Progress Report
Pilot Phase
The Support My School Campaign kicked off with a pilot phase whereby two schools one in Sonepat and one in Rajasthan have implemented the project. 1st School under the Pilot Phase – Sonepat, Haryana.
School type: (Govt/Municipal/Pvt etc)
Name of the School
Government Secondary school Jhundpur
Jhundpur Village, Sonepat district, Haryana
No of students
460 children
Staff Strength

Profile of Sonepat School before the campaign intervention
The secondary school in village Jhundpur is situated in a remote area of Sonepat District of Haryana. Most of the villagers are farmers and daily labourers. Most of the students in this sschool belong to these families. There are certain problems in the schools pertaining to water, sanitation, and sports facilities. Providing facilities like adequate and clean toilets, drinking water, and play ground can bring significant changes in the life of children and motivate them to stay back and thus reduce drop-outs. This will also add to the overall quality of education in the school and its environment.
CAf partnered with Navjyoti Development Society (NDS) to implement the project in this school. NDS as been working in the area for last one and half year and focusing on health issues like women and child health, OPD facility, awareness and building linkages with other agencies. School adolescent education program is one of the important components of the project which focuses on health and hygiene issue, life skill development and reproductive system.
Through Support My School Campaign the focus was to be on infrastructure particularly water harvesting, sports, sanitation and plantation in the school.
The project benefits initially to 400 children with an increase in enrollment every consecutive year. The focus is on children studying in the school. 400 children will be direct beneficiaries. Apart from this the school community-teachers, support staff will also benefit from this.

School Management Committee & Parent Teacher Committee
Profile of the school before the Intervention
The proposed villages are characterized by extremely low literacy levels with average family size of 7-8 members and around 400-450 households. Education is not a priority concern and schools suffer from low attendance and enrolment rates of children of school going age. Social and religious barriers constrain the members of the community, particularly women from accessing facilities for education. Most of children from this community are first generation learners. Student teacher ratio is high. The infrastructural facilities within the schools have been far from satisfactory with no access to potable water, proper drainage systems for rain water outflow (as during the rainy seasons the schools remain submerged in water for number of months) compelling the schools to be run at makeshift places, more so the class rooms require renovations, poor sanitation facilities due to choked toilets with scarce water facilities, the school ground is nearly barren without trees and is not properly landscaped to conserve water at a designated location for reuse during water scarcity.
The direct beneficiaries will be approximately 118 children of Govt. Primary School, Bibipur. The indirect beneficiaries are other children and the families in the catchment area and then many local children who are not part of the school will also get benefit in future through SARD's other activities.
Post Intervention
· 118 children have gained access to potable drinking water facility in their school.
· The Rainwater harvesting structure has been set up which not only meet the needs of water during acute summer but also demonstrate the new technique in the villages for storage of water and allow the schools to remain free from drainage problems during rainy season.
· Toilet facility has been set up in the school with adequate water and enhancing the personal hygiene and sanitation levels of children
· Five class rooms have been renovated with new window panes, doors, black boards etc and also with the concept of Building and Learning Aid (BaLa).
· Tree plantation and landscaping have also helped to improve the environment of the school and children will learn about the safety of environment.
· 118 children will get better sports material and children will be able to participate in sports events at Block and District level. These sports equipment and material will also ensure joyful learning within the school and ensure retention of the children for continuing their education without drop outs.
Community Involvement
The families of children viz., the parents, school administration shall be motivated and involved in the infrastructural enhancement initiatives by strengthening existing Parent teacher committees and the School management committees.gement committees. The community will be actively involved in protection of the assets created and also in excavation, construction and plantation works.
Sustainability Plan
In addition to the local community stakeholders, the members of the School management committee, the local educational authorities will also be involved to ensure future protection and maintenance of created assets by forming a users' community in the form of a neighborhood committee and advocate with administration to allocate funds for future protection and maintenance. This will ensure continued maintenance and protection of assets created.
Thank you. Your contribution will help shape the future of many children.

Geraldine Quinn MDMA: Modern Day Maiden Aunt
Review by Mika Tsoi
If you would like to introduce someone to cabaret, this is a good show to start. It exemplifies what the genre's capabilities. Quinn penned a show about her role in relation to nineteen nieces and nephews and it kicks ass. Her lyrics and jokes are biting, with turns of phrase like 'despair cocktail' and 'rudimentary swamp limbs' are peppered throughout. The spoken parts of the show are strong and almost equal to the rage, vulnerability, doubt, discontent and joy in the songs. Quinn channels palpable energy into her examination of being an aunt, and the resulting show is worth your time and money.

Ruth's long-time attorney, Matthew Destry, didn't dispute any of the allegations in the Talerico and Swain cases. Yet, incredibly, Ruth was able to walk away from both a free man. Destry's argument in court filings: Yes, Ruth took the money, but he didn't intend to commit fraud. In short, Destry argued, it wasn't a criminal matter but a business blunder.
The Talerico charge was dropped by Broward prosecutor Greg Rossman. Rossman laments the fact that fraud artists like Ruth often walk. "I have to prove criminal intent, and in mortgage fraud it is very difficult to do that," Rossman says. "You and I know it's wrong, you and I know they intended to take the money, but I can't prove it. In that case we knew the judge would grant his motion to dismiss."
The Swain case, however, was dropped by Judge Broome for another reason: Palm Beach prosecutor Preston Mighdoll made a technical error in a court filing. Mighdoll says Broome found a minor mistake in his answer to Destry's motion to dismiss. Broome also dropped the violation-of-probation charge against Ruth, so he got off scot-free.
But Ruth's probation officer, Janine Calabrese, continued to hear complaints. Her notes on Ruth reveal that she heard from many of his victims, ranging from neighbors duped into giving Ruth money for bogus real-estate investments to a Fort Lauderdale jewelry store that complained Ruth had written $6000 in bad checks for diamond rings. Many victims complained to police and prosecutors, but their allegations were rarely investigated. Ruth took advantage of loopholes in the law that served to protect him from prosecution. For instance he postdated bad checks to the jewelry store. He would also often reimburse investors with postdated rubber checks. When the victims went to police, they learned the ugly truth: Prosecutors in Florida will not criminally try check-kiting or fraud cases when the checks are postdated. "You simply can't win a conviction in those cases," says Rossman, who is in charge of Broward's economic-crime-prosecution unit. "It's not a crime because the victim knows when he receives the check that the perpetrator didn't have the money in his account."
As Ruth kept scamming people, Calabrese seemed helpless: "My hands are tied," she wrote in her notes. Even when victims took Ruth to civil court, a time-consuming and costly process, they found no justice. If they won judgments, Ruth followed his old m.o. of simply not paying them. Instead he hid from everyone -- judges, Calabrese, detectives, and victims -- by moving from motel to motel.
Ruth also flouted the criminal court, not only by repeatedly breaking the rules of his probation but also by failing to pay restitution. In late 1998 Calabrese charged Ruth with violations for failing to reimburse Beneficial Finance and moving without permission. At the court hearing on January 22, 1999, Ruth conceded guilt, and Broome ordered him to enter the Probation Restitution Center (PRC), a halfway house in West Palm Beach. Ruth agreed to begin residing at the PRC on February 15, and Broome let him go free.
Ruth never showed up at the PRC. Instead he called Calabrese and said he'd been working his "butt off" doing "bridal shows" around the state and couldn't slow down to move into a halfway house. The next day, on February 16, Ruth's girlfriend, Masseo, called Calabrese and told her that Ruth wasn't in the bridal business but was working at an investment firm in Miami called Barclays. Masseo was angry with her boyfriend; she claimed he'd charged thousands of dollars on her credit card and wouldn't repay her.
In March 1999 Ruth was hit with two new charges: contempt of court in a civil case and another probation violation. He disappeared again. Then came the FBI investigation, and finally Nass arrested him on the probation warrant March 15, 2000. Six weeks later, on April 29, Ruth was indicted on the federal fraud charges. But he wouldn't remain incarcerated long. The FBI struck a plea deal with him on May 3, 2000. In the agreement, Ruth pledged to cooperate fully with the FBI on other criminal cases, and the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office promised to recommend that he be given a light sentence. On May 8, Ruth was allowed to bond out of jail.
He remained free until January 24 of this year, when U.S. District Judge Wilkie Ferguson sentenced him to 33 months in prison -- the lightest sentence possible under federal guidelines. But rather than serve the time, the FBI, along with assistant U.S. attorney Jeffrey Kay, asked Ferguson to allow Ruth to remain free. The judge obliged. "Execution of the sentence was postponed in view of [Ruth's] cooperation..., which may result in a reduction of the sentence," the agency wrote in court documents.
Nass's testimony in Judge Marra's courtroom was soon proved right: Ruth was still a danger to the community. According to FBI court filings, Ruth did cooperate in some unspecified telemarketing cases, but he initially kept quiet about an alleged scam he helped create.
Ruth began a new illicit venture in November 2000, when he answered an ad in the Sun-Sentinel that sought investors and fundraisers. The businessman who placed the ad, a Canadian national named David L'Hoir, had recently moved to Fort Lauderdale from San Diego and planned to start a new cash-advance company called Payday Today USA. L'Hoir (pronounced "lwyre"), who had previously owned a string of check-cashing stores in California, says he needed millions of dollars to get the company off the ground.

For decades, Albania was an isolated backwater ruled by a dictator, Enver Hoxha, who refused to let anyone in or out of his sad little hellhole. Even after communism collapsed and the borders cracked, the war in neighboring Kosovo and gun-toting thugs kept the Adriatic nation a shadowland. What a difference a few years makes. Sandwiched between the former Yugoslavian republic of Montenegro to the north and Greece to the south, Albania today is rapidly playing catch-up, thanks to stabilization agreements with the European Union that dumped more than $700 million into the country.
That's good news for us: it's every bit as beautiful as Croatia, far less polished, and home to a nascent adventure-tourism industry. Roads are slowly improving. New trails already wend through the rugged 8,000-foot Albanian Alps in the north, where villagers are using German development grants to convert sleepy stone huts into cozy guesthouses. The wind whips around archaeological sites like Antigone in the south, which you can have entirely to yourself. And you can find some of the longest wild beaches in the Adriatic here. Development and tourism are on the way—about 2.5 million visitors came last year, compared with just over 500,000 a decade ago. But for now, the country occupies that precious sweet spot: there are a million reasons to go, yet no one really does.
THE TRIP: Row Adventures offers new nine-day trips this summer to sea-kayak between coves near Himare and hike through the Zagoria Valley around 4,500-foot Dhembeli Pass, in the Albanian Alps. From $2,750.

The 20 Most Slept-On Underground Rap Projects Of 2013
Maxo Kream – Quiccstrikes
For a guy who's got sizzurp dripping off his beard and eyes glowing the same color on the cover, Maxo Kream is a lot more on point than you'd expect him to be. Fresh off the streets of Houston, Texas, Maxo wears his doubletime flow like a Roley, lowkey like he was born with it. Through 14 tracks, there's nary a slow flow to be found, as if he's living too fast to stop and dumb it down for you.
Instead, we get taken for a ride through the shadows. "Lewinsky" and "Whitney Houston" were two early Youtube favorites that popped before this tape dropped (including the intro, notice the overt Lil' B influence?); "Hella Yellas" is what happens when Art of Noise sniffs speed; guests like A$AP Ant and Le$ provide contrasts in tempo, but even on a song called "Purple City Stars", Maxo's rapidfire wins out. He's frenetic, high-energy, and fun to listen to. That's more than you can say for most of today's hypebeast blog rappers.

Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Listen to my words, Lord; consider my sighing. | 1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. |
2 Pay attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to You. | 2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. |
3 At daybreak, Lord, You hear my voice; at daybreak I plead my case to You and watch expectantly. | 3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. |
4 For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil cannot lodge with You. | 4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. |
5 The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all evildoers. | 5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. |
6 You destroy those who tell lies; the Lord abhors a man of bloodshed and treachery. | 6 You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors. |
7 But I enter Your house by the abundance of Your faithful love; I bow down toward Your holy temple in reverential awe of You. | 7 But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple. |
8 Lord, lead me in Your righteousness, because of my adversaries; make Your way straight before me. | 8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies-- make straight your way before me. |
9 For there is nothing reliable in what they say; destruction is within them; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongues. | 9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit. |
10 Punish them, God; let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them out because of their many crimes, for they rebel against You. | 10 Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you. |
11 But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them shout for joy forever. May You shelter them, and may those who love Your name boast about You. | 11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. |
12 For You, Lord, bless the righteous one; You surround him with favor like a shield. | 12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. |

I would like to ask about your appliance garage layout and how you did it. What would you definitely keep and what would be re-worked with the setup if you could make changes? I'm looking for tips for the layout and any functional issues with this concept. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm pretty happy with mine. I didn't want a bifold door on it because I wanted full access to the width, but I could not convince my cabinet maker to put in a liftable door (not sure what it's called). He was sure that it wouldn't lift up high enough to not have it be a head banger when open. The bifolds are ok, but sometimes I wish the door wasn't there. At some point, I changed the design so that there was counter in front of it and I'm very happy I did that. It makes the whole vanity usable, so I can set something there if needed and gives me a place to pull things out onto the counter to use or see them better. I mostly use it for a jewelry cleaner, which keeps my retainers clean and my Sonicare and Mentadent dispenser. I don't really use a hair dryer too often, but it's plugged in and ready to go. Oh, I also put in double outlets, just so I'd have enough. Hope this helps. |
Thank you, Olychick. How deep is your vanity and your tower above that has your garage? My plans are to make am 18" vanity with a 12 or 13" tower on top with the garage on the lower part of the tower. Like yours, I think. Unless I get some new info that deters me from this plan. |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Sat, Apr 6, 13 at 18:38
I originally planned to do a 15" w tower and had my cabinetmaker draw plans. He was also going to recess it into the wall 3 inches like a medicine cabinet, so consider that if you do use a tower. Then I mocked it up with boxes and tried to put my blow dryer through the "door". It felt tight and took more precision to get it in and out than I was willing to give. |
Thanks May-flowers, my tower would probably be wider than 15" but only as deep as a typical upper cabinet. I can't recess into a wall because it will be against an exterior wall with the layout I am considering. I like your mock up idea, I will put my plan into action and see what I think. |
- Posted by treasuretheday (My Page) on Sat, Apr 6, 13 at 21:45
My upper cabinets have two doors and adjustable shelves. The lower sections have outlets for my hair appliances. I really, really like being able to keep things out of sight but convenient. |
Enduring, here are the dimensions. The vanity is 22.5" deep and 70" long, the tower is 15.5" deep and 23" wide. It goes all the way to the ceiling and the upper shelf holds one of those giant sized tp packages. Hope this helps. |
Treasure thanks for showing the outlets, it really helps to visualize the setup. What color paint do you have on your walls? I've been considering doing a walnut cabinet in this room, or a cherry. Your warmish walls go so nicely with the colors in your room. Edited to say that I saw (treasure) your paint color on the Bathroom reveal thread that Hoboken started. Olychick, thanks for the dimensions. I am planning on a 23" upper as it stands now. My vanity will be total 60" with the tower on top of the right side. I was thinking of only going 18" deep to open the room up a bit, but I am having trouble finding a sink that will fit, and that I like. If I only had some remnant soapstone laying about :) |

Parcel & Journey: The Ultimate Do-Good Holiday Gifts
Digital Writer
This Christmas and Hanukkah shopping season, you don't need to spend hours upon hours digging around craft fairs, flea markets and thousands of Etsy storefronts to find your loved ones a truly unique gift. New e-tailer Parcel & Journey's founder, Joanna Steinberg, has saved you the legwork instead, by stocking her site with the best handcrafted goods from around the globe. With a diverse range of products including brightly beaded friendship bracelets and dip-dyed cashmere infinity scarves, she's included options enough to check off everyone on your list in one go—and without spending an insane amount of money! Most of the selection is marked at less than $150; even the most expensive item, a woven cotton tote, rings in at a reasonable $310.
Even so, keep in mind that whatever cash you do drop on Parcel presents aids a worthy cause: helping the company's roster of artisans—who all hail from impoverished communities in Bali, Nepal, Kenya, Guatemala and Haiti—become self-sufficient.

Re-Capitalizing Your Company
A re-capitalization occurs when a company's capital structure is changed in order to achieve a desired outcome. There are various types of re-caps with differing objectives.
Re-Capitalizing to Restructure Ownership
This type of re-capitalization can be used when a private business owner wishes to transition ownership to a different ownership group. It may or may not involve a change of owner control, and the participation of a financial sponsor such as a private equity fund. Sources of capital in these cases include debt and new equity investment with the cash being used to acquire all or part of the company owner's investment in the company. The owner's objective could be to gain liquidity, diversify investment and effect estate planning, or to transition operating management and ownership to a new group.
Re-Capitalizing to Leverage Return on Equity
This type of recapitalization involves the company borrowing money so that more debt is present in the capital structure. Prudent borrowing permits companies to reduce their tax payments as interest payments on debt are deductible from taxable income. The debt that is incurred as part of this type of re-capitalization is often used to either return cash to equity owners or to fund company growth. A simple example of this type of re- capitalization occurs when a public company buys back shares, thus reducing the equity outstanding and increasing the company's indebtedness (or reducing its cash position).
Re-Capitalizing to Manage Indebtedness
Many companies find themselves facing financial difficulties because they cannot meet the principal repayment terms of existing debt financing. This can happen during difficult industry or economic cycles, or when a business finances long term growth plans with short term debt. In these cases, new equity capital or more patiently structured forms of indebtedness are sourced to pay out debt that has matured. This can be a very expensive exercise for current equity holders as the terms of new capital can be harsh.
Re-Capitalizing to Fuel Growth
Another frequent form of recapitalization involves the company issuing stock or debt to source cash for growth. This growth capital can be invested in a variety of ways including the funding of growing accounts receivable, inventory and capital assets, the funding of expensive but valuable sales, marketing and product development, or the funding of acquisitions. Equity capital tends to be the preferred form of growth capital as it does not have the principal and interest payment features of debt. For companies generating significant positive cash flow, debt is a reasonable alternative. For these companies, private equity investors are often the catalysts to help owners achieve multiple objectives including, gaining liquidity, transitioning to younger management and providing capital to grow the business.

This stuff is like liquid gold! It is so sexy on my lips. I am dark-skinned (NW50) and this shows up as sort of sheer with gold flecks. A great, sexy, going out look without being over the top. I can still pair it with bold eyeshadow. And the best part is that it is a lustreglass so it's not nearly as sticky as a lipglass.
This one takes all of the pink out of my quite pigmented rose lips and leaves an ambery honey color bordering on orange in certain lights. My lips end up looking super wet and warm toned. Last a long time too and tastes yummy. I love the lustreglass formulas and eventually want to own them all. This is a great color to wear with my warmer e/s since i usually dont buy warm colored lippies.

I really like this gloss. Its basically clear on me, but gives great shine and just enough sparkle. I prefer the lustreglass formula to the lipglass - so it works for me if I don't feel like wearing a coloured lip gloss, and not having to deal with the tube of the classic lipglass (drives me nuts!)
I was hoping for a slightly more honeyed look on my rather pigmented lips - on me, it is mostly just a super high-shine clear nude gloss with a bit of golden glitter and sheen. I think I'd like to try Squirt lipglass after I'm done with this tube, but if Squirt doesn't work out, I'd probably buy Spring Bean.
My favorite lip gloss of all time, beautiful honey shimmery color. Makes your lips poutier and sexier then ever. Not good for everyday in my opinion, but mind blowing for those nights out. I think it would work on anyone, definetly worth trying.
Weird-looking gloss in the tube....bright apple green, but applied to my medium-pigmented lips, it turns a honey shade w/golden-green shimmer. Truly a unique color and concept!
This is more of a novelty product for me more then anything lol just when I thought I had every gloss shade under the sun out comes "springbean", a bright green! To begin with the texture is lighter then the lipglasses, but staying power it quite decent and shine is equally as great as the originals, the brush applicator feels great against the lips. The colour is nothing special, for me its a clear gloss with lots of shimmer and a slightest hint of gold (but you can only see the gold up close). I don't think I will buy it again, but I will try the other colours of lustreglass as I do love the texture and shine
More reviews by sarahbella1012
Spring bean appears light green with sparkles in the tube, but takes on a gold quality when applied either alone or layer over l/s. It tends to brown-down my more mauvey colors and brighten my lighter colors. It is beautful over Viva Glam V, which was the look I was after, but did not find in Nymphette, due to my NW20 skin. No taste, no smell, cute packaging, the sparkles do not dry or irritate the lip. I might rebuy simply for the effect it lends to l/s. I don't care for it alone.
I'm an Asian MMM, and Spring Bean gives my pigmented lips a shiny, faintly glittery, honeyed look that is sexy but not over-the-top. I expect the green in Spring Bean modulates the redness of my lips and brings out the flesh tones, without hiding the natural lip texture. It's a unique look. I like wearing this with NARS Gina on my cheeks and very defined eyebrows. I'd give this 6 lippies if I could.
ahhh! i gave in b/c of all the rave reviews for this l/g and am sooo happy i decided to give this a try. this is just too fun! i can't wait to see peoples' reactions when i whip this baby out to use seeing as how it's a bright chartreuse (yellow/green). hA hA. i love how beautiful this stuff goes on...it tones down my somewhat pigmented lips and makes them look slightly carmelized, shiny, and has golden shimmer! soooo freakin' pretty! the staying power is great too...lasts about 3-4 hrs. on me! =) so happy! will repurchase.

Low, High Voltage and Electronics
Name: Steven Status: Student Grade: 9-12 Location: TX Country: United States Date: Winter 2009-2010
For any home appliance or electronics, let us say a television or refrigerator, what would be the effect if we provide under-voltage? What would be the effect if we provide over-voltage?
Hi Steven,
An overvoltage condition can result in damage to appliances and especially to electronic devices. An undervoltage condition usually causes no damage to most electrical or electronic devices; they just stop functioning correctly. Sometimes the device or appliance just quits working when the voltage gets too low, or sometimes (especially with electronic devices like computers) they start operating strangely. It all depends on the appliance or device in question.
Appliances with motors such as refrigerators or freezers act differently with an undervoltage. The motors in these appliances generally start to overheat, since motors tend to draw increasing current as voltage falls.
Bob Wilson
The answer is: it depends on the type of appliance, and occasionally the effort that the manufacturer put into protection against those conditions. Modern electronic devices such as PC's or TV's have switching regulators in them that compensate for variable supply voltage. Interestingly, if the supply voltage drops, those devices draw *more* current in order to automatically keep the device's power level constant, unlike non-regulated appliances like incandescent lamps. In extreme conditions, though, these regulated devices also often have over and undervoltage lockouts to turn themselves off.
Some older refrigerators could also overheat if the voltage were too high or low, but modern ones usually will turn off if the voltage is out of range. Electric heaters will produce more or less heat with supply variations during a heating cycle, but their thermostat controls will compensate and make this largely unnoticed.
Lastly, incandescent light bulbs are exponentially sensitive to over voltage and just a few percent of overvoltage condition can reduce lifetime by one half. However, undervoltage does not shorten their life, except for halogens, which do not last as long if the voltage is below a certain amount (they operate best at a fixed hot temperature). In contrast, most modern fluorescents, especially compact fluorescents, have electronic power controllers which regulate and protect them against minor variations in supply voltage (another exception: some fluorescents are meant to be dimmable and thus do not regulate, and they will get dimmer with lower voltage).
Paul Bridges
Steven -
For electronics, it is generally not recommended to vary the voltage up or down. The supply regulators in side will compensate for small variations, but if large enough, the equipment will start to misbehave and/or some parts could be overstressed. In modern stuff there is rarely any glaring inefficiency that would be improved by changing the voltage.
For motorized appliances, there is some interest in this variation. At home my refrigerator is plugged into a small box, which in turn is plugged into the wall socket, whose expressed function is to reduce the voltage a bit so long as the voltage and current remain in phase with each other. The inventor of this box studied AC motors and noticed that such motors, when driving a lighter mechanical load than their maximum, were basically holding off an un-needed portion of the AC voltage by means of the inductance in their coils or a subtle change in rotor phase. Reducing the voltage at lightly-loaded moments reduces the voltage drop across that inductance, which might save some energy. I have not proved that this box saves energy in my house, but it does not seem to have killed my refrigerator either.
Notice that this box is adaptive: if the motor gets a heavy load for a moment, such as when starting up, the box senses this somehow and does not reduce the voltage during that time.
Motors without electronics in control are probably going to get progressively rarer. In the meantime, there may be another couple of helpful electronic voltage-changing inventions to help them do their job better. If you know enough electronics to try some, try to set up to fast temperature monitoring, to sense sudden overheating quickly, to discontinue the experiment. There can be thresholds at which the power wasted as heat increases drastically.
Jim Swenson
Let us first assume the Over/Under Voltage is significant enough to have an effect. Not all Voltage excursions are large enough to effect performance of equipment.
A significant over-voltage would burn out the equipment and possibly start a fire.
A significant under-voltage would be sensed in the equipment shutting off. There is just not enough juice to keep the stuff running.
Lightning that hits the electrical power grid results in intermitted over/under voltage events And as you have probably already seen, the equipment flashes on and off which is probably most damaging.
Surge protectors in homes are important to protect televisions, home computers, microwave ovens from over-voltage surges, Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) are important to protect from Over and Under Voltage excursions and provide protection for facilities that have large installations of computer and communications equipment, such as computer data centers.
Sincere regards,
Mike Stewart

Nice looking faucet. Not installed yet. Was unhappy that sink drain didn't come with it so that was an extra expense.
This faucet is gorgeous but not even close to the color pictured. It is much more brass/reddish/pinkish color in real life & quite shiny. Did not match any of the other oil rubbed bronze products I have purchased for our bathroom. I was looking for something much darker with a matte finish. After some research I discovered that Vigo produces a color called "antique rubbed bronze" that is more of what I am looking for. Unfortunately, that finish is not available in this style. If matching the finish to other items is not a big deal, then this would be an excellent faucet.
I purchased two of these for our Master bathroom remodel. Our plumber said they were quality faucets and were a snap to install. They're very high-end looking and work well. I liked them so much that I bought another for our hall bath!
Wonderful faucet - high quality - heavy - works great. It's modern and sleek design really works well in our bathroom to give it a contemporary, clean design. I love it! Great piece! Also, purchased the drain separately and that worked out well too!
So far so good with this faucet. It looks great, and is working well. I like it.
We had looked at a number of stores and just couldn't find what we wanted. Well, not true...what we found was EXPENSIVE. My husband found this and really liked it. When he showed me, I thought it looked fine. When we got it, I was REALLY impressed,because it looked so much better than picture. We haven't used it a long time, but I do know VIGO is a good brand. It is just classy. We bought a pop up French drain to go with it. Perfect Handle is Very easy to maneuver.
I bought this faucet for my daughter because she likes this new kind of finish. She wants to re-do all her fixtures in this iron looking rubbed bronze. She was very happy with it, and it installed nicely. Good product.

Burton Blunt Snowboard - Wide
Good park board, also works in pow. Avoid bumpy groomers
The pop is good and I could ollie really high on any terrain, with exceptional flex on this board, which aligns well for park riding. The plus with this board is it also is super fun and easy to ride in any powder conditions with tons of float. That's somewhat rare for a 'park' board, though technically Burton labels this all-mountain I think to get a few more people who are new to the sport to buy it. It technically is all-mountain but mostly if you're planning to ride like 80% park / 20% other.
Overall weight of the board is good and swing weight is minimized so you should be able to get really good height/distance off jumps and kickers and be able to spin pretty well. However the soft flex is going to limit huge landings except for the most advanced riders out there, pretty much.
That's the good, I'll tell you the part where this board frustrated me to ride and that was in hardpack or any kind of bumpy tracked snow. Will definitely stick to my traditional board in any of those tougher or variable conditions. Just not fun at all and more of a hassle to get through to the calmer sections (and I consider this a real "funboard"). This is my first wide board and even though I was borderline, the extra waist width was appreciated. Definitely recommend it for anyone with a size "L" binding and I easily avoided any toe drag. No noticeable decrease in performance from reduced sidecut.
Also I hated the rails on this thing out of the box since the info pasted on the board and everything else I read said it was fully de-tuned. They say you can't catch an edge on this thing (even though I slightly did on a tracked out powder run on day 1), but that's true only if you detune it yourself. My board didn't even want to slide sideways on the hard packed snow in the liftline so I could go around people and catch up with a few friends. Not what you think of when imagining a park board. Easy way to catch something on any manmade feature.
I also rode the same model year Custom Flying-V in Whistler (Spring '11) for 2 days and prefer that board slightly to this one, if you're only going to ride one board all season long. It's more versatile, not as annoying to ride over choppy snow, has just a little more stiffness (liked takeoffs and landing it on jumps), and comes with a better base. Though if you prefer to never ever wax your board, the Blunt base is going to hold up pretty good for you. If you want more speed than this board can provide, get a sintered base like on the Custom Flying-V.
Also this comes complete with the ridiculous "handmade in China" clear sticker on the tail, so if you're wondering how Burton makes them a little bit cheaper for what they consider to be a slightly more downmarket board, well there you go. You can hold out for a board made in North America if you want to protest against this ugly little feature.

Thule SUP Taxi
Soooooooooo... this is the price for ONE...
Soooooooooo... this is the price for ONE of these bad boys? And I assume you need a minimum of TWO?
Is there any reason this is not indicated in the product description?! The text suggests that you don't need to buy multiple, just attach it to your roof rack and go. I can't imagine (from the guru's photo) that one of these would nearly do the job, how in the world would it keep from flying off your roof, let alone balance with any real stability to not move around and do damage to either the board or your car? Inexcusable!

DAKINE Scout Short Glove - Men's
Excellent glove
Very solid all around gloves and I would buy these again in a heartbeat. For the price I paid on sale here, I practically could buy two for the same price as other similar gloves.These are my third pair of Dakine gloves I've ever owned and they always last me at least two seasons. In fact the Dakine pipe gloves ('07 Viper) I'm still using are on their third season and still going strong.
I always wear L in gloves (Dakine or Burton) but in these I had to get XL. For some reason my usual size fit me snugly, even a bit too snugly, and this was even before I'd ever tried the supplied fleece liners.Exchanged them for an XL and they fit just a tiny bit loose, but this was enough for my fingers to articulate and move around comfortably. That allows me to wear the liners on extra-cold days with no problem. But they're usually warm enough without, so I rarely need it, just an extra bonus.
These gloves are extremely dry in addition to being warm enough. I have not tested them in the wettest or harshest of conditions but have worn them twice in a couple of different types of days we had and they worked great in both. The thing which is a concern for these gloves is the cuffs are a little bit unusual. They are not quite designed as a true "under" glove which fits snugly around your wrist with no gaps, underneath your jacket (highly preferred for me). It seems to me by studying the issue, they probably changed the design since the previous model, which makes the cuff slightly looser, but is not really an improvement. For this reason I tend to fasten the velcro as tight as it will go around my wrist (not very), and then pull my jacket sleeve down over it, but it inevitably pops out at least part way while I'm strapping into my bindings after getting off the lift. A bit of annoyance, but something I've learned to deal with. I also think a slightly looser cuff would let some of the heat out of your gloves though on very cold days. However, if you wear wristguards or a watch these will definitely fit over them. So I think that was part of the reason they're designed like this. The liners supplied with these are a hair loose but still work, though they should fit just a bit more snug, not have the same internal size as the outer glove. Doesn't make sense.FYI, as I write this the style of some of the colors pictured are actually the 2009 (last year's) model. The actual ones I received were different and indeed this year's model. You can tell the difference because the latest version have a nylon section sewn directly over the knuckles in black which resembles a "W" (like the logo for Wu-tang), whereas the older versions have what sort of resembles the letter "U" right below the knuckles on the back of the palm.

686 Smarty Original Cargo Pant - Women's
good pants... but
These are a good pair of women's snow pants and very warm. I bought them for my girlfriend but I had to return them because they are 2005-2006 model but it doesn't say anything about it on the website. I was under the impression they were the latest and greatest.
The only real differences are: 10k waterproofing not 15k, cargo pocket design is slightly different, and the liner is a kind of velour whereas on the '07 it's like nylon.
FYI the reason they run half a size small is because of the liner. Think of wearing a pair of pajama pants under snow pants. If you zip out the liner they fit the same as a normal pant, so if you need the extra room and/or are a little bit taller order a size up.

Vans Danny Kass lll Snowboard Boot - Men's
Solid boot with good fit and bad-ass look!
These boots are a little heavy, but other than that, I love them. They're about 7.5 out of 10 on the stiffness scale, which is just what I was looking for. Perfect for pipe or some aggressive park runs, but capable of attacking the entire mountain. The inside lacing helps a lot as does the velcro system. The laces don't go all the way up, which is a good thing since doing my laces is usually one of the main things slowing me down and keeping me from charging the mountain. My previous boots were the Burton SL6, which were good but expensive, and not quite as stiff as these. Therefore I prefer these and that's why I bought them to replace my old ones. Absorbtion system is good and the heat moldable liner is an added benefit. They come in 3 different color schemes, black, brown, and white with lime green trim, giving riders wanting these boots plenty of options. If I could, I'd give these 4.5 stars, but rating system doesn't allow half points. Great value for the price.
like other VANS boots these run a good 1/2 size small so I had to go up to the next half size.

Do hardwood expand width wise or length wise? My installer did not seem to leave enough space for my hardwood for expansion, he is now saying he will cut into the drywall to give the floor some space, is this a OK solution? How much space do hardwood need for expansion? width wise? Length wise? The wood in question is Brazilian Cherry - Jatoba. Please advice. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The length is relatively stable; almost all expansion and contraction happens across the width. The change in dimension is proportional to changes in moisture content. There's no way to accurately anticipate how much the flooring will expand, or even whether it will expand at all, without knowing both the current moisture content and how it will change. If the flooring was acclimated to the house before installation then you shouldn't have a problem. The Wood Flooring Manufacturers Association installation manual suggests storing flooring in the rooms where it will be installed for "4 to 5 days or more" before installation. Trimming away a bit of drywall before installing baseboards sounds like a decent way to provide some clearance. |
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Fri, Nov 14, 08 at 8:10
It also depends upon the species (some woods expand and contract more than others) and how the wood was oriented in the tree. The general rule is that wood expands and contracts more around the circumference about twice as much as it does radially. This is why when you see firewood, it generally has a pie-shaped crack in it -- if it shrunk the same in both circumference and radius there would be no differential contraction. For jatoba, "Shrinkage green to ovendry: radial 4.5%; tangential 8.5%; volumetric 12.7%-values are low for a wood of this density." |

An intriguing mayor possibility, Maud Daudon
This former deputy mayor and Chamber of Commerce chair is looking at a mayor's race in 2013, but she may be too much of an unknown and with too little fire in the belly to do it.
It's a measure of Mayor Mike McGinn's endangered political prospects that the 2013 mayoral race in Seattle is already pretty much under way. There are big names hinting at their interest: former King County Executive Ron Sims, State Sen. Ed Murray. And a leading contender is already clearly in the race, City Councilmember Tim Burgess.
Here's a new name who admits she is "thinking about it, though still in the listening mode." Maud Daudon is the "candidate" in question.
Daudon is hardly a household name, though she is well known in influential business and political circles. She was the chief financial officer at the Port of Seattle, where she got to know Port Commissioner Paul Schell. When Schell became mayor in 1997, Daudon became his deputy mayor, concentrating on administration and public safety issues. After Schell lost his reelection bid in 2001, Daudon has worked at Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation, where she is now CEO, an employee-owned investment bank focused on public finance for schools and other entities. She just stepped down after a year as board chair of the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce. She and her husband Marc are big players in the local environmental movement.
Her friends and admirers are pushing her to think seriously about running. Daudon says she only spends a few hours a month in exploring the idea, though neither is she rebuffing it. Some are pushing a Daudon candidacy because of their desire to have a woman mayor, or at least a serious woman candidate for mayor. This is a perennial theme, though the strongest possible candidates — Martha Choe, now at the Gates Foundation, Sally Jewell, CEO of REI, Virginia Anderson, former head of Seattle Center, former City Librarian Deborah Jacobs — never accede. Polls indicate a strong desire for a woman mayor, at least in general. (Jan Drago did poorly in the 2007 race.) Others think Daudon's broad-coalition politics would be just what the doctor ordered for Seattle's ailing politics.
She sees the city as bursting "with untapped potential, full of talented people who could do amazing things if you focus their energies." She has a theme for modern Seattle, one she has pushed effectively in her year as head of the Chamber: "sustainable prosperity." That refers in part to green tech as a great global opportunity for the region, as well as to ways of heading the parade to a post-carbon economy. What holds us back, she says, is the high degree of division in local politics, with Mayor McGinn as a principle practitioner of the politics of division.
At one level, you might think Daudon, 55, has too many albatrosses around her neck. The Schell administration, still in reputational eclipse. Being an investment banker, and of a firm that put together the controversial financing plan for the Monorail. Head of the Chamber. An unknown. (I recently gave a talk to the Plymouth Church forum, a well-informed civic group, and asked the audience of 100 how many had ever heard of Daudon. Two hands went up.)
At another level, however, the voters are hungry for a fresh face, and one who clearly understands business and regional economics. Burgess's drawback will be that he is a city councilmember, and they only rarely ascend to the mayor's office. Sims has his own mixed record at the county to defend (particularly his lavish spending on labor unions). Murray would have an unpopular legislature to live down. Daudon, if she does get fire in the belly for the job (not there yet), could seem to be the new force, reflecting Seattle's old vision and new mission.
She also has an interesting life story, nicely blending public service and private sector expertise. She grew up outside Chicago and went to the counter-cultural, progressive Hampshire College in Massachusetts. An early job as a city planner in Corvallis convinced her that she had to understand business, so off she went to Yale's graduate School of Management.

Let's see big time Liberal, Environmentalist, likes Brugress and Constantine in other words more of the same.

While I'd love to see the right female mayor, the idea, if true, that Ms. Daudon thinks highly of Tim Burgess and Dow Constantine, those folks whose views of parking rates (an arm and a leg) and predictability, and of car licensing fees (more and more and more, and for goodness sake, don't give the voters a chance to speak), convinces me that Ms. Daudon would not be my choice. The fact that she's the chair of the local Chamber of Commerce doesn't improve my opinion.
Contrary to the writer's view that "the voters are hungry for a fresh face and one who clearly understands business and regional economics," I am hungry for a fresh face, yes, but all we've had in local and regional government for a very long time are officeholders who are WAY too friendly with business, i.e., developers, and I couldn't be less hungry for more of that!
Posted Wed, Sep 21, 10:41 a.m.
She would have my vote. With her background and track record of successes in the public and private sectors she is certainly a cut above the current interested parties.

What a sad but true statement:
"Other regions (Austin, Denver, Philadelphia) are starting to far outpace Seattle in political leadership and strategic positioning. These are rising or rebounding cities, while Seattle is a complacent region..."
Posted Wed, Sep 21, 11:45 a.m.
The ultimate and classic definition of 'trial balloon' sums up this piece. Who, exactly, is itching for a Daudon mayoral run? And, how many more current or past members of the Gates Foundation employee ranks are considered possible mayoral candidates? I'm surprised that the foundation has not hired Nickels, Sims, Rice, Royer, etc. to join the list of former public servants on the payroll. Finally, the reference to 3 other cities is quite a tease with zero specifics. What precisely is going on in those 'oupacing Seattle' places?
Posted Wed, Sep 21, 1:08 p.m.
What the article seems to point to is someone who can clearly be identified as a green progressive with someone who also has enough strategic business sense to realize Seattle needs to find its niche in the next incarnation of the regional economy. That's not about rich people being richer, its about people being employed, talent continuing to be nurtured, educational opportunities being expanded, export trade thriving, workforce needing to be better trained and linked with employers, and venture capital being attracted. And it has to be done in a way that unites and inspires a community as we move, inevitably, into a post-carbon world. Only someone who has both environmental and business chops can do that, and I see no current candidate out there to replace McGinn that fits that, nor does the current Mayor.
I've got three words for you: Run, Maud, Run!
Posted Wed, Sep 21, 3:09 p.m.
If she is everything to say she is, tell her to to fund a start-up and hire people in the private sector. We have plenty of Liberal, Non-Jobs producing, Green Sustainability folks in office right now, she offers nothing unique.
Posted Wed, Sep 21, 4:07 p.m.
She would be great! Determined, smart, focused with values and a sense of humor....Brewster is right - she has to make up her mind soon -either in or out! I hope in!
Posted Wed, Sep 21, 5:31 p.m.
Maud is smart, hard-working and dedicated to public service. The fact that she wrestles with this choice indicates that her ego and drive for self-aggrandizement is tempered by a thoughtful evaluation of what she could offer to the city. I love the idea of someone with this termperament, not to mention experience -- and gender, considering a run for Mayor. Plus, I too am a Hampshire College grad and want the bragging rights. Go Frogs!
Posted Fri, Sep 23, 10:29 a.m.
McGinn Lite? An environmentalist, yet an investment banker with the Monorail project? Hardly a winning combination. She'll never make it out of the primary.
I've got a better idea, run for city council. You have a chance there.
Posted Fri, Sep 23, 4:58 p.m.
Yeah, I'm sure Seattle is all hot to go for another "outsider" candidate, especially one who was part of the Schell administration, beloved by theorists and loathed by most of the rest of us. She was his Deputy Mayor? I hope she was not as tone deaf to the residents of the city as was her boss. Assuming that Burgess will be handicapped by his being on the council is a real stretch. By 2013, I'm guessing he'll be looking very, very good to the voters of our city...a reasonable and able public servant who understands that the Mayor does not stand alone when it comes to managing the city. Nor do I give Ms.Daudon any points for being "conflicted" about running for the job...that makes me think she doesn't have the stomach for a hard campaign and for the tough and nasty stuff which comes with the office. "I'm not a politician" some of them say...then fine, stay out of politics.

NAME: Eddie | OCCUPATION: THESPIAN BABY!
FAVORITE ACTORS: Denzel, Russell Crowe, James Earl Jones, Laurence Olivier
FAVORITE ATHLETE: Ali, Deion Sanders, Lynn Swann, Walter Payton
FAVORITE SINGER: Michael Jackson, Weezy, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Janis Joplin, Aerosmith, R.Kelly
BIGGEST AMBITION: Acting greatness, seeing the world and philanthropy.
From the white-chalked, manicured fields of grass, to the hardwood floors of the stage, to the silver screen of Hollywood, Eddie Goines has transitioned from the National Football League to professional acting at its highest level. "I am incredibly blessed to have lost something I loved so dearly in football, and found something I'm equally passionate about in the wonderful world of acting."
The CREATORS
Eddie Goines was born to Gloria Jean Goines and Eddie Goines in Jackson, Tennessee, and raised in Lakeland, Florida. His mother gave him his winning smile and personality and ability to get along with virtually anyone, and his father instilled a discipline, determination and belief in him that is unshakable. The oldest of six, Eddie grew up an astute honor roll student and an elite football player.
He attended one of the nations very best football programs in the Lakeland High School Dreadnaughts, and played under Coach Bill Castle, who was voted the Coach of the Century in the football rich state of Florida. After virtually no playing his first year at LHS and experiencing many doubts to his career, Eddie finally took the field and ended up producing one of the greatest careers the school and central Florida has ever seen.
Eddie was voted All-Area, All-State, and also made the All-Decade team and signed a scholarship to North Carolina State University. After sitting out his first season and at the end of the depth chart, Eddie quickly emerged as one of the all-time greats to play at N.C. State and the Atlantic Coast Conference, despite a career shortened by injury. He was a three time 1st All-Atlantic Coast Conference, an All-American, held virtually every school receiving record and is arguably the greatest receiver ever at a school that boast talents like NFL All-Pros Torrey Holt, Koren Robinson, Jerricho Cottchery, Haywood Jeffries, and Mike Quick.
Eddie also continued his excellence in the classroom. He was an Academic All-American and made the All-Academic Atlantic Coast Conference team four years in a row. He's the only student-athlete in conference history to achieve such honors. Eddie Goines capped his career by being voted the Student Commencement Speaker at the spring Graduation Ceremonies.
Eddie's football career came to an unfortunate end the eighth game of the season, when he tore his knee and needed re-constructive surgery. The Seattle Seahawks still drafted him. Injury riddled seasons and numerous major knee surgeries followed throughout his three years in Seattle and a fourth with the New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts. He was never healthy enough to play, and soon he and his love—football, parted ways.
THE EVOLUTION OF THE THESPIAN—New York
After a brief stint as a news and television reporter, another love grabbed a hold of Eddie. He met acting and it was love at first sight. Eddie began his acting career in New York. His first play was under the legendary Gertrude Jeanette in Harlem. She taught him as much as any acting coach or director has since. Afterwards, he was ready to embrace his newfound passion and bombard his newly minted aspirations. More theatre followed along with indie films and then numerous appearances on all of the soap operas: All My Children, One Life to Live, As the World Turns, and Guiding Light.
Eddie's first major break was co-starring with Charles Barkley in a Coors Beer commercial directed by the great Spike Lee. He also did commercials for products like Dockers, Jordache, and Nike to name a few. A little known fact, and one of the last big jobs for Eddie in New York, is that he played the main character, C.J., in the record breaking video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas." Another interesting tidbit is that Eddie has been chosen as the featured model on the box cover for two major hair companies. The first was Soft Sheen in which the box featuring him never made it to the shelf. The second is Just For Men, and is still currently on the shelves.
THE CITY OF DREAMS- Los Angeles
The whole time he was making strides in New York, he couldn't avoid the calling of the screens of Hollywood. Upon arriving he immediately booked Passions and an indie film. Shows such as Las Vegas, Law & Order, and My Name is Earl, amongst others, have followed. He's also remained loyal to the theatre with lead roles in hit plays: L.A. Weekly Theatre Pick of the Week's "Lesson Before Dying," long running cabaret show "Harlems Night," Will Smith produced and Random House author Donald B. Welch's "My Brothers Keeper," and award winning playwright Levy Lee Simon's "Same Train."
Last year Eddie was in the blockbuster movie debut in the hit film "American Gangster" starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. This smash hit broke box office records all over the world. It was a thrill for him to be in his fist major feature with his two favorite contemporary actors. The fan favorite horror film "Marco Polo," in which he plays the lead role, made its debut in the American Black Film Festival. Marco Polo received a Best Feature nomination for the festival and was a fan favorite.
An unexpected thrill came in an opportunity to work with the top entertainer in the world, Beyonce Knowles. Eddie plays her romantic lead in the hit song "If I Were a Boy." The video has burned up the charts, and is being talked about as a leading candidate for video of the year. "If I Were A Boy" comes across as a mini-film as it delves into common problems that riddle relationships across the world. This powerful video is one to remember.
Eddie continues to audition and creates his own projects as well through his production company NYAD (Not Your Average Dreamer).
Eddie Goines is driven to achieve greatness, and wants his name right alongside the Denzels, Brandos, James Earls, Oliviers, and Poitiers. Hopefully in time we'll say . . . Goines. He thanks God for the opportunities given to him and he thanks all of his family, friends, and fans for their continued support.

I have a terrible memory, and it's not just age.
I can remember the very first SP FPS game I tried (and hated) Kingdon Honor Guard, the next FPS I tried (and LOVED!) Unreal Tournament and the first SP game I played all the way through: Unreal.
I even remember walking around a PC store and seeing Half-Life but not wanting to try it because I was worried I would lose my love of Unreal.

After recording the latest episode of Podcast 17 I decide to sit down and watch an episode of House M.D.
It was from the sixth season, number three, called Epic Fail. It starts with a scene very similar to Doom 3 and for a moment I wondered whether I was watching the right show.
My interest was obviously piqued but as usual the way game and gamers are represented on T.V. was woeful. This is another example that demonstrates the way mainstream media clearly has no real idea about gaming.
19th October 2009
Gabe Newell has said there is a good reason that they can't talk about progress for Episode Three and I think it's because they are working on a new Source engine, or at least a huge update for the current version.
There's only so much tweaking you can do before you have to start afresh; it's the same with hardware. Some changes can't be incremental.

Very few mods actually require an executable.
Most just need a properly packed SourceMods folder. Generally players seem to prefer the folders but some like the executables.
I worry that some mod teams make executables because they think it's more professional.

Alan Arkin doesn't have a lot of screen time in Little Miss Sunshine, but he earns his third Oscar nomination with just one perfect scene. At a roadside motel, his irascible grandfather character he's listed in the credits simply as ''Grandpa'' shares his room with Abigail Breslin's Olive as they road-trip with the rest of the family to the Little Miss Sunshine beauty competition in Redondo Beach, Calif. First, Grandpa and Olive practice growling at each other. ''You're the world champion growler!'' declares Grandpa, and Arkin gives the line a terse, proud, comic flourish. But as soon as Grandpa tucks her in, 7-year-old Olive starts to worry that she's not pretty and Grandpa sets her right. ''I'm madly in love with you!'' he says. ''And it's not because of your brains or your personality it's because you're beautiful!'' Then he pokes her in her little potbelly and tells her he loves her, capping off the most heartwarming moment in a movie full of tough, surprising sweetness.
A moment later, of course, Grandpa goes into the bathroom to snort heroin. That's the beauty of Arkin's performance: His Grandpa is a real badass angry, profane, foolish but we still buy him in his few shining moments of tenderness. Despite his limited face time on screen, Arkin makes a lasting impression. It feels like a career performance from the 72-year-old actor, who scored two Best Actor nods four decades ago for his film debut in 1966's The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming! and for 1968's The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. Arkin's been a dependable film fixture ever since, in movies both good and awful. In a tough, Little Miss Sunshine-y way, it's touching to see him recognized again for his terrific work.

Email previously listed in my mailbox is missing
Email previously listed in my mailbox is missing |
We understand how frustrating it can be when emails go missing. So here are a handful of solutions we hope will help you resolve the issue. They are listed based on how you access AOL Mail (on AOL software on Windows, AOL software on Mac, or on other email services). But first: do you check your AOL Mail in another account or email program? This is perhaps the top reason people don't find email where they think it should be. If you "POP" your mail into another account or program, chances are that the settings in that program are actually set to delete the mail from the AOL server each time you check your mail. The fix? Go into that program's POP/IMAP settings and find the option to "Leave messages on server," and select it. Here are instructions on how to Leave messages on the AOL server. Alternatively, if your email isn't missing but is going straight into the Old, Recently Deleted or Trash folders, this may simply be the normal outcome of using IMAP to access your AOL Mail in another program or on another device. IMAP syncs your mail regardless of where you use it, which means if you read a message in your mailbox on your mobile device, it will appear as "Read" the next time you check your mail from anywhere else. IMPORTANT: Free AOL Mail accounts that aren't used for more than 120 days are deleted. If you have a paid account or you frequently access your emails, don't worry: Your email experience will remain unchanged. Follow the instructions below to resolve the issue. If you are using the AOL software on Windows, do the following:Note: First, try to send an email to yourself to verify whether you can send and receive emails.
If you are using AOL software on Mac, do the following:Note: First, try to send an email to yourself to verify whether you can send and receive emails.
If you are using another email program:Note: First, try to send an email to yourself to verify whether you can send and receive emails. You can send and receive your AOL Mail using any email program that supports either Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or Post Office Protocol (POP). However, if your emails are missing, please reconfigure your email program to use the IMAP settings. As mentioned at the top of this page, accessing your mail through POP3 can cause the email software on your computer or mobile device to download your messages locally and immediately delete them from the server. Accessing AOL Mail through IMAP will allow the client to read emails from the server, without deleting them. For more information on how to use IMAP with your email program, please visit our help article How do I use other email applications to send and receive mail from my AOL Mail account? . .

I added extra soy and tabasco, and next time I will make more sauce and double the ginger and garlic. I also halved the recipe to serve just me with some leftovers, but half would easily have served 3 hungry people!"

It sounds too amazing to be true, but gallium is an absolutely real chemical element that's found in some of the gadgets we use every day. But perhaps more interestingly, there are a ton of insane experiments scientists like to do with gallium. Thanks to its odd properties and behavior, gallium can do some pretty strange things in the lab. The above video shows what happens when gallium "attacks" aluminum. The "gallium beating heart" experiment is a popular one that shows how gallium can act like a living thing when submerged in sulfuric acid and a dichromate solution.
