A huge statement tonight – Peter DeFazio, a Democrat from Oregon and one of the chairs of the Populist Caucus in the House, just called for the firing of Timothy Geithner and Larry Summers, saying that Barack Obama's economic team is failing him. He said that there's a "growing sense" in the caucus that a new economic team committed to jobs and American workers is needed to replace the one primarily concerned with Wall Street.
This is the first Democrat, to my knowledge, who has called for Geithner and Summers to step aside. He said that "boos" accompany Geithner and Summers' names in the Populist Caucus meetings. Earlier this month, Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) openly wondered why Geithner still has a job, but DeFazio took it a step further.
The money quote:
"We may have to sacrifice two more jobs to get millions more for Americans."
This comes in the context of deliberations in the House over a new jobs bill. DeFazio has offered that it should be paid for through a financial transactions tax on oil futures and derivative transactions; other proposals include stock transactions. Such a tax faces an uphill climb in a Congress too willing to back corporate interests, particularly from the financial industry.

Revisiting Hogan's Alley
A look back at Ben Hogan's success at Riviera Country Club
February 2012
1947 L.A. Open
Hogan blasts out of a sand trap on the ninth green during the second round. He fired a five-under-par 66 to take a four-stroke lead at the half-way mark. Two rounds of 72 over the weekend were good enough for a three-shot win over Tony Penna.

Beautiful Wooden Sculptures
Art | August 21, 2010 / views: 209,287
Noble tree is a favorite material for the work of many sculptors. What age is growing, standing still in the same place, waiting to be used for artistic work... These beautiful, wooden sculptures are fabulous as woods described in so many stories. Wizards, forest fairies, Mogli... living in the woods, and in this case are like Pinocchio and made of wood.

Could the 2012 GOP presidential primary start closer to 2012? "Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is letting donors know it'll be a while before he looks to 2012 — and that any presidential campaign he builds will have a much smaller staff than in 2008 … and no one is in a big hurry. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels has said he'll wait until after the Indiana legislative term ends in the spring before he decides, and South Dakota Sen. John Thune hasn't laid out a timeline. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told The New York Times that she's considering a bid but didn't elaborate on timing. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty's team has alluded to an announcement in the spring."
Could there be a better formulation of the GOP's approach than this by Speaker-to-be John Boehner? "We think that Obamacare ruined the best healthcare in the country, we believe it will bankrupt our nation, we believe it needs to be repealed and replaced with commonsense reforms to bring down the cost of health insurance and you'll see us move quickly enough." The "how" is still to be determined, but the goal is crystal clear.
Could the Dems be any more tone-deaf? "House Democrats on Thursday shot down a G.O.P. attempt to roll back federal funding to NPR, a move that many Republicans have called for since the public radio network fired the analyst Juan Williams last month." I guess we'll find out when they vote — or not — on the Bush tax cuts.
Could Haley Barbour be a 2012 contender? A "formidable" one, says the Gray Lady: "Mr. Barbour's political might was on full display at the Hilton Bayside Hotel here in San Diego this week, where Republican governors met for the first time since the elections. He strode like a popular small-town mayor through the hotel's wide concourses, attracting a steady crush of corporate contributors, political operatives and reporters. In public sessions and private conversations, his fellow governors lavished praise on him."
Could they have drained the swamp a little earlier? "A House ethics panel Thursday said senior Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel deserved to be censured — the most severe form of punishment short of expulsion from Congress — for nearly a dozen instances of misconduct as a lawmaker."
Could there be any reason to give the mullahs assurance that we won't use force? The Washington Post's editors don't think so: "We agree that the administration should continue to focus for now on non-military strategies such as sanctions and support for the Iranian opposition. But that does not require publicly talking down military action. Mr. Gates's prediction of how Iranians would react to an attack is speculative, but what we do know for sure is that the last decision Iran made to curb its nuclear program, in 2003, came when the regime feared – reasonably or not – that it could be a target of the U.S. forces that had just destroyed the Iraqi army. As for the effect of the sanctions, Tehran has not shown itself ready to begin serious bargaining about its uranium enrichment." It is one of their more inexplicable foreign policy fetishes.
Could the Dems benefit from listening to William Galston? You betcha. He tells them that they should have dumped Pelosi: "What's the logic of patiently rebuilding a Democratic majority—for which Pelosi deserves a considerable share of the credit—only to embark on a strategy seemingly calculated to destroy it? And why should the kinds of Democrats without whom no Democratic majority is possible expect anything better in the future? This decision was the victory of inside baseball over common sense, and no amount of spin can change that."

- The Holy Cross men's rowing team kicks off its fall season with the Snake Regatta on Saturday, Oct. 10, on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass. The races are scheduled to start at 8:00 a.m.
- Seniors Dan McGlinn (Ambler, Pa.) and D.J. Estes (Falmouth, Mass.) have been tabbed by head coach Todd Pearson as the 2009-2010 captains. McGlinn has been a member of the varsity eight the last two seasons and rowed for the team at the Eastern Sprints and IRA National Championship Regatta in California last season. Estes spent time on both the second varsity eight and the varsity eight last season, and rowed with the second varsity eight boat that finished 16th at the Eastern Sprints last season.
- Sophomores Peter Dwyer (Keene, N.Y.) and Tom Gallant (Scotia, N.Y.) are coming off exceptional summers in which they both participated in the 2009 U.S. National Team Freshman Camp. Dwyer took part in the camp in Philadelphia, Pa., while Gallant headed to Oakland, Calif. The camp is for freshmen athletes with elite-level potential who have only one or two years of rowing experience. Both were members of the freshmen eight last season.

Her name is Buffy Ford-Stewart, the widow of The Kingston Trio original group member John Stewart. He called her Angel Rain. For John Stewart, who died in San Diego in 2008, she was the muse for one of the great American singer-songwriters of the last 50 years. Without her, he may never have written the body of work ranging from Daydream Believer, Mother Country, California Bloodlines to the latter day Jasmine. As one of the founders of Americana music, she inspired John's lyrical, authentic, poetic, and visionary body of work. She was his all-time woman, the one who believed in him, the keeper of the flame lit by the treasury of songs authored by poet, artist, writer, dreamer, storyteller, and magic man.
Today, she follows a road of her own, a highway she once traveled with John. But, she does not walk it alone. A legion of John Stewart fans or Bloodliners, her close friends and family walk with her. And, as always, John's spirit is just a dream away. He came to her in a flock of birds in the days following his passing. He still speaks through her in stories and in the very timbre of her voice. She is a cancer survivor who has walked the borderline between life and death. She is still a daydream believer, still a homecoming queen, still the girl swept away by the lonesome troubadour of her youth.
After many hit albums, Buffy is back with more powerful vocals than ever before in her newest CD, "Same Old Heart." She rides high in her rhythm and gives astonishing takes on classics. This album speaks volumes with the tone of her career. She weaves magic into every song, and leaves you with a great feeling after hearing each take that she demands.

Why did you downgrade using the USA version if your "original" system was Europe....... surely you should have downgraded to 3.2E

New pedal from Malleus.
4 Attachment(s)
I'm no expert on pedals, but I do know good engineering when I see it. This new pedal is designed by a friend of mine, who also happens to own the machining company that makes our Origin hardware. The Malleus pedal program is marketed through Highwood drums in the UK. Here's a link to their site http://www.highwooddrums.co.uk/products/malleuspedals
The design is modular, & can be switched from a single left or right handed pedal, to a double left or right handed pedal. Every moving part runs on ball race bearings. I know the double pedal linkage looks bulky, but it's all aluminium, & there's zero latency as far as I can make out. The standard of build is just miles better than anything else I've seen or used. Absolutely every single parameter can be adjusted, so customisation to your exact needs is a given.
I've been trying out a single pedal for the last few months, & it's a dream to use once dialed in. I especially like the power - speed adjustment. It actually allows someone like me of limited foot technique to pull off some cool stuff. Pricing is very good too, especially the single.
The funny looking "U" bracket you can see attaches to your bass drum hoop. Once fixed, the pedal clips in place via a ball joint. This not only allows fast assembly & breakdown without hoop rash issues, it also allows you to adjust the angle of the pedal in relation to the drum.
Anyhow, I think these are certainly worth checking out & including in your list if you're thinking of getting a pedal/pedals in the near future.
Cheers, Andy.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
i like the look of that pedal a lot. i like how its shown speed and power on the side, i have to look in the manual to remember which coler cam offers wich adjustment on my pedals. it certainly has a bulky look to it, does it break down easily?
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
I'm glad you re-loaded this thread Andy, this new pedal design sounds very interesting indeed, it features some innovations that I haven't seen on any other pedals, although I'm not a specialist on pedals.
I like the fact that every single parameter can be adjusted, but I would be very tempted to try the beater position in relation to speed and/or power, although very often, once you dial in a setting that suits your playing, you hardly change it, but it's nice to be able to have all variations at hands to do so.
The U clip on the bass drum hoop is a clever design IMO, not only it allows for fast setup and take down, you can adjust slightly the angle, and every time you setup the kit the pedal is exactly in the same position, you only mount the U clamp once too, therefore reducing wear and tear of the BD hoop, clever.
Here's a couple videos I found on this new pedal, it's well explained and worth a look for those interested :)
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
MAd i just wathced the videos. i think that bass clamp is really innovative. thats a great idea and once you mount the clamp, the pedal goes on in one shot every time. My only issue is still with the double pedal rod. it looks like it has 4 allen screws to take it apart, i could be wrong. i personnaly dont like using anything but a drum key, that way i only need one tool with me, not a small black allen key i could lose on a dark stage.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Do those footboards have a slight slope to them?
One thing I like MUCH better than the DW pedals, and that's the knurled spring tension adjustment.....just like the Camco....SIMPLE!
With the DW3000 I have, you have to loosen the top(same), but then I have to push the rod down, screw the stupid bottom screw in, and then re-tighten the lock screw....I like it when ya just back off the lock, screw to tension you want with the BOTTOM knurled knob, and tighten down the top lock screw......1 hand operation......simple.
It's like DW took a perfectly fine and EZ adjustment process, and went out of their way to make it more difficult....this isn't Rocket Science!
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
That hoop clamp and adjustable footboard pin is an awesome idea, I have a few questions regarding the setup though:
It looks like the pedal/clamp can rotate on that pin, does it ever turn sideways, especially if it gets some slop?
If that hoop clamp ever comes off the bass drum in transit, you'd better have another 1 handy- I imagine you can buy a spare separately?
The center shaft that everything attaches to seems to be round, I'm wondering if this will be prone to slippage, especially as more time/use goes on.
The adjustable angle beater head is cool, it doesn't seem to mess with the footboard angle.
I've never played a direct drive, only a strap drive(old leather slingerland from the 60's), a single chain camco, and now my dbl chain 3K.
Looks nicely engineered, with a lot of thought given to it for sure.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
intriguing design, especially that toe/hoop clamp. Looks like a very well built pedal, not necessarily crazy about the footboard design but the pedal looks solid.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
I've been looking for my new "dream double pedal" ever since my demon drives were stolen last year.
I'm somewhat of a double pedal buff. I have a pair of the original Axis pedals, a newer Axis longboard pair, the trick dominator, the offset, (had) the demon drive and Eliminators.
I know all of the major pedals pluses and minuses. This pedal seems to address them:
1. No cast parts. Everything machined from wrought aluminum. (the demon drive is almost perfect for a direct drive but it fails on this count)
2. High end bearings.
3. No latency on slave
4. Slave/main beaters strike equidistant from center. (big problem with the axis if you don't trigger)
5. Highly adjustable
6. Actually available (as opposed to the Devils hoof Polish pedal in the States)
7. Uses an expansion spring (as opposed to that horrible feeling compression spring on the Trick)
I'm really considering these pedals. (Which, if you know me, means that I will probably order a pair with a week)
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
The round connecting rod lends itself to the set it and forget it philosophy as well. If it's well engineered, it won't slip. The Axis rod is round and it never slips.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
If you do want a set, let me know in advance. The order will need to go through Highwood, & I can't get you any discount, but as your pedals would be built to order, I can let Mark know they're on the way to a valued customer. BTW, the standard beaters they come with are crap. The thinking is that existing double bass players have their own beater preference. I did try their beater upgrade c/w the balance weight. Really good stuff. I'll check if they're available yet.

Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Oh, I see what you mean now. Yes, drumkey operated screws there are more practical.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
on that pedal they would look like crap however. very nice design though.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
That looks sick! Any word or pricing?

Re: New pedal from Malleus.
In the very first post in this thread there's a link to that website where you can order those pedals. Scroll down a bit and bam, there's some price indications:
Single pedal - £200
Double pedal - £500
BTW, those pedals look awesome. And they come at an attractive price. I almost regret I'm on a waiting list for a different double pedal ATM...
Re: New pedal from Malleus.

Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
That might have something to do with NO ONE on here besides Andy has tried them. And since he's fairly busy building drums this probably isn't the first thread he checks.
Calm down you will probably get your answer.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
The pedal can rotate on the ball anchor fitted to the bass drum hoop. This is a deliberate feature to allow players to adjust the angle of the pedal to the drum. I tried a double setup, as their endorsing artist just happened to be setting up his kit to test the latest adjustments. Man, those doubles are as fast as hell. Way too fast for this old fart to fully exploit. Each pedal has a grip tape to the underside that keeps them nicely planted. No movement whatsoever.
I do want to take one design point, & that's the use of hex screws (cap head or otherwise) instead of drum key operated screws. Hex screws are stronger size for size, & also access with a hex key is typically better. For those reasons, we're using hex screws for the string/ribbon clamps on our new strainer. I get the 1 tool convenience of using tension screws for everything, but the fact is, they're not always the best engineering choice.

Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Sometimes compromises are required, & it depends which side of the fence you fall. Inevitably, you'll end up displeasing some & satisfying others.

Could this from Gibraltar solve the drum key issue...
...It features a normal tuning key, a hex key and a phillips screwdriver :)

Hello to all.
My name is Mark Hall, and i'm part of the malleus team.
With Andy's prompting, i have joined my first drum forum - drummerworld.
My thanks to Andy for posting a thread about my pedals.
Andy has covered alot of the questions you guys have put forward already.
(Again, he has my thanks!)
I'm a new member on drummerworld - but i will do my very best to answer any questions/concerns you folk may have.
I value constructive input from fellow drummers. It allows me to improve my design.
On the hex subject - Generation 3 of the pedals (in production now) will feature the same hex key size throughout. - 4mm AF
All settings inc double pedal parts will run with 4mm hex keys.
Andy has covered the reasons we use high tensile fixings, so i wont go over it again.
My point - with everything needing a 4mm hex key - it is very easy for us to supply 2 or 3 keys per pedal.
The picture below shows a bondhus style hex key.
These keys allow up to 25 deg miss-alignment when in use.
I can see this factor being a distinct advantage on ANY pedal.....but you wont get it with a standard tunning key.
I love these hex keys - in my workshop - i couldn't live without them.
Welcome, Malleus_Man. Great looking pedals, am sure there will be a lot of interest in them. Those keys are interesting too!
PS: Is there an increased danger of the screw getting stripped due to the angle of the bondhus style hex key?
- Reggae
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Thankyou for the warm welcome Reggea.
To answer your question - quite the opposite!
The bondus keys drive the bolt in the rotation axis better than standard keys IMHO.
The human hand is the reason 90% of bolts cross thread.The bondus keys actually forgive us any angle error thus reducing the chance of cross threading.
Us heavy handed folk (drummers!) are guilty of driving things too hard + overtightening things etc. I'm guilty of it, because i'm in fear of something coming loose as i'm playing.
This was something we tried to address with our pedal fasteners.
We wanted the 'set and forget' factor on every adjustement.
The bondus key itself is not a new invention - it's over 20 years old now.
It's not common in the drumming world and i fail to understand why.
It's standard issue with guitar / bass etc
I would highly recommend picking a set up from a local hardware dealer.
For anything practical, IE, cars, DIY etc they are fantastic and worth having in the tool box.
I really do mean it when i say i couldn't live without them.
Malleus Man
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Really cool to have someone from Malleus on the forum, welcome!
That's a really impressive pedal, easily among the very best that exist ATM.
One thing that I'm typically interested in a pedal is the play in the hinge as some drummers like to use the swivel motion. Is there any, will there be some over time?
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
1 Attachment(s)
Once again - thankyou for the warm welcome and thankyou for the positive comments.
The swivel motion is something i use alot in my playing.
The hinge is fully ball raced both sides and fastened laterally to the rotational plane
- see pic. (Mobile phone pic, sorry!)
Many pedals hold the bearings on the OD and ID only. Concentrating primarily on the up and down forces.
This works fine........for the first 6 months of use!
We do the same, but we also apply a small amount side force. Standard closed bearings will take a small amount of side pressure with no failing.
More than enough to handle the forces generated on a footplate without moving to thrust bearings. We've made the bearing housing from stainless steel and the fastener is A2.
The standoff's are impact resistant acetyl / delrin - they play a major role in absorbing some of the forces.
But -
Moving parts wear. The laws of physics demand it. (Designers bane!)
I wouldnt be daft enough to say our pedal hinge will never wear, but I would be confident enough to say it has an enormous amount of staying power!
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Could you put a holder for the allen key on the pedal ? That way people would always have a spare. Or is the concern it would get shaken loose?
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
I'm going to be the first to jump in the water here. I'm getting a double pedal to replace my demon drives that were stolen last year.
I've played them all and the design of this one is spot on.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Welcome Mark!
Guys, Mark being on this forum offers an ideal opportunity to question first hand. He really knows his stuff, & you can trust his judgement. Oh, & BTW, he's also a bloody good player!
We entrust Mark to manufacture our Origin series hardware. He's also making our new snare series hardware, & we're currently engaged in a joint Guru-Malleus development of the ultimate snare strainer. In short, we trust Mark to machine stuff that's absolutely critical to arguably one of the finest series of percussion instruments available. You know our Guru policy is zero compromise, & Mark's work/design ethos echos ours.
Mark, I'll see you in a couple of hours time for our weekly design session, & no dodgy pizza this evening eh ;)
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Welcome Mark!
That's not a pedal, that is a work of art! If I bought one of these, there is no way I would stick it down on the floor behind a bass drum and boot it, I'd have it on a plinth in my living room, spot lighting and all!
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
Our point is this - The pedal should be 'setup' in a practice room etc
Once set - nothing comes loose - you shouldn't need to make adjustments at a gig/show.
Place the pedal under the quick release mechanism and that's it, you're done.
This works perfectly for single pedals - but let's be honest - the double pedal player will need to fasten the uni bar in place......so a degree of 'setting' is rqd.
We are soon to supply our own branded hex keys with the pedal rather than generic versions.
We intend to grace the hex key with a branded handle - maybe this handle needs to be made from a hi visibility material?!
Worth looking into it think!
Re: New pedal from Malleus.
thanks Mark, i have to say, your mounting idea is so simple and amazing i cant believe it hasnt been done before. simplifying the adjustments for the beater makes so much sense too. i really wish you a ton of luck with these pedals. im a double pedal player so thats the only reason i could think that would affect me personally, thats all.

Comments about Women's Jessica Kriss Kross Leather Handbag:
I saw a version of this bag in a softer nap leather but didn't buy it because I was afraid it would scratch. This leather is soft, too, but with a tougher finish. The only negative is that it doesn't have an inside zipper to put your mad money. Otherwise, this is a beautiful utilitarian bag that looks classy and can switch from day to night. Also, this style is impossible to find and this is the only online source that I know of. Zippers work smoothly. Once you adjust length, it holds tight.

I searched long and hard to find the perfect everyday purse and after an arduous quest I settled on this one. My only hesitation was on the available colors. I usually prefer a chocolate brown bag however the Brandy color is rich and retro. I need organization as I schedule my business out of my purse and I hate cavernous bags that have one constantly diggleing to find everything. Three good sized pockets and a front zip pocket for incidentals keeps me efficient. Love the style and the leather is so soft I want to pet it! I only gave it 4 stars because I feel the liner could be softer/smoother/finer?
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

For Immediate Release
Contact:Deborah Gilleran
Lakewood, N.J., Oct. 19, 2007—Georgian Court University, in conjunction with the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research, will present a lecture and interactive learning workshop entitled "Cognitive Therapy for Challenging Problems," on Friday, November 9, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The program will feature keynote speaker Leslie Sokol, Ph.D., distinguished founding fellow and past president of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, who will offer her insights on the application of cognitive therapy to various clinical issues.
"This program is important for continuing development for mental health professionals and to students in mental health, counseling, and social work programs," says Mimi da Silva, Ph.D., director of graduate programs in psychology at Georgian Court University. "It is designed to highlight the major themes in Dr. Judith Beck's groundbreaking book, Cognitive Therapy for Challenging Problems: What To Do When the Basics Won't Work."
Dr. da Silva explains that what makes this workshop unique is that it is not simply an explanation of the basic elements of cognitive therapy, but will provide advanced knowledge to practitioners while still being accessible to students and those new to clinical fields.
"The program is for psychologists, counselors, marriage counselors, social workers, psychiatric nurses, or students in any of those fields," she says, "or individuals who simply have an interest in learning more about cognitive therapy."
Dr. Sokol, a close associate of Aaron T. Beck, M.D., the world-renowned founder of cognitive behavior therapy, has lectured both nationally and internationally, and is recognized worldwide as an expert in the field. She is the education coordinator and one of the principal instructors with the internationally acclaimed Beck Institute, Philadelphia, and maintains two private practices in Pennsylvania. She is also on the teaching faculty of Suburban Mercy Hospital where she has trained family medicine residents for the past 15 years and also serves as the staff psychologist. Dr. Sokol is the past president of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, as well as the chair of its credentials committee, and was a representative to the International Association of Cognitive Psychotherapy.
The program will be broken into two parts: the morning session will be primarily lecture, and the afternoon session will include hands-on role-playing exercises and individualized training. In addition, there will be a question-and-answer period. Participants can sign-up for either the morning lecture or the full-day program.
The event will be held in the North Dining Room on the Lakewood campus, and advance registration is required. The half-day program will run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and costs $75 per participant. The full-day program, with buffet lunch, will run until 3:00 p.m. and costs $100 per participant. Reduced fees are available for graduate students with proper identification. For information about the program's content, contact Dr. Mimi da Silva at 732.987.2619. To register for the program, contact the Office of Conference and Special Events at 732.987.2263.
Founded in 1908 and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, Georgian Court University is a comprehensive university with a strong liberal arts core and a special concern for women. A forward-thinking university that supports diversity and academic excellence, Georgian Court serves over 3,000 students of all faiths and backgrounds in a residential Women's College and a coeducational University College with undergraduate and graduate programs. Georgian Court's main campus is located at 900 Lakewood Avenue, Lakewood, N.J., on the picturesque former George Jay Gould estate, now named a National Historic Landmark. Georgian Court also offers classes at its site at 90 Woodbridge Center Drive in Woodbridge and at Coastal Communiversity in Wall and Cumberland County College in Vineland.

great pants
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 11"Weight: 200 lbsSize Purchased: large
pants are great for pulling on over you current hiking clothes. They have nice side zips that are long and let you vent out while staying dry from the rain. material is the same as the jacket. I wear around a 34 and got the large. they are slim fitting.
OR Foray Pants
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I both the pants as well as the jacket. Amazing gear from OR as always! Did an 8 day Mt. Kilimanjaro trek and both performed extremely well.
The Good and Bad
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
A lightweight, "Paclite Gore-Pex" rain pant with 1/2 to 3/4 side zips for easy of getting on and off with boots on. These were what I wanted use on long day hikes and backpack trips. The Sizing was a little weird for me . Im 6ft 170lbs and 33inch waist. The M fit the best if not a tad on the athletic fitting side (which I prefer). Large was too big in waist, I had to cinch the waist band all the way; i had hiking pants on during the fitting; and the length of the legs was too long, and I was worried about rubbing during hiking. I went with the Medium and still feel they are just a tad small but not a big problem. The real problem is these started to wet out on the first use in the backcountry, and by the second day they were a fail after just 2 hours in the rain. Wet-out was down the entire upper front half of the pant and the lower foot of the pants. The breathability was now compromised, and i started to get nice and moist on the inside of the pant. I also discovered that they are not very durable, as sitting down for one meal I already had a small hole in the seat, lucky my upper shell shielded the hole from rain. The wet out may just be a OR/gore-tex defect/warranty issue, and may not reflect on all of these pants. To have these kind of problems on the first use of these pants is not what I expected. Unfortunately I will have to go to gore-tex or OR for return as I purchased these in winter and have not used them until summer so BC.com will not accept the return. OR makes some great gear but these did meet my expectations. Hope these work better for others.

Great pants to always carry in your pack
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I like them. It is enough small to carry it everywhere and seems to be tough enough for survive a few branches in the path. I tried it in bicycle and hiking and they are easy to put on and off if there is a sudden rain. The breathability is good.

These backpacking and hiking jackets work as hard as you do, but pack down tight once the weather breaks. Tested by the IFMGA test team and refined in accordance with their feedback, the Outdoor Research Foray Jacket? and Aspire Jacket? are ready to repel even the most inhospitable wet weather.
Trip up Baker
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I bought these for a trip up Mt. Baker expecting some rain but ended up not getting any. They were still great pants for the wet, sloppy snow and they barely took up any space in my pack. Certainly a great piece to bring along on any trip.
Brandon Smith
Runs slightly small
These pants are nice. The Gore-Tex Paclite material is awesome. I am 5'10''165lbs, and ordered a medium. They are a little snug in the waist, especially going on over softshell pants. May want to size up, but overall a great shell pant for a great price.
Nick Co
How would this do as a rainier shell?

These would work great as a rain shell. They're easy to put on over other pants with the 3/4 length zippers and you could probably leave your shoes on if you needed to put them on quickly.

We think it is important for our students to also gain versatility through the study of other dance forms, such as jazz, tap, modern, hip hop, and character dance. Each style of dance enriches the student to become a more well-rounded artist.

The deterioration of Houston's past
Over the weekend, Story Sloane III posted this dramatic 1920s photo on Facebook of the intersection of Texas and Travis. His point was to show the problem many archivists face when preserving old negatives. "What you are looking at is history going blind!" Sloane wrote. "This is the natural decay of a celluloid acetate negative […] [Read More]

You don't have to be a photojournalist to see how much the craft has changed since the early 1950s. If you've managed to catch the Bayou City Noir exhibit at the Museum of Printing History, you know that what passed for news back then might not make the cut today. And why is that?

Fear of Public Speaking Statistics
Did you know that a fear of public speaking is called Glossophobia? In a recent study done by Speech Topics Help, fear of public speaking ranked as the #1 fear!
Top Ten Fears, in order:
1. Public speaking – Glossophobia
2. Death and end of life – Necrophobia
3. Spiders – Arachnophobia
4. Darkness and twilight – Achluophobia, Scotophobia or Myctophobia
5. Heights, altitude or elevations – Acrophobia
6. People or social situations – Sociophobia
7. Flying in airplanes – Aerophobia
8. Open spaces and squares – Agoraphobia
9. Natural thunder and lightning – Brontophobia
10. Confined spaces or small rooms – Claustrophobia
Wikipedia lists fear of public speaking on their short list of common fears. The fear seems to be a lot more developed in adults than it does in children, as a 2005 Gallop study of children did not list public speaking as a fear. This makes sense, as most children do not need to entertain public speaking until the reach teen or early adulthood. Supporting that claim is a similar study by Joy Burnham in the 2000′s.

SARASOTA, Fla. – When the Orioles' season ended last year, Buck Showalter said some very nice things about Alexi Casilla. He wished he could have played him more, Showalter said.
To the surprise of many, particularly Casilla, Showalter will have that opportunity again this year.
Last month, Casilla signed a minor league deal with the Orioles, and is a favorite to win a spot as a utility infielder.
"I had a couple of teams to choose [from] and I chose the Orioles," Casilla said.
[RELATED: Orioles claim Paredes on waivers from Marlins]
Last year, Casilla batted .214 in 62 games. He's glad to be back.
"Going to another team, it's hard sometimes. You've got to start from the beginning. Knowing new people. They have their own style. I know how to play here. That's why I decided to stay here," Casilla said.
Last spring, Casilla referred to himself as "the just-in-case guy." If Brian Roberts was hurt, and he was, Casilla could help fill in. Now, Roberts is gone, and Ryan Flaherty is looked upon as the starter. Jonathan Schoop is the second baseman of the future, and Casilla and Jemile Weeks will battle for playing time.
"It's going to be very interesting this spring because they have to make a decision. It's going to be a hard decision," Casilla said.

On February 6th, Human Rights Watch announced the winners of this year's Hellman-Hammett grants, awarded to "writers all around the world who have been victims of political persecution." The grants honor playwright Lillian Hellman and novelist Dashiell Hammett and are funded from Hellman's estate. This year's recipients were mostly from China, Vietnam, and Iran, and were presumably worthy and needy.
But what is a "human rights" organization doing honoring the memory of these two literary thugs? HRW says that "Hellman and Hammett were both interrogated in the 1950's about their political beliefs and affiliations" in an era when Senator Joseph McCarthy's "Communist paranoia helped fuel nearly a decade of anti-Communist 'witch hunts.'. . . Hellman suffered professionally. . . . Hammett spent time in jail."
Whatever paranoia and witch hunts there may have been in the 1950's, Hellman and Hammett could not have been among the objects, for they were Communists, true-believing, loyally-serving devotées of Stalin.
When the Soviet dictator purged his rivals, he staged grotesque "show trials" at which first the prosecutors denounced the defendants, then the defense attorneys denounced the defendants, and then the defendants—having been tortured and threatened with the murder of their families—denounced themselves. Leftist intellectuals around the world raised their voices to protest this travesty.
Hellman and Hammett, by contrast, raised their voices to denounce the protesters. They signed a petition that appeared in the Communist party journal New Masses, with the heading "Leading Artists, Educators Support Soviet Trial Verdict." They and their comrades declared that the Moscow defendants had
resorted to duplicity and conspiracy and allied themselves with long-standing enemies of the Soviet Union—nationalists who had ties with capitalist, fascist, and White Guard Allies, and even with former czarist agents provocateurs. Degeneration may therefore be charged to the defendants, and not the Soviet Union, which gains strength internally and externally by the prevention of treason and the eradication of spies and wreckers.
A far more fitting tribute to the memories of Hellman and Hammett would be an award honoring the perpetrators, rather than the victims, of political persecution.

Mobile BI tools, trends and best practices guide
A business intelligence dashboard is a data visualization tool that displays the current status of metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for an enterprise. Dashboards consolidate and arrange numbers, metrics and sometimes performance scorecards on a single screen. They may be tailored for a specific role and display metrics targeted for a single point of view or department. The essential features of a BI dashboard product include a customizable interface and the ability to pull real-time data from multiple sources.

Oracle and Microsoft are among the vendors of business intelligence dashboards. BI dashboards can also be created through other business applications, such as Excel. Business intelligence dashboards are sometimes referred to as enterprise dashboards.
The business intelligence dashboard is often confused with the performance scorecard. The main difference between the two, traditionally, is that a business intelligence dashboard, like the dashboard of a car, indicates the status at a specific point in time. A scorecard, on the other hand, displays progress over time towards specific goals. Dashboard and scorecard designs are increasingly converging. For example, some commercial dashboard products also include the ability to track progress towards a goal. A product combining elements of both dashboards and scorecards is sometimes referred to as a scoreboard.

FURNITURE SLIP COVER Filed June 13, 1936 ZSheets-Sheet 2 Patented Nov. 14, 1939 UNTED STATES PATENT OFFlCE FURNITURE SLIP COVER Application June 13, 1936, Serial N0.- 85,069
1 Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in furniture slip covers.
One object of the invention is to provide a slip cover for a stulfed article of furniture, which can be adjusted at the shoulders of the back of the article to provide a smooth fit notwithstanding the variations in width, thickness and shape of the back.
A further object of the invention is to provide a slip cover comprising front and rear panels for the back of the article of furniture to one of which panels is secured auxiliary panels or cover sections which are adapted to be brought over the shoulders of the back and the lateral edge thereof to cover the same and to have the opposite free vertical edges inserted beneath the adjacent edge of the other panel, the said auxiliary cover sections providing adjustable means for fitting the cover to articles of furniture having backs of diiierent dimensions.
Dther objects of the invention relate to various features of construction and arrangement, which will be apparent from a consideration of the following specification and accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a stuffed chair showing my improved slip cover in position thereon.
Figure 2 is a perspective View of a portion of a slip cover embodying the present improvements, the cover being shown in detached relation.
Figure 3 is a broken sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a broken sectional view taken on line l--4 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a detached view of a slip cover which differs only slightly from the form shown in Figure 2.
Figure 6 is a broken front elevation of a chair or davenport illustrating a modified form of cover.
Figure '7 is a broken detached view of a portion of the cover shown in Figure 6.
Figure 8 is a broken development of the cover section embodying the improved modification.
In the drawings, the article of furniture is a chair indicated generally by the numeral Ill, and is provided with conventional arms II, a back 52, and seat I3. The cover comprises a back panel I4, and a front panel I5, which are secured together at It. These panels form an enclosure for the front and rear portions of the back I2, but as will be seen in Figure 1, they do not enclose the shoulders I? and lateral edges IB of the chair since the vertical edges I5a of front panel l5 are unsecured to the rear panel Id. The
width of the panels I4 and I5 is somewhat narrower than the Width of the back of the chair on which the covering is intended to be used, which chairs may, of course, vary several inches in lateral dimensions. The shoulders I! and lateral portions I8 of the chair back are covered by auxiliary cover or shoulder sections I9 which, as shown in Figure 5, may be generally of rectangular shape. The shoulder sections I9 are each secured along a vertical edge to one of the panels It or I5, preferably to the former, as indicated by a line of stitching 2B which terminates above the lower edge 24 of the respective shoulder sections. The termination of the line of stitching 23 above the lower edges 24 leaves the lower portions of the sections free for tucking into the spaces at the rear of the arms, the amount tucked in depending upon the height of the chair back.
In the form of the invention shown in Figures 1 to 4 inclusive, the upper portions of the section is along the rear edges thereof are secured by stitching to the seam I6 by means of which the upper ends of panels I4 and I5 are secured together. This arrangement leaves the top edge 22, vertical edge 23, and lower edge 24 of each shoulder section I9 free.
When the cover is placed over a chair, the panels l4 and i5 are drawn down to fit the chair back properly, and the free edges 22 and 23 of the sections I9 are brought forwardly and inserted beneath the adjacent vertical edges of the panel I5 as indicated in Figures 1 and 2. The panel I5 holds the edges of the sections IS in position against disarray although if desired one or more elastic bands 25 may be attached to the free edges 23 of the sections l9 to assist in retaining the sections I9 smoothly in position around the lateral edges I8 of the chair back.
The lower edges 24 of the sections I9 are adapted to be tucked into the spaces usually provided between the rear ends of the arms II and the chair back I2.
It will be seen that the sections I9 provide means whereby a slip cover can be adjusted smoothly to chairs having backs of different widths and of different curvatures at the shoulders I8, it being necessary at times to make folds lQa in the material at a free edge of the sections in adjusting the same smoothly to the contour of the shoulders and lateral edges of the chair back.
In Figure 5 the sections I9 are shown folded outwardly in the plane of the rear panel I l. In this modification of the invention the upper portion I9b of the rear vertical edge of each section I9 is unsecured to the seam [5. In this respect only the modification of Figure differs from that above described. Leaving the edge portion l9b free enables the sections I9 to be adjusted more freely in accommodating the same to shoulders of different shapes or dimensions.
The remaining portions of the slip cover, that is the portions covering the arms I I, the cushion, and the front of the article of furniture, as well as the sides of the arms, are not pertinent to the present invention, and may be of any well known construction, that is, the cover sections for the arms I! may be of the detachable form, if v desired, as distinguished from slip covers where the arm sections are sewed to adjacent portions of the cover to form a unitary cover.
The modified form of cover shown in Figures 6 to 8 inclusive comprises a rear panel 2'! and front panel 28 for the back and front of the artimay, if desired, be formed of a single piece of material although in the drawings it is shown as comprising upper and lower sections 29a, 291) connected by a welt seam 290.
As shown in Figure 8, the section 29 is secured to the panel 28 by stitching 30 which extends between two small fiaps 3i and 32 which are integral with the portions 29a and 2% respectively and are shown in said figure as disposed beneath the lateral portions of the panels 2'! and 28 respectively. The flaps 3| and 32 are not stitched to the panels Zl, 28 but are free and facilitate the adjustment of the cover to article backs which vary in thickness from front to rear.
In fitting the cover to the artcile the panels 21 and 28 are first adjusted to the back of the article with the seam 21a extending along the upper end of the back. The portion 29a will thus be disposed at the top corner of the back, as illustrated in Figures 6 and 7 and is folded downwardly over the shoulder of the back and the portion 2% then is swung rearwardly over the free edge 29d to the rear where it is attached by pins or other fasteners 33 to the rear panel 2?. The
. portion 2% thus is disposed over the free edge of the portion 29a and holds it in position. The flaps 3| and 32 lie under the panels 21 and 28,
respectively, and being free enable the section 29 to be adjustedsmoothly to shoulders and side edges of article backs of different dimensions.
Where the cover is fitted to chairs having relatively narrow backs, I have found that it can be fitted smoothly over the shoulders by swinging sections 2% rearwardly and smoothly tucking any surplus portions of the section 29a under the panel 28 at the top of the back rather than under the section .29?) as above described. If desired an elastic 25 may be attached to the margins of the portions 2% and extend transversely of the article back beneath the panel 21.
As illustrated in Figures 6 and 7, the portion 29a of section 29 covers the shoulder or corner of the back and the welt seam 290 extends from front to rear around the edge of the back to give the cover a finished appearance at this portion thereof.
The lower edge 29c of the portion 29b preferably is curved, as illustrated, which edge is tucked into: the space usually provided between the rear ends of the arms and the article back.
While I have shown and described certain embodiments of my improvements for the purpose of illustration, I do not wish to be restricted specifically thereto except as so limited by the appended claim.
I claim:
A slip cover for an article of furniture having arms and a back providing a space between the rear ends of said arms and back, said cover comprising front and rear cover panels for the back having lateral edges unsecured together and being of a width insufiicient to enclose the shoulders and sides of the article back, and cover sections for each of said shoulders and lateral sides of the article back secured at one edge only to one of said panels and comprising an upper shoulder portion adapted to be folded downwardly into smoothly fitting relation with said shoulder and having a free lower edge, and a cooperating portion adapted to be folded substantially horizontally across the corresponding side of the article for attachment to the other panel and having an upper edge arranged to overlap said lower edge of said shoulder portion to secure the same in position, said cooperating portions being of such length vertically that the lower edges thereof can be tucked into said spaces between said back and the adjacent arms for retaining said portions in position.

Consumers clueless about exchanges
By BenefitsPro
By Allison Bell
Few Web users seem to know where they'll go to get information about the exchanges.
Kev Coleman, an analyst at HealthPocket.com, a health insurance plan information site, has published data on consumers' thoughts about the exchange system in a summary of results from an online survey of 1,150 consumers.
Coleman collected the survey data by posting a form on about 100 news and information websites.
Only 3 percent said they would use the new crop of navigators -- but only 31 percent said they thought they would turn to friends, relatives, the Internet, doctors or pharmacists.
About 67 percent said they would go nowhere for PPACA exchange information or aren't sure where they'll go.
In other PPACA exchange news:
- Cover Oregon, the PPACA exchange for Oregon, says it will start selling coverage through agents and "community partners" Oct. 1 but won't have its website up until later in October. But the exchange does plan to start enrollment for both individual and Small Business Health Options Program small-group plans that month.
- If you run a group that's to make PPACA exchange "certified application counselors" available in Nevada, you can already use a form to apply for reimbursement for certification-related expenses from Nevada Health Link, that state's PPACA exchange.
