This year, DMH planted its flag in the West Bottoms after looking at numerous spaces in the Crossroads Arts District. It took the third floor in the Telegram Building, a former communications hub dating to 1909 that was redeveloped by Bill Haw Sr. and is also home to a winery and art gallery.
"We didn't want to be just another cool, young, growing agency in a cool space in the Crossroads," Hogan said. "There was something about this area that gave us a good vibe. ... There's a lot of great energy down here."
Moving in was a logical step for an agency that's survived its infancy and now is aimed at long-term growth. DMH has room for 40 people and could take additional space in the nearby Livestock Exchange Building, also owned by Haw.
Gross billings have gone from $1.4 million in 2010 to a projected $3.1 million in 2012, and gross revenue has likewise more than doubled during that time, from $1.1 million to $2.5 million.
One issue DMH has resolved is the Catch-22 of adding staff and taking on more work: It's hard to commit to an additional project unless you have the people to do it, but it's equally tough to hire those people until you know you have the work.
"One kind of begets the next, but you're never really sure what order they come in," Hogan said.
There was never a single, obvious trigger for growth, so DMH had to take a second leap. Two years ago, the trio decided to take more risk by investing in human capital — in other words, a hiring spree. The agency also added tools to track workflow and improve efficiency.
"As our revenue was starting to grow, we didn't know when was the right time to start bringing on new employees," Diamond said. "Ever since we got the confidence to scale, it's been a whole new world for us."

Mozarella and Tuna Sandwich
Author Notes: My favorite pizza to eat in Italy is topped with tuna, cherry peppers and thinnly sliced white onions. I often recreate this pizza to enjoy at home, but unlike most pizza I find that it's not that great cold the next day. This sandwich is my brown bag version of that pizza. - roseinparis
Serves 1
- 1 small can on tuna packed in water, drained
- 3 pickeled cherry peppers, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ciabatta roll
- 4 slices fresh mozarella
- 1 tomato sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- In a small bowl combine, tuna, peppers, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
- Slice open the ciabatta roll and top with tuna mixture, drizzle any leftover vinaigrette on the opposite side of the roll. Top with mozzarella, tomatoes and red onion.
- Place halves together and roll in saran wrap. By the time you are ready to eat it, all the flavors will have had a chance to marinate together and it will be even tastier than when first made.

Okay, so I won this contest and got the text back saying to send in my shipping address. I texted the address in to ModMobile but I wasn't sure if it sent or not, so I sent an e-mail explaining that and re-telling you guys my shipping address. I listed my cell number so you would know who I was and that I did win.
I have yet to recieve my gift and I was just curious if you guys knew when it would be coming in or if I am going to recieve my gift at all.
I was also a winner and received the text back saying to e-mail my address. I also did not get a response to my e-mail. I understand if time was taken off round the holidays, so shipping wasn't done until this week, etc. However, I would like to get a response as to when we should expect our gift in the mail. Thanks so much!

Bruce Ackerman and James Fishkin argue that Americans can revitalize their democracy and break the cycle of cynical media manipulation that is crippling public life. They propose a new national holiday--Deliberation Day--for each presidential election year. On this day people throughout the country will meet in public spaces and engage in structured debates about issues that divide the candidates in the upcoming presidential election. Deliberation Day is a bold new proposal, but it builds on a host of smaller experiments. Over the past decade, Fishkin has initiated Deliberative Polling events in the United States and elsewhere that bring random and representative samples of voters together for discussion of key political issues. In these events, participants greatly increase their understanding of the issues and often change their minds on the best course of action. Deliberation Day is not merely a novel idea but a feasible reform. Ackerman and Fishkin consider the economic, organizational, and political questions raised by their proposal and explore its relationship to the larger ideals of liberal democracy.
Bruce Ackerman is Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University. James S. Fishkin is Janet M. Peck Chair in International Communication and professor of political science at Stanford University, where he is also director of the Center for Deliberative Democracy. They have both published many books on the theory and practice of American democracy. This is their first collaboration.
"This lively, fast-moving book is concerned with a serious subject - restoring the health of American democracy.... Fishkin and Ackerman are two of our liveliest and most inventive political and legal thinkers." Alan Ryan, New York Review of Books"

Read Poems by Joe Flach
Best Joe Flach Poems
When the end of our journey we reach; No more footprints to make in the beach; And most of our memories we choose to forget, It is those things we didn't do that we will regret. Not loving more, when we had a chance; Not daring to ask for a dance; Not reaching for that elusive star; Not once being a bit bizarre. We may be satisfied in the making of our bed; We may have been happy with the life we lead; But we will wonder why we didn't do more, As we approach that eternal door. Regrets – even if they are but a few - Will cause the tears when our days are then through; So, be brave and let down your hair so in the autumn few regrets are left there.

RATIONALE: Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs such as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist, flutamide, and bicalutamide may stop the adrenal glands from producing androgens. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining hormone therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy given at the same time as hormone therapy is more effective than chemotherapy given after hormone therapy in treating prostate cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy given at the same time as hormone therapy with that of chemotherapy given after hormone therapy in treating patients who have prostate cancer.
Further Study Information
- Compare the survival of patients with high-risk hormone-naive prostate cancer treated with androgen blockade with concurrent chemotherapy vs delayed chemotherapy.
- Compare biochemical control in patients treated with these regimens.
- Determine the toxicity of these regimens in these patients.
- Compare the time to clinical failure, as measured by progression on bone scan or CT scan or a prostate-specific antigen doubling time of ≤ 32 weeks, in patients treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior therapy (surgery vs radiotherapy and/or brachytherapy vs both), original combined Gleason score (6 vs 7 vs 8-10), and prior vaccine therapy (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive androgen blockade (AB) comprising a luteinizing-hormone releasing-hormone agonist continuously and oral flutamide or oral bicalutamide once daily for at least 1 month. Within 4 weeks of initiation of AB, patients begin chemotherapy. Patients receive 1, and only 1, of the following chemotherapy regimens:
- Regimen A: Patients receive oral estramustine 3 times daily on days 1-5 and docetaxel IV on day 3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Regimen B: Patients receive oral estramustine 3 times daily on days 1-5 and paclitaxel IV on days 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, and 38. Treatment repeats every 56 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Regimen C: Patients receive oral ketoconazole 3 times daily on days 1-7, 15-21, and 29-35; doxorubicin IV on days 1, 15, and 29; vinblastine IV on days 8, 22, and 36; and oral estramustine 3 times daily on days 8-14, 22-28, and 36-42. Treatment repeats every 56 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Regimen D: Patients receive oral estramustine 3 times daily on days 1-4 and docetaxel IV over 1 hour on days 3, 10, and 17. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Regimen E: Patients receive docetaxel IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Regimen F: Patients receive docetaxel IV on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Regimen G: With approval from the protocol chair, patients may receive a regimen that has been demonstrated in a published phase II study to have at least a 50% response rate as measured by PSA decrease from baseline over 2 measurements 28 days apart or a decrease in measurable soft tissue disease by 50% in 2 dimensions.
- Arm II: Patients receive AB as in arm I. Patients continue with AB until clinical failure, at which time patients receive chemotherapy as in arm I. Patients who have a response may continue to receive chemotherapy beyond 4 courses.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,050 patients will be accrued for this study within 4-6 years.
Eligibility Criteria
- Diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate

dc.description.abstract | Salinisation is a major environmental hazard that reduces agricultural yields and degrades arable land. Two main categories of salinisation are: primary and secondary soil salinisation. While primary soil salinisation is caused by natural processes, secondary soil salinisation is caused by human factors. Incorrect irrigation practices are the major contributor to secondary soil salinisation. Because of low costs and less time that is associated with the use of remote sensing techniques, remote sensing data is used in this study to identify and map salinised irrigated land between Upington and Keimoes, Northern Cape Province, in South Africa. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of digital aerial imagery in identifying salinised cultivated land. Two methods were used to realize this aim. The first method involved visually identifying salinised areas on NIR, and NDVI images and then digitizing them onscreen. In the second method, digital RGB mosaicked, stacked, and NDVI images were subjected to unsupervised image classification to identify salinised land. Soil samples randomly selected and analyzed for salinity were used to validate the results obtained from the analysis of aerial photographs. Both techniques had difficulties in identifying salinised land because of their inability to differentiate salt induced stress from other forms of stress. Visual image analysis was relatively successful in identifying salinised land than unsupervised image classification. Visual image analysis correctly identified about 55% of salinised land while only about 25% was identified by unsupervised classification. The two techniques predict that an average of about 10% of irrigated land is affected by salinisation in the study area. This study found that although visual analysis was time consuming and cannot differentiate salt induced stress from other forms; it is fairly possible to identify areas of crop stress using digital aerial imagery. Unsupervised classification was not successful in identifying areas of crop stress. | en_ZA |

The Golden Guide to Flashing Graphic Cards
The Golden Guide to Flashing Graphic Cards
Update March 2011 Ok, this thread is a bit old, and some things here are no longer important. For example, you can now generate automatically a 4870 / 4890 firmware in Zeus tool. I will still leave the old text, it has some important facts. But you should check out the Zeus thread http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=9427042 For current guides to flashing 4870 / 4890. For more discussion about flashing, look at http://netkas.org/forum Right now, the two topics in the Macrumors Mac Pro forum with the highest post and view count are "Race to dump the 4870 ROM" and "Ultimate thread: 4890 in Mac Pro". They contain over two thousand replies and have been viewed over hundreds of thousand times. Both topics are about flashing graphic cards. In the beginning, the questions that people asked where something like "Heya, I just read the thread, care to explain a little more detailed the Step number three on page 6" or such. Now a days, they are more like "Hey I'm new to this, can you please do everything for me because I cba to read 50 pages, also can you tell me what color of underwear I should wear tomorrow, thanks" Hey, I dont blame you guys. Actually this is the reason I'm writing this thread. Flashing graphic cards are a hot thing, and with the newly announced Steam for Mac with latest Source games, and upcoming new Mac Pro graphic cards, this trend is not going away. And the only real information is scattered among thousands of posts. So, let me TRY to summarize this whole thing in one place. Wall of text, INC. What, Why and How WHAT What is flashing? Flashing usually refers to altering or replacing the firmware on a chip. The graphic card firmware (stored on a chip on the card itself) is data that contains stuff like clock speed, fan control, and more importantly: data for communicating with the computer. The computer also carries a firmware chip, on the motherboard. The code on this chip is the first code that runs when you start your computer. Amongst other things, it communicates with your computer components (Hey, like the graphic card!). The firmware on PC computers is called BIOS. BIOS is like 20 years old or something, but moving away from it would be a pain for Microsoft, so they are stuck with it for a while longer. On Macs however, the firmware is EFI, a successor to BIOS. So Macs speak EFI and PCs speak BIOS. What does the graphic card speak? Well, as you may know, there are "Mac Graphic Cards" and "PC Graphic Cards". The PC cards carry BIOS firmware. So inserting them into a Mac will result in black screen, because the computer fails to initialize them! So the Mac cards probably carry EFI firmwares, right? Not quite! They actually carry a BIOS firmware with a EFI addition. They are compatible with both! The EFI addition helps the Mac initialize the card, and the rest data, fan speed, clock speed, etc is read from the BIOS portion. Maybe you are thinking, how can Windows run on Macs if they use EFI? Windows does not support EFI! Thing is, the Mac can emulate BIOS. This is needed for booting Windows through boot camp. It will not help BIOS Graphic cards to boot OSX. But! It WILL help PC graphic cards booting Windows. This means that you can use a PC Graphic card in your Mac if you are booting Windows or another OS then OSX. However, since no OSX stuff will run with the PC card, the Bootloader (the list of OS you get when holding alt / option button at boot) will not be accessable when using a PC card. You must select windows in Startup Disk in system preferences in OSX, then shut down, then insert PC card, and from that point your Mac will act just like a PC. So, to recap: PC Cards: Works in PC's, works in Mac when Booting Windows Mac Cards: Works in PC's, works in Mac when Booting Windows or OSX You see what the PC cards are missing? Yes, the ability to boot OSX. And what was it that the PC cards where missing on the firmware? That's right, the EFI addition. So... maybe it's possible to cut that EFI addition from a Mac Card Firmware, and simply paste it on a PC Card firmware? And it will work in OSX? Thanks to The Rominator, netkas, and Pipomolo42, we quickly discovered that it was. WHY Why would you want to run OSX by a PC Graphic Card? Two words: Price - Performance Apple does not only charge premium for their computers, but also for their Graphic Cards. Right now the price on ATI 4870 512mb is $ 349 on Apple Store. The same card but PC version can be found for $ 130 or less (although becoming more hard to find, because Apple purchased the last 4870 cards before they stopped manufacturing) Also, while Apple offers the 512MB version only, PC cards are available at double the video Ram, 1GB. Furthermore, excotic versions of the 4800 series are availbe for PC, like the more powerful 4890. HOW "How, how how... this seems to complicated, my head is about to explode!! maybe this is something for the hacker guys only" Sure, if you got that attitude, quit right now. The truth though really is that this **** ain't hard. If you can muster the strenght to read this guide twice, you probably have a 95% success chance. The more complicated stuff starts right here. So, from the top: What do you need to flash a PC card to work in a Mac? 1. Power 2. Card 3. ROM (Firmware) 4. A Flashing Tool POWER The graphic cards today are hungry. The 4800 and 5800 series require two power connectors. You have two choices for providing these: 1. Using Motherboard Cables Mac Pro motherboard has two connectors for powering graphic cards. These connectors are special and you will not find the right cable in a PC store. The cable you are looking for is usually called G5 Graphic Power Cable and can be found on Ebay or ATI.COM store. These are the cables that is used for Apple's graphic cards. So if you are replacing maybe a x1900, which uses 1 cable, you can use that cable and only have to buy 1 more. You can also make your own: http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost...postcount=2243 2. Using Molex (DVD drive) On the Mac Pro 06, 07 and 08, the Superdrive bay has two molex power connectors. If you are using only 1 DVD drive, you have a second Molex connector just sitting there. You can use it to power a Graphic Card by attaching several cable converters. I have a guide here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=418279 The connector to insert into the Graphics card usually looks like this: But some cards have a 8 pin hole instead. Some people have reported that using a 6 pin cable in the 8 pin hole still works fine. Also, there are adapters available: CARD You can't just pick any PC card and magically have it work in OSX. The cards we have gotten to work are the one closely related to Apple's cards. Right now, it's the 4870 and 4890. 4850 progress can be found here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=668608 Why not nvidia cards? Because the rom chip on PC nvidia cards are usually too small to have room for EFI addition. Apple Nvidia cards uses a bigger rom chip. But there are 1000 different 4870 and 4890 cards! Which manufacturer to choose? The problem is that the cards made today are very much different from Apple's 4870. In the beginning, there where 1 XFX card, 1 Sapphire card, 1 MSI card, you get the idea. Now there are OC version, XXX version, Vapor-X version and alot of other crap. Those card are very much different from the original Reference 4870 or 4890, both physically and in the firmware. This makes it hard, and if soon not impossible, to add the EFI addition to these special version cards. So what you are looking for is a card that is NOT a overclocked version, and does NOT have a wierd looking fan. (You can always overclock and add a fan to the card later) Here are the top success cards for 4870 and 4890: A good idea when choosing a card might be to find another person (or post) of success and track down the ROM (firmware). Because the ROMs are the things you're really going to have to hunt for. ROM (Firmware) This flashing thing has been around for a while, so there are tons of Mac Modified roms for PC cards out there (there=this forum) However, The ROM is different between card models. One Mac Modified 4870 Rom will not work for all PC 4870 cards. If there is a XFX 4890 of model ZWFC, it's ROM is going to be different, and possibly incompatible with a XFX 4890 of model ZWFL. Also, a deeper problem appears. Because the Model itself can have different revisions. XFX 4890 Model ZWFC Rev. 1.6 XFX 4890 Model ZWFC Rev. 5.4 XFX 4890 Model ZWFC Rev. E.0 Even though they are of same card (4890) of same manufacturer (XFX) of same model (ZWFC), and looks physically the same, the revision can be different and that means the ROM is different. This is really how specific a ROM needs to be. But if you are lucky, you will find a ROM that is cross compatible. For instance, maybe the XFX ZWFC E.0 ROM will work on a 5.4. Or maybe even on a different manufacturer, like a Sapphire card. What you should do is this. Scan all your local and online retailers for cards looking like the ones in the Card Table. Ask the retailer for the Model and Revision (this can be found on a sticker outside the box usually) Then try the search function to find if anyone else had success with that card. As Roms can be so individual, it's a good idea to back up your original rom first. You can do so with GPU-Z (google it) in Windows. Click the small green arrow. There is a small gathering of ROMs for 4890 and 4870 here: http://groths.se/atiflashingtool/ROMS.zip Peloche has made a great 4890 rom table here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost...postcount=1786 There are also (hundreds?) of roms scattered in the Card threads (Use search function!) http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=713428 - 4890 http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=661681 - 4870 But if your card does not have a compatible Mac Rom out there. What to do? Well, you could create your own! Peloche made great instructions of Pipomolos method. Download this: http://groths.org/zeus/XYZ.zip Included everything you need for making a 4870 or 4890 rom If you fail at your attempt, upload your original rom in the right thread and maybe some kind dude will help you out. So, you have a Mac Modified ROM that is probably going to work for your card. Now what? FLASHING TOOL Flash Graphic Cards in Windows: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/...ng/vidcard/152 Flash Graphic Cards in DOS: http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost...postcount=1272 Instructions are for PC but DOS works on MacPro too: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=238190 Flashing Graphic Cards in OSX: I just finished my new OSX Flashing Tool, Zeus http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=877437 Now you probably have your PC card up and running in OSX ! All done ? Nope, there is ONE MORE THING Excotic cards like the 4890 carries a Device ID that OSX graphics driver does not recognize. To add support, you need netkas QE CI patch. Without this, the card will run, but at low resolution and no 3D graphics. These can be installed with Zeus under Driver. Further documentation can be found inside the Help tab. There you have it Additional things to know about flashed cards: For 4870 / 4890 cards: Only one DVI port is dual link ( supports 30" screens) second is single link. Cards with other ports then DVI may not work properly, search Dual displays works under Snow Leopard only. You can not use VGA ( vga-dvi converter ) on the card. If you are unlucky, your ROM is so different that it will cause a bug, the "power cable bug". When booting OSX a popup will appear, saying your card does not have enough power. It's just a cosmetic bug, cards works fine, so just click OK. This works on ALL Mac Pro's Modding Fan Behaviour http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost...postcount=1516 I will probably have to add more to this later... Also if any info is wrong please correct... May have got stuff wrong.

This is defiantly make it more clear and easier to understand...
I am really thinking of trying this out, but I am having a hard time (no impossible time) finding cards that look like those in the pic. So how do I know what is good to go with. Newegg has this one, is it a good choice? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150438 Ebay also has a couple, but they look like the new egg one or something other than what is in the pic above. Should I give it a shot, or just get the official 4870? Thanks for putting this together! |

Had this issue on both my old HD7950 and new R9 290X
Wondering if its related to the 14.2 drivers
Basically I launch the game go into the settings and i cant change the resolution from 1280x720, its not that im changing it then not applying it. there is actually no options to change it to.
Noticed in Rayman Legends and Resident Evil 4 HD so far.
Im also having some framerate issues in Rayman Legends, which i dont think should happen with a r9 290x.
My processor is also FX-9370 8 core and 16gb ram..
Any ideas appriciated

Re-accreditation ensures
athletic training majors at Manchester
continue to stretch their opportunities
Students majoring in athletic training at Manchester College seem to get all the breaks:
§ They get to intern with professional hockey and baseball teams, and the San Diego Chargers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts
§ They do well on their certification exams. Since the program's inception in 1984, Jim Read and 25 other grads have passed the athletic training certification exam on the first try. That success rate far exceeds the national average.
§ They are studying in an accredited program that meets nationally recognized standards, making them eligible to sit for that certification exam.
The Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education has re-accredited Manchester's athletic training major through the 2009-2010 academic year, when the commission will conduct another comprehensive evaluation. The accreditation brings the support of The American Academy of Family Physicians, The American Academy of Pediatrics, The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and The National Athletics Trainers' Association, Inc.
Commission Chair Paula Turocy commended Manchester for its "commitment to the advancement of quality education in athletic training, as well as your dedication to the preparation of highly qualified athletic training professionals."
Manchester will have 47 athletic training majors this fall, said Professor Mark W. Huntington, director of the program. Huntington started the program in 1984; today, the program has three full-time faculty members and five adjunct faculty members.
Fifty-five MC grads are certified athletic trainers, including Jim Read, who now is an athletic trainer and physical education teacher at Concord High School, in Elkhart, Ind.

Laptop AC Power Adapter Tips
How to pick the right laptop AC adapters?
All new laptops come with AC adapters. Adapters are used for charging laptop batteries and also used to supply power directly. There are occasions which we require to buy an AC adapter. Most laptop users travel, for tdose travel to Europe or US they require AC adapters that take 100-240 voltage input and output 16 voltage or 19 voltage.
Let us present 3 easy steps to pick the right laptop AC adapters.
1. Finding the right "tips" - Different laptops have different connectors. You need the right tip for your laptop. This is very simply to find. Basically, laptop AC adapters comprise of 2 ends. One end is male power outlet. You use this end to plug into wall power outlet. The other end is called "TIP" which you will plug this tip into the "DC IN" in your laptop.
Your laptop won't work on the wrong tip. You can only use the " matching Tips"
Warning : DO NOT try to force it in.
2. Finding the right "output voltage" - Different laptops were designed to consume power varied by equipments such as CD-Rom, LCD size, CPU maker and CPU speed. You require to use the "matching voltage" . Only use the laptop AC adapters output the matching voltage of your laptops. You can easily locate your laptop voltage. Mostly, voltage is printed on your laptops. You also can check your laptop manual.
3. Find the right "input voltage" - for tdose users who will travel abroad especially to Europe and Asia. You would need laptop AC adapters that compatible with 220-240 voltage also. So it would be wise...and yes...you are!!.... Always look for AC adapters accept 100~240 voltages. 100~240 voltages AC adapters will go with you worldwide. You do not need to carry 2 adapters anymore
How to increase your laptop adapter life?
Did you know that detaching your main laptop adapter from your laptop would increase your laptop's adapter life up to 75%? Our experience and testing have shown that even when you are plugged in with your laptop AC adapter and your adapter is fully charged, the laptop will still use the laptop adapter resources in small increments. This will put unnecessary charge cycles to your adapter. Since typical li-ion laptop adapters have 375 charge cycles, having a fully charged adapter inserted will put unnecessary charge cycles. The downside to removing your laptop adapter maybe a loss of power when the AC adapter is accidentally unplugged or when there is a power outage.
Are there restrictions when taking lithium-ion batteries on planes?
Effective January 1, 2008, the Department of Transportation (DOT) will no longer allow loose lithium batteries in checked baggage. These batteries may continue to be packed in carry-on baggage.

As well as a hollow centre for the lathe, I needed a long drill or auger to actually do the boring.
Trevor Robinson reckons that the ultimate for this purpose is to use shell augers, and even gives some instructions on how to make a shell auger if you don't want to buy them. Now that I have some experience in the matter, I see these instructions as valid enough but not really giving much guidance with the key aspect, which would be the careful and central sharpening and honing of the cutting end.
My approach was more direct: I went to a local hardware shop and bought the longest 6mm drill I could find, which was an auger about 300mm long. This was still too short, but was a good start.
I made this auger longer by the simple expedient of fixing a 6mm steel rod to the end of it. The joint consists of some brass shim wrapped around the shaft, with the whole assembly held together by soft soldering. |
My welding plant was out on loan, otherwise I would have made a steel sleeve and brazed the auger and extension together. In retrospect, this would not have been as good as the brass and solder joint, since it would have been too stiff to adjust for best straightness, without possibly bending the extension or the auger. However, the brass/solder joint was a nice balance between stiffness and adjustability.
Here is the initial stock length, ripped down to a 50mm x 50mm section, being drilled. I clamped a basic guide on the end of the lathe to assist with keeping the drill in the right line. Aligning the bit by eye, I started the bore with a 15mm bit, and turned it with a brace since the lathe did not have enough torque or gearing to turn against this. When this maxed out at about 150mm, I changed to a 10mm spade bit on a 400mm shank and bored that to its full depth, before changing to the auger. |
Looking into the hollow centre. The initial hole is 15mm diameter, bored with a brace and bit. Then it comes down to 10mm diameter, drilled with a spade bit with a 400mm long shank. This provides clearance for the joint in the 6mm auger seen here to pass inside the workpiece. |
Things seemed to going along quite well, and I was becoming quite hopeful, when Pop!, the end of the auger appeared out of the side on the workpiece about 70mm from the end. Bother! |
It is quite apparant that the hole was deviating right from the outset, and that it actually ran in a fairly straight line until it emerged from the side. This was sort of good news, since it suggested that better aiming of the drill would greatly improve the result. |

Sleep Question #2345
posted at 10/6/2011 5:55 AM EDT
I could have posted this at 4am, because I have been awake since then, just not mentally awake. This is becoming a pattern for DS 5 1/2 mon. Waking up at 3:30 or 4, I let him fuss, kick, whine until it turns into full on crying. When I go in he is WIDE awake, there is no letting this kid CIO. So I get him up and feed him, he is hungry. I know kids go through phases etc. but I can't function at work getting up at 4 am! He used to sleep from about 8-6. I started the bedtime routine earlier thinking that going to sleep earlier may help (from heathy sleep habits book), but that didn't work either! I nurse before bed and he eats for a long time, but maybe he needs more? We haven't introduced solids yet b/c of allergies, but maybe it's time. I know that introducing food in the beginning is just to get them used to food and doesn't fill them up or replace a meal.I know I am very lucky to have a child that used to STTN, b/c I know some still don't at this age. I'd be fine getting up at 2 to feed him, but by 4 I have no time to get back to sleep before I have to get up for the day. Any suggestions? Dealing with 20, 5 year olds all day doesn't really work on a few hours of sleep! -
Re: Sleep Question #2345

He probably just needs to eat more, unfortunately. My DD had a sleep regression at 5.5 months but I went back to work then so I always assumed it had to do with that, not growth. What time is his last evening feeding? When do you normally go to sleep? I wonder if you could feed him while he's asleep right before you hop into bed to kind of top him off? That might get him through the night.
The other thing to consider is he's getting old enough to train you. You might want to be careful about going in if he's just enjoying your company.
PS - could he be waking because he is he teething and figuring "what the heck, I could eat right now MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!" -
Re: Sleep Question #2345
posted at 10/6/2011 12:43 PM EDT
My LO won't be here until January, so take this with a grain of salt, but I can think of a few possible solutions. The first is what Lisa said, try dream feeding to see if he is just getting hungry and if that will stretch out his night another hour or two. The second would be if dreamfeeding doesn't work, to pre-emptively wake him up not so close to your actual wake up time so that you and he are both still sleepy and will be more likely to go back to bed and finish out the night sleeping. I've heard that the first 3-4 hours of sleep are the most important (and seems to be true for me), so if you are going to take this route, maybe choose 2am once you've gotten a good enough stretch to not interrupt your needs, but still early enough that he has a good chance of going back to bed. The third might be to wait until he naturally wakes at 4, but not wait until he is in full blown crying and really awake, and then not turning on lights or anything, just feed and put back to bed. This is sort of what I've done with my puppy ... maybe a bad analogy... but anyways... when she wakes up during the night (any time between 3 and 5 is normal for her) I let her out, give her some food, and put her back in the crate without turning on any lights or talking to her. I am intending the message to be "I hear you, I will fullfill your needs, but it is still night and you need to go back to bed". HTH!!

Take this w/ a block of salt b/c I go to bed by 9 and am up at 5 even w/o an alarm clock [I usually wake up naturally around 4.30] Can't you go to bed earlier until he outgrows it? Whatever you are doing at night after he goes to bed, do in the AM. Then adjust your schedule when he starts sleeping longer. -
Re: Sleep Question #2345
posted at 10/6/2011 1:32 PM EDT
Similar to what bostongirl said, I've heard of parents waking their child up to eat at a chosen time to avoid that awkward not-quite-night/not-quite-day wake-up time. I only did it once with DD, and she handled it fine. Good luck! -
Re: Sleep Question #2345
posted at 10/6/2011 1:34 PM EDT
I would check with your pedi about starting solids (even though you are right that it can take awhile before solids provide actual nutrition), if he's waking because he is hungry the solid food will fill him up for longer stretches. Could he be waking because he's cold? The past few weeks it's gotten much chillier outside - is he dressed appropriately, ie sleep sack, heavy weight pajamas etc. Has he been napping during the day in a crib? I'm assuming he's in daycare and they are putting him down on a regular schedule (ie 2 naps a day for at least an hr at a time) but worth a check. Assuming he's not hungry, cold, overtired then my best guess is he is approaching a developmental milestone such as sitting up, going on all fours, rolling over etc that he is waking up to "practice" and which is over stimulating his brain and preventing sleep. My daughter had temporary periods (2-3 weeks at a time) of poor sleeping all through her first year and looking back they were always preceding her learning a new physical skill. It sucks for a few weeks but it sounds like you are doing everything right and hopefully he will outgrow it and move on to the next phase soon! -
Re: Sleep Question #2345
posted at 10/6/2011 1:40 PM EDT
As others have said, it may be a phase. And I'm with ALF - when sleep issues crept in I made sure to go to bed after the 8:00 bottle. That way if one of my twins woke up, I'd gotten a good chunk of sleep. Have your DH help out with whatever is getting done at night (laundry, dishes whatever) and go to bed. It will really help you get over this early waking phase.
Also - I love Weissbluth - but I also used Ferber. He has some good hints for early wakers that might work. -
Re: Sleep Question #2345

My DS had hip dysplasia and was in a full body cast for a while. Long story short, he went from being able to have 6oz bottles to only getting about 4oz before he ran into space issues with his expanding belly and the cast. This threw his sleep off big-time, since he needed more than 4oz in his belly to go through the night. So we talked with our Pedi and she said to give him his night bottle with a tablespoon of rice cereal in it. You have to mix it well and use a nipple that has a larger flow (we use Tommy Tippee and the "variable flow" nipples have what looks like an "X" on top). If you look at the rice cereal box, we basically followed the suggestion for "first-time feeding" but long-term. Even once he started eating more solids during the day, that little bit extra with the cereal in the bottle let him get through the night. We used bottles to feed him the whole time since he was a poor nurser, so that didn't change our nighttime routine at all. Once he was out of the cast and really doing solids 2-3 times a day, we didn't need to keep going with the rice cereal in the bottle. So we probably did it for 2-3 months and it seemed to really help him. You may want to try something like that to get him that extra hour that he (and YOU!) need...good luck - sleeping cycles change constantly it seems. Just when you get into a good routine, something new will happen and you have to re-adjust. My DS is just over 10 months old now and doing fine with the hips. He is typically a good sleeper, but there are those times...he also isn't great with crying it out. If he wakes himself up fully, it is MUCH MUCH worse to try to get him to go down again. It is easier to catch him when he is just stirring and help get him his binky/blanket/lovie/whatever to get him to realize it isn't time to wake up just yet.
Re: Sleep Question #2345
posted at 10/6/2011 4:18 PM EDT
and ajuly- although the early food doesn't replace the nutrition from breastfeeding/formula, it does change their hunger patterns. so like LCGC noted, it may help to add a bit of cereal. -
Re: Sleep Question #2345
posted at 10/6/2011 6:29 PM EDT
Ajuly-I feel your pain because I also work in a school (a high school) and DD woke up in the night until 9 months. However, she never STTN until I sleep trained and now she sleeps 11 hours straight. My guess is that he is hungry and that you could try dream feeding him to see what will happen. I have friends who tried it with variable success.
In my experience, adding solids didn't change a thing. It's also not too early to start sleep training. When we slept trained DD, my DH would wake and change her diaper and put her back to bed. She stopped waking up when she realized she wasn't getting any food. She was older so it took about 3 nights of this. You may want to try that instead of CIO. DS will figure it out fairly soon. -
Re: Sleep Question #2345
posted at 10/6/2011 7:37 PM EDT
Sounds like it could be one many things and here's to hoping it's just a phase. DS sleeps well for the sitter during the day, two naps each from 1-2 hrs long. I have him in a sleep sack now we'll see if that does anything. I do need to do something to prevent him from thinking that he'll always get fed if he wakes up, if he really does not need the food. Nene I like your suggestion of changing him and putting him back to sleep. We have his 6 Mon appt next week and I will ask, but I know what her answer will be since at the 4 Mon appt she said don't feed him in the middle of the night after 4 mon! I have been going to bed very early, but I require a lot of sleep, and still am exhausted. I need to learn to get used to it, just like other moms do! If I wake up and feed him and put him back to bed, I can't fall back asleep knowing I have to get up in an hour. Thanks for all the advice! I'll have to ask the pedi about solids. -

ajuly -I was thinking of you at 4 am when DD woke up!! I didn't have anything to add yesterday because DD doesn't wake up often. When she does, it's usually around 2 am, so there is time to go back to sleep for a bit.
One thing I have noticed the past 2 times she woke up is that she went back to sleep way sooner when I just held her in the rocking chair (didn't even rock), as opposed to walking around and shooshing and singing and all that. She typically stays awake for at least 2 hours, but the past 2 times she was up for less than an hour. I'm ready to try CIO, but DH thinks I am the devil when I try that so it will have to wait a little longer. -
Re: Sleep Question #2345
posted at 10/7/2011 1:44 PM EDT
If it were me, I'd start going to bed pretty early and get my chores done in the morning before work until he outgrows this phase. Not fun, I'm no morning person, but it's better than going to bed at 10 and getting up at 4. Should be easy enough to start since you've got to be totally exhausted. -

Just when you think you have their sleep schedule figured out, they change it on you! As DS gets older he is getting better at going to sleep on his own. We tried CIO a few months ago and knew it was way too early for it. If he gets up to eat in the middle of the night now I just plop him down in the crib and leave after I have fed him . He stirs for a while then falls asleep. I hope your DD waking up then was a one time thing! -
Re: Sleep Question #2345
posted at 10/10/2011 12:26 PM EDT
Ajuly - we do a dream feed with DD. She has dinner (puree) and a few oz of formula around 6/6:30, then she usually wants to sleep by 7:30/8. I do wake her around 9:30 and give her about a 6 or 7oz bottle which she eats eagerly but also stays half asleep for. If I didn't do that, she'd awake around 2 or 3 for food.
Is there any hypoallergenic cereal your DS could start? I'm pretty sure a coworker used the Happy Baby cereal for her DS who had lots of allergies in infancy and was on hypoallergenic formula.
Good luck! -
Re: Sleep Question #2345

Fram - your post made me laugh b/c my DH also thinks I'm the devil if I try to let DS cry it out. DH gets SO distressed at the baby crying - it is cute that he cares about DS, but also makes me crazy. I don't enjoy him CIO either, but it is a necessary evil at some point. And my DS has gotten a lot better with whining/crying a tiny bit while he tries to turn over/re-adjust himself in bed without actually waking up and going into a full-out wail. So even if we don't let him CIO for 10 min+, waiting to see if the 10 seconds turns into an actual cry vs. him getting settled and being done is so important! They are definitely old enough to learn bad behaviors (eg: I cry and I get food, so I'm gonna cry some more!).
Ajuly - I hope your 6mo appt goes well and that you can get some advice from the pedi too about what might help to get the sleeping into a better pattern for you. GL! -
Re: Sleep Question #2345
posted at 10/11/2011 12:30 PM EDT
I know CIO can be a heated topic (I personally will not use it for DD but think it works for some, but isn't 5.5 mo too young for that? Everything I have read says 6 mo is the minimum age for starting any type of sleep training.
Regardless - ajuly, I had a similar issue. DD slept thru the night from about 7 weeks to about 4 months. She is now almost 8 mo and I don't remember the last time she STTN. For us it has been a wide variety of issues, growth spurts (4 mo and 6 mo) are something that hasn't been mentioned and your baby sounds ripe for one at 5.5 months! We also went through ear infections (twice) and DD woke up screaming in pain every night for days before we figured it out, poor thing. We also have gone through (and still are going through) teething; DD suddenly cannot stand her wet diaper through the night; her room is too cold or too hot, etc, etc etc!
One thing I will note is that as I mentioned above, I can't do CIO. I genuinely don't believe she is conniving enough at 7.5 months to say to herself, hmmm, I cry so Mom/Dad will hold me. I think she wants to sleep as much as I want her to but something is preventing that. Every time I figure out what it is (like you said, just when you think you have it figured out it changes!) she stops crying and goes back to sleep.
I wish you the best of luck! You have received some great advice so far! -
Re: Sleep Question #2345

Sox- my pedi told me to start CIO at 4 months, it was an awful experience and DH was even more traumatized than me. We gave up pretty quickly after DS was in a state of shock, not "so tired that he fell asleep." One time that he did fall asleep he woke up screaming hours later, clearly he did not go to sleep happy. I'd rather rock my kid and nurse him to sleep than deal with a traumatized baby.He is actually falling asleep for naps on his own and sometimes at night. As he gets older it is getting better.

Following an intense first week that included three games in five days, the Bishop Ludden boys basketball team was both tested and testy -- especially since that opening stretch ended with a loss to Bishop Grimes.
Furious at that result, the Gaelic Knights took out that fury on Mexico last Tuesday night, crushing the Tigers by a score of 74-42.
What was a close, 17-14 game broke open in the middle stages. Applying all kinds of pressure and taking full advantage of Mexico's cold shooting, Ludden outscored them 39-14 in the second and third periods to erase the suspense.
All 10 of the Gaelic Knights' players got at least one field goal. Jared Littlejohn, with 17 points, led the way as John Rooney added 16 points. Casey Ganley and Tyler Young each had seven points. Tim Forbes led Mexico with 17 points.
Ludden was back home Friday night to face Cortland -- and promptly got humbled as the much-improved Purple Tigers beat them 69-52.
Cortland showed its strength early, seizing a 16-12 lead, and while Ludden kept it tight and only trailed, 27-25 at the break, things would soon change.
As a whole, the Purple Tigers took apart the Gaelic Knights' defense in the third quarter, piling up 26 points in that frame to build a 53-39 margin.
Even with Rooney getting 13 points and Littlejohn 12 points, Ludden could not overcome that surge as Corey Hunter (seven points) and Young (six points) made smaller contributions. Justin Hogan, with 18 points, led four Cortland players to score in double figures as Jordan Prior (15 points), Brandon Babock (13 points) and Jeff Brown (12 points) hit that mark, too.
So Ludden fell to 3-2 this season, and knows its effort must improve when, this Friday, it hosts "Holy War" rival Christian Brothers Academy, a team it has not beat since 2005. Prior to that, the Gaelic Knights would visit Chittenango Tuesday night.

Cruising in Greece
We sail from the gulf of Orhaniye-Hisoronyu(Turkey) in a Sigma 33. (1/4 share)
We sailed north to Bodrum in the spring last year and visited the Gulf of Gekova which is very beautful.
The Meltem (N/Westerly) rattles through the gap between Kos and the Turkish mainland and it started on the button at 11:00 hours building up to about a force 6 to 7 and by 18:00hours it eased away. The seas are usually short and can get abit lumpy(during the wind) but there is loads of shelter to be had if needed. There is mainly deep water-not at all like the East coast of UK. A good tip I was given is set off early when rounding any penninsulas and- don''t anchor anywhere close to a windmill/ruin. We rely much on the E.Mediteranean pilot by Rod Heikle.(a must) The temperature will be a bit cooler than in Aug(40C.) and should be good.
We have never visited any of the Greek islands -Kos - Simi etc. because of the uncertainty about visitor and VAT (nasty Greek taxes)We hear all sorts of tales happening to visitors located in Turkey who visit the Greek islands.
In your case there should be no problems in visiting Turkey from Kos - just call in at Bodrum first and get your passport stamped.
The Turks are extremely hospitable and honest-we never bother to lock our cabin up.
Places recommended :-
SE Karada island(anchorage)
Cocertme (chockert me) (jetty O/N & eat at Ibrahim''s or the Rosemarie Rest.) -very good.
English Harbour-
is pretty and sheltered,with a good restaurant which specialises in black eyed bream???
Cleopatras beach(we didn''t go here)
Knidos (the ruins and the altar of Aphrodite) should positively not be missed but slip east to moor and eat at either -
Palamut Buku (Ercols) or
Ogun''s place in Ova Buku.
For a town/change, visit
Dacha -on Sat. mornings for the fresh fruit and veg. market- eat at the Papatya Restaurant- excellant!
Finally if you get time visit Orhaniye- perhaps eat at ''The Dogan Hotel'' and ''Zuhals Rest.''(he grows excellant Parsnips-I gave him some seed in spring)
On the way back to Kos - call in at
Dirsek Buku- very pretty -the lagoon is bursting with fish and the restaurant was broken into by a Porcupine once when we were there.
Expect to pay about $16 for a three course meal plus drinks-usually the mooring for the night is free usually with water and electric thrown in. Always ask for prices before ordering and don''t worry about bargaining/haggleing- It is form to go into the rear of the restaurant and look at the food in the fridges & on offer.
We will be there in early October
(ship called BRANDY)
Hope you have a good time
We Will!
Cheers Don

Sorry Chico the Leo from Ghetto style DJ's in Miami www.grownfolksmiami.com has been doing this for 17 years but as usual white people take all the credit.
"The challenge is to do it right but do it quickly. We only get one rehearsal, which is the sound check on the day of the show, but that's no excuse for doing it half-assed," Flatt says. "One of the reasons I got into this line of work is that I got fed up with seeing my heroes sing with pickup bands who seemed lost or uninterested."
Saturday night's headliner, Lonnie Lester, has played Albany and Buffalo, but never made it to New York City. Lester, a native of Gary, Indiana, has been a singer since 1959 when he opened for The Drifters. He'll turn 77 in April and stays busy singing at restaurants, corporate functions, and retired living communities near his home in Indianapolis. "I didn't live like the big boys, but it was a job," Lester says.
For Dig Deeper's 51st show, Lewis and Robinson have compiled a set list of tracks that Lester recorded on the small Gary-based label Nu-Tone. Although songs such as "So This is Love" and "You Choose" sound like they should have been hits in their day, Lester's singles never got traction. Still, they're the kind of songs that Dig Deeper's audience leaves a show treasuring. Devotees of this soul revival keep returning because they've come to trust DJ Honky and Mr. Robinson to deliver a quality show, no matter how unfamiliar they are with the featured act.
"I can't do splits anymore, but I can entertain the crowd, and if I do a split they're going to need to have some kind of ambulance near the stage," Lester says. "My voice is still pretty strong; I'm never going to sound like I did anymore, but you'll know it's me."
Lonnie Lester performs at Dig Deeper at Littlefield on Saturday, March 8. $15, littlefieldnyc.com
