I have a home project here to bury my rain gutters (120 foot run) around the house and therefore have a need to rent a compact excavator. However, per the Best Line Equipment page that machine weighs 3655 lbs.
I thought no problem given our trucks are rated for 6500lbs of towing capacity and my truck does have the towing package. However per the guy at Bestline, they use a 2 axle 7,000 lb capacity utility trailer which is were the rub lies. Per him, that trailer weights near 3,500 lbs. So that plus the 3655 lbs puts me at 7155 lbs which is obviously over the 6,500 lbs towing capacity rated for our trucks. I'm a bit disappointed and was sort of looking forward to towing it with my truck, but was wondering has anyone attempted it with no issues? I doubt they would even let me leave the yard with my truck so I'll have to borrow a full size to grab the machine, but not sure how much buffer is built into our 6,500 lb towing capacity. It's my understanding the biggest challenge is stopping the truck and not getting it going. I should mention I only live about 10 miles from the rental place, but understand safety is more important than anything else.

Sound Of The City's Search For The Quintessential New York Musician Pits John Coltrane (1) Against Lisa Lisa (16)
The Round of 64 for Sound of the City's own version of March Madnessin which you, the Sound of the City voting public, help determine the quintessential New York musiciancontinues, and you get to vote on who makes it to Round Two. The final match in our Uptown division pits its top seed, the legendary John Coltrane, against freestyle pioneer Lisa Lisa. Check out the arguments in favor of each, then cast your ballot at the bottom of the page.
Throughout the 50's and 60's, John Coltrane managed to revolutionize both the hard bop and free jazz movements, contributing to the mainstream jazz lexicon while pushing the limits of the avant-garde. Some remember 'Trane primarily as an extraordinary jazz theorist, while many cherish him above all as one of the greatest sax players of all time. Coltrane explored musical modes in further depth than any composers of his time, inventing the "sheets of sound" technique, where he reeled off flourishes of notes up and down any given mode at blistering speeds. Coltrane's seminal album A Love Supreme marked his spiritual awakening, and interest in cosmic transcendence.

Lisa Velez's career is a case study of New York City as global hub. The daughter of Puerto Rican immigrants, she grew up in Hell's Kitchen and found success through a partnership with the Brooklyn-based production team Full Force, but her teen years were spent in Miami. Even her breakthrough single, "I Wonder If I Take You Home," was only released Stateside once DJs kept playing the track from the European release Breakdancing. An innovator of Latin freestyle, her discography is a breathtaking explosion of styles: rap, R&B, Motown, dance, Latin pop, rock. If she isn't as widely hailed as some of the other entrants here, it's only because she was so ahead of her time.

bought a Buckmaster 4.5-14*40 from there last week. The price was $40 less than the Christmas sales price at my local Bass Pro, no to mention the taxes. I also got free shipping.
Anyone else bought anything from here? www.theopticzone.com |

Haven't bought from there but it gets alot of props here. Had I found a better scope on their a good price, I would have bought it though. I didn't know how to navigate the site correctly and missed the boat. I ended up buying the Monarch 4-12x40 on Ebay, but had I not found it there for $300, it would have been the optic zone.

- Luke:9:10-17
: (also recounted kjv@Matthew:14:15-21 kjv@Mark:6:35-36-44) G652 apostolos dict:easton Apostle By the very definition miracles are beyond typical experience and natural deduction and therefore are highly debatable even among witnesses to the event. Yet is the big miracle that the intellectual expects to see before attributing something to the hand of a supernatural God. While miracles may not be a clear cut undeniable sign to others in our case for certainty, they are a clear cut sign of the critic's pantheistic beliefs and the forms of logic he/she must use to keep the miraculous unmiraculous. The simple fact is that the intellectual or naturalist eagerly seek a sign, not to prove though but disprove the suggestion of a supernatural God. Too often I feel, we (both/all sides) fall into the trap of becoming too involved on proving the certainty of our view being right rather than conveying the certain differences of views and resultant logic drawn from each. No view point in this regard is completely defensible except perhaps the atheist's; that however does not mean that the atheist's is anywhere near being right, it is merely the defense of having no view point. Here is where the logic for the Christian might turn however: If a supernatural God seeks to show Himself therein and confirm His message thereby while all to well knowing that such pantheistic logic is so widely prevalent, it either says that He is wrongly approaching them or that they are wrongly approaching Him (which is the entire supposition of the Bible). Truth is that there is no natural way to explain Jesus feeding five thousand men plus then women and any children from five loves and two small fish. Neither does there have to be if that is the way He intended it. He is not violating natural law especially if natural law proceeded to carry it out and if the supernatural God was the one telling Him to do it as one of these many signs. The logic further derived from that is no less defensible than the logic formed in the opposite direction unless it can be somehow proven one way or the other that these many miracles did or did not in fact happen; which is the likely impossible pursuit of the oppositions. Some would say it is the pursuit over a false dilemma which declares much about the certainty of their uncertainty regarding truth in general. It does not appear that there was much historical conversation at the time of the absurdity of the claims being made, debate tended to be as to the meaning and source of such events occurring. Had the claim of such events been grossly unsupported there would be much more documented evidence at the time of the claim of these events being preposterous. Minus this feedback, we are left to the evidence suggesting that such events surrounding these miraculous claims likely existed. Delclaring Certainty

Infrared Spectra of Zinc Sulfinates
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 23, Issue 4, pp. 337-341 (1969)
Acrobat PDF (673 KB)
The infrared spectra of 15 aliphatic and aromatic zinc sulfinates are given. With zinc p-toluene-sulfinate, run neat as an extremely thin, flat crystal, the symmetric and asymmetric S → 0 peaks were clearly visible at 10.1 μ (990 cm−1) and 10.6 μ (943 cm−1), respectively, and similar absorptions were obtained for the other sulfinates run as Nujol mulls. In distinction to sulfonic acid salts, the sulfinates have practically no absorption in the 8-9 μ (1250-1110 cm−1) region, whereas the sulfonates have no absorption in the 10-11 μ (1000-910 cm−1) thus indicating the analytical value of the spectra in distinguishing these two groups of compounds.

The best card for rental car collision protection is Visa, says Card Hub, followed by Discover, American Express, and MasterCard. Card Hub, the big online credit card data source, recently completed a rigorous study of "free" credit card collision damage coverage and, although I don't completely agree with the conclusion, the detailed findings are useful.
- Availability. All Visa Traditional, Rewards, and Premium Rewards cards; all Discover cards; and all AmEx consumer cards include collision protection. The majority of MasterCards also provide this coverage, but many standard cards do not. Although this factor may be a measure of an overall card system's performance, it is of less interest to individual cardholders; if you have a card with coverage, it's as good as the others, and if you don't, you need to get another card.
- Excluded Vehicles. All cards exclude expensive and exotic cars, trucks, RVs, and large vans, although they describe them in somewhat different terms. AmEx, however, also excludes "large" SUVs such as Land Cruiser and Range Rover—an important drawback for a few renters.
- Excluded Countries. AmEx excludes rentals in Australia, Ireland, Italy, Israel, Jamaica, and New Zealand; MasterCard and Visa exclude Israel, Jamaica, and Ireland (Republic and North); Discover does not exclude any countries but provides limited overseas validity. This provision could be a deal-breaker for some AmEx cardholders.
- Time Limit. AmEx covers individual rentals up to 30 days anywhere; Discover covers 30 days anywhere and 45 days on rentals charged to a business card; MasterCard limits coverage to 15 days on all rentals; and Visa limits coverage to 15 consecutive days in your home country and 31 days in other countries. Only AmEx lists rules that disallow consecutive rentals longer than 30 days.
- Driving Exclusions. AmEx, MasterCard, and Visa exclude collisions during off-road driving; Discover doesn't say. AmEx and Discover cover accidents on unpaved but publicly maintained roads; Visa does not. MasterCard excludes unpaved roads and even paved roads that are not regularly maintained—a real potential gotcha. Beyond that, all card agreements include a laundry list of the "usual suspects" of excluded driving. Notable catches here are driving that violates the contract in any way and driving by anyone not listed as a driver on the contract.
- Loss of Use Coverage. Arguments against reliance on credit card coverage often question coverage for "loss of use" charges—charges rental companies add to a collision bill to cover possible revenue loss during the repair process—and supplemental charges for towing a damaged vehicle. The good news here is that AmEx, MasterCard, and Visa cover such charges; only Discover does not—a real deal-breaker.
Card Hub also rated cards in terms of the process required to activate coverage. Since they gave the same score to all four cards, the details aren't important. For more information, log on to Card Hub.
I would add two additional points:
- All ordinary AmEx, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa collision coverage is secondary, which means that the card pays only what you can't first recover from other insurance. Diners Club, which the report did not cover, provides primary coverage on all cards—a big plus—and you can extend AmEx coverage to primary for a fee of $24.95 per rental of up to 42 consecutive days.
- All credit cards require that you refuse the rental company's collision-damage waiver (CDW), and buying CDW negates a card's coverage. But base rental rates from some foreign "discount" agencies include a mandatory, basic high-deductible CDW. The last time I checked, AmEx and Visa representatives said that as long as you do not have the option to decline the bundled CDW, the card will pick up the deductible, but MasterCard's representative said their card will not.
All in all, the Card Hub report validates what many others and I have been saying for years: Rent a car with a card that provides collision coverage and avoid the rental companies' rip-off CDW prices.

For the last three years, the Bruins have had some fun with their postseason player of the game award.
In 2011, the Boston players handed out an old '80s Bruins jacket to their player of the game. The jacket was with the B's throughout their cup run, passed from player to player. Andrew Ference was the one to introduce the awesome idea to hand out some swag, and it didn't stop in 2011.
The Bruins honor Mark Recchi with the crappy (yet awesome) throwback jacket: http://t.co/ZQroVr0v
Andy Gray (@si_vault) October 07, 2011
In 2012, the Bruins carried around a lock and chain to symbolize that there was no weak link on the B's roster. The chain was worn around the neck of the player of the game, and it was once again Ference's idea.
Kelly wears this year's version of the jacket. 20 players dress, 20 links in the chain...^BISH http://t.co/t2aJRDtM
Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) April 13, 2012
This year the player of the game gets a camouflage Army Ranger jacket. Ference received the jacket after visiting the Rangers' training school at Fort Benning, Ga., according to the Boston Herald. The prize was influenced by Lucas Carr, an Army Ranger who has befriended some of the Bruins. Carr crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon two minutes before the bombs went off and immediately turned around to help the victims.

This weekend's been something of an ego trip for good ol' Dubai. Should we be concerned?
July 31, 2011 3:32 by Eva Fernandes
Definitely Dubai, is an excellent alliteration which serves as the motto of one of Dubai's official tourism ethos. Though it is catchy, it really hasn't caught on like the unforgettable "Malayasia, Truly Asia"…but it was the phrase that was on our minds as we read the news this weekend of some of Dubai's larger than life plans.
To begin with, have you read that Dubai is considering bidding to host the 2024 Olympics? According to the Khaleej Times the UAE National Olympic Committee said on Friday the UAE would be better disposed to bid to host the Olympics in 2024. Apparently a feasibility study into Dubai's capability to host the Olympic Games has concluded that as much as 70 per cent of the "hard" infrastructure is already in place.
Talks of hosting the Olympics have been whispered as far back as 2008, so there are no surprises here, especially with Doha winning the FIFA World Cup hosting rights earlier this year. And while the potential business hosting an event of this magnitude can generate for the UAE is unthinkable—so too is the likely extensive borrowing that the already indebted Dubai will have to undertake in order to properly execute the event.
Is this a classic example of how pre-recession 'Dubai-think' is adversely spilling over to the post-recession Dubai strategy? Has Dubai learnt anything from the past?
Also, despite the study concluding that 70 percent of the "hard" infrastructure is supposedly complete, is there a significant athletic presence in the UAE to be able to justify housing the massive infrastructure? Of course there's always room to rent out these facilities to other countries who actually have a very active and sport-oriented population.
Far be it from Kipp to be too skeptical about Dubai's ambitions, however, chances are if indeed Dubai sets its sights on something, it generally does power on, albeit in a rather debt-ridden sort of way. The fact remains that Dubai has always been very ambitious. We were reminded of this fact again, when we learned of the opening of Dubai's very own "Blue Mosque". On account of Ramadan, Dubai opened the doors to the Al Farooq Omar bin Khattab Mosque in Al Safa—an exact replica of Istanbul's Blue mosque.
Now Kipp hasn't yet been down to the Mosque, but we've seen a few pictures and it does look like an impressive structure alright, but we can't help but think that Dubai is investing in building impressive religious structures, is an excellent move. That Dubai is aiming to add to its cultural and artistic footprint, is refreshing. But, that Dubai choosing to do so by copying an iconic monument, minaret for minaret, is
Pages: 1 2
5 Comments
This article, like everything else written by Fernandes is another sad and pathetic attempt at Dubai bashing. Get over yourself and start creating professional pieces. Now that will be refreshing!
As per the media, the Blue Mosque is not by the government but by a Mr. Habtoor Business man at a cos tof 85 million Dhs. The Blue Mosque has nothing to do with the Dubai Government. It is a contribution by a private business man.
Well Sam, why don't you refute a few points in it then?
Whilst I'm still laughing at Doha hosting the world cup, I actually do think Dubai could pull the Olympics off. Dubai lacks a lot of public access sporting venues, a lot of this infrastructure could fill those gaps, and I could see a fair bit of it getting considerable use, particularly if it's designed for dual/multiple activities. For example the complex required for the swimming and diving events would prove hugely popular once opened to the public.
Unlike Doha the real issues of logistics are probably as good as taken care of with the new motorways, airport, hotels and property, etc.
As for Dubai aping everywhere else, blind ambition for the sake of it always leads to that, so it's hardly a surprise.
Dear Fernandes
Once you report on something.
Kindly make sure you have the facts right, you cannot replicate the blue mosque in Istanbul with 85Million dirham's, I would suggest you go do a bit of research on it.

The Suns finally get past the Spurs and see the roster undergo a big makeover.
A rough year for the Cardinals at the quarterback position led to another losing season.
A lack of success on the field led to plenty of changes in the dugout and the front office.

Round about this time in the election cycle, a presidential challenger finds himself on the stump and posing a simple test to voters: "Ask yourself are you better off now than you were four years ago?"
But, in fact, you don't need to ask yourself, because the Federal Reserve Board's Survey of Consumer Finances has done it for you. Between 2007 and 2010, Americans' median net worth fell 38.8% or from $126,400 per family to $77,300 per family. Oh, dear. As I mentioned a few months ago, when readers asked me to recommend countries they could flee to, most of the countries worth fleeing to Americans can no longer afford to live in.
Which means we'll just have to fix things here. How likely is Barack Obama to do this? A few days ago he came to Cleveland, a city that is a byword for economic dynamism, fiscal prudence, and sound government. He gave a 54-minute address that tried the patience even of the most doting court eunuchs.
"One of the worst speeches I've ever heard Barack Obama make," pronounced MSNBC's Jonathan Alter, as loyal Democrat attendees fled the arena to volunteer for the ObamaCare death-panel pilot program.
In fairness to the president, I wouldn't say it was that much worse, or duller, or more listless and inert than previous Obama speeches. In fact, much of it was exactly the same guff he was peddling when Jonathan Alter's pals were still hailing him as the world's greatest orator. The problem is the ever widening gulf between the speech and the slough of despond all about.
Take, for example, the attempt at soaring rhetoric:

How likely?
Is Intrade needing a sucker bet or something?
How likely is Barney Frank to go straight?
How likely is the Pope going Mormon?
it's much worse then stated when you realize net worth is really just a measure of buying power.
so what has happened to the average family's buying power?
the avg gold price per ounce in 2007 was $695/oz. this means the avg family was worth about 181 ounces of gold.
today, gold is priced at $1626/oz while the avg family's net worth is $77,300 ... or 48 ounces of gold
181 ounces ... to 48.
that's a 73% drop in buying power
how's that change working out for you
False premise. Obama IS AMERICA'S PROBLEM...
Very good, stupid question...
Exactly, and he will ask for a third term.
Obama's whole life's philosophy of authoritarian socialism and his type of cronyism are historical, abject failures.
I'll play it safe and say he has a Zero of a chance. It's better than a negative number. ..I think. ;-)
Posted earlier under a different title.
As likely as I am to discover the secret to 500 degree Fahrenheit superconductivity ...here at my house...
How likely does he even want to?
How likely is Sandra Fluke to join the Tea Party?
How likely was Rose Kennedy to never wear a black dress?
Yea, sorry no offense but... it's a really dumb question, and it's even more compounded by he most resent idiotic, asinine move, check this out.
Obama Bypasses Congress on DREAM Act, Stops Deporting Young Illegals
As if our jobless and crime rate wasn't bad enough?????
He is a mad man at the controls!!!
"How likely is Barack Obama to fix America's problems"
If Uncle Fred had boobs he'd be Aunt Ruth.
"[A]n old Soviet academic joke: the faculty party chief assembles his party cadres and, warning against various ideological threats, proclaims, 'The future is certain. Its only that damned past that keeps changing.'"
It's from a website of an American reporter Claire Berlinski living in Istanbul.
Her very interesting column includes what wikileak cables from our ambassadors to Turkey revealed especially Bush's U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Eric S. Edelman. Here. In case anyone is interested.
Hasn't fixed anything in 3 years and has only made things far worse in 3 years.
Chance he can fix anything? ZERO...........
The real question is how likely is Obama to worsen America's problems. It's already happened.
At the moment, Barack Obama is America's #1 problem (along with the mentality that elected him).
He's not fixing the problems - he IS the problem.
And as long as he's in office and crapping all over the United States, those problems will only get worse.
Between 2007 and 2010, Americans' median net worth fell 38.8%
And the news media NEVER points out that the election of 2006 gave the Dems control of the House and Senate! The Dems wrote and passed the bills that caused the huge increase in spending in Bush 43's last two years, but all of the problems since have been blamed on the Bush Admin.
Why don't Pubs and Conservatives constantly point out that the troubles "inherited" by BHO were caused by the Dems?
Exactly, if anyone is to blame its the democrats and Barack Oblame-o, because he was in the Senate when these bills were passed

Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys news, rumors and injuriesCowboys | Darren McFadden to return kicks? Sun, 03 May 2015 17:26:14 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Darren McFadden could return kicks this season, head coach Jason Garrett said Saturday, May 3. Fantasy Tip: Although Garrett said McFadden could be involved on special teams, it seems unlikely that the Cowboys would risk the health of the oft-injured back on return duty. If McFadden can stay healthy, he has RB1 upside behind Dallas' stout offensive line. Comment () | Share: | Source: The Dallas Morning News - Rainer Sabin Cowboys | Darren McFadden set to carry load? Sat, 02 May 2015 21:27:17 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Darren McFadden remains the frontrunner to be the lead back in 2015 after Dallas didn't select a running back in the 2015 NFL Draft. Fantasy Tip: If McFadden can stay healthy, he could have a big year behind Dallas' dominant offensive line. He is too much of an injury risk to select in the early rounds of fantasy drafts, but he is one back that will be available in the middle rounds that has the potential to produce like a RB1. Comment () | Share: | Source: NFL.com Cowboys | Wait over for Randy Gregory Fri, 01 May 2015 18:18:18 -0700 The Dallas Cowboys selected University of Nebraska LB Randy Gregory in Round 2 (No. 60 overall) in the 2015 NFL Draft Friday, May 1. Comment () | Share: | Source: DallasCowboys.com Cowboys | Morris Claiborne's status for camp uncertain Fri, 01 May 2015 12:38:04 -0700 Dallas Cowboys CB Morris Claiborne (knees) is making good progress in his recovery from offseason surgery, but his status for the start of training camp is uncertain at this time, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones. Jones said Claiborne is still a part of this team but is not sure if the team will pick up his fifth-year option. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNDallas.com - Todd Archer Cowboys | Byron Jones ready to participate Fri, 01 May 2015 12:37:32 -0700 Dallas Cowboys CB Byron Jones said he will be ready to participate when rookie minicamp starts next week. Jones underwent shoulder surgery in October but said he has completely recovered. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNDallas.com - Todd Archer Cowboys | Joseph Randle could face league discipline Fri, 01 May 2015 09:26:59 -0700 Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys RB Joseph Randle could still face punishment from the league under the terms of personal conduct policy, even though he will not face formal misdemeanor charges following a domestic disturbance. Fantasy Tip: A suspension from the league would likely kill whatever small fantasy value Randle has left at this point. As of right now, he's an RB4, at best, as a handcuff to the oft-injured Darren McFadden in point-per-reception leagues.

Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPN - Ed Werder Cowboys | Joseph Randle won't be charged Wed, 29 Apr 2015 13:11:03 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Joseph Randle will not face felony charges regarding a domestic violence incident due to lack of evidence. Randle could still face misdemeanor charges, however. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPN.com Cowboys | Dallas may not draft running back Tue, 28 Apr 2015 12:47:58 -0700 Dallas Cowboys general manager Jerry Jones said a running back isn't a necessity in this year's draft. Fantasy Tip: Darren McFadden figures to be the backfield starter as of now as it seems the Cowboys won't be pursuing Adrian Peterson. McFadden would be one of the least reliable starting running backs in the league and should be considered no more than a RB2 at best. Comment () | Share: | Source: The Dallas Morning News Cowboys | Chris Jones' extension update Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:49:30 -0700 Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys P Chris Jones' contract extension is three years in length.

The Lewis Legacy-Issue 72, Spring 1997
The Very Last Poem Lewis Agreed to Publish
The C.S. Lewis Foundation for Truth in Publishing
March 1, 1997
In the D. L. Scudders bookstore in Fresno, CA, Mr. Scudders offered Lewis buff David Baumann a copy of the July 1964 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. On pp. 74-75 the editors published a Lewis poem prefaced by the following significant tribute.
C. S. Lewis wrote a wide and rich variety of books--the well-known Screwtape Letters (Macmillan), Surprised by Joy (Harcourt), The Case for Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, Voyage of the Dawn Treader (all Macmillan), the Narnia series of juvenile fantasies and many others. His stories in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction included THE SHODDY LANDS (Feb. 1956) and MINISTERING ANGELS (Jan.1958). Professor Lewis's poem, "The Last [sic] of the Wine," so impressed Poul Anderson that he committed it to memory. His quotations from it so impressed Mr. Edward Meskys, a New York scientist now living in California, that he wrote the author and obtained permission to reprint it in his amateur SF magazine, Niekas; and it was there that we first saw it. Professor Lewis's letter, granting permission, concluded, "I'd write more if I were not rather ill." At the time he wrote this he was in process of resigning both the professorship of medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge and his fellowship at Magdalen College, Oxford; and the following month, on November 22, 1963, he died. This beautiful poem is, therefore, alas and indeed, literally, THE END OF THE WINE.
To read this poem as Lewis meant it to be published in Punch in1947 and in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in 1964, see p. 16 of this issue, To read it as Walter Hooper chose to publish it in Poems in 1964 and Collected Poems in 1994, see p. 17.

Re: How do you fold sails on deck?
If you are having trouble folding sail to fit in a regular bag you will find that a sausage bag even more frustrating due to its much narrower shape. Do you have two people to flake or only one? It is easier with two. Try to get your genoa to "flake" as you first drop it on the weather deck. This doesn't have to be neat. Then, flip the sail over onto the coach roof exposing the first fold. This will be tricky with an overlapping headsail and you will have to figure out what works best on your boat – for example, it is much easier to fold sails on the deck of a CAL 40 than a Catalina 34). With the first fold exposed, re-flake the rest using the proper widths of the folds. If you are using a sausage bag, lay it out, unzipped, before you start the initial drop. And with a sausage bag, you will want to flake along the luff, so the luff tapes are stacked on top of each other rather than the normal flake parallel to the foot. On the race boat, we do a lot of headsail changes (from sausage bags). Remember to keep the toe attached and tie down the bag so they don't get washed overboard. We only lash a headsail along the lifelines temporarily. We fold the sausage bag into thirds and lash to the coach roof. The first time you get a boarding wave with it lashed to the lifelines and you will understand why we do it on the coach roof.

Tuesday, August 12, 2014 More items for Coating Materials More items from Europe
A new paint container design that reduces both paint and packaging could help stanch the waste of millions of liters of unused paint each year in the UK, its designer says.
Alec Machin's novel design has captured the new Richard Howarth Award from Britain's Royal Society for the Encouragement of the Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA).
RSA is a nonprofit "committed to finding innovative practical solutions to today's social challenges."
Saving Paint
In England, those challenges include 50 million liters of wasted paint each year, RSA says.
About 75 million gallons of paint purchased in the U.S. are unused. Conventional paint cans, designed in the 19th century, allow the contents to dry out, says Alec Machin.
Machin's container features a one-way pouring valve that prevents paint from drying out; a storage bag that maintains its temperature; and a container, lid and valve that can all be recycled to reduce package waste.
The Howarth Award is a new RSA Student Design Award sponsored by an Apple industrial designer and former RSA Student Design Award winner. Machin is studying for his masters in Product Design and Manufacture (MEng) at the University of Nottingham.
'Ever-Growing Pile'
In the U.S., about 75 million gallons of paint each year are unused and eventually discarded. The metal paint can, largely unchanged since 1868, offers little protection to preserve its contents.
Alec Machlin's paint package consumes less room than cans do for shipping.
"Other than actually holding paint, the traditional paint can offers very few benefits at all," Machin told fastcoexist.com.
"There's an ever-growing pile of old half-used paint cans sitting in my garage. Most of the containers have been deformed in some way . . . and a large amount of the paint which has been left in the container has already dried out."
What's New
Machin's design, called DECORATE PAINT, is smaller than traditional paint cans, so consumers can purchase less paint at a time.
In addition, the novel one-way valve (think of a tube of toothpaste) protects the contents from drying out. And a special coating, using the same material in emergency blankets, protects the paint from heat and cold in a garage.
A one-way valve prevents the paint from drying out, and unused containers can fold flat for shipping, the designer says.
The hexagonal package can also be shipped flat and, when assembled, fits more efficiently on trucks than conventional cans, the developer says.
As one of two Howarth Award winners, Machin will receive £2,125 ($3,600 USD) to help bring his design to market.

Practical Applications of Chameleon Subwoofer Arrays
Spatiotemporal variations of the low-frequency response in a closed-space are predominantly caused by room-modes. Chameleon subwoofer arrays (CSA) were developed to minimize this variance over a listening area using multiple independently-controllable source components and calibrated with one-time measurements. Although CSAs are ideally implemented using hybrid (multiple source component) subwoofers, they can alternatively be realized using conventional subwoofers. This capability is exploited in this work where various CSA configurations are tested using commercially-available subwoofers in a small-sized listening room. Spectral and temporal evaluation is performed using tone-burst and maximum length sequence (MLS) measurements. The systems are implemented with practicality in mind, keeping the number of subwoofers and calibration measurements to a minimum while maintaining correction benefits.

Single Salary Schedule
In general, most teachers in the United States are paid according to a single salary schedule that provides salary increments according to a teacher's years of experience and number of college/university units and degrees. This teacher salary schedule was first implemented in several big city districts in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The basic concept has not changed much over the course of the twentieth century.Equitable pay: the underlying principle of the single salary schedule
The single salary schedule does not mean that all teachers earn the same salary. Individual teacher salaries vary according to specific attributes of individual teachers. Teachers with more years of experience have larger salaries, as do teachers with more education attainment. Teachers also are paid more for additional jobs; e.g., coaches earn a salary supplement, as do advisors of clubs and other co-curricular activities often earn a salary increment. But critical to the success of the single salary schedule is that the basis for paying teachers different amounts, i.e., years of experience, education units and different jobs, are objective, measurable, and not subject to administrative discretion.
The mechanics of a typical single salary schedule
A sample salary schedule shows the major features of the pay schedule for a typical school district for the 1998-99 school year. In this example, the beginning salary for a new teacher with a Bachelor's degree and no prior teaching experience was $27,628. That was about 79% of the beginning salary for all college graduates with a liberal arts degree who entered the workforce in that year.

17 | 39,111 | 40,916 | 42,265 | 46,764 | 48,266 | 49,765 | 52,990 |
The maximum salary in this example $52,990, about 1.9 times the beginning salary. Assuming this type of salary structure would remain in place for a teacher's career, the most a teacher in this district could expect to be paid in base salary would be just less than double their beginning salary. However, this salary doubling would occur only after working at least 17 years and investing in substantial graduate training, including obtaining a doctorate.
Teacher salaries increase gradually over many years. In this example, the first 13 years a teacher would automatically receive a salary increment of varying size each year without earning any additional credits. These increases typically are called seniority step or years of experience step increases. In this example, the value of the step increases range from a low of 1.31% from Step 1 to 2, and a high of 8% from step 12 to step 13. In this example, after the 13th year, the automatic annual salary increments stop and are replaced by a "longevity" increment that takes four years to earn, i.e., the next step after 13 is 17. (Note, however, that some schedules provide annual step increases to the top of the schedule.) In this example, if a teacher at step 13 in that lane did not obtain any additional degrees or educational units, she or he could go four years without a salary increase, other than if the entire pay structure were adjusted.
The example does not show the placement of an experienced teacher who is new to the district. Although the procedure is changing in some districts, the practice has been to limit an experienced teacher who moves to a new district to a salary that credits no more than 4-6 years of experience and often even less. This might not cause serious salary disruption for a relatively new teacher, but a teacher with more experience who moved to a new district could not only experience a salary setback, but also might never reach the highest salary step before retirement regardless of their professional expertise. Many teachers do not stay in one district their entire career, so this type of salary setback or limitation is a real situation for many teachers.
The example also shows that earning advanced credits and degrees also produce salary increases. Typically, both the dollar amount of an increase and the percentage increase for these education credits rises with the years of experience. For example, in this example, a teacher with a Master's Degree at step one would earn $3505 more than the Bachelor's Degree rate, an increase of 12.7%. At step six, movement from the Bachelor's degree lane to the Master's Degree lane would result in a $3682 (12%) increase. Finally, at step 17, the increase over the comparable Bachelor's Degree rate would be $7653, or 19.6%. These increases would be added to a teacher's base salary and thus would be earned for every year after the Master's Degree was earned. Thus, there is a clear incentive for a teacher to obtain advanced degrees and additional educational units from a higher education institution (or if allowed, continuing education units granted for participation in other professional development activities), since step increases alone do not provide the kind of significant pay increases that typically are associated with movement from one lane to another.
If a teacher earned a Master's Degree by the thirteenth year of teaching, his or her salary would be about 67% above the starting salary. If the teacher did not earn any more degrees or take any more education credits, he or she would then earn just 10 percent more (the longevity increases) the rest of his or her career, for a final salary only 69% above their beginning salary.
A doctorate can push the maximum earning numbers a bit higher, although not all schedules include a doctorate lane. In the example, a doctorate within the first thirteen years of teaching would produce a salary of $52,136, or 89% above the beginning salary, which could rise by just another $627 over the next four years of experience to a maximum of $52,990.
Some general points about teacher salaries
This example should be used only to illustrate the basic principles of the single salary schedule. It does not include extra salary increments for additional jobs such as coaching a sport, or advising a team or other extracurricular activity. Salary schedules around the country vary from the one shown, with both lower and higher salaries at different points in the steps and lanes matrix, as well as greater or fewer steps and lanes. Nevertheless, it is a good example of how most teachers are paid.
Recent data show that teachers tend to start with a salary about 75% that of college graduates with liberal arts degrees and even less than the beginning salary of all college graduates. In some high-demand areas, such as mathematics or science, the beginning teacher salary can be less than two-thirds that of the related area. A teacher can at most double his or her salary, and only with substantial graduate training and after an extended time period, often spanning one's entire teaching career. A teacher can expect to "top out" on annual increments within the first 15 years of teaching. This means that for people who begin teacher in their early 20s, by their mid- to late-30s, no more annual increases can be expected. Regardless of when the "topping out" happens, there are limitations to how long they will receive extra pay for more years of experience. In short, the typical teacher has modest earning power that is largely dependent on staying in the same district for one's entire teaching career and receiving multiple advanced degrees. Although other professions such as engineers, accountants, doctors, or lawyers, may have continuing education requirements, salary increases in those professions typically are not tied to the acquisition of additional degrees or coursework..
Finally, the current education system does make larger salaries available to teachers, but only for those leaving teaching and entering administrative jobs. Many teachers see movement to an administrative position such as assistant principal, principal, central office supervisor, or numerous other out-of-classroom jobs as the fastest and surest way to receive a pay increase, especially in places where the salary schedule provides larger increases for more senior staff. Except for recent salary increases for earning certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Practice, teachers with a greater array of professional expertise do not earn more than those with less skills and competencies, and only in rare circumstances are teachers, who provide the most crucial direct service to students -- instruction -- able to earn more than individuals who do not work in the classroom.

I can confirmed this. It's truly amazing that they did this upgrade right after I wrote the long thread in direct forum about the issue.However, now I am on the way to replace my modem. Since clearly the upgrade breaks it from the connection and it cannot even connect to the maIn line for provisioning.Hope I'm the only victim for this upgrade and you all get to enjoy the new firmware which clearly makes bridge mode easier and connectivity issue lessened.
I can confirm this as well (WOH area).However, the wireless indicator blinks and I can no longer access 192.168.0.1. It simply does not come up, so I cannot change the settings in it.I can access 192.168.100.1, but this is very limited in what I can do.Anyone have a suggestion on how to get around this.
If you are in bridge mode 192.168.0.1 should not work. If it did then it was not setup properly for bridge mode. 2 things were needed for it to be done right disable napt mode and disable dhcp. I guess the new firmware must have corrected that issue. Use 192.168.100.1 that should work.
I am just hoping that the new firmware includes IPv6 support
Are you able to get to the config page with the new firmware, without using the resetting trick?
In the approved motorola Docsis 3 customer device list, SBG6580 is not listed as IPv6 compliant only SB6141 is. Will it be supported with firmware upgrade?
Good to know moto SBG6580 is IPv6 compliant, it makes sense going forward. Do you have an idea when TWC transitions to IPv6?
We don't have it in Valencia/SoCal yet. I look forward to testing it to see if it fixes the routing bugs.

This undated image provided by Sariah English shows Eric and Charlotte Kaufman with their daughters, Lyra, 1, and Cora, 3.
SAN DIEGO — Six days after a family of four found themselves helpless and adrift in a sailboat far into the Pacific with a vomiting, feverish 1-year-old, a Navy warship delivered them safely Wednesday to San Diego, where they began their attempted around-the world voyage before the child was born.
The Rebel Heart, the 36-foot sailboat that had been their home for seven years, is at the bottom of the ocean 900 miles off Mexico, sunk by rescuers because it was taking on water after losing its steering and most of its communications.
A satellite phone ping from the boat Thursday set off a huge rescue effort that involved skydiving National Guardsmen, three federal agencies, a plane, a frigate and scores of personnel.
It also sparked a serious debate over parenting and the propriety of hitting the high seas with two young children.
The Navy warship, the USS Vandegrift, docked at Naval Air Station North Island with the Kaufman family safely aboard and the child recovering from her illness, Navy spokeswoman Lt. Lenaya Rotklein said.
In a photo released by the Navy, the family looked like typical vacationers, with father Eric dressed in shorts and a baseball cap while lugging bags, and his wife, Charlotte, walking behind him, holding the toddler in a strap-on carrier and grasping the hand of her 3-year-old daughter.
The happy scene was a far cry from the miserable conditions described by Navy sailors who spoke to reporters after the ship moved to the San Diego mainland later in the day without the Kaufmans.
They said poor visibility, winds of 10 knots and rough seas kept them from sending a rescue boat to the Kaufmans for hours on Sunday. When they did reach the family's sailboat, 5- to 8-foot waves forced them to offload one person at a time. The effort took two hours.
"Stand on top of a 6-foot ladder, have a friend throw a bucket of saltwater in your face, rinse and repeat for two hours," said Boatswain's Mate 2nd Class Ian Matthew Gabriel.
The sailors said the Rebel Heart had enough fuel for 10- to 11 hours of sailing, but that every time the Kaufmans tried to turn on the engine, the boat would take on water. They said the four California Air National Guard members who parachuted 1,500 feet into the heavy surf to stabilize Lyra got seasick. The parajumpers, who spent three nights on the sailboat, and the Kaufmans were soaking wet when a Navy rescue boat reached them Sunday.
Once the rescue boat started speeding toward the USS Vandegrift, Lyra's sister, Cora, began to laugh in amazement.
"The 3-year-old was having a ball. She thought it was the most fun thing ever and the rest of us were white-knuckled," Lt. Junior Grade Chris Cheezum said.
The Kaufmans' decision to sail around the world with Lyra and Cora drew accusations of recklessness from some observers and praise from others for their courageous spirit.
"They'll probably go on the 'Today' show to talk about this, and write a book about it, do a miniseries and get 15 minutes of fame because that's how our country tends to reward people who choose recklessly to put themselves and their children in danger," said Margaret Dilloway, a San Diego novelist who has three children.
Sariah English, Charlotte Kaufman's sister, said she doesn't question the decision of her sister's family. Sailing is their passion, she said. It's what defines them.
"Charlotte and Eric raise their children how they see fit," English said. "They are very concerned about child safety. That's their No. 1 concern, and they did not do this blindly. They are responsible, good parents."
Eric Kaufman, a Coast Guard-licensed captain, and his wife sent a statement from the ship defending their actions, saying "when we departed on this journey more than a year ago, we were then and remain today confident that we prepared as well as any sailing crew could."
Others said children benefit in many intangible ways from parents who show them the world, even when they're too young to remember it.

A favorite of in-the-know stylists, the luxe formula speeds up blow-drying time and smooths even the most unruly 'dos. It also nourishes hair, repairing split ends and leaving locks softer and stronger. The ultra-lightweight mist tames flyaways and beats frizz for a sleek, glossy finish. Whether your hair is coarse and thick or fine and wispy, this spritz adds volume and shine as you blow dry. We love how the paraben-free formula is safe for color-treated and processed strands, too. Perfect blowout, here we come.
The reviews are right. This is the best blowout product I have ever used. I have long, fine hair with a natural wave and everything always seemed to err on the side of "a bit too stiff/heavy/greasy/useless." This product absolutely delivers on making hair feel like silk while cutting drying time.
5I love this product so much. I try not to blow-dry my hair too much, but this product has helped both the condition of my hair and the softness of my hair when I use it before blowing out my hair. It makes my hair SO SOFT. I have naturally straight hair, but this makes it so silky, it's amazing. Best heat styling spray I've ever tried.
5This is the first time I have purchased any Oribe products but I'm sure glad I did. I have noticed a shorter dry time and my hair feels super soft. It also has a nice scent to it. I gave it 4 stars due to the price, but it is something I will definitely reorder if I have some points to use.
4ok i already use the Oribe Maximista blow out spray, but this stuff is Amazing!! note- its for halfway down your hair and Maximista is for your roots so now I can use them both!!! This stuff makes my hair straighter and thicker than using maxamista only through out my whole head. I did not think I needed this but WOW, yes I do, give me more pls!!! Absoultely Awesome Royal Blowout OMG.
5This product is excellent for blow drying my curly/frizzy/ray hair straight. It cuts down both on damage and time - while leaving hair soft and full of shine. It's expensive. I recommend spraying into your hands and then rub into hair to avoid spraying too much product.
4I have very thick curly long hair. My hair also is slightly frizzy and takes a very long time to blow dry . And even when I do blow dry it, it looks dry and frizzy.
When I used this product I was so pleasantly surprised , it cut down my blow dry time more then in half, it was so smooth and shiny and had absolutely no frizz at all! And the smell was incredible! I have finally found the product that does everything I need all in one product! I was amazed.
It is a little pricey, but when you see the end result and the amount of time you save it's worth every penny.
I highly recommend this product, it's everything it says it is and more.

Fake Grass, No-Watering Rules -- Such is Life across the Drought-Plagued West
LAS VEGAS -- Roy Rogers probably never rode on it, but now he's buried under it _ a lush carpet of fake grass.
At Sunset Hills Memorial Park in Apple Valley, Calif., converting the grass around the grave of the singing Hollywood cowboy to artificial turf is all about saving water in the drought-stricken West.
Life in the West is full of changes people hardly even notice anymore _ watering schedules, desert landscaping and limits on how often you can wash your car in the driveway.
Little things like not leaving the water running while brushing your teeth or not watering lawns by hand have become part of everyday life. Fundraiser car washes are a rarity.
Richard Trujillo, utilities administrator for the other Las Vegas _ in New Mexico _ remembers how the West used to be.
"A lot of people used to own lawns. They were able to wash their car every day if they wanted. They were able to wash down their sidewalks instead of sweeping it. Flowers required a lot of water. A lot of that is really of the past now," Trujillo said.
Around Las Vegas the gambling mecca, outsiders may wonder where all the grass has gone. Since 2003, no new home has been allowed to have turf in the front yard. After all, this is a city that maybe gets 4 inches of rain a year.
For older houses, the Southern Nevada Water Authority offers rebates to homeowners who rip out grass and replace it with water-smart landscaping, which means a lot of rocks and usually some cactus. Other cities in the West do the same.
Some people find it hideous, but many Westerners have come to embrace it. It may take Rich Leskovac a few more years to come around.
"I love grass and I won't change to desert landscaping. It's just not eye appealing to me. To me, it's rock," said Leskovac, who moved to Las Vegas from Greenville, Pa., five years ago.
In 2003, with the West in the thick of the drought, the Southern Nevada Water Authority shut down all decorative water fountains, leading to unsightly empty tanks outside gas stations and business parks.
"Any visual use of water like that can undermine people's perception of water conservation. It gives you the impression that water's not valued in your community," said Doug Bennett, the authority's conservation manager.
Attractions such as the Mirage volcano and the Bellagio fountains on the Las Vegas Strip are still on, but only because they use low-quality ground water or recycled water.
In Southern California, a weekly watering index guides homeowners on how to use sprinklers more efficiently. It is based on a scientific formula that takes evaporation rates into account.
Water-saving suggestions for the city of Anaheim, Calif., include taking quick showers and refrigerating drinking water instead of running the faucet until the water turns cold.
Western life is full of schedules that tell when you may water your lawn.
Water cops here and in cities such as Albuquerque, N.M., Denver and Tucson, Ariz., enforce the rules. Deviate from the schedule or allow water to run down the street and you may find yourself with a ticket.
And in many cases, it's neighbors tattling on other neighbors.
In Las Vegas, N.M., Trujillo has gotten calls from homeowners in the middle of the night who report: "Mr. Trujillo if you come out here now, you'll catch them."
School baseball and football fields across the West have been converting to fake turf, golf courses are ripping out grass, and many cities offer rebates for low-flow toilets and water-efficient washing machines. Many restaurants do not serve customers water unless they ask.
"I visit my mom, who lives in Philadelphia. She's making dinner and she has the water running. People in Albuquerque really see that as a terrible thing," said Katherine Yuhas, water conservation officer for the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility.
Water pressure can be low, something people from other parts of the country notice right away. (Ozzy Osbourne once complained to his wife on their MTV show "The Osbournes" about the low water pressure in the shower until she told him about the water-saving shower heads in California.)
Boaters and swimmers have grown accustomed to the bathtub rings around Lake Mead in Nevada and Arizona and Lake Powell in Arizona and Utah that show where the water used to be, before drought brought the levels down. Similarly, tourists at Hoover Dam outside Las Vegas gawk and take pictures of the prominent white water line.
Sunset Hills Memorial Park owner Chet Hill has persuaded other cemeteries to try artificial turf, too.
The only problem?
"Sometimes it looks too good, too perfect," Hill said. "We actually put little lumps in it, throw some dirt underneath it."

Canoe Ventures expects to announce its first national addressable advertising product in about six weeks, company President David Verklin said.
Speaking at the National Cable & Telecommunications Association's Cable Show '09 in Washington Friday morning, Mr. Verklin described the new product as being able to allow an advertiser to buy a national ad and send different messages to different demographic groups.
As an example, he said American Express could run an commercial for its green card, but send a spot for its gold card into homes in 370 areas where household income averages more than $100,000 a year.
Mr. Verklin estimated that about 18 million homes would get the gold card ad, while 48 million would get the green card ad.
Canoe calls the product Community Addressable Messaging, and two national cable networks have agreed to carry the first commercials.
"It's the first launch of an addressable product in the United States, the first time [the cable industry's] insertion equipment has been used on a national basis, the first time a national ad has been served to a demographic target," he said.

Adventure of the Seas Cruise Review by Coffee snob: Royal Caribbean Adventure of The Seas Spain and France

Royal Caribbean Adventure of The Seas Spain and France
Very mixed experience, ship felt very overcrowded and we had to queue for everything. Waited for 20 minutes to be served at the Ben and Jerry's/ Starbucks counter and then gave up waiting. Found it difficult to find tables and seats in the Windjammer restaurant and in bars and other seating areas.
Evening meal table was in a very poor location, tucked in a corner with the only view into the clearing away area. Restaurant staff were really attentive and friendly. Food was high quality. Not much variety or suitable things for kids mostly just pizza and chips. We were sat with other people for evening meal and if we went to a sit down breakfast. There wasn't a choice, we would have preferred to sit on our own as it was awkward at times.
Had 2 promenade view cabins with interconnecting doors, cabins good, very clean, stewards were fantastic. Was worried cabin would be noisy as above a bar but sound proofing very good. Would recommend having outside cabin or balcony More
as constantly having artificial lighting is unpleasant as lighting is very dim.
Everything on board is very expensive and when docking in port bus transfers out of the port were $15 each, even for the children. We avoided the coach and got local taxis which were much cheaper. Sea pass cards are used to pay for things. Kids can use theirs too which resulted in a huge arcade bill and shop bill from chocolate ($50 for 5 bars of chocolate). Excursions were really expensive $125-275 so we didn't do any.
My 16 and 10 year old thought the activity clubs for their age group were old fashioned and outdated. Swimming pools were freezing so people sat in the hot tubs and swimming pools were mostly unused.
The talks and activities seemed geared up to trying to sell you a product at the end of it which was a bit uncomfortable at times. Went to a Pilates class, the instructor didn't ask about injuries or offer basic beginner moves and seemed to find it amusing when a couple of people struggled with some of the exercises. Overall fitness staff were not friendly or helpful.
Guest services staff were not very helpful and didn't seem to know what was happening on the ship. When we asked if they had a map of le Harvre on of the ports of call they gave us a map of Paris and insisted that was le Harvre.
The ice show was fantastic and the cast who also ran the open skating sessions were brilliant. The dance show was also fantastic.
Getting on and off ship and parking at Southampton hassle free and organized.
Overall some highs and lows, glad we experienced a cruise but wouldn't do it again. Less

Cabin review: PR7607
Promenade view was of guest services and the stair case. It was just above Champagne bar, this meant you couldn't see much of the promenade but this made it a quieter room. Was good to have a window but lighting was very dim. Cabin fairly spacious for 2 would be a squeeze for 3, no where to put suitcases and lack of draw and wardrobe space.
Port and Shore Excursions
Ship dock in walking distance to town and places of interest. Good restaurants, nice town.
