But now Max George has made his first public appearance since the breakup, during a performance with The Wanted, and he was grinning from ear to ear.
Max George seemed carefree during the performance. Copyright [Getty]We hope he was just putting on a brave face, but if we were Michelle we'd be pretty annoyed at the fact he's not currently sitting in a darkened room sobbing into a pillow. Too much?
The pair officially called time on their relationship over the weekend, amid rumours that Max had had 'phone sex' with an ex girlfriend.
The couple announced their split over the weekend. Copyright [Getty]Neither Max or Michelle has spoken out about the situation, but both have appeared to laugh their way through the split.
Yesterday, Michelle tweeted funny photos of her and her Coronation Street co-star Samia Ghadie pulling silly faces in a photobooth.
Whatever may be going on behind the scenes, we're glad that Michelle and Max are able to put on brave faces and have a laugh.

Danny Glover and others featured in a documentary about a 98-year-old Asian-American activist are protesting the film's screening at a Tel Aviv film festival.
In a statement released Monday, participants in "American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs," including Boggs, said they "formally stand with the people of Palestine," support the call for a cultural and an academic boycott of Israel, and were "shocked" to find the film slated for inclusion at the Doc Aviv festival this week.
Boggs, a philosopher and writer who has been involved in left-wing American social movements, "has explicitly stated her support of the boycott and believes this screening is in direct contradiction to her legacy and ongoing work as a revolutionary," the statement continued.
The producers posted the statement on the film's website, but prefaced it by saying they had been "unaware that playing in the festival would be an issue for the participants of the film. We respect their position and regret the discomfort this has caused for them."

Toni Braxton's Lupus Leads To Hospitalization
Toni Braxton was hospitalized due to Lupus complications this past Friday in Los Angeles. The R&B singer took to her Twitter account to alert her fans, saying, "Hey guys, I'm in the hospital for health issues related to Lupus & Blood clots."
Braxton assured her fans, however, that the issue is not critical, "I will be home soon . . . Thanks for all the love & support."
Two years ago Braxton revealed that she been diagnosed with the autoimmune disease. Previous hospitalizations stemming from the condition include a flare-up last January.
The disease runs in the 45-year-old's family: her uncle died from complications relating to the disease, and her brother has also been diagnosed with it.
Besides the effects on her health, Toni said in a recent 20/20 interview that the disease helped precipitate her bankruptcy.

Three Pakistani Men Plead Guilty to Terror Charges
by IPT News • Sep 13, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Three Pakistani men pleaded guilty Monday to terrorism-related charges of supporting the Pakistani Taliban, according to a release from the U.S. Justice Department. At a hearing before U.S. District Judge John Bates in the District of Columbia, Irfan Ul Haq, Qasim Ali, and Zahid Yousaf pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to provide material support to the Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP), a designated foreign terrorist organization.
Ul Haq, Ali, and Yousaf were arrested in Miami on March 13 and charged with one count of conspiracy to commit alien smuggling. The three men allegedly ran an alien smuggling operation out of Quito, Ecuador. As part of an undercover operation, federal agents directed confidential sources to ask the men to smuggle a fictitious person tied to the TTP from Pakistan into the United States. According to the DOJ press release, the defendants agreed to smuggle this person despite being fully aware of his purported affiliation with the TTP.
"These defendants sought to smuggle someone they believed to be a member of a terrorist organization from halfway around the world into the United States," said Assistant U.S. Attorney General Lanny Breuer.
The defendants allegedly told the confidential sources that it was "not their concern" what the men "want to do in the United States—hard labor, sweep floor, wash dishes in a hotel, or blow up. That will be up to them," the DOJ press release said.
The defendants also accepted payment from the confidential sources for the smuggling operation and obtained a false Pakistani passport for the fictitious TTP operative.
The investigation was carried out by the Homeland Security attaché office in Quito with the FBI and the Ecuadorian National Police.
The sentencing has been scheduled for December and each defendant faces a maximum of 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
A separate case in South Florida also alleges material support to the Pakistani Taliban by an imam in one of the city's oldest mosques and his family.

Environmental Justice Goal 2
Environmental Justice Strategic Plan - 1995
Goal 2.
The Department will provide its employees environmental justice guidance and with the help of minority and low-income communities develop training which will reduce their exposure to environmental health and safety hazards.
What We Are Doing:
Issued to the IWG copies of video, "Federal Indian Trust Responsibility on December 12, 1994. Additional copies may be obtained from the Office of American Indian Trust. Also issued was a map entitled, "Indian Land Areas". Additional copies may be obtained from BIA, Public Affairs Office. Issue guidance on special government-to-government relationship when seeking solutions for the varied environmental issues that involve Tribes. Any tribal environmental justice directives will assure application of Federal Indian Policy, as reinforced by executive memoranda dated April 29, 1994, which requires the federal government to: 1) pursue the principle of Indian "self-determination", 2) work directly with Tribal governments on a government-to-government basis and 3) to consult with Tribes. Federally recognized Indian tribes are distinct political entities, capable of managing their own affairs and governing themselves. As such, the Department recognizes federally recognized American Indian tribes as providers of environmental justice to members and persons who are subject to their jurisdiction. Upon the request of a tribal government, the Department provides assistance. (An example is the judicial systems/processes guidance provided through the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Judicial Services program.)
Environmental Justice guidance is given through an Instruction Memorandum entitled "Policy of Promoting Environmental Justice in Public Lands Decisions", and an Information Bulletin entitled "Strategic Plan for Environmental Justice". The BLM has also drafted a handbook on American Indian consultation. The handbook is a joint product of an agreement between the BLM and the National Indian Justice Center on improving communications between the Bureau and tribes and improving tribal access to BLM processes.
Since the mid-1980's, the BLM has made a special and increasing effort to avoid authorizing high risk activities on the public lands. Some activities, such as new sanitary landfill authorizations, have been banned entirely; others, such as non-emergency aerial spraying of pesticides, have been virtually eliminated. The effects of land purchases, BLM waste disposal and prescribed burning, as examples, and most other activities are carefully analyzed for environmental and health risks in advance. BLM is working with the Department of Defense to reduce risks from former military uses. The BLM responds rapidly to unpredictable incidents such as illegal toxic waste dumping, transportation accidents involving chemicals, wildfires, oil spills, and others.
The BLM State Offices send employees to dispute resolution training in a broad range of centers, institutes, colleges and universities. Several BLM employees are nationally known for their mediation skills in natural resource based conflicts and provide assistance to other DOI agencies and to Indian tribes.
The Office of Surface Mining is developing a strategic plan devoted exclusively to its environmental justice activities. This strategy will provide employees with the Agency's policy and procedures for effectively addressing legitimate environmental justice issues. Further, in the Agency's continuing outreach efforts with the citizens of the coalfields, our employees will become more aware of and familiar with the specific problems associated with the members of the affected communities.
All Reclamation projects, regardless of whom they affect, contain mitigation for any environmental impacts. No distinction is made for any particular group, except under the Indian trust asset policy. Guidance criteria include general regulations such as the National Environmental Policy Act Handbook and the newly issued Indian trust asset policy and implementing procedures. Rules directed against discrimination by race, religion, and so forth are established through federal as well as Reclamation guidelines, and laws. Some programs and activities which target minority communities are described below:
1. Public Law 93-638 Reclamation enters into Indian Self-Determination, Education and Assistance Act ("638") contracts with tribes under this program. Under this program, tribes assume responsibility for programs and projects and thereby "side-step" many of the bureaucratic and social hurdles that created environmental justice problems. Reclamation has provided training to its employees to deal more effectively with contracts related to this law.
2. Water Systems O&M Workshops for Indian tribes These workshops make available expertise similar to that at the annual Water Systems O&M Workshop held in Denver with three notable exceptions. The workshops are held at no cost to the benefitting Tribe. Second, these workshops are brought to the tribes rather than vice-versa, allowing a greater and more diversified attendance. Third, specialty workshops have been held on several subjects including: irrigation system O&M, damtenders' training, municipal and industrial water systems, and procedures for high-scaling.
3. Engineering technical assistance Under a Memorandum of Understanding executed in 1993 between Reclamation and the Navajo Nation, Reclamation established a full-time General Engineering position to work with the Navajo Nation to provide technical assistance concerning rehabilitation of the entire Navajo Nation's irrigation system and to assist in establishing an irrigation office.
4. Native American Cultural Awareness Workshop These workshops are put on to educate Reclamation staff about key concepts concerning American Indians and to increase awareness of barriers that have sometimes interfered with interactions between Reclamation officials and American Indians.
5. Technician Training Programs Reclamation participates in these programs designed to provide water resources training for young Native Americans, many of whom eventually work for the tribes in such areas as water quality monitoring.
6. Memorandums of Understanding with Universities, Institutions and Councils Reclamation has entered into agreements in support of an Indian Legal Program and education of the Indian people in water law and management of cultural and natural resources. The College Bound Math and Science Enrichment Program is designed to increase the number of American Indian and Alaska Natives who graduate from high school with an emphasis in math and science necessary to complete engineering, science, and technology undergraduate and graduate programs.
Through the FWS's Office of Training Education (OTE), a variety of training courses are offered to Service managers that include elements of conflict resolution and deal specifically with inter-cultural and minority conflicts.
In June 1994, the FWS released its Native American Policy. The purpose of that policy is to articulate general principles to guide the FWS's government-to-government relationship with American Indian and Alaska Native governments in the conservation of fish and wildlife resources. It is a partnership approach with American Indian governments that respects and utilizes the traditional knowledge, experience, and perspectives of American Indians in managing fish and wildlife resources.
The NPS has used alternative dispute resolution (ADR) policy instructions in a variety of situations not only in conflicts with minority and low income populations and Indian Tribal governments, but with affected publics in conflict situations. Awareness of ADR use is provided in training programs concerning environmental law, policy, and evaluation.
The NPS has drafted a special directive concerning the incorporation of environmental justice in environmental analysis. The directive is in response to Executive Order 12898. The draft directive stresses the importance of public participation with affected minority and low income communities with respect to environmental decision making, instructing NPS staff to analyze the environmental effects, including human health and socioeconomic, of NPS actions. All actions should be examined that may have an effect on minority or low income communities, regardless of whether the effect is from a direct, indirect, cumulative or sponsored action. Once finalized, this directive will be distributed throughout NPS to orient Washington, Regional, and Park staff with environmental justice concerns within the NPS.
The National Capital Region (NCR) of NPS provides a good example of a region of NPS that has a high degree of environmental justice concerns because of the location of the parks in an urban area with adjacent minority communities. In particular, the National Capital Region East has areas which are exposed to hazardous material, especially on NPS land along the Anacostia River, which is cited as one of the most polluted rivers in an urban area. NCR is taking definite steps to educate its staff regarding the enforcement of environmental statutes in these minority areas in order to be able to identify and punish pollution control violators and clean up the damaged areas.
In addition, the NPS has outreach programs to educate the public on the mission of the Park Service and related activities. These outreach programs are an effective means of educating minority and low income persons, in particular those living adjacent to urban parks, about environmental and conservation issues. Presently, NPS is working on compiling an inventory of educational outreach programs. This inventory will then be disseminated, preferably through the Internet, so that communities have access to knowing the programs/courses that NPS runs and can get involved in the mission of the Park Service.
The approval process for BIA activities are tightly governed by technical standards and guidelines designed to prevent such harm. As an example, the environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Campo solid waste project required design standards that exceeded both Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State of California standards. Also, approval of restricted use pesticides is controlled by EPA regulations and DOI review committees, and the pesticides are applied by certified applicators. Tribes generally have veto power over BIA actions on the reservations.
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE)
The BOEMRE has provided many of its employees with training in basic environmental conflict management techniques. This was accomplished at a series of recent regional workshops conducted by a consulting firm under contract to the BOEMRE.
Goal 2. -- What We Can Do
Strategies on what we can do:
A. Departmental policy regarding environmental justice will be developed, coordinated and disseminated in the following areas:
1. Publish guidance reflecting the latest scientific information available regarding methods for evaluating the human health risks associated with the consumption of pollutant-bearing fish or wildlife.
2. Review and update for agency contract officers and applicants materials on minority contractor processes about the evolving area of environmental justice. This will be in conjunction with the Interagency Working Group Outreach Task Force effort.
3. Issue guidance, following Department of Justice direction, on application of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to environmental justice issues.
4. Establish a working group and a calendar to alert groups on environmental justice issues.
B. Guidance on environmental justice and the American Indian and Alaska Natives will be the basis of consultation with tribes and incorporate the issues and recommendations identified at the 1994 American Indian Listening Conference.
DOI-Office of Environmental Justice will distribute to Interior's offices EPA's report, "Environmental Attitudes and Behaviors of American Youth" by March 1995.
Progress Measurement - DOI-Office of Environmental Justice will coordinate with EPA to publish the President's and Secretary's policy and mission statements on Environmental Justice via a one-page newsletter or talking paper. On a regular basis, publish Environmental Justice successes and concerns.
Progress Measurement - Explore provision of universal sign symbols to designate dangers at hazardous materials and other sites on Department and Bureau land located in or adjacent to minority and/or American Indian communities or lands by December 1995.
Progress Measurement - DOI-Office of Environmental Justice will distribute final recommendations of the Native American Task Force on Environmental Justice with the products provided as the Tribal Leaders Directory and the Native American Organizations by February 1995. These documents will commence the consultation process with the tribes to build American Indian and Alaska Native guidance.

The Lean Startup Method advises entrepreneurs to test, test, test the demand for a product before actually building it. Often, entrepreneurs struggle with ways to test business ideas without actually building a business.
How many customer interviews are enough to quantify demand? Are there better ways to test ideas at scale? Last week, I tested a new line of business before writing a single line of code and learned an invaluable lesson…here's how:
Recently, we had an idea for a new revenue stream at matchist. Our main value proposition is finding great developers for projects then helping facilitate payment through an escrow based payment system. Some of our developers had been asking about using our payment system with clients outside of matchist. They loved the ability to split projects by milestone and secure payment before spending hours working.
We thought, "Hey, our customers are telling us something. Perhaps we should build a separate payment tool for freelancers." We looked into the viability of the product briefly (there are fraud concerns but if the market was hot enough, we could invest the resources into mitigating risk). Now, being followers of Lean methodology, we decided to craft a test to see whether demand was there, or whether our clients' requests were just few and far in between.
We decided to build a landing page and see how many signups we could get within a 24 hour period. We would promote the "new product" on Hacker News, an active global community of developers. The Hacker News community would represent a good portion of our target market, so the response could be seen as valid.
In order to launch a fully optimized landing page, we looked at what our friends at Unbounce would recommend. Here's what it looked like.
At the very bottom we put pricing options and asked for an email upon signup. It was that simple.
We launched our offering to the HN community and were lucky to hit the front page (a rare feat ensuring lots of traffic) within a few hours. We got a LOT of comments about the page (you can see them here).
People complained about the stock image, the color choice, and the fact that we didn't have more info regarding our product (a deliberate choice).
Here's what Google Google Analytics looked like that day:
We had a total of 2,000 highly targeted visitors to that page in about a 24 hour window. Now the most important question to be answered here is: How many people actually signed up for the product?
The answer: 2. Well, only 1 actually. The other was a fake address. Good old: email@example.com.
What did we learn?
Rather than spending weeks if not months building out our idea for the next big thing (payments for freelancers!) we conducted a simple test to test the market for demand. When only 1 person signs up out of 2000 qualified visitors to a highly optimized landing page, your conversion rate is 0.0005% and that only means one thing: it's not a good business idea to pursue.
There are a lot of caveats here: with the proper marketing the idea may take off, or perhaps with more education provided to consumers they'll see how great of an idea it is. The thing is, I run a startup which is defined as a company with limited time and resources. I could've wasted months on this idea, or I could've spend a total of 1 day testing the market first.

Led by Greg Kneser, Vice President of Student Life
June 14–20, 2015
$950 per person (see inclusions below)
We are blessed to have the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in our backyard (well, if not our backyard, then just beyond the neighbors). It lies entirely within Superior National Forest and is the most visited wilderness area in the United States, for good reason. The boundless beauty and tranquility are uplifting and refreshing.
Join us on an Ole adventure in the BWCA. We'll start with a visit to the Chik-Wauk Museum and Nature Center at Seagull Lake, which tells the story of the Gunflint Trail, before having a group dinner at Gunflint Lodge and overnighting at Hungry Jack Outfitters in Grand Marais for our entry into the wilderness area. We will also be fully equipped by Hungry Jack Outfitters, an Ole-owned enterprise.
We'll paddle from lake to river to lake again, and disembark as necessary to use the portage trails between bodies of water. This vast area has changed little in the 10,000 years since the glaciers receded. In this serene setting we are likely to spy loons, moose, bald eagles, deer, otters and more, and we will, of course, hang our food high to avoid sharing space with bears.
As Marshall McLuhan said, "There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew." This program is an adventure of the body, as well as the mind and spirit. You must be physically fit enough to carry gear on the portages, including large backpacks and, with your rowing partner, the canoe. Also, everyone in the group will share chores like cooking and camp maintenance.
After we exit the BWCA and before we return to campus, we'll visit the North House Folk School, a key partner with St. Olaf volunteers in imagining, designing and constructing the Memorial Chime Tower on the St. Olaf campus. Later, they played a critical role in the rebuilding of the Flaten Art Barn, again, by St. Olaf volunteers and partners. Both timber frame structures were fashioned on the North House campus on the harbor in Grand Marais, with the assistance of North House instructors and staff. Read more about North House at http://www.northhouse.org/.
This unique Study Travel has no deliberate educational theme, but is an opportunity to gather with fellow Oles – official and honorary alike – and share time together in an area of natural beauty.
Program Leader
Greg Kneser is the Vice President for Student Life at St. Olaf. He has traveled extensively with students on domestic service trips,. including New Orleans, Nashville, Mississippi and Chicago. He has assisted with St. Olaf Interim courses in London and Nicaragua and is excited about learning along with the group on this excursion in the beautiful Boundary Waters. Greg often describes himself as a "wanderer," and has worked with students to look beyond the obvious when traveling or serving abroad, connecting their experience of the day with their lives back on campus at St. Olaf. Greg will lead his first Study Travel program on the Danube in April 2015. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Greg has spent the last 25 years at St. Olaf, mostly beside his wife, Sandy Kimmes '89, and their teenage children, Amelia and Wylie.
What to Expect
Expect an adventure, as advertised! You will be active in the most positive way and immersed in nature's bounty every day.
This program requires that you be physically fit and able to paddle, walk, and carry belongings for many hours a day. All participants will be expected to pitch in with tasks such as setting up camp, making meals, and repacking your own and group equipment.
The weather in mid-June in northern Minnesota should be beautiful, but can be hard to predict. Average temperatures for this time of year are a high around 67º Fahrenheit, low around 48 F, and rainfall of 3.7 inches for the month.
Program Fee
$950 per person, completely outfitted (inclusions listed below). Deduct $30 to bring your own sleeping bag and an additional $30 to bring your own tent. Roundtrip transportation between St. Olaf and the BWCA is included. Transportation to St. Olaf at the beginning of the program is not included. A $500 per person deposit is due upon registration, and is fully refundable until May 15, 2015, when final payment is due.

Dancing With The Stars
Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Our DWTS All-Stars Jive Was Better Than Our Season 12 Jive
When you're only competing against yourself, the bar can be wherever you put it.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy previously told Access Hollywood that all the other Dancing With the Stars All-Stars couples are so good they'll blend together, but he and Kirstie Alley will stand out because they are "different." Kirstie said that's what parents tell children when they are criminals or untalented — it's not because they're not "bad," they're just "different."
Granted, Maks got a bit irritated when looking at the judges' leaderboard on Week 2 — where he and Kirstie are listed second from the bottom, just above Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas. But Maks told On the Red Carpet he disagrees with the judges a majority of the time, which even he admits has been "well documented."
Maks told OTRC about his epiphany — that he and Kirstie aren't really competing against anyone else. They stand alone, just doing their own thing, which is to try and improve on what they did back on Season 12. They both agree that their Week 7 Jive from Season 12 "sucked."
"My Jive this season was so much better than my Jive last season," Kirstie said. Maks added, "Last time, Jive? Jive sucked. You're supposed to say 'It was great.' No it sucked!" Kirstie agreed. "Yeah! No, I know it sucked."
This time they both thought it was better. So it doesn't matter to them that they got a score of 21 out of 30. As long as they improved, that's what matters. Now they are looking forward to dances like the Rumba, because that's when they had their Season 12 fall, and the Waltz, because that's when she lost her shoe in ShoeGate. So, if they make it long enough in this competition, they have a lot of fixing to do!
Catch a new episode of Dancing With the Stars Season 15: All-Stars on Tuesday, October 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Fewer fatal aircraft accidents occurred in 2009 than in 2008, but they caused a higher number of deaths, according to figures released by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
In total, there were 18 fatal aircraft accidents last year, down from 23 in 2008. However, the number of aircraft accident-related fatalities rose by 183 to 685.
"Every fatality is a human tragedy that reminds us of the ultimate goal of zero accidents and zero fatalities," says Giovanni Bisignani, IATA's director general.
Runway excursions were deemed the main cause of all aircraft accidents, occurring in 25% of them, while pilot error was considered a contributory factor in 30% of accidents.
Last year's accident rate for Western-built aircraft was the second-lowest on record, at 0.71 hull losses per million flights.
By region, Africa again posted the poorest safety record, with an accident rate of 9.94 hull losses per million flights of western-built aircraft.
North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, the CIS states and Europe all posted accident rates below the global average.

The Voice's Adam Levine vs. Blake Shelton: Who Would Win in a Battle of the Judges?
For the last three weeks, the four celebrity judges of The Voice have pitted some of our favorite contestants against one another to battle to the death … or to the live shows.
Well, now it's payback time.
Though Adam Levine and Blake Shelton just appeared on the cover of People Magazine boasting their strong friendship, what would happen if they had to battle each other on The Voice?
Would Blake's country twang and propensity to perform drunk (hey, he said it!) help or hurt his chances?
Would Adam resort to stripping off his shirt to lock in the female vote?
It's your turn to be the judge! Who would win in a battle round between Adam Levine and Blake Shelton?

Re: new build in werribee
HI guys
not much progress waiting on some bull nose bricks the same as my house that I stumbled upon. fluke purchase but been waiting for 3 weeks I pass these bloody bricks everyday as I visit clients damn frustrating.
In the interim a mate had 3 gum trees chopped down see photos below collect this weekend damn weather going to be mid 30's will need 4 loads of a 2 metre truck.
Damn ran out of render am using high build and will build up to 40mm currently around 20mm another layer of chicken wire. will complete unfinished layer this weekend and wrap in another layer of chicken wire then 2 more 10mm coats. Tried doing it 40mm in one hit decided against this approach.
Cheers Colin

Re: new build in werribee
question about arch placement - picture in post #191 on pg 20 and picture in post #212 pg 22 looks like the arch is in the same place to me. #191 was before the "help, the dome template doesn't reach and Sharkey's green arrow, yellow arc, red line, pink line" stuff and #212 was after the Apothem calculation of 434mm. Did you actually move the inner arch form closer to the center of the oven - to what dimension? If yes, what did you do to the floor to adjust for the movement? Did you leave the arch at the place where your arch opening makes a chord on the circle and just push the TDC brick to meet the dome template and deal with the small open triangle that is formed?
I have a paper template with cardboard inner arch and cardboard dome arch sitting in my living room. 36" dia oven, 19" wide arch opening, 12" inner height of arch (of opening). so my apothem is 15.28". When I put the arch at 15 1/4" from the center, the dome arch template misses the top center of the inner arch by about 1.5". I calculated the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed with the base leg of 15.28" (apothem) and the vertical leg (arch opening) as 12" - the result is 19.42". My oven radius is 18" - so the difference is 1.4" - almost the 1 1/2" I measured with my cardboard templates.
It seems that my arch needs to be moved toward the center of the oven to where the diagonal is 18" and the arch height is 12". Calculating that number says my inner arch needs to be 13.4" from the center of the oven, or moved 1.88 inches closer to the center of the oven. That makes my oven cooking area smaller, but my main concern is the transition from the circle shape of the oven floor to the inner arch. The first brick on each side of the arch will either need to be cut match the oven dome curve (approx 3" cut off the side toward the inside of the oven and approx 2" cut off the side you can see in the inside opening of the inner arch). or I will have about a 3" flat spot where the dome curve meets the first arch brick and the arch brick is parallel to the oven opening. Another concern is if I use 4.5" bricks to make the arch 4.5" deep, the outside curvature of my dome looks like it will just meet the outside corner of the bottom arch brick and there will be no arch protruding from the dome, like yours.
How deep are your arch bricks? How much does your arch protrude or stick out from the outside of your dome?
Thanks for your (and anyone else that can chime in!) help!
Re: new build in werribee
I am assuming your goal is to do a tapered inner arch. I have attached a pic showing how you can use an IT to help with the placement of the arch. You will also need to use bricks that are longer than 4.5 (or half bricks) in order to accomplish the inner taper and protrude off the front. Start with a whole brick. The tapered arch concept is a little abstract and hard to visualize but worth the effort. I have several pics on my picassa album to help you. Also check our GianniFoccacia's thread for additional info on tapered arches.
Re: new build in werribee
yes, planning on doing the tapered inner arch. Thanks. The additional pictures were helpful as well as knowing that you use a longer brick.
Re: new build in werribee
The TDC brick in my hemispherical arch was 5.5" deep. This was to provide for the 1" extension off the front of the dome.
I believe Colin's deeper TDC brick was to avoid an oval oven shape and dreaded droop.
Re: new build in werribee
The second image above is only a thumbnail. I recognised it as my oven so I'll post the pick.
You can see the TDC brick is much more than a half brick. I think this was because my arch extends out from the dome a bit and also because my arch is not a semi-circle. You can measure all the distances and angles with your I.T.
I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Re: new build in werribee
Hi Texas
Follow the comments of those that responded above. They have provided the best feedback to my build and assistance throughout, to my build. The inner arch is not that complex. Create a circle, work out the front arch width.
Use your IT to determine the distance inside the oven.
I didn't move anything thanks to Sharkey's feedback. although I had comments to the contrary. Sharkey was the one that set me straight due to the fact my dome height was lower than a true hemisphere. I had triangle that I could not work out but cut the bricks according to the IT and maintained a true circle with absolutely no droop. My entry arch is almost a full in length brick.
Texas the 3 people that responded above have done some of the best builds on this site. Follow there lead and you cannot go wrong. That's what I did. In My thread I have tired to make it as detailed as I possibly could, so most aspects are covered in my thread. I also wish to say I have no cracks appearing to this point in the build what so ever and I have been using the oven for over a month now. I used a method in curing I had discussed with cobbblerdave around tempering the oven and have had it up to 650c in this process.
I stayed true to brick bond, and was meticulous in my cutting to maintain a brick to brick fit. I personally saw this as an imperative for me. The keystone for instance is a tight fit cut from a mould I made using plaster of paris and fits exactly.
My arch is around 2.5 inches outside the dome and almost a full brick deep [210mm].
My outer landing wraps around the entry arch [rebated] but is completely insulated and separate from the dome.
My simple advice is just follow your IT. Cut TDC brick first work back from there. I wanted enough depth on my entry arch as I saw this as a weak point hence going for an almost full brick.

Re: new build in werribee
Hi had guests last night.
Did 2 gourmet pizzas for entree, my spicy Moroccan lamb roasted sweet potatoes and roasted pine nuts, and tandoori chicken with mango chutney sliver almonds and my signature seafood paella done in the oven for first time.
Was to die for much better than stove top.

Re: new build in werribee
That paella looks great. I'm not a great paella chef by any means but I have cooked it on a stove top before. It's one of those recipes though that I'm grateful that I don't muck it up. How does it translate to the WFO?
I'm always over cooking the rice cause I'm afraid of undercooking it. There are so many elements in paella that require differing times. Definitely a recipes that I cook for the child bride ( she just loves everything I cook) I don't ever cook it for guests, just to much can go wrong.

Re: new build in werribee
When Ive done it in the oven (regular) ,Ive dried out the mussels.
You have to add them early as their juices are a massive part of the flavour the rice soaks up.
Its a real balancing act.

Compensation is available to help farmers meet the costs of disposing of animals lost due to the current severe weather.
The Scottish Government has made available £500,000 to help meet costs incurred.
Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead said: 'The severe weather parts of Scotland have been experiencing just now has been making life extremely difficult for our hard-working farmers as they battle against the unseasonal conditions.
'Tragically, many will have incurred significant losses though the number of dead animals will not be known until the snow has thawed.
'I know this is deeply distressing for farmers to see so many animals suffering and dying, particularly during the lambing season which is normally a season of birth not death.
'These farmers will undoubtedly incur additional costs for farmers to dispose of the carcases which is why we have made support available.
'We are determined to provide what help and support we can and we will continue to assess what is needed in coming days and weeks.
'In the short-term, our staff will remain available throughout the Easter weekend to offer help and advice and can be contacted on 0300 244 9340.'
Details of the scheme are still being finalised but it will work on similar principles to 2010. The amount payable per animal will depend on the number of casualties.
To take advantage of the compensation scheme farmers need to be members of the Fallen Stock Company and have their animals collected by a firm which is also a member.

Carpenter Gothic, also sometimes called Carpenter's Gothic, and Rural Gothic, is a North American architectural style-designation for an application of Gothic Revival architectural detailing and picturesque massing applied to wooden structures built by house-carpenters. The abundance of North American timber and the carpenter-built vernacular architectures based upon it made a picturesque improvisation upon Gothic a natural evolution. Carpenter Gothic improvises upon features that were carved in stone in authentic Gothic architecture, whether original or in more scholarly revival styles; however, in the absence of the restraining influence of genuine Gothic structures, the style was freed to improvise and emphasize charm and quaintness rather than fidelity to received models. The genre received its impetus from the publication by Alexander Jackson Davis, Rural Residences and from detailed plans and elevations in publications by Andrew Jackson Downing.
Carpenter Gothic houses and small churches became common in North America in the late nineteenth century. These structures adapted Gothic elements such as pointed arches, steep gables, and towers to traditional American light-frame construction. The invention of the scroll saw and mass-produced wood moldings allowed a few of these structures to mimic the florid fenestration of the High Gothic. But in most cases, Carpenter Gothic buildings were relatively unadorned, retaining only the basic elements of pointed-arch windows and steep gables. Probably the best known example of Carpenter Gothic is the house in Eldon, Iowa, that Grant Wood used for the background of his famous painting American Gothic.
Carpenter Gothic structures are typically found in most parts of the U.S., and in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces in Canada. In British Columbia, the remarkable Church of the Holy Cross, Skatin is a Canadian national historic site. A campaign is underway to restore it to its former glory. Also in British Columbia is the Church of Our Lord, built in 1874 in Victoria.
St. Luke's, Cahaba, Alabama has had an interesting history of moves. In 1876, due to the danger of flooding in Cahaba, it was dismantled and moved from its original location 25 miles or so to Browns where it was reassembled. In 2006-2007, it was carefully dismantled by students from Auburn University and moved back to Cahaba, where it is now being reassembled by the students on the Cahaba State Historic Site not too far from its original location.

Border House at Crystal Bay Rating: 3.5 Pearls
The Border House at Crystal Bay is a boutique 10-room hotel attached to a small casino. The rather plain exterior of the hotel gives way to spacious, somewhat luxurious rooms -- the decor features a mix of stylish modern furnishings and more ornate traditional elements, but with stone-clad floor-to-ceiling fireplace hearths and ceilings painted the same color as the walls, rooms can feel a bit cave-like. The gas fireplaces are nice elements though, especially during chilly winter months, as are the large flat-screen TVs and huge chromotherapy tubs. The restaurant and lounge are popular spots, as is the professional stage that hosts many well-known bands throughout the year. Perhaps because of that (and the casino, of course) this hotel is more about the nightlife -- those wanting a pool or outdoor-centric activities, including ski-in/ski-out access, should look elsewhere.
Olympic Village Inn Rating: 3.0 Pearls
The Olympic Village Inn was built to house athletes during the 1960 winter games held in Squaw Valley and became the first "large" hotel in the area. But at 90 rooms, it still has a cozy, boutique feel. The rooms were last updated in the 1980s, but a charming Tyrolean exterior, beautiful grounds, and location near the slopes offset the kitschy decor. Balconies and kitchenettes add convenience and the price point is lower than at most other Squaw Valley resorts. Plus, guests will have the novelty factor of saying they stayed in a true Olympics resort.
Franciscan Lakeside Lodge Rating: 3.0 Pearls
Located on the shores of Lake Tahoe, the mid-range Franciscan Lakeside Lodge features cozy cottages and rooms in a woodsy, lakefront setting. While some rooms are tucked across the street from the lake in a darker, tree-covered area, the lakefront cottages have excellent views and open to the sandy beach and a private pier where guests can swim and play in privacy. Kitchenettes make dining in (and saving money) easy. And the heated outdoor pool (open seasonally) is said to be the largest in North Lake Tahoe.

Everything I Need to Know about Designing Tiny Houses I Learned from Cleaning Them

text: The Aht wiki last edited by Mento on 11/01/13 02:28PM View full history Role in Radiant Historia's StoryAht is a young, rambunctious Satyros that Stocke rescues from a wild monster encounter on the Gran Plains, along with her troupe of travelling Satyros performers. Instantly smitten with the reticent agent, Aht becomes very curious about Stocke and asks him all sorts of questions. As they travel together to Granorg, Aht's true nature as a shaman-in-training becomes apparent, as do her prestigious magical skills in combat. Due to her age, Stocke often tries to convince her to stay behind where she can be safe before setting out on a dangerous journey, but she usually finds a way to force herself into Stocke's group regardless.In the Alternate Timeline, Aht is already in shaman training in the Satyros village of Celestia and is referred to respectfully as Lady Aht. When Stocke meets her for the first time in this timeline, her affection for Stocke carries over from the Standard Timeline and she decides to resume her role in his group.Aht's otherworldly abilities as a fledgling shaman of the Satyros people gives her keen insight into the spiritual well-being (or "mana") of all living things. This even extends to her being able to perceive Lippti's and Teo's presences whenever they pause time to talk to Stocke through Historia. Because she cares deeply for Stocke, she refuses to tell him what she knows about his true nature and potential fate as Eruca's "Sacrifice". A chance meeting with the previous Satyros shaman - who also abandoned her duties out of love - puts her back on the dutiful path.Alternative TimelineDuring the meeting with the previous shaman, it is possible for Aht to adopt the same impassioned attitude of her predecessor, and send Stocke to a "safe place" to wait out the rest of the desertification process instead of allowing him to be killed. This prevents Stocke from being used as a Sacrifice, but causes the world to end regardless and is one of the game's many "bad", or false endings. Role in CombatAht's biggest strengths in combat are her speed and her mines. Aht's mines are unique to her, and allow her to place a magical trap on the enemy's grid provided that space isn't already being taken up by an enemy. She lacks most of the skills required to move enemies around (besides the standard push, which she only receives at a very high level) so she's dependent on other characters like Stocke or Gafka to knock enemies into the traps she's made. The traps often cause an incredible amount of damage, however, due to Aht's high magic power stat.Aht's speed and multi-hit moves like Dancing Death also allow her to raise the party's combo meter very quickly, which can be instrumental in boss encounters. She is also one of two characters (along with Stocke) who can steal items from enemies, which is a quick and cheap way to earn curative items and occasionally recover special weapons and accessories.

OK I think I am close to figuring this out. I made a local account and started updating my settings one by one, no issues. As soon as I designed the test account as an "administrator" account it took an extra 10-15 seconds to boot up. Now the questions is why...
Just shooting in the dark here - did you install the Gigabyte utilities for your motherboard? These cause this issue in Windows 7.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
What gives GamerDNA?
This is going to be a barely palatable first post for the GamerDNA forums, but I am really angry about something.
After signing up and spending literally several hours creating my gamer profile by adding hundreds of titles, I checked my profile today to find it almost "combed" clean of half the titles I had added to my profile.
Why would I, or anybody else for that matter, go through all the trouble of dealing with a third party pseudo-facebook website devoted to representing gamers if after spending many hours creating a profile it will magically lose half of the added titles? Why were the titles removed from my profile? Who removed them? When?
I have no message from a moderator saying they had been removed, and I know they have been because after working as hard as I did on them I could view all of my games.
My anger towards this flaw in your system is even more accentuated because after flashing the "I'm an old, long-time gamer" card and giving a link to my profile it is pitiful to view (because it's missing over half the titles I had put in it).
All I can say is if I cannot rely on your software or your methods to store any kind of data than your services are not worthy of my use.
Please get back to me on this problem and explain it.
*Note to moderators: didn't see a technical support forum so I thought this place was as good as any.
Hai Bro Welcom
They probably weren't removed. I bet you put in a lot of obscure games. They don't start showing up until enough people have added them for the mods to make them official. I think that only takes 5 people or so, so you must have put on some really old games.

PREDICTING when the world's most dangerous volcanoes are about to erupt just got easier. It seems that one type of eruption can be triggered by heavy rain, so simply watching the weather forecast could help save lives.
The type of eruption in question is a "dome collapse". This is the most dangerous form of volcanic eruption, having caused more than 70 per cent of volcano-related deaths over the past century.
"They tend to be big, violent eruptions," says John Murray, a volcanologist at the Open University in Milton Keynes. The Mount St Helens eruption on 18 May 1980, for example, sent a cloud of 520 million tonnes of ash 25 kilometres into the air. Rock and debris fell to Earth up to 30 kilometres from the volcano.
The build-up to an eruption is often easy to see months or years ahead, as magma pushing from below produces a visible dome ...

Best Castle Season 4 Quotes From Episode 9: "Kill Shot"
The latest Castle did not disappoint. Even with catastrophe looming around every corner (a sniper shooting, Beckett's freaky flashbacks), the 12th precinct knew how to handle all the adversity: with a little dollop of good humor.
8. Gates: Ford's not our man.
Beckett: Are you sure?
Gates: I think I know how to check an alibi.
You don't get to the top of the precinct filing paperwork and fetching coffee. (Sorry, Castle!)
7. Beckett: Do you know what he has that most men don't have?
Castle: A Josh Groban CD?
... Or moobs?
6. Castle: We're gonna catch this guy.
Beckett: Yeah, like we caught the guy who shot me.
Beckett: the Eternal Optimist
5. Castle: I know what the paper dolls mean!
Gates: Mr. Castle, now is not the time for your theatrics.
He get it from his mama
4. Castle: Can I just say this school of yours is worth every penny?
Money well spent
3. Beckett: Roger has the most incredible ... resistance band.
Castle: ... Resistance band? Is that what I think it is?
Beckett [smirking]: ... It's for strength training. He's my physical therapist.
We see what she did there!
2. Castle: Somebody out there is just waking up not knowing they're about to be murder number three.
Alexis: I think I just decided to skip school today.
Bright girl, she is
1. Castle: Just looking for my partner. Pretty girl. Thinks she can leap tall buildings in a single bound, carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, yet still manages to laugh at some of my jokes.
Beckett: Sounds like a handful.
Especially that last part
