WASHINGTON, Oct. 31As a human fetus develops, its heart has to keep pace with the new body's ever-growing demands. Much of this is controlled by following genetic blueprints, but the embryonic heart also matures in response to the intense stresses of pumping blood. For the first time, researchers have been able to visualize in 3-D the stresses induced by flowing blood in an embryonic heart. The technique, which promises to provide new insight into how and why heart defects develop, is described in a paper published today in the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal Biomedical Optics Express.
The researchers, led by Andrew M. Rollins, an associate professor of biomedical engineering at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, looked at a particular type of stress in the heart known as shear stress, which is simply the parallel force of one material sliding along another. In the developing heart, shear stress is induced in the heart's own endocardial cells as blood cells rush past them. Normally, such shear stress helps to control and regulate cellular processes involved in heart development. Even tiny aberrations in the heart beat, however, can alter blood flow patterns and change these developmental forces, leading to congenital heart defects such as abnormal valve formation.
"All previous attempts at shear-stress mapping have been two dimensional, but the 3-D geometry of the embryonic heart is changing hour by hour at these early stages, and the shape of the heart twists and turns as it develops," says Rollins, "so a 2-D projection doesn't really provide a good approximation."
Rollins and his colleagues at Case Western Reserve developed their new imaging method by modifying a technique called Doppler optical coherence tomography, or OCT. In OCT, a beam of infrared light is shined on a tissue and the "echoes" (or reflections) of that light produced at varying depths are used to make an image. "It is just like RADAR

Criminal charges against a Bartlett woman who fatally shot her husband last month were dropped today after a review of the case pointed to self defense.
Dorothy Bobbi Lovell, 42, was charged with voluntary manslaughter after shooting her husband, Alan Lovell, 46, with a .357-caliber Magnum on Oct. 12. He was a ticket agent and well-known boxing referee.
She and her 21-year-old son, Kody, told police Lovell had held them hostage for nine hours in their home at 6954 Scepter Cove. They said Lovell had acted irrationally and had pointed a gun at them several times and would not let them leave.
Bartlett police said they had been called to the home several times in the past on complaints of Lovells aggressive behavior.
Asst. Dist. Atty. Gen. Thomas Henderson said late today that after reviewing the police investigation of the shooting the evidence did not support a manslaughter charge and appeared to be self defense. The case was dismissed in Bartlett City Court.

Many forces in today's world of big data are driving applications to become more real-time. Data needs to go many places, be sorted and stored in different formats, and used in a wide variety of ways. Capturing high volume data streams inside and outside datacenters can be complicated and expensive using traditional software messaging middleware on general purpose servers. In order to realize the full value of "big data" some organizations are switching to real-time message-oriented middleware appliances that excel at the high-speed distribution of large volumes of data.

Ft. Hood, Hasan And Some On The Left's Tone Deafness
You can't beat the left for not getting the message or understanding the problem, can you:
[Montel Williams, on his Air America program] suggested on Monday that the Fort Hood backlash against Muslims could be so great we would put Muslims in internment camps like the Japanese under Franklin Roosevelt:
WILLIAMS: We pulled something like this back in World War II when we decided to round up all Japanese Americans and put them in internment camps. This is something that I think before we can blink, the [anti-Muslim] rhetoric, Doc, could get out of hand. What do you think?
FRANK FARLEY, psychologist, Temple University: I agree totally. I mean, the possibilities of prejudice and racism and so on are incredible here. You know, we should be treating this as a unique incident and look at the factors involved in this very unique and specific incident, and not overgeneralize. Unfortunately, we tend to overgeneralize all the time. The idea that all Muslims are the same is ridiculous….
Everybody's got their own personal qualities and individual differences and let's just treat this as a very specific incident and try to figure out why this particular person did this particular thing.
WILLIAMS: Absolutely. No matter what it comes out to, at the end of the day, even if it comes out in the last five months and all his anxiety around his impending deployment, he decided his frame of reference was his religion and that was what was giving him, you know, the power within himself to make his stand, that doesn't mean that the religion is to blame.
FARLEY: Absolutely, it's his interpretation of everything, and his interpretation [of Islam] may vary dramatically from his fellow Muslims.
Wow. As much as I cautioned people to give the facts a chance to come out before coming to conclusions about Hasan, this is just an example of some incredible denial going on here. We now have facts – lots of facts – and informed conclusions can be drawn.
And let's deal with the internment camp nonsense. That happened because a liberal Democratic president signed an Executive Order (Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942) which enabled US citizens of a particular national background to be interned (a total violation of their civil rights). Is he really suggesting that because we have a liberal Democrat president again in the White House that history may repeat itself. Or is he as ignorant of history as most and assuming it was done by mean, nasty right-wing types?
Something else that sort of hits me here – if there was no "backlash" against muslims after 9/11, why do these yahoos think there will be one now? Who is it who will be involved in this backlash and why is this incident so different from 9/11 that it will spark the backlash 9/11 didn't? I don't know. But I would think that the American people, who sorted that out the last time, will sort it out this time as well.
Are there prudent steps to be taken in light of what has happened at Ft. Hood as concerns muslim soldiers? Yes. Given Ft. Hood, the Little Rock incident and the fragging incident in Iraq, all involving muslim soldiers or muslims attacking soldiers, I'd say that it would be prudent to screen the reported 3,500 muslim military members (discretely and unobtrusively as possible) given the deadly action of two (as I recall, the left was all for a purge of the military to look for neo-nazis and white supremacists) . And yes that means, given the unique situation our military is in (fighting in two muslim countries) and the possible conflict that may bring to the minds of some who are of the dominant religion of those two countries – that we're "profiling". But then, while it is the antithesis of political correctness, it is the smart thing to do. Show me a compelling reason to screen the rest of the military for those who might be in a similar situation and I'd be for that as well.
Should there be procedures put in place that would encourage the reporting of language or actions that appear to support a radicalized person – be it through religion or ideology? Yes, there should. And the chain of command must be made to take such reports seriously, investigate them thoroughly and act if necessary. Or said another way, political correctness and the fear of being censured if you do report such utterances or actions, must be banned from the military.
Finally, people like Williams and Farley must be pointed out and ridiculed because it is their sort of denial which leads to incidents like Ft. Hood. We all need to grow up a bit, quit taking everything as an insult and understand that your feelings don't take precedence over someone else's life. Yes, we're diverse. Yes, we're an amalgamation of peoples.
However, if you are consistently being bitten on the leg by dogs, you don't go looking for cats or chickens. We have to learn to honestly and forthrightly address the threat. Radical Islam has been attacking us since the embassy takeover in Iran 30 years ago. They are the ones we should be looking for right now – and you're not going to find them among Christian, atheist or Jewish military personnel.
The threat appears to be a segment of Islam that becomes violently radicalized and strikes out at those it considers "infidels". In the case of Hasan that was obviously anyone within reach. And, as experts say, self-generated jihadis are not unusual and are, as we've found out, more dangerous than those with organized connections (those with organized connections are easier to find and track). Given all I've read about Hasan – and it has been a lot – that's what I believe he is. A self-generated jihadi who became increasingly radicalized over the years to the point that he finally decided he must act.
I understand and appreciate the attempts to warn us off of using too broad a brush. That was one of the points of my previous post that generated so much discussion. But it is no longer a secret that there are radicals among the religion of Islam who find it to be their duty to do similar acts to those of Hasan. Pretending Hasan wasn't one of those stretches credulity to the max. The first day of the shootings – yes, a perfectly acceptable argument. We had few facts and much of what was reported we subsequently found out was wrong. However now, given the veritable avalanche of information which has been provided about this man and verified, it is more than a little lame to pretend he might have been something our experience and the facts tell us he's not.
Willams and Farley do a disservice to us all by claiming those who have concluded his religion radicalized him and was the reason he did what he did are "overgeneralizing". Not anymore. Sure it was a "specific incident" as Farley claims, but so was 9/11. And after we learned about each of the radicals who committed that atrocity we found men not unlike Nadal Malik Hasan, didn't we?

Pontiff Pontificates On Economics … Badly
When it comes to economics, the Pope should stick to poping. While it's not uncommon for the papacy to issue decrees and opinions vaguely in line with common socialist principles (e.g. love thy neighbor, etc.), it is somewhat rare for the Pope to outright call for one-world government:
Pope Benedict XVI on Tuesday called for a radical rethinking of the global economy, criticizing a growing divide between rich and poor and urging the establishment of a "world political authority" to oversee the economy and work for the "common good."
He criticized the current economic system, "where the pernicious effects of sin are evident," and urged financiers in particular to "rediscover the genuinely ethical foundation of their activity."
He also called for "greater social responsibility" on the part of business. "Once profit becomes the exclusive goal, if it is produced by improper means and without the common good as its ultimate end, it risks destroying wealth and creating poverty," Benedict wrote in his new encyclical, which the Vatican released on Tuesday.
I wonder what happened to leave to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's? Or how about that whole concept of "free will"; you know the very basis and foundation of our religious "faith" (which, of course, can only come from choice and not from force)? That seems to be under indictment with Pope Benedict's latest encyclical.
Leaving aside world governance for the moment, the Pope really goes off the rails when he gets into economic policy. For example, at one point he decries "globalization" and "outsourcing" as little more than the rich preying on the poor:
Indeed, sometimes Benedict sounds like an old-school European socialist, lamenting the decline of the social welfare state and praising the "importance" of labor unions to protect workers. Without stable work, he notes, people lose hope and tend not to get married and have children.
But he also wrote that "The so-called outsourcing of production can weaken the company's sense of responsibility towards the stakeholders — namely the workers, the suppliers, the consumers, the natural environment and broader society — in favor of the shareholders."
In short, managers should run their companies for the benefit of those who whine about the common good rather than for those who actually paid for the company (i.e. the shareholders). I'm guessing this is the "squeaky wheel" part of the sermon.
Yet, while outsourcing is deemed "bad", the Pope also laments that poor countries aren't better taken care of by richer ones. Towards that end
Benedict also called for a reform of the United Nations so that there could be a unified "global political body" that allowed the less powerful of the earth to have a voice, and he called on rich nations to help less fortunate ones.
"In the search for solutions to the current economic crisis, development aid for poor countries must be considered a valid means of creating wealth for all," he wrote.
Except for the fact that "development aid" is not wealth. Wealth is created through productivity, not handouts. Indeed, the surest and simplest way to aid development in poor countries to give them jobs … a.k.a "outsourcing." Doesn't that whole give a man a fish/teach a man to fish thing ring any bells, your Holiness? Moreover, the more things like outsourcing happen, then the greater wealth there is in the world, and the more work/wealth/happiness there is for everyone to enjoy. Again, I'm pretty sure that was something about loaves and fishes in the Bible that would help illustrate this point.
So much for Papal infallibility.
Just to be clear, I say all of this as a practicing Catholic who is raising his own children in the same tradition. I have great respect for the Pontif when it comes to matters of the spirit. I just wish he'd leave the day-to-day management to the rest of us.
Free Speech Under Assault In The West
Is it driven by fear?
Jonathan Turley, writing in the Washington Post, says that much of the West is becoming increasingly intolerant of certain speech.
But now an equally troubling trend is developing in the West. Ever since 2006, when Muslims worldwide rioted over newspaper cartoons picturing the prophet Muhammad, Western countries, too, have been prosecuting more individuals for criticizing religion. The "Free World," it appears, may be losing faith in free speech.
Among the new blasphemers is legendary French actress Brigitte Bardot, who was convicted last June of "inciting religious hatred" for a letter she wrote in 2006 to then-Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, saying that Muslims were ruining France. It was her fourth criminal citation for expressing intolerant views of Muslims and homosexuals. Other Western countries, including Canada and Britain, are also cracking down on religious critics.
Tolerance, it seems, is only reserved for speech which praises tolerance. If, instead, the speaker is intolerant of things for which the state believes they should be tolerant, there is no tolerance.
Heh … yeah, fairly convoluted but it certainly appears to be the case. And, of course, not all religions are equal in that regard. Speak of Islam or Muslims as Bardot did in France and face charges. Say similar things about Christianity, and expect your speech to be greeted with … tolerance.
There's a movement within the UN to ban religious defamation. It is backed by such paragons of religious freedom as Saudi Arabia. Imagine the fate of someone like Christopher Hitchens should such a resolution pass – it would certainly limit his ability, and most likely his desire, to travel, unless he's willing to risk being jailed in some backwater theocracy for blasphemy and the defamation of religion.
As it turns out, it doesn't even have to be a backwater theocracy for that to happen any more:
While it hasn't gone so far as to support the U.N. resolution, the West is prosecuting "religious hatred" cases under anti-discrimination and hate-crime laws. British citizens can be arrested and prosecuted under the 2006 Racial and Religious Hatred Act, which makes it a crime to "abuse" religion. In 2008, a 15-year-old boy was arrested for holding up a sign reading "Scientology is not a religion, it is a dangerous cult" outside the organization's London headquarters. Earlier this year, the British police issued a public warning that insulting Scientology would now be treated as a crime.
And, of course, you remember the infamous Canadian Human Rights Commission "trail" of Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant for daring to speak ill of Islam.
And, of course, this caught my eye in Turley's article:
No question, the subjects of such prosecutions are often anti-religious — especially anti-Muslim — and intolerant. Consider far-right Austrian legislator Susanne Winter. She recently denounced Mohammad as a pedophile for his marriage to 6-year-old Aisha, which was consummated when she was 9. Winter also suggested that Muslim men should commit bestiality rather than have sex with children. Under an Austrian law criminalizing "degradation of religious doctrines," the 51-year-old politician was sentenced in January to a fine of 24,000 euros ($31,000) and a three-month suspended prison term.
No doubt, then, this is just fine by the Austrians. After all, it is merely the implementation of the "religious doctrine" they feel compelled to protect by suppressing free speech:
A Saudi judge has refused for a second time to annul a marriage between an 8-year-old girl and a 47-year-old man, a relative of the girl told CNN.
The most recent ruling, in which the judge upheld his original verdict, was handed down Saturday in the Saudi city of Onaiza, where late last year the same judge rejected a petition from the girl's mother, who was seeking a divorce for her daughter.
Why should Austria say nothing about this?
"We hear a lot in the media about the marriage of underage girls," he said, according to the newspaper. "We should know that Sharia law has not brought injustice to women."
That's right – because pointing out this outrage against children would be considered a "degredation of religious doctrine" and the Gestapo state would prosecute you and put you in jail.
It's a sad day for free speech when speaking out against blatant child abuse and, more likely, pedophilia, can be considered a crime punishable by jail, isn't it?
In fact, it is a sad day for free speech when – in the name of "tolerance" and "acceptance" for things which have never been tolerated or acceptable in Western culture – speech is suppressed and punished.
But here we are.
Restaurant And Mosque Uneasy Neighbors
While some may want to make this a story about "Islam", it's not really. It is a pretty standard story in which some who disagree with what others choose to do, although perfectly legal, attempt to pressure the law to have their belief imposed on others use of their property.
On one side of the disagreement is a Muslim mosque, and some of its worshippers are unhappy about plans for a new restaurant that will serve alcohol.
On the opposing end of the clash is a business owner who says he's invested $1 million to upgrade a blighted building and has tried to accommodate Muslim worshippers during spiritual holidays.
The two entities – The Hill restaurant and the Anoor mosque – are a mere 191 feet apart.
According to the local law they should be at least 300 feet apart for the establishment to get a beer and wine license. As it turns out, front door to front door they're probably pretty close to that distance. But the distance is arbitrary anyway. And really, it's not about the distance, it is about the desire to control behavior. The distance just gives cause to that desire.
The possibility that the restaurant could serve as a local drinking hangout bothers mosque attendees like board member Nadeem Sidiqqi.
Islam prohibits the consumption of alcohol, but Sidiqqi said the protest isn't an attack on drinking in general, just a call for buffer zones for religious establishments.
"People may say 'we may not want to go to this mosque' if it's not a good environment," Sidiqqi said. "You want an area where you can bring your kids or your family."
Sure are a whole lot of assumptions going on in those three paragraphs, aren't there? And you'd like to believe this isn't really about "drinking in general", but obviously it is. Otherwise, there'd be no call for a buffer zone, would there?
As you'll see in the story, as you read it, the mosque is in a walled in court yard, and the restaurant has taken a building which was a neighborhood eyesore and rehabilitated it. The restaurant owner seems willing to accommodate the mosque during its holidays.
But the petition signing continues. Because, you see, those on the one side want those on the other side to do what they believe is the right thing, even though there's nothing wrong with what the other guys want to do nor is there any evidence that what they want to do will have an effect on the others.
As it turns out, it probably won't matter anyway. Apparently if the state of Tennessee grants the restaurant a liquor license, the 300 foot requirement is waived (again showing you how arbitrary and meaningless the number is).
Of course, my guess is, that won't sit well with the other bunch, and, unfortunately, this is just the beginning of the attempts to shut the restaurant down.
Oh, the location? Knoxville, TN – trust me the fact it is a mosque and not a church is only a matter of random circumstance. But it does point out that as much the cultural landscape is changes, it really remains pretty much the same.
Quote Of The Day
Michael Goodwin at the NY Daily News gives this assessment of Obama in a recent column:
He is the most radical President of our times, far outside the mainstream of our political philosophy.
He is not a reformer who fixes things. He fancies himself "transformative," a man who reshapes and reorders. It apparently begins with smashing the existing order under the pretext of managing the crisis he inherited.
During the campaign, a fellow journalist confided that "I know Obama is a Manchurian candidate, I just can't figure out what for."
I laughed then, but no more. Obama represents a secular religion that believes, no matter the malady, Washington is the antidote. More government is the chicken soup of his tribe.
In those four sentences, Goodwin capsulizes the essence of Obama and the "secular religion" he heads. Apparently we finally have a theocracy in place.

I have a single handle kitchen faucet that was installed 4yrs ago. Recently it started dripping. But if I turn the handle up and down(on and off) the dripping stops. So It does not drip constantly, but still it is an annoyance because I need to lift the handle up and down more than once to stop the dripping. My question is, is this a problem with washer/threads or should I replace the entire faucet? This is the second time I had to replace with a new faucet because our previous one was also doing the same thing and I did not care to repair it. Just replaced it and now in 4 yrs it is back to dripping. Please advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Likely new washers. They only cost a buck and replacement is a 10 min job compared to a lot more of both for a new faucet. Take the opportunity to inspect what's going on-- are you getting mineral accumulation or particulates that are causing the leak? Perhaps not much to be done about it, but at least you'll know. A washerless ceramic disk faucet might help in the longer run, but they are a lot more expensive than a couple of O-rings every few years. |

You will get a better response if you identify the make and model of the faucet. There are too many possible causes to just guess in the dark. |

Update 1:30 p.m.
Grand Prix Fire Update
No threat of fire in Claremont
Evacuation lifted for Mt. Baldy Village; Padua fire containment expected Sunday
One-stop local assistance center open in Claremont; dignitaries visit
"Boil Water" alert lifted in Claraboya
Wilderness Park to remain closed for time being
Claremont, CA -- Residents of Mt. Baldy Village have been allowed to return to their homes and Claremont is under no fire threat as firefighters have made excellent progress in containing the Padua fire. Full containment is expected Sunday, November 2.
The recovery process for Claremont-area residents impacted by the fire are in full swing. A "one-stop" Local Assistance Center is now open in Claremont at the Hughes Community Center, 1700 Danbury Road. The LAC is designed to be a place where persons impacted by the fire can get the information they need to begin the disaster recovery process, all in one place. This includes not only people who lost their homes but people that may have suffered other impacts as a result of the fire. The determination as to exactly who qualifies for aid is best made by the folks at the LAC, so its best to have people with detailed questions come to the LAC for an answer. Among the services/information that will provided at the LAC are rebuilding loans, housing assistance, public health screenings, rebuilding permits, property and income tax relief, unemployment benefits, welfare, and emotional support.
Residents from outside Los Angeles County can obtain assistance with state and federal programs at the Claremont LAC but will not be able to obtain assistance regarding programs offered through San Bernardino County.
Individuals coming to the LAC are encouraged to pre-register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) by calling (800) 550-5234.
The LAC's hours of operation are Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The LAC is closed Sundays. The LAC will remain in place as long as there is a need.
Several high level federal, state, and county officials have visited the LAC to tour the facility, speak with victims, and offer support for the recovery work being done. Officials touring the site have included Los Angeles County Supervisor for the 5th District Mike Antonovich, Governor Gray Davis, Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger, Secretary Tom Ridge of the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA Director Mike Brown, and Congressman David Dreier. Local officials had the opportunity to meet with these individuals to discuss the need for providing assistance to local victims of the fire.
Access to the Claraboya area is being controlled until Sunday evening, November 2. After that, a patrol officer will remain in the area until further notice.
Claraboya residents are encouraged to keep an eye out for any suspicious persons or activities in the area. No one knows the neighborhood better than they do. All suspicious activities can be reported by calling 9-1-1.
The City has installed temporary fencing with a locked gate around all damaged properties in the Claraboya area as a safety precaution. Property owners will be provided with a key. Contact the City's building division at (909) 399-5471 to arrange access to fenced properties.
The "Boil Water" alert issued for Claremont was lifted on Thursday evening. No contamination was found in samples collected from the area. A flyer announcing the lifting of the alert has been delivered to all homes in the affected area. Anyone with questions about water service can call Southern California Water at (800) 999-4033.
City building officials continue to conduct detailed evaluations of damaged homes. Owners of damaged and destroyed properties are strongly encouraged to contact the building division before beginning any major clearance or reconstruction work.
Large trash bins and dumpsters have been placed throughout the Claraboya neighborhood for residents needing to dispose of debris from the fire. Individuals wanting to rent their own containers or arrange for bulk item pickup can do so by calling (909) 399-5430.
Residents who live in Palmer Canyon, Padua Hills, and other unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County can contact a special hotline at (800) 980-4990 for information or Jay Gomez at County Supervisor Mike Antonovich's office at (909) 394-2264 with any questions or concerns.
The Wilderness Park remains closed till further notice. Several hotspots were discovered earlier today.
Staff is now preparing plans for dealing with mudslides that may result in the Wilderness Park area should heavy rains hit the area in the near future.
Anyone wanting to access Thompson Creek Trail should do so only with great caution as there is damage to much of the area surround the trail.
This website will be updated should the situation change significantly.

I guess that's the main difference between Florida, Oregon, and Alaska. We actually believe in freedom and constitutional carry... Perhaps you will get there someday, but it won't happen with attitudes like that... We need to speak with one voice.. Perhaps you all should spend some time here and learn the facts...OpenCarry.org - A Right Unexercised is a Right Lost!
I believe in carry, but not as a way for someone to prove that they are "macho".
BN-Life - NRA - NRA Certified Instructor - I'm not worried about terrorism, I was married, TWICE!
Flintlock, I respect your opinion and understand your belief in open carry and right to do so. I do however disagree with your blanket belief that if someone disagrees with your opinion that they are contributing or have the same belief as the anti-gun Brady group. I have lived in Alaska and I can understand how open carry can be acceptable to the majority of the population as Alaska is still considered the last great frontier. But, and this is a big but, the lower 48 is a complete different animal even though we would like to consider it the same. In my opinion you cant compare the environment in Alaska with the environment in most of the lower 48 states. An example is how would people in downtown Las Angles react to a moose walking down the street and how people in Alaska would react you just cant compare them as they are conditioned by their environment. In my opinion open carry is very similar as you can paint it with a broad brush and say accept it because I have the right and Im going to do it and even if it bothers a lot of people well thats their problem. I think education and a non-in your face approach is what is needed to correct the misconceptions that have pervaded our society on guns, but that is my opinion only. All Im saying is yes I believe in the right of open carry but I also believe in being responsible and respectful of other peoples beliefs and concerns. Again this is my opinion.
Open carry has caused the City Manager of Longmont Colorado to ask the City Attorney to draft an ordnance banning open carry in City Buildings and Library's. This is due to a loud mouth activist that comes to City Council meetings with his pistol on his hip. This same guy routinely comes into City Offices and the "Female Employees" are intimidated by seeing the pistol. They would not be IF he acted adult and didn't raise his voice about every issue dear to him. The City Manager has NO PROBLEM with CCW in the same facilities as they are not visible and people have a right to defend themselves. CCW holders would still be able to have their concealed firearms under the proposed law. Open Carry advocates: learn from this !

Bessey engineer gets an A from me
By Filtersmith
from Longmont, CO
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Bessey Auto-Adjust Horizontal Toggle Clamp High :
OK, so this is billed as an "auto-adjust" clamp. What that comes down to is that you select the clamping force once and then you're done. A huge range of thicknesses is accommodated; thick to thin, all are squeezed with the same force. This is accomplished with a very clever and compact mechanism. I mounted it temporarily and passed it around the table at gents' coffee, and everyone admired it as much as I did as it grabbed any of a selection of sticks. Force is adjusted with easily accessible screw, but you might need a small wrench to work the jam nut if you want to secure it in a production situation. I like the two-parameter adjustment of the pad: distance from pivot and height. You can see this aspect in the catalog photos, though the auto-adjust mechanism is not visibly obvious. As an engineer I want to take it apart, but I shall resist the temptation. It's so solidly put together I'd bust it in the attempt. Buy one, try it, and you'll be back for more.
Great product!
By assinippi
from Norwell MA
I bought these to add to a horizontal router table I had set up for mortising. I was constantly going between different thicknesses of stock and resetting my old toggle clamps for each stock thickness was a pain. I was skeptical at first but these work exactly as advertised. They get moved from one jig to another and my old toggle clamps, which I have lots of, don't get used any more.

A Remake Of 'Ghostbusters' Is Coming But With A Twist
I'm not sure how I feel about this turn of events.
I'm not sure how I feel about this turn of events.
I'm a child of the 1980's, although I don't remember them at all. I discovered the good, the bad and the ugly of that decade later in life. One thing I realized was there were several good movies that came out in the '80's and I've come up with a few that I think every kid should see.
Poor Bill Murray, still having to talk about 'Ghostbusters 3.' The dude does a guest spot on David Letterman, and even brings his own hologram along, and still has to answer questions about a possible 'Ghostbusters 3.' At least he responded. What did he have to say?
You remember the home base in the Ghostbusters movies right? It is an actual fire house in New York City. It is on the chopping block to be shut down and it could be a good thing for the upcoming Ghostbusters 3 movie that will be hitting theaters in the next year or so.

MISSOULA — Attorneys representing Markus Kaarma, the Missoula man accused of killing a German exchange student in Kaarma's garage last April, are asking a judge to bar the public from viewing pretrial evidence of Kaarma's "prior bad acts."
And they want the trial moved out of Missoula County due to the "public outcry" and extensive media coverage.
The shooting in Grant Creek has garnered international attention from German officials and German media. But according to one of Kaarma's attorneys, Katie Lacny, the local media tainted Missoula's jury pool by vilifying her client and painting him as a "cold-blooded killer."
In a 208-page document requesting a change of venue, Lacny said Kaarma has been held captive in his home and is receiving death threats.
Kaarma has been "demonized already in the Court of Public Opinion," as media coverage has "aroused sympathies and created a community outcry against" Kaarma, she argued.
"The pretrial publicity has stirred up pervasive and strong passions of anger, hatred, indignation, revulsion and upset in such a manner that jurors chosen from Missoula County could not determine Markus' guilt or innocence in a fair and unbiased manner," Lacny wrote. "The coverage has been inflammatory."
Lacny said prosecutors will argue Kaarma's lead attorney, Paul Ryan, attempted to manipulate the media by "agreeing" to host a live screening of the Germany vs. United States World Cup game in Caras Park several weeks ago. After being chastised by the judge for attempting to sway public opinion, Ryan decided against hosting the viewing.
"This argument is simply a red-herring and should have no bearing on the issue of venue," Lacny wrote.
Exchange student Diren Dede, who died shortly after being shot in Kaarma's garage, was a soccer player – both at Big Sky High School and back home in Germany.
Lacny said there have been 188 news items disseminated by five major news networks, serving a relatively small population.
Of those 188 news items, she said the Missoulian published 69 items related to Dede's death. The Missoulian has published 23 stories about the incident, as well as five letters to the editor, including several defending Kaarma's actions.
Lacny also included pages of reader comments posted on Missoulian.com in her motion for a change of venue.
"The portrayal of Markus has been on the whole negative and inflammatory," she wrote. "The articles and dialogue continue. While there are certainly some commentators who appear to be pro-Markus, the overwhelming majority seek to vilify him."
The unopposed motion to seal evidence was written by another of Kaarma's attorneys, Nate Holloway, and asks the judge to seal any evidence of Kaarma's "prior bad acts" the prosecution may present before his trial.
"The court may seek media cooperation in delaying dissemination of potentially prejudicial information; however, 'media' is not what it once was," Holloway wrote.
He argued that anyone using social media and present in the courtroom could broadcast information via their social media accounts.
Deputy County Attorney Andrew Paul, who is prosecuting the case, does not object to hiding the evidence from the public, but Chief Deputy County Attorney Jennifer Clark said Tuesday she will be filing an objection to the change of venue within the next two weeks
Kaarma faces a felony count of deliberate homicide for shooting 17-year-old Dede on April 27, when the exchange student entered Kaarma's garage searching for alcohol.
His defense counsel, consisting of Lacny, Ryan, Holloway, Brian Smith and Lisa Kauffman, argue that he fired the shots in defense of his family.
But prosecutors claim the incident was premeditated.
In a 19-page affidavit, prosecutors claim Kaarma and his wife, Janelle Pflager, left the garage door open intentionally and left a purse inside the garage in order to bait intruders, who had burglarized their home in the weeks prior to the incident. The couple also set up a video monitor and motion sensors inside and outside of the garage.
When Dede entered the garage shortly after midnight, they were alerted to his presence by the video monitor. Kaarma allegedly grabbed a gun and exited the home through the front door.
According to prosecutors, Kaarma turned and faced the partially opened garage door, and fired four shots into the darkness – two of which struck and killed Dede.
Prosecutors later charged Tristan Staber, 18, and another teenager, who is a minor, with burglarizing Kaarma's home on at least one prior occasion. Both males said they had no connection with Dede.

Monterra Ranch homes are primarily Spanish or Mediterranean in style, however there are other styles expressed inside the gates as well.

Shingle Style
Most homes are in access of 3500 square feet and it is not uncommon to see homes over 8000 square feet built in Monterra. The Monterey Peninsula has a shortage of buildable land, so Monterra offers an opportunity to those who want to build their dream home here on the Monterey Peninsula.
Monterra Homesites
Monterra Ranch still has an abundance of lots and land available to build on, many of which are available at great prices due to the downturn in the economy. Lower priced Monterra land for homesites are typically on smaller lots, located closer to neighboring parcels although there is still plenty of elbow room when compared to living in downtown Monterey. The larger more expensive Monterra Ranch building sites with often have views of the Monterey Bay, have more land and offer the home owner more privacy. Each lot will have a building envelope defined with the remaining land designated as scenic easement. This ensures the look and feel of Monterra Ranch will live on. Check out our webpage dedicated to Monterra Ranch Land for Sale.

I'm looking for descendants of the above couple because I have two alleged photos of Mary Ann Corlett (1838-1894) and they appear to be two different ladies. I suspect one is actually a niece, also by the name of Mary Corlett (1880-1930), but would like confirmation from a direct descendant if possible. I'm descended from the brother of the older Mary, by the way. Notify Administrator about this message?

Multimedia Games' First Quarter Revenue Increases 27% To $44.3 Million; EBITDA Rises 31% To $21.4 Million
Summary of Fiscal 2013 First Quarter Operating Results
Multimedia Games' fiscal 2013 first quarter revenue rose 27.3%, or $9.5 million, to $44.3 million, compared to revenue of $34.8 million in the fiscal 2012 first quarter. Fiscal 2013 first quarter revenue primarily consisted of approximately $30.0 million from gaming operations and approximately $14.0 million from gaming equipment and system sales, compared with $24.9 million in revenue from gaming operations and $9.6 million from gaming equipment and system sales in the year-ago period.
Gaming operations revenue in the fiscal 2013 first quarter grew 20.4% year over year to $30.0 million, reflecting continued growth in both the Company's installed base of participation units and the revenue per day performance of those units. During the quarter, Multimedia Games grew its base of participation games by 518 units, or approximately 4.9%, on a quarterly sequential basis, with growth coming from all major domestic markets served by the Company including Oklahoma, Louisiana, Washington, New York and California. Multimedia Games' domestic installed base increased 1,555 units, or 16.1%, year over year to 11,188 units. Included in the quarter-end participation base were 318 High Rise Games premium participation units deployed outside of Oklahoma, an increase of 120 units, or 60.6%, on a quarterly sequential basis. Revenues from Multimedia Games' New York Lottery business totaled $3.8 million for the quarter, an increase of 17.8% over the prior-year period. More modest growth is expected for the remainder of fiscal 2013 reflecting the one year anniversary of the opening of Resorts World in October 2012.
Gaming equipment and system sales in the fiscal 2013 first quarter increased 46.0% to $14.0 million, from $9.6 million in the prior-year period. During the quarter, the Company recorded revenue of $12.0 million related to the sale of 644 new units and $1.3 million in revenue related to parts and equipment sales, compared to $7.5 million in revenue related to the sale of 408 new proprietary units and $1.5 million related to parts and equipment sales in the year-ago period. Louisiana, which benefited from a sale of 150 new units to a single customer's new facility, Washington and Florida were Multimedia Games' top three markets for product sales, representing approximately 52% of total unit sales. In all, the Company sold units into 17 states in its fiscal 2013 first quarter, with the order for 150 units for a new casino opening in Louisiana representing the Company's largest sales order in several years. There was $0.7 million and $0.6 million of deferred revenues for the sale of player stations and systems in a prior-year period recognized in the fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 first quarter periods, respectively.

Absolutely nothing.my experience was great. John king was awesome.
everything was nice, and very easy. thank you
Nothing to improve; great staff and customer service...Very easy moving experience - equiptment was perfect!
John was awesome. He offered another money-saving option and was extremely helpful.
I always use U-Haul for moving. Staff was very helpful and speedy on providing service. Also, alerted me that original truck reserved did not have pull out ramp for moving appliances. Thanks for that info.
Absolutely nothing!!!!! Excellent customer service and John King is awesome.
Very helpful, went above and beyond to assist me on a big move!
John was a great guy. Got me to laugh and brightened my day.
John King did an wonderful job! My family was very satisfied with the customer service that he showed us. We were running late and he stayed open so we could rent a storage space and supplies. Will recommend this place to others. Thanks John!
I love the staff here they are the best I give them all ten ????????????????????
This is the second time that I've rented a truck from this location and the staff is very helpful and accommodating. I needed a place to park my car while using the truck and to return the truck slightly after closing time and John allowed me to park my car within the storage area and buzzed me in upon returning the truck. A pleasure to deal with during both rental periods.
Nothing. Everything was GREAT
Experience was excellent!
I want to just say I wasn't a HAPPY camper when we arrived to the location; I had been given the run around ALL morning. The staff there were EXCELLENT, even with the issues experienced with their computers in performing their daily functions. I would definitely recommend this location to any loved one/friend.
Employees were wonderful! They deserve a raise.
Awesome accommodations from U-Haul Southfield; outstanding service from staff, namely John, Shannon, and Christopher. Clean truck and easy to use/access storage facility. Truly a moving experience with no toil. I would recommend, and return for future rentals.
John was extremely helpful, kind and professional. I anticipate having to rent a moving truck within the next 6 weeks. Due to the excellent customer service John provided, I will make sure to return to the W. 8 Mile location :)
The online information is misleading. When you get to the store they have a whole different sheet of pricing which is higher than the online. I don't like that the store is ran as though the manager owns it

Your POV
.." you panted as you ran to the base of a tree. You knocked on the bark. "Lovi! Feli!"
A mean looking German shepherd had popped out of a bush and chased the brothers half the way home. You were surprised by how fast they retreated and you couldn't keep up. Well, they were cats. You saw two pairs of eyes and two stray curls within the leaves of the tree. Mentally facepalming, you held open your arms like they were still little cats and you were going to catch them.
"Come down here you two! That dog is gone now!" you called up to them.
"MASTER (Y/N)!!" Feliciano shrieked, jumping out of hiding and into your arms.
You blushed because he tackled you to the ground, his arms wrapped around your back. You stuttered so badly, it was impossible to understand. Feli rubbed his face up against your neck, purring. Lovino jumped out of the tree, landing on all four limbs. He regained human stance, and pulled Feliciano up to stand next him.
Feliciano's tail twitched. "Are you jealo-"
"SHUT UP YOU!" Lovino hollered, ears flicking back and forth. He marched back to the sidewalk and toward your house, which loomed in the distance.
Still blushing, you and Feliciano caught up to Lovino. The three of you walked home. What was with all these busy days? It was already 10 'o clock!
The Cats POVs
"Lovino, mio fratello, why are you so-a upset?" Feli mewed quietly as you slept upstairs. He looked awfully distressed.
"Just forget it Feliciano
We should've never transformed in the first place
Master (Y/N) will never love us." Lovino said miserably. "If she does love one of us it would be you
not us "
Feli's face turned more catlike as he snarled. "I know it nay never-a happen, but we may as well-a try." He said.
"There's no point in trying." Lovino countered. "She either wants us as pet cats or human companions. Not both
Feliciano dipped his head. "You saw how she reacted when we started turning into complete nekos
It was not how I would of liked, Feliciano." Lovino continued.
Feliciano's eyes flicked about. Something was disturbing your sleep, and even in their human forms, they could sense it. Lovino swerved his ears, attempting to catch a hint. No sound. Together, they meowed in harmony, trying to get you to answer. No answer.
"Fratello! Something's wrong! I feel it! I feel it!" Feliciano cried urgently.
Lovino nodded his head, lashing his tail. He jumped to his clawed human feet. "Feliciano, let's go up there!"he replied with the same urgency.
The two rushed up the stair, and attempted to pull open the door. It wouldn't budge. Together, they slammed their full weight into the barrier blocking them from you. It creaked audibly and broke open.
"Master (Y/N), are you alrig-"
Feliciano was cut off by silence itself. You were gone. Long gone

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, May 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: LXRX) announced today that it is progressing into the placebo-controlled portion of its Phase 2 clinical trial of LX4211 in patients with type 1 diabetes, having successfully completed the open-label, pioneer portion of the trial. LX4211 is an investigational, oral, dual inhibitor of sodium glucose transporters 1 and 2 (SGLT1 and SGLT2).
The pioneer phase of the study was designed to gain important initial information regarding the safety of co-administration of LX4211 with insulin in this, the first test of dual inhibition of SGLT1 and SGLT2 in patients with insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes. The successful conclusion of the 28-day pioneer group enables the initiation of the placebo-controlled expansion phase of the study to commence in up to 30 patients with type 1 diabetes. Based on the results observed in the pioneer group, Lexicon has identified the 400 mg once daily dose of LX4211 as the appropriate treatment for the expansion phase of the trial.
"This is a very important first step in the future development of LX4211 in type 1 diabetes," said Dr. Arthur Sands , president and chief executive officer of Lexicon. "The preliminary results are very encouraging and provide a strong rationale for moving into the expansion phase of the trial."
LX4211, a first-in-class dual inhibitor, reduces the amount of glucose that enters the bloodstream from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract by inhibiting SGLT1, the major transporter responsible for glucose absorption, and enhances glucose excretion in the urine by inhibiting SGLT2, the major transporter responsible for glucose reabsorption by the kidney. Lexicon has previously demonstrated that SGLT1 inhibition by LX4211 incre

I posted a picture of these cupcakes in my photos. I got the recipe from an app on my phone. I love it when you make a recipe and they turn out just like the photo! These are super yummy and I've gotten rave reviews! I will say that the recipe is a little different than they way I've made homemade batter before, but they've turned out everytime.Ingredients
- 1 stick of unsalted butter, softened 1 cup of milk (I used buttermilk) 2 tsp. vanilla 2 1/4 cups of flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 2/3 cup sugar 3 large egg whites brought to room temperature (I take them out of the fridge and put them in warm water for a few minutes) 1 pkg. Oreo Cookies Icing: 5 Tblsp. flour 1 cup milk 1 tsp. vanilla 1 cup (2 sticks) butter softened 1 cup sugar (regular, not powdered)
Preheat over to 350. Insert cupcake liners in a regular muffin pan. Twist apart 24 oreos. Place the wafer with filling on it, filling side up in the bottom of each liner. Take the remaining wafers and cut them in half with a sharp knife, these will be used for garnishing later. If some break, don't worry, you can crush them with the remaining oreos. Crush remaining oreos and set aside. In a large bowl, cream the butter until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the mild and vanilla and mix to combine. In a separate bowl, mix together the flowr, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to butter mixture. Mix until integrated. Stir in sugar. With and exectric mixer on low speed, beat for 30 seconds. Turn the mixer up to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes. Add the egg whites. Beat for 2 more minutes. Stir in crushed oreos. I use an ice cream scoop to fill the liners and it usually comes out to a perfect 24 cupcakes. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. For the icing, In a small saucepan, whisk the flour into milk and heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. It took about 5 minutes on high. Be careful not to burn it. Remove form heat and let it cool completely. If you are unpatient like I am, you can take the pan and place it over an ice bath. It will cool in 10 minutes or so. You might want to stir it a few times. This mixture must be completely cooled in order to work. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy approx. 3-5 minutes. Then add the cooled milk/flour mixture, and vanilla. Beat until it all combines and resembles whipped cream. Make sure to scrape down sides ocassionally. This tastes very light considering it has 2 sticks of butter. It really resembles whipped cream. Pipe the icing on each cupcake, place oreo half in icing at an angle, you may also dust some real fine oreo crumbs over the top. Enjoy :o)
