Rated 4 out of 5 by RecPro The staff was attentive, friendly, and professional The staff was attentive, friendly, and professional. We were granted a late checkout when our departing flight was delayed. A concern with the thermostat was addressed promptly after contacting the desk. In addition, the concierge assisted us in booking tours and shows around our hectic convention schedule. The room and linens were clean and met my expectations. My only quibbles with the accommodations were a lack of venting in the bathroom, rusted shower fixtures, and the absence of a micro-fridge. The gym would be more appropriately titled as a cardio room. This may save some disappointment from travelers that had intentions of completing strength training during their stay, namely my husband. The addition of a few benches could make the available set of dumbbells more versatile. The breakfast buffet was excellent, albeit pricey, and provided an assortment of fresh fruit among other options. My only disappointment with the hotel was that smoking was allowed on the casino floor and in the bar, which you must pass through to access any of the hotel amenities, including your room. The non-smoking policy is my primary reason for choosing Westin hotels. March 13, 2013

1997 Honda Passport Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 2 reviews
The 1997 Honda Passport seems to not have the typical, and expected, Honda reliability. It's been around for three years, and not all drivers are pleased, with some even saying the engine gives out at only 90K miles.
The was a change in the Passport this year. The DX model is no longer available, but, the good news is that the 4-cylinder engine on all models has been upgraded to a 6-cylinder.
Standard features in the '97 Honda Passport still include driver and passenger airbags in the front, and a new instrument panel. The Honda Passport still uses a body-on-base truck-like design, which is good since it makes for better suspension.
The EX 4WD includes ABS, reclining front bucket seats, halogen headlamps, and child-safe rear doors.
But, in the end, customers are disappointed in the reliability and blame it on Isuzu's build.
Drivers like the towing ability and the Passport SUV's ability to maneuver in the snow. Many wish there had been a roof rack to help with limited cargo space.

Baked French Toast Casserole
If there's any leftover challah on Sunday, we love to make French toast for breakfast. But when a crowd is coming over for brunch, you don't want to be stuck in the kitchen with a frying pan. That's where casseroles come in. Make this on Saturday night and sleep in on Sunday before your friends arrive. And don't forget the mimosas!
I first made this recipe with crumbled chocolate wafers mixed with the challah and in the topping, but it's just as delicious without. It's already French toast, it doesn't need the extra decadence! Continue reading
Turkish Ground Lamb Pizza with Egg
It's not often you find a meat pizza recipe in a mainstream publication that doesn't have to be kosherized. I knew had to make this amazing and cheeseless lamb pizza the first time I saw this recipe in Food & Wine; the following day I took pizza dough and ground lamb out of the oven and made it for dinner.
Roasted Chicken with Arak and Clementines
Do you ever cook recipes or with ingredients you don't like? Our mom does, she makes a lot of Shabbat staples over and over again, but never eats them. Our aunt Michelle is the same way. I always thought it was weird.
I do not like anise; not sure why this triple-licorice chicken recipe appealed to me, but I made it, and it was tasty, according to the people who ate it. I guess I'm weird!
Shurba, Tomato and Rice Soup with Kibbe
Brrr, it's cold in New York these days! I know, I know, it's winter… but I've spent all of my winters in NYC, and it is not a normal one. Plus, I've been stuck inside with a now 11-month old (today! happy 11 months, Steve-o!) a lot lately, since sometimes we just can't bundle enough for a pleasant stroll. So we've been hanging out at home, playing on the floor, and cooking and eating a lot of soup. Steven loves it, and it's just what I need after a long day stuck in our apartment together when David finally comes home and I get some grown-up time. This is Syrian comfort food at its finest.
Potato Gnocchi and a Giveaway!

Miso Sweet Potato and Broccoli Bowl with Quinoa
I've been a fan of smitten kitchen since I've been reading food blogs however many years ago, but I've been slacking on my blog-reading since Google shut down Google Reader (wah!). Still, I kept seeing people recommend Deb's adaptation of Gwyneth's miso bowl online and I had to try it!
Cacio e Pepe Pizza with Roasted Radishes
Here's another pizza recipe for you, because you can never have too much pizza. I love a simple tomato mozzarella, but it's also fun to mix things up. This way, I can put pizza on the menu every week and it won't get boring, since there are so many varieties; there are so many things you can put on pizza…
Like radishes! Continue reading
Chicken Salad
I just bought my first rotisserie chicken! Ever since I saw a sign at my local Fairway Market that they now sell kosher rotisserie chickens, I've wanted to buy one, but didn't know what for.

where do you stash your stuff?
I have the large bag from CM that holds all the stuff I need to work with. I just pull it all up, put it back when done. I also have a large tub to hold my book and other heavier stuff. I currently have it beside my formal dining set. The table is large and I can really lay things out.
The other supplies have been neatly stored in the closet below my staircase. The ceiling slopes downward so I have to slouch to get in there. I got this bookcase from a garagesale to put things on, and one of those melamine drawer units- drawers are 18deepx36widex4tall. Works great for storing 12x12 paper and extra pages.
Problem is accessability. I would love to turn dh's office into a room with two work surfaces, his&hers. But it would hog room too much and we really need to have a little sofa or futon in there in case we ever have a guest. But it would be an ideal place to be. I have a large playroom upstairs that is open to the downstairs. It has a tv, computer, ps-2, games and of course our fish- as in one single fish. I would love to have some kind of large cabinet that is say as big as a kitchen table, with either those cubes with wheels that could slide under it or the cabinet have doors and drawers on it, likd of like a shorter version of a kitchen island. When I am not using it, it would be great for games, puzzles, sewing, mini ping-pong. DH really likes the idea.
The room also has a large closet that is all shelves. All the games are stored in there for easy access. There is another closet in the hall as you enter area also. I had linens in there but the cabinets under the kids bathroom sink was empty and I have a huge closet in my bath for blankets and such. So last night I cleared out the linen closet. Now the kids can grab a towel without going down the hall. I took all my stuff from downstairs and put it in the closet. It is sooooo much easier to get to and see the stuff. And I have so much room that I can put my sewing machine in there along with my sewing supplies. Right now sewing supplies are burried in the back of downstairs closet. I actually have been wearing a pair of pants with a safety pin because it is too hard to get to the thread to sew it back on.
My birthday is a month away- May 12 to be exact. I have been talking to dh about making this room better and so maybe I will do it for my day. If not, at least the stuff is easier to get to.
Funny thing is that as I age I have become more organized. Dh teases me about how I just itch to straighten things out. So last night I did this while kids were asleep. I got up early and looked at what I had accomplished. I must say I am a wee bit proud of it all.
So what would work for you?
Here is a link that might be useful: pis of my space
I swear I could have written that thread! Exactly!
Lol, I think your dh likes the idea cuz it's not in his office! We have the same set up, dh works from home, however, so he has claimed his office 100% his. We too have a couch in there for guests.
I work on my dining room table, have the cm bag, and everything else goes in our coat closet which is our scrap closet. I have top and bottom linen cupboards down our hall, the bottom ones are completely scrap and craft related. I have boxes of photos that are "pre digital", I'd like to go through those and get rid of about half of it! My negs are also stored in boxes down there.
I'd just about die for a scrap room, we had one in our old house and it's the room I miss the most. Now that we reproduced four little munchkins, they have consumed all rooms that may have been considered scrapworthy! Darn them!! Good thing they're so cute. ;)
This is where I scrap. It's an extra bedroom that was just stuffed full of stuff. I smooshed up and cleaned out a lot of the junk and made a scrapping corner. My only original idea was to use a shelf from an old fridge and used hooks to hang sticker packages on it so I could see my stickers without having to dig through books. I actually used 2 shelves, 1 in front of the other and leaned up on my paper cubes.
Becki- you got a lot of stuff! Nice to not have to always be putting everything away.
I went to our new Ikea store- actually I was foolish to go to the store on the Sunday after the grand opening on Wed, the hiway patrol was still directing traffic, but since we drove all the way across town there was no turning back.
Through the mass of people we found an interesting table. It was about 3x3 square, but it pulled apart and became 6x3. We both thought it would be great for the playroom because it could be small, not taking over the whole room, but enlarges for when we want to scrap or whatever. I thought of putting rolling carts under it to store stuff and make a skirt to go around it with velcro. It could even be a little ping-pong surface. Oh, no, like I need little balls flying downstairs landing in then entryway chandelier. I don't think so.
My kids, dd 9yrs and ds 5.5, are good about not touching my stuff when it is out. I have given them a bucket of scrap pictures that I let them use. They make little books or whatever. Keeps them content and out of my stuff for the moment.
My kids have way too many toys and lots require space to play with. Ds has 2 hotweel sets that are setup in his room and he does not even play with them. His dinosaurs are in the playroom and that just bugs me. I could put some toys like that under the table in the bins. Or better yet, sell the hotwheels stuff and put the dinos in his room where they really belong.
Just to mention this for fun.... When we moved this sofa in from prior home- it fit in prior home perfectly- it was too long for the one wall. I had to remove one cushion length. It now fits perfectly. And I learned a lot about how sofas are made. Boy they charge a lot for something so easily dismantled. It has a sleeper in it that guests actually preferred to sleep on the sofa instead of the sleeper. That got tossed in the neighborhood cleanup day. This explains why there is an extra cushion in the pic.
I think you all have good ideas. It's just a matter of what will work for you and the space you have. My space isn't much to look at as it's mostly mismatched stuff but it is usable and I have my own corner of the basement that I can use anyway I want! I scrap and sew on a 6 foot table with pegboard along one wall. I converted a wardrobe into storage and the rest is rolling carts (3 of them) and a wall of Target cubes. not pretty but it works for me!
My stuff is in a cardboard box under the coffee table. I have yet to "claim" a corner somewhere, but when I do, look out...that box is gonna explode! I like the idea of having stuff out too, not having to rummage through boxes, but I have to get some storage supplies. The idea of using a fridge rack is nifty...would be great for my sewing supplies too.
Emma in PA
Ahhhhh, I wish I had a scrap room or even a corner. Between kids, toys, animals, etc. theres not a spare corner but trust me I'm working on that.
I've been mobile for years, all my stuff lives in the back of my truck, I go to 12 hour crops at stores once a month with friends and a couple weekend getaways a year. When I'm home and in the mood to scrapbook, I print digital pics, scan and manipulate, print journalling, come up with page ideas, etc. For this I keep a 12 x 12 divider/carrier next to my desk, when its time for a crop all I have to do is grab it and go. This way I can power crop... lol. Its gratifying to come home with my file filled with finished pages.
Happy scrappin,
Hi Nancy,
Not really, but all my pictures are digital and I typically only print them when I need them. My older pictures, I like to scan, clean up, crop, etc. I type most of my journalling because I don't like my handwriting. Sometimes when doing this I'll sketch out a page idea and file it with the pictures until the next crop.
I take the pictures and journalling with me to a crop and do a page.
My scrapbooking friends envy me. My mother passed away about a year ago and I got about $2000 that I wanted to spend in some way to remember her. So I had custom cabinets made (desk height with drawer base units and upper wall cabinets) and changed a third bedroom into a scrapbooking and sewing room. One wall section is about 7 feet and I have it set up for scrapbooking and the other wall is about 5 feet and it is for sewing. I had the cabinets custom made because I am short and the only readymade cabinets I could find would have had to be kitchen counter height or vanity height and those wouldn't have been the full 2 feet deep. I'm already running out of space though, and I think it might have been wiser to get a utility type cabinet to store paper and and larger items in. The only bad thing is I seem to be addicted to scrapbooking and buying more. I guess I better get busy scrapbooking all those pictures mom had! I enjoyed seeing/hearing what areas other people had. I will try to get a picture of my area. Ruth in Iowa
I am a lurker here.
I have an old kitchen table against my dining room wall and a rolling cart under it. I made a gun cabinet into a closet and store all my stuff in it right beside my table. It is big enough to hold everything I have.
I don't have a dining room table.
But in the Dining room I feel cut off from everyone else and I did a whole lot more scrappin when I had my stuff in the living room!
We have an extra room that holds the treadmill, piano and my scrapbook corner. It is always morphing d/t I am always adding to my scrapbook stuff and need more room to expand. I am waiting for a Wishblade personal cutter to arrive in the mail and just talkied to Dh this am about moving around a dresser (used for scrap book storage, and the sewing machine, so I have a larger surface to set up printer and cutter closer to me and have a spot for laptop. My work area is a old kitchen table I picked up along side the road for the junk man!. I would love to have built in or custom cabinets for scrapbook storage but I am just glad I have an extra room for the stuff. It is located right off the kitchen too. Very accessable for me so no stair climbing involved for my less than perfect knees. It is wonderful to have a spot that you can leave everything spread out and leave it until another day

Repotting Dwarf Meyer Lemon
I recently bought a dwarf meyer lemon tree in a 15 gallon container. I want to transplant it into a different, more attractive container using a coconut husk / coir mix as the potting medium. How do I clean the the old potting medium from the roots when transplanting without damaging them? It seems that there is little point in transplanting into a new mix if I do not clean the existing potting medium from the roots.
I would not suggest that you "clean" the roots of the existing medium. This will only damage the roots and is not necessary. Do you suspect something is wrong with the soil (fungal, etc.?) I also wouldn't grow citrus in coconut husk. (Isn't that medium mostly for orchids and bromeliads?) I have my citrus growing in a standard potting soil amended with an extra helping of peat moss and coarse sand. Aim for a mix that is acidic and promotes adequate drainage. Citrus are not the best subjects for transplanting to begin with. Their roots are relatively fragile and easily damaged and they seem to resent being moved. (You might want to wait until March to transplant.) Also, you don't want a pot that is excessively large for the size of the plant/tree. They like is slightly on the snug side--that's my impression from years of growing them in containers anyway. Hope this was helpful! Good luck!
I repotted my meyer lemon last spring. I removed all of the old soil when I repotted into a faster draining soil (similar to bark / turface / granite) - see container soils. I didn't have any problems with the repot. I also repotted into a larger container, but that is only because the mix I'm using drains so fast.
You may want to read up a little more before choosing to repot into coconut husk / coir.
Having two moderately different soil types in a container really isn't that big of a deal in the sense of one type closer to the trunk and one farther away. I pull the plants out, shake or jar them a bit to shake the soil off the outer couple inches of roots. This is to have roots protruding well into the new soil and to uncoil the roots a bit. Put some new type soil in the bottom of the pot and to surround the old soil and root ball. Works fine for me. If a lot of the old soil falls off, so be it, so much the better. Then I usually mix it with the new soil before replacing.
I agree with zubaby, I also repotted my Dwarf Meyer Lemon in Al's Gritty Mix(the link she provided). I also removed all the old soil and repotted in that awesome, fast draining soil...the lemon is now in a 14" pot. I purchased it in a one gallon pot appx. 3 years ago. Since I have used this Potting Mix, it has done very well! I had no problems with the roots when I removed the old soil. For me, I would say two different types of soil can be damaging...one that stays moist all the time, while the other stays drier. Just my experience and opinion.
Just use caution, at the time of year when repotting, I live in Fl, so repotting almost any time of the year is fine for me.

How to Upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 Core Domain Controller to Windows Server 2012 Core
March 2nd, 2015 by Paul Combs
The upgrade path should be as simple as upgrading Windows Server 2008 R2 Server-Core Domain Controller to Windows Server 2012 Core. However, this is not the case. Most Internet solutions will write of this upgrade path without Active Directory services. This is an important distinction as this upgrade path will fail with a black screen with cursor and then a rollback. On a development virtual machine an upgrade path that worked was Windows Server 2008 R2 Core Domain Controller to Windows Server 2012 R2 Core. As this is NOT the desired path, a work-a-round had to be determined as well as determining the reason why the Windows Server 2012 R2 Core path worked where the Windows Server 2012 Core path failed.
While researching this problem, a Microsoft KB 2843034 article was found to describe the problem accurately and offer a "solution". Microsoft summarizes the problem as "… specific to server-core enabled domain controllers that are in-place upgraded to Windows Server 2012 server core. This condition does not occur on GUI or Full-DCs that are in-place upgraded to Windows Server 2012." The problem is narrowed to "[t]he DirectoryServices-DomainController role [which] is disabled by default and is not enabled because there is no role with that name on the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system. Since there is nothing to match up among the available Windows Server 2012 manifests, the upgrade hangs."
Now for the Microsoft "solution". To make an in-place upgrade succeed add a "Replacement Manifest", DirectoryServices-DomainController-ServerCoreUpg-Replacement.man, to the setup source files. "Please contact Microsoft Customer Technical Support to retrieve the manifest. Ensure to reference this article so the agent can provide you with the manifest file free of charge."
Not quite the solution that was sought. However, there was something to that solution that led to the next course of action. How did the Windows Server 2012 R2 succeed where the Windows Server 2012 had failed? It must have had the manifest necessary to succeed. To determine if the Windows Server 2012 R2 had the DirectoryServices-DomainController-ServerCoreUpg-Replacement.man file, the ISO image was opened and then navigated to the sources\replacementmanifests\ folder. The manifest is there. It is not on the Windows Server 2012 ISO.
Armed with this knowledge, the solution is to extract the sources\replacementmanifests\DomainController-ServerCoreUpg-Replacement.man file from the Windows Server 2012 R2 DVD or ISO and copy it to the same location to the Windows Server 2012 DVD or ISO. Perform the upgrade and watch in amazement and bewilderment as the upgrade process not only continues past the black screen, however completes successfully.
Documentum Webtop Musings
February 3rd, 2015 by Scott Roth
Webtop has been Documentum's flagship user interface (UI) since its introduction in Documentum v5 (circa 2003), and has an enormous world-wide install base. It's built upon solid (though dated) technology, methodology, and standards. It's also built upon/with a solid API (the WDK), which allows developers to do ANYTHING with Webtop — including replace it completely with a custom UI. One of my favorite features of Webtop is that it does EVERYTHING. In fact, this is often the reason many end users (i.e., customers) don't like Webtop — it's overwhelming. More often than not, we disable and hide capabilities and features in Webtop to make it more palatable for end users.
So, with all of this capability and installed user-base, you'd think EMC would enhance/upgrade/extend their flagship UI, right? Instead, they end-of-life it (Support for v6.7 SP2 ends April 2015. This was recently extend to Dec 2018 with the release of Webtop v6.8.) and are replacing it with one of two new clients: D2 or xCP. Worse, they provide no clear technical migration path from Webtop to either D2 or xCP, and provide no clear criteria to choose one client over the other. I know, I've heard the same guidelines that you have: if the application is "document-centric" it should move to D2; if the application is "process-centric" it should move to xCP. Well, it's never that easy. Many of our customers have applications they target for development in D2 (or xCP) because it meets one of these guidelines. However, once it is deployed, they started looking at the next (and the next) application to convert/rewrite/develop. Often these next applications contain elements better suited for the other platform. Now they have a problem: they want to build all of their applications on the same platform to minimize maintenance and maximize their investment, but they are stuck trying to force-fit an application's requirements into a platform's mis-aligned capabilities (or lack of capabilities). If they had remained with Webtop, they could achieve both types of applications (i.e., document-centric and process-centric) on a single platform. Of course, you lose the "no code" configurability of D2 and xCP and trade it in for full-blown Java development with Webtop.
As I mentioned before, out-of-the-box, Webtop does EVERYTHING. The thing that gripes me the most about xCP and D2 is that out-of-the-box they do NOTHING. Nothing! After installing the client you still have a long road ahead of you just to see your cabinets and folders, and create a few objects in the Docbase. Out-of-the-box, Webtop works. Why doesn't EMC invest in "Web 2.0-ifying" Webtop? They could rebuild it on Spring, using jSON and Ajax, DFS, REST, or whatever the framework de jour is. And, provide a migration path from the "classic" Webtop to this new creation. Many of these technologies provide the "configuration" conveniences they are striving for in D2 and xCP. For example, look at what Armedia is doing with it's ArkCase Management System. ArkCase is repository neutral and offers a UI that is elegant, responsive, and highly configurable while using current Web 2.0 technologies to achieve the highest level of re-usability and abstraction. Or take a look at CARA by Generis. CARA is a Webtop/D2 alternative and is gaining rapid acceptance for it's elegance, flexibility, ease of use, and adaptability. Are these examples of what Webtop should be, could be?
Come on EMC, revive Webtop and restore it to its flagship status. Don't just limp it along with periodic maintenance releases and force your user base onto D2 or xCP when they don't need to or want to.
Finding Similar Documents Without a Full Text Index
January 27th, 2015 by Scott Roth
Is there a way to quickly find similar documents in a Documentum repository? Yes, there is. One approach could be to use the Lucene MoreLikeThis() API. This API call to the Lucene full text search engine extracts what it believes to be the most salient words from a document and runs a full text search looking for documents whose content matches the chosen query words. But what if there was a simpler, lighter-weight approach?
In my 2014 EMC Knowledge Sharing whitepaper, Finding Similar Documents Without Using A Full Text Index, I detail an approach for identifying similar documents in a Documentum repository by using a 64-bit hash value. This hash value, called the Similarity Index (SI), is a product of a hashing function named SimHash[1]. This 64-bit value is applied with an Aspect to an object as metadata. This hash value can then be queried to find content that is similar to a given document's Similarity Index. For example, you could execute a DQL query like this to discover content that shares 80% similarity with a selected document:
select similar_obj_id from dbo.si_view where r_object_id ='[r_object_id]' and similarity >= 0.80
[r_object_id]is the object ID of a known object.
Using queries like this, content can be discovered which meets a varying degree of similarity. In this example, the query would return any document which is 80% similar to the selected document. For finer results, you could query for content which has 90% similarity.
The details for implementing this solution are discussed in the whitepaper. The most interesting elements of the solution are the SimHash function itself, and the relationship between the Aspect, which stores and evaluates the SI, and a registered database view that makes searching possible.
If you are intrigued, I encourage you to download the whitepaper.

Rich Smithson of HELVIE KNIVES has wood burned the art work of Don Stephenson on the cherry wood lid for the box that will contain twenty one of the WOOD BEE CARVER Signature Series knives made by HELVIE KNIVES along with an original carving by Don Mertz of a Whittle Doodle. Visit the previous postings in this blog about the HELVIE fund raising raffle for Juvenile Diabetes Research and how one can become a part of this raffle. Read the rest of this entry »
The VOISARD COLLECTION
The WOOD BEE CARVER is primarily a knife carver who carves in a Whittle-Carving style. The knife is the favorite carving tool and the favorite knife is the one in the carver's hand at the time. The side effect of this love affair with knives is that there is a passion for collecting and reshaping and refurbishing knives to be used in the carving process. Read the rest of this entry »
Don Stephenson is a very good friend who is an artist with a pen, wood burner and a knife. Recently he gave me the original drawings that will be used for inspiration on the cherry presentation box for the HELVIE Fund Raiser. Rich Smithson will use these drawings in an appropriate manner to decorate the box that will contain twenty one WOOD BEE CARVER Signature Knives made by HELVIE KNIVES and an original WHITTLE DOODLE carving by Don Mertz. Childhood Diabetes Research will receive the proceeds from the fund raising raffle as has been described in the two previous postings in this blog. Thanks to Don Stephenson for his creative genius and generous gifts to the arts. Below are his drawings.
HELVIE Whittle Doodle
The HELVIE Whittle Doodle was carved to be part of the Helvie Fund Raising for Childhood Diabetes Research as described in the previous posting on March 16. The first series of photographs are a panoramic view of the entire carving with its finished stain of artist oil paint Raw Sienna thinned with boiled linseed oil followed with a brushed on application of Deft, a brushing lacquer.
The next series of photographs depict the various sections of the Whittle Doodle along with the WOOD BEE CARVER Signature Knives used to carve each segment. Read the rest of this entry »
HELVIE WHITTLE-DOODLE composite photograph that shows a panoramic view of the Whittle Doodle carved for the Helvie Fund Raiser. The Whittle Doodle is two inches square and eight inches tall carved using all of the Wood Bee Carver Signature Series knives designed by Don Mertz and made by Helvie Knives with Rich Smithson doing the wood burning art on cherry wood handles.
Myron Compton has been gracious enough to share photographs and written description of his journey to carve another of his wonderful cowboys. Ole Flint is a good "visual study" of an interpretation of a cowboy carving that any carver may want to try on their own. A "visual study" allows for one to exercise and encourage the inner eye of creativity to "see" this cowboy subject with an imagination of how to carve a similar cowboy. Read the rest of this entry »
A Whittle Doodle is doodling with a knife to decorate a block of wood with free hand Whittle Carvings. Since it is doodling there is no preset plan or overall design for the random carvings done to fill in the spaces in a block of wood. There is a combination of a variety of carved faces and free hand chip carving all done in the Whittle-Carving style. The Whittle Doodle was carved into a two inch cube of basswood and finished with Raw Sienna artist oil paint color thinned with boiled linseed oil followed by an application of Deft, a brushing lacquer and then Howard Feed N Wax. Read the rest of this entry »
Bud Murray is well known for his quality carving knives and tools that he has been making for many years. It has been my pleasure to recommend his knives that he has made according to my design because each knife is a great carving tool. Each knife is made one at a time by the hand and creative eye of Bud who puts pride in each tool he makes as if he was making it for himself. If fact that is how it all began with making tools for his own use and after others tried his own personal knife, the orders for custom made knives grew into a custom knife making business one knife at a time.
Recently Bud has been experimenting with new tool steel that will hold a sharp cutting edge for a long, long time. He made a knife for me out of the new steel to field test for him which was used in carving the hillbilly figure in the photos. From start to finish the new steel preformed with extreme sharpness and remained so throughout the entire carving project. This new Premium Knife is the real deal. Even though his original knives and gouges remain super carving tools, yet the new Premium Knife is well worth the extra cost for any carver who would like a knife to retains its sharpness over a long period of use before requiring the use of a strop.
The new Premium Knife as well as other Bud Murray tools can be ordered through his catalog printed below with information on how to contact him. Read the rest of this entry »

Trivialises history,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: World War One: A Layman's Guide (Kindle Edition)
When I first read the blurb about this book I thought it sounded like a great idea. And, yes, it was. The chapters are short and the reader is taken through the main episodes of the war in short, concise chapters. But in trying to write a non-academic book the author has resorted to what I presume he sees as humorous quips and asides, and in doing this, I believe, the facets and facts of the war -- which still bring tears to the eyes of grown men -- have been trivialised, and the text made irreverent and flippant. Editing and proofreading seems to have been a probem: "reinforce" comes out as "re-enforce" and "Nivelle" as "Neville". I read 60 percent of the book before giving up. My sincere advice to the author is to go back to the manuscript and give it all another go. It would be worth it and would make the book into a five-star read.

It costs about $5 for a bottle, and you cannot keep the bottle cap. Everything else is near the equivalent of ordering from a restaurant menu with fast-food or Seven-Eleven results.Adults regress to their high school days, cramming walkways, corridors, and entrances like salmon swimming upstream to spawn with those sweet-smelling kiosks serving temptations at every turn. And the seating -- if you get a seat, brings you back to the college years, when sitting in a 40-year-old desk wearing last night's "fabreezed" garb -- the tiny, cheap seats located somewhere between poor man and nose bleed. My co-workers and I have discussed this recently, briefly. There is a consensus among us that (a.) entertainment/sports venues are not what they used to be and (b.) making them count fully is only becoming tougher and tougher to do. There is a sort of bell curve, I suppose, that supports the adage that with more money, comes more problems. People seem to spend incrementally more with increased spending power. This is true, as far as I am concerned. It is amazing how many necessities we have lived without, that seem to materialize when our spending power increases. This spring, millions of folks are going to have a few hundred more bucks to spend on whatever they want. The government's stimulus rebate will pay up to about $600 for individuals, $1,200 for married couples, and more for families. The running theme with people I have talked to has been that they may end up spending the money or saving it. The money, they say, would likely be filtered into their everyday expenses like gas, or even a couple of entertainment venues. And the entertainment venues are kind of pricey these day, not just for ticket prices, but also in food costs. The other issue is time. Reportedly, the Atlanta Braves professional baseball team organization is pushing up its weekday game times about a half an hour. That is great, I am sure, for teachers, students, and retirees. But what about the rest of us fans who do not have a third-of-the-day of daylight to kill before the game? Well, we have to settle for the weekend, when everybody and their uncle decides to join us. Even on certain Sundays, you will have extreme turnouts at this venue or that, which can make for an awesome experience, or a unpleasant one. It is almost as if you would have to take a vacation from work in order to get to a decent venue less than 20 miles from your home or work. This is what it all has come to these days, high prices and slammed parking lots of late-arriving crowds. Johnny Jackson is the education reporter for the Henry Daily Herald.

Mt.Washington Alpine Resort will see the sun shine down on Wednesday, when it peeks through the clouds amid a few flurries. In that 24 hours, less than one centimetre is expected to fall. That will be followed by a day of wet flurries Thursday, with no new snowfall, and then some relief Friday; though there'll be no new snow, the skies will clear and it'll be a mainly sunny day on the mountain. The sun will stay Saturday and close to one centimetre will fall. Sunday, however, the clouds return and scattered flurries will bring close to one more cm of snow, with Monday a slightly better outlook, giving us another one centimetre under sunny skies.
The forecast looks slightly less promising outside of Kamloops, where cloudy skies will bring up to three centimetres of light snow on Wednesday, flowed by two more days of a mix of cloud and sunny breaks. Saturday brings the best of both worlds, with sunny skies with just a few cloudy periods and a light offering of less than one cm. of new snow. More snow, up to three more centimetres, will come down on Sunday, when it'll be cloudy. The clouds remain all day Monday, but at least it'll bring three centimetres more fresh powder.

We calculate the transport properties of an ultracold gas of Bose- Einstein condensed atoms that is coupled from a magnetic trap into a one-dimensional waveguide. A central aim of such guided atom lasers is to study the role of atom-atom interaction in many-body transport processes across finite scattering regions within the waveguide resembling tunnel junctions and quantum dots. Our numerical approach to solve this many-body scattering problem is based on a home-made theory where the boundaries of the system are simulating an open system enabling us to calulate observable in the steady-state regime such as density, current, transmission. The results are compared to the mean-field regime. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 73 (6 ULg)

Although many studies have explored magnitude effects in numerical cognition, the representation of order information has received only limited interest. We explored the hypothesis that common abstract ordinal representations underlie the representation of order information across different domains. We tested this hypothesis by determining the similarity of distance effects in short-term memory (STM) order probe recognition (did '8' occur before '5' in the list '3, 6, 5, 4, 8, 7' presented a few seconds ago?) and in order judgment tasks (does '1' occur before '2'), both numerical and alphabetical stimuli were used. In numerical cognition, adjacent numbers are typically judged more slowly than more distant numbers. In fifty healthy adults, we observed significant distance effects across all tasks: in the order judgment tasks, adjacent numbers/letters were judged more slowly than more distant numbers/letters; in the STM tasks, order recognition was slowed for stimuli stemming from adjacent positions in the STM list as compared to stimuli stemming from more distant positions. Regression slopes for distance effects were identical across the different tasks and conditions. Furthermore, the size of distance effects correlated significantly across tasks, except for the order judgment task with numerical stimuli. We will discuss the implications of these results for a hypothetical common representational system of order information in STM and numerical cognition. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 39 (3 ULg)

Chirality effects in optical second harmonic generation (SHG) are studied in periodic planar arrays of gold G-shaped nanostructures. We show that G-shaped structures of different handedness demonstrate different SHG efficiency for the left and right circular polarizations, as well as the opposite directions of the SHG polarization plane rotation. The observed effects are interpreted as the appearance of chirality in the SHG response which allows clear distinguishing of two enantiomers. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 20 (1 ULg)

O striptease que propomos analisar é na verdade o título de uma obra que pertence à produção da artista italiana Benedetta Bonichi. Trata-se de uma composição mista, a meio caminho entre os raios-x e a fotografia. "Striptease" constitui uma base analítica interessante para várias razões. Com certeza, por seu caráter surpreendente, sendo uma cena erótica e ao mesmo tempo uma radiografia. Mas também e sobretudo por sua estética particular em relação aos outros artistas que desenvolvem uma técnica similar. Uma parte do nosso estudo consistirá na abordagem indispensável mesmo que breve das realizações de quatro outros artistas que trabalham com os raios-x. O propósito de nossos passos é levar em consideração o lugar da obra estudada no espaço de realizações em raio-x artístico, numa perspectiva semiótica. Pretendemos desta maneira chegar à descrição fina de "Striptease", ou seja, conseguir por um lado estabelecer os critérios sobre os quais se correlacionam e se diferenciam os raios-x artísticos vistos e, por outro lado e graças à primeira etapa, dar conta da riqueza da obra da italiana. Desenvolveremos o estudo segundo três etapas gerais. Com a primeira, efetuaremos uma descrição de "Striptease" segundo os três eixos da leitura plástica padrão, tal como foram trabalhados por Jean-Marie Floch: cromático, eidético e topológico. Na segunda etapa, adotaremos o mesmo ponto de vista para a descrição plástica de cinco obras de quatro outros artistas: Nick Veasey, a agência Butter, Wim Delvoye e Claudio Mubarac. O interesse da segunda parte consiste em mostrar que o tipo de descrição estabelecido para "Striptease" vale nos outros casos e como se atualizam as unidades plásticas em cada realização particular, a fim de observar as suas possíveis convergências. Na última etapa, poderemos considerar a estética de cada obra à luz das atualizações plásticas e das integrações entre elas com outros patamares temáticos. Conseguiremos, finalmente, entender a pertinência e a particularidade de "Striptease" como metalinguagem crítica por meio destas considerações temáticas e plásticas.

Several studies show that the global interest in health and human nutrition is continually growing. A continuous change includes also the food production systems. There are more and more papers that connect the value of agricultural production and food production system, papers that show a particular interes on the high value of products that are produced in low input agricultural systems./ On grassland canopy, these systems have a high diversity of floristic species. At European level, this concept has been extrapolated also to the farms, being a major concern regarding the quantification of inputs, aspect pursued along this paper.

Semen freezing allows worldwide commercialization of equine genetic. Despite improvement of techniques, semen of 20% of stallions remains unfreezable. Currently, post-thaw semen quality is only determined by progressive motility, but its definition is not standardised. Spermatozoa are highly differentiated cells and freezing lesions can occur on DNA, membrane, mitochondria or acrosome. Current research focuses on prediction of freezability, improvement of freezing extenders and prevention of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) effects. Under its O2 form, oxygen is inactive and oxidase or oxygenase enzymes are required to produce ROS. Two pathways of ROS production in semen are described: the intrinsic pathway reflecting ROS escaping from the spermatozoon mitochondria and the extrinsic pathway corresponding to ROS produced by inflammatory cells. ROS induce DNA fragmentation, lipid peroxidation, apoptosis and decreased motility of spermatozoa. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a pro-oxidant enzyme contained in and released by neutrophils during degranulation or after lysis. It is responsible for formation of hypochlorous acid, a strong oxidant, which could damage spermatozoa. However, MPO presence and effects have never been investigated in equine semen. The first aim was to assay presence of MPO in equine thawed semen and to determine a relation between MPO concentration and post-thaw semen parameters. 35 straws from different stallions were analyzed. Post-thaw spermatozoa and MPO concentrations, viability, morphology, progressive and total motility were determined. Our study showed that thawed semen contains large amounts of free MPO. High MPO concentration samples showed lower total and progressive motility. Higher proportion of acrosome reaction was observed in late examinations of the high MPO concentration group. As MPO was present in frozen semen and did interfere with its quality, timing and origin of its release was determined during the freezing process. Forty ejaculates were frozen with a classical procedure. MPO ELISA and MPO immunocytochemistries (ICC) were assayed in raw semen, centrifugation supernatant, and after cooling down to 4°C. Post-thaw MPO concentration and spermogram parameters were determined. MPO concentration increased after cooling and thawing when compared to fresh semen. As temperature decreased, MPO was higher in post-thaw poor quality samples. Non-sperm cells (NSC) showed various degrees of MPO-ICC, and were mostly epithelial cells with nuclear picnosis. Elastase, another neutrophil pro-inflammatory enzyme, was also assayed in post-thaw semen. In twenty ejaculates, NSC concentration was determined in fresh semen. Post-thaw motilities were determined by CASA; MPO and elastase concentrations were assayed by ELISA. Post-thaw elastase concentrations were low and there was no difference according to semen quality. NSC or MPO concentrations were not correlated to elastase concentration. NSC concentration was higher in unfreezable semen and correlated to post-thaw MPO concentration. To confirm MPO release by NSC during freezing, the effect of washing semen with density gradient centrifugation (DGC) was then assayed on NSC and MPO concentrations. NSC and MPO concentrations were assessed at each step and MPO localization was performed by ICC. DGC washing decreased NSC and MPO concentrations in post-thaw semen and NSC were mainly remaining in DGC supernatant. MPO concentration was correlated with NSC concentration in the upper layer of the DGC supernatant and in post-thaw semen. NSC were epithelial cells showing MPO-ICC staining. Fresh semen MPO concentration had no effect on fresh or post-thaw semen quality, while post-thaw semen concentrations were correlated with decreased motility. To understand these findings, concentration, activity and structure of MPO present in seminal plasma, sperm-rich pellet and post-thaw semen were assayed. Factor inducing MPO release was determined by adding or not glycerol in samples stored at 4°C or 20°C. Total MPO was high in seminal plasma and thawed semen and low in sperm-rich pellet. Active MPO was high in sperm-rich pellet and low in seminal plasma and post-thaw semen. MPO concentrations were correlated in post-thaw and in semen cooled at 4°C with or without glycerol. Active MPO in sperm-rich pellet and post-thaw progressive motility were highly negatively correlated. MPO present in fresh semen is mainly the native inactive enzyme subunit. To confirm our previous findings, effect of active MPO and fresh or frozen-thawed NSC was assayed on purified spermatozoa motility, mitochondrial potential, membrane and acrosome integrity. Highest MPO concentration tested (50ng/ml) decreased motility. However, highest MPO concentration did not affect mitochondrial potential, membrane or acrosome integrity. Thawed NSC did decrease motility and mitochondrial potential when compared to fresh NSC, suggesting a synergic effect between MPO and other products released by NSC after thawing. Temperature decrease during freezing process increases MPO concentration and post-thaw concentration is negatively associated to post-thaw motilities. ICC slides have shown MPO presence on epithelial keratinized and pycnotic cells while neutrophils were rarely observed. Semen washing with DGC decreases MPO and NSC concentrations in post-thaw semen as NSC and MPO concentrations were positively correlated. MPO present in seminal plasma is native and inactive form while MPO present in sperm-rich pellet is active and negatively correlated to the post-thaw progressive motility. Addition of active MPO in semen decreased motility but had no effect on acrosome integrity, despite what had previously been suggested. Thawed NSC addition to spermatozoa decreased mitochondrial potential, suggesting a synergic effect between MPO and other factors released by NSC. Further studies should investigate the origin of high inactive MPO concentrations in fresh semen. Other studies should be conduced about the origin of epithelial keratinized pyknotic NSC in fresh semen and the pathophysiological mechanism leading to their MPO release during freezing. Large scale studies should be conducted to confirm the use of NSC concentration in fresh semen or active MPO concentration in sperm rich pellet as freezability prognosis. Further studies should also investigate effect of MPO specific inhibitors. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 159 (35 ULg)

Meet Angeline Echeverría
Angeline Echeverría grew up the daughter of two Cuban immigrants, but it wasn't until she came to the South that she truly learned about racism. Her exposure to racial injustice led her to a life of social activism that has taken her to Arkansas, Costa Rica and New York. In April, she became the executive director of the Latino advocacy organization El Pueblo in North Carolina. The group has supported Latino rights since its inception in 1994, but in recent years, losses of funding and leadership have damaged its reputation in the community. Host Frank Stasio talks to Echeverría about her life of social activism and her plans to turn El Pueblo around.

Welcome to
GIY is a global movement of people who grow their own food.
Our big idea? When people grow their own they gain a deeper understanding of food called 'food empathy' which acts as a lever to a healthier lifestyle.
There are 50,000 people involved online and in the community, supported by the GIY foundation, which runs campaigns and events to inspire and support people to grow their own.
