Re: I, Borg and Descent
That's a good explanation. It would explain why Hugh was more child-like after he was cut off from the Borg. Seven would have both her Borg personality and Annika personality fighting against each other. Plus the fact that the Annika personality was severely violated in childhood would make her kind of a head case.

Re: I, Borg and Descent
Descent Part I was a 'hold on to your seats' ride. Opening with the Borg massacre, an open and running phaser fight between violent and malicious Borg and the Enterprise crew, including Data feeling emotion, and violent emotion at that, up to the point of admitting to being willing to kill Geordi in order to feel it again... It had great potential.
And then they bring in Lore and Part II happens. It reduces the Borg to nothing but a handful of Mooks and focuses entirely on Lore, and while I like seeing Brent Spiner play someone other than the eternal straight man, I hate the whole evil twin thing. Maybe it wasn't as played back when they introduced Lore in '88, but now? Cliched as HELL and epically played out and tiresome. And Lore is the important part of the story, that's the villain of the piece. The only things I enjoy watching in the second part are the Beverly in command pieces, especially when she brings up the metaphasic shields from her own prior focus episode. It's nice to see her used in a command situation, showing she can take command if the need arises.

Re: I, Borg and Descent
I, Borg, by contrast, I rather enjoyed. I thought they hit the right notes, especially in that Hugh, despite his burgeoning sense of individuality, wanted to go home. I liked the B-plot about the fractal virus thing and Picard considering but refusing the path of genocide. We saw what Starfleet was really about in I, Borg (generally nice guys, but capable of contemplating utter evil in the name of self-defense).
Edit: it seems I'm in line with the general consensus. How can this possibly be?
Btw, I like the rank.

Re: I, Borg and Descent
"Q Who?" -- Great.
"BOBW" -- Great.
"I, Borg" -- Not bad. At this point the Borg are still unstoppable in combat. Picard avoids conflict with Borg. The Borg still have their balls.
DS9's "Emissary" -- Unstoppable Borg flashback. Good stuff.
"Descent" -- Meh. Crusher defeating the Borg takes some of their balls away, even if these aren't normal Borg.
"First Contact" -- Complete pile of monkey poo. What made the Borg interesting and frightening was that they were a collective, with no single voice, no personality. Moore and Braga ruin that with a sexy Borg queen. Now the Borg are a "hive," one of the oldest cliches in b-movie history.
Voyager episodes -- Never watched them, never will.
Enterprise episode -- the last episode of the series I ever bothered watching. Crap.

Re: I, Borg and Descent
* shrugs * I do agree the collective nature of the Borg is partly what makes them frightening and effective, but there's more to it than that. Another part is that the Borg are highly advanced and adaptable, and have the means to crush most forms of resistance. They're not invincible, as they shouldn't be, but merely powerful. Not unlike how the Dominion was portrayed as being powerful through its superior resources and use of fear during the war.

Re: I, Borg and Descent
My personal take is that 'I, Borg' is quite superior to 'Descent, Parts I and II'. Micheal Piller had the right notion that after the events of 'Best of Both World's' and the general epic-ness of that show that there was very little way to 'top' it.
Unless you take it right back to a single drone.
It allowed for a much more emotional storyline with further follow-up from Picard's assimilation which hadn't been covered really since 'Family' and introduced the idea of a Borg given individuality.
The argument over the merits of genocide were pretty well covered as well before the final decision to introduce the program.
So, 'Descent' was quite well primed to then extend that and progress the story further. The problem, IMO, was the very bad decision to include Lore and a 'Federation Takeover' plot. I feel there were two separate stories worth telling - the Borg continuation and the Data/Lore story but they did not work well together as a single two-parter.
The Lore part is just too cartoonish in the end.
As for FC - I don't mind the Borg Queen. I can appreciate technically it's not 'out-the-box' thinking to devise a physical opponent for Picard to go up against - but then 'out-of-the-box' thinking is, I believe, not a comment that can often be stated about 1990s Star Trek. She has a function in the film and although it probably (along with 'Descent' marks the point at which the Borg began to lose their impact, they remained sufficiently threatening to that point.
VOY however, really and very badly eroded them into a completely unthreatening enemy who were never really a huge problem for the ship and crew.
The over-use of them in that series did destroy them.

Re: I, Borg and Descent
For this reason, I'm glad TNG used the Borg a number of times you can count on one hand. Or if you count BOBW as 2 eps and include FC, that's 7 times. And most of them did a pretty good job at maintaining that threat level, I think. And in Descent's case, they're not part of the collective anyway, so I don't count it as a knock against them.

Perhaps the mistake was in trying to have 'enemies' in the first place instead of making more out of the journey of discovery through a massive uncharted region of space.

December 2, 2015
Just after 5 this morning, Jesse Contreras, Operations manager for Eagle Disposal in Hearne received a phone call that his garbage trucks were on fire.
"We got on scene and four of our trucks were on fire. The fire department were on site to extinguish it...its a total loss on all four trucks." says Contreras.
This family-owned business has been in operation since December and serves more than 8,000 homes in the Hearne and Bremond areas. But their means of transportation was halted after it took just under an hour to put out the fire.
"I pulled up on scene and the gates were locked up front. We had to open gates with a wrench. We opened the gate and got down to the main gate here. They were also locked and we had to use the fire unit to get into where the vehicles were burning." says Sergeant Thomas Williams with Hearne Police Department.
Hearne police believe it was started by the diesel fuel from the trucks because they found the tops of the gas tanks off. The fire marshal will not be able to fully investigate the incident till Monday morning.
Police have collected the gas tops, a log book and a towel hoping to find some clues as to who could have done this.
"We're hoping to find prints on those tops and maybe on towels. You never know what you may get and that's what we're hoping for." says Williams.
Contreras says he has an idea on a possible suspect but right now, police have no evidence leading them to the arsonist.
"There's somebody out there; they're gonna get caught." says Contreras.
The local garbage company expects to be up and running by Monday.

The Lebanon County Money In Your Pocket Coalition, through its sponsorship of the Lebanon Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, lived up to its name by enabling $1,047,213 to be returned to local residents and the community in the form of income tax refunds this tax season.
Approximately 25 volunteers working through three sites - the Lebanon County Democratic Party Headquarters, the Hispanic Center / Pathfinder Building and Lebanon Valley College - filed 825 federal tax returns. In addition, 813 Pennsylvania state tax returns were filed for clients, free of charge, which amounts to approximately another $82,500 in back-in-pocket savings for families and individuals who are among the most economically vulnerable in our county.
The rate of returns filed increased by 33.33 percent from last year, resulting in a grand total of about $1,129,000 in funds saved and returned to Lebanon County residents for the 2012 tax season.
Volunteer tax preparers spent upwards of 30 hours for online and in class study and practice time to be accredited by the Internal Revenue Service in preparation for the 2012 tax season and provided an additional average of about 15 hours per week for two-and-a-half months, meeting clients and preparing and filing their tax returns.
Sponsors for the VITA program include: Lebanon County Community Action Partnership, the United Way of Lebanon County, Potential Re-entry Opportunities in Business and Education, the Lebanon County Democratic Party, RSVP, Covenant United Methodist Church, Lebanon Valley College, PNC Bank, Fulton Bank, Jonestown Bank and Trust Co.
The significant increase in money returned to the community proves that the VITA program is continuing to grow each year and is vital to the economic climate of the Lebanon County community.
Volunteers are always welcome and needed to assist in the program. Call the Lebanon County Community Action Partnership at 717-273-9328 for more information or to volunteer your services for the next tax season. Training and orientation programs will be available in the fall.

FILE - In this Sept. 8, 2013 file photo, Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (90) walks on the field before an NFL football game against the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field in Detroit. The NFL is looking into possibly disciplining Suh for his latest on-field infraction. League spokesman Randall Liu confirmed the review on Monday, Sept. 9, 2013, in an email to The Associated Press. Suh, a defensive tackle, was called for an illegal low block against Minnesota center John Sullivan during an interception return Sunday.(AP Photo/Duane Burleson, File)
Ndamukong Suh has been fined six times for more than $342,000 in his career. He was suspended once, two years ago, for two games.
But the Lions' all-pro defensive tackle maintained Wednesday that he won't change the way he plays on the field even after the NFL sent a message that his next personal foul would be met with strict discipline.
"My play speaks for itself," Suh said in his first public comments since the NFL fined him $100,000 Tuesday for a low block on Minnesota Vikings center John Sullivan. "I don't change. I'm going to always play tough, hard. That's the way I was brought up at Nebraska, ...

Inside a glass case was a plain-looking tube, worn and scuffed. Lying in the street, it would have looked like a length of old pipe. But as I approached it, Derrick Pitts—only half in jest—commanded: "Bow down!"
From This Story
Related Content
The unremarkable-looking object is in fact one of the most important artifacts in the history of science: it's one of only two surviving telescopes known to have been made by Galileo Galilei, the man who helped revolutionize our conception of the universe. The telescope was the centerpiece of "Galileo, the Medici and the Age of Astronomy," an exhibition at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in 2009.
Pitts, who runs the institute's planetarium and other astronomy programs, says that receiving the telescope from Florence's Galileo Museum—the first time the instrument ever left Florence—was "something of a religious experience." Understandably so: if Galileo is considered a patron saint of astronomy, then his telescope is one of its most holy relics. "Galileo's work with the telescope unleashed the notion that ours is a sun-centered solar system and not an Earth-centered solar system," says Pitts. In other words, from that ugly old cylinder came the profound idea that we are not the center of the universe.
It was a dangerous idea, and one that cost Galileo his freedom.
On a starry night in Padua 400 years ago, Galileo first turned a telescope toward the sky. It might seem the most natural of actions—after all,what else does one do with a telescope? But in 1609, the instrument, which had been invented only the year before by Dutch opticians, was known as a "spyglass," in anticipation of its military uses. The device was also sold as a toy. When Galileo read of it, he quickly set about making a much more powerful version. The Dutch telescopes magnified images by 3 times; Galileo's telescopes magnified them by 8 to 30 times.
At the time, astronomy, like much of science, remained under the spell of Aristotle. Almost 2,000 years after his death, the giant of Greek philosophy was held in such high regard that even his most suspect pronouncements were considered unimpeachable. Aristotle had maintained that all celestial objects were perfect and immutable spheres, and that the stars made a dizzying daily journey around the center of the universe, our stationary Earth. Why scrutinize the sky? The system had already been neatly laid out in books. Astronomers "wish never to raise their eyes from those pages," Galileo wrote in frustration, "as if this great book of the universe had been written to be read by nobody but Aristotle, and his eyes had been destined to see for all posterity."
In Galileo's day, the study of astronomy was used to maintain and reform the calendar. Sufficiently advanced students of astronomy made horoscopes; the alignment of the stars was believed to influence everything from politics to health.
Certain pursuits were not in an astronomer's job description, says Dava Sobel, author of the best-selling historical memoir Galileo's Daughter (1999). "You didn't talk about what the planets were made of," she says. "It was a foregone conclusion that they were made of the fifth essence, celestial material that never changed." Astronomers might make astrological predictions, but they weren't expected to discover anything new.
So when Galileo, then 45 years old, turned his telescope to the heavens in the fall of 1609, it was a small act of dissent. He saw that the Milky Way was in fact "a congeries of innumberable stars," more even than his tired hand could draw. He saw the pockmarked surface of the moon, which, far from being perfectly spherical, was in fact "full of cavities and prominences, being not unlike the face of the Earth." Soon he would note that Jupiter had four moons of its own and that Venus had moonlike phases, sometimes waxing to a disk, sometimes waning to a crescent. He later saw imperfections in the Sun. Each discovery drew Aristotle's system further into question and lent ever more support to the dangerously revolutionary view that Galileo had privately come to hold—set out just a half-century earlier by a Polish astronomer named Nicolaus Copernicus—that Earth traveled around the Sun.
"I give infinite thanks to God," Galileo wrote to the powerful Florentine statesman Belisario Vinta in January of 1610, "who has been pleased to make me the first observer of marvelous things."

NEW ORLEANS, La. Attendees to the United Fresh Produce Association's annual convention and expo in New Orleans cast their votes Wednesday and recognized this year's New Product Awards in six categories. A record 34 fresh fruit and vegetable innovations competed in the categories of Best New Packaging Product, Best New Food Safety Solution, Best New Processing Equipment, Best New Fruit Product, Best New Packing and Packaging Equipment, and Best Vegetable Product.
The 2011 New Product Award winners are:
Best New Packaging: MIXIM Classic 5×5 6oz. Bushberry Packaging System, Sambrailo Packaging
Best New Food Safety Solution: SmartWash, New Leaf Food Safety Solutions
Best New Processing Equipment: Primus Gemini New and Improved Fresh Berry Sorter, Best Sorting
Best New Fruit Product: Sun Drops Grape Tomatoes, Mucci Farms AND Naturipe® Berry Quick Blueberry Snacks, Naturipe Farms, LLC
Best New Packing/Packaging Equipment: Volmpack Ultrek 320 Vertical-Form-Fill-Seal Bagger, Volm Companies, Inc.
Best New Vegetable Product: Pure Flavor Grill Ready Vegetable Mix, Pure Hot House Foods Inc.
"These seven innovations represent thousands of man-hours of hard work, foresight, dedication, risk and reward," said United Fresh Vice President of Convention and Industry Relations John Toner. "The unveiling of new products is a vital part of the United show, and we're proud to honor these winners and congratulate all 34 finalists in this year's competition."
In the Best New Fruit Product category, two winners were selected. Sun Drops Grape Tomatoes from Mucci Farms and Naturipe Farms' Berry Quick Blueberry Snacks were both honored as best products.
"Because there was some confusion among voters about tomatoes being judged in the fruit category, both of these outstanding products are recognized as category winners due to the widespread voting support they received in the balloting," Toner said.
The finalists in each category were on display for the two days of the United Fresh 2011 trade show, and the winners were selected by votes cast from show attendees.

Show up at the B.C. Court of Appeal on Monday morning in support of Adbusters' lawsuit against Canwest Global
McDonald's can go on CBC Newsworld and tell us how great their Big Macs are, but Adbusters can't buy airtime to point out that 50% of the calories in a Big Mac come from fat. The automobile manufacturers can buy as much time as they want to tell us how sexy their cars are, but Greenpeace is not allowed on to point out that the personal automobile is one of the primary causes of climate change. Every ad on TV glorifies consumption and tells us we can be happy if we buy things, but a Buy Nothing Day TV spot is not allowed on.
This lack of democracy on the public airwaves is what's at stake in a legal action that's going to be fought in the B.C. Supreme Court this Monday. Come to the courtroom and join people who are interested in fighting for the right to walk into their local TV station, put some money on the table and buy some airtime for some message that they believe in. Come and meet us there. Let's fill the courtroom and win this battle for the public airwaves.
The hearing is at 10:00am on Monday, February 16th at the courthouse in downtown Vancouver (800 Smithe St.)

Since my last post was about six months ago, I bet you thought that I forgot all about my island obsession, didn't you? Ha! Not a chance!
In accordance with the saying "You've gotta work hard to play hard", I've been putting my nose to the grindstone for a while and it all finally paid off with another glorious trip to Anguilla! I just got back a few days ago and it was as difficult as ever to leave a place that I love so much. But, because I feel that my ties to my wonderful friends there (actually, I just refer to them family now) get so much stronger every time I visit, I have zero doubt that I'll be back very soon.
Part of my "play hard" effort involved building the above sand snowman with the one-and-only Garvey Lake at the SunShine Shack, on Rendezvous Bay. I initially had the intention of sending pictures of it to my friends at home, who were buried under ice and snow at the time, but I later decided that that would be too cruel.
I give Garvey most of the artistic credit while most of my time went into constructing a solid foundation (i.e. making a big dense pile of sand), conceptualization (Garvey initially insisted on a two-tiered sand snowman, as shown below – can't blame an island guy for not knowing there should be three – but after putting my foot down, the sand snowman got a proper midsection), and following Garvey's directions to turn it into a masterpiece.
And here's Garvey posing with the finished product:
A few days later, I returned to the SunShine Shack with Francie (of Udder Chaos fame) and her family to find that the rain and tide had really done a number on the sand snowman – large pieces of its head had crumbled off and the body looked like an amorphous blob. With Francie being a true engineer ("We gotta fix it!") and me being a mushy-hearted brain-dead girl on vacation ("Poor sand snowman!"), we set about reconstructing a new version.
You may have seen the 2nd sand snowman in Francie's tweet here (or on Facebook), but for those of you who didn't, take a gander at sand snowman 2.0:
Not too shabby, right? This one shed the scarf and clearly likes a cold drink.
I hope that you all have a happy and healthy holiday season and many new island adventures in 2014!

I ride all mountain, but mainly park and free riding. I like a little flex in my boot but not so soft my legs are doing all the work. DC's were a tad stiff out of the box but nothing a day of riding and troll'n the mountain didn't cure. Over all super happy with these bad boys and plan on using them for a least a couple seasons. Thanks DC as always!
Its like having a cast on your foot
ZERO flex. I was a little bummed. I like DC gear and had only heard good things about the boot, but it was so stiff it hurt before I could even leave the crib.
1 year warranty man. Send em' back!
love mine rocked them right outta the box maybe ship508977 should get some ankle weights and quit being a puss in boots lol
not my pair of boots, I returned them right away
Great Boots!
I really like this boot from DC. The flex is perfect for me and my feet are comfortable

Pirates make roster moves
Pirates/MLB Videos
One pitcher has been added to the Pirates' 40-man roster, while two others could be on their way off the list.
Tuesday, right-hander Luis Munoz was placed on the 40-man roster, a reward for a solid season at Class AA Altoona.
Right-hander Tony Armas filed for free agency Monday, the first day when players were allowed to declare. Right-hander Shawn Chacon filed for free agency yesterday.
Armas signed a $3.5 million deal with the Pirates as a free agent last offseason, but was a flop as a member of the starting rotation. His contract had a $5 million club option for 2008 and a $500,000 buyout.
Chacon was used mostly out of the bullpen and made $3.825 million this year. At season's end, Chacon said he wanted to remain with the Pirates, but would prefer to work as a starter.
Former general manager Dave Littlefield never formally discussed a multi-year contract with Chacon's agent. Littlefield was fired Sept. 7, and agent Dan Horwits said he has not had contract discussions with new GM Neal Huntington.
Huntington was in a closed-door meeting yesterday afternoon and did not return a call from the Tribune-Review.
The Pirates will have exclusive negotiating rights with Chacon and Armas until Nov. 12.
Munoz went 14-6 with a 3.57 ERA in 28 games (26 starts) for the Curve. He also went 2-1 with a 3.12 ERA in three spot starts for Class AAA Indianapolis.
Munoz, 25, led all Pirates farmhands in wins, ranked second in ERA and third in strikeouts (105). He was ninth in the Class AA Eastern League in ERA.
To make room for Munoz on the roster, left-hander Josh Shortslef was designated for assignment. Shortslef went 5-13 with a 4.40 ERA last year for Altoona.
Notes: John Shelby, the team's first base coach the past two seasons, has taken the same position with the Baltimore Orioles. ... Former director of player development Brian Graham was hired by the Orioles as a special assignment coach for the minor leagues. ... Infielder Matt Kata cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week, but refused his assignment to Class AAA Indianapolis and declared free agency. ... Ted Simmons, the Pirates' GM from 1991-92, was named bench coach for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Hands up if you're guilty of getting a takeaway once a week:
It's one of those terrible terrible indulgances that is not especially good for your wallet or your waist. Yet we do it "because we deserve it" or we are too lazy to cook.
Do you think it's a waste of money?
I've got that horrible "it depends" feeling.
I'd say ask these questions:
Are you feeding yourself, you and your partner, your family or a large group of friends?
By itself this is not an indicator whether it's a waste of money or not. Generally, the more people you're buying for, the larger 'margin for error' there is. You might buy for loads of people and only one or two end up eating it. However it's a good way to split costs as well as trying 'a bit of everything' 😉
Are there leftovers after you're done?
Small amounts of left overs are nearly always going to be a waste (as they either go into the bin or as a snack and a snack is bad! Believe me, I would know). Large amounts of leftovers are either really good or terrible depending on the following question.
Are the leftovers good to use again in the morning/next day?
Some fast food is really good for being able to reheat or eat eat. I would highlight Dominos Pizza, my local Chinese and Wokon as two of these. They usually give you WAY too much to eat in one sitting, and the amount you have left can do for a second meal pretty well. So the price you pay is usually the price for two meals (unless you are very greedy which sometimes happens).
However, the flip side of this is stuff that tastes really horrible after reheating – chips. If you're ordering chips as part of a takeaway (or if you're going to a well know drive thru) I would not recommend ordering too much as they taste manky the next morning (unless your local chippy is really good, mine is shite). So um, McDonalds, Burger King and KFC are a less than great resource for your money! So why do I keep going back…
Is it expensive?
Even if you can spread a meal across two days, is it good value for money? I think that getting a meal for less than £5 is a good thing, so in this case my Chinese and Wokon WIN, but Dominos doesn't really win.
Are you short on time?
Ahh the classic money vs. time argument. Takeaway nights are usually when my darling finishes at 9pm and we just can't face cooking at that time (sometimes I cook before she gets home, but my timing is horrible so we have to reheat it and all that jazz) so a takeaway is a good option. However we do have a rule: no more than once a week! We'll get fat and lose a lot of money!
So um, the moral of the story: Everything in moderation

The faculty, of course, will not first hear from me over email - we have maintained semi-regular research-related meetings over the semester. I have not yet asked her to be my advisor, but now since the academic year has ended, I want to make this an official advisor-advisee relationship. I'm wondering if it would be bad form to just ask the question directly over email, as she doesn't seem to be around the department anymore. I should add that I am already a PHD student in the department, and funding is provided by the department, so I am not really asking for money either.
I would first send her an email asking when she might next be around campus and able to meet. If she responds that she's traveling (which is entirely possible now that the academic year is over), I think you can send a polite follow up asking her to be your official advisor.
I don't think it can be construed as bad form to contact a potential advisor by email. This is the way that I approached my advisor. I had completed a undergraduate course with him but he would not have remembered me due to class size and time lapsed. I drafted an email explaining the course I had taken under him, gave a very brief outline of my research topic (about 5 lines) and had another couple sentences as to why I thought he would be a good match as an advisor for that particular topic.
I would not expect (as in my case) a yes or no reply but if they are interested it would be assumed that they would email you back either looking for some more detail or to set up a meeting to discuss the proposal with you. You may have to wait some time for a reply but you could leave it a couple of weeks before following up. It may also be good to check with the department in case the person is on leave etc.

I walk at least 30 minutes a day and do yoga and pilates on a semi-regular basis. What do you suggest that I add to my routine?
Your routine might be fine just as it is. What is your fitness goal? If you don't have a fitness goal then anything you do will work since any road will get you there. What you are currently doing is a low level but beneficial routine. If you want to burn more calories, or lose weight this routine is probably not adequate. You will need to add more intensive cardio training like cycling or running or a high energy fitness class at least 2 days a week. If you want to build lean muscle, this routine isn't adequate. You will need to add some weightlifting to your routine. It's likely you will want to do upper and lower body lifting to strengthen and tone. This involves moderate weight and numerous reps (12 – 15 per set) probably one or two days a week.
Set a fitness goal and write me back.

They're only paying a $200,000 fine? And that's the maximum?
Halliburton Co has agreed to plead guilty to destroying evidence related to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the U.S. Department of Justice said on Thursday.
The government said the guilty plea is the third by a company over the spill, and requires the world's second-largest oilfield services company to pay a maximum $200,000 statutory fine. Halliburton also made a separate, voluntary $55 million payment to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the Justice Department said.
Halliburton also agreed to three years of probation, and to continue cooperating with the criminal probe into the April 20, 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig.

Energy Sprawl: Will Solar and Wind Farms Become Ghost Malls of Tomorrow?
Have you noticed the rapid proliferation of clean energy projects in the past few years? All those projects take up land. Now a paper from the Nature Conservancy predicts that the Waxman-Markey climate change bill could have the unintended consequence of leading to "energy sprawl"—a term that includes forests, deserts and grasslands used to generate solar, wind, and geothermal power.
Even if the W-M bill doesn't pass, energy production will take up more land than the state of Minnesota by 2030. If an energy-boosting bill does pass, the amount of land required for new energy development in the next 20 years will grow by up to 48%, or 38,600 miles. In some cases, that energy development could lead to habitat destruction. Some solar proponents claim that solar arrays placed on a 100 square foot swath of land in Nevada could power the entire United States, but Robert McDonald, a Nature Conservancy scientist, essentially shuts them down, saying the study tried to "avoid that kind of maximal estimate."
Even if the Nature Conservancy study exaggerates the issue, it's hard to deny the potential impact of all the energy projects popping up. So what can be done? Obviously, conservation of already-existing energy resources could alleviate the pressure to build new ones. But future renewable energy projects can minimize habitat destruction by using already-disturbed or developed sites. For example, Los Angeles officials are toying with the idea of turning 17,750 acres of an abandoned airport into a solar facility. If similarly abandoned projects are repurposed, energy sprawl won't have to be the most unfortunate side effect of a transition to clean power.

The quote "....solar arrays placed on a 100 square foot swath of land in Nevada" must be a magnitude typo. They also don't like to admit that it's not just one tainted patch of land, rather a general scarring of many landscapes.
Rather than market a private label rights product I have used it as a free report to anyone who may benefit from its information, purely as a strong indicator towards green alternative fuels. http://dofollowuntacticcal000/Alternative_Fuels/Alternative Fuels.htm and http://www.dofollowuntacticcal...
Energy Sprawl: If you construct small wind turbines and mount them on every high rise building in every city across America can you imagine how much additional power costs you'll save. That's a direct approach to an age old problem and we really do need to look at greener alternatives, if not for us, then the next generation who will follow.
Solar panels on existing buildings generally make a lot more sense than even small wind turbines.

Oceanside man dies after Corvette chase though South Los Angeles
Corvette driver ID'd as Brian Beaird
SAN DIEGO - The man who led police on a wild 60-minute-long chase through South Los Angeles, and who was apparently shot and killed after his late-model Chevrolet Corvette smashed into another car, was identified Sunday as an Oceanside man.
Brian Newt Beaird, 51, died at a hospital 43 minutes after the chase ended Friday night, said Los Angeles Coroner's Office Capt. John Kades. No cause of death was reported, and an autopsy would be conducted by Tuesday, he said.
Beaird was apparently shot by Los Angeles police an unknown number of times as he got out of the silver Corvette, which was banged up, smoking and wedged between poles on a sidewalk at the end of the chase.
As paramedics performed CPR and other rescue efforts, Beaird was taken six blocks to California Hospital medical Center, where he died at 11:13 p.m., the coroner said.
The apparent shooting will be investigated by the LAPD Force Investigation Division, said Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Lt. Andy Neiman.
Live television pictures at 10 p.m. Friday showed the Corvette running numerous red lights and stop signs, and weaving as it sped through neighborhoods and commercial districts between Cudahy, southeast of Los Angeles, and the area near the Staples Center.
Just after 10:30 p.m., the Corvette smashed into a Nissan Maxima, sending it spinning, at East Olympic Boulevard and South Los Angeles Street, the video showed.
As the car's tires spun and smoked, the driver exited from the Corvette. He was then apparently shot, and collapsed on his back on a sidewalk.
The footage and the videographer's description suggested the suspect was a white male, wearing jeans, a grey sweatshirt and white shoes.
Another videographer said CPR was performed on the suspect, who was then taken away by ambulance.
The vehicle had been pursued by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol vehicles before the LAPD took over at 10:16 p.m. Friday.
Lt. Josh Barton of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department East Los Angeles station said the pursuit began in Cudahy at 9:30 p.m., when deputies attempted to pull the driver over on suspicion of drunken and reckless driving.

There may come a time in a mother's life when she has to stay at home and take care of her children for an indefinite amount of time. Whether the child is an infant or has already entered school, this moment will most surely come for some women, and we all know staying at home while doing dishes, vacuuming and taking good care of kids can be a full time job.
Jobs for stay at home moms to supplement income which may be lost due to childcare issues are becoming more prevalent on the Internet. Mothers finding themselves at home have many options today which a few years ago were not possible. Online Chat Help companies, writing and Internet based billing systems and order taking are just a few of the opportunities stay at home mothers enjoy.
Taking advantage of jobs for stay at home moms, salaries and pay can vary depending on the type of position you are trying to acquire. Expertise in a niche field means starting a website with information on the subject, freelance writing or offering online training courses where participants can pay for your knowledge.
Foreign language translators, article writing, reviews and classes are just a part of the online opportunities for stay at home mothers. Looking for online jobs for moms means there will be a lot of weeding through fake posts and Craigslist scams, when you advertise or apply for online work, you'll soon find it was worth the effort.
It's great to stay home with the kids and do the necessary work to keep a house running smoothly. Once you get a routine, you might find extra time on your hands and working online may just be the ticket you need to earn extra income.
Children who watch the industrious nature of the parents tend to be viable working adults walking in carefully laid footsteps. Families today are finding child rearing and working is not as daunting and out of reach as once thought. We can still have children, take care of them by ourselves and bring in a nice income.

Inner Class - Initialization Sequence

Initialization Sequence of this code:
- When outer is created in line 1 the constructor OuterTest(
id) is called
and "id" of OuterTest is initialized to "STP" and "Default Constructor
is printed to console.
- Then the instance "inner" of the inner class is created. As inner class extends
The outer class the Default-Constructor of OuterTest is called and "NonDefault
Constructor" is printed.
MY QUESTION is: Why didn't get "id" of OuterTest the value "Default" which is
Set by the default constructor of "OuterTest"?
Instead the "Outer.Test.this.id" keeps ist old value "STP" from the creation of the
OuterTest-instance "outer".
class OuterTest { String id ; OuterTest ( ) { System.out.println("Default-Constructor"); this.id = " Default " ; } OuterTest ( String id ) { System.out.println("NonDefault-Constructor"); this.id = id ; } class InnerTest extends OuterTest { void doSomething ( ) { System.out.println( "InnerTest"+OuterTest.this.id ); System.out.println( "InnerTest"+id ); } } public static void main ( String args [ ] ) { OuterTest outer = new OuterTest( " STP " ) ; //line 1 InnerTest inner = outer.new InnerTest( ) ; inner.doSomething( ); } }
InnerTest STP
InnerTest Default
=> Question: Why is "OuterTest.this.id" still "STP" and not "Default"?

Try the following code (warning: I didn't tested it...):
public class Outer { public Outer getOuter() { return null; } public class Inner extends Outer { public Outer getOuter() { return Outer.this; } } public static void main(String[] args) { Outer outer = new Outer(); Outer inner = outer.new Inner(); System.out.println(inner == inner.getOuter()); System.out.println(outer == inner.getOuter()); } }
This should give you
Did that help?

Let's see if I can explain what's going on. The key thing to focus on is that Inner is BOTH an inner class and a subclass. Because it's an inner class, it is automatically associated with an instance of it's outer class. Because it is a subclass, it inherits all it's superclass's properties. So when you construct the OuterTest in line 1, you get 1 instance with id set to " STP ". Now in line 2, you construct a new InnerTest via this new OuterTest, but remember that this new instance is a subclass of OuterTest, so it has it's OWN String id property, and that's what get's set to " Default ", leaving the outer instance's id unchanged. So from within the InnerTest class, OuterTest.this.id refers to the id property of the instance of Outertest that the current instance of InnerTest is implicitly associated with, and just id refers to the id property that the current instance of InnerTest inherits from the OuterTest class. Does that clarify things at all? This stuff can get very confusing.

You're right about one thing; those were rambling thoughts.
May be rambling but spot on.
You're an idiot.
Wow, bloggers are so annoying.
How was this even published?
Steroids made the game more interesting
You didn't like Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump?
Obviously Gordon Deal, you have never played competitive baseball or you would realize the rare occurrence of a perfect game or how difficult it is to pitch one. As for the Indians, I am not a fan of theirs by any means, and yes, they stink compared to the other MLB teams; however they are still Big League players. They made their way through college ball, the draft, big league try-outs, minor leagues, and spring training, etc. I would actually like you to try to pitch a perfect game to a little league team. I could almost guarantee that you couldn't accomplish that. My guess is that you were the guy sitting in the stands of high school or college games trying to hit on the girls while their boyfriends were out playing on the field, so you have a bitter feeling toward ballplayers.
Bottom line is that Galarraga did get cheated; he deserved for that play to be under review. He will most likely never be in that position to close out a perfect game. Do me a favor, pick up a bat and get in the batters box. I wish i could be the one pitching to you so I could buzz a fastball high and tight by you. Maybe that would knock some sense into you.
By the way, Keanu Reeves is a Horrible actor. How can you say he should have gotten the Academy Award over Tom Hanks in 'Forest Gump?' That's just ridiculous. Opinions that obsurd make your readers become non-readers because your opinions become unworthy and laughable at best.
If baseball annoys you then stay out of it.
And comparing actors to athletes, REALLY? Have you read a newspaper lately, they are in two separate sections, one's called "Sports" and the other is "Entertainment".
Worst. Article. Ever.
Quit trying to be funny. You're not.
Mich, you're the type of guy referenced in the blog! You think sports is not entertainment. Too funny.
Keanu Reeves and Academy Awards are two nouns that should never be placed in the same sentence. Unless, of course, it's something along the lines of, "Keanu Reeves should not even bother attending the Academy Awards."
I will admit that baseball is too long and taken too seriously for a sport that is a lot more "casual" than other sports. It doesn't require the athleticism or physical conditioning that many other sports do since there is a lot of down time.
World Class Idiot. I don't even know how you got this published. Especially out of New York. Baseball is an American pas time. You my friend, need to find a new country if you can't support one of our cultural entertainments. Acting is by far more over played than sports. Regardless, next time you hear someone quoting movie lines from Speed call me, because last time I checked Forrest Gump is a movie that will go down in history and speed will be forgotten.
While I do believe the politics of sports are a little out there, competition is something that is born inside all of us and if we can get away from our demanding lives of non air conditioned desk jobs, rowding children, and low pay checks to watch a lil American ball there should be no problem with that.
Consider this. You're on air for your most listened to show you've ever done. You've dream of this as a kid, you worked your butt off in college, and you've just been waiting for this moment to broadcast to a record amount of people and your boss comes in and accidentally trips the air button and you lose half your listeners. I'm sure you would be devistated. Get off your horse and put yourself in this kids position who has worked his whole entire life for this moment. It IS a big deal. He will probably never have this opportunity again and instead of going down in history as someone who did something great, he is going to go down in history as someone who got screwed.
HAHAHAHA! This article made my day. Super hilarious! Thanks!
How does a millionare get a free corvette from a company that still officially owes the taxpayers billions. I guess you have to be an evil millionare that works for a bank or oil company

Looks like Negedu has set the rest of his visits.
Here's the complete schedule.
An update on the hottest recruiting drama of the summer….
Emmanuel Negedu, the 6-7 springy forward freshly freed from his letter of intent to Arizona, will visit Indiana on June 3. The Hoosiers are in the running for his services — he'll begin his college career this fall — along with Memphis, Tennessee and Georgia Tech.
As has been reported, Negedu knows the Bloomington area well. The Nigerian native came to the U.S. as part of Mark Adams' A-HOPE Foundation and spent a lot of time with Adams and his family while not attending Brewster Academy in New Hampshire.
So Negedu's visit will focus on what he doesn't know: the current IU staff. Kelvin Sampson and his assistants pushed hard to make Negedu a Hoosier, whereas Tom Crean and his assistants have had limited contact with Negedu. So they'll inevitably pitch him on being a part of the rebuilding project, playing in Crean's up-tempo system and the chance to play early.
Stay tuned.
Nate #1
I would feel so much better about next season if we could get Negedu. Come on Karma, we've paid our dues, give us a break here.
Caleb #2
That is the same foundation as Jobe came from isnt it? Plus he has a good friend in Roth, so we will see. I still dont think we would be considered a favorite here, but at least we have some ties.
HiggiStardust #3
Yes, this is the make or break recruit for next season: land Negedu and the Hoosiers have a shot at a Top 5 fininsh in the Big Ten and an NCAA bubble bid; lose out on this recruit and…well, let's just say next season is looking bleak.
Bobby "Not" #4
I guess he's getting the "Loser" programs outta the way early!! Indiana forever doomed to be a "used to be" program of nothing…. whine about what you "used To be" Hooziers/Loooziers. Negedu ends up at Memphis or Tennessee.. either is still your new masters in ALL sports… HA HA HA HA AH AH HA HA
Eric #5
Surely the chance to play early and help rebuild things is an attraction. Of course I said that about Maurice Sutton as well. Crean's got to sell on what he has at this point, and along with tradition, the chance to play early is the main thing he has at his disposal right now. Here's hoping we get this guy.
Eric #6
'either is still your new masters in ALL sports …'
–Bobby "Not"
Wow, that's some wonderful English. Your command of our language is something to behold.I sure am sorry you're not an IU fan, "Not," I'd be proud to have someone with your towering intellect as my fellow "Hoozier." Not!!!!!
Mike K. #7
Eric, why feed a troll?
Erik #8
I don't know if any one guy is make or break for next year but I would also feel a lot better with Negendu. By all accounts he's physically talented and it would be great to have some semblance of a scoring threat in the frontcourt.
Eric #9
Well, as an old English major, I just couldn't let that grammar go unpunished…….
Dynasty #10
haha Eric, that's pretty funnyyyy
Seymour_Tom #11
I hear there will be some more incoming recruits next week also. Ive heard a couple of names, but not heard of them, so Im going to check into it a little farther before posting.
Bobby Knight is Gay #12
Its not happening Hooziers, its back to being a "girl" school and tractor repair classes. I heard you guys have a great cosmotology dept. Do you practice on pigs? HA HA HA HA
Jon #13
I'm flattered this young man wants to visit; but I think our chances of inking him are slim to none. We can't compete with Tennessee and Memphis right now for recruits.
Steve O #14
Looks like he saved his favorite for last… We have no chance.
Chet #15
Purdue handles the tractor repair.
Neal #16
we're not getting this kid. We have a better chance to get Gordon to stay for 3 more yrs.
Kevin Simpson #17
I wish we had DeAndre Thomas back. He was awesome. He could eat a whole pizza and almost dunk the basketball.
HiggiStardust #18
Y'all are way too pessimistic! Perhaps Negedu is visiting IU first because he is already familiar with Bloomington and the history/tradition of the IU program, so he just wants the opportunity now to meet the coaching staff and discuss their vision for the future. I personally believe that it will come down to Indiana and Memphis. Time will tell, let's not rush to judgement.
Jim #19
If you think about it wouldnt make any sence at all for Negedu to go any where else but IU. We have his good friend Jobe he is familar with the town. We play his type of game and he will be the star of the team. Ill be stunned if he chooses any where else
Erik #20
The reason he asked out of his Arizona LOI was because the asst Coach who recruited him there left- and is now at Memphis. And it does seem the last place a recruit visits has an advantage (Sutton most recently) and Memphis is losing 5 players last I heard so playing time is to be had there too……but who knows.
Steve O #21
Jim, prepare to be stunned… He's going to Memphis. Who said he's friends with TJ anyways? Just cause they're both African doesn't make them friends.
Mike #22
Just curious, what's kosher on these visits. Can fans set up signs welcoming Emmanuel to Indiana? Perhaps a sign every 100 yards or so down 37?
BoomBaby! #23
I personally feel better when Iu is the last school visited, but I have seen it go the other way too but not as often. Is it amazing the number of grown people with lives care where an eighteen year old goes to school.
ZachRoyse #24
First of all, what do we have that Memphis and the other schools don't:
National Titles
A conference that has been fairly weak in the post
Guaranteed starting job and big minutes
Possibility for big numbers
The star of the team essentially
If Negedu is a 'team player' he might go somewhere else but if he wants in the NBA after two years or faster, Indiana is the place.
HuskyTom #25
IU wouldn't be on his darned list if he wasn't giving it a serious look. After all, he's already been recruited by Sampson, and if he didn't like the place already, he wouldn't be back here.
All you pessimists are full of it. Who cares whether IU is first or last on the list? He may have done it this way because if he likes IU enough the second time through he can just scratch the rest of his visits.
Anyway, if we get Crawford back, which at this point is looking probable, we won't need Negedu's points as badly.
Negedu is only coming to IU as a "favor". He has absolutely no intrest in IU. My DIRECT sources say UT will land him.. Maybe we can get JC? Looks like we are cellar dwellers for a few years to come.. Does anyone think we break 500 next year?
"I don't worry about starting; I just want to go and play my role,'' Negedu said. "I want to win, so I won't go to a place that loses just to play a lot of minutes.''
With that quote in mind, anyone want to guess what IU's chances of signing this guy are?
jim #28
We will Easily be above 500. We are not going to be that bad.
doug #29
above 500? I hope so but not by much I'm afraid. Why didnt we try to get Bruce Pearl? Crean isnt for the job.. we are screwed!
jim #30
WE didnt get Pearl because his player graduation rating was terrible.
doug #31
"his player graduation rate was bad"? So our basketball record is gonna suck with Crean but they graduate? Dude you make no sense.. again to the adults, why didnt we go after Pearl?
red #32
So you want to lose more scholarships because our APR is deplorable. Yup thats want we want right after Sampson.
HuskyTom #33
Dude! Whoahh! Like, what'we gonna do, man?
Let's like, hope that like, *Doug isn't one of our recruits, man, or we're gonna blow hard, dude!!
Like, let's get some adult sense-makers in here, dude!
Check out my new website coming out the middle of June/toward the end of June
Its time we got rid of this loser while we can.. what about Roy Williams? we never contacted him or Calipari? What the *uck?
Bobby Knight #35
Yes!! lets fire him now!! Lets not support this loser, we need a REAL coach! We are not alone, thousands of us hoozier agree
BoomBaby! #36
Lets fire him now. Anybody know what Dan Dakich is doing?
jeff #37
doug, we did try to get pearl but he didnt want to leave UT. Why waste our time on a coach we knew didnt want to leave. I think Crean is a great hire. He did wonders for Marquette, and he has already proven he can recruit (already has a pretty good '08 and '09 class with all the sanctions and stuff still going on). Crean is going to do fine, hes the perfect guy to bring IU's respect back and bring IU back to a national contender. 18-12 next season

I'd Like to Move
When we moved to this house we wanted more space and specifically, storage space. Our first home was a ranch with no attic storage and a finished basement with just a small area in the unfinished furnace room for storage of things like Christmas decorations. The problem with this house is there is too much storage, the unfinished basement is the same square footage as our entire former house. We could make the attic useful for storage too but we don't need the space as we already have too much. That plus walk-in closets and under the eaves storage invites saving of too much stuff.
Today I started on a quest to put on a clean pair of jeans to go to church in. I was excited to see the special Christmas choir presentation. One pair of jeans I know we washed last week has gone missing before I ever wore them. One pair was wet in the washing machine. The third pair is also missing. I had not yet switched out my summer and spring pants for whatever winter pants I had in the closet in boxes. I refused to wear sweat pants or yoga pants to church (or summer cotton capri length pants) so we skipped church! Instead I dove into the closet to swap out the summer for winter clothes. I also went through every drawer and touched every single thing in the under the eaves storage area. I have put things into bags to donate to charity thrift shops and some things to be given to my brother to use for rags.
I was raised in a family with pack rats on both sides and multiple grandparents who lived through the depression. Growing up without much money, my parents emphasized not wasting money on buying things and to use everything until it wore out. It feels wrong to get rid of good stuff that I just don't like or doesn't fit well or is out of style even though it is servicable. However I do let go of some of it.
One thing I hold onto is clothes I really like but that I no longer fit into since I've gained weight. Honestly I am the same weight I was in the first year of my marriage (fifteen years ago) when I was in my late twenties. I was this weight when I got pregnant with both kids so I can't blame pregnancies or even age for me being this weight. This is what I am when I lead a sedentary lifestyle. This is also what I am when I exercise moderately which makes me feel defeated so I give up on exercising, why bother if I see no results? My only hope of shrinking back down to my former petite size is to go back to exercising 1.5 to 2.5 hours a day six days a week. So far since becoming a mother and homeschooling I have not been self-disciplined enough to do that much exercise though.
I own a fair amount of stuff we're not using but it's not causing a problem to keep it. If we were to move I'd be forced to get rid of much of this stuff. Especially if we move to certain locations where homes are built on slabs and storage space is limited I'd be forced to give up even more of my packrat ways.
Another weird thing though is when money is tight such as when my husband is out of work, the feeling to save it all in case I need to use it takes over and makes it hard to let go of stuff. It would be foolish to give away things we may desperately need later.
I'm in the mood to just get rid of everything. I started today so even if we don't wind up moving we'll still own less, which can only be a good thing.
So there are some thoughts from the mind of a packrat who has been trying to reform her ways for years.

Moving does force you to evaluate what is worth keeping! But, didn't you do a great job clearing through your books? I still haven't got around to taking on that chore.

Hi Sandra,
I got rid of a lot of books to the basement to resell but now have too many to try to resell so am re=sorting them for donation to libraries and thrift shops and just a small amt of curriculum to maybe resell to homeschoolers at a spring used curric sale (if we are still living here).
But I have even more books to get rid of. I owned over 8000. About 1200 were given to me free when a parochial school was closing, all good kids books for educational purposes and fiction pleasure reading.
I also still probably own too many of my kids outgrown toys. Sentimental about some of them and some so high quality DH wants to save for the grandkids. (But that doesn't make sense if we move.)

I can relate to the weight bit. I would love to lose a little more but I also know that I would either have to exercise more and therefore do something else less or eat way less which I know from past experience would make me cranky and a bad mom. So for now I guess I just have to accept that this is where I am. And I know that it is because other things in my life are important too and I don't want to neglect them for the sake of losing a few pounds.

I also have a huge book problem:) What i did is do a giveaway on my blog (my authentic mama blog) when I started it. It is a lot of work, but I got to meet some really nice people who really appreciated the books:)
I always get the urge to clean this time of year, I think it is because I am stuck inside so much.
As far as exercise, I walk daily, this does not sound like much, but it gets the kids and I out and keeps me in shape (I walk up hill as well) weather in the PNW is iffy, but i just bundle us up and go for it!

I'm not sure how garage sales go up there in the winter - but you could sort and organize for a sale in the spring. Or Craigslist. Then you could get rid of stuff and make a little cash.
FWIW I was former military and moved all the time. It was great - you get rid of stuff, clean out, really see what you need. I've now lived in my current house longer than anywhere else since childhood - and DH and I are both ready to pack up, chuck stuff and move!!

I've always without thinking about it, glued both mating surfaces, and of course...often have to deal with too much squeeze out, sometimes I get it right, but when dealing with plywood, could you just glue the "end grain"?
I've always without thinking about it, glued both mating surfaces, and of course...often have to deal with too much squeeze out, sometimes I get it right, but when dealing with plywood, could you just glue the "end grain"?
Thread Continues Below...
I put a lighter amount on one sside than the other, just to make sure there is total adhesion. I usually have a wet rag handy to wipe off squeeze out.
I glue both surfaces, aiming for minimum squeeze out form total surface coverage. I use a spatula to spread the glue. Plywood edges get an extra heavy coating and a few minutes to soak in. I don't wipe off the squeeze out to avoid sealing the wood which affects finish penetration - I scrape in about an hour - when it's rubbery but not hard.
I only glue one surface, the other gets whatever is left on my finger...(which I *always* use to spread glue. It's a precision instrument that I can *always* find, it cleans up easily and doesn't have to be recycled or put away)
I dream of a better world, one where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
One side only unless I'm trying to seal the end grain ( in a futile attempt to glue end grain). I too use a finger and then wipe the excess on my pants, which accounts for my usual appearance.
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Thread Continues Below...
I lay out all my jointed pieces to be glued up, on the pipe clamps...arrange them suitably to avoid knots, matching grains etc,,,,check for jointer snipe...
then turn each peice on edge in the same direction (except the first piece). pour a line of glue on each upward edge, then start at the second to the front piece, and turn and push each piece into the one in front of it.
Tighten clamps working from left to right so that I can level pieces as much as possible as I tighten them.
How hard can it be? Guys do it everyday
I apply glue only to one side and clamp the parts together as hard as I can.
I know, I know... glue starvation. Never happened to me, but some joints did fail when I clamped them too lightly. I read an article in FWW on the topic. The issue was whether all clamps provide sufficient clamping power. Not all do. As per the author of the article, there is a need for significant clamping power to force the glue into the wood grain. I have used that method since (about 3 years) and it works well for me.
I spread the glue with a tool someone suggested on this very forum - a foam brush with the foam removed after it's been used for finishing. The foam wraps a plastic part that works just perfect for the job.
In order to understand recursion, one must first understand recursion
I use a silicon basting brush with the bristles cut down to 1/2 inch. It was too floppy full length. Don't have to worry about cleanup. The glue dries on the brush but will not stick to silicon. Just pull it right off.
Thanks for the input, so I glued up my plywood box just gluing the 'end grain' and used the finger applicator pretty much spreading it out with a fair bit of pressure and ended up with just some beading of squeeze out after clamping down hard.
I usually use those little solder flux brushes to spread glue, especially to get it into the biscuit slots. For clean up I let it sit and used Paul's advice for letting it set, that worked quite well.
