DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Authorities say a man died but two children were rescued after they apparently fell out of a fishing boat at Saylorville Lake near Des Moines.
The Polk County sheriff's office says the man and the children, ages 6 and 10, were found in the water on Monday afternoon by a person on a sailboat. The person tied off the fishing boat and got the children, but not the man, out of the water.
Officials say the children were wearing life jackets and weren't injured. The man, who was not wearing a life jacket, was in the water for at least 20 minutes. His name hasn't been released.
Deputies say there was no damage to the boat and the lake wasn't choppy. Investigators are trying to determine what happened.

A motion rejecting the referendum was approved yesterday by 272 MPs from the country's mainstream parties against 43 votes from Catalonian nationalist groups and some leftist politicians.
It calls on the government to ensure compliance with the law and the constitution, under which only the central government can call a referendum.
The Barcelona-based regional government of Catalonia plans to hold the referendum on November 9 but the Spanish government has made it clear it will not be allowed.
Polls indicate that Catalans are roughly evenly split on independence.
The Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy previously said he would not let Catalonia hold an independence referendum.
Mr Rajoy said: "As long as I am prime minister there will not be independence."
Mr Rajoy has also asserted an independent Scotland would be "left outside the EU" and required to negotiate membership from scratch with all 28 member states in the event of a Yes vote.

Monday 10/1: Hazard, Kentucky - Huntington, West "By God" Virginia
Well, at least I got into a different state...
, not "state of consciousness..." Sheesh.
The Weather Finally Catches Up to Dr. Greg
Aside from the first few hot days, I had pretty much experienced
weather this whole trip. Well, that came to an end this morning:
I had been following the weather "electronically," of course, and I expected the rain to start when it did. But...it's always nice to hope the forecast is wrong. But it wasn't.
So it's pretty much rained all day today in Kentucky (which is where I was). Didn't even bother to have the camera out on the bike, although the vistas of clouds hanging in the many "hollows" of the hills were spectacular in their own way.
I did snap one pic at a gas stop; just proof that it was really raining. BTW, can't tell from the pic, but as I left this fuel stop it was rainin'
. Visibility was rather poor for a while. Don't like that...
So I made it a short day. I was feelin' pretty tired anyway; it was cold (59 deg F...perfect hypothermia weather) so I called it "quits" early. That's one of the wonderful things about not being on a schedule.
Tomorrow's Ride
The last time I was in West Virginia (Fall 2010) I was astounded that none of it was flat. Back then I hadn't really taken any time to ride the backroads. Well, rainy weather and unknown backroads are a tricky combination in my book, so I think what I'll do is make Tuesday a short day as well, then try and ride a few West Virginia backroads on Wednesday as I work my way closer to Gettysburg, PA.
I've gotten a couple suggestions on roads; I'll just "play it by ear" (remember, I have perfect pitch) and see what happens.
I'm not a big fan of camping in the rain; I've got a couple possible "homestays" in PA and MD. And when the weather clears up camping is again a possibility.
Sorry there was so little to write about today...maybe it's getting time for me to take a "REST DAY." I often do that on trips. Heck, maybe I'll just stay at this motel ($59 for a big ol' room) another night, and wait for the weather to clear. Let Milledue dry out a little...
Anyway, I'll let y'all know what happens.

Leading entrepreneurs will share their stories in an interactive seminar series Jan. 17-20, 2012
New opportunities for products and services are arising rapidly along the frontier where the physical and the digital merge--where drugs are discovered in silico and computing enables radically new forms of technology and commerce.
A seminar series, Computational Science Ventures, will bring a group of entrepreneurs to Harvard Jan. 17-20, 2012 to share their experiences in this new realm. The series has been organized by Harvard alumnus, inventor and researcher Alexander Wissner-Gross, the first Institute Fellow at IACS.
Wissner-Gross will moderate sessions featuring four guest speakers:

- Wednesday, Jan. 18: Maria Lopez-Bresnahan, Vice President and Global Head for Medical and Scientific Affairs at Pharmanet/i3
- Thursday, Jan. 19: Luke Burns, Principal at Ascent Venture Partners
- Friday, Jan. 20: Stephen Wolfram, Founder and CEO, Wolfram Research
The series is organized as a mini-course. There is no charge, but advance registration is required. Students are encouraged to register for multiple sessions to receive readings and special opportunities to meet the speakers.

Following the leaders of other local districts, the Washington County Board of Education unanimously voted Thursday to send a resolution to state officials decrying a new policy that hinges teaching licenses largely on students' performance on standardized tests.
The resolution recommended by Director of Schools Ron Dykes used language similar to a resolution approved last month by the Johnson City Board of Education, calling the state licensure policy "inequitable and counterproductive."
"How soon can you get it to them?" board member David Hammond quipped over the applause from district staff members in the audience after the policy was approved.
The resolution, signed by each of the board members, will be presented to Gov. Bill Haslam, Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman, district representatives in Nashville and other officials.
"I think the school board recognizes that teaching is a true calling — we saw three examples of that tonight," Hammond said, recognizing by name the recipients of the district's Teacher of the Year Award. "These are three people we don't want to see leave education because Nashville doesn't get it."
After the state Board of Education passed the policy in August, teachers' organizations, school administrators and district boards heavily criticized the state body and Huffman, the policy's originator.
Under the new licensing rules, in-class evaluation and students' standardized test scores will be used to grant new and renewals of professional teachers licenses.
If a teacher scores a 1 out of 5 on the evaluation or the rate of change of her students' test score growth in two of the three years preceding consideration of her license, that teacher would be put under evaluation. If the scores did not improve, the teacher would lose their license to teach in the state.
The state board members recognized the concerns of the education professionals at their meeting — two of them voted against the new policy — but decided to approve the policy with the amendment that its implementation be postponed until 2015.

By JOEL COLEMAN
COLUMBUS – For three quarters Saturday, East Webster proved to be the better team in its game against West Lowndes.
The one quarter that the Wolverines faltered made all the difference.
East Webster led by 10 points early in the fourth quarter, but the Panthers finished the contest on a 21-4 run to upend the Wolverines 62-55 in the consolation game of the Class 2A, Region 2 Tournament at West Lowndes.
"We just gave up too many opportunities throughout the game," said East Webster head coach Corey Stidham. "A little basket here, a free throw here and an offensive board here. Against a good basketball team like that, you have to value every possession and make sure it happens."
For the majority of the game, Stidham's squad more than weathered the storm against a West Lowndes team playing on its home floor.
East Webster (15-13) led 11-8 after the first quarter and took a 28-21 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Jamie McKee paced the Wolverines' balanced first-half attack, scoring all of his nine points prior to the intermission.
Ledrick Patterson and Miguel Graham each tallied seven points in the first half for East Webster.
Patterson finished with a team-high 17 points while Graham ended the game with 15.
"The first two quarters, (West Lowndes) was playing like they didn't care about it," said Patterson. "They were just walking around and stuff, and we were trying to put it on them. Then, start of the third quarter, they started waking up and just heated up in their own gym."
West Lowndes (13-8) ultimately had to solve the Wolverines' zone defense to find a way to battle back.
A Panthers offense that had just one player score more than five points before halftime finished with three players in double figures.
Tyquan Lucious led West Lowndes with 23 total points, 11 of which came in the Panthers' fourth-quarter surge.
Antonio Wilson finished with 18 points for West Lowndes while Deandra Lewis added 11.
"Personally, I think we kind of rocked (West Lowndes) to sleep a little bit with the zone," said Stidham. "They just picked up and hit some big shots at the end and we had a couple of key turnovers. That's basketball.
"They're about as athletic as you get. They've got quickness, speed, shooters, and jumps. I think my guys did a great job of taking care of that."
Ultimately though, the Wolverines' struggles in the final period proved to be their downfall.
After East Webster's Xavier Moye converted a three-point play with a basket and a free throw in the opening seconds of the fourth quarter to put his team up 49-39, the Wolverines mustered just six points the rest of the way behind individual baskets from Ty Hendrix, Charles Guyton and Graham.
Meanwhile, the Panthers clawed all the way back, taking the lead for good on a Lucious three-pointer with just under 4 minutes to play.
"We were talking in the zone," said Patterson. "We were telling each other where the shooters were. Then, a couple of (West Lowndes players) were driving and we were losing the shooters and they were making shots."
With the loss, East Webster now enters the Class 2A playoffs as Region 2's No. 4 seed.
That designation will put the Wolverines on the road Tuesday against the Region 1 champion, which is either Baldwyn or Ashland depending upon the result of those two team's late Saturday title game.
While his own club suffered through a tough couple of days in West Lowndes with Saturday's defeat and Friday's loss to Calhoun City, Stidham says he's not worried about any type of hangover effect as postseason play heats up next week.
As evidence, Stidham cited his team's Saturday performance.
"I think my guys stepped up after (Friday's loss) and no doubt made a statement," said Stidham. "I never doubted them because that's the type of kids they are.
"(Next week) we'll line up against whoever it is. You've got to play your best every night. Whoever it is, we'll give them our best shot."

Apple's Intel switch: Jobs' keynote transcript

It's Intel inside for Apple's MacJune 6, 2005
(continued from previous page)
transitions so far, right? The first one, 68K to PowerPC and that transition happened about 10 years ago in the mid-'90s. I wasn't here then, but the team then did a great job from everything I hear. And the PowerPC set Apple up for the next decade. It was a good move. The second major transition, though, has been even bigger and that's the transition from OS 9 to OS X that we just finished a few years ago, in the early part of this decade. This was a brain transplant and even though these operating systems vary in name only by one, they are worlds apart in their technology. OS X is the most advanced operating system on the planet and it has set Apple up for the next 20 years.
Today it's time to begin a third transition. We want to constantly be making the best computers for you and the rest of our users and so it's time for a third transition and, yes, it's true. We are going to begin the transition from the PowerPC to Intel processors and we're going to begin it for you now and for our customers next year. Now, why are we going to do this, right? Didn't we just get through going from OS 9 to OS X, isn't the business great right now? Why do we want another transition? Because we want to make the best computers for our customers looking forward. Now, I stood up here two years ago in front of you and I promised you this, and we haven't been able to deliver that to you yet. I think a lot of you would like a G5 in your PowerBook and we haven't been able to deliver that to you yet. But these aren't even the most important reasons. The most important reasons are that as we look ahead, though we may have great products right now, and we've got some great PowerPC product still yet to come, as we look ahead we can of envision some amazing products we want to build for you and we don't know how to build them with the future PowerPC road map. And that's why we're going to do this. When we look at Intel, they've got great performance, yes, but they've got something else that's very important to us. Just as important as performance, is power consumption. And the way we look at it is performance per watt. For one watt of power how much performance do you get? And when we look at the future road maps projected out in mid-2006 and beyond, what we see is the PowerPC gives us sort of 15 units of performance per watt, but the Intel road map in the future gives us 70, and so this tells us what we have to do.
Now this is not going to be a transition that happens overnight, it's going to happen over a period of a few years. Again, we've got great products right now and we've got some great PowerPC products in the pipeline yet to be introduced. But starting next year we will begin introducing Macs with Intel processors in them and over time these transitions will again occur. So when we meet here again this next time next year, our plan is to be shipping
Apple aligns with Intel
of Worldwide Developer Conference
There are two major challenges in this transition. The first one is making Mac OS X sing on Intel processors, right? Now, I have something to tell you today. Mac OS X has been leading a secret double life for the past five years. There have been rumors to this effect, but this is Apple's campus in Cupertino. Let's zoom in on it and that building right there. We've had teams doing the just-in-case scenario. And our rules have been that our designs for OS X must be processor-independent and that every project must be built for both the PowerPC and Intel processors. And so today for the first time, I can confirm the rumors that every release of Mac OS X has been compiled for both PowerPC and Intel. This has been going on for the last five years.
Just in case. So Mac OS X is cross-platform by design, right from the very beginning. So Mac OS X is singing on Intel processors and I'd just like to show you right now. As a matter of fact?as a mater of fact this system I've been using right here...Let's go have a look. Let's go have a look here. So we've been running on an Intel system all morning and let me just go, you know, do a few simple things. Baseball, you know, boom, all the normal stuff just works. Let's go back to these Dashboard Widgets that we just brought up, there they are and, you know, we can even--let's see here, you know--go find a calendar event here. Very simple! Let me go show you mail. There is mail right here. Safari, here is the new Widget stuff, way to find some new widgets, boom, on Apple.com. Let me show you iPhoto, loading in 4,000 photos, here we are. And let me go ahead and play you a movie. Here it is, let me get rid of this. Here is a movie trailer here. All right, enough of that. So this is Mac OS X running on Intel processors.
We are very far along on this but we're not done, which is why we're going to put it in your hands real soon, so that you can help us finish it. Now, the second major challenge is your apps right? So let's take a look at how you're going to make Intel versions on your apps. You can separate code into kind of four different buckets: Widgets, Scripts, Java, Cocoa Apps, which of course are made with Xcode, Carbon Apps, which can be made from Xcode, and Carbon Apps which can be made from Metrowerks. Now each have different properties. Widgets, Scripts and Java, they just work, right? They just run, nothing to do. Cocoa apps, a few minor tweaks and a recompile and they just work. Carbon with Xcode, more tweaks and a recompile, and they're going to work. And in Metrowerks, the first thing you have to do is move to Xcode.
So, let's take a look at this again: Widgets, Scripts and Java just work. Cocoa apps, literally a few days and your Cocoa app's going to be running with an Intel version. Carbon apps, it's to be a few weeks, a few more tweaks, although there are exceptions to that although we maybe overstating it here, which we'll see in a minute. And and in Metrowerks we don't know, you've got to get to Xcode. So the key here is getting to Xcode.
Now we started evangelizing Xcode 18 months ago, how is everyone doing on Xcode? They're doing well. Our top 100 developers, over half are using Xcode today, over half of our top 100 developers and another 25 percent of them are in the process of switching to Xcode. So, over 80 percent of our top 100 developers are using or are in the process of using Xcode, and less than 20 percent haven't got onboard yet. Now is a good time to get onboard. So Xcode is the key and we've got a new Xcode today to give you, Xcode 2.1. This has got some new fun features as you know Xcodes are a very robust development environment, but the most important new feature,

Press Mill Wednesdays – The Return
Time to get back to the Press Mill Wednesdays, where we recap all of the "mainstream" press surrounding the art we all love. The column was put on the backburner for a little bit whilst we did some behind the scene restructuring, and now, given there is a little more free time on this editors hands, we'll be able to get back into a few more special columns for you.
So, right into it …
- Deb, Amuse, Simon Clouston, Jess Cook and other street artists all raised money for the environmental group Borneo Orang-utan Survival – $11,000 worth, last week – wonderful.
- A great little article in the Age about the recent painting in Union Lane by some young creatives, under the mentorship of Paul Round. Great to see this kind of thing!
- There has been a lot of news in recent times as to the proposed re-vamp of the Keith Haring mural in Collingwood – The Age had another article on it a week or so ago.
- Theres a "Phantom Knitter" on the loose in Hobart, and the ABC tried to track them down … nice little piece on some cool yarn bombing.
- Sounds like Sydneys China Town is getting a revamp – including a bunch of "street art" – Jason Wing will be doing a big piece, which sounds pretty cool … but, you know, it hurts my head thinking about the hypocrisy, considering the new NSW laws against street art and all …
- A really nice and heart warming, positive piece a young guy using a spray can as physical therapy – you go, Sam Ford!
- Students at Goondawindi State High got up in a big way and painted their local PCYC – this is a fantastic example of integrating street art into the curriculum – more more more.
- Some recent news on the case against a NZ artist who is being sued in court in a civil action by the Auckland City Council – I'd like to know where they dig up their figures, apparently it costs around $100/$200 to remove one tag – really? ffs …
- Owen Dippie is making splashes both in NZ as well as over in NYC – this Herald article covers it all pretty well – he's been going large!
- Finally, there is a really, really great article up on Voxy about all the artwork that is going up in Christchurch, celebrating all of the police who did heroic things during the quakes – a cool example of the beautiful uses of urban art …
That's it for this week – see you back with another regular Press Mill in a fortnight.

The Cheapskate's Guide to Usability
A big part of my day-job is trying to evangelize website usability to small businesses and friends in other industries (SEO, design, etc.). One of the biggest obstacles I come up against is the idea that decent usability testing is expensive. Sure, full-scale laboratory testing can be expensive and isnt accessible to everyone, but theres a lot that you can do on a budget, and Im a big believer that something is almost always better than nothing.
So, in that spirit, here are a few sets of tools that you can use to start improving usability (and, of course, conversion) today. Many of these tools are free, and all of them can give you real benefit for under $100. Most of the add-on tools are Javascript-based, and if you can install Google Analytics or a widget, you can install any of them.
Heat Mapping
Laboratory usability studies track visitors eye movements to determine how effective website designs and elements are. While hooking people up to laser-guided computers is extremely cool, its also pretty expensive. Heat mapping (or click mapping) takes a low-cost approach to this by mapping out where visitors click on a site and using it to develop a simulated heat map of activity. While these maps wont tell you exactly where people are looking, they can help you determine if your actionable content, links, and ads are placed effectively.
Resources: Crazy Egg, ClickDensity, Google Analytics (Site Overlay)
Screen Recorders
Of course, the core of usability testing is being able to watch what your visitors are really doing on your website, but thats tricky when those visitors are sometimes hundreds of miles away. Thats where remote screen recording software comes in " it records your individual visitors movements through your website and lets you watch them as online videos. While the insights arent as deep as you can get from interacting with site visitors and watching them in person, remote screen recorders can help you get a sense for whether people are able to navigate effectively and what hurdles they encounter.
Resources: Robot Replay, UserFly
Survey Engines
The next best thing to watching your visitors in action is to ask them what they want. Online surveys have a reputation for being poorly designed and often ignored, but some recent survey engines have raised the bar, making survey design and implementation easy and using opt-in approaches and limiting participation to avoid scaring off visitors.
Resources: 4Q by iPerceptions
Outsourced Testing
Ideally, you could watch your visitors and get their feedback - outsourced testing allows you to do just that. Outsourced testing isnt free, but many sites now allow you to get quick, structured feedback at relatively low cost. Even though its not as rigorous as laboratory testing and the quality of test subjects varies, this type of testing is still great for those A-ha! moments, letting you see what you might be overlooking. Pricing ranges from $1/visitor to about $60/visitor, and quality definitely varies with price, but you can start with the low-cost options while youre learning the ropes and then pay more as your projects merit it.
Resources: Usertesting.com, FeedbackArmy, Userlytics
Do-It-Yourself Testing
If you dont trust testing to a 3rd-party website, why not do it yourself? One-on-one testing in usability isnt about hard science; its about watching and learning, seeing past what you take for granted and figuring out how regular people use your site. So, get some regular people (your boss, your mom, your friends), sit them in front of your website, and start watching. Before you do, though, do yourself a favor and read Steve Krugs usability classic Dont Make Me Think. Its short, it will teach you everything you need to know about one-on-one testing, and, at least in the realm of usability, its the best $26 youll ever spend.
Resources: Dont Make Me Think (book)
Any More Excuses?
Hopefully, youve run out of excuses " usability testing doesnt have to be expensive, and once you start putting it to work regularly, youll never know how you lived without it. The next time you hit a wall with your website development or run into conversion problems, take an hour to check out some of these resources, and I promise itll be time well spent.

I've always been a big fan of heatmapping. It shows visually exactly what people are doing and where you can work to improve. I have found it especially useful to know when an image should be made "clickable".
Where is your muppet? I thought for sure I would see Yoozer. [sigh] 😉
Despite the fact that you left Yoozer back on your blog, Dr. Pete…. this is still an awesome post!! Enoyed it thoroughly.
Many people don't even realize exactly how much they can sometimes do themselves just by taking a look online and doing some research.
Great list; I wasn't aware of the outsourced testing resources you list I'll give them a look. Site overlay in GA is a great and often underused tool
Conversion Rate Experts has a similar list of free to low price point usability tools I found helpful:
Good stuff, thanks!
I have used Crazy Egg a lot in my last company. You can really get a lot of informations out of it.
However, you need a certain minimum numbers of visitors per time period so that you will get reliable results.
Great tips. As an SEO, I feel that this is something I don't spend enough time on. I can definitely see why it's so important. I plan to take advantage of the testing resources that you have mentioned.
Great tip list. I've recently become a big fan of http://www.UserTesting.com It is a great low-risk, low-cost way to quickly get "Fresh Eyes" feedback. Having a video of a user is great for rewatching critical parts. The video is also helpful to illustrate usability problems in an non-personal way.
I recently came across http://usabilla.com – still in private beta but a quick and great way to get feedback on mock ups and designs.
Do-It-Yourself Testing should also include the resource Silverback (http://www.silverbackapp.com). For $50 you can turn your Macbook into a mobile usability lab. Records the screen, audio, and iSight or webcam video of the participant.
We use it all the time.
Surveys are the most effective method of taking feedback from your customers. Many of the business got success by making their site as per the user's requirements. This is most widely used method, thus people are familiar with it.

Great resource. Thanks! Also, worth mentioning UsabilityTest.com
[…] The Cheapskate's Guide to Usability (guest post by Dr. Pete of User Effect) […]
We've been using Userfly, and we find it both addicting and frustrating. It's fascinating to see what users are doing on the site, but we find it raises more questions than it answers. Who is the user? What is his or her goal? Did the information provided meet expectations? What is the user's next step after leaving the site?
Userfly may be most effective as a tool for generating hypotheses about usability issues that can be further explored in usability testing. It's important to note that not all usability testing is expensive – there are many options between these "cheapskate" tools and a full-fledged traditional usability study.
[…] The cheapskate's guide to usability by Dr. Pete. […]
@Kathi – I understand your point on the remote recorders. Unless you have a very specific question or issue, like a form completion problem, tools like UserFly can raise more questions than they answer. I think that's a valuable part of the process, though – many of these tools are really first steps so that you can gain some general insights and take the second (and usually more expensive) steps with a better sense of the right questions and direction.
Screen recorders are helpful tools to record users' activity on the screen. It would be nice materials to test the usability of a website or a software application. And these recorders can even make software tutorials and website demos for users.

Performance is certainly this system's strong point. Though the slow hard drive drags the package down a bit, this system is fast in the demanding workloads that are most likely to strain a laptop's resources. This computer can handle anything the average consumer will ask of it, and it does so without straining the buyer's wallet.

Unlike our Editors' Choice, the Asus U46E-BAL5, the Toshiba Satellite P755-S5390 isn't intricately appointed in every area: You won't find on it the Asus U46E-BAL5's larger hard drive, more RAM, WiMAX, remarkable longevity when not plugged in, or lower price. So we have to let the Asus U46E-BAL5 retain its edge, despite the P755-S5390's superior performance on all our productivity tests. Even so, the P755-S5390 stands out from the mainstream crowd and is absolutely worth considering if you have a lot of work to do—and quickly.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.

With central urban living on the rise, many city developers are renovating old buildings into loft apartments. Modern and new structures are being built to accommodate the trend as well. Shopping for window treatments for these spaces can be an overwhelming task and leave the city dwellers completely frustrated when they can't find ready-made window treatments available on the market. Too big, too small, too casual, too fancy, and sometimes too expensive as well, it seems there are too many choices and yet none will do.
One way to leave the quandary behind is to do something altogether different and make your own. Hardware made from chain link fence rails and industrial handrail brackets goes perfectly with modern architecture or a downtown loft. Curtains made from canvas or drop cloths will not break the bank and they are easy to make and maintain. No need for fancy finials. Fence rail connector sleeves add the finishing touches, covering any mistakes in cutting or rough edges. Since you'll be making your own canvas curtains, you can place your curtain rods at the desired level and then make your curtains accordingly. Hinged rings provide sturdy attachments. They aid in the ease of pulling the drapes and they allow for quick removal for laundering. The great thing about fence rails is they are rigid pipes for cheap. They are perfect for long spans and they aren't likely to bend in the middle as conventional curtains rods might. By using these unique materials, you'll be cutting costs without sacrificing style.

Clock Question
David, I've got an old wind up clock, time and chimes winds. It runs fine and keeps time well and all I do is wind it up.
My question is what kind on maintenance should I do for it? any kind of lubrication? or just let it be since it runs fine?
don't know much about clocks.....
Re: Clock Question
If it runs fine, let it be. Most mechanical clocks will, first, show degraded performance, like weird timekeeping or slow striking, then stop entirely.
Any attempt at lubrication to a dirty clock, will mix lubricant with dirt, and form an abrasive paste that will speed up wear. When the clock stops, someone will need to dismantle it, replace or reface worn bearing surfaces, clean, lubricate and adjust it. Half measures are worse than useless.
Modern oils last for years, unlike the old animal based lubricants. It's not unusual for a clock to run ten years or more between overhauls.
Re: Clock Question
1. When it does start running erratically, send to an experienced repairman. Will cost a bit of money but should repay you in years of reliable service.
2. Often some of the holes in which the gear axles (pivots) rotate will need re-bushing to restore a round shape, and in many cases restore their position relative to the mating gear. This is something that requires professional equipment and experience; This is something that is often required to restore both good timekeeping and reliability to an old mechanical clock.
Re: Clock Question
You should never use anything but clock oil on a clock. It is very expensive and you don't use much. I ruined a good clock trying to do it myself. Have it cleaned and oiled by a professional. Much cheaper in the long run.
Re: Clock Question
David's the clockmeister. Now my turn - I've got a pendulum clock that quit chiming - no visible name. I think it may be German. It's got a lever that turns on/off the chimes, or more specifically, stops the hammers from hitting the rods/bars chime when turned off. Now, the entire set of hammers rise and drop, but stop about 3 mm short of hitting the bars in both settings. The clock's about 20 years old, but spent most of its life in a box or hanging quietly on a wall. I think it last worked in Italy, about 10 years ago.
On the good side, I used to hide my rent money in there years ago. Recently, my wife found 400,000 Lire in there. On the bad side, you have to go to a Banco di Italia to exchange it for Euros.
Sound like I'm missing something easy with the clock, or should it go to a pro?
I know, I know. I got so tired of answering dental questions at the supermarket that I hid if I saw someone I knew. Thanks dmun. No requirement to answer.
Re: Clock Question
Thanks all....good answers at a great price.
Re: Clock Question
Surprise surprise,
I've got one of those grandfather clocks as well. I inherited it from my father. (Actually, it is a lovelly piece of quality furniture but my sister literally could not fit it in her house and it was not brother style). It would chime on the 1/4 hr but not strike the actual hour for around 2 years until it decided to stop completely.
It should be ready to be picked up from the specialist repairer after a complete rebuild. It is around 30 years of age, has a rather large German movement and cannot be replaced except by a cheap small throw away when faulty mechanism. I am expecting around Au$4-500 all up but I guess that it is worth it..
Re: Clock Question
Lets see. Modern German chiming clocks have five (or nine) hammers. The strike is controlled by a lever that lifts three of them to play a chord at the hour. It could be that this lever isn't dropping down all the way. It could also be a lever that controls strike/silent is out of whack: Strike silent mechanisms are notoriously wonky, and have been since the 18th century. Sometimes you see a clock where there's something wrong with the strike, and it's stopped in the hammer up position, but the clock carries on chiming on the remaining hammers.
When these modern German clocks as sold, you get a bunch of guff about "heirlooms of the future", but in truth, no matter how fine a piece of furniture they are housed in, they are made like toaster ovens, and after about fifteen years of service, they are, well, toast. They are not amenable to the kind of restorations you can do on a clock made before the first world war, mostly because of metallurgical shortcuts.
Re: Clock Question
Also, if you don't mind a fellow clockmeister butting in... the answer to your question is "maybe." If you want to find out if it can resume normal operation as a chiming clock, an experienced clockmeister can do that for you. As Dmun states, there are limitations based on the quality and parts availability for some of the movements in those clocks. Sometimes they can; sometimes they can't. In some situations it is cheaper, easier, and a better long-term solution to replace the movement altogether with a new movement.

The word from the seats on 'Samson and Delilah'
The most important people have weighed in: the people in the seats Saturday night for the opening of San Diego Opera's "Samson and Delilah" at the Civic Theatre. The reports range from the production being one of the company's top three, to it being evidence that the San Diego Opera is over the hill. But of course they are different. We all bring our own experience, preconceptions, expectations and context to a performance (here's a link my review). Here are some comments from the people who matter most:
Silvia and Robert Metzger: A splendid production (that) we enjoyed greatly. Karen Keltner did a superb job (conducting) the opera and the cast was also "first class," including the chorus and the dancers.
From start to finish we were glued to our seats. The second act was so beautifully done and sung.
The costumes and sets were not "too classical," but just perfect.
Sorry for this all positive" review, but this is exactly the impression that last night's performance left us with...
Sharon Rearwin: My favorite part of the opera was the very classy ballet sequence in the third act. Both the choreography and execution was wonderful. I didn't know that could happen in SD. Alas, the tenor was sadly lacking, especially in the first act where he sounded as if he were strangling. He was much better in Act III but still. I had seen him in 2007 production and don't recall he was that bad. The Bulgarian mezzo (Nadia Krasteva) and the supporting roles were sung quite well, I thought. The set is excellent.
Gaby Sulpizio: Well done! Great sets and the voices were lovely, strong and clear. The well-known story is so easy to follow. Overall, a wonderful experience.
Susan Antonucci: The music was beautiful, the chorus was absolutely fabulous, the dancers exceptional, Delilah (Nadia Krasteva) was superb, but I must say Samson (Clifton Forbis) was not what I expected. He sounded very weak voiced and not the strong one that I would have hoped for. It pains me to be critical of an opera singer as it is a craft like no other and although I have not studied voice or music, as a member of the audience I was disappointed as the singing of Samson did not move me to a point of amour.
A special thanks to all of the cast and all of the workers to put on the show as I know they absolutely wanted the best for the show and the audience; it just didn't happen for me.
Dick Bridy: I have been a super in 23 San Diego Opera productions that ranged from terrific ("Carmen," 2006) to terrible ("Wozzeck," 2007). "Samson and Delilah" 2013 is in my top three.
Let me give you a behind the scenes perspective. "Samson and Delilah" was an opportunity that I will never forget. The cast was led by Lesley Koenig, a high energy director who had a positive way about her and a determination to get the most from every participant. The principals had a blast, they were engaging, funny, and gave everything they had at each rehearsal.

Ariana Jollee
Ariana Jollee If we're talking about huge filthy sluts, then we're definitely talking about Ariana Jollee! This spectacular brunette babe with a juicy 34C natural rack and breathtaking round ass was born under the name of Laura Jennifer David on September 29, 1982, in Long Island, New York. She confesses having being a very sexually precocious girl (she started watching porn at age 13 and got gangbanged for the first time when she was still in high school) and that she had always wanted to be a pornstar, that's why she started her own amateur solo website when she was about 20 years old. On March 19, 2003, an Anabolic/Diabolic's producer contacted her and asked her if she wanted to do porn with them, a proposal which she accepted with the enthusiasm of a slut who had just been told she was gonna get paid to get fucked gonzo style.
Ariana made her debut in the films "Nasty Girls 30" (released by Anabolic in 2003) and "Spring Chickens 4" (released by Diabolic in 2003) and since then she has taken part in more than 600 hundreds X-rated films. Her a vast and varied list of hardcore sex stunts include a 65 guys creampie and lots double anal scenes, stunt which she wants to outpass by shooting a triple anal scene! Making a quick glimpse at her large filmography, we can find many celebrated and bonerific titles, such as: "Narcassist" (released by Anarchy in 2004), which was also her directorial debut, "Double Time" (released by 3rd Degree in 2009), and "Bondage Girl-A-Go-Go" (released by JM Productions in 2011). Right now, this heart-stopping hazel-eyed beauty is working to be the biggest pervert she can be, and we all know she can get even filthier and sluttier because her freakness has shown no limits!

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Friday, November 16, 5:30 p.m. (ET)
FACTS & STATS: Site: TD Arena (5,100) -- Charleston, South Carolina.
Television: ESPN3.com. Home Record: SJU 1-0, MSU 1-0. Away Record: SJU 1-0,
MSU 0-0. Neutral Record: SJU 0-0, MSU 1-0. Conference Record: SJU 0-0, MSU
0-0. Series Record: First-ever meeting.
GAME NOTES: The Murray State Racers and St. John's Red Storm put their perfect
2-0 records on the line when they meet in the second round of the Charleston
Classic on Friday evening.
The winner of this contest will advance to the tournament final to play the
winner of the Baylor/Colorado showdown.
St. John's squared off with the tournament's host and defeated the College of
Charleston to improve to 2-0 on the young season. The Red Storm showed off
superior ball-handling skills with only six turnovers in the contest. St.
John's managed to hang on for a 77-74 win over Ray McCallum and the Detroit
Titans in the 2012-13 season opener. SJU coach Steve Lavin missed a lot of
last season as he recovered from prostate cancer. He returned to guide one of
the youngest teams in college basketball, which clearly has a huge upside.
The Racers stayed perfect through two games by completing a 79-59 rout of
Auburn in their first-round affair. Murray State drained 52.9 percent of its
field goal attempts and limited Auburn to 33.3 percent. Murray State took a
commanding 45-19 lead into halftime and never looked back. Steve Prohm is
hopeful to repeat the success he found in his first season as a head coach
when he guided MSU to a 31-2 overall record, the best start in school history,
and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Isaiah Canaan led the team through an in-
season tourney last year by scoring 36 points in the championship game of the
Great Alaska Shootout to propel the Racers past Southern Miss.
Lavin had well-documented issues with his star sophomore D'Angelo Harrison so
much in the preseason that he did not play Harrison in the team's exhibition
game and decided not to start him in the opener. Harrison heard the message
loud and clear and responded by scoring a game-high 22 points, 13 of which
were delivered in the final 8:24 to help SJU get past Detroit. The shooting
guard clearly has natural ability and managed to score a game-high 21 points
in Thursday's victory over the Cougars. Phil Greene IV has been solid as well
early on, posting totals of 31 points and 10 assists in 78 minutes of combined
action. SJU has a pair of solid forwards in Chris Obekpa and Amir Garrett. In
the season opener versus Detroit, Obekpa broke the school-record with eight
blocks in his collegiate debut, while Garrett posted his first career double-
double with 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Despite playing in the unheralded Ohio Valley Conference program, Canaan has
managed to make his name known in the college basketball world. The shifty
guard handles the ball, passes it, and scores at will. Canaan netted a team-
best 26 points in the recent win over Auburn. Senior forward Stacy Wilson
tallied a team-high 21 points on 50 percent shooting from the field in the
season opener before contributing 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the floor
versus the Tigers. Ed Daniel has provided 23 points, 13 rebounds and two
blocks in two games at the forward position. Freshman guard C.J. Ford could
see significant time alongside Canaan to give opposing defenses a different
look. UAB transfer Dexter Fields joined the program after netting 7.1 ppg for
the Blazers in 2010-11. He has made only three of his 12 field goal attempts
in MSUs first two games, but the high-energy guard has made plenty of plays as
While the Red Storm are playing at a very high level, Murray State is going to
be very difficult to take down. The lack of depth on SJU's bench will be
difficult to overcome for the Red Storm. Slowing down the Racers is going to
be nearly impossible with Canaan engineering the offense.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Murray State 75, St John's 69

Door (kind of)
4 Attachment(s)
This a project you can do using just a broken screw driver and a piece of string. :p I found out that working with metal is not really my thing... exact measurements only seem to happen to other people and wood or bricks are far more forgiving. I can tell you one thing, I'll not be unhappy if I never have to drill another hole in a piece of metal ever again!
As the whole thing is probably not going to stay entirely closed at the edges, I insulated with loose vermiculite - better that in the Pizza than errant crumbs of rockwool :eek: . Still, it'll be interesting to see how well it insulates compared to the aerated concrete I'm using as a door at the moment.
Most of it is aluminium, except for the handles and screws, which are some other kind of metal... ever since I read that post of Archena's about which metals go together and which attack each other, I've been aprehensive about using metal (will the screws attack the washers? Will the new knob cause the iron pot to disolve?)
So we'll see. At least it kept me occupied for a while, since I can't do any real work on the oven :rolleyes:
Re: Door (kind of)

And here's one more picture I took specially for George... :)
(I hope you notice that the label on the environment friendly shrimps exactly matches the colour of the wool.)
Re: Door (kind of)
I like the look of the door, tell us if the handles get warm. :)
Re: Door (kind of)
Wow! I love the door. Now I know you can do the rain cap for the chimney!
I'm blown away by the knitting. Gorgeous stuff Frances. Awesome colors. Something that I would have chosenfor myself.
I'm always amazed at the work that goes into these pieces, and the way that people make them for gifts. Hours of hard work just to please someone else. Amazing!
Re: Door (kind of)
Brilliant door Frances. Fit for purpose.
I had a vision the other night of a 'Fred Flintstone' effort made from framed 100mill/4inch Ytong block. On reflection it may be feasible. Easy to cut with a saw and attach screw-in handles.
I've got to start taking the medication again.................:rolleyes:
Re: Door (kind of)
Nice door....should be functional!
You could always bend down the last curl into a foot if it has any tendency to fall back. I'm guessing with so much steel handle away from the door, those outer handles might not get too hot. I'm curious too.
Inishta, keep taking the tablets....
Re: Door (kind of)
That door looks great. I suppose that should be my next project as I am getting tired of stacking and unstacking burning hot bricks. I'm thinking that door filled with vermiculite will hold the heat in nicely - let us know.
I loved the flintstones! What is ytong board? Sounds simple - I like that.
Re: Door (kind of)
Hi dusty.............ytong are autoclaved aerated concrete blocks. I've used them in my house build. 9"/150mm for exterior and 4"/100mm for internal walls and my nephew Richard is building a complete house with them. Kind of like a large lego set. They are lightweight and can be cut with a handsaw. I can post some photos if you are interested. I think Carl from England used them for insulation under his hearth. I also seem to remember that he did some heat tests on them. I'll see if I can find the thread.
Re: Door (kind of)
There you go .......................;)
Re: Door (kind of)
Thank you everybody!
I'll be firing up tomorrow (of course...:)) and I'll certainly let you know how the door performs.
Jim, this may be a really stupid question, but how would I best bend the curl down? Brute force? Heat it up? Hammer and anvil? I was going to prop it up, but that would be far more elegant...
Dusty, ytong board is a brand of aerated concrete. I've been using one for a while, insulation is quite good, the only thing is its rather crumbly. And its ugly (I think so anyway)... But who knows, maybe I'll be back to using it again by Sunday :rolleyes:
How were you going to frame the Ytong Inishta? I thought if you could put a thin metal rim all the way round the edges, it might stop bits getting knocked off all the time.
George, you make me blush :o !! I must say, I don't usually knit for other people. Well, unless they're really small. Or really really deserve it.

DUI on a bar stool
By Tony Hicks
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 at 7:42 am in Uncategorized.
I don't know where to even begin with this one. Police in Ohio recently arrested a man for DUI. Happens all the time. I won't say it's no big deal because, as you well know, people shouldn't be driving drunk. Only this guy was driving a motorized bar stool.
And if that isn't asking for it, crashing the bar stool and calling the cops on yourself sure is.
Sounds like someone wanted to go to jail real bad. That's like putting a bumper sticker on your car that says "Please pull me over as I've been drinking."

When I was 12 I killed a lion
That's ill but on the real you should chill with the lyin'
Making up stuff, the stuff I make up is so tough
Don't believe it but believe the nigga fucking you up
from Sean Price (Ft. Freddie Gibbs) – I Remember Lyrics on Genius
Sean Price is defending his often humorous and impressive exaggerated style of bragging.
The first line exemplifies one of Sean P's signature rapping techniques: a boldfaced boast not intended to be taken seriously.
In the second line, Sean Price takes on the perspective of someone listening to the first line. He is mocking the type of person who would respond to it with the complaint that he's not being "real" enough.
The third and fourth lines are Sean Price saying that he makes stuff up because it sounds cool, and that it shouldn't be taken seriously. And that regardless of whether he killed a lion at the age of 12, he would fuck you up in a fight.

Gary Stevens Hurt Working Horse at Saratoga
Former jockey Gary Stevens, a member of the National Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame, sustained a broken left collarbone when a horse he was working at Saratoga the morning of Aug. 15 collapsed and threw him to the track. He was treated at a Saratoga hospital.
According to Daily Racing Form, Stevens was working the 2-year-old Thatcatismine for Pletcher when the horse suffered a fatal internal injury and fell just a few strides past the finish line on the main track.
Pletcher told the publication that Thatcatismine died instantly from what he believes was either a heart attack or ruptured aorta. A final determination will be made once a necropsy is performed, Pletcher said.
Stevens eventually got up and left the main track under his own power but was later taken by a friend to Albany Medical Center to get examined, DRF reported. Stevens was later seen icing his injury in Pletcher's office.
A winner of 4,888 races, Stevens retired from riding in 2005 but still likes to exercise horses in order to keep himself in shape.

Lagos — After what seemed like a lull, armed militants believed to be members of the dreaded Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) have launched an attack on a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel belonging to Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC) at EA field, off the shore of Bayelsa State.
They kidnapped seven persons in the process.
A Shell Spokesman, Mr. Precious Okolobo, who confirmed the attack, said those taken hostage were four Nigerians, a Croatian, a Briton and one Russian, who are all contractors to the oil giant.
According to him, the contractors were carrying out maintenance work on the facility preparatory to when activities would resume when the militants struck last Saturday night.
The EA field with the capacity of producing 115,000 barrel per day has not been producing since the production from the Sea Eagle FPSO was suspended in February, last year.
Speaking with THISDAY on telephone last night, Okolobo stated that the weekend's attack had prompted the Royal Dutch company to evacuate its staff for safety reasons.
"We are concerned about the safety of the staff and our thoughts are with those taken away and their families at this difficult time. We are concerned about the safety of the staff of these contracting firms and wish they will be released safely on time. We are supporting efforts of government and their employees to secure their release," Okolobo said.
However, THISDAY checks have revealed that the abducted men were working for two firms, Hydro Dive and Reson Interoil, contracting for SPDC.
The expatriates taken hostage are Captain Theo Courtriers (Russia), Lee Mamamara (USA) and Mate Lusa (Croatia).
MEND has also vowed to map out strategies which would enable it hit at Angola and any of that country's interests in Nigeria for holding its Commander, Henry Okah, alias Jomo Gbomo, in criminal detention.
The group said Angola and its interests had become enemies of the Niger Delta.
There are conflicting information, however, since MEND in an online press release admitted that it carried out the attack but only acknowledged seizing the expatriates.
The group was silent on the four Nigerians said to have been held hostage as well
MEND which blamed the Angolan government for the resumption of the attack in a statement by the Commander of the operation; one Don Pedro, admitted taking three hostages from the attack which took place around 8.45pm Saturday night.
Information available to THISDAY said the militants swarmed the facility in over 30 speed boats armed to the teeth with assorted weapons which elicited no resistance from their victims before they took their preys away into the creeks.
"Yesterday, at about 8.45pm Nigerian time, combatants and operatives of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) successfully attacked an EA field vessel belonging to Shell Petroleum Development Company taking away three hostages," the online statement said.
"The names of the hostages are Capt Theo Courtriers (Russia), Lee Mcmamara (USA ) and Mate Lusa ( Croatia ).This campaign is in direct response to the insincerity of the Nigerian state and the international community to honour and respect the travails of the people of the Niger Delta and provide privilege to those who lead the agitation for a better Niger Delta.
"The Angolan government must therefore accept full responsibility for this onslaught. By holding in criminal detention a key stakeholder in the Niger Delta struggle, the government of Angola has crossed a line that they may never be able to go back on. For in due time, our campaigns will be strategically focused on Angolan concerns in Nigeria . We are building a list of these at the moment," the group warned.
Pedro insisted that Okah was being held in detention "with the connivance of the Nigerian government even when there was no evidence of any criminality against him.
"How warped? This madness will not be hurriedly forgotten. There will be no warnings for the things that we shall do in the time to come," Pedro said.
He claimed that the Angolan government had tried to rope in their leader in criminal offences, but the law courts of that country absolved him of all allegations and wondered why they were still keeping him in jail without any offence.

I am new
so everyone should be really nice, and talk to me on here. And help me figure out how to get lots of points and stuff.
I am very nice, and I am also pretty new to the whole Korn groove, so some of the stuff you guys talk about i am not quite privy to yet. But i am learning everyday.
Soooo... my favorite song so far is Clown. It gets stuck in my head everyday, lol... i dont mind. My favorite album is the first one... and I have been watching some Korn Documentaries, or whatever you would call them... just interviews and stuff, its crazy how much they have all grown and changed. It blows my mind.
This site is very confusing to me right now, i'm figuring it out tho, patience is key!! and you have all been very helpful. Not sure what i am supposed to blog about tho, but i heard it gets you points, and then people respond and you get friends.... so here is my first attempt. I probably should have looked at other people's blogs first tho.
Blind is probably my second favorite song. I really dig the video for it, jon is ridiculously cute in it. but, thats my opinion.
I am currently reading Save Me from Myself by Head, thats how this started for me... liking korn and all.... i wanted to learn about the people i was reading about, because generally when i am reading a book about actual people, it really puts it in a better more clear perspective if you are familiar with who you are reading about, and i came to like them very much.
You want to hear something really really funny? Though i had no clue of any korn songs before this... had no tv, no radio, and only relaly listened to music i was already familiar with, i had heard the song blind before... and back then i thought that the words were, "i can see, i can see i'm COLORBLIND" instead of GOING BLIND.... how dumb is that? then i heard the song for the first time actually knowing who sang it, and paying attention, and realized how dumb i was for thinking it said colorblind (i myself am colorblind, maybe it was subconscious)
thats all today!!

1/21/2014Simple yet powerful. Invulgo MindMapper allows a person to express ideas in whatever.sequennce they occur, then to later go back and organize and refine those ideas into a beautiful diagram which can communicate the ideas to others or aid one's own understanding of them. Although functionality is adequate for creating simple maps, there are functions which if added could greatly enhance the usefulness of the app. First, it would be useful to have "Search" capability, especially if it could be made downstream of a particular node. Also, functions allowing the export of a node and its descendents to a new mindmap and the import of a mind map as an overlay to a selected node would allow easy creation of much larger and more intricate mindmaps. As it is, however, this is a very useful app.
12/10/2012Also the ability to support Dropbox is a huge plus! Minus for not being a live tile.

6/15/2011Easy to use, useful. Need a way of sharing with PC.
6/4/2011Excellent, intuitive UI that really works with the small screen. Would like to be able to import/export to other mindmap formats, and would like ability to email maps and store maps in dropbox. Good start. Look forward to updates.
