Making the Glif
Hello all,
We cut together a little short film documenting our trip to Premier Source in South Dakota, and more specifically the manufacturing process of the Glif. It's embedded below, or you can check it out in HD on Vimeo here.
We hope you enjoy!
Regarding the Glif's status, everything is moving along. The packaging / boxing should be happening at the end of this week, and everything will be shipped out to the fulfillment center early next week. From there it will be a few days before orders begin shipping out. We can't wait for you all to see them; it's been a wild ride and we can't believe we're nearing the end (of this chapter, at least).

Creator Galen King on November 30, 2010
It's been such a privilege to be part of this process with you guys. You've done such a great job. I'm really impressed and inspired by what you've created and how you've done it. Big ups from New Zealand!
Creator grd13 on November 30, 2010
Congratulations for this wonderful video. I look forward to receiving my GLIF
Creator Thom Robinson on November 30, 2010
Great video...thanks for sharing this :)
Creator Alon Koppel on November 30, 2010
Great video and I am so glad to see it's made here and not in China, like everything else these days...
Creator Diane on November 30, 2010
Got my Glif and passed it on as a gift (we're a Blackberry family). I gave it to my contractor who is *still* thanking me for it. He loves it. Eats lunch watching videos, uses it with his tripod etc. So I just ordered 3 more as stocking stuffers. Great idea guys! So happy for you!!
Creator Dav Yaginuma on November 30, 2010
Will it fit over the standard case that Apple sent out at the end of Antannaegate?
Creator lynn on November 30, 2010
so fun to see the process....you guys sure are neat! ;)
Creator Bontemps Benoit on November 30, 2010
bien joué !!!!, pressé de le recevoir !
Creator Roger S. Cohen on November 30, 2010
Glif, good. But I was disappointed to learn that it won't fit over my iPhone 4 Bumpers. :-(
Is wonder if I can modify by knife, or by sanding, my Glif so that it will fit securely over Bumpers.
Creator Paul D. Waite on November 30, 2010
That's a beautiful song soundtracking the video. I'd never heard of Mediums before, and neither had Spotify. They sound a bit like a combination of Broken Social Scene and Mogwai.
Creator Jeff Monday on November 30, 2010
Awesome video! I just got my 3D printed glif before thanksgiving and used it the whole weekend. It rocks!
Thank you for the thank you card! That was a really nice touch!
Creator Raun Burnham on November 30, 2010
I received my special early Glif a couple of weeks ago. I don't have an IPhone 4, but I find it works for the sideways function with my iPhone 3. It's a beautiful little device, and you guys must be so proud -- just like fathers!
Happy holidays to both of you and congratulations on a wonderfully productive year.
Creator Troy on November 30, 2010
Love the videos and all of the updates. Thanks so much for letting us take this journey with you as you bring this product to market. I'm happier everyday that I decide to invest my meager funds with you guys and hope the glif is a runaway success.
Creator Mike James on November 29, 2010
You guys are livin' the dream! Thanks for sharing the ride with us.
Creator Jesse Scroggins on November 29, 2010
Great video guys. I like all the informative updates. I didn't realize how involved the injection molding process was. I can't wait to try out my Glif!
Creator Andrew Cornett on November 29, 2010
Really awesome video guys.
Creator Glen Vigus on November 29, 2010
This has been a cool experience, watching the idea come to life. I'm also very proud that y'all kept this "Made in America." When I drove home for Thanksgiving, I passed the now abandoned factory my father used to work at. The only thing that will turn our economy around is to make things here. There's nothing wrong with global trading, but we have to figure out ways to stay in the game. Cheers!
Creator Brian Dusablon on November 29, 2010
Awesome. The videos are great. I've enjoyed learning about this process. Very cool stuff.
Creator Charles Nusbaum on November 29, 2010
Thank you for sharing!
Creator David Lee on November 29, 2010
Great stuff! Keep it coming!
Creator Jonathan Keel on November 29, 2010
I love that it's designed and manufactured in the USA. Good job and thank you for all the updates!
Creator Anthony Vargas on November 29, 2010
pretty cool. Thank you for all the updates. it looks snug and like it wont fall out upside down. I just bought a little flexibile stand. We should have a site where we can collectively post the stuff (videos) we caputured using the GLIF. We have our own community because of the GLIF project. Peace
Creator Derek Lowrey on November 29, 2010
Great video. It's like watching a new little life being born. I'm excited to get mine and put it to work.
Creator Scott Klein on November 29, 2010
this is awesome. been really cool to follow this journey from start to finish. thanks for posting the videos, they make the $20 more and more worth it.
Creator Aakash Mehta on November 29, 2010
Does the inside of the Glif have any coating? Will it definitely not scratch my iPhone 4? (I'm very paranoid about such things!)
Creator WALLY RODRIGUEZ on November 29, 2010
When will those of us who pledged the $50 get our 3D printed Glifs?

That night, Rainbow and Pinkie secretly crept over to Twilight's library. They peeked inside to see what the ponies were up to. Rainbow could see that Twilight was telling ghost stories to the other two. "Perfect timing!" she said. "What's going on, Rainbow Dash?" Pinkie asked. "They're telling ghost stories now. This'll be a perfect time for us to pull off our grand master pony prank!" Little did all the other ponies know, Dash secretly swapped the ghost story Twilight was originally planning to read with one about a killer gorilla, making this a perfect opportunity to give the three of them nightmares. Using her Pinkie sense, Pinkie was able to hear Twilight through the tree. She could tell what part of the story she was on. "Sounds like she's wrapping up," said Pinkie. "Alright," said Rainbow. "Now, let's get dressed!" Pinkie had the gorilla costume ready to go. She stepped inside it and stood up on her hind hooves. Rainbow Dash got on Pinkie's shoulders. "This is it, Pinkie," said Dash. "I hope you're ready." "I'm totally ready!" Pinkie said as she pulled up the costume so Dash could slip the top half of the costume onto her.
Meanwhile, inside the tree, Twilight was finishing up her ghost story, which was really Dash's story. "And then, the gorilla reached down at the helpless colt, grabbed him and threw him far away into the night sky. He was never to be heard from again." "Tarnation," said Applejack. "That was one heck of a story." "You said it, Applejack," said Rarity. "Thanks, guys," said Twilight. "Even I didn't know I had this story. So who's next?" Suddenly, there was a growl. Twilight and Applejack got scared at the sound. "W-w-what was that?" Twilight asked in a scared tone. "It c-could be a m-monster," said Applejack. Rarity laughed, "Silly ponies. That was just me. You just heard my stomach grumbling." Twilight and AJ sighed with relief. Rarity blushed a little again when her stomach growled a second time. "You'll have to excuse me, but ghost stories do make me hungry," she said. "Well, I did send Spike to pick up that pizza that I ordered," said Twilight. "I wonder what's taking him so long to get back here." "Why don't we play another game while we're waiting?" suggested Applejack. "Good idea," said Twilight. "How about we play a game called Never Have I Ever?" All of a sudden, the ponies all heard a very loud growl. Thinking it was Rarity's stomach again, Applejack said, "My, Rarity, that rumbling belly of yours sure doesn't sound very lady-like." "Um…I don't think that was my stomach, Applejack," Rarity stammered. "I think she's right," said Twilight. "It sounded like it came from outside." "Well, I'm curious to know what that sound was," said Applejack. "Me too," said Twilight. "Let's go investigate." So the trio walked outside. The sound that they heard, little do they know, was actually the sound Pinkie had recorded earlier that day. She was playing it back turned up at its maximum level. Just then, Rainbow Dash noticed the ponies were coming outside. "Uh-oh! Here they come! Let's get ready to surprise them, Pinkie!" she said. Pinkie hid inside the costume and zipped it up while Rainbow put the mask on her head.
The trio of ponies walked outside and looked around. They didn't see anything that could have made that sound, until suddenly, Rainbow Dash let out a really loud roar. The ponies turned to see the disguised Rainbow and Pinkie running towards them! Twilight and the others screamed, and they galloped away as fast as they could. Pinkie gave chase carrying Dash on her shoulders while still in the costume. Dash roared as ferociously as she could. Pinkie giggled inside the costume, and fortunately, all the other commotion going on was loud enough to drown out her giggles. Twilight, AJ and Rarity kept running and running and running, until finally, they all fell into a big puddle of mud. They were stuck. "Oh no! Why did this have to happen?" cried Rarity. "Not only are we going to be eaten alive, but my beautiful coat is all muddy! Why must I live the last moment of my life like this? Of all the horrible things that could happen today, this is THE WORST POSSIBLE THING!" Apple Jack sighed, "She'll never learn." Pinkie slowly walked up to the ponies who were struggling to get out of the mud. The three ponies were scared stupid. Pinkie leaned over so that Rainbow Dash could close in on the ponies. She acted all monstrous at first, but then, she got back up and took off her mask. "Gotcha!" she said laughing. Pinkie unzipped the costume revealing herself. "We really got you!" she said, and then she started to laugh. The other three got mad at Pinkie and Dash. "That was not very funny, you two," snorted Twilight. "You're right. It wasn't," said Pinkie. "It was hilarious!" Rainbow Dash continued to laugh. "You should have seen the looks on your faces when we jumped out at you!" she said. Soon, Applejack cheered up and said, "I gotta admit, that actually was a pretty good prank." Dash and Pinkie got out of their costume. "We kind of wanted to get back at you ponies because you three have all these slumber parties and never invite us," explained Rainbow Dash. "I thought you didn't like slumber parties," said Twilight. "Well, I thought maybe I'd fix up the party so it wouldn't be so girly," Dash responded. "And what's a party without me?" asked Pinkie. Twilight responded, "Okay. I'm sorry I never invited you two. From now on, whenever I host a slumber party at my place, I'll be sure to invite every pony, and by every pony, I mean our core group. Now, could you please help us get out of this mud?"

Smoother Road Ahead?
I wrote earlier this month about a tough 20-game stretch for the Phillies against teams with winning records:
- 3 vs. Atlanta
- 3 at Florida
- 3 at Atlanta
- 2 at St. Louis
- 2 vs. Colorado
- 3 vs. Texas
- 4 vs. Cincinnati
So how'd they do? They survived. They went 10-10. The Phillies scored three or fewer runs in 14 of those games, including a stretch of nine consecutive games of three or fewer runs and a season-high four-game losing streak. They hit just .222 with a .286 on-base percentage and a .351 slugging percentage in that 20-game span. They averaged just 3.3 runs per game. They had a 3.06 ERA as a team, including a 3.37 ERA in the rotation and a 2.37 ERA in the bullpen.
I suppose there are two ways to look at it. The offense played about as poorly as it can play and the Phillies still broke even. Or the offense played poorly against good competition, which should give it flashbacks to the 2010 NLCS against San Francisco.
Whatever you think, the Phillies have an opportunity to really distance themselves in the next few weeks. They play 16 consecutive games against teams with losing records: three at New York, three at Washington, three at Pittsburgh, three vs. Los Angeles and four vs. Chicago.

Relax for a Second
The Phillies have played seven consecutive games with six or fewer hits and three or fewer runs.
Gotta get a bat, right?
Hold on just a second. Actually, hold on for a month. I'm not ready to start trading prospects or key players on the 25-man roster for a few reasons:
- Chase Utley hasn't played yet.
- Domonic Brown hasn't played yet.
- Shane Victorino is on the DL.
- A couple key hitters are slumping.
The Phillies have not played one game this year, including Spring Training, with their everyday lineup. I want to see what happens when everybody is back. I want to see how Utley plays. I want to see how Brown handles right-handed pitching on a regular basis. If they play like the Phillies expect, their lineup just got a whole lot better. The Phillies are in the perfect storm of slumps right now. They're missing two of their everyday players, and their other everyday players are in a deep funk. Ryan Howard is in the worst slump of his career (0-for-23). Placido Polanco is hitting .231 this month. Jimmy Rollins is hitting .233. Carlos Ruiz is hitting .211. We know about Ben Francisco's struggles, which is a big reason why Brown is here. We know Wilson Valdez and Pete Orr have not been productive offensively at second base. The .567 OPS for Phillies second basemen is 15th in the National League.
Raul Ibanez is the only hitter in the lineup hitting right now. He is hitting .344 this month.
You have to assume Howard, Polanco, Rollins and Ruiz turn things around, although Ruiz has struggled offensively the entire season. If Utley and Brown do their things they should be OK. But if things don't work out like the Phillies hope, realistically, they don't seem to have a lot of options. They basically only can improve in the corner outfield spots or second base, if Utley gets hurt again.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves. It's May 21. Tell me the last time a team made a blockbuster trade before June 1? If the Phillies make a move it's much more likely to happen closer to July 31. That is more than two months away. A lot can happen in two months.
Check out my Facebook page. Follow me on Twitter. Pick up a copy of my book.
Offensive Struggles Weighing On Phillies
I thought Jimmy Rollins had a telling comment following last night's 7-1 loss to the Rockies.
"Everybody knows what's going on," he said. "We're struggling to score runs. We're not getting a lot of hits. It's kind of weighing on everybody."
The Phillies have lost five of six games. They have not scored more than three runs in a game since last Friday. They have not had more than six hits in a game since last Friday. Charlie Manuel is beyond frustrated. He has four spots in his lineup that rank in the bottom half of baseball in production: catcher (26th in baseball with a .578 OPS), second base (25th with a .574 OPS), left field (17th with a .674 OPS) and right field (25th with a .693 OPS). Those are the 5, 6, 7 and 8 spots in the lineup. Combine them with Phillies pitchers and it has been nearly impossible to get rallies going once Ryan Howard hits.
But now figure in Shane Victorino's trip to the DL, Placido Polanco cooling off (he's hitting .230 in May), Rollins cooling off (he's hitting .184 in his last nine games) and Howard's 0-for-20 slump and it's even worse. Nobody is hitting, and there is no immediate solution. They simply have to hope the top of the order gets back on track, Chase Utley returns next week, Domonic Brown continues to hit to force a promotion and the 5, 6, 7, 8 hitters improve just enough to allow the Phillies some chances at extended rallies.
"We are still in first place, and that's the mentality you have to have," Rollins said. "That after all this, this bad stretch of injuries, we still have a chance to hold on and push some games up."
The Phillies have the best record in the National League, but to stay there they have to start hitting. No pressure.
Check out my Facebook page. Follow me on Twitter. Pick up a copy of my book.
Four Is the Magic Number
The Phillies have scored three or fewer runs in 21 of their 40 games this season, but what does that mean exactly?
Consider this:
- National League teams that score four or more runs in a game are 260-99 (.724).
- The Phillies are 17-2 (.895) when they score four or more runs, which is the best record in the league.
- National League teams that score three or fewer runs are 66-225 (.227).
- The Phillies, Pirates, Padres and Dodgers are the only four teams in the league to score three or fewer runs in the majority of their games. The Pirates (18-23), Padres (18-23) and Dodgers (19-23) have losing records.
The Phillies should thank their lucky stars for their pitching. They are 8-13 (.381) when they score three or fewer runs. An 8-13 record actually is pretty impressive, considering the league has a .227 winning percentage in those games. Only two teams have better records when the offense doesn't show up. The Giants are 9-13 (.409) and the Cardinals are 6-9 (.400).
The Phillies have the best record in the National League, but this is not a way to live. This is putting a lot of strain on the pitching staff, and it could spell disaster (i.e. a repeat of the 2010 NLCS) in the postseason. The Phillies need the offense to step up. They are counting on Chase Utley to help. He certainly should help, if he is healthy and can stay healthy, but that remains to be seen. If the Phillies do not get more production from their corner outfielders I think Domonic Brown has to come up sooner rather than later, if he continues to hit Triple-A pitching. In the meantime, it wouldn't hurt Charlie Manuel to play John Mayberry Jr. a little more, even against right-handed pitchers. I'm not saying Mayberry is a savior. He hasn't proven he can hit right-handed pitching consistently, but with Ben Francisco struggling (his RBI last night was his first since April 29) it wouldn't hurt to throw him in there once a week, would it?
Four runs.
Four runs and the Phillies are pratically unbeatable. They've got to find a way to make it happen.

Scoring Is Down, But Manuel Doesn't Want to Hear It
The Phillies need Chase Utley and Carlos Ruiz back in their lineup soon.
Ruiz is expected to be back this weekend in Atlanta. Utley could be back next week.
Entering tonight's game against the Marlins, Phillies second basemen ranked last in the National League with a .557 on-base-plus-slugging percentage. Phillies catchers ranked last with a .574 OPS. (Ruiz was hitless in 21 at-bats before he landed on the DL, but he hit .302 with a .400 on-base percentage last season.)
To put that in perspective, Houston Astros pitchers entered the night with a .593 OPS.
"We need our lineup to get better," Charlie Manuel said.
The Phillies rank fifth or better in OPS at first base (fifth at .864), third base (second at .826), shortstop (fourth at .749) and center field (third at .837). Pitchers rank eighth (.358), rightfielders rank ninth (.744) and leftfielders rank 13th (.694).
The Phillies have had very little happening offensively once Ryan Howard hits, although Raul Ibanez is picking up. He is hitting .467 (14-for-30) with four doubles, two home runs and five RBIs in his last eight games.
"We don't have the offense we used to have," Manuel said. "We don't have the depth in our offense right now. We get Utley back that's definitely going to help us some. But we do not have the offense we had. I've told you about the guys with the high on-base percentages. We used to lead the league in base runners, but we also used to lead the league in runs scored."
Manuel has heard in meetings and elsewhere that scoring is down everywhere.
Yeah, so?
"That don't mean we have to have that damn problem," Manuel said. "I say that in meetings all the time. That's like saying if somebody jumps off a bridge you're going to jump off with them. The hell with that. Really. That's kind of how I look at that. I want us to be the best team in baseball. I want to put the best players on the field. I want the best hitting, the best pitching, the best defense."

Cold Bats Are Everywhere
It sure felt like the Phillies struggled offensively in April.
At least they weren't alone. Elias Sports Bureau said overall batting average (.251) and average runs per game (8.6) were the lowest in Major League Baseball through the end of April in 19 seasons. Offense hasn't been this bad since 1992, when teams hit a combined .249 and averaged 8.2 runs per game.
The Phillies finished April hitting .261 and averaging 4.62 runs per game. It's the lowest they've hit in April since 2008, when they hit .258. (Yes, that's not that long ago.) It's their fewest runs per game through April since 2006, when they averaged 4.50 runs per game. The Phillies' .718 OPS through April is their lowest since 2005, when it was .698.
You would think those numbers put them at the bottom of the National League, but they don't. The Phillies rank seventh in batting average, fifth in runs per game and sixth in OPS. The Phillies need to be much better than they have been, but it's worse elsewhere. Of course, that's no consolation for Charlie Manuel. He wants more consistency from his offense. I'm not sure he wants to stomach another 14-game streak of scoring four or fewer runs, which he suffered through last month.
It would help if Chase Utley returns before the end of the month, but we'll see.
Elias also notes Roy Halladay has won each of his last seven starts against the Mets. Only four active pitchers have won their last seven (or more) starts against one team: Halladay also has an eight-game streak against Washington; Derek Lowe has won 10-straight starts against Pittsburgh; Livan Hernandez has won eight-straight games against Washington; and Bronson Arroyo has won seven-straight games against Houston.
"You don't want to send a negative message when you're winning, but at the same time I think our guys know what they're capable of hitting. I have an old saying that if you're not hitting .300, you need help." – Charlie Manuel
The Phillies need a lot of help.
They were shut out for the second time this season in last night's 4-0 loss to the Diamondbacks. Arizona took an early lead and I thought to myself, "I just don't see them coming back to win this game."
It was the third inning. Against Arizona. With Cliff Lee on the mound.
The Phillies have not scored five runs in a game since April 9, when they scored 10 against the Braves at Turner Field. That is 14 consecutive games scoring four or fewer runs.
No team in baseball has scored fewer runs since April 9. The Phillies are averaging 2.79 runs per game, which ranks 28th in baseball. Only the Padres (2.69 runs per game) and White Sox (2.67 runs per game) have averaged fewer, which is hardly comforting. The Padres might have the worst lineup I've seen since I started covering baseball. Nobody in the Padres lineup scares you. The Phillies' lineup has five former All-Stars, even without Chase Utley.
Only the White Sox (.197/.263) have a worse batting average than the Phillies (.200/.269) since April 9.
Nobody has a worse slugging percentage (.292) or OPS (.561).
But here's the thing: there are no quick fixes, no obvious solutions. The Phillies could play John Mayberry Jr. more in left field while Raul Ibanez struggles. Manuel said in Spring Training he could play Ross Gload more. Gload has started once. Manuel has defensive concerns about Gload, but maybe it's time to sacrifice defense for offense. Pete Orr has had some good at-bats at second base. Manuel could try playing him more, but Mayberry, Gload and Orr are not a magic pill for the offense.
What about changing the lineup? Fans have said Manuel needs to move Jimmy Rollins from the third spot because he has just two RBIs. OK, who hits third? Placido Polanco? OK, now what? Not a lot of options, is there? I'm not saying a lineup change is a bad idea. In fact, I'd give it a shot. But there are no moves smacking you in the face. If Ibanez weren't in a 0-for-21 slump I would say he should hit third. He hit very well there last season, but he's not hitting well now. Can't do that. Does Rollins hit leadoff if he's not hitting third? Second? Fifth? Seems like shuffling deck chairs.
What about a trade? The Phillies are over budget and close to the luxury tax threshold. They would have to shed salary to take on salary, and what team trades a stud bat in April? Nobody. If anything would happen it would happen much closer to the trade deadline. And even then I'm not sure a trade would happen.
The best solution seems to be the most obvious one, and the one that might take the longest time: Utley returns before the end of May and the rest of the offense figures out things on their own. In the meantime, they better hope the pitching continues to dominate.
Manuel is fired up about suggestions he overused Jose Contreras.

The Funk 2011
The Phillies have won 7 of their last 11 games, despite not scoring more than four runs in any of those games.
Thank goodness for the rotation.
The offense has scored just 32 runs (2.9 runs per game) since they scored 10 runs in Atlanta on April 9. They have hit just .203 with a .278 on-base percentage and a .296 slugging percentage in that span. They have eight doubles, one triple, eight home runs and 29 RBIs. They have walked 37 times and struck out 66 times.
It could be worse. The Phillies went 12 consecutive games last season without scoring more than three runs in a game. Remember that one? It is impossible to forget. In a horrific stretch May 22 – June 4, the Phillies got shut out five times and scored just 17 runs (1.4 runs per game). They hit just .197 with a .277 on-base percentage and a .274 slugging percentage. They walked 38 times and struck out 88 times.
They went 3-9.
Here are some more numbers from this 11-game stretch and the 12-game stretch last season.

It's Lee or Losing Streak
The Phillies put their "Four Aces" theory to the test this afternoon — the theory being they won't have many losing streaks — when Cliff Lee pitches against the Brewers. The Phillies must beat the Brewers today to avoid a sweep and a three-game losing streak.
Of course, it would make life easier on Lee with a little run support.
A few notes:
- The Phillies have scored 23 runs from April 10-19, which ranks last in the National League. They have hit .204 with a .269 on-base percentage and a .270 slugging percentage. Each of those marks ranks last in the league.
- They also have just 10 extra-base hits, which are the fewest in the league.
- Elias Sports Bureau says: The 9-0 loss tied the largest margin of defeat in a Roy Halladay start in 11 seasons. The Blue Jays lost to the Rangers, 11-2, on July 16, 2004. The only larger margin of defeat came April 15, 2000, when the Mariners beat the Blue Jays, 17-6.
- Paging Michael Stutes …
- The Phanatic has been named the best sports mascot in the country. You don't realize how good the Phanatic is until you travel the country and see how bad other mascots are.
- Did you know Shane Victorino has a book? It's called Shane Victorino: The Flyin' Hawaiian by Alan Maimon. Victorino said he will be signing books at the ballpark sometime in May. If I come across the date I'll let you know.

Cooler Weather, Cooler Bats
Charlie Manuel likes the summer because the summer is hot and hot weather is hitting weather.
The Phillies have played in mostly cool temperatures in the past week. Maybe that explains why they have hit just .226/.285/.313 in their past six games, averaging 3.3 runs per game. They hit .344/.392/.497 in their first eight games, averaging 7.0 runs per game. You knew the Phillies' offense wouldn't keep up the pace it set the first week of the season, but Manuel certainly hopes the last six games aren't more indicative of the way it will play this season.
But just like the offense has leveled off, so has the pitching staff. Phillies starters were 4-2 with a 5.53 ERA in their first eight games, but are 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA in their last six. The relievers were 2-0 with a 1.57 ERA in their first eight games, but are 1-1 with a 4.00 ERA in their last six.
Chase Utley continued his running drills before the game. Not that I'm counting, but when he ran last week in DC, he ran twice around the outside of the infield. He took three trips around the infield today. I guess that's progress?
The 700 Level has a good interview with Mike Schmidt. Check it out.

Wooden windows need periodic care in order to ensure they maintain their good looks, durability and proper function.
Cobus Lourens from Swartland has a few tips for homeowners on proper maintenance of wooden windows and doors:
What kind of finish do you have on your windows?
Lourens says there are three main types of finishes used to seal wood.
Varnishes: In the past, varnishes were commonly used in wet and humid coastal areas. The idea was to encapsulate the timber in a skin. However, if varnish is exposed to the sun, it becomes brittle and hard and this prevents it from moving with the substrate, causing the coating to tear and crack. Eventually, this will lead to water entering behind the skin – initiating pealing and flaking.
Removing and recoating wood that has been sealed with varnish is hard work. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to sand the entire window – simply close the window to see which parts are exposed to the outdoors, and sand down the coating on the exposed parts. You will find that in some parts, normal sanding won't remove all the varnish and you will need to use sugarsoap or paint-removers to remove it in these spots. Once all the varnish has been removed, you have to wash the residue off with water, and allow the wood to dry before re-coating. All other internal surfaces only need to be roughened slightly with sandpaper in order to give the new coating something to grab onto.
Sealants: Sealants offer an easy wipe down preparation for trouble-free maintenance and are basically an oilier, thinned-down, solvent-based varnish. Sealants are a better option for sealing wood as they are easier to apply and easier to maintain. They are durable as well – with a lifespan of anything from one year to five years on exposed surfaces.
When the coating dries out, all you need to do is to give the wooden window a slight sand, and in some cases, you can forego the sanding altogether and simply give it a wipe down with a cloth soaked in a mineral turpentine. Then, allow the surface to dry well before re-coating it in fresh sealant.
Oils: This is an old method of sealing wood. Inland regions used oils to nourish wooden windows and doors, however, oil as a sealant has a short lifespan and if it is not thinned down, build-up can occur, making the surface look tacky.
To remove and re-coat the wood, all the tacky bits have to be scraped off and the timber must be washed down with mineral turpentine and allowed to dry before you reseal the wood.
What is the best option to reseal your wooden windows and doors?
Lourens says that water-based coatings are the best option on the market for sealing wood as they are the easiest to maintain and apply.
He recommends using Maxicare water-based coatings as it offers the best protection, durability, and ease of maintenance currently on the market.
The benefits of the Maxicare water-based wood sealant are that it is eco-friendly, the coating offers increased flexibility and it has excellent durability - if the wash-and-wipe maintenance programme is followed, there have been reported cases where this sealant has lasted for up to nine years in the harsh conditions of the Arizona desert.
Lourens says the sealant is fast-drying, making it easy and quick to apply, it is lead-free, stain and water repellent. And it protects the wood against fungus and dry rot.
Treat your wood
Manufacturers recommend that you treat your wooden windows and doors annually, however, for our harsh South African climate Lourens recommends that you treat it just before the rainy season and again before the sunny season.
He says with the Maxicare Wash-and-Wipe maintenance programme, the maintenance is quick and easy to do, comprising of three steps that need to be followed twice a year.
Lourens notes that if the water-based sealant dries out after many years, a good wash and a light sanding will be more than enough preparation before re-sealing. Simply recoat the wooden surfaces with a brush and do your normal preventative Wash-and-Wipe maintenance as laid out above.

Home Life
My husband had very little time and I had to do all the bringing up, like most of the mothers of that particular time. . . . The fathers came home, tired at night, late. And then he had one day! And how much can he do for them, really?
Rose Bregman
The Jewish people, every one of them, the husbands help [the wife] with the cooking, the shopping. They do together, they do a lot of things. And then they eat a lot of times out. They don't cook much. . . . They got the woman to clean the house and they holler on me: "Why do you do that? Why don't you get somebody?
Donna Cassado
Everyday life for immigrant women consisted largely of drudgery and monotony. Still, the trivialities of everyday life tell a story of pain as well as of ennui, stories of happiness and hope amongst accounts of misery. What did the women talk about with their husbands?
[Nothing much] unless certain things came up I had to tell him. . . . I was always busy: washing the dishes or preparing things for the next day. And when the time came, we used to sit down and have a glass of tea together at night. ( Maxine Blank)
Home life for women differs in tone, but not so much in substance between the two cultures. Whether Jewish or Italian, women are in charge of drudgery. When asked what they do at night they tell us that they prepare work for the next day: iron the kids' clothes, clean up the kitchen while their husbands read the paper, listen to the radio, or go to sleep.
Yet amidst all this monotony there emerge certain themes: the husbands' lack of involvement in matters of household, the wives' readiness to "take charge

Blaming the poor
The Corn Laws of 1815 aimed to protect the interests of large landowners by restricting the import of foreign grain. As a result, food prices increased significantly and 'hard-working families' found they had less surplus income to pay their rent or to buy clothes and other manufactured goods. For the poorest families, more than half of their income could be spent on bread alone. This created a 'cost of living crisis' that stifled economic growth and caused unemployment to rise. Thousands of people were forced to turn to to their local parish for support. This meant either 'outdoor' relief (i.e. benefits)paid to them in their own homes, or 'indoor' relief – the workhouse.
In previous decades, the Old Poor Laws had made a clear distinction between the deserving and undeserving poor, with the latter often being whipped through the streets or placed in the stocks for public vilification. Responsibility for the poor fell upon England's 15,000 parishes, with guardians deciding who should receive support from local ratepayers. But as poverty increased after the introduction of the Corn Laws, there was rising public anger about the growing burden on the parish system and a royal commission was appointed in 1832. The commission was driven by a Malthusian belief that the state was encouraging a growing underclass to breed unchecked. The commission fiddled the statistics to show that the number of able-bodied men receiving relief was much higher than the actual figure. In fact, as now, the overwhelming majority of those seeking help were the elderly, disabled or children, but the commission recommended a new, centralised system of relief for the poor that was enshrined in the Poor Law Reform Act of 1834. This ended outdoor relief for able-bodied people and made the punitive regime of the workhouse a central feature of the system. Being sent to the workhouse was like being sent to prison, so only the most desperate chose to go there.
It was not until 1849 that the Corn Laws were fully repealed. Cheap American and Russian corn flooded into the country and food prices fell significantly. People had more money in their pockets, wages and employment rose and the economy prospered.
This long preamble is to make the point that much of the poverty that existed in the first half of the 19th century had been created by a deliberate act of government policy – the Corn Laws – that were designed to protect rich landowners. Yet it was the victims of this policy – the poor – who were attacked and demonised, rather than the policy itself.
Does this sound familiar? In my view, TV shows like Benefits Street and How to Get a Council House represent a return to this 19th century phenomenon of blaming and shaming the poor for being poor, rather than the system that created their poverty. These shows are often brilliant at highlighting the symptoms of poverty, and I do not believe they deliberately set out to demonise their subjects, but they rarely expose or explain the underlying causes of poverty, and this omission often produces a frenzy of schadenfreude among some viewers, who appear to take pleasure in the misery of others, blaming them for their predicament, rather than the system that created their poverty. Vile comments on social media, led by cheerleaders like Katie Hopkins, are the modern day equivalent of whipping the poor through the streets for being 'undeserving' (and top marks to those few housing folk who had the decency and courage to challenge some of these views on Twitter – we need more like them to come forward).
Our ongoing housing crisis is the 21st century equivalent of the Corn Laws. It underpins the 'cost of living crisis' and is a principal cause of the growing reliance upon benefits. Yet too many of us treat the housing crisis as if it is an act of nature, like the weather, rather than a man-made crisis. The failure of successive governments to invest in new homes and release enough land for housing has created artificially high house prices and rents, which consume an increasing chunk of people's incomes and prevent millions of them from living a decent life free from dependency upon benefits, just as the Corn Laws did in the 19th century. As with the Corn Laws, current housing policies are deeply regressive, because, in general, the lower your income, the more you will pay towards your housing costs. Our parliamentarians have caved in to the vested interests that want to preserve high house prices and rents, just as politicians in the first half of the 19th century caved in to the large landowners who wanted to keep the price of grain high.
So what's to be done? Those who opposed the Corn Laws – notably Richard Cobden and John Bright – got themselves elected to Parliament and travelled the country, spreading the message that protectionism was to blame for the many poor and that a repeal of the Corn Laws would reduce poverty and lead to an increase in trade and prosperity. Every argument under the sun was used to attack their views and they were denounced in the press as extremists, but after years of tireless campaigning their righteous indignation eventually succeeded in persuading the wider public of the sense and morality of their cause and the Corn Laws were repealed. In the long term, their prognosis was completely vindicated.
The history lesson of the Corn Laws is this: bad policies that do harm to large numbers of people can, by human effort, be undone in order to do less harm, but this cannot happen without relentless campaigning and activism. That means that all those involved in housing need to reach out to the widest possible audience, making alliances with anyone who will join the cause, to make the moral, social and financial case for a massive programme of housebuilding, as well as challenging the stigmatisation and prejudice that wraps itself around any discussion of social housing and benefits. Blaming the poor for creating their own predicament is not the answer.

GPs to vote on charging for appointments
GPs are to hold a vote on charging for appointments. The suggested fees of between £10 and £25 would be the first since the NHS was founded in 1948.
The proposal is to be debated at the British Medical Association's local medical committee conference in York on May 22. If the vote is passed, the BMA would then ask the Department of Health to consider imposing a national charging system.
Of 440 GPs polled in a survey in July 2013, 51% said they would support charging a small fee for GP appointments, compared with 36% who would not -
Please write to your GP and ask him/her to vote against the charges.

IDS's unwanted army of jobless memorial cleaners
Before David Cameron announced at the weekend that the long-term unemployed are to be set to work cleaning war memorials, it would have been a good idea for someone to ask the War Memorials Trust whether they wanted help from this particular source of unpaid labour. But the Trust did not even know the announcement was coming until it was all over the news.
The politics were tempting for the Tories. I am sure it would warm the heart of many a Tory to see the unemployed being made to work for benefits, helping to preserve our heritage when we mark the centenary of the Great War – but the complications could be more than officials bargained for.
"The War Memorials Trust could not engage with this programme as it does not commission any work," they say. "With an estimated 100,000 war memorials in the UK there are almost as many custodians, and for any war memorial to be cleaned the permission of the custodian should be established."
Okay, so suppose they have obtained individual permission from as many of the 100,000 custodians as they can – does the Trust think the idea is fundamentally sound?
"War memorials are an important part of our historic environment and shared cultural heritage," they say. "It is important that they are treated appropriately. The War Memorials Trust often deals with cases where inappropriate cleaning has been undertaken which has caused a significant amount of damage."
Another triumph for Iain Duncan Smith's Work and Pensions Department.

Reaction to the public sector pay awards
• Christina McAnea, Unison: "This coalition government has taken a scalpel to the pay body's report and won't escape the anger of NHS staff. It's a disgrace that 70% of nurses will not even get a pay rise this year."
• Frances O'Grady, TUC: "Ministers' message to Britain's young people is that they should not seek a career in health, education or other public services if they want a decent standard of living or to work for an employer who values them."
• Peter Carter, Royal College of Nursing: "What the NHS cannot afford to do is continue a policy of treating hardworking and loyal staff with contempt, at a time when morale is at an all-time low and trusts around the country struggle to retain and recruit enough nurses to maintain safe staffing levels."
• Rehana Azam, GMB: "GMB members across the country will take the blocking of a full 1% pay rise as a personal insult. GMB members will not stand aside whilst the government makes such direct attacks on their pay and conditions. GMB will immediately begin making arrangements to consult members who will be asked to vote in a consultative ballot to decide the next steps in this dispute."
• Rachael Maskell, Unite: "It is despicable that Hunt has adopted such an underhand tactic. ... We will be consulting with our members about the possibility of industrial action."
• Dave Prentis, Unison: "This wretched government has treated the NHS, our members and patients with contempt."

I have a meeting this week at the VHS for a contract position teaching English. Just wondering if anyone else has done this. Not sure if the contract hourly rate is set, or do I negotiate? My DH is German, so what taxes, etc. will be taken from my pay? Anything else I should know?
Also, has anyone tried organizing English group lessons for young children, from toddler up. I looked into one program, Helen Doron, but the training and materials was a bit of an investment (about 1000 euros), and they take a percentage of your income. And I don't know what they charge students for lessons. Anyone have any materials to reccomend? Any advice?
I had a random person at the library ask me if I'd tutor her toddler (about 3 y/o) and she is connected to several toddler playgroups. Just trying to figure out logistics, how I might make this work.

We believe your children are a special gift from God! We strive to be your partner in training them to be servants in His Kingdom. Our teachers will nurture and guide your children, providing many positive learning experiences during the school year.
Kindergarten is a year of incredible growth and development, both socially and academically. We work to maintain a balance of work and play, of individual and group activities. Children are challenged at their level of ability and given varied opportunities for play, which is an intellectually stimulating activity.
BCS provides its Kindergarten students with information and experiences which will lead them to realize that God knows and cares for them. Students learn that they are living in God's world. Children and teachers together form a classroom community as part of the body of Christ where children learn the value of serving by sharing, obeying, and working cooperatively in a secure and loving Christian environment.
In addition to the regular academic curriculum, Kindergarten students participate in art, computer, physical education and music class each week.
The class meets Monday through Thursday, from 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. with optional Enrichment Days on Fridays.

Vehicle-to-vehicle communications are a fundamental pillar of autonomous, self-driving cars. Once vehicles can exchange data with each other and the greater driving infrastructure, they'll be able to "see" and adapt to driving obstacles more completely, preventing accidents and delivering more efficient driving. Mercedes plans to be the first automaker to bring a Car-to-X vehicle-to-vehicle communications system to market.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
General DescriptionBombus melanopygus belongs to the diverse subgenus Pyrobombus Dalla Torre which is characterized by a malar space of medium length but longer than its apical width and antennal flagellum 2.5 to 3x the length of the scape. The penis valves of the males are usually hook shaped (Thorp et al., 1983). Bombus melanopygus has a large body densely covered in long, fine pile (Franklin 1912). Abdominal segment 1 is yellow, segments 2 and 3 are red or orange, and the remaining segments (4-6) are black. The anterior scutum and the vertex of head and face are covered in a mixture of black and yellow pile and appear clouded (Thorp et al. 1983; Curry 1984). Males tend to have less black pile on the face and the third antennal segment is shorter than the fifth but longer than the fourth (Franklin 1912). Body size and wingspan varies between castes: queens are 15 to 18 mm with wingspans of 29 to 36 mm, workers range between 11 to 15 mm with wingspans of 25 to 29 mm, and males are 9 to 13 mm with wingspans of 21 to 26 mm. Wings are darkly stained brown (Franklin 1912). The penis valve is rounded at the apex with a sharp angle at middle of apical curvature. The gonostylus is short and sternite 8 is uniformly thick (Thorp et al. 1983).

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Democratic leaders are asking for a delay in certifying the August primary results after reports that voting machines defaulted to the Republican primary ballot.
A letter was sent to Secretary of State Tre Hargett on Wednesday by Senate Democratic Leader Jim Kyle, Senate Caucus Chair Lowe Finney, House Democratic Leader Craig Fitzhugh and House Caucus Chair Mike Turner.
The letter stated "voting apparatus should never default to one party or another" and called for a full investigation.
An analysis of August turnout showed a 27 percent increase in Democratic turnout, compared with a 350 percent increase in Republican turnout.
Concerning the spike, the letter said: "Frankly, it doesn't even pass the laugh test."

Just to understand sports team ownership:
1. Billionaires don't buy teams for fortune, they buy teams for fame. Would anyone know who George Steinbrenner is if he did NOT own a high profile team like the Yankees?
2. Billionaires don't buy team s for current income, or cash flow. They don't have to. But they do buy teams for the inevitable capital gains that comes when they sell the team, since professional sports is exempt from the anti-trust legislation, and it is a market of many potential buyers with limited supply.These long term capital gains are taxed at a much lower marginal tax rate than is current income, for federal,state, and city income
3. Billionaires also buy other
high profile enterprises - also for fame, and not for fortune. Would anyone know who Mort Zuckerman is if he did not own US News, and the NY Daily News ? How about Sam Zell?
4. The billionaires' club of
sports league is very secure business. It is supported by the media masters,because it gives them a constant stream of regular content. It is supported by the elected politicians, since it fits the
need of " bread and circuses "
necessary to keep the population content, especially the same popululation of "undecided voters " most likely to make the pivotal difference in elections. The politicians also fall all over
themselves to inject themselves into sports controversies, because their real stock in trade is name recognition, and the best way for them to increase their name recognition is to become associated with high profile public controversies.
5. The above points also imply that professional sports will continue to remain above the law,and will enjoy the same anti-trust exemption that is extended to the media masters.

text: Maryjane is an activist, artist, poet, and documentarian. In the 1960's and 1970's, Maryjane lived in the cottage, now owned by Orson Bean and Alley Mills. Formerly redlined and protected from investment, low income residents such as Maryjane could live along the canals for as little as $75 a month. In its heyday, the strong knit community was home to artists, poets, and a convergence of hippies. The spirit of the locals was embodied during the Venice Canal Festival through handcrafted floats, artist showcases, and musical performances. Over time the redline was lifted, and banks began providing funding for investment of the canals, forcing residents like Maryjane onto the streets.

Allison Grodner (Executive Producer) was interviewed this morning on the John Jay & Rich Show and spilled a few interesting tidbits. You can listen to the full interview here.
Here's a rundown of the more interesting stuff from the interview.
– Allison Grodner says that there were alot of interesting people in the house for media day who work in television, print, internet media, etc. "Some fun people, really interesting." She says that the footage will be released shortly. This means we should be seeing the new house soon.
– The entire cast has been chosen. "Everyone is in. We've got a cast, we've got the twist, the new house. It's exciting."
– More on the twist: "I can tell you that this season is different. The twist this season is unique, as always. It is incredibly relatable. I think everyone will be able to identify with this twist. That is all I can tell you. There's also something else happening on premiere night that's unprecedented that will be alot of fun. You're going to hear more and more about this as we approach the premiere date." Allison says that she can't release any information about the twist until the cast is in sequester, but as soon as they're under lock and key, all the information will be revealed.
– More on the house: "The house is gorgeous. It's a modern house this season, and we're going green. Eco-friendly." (Eh… I'm not so sure about this, LoL)
– Julie Chen will be hosting all season, despite her pregnancy. Allison jokes that Chenbot's baby will be the surprise 14th houseguest. (Interesting that she mentions 14 houseguests since we've been told there will only be 12…)
We're talkin' about this here: HERE!
Kudos to Kenny!
