The waves were small and sweet, and on my fifth or sixth try, I miraculously caught one. Crouched in fear and elation, I rode the wave in, a little too far, as it turned out; as Aaron had warned us, there were some sharp rocks on the bottom. I ended up with a slightly cut foot—but was so "stoked" that I barely felt it and immediately paddled back out.
Afterward we took over a restaurant on the beach, and Scott, one of the friendly Lagunans, bought a big dorado from the back of a fisherman's pickup for the restaurant to grill. As I opened my second bottle, it seemed a shame to me that anyone ever has to drink Corona beer anywhere besides a Mexican beach. Margot arrived with a new collection of striped market bags just as the fish was coming off the grill.
If only all of our meals had been that good. Costa Azul's restaurant opened onto the beach but its kitchen often seemed understaffed, its menu needlessly elaborate. One night, Enrique, the chef, staged a feast, with tiny sopes, chicken tamales, chiles rellenos, crisp flautas, and, for dessert, fried bananas wrapped in a tortilla and sprinkled with cinnamon. Three nights later, he somehow ran out of chicken, corn tortillas, and, apparently, help, as we waited more than an hour for food. Also, oddly, there was no kids' menu. However, nothing we tried—strawberries, lettuce, unpeeled tomatoes, ice (gingerly at first, but after a day or so, without concern)—made anyone sick, and much of the food was terrific, such as the pico de gallo salad, done with fresh orange, jicama, cucumber, chile powder, salt, and lime.
Perhaps the best thing about the restaurant was the fabulous menu of live music. Every other night it was different: mariachis, an ensemble of regional folk dancers, and, unexpectedly great, a local gypsy trio that included a German, a Swede, and a Mexican (Gitans Blonds was the name of their CD). We all loved every band, Nell in particular; she danced solo, or with the Laguna gang, stopping to eat only during their breaks.
When we heard that Daly and Jesús, our kayak guide, were planning to attend the rodeo in Sayulita, we had to go, too. Inside the low concrete arena we saw a little rodeo and a lot of pageantry: bull-riding contestants would explode into the ring, and, because in Mexico they're allowed to use both hands, hang on for a good long ride. For big intervals in between, we were entertained by a brass salsa band with an unbelievably large wall of speakers on a stage awash in artificial smoke. The Sunday-night affair was notable for the consumption of exotica—we ate elote (corn cut from the cob and mixed with sour cream and chile powder), pepino (cucumber spears, served in a plastic bag), and local oranges, and drank Modelo beer, watching as everyone else tossed their empty cans into the arena. The crowd included couples, a few families, and men out with their buddies. "That man is drunk," I found myself explaining to the children for the first time. As the sun set, colored lights illuminated the band, which seemed to conspire with the rodeo announcer to fill every available moment of silence. We ended the evening in Sayulita with a round of rides and chocolaty churros at a traveling carnival.

All Clock Hands Are Not Standardized !
Our American made hour and minute hands are sold in pre-matched pairs. Your primary concern is with the length of the minute hand. Minute hands are measured from the center of the mounting hole to the tip of the hand. Normally, minute hands and second hands are about the same length. Hour hands are normally 2/3 the length of the matching minute hands. Please remember that all of our hands can be easily trimmed to a shorter length, and that the hands listed in this section have been made to fit all American "I" shaft movement configuration, which are used on most (but not all) battery operated quartz movements.
"Hands that are 7" or longer will require that a high Torque movement be used".
The American "I" shaft hand configuration is fairly easy to identify without taking careful measurements. On all American "I" shaft movements, the mounting hole in the minute hand is "oblong with two flat sides", and the hour hand hole is round. The American "I" shaft configuration is used on most (but not all) battery and electric movements. It is not used on mechanical movements. The American "I" shaft configuration also requires a small round nut to hold the minute hand in place.
The most important thing to remember about all clock hands is that they are not standardized, and the mounting holes in the hands themselves are actually measured to with one thousandth of an inch! It is often easier to match the movement to the hands then it is to match the hands to the movement.
The hands listed in this section will fit any of the movements shown on our web site, except for those movements which show a selection of hands with the movements themselves.
If you choose any gold finish hands, please be sure to remove the plastic coating before use. If you wish to paint your hands another color, please choose a black style, as they are easier to paint. All of our black hands are white on the reverse side.

We have 3 crepe myrtles in our front flower beds. After pruning last year, I looked at the pile of limbs laying on the ground and realized that they looked very similar to the decorative limbs I had seen at various hobby stores. So I gathered some up for future use. This winter I decided I needed an arrangement of some sort to fill space on the mantle. I had a few red berry floral stems that I bought last year for another project and a vase that my sister gave me when she moved. I took some of the crepe myrtle limbs and trimmed them to the length I needed, tossed in the red berries and voila my winter arrangement appeared.
I like that it is simple and wintery. But the best part is that it cost me $0 because I had everything on hand. It doesn't get better than FREE!
I like how it fills in the space on the right side of the mantle.
Have you ever used "yard trash" as a thrifty decoration in your home?

Above Arctic oil reserves: old ways, satellite dishes
The House votes this week on drilling in the ANWR
Sitting up front in a flat-bottomed metal boat, his hunting rifle by his side, Danny Gemmill peers through binoculars. He's looking for caribou or moose, which make up most of the diet for people downriver in the Gwich'in tribal village where he lives.
Back at the outboard motor, Charlie Swaney, Danny's father-in-law, tugs his cap down against the light rain and chill. It's after 10 p.m. and still very light here more than 100 miles above the Arctic Circle. The two hunters head up the Chandalar River, where they'll spend the night under a canvas tent in the shadow of the Brooks Range, ignoring pterodactyl-sized mosquitoes for which Alaskan summers are infamous.
The atmosphere here is remote and still, about as far as one can imagine from the crowded hustle of the Lower 48 states. But this wilderness environment is the center of a national political firestorm that pits oil companies (and their friends in high office) against a pristine area environmentalists call "America's Serengeti."
In the middle are Indians like Mr. Swaney and Mr. Gemmill, whose society and culture based on subsistence hunting and fishing, stand squarely in the face of the dominant society's appetite for oil.
The US House of Representatives is expected to vote this week on opening up a portion of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil drilling. In the face of general public opposition, pro-drilling forces face an uphill battle, particularly now that Democrats control the Senate.
But geologists estimate that there could be a significant amount of oil beneath the coastal plain of ANWR, up along the Beaufort Sea and just east of the Prudhoe Bay facilities that have been sending oil south through the Trans Alaska Pipeline since 1977. And even if lawmakers defer drilling for now, the issue is unlikely to go away.
The Bush administration sees ANWR's oil as an important part of its boost-supply approach to energy policy. And it's eager to send in the drillers, even if (as critics assert) there is only enough economically recoverable oil there to fuel the United States for six months and it would take 10 years to start pumping it into American fuel tanks.

A little birdy told me that Diggy Simmons can sing just as well as he can rap. Then, I was magically put in a situation where I heard a little snippet of him singing and the birdy did not lie. But, when I had the chance to sit down and talk to Diggy about his singing, he would not budge. Just when I thought labels weren't developing artists anymore, here comes Diggy. His team has been doing an amazing job with him and his flow has grown tremendously since his mixtapes. His voice has changed and, on top of that, they are giving him the best of the best media training — you will see in the video below how poised he is and how he refused to give up any information about his singing. So much for my exclusive right?
When I talk about singing, I'm not talking about that emo mess that Drake does, or that auto-tune infused mess that Kanye West does. The kid sounds really good and hopefully you all will get a chance to hear it soon enough since his debut album is expected to drop before the end of the year. An album in which he tells me is "spectacular."
With us hitting the 10-year anniversary of Aaliyah's death, we also talked about his favorite Aaliyah songs, being a second-generation hip hopper, and his upcoming Scream Tour with Hamilton Park, Mindless Behavior, Jacob Latimore, The New Boyz, and the OMG Girlz. (See tour dates below.)

text: Powdery Mildew -During 1998, some orchards saw more powdery mildew than in previous years primarily because the previous winter and last spring were favorable for disease development (i.e., relatively warm temperatures). The fungus overwinters as mycelium predominantly in the apical buds of vegetative shoots. Winter temperatures of below -11F negatively impact overwintering inoculum by killing the bud in which the fungus overwinters and thus the mycelium dies. The colder temperatures we have experienced this winter can be expected to kill some of the overwintering inoculum but, if you had an increase in the disease last year and have highly susceptible cultivars such as Ginger Gold, Cortland, Gala, Paulared, Idared, Rome Beauty, Granny Smith, or Jonathan, you may have to target at least two sprays at managing this disease, particularly if we have another warm spring. [It is interesting to note that Ginger Gold is to powdery mildew, as Jersey Mac is to scab - very susceptible.]The most effective fungicides for powdery mildew are the SI fungicides (Bayleton, Nova, Procure and Rubigan). They will provide good control when applied from bloom through the time when the apical bud sets on vegetative terminals (about 24 days past Petal Fall). During this period, the Petal Fall and 1st Cover sprays are particularly important in mildew management because they coincide with the period of active shoot growth. Note that all of the SIs listed except Bayleton are effective against apple scab, so, if you are applying SIs for scab, you will be getting the added benefit of mildew management. However, as indicated under the apple scab section of this newsletter, SIs should be used judiciously to curb the development of scab resistance. Please note that sulfur is an alternative mildew fungicide. It also is effective against powdery mildew but applications have to begin earlier (i.e., Tight Cluster) and, because of short residual activity, reapplied every 7 days for good results under high disease pressure. Benlate and Topsin-M have been used against powdery mildew but it has been reported in New York that they have provided poor control in orchards in recent years. Please note that mildew will only infect young, immature tissue. Once the leaves harden off, the threat of infection is gone. If you are not sure what the symptoms of the disease looks like and have access to the Internet, the Vermont Apple IPM Focus web page (http://orchard.uvm.edu/uvmapple/pest/) has a link under "Apple Diseases" to West Virginia University's Index of Apple Disease Photographs and Biologies. There are a number of good pictures at that site that illustrate powdery mildew symptoms.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
FOR COMMENT - US/CANADA - Negotiating a increased Perimeter Security
Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMT

The foreign ministers from Canada and Mexico will be meeting with US
Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton in Ottawa on Dec. 13. On the table is
the formation of the "Beyond the Border Working Group", a group that would
address US perimeter security concerns in Canada (while Mexico has its own
arrangements with the US and Canada, it will not be involved in this
working group). According to CTV, which has access to a document outlining
the proposal, the working group will be discussing cooperation over issues
such as; cargo security, border screening, cross-border information
sharing, increased working relationship between the militaries and
collaboration on preventing and recovering from cyber attacks.
This planned meeting follows a report issued by the Canadian Chamber of
Commerce that emphasizes the negative impact that discords between US and
Canadian regulations have on Canadian (and US) companies that rely on
cross-border trade. In the conclusion of the Chamber's report , they say
"Modern security challenges necessitate pushing back the
border by identifying threats
long before they arrive. Such a perimeter approach to
security allows for the identification
of threats long before they reach North American shores."
The idea of "perimeter security" in North America is nothing new. Since
the founding of the United States, Canada has been seen as an integral
part of US security. The fact that the two countries share the longest,
unprotected border in the world is indicative of the trust that the US and
Canada have in each other's ability to prevent major security threats from
spilling over into the other country.
Security cooperation between the US and Canada is very tight. The US
Transportation Security Agency, which is responsible for screening
passengers boarding flights in the US, also operates in Canada, screening
passengers bound for the US. The US and Canadian militaries cooperate in
monitoring and guarding North American air space at NORAD (North American
Aerospace Defense Command) and in October, we saw Canadian air force
escort a jet into US air space and hand it off to US fighter jets during
the <package bomb scare LINK> targeting UPS and FedEx. Another example is
the <arrest of Abdirahman Ali Gaall LINK>, a Somali man en route from
Paris to Mexico City and who had a US warrant out for his arrest. Canadian
authorities forced the plane to make an unscheduled stop in Montreal in
order to take the man off of the plane and arrest him. All of these
examples (plus many more) exemplify the cooperation between US and
Canadian law enforcement agencies and militaries.
Despite the high level of security cooperation already in place the US has
been increasing security measures along all of its ports of entry -
including those along the Canadian border - since 9/11. The 9/11 attacks
even caused the US to take the unprecedented step of closing the border
with Canada, a move that highlighted the economic importance of
cross-border trade.
According to the US Census Bureau, the US received nearly 75% of Canada's
exports in 2009. This number has been gradually declining over the years,
but it will likely be a long time before any of Canada's other trading
partners reach parity with the US. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce report
stressed the importance of coordinating efforts between US and Canadian
authorities along the border to ensure that trade is not impeded by
security measures put in place by the US. A Vancouver Sun report from Dec.
10 estimates that extra security costs have cost Canadian manufacturers
the equivalent of 2-3% of total trade; an estimated $400 - 700 million.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce report suggests that integrating the US
and Canada's security measures could reduce these costs.
This is where the cross border relations, along with the job of the
"Beyond the Border Working Group", get more complicated. The US-Canadian
relationship is not an equal one. It is clear that US policy carries more
weight in North America, just as it carries more weight virtually every
where else on the globe. So when discussions about expanding the security
perimeter around North America come up, it is assumed that the US will set
the tone for just what kind of security measures will be set in place.
This causes concerns over basic sovereignty in Canada. Controlling ones
borders is one of the most basic rights of statehood - it's even one of
the definitions of a sovereign nation. Certainly the US won't be dictating
to Canada how it run its borders, but it will certainly use the importance
of trade (along with its military dominance) as leverage against Canada to
adopt security measures more in line with US preference.
By doing this, the US can push threats back beyond its own border to
Canada's borders. A border is a physical demarcation that separates the
jurisdictions of different laws and policies. It's not yet clear what
specific laws and or policies the "Beyond Borders Working Group" will be
discussing, but any border security measures that bring Canadian laws and
policy closer in line to existing US policy will effectively be shifting
pressure on the US border out to Canada's border. Like the US, Canada also
enjoys the advantage of having two oceans as its buffer and can regulate
nearly all of its non-US inbound traffic through highly regulated airports
and seaports.
Despite the overwhelming similarities already existing between the two
countries, differences most certainly do exist. Differences in visa
requirements, asylum requirements and embargoes (Canada's trade with Cuba
comes to mind) all constitute practical policy differences between the US
and Canada. Again, these policies are not necessarily on the table (The
Canadian Chamber of Commerce is calling for much smaller scale policy
recommendations revolving around "preferred trader" licenses for Canadian
exporters) but exemplify why the US very much still has an interest in
securing its border with Canada.
Ultimately, policy integration in order to streamline trade (similar to
what the EU has done for integrating the European markets) tends to favor
those with the most power. In the case of the US and Canada hammering out
agreements on perimeter security, the more powerful is the US.

Bonnie of Minneapolis, MN. writes:
I am alot of problems with my hip laying on my side. WE just got a Beautyrest and it is still too hard for my hips. How do you know what mattress to get?
Hi Bonnie,
That is the ultimate question. The true answer is, "You don't".
Even trying them in the store doesn't help much. A mattress you get delivered, that is newly made, is tighter and firmer...feels different from the floor samples, which have already broken in.
This, I believe, is the problem you're encountering.
The Beautyrest, in general, is a good choice for a hip problem. Your mattress will soften up in time. Right now, you're faced with two opions...paying for an exchange, if your retailer offers one....or, getting a topper to soften the surface of the one you have. They are likely to cost the same, so the smart money is in going with a topper. Latex toppers are the best of them. A 2" soft latex topper makes for a very comfortable surface.
Thanks, Pete
Order on-line...by clicking the model name of the mattress you want...
or call and order by phone.

Inventor Pro 2012, in case it matters.
Our company might buy a steel slab as a part.
I will take that slab part and put it into an assembly for machining. I would like to try to follow current company policy and capture the machining as a part.
For instance, we will bore a thru hole as a port, a concentric cbore for a ring (to be added in the next-level-assembly) and a hole circle for a CL150 or CL300 bolt circle (for studs, to be added in the next-level assembly).
Is there any way I can have a "part" that is completely negative features (hole, cbore, circular bolt pattern) that I can assemble to my slab and have the material removed?
I'd really like the "negative part" idea, but I'm open to a workflow that uses derivation of some sort.
Thanks for any hints you can offer.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by mrattray. See the answer in context.
I'm not familiar with ProE, but that sounds alot like an iFeature.
Just an idea not sure if it will give you what your after, but you could create the slab with the machined holes ect in it. Then use view representations to hide the stock slab and show the machined slab.
Look at "Derived" parts if you wish to have a separate part number for each level.
I don't think there is any form of a "negative part", but I'm sure we can come up with another solution if you describe for us what it is you're hoping to accomplish with these "negative parts".
Is it just to be able to show in a drawing both the unmachined slab and the finished product? If that's the case then an iPart would be great for this. Just make one row of the table the machined version with all features active and the other row the purchased version with only the base slab active.
If you want to be able to "drop" this hole patern and c'bore feature into other parts then iFeature is what you're after.
Or are you after something else?

I suppose you could have a mult-body solid of the material to be removed - then insert into the stock file and Combine - Cut, but I don't really understand the workflow you are after.
Thank you for the ideas.
Selective suppression / reps would be rather "weighty" because each slab can have up to 4 ports (thru hole/cbore/BC combination) and each port can take some 6 different forms.
I like the idea of an iFeature, but I get mixed up in all of the parent/child relationships. The thru hole is referenced off of the default datum planes and the front surface. The cbore is concentric but on the back surface. The BC seed is a sketch point ref'd off of the thru hole plus an angle off of vertical. The first hole is a tapped hole on that point and then circular patterned concentric to the thru hole.
As you can see, I've isolated as many references to the thru hole as I can, but the front/back surfaces have me flummoxed.
If there is a really good iFeature tutorial, I'd like to see it. The only one I've found is that silly T-slot tut that imports a sketch. This is 'way beyond that.
As for workflow, my designers will be erectorsetting a machine. They will get something like "use a B model size 5 slab, port 1 will be drill code GH, port 2 will be drill code HR, port 3 & 4 will be blank". The drill code is a combination of thru hole/cbore/BC pattern and chamfer. I want to have them bring up the B model size 5 slab and "drop in" a drill code.
Do iFeatures go this far?
That multibody idea that popped up as I was writing this might be what I'm after.
So as to avoid having a huge debate "thing" on this post, perhaps if someone has a reference to an advanced iFeature tut they could share, I'll research that and the multibody idea, then report back what I've found.
I was perusing some of the derived part stuff suggested and I remembered exactly what I am after.
If anyone is familiar with Creo / ProE, there is a method called User Defined Feature, or UDF. A series of features are grouped together and any references external to the features are "tagged" when the UDF is created. Then those features are promted when the UDF is placed on a new part. The prompted selections resolve all dependancies for the features.
Does Inventor have functionality similar to this?
I'm not familiar with ProE, but that sounds alot like an iFeature.
Thanks for all the pointers. I had tried iFeatures before, but they did not work. Now that I am a bit more familiar with Inventor, I can see that it was the pattern I used for the bolt circle that was failing me. Why iFeatures do not support circular patterns of holes is beyond my ken to understand.
Instead of modelling a threaded hole and then patterning it, I sketched a center point and patterned within the sketch. then I added holes, using the sketch points as centers.
The upshot is... now I've got my functionality using iFeatures.
I still need some work pretty-ing up the prompts and perhaps tavbling some inputs... but the core functionality appears to be working.
Thanks to all for your input.
Ah, but alas....
iFeatures are only for part files.
I'll just have to make it work.

Reports by McKinsey, the consultancy, have been some of the most powerful forces in building the economic argument for improved gender parity in the workforce.
This month, McKinsey publishes Unlocking the Full Potential of Women in the US Economy, a report that explores why, in spite of all the well-acknowledged economic arguments, highly skilled women still do not progress up the career ladder. (more…)
