I have a 9" cast iron fry pan that would be even more useful if it had a glass lid. Lodge offers glass lids for its larger fry pans, and on the Internet I have found a few lids made by different manufacturers. I'm not sure which would really fit, though. Nine inches isn't always nine inches, depending on where the lip of the lid is. Have any of you found a lid that works with the 9" Lodge pan? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Lodge makes a a cover for that size pan. I bought glass lids years ago, one large, one not so large, with glass knob, and they fit just fine on my very old cast iron frying pans. I have a 10" frying pan and the smaller one fits just fine. The larger one chipped and I don't use it much. I don't like glass lids for that reason. |

As with any exciting new flagship device, it was only a matter of time before Samsung's recently-unveiled Galaxy S4 got the system dump treatment. Sharing the goodies this time (having already leaked S Voice, wallpapers, and ringtones) is SamMobile.com, who claims to have an "insider" that provided the leaked dump. According to SamMobile, the system dump is based on the S4's latest test firmware, affectionately called I9500XXUAMCH, built just a few days ago on March 23rd and based on Android 4.2.2 JDQ39.
Earlier this week, the OTA update to Android 2.3.4 finally began rolling out to HTC Sensations around Europe. Our unit received the update yesterday, and quite by accident we discovered that - besides being able to make voice/video calls in GTalk - we also had a new ability to take screenshots untethered from a computer.
Those of you familiar with the standard method of taking screenshots through the Android SDK know how convoluted the process can be: hunting for drivers, enabling debugging, living down those notification-bar icons ...

I moved into a three story home with cable outlets on all three floors. However the cable guy can't get power connection from the point of origin (cellar) to the second floor.The cable is there,second floor and celler, just no connection / power is available Of course the second floor is where we do most of our living. Any suggestions other than open the walls? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Why do you need power to come up from the cellar? Are there no receptacles in the room, or am I missing something here? |
I don't think he's actually talking about electricity when he says power. I assume he means that there is a cable outlet on the second floor and a cable stub in the basement. He assumes they match up but they don't. Or there is a break in the line somewhere. The only way to run a new cable is to either |
"(2) run it right through the wall in the basement to the outside and up the side of the house and punch back through the wall into the interior." The cheap and rather hideous way to do it. |

Hi, Before getting too wild I would suggest you take the cable covers off and see if every thing is hooked up the way you want it. Good Luck Woodbutcher |
The cheap and rather hideous way to do it. Totally agree, but I thought I'd throw it out there as an option. |
yep. 1st thing is to make sure that there is really a cable attached to that cable outlet. If there is, then check continuity. If you don't have either, it's time to "go fishing". |
- Posted by dreamgarden (My Page) on Sun, Apr 14, 13 at 11:12
When we purchased our house we didn't want to use the current cable provider (A), so we went with the newer company (B). Company B said they couldn't use the older cables because (by law) they belonged to Company A. These older lines would still be usable if we ever wanted to switch to the other provider. Company B ran a new line from the street to the house. Put in new box and drilled a hole through the outside wall into our living room to place the cable. I think most folks would prefer to avoid using the 'cheap and rather hideous way' of doing it. Brickeye, would you mind telling us what alternatives the cable companies in your area offer? |

'Piracy websites attract billions of visits'
How people consume music has been changing for decades
Continue reading the main story
Related Stories
A study by anti-fraud firm MarkMonitor has offered a snapshot into the changing nature of online piracy.
It monitored illegal traffic levels on 43 file-sharing sites and found that they generated more than 53 billion visits per year.
The top three - RapidShare.com, Megavideo.com and Megaupload.com - generated more than 21 billion visits.
Such sites are becoming as popular as peer-to-peer methods of accessing illegal content.
The study only used a small sample of sites
suggesting that the problem could be in fact much bigger.
"The numbers are staggering," said Charlie Abrahams, vice president of MarkMonitor.
The study was put together following requests from the US Chamber of Commerce to identify trends and rogue sites.
Very easy
Mark Mulligan, an analyst at research firm Forrester, points out that the numbers of visits does not necessarily equate to the number of downloads of illegal material.
But it does show that commercial file-sharing sites, alongside other non-network based methods, are becoming as popular a way of sharing pirated music and films as peer-to-peer technologies.
"These upload sites index their files. It is very easy and convenient," he added.
"Upload sites, alongside instant messaging and blogs, are now on a par with peer-to-peer sites when it comes to piracy," he said.
What is more it is "proving difficult for content owners to do much about them", he said.
Users maintain that the sites are also used for legal file-sharing and that the number of visits do not give any indication of the amount of illegal content hosted on the sites.
No filters
One of the sites highlighted by the study, RapidShare, has come under scrutiny from the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) which blames the Swiss-based file-hosting firm for carrying huge amounts of pirated content.
It and other content owners want the firm to install filters to police the illegal content changing hands via its site.
In Germany this week, that aim was struck a blow when the Higher Regional Court of Dusseldorf ruled that Rapidshare does not have to install such filters.
It found that the firm was taking "reasonable measures" to fight piracy.
The attempts to block the content being transacted over such sites brings back memories of the early attempts to shut down Napster, said Mr Mulligan.
"It is complete deja vu and it took a very long time to close that down," he said.
With legislation on dealing with peer-to-peer illegal file-sharing already looking out of date, it could be time to find other ways to crack the nut, he thinks.
"Illegal file-sharing is becoming incredibly complex and it is becoming over-burdensome to try and police it," he said.

This was the 2nd time in two weeks that this airline lost our luggage. The first time, it took two days to find it. This time it was 1 day. The frustration is that the baggage claim ticket means nothing as the airline cannot tell you where your luggage is and when it might arrive. Isn't everything scanned and automated these days?? Bad enough if this was for vacation but both times was for business and really created a hardship. Thinking worth paying the extra $ when necessary for a more reliable airline.

I have a three year old Pachira tree. (Money tree.) Up until recently he's been doing perfectly. I can't remember him loosing any leaves, or even drooping. When I watered him today I noticed that the pot he was growing in was too small. I never moved him from the plastic one he came in.(Which seemed to be an okay size. I know, I know. That was a mistake on my part.) I felt that the roots were pressing up against the sides, and HARD. The shape was more of an oval, and I had to cut the pot to get my poor plant out. I placed him in a pot that is probably too big, but it is the best I can do for now. Should I place him a smaller one, or is a large pot okay? I've heard that they like small pots, but that a larger pot won't have any effect. So, my problem here is that he has some discoloration on his stem. A little on the others, but mostly on the one seen in the picture. He also has a bit of yellow in two leaves, and a teeny bit on a couple more, but I don't think it's a big deal since they have been that was for a while now, and haven't gotten worse. When I re-potted him the roots looked fine. Firm, not soggy, or browning. In fact, I think they looked great! The stem is firm everywhere, so it doesn't seem to be rotting. (I hope!) That's why I'm confused as to why my plant seems to be having a little trouble. I keep him in indirect sunlight and in partial shade, close to my windowsill. It doesn't get to hot or dry, so I think the climate is okay. I water him when the top of the soil gets dry to the touch/sight and if there is little or practically no moisture in the center. Am I over watering or underwatering, and why is the stem like this? Was it the small pot? Thank you so much in advance! (: |
Follow-Up Postings:
Think you've got the wrong photo. Does not look like a pachira. Sounds like you're doing everything right though and hopefully it's just under stress from repotting. |
- Posted by plantomaniac08 8 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 27, 13 at 18:34
That looks like a ZZ Plant to me. If that's what it is, some of their "stems" do have "stripes" on them; perhaps that's what you're seeing. Nothing to be concerned about (if your plant is a ZZ Plant). I have two "stems" on my ZZ Plant whose leaves yellow edges, but whatever the yellow is, it hasn't spread (the leaves yellowed just a little bit and have since stopped). One of the stems has had yellow on the leaves for almost a year now! Don't be sad if one stem yellows completely and dies, the leaves will usually yellow completely and fall off before the stem dies; nothing lives forever (it's not unusual for a ZZ Plant to lose a stem every once in a blue moon). Now if you notice multiple stems turning yellow, that would be cause for concern. Planto |

Hmm. I got it at a chain grocery store that sells plants. All of them were labeled as Money Trees. I was wondering why they didn't look much like them! Thank you. (: Edit: Do I need to remove any of the yellow leaves/plants/stems? |
- Posted by lilce51286 7a Baltimore md (My Page) on Sat, Jul 27, 13 at 21:00
Can you take a pic of the whole plant? And this is a what my money tree looks like I grew these from cutting off pieces of stem w/leaves attached and keep it in a small pot. The big pots seem to hold to much water and I started keeping mine on the dry side: Gritty mix which these plants love a lot |
- Posted by lilce51286 none (My Page) on Sat, Jul 27, 13 at 21:06
My ZZ plant which when I bought it from lowes & repotted it same day couple days later it yellowed badly but then it stopped. And this pic was some time after I bought it, it's a lot TALLER now, so transplant shock can take up to a 2wks, 1 month or more in some cases for plant to adjust. I keep my house AC day 75 and night 73 summer here in Maryland and we have dry air. But this plan loves it dry as I water or 1-2x a month an the waterfall is supplemental light as its in our foyer where front door window sun comes in as well. Hope these pics help identify your plant :) |
- Posted by VanillaTea (My Page) on Sat, Jul 27, 13 at 22:52
Yeah, it's definitely a ZZ. And it started to yellow prior to me repotting it. I think I'll try watering it less and see how it goes. The yellowing just worries me! (The lighting makes it seem much more yellow than it is. I just had a look at him and he looks much better. Not sure what happened. I did give the leaves a quick mist.) |

Masoli has signed
Jeremiah Masoli has completed his financial-aid agreement with Oregon and said he intends to move to Eugene in June to compete for the starting job with the Ducks for the fall.
"I'm very excited," Masoli said in a phone interview. "I'm kind of relieved this whole process is over now. I can't wait to get with the coaches and start learning the offense."
Masoli has four years to play three at Oregon, and said he doesn't plan to redshirt.
"Anything's possible," he said. "But I definitely want to compete for the job starting in June, and we'll see what happens in fall camp."

I'm back from the meeting of the local Food pantry.
I'd like to remind people that once again (after the influx of food at the holiday season)that many , many pantries are very short on food. Please take the time to donate.
Our pantry can always use fresh fruits and veggies,frozen protein items,canned meats. Your pantry may be different , but we are usually okay with peanut butter,canned greenbeans, peas, and corn,all pasta (these items are supplied thru the govt). Some pantries carry personal care items- toilet paper, dish soap, clothing detergent,women's hygene items, body soap, deodorant. Theses items are always low. Take the time! It will make you feel good! |

Thanks for the reminder, kartwheel. Aside from money donations to the local Food Bank and Salvation Army, I also deliver excess produce from the farm. The greens and more perishable stuff goes to the rescue mission or Transition House. It is sad to see empty walk-in coolers, but the focus of the Food Bank is on less perishable foodstuffs. |
Thanks! Just another reminder added to Marshallz's comment, Food Pantries take checks! My experience is that the distribution centers only take non-perishables, but the locals will take fresh. Rules seem to vary by area! and Marshallz, thanks for working with the pantry! |
If anyone has kids in school, here's something our kids do: Once a month all the students bring a donation for our local food bank to school - the food bank provides bins and sometimes the kids like to "compete" to see which class brings the most. Our kids really enjoy shopping for the food, thinking which food would be healthy and good for another family to enjoy, and being reminded of how much we have and how much we can share. |

Another "painless" donation: about four times a year when I go to the supermarket to stock up on "stuff", I also buy a bag or two for the food drives. Smart shopping can amass a lot of basic food for relatively little money. |

Another place that could use some donations, but are a little harder to give to are the shelters for abused women. Often these women can take nothing but their children and the clothes on their backs. I don't want to distract from the food banks but these are deserving organizations as well. Some of the things they can use: good clothing in various sizes including clothes they can wear to job interviews, shoes or gift certificates to shoe stores, purses or clutches, underwear and night clothes. If you wouldn't wear it, don't send it. Childrens clothing, shoes and toys, diapers. Shampoos, hair coloring, disposable razors and other personal articles, soap, deodorant, sanitary pads or tampons, cosmetics, hair brushes and combs. Remember these ladies and their children likely have nothing! Be as generous as you can. These homes are often difficult to contact. They go through "doorkeepers" to protect the clients. Contact your county social service to get contact numbers. It is important to call ahead to find out just what is needed. A case of sanitary pads is useless if what is needed is a case of diapers and winter coats aren't needed in the summer. Most of these homes cannot store a lot of items until they are needed. Thank you, Sleepless |
sleepless , you're not taking anything from the food banks. Most food banks take no clothing, no toys , no books. More power to you. At the short shift I worked today, we got a donation of Thanks to everyone for their contributions and Ideas. |

I have been playing with an idea about person-to-person charity. Yes, I know this is a touchy subject. There would have to be an intermediary (church or other "agency") and perhaps a high degree of anonymity on both ends. The idea is to give a hand up, not just hand-me-down, to facilitate independence. Sleepless we have very active quasi-private family services group, a rape-crisis center, a Transition House much as you describe, and "stores" stocked with clothing and other items where qualified women and families can "shop" for needed clothing and other items for free or for little money. I've done volunteer work as well as donated money and produce to all of these over the years. The need never eases. |

"Freecycle" |
Freecycle, although a good thing, is not charity. Your stuff goes to who ever has a computer, the time to look at the site, a phone, and a vehicle to pick it up. |

The San Leandro Housing Element was developed to meet state planning requirements for accommodating future housing needs. The City of San Leandro's first Housing Element was adopted in 2003 and is part of the City's General Plan, which is the broader document that guides decisions about land use, transportation, natural resources, community design, public services and environmental hazards in San Leandro. The overall purpose of the Housing Element is to ensure that safe, decent, affordable shelter is provided for all San Leandro residents. The city began updating its Housing Element in 2009. The State Department of Housing and Community Development certified the updated Housing Element on February 11, 2011.
The Housing Element provides direction on the production of new market-rate and affordable homes, and guides the city's housing programs and activities. It includes policies and actions related to new construction and rehabilitation, affordable housing development, first-time homebuyer programs, housing for seniors and others with special needs and fair housing practices in San Leandro.
The Housing Element is the only part of the General Plan that must be formally certified by the State of California. San Leandro relies on a certified Housing Element to help secure funding for many of its housing-related programs.
The State requires cities to update their Housing Elements every five to seven years. Following is the most recent certified housing element;
The City is currently undergoing a public planning process to update its General Plan, including the Housing Element Update. Under State law, the City must submit a completed Housing Element Update to the State by January 31, 2015. For more information about the current planning process, please go to the General Plan Update website at www.sanleandro2035.org. The website provides information including background on the General Plan, upcoming public meetings for citizens to take part in, and an innovative online feature called Virtual City Hall for citizens to more conveniently provide feedback to the City about important growth, planning and land use issues for the future.

Hi! We decided to go with the Tech Unilume 3000 under cabinet lights. Any feedback on those beyond what was in the ULC LED continuation thread? We will have Superwhite cabinets and still haven't picked out the countertops. I've attached a copy of our layout (sorry it is so light). We will have a dozen or so recessed lights and likely 3 pendants lights so I am wondering if we even need UCL. If it is just for task lighting (vs. mood lighting), do I just need it in the inner L shaped portion to the right of the rangetop and to the left of the sink? I don't really see us using the left of the range top for much and DH was saying maybe we skip the cabinet on the end toward to the eat in kitchen. We were planning to do most prep/clean up either on the island (which will be black granite and low maintenance) or in the section that is the L-shaped corner Does the corner one get one light bar that is angled vs buying two to form an L? Keep in mind we also want to put a fold down TV in that corner on the wall which has the sink Is it more typical to put it everywhere? I was thinking of one switch for the L shape, under the cabinet. And, one light under the section between the fridge and the ovens. That one would have its own light and switch. I"m talking with the electrician tomorrow THANK YOU! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here are the elevations. We switched a few thing around since I got this pdf but fore the most part it is the same. Thanks |

i'm not sure how to rate...
Verified Purchase
i'm not sure how to rate this pen yet. i used the pentel pocket brush for years,
it got a TON of use and i really put it through its paces. eventually, the tip
lost it point and i decided to move on instead of replacing it. my biggest
complaint about the pentel was the ink. i eventually had to buy specific paper
to keep the ink from feathering.
moving on to the kuretaka was a big step because i'm used to more disposable materials. i figured i'd take the plunge if it was durable and from what i could gather everyone seems to love it. immediately, i liked the ink more. the sable hair tip is even more like using a real brush (which i still use) than the pentel. here's my complaint though. only had the pen for a few months and the tip is already garbage. it no longer gives the thin lines i like, like old blown-out brushes. i don't know. pretty disappointed. not too thrilled about forking out another $30 + to get a new tip when i've only had a few months, especially since the pen is nearly $70. did i get a defective brush tip? 5 people found this helpful

The look of the kitchen is changing — already granite countertops and dark wood cabinets are starting to look a little late 90s. If you're thinking of renovating or building a house (or just like looking!), here are five of the top trends for modern kitchens.
A Few Other Looks: 1. Elegant wood shelving, seen in a kitchen from The Marion House Book. 2. Open shelving makes this small kitchen from Lonny seem more spacious (the subdued color palette of the dishes definitely helps). 3. For your bohemian kitchen, crates and baskets can take the place of upper cabinets. I love the contrast of the super-sleek white lower cabinets (complete with white faucet!) and the rustic look of the crates. Katarina Grundstromer viaThe Brown Workshop and The Kitchn. 4. A great example of open shelving mixed with traditional upper cabinets, fromStadshem via Superb.li. 5. At the far end of the spectrum is this kitchen from House to Home with hardly any upper storage at all. Some people are choosing to take this one step further and go with no upper cabinets at all — a clean look, but one that must involve a lot of squatting down and scrounging around.
A Few Other Looks: 1. White and green, from Better Homes and Gardens. 2. Black and white cabinets give this traditional kitchen from Canadian House & Home a little something extra. 3. Contrasting uppers in wood from Cissy and Robert's kitchen (click to see full tour). 4. Bright white upper cabinets in this kitchen from Est blend into the wall, making the kitchen seem more spacious. 5. White uppers and wood lower cabinets in a contrasting kitchen from Better Homes and Gardens.

Keeping Focused While Golfing is a Challenge
It's been too long ago (1992) for me to remember the name of the golf club, and I did not keep the score card as I usually do.
That's unfortunate because Allan reminded me that it was one of my best games ever.
The courses on the Grand Bahama Island are magnificent. It's difficult to concentrate and to focus on the game because of the sheer beauty of this beautiful island.
Our cart broke down on the seventh hole, and another golfer drove back to the club house to inform the staff. Immediately, two staff members brought us a cart, and the rental charge was dropped.
The course was immaculate, well groomed and with "lightening fast" greens. The sand in the traps were as white and fluffy as the marvelous sand on the beach.
All-in-all, it was a pleasure and a challenge to golf here.
Equipment: f you did not bring equipment (which we did not), then you have to rent your equipment. I remember that it was an expensive game of golf when we added up rental and golf fees. Our rental equipment included "pared down" set of golf clubs, golf bag, and golf cart. We purchased glove, golf balls, and tees.
You need to wear proper attire: Golf shirt with collar, golf shorts or skirt or slacks, hat, and sunglasses. Be sure to wear sun screen protection.- Golf
Environmentally Safe and Fun
Grand Bahama offers a host of activities for the environmentally sensitive, and kayaking is one of them. While staying at the Fortuna Beach Resort, we tried our luck at kayaking.
It turned out to be a great adventure. First of all, the non-motorized activities are free at the resort, and the staff takes the time to teach novices the proper fundamentals of the activity. After a few attempts, I got "the hang of it", and was able to keep up with Allan.
What makes Kayaking so much fun is the sheer joy of controlling your own route, speed, and time. Allan and I were like children as we raced, dodged, and laughed at our own inadequacies. In addition, kayaking is an easy way to really "see" the environment without destroying it. The water was so clear that we could enjoy the fish and other sea creatures pretty close up.
Don't be fooled--kayaking is not as easy as it looks. It takes strength and endurance, and if you maneuver incorrectly, your back really suffers the next day.
I strongly advise you to try this eco-adventure.
Equipment: At Club Fortuna, all the equipment was provided free of charge. You need a kayack, life vest, hat, sunglasses, and tennis shoes.
I might add, you need to wear plenty of sun screen for your own protection from the intense sunrays in the Grand Bahamas.- Kayaking
- Beaches
Premier Destination for Sportfishing
In the 1970's, Allan and I went sportfishing. We hired the Mayor of the West End whose name is Bonefish Foley. It was simply a rowboat with a motor.
Allan and I made a bet of who would catch the most fish, the first fish, and the biggest fish. I won in all three categories.
I now realize that Bonefish maneuvered the boat in such a way that I would win. As you can see, this is back in the days when I looked good in a two piece bathing suit, and the largest fish that I caught took about half an hour to reel in. I had the pole anchored in my naval so I received a huge bruise there.
In the Grand Bahama waters, you can catch marlin, sailfish, blue and yellowfin tuna, bonefish, barracuda, and red snapper
We caught lots of red snapper and a few barracuda. We took enough red snapper back to the condo to prepare a hearty dinner. The rest of the fish, including the barracuda, we gave to our guide, Bonefish Foley. He had about eight or nine children to feed.
The best time to go fishing is between April and September; however, winter is a good time also.
Equipment: You need a boat, a good guide, a pole, and bait. You don't have to have much if you hire a good guide; he/she will supply all that you need.- Fishing
Nothing Quite as Exhilarating as Beach Volleyball
I've always loved this photograph of my daughter Jill when we were spending Christmas Vacation on the Grand Bahama Island at Club Fortuna Resort.
Jill and some of the others in the photograph were just getting ready to play a rousing game of beach volleyball. Because I've been watching the Olympics in Athens and 2-person volleyball, I remembered this photo.
The resort offered a multitude of activities for the beach, and probably the most popular activity for most of the teens and twenty somethings was BEACH VOLLEYBALL.
It was just as much fun to watch as to play. Amazingly, the girls were just as good as the guys (And I'm talking about athletic guys!) If you have never played the game, you might not realize that to play on sand is much more difficult because of the "pull" you feel on your legs.
Needless to say, in the ten days that we were there, we played and watched lots of Beach Volleyball.
Equipment: You need a volleyball net, a volleyball, determined boundaries, and players. It's also a good idea to have a referee.
Barefoot is the way to play with comfortable, loose-fitting clothing or bathing suits. Most people wear a hat or sunglasses for eye protection. Another good idea is to wear sun-protection lotion because the sun rays are quite powerful in the Bahamas.- Adventure Travel

What's Keeping You On Windows?
Re:Work and fun (1880 comments)
Incidentally, this is why Windows is the best platform for photo editing: once you step out of the undemanding use, and need GPGPU and 64-bit support, you use the platform that had both of them first: "PC" as most artists would call it. 3rd party plug in library is bigger too. Try and explain that to most photographers or artists and you will first get an reflex snort, then silence, then "but I like Mac" with a laugh(photogs) or a whine (artists). Idiots.

I don't know if there's a better term for what I want, not necessarily one of those stupid credit card-shaped knives. I need something that's thin enough to stash unnoticeabley in my wallet or back pocket that can serve as a back-up knife or a knife that I can pack on me in places that would freak out at my fatass Benchmade. It also needs to be able to be open exactly like you would a normal knife, just a flick of the hand and be done with it. Only thing that I can think of would be a SOG Access Card , but IDK if I trust SOG ever since the tip snapped off of my Trident after like.....a month.

In my opinion SOG makes a good product for the most part. Lot of tipless tridents out there but something tells me its often user error of some sort that results in that. What were you doing to break the tip? What's the purpose of the credit card knife? Concealed carry without drawing attention? Can't carry a knife at work? Want to keep the wife from running off with your visa and going shoe crazy?
Victorinox makes a multi-purpose CC thingie...
They sell one on Amazon. Free freight from Tim buck too. Couple bucks. I forward them as gifts.
Back up knife, in you wallet? Let me get this straight, you are in a deadly altercation, you have lost your first line of defense so you are going to your billfold to retrieve your back-up weapon. Hmmmm.... and what is your assailant doing in the meanwhile? Are you going to call time out?
"It is better to be too skeptical then too credulous" Carl Sagan
No offense and none taken (̿▀̿ ̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿)̄
Are you wanting a back up to use as a tool, or a weapon? I can't recommend a credit card knife for either. If you just want something to cut with, I used to carry a single edged razor blade in my wallet. The danger of this, or anything carried in your wallet, is carrying it through a metal detector at the airport or anyplace that it might be prohibited. If you want an unnoticed weapon, consider a neck knife.
I don't know about credit cards knives at all but maybe this is something that will help form an idea of what you would want. Do a little search for custom credit card knives. http://www.bladehq.com/cat--All-Items--1--1--search=microtech+credit .http://www.neptuneknives.com/warren-thomas-credit-card-knife-0.html .http://www.arizonacustomknives.com/PryBaby-Credit-Card-Knife-by-Peter-Atwood.aspx .http://www.crawfordknives.com/CCK.htm .http://steeladdictionknives.com/custom-knife-makers/warren-thomas-knives/warren-thomas-gen-3-neck-knife.html

Sophomore Dorming Suggestions? (self.OSU)
submitted 1 year ago by [deleted]
I'm gonna be a sophomore (male) dorming on campus, in the honors program, and was wondering if anyone could suggest a dorm for me. I currently live on South Campus in a non-honors hall, but next year I'd want to live on north since I'm in the Fisher College. Ideally, I'd like to have my own bedroom, AC, and a bathroom in the suite or room. Since I'm in honors, I can live in honors buildings, and I'm really looking for something as close to an apartment as I can get. Any ideas?
[–]Qaxt 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It's made out to be an awesome dorm, but living there was absolutely disgustingly awful. Filled with cockroaches, lots of things needed fixed (e.g. you could see into our bathroom when the door was closed; my roommate had to fix the hinge on a cupboard when we moved in; we had to assemble the bunk beds ourselves because they weren't assembled correctly, and it was super dangerous; having a stove was cool, but unfortunately it was gas and if you had it on low it would blow out... I could go on forever. Oh, and it has no AC and is even boiling hot in the winter.)
Jones is nice from what I hear, but people there aren't too friendly (they're not unfriendly, but it's a very withdrawn sort of place... you might even be into that!).
I lived in Taylor for two years, and it was very nice. But it's not much like an apartment. However, the rooms are spacious, you have your own bathroom, etc.
So, my vote is also for Taylor (double) or Jones (single).
[–]NightTheBearHistory, Art History 2015 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Jones does single person rooms, and Taylor does two person rooms with a bedroom, living area, and bathroom. I can't really vouch for how good they are, but my friends say they're both decent to very good.
[–]jaynellll 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Taylor Tower or Jones would be your best options.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
If you're up for a little walk, I used to live in Morrill Tower in a single as a sophomore, I worked at Fisher every day and it was a ten minute walk at worst. You've got to be open to having lots of roommates though and a community feel, Morrill and Lincoln aren't like any other dorm I have lived in. Very open, sort of like a family that both loves you and annoys the hell out of you.
[–]hydroboration 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I lived in Jones my sophomore year. It's incredibly depressing. Even as an introvert, I felt myself wanting more social interaction. If Siebert is open, it may be your best option since you are also in honors. I would also look into Archer. I'm not quite sure why so many people are recommending Taylor, I'm not a huge fan of it.

Popular Science Recognizes GE's Brilliant Wind Turbine With 2013 'Best Of What's New' Honor
Popular Science magazine has recognized GE's (NYSE:GE) 2.5-120 brilliant wind turbine with its 2013 " Best of What's New" award in the "Green" category. Announced in January, the 2.5-120 is GE's first brilliant turbine, which harnesses the power of the Industrial Internet to analyze tens of thousands of data points every second, providing short-term predictable power and communicating seamlessly with neighboring turbines, service technicians and operators.
"For more than a quarter century, Popular Science has devoted its December issue to the year's most remarkable innovations," said Cliff Ransom, executive editor, Popular Science. "The 'Best of What's New' Awards is our magazine's top honor, and the 100 awardees are selected from a pool of thousands. Each winner is handpicked and revolutionary in its own way. Whether they're poised to change the world or simply your living room, the 'Best of What's New' awardees challenge us to the see the future in a new light."
Popular Science featured GE's integrated wind energy storage technology in part four of its series on America's Road to Energy Independence.
The 2.5-120 is the first wind turbine to incorporate short-term energy storage as part of the complete turbine package. Integrating the battery into the wind turbine allows wind farm operators to reap the benefits of energy storage without the high costs of farm-level battery storage installation. This revolutionary configuration integrates GE's advanced Durathon Battery technology with three software applications. The resulting intelligent system enables power producers and the wind turbines themselves to make data-informed decisions and provide short-term predictable power.
"We are thrilled with this recognition from Popular Science," said Keith Longtin, general manager of GE's renewable energy business. "Combining energy storage and advanced software at the turbine level helps tackle wind's most inherent challenge: its variability. With short-term energy storage and GE's advanced forecasting algorithms we can help improve wind power's predictability efficiently and more cost-effectively." GE engineers created three battery-enabled software applications that integrate seamlessly with the wind turbine to provide enhanced wind power availability. Wind developers and operators can select the application or combination of applications that best suits individual site needs.- Ramp Control: Today, when wind speed increases quickly, the grid cannot always absorb the extra wind power produced. GE's Ramp Control App allows the brilliant turbine to capture "wasted" wind power and store it in the battery, meaning operators can capture revenue previously left on the table.
- Predictable Power: Power producers must be able to provide consistent and predictable power to the grid, but the variability of wind can make smooth grid integration challenging. The Predictable Power App allows the brilliant turbine to smooth out the short-term peaks and valleys in wind power and make it predictable over periods of 15-60 minutes.
- Frequency Regulation: Power demand changes throughout the day and grid operators must keep up with its constant fluctuation. Grid operators look to power producers to respond rapidly to keep the grid balanced. The Frequency Regulation App allows wind farms to store energy in the battery and respond to load changes with precision.
