Longevity Welding Announces Some Dos and Don't while Metal Welding
Welding Metal is a process of permanently joining together two pieces of metal by melting them. After the metals have cooled, the process of welding would have merged them into one piece forever.
Hayward, CA (PRWEB) May 25, 2012
Welding Metal is a process of permanently joining together two pieces of metal by melting them. After the metals have cooled, the process of welding would have merged them into one piece for ever. The most popular methods of welding metal sheet are spot welding, which entails welding metal at a particular point, and seam welding, which helps to weld metal down a line. Spot welding is normally used for metal of around 3 mm thickness. Unfortunately, though, one draw back of spot welding metal is that metals which are not alike in physical and chemical properties cannot be spot welded, and other welding methods need to be resorted to.
"There is hardly any industry which has never come across metal welding," says Simon Katz, President, Longevity Welding. Low carbon steels are the best Metal available. Due to the low percentage of their carbon content, they are easy to weld and do not become hard and brittle on heating. Those steels and alloys which have high carbon content, on the other hand, become very hard, brittle, and cracked once they are welded. These steels and alloys can be tempered before welding. Among stainless steels, Ferric stainless steel and Austenitic stainless steel in the 300 series are very welder friendly. Martensitic stainless steels, though, being very hard, cannot be easily spot welded. like aluminium has to be undertaken on clean, oxide free surfaces, but this requires the use of extremely high power.
There are some considerations that must be followed, especially while metal welding by the spot method. The thickness of the two metal pieces to be welded must be equal. At the outset, the ratio of their thickness must not exceed 3:1. The minimum weld to form distance should be the bend radius coupled with one weld diameter. The distance between the centers of the weld to the edge should be at least twice the diameter of the weld. The spacing between the two or welds must be ten times the stock thickness. Care should be taken that the electrode is not obstructed from entering the metal. Multiple bends or joints in the may not weld easily, and this may give rise to a need for special fixtures or accessories in order to fuse them perfectly. As far as possible, it must be tried that the two parts fit into each other naturally, without any need for artificial accessories to fuse them. This will bring out the best results while metal welding.
Whatever method of welding metal may be chosen by the welder to suit the needs of the welds, the equipment that is used should always be of superior quality. Compromise on the quality of the welding machine or its accessories would only spell low grade work, and can create major infrastructural hassles apart from being a black mark on the reputation of the welders. For the best of the best equipment and welding accessories, Longevity Welding can be of service. With its vast collection of welding machines like ArcMate LW-200ACDC, this online equipment store offers the best bargains in town, giving delivery in the best time you can hope for.

Henry Stanley Plummer
|Henry Stanley Plummer, MD
Dr. Henry Plummer
March 3, 1874
Hamilton, Fillmore County, Minnesota
|December 31, 1936
(aged 62)
Rochester, Minnesota
|Medical degree
|Alma mater
|Northwestern University
|internist and endocrinologist
|Known for
|Mayo Clinic
|Robert and Gertrude
|Dr. William A. Plummer (brother)
Henry Stanley Plummer, M.D. (internist and endocrinologist who, along with Drs. William Mayo, Charles Mayo, Stinchfield, E. Starr Judd, Christopher Graham, and Donald Balfour founded Mayo Clinic. Dr. Plummer is also immortalized as the driving force behind the Plummer Building, which still stands as a part of the Clinic he helped establish.March 3, 1874 – December 31, 1936 ) was a prominent
Plummer was born in Hamilton, Fillmore County, Minnesota. He earned his medical degree from Chicago's Northwestern University in 1898, and then returned to Racine, Minnesota to assist his father Dr. Albert Plummer in private practice.
He became a partner in the Clinic practice in 1901, and Dr. William Mayo would later quip that hiring Dr. Plummer was the best day's work he had ever done.
In 1917 construction began on the Plummer House, the English Tudor mansion where Dr. Plummer and his family lived. The house was designed by Ellerbe & Round, and boasted many innovations that were rare at the time. Daisy Plummer gave the furnished house and property to the Rochester Art Center in 1971. Her wish was that the house and grounds would be used by the people of Rochester and Clinic guest as a Center for the Arts. This remarkable gift was later transferred to the Rochester Park and Recreation Department and is now used as a rental facility for private parties.
Not only a talented physician, Dr. Plummer was also a successful scientist and inventor. He developed a cable-carrier system for circulating correspondence within the clinic, directed the early development of Mayo's clinical laboratories, as well as bringing in Louis B. Wilson[1] in 1905 to develop and manage the diagnostic and research labs, and was the first to understand and operate an X-ray machine at the Clinic. Dr. Will Mayo called Plummer "a pioneer in the development of X-ray diagnosis and therapy". Perhaps one of his greatest contributions was the development of a simple, easily retrievable medical record system that became the model for record keeping worldwide.
In the early 1920s, Dr. Plummer worked with Ellerbe & Round to design the building that now bears his name. Located in downtown Rochester, Minnesota, the Plummer Building was well ahead of its time, boasting many amenities that are still in use today including a telephone system, cross-indexed patient records, a power plant, subways, and a pneumatic tube delivery system. Dr. Plummer is considered by many to be the architect of the modern medical practice. His innovative system and building designs, as well as his early understanding of the importance of the diagnostic and research aspects of the clinical practice, allowed for the creation of the integrated group practice and medical specialization.
Plummer died in Rochester, Minnesota. He was known to many as a diversified genius.
Plummer-Vinson syndrome is named after him and Porter Paisley Vinson. Plummer's nail refers to the separation of the nail from the nailbed which occurs in thyrotoxicosis and psoriatic arthritis.
Personal life[edit]
He had a wife, Daisy, and two adopted children, Robert and Gertrude. Henry Plummer's younger brother, Dr. William Albert Plummer, was also a prominent Mayo physician. The two Plummer brothers represented the next generation of medical practitioner, and helped usher in the modern medical age with innovations such as the integrated group practice and specialization.

Henrik Lundqvist probably had a sore head recently thanks to his bachelor party in Sweden. That's fine. What we don't want to see however, is the King getting a sore groin/knee/back/insert body part, next season. Which brings back to a question that gets asked every season: how many games is an acceptable amount for Lundqvist?
For the first time in his Rangers tenure, last season Lundqvist was able to fall back on a reliable, capable NHL backup. No question marks, just an experienced goaltender at his side that could be trusted to spell the perennial Vezina candidate when needed. The problem this time was that Marty Biron got injured. While Hank got rest and played less games than he had in several seasons he still ended the season playing 20+ in a row thanks to a lack of trust/readiness in the goalies in the system behind Biron.
With Biron fit and ready to resume his Rangers career what is this season's magic number, the split, which the goalies get? Biron was an excellent acquisition for the Blueshirts who at one point last year even had a few Rangers fans thinking out loud about a goalie controversy (which, with all due respect to Biron was ridiculous) but the point remains that Biron delivered when he was fit.
How many games are too much for Lundqvist, a goalie that likes to play a lot? What number of games leaves Lundqvist well rested for the playoffs which the Rangers will likely enter with increased expectancy and – a legitimate consideration – what is a number that gives Lundqvist the best opportunity to add individual glory (hello Mr overdue Vezina) to potential team success? Whether players admit it or not, individual goals are important to them as, should Lundqvist win a Vezina or two (to go with a cup), the Hall and a jersey retirement become appealing realistic goals.
Are 60 games enough for the Rangers to rest their most important player while giving him an opportunity to chase personal glory? Can Marty Biron hold the fort for 20+ games? As well as improving the power play and integrating the new players (Rupp, Richards, Erixon etc), how many games the most critical goaltender to any franchise in the league plays remains one of the most important questions needing answering this summer.

Flying Pig Marathon.
Cincinnati came up short in its bid to host the marathon time trials for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
The men's and women's street race events were awarded to Los Angeles, which hosted the Olympic Games in 1932 and 1984 and plans to bid for the 2024 Games.
Cincinnati, L.A. and Houston were the finalists for the time trials. The three cities made a final presentation to USA Track & Field, the sport's national governing body, at the organization's annual meetings in December in Indianapolis.
Four USATF officials visited Cincinnati in September and looked over the proposed course, hotels and the convention center, and met with city leaders, according to Jackie Reau, board chair of the Greater Cincinnati Sports Corporation.
The Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon in partnership with the Greater Cincinnati Sports Corporation put together Cincinnati's bid with input from two-time Olympic marathoner Ryan Hall, Reau said during a September.
Hall, winner of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials, visited Cincinnati on Aug. 8 and ran the proposed course, an 8-mile loop through downtown and Northern Kentucky. After getting Hall's critique, local officials switched to a 6-mile loop.
Hall suggested the course was too hilly.
"He gave us some great feedback," Reau said. "We made it flatter and tightened it up so now it's basically a 6-mile perimeter of downtown and the riverfront."
Marathoners would run the course four times.
During his visit, Hall supported the city on its bid.
"The running community is so vibrant here. Twenty-three percent of people in Cincinnati say they run. We'd have huge crowds. It would be a really exciting atmosphere," Hall said.
The trials will include the top 100 male and 100 female runners and attract a national TV audience and thousands of visitors.
No date has been set for the event.
The 2016 Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro Aug. 5-21.

hey, first time grower, first time indoor grower also...
i searched a few spots online checking out some homemade drip irrigation systems. can anyone recommend or post their homemade DIS? i'm in the vegetative state and find myself constantly checking my little ones for dry soil. most of the DIS's i've seen are for when the plant is a little bigger and can accompany a 1-2 liter plastic bottle in the soil next to the plant. i can't do something like that just yet due to the small container my sprouts rest in at the moment and how close to the light it is.
any help is greatly appreciated.
ps - you guys have helped me out tremendously since i became a member of the foums just a couple weeks ago. thanks so much!

Homemade slow drip irrigation systems...
hey, first time grower, first time indoor grower also... i searched a few spots online checking out...
Posted 11 May 2009 - 07:34 PM
What about AquaGlobes? I'm going to look into them myself.
Posted 11 May 2009 - 07:53 PM
yeah, i've seen them. i'm wondering if they are just another "as seen on TV" crap product.
any Aqua Globe users here?
any Aqua Globe users here?
Posted 11 May 2009 - 09:02 PM
I did some reading, AquaGlobe sounds ineffective, Just build a drip system if need be, I think I may myself. I'll post a DIY after I'm done building it. But to do it easy mode yourself Drip irrigation - The Drip Store, drip irrigation for home garden, including drip irrigation for farm and greenhouses It's pretty simple to do.
Posted 11 May 2009 - 09:15 PM
aque globe wast of money do not buy again waste of money have a great dya
Posted 11 May 2009 - 10:08 PM
yeah, i was reading about them Aqua Globes being shitty too. when making a homemade DIS, what size drill bit should i be using to make holes (in the pvc or tubing) to ensure proper drip and not a stream of water leaking out?
Posted 11 May 2009 - 10:32 PM
I'd assume an 1/8 inch, you could also get some glue to make a sound proof seal. but it'd be prefered if you didnt' have to do that, cuz you want to replace tubes and clean pipes as often as possible, since this will be drip feeding to your babies, you wanna make sure it all goes well.
Posted 11 May 2009 - 10:35 PM
ok, so at 1/8", what rate will the water drip? i'm in the vegetative stage, so i'll only have a max pot size of 3 gal.
Posted 11 May 2009 - 10:37 PM
Sorry, probably 1/4", I'm currently researching it myself, check the link I linked earlier for drip irrigation systems, this will give you a general idea about the drip system, also you could buy a timer there as well, personally I'm going to go to home depot and re-create my own system.
Posted 11 May 2009 - 10:50 PM
ok. definitely let me know how you make out with DIY. i plan on rigging something up too, as i'm sure there are many ways to go about making one.

We where really pleased with our stay at ashcroft. The entertainment staff where fantastic. They made each age group have something to do for fun. We took a 11 year old and two 5 year olds and there was so much for them to do . I would give a 10/10 for the effort the entertainers put in which worked very hard. We really liked the out door pool and all the facility's . We would go back again. Very friendly and helpful staff.

A flexible lomo simulation plugin for py-gimp. Design inspired by several other authors who are credited in the README file, plus some of my own ideas.
This is a series of scripts that implement various layer effects:
Some effects can have contours (a.k.a. curves) and noise added to them. Effects can either be applied on a separate layer, or be merged into the active layer (which in some cases gives better results).
Tested with GIMP 2.4.2.
Updated 4/12/2012:
A python script that generates a contact sheet or index print containing a configurable number of images. Multiple sheets are generated, the filename can also be included.
Hey if you find this plugin useful or useless send me an email, it has been downloaded 1000's of times but very seldom do I get any feedback.
To install copy to ~/.gimp?-?/plug-ins/ directory or /usr/lib/gimp2-0/plug-ins/ and make executable with chmod +x contactsheet.py
This plugin adds multiple guidelines to the actual image.
New guides can be simply added by pressing the "Add"-button. The last guide can be deleted by pressing the "Remove"-Button.
This tool is very useful if you make weblayouts and don't want to select every guide from the ruler.
Remember to chmod+x the file. Put it in "plug-ins"-folder.
- initial release
- freshen with GTK gui
- put under CC-BY-SA license
- added possibility to add guides in percent
PyTileLayers tiles the layers of an image and adds a background.
Webpage: http://www.trueelena.org/proj/scripts/tile_layers.php
btn4ws generates a series of buttons for use on websites. The plugin generates the buttons for 3 different states (active, inactive, pressed) and can apply different effects (supernova, patterns, shadows) onto the buttons. btn4ws can also create valid XHTML, CSS and JavaScript output for using the buttons. btn4ws is a python based plugin for GIMP 2.x (tested with GIMP 2.4.3)
Unless otherwise noted, the rights for the individual plugins are with their respective authors. Logo image by Jakub Steiner.

Latest Srebrenica massacre Stories
Researchers from North Carolina State University are proposing a health-based approach to identifying groups at high risk of genocide, in a first-of-its-kind attempt to target international efforts to stop these mass killings before they start.
GlobalSign, a Belgian security firm, has stopped issuing authentication certificates for websites.
FORMER Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic yesterday refused to enter pleas to 11 war crimes charges.
Bosnian Muslim survivors of the Srebrenica massacre (above) listen to news of the initial war-crimes tribunal appearance of Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader accused of directing a reign of terror during the 1992-95 war.
By CLAIRE SOARES For the women of Srebrenica - wives who lost their husbands, daughters robbed of their fathers and brother, mothers who buried sons - it was a day they thought would never come, as Radovan Karadzic appeared in the dock, accused of masterminding and marshalling a campaign of genocide against the Bosnian Muslims.
RADOVAN Karadzic is hidden from view in this helicopter waiting to take the former Bosnian Serb leader from Rotterdam to The Hague yesterday. But today he will finally be fully under public scrutiny as he faces a UN war crimes tribunal charged with genocide in the 1992-95 Bosnia war.
Public Bosnian B-H TV One devotes a half of its prime-time evening newscast to Radovan Karadzic's first appearance before the Hague tribunal.
By MIKE CORDER By Mike Corder The Associated Press THE HAGUE, Netherlands The Yugoslav war crimes tribunal has Radovan Karadzic in custody, 13 years after indicting the Bosnian Serb leader on genocide charges.
By The Associated Press 7 Bosnian Serbs guilty of genocide SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) -- The Bosnian war crimes court convicted seven Bosnian Serbs of genocide Tuesday in the 1995 massacre of Bosnian Muslims at Srebrenica and handed down prison sentences ranging from 38 to 42 years.

Still Playing with Dolls
So yeah, I was a Barbie girl in 1960 and I'm not embarrassed to admit it. And now that I think about it, Barbie probably did affect my self esteem, but in a good way--I learned to have a fashion sense at an early age and even now I know a good outfit when I see one.

I took my Barbies with me when I moved out many, many years ago. I did let my niece play with them (with supervision) when she was little, and then my daughter too when she came along. Now I've given my daughter everything I had, including some handmade clothes my great grandmother made for them. Sometimes it's good to hold onto these things...but for me it was even better to let them go! :0)ReplyDelete
Isn't it funny the crazy things people came up with to "put Barbie down"? My Mom (birthmom) hated Barbie and I never had one as a child. I was given one once and she threw it in the trash compactor! Then later in life when my Step-Mom was cleaning out her Father's house so he could move she found her old dolls and gave me her Barbie. I didn't appreciate it at the time, but I knew it was special and somehow had the sense that I would covet it later in life, so I put it aside in a box for safe keeping. A few years ago I had her appraised at $300-$500 from a lady who runs Calgary's local Barbie collector club. Crazy!ReplyDelete
My Mom gave away all of my Barbie dolls, clothing, and a wooden home for her. It had closets that opened and closed, a bathroom, and a kitchen with "real" food, etc. The bed had sheets.ReplyDelete
It was a dark day...
I still have my Tiny Tears doll though, with her green forehead, because I used to give her a bath every night and wash her hair.
Hi -ReplyDelete
I loved your barbie post.
I have a collection of Barbie things and I treasure them all. But mostly it's my blue square carrying case and my 2 twin, fold down Sleep and Keep, circa 1970 - very groovy.
My name is Barbara and I was born in 1962, guess what I wall called all through my girlhood ;)
- Mary Z in ILWednesday, May 26, 2010 12:24:00 PM
I used to sew and knit Barbie outfits for my younger sister and my daughter. I wish I had some of them now! I left all of my things for my sister to play with when I left home and later on when I realized I should have kept some, they were gone. I guess my Mother decided to clean house and probably assumed that since I hadn't taken them that I didn't want them. I made a lot of tiny knitted clothes.ReplyDelete
I also had a wonderful little wood china cabinet with a tiny tea set and some other china dishes. I think my Uncle may have made it for me. I sure wish I had that now!! Mary Z in IL
My pony tail Barbie was left behind when we moved back to Florida. I am so sad that we were not able to bring her with us. I did keep my daughter's Barbie dolls after she grew out of playing with them. But they are not the vintage ones that were so loved and cherished back in our day.ReplyDelete
I really like this post about Barbie. I had a ponytail one (in the black/white stripe bathing suit) and a platinum bubble cut one too and I loved playing with them. I agree with you that I loved pretending to be anything I wanted to be and I thought Barbie's wardrobe was so pretty. My grandma use to spoil me and bought me tons of outfits. I have such wonderful memories of Barbie and my Grandma. Thanks for letting me take a walk down memory lane.ReplyDelete
carol fun
I still have my 1962 blonde bubble cut Barbie (like astronaut Barbie) and her original stripe swimsuit and high heels. Plus my mother bought patterns and made a lot of cloths for her. I still have most of them. Lucky for Barbie that I wasn't much of a doll player.ReplyDelete
I never had a real Barbie. I had some knockoff doll although I had a Midge and a Ken doll. I never had store bought clothing because my Mom made us tons of clothes including gowns and wedding dresses.ReplyDelete
I still have my first Barbie, and a Skipper!ReplyDelete
My Mum made a whole wardrobe of clothes for my Barbies and I still have most of them. My DD used to play with them sometimes too.
I started sewing by making dresses for my Barbies. :)
My most memorable Christmas present was a Barbie wardrobe that my Mom sewed and knitted. Years ago I gave my dolls, clothes and suitcase to my niece, who is now 30. I don't really want them back, but sometimes wonder what happened to them. I'm afraid to ask! The dolls, to me, were just dolls...but the memories are precious. LouiseReplyDelete
Kathleen, I can't believe how much you sound like me about Barbie. I loved my Barbie. She had the brunette bubble cut hairdo. I played with her for hours everyday until I was 13years old. I had Ken, Skipper, Scooter and Ricky too. I still have my Barbie, but gave the rest of the dolls to my cousin. She still has them all along with her own.ReplyDelete
A couple of years ago,I went through the same thing you are going through now. Buying up a few outfits from the past, along with the suitcase, etc. There are some things in life that are hard to part with especially the items that brought us happy memories from our childhood.
I loved my Barbies too. My favorite thing to do was change her clothes. I loved all her cool outfits.ReplyDelete
Do you remember the Barbie that came with three wigs? Loved changing her hair.
Yes, I had that one too! My 4 sisters were all much older than me and had jobs so I was a little spoiled when I was younger. On Fridays (payday) once a month one of then would take me to the toy store to buy a new Barbie outfit which is how I was able to have so many. Of course, I remember some of them only cost $.79 or $1.00 at the time.ReplyDelete
No one in my family would have ever thought to sew any doll clothes for me--they were not crafty that way. I made clothes for my nieces' Barbies (MY Barbies, you could say) when I was in college and that's how I began to sew.
Thanks for the memories. I also had the Barbies and unfortunately my Mom also cleaned house when I was in my teens. I do, however, still have my Betsy McCall doll, that I found in the attic after my Mom pasted away. Connie204ReplyDelete
Great blog! Glad I found YOU! XOReplyDelete
My favorite dolls were both Barbie and Chatty Cathy!!! I think you might be my sister :DReplyDelete
What a great post; I love your blog.
Mary, if you're my sister, will you buy me some Barbie outfits?? LOLReplyDelete
Oh, how I loved your Barbie story. I too had Barbie and almost everything that was part of the Barbie lifestyle. My mother did not save anything from my childhood. She is a neat freak - she gave all of my Barbie dolls and accessories to the neighbor girl. I don't have anything from my Barbie collection. I have admired them at flea markets, antique shops, and on e-bay. I just can't take the "plunge". I have so much "stuff" that another collection might put me over edge to qualify as a certified "hoarder".ReplyDelete
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
What a fun post. I still have my ponytail Barbie and a large box of clothes. Most of my clothes were handmade, but I have a box of shoes and a few store bought outfits.ReplyDelete
I have my Chatty Cathy, but she doesn't talk very well. My brother tied a knot in her string on Christmas Day and she always had the hiccups after that!
I also have my Tiny Terry Lee doll. My sister had the full size Terry Lee.
What great memories!
My pony tail Barbie has green ears from wearing the same ear rings for 50 years! My hair has turned gray...my Barbie is still blond !ReplyDelete

A poignant story of how a teenager comes to terms with the fact that she is adopted.
What happens if one's childhood has been a big lie? Coming to terms with adoption and accepting it are huge tasks, especially for a 13-year-old.
Ela finds herself at a crossroads when she discovers that she is an adopted child. In a state of bewilderment, she dissociates herself from everyone, including her parents Mahesh and Smita. She is intimidated by an imaginary bird that talks to her about life. Luckily, Mahesh and Smita are understanding, as they adjust to the fact that Ela hates them for lying to her. How Ela confronts her worst fears and resurrects herself forms the rest of the story.
A different pitch
Sampurna Chattarji has handled a delicate topic like adoption beautifully. The concept of using Ela's alter ego to interrogate her life makes for an interesting read. Ela reiterates the fact being an adopted child is not always a blessing. Chattarji does not waste time in getting into the story. She is precise in describing the scenes and leaves room for readers' imagination. The book seems to drag slightly in the second part. Another intriguing factor is that Ela and Mahir, the protagonists, seem to share profound thoughts about life, although they are just over 13 years.
Ela succeeds in driving home the point that it is important for an adopted child to know his/her true roots. The later the child comes to know, the bigger the emotional drain. Ela is poignant read, especially for the teens.

Unfiltered takes on politics, ideas and culture from Nation editors and contributors.
The name search took a year, while the company became persona non grata in Iraq, but now it's a reality. The notorious Blackwater Worldwide has officially rebranded itself Xe. According to a company memo, "Xe will be a one-stop shopping source for world class services in the fields of security, stability, aviation, training and logistics."
It's pronounced "Zee," by the way, and it's also, oddly enough, the symbol for Xenon, a colorless, odorless noble gas found in trace amounts in the Earth's atmosphere. If only Blackwater and its ilk in the hire-a-gun private security business were found, under whatever names, in mere trace amounts in American foreign and military policy. But no such luck.
In the last eight years, many of the tasks formerly associated with the U.S. military have been privatized and outsourced in a wholesale way -- from guard duty for U.S. diplomats to peeling potatoes and delivering the mail, not to speak of building and maintaining the U.S. bases that now dot the Middle East and Afghanistan. Without its private crony corporations, the Pentagon might, in fact, be on something like life support.
Maybe, in the end, Blackwater, under pressure from the Iraqi government, can be separated from U.S. operations in Iraq, but -- it's a guarantee -- some similarly outfitted private contractor will simply fill in. This is one of the more entrenched legacies Barack Obama has inherited from the Bush years. It doesn't matter whether you're talking about those security firms or KBR, the former Halliburton subsidiary that does just about everything the U.S. military needs to survive but actually fight, separating them from the Pentagon would involve an almost inconceivable set of operations at this point.
No one has done more striking work on this question than the managing editor of the website Corpwatch, Pratap Chatterjee, who has traveled the world, visiting U.S. bases and spending time with KBR's employees, mainly Asian migrant workers who make up a hidden "U.S. Army" in Iraq and Afghanistan, just to see how the largest of these crony corporations actually functions. Now he's written a remarkable new book, Halliburton's Army: How A Well-Connected Texas Oil Company Revolutionized the Way America Makes War, on just how it all works, up close and personal.
If only his book were history. Unfortunately, it's evidently going to be our military future, as well as our past, as long as the American "mission" in the world isn't downsized. As Chatterjee sums the situation up in his latest piece, "The Military's Expanding Waistline":
"Obama needs to ask his Pentagon commanders this: Can the U.S. military he has now inherited do anything without KBR? And the answer will certainly be a resounding no."
As Kurt Vonnegut might once have written, so it goes.

My experience is more from the Carib... but my take on your situation (Heron) is:
Too much exposure at the dock and not enough riding room. For a small blow, yes, but a big one no.
I am not a fan of hauling: storm surge, too many boats, lots of windage, cost, etc.
I would go with the creek alternative as you can have long lines for better riding/stretch (you can rise way up and down) and a softer landing should Heron break loose (assuming creeks are lined with trees, bush, mud).
On the creek idea, my suggestions:
Plan now... go scout a spot in a dink with a sounding pole. Your 2' draft is a huge bonus. Look for large trees close to the water. Measure the amount of line needed now, not when it is blowing 40.
Get some form of a rat stopper for all lines... assuming you have rats in your cricks.
For lines and chafe, old fire hose works well for long runs through trees.
If you have a keel stepped mast, devise some way to back up cleats or the lines to the mast. Yes, it will cause damage to lifelines, etc. But if your cleats break out, you have much more to worry about.
get to know the people who use the creek you plan on using and try to work together. It can be stressful on the day of tie up and tempers can flare. Better if you already know the one who is going off. Now Dave, it is just a Cat 4, it will be ok... ;-)
Good luck with the process. We are looking at TD 2... lots of unknown at this point, but best to be ready.

If you thought that all your questions about how a Sith Lord would raise a child were answered by Jeffrey Brown's Darth Vader and Son, think again. As every Galactic Empire parent knows, raising a daughter is a completely unique experience. Even the masked warrior formerly known as Anakin Skywalker is hard-pressed to counter and control his rebellious teenager's outlandish spontaneous plans. This hilarious illustrated book might gain this intergalactic villain more sympathy than any promised Star Wars sequel.

Don't forget to get out and vote!!!!
It's Election Day!!! (Poll)
Grace Eleanor(17). Brady Winston(16). Mary Elizabeth(14) Peter Robert(11) ....pause....Bryn Imogene(06/05/13)... And baby GIRL in late July!
You still have to start somewhere, GENIUS If you weren't born with a fucking, silver spoon in your mouth! Take it from my cousin who just earned her MASTER'S and used to work at Wendy's AND Popeye's Chicken while she was pregnant and in college!!!
And yes, my previous screen name was *bigsisterkay.* I'm not an imposter posing as her...same person, same face, same kids! ;-)
Who votes for Obama just to prove he/she isn't racist? Seriously. I will vote for Obama again in 2012 because he is the best man for the job.
All I said is that I'm surprised by the racist commentary I have seen in this campaign. Really sets us back as a nation. Won't vote for him because of his middle name? Someone said that earlier. Total ignorance.
I would have worked at any parttime job, gone to school fulltime to further my career but wait, I'm type 1 diabetic and could NOT get healthcare because of my preexisitng condition... No one would cover me. Even though I'm otherwise healthy and am trying to prevent long term damage to my organs from just scraping by and taking care of my disease. Ridiculous to deny me health insurance. So grateful that pre existing conditions can no longer be used to deny coverage to diabetics.
HUGE Obama fan but sooooo happy to see people get out and vote, either way! What a great way to set an example for our kids by letting them know that we have a say, and we are using it!

It is a fact that those who are born in to poverty are more likely to stay in poverty because poverty = not as much opportunity as those born into a wealthy family.
If it was between flipping a burger or your child having an empty belly then surely you would pick flipping a burger? some people don't have the luxury of choice.
If you have the choice then of course, don't flip burgers but just remember the next time you have a burger that it wouldn't be possible without those poor people who should just ''be proactive and set high standards''.
It isn't about hating rich people, it is about showing compassion to poor people, many who just didn't have the same chance that people born in to more advantaged homes have and it certianly isn't because they are lazy and want handouts and like I said, who would flip the burgers?

Let's try to keep things in perspective. Whatever happens tonight we all have to live with it and learn how to unite as a country.

Couples often make the decision to have a wedding abroad but then cannot decide where, with so many destinations available. The Exquisite Weddings website showcases everything on offer and helps to give bride and grooms some inspiration to plan dream Turkey weddings, with many alluring pictures of venues and of other happy couples' big day.
The website has detailed descriptions of all the venues available and lots of important information, such as the legalities of getting married in Turkey. Locations include venues such as sun kissed beaches and bays, luxurious hotels, traditional Turkish tavernas and wooden gullets- so you can quite literally sail off into the sunset for a truly romantic wedding.
There are four different packages available: bronze, silver, gold and diamond. These all include a combination of important wedding features, such as location, administration, flowers, music, cake, accommodation and much, much more. It just depends on which package is chosen, but all four are customisable so perfectly, unique weddings can be created, where, when and how couples want it to be.
Exquisite Weddings also offer ℠tailor-made weddings´ for couples that have specific requirements or want something more unique. Whichever option is chosen the personal wedding planners will make sure that the day goes off without a hitch and couples have a dream wedding in Turkey.
An Exquisite Weddings coordinator says:
"We ensure that your big day is as beautiful, special and truly unique as you are. You don´t need to think that just because you are getting married abroad you have to scale down your wedding ideas. Why not include Turkish folk dancers? Or arrive in a fairy-tale horse drawn carriage? If you want to make a statement, then do- it´s you special day!"
We have tried to make the website as comprehensive as possible but if you have any questions or if there´s something that you want to know but can´t find on the website then just call or email a member of our team, we are always happy to help whether it´s big or small."

After fifteen long years, the city of Winnipeg finally has an NHL team again as the Atlanta Thrashers, who failed to find any local buyers for the team, moved north and, with that, the city of Atlanta is now tagged with the dubious distinction of losing not one but two NHL franchises.
Nonetheless, Atlanta's loss is Winnipeg's gain and the Manitoba capital is buzzing as well Canada as a whole as they now have their long-awaited seventh team back. It will an exciting few days, weeks and even months for Winnipeg as they hope to begin their second chance off on the right foot.
Despite what many believe, True North, who bought the Thrashers and moved them to Winnipeg, might go against the grain and decided to name to team a different name other than the Jets, which was the name of the original Winnipeg franchise. No one knows the story on the name just yet but a decision should be made in the coming days.
So, what does this mean for the Los Angeles Kings? For the coming season, it really doesn't mean much. The National Hockey League has decided not to realign any of their divisions for 2011-12, which means that Winnipeg will play in the geographically-incorrect Southeast Division so, really, that decision would only affect Winnipeg themselves and their divisional opponents: Washington, Carolina, Tampa Bay and Florida.
The Kings would only have to pay one visit to Winnipeg and that's assuming they even have a game scheduled in Winnipeg. It may turn out that the Kings will host the newly-relocated team and if that's the case, then they most likely will not have to worry about making that dreadful winter trek to central Canada.
With the return of the NHL in Winnipeg certainly brings back a lot of memories. While the Kings and Jets were never considered fierce rivals, I certainly remember the times when Wayne Gretzky and company would visit the old Winnipeg Arena to take on the Jets, who never really enjoyed a lot of success during their 17 years of existence. The two franchises have created a rivalry after the Jets' departure in 1996 when the team moved to Phoenix, but both franchises can thank the issue of geography for that.
I really don't know how Kings broadcasters Bob Miller and Jim Fox feel about Winnipeg being back in the fold again but, again, because they'll remain in the Eastern Conference for the 2011-12 season, nothing significant is going to change. As for 2012-13, well, let's worry about one thing at a time.
Congratulations to the city of Winnipeg for having another team but my condolences go out to the fans of the Atlanta Thrashers for losing their team. The Thrashers certainly weren't the big ticket that the Falcons, Braves and even Hawks are but their hockey team certainly had their loyal fan base, albeit not a large one, and for those fans, I am terribly sorry.
So now the Los Angeles can add Winnipeg to their list of destinations whether it will this coming season or the season after. I certainly am anxious to see how the new Winnipeg team fares in the NHL and, most importantly, I'm eager to see how the Los Angeles Kings will fare when they travel to Winnipeg, whenever that may be.

Security must target people not objects
By Michael Holden
LONDON (Reuters) – Security officials should concentrate on
people, not objects, at airports but simplistic racial
profiling is not the way to thwart potential attacks on
airlines, experts say.
They warn, however, that more effective behavioral
profiling would be very labor-intensive, expensive and would
not guarantee success.
"It's the only methodology that can stay ahead of terrorism
and terrorists," said Philip Baum, editor of British magazine
Aviation Security International. "Screeners are spending far
too long trying to confiscate scissors and shampoos and gels
from people who pose absolutely no threat."
A debate over the merits of profiling — where security
staff focus their search efforts on people they regard as
suspicious on grounds such as ethnicity and religion — has
erupted since British police said on August 10 they had foiled
a plan to blow up transatlantic planes using liquid explosives.
Immediately, airports across Europe and the United States
tightened security: passengers were banned from taking liquids
or hand luggage on board and travelers were rigorously checked.
Some of those measures were later relaxed.
Baum said such actions, which caused airport chaos, flight
delays and cancellations, were unnecessary and ineffective.
"The existing technologies have been proven to have limited
effectiveness," he told Reuters. "They haven't as yet
identified anybody who has been carrying an improvised
explosive device on their person or in their baggage, whereas
profiling has been proven to be effective."
The profiling debate has been fueled by the fact that the
suspects detained and charged in the airlines bomb plot were
all British Muslims, mainly of Pakistani descent.
Some of Britain's 1.7 million Muslims have warned profiling
will widen the gulf between authorities and their communities.
Many Muslims accuse police of unfairly targeting their
community in a crackdown on terrorism after last year's suicide
bomb attacks on London's transport system by young British
Islamist militants.
Some experts, including the former head of London's police
force, say authorities should concentrate on profiling
potential suspects, with a particular eye on young Muslim men.
"I'm a white, 62-year-old, 6-foot 4-inch suit-wearing
ex-cop. — Do I really fit the profile of a suicide bomber?"
said former Metropolitan Police Commissioner John Stevens.
"Does the young mum with three tots? The gay couple, the
rugby team, the middle-aged businessman?"
A poll published in August after the airlines plot was
foiled found 55 percent of Britons backed passenger profiling
with just 29 percent opposed to the system.
Baum said he advocated a system of "positive profiling"
based on behavior, not ethnicity. "That is not racial
profiling. I totally disagree with racial profiling," he said.
"You're not exempting anybody from screening by technology
but you are determining which technology to apply depending on
the perceived risk a passenger poses.
"We are not saying all young Asian males are going to be
set aside for some separate screening by definition."
However, that is exactly what many Muslims fear.
One of the country's most senior Muslim police officers,
London Chief Superintendent Ali Dizaei, warned profiling could
create a new offense of "traveling whilst Asian."
Profiling would also be costly because it would require
trained surveillance officers who could spot warning signs in
passengers' behavior and also require efficient
cross-referencing of information about people's itineraries.
Another problem lies in the fact that profiling is a
science in its infancy and a rather "blunt instrument," said
Alex Standish, editor of Strategic Intelligence Review.
Profiling might not have caught British-born "shoe bomber"
Richard Reid, who tried to blow up an airliner in 2001 using
explosives hidden in his shoes.
"Reid wouldn't necessarily have flagged anything up on
anyone's radar," he said. "Terrorist masterminds" might also
look for people who did not fit the expected profile, he added.
Standish said not enough research had been done to compare
the behavior of people carrying out criminal acts and those who
were about to commit a suicide attack.
"I think even the Israeli intelligence services would agree
they cannot possibly stop every determined would-be suicide
bomber," he said.
"You simply have to develop the kind of intelligence
network to keep individuals under suspicion and their
associates under constant surveillance but it's enormously
expensive, labor-intensive and you can't afford to take your
eye off the ball."
One way of improving the profiling procedure would be to
make checks closer to the departure gate.
"You will have different expectations of behavior on every
single flight," Baum said. "The closer somebody gets to
boarding the flight the more chance you are going to get of
detecting behavioral signs as well.

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter." - e.e. cummings
One of my dream jobs is to be a travel writer. Although what I'm doing now is pretty great too, so I'm ok with it. But after I've made my millions as a nonprofit lawyer, I want to move to an island where it's always 75 degrees and sunny and open a bed and breakfast with my husband. Soo I love traveling (if that wasn't obvious). San Francisco is my favorite city in the US; Barcelona is my favorite city in Europe; Buenos Aires is my favorite city in South America (I know, none of those are incredibly original, but I love them anyway). My favorite city in Central America is El Paraiso, Honduras--how's that for original? More about me...I tend to say exactly what I'm thinking, which occasionally gets me into trouble when I'm not as tactful as I should be. I think this is partly due to my low tolerance for bullshitters. (Yes, I do realize the irony of me being a lawyer and knowing lots of lawyers but disliking bullshitters.) I love playing basketball, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, and the piano. I think I'm pretty funny, and I'm great at snarky one-liners, but I'm terrible at telling stories (seriously, my friends make fun of me, but I try anyway). I'm super independent and don't like when I have to ask someone for help or when someone over-explains things to me. I am equally happy watching a Broadway musical or a college basketball game. I tend to be 5-10 minutes late to many things...I think I'm still revolting against my dad, who thinks he needs to be 30 minutes early to be "on time." I think volunteering and community service are super important, which is why my career is in public service. Every time I travel abroad, I realize even more how lucky I am to be living in the US with all the opportunities I have. I'm definitely not one of those people who says everything happens for a reason, because some things are just awful for no good reason, like, say, genocide in Rwanda... I just moved to Omaha from DC, and I already miss DC something fierce, but I'm looking forward to meeting people and having a good time in Omaha!

I like this storage unit because it does not have multiple shelves... and we can store some taller items in it. It's a great height for kids to pull themselves up on and yet solid enough it's not going to move. We did have to assemble the unit.

A Nigerian nurse who treated a man with Ebola is now dead and five other people are sick with one of the world's most virulent diseases after coming into contact with him, the country's health minister said Wednesday.
The growing number of cases in Lagos, a megacity of some 21 million people, comes as authorities acknowledge they did not treat Patrick Sawyer as an Ebola patient and isolate him for the first 24 hours after his arrival in Nigeria last month. Sawyer, a 40-year-old American of Liberian descent with a wife and three young daughters in Minnesota, was traveling on a business flight to Nigeria when he fell ill.
