Sea salt aerosol may be an important sink for reactive gaseous mercury (RGM) in the marine boundary layer, reducing ambient RGM concentrations and transferring the mercury (Hg) to the oceans and coastal ecosystems. The goal of this study was to determine the affinity of gaseous mercury for sea salt aerosol (SSA) by conducting adsorption experiments with sea salt-coated sampling denuders. In the first set of experiments, ambient outdoor air was passed through denuders coated with either KCl, as in the widely accepted method to sample RGM, or with NaCl, a primary component of sea salt aerosols. On the one sampling day in which RGM was above the MDL, the NaCl coated denuders removed Hg from the ambient air, equivalent to 87% of the RGM in the air (as determined by KCl denuders). For the second set of experiments HgCl2 generated in the laboratory was passed through denuders coated with KCl and either NaCl or sea salt. The NaCl denuders collected an average of 99 ± 16% of the mercury that the KCl denuders collected. Newly coated sea salt denuders collected 88 ± 17% of the amount of mercury that the KCl denuders collected, but interestingly the sea salt denuders capacity decreased with repeated use. These experiments demonstrate that HgCl2, a major component of RGM has a strong affinity for NaCl and sea salt and is therefore likely to be scavenged by SSA. This study adds to the growing evidence that RGM is scavenged by sea salt aerosols and therefore more quickly deposited to the ocean and coastal environment.

Not only are chickens great pets but there are plenty of benefits to keeping chooks in your backyard:
It's important to note local councils have different regulations about keeping chickens in your backyard.
Under State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, there is a limit of no more than 10 chickens as long as they are maintained in accordance with the guidelines of that policy.

Over the weekend we realized it had been too long since we had done our rotation. So, we decided it was a great time to get in one rotation before we had to sort and tend to the gifts from the holidays.
Here's how it looked.
This is the "before" shelf where most of the toys are kept.
When you dump out all of the toys from the shelf, this is what you get (marked with a T for thinking, M for moving, or P for pretending toy):
- Banana basket from Halloween costume – P
- Tutu – P
- Busy box – T
- Musical instruments – M
- Random stuff accumulated from bathtub or toys not in rotation – P
- Finger puppets – P
- Stacking Cups – T
- Ball – M
- Figurines – P
- School Bus – M & P
- Feeding, Sleeping, & Toothbrushing Tools – P
- Dolls & stuffed animals (Yes. Too many pretending. There's seven!) – P
Plus, too many books. Fifteen!
In addition to the toy & book shelf we had out her dollhouse (yet another pretending toy)…
her ride-on/push toys (finally, some more moving toys!)…
…and we don't leave this out and accessible all of the time, but we do have a coloring, drawing, bubbles, sticker, playdough basket that we pull out most days, which is considered a thinking toy.
So, in total we had 15 toys or sets of toys (not counting the art basket), with way too many pretending toys, and too many books.
NOW…for the "after" or the NEW ROTATION. Here's what we did.
For thinking toys, we put out large nesting and stacking blocks, a puzzle, and small stacking blocks.
For moving toys, we put out her bumble bee pull-toy, rocking horse and a large ball.
For pretending toys, we left out her dollhouse, and put out a purse and phone set, and pared down baby feeding and pretending set.
We put away the old books and picked just 8 new ones.
Then put it away all pretty.
And she LOVED it the next morning.
If you like reading about rotating toys, make sure you read Toy Rotation, The Real Deal for a super speed rotation.

'Sweet'. That would be my one-word review of Ghost Ship's sophomore release The Good King. 'Stoked' – would fit as my initial reaction to band that had passed completely under my radar until about 3 weeks ago. 'Seriously?' I can hear you all say. 'Yes!' and here's why…
For the past two and half years, a team of seven have been leading the new and privileged congregation of Mars Hill in downtown Seattle in worship. They call themselves 'Ghost Ship', a name rooted in the idea that we are vessels of the third member of the Trinity, the Holy Ghost; a moniker inspired by the fact that we move and are motivated by His power. Cam Huxford and his colleagues have broken the mould, pushing the boundaries of praise and worship.
The album opens with the exquisite "Mediator", a tantalising taste of the glories ahead. There is an exceptional attention to detail – a favourite moment of mine is the juxtaposition of the unhurried closing cry in "Son of David", calling on Jesus to save us, and the rousing proclamation of Jesus's majesty that begins the following track, "The Truth".
The Good King exhibits an incredible quirkiness that quickly draws you in. No two tracks are the same; each is an individually crafted masterpiece. In a genre where music-by-numbers often goes unchallenged and tired formulas are frequently rehashed, it is refreshing to hear an eclectic mix of spectaculars guitar riffs, cathedral organ notes and tight rhythms wonderfully brought together for an optimal worship session.
Integral to the beauty of the work is its Biblical foundation. "Jude Doxology" is wonderful song of praise to the Holy Trinity, whilst "Orion" reminds us that our salvation comes only through Christ's death and resurrection. The song-writing is scripture-inspired, instead of offering up empty platitudes; it demonstrates what true worship can be. "The Gospel" (for want of a better cliché) does what it says of the tin, clearly explains the gospel truth- one God, one mediator, one way to salvation.
Another testament to the incredible talent of the septet are the covers included on "The Good King". While much of the album may not be immediately accessible to most churches for morning worship, the covers would make fantastic additions to all songbooks. They are fantastic examples of how to rejuvenate old favourites. "Holy, Holy, Holy" is simply remodelled, and devastatingly catchy – the glorious choral finale resplendent organ chords is stunning. The closing "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" is another personal favourite, the ageless hymn transposed beautifully for a modern audience.
The Good King is a stellar album. I cannot emphasize it enough. Musically engaging, theologically whole and endlessly interesting, I haven't heard any better albums for a long time. Do yourself a favour and get a copy – now!

Tried this guide 3 times tonight...and I love it!
Junior Member
Let me start by saying I really like your guide, and it helped me get started on Mundo. Always wanted to try him, just never knew where to start. I do really well early game, easy to get a couple kills before level 10, but it's the mid/late game that I eventually run into problems. I can't seem to stay alive in team fights. Should I be hitting people from afar an picking off people that are low on HP? If you have any recommendations, it'd help a lot.
Senior Member
To above poster: I don't think he meant the purpose of that build was to tank, I think he meant you can do great damage while also being more tanky with that build. To OP: I've always used a build similar like this, but I never rushed Phantoms. I just went in a game rushing for Phantoms (after mercs/tabi and Spirit Visage) and it went pretty well. However I still go for Atmas and Frozen Mallet next (which is more or less what the guy at page 2 posted) and it works wonders. A lot of damage while also being far from squishy. Oh, and +1... your guide is pretty good. I really liked the early Phantoms =)
GG Crono
Sadism increases the move speed bonus by 10% per level up, not 5%. My inner nitpicker couldn't refrain from pointing this out. That said, good guide.
The Council
If I play a straight dps Mundo, I end up having a lot of problems staying alive in team fights. I really like the phantom dancer on him. Even when tanking with him you cannot ignore dps, because you have no other way to make enemies target you. What health/survivability items would you recommend? I know you were hating on warmogs, but it is so good with his ult and passive. I usually find banshee's a bit excessive with burning agony, spirit visage and merc treads.
Force of nature, stacks with his passive regen. When tanking its a great item. But not for DPS mundo

Found this online:
Throughout the last third of the book, I kept groaning as all the earlier storylines coalesced into a massively unbelievable mad scientist scenario. Then things get really, really out of hand, and the final fifty pages degenerate into an awful exploration of 'soulistics', quantam mechanics, and consciousness. Despite the attempt to ratchet up the tension with a ticking clock device, the book grinds to an almost halt as tedious speechifying invades to 'explain' everything. The problem is that since Brin skimped (thankfully) on the hard science of the whole cloning procedure at the beginning of the book, it's doesn't work to make the process such a central plot element at the end. So, this is another of those massive scifi works that starts very promisingly, but both runs out of steam and is the victim of an overambitious scale.
Shopuld I apologize now?

The recent news that the New York Yankees are going to retire three more uniforms this season got my blood boiling, which might not be a bad thing as I shiver through this new Ice Age.
As someone who has followed the Bronx Bombers since that magical summer of 1961 when the M&M Boys—Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris—chased Babe Ruth's hallowed home run record, I appreciate the contributions of the men who've helped make the Yankees the most storied franchise in sports history. But that doesn't mean every star Yankee deserves to have his jersey number taken out of circulation. This excessive behavior has given new meaning to the expression: "Nobody does tradition like the New York Yankees." These days, it should be "Nobody overdoes tradition like the New York Yankees."
This summer's retirement of Andy Pettitte's No. 46, Jorge Posada's No. 20 and Bernie Williams' No. 51 will bring to 20 the number of numbers no longer in play. And later this year or next, Derek Jeter's No. 2 will be placed in mothballs, eliminating all the single-digit digits from ever being worn again and tying the Yankees with the Boston Celtics for the most retired jerseys by a sports franchise. Jeter clearly is deserving of the honor, because—like Ruth, Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Yogi Berra—he is a transcendent Yankee.
I have nothing against Posada, Williams and Pettitte (other than the fact that Andy used performance-enhancing drugs and honoring him at a time when the Yankees are doing everything in their power to rid themselves of PED abuser Alex Rodriguez seems a tad disingenuous). The trio clearly helped write this latest chapter of the Yankee dynasty, but they aren't quite in the same league as the aforementioned Pinstripe immortals, or even their contemporaries—Jeter and reliever Mariano Rivera.
Sadly, the genie has been let out of the bottle. And given the Steinbrenner family tradition of overdoing things, the jersey retirements may continue until the Yankees are forced to petition Major League Baseball for permission to don triple digits, or perhaps letters. There are 26 letters in the alphabet and, if you double them up, you could retire at least 52 more jerseys. That should take care of most of the players, plus a few bat boys and select members of the grounds crew.
I believe there should be only eight retired Yankee numbers: Jeter (2), Ruth (3), Gehrig (4), DiMaggio (5), Mantle (7), Berra (8), Rivera (42) and Whitey Ford (16). I'm sure the other Pinstripe legends would have been content with a day in their honor at the stadium and a plaque in Monument Park, which essentially is the Yankees Hall of Fame.
Instead, the organization has made a mockery of the process. The honor is now as watered down as a packet of Kool-Aid in a 50-gallon barrel of water.
Speaking of jersey celebrations, you may have heard how Syracuse University botched the retirement of Roosevelt Bouie's No. 50 during halftime ceremonies of the Pitt game in the Carrier Dome last Saturday afternoon. Seems some people in the athletic department have problems spelling and don't bother to double-check their work. The commemorative jersey presented to arguably the greatest center in Orange hoops history featured the nameplate: B-O-W-I-E. Oops!
Not surprisingly, this gaffe, in front of more than 30,000 spectators, went viral as critics on Twitter, Facebook and several national media websites had a field day. One of the better zingers pictured David Bowie in a Syracuse basketball uniform, noting that the rock star had once performed in the Dome. Hey, it could have been worse. Much worse. Imagine if they had misspelled Bouie's name on the large replica jersey unveiled near the Dome's rafters?
This isn't the first time SU has had the entire omelet on its face while commemorating its rich sporting past. Several years ago, the school unveiled a statue of 1961 Heisman Trophy winner Ernie Davis, featuring Nike swooshes on his cleats and a modern-day football helmet in his hand. This lack of attention to historical detail also resulted in negative national publicity. To its credit, the university quickly commissioned a new sculptor to fix the errors, just as it has ordered a new jersey for Bouie.
The classy Bouie took things in stride. He wasn't about to allow the faux pas to rain on his parade. Nor should he have. "They came to me and were very apologetic," he said. "They'll get it right and they'll get it back to me. They'll fix it. Really, it's no big deal."
Syracuse is considering proposals to either enhance or replace the Carrier Dome. To me, the most desirable option would be a retractable roof that could be opened on those beautiful autumn days during the football season. It's not a pleasant experience being cooped up inside a sweltering domed stadium on a mild day. I understand, though, that a retractable roof is probably a pipe dream because it would be cost-prohibitive. Other options include replacing the air-supported bubble with a permanent roof on the 35-year-old stadium, or seeking a site either off-campus or on SU's south campus. I think something would be lost if the stadium were away from the main campus.

Amazon To Pay Texas Sales Tax 274
from the everything's-slightly-more-expensive-in-texas dept.
from the everything's-slightly-more-expensive-in-texas dept.
An anonymous reader writes "The Houston Chronicle is reporting that Amazon.com will soon start collecting sales tax from buyers in state of Texas. 'Seattle-based Amazon, which had $34 billion in sales in 2010, has long opposed collecting taxes. That has drawn fire from state governments facing budget shortfalls and from traditional brick-and-mortar retailers, who say online sellers essentially give customers an automatic discount when they don't collect taxes. Combs has estimated the state loses $600 million a year from untaxed online sales. However, Amazon has recently begun making deals with a number of states to collect sales tax. Those deals have usually included a one- to three-year window exempting Amazon from sales tax collection.'"

These bong diffusers are water pipe additions which slide inside the bong to create more bubbles. You can find diffusers in all kinds of shapes, colors and different prices but the most important thing when it comes to diffusers is the number of slits they have. The more diffuser slits you have the more bubbles will be created. The more bubbles are created the better the smoke will be mixed with the water thus more cooler and smoother hits you will get.
A bong diffuser simply slides into the bong's water chamber and the glass bowl goes on top of the diffuser. Also you can add a downstem diffuser to your ash catcher (only the dobule ash catcher's permit that and not all) for extra bubbling. These images show how a downstem diffuser can be added to your bong.
In the first picture from the left, the six arm downstem diffuser is being connected to the ash catcher's chamber and a glass bowl is added on top. The diffuser's 18 diffuser slits and the ash catcher's 4 diffuser slits are working together to provide a crisp and smooth smoke experience. Additionally, a user can connect an extra six arm downstem that will connect the water pipe and the ash catcher so you will have 40 diffuser slits. Now that's what we call a clean smooth hit. To see more about the double ash catcher follow the link.
The second picture shows how to connect a six arm downstem diffuser to the water pipe and then to a swirl ash catcher. simply slide the downstem into the bong's water pool and the connect the ash catcher's 18.5 mm glass on glass connection piece to the six arm downstem and you are ready to go.
In the fourth picture we are using only the 6 arm downstem and the glass bowl. The downstem diffuser will slide into the bong's water pool. As you can see in the fifth picture, the downstem diffuser features 6 legs, each leg having 6 diffusers slits for a total number of 18 diffuser slits. To see more about the six arm downstem diffuser follow the link.

If you have a Twitter or Facebook account, dig around: many local assisted living communities, home care agencies, and national provider chains (Sunrise Senior Living, for example) now maintain a Facebook fan page or a Twitter handle.
We've said it more than once but we'll say it again here: reading about a senior care community online is not enough. You should always visit in person before making a decision. However, spending some time following tweet threads or trolling posts on a community's wall might help you determine whether or not to move forward with a tour.
Be careful not to rule out an assisted living home completely based on what you see on the screen. Call the community with your concerns. How they respond will be a good litmus test of their level of professionalism and customer service.
Word-of-mouth referrals (from people you trust) are helpful too. Why not ask your Facebook friends or Twitter followers questions like "How do you know when it's the right time for a senior care transition?" or "What assisted living communities do you recommend in the area?"
Consider carefully what is shared, and be certain to base your final decision on more than one person's point of view.

Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...Chris StroudNCGirlfriend ApprovesI bout this hairstraightner for my girlfriend for Christmas and she said it was the best present she received. She loves it. I have never seen her hair as straight as it is now. Definetly worth the money.posted Jan 4, 2005Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...LydiaWeslaco, TexasExcellentIm hispanic and have very coarse and thick hair and this is the best flat iron Ive purchased. I bought a cheap one and it just did not do the job for me. Even though I paid a little more for this product it was totally worth it!!!!posted Jan 4, 2005Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...DebFt. Lauderdale, FlSalon Quality ProductBought this as a present for my daughter who had wanted the Chi iron (which she had tried at a friends house)...She is so happy that I bought this one after reading reviews on both products. I would highly reccommend your product to anyone. Heats up fast and long hair can be finished in just 5 minutes.posted Jan 4, 2005Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...KarinNorth San Francisco Bay AreaSedu Ionic 1 1/2I have long, chemically treated (highlighted), very curly hair. I have lived in a climate that has a high moisture content in the air for most of my life therefore, given the climate, my hair is frequently frizzy. I have tried blow drying my hair to get it to be straight as well as using a plethora of hair products to help my hair stay straight- particularly during the wetter season of the year. About a year ago I purchased a cheap flat iron from a local drug store. The results were better than those I achieved from the blow dryer- but, when the moisture content in the air rose- my hair would eventually become frizzy again. I decided to see if I was using a bad flat iron- and began to search the internet for information. I found the Sedu Iron with many people speaking praises of their experiences with it. I purchased it about a month ago and have used it about two times per week since then. I found that I do not have to repeat flattening the same strands of hair over and over again as I did with my previous iron AND, I found that my hair stays straight when Im outside when it is raining- I was absolutely shocked! This iron truely is amazing and is absolutely the very best hair straightening implement I have ever- ever used! It is definately worth the investment if you want a tool that works perfectly and efficiently in straightening hair!posted Jan 4, 2005Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...JoanDisappointedAfter all the hype I really expected something quite wonderful, but it didnt live up to the many excellent reviews. I found it to be ordinary and not any better than the less expensive ones. I have very curly and thick but fine hair and prefer to use it differently than most. I like my curly hair, but it tends to get frizzy on the third day, so thats when a straightener is needed [saves me from over washing it in the winter]. I found that if I use a jumbo curling iron, I get better results. It didnt make my hair any shinier than my good old ceramic hot tools, and the plate is too small to work quickly. Folica is great about returns so no worries here.posted Jan 3, 2005Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...Alison OsmentLos AngelesHealthier HairI have the 1" Sedu and bought this for my friend with longer hair. We both have fine hair and use it on the medium setting. Our hair is in better condition for using the iron and not bothering with blow drying. This iron is excellent. Doesnt pull and is very light and fast heat up.posted Jan 3, 2005Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...JoshMy Wife Loves It !!!!!I bought it for my Wife for Christmas and She Love it. She has very thick, long, curly hair and it takes her about 20 minutes to straighten when it is Dry; when her hair is wet it takes about 40 min, with NO FRIZZ. Heats up very fast. Awesome Product!!posted Jan 3, 2005Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...JpsFrom Frizz To Fashionable!My daughter LOVES her Sedu iron. She has beautiful think wavy hair and never thought anything would get it straight enough. Was she surprised. Now she can have the trendy straight look and it only takes her 15 minutes (she would spend 45 minutes with her old iron and never did get straight enough). She even straightened her sisters hair - which is VERY frizzy. Never has my youngest daughter been willing to wear her hair down until today. SHe went off to school with her hair straight and manageable.DEFINITELY WORTH EVERY PENNY!posted Jan 3, 2005Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...ScpChi Vs. Sedu Flat IronThis is a great flat iron. I have used others such as the Superstar and the Chi, and this iron is just as good if not better. After using it my hair is as straight as can be and stays that way no matter what the weather is like outside. My hair still looks healthy and feels great. I highly reccommend...especially with the great price!posted Jan 3, 2005Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...ChelseaDoes An Awesome Job!!!My 12-year old daughter loves it --- "It works!"Only takes 20 seconds to heat up and takes a maximum of 10 minutes for really long hair.

Alcoa's NC Jobs-for-license Offer, A Year Later
In Mississippi, an initial silicon metal production operation was forecast to employ 200 at $45,000 a year. A silicon metal purifying operation employing about 750 was part of a second phase. Mississippi promised $75 million in loans and grants, and Lowndes County guaranteed to lease the land and build roads and other improvements.
But the company planning the big project, Silicor Materials Inc., has missed deadlines to get started this year, said Joe Max Higgins, chief executive officer of Golden Triangle Development Link, the business recruiting agency for Lowndes and two other counties. Silicor Materials, of which Correnti is executive chairman, has had trouble concluding funding commitments, Higgins said.
Silicor Materials is facing a Dec. 31 deadline to put up $150,000 to cover Lowndes Country's expenses if the deal falls through, Higgins said. The money would be refunded if construction on the silicon metal plant gets started.
"When they're dropping the ball on Times Square, when the ball hits zero, if there's not the $150,000 deposited into our account, we will nullify the loan and incentive package" the county offered, Higgins said. "My people here don't understand: How can a guy be building a $200 million project and then have a problem with escrowing $150,000 when he's missed two critical deadlines?"
Correnti said in an interview he's willing to walk away from the Mississippi project rather than post the money. "We're not going to put any money down on escrow. I never have on any project I've ever done. If people don't have the patience for it, so be it. That's OK," he said. Correnti has had mixed success in Mississippi. He was instrumental in opening a steel mill in Columbus in 2007. A Russian company later bought out Correnti and other senior managers and changed its name to Severstal. Correnti also promised a steel rebar mill that hasn't materialized in Amory.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Not much left to be said about the state of the markets. Let's focus on what we will do instead. In corrections, I like to look at stocks that are showing relative strength and defying the sell-offs. These are the long setups. For short setups, I like stocks that are just starting to struggle and fail around key levels on the daily chart and are not oversold yet.
LONG Setups:
- CF – extremely oversold and put in a bullish reversal today in the weak market, expecting continuation toward 190
- NPSP – strong move on good volume today, expecting continuation to 11
- FB – another stock that completely ignored the market today and made a decent bounce off 200dma, will be looking for continuation toward 27.50 and 50dma
- YELP – constructive pullback with support at 50dma, expecting bounce
- POT – bounced off 39 on higher volume, expecting continuation higher
SHORT Setups:
- WSM – starting to break down from an overbought setup, expecting downside to 48 and 20dma
- RVBD – feeble bounce into resistance at 20dma and 15 may be running out of steam, expecting reversal and move back to 14.50
- BKS – slipping further below 20dma, next area of support is 50dma or 15
- GNRC – been consolidating under 50dma in a narrow range for a long time, today's action suggest it will resolve down from this range
- RMD – rounding over within a slightly overbought setup, expecting a return to 20dma
- WHR – failed to get above 20dma, reversed on higher volume and found support at 50dma, expecting additional downside to 110 and below
- DLR – bearish consolidation under all key moving averages, likely additional downside to 64

We are all one. If we all knew it, we could not hurt one another. By sharing this message, perhaps we can change the world. Visit OneJourney.net to learn more!
Question: I play a difficult musical instrument to master, but I have a wonderful teacher, known all over the world. He has corrected me many times, and yet as I continue to practice, these supposed corrections still come out wrong… as well as my anger towards myself for failing to learn! What am I missing here; why do I continue to fail?
Answer: Our challenge in life is to be the best it is possible for us to be, which is the same as working to be the most awake human being that we can be in the moment. This "best possible" is not a skill, not a creative gift, not even a strength; it is our wish to live in the present moment, in the light of truth, and to give ourselves over to that living Presence to the best of our ability. If we do this… truly acting on the truths that we know as fully as we can… we succeed in life, regardless of the outcome, and regardless of what others think of us. No one holds the key to your heart and mind. Which means that anything or anyone that is troubling you — from a miss-struck string on an instrument to your own sour note for having made a mistake — is because you have forgotten your right to give yourself to what is your choosing.

I am entering this instructable in the "I could make that" contest, so if you like what you see, please vote!
Step 1: Gathering Materials
Ingredients for this Project:
-Reclaimed floor boards
-Reclaimed slats from a bed
-30in hairpin legs from http://hairpinlegsforless.com/
-1-1/2 inch woods screws
-Wood glue
-Belt sander
-Orbital sander
-Screw gun
-Sand paper
Also second the wax-paper. Put some between the glue-up and your weights, and/or clamps, and you'll never have to worry about gluing them together again.
Nice job. With those legs give it a clean modern look I might have eased over the top edges but that might not work so well with the hard edge minimal look.
I always worry about solid wood movement ever since I heard a small library table split its top when it started to shrink as it was drying out from getting damp. I see that you have fasteners in each board that should keep the joints even when they move sealing all sides can minimize the movement. The traditional solution is slotted holes in the stretchers or braces across the grain to allow for the top to move.
love that minimal look!

Your table should last a very long time, and can be easily resurfaced at any time.

text: I was an English major, too in college. I was fascinated by the ideas we discussed, but the more abstruse and divorced from reality concepts became, the more I just wanted to scream! If an idea utterly lacks connection to the real world, what use is it? What I have found is, if you think of something carefully enough, you can make concrete connections from even rather abstract ideas. Like a very wise professor once said to me, if you cannot explain something to your grandparents, you really do not understand it.

New Mexico State Animal:
The black bear was designated the official state animal of New Mexico in 1963. A black bear's head is the symbol of the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. Smokey Bear (selected by the U.S. Forest Service as spokesman and symbol for fire prevention) was found as a cub cowering in an injured tree after a 17,000 acre forest fire in the Lincoln National Forest near Capitan. Smokey is buried in Smokey Bear State Park in Capitan. Black bears are very intelligent, shy, and secretive animals - actually seeing a bear in the wild is a very rare experience. Black bears (Ursus americanus) are not always black - there are also cinnamon, white, beige, and "blue" (slate gray) black bears. Adult black bears vary considerably in size, from 130 - 500 pounds (occasionally as much as 700). The black bear is omnivorous and will eat just about anything. While they prefer nuts, berries, grasses, and roots, they also eat insects and small mammals, and if nothing else is available, carrion. The black bear ranges from the far north (Alaska and northern Canada) to northern Mexico. They can run up to 30 mph and are good swimmers (photo of black bear swimming).

Sponsored by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the Friends of Athens, this evening of history and fun will begin at 5 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Kingfisher and Deccan will be merged in April under a new holding company
More consolidation is on its way in the fast-changing Indian market with low-cost carrier Deccan and full-service carrier Kingfisher Airlines planning to merge as a single business entity.
Privately-owned Kingfisher's parent UB Group bought into publicly traded Deccan last year, initially acquiring 26% and later increasing its stake to 46%, before lifting it further to 49.8%. After the initial buy-in, consulting firm Accenture was hired to see how the two airlines could work together, and recommended a merger under a common holding company with a single management team. The recommendation was recently accepted and plans call for Kingfisher to be merged into the Deccan Aviation holding company by 1 April, with UB Group having majority ownership.
The company will remain publicly traded but will be renamed Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. Kingfisher and UB head Vijay Mallya will be chairman and chief executive while Deccan's executive chairman, Capt GR Gopinath, will be vice-chairman. For now at least, the two brand names look set to be retained for flight operations and their business models kept largely intact. However, Deccan has in recent months been progressively adopting the corporate colours of Kingfisher (see picture) while adding some in-flight frills.
India's air transport market has been growing rapidly since Deccan's 2003 launch, which was followed by the launch of many other airlines, including Kingfisher in 2005. Almost all of the country's carriers are losing money, however, and over the past year there have been several consolidation moves by the stronger players. In addition to the Kingfisher-Deccan tie-up, Jet Airways acquired the former Air Sahara, which now operates as JetLite, and state-owned Air India and Indian Airlines were merged under the Air India name.
Meanwhile, Kingfisher is continuing to seek rights to operate international services but its hopes that they would be secured before the end of 2007 were dashed. India's existing civil aviation policy states that privately-owned carriers can only operate international services after five years of continuous operations.
Several carriers have launched in India over the last five years and many, including Kingfisher, are lobbying hard for the restrictions to be eased. A new civil aviation policy has been under consideration for some time but government ministers are now at odds over proposals to allow more privately-owned airlines to operate international services.

@Anon156527: The reason countries buy oil from other countries, even though that country already has oil, is for trade. It's all about comparative advantage and opportunity cost.
For example, country A can make ten cars in a year or a hundred computers. Country B can make 15 cars in a year or two hundred computers. Since country B is so much better at everything, why would they choose to trade with country A? It's about opportunity cost. If country B chooses to make cars, for example, it chooses to not make computers. To make the trade relationship work, the countries choose to make the product in which they have a comparative advantage.
Country A can make one car for every ten computers.
Country B can make one car for every 40 computers.
Country A's opportunity cost to make a car is lower than country B's.
In other words, it only "costs" Country A ten computers, compared to 40. So even though Country A makes fewer cars, their opportunity cost is lower, so they have a comparative advantage in making cars. Similarly, when it comes to making computers, Country B is giving up less (cars) so it has a comparative advantage in making computers.
Country A specializes in cars and Country B specializes in computers, so the trade relationship works and both countries profit.
Similarly, the Middle East specializes in oil, and the US specializes in something else (I don't know what) but the trade relationship works. I learned this in international business class. Hope this helps your understanding.

BOISE CHAMBER MUSIC SERIES presents
THE HORSZOWSKI TRIO of New York City is featured on the second concert of the 2014-15 season of the Boise Chamber Music Series, in its Boise debut. On Friday, Nov. 14, at 7:30, in the Morrison Center Recital Hall, Jesse Mills, violin; Raman Ramakrishnan, cello; and
Rieko Aizawa, piano; will perform works by Schubert, John Harbison, and Tchaikovsky, all never before heard on the BCMS.
Schubert's Sonatensatz, D. 28 is a single movement written when the composer was fifteen years old, and has only been published since 1923. Pulitzer-prize winning American composer John Harbison's Short Stories (20013) is a set of four brief movements describing human narrative types, from "ballad" to "rumors and reports," with economical wit. The concert concludes with a rare performance of Tchaikovsky's mammoth Piano Trio Op. 50, the composer's only work for this medium, and a tour-de force of pianistic virtuosity. Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio became the prototype Russian "elegiac" piano trio for later composers such as Rachmaninov and Shostakovich.
Hailed by The New Yorker as "destined for great things," when they played together for the first time, Jesse Mills, Raman Ramakrishnan, and Rieko Aizawa immediately felt the spark of a unique connection. Many years of close friendship had created a deep trust between the players, which in turn led to exhilarating expressive freedom. And so, in 2011, they formed the Horszowski (Hor-SHOV-ski) Trio. (Ms. Aizawa was the last pupil of the legendary pianist, Mieczysław Horszowski (1892-1993), at the Curtis Institute.)
Their debut recording, an album of works by Fauré, Saint-Saëns, and D'Indy – all composers Mieczysław Horszowski knew – will be released by Bridge Records in the fall of 2014. They have also recorded "For Daniel" for a series of chamber music recordings to be released to celebrate the 75th birthday of Joan Tower. Based in New York City, the members of the Horszowski Trio teach at Columbia University and the Longy School of Music of Bard College.

Zoo York
In 1993, OG skateboarders Rodney Smith, Eli Morgan Gessner, and Adam Schatz teamed up to found the East Coast's first true skateboarding-inspired lifestyle brand - Zoo York. The trio siphoned creative inspiration from NYC's rapidly evolving skateboarding, hip-hop, and graffiti scenes to produce a variety of culturally relevant products that were dark and gritty like New York City.

This Tree is a result of years of gathering data by A.B.Gulledge.He had everything in ledger form. The ledgers were passed on to Mr Denver Bowman, a second cousin.

The Best High Chair
I received this high chair as a gift and I get lots of compliments on it! It is very functional. It has a reclining mode that you can use for newborn (just make sure you also purchase the bloom universal snug liner for extra cushion). And it literally grows with your child. My son loves it. It is a bit pricey, but I think worth every penny given its sleek design and utility.

The Phyliss St. Dennis Homepage - Calgary, ABUpdated June 30, 2008 |
Phyliss Marie St. Dennis email@example.com |
Edit Your Page |
I have been researching my ancestors in the the Lacerte, St. Dennis (St. Denis) family as well as the Larocque family. Both of my parents grew up in the Willow Bunch area of Saskatchewan. I have been able to retrieve information from the Government of Canada Archives and from an invaluable book "Baptisms, Marriages and Burials of St. Ignace Parish Willow Bunch - Saskatchewan, 1882-1910" by Gail Morin. These are two of my main sources. Also, I am very grateful for the information provided by my aunt Rosina St. Dennis (Chartrand) for all her help. Also, I am doing research into the Spies and Barley families from Ontario, which is the paternal side of my children's tree. If you find any of your ancestors on this site please let me know and if you can contribute it would be most welcome. Send me a note via email. |
