The Bachelorette
Is Courtney Robertson the Reason Ben Flajnik Didn't Give Shawntel Newton a Rose? Speculation!
We've been nursing our Bachelor Season 16, Episode 3 hangover by drinking down the gentle wisdom of Bachelor Nation's most sage residents. Remember the cute-but-quiet West Lee, who vied for Ashley Hebert's heart on The Bachelorette Season 7? Well, we think he's on to something, roselovers! He believes that Courtney Robertson's "speech" to Ben Flajnik during Episode 3's rose ceremony was the reason Ben didn't give Shawntel Newton a rose. Read this excerpt and let us know what you think:
"Only two people needed to be eliminated tonight, and I whole-heartedly agreed with Ben's choices to send Erika and Jaclyn home. They just seemed like a bad fit for him. He's a laid-back, low maintenance guy, and their hysterics at the rose ceremony only proved why I think they're weren't right for Ben. Fainting? Cursing at another girl before the rose is even handed out? Come on, ladies. You're better than that. I hope.
But there's just no legitimate explanation for choosing not to hand out that final rose and send Shawntel home. Sure, you can say there would've been a lot of drama if she'd stayed, and you can agree with Ben that it wasn't fair. But Shawntel was right when she said this wasn't about drama, or fairness. It's about love, and if Ben felt a connection with her he owed it to his heart to explore that connection.
So I call BS on the stated reasons for sending her home.
Instead, I call your attention to Courtney's little acceptance speech upon getting her rose. She made it clear that she wasn't pleased with how Ben conducted himself around 'what's-her-butt' and then thanked him for not putting her through 'that.' What could she have possibly meant with that? The night had already taken place; she had already gone through it. She was talking about not putting her through that going forward, as in 'don't you dare give that b!tch a rose, or we're gonna have problems, mister.' And my take is that Ben, already being seriously taken by Courtney, decided right then and there to cut his losses and send Shawntel packing.
So there you have it. Maybe you agree with me; maybe you don't. Maybe I'm right; maybe I'm wrong. But if it's true, and Courtney has that much influence on Ben's thinking already, maybe — as Bentley would say — we should just hit the reset button on this thing and start over."
We have to say, we think West hit the nail on the head! Read the rest of his blog for other great musings on the ep.

Time Quilts
2007, 10 sec. quicktime loops
Is a loop really the same each time around? This series explores static or ambient cinema by remixing iconographies from movie history in asynchronous and nested loops. Each hierarchical level of sound and image is under 10 seconds in length. I like to think of these as time quilts, stiched together textures and patterns of cinema's past.

Somewhere, there's an entrepreneur scribbling an idea on little more than the back of a napkin. Someone else has all the pieces of a new company in place, and now they're ready to dial for dollars. Entrepreneurs are a talented bunch, but that talent doesn't always include a knack for management or finance – skill sets that plenty of experts in Memphis stand ready to help explain.
Next month, an organized mob is planning to descend upon The Booksellers at Laurelwood.
With cash.
Spurred by an affection for locally owned small businesses and carrying out the idea born from a consultant who saw this done in other cities, the burgeoning "Memphis Cash Mob" movement will show up to the East Memphis bookstore Jan. 12 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. for its latest show of economic force.
Dr. Howard Scott has been named chief medical officer at Methodist South Hospital. Before joining Methodist South, which is part of the Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare system, Scott served as chief medical officer for West Kendall Baptist Hospital in Miami. He has also maintained an active private practice for 29 years.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Jacqueline Laurita Mourns a Death in Her Family
Sad news, you guys. Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita has lost someone in her family this past week, and took to Twitter to share her grief.
"Just got word that my beautiful Grandma (Dad's mom) passed away today at 95 years old. God Bless her! I'll love & miss her always! XOXO! :0(" Jacqueline tweeted on April 25.
As you can imagine, when fans and followers heard the news of the death in Jac's family, they readily jumped to the RHoNJ mama's side and sent their condolences.
"Thank u Twitter friends 4 all of your advice and support .I appreciate u all more than u probably know. You make me smile at the right times," she tweeted to her fans and friends.
Jac could definitely use all the support she can get these days. It was reported that she and hubby, Chris Laurita, have been having financial problems and that the couple owes $340k in back taxes in addition to their Jersey home allegedly being in pre-foreclosure. While Jac has since denied these rumors, she admitted to fans that she was "not rich," but her problems are far from over.
Prosecutors for Bergen County are moving forward with the assault and terroristic threat charges against Jac, Chris, RHoNJ star Joe Gorga and non-castmate John "Johnny the Greek" Karagiorgis due to the Jersey "brawl" that happened last month.
Be sure to take a moment and send your well wishes and condolences on Twitter to our girl Jac and her famiglia!

When in the address book mode, you CANNOT access the 2nd or 3rd or 4th letter in the book most of the time. After 5 phones, Samsung has duplicated the problem, with NO fix. They say it is a software problem, and the solution is when you want a number, just scroll through the entire book till the name comes up, or type in the letters of the person's name. Any ideas?

A divorce lawyer is being referred to regulators after taking romantic trips to European cities with his client as she and her estranged husband fought a £500,000 battle in the courts. The solicitor, whom the judge has not named so as not to identify children involved, began a relationship with the woman about six weeks after taking on her case in September 2014, a High Court judge said. Mr Justice Peter Jackson said that the solicitor, who took the woman to Barcelona and on a half-term break to Paris with her two children, a boy aged 12 and girl aged 10, had been refer
One hundred asylum seekers will immediately be released and hundreds more will have their detention reviewed after ministers were forced to suspend a scheme aimed at removing them quickly from the country. The embarrassment for the government comes after a series of challenges in the courts over the lack of safeguards in the fast-track detention system to ensure that victims of torture and trafficking are not deported. It follows the suspension of the appeals part of the system last Friday when the Court of Appeal ruled it unlawful and declared that its limit of seven wo
Britain is seeing a surge in Sharia marriages — many of them polygamous — as young Muslims shun legally binding unions. As many as 100,000 couples are living in such marriages, which are not valid under UK law, and bypassing register offices, experts said. Ministers have raised fears that women can be left without the right to a fair share of assets if the relationship ends, while others are forced to return to abusive "husbands". A leading Islamic family lawyer warned that the increase in Sharia ceremonies among the 2.7 million-strong Muslim population in Britain was al

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 1/2 hr
TOTAL TIME: 3 hr
Make lime curd:
Whisk together eggs, sugar, and lime juice in a 2-quart heavy saucepan until combined. Add butter and cook over moderately low heat, whisking constantly, until curd is thick enough to hold marks of the whisk and first bubbles appear on surface, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Stir in zest, then chill, covered, at least 1 hour.
Make pastry rounds:
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line 1 baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out dough into a 15-inch round (pastry will be thin) on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Cut out 18 rounds with cookie cutter and arrange 1/2 inch apart on lined baking sheet. Prick each round several times with a fork, then cover rounds with another sheet of parchment and weight with second baking sheet.
Bake until rounds are pale golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove top baking sheet and parchment and transfer rounds to racks to cool.
Sprinkle each round evenly with 1/2 teaspoon superfine sugar and carefully caramelize with a blowtorch (sugar burns easily).
Make glazed fruit and assemble desserts:
Boil confectioners sugar, water, and lime juice in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and add berries, gently tossing to coat. (There will be just enough to glaze berries; they will give off a small amount of juice as they cool.)
Cool berries 5 minutes.
Put 1 tablespoon of curd on each of 6 plates. Stack 3 rounds on each plate, layering rounds with some of curd and glazed berries, then drizzle plates with some syrup.
Cooks' notes:
· Lime curd can be chilled up to 3 days ahead.
· Pastry rounds can be baked and caramelized 1 day ahead, then cooled and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

Forests of Hope site - Rio Capim, Brazil
Site name: Rio Capim
Country: Brazil
IBA(s): BR013 (national code PA06)
Location: Para State; municipalities of Tailândia, Tomé-açu, Ipixuna do Pará, Paragominas, Goianésia do Para, Ulianópolis, Don Eliseu, Rondon do Pará
Site Area: 2,141,584 hectares
Partner: SAVE Brasil - www.savebrasil.org.br
Values of the site
Rio Capim is one of the most important large areas of intact lowland Amazon rainforest in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon, with all the key ecosystem services still maintained at the site. In particular, the site contains the Capim River – which provides important hydrological services to the surrounding area.
The IBA is home to a number of highly important bird species such as the Endangered Golden Parakeet Guarouba guarouba. It is also important for the Buff-browed Chachalaca Ortalis superciliaris, Vulnerable White-crested Guan Penelope pileata, Near Threatened Crested Eagle Morphnus guianensis, Near Threatened Harpy Eagle Harpia harpyja, and Vulnerable Pearly Parakeet Pyrrhura lepida. Whilst a preliminary ornithological survey has been undertaken at the site to date recording a total of 370 bird species, there is still much to discover about the area. The site also holds a population of a Critically Endangered monkey, the Black Bearded Saki Chiropotes satanas utahicki.
Rio Capim is also important for a number of local communities. The site contains two relatively small indigenous reserves: the Amanaye Indigenous land and Barreirinha Indigenous land. However, the land tenure situation in parts of the IBA is rather complex with a number of different stakeholders present in the area.
Key threats at the site include:
- Illegal logging (local farmers, new colonists, large companies)
- Forest clearance and burning for cattle pastures
- Complex land tenure situation and illegal land occupation
- Low level of law enforcement
The land tenure situation is complex at this site. Stakeholders include farmers, new colonists, indigenous communities and large companies, all claiming land. There is no clear ownership for a number of properties, and there are many cases where the same property is claimed by multiple owners. This scenario means that law enforcement in the area is extremely challenging to ensure and is an important factor responsible for the deforestation activities in the area.
Historical conservation approach
There are currently no legal protected areas in the site and no conservation projects are being implemented within the Rio Capim site.
New conservation approach
The most important conservation activity required at the site is the resolution of the complexities of the land tenure situation and a clarification of forest governance in the area. One conservation strategy could then be the creation of an official protected area. For this to take place, it will be necessary to clarify and document land ownership. An alternative approach would be to maintain private ownership and implement mechanisms that provide incentives to preserve the forest, in contrast to the current situation whereby forested areas are worth more harvested than left standing. There are also plans for looking into REDD project opportunities at the site.
For more information about this site, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com

The "Tonight Show" torch is about to be passed, when Jay Leno says goodbye (again) and Jimmy Fallon takes over. At first, it seemed as though everyone involved was fairly excited about the transition, but Leno recently told "60 Minutes" that leaving was "not [his] decision" this time around either.
This week, Leno and Fallon sat down with "Today" anchor Matt Lauer to talk about the move and it's a decidedly more friendly atmosphere, though you still have to wonder how Leno really feels about it all.
When asked how much effort it is taking not to make it awkward (since last time Leno left "The Tonight Show," it was really awkward), Leno says, "I would say hardly any effort at all. No effort at all. I mean, this time I was asked, the last time I was told, 'This is what's happening.' If [Fallon] wasn't here, would I still be here? Probably, another year or so."
Lauer also asks Leno if he's ready to hand over the keys to Fallon and he says, "Of course! Of course. Yes. Yes. Please. No problem." Leno then describes his relationship with Fallon as "a professional relationship."
"I really admire him as a comic, I think he's a really good performer. ... I admire his professionalism and his ability to do comedy," says Leno.
Fallon adds, "Obviously, I look up to Jay. We talk every couple weeks. I just love his attention to detail and how he roots for me all throughout late-night."
In a funny moment, Lauer asks Fallon if there's going to be tension between him and the guys he's going to be airing opposite now ( David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel) and Fallon says, "I think for me there's never anything tense. [ Leno cough-laughs] Maybe I have a lot to learn."
Lauer also asks them to "write" a letter to each other and Leno says to Fallon, "I would say, 'Don't do any joke you don't really believe it.' I would say, 'Never put your personal opinion ahead of the joke. Johnny [Carson] never did that.'"
Fallon responds, "I would say, 'Dear Jay, I hope I make you proud.'"
Leno's last night on "Tonight" airs Thursday, Feb. 6, with Fallon taking over on Monday, Feb. 17.

Mosque shooting probe expands
Time of suspected attack thought to be earlier in day
A shooting at a Southside mosque on Friday that sent a large-caliber bullet through an interior hallway happened much earlier in the day than originally thought, authorities said Monday.
OsamaBah-loul, imam of the Islamic Society of South Texas at 7341 McArdle Road, said he discovered broken glass above a rear door of the mosque at about 6:10 p.m. Friday. Police first reported the shooting likely happened between 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. -- when the building was vacant.
But after police and the FBI conducted interviews during the weekend, at least one person reported hearing gunfire at about 2:30 a.m. Friday, a time authorities now believe the shooting happened, said FBI special agent Patricia Villafranca.
The bullet pierced the top of a metal door frame, traveled about 30 yards down the hall and pierced a window above the back door 10 inches higher than where it entered. Investigators found that a second round struck a metal fence made of spaced rods spanning the mosque's perimeter, Villafranca added.
Corpus Christi Police Chief Bryan Smith said he is convinced the incident is a hate crime instead of a random act.
"To me there are too many coincidences," Smith said. "We found what we think is a round from a high-power rifle that tore through a building that happens to be a mosque at the start of Ramadan."
The mosque's roughly 600 members are celebrating Ramadan, a month of dawn-to-dusk fasting, prayer in mosques and giving to the poor, which this year began at sunset Wednesday.
Bahloul explained how the broken window could have gone unnoticed for much of the day.
He originally suspected a child broke the window from the outside while playing ball. However, the glass only fell outside the building, he said.
After walking about 30 yards down the hall to the mosque's front door, Bahloul found what looked like a bullet hole.
Bahloul said he and at least 150 other people were in the mosque Friday but didn't notice, probably because broken glass wasn't inside and because few people used the back door.
Between 10 and 15 people were in the mosque for morning prayers beginning at 6:10 a.m. Friday, and about 150 people attended a main service at 1:30 p.m.
Despite feeling targeted, Bahloul said he's grateful for the police and FBI's help, along with an outpouring of support from non-Muslims in the community since the attack.
"We were so proud of the city before," he said. "We did not have any trouble before."
Police Capt. Robert Bridge said Monday that authorities still are working to estimate at what distance and where the rounds were fired from.
A ballistics report is pending, Bridge said.
The FBI is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, which complements a separate $1,000 reward offered by Crime Stoppers. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at (713) 693-5229 or Crime Stoppers at 888-8477.

Originally written on The Detroit Sports Site | Last updated 8/1/13
MLive.com's Chris Iott posted a video highlight package of newly acquired Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias from the Boston Red Sox. Even though it is just a short set of clips, it is clear Iglesias is an upgrade from Jhonny Peralta in range, quickness and playmaking ability. Many times throughout the package it looks like Iglesias will have to eat the ball, but is able to fire it to second or first for the out. Detroit looks as if they are going to get a major upgrade at shortstop when he arrives in Detroit Friday.

A plugin for Firefox that I find very handy is ColorZilla. It allows you to auto copy and paste the HEX, RGB etc.. of a colour with once click.
The only downfall is, if the colour you want is a link, when you hover over the colour will probably be different on the :hover!

Wednesday evening, at the last minute, I was invited to the Da Vinci concierge dinner. I had been there before but was anxious to try it again. My first time there was a great night with David but I really wanted to like this place even more. And this time, they delivered.
When I arrived, everyone was meeting at the bar and having a drink. I decided against having a class of wine right off the bat and instead had a new favorite of mine: Kahlua and soda water with a lime.
This is also the restaurant that has the back-lit menus. Their lighting is low for that reason. Apparently less than 5 restaurants in the US have these menus and Da Vinci's is the only one in Boston.
When we were seated, a basket of warm bread was placed in front of us, along with olive oil and hummus for dipping.
The bread was so warm and chewy. And I loved the delicate test of the hummus. I had a few pieces. 😉
I was glad that our table was by the window because the lighting was slightly better than the last time I came.
For the appetizers, the chef insisted on giving us tastes of some of their more popular dishes. Our first plate was traditional aroncini filled with risotto and fontina, and prosciutto wrapped fontina and asparagus with field greens. The aroncini was creamy and cheesy in the middle and just the right amount of deep frying. It's easily one of my favorite appetizers! The prosciutto wasn't too salty and the cheese was just melted and blended nicely with the chilled asparagus.
As a second appetizer, we were given a pasta tasting. On the plate were potato gnocchi with spinach and Gorgonzola cream sauce, and simple rigatoni Bolognese. I admit it, I inhaled the rigatoni. It's a comfort food to me and this was delicious. It was lightly sauced and topped with parmesan. The gnocchi was delicious as well; light fluffy potato pillows.
For meals, we had an option of haddock or duck. I honestly wasn't feeling any, but the server told us that we could order off of the menu if we would like. I order the osso bucco which was a pork shank with saffron risotto and broccoli rabe. This was like a tower of pork and it was as tender as short rib.
I had half of the pork and all of the risotto. It was delicious. The pork was tender and sweet, although a tad dry once I started chewing. But it was great nonetheless.
For dessert, it was all about the tasting plate! There were chocolate molten cakes, fruit crostada, flan and vanilla ice cream. I had a few bites of each and pretty much attacked the crostada. The crust was so light and flaky. The chocolate cake was warm and gooey but I get tired of chocolate rather quickly. I love my fruit desserts. 😉
We demolished it.
Along with dinner, I did enjoy a couple of glasses of a red wine from Verona Italy. It was on the same level as a chianti and it was the first winery to use the double fermentation process. Very cool and crisp; not too dry. I liked it a lot.
My second time at Da Vinci's definitely left a good taste in my mouth (pun intended!). The service was great, the food was very well prepared. And I loved learning that everything they make, they do so in house and fresh. They even make their own pastas. With having the hotel far from the North End, I am so glad that there is an authentic Italian restaurant that I can send guests to and know that they will have a great time.
Da Vinci is located at 162 Columbus Avenue between the South End and the Back Bay. They are open Monday through Saturday for dinner at 5PM.

Aggregation is supposed to be the future of news (and perhaps the present). If so, it might not be as accurate, but it promises to be a lot more interesting. Yesterday, I Googled "Alabama Secretary of State" to find some information on the state's website. When I did, the new Google search contextual thingy in the sidebar made a funny. The woman in the photo above is obviously not Alabama Secretary of State Beth Chapman, but rather Beth Chapman, wife of Dog the Bounty Hunter. Also, that's not former Alabama Attorney General Troy King in the lower right corner. The future is now.

Bob Harper of The Biggest Loser Asks Congress to Pass Healthy School Meals Act
Bob Harper, fitness and nutrition trainer on NBC's The Biggest Loser, has helped millions of viewers understand how what they eat affects their weight. Now, he's taking that message to Capitol Hill. Harper recently left a phone message for members of Congress asking them to support the Healthy School Meals Act, H.R. 4870.
"As a personal trainer, I work hard to provide people with the tools and encouragement to stay fit and well," says Harper, who recently announced that he has transitioned from a vegetarian to a vegan diet. "I've seen firsthand the devastating effects obesity can have on people's lives, and I'm determined to help fight this epidemic. I support the Healthy School Meals Act, H.R. 4870."
Last month, the House Education and Labor Committee released a draft version of the Improving Nutrition for America's Children Act of 2010, a bill to reform the National School Lunch Program and other child nutrition programs. Although the draft includes modest increases in nutrition standards for federal child nutrition programs, it does not include provisions of the Healthy School Meals Act that would help schools offer more healthful, plant-based options, which are naturally low in saturated fat, cholesterol free, and full of fiber.
Findings in a new PCRM study show that public school students will enthusiastically embrace healthy lunch options. Recently published in the Florida Public Health Review, the study looked at sales of low-fat, plant-based entrées among students in the Broward County Public School District, the sixth-largest school district in the country. The remarkable results: Low-fat vegan options accounted for more than half of the average number of meals sold at each school on study days.
The study was conducted by PCRM dietitians and the program manager of nutrition education and training for Broward County Public Schools. Following the success of the trial, the district now provides meatless options—including rice and beans, veggie chili, and garden burgers—to students on a regular basis. The new menu items have been successful with vegetarian and nonvegetarian students, and also help schools meet federal nutrition standards.
On July 13, PCRM dietitian Kathryn Strong, M.S., R.D., will take this message to school food service directors at the School Nutrition Association's annual national conference. At PCRM's "Plant-Strong Vegetarian Product Showcase," association members will learn how all students benefit from plant-based options. Strong will be joined by Rip Esselstyn, author of The New York Times best-seller The Engine 2 Diet, which teaches how plant-strong foods can optimize health.

Modern Collodion Woman
I watched this nice video today from a woman in Washington state. Her name is Dinah DiNova. She's doing a kickstarter thing to go back to her hometown area, New Orleans, to keep shooting. Her pictures are quite nice. The video is especially good. I also love the background music; the dog is pretty bad-ass too. I think it's a Rat Terrier; might be a good breed to consider. Will send her some money today; she's very well-spoken about her work and her approach. I like when people take a more modern slant on the collodion process.
2 Responses
Mark. Dinah is a former student of mine. Great eye and is catching on with the art of collodion. Thanks for sharing
Will – you are an amazing teacher. I am always still learning, but I have taken much better tintypes than I ever thought I would because of your skill, advice & fantastic workshops. Thank you

Re: Rockland County, NY 36" build with pictures.
Thank you all for the good advice. Explain a little more about these "through bolted kickers" Tscarborough? I can't quite picture them with my limited knowledge.
Also thanks, Mikku for the advice. It may not be clear, but the inner of the two joists on the long edges are held up with metal hangers attached to the posts. Do you still think I need notching?
If the picture isn't clear, I was trying to highlight the small spot that you can see the metal hangar peeking out. It's the kind of hangar where the flanges fold inside, commonly used for joists attached to the very end of a deck ledger board.
Concrete pour day is Friday, weather permitting. A friend is available that day to help me lift concrete into mixer. Can I do it in a slight drizzle, weather speaking?
Online calculators calculate 10-12 bags of concrete for a 4 inch slab, about 20 square feet. My slab will be about 22 square feet, but only 3.5 inches thick. Speaking of that, do I do the 3.5 inches in addition to the 1/2 inch hardibacker board? Or do I include it in the total?

Re: Rockland County, NY 36" build with pictures.
A kicker is just a brace, usually on an angle. But im pretty sure that isn't being suggested, in this case, the brace will function like a jack stud does in framed openings...supporting a header.

Re: Rockland County, NY 36" build with pictures.
Slight drizzle for a pour is fine...much better than a blazing hot day. Keep the plastic handy if in case it gets worse and to cover up when you finish....you don't want excess water in the slab.

Re: Rockland County, NY 36" build with pictures.
99% of the time, when you meet a customer you really do not know what they will be like to work with.....with a few exceptions. I find working with people who are moderate income--like most tradespeople...They are very easy to work with. They understand that it requires a lot of work and planning to do something and they do not hesitate paying a bill. There is another class of people who are easy to work with---those who are very wealthy--I mean really wealthy. They know what they want and have no hesitation in paying a bill.
The group of people who I have had the most trouble working with or collecting are those who want all to believe that they are wealthy...the wanabee wealthy. They will do everything in their power to make it impossible to satisfy them--and if you can...they want a discount to top off their satisfaction!
There are other groups ...but if you have been in the business for a while, you know what to look out for. These are just a few observations I have had over the years... But I have never failed to collect on a bill, and never had to use any legal means to collect. A few have taken longer---and done installments but they are all clear now!
I hope that you are not seeing something in my words that is not there or implied. Thanks
Re: Rockland County, NY 36" build with pictures.
Actually, I am suggesting 45 degree supports at each corner, as much for looks as for support.
Mikku, let's not pollute this gentlemans thread with business philosophy.
Re: Rockland County, NY 36" build with pictures.
I stand by my building advice. Notching in would be the best course, second add cleats as Gulf suggested. The rest is just decoration. If it adds nothing, why waste the time. You should build like you did not need special fasteners--only dowels--or wedges like timber framing. Follow that technique and you will be fine. But these techniques take a little time and talent to master. The easy way out is seldom the best way! Do a web search on timber framing, you might actually enjoy what you find.
I suppose someone is going to quote "the easy way out is seldom the best way" to muddy the waters again--Please don't waste time or space!
Picture of hangar for the record
Here is a picture of the joist hangers I used in case it wasn't clear.
Sorry, my dumb mind still can't picture how I would put 45 deg. corner braces on here. I'm very grateful for the suggestion. If you have a chance to point to a picture of what you are talking about that would be amazing.
Unfortunately, weather report for tomorrow is for thunderstorms all day. I'm going to delay the pour until Monday, memorial day. I hope I can get a friend to come over. Of course, I'll have to feed him and his wife barbeque to entice them.
Mikku, I am going to take your advice and add some kind of attachment from the rebar, out of the concrete and into the post. Since you think my frostproofing is not perfect, and it likely my stand will eventually go off level, it would be a shame if the 800 pound slab, with 800 pounds of brick on top of it slid off. (I still dispute that it will come anywhere close to "popping out of the ground.")

Re: Rockland County, NY 36" build with pictures.
Hello Ronwass:
The advice is to run your rebar around the perimeter first. If you have something to bend rebar to 90 deg bends, make sure that the "L" section is (40x1/2") = 20" length. You can cut 4 pieces and make identical bends and you should be fine. Use some regular tie wire to assemble the joints where they cross. Additional rebar added to make a 6" grid both ways would make an excellent slab. Rebar is extremely cheap--so is concrete when you mix it yourself. Concrete by itself is brittle, the combination of concrete and reinforcement make it a superior building product.
when you decide to pour your slab, make sure that the rebar is elevated from your lower form. this can be done with broken pieces of concrete block, just small pieces that will hold your mat elevated when you install the concrete.
Next issue: Frost-footings: I was called out by a moderator and James saying that I was confrontational. I react badly when someone disputes something that I know as a fact. Enough said: You are asking about frost and I'll try to give you some examples.
Frost does not act on single things inserted in the ground, it acts on "everything" in the frost zone.
If your building code says 3' frost footings, then if the bottom of your footing is 3' below frost and it is part of a foundation assembly that is monolithic, then you should have no problems with heaving. But IMHO, the footer and anything placed on it must be attached OR the post or sonotube or cement block will lift and separate from the footer.
Building codes are not written to single out your oven structure, they are written to cover all types of construction. If you build a 10 story building in your area and have inadequate depth frost footings, the frost will act on the foundation and lift the building. Or seriously break up the foundation.
Think of frozen water mains. Some are cast concrete, some cast iron, some PVC or other composite materials. Some of the bursting is caused by the soil around a pipe heaving and physically breaking the pipe. Most water pipes if water is actively flowing through them will not break only under extreme circumstances.
Think of frost simply as water in the ground. Look at your ice tray in your refrigerator next time you mix yourself a drink. You put water into your tray level with the plastic form and when ice forms, it is domed. That is what water does in the ground...it expands when it freezes and it grabs onto anything that is embedded in the ground and raises it. Fence posts do rise, the dirt settles beneath the post each year and it eventually either completely rots off or pops out. Ranchers are constantly repairing fences and resetting posts in cold regions. I'm not making this up--I have no reason to do so!
I have done several foundations on homes where the owner did not want a deep foundation installed--below frost. Usually in Minnesota and northern climates, basements result from complying to building codes. If an owner does not want a basement you still need to address the frost issue. I have used grade beams which are simply a footing placed on edge instead of flat---double up on the rebar and install styrofoam insulation to the vertical surface. In addition to that, styrofoam laid horizontally around the perimeter of the structure --sloping slightly away will prevent frost from getting below the grade beam. But this design is based upon the retaining heat in the floor assembly...the styrofoam prevents the heat from easily escaping--and the heat loss keeps the ground from freezing. The vertical width from the foundation equals the "code requirement for frost footing" If your code says 3'--then horizontal styrofoam 3' width should satisfy code requirements.
I do not know if this technique is broadly accepted for construction. On the projects that I did, we submitted architectural plans; signed by the designing architect and other documentation by structural engineer. In all cases, the plans were approved. Some of the structures built were 30 years ago with no signs of failure to foundations.
There are other studies for perma frost areas where you build so that no heat escapes your structure that will act to "thaw" the frozen ground. So your are maintaining an "always frozen" build and the expansion is eliminated.
The foundation type that I earlier explained is sold commercially as something like "BIG FOOT" but this is a recent product. I developed my ideas in the 1970's well before "Big foot was marketed".
I really don't think you need my building advice. I am sure you are not going to start disassemblying what you have. That would be "crazy foolish". When I was giving the advice, you were in the "build phase"--easy to make adjustments.
Live with what you have.
As far as treated materials goes, read up on it. I do not know what the current treating chemical is but many include arsenic. I would have to actually have to search the meaning of "ACQ" treatment. Still not nice stuff to have around kids.
It has its' place but not where easy contact is possible.
This post is addressed to you--Ronwass. I would be happy to help you in any way. I hope your had a great day today... Japan was sunny and clear--we had temperatures in the high 80's and it was wonderful.. A great late spring day!
ready to pour tomorrow
OK, here I am all rebar-ed up. The weather report is looking good for tomorrow, not too hot. I may have to do a little more fine adjusting of the forms. My plan is to take my borrowed mixer, put it up about a foot on a piece of plywood on blocks, so that it will be not too high to load and just about the right height to pour out directly onto the platform.
I'm thinking it is going to be about 10 80 lb. bags.
I've never poured so much concrete before. If my 1/2 inch durock board splits, I'm going to have a big mess to clean up off my lawn below the platform.
Wish me luck.

Midsummer Night's Dream (RSC)
Editorial Staff • West End • 18 Apr 2005
Three years ago the RSC hit, as it were, rock Bottom with a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream which was as big a critical flop as the previous one, three years before, had been a hit.
There was never any likelihood that associate director Gregory Doran, who directs this, the opening play in the company's new Comedies season, would make an ass of himself with this perennial favourite. Nevertheless, although the RSC may now be financially in the black, it's not yet there critically. Success in the Swan has not translated into a consistent body of work in the RST. Indeed the RSC's recent successes have chiefly been with the work of writers other than Shakespeare.
Doran goes some way to restoring solvency with this enjoyable, visually spectacular production, the high point of which is undoubtedly the staging, by Bottom and his fellow mechanicals, of the 'most lamentable tragedy' of Pyramus and Thisbe for the chilly Athenian court. Malcolm Storry as Pyramus, looking and sounding for all the world like Noddy Holder, made me metaphorically beat the canvas in submission, although I was incapable of anything but struggling for breath.
Elsewhere Doran's production brings undertones of darkness but not the wholesale monochrome of Richard Jones' interpretation three years ago. This Dream, designed by Stephen Brimson Lewis, is frequently gorgeous, although the evocation of the forest through an accumulation of furniture, musical instruments and other detritus, will not be to everyone's taste.
The setting is non-specifically modern although a somewhat confusing opening scene featuring ancient armour has you momentarily wondering if you've stumbled into a production of Troilus and Cressida by error. And indeed there's a certain lack of focus overall about the production, despite its many fine qualities. The use of puppets to conjure up fairies and the changeling child are less dramatic than might be expected. The performances however are very good; some, excellent.
Chief among them is Joe Dixon, who confirms his earlier promise in the RSC's recent Jacobethan season with a beautifully-spoken Oberon. There's fine work too from Paul Chahidi as Peter Quince, Jonathan Slinger as a disgruntled, punkish Puck and Sinead Keenan as Hermia.
While there isn't the sense of revelation that informed Doran's Taming of the Shrew, this Dream offers beguiling diversion in, to paraphrase Don McLean, a starry, Storry night.

It appears Volkswagen has entirely forgotten it made the Scirocco, because just SIX YEARS after this new, third-generation car made its debut, it has been treated to a facelift. And some extra power.
It's the new VW Scirocco!
Well, sort of. Most powerful ever 'Roc to debut at Geneva, gets very mild facelift and new engines
Obviously, what with the new Golf GTI, new Golf R, 500bhp Golf concept and Rallycross Beetle, Wolfsburg has been mighty busy, hence the rather mild facelift. You'll notice the redesigned front bumper, daytime running lights, LED tail lights, and a reshaped rear bumper. Though don't forget, the Scirocco has yet to become MQB'd, sitting as it does on an old Golf platform.
Still, the 'R' gets bespoke bumpers and alloys, but the more interesting thing about this model is that it now becomes the most powerful Scirocco... in the world. Its 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine now produces 276bhp, up from 261bhp before. We wouldn't expect too much of an improvement over the 0-62mph times (6.0 seconds for the manual 'box, 5.8 with the DSG), while that 258lb ft of torque remains the same as before. Still, it's good for a 155mph top speed.
What would make an improvement over the 0-62mph times, however, would be for VW to fit the new 296bhp 2.0-litre TSI we drove in the new Golf R. Please, VW, make this happen.
Elsewhere you'll find the 1.4-litre TSI now produces 122bhp, there's a 177bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine that replaces the 157bhp 1.4, and a pair of 2.0-litre diesels (148bhp and 181bhp). Plus, the 207bhp 2.0-litre now produces 218bhp, as in the Golf GTI.
Inside there's a new set of dials and an auxiliary instrument cluster above the centre console - just like in 1974, man - with prices announced closer to its delivery date in September. You'll see the new car in Geneva, though, which is only next month.

The Saltillo Tigers have a quarterback that has put up impressive numbers both on the ground and through the air this season.
Andrew Soper has completed 82 of 183 pass attempts for 1,364 yards and 14 touchdowns with 196 carries for 973 yards rushing and 10 more scores.
He is a player the Starkville Yellowjackets have to deal with as the two teams meet in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs Friday night in Starkville. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
"He's a guy that can run it and throw it," SHS coach Jamie Mitchell said. "We need to do a good job of taking him out of his game and limit his numbers as much as we can,"
One of the main targets for Soper this season has been AJ Hunt, who has 30 catches for 818 yards and 11 touchdowns.
The Tigers bring a 7-4 overall record to Yellowjacket Stadium and were the fourth seed out of Region 1 with a 4-3 mark.
Saltillo ended the regular season with wins over Lake Cormorant 17-7 and Hernando 45-28. The losses for the Tigers have come against good teams in Itawamba AHS, Oxford, West Point and Center Hill.

BOLIVIA—Brunswick County had between 1,000-2,999 foreclosure starts between January 2007 and January 2008, according to the North Carolina Department of Commerce.
When Willie Gore was arrested in 1962 following a civil rights sit-in, he never could have imagined he'd be watching an African-American president being sworn into office more than 40 years later.
In 1960, a group of students at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro began having sit-ins in protest of racial discrimination.
The Southport resident was a part of CORE—Congress of Racial Equality—in the '60s, and in 1962, he joined a sit-in at an S&W Cafeteria.
All charges against Jessie Mae Monroe Elementary School Principal Patricia Rourk and Tracey Danka, a parent of two former Jessie Mae students, have been dismissed.
According to a press release from the district attorney's office, Rourk and Danka have reached a "confidential" agreement. The parties agree to "have no further contact," the release states.
Danka said Tuesday she is "very satisfied," with the terms of the agreement.
The National Weather Service's winter weather advisory for Brunswick County remains in effect through 10 p.m. this evening.
Throughout the day, temperatures are expected to continue to drop. By afternoon, temperatures are expected remain near freezing along the coast. Because of this, the National Weather Service predicts roads will become slippery with bridges and overpasses being the most susceptible to icing.
Brunswick County has a confirmed case of salmonella, the health department has reported.
The parents of a local child reported the poisoning in November, but it takes a couple of months for testing to be complete, deputy health director Fred Michael said.
It's the only one so far in the county, Michael said, that is the same as the strain reported nationwide. So far, 470 cases have been reported throughout the U.S., four of them in North Carolina.
Michael said the department is advising people not to eat peanut butter crackers.
More than 60 people lined the pews at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church on Monday to honor the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with songs, speeches, sermons and praise.
It was the fourth such event in the southwestern part of the county, and organizers say they plan to continue the tradition.
The crowd warmed up by singing inspiring hymns including "We Shall Overcome," "Have a Little Talk with Jesus" and "Amazing Grace."
RALEIGH—An Oak Island man has been sentenced to eight years in federal prison for a child pornography charge.
On Wednesday, Jan. 14, U.S. District Judge James C. Dever III sentenced Keith David Smith, 22, a former Coast Guard seaman, to 97 months in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
According to a press release, one count of criminal information was filed Aug. 4, 2008, charging Smith with receipt of child pornography.
Smith pleaded guilty to the charge in federal court in September 2008.
RALEIGH—When N.C. Governor Bev Perdue was sworn in as governor Saturday, Jan. 10, she inherited an anticipated $2 billion budget shortfall for the current fiscal year.
Perdue traveled to Washington, D.C., last week to meet with members of Congress and President Barack Obama's transition team to urge the passing of a proposed stimulus package.
Perdue encouraged the passing of a federal stimulus package "that will rapidly put North Carolinians back to work," according to Perdue's press office.
CALABASH—Town commissioners have approved a maximum 35-foot height for multi-family housing in the proposed Calabash Town Center development.
A conditional-use permit was approved 3-2 last week by commissioners John Melahn, Cecelia Herman and Emily DiStasio, while commissioners Forrest King and Bill Dixon voted against it.
Plans by Shallotte Partners call for 216 apartments or 18 three-story buildings on a 22.5-acre tract at the corner of Old Georgetown and Clariday roads. Commercial strips fronting both those roads will be developed separately.
A Supply man has been arrested after allegedly stealing more than $600 worth of cigarettes from a local convenience store.
James Taylor Beaver, 21, of Supply, was charged with breaking and entering and larceny.
Brunswick County Sheriff's Office detective Tony Caison said Beaver stole 20 cartons of cigarettes from the Citgo on Holden Beach Road.
