Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Pablo Debenedetti
(Princeton University)
We present clear evidence of the existence of a metastable liquid-liquid phase transition in the ST2 model of water. Using four different techniques (the weighted histogram analysis method with single-particle moves, well-tempered metadynamics with single-particle moves, weighted histograms with parallel tempering and collective particle moves, and conventional molecular dynamics), we calculate the free energy surface over a range of thermodynamic conditions, we perform a finite size scaling analysis for the free energy barrier between the coexisting liquid phases, we demonstrate the attainment of diffusive behavior, and we perform stringent thermodynamic consistency checks. The results provide conclusive evidence of a first-order liquid-liquid transition. We also show that structural equilibration in the sluggish low-density phase is attained over the time scale of our simulations, and that crystallization times are significantly longer than structural equilibration, even under deeply supercooled conditions. We place our results in the context of the theory of metastability.

Which memory and hard drive?
I am buying a macbook shortly and definitely want 2 gigs of RAM and likely a 120 gig hard drive. I've heard never to get the RAM from apple because of cost. Is the same true for the hard drive?
I'm a 'switcher' from the windows world so I'm new to this. How hard is it to upgrade memory and hard drive? is there simply a slot to load the memory into? Physically I imagine the hard drive is not that hard to replace but how hard it is then to set up with MacOS X? Would I save a lot by doing the hard drive on my own?
Most of all, when I look for memory and a hard drive what do I look for brand wise or technology wise? Is it the same as on a PC?
Last, in case I do go with a Macbook Pro instead do they use the same memory and hard drives?
The harddrive and RAM are both very easy to upgrade, they both sit have access bays that sit near each other.
I'd either get the 80GB drive from apple and upgrade later, or go for the 60GB drive and upgrade it now. (I went for the 80, as it's enough for the time being and is the least expensive upgrade over the stock 60GB drive).
i have never heard of any problems with aftermarket ram, i used patriot ram to upgrade my laptops and it runs GREAT
I'd recommend the G.Skill ram and the 7200rpm Seagate hard drives. Make sure you get a 2.5 SATA drive.

5 Helpful Tips for Doing Karaoke with Your Co-Workers
What do you do about girls who wear leggings as pants, are drunk on Long Island iced teas, fist pump with abandon and sing awful songs? -- I Hate Everything About You
As a KJ, I loathe this situation. When I match the five names on the "Shoop" request slip to the ridiculous girls sitting on each others's laps and scrunching up pages in my song book, I put their song off as long as possible, hoping they'll get bored and leave before any of us have to live through what I know will be visual and aural hell. Mean? Maybe. But that's the power that comes with being the karaoke host.
When I can't delay the inevitable any longer, I turn down their mic volume and crank up the music to spare the ears of those in the crowd. I also tweet the awfulness to my 1,551 Twitter followers. You've been warned, people.
What do you think about user-added profanity? Many moons ago, my future wife dared me to drop F-bombs during "Come Sail Away." I won $1. -- Fuck the Pain Away
No one likes a "fuck-er." It might be Adam Sandler-funny at first, but if you drop "fuck" after "fuck" after "fuck" into "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," your audience is bound to get bored and your KJ will wish lasers could shoot out of her eyes and disintegrate you. Don't be that guy.
That's not you, though. You sound like the kind of guy who would thoughtfully make sure no children are eating dinner in the bar (it happens) when you're considering going full-pottymouth. The kind of guy who would assess his audience's song interests and humor level before trying his hand at blue karaoke. The kind of guy who would know exactly where to drop the most "fucks" into his song for maximum impact. In other words, you sound like a classy kind of "fuck-er," and I would happily welcome you to the stage.
Unti you fuck it up, that is. Then I'm turning down your mic.
As an in-demand karaoke host at multiple bars and events, Allison Babka receives her share of drunken song dedications, occasionally makes people cry and even has been glorified by a singing psychic. She's considering adding "Call Me Maybe" to her personal karaoke repertoire, and she hates herself for it. Bug her with karaoke nonsense on Twitter at @ambabka, and use #rftkaraoke.

Plans to redevelop Wadebridge Town Football Club's ground revealed
Posted: February 17, 2014|
A MULTIMILLION-POUND plan to redevelop Wadebridge Town Football Club's ground into a large housing complex is under way.
The proposal is to build 165 homes at Bodieve Park, with the football club relocating within the planned Bodieve Village.
A new link road is also planned through the development.
The scheme will provide the football club with a new ground and expand its range of training pitches.
The "village'' will incorporate eight acres of land the football club owns, plus adjoining private land.
An exhibition of the proposals will be held at the football club on February 27 for the public to view the plans.
Three years ago, the club was hoping to sell its pitches to Morrisons for a new supermarket, but the retailer lost out to Sainsbury's.
Morrisons' development partner was Merriman Ltd, and the same Leicestershire-based company is now involved in the Bodieve Village scheme.
The planning consultant for the application is Barton Willmore, which has been acting on behalf of Mercia Developments, which is behind the £110 million Coyte Farm retail scheme near St Austell.
Football club chairman Steve Cudmore said he hoped the new proposals would find favour with residents and Cornwall Council.
"We feel it's a win-win scheme for everyone. The town needs more houses and we need to offer more facilities to the community.
"We have 11 youth teams using the present pitches every week, and the new scheme will provide additional training pitches, which we feel are required due to the demand we have at the club.
Mr Cudmore felt the sale of the land could, in time, provide further benefits for residents.
"We are a community club and eventually we would like to provide an indoor facility for the use of the whole community," said Mr Cudmore.
Michael Merriman, of Merriman Ltd, said after the Morrisons' scheme was refused in 2011, the company had taken time to consider how best to deliver the relocation of the football club, together with improving the junction of Gonvena Hill and Bodieve Road, in a way which was viable.
"Our latest plans involve relocating the football club to a new location at Bodieve Village, which will provide significantly enhanced facilities for the club, thereby safeguarding its long-term future," he said.
"These facilities will include a full-sized football pitch, an all-weather pitch, two junior pitches and three under-8s' pitches, changing rooms, a clubhouse and grandstand.
"In addition, up to 165 high quality, sustainable, new homes will be developed on the existing football ground and surrounding land which will also accommodate a new link road to address the existing traffic problems at the Gonvena Hill/Bodieve Road mini-roundabout.
"After working with Wadebridge Town Football Club for a number of years, I'm very excited about the redevelopment proposals coming to fruition and the significant benefits that will be delivered for the local community, including enhanced sports and recreation facilities, improved highway conditions and much-needed new homes," he said.

You've never fully visited Kuala Lumpur if you didn't have drinks at SkyBar. Nestled on the 33rd floor of Traders Hotel, it is a facility with a lap pool by day and transforms into a chic watering hole at night. It has an amazing view of the city and the iconic Petronas Towers.
We got a sunken booth between the lap pool and the glass window that overlooks everything. If you are afraid of heights, this will be unnerving! Try not to fall also on the lap pool beside you. With just half a meter or so of board to walk on, it would be a challenge for those intoxicated guests. Sounds fun right?!
As I sip on my Caipirinha while enjoying the company of my beer drinking friends, I can't help but to marvel how the "lifestyle of having fun" has changed. The trend now is to go how far altitude can take you. Drink, dance and be merry to your heart's content while you see your world go beneath your feet.
And as I count down the few remaining minutes until my 25th birthday celebration is officially over, I see my future bright… as bright as the lit up twin towers behind me. I also see this new lifestyle escalating into something even more exciting and of course, I will definitely be there to witness, enjoy and share with you all.
Let's toast to the good life!

Tour operator Holidays 4 U has gone bust with almost 13,000 UK travellers overseas and many more in the UK unable to go on booked holidays. Here's our easy-to-use guide on what to do if you're affected.
Holidays 4 U, which also traded as Aegean Flights, went into administration on Wednesday, August 3, 2011.
The Brighton-based tour operator sold package holidays and flights to Turkey.
All trips and flights booked through the Brighton-based operator have now been cancelled and customers are advised not to travel to airports.
Customers of Holidays 4 U are protected under the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)'s Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (ATOL) protection scheme, so the advice for those abroad is to stay in your accommodation until the end of the trip as normal.
The CAA is organising return flights to the UK for customers as close to your original departure time as possible. So customers are advised to arrive at the airport in time to check-in for their flights home as normal, unless instructed otherwise. If there are any flight changes, information will be placed on the CAA website.
If you do need to pay for extra nights, transport and other outgoings, the CAA will refund you provided the cost is reasonable. Make sure you keep any receipts.
Some hoteliers do not understand the ATOL scheme and there have been reports of customers being asked to pay for their accommodation again.
The CAA say if customers are forced to pay again for accommodation, they should send a completed claim form to the CAA on their return home for a refund.
Passengers who booked package holidays with Holidays 4 U should complete a CAA claim form and they will be eligible for a refund under the ATOL scheme.
Passengers who booked flights only with Holidays 4 U are also ATOL protected and are also entitled to a refund.
But this refund does not extend to accommodation or excursions booked separately. In such cases, customers are advised to contact the travel agent they booked with to ask about refunds or see if alternative arrangements can be made.
If your package holiday or flight is ATOL protected then you are due a refund from the CAA under the ATOL scheme.
However, if you paid for your booking on a credit card and the total cost of the booking was more than £100, then you are equally entitled to pursue a refund from your credit card company.
This applies even if you only paid part of the cost of the booking on your credit card – as little as a penny, for example. As long as the total booking was more than £100, no matter how much or how little of this you paid on your credit card, you can seek a refund of the whole amount from your credit card issuer.
The CAA advise that if you paid by credit card you should pursue a refund from your card issuer in the first instance.
Make it clear that you are asking for a refund under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.
isa debit cards are covered by its Chargeback scheme, which offers similar protection to Section 75. To make a claim, contact your card issuer and say you want to make a claim under the Visa Chargeback scheme.
If you have a claim you believe is legitimate but that is rejected under either the Section 75 or Chargeback scheme, you can complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).
Some travel insurance policies do cover tour operator failure so have a read of your paperwork and see if you are eligible to make a claim. But be aware that insurers will not pay out on claims that have already been paid through the ATOL scheme.
The CAA is providing information to all Holiday 4 U customers who are currently overseas and may be experiencing difficulties on 0044 (0) 161 444 5810.
Those with forward bookings requiring general advice about refunds under the ATOL scheme can contact the CAA on 08444 933037.
Have you been affected by the Holidays 4 U collapse? Or any of the other tour operator collapses in recent years? What was your experience? Did you find it straightforward to obtain a refund? We're keen to hear from you. You can use the comment form below.

QUICK SUMMARY: Caleb Joseph's RBI double scored the go-ahead run and sparked a six-run eighth inning as the Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 8-3.
With the score tied at 2, Joseph's double off Alexi Ogando (2-3) scored Delmon Young. Nelson Cruz added a three-run home run.
Brian Matusz (2-1) pitched 1 1/3 innings in relief of Ubaldo Jimenez for the win.
Adam Jones had four hits, Nick Markakis had three as the Orioles had 17.
WELCOME BACK: Cruz received a mixed response in his first game back in Arlington, Tex. After leaving the Rangers as a free agent. Cruz hit his major league leading 21st home run, a three-run shot, in the eighth inning. He also leads the majors with 55 RBIs.
STOP WALKING: For the 10th time in 12 starts, Jimenez didn't make it past the sixth inning. He allowed a run and four hits in 5 2/3 innings, but walked four. Jimenez has issued at least four walks in four starts.
JONES HITS: Jones had his 12th four-hit game, the second of the season. His fourth inning home run gave the Orioles a 1-0 lead. It was his first since 18.
SIX AN INNING: For the second straight game, the Orioles equaled a season high with six runs in an inning. They've done it three times this season.
THREE STRAIGHT: The Orioles have won three straight, their fourth winning streak of at least three.
STILL NOT BEATING JOE: Texas starter Joe Saunders has never lost to the Orioles in seven decisions. Though he left on the short end of a 2-1 score, the Rangers quickly got him off the hook.
THAT'S WEIRD: After starting his major league career with just two hits in 29 times at bat, Joseph went 2-for-4.
COMING UP: Bud Norris (3-5, 4.04) faces Nick Martinez (1-1, 2.75) in the second game of the three-game series on Wednesday night.

The DasSarma laboratory was established in 1986, soon after the discovery of the Archaea. Since then, we have been studying these novel microbes and their mechanisms of adaptation to challenging habitats, including extreme environments and the human microbiome. We use a combination of genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, transcriptomics, and other approaches to address problems of fundamental importance. Our favorite model organism is Halobacterium sp. NRC-1, a salt-loving, radiation-resistant, and desiccation-tolerant archaeon that is easy to culture in the lab and genetically tractable. We led the sequencing project on Halobacterium (with an international consortium of 12 laboratories), which was published in the October 2000 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA. The NRC-1 genome consists of a 2 Mbp circular chromosome and two large plasmids, pNRC100 (191 kbp) and pNRC200 (365 kbp). We have since studied many of the ca. 2,500 genes in the genome and pursued translational research through genetic engineering and biotechnology. For example, the gas vesicle gene cluster of Halobacterium, which has been of long term interest, is bioengineerable, and is being used for antigen delivery and vaccine development. Our studies of microaerobically induced genes led to the discovery of novel regulators, such as the bacterio-opsin activator (Bat) and DMSO reductase regulator (DmsR). Gene regulation studies in our lab have also led to the discovery that expanded families of eukaryotic-type transcription factors (TBP and TFB) coordinate promoter selection and expression of different classes of genes under different growth conditions. Another interest of the lab concerns DNA replication and repair in Halobacterium, which employs both eukaryotic-type proteins (origin binding and single-stranded DNA binding, Orc and RPA) and bacterial-type proteins (nucleotide excision repair, UvrABC). These and other current studies in our laboratory are helping to better understand the strategies for microbial survival and adaptation to develop applications in medicine and the environment.

Isiah Brown was due for a big game, and he delivered one Monday night for the East Tennessee State basketball team.
The senior forward scored a season-high 23 points, grabbed nine rebounds and had five steals as the Bucs eased past James Madison 70-56 to snap a three-game losing streak. Brown hit 10 of 14 shots from the field and fell just two points shy of his career high, set against Kentucky last season.
"I've been shooting a good field-goal percentage," said Brown, who is shooting a higher percentage from the field (.543) this season than the foul line (.517), "and I got a lot of touches tonight."
Much of that was by design.
The Dukes of the Colonial Athletic Association had no real muscle inside, and Brown and the Bucs took full advantage. They held a 42-20 advantage on points in the paint and led 19-7 on second-chance points.
The first meeting between the teams in a decade got away from the Dukes early. They were looking at a 20-5 deficit after missing nine of their first 10 shots and committing 10 turnovers.
"We obviously got off to a great start," said ETSU coach Murry Bartow, "and Isiah Brown had his best game of the year. He was just sensational."
All three of the ETSU seniors had productive nights.
Adam Sollazzo bounced back from some recent struggles with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting, while Tommy Hubbard collected 13 points, five rebounds and four steals.
Sollazzo showed the form that made him a player-of-the-year candidate in the Atlantic Sun Conference, beginning with a 3-pointer and a dunk in the first 1:06. The 6-6 point guard was able to get to the rim at will and boost his team-high 15.5 scoring average.
He said afterward that it was nice to face a non-conference team that perhaps didn't know how to defend him.
"Teams (in the league) have started to scout me a little bit better," said Sollazzo, "and I haven't been playing like I'm capable of. Hitting that first big three tonight helped."
The Bucs, who managed just 12 points in the first half of their last home game, against Belmont, needed less than six minutes to build a 13-1 advantage. They never went long without a basket.
The Bucs (11-10) shot 53 percent from the field for the game and outscored the Dukes 14-5 on free throws. JMU didn't even get to the line in the second half.
"If we can clean up the offense, we have a chance to beat anybody we play," said Bartow. "This team competes hard; we just struggle to score. No one should confuse that with a lack of effort."
The Dukes (10-13) were able to dig out of the big hole early to trail 31-24 at the break. But the second half started much as the first, with the Bucs on a 12-3 run in the first four minutes.
It never got closer than nine the rest of the way.
"We got outplayed and outhustled," said Matt Brady, JMU's fourth-year head coach. "They jumped on us early and robbed us of our spirit. We did cut the deficit to seven and then came out and did it again.
"I don't know if we're a strong enough team mentally. We had 23 turnovers tonight, and that might be a season high."
Eighteen of those were steals, including six by Sheldon Cooley, the A-Sun leader in that department.
"We got a lot of them in our black press," said Bartow. "Our defense was pretty aggressive. Steals have been a consistent thing for us all season."
The Dukes got 20 points from Humpty Hitchens, their 5-9 point guard who surely makes any all-name team. Conjuring up flashbacks of another guy in a purple uniform recently pouring in 3-pointers in the Dome, Hitchens matched his career high with a half-dozen from long range.
A.J. Davis added 11 points for the Dukes.
The victory was the third straight in the series for ETSU, which now holds a 7-4 lead. The Bucs get back to A-Sun play Saturday when they visit Kennesaw State.

SELECTIVELY POSITIONABLE DIAPER ASSEMBLY FIELD This application relates to improved diaper assemblies, particularly diapers that permit selective positioning of absorbent material to the point of need depending on the activity and/or sex of the infant.
BACKGROUND Currently available diaper constructions generally have a single pad area extending from the crotch area to the waist of an infant. These diapers may be contoured for better fit in the crotch area around the legs. However, this results in the disadvantage of removing absorbent pad from the point of greatest need. As a result, padding in that area may wad because of low strength under conditions of excess wetness. Also, hav ing a large volume of absorbent pad in the waist area means that the wet area of the pad is extended upward toward the waist.
There is therefore a substantial need for a universal diaper that is simple to manufacture, and yet is completely adaptable to sex and/or activity of the infant. There is also a need for a diaper that provides additional absorbent padding at the point of need without the discomfort or malfit of a non-contoured diaper.
THE INVENTION Objects It is among the objects of this invention to provide a universal diaper with means for providing selectively added absorbent capacity in relation to the age, sex
.and/or activity of the infant.
It is another object to provide an improved diaper assembly with an auxiliary absorbent pad selectively positionable to the point of need.
It is another object to provide an improved diaper assembly having a main pad, and an auxiliary pad that is selectively positionable to the point of need without the disadvantages of prior constructions.
Still further objects will be evident from the description which follows.
FIGURES The description below has reference to the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the diapers of this invention in a folded, as received condition;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the diaper of FIG. 1 showing the auxiliary pad in a first (boy/sleep-nap) position, and a second position in phantom (girl/day);
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the diaper of FIG. 2 in use; and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a diaper of the present invention.
SUMMARY The improved diaper assemblies of this invention comprise a main pad assembly having an outer backing sheet, and an inner top sheet having an absorbent material disposed therebetween, and a selectively positionable auxiliary pad assembly movably secured to, or retained by, the main pad assembly. Depending on the age, sex and/or activity of the infant, the auxiliary pad assembly may be selectively positioned between a first, rear position and a second, front position.
The auxiliary pad results in reducing the amount of absorbent material in the main pad while placing the absorbent material at the point of need. This permits a better fit in the main pad with overall improved fluid retention capacity and no increase in cost.
The auxiliary pad assembly may be positioned in the front for a boy, for daytime activity of a young infant regardless of sex, or for sleeping or napping regardless of the age or sex of the infant (where the infant sleeps on its stomach). Conversely, the pad may be positioned in the rear for a girl, or for daytime activity of an older infant regardless of sex. For certain conditions of incontinency or diarrhea the pad may be positioned as needed.
The auxiliary pad may be movably secured as by adhesive to, or retained by, the main pad. The main pad may be of any desired configuration, contoured or non-contoured, rectangular, triangular, box pleat-type, and the like.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION The following detailed description having particular reference to the drawings is by way of example and not by way of limitation of the principles of the inventions of this application.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, diaper assembly 1, comprises a main pad assembly 2, and an auxiliary pad assembly 3. The diaper may be generally rectangular, with a front (F) to back (B) long axis as shown best in FIG. 2, or any other convenient shape such as con toured, triangular polygonal or having one or more arcuate margins. The diaper may be folded at generally right angles to the long axis for packaging, storing or shipping as best seen in FIG. .1. The diaper embodiment of FIGS. 1-3 is shown with side margin box pleats 4,5 formed by a Z-shaped fold along lines 6,7 and 8,9 respectively spaced inwardly from, and generally parallel to side margins 10,11.
The box pleats may be secured in one or more places, preferably adjacent the transverse fold axis TT, or in the crotch region of the diaper. FIG. 2 shows adhesive areas 12,13 disposed between fold lines 6,7 and 8,9 respectively to secure the pleat in the crotch area. This effectively contours the diaper, permitting good fit in the crotch area, yet the unsecured box pleat ends 14,15,16,17 can be spread to insure fit around the circumference of the infants waist. This is best shown in FIG. 3. Tape strips 18,19 are adhesive faced, and covered by release sheets 20,21. The release sheets are removed and the strips secured to the outer face 22 of the outer backing sheet 23.
The main pad assembly comprises an outer backing sheet 23 of a generally water repellant or impervious material, such as plastic, an absorbent pad material 24, and an inner fluid pervious sheet 25. The absorbent pad material may be any suitable material, such as pulverized wood pulp, absorbent cellulose wadding, synthetic or natural, woven, nonwoven, felted or intertangled fibers, non-fibrous (such as open or closed cellular foam or sponge material, continuous filament or chopped fibers, or the like. The inner and outer sheets 25,23 may be the same or different, and there may be additional intermediate or external sheets. Preferably, the innermost sheet is a woven or nonwoven filamentous sheet that has good fluid permeability properties yet has a smooth, soft feel or hand to protect the infants skin. The inner sheet may be treated with medicaments, chemical agents, deodorants, emollients, powders (e.g., baby powder), surfactants, wetting agents, salves, perfumes, bactericides, germicides, and the like,'as desired. The outer backing sheet may be any thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic, such as a polyolefin (polyethylene, polypropylene), a polystyrene, a polyvinyl plastic, such as polyvinylchloride, and the like, or may be any other fluid impervious material. Mixed polymers, laminates, coand ter-polymers may also be used. This sheet may be made by a continuous extrusion, casting, or other operation, and is preferably a homogenous web.
The auxiliary pad 3 comprises generally an absorbent pad 26 of the same or similar characteristics as pad 24 in the main assembly 2. One or both of these pads may be impregnated, saturated or loaded with deodorants, medicaments and the like as above described with respect to the inner sheet 25. The absorbent pad 26, in one embodiment may be disposed within a fluid permeable envelope 27 which is sealed at each end 28,29. As best shown in FIG. 2 comer areas 30,31 of the auxiliary pad assembly 3 are movably secured to the main pad assembly 2, in this embodiment by adhesive 12,13. The securing means may be of any suitable type, such as adhesive, heat or solvent sealing or'the like. In production, both faces of the corners 30,31 may be dipped into adhesive and inserted into the box-pleat along axis T-T', thereby simultaneously securing the auxiliary pad and box pleat.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the auxiliary pad 3 has a first position 32, and a second position 33 (in phantom in FIG. 2). The first position is generally useful for a male infant, when the diaper is placed as shown in FIG. 3. This position is also the preferred position for a napping or sleeping infant regardless of sex, or for a young or chronically incontinent infant whose activity is primarily crawling or lying on the stomach. In the flipped, or second, position 33, the auxiliary pad is generally preferred for female infants, or infants of upright activity, as for older, walking or feeding activities. It likewise is useful for infants regardless of sex afflicted with diarrhea or other such bowel conditions. Thus, the auxiliary pad may be flip-flopped about T-T' as an axis from one position to another depending on the infant age, sex, activity or health condition.
The auxiliary pad is not restricted to being a separate envelope as shown in FIGS. l3, but may be any selectively positionable absorbent pad means. For example, the auxiliary pad may be a looped or pleat-type extension of the main pad shown in FIG. 4, an extension of the box pleat or the like. As shown in FIG. 4, main pad 24 is pleated along the transverse fold axis T-T to form upwardly extending auxiliary pad assembly 3. Adhesive 12',l3 may be employed to secure the inner surfaces of the auxiliary padding 26 to form the pleat. The top sheet may also be pleated to form the envelope 27. The construction of the balance of the diaper assembly 1 is as above described for FIGS. 13. Arcuate arrows C and D show the ability to selectively position the auxiliary pad assembly from the first position 32 to the second position 33.
It should be understood that various modifications within the scope of this invention can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit thereof. I therefore wish my invention to be defined by the scope of the appended claims as broadly as the prior art will permit, and in view of this specification if need be.

- I was trying to make a cake the other day using a two ingredient recipe I found on Pinterest while waiting for a coat of paint to dry in the garage. Discovered that I had no can opener (Scott must have taken it when he moved out – I think it was his), but assuming I had it, had already emptied the first of the two ingredients into a bowl. Stuck with a spice cake mixture and no other ingredients to make the cake the old fashioned way, I tried to open the can with a power tool (with a blade made for soft metal). OCD won out and stopped because I realized I was terrified of having anything from my garage actually touch my food. I still have all my fingers despite the few minutes of sheer lunacy that made me think this was a good idea (so don't try this at your own home if you prefer not to earn nicknames like "Nubs McMoron").
- Upon looking for said can opener, realized that I had a tape measure in my silverware drawer.
- Upon looking for tin foil to cover the bowl and take it to my parents house where they have a can opener, realized that I had sandpaper in the drawer where I keep foil and plastic wrap. Plastic wrap was missing.
- Plastic wrap was upstairs in the master bathroom from its last use of covering a wet paint brush. Which is now dry and rock solid. I'm glad I don't spend more than $5 on these brushes and that I buy them in bulk to account for my well-intentioned but poorly executed plan at saving myself extra effort.
- Nine out of ten of my fingernails have bright white tips. I don't know if this is by luck, if I just have caulk underneath them, or if it's because the tenth is stained from multiple run-ins with the nozzle of spray paint, and they just look phenomenal by comparison.
- On most days, I have paint somewhere on my skin that didn't wash out from the shower the day before. Today it happens to be a birthmark-like shape on my left forearm from brushing up against one of the fake candy gumdrops I was painting in the garage. I'm just thankful it's not splinters.
- I'm glad it's winter, because that means I can wear tights over my legs for work and hide random bruises on my shins.
- I have two constant lists in my phone now: Groceries and Hardware Store.
- I am still so very, very thankful that I have a hobby I feel so passionate about that I let it turn my brain into mashed potatoes.
These are just a few of the thoughts or observations I've made as of late…
I didn't wind up posting a thankful list on Thanksgiving as I originally intended to do. And even if it's over a week after the holiday, it's never too late to talk about what I'm thankful for. And my crazy, random, often confusing/frustrating DIY life is certainly something to be thankful for. I'm happy that I live close enough to family to be able to ask for their help (and even more thankful that they actually say yes). I am very thankful for my readers and the success this blog has brought me (and the sanity of being able to commiserate with similar home-obsessed people). Have any of your own you'd like to add? Please feel free to share.
Your blog always makes me smile
Hey there!
I stumbled upon your blog while trying to find DIY butcher block countertops, and shower stall tiling. Your website is really helpful and funny at the same time. Just wanted to pay you a compliment and let you know how cute and beautiful you are :) Keep doing what you're doing, you're awesome!
Came accross your blog while googling "how to paint kitchen cabinets without having to sand them"- I've now been reading all your posts for the last 3 hours and have completely ignored my offspring and made myself a hardware store list with loads of your tips- thanks so much for your blog, your posts are fabulous and make me feel less like a crazed diy-er :)

Creepy but excellent Condo-esque paintings from artist Nathan James will weird out your Wednesday
Like a surreal trip into a tripping F.Scott Fitzgerald's head, or a peek into a young George Condo's sketchbooks, London-based artist Nathan James' new series is a pretty extraordinary experience. From occasional comic-book style humour to Dali-esque dripping faces, Nathan's paintings are a positive assault on the senses, slapping you round the face with stark references to art and sexual behaviour.
His biography describes how his new series, Creepshow, focuses on "the lives and worlds of the underclass, failures, perverts and slackers, rather than beautiful, successful people. Bleak comedy and personal tragedy sit uncomfortably close together in James' characters, which draw on both the failed industrial background of his childhood and the current mood of insecurity and paranoia present in contemporary society."

Now changed, Maryland's Wes Brown back from suspension
Damian Prince describes "surreal" visit to FSU
COLLEGE PARK--Suspended running back Wes Brown stood before a group of young people as part of the long and winding road that the team laid out to lead him back to the Maryland football program.
He was supposed to talk to them.
Talk to them about responsibility and maturity and the reality that the window of opportunity can be slammed in one's face at a moment's notice, as his appeared to be when he had a run-in with police over the summer.
The charges of felony wiretapping, second-degree assault, and theft against him were all dropped, but he was suspended by the university for one year. If he hit certain benchmarks, his suspension would be reduced to one semester.
So there stood Brown to tell his story when he noticed a young man he recognized. He did not recognize him by his face, but rather his demeanor. His body language was negative. The message Brown was conveying didn't seem to be sinking in.
He later confided in Maryland running backs coach Andre Powell and told him about the young man.
"'When I looked at that kid,' he said, 'That was me,'" Powell recalled of his conversation with Brown on Wednesday. "He was able to call the kid out and talk to him, you know, one-on-one and say, "Hey man, you look like what I used to look like. You're headed down a dangerous path.'"
For Brown, his window of opportunity has reopened, having hit those benchmarks and returned to the university. He is enrolled in classes for the spring semester while officially making his way back onto the crowded depth chart at running back for the Terrapins.
The narrative is that Brown has changed, though the sample size since his return in January is small. Offensive coordinator Mike Locksley says there is "no doubt" that he sees a different Brown, one who is altered by what he worked through in the fall.
[RELATED: Terps set dates for Pro Day, Spring Game]
"Any time you miss football," Locksley said. "I think there's an experience that comes along with it … to where they understand what it's like to have something you enjoy taken away from you."
And Locksley says Brown's speech tour was part of that growth.
"What a great story to be able to go back to some of the young players that are coming up to understand that playing football is a privilege."
But underneath the story of redemption is the reality of what Brown faces now.
Coaches say he has stayed in shape, though that is often different from football shape, and walks into a crowded depth chart that includes two players who split time in 2013--Brandon Ross and Albert Reid--along with contributing freshman Jacquille Veii.
"Is there emotion? I'm sure for Wes there is," Locksley said. "For me, you know, the emotion is being excited to be able to have an integral piece back to utilize within our offense."
Brown rushed for 382 yards on 90 carries and scored two touchdowns during his freshman season. As Maryland moves into the Big Ten with its zone-read offense, Brown figures to be a factor if he regains and builds on the success he found as a freshman.
But both Powell and Locksley care, too, about whether Brown's change is genuine.
"He's been back a month," Powell said. "So time will tell."

What are you talking about James? There is no "blip". Smyly has been solid and reliable period. Wait until the kid struggles to tell us not to worry.
What we need to worry about is JL's hands off managerial style. It is not all about outcome, or as he puts it -"we just need to hit better and win some games". Bull. It is about playing the game the right way, and having a will to win so strong that it pushes you over the top even when you do not have your "A" game as our hitters do not. It is time for the manager to push his guys a bit and get them playing the game the right way.
Title of article is simply not accurate. Smyly did not get "roughed up". Two mistakes to one good hitter was the extent of the damage. Smyly has shown himself to be a very solid and reliable #3 starter behind JV and Fister. He has had success against of a number of top hitting teams in the league.
The reason for the loss is not Smyly, but the lack of offiense against a guy that the pitching starved Yankees cut loose. Another embarrassing day of wasted at bats and weakly hit balls.
We keep hoping that the Tigers will build on the momentum of positive results like JV's 1 hitter, but they are dead.
And, Leyland's philosophy is too outcome focused. Leadership does matter. I agree with JL that it is not necessarily about everybody being best friends or some intangible team chemistry, but it is about "playing the game the right way". And these Tigers as a whole (with exceptions) are not playing the game the right way.
They have a leader -- a guy like JV who does the right things between starts and during starts to make sure his body and mind are ready to play the game. THAT matters. I do not see that on this team. I do not see a WILL TO WIN.
Great teams find a way when they are not hitting. JL's philosophy is "shucks we just have to start hitting better" and then everything will be fine. That is only half of it. You need guys who are determined to find a way to win UNTIL they start hitting better---and our manager needs to be the leader of that group. He needs to push them. Just like he did in '06 when he tore into them at the end of Spring training. It works Jim. Don't give us the "modern athlete" crap as an excuse to stop pushing guys who need a little push.
His name is Calvin Johnson, and he played for Georgia Tech.
Sorry for the typo...obviously Schwartz*!
Mayhew will get Scwartz signed. Hoping he gets a long-term deal. The team has blossomed under his leadership. He deserves to enjoy the success he has been instrumental in creating. For those of you who have any doubts, just think where this team was when he arrived. I just hope he does not gear back on his commitment and intensity because a Goodell or a few sportswriters whine about it.
Get 'em Jim!!!
Everyone needs to see this for what it is. It is Obama following Rove's playbook to get his base energized for the 2012 election. Rove used initiatives on social issues in key battleground states to make sure the republican base turned out in 2004. He was able to get the social conservatives to show up in those states and thereby get GWB a 2nd term.
Similarly Obama is using this strategy to get the unions to be fully engaged in Michigan, a key battleground state for him, especially with Romney's ties to MI. Without MI Obama does not have a chance. So, he must get this type of initiative on the ballot to make certain all of the union members show up at the polls in November.
The rest of it means very little, and Haglund has no credibility because he does not know how to tell the truth. Like most liberals, for him words and rhetoric are just tools to be used however he needs as long as he reaches the ends. Not sure why I waste my time reading his nonsense.
The question still stands for the pro-choicers to answer:
Are you willing to give the same resonable doubt to the existence of an independent human life in the womb, that you are willing to give to a defendant on trial and subject to the death penalty?
Kolb is inflamatory and his article is really a waste of time for anyone who is serious about the subject. I want the two minutes of my life that you wasted Mr. Kolb. Please let at least let a few conscious thoughts weave their way into your anger-driven vitriol.
One question for those who are in favor of an unfettered right to choose abortion:
Are you willing to give the same resonable doubt to the existence of an independent human life in the womb, that you are willing to give to defendant on trial and subject to the death penalty?
Think about this and the implications of being wrong in your position. Should we be that careless with the lives of innocent human beings?
I feel terrible for this Ms. Anderson, but this accident happened in 2008? Mr. Agar, just curious, how far back are you going to reach -- any accidents from the 1990s that you are going to be reporting on next? What about horse and buggy accidents from the 1890s? We all understand the concern about distracted driving, but reaching back that far does more to undermine your point than to establish it.
Not saying they should do this for sure, but I kind of would like to see both SUH and FAIRLEY at D End. Then they would have to let Avril go, and would need another DT. They are both so big and athletic.
Bad title --- makes it appear as if Mayhew was serious. And then the article makes it clear he was joking.
Dont feed the trolls - silver_rush = Whodat = FudgePacker (aka PackerBacker).
Fudgepacker is back with a different name? We know who you Whodat...a Fudgepacker by any other is a Fudgepacker still. (or Silver_rush)...all the same person.
Dictate to the defense...throw it to 81 down the field and keep doing it over and over. That and that only will open up the rest of the offense. It is Linehans job to design motion or whatever he has to to get 81 the ball, and to direct Stafford to throw it to him---especially early. Make the Saints adjust and then the Lions will have the upper hand and their best chance to win. Go Lions!
The last time the DQ in Dallas tried tugging on Superman's cape, it came back to bite him. I think Greg Williams might better keep his mouth closed or he is likely to get the same treatement. Don't mess with 81.
Evans is wrong on his offensive advice as well--- force the ball to Calvin early and often. That is your best chance to win.
Harbaugh is a punk. Everyone forgets that the Lions outplayed the 49ers in that game.
Evans is way off. Stopping the running game does nothing against the Saints. This is a passing league, and they will live and die with Brees. We need pressure, and have to contain Jimmy Graham, who is Brees' safety valve.
Brees loves to step up in the pocket, so pressure up the middle will determine whether the Lions win or lose the game. It is time for Suh to be what he can be. Grow up and step up young man. This is the kind of game where he can begin to make his legend in the league.
FudgePacker I am sure you have not idea what a vajj looks like.
PackerBacker (ie. FudgePacker) is a troll. Do not feed the trolls.

CHILDREN OF GOD explores the life of the children who live beside the Baghmati River in Nepal on the sacred grounds of a Hindu temple in Katmandu, an area forgotten and ignored by the world, but considered the holiest and most sacred to the Nepalese people. The children are undeterred by the daily cries and wailing from the daily funeral ceremonies; instead they rob the corpses for food and dive into the river to grab coins used as funeral offerings by the mourners. Some risk their lives by begging while others fall prey to drugs and disease. The documentary exposes the social conditions of the suppressed Nepalese people through the plight of their children, where reverence for the old and dead far outweighs the care for the young and living. Experiencing their innocence and their hardship through songs, stories and heartbreaking living conditions, CHILDREN OF GOD exposes the contradiction of the material world that rests upon perhaps the most spiritual culture on earth.

Reminiscent of "Children Underground" (Romania, 2000). Keeps us wondering when death is kinder than continued life. Shows how funeral rituals provide steady income for orphans. Deficiencies: Wrong aspect ratio in full-screen mode; too many nostril and eyeball shots.
heartbreaking...but at the same time, a must see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a heavy film that follows a short time in the lives of 3 children living on the streets of Katmandu Nepal. Their lives are hard and spent mostly scrounging for their next meal. While thier mother is somewhat present she is not available to her kids while drunk (much of the film).
There may be a ray of hope for the kids but it isn't really visible to the viewers. The filmmakers did a commendable job capturing the plight of the children living on the edge of society.
Most fascinating to me was their location next to the crematorium and the hospital. The fact that the hospital is less a place of recovery than that of hospice was a saddening realization. It was hard to watch the families that came through the hospital and then on to the cremation sites on the edge of the river. Though this was a secondary focus of the filmmakers they did an admirable job treating the rituals with reverence and the families with respect.
We hope you're enjoying this free preview.

Vista, California skateboarder and Blackbox employee Austin Lee is asking for your help and donations to fully fund 3 new skatepark projects throughout the US.
Here is a little more information from Austin about this project:
My intent was to create an organization that generated revenue which would then be donated to skate park projects around the globe.
If everyone who was interested in helping build skateparks around the world simply pitched in a few dollars, large portions of money could be then donated to a few select parks all throughout the world.
But, it simply wouldn't be fair to collect peoples money without previously telling them exactly what skatepark organization their money is going to.
Which is why I'm lowering the asking price from $150,000 to 30,000 and selecting 3 parks that caught my interest and the reasons why I've selected them. If the goal is reached, each of the 3 cities will then receive a $10,000 donation.
1. -Cloquet skatepark committee- location: Cloquet MN.
Reason being, I'm originally from St. Cloud Minnesota and had helped build a skate park in our town. During the time of completion, Cloquet began their skate park committee.
I got in contact with advocate, Matt Q. Anderson and he has told me of multiple fundraisers over the last couple years, shoveling driveways for free to gain petitions and even spent years serving on the parks and recreation board. After a couple years of hard work and dedication, I think Cloquet deserves some hard hitting donations in order to receive their goal of $250,000.00
2. -Vista skatepark committee-
Location: Vista CA.
This may seem bias being that I currently live in vista. However, the reason behind their donation is because I have personally met most of the members on the committee and they are some of the hardest working individuals I've ever met. Vista's project has been in the makings for several years now and has made great stride in coming closer to completion. After years of convincing nay-Sayers on the council and throughout neighborhoods, the mayor and city council have approved the concept of not just one but two locations in vista! This just means their gonna need a little more funding to begin the construction phases. Big ups to Jack and the vista skatepark coalition, your hard work is not unrecognized!
3. -Birmingham skatepark committee-
Location: Birmingham Alabama
I don't know a whole lot about this project, but I do know that this place needs a skatepark and the skaters are heavily involved which is my absolute favorite. With nearly 1000 supporters for this skatepark and years of perseverance in getting the concept designs, city approval of both the park and the location they are currently in the fundraising stage. They are looking to raise $400,000.00
For those who support skateboarding and also understand the struggles that skateboarders deal with by having limited access to a public use facility, this is your opportunity to help out.
Please understand that I am not here to profit in any way except through self gratification. I will be posting progress through Instagram and Facebook and am hoping you continue to follow up on these projects as I will be.

Lose yourself in wonder of aerial acrobatics show
Posted: February 14, 2013|
Forget seat numbers on this visit to the theatre, as you won't need them when Ockham's Razor return to Lincoln with their new show Not Until We Are Lost.
After their sell-out visit to the city last year, the aerial theatre company who mix circus, physical theatre and story-telling is back for seven days of performances starting Friday, February 15. And the new show will allow audiences to mingle through the actual performance and get very up close and personal if they choose to.
Inspired by the Henry David Thoreau quote: "Not until we are lost do we begin to find ourselves," this interactive performance is promising an emotive journey dissecting self discovery.
One of the founder members of the company, who is also performing in Not Until We Are Lost, Charlotte Mooney, says: "Henry David Thoreau was an American writer and philosopher from the 19th century. His sentiments are something everyone can understand, those points in life we are lost – it's an uncomfortable experience but it's in these tough times we discover something about ourselves. But we have to get to that place in order to progress.
"In Lincoln we will be in the old Drill Hall with those big vaulted ceilings. We always look at which site-specific elements we can play with."
Audiences will be able to choose how closely or how far away they want to become involved with the performance.
"The audience move through it. It's a promenade show so they will walk around and can be very close to the action if they want.
"We have wanted to do this for a long time, to have the audience move through a world and to be close to them and for them to view the aerial performance from different perspectives. For example, one piece is performed inside a Perspex tower – the performer is inside it. You can go up and touch it or choose to stand all the way back and see the whole piece and have a more distant view of it.
"There are six different sections in this show, each one looks at different elements of being lost and found or changing yourself – putting yourself in a place to re-find yourself. By the end you have a sense of the whole, and the feeling of being on a journey."
Local community choirs will also be part of the Lincoln performance.
Charlotte says: "We have put together a group for the show from lots of different choirs and singing groups locally. A choir director has been rehearsing with them and when we come up to the theatre we will start getting the choir in with us. That's an exciting moment as they start to see what the show is and their involvement in it."
The venue's director Simon Hollingworth describes having Ockham's Razor visit as a real coup for the Drill Hall: "This show is touring nationally but these are the only performances taking place anywhere in the East Midlands and I am just so chuffed that this show is coming to us. Audiences of all ages are in for such a treat … it's an astonishing display of graceful and thought-provoking acrobatics that will take people's breath away."
Lincoln Drill Hall, February 15-23. Tickets: £14 (£10 concs/children), £39 family/group ticket of four. Box office: 01522 873894, www.lincolndrillhall.com

Although previous reports speculated the Cupertino-based company had succeeded in committing European carriers to hand over 10 percent of iPhone revenues derived from phone calls and data functions, The Guardian is now reporting that O2 has agreed to pay Apple a shocking 40 percent of voice and data revenues from iPhone customers, snatching the device away from Orange and T-Mobile in the UK although elsewhere in Europe T-Mobile and Orange appear to have secured the rights to sell the iPhone.
Apple's negotiating techniques have been called into question in The Guardians report. Apparently, Steve Jobs played the four major European network operators against each other, signing exclusive deals for the British market with three of them only to extract the money-losing terms from O2 at the last minute.

Innovation Life Cycle
What are the key stages in an innovation life cycle?
What is the end-to-end value chain for bringing innovation to market?
In "Smart Spenders, the Global Innovation 1000," an article in strategy+business magazine, Barry Jaruzelski, Kevin Dehoff, and Rakesh Bordia write about the four key stages of innovation that the 94 high-leverage innovators have in common.
Four Stages of Innovation
According to Jaruzelski, Dehoff, and Bordia, the four key stages of innovation are:
- Stage 1. Ideation – Basic research and conception.
- Stage 2. Project Selection – The decision to invest.
- Stage 3. Product Development – Building the product or service.
- Stage 4. Commercialization – Bringing the product or service to market and adapting it to customer demands.
What High-Leverage Innovators Do
Jaruzelski, Dehoff, and Borida write:
"Based on press coverage and interviews with executives, we conclude that each of the 94 high-leverage innovators has built sufficiently strong capabilities in all four links of the value chain, and has seamlessly integrated them, to provide a high level of performance over time."
Key Take Aways
Here are my key take aways:
- Use the frame to analyze improvement opportunities. I found this frame helpful for thinking about the end-to-end cycle for innovation. After all, what good are ideas if you can't bring them to market. A lot of ideas get stuck in the ideation stage.
- Walk your innovation cycle. By walking your end-to-end system for bringing your ideas to end-users, you can find ways to reduce friction or find places to build synergies.
- Optimize your system over a stage. Debottlenecking your end-to-end system is more effective than optimizing just a single stage.
