We are pleased to introduce a break through therapy to treat the difficult to manage allergy cases. Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT) is a brand new way to approach allergy treatment.
What is an Allergy?
Allergies are a physiological error. The body reacts negatively to harmless substances, foods or stimuli. An allergic reaction occurs when the body comes in contact with the allergen. This can occur through contact with the skin, inhalation, injection or ingestion of the substance.
What is AAT?
Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT)* is a clinically proven treatment that is highly effective in relieving the many symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities. It is a therapeutic approach that was developed from over 15 years of clinical research, reconditioning the body to respond more appropriately to harmless substances. The success of the treatment is attributed to the extensive knowledge base and in-depth study of the allergens and offending agents, allowing for the treatment of a broad range of symptoms. The AAT treatment does not rely on the use of medications, herbal remedies or supplements. The treatment is safe and painless. Please visit the website: http://www.aatcofnewengland.com to read about the successes in humans. Only recently AAT has become available for our veterinary patients, and we are proud to be the first to offer it in New Hampshire.
*AAT does not diagnose allergies, sensitivities or intolerances. AAT does not test for allergies or sensitivities. The AAT system simply assesses what may be causing a stress to the body. AAT does not cure allergies, nor does the therapy treat the immune system. AAT is a highly effective treatment that provides long-term relief from symptoms associated with allergies or sensitivities. AAT does not treat cases of anaphylaxis or life threatening symptoms. Strict avoidance is always advised in such cases.
What conditions can be treated?
Conditions such as chronic ear infections, pruritus, dermatitis, chronic vomiting and diarrhea can be potentially treated successfully with AAT. Once these conditions have been evaluated and worked up at the regular veterinarian and the condition is either not improving or recurring, AAT is a potentially effective alternative treatment to provide relief for those cases. Most of the cases we treat have not responded to traditional type treatments.
How do I make an appointment?
AAT treatments can be scheduled by appointment. Please call to schedule or discuss treatment options at 603-898-8982 and ask for Julie. The initial appointment and treatment is 1 hour and each additional treatment is 30 minutes. We can only treat one allergen family per session. Typically, it takes between 5-12 treatments if treating a condition.
How much does it cost?
Initial consultation and treatment $190 Follow-up treatment $85
What are clients saying about AAT and their Pets?
Pearl is one of my pugs that has suffered from allergies for years. These allergies were so bad, that she would scratch herself almost constantly until her skin would bleed, or she'd just cry because it hurt her to scratch herself. She'd been tested for food allergies, skin allergies and has been on all kinds of medication. Some of the medication would lessen her symptoms, but nothing took them away,
Dr. Magnuson suggested she try Advanced Allergy Therapeutics. This was most helpful to Pearl from a diagnostic standpoint. It pinpointed exactly what she was sensitive to - like her own sweat - explaining why she chewed her feet and scratched her ears bloody. Standard testing never picked up these subtleties like AAT did. Because of this, we were able to modify her lifestyle, such as simply washing her paw pads and ears and nose wrinkles - places where sweat accumulates - on a regulator basis, just to give an example.
The change in Pearl is like night and day - she rarely scratches herself any more - days go by without this behavior. This makes us all happier as she's not in agony, and we don't have to listen to her constant crying and whining and us not being able to help her.
Rebecca Howard
I am the current owner of a 6 year old English Mastiff. For most of my dogs life we have been battling constant ear infections. It seemed like once we got rid of one infection then another one would surface with the next couple of weeks. Keely my dog, had been on every antibiotic that there was out there and nothing seemed to work. Then one day I received a call from Canobie Lake Veterinarian Hospital and they offered this new procedure. At this point I was willing to try anything new. I had already spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on medication and visits to the doctors office. I figured "Let's give it a try." So, we set up the appointment for the testing. The testing was non invasive and I found out that Keely was sensitive to fabric softener and all fabrics except polyester and hemp. Gone were the days and nights of constantly trying to put the medication in her ears. Gone were the nights of being woken up in the middle of the night from her scratching and yelping. Gone were the having to deal with the ears that were bleeding from her scratching constantly and most importantly gone was the horrible "yeast smell". Keely turned into a different dog. Now I am able to put my hand up to her ears and clean them without her "yelping" and running away. I am now able to not be frustrated because of the never ending medication and office visits. She is calmer and more lovable than I have ever seen her. I can honestly say I am happy with the procedure and the results from the Allergy treatment.
Jennifer Murphy, English Mastiff owner.
Kayla, a female tabby cat, came into the Humane Society for Greater Nashua in June 2009 as a stray kitty. She had some very severe intestinal issues and we suspected food allergies. For several months we tried many medications and diet trials but had no improvement. Kayla was grouchy and became aggressive when picked up. She was also obsessively grooming and pulling out hair on her abdomen. It appeared she was in extreme abdominal pain and was acting out.
After speaking with Dr. Magnuson in December 2009 we decided to try the AAT treatment in hopes of some improvement. The results seen after treatment were far better than we could have hoped for. She has had no intestinal upset at all and it has been two months since treatment. She is very happy and her hair has grown in. Kayla is very content and loves attention now. The staff here at the Humane Society can handle her and pick her up and she loves it.
This treatment literally saved Kayla's life. She is now a very adoptable kitty and is sure to find a loving new home.

We have several tomato plants, differing varieties, planted in our square foot garden. Most of the plants had tomatoes on the vine, several almost ripe and a lot still green when my husband checked on them two days ago.
Yesterday when we checked the garden, almost all of the tomatoes (nearly ripe and green) had been pulled cleanly from the vines. There were no traces of the fruit, trampling of plants, or disturbance of the area around the plants. It was just as if someone picked each one off. We are suspecting someone stole them off, which is odd because our house is situated off the road in a private area. Also, my husband was home the majority of the day, and I don't think someone would be able to find all of the fruit in the branches if they were rooting around in the middle of the night. Is there an animal that would steal tomatoes without a trace? Otherwise, our inclination is to get a camera and watch, but we don't want to go to this expense if there is a more logical explanation. |

If they got plucked clean, you got robbed, by a person |
Animals will leave traces of fruit. |

I say a human |
I concur, it was some human. |
This is kinda scary... I was just noticing some of mine have disappeared cleanly (almost) and came here searching for possibilities. I never thought of humans, but the lawnmower guys were here yesterday... hmmmm... nah....they were still green... I saw a couple just starting to pink up the other day... who would want to eat green ones? Or did they take them home to ripen? The only evidence is one green tomato that was on the top of the soil in the container (whiskey barrel) partly picked at. No other pieces of tomato to be seen anywhere. I am growing 2 plants - a cluster salad type and some cherries. The cherries look untouched. Is there any barrier thing I can put over the whole deal to protect whats left if it is critters? would bird netting help at all? |

Maybe FFG would do some plastic stand-ups just like these that are a part of such games like Arkham Horror or WFRP 3ed? This would be great becouse FFG stand-ups are clear, not to big and not to small, and the most importent thing is that every character from every FFG game fit to them.
They could be selled like tokens in packages with 20 pieces.

Frozen section
Last updated: Monday, 05, April, 2004
MBS Online Search Page: Click here for details
Item | Process |
Specimen | Fresh tissue transported immediately to the laboratory. Clinical inflammation is essential and ideally laboratory staff should be consulted prior to specimen submission. |
Method | Fresh tissue is examined upon arrival in the laboratory. Suitable sections are taken, frozen and sectioned in a freezing microtome. Following staining sections are examined by a pathologist and, where appropriate, the diagnosis is immediately conveyed to the operating surgeon. |
Application | Intra-operative diagnosis is usual to confirm or exclude malignancy or for identification of normal tissue (parathyroid gland, lymph node) in order to inform subsequent surgical management. Frozen sections may also be used to examine tissue from the surgical margins for completeness of excision. Examination of fresh tissue may permit selection of appropriate ancillary investigations, such as EM, IF or IH. |
Interpretation | Assessment and diagnosis by pathologist. Tissues are then usually fixed for routine processing. |

Bacon: A Love Story: The Mini-Documentary
I recently collaborated with LA-based videographer, Brian Gordon, on a project for a contest sponsored by Hormel. Bacon: A Love Story – the mini-documentary – features myself, Justin Beckett of Beckett's Table and Jason Corman of The Pork Shop. You can watch this meaty masterpiece below or by clicking here!
Oberto Bacon Jerky
A proper summer road trip includes jerky as a snack (at least it does in my world). And now my friends and family can join me in combining love of road trip jerky and love of bacon with Bacon Jerky by Oberto made from 100% real strips of Applewood smoked bacon. In addition to being a good snack item on its own, Bacon Jerky would also be tasty on a sandwich or as bits sprinkled on a salad.
Bacon Soda by Lester's Fixins
Summer is upon us. You may be considering what beverage to drink as you spend an afternoon relaxing on the patio. You may also have bacon on your mind (as usual). And that's where Bacon Soda by Lester's Fixins enters the picture. All you need is a bottle opener – no frying pan or messy clean up required.
Heritage Foods USA: Old Spot Bacon
Having easy access to affordable bacon is important to Americans, but it's also increasingly important to know where our bacon comes from. I've tasted many different brands in my lifetime, but as much as possible I try to support small producers (and find that's where the best bacon comes from anyway).
Heritage Foods USA was founded in 2001 as an arm of Slow Food USA, a non-profit organization established to "counter the rise of fast food, the disappearance of local food traditions and people's dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, and how our food choices affect the rest of the world."
Heritage works directly with 40 family farmers and processes 200 pigs per week. All of their cuts come from humanely raised, heritage breed pigs.
I recently tasted their Maple Sugar Cured Gloucestershire Old Spot Bacon, and it's one of the best I've ever had. The fat marbling in this bacon is so sweet and milky, and this is a bacon I would definitely bake instead of frying so that with each bite you get a good mix of fat and lean. If you get a chance to try it and decide you like their bacon as much as I do, Heritage offers a Bacon Subscription to guarantee you'll receive 3 pounds of their bacon every two months.
Surround yourself with the scent of bacon, 24/7
One of the challenges of being a bacon fanatic is filling the gaps between meals with our beloved meat. But thanks to Yankee Candles, there's finally a solution to this problem. Light up the "Mmm, Bacon!" candle and surround yourself with that smoky scent all day and night. "But I can't light a candle in my car," you ask? Or "what about when I'm at the office?" Then carry the "Mmm, Bacon" air freshener with you at all times and spread the love, no matter where you are.
Bacon Flight at Cheeky's Palm Springs

Where to eat (bacon) in Phoenix
I recently recorded an interview with the Mystery Meet Podcast hosted by Seth Resler to talk about the dining scene in Phoenix. In addition to talking about all the great new restaurants that have opened in Central Phoenix in the past several years, we also discussed the trend of chefs working more closely with local farmers and food producers to build and support our local food economy. Not surprisingly, bacon was also a consistent theme throughout the interview and one of many reasons why I recommend Beckett's Table as a not-to-miss restaurant in Phoenix. Click here to listen!
Coming Soon: Bacon, the mini-documentary
I spent the last couple days filming a mini-documentary about bacon at locations around Phoenix. As part of the story, we sampled Chocolate Dipped Bacon S'mores from Beckett's Table. Such a tough assignment…

Île d'Ouessant
Location: 174 miles west of Mont-St.-Michel
Distance from mainland: 12.5 miles
Surface: 6 square miles (number of times Ouessant fits into Manhattan: 3.8)
Year-round population: 852
High-season population (excluding tourists): 3,000
Hotel beds: 950
Eighteen years isn't a lifetime, but they can seem like one when they're the pause between trips to a place as far-flung and mythical as Île d'Ouessant, the farthest from the continent of all the Breton islands. On my first, 1988 visit I was on a food odyssey in search of a homely stew of mutton, potatoes, and no wine. It was said to be cooked out-of-doors in a cast-iron pot by the heat of smoldering taouarc'h, Celtic for clods of dried heather or grass. After dozens, maybe hundreds, of faxes and phone calls, I found someone who knew someone who knocked on the door of someone who agreed to make me un ragoût dans le taouarc'h. Young food writers who have only ever known e-mail have no idea what a cakewalk they have.
I was writing a book about the domestic art of entertaining as practiced by French people of all stripes (chatelaines, paysans...). Ouessant, the unfrivolous president of its coopérative agricole, and his stout, wind-rocked house weren't the most obvious subject to build a chapter around, but what do you do when a stew gets under your skin?
So imagine my surprise when last August I saw taped to a window on the island a flier advertising the services of Mary Jo Dugal. For $18 a head, Mary Jo will prepare a ragoût, simmered untouched for four hours in clods, and deliver it to your hotel or the beach for a picnic supper.
Ouessant was learning to sell itself. With my dish. Tourism had obviously grown. But Ouessant has very little to sell beyond its dolorous beauty. Because there are so few trees, its residents once prayed to the Virgin Mary for shipwrecks, literally. Salvaging wood to make furniture, they ignored the murderous consequences of their prayers. This tradition of invention and recycling is enshrined in the stew, but also in the very idea of flogging it to vacationers. Islanders have a long history of looking around, identifying what little they see, and trying to make something out of it. Seaweed, another traditional fuel, is today commercialized as a comestible condiment and for use in beauty products. Seaweed is Ouessant's one, tiny industry.
To the modern visitor, the island offers a small but exquisite menu of simple pleasures: walking, cycling, birding, glancing over garden walls to dote on the hydrangeas, eating. If these don't excite, the loss is yours, and you'll be happier on Belle-Île or Île de Ré. Personally, I found the smallness of the menu liberating. How luxurious to take a holiday and barely have anything to decide. If you cannot secure a reservation at Ti Jan Ar C'hafe, change your dates. It's the only hotel worth anything, though hotel is a big word for what is really just an eight-room guesthouse. Some French guidebook calls Ti Jan's decor Almodóvaresque. While that may be going a little far, it does have a few charismatic moments.
There are two categories of restaurants on Ouessant: Ti a Dreuz and Ty Korn, and Everything Else. The buckwheat crêpes at Ti a Dreuz attain a rare level of delicacy and refinement. Ty Korn serves the mother of all seafood platters. At Madame Orlac'h's nameless salon de thé you can have a cream tea as good as any in Wiltshire while listening to Schubert and reading ancient copies of Paris Match. Silk-shaded lamps and Staffordshire spaniels garnish the mantelpiece. And you thought Ouessant was uncivilized.
It's difficult to talk about Ouessant as an island of merchant seamen, which is how it was always described up to the middle of the last century, because the men's work often had them living and dying on the other side of the globe. The stable population was made up of their heroically capable wives and mothers, who hauled the granite to build houses, shoveled earth for mortar, laid roads, and collected taouarc'h. Mutton cooked in clods—which smoke but do not flame and lend the stew a funky animal dimension—was hit upon by women with no time for standing over the pot. In 1988, the 40-minute boat ride to Ouessant from Le Conquet was so violent I fell to my knees on arrival and was demonstrably sick before a welcoming committee of people I'd never met and who were waiting to take me to lunch. While my hosts tucked into ragoût, I lay prone in an unfamiliar guest room, the smell of burning taouarc'h outside the window making me yet sicker. Ouessantins insist their island is the beginning of the world, not the end. Either way, the dish fits.

The purpose of this guide is to help club promoters, event planners, marketing managers from Nightclubs, Gentlemen's Clubs and Stripclubs on how to book some of the top name Porn Stars. All the information we provide here is free; we ask nothing in return except that you support the Adult Entertainment Industry, Porn Stars and the business as a whole by booking these talented individuals to make appearances and meet mainstream consumers. The more mainstream we all make the Adult Industry the better for the business.
- Know generally who you are interested in booking.
- What you are looking for them to do (ie host, feature dance, companionship, etc)
- Where and when are the dates and location of the event, party or venue?
- What is your budget? Is travel involved if so are you including that cost in your budget?
Budget is honestly the first and most important thing you need to know about before booking a Porn Star. Rates vary widely based on the level of Porn Star you are looking to book, what exactly you are looking for them to do, and availability. So as stated above it's important to answer those questions first. It's also important to note that not all Porn Stars can be booked for all events. While some Porn Stars can be booked for Private Parties, Bachelor Parties or even Companionship others may have no interest whatsoever in that; so you'll need to have some flexibility there as well. Some Porn Stars will make appearances, but do not feature dance; and others only feature dance.
Include in your budget travel, lodging and security; typically Porn Stars or their agents will expect you to cover the costs of airline flights, limo/car, and hotel. They will likely not be happy staying at a flea bag motel; but you also don't need to put them up at the Ritz. A moderate hotel with interior hallways is always best. Most, if not all, Porn Stars will be accompanied or require you provide security for them. If this is their personal security/driver it's usually included in the cost of their booking – but sometimes they will try and negotiate on top. If you plan on flying a Porn Star in you should also include the cost of ground transportation to and from your venue in your budget except you are picking them up from the airport.
If you're asking a Porn Star to make an appearance, host an event or feature dance they will likely require a table or place to set up to sell their DVDs, Magazines, 8x10s, and other merchandise. Any money they make selling their merchandise, autographs or photos is usually 100% theirs on top of their appearance fee. A lot of clubs mistakenly think that Porn Stars make a lot of money on their merchandise but in most cases the Porn Stars have to purchase DVDs they appear in for $10+ each and typically sell them for $20; so they are not making a huge profit.
If you're looking to book a Porn Star for feature dancing typically their pricing will be based on the number of shows you want them to do in a night. A typical number of shows is 2-3 a night; and most traveling Porn Stars who feature will look for 2-3 night bookings. A feature set typically include 3-4 songs and the Porn Star handing out some posters or DVDs to the crowd while the strip in exchange for tips. Sometimes Porn Stars will opt to do more of a show; or even have games they play with customers to.
Typically Porn Stars keep 100% of all of tips received by customers; but your staff should expect a professional Porn Star to tip them out for helping her make money.
Some Porn Stars will also allow customers to purchase private/VIP dances from them; rarely would a Porn Star work the floor or compete with normal dancers in your club.
Because of the high demands of this Porn Stars, we recommended that you make your reservation as far in advance as possible in order to secured a booking for them. To be assured your event is a successful one, advanced reservations is preferred as some of the Porn Stars may need to commute from there location to where the event is taking place.
The above informations are very important and should be read thoroughly before making a booking.

ECC signs first-ever MoU with forwarder
Etihad Crystal Cargo has made history with the signage of its MoU with the WCA Family, a global network of independent freight forwarders representing more than 640 ports and cities. The first such agreement between a carrier and a forwarding group, the MoU enables ECC to take on a vendor role with the WCA Family.
Although this may seem complex, it's actually very straightforward, maintains Roy Kinnear, senior vice president of cargo at Etihad. "In simple terms, if you are already trading with Etihad, it is business as usual," he stated. "However, if you need access to more choices for your airfreight, this unique initiative allows you to begin transactions with Etihad quickly, founded on the strength of the Etihad relationship with WCA Family."
In other words, all forwarders within the WCA Family can access Etihad Crystal Cargo's global booking network, which spans 84 locales. Not only will this help alleviate the credit burden, Kinnear said, it will also "allow WCA Family members to leverage the strength of the Etihad relationship with WCA Family to provide an airway bill facility on behalf of its members."
Kinnear believes the MoU will especially bolster WCA Family's operations in Asia, the Indian subcontinent and Africa — key regions of focus for ECC. "We expect to be able to deliver exceptional value and routings to [WCA Family's] members," he stated.
It's a win-win situation for both parties, WCA Family President David Yokeum said. "Etihad, as a company, has shown great vision by thinking outside the box and forging this partnership with a private organization," Yokeum said in a statement. "I would like to commend Etihad Crystal Cargo for having the foresight and drive to engage so productively with the independent forwarding community."

I am working on a special gun and I never worked with vectors before, now I want to spawn 4 acotrs that each travel in a different direction from each other with a difference of 90 degrees between two actors, so if you saw it from a top view it would look like the attachment. I spawn them in a projectile class(I want those four to appear after the projectile hit the target.) Any idea?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sienna!
Facts about Sienna
- Species: Guinea Pig
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Sienna's Info...
I am good with kids and good with small animals.
Meet Sienna, a 1 1/2 year old female piggy! She must be adopted with Skittles. They are very sweet & adorable piggies! If you are interested in giving them a forever home, please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com
****Before adopting from The Piggy Place, it is ESSENTIAL that you read the "Adoption Information" and "Adoption Contract" sections of our website. This has links to required education, as well as a thorough explanation of the expectations that come along with adopting from The Piggy Place.****

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sienna, a Brooklyn Park Guinea Pig was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Guinea Pig for sale in Brooklyn Park, or seeking a Guinea Pig from a breeder in Brooklyn Park.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn Park already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brooklyn Park breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Guinea Pig breeders who help with Guinea Pig rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn Park paves the way for another one to be saved.

20 years ago when we bought this house, the pipes that the downspouts go into were all old clay tiles and had collaped in the yard. The first project we did was to have a guy come out and dig trenches, lay PVC pipe & connect the downspouts. It was wonderful for a few years, but now:
1. The three downspouts in the back all run into one central point underground and are tied into one pipe, then that pipe goes to the back of my property. Behind the fence is a ravine that is "wild" - not mowed, etc. Sometime over the years a mulberry bush took root right over the outlet to that drain pipe. The roots are now completely blocking the pipe. 2. The three downspouts in the front also run into a central point and tie into one pipe, that has an outlet at the curb. That pipe is blocked by roots from the silver maple trees. I had a plumber come out and look at the situation. He wanted $400 to roto-root the entire system, and he said he'd have to come every year to keep the system cleaned out. The guy was honest and said with the ravine and trees, it's a losing battle. I am considering just getting splash blocks and not even trying to fight the losing battle. What do you think? Are splash blocks effective in routing water away from the house? |
Follow-Up Postings:
No, that's not going to take the water that far from the house. There are a couple of less-expensive alternatives. Note: we had a similar situation--the downspouts on our 90 year old home connected into terracotta pipe that supposedly went to the street (but as you can imagine, didn't work). We found a VERY inexpensive solution--that had other advantages as well. We installed rain barrels. That way, the water didn't go down the blocked pipes, didn't sit along our foundation, and we could save it to water our garden later. When we got a lot of rain (and knew the barrels would fill), we had hoses connected to the rain barrels, which we pulled out to the back of the property and opened the faucets so the barrels wouldn't overflow, or divert the water into the non-working drainage system. Pretty effective solution--especially since we bought the barrels at the end of the season and were able to get $89 rain barrels for only $25 each!!!!! You couldn't make them for that! There's another interesting alternative we were looking at. A little more expensive than rain barrels. Wish I could recall the name of it (DH would know, but he's out). It's a system of extentions you put on your downspouts, they're sort of flattish (cross section would be a trapezoid), brown, so they aren't overly noticeable, and you route them through your garden--they channel the water away from the house, but they're perforrated so they distribute the water where it will water your lawn or garden. |
I've been wanting rain barrels. I live in Ohio where it rains a lot so I would need robust overflow set-ups. Thanks for the idea. Can you ask DH what that other thing is called? |
We have found that if you regularly dissolve some copper sulphate in water and pour it down the drain (say once a month) it discourages root growth. |
Try searching for Invisaflow--we saw the product a while ago, and DH was having trouble recalling the brand name, too. Lowe's has Invisaflow, and it really looks like an interesting product that we may consider at some point in the future, even though our new house doens't have those underground pipes, nor a wet basement problem. They just look like a great way to distribute water away from the house. |
or more barrels in series..helps to store more water.. if you get way too much water..a pump and a nozzle to spray the water else were... -dkenny |

Is the Recession Over?
Fed watchers and George W.
Even as people in
While I, too, hope this recession is over, I am not as confident as a Republican pollster or a Times reporter. The policies the Fed cooked up during the mid-1990s that brought on the unsustainable boom (mistakenly called the "New Economy") are also the policies that Greenspan employed in the last year, ostensibly to give us a "soft landing." The government is now engaged in a number of foolish regulatory ventures that certainly will make economic life more difficult as we seek to climb out of this latest downturn.
Some history is in order here. In 1980, right during the heat of the
By the fall of 1981, however, the
In fact, the real recovery did not begin until the latter stages of 1982, but it became strong enough by 1984 that
Will the present recovery run out of steam, or is it a precursor to the next boom (or, should we say, unsustainable boom)? No one can answer that question right now, and that includes all of the "experts" who are armed with the latest econometric models. We can say for certain, however, that the policies of Greenspan's Federal Reserve System in the past year have paved the way for a mini-boom, but also another bust.
At last report, the Fed had cut its key lending rate to less than 2 percent in hopes of stimulating large amounts of business borrowing. At the same time,
First, low interest rates, and especially those that are artificially low, as is the case here, not only stimulate borrowing that would not have occurred otherwise, but also depress savings rates.
Second, with depressed savings rates also comes less money that can be made available for future capital formation. As Murray Rothbard has noted, capital formation that is appropriate to a particular economy can come about only through saving, not through the Fed's gyrations.
The pertinent question, then, is this: How much "malinvestment" has the Fed brought into our current economy through its attempts to artificially lower interest rates? If this "recovery" is based upon those malinvestments, it will not be long before they must be liquidated.
On the other hand, if business borrowing was not artificially stimulated even when the Fed did its interest rate magic (accompanied, of course, by aggressive open market operations), then the current recovery could be a long, sustained one.
While I like to think of myself as an optimist, I think we need to be cautious before Greenspan and Bush declare victory. For one, much of the current economic growth seems to be tied to war spending, which is increasing at record rates, along with the growth of government at all levels in the wake of the September 11 destruction.
Although socialists and Keynesians might believe that capitalism can only flourish in the presence of international conflict, Austrians have a more sound take on the whole matter: war is always economically destructive, both on the countries where war is waged and on the country that wages it.
The carnage that U.S. Armed Forces have inflicted upon
Of course, the regulatory monster has hardly stopped to burp in the last few years. One of the quieter--and sadder--legacies of the last boom was that both political parties rushed to impose even more regulations upon the economy. Since regulations are implemented over time, it is often difficult to gauge their effectiveness during those first few years.
For example, the real force of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 was not felt until the spring of 2000, when new gasoline reformulation regulations kicked in and wreaked havoc across the country, sending gasoline prices through the roof.
Please understand that I am not predicting another recession to occur next month or even next year. We need to remember, however, that between the Fed's interference with the natural rate of interest and the desire of politicians to load the economy with even more regulation, someone must bear the cost.
Just as we have learned once again that the "New Economy" is not recession proof, we are also going to learn that the old rules of free markets still apply: if government interferes with the ability of people to freely engage in exchange and production, sooner or later, the economy as a whole will feel the punch.

hi Ned i am watching this with interest. looks really neat and tidy. one thing i do want to ask is on the screws . are they metal or plastic. if metal did you use a fibre washer. keep the story coming mate.. len
Looking fantastic!
Hi Len,
The screws are s/s with a black treatment to prevent any type of corrosion. I have had a few head up ass moments of late and ordered nylon washers. Luckly, I received a high high melting point nylon. I should have ordered teflon or fiber. After a lot of consideration, I would find the head diameter of the screw, then order a washer that comes as close as possible. Over size, not under.
The Star mounts are symmetrical, the die is not. If you look back in the thread to the picture of the die, you will see what I mean. So, it's important to pick a washer that will allow it to lay flat on the Star.
great stuff, looking forward to the rest of the build.
LEDs need wire
Look closely at the Stars and you can see where the thermal compound has oozed out around the star. If you look at the Star in the lower right, you will see the results of a broken tap. With a lot of work, I managed to get the tap out with a tap extractor and help from a few naughty words. OK, a lot, seeing as how I did not have the right size. Another trip to the hardware store.
Walton Tap extractors made this possible. Sadly, the tip of the tap had broken off and I needed to drill it out. No more tapping blind holes! By the time I was finished, I needed to fill the hole with metal filled epoxy, re-drill for 6:32 (better thread holding ability).
So much for that.
Onward to the soldering.
Know from the start that the Stars and the will do their damnedest to remove all the heat from where you are applying it. This means that the little 20 or 30 watt soldering iron will simply not cut it. If you have a soldering station rated at 40 watts or above, you have a chance. Set the temperature on the soldering station to 800 degrees F.
Pre-tin the the wire and the pad. To do this, apply the iron to the pad and start feeding solder to the point where the iron tip meets the pad. Apply just a coating, not a glob. This picture gives you the basic idea
Do the same with the wire. Strip about 1/2 inch of the insulation off the wire with wire strippers. Twist the wires together and apply the tip of the iron to the wire and feed just enough solder to coat it. You should be able to see the definition of each of the wires when done correctly. If you have too much solder on the wire, clean the tip and touch it to the wire. It will wick the solder away, back to the tip.
Now, with wire cutters, trim the tinned end to about 1/4 inch and lay it on the pad. Aim the wire toward it's destination.
Put a small bit of solder on the iron tip and apply it to the pad and wire. As It get's hot, feed a small amount of solder until
it flows about the wire and pad. In the picture above, notice the angle of the tip. You need to transfer more heat to the joint to overcome the action of the heatsink, so lower the angle so more of the tip is in contact with the wire and pad.
The wire will become to hot to handle with your fingers, and, as you don't have three hands, have a sacrificial buddy hold it.
Just kidding Use some thing heavy to hold the wire in place. A small bag or sock filled with sand works well.
Remember not to move anything until the solder has solidified.
This is the best I could do as a close up, The joint has enough solder, yet the wires are clearly defined.
This is important and most folks don't bother because they have never been told about it.
The brownish material around the joint is the Rosen Activator. It's in the core of the solder and cleans the metal so a good joint is possible. While most Rosen is not active after soldering and it's save to ignore it, this is an exception. Rosen core is active at roughly 150 degrees and up. This means that when the lights are on, it's possible for the flux to become active and, over time, damage the solder joint.
So, go spend the $$ and purchase a spray can of Flux remover and clean all your work. You will need a couple of small, inexpensive stiff brushes also
Now, if you are really cheap, you can always use turpentine, followed by a Isopropyl Alcohol rinse. NOT rubbing alcohol, which is 30% water. You need Anhydrous USP 99% Isopropyl Alcohol. It should be available at your pharmacist. You will need a couple of small, inexpensive stiff brushes also. In the States, we call them acid brushes.

wow, excellent, keep it up.
Wires need connectors…and controllers… and power supplies
Here we enter a jungle. I have 4 (or soon will have) heatsinks that need to be attached in some way to the controller. That will involve 8 wires per heatsink or 32 total.
Having a bundle of wire that is soldered in place at beginning and end is out of the question. So, it's connector time.
This brings other items that need to be considered.
1) The location of the power supplies,
2) The location of the controller,
3) How the panels are going to be mounted and suspended,
4) Murphy. (The British stage magician Nevil Maskelyne wrote in 1908:
"It is an experience common to all men to find that, on any special occasion, such as the production of a magical effect for the first time in public, everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Whether we must attribute this to the malignity of matter or to the total depravity of inanimate things, whether the exciting cause is hurry, worry, or what not, the fact remains."
In the beginning, I had considered hanging the whole thing from the ceiling. This proved to be an unworkable for many reasons, least of which was the attitude from my wife which starts "Where do you get those *&^%$# ideas? "
On to Plan 2, I would build an enclosure for the panels and put the controller and power supplies in it as well. Then I would mount it on top of the tank. Oh well, that reduces the access to the tank and the hood would need to be 18 plus inches high. Rats.
Plan 3, Nothing, nada, zip!
Then, I was reviewing one of Davross threads and came across the answer.
I blatantly grabbed the picture he posted of his build. Most Excellent build!
and cropped it.
and shopped it.
What I plan on is to build an enclosure much like this, put the support tubes inside the enclosure or bolt on to the back. If it works, it will be able to slide it back to front on a mating support mounted on the wall (bolted into the studs).
That would allow me to put all the electrical stuff in the stand. Rats, what about the controller?
If I put the controller in the LED enclosure, I only need to run 4 sets of power to the controller. No long signal lines to get fuzzed. Hummmm.
Oh. You have not seen the controller yet. Well, lets fix that right now. (Build details later...)
Top view
Side view 115 mm high x 55mm wide and 85 mm long
Each board will drive 24 LEDs.
7 boards.
4 each 4 channel Power LED shields with the Buck Pucks.
this is from http://www.chestersgarage.com/store/...ed-shield-kit/
1 each Arduino Duemilanove,
1 each Nokia 5110 LED Shield
1 each Prototype shield with the clock, temperature (and the LED control circuit that is no longer needed)
I plan on using the room vacated be the LED control for a fan controller on another shield.
I'm drawing up the plans for the hood and the mounting hardware. I'll build the hood next week if at all possible. The mounting hardware will take a bit longer as I don't have the tools to work with tubing. That needs to be powder coated, etc, etc.
I also will modify the heatsinks a bit. Figure out a connector plan and get more wiring finished.
More about that later as the actual work gets done.

The LEDs need a home
So I finally needed to design one and build it.
First, the sketch. This is about the 4th revision...
After I cut the wood, I dry fitted it with tape to make sure that it was going to work. Then, I made the heatsink supports.
I bought some 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/16 inch aluminum angle and cut it to 12 inch lengths (length of the heatsinks). Then on a table saw, I trimmed one side to 3/8 inch so it would not get to close to the Stars. If you are going to do the same, I suggest that you use a 80 or more tooth, thin blade. Set the blade height to just cut through the stock. Place a 1/2 x 3 inch piece of wood inside the angle and use that to hold the work next to the fence and keep your fingers out of the way. Use a push stick to feed the work through the blade.
Then drilled 3 holes on the 1/2 inch side. I set up a jig on a drill press so I could drill the holes in the same place on all the angles.
Then I removed all the machining burrs with a file and sandpaper and cleaned them with Acetone.
(Do this outside and wear gloves). Then I cleaned the long edges of the heatsinks the same way.
Now, look around for your coral glue. If it's a Ethyl Cyanoacrylate gel based product, your good to go. If not, get a new tube of Ethyl Cyanoacrylate gel. The stuff I use is distributed by bSi called IC-Gel.
Take a cleaned panel and place the long edge next to a stable vertical surface
Run a thin line of the gel down the center of the 3/8 inch leg.
Place the angle against the vertical surface and slide it down until in comes in contact with the heatsink while maintaining pressure to keep the heatsink next to the vertical surface.
Slide the angle back and forth a tiny bit. Center it on the heatsink. Place your fingers on angle and press it down on the heatsink. Slide your fingers back and forth to distribute the glue. Hold for about 30 seconds. MAKE sure that the edge of the angle is flush with the edge of the heatsink!
If you glue you finger(s) to the heatsink, DO NOT PULL them off. Peel, Don't pull! Use the acetone to help release the bond. Wash your hands and apply hand cream when finished.
Take the heatsinks and position them on the front or back pieces. The 90 you glued to the heatsink is positioned at the upper edge of the slot. After you get them positioned, mark all the holes with a pencil. If you made and used a jig to drill the holes in the angles, you can transfer the hole locations with a square. If not, drill you pilot holes and mount the heatsinks. Carefully turn the assembly over and place it on top of the other board. Adjust and mark the hole locations. Drill the pilot holes. Hint: Prior to mounting the heatsinks, drive the screws you are going to use into the holes. This will make it MUCH easier to mount the panels when the time comes.
I used #8 x 3/8 pan head sheet metal screws (I sure wish the US would convert to metric...). I drilled 3 holes in each bracket. Two will do the trick
As you can see in the picture above, the angles are bonded and the mounting holes have been pilot drilled.
Checking the fit of the panels again
OK, time to glue it up.
The end cap is not glued in. I put wax paper around it so I could glue in a brace.
The idea is that the end cap is attached from the inside. This lets me remove it to slide out the glass for cleaning and access to the panels.
The end pane attachment point
Sanded, stained, waxed with the panels installed
This assembly weighs in at 35 pounds at this point. I expect another 5 pounds or so consisting of the controller, fans, glass, etc.
Now that the hood is 90% complete, I need to see how the Hood Support is coming along.
About a week ago, I made a bunch of sketches, a couple of phone calls and came up with this.
4 each 3/4 inch inside diameter steel tubing
2 each 3/4 inch outside diameter steel tubing bent 90 degrees
2 each wall mounting plate
2 each hood mounting plate
4 each ball lock pins, 1/4 inch diameter x 1 inch long or nuts and bolts
1 each Starphire glass LED cover 8 7/8 x 51 7/8 x 1/4
Clamp the inner and outer tube together and drill 1/4 inch holes through to allow for adjustment.
McMaster-Carr - Aluminum Ball Lock Pins
The vertical tubes are spot welded to mounting plates and screwed into the wall studs. The horizontal tubes welded to an end cap with mounting flanges that will bolt onto the light fixture. My son is doing the fabrication and, with any luck, I'l see it in a week or two.HTML Code:http://www.mcmaster.com/#aluminum-ball-lock-pins/=88u1ax
The next thing on the agenda is the wiring from the panels to the controller.
lovely stuff.... keep it coming.....
oh my god... i wish i really could create something like you are doing for my 2ft cube...
what an achievement..! well done mate...

Terminator Sparrows?
Soulskill posted about 2 years ago | from the they'll-be-back-...-from-the-dead dept.
138AstroPhilosopher writes "In a move not far removed from the model T-101, U.S. researchers have succeeded in re-animating a dead sparrow. Duke scientists were studying male behavior aggression among sparrows. They cleverly decided to insert miniaturized robotics into an empty sparrow carcass and operate it like a puppet (abstract). It worked; they noticed wing movements were a primary sign of aggression. Fortunately the living won out this time. The experiment stopped after the real sparrows tore off the robosparrow's head. But there's always a newer model on the assembly-line. Good luck sparrows." Bad Horse has not yet made a decision on the researchers' application.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)One of America's most strident liberal voices, George McGovern, dies at 90
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
October 21st, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) His name alone conjured up leftist, liberal politics for at least a decade. George McGovern is perhaps best known for running unsuccessfully against President Richard M. Nixon in 1972, but never stopped speaking up for what he believed was right. McGovern has passed away at the age of 90. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Serving South Dakota in the U.S. Senate and House for more than two decades, George Stanley McGovern passed away at the Doughtery Hospice House in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, surrounded by family and friends."We are blessed to know that our father lived a long, successful and productive life advocating for the hungry, being a progressive voice for millions and fighting for peace," a statement from his family read. President Barack Obama praised McGovern as someone who showed a lifelong love of country. "When the people of South Dakota sent him to Washington, this hero of war became a champion for peace," the president said in a written statement. "And after his career in Congress, he became a leading voice in the fight against hunger. George was a statesman of great conscience and conviction." Many agree that McGovern left the United States a different nation. "I think he'll be remembered, obviously, for his stance on the war in Vietnam," Bill Richardson, the former governor of New Mexico said, "but also for his contributions on agriculture, on hunger. "And then the Democratic Party. He transformed the party, the primary system, getting minorities involved. He was a gigantic figure and a classy, good, good guy." The son of a Methodist minister who was a Republican, McGovern was born in Avon, South Dakota in 1922. His debating skills in high school won him a scholarship to Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell, where he met fellow student Eleanor Stegeberg. Three years later, they married. All five of their children were born in Mitchell. In 1942, McGovern enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces and went on to fly 35 combat missions as a B-24 bomber pilot in Europe. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Many said it was ironic that McGovern was a hero in World War II while being one of the staunchest critics of the Vietnam War. He returned to Dakota Wesleyan University in 1950 as a professor of history and political science, leaving in 1955 to help the South Dakota Democratic Party and launch his political career. He won a seat in Congress in 1956. He was re-elected two years later. In 1962, he was elected to the Senate. McGovern was re-elected in 1968 and 1974. He served on Senate committees on agriculture, nutrition, forestry and foreign relations, and the Joint Economic Committee. McGovern was selected as the Democratic Party nominee for president in 1972 on a platform that included ending the war in Vietnam at a time when the country was torn over U.S. involvement there. "Let us resolve that never again will we send the precious young blood of this country to die trying to prop up a corrupt military dictatorship abroad," he said, to applause, at the Democratic convention in Miami Beach, Florida. McGovern lost hard against incumbent Richard Nixon, with the McGovern ticket earning only 17 electoral votes to Nixon's 520. While very disappointed, McGovern remained a servant to the public. Sen. John Kerry said Sunday that McGovern never let the political popularity of a subject determine whether he supported a cause. "George McGovern was a voice of clarity and conviction at a time when America needed it most," Kerry said. "He spoke to many of us who opposed the war but loved our country, because he was the genuine article, a soft-spoken, decent and gentle man who lived a remarkable life with humility." .

I... Want To Be Remembered... Even, If Its In A Bad Way...
I walk down the school hallways staring at the ground, my backpack swinging in front of me after every stride. Another day, the same boring schedule. Kids walk past me in their cliques talking. Their voices sound distant, like everyone is shouting and I'm plugging my ears. A group of giggling girls wearing butt tight jeans and cropped tops run into me, knocking me into a set of lockers. Typical. I am practically invisible here. But no use telling myself things I already know, I look like a freak just standing against the locker scowling at nothing, for the girls have already moved on. Picking up my bag I continue onto my class. Then the next one and the next, till the day is over.
"You're home." My mom states, not even looking up from her book she's working on. She's always sitting there. Writing. Never moving. Me and my siblings cook for ourselves. We clean, shop, pay the bills. We are the adults of the household. I nod and continue on my way. I pass by the living room where my older sister is sitting on the couch in front of the TV, her eyes glued to a sappy teenage romance novel. She's addicted to those. I don't even need to look around to know that her books are littering the floor. She has a million. Literally. I head upstairs to where me and my younger brothers room is. We share one while my sister and mom get their own. We think its unfair but my mom says sister is bigger so she gets her own room. She doesn't change our minds.
"Welcome Home Olivia." My brother calls to me from our room. Olivia. That's my name. I Love My Name. I walk down the long hall to reach my brother. He smiles up at me with his big blue eyes and wide grin. "I Made The D And D Map." He leads me over to the table where there is a poorly rolled brown scroll tied up in a sloppy bow. I start to untie the ribbon but my brother stops me. "Wait... Lets Go To The Shed." I nod. The shed is our secret base. We found it when we first moved into the house. Only me and him know about it. We quickly walk downstairs and out the back door, making sure we don't make any noise. We don't want to be followed.
The grass is tall and scratches against my stomach. The dry grass crunches under my feet. I can barely see the tip of my brothers head poking out. Its funny. We run into the forest behind my house. It's lush trees hide us from the blazing hot sun and anything else wanting to cause us harm. We start to run, we feel free. We can do whatever we want here. It's our real home. It pays attention to us, protects us, hides us from the harsh reality. It listens. We make it to the shed. Dark green vines climb up its rusty metal walls and over the roof, tangling together. There is a hole in the trees canopy where the sun shines through, landing on the shed like a spotlight. Dust particles float around like feathers in the light. It all looks simply magical. We enter the shed. In the center is a small, round, wooden table. There are two small chairs and a bench. We sit on the bench together and roll out the map. We dive into our world, never to return to earth. Our amazing world where we can destroy the evils that torture us and make friends with the natives like Elves and Teiflings. Where we are loved.
We would love to never leave our world, but all good things have to come to an end and as the sun goes down we must return to reality. We roll up the map and sneak in through the back door, Through the kitchen where mom is engulfed in her work, past the living room where my older sis is still sitting on the couch, up the stairs and down the seemly never-ending hallway, to our room. We hide the scroll in a small hole in the wall and then lay down next to each other in our queen-sized bed...
"Why Can't We Stay..."
I know what he means. He's asking why can't we stay out there in the shed. Why can't we stay in our perfect world?
"We Can't Just Disappear..."
"Why Not?" He looks over at me. He looks so sad... Why can't we leave?
"They'll Look For Us..." I start to say.
"They Don't Care. We're Nothing Special." He snaps.
Were nothing special... It's true. If we weren't here, nothing would be different. It would change nobodies life. Nobody would notice... It wouldn't matter. We don't matter. I smile and look into my brothers eyes... Those big blue eyes.
"One Day We'll Get Out Of Here."
I look up at the ceiling and slide my hand into my brothers.
"I Promise." I will keep this promise. It will happen. We will leave. We'll live in our world where we can hurt those who ignore us. It will be a beautiful day... I promise.

Dakin Humane Society warns public of fundraising scamJuly 9, 2014 |
G. Michael Dobbs Harris explained to Reminder Publications that over the past month, the Springfield and Leverett-based animal welfare organization has received a dozen or more reports of the activities of the two unknown women who have been asking for money in Springfield, Holyoke, West Springfield and Westfield. She added the police in those communities have been notified. "I fear we will never see a dime of the money and they are using it for their own purposes," Harris said. A statement released by Dakin noted, "The solicitors are described as women, usually two working together, with small dogs on leashes. They are collecting money in coffee cups, and they tend to approach people as they are entering or leaving their vehicles. Unlike most legitimate solicitors, they don't collect at or near the doors of these establishments, and they are known to become rude and defensive when their legitimacy has been questioned. Despite their claims to be collecting funds on Dakin's behalf, we have seen no evidence of this." Harris said of the scam, "This is the first time to our knowledge." Harris added there is plenty of people who undertake "grassroots" efforts to support Dakin ranging from children raising funds through a lemonade stand to office workers staging a drive for pet food. She suggested that people who are planning such efforts should contact Dakin and let the staff know what they are planning to do. The statement also read, "For anyone who is planning to collect funds or items to benefit Dakin, we ask that you contact us first at 781-4000 ext. 136. We will ask you to fill out a simple form that will officially register your fundraising effort and allow us to stay apprised of your efforts on our behalf, for which we thank you." Harris asked if people are approached by the two women to call Dakin at 781-4000 ext. 122. |

I had a euro box Sealy and now I'm laying in deep indentations. I want a firm mattress. Also do I have to buy their box spring or can I use the one I have. It's only 5-6 yrs old and looks new. Does it effect the mattress warranty if I use someone else s box spring?Linda
Hi Linda. The Rhone, our Bouquet, is the level 0 cushion firm. This is the starting model. The Grenoble, our Caravelle, is the level 2 firm. There is more than one extra layer in the Grenoble. It also has a layer of latex. If you are looking for a very firm mattress, the Grenoble is it. You could always add a topper to it if it felt too stiff.
Sealy owns S&F, and your boxsprings aren't very old. However, you should know that if something happens to your new mattress because of your old boxspring, then it will void the warranty. It's a matter of how much risk you are willing to take.
