Feeder Clamp with Conical filament driver
by fns720, published
Thing Info
I printed pit3k's bowden clamp and I experienced some difficulties to pass the filament through the riser. I made a subtle change on the riser hole which guides the filament through on the nut part. Now the nut has a conical hole and just 5 mm before the top it extends to fit the tightening ring into it.
I also made a countersink on the bottom on the riser after the print by using a countersink tool (I tried to create this countersink directly in the model but it fails to print on a heated bed, even when raft was switched on).
I also recommend to do another countersink on you bowden tube too.
Finally, I printed chopmeister's great H3 feeder unit and tried to install this bowden clamp in it. It was OK, except that the riser was a bit loose so I made a small tightening nut too to fix this.
Modified OpenSCAD source attached.
To explain what I did I made a simple drawing - check the picture.
I printed it with 0.1mm layer height, 100% infill.
Update #20130329: the hole for the bowden tube on the top was too short and also the thread was not long enough if you wanted to use the tightening nut. I extended the thread by 5 extra millimeters and created a new STL (Feeder Clamp 5mm longer thread) and also increased the size of the bowden tube hole by a little in both Feeder Clamp STL files.

Please, give me link to the model of the extruder in the picture.
Thank you!
Good Idea.
The only thing is: In the cross section view this looks darn thin at the bottom of the big cut cone and thus prone to break there if screwed on to hard. You could maybe intersect the cone with a cylinder.
Btw for a quick cross section just cut away a cube in the scad model.
I printed 2-3 drivers but they does not seem too weak at that point. If mine breaks I promise I'll update :)

Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Equus than the Lexus LS 460, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Hyundai Equus will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus LS 460.
The Lexus LS 460 will require fewer stops at the gas station than the Hyundai Equus, making it more convenient to drive.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Lexus LS 460 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Equus, which has a much lower MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Lexus LS 460 and the Hyundai Equus have similar Destination Charges.
The Lexus LS 460 is about the same width as the Hyundai Equus. When looking at overall length, the Lexus LS 460 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Hyundai Equus.
With similar torque, the Lexus LS 460 and the Hyundai Equus do an equal job of transmitting their engine's power to their wheels.
The Lexus LS 460 has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Hyundai Equus, allowing much better maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
The Lexus LS 460 has less horsepower than the Hyundai Equus, so it will probably be somewhat slower.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Lexus LS 460 and the Hyundai Equus. The Lexus LS 460 has a roomier cargo area for holding your bags or other items than the Hyundai Equus.
The basic warranty of the Lexus LS 460 is not as nearly as extensive as that of the Hyundai Equus.

I hosted Steven and his friend for 4 days. One of these days they stayed at Chian which was on the another listing on airbnb. I feel I hosted them much longer than 4 days. Because we did a lot of things together such as ... they came to my music live, jaming music and singing together, going hiking in a nature, meeting up again in Osaka after they checked out and so on. 4 day was not enough. I wanted to spend more time with them. I'm waiting for them coming back to Kyoto in the near future. I wish I could visit their countries to see them. They are such nice people. I was sooooooooooooo lucky to have hosted them.

201st BfSB's food drive makes a difference
October 24, 2011
GIG HARBOR, Wash. --A man approached a boy who was throwing starfish into the ocean on a beach. He told the boy his efforts were useless because there were too many starfish to save, and that he couldn't make a significant difference.
The boy returned another starfish to it's home and replied, "I made a difference to that one."
That is the tale of an inspirational story titled "The Star Thrower" written by Poet Loren Eisley. It was part of the motivation behind the 201st Battlefield Surveillance Brigade's food drive.
"That's why I feel like even the small donations, the small acts of kindness, the small differences that are made, build to something greater than ourselves," said Maj. Steven J. Kurczak the brigade fire support officer for Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 201st BfSB, after recalling the story of the starfish, which he provided to the Soldiers at the start of the event.
The 201st BfSB from Joint Base Lewis-McChord delivered more than 850 items at the Fish Food Bank in Gig Harbor on 22 Oct., after a weeklong food drive.
"It's wonderful to make a difference in people's lives. There are probably a lot of people out there who didn't expect to be in a predicament where they cannot feed their family, so a food drive is definitely going to help," said Capt. Jose J. Ramos, assistant brigade fire support officer for HHC, 201st BfSB. "I think what gives purpose to life are the contributions that we make to the community,"
The event supported "Make a Difference Day," the national day of doing good, which encourages Americans to come together and inspire a positive worldly change.
"The community does a lot for us, they support us at war and training with their time and care packages, they are our family when we aren't near our own," said Kurczak. "I think we are giving to the community everyday as Soldiers, but we should still do extra for the people that need it the most. In that way the cycle of kindness comes full-circle."
Soldiers of the 201st BfSB volunteer often in Gig Harbor, their community partner, and they've built a strong relationship of thoughtfulness and support, Kurczak added.
Donations were not limited to food; they also included hygiene products, movies, clothes and more. Bill P. Curnow, a volunteer at the Fish Food Bank in Gig Harbor, gratefully accepted the donations.
"I'm supporting the Army and to have them do something for us knowing that they have more important things to worry about is very nice," said Cornow. "We really appreciate it, every bit counts."
The food bank feeds 20 families a day on average, and they've been experiencing an increase with the difficult economy, he added.
"One person's donation can feed about one family, so I think we've fed a few families today, and it feels pretty good," said Ramos.

Make your own mind up when the show premieres on June 29
The reviews for David Lindelof's The Leftovers - which depicts a world in recovery after the disappearance of 2% of its population - are in. And the critics are feeling positive, if not a little confused, by the first few episodes.
Justin Theroux in The Leftovers
"The Sudden Departure" as it has become known in Lindelof's universe, adapted from the novel of the same name by Tom Perrotta, leaves the residents of Mapletown in relative disarray. And while some claim it was the hand of God – The Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16, when the "dead in Christ" and "we who are alive and remain" will be "caught up in the clouds" to meet "the Lord in the air") the characters in this new HBO drama are just as lost as each other – faith or not faith.

"Many will hate it," suggests Hitfix's Alan Sepinwall. "But there will be viewers in whom it strikes a chord so deeply that they will feel themselves overwhelmed by it in the best possible way: not like they're drowning in the misery, but like it's teaching them a new way to breathe."
Time's James Poniewozik says, in his review: "Even the best version of The Leftovers, if it proves a complete creative success, will not be a show for everyone. Yet it believes fervently, messily, heartbreakingly, that even two percent of everyone means more than you can imagine."
Tim Goodman believes this new HBO drama has the potential: "If Lindelof and Perrotta can somehow strike a balance of the human, emotional fallout while also delving into an explanation of the oddities involved in "the sudden departure," then The Leftovers could be one of the more riveting new series.
And finally, while not totally convinced, New York Magazine's Matt Zoller says: "The first few episodes don't showcase enough artistry to justify all the slogging and weeping, the bloodied faces and broken hearts. But I'd be lying if I said The Leftovers didn't fascinate me."
The Leftovers, starring Justin Theroux, Amy Brenneman and Paterson Joseph premieres on HBO on June 29, 2014.

6 Steps Towards Financial Aid at Private Universities
Paying for college is not easy. To help out high school graduates and their families, there are many different sources of financial aid to help pay for private universities. Here's what every incoming college student and their family needs to know about the financial aid process for private universities.


text:
One of the staples of liberal hand-wringing is a need for "affordable housing." Last year, the standard liberal solution -- more government spending -- was proposed in a televised speech at the National Press Club in Washington, in a report billed as a "new vision."
This year, supply and demand made front-page news in the New York Times of November 29th: "Apartment Glut Forces Owners to Cut Rents in Much of U.S." As apartment vacancy rates reached an all-time high of 10 percent nationwide, landlords have been cutting rents, both directly and by such gimmicks as giving gift certificates and allowing so many rent-free months for new tenants.
Buried deep inside the second section of the newspaper are facts that completely undermine the liberal notion that high housing costs are a "national crisis" calling for a "national solution" by the federal government.
Far from being a national crisis of affordable housing, outrageous rents and astronomical home prices are largely confined to a relatively few places along the east and west coasts. Rent per square foot of apartment space in San Francisco is more than double what it is in Denver, Dallas, or Kansas City, and nearly three times as high as in Memphis. Home prices show even greater disparities.
The Times story notes that the difference between apartment rents in coastal California and those in the rest of the country is widening. It also refers to cities "where land is abundant but building regulations are not," where "housing costs were already among the least expensive of the country's urban areas."
Wait a minute. Vacant land is at least as abundant in coastal California as in places with far lower rents and home prices. More than half the land in huge San Mateo County, adjacent to San Francisco, is vacant and is kept that way by law.
The difference is not in the land but in the politics. The long-time dominance of liberal Democrats from San Francisco to Silicon Valley has meant that restrictions on land use have proliferated and the costs of building anything have skyrocketed as a result of environmental red tape, bureaucratic delays, and legal harassment by activists of various sorts.
The New York Times story refers gingerly to "many cities on the coasts, where new construction is more difficult" than in the rest of the country. To put it more bluntly, liberals have driven housing prices sky high by forbidding, restricting, and harassing the building of housing.
In turn, this has meant driving people of modest incomes out of the communities where they work. Nurses, teachers and policemen, for example, typically live far away from places like San Francisco or Silicon Valley, and have to commute long distances to and from work.

2014 WSOP Event #59 $3,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or BetterJuly 3, 2014 - 4:46am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
One more Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better event finished early Thursday morning. This one had a $3,000 buy-in and gathered 457 entrants to do battle for some cash and most especially a piece of WSOP gold. A $1,247,610 prize pool awaited the top 54 finishers with the winner schedule to receive $286,976 in cash and a year's worth of bragging rights.
Among the notables was a familiar poker pro and the 2004 Main Event runner-up, David Williams, cashing out in 6th place. Additional poker pros making the cash out line was Brandon Shack-Harris, James van Alstyne, Chino Rheem and Justin Bonomo.
Event #59 finally came to a conclusion a few minutes after 2 AM when Zack Milchman had all his remaining chips in the pot and couldn't beat Phillip Hui's pair of Tens. Milchman of Delray Beach, Florida collected $177,609 for second place.
Phillip Hui received $286,076 in cash is now the owner of a 2014 WSOP champions gold bracelet which he will proudly show to all his family and friends back home in San Antonio, Texas.
2014 WSOP Event #58 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Mixed MaxJuly 3, 2014 - 2:24am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Those wondering about the format of this tournament have faith, it's easily explained. The event is a No-Limit Hold'em and the part that makes it unique from all other No-Limit Hold'em tournament is the maximum number of players at each table.
Day 1 began with nine players at each table then on Day 2 the tables go to six players and on the final Day 3 the tables are four-handed until down to the last four at which point the match becomes a heads-up event. This is the same format as an earlier $25,000 buy-in Event #2 won by Vanessa Selbst The Mix Max format was introduced during the 2013 WSOP.
The final heads-up match occurred between Jared Jaffee and Mike Watson. Watson had to battle his way from behind when he played the semi-final match against Mark Herm and prevailed after coming desperately close to elimination. But, this second match with Jared Jaffee sitting across the felt didn't include another miracle come-from-behind save.
The two traded the chip lead back and forth but eventually Jaffee pulled ahead. The final hand saw Watson with pocket Jacks to Jaffee's Ace - 6 of clubs. The board gave Jaffee the winning 8 high straight to trump Watson's Jacks and he alone stood atop the field of 1,475 starters. Winner Jared Jaffee collected $405,428 from the $1,991,250 prize pool and his first WSOP gold bracelet.
2014 WSOP Event #56 $1,000 No-Limit Hold'emJuly 2, 2014 - 11:19am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
We have pointed out the popularity of No-Limit Hold'em poker many times while covering the 2014 World Series of Poker. If you offer the "Cadillac" of tournament poker games it doesn't matter a great deal how much or little the buy-in they will come and stand in line with their seat money in their hands. Having just witnessed a $1 million buy-in event that pulled in 42 players we now move to a $1 thousand buy-in that sold 2,525 seats.
These lower buy-in tournaments typically break the money bubble on Day 1 and event #56 was no exception having reached the 270 players scheduled to be paid from the $2,272,500 prize pool in the day's final level.
The additive allure of WSOP gold bracelets seeds the list of entrants with well known pros players seeking the gold. With the large fields even the lowest rung of buy-ins creates huge prize pools and again, event #56 was no exception offering the winner $403,482 in cash. It may not be the $15 million up for grabs in The Big One for One Drop but it will certainly help to pay the bills and pad the play bank.
Today's poker player to cash in the $1,000 poker jackpot and walk away with a WSOP gold bracelet and $403,483 in cash was Mike Kachan of Edina, MN. He defeated Jeff Blenkarn heads-up in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Blenkarn will be sitting on $250,815 as he makes his way back home to Rockford, MI.
Come on down to the Rio in Las Vegas, we're keeping your WSOP seat warm for you.
2014 WSOP Event #57 $1,000,000 The Big One for One DropJuly 2, 2014 - 2:16am
by Joseph C. Smith Sr.
A poker tournament with a prize pool totaling $37,333,338. And that's after $111,111 from each of the 42 entrants $1 million buy-in which totals $4,666,662 is set aside for the One Drop Foundation. Arithmetically inclined readers will be quick to note when you add the prize pool and the One Drop donation you get exactly $42 million. So how much goes to the house? None! Harrah's WSOP is not taking any of the money.
This 3 Day event offered plenty of exciting and often humorous moments. Amazing how at this level of poker the players can be so casual about anything considering the amount of money at stake. The top eight finishers received at least $1,306,667 in cash. Even after deducting the original $1 million buy-in some serious money remains.
Day 3 saw the field of 42 cut to just 2 players with chips. A 23-year-old Daniel Colman from Holden, MA faced 5 WSOP bracelet veteran Daniel Negreanu. Going into the heads-up play Colman held the chip lead with 68 and a half million to Negreanu's 57 and a half million. Five hands later Negreanu had the chip lead with 73 and a half million to Colman's 52 and a half million. Nrgreanu continued to stretch his lead and was holding a 2 to 1 advantage then the momentum reversed and quickly colman was ahead.
Negreanu pulled ahead one more time then Colman pulled ahead and continue to pad his lead. He never looked back after that and finally Negreanu shoved his remaining chips into the pot holding Ace-4o and was called and covered by Colman tableing a K-Qo. The flop showed J-A-4 giving Negreanu two pair and the lead and Colman needing a 10 for a straight. The turn was a 10 giving Colman the lead and a straight and leaving Negreanu in desperate need of an Ace or 4. The river was a 7 and Colman was the owner of a very special WSOP bracelet and $15,306.668 in cash. He's also in the poker history book as the winner of the second largest cash prize in a poker tournament.
Daniel Negreanu received $8,288,001 for second.
WSOP Branding Machine - Part Two : Changing of the GuardJuly 1, 2014 - 1:36pm
By Wendeen H. Eolis
Until moments after the 2009 WSOP final table proceedings in the fall, Jeffrey Pollack was the public face of the WSOP. And then, suddenly, he announced his resignation and rushed off to take interviews that controlled the immediate spin on his departure. He said he was ready to survey opportunities in new pastures and pleased to have contributed to the growth of the WSOP brand.
Despite the happy state of affairs effectuated by the Pollack-Stewart collaboration, the collegiality between the two men had begun to wane at least a year earlier. A corporate reorganization of CIE was also afoot. Although Pollack had recommended a strong initiative in the online gaming market, and sought to add this responsibility to his portfolio, Caesars Entertainment CEO Gary Loveman was zooming in on Mitch Garber, the recently departed CEO of Party Gaming, to lead such an effort.

Pollack's unveiled opposition to Garber as his potential boss made for an awkward situation once Garber was plainly in line to take the reins of CIE (initially Harrahs Interactive Entertainment), including Pollack's most treasured domain, the WSOP.
In the spring of 2009, Garber became CEO of CIE. With Garber's blessings, Pollack assumed the title of President of CIE, briefly. But, Garber was running the show and relying on others as he built his team. In the fall of 2009, Pollack resigned. Garber tapped Stewart as his replacement.

2014 WSOP Event #51 $1.5K No-Limit Hold'em Monster StackJuly 1, 2014 - 3:13am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
When was the last time the final two heads-up players had chip counts of 80,200,000 and 37,550,000? How about in a $1,500 buy-in event? This is exactly the situation in event #51 of the 2014 World Series of Poker happening now at the Rio Resort in Las Vegas.
It's the $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack that pulled in 7,862 entrants and created a prize pool of $10,613,700 paid to the top 792 finishers. The winner receiving an incredible $1,327,083 for their $1,500 investment plus one of the WSOP gold bracelets.
The wild success of this format is certain to not only be repeated in coming years but will likely be expanded to more than one event. Each of the starters receive 15,000 in play money and then attempt to survive the three days of play and become the latest WSOP millionaire.
When the dealing was done Hugo Pingray held every one of the 117,750,000 tournament chips in play. He also laid claim to the winner's pile of cash totaling $1,327,083 and his first WSOP gold bracelet. Pingray will also have an interesting story to tell his fellow travelers as he wings it home to Switzerland.
Joseph McKeehen collected $820,863 for second place.
2014 WSOP Event #55 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'emJuly 1, 2014 - 2:18am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Event #55 of the 2014 World Series of Poker at the Rio in Las Vegas was another of the player and crowd pleaser. A $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em match that always attracts quite a crowd and this one was no exception. Day 1 saw 2,396 entrants take a seat for the scheduled three day event. Offering a prize pool of $3,234,600 paid to the top 243 finishers.
A purse share totaling $582,321 was held for the winner along with a new WSOP gold bracelet. As is typical of these events most of the field was on the rail at the end of Day 1 leaving just 268 players with chips to return on Day 2 and continue the journey to poker stardom.
When the final table was reached on Day 3 David Jackson had a commanding chip lead with 4,950,000
while the next closest stack was just under a million and held by Aaron Massey. Jackson finally hit the rail in 4th place while Massey went out in the 3rd spot.
Heads-up play between Asi Moshe and Michael Ferrer began with Ferrer holding a slight chip lead. It only required 7 hands into the heads-up play before Asi Moshe had all of the chips, $582,321 in cash and his first WSOP gold bracelet which he can admire on his return trip home to Tel Aviv, Israel.
Michael Ferrer had to settle for $361,207 in cash for his runner-up finish.
2014 WSOP Event #54 $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or BetterJune 30, 2014 - 12:42pm
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Buy a seat in WSOP event #54 for $3,000 and spend three days at risk of mental overload trying to figure out all the intricacies of Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better. Omaha is noted for it's wild action that can produce constant swings in chip stacks. Watching these tournaments always appeals to the fans and favorite.
When the shuffle up and deal command came and the cards went into the air there were 474 starters hoping for WSOP gold and some of the cash from the $1,294,020 prize pool. The top 54 finisher received cash but only one experienced the thrill of claiming a WSOP gold bracelet and joining poker's most exclusive club.
The player atop it all was German player, Florian Langmann, claiming his first WSOP victory and gold bracelet. He also collects $297,650 after sending second place finisher, Zack Freeman, to the cashier cage to collect his $184,216.

2014 WSOP Event #53 $10,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold'em ChampionshipJune 29, 2014 - 8:10pm
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Finally, one of my favorites events. When the ladies all gather around the tables and play serious poker. This year's event drew 793 ladies to the No-Limit Ladies Championship, down about 17% from last years 954 entrants. A prize pool of $713,700 distributed among the top 81 finishers with the winner receiving $153,470 in cash and a special WSOP gold bracelet.
Probably some of the readers are saying, "Hey, wait a minute. Just how much juice is the house keeping if the prize pool for a $10,000 buy-in event with 793 paid admissions is only $713,700?" That's a legitimate question that can be easily answered by a little bit of politically correct sleigh of hand. To keep this ladies event stocked with only ladies and none of those rowdy males the WSOP had to resort to creating a situation that didn't appeal to the boys. All Ladies entering that are indeed ladies receive a discount of 90% on their buy-in while male entrants much pay full price. Clever, huh?
Once the heads-up stage was reached between Mikiyo Aoki and Haixia Zang it only took eleven hands to have our ladies champion for the 2014 World series of Poker. Haixia Zang of Los Gatos, California stood alone above the field holding all the chips and claiming her WSOP gold bracelet and the $153,470 belonging to the champion.
Mikiyo Aoki fought the good fight but came up one position short finishing in second place so heads home to Bozeman, Montana with her $94,800 in prize money.

Starting about 3 weeks ago, I have been having pain in my right hip/butt/low back area. The pain never goes any higher than my sacrum (which is where the dimples above your butt would be). It's usually a dull and achy feeling but every now and then, especially after laying around a lot, I'll get spasms anytime I put weight on the leg. It also worsens when I walk.
I've gone to an orthopedic doctor and he cracked my back, which only made my entire back sore the next day. I'm currently seeing a physical therapist who thinks I have bursitis in my hip and buttock. The problem is that I was told that movement should b helpful but it worsens it. I went on a camping/road trip with my husband an friends this weekend and I've been bed-bound all day due to back spasms. I'm not supposed to sit around too much but I can't pick up things, I can't bend over, I can't turn quickly without bringing on the pain. I take stairs one at a time like a young child or old lady. I'm sick of hurting!
I have a midwife appointment tomorrow and I'll ask for pain relief methods besides a heating pad because it's a very temporary relief from the soreness but not the spasms. Has anyone else struggled with anything like this? Any suggestions?

The massacre of nine black churchgoers in Charleston and a rash of arson at other black churches across the South show that despite conservative self-serving claims – and liberal wishful thinking – about racism becoming a thing of the past, much more work needs to be done, says Lawrence Davidson.
Tag Archive for Jim Crow
How a Classic Movie Fueled US Racism
A century ago, there was a surge in lynching and other white racist violence against blacks across the American South, combined with a burst in Confederate pride, actions and attitudes fueled by the widely proclaimed movie, "The Birth of a Nation," as William Loren Katz recalls.
Is Arlington County, VA, Racist?
Exclusive: Many Southerners get outraged at the suggestion that racism persists these days, but residues of segregation continue in laws discouraging black voting and in the casual neglect of minority communities, even in places like Arlington, Virginia, writes Robert Parry.
Tea Party and Thomas Jefferson
Special Report: Black History Month celebrates talented African-Americans, but it also should be a time to reflect on distorted white history that has ignored damage inflicted by racist ideologues, like how Thomas Jefferson's hypocrisies helped give us the Civil War and the Tea Party, writes Robert Parry.
The White Man's Last Tantrum?
Exclusive: With the U.S. government shutdown and a threatened credit default, Tea Party Republicans are testing out a new system of national governance in which they get their way – or else. But is this the beginning of a new Jim Crow era of imposed white supremacy or just the white man's last tantrum, asks Robert Parry.
WPost's Cohen Fears the Hoodie
Exclusive: After George Zimmerman was acquitted for murdering Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, many Americans reacted with disgust. But others, like columnist Richard Cohen, blamed the slaying on a white person's understandable fear of young black males, reports Robert Parry.
Bringing Back Jim Crow
Exclusive: Many U.S. historians have soft spots for Thomas Jefferson, despite his gross hypocrisy on slavery, and for the Confederates and their supposed gallantry in their fight to preserve slavery. But apologizing for historical racists only invites more racism, warns Robert Parry.

LOS ANGELES -- Redshirt junior guard Xavier Su'a-Filo, long considered to be the Bruins' best offensive lineman, has announced that he will forego his redshirt senior season and declare for the 2014 NFL Draft.
The first of two key UCLA underclassmen set to make NFL decisions, Su'a-Filo will likely be UCLA's highest drafted linemen since Outland Trophy winner Kris Farris, who was a third-round pick in 1999. Jeff Baca was the last UCLA lineman drafted -- in the sixth round last season.
This season, Su'a-Filo played mostly out of position at left tackle, forced to shift over from guard after tackles Torian White and Simon Goines suffered season-ending injuries. Even out of position, the 6-3, 330-pound Utah native was still named to the All-Pac-12 first team and also won the Morris Trophy, given to the conference's best lineman, as voted on by his opposition. He'll likely play guard at the next level, but his versatility should be a selling point to NFL teams looking to draft him in the first three rounds.
After taking a two-year Mormon mission following his freshman season, Su'a-Filo, 23, was also one of the oldest players on UCLA's roster, making his decision to declare an unsurprising one. Even he admitted that the decision was "suspected" by most.
You probably suspected it but I have decided to forego my senior year & make myself available for the 2014 NFL Draft pic.twitter.com/r7uGpN5e8X— Xavier Su'a-Filo (@XMANEE56) January 4, 2014
Su'a-Filo is expected to go anywhere from the second round to the fourth round in May's draft.
And without him, UCLA will have a huge hole to fill on the offensive line, with freshman Scott Quessenberry likely to fill his vacated spot at left guard and Torian White expected to slot in at left tackle, assuming he returns.

Hey, I'm Ashley!
I'm a New Zealander, who absolutely loves to travel. I'm 45 quiet, considerate, tidy, a non-smoker and I fit in easily with any household. I'm a writer, and I live in the beautiful Bay of Plenty in the middle of NZ's North Island.
I've had a great time using AirBnB and staying with hosts from Edinburgh to Boston, New York to DC. Getting to know my hosts is usually a highlight of any trip - after all, one of the major points of travelling is to meet the locals and see how they live and find out what they like about their city and region. Local knowledge is fun and leads to a better holiday - staying in hotels is boring...
Check out my reviews and you'll see that I make a pretty cool guest :)
My motto is that life is short, so I try to enjoy it, and to smile a lot. I'm into yoga, fitness, vegan food, music, reading and visiting as many countries as I can.

How did you first hear about Common Sense Media?
Submitted by johnwilliams on
Jump to navigation
Parents need to know that this is one of the juiciest and most non-kid-friendly places for celebrity gossip. Perez hones in on Hollywood's most notorious celebs, so there are many references to drinking, drug use, sex, and physical appearance. Posts are irreverent, very tongue-in-cheek, and often cruel, and language in both the posts and the comments isn't safe for kids (many appearances of "f--k" and "s--t"). Comments can also turn into a free-for-all of ethnic, religious, and racial slurs (most recently, a post about Madonna's visit to Israel sparked an outburst of anti-Semitism). Uncensored versions of celebrity photos show breasts and underwearless crotches. The site has a healthy amount of advertising, including some for alcohol, dating sites, and sex toys.
Pink-haired PerezHilton.com founder Mario Lavandeira calls himself the "Internet's most devilish gossip columnist." He's famous for his trademark white pen, used to embellish photos on his site with things like drug residue under nostrils, and unflattering appendages. He's also developed a reputation for "outing" celebrities on his site, and being unapologetically fickle. Perez recently set a traffic record with 8.82 million page views in 24 hours, and his TV show What Perez Sez (definitely safer for kids than the Web site) on VH1 was already popular after week one.
Celebrity gossip is a guilty pleasure, but Perez isn't covering it in a way that's appropriate for kids.
Families can talk about why celebrity gossip is so appealing. PerezHilton.com covers many celebrity lawsuits. Why do so many celebrities seem to be constantly at odds with the law? Also, for someone who earns a living making fun of celebrities, Perez Hilton seems to go out of his way to be photographed with them. Is he trying very hard to be a celebrity himself? How has the blogosphere changed the way we view celebrities and the news in general?

The Attic BackpackersAuckland, New Zealand
Nomads Capital BackpackersWellington, New Zealand
Really good location near i-site and Cuba street. Small free small dinner in bar which is nice. Stayed in hostels all over NZ and this hostel has the squeakiest beds, horrible at night as impossible for people to get it and out of top bunk without waking whole room. Also the attached bar is very loud so ask for a room on 2nd or 3rd floor. Would stay again though.
Fish Tank LodgeKaikoura, New Zealand
Nicely painted rooms. Could do with more tv channels or more than the 3 or 4 DVDs as there is not a lot to do in kaikoura in evening. The shower door had a hole in it and our heater didnt work, there seemed to be no urgency to fix these things. Also none of the laundry facilties worked. However, comfy beds, nice rooms, great location and free wifi so would stay again. Just needs a bit of TLC.
Adventure Queenstown HostelQueenstown, New Zealand
I've stayed at 20 hostels in New Zealand and this was definitely the best. Location in heart of Queenstown but not over noisy bar street like Nomads is. Very friendly staff and guided tour when you arrive. Stayed in 6 bed dorm and family room, both very comfy. The bunks are nice wooden ones so they don't creak, each bunk has reading light and 2 plugs plus storage space. Free good wifi. Social events, loads of facilities plus free phone to call UK! Cannot recommend highly enough!
Nomads QueenstownQueenstown, New Zealand
Great location for being in centre of Queenstown near everything you need. However all the girl dorms are over the street with bars in it so it's noisy at night. A shame because the 4 bed girls dorms are lovely, hotel standard bathrooms. Really nice common areas. Half hour of free wifi. The free meal is nice touch but is more snack size.
Base AucklandAuckland, New Zealand
The location is really good for centre of town, view of the sky tower as you step out the main door. Stayed in the girls sanctuary form which was nice and quiet but only two toilets for whole floor and the showers were very basic so bathroom facilities could be better. You have to pay for wifi. No security lockers. Common rooms areas are good.
Caravella Backpackers Cairns City WaterfrontCairns, Australia
Free wifi in communal areas. Nice pool that you can actually swim in unlike most hostels. Beds comfy. Needs a comfier sofa area where people can socialise other than just kitchen tables. Good location near esplanade and lagoon.
Helen at reception is amazing and very helpful. The hostel is very clean. You get a towel which is always nice. 2 Plugs each by each bed! Free wifi! Right next to shopping centre for food and cinema. Also right next to railway to kuranda. It is about 25mins to esplanade but not too bad. Would recommend.
Foreign Exchange Accommodation - BeachsideTownsville, Australia
This hostel is nice. Free wifi in communal areas is a big plus. Ben seems to be the only member of staff and works very hard, quite small communal areas. Room comfy. Short walk to the strand.
Helen at reception is excellent. Really close to shopping centre but about 20 min walk to main harbour/esplanade area, would be good if they ran a shuttle service.
Backpackers by the BayAirlie Beach, Australia
Short walk to town. Good that they do a quiz every evening to get people involved. No security lockers. Friendly staff.
Flashpackers Hervey BayHervey Bay, Australia
Deluxe room was great as has single beds not bunks and lovely shower. Does not give free lockers like the flashpackers in Noosa. Big kitchen area. Cool cinema room. Not much to do in Hervey Bay but would definitely recommend for pre/post a Fraser Island tour.
Noosa FlashpackersNoosa, Australia
Best hostel yet... Free breakfast, good tv facilities, free wifi, free BBQ night, lockers provided in room, reading light and plug socket for each bed. Staff friendly. Regular shuttle bus to the various main points in the town.
Byron Beach ResortByron Bay, Australia
The staff were not overly friendly and there could be more activities put on in the evenings to encourage people to socialise. However, the hostel is just across from beautiful beach and there is really nice cafe next door. The grounds are nice with hammocks, benches etc.
PODs The Backpackers HomeKuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Close to KL sentral which is good for trains to see the various sites. The pods aren't really rooms as have big gaps around the top so can hear all the rooms. The showers are very basic but are warm. Breakfast of toast was appreciated but no milk for tea! You get what you pay for bit if have limited time in KL then this is a good base.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Pelotonia Fellowship Program, which is funded by the annual Pelotonia cycling event, will award grants to five postdoctoral students to conduct innovative cancer research at The Ohio State University's Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.
Pelotonia funds fellowship grants for undergraduate, graduate, medical school and post-doctoral students conducting cancer research at Ohio State. To date, 116 Pelotonia fellowships have been awarded, including 56 undergraduates, 32 graduate students, two medical students and 26 post-doctoral students.
"The Pelotonia Fellowship Program is incredibly effective," says program director Gustavo Leone, who holds a doctorate of molecular virology. "We have been able to recruit some of the best and brightest postdoctoral students from around the world who will work here at Ohio State with some of the world's most renowned scientists to help move us closer to our goal of one day living in a cancer-free world."
The Pelotonia Fellowship Program is already making strides toward a cancer-free world, as several fellowship recipients at varying levels of scholarship – undergraduate students, graduate students, medical students and postdoctoral researchers – are working with faculty mentors in the world of cancer research. One such example is Markus Mair, a postdoctoral researcher from Austria who received a Pelotonia Fellowship award for "Genetic Dissection of the Tumor Microenvironment."
Mair is conducting the project in Leone's laboratory to establish a novel approach to identifying genes in normal cells surrounding the tumor that have an impact on tumor development and progression. Results of this tumor microenvironment project could be relevant for many types of cancer, says Mair.
The Pelotonia Fellowship Program funds wide-ranging cancer research projects – from traditional science fields to history, business and computer science.

A mock-orange bush was in snowy bloom behind me; great bunches of wistaria hung over the rock beside me.
Being town-bred and unused to owls, I took it for a human cry in the darkness and shrank closer against my mock-orange bush.
"Never mind, Prue; we'll give him a mock-orange some day," said her mother.
They held their breath; and I held mine, pressing my body into the mock-orange bush until the twigs cracked.
It was dreamy weather, even for late spring: the scent of lilacs and mock-orange hung heavy as incense along the woods.
The gravel walks were bordered with great lilac-bushes, mock-orange, and bridal-wreath.
The breath of blown Peonies scents the summer air along with the languorous odor of the mock-orange flowers.
The guelder-rose's summer snow-balls, and the mock-orange with its penetrating odor, whiten the still gardens as we pass.
The hardy ornamental shrubs, honeysuckle, lilac, mock-orange and spirea Van Houttii can be grown here.
A smooth well-shaped gourd (mock-orange) makes a serviceable darning egg.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
Proulx, a Grammy Award-winning composer, presents a fresh take on a number of standards as well as six compelling, original compositions. The selections and arrangements offer a wide variety of musical styles: from jazz, folk and hip-hop to Brazilian, contemporary jazz and pop. This is Proulx's third MAXJAZZ release.
Album Notes
Personnel: John Proulx (vocals, piano); Joe Labarbera (drums).
Audio Mixer: Paul Tavenner.
Liner Note Author: John Proulx.
Recording information: Big City Studios, Granada Hills, CA (02/10/2012/02/11/2012).
Photographers: Michael Bodie; Dailey Pike.
Arrangers: John Proulx; Bill Cunliffe.
With his third CD, vocalist/pianist John Proulx broadens his musical palette to include more contemporary pop and originals to complement favorite standards. Accompanied once more by veterans Chuck Berghofer on bass and drummer Joe La Barbera, along with several guests on selected tracks, Proulx's light but warm voice and intimate piano make the most of the music. He's an accomplished interpreter of standards, opening with a brisk treatment of Irving Berlin's "The Best Thing for You (Would Be Me)" and a decidedly different bossa nova setting of "I Can't Give You Anything But Love." Bill Cunliffe sits in on piano as Proulx's sole accompanist for the bittersweet ballad "In the Days of Our Love," a touching composition by Marian McPartland with lyrics by Peggy Lee that deserves to be performed with more regularity. Proulx scats in unison with trumpeter Ron Stout in a delightful take of Cannonball Adderley's rarely heard "Wabash." The difference between Proulx and many younger jazz artists who try a similar path is that he has a gift for finding new approaches to pop material, while also choosing songs that have strong melodies. A perfect example is "Sing," turned into a midtempo ballad with a bossa nova undercurrent, with understated solos by acoustic guitarist Larry Koonse, Proulx, and Berghofer. His loping rendition of Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" features a harmony vocal by Sara Gazarek and Jeremy Boersma's warm arco cello. The leader also uncovers a gem in Billy Joel's "And So It Goes," an excellent showcase for Bob Sheppard's soprano sax. Proulx contributed several originals, including the playful bop vehicle "Jogger Chronicles," featuring Sheppard on tenor sax and the leader's hip piano, while "Before We Say Goodnight" is another engaging bossa nova, with Sheppard adding a nice touch on flute. John Proulx's broad musical palette and ability to build upon the strengths of each song separate him from the pack of jazz artists of his generation. ~ Ken Dryden

Really cross with school - Young Writers(91 Posts)
Has anyone else had a child whose work has been published in a Young Writers book?
Young Writers are a publishing company who claim that 'your' child has had a piece of writing selected to be published in a book. A small paperback book which costs £15.99 plus £2 postage!!
It's all done through the school but parents had no knowledge of entries being put in until we received letters saying our child had been selected. Parents (myself included) are angry because a) the school gave out our names and addresses to the company without permission....and b)we are now pressurised into buying this massively over-priced book.
My younger dd also had a poem published in one of these books last year and again parents were cross that details were given out. The teacher admitted it was an oversight and apologised (sort of) but this same teacher has done it again this year!
Shocking methods to take money from parents but more shocking that they can play on the emotions of young children. My 12 old year old told me today that his letter was from a scam company and to take it off the fridge because it made him sad. Watchdog these scammers...that is where I am going next. Oh and cancelling my cheque.
Hi resurrecting this thread as we just got this from school as homework no less! I'm going to complain about it, but what I think is most disturbing of all which no one has mentioned (aside from calling all entries winners and charging £15 for winners!) is that they appear also to collect children's names, addresses and ages and the school they attend. There is NO MENTION on their site about how they protect this data, or if they sell it on to marketers. I would complain heartily to schools who have obviously not bothered (like ours) to really investigate what they are getting their students into.
My ten year old did this when she was about 6 and it's actually quite sweet to look back at the little riddles that she and her classmates wrote at that age. My children have enjoyed looking back at them too. I'm not as interested in the riddles of children I don't know, so for me it's a positive things that lots from her class are in it. She'll leave the school in July and I think its a nice memento. I'm sure there are things I've spent the same amount of money on that have been a far bigger waste. I realise most people on mumsnet feel very differently about it though.
I can't believe schools are still falling for this nonsense!
My daughters school handed out certificates only yesterday from the young readers club, my sister in law told me about these "scams" so I went and spoke to the head teacher today and raised my concerns. She has took it very seriously and will be looking into it. I am just glad I got told before sending any money off.... All schools should be shown these complaints, it is, after all, protecting our children from disappointment.
I've been a victim of this again with dd3! Same thing, she brought home the bumph, 'your child has been selected etc etc....' AND a letter from the headmaster congratulating her!
How can I not buy it??
I'm so annoyed, what success have people had when broaching it with their child's school?
Ds has had 3! Pieces of work "published", a poem and a couple of short stories. we haven't bought any books and no pressure to do so (other than a letter which went straight to recycle).
It's. harmless bit of fun and encourages ds to write. In his class of 30 around 15 had their poems published, so quite a lot get done.
I too was a it disappointed at first; the competition bit is a complete con.
However the book looks good with a nice font, each poem on a seperate page and there are lots of enteries from other schools.
Looking back it's lovely to have his poem actually in print in a real book. It's great that the rest of the class are in it too as a memory of them all.
At £16 it compares to the price of school photos and is quite nice as a reminder of their early work.
Just to throw in my two pennies, I am a teacher who recently entered a load of my kids into one of these competitions. I did NOT give out their addresses, in line with school policy, but instead used the school address, and all parents would have been aware of what was happening as I set the competition entry for homework, which they are required to supervise as per our home-school agreement.
I had absolutely no idea that loads of them were going to get accepted, and was very surprised (and annoyed) when I got a barrel-load of 'winning' letters back to hand out to the parents of my children. Although I must point out that they had read and checked EVERY single story, and they had sent back the ones that hadn't made it with editorial comments explaining why they hadn't made the cut.
What we decided to do was to publicise the fact that the school were going to get a free copy, and advise parents to wait to order their copy until they had seen our copy and decided whether or not they wanted to spent the £15.99.
I just want to make it clear that the school gets ABSOLUTELY NO cut of any profit. The only 'benefit' is that we get one free copy of the anthology. Most teachers would enter into this competition because they want to get children enthusiastic about writing - and because it's very important for children to feel as if they are writing for a real audience (other than their teacher). It's a pain in the ass to administer such competitions as a teacher, and I promise you, we only do such things because we want the best opportunities for your children, too.
If you are thinking about going to your child's school to complain about one of these competitions, please don't. It is very unlikely that your school has done this as some nefarious trick to play on you and your children. The teachers are probably as surprised and annoyed as you are. Instead, why don't you go in and politely bring it to their attention, and perhaps suggest that they make it very clear to all parents that a copy of the book will be available in the school library? That's what we did, and our parents are quite happy!
Has anyone actually purchased the books and been happy with them?!
I got a letter about this for my son a few years ago. I didn't pay straight away and a while later I was offered to buy them for £5 rather then the original £16. I brought one then but it was pretty obvious what a con it was when it arrived and entire classes were in it. I'm pretty sure the schools must get a cut. Pretty shoddy if they are compromising data protection for profit.
I can't believe this is still going on
Dd is now in year 8 but when she was in reception they did this and we got letters home
I was livid and went into school to complain
They hadn't realised it was a scam and haven't been involved since
I bought the book when my dd did this four years ago. I don't remember it costing as much as £33 then though. I think it was £15.99 for the 3 for 2 offer. I like having a book with a little riddle she wrote at that age to look back on and it's nice seeing the sweet little riddles that other kids in her class wrote at that age too. I don't regret buying it. It's a bonus for me that we know lots of the other kids whose riddles are in it, not a negative. My younger dd didn't do it as I guess people had complained about it by then. I'd have liked one for her and her classmates, although £33 is more than I'd want to pay.
I was glad to have read on here about YW because we got a letter from them about DS over Christmas and I was able to bin it before he saw it. If they want a proper bound book of their work we can do it through Blurb or someone like that.
MrsTawdry, if your DD is desperately disappointed not to be published (I have no evidence that they only include your child's work in the book if you pay for it, but I bet they do) then there are firms out there who make it easy for you to publish a child's story + illustrations as a book in its own right. Much more reasonable prices, and all your child's own work rather than just part of one page among hundreds.
I'm not going to recommend because I haven't actually used any of them except to advise you to avoid any who suggest this makes your child a "published author" and that complete strangers will be queuing up to buy their book on Amazon if only you pay $$$ for their fancy publication package... it's not true, what you want is someone who will let you buy three copies for you + granny with no setup charges.
I'm bumping this to add that my DD has "won" as well and I am hopping mad.
The school sent the entry forms home as "homework" and DD spent a lot of time writing hers.
It is MEANINGLESS that she's been "chosen"! Her hard work is denigrated.....like all the other children's because it is dressed up as a competition when it's nothing of the sort.
I want the company back on here to explain further and I am talking to school about this!!
I will also start a campaign of awareness about this.
The organisation is doing nothing to improve anything about literacy which school does not do alone!
DD received her letter today, and then one by one other parents in her class start updating their FB statuses to say the same. Really feeling vexed now that I've forked out on their three for two pre-publication offer (£33) for something that is meaningless.
DD's school did this.
I didn't buy the book, and I forwarded some links about the scam (I agree, that's what it is) to the school.
We spent a while discussing with her that this didn't mean her poem was bad - it just didn't mean anything at all, they probably hadn't even read it - and that if she wanted to try to get published in a meaningful way I was happy to help her do that. When it came down to it, she wasn't that interested.
I had this 22 years ago with my son. listening to radio 4 this morning has just opened my eyes to this and I really thought my son's poem was chosen because it was good and not just published because I paid for it. now i feel cheated.
I now feel massively relieved after reading these posts..my son, 6 years old, was entered by our very highly regarded school into a Young Writers competition without our knowledge or permission. He then came home with a lovely certificate, information pack and yes, you guessed it, a request for money. £16.99 per book. He was over the moon, felt so special and had absolutely no idea that so many other children in his year had also been awarded the same accolade. They are very clever in their wording and make out that your child is really very special and it is a great feat to have been asked to have a story published.
We were all set to pay up and order books for us and Grandparents but I was really suspicious of the price and the information which looked like junk mail!! Needless to say, we didn't, but now I am left with a very disappointed son. This is so unfair and extremely irresponsible of the school.
To make matters worse I just found an article on the internet which details the bankruptcy of a company which sounds like it was the predecessor to Young Writers..same area (Cambridgeshire), same price for books etc etc. So, they lost everything, owing huge amounts to customers and colleagues and then set up again under a different name!! Unbelievable and really scary!
Anyway, I just want to alert everyone to boycott these people and to try not to let your child get too excited about the whole thing. It's a scam.
I know this is an old thread but we've just got a letter from them – book is £15.99 etc. We slaved over a story that was sent home as homework at the end of last term and I thought it might be an initiative from the council (it was well laid out with tools to help plan the story etc.). I was excited on opening the letter but began to think that they must need to publish a lot of stories to make a long enough book and got a bit suspicious! Then mentioned it to a work colleague who said his daughter had got caught up in it a couple of years ago. It is hugely expensive for what it is, and the letter had grammatical mistakes … hmmm, don't know whether to make a fuss of DD or not now. And whether to tell the school to keep their distance?
Thanks LondonLees, I have considered a PM but tbh I don't feel I know the person well enough to know how she would react. We used to work in the same place but it was a fairly large office and we weren't in the same team.
I think I'll just have to hope for the best, she's so proud of her daughter it makes me cross to think it's just a con
Wool - I sent my friend a private message when the exact same thing happened. Kinder than posting a comment on her post. I included a link or two and she was v grateful to not be conned but not lose face.
Blimey. We've used We Are Writers (Scholastic) and keep the cost of the books down to £5. And there's no competitive aspect, every child has a poem published in it, and that is know upfront.
I know this is an old thread but a friend has posted on facebook that her daughter has been selected to have a price of work published in one of the young writers books.
I don't want to burst her bubble by commenting on her post but equally I don't want her to be conned. Does anyone have any recent positive experience with this company?

Based on the pinout, it could also be PWM (2 & 10) or ISO (7).
Unless you are severely short on cash, I would strongly recommend buying a multiprotocol interface (they're much cheaper than they used to be). Worst case, buy a multiprotocol OBD IC like the ELM327 or STN1110 (I am strongly biased in favor of the latter ).

Committee Goes 22-12 For China-Style Internet CensorshipDecember 15, 2011 - by Donny Shaw
During today's mark-up of the "Stop Online Piracy Act," a bill that would establish the first internet censorship system in the U.S., the House Judiciary Committee rejected a key amendment that would have removed provisions from the bill that call for entire sites to be blacklisted from the internet via DNS blocking, the same system used in the Great Firewall of China. Wired:
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-California) urged panelists to remove the DNS and firewall aspects of the bill.
Rep. Mel Watt (D-North Carolina) said he was not a technological "nerd," but said he did not "believe" security experts who said that the internet would become less secure unless Issa's amendment was adopted. "I'm not a person to argue about the technology of this," Watt said before he voted against the amendment. Issa's amendment failed 22-12.
Full roll call details on that forthcoming…
The DNS filtering provision wasn't removed because, despite what the bill's proponents want you to believe, censoring websites is the core of this bill. The corporate backers of the bill want special rules that will allow them to stop dealing with individual violations of the law and instead take down entire networks just because legal violations are possible. They want the law to reflect their complete apathy towards the fact that a lot of legitimate speech is going to be censored in the process.
