Table Mountain and partying in Wellington
The Wednesday of this week was yet ANOTHER public holiday, as the government gives the entire country the day off to vote during election day. We decided after hiking Lions Head and enjoying it so much it was time to up the ante and hike table mountain. Except before doing that, Siebert and I decided to take advantage of not having work on the Wednesday and go out for another big night beforehand. Big mistake.
I woke up with possibly one of the worst hangovers I ...

My final week of working at the Bosman Vineyards arrived and I have now had to say goodbye to the Boland area of the Western Cape.
The week began with the last trip to the De Bos farm in Hermanus taking sugar readings and bunch weights, and this was much quicker due to a large amount of the grapes being harvested. It was interesting to be able to compare the start of harvest to the end, seeing how ...

The title of this blog means 'experiencing the South African culture' which I have definitely done this week. The longer I am here the more I learn about the country's history and people as well as seeing how different everyday life is compared to home. Time has gone extremely quickly, I can't believe I am over half way through my placement already. I have to say I am getting used to the weather a bit more now, 30 degrees feels a nice temperature, anything in the 20's ...

These cupcakes are fun to serve for a children's or adult Halloween party.
Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups into 24 muffin pan cups; set aside.
Combine sugar and 1/4 cup butter in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Add eggs; continue beating until creamy. Add sour cream, milk and vanilla. Continue beating until well mixed. Add all remaining cupcake ingredients; beat at low speed until well mixed.
Fill prepared muffin cups with about 2 tablespoons batter. Bake 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.
Combine powdered sugar and 1/4 cup butter in bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often and gradually adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency.
Melt chocolate chips and shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes or until smooth. Place melted chocolate in small heavy-duty resealable plastic food bag; snip tip from one corner to make very small hole.
Frost 6 cupcakes, using about 1 tablespoon frosting for each cupcake. Immediately pipe 3 concentric circles of melted chocolate onto each frosted cupcake. Starting at center, draw toothpick 5 or 6 times through chocolate circles to outside edge of frosting to make spider web design. Repeat with remaining cupcakes and frosting. Let stand until chocolate is firm.

Mint isn't a traditional Irish flavor, but the color of the green mint mousse in this tart lends itself so well to St. Patrick's Day celebrations, I had to tie them together somehow! The Mint White Chocolate Tart takes a little bit of effort to make with its multiple steps, but the end result is fluffy, subtly sweet and has a perfect hint of mint.

Eggs Benedict, like this Cheesy Eggs Benedict, is the quintessential brunch dish, but it sure can be challenging to serve to a crowd with so many last-minute elements – toasting English muffins, poaching eggs and making hollandaise sauce. Of course, it can be made easier by toasting all the muffins on a sheet in the oven, and by poaching your eggs the day before your brunch. More ...

If you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends.
I love summer dresses and red lipstick, but I'm not quite a girly-girl, per-say. I still like beer and meat, sports, and getting dirty. Typically, in my spare time, I'm with close friends and family hanging out at the park, watching/playing sports, going to concerts, going to trivia night, bar-hopping, or just hanging out relaxing. I find humor in everything and I'm always laughing with friends. A huge passion of mine is music. Listening to vinyl is pretty magical, and I'm always down to go to a show to see a local musician or one of my favorite artists. I worked at a radio station in college, so I've found an appreciation for a variety of music. Overall, I'm looking to meet someone where we can enjoy our time together. Whether, it's a night out exploring all the amazing things this City has to offer or spending a night in lounging in our pajamas and watching a few movies.

Lovely hotel.
Helpful staff with reasonable English (Sadly I don't speak more than a few words of German). The Rooms are nice and the previous art-gallery nature of the hotel makes it a very pleasant place to stay.
The WiFi system is reasonably good. They charge 10 Euros to use the hottub / sauna. Breakfast ok but nothing special.

I have been working at MVP Health Care full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
The people at MVP are really great, and while many people say that - in this case it's true. The company continues to offer an excellent benefits package, including a ton of PTO time, holidays, 37.5 hour work week, and health insurance. New leadership over the past 1-2 years has moved the company in a new direction, and if you can embrace change as a team player there is great opportunity. I am personally very satisfied, and have had good opportunity.Cons
The company has changed a lot since the Affordable Care Act passed, and the company has had to change staffing levels to stay competitive.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Dr. Todd Sodano, Assistant Professor of Communication/Journalism, was one of 20 faculty fellows chosen from colleges and universities across the country for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Faculty Seminar.
The seminar took place in Los Angeles, and offered faculty opportunities to see how television entertainment works behind-the-scenes. The faculty fellows were chosen by a selection committee.
The five-day seminar included lively group discussions, presentations, and interactions with major studios, production companies, major television networks and their top production and programming professionals.
Sodano said the seminar was "an incredible look into the current—and future—state of television."
During the seminar, the group toured Stargate Studios, the visual effects hub for shows including The Walking Dead, Parenthood, and Pan Am. They also visited the Warner Bros. lot and toured the sets of popular shows such as Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, and Conan.

x The average starting price for a place to stay in Prague is £46 per night.
NKammerer The best hostel I have ever stayed in, by far. I paid for a 12-bed suite but the suite was divided into smaller rooms, so there were only 3 beds in my room. The staff is incredibly friendly, and single travelers are welcomed into the group immediately. I'm not a huge partier, and it's not necessary to be one to enjoy the Madhouse. It's quiet enough to get a good night's sleep, but there is an event on every single night, and all are encouraged to participate. The kitchen is fantastic - incredibly well equipped, and the "family dinners" were a highlight of my stay. Centrally located and easily accessible by tram or metro. The only downside is that the kitchen opens at 9am. So if you want an early start, you'll have to plan on breakfast elsewhere.
naganoogie I had an ensuite doubleroom for a week. And it's been one of the nicest hostel I've been in terms of cost and facilities. Besides the usual amenities, the doubleroom, which is clean and modern also includes a barfridge, a little kitchenette (though without any cooking utensils nor cutleries) and a small balcony. Staffs were friendly and helpful, with good knowledge about the wheres and whats of Pragie. Public transports (both tram and metro) were easily within reach from the hostel, and close to both Old and New Towns of Prague.
jonas.boon Our stay in the Art Hole Hostel was really epic! This was the best Hostel we´ve ever been: very nice people, good service and the guy there (a kind englishman named Luke) told us about a lot of good places to go and even sent us to a beautiful town nearby. Art Hole rocks!
jenniesue This hostel is fairly small and is located on the 2nd floor. The rooms were large and clean. Bathrooms and showers were down the hall and both were very clean. There is a common room with TV and kitchen facilities, as well as one computer with free internet access. The location is a couple of blocks from the metro stop/streetcar and a large grocery store. It is an easy walk in the old town/city center and to Wenceslas Square. I did notice that there are other hostels that are more convenient to the tourist areas of town, but overall this hostel was quite comfortable and I would stay here again.

Peyton Manning hopes Super Bowl appearance leads to endorsements
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Peyton Manning has announced that he is thrilled to be one step closer to his ultimate goal for this football season: Getting more commercial endorsements. Manning also hopes to sign better endorsement deals that ones he already has with Reebok, Sprint, Direct TV, ESPN, Sony, Mastercard, Kraft, Target, Nabisco, Gatorade, DirecTV, HH Gregg, Applebees, T-Mobile, Coca-Cola, Office Depot, Cheerios, XBox, Toyota, Microsoft, Special K, V8, Best Buy, and Oreos."
"The Super Bowl is a fantastic opportunity to market the Peyton Manning brand," said the Colts quarterback. "In fact, if the team hadn't made it, I probably would have paid to run my own Super Bowl commercial to advertise myself as a great candidates to do commercials."
Despite expert predictions, Manning insists that he will be playing in the game against the Saints. "I thought about sitting out, to rest up and save myself for the long endorsement season," he explained. "But I think it is important for me to keep up my level of intensity so I'm prepared for the hard grind of the make-up chair and memorizing whole sentences."
"I'm so proud of my team and the way they've played this year," said Manning. "We all managed to stay focused on what we wanted to achieve: Getting me more endorsement gigs.

A Spy Among Us
While the Justice Department presses Microsoft Corp. on antitrust charges here at home, the German government is hitting the software giant for being a "back door" to National Security Agency snoops wanting to read German secrets.
The German government has announced it will no longer use Microsoft software in computers storing or handling sensitive government and military documents, according to the German magazine Der Spiegel. The German government reportedly suspects that NSA has access to Microsoft source codes, enabling its agents to hack German computer systems.
"It's our stance that it's inappropriate for us to comment on this," an NSA spokeswoman said. Shucks but we're not at all surprised.
W Signs Off
President Bush sent his last e-mail last week, telling 42 "dear friends" and relatives that he had to sign off. "My lawyers tell me all correspondence by e-mail is subject to open record requests. Since I do not want my private conversations looked at by those out to embarrass, the only course of action is not to correspond in cyberspace. This saddens me."
Somebody should tell the president's lawyers that although criminal or congressional investigators can subpoena any document, including e-mail messages or notes of a meeting, no one can go on a fishing expedition seeking everything. As to whether e-mails will be included in his presidential papers, that's entirely his choice.
We guess the whole world is gun-shy in the wake of Clinton-Lewinsky. Bill Clinton never sent e-mails during his presidency, but e-mails from Monica to him formed part of the evidence gathered by prosecutor Kenneth Starr.
Flyzik's Council Shift
Federal CIO Council member James Flyzik made it official March 21 at the FOSE trade show: He's stepping down as vice chairman of the council.
It may be a long goodbye. Flyzik, whose day job is CIO at the Treasury Department, promised to stay on as vice chairman until President Bush names a deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget. The deputy director will become chairman of the council. So far Bush has offered no nominee, and according to senior federal officials, there isn't even a reliable short list of candidates. Once relieved of his vice chairman's mantle, Flyzik is expected to become one of three co-chairmen of the CIO Council's e-government committee.
Plain and simple
Seems like the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is taking the former Clinton administration's plain-English mandate to heart. In its recent solicitation for PCs and laptops, USPTO laid out a list of definitions for terms used in the document. Among them: "DOA" yes, dead on arrival for products that don't work when received, and "lemon" for those items that don't work after several attempts to fix them. It doesn't get much clearer than that.
Meanwhile, Alan Kessler, chief operating officer of Palm Inc., is coining some new phrases for the next chapter in the IT revolution. There's "m-gov" for mobile government and "e-wallet" for using handheld devices instead of credit cards to pay your bills. Any others out there, folks?

Smart Money
The Carnage Beneath The Bullish StampedeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/08/2014 17:16 -0400
Risk is no longer priced into anything. Volatility has gone to sleep. Uniformity of thought has taken over the stock market. Complacency has reached a point where even central banks have begun to worry about it: the idea that markets can only go up – once entrenched, which it is – leads to financial instability because no one is prepared when that theory suddenly snaps. But all this bullishness, this complacency is only skin deep. Beneath the layer of the largest stocks, volatility has taken over ruthlessly, the market is in turmoil, people are dumping stocks wholesale, and dreams and hopes are drowning in red ink.

The Average Russell 2000 Stock Is Down 22% From Its HighsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/03/2014 14:49 -0400
It's hard to "fully commit" to this rally given "corroded internals," warns FBN Securities technical analyst JC O'Hara in note. As we previously noted, new highs are extremely negatively divergent from the index strength, as are smarket money flows, but what has O'Hara "very disturbed" is the fact that the average Russell 2000 stock is over 22% below its 52-week highs. As O'Hara notes, investors are ignoring "technical signals that have historically forewarned" of a drop; they're "jumping onto a plane where only one of the two engines is working. The plane does not necessarily have to crash but the risk of an accident is much higher when the plane is not firing on all cylinders."

Gold Vulnerable To Manipulative Sell Off In June - Bargain Hunters Ready And WaitingSubmitted by GoldCore on 06/01/2014 10:48 -0400
June is seasonally a poor month for gold and technical damage means gold could be manipulated lower again before half year end ... As one astute commentator said on Twitter this week, being able to acquire cheaper gold given the state of the world today is "like being given discounts on life-rafts on the Titanic ... "

Groupthink 101: What All Goldman Sachs Clients Believe Will HappenSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/31/2014 10:26 -0400
At the beginning of the year, all - as in all - of the smart money expected a rising yield environment and a recovering economy. They were all wrong. Oddly enough, they still believe pretty much the same, using seasonal scapegoats to explain away their mistakes. As for what the most selective subset of the smart money believes, here is Goldman's David Kostin with the summary: "Almost all clients have the same outlook: 3% economic growth, rising earnings, rising bond yields, and a rising equity market." Goldman's own view doesn't stray much: "Our S&P 500 targets of 1900/2100/2200 for end-2014/2015/2016 are slightly more conservative but generally in line with consensus views." And of course, when everyone expects the same, the opposite happens... even if this is one of those financial cliches we wrote about yesterday.

Climbing A Wall Of ClichesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2014 15:01 -0400
If clichés reflect overly common (if therefore unappreciated) wisdom, then we finally have a good explanation for why risk assets continue to rally. No, there are actually not "More buyers than sellers" – money flows are negative over the last month for both U.S. equity mutual funds and ETFs. And forget about investors "Downgrading on valuation" as stocks climb higher and higher; truth be told, that's not even really a thing (unless you work on the sell side). Nope, this is a "Flight to quality", "don't fight the Fed", "never short a dull market" environment with "easy comps" from a long rough winter. Want to call a top somewhere around here? Remember that "Markets discount events 6 months in the future." A "Santa Claus rally" in June? That would fit the one cliché we know is actually the market's True North: it will do exactly what hurts the most "Smart" investors. And that would be to rally further as the doomsayers double down and the timid cling to their bonds and cash.

Bond Bears Are Scratching Their Heads While Looking At These ChartsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/27/2014 13:54 -0400
Large speculators (read - hedge funds or the supposed "smart money") have shifted their S&P 500 positioning to net short, increased their Russell 2000 short positioning and decreased their NASDAQ longs to one-year lows. Market-neutral funds have dropped exposure notably in the last week and long/short funds are well below market norms for their long positioning. But what has the bond bears really scratching their heads (as they added to their shorts in the last week) is that the last time so many people were convinced that rates can only go higher (based on CFTC data), bad things happened in stocks.

Are Stocks Cheap?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/11/2014 11:47 -0400
As if the question actually needs to be asked, we thought the following 3 charts would provide at least some defense against the constant barrage of "healthy rotation" bullshit currently being used to maintain assets-under-management as professionals unwind their levered longs into a newly-willing retail public. As Gavekal notes, the following chart show that the median stock is trading at valuation levels only seen at the previous stock market highs of 2007 and 2000.

"All Is Not Well In The Housing Market" As All Cash Buyers Double In Past Year, Hit Record HighSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/08/2014 10:56 -0400
Confirming and continuing a trend we first described a year ago, overnight RealtyTrac reported, as part of its Q1 institutional investor and cash sales report, that the percentage of all-cash buyers has soared in the past year with "42.7% of all U.S. residential property sales in the first quarter were all-cash purchases, up from 37.8% in the previous quarter and up from 19.1% in the first quarter of 2013 to the highest level since RealtyTrac began tracking all-cash purchases in the first quarter of 2011."

The Complete Ira Sohn Conference Post-MortemSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/05/2014 17:59 -0400
From 110 slides of Ackman-inspired Fannie Mae bullishness to Tudor-Jones "Central Bank Viagra", and from Jim Grant's "Buy Gazprom because it's the worst-managed company in the world" to Jeff Gundlach's housing recovery bearishness and "never seeing 1.5 million home starts ever again"... there was a little here for every bull, dick, and harry at the Ira Sohn conference. Perhaps noted behavioral psychologist said its best though: "be careful about the quality of advice you get."

If you turn the knob up it simulates the mic being moved farther away from the cab, turn all the way down moves the mic closer to the cab. The first should sound farther away or roomier the later should sound closer or louder.

Seattle First Hill medical building sale nets owner big payday
- Marc Stiles
- Staff Writer- Puget Sound Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
A Seattle company, HAL Real Estate Investments, got a big payday Tuesday when it sold the 7th & Madison medical building on Seattle's First Hill.
Public records show that HAL sold the fully leased building for $100 million. HAL bought 7th & Madison in 2010 for nearly $31 million two years ago, and made significant improvements to the property.
The buyer is a limited partnership whose Atlanta address is the same as Prudential Real Estate Investors.
Opus Northwest developed 7th & Madison, finishing in 2009. But Opus never found anyone to rent the 205,000 square feet of space. US Bank, the project lender, took the building back through a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
When HAL bought the building in 2010, it had the Polyclinic lined up as a tenant. The lease was contingent upon the city issuing permits to convert the office space to medical use.
Seventh & Madison is the latest office building to sell in the Puget Sound region. Investors are eager to buy here because the area, home to growing tech companies, is considered one of the best office markets. Some owners are happy to sell because the capital gains tax is set to increase from 15 percent to 20 percent at the end of the year.

text: Benefits DC Plan Focus Is Evolving By Rebecca Moore firstname.lastname@example.com | October 22, 2012 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article October 22, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – The goals and designs of defined contribution (DC) plans are evolving as defined benefit (DB) plans are increasingly replaced. According to Diversified's "Report on Retirement Plans 2012: Bridge to Your Retirement Success," while having a high participation rate is still viewed as the best indicator of plan success, its significance is falling. In 2012, 52% of plan sponsors believe participation rate is the best indicator of plan success–down from 58% in 2011. During this same period of time, the number of plan sponsors selecting average deferral rate as the best indicator of plan success climbed from 14% in 2011 to 20% in 2012. Nearly all large corporate plan sponsors (95%) offer a fixed or discretionary employer contribution. Among those who offer a fixed contribution, 84% use a matching formula. The two most common matching formulas are dollar-for-dollar on the first 5% to 6% of pay (20% of plans use this formula, up from 11% in 2011), and fifty cents on the dollar on the first 6% of pay (17% of plans use this formula, up from 15% in 2011). More than half of all large corporate 401(k) plans (53%) offer financial advice and an additional 33% are considering adding this to their plan's offering. The use of automatic enrollment and automatic deferral increases is also growing. Forty-five percent of large corporate 401(k) plans sponsors have implemented automatic enrollment and 40% are considering implementing this feature. Automatic deferral increases have been implemented by 30% of plan sponsors, and an additional 43% are considering adding this feature in the future. However, among plans taking advantage of automatic enrollment, 58% enroll participants at a default deferral rate of 3% or less–far lower than the 6.7% average deferral rate for self-enrolled participants. The percentage of employees at large corporations participating in their employers' 401(k) plans remains unchanged since 2011 at 69%; and the average deferral rate dropped sharply from 8.8% in 2011 to 6.7% in 2012. With deferral rates falling, 56% of plan sponsors report that motivating employees to save adequately is "extremely" or "very" challenging, which surpassed keeping up with regulatory challenges (52%), helping participants invest wisely (43%) and meeting fiduciary responsibilities (38%).

Current Vesta build I'm working on
Ok, I bought the 3 pack and I find this ships roll really hard to place. Its a "jack-of-all-trades, master of none" ship. Low hull to be a cruiser/tank, not enough weapon and turn rate to be an effective Escort/DPS and as a science vessel it has the least hull, high turn rate, but neft hanger bay (WTH). The consoles are where its at and the fact it can use DHC. The splitting power between Aux and Weapons really doesn't work so I decided to go straight up Weapons power. First off the main weapons on the ship, both the Aux DHC and the continues BEAM OF DEATH are phaser and aux power based so that presented me with some interesting things to take into account. Here is my Current build and somethings I am still working out, FYI insane spike dmg.
Multi-Mission Reconnaissance Explorer: Aventine Class (Tac version)
Science Captain, Puur
Fore Weapons:
Fleet Advanced Phaser DHC (CritD), Fleet Advanced Phaser DBB (Acc), Wide Quantum Launcher
Aft Weapons:
x3 Fleet Advanced Turrets (Acc)
Deflector, Shields and Engines: Borg MK XI
Engineer Console: Quantum Field Focus Controller, Assimilated Console
Science Consoles: Multidimensional Wave-Function Analysis Module, Sympathetic Fermion Transceiver and x2 Field Generators MK XI (blue)
Tactical Consoles: x4 Phaser Relay MK XI (blue)
Hanger: Advanced Danube Runabouts (booo tractor nerf!)
Universal Lt. Cmdr.: Tac Team 1, HY2, Rapid Fire2
Universal Ensign: Emergency Power to Aux
Engineer Lt.: Engi Team 1, Revers Shield Polarity
Tactical Lt.: Spread 1, Scatter Volley 1
Science Cmdr.: Hazard 1, TTS2, Particle Burst, Gravity Well 3
Regarding somethings I've been changing out include RCS, Armor Console, Particle Generator and EPS. The Hanger has such a long CD that I find Runabouts last the longest, smaller fighters just die (considering Deltas). Also I decided to drop the Aux DHC because frankly I'm running guns hot and since I can't get other weapons that draw from Aux when ever I'm not facing my target I'm not doing any damage and if weapons get knocked offline, the Aux DHC also don't work.
I'm also trying to decide where to put APB or if I should go with APO. Switch Scatter Volley out with APB or move Rapid Fire there and use APO (turn rate and buff to all Dmg).
Now here is the icing on the cake, this thing does massive damage out the gate:
EPtoAux, Sensor Scan, Subnuc, TT1, Grav Well 3, Rapid Fire 2, HY2, Target Subsys Shields and then the PHASER BEAM OF DEATH right out the gate against the most massive ship and its gone.
EDIT: Ok, went with Universal Lt.Cmdr. Tac Team 1, HY2, APO1 and Tactical Lt. Spread 1, Rapid 1. Pure awesomeness!

John is right. people love to chase magic bullets,and the reason is simple. as soon as they can claim that they didn't have the exact same materials and equipment it explains to them why their images aren't as perfect as the master they were trying to imitate.of course this is nonsense, but it has kept resellers in business for decades.the truth is much harsher. today's equipment and materials are better than they have ever been in photographic history. we have no excuse;we need to try harder.BTW,john did it; his images are unique and beautiful while having his very own style. I bet, he could tell us his current equipment and material choices and, we still could not duplicate his style ; I know, I could n't; sowhat's different?only the man behibd the camera; that's where the magic is; not in the camera bag. as they say:The magic is in the wizard not in the wand.
all the best keep working at it. success will eventually come, and then people will ask you what camera and film you are using. the best feature of your camera are the 6 inches behind the viewfinder.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Jan. 17, 1956 R. l.. CALLARD LAMP ASSEMBLY Filed Sept. 10
INIENTOR. /offr Golm/ep BY Z Z ATTORNEY.
Robert L. Caiiard, Painted Post, N. Y., assignor to Corning Glass Works, Corning, N. Y., a corperation of New 'iferit Application September 10, 1951, Seriai No. 245,797
2 ciaims. (ci. 24e-s1) The present invention relates to lamp assemblies of the torchere type and is particularly concerned with the provision of improved facilities for dependably securing the glass shade of such an assembly to the remainder thereof.
In one form of such assembly in general use the glass shade or bowl rests on the rim of the horn or husk attached to the upper end of the lamp standard and housing the lamp socket. The shade or bowl is held in place on the horn rim by an outwardly flanged tubular member, the tubular portion of which passes through an aperture in the center of the shade and surrounds and engages the lamp socket. The flange of such tubular member has an axially oi-set annular peripheral portion for engagement with the top surface of the portion of the shade immediately surrounding the aperture therethrough and an adjoining cylindrical portion of the approximate diameter of the shade aperture which serves to approximately center the shade with respect to the horn.
Economical methods of glass lamp-shade manufacture require that considerable tolerance be permitted in the shade aperture diameter. For this reason there is usually considerable clearance between the aperture wall and the cylindrical portion of the tubular member flange. As a consequence, in transfer of the lamp assembly from one location to another, lateral movement of the shade to various off-center positions is likely to occur. Such movements, moreover, tend to promote axial movement of the tubular member and to thus reduce the holding action of its flange on the shade.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved tubular member which is designed to substantially eliminate the disadvantages of the above-described arrangement. 1n accordance with the invention, I provide a torchere shade preferably having a downwardly depending lip surrounding its central aperture and a tubular member having a ange provided with means for firmly engaging such lip and thereby tightly clamping the shade to the flange after the shade has been properly centered with respect to the tubular member so that, when the shade with such member clamped thereto is brought to rest on the horn rim with the tubular member in frictional engagement with the lamp socket, an assembly is obtained wherein lateral shifting of the shade with respect to the other parts of the assembly and any resulting further loosening movements are positively prevented.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing is a side elevation, partly in section, of a lamp assembly embodying the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the anged tubular member of such assembly.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the lamp assembly comprises the usual vertical standard 11 mounted on a base 12 and provided at its upper end with a suitable lamp socket 13. Surrounding such lamp socket and fastened to standard 11 Yis a horn or husk 14, which is adapted not only to provide a decorative cover for such socket, but also to provide support for the centrally apertured glass shade or bowl 15. Shade 15 is centered with respect to horn 14 by the tubular member 16, which is provided at one end with a iiange 17 having a cylindrical portion 18 adapted to occupy the shade aperture and a peripheral nited States Patent Q F 2,731,547' Patented Jan. 17, 1956 annular portion 19 off-set with respect to the remainder of the ilange. At its other end tubular member 16 has a number of resiliently shaped ears or tabs 21 adapted to fxictionally engage the lamp socket 13.
in accordance with my invention, liange 17 is provided with a plurality of tabs 20 which are adapted to be crimped against the portion of the shade l5 bordering its aperture and thus to clamp the shade firmly to the flange. Advantageously, glass shade 15 is provided with a bead or lip 15 surrounding its aperture so that the tabs 20 can be crimped about such bead as shown in Fig. 1 and thus tightly clamp the shade in place with respect to flange 17.
The diameter of cylindrical portion 1S of the flange 17 is made as close to that of the aperture in shade 15 as manufacturing tolerances permit, and peripheral annular portion 19 is axially o-set a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the beaded portion of the shade surrounding the aperture therein. Annular portion 19 thus serves to seat the shade with respect to tubular member 16. Tabs 20 are desirably formed integrally with ilange 17 by being cut out therefrom.
With the present arrangement, as will be readily apparent, there can then be no relative movement between the shade 15 and tubular member 16, so that the shade remains permanently centered with respect to the lamp assembly, and any tendency of the lamp shade to become loose in this regard during service is thereby eliminated. The present construction, moreover, is far more sturdy than any prior shade-holding arrangement of this type, not only in appearance, but above all in actual use.
What is claimed is:
l. In combination with a lamp standard equipped with a lamp socket and a shade support surrounding such socket, a lamp shade resting on said support and having an aperture therethrough and a bead surrounding said aperture, and a tubular member having at one end tabs tensioned for resilient frictional engagement of said socket and having at the other end an outwardly extending llange, the peripheral annular portion of said flange being axially olf-set with respect to the remainder thereof a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the bead on the shade and comprising a seat engageable by that portion of the shade immediately bordering its aperture, and tabs integral with the ange and crimped about the bead to tightly clamp the shade to the ange.
2. In a lamp xture assembly, a base, a standard upstanding from said base, a horn xed to and extending upwardly and outwardly from the upper end of said standard, a lamp shade resting on said horn and having a circular aperture therethrough with its axis in Vertical alignment with the axis of said standard, said shade having a bead integral therewith bordering said aperture, a lamp socket carried by said standard and arranged within said horn cavity, and a device for holding said shade in seating relation with respect to said horn, said device comprising a tubular member surrounding said socket and having at one end tabs for resilient frictional engagement thereof, said member at its other end having a flange that extends to the shade aperture border thence through the aperture and further laterally outward to provide a shade hold-down seat, and tabs integral with the ange and crimped about the bead to nx the shade with respect to said member.

Mississippi's first gay mayoral candidate, 34, 'was beaten and burned' before his body was found dumped on a riverbank
- Marco McMillian, 34, was found dead by the Mississippi River on Tuesday
- The Democrat candidate vying to become mayor of Clarksdale would have been the first openly gay mayor in Mississippi
- Lawrence Reed, 22, has been charged with murdering the political star
- Reed crashed McMillian's SUV at the time his body was discovered
Murdered: A congressman has called for an FBI probe into the death of mayoral candidate Marco McMillian (pictured) in Mississippi
An openly gay Mississippi mayoral candidate whose body was found dumped on a riverbank last week was beaten and burned, his family has said.
Marco McMillian's godfather, Carter Womack, said on Monday that the information came from the Coahoma County coroner, but the coroner declined to comment.
Womack said the family was told McMillian's body was dragged under a fence and left near a Mississippi River levee last week. It was discovered on Tuesday.
A person with knowledge of the investigation told the Associated Press that McMillian had bruises and there were burns on at least part of his body.
On Thursday, Lawrence Reed, 22, was taken into custody and charged with the murder of McMillian, the state's first openly gay candidate for public office. He was running for mayor of Clarksdale.
The relationship between the two men is unclear but Reed was allegedly driving McMillian's SUV when it was involved in a head-on crash just before the candidate's body was discovered.
According to the pressregister.com, Reed, an associate at the Motor Club of America, was injured in the crash and provided police with the location of McMillian's body.
Collision: His SUV was involved in a head-on collision on Tuesday morning when Lawrence Reed was driving
Charged: Lawrence Reed, pictured left and right, has been charged with the murder of Marco McMillian
Authorities had been looking for McMillian who was reported missing after the early morning crash.
Coahoma County Coroner Scotty Meredith confirmed the body belonged to McMillian, a dedicated Democrat who was running to become mayor of Clarksdale.
supporters and residents paid tribute to the politician as a dedicated
community activist and a legitimate candidate for office.
'We remember Marco as a bold and passionate public servant, whose faith informed every aspect of his life,' his campaign manager, Jarod Keith, said in a statement. 'Tragically, that life has been cut short.'
Political ambitions: Marco McMillian was running as a democrat candidate for mayor of Clarksdale. Supporters said the politician, pictured right with President Obama, could have gone all the way
The sheriff's office said deputies responded to the two-car crash on U.S. Highway 49 South near the Coahoma and Tallahatchie county lines at about 8 a.m.
Promising: Colleagues said McMillian, 34, was 'President of the United States material'
McMillian was hoping to win the office being vacated by Mayor Henry Espy Jr., the brother of Mike Espy, a former congressman and U.S. Agriculture Secretary.
Henry Espy decided not to seek re-election after more than
two decades in office.
Fans and friends of McMillian, whose
Facebook account features a picture of him alongside President Obama, paid tribute to him last week.
Dennis Thomas, 33, who works at Abe's Barbeque, said: 'There's
a lot of people upset about it. Why would somebody want to do something
like that to somebody of that caliber?
'He was a highly respected person in town. He's been in the community helping out a lot.'
Norman Van Collins Sr took to Facebook to say the party had lost a future star.
'I am definitely praying for the family as well as sharing their grief,' he said.
'Marco was like a son to me, and I so looked forward to his campaign and his ultimately becoming the next mayor of my hometown Clarksdale which so desperately needs leadership such that of Marco. He was definitely POTUS potential.'
The Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund and Institute said there 'hearts go out to the family and friends of Marco McMillian'.
Hopeful: Mr McMillian was running for mayor of Clarksdale after years as a dedicated community activist
Tragic: It's unclear whether Reed knew the candidate, pictured
McMillian was CEO of MWM & Associates, described on its website as a consulting firm for non-profit organizations. He had recently served as international executive director of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc.
Jimmy Hammock, the fraternity's international president, praised McMillian in a Facebook post for making 'an incredible difference in his community and in Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity'.
A statement
from the historically black fraternity said he had secured the first
federal contract to 'raise the awareness of the adverse impact of
HIV/AIDS on communities of color for the Fraternity'.
It noted that Ebony Magazine had recognized him in 2004 as one of the nation's '30 up-and-coming African Americans' under age 30.

bmxn5620 new blue max electric 7 ton log splitter
i bought one of these after using a lever operated splitter for years.the hand on pusher never went close to the wedge so when the electric one didn't i didn't know there was anything wrong.when a friend showed me his 2 gas operated ones i found out my ram shuld go to wedge it doesn't it stops 7 inches short of the wedge. the company that sold it to me CPO OUTLET won't replace it and wants me to drive 6 hours round trip to get it fixed.i am handy to fix it myself but i have no idea what to change to fix it.any help would be appreciated
1. Have you checked to know you have enough hydraulic oil in the reservoir?
2. Are others getting the full travel and the MFG admit yours should also?
3. If they will not tell you the needed adjustment or fix, is it because of liability?
4. Please post pics or links of side and top views that might show adjustments for the wedge etc.
5. I agree that it needs to pusher closer to the wedge on matted wood as pecan in my case.

I'm a newbie here.
I'm container growing my veggies for the first time. Someone gave me alot of free nursery cloth. I have that on the ground with my veggie pots (3 gallon and larger) on top of it. My summer squash and tomatoes are wilting from the heat. I want to use the cloth, but what can I do to help my poor babies survive? We just had our first 90+ day. TIA!
Fabricate some sort of canopy to suspend that shade cloth over your plants to provide some sun relief. Having the cloth underneath the pots is bass-ackwards of what you need. You could also put them in a spot where they don't get hammered by strong, afternoon sun.
Summer squash and tomatoes should not be wilting just because of above 90 temps... there's something else going on.
Container size: 3 gallons is just too small for tomatoes. 5 gallons is the minimum, and I generally use 20 gallon tubs.
Transplant shock: did you just transplant them? They should be in partial shade until they establish.
Watering frequency: When first establishing, you may have to water transplants several times a day. In such small pots, you may not be able to get away with watering just once a day as the plant gets bigger... tomatoes pull a LOT of water as the summer goes on.
Root temps: Even when a plant is adequately watered, the roots can bake in the summer heat, causing a variety of problems. Small and dark colored pots aggravate this. Solutions include insulated pots, unglazed terra cotta pots, much larger pots, shading the pot with a some kind of box structure, spray painting pots white, using a pot-in-pot system with mulch as an insulator between the two pots.
Pests: Check for destroyed stems at the base of your squash plant, as sudden wilting can be indicative of squash borers.
