OK, so we're going to hold open the GearWrench contest until Friday (info on how to enter here). On Saturday we'll pick our winners, so if you entered, check your email by early next week. What usually happens is that there are a few people who we contact but never hear back from and sorting the whole mess out and choosing alternate winners holds things up for everyone else.
We also want to thank GearWrench for suggesting the contest and supplying the goods. It's very cool and all of you winners won't be disappointed with the quality of the ratchet.
Also, if you don't win (and even if you do), we're going to have another contest next week, so keep an eye out.

My old pal JW (aka producerboy), just sent me an email proudly announcing that he was waiting for his Noden Adjust-A-Bench to arrive in the mail. "What the hell's an Adjust-A-Bench," I thought. A few clicks later, I was staring at a very cool piece of equipment.
The Adjust-A-Bench is a work table with telescoping legs that allow it to be set at a variety of heights. Actually, they're not really legs, but rather two nested frames made of 1/8-inch thick powder-coated steel. To adjust the table top, just grab a side and raise it up, then do the same with the other side. You can also set the sides to different heights if you want. Here's a video with some details and explanation:

Last week we reviewed the Overhead Crate Storage System which we think is pretty cool. It utilizes the space in between the joist bays of your garage or basement and fills them with easy to access storage containers. Now we want to call your attention to a different larger method for stowing stuff up high: the Racor Ceiling Storage Lift.
This one is a lot bigger than the Overhead Crate and takes a much higher ceiling to use. It's basically a platform on a lift system that can be raised and lowered at your convenience. The 4x4 platform can hold 250-pounds. In other words it can hold all of your Christmas decorations, all of your Halloween decorations, your kid's artwork that you refuse to get rid of, and the canoe that you never use.
The lift is operated by a hand crank or it can be operated by a drill. The max on the raise/lower is 8-feet.
The lift is priced at around $150. Seems like a fair price to us.

Our good friend Marc who runs the great site HomeFixated, has just launched two more websites making him, in technical terms, an internet mogul. He sent us info on his new projects and they're definitely going to appeal to anyone who reads our little tool blog on a regular basis.
The new sites from Marc are:
Features clever tips and tricks that will help you: be a better chef, make things spotless with ingenious cleaning tricks, turn you into the life of the party with clever tricks, repurpose household items, and enhance your sex life (no guarantees on the last one). You can also expect more construction/tool/woodworking hacks to appear there in the coming months.
The tagline for the site is "Where DIY meets WTF" (oh yes I did!), but really this site is showcasing the world's worst craftsmanship and the worst judgment when it comes to construction and home "improvement". If you don't laugh (hysterically) at some of these pics and videos, you are a made of stone!
Personally, our tastes run closer to HomeFail than HomeHacks, but that's just us. Our entire house is a HomeFail, so maybe that has something to do with it. But go and check out the sites, they're cool.

It's pretty sad when you can mine your house for gags as much as I've been able to.
This time it's the siding.
This may be one of the worst siding jobs ever done by human hands. Sure, it's mostly straight and the courses are kinda parallel, but look at the seams between the shingles. Look at how many of them line up with the course above or below them...it's almost like someone wanted to get water into the building envelope. There is one side of the house that I didn't photograph where a single seam runs down eleven consecutive courses.
I had a siding guy over to price out re-doing everything and he looked at the house and actually started laughing.
Oh and what's up with that cap flashing on the lower window in the first picture? And those ugly shutters...as soon as I strip this side of the house, they're going right in the dumpster.

We've been holding on to this review for a while. We've had the new Milwaukee M18 Fuel Hammer Drill/Driver for months and months and we kept thinking we'd find its breaking point, but no such luck. We've tried hard to bust it up, wear it down, and simply burn it out. But we can't, it's a champ. A real heavyweight. Maybe the most powerful 18 volt drill we've used. There is no stopping it.

GearWrench has been nice enough to set aside 10 (ten, diez) of their new 120XP Flex Head Ratchet for us to giveaway here at the site.
They also sent one a couple weeks ago and we're nothing but impressed with the thing. It has an adjustable head with six positions, a 3/8" drive and a nice long handle - 11-1/2" from pivot to tip. The rubberized grip is comfortable and the action on the pivot is nice and firm. The head of the tool has a low profile and the toggle switch is even recessed a little, making this a great tool for tight spaces.
The scene stealer, though, is the ratcheting action. The 120 in the name of the tool comes from the number of 'stops' in one complete revolution. This is done with this double pawl mechanism, so there are actually two locking mechanisms in the head of the tool. If you click it slowly enough, you can hear the difference between clicks. Our pal Stu from ToolGuyd, took one apart and posted up this video of the gears in action:
So yeah, I've got ten of these to giveaway. To get in the mix for the random drawing, just leave a comment at this post explaining:
1. Why you like the looks of this tool.
2. Your most recent DIY disaster. I'm in the middle of a 2 year renovation and need some support group help. There must be others out there like me....
Either question is fine and doesn't affect the outcome. The drawing is completely random.
If you don't like the looks of the 3/8-inch flex head, GearWrench has the following which should be available at fine tool retailers everywhere:
• 1/4" Drive Flex Head Ratchet in full polish or cushion grip
• 3/8" Drive Flex Head Ratchet in full polish, stubby and cushion grip
• 1/2" Drive Flex Head Ratchet in full polish
• Two-piece cushion grip Flex Head Ratchet Set, with a durable foam storage tray
• Four- piece full polish mixed ratchet set, which includes ¼", 3/8", and ½" drive 120XP full polish Flex Head Ratchets and 3/8" drive 120XP full polish stubby Flex Head Ratchet in a durable foam storage tray

So what to do with all of our stuff? It's a constant question here and with the garage being pulled into the big renovation, it's something we've been thinking about a lot. The shop is going to get a major overhaul and storage is the number one concern. We're definitely going to use some of those Racor Snap2It hooks (reviewed here), and there will certainly be shelves for the daily use tools, but what about everything else? If there's something we only use a few times a year, there's no point in it clogging up valuable shelf space. Well, a while back, we were contacted by Overhead Crate and it just so happens that they have the perfect solution.

Everyone should have at least one of these things. I'm lucky enough to have three. These saws have seen it all and as long as I can keep replacing the cords, which seem to get severed a lot, they'll be getting handed down to Tool Snob Jr. in about 20 years. They are long since past the days of being used as a normal jobsite saw and are now well into their second careers as 'special forces.' The footplates are a little bent up and the bevel on one of them is immovable. I keep one outfitted with a masonry blade, and two with wood blades, but it's hardly wood that they're cutting, more like multi-layer asphalt roofs and concrete-coated form work. I don't care what happens to them and they don't seem to care what I do to them. It's a relationship that works.
I don't use them all the time, but when I need them, they're golden. It wasn't too long ago that I had to trench my basement slab out for some plumbing and the Makita was there to do the work. Who wants to use their nice woodworking saw for that kind of abuse? But that's the life that these saws live. They fill in the cracks and because they're the ones that take the hits on the dirty work, they keep my other saws nice, clean, and sharp.
The big one on the right, that's the roof cutter. If that saw was a person, it would be Leonard Smalls from Raising Arizona. I have no idea on the quality of current day Makitas, but these older ones are real monsters.

Who knew we'd ever refer to an extension cord as intelligent? But oddly enough, that's the best way to describe the RoboReel. Even calling it an extension cord is a gross over simplification, it's more of a one-stop power system for your shop. Great Stuff, the makers of the Reel sent us one to check out a while back and we've had it in the mix for the renovation as well as general shop use. It's easily the most feature-riddled power cord we've ever put eyes on.

Sorry for cross posting.The following question is also posted on Elastic Search's google group.
In short I am trying to find out why I am not able to get optimal performance while doing searches on a ES index which contains about 1.5 millon records.
Currently I am able to get about 500-1000 searches in 2 seconds. I would think that this should be orders of magnitudes faster. Also currently I am not using thrift.
Here is how I am checking the performance.
Using 0.19.1 version of pyes (tried both stable and dev version from github) Using 0.13.8 version of requests
conn = ES(['localhost:9201'],timeout=20,bulk_size=1000)
loop_start = time.clock()
q1 = TermQuery("tax_name","cellvibrio")
for x in xrange(1000000):
if x % 1000 == 0 and x > 0:
loop_check_point = time.clock()
print 'took %s secs to search %d records' % (loop_check_point-loop_start,x)
results = conn.search(query=q1)
if results:
for r in results:
# print len(results)
Appreciate any help that you can give to help me scaleup the searches.

Computer applications for prediction of protein–protein interactions and rational drug design

Abstract: In recent years, protein–protein interactions are becoming the object of increasing attention in many different fields, such as structural biology, molecular biology, systems biology, and drug discovery. From a structural biology perspective, it would be desirable to integrate current efforts into the structural proteomics programs. Given that experimental determination of many protein–protein complex structures is highly challenging, and in the context of current high-performance computational capabilities, different computer tools are being developed to help in this task. Among them, computational docking aims to predict the structure of a protein–protein complex starting from the atomic coordinates of its individual components, and in recent years, a growing number of docking approaches are being reported with increased predictive capabilities. The improvement of speed and accuracy of these docking methods, together with the modeling of the interaction networks that regulate the most critical processes in a living organism, will be essential for computational proteomics. The ultimate goal is the rational design of drugs capable of specifically inhibiting or modifying protein–protein interactions of therapeutic significance. While rational design of protein–protein interaction inhibitors is at its very early stage, the first results are promising.
Keywords: protein–protein interactions, drug design, protein docking, structural prediction, virtual ligand screening, hot-spots

A Linguistic Basis for Multi-Agency Coordination Presented to the 13th International Command and Control Research and Technology Symposium Paper I-152 Dr. Ulrich Schade Dr. Michael Hieb FGAN-FKIE George Mason University GERMANY US email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com FGAN Content 1. A Theory of Common Intent for Multi-Agency Operations 2. The Linguistic Basis • A formal language for C2 communication • Necessary enhancements for Multi-Agency Operations 3. Example 4. Conclusions FGAN Intent At the beginning of a Complex Endeavor each participating organization in a multi-agency operation has its own intent. As experiments by Farrell (2004, 2006) illustrate an Endeavor will be more successful • if the organizations communicate their intent (such that each organization knows the intent of the other organizations) for Deconflicted or Coordinated Endeavors • and – even better – if they share (parts of) their intent such that they can cooperate for Collaborative or Agile Endeavors FGAN Intent Common Intent "the sum of shared explicit intent plus operationally relevant shared implicit intent" (Pigeau & McCann, 2000) The implicit part of intent is the main source of misunderstanding and failure in multi-agency operations. The amount of misunderstandings that arises from not sharing intent increases if the agencies have different kinds of background (military, humanitarian, governmental, …). FGAN Intent As a conclusion, at the beginning of a Complex Endeavor involving Multi-Agency Operations, intent should be communicated and an explicit agreement should be aimed at that expresses common intent. This Communication and Agreement needs a language. FGAN A Linguistic Basis for Intent and Communication In the past, we developed a formal language for military communication (including formal communication of intent) because not all recipients can understand free text expressions. Examples are: • Coalition Forces not speaking English as their native tongue • Simulated Forces • Future (smart) Robotic Forces FGAN A Linguistic Basis for Intent and Communication The development of our formal language is part of the BML (Battle Management Language) standardization processes: • IEEE Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization Product Development Group ("Coalition BML") • NATO Modeling and Simulation Working Group (NATO RTO MSG-048 "Coalition BML") Our language is based on a formal grammar: the Command and Control Lexical Grammar (C2LG). The C2LG has been used in the demonstration given by NATO RTO MSG-048 at I/ITSEC, Orlando in November 2007. FGAN System Architecture of the Demonstration presented by NATO MSG-048 at I/ITSEC, Orlando, Nov. 2007 JC3IEDM BML C2 Visualizer C2PC USMTF CAPES Interface JSAF C2 Specific Interface ISIS JBML C2LG JBML WS JC3IEDM + JBML WS SCIPIO ISIS translator JBML XML file plug-in NORTaC- JBML C2LG Data prefill C2IS (OOB, etc.) SIMBAD NorTAC translator JBML WS plug-in FGAN New Communications Purely Military Communications do not work when in a Complex Endeavor: Orders and Reports are not sufficient. The speech act "order" assumes that the one who gives the order can expect the one who receives the order will execute it. In the context of a Complex Endeavor, "requests" are used rather than "orders". FGAN New Communications Directive: A Speech act that has the purpose of having the receiver perform a task. Typical directives are: Orders typical for classical military operations Requests typical for complex endeavors also [Pleas] [Challenges] FGAN New Communications Orders The right to direct the receiver results from the (classical military) organizational hierarchy. (The receiver is subordinate to the sender.) Requests The right to direct the receiver does not result from a organizational hierarchy, but derives from the common intent where the requested action would help to achieve a common goal (as agreed upon in the common intent). FGAN New Communications Orders That the recipient of an order executes the ordered task goes without question. Requests That the recipient of a request executes the requested task is not certain. However, the requester needs to know whether the requested task will be executed. Thus, the receiver of a request must confirm that the request was received and – if the receiver will execute the requested task – he has to commit himself to do so. FGAN New Communications Our language must also include Confirmations and Commissives. These types of expressions serve as coordination tools in the multi-agent context of Complex Endeavors. FGAN New Communications An Expansion of our previous work has resulted in the Multi Agency Operations Language (MAOL) Military Forces NGOs and Military Forces ↓ information ↔ exchange of intent about intent agreement on common intent ↓ order ↓ directive: tasking, (order) ↑ report, request ↑ report, directive: request report, (request) report, directive: request ↓ task-confirmation, request-confirmation ↑ tasking-confirmation, commision request-commision, commision FGAN Developing a Command and Control Grammar We developed our C2 Grammar such that it includes Command Intent, Tasking and Coordination. Tasking → Command_Intent OB* Coord_Space* Coord_Time* Command Intent [Expanded Purpose] [Key Tasks] [End State] OB is a basic order expression by which tasks are assigned to units. OB consists of a tasking verb and constituents. FGAN A Tasking Grammar The production rules for the basic expressions have the following general form: OB Verb Tasker Taskee (Affected | Action) Where Start-When (End-When) Why Label (Mod)* "Verb" is an action, normally a task "Tasker" is a "Who", the unit which commands the task "Taskee" is a "Who", the unit which executes the task "Affected" is a "Who", the unit which is affected by the task "Action" is another action/task affected by the task "Where" is a "location phrase" "When" is a "time phrase" "Label" is a label given to a task to allow it to be referred in other basic expressions "Mod" refers to conditional modifiers FGAN Command Intent CI → [Expanded Purpose] [Key Tasks] [End State] The Expanded Purpose is similar to the End State, but expresses more general aspects of the resulting situation. The Key Tasks are tasks and conditions that are essential to accomplishing the mission. The (desired) End State describes the resulting situation that is achieved when the mission is accomplished. FGAN Example: A Disaster Relief Operation The example is based on ATLAS 2007, a disaster response exercise organized by Civil Protection of Romania and German Collaborative Center 461 "Strong Earthquakes" Scenario: Earthquake in Bucharest; parameters according to a real earthquake that hit the Vrancea region in 1977; resulting damage in Bucharest calculated on these parameters and the current building structure of Bucharest FGAN Example: A Disaster Relief Operation Our Scenario (in a less stable and less organized region): Earthquake in the city of Surgant in province Ibra of ARGA ARGA has a week government. The separatist movement CILL wants to "liberate" Ibra. Neighbor state BARCA supports ARGA against CILL because It fears that CILL after liberating Ibra will try to liberate BARCA's province Novorro. FGAN Example: A Disaster Relief Operation The Endeavor: • ARGA's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) • controls and coordinates response teams • Red Cross (NGO) • has medical teams • BARCA's Military Forces • protection against CILL • has Helicopters • has Engineering Equipment: Bulldozers, Cranes, etc. FGAN Example: A Disaster Relief Operation – Intent [key tasks]: Rescue civilians in Surgant beginning at time October 2, 2007 at 0800. rescue EOC OPEN civilian at Surgant start at TP1 label-kt-01; Determine building damage and identify those buildings that need to be evacuated in Surgant beginning at time October 2, 2007 at 0800. classify EOC OPEN facility at Surgant start at TP1 label-kt-02; [end state]: The end state of this operation is that all civilians in danger as a result of the earthquake are safe by October 5, 2007 at 0800. rescue OPEN civilian at Surgant end at TP9 RPTFCT label-es-01; We assume that the EOC and the Red Cross agree on the first key task and the end state as their common intent. FGAN Example: A Disaster Relief Operation – Situation Report ↑ Response Team D to EOC: Building Melkart Street 1 (Building 2109) is moderately damaged. status-building-report: Building 2109 moderately damaged at now RPTFCT label-r-01; FGAN Example: A Disaster Relief Operation – Task Report ↑ Response Team D to EOC: Heard Help Cries at Building Melkart Street 1 (Building 2109); 5 buried persons located. Begin rescuing. ← The response team starts rescuing without explicit directive because of the common intent. status-person-report: 5 neutral civilian (label C5) buried at Building 2109 at now RPTFCT label-r-02; task-report: rescue RT-D C5 at Building 2109 start at now RPTFCT label-r-03; FGAN Example: A Disaster Relief Operation – Confirmation ↓ EOC to Response Team D: OK. Response D, you are at Building 2109, rescuing 5 buried people. task-confirmation: label-r-03; EOC confirms the rescuing action. In our language the confirmation is given by referring to the label of the confirmed report or directive. FGAN Example: A Disaster Relief Operation – Request ↑ Response Team D to EOC: 4 people rescued at Building 2109; 1 rescued person badly hurt; medical support needed. task-report: rescue RT-D 4 of C5 at Building 2109 end at now RPTFCT label-r-04; status-person-report: 1 of C5 (label C28) wounded at Building 2109 at now RPTFCT label-r-05; request: support Medical-Team RT-D at Building 2109 start asap now label-d-01; FGAN Example: A Disaster Relief Operation – Tasking EOC to RedCross: 1 rescued person heavily hurt at Building 2109; request medical support. status-person-report: 1 neutral civilian (label C28) wounded at Building 2109 at now RPTFCT label-r-06; tasking: support Medical-Team RT-D at Building 2109 start asap now label-d-02; We assume that the Red Cross has agreed to the common intent (to rescue the civilians) and thus can tasked to do so. FGAN Conclusions We presented a formal language (the MAOL) for conducting operations through space and time. The language presented includes mechanisms to support developing the explicit part of a Common Intent. The language also includes the means to coordinate the activities of organizations participating in a Complex Endeavor. The grammar this language is based on is being developed and standardized in NATO and IEEE. The use of the language not only enables coordination, but also supports collaboration and agility. FGAN Thanks for Your Attention ! Questions and Comments are appreciated. FGAN Backup: Commander's Intent The United States Department of Defence defines Commander's Intent as: "A concise expression of the purpose of the operation and the desired end state that serves as the initial impetus for the planning process. It may also include the commander's assessment of the adversary commander's intent and an assessment of where and how much risk is acceptable during the operation." The US Army in Field Manual 3-0, Operations, similarly defines Commander's Intent as: "A clear, concise statement of what the force must do and the conditions the force must meet to succeed with respect to the enemy, terrain and the desired end state." FGAN Backup: Formal Language • Formal Languages provide a rigorous framework for automated processing. • Formal languages are defined by grammars. • The military domain provides excellent structure to terms and actions in a formal language. • Current Message and Data-based communications do not go far enough – a grammar is needed to give additional meaning. FGAN Backup: Grammar A formal language is defined by a grammar. The grammar provides • a lexicon in order to determine the words which may be used as well as their semantics (their meaning); • a finite set of rules in order to determine how to concatenate the words and to give meaning to the catenations. FGAN Backup: Lexical Functional Grammar Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) is a theory of grammar – that is, in general terms, a theory of: • syntax (how words can be combined together to make larger phrases, such as sentences) • morphology (how morphemes - parts of words - can be combined to make up words), • semantics (how and why various words and combinations of words mean what they mean), and • pragmatics (how expressions are used to transmit information) We use the Lexical Functional Grammar as the basis for the Formal Grammar.

Love On A Rotten Day

Red Bird's Song
by Beth Trissel
Somethings just happen, why? I wish i could tell you. This poem is just the brutal truth of how sad our world has become.
Frozen lace
Two little babies
Each with their own soul,
The fading of her heartbeat,
Mama's losing control...
She chose the meth,
Over her children's breath...
Packed her bags,
Got up and left.
They tried to make her stay,
But she just had to get away...
Blinded by her sad disease,
She left her babes with too much ease.
Watching her leave into the night,
Knowing they weren't worth the fight.
They begged and pleaded,
But were defeated...
They stood there silent,
Though it was tough...
Hearts grow cold,
They weren't enough.
They left their home,
Into the cold...
They walk alone,
No hand to hold.
Sorrow building in her mind,
The precious children she'd left behind...
The new her lives out on the street,
Without her babies' body heat.
Teardrops running down their face,
Slowly turning to frozen lace.
Rosy cheeks and joyful smiles,
Begin to fade from countless miles.
Their tiny boots pushing through the snow,
The burden of being too young to know...
They'll never know what could've been,
It's nothing like they've ever seen.
Big blue eyes wander aimlessly in space,
Confused, forgotten, and unfortunately misplaced...
Two small girls left to fend for themselves,
Pictures and memories left on the shelves.
Their mother bathes in her regret,
Maybe it's not too late just yet...
She leaves the needles at her feet,
Gets up to prove that she's not beat.
The loves of her life,
How could she leave them...
The ice in her veins,
It made her deceive them.
Little did she know,
She was already too late...
Never got to see them grow,
It was clearly just her fate.
Their little lifeless bodies,
Huddled on the ground...
Tiny frozen lips,
Incapable of sound.

TWU sweet spot zones
Hey all,
I'm curious as to people's experiences comparing the "sweet zones" on their racquets to what the TWU "sweet zone" analyses show. I've found myself relying on those stats when deciding what racquets to demo. I just wanted to get a sense of how those sweet zone sizes compare to real-world experiences with the sticks. Thanks!
TWU stats
All the specs have a very strong correlation with the measured SW. Especially the power zones. So take at that too.
About the sweet spot zones. You can take a look at how fast the power is decreasing outside the center. Especially a racket with a a 'relative higher loss of power' will has a smaller sweetspot
Also bear in mind that it only makes sense when you compare racquets with equal head sizes.

Test Square is not 4 ins.
This is my first pattern online purchase. I followed the instruction to print the test square first to measure accuracy. I did that, but there is no instruction on what to do if your square is not 4 inches/10 cm.
What do I do?

When printing it out, you have to be sure that it isn't printing "fit to page" or scaled down. What you can do is either check "actual size" or set the scale to 100%. If you don't want to waste paper and ink, you can print out the page with the test square first and check if it's the right size.

(adv fleet weapons=Dil for provisions->Dil for the weapon on TOP of fleet credits).
One constant for both Fleet and Rep, is the obscene dilithium requirements.
Rep costs are really just a drop in the bucket compared to special projects. And two of them at a time, to boot. (Fleet+Embassy).
All that said, from a business standpoint, it makes sense that they are trying to get us to burn all of our dilithium.
If we are throwing it all into projects/rep/items, then we have none left to buy zen with.
If we have no dil to buy zen with, then we must buy Zen with real money.
And if we need more dil? We CAN buy zen with real money, then sell it on the dil exchange... for ever lowering prices. (less return for your Z).
Both instances are win-win for PWE, and lose-lose for us.
But I think they need to find a happy medium between profitability and having some semblance of respect for their customers to at LEAST
they're not fu... *ahem*
us rather, for all we're worth.
In conclusion:
The dilithium costs are...
well, you know.
Everything you say makes perfect sense. Also, your avatar is awesome.

Everyday dishes to use in microwave
My dishes get very hot in the microwave and since I need to get new dishes, I was wondering if there is a certain material that I won't have to use an oven mitt to remove a dish from the microwave.
I rent and have noticed this in the past few microwaves that I had, including very high end models. I never noticed this happening years ago and I haven't changed the dishes.
No, dishes and other containers get heated by the hot food which had been heated by the microwave. You still will need to be smart and use an oven mitt or other pot holder when handling any container of heated food or liquid.
Don't know why you didn't notice it before, but in my experience, this has always been the case.
Dishes that get hot in the microwave, are not "microwave safe"...that means that there is some element in the dishes that absorbs microwave energy. Something like metal in the glaze or in the dish itself. Unless, or course, you are cookiung something like rice in them that takes at least 4 or 5 minutes and stays hot so long that it heats the bowl.
Test the dishes for microwave safety by putting a glass container of water and the dish in question in the microwave....heat for 30 seconds or so...or until the water boils and test the temprature of the dish. If it's hot it's absorbing microwave energy.
Linda C
I made the mistake a couple years ago when I decided I wanted a few different inexpensive dishes to change out seasonally just for everyday. Found two patterns I liked at Pier 1 and only needed dinner plates. Only after getting them home and having one crack in the microwave, did I think to look on the bottom of the plate, duh! They were dishwasher safe, but nothing mentioned about microwaves. So, we kept some of the old corelle out, and when we need to heat for more than a few seconds, use the Corelle. In the past, I had some Irish stoneware that also cracked/crazed in a warm oven---so that might happen with other non-microwavable dishes also. (I have also done the water/dish test to see if something was micro safe).
I don't attempt to nuke with dishes in the microwave as they all seem to get hot -- even my Corning/Pyrex which I know is microwave safe.
I have a few plates, dishes and bowls that were designed specifically for the microwave which I use to reheat foods that aren't being heated in their storage containers. I have some clear glass bowls which don't seem to get hot that I use for nuking a lot of stuff -- soups, frozen fruit etc. None of this stuff is particularly attractive so I just think of it as another form of cookware used for the microwave.
I have some mugs of the new Fiesta line which is technically microwave safe and they get very hot so I have always assumed that all china/porcelein etc. will get hot and I haven't attempted to heat on any dish that I actually like and want to keep around for awhile :)
Helene....yes there is/ can be a transfer of heat....but there is also a factor of some dishes absorbing the microwave energy.
If you put a handfull of chips on a plate and top with some grated cheese and stick in the micro long enough to melt the cheese....there should be no transfer of heat to the dish from the food...but some dishes will get hot due to them absorbing the microwave energy.
2 different things....dishes absorbing heat from food that is being cooked in them and dishes absorbing energy from the microwaves themselves because they have metal in them some where.
Linda C
The OP had not changed her idshes, but she had used different microwave units. My old MW noticibly lost power as it got older, and I noted that my newer model got things a lot hotter a lot faster.
My observation was based on her statement that she had not changed dishware.
My suggestion is that you are using your microwave differently....not only for thawing and melting cheese and chocolate but also for real cooking and heating large things.
Corelle is glass and should not absorb any microwave energy...it has to be coming from the food.

HONOLULU (AP) — An international investigation into antiquities looted from India and smuggled into the United States has taken authorities to the Honolulu Museum of Art.
Iran's foreign minister Wednesday told world powers to "seize the moment" and drop "excessive demands" as marathon high-stakes nuclear talks headed into another long bruising night of hard bargaining. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius was returning to the negotiations in Switzerland, joining US Secretary of State John Kerry and their counterparts from Germany and Britain, the French foreign ministry said. "Iran has shown its readiness to engage with dignity and it's time for our negotiating partners to seize the moment," Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters late on a seventh day of talks in Lausanne. It remained unclear however if six world powers and Iran will manage to agree the main contours of a deal curtailing Tehran's nuclear programme in order to make any push to develop atomic weapons virtually impossible.
ATLANTA (AP) — In one of the biggest cheating scandals of its kind in the U.S., 11 former Atlanta public school educators were convicted Wednesday of racketeering for their role in a scheme to inflate students' scores on standardized exams.

The Space
Thank you for inquiring into my newly refurbished 1920's board-formed stucco (very rare in Wisconsin) bungalow in the über popular and chill Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee. I am offering a private upstairs with half bath which features two well-appointed rooms, three skylights/four windows and plenty of vintage 50's (authentic) decorations and furniture. There are a table for four, two chairs, mini fridge, vintage fridge for storage, dresser, closet, farmers sink, tea kettle and a bench for you to place you belongings so you can unwind. The upstairs can accommodate up to 4 people comfortably, please let me know this when you book. There is cable TV downstairs, as well as a shower (I do provide 2 spa-type robes and flip flops), full kitchen, dining room and a couple of couches to lounge in the living room.
If you have never been to Milwaukee, the Bay View neighborhood is one of the best places in the city. There are plenty of locally-owned restaurants, bars (craftbeer-centric, townie and hipster), and funky shops within the neighborhood.
Check out the Guidebook within this listing to see a lot of the attractions within the neighborhood and some of my favorite places within Milwaukee.
If you plan to arrive by car, please be advised that you will need to register you car with city for night parking only (this is true throughout the city). There is plenty of street parking in the neighborhood and there are no time limits (except that the car must be registered at night). You will receive a link to the city to register your car once you book your rental. For stays longer than 3 days, ask about parking on premise.
Guest Access
Guest will have access to all common rooms downstairs: living room, dining room, kitchen, and shower. There is a washer and dryer in the basement.
Interaction with Guests
As much or as little as you want. If you are exploring the city and you have a question, I encourage my guests to text me, although I may not be able to answer immediately depending on my schedule.
The Neighborhood
There are two convenience stores about a block away. Walgreens is about a five minute walk.
Tenuta's (Italian -- including outdoor seating, 2 blocks)
Gyros and American/Custard (two blocks)
Canfora Bakery (two blocks -- one of the highest rated bakeries in the city--makes sandwiches too)
Classic Slice (NY Style Pizza -- one of the best in the city, about 5-6 blocks)
Sven's Cafe (6 blocks, outdoor seating and pet friendly -- tasty and inexpensive)
Also for coffee and light meals, Colectivo Bayview and Antodine are very close as well.
Pastiche (French -- about a five minute walk-25/23/25 Zagat)
On a nice day you can walk to Club Garibaldi (best or second best wings in the city--totally unique) or Palomino (southern).
There are also numerous other restaurants a few more blocks away! Bayview is known for its excellent restaurant scene. There are also a lot of places that will deliver to the house as well. The next neighborhood to the north is Walker's Point/Fifth Ward, which also has a burgeoning fine dining scene.
The house is just five beautiful blocks from Kinnickinnick Ave (aka KK as we locals say). This street is were you will find most or all of the amenities that you will need for your stay. This street is eclectic and vibrant, and most of the business are locally owned. Bayview is unique in that you will find little gems tucked away in the neignborhood as well, such as Palomino and Groppi's.
Outpost: Natural Foods Grocery Chain in MKE, similar to Whole Foods (about 5 blocks away or cut through the park)
Pick and Save as well as the Pig (AKA Piggly Wiggly are both about a mile away)
Groppi's Food Store--small, but inclusive neignborhood market (super cool, about a mile, beautiful walk)
Straight Shots (Northwoods feel/blue collar with a good vibe, 1 block)
The Palm (5 stars on Yelp, voted one of the top 100 beer bars in the country by Draft magazine, known for its eclectic beer and liquor selection, about 5 minute walk). Small, dark, intimate. Highly recommend.
Lee's Luxury Lounge (clean dive bar with pool and skee ball --across the street from Palm)
Roman's and Sugarmaple are both about a mile away (both considered to be two of the best beer bars/taverns in the country by Draft magazine.
There are also many other bars in the neighborhood like the Bubbler, Blackbird, Frank's, Tonic, Cactus Club, Burnhearts, etc.
Downtown attractions
Art Museum, Harley Fest, Summerfest, Polish/Irish/German Fest, about 3.5 miles, take the 15 or Green Line by bus (about a 5 minute walk). If you bike, it is easy to access downtown.
Historic Third Ward (about 3 miles).
5 miles to Marquette University.
8 miles to UWM (green line bus)--a beautiful drive along the lakefront (almost the entire drive)
12 miles to the Medical College of Wisconsin/Froedert.
Bike Rentals (Unfortunately, there are no bike rental facilities in Bayview, despite Bike Shops. You would need to go downtown and rent one). If I am available, I can assist you with the pick up and drop off of one.
Getting around
I live within walking distance to three bus stops (one which will take you to Summerfest/Harley Fest or one of the many festivals this summer, downtown, Historic Third Ward and Fifth Ward, Brady St., and the East Side). The house is also located just a couple of minutes from Interstate 94 and three blocks from Interstate 794, which will take you either to the airport or downtown in just minutes.
I am easy going and enjoy meeting new people. I just ask guest to stay safe and clean up after themselves. Please no high heels or metal/steel tips upstairs. I have refinished soft-wood pine floor that scratch easily. If you need to move furniture, please LIFT the furniture or ask me for assistance.
Feel free to put your food or drinks in the fridge (mini fridge upstairs or larger fridge downstairs) and relax. I do have a spare fridge in the basement, but please let me know if you will need to use this in advance as my basement is quite messy (the rest of the house is not).
Please note: This house is 100 years old, which mean old plumping. Only human waste allowed into the toilets.
Please no loud music in the early morning or late at night. 9 pm - 9 am.
Mike is an exceptionally nice, generous and easy to be with host! We had an entire floor for ourselves and were allowed to use the kitchen and an additional bathroom. The place is clean, very well equipped and was neatly prepared for our stay. Mike recommended so many fun places and had even prepared something to eat when we arrived!
Parking was no problem either and getting downtown by car was quick and easy.
Should you ever get the chance to have Mike as a host, don't miss it!!!
We stayed with Mike for two nights. We couldn't have asked for a more gracious or accommodating host. Mike's upstairs living quarters is perfect for the weekend getaway or longer if needed. Unexpectedly, Mike made us breakfast on our first morning including awesome tacos, fresh coffee, and great conversation. I'd highly recommend staying with Mike as you will not only walk away with a good experience you will probably make a great friend as well. Thanks!
Mike was an exceptional host and his home is lovely. Really unique place that was impeccably clean. He is thoughtful and I felt very comfortable and welcome. I would highly recommend and wish him the best!
Had a great stay at Mike's place! Space is charming, very cozy, great location and his recommendations around the neighborhood were very welcomed. Can't wait to stop back to bayview and explore some more. Mike was so courteous and accommodating as well as in communication right from the start.
Mike was a wonderful host. He's very friendly and was nice enough to cook us a delicious Sunday breakfast. His home is cozy and comfortable. Highly recommended. Thanks so much Mike!
Mike was a wonderful host. He's one of those people who is intuitive enough to know when you want to converse or be alone. Sometimes, on a trip, you want both. The day we arrived, he invited us in with a key to our own door and robes, flip flops, and freedom to enjoy his beautiful home as we liked! We settled in to the clean, elegant, mid-century modern floor upstairs and relaxed for a few hours. Later that evening, when my friend and I were ready to go out, Mike gave us awesome suggestions and engaged us in real conversation. If you're like me, you enjoy human contact and the lost art of banter. Mike was just an all- around cool guy. The next morning, after a perfect night's sleep on the great bed, Mike made a full breakfast! We were truly made to feel at home. I recommend a stay here as a compliment to your visit to Milwaukee. Mike and his home were great!
Mike is a terrific Airbnb host, and his home is absolutely charming. The flat was easy to find, accurately described, and provided for the ideal "home base" during my stay in Milwaukee for the triathlon national championships. Many thanks, Mike, for your hospitality!

Hi, my name is Mike. I just recently completed my M. Arch and am looking for full-time work within the field of architecture. I am well-traveled in Wisconsin, North America and Europe. I'm easy going and love Wisconsin during the summer. Take advantage of all that Milwaukee has to offer and the wonderful neighborhoods.
I love cooking and pinball. A lot.

classic movie with sizzling cast October 13, 2009
Reviewer: bumd11
A Coming of Angels is loosely modeled as a Charlie's Angels type tale. I rate this movie five stars quite against my own judgment. It is flawed and sometimes frustrating, but I find it sexy and exciting in a way all out of proportion to its individual components.
The story line is obscured by the movie's structure: there is a choppy feel; key explicatory scenes are done in flashback, with no warning that that's what is happening. Many scenes are in the dark (as dictated by the script). Viewers accustomed to the technical virtuosity of modern porn will be occasionally frustrated by how much the light and camera angles can obscure the sex (though don't worry; there is plenty of explicit sex). But, I love this movie in spite of itself. It is sexy, erotic, often very dark in tone but leavened by humorous touches. (Poor John Leslie, especially, is left unsatisfied repeatedly throughout the movie to amusing effect.)
And most of all, it features the most stunning cast of beautiful women, especially the three angels played by Annette Haven (has there ever been a more regal beauty in adult movies?), Abigail Clayton, and Leslie Bovee, and two other roles acted by Amber Hunt and Susan McBain. Offhand, I can't think of any lineup that appeals to me more than them. Especially hot is a volcanic all girl scene with the three angels that shows them off beautifully.
I confess to having a fondness for adult films of the 70s and early 80s, back when women had human breasts, not all beavers were bare, and blow jobs were still a sensual experience. If none of that appeals to you, then likely you won't care for A Coming of Angels. Otherwise, treat yourself to a very hot classic film with gorgeous women.

Ohio Slows Down Eastern Michigan in Women's MAC Final
CLEVELAND, OHIO — Kiyanna Black dropped in 25 points and teammates Lexie Baldwin and Mariah Byard chipped in 13 and 12 respectfully as the Ohio University Bobcats find a way to end the Eastern Michigan Eagles run in the Women's MAC Tournament Saturday afternoon at Quicken Loans Arena.
The 60-44 victory gives the Lady Bobcats (27-4) an automatic bid into the Women's NCAA Tournament that starts next week.
The first half was an offensive struggle early as both teams had trouble finding the bottom of the basket. The lead was exchanged quite a few times until it seemed like the Eagles (22-12) had taken control at 23-17 with 2:52 left in the half behind Sweeney's 16 points.
Ohio closed the half on a 8-4 run to narrow the gap with Baldwin leading the way with 10 talleys.
Eastern Michigan led at the half 27-25, but the Lady Bobcats started the second with a 15-4 run in the first 8:07 to gain a 40-31 advantage. Five different players scored during the run for Ohio.
The Eagle kept it close as Sweeney hit a trey and assisted on a Sera Ozelci jumper to make it 40-36.
The Lady Bobcats kept their poise and were able to stretch the advantage to their largest lead of the game at 10 at 53-43 with 4:25 remaining in the game.
Eastern were able to hold Ohio scoreless over the next 2 minutes, but only managed a Sweeney free throw during that time to keep it at 53-44.
Ohio's Yamonie Jenkins drained a trey to give her team the new largest lead at 56-44 with 2:08 left and the defense held the Eagles scoreless over the last 4:15.
The sixth seeded Eagles had scored an average of 78.5 points per game in the first 4 games of the tourney. Sweeney and the rest of the team seemed to be running on fumes at the end of this one after playing 5 games in 6 days.
Bobcat teammates Black, Baldwin, and Byard joined the Eagles' Sweeney and Kristen Sharkey (Buffalo) on the All-Tournament Team, with Black winning the Most Valuable Player.
Central Michigan gets Buffalo'd in MAC Mens Final
CLEVELAND, OHIO — Xavier Ford and Shannon Evans each poured in 18 points and four other teammates hit double figures as the second seeded Buffalo Bulls defeated the top seeded Central Michigan Chippewas 89-84 in the Mens MAC Final at the Q Saturday night.
With the win, Coach Bobby Hurley's team punches their ticket to the Big Dance and waits to see their seeding and opponent Sunday during the annual Selection Show for the NCAA Tournament.
Buffalo started the game with Ford splitting a pair from the charity stripe and hitting a trey for a quick 4-0 lead.
Central's John Simons quickly neutralized that with 2 triples and the Chippewas were briefly had a 6-4 lead.
A Braylon Rayson three pointer gave Central a 24-18 lead at the 9:03 mark as they tried to make a statement and steal the momentum.
But that did not stay that way as Lamonte Bearden dropped in a layup and a free throw to ignite the Bulls run that actually saw them leading 38-32 with 2:40 left in the half.
Fowler and Luke Meyer each scored and then the team traded baskets for a bit before the horn for intermission with Buffalo leading 42-39.
Ford led the Bulls with 11 points at the break, while Justin Moss (the MAC player of the year), still smarting from a twisted ankle from earlier in the week, added 6 boards. Fowler led all scorers with 13 and added 5 assists.
The biggest statistical difference in the first half was Buffalo's 8 offensive rebounds to Central's 3 which led to a 7-1 spread in second chance points.
The second half starts with Fowler hitting a couple of free throws and a Meyer layup to give Central the lead back at 43-42.
Buffalo fought back with a Shannon Evans bomb to give the Bulls a 45-43 lead right back at the 18:14 mark.
Neither team wanted to take control of the momentum at that point. The Bulls got a 3 from Wil Regan and a Moss layup to take a five point advantage only to have Central roar back around the 13 minute area.
The one thing that Central could do was take the lead, they closed it to 1 or 2 points on several occasions, but on possessions with chances to tie or even take the lead, the Chippewas would come up empty.
A couple of free throws by Moss and a 3 from Evans gave the Bulls a 66-60 lead with 7:58 left in the game, the largest lead in a while for Buffalo.
A Ford triple stretched the Bulls' lead to seven at 73-66 with 5:53 left in the game, and another bucket by the senior forward after an offensive rebound kept the gap at 7 a minute later.
The offense was their 13th to 6 for Central still resulting in a 15-3 differential in second chance points.
The two teams traded baskets for a while until a Blake Hibbitts foul on a rebound and Moss connecting on 1 of 2 to make it 80-72 with 2:40 remaining. Jarryn Skeete sank a triple to extended the lead to 83-72.
The Chippewas were not done fighting as a Rayson trey and a steal and a layup by Rayshawn Simmons made it 83-77 at 1:59. A pair of free throws by Rayson made it 83-79 with just over a minute.
Central forced a Bull turnover and had a chance to cut into the lead, but Fowler misfired on a layup and the Chippewas were forced to foul from there.
Buffalo could not hit their free throws and gave Central more chances but they could not capitalize and a fast break dunk by Beardon gave the Bulls a 86-79 lead with 18 ticks on the clock.
Rayson canned another bomb to close the gap to 86-82, but finally Buffalo hit some free throws to close out the game.
The Bulls' Moss finished with 10 points to go along with 11 boards. Central's Fowler finished with 27 points and 9 assists.
Toledo's J.D. Weatherspoon joined Central's Fowler and Simmons along with Central's Evans and Ford on the All-Tournament Team. Ford was named the Most Valuable Player.

I'm using MySQL (nobody's perfect), version 4.1 and I'm used to define some timestamp columns like that:
ALTER TABLE foo ADD creation TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW() ;
I'd like to do exactly the same thing, but for a DATE field. The reason being I don't need a TIMESTAMP precision and since no functional index exists in MySQL, I cannot access quickly to the rows with a given date (regardless of time of day). So I tried the following but it just does not work:
ALTER TABLE foo ADD creation_date DATE DEFAULT CURDATE() ;
ERROR 1067 (42000): Invalid default value for 'creation_date'
Or even
ALTER TABLE foo ADD creation_date DATE DEFAULT DATE(NOW()) ;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(now())' at line 1
Which does not work either.
Any Ideas?
