TSA's new PreCheck fast-pass airport screening program is "good in theory," says one Alaska Airlines passenger, but "the execution leaves much to be desired."
So you've been preapproved for PreCheck, the government's new fast-pass airport security screening program — either because you're a high-mileage frequent flier invited by your airline to participate, or you're a member off the Global Entry, Sentri or Nexus expedited U.S./Canadian/Mexican border-crossing programs.
What are your chances of actually getting to use the special lanes at Sea-Tac Airport and other U.S. airports where low-risk passengers no longer have to take off shoes or jackets, remove laptops and liquids from carry-ons, nor walk though full-body scanners?
TSA won't say what percentage of preapproved passengers get the green light on each flight. But anecdotal evidence suggests some are ending up in the slow lane more often than they expected — the result of a TSA policy to continue randomly selecting even PreCheck passengers for full screening.
Who does and doesn't get to use the PreCheck lane is a hot topic on the popular FlyerTalk travelers forum, so I asked Seattle Times readers to report on their experiences.

"I am a Nexus card holder and registered my pass number with Alaska Airlines. So far, I am 1 for 4 going through the PreCheck lane at Sea-Tac," reports John Austenson. "Of course, there is no explanation on why you get turned-down."
What frustrates Austenson is that there's no way to find out how things will go until you arrive at the airport, get in line and an agent scans your boarding pass for a special bar code.
"The system is good in theory," he says, "but the execution leaves much to be desired."
Like the lottery
Some expressed frustration that only those flying on Alaska Airlines out of Seattle can use the PreCheck lane set up in late April at Checkpoint No. 5 in the north end of the terminal.
Let's say you're flying on American, United, Southwest or another airline. You can't use PreCheck at Sea-Tac until TSA decides to bring others into the fold, even if you have a Nexus, Sentri or Global Entry pass.
"Love the process," writes Larry Dean. He and his wife have gone through PreCheck twice without any hassles. "The main problem I have is that it's not available for more carriers and more airports."
TSA emphasizes that PreCheck is still in the test phase. While it hopes to have the program in place in 35 U.S. airports by year's end, the only airlines so far picked to participate are Alaska, Delta and American, depending on the airport.
Michael Stewart was initially pleased when TSA chose Alaska Airlines to pilot PreCheck in Seattle.
"I entered my known traveler number (Global Entry number) into my Alaska profile even before the airline officially invited me to apply," he says. "The next flight, I went to the airport on a Sunday morning and the TSA staffers at the PreCheck desk were almost like private concierges. It was like the old days.
"Since then, unfortunately, there have been three more visits to the PreCheck desk and each time I have been shunted to the left to go through an exceptionally slow-moving line. So, PreCheck has worked for me one out of four attempts, even though the government has tons of background data on me."
Nexus member Carole Ann Milton reports better luck.
"I have used the PreCheck twice and it was great! I literally just walked through. The only waiting in line I experienced the second time was because people were in the wrong line — mine! — which they weren't eligible to use."
Alaska Airlines did not invite MVP Gold member Debi Fritz to apply, but as a Global Entry member, she's been able to pass through the PreCheck lane three out of four times.
"It is a fun game with me; like pulling a winning lottery ticket," she says. "I don't get angry when I am not picked, but I sure love the added ease of not having to disrobe and dismantle my luggage."
How to apply
Some are confused on how to register for PreCheck.
For now, there are two ways:
1) Accept an invitation from your airline, likely only if you're a high-mileage frequent flier. Information at www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/escreening.shtm.
2) Apply for Global Entry, Nexus or Sentri. Once approved, enter your number in the "known traveler" box when making your airline reservation. See https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov/main/goes.

You'll find the best designer selected furniture and accessories at outlet prices, everyday.
Our History
The brainchild of President and CEO Nancy Rhodes, Furniture Affair started back in 1989 in a tiny, cramped 1,200 square foot space on Bell Road in Phoenix. The premise was simple. Nancy saw the need to help builders move their one-of-a-kind model home furnishings after the models sold, so she created the opportunity to re-sell the beautiful furniture and accessories to the public. What began with the consignment of one builder has since grown to a network of over 55 partners!
In October 1997, Furniture Affair relocated to a 12,000 square foot location.
In 2002, Furniture Affair grew into our current 28,900 square foot facility located at the northwest corner of 7th Street and Coral Gables in the growing north Valley of Phoenix, Arizona.
2016 marked Furniture Affair's move Back To Bell! We relocated to a beautiful new 12,000 sq ft showroom in a high traffic, convenient location at the northwest corner of 7th St and Bell Road.
The Flood
On August 2nd, 2005, during a severe thunderstorm a 4000 sq foot section of our roof collapsed breaking a sprinkler main and the entire store was flooded. In some areas the water was as high as three feet! The insurance adjustor was really surprised that we decided to rebuild. A crane was needed to remove our collapsed roof and it took 14 days of teams of 20+ employees to inventory all of the merchandise. We discarded ten construction size dumpsters of damaged furniture. We didn't have a roof until mid-September and then the mold abatement began. The final repairs were completed in February 2006.
Present Day
Today, Furniture Affair is a multi-million dollar venture recognized as the leader in the resale of model home furnishings, interior design, staging, discount furniture, furniture appraisals and installations. The concept remains beautiful in its simplicity: designer selected model home furniture and accessories at outlet prices. Pair that with outstanding design services and award-winning, people-centric designers and you'll see why people love Furniture Affair.

Holy Smokeds
From spiced sable to cured salmon, a fish-platter primer
One of the keys to relaxed entertaining is knowing when to outsource the work to the experts. And that's why smoked fish makes so much sense for parties, whether brunches or cocktail gatherings.
A smoked-fish platter takes almost no time to prepare, but delivers lush flavors that can make even shy guests elbow their way to the buffet (no wonder Jewish seafood specialty shops have traditionally been called "appetizing stores").
Of course, there are too many kinds of smoked fish to count: Each variation in fish species, season, curing, smoking and even slicing produces a nuance in the eating experience. So, to help get your parties started, here is an enthusiast's guide to smoked fish that embraces that spectrum of flavors.
You know the eating will be serious when there's a whole golden-skinned, tender-fleshed whitefish on the table (often seen in Jewish households at Rosh Hashanah and after the Yom Kippur fast). The skin of a whole smoked fish protects the delicate flesh within, so the meat stays extremely tender and moist.
If you're in the mood for some campfire woodsiness, order a chunk of Peterson's smoked whitefish from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan—and be sure to buy some extra so you can make a whitefish spread with the leftovers ($6 a pound, 906-482-2343). Or, if you want a subtler smoke and a smaller fish, try the lustrous smoked Bering cisco that is fished in the northern waters of the Yukon River and available at select Wegmans ($15 a pound, wegmans.com).
Sable and Mackerel
Sable, also known as black cod, might be the best smoked fish you haven't heard of. It flies under the radar at most fish counters, but the soft and insanely unctuous flesh of the wild-caught sable holds smoke and spice beautifully. Cured and cold-smoked, it will pop off the platter with its voluptuous, paprika-kissed flair ($44 a pound, russanddaughters.com).
If you can hunt down the hot-smoked version, like the BBQ Cod at Nate 'n Al of Beverly Hills, you won't be sorry. The technique emphasizes the cod's tender texture ($30 a pound, natenal.com). East Coast mackerel, smoked with apple and cherry wood, brings a darker beauty to the smoked fish spread, and it can handle a good lick of pepper. Blue Hill Bay peppered smoked mackerel ($11 a pound, fairwaymarket.com) is the perfect fish to serve with eggs and caramelized onions come breakfast time.
Let's start with a salmon that's not smoked, but often mistaken for being so: lox. Belly lox, by tradition, is a cured, but un-smoked salmon—think of it as a stripped-down and saltier cousin to gravlax. You can still find belly lox at old-school appetizing stores, like the venerable Russ & Daughters of New York's Lower East Side. Lush, bright and piquantly salty, lox is not a shy treat, but sliced gossamer thin, it adds delicious fishy voltage to an ordinary bagel ($34 a pound, russanddaughters.com). What many of us mistakenly call lox is actually Nova-style smoked salmon. Slightly sweet and lightly smoked at a low temperature, Gaspé Nova is an effortless classic, balancing a fine, silky texture with a gentle whiff of smoke—as if the neighbor down the street has a few logs going in the fireplace ($36 a pound, russanddaughters.com).
While Nova is most commonly made with farmed Atlantic salmon, the same curing and cold-smoking technique can be applied to wild salmon like Washington state-based Gerard & Dominique's Smoked Wild Sockeye Salmon. With its distinctive, scarlet-coral flesh, it is softer textured than the farmed stuff, but boasts a provocative, meatier-tasting flesh ($50 pound, seabear.com). East Coast and European salmon is typically cold-smoked—in other words, the fish is cured and smoked at very low temperatures.
On the West Coast, salmon that has been smoked and fully cooked at higher temperatures is especially popular. This kind of smoked fish—also sometimes called kippered salmon—can have a glossy, slightly sweet and chewy crust that gives way to succulent flesh beneath. Such salmon flakes instead of draping like the cold-smoked stuff, but no preparation shows off the decadent side of a wild, Alaskan-caught fish better. Try Alderwood smoked salmon ($30 a piece (at least a pound), pikeplacefish.com).
This just might be the poshest fish on the smorgasbord: Creamy white and opaque, it has a plush, cushioned texture and mellow taste. Since traditional wild stocks are in short supply, Barney Greengrass, the century-old fish specialist on Manhattan's Upper West Side, uses farmed fish from California. The restaurant is justly famous for its delicate treatment of the precious fish; after brining it for a few days, they gently hot-smoke it over fruit wood ($60 a pound, barneygreengrass.com). Barney Greengrass and Russ & Daughters (who also sell sturgeon for $52 a pound), still slice and package fish—from sable to salmon—by hand, which produces the most elegant, drape-able slices imaginable.

During yesterday's Super Bowl, CG-animated feature Rio opted for some clever marketing when they released a secret code that unlocked a secret Super Bowl level to the popular Angry Birds app. Directed by Brazil-born Carlos Saldanha, director of all three of the Ice Age movies, Rio tells the story of Blu (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg ), a rare macaw living comfortably in Minnesota who makes the trek to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in the hopes of finding a female macaw (Anne Hathaway) that he saw on TV. The movie releases on April 15, 2011. Watch the trailer after the jump and then if you missed the queue read below the trailer for instructions to unlock the level.
Detailed instructions to unlock the secret Super Bowl Angry Birds level (thanks to zblanco4 at androidpolice.com:
1. Open level 13-12 of Ham 'Em High
2. Shoot the first Yellow bird anywhere
3. Now shoot the White bird backwards and drop an egg on the back side of the hill
4. If you hit the right spot the Golden Egg will pop up!
5. Once you find the egg you will see the first image below, which opens the Secret Super Bowl Golden Egg level
6. If you can pass the level you'll see the second image. Notice that the egg contains the text Rio

Corruption and Fraud
Detection by Supreme
Audit Institutions
This chapter examines the fraud and corruption issues confronting supreme audit institutions (SAIs) and offers some strategies and ideas for improving SAI performance in detecting fraud and corruption. Some SAIs have already tested some of these strategies, with considerable success. For other SAIs they may be new ideas that can help them contain fraud and corruption in their countries.
The chapter is written for SAIs, with the hope that it will generate debate at the International Congress of Supreme Audit Institutions and cause a change in auditing emphases by SAIs— sooner rather than later. It is also written for government officials and legislators concerned about good governance, accountability, transparency, and probity, particularly in countries where fraud and corruption are well embedded in the local culture. The ideas and strategies expressed in this chapter could be the subject of donor support to countries where fraud and corruption interfere with good governance.
Fraud and corruption have devastating effects, especially on the poorest citizens of developing countries. Corruption has no borders

Are social network buttons important?
On Geo Theme you have a multitude. From the most important like Facebook, Twitter and Google+ next to place and events titles, to many others visible on request.
Great theme! I am not a techie. Do you have trained techs I can hire to insure I am able to easily load CVS files as I am on a mac for instance. Also is it easy to integrate 3rd party sites – like a crowdfunding site into this? What would I need to do that?
Can you change the design, fonts, colors, add a logo easily if you are not a techie?
Are there any third party plugins with businesses populated or any way to share with other buyers of this theme? I am looking for the fastest and easiest way to populate the business directory with some reviews.
Thanks so much!
Do you have or are there any place for a facebook "check-in" or "attending" button for the events listed on GT? Thank you.
Hi is it possible to bulk upload listing via csv that the 8 to 10 columns of information can be uploaded to each category

CONDITION OF THE ROADS: GET A PhD IN MALAWI
The main roads are in a relatively good shape.
While driving i was asked by a local guy if i had a PHD. Returning the question why he asked, he said: it seems so, by the way you drive. You must have been to Africa before !!! He got me confused now.
Yes he says, in order to avoid the pot holes in the tarmac, you have to drive from one side of the street to the other. Make sudden stops, reverse the car ens.
So, he says, you have developped these skills, to drive in Malawi.
So we honour you with a PHD: Pot Hole Dodger.!!!!Related to:

Compared to other countries in Southern Africa, except for the RSA, busses are in quite a good shape. To my surprise, vehicules are checked every year, in order to be allowed in traffiic. We did not discover what this check up really was.
Busses are very crowded, hot and sticky.
A mixture of smells catches you when going on the bus. But you get used to it after a while.Related to:

Boat at Lake Malawi
At the Lake Malawi it's nice to make a boatride by hiring a boat of the local people, who are around at the beach or at guesthouses.
It is not expensive, the scenery is beautiful and a meal or barbecue at the beach or an island can be included.
We really enjoyed our boatride from Cape Maclear to one of the islands.Related to:

Stagecoach Busses
"There is a nation-wide bus service catering for the local population. They seemed to stop every hundred yards to on-load and off-load passengers: often burdened with the most improbably shaped packages and produce. These buses are crowded and lively. The seating allows the traveller to appreciate every rut and pothole on untarred roads! This service is unhurried and offers an unrivalled opportunity to share ´a close proximity travel situation´ with the very friendly Malawian people. At many stops the bus windows attracts swarms of children selling local snacks, drinks and curios. Main bus stations are always situated close to population centres and are thronged with street vendors – if you get that far. Breakdowns are far from uncommon" ("Guide To Malawi")
This changed during the last years. The number of vehicles on Malawi's roads has increased significantly from 80.000 to more than 350.000 since the introduction of multiparty democracy in 1994, when transport sector was liberalized and the control of the import of vehicles was stopped.
Nowadays there are only a few busses on the roads to find. For longer destinations there is usually only one day and one night bus.
Minibusses and pick ups are far more common now.Add to your Trip Planner
The Great East Road
Our two trips to Grand Beach were done by car from Luanshya, Zambia - a 600-mile trip each way. Once past Lusaka, the Great East Road was the direct link to Malawi at the Chipata border crossing. This was a good road with an 80 mph comfortable cruising speed, hardly any traffic and only two places to stop for any hope of supplies or gas. On the second trip, I kept hearing a funny noise every time the car went around a turn on the highway. When we finally reached the resort and checked in, the rear wheel rim of the Toyota Crown broke into two pieces while we were slowly driving to our accommodations (the slow speed must have placed additional stress on the weak point - one advantage of speeding!). No damage and we made it back on our spare tire at the end of the trip. Photo taken along the Great East Road in Zambia near the border, with a Baobab tree and landscape similar to Malawi's.Add to your Trip Planner
Bicycle - taxis
Despite the increase of vehicles on Malawian roads there is still a chronicle shortage of public transport in rural areas due to the poor road conditions. As a result, most bus operators prefer to ply between cities and towns. To fill that vacuum more and more villagers are getting into the bicycle taxi business and it became a common feature on rural Malawian roads. Bicycles ranks can often be found at junctions. If there is an inefficient bus service locals offer this service for the "last mile".
The fare is determined by the distance and the weight of the passenger. Bicycle taxis also operate as courier service for the delivery of parcels.
Taxi cyclists are usually organised with a chairman standing at the head of a rank. If someone got harassed he or she can complain to him and if the taxi owner is found guilty he can be suspended for two weeks to two month, if it was a serious offence.
It may feel strange for a traveller to use this service that might look like a relict of old colonial days as the Muzungu is sitting on the back seat and the black man is sweating to pedal him through the days heat. But at least this taxi business is enabling villagers to earn some money for their living. Beside the taxi business some "side business" like bicycle maintenance developed and is offering some income for even more villagers.Add to your Trip Planner
Drive in the correct lane!
I believe that public transportation was mostly available in the major cities (not so much in the rural areas, but still available), but I am not sure about their reliability. And, if you venture on your own and decide to rent a vehicle (not sure of the costs) to travel in, make sure you drive on the correct side of the street! For Americans and others used to driving on the RIGHT side of the road, get used to driving on the LEFT side! Africa is under the British rule, so the driving applies too - hence, the opposite driving side of the road in America!Related to:

Lilongwe airport
By plane you will arrive at Kamuzu International Airport. KLM, Britsh Airways and some African airlines have flights between Malawi and Europe. We flight with KLM directly from Amsterdam.
At the airport are banks, a postoffice and a pharmacy.
All buses from/to Lilongwe to/from the north will stop at the airport, so it's easy to go by bus to the capital. We had a hired bus.Add to your Trip Planner
Ilala Ferry on Lake Malawi
Backpacking in Malawi? Head North or South along the lakeshore by the Ilala Ferry and truly experience the beauty of the lake. I would recommend starting North at Chilimba and going all the way south to Monkey Bay. You get to stop off at small lake island, see the beauty of the Mozambique shoreline and experience the hustle and bustle of trading onboard. The locals use the Ilala as their main form of trade down Lake Malawi.Related to:

Car is necessary
The locals mainly make use of their bicycle to get to places and to carry wood, sweet potatoes and whatever they need. It is amazing how much they can carry on their bicycle and still keep their balance! For tourists it is best to hire a car though (or take your own car with).Related to:

Beware the road speed traps
I'd hired a car to get to Zomba and drove directly from Lilongwe airport south towards Zomba. The road is pretty empty and more or less free from pot-holes but beware the police are out ( at least from 08.00am onwards until dusk) with their radar speed cameras. They are usually to be found at the end of the 50km/hour zone as you drive out past a village.
It seems there are signs informing drivers that they are entering a 50km/hr zone but the signs to indicate that the zone is now at an end cannot always be seen. Apparently thieves steal the metal signs and use the material for other purposes. Regular users of the road will have a good idea of where the restricted speed zone starts and ends but if you are a visitor you're unlikely to have that knowledge. Oncoming drivers often warn cars of the presence of the Police speed traps by flashing their lights which is always helpful but I'm embarrassed to admit that I got caught speeding twice. Once heading south and once going north. Make sure you get a receipt in exchange for the MWK5,000 instant fine you have to pay.Related to:

SWB RAILRIDERS SCOUTING REPORT: Toldeo Mud Hens
The RailRiders start an eight-game road trip - not to mention a stretch of 16 road games in 21 days - when they head to Toledo tonight for the first game of a four-game set.
Probable starters
Tonight: RailRiders RHP Caleb Cotham (0-0 1.93) vs. Toledo LHP Jose Alvarez (2-2, 1.50), 6:30 p.m. (NOTE: Joba Chamberlain technically will start this game and throw one inning in a rehab outing before being replaced by Cotham.)
Wednesday: RailRiders RHP Chris Bootcheck (4-0, 1.25) vs. Toledo RHP Shawn Hill (0-4, 3.98), 10:30 a.m.
Thursday: RailRiders RHP Chien-Ming Wang (2-2, 2.84) vs. Toledo RHP Derek Hankins (0-2, 3.32), 6:30 p.m.
Friday: RailRiders RHP Graham Stoneburner (2-2, 2.86) vs. Toledo LHP Casey Crosby (1-5, 5.30), 7 p.m.
Hens pecks
- At 11-28 heading into Monday's action, the Mud Hens were not-so-proud owners of the worst record in the International League.
- Former Scranton/Wilkes-Barre utilityman Kevin Russo has struggled in his first season with Toledo, hitting just .138 with eight RBIs. In his last 10 games, he's hitting .171, but he did have a four-hit game against Rochester on May 9.
- When the Mud Hens do have a ninth-inning lead, it's difficult to get it away from them. Closer Bruce Rondon hasn't allowed an earned run this season, picking up five saves. In 11â innings, he has allowed just six hits, walked four and struck out 14.
- Outfield prospect Nick Castellanos is hitting .237 with three homers and 16 RBIs, but he's only nine for his last 40.

Dear Verizon -- we already know just about everything about the Droid 2, now could you just please advertise the release date instead of teasing us? The image above was found in the Sunday newspaper, an ad from Verizon teasing the release of the Droid 2. Interesting timing on all of this, one would think. The original Droid is now out of stock on the Verizon site as of yesterday, and then today advertisements for the Droid 2 as coming soon. We get it, Verizon, you have the device on the way. We just ask one thing of you now: Give us the device? Please? Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Droid 2 now 'coming soon' in the Sunday papers
same here. i hear the update will resume on Monday august 12. i got this info from droid life.
Time to go to TiPb and vote people. This girl Rene wants to know "Would you switch from Droid to Verizon iPhone 4?"
I would like to know what's Verizon's game plan? What's the major diff in all 3 Droid phones? God that would mean in almost 4 months they released the Droid inc, Droid x, and now the Droid 2. What is the difference? Can somebody break it down because I have seen them all running the same specs, and features, and software.
I would like for either Verizon or sprint to let me know when the droid 2 or epic will be out. I want to leave verizon and go to sprint but I want a keyboard. My contract is up at verizon and I could get a droid for basically the cost of the 2 year extension but that is a $2500 commitment for a free phone.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Hi http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=7487&th=1547#msg_7487 <![CDATA[Hi. I've lurked here a little and love the idea of the 3d printing. I especially like the idea of being able to measure stuff, 3d model stuff, then getting a real copy of it. I see possibilities.

 Now, I"m thinking of making a rc plane mostly with shapeways parts. I realize it would have to be hollow. I'm thinking that you make a full 3d model of it in a cad program, then get stuff like the wing struts (braces, supports, profile thingo that goes inside the wing) made by shapeways, as well as the main body and servo mounts. Now, for this there is two main questions. How strong is the materials, and how light. Obviously it needs to be really light, yet strong. Which of the materials would be best for this (Also, cheapest is good as well, yet as long as you dont' say SS).

 An example

 A aerofoil shaped piece, with 3 holes in it (to cut down weight). 10cm long, 4-5 high. How thick would this need to be? I'd hope just 1mm,(for weight), however slightly more would be fine.

 edit: Also, I would be interested in making connections for water bottle rockets. I'd guess these would need to be a little thicker, but thats not so big of a deal. However, these connections undergo huge strains (I hope to get up to 140psi, common is probably 50psi). These parts should last a long time, and not be permeable to water and air (and maybe hydrogen gas  ).

 I have considerable experience in blender, but not for scale modelling. I have used autodesk inventor, a CAD program before, so i am not really new to CAD. I could probably use inventor to make some parts, but i would prefer to use blender if it's equal or better. Autodesk inventor doesn't properly create screws and thread (it just puts a texture on), so any tutorials on how to make screws would be nice. I think I may have discovered a way, using blender's boolean tools and screw tools, but it doesn't look very good.]]> Fake 2009-10-27T06:07:52-00:00 Re: Hi http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=7499&th=1547#msg_7499 <![CDATA[Hey bud,

 By far the best material for your application is WSF (SLS). Its a tough nylon that can be quite light when thin, but also flexible and strong.

 Its the roughest material available, but its easily sanded back. The example you suggested would probably be fine at a mm.

 The bottle rockets would also be fine out of WSF as long as they were sufficiently thick (you'll have a seriously tough time breaking anything over 5mm thick).

 ]]> crsdfr 2009-10-28T03:36:24-00:00 Re: Hi http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=7657&th=1547#msg_7657 <![CDATA[I was just wondering how much 1cm3 of WSF weighs?]]> Fake 2009-11-07T21:42:18-00:00 Re: Hi http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=7658&th=1547#msg_7658 <![CDATA[The density of WSF is a little less than 1g/cm3.
 I measured the volume in my software tool, and the weigh of the actual object, so the results are perhaps not 100% precise (it depends on how faithful the dimensions of the actual printed object are compared the virtual modelised object).
 With this method, the results are varying between 0.95 and 0.98g/cm3.]]> Magic 2009-11-07T22:44:33-00:00 Re: Hi http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=7660&th=1547#msg_7660 <![CDATA[Thank you. Do you happen to know how this compares to balsa wood?]]> Fake 2009-11-08T00:39:11-00:00 Re: Hi http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=7661&th=1547#msg_7661 <![CDATA[I have no experience with balsa wood, but from what I can read on Internet, its density is varyng from 0.08g/cm3 to 0.23g/cm3, the average value being 0.16g/cm3.
 So WSF is at least 4 times heavier, in the best case (12 times in the worst case).]]> Magic 2009-11-08T07:01:49-00:00

I have been tutoring for over 10 years, both in an academic setting and privately in students homes. I enjoy working individually with students because I can see an ongoing increase in their understanding of and proficiency in a particular subject. Initially I assess a student's learning style, strong points, and weak points, and from there I determine the best way to approach any subject that the student wishes to focus on. It's a wonderful feeling for both the students and me when the "light goes on" and they have a better understanding of a language concept that had been puzzling them. Many students and their parents have referred me to other students. Also, upon graduation from University of Massachusetts Boston, where I tutored English, ESL, history, and German, I was presented with the Tutor of the Year Award. This distinction came as a total, but pleasant, surprise to me.
In addition to tutoring, I also teach English as a Second Language - ESL, Basic English, First Year English Literature and Composition, Public Speaking, and other literature classes at a small college in Boston. During the summer I teach ESL to high school students who come to the Boston area to improve their English skills and enjoy the summer in this area. My skills in all levels of English, including grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing are well-developed and constantly being strengthened and reinforced. Therefore, I can pass on my knowledge to my students and be helpful to them!be of great assistance to degree in a foreign language. I have also taught English as a Second Language to both adults and international students.
Personally, I love reading, traveling, theater, art, music, film, and animals. When I tutor, I find out the student's interests and relate them to what he or she is working with. I hope all of this information has been helpful. I'm sure that you will be pleased with my tutoring skills.

Lessons with Ellen were very productive and gave my son a better understanding of math and English concepts that will be part of the ISEE test. The tutoring sessions put my son at ease and gave him confidence to take the exam. Ellen is very kind, organized and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her for a tutor.
Thank you very much for your heartfelt comments regarding my tutoring for your son. It was a pleasure to work with him and to meet your lovely family. I wish him and your family much luck in the future.
We started studying German grammar, and Ellen provided an excellent guidance and overview of several grammar topics. We look forward to continuing our lessons with Ellen.
Ellen did an excellent job working with my son to fine tune his writing skills. She is kind, patient and gave him the confidence he needs for his upcoming Writing class this semester. I highly recommend Ellen and cannot thank her enough!
Thank you for your patience and tailoring sessions to my son's needs. I am very excited about his growing vocabulary, ability to communicate on the topic AND grades he began to bring home. He tells me after each session, that lesson helped him.
Ellen helped me with TOEFL exam, resume, and graduate school application; it has been a great experience for me. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and very easy to work with. Moreover, she is very responsive and always tries her best to help her students.
I enjoyed having lessons with her, and I would highly recommend her.
Extremely responsive. Feedback is great - I know exactly what my son has reviewed and what he has been assigned. Ellen is very flexible and works with my son's schedule.
Hello Kit,
Thank you very much for your feedback. It will be a great reference for other potential students and their parents. I'm glad you are pleased with the work we have been doing together.
Ellen S. helped me to get prepared for the TOEFL test in only 9 weeks. We met once a week on a day which pleased us the best. My day plan is very busy, so I was very thankful that Ellen always tried to squeeze 1.5 h in her day plan! As a tutor Ellen was always very friendly, calm and patient! In our 1.5 hours we did many exercises together. We corrected my homework and talked a lot about important things I had to pay attention to! I really appreciate her effort and enjoyed our meetings a lot! I'm glad I have chosen her as my tutor and in the end I even passed my TOEFl! Thank you very much Ellen!
These lessons with Ellen are the perfect fit for me. Currently, we work with texts and this method totally meets my expectations in the sense that I learn a lot of vocabulary & I can improve my pronunciation by reading out loud, so in the end I will speak more fluently English. An extra advantage with these individual tutor lessons, is that Ellen and I can talk and discuss about what recently happened on the news or other typical things and habits in the USA which are different in my country. In that way I definitely learn a lot with Ellens' teaching method.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
As a college English instructor who teaches literature, writing technique and grammar, I use these classroom skills when I tutor students individually. The student benefits because I can focus on his or her personal strengths and struggles with the language, or with any particular assignment he or she needs to work on.
I have taught English as a Second Language to adults at Training Resources in Brockton, Massachusetts. While I was at University of Massachusetts Boston, I was a teaching assistant in an English class specifically for non-native speakers of English; and I tutored the students in these classes individually as well. For three semesters at Northeastern University I taught College Writing and Writing for Graduate School to both undergraduate and graduate international students. Many of the students that I tutor are non-native speakers; they have told me that I have helped them considerably.
As a college English instructor, I specialize in both Basic English and First Year English Composition. Both of these classes stress the fact that proper grammar is a vital component of all aspects of English writing. In my classes I focus on the grammar topics that present the most obvious problem, such as noun/verb/pronoun agreement, run-on sentences, and sentence fragments. Then I see what other problems seem to be evident in my students' writing assignments, or what problems seem to be troubling them the most. When I tutor, I focus on the individual student's grammar issues and work closely with the student to explain and clarify those issues.
I have had many years' experience working with students to prepare for both the SSAT and the ISEE. The students feel more confident about the test after we have discussed and reviewed the vocabulary, reading, and math sections together. They learn more about the strategies needed to improve their scores.
I have been teaching Public Speaking on the college level for five years. The course includes teacher's instruction and student participation in all types of speeches including personal statement, informative, persuasive, demonstrative and ceremonial speeches.
The SAT verbal section consists of essay writing, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and grammar. I have been working with high school students on all of these portions of the SAT for over ten years. I can help students with strategies that are specifically focused on the SAT. Also, as a college English instructor, I constantly work with my students to improve the skills needed to do well in English, and as a private tutor I in address each of my student's individual needs.

I have worked with many non-native speakers of English who are preparing to take the TOEFL exam. I understand and can explain all of the different sections, including reading, speaking, writing and listening skills.
As an English instructor for first year college students, I focus on teaching the basics of English writing and beyond. Starting with simple sentence and paragraph structure to essays and longer papers. I can work with students on all aspects of grammar, reading, and writing style. I work with students ages 10 to adult.
I recognize and work with the needs of each individual student

More dogs than kennels, it's a packed house at the Missoula County Animal Shelter.
And the number of pets right now depends on how quickly things move along in the court system.
For a litter of pit bull puppies, the shelter is home. They were born at the shelter in May after both their mom and dad were turned in, though not because they were strays.
The tags on their cages say it all -- 'Confiscated – Cruelty.'
"It puts a strain on the facility," said Animal Control Supervisor Jeffrey Darrah.
He said it's the story for about half the dogs in the shelter; pets taken from their homes during animal cruelty investigations. But they can't find a new home, or return to their old homes depending on the outcome, until the cases are resolved.
"We can't adopt them right now as the cases are adjudicated, then we can adopt them out," Darrah said.
So, for now, the dogs are stuck and pushing the shelter past its capacity. There are 24 kennels in the shelter, but right now there 27 dogs. A back room, typically reserved for vaccinations and sick pets, is also serving as an overflow area.
"It's kind of sad because a lot of people would like to come in and adopt them," Darrah said.
Housing extra animals can get expensive. In addition to all the dogs, the shelter is responsible for three horses from an animal cruelty case. There isn't room on-site so the shelter is shelling out about $15,000 a year to board them offsite, while the case goes through multiple appeals.
"It's a huge bite out of our budget," Darrah said.
People who want to donate to the shelter can go through Friends of the Shelter. Click here for more information.

Alarm hood pin placement
Hi. I'm looking to mount a hood pin for my alarm system and I was hoping someone could give me some ideas for placement. I have a 2003 ford focus zx5.
near the battery behind the headlight. i have one mounted there and if i can find my wifes phone i will take a quick pic of it for you.
I would love a pic! Thanks!
i prefer to use ball bearing switching. mount it to the hood itself. they fail less than the push style does. only downside is if you park on a hill it may bypass itself.
Ok. Thanks for the info

Slotboom receives USTFCCCA academic honors.
Slotboom earns spot on Dutch National Team.
Nikki Rietz and Katelyn Stringfellow named to All-Academic Second-Team.
Mergaert ends cross country career in perfect fashion.
Mergaert and Slotboom's performances boost Utah to second-best finish in school history.
Kyle Kepler is in his 11th year as the head coach of the Utah women's cross country and track & field programs. Kepler's organization and attention to detail have allowed him to develop a solid foundation and create a competitive program that has steadily improved each year.
Kepler has coached four athletes to All-America honors at Utah. Amanda Mergaert was a five-time All-American, with her career culminating in first-team honors in 2013 in the indoor mile and the outdoor 1,500 as well as cross country honors in 2012. Langley Iverson (2011, indoor high jump), Brianna LeRoy (2012, outdoor high jump), and Rosalie Waller (2014, outdoor 800) have also earned All-America honors at Utah under Kepler.
Under Kepler, the Utes have had 37 athletes post 78 NCAA Outdoor preliminary qualifying marks, and sent nine athletes to the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Mergaert (2011-13, 1,500) and Chelsea Shapard (2007-09, 400 hurdles) were both three-time NCAA attendees. Mergaert finished third in the 1,500 at NCAA's as a senior in 2013. She was the 2011 USTFCCCA Mountain Region Women's Track Athlete of the Year. Kepler increased Utah's NCAA Outdoor Regional Championships attendees from five in 2006 to 10 in 2013. The Utes have also sent two athletes to the NCAA Indoor Championships under Kepler. Mergaert (2012, mile) and Rebekah Winterton (2014, 5,000) have both won Mountain Pacific Sports Federation indoor track championships. Utah has set 17 outdoor and 13 indoor school records since 2006.
In cross country, Kepler has sent athletes to the NCAA Championships five times. Mergaert was a three-time cross country NCAA qualifier. The Utes have had five runners combine for seven all-region honors. Utah was ranked as high as fifth in the region in 2008.
During Utah's six years in the Mountain West Conference under Kepler, the Utes won nine outdoor conference titles and two indoor titles. Shapard was a three-time 400 hurdles outdoor champion. Utah earned 23 outdoor and 20 indoor All-MWC honors.
Kepler's influence on his student-athletes is not just visible on the track, but also in the classroom. His cross country teams have earned USTFCCCA All-Academic Team honors eight years while his track teams have earned honors five times. His athletes have combined for 38 individual honors from the USTFCCCA between track and cross country. Lauren Endersen was a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American in 2008 and 2009, while Waller earned honors in 2014. Since Utah joined the Pac-12 in 2011-12, the Utes have earned 36 all-academic cross country and 63 all-academic track accolades, in addition to 62 MPSF all-academic honors.
Kepler is in his 17th year coaching at the NCAA Division I level. Prior to coming to Utah, Kepler served as Northern Iowa's head men's and women's cross country coach and assistant track and field coach for two seasons. He was on staff at UNI for a total of seven years, serving as an assistant cross country coach for five years prior to being named head coach in 2003. Kepler was named the Missouri Valley Conference Men's Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2003 after leading the Panthers to a MVC title. The Panthers won 12 MVC titles among cross country and indoor and outdoor track during his tenure with the Panthers.

A moving set-up piece (well, it's actually not moving, for a change) from Toronto, where the Argos are anxious to find out about their new starting quarterback, and the Lions are a tad ticked about a bit of roster skull-duggery involving a practice roster player that doesn't always surface. Want more? You'll either have to wait for the paper and another great Angus Reid piece, or our 12 noon Tuesday live Lions chat here at theprovince.com, or click the video.

"I don't know of anything else we could have done. Our major concern is the safety of our children."
"We understand the concern of the parents. Our first concern, of course, was the safety of the children. When TSU informed us that the building was dangerous, we moved very quickly to relocate the children. Officials here have worked many hours since then to find a permanent home for MCTC and have had many discussions with parents to keep them updated on the search."
"There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind."
"Courage is what preserves our liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents, our country and children. Courage comprises all things."
"We should be just as concerned about women's safety as we are about their rights. I've been stunned by the comments that some women have to pay the price of death so that women can have abortions."

Everything was acceptable for my stay
I was skeptical about booking this hotel. When I arrived the room was clean and comfortable. The hallways smelled like smoke however my room didn't. There were plenty places to eat surrounding the hotel. The breakfast was decent. I only stayed for 1 night and it wad worth it.
The smoke smelled hallways and the ice pails didn't have plastic liners that a lil unsanitary.

Development of methods for gene targeting in human ES cells
Gene targeting refers to the practice of introducing genetic modifications to cells with the goal to inactivate a specific gene or alter its biochemical properties. Over the last twenty years, this has been a major approach that investigators use to delineate in vivo function of genes in the mouse, the mammalian genetic model organism. Unfortunately, gene targeting technologies for human ES cells are still immature. Here we propose to develop and optimize the method for gene targeting in several widely used human ES cell lines. We will compare a conventional method routinely used for gene targeting in mouse ES cells and an recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus (rAAV)-based method that is increasingly being used for gene targeting in human somatic cell but not yet in human ES cells. We will first compare the time requirement, experimental complexity and efficiency of these two methods in knocking out one test gene in five human ES cell lines. We will experiment with various parameters in an attempt to optimize stable transfection and gene targeting frequency across different human ES cell lines. Once we identify the best protocol for gene targeting, we will apply the method to targeting of eight genes in human ES cells, to determine the robustness and generality of our gene targeting method. Successful completion of this project will lead to a robust and generally applicable gene targeting method for human ES cells. Such a tool will be critical for understanding the functional roles of various genes in ES cell proliferation and differentiation. It will also greatly facilitate the development of ES cell based therapeutics by, for example, enabling the repairing of faulty genes in patient specific ES cells or induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.
The overall aim of this application is to develop a robust and generally applicable gene targeting method for use in human ES cells. Development of such technology is highly significant if we are to achieve the full potential of human ES cells as a tool for both therapeutic development and basic research. It will enable the repairing of faulty genes in patient specific ES cells or induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, thereby speeding up the development of ES cell based therapeutic strategies. Further, the ability to inactivate or modify gene function in human ES cells will permit scientists to define roles of genes in self-renewal or differentiation of these cells, which is crucial for a clear understanding of the ES cell biology and ultimately developing better diagnostics and therapeutic tools.

On July 1, the FHFA Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a report containing its assessment of FHFA controls to ensure that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac monitor nonbank special servicer performance and mitigate related risks. The report concluded that the FHFA has not established a risk management process to handle risks resulting from specialty servicers' (i) use of short-term financing to buy servicing rights for troubled mortgage loans that may only begin to pay out after long-term work to resolve their difficulties; and (ii) obtaining large volumes of mortgage loans that may be beyond what their infrastructures can handle. The OIG asserted that such risks "are amplified by nonbank special servicers operating without the same standards and regulation as banks that service mortgage loans," including capital requirements, which the OIG believes makes nonbank servicers "more susceptible to economic downturns" that could "substantially increase nonperforming loans that require servicer loss mitigation while at the same time impact[ing] the ability of the servicer to perform." The OIG recommended that the FHFA (i) issue guidance on a risk management process for nonbank special servicers and (ii) develop a comprehensive, formal oversight framework to examine and mitigate the risks these nonbank special servicers pose. The report highlighted recent FHFA guidance that the OIG believes is sufficient to resolve the second recommendation—a June 11, 2014 FHFA Advisory Bulletin outlining supervisory expectations for risk management practices in conjunction with the sale and transfer of mortgage servicing rights or the transfer of the operational responsibilities of servicing mortgage loans owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Bulletin requires Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to consider servicer capacity, including staffing, facilities, information technology systems, and any sub-servicing arrangements, as part of the analysis of mortgage servicing transfers. The FHFA agreed to also develop supervisory guidance on how Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac manage risks associated with servicing troubled loans.

Construction workers cautiously resumed drilling a tunnel for King County's Brightwater sewage-treatment plant Monday afternoon after seeing no sign of settling in or around a sinkhole that swallowed the driveway of a Kenmore home a day earlier.
Construction workers cautiously resumed drilling a sewage tunnel Monday afternoon after seeing no sign of settling in or around a sinkhole that swallowed the driveway of a Kenmore home a day earlier.
Observers were watching the sinkhole and using survey devices to detect even slight movements in the soil 150 feet above the tunnel that will carry treated sewage from King County's Brightwater sewage-treatment plant to Puget Sound.
"We're standing by to watch for it and backfill if we need to," Judy Cochran, a Brightwater construction manager, said after a 16-½-foot-wide <137,2009/3/9/17/13/26,kervin>CQ<137> tunnel-boring machine drilled another 5 feet of tunnel.
Kenmore resident Pauline Chihara discovered a 30-foot-wide, 15-foot-deep sinkhole early Sunday in front of her house at 61st Avenue Northeast and Northeast 195th Street.

Cochran said the sinkhole apparently was caused by the boring machine pulling in too much sand over a 20- to 25-foot stretch, leaving a void that allowed the soft soil to collapse.
"They need to balance the pressure at the face of the tunnel-boring machine against the groundwater and the ground pressure that's in front of them, so they can excavate exactly that size of hole, and not bigger and not smaller," Cochran said.
The sinkhole opened up nearly 1-½ miles west of the North Kenmore tunnel portal, where a construction worker died in November 2006 after he was struck by a steel beam while a noise barrier was being built.
Vinci/Parsons/Frontier-Kemper, a joint venture, is digging the Kenmore portion of the 13-mile tunnel that will carry treated sewage from the $1.8 billion Brightwater plant north of Woodinville to a Puget Sound outfall at Point Wells.
In December the state Department of Ecology (DOE) issued a notice of violation to King County after a series of tunnel-related mishaps in August, September and October stirred up more mud and caustic sediment than allowed in Bothell's Horse Creek and downstream in the Sammamish River.
The DOE said pressurized air shot into the creek, stirring up sediment after escaping from a tunnel-boring machine 160 feet below the creek. The air was pressurized to prevent an area in front of the machine from collapsing while workers did routine maintenance to the face of the boring machine, Cochran said.
King County's wastewater director, Christie True, responded to the DOE that the county and the contractor had taken steps intended to prevent damage to other creeks and to repair damage that might have harmed fish and other animal life in Horse Creek.
True contended the accidents didn't violate water-quality laws because they were "caused by an upset condition, outside of the immediate control of the county and contractor."
The DOE has not issued a final order.
