.
April 13, 2012
"This is how it should work; I hope to see much more such business ventures. I can see the benefits to federal buildings that are getting updated with new heating and air conditioning systems."
Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa Delauro visited with Apricus Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of solar hot water and hydronic heating products, and their partner Engineering Specialties Inc. (ESI), a manufacturer of engineered metal stamping, mechanical assemblies, and other custom component parts, on Tuesday, April 3rd.
DeLauro toured both the Apricus and ESI factories to learn more about their collaboration and efforts to produce a solar thermal product locally. The two Connecticut-based companies partnered in early 2011 on the AP-30C, an evacuated tube solar collector that exceeds the requirements of the Buy American Act and is suitable for projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
"We are a good fit," said Nigel Ruddell, Vice President at Apricus, Inc. "We wanted to work with someone locally so we could grow the product together. The proximity of the two companies has been a huge factor in helping bring the AP-30C to market."
DeLauro commented, "This is how it should work; I hope to see much more such business ventures. I can see the benefits to federal buildings that are getting updated with new heating and air conditioning systems."
This partnership has shown success in it's early stages. Since the start of production, the team has shipped multiple AP-30C's to a various range of projects including one array of 100+ collectors."
For additional inquiries about the AP-30C or Apricus' full line of products, contact Apricus directly at 203-488-8215 or visit www.apricus.com.

Even if you're not a huge Swedish car fan (not many of us are) this particular Volvo model may still look familiar. How? Well Volvo's P1800 fame came from being Roger Moore's sleek ride in the 1960′s TV series "The Saint". In fact, Moore was so into driving the car on set that he bought a P1800 for his own personal use.
The P1800 was first seen at the 1960 Brussels Motor Show, where it won over the crowds with it's uniquely-shaped coupe lines. Surprisingly, the P1800 wasn't the first choice for the part in "The Saint". The producers first asked Jaguar for the E-Type, but the British brand refused, arguing that the car didn't need more publicity. Volvo jumped at the opportunity and offered up a P1800 and the rest is history.
Production of the P1800 began in 1961 and almost 46,000 units of the model were made in various versions until production ended in 1973.
Probably the second most famous P1800 driver was American Irv Gordon, who drove his Swedish coupe for 45 years, reaching more than 2.8 million miles (4.5 million km) without changing the engine, the transmission or the axles. A statement for the durability and the quality of an outstanding vehicle.
To celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the P1800, Volvo will participate at the TechnoClassica show in Essen (March 30 – April 3) with six special models: the X1 (the first prototype), a 1961 first series model assembled in the UK, a 1963 P1800S Rally, a 1966 1800S Volvoville (US-built convertible), a 1971 1800E and a 1971 1800ES.
