Clock --Compass Design
Posted by
| Mar 27, 2010 @ 03:15 AM | 2,667 Views
have been making cockpits and instrument panels since last year.And this year I am making more new things for fun and to satisfy my curiosity.
This clock is my latest product, which panel is from real instrument panel design, it is compass. I can change it other panel as well.
The most hard parts are hands. I cant find the right hands for this clock, all are over 7 cm long, so I have to trim the originals and painted them again.

It was my first time to see a dog sleeping like this.

I had never seen a dog sleeping so relaxed.
At first, it was sleeping like its brother--sleeping on belly, then I tickled it, he turned around and lying on back, then ...you can see.

I am thinking of painting a canopy. Most of the paint scheme dont attract me. I found below picture which has blue fire looks very beautiful but I dont know how to make it. I worked out a method to make it but I dont think it is the best way to paint.
Could you share your idea how to make it?

Finally, my fuse was done. I feel it is beautiful but my friends said it is not colorful enough and the heli should be colorful. My colleague said he would fly it.
The body is supposed to be pure white but some places are yellow white--it is too dirty to be cleaned. Except this part, my handcraft isnot bad, I think.

Finally, my fuselage is done.
I cleaned the fuselage yesterday afternoon. Very very dirty. Everybody said they had never ever seen so dirty fuselage.
This morning I arranged the techincian to paint vanish. Painting vanish is very skilled work. I dare not to let my 50-day-hardwork to be ruined by myself.
I saw it in the afternoon.Very beautiful!But only the body was done. The vertical fin is on my table still which need to be cleaned after the holiday and horizontal fin --I hadnot touched yet since it is pure white I can leave it to the workers.
My colleague asked my feeling on doing this fuselage. I told him if I didnt do it myself, I would never understand each step and know how workers do the job. I learned a new skill which I never thinked I would learned one year ago.
And this fuselage, I will fly it myself.

***28 Apr 2009
The May Day Holiday is coming and factory is closed from Fri but my fuse is still not finished yet.
I spent more time on it these 2 days but it seemed there was no progress at all. The details on the fuse almost killed me.
The fuse was dirty, so dirty and I didnt know where the dust came from. I cleaned the surface carefully on one side and then cleaned the other side, then I found the cleaned side became dirty again,even had my finger print on!
For this special reason, I worked on the details first then moved to clean it. The details was done today.
Now I dont know whether I should clean it tomorrow. If I do it, Friday one day is not enough for the last step and it has to wait for another 3 days, I am afraid it will be dirty again.
If I dont clean it, I am afriad it will be too dirty to be cleaned after 5 days.

I over estimated my ability. The fuse is still under the "construction".
The letter and bird were painted but due to my skills problems, some parts of the letter looked like to be eaten by worms where should be painted again and some paint was sprayed too much which must be removed by sandpaper carefully.
The biggest errand for now was to clean the whole body--too much dust, finger prints and little paint. My colleague said the fuselage looked like to be put in the trash can for long time.
I believed I could finish it within this week but now, I hope I can finish it next week.

Since we rushed the orders, my fuselage had to wait till 2 days ago.
It was hard to tell the really color of the bird from picture, I had to look for the right color on their website. I used Pantone to match the color and arranged the painting techinician to prepare the paint.
The body and wing were done yesterday. The letter of "Fly My Sky" and "T N " on the vertical fin brought me big headache !
4 hours! The key points were the letter size and where to put the letter. I repeated the drawing work again and again. This simple work made me sweat and tired.
After the letter was done, I sent it to paint. After that, there is the bill and eyes of the bird, then OPV.
Next week, I hope I can finish it.

There were two of F-16 being installed these days, so my heli had to wait. It had been lying there for more than 2 days and it will lie there another 5 days.
The winner of the poll was done. I took the photo.

The body of the bird was painted yesterday. The next is the wings and part of the vertical fin because the color are the same.
Since there havent any colors which is similar to the color of the wings, the painter has to make new color.
I went to the workshop to check how was the other winner of the poll, and took some photos. One is the winner which was waiting for drying after OPV, the other is the H-500D queuing up to be packed.

The fuse was ready to be painted. It has 4 colors including the letters.
I left the one single color places and the rest places were covered by paper. The procedures is:
1. The left places was painting tomorrow.
2. After drying, cover the painted places and remove the paper on other places and painted again.
3. After drying, stick the letter on the fuse, cover the other places, paint again
4. then the bird'bill and eyes
5. the last step is OPV
At first, I wanted to stick the letter as well but found the size of the letter was smaller and font was not correct. So did it again tomorrow.

Finally, the shape of the bird passed!!! I was sooooooo happy!
Yesterday, I used the new paper bird to build the bird on the other side of the fuse. Almost 2 hours! But still couldt get through.
I spent a lot of time on how to make the line look like a smooth curve which couldnot have a little twist.
This morning, I used almost 1 hour to finishe the rest of the lines and another 1 hour to make the 2 sides of the bird look symmetrically. It was really a test for your patience. I pleased my colleague to do it for me but he was resolving the problems of the tailor-made jets. No time again!
But now I see the light of the dawn!

After dealing with all the routin works, I went to the workshop and started over my fuse again in the morning. This time without any help of the technician.
I sticked the paper bird on it after cleaning the surface of the fuse. I cut the paper,adjusted the details, drew lines and erased the lines. Over and over again. Half an hour later, I felt my work was done then I started to use tape to outline the shape of the bird.
Showed to my colleague.I had to say my colleague was so strict that he couldnot accept any defects.
I kept on making it after lunch. I even cut a new paper bird to refresh my view. But 40 mins later I was driven to my wit's end and asked for help. I supposed my colleague would finish the bird on the fuse but actually he drew me a 3D painting. His excuse was he was busying in working on the details of AS350.
A little disappointed!

My colleague said he gave me 3 days to finish the correct the bird pattern yesterday. I didnt believe it. But the fact approved I was wrong.
I always saw technicians to make the lines of Bell 222, Agusta 109A, etc. , I knew how but wondered how to make the bird. Now I knew:
1. Print out the bird and cut the shape. Use stick to paste the paper on the heli.
2. Draw lines alone the shape of the bird.
3. Remove the paper
4. Use tape to trim the shape of the bird
5. After finishing one side of the heli, the other side was done by same method.
I spent one hour to watch the technician to do one side for me and spent another one hour to do the other side by myself. I felt I did a good job because I finished 2 hours only not 3 days. Moreover , they looked pretty.
I showed the heli to my colleague proudly. He asked whether I was ready since he only gave me one day one chance to let him check my work. If failed, I had to wait till tomrrow.
After comparing the lines on the heli and the photo and he told me I must re-do it again. The reason is as follows:
1. From the same angle to look the heli, the bird was longer and shorter.
2. The wing was higher than the original.
For what he said, I had nothing to say but to do it again tomorrow.

The front body was done, very nice handcraft-
The designer drew the pattern of the bird. So I can start the bird and the word tomorrow.
My colleague said I need at least 3 days to make the bird. I dont believe it! I planned to finish it in one day and then paint it.
After the bird and word are done, my fuse is being my colleage's guinea pig. He is going to make something new on the fuse which have never been done on heli.

Usually, before painting colors, there are 2 layers of coating on the fuse, one is primer, the other is white paint.
The back body was painted white paint yesterday afternoon and polished carefully this morning.
Polishing white paint is a skilled work. If too hard, the white paint is polished too thin, then have to paint the white paint again, that means I have to wait another 2 days to get it done. If too gentle, it need longer time to finish the work. Fortunately, the white painted was done beatuifully which didnt need to be polished too much. I used 400# sand paper to polish the surface iin order to make the surface smoother. While polishing, I found 3 pin holes. The technician told me they need to be mended and re-painted again!!!
After knowing it, I took the fuse to my colleague to look for shortcut. I was really really mad after hearing what he said. He said:"You have no choice but to do it again".
I have a few things to do next week:
1. The front body was painting the white paint and can be polished on Mon.
2. Arrange designer to draw the color scheme in the computer on Mon.
3. Tell the relative Dept to keep one set of vertical and horizantol fins for me.
By the way, I saw the other winner of the poll in the workshop, very beautiful! I attach the pic of the heli, the real heli looks much prettier! Tomorrow I am going to play wargame with friends.

Red Cabbage Slaw with Truffle Dressing
I've had this recipe in mind for a couple of weeks since we received a red cabbage from Green Buffalo Food. Every time I opened the fridge, it would remind me that I have to make something with it, and soon. Even after two weeks (and being organic) I was shocked that it was still in great condition. Whew!
Original recipe
Red Cabbage Slaw with Truffle Dressing
1 red cabbage, sliced, then chopped
1 bell pepper, any variety, sliced thin
6-8 green onions, sliced
1/2 C Vegenaise
3 Tbs Tofutti sour cream
1 Tbs nutritional yeast
1 Tbs balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp truffle oil
1/2 tsp celery salt
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/8 black pepper
1 Tbs water
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, bell pepper, and green onions. In a smaller bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and coat well. Enjoy!

Complexity and Efficiency in Repeated Games and Negotiation
This paper considers the 'negotiation game' (Busch and Wen [4]) which combines the features of two-person alternating offers and repeated games. Despite the forces of bargaining, the negotiation game in general admits a large number of equilibria, some of which involve delay in agreement and inefficiency. In order to isolate equilibria in this game, we explicitly consider the complexity of implementing a strategy, introduced in the literature on repeated games played by automata. It turns out that when the players have a preference for less complex strategies (even at the margin) only efficient equilibria survive. Thus, complexity and bargaining in tandem may offer an explanation for co-operation in repeated games.

Is the Rainforest of Argentina like Avatar Come to Life?
I'm going to venture into the Argentina rainforest with only a machete and a Speedo. This is my blessing; this is my curse. I'll consist entirely on a diet of red ants and dreams. One man will enter (the rainforest) and one man will exit (the rainforest).
Or something like that.
Regardless of the Speedo, its time for a little jungle/waterfall excursion in the region of Iguaza, Located in the northern part of Argentina, along the border with Brazil and Paraguay, my friends at Say Hueque Tours set me good. Like surf and turf, I'm taking one of their most popular eco-travel expeditions. Be forewarned: Parque National Iguazu boasts 275 waterfalls. Let me say that again: 275 waterfalls. That's practically one waterfall for everyone. (In a group of 275.) My point: there're enough waterfalls to go around for everyone.
IGUAZU FALLS FACT: The 275 waterfalls traverse along 1.67 miles of the Iguazu River. Some of the individual falls are 269 feet in height. The spectacle of nature wonderment was featured in the film sequel, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. By the way, I hated that movie.
Welcome to the Jungle. Dangling vines. That fresh rainforest smell. 250 species of butterflies. Guys calling me "Chico". Crazy insects bite my legs. (I hope I don't turn into a Marvel Comics superhero.) Our tour guide points out blue fruit that the indigenous people used to paint their faces. I'd welcome an unexpected blow dart to the neck. It wouldn't be surprising (my fingers are crossed) to see a rat the size of a Doberman pincher scurry across the Argentina rainforest. The jungle is inhabited with loads of coatimundis. (Raccoon-like animals that have sort of an anteater's nose.) Our guide informs: "These creatures bite and are everywhere." The rainforest is also home to such inhabitants as tapers, sloths, pumas, and jaguars. (They mostly come out at dusk when the park closes.) This is one place where you'd punch someone in the throat if they ever said the words, "Drill, baby drill." I crave to be greeted by the cast of Avatar? In fact, the rainforest is just like Avatar—and in 3-D as well. Welcome to Pandora!
This is my second expedition into the rainforest on the Say Hueque eco-tour. Yesterday I spent my time repelling down a cliff on the side of a raging river gorge. Excellent! That was preceded by zip-lining along a cable high over the tops of jungle trees—swinging like a mad monkey from a vine. Outstanding! (Zip-lining, by the way, will be the main mode of transportation in 2012.) Later we passed bananas, papayas and shanty structures with makeshift soccer posts in the center. Little kids from villages ran to the road and waved. A true Indiana Jones type of day. (Minus the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.)
Continuing our trek towards Iguazu Falls, we pass thick brush and an old abandoned hotel. Nature is winning the battle. Vines and plants grow up the walls and in between the cracks of the foundation. In the end, nature always wins the battle.
Our guide informs: "In the 1920's, they used to walk through the jungle with big machetes to get to the falls while the ladies in long dresses would sit on the porches of the hotel and sip tea."
Skip ahead to 2010. No machetes needed. We simply follow the signs through the rainforest and stay on the designated path in order to make our way to the falls.
"Toilet is the last tree. Shower is free," says a man on the path moving in the opposite direction. What does this mean? Is he foreshadowing events to come?
And then comes the 275 waterfalls………..
Holy flippin' crap! I'm a very jaded person but I'm simply blown away! This has got to be one of the most amazing sites I've seen outside of the original Star Wars trilogy. There's waterfalls side-by-side with even more waterfalls. Some waterfalls are within waterfalls. They fall into yet another waterfall. Long waterfalls. Short waterfalls. Wide waterfalls. Skinny waterfalls. It's purely waterfall mental. One waterfall would be enough to blow my mind, but with 275 waterfalls my head is ready to explode. Dramatic cliffs mix with the lush greens of the jungle rainforest. The reverberating sound of crashing water echoes throughout. A constant spray of light mist. Mix that with rainbows everywhere. Yes, refracting light transposed in the form of rainbows is added to the magical landscape. Unbelievable.
"Birds live in nests behind the falls," our guide informs. "They float through the waterfalls to their nest and mate in the air—very fast."
I feel like former first-lady Eleanor Roosevelt. When upon seeing Iguazu Falls, she exclaimed "Poor Niagara." Indeed—the two aren't even in the same league of waterfalls spectaculars. The most impressive waterfall is called the Devil's Throat, or Garganta del Diablo. Marking the border with Brazil, this U-shaped beast has a 269-foot drop and comes crashing down like a cascade of abundant, freshly popped popcorn. Large clouds of mist rise from the scene. This is soooo much better than visiting San Francisco's biggest tourist attraction: Alcatraz. Turning a corner in the rainforest, there's yet another fortress of waterfalls with more rainbows hovering over the proceedings. Rainbows over rainbows. Falls over falls.
IGUAZU FALLS FACT: In July 2006 the drought made the falls completely dry. Our guide tells us: "You wouldn't believe it, but it looked like the Grand Canyon."
How can one enhance their spectacular Iguazu Falls experience? By taking a boat ride on the River Rio Iguazu that ventures under the fricken' falls. It's a must! While most of my fellow tour crew has purchased makeshift plastic raincoats, I decide to rough without water protection. (Will I regret this later by having wet underwear?) The bottom line: when riding a small boat under a cascading waterfall everyone is going to get drenched. Putting on my lifejacket, I notice a sign by the boats that mentions in Spanish: No Personas con Problemas de Columna. (I sure hope that doesn't apply to me.) With thrill-seekers in place, our motorboat embarks full steam directly towards one of the 275 waterfalls. It's pretty darn massive. The waterfall sprays the entire crew with the pressure of a really good hotel shower. Oh my god! I'm laughing uncontrollably like a child. This is better than any Disneyland water ride. Shrieks of laughter. Sprays of water. Whooshing of the falls. Our boat then makes a massive U-turn. And it's………right back into the waterfall once again. Flippin' hell! There's another rainbow. There's Brazil. There's me laughing like a little kid. After the journey, I walk around the rest of the afternoon with wet underwear. (Something I haven't done since that one really wild backyard barbeque back in 2003.)
A perfect end of the day is back at La Aldea De La Selva Lodge. The place is an incredible feat of landscape architecture that mixes first class accommodation with the isolated feeling like you are tucked away in the middle of the jungle. Lush green trees and vegetation engulf the comfortable lodges amongst a tranquil sound of tropical silence. For dinner I opt not to have the delicious local fish wrapped in banana leaves (there will be another day), and instead have the largest, thickest Argentinean steak they have along with a glass of their reddest wine. Then I reflect on the Taj Mahal of waterfalls.

The droll asides. That boisterous innocence of an America gone by. Characters confiding to us their desire for something more in life than drudgery, or complacency.
All are signs that Thornton Wilder wrote "The Matchmaker."
Wilder was never content to repeat himself, so there's none of the rural poignancy of his masterwork "Our Town" in this comic roundelay, nor any of the apocalyptic absurdities of "The Skin of Our Teeth."
In the mid-1950s, the Pulitzer Prize-honored author surprised Broadway with this shiny gift of classic farce, American-style, which later inspired the hit musical "Hello, Dolly!"
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Infections are the culprit in Alzheimer's disease, Harvard study suggests
- 1,000 fraternity, sorority members trash Lake Shasta campsite
Most Read Stories
Once it finds its groove, "The Matchmaker" dates well in Taproot Theatre's genial revival. The production enjoyably conveys the high-spirited antics which, in Wilder's words, permit "suspension of decorum and the retaliation of the underdog."
There is a cluster of appealing underdogs here, and only one top dog.
The top underdog is Dolly Gallagher Levi, a briskly enlightened 1880s Manhattan widow played vivaciously and craftily by Pam Nolte. Mrs. Levi scrapes by as a fixer of various things, including matrimony. But she's getting weary of the hustle, and when wealthy, insufferably cantankerous Yonkers merchant Horace Vandergelder (Robert Gallaher) hires her to find him a wife, Dolly has a prospect in mind — herself.
As Dolly plots and feigns, Horace's browbeaten young minions Cornelius (Robert Hinds) and Barnaby (Brad Walker) rebel. On a lark, these wide-eyed innocents play hooky in New York City. As the farce wheel turns, they collide in a fancy Manhattan cafe and in the parlor of an excitable society matron (Kim Morris), with Horace and the shrewd Dolly as well as a feisty milliner, Irene Malloy (Natalie Anne Moe).
Naturally, hiding in closets, diving under tables and cross-dressing ensue.
Wilder approached farce as a mathematical challenge of "development, pattern and logic." Borrowing from Wilde and Moliere, his own pattern made room for witty soliloquies and moral ambiguity, as well as archetypal gags and subterfuges.
He also tucked into "The Matchmaker" a critique of mercantile greed, of amassing wealth for its own sake. Dolly famously compares money with manure: The more cash spread around, the more misery it alleviates and joy it unleashes.
Director Scott Nolte adeptly arrays a sizable cast and their gags on Taproot's cozy stage. Sarah Burch Gordon's bustled, ruffled gowns for the ladies look marvelous. Mark Lund's scenic backdrop, while picturesque, clashes with the interior locales. (The Harmonia Gardens bistro isn't posh enough.)
One regrettable gap: The ensemble needs a more commanding Horace than Gallaher's tentative, lackluster one. Too bad he doesn't display the comic agility of his cohorts, especially Morris, the lovable Hinds and Walker, and Nolte's winning Dolly.

NEW YORK, NY (KXAN) - This video's magnetic, mainly because it's captivating.
Five wingsuit flyers got to check something major off their bucket list: skydiving one of the world's most recognizable skylines.
Using new wingsuit technology, the jumpers flew two miles in just two minutes over Manhattan, according to Red Bull's YouTube post.
They soared at speeds of more than 118 mph over New York City.

Edit Article
How to Lose Weight and Eat Healthier
Have you tried all those fad diets, starved yourself hungry, but still have gotten no results? Do you want to feel better about yourself and look good too? While there is no way to starve yourself slim, you can eat healthier and lose weight.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Always drink water before you eat a meal because you will be more full and you won't need to eat all of that food and instead you will have water which consists of no calories.
2Get rid of all that junk food. Throw every unhealthy thing away, or if you can't bring yourself to do that, then store in somewhere you won't find it appealing. One way or another, if you're going to eat healthy, that junk has got to go!
3ALWAYS eat breakfast! Have you ever broken the word down? Break-the-fast. Don't eat three meals throughout the day; eat 5-6 small, proportioned ones.
4If you have strong will power, you can skip this step if you want. If you aren't, then here are a few substitute foods. If you're a bread fiend, instead of eating white bread, try whole wheat. If you love ice-cream, try freezing fruits and then eating them.
5You will need to exercise. Try starting off with 15-20 sit ups a day and maybe 5-10 push ups. Don't strain yourself to do more than you actually can!
6Find some active friends that will drag you out.
7While you're watching TV and there's a commercial, stretch or run around the house. If you're at the computer all day long, try taking 5 minute breaks and stretch.
8If you don't buy the junk food you won't have it to snack on. But, be sure you have something healthy to reach for to calm that snack habit.
9Practice eating actual portion sizes. Soon it will come naturally. All containers list portion sizes, so, you can actually measure the portions to get an idea of their true size. You will be amazed.
10Be sure to eat a protein with complex carbohydrates (breads, potatoes, pasta, etc.) to balance the sugar absorption which will help prevent carb. cravings.
11If you decide to switch to Whole Wheat bread, try taking it one step further to whole grain, which contains less sugar and more fiber. Whole Grain bread is nice and crunchy and more filling.
12Be sure to drink plenty of non-caffeine fluids every day, about 8 glasses.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Eat healthy snacks like apples or carrot sticks if you're dying to munch on something.
- If you need to eat something sweet, try brushing your teeth, then everything that tastes sweet will taste bitter. Or, try gum. Never chew sugar-free gum. Such gums have sugar replacements, such as xylitol.
- Smaller portions are just as filling if you slow down.
- You don't have to cut yourself off immediately from all that junk, but enjoy it in moderation.
- Recruit others to help you along you process, as they can be a great support.
- Do not shop groceries when you're hungry, you might end up buying junk that you might end up eating.
- Don't go overboard. It's okay to enjoy sweets in moderation.

I'm currently in Austin, participating in the annual meeting of the IBM Academy of Technology.
In an organization as large, deep, and broad as IBM, one on-going challenge is the exploitation of cross-divisional and cross-discipline integration. The Academy is an essential mechanism for IBM to bring this kind of integration about, primarily by throwing many of IBM's best and brightest into one mix so that connections can be made at deep technical levels. I just finished listening to a fascinating presentation on nanotechnology - where else could a software geek like me hear about the latest developments in this space, and get a coverage of the points of pain therein? Very high cool factor.
On a more pragmatic level, I connected with some of the folks who have pioneered performance and timing analysis tools for IBM's chip business. This is a field that's not only mature, but is pretty much at the core of all contemporary chip development processes. It didn't always use to be that way, but as the complexity of chips has grown, such best practices have proven essential to managing that complexity. In contrast, performance and timing analysis is highly underserved in most software shops except in obvious domains such as time-sensitive embedded systems. By way of reference, check out the pioneering work of Lloyd Williams and Connie Smith on performance engineering.

A pull-up bar is a good idea! Course - you're getting all buff in the gym anyway so maybe you don't need it.
Ran 11 miles today. It wasn't very pretty near the end, but it's done and I'm excited! It's the first time since I started running in 2007 that I have run anything further than 10 miles without taking walk breaks. I took a few water breaks, but didn't walk any of the distance. Every step was run. So happy!
And I'm typing this on my new Chromebook. I like it. There are few things that are different from a laptop that I don't like - haven't figured out how to save websites to the desktop and there's no home key on the keyboard - BUT, there IS a Z and an X and a 6 so I'm thrilled! And it's FAST! Things that took minutes on my Toshitba only take seconds on this thing. It's super small and weighs next to nothing. I'm quite happy with it right now.
Wow! congrats on the 11 miles! That's a LONG way to run!!! Heck, that's a long way to drive!
Haha it IS a ling way to drive. Lol I kind of had the thought yesterday that this running shit was for the birds and I was going to get a bike instead. Lol
On another note... holy oodles of zoodles!!
That's a cool thingymajig!
It's called a spiral slicer. It's on sale on Amazon for $22.50 right now... sadly, when I bought mine, they were $32 or so. Grab it now.
*I'm talking to you, Sabine!!!
So I just realized I only have 20 lbs before I hit my high goal, 30 lbs if I continue on to my low goal... I thought I'd never see the day I'd get this close! Thanks, Mark, for your Primal Blueprint!!!
Wow, Jenn,that is fantastic!

Blogging Tips From An A-Lister
Rob May built BusinessPundit.com from scratch to one of the top 3,000 blogs on the planet at one point according to Technorati. A co-founder of the Carnival of the Capitalists and one of the first business bloggers in the blogosphere, Rob started blogging in 2003 when Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit.com ignored his business submissions. Suffice to say, he has some wisdom when it comes to blogging. As his final days at BusinessPundit.com approach (he's sold the blog), Rob sat down with Social Media Explorer to give aspiring bloggers out there some pointers on hitting the A-List.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3lvk5R390Q[/youtube]

My 2011 NHL Draft Top-30
Jonathan Willis
June 23 2011 10:03AM
I know the hockey world is swamped with mock drafts and top-30 lists at the moment, but I thought I'd add one more – mine. This is not a mock draft; rather, this is how I rank the players I feel are the top-30 prospects for tomorrow's draft.
The Final Tally: The Vanek Offer Sheet
Jonathan Willis
June 22 2011 10:48PM
In the summer of 2007, then-Oilers general manager Kevin Lowe made a pair of bold moves, signing first Thomas Vanek and then Dustin Penner to offer sheets. The Oilers eventually added Penner after much grumbling from the Ducks, but only after the offer sheet to Vanek was matched by Buffalo.
Four years later, we're finally in a position to know exactly what Lowe would have surrendered, had Buffalo not opted to match the Oilers' offer sheet. I'll put it this way: they dodged a bullet.
Rumours & Speculation About Rough & Tumble Players
Jonathan Willis
June 22 2011 06:29PM
Way back in the summer of 2009, with the Oilers coming off a season that failed to live up to the expectations of the coach, the fans, and general manager Steve Tambellini, a need was identified. At the same press conference where Tambellini announced that the Oilers and Craig MacTavish had made a "mutual" decision to part ways, he made repeated statements about the team's grit – how he wanted it to be better, how he wanted to see emotion, how he wanted the Oilers to be "hard to play against."
It's a quest that continues in the present. After the jump, we'll look at three players – a rough and tumble NHL right wing and a nasty NHL depth player, as well as a WHL enforcer the Oilers might be looking at in this year's draft.
Robin Brownlee
June 22 2011 12:22PM
ST. PAUL, Minnesota -- I don't imagine Steve Tambellini's flight had been on the tarmac for very long when his phone started ringing. I don't expect it'll stop until he selects Ryan Nugent-Hopkins with the first pick of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft Friday.
Risk Aversion
June 22 2011 06:53AM
One of the key elements in the recent success of the Edmonton Oilers at the draft table: reducing risk.

How Much Data Up/Down Does D3 Use?Posted 13 Jan 2012 by
One of our forum regulars, Glass, used Rubbernet to measure how much data he was sending and receiving while playing the Diablo 3 Beta. The program gave him precise measurements of how much bandwidth the game uses, and in his forum post, Glass shares the results.
The verdict? Surprisingly little data is exchanged during play, even during a four-player game. Much less than you'd use doing almost anything else online, including checking email or surfing.
Check Glass' thread for additional screen caps that show the exact stats. This seems like good news for players with slow connections or a limited bandwidth allotment. Especially since just playing single player is not an option with Diablo III.

A chef in the Netherlands has come up with a novel solution for peeling apples when in a hurry.
After receiving a large order for his tarte tatin, Jasper van Ramhorst turned to DIY when he could not find a kitchen appliance to do the job.
Colleagues at the Eetcafé de Gribus restaurant filmed the head chef using a power drill to peel his way through a pile of apples in seconds.
The video shows him sticking the apples on the end of the drill and resting a peeler against them as they spin at high speed.
Genius, right? Please SHARE with fellow APPLE lovers! Let there be more apple pies!!

Under the Dome – Recap: Sleight of Hand
Recap and review of Under the Dome – Season 1 Episode 9 – The Fourth Hand:
For an episode as steeped in the mythology of the Dome as this, "The Fourth Hand" was a particularly tiresome episode of Under the Dome. While we certainly got substantial plot movement, and a little bit more information about the lingering mysteries of the season so far, those positives were offset by an absurd set of developments that derail the plot in some cases, while wounding whatever confidence I had for this series going forward. Let's get to the recap and explore what went wrong:
First and foremost, the central conceit of the townspeople willingly sacrificing their firearms when not even a week has passed since Chester's Mill exploded in a fit of riots and violence is ridiculous. Of course, the ridiculousness of this development is somewhat leavened by Big Jim (Dean Norris) offering extra food in exchange for anyone who would comply. But, as we inevitably learn, while Big Jim was the one who initially proposed the idea for the voluntary firearm surrender to Linda (Natalie Martinez) and Barbie (Mike Vogel), it wasn't actually his idea. It was all concocted by Max (Natalie Zea), a shady associate of both Big Jim and Barbie, though neither man knows of the other's connection to the woman. As it turns out, she's been under the dome the entire time, and has been hiding out in an empty house near the border of the dome. Naturally, when you have a contained series like Under the Dome or Lost, you run into the problem of how to introduce new characters in a place that is unreachable, and the answer is always that you introduce characters whom we later learn were always there. This was the case with Nikki and Paolo on Lost, and it's the case with Max here, and it's not really something I mind all that much, since the population of Chester's Mill is well into the hundreds (if not thousands), so there are bound to be people whom we just haven't met yet.
For instance, there's Ted (Raheem Babalola), a widower whose wife and son were killed when they crashed into the dome eight days earlier. As a result, he's severely traumatized and is hoarding a cache of firearms to defend his property. When this leads to Ted accidentally shooting a neighbor while defending his home from a druggie who's addicted to a new super-drug called "Rapture," Big Jim and Barbie go on a mission to get Ted to surrender his guns willingly. It's a plot that seems designed to not only bring Barbie and Big Jim closer together, but to further flesh out the town of Chester's Mill and its citizens. But it just never manages to get all that interesting, even when Big Jim is trying to negotiate with Ted and talk him out of committing suicide, all while Barbie has his sniper rifle trained on both men from a tree outside, ready to fire if anything goes awry. Big Jim is able to save the day by wrestling a grenade away from Ted and placing the pin back in before it blows them sky-high, but the only real worthwhile development is Big Jim deciding to commandeer Ted's entire cache of weapons for himself, storing them in the bunker while Junior (Alexander Koch) secretly looks on. Big Jim will need the guns, especially since he now has a new threat to worry about in the form of Max.
As we learn, Max is the person Barbie frantically called after inadvertently killing Julia's husband. In addition, we learn that she's the criminal mastermind behind "Rapture," the super-drug that Big Jim and Reverend Coggins (Ned Bellamy) were hogging all the liquid propane for, and for which Duke (Jeff Fahey) was being paid to look the other way (Linda, of course, learns about her mentor's deception through security videos, although she doesn't realize who else is complicit in the drug operation). Natalie Zea is winningly acerbic in the role, putting the men in their place with one zinger after the other. She's been business partners with both men all this time, yet Barbie and Big Jim are only just learning about the other man's affiliation with her, which makes for an uneasy alliance when Max forces the men back into business with her by threatening to reveal their secrets. I like Max, but she's one of those villains that's all too common in a genre show like this: the Ben Linus-type schemer who knows everything, holds all the cards, and is always one step ahead of everyone else with their scheming. It could be a fun character, or it could be a detriment to the series.
For now, I'm leaning on Max being a fun addition to the cast. However, her appearance does feel contrived, as she not only arrives at the perfect time to blow up everyone's spot, she also apparently has mysterious ways of ensuring her own safety, saying that if anything happens to her, Barbie and Big Jim's secrets will still come out. And while it's meant to be a mysterious kind of threat, since we don't know how she would ensure the release of their secrets, it pretty much fails for the same reason. Yeah, it explains why they have to do what she says, but it doesn't really explain why they have to do what she says, other than some vague threat that their secrets will come out if they don't comply. But I like that there are other threats in the series other than the dome itself.
The dome mythology continues to be doled out in increments, but for some reason, it's considerably less interesting this week than it has been in the past. This week, Angie (Britt Robertson) tries to blackmail Big Jim into giving her the deed to Rose's diner, free and clear. But when Junior comes to the diner to talk, Angie flips out and eventually has a seizure — the same kind of seizure that Joe (Colin Ford) and Norrie (Mackenzie Lintz) have been suffering, declaring that "Pink stars are falling in lines." Angie wants answers, as does Julia (Rachelle Levefre), who tries to show Barbie the mini-dome only to discover that it's mysteriously vanished. Joe and Norrie get on the case while Angie forms a skeptical alliance with Junior, who shows her paintings made by his late mother in the weeks before her death, depicting him on a hill with pink stars falling from the sky. This is the most sane Junior has acted so far, and it has me wondering if the show is trying to recontextualize his relationship with Angie and reframe this as a relationship we're supposed to root for, because if that's the case, I don't know if I'll be able to take this show seriously again. While Angie isn't entirely receptive to the idea that she and Junior are "in this together," she doesn't seem as repulsed by his presence as she once did. But I feel as if much of Angie's willingness to overlook Junior's insane acts is the fact that he seems to actually have answers. Or at least clues. She slowly starts to believe that he's right about her being sick, and actively seeks to get to the bottom of the pink stars mystery.
While answers remain hard to come by, it feels like we're actually getting closer to a big plot discovery, as Joe and Norrie discover the mini-dome in a nearby barn, at which point Angie reveals that Joe went for a walk the night before and must have moved the dome unknowingly, having been sleepwalking the entire time. The three seizure victims touch the mini-dome, rationalizing that the dome only responds to those connected by the seizures. When they touch the dome, a fourth handprint appears, and Joe deduces that this is essentially a lock. To gain access to the egg inside of the mini-dome, they need to find the fourth person whose hand will unlock the peculiar structure. I suppose the only question now is how long the series can keep that particular mystery going, but now would be the time to offer guesses as to who the fourth hand could be. And it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it turned out to be Junior.
"The Fourth Hand" is a tedious episode, as the story sounds decent enough on paper, but suffers in execution thanks to tired pacing and languid performances from the usually-strong cast. Hopefully next week will offer a more engaging hour.

Skip to comments.Fossil turtles confound evolutionists (Creation vs. Evolution)
Posted on 04/18/2005 9:37:46 AM PDT by DaveLoneRanger
April 18, 2005
Australian scientists announced in February the discovery of dozens of fossilized sea turtles that they say have exciting implications for evolution.1 However, the exciting implications seem rather to be against evolution!
The fossils are ;believed; to be 110 millions years old. But contrary to evolutionary expectations, they look ;basically the same as sea turtles do today.;1
Evolutionists have no idea where the sea turtles came from or what they are related to. They just appear in the fossil record (the oldest, a single specimen found in Brazil in 1998, is ;dated; at 115 million years), fully formed and fully recognizable. They have since ;remained virtually unchanged for over 100 million years,; Discovery reports.
How do the evolutionists explain this? The Australian researchers are quoted as saying that the ;sea turtles have hit on the winning design … [and] cracked the winning code.; Notice how the evolutionists describe the turtles—as if they are highly intelligent, creative, forward-looking engineers, which they are not, of course. Evolution is supposedly based on natural selection and mutations, which are mindless, directionless, blind natural processes.
Not only are these turtle fossils contrary to the theory of perpetual and gradual evolutionary change, they also simultaneously refute the notion of millions of years. It is simply unbelievable that these turtles could remain unchanged for over 100 million years, given that information-degrading mutations are known to accumulate in living things, generation after generation (a consequence of the Curse of Genesis 3).
But these are not the only living fossils that refute evolution and millions of years. Many examples could be cited. Regarding salamander fossils recently found in China, we learn that ;Despite its Bathonian age, the new cryptobranchid [salamander] shows extraordinary morphological similarity to its living relatives. This similarity underscores the stasis [no change] within salamander anatomical evolution. Indeed, extant cryptobranchid salamanders can be regarded as living fossils whose structures have remained little changed for over 160 million years.;2
Scientists have found from microscopic examination of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) fossils, dated to be 3.5 billion years old, that they are essentially identical to the blue-green algae that are still living today.3 Microscopic algae didn't change over 3.5 billion years of evolution? Who's kidding whom?
All this evidence fits perfectly with the Bible's teaching that these algae, along with the rest of the creation, are only at most about 6,000 years old.
Once again we see evolutionists digging up the evidence that, when removed from the restriction of having to be forced into an evolutionary framework, actually refutes their theories and confirms the truth of the Bible. Thanks, Australian evolutionists—and keep up the good work!
(((Creationist Ping List)))
You have been pinged because of your interest in matters of Creation vs. Evolution, Creation trumping evolution, and evolutionary fraud. Freep-mail me if you want on/off this list.
Surely evolutionists have an explanation for this.
Genesis 3 is not about a literal serpent, it is another name for the devil.
Whose theory is that? That's not a part of evolutionary theory, this idea that organisms must always undergo change.
I believe that evolution is nothing but a fraud and it is something that is not worth believing in. As a Christian, I tend to believe in the Creationist side of things.
** groan **
If pressures on survival such as food supply, mating, population size and density, and environment remain fairly stable, as they would do for an aquatic creature that travels great distances through a variety of conditions, then the impetus for change would not be nearly as great as for land animals that face changing local climates, predatory threats and food supply issues. It makes good sense that the main line of turtles have not changed much over a long period.
Not just turtles, look at cockroaches, sharks and alligators/crocs, they are pretty much the same as well. Whelp you sure proved us wrong. Way to ignore everything but sea turtle fossils to stick to the evolustionsists.Now if excuse me i need to go rethink my interpretation of how the world was started.
I am not interested in arguing about evolution. An infinitely powerful God could do creation any way he chose.
The Resurrection is the defining event of Christianity. Arguing over lesser issues is pointless.
The fossils are ;believed; to be 110 millions years old. But contrary to evolutionary expectations, they look ;basically the same as sea turtles do today.;
I dont think evolutionists are the confounded ones.
Its just a particularly successful and resilient species of turtle. Its found its niche and has been successfully exploiting it for 110 million years.
Hes probably not a very tasty turtle, which works out well for him.
Evidence? Everything else in the chapter is rhetorically literal. I believe it is there as well- it's a physical form he took. OTOH, Revelation, which is primarily figurative after chapter 1, refers to satan as "that serpent of old"-- an allusion to his appearance in Genesis but not his current physical state.
Let's take a look at what the article REALLY says...
Fossils Shed Light on Sea Turtle Evolution
Feb. 24, 2005 Australian scientists Wednesday announced the discovery of a dozen fossils from some of the earliest species of sea turtle, which are believed to be 110 million years old.
Paleontologist Ben Kear said the fossils, found late last year in the northeastern state of Queensland, would help scientists understand why sea turtles have remained virtually unchanged for over 100 million years.
Sea turtles have hit on the winning design and they've stuck to it.
"For all intents and purposes, if you were to see one (it) would look basically the same as sea turtles do today," Kear said.
"Sea turtles have hit on the winning design and they've stuck to it. They've cracked the winning code, as it were, and it's enabled them to survive when other creatures haven't," he said.
"They're one of the success stories of marine evolution. If you think about the marine animals that became extinct, well why did sea turtles survive? That's the sort of question we can look at now."
Kear of the South Australia Museum said the initial find in far western Queensland included parts from 12 different turtles, and that excavations were continuing.
The fossils were taken to the museum, where scientists hope to find out about the ancient animals' diets and why they appear to have resisted climate change.
"What are sea turtles related to? Are they threatened by things like climate change?" he asked.
"We're just beginning to find out the basics and build information on the really big picture stuff."
The sea turtle fossils are believed to be the oldest found since a single skeleton thought to be 115 million years old was discovered in Brazil in 1998.
"The earliest fossils we know come from Brazil and this consisted of a single skeleton ... then about five million years later in the fossil record we get them in Australia," Kear told ABC radio.
"But we don't just get one we get hundreds. So what we're looking at is a really, really good cross section of what (are) the earliest sea turtles in the world."
Let's not forget the sharks, either, or eels, and several other evolutionary strategies that have worked..
And let's not forget that these are the "survivors", those left after catastrophic events that affected life on a planetary scale..
I have no problem with evolution..
It's working exactly the way God planned it to..
Don't you worry the atheist nuts will think of something. And believe me the explanation will contain strange words the dictionary will have trouble deciphering
More and more, Creationists are coming across in much the same way as UFO nuts. See a light in the sky that cannot be immediately explained? Well, it's PROOF! All those claims of lights in the sky being caused by "airplanes" or "balloons" are all part of the conspiracy.
Er...no...most of the sharks living today are pretty much unchanged from 100 million years ago. Sometimes things just got about as good as they could be for their niche real early. Everything else evolved and left a fossil record.
"I am not interested in arguing about evolution. An infinitely powerful God could do creation any way he chose."
works for me.
> And believe me the explanation will contain strange words the dictionary will have trouble deciphering
What's hard to decipher about: "Sea turtle configuration has not drastically changed because it's a successful configuration."
Because Sea Turtles are essentially a satisfied niche and don't need to change?
Yea sea turtles are a sucessful configuration. They just love to be eaten by sharks.
Also, haven't sharks existed pretty much unchanged for a lot longer than 110 million years?
I sometimes think if when 'creationist' read things about 'evolution' they would simply substitute the word "God" for the word "nature" (and the scientists would do the same thing in reverse when reading Genesis), that both sides would see that what they perceive as a conflict of ideology is really just two ways of describing one phenomenon, namely the glorious beauty of the universe.
that would still leave a problem for those who think the universe is 6,000 years old, I guess.
If you believe that's part of biology, I have a bridge for sale. If you believe it happens, I have two bridges for the price of one.
I'm afraid that is much too logical for evolutionists. lol
According to evolutionary theory, Sea Turtles are now undergoing a change in order to be able to digest latex balloons---something previous generations of Sea Turtles could not tolerate.
Evolutionists are just making less and less sense as time goes by.
"It is simply unbelievable that these turtles could remain unchanged for over 100 million years, given that information-degrading mutations are known to accumulate in living things,..."
Just look at the shark and ask how long they have been around in essentially the same form. A good bit longer than Sea turtles if I'm not mistaken.
Then why did the Lord tell the serpent that he was cursed above all the livestock, and all wild animals?
He also told the serpent that he'd crawl on his belly and eat the dust.
> Evolutionists are just making less and less sense as time goes by.
Well, sure, to those who think that digging up yet more evidence of the massive age of the world somehow bolsters the lunatic notion that the Earth is only 6000 years old. Reason sounds like nonsense to those incapable of reason. Hense, the constant IDiot bleat about how evolution doesn't make sense to them.
Experience tells you that the sun revolves around the earth.
I believe creation was last Thursday, at 9:00 AM (PDT of course). Everything was created in place, fossils and all the rest. Makes as much sense as anything the creationists/ID folks have come up with. And, just like their ideas, it cannot be disproven.
Snakes don't eat dust.
The earth is older than 6,000 yrs.
And since you say it is 'Biblical' show me where it says the earth is 6 millenia old in the bible. You cannot! All you can is try and calculate backwards, or merely quote Usher's assertion that the Earth was created circa 4500BC.
The whole 6,000 yr age is neither religion nor science. It is basically people repeating the flawed logic of a person who was interested in things ranging from wing shapes to 4500BC creation dates. And while some may say it is 'Biblical' it is not! There is no difference between these 'calculations' and the folk who say that the description in Ezekiel is an 'alien space-craft.' They are both equally loony (and un-biblical) assertions based on people assuming things.
Again, show me where it says the Earth is 6,000 yrs old in the bible. The thing is you cannot. All you can is give me the same sort of 'logic' that i received from a person a couple of years ago who was trying to 'assure' me that there is a description of an alien vessel in Ezekiel (the spinning circle thing). Oh .....and that reminds me of a book i read, that was actually written by a preacher, where he claimed that the 'hornets with a sting' in Revelations were Apache helicopter gunships. I believe i stopped reading his book at that point.
Don't you know the waters of reality will part if you say the magic word?
It seems to me that the evolutionists are the ones tossing Frisbees in the air to get a picture of their latest UFO. Evolutionists have, for a very long time, used needle and thread, glue, doctored drawings, dental drills, and outright lies to manufacture evidence. It must be quite a cottage industry doctoring fossils.
Sounds Biblical.
That would be "hence"
I never saw a conflict between evolution and my religion, as I understand each of them.
Evolution describes a method, a process. Religion tells us WHO created the world, but not necessarily the details of the method or process used.
Nope, can't do it.
We have always been at war with EastAsia...
Here's some actual information.
And yes. There's still a lot that's unknown.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Cleveland Indians on Monday placed outfielder Grady Sizemore back on the 15-day disabled list with a right knee contusion. It's his third stint on the DL this season, and sixth of his career.
Sizemore injured his knee in the first inning of an 8-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. He is eligible to return on August 2.
Sizemore is hitting .237 this season with 32 runs, 21 doubles, a triple, 10 homers and 29 RBIs in 61 games.
To take Sizemore's place on the 25-man roster, the Indians called up pitcher David Huff from Triple-A Columbus. Huff, 26, is 8-3 with a 3.86 ERA in 17 starts for the Clippers.
