A modern storyteller
Intellectual rigor and technical perfection are the basic features of Hussein Chalayan's fashion, now on show in Paris. That, for s/s 2012, recreates the effect of rapidity in a new sporty line
The most overused term to define Hussein Chalayan's fashion is 'futuristic'.
One of the items that best interprets such definition is the "Remote Control Dress", that with its structure made of shaped resin plates looks like it has come out of an aircraft factory. His rich production offers countless suggestions documented by the solo show 'Fashion Narratives', from July 5th to November 21st at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
The exhibition that develops over two floors, follows a thematic path. On the first floor the collections underline the creative process their relation with the social, political and religious context; on the second floor a strong element of the Turkish designer's creativity is highlighted: the concept of movement and rapidity. A concept which we also find in Urban Mobility, the s/s 2012 collection designed for Puma, where biker jackets with revolutionized volumes and colors evoking the Kabuki theater, are paired with shoes conceived to guarantee comfort, lightness and rapidity.
The fact he splits his time between his own label and a sporty collection shows the two sides of a designer who calls himself a storyteller, 'because you can truly tell a story with your creations.'

text: I used to drive a worker-driver bus shuttling people to the Bremerton Shipyard from the Shelton area. We had a lot of break-ins at the park and rides. The advise we received was to drive the ugliest car we could find, leave nothing in the car or trunk, remove the coil wire and roll down the windows. My advise to the deputy telling me all this was to get his ass out there more often and catch the low-lifes committing these crimes. Also, if a park and ride says they have survey cameras be very skeptical. Those signs are often a scare tactic and there are no survey cameras on the site.

THE densest objects in the universe have a new heavyweight champion: a pulsar that packs twice the mass of the sun into a body so small that it could nearly fit onto the island of Manhattan. The pulsar will be used to help test Einstein's theory of general relativity - but its very existence could put that theory in jeopardy.
Pulsars are rapidly spinning stellar corpses that sweep the sky with a beam of radio waves. The fastest pulsars are in binary systems paired with another object, like another star.
According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, which describes how gravity works, the two bodies excite strong ripples in space-time - gravitational waves - as they spiral towards each other. Studying pulsar binary systems could be a good way to spot the undetected waves and test the theories of general relativity.
Victoria Kaspi of McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and colleagues have now discovered the heaviest known pulsar - J0348+0432, which preliminary results suggest has a mass 2.04 times that of the sun. The old record was 1.97 solar masses.
J0348+0432 is in a tight binary orbit with a white dwarf just 0.172 times the mass of the sun. That mass disparity makes the pair useful for testing general relativity, says Kaspi.
But the pulsar's huge bulk could be at the limit of what general relativity predicts. Pulsars pack their sun-like masses into a ball no more than 24 kilometres across. Theories of how atoms collapse in such tight quarters predict that neutron stars can't grow much heavier than J0348+0432 or they will collapse into a black hole.
"2.04 solar masses is getting to the point that we'd have to check everything," says Feryal Özel of the University of Arizona, Tucson.
Kaspi presented the finding at the Harvard-Smithsonian Conference on Theoretical Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts on 14-17 May.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 12/20/12
Sam Bradford has never cared much for numbers and statistics. So the St. Louis Rams quarterback was surprised to find out he has been sacked in 30 successive games, the longest current streak in the NFL. ''That's great to know, thanks,'' he chuckled. Bradford, the top overall pick in the 2010 draft, has endured his share of bumps and bruises this season, having been sacked 35 times to tie the Bears' Jay Cutler for fifth highest in the NFL. Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers has gone down a league-high 45 times. On Sunday, Bradford was sacked four times for 32 yards in a 36-22 loss to Minnesota that all but eliminated the Rams from postseason contention. The last time the Oklahoma product escaped a game unscathed was Nov. 21, 2010, in a 34-17 loss to Atlanta. The sack string doesn't bother Bradford, although he would obviously like to see it end as soon as possible. The Rams (6-7-1) close the season on the road at Tampa and Seattle. ''When you don't get sacked in a game that means that...

Oct 15, 2012They did a great job with the visuals, music, and easy to understand tools for making your on simulated world. If you are looking for a game that will reward creative minds, then I recommend spending some time this weekend with Topia World Builder.
Oct 15, 2012Topia World Builder is as fine a toy as any videogame out there, and is just as deep as your imagination is prepared to travel. If you need at least some direction in your gaming, you may be frustrated before you uncover its wonders, but for those who are prepared to dig a little deeper the game has plentiful treasure to be unearthed.
Oct 19, 2012Topia World Builder is a game for those that want to play with a world of their own, that find joy in the process of creation rather than the structure or the output of the activity.
Oct 11, 2012If you're looking for a game with goals and challenges, look elsewhere. But if you like shaping and populating a gorgeous world, Topia has you covered.
Oct 14, 2012Right now it's not technically a game, but there's still a lot to like in Topia's world-building experiments.
Oct 15, 2012Topia World Builder has a lot of potential to be a creative and immersive interactive world-builder, but for now it's more 'time wasting' than 'time enriching'.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Breast Cancer Treatment With Chemotherapy
In this article
Side Effects of Breast Cancer Chemotherapy
Breast cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy destroy constantly dividing cancer cells. But they also may affect healthy cells. Medicines used with self-help methods can help ease many of these side effects. It is important to tell your doctor if you are having any problems with these or other side effects not listed:
- Nausea and vomiting, either the day of treatment, or more commonly, several days after treatment. Nausea on the day of treatment is usually well-controlled, but delayed nausea is harder to manage.
- Loss of appetite.
- Fatigue.
- Mouth soreness.
- Hair loss. Whether the hair falls out all at once, gradually, or not at all depends on what drugs are given.
- Weight gain.
- Premature menopause. If you are planning to have children, you should discuss this with your doctor before starting chemotherapy, as there may be ways to prevent your periods from stopping or to save ovary tissue.
- Lowered resistance to infections. Many chemotherapy drugs lower the white blood cell counts in the week or so after treatment. If the blood counts are very low, then an infection can be dangerous.
- Increased bleeding. Many chemotherapy drugs also lower the platelet counts. Platelets are the body's first line of defense in blood clotting. If the platelet counts are very low, little red spots start to appear on the body. You may bruise or bleed easily, even without any trauma. If this occurs, your doctor needs to be informed.
For more information about these side effects, see Side Effects of Cancer Drugs and Radiation.
Recognizing a Cancer Emergency
Your doctor and the chemotherapy nurse will let you know what situations would be considered an emergency based on the specific treatment you receive. However, if you have any of the following warning signs, tell your doctor immediately:
- A temperature greater than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. If you experience any fever and chills, notify your doctor immediately. If you are unable to contact your doctor, go to the emergency room.
- New mouth sores or patches, a swollen tongue, or bleeding gums.
- A dry, burning, scratchy, or "swollen" throat.
- A cough that is new or persistent and produces mucus.
- Changes in bladder function, including increased frequency or urgency to go, burning during urination, or blood in your urine.
- Changes in gastrointestinal function, including heartburn, nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea that lasts longer than two or three days.
- Blood in stools.

Afraid of commitment
Maybe he had read your posts & is scared of you Lol
Most likely because he is enjoying all the advantages of being married to you without any of the legal entanglements that a marriage would impose on him. So many younger adults play house and seem surprised when marriage is no longer part of the deal.<br />
I know of course that marriage is not of a necessity but being legally bound allows any collective assets to be divided equally when and if the relationship sours as 50% of them do according to statistics.
True!....A perfect solution, but how many do take advantage of any legal entanglements.
I think that is a bad sign. Don't marry what you wouldn't do.
hmmm..... maybe u aint fluffy enuf for him!

The origins of the ICGN stem from the convergence of corporate governance initiatives in North America and Europe during the mid 1980s. The idea of setting up the ICGN was initially discussed at a meeting of the Council of Institutional Investors in 1994. The ICGN was formally founded on 29 March 1995 in Washington DC when the first meeting was chaired by Professor William Crist of Calpers.
Today the ICGN is a global membership organisation of 500 leaders in corporate governance based in over 50 countries. In 2008 the Network was formally constituted as a company limited by guarantee and employs a full time dedicated secretariat.
An account of the founding of the ICGN is described below by Stephen Davis, an ICGN Member.
"Would the meeting please come to order."
It was 8:45 am on March 29 1995, and Bill Crist was looking around the Riverview conference room at the Watergate Hotel, a modern complex curled along Washington, DC's Potomac River. Some 49 people—nearly all strangers to each other—had assembled around a table and on chairs against the walls.
The six-hour meeting would prove a tipping point.
It would not only inaugurate a new organization, but begin an era of increasingly routine communication among institutional investors with trillions of dollars on issues of corporate governance. For now, though, this was an exploratory session. Crist, President of California's big CalPERS civil service retirement system, was serving as moderator, and his first order of business was to see if the delegates before him, most from big global funds, could find enough common ground to select a name for a proposed new enterprise.
The Watergate meeting was the culmination of parallel trends—and work by individual proponents—in the ten countries represented in the room. By 1995, US public pension funds had experienced a decade of shareowner activism. They had established their own collective body in the Council of Institutional Investors (CII). More than a year earlier, in 1993, executive director Sarah Teslik had asked staffer Matthew Aiello to approach all those who were involved in corporate governance outside the US. His mission was to test whether an appetite existed for global collaboration. Teslik had responded to Crist, who had been pressing to find global means to amplify the voice of CalPERS and other funds.
Innovation and exchange of ideas across borders
The new focus on investor activism was inspired by a pioneering project on institutional investment at Columbia University led by Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP senior partner Ira Millstein. Likewise Millstein's path-breaking work in the corporate sector with General Motors and other major US corporations, as well as the Business Roundtable, laid the foundations for corporate governance best practice in the US. Millstein, one of the most prominent corporate governance advocates, would soon chair the Business Sector Advisory Group, producing crucial groundwork for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Principles of Corporate Governance.
Corporate governance was indeed a live issue elsewhere. In the UK, the Robert Maxwell scandal had given rise to Sir Adrian Cadbury's broad-based committee, and a pace-setting corporate governance code. Richard Regan at the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and Geoff Lindey at the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) had been fully involved in such work. Through the 1990s, Cadbury and successor codes would result in sweeping change in the way British corporations were run. Now Regan and Lindey were at the Watergate. Cadbury and Millstein, with Professor Hasung Jang were to be recognised for their worldwide leadership when they received the inaugural ICGN corporate governance award in 2001.
Months before Cadbury, Ann Fitzgerald's Irish Association of Investment Managers had crafted its own similar code. Swiss investor André Baladi had begun promoting international collaboration on corporate governance. The Pension Investment Association of Canada (PIAC) had produced corporate governance standards in 1993 under its director, Keith Douglas. French employers were on the eve of issuing their own set of governance principles developed by Marc Viénot's committee while AFG, the trade association of French asset managers, was assembling a corporate governance committee which would later publish the 'Hellebuyck code.'
Ian Matheson, executive director of the Australian Investment Managers' Association was writing the group's Blue Book governance guidelines with Corporate Governance International's Sandy Easterbrook. He was fresh from battles with News Corp., which had attempted to create unequal share voting rights.
In South Africa, Mervyn King's panel would shortly produce its own historic contribution, melding governance with corporate social responsibility. In Japan, the Corporate Governance Forum, founded in 1993, was beginning work on its first code of best practices, issued in 1997. Brazil's Bengt Hallqvist was about to launch the Instituto Brasileiro de Governança Corporativa, the first body in Latin America dedicated to corporate governance. Hasung Jang was building PSPD's Participatory Economic Committee as a force for shareowner advocacy in Korea. Meanwhile, Italy's Assogestioni, the fund management association, and Sweden's Aktiespararna, the investor group, were looking for international help as they expanded shareowner voices in their markets. And Mats Isaksson, Rolf Skog and others had founded Sweden's Corporate Governance Forum in December 1994.
Many of these organizations were now represented in the Riverview Room. But until then few had been in regular touch with each other, or known much of each others' progress.
The beginnings of shareholder activism
Only two services routinely monitored cross-border corporate governance for funds with international portfolios. In 1988, Stephen Davis had written a seminal book comparing corporate governance and shareowner activism in major markets, and had founded a consortium of institutional investors to sponsor first-ever global coverage at the Investor Responsibility Research Center (IRRC). Howard Sherman had followed three years later by establishing a similar unit at Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), headed by governance architect Robert A.G. Monks, widely regarded as a pioneer of shareholder activism and Nell Minow.
Services covering shareowner activism such as Easterbook's had arisen, too, in several countries, and they were assembled that spring morning in Washington. PIRC, co-managed by Alan MacDougall and Anne Simpson, later ICGN's first executive director, had spearheaded governance and social responsibility screening of UK companies. Pierre-Henri Leroy had founded Proxinvest, based in Paris, a few years earlier. Sophie L'Hélias, also in Paris, was representing institutional investors on corporate governance. So was Dario Trevisan, from a law firm in Milan.
Innovators at all these institutions had come to recognize that international cooperation could accelerate progress they could make at the national level. But drawing together the ICGN's founding 49 for a March breakfast in Washington would take not only the opportune convergence of institutional interests, but dogged behind-the-scenes work from key dedicated individuals.
André Baladi, for one, had long crusaded for the creation of a global body to advance corporate governance reform. He had founded the International Shareholder Defence Association in Geneva in 1989. Baladi developed the concept further through visits to CalPERS, IRRC, ISS, the New York City pension funds and TIAA-CREF in the US, as well as to both ABI and NAPF in the UK. He delivered speeches on the subject on both sides of the Atlantic, including at the CII's spring 1990 meeting and at The Economist's December 5-6 1991 International Corporate Governance Conference in London.
In 1993, when Council of Institutional Investors' staffer Aiello started to explore prospects for global cooperation, he contacted Stephen Davis at IRRC. Along with Baladi and ISS's Sherman, Davis was one of the few who already knew most of the emerging international players in corporate governance. The two met for lunch at Washington's Tabard Restaurant on October 14, where Davis proposed a plan for a global equivalent of the CII and provided names of prospective investor co-founders. Aiello returned to Teslik and Crist with a memorandum outlining the idea.
Seeing a path forward, Crist conducted several conference calls in the months before Washington with Douglas, Fitzgerald, Lindey, Matheson and Regan. That informal steering group gave Aiello a mandate to assemble a meeting to found what the CII had tentatively dubbed the 'International Corporate Governance Organization.'
The 49 delegates sitting around the Riverview Room did not know precisely what to expect from the session. "I thought there was a need, and that the people in the room would figure it out," recalls Lukomnik. But there was "a general sense of optimism that this was a very worthwhile and important effort," Howard Sherman remembers. "It was also a treat to be around so many like-minded people. While corporate governance today is accepted as an important component of the investment process by a growing number of market participants, it was still very much in the vanguard in 1995."
The turning point
Crist's first agenda item—to agree on a name for a new collaborative body—proved a proxy for how far group members then felt prepared to go. The new body would be principally designed to share information, most asserted, not to set joint international principles. So participants rejected the word 'organization' as too ambitious. 'Federation' was considered. So was 'council' and 'forum.' Finally, following an epic two-hour discussion, Pierre-Henri Leroy (left) of Proxinvest suggested International Corporate Governance Network, and delegates voted 19 to 10 in favour, with the rest abstaining. The ICGN was born.
"We may not have known then what it would lead to," recalls IRRC (later Hermes) governance expert Corinna Arnold, "but never again would governance be seen from a purely parochial perspective. That was a true turning point."
Wary of handing any one existing organization controlling influence over the group, speakers found consensus that administrative responsibilities should be shared, with only token costs assessed to members. They named Douglas and Regan the first co-chairs, asked PIAC to maintain a common member list and a roster of governance documents, and tapped UK colleagues to host the next annual meeting in London.
Arriving back home in California, Crist hand-designed interim stationery with clipart from his Macintosh computer, and used it to nominate a small coordinating committee to plan the London event, set for June 1996. He selected CalPERS board member Robert Carlson, Ian Court of Australia's Conference of Major Superannuation Funds, Douglas, Lindey, Birgit Malmenstam-Skytt of Aktiespararma, Matheson, Regan and John Richardson of the Laborer's International Union of North America. Crist, with Aiello at the CII and Regan's staff at the ABI, handled much of the preparatory work, all without charge. The ABI, in fact, absorbed all ICGN administrative costs without charge until May 2000, when the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators was appointed as paid secretariat. But it was not until the 1997 annual meeting in Paris, hosted by the SBF Paris Bourse, that members adopted procedures for an elected board.
That first Board of Governors comprised Crist, Douglas, Marvin Hrubes of the United Food & Commercial Workers Union, Kim Johnson of the Colorado Public Employees' Retirement System, Malmenstam-Skytt, Matheson and Regan. Hrubes, one of the most influential architects of the ICGN died in 2002.
Developing the Founding Principles
The ICGN's appetite for acting as something much more than an information-sharing network swelled far more quickly than members at the Watergate Hotel might have predicted when the majority emphatically rejected playing a collective role as standard-setter. Founding Principles drafted by Keith Douglas, which members provisionally adopted on June 26 1996 at London's Mount Royal Hotel, authorized the ICGN to engage in "the development of corporate governance guidelines." And, just one year later, delegates at the George V Hotel in Paris agreed to generate standards of best practice in share voting and governance in general. The Cross-Border Voting Committee, first chaired by Davis, by then at Davis Global Advisors, and Regan, produced a text adopted at the 1998 annual meeting in San Francisco. Baladi and Lukomnik chaired a first Working Group on Global Corporate Governance Principles.
With help from Caroline Phillips of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, later head of the ICGN Secretariat, Leo Goldschmidt of EASD and Davis, it produced global governance guidelines adopted at the 1999 meeting in Frankfurt complementing the recently issued OECD principles. ICGN's guidelines were finalised by a committee with Peter Dey in the chair. These achievements came under the chairmanship of TIAA-CREF's Peter Clapman, who succeeded co-chairs Regan and Douglas. Still later, Alastair Ross Goobey, former chief executive of Hermes who sadly died in 2008, chaired a taskforce focusing on principles of executive remuneration before taking over the chair from Clapman.
Networking through the annual conference
Though the ICGN evolved rapidly as an advocate of best practices, the group's central identity in early years was as the convenor of the world's most international annual conference on corporate governance. Attendees relied on the event to connect with others in the new field, to exchange ideas, do business, and strengthen ties born of common pressures, obstacles and gains. ICGN meetings spawned various associations to institutionalise cross-border cooperation among funds.
Nell Minow volunteered services of The Corporate Library to establish an early internet presence for the ICGN so that conference and working documents could be accessed worldwide. But the conferences themselves absorbed enormous volunteer time, effort and resources from paid-up members and an extended family of ICGN supporters. André Baladi was instrumental in identifying sites for the conferences, and persuaded stock exchanges—initially the SBF Paris Bourse and Deutsche Börse—to host ICGN events. These acts set a pattern of ICGN partnership with stock exchanges as sponsors.
From the Network's earliest days, two objectives animated all planning. First, program committees selected topics and speakers to draw the widest possible geographic representation and ICGN membership—particularly as governance reform spread throughout the world. Second, both the annual event and the growing between-conferences work program stressed the ICGN's primal mission of protecting the rights of shareowners in corporate governance around the world "so that economies can best prosper," as the 1999 ICGN Principles statement put it.
An enduring legacy
The ICGN's perseverance is due in large measure to the core of global funds and other financial institutions—representing more than $15 trillion in assets on the 10th anniversary of the founding meeting—that sustain it. The organization is also the legacy of many individuals—those working in civil service funds, trade unions, professional associations, as private investors, service providers or corporate officials—who have devoted untold energy to its success in the decade following Crist's March 29 1995 call to order in Washington. "The Network owes its existence to many dedicated individuals," sums up former chairman Alastair Ross Goobey. "As always, success has a thousand fathers, but I am confident that this narrative accurately reflects the various contributions made, for which we, following in the wake of the pioneers, will remain eternally grateful."

HuffPost Live Appearance: John Hawkins vs. 5 Liberals On Class Warfare
Yesterday, I did a HuffPost Live segment called, "Us Vs. Them: From Bain Capital to the 47%, the Obama campaign became an extended argument about economic class. Has politics become a class war?"
It was truly an US vs. Them segment with me going toe-to-toe with 4 liberal guests. Granted, that wasn't fair, but they already had a three person advantage and if they added another 2-3 people, I still don't think it would have evened it up for their side.

I Thought The Hodgson Trade Was Suppose To Make Us Better For The Playoffs
Posted 17 April 2012 - 05:58 AM
Sig too big. -SN
Posted 17 April 2012 - 06:06 AM
Grags is a scratch and Kassian just has not really been effective and our PP has suffered with out Hodgson since the deal .
Like i have said from day one this deal was one to be made in the off season if at all .
I still get worked up about this trade. I utter shock of myself when I saw it, much like Bieksa's face when he was asked about it on HNIC my face drops to the floor. This is a huge trade, more than just losing a kid with unreal potential. This totally screwed with our chemistry, not to mention our second PP unit. They showed the kid how to be a professional, how to dress even. In videos he almost seemed to be the little brother to the guys on the team. So maybe the trade needed to happen but like the OP says, in the offseason if at all.
Damn you MG.

Hodgson wasn't given a chance - remember all the "ice time" threads?
And Tanev only got better cause he was with MacTavish in Chicago all year. No reason that he shouldn't have been playing with the big club, saving Salo for the end game... but no... now Salo looks dead tired and slow.
Kassian showed potential first few games - he showed glimpses of what he could be if given a chance.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 08:46 AM
No, what bothered me about the trade was Gillis' whole "We are emmulating the Detroit model." If that's the case, Detroit would have never given up on Hodgson; instead, they would have managed his reported unhappiness. Kassian is a good kid and a force on the ice, but how often are teams looking for a number 1 centre? I guarantee that Babcock and co. would have created an environment that would have made it possible for Sedin, Kesler, and Hodgson to co-exist.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 08:47 AM
The fact Gillis traded away Hodgson for another prospect and not a playoff-proven vet should've gave everyone a big clue on what our expectations should've been for these playoffs. Cheers.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 09:47 AM
Imagine how awesome this team would be if it had kept Grabner and Hodgson? The offensive power would be deadly. They are giving away too many valuable prospects and getting jack s**t in return except a waste of cap space. And Gillis should have definitiely kept Torres and at least have tried a little harder to find a way to keep Ehrhoff. If I recall the negotiations ended rather abruptly, and it makes me wonder if Gillis gave up too quickly. Puck moving d men of his calibre dont come around often and he was so important to the power play. Then Bitz and Duco would fit nicely on the 4th line with Lapierre and provide the needed grit and toughness, and then all they would need to focus on is finding another good solid defenseman and they would be set. Presto, there you have a real contender.
Here's an even better imaginary scenario:
Dave Nonis doesn't screw up the 2006 entry draft and picks the 6'4" 220lbs centre Patrik Berglund instead of Grabner.
The 2008 entry draft rolls around and Gillis has his future #1 centre already (Berglund) so he drafts the 6'8" 227lbs defenceman Zdeno Chara, I mean, Tyler Myers to replace the recently deceased 6'3" 210lbs defenceman Luc Bourdon instead and the Sabres pick Hodgson at #12.

Kassian.... Taylor Pyatt 3.0
Lies. He's more of a Steve Bernier. Hopefully his talent level goes up so he can become like a Taylor Pyatt.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:10 PM
It was a team1040 radio interview with Gillis but that is not actually a direct quote and I put the obstruction answer as part of the answer to that question when in fact the interviewer (BMac iirc) asked a follow up question about whether or not the league was purposely not calling hooking/holding pims. The only part that is verbatim is, "Did you do this begrudgingly?" and the emphatic "Yes. I believe offensive hockey..."
This link references the interview it looks like.
It is not my intent to get in circular arguments with anybody. The reason i have avoided saying anything specific is because i know you or someone else will attempt to find an alternate explanation to my points which i intern will have to defend. I see no point in getting involved with the circular argument that is already well under way in this thread. I simply intended to voice my opinion on the subject. In the end either you accept the possibility of corruption and conspiracy or you don't.
Also i find your comments to be very childish. Does taking what i say out of context, paraphrasing and misquoting it make you feel good about yourself? Grow up.
Logic at its finest.

Thread: Kerf marks
09-25-2000, 11:30 AM #1Dennis Loeffler Guest
Kerf marks
What is the cause of circular kerf marks when ripping?
I have a Makita 2702(? the 8 1/4") with a Rousseau stand
09-27-2000, 11:30 AM #2jim blodgett Guest
Re: Kerf marks
Well, first off, virtually ALL blades, on ALL saws leave kerf marks. True, some are deeper than others, and I have seen blades advertised that you can glue the joint without jointing it, but I've never seen one cut good enough to do that.
I think the better the blade, the truer the teeth are in relation to each other. That is, as each tooth comes around, it is directly behind the tooth in front of it and cuts exactly the same amount of material, in exactly the same plane. When you see real prominant marks, you could have a few teeth cutting slightly wider than the rest.
Another thing that can affect the quality of edge is any wobble in the blade, which can be the result of a saw that has loose bearings, or a misaligned shaft.
I dropped my subscription to Fine Woodworking some years ago, but they often had articles about truing your saw. I'd think that would be a real good place to start. They probably run an article like that every couple of years.
10-11-2000, 04:05 PM #3Joe Duket Guest
Re: Kerf marks
Although I've not tried this, I read once that if you adjust your blade approximately 1/32" further from the rip fence at the rear, it prevents kerf marks on your ripped stock. The leading edge of the blade would do the cutting, but the rear portion of the blade would not bind against the stock.

The Great White (Water) Way: Information on where to go, what to bring and what to wear when you go out on a rough river
Plan your way to a more adventurous (and wet) vacation in the great outdoors
If you feel like your vacations are becoming a list of "been there, done thats," why not add a little something to make it all the more memorable? Don't be rash — there is no need to swim with the sharks. Whitewater rafting can provide lots of excitement for us thrill-seekers looking to the great outdoors for a great vacation.
The Basics
Before your little tootsies hit that refreshing, fast-flowing, cool river water, do a little studying. Do you know the difference between a keeper and a smoker? It could mean the difference between hitting a rock or hitting a rapid. Rafting has a whole dialog of its own, so brush up on the vocabulary. Know what you are getting into. Whitewater is based on a measurement of class levels that run from level I through level VI. Basic rafters stick to class I-III; more advanced rafters can go all the way up to class VI.
Where to Go
As long as there is a hefty amount of water, a strong current, and a varied underwater surface, a-raftin' we shall go. There are some great places in the United States on both the East Coast and the West Coast. If you feel like taking it a step further, there are also hot rafting spots around the globe that will satisfy your every whitewater dream. Trips can last from one day to several weeks, depending on the location that you choose and the outfitter that you decide to go with.
What to Bring
If you enjoy lazily drifting down a river, watching the world go by with little chance of a splash of water touching you, this is not your sport. One thing's for sure, and that is that you will get wet. In order to protect yourself from the elements, there is outdoor gear you might want to buy.
For all rafting trips, no matter what length of time you spend on the river, you will want to make sure to pack the following items:
* Suntan lotion
- Hat with chin strap
- Sunglasses with head strap
- Gloves
- Socks
- Water shoes (like sneakers or river sandles)
- Layering clothes that dry easily and keep you warm even when they are damp (synchilla, polarplus, wool, fleece, capilene)
- Swimsuit
- Water bottle
- Someplace to put your keys that will be safe (Some have recommended getting a magnetic hide-a-key and placing it somewhere on your car.)
- Waterproof rain jacket
- Waterproof camera, or a camera in a waterproof pouch
If your trip is taking place during a cooler season, you'll want to see about renting a wet suit. For overnight trips, packing "light and tight" is the key. Most outfitters will provide a waterproof bag for your gear, but make sure to pack your items in a sturdy duffel bag. Don't forget to pack a flashlight and insect repellent.
When to Go
The question, "When is the optimal time to go rafting?" can only be answered after you've decided where you want to go. If you're in the United States, most outfitters will run between May and August. Some start as early as April and end as late as October. The run dates will be completely dependent on the river. If you're one of those adventurous spirits who travel wherever the river will take them, river runs can start in November and go through March. China and Chile both offer tours during these times. h. China and Chile both offer tours during these times.

I don't mind bicyclists on the road, but I wish they would use common sense when picking their route.
Recently I was out riding and crested a hill in a left hand sweeper only to be confronted by a wall of spandex heading my way IN MY LANE.
I spotted a gap large enough to fit my DR through, steered deeper into the turn, missed the first wave then straightened it up and got on the binders in time to miss the now panicking second wave (who were also IN MY LANE).
This road is two lane, has some nice turns and elevation changes with a 55mph limit, I was riding legal and not trying to burn down the road.
About a quarter mile on down the road I watched as even more stragglers bunched up... looked to me like they were intentionally blocking traffic from passing. TN law limits them to the right 1/3 of the lane, single file and they are required to facilitate passing when safe by using the shoulder, this road has (clean)shoulders at least as wide as the lanes.
From here on out, I think I like OFC's method... wish my bike was diesel!

The staff has experience with food allergies in their family. They can make about two thirds of the menu with gluten free ingredients. They have a separate fryer for allergy safe items. All that and the food is delicious too. I've had at least six different entrees and loved them all.
Delicious and awesome staff! :)
Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about gluten.. It was nice to be able to dine out and eat almost anything on the menu.
great food. They know what gluten free means. Very nice friendly staff
Awesome service and very knowledgeable about Celiac. Even table chips are gluten free. Loved it!
Very nice waitress!! Very knowledgeable about menu options for gluten free meals. Service was quick even though she was the only waitress serving people in the afternoon. Food was great. My daughter was very happy that she could have fried ice cream for desert. We will definitely go there again. It is located behind Family Dollar store.
What an amazing place. Friendly and KNOWLEDGABLE staff and extensive GFree options. Food was wonderful. Hidden gem in Belleville! Even if you're passing through (as I was) I highly recommend it.
The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Our waitress took the time to explain their procedures. They really pride themselves on being allergy friendly and take their customers health seriously! I would highly recommend it and will definitely be going back!
