|Chiarelli: Stuart gives B's 'size, strength, character'
|07.09.10 at 2:08 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins defenseman Mark Stuart was about as humble and agreeable as possible on Friday in accepting his one-year contract extension for next season.
After general manager Peter Chiarelli announced the team had re-signed defenseman, Stuart spoke of wanting to forget about the way the playoffs ended while looking forward to the young, talented core the team is building.
Stuart, 26, is a veteran of 252 NHL regular season games and has 12 goals, 23 assists for 35 points and 261 penalty minutes in those contests. He also has 22 Stanley Cup Playoff games, with two career assists in those 22 games.
The contract is a one-year, $1.675 million pact, a raise from the $1.3 million he made the past two seasons.
Stuart chose against filing for arbitration because negotiations with the Bruins had been encouraging. Stuart said Friday during a conference call with reporters that he's open to playing this one season with the hope of something better down the road.
"I'm very excited about the deal," Stuart said. "I expected after the season that I had if I was going to get a deal it was going to be a one-year deal and then see how I played. Hopefully, I can have a great year this year and then hopefully, yeah, a long-term deal is in the future."
The Bruins now have just over $1 million in cap space, according to CapGeek.com. The team still has yet to reach agreements with first-round pick Tyler Seguin and restricted free agent forwards Blake Wheeler and Gregory Campbell, the latter two of whom filed for arbitration.
Last season, Stuart played in 56 games for the Bruins, with two goals and five assists. He was sidelined for 26 regular season games and eight postseason contests with a broken left pinky finger and a subsequent infection within that finger.
During his 2008-2009 campaign, Stuart set career highs in goals, assists and points as well as tying his career high in games played, with five goals and 12 assists in 82 games.
"He was okay with the one year. To the point of building onto something more, we have more flexibility, too, next year," Chiarelli said. "If you remember before he hurt his hand against LA, he was starting to play more minutes. He was actually coming along pretty good. It's size, strength, character. Now, we've got, between him, Dennis [Seidenberg], Z [Zdeno Chara] and Johnny [Boychuk], we've got some big strong guys."

|Report: B's assistant Ramsay to be Thrashers head coach
|06.24.10 at 6:41 am ET
Craig Ramsay, who was an assistant coach for the Bruins the past three seasons, will be named head coach of the Thrashers, according to ESPN.com. Ramsay, who spent his entire 14-year NHL playing career with the Sabres, also has served as an assistant coach for the Sabres, Panthers, Senators, Flyers and Lightning. He had brief stints as head coach of the Sabres (21 games in 1986-87) and Flyers (25 games in 1999-2000 and 28 games in 2000-01).
|Bruin nemesis Cooke re-ups with Pittsburgh
|06.23.10 at 10:35 am ET
Bruin fans will be hard pressed to forget the questionable, blindsided hit Matt Cooke delivered on Marc Savard on March 6. Replays confirm the maliciousness of the blow, although Cooke was never penalized on the ice and received no fine from the league office. The hit knocked out Savard until the Flyers series in May.
Known for being a pest on the ice, Cooke re-signed with the Penguins Wednesday, a reported three-year, $5.4 million contract. One of the Penguins' top penalty-killers, he had 15 goals and 15 assists last season, to go along with a plus-17 and 183 hits. Cooke, who also has played for Vancouver and Washington, could have become a free agent July 1.
|Top two picks in last 25 NHL drafts
|at 8:28 am ET
On Friday the Bruins will have the second pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, their highest pick since picking Joe Thornton first overall in 1997. There have been rumors about the B's trading the pick for more picks or possibly a star player, but the Bruins have emphatically denied any plans to give it away. With Tyler Seguin and Taylor Hall expected to go 1-2, it will be the biggest 1-2 punch since the Alex Ovechkin-Evgeni Malkin combo of 2004.
The No 1 pick always is the solid, franchise-building player who can score the most, hit the best, skate the fastest or defend the best. He also can also easily wear the 'C' on his sweater within a few years of his debut because he can command respect. In the past, there have been famous No. 1 picks including Guy Lafleur, Denis Potvin, Mario Lemieux, Pierre Turgeon, Mike Modano, Mats Sundin, Eric Lindros, Joe Thornton, Vincent Lacavalier, Rick Nash, Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby and Patrick Kane.
Then, of course, there is the overlooked No. 2 pick in the draft. In many cases, this pick can also be a blessing for a team, just as good as a No. 1 pick, depending on the class. Some of the great No. 2s: Brendan Shanahan, Petr Nedved, Chris Pronger, Patrick Marleau, Dany Heatley, Jason Spezza, the Staal brothers, Evgeni Malkin and James van Riemsdyk.
Here's a list of the past 25 top two picks in the NHL draft.
1. New York Islanders: John Tavares, London (OHL)
2009-present: 82 games, 24 goals, 30 assists, 54 points, 22 PIM, -15 plus/minus
2. Tampa Bay Lightning: Victor Hedman, Modo Ornskoldsvik (Elitserien)
2009-present: 74 games, 4 goals, 16 assists, 30 points, 79 PIM, -3 plus/minus
1. Tampa Bay Lightning: Steven Stamkos, Sarnia (OHL)
2008-present: 161 games, 74 goals, 67 assists, 95 points, 77 PIM, -15 plus/minus
2. Los Angeles Kings: Drew Doughty, Guelph (OHL)

How high can you dry stack a raised garden bed?
How high can you dry stack a raised garden bed and still fill it with soil, without the bricks/stones toppling over?
A skilled stone mason can probably build a dry stacked wall as high as you want it. For all others, I'd say keep it low enough to avoid a safety hazard, dig down and start the wall below grade a bit using the largest stones, and slope it in slightly toward the soil side so it doesn't fall outward.
I'm not a mason, but since no one else piped up...you can probably get a lot of info on the Stone forum.
Thanks for directing us to the Stone forum. We hadn't found that one yet. I also posted this question to the landscape design forum, and there are some good responses, as well as a follow up picture of what we did this past weekend: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/design/msg0417250119248.html.
We did start the stones a bit below grade. We also canted them ever so slightly toward the soil side. This weekend, on the advice of our local, independent garden center, we covered the inside with surface bonding cement. It feels pretty solid, now.

Whats the best commercial nutrient solution to grow tomatos?
I just set up my first hydroponic system today in my backyard and everything worked perfectly so all I need now are some nutrients. Im using a ebb and flow set up with 4" diameter pvc pipe with perlite to retain the moisture. Has anyone ever used ecogrow nutrient solution? I'd be extremly grateful for any advice.
That question Depends on several factors. Do you want to use organic nutrients Only? Do you want a single part or a multi-part nutrient (ie. General Hydroponics three part is an old standard but requires mixing three different nutrient solutions into one reservoir, where as their Flora Nova Series is a one part for Vegetive growth and a seperate for Flowering). Otherwise personally I prefer American Agritechs "Botanicare" products Pure Blend Pro. As for ecogrow I have never used it but it is available at local some hydrostores, you'll have to call around. Hope thatt helped. I tend to ramble.
I have been using stuff from here http://www.hydro-gardens.com/ Vary happy with there product and price.
I've been growing tomatoes for a few years now in an organic only soil garden.I love tomatoes for everyday eating and cooking so I want to get more. I love those Euro-Fresh tomatoes but they are soo expensive. In my research for different nutrients, I keep seeing lots of info on Advanced Nutrients. Anyone ever use them? Good? Bad? Apparently Euro-Fresh uses their nutrients so i'm thinking there must be something to them....yes? no? Can anyone help with some advice before I buy?
I've used EcoGrow. I bought the dry stuff (Grow formula) to use in my first DWC system. It worked fine for me and seemed reasonably pH stable. Honestly, not a bad little nutrient.
I didn't use the Bloom formula as I was just growing lettuce, collards, and spinach.
So I don't know about the Bloom, but the Grow isn't bad. I wouldn't consider it a good long-term thing, but if you've already got some it's worth using. I'd either go with the stuff Chuck recommends, or something fancier like a premium nutrient you can find at a hydroponics shop. At some point I'm wanting to do a side-by-side with something like Advanced Nutrient's three part nutrient or the Sensi 2-part.
I'd have to say that AN makes the best nutrients for tomatoes. Their stuff is ideal for acid-loving plants like that. I'd go with either their Sensi 2-part or their 3-part, Grow Micro & Bloom.
If you want to go organic it's hard to beat their Iguana Juice.
i've been using the dyna-gro products.
I havent tried tomatoes yet, but these nuts are working wonderfully on my cayenne peppers and sunflower. I used their dyna-gro for about 1 1/2 months then switched to their dyna-bloom which showed remarkable results the moment i switched.
I've been using the Flora Series from GH (General Hydroponics) and have had great luck with my tomatoes. You can see some of my pics on my website but overall they have been working for me. I also have used the products from FutureGarden (liquid earth) but only on my lettuce rafts and other smaller herbs. I've had great results from both
I think it depends on price, 3 part - 2 part, and how your plants do. I don't mind the 3 part mixing, it's fairly simple.
There's definitely plenty of options, so it's pretty easy to find something that fits both your needs and budget. I have a hell of a time trying to decide between Sensi 2 part and AN Grow, Micro, and Bloom because I just like them both for different reasons.
Last time I had to decide I literally flipped a coin.
I can offer a good opinion on three part nutrients. I recently tried out the Grow Micro Bloom that Advanced Nutrients makes and it was easily the best stuff I've ever used.
I wasn't growing tomatoes with it, but I've got some seeds germinating (hopefully) for indoor winter tomatoes that I pla to grow with that 3 part nutrient and I don't expect any trouble. I'll probably get a Cal/Mag supplement for them shortly, since tomatoes never seem to get enough of those.
That's my 2 cents worth - that Advanced Nutrients stuff that hooked is talking about definitely works well for me.
Hey hooked on ponics, I gotta agree with you about Advanced Nutrients. I think they're probably the best nutrients in the world for growing hydroponic tomatoes.
I guess not everyone wants to necessarily have the worlds best when it comes to hydroponic nutrients but I definitely appreciate the edge it gives my garden.
My family gets really competitive in our gardening - we show up to family gatherings with fresh vegetables try to out-do each other in size, quality and so on. So I can say without a doubt that adding Advanced Nutrients to my hydroponics garden has made a world's difference in being able to bring the best produce to the table.
I know that the question was about "the best COMMERCIAL nutrients" for tomatos, yet here are data from the University of Florida, which I have used to create this graphic. They show nutrient requirements for tomato in NFT and dripping systems. The upper denomination is in French language, but the original was seedling to 1st cluster, second cluster, etc. Von 3D- 24/06/09
As for the simplified NPK data I added myself , as in 7-5-12 (+4), it is only approximately what is shown above.
So, any commercial nutrient that comes close to these- respectively enables you to mix your nutrients according to these values, is just fine. As for the fellas who are composing their own nutrients, it's possible to weather exactly use these data, or simplify them into less mixes, let's say 3 stages.
Please note that tomatoes generally need less N than peppers or other plants of the night shade family. It's frequently said that peppers and Tomatoes have the same- or similar nutritional requirements, but this is only true for bell peppers and huge annuum species. Tomatoes need lots of sulfur and especially calcium. Always consider a lack of calcium with your tap water and (or worse in combination with) the lack of calcium in most 1 component nutrients (compatibility of calcium nitrate).
Not sure if Jean-Luc is still active in this forum ;-)
Anyway: I don't know about US conventions, but in other parts of the world it always stands for the Mg part as in Magnesium +4 means 4% or 40 ppm. But what Jean-Luc didn't mention here was that his NPK data is expressed in elemental NPK instead of conventional NPK. And this could in fact be misunderstood.
Transferred to conventional NPK as we know it and how it is used for most fertilizer or even nutrient formulations, the "conventional" NPK would actually express as follows:
What's interesting here, is the unchanged Phosphorus content in all formulas.
PS: Attention, if Magnesium content is expressed in Mg0 (oxide form) it has to be transferred as well: Mg = MgO x 0.60
I am also planning to grow my own garden tomato soon and been checking on what quality nutrients I can use for it...AN's 3 part nutrients seems to be a good choice since there are indeed a lot of good reviews about it. You may want to try it with your tomatoes, too. Best of luck!

I've read so many solutions this problem. every one of them fails to solve my problem. no matter what container I put the control into or what properties I set on the control/container it will not budge. I have a scroll viewer with a control within. I want it to resize with the window when the user resizes it at runtime. all I need is anchor=top, bottom, left, right. I don't understand why this is so elusive in WPF and why container objects and all kinds of property assignments need to be involved to accomplish what a single property can in Forms. but every solution to this problem still results in my control staying at exactly its design time size as the window is resized at runtime. what's the simple way to get a grip on dynamic control sizing in wpf?
This has caused me grief as well and AlexK helped me see the light. The trick is NOT to set the Height and Width.... Set these to
The control needs to stretch, that's all there should be to it:
For help on panels see this overview. Also see the documentation of the layout system.
Most controls automatically stretch, if you have a DataGrid it should stretch too, try this sample in Kaxaml, it contains a DataGrid and a TextBlock which shows its size:
If you size the window down the DataGrid's ScrollBars should appear.
This question is old but, since I found my here I thought I would throw out my solution. The code below is for a tab control with two tabs and each tab contains a control to fill the tab. I removed the explicitly set width and height, and set the horizontal and vertical alignments to auto on all the controls I wanted to resize. The tab control stretches wit the main window. The controls in the tabs stretch to fill the tabs. The information came from the answers here. I just put up a complete example.
Hope this is useful to someone.
I assume the control that does not resize is your custom control.
If you work in VS2008, then this causes inconvenience, because you control would collapse to the minimal size when viewed in the designer.
Expressions Blend and starting from VS2010 both respect designer namespace, so you can specify design time only control size.
For that add the following to your control:
d:DesignWidth and d:DesignHeight specify the design time width and height.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Elijah Harper changed my world
WESTBANK, B.C. — When Elijah Harper passed away on May 17, 2013 I felt as though an arrow had pierced my heart. The man who inspired me to become what I am today was dead.
As a boy, I loved to read the news. I had a paper route and therefore a daily supply of current events and happenings. Day after day I looked at the pictures and skimmed the articles of the comings and goings of non-aboriginal society. But etched forever in my memory is the day I picked up my bundle of newspapers and saw a native man holding an eagle feather.
In the late 1980s and early '90s it was not okay to be native/aboriginal/Indian and there was no such thing as "First Nations". You certainly didn't let anyone know you were aboriginal if you could avoid it, at least not in the city. But here was a man, on the front page, with long hair and an eagle feather under the headline "Elijah says no to Meech".
I read that article, and every article after it. Over the coming days, I would flip through the pages looking for any information I could find on Elijah. Who was he? Where did he come from? Why was he allowed to be an "Indian" in front of all the "whites"? What was "Meech"?
I learned that Elijah Harper was the first treaty Indian elected to the Manitoba legislature. He came from a northern Manitoba First Nation (just like me) and attended an Indian Residential School (like my family members) and was proud of his First Nations culture and heritage. I learned that the Meech Lake Accord was to be an amendment to the Canadian Constitution that, while recognizing the rights of French Canadians in Quebec, eroded the inherent treaty rights of Native Canadians. Elijah Harper said "no" to the accord and effectively blocked it. He proved to me, as a 12-year-old boy, that one man could make a difference. One man could change the world.
I will never forget the day I met Elijah, the man who would become my life-long hero. My mother woke me up one morning saying "Get up, we are going to see Elijah." On the way in, there was a man selling t-shirts that had all kinds of slogans. My mom asked me if I wanted one. As I put on my brand new blue t-shirt that said "Elijah Says No!" I marvelled at the huge crowd of native people carrying signs, eagle feathers and smiles on their faces. The drums boomed, the crowd sang loud and we all lined up to honour Elijah.
As I got closer and closer to the stage my heart was pounding and soon it was my turn to honour him. All I had to do was shake his hand and keep moving, but I froze. Elijah reached over, pulled my new t-shirt straight and read the slogan aloud. He laughed, I blushed, and he put his hand on my head and ruffled my hair. It seemed in that moment that he had blessed me. I felt acknowledged, accepted and finally, a member of the First Nations people.
From that day forward I was proud of who I am. I studied hard, set goals and planned for the future. I became an activist, joined aboriginal youth groups and defended our inherent treaty rights with my voice and intellect. Ten years later, I was invited to speak at an aboriginal youth conference in Red Sucker Lake, Manitoba. I was grown up now, out living the dream. Elijah was there and heard me speak. He invited me to his brother Saul's house and we talked about education, history and, of course, politics. It was my dream come true. When it was time to go, he said "Good luck. We need more young people like you."
I ran into him from time to time over the years at conferences, events, rallies and greeted him as a friend and mentor. As First Nations mourn the loss of one of our greatest leaders and heroes, we are slowly able to look to the future.
In my childhood, there was only one Elijah Harper. Today, because he inspired an entire generation of First Nations youth, there are thousands of us. Thousands of aboriginal doctors, lawyers, accountants, authors, politicians and entrepreneurs who now know a simple truth: One person can change the world.

Hedge funds redeemed about $5.2 billion in December 2011 and underperformed the S&P 500 for the year, according to the latest report from BarclayHedge and TrimTabs Investment Research.
Industry assets hit their lowest level since February 2010, losing 7.7% to $1.64 trillion.
"The Barclay Hedge Index fell 0.4% in December after decreasing 1.4% in November," says Sol Waksman, founder and president of BarclayHedge. "From May 2011 onward, hedge fund performance was negative in every month except October."
"Hedge funds underperformed the S&P 500 last year, falling 5.5% compared to a flat return for the S&P 500," says Leon Mirochnik, an analyst at TrimTabs. In December, only three of 14 major hedge fund categories tracked by TrimTabs and BarclayHedge—equity market neutral, merger arbitrage and fixed income—showed positive returns.
A survey of 108 hedge fund managers in the third week of January found 45.4% of them bullish on U.S. equities, up from 42% in December, 2011. This constitutes the second-highest reading since December 2010.
That said, the picture painted by the latest TrimTabs Demand Index, which monitors 21 key sentiment indicators to time U.S. equities, is less rosy: "The Demand Index is down more than 50% since the beginning of January, which stands as a warning to bullish market participants," said Mirochnik. The index signaled a strong bullish stance in late November, just before the markets surged. "This sudden reversal in January is cause for caution," said Mirochnik.
The TrimTabs/BarclayHedge database tracks hedge fund flows on a monthly basis.

her website shows her as the doctor but when you go in for procedure, she marks your belly and then she is not even in the room to make sure the assistant does it correctly. 900 dollars and she does not even hook it up to the patient. i saw no results. 900 dollars. she was also very rude and defensive when i expressed my disappointment. she even called to say she was sorry for getting angry with me.Updated on 11 Jun 2012:She advertises that she does the coolsculpting procedure and she actually is not in the room. I saw no difference after spending 900 dollars.She also got very defensive when I questioned these things and she was very rude. She is taking money for people and not even doing the procedure herself and producing no results. Horrible!!

Drywall, Green Board, Backerboard... What to do?
i didn't see this exact topic anywhere when searching:
My bathroom has old ceramic tile one top of green board which was on top of dry wall. The tile grout deteriorated and the green board got all damaged.
Remove BOTH the green board and drywall? Then start w/ fresh backerboard right on the stud? Or do I leave the drywall on?
I was wanting to take it all down and go straight backerboard. But I obviously am a novice.
There are several ways to do a shower or tub wall. Essentially, you need to tear it down to the studs. Typically, on the older style shower walls, you staple tarpaper or plastic sheeting, then install a cement board and tile away.
Newer systems allow you to use cement board OR drywall right to the studs and coat the board with something like Schluter's "Kerdi" or Laticrete's "Hydroban."
"Surface Applied" waterproofing is better, as the water NEVER penetrates past the barrier. It is recommended that this be applied over the mud-bed floor. In this way, you only need to set ONE mudbed. With the former, you need to set a "preslope, install a vinyl liner on top and attached over the curb and nail it to the studs, higher than 6" before putting in the cement board. Now, you need to put in a second mudbed upon which to set your tile.
I suggest you go to the Schluter website and look at the "Shower Install" videos. It is far superior, in my opinion. It'll cost you a couple of hundred bucks, but you save the time of a vinyl liner and two mudbeds.
Hope this helps.
Is this area a wet area (shower) or just the dry portions of the bathroom? As TileTech describes, there are several proper methods/materials for tile in wet areas. (For example, drywall or green board are not appropriate without water proofing over top for wet areas.) Personally, if there was any water damage below the tile, then I would strip everything down to the studs and make certain it's done right from the ground up.
"The tile grout deteriorated and the green board got all damaged. "
Grout is only 'water proof' to the extent that water does not damage it.
Like ANY cement product it wicks water very nicely, right through to whatever is behind the tile.
Cement board is the same, thus the need for a barrier.
I do not hold long term faith in filed applied sealing, no matter how 'new' it is.
The listing agencies are going to do a perfect job for testing.
Will every person using the product do as well?
FWIW, we use cement board (Hardibacker) for all three bathrooms; shower surround in one, tub surrounds in two. DH then coated the Hardibacker with Hydroban (three coats). He rolled it on, much like paint. A thick, yucky-green colored paint. It's not cheap stuff, but well-worth the cost.
DH removed everything down to the studs, and then attached the Hardibacker directly to the studs.
Thanks folks! As these things go, your responses uncovered other personal blind spots (i.e. waterproofing the Hardibacker). I was pretty sure I should pull it down to studs, but wanted to make sure I was missing anything.
Yes, the work is being done to tile the tub surround area. I was trying to decide if I'd get a fiberglass bath tub/shower enclosure or just go tile.
We also have to replace some floorboards and maybe even remove the tub to see if there is water damage under there. A small bubbled up area on the ceiling below makes us think we need to dig in.

I am trying to figure out the best workflow for working with a fork of an existing opensource project in Github. I want to take an existing project and make significant changes to it, in this case to port it to android and add specific android only functionality. I would like to satisfy the following:
- Be able to pull changes from their public repo to the new android port as the original code is updated.
- Be able to sumbit changes (via pull requests) to the orginal project when I fix bugs that aren't just applicable to the android port.
- Have a seperate renamed version of the project to make it clear that it is a Android port. I looked at renaming a fork and Github gave me huge warnings about doing this.
My initial thoughts are I would fork the original project then fork and rename my fork to give me the following repos:
This would allow me to work on my local repo local/projectA-android push changes to nicstrong/projectA-android. Then to update from the orginal project I could rebase nicstrong/projectA to the latest from original-author/projectA then fetch/merge from nicstrong/projectA to local/projectA-android.
My questions are:
- I am quite new to the whole Git thing. Does this seem like a good approach? Or is there a better workflow for handling this scenerio?
- How would I handle pushing from projectA-android back to nicstrong/projectA so I can setup pull request for the original project?

Robert Irwin's always making artistic progress
Irwin, who grew up and went to art school in Los Angeles, is one of the progenitors of the Light and Space School, which has come to be seen as a pivotal development in post-1945 art. For this and other work, he was recognized with a MacArthur "genius grant" in 1984.
He decided to make San Diego his home in 1987, residing first in Point Loma and a few years later, moving to the Carmel Valley area, where he lives with his wife, Adele, and his daughter, Anna Grace.
Davies has been one of Irwin's most ardent champions for decades and in one big way set the scene for Irwin's current explosion of work.
"Hugh insisted on giving me a studio," says Irwin. In fact, Davies included a studio for him in the original plans for the Jacobs Building downtown, which opened in January 2007.
"I kept telling him I don't need and don't want it. But in short order I inherited a studio, against my better judgment. And I met Joey, who was the head of the guards and he became my assistant."
The 31-year-old Joey Huppert, who worked as both a supervisor in security and an installer of exhibitions, is also an artist. He had read all of Irwin's writings and could liberally quote them, much to Irwin's amazement.
"I think he might have been the first person who had read all of them. We started having remarkable discussions and then I asked him to come work for me," Irwin says. "He's become indispensable."
But why a show at Quint and why now?
"I've always liked Mark (Quint) and admired him for surviving for so many years in a tough environment for galleries. And I really needed some walls where I could look at the work."
There is so much work he has wanted to install, it turns out, that those who saw the show when it first went on view will see a different exhibition now. Irwin may change some or all of them one more time before the show, aptly titled "Works in Progress," ends on May 1. He seems to have an inexhaustible number of permutations he wants to try out.
The tubes themselves are 4, 6 and 8 feet in length. They are arranged vertically in combinations of three up to 33. Some are colored with a gel generally used in theatrical settings; there is a spectrum from lead gray to brown to greens and blues. On some tubes, he's employed masking tape to create the effect of stripes or lines on their surfaces. Shadows and colors created on the walls are part of their effect, too. And each of these works have multiple states, created by switching tubes on and off.
The use of gels on fluorescent lights was a facet of Irwin's great two-part exhibition at the Dia Art Foundation's old space in New York's Chelsea district back in 1998, an installation that may get a second life at the Dia's current space in Beacon, N.Y. (Irwin designed that space, in collaboration with the architectural firm OpenOffice.) In part, it was a new piece using configurations of tubes in the 2007 show at the MCASD, "Light and Space," that triggered the current wave of work.

Unfortunately, the 3 inch bbl makes it just about worthless. However, I am a decent guy- I can send you enough money to cover the shipping costs if you want to send it to me for disposal.
You DO realize today is April 1?
Seriously, the value of a collectible firearm is whatever some idiot is willing to pay. THAT amount is driven by exact make, model, condition, and originality. In short, there are SO few of some guns sold that there is no way to establish a true value, other than to offer it for sale, or to try to match it up to a similar firearm in similar condition.
And condition drives a LARGE part of value for collectibles. Would urge you to do NOTHING to the gun other than wipedown with light gun oil or CLP and a soft cloth.
An appraisal can give you what the appraiser thinks it is worth. Only a sale would tell you the true value. Old maxim- "The value of an item is what the item will bring on the market."
In the meantime, congrats on having a very nice bit of history!
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Dose any one know of we're I could sell this ??? Plus I have an Original box of shells !!!
Wow....I'd like to know what that's worth.
Suggest you contact Dan Kull email@example.com Dan took over Old Town Station from Jum Supica, they specialize in auctions of antique and collectible firearms. He's out in Topeka. Jim is now the Director of the National Firearms Museum.
Thank u my friend

Like many music lovers of a certain age, I have a lot of warm memories tied up with release days. I miss the simple ritual of making time to buy a record. I also miss listening to something special for the first time and imagining, against reason, the rest of the world holed up in their respective bedrooms, having the same experience. Before last Wednesday, I can't remember the last time I had that feeling. I also can't remember the last time I woke up voluntarily at 6 a.m. either, but like hundreds of thousands of other people around the world, there I was, sat at my computer, headphones on, groggy, but awake, and hitting play.
Such a return to communal exchange isn't something you'd expect to be orchestrated by a band who's wrung beauty from alienation for more than a decade. But if the past few weeks have taught us anything, it's that Radiohead revel, above all else, in playing against type. It's written in their discography; excluding the conjoined twins that were Kid A and Amnesiac, each of their albums constitutes a heroic effort to debunk those that came before it. Although 2003's Hail to the Thief was overlong and scattershot, it was important insofar as it represented the full band's full-circle digestion and synthesis of the sounds and methods they first toyed with on OK Computer. So, after a decade of progression, where do we go from here?
If the 2006 live renditions of their new material were anything to go by, not much further. With few exceptions, the roughly 15 songs introduced during last year's tour gave the impression that after five searching records, Radiohead had grown tired of trying to outrun themselves. Taken as a whole, the guitar-centric compositions offered a portrait of a band who, whether subconsciously or not, looked conciliatory for the first time in its career. Although a wonderful surprise, their early October album announcement only lent further credence to the theory. Where they'd previously had the confidence to precede albums like OK Computer and Kid A with marketing fanfare worthy of a classic-in-making, this sneak attack felt like a canny strategy to prepare fans for an inevitable downshift.
The brilliant In Rainbows represents no such thing. Nonetheless, it's a very different kind of Radiohead record. Liberated from their self-imposed pressure to innovate, they sound-- for the first time in ages-- user-friendly; the glacial distance that characterized their previous records melted away by dollops of reverb, strings, and melody. From the inclusion and faithful rendering of longtime fan favorite "Nude" to the classic pop string accents on "Faust Arp" to the uncharacteristically relaxed "House of Cards", Radiohead's sudden willingness to embrace their capacity for uncomplicated beauty might be In Rainbows' most distinguishing quality, and one of the primary reasons it's an improvement on Hail to the Thief.
Now that singer Thom Yorke has kickstarted a solo career-- providing a separate venue for the solo electronic material he used to shoehorn onto Radiohead albums-- Radiohead also sound like a full band again. Opener "15 Step"'s mulched-up drum intro represents the album's only dip into Kid A-style electronics; from the moment Jonny Greenwood's zestful guitar line takes over about 40 seconds in, In Rainbows becomes resolutely a five-man show. (For all of Yorke's lonely experimental pieces, it's easy to forget how remarkably the band play off each other; the rhythm section of Phil Selway and Colin Greenwood are especially incredible, supplying between them for a goldmine of one-off fills, accents, and runs over the course of the record.) A cut-up in the spirit of "Airbag"-- albeit with a jazzier, more fluid guitar line-- "15 Step" gives way to "Bodysnatchers", which, like much of In Rainbows, eschews verse/chorus/verse structure in favor of a gradual build. Structured around a sludgy riff, it skronks along noisily until about the two-minute mark, when the band veers left with a sudden acoustic interlude. By now, Radiohead are experts at tearing into the fabric of their own songs for added effect, and In Rainbows is awash in those moments.
The band's big-hearted resurrection of "Nude" follows. The subject of fervent speculation for more than a decade, its keening melodies and immutable prettiness had left it languishing behind Kid A's front door. Despite seeming ambivalent about the song even after resurrecting it for last year's tour, this album version finds Yorke wrenching as much sweetness out of it as he possibly can, in turn giving us our first indication that he's in generous spirits. Another fan favorite, "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" brandishes new drums behind its drain-circling arpeggios, but sounds every bit as massive in crescendoing as its live renditions suggested it might. "All I Need", meanwhile, concludes the album's first side by dressing up what begins as a skeletal rhythm section in cavernous swaths of glockenspiel, synths, pianos, and white noise.
With its fingerpicked acoustic guitars and syrupy strings, "Faust Arp" begs comparisons to some of the Beatles' sweetest two-minute interludes, while the stunning "Reckoner" takes care of any lingering doubt about Radiohead's softer frame of mind: Once a violent rocker worthy of its title, this version finds Yorke's slinky, elongated falsetto backed by frosty, clanging percussion and a meandering guitar line, onto which the band pile a chorus of backing harmonies, pianos, and-- again-- swooping strings. It may not be the most immediate track on the album, but over the course of several listens, it reveals itself to be among the most woozily beautiful things the band has ever recorded.
With its lethargic, chipped-at guitar chords, "House of Cards" is a slow, R.E.M.-shaped ballad pulled under by waves of reverbed feedback. While it's arguably the one weak link in the album's chain, it provides a perfect lead-in to the spry guitar workout of "Jigsaw Falling Into Place". Like "Bodysnatchers" and "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" before it, "Jigsaw" begins briskly and builds into a breakneck conclusion, this time with Yorke upshifting from low to high register to supply a breathless closing rant.
Finally, the closer. Another fan favorite, Yorke's solo versions of "Videotape" suggested another "Pyramid Song" in the making. Given the spirit of In Rainbows, you'd be forgiven for assuming its studio counterpart might comprise some sort of epic finale, but to the disappointment of fans, it wasn't to be. Instead, we get a circling piano coda and a bassline that seems to promise a climax that never comes. "This is one for the good days/ And I have it all here on red, blue, green," Yorke sings. It's an affecting sentiment that conjures up images of the lead singer, now a father of two, home filming his kids. A rickety drum beat and shuddering percussions work against the melody, trying clumsily to throw it off, but Yorke sings against it: "You are my center when I spin away/ Out of control on videotape."
As the real life drums give way to a barely distinguishable electronic counterpart, Yorke trails off, his piano gently uncoils, and the song ends with a whimper. The whole thing is an extended metaphor, of course, and, this being Radiohead, it's heavy-handed in its way, but it's also a fitting close to such a human album. In the end, that which we feared came true: In Rainbows represents the sound of Radiohead coming back to earth. Luckily, as it turns out, that's nothing to be afraid of at all.

WASHINGTON - The Georgetown softball team (16-13, 6-0 BIG EAST) hosts St. John's (15-17, 1-4 BIG EAST) in the first BIG EAST home series for the Hoyas of the 2014 season. The two squads will play a doubleheader on Sat., April 5 and a single game on Sun., April 6. Play at Guy Mason Field in Washington, D.C. begins at noon ET on both days.
On Tuesday, Georgetown played Cornell in a midweek doubleheader. The Hoyas came into the games with an eight-game winning streak and extended it to nine games with a 7-1 victory over the Big Red in game one. GU junior starting pitcher Lauren O'Leary (7-6, La Canada, Calif./La Canada) threw a complete game effort in the win where she struck out six and only allowed four hits. Georgetown dropped game two of the doubleheader by a final of 6-0, snapping the Hoyas program-best nine-game winning streak. The previous streak of eight games was set last season.
Georgetown is also off to a program-best 6-0 start in BIG EAST play. As a team, the Hoyas are batting .283 in their six conference games.
While leading GU in most offensive categories, junior Megan Hyson (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) also ranks in the top among all conference players. In addition to five BIG EAST awards, the junior's .402 batting average is the top for players who have at least 25 at-bats on the season. In her 87 at-bats, she has 35 hits, which is good for third in the BIG EAST. Hyson is tied for third in the conference with 22 runs batted in and second in doubles with nine. Coming in to the weekend series, Hyson owns a 13-game hitting streak, the longest for the team all season.
In the circle, Hyson's 115 strikeouts rank fourth among all conference pitchers and her 2.04 earned run average is third for pitchers who have thrown 40.0 or more innings.
Senior Elyse Graziano (Floral Park, N.Y./Sacred Heart Academy) is another Hoya on the conference leaderboard. Graziano is tied for first in the BIG EAST with 12 steals in her 14 attempts. With 20 runs she ranks third and only trails the leader by five. Her two triples are tied for first with two other players. Graziano's .302 batting average ranks second on Georgetown and her .383 on-base percentage is third behind senior Alexandria Anttila (Antioch, Ill./Antioch Community).
Among all BIG EAST schools, Georgetown ranks second with 38 doubles and four triples. On the season, GU has drawn 106 walks, which leads all conference teams.
The Hoyas maintain a 5-3 all-time series lead over the St. John's Red Storm. Georgetown won the 2013 series, 2-1, on the road in New York. Two of the three games last year were decided by two runs.
SJU's Jackie Reed leads St. John's in batting average (.391) and on-base percentage (.472). She ranks second in doubles (6), home runs (6), walks (13), total bases (62) and slugging percentage (.674). Reed is 7-for-14 in her team's five BIG EAST games.
Reed and teammate Erin Burner have combined to hit 15 of the team's 17 home runs and have compiled 38.4 percent of the Red Storm's RBI total.
St. John's 17 homes run ranks one ahead of the Hoyas who are at 16. Georgetown's home run total is spread among seven different players.
SJU's Tori Free (6-11) owns a 4.79 earned run average in her 19 starts and 21 total appearances for SJU. She has started four of the team's five conference matchups this season.
The three-game series starts on Sat., April 5 with the first game of the doubleheader at noon. Sunday's single-game matchup also starts at noon. Live stats will be available for all three games. All games will be played at Guy Mason Field in Washington, D.C.

Anyone see a pantry like this one?
I really like the way this corner pantry uses the space...
not the use of clear glass though. See any problems with this?
My pantry's not nearly as pretty (or well organized!) as that, but functionally I have something very similar. Ours is a "corner" pantry that is 5' wide and 27' deep, with 12'' shelves along the long wall and 14'' shelves along one short wall. It's sort of a "step in" as opposed to a walk-in. I love it. In fact, it's one of the few things I love about our current kitchen (which is an original 1964 kitchen that received a minor paint-hardware-appliances face lift back in the 1980s). It's very easy to organize and find things. My one gripe is that the shelves are too close together so that tall items like cereal boxes don't fit -- but this was made back in `1964, when cereal boxes were smaller, I guess.
Do those shelves go straight across and 24" deep, or are they on both sides like sharschols? I have a 24" deep pantry w/ fixed shelves, and must tell you that I really strongly dislike it -- stuff disappears forever. I can't see anything in the back; on one shelf, I have risers so that I can see the stuff in the back, but they don't help much. I still have to reach past all the stuff in the front, and just end up knocking things over, etc.
Instead of keeping food in the back (because it *never* got eaten), last year I decided to keep infrequently-used serving dishes in the back,... and now they're never-used. Might as well keep nothing back there...or maybe our family valuables, since they'd be so well hidden. ;-)
It is a beautiful pantry and a lovely, airy kitchen (I love those pendants!), but I'd only vote yes for that pantry if it was somewhere around 14-15" inches deep.
But -- looking closely at the picture, it doesn't seem to be filled with food. Most of the stuff in it looks white. Looks to me more like a china cabinet.
Wonder what that coppery-looking countertop is, next to that pantry? That's pretty.
Sharschlos -- I think I'd like your pantry much better!
A pantry with a similar design was in the scullery kitchen plan (before I decided to nix the scullery). The lure is its beauty and unique design. It had glass doors on both sides with access from the scullery and the prep area. A primary reason I changed the plan is the inaccessible counter-depth space at the back. I could not figure out what to put back there that was worth removing half of the pantry contents to use.
The doors open up to both sides - duh, right? The doors block the closest landing areas. I don't think that's a show stopper, just a consideration.
It depends on how many people get stuff from the pantry and how often that's done and what's next to the pantry on both sides. If the pantry is the only dry food storage, that exact kitchen arrangement would drive me bonkers and I'd take the doors off on the second day. (sigh) I visit the dry food storage a lot while I'm making stuff.
So trivial example, I take sugar in my coffee. Coffee on counter behind open door, sugar container on counter behind open door - so step back, open door, get sugar, close door, step forward, fill sugar, step back, open door, etc.
Cilantro...looks the same to me, wrap arounds about 12-15, which I think woud be great.
Bmore...I see your concerns. We are close to being empty nesters, so we don't have too much action in the kitchen anymore like when all the kids were home! My coffee set-up will be elsewhere, my spices, oils etc will be next to cooktop. Most papergoods are in another understair closet or laundry room. So it will be food pantry and small appliance. I love the way it looks so I am hoping to make it work. Adjustable solid shelves, 15" deep, auto light, anything else? Thanks!
I see Bmore's point, but it looks great, and for a lot of purposes would work great. It is a smart use of a corner for those who have the need and have a corner available...Much better than the regular corner cabinets I don't like, and maybe better than the framed in corner pantries, especially in tighter situations or where it doesn't fit stylewise. In other words, I can see that it may not work for everyone, but for some it could be a WONderful answer. And, I have to say again, it's great looking!
I am not an open shelves or glass door person, typically, but I have seen glass doors on pantry storage that I love. It helps to have the mullions as a bit of a visual barrier, and that the contents aren't usually right up to the glass with the shelves set back...So it just looks colorful and homey.
Thanks rhome, I currently have a 30 cab pantry that opens with two doors
and 12 deep horseshoe style shelving. This would be similar except I would
have 24 inches more space inside to the left where I could keep seldom used
small appliances, etc. I'm excited to have found it and look forward to
working it into my plan.
I can't see what the rest of you are seeing at all. To me, it looks like the left side of the pantry cabinet stops flush with the cabinets on the stove wall and doesn't go into the corner at all. I don't see a wrap-around. I'm considering a pantry cabinet in that corner too and was wondering if I should use roll-outs to avoid the problems that scootermom mentioned.
If you look closely at the picture, it looks like the shelves are not as deep as the pantry itself and that there is a short shelf on the short side closest to the range. I agree that a pantry with full depth stationary shelves would be just awful. Been there; done that. I would be tempted to saw off about 10-12 inches of those darned shelves rather than shuffle through 2 feet of mess. However, a reach-in pantry with 10-12" shelves along the long wall, and 14-16" shelves along one short wall is truly a wonderful thing. One thing I would like even better than my current set up would be to have a "cantry" on the other short wall with shelves at 3-4" deep -- just deep enough for spices, cans, oils, and the like. Since I adhere to the principal of laziness, I much prefer the narrow shelves of my reach-in pantry so I can just reach in, see exactly what's there and grab it, to pull outs where I still have to go searching through drawers to find what I need. The other bonus: tall pantry cabinets and pantry pull outs are more $$$ than a pantry closet with narrow shelves. If you don't go for the glass doors (REALLY? Mullioned doors on a PANTRY? Some people must have way too much time on their hands if they can spend all their time keeping that looking pretty), I think it would be fantastic.
I'm stuck at work and don't have access to the photos of my pantry, but I'll try to post them tomorrow if I have time. But no comments about the general messiness -- my pantry doesn't have glass doors for a reason. (And keep in mind that my kitchen is a major BEFORE.) :)
I'm really following your thought process carefully on the pantry concept sarchlos. If I decide to put a pantry closet in the kitchen of the home we're remodeling and leave my laundry room a laundry room; the space would be exactly 5'L x2'D. I'd have the choice of pullouts or what you suggest. My current kitchen has a 24"Wx24" deep pantry with stationary shelves. I hate it so much I put a cheap metal open shelving unit in the adjacent laundry room. Even though it's all open I still find myself searching for what I want.
Our current pantry is 3'X2', but the shelves inside are narrow, except for the short 2' wall on one end, which has 16'' deep shelves. I love this set up (and like I said, the only thing I would change would be to add "cantry" narrow 3-4'' shelves on the other 2' wall; well, that and add about 2' to the entire space, which is why we removed the water heater from the kitchen earlier this year).
I agree that stationary shelves 2' deep are a BAD idea. Pullouts 2' deep don't seem to me to be much better, since the pullouts don't eliminate the searching and digging through 2' of stuff to find what you need.
The real key to the 5'X2' pantry is to stick it in a corner so that there is room for deeper shelf storage on one end of the pantry where you can fit your big Costco type stuff (cereal boxes, soda flats, snack packs, 10 lbs of chips, 5 lb can of beef-o-reeno, 6 pack of pianos, etc.). :)
It might work out perfect then because the location is in a corner, a 5'x2' section of wall and then a doorway. Love the notion of a "cantry". That' my biggest pet peeve. Searching for the can of black beans.... where are the diced tomatos. If I leave my laundry room a laundry room, I'll still have shelving for bulk storage of paper towel/toilet paper to keep my pantry food products. I'm going to clip this so I can remember (brain sometimes short circuits) how to approach this.
My pantry looks a bit like that, but is behind the range wall, so a few more steps. The costco/non-built-in beverage fridge shares floor space with a rolling basket storage (wire) and my favorite can storage unit from shelfreliance.com (it was in Costco a few years ago). It solves the can problem without having to have shallow shelves. I had a shelf unit built to nestle into the remaining space and put pullouts in parts of it. I'm not losing stuff, and it holds a ton, including large items, and costco bulk.
I have mullioned doors on 3 pocket doors in our kitchen...with clear glass even. Granted, they're not closed and exposed all the time, but you don't have 8 kids either, vicnsb, so maybe it comes out even? ;-) You could also get obscured glass which would go a long way toward hiding fingerprints, dust, etc.
I think your shelving plan sounds great (horseshoe with deeper on the one side). It's especially good if it's like something you have that you know works for you. It'll be additionally nice to be able to fit in those small appliances that never seem to have a good home.
Mine is similar, but it butts up to a doorway, not a cabinet/counter. The top shelf is 9" deep, the 2nd & 3rd are 12" deep, the 4th 18", and the bottom 12". On the left side the top shelf is 9" deep and the rest are all 12". On the right all shelves are 8" deep.
Claybabe and Natal, those are fantastic pantry spaces. If I would've seen pantries like yours or like the one Vicnsb found, I probably would've designed my kitchen much differently! I almost didn't have any pantry, but I probably could have fit one like yours in...I thought any cabinet depth pantry would have to be a 'pantry cabinet,' which don't work for me. I just didn't realize how much you could do with the seemingly little space. In fact, I wish I could now add about 3 such places in my house...For linens, and for puzzles and games. :-)
vicnsb-or anyone,
Any decision on the pantry? I have gone back to the concept although it is in a different layout than the scullery plan. I would love to know how you like it and the dimensions. Mine would be 60 x 26, between the cooktop on the long side and the prep sink on the short side.
Thanks ;-)
