Why do we bother with spelling?
Unlike chess, in spelling the middle game is irrelevant. All that matters is the right choice at the beginning and the end. The middle letters, which must be the correct set of letters, can be completely jumbled and the reader will not be confused. To wit: "Arocdnicg to rsceearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit pobelrm. Tihs is buseace the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe." How can this little known God-given ability of the human brain be exercised to simplify, and perhaps improve, our lives? Any ttguhohs you cveelr TED fklos?
Closing Statement from edward long
OK. OK. Spelling is important and we should continue to teach it and all the rules associated with it to those learning how to read, speak, and write our language. From Silverstein to Shakespeare; from subjects like cryptography and dyslexia, this debate was spirited and very much worth while. From the Netherlands to China we TEDsters hashed-out our feelings on this skill we call Language. It makes sense that the subject of written communication would interest TED folks, after all, what is more crucial to TED Conversations than wtitten communication? I asked two questions. Both were answered. We bother with spelling because it permits standardized rules of written communication. And, the only possible beneficial application for the remarkable ability of the human brain to unjumble familiar words almost as fast as reading correctly spelled words is to jumble words as a way to draw attention to them and add emphasis. We learned the idea of jumbling and unjumbling words is known in the academic world as TYPOGLYCEMIA, and THE JUMBLING EFFECT. Taht's all floks!
May 2 2013: Well, Edward, it's certainly a lot easier and faster to type properly than jumbled!
May 2 2013: Now that is an ironclad argument Lizanne! The God-given ability to decipher, or un-jumble, written words is amazing to me. As you point-out it is not a better (easier) way to communicate but I think it is still pretty darn interesting. As for a useful application of the skill we have just one suggestion thus far in the debate. . . it could be used as way to control the seped at wihch the rdeaer is reading as a way to emphasize a certain point in the text. Thanks!
May 2 2013: Evolution sure has given us a remarkable ability for both auditory and written communication. When a system is ordered, like our system of mathematics, there is less ambiguity. With less ambiguity, the reader can be more sure of what the text is actually presenting.
May 2 2013: Agreed that clarity is inversely proportional to ambiguity and that the ability humans have to accomodate what seems like excessive ambiguity in written communication is remarkable. Perhaps we can argue the origin of the ability on some other occasion. Thank you Braden.May 2 2013: I agree Braden, that evolution has given us a remarkable ability for auditory and written communication. Now, the good thing to do is maybe use it for better communications with each other:>)
I do not perceive spelling as a "bother".....it's fun. And if I get it wrong, I am sure Edward will correct me, as he has done in the past. I don't need spell check......I have Edward:>)
You are new to TED? Welcome
You live in Burlington Vt.!!! Right down the road from me.....cool:>)May 3 2013: "S1M1L4RLY, Y0UR M1ND 15 R34D1NG 7H15 4U70M471C4LLY W17H0U7 3V3N 7H1NK1NG 4B0U7 17."
It looks like context and the idea of an 'auto-fill' is just about right, according to Marta Kutas, a cognitive neuroscientist and the director of the Center for Research in Language at the University of California, San Diego.
Our brains can also find appropriate corresponding letters to match digits, like in the above example.
I agree, Edward, it is fascinating.
Any thoughts concerning typing-dyslexia? When typing fast and getting message across quickly, we all are prone to it...
May 3 2013: Holy Moley! I read that with no difficulty whatsoever! My mind(or what's left of it) is blown! Thanks for sharing this authenticated stuff. Isn't typing dyslexia really just motor error? For example I aimed at the "J" key but hit the "K" key. We are wonderfully made for sure. Thanks again Lizanne!May 3 2013: That is funny and interesting Lizanne!!! I've seen lots of those little tests with jumbled letters.....they are sent by e-mail often. Never saw numbers added to the mix....can read it perfectly fine.....amazing what our brain can do!May 3 2013: Isn't that neat? Only drawback is, you have to use caps, otherwise the digits don't work as well. Personally, I find reading caps is like someone is yelling at me...!
What I meant with the typing dyslexia thing, was not so much a typo, like you described, but literally switching letters in mid-type: teh instead of the, yuo instead of you, etc. I do it all the time, and I often wonder why I do (and am grateful for an 'edit' button when I do).
May 3 2013: Really, I do that too (who doesn't?) and I figure it is a random motor malfunction or sloppiness caused by excessive rushing, not a predictable, habitual effect.
Pamela Kewin
May 5 2013: As others have said, we can only recognise these words because we can already spell. Language is a living thing, evolving all the time. Spellings have often changed over the centuries. The US and UK have different spellings for certain words. We do not need to make an effort to change spellings. Time does that for us.
- +2
Spelling is important because in most languages a missed letter can change the meaning of the word altogether. In English too. I remember when we were children I used to give my brother spelling tests and one of the words was "shirt". He forgot one of the letters and that was something we laughed over for a long time. 7 years olds can find a laugh in anything.
May 5 2013: Time keeps drifting into the future. The most often recurring opinion here is that WORD RECOGNITION is the key to "Typoglycemia,a.k.a. The Scrambler Effect". It seems a missing, or added, letter changes the degree of difficulty in unjumbling words. Each letter is important. I know 7-year-olds enjoy laughing at,and with, their Grandpas! Thanks Pamela!

May 5 2013: This trick only works if we already have a recognizable word with an accepted meaning imprinted in our conscious. So yes spelling does matter or we would never establish the required a posteriori knowledge.

May 5 2013: Spelling does matter. How esle cluod we eevr raed porrpely? Rihgt? By the way, the question asks why we bother to spell correctly when our brains do not require such precision. Also the question asks if there is some practical, beneficial application for this impressive human skill. Thanks Gord!

May 4 2013: Ouch! If someone ever writes a book about Typoglcemia, or The Scrambler Effect as the Cambridge folks call it, that photo MUST be on the jacket cover! Thanks for sharing.May 4 2013: We are in alot of trouble over here Lizanne....good thing you're in Europe huh?
May 4 2013: Ow, I am still cringing!
But believe you me, this kind of thing happens just as much in Europe. Misspelling and poor grammar is human, and thus international!
May 4 2013: Well, that is comforting......I think? :/May 4 2013: This is actually all false. The brain can understand these words because of the way they are presented.
The only words here that are jumbled give you some insight.
This has nothing to do with Cambridge University. This was an email sent by Graham Rawlinson. This email you posted was not produced by Cambridge University or anybody that works there.
Many readers have reported a decrease in reading speeds between 10-15 percent when the words are jumbled.
An actual study at Cambridge can be referenced here:
May 4 2013: It has been confirmed by earlier contributors that Cambridge University was merely mentioned in the sample paragraph and did not, in fact, conduct the study. Thank you for confirming the confirmation that the author of this is the mysterious Mr. Rawlinson. A million thanks for the very relevant link Henry. Hvae a good eneivng sir!
May 4 2013: Just wanted to make sure you are on the right track. No problem Edward I don't charge for my services. :)

May 1 2013: Every word was easy for me to read with the exception of "vernacular". My brain did not respond when asked,"What contextually appropriate 10-letter word which begins with the letter "V" and ends with the letter "R" could this be?" There was no word in my memory which readily popped-up so I had to play Word Jumble to get the answer. Does that indicate that the skill is based upon pattern recognition? Hmmmm. Thanks for a telling emalpxle!May 1 2013: :o You mghit heav a pinot theer.

You know, today I grabbed a piece of paper, and wrote a note to my son, and used the jumbling rule....and guess what?
He read it perfectly........and he's still a little kid.....May 2 2013: RE: "I enjoy vouvray myself. . . ". I am getting addled in my old age, I just spent 5-minutes trying to unjumble the word Vouvray! Good to know kids (yours anyway) can read jumbled words too. Gracias amiga.
May 2 2013: HaHaHa Ed!!
That is too funny. The same thing happens to me when I am reading, and there happens to be a spanish word in the context which I try to read it as if it were English. Right before I yell out, "hey, this doesn't make any sense", my brain catches itself and realizes I am reading a different language.
P.S. you misspelled gracious amongst ;)
John Harlow
Apr 29 2013: To be able to type as your copied text requires a perfect knowledge of spelling (or a spell checker), and would take an exceedingly long time to write. The trick fails if you don't have the first and last letter in place with correct word length.
- +2
So, why do we bother with spelling as opposed to standard incorrect spelling wich cud b lyk dis?
- Because it's easier to read.
- Because it conveys information more accurately.
- Because we are more likely to believe the information 'worthy', in the same way that many people judge others by appearance, not giving them a chance to prove their wisdom.
Apr 29 2013: Good argument John! Convention and uniformity is essential in a shared language. But, it's a heck of an ability the brain has to recognize the intended word.May 5 2013: Yff wi dydnt yoose speilleng eeght wud bea dighikultt tu onedurstande thynss, plos, trice tyu ys wurds lic riot wich haz diforint spelyngs foure defirynt meeneengs.

May 5 2013: "If we didn't use spelling it would be difficult to understand this, plus, try to use words like riot which has different spellings for different meanings." That took about twice as long to read as it would have had you spelled everything correctly, that's a50% reduction in comprehension speed. If you do it again using the "Official Jumble Rules" (first and last letter correct with only the correct letters jumbled in between) I will be able to read it with a maximum 10% reduction in comprehension speed. Thanks Pamela!
- +2
May 5 2013: This response I find interesting. Only because you cite "official jumble rules". That you must follow a specific protocol. Is that truly different than spelling? Especially as you cite it. Just thought interesting in light of the thread.
May 5 2013: Very astute Everett! The rules I see observed in the Cambridge paragraph are no less rigid than the rules of Spelling. This means that Typogycemia a.k.a. The Scrambler Effect is not a free-for-all festival of verbal anarchy. Nonetheless, the ability of the brain to read BOTH with ease is remarkable.May 5 2013: Except he left out the word tricky.... And got the whole sentence wrong.
Look at the Bible, when the Hebrews didn't use vowels. There's a reason they later added vowels to their language.
We use standardization to come up with an equal way of understanding. Language is a science, expression is an art.May 5 2013: Interesting, Pamela!
I had to actually read this out loud to make any sense of it.
My daughter is learning how to write, and this reminded me of how she spells - phonetically.

(For non-Americans, Leno amuses millions of TV viewers with particularly embarrassing print errors from newspapers and magazines.)
I once saw attributed to Thomas Jefferson a quote like "I have nothing but contempt for someone who knows only one way to spell a word."
It's worth remembering that most of the words in our language (any language) that differ in meaning or spelling from the source language got that way by mistake, some time in the past. Mistakes made the language we're so proud of.
May 5 2013: That is a reason to not spell perfectly. . . the entertainment value. Thanks PaulMay 4 2013: The brain is an active and natural pattern decoder, able to decode. I have seen this stated as "proof" that the brain reads whole words at time. It doesn't prove that at all. The reading brain is an excellent predictor, but it doesn't get there until it has practiced plenty, learning the patterns of the language and applying them to reading text. A beginning reader would not easily read this text. Read Words and Rules by Steven Pinker or watch his talk.
This doesn't have much to do with spelling. It has to do with a proficient reader's decoding brain.
May 5 2013: Thanks for the references, Della. I think spelling is germane to this debate because the brain does not stop functioning when it encounters a misspelled word. Although it may be socially preferable, It is not essential for every word to be correctly spelled to create a clear, readable communication. Several folks here have confirmed that their young ones are able to read the jumbled paragraph with ease which seems to offer a different explanation than yours. I agree that the jumbled words must be familiar to the reader, which is why it seems likely to me that a typical second-grader could read the following sentence: THE GRIL HIT THE BLAL WTIH HER BAT.May 3 2013: Perhaps you could expand your argument and include grammar...
May 3 2013: Jumbled words rather than jumbled letters? Let's try an example: Would you the point here get that placement word critical is? Is that the idea Michael? That seems to require more conscious decision making that just jumbled letters. Interesting. Thanks.

Apr 29 2013: Which is precisely why spelling is important.Thank you. Any ideas as to how this remarkable ability to read jumbled words could be incorporated to enhance or improve daily life?
Comment deleted
Apr 30 2013: The Cambridge research agrees with your observation that we don't look at every letter individually, but we look at the word as a whole. I don't agree with you that the phenomenon is not remarkable simply because everyone can do it. I think it is remakable. Also, the jumbled portion of the word is comprised of more than just the correct quantity of letters. . . they must be the correct letters as dictated by the rules of spelling. I too doubt that there is any way to use this skill to improve our lives. Thank you Chris!

Apr 30 2013: Again, thanks for the historical corrections. The gravity of the phenomenon itself remains real for me despite the dubious history of its discovery. Be well!

I know I can never edit my own work - even days later I still read from my mind rather then the words on the page or screen. Of course, as soon as I hit 'Submit', I see all the typo's and misspelt words glaring out at me. :-)Apr 29 2013: Spelling is at its most important when reading a word you haven't seen before. In english at least most words are the sum of their parts.
Apr 29 2013: Exactly! I think this phenomenon of easily reading jumbled words is based on familiarity with the word. I would not know a word was jumbled if I did not know the correct spelling. I believe your answer to the question about the need for proper spelling is spot on. We must agree upon the proper spelling if we hope to recognize the word next time we see it. Unrelated to that truth it is intriguing that we can read the familiar word even when all but the first and last letters are jumbled. Spelling is important as a way to load our memory with good data. Thank you Peter!

I appreciate your sharing your professional experience. The school to which I referred had Patricia Kuhl and Andrew Meltzoff advising, so I had a feeling the pedagogy was well considered.Apr 29 2013: You amtsolt hvae the ieda Mray! But, "of" cannot be jumbled. "Hope" jumbles to hpoe. "None" jumbles to nnoe. "Students" jumbles to suentnds (or several other possibles). Remember, the first and last letter must be correct AND properly placed in the word while the remaining letters must be correct but are jumbled. Ain't the human brain amazing? I awiat yuor rsoepsne!
Apr 29 2013: Hlleo aigan ED!
Well, I thought I had done it correctly......would I be a lousy misspeller....is there even such a thing?
I will come back and try to answer your question.
And fof was a type-o. I realize you have to keep 2 letter words intact.
I will disagree with the word 'none'....This is why.....When you spell this word it ends with an "e", but is speech, it ends with the "n" sound. Therefore, the logical misspelling is better set as noen.....The brain will pick up n at the beginning and n at the end.
If you spell it nnoe, the brain registers it as 'no' or 'know'......What do you think of this?
BTW it is the same with hope (hoep and not hpoe)
Apr 29 2013: I love simple things. I think the rule of jumbled words is simply that the beginning and ending letters must be correct regarding spelling AND position while all the other letters need only be correct regarding spelling. I think phonemics etc. play no role in this particular phenomenon. This power of the brain is based upon choosing the right word from memory, not from familiarity with sounds produced by various letter combinations. I think the human brain sees the first and last letter and asks, "What word is probably intended here based upon the first and last letters AND the quantity and identity of the letters in between but not upon proper sequencing of those central letters, and upon context?"--PS I imagine you are not a very good misspeller.Apr 28 2013: I don't agree the words can necessarily be read without a problem. When a word is dramatically misspelled, reading it becomes a puzzle which slows down reading. Sometimes the context does not give adequate clue to distinguish which of two words you meant to use.
For small children it is definitely useful not to be finicky about spelling when they are very young. Children can begin to write fluently before it makes sense for them to worry about spelling. An English teacher can comment better about when it makes sense from a developmental standpoint to flag unusual spellings.
Apr 28 2013: It is with trepidation that I must disagree. Do you feel the sample paragraph was more difficult to read than if the spelling had been perfect? I did not. I stand amazed at the brain's power. I agree that a person who does not know the jumbled words will have trouble reading them. I read the sample paragraph just a easily as I would the unjumbled version because I RECOGNIZE all the words and my brain anticipates the next word based upon the previous word(s). Also, I cannot agree that it ever good teaching policy to allow a child to go uncorrected when doing something incorrectly. Teaching the 3 R's is about showing the correct way, it is NOT about condoning the incorrect way by withholding correction.
Apr 28 2013: I would have read your paragraph faster were the words correctly spelled, even though in your paragraph, context did make it clear what the words could reasonably be. I could imagine sentences, however, in which one would not immediately know whether "bred" means bird or bread.
As I wrote, it would be instructive to hear from a preschool or kindergarten teacher on the point of when to start scrutinizing spelling. I have no professional expertise in that age group.
I do remember that my eldest daughter went for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten to a school that was well known for its early childhood reading/writing pedagogy. In fact one of the world's experts on children's acquisition of language and probably a TED speaker (I have not checked that) was on the board.
Their definite position on this matter was to start kids writing before the point of attending to spelling.
We will wait until someone with expertise in early childhood language development chimes in.
Apr 28 2013: Yes, phonemic awareness.....which is making young minds aware of the 'sounds' letters make, helps 4 and 5 and even 6 year olds become writers before they can even read.
- +2
If you google 'kindergarten classrooms or blogs' you might find some of this wonderful work online. Kindergarten teachers are notorious for showing off this kind of emergent writing.......it is very impresive.
As an elementary teacher, I oftentimes have told my students to write the letters they hear, and when I read their paper I will be able to make out what they were trying to say.
This system really works.....but should you carry off into the rest of your life? IMHO....No.
I have to do some research so I can get my wording right to be able to give a precise explanation.Apr 28 2013: Look at this link......scroll to the middle of the page and look at the note to the mom:
Could you make out the message?....
"Dear Mommy, I drew this picture for you, love Kayla."Apr 28 2013: My advisor is my wife who has 25 years in elementary education. She says that to withhold correction for spelling errors would be a cardinal sin. If children are old enough to be writing they must not be allowed to spell incorrectly. They can give their best guess as to how a word is spelled, but when they get the paper back from being graded the incorrectly spelled words MUST be identified and corrected.Also Fritzie, the jumbled word must be composed of only the letters required to spell that word correctly, so your example of "bred" could not be the word "bread" or "bird". Jumbled bread would be beard, or bared, or braed. In context your brain would assume the proper word. Jumbled bird would be brid. Got it?Apr 29 2013: I saw that in the Cambridge research. But in terms of the question of whether spelling matters, misspellings are not going to look like the anagrams in the Cambridge research. They are going to involve a sequence of letters that sound to the person's ear like the word sounds spoken. So the ambiguity the word "bred" offers is a better sample, I think, for illustrating why spelling does matter.
In terms of your wife's philosophy, I am sure in any subject teachers have a variety of philosophies about how to handle their students. From a different subject, some piano teachers used to slap kids hands with rulers who made errors and some would never do this. Pedagogical preferences are all over the map. Some teachers let first graders use calculators and some not.

According to Dr. Smith, the Balad Air Base handled all major traumas. "All the big stuff got sent there," explains Dr. Smith. "It was actually the most actively attacked base." Dr. Smith says that while they saw both American and Iraqi patients, the carnage of wartime surgery wasn't the most difficult aspect of his service. "It's a war zone—so, you don't know what is going to happen next, or when the next attack is going to happen," shares Dr. Smith. "Mentally it is tough. You are away from home, in a hostile environment, and that goes on 24 hours a day. When you come back to the United States, things are a lot simpler. The daily stresses of life don't seem so difficult. You have an entirely different perspective."

FORT WALTON BEACH — The Okaloosa County School Board has approved a buyer for the old Ocean City Elementary School property.
Watree Construction and Development LLC will purchase the 10.72-acre property at 720 Essex Road for a little more than $1.01 million, School Board attorney Jeff McInnis said at the board's meeting earlier this week.
Read the agreement with Watree »
Watree's offer was selected over three other bids. It suggested no changes or financing requests, McInnis said.
"It was a very clean contract," he said.
The School Board voted in May to put the property and the 65,152-square-foot building on the market after learning how much it would cost to keep it in its inventory.
The school district spent more than $50,000 on utilities and maintenance on the property in 2012. The building also needs a new roof, which would have cost about $1 million.
The district had three appraisals done before it accepted bids. They ranged from $750,000 and $1.7 million, McInnis said.
The property is zoned institutional. No one from Watree could be reached for comment about the firm's plans for the site or if it will request a zoning change.
McInnis said the sale will be finalized at the end of the month.
Ocean City Elementary was built in the mid-1960s. The school district closed it in the summer of 2008 because of declining enrollment.
"We are continuing to see declining enrollment in the south end, and I think personally this is great price," School Board member Cathy Thigpen said at the meeting.
Dewey Destin, who was hesitant in May to seek offers for the property, said he couldn't support the sale because he wasn't convinced the school district would never have a use for it in the future.
Cindy Frakes said it was a matter of negative cash flow.
"We're just pouring more and more money into a school that we'll probably never use," Frakes said.
Melissa Thrush said she shared some of Destin's concerns, especially since neither of them was on the School Board when Ocean City was closed.
Before she said she would support the sale, Thrush was enthusiastic about another proposal McInnis mentioned.
Community Solutions of the Emerald Coast and the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce submitted letters asking the board to postpone the sale for six months while they gather partners to try to use the former school as a community resource center for homeless families. Churches and other local organizations also submitted letters supporting the idea.
Read the proposal from the Community Solutions of the Emerald Coast »
"The acquisition of a facility for our community resource center was originally on a 5-year plan, created in 2013!" the letter stated. "Thus, the current availability of Ocean City has expedited the process dramatically.
"While we see Ocean City as a unique and exciting opportunity, we don't yet have all the answers."
Thrush said she hoped the School Board could work with the organization in the future because of the need for such a resource in the community.

Last week's informational workshop about the Port St. Joe Redevelopment Agency (PSJRA) was equal doses education and frustration.
The aim of the workshop was to provide a history of the PSJRA to date.
Mayor Mel Magidson suggested at last week's meeting during which city commissioners began the process of dissolving the PSJRA board that fueling the debate over the agency's future was a "lack of understanding of the facts" surrounding the history and operations of the redevelopment agency.
While the theme of the workshop was "how the agency got here", it at times turned into a pitched discussion about the path traveled the past month by a slim majority of commissioners.
Those actions, one resident noted, had the community "in an uproar."
PSJRA executive director Gail Alsobrook and Magidson, the lone commissioner to attend the workshop, tried to steer the discussion to broad strokes, but the tenor of the debate often echoed that on the commission the past three meetings.
In sum, commissioners and some residents express frustration with the agency's operational model and board makeup.
"A lot of people don't understand what is going on, period," said resident Nathan Peters, Jr.
There is also equal, if not more, frustration in sectors of the community over a lack of understanding about the goal of the majority's actions to dissolve the board.
"What is the problem?" said resident Gina Vicari. "Why are we trying to get rid of these un-paid people and replace them with the same five (city) commissioners? They have other issues on their plate."
The bones of contention, as framed by residents Thursday night, could be placed under several large umbrellas.
The makeup of the board
There is a sense, said resident Tim Nelson, that the PSJRA board is "insular" and comprised of some of the same people who serve on other boards.
He questioned the extent to which the board would be open to new members and new ideas from others in the community.
"That's why we feel left out of the loop," Nelson said.
Alsobrook and Magidson repeatedly said the PSJRA board meetings are public, advertised in advance by statute.
"Any input from the public I think the board would be very receptive," Alsobrook said, noting that PSJRA board meetings are lightly attended. "If the public gets involved the board will listen."
Debra Barnes said she thought the board should expand its numbers and suggested PSJRA board members go into the community to fully grasp feelings of resistance reflected by the three commissioners voting to dissolve the board.
Board chair Boyd Pickett said he had done just that.
"I have been out in the community and I haven't found anybody (who doesn't approve of what we are doing) except the three commissioners and they won't even return my calls," Pickett said.
Further, several PSJRA board members said of the three commissioners, two, Commissioners Phil McCroan and William Thursbay had never attended a meeting.
The board is also a reflection of statutory-mandates concerning the makeup as well the goals set forth in the agency's master plan.
"The board vets ideas for the benefit of the community," said Alsobrook, who was noncommittal about her future if the board is dissolved. "They are helping the community and they are professionals who are volunteers. It is working on more levels than you can imagine.
"It is work. It is like a second job."
Operations, spending, hiring, firing
Commissioners Thursbay and Bo Patterson have said they did not approve of a board that operates beyond the reach of voters, yet spends tax money and has the ability to hire and fire an executive director.
Board member Michael McKenzie said suggestions that spending is done outside the scope of governmental oversight is "not factually accurate."
Alsobrook, as executive director, has an annual budget approved by the PSJRA board and city commissioners which she must operate the agency from. Once commissioners approve the budget, spending must be done under the same constraints by which the city and county spend their budgets, he said.
All spending, as well as who the PSJRA board can hire or fire, Magidson added, is subject to review and final approval by city commissioners. Nothing is done without their final knowledge and say-so.
"Nothing the board does is done without our approval," Magidson repeatedly said.
Nelson questioned whether the PSJRA board conveys all pertinent information to the commission, providing any and all options on any given issue or project.
Maybe the most confusing aspect of the redevelopment agency, several residents said, was the Tax Increment Financing that funds operations.
A base year for property values within the original agency boundaries – roughly, give or take some footage, First Street to the midline of State 71 to just beyond Garrison Avenue- was established in 1989.
Of any increases in property values within the boundaries since, the redevelopment agency – and as Magidson said, by turn the city, – recoups 95 percent of that increase while the city receives the remainder.
No one's taxes increase – resident Lorinda Gingell suggested taxes actually stay down because the redevelopment agency improves property values for all – and it's not an additional tax; the agency simply is getting a slice.
The agency did not even draw funding until the early 2000s.
That funding, much less since the decline of the real estate market, can only be spent within the agency boundaries, Alsobrook said.
Further, it can only be spent on projects within the parameters of the agency's master plan.
Property values in the expanded area – nearly all of the neighborhood of North Port St. Joe – established in 2009, have not rebounded yet to draw income.
That has not prevented the agency, as noted by board member Patti Blaylock, from using dollars to leverage for grant funding for the expanded area, such as for new sidewalks on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd and lights on David Langston Drive.
State law allows the agency to use a small percentage of dollars from the original area for such purposes, Alsobrook said.
Alsobrook summed up the workshop after 75 minutes by saying she hoped a solution other than "throwing the baby out with the bath water" by dissolving the board.
"I don't understand why the city commission wants to take over and wants to stop you from doing a successful job," said resident Eddie Fields.

Punkatasset morning: October in Concord, MA
Yesterday afternoon, October 18, it snowed in Concord, Massachusetts. Seems to me that such weather should be outside the bounds of natural law! The photo above is what Concord, MA should look like in mid-October (and does, today!) and I'm grateful to MDR for sharing this beautiful image with us.

I used to take my dog Lucy for walks at Punkatasset - usually about three times a week. She loved it! We would make our way around Hutchins Pond and, at the end of the walk, Lucy would go for a swim. She loved that too, Especially if there were other dogs or children to play with. Lucy was a very friendly puppy!
This photo brought back some lovely memories of my Lucy. Thanks.

It is beautiful indeed. I remember those scenes from my military days when I was stationed in Massachusetts -- Ayer, to be precise. Not that far from Concord, and very much like Concord in appearance. There is definitely something special about a New England fall BEFORE the snow comes! (Of course, the snow and ice came be beautiful, too. I don't think God knows how to many a season that is not beautiful.)

Robot Butler Anyone?
Researchers in Japan have created humanoid robots that can serve tea and clean up afterwards. In an article you can view here, you can read about how researchers are now shifting their focus from walking robots to a variety of other "practical movements", including holding a cup without dropping it - or crushing it...

This is exactly what happened to me. I accidentally installed windows 8.1 Enterprise, but am unable to activate it with a valid product key because I don't have one. As a result, my computer shuts down on its own after about an hour. Is there any way I can go back to windows 8.1, or even 8? I really need help with this.

BOLD Gathering Teleconference: Locating Ourselves within Movement(s) by user5157065
Are we, as QTPOC, a strong arm of a bigger movement (such as the mainstream gay movement) or are we leading a movement of our own? At our national BOLD Gathering, we will talk about movements and organizing and leadership as the US population changes to majority people of color. How can we, as QTPOC people, affect the creation and direction of a movement that brings about the change for which we dream and work? What do we need to know?
Panelists: Lisa Weiner-Mahfuz, Malachi Larrabee-Garza
BOLD Gathering Teleconference: What Is This Movement Moment by user6393373
This moment we are in, when the world is undergoing great upheaval and change, offers great opportunities and challenges for us. Some examples of opportunities are the fast ways to communicate and connect through technology; an US that will soon be majority people of color; an increased interest in queer relationships and their place in society; people rising up around the world to claim their freedom. Some examples of challenges are the failed economy and the increase of unemployed and poor people; the attack on immigrants; the growth of the rightwing and the power it has found in the Tea Party; and tensions between and among communities of color. What's our movement moment? What skills and understandings do we need to meet it?

University Libraries Receives $25,000 Gift
The Saint Louis University Library Associates (SLULA), a non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance the visibility of SLU's three libraries, has given a $25,000 gift to the University.
|Hugh Law, President, Saint Louis University Library Associatee
Hugh Law, president of SLULA, stressed the importance of supporting the mission of the University Libraries and the students who gain knowledge from the materials available there.
"Nothing is more important in the university experience than for a student to learn how to educate him-or herself from documents in a field of study - whether on paper or electronically," Law said.
The gift will be used to promote the development of University collections and services at Pius XII Memorial Library, the Medical Center Library and the Omer Poos Law Library.
SLULA was founded in 1964 by University President Paul Reinert, S.J., area business leader Henry Scherck and J. Barry McGannon, S.J., the long-time vice president for development and chancellor of SLU. The goal was to build a closer relationship between the University and the community and to enhance the prestige of SLU as one of St. Louis' most important and sustainable organizations.
|Gail Staines, Ph.D, vice president for University Libraries
Gail Staines, Ph.D., assistant vice president for University Libraries, said now, more than four decades later, that support continues to help move the libraries forward.
"For 47 years, the Library Associates have supported collections and services with a significant annual donation," Staines said. "We have been able to enhance the libraries' collections - particularly in the area of special collections - because of this long-tern generosity."
SLULA's premier development event is the Saint Louis Literary Award. First presented as the Wilma and Roswell Messing, Jr. Award in 1967, literary giants from around the world have traveled to St. Louis to accept this honor. Recipients have included acclaimed authors Salman Rushdie, Don DeLillo, Joyce Carol Oates, E. L. Doctorow and many others.
Today the honor, known simply as the Saint Louis Literary Award, is presented annually by the Saint Louis University Library Associates.

[Spoilers ahead]
I've asked these questions on other forums, but haven't had much response. so I'll try here. Thud! is my favorite DW novel. Anyway:
1. When Angua and Vimes go 'walkabout' in the mind during their meeting with Ardent, they come to the door where Vimes gets "pricked" with the Summoning Dark. We know later that a dead dwarf miner is on the other side. Why didn't Angua "smell" the dead miner here, since she certainly is able to smell Hamcrusher's corpose.
2. If we assume that "The Battle of Koom Valley" is a more or less accurate portrayal of the 2,000 trolls and dwarves engaged in the battle (we must assume so, otherwise there wouldn't need to be a Codex for it), how did Methodia Rascal "learn" the details that allowed him to render the battle with such accuracy? He didn't know Dwarfish (or Trollish, for that matter), so there's no way he could have understood what Bloodaxe and Shine were saying on the cube.
Just niggling points, but I wonder...

Panasonic DMP-B200
Good picture quality, compact, good format support, ease of use
Screen can't display full HD, heavy, pricey, not Profile 2.0
Panasonic is currently the only manufacturer to offer a portable Blu-ray player in the UK, and its latest model comes in the form of the DMP-B200, a logically named successor to the B100. Despite being a portable device, the DMP-200 felt fairly hefty the second that we got it out of the box and the weight was added to considerably once the battery was attached, making it a fair bit heavier than many portable DVD players. The battery also sticks out, spoiling any hopes of a streamlined product and the large screen hinge also protrudes. However, it is still relatively compact compared to non-portable decks.
The simple black plastic finish, with tiny glittery detail, makes a nice change from the high-gloss products that seem so popular at the moment, but end up covered in fingerprints the second that they emerge from the box. In contrast to the classy lid, the cheap-looking grey plastic used on the underside isn't particularly pretty, but then it will be hidden for most of the time anyway.
Down the left-hand side of the unit, you'll find the the covered SD card slot along with an HDMI port for hooking up to an HDTV. The right-hand edge reveals a headphone socket, along with volume controls and a menu button one the edge of the screen. There's no Ethernet port or Wi-Fi connection, making this a Profile 1.1 player, rather 2.0. Having said that, it will support some special features, but not the web-based BD-Live ones.
The large hinge means the the screen can be viewed in the normal way, like a laptop screen, and it can also be freed from its locked position and tilted at a different angle or laid flat (well, nearly flat) against the base for compact viewing. Opening up the lid reveals a small selection of rudimentary controls including play, stop and skip, a "back" button, a multi-directional control surrounding an ok button, and a switch to toggle between the disc and SD card playback modes.
The B200 offers full HD 1080/24p playback and will also upconvert 480i/p or 720p footage to 1080p. Along with Blu-ray and DVD, the B200 will support most of the usual suspects including BD-RE, BD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW, DVD-R DL and CD-R/RW. As our review unit was a UK model, it was set up to play region 2 DVDs and region B Blu-ray discs. The memory card slot will accomodate SD, SDHC and SDXC cards, supporting JPEG, AVCHD, MPEG-2, MP3 and DivX HD files. It won't play SACD or DVD-Audio but that shouldn't bother most people, unless you happen to be one of the few who is clinging to the notion of SACD becoming a mainstream format.
Boot-up time is pretty good (just under 1 minute), especially considering that we tested it with some particularly Java-heavy discs that contain lots of special features. There is quick start mode, but this is only any good if the unit is being powered by the mains and not when you're running it off the battery as it uses more power during standby. The onscreen menu is very basic, but similar to that used on Panasonic's standalone decks, giving you easy access to everything you need without having to navigate through endless screens of options.
The 8.9-inch screen has the same 1024 x 600-pixel resolution as its predecessor, which although is decent enough to see the difference between DVD and Blu-ray discs, doesn't pack the pixel count for a true HD picture. For that, you'll need to hook up to an HDTV. Having said that, the screen still looks pretty impressive, colours are vibrant and full of punch, particularly on animations. Skin tones are slightly lacking in reaslism but we found that tinkering with the picture settings sorted this out. Edges are sharp and fine detail is reproduced with surprising precision. The screen does stuggle slightly on fast-moving images, such as the zippy rugby scenes from Invictus, where things tend to get a little blurry.
You can adjust the LCD brightness by selecting one of three modes - standard, dynamic (for high contrast) or night (for viewing in dark places). Black levels are fairly good on the small screen, with dark scenes managing to avoid the greying over that can sometimes occur. However, details are pretty much lost in the inky corner of the darkest scenes. Like most of the other visual foibles on the 8.9-inch screen, the black levels are exponentially better when the player is hooked up to a full-size HDTV, making this a pretty good standalone player, as well as a portable.
The compact remote control has a decent 7m range, but other than that it's not great. There are far too many buttons squeezed into a small space and all of them are exactly the same size (tiny) and the same distance apart so it's impossible to get a feel for where the most frequently used buttons are.
If you're using the player as a portable device, then you're unlikely to need a remote anyway, but you might need one if you intend to hook it up to an HDTV. However, the deck is also kitted out with Panasonic's Viera Link which means that you can control the B200, as well as several other pieces of compatible Panasonic kit, using the same remote.
The B200 supports DTS and Dolby HD audio formats, but the built-in speakers don't really do them justice. They sound rather weak and tinny and bass is almost totally absent. However, switching to a decent pair of headphones soon remedies the problem so that you get the full effect of Blu-ray's audio skills. As you're likely to be using the player either with headphones or hooked up to a TV, we think it would be unfair to dwell on the B200's lacklustre speakers too much.
The player has a quoted battery life of 4 hours, which we found to be about right, so you should be able to squeeze in two regular films or a historical epic before the juice runs out. The B200 is also supplied with a bracket for mounting the player onto the headrest of a car seat to keep backseat passengers entertained.
Although a little on the hefty side, the Panasonic DMP-B200 is still fairly compact with a reassuringly robust chassis. It also gets good marks for its picture quality and format support. Although some people won't be able to get over the screen's pixel count not technically allowing for HD playback, the fact that the player can be used as a decent standalone deck with an HDTV may help to sweeten the deal. As does the fact that playback from a Blu-ray disc still looks superior to DVD playback, even on the small screen.
Some may also baulk at paying over £300 for a player can isn't Profile 2.0, but if you're not that fussed about the BD-Live features than this shouldn't be a problem.

Yogini Ekadasi is observed during the waning phase of moon in the month of June or July. The story associated with Yogini Ekadashi was told to Yudhisthira by Lord Krishna. Legend has it that Kuvera, the King of Alakapuri, was a devotee of Lord Shiva and his gardener Hema
Hema used to collects flowers from the
The king send a messenger to find out why he did not receive the flowers for puja and discovered that Hema was spending time with his wife instead of collecting flowers.
Hema was immediately summoned to the court. He pleaded for forgiveness. But the king cursed Hema that he will be afflicted with white leprosy. He was cursed for forgetting his duty and indulging in sense gratification and there by disrespecting Lord Shiva and breaking king's daily puja schedule.
Hema was thrown out of the palace and soon got afflicted with white leprosy. Hema roamed the forests for several years and finally arrived at the ashram of sage Markandeya. Hema narrated his story to the sage. Saint Markandeya advised Hema to observe Yogini Ekadasi which will help in liberating him from the curse.
Hema observed Yogini Ekadasi and got back his divine form of Yaksha and he got reunited with his wife.

France deserved the try anyway given the professional penalties given away by the ABs on the proceeding scrums.
another great performance
what happened to the ref when he randomly decided to award the 2nd french try?
terrible call
Good to hear Kieran Read is expected back for the Canadian game. I'm not an Adam Thomson fan at all. Loosies of McCaw, Read & Kaino will do nicely thanks
Yeah, I'd like that combination as well, although I thought Thomson had an excellent game tonight.
Really top performance from the ABs, first half in particular. Had real parallels to the Tri-Nations match against Australia at Eden Park in July; big first half performance from the ABs, a slightly lower intensity in the second giving away a few tries, but as soon as the opposition scores a try the ABs hit back with one from the kick-off. In terms of giving France opportunities to score, I think this was a better all-round effort than that match against Australia - O'Connor could've kicked 3 or 4 penalties and kept the score close while France never had the opportunity to do that tonight. Dagg deservedly the MOTM but fingers crossed that injury towards the end of the game isn't too serious. Also thought the tribute to McCaw was very well done.
Worried about all the injuries coming out of these games. Jane'll be fine, but Thomson didn't look in tip-top nick at the end either, and with Read only just working his way back from injury, we look short in the loose forwards.

Minnesota Golden Gophers Football Tickets
Minnesota Golden Gophers Football Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews
2013: 8-5 (4-4 Big Ten); lost Texas Bowl to Syracuse The Golden Gophers improved yet again in 2013. They made a second straight bowl appearance, narrowly losing to Syracuse in the Texas Bowl, but the bar has definitely been raised. Running back David Cobb and quarterback Mitch Leidner combine for a great ground game; Leidner will also be the top-string quarterback this season which could decide a lot about this season. Minnesota doesn't feature all that strong of a receiving group and they don't have the recruiting power to change that in a hurry but they feature a decent offense overall. Defensively, they were the 25th-best scoring defense in the FBS. The coaching regime of Jerry Kill has finally taken a firm standing over this team and he appears to be the right man to lead them into more success. This fall Minnesota's toughest matchups will be at Michigan and Wisconsin and at home against Ohio State. Coach Kill looks to elevate this team to even higher level bowls. Minnesota is a largely untapped college football market that this university is ready to take advantage of. The Vikings are moving in alongside the Golden Gophers for the next two years but it's a solid college stadium that is more than ready to support a winner. Minnesota will continue their traditions of the Governor's Victory Bell with Penn State, the Floyd of Rosedale with Iowa, the Little Brown Jug with Michigan, and Paul Bunyan's Axe with Wisconsin. But with just one 10-win season since 1905, Minnesota has especially enjoyed their success over the last 15 years, like 11 bowl appearances and a national ranking for much of the early and mid 2000s. Before 1999 they had just five prior bowl appearances, but they do have a stunning seven national championships. Get your Golden Gophers tickets today while the team continues its recent success!

In 1965 Yash Pal Suri left India for the U.K. The first thing he does on his arrival in England is to buy 2 Super 8 cameras, 2 projectors and 2 reel to reel recorders. One set of equipment he sends to his family in India, the other he keeps for himself. For forty years he uses it to share his new life abroad with those back home - images of snow, miniskirted ladies dancing bare-legged, the first trip to an English supermarket - his taped thoughts and observations providing a unique chronicle of the eccentricities of his new English hosts. Back in India, his relatives in turn, respond with their own 'cine-letters' telling tales of weddings, festivals and village life. As time passes and the planned return to India becomes an increasingly remote possibility, the joy and curiosity of the early exchanges give way to the darker reality of alienation, racism and a family falling apart. A bitter-sweet time capsule of alienation, discovery, racism and belonging, "I for India" is a chronicle of immigration in sixties Britain and beyond, seen through the eyes of one Asian family and their movie camera

This old British fort is located on Île aux Noix, in the middle of the Richelieu River. No bridge connects this island, with its fabulous destiny. There isn't any choice: you have to leave your vehicle behind. The boat is how you get there! The children will love it. The crossing takes five minutes. Just long enough to cross the time barrier and tread the ground of an outstanding site.
Located a few kilometres from the Canada-U.S. border, the fort was built from 1819 to 1829. It consists of defensive works and of several masonry buildings of outstanding beauty. The site as a whole had the aim of protecting the colony from an eventual American invasion along the Richelieu River.

Problems deepen at Baybutt construction projectsBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | January 10,2013BRATTLEBORO Financial problems continue to mount for Baybutt Construction Co., as the state of Vermont declared Baybutt in default Wednesday of its $2.6 million construction contract for renovation of the state office building in Brattleboro, clearing the way for its bond company to come in and take over the stalled renovation.
Robert Rea, director of facilities for the Vermont Department of Buildings and General Services, said that Baybutt had run into financial trouble this fall, if not earlier.
We started to see red flags in September, Rea said. Subcontractors have not been paid, he said, and have refused to work.
While some work has continued at the Brattleboro renovation, he said only a handful of workers had been on the job recently, when there should have been about 40.
The states action could be repeated in Rockingham, where the Rockingham Select Board is slated to meet in an emergency session this afternoon to discuss the stalled renovation project at the Rockingham Free Public Library. Baybutt is the general contractor on the $2.9 million renovation.
But unlike the state of Vermont, Rockingham does not have a valid payment and performance bond, according to town officials.
The town attorney, Stephen Ankuda of Springfield, said that Rockingham did not have a performance and payment bond from Baybutt, despite paying $21,000 for it earlier in the year.
The lack of a payment and performance bond has left the town in an unenviable position, Ankuda said.
Rockingham Municipal Manager Tim Cullenen said the town had paid for the payment and performance bond, but it had dropped through the cracks and library and town officials didnt notice it was not in place. The library is owned by the town, but the library trustees run the library, which is funded by voters on Town Meeting Day.
Cullenen said that the town had the option of pursuing legal action against Baybutt.
According to Ankuda, neither the town nor the library trustees had an attorney review the contract with Baybutt, something Ankuda said was not unusual.
Typically, a performance and payment bond costs between 2 and 3 percent of the total construction project, said Rea, the state official.
Ankuda said that Baybutt, which is based in Keene, N.H., had assured town officials and its architect on the library project that it had the payment and performance bonds. But sometime in November or early December, the town discovered the bond did not exist.
Baybutt said it had been an oversight and offered to refund the $21,000, Ankuda said. The town did not take Baybutt up on its offer, he said.
Ankuda said the town did not have a clerk of the works on the library project, but did have a management contract with the projects architect, SMP Architecture of Concord, N.H.
Liens totalling $466,000 have been filed in connection with the library renovation project, and town officials said Baybutt was paid for those bills, but did not pay contractors.
As for the state office building in Brattleboro, Rea said that the bonding company had come on board in the past week or so.
They want to minimize their losses and their exposure. They are going to try to utilize the subcontractors already working. We would like that to happen as well, Rea said, noting that the Brattleboro project was about 40 percent complete, and had been expected to be ready for state employees to move back in by the end of March.
The state is paying about $35,000 a month for rental offices for the Department of Health, the Department of Labor and the Agency of Human Services, while the offices were being renovated.
The state office building is adjacent to the Brattleboro Municipal Center.
Baybutt has run into problems at six different projects, said Tom Appel of New England Management Co., who managed another large Baybutt construction project the new Brattleboro Food Co-op and housing by the Windham Windsor Housing Trust.
Appel said that it was normal that there was some tension between the general contractor and subcontractors on any major construction project, but he said the food coop became concerned last year with the amount of complaints.
Appel said the new food co-op, which is 98 percent complete, and has been open to the public since June, still had a punch list of minor issues that needed to be completed by Baybutt before it would get its final payment.
But Appel said that the food co-op project still had withheld 5 percent of the total cost of the project, waiting for the final issues to be resolved.
Appel said it appeared that Baybutt had run into problems at about six large construction projects two in Brattleboro, one in Rockingham, two in Keene and one in Nantucket.
Rea said the state had worked with Baybutt before on a large construction project at Johnston State College about 15 years ago, and the firm had done excellent work.
But they say the doors are locked at its office in Keene and no one was there. It doesnt look good, said Rea.
Baybutt officials couldnt be reached for comment Wednesday.
According to published reports in the Keene Sentinel, Baybutts corporate offices have been foreclosed on and are due to be auctioned off on Feb. 1, along with a small ski area, Granite Gorge Ski Area, it owns outside Keene.

This is becoming more important as disease and infection are spreading more rapidly every day, and unsafe tattooing is quickly becoming the culprit guilty of creating the necessity for tattooists to be vaccinated against Hepatitis for their own protection and for the protection of their future clients.
Unfortunately, it is not a common practice across the globe yet. Many studios still do not practice this safety measure. It does not necessarily mean they are unsafe, although practicing this does put a client's mind at ease. If they are not vaccinated, just be sure they are following the other safety guidelines to prevent cross-contamination.
If they do claim to vaccinate, never just take anyone's word for it. Do they have proof? Can they show you a doctor's record proving they were vaccinated. If they tell you they don't remember, they're probably lying. When I went in for my Hep B vaccination, I told the doctor I wasn't sure if I'd ever gotten one or not. She said I would definitely remember it if I had – it's a series of 3 shots given over a 4 month period of time. It's not something that's going to just slip someone's mind.
In this day and age, it is advisable that everyone is vaccinated against this disease. It wouldn't hurt to make sure that you are vaccinated before you receive a new tattoo.

Threaded fasteners literally keep your Corvette together. Without these little wonders, the engine would just be a pile of metal components, your suspension wouldn't stay on, and so on. There's so much to discuss that this edition of Garage Talk is Part 1 of 2 parts so we don't gloss over any of the important stuff. That being said, let's not screw around and get right down to the nuts and bolts of it all.
The most common threaded fasteners are bolts, screws, and studs. Technically, bolts are externally threaded fasteners designed for insertion through holes in assembled parts. Specifically, a bolt is normally tightened and released by turning a mating nut.
The nomenclature of bolts can be somewhat confusing at first, so here's an explanation of what's what:
All Boxed Up : Fastener assortments like this one in stainless steel are a great way to have the right hardware on hand, and they're available in all the popular fastener sizes and styles in a variety of materials including chrome.>>>
Stove bolts are very common and named for their original purpose, which was the assembly of cast-iron stoves. They are available in diameters from 5.32 inch to 1/2 inch and in lengths from 3.8 inch to 6 inches. They have slotted heads for screwdrivers (some more modern versions can have Phillips heads); the heads themselves are available in round (half a sphere), flat (flat on top, tapered to threads), or pan (wide, rounded head).
Carriage bolts are a class of bolts that generally have round heads with small square sections underneath. They usually fit into square holes, thereby "locking" themselves in place so that a nut can be turned tight without spinning the bolt itself. Sometimes carriage bolts have ribbed necks rather than square ones.
Step bolts are carriage bolts that have enlarged heads that "step down" to the square neck. The flanged heads spread loads over a very large area. Bumper bolts are typically step bolts so the chromed round head gives a better appearance.
Joint bolts are tapered at the tip to act as a "self-aligning" device to center itself in a captive nut and start threading straight. They are found in many areas on automobiles and other vehicles, as well as some machinery.
T-head bolts are made with a T-shaped head instead of the usual hex or square heads. They are used in situations where there is no easy way to put a wrench on the head. Engine blocks and transmission cases frequently utilize these bolts.
Countersunk bolts have heads that are flat on top and tapered to the shaft. They usually have hex sockets (Allen), but sometimes have large Phillips sockets. They are used in applications where there is no space for the head to protrude.
Screws differ from bolts because they mate with an internal thread into which they are tightened or released by turning with the appropriate driver.
A little nomenclature caveat is in order here. Lots of folks call any threaded fastener larger than about 1/4-inch in diameter a "bolt." While that's not technically correct, I won't split hairs here about the absolute technical definition; instead, from this point on, let's just assume bolts can sometimes be inserted directly into threaded holes, and screws can be used with nuts. Even though that's not the usual scheme of things, I think you get the idea.
Screws vary widely in design, size, and purpose. Hex cap screws are frequently found throughout automobile construction and are frequently considered the same as bolts (in actuality, cylinder head bolts are really hex cap screws). Screws are found with hex socket caps, Torx socket caps, and even slotted and Phillips heads. There are wood screws, sheetmetal screws, self-tapping screws, and many, many others. Other than those used to hold engines, transmissions, and drive gear together, the most commonly found screws on automobiles are selftapping and trim screws.
Machine screws are used for the assembly of metal parts, so virtually every one of these on a car-and most other metal machinery-is a machine screw.
Studs are rods that are threaded on either one or both ends, and the thread type is often different on opposing ends. The most common studs found on automobile and other engines are on the intake and exhaust manifolds.

Lighting often gets overlooked as part of Halloween decor. Although the front porch might be decked out with an impressive display of jack-o-lanterns and illuminated skeletons, the inside of the home uses the same old torchieres and lamps as it does on every holiday. To add that extra touch of fright that makes your party one that guests will always remember, use sculptural lighting that both entertains and captures the Halloween spirit.
The Grim Reaper Illuminated Wall Sculpture will provide light for a dark hallway in the grimmest of fashions! With wicked, toothy grin, this detailed hooded skeleton will provide your guests with the most foreboding of welcomes. The ball of light in its hands lends illumination for guests while bathing the Reaper in an eerie glow!
On another wall in need of lighting, instead of setting up a boring lamp, put up "Merciless", the Gargoyle Lighted Wall Sculpture. With ball of light in his clawed, vile hands, this most disturbing of gargoyle figurines looks like he probably prefers the dark. Whether due to the light or the presence of so many guests, he doesn't seem the slightest bit happy! His mouth is open in a snarl, his eyes are livid with rage, and the veins stand out on his muscled arms as he tenses before striking out.

text: IMO, not having WWE title match in a PPV is not quite a good idea. I was expecting that the traditional Survivor Sreies match would be Team Cena vs Team Ziggler, and Ryback would get rematch after the dirty finish at HIAC. Now that there won't be a WWE Title match, I wonder how they'll fit Cena in the cards as he's not in the 5-on-5 match as well. A match against Ziggler, maybe ?

Hopefully neither wrestler will duck the other and they'll wrestle tonight at the PSU at Pitt dual. Who do you think wins? They wrestled in the all-star classic and Wilps was up 11-9 when he pinned Wright. Do you think it will be high scoring or low scoring?
I'm picking Wright 5-4. I don't think it will be as high scoring, as the first time Wright was trying all kinds of things that I don't think he'll do this time. Should be a great bout!

Ehh... I'd have to really disagree with that statement. Aren't the royal finances grossly underreported? And even if they aren't underreported, doesn't the British monarchy itself report that it costs around £40 million to maintain?! Is that yearly?! If so, our President isn't even worth close to that amount of money. However, if you guys are happy financing their privileged lifestyle and lavish travels to "sell" your country, then so be it.
I think most Americans aren't happy with the compensation our government officials receive. Many of us would like to change that. We would love to eliminate wasteful spending and all the "hands in the cookie jar." The somewhat silver lining is that we aren't stuck with them for a lifetime. We get to vote them in or out and impeach them if necessary. It doesn't weed out all of the underqualified elected officials, but I think it's great to have that option.
Listen, I'm happy for any healthy baby to be born to two loving parents, but I realize that this baby is being born into a tax-funded life of privilege that he or she will never have to earn. That would make me mad to finance that privileged life, but luckily it doesn't directly affect my wallets. Each addition to that family should be looked at as extra tax money to dish out.
