Today's guests:
Chief Technology Officer, Services and Solutions Group
QinetiQ North America
Today's weather event wasn't anywhere near the level of a natural disaster. But it can serve as a nice reminder of what kind of bad situations federal managers should be planning for. Keith Rhodes was the Government Accountability Office's first chief technologist and he's now the chief technology officer at QinetiQ North America's Services and Solutions Group. He joins In Depth to discuss how agency managers can prepare their organizations for disaster.

Executive Director
Project on Government Oversight
President Obama is hearing from two powerful members of Congress about the lack of inspectors general at agencies across government. The Project on Government Oversight has been following the IG gap for a long time. Danielle Brian, executive director of the Project On Government Oversight, joins In Depth to discuss how systemic a problem the lack of IGs is.

Bristol 22 Caravel - opinions?
Any comments on this boat? I am downsizing from a 1976 B-32, lovely full keel but way too expensive to maintain. This 22 looks in need of a lot of cosmetic repair. Have had a 22 Seaward, so am used to no head room and porta-pottie, etc. I like a heavy boat, Bristol is solid, in my opinion.
She has a fixed keel, 3'' 6" draft. Teak needs redoing but I redid the 32 so nothing new there. What about the tiller and mainsheet arrangement? I always sat at the stern on previous transom-hung (or wheel)steering, not sideways at this tiller requires.
ANY opinions are very welcome! Thanks.

AUSTIN, TX -(BUSINESS WIRE)-April 26th, 2000 via NewsEdge Corporation,
General Bandwidth, Inc., a telecommunications manufacturer, is ready to
deliver the first Voice-over-Broadband gateway designed for the customer
premise market. General Bandwidth announced a strategic business alliance
with Efficient Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:EFNT) to begin testing compatibility
between Efficient's SpeedStream DSL product line and General Bandwidth's
G6 broadband voice gateway.
The core of the business alliance formed between General Bandwidth, Inc.
and Efficient Networks is their agreement to develop and endorse standardization
of Voice-Over-Broadband. This standardization will bring together all
forms of broadband communications onto a common voice platform. The development
of standards and interoperability testing between these companies will
reduce the risk of having a proprietary based product offering for broadband
voice technology.
standards are approved, this marketplace will be able to have an open
architecture and compete with the traditional telecommunications vendors.
Ratification of these standards will not happen until 2001, but vendors
will start adopting these standards in the fourth quarter of 2000 (60%
alliance will benefit the SOHO (Small/Home Office) business market because
SOHO's will now be able to have a variety of services available over a
single DSL circuit. This will allow SOHO's to reduce their monthly operating
cost and allow them to be competitive with the larger companies in any
market space.
addition of standards to this developing technology will place Broadband
well ahead of the ISDN marketplace, which is both more expensive and completely
absent of a true standard.
When interoperability testing is completed later this year, this alliance
will open an entirely new avenue for the SOHO (Small/Home Office) market.
Both users and vendors will be able to leverage the DSL Market as a total
telecommunication solution for the SOHO marketplace. SOHO users that fit
into this area will now be able to have a completely integrated suite
of telecommunication tools with one DSL circuit that used to require several
phone circuits.

"Some people will say, 'You guys are not Japanese,' and 'How can a Latino do a butoh festival?' " says Garnica, who emigrated from Colombia in 1998 and will appear in a performance. "I'm an exiled person. I haven't been in my country for five years. I don't need to be Japanese. I don't need to be Latino, either."
According to Janisheski, they used the word butoh because it's something audiences know, even if it leads to disagreements about definition, tradition, and authenticity. "It is an amorphous term, and has been since the beginning," he says. "It was about anti-technique, anti-Western tradition."

Butoh was founded in the 1950s by Tatsumi Hijikata, who drew inspiration from the movements of farmers in his village and memories of being carried in a basket as a young child, with his legs bound so he couldn't crawl out. In the aftermath of World War II, Hijikata and fellow artists Kazuo Ohno, Akira Kasai, Akaji Maro, and Min Tanaka danced in the streets and in the ruins of destroyed buildings, unadvertised and without an audience, wearing makeup and sometimes little or no clothing, and facing arrest for their performances.
Dancers find in the butoh tradition an extreme use of the body, remarkable muscle control, and the opportunity to plumb personal memories and portray physical anguish. The word butoh has been translated in different ways, such as "dance of darkness" or "dance of the other," but was first used by Hijikata, who called his dance "onkoku butoh," borrowing the term butoh from a word that referred to Western social dancing, a sort of "other" against Japanese traditions of highly formalized dance.
"What Hijikata did was to try to find the condition of the body you cannot control," says Yoko Shioya, acting director for performing arts at the Japan Society. She likens butoh movement to the way muscles tense up when you walk against the wind. Butoh focuses on the inconveniences, uncontrollability, and unwillingness of the body, she says. "You see a lot of ugly form, from the point of view of the generally 'beautiful' body. It is sometimes awkward or twisted. You have to look deep inside yourself. Butoh people tended to say that they were the only people to look inside deeply, but that is too arrogant, I think."
Westerners, she adds, often make the mistake of thinking that butoh was a direct expression of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. While those atrocities were a part of the inspiration, equally important were the difficult lives many Japanese lived under Emperor Hirohito.
In recent years, actors and dancers around the world have adopted butoh's expression of strife and crisis.
"Good butoh is about primal honesty and coming in touch with some crisis in your country or in your life," says Janisheski, a candidate for a master's degree in theater directing at Columbia, who has studied, performed, and taught butoh since 1989, including work with Ohno. "My crisis came when my father died. That was my moment of butoh. And certainly New York these days has experienced a lot of crisis."
The festival features dancers from Japan, Sweden, and the U.S. Seattle-based Joan Laage offers magical and darkly humorous work that plays with our hopes, expectations, and fears. Yukio Waguri, one of Japan's butoh masters, says his mission is to present "what is specifically Japanese and what is internationally common in butoh." SU-EN, from Sweden, performs her multimedia work, Slice: Visceral Dissection, a stark, uncompromising piece that portrays the body's own beauty, brutality, and absurdity. Opening for her will be Chisato Katata, from the Tokyo-based group Shinonome.
Dancer Zack Fuller rejects the butoh label. He sang in a speed-metal band in D.C. in the '90s, then spent some time acting before finding dance, working since 1997 with Tanaka (who also doesn't call his work butoh), and finding his own form, which he has referred to as "post-mortem dance."
"I wanted to be an actor, but all the actors I knew didn't want to be doing theater, they wanted to promote themselves so they could do movies and TV," he says. "But the dance scene was very supportive, like the hardcore scene. I didn't want to wait until I could master a form to do something. I trained my body a lot, but I spent a lot of time in a studio training myself."
Fuller, with percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani and accordionist Jonathan Vincent, will show "a grotesque, comic-scary work that deals with the stripping away of character, and the construction-destruction of personality," according to his program notes. As with much of Fuller's work, it will likely involve slow, unnerving movement, eliciting the combination of sympathy and disgust that one might feel toward a person who lives on the street. It won't look strictly Japanese, but will draw from American sources, a common approach scoffed at by purists.

Prout Catamarans Went Bankrupt

Prout Catamarans Went Bankrupt
Without having a look at the books and a couple of pointed interviews, I can speculate a lot... But I think Mr. Underwood, the former managing director summed it up best with his quote to Yachting Monthly:"I can''t make any comment or I''ll be shot."
Here are a couple of possibilities:
1) The Innovator doesn''t always prevail:
Prout is the innovator but someone else hatched the egg. While Prout has built over 4,200 boats, they did not manage to keep the leadership position as soon as the market for multihulls really took off. In Sailing Today, another possibility mentioned was the recent recession and the strength of the pound. Hmmm.
2) Quality:
If our experience is any indication for the average Prout ownership experience, the huge and lucrative charter market would have turned its back on Prout a long time ago. People like standardized, KISS auxiliary systems that are available/repairable all over the globe. Systems ought to be bullet-proof, reliable.
For example, Prout installed non-stainless stay pin substitutes into our mast head in a rush to get the boat presentable for the Miami boat show. These pins are rusting... an inquiry to Prout was a no-show. Gail Monk accused Z-Spar of delivering the defective pins (impossible IMHO) and told me it''s my problem, not theirs.
Ditto for their installation of a cockpit drain that drained into a sealed engine compartment. The drain was not attached to anything! The hydraulic pumps, the starter, and the alternator were for us to fix (after all, such a brain-dead mistake only cost us $5,000 or so, plus labor). We then discovered the source of the leak and installed a new drain so that cockpit water drains overboard, not onto the back of our engine.
How about the poor family in Florida that discovered the hard way that Prout had installed a copper gas line in the bilge of their boat? Besides obliterating the boat, several occupants got burned severely (one child over most of its body). Prout tried to blame the owner (as if *he* installed a corrible copper pipe line in an area that reasonable people would expect to get wet). The courts ruled against Prout... but then the plaintiffs discoverd that Prout carried only 2M liability insurance...not nearly enough to carry the 10.5M health insurance costs.
3) Customer Service:
The above examples are perhaps reason enough for Moody to stop Prout building private label Moody catamarans. Moody cited the current management/owners Quest as the principal reason for not renewing the contract. Since the new Prout UK is a still a subsidiary of Quest, this problem is unlikely to go away.
The design while very functional for owners, is less ideal for charters. Prout doesn''t cram quite as many people into the boat but has functional areas (for example, the navigation areas for some cats I saw at the Düsseldorf boat show were laughable). Charter fleets don''t care so much about large chart tables, etc. as their boats keep cruising the same happy cruising grounds over and over. Besides, who asked the cook on these boats for opinions?
5)Cash Crunch:
They got on the financial escalator and started spiralling down. If in fact they were not able to finish boats on plan, then the money to pay the labor to finish them had to come from somewhere:
Yes, suppliers! Some of these poor folks were allegedly not paid for years - I have no way of verifying this claim. But I can imagine how the operation of the company would become increasingly erratic as cash shortfalls cause management to react in ways non-consistent with normal business operations.
But where do we go from here? As reported in the Dec 2001 issue of Sailing Today, the "new" Prout will only build the 38'', 43'' and 46'' sailboats. The powercats and the new 70'' cats will be built by Quest subsidiary Concordia in Thailand. Looks like a shift to the luxury market. So much for a recession!
Consider however, that the more expensive the boat, the more "features" it will have. These "features" increase manufacturing complexity by an exponential factor. Now ask yourself: So far, do you get the impression that quality is a core competence of Prout?
Thus, does this shift make sense?
Time will tell.

As I step into the thunderdome
With flows as the wind blows
Visualize the intros
Releasing hypnotical gases, chemicals mixed, fixed
Taking it to the sixth round of poetical warfare
from Organized Konfusion – Releasing Hypnotical Gases Lyrics on Genius
A thunderdome is a place of violence and confusion / a situation where the loser is met with harsh consequences. Po uses this in a more literal sense as the arena of a sort-of all out fighting competition.
"Visualize the intros" would also suggest that this is like a wrestling/boxing match, as the fighters often have big entrances and theme tunes when they walk in. Such matches also have "rounds."

With more than 1,000 branches and 15,000 employees, Alpha Bank is one of the largest banks in Greece with a presence in Cyprus, Southeastern Europe, and the United Kingdom. The bank prides itself on customer service, listening to the needs of customers to bring new banking services to market.
Nearly 47 percent of all the bank's transactions take place through alternative channels including the Internet, via PCs and mobile devices, and phones, which the bank's call center manages. Behind the bank's operations is a complex IT infrastructure, comprising more than 17,500 desktops and 2,000 servers. To support the bank's IT infrastructure, Alpha Bank employs more than 300 IT staff members, of which 30 focus primarily on the bank's alternative channels.
Alpha Bank considers technology and innovation a top priority, which enables the bank to drive new business. Behind this mission, the alternative channel team charges itself with bringing new products and services to market quickly, to meet the demands of business and customers. When looking toward the future and for new services to bring to customers, the bank took a close look at its existing IT infrastructure and decided to move toward a new, innovative framework that uses state-of-the-art technology to meet increasing volumes and rapidly changing business needs.
"We had reached the limits of our infrastructure," says Theodore Konstantatos, Assistant Manager of the Alpha Bank IT Division. "When business leaders asked 'Can you do this?', we were responding 'There is no easy way to do this.'"
The Alpha Bank IT team concluded that modernizing its application platform would provide new opportunities for improving its responsiveness to business by freeing up time for IT staff to innovate and perform other value-added tasks. The team aspired that a new infrastructure could help them address a range of needs, including:
To support long-term growth and meet the needs of the bank and customers alike, Alpha Bank decided to build a new, more flexible infrastructure and engaged Microsoft Services for its expertise in application platform optimization by using Microsoft products and technologies.
"As programmers, we have to work within very tight schedules, so we are not always free to explore new best practices and solutions," says Konstantatos. "This is where Microsoft Services helped us the most—giving us a helping hand and the assurance that we could implement the new best practices and solutions that we needed."
Building a Flexible SOA-Based Platform for Banking
Through a Microsoft Services SOA Infrastructure engagement, Alpha Bank worked in close collaboration with senior architects and consultants from Microsoft Services to develop a service-oriented architecture (SOA). The SOA consists of custom-developed middleware based on the Microsoft .NET Framework that exposes all system functionality as SOAP Web services. This middleware, which Alpha Bank calls the Alternative Channel Control System (ACCS), provides the business logic for handling transactions all the way from a customer to his or her local bank. For instance, when a customer accesses his or her account information through Web banking, ACCS checks which bank (of Alpha Group's banks) the customer belongs to, forwards the request to the final banking system, and sends back the reply to the user interface.
"Our SOA platform enables us to provide customers with Web-banking access to their accounts hosted on different Alpha Bank systems in Greece and abroad—all through one unique interface and by using one unique user name and password," says Joseph Ziogas, Solution Architect for the Alpha Bank IT Division.
Closing the Gap Between Customer And CSA
The Alpha Bank IT team also engaged Microsoft Services to rearchitect the Alpha Bank call center by using the Microsoft Customer Care Framework. Working with Microsoft Services, the Alpha Bank IT team used the Customer Care Framework to develop a new customer service agent (CSA) desktop application that pulls in the relevant information provided to customers through Web banking. This desktop application also integrates with the bank's Genesys CTI and ACD call-routing system and adds functionality and information specific to the role of a CSA. With this application, CSAs now have all the functionality that they need to provide effective and quick customer service through only one user interface. Initial estimates show a 10 percent decrease in average call-handling time.
Lili Kazantzi, Phone Banking Section Supervisor for the Alternative Channel Division of Alpha Bank, says, "With the Customer Care Framework, our Genesys CTI integration is now decoupled from the desktop, enabling us to make changes to the system that are independent of the customer and CSA desktop experiences."
Extracting Business Intelligence from A New Centralized Infrastructure
All customer data captured through ACCS and the Customer Care Framework–based solution is now stored and managed in a centralized Microsoft SQL Server database. Working with Microsoft Services, the Alpha Bank IT team took full advantage of SQL Server to build a business intelligence solution based on Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services for analyzing logs, transactions, and customer subscription data. This solution has empowered decision makers across the bank not only to generate their own reports from a more comprehensive set of data on a day-to-day basis but also to reduce the time to produce them by 50 percent—all without needing to turn to IT or consolidate multiple spreadsheets.
Ensuring Long-Term Success with Application Life-Cycle Management
To ensure they could deliver the most value to the business through their newly established application platform, the Alpha Bank IT team also engaged Microsoft Services to help them streamline their application life-cycle management process. Through Microsoft Services Application Lifecycle Management, Alpha Bank engaged in educational workshops and deployed Microsoft Visual Studio® Team System and Microsoft Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server. By using the solutions according to Microsoft best practices, Alpha Bank IT more effectively manages its application development life cycle through source control, the automation of build processes, requirements and task management, bug tracking, and Web test and stress functionality. "Now, we have a very high level of quality in our development process," says Themos Vihos, Assistant Manager of the Alpha Bank Alternative Channels Division. "User acceptance testers can now have the same unique environment as developers, and developers and testers have access to the same bug-tracking and resolution-tracking system, which is very convenient and reliable."
For ongoing support, Alpha Bank took advantage of its existing Microsoft Services Premier Support contract. This provides the bank with a range of proactive services to improve and optimize overall systems performance and service management to ensure that needs are expedited through the most efficient channels at Microsoft. It also provides problem-resolution services to ensure any issues are solved quickly.
By building on the talent of its IT team with the expertise of Microsoft Services, Alpha Bank has established a more open and extensible infrastructure, enabling the bank to further pursue the development of new services for its customers, while fostering easier systems maintenance.
Reduce the Risk of New IT Initiatives
By taking advantage of the expertise of Microsoft Services, the Alpha Bank IT team approaches even the most challenging of IT projects in confidence. Says Konstantatos, "Even though we made huge changes across many areas, applications, and infrastructures, we were able to reduce the risks by working with Microsoft Services."
Through its successful experience developing the initial platform for alternative banking channels, the Alpha Bank IT team now welcomes future IT initiatives. Says Konstantatos, "Now, whenever business asks us to build something new, the IT staff answers 'Yes, it can be done.'"
Streamline Application Development
Now, the Alpha Bank IT team spends less time in a role of reactive support and more time developing applications that let the bank support internal processes and serve bank customers. "We are now on time with all of our IT projects," says Mr. Vihos. "We just completed a project where we added a new account type for our Web-banking customers, and we didn't experience any issues while developing it. And, we are in the process of joining our stock-trading and Web-banking applications under a unified user interface with common sign in credentials, which we are confident will be a relatively easy job."
Deliver More Value
The Alpha Bank IT team doesn't just provide new services and products; they provide a robust infrastructure that enables business success. For example, with the business intelligence solution from Microsoft Services, the Alpha Bank IT team has gained complete visibility into the bank's customers and eliminated the need to consolidate multiple reports.
Says Kazantzi, "On a day-to-day basis, we can now measure all the transactions through all the channels. We can measure a bank customer's performance and habits, and eventually, we'll be able to measure their demographic characteristics, too."
At the same time, the call center application based on the Customer Care Framework has helped improve productivity in that department, directly enhancing the bank's bottom line. Says Vihos, "Now, CSAs only have to learn one application, so the time to train them has decreased significantly. And, the time they need to spend with customers on the phone has decreased because now all the tools that they need are in one application."
Establish a Platform for Long-Term Growth
The Alpha Bank IT team now looks forward to future growth. With solid middleware in place, the IT team now just needs to develop new services to integrate additional branches with the core Web-banking system. At the same time, the systems provide exceptional performance. Says Konstantatos, "We have gained the ability to more than double our current Web customers without facing performance issues. And, business leaders feel that we have established a foundation that will successfully support our future business needs for many years."
Konstantatos also notes that the insight from Microsoft Services has helped the bank align future IT initiatives to the strategic road map of Microsoft products and technologies. The team currently aspires to create applications that take advantage of Windows® Communication Foundation and Windows Workflow Foundation. Says Konstantatos, "This insight will enable us to respond quickly to the need for delivering high-quality software that will match future business needs."
Alpha Bank is one of the largest banks in Greece with more than 1,000 branches, more than 15,000 employees, and a presence in Cyprus, Southeastern Europe, and the United Kingdom.
The database and application platform that supported the alternative banking channels of Alpha Bank grew obsolete, making it difficult for IT staff to bring new services and products to market.
Working with Microsoft Services, the Alpha Bank IT team built a new service-oriented architecture, developed a new customer service agent desktop application, implemented a business intelligence solution, and instilled application life-cycle management best practices.

I'm new here, (well actually it's been several years since I've stopped by here). I'm an almost 55 yr old woman who may "possibly" have MS (as per my pcp's thoughts). On my last brain MRI the radiologist who read it stated twice that "MS must be considered".
My pcp first suspected MS 12 years ago & here I am still in limbo land. In 2000 I was dx'd with Fibromyalgia. Over the years I've had various symptoms but have recently had some new or rather different ones. I've been experiencing muscle spasms/ cramps in my right arm, mainly between my elbow & shoulder. It's weird cuz it's kinda like when you're pregnant & you get leg cramps in the middle of the night & the only way to get them to calm down was to stand &/or walk them out. It's like my arm cramps & wants to straighten out & if I don't massage & move it around it only gets worse. I HAVE to massage & move it cuz I can't stand not to. It's been happening for about 3 weeks & is getting more frequent. I've also been having muscle spasms/ cramps in my feet, legs & hands but they started about 2 months ago.
I've been taking daily potassium & magnesium due to Gastric Bypass surgery 5 years ago as part of my vitamin regimen. At first I thought maybe they weren't absorbing into my system but since my arm started doing it's thing I'm not so sure about it. I would really appreciate any & all ideas, suggestions, & am more than happy to answer any questions you may want to ask in order to help me. Thank you in advance!! DianeView Thread

One moment is all that it takes
The U-T Wine Panel
These five local experts will take turns writing about wine for the Food section. A column by one of them will appear every other week.
Ellen Burke Van Slyke, corporate creative director of food and beverage for Loews hotels.
Lisa Redwine, restaurant manager and wine director of The Shores Restaurant in La Jolla.
Duncan Williams, head winemaker for Fallbrook Winery.
Ted Glennon, wine director at the Hotel del Coronado and general manager of ENO Wine Room and 1500 Ocean at the hotel.
Gary Parker, founder and owner of the WineSellar & Brasserie, a wine store and restaurant in Sorrento Mesa.
Many people who are really into wine have related stories to me about their "wine moment." This is when a person discovers for the first time the treasure that this glorious beverage can bring. It's after this revelation that wine will forever be more than just a casual drink. After such a "moment" — hopefully you have been blessed with one — wine becomes a part of your diet, a hobby, a passion, an endeavor, a lifestyle, a social bond.
The "wine moment" occasion is etched into your being, much like a significant world event. It seems everyone can recall exactly where they were and what they were doing at their "moment." And each can remember the name of the wine that opened their eyes, and usually the vintage date as well.
In listening to these stories, I often hear tasting descriptors, such as "it was like a handful of fresh blueberries," "it was like a ripe peach," and one I hear most often is "it reminded me of the smells of my childhood." Whatever the tasting sensation experienced, the impression is indelible.
Interestingly, the types of wines providing these moments are all over the board. For many, taking a leap didn't require a great wine, just something that rang a bell. There were Cabernet Sauvignons, Zinfandels, Chardonnays, old Bordeaux, young Bordeaux, red and white Burgundy, Italian ... and on it goes.
My wine moment happened in 1975. I was studying and working in the field of architecture, and to supplement my income I got a job at the first French restaurant in North San Diego County, called Mon Ami. I was 24 years old, and didn't know anything about wine, except that my brother and I had gotten very sick on some cheap, sweet, fortified grape juice while still in our teens. I wanted nothing to do with it ever again.
It was midsummer, and the Mon Ami was having an opening party, a kind of rehearsal dinner for friends and a small gathering of the local culinary crowd. Since it was my first job in the restaurant industry, I was obviously going to be washing dishes that night.
It was a hot evening, and the kitchen staff was full of kinks, bad timing, overcooked foods, dropped plates — you name it. Dinner lasted until 11 p.m., and by that time, I had washed every wineglass in the house twice, and pots and pans three or four times each. I was tired, my legs were worn from standing nine straight hours, and I was building up a mighty thirst.

A few summers ago while browsing at Bead Fest Philadelphia, I came across an artist who made gorgeous lampwork glass acorn pendants with copper electroformed caps. I bought one of her pendants, and it quickly became one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. At the time, I knew very little about the process of electroforming, but it was fascinating to me. With my background in science and laboratory work, I was eager to learn more about this amazing jewelry making process.
Denise Peck, editor of Step by Step Wire Jewelry and our resident metal jewelry making maven answered four of my questions about electroforming!
Q: Electroforming
always seemed a bit like mystical alchemy to me - turning mercury into gold and
things like that. Can you give me a simple explanation of what the process of
electroforming actually is?
A: Ha!
It is sort of like magic! Electroforming is the process of plating an item with copper in an electrolytic solution. It requires
a small rectifier, which converts AC house current to very low direct current,
the solution, and an anode, or piece of copper. The very small electrical
charge breaks down the copper anode and deposits it onto your suspended piece,
covering it with a layer of copper. It's not the same as electroplating where you must plate over a piece of metal. In electroforming, you deposit the copper onto most anything. And
you can build up the metal quite thick, so that you could actually remove the
original form and maintain the shape in metal.
Q: Besides
natural objects like twigs and acorns, what else can you use?
A: You
can electroform over glass, metal, organic items - as I mentioned, almost
anything. However, if the piece is not metal, it must first be coated with a
special conductive paint so that it will work in the charged electrolytic solution.
Q: Are
there any safety precautions one needs to take when electroforming?
A: The
copper electroforming solution is not as harsh or caustic as other plating
solutions, but standard safety measures should be taken so you don't splash
it into your eyes or have prolonged contact with your skin.
Q: How
would you recommend getting started with electroforming?
were once very large, very expensive pieces of equipment. However you can find quite a few inexpensive ones on the market, and some are no
larger than a small battery pack! It still requires an investment of a couple
hundred dollars but you can buy complete electroforming kits with everything
you need to get started! Once you get started, be careful: it's kind of addictive. Soon you'll
be covering everything you find in copper!
Are you ready to learn more about electroforming and how you can use these beautiful natural pieces in your jewelry making projects? Check out Denise's new DVD, Easy Electroforming for Jewelry. You'll learn about basic setups for electroforming, preparing your pieces, finishing techniques and troubleshooting to help you create one-of-a-kind copper components! Get your copy of Easy Electroforming for Jewelry and add a natural touch to your favorite jewelry making projects!
Have you ever tried electroforming? Do you have any tips and hints to share with us? Leave a comment on the blog and share your tips or questions with us!
Bead Happy,
DENISE PECK is the editor of Step by Step Wire Jewelry and author of four best-selling books: Handcrafted Wire Findings, 101 Wire Earrings, Wire Style and Wire Style 2. She is a trained metalworking artist and teaches regularly at Bead Fest shows around the country. Her other DVDs: Metalwork: Wire Fusing & Other Micro-Torch Techniques and Metalwork: Making Bezels for Stone and Found Objects with a Micro-Torch offer more great lessons in making jewelry with a torch.
where do you get a electroforming kit?
I bought two of those lampwork acorn pendants at BeadFest Philly 2 years ago also, one for my mom's 70th birthday & one for me. I thought they were so cool & a bit symbolic. I took an electroforming class at this year's BeadFest Philly & felt like I could go a little crazy covering stuff in copper. Shells, plastic insects from the Dollar Store, Barbie boots, rattlesnake rattles, leaves, seed pods - nothing was safe from the electroforming bath in our class. It was a hoot to see everyone's projects!
I am interested in directions on how to patina copper (without paint). I don't object to sealing or cating to maintain the patina. I have looked up various formulas with chemicals to get a certain color, but the results are not the same as I see in your elctroforming.
Does Beadling daily have any advice or a guide or a past article?
Thank you.

Now you can have the strength and serviceability that Ford drivers have enjoyed for years underneath your GM vehicle. Currie Crate Rearends are built using the stock overall width, pinion offest, and mounting points of your original rear axle housing, making it a 100% bolt-in upgrade. Designed as a bolt-in kit for 1964-66 Chevelle, El Camino, Skylark, Cutlass, LeMans/GTO applications.

How to Measure Your Housing Tech Tip (Link)
Need a certain length not found on our site? Check out Currie's 9+ Rearend Calculator to have specially sized axles or rearend housings made for your specific application. Custom orders will be built and processed directly through Currie Enterprizes and shipped to your door. For ease of ordering, please refer to Currie's Dimension Diagram.
Installation Notes:
When installing new axles in rearends with posi traction differentials, be sure to install the driver's side axle first to keep the splines properly aligned. Failure to do so may move the two splined gears out of alignment, and it may be difficult to install the driver's side axle properly if the passenger side axle is already installed.
If installation of passenger side axle is done first it may require two people when installing the driver's side axle, with both parties rotating reach axle until splines are in line and the driver's side axle fully sides into the housing.
To ensure you get the most out of your new 9 Inch components, Currie recommends that you perform a proper break-in process:
- Use a name brand mineral-based gear oil, preferably 85w140 (Extremely high quality synthetic oils may be used once break-in process has been successfully performed)
- Place vehicle on jack stands and let the rearend spin while the vehicle idles - run transmission in both forward and reverse periodically throughout the process
- Continue to run the rearend until the pinion gets hot (place hand on bottom of the differential housing to verify this)
- Proper break-in allows:
- The ability to install new axles and hit the track the same day without worry
- Extended life for rearend components
- Keeps the quality and life of your gear oil
Note: If you find that your rearend is running somewhat "tight" be sure to add Currie's 9+ Friction Modifier to "loosen up". If a more aggressive performance is desired, Friction Modifier is not needed.

It would be really nice to see where your file is at in the file update queue. When I upload a file, I find myself anxiously checking the upload queue to see where I'm at.
With the update queue I am even more anxious because it is usually in response to a customer's request. It would really help me feel like it's not lost in the black box of FlashDen somewhere.
yes i would really love that! +1
yes…that would be great…I've uploaded an update today..do we recieve a confirmation from the staff if the update is successful? Because I didn't get anything like that till now… (it is been more than 12 hrs)...
yes please… +1
I think this has been stated before but still, a nice addition ! +1
definately +1, i ended up deleting the file and re-posting it because it was taking so long , losing all my comments, then just a few days later i got a confirmation message, and i had already deleted it so it wasn't technically updated, so i had to wait until today before it was uploaded again.
By the way, like the new "edit" system. it really helps me because i often make mictakes… lol

Maya 8.5
Realistic computer-animated movie scenes have been around for years, but hair, water, and fire are still difficult for 3D programs to handle. The new Maya 8.5 stands above the crowd.
Hair waving in the breeze, a fluttering cloak, flickering flames – computer-generated images are not what come to mind first when you see realistic scenes like these. But professional 3D rendering and animation programs such as Maya, Photorealistic RenderMan, and 3ds Max are now more than capable of generating a realistic-looking blaze, simulating malleable materials such as cloth or rubber, or automatically calculating the behavior of fluids. Autodesk Maya 8.5 was released mid-January, with the Complete version at an asking price of US$ 1,999, and the Unlimited version setting buyers back US$ 6,999.
Many of the special effects that distinguish Maya from the free 3D program Blender, such as hair and cloth simulations, are available in the Maya Unlimited version only. The price of the Maya software restricts its use to professionals, which makes it all the more interesting to discover to what extent an open source application can keep up with the major players.

Local schools get mixed marks on new progress reports
At Murrieta Valley High School, white, low-income and Latino students lacked the required participation levels.
Danielle Clark, spokeswoman for the Temecula Valley Unified School District, said the district's 22 schools did well overall.
"We have some areas where we need to improve our participation rate and we plan to do that by educating parents how important standardized tests are," she said.
Two schools scored low in proficiency and two scored low in proficiency and performance. Six scored low in participation. The only students that scored low in performance were enrolled in special education. Students' personalized education plans don't always match up with what's on the state standardized tests, she said.
"That is an area we are going to have to look at," she said.
