1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an improved bearer structure specially designed to serve as a framework for the construction, by means of modular elements, of conventional office units, (offices or desks) with passages (or with open spaces) or partitioned.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Systems known at present do not permit, the construction, by the combinations of the same basic elements, of groups of office units such as conventional office units, which have passages (or open spaces), or which are partitioned.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome this drawback.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a structure of simple design enabling, by the addition of standard modular elements (caissons, trays, partitions, shelves, etc. . .), the construction of groups of extremely varied office units.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a bearer structure for assembling modular elements characterised in that it comprises uprights constituted by cylindrical sectional elements with grooves parallel to the axis of the sectional elements and distributed regularly at the periphery and connecting members comprising a part engageable and lockable in said grooves at the desired height and a projecting part on which is fixed the end of a cross-piece supporting the various constituent modular elements for office units of diverse configurations.
Advantageously, four grooves are provided, for example T shaped, shifted angularly by 90� , and said connecting members are straight, that is to say their projecting part is in the plane of symmetry of the T-groove, or angled. In the latter case, the axis of said projecting part of the connecting member forms with the plane of symmetry of the T-groove, an angle, for example of 30�, 45� or 60� .
With such a system it is possible to construct very numerous combinations through the multiple possibilities of "leading out" in several directions from each constant.
The uprights according to the invention may also be provided with special fittings at the ends enabling the fixing of auxiliary partitions or sub-partitions.
Other features and advantages will emerge from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, which description is given purely by way of example and with respect to the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of one embodiment of a structure according to the invention illustrating various possibilities of the mounting of modular elements.
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the basic arrangement of the device according to the invention, that is to say an upright and its connecting members, and
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a means for fixing a partition on the framework according to the invention.
The basic members of the bearer structure according to the invention will first be described with reference to FIG. 2.
In this Figure, at 1 is shown a cylindrical upright constituted by a sectional element, for example of aluminum, having longitudinally and at its periphery four identical T shaped grooves 2 shifted angularly by 90�.
The upright 1 is hollow and includes in particular a polygonal central passage 3 enabling the passing of cables or pipes or the like if necessary, supplying accessories based on the modular elements borne by the upright one or fixed on these elements.
Each groove 2 can receive connecting members denoted generally by the reference numeral 4.
These members comprise two parts, one 5 including the means of insertion in the grooves and the other 6 comprising fixing means for supporting sectional elements for trays, cassions, shelves, etc. . .
The surface of the part 5 turned towards the upright 1 is cylindrical in order to mate with the upright 1 and includes centering ribs 7 fitting into the grooves 2. The part 5 includes two drillings in which two bolts 9 are engaged perpendicularly to the axis of the upright 1 when the connectors 4 are in position.
In order to facilitate the positioning of the connectors 4 in height along the upright 1, a series of drillings 10 is provided in the partition separating the grooves 2 from the central passage 3, in which the end of the bolts 9 are engaged. On the latter, are screwed gibs 11 of a particular hexagonal shape whose width is slightly less than that of the orifice of the grooves so that when the gibs 11 are engaged in the widened part of a groove 2, the rotation of the bolts 9 the heads of which are reached through the drillings 12, causes the gibs 11 to rotate which positions them cross-wise and blocks them until complete clamping of the connector 2, the gibs 11 no longer then being able to come out of the groove.
The part 6 of the connectors 4 has a generally parallelepipedic section and is oriented at 45�, for example, relative to the vertical middle plane of the part 5.
The part 6 serves as a tenon engageable in the end of a hollow cross-piece as will be seen below, fastening screw receiving holes 13 being formed in this part 6.
FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of an office unit constructed by means of the device of FIG. 2.
To constitute, for example, a working top of a desk unit, four uprights 1 are arranged and connected in the following manner.
Laterally the support legs constituted by two of the uprights are connected together by a cross-piece 15 formed by inverse U sectional element engaged through its ends on the projecting part 6 of the connectors 4.
Longitudinally, the connection is formed by two other hollow sectional elements 16 of rectangular cross-section and provided internally with a fitting 17 at each end pierced by two threaded holes 18.
In these holes 18 are engaged the fastening screws 19 of the cross-pieces 15 on the connectors 4. On the thus constituted rigid frame is positioned a plate 20 fixed by screws (not shown) to the sectional elements 15, 16.
At each corner, the plate is cut out circularly at 21 to permit the positioning, at the end of each upright 1, of an upper fitting 22 including a cylindrical head of the same diameter as the upright 1 with a ribbed base 23 of the same cross-section as the central passage 3 of the upright and ensleeved fast in the latter.
At the lower part of the uprights 1 are provided lower fittings 24 with a cylindrical head and a jack 25 of conventional design screwed in a tapped hole formed for this purpose in the lower fitting 24.
Modular caissons 26 with small or large drawers can be fixed by screws on the sectional elements 16.
Several caissons 26 may be stacked by being fastened to one another by a screw and nut system.
To produce a simple desk or a conventional desk, a single groove 2 of each upright 1 is used since the sectional elements 15 and 16 are fixed to the same connector 4. The other grooves can receive other connectors 4 enabling the number of connectors which an upright can support to be multiplied with a view to adjoining identical modular equipment or accessories (for example a 90� return for a typing desk) according to a wide variety of combinations.
In the drawings, bent connectors 4 are shown but it is also possible to provide straight connectors whose projecting parts 6 are in the extension of the parts 5. It is also possible, according to particular applications, to provide connectors bent at 60� or 30� , which further multiplies the possibilities of arrangement.
Above the working top of the desk may also be provided a screen on one side by extending the legs to a greater height on which the screen is fixed.
The fixing of this screen 30 (FIG. 3) is done by lugs 31 fast to the upper corners of the screen 30 provided with an arcuate vertical rim 32 turned downwardly and intended to be engaged in a circular groove 33 formed on the outer surface of a jack fitting 34 ensleeved on the end of the upright 1.
The rim 32 is clamped in the groove 33 by a jack 35 screwed in a tapped hole 36 of the fitting 34.
For constructing partitioned desks, partitions of suitable structure are used provided with means for fastening to uprights identical to those of FIG. 3.
The drillings 10 formed in the uprights can also serve for fastening shelves of modular sheet metal elements with or without curtain closing, or electrical plinths.
Finally, the invention is not limited to the embodiment shown and described above but covers on the contrary all modifications, notably those regarding the number, the arrangement or the shape of the grooves of the uprights.

Tim Sullivan, Partner, Thompson Coburn LLP
Government contracting can be a very useful tool for enhancing social and economic changes that Congress deems worthy. Contracting veteran Tim Sullivan has authored the blog, "10 Myths of Government Contracting." Sullivan has been exploring these myths on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin. Today Sullivan tackles the penultimate myth - number 9: Only the big guys succeed. That myth seems easy to debunk given the amount of small business contracting the federal government does ... but not everyone reads past the headline of the big awards.

David Wise, Director of Physical Infrastructure Issues, GAO
A Veterans Affairs hospital construction project is shaping up to be a classic failure. Late and over-budget, the billion dollar Denver facility is only 62 percent complete. And now a court rules, the contractor could legally walk away from the whole thing. Judges for the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals say the VA has acted in bad faith. This mess has not escaped notice of the Government Accountability Office. David Wise, the director of physical infrastructure issues at GAO, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to explain more of what went wrong and whether it can be salvaged.

Larry Korb, Senior Fellow, Center for American Progress
Congress is capping the pensions of top military officials in 2015. As part of National Defense Authorization Act, pensions for generals and admirals will be trimmed to ensure they make no more in retirement than they did on active duty. That reverses a 2007 law designed to help retain officers during wartime. What effects, if any, will this have on the military's ability to retain its senior officers? Larry Korb is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and former assistant secretary of Defense for manpower and reserve affairs. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with a look at this measure.

The directions for putting things together was useful, but could have been better. There was no space to put washers between wooden parts at the base: it would have required removing the parts attached to the tabletop itself, redrilling holes, and reapplying it. Trying to get the washers in the other joints was difficult at times, but not impossible.
I was looking for a table for the pool deck that would hold my patio umbrella. This works nicely. Just the right size....Saw the same tables avalable at my local dept stores online for about the same pricing. Table shipped quickly.
The table is fine. The illustrated assembly directions were a little off. I thought it was wrong and impossible. My neighbor, the mechanical engineer, assured me that the illustration was misleading. So after my three tries and his first attempt, we got the table to stand up. Apparently you should use good spatial reasoning or trial and error method (my style) to assemble it. The illustrated assembly instructions are open to interpretation or not quite right.
Nice table...easy to put together...folds up nicely for storage. Don't expect the table to be completely sanded smooth...its a little rough. Great for the patio though.
Great for small patios and easy storage which is why I purchased this table.

I've always liked making labels for my beers but I've never actually used them or put them on the bottles. Now that I keg and have a dedicated fridge, I figured I could put something together. For display, I got those clear plastic sheet protectors and used double sided tape to put 8 of them on the lid of the keezer. I enjoy the creativity of making a label, but this is more of a menu for choosing which beer you want. Also, I no longer have time to design intricate labels. What I came up with is a standard format that I can use for every beer. It includes the vital numbers (ABV, IBU, and brew date), a flag for country of origin, and for those people who don't know styles very well and choose beer based on appearance, a picture. That way the BMC drinkers aren't surprised when they pull a pint of the irish ale and don't want to drink it because it is dark. Also, to the left of the beer name is how to find the beer in the keezer. Bottled beers have a circle and whatever is written on the cap goes there. Kegged beers get a tap number. Then I put a short paragraph describing the style and any history, the beer, any interesting ingredients, and maybe just a little self-praise. I've got this on a excel spreadsheet so I can whip it together in no time.
The current lineup top half:
and bottom half:
edit: oops, forgot the flag on the peach and cream ales.
And the only one so far retired:
I like your idea a lot.... I'm thinking they might look great framed on the walls of a homebrewpub
I'm LOVING your idea!! I just put my keezer together and my solution to the problem was a chalkboard.
I'm not sure how I'm going to implement it, but I'm so gonna shamelessly steal your idea. Thanks for posting!
Nice idea!
Nice execution, too!
very nice I dig it
Well here's the excel file by PM request. I'll put it in both vista xlsx and the old xls format. The box in the top left is set to a font where the "O" is just a circle and that's how you get the cap symbol. The easy way to change out the picture but keep the border is to just right click the one I have and choose "change picture", or at least that's the best way to do it in vista. For the descriptions, I don't think anyone but me reads them, but I still like them. Maybe if someone came over who loved beer the way I do. I've just always felt that restaurants and even brewpubs don't give enough space on the menu to describe a beer the way they do a food menu item. I'll keep writing them and my friends will keep not reading them, and that's life I guess.Flags.net for the flags
I can't believe this but I've never compressed a file for upload before. Hopefully it works. I had to delete the picture from the older version to get within file size limits.
I really like these. was thinking have you seen this years Morebeer catalog ? i kinda like how they added little bars for there beer kits. Since you are displaying these for people who may or may not know how bitter X# of IBU's are it would be cool to add something similar to yours. Just a idea..

20 Songs That Didn't Need A Remix
Original: Fat Joe "Another Round" (2011)
Remix: Featuring Chris Brown & Mary J. Blige
Twenty years from now, your kids will see that Chris Brown and Mary J. Blige had a song together. Are we going to be proud to say it was "Another Round?" The track from Fat Joe's unnamed 11th album was a banger in the clubs and made its way to the after-hour R&B stations when Mary J. Blige jumped on the remix. We'd rather subtract one round.

Tibetan food
Tibetan cuisine includes the culinary traditions and practices of Tibet and its peoples, many of whom have found refuge in India and Nepal. It reflects the Tibetan landscape of mountains and plateaus and includes influences from neighbors. It is known for its use of noodles, goat, yak, mutton, dumplings, cheese, butter and soups. Sepen is a Tibetan hot sauce. Tibetan crops must be able to grow at the high altitudes, although a few areas in Tibet are low enough to grow such crops as rice, oranges, bananas, and lemon. The most important crop in Tibet is barley. Flour milled from roasted barley, called tsampa, is the staple food of Tibet, as well as Sha Phaley. Balep is Tibetan bread eaten for breakfast and lunch. There are various other types of balep bread and fried pies. Thukpa is a dinner staple consisting of vegetables, meat, and noodles of various shapes in broth. Tibetan cuisine is traditionally served with bamboo chopsticks, in contrast to other Himalayan cuisines, which are eaten by hand. Small soup bowls are also used by Tibetans, and the rich are known to have used bowls of gold and silver.

Zmudowski State Beach
Zmudowski State Beach is located in Moss Landing in Monterey County, California, United States,[1] operated by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. It is a popular fishing area and tourist attraction. Some of the fish found in this location are the perch, kingfish, sole, flounder, halibut, bocaccio (tomcod), jacksmelt, lingcod, cabezon, salmon, steelhead, and occasional rockfish. The beach features the Pajaro River estuary, where a natural preserve has been set aside for nature and wildlife exploring. Families go to this state beach to picnic and use the beach area. The sandy beach is also popular with bird watchers and equestrians. Horses are only allowed near the waterline. Swimming and water sports such as surfing are hazardous because of strong rip-currents. Coastal erosion has greatly affected Zmudowski State Beach, along with other beaches all over California. Zmudowski State Beach has also been impacted by an influx of marine debris with changes to its wildlife population. Due to these historical changes, Zmudowski State Beach has never been the same.
The beach is located 20 miles northwest of Monterey, off Highway 1. It is accessible via Giberson Road, a two-mile narrow road through agricultural fields.[2]
The beach is named after Watsonville schoolteacher Mary Zmudowski, who donated it to the State of California in the 1950s. It is pronounced "zhmud-OF-ski." [2]The state of California attained a 155-acre parcel from Miss Mary Zudowski in 1950, which included all 9,124 feet of land beside the ocean. The Park Commission changed the name of the park from Pajaro River to Zmudowski in 1952 in order to recognize the contribution this family made.[3] This beach has always been a secret attraction to the Monterey Area. People from all over can come to participate in many of the activities listed above.
Because of the location of Zmudowski State Beach, in Moss Landing, coastal upwelling plays a large part on the beach in the spring and summer. Winds from the north, along the coast blow south past Monterey, causing the surface water to be pushed away, and the water from underneath to rise, or "upwell," and replace the surface water with nutrient rich water.[4] This is why Zmudowski State Beach is such a great place to fish- the water has high biological productivity. Upwelling has fluctuated a lot in the past 20 years, effecting the fishing and wildlife at Zmudowski State Beach. All the upwellings, every spring and summer have been pretty strong, bringing in a lot of plankton and a variety of fishes. This beach is known for its fishing in the Monterey area.
The water upwelling at Zmudowski State Beach has affected wildlife, particularly the fish population. Certain nutrients from the water rise to the surface, and stimulate high plankton productivity of the Monterey Bay region. The high nutrient content, salinity and density make this area perfect for fishing, and attract many anglers. The beach allows and provides year-around recreational fishing opportunities. The Perch fish is the most universally collected fish in Monterey, and there is an abundance of perch fish that exist in Zmudowski State Beach. However, there have been laws and regulations set up to protect the fish population. On a daily basis, one can catch only 20 fish in combination of all other species, with not more than 10 fish of one species. These laws are put into place to prevent extinction of fish populations.[5]
Marine Debris[edit]
Marine debris has been found in the Zmudowski State Beach. Marine debris is man-made solid waste material that enters the marine environment through rivers, streams, drainage, or any other source.[6] Most marine debris is due to land-based resources, such as litter, industrial discharges, and global management. Only 20 percent of the debris found in the ocean comes from commercial fishing ships, cargo ships, or cruise ships. The other 80 percent connects back to pedestrians, motorists, and beach visitors. This clean exotic beach where people come to enjoy and relax is now shifting towards a trash zone. Trash increases the amount of pathogens and chemicals in the water, thereby hurting the water quality. Marine debris prevents swimming and other uses of the water, because of all poisonous toxins. Marine debris is a global pollution issue that is hazardous to wildlife, oceanic habitat, and humans. Birds, fish and mammals think plastic is food, and end up eating this debris. At the Zmudowski beach, animals choke on plastic, which causes them to die of starvation. Sea turtles mix up plastic for jellyfish, and grey whales have been found dead with plastic in their stomachs. As a result, the oceanic animal population is decreasing in the Monterey Bay area.[7]
Environmental Hazard[edit]
Because of the increase of marine debris, Zmudowski State Beach may become less popular among beachgoers, resulting in economic losses. Marine debris endangers humans and can bring them physical harm. There are nails, glass, and syringes sticking out of the ground that cut humans. This problem is making the beach less attractive and enjoyable. Local citizens have organized cleanups to try and resolve this issue. The government is spending millions of dollars to fight litter. West coast communities have also spent about 520,000,000 dollars as well. Many laws have been put in place to try to protect the beach. As the result, it is now illegal to throw plastic into the ocean, and anyone caught doing so will have to pay a fine at Zmudowski State Beach.[8]
Coastal Erosion[edit]
Coastal erosion has greatly impacted the Zmudowski State Beach, and poses many threats to the structure and to the community of the beach. Coastal erosion is the dissolution of land or the removal of beach or dune sediments by wave action, tidal currents, wave currents, or drainage.[9] Erosion rates along the southern Monterey Bay shoreline between Moss Landing and Wharf II in Monterey are the highest in California. Unfortunately, the Zmudowski State Beach is diminishing about 2 feet per year, and it is at extreme risk for erosion destruction in approximately the next fifty years. If this happens, all of the animals that live at the beach will suffer. Rules governing proper techniques when building near the beach have been put in place in order to minimize damage from coastal erosion.[10]
Zmudowski State Beach is a popular fishing destination. Accordingly, Zmudowski State Beach is ranked a three star as a popular fishing destination.[11] Marine debris and coastal erosion must be addressed in order to keep the waters fishable.
Pajaro River Estuary[edit]
Zmudowski State Beach also features the Pajaro River Estuary, where a nature preserve exists. An estuary is quite simply a body of water formed where freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the ocean, mixing with the seawater.[12] Estuaries and tidal wetland systems are some of the most productive and adaptive of Earth's ecosystems. This area surrounding the beach is a tidal wetland, but back 10,000 years ago it did not used to be. The rising sea levels drowned the valley. Thousands of years later, sediment deposition transformed this area into a estuary. The transformation of the land into wetland and marsh actually began after the California Gold Rush. When the Americans arrived they cut down a lot of the trees to clear the land, and sediment continued to transform the wetland. Between 1870 and 1956, many levees were constructed within the Zmudowski Beach Region and near the Pajaro Estuary. The area, mostly salt marsh, decreased by 66% due to the levees. But, the benefit of salt marsh loss was the increase of four habitat types. When the early twentieth century came, more than 90 salt marshes were altered into habitats that man made ponds and marshes containing fresh water. Mid twentieth century the salt marshes continued to decline and were replaced with un-vegetated mudflat. By the late 1950's almost all the salt marshes left were drained and used for agriculture. Today, all the land is used for tourist attraction and is a home for many animals.[13]
Saving Zmudowski[edit]
Earlier this year California had planned on closing 70 parks to cut money from the parks budget, since the deficit is already at $15.7 billion. Luckily, Zmudowski State Beach was saved from being cut because it does not require a lot of money to maintain. Back in 2012, Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill that allowed $10 million to be used for the State Park System. This money will be beyond useful for the two Monterey County Parks- Zmudowski State Beach and Moss Landing State Beach, since they both received no donations.[14]

Advance Hustler (Newspaper) - July 27, 1900, Advance, Indiana ^ THE HUSTLER. ^ Devoted to The Interest of Advance and Surrounding Community. SUBSCRIPTION 75g7V YE/VR. NO. 39. ADVANCE, INDIANA, FRIDAY JULY 27, 1900. VOL. 1. Our Katitat Uttwr. Dear little Hustler please excuse me ,but I thought I would just lom over and have a little chat with you this pleasant afternoon and so I will just sit down right here by this great big desk and hurriedly tell you something of your dear little boys and their doings away out in Southern Kansas. Well, well they are a happy go lucky set and they wei-e having a Jolly good time this afternoon lounging about reading, carpentering and painting and since dinner is over and my chum cook has stolen awa}' to some silent shade to repose for awliile 1 have un-knownly to tliem sped on sil. ent wings to your quiet nook. Now don't open your eyes so wide and ask "who are vou" for I will tell you before T close, perhaps soine of your Advance peo])le will remember me as the " Honolulu Bill" <i>n one o<-<%Tsioii. Well your boys are all right as the Irish story goes' but some of them ai-e badlv out of re-pair, some need new limbs, some new heads some hearts and in fact some needs an entire new body. Such a general mix up mny make a f^mile steal across your face and should I t^ell you some tales out of school vou need not t^ll any one. Well 1 hardly Know where to begin, but I will begin at the greatest and finish with the least, so that Advance wonder J. V-Ross has adopted the Kan' sas ways and admidst his western «.-areer and success he is giving cake walks with the frontier broncos and now carries a sinned shin, the hum of his coffee mill is a musical sonnd with the litpiid n(jtes of his fire steed as a •I)relude and inletude add much charm to the whis])er-ing zephorb as they float o er the great fields of golden grain. And now then (Charlie Thompson, the Irish coniedi-m\ who still wc^ars his Balar-ney smile with a happy-go lucky air, is now a coni-ipetant ]>rofesK()r in the culi-1 nary de]>artnient of the west-1 ern wheat field #ab, where! the weary do rest and the hungry are fc<l.

W^hile Otha Kibby with his head shaved is useful as ornamental and adds much in completing the outfit that is devastating the rich smiles of wealth. And the last and least is poor little Earl, deeply afflicted with lassie heart trouble put is much improved since he has ap])lied a lotion of duty, judgment and good common sence and I trust he may growtobe his own man. Now dont you go to scolding I told you I would not stay long and by the way of explanaliion I am none other than, Kansas Joe. Don't whip a horse when he sttimUeAor slides.

Zac Brown Band 'Jump Right In' to Summer in New Video
Zac Brown Brown jump right into summer with their video for 'Jump Right In.' No surprise there. Actually, they dive right in, headfirst.
Zac Brown Brown jump right into summer with their video for 'Jump Right In.' No surprise there. Actually, they dive right in, headfirst.
After a great first run in Nashville last year, the Southern Ground Music and Food Festival will return to Music City September 27-28, 2013. Of course, Zac Brown Band will be back with a host of friends from country music and other genres to make this year's sensory experience even better.
Sports teams are doing it. Supermodels are doing it. Scotty McCreery's doing it. Everybody's doing the Harlem Shake. The craze has gone viral, slowly making its way to country music.
In a moving tribute to fallen drummer/singer Levon Helm, Zac Brown and Nashville producer T Bone Burnett joined Elton John and Mavis Staples to perform his best-known song, the Band's classic 'The Weight.'
The Grammy Awards continue to be good to Zac Brown Band. There hasn't been a year that the country group has been nominated that they haven't taken home an award, and 2013 was no different. Their new album 'Uncaged' was named Best Country Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards.
Country music promises to set the tone for the 2013 Grammy Awards on Sunday night (Feb. 10), as Taylor Swift will be the first artist to take the stage. Swift kicks off the 8PM CBS broadcast, but -- like so many of the other performances -- what she'll sing is still a mystery.
24-year-old singer Micah Johnson astonished the judges on 'American Idol' by delivering a note-perfect rendition of Zac Brown Band's 'Chicken Fried' -- despite the fact that his voice has been damaged by a surgical mistake.
When the BCS National Championship game airs on Monday (Jan. 7), football fans are in for a real treat. Whether you side with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish or the Alabama Tide, you'll enjoy the pre-game entertainment, as Zac Brown Band is set to sing the National Anthem.
While the power of the Vocal Duo of the Year category has waned in recent years, the Vocal Group of the Year pool at the 2012 CMA Awards is overflowing with talent. How tight is this category? Rascal Flatts weren't even nominated for what seems like the first time since mullets were en vogue. Who do you think will win the Vocal Group of the Year award at the CMAs?
Like with many of their tunes, Zac Brown Band's 'Goodbye in Her Eyes' lyrics were birthed with help from Wyatt Durrette. The songwriter began to write the tune over a decade ago, before taking the song to Brown to finish.
At a show this summer, Zac Brown Band's John Driskell Hopkins watched as one young and possibly inebriated shirtless male fan raced to the front row and quickly retreated. The music played on, the crowd continued to move around like a giant sea anemone, and the fan did it again. Then again, again, and again...

Not a day goes by when I'm working with organizations about how to improve communication and relationships that a complaint about emails comes up as a constant frustration and obstacle to productivity.
One company has decided to take a bold step to do something about the problem. Theirry Breton, CEO of Atos, Europe's largest IT company, plans to put a "zero" email policy in place by 2013. Breton argues that only 10% of the 200 electronic messages his more than 74,000 employees around the globe receive each day turn out to be useful. "The email is no longer the appropriate communication tool," says Breton, "It's time to think differently." Instead, Breton wants Atos employees to use chat-type of electronic communication similar to social networking platforms such as Facebook or Twitter. In a similar move, Volkswagen Company in Germany has decided to stop sending emails to certain employees after work hours.

I put three pistols and some ammo in my range bag and headed out back for a little ballistic therapy. I haven't shot any .22 pistols in a while and haven't shot this K-22 at all . And I read in another thread how someone had problems getting LSWC to feed in "45's", so I wanted to see how it would feed in that new CCO I just got. I know it feeds fine in the three 1911's I built and I know it feeds fine in all my GCNM's, but the GCNM's were designed to be target pistols firing light loads. I was real curious how it would feed in a pistol I've only run a few mags of 230 gr plated through and that has the feedramp on the barrel. As I suspected, no problem at all.
The players
Some pics of my range bag. It has a spotting scope in there, too, that fits across the bottom of one compartment. You can see the tripod case in the one pic.
One mag through my ruger Mk II at 12 yds. No surprises here except the flyer.
Two cylinders through the S&W at 12 yds, single action. Ouch
Then another shooting DA. I seem to do a lot better shooting it DA. That's weird. That's not how I remember revolver shooting to be, lol.
And 12 shots with the Dan Wesson. I seem to be a touch high, or maybe it was the 200 gr LSWC's. A few rounds found the same hole, which is always nice to see.

Okay my name's Wale they probably know me from the you know
from Wale (Ft. Gucci Mane & Weensey) – Pretty Girls Lyrics on Genius
Wale's catch phrase. Throughout his career, he has said "Name Wale, prolly know me from the rap." After saying that on many tracks, fans know where they know Wale from. Hence, why he didn't feel like mentioning it in the line.

I've made a few pairs of pants before and been planning to make more for a while, but to be honest, they scare me. Especially the fly. I wanted to make a pair of colourful skinnyish cords. I found this fabric a few years ago at an op shop, so it was the perfect choice.
I used Simplicity's Amazing Fit 1696, and the pattern really is amazing – it has slim, average, and curvy fit for different hip and bum sizes. I used the slim fit, and the cut is really good. I narrowed the fit of the legs a bit, and I think when I make them again I need to bring the waistband in just a little bit, but I think they're the best pair of pants I've made. And the fly went together much better than the last time I did one!
