New England Association of Chemistry Teachers
Summer Mini-Conference
"Colorful Chemistry"
Monday, August 10, 2015
Clark University, Worcester, MA
Instead of the traditional 4-day summer conference, this year NEACT is holding a mini-conference mainly because the fall ACS National Meeting is being held in Boston during the week of August 16-21. Our Conference will begin at 8:30 am with registration and light refreshments followed by a plenary lecture, a full day of short talks, workshops, and a scientist's tour of the Worcester Art Museum led by Dr. Sudha Swaminathan, Professor of Physics. An evening banquet and speaker will conclude the program. For those who would like to stay overnight, we have reserved a block of rooms at a reduced rate at the local Marriott so that there will be an opportunity to meet informally afterwards. We have some great speakers lined up including Sr. Mary Virginia Orna (noted chemical educator, ACS award winner and scholar of history, archeology, and the chemistry of color), but we are still looking for proposals for lectures, demonstrations and workshops that will complement the theme of "Colorful Chemistry." All ideas welcome!
CEUs and PDPs will be available!
Scholarships are available!
Please submit proposals by April 1, 2015 to
Mel Govindan (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Save the date for your NEACT Summer Experience!
For information about scholarships, contact Kathy Siok, Registrar, email@example.com
Registration information will be posted mid-May.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman underwent a 2½-hour operation Thursday to repair a broken bone above his left eye but has no other serious injuries after being hit in the face by a line drive in a spring training game.
Reds' Chapman 'lucky' to have only broken bone
Team medical director Dr. Timothy Kremchek said Chapman could begin throwing off a mound in six to eight weeks, a timetable that could get him back in games in late May. The left-hander with a fastball that has reached 105 mph could start exercising and throwing on flat ground in a couple of weeks, Kremchek said.
The doctor called Chapman "a very lucky guy."
The surgery was performed by cranial facial plastic surgeon Dr. Ed Joganic.
Kremchek said earlier that a metal plate would be inserted in the bone above Chapman's left eyebrows and would remain there permanently. Chapman has a very mild concussion but no other brain injury and no injury to his eye, Kremchek said.
"He's feeling better and he has some pain management. We're optimistic that he is going to be on the mend," Reds manager Bryan Price said after meeting with players Thursday morning at the team's spring training facility. "Obviously, we'll stay in touch. We will make sure we follow the process as we continue to get familiar with the injury itself. We will let him know how much support he has and that we care about him. Hopefully, we will see him here very soon."
Cincinnati catcher Brayan Pena, a fellow Cuban and Chapman's close friend, was one of several Reds players who visited the injured pitcher Wednesday night and spoke to him on the phone Thursday morning.
"He was talking to me and we joked a lot," Pena said. "He just wanted to make sure for me to tell everybody that he appreciate so much the fans' prayers, especially our teammates, our coaching staff, everybody around, how much support and how much love he received and got from all of us."
Pena said Chapman was very happy when they spoke Thursday, "talking and joking. He was talking a lot about some Cuban jokes and that's good because that means his memory is still working pretty good."
The frightening incident, widely available on video via the Internet, occurred in the sixth inning of Wednesday night's game at Kansas City's spring training facility in Surprise, where the Royals' Salvador Perez lined Chapman's 99 mph fastball into the pitcher's face. Chapman was knocked backward to the ground, then rolled on his face, kicking in pain.
Pena rushed to the mound.
"Honestly, when I saw it I wanted to cry," Pena said. "That was my first feeling because it was very scary. It was very scary because I saw the line drive going straight for his face, and then I saw him bleeding and kicking and moving around the way he was."
Pena said Chapman "wasn't even talking. He was just like moaning and making sounds and then when I got there I panicked because I didn't know what else to do. Then the medical staff guys got there, and those guys were great."

fixing soil cracks
if you have cracks in your soil during the summer.....almost pure clay soil lol, what can you do to stop this? i read that these cracks can take away all your top dressed amendments?
The earth is shifting just be glad it doesn't affect your house like it did with mine. True what amendments where on the cracks are now down the hole. Dry weather does that. Just keep on adding more to build it up.
Here is a link that might be useful: Propagating Perennials
TO fix cracks in clay, just use more clay to fill in the cracks. :)
On the serious side, just keep adding more OM as top dressing. Eventually, the cracks will become less and less as the OM drops into the clay and mixed in to amend the clay. The amended clay will have much better moister holding abilities, which will help it from cracking.
Remember DON'T DO CRACK!
Your clay is probably low in calcium and magnesium. You might want to get a soil test and add the advised amount of dolomite lime, which has both. Calcium opens the soil and magnesium tightens it, so if the soil is off-balance, you need to fix that first. Then add organic matter.
i got news for you, if you have the type of clay we have, it will take YEARS of amendmentts to fix it. the BEST way to keep clay soil from cracking in summer is to water often, and deep. my neighbor has the same soil as i do. his lawn does not crack during the summer, mines cracks to hell and back, and i mean that almost literally! last summer i ran a 1 1/2 hose for 20 minutes in one crack and it NEVER showed any signs of water building up. it hit the side and went down and down and down. how much do you think it would take to fill that ONE CRACK, and i have them everywhere and this was not one of the bigger ones. about the only thing i can say that is good about it is that my lawn does not flood during early summer rains like his does, it all just disappears!
if you wan tto amend the soil, you need to mix it 50/50 with sand and till it up to the desired depth for top soil. if you wan thte top soil 12" deep, put 6" of sand on top then till it all in together. you have to till it many times to work it out right. then compact it to minimize settling unevenly, then aerate to offset the compaction. then do it all over again in a year or two as the clay will still crack below grade and slowly swallow up the sandy loam you created. i know a family that brings in several truck loads of sand every other year and does this, and usually by late summer any areas that got a low dose of sand are back to clay. finally after about 10 years of doing this most of their yard has turned to topsoil and only requires organic additives now.
keep in mind that if you do organic/compost only, that will break down every year almost completely. that is why i say sand is the best additive.
It's because it lacks enough fungi biomass. Add more brown stuff like leaves and fertilize with soybean meal to help fungi grow. You might have to apply compost that have good diversity of fungi species (leaf mold) and it should do the trick. Having a lawn and mowing really high like 4 inches will help alot to cool the ground during the summer.
I remember as a kid, we used to have all these cracks in the ground at my parents house during the summer. Now, it's pure gold stuff. How that happened? Most likely, mulching mower to mulch grass clippings and leaves. Of course we had to convince our dad to buy a lawnmower since he wasn't known for shelling out $$$.
We never used sand.

Intel takes Home Energy Management to a whole new level
By Mick Webb
January 9, 2010
With home energy consumption and ways to reduce and manage it becoming an increasingly important issue, Intel has at this weeks CES shown its Intelligent Home Energy Management concept. Taking the form of a Wi-Fi enabled 11.5" touchscreen dashboard, the wall mounted system enables users to not only track their household's monthly energy usage, but offers a host of other features like leaving video memos for other family members and a "goodbye" switch that instantly configures all appliances to their least consumptive setting – as well as reminding the user if they have left the stove on.
The Intelligent Home Energy concept uses an Intel Atom processor and is Wi-Fi and ZigBee enabled. The device provides relevant and up to the minute information on overall electricity consumption and usage patterns and users can check on their current monthly usage at any time, including a breakdown of the contribution of each appliance to the total.
More than just being an electricity bill watchdog, the wall mounted dashboard features applications similar to a smartphone, with an application store enabling further expansion of its functions to include, for example, baby monitoring and traffic updates. The device features a clock that outlines peak times to help a user switch their usage to save money, and notifications alert the user when a device in the home requires attention.
With up to 50% of home energy costs in the home attributed to heating and cooling, a built in thermostat adapts its setting based on weather, current energy price and usage patterns.
Intel is currently looking to partner with a manufacturer to bring the Intelligent Home Energy Management concept to market.Share

Most subway service in New York City resumed Saturday, but more than 2.5 million utility customers in New York, New Jersey and other states remained without electricity.
By Lucy Craymer
WELLINGTON, New Zealand—The death toll from Tropical Cyclone Pam has risen to 24 in the island nation of Vanuatu, although news from much of the archipelago remains limited with no phone or radio communication.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said 24 had been confirmed dead since the storm slammed into the small South Pacific country over the weekend, but authorities and aid agencies still haven't been able to communicate with the many of the islands outside of Efate, where the capital, Port Vila, is located.
Getting in touch with the other islands has posed a problem because most have only grass runways, which likely will be too wet and debris-covered for safe landings. However, aerial assessment teams from New Zealand, Australia and New Caledonia have seen widespread damage.
"Shefa, Tafea, Malampa and Penama are emerging as the worse impacted areas, although Shefa remains the only province declared an emergency," said the U.N. OCHA report.
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said while the death toll was still unclear, Vanuatu would need long-term reconstruction aid.
"We are aware that this has been a most devastating cyclone. The impact will be felt for quite some time," Ms. Bishop said in Canberra.
As the cleanup begins, aid agencies are grappling with how best to deal with providing necessities for the thousands of people who have been made homeless by the storm. A number of emergency shelters have been set up in Port Vila.
"There are more than 100,000 people likely homeless, every school destroyed, full evacuation centers, damage to health facilities and the morgue," said Colin Collet van Rooyen, Oxfam's country director in Port Vila.
The National Disaster Office said 3,300 people were sheltering in evacuation centers in three provinces, but aid agencies think this is a conservative estimate.
Aid organizations including the Red Cross, Save the Children and the U.N. OCHA have started distributing food and providing emergency shelter in the country as aid flights from New Zealand, Australia and New Caledonia start coming in.
"The recovery process has started. People are out there chopping down trees, people are clearing them off the roads, people are moving metal off the roads and people are trying to regather what is left of their houses so they can start rebuilding," said Mr. Collet van Rooyen.
The cyclone caused damage in the neighboring Pacific island nations of Tuvalu, Kiribati and the Solomon Islands, with one fatality reported in the Solomon Islands. A state of emergency was declared in Tuvalu because of the damage caused by storm surges.
The cyclone is making its way south in New Zealand, where around 100 people have been evacuated in east coast communities as a precaution. A state of emergency has been declared in the Chatham Islands—which have a population of just over 600—where the cyclone is due to hit midday Tuesday.
Write to Lucy Craymer at firstname.lastname@example.com
Tens of thousands of people in Vanuatu on Thursday were being evacuated to secure shelters as a tropical cyclone bears down on the tiny South Pacific island nation.
Vanuatu National Disaster Management Office spokesman Mishael Garaelulu said the country was preparing for what is likely to be the most devastating cyclone to strike the country—known for its high-end beach resorts and its reputation as a tax haven—since at least Cyclone Uma in 1987. Officials were trying to work out how to provide safe places for around 45,000 people to ride out the cyclone, he said.
"We are currently working on finding places to evacuate people to. Red Cross, the Vanuatu police and Unicef are going around possible evacuation centers at the moment and seeing what the capacity of those centers are," said Mr. Garaelulu.
The cyclone, named Pam and currently a Category 4 system, is set to be upgraded to Category 5, the highest classification, as it moves south off the coast of the islands of Vanuatu over the next two days. Vanuatu's Meteorological Services is forecasting winds of 160 kilometers, storm surges and heavy rain that could potentially wreak havoc in the country, particularly in rural communities where many residents live in traditional styled grass huts.
Vanuatu comprises more than 80 islands in the Pacific Ocean about 3,600 kilometers east of Australia. The country has a population of around 270,000 people with nearly 50,000 living in the country's capital, Port Vila. Vanuatu's economy is based primarily on small-scale agriculture, along with fishing, offshore financial services and tourism.
Mr. Garaelulu said northern islands were already experiencing rain, high winds and storm surges and two coastal communities had to be evacuated to hospitals and schools in the area.
Neighboring Fiji has also activated an Emergency Operations Center as the cyclone is due to pass near its northern islands.
"We are expecting more rain on Thursday and flash flooding in low lying areas. What we are also concerned about is the high tide that can causes flooding in Labasa," said Fiji's acting Divisional Commissioner Northern Alipate Bolalevu.
"We have the police force, military, navy all on standby and the agriculture department is alerting the farmers," said Mr. Bolalevu.
Australia's Northern Territory and eastern Queensland state were hit by a Category 5 cyclone last month that, along with a second cyclone, damaged dozens of homes and other buildings in the coastal city of Yeppoon.

Major cities in Northeast are likely to be hit by a wintry mix, while Boston will add more snow to its potentially record-setting winter. Above, people walking in Piscataway, New Jersey, on Sunday.
A winter storm threatened to snarl the Monday morning commute for millions on the East Coast after dumping as much as 8 inches of snow in the Midwest during the weekend.
Large swaths of the country received an unwelcome start to March as ice and snow piled up in parts of Missouri, Indiana and Illinois early Sunday, before the storm headed to major cities in the Northeast—including Boston, which is poised to break its record for winter snow.
Freezing rain and ice also coated parts of Texas and Oklahoma, crippling weekend traffic and causing flight problems.
At U.S. airports, more than 3,900 delays and 2,200 cancellations were reported on Sunday, according to tracker Flightaware.com.
Hardest hit was Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport which canceled 1,000 flights Saturday in addition to 600 cancellations Friday due to icy conditions. The airport had 236 canceled flights and 193 delays on Sunday.
Icy conditions caused a multivehicle highway accident near Rolla, Mo., that forced the state to close Interstate 44. No deaths were reported, but dozens were hospitalized, according to local emergency services. Other Midwestern states also reported car accidents due to icy roads.
Many Southern and mid-Atlantic states were under a winter weather advisory and were hit by freezing rain, sleet and snow early Sunday. Widespread car crashes were reported in North Carolina.
Further north, salt trucks were deployed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, where snow began falling Sunday afternoon and was expected to continue into the evening, before possibly turning into a wintry mix and freezing rain, said the National Weather Service.
Boston, which has recorded 102 inches of snow this winter, is likely to see snow accumulations Sunday evening into Monday. The city is just 5.6 inches away from the current snowfall record of 107.6 inches set in 1995-96, and Sunday's storm threatens to break it.
Boston could see as much as 6 inches of snow, while other parts of coastal New England might get up to 8 inches. The storm was expected to hit the region Sunday evening before tapering off Monday morning.
Another large storm moving across the Rockies could pelt the Plains, Midwest and East by midweek, bringing snow or icy rain to a swath of states from the Ohio Valley east to the mid-Atlantic and as far South as northern Georgia and Alabama.

When millions of voters went to the polls in November to narrowly re-elect Barack Obama, the economy was rapidly shrinking toward recessionary levels.
In the last three months of 2012, the gross domestic product -- the measurement of everything America produces -- fell to an annualized rate of 0.1 percent, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. This means the economy grew at a weak 2.2 percent rate for the entire year, little better than its feeble 1.8 percent growth rate the year before.
The Wall Street Journal, never mincing words, said, "U.S. economic momentum screeched to a halt."
Apparently, millions of voters didn't know it or chose to ignore the handwriting on the wall that was there for all to see. In his campaign, President Obama insisted that the economy was "moving forward," that "we're making progress," and that the nation's economy was in recovery. His top advisers repeated the claim, as did his cheerleaders in the news media.
Millions of voters believed him. After all, there were few stories on the network nightly news shows about the nation's still severely high unemployment. Newspapers often referred to "the recovery," played up every downward tick in the jobless rate, even when the decline was largely because of long-discouraged job seekers dropping out of the labor force. More than 12 million Americans were officially out of work, and more than half of the jobs being created were low-wage ones or only part-time.
Numerous business and independent economists were warning at the time that the Obama economy was slowing and were rapidly revising their fourth-quarter growth rates to little more than 1 percent. Their estimates, however, apparently fell on deaf ears.
Still, the Washington news media continued to cover for Mr. Obama, whose four-year "economic recovery" record is the worst since the Great Depression.
The day before Wednesday's bleak report that the once-mighty American economy was no longer growing, The Washington Post ran a story grudgingly acknowledging that the economy had "slowed" but was still in "a solid recovery."
Twenty-four hours later, in its lead, front-page story on the government's dreary GDP numbers, the newspaper retreated a bit, saying it now looks like "a modest recovery."
Excuse me? The economy is creating a relatively small number of jobs each month (only 155,000 in December), nowhere near the 358,000 a month needed to pound the unemployment rate down to 6 percent.
Declining U.S. exports plunged by $27 billion, or nearly 6 percent in the last quarter. The richest economy in the world is selling less abroad for a number of reasons, but the biggest obstacle is Mr. Obama's job-killing resistance to new trade-expansion agreements.
Businesses, too, were slashing inventories by $40 billion amid growing signs of a precipitous slowdown, adding new downward pressure on future orders that were reflected in declining fourth-quarter final sales.
Capital spending was already falling in the third quarter, the first decline in more than three years.
Let's not forget that as Mr. Obama enters his fifth year in office, many states are still suffering from recession-leaning unemployment levels: California, the most populous state in the country, 9.8 percent; Florida, 8 percent; Georgia, 8.6 percent; Illinois, 8.7 percent; Nevada, 10.2 percent; North Carolina, 9.2 percent; South Carolina, 8.4 percent. Does this sound like "a solid recovery"?
People who are unemployed or underemployed mean less consumer spending and lower revenues that drive up federal budget deficits. That's not going to change anytime soon.
"The number of unemployed persons, at 12.2 million, was little changed in December," the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Jan. 4.
Labor force participation, however, is much lower today than when Mr. Obama took office, a major factor in the economy's underlying weakness, says University of Maryland business economist Peter Morici. Factor in "discouraged adults and others working part-time that would prefer full-time work, the unemployment rate is 14.4 percent," Mr. Morici says.
The White House and its allies blamed the economy's sharp decline on the looming budget cuts, but there is a lot of smoke and mirrors behind that excuse. The big cuts are yet to come, if Congress does not avert the budget-cutting sequester before March 1.
Defense industries have been cutting jobs, largely in anticipation of Pentagon cutbacks, but a spurt in higher defense spending in the third quarter pushed GDP to more than 3 percent. Of course, that level of spending was, in the final analysis, unsustainable.
We can't spend our way into prosperity, though that has been Mr. Obama's core stimulus policy prescription throughout his presidency and it has pushed us to the brink of another recession -- or the likelihood of four more years of subpar growth, high unemployment and an economy in decline.
"The economy has less momentum going into 2013 than initially thought, making it vulnerable to external shocks," warns Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group.
The worst is yet to come. The "fiscal cliff" deal that Mr. Obama signed into law last month, pushing the top income tax rates to Clinton-era levels and raising the tax on capital gains and dividends, will further weaken the economy.
The 2 percentage-point payroll tax cut was rescinded, taking a bigger bite out of every worker's paycheck at a time when the economy is still in a nosedive.
Nevertheless, Obama apologists are denying that the economy is in bad shape, characterizing the fourth-quarter GDP rate as an anomaly. "I don't think anything has fundamentally changed in the economy," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics.
"NBC Nightly News" with Brian Williams chose to ignore the story altogether Wednesday night, deciding this was of no interest to the American people. A half-hour in an unemployment line might change Mr. Williams' mind.

TLC's 'Breaking Amish' Confronting Cast History, Fraud Accusations in Reunion Special
Following reports that the reality series' stars were long separated from the Amish and Mennonite communities before filming, the popular show has plotted a two-part interview.
TLC's Breaking Amish cast is reuniting for a two-part special.
The move, a first for the network, follows strong ratings and interest for the reality series, which was accused of faking its cast's stories early in its current first season. All five castmembers, five formerly Amish and Mennonite individuals starting new lives in New York City, will return for a two-hour panel hosted by NBC's Michelle Beadle.
STORY: TLC's 'Breaking Amish' to Address Fraud Accusations in Series
Although the series has been billed as a fly-on-the-wall look at people fresh out of the Amish and Mennonite communities, reports citing photos on Facebook and Myspace claimed that the castmembers had long been integrated into mainstream society.
At the time, TLC released the following statement: "There is a lot of information floating around about the group featured on Breaking Amish. Much of it is not true, but some of it is -- and is addressed in upcoming episodes."
Although the extent of any fraud has yet to come to light during the series' run, which goes through Nov. 11, a release for the reunion says that will be a topic of discussion: "From drunken fights and hookups, to whether any of them have been married, have kids or have been arrested, it's a raw discussion revealing intimate details about their lives and relationships."
Q&A: TLC and Discovery Chief Eileen O'Neill on 'Honey Boo Boo': 'Some Things Are Easy to Pick On'
The 10-episode freshman run of Breaking Amish has thus far been a victory for TLC. Not only has every episode since the premiere topped 3 million viewers in its inaugural viewing, recent episodes have all hit a 1.3 rating with adults 18-49. That demo score matches the strong returns for zeitgeisting network sibling Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
No official decision has been made yet on a second season of the series.
Breaking Amish is produced by Hot Snakes Media for TLC, with Peacock Productions producing the reunion special.

How to Care for Leather Chair Seats
From office chairs to kitchen and dining room chairs, leather seating is beautiful and can maintain its beauty for a long time if cared for properly. All chair seats are subjected to food crumbs, food and drink spills and even perspiration. Removing these substances, especially liquid spills, from leather chairs is essential to prevent fading and damage to the leather. Cleaning and maintaining leather furniture rarely takes much time, if done regularly, and can protect your chairs and other leather furniture for many years.
Features of an Office Chair
When you sit at work all day, your office chair can make all the difference. An uncomfortable or improperly adjusted office chair can lead to aches and pains. Choosing the right office chair for you can, however, be difficult with so many options available. The following list of office chair features can help you decide which features you'd like your chair to have.
How to Pick an Office Chair to Reduce Back Pain
Most office workers sit at their desks all day in an office chair. Your office chair's level of comfort has the power to make your day fly by or drag on and on. Back pain caused by office chairs can be a major source of discomfort if you don't have the right kind of chair. While there's no one-chair-cures-all solution, it is possible to find an office chair that will help to ease your aching back. Look below to learn how to pick an office chair to reduce back pain.
Types of Ergonomic Chairs
If you spend hours at a desk every day, an ergonomic chair can make a big difference in your comfort and, therefore, your productivity. While the majority of ergonomic chairs used today are the basic desk chairs and computer chairs you see in offices everywhere, there are actually several different ergonomic office chairs available; some of which take a drastically different approach to keeping you comfortable than the typical ergonomic chair you're probably used to. Keep reading to learn about four Types of Ergonomic Chairs; one of which could be the right office chair for you.
Mesh Office Chair Care Tips
When it comes to sitting at a desk all day, your office chair can make a big difference. Mesh office chairs are one of the most comfortable types of office chair available. The mesh material molds to your body, creating a customized ergonomic seat. Mesh also allows for air flow, keeping you comfortable all day long. If you want your mesh office chair to take care of you, however, it's important to properly take care of it. The following tips can help you properly care for and maintain your quality office chair so you can get the most out of it.
How to Find Great Cheap Leather Chairs
Leather furniture adds a rich and comfortable atmosphere to any room, but leather can be expensive.

If you'd like a leather chair but you don't want to spend a lot of money, you'll just need to consider a few factors before you start shopping to make sure your affordable leather chair is a good choice for your home.
Tips on Selecting a Computer Chair
Look and brand name are important, but when selecting a computer chair, or any office chair or desk chair, appearance should not be your first priority; the most important aspects to consider when choosing an office chair are comfort and durability. If you have an office job or spend long periods of time at your computer each day, then it's important to have proper computer chair to ensure a productive work session. Take a look below for some tips on selecting a computer chair.
How to Find Comfortable Inexpensive Office Chairs
The combination of a comfortable work station and office chair is critical to your productivity and health.

Look below to learn how to find comfortable, inexpensive office chairs.
Office Chair Buying Guide
For people who sit at their desk for hours each day, a comfortable office chair is essential. An office chair should fit your body and work environment. Anyone who sits in at a desk every day, whether in a home office or a cubicle, knows that there are pains associated with desk jobs and the wrong desk chairs. Lower back pain, leg fatigue, headaches, sore shoulders and arms, concentration problems and pain in the knees and calves: the list of complaints is large. Eliminate these problems by identifying elements of office chairs that will help and not hinder. Some chairs look great, but the moment you're forced to sit in them for hours, their looks may be the only positive thing about them. How do you find comfortable office furnishings that will support you for hours? This office chair buying guide is here to help you with that question.
How to Adjust the Height of an Office Chair
There are different styles and designs of computer or office chairs. Most new models are adjusted pneumatically. Pneumatic office chairs have a lever or a button below the seat that you can push or pull to adjust the height. Older computer chair models can be adjusted by turning a thick bolt (these bolts usually have a thick plastic molded cover with finger grips). Adjusting the height of your office chair to fit your body type is very important. Back ache and pinched nerves can occur otherwise -- especially after long periods of sitting.
How to Choose a Desk Chair
Desk chairs are available in many shapes, sizes and colors. A good office chair helps prevent back, neck and even leg pain while you're sitting. Some desk chairs are made specifically for existing health problems. Other desk chairs focus on adjustability and customized comfort options. Choosing an office chair requires you to assess a few things about your lifestyle and environment. Look below to learn how to choose a desk chair.

Whether you're looking for dining chairs, kids' chairs, bar stools, lawn furniture or office chairs, both plastic and wood designs are available. Are you looking for bright colors, smooth curves or ornate styles? Each material has its benefits, so you can select the chairs that are the perfect furniture for your home.
Leather Chair Care
It's no surprise that leather chairs reside at the center of home style and fashion. These beautiful chairs are comfortable and look fabulous in any home. You usually see a leather chair sitting in a living room or library, and -- just like any other piece of furniture -- they need regular maintenance. Performing necessary leather chair care should be done on a regular basis. If you care for your leather furniture, it will reward you with many years of quality service.
How to Clean the Wheels of a Rolling Office Chair
Rolling task chairs are great for allowing you to move around your desk easily. But when the wheels of your office chair stop working well, the chair moves from being a convenience to being a struggle. The wheels often stop working because they become clogged with dirt, hair and other debris. Fortunately, cleaning the wheels of a rolling office chair is a simple task that can return your chair back to a pleasurable piece of furniture to use.
How to Care for Living Room Chairs
Whether your living room chairs are upholstered in leather, fabric, or microfiber, they will require some care. Each type of material has different needs. Here are a few maintenance tips to ensure your chairs will last for many years.

Very first label (finally) using GIMP. SWMBO and I collaborated on the elements. It's still missing ABV% and other small things but that'll come in time.
I'd love some feedback. Is there anything missing? Something that could be changed? Also, big question: can I bend text into an arch in gimp instead of doing the slope like I did? THANKS!
It's a chocolate peppermint sweet stout. Hope you all get the reference (we've been watching Christmas movies every night this last week)
Here's a label just finished up for a beer that SWMBO will be giving out to family at Christmas
ArticBrewer - Love it!
Simple, crisp and classic looking. Sounds delicious.
Heres my logo... My logo as a label on my bottles, and draft tower...
Brew Heads
Website will be up soon... There will be some pretty sweet stuff.
This is fantastic. Even better than the beer goggles one. I love the bubbles theme.

Undercounter filter on existing faucet?
I have a regular faucet and one that came with the under counter water filtration system. Can I just have the water filter installed to the cold water line of the regular faucet? It looks too cluttered to me to have the two faucets on this little bar sink. Or is there some reason I need a special dedicated faucet? Thanks!
I would also consider flow rates. RO and undercounter filter systems I have experienced seem to have much lower flow rates, and you may not like that part. If you could get a faucet with selectable input, that might be your ticket, if you want the single faucet.
I have never seen one, but I am sure they exist in the higher end.
Hey lafacia, you can indeed have a filter for just the cold water line... this is something I decided to do. In agonizing over a dedicated filtered water faucet (hard to find a minimal design I was okay with, and also hated the thought of cluttering the sink area), I came across this 3M full flow water filter (model 3MFF100).
I'll link to the product information page below... I ended up purchasing from Amazon. It's a bit spendy, but I think it'll be worth it. The filtered water is going to the faucet and also split to the SZ ice maker.
Good luck!

Hi Foxcrane. We're planning on splitting our filter with the ice maker too. I was thinking of having the filtered water come out of the prep sink vs. the regular sink since it would likely be needed when eating on the island. What faucet did you end up with? Is it a tri fold or is it a regular faucet where only the cold water is filtered?
Hi Lafacia,
We have a Filtrete drinking water filtration system on our cold water under the kitchen sink very similar to the one above posted by FoxCrane. We bought the Filtrete system at Lowes. I believe it was about $60 some dollars for the system. We buy our Filtrete refills at Lowes as well for about $32. You change the filter every 6 months or when you see a significant decrease in water flow.
My husband installed it very easily and mounted it to the cabinet. It reminded me of a big Britta filter in design. We used to have a faucet mounted Britta but it ruined our faucet neck with the weight. We switched to the above system and we couldn't be happier.
The link to the Lowes site was unavailable so I just posted the refill at HD

The 3M filter I linked to above was installed in my kitchen, and it runs pretty well so far. The flow of the cold water is still nice and powerful, though only slightly less powerful than the hot water. I could not smell or taste any of the usual odors that come from my tap water, and feel much better about drinking the tap water from the faucet. I'd totally buy it again.

Aged for 12 months in the same oak regime as the regular Chenin Blanc with the fruit picked a little riper, the 2010 Reserve Chenin Blanc has a well-defined bouquet with very well integrated oak and hints of hazelnut and spice. It has a very well balanced palate with powerful citrus fruits laced with lemon curd, orange essence, apricot and brioche that dovetail into a precise finish. This Chenin comes highly recommended, especially for the price. Drink now-2017+

Radiotracking Large Wilderness Mammals: Integration of GPS and Argos Technology
Free registration required
Executive Summary
It tested 30 prototype Global Positioning System (GPS) radiocollars on brown bears (Ursus arctos) over a 3-year period on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. Collars were of 2 design types: GPS units with an Argos (Argos Data collection and Location System) satellite uplink (n = 19) and GPS units where the data were stored on board (n = 10) for retrieval at a later date. All units also contained a conventional VHF (very high frequency) transmitter and weighed 1.7 kg. GPS-Argos units obtained 10-82% of expected GPS fixes, and fix rate declined significantly (P < 0.05) with time after deployment.

My Grandson by marriage and my Granddaughter came down with my Great Granddaughter and my new Great Grandson two weeks ago. *I am "Innocent" of getting him addicted when we went back to the range and began shooting some AR Rifles. 223/5.56, 6.5 Grendel, 458 SOCOM and 308. Needless to say he liked the weapons and shooting and owns his own Taurus 809 9mm Pistol. (Me not being guilty of anything!) He went ballistic over the AR Rifles since he had never fired one before! You know the rest of the story!
When he got back to Indiana he went out and purchased a Stag Arms Lower Receiver and then called me. Grandpa when are we going to build me one of those? He will be coming back down to TN soon and Grampa is going to assist him in building his first AR Rifle. It will be in 223/5.56 Cal. with the following.
Rock River Arms R-3 Competition Upper Assembly 18" 1:8 Stainless Cryo Fluted Barrel with longer RRA TRO-X Free Float with Top Rail,Tuned Ported Muzzle Break, Low Profile Gas Block
Stag Arms Lower
RRA Lower Parts Kit
Rock River Arms 2 Stage Chrome National Match or JP Adj.Target Trigger (His Choice!)
Hogue Rubber Pistol Grip
Star Selector
KNS Anti Rotate Trigger and Hammer Pins
RRA 6 Position Collapsible Stock
Leupold or other quality Tac Scope. Or EOTech 512 Holographic Sight (His Choice)
He is looking at a tac scope at the present in the 3X Range.
ARMS Front and Rear Sights if needed?
This will make him a fine first AR!
I am excited about helping him and seeing his excitement and sense of achievement when completed, as well as his reaction to seeing the accuracy it will produce!
The Constitution is not an instrument for the Government to restrain the people. It is an instrument for the people to restrain the Government!

Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."

A "fine AR". Are you kidding. That will make him a GREAT AR. Good for Grandpa.
fine is bad choice of words ... hes lucky to have someone care so much to gather that amount of outstanding parts.... when its done we expect a range report.. and PICTURES!!!
will do!
That is a beautiful thing!
I grew up in a family that hated firearms. I've converted a few but most are still unwilling to try to understand them. They just believe that only police officers and gang bangers have guns..
I hope to me a grandpa like you. To share this lifestyle with my holster and their children. And I hope they include me in the lives (and rifle builds) like yours does..
You seem to have a beautiful family. Congratulations.

Thank you for the kind words!
Coming from a long line of gun owners and shooter it is hard for me to understand the all out uneducated position some take. Most of it as you stated, is due to them never having the opportunity of someone taking the time to introduce them to a new experience. And listening to the ever present "fear mongering" of the Liberal Politicians in office today and their supporters. It is amazing however, when some get to experience the shooting sport and learn that guns are not bad it is those abuse them that are bad, how some are amazed of a new found love for the activity. I have had the pleasure of introducing several people to the shooting and target shooting sport over the years and now their views are totally changed. Some have became what some people would call Gun Nuts! "In a good way mind you"! I was introduced at around 4-5 years old by my Grandfather who was an avid hunter and fisherman. Then there was the Military and a carrier in Law Enforcement. I have been blessed with my family as you referred to! I shoot and fish and my Wife, three Sons, Daughter, most of my Grand Children all own and shoot guns! In the near future if God allows me the 2 Great Grandkids will own weapons "for sure" and be introduced to the sport and the correct safety, ownership and responsibility of owning weapons. So good luck to you and glad to hear you enjoy the shooting sport and gun ownership. Be an example and influence to all you can in a good, safe and proper way! It is also very important that others become introduced for the simple reason of the protection of our Second Amendment Rights! "Their Votes!
Just out of curiosity, what BCG is being used?

Largest Leaf Acer japonicum - Opinions
plantmarker(z7 NC)April 26, 2011
Hi Folks -
I am seeking opinions on the Acer japonicum cultivar with the largest leaves.
Many thanks.
Wood's #2 get's my vote for now though there's another named 'Giant Moon' which I understand is very large. I have a few specimens of 'Attaryi' and while my plants are young, the leaves on my specimens aren't especially large.
I'd love photos here and will post some of my own as Spring moves along.

The Wolves and Moose of Isle Royale Isle Royale National Park The Wolves and Moose of Isle Royale Isle Royale is located in the northwest portion of Lake Superior. It is 45 miles long and 9 miles wide. Isle Royale is home to a population of wolves and moose. These wolves are the sole predator of the moose, and moose represent ~90% of the wolves' diet. The wolves, the moose, and their interactions have been studied continuously and intensively since 1958. This is the longest study of any predator-prey system in the world… Why so special? • If Isle Royale were smaller than it is, it would be too small to support a wolf population. • If Isle Royale were larger than it is, it would be too large to effectively study the moose population. • If Isle Royale were further from the mainland than it is, wolves and moose may never have made it to Isle Royale. • If Isle Royale were closer to the mainland than it is, other species which are not on Isle Royale, such as coyotes, deer, and bear, might have complicated the species interactions. Moose first came to Isle Royale in about the year 1900. They probably swam to Isle Royale. In a typical year, Isle Royale has ~1000 moose. During the summer moose eat enormous amounts of food (~40 lbs per day) and will increase its body weight by ~25%. All of this weight is lost each winter. Although the maximum life span of a moose is ~17 years, most moose die before reaching 9 years of age. The difficulties of being a moose are numerous... avoid being killed by wolves, endure loads of blood-sucking and life- draining ticks, feed in the summer heat that moose find sweltering, all while trying to build up enough fat to make it through the brutal winters. Other than the strong bond between mother and calf, moose are solitary animals. Wolves first came to Isle Royale in about the year 1950. They arrived by walking on an ice bridge from Canada. In a typical year, Isle Royale has ~24 wolves living in three packs. While a wolf is able to live for 12 years, most die before their 4th birthday. The most common causes of death are starvation and being killed by other wolves. When wolves kill wolves they are - ultimately - fighting over food. Wolves hunt in packs and are very territorial. When a wolf is killed by another wolf, it is because of a territory dispute. The territory size relates to the amount of food available to the pack. Classic predator-prey interaction… Click graph for animation …or is it? Other Factors Affecting Moose and Wolf Populations Once snow depth exceeds 30 cm (the average belly height of moose calves) predation rates go up significantly. Yearling moose also are slowed down by deep snow. Moose Ticks - each the size of your fingernail when fully engorged - have a profound effect on the health of the moose population. In normal situations, moose are almost starved by the end of the long, cold winters. Ticks weaken moose even more and by the end of the winter many starve to death or are easy targets for wolf predation. During winter, balsam fir comprises 30-60% of a moose's diet. Balsam fir is not very nutritious, but is it relatively abundant - so moose eat it. Since balsam fir is such an important part of a moose's winter diet, the moose and forest are connected importantly through balsam fir...
