Baffling boxy bulge
When targeting spiral galaxy bulges, astronomers often seek edge-on galaxies, as their bulges are more easily distinguishable from the disc. This exceptionally detailed edge-on view of NGC 4710 taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard Hubble reveals the galaxy's bulge in the brightly colored center. The luminous, elongated white plane that runs through the bulge is the galaxy disc. The disc and bulge are surrounded by eerie-looking dust lanes.
When staring directly at the center of the galaxy, one can detect a faint, ethereal "X"-shaped structure. Such a feature, which astronomers call a "boxy" or "peanut-shaped" bulge, is due to the vertical motions of the stars in the galaxy's bar and is only evident when the galaxy is seen edge-on. This curiously shaped puff is often observed in spiral galaxies with small bulges and open arms, but is less common in spirals with arms tightly wrapped around a more prominent bulge, such as NGC 4710.
NGC 4710 is a member of the giant Virgo Cluster of galaxies and lies in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices (the Hair of Queen Berenice). It is not one of the brightest members of the cluster, but can easily be seen as a dim elongated smudge on a dark night with a medium-sized amateur telescope. In the 1780s, William Herschel discovered the galaxy and noted it simply as a "faint nebula". It lies about 60 million light-years from the Earth and is an example of a lenticular or S0-type galaxy – a type that seems to have some characteristics of both spiral and elliptical galaxies.
Astronomers are scrutinizing these systems to determine how many globular clusters they host. Globular clusters are thought to represent an indication of the processes that can build bulges. Two quite different processes are believed to be at play regarding the formation of bulges in spiral galaxies: either they formed rather rapidly in the early Universe, before the spiral disc and arms formed; or they built up from material accumulating from the disc during a slow and long evolution. In this case of NGC 4710, researchers have spotted very few globular clusters associated with the bulge, indicating that its assembly mainly involved relatively slow processes.

Highway 61 and Summers Drive will be the site of a new Dorchester District Two combo school complex where Elementary School #2 and Rollings Middle School will share a campus.
Elementary School #1 will be sited on the Pine Trace property near the Coastal Resource Center.
The site for Elementary School #3 is still under negotiation and won't be released for a few weeks, said DD2 Board of Trustees Chair Gail Hughes at a press conference Wednesday.
No longer under consideration is The Ponds site because of seismic and wetland issues, Hughes said.
Board of Trustee Members Sam Clark, Charlie Stoudenmire, Hughes, Superintendent Joe Pye, Capital Improvements Manager Belinda Cagle, Capital Improvements Facilitator Robert Folkman and Director of Business Services Allyson Duke were all on hand Wednesday to answer questions and explain the district's plans for the $179 million building project approved by voters last November.
In siting a school at the new East Edisto planned community, and using the combination school prototype, DD2 will save more than $3 million in design and construction costs as well as operating costs. Although completely separate, the elementary school and the middle school will share a cafeteria, parking and other services, saving the district money.
Further, MeadWestvaco donated the land on which the campus will be built, with the understanding that the district could use as much land as needed.
In addition, MeadWestvaco has also donated $2.5 million to the district to build a larger auditorium than originally planned that can be used by the community as well as the district. A thousand-seat auditorium is now planned.
With an eye to the future, MeadWestvaco has talked about plans to build more community schools within its development as it grows that would be paid for by MeadWestvaco, but run by the district. The development has plans to build 6,500 new homes, noted Stoudenmire.
The district purchased the Pine Trace land two years ago from the county for about $500,000. The district is currently hoping to purchase more land from the state Coastal Resource Center to combine with the Pine Traces allowing for a decent size campus that could include playing fields, etc.
The Pine Trace elementary school will copy the design of the Joseph Pye Elementary thereby saving the district the expense of a new design.
The combo school will copy the prototype Eagle Nest Elementary/River Oaks Middle School design albeit with a much larger auditorium.
The district, says Hughes, has struggled with finding land in a timely manner. The county, she says, seems to be running out of large tracts of land where schools are needed.
Once the site for Elementary School #3 is finalized and the four new schools built, the district will have realized 3,000 new seats. The schools should open in 2015.
However, at the current rate of growth, the district could well be facing the same issues in 2015, after gaining 3,000 seats, as it does now.
For one thing, many of those seats are already earmarked for district children currently learning in mobile "cottage" classrooms in the Knightsville, Newington and Flowertown Elementary Schools.
"The Knightsville Elementary School was the project of the WPA during the Roosevelt administration and was built for 600 kids. It now houses 1,400, the board said.
Pye told those in attendance that if the district went to a community school model (400 to 500 children per school), as some community members have suggested, the district would, right now, have to build 20 new schools – a cost the voters can't afford,
Further, if they plan 10 years in advance and build to anticipate growth, it would cost upwards of $250 million.
The district is planning a series of community meetings to bring interested voters up to date on progress, let them know why the sites were chosen and get input from the community at large. These meetings will begin within the next few weeks they said.
"We want the community to have ownership of these schools," said Hughes, "both the new schools and the renovated ones. We want to hear what it [the community] thinks will work and what won't."
"We want to thank all the people who did all the hard work to bring the referendum to a winning vote and all the voters who understood the need and voted for it," Hughes continued.
We are being cautious and responsible stewards of your money, she concluded.

The Truth About Ball Flight
Why things happen the way they do in the golf swing
Labels: Instruction, Iron Play, Ballstriking, Full Swing, Slicing
|This Article Features Photo Zoom
Here's the rub, folks. No disrespect to those who conduct those swing analyses on television, but sometimes what you hear and what you see isn't actually the truth behind what's happening on screen. You see, a slow-motion swing certainly shows a lot. I actually like using slow-motion with my lessons. But what a slow-motion camera doesn't show is why things happen the way they do in the golf swing. Even slowed down, you can't see things with the human eye that a TrackMan can see. "What things?" you ask. Turn the page to find out.
How many of you have heard this one before? "To fix a slice, you have to square or close your clubface at impact." I'm here to tell you that if you've been on the receiving end of such advice, you've been fed some bad medicine! The reality is this: The angle of the face is the primary indicator for the initial direction the ball is going to fly. So, yes, you do want to have some control over how the face is aligned at impact. But shutting it closed isn't necessarily the right course of action. You can sometimes square that clubface perfectly with the target at impact, or even have a closed clubface at impact, and still hit a big, nasty slice! I'll bet the real problem with your slice is that the path your clubhead travels on is too much from outside-to-inside the target line. Squaring or closing the face at impact will only add some initial leftward ballflight to your shot, but it will do little to counteract your slice if you don't fix your big, outside-to-inside swingpath first. And in the rare occasion where attempting to square your face at impact actually happens, what kind of shot do you usually hit? That's right, a dead pull to the left. Sound familiar?
So what's the right way to fix a slice with your driver? Start learning to swing the club more from inside your target line to outside the target line. That's one of the most important steps to killing a slice! It's not in flipping the hands over, like so many instructors have maybe inadvertently told you. The goal in slice-fixing is to get the ball to have less backspin tilt to the right (sidespin is actually backspin on a tilt, folks), and doing that requires you to swing the club from inside-out with a clubface angle that's slightly closed relative to that path.
Did you catch that last part? Don't worry, the next page explains what clubface angle is all about and just how much it matters.

All the standard taco toppings on a pizza, customized to your tastes... delicious as it is bad for you. So you should probably share so you don't eat it all yourself. :D
Step 1: Ingredients!
- pizza crust of your choice - or you can even make them on pitas, tortillas, naan - your choice!
- refried beans
- ground beef, crumbled chorizo OR black beans
- salsa
- taco seasoning - buy it or make your own!
- shredded cheese
- additional toppings of your choice - jalapenos, black olives, lettuce, onions, sour cream, tomatoes, etc.
Step 2: Prep your crust!
I bought my dough frozen, so I had to let it hang out from defrosting in the fridge and come to room temperature and rise a bit. :)
Step 3: Prep the veggies!
Go ahead and cut up whatever you'll be putting on the pizza as it bakes. I'm doing olives, jalapenos and onions. :D
Chop them to whatever size you like!
Step 4: Cook the meat or beans, preheat the oven.
Throw your proteins in a pan with your taco seasoning and cook cook cook until delicious.
If you're doing any kind of meat, make sure you drain the fat off before you put in the seasoning - it'll make the finished product awful slimy. ;)
I'm baking my pizza at 450 F, so I'll set the oven to that now!
Step 5: Spice/microwave the refried beans!
I highly recommend adding some chili powder and/or cumin to your refried beans. Most of them just don't have enough flavor on their own.
I'd say I did about a 1/2 T of both. Mix them in and microwave for a minute or so... it'll make it easier to spread on the crust!
i can die happily eating this :D

Meredith: Slaon did a great job.
Nikki Gibson: I was heading home. I was on my way to the airport. And then, you no you asked before why I came back the first time? You know I tried not to? I went on dates. I had alot of great first dates with guys who were planning to stay guys.(laughs) But you know you have a great date and you want to go home and tell your best friend about it. well my best friend is Daniel. Donna. And then you have a few bad dates and. Shes my best friend, She knows me, She loves me, Shes my husband. I know it sounds crazy. My family thinks I'm crazy.

Sydney: I lost a kid, my first year. It was my fault, and I just couldn't- So I had a break down, they gave me time off and when I came back I put a smile on my face and everybody thought I was fine. I lost a kid. It comes in waves Izzie. There's a lull and then another wave hits you. I wasn't trying to pry. I just wanted you to know that it's okay not to be fine sometimes. Izzie: I miss him. All the time I miss him. It's not waves, it's constant. All the time. And I walk through the doors of this hospital and I want to be here, I do, but I... I don't know if I can be a surgeon again and I can't talk about it because it scares me too much.
Meredith (opening voiceover): As surgeons, we are trained to look for disease. Sometimes the problem is easily detected, most of the time we need to go step by step. First, probing the surface looking for any sign of trouble. Most of the time, we can't tell what's wrong with somebody by just looking at them. After all, they can look perfectly fine on the outside, while their insides tell a whole other story.
Meredith (closing voiceover): Not all wounds are superficial. Most wounds run deeper than you can imagine. You can't see them with the naked eye. And then there are the wounds that take us by surprise. The trick with any kind of wound or disease is to dig down and find the real source of the pain - and once you've found it, try like hell to heal that sucker.

After been in relationship with a guy for 3 years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr, Aduwawa and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there.

Pontoon boat features and options
Pontoon boat features and options are more numerous than on most other boats you may purchase.
Structural design features like double or triple pontoons, inboard, outboard or electric power, aluminum under belly, lifting strakes, double or single bimini top, full length risers, pontoon diameter, power steering, etc. all can add to the performance and functionality of your pontoon.
Options like stereo systems, GPS/Fish finders, headlights, courtesy lighting, trash receptacles, upgraded interiors, captain's chair, adjustable seats, custom paint and graphics, fresh water sinks and privacy enclosures can all add greatly to the enjoyment of time on your pontoon.
While options and features do add additional expense, it is very important that you determine which features and options might be right for you. Not every feature or option is right for every pontoon purchaser.
In our experience the more options and features you incorporate into your Pontoon purchase the more pleasurable your Pontoon experience will be.
If you need help deciding which features might be appropriate for you or you would just like an explanation of any features or options, please feel free to give us a call at 860-228-9343, COLUMBIA MARINE.

- Mix the spices, thyme and zest. Slash the skin of the breast, cutting through the fat but not into the meat, then rub the spice mix over the breast and legs. Leave for at least 2 hrs, or for up to 24 hrs in the fridge.
- Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Put the legs into an ovenproof frying pan or smallish roasting tin, season well, then roast for 1½ hrs until deep golden and crisp. Sit the legs on a plate, then keep warm in a low oven or let cool. Spoon off excess fat from the pan juices and keep it for the next time you make roasties. Pull the meat and skin from the legs, shred using 2 forks, then mix together. Keep warm or, if making ahead, reheat in a hot oven for 10 mins before serving.
- Put the pan back on the hob, add the sugar for the sauce and let it melt and turn dark golden. Add the vinegar (the sugar might turn hard at this point but don't worry as it will dissolve again), then reduce by about half. Tip in the clementine juice and almost all the stock and bubble again until reduced and syrupy. Whisk in the butter, then season to taste.
- Heat a frying pan, then cook the breast, skin-side down, for 10-12 mins until very crisp and the fat has run out. Turn over, fry for another 5 mins for just pink (or longer if you prefer), then lift onto a plate and rest, uncovered, for 10 mins. Spoon off remaining fat, add the leftover stock to the pan, then stir to dissolve any tasty, meaty bits. Add to the sauce.
- Slice the breast on the diagonal, then divide half of the leg meat between 2 warm plates in small piles (you can use a cutter or ring if you like, to make it neater). Top with slices of breast. Spoon the sauce over the meat and serve with glazed veg and potatoes.

Comments, questions and tips
Cooked this for 6 last night as a special family meal. Superb.
Could not get any duck legs , so cheated by getting a 1/2 aromatic crispy duck from a supermarket, cooked that as per instruction on packet and shredded it, kept it warm in the oven whilst followed the rest of this recipe. (saved pancakes and hoisin sauce for another day)
The sauce in this recipe is awesome, and breasts done perfectly. (cannot comment on legs)
I found that 4 breasts were enough for 6 people together with the shredded duck, lovely combination. No fiddling with bones!
Served it with roast potatoes, shredded red cabbage, carrots & greens.
Will definitely make again
This is a fantastic recepie, I doubled it and cooked it for 4. I was concerned that the legs would not have crispy skin as it did take 2.30hour to cook the legs in the oven, but I added them into the frying pan when doing the duck breast and it was fantastic, nothing was overcooked and I would definatley have this when my husband and I have christmas together. I was concerned about the sauce as it did smell very vinegary but as it reduced down it took on a different taste and was fantastic! Will definatley do again.
Yummy!!! Only used duck legs as this was just a mid week supper but the duck was tasty and moist and the skin crispy. Used a ring to keep the meat together just before serving. Also thickened the sauce a little more with cornflour which made it much more intense. Also as this was a 'leftovers' dinner I used an orange rather than the clementines. Serves with dauphinoise potatoes and steamed tenderstem broccoli and carrots. with the duck breast on top would defo make a great dinner party menu. Will do again.
We did a variation on this as we only had duck legs.
It was the best duck recipe I have followed & the skin of the duck was very tasty & crisp. We added a couple of star anise as we had them & served it with olive oil roasted potatoes with sea salt & spinach.
The sauce was perfect & would go well with pork too. Will definitely make this again & will splash out on a breast to do it properly next time.
I cooked this for Christmas day and it was absolutely delicious. I was finding it difficult to locate duck legs but found some on Christmas eve in sainsburys. Just aswell because i had contemplated making this with just 2 duck breasts but you definitely need leg and breast! Nicest duck i have ever tasted.

Emotions of Love
The way the breeze wisps,
gently through the leaves of a tree,
And caresses a birds wings,
while it soars in flight.
\The way the morning sun kisses,
the dew on the fields of clover,
And caresses the blossoms,
of the flowers in bloom.
\As each of these
is caressed and kissed
with warmth and love.
Is the way you make my soul feel....
and I know baby,
You were sent to me from above

IT WAS a bleak day for me (it's winter after all...) when I realised that, perhaps, even though a beauty journalist, I personally hadn't been seeing the wood for the proverbial trees with regards to my own appearance for some years. There's nothing overtly wrong with it but I had somehow over my lifetime adapted a live and let be attitude to my appearance, never making any serious overtures with myself about taking care of (beauty) business. But the older I get, the more I want (and feel like I need) to sign up for a regular routine that includes the likes of facials. Yes, yes, most of my compatriots (adopted and real) probably see it as a luxury, but I'll tell you what -- I would rather that be the luxury I spend my money on than a purse or shoes. Those go out of fashion and get stuffed away in the wardrobe one day. Can't do that with a face!
It was with a chipper can-do attitude, then, that I greeted the offer from Spa Week Daily to trial one of the wonderful treatments on offer for $50 during Spa Week 2010. Kick start my beauty makeover with Spa Madness and let you lot know about the deep discounts to be had at spas across North America this April? Yes, please.
Without further ado...

My mom called me today as I was driving home from work all excited... She was channel surfing and caught a segment on Montel about "medical mysteries": one of which was a 23-week micropreemie that lived... her mother announced that she had preeclampsia & HELLP Syndrome!
yea! one more avenue for getting the word out!
I just went to his website to see the synopsis of the show. Here's part of it.... (http://www.montelshow.com/show/todays.htm)
Jeanne was only in her 23rd week of pregnancy when symptoms of vomiting, chest ache, and dangerously high blood pressure sent her to the hospital. Soon after arriving at the hospital, Jeanne gave birth to a 12-ounce, 10 inch-long micro-preemie daughter named Taylor. Taylor was given only a 10% chance of survival, but Jeanne and her husband were determined to keep her alive. Wait till you see how little Taylor is doing today!

As of Tuesday, November 13, 2012

Slap those politicians; if you don't, your money won't. Can't stop givin', never getting in return.
— Blackfoot
Here's what's perhaps the saddest thing about the results of the Nov. 6 presidential election:
The primary response of President Obama's local supporters has been the unbelievably childish equivalent of "na-na na-na boo-boo," while the response of local Mitt Romney supporters has been one of bitterness and random conspiracy theories that would make Oliver Stone blush.
(My favorite: The one about how those super sleuths on conservative talk radio and the Internet have uncovered evidence of just how Obama and his demon minions used their evil powers to make enough overseas votes disappear that would have given the election to Romney. People, please, unplug from your computers, turn off your radios and go take a bath or something.)
With sequestration hanging over the country's head — a random ungodly number in budget cuts that could very well make the recession that started in 2008 look like losing every week in a $5 office football pool (sigh) — you'd think everyone in this country would be demanding that their elected leaders — Democrats and Republicans alike — put the silly rulers away, admit that maybe size doesn't really matter that much when the future of the country is at stake, and start working together to find an answer.
Because if these cuts that are looming are allowed to take place — all for the sake of maintaining some misguided sense of political pride; a pride it should be noted, that has nothing whatsoever to do with the well-being of the American people — our military and a whole lot of other people who actually matter will be left holding in their hands the objects of these deluded leaders' interest and not a whole lot else.
In the aftermath of the election, I find it hard to fathom that we as a country are not incensed that someone like Mitch McConnell, who's supposed to be one of this country's most powerful leaders, admitted that he essentially spent the last four years focused only on his goal of keeping Obama from winning re-election. Hell, Romney only had a couple of years or so to shoot for his goal. McConnell's been undermining the president's agenda — with no regard for the consequences that American citizens would suffer — since the day Obama took office. Isn't McConnell's failure much more monumental? Isn't he much more deserving of our derision?
Conservative pundits who've written all these simpering "this is what went wrong for the Republican Party, and this is what the party must do to right its ship" — which, given their bold rhetoric leading up to the election, seems whiny and puling in retrospect — should be demanding McConnell's removal from office instead of trying to convince gullible readers that they (and, usually, they alone) had the answer to electoral victory if Romney had only listened ... and they didn't really trust him as a standard-bearer to start with. (Hindsight being 20/20 and all.)
I, too, have some suggestions for the Republican Party in the aftermath of losing yet another winnable election. And these thoughts have nothing to do with trying to convince anyone of my prescience after the fact. Just genuine observations.
First of all, you're not going to win an election in 21st-century America counting on the sleaze factor that Karl Rove provides. The Right uses Rove's history as "the mastermind" of George Bush's presidency in an attempt to keep him relevent, but the fact is the guy's a convicted weasel whose dirty politics and dirtier money meant stunningly little to Romney or any other candidate whose office he tried to buy.
According to the Sunlight Foundation, Rove's American Crossroads PAC spent $103 million — and other reports say Rove had a hand in funneling another $200 million or so into Romney's and seven senatorial candidates' campaigns — and the return on that money was a paltry 1 percent. How would you like to be one of the Koch brothers on Nov. 7 and realize the guy you gave all that money to had a 1 percent return?
Other big-time conservative players failed just as monumentally, according to Sunlight. The Chamber of Commerce got a 5 percent return on its $31 million given to pet candidates; the American Future Fund PAC had a 5 percent return on its $23.9 million, while the vaunted NRA had a 0 percent return on the $11 million of its members' money it spent.
Of course, conservatives don't have to take my word for any of this. Just read the wisdom of one of your heroes, the clueless — but, admittedly, very rich and therefore important — wonder Donald Trump, who tweeted on the day after Obama's victory: "Congrats to @Karl Rove on blowing $400 million ... what a waste of money."

Carlton soooo Harry Reid is your # 2 hero,( we all know your #1 hero). And lets not talk about the "Paltry return on investment" the taxpayers are getting from this government. The tax PAYERS are buying more and more "Gimmedats" everyday, wow what a deal, we pay and they play.

This country is in dire straights and you are making fun of it. Everyone is entitled to one vote. There are going to be major changes to all involved. Be careful what you wish for and I do hope you have a good job and not work for a mom and pop company. Hours slashed to 28 hours per week will be tough to get by one. After taxes go back up most will be missing Bush. The taxes are his credit not Obama's. No 99 weeks of unemployment. $20/wk coming out of your check. SS taxes will go back up. Gas will need to be watched closely. Someone will be paying for your free ride of the last 4 years. Medicaid and food stamps will be turned over to the states to manage. Georgia is broke, so there will be major cuts.
waltspecht 2 years, 8 months ago
More needs to be done in investigating the overall use of these funds. Someone or many Media entities are lining their pockets with this money. Just how many signs, newsprint, TV ads, buses, planes and plane tickets were paid for with these funds? I would even wonder just how many votes were bought in a round about way, with this money?
B4it 2 years, 8 months ago
Another slanted and distorted one-sided far left view by Carlton. If he had rightfully compared both the Dem and Repub hard liner approaches, then his article would be worth being taken seriously However, it is again only one-sided. For example, Harry Reid, Senate Majority Learder, had also stated he would not support any Republican ideas for reducing the budget. Pretty clear he did not want to coopeerate with bi-partisan talks.
RedEric 2 years, 8 months ago
Romney talked to the adults in the country and they responded. Unfortunately they were outnumbered by clueless, sophomoric gigglers and all of the Gimmedats.

Johnson City's building inspector is headed to the Science Hill campus today to do a final inspection of the new 9th Grade Academy.
The state fire marshal has signed off on that building's fire alarm system. And should a temporary certificate of occupation be granted by the building inspector, teachers can ready themselves for the students' return on Jan. 4 — a feat that appeared nearly impossible about a month ago after somewhat pessimistic reports rolled in from both school and city officials.
"A temporary certificate of occupancy basically means the building is ready for use," said Tommy Burleson, the city's construction agent. "There still are things that need to be completed, but these include items on a punch list, outdoor concrete work and minor touch ups."
Thanks in part to Johnson City Schools' Christmas break, Chattanooga's EMJ Corp. has pooled its resources on the student- and teacher-free campus and is rapidly making up for lost time as hundreds of workers hustle in and around the $23-million project.
But trouble with subcontractors and wet weather that created swamp-like conditions at Science Hill High School construction zones has forced the company into the unenviable position of being financially docked for missing the mark on several completion dates.
The company was tasked with constructing four new buildings: administrative offices, 9th Grade Academic Building, dining hall and multipurpose gymnasium. Only the administrative offices have a temporary certificate of occupancy. While it's still a close call on the academic building, the dining hall will not likely be finished until the end of January; the multipurpose gymnasium is expected to be complete in mid- to late-March.
Burleson said each building must receive temporary certificates of occupancy, but only one building permit will be issued to cover all four structures.
"Along with the temporary CO will come a certificate of substantial completion," he said. "This means the architect and the city have accepted the buildings, with minor exceptions. I expect that we will get the temporary CO and substantial completion of the academy."
However, EMJ faces liquidated costs beginning today should that not happen. Neither Burleson nor the company expect to meet today's deadline for the dining hall and multipurpose gymnasium. But because some portions of the overall project are or will be complete, Burleson has calculated the financial penalty based on the remaining square footage of the incomplete buildings.
Beginning today, EMJ would pay $575 (57 percent of total square footage) a day for the academic building, $293 a day (29 percent) for the multipurpose gymnasium and $70 a day (7 percent) for the dining hall. The remaining 7 percent of the total accounts for the administrative offices.
"When we get the temporary COs and substantial completions, those charges will stop," Burleson said. "The damages could come in two forms. Either there would be a change order, and the money would be deducted from what is owned to the company, or the company would agree to perform additional work in the amount of financial damages owed."
Science Hill has an enrollment of more than 2,220 students in grades 9-12. The two-story educational wing, which was under roof in late spring, will provide a total of 64 classrooms of which 28 are dedicated to ninth-graders with the remaining classes to be used as 10/12 classrooms.
Burleson said it was not realistic to think that all students who will be using the new academic area would be moved into the new structure all at once and that they may need to be phased in.
It looked as though the company would not make up enough ground in time for the student's return, and the school system was gearing up to retain the existing (old) third wing in which 11 classrooms are being used for math classes. However, six tractor-trailer loads of furniture are ready to be brought in to the new academic wing, and it is now only a matter of scheduling for demolition of the third wing.
During the Dec. 5 Board of Education meeting, members obviously were disappointed with the news of the slow down. BOE members Lottie Ryans and Jenny Brock asked that details of the contract made available as soon as possible to double check the original completion date, to see if there is wiggle room for an alternate completion date, and to see when and if monetary penalties against the company should begin.
"It should never have gotten to this point," Burleson said at the time.
He promised to speak with company representatives and encouraged board members to remain hopeful.
"In all fairness to EMJ, they've had a couple of subcontractor issues, and there's been a lot of weather days," he said Thursday. "Over the last month they've thrown untold resources into this project."

Cozy, Casual Restaurant for Long Overdue Catch-Up?
I haven't seen my best friend in 3 years, and she will be in New York City-- tomorrow!-- for one night only. I want to take her out to dinner, and I'm looking for a restaurant with perfect atmosphere for catching up after all that time-- quiet enough so we can hear each other; relaxed enough that they will let us linger over drinks and coffee after our dinner is done, and not try to rush us out; and hopefully warm and pretty. Oh, right, the food: Italian or American would be best (she doesn't like seafood). She's staying at the Waldorf (51st and Madison) so Hell's Kitchen or UWS would be nice, but I'd travel to find the perfect place!! Any suggestions?
Hi. I've never been but Jean George's Nougatine is supposedly really nice. I've walked through it a bunch of times though to go to the Jean George's dining room.
The more cozy less commercial restaurants tend to be downtown IMO. Blue hill is really cozy and great but you probably wont be able to get a reservation on such short notice. I think that Perilla in the west village (jones street and bleecker) would be good for this event. The head chef is Harold Dieterle, winner of top chef season 1. Another cozy/candle lit (maybe too romantic?) restaurant is Allen and Delancey on the lower east side.
Enjoy your meal and gathering!

Welcome to our Motorcycle Safety Info site.
We are dedicated to providing you with resources and information to help make your ride a safer and more enjoyable experience.
Riding in Weather Conditions
Only a freak motorcycle rider enjoys riding in foul weather, but that doesn't mean you'll never do it. Rain, ice and snow can all be surprises so you want to know how to handle riding in poor weather.
Rain poses two major challenges: traction and vision. Traction seems to be the primary concern for most riders. Watch out for metal fixtures (such as manhole covers and bridge gratings), painted areas, and places where built-up oil and grease have not washed off; these become much slipperier when wet. However, there is still a surprising amount of traction on clean asphalt or concrete.
You can test traction by testing a surface with your rear break. (Before you do this: make sure your tires are in good shape; you need a reasonable amount of tread depth). If you do this at moderate speeds on a flat, straight road, it won't become a thrill ride. Avoid locking up the rear wheel on a steeply crowned road, where it will tend to slide downhill and out of line.
Once you have a feel for traction, you should have some idea of how much you can safely ask the tires to deliver under braking and cornering.
There are additional steps you can take to improve traction. Premium aftermarket tires are virtually certain to give better wet-road grip than original-equipment tires. Additionally, a slight increase in tire pressure will improve wet-weather traction.
Be very careful of any large metal road surfaces or metal sections running parallel to your direction of travel including expansion joints, metal plates and railroad tracks. Painted surfaces can be almost as slippery as metal.
Turning a motorcycle on slick, wet surfaces demands a smooth touch. Braking abruptly or making a sudden steering input could get you intro trouble.
You already know that drivers have trouble seeing you. This is an even larger issue in the rain, low light, obscured windows, and a foggy windshield, will additionally impair driver visibility. Consider a bright rain-suit, and retro-reflective striping or panels.
Also consider your own vision. Your view can be impaired by faceshield fogging or a windshield that rises into your line of sight. Rain-X does help disperse water on both face- and, more importantly, windshields.

Apples are the most widely cultivated fruit and the tree they grow on is actually part of the rose family of plants. Consuming apples helps lower heart disease as well as helps a great deal in weight control. There are hundreds of different types of available across the globe and are either consumed fresh or baked into apple pies, converted into juices, jellies, jams and many more mouth-watering products. The apple tree is believed to be the oldest cultivated trees in the world, however, its exact origin is not known. Some historians believe that apple trees were first planted and cultivated by the Romans, and that the fruit's origin can be traced to South Western Asia. While on the other hand, some believe that apples originated in Kazakhstan in South Central Asia.
You know what they say right? An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Does that count in drink form too doctor? Because I have a list here of seven absolutely delightful summer apple cocktails just waiting to be made and enjoyed…
To Start off this glorious list of apple cocktails is a shot called apple sauce. Apple Cocktails are easy to make – and best of all they are usually pleasing to even the most picky of drinkers. Applesauce is sweet and cinnamon-ee. So watch out they go down quick and before you know it – you'll be a toasty little apple lover.
1 part Goldschlager or Fireball
1 part Sour Apple Pucker
1 Part Pineapple Juice
Pour all into a cocktail shaker, shake a bit, then strain into a double shot glass.
Candy Apple Cocktail
This cocktail is a delicious twist of cranberry juices and amaretto liqueur – and in fact has no apple in it at all! It makes this article thought because not only does it looks like an apple – but it also shares the sweet and tangy flavors of a red apple.
Washington Apple Martini
Washington Apple is one of those incredibly versatile cocktails. It's made with Crown Royal, sour apple pucker and cranberry juice. Unfortunately – using the wrong kind of Canadian Whiskey changes the flavor of the cocktail to something quite unsavory – so Crown Royal is a non negotiable ingredient. The most commonly ordered form of this drink is a shot – although it has been known to be ordered as a martini or on the rocks.
Washington Apple Cider
This cocktail is a twist off the original – Washington Apple Martini. I simply replaced the sour apple pucker for apple cider. This drink has the musky flavor of the crown royal, with hints of cinnamon from the cider, and the tartness of the cranberry juice. Great for sipping.
This particular apple jack recipe is made with Jack Daniels and Apple pucker – slightly different from the apple flavored brandy recipe that has been around for ages. Still an old school drink, this apple jack is simply called so because it contains Apple pucker, and Jack Daniel's.
Apple Lemon Drop
Lemon Drop martini's have been a popular and easy to make cocktail for over a decade now – and not until recently had I decided it needed a little bit of flair.I never thought adding sour apple could make it so delicious but it has – and I can't stop drinking them! They are only three easy ingredients that most people have in the pantry already. Apple and Lemon combine together to make for a tangy and sweet spring shooter.
Granny Smith
Prefer your apples to be green instead of red? Then the Granny smith is the shot designed for you. Made to taste like a juice granny smith apple this shot is smooth and delicious. Made with Pineapple juice instead of cranberry – its sweet and juicy; just like a freshly picked granny smith apple.

12 people in Jim Wells County truck wreck still hospitalized
Investigators believe 18 truck passengers were undocumented immigrants
ALICE - Twelve of the 18 people who fell about 40 feet in a truck that drove off an embankment Tuesday afternoon in Jim Wells County remained in the hospital Wednesday, investigators said.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement believes the truck's passengers were undocumented immigrants, said Fred Schroeder, special agent with the agency's Corpus Christi office.
A male driver drove off an embankment on County Road 440 near Farm-to-Market Road 2295, destroying the extended cab truck, Schroeder said. Some people were trapped in the vehicle, while others were thrown from it, he said.
No one has died.
Six people were treated for injuries and released to U.S. Border Patrol in Freer, Schroeder said. Four people were transferred to San Antonio hospitals, and eight remain in Corpus Christi hospitals.
Some of the people are on ventilators, others remained unconscious Wednesday, and some are unable to talk, Schroeder said.
Officials continue to investigate the wreck and immigration violations, he said.

Before I ask if you love or hate this look, maybe I should tell you who it is. Robin Wright Penn, dudes. I found her to be completely unrecognizable without the blonde hair. Now that she's finally, really, really, probably, hopefully done with Sean, she was obviously ready for a change of epic proportions. What do you think of her new look?
Robin Wright is on the cover of September's issue of More and spilling the news that her marriage to Sean Penn is over. Though the interview was conducted a few months ago, she maintains that nothing has changed. "I hit that crossroad a while ago—for Robin, the 'I know what I don't want' [sign] was flashing neon lights. I have no regrets. I, we, have two amazing children we raised together. There's no limbo anymore. There's no time. I'm too old for this shit."
My original approach was to shrug it all off because, let's face it, this exact scenario unfolds every couple of months. However, as I was typing, I found out that Robin filed for divorce on August 12. I have a feeling this one will stick — mostly because she initiated it.
I wonder if this will bring an end to Sean's year-long break. You know, the sabbatical he decided to take so he could spend it with his wife and kids? He gave up The Three Stooges movie for this woman!
Never mind that they are wasting the court's time, they are wasting my time and seriously irritating me in the process. Sean Penn and wife Robin Wright-Penn have asked that their legal separation case be dismissed. Again. This would be the second "I Love You, I Love You Not," go-around for these two.
You know who I feel bad for? Their kids. At this point, how many times do you think Sean and Robin have sat down with their sons and given them the "Listen, you know mommy and daddy both love you, right? Sometimes, it's better for a mom and dad to live separately. That way, we'll both be happier which will result in you guys being happier," talk? These kids must just roll their eyes and be all "Whatevah." Because they know what all of America knows – these two messes aren't ever going to split up. Every 12 to 15 months they'll get restless and file some sort of legal motion but that will be the extent of it.
So, yeah. Sean Penn and Robin Wright are back together. Nobody. Cares.
Evil Beet Gossip is going green today and totally recycling this story as originally reported back in December 2007 when these two crazy kids filed the first time. They eventually reconciled in April, 2008.
Now here we are. It's April, 2009, Robin Wright is still wearing boring black dresses, Sean Penn is still a dick and they still hate each other. In other words, nothing has changed.
Penn (again!) filed for a legal separation on April 24th. They have been married for thirteen years and have two sons, Hopper Jack and Dylan Frances.
You know, now that Madonna is single, and every production from the 1980′s is being remade anyway, maybe we can see a Sean and Madonna revival.
The couple, who originally filed for divorce in December, have withdrawn their divorce petition.
This makes me kind of happy. They've been together awhile, and it would be nice to see a Hollywood marriage actually work out. It's good to see that they're fighting for it.

Thursday, June 26, 2014
More than 100 people, including hospital board members and staff, government officials, and interested citizens gathered at about 10 a.m. Wednesday at Summerville Medical Center to break ground on the new medical office building.
The $8 million, 40,000-square-foot facility has been in the planning stages for some time. It will not only house a variety of medical services including bariatric surgery, robotic surgery, obstetrics, CaringSuite MRI, fetal telemedicine, and others but will also be connected physically to the hospital, allowing for convenience of use for both medical staff and patients.
I think what differentiates this facility with others is the connectivity to the hospital both in services and physically, Todd Gallati, CEO of Trident Health said. That convenience is really key Im excited about that.
But the ceremony, while a celebration of a milestone, was about more than that, noted SMC CEO Lisa Valentine, who has been in her new position less than a month.
One of the things so striking to me is the quality and depth of service provided here at SMC its typically something you see in a much larger hospital, Valentine said. But even more important is the commitment to service here its not taking care of neighbors so much as a feeling of taking care of your family.
She also noted the Joint Commission recently recognized the hospital as a top performer on Key Quality Measures, which puts the hospital as one of the top 182 hospitals of 3,300 the Joint Commission accredits nationwide.
I think that speaks very well that is really impressive, especially for a hospital this size, Valentine said.
SMC Chief Medical Officer Dr. Beth Cook noted that the new building and the overall success of the hospital is also reflective of strong community support.
Summerville Mayor Bill Collins praised SMC and its accomplishments, noting that a community is judged on how well it takes care of its citizens, from municipal services to medical care. The hospital has always been involved with and supportive of Summerville and the Dorchester County community, he noted.
I think Summerville Medical Center has clearly shown they are on board with the community this is a great day for Summerville, he said.
The new building will be owned by SMCs parent company, HCA, and the construction is expected to be completed in the spring of 2015.

Apple credits new customers who bought apps on the cusp of iOS 7's release
Apple is now giving away its iOS iWorks, iPhoto and iMovie apps to customers who activate new iOS 7 devices; the plan was announced during Apple's September event when the company unveiled the iPhone 5c and 5s.

Interesting. Unopened, sealed new iPod with AppleCare + seems to have given me the free downloads. Can't imagine anything else. I thought Christmas would come before getting these.

Devon Denman: Missouri Kidnapping Victim Found in New Mexico Following Police Chase
Categories: Violent Crime
|Devon Denman
Five-year-old Devon Denman was taken from his father by gunpoint Saturday at the Lake of the Ozarks. Just after midnight this morning police near Gallup, New Mexico, attempted to stop a car driven by Devon's mother Elizabeth Denman and her boyfriend Mark Cochran. The vehicle sped off -- reaching speeds of over 100 miles an hour -- before police used stop sticks to blow out the tires.
As KSDK reports, Denman and Cochran fled the vehicle after firing shots at police. They're currently on the run as police search a 200-square-mile patch of the New Mexico high desert. Devon was found in the backseat of the vehicle. Elizabeth Denman, 41, is a convicted felon. Her 40-year-old boyfriend a registered sex offender.
Devon's father was awarded custody of the boy last week. The kidnapping comes just days after authorities in Fenton discovered 4-year-old Alisa Meier unharmed a day after she was taken from her front yard by registered sex offender Paul Smith who later killed himself.

Thief and Vista FIXES ONLY PLEASE
View Single Post

Complete solution of how I got Thief Gold to run on Vista Ultimate x64 (64-bit)
If you're struggling with getting Thief Gold to run on your machine that has Windows Vista Ultimate x64 (64-bit OS), than this post is for you. This would probably be fine for other versions of Vista as well. Here are my PC specs:
ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ (2.91 GHz)
GeForce 8800 GTS SSC edition video card
800W (850max) KINGWIN power supply
6GB Corsair DDR2 800 RAM
Windows Vista Ultimate x64 (with SP1)
First things first, make sure you have the latest drivers for your motherboard and video card installed. Most likely nvidia.com or ati.com. That way, you can rule out the possibility of faulty drivers screwing things up.
Install the game. If you are unable to install due to an error about DirectX, simply go to Start, then Run, then type d:\setup.exe -lgntforce
(where d:\ is your CDrom/DVDrom drive.) Note: that's -lgntforce, lowercase "L". If you're unsure, copy and paste it from here. Hit enter. Thief Gold should now begin to install.
Here's the technical explanation of the cause of the error:
"This problem arises because Win2K, WinXP, and Vista are based on the NT kernel, which had DirectX support which was flaky at best. Thief needs DirectX to run, so, when the installer sees the NT kernel, it assumes that the game isn't going to be able to run and quits the installation. The -lgntforce switch tells the installer to ignore the NT kernel and install anyway."
2. Fix the error in which the game will only show a black screen (you may get an error in which it says that the Direct 3D Device does not accurately report texture memory usage).
Simply go to the following link, download the file, extract it, and put it in your main ThiefG folder.
Should be something like C:\Program Files (x86)\ThiefG\. If you have the 32-bit Vista OS, it should look like this: C:\Program Files\ThiefG\. This file is going to replace your Thief executable.
Use this new file to start the game. It's a good idea to create a shortcut on your desktop to this.
Here's the technical explanation of the cause of the error:
Error in which you only get a black screen or Direct 3D Device does not accurately report texture memory usage. Please Note: If you are using an nVidia card with drivers in the 9x.xx range then this fix will not work. At present the only solution is to downgrade your drivers to versions in the 8x.xx range or below. An error message that pops up when starting a level in Thief and Thief 2. You may not get an error message, you may see only a black screen. It primarily occurs on Nvidia Graphics cards running driver versions 5x.xx and above although there are several reports of it occuring on ATI 9xxx cards using new drivers.
3. Fix the issue that Thief Gold has when trying to run on multiple processors (make sure you do this step AFTER step 2).
If you have a dual-core, tripple-core, quad-core, or any type of multi-core processor, you must first download the following zip file:
Unzip it and put the IMAGECFG file in your C:\WINDOWS\System32\ folder.
Copy the following three lines of text:
imagecfg -u thieffixedg.exe
imagecfg -a 0x1 thieffixedg.exe
Open up Notepad and paste these three lines of text into it. Save the file as "processor.bat" (with quotes) in your main ThiefG folder (this is the same folder that you put the thieffixedg.exe file into). Once saved, go to it and double click on it.
That's all there is to it.
Here's the technical explanation of the cause of the error:
Game freezes within a minute / Running Thief on a Dual-Processor/Dual Core System or Got a Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading? When activated, Intel's Hyperthreading makes it appear that you have two CPUs. Pentium 4 D and Athlon 64 X2 processors have 2 cores on one chip - they are dual processors. Make sure that Thief is set to only use 1 processor with High, or Realtime priority. Dark Engine games don't like dual processor systems unless they are configured in this way.
4. One more issue remains. The videos won't play.
I went to Start, Run, and copy-and-pasted the following into there and hit enter:
Type regsvr32 "c:\your\path\to\thief\LGVID.AX"
(where c:\your\path\to\thief\ matches your own path)
Before doing that, the game would run, but it would simply skip the movies! We can't have that, now can we? So AFTER registering that .ax file as indicated above, I tried to start the first level and the game crashed. I then discovered that I need certain Indeo video codecs installed. So..
go to the following link:
Download and run the "iv5setup" setup application. Select custom and DESELECT the web browser plugin at the very bottom.
This will eliminate the problem that arises when the setup tries to search for Netscape.. and we all know that Netscape is inferior to Internet Explorer and Firefox so we don't care about it.
If you do not follow this step, the setup will freeze while trying to search for netscape. So after deselecting that last option for the plugin, continue the installation and it should install within a second or two.
Now you're all done and Thief Gold should run correctly on your beefy Vista x64 machine. If for some reason you finish a mission and the video for the next mission doesn't play, just go to the movies folder within your main ThiefG folder and watch it from there. I've noticed that most of the time the in-game movie will play, but sometimes it won't. Hope this has been helpful. I did all 4 steps and it worked great for me. Here are some links I found that helped me figure this all out:

Celestial Timepiece is intended to be a resource for students, scholars, and fans of Joyce Carol Oates's work. Begun in as a simple bibliography in August of 1995, the site has since grown tremendously, offering a surface reflection of JCO's own deep literary project. A goal is to provide a free exchange of information, and to encourage discussion and scholarship among JCO's admirers around the world.
In constructing this site, I have had the good fortune to encounter a number of generous individuals who have provided valuable information, assistance, and encouragement including Kathleen Manwaring, keeper of the JCO Archive at the Syracuse University Library; and most particularly, Greg Johnson, author, critic, and biographer of JCO.
Joyce Carol Oates herself has been astoundingly generous in allowing me to use her material on this web site; and though it is my own personal project, it has nonetheless become the de facto official JCO web site.
JCO has written a poem called "Celestial Timepiece," but this site actually took its name from a passage in her Gothic masterpiece, Bellefleur:
Celestial Timepiece was the largest quilt, but Matilde was sewing it for herself—it wasn't to be sold: up close it resembled a crazy quilt because it was asymmetrical, with squares that contrasted not only in color and design but in texture as well. "Feel this square, now feel this one," Matilde said softly, taking Germaine's hand, "and now this one—do you see? Close your eyes." Coarse wool, fine wool, satins, laces, burlap, cotton, silk, brocade, hemp, tiny pleats. Germaine shut her eyes tight and touched the squares, seeing them with her fingertips, reading them. Do you understand? Matilde asked.Noel complained that Celestial Timepiece made his eye jump. You had to stand far back to see its design, and even then it was too complicated—it gave him a headache. "Why don't you just sew some nice little satin comforter," he said. "Something small, something pretty.""I do what I am doing," Matilde said curtly.
See a visual history of Celestial Timepiece.

Apple hires Adobe exec Todd Teresi to oversee iAd program
Adam Satariano from Bloomberg tweeted that Apple has hired away Todd Teresi from Adobe to lead their iAd program.
Apple has hired Adobe's Todd Teresi to head iAd. Story coming....
Bloomberg hasn't released any details just yet, but this move could likely be seen as a competitive jab by Adobe. Teresi acted as VP of Adobe's Media Solutions division, and hiring him away from Adobe could be interpreted as another shot across their bow which, ultimately, lead to Adobe conceding and abandoning Flash for mobile devices.
On the other hand, iAd hasn't necessarily gained the traction Apple had hoped for, and the recent loss of Andy Miller probably didn't help much either. This could just be Apple trying to pivot in an attempt to help bolster the fumbled initiative.

Corn Buttering Tool is an invention created with the intent of simplifying and efficiently buttering an ear of corn, alleviating slippage and mess. The components consist of a stainless mesh screen which secures and cradles the corn; one butter bin, accommodating up to 1 lb. of butter; and one plastic cover which keeps the butter fresh. The butter is placed into the bin, the mesh is set upon the butter and the heated corn rests on the mesh. Rotating the corn on the mesh attains the desired amount of butter. Combining rotating and sideways motion will allow more butter to be applied to the corn. The design's primary function is to butter corn however it may be used as a butter storage unit. The bin's arched shaped base allows for maximum butter usage. The side lip of same prevents excess melted butter from spilling over.
1. A device for the application of butter onto an ear of corn and storage of said butter and said ear of corn comprising:
a storage bin for holding at least one stick of butter, said bin comprising a base having side walls extending from said base, at least two of said side walls being of a first height and remaining side walls being of a second height wherein said second height is less than said first height, said base and side walls defining a bin having an arch cross section;
removable mesh screen, seated within said bin contacting said at least one stick of butter, said screen cradling said ear of corn and allowing buttering of said ear of corn through said screen, said screen including an arch shaped portion having handles at ends thereof, said handles being supported by said side walls of said first height; and
a removable lid for covering said bin and screen allowing storage of said butter.
Not applicable.
Not applicable.
This invention relates to a food preparation aid that will alleviate mess and more efficiently apply butter to an ear of corn. Normally when an individual is preparing supper, i.e. getting the corn ready for consumption, there is usually an ordeal in the preparation of it: butter droppings all over the tablecloth, corn slipping onto the floor. Should a pad of butter be placed on an ear of corn, it shifts and ends up either in the dish or, on your clothes. Others have used a slice of American bread, loaded with butter, rolling the corn around and buttering it. Although this can work, there is much butter wasted.
This invention is created with the intent of simplifying the preparation and presentation of corn on the cob. The object of this invention is to efficiently butter an ear of corn, alleviating slippage and mess.
FIG. 1. is a pictorial view, in perspective, of the corn buttering tool presenting the order in which it is to be set for use;
FIG. 2. is a perspective exploded view of the corn buttering tool, including the broken lines presenting the full shape of said;
FIG. 3. is a elevation view of the front side of the butter bin;
FIG. 4. is a plane view thereof, FIG. 5. is an elevation view of the elongated side of the said bin;
FIG. 6. is an elevation view of the arched side of the mesh;
FIG. 7. is a plane view thereof, and
FIG. 8. is an elevation view of the elongated side of the said mesh.
The Corn Buttering Tool components consist of: A strategically designed stainless steel mesh screen 1, which secures and cradles the corn; one butter bin 2, which can comfortably accommodate up to 1 lb. of butter and a plastic cover 7 which keeps butter fresh and free from bacteria.
The suggested design of a skewer as shown in FIG. 1. should be manufactured as a one-piece stainless steel unit. For usage of the Corn Buttering Tool any similar device on the market, including a fork or one's fingers will effectively render the same result. The stainless steel screen mesh is similar in quality and density to those used in other known food preparation strainers. The butter bin 2 is designed so that it may be manufactured in plastic, ceramic, glass or crystal. The transparent cover 7 allows an easy view of contents, is constructed of either durable, lightweight plastic or glass, and possesses an easy-grip handle. Said cover fits securely over the butter bin, resting on the rim of the base of said bin, preserving freshness.
The butter 3 is placed into the bin 2. The stainless steel mesh 1 is placed upon the butter 3. Still warm, previously prepared corn 4, once skewered is placed upon the mesh screen 1. Depending upon an individual's personal preferences, the desired amount of butter is then applied to the ear of corn by rotating it and moving it left to right across the screen mesh. By letting an ear of corn set for a few seconds on the screen, more butter will seep through the mesh, allowing adequate buttering.
Corn Buttering Tool is designed primarily as a corn buttering aid. However, its simple design may be used simply as a butter storage unit. The bin's interior base is arched shaped (FIG. 3.), allowing for ultimate usage of butter. The short side walls keep excess melted butter in the bin; therefore, retaining minimal melted butter for future usage. The elongated side walls 6 of the butter bin are designed with ample space allowing the mesh screen to sit upon the butter and freely descend into the bin as the butter is used. The stainless steel mesh 1 is shaped to fit flush to the bottom of the butter bin, allowing full usage of butter remaining in said bin. Bordering the arched shaped screen are thin aluminum frames 7, which keep the arched form. The elongated sides of the mesh are wrapped around stainless steel wire 8 held by a thin aluminum grip 9. When the Corn Buttering Tool is used to butter corn, the mesh is placed upon the butter. Placement of heated corn upon the mesh allows the uppermost layer of butter to melt, thus exiting through the mesh onto the corn, without any additional pressure exerted but the weight of the corn. The movement of the corn in any direction will result in the desired amount of butter on the kernels. The stainless steel mesh prevents loose kernels and debris from falling into the butter, leaving the butter intact, unaffected and ready for continued use.
When the meal is completed, lift the mesh, run under warm water or place in a dishwasher and wash accordingly. The remaining butter in the bin is ready for next usage, provided that it is covered with the lid and ordinary usage and care is taken.
