I need help on transforming a throw type bedspread (king) into a fitted spread with split corners. Their is a headboard and footboard OR help/guidance with sewing a new bedspread. I know there are attached sides to a bedspread top but is there a way to accomplish this with a throw style? Will I need to recut the spread, etc.?
I can't speak about the spread but always have to make a split in dust ruffles at the footboard of an antique iron bed and higher wooden beds. If it is a purchased comforter set, I split the dust skirt where needed when on the bed by marking and hem so it will not ravel and accomodate the leg. If I am making the dust skirt,I make it with a divide and have the sides wrap a couple of inches around the end panel. I don't do anything to the top as it and the spread stop at the top of the bed. I have not had to cut my spreads as they are comforter size and just tuck in at the foot. If all else fails , you might consider doing a tailored dust skirt using what you cut off and a second fabric reducing your spread to comforter size which I have done before. Antique beds are taller ( I have several)and have legs so I have tried all sorts of things through the years to adapt purchased sets if daughters wanted those on occasion or when I did not want to make the entire set which I prefer to do. Maybe you could use some binding on your spread at the corners and get a quick fix at the foot board area. One of my beds requires nothing at the foot except a tuck under and small overhang at the sides as the sides and footboard(closed to the floor are meant to show) . Good luck with your project.
Most home dec books and probably somewhere online have this info for a tailored spread or even a purchased pattern. You might want to buy coordinating or matching fabric and cord to make covered piping to add strength to your seams if you go this route. You can also look closely at a purchased one at a friends or a thrift shop to see how you need to remake it. I made my often used sham pattern from measuring a discarded one I liked. I hope any of my rambling is helpful. Just go for it when you decide what you need to do.
Is this what you have in mind (view B)?
bedspread drawings
The side panels wrap around at the foot of the bed and are attached by a stay made from twill tape or something similiar. I made a tailored bedspread for my DSIL using the tailored bed skirt as a guide (her bed has a footboard). I didn't want there to be a gap underneath the top layer. Here are some pics:

DSIL says the bedspread split corners fit her bed perfectly. I haven't seen it yet as she lives about three hours away. Anyway, if you like either of these versions, let me know if I can help walk you through the process.

This is my second stay ar the Ames and I love it. I prefer hardwood floors over carpets and I like a clean, minimalistic, non frou frou look. The grey colors of the paint combined with sparkling white works wonderfully. The bed is great, a nice white and crisp duvet is always a must have for me, along with fluffy pillows. I bring my owm but it is not really necessary. I do have to list some concerns. After using some of the hair/body products in the morning, I will put them away so I can get a new set the next day for my niece back home. When I stayed here Last year housekeeping forgot to replenish them so I had to call the front desk. This year, exactly the same. There was nothing when I got to my room last night. They did bring some when i called but they forgot the soaps (did not ask him to go back) and had replaced my favorite matin + goetz shower gel and peppermint shampoo with a generic Morgan hotel one - I was very disappointed becauseci love this shampoo. After the guy left and I wanted to wash my face, I realized that housekeeping forgot to replenish the wash cloth so I had to make another call. Then a quick call out about the shower. Nice and big but it took forever to get the right temperature water and the pressure was dismal. Oh, one last thing. I bring my own pillow an both pillow and my two piece pjs were neatly placed on my bed when I left in the morning but when I came back last night both pillow were rolled up an stuffed next to my bed table on the floor. I was very upset about that because it is not very hygienic. I had planned to come back next time but based on this latest I'm not so sure. The shampoo thing seems so trivial to some but the kinds of products a hotel carries does weigh into decision whether or not I will stay in a particular hotel.

Vodafone has just released a new commercial entitled "No need for Jedi training." The spot, which is intended to promote its new RED Box service, features Jedi Master Yoda offering to assist a new Lumia 800 owner with transferring his contacts. Vodafone's RED Box service automatically transfers contacts and content from your old phone to your new phone so no Jedi tricks are required.
The ad was actually produced by Lucasfilm's own Industrial Light & Magic and Tom Kane, who performs the voice for the majority of the animated Star Wars series, voiced Yoda.
We're not sure how effective it would be, but it would be pretty cool to have your data transferred by Yoda himself.

Dr. Myers is very competent and goes all out for her patients. She makes sure you understand everything about your illness or condition, and is conservative when it comes to prescribing medication.
Dr. Myers is very through. She spends a lot of time just talking to you, to try to get to the bottom of WHY you have symtoms. She aims to correct your problems, not just ease your symptoms. I had an appointment at 2:00PM and stayed 'til 4:00, as she asked me a lot of questions in her office and gave me a thourough physical eval. She was very nice, and extreamly friendly. She also treats kids, and is awesome at making them feel confortable and safe. Dr. Mayers is the best! A
Excellent Doctor, listens carefully and is thorough. My allergies are so much better since I started seeing her.
Wonderful Doctor: Have been seeing her for years. She is very concerned and caring and treats her patients with respect. She is thorough and proactive in the field. Both myself and husband see her as patients and would not go to anyone else.

Every so often someone suggests, sometimes in jest and some times in all seriousness, that programming languages "count" as a language for meeting graduation or degree requirements. According to Ian Bogost, who is not happy about it, some schools are actually doing this and others are close to it. (Computers are Systems, not Languages)
Is this a good idea? I think it largely depends on what you see as the value in learning a language other than your own native language. As someone who struggled his whole academic career with languages (first year French twice, First year German three times) I'm not so sure that language learning the way we do it in US is much good. Very few really become fluent enough to have more than the most casual of conversations (any one have evidence to the contrary?) One reason I often heard for learning a foreign language (the politically correct term is world language I think) is that it gives one a better understanding of the culture of the countries where it is spoken. I guess that is true to some extent. Although with our "flat world" is it as necessary as it was a generation or two ago? Arguable. Isn't the world of computers a culture though? Perhaps learning to program helps people, especially in the humanities, some insights into that "other" culture?
Another reason I have heard is so that one can read research and other works in the original language. Perhaps that made a lot of sense when French and German were the principal languages of some areas of study. But today people write in far too many languages to make focusing on one make for a solid argument – well unless that language is English. An awful lot is written first in English even by people whose first language is not English. On the other hand there may be some value in being able to read code in the "original" language. It's a theory. And fortunately computer languages are often enough alike that learning one or two is enough to have a reading familiarity with others.
Does learning a different language help one understand their own language better? That seems a stronger argument than some others. There is no close corollary to this with programming languages with the possible exception of COBOL.
So am I arguing that programming languages should take the place of natural languages as general education requirements. Not really. I'm sort of asking why we have learning natural languages as a requirement. Sacrilege of course but why not? I do think that more people should take some programing or other real computer science course though. It is part of being a fully educated person in the 21st century.
The Microsoft Innovative Educator program at Microsoft is offering a number of two-day seminars for teacher trainers and technology integration specialists.
These seminars are designed for teacher trainers and those who have responsibilities training educators on the integration of technology in the classroom. It is encouraged to have teams from schools and districts attend as there will be time set aside to develop a teacher professional development action plan that can be used to train teachers how to incorporate Microsoft technologies into teaching and learning.
Teams attending should include those who have a responsibility for developing and/or implementing professional development in their district/region/state. Specifically, a strong team would include any combination of people representing education roles, including administrator, teacher trainer, education technology director, curriculum integration specialist, or master teacher.
In addition to learning new hands-on project-based, student-centered activities for K-12 classrooms, attendees will receive:

Mark Guzdial asks the question What's the argument for becoming a computer science teacher? on his blog. It's a good question. While as a former computer science teacher I may appear to be a strange one to make the case but I'm going to try. Being a computer science teacher is a great job. Really being a teacher in any subject is a great job and a lot of the reasons for teaching other subjects are part of teaching computer science. The student interaction, seeing students learn new and exciting things, and generally making a difference for good in the world. But there are of course some special things about teaching computer science that complicate the picture somewhat.
One is that if you are really qualified to teach computer science you are probably qualified to get a much better paying job in industry. If this is true, and generally it is, why take the lower paying teaching job?
Well besides the teacher benefits there is a certain amount of freedom to learn new things that one doesn't always have in industry. In industry your learning can be channeled in certain directions by management. And with work hours in the computer industry often being as time consuming as those in teaching (trust me – I've done both) one doesn't always have the time to learn about ones own interests. Computer science education is somewhat directed by the AP CS exam but that is only for one course. And while some teachers, by desire or necessity, focus all their courses around that one course many find the time and incentives to learn things in other directions. Game development for example using C# and XNA. Or more web development (perhaps using Expression Web with some free curriculum) In all of this, because of the nature of teaching, one can often focus on breath over depth. So rather than being confined to digging deeply into one of two technologies teachers can often dig lightly into a wide variety of technologies.
Of course this brings up the fact that some people are not excited about learning a lot of new technologies and having the curriculum change on a regular basis. I have no doubt at all that this is true. I have met teachers who are totally resistant to change and want to do the same thing year after year. To that I ask, do we really want people like that teaching (period – let alone computer science)?
The biggest problem is the law of supply and demand. There is not enough of a demand. Yes, NSF has a 10,000 computer science teacher effort but I don't see much of a sign that the states or even school districts are buying this. If there were lots of advertisements for full-time computer science teachers we'd probably see more people looking at doing it. Many people don't want to teach several sections of Math or history or English that they can teach one or two sections of computer science. This is widely true I think. We don't make the jobs common enough or interesting enough (and by interesting I am not talking about money) for excited young people to move into the field of CS education.
When done correctly, allowing some teacher freedom to develop new curriculum for new technologies, availability of in-service training, providing support in both facilities and recruiting help (not hindrance) from guidance, teaching computer science to high school students is a really great job. It is a chance to start the next generation of world changing computer/computing scientists and industry professions with a solid base. It is a chance to work with smart kids who have a real passion for the subject. Why become a computer science teacher? It's a fun job and a world changing job. If you love computer science it is even more fun than any other teaching job you can have.
Note: Take a look at Computing in the Core which is an effort to help get computer science adopted into the core curriculum in schools.

Heart Failure ComplicationsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Even if you are treating your heart failure successfully, you may develop a complication that can be serious and life-threatening. It is important to identify complications of heart failure as soon as possible, because some can be extremely serious conditions. You can discuss your complications with your doctor and learn to take the proper steps to prevent them. The table below outlines the complications of heart failure.
What is it?
What problems does it cause?
|Atrial fibrillation
|An irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
|Ventricular fibrillation or tachycardia
|Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
|Kidney failure
|Reduced functioning of your kidneys
Decreased oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in red blood cells
|Your brain is deprived of oxygen because its blood supply has been significantly decreased or cut off.
|Heart valve condition (especially mitral regurgitation)
|A leaky valve reduces the efficiency of the heart's pumping action.
|Cardiac cachexia
|Unintentional severe weight loss
|Leg venous stasis and ulcers
Venous stasis: Your skin thickens and looks shiny or scaly, your hair might also fall out, your skin may also turn brown or reddish.
Ulcers: Injuries to your swollen legs cause fluid to constantly ooze out of cuts in your skin.

I asked a general questions
But, I really wanted a more specific answer. So, I'll ask a more specific question:
Let's say that a man is swinging a rope around his head, with a stopper attached to the end of it. The rope is also anchored in his hands by a hanging mass. Regarding the mass on the end of the rope (the stopper) as the centripetal force, would the centripetal force then be equal to the mass (the hanging mass)?

Greensburg Salem backs repairs to career and technology center
Greensburg Salem school directors threw their support on Wednesday behind refurbishing the Central Westmoreland Career and Technology Center.
In an 8-0 vote, directors endorsed about $9.1 million in repair costs at the nearly 40-year-old school near New Stanton. Director Lee Kunkle didn't attend.
All nine school districts that are members of the technology center must vote to support the work for the project to move forward.
Greensburg Salem officials estimate the improvements will cost the district between $68,000 and $75,000 per year for the next 15 years. Initial annual assessments for the other districts ranged from $54,000 to $153,000, based on attendance.
In October, Brad Elwood, center director, told Greensburg Salem directors the work is for "the nuts and bolts of the building" and is not part of a renovation plan.
The technical school's roof, electrical and mechanical systems are all original to the building, which opened in 1975, Elwood said.
By doing the project as part of an energy-saving program involving Chevron, technology center officials said costs will be lower and energy savings will result.
Greensburg Salem Superintendent Eileen Amato said after the school board meeting she believes a negative vote from a school district might increase the repair costs.
In another matter, directors unanimously agreed to accept a lump-sum payment from the owner of the state office building on North Main Street, rather than 24 installment payments, as part of a tax settlement.
In taking the lump-sum payment of $289,706, directors agreed to give owner Columbia Greensburg SPE LLC a 5 percent discount.

That, astonishingly, is a typical entry in this splendid literary tapestry.
What happened to the formerly addictive, splendid, elegant costume drama?
He tossed the splendid diadem in the air, and catching it, turned to me smiling.
In July 2008, Frank Bruni of The New York Times gave Oceana a resounding 3-star review, saying "desserts as a whole are splendid."
The Lights have expanded on the photographs and added a splendid written commentary.
There's a splendid side to that poor lad's nature, if you but knew it.
His residence is at the Porte, where he has one of the splendid palaces.
Portia is a splendid creature, radiant with confidence, hope, and joy.
As the son of God I am from everlasting to everlasting, a splendid being with the universe as my home.
"That's a splendid idea," cried Mollie, overjoyed at the notion.
1620s, probably a shortening of earlier splendidious (early 15c.), from Latin splendidus "magnificent, brilliant," from splendere "be bright, shine, gleam, glisten," from PIE *(s)plend- "bright" (cf. Lithuanian splendziu "I shine," Middle Irish lainn "bright"). An earlier form was splendent (late 15c.).

I have a script file embedded in the Workspace that contains functions. I would like call these functions from script files embedded in child objects of the Workspace. I don't want to have to copy and paste these functions into multiple script files. I figured the object oriented approach would be best if its possible.
I found what I was looking for in this tutorial on Exposing public functions written by the notorious jediknightkrazy.
An alternative to _G is to use the also globally avaliable table, shared. Shared is used the same way _G is, but you must specify "shared" before the variable identifier, unlike _G, where you
Just like in the global stack, _G. Example usage of shared:
Script 1
Script 2
The output of this script would be "Hello, How are you?"
You can make the function global. In one script do this:
In another script do this:
By defining a function is _G you must wait for the script to execute assigning the function, then you can call the function even without specifying _G.
This won't work because, due to ROBLOX updates, you now have to index _G whenever you access items inside it.
You cannot use dofile() in ROBLOX, either, as I saw mentioned above.
In answer to the question: you need to create a function in one script into the global table - _G, by adding _G.MyFunction = function(parameters) end. In another script, you need to access it inside the _G table - _G.MyFunction().
A common problem that appears for ROBLOX scripters is that you try to access your function inside _G before it is created. A simple way to solve this is to add a wait until it is created, as suggested from Camoy's post:
Hope this helps! -pighead10
The simplest way would be to use _G or shared.
In one script,
In another script, you would use this code.
This would also work with the global table shared, instead of _G.
I know it has been said before, but just use the normal _G or shared to access it.
Script one
Script two

Perennial Department Thoughts
Here at Reilly's, it is going to be a fabulous year for perennials. We carry a wide selection of shade and sun perennials, ornamental grasses, groundcovers and rock garden plants, hostas, ferns, daylilies and vines.
We focus on new perennial introductions - plants bred for their color, length of bloom, growth habit or their pest and disease resistance. Look at our list of the '2014 OUTSTANDING PERENNIALS'. In addition, that is only a sampling of what will be on the perennial tables. Many of these new perennial varieties are shorter and more compact plants, perfect for the downsizing baby boomer and the young first-time homeowner. These plants accommodate smaller garden bed sizes, (as shown above) and are often used as a groundcover. The plants we picked often have better pest and disease resistance than their predecessors, such as resistance to powdery mildew, and are easy to maintain and require no staking. Many have long bloom times and fragrant flowers and all are hardy to zone 5.
As Deer-munching is always a concern in both urban and rural Pittsburgh, we continue to offer a good selection of deer resistant perennials for both shade and sun gardens. As well as a large selection of grasses and groundcovers. Reilly's Garden Center is open year-round but the first shipment of spring perennials will arrive during the last week of March. Subsequent shipments continue almost weekly. If you cannot find a plant that you are looking for, please ask our staff. We will always do our best to find your request.
Whether you are starting a garden or reworking existing plantings, Reilly's offers a variety of services to help you achieve a beautiful landscape. Call to schedule a free 30-minute design consultation at the garden center with one of our designers and plant experts. We will ask you to bring photos and measurements of your site, and, in return, we will help identify some plants or plant combinations that can work in your garden.
Home visits: Home consultations are available to evaluate the gardens and plantings, and to offer suggestions. The fee for this visit is $75.00. If further landscape designs are desired, we will take needed measurements and pictures. (Applies to homes within 15 miles of Reilly's Garden Center.) The fee is payable to the landscape designer at the time of the visit.
Design Services: $35 per hour. This service includes a preliminary and finished drawing along with meetings to review and approve the design as it progresses. This payment is due at the final presentation of the landscape design.
The Perennial Manager Position torch passed to Ms. Jennifer Aranda in late spring last year and through the season has found her feet. She will do her best to serve all customer requests. Her horticulture and design knowledge is extensive and she is enrolled in the Masters program in Landscape Management and Design at Chatham University. If you have any question about perennials, please e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 412-364-8662.

Hiring Crampons for Toubkal
If you climb Toubkal in winter or spring you'll need crampons. You should always double check the latest conditions for Toubkal before you head off but a useful rule of thumb is that the winter snowline is at Sidi Charamouch (2300m altitude) while the spring snow line is at the level of the Toubkal refuge (3207m). Ice-axes are not essential in spring; for winter it's best to check at the information booth in Imlil.
Imlil is a good place to rent crampons, ice-axes and other equipment for hiking. We hired crampons for two days at Hotel Café Soleil in Imlil. It cost 125 Dh per pair of crampons for two days (negotiated down from 150). The guy was very helpful and as we hadn't used them before he showed us how to tie them. Despite getting a reduction from his initial asking price, I'm pretty sure we paid more than we should have, especially as they were quite an old pair. It might be worth asking in a few places around Imlil to get the best price. The guy was willing to throw in ice-axes too for 150 Dirham but we were pretty sure we didn't need these so we just went for the crampons.
Camel riding
We stopped by the side of the road to photograph a very cute white baby camel, and were immediately offered camel rides. For a charge of course. They had no saddles, so you had to ride bareback. David was th only one who tried, and he said it was easier than it looked.

Lindsay Lohan will be joined by actor Grant Bowler in the forthcoming Lifetime biopic of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Lohan was cast as the late Hollywood actress last year, though film bosses have struggled to find an actor suitable to play the Welsh icon.
That search now appears to be over, after Deadline.com reported that Bowler would be officially joining the cast. The movie will center on the turbulent relationship of the Hollywood couple, who were married and divorced twice while constantly being hounded by the media. Bowler is perhaps best known for his role in the U.S. television comedy 'Ugly Betty', though also appeared in 'True Blood' and will soon star in the Syfy series 'Defiance'. 'Liz and DICk' begins production on June 4, 2012, and executive producer Larry A. Thompson said, "Grant will add gravitas to our couple and bring to life one of the greatest actors who has ever lived. Burton was a Welsh poet, a rascal, and a man's man, who swept Elizabeth Tayloroff her feet and flew her so close to the sun that they both exploded into stardust that still lights up Hollywood". He also claimed the chemistry between Lohan and Bowler "erupted in the room" during a recent read-through.
The biopic will represent the first major project of Lohan's since the completion of her probation earlier this year.

Dead Island
Question from cycotic_clown
Lock pick skills??
While walking around the island I noticed some of the bigger crates say I need a lock pick skill. Does anybody know how or when you acquire this skill?
4 years ago
Top Voted Answer
It's unlocked in the survival tech tree everyone gets it early except Sam B guessing for his character role as a tank. Lock picking has some potential in the long run of the game since alot of the "best" weapons may be found in the metal chest. But they give you good weapons based on your current level so if you get a weapon it'll be to the strength of your current level (White - common, Green - Uncommon, Blue - Rare, Orange - Unique, Purple - Exceptional). So end game when money wouldn't matter anymore going treasure hunting for level 3 chest would be an investment for modified weapons giving your blue weapons to the rare violet.

There is a Lock Skill tree in the Survival Area of the skill section, Tier 1-2 if I am not mistaken. There are three levels of lock picking and simply unlocking them will allow you to open those crates. However, there is no fancy way of doing so like you would see in things like Oblivion

You will have to spend skill points to unlock the lock picking skills.

Purna is a good character for this as she gets lockpick early and can combine it with Jackpot skill for +15% chance of rare loot.
Locked chests and their levels do not guarantee great loot, but they do tend to be better than you can find elsewhere. Also level 3 chests appear slightly red to make them stand out - there is one in Resort Bunker #2 once you have helped Nikolai

It's in the Skill Tree, you should see in the Survival.

ALL my .38/.357's are loaded with the Hornaday C.D. loads. It EXCELS IN everything: flesh, denim, glass, metal, down, dry wall. Others do well in one or 2 BUT the C.D. tops them all down the line.
I've seen several tests of CD where it hasn't expanded. Don't believe the media hype it doesn't always expand just like other HPs.
Maybe OK for someone who can't deal with hotter loads out of a light weight gun but moving to a heavier gun would probably be a better choice.
I dig your vids, Ljutic.

A reduced powder charge aka reduced recoil! So would anyone here really want to trust their life to a short loaded cartridge? JMHO but I'm sticking with my Gold Dot +P or my Winchester T-Series +P

I had a box of .38 Sp CD about 3 years ago....for my M36 snubby. Shot 5 when new, and they were fine. A year later....with 15 rounds left....I decided to shoot them up. 10 of the remaining 15 did NOT shoot! Primer strike.....click. No boom. I have a bad taste in my
mouth about using any of these anymore in ANY caliber....YMMV.

There is a solution but we are not Jedi... not yet.
We have deep thinkers and stinkers in this group that could come up with a solution...
quote from Hornady website: "Since their inception, conventional hollow point pistol bullets have performed well, but have never delivered 100% reliability especially in self-defense situations. The patented Flex Tip® technology used in Critical Defense® ammunition eliminates the clogging and inconsistency that often plagues hollow point bullets. "
I've shot dozens and dozens and dozens of Gold Dots and HSTs and PDX1s into gel, and can't recall a case of any of them failing to expand due to being clogged with denim. I've pulled plenty of blobs of denim out of the center of expanded bullets, but I haven't had any of them fail to open for clogging. Now, I have had that happen with Golden Sabers, for example, but not with the modern bullets.
But yes, I've had some Critical Defense fail to open up, in .380 and in 9mm. I've probably shot three dozen of them into gel, between 380, 9mm, 45 ACP and 45 Colt, so only a couple failing to open isn't a huge percentage but it's definitely not what the marketing makes it out to be (which, as you quoted, says it "eliminates the clogging and inconsistency". Simply put, no it does not. Frankly, I have yet to see the point of the plug, or identify a situation where it works where a conventional bullet would not work. If someone can point out such a situation I'd be glad to test it.
Oooh, just reminded me, I have had exactly one case of an HST failing to open up through a denim test, but that was when it had to penetrate 12 layers of denim, so that's a really extreme case...
If memory serves....I'm getting old so this might not be historically correct. The Hornady Polymer Tip first appeared on lever gun ammo LEVERevolution as a safeguard against primer detonation in the tubular magazine during recoil. A year or two later, Critical Defense was born with the same FTX flex tip technology.
In my testing the FTX bullets fail to expand in similar proportion to other hollow point bullets. Shove the best bullet in the world in a short enough barrel and it will fail the denim test. Some extra speed is needed to defeat the denim barrier because the denim in the cavity must be compressed enough to allow the gel media into the cavity to cause upset. HST 124 grain +P failed from the little 2.7" Kimber Solo barrel. Gold Dot 124 +P also failed in the same barrel. They are both great bullets, but you can make them fail if you slow them down enough. The tests are my YouTube channel if you are interested.
In the LEVERevolution it makes perfect sense... the idea there is to keep the pointy end of the bullet from poking the primer of the round in front of it, so yeah, polymer there is ideal.
And yes, all bullets have a window of velocity that they are designed to work within; if you drive them too slow they'll fail to expand, if you drive them too fast they may overexpand or even start to come apart. There is a minimum acceptable velocity for any ammo; that's one reason why I'm conducting a series of tests from short barrels, is to find out which rounds will work and which fail when faced with the common short barrels today. Haven't tried anything as short as the Kimber Solo but I would expect that it would be rather difficult to find hollowpoints that would reliably work from such a short barrel!
I just did a test on Gold Dot 124+P and 124+P Short Barrel from a 3" 9mm, so I'll check out your tests to see what velocities you got and compare them to what I got and maybe we can figure out what the proper threshold for those rounds should be...

It has a square crank hole, but obviously if I am going to buy this thing, would like it to be as versatile as possible, since this is not the only bike I own. Would the park Tools CWP-6 fill the bill on being able to work on all cotterless cranks?

What is it that makes the Hobbit a much nicer read? Never read it myself but would consider it.
Is it an easier read? A shorter story? or perhaps easier to keep track of characters and events?

Okay, so the Hobbit part one comes out very soon, and i seriously can't wait.
I seriously hope they don't stray to far from the book, how ever it is peter jackson so i think he will do as much as he can.
After all i do think he did a fantastic job with the Lord of The Rings movies too.
What part are you looking forward to seeing in the filim the most?

I so hope...and I know it probably won't happen....that Peter Jackson will take a hard look at The Silmarillion...man I loved that book. My youngest daughter is a Tolkein fan now (she's 19) we saw the movie together and she has not yet read "The Silmarillion"...I was telling her parts of the story of the first age and she asked me "when did you read this"...I grinned..."When I was younger than you"...she looked puzzled..."How do you remember all of this?"
"Because it is the most wonderful fantasy ever written"...edit on 12/19/2012 by Jeremiah65 because: (no reason given)
The problem, Jackson says, is in who controls the rights to the work. "The Silmarillion is the big volume, but that's owned by the Tolkien estate," he said. "It's not owned by Warner Bros. or MGM — and I don't think the Tolkien estate are very fond of these movies, so I wouldn't expect to see The Silmarillion any time soon."

I would like to plot last observation from my data.frame in different colour/shape. Now, one close entry about this topic is here at SO but not exactly what I need. This solution I'm posting here works, but I would be glad to have also other option/ways to deal with this matter within lattice as this seems clumsy somewhat to me.
Sample data:
data <- data.frame(x=rnorm(10,0,1),y=rnorm(10,1,2))
n <- nrow(data)
plot1 <- xyplot(x~y, data, col=ifelse(data$x==(data$x[n]), "red", "black"),
pch=ifelse(data$x==(data$x[n]), 19, 1), cex=ifelse(data$x==(data$x[n]), 2, 1))
EDIT: Also the above solution seems not to work if the last two observations are exactly the same. And this is what I'm having in my data occasionally.

Crude oil prices have traded in a band between about $85 per barrel on the low side and approaching $100 on the high side. Barring major economic or geopolitical disruptions, it appears safe to assume that black gold is unlikely to stray far from that range for the next couple of years.
A reduction of the U.S.'s reliance on foreign oil imports requires the development of shale rock formations around the country, areas where traditional drilling methods don't work as well. The horizontal drilling and the hydraulic fracturing technology are the latest major developments in the hydrocarbon market that boosted the shale oil and gas production in North America and brought a revolution in the domestic oil and gas industry.
In addition, it does not matter whether a well is a gusher or a dry hole. The driller will be paid for his services either way.
For these reasons, among others, there will always be a baseline of drilling activity going forward, that will extend from North America to new exploration areas such as Africa, Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, and South America. This will benefit the energy services sector that will remain a very attractive sector during this year and beyond.
This is why I decided to write few articles about the oilfield services companies, which at will be a very useful tool for all the value investors who try to identify the undervalued and the overvalued players along with some potential acquisition targets. This series captures all the onshore players with market cap up to ~$3 billion.
The distinction
In the first and second Part of this series, I pointed out that there is a lot of opportunity and lack of availability of rigs in some key international markets, while the demand in North America is flat or trending downwards. In North America, there is a fierce competition in the oilfield sector during the last couple of years that hurts the prices and reduces the margins for the majority of the companies. Add on this, some recurring problems that the companies encounter in North America (i.e. spring break up in Canada due to the severe weather in winter), and the domestic outlook for the sector is quite disheartening. My articles are here and here. All those who want to get a better idea about the ongoing situation in the oilfield sector will find both articles very useful.
Meanwhile, demand exceeds the supply in some key international markets and the international expansion is the only way for the domestic oilfield companies to buck the weakness in North America. After all, the international oilfield companies are primary acquisition targets, attracting a lot of interest from several suitors lately.
The M&A Activity
The vibrant M&A activity is focused primarily on the Canadian companies of the sector and the U.S.-based suitors pay significant premium (PBV=2 or higher) to acquire them. The most significant deals during the last couple of years are below:
1)A few weeks ago, General Electric (NYSE:GE) acquired Lufkin Industries (NASDAQ:LUFK), paying 13x Lufkin's annual EBITDA.
2) A few months ago, Western Energy Services (OTC:WEEEF) also paid a good premium (PBV=2) and acquired the Canadian IROC Energy Services.
3) In early 2012, U.S. Engineering company URS Corporation (NYSE:URS) paid a significant premium (PBV=3) to acquire the Canadian Flint Energy Services.
4) In late 2012, the U.S.-based FMC Technologies (NYSE:FTI) paid a good premium (PBV=2) to acquire Canadian Pure Energy Services. With a major portion of its total revenue coming from outside the U.S., FMC Technologies' international operations are expected to be a key growth driver, going forward. According to the company, this will also play an offsetting role to the soft domestic drilling scene. FMC has identified Latin America, Asia Pacific and the Middle East as the key markets in this regard.
5) In 2012, the U.S.-based National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV) also paid a good premium (PBV=1.8) and acquired the Canadian CE Franklin.
6) Back in 2008, U.S.-based giant Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB) acquired the Canadian Saxon Energy Services to position itself in the dynamic international arena. Saxon Energy Services was characterized as "the jewel of Canadian drillers" by BMO Capital Markets and was founded by Walter Dawson. Walter Dawson has also founded both Enserco Energy Services and the Calgary-based Computalog, which have been acquired by Nabors Industries (NYSE:NBR) and Precision Drilling (NYSE:PDS) respectively.
Digging Into The Fundamentals
The key metrics and the outlook are of high importance when I am doing my due diligence. According to the latest Q1 2013 reports, the key ratios for this third group of companies from the oilfield services sector are shown below:
Margin (%)
Margin (%)
LT Debt
LT Debt
EV: Enterprise Value
LT: Long Term
EBITDA* : Estimated EBITDA (annualized).
Flotek Industries (NYSE:FTK) operates in three areas. Its chemicals and logistics division provides specialty chemicals used in the stimulation, cementing, and blending of oil and gas wells. The drilling products division designs and manufactures downhole tools for the energy, mining, and water industries. Its artificial lift unit supplies pumping system components, including pumps, separators and valves. Flotek also announced recently the acquisition of Florida Chemical Company, the world's largest processor of citrus oils.
According to the company's CEO, North America is a challenging operating environment for the companies of the sector. Thanks to the international markets, the company's revenue was relatively flat in Q1 2013, in comparison to Q4 2012, even as total North American drilling activity was weak and decreased by over 11% during the past 12 months.
The international markets like Mexico, the Netherlands and Turkey made significant contributions to overall chemical sales. In addition, Flotek continues its expansion strategy to new emerging markets like Guatemala, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. In Oman, Flotek recently signed a Letter of Intent with Gulf Energy, a leading Omani oilfield technology company, to jointly develop oilfield chemistry and production facilities in the Sultanate of Oman to serve the rapidly growing hydrocarbon markets in the Middle East and North Africa. In Q1 2013, Flotek's Teledrift division also posted strong results thanks primarily to the expansion to Saudi Arabia through Saudi Aramco, to Argentina and Kazakhstan.
Thanks to four acquisitions completed in Q4 2012, Forum Energy Technologies' (NYSE:FET) top and bottom line grew in Q1 2013 in comparison to Q4 2012. The Drilling & Subsea divisions benefited much from this expansion strategy but the Drilling Technologies division continued to face demand softness due to the depressed North America land drilling market.
This is why, Forum decided few days ago to strengthen the international presence of its Drilling Technologies division too by acquiring Blohm and Voss Oil Tools. Blohm and Voss manufactures a comprehensive range of pipe handling equipment used on offshore and onshore drilling rigs. Blohm + Voss Oil Tools has a significant presence in international markets complementing Forum's presence in the weak North America market.
Both Flotek and Forum trade at a very good premium primarily due to the lack of significant long-term debt.
TETRA Technologies (NYSE:TTI) provides a variety of onshore services focused on completion fluids, water management, after-frac flow back and production well testing along with selected offshore services like well plugging and abandonment, decommissioning, and diving. According to the company's CEO, TETRA had reduced earnings in Q1 2013 (excluding the results of the Maritech segment) in comparison to the previous quarters in 2012, primarily due to lower-than-anticipated onshore U.S. and Canadian activity. This dismal U.S. and Canadian activity also resulted in a very low operating margin for the company.
The weak activity in the onshore markets in the U.S. and Canada was not offset by the small exposure to Mexico. In Mexico, TETRA has seen a significant reduction in activity lately due to a reevaluation of budgeting by its major customer. However, TETRA is optimistic and remains confident that Mexico will be a major contributor to the company's growth over the intermediate- to long-term.
USA Compression Partners LP (NYSE:USAC) is a new entrant in the sector and closed its initial public offering in January 2013. This is another provider of compression services to producers, processors, gatherers and transporters of natural gas. USA Compression focuses on deploying large HP infrastructure applications primarily in high volume gathering systems, processing facilities and transportation applications.
The company's eye-catching EBITDA margin is offset by the high debt and the zero international exposure. To me, the company is richly valued at the current levels.
Compressco Partners L.P. (GSJK) provides compression-based production enhancement services for natural gas and oil exploration and production companies. Its production enhancement services are used in both conventional wellhead compression applications and unconventional compression applications.
TETRA and Compressco have a synergistic relationship. TETRA is the majority owner and general partner in Compressco Partners LP. When TETRA opens the door with a customer through production testing or other services, Compressco follows up with well enhancement services.
In Q1 2013, Compressco continued its expansion to the domestic conventional and unconventional applications, particularly liquids-rich shale plays, and it also invested significant capital on its international operations that extend from Mexico to Eastern Europe and the Asian-Pacific region.
Compressco might be an interesting play for income seekers due to its dividend. Nevertheless, the company is fairly valued currently and I do not expect significant capital gains from this stock.
After all, I am not bullish for any of the aforementioned companies, because I do not consider any of them to be undervalued at the current levels. To me, they are either richly or fairly valued.
In my future articles I plan to cover the big and the intermediate oilfield companies along with the offshore players of this industry. I believe it will be a very interesting read primarily for value investors who want to buy low and sell high. Stay tuned!
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Rebecca Hall Replacing Jessica Chastain in Iron Man 3?
That was fast! Days after Jessica Chastain announced she would no longer be playing a "sexy scientist" in Marvel Studios and Disney's Iron Man 3, The Town's Rebecca Hall swooped in to save the day.
British actress Hall, 29, is currently in talks to replace Chastain, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Both Robert Downey Jr., 47, and Gwyneth Paltrow, 39, will reprise their roles from the wildly successful Iron Man and Iron Man 2 movies.
Chastain, 31, announced she was bowing out of the project Sunday. "Sorry to say that Iron Man 3 isn't going to work out. My schedule is jam-packed and I can't fit anything else in. The press announced my possible attachment far too soon," the Oscar-nominated actress explained via Facebook.
"I know many of you wanted me to be involved, and I'm so sorry to disappoint you," added Chastain, who starred in seven movies in 2011. "Hopefully there'll be another Marvel film in my future. Shane Black and everyone on the Iron Man 3 team are really wonderful. I'm very excited to see the film when it comes out."
In addition to The Town, Hall's notable film credits include The Prestige, Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Everything Must Go.
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of The Avengers
Downey and Paltrow, 39 recently reprised their roles in The Avengers, which earned more than $700 million worldwide in less than two weeks. On Tuesday, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced there will be a sequel to the film, starring Downey, Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner and Tom Hiddleston.

text: One hundred and one years ago today -- June 15, 1911 -- Charles Kettering of Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company (DELCO) applied for what would become U.S. Patent #1,150,523: the starter motor. Up to that time, cars with internal combustion engines had to be started using a hand crank, which -- aside from requiring serious muscle -- could kick back and seriously injure the operator. The following year, Cadillac became the first automaker to implement the invention, which effectively opened the car market up to women, who could now easily start their cars without the assistance of a man.

VIPRE Premium takes Sunbelt's effective anti-malware solution and adds a firewall. I wish the firewall didn't force you to choose between full protection and popup suppression. Still, if you're looking for protection beyond simple anti-malware without the impact of a full suite VIPRE Premium may suit you to a tee.
