New Orleans Hornets (5-17) at Portland Trail Blazers (10-12), 9 p.m.
(Sports Network) - The Portland Trail Blazers put their two-game winning
streak on the line Sunday night when they host the struggling New Orleans
After surrendering the first road victory of the season to Sacramento Kings on
Dec. 8, Portland bested the Toronto Raptors and San Antonio Spurs to get on
this run of good ball.
Against the Spurs on Thursday, and without starting shooting guard Wesley
Matthews, who is out with a strained left hip flexor, rookie Damian Lillard
led the way. He scored 29 points, handed out six assists, grabbed seven
rebounds and shot 50 percent from the field.
"I think I've had a few games better even though this is the most points I've
scored," said Lillard. "I think this was the best I've done in a game we
really needed. That says a lot about our team to win against the Spurs, but
I've played better games."
LaMarcus Aldridge had 22, while J.J. Hickson posted a double-double with 12
points and 12 rebounds. Matthews' status for Sunday is unknown. He didn't
practice on Saturday and told reporters, "It's going to be a tough call
The Hornets begin a four-game road trip Sunday and are struggling. They are in
the throes of a six-game losing streak and haven't won away from home since
Nov. 26.
New Orleans' most recent loss came at home to the Minnesota Timberwolves on
Friday night, 113-102. Nikola Pekovic destroyed the Hornets with 31 points and
Minnesota had 70 points in the paint.
"It's unfortunate. We needed this win right before we hit this road trip.
We're playing some tough teams on the road, but it is what it is," said guard
Austin Rivers. "There's nothing we can do about it now. We just have to keep
our heads up. It's a long season and anything can turn it around."
Rivers' play has turned around. Reinserted into the starting lineup, Rivers
has scored in double-figures in four of his last five, including a career-high
27 points against the Wolves.
This game features four of the top-11 picks in the past NBA Draft with No. 1
overall selection Anthony Davis, who is back, and No. 10 Rivers for the
Hornets, and sixth choice Lillard and 11th pick Meyers Leonard for Portland.
The Trail Blazers swept all four games last season.

VIENNA, Va., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- This past Saturday, Mexico's newly elected President, Enrique Pena Nieto, received Mexico's Presidential sash from former President Felipe Calderon. Later that day at the Transition of Power Ceremony in Mexico's capital city, Mexican officials and worldwide dignitaries gathered to watch him assume his new role. Along with the United States senior representative Vice President Joe Biden, MicroTech's President & CEO, Tony Jimenez, was one of the few American businessmen invited to the event.
"It's quite an honor to be one of only a small handful of U.S. business leaders invited to Mexico's Presidential Inauguration," said Jimenez. "Being able to witness former President Felipe Calderon hand his power over to President Enrique Pena Nieto and help Mexico in its IT endeavors for future growth and success is a real blessing. I am confident this new collaborative relationship will be prosperous for the United States, Mexico, and MicroTech."
The Washington Post's William Booth described the scene at the Mexican Congress saying, "..Calderon removed the green, white and red sash of office and passed it to Pena Nieto." This signified the transition of power from the 12 years of the PAN (Partido Accion Nacional) party back to the party Nieto belongs to, PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional), which has ruled Mexico from 1929 to 2000.
Mexico's new transition of power symbolizes their push towards new and better horizons. After he took office, President Nieto voiced his goals to help citizens rise from poverty to take their place on the international stage. He said, "We are a nation that is going at two different speeds. There's a Mexico of progress and development. But there's another, too, that lives in the past and in poverty…Mexico has not achieved the advances its people demand and deserve."
MicroTech's recent business expansion, MicroTech International, is currently working on strategic partnerships within Mexico to provide technological capabilities to the growing country in their time of ascension. Jimenez said, "This new transition will bring in a virtuous and revolutionary change for the Mexican Government and its people. Mexico's new focus on peace, prosperity, and innovation will further sanctify and strengthen MicroTech's new business expansion into Mexico."
MicroTech provides Technology Services, Network Systems Integration, Product Solutions, Cloud Computing, Unified Communications & Collaboration, Cyber Security, Mobility, and Social Media Solutions as well as leadership/management skills courses, business simulations and vital industry certifications as part of MicroTech University to commercial enterprises, along with the public sector — managing more than half-a-million technology users daily.

GLENWOOD, IA. — The Missouri River offers no border at all in this case, even when gushing out of its banks in a historic summer flood.
And the speed bump of the Loess Hills certainly hasnt slowed the Cornhusker creep into western Iowa.
With the Iowa Hawkeyes and Nebraska Cornhuskers ready to face off today in their inaugural Heroes Game matchup as Big Ten rivals, its about time we updated the Midwest map to reflect sheer geographic reality: A significant swath of western Iowa, particularly southwest Iowa, might as well be annexed into eastern Nebraska.
Just ask Mike Cap, owner of the Kegler Lounge and Midwest Lanes bowling alley in Glenwood. Big Red hype blankets this Mills County seat whose 5,269 residents represent a jumble of university sports allegiances.
It is overkill constantly Husker this, Husker that, Cap says.
Consider that Cap himself is a native Nebraskan and dedicated Husker, not just ax-grinding on behalf of the Hawkeyes. On this momentous game day when he will throw open his doors at 9 a.m., Cap also intends to have constructed an actual fence inside his barroom to keep the peace.
Im thinking of running one right down the middle, he explains, slicing a hand through the air.
However temporary and tenuous, Caps proposed border fence might be the only way to neatly delineate the Husker-Hawk boundaries in Glenwood let alone across both states.
For arguments sake, Lincolns suburbs probably disperse in terms of school spirit somewhere around Atlantic. Lets say U.S. Highway 71.
No surprise that Council Bluffs is the top city in Iowa for University of Nebraska alumni in terms of sheer numbers (354 out of 4,145 statewide, although the Des Moines metro as a whole claims a larger share). But Glenwoods 81 alumni means that, proportionate to population, its more saturated by Huskers.
The signature red-and-white N flags flapping in the breeze are easy to spot on a ramble around town.
Glenwood residents I spoke to tend to favor one of two main theories: Their town either is split almost evenly between Huskers and Hawks or is sliced into thirds with the Iowa State University Cyclones given a tad more credit. (And everybody seems to know at least one fan of Oklahoma, Texas, Michigan or Michigan State.)
Friendly rivalries churn between neighbors or even within the same household.
Richard and Julie Stephens proudly fly a 3-by-5-foot Hawkeye flag on the north side of town. But one of Julies best friends in Glenwood, Pam Horton, can recite her Husker season tickets in the south end zone of Memorial Stadium from memory: Section 16C, Row 8, seats 9 and 10. She attends games with her sister, who lives next door. Hortons brother who lives in her basement apartment, Doug Zanders, was a Cornhusker football player 40 years ago.
Another actual Cornhusker: Brent Von Essen, a loan officer at Glenwood State Bank, played wingback for Tom Osborne from 1984 to 1987. His three sons, ages 8, 12 and 14, all are devout Huskers even though Von Essens wife, DeeEtte, is a University of Iowa grad.
Marie Schmitt insists that her 13-year-old son, Dan who already towers at nearly 6 feet tall will be a future Husker.
Schmitt and her family moved to Glenwood a year ago. She grew up on a farm near Prague, Neb., where she spent Saturday mornings cleaning out the chicken coop with the radio cranked up on the tractor so I could hear the game.
Now she boldly claims to be the biggest Husker fan in the state, not merely Glenwood. Schmitt has a bet with a Hawkeye household down the street for the Heroes Game: Whichever family backs the losing team has to run the enemy flag up its front-yard pole.
She zips around southwest Iowa as a district manager for Avon, decked out in her Mama, dont let your babies grow up to be Hawkeyes T-shirt.
I have been surprised at how many Nebraska fans are here, she says of Glenwood. I didnt anticipate that.
Too true, says Steve Criswell, much to his chagrin. This is the guy in Glenwood nicknamed Hawkeye.
It just eats at me, he says of the influx of Husker move-ins. Ive got friends that are Cyclone fans, and I can tolerate them on certain occasions.
Criswell attended his first game at Kinnick in 1960, back when he and his father could ride the train from Omaha to Iowa City.
When they stayed at home, his father used to diagram the game as (sportscaster Jim) Zabel would call it a yellow legal pad scrawled full of little dots and dashes to follow the play action.
In recent years, Criswell has been a familiar site at the Kegler on game days, where hes been known to be too nervous to sit down. He once preferred to stand and grip a particular wooden spindle near the front door, so when that corner of the barroom was remodeled, Cap bestowed Criswell with the spindle as a sacred totem of his Hawkeye love.
Criswell still has the spindle but says hes more resigned as I get older that the sun does come up.
He turns 61 on Sunday and hopes his beloved Hawkeyes will deliver him a fitting birthday present. A Huskers win would tip Glenwoods delicate balance of fandom in Big Reds favor. My only fear is living with all the Nebraska fans around here for the next year, Criswell frets.
I suppose he could borrow the Keglers fencing and barricade himself inside his home at least for the remainder of the holiday weekend.
The long-term solution would be to concede Glenwood to the Huskers and move east of Highway 71.

In a celebration of culture and tradition on the birthday of the founder of the Baha'i faith, Lakota hoop dancers shared their talents and stories with the public at the Sunset Playhouse on Saturday.
Loren Ritacca, a Baha'i Elm Grove resident who helped organize the event, said the dance was a fitting celebration of their holiday because of the variety of cultures that have adopted the Baha'i faith. Baha'u'llah, who founded the religion in the 1860s, believed all religions were stages in the revelation of God's will and could ultimately unify.
"Baha'is embrace the oneness of mankind," Ritacca said. "Cardinal principles in the faith are unity and diversity, and so many people don't know very much about Native Americans."
Ritacca estimated there are about five Baha'is in Elm Grove and about 20 in Brookfield, but the event was free to the wider public, paid for by the Baha'i community. More than 100 people, from toddlers to seniors, filled the theater.
Healing together
Dallas Chief Eagle, who is Baha'i, came from South Dakota to lead the program. He said he hoped the night of sharing would help build allies in mending what he called a broken hoop — a disconnect from nature, history and family. For his community, he said, the break has led to abuse, addiction, bullying and suicide.
"People need to know that mending the hoop is a very serious effort because it's busted up so much," he said. "We're trying to be responsible for mending our own hoop. That means we have to get to know each other, and know each other's pain."
His daughter Starr Chief Eagle, who said her friend recently died by suicide, called upon the audience to reach out to those around them who may be suffering.
"Tell your kids every day you love them. Some kids don't hear that from their parents," she said. "If you see a random person, a stranger, smile. That smile could save that person's life."
In their performances, the father and daughter linked hoops together into the form of wings, domes and cocoons as they danced and spun.
The dancers also taught volunteers from the audience to make wings, and then picked out the two kids who could stay frozen for the longest. The winners sat in a nest of rings as the other kids swarmed them and lifted them into the air as trees.
Facing the truth
"Many of us are removed from our larger family, and deal with the big loneliness," Dallas Chief Eagle said. "I felt we made some new friends tonight that are going to be instrumental in going through transitions."
Between dances, he talked about suffering on reservations nationwide, and of the need for partners in healing. He said many of the representations of Native Americans, like in museums and classrooms, are romanticized. Instead, he said, it's important to have honest conversations about problems and solutions.
"It feels like they have us frozen in time, but we're living and breathing people trying to get out of this predicament we're in," he said. "We've got layers of suffering and hurt, but underneath it all, there's some good things happening. We're preserving our culture and values."

Two new roosters
I was delighted this afternoon to receive a call from a friend. Out of 20 chicks she got this spring, 4 are roosters. Would I take one?
I currently have 14 hens and one rooster. He fathered the one chick who successfully hatched under my broodies last fall, but this summer three hens have spent weeks upon weeks setting with not a single egg even beginning to develop! So I was definitely in the market for a new rooster who might get the job done.
Well, when I got to her house with my cat carrier, she decided I should just take the two Easter-egger boys. I didn't really want two new roosters, but somehow I got caught up in the excitement of isolating and catching them and now I have two new roosters in a dog kennel in the barn.
The minute I brought them into the barn (not in the chickens' stall, mind you) the chatter began between Egglebert and the new guys. He's two years old, the new guys are about 4 months.
Have I made a terrible mistake? My plan is to keep them in the dog kennel for a couple of days outside the chickens' pen, then move the kennel into the pen, and eventually open the door so they can mix in. I guess I'll see how it goes.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Since the new boys are only 4 months, it might be hard for Egglebert ( :)great name by the way) to accept them. I would definitely keep them in the kennel for a few days, even a couple weeks, as long as they have enough room to flap and move around a bit.
if they dont, maybe put up a makeshift run for them so they are in the yard with the chickens, and your older rooster can still see them, but they are protected.
at some point you'll have to introduce them, and Egglebert will most likely not be happy about it. you'll just have to see what happens. some boys are more aggressive than others, and they may fight a lot to establish some order. just watch and make sure its not getting way out of hand (if its getting bloody, distasterous, you know). if it is, its probably not a good idea to have them together...
hope it works out!!!
I'll tell you, I've started to look around for a home for one of the new roosters. I just don't think it's going to be good. The two new guys have established an order in their cage, and the top one is pretty aggressive. No bloodshed (as yet), but he's making his point. I don't think I want to see three of them fighting.
Anyone near southwest Michigan want a lovely, young rooster?!
The two new boys were in too tight of quarters in the dog crate, and one was clearly picking on the other, so this morning I decided that I was keeping the more submissive one (partly because I knew I could pick him up!). My intention was to put him in a different dog crate within the chickens' pen for a few days, but he had other ideas and jumped out into the midst of all the other chickens. What a scene.
My chicken pen in the barn has two "rooms", so at present Egglebert has his hens in a corner of the larger room, and Tweedledum is in the smaller room. The cackling is astounding. I had to bring my younger dog into the house because she kept barking "just let me in there!"
I think that they will work this out in not too long of a time. Now I have to find a home for the other young rooster. Or someone who will take him off my hands (I don't eat chicken).
Hooray! I've found a home for Tweedledee through a friend and I'll deliver him tomorrow (Sunday).
Tweedledum is in with the rest of the flock, though they haven't mixed yet. He's not being constantly harassed, though, and I know it will work out with time.
It's all gone well.

Rating: 1/5Sony Vaio computer
This review is from: SONY VAIO E Series VPCEB3AFX/BJ NoteBook Intel Pentium dual-core P6100 (2.00GHz) 4GB Memory 320GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 15.5" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Pros: I bought two Vaio computer from Newegg. Both of them have problem. I sent one to my country and its LAN port does not work from the beginning. Other one is about 35 days old and its touch pad does not work. I think Newegg is selling all the low quality refurbished product in a low price. I have bought so many products from newegg so far. But I am never going to buy anything from newegg.
Cons: None of the newegg product turned out good for me.
Other Thoughts: If anyone wants to buy expensive elctronics such as notebooks. its better to buy from local retailers.

Make homemade bath products as gifts for friends and loved ones! These easy DIY bath bombs from Maria Williamson are simple and thrifty gifts.
- 1/2 cup Cornstarch
- 1/2 cup Citric acid (any soap supply or craft store should have this)
- 1 cup Baking soda
- 2 tsp Shea Butter (any soap supply or craft store should have this)
- 1 tsp water
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
- Bowl
- Mold (can be anything really, use your imagination. I use Christmas tree balls from the craft store)
- 2-4 tsp essential oil or fragrance oil (be sure it is for use on skin, not the stuff for potpourri burners)
- Food color or liquid soap color
Mix Baking soda, Cornstarch and Citric acid together. Slowly drizzle melted Shea butter (can be melted in the microwave) and Fragrance oil in the middle of the mixture and blend well. Add water and soap safe dye or food color. (The mix will fizz a little, this is ok.) Blend Well. It will look like this:
Now you will knead your mix and mold.
You will want to scoop up a lot of the mix like so in each half. You will have some mix left over, you can actually let it dry and then use for a fizzing bath powder.
Then squish them together like so, it will release easier if you tap one side before trying to unmold. This part will take practice.
- Set them on wax paper to dry overnight and there you have it. Drop one or two in a tub of running water and enjoy.

I am interested in finding out where to buy supplies as I live in a tiny town in Northern Canada. Thanks folks
the measrements are given under "materials". but it didn't say how many it made unless i missed it! i know it's dependant on the mold. but how many did u get using the Christmas balls? these would make nice favors for our teacher & staff lucnch in Feb. We are having pizza and heart shaped sugar cookies and i hope to find some one to do choc. covered strawberries!!! i have a very nice bath set to give as a door prize. all it needs is some soaps and things and this looks like a great place to find some homemade things to add! thanks!
@auntiehoney 1798307, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have updated the materials list to include measurements required for each item. We apologize for any inconvenience, --editor of FaveCrafts
How much of what is needed? I'm pretty sure this is an essential piece of information in order for this to come out correctly.
No quantities for any of the ingredients are given. Since measuring cups and spoons are listed, it would be logical to think a measurement is involved.

Millionbells from seed
Has anyone grown millionbells (calibrachoa) from seed? I could be wrong but it looks like several have self sown in one if my planters from last year.... Unless they are all some kind of weed :)
-for all those professional growers out there- nothing to fear, I'm not going to corner the market on millionbells this year since they're still mighty tiny, and I'm sure I'll spend way too much time growing these on..... but they're there now and it's just something I need to do! Lol
I don't know of a source to buy Calibrachoa seed, and they aren't usually grown from seed, except by Calibrachoa breeders. Yours should be fine, but they may vary considerably from their parent, because of their extensive hybridized breeding.
This could be your start in being your own Calibrachoa breeder. But even if you find some nice new ones and save seeds from them, you probably will see some more variation from the parent. Variation isn't necessarily bad -- it can occasionly produce better new things. I experience the same thing in my zinnia breeding hobby.
Interesting, thanks!
I thought that might be the case that they're not available from seed, but wasn't sure why. I thought since I never have actually seen them produce seed on my plants I just thought they were some kind of sterile hybrid.
I'll see if I can focus long enough to get them transplanted and grow them out... I'm curious to see what comes of it! I don't see any future as a calibrachoa breeder but I always like to see where these things end up.
If I manage to transplant safely, keep them alive, grow them on, and get blooms I'll report back.
That's a lot of ifs, the most likely scenario is dried out skeletons forgotten somewhere on the deck, or that they actually turn out to be some tiny new weed, but wish me luck :)
PLEASE do report back. I have over 250 petunias that self seeded this season. The variation is amazing.
The interesting thing, to me anyway, is what month your seeds actually dropped to the ground and what month did they germinate and if the seeds went through a severe winter.
The most challenging thing for me and perhaps my break through regarding petunia seedlings was realizing they were not weeds. We, here, have a weed whose seedling looks just like a petunia. I have to wait until the seedling grows a little. If it gets a slight gray tone on the newest leaves, it's the weed.
This post was edited by bugbite on Tue, Jun 10, 14 at 9:34
Hi bugbite, the seed must have dropped last fall since I think I cut the plants down after things froze. They're coming up in a large pot which was left out all winter in the snow and ice down to about -10F.
I also have a bunch of snapdragons and blue salvia farinacea seedlings coming up. I know what you mean about the variation, hybrids usually put out a lot of interesting seed. The snapdragons were a dark red strain last year but the seedlings look like they're a mix of colors based on the stems of the seedlings.
I was planning a different look for the deck this year, but it's hard to send all these little guys to the compost. Probably a good thing in the long run, my taste in colors doesn't amount to much and random seedlings are probably going to give a better look than anything I would come up with!
There was some weird alignment of the stars and everything came together well enough for me to get these little guys to bloom. I would say they were just as easy as petunias, although I think they would have appreciated more fertilizer than I gave them.... since they look a little pale.
I put about four little teaspoons of plants in this pot since they were too small for me to have the patience to separate out individual plants. As you can see, a few selfsown snapdragons snuck in.
Thanks for the great pictures. Beautiful flowers both years.
I have the geraniums in your picture which turned out to be my best new plant this year. For some reason in early spring Lowe's marked these down from $3.59 to 50 cents. So I grabbed 6.
Back to the Millionbells: I took a tiny paint brush and tried to spread the pollen on my best petunia volunteers. I did get some promising seeds.
Since these reproduced you might help mother nature and help them pollinate if you want to try to get these again next year.
I've had these self seed for the past 2-3 years. I just left the dried stems in the pots and crunched the dried flower heads. They bloomed beautifully but did not survive my summer vacation this year. I hope that they will bless me with a return next season.

2. Description of the Prior Art Various devices have been designed to allow accurate and easy adjustment of the angular position of optical elements such as mirrors, for use with lasers. Such a device is described in US. Pat. No. 3,334,959, issued to E. J. Walsh. A problem associated with such devices is their mechanical instability. Vibration from surroundings, for example, is a significant contributing factor to the noise level in laser outputs.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the invention, an adjustable holder for optical elements, for use with lasers, exhibits excellent mechanical stability, which is achieved by employment of a beam bent within its elastic limit, to support the optical element. In this condition, further beam deflection is primarily torsional. Such torsional motion is then used as the principal means of achieving slight angular adjustment of the element with relation to a central axis.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a plan view of an illustrative embodiment of the inventive device;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the device shown in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the device shown in FIG. 1, wherein the optical element is shown in a condition of adjustment different from that shown in FIG. 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring to the drawing, there is shown an illustrative embodiment of the inventive adjustable mirror device, comprising a circular mirror 10, or other optical element such as a crystal, which is firmly mounted within the central aperture of an annular holder 11. The holder 11, in turn, is securedwithin an aperture of a frame 12 by a bent beam 13 of length l, width and thickness t, which operates in the flexural mode to bias the holder 11 in the direction of the central axis of the frame aperture. Two leaf springs 14 and 15 provide additional bias.
The bent beam 13 may be of any elastic spring material such as phosphor bronze, which has a length equal to from 0.85 to 1.10 times its width and a thickness of from 0.09 to 0.140 times its width, the exact length and thickness depending upon the adjusting range desired and the elastic limit (maximum stress without permanent set) of the desired spring material. Increasing the length or decreasing the thickness of the beam increases the adjusting range, but exceeding the limits specified results in the likelihood of appearance of unwanted vibrational modes. Decreasing the length or increasing the thickness decreases the adjusting range, and too short or too thick a beam would be so stiff as to make difficult the fine adjustments contemplated.
In general, loading should be from 65 to 95 percent of the elastic limit, below which unwanted vibrational modes are likely and above which permanent set is likely with large adjustments. Of course, it will be appreciated that within the tilts the holder on an axis defined by the beam and the other head, resulting in torsional motion 0 the beam, so that optical element 10 can be located precisely perpendicularly to the central axis of the light path or to any other desired inclination, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, respectively.
Three metal blocks 20, 21 and 22 are mounted on the frame 12. Blocks 21 and 22 are about apart and each supports one of the micrometer heads. Block 20 is located about equidistant from blocks 21 and 22 and supports the bent beam 13. The two leaf springs 14 and 15 are attached to the frame 12. The frame may be made of hard aluminum, a stainless steel such as Invar, or other metal which can be accurately machined to high tolerances and which will withstand considerable use with little wear, with precut notches 23 and 24, to receive micrometer heads 16 and 17. Of course, numerous other materials could alternatively be used. I
It will be appreciated that various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. For example, simple adjusting screws may be used in place of the micrometer heads. Any number or combination of adjusting means and springs may be used. Accordingly, the springs need not be directly opposite the adjusting means. Of course, certain advantages adhere in the preferred embodiment, such as simplicity, and ease and accuracy of adjustment.
What 1 claim is: 1. An adjustable optical device comprising: a frame having a central aperture which defines a central axis; an optical element attached to a holder; means for supporting the holder within the aperture substantially transverse to the central axis; means for mechanically biasing the holder in the direction of the central axis; and means for inclining the holder with respect to the central axis comprising at least two adjusting members mounted to the frame and having end portions which extend into the aperture, said end portions bearing against the holder in opposition to the mechanical bias of the biasing means; characterized in that: said means for supporting the holder consists essentially of a single beam, the beam extending from the holder to the frame along a first axis defined by a radius extending outwardly from and normal to the central axis, the beam having a length L along said axis, and further having a thickness T along a second axis normal to the first axis and normal to the largest surface of the beam, the beam further having a width W along a third axis normal to the first and second axis, said length being 0.85 to 1.10 times the width, and the width being seven times the thickness, the beam being bent along said first axis to within 65-95 percent of the load at its elastic limit.

No worries, I wrote on my own whiteboard accidentally! Your wife should visit again and maybe change her mind. I think it's easier once you're a little older. Great for raising children. Some retire elsewhere and I'm not sure if I will leave or stay when that time comes. Many factors to be considered and way too soon to make a plan.

Hood against external wall - external blower or not?
I've read many of the posts on ventilation, but I am still a bit confused.
We need a wall mounted hood for a 6 burner 36" range top. The range top is against an external wall, so the hood will duct directly outside. On the one hand it sounds like an external blower is the way to go, and yet I often read that with such a short duct, an external blower will not be much quieter.
My concern is smoke over noise, which is why I'm thinking a minimum 900 cfm with 8" duct, with the hood as deep as possible (21 - 24"). But if we can, isn't an exterior blower better even if it ducts directly outside?
There are no cabinets on this wall, so I'm looking at a chimney style hood. Any suggestions beyond what I've noted above? Right now I'm looking at a Broan model, 2 Bests, and a KA, all of which have an external blower as an option.
Thank you!
We have a Broan E60000? unit. 36" Hood, with 1200CFM External motor. I thought it would be quieter to go external. There probably isn't much of a difference. Cleaning the hood/baffles is very easy with the external blower since there is is no motor inside the hood to get greasy.
TonySak, thank you, I didn't know the cleaning would be easier. Since we can do an external blower, that's a plus in that direction.
I think that is one we are looking at right now, the Broan Elite 619004EX. The other option is one by Best, model KEX4236SS. There's a big difference in price, so I'm trying to figure out if it is worth it.
Links in case anyone is interested:
For the money i think it was well worth it. The only thing to consider is the external fan units are rather large (maybe 15" x20"I would look it up). Its not bad for us more or less hidden in the back, plus i think it looks cool, but you might consider external appearance. That would be the only draw back. They are printable though.
