I may do a belt drive somewhere down the line, but since I am swapping out the gears in the gear box for metal ones, I kinda like the idea of keeping the plastic intermediate gear as sort of a "shear pin"
Here is a set of plans for a belt drive conversion.
Projects 6
Don't even bother to turn your new X2 on. Just start taking it apart, all the way down, to remove the Chinese cosmoline, dirt, swarf, cigarette butts, dead animals, etc. that might be lurking in the hidden places.
You *must* "tram" the headstock to the table, or you'll get crooked holes and scalloped cuts. It may be a new thing if you haven't used a mill before, but it's not rocket surgery.
Getting the gibs properly snugged can be a hassle. It pays to use Dykem or felt tip on the gibs and both dovetails, just
to make sure they're making proper contact.
The major limit on the stock X2 is the very short Y axis travel. With a little work you can increase it quite a bit. Search "extended Y travel" on CNCzone.
A plain old Harbor Freight 4" drill press vise is low profile and fits the X2's work envelope nicely. The newer vises are only partially machined now, but squaring one up is an easy job with the X2.
I had found this while I was researching info.
Homier Mill Review - page 1
For the DROs, check out eBay too, I've seen ones like you posted on there
LMS offers a kit to increase it to a little over 5" if needed. But, I also have access to some full size equipment if I need to do a big job.
You can do temendous things with an X2 if you are creative and determined enough to do it.
I clamped a Chevy 5.3L aluminum oil pan to the teeny tiny table and used a slitting saw to cut the sump off. Had to reposition it a few times to get it cut all the way around.
Great ingenuity, I love the way you re-purposed the caliper piston.
Found a pic of my poor man's belt drive. I broke the gears on my mill and had to come up with something simple in order to get back to work.
My plan was to build one of the fancy belt drive platforms once my mill was working again, but that was 2 years ago. It's made of 2 peices of angle iron bolted to the top of the head to form a "tray" that the motor cradle can ride in. The pic's were taken before I added bolts to tighten the cradle to the tray.
A tip on the set-up; the belt doesn't need a lot of tension in order to work. On the first belt I tightened it up just like you would an engine belt. As soon as I turned it on the belt flipped over on it's side and refused to run within the V grooves of the pulleys. After going through 2 belts I left it a little bit loose, and that was over a year ago.
Didn't notice any reduction of Noise by switching to the belt drive.
Had read that the X2 is "extremely noisey" with gears and switching to a belt drive makes it much quieter. Not the case with mine, didn't really think it was noisey to begin with.
I consider a HF 4" grinder "noisey" and very loud, so would give it a 10 on the scale. The X2 is about a #4 on that scale.

text: Maintaining F-1 Status Regulations To maintain your status, please be aware of these regulations. Carrying Registration Documents Federal law requires you to carry "registration" documents at all times, including your I-20 and I-94 card. For day-to-day purposes, we suggest that these documents be kept in a secure location. However, if you are traveling within the U.S. you should carry these documents with you. If you are traveling by air, train, bus or ship, you may be required to produce these documents before boarding. Keep photocopies of all your documents in a separate location in the event your documents are lost or stolen. Passport Your passport must be valid at all times. Keep your passport and other important documents in a safe place. Report a lost or stolen passport to the police, as your government may require a police report before issuing a new passport. To renew or replace your passport, contact your country's consulate in the U.S. Visa The visa is the stamp that the U.S. consular officer placed on a page in your passport. The visa permitted you to apply for admission into the U.S. as an F-1 student, and need not remain valid while you are in the U.S. Further information on Visas can be found here. I-20 Issued by your school, this document allows you to apply for a visa, enter or re-enter the U.S., and make certain other requests to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Your I-20 must remain valid at all times. Request a new form prior to its expiration date. Keep every I-20 for your permanent record. Do not discard the old ones. I-94 Record When you entered the U.S. an electronic I-94 record was created for you. The I-94 records the date and place you entered the U.S., your immigration status (for example, F-1 or F-2), and authorized period of stay (usually written simply as "D/S", meaning "duration of status"). Your I-94 can be retrieved here. Duration of Status Your admission to the U.S. is for the time during which you are pursuing a full course of study and making normal progress toward your degree, or engaging in authorized practical training following completion of studies, plus 60 days to prepare to depart the U.S. University reporting requirements Saint Mary's University is required to report to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement through SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). The following information for F-1 students is required to be reported by the school: Whether a student has enrolled at Saint Mary's University or failed to enroll within 30 days of the start of the semester. A change of the student or dependent's legal name or address. Any student who graduates prior to the end date listed on the I-20. Academic or disciplinary actions taken due to a criminal conviction. Whether the student drops below a full course of study without prior authorization from their international student adviser. SEVIS record termination date and reason for termination. Other data generated by standard procedures such as program extension, school transfer, change in level of study or major, employment authorization, or reinstatement. Any student who fails to maintain status or complete his or her program. Program extension If you are unable to complete your course of study before the completion date noted in item 5 on your I-20, you will need to contact your international student adviser to ask for a new I-20 to be issued. The new I-20 must be issued before your current I-20 expires. School transfer You must register full-time at the school that issued the I-20 you used to enter the U.S. If you later decide to transfer to another school, contact your international student adviser prior to completing your semester or OPT at your current school for information about school transfer procedures. Change of level If you complete your current program of study and plan to continue at Saint Mary's in another program (for example, changing from a bachelor's degree to a master's degree), this change must be reported to immigration, new financial documents must be obtained and your I-20 must be updated. Contact your international student adviser before completing your current program for procedures. Change of major If you change your major (for example, from Management to MBA), report this change to your international student adviser, and a new I-20 will be issued to you. Change of funding If your sponsor or amount of funding changes, report this change to your international student adviser and a new I-20 will be issued to you. Full-time requirements A "full course of study" is 12 or more credits per semester for undergraduates, and 6 or more credits per semester for graduate students. Your international student adviser in the Office of Student Services may allow exceptions to the full-time requirement, as listed below: You may take fewer credits for valid academic reasons. Less than full-time enrollment due to documented academic reasons is only allowed one semester per degree level. This must be approved in advance by your international student adviser. You may reduce or interrupt a full course of study because of a documented medical condition. In your final semester you may take as few credits as required to complete your degree as long as you register for at least one credit. Do not register for fewer than the required number of credits or withdraw from a course without first receiving permission from your international student adviser in the Office of Student Services. Part-time studies could jeopardize your stay in the U.S. and make you ineligible for F-1 benefits. Summer Semester If you have completed one full academic year (fall and spring semester), you are not required to attend school during the summer semester. Please let your international student adviser in the Office of Student Services know if you will be taking the summer off for vacation. If you begin Saint Mary's in the summer semester, you will be required to register as a full-time student. Employment Employment off-campus must be authorized in advance and in accordance with specific procedures outlined in the federal regulations. Returning to the U.S. after a temporary absence At the port-of-entry you must present: An unexpired I-20 endorsed for travel within the last six months by your international student adviser in the Office of Student Services. Valid F-1 visa. Valid Passport. Evidence of finances. Copy of your transcript and current course schedule. (suggested) Students outside the U.S. for more than five months and those on "practical training" may have additional requirements. Please contact the your international student adviser. Dependents Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 may be eligible for F-2 "dependent" status. Contact your international student adviser for procedures to invite a dependent to join you in the U.S. Change of address Any change of address must be reported to Immigration within 10 days. Update your local address in WebTools, and your international student adviser will be automatically notified and will update your file with Immigration. If you are on OPT, email your international student adviser with your new local address. To update your permanent foreign address, email your international student adviser. Change of name If you change your name, you must fill out a Change of Name Form (PDF), send it to the Office of the Registrar and provide legal documentation that reflects the name change. You must also notify your international student adviser and provide documentation of the name change. Should your dependents have a name change, you must provide documentation of the name change so the I-20 can be updated. University Dismissal or Withdrawal from All Courses If you need to withdraw from classes, or are asked to leave the university, you must report this to your international student adviser. If you report this prior to your withdrawal or dismissal, you will have 15 days to leave the United States. If you do not report this to your international student adviser, your status ends immediately. Regaining F-1 status: Reinstatement If you violate the immigration regulations you may be reinstated to lawful status if you have not been out of status more than five months, do not have a record of repeated or willful violations of immigration regulations, are currently pursuing or intending to pursue a full course of study, have not engaged in unauthorized employment, and establish that the violation of status resulted from circumstances beyond your control (for example, serious injury or illness, a natural disaster, or inadvertence on the part of an international student). For more information, please contact your international student adviser. Graduation Please notify your international student adviser in the Office of Student Services at least one semester prior to your graduation date so we may give you appropriate information concerning practical training, school transfer, travel and other procedures.

History's highway paved with IOUs
By Jay
MacDonald Bankrate.com
history, wherever there's been money, it has been borrowed.
The first money is thought to be cowrie shells, introduced in
China 3,200 years ago as a less cumbersome form of exchange than cattle or grain.
And while there's no official confirmation, it's likely that the plea "Buddy,
can you spare a dime?" (or variations thereof) was uttered soon thereafter.
Today in the United States, almost everyone carries debt: credit
card balances, a home mortgage, a car loan. Borrowing in ancient times, however,
was strictly for the adventurous, with the price of payback sometimes dangerously
According to A
History of Money from Ancient Times to the Present Day by Glyn Davies,
the ancient Greeks charged a flat 10 percent interest, but rates for risky businesses
such as shipping could run as high as 20 percent to 30 percent.
Which quickly ushered in the delicate matter: What if a debtor
Paying through the nose
Depending on the culture, the consequences for nonpayment have been grim indeed.
Death, disfigurement, imprisonment or indentured servitude have all been popular
Unfortunate Britons who failed to pay the danegeld
tax to keep the Vikings at bay would "pay through the nose" and have
their nostrils slit.
Debt collection methods in other societies have been equally inventive
through the ages, according to Bruce H. Mann, professor of law and history at
the University of Pennsylvania and author of Republic
of Debtors: Bankruptcy in the Age of American Independence.
- advertisement -
"There was the ancient Chinese custom of a creditor committing
suicide on the debtor's doorstep to pursue him in the afterlife. Some creditors
in India still employ cross-dressing eunuchs to embarrass their debtors into
paying," says Mann. "And there is a debt collection agency in Iowa
that doubles as a motorcycle gang, complete with leather, beards and German
army helmets."
But locking up or exacting "a pound of flesh"
from deadbeats, while providing some satisfaction to the debtor, does little
to compensate for the monetary loss. Case in point: Ancient Athens threw so
many farmers into debtor's prison that there wasn't sufficient food to feed
its people.
Different rules for rulers
Then there are the wealthy and powerful. They are different and the rules of
debt have always been different for them.
Indeed, from as early as 330 B.C. when Phillip II of Macedonia
simply minted more coins to finance his conquest of Persia, monarchs have meddled
with money to pay their bills.
One popular method, called debasement, reduced the precious metal
content of coinage, putting the remainder at the monarch's disposal. The emperor
Nero started debasing coins in 54 A.D. Two hundred years later, Roman coins
contained a mere 4 percent of their original silver content.
Henry VIII also favored this revenue-generating technique, which
got so out of hand that in 1561, Elizabeth I collected all the debased coins
and melted them down, ending the practice.
Debasement created quite a dilemma for coin makers. On Christmas
Day in 1124, Henry I punished all the mint masters at the Assize of Winchester
in England by cutting off their right hands in a novel approach to quality improvement.
There were other popular means of dealing with royal debt:
And in the late 15th century, Spain's King Ferdinand V and Queen
Isabella used similar easy-term noble financing to launch three westbound ships
under the direction of an explorer named Christopher Columbus. Within 10 years,
his discovery of the Americas more than doubled the size of the world known
to Europeans.
Fear of the "Great Creditor"
Debt arrived in the New World with considerable religious
baggage, according to historian Mann.
"Early in the 18th century, the inability to pay one's debts
was seen as a moral failure rather than an economic one," he says. "Ministers
preached that 'debts must be paid, tho' all go for it' and addressed God as
the 'Great Creditor' who casts insolvent souls into the debtor's prison of hell.
There were no bankruptcy laws in America at the time and imprisonment for debt
was routine."
Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, Americans who defaulted
were either cast into the local debtor's prison or bound to their creditors
as servants to work off what they owed. But by the end of the 18th century,
following decades of war and economic ups and downs, public attitudes toward
debt had shifted markedly.
"People had learned to see debt and insolvency as part of
economic risk. They still recognized their obligation to pay their debts, but
they thought that to imprison debtors was to treat them wrongly as criminals,
and merchants and traders clamored for a bankruptcy law," says Mann. "When
Congress passed the Bankruptcy Act of 1800, debtors imprisoned in New York threw
a party to celebrate and drank toasts to 'The Bankrupt Law, this godlike act.'"
Debt -- and the exodus from it -- also was a significant factor
in America's westward expansion.
"British creditors after the Revolution trying to collect
pre-war debts from their Virginia debtors found that many of them had gone to
Kentucky. In the 1840s and 1850s, it was 'G.T.T.' -- 'Gone to Texas,'"
says Mann.
"This experience is one reason why such states were strongholds
of populism in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The United States enacted
a permanent bankruptcy law only after the country had run out of places where
debtors could escape their creditors."
A house of plastic cards?
America gave birth to the next historic milestone in consumer
debt with the 1950 introduction of the credit card. Its economic impact, both
good and bad, remains a hotly debated topic more than half a century later.
Some predict dire consequences similar to the Athenian farmer scenario should
this house of plastic cards ever topple.
"The biggest difference today is that credit is aggressively
marketed to people whom the creditors know cannot afford it," says Mann.
"That is why credit card companies write off the first six months of losses
from their credit card solicitations, not as bad debts but as advertising expenses.
"Inability to repay is no longer the bar to credit that it
once was."
Mann says that while there has never been a good time to be in
debt, "the worst time was undoubtedly when debtors could be imprisoned,
which was the case in both England and America until well into the 19th century."
"The two major improvements for debtors today is that we
no longer permit imprisonment for debt and individual consumers have access
to bankruptcy discharges, which 200 years ago were limited only to large commercial
debtors," he says.
But there is a new downside to modern consumer debt.
"Computerized record keeping and the professionalization
of debt collection have enabled creditors to be much more aggressive in pursuing
their debtors."

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by misspriss89 Awesome Spice Box! I bought this for my mom for Christmas. I can't wait to give it to her! She's been talking about having one of these for so long! She's going to love it!! Great way to keep your unique spices on hand and easy to access! October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ShopoholicReviewer Small and cute. Perfect for single person I am happy with the product. The glass top lid really helps you know what it contains without opening. It saves oodles of space. Also buy two and you can stack then one over the other. I prefer small ones to the larger ones since it can be stacked on my other similar sized canisters. The container is pretty airtight. I am very happy and will definitely recommend this to my friends. August 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by harlo21520 Steel Spice Box ordered as a gift for an Indian friend and seriously thought about one for myself after receiving and wrapping it was cool with the small cups & tiny spoon... very cool. My friend did say an original masabi-asabi box was much larger, but this would come in handy for his condiments (almost the same as spices) January 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by WhiteThunder Wowser! I've cooked vegetarian Indian cuisine for years on an almost daily basis. I sprung for all the spices, but couldn't justify the cost of a masala dabba. They are so expensive to order online and a pain to have one brought from India. I'd never seen them in person, even in Indian groceries. So, imagine my delight when I saw this the other day! I snatched it up and went straight to the checkout! High quality stainless steel, very clear high grade plastic insert for viewing. You can't go wrong and it looks beautiful on the counter. December 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by mals Fun, Attractive & Handy Yes, this is smaller than the usual masala dabba - that's partly why I like it. It cost less and takes up less space. I do have a larger one - I keep whole spices in it and keep ground spices in this one. I find it very handy. I can't imagine why another poster would want to travel with this but yes, it's not tightly sealed and the spice cups could spill. The one I bought had an extra piece of heavy, stiff plastic that fit inside. I kept that as an inner lid to help ensure against spilling and so far have had no problem. I really like this and am very glad I bought it. The clear top makes it easy to see what's inside and what's running low. November 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cedarwillow Everything in on place So great to have all my everyday seasons in one easy place. No more having to pull out all those jars. Plan on buying more for different groups of seasoning. December 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jerry Has limited application Overall a nice stainless steel box. There is no way to travel with this box. The tins are not the same size and don't seal to the lid when the box is closed. There would be mixed spices if the box was ever moved off the counter or turned upside down. Buy one with a double lid to seal things when traveling. Or use this one with whole grind as you go spices that wouldn't make a mess. September 12, 2013

Last month's U160 Half Case is a perfect example.
Now Pelican has announced the Pelican ProGear S115 Sport Elite Laptop/Camera Pro Pack. Unlike some of Pelican's other products, it has a more traditional soft sided camera storage area, but has a waterproof/crushproof laptop section. Given how crucial digital data is to so many of us, I think there will be a few people who see the value in having their laptop protected to such a level. Insurance can replace lenses, nothing can replace lost data.
- Built-In Watertight, Crushproof Case
- Top-Loading, Fast Access – TSA Ready & Under Seat Convenient
- Slim case for use with Ultrabook™ laptops up to 15″, also 17″ Apple® laptops
- Watertight to 1 meter for 30 min* – O-Ring Gasket Sealed
- Pressure Equalization Valve – Prevents Vacuum Lock
- Large sized padded divider compartment – Holds multiple bodies, lenses, flash, etc.
- Rigid front plate protects camera gear from impact
Price: $329.95

MAA has finally changed their listing.
Now they're saying that the ATF has never officially stated which part they consider to be the piston. I would have thought that either tromix or one of the other manufacturers who have been selling pucks and listing them as the 922r countable part, would have got a determination before listing them as such.
There could be an awful lot of people running around with illegal shotguns right now. That sucks and is very irresponsible of those who sold them the pucks.
The vast majority of us try very hard to follow the letter of the law. I wonder what recourse someone would have against tromix et al, if they got jacked up over a 922r violation while using their product.
Here's MAA's revised product description
On AK's and on Saiga rifles, the steel shaft extending off of the bolt carrier is the gas piston. In the Russian American Armory factory manual, the puck-shaped disc located in the gas block is defined as the gas piston. ATF has not issued any special ruling on this. There has been no known disseminated ATF statements to indicate that the "puck" is not the piston.The TAPCO piston is made in the United States and if the traditional steel shaft extending off the bolt is determined to be the piston, the part will counts as 1 US part for 922r compliance.

Saddle Up
THE PARTY Polo spectators turned out in their country-club best for this yearly Champagne-soaked affair, held at Will Rogers State Historic Park in the Pacific Palisades. THE SCENE Co-hosts Rachel Zoe and hubby Rodger Berman, along with Owen Wilson, Mandy Moore and Dianna Agron, were among the VIPs who took their seats at tables laden with picnic baskets and bottles of bubbly to enjoy the match between teams Black Watch and Nespresso. Ashley Madekwe threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the game, in which co-host and Black Watch captain Nacho Figueras played alongside his 13-year-old-son, Hilario. Among those watching intently from the sidelines was Minnie Driver, who has a special connection with the sport, and fondly recalled her first horseback-riding memory. "My dad was a polo player, and it was riding on a polo pony with him," she said. "I've got a picture of it. It was perfect." THE HIGHLIGHTS Within minutes, both Figueras boys had scored goals for their team, eventually winning the match 8-7 over Nespresso. And naturally, there was plenty of Veuve on hand to toast their successes. Photography by Jason Merritt and Charley Gallay/Getty Images for Veuve Clicquot

Reviews for Grandma's Christmas Brittle
"Not too hard and not too soft. Great! Have been using for a couple of years and still love it. JC"
"Excellent. My husband loves it so much I have already had to make two more batches. Very creamy texture . I agree with tracybreland that it takes longer than 15 minutes and like her, I am a first timer at this. Definitely a keeper."
"This is wonderful!!! I have never made peanut brittle before nor used a candy thermometer. The cooking time was a lot longer than 15 minutes but the results were amazing, everyone in my family loves it!"
"A relative of ours gave us a HUGE can of peanuts and I was desperate to figure out how to use them up. This was the perfect recipe. I never made peanut brittle before, but this was very easy and tasted so much fresher than store bought brittle. Will make again should I receive another HUGE can of peanuts. :)"
"Made this twice everyone like it."

Willie Titus
One of 11 children of Ned and Clora Titus. Born 2 years after the end of slavery in Texas. Married Mary Rauls with whom he raised 8 children.
Willie grew up in the Titus Farm community. He died at the age of 78 and was buried in the Hopewell cemetery.
He married his sweetheart, Mary Rauls who was also a descendant of ex-slaves. They had eight children. 1. Governor,2.Minnie Beria, 3.Lovie Annie, 4. Willie L.V., 5. Pinkie, 6. Hattie Mae,7. Gladys Mary and 8. Fannie Liz.
Not much is known of his educational background, but he could read, write and compute. That, in itself, was an achievement. There were many peers who were not that fortunate. He stressed the need for education to his children and grandchildren. He wanted for them something better than what he had. His children completed all the grade levels that was required. There was no illiteracy in his family.
Farming was his trade. There was much to be done. Plowing in the fields, cutting wood, mending fences, feeding and watering animals and fowl, milking cows, planting, harvesting and conserving fruit and vegetables were routine and required physical labor. One thing could be said of Willie Titus is, he provided for his family. There was always plenty to eat.
When his wife was stricken with illness and later died in 1916, Willie had to fill a dual role. With skillfulness and thriftiness, he managed his household. His older children tended the younger ones and did the household chores.
From his religious training, he learned to be reverent to God and share with others. He was a Methodist and attended Sunday School and church service at Hopewell Methodist church. On a regular basis, he lead prayer service. He had a special seat, one hewn out of a large stomp, at church. In sharing with others, Willie would plant an extra row of vegetable and fruit to give to his friends and other less fortunate ones.
Willie was a member of the Masonic Lodge and served as Worshipful Master of his chapter for a number of years.
In his spare time, Willie would fish and hunt for relaxation. With these hobbies, he would supply his family wild game and fresh fish.
The home of Willie Titus was the common meeting ground for his adult children and his grandchildren. He and his sons would park their mules and plows daily. Then, they would chit-chat for hours. When family members missed them, there was no doubt where they were. The grandchildren met there often, ate there, and slept there. At his home, one experienced a sharing and caring attitude, survival techniques, and words of wisdom.
This chapter closes on a man who was soft spoken, kind and gentle, and who was an exemplary family man in the Titus Farm Community.

The Stuttgart City Council will meet with only one item on the agenda Tuesday — to discuss a resolution for a new hangar at the Stuttgart Municipal Airport. The meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. at Stuttgart City Hall, located at 304 S. Maple St. Meetings are open to the public.
The resolution explains that the city will be applying for a grant through the Delta Regional Authority for the fiscal year 2013 federal grant program cycle. It does not explain the amount or if the grant will be matching funds or complete funding.
"The resolution is just so that we can apply," Stuttgart City Clerk Mitri Greenhill said. "If there was an amount it would be in there."
Greenhill said the city will also be looking to other sources.
The new hanger will be for larger jets to be parked at the airport.

The products of chemistry surround you: fireworks in the sky, drugs to treat illnesses, materials for solar cells, computer chips and airplanes. Chemists play a central role in technology, medicine, public health and safety, and of course, scientific research. As a result, chemists enjoy more career opportunities than any other discipline. Chemists solve problems using everything a broad-based degree provides: scientific knowledge, laboratory and analytic skills, oral and written communication skills, and even a foreign language. As our nation's employment opportunities change and become global, chemists will continue to find new opportunities due to their flexibility.
Chemists may provide valuable evidence for criminal and civil courts and other agencies by applying cutting-edge techniques in such areas as:
The B.A. Chemistry degree provides a solid foundation of chemistry and mathematics, with core courses in analytical, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry Students take advanced courses in instrumental, biochemical, or inorganic chemistry.
The B.A. Chemistry degree is designed for the undergraduate college student who is interested in:
The B.A. Chemistry degree is a "hands on" program with many hours spent in laboratories. Because chemistry is an experimental science, students learn how to collect, analyze and communicate their experimental results, which provide evidence for scientific concepts.
Faculty members teaching in the program bring teaching, research and industrial experience to both the classroom and laboratory. Our department boasts a strong cadre of excellent educators, including three professors having received Ferris' Distinguished Teacher Award - the University's highest teaching award.
If you like chemistry and mathematics, and want many career choices, you may be interested
in a Ferris State chemistry degree. The Chemistry major provides an excellent background
for a wide variety of careers in science or in science-related fields, some involving
further education. These include but are not limited to careers in chemistry, medicine,
dentistry, education, environmental science, forensic science, polymer materials,
pharmaceutical sales, and scientific writing. Your degree would also be excellent
preparation for programs, such as pharmacy, optometry, and medicine. You could also
pursue a graduate program in chemistry or related fields. If chemistry is only one
interest of many, you could combine chemistry with other interests to enter other
careers, such as science writing and law.

Reviews for Cream Wafers
"This is how I adjust it: 1 cup butter, 2 cups flour, 1/3 cup whipping cream."
"Love these cookies! I tend to make them for various holidays and just use different colors....always a hit! Since I don't have an actual cookie cutter that size, I used a top from an empty spice container. Maybe a little too small. I made a double batch and ended up with over 12 dozen sandwiches!"
"These are the classic cookie for weddings. And so delicious, delicate. I've been making these for years and always rolled them out, what a pain.... such good advice to roll them into logs and cut them into slices! It made the whole process way easier."
"Instead of rolling out the dough, I make the dough into several logs, wrap them in waxed paper or plastic wrap...refrigerate until solid and then cut the logs into 1/4" slices. You can use dental floss to cut these instead of a knife...they keep their shape better instead of getting squished. Really saves time!!"
"This is pretty easy to make. I found it only made 14 sandwich cookies though. I think the printed cookie count is for the cookies prior to being assembled. I flavored the filling with raspberry and lime. I also had to extend the cooking time to 14 minutes."

Rocking Race
The Party
A slew of famous supporters from Jon Lovitz to Tommy Hilfiger raced to the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza for Race to Erase MS, a grand-scale gala hosted by nonprofit founder and multiple sclerosis survivor Nancy Davis. The 21st benefit raised more than $1.75 million for the organization and its research program. "Hopelessness has now been replaced by hopefulness," Davis decreed.
The Scene
Jordin Sparks greeted the spirited ballroom before media executive and MS advocate Dean Singleton received the esteemed Medal of Hope. Over dinner, last year's recipient, Jack Osbourne, led a live auction with Howie Mandel, featuring luxe experiences like a stay at the Hilfigers' estate on Mustique Island and a dinner at Soho House with the Osbournes. The munificent Osbourne clan also commissioned a bespoke Aston Martin Vanquish for $230,000, the auction's biggest-ticket item.
The Highlights
Of her battle with MS, Davis professed, "The Steven Tyler song kept ringing in my head: 'Dream On.'" Fittingly, following lively performances by CeeLo Green and Natalie Cole, Tyler drew everyone to their feet with powerful renditions of "Walk This Way," "Crying" and "Jaded." He closed with "Dream On" before reminding Davis' family that they're not alone, that "we're going to fight this disease"—and that he's doing more than simply dreaming. –Photos by Wireimage

Sale Price:
Deep blue lapis lazuli was used throughout the ancient world for mosaics, seals, and jewelry. It's just one of the precious stones inlaid in the white marble walls of the Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan's monument to his beloved wife. This gold-vermeil and teardrop lapis jewelry is inspired by headdresses found among the crown jewels of India's 17th-century Mughal princes.
Handcrafted in Jaipur, India. 17"L. S-hook clasp.
The intense, almost otherworldly blue of lapis lazuli has been highly prized for more than 6,000 years. The only known miles are in Zambia, Chile, Siberia, and most significantly, the Sar-e-Sang mine in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan. Ancient Egyptians used the mineral in amulets and scarabsKing Tutankhamun's sarcophagus is heavily inlaid with lapis. Because the stone is always flecked with fool's good (iron pyrite), it's been a symbol of the starry night and the heavens for cultures from Persia to pre-Columbian civilizations in South America. Journalist Victoria Finlay writes that in Afghanistan in the 1970s "before the Soviets Union invaded, lapis lazuli was a popular stone among Kabul's middle class. People made glitzy jewelry out of it and kept the stone as savings."
Lapis lazuli is also the source of the pigment ultramarine, popular among Renaissance painters, especially Michelangelo. The name comes from the Italian oltramarino meaning "from beyond the seas," and the pigment was so pricey that artists themselves could not afford it; they relied on patrons to purchase it for them. The first known use of lapis lazuli as paint is in the Bamiyan Buddahs, two colossal 6th-century statues in the Bamyan Valley of central Afghanistan that were destroyed by the Taliban in 2001.

Air travel is generally one of the safest and most convenient methods of travelling. Millions of passengers around the world choose to travel by air each year, the vast majority of which experience no ill effects from their journey. Nevertheless, the popularity of air travel means that a lot more passengers with medical problems travel by air each day, many of which are unaware of the potential interaction of their medical condition with the aircraft environment. A little forward planning can often make the journey more comfortable, both during and after the flight.

I've found several websites dedicated to applying the principles of rational and evidence-based skepticism to subjects in the humanities. I'm looking for more. I'd like to expand the following list with any website that is worth bookmarking in this area, so everyone, please feel free to make recommendations in comments. I'm only looking for sites that regularly do this, and meet roughly the same criteria of utility and standards as those in the following list, and that are broader than single-issue sites.
Of course everyone knows Snopes.com. You might not think of it as a skeptical humanities site, but what Barbara and David Mikkelson do there is address journalism and urban folklore and history, which are solidly in the humanities.
And everyone knows FactCheck.org and PolitiFact.com (and its related PunditFact). They apply skepticism to journalism and advertising and propaganda, which is again skepticism in the humanities, yet often overlooked because we tend to compartmentalize politics as its own animal.
But fewer know about BadArchaeology.com. Run by archaeologists Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews and James Doeser, they also have an affiliated blog. I don't consider this a single-issue site, since archaeology is broad enough in scope to make bookmarking the site in general worthwhile.
Similar to that is PaleoBabble, a prolific blog by Mike Heiser (a doctor of Hebrew and Semitic Studies) addressing bogus claims in archaeology and ancient history, mostly in relation to ancient aliens and other conspiracy theories about antiquity, but it ranges widely in that area. [Be aware that Heiser's position on traditional biblical religion might be less skeptical, though he does write skeptically about such fringe subjects as bible codes and apocalypticism.]
And in a different vein is Jourdemayne, by Skeptic magazine UK's current editor Deborah Hyde, which applies skeptical analysis to folklore and legends (from vampires and werewolves to witches and whatnot).
But even broader is SkepticalHumanities.com. This ranges all over the humanities, from linguistics to art, philosophy, history, literature, rhetoric, aesthetics, literary criticism, pop culture, folklore, and cultural studies. Its many contributors (currently Bob Blaskiewicz, Eve Siebert, Mark Newbrook, and Jenna Marie Griffith) are doctors in English, Linguistics, and Visual Arts (or almost a doctor in that last case).
Are there more out there like this that I'm missing? Let me know!
Since my original post, here are my favorite additions from commenter recommendations:
Slate Star Codex. Applies skepticism to claims in and about "cognitive science, psychology, history, politics, medicine, religion, statistics, transhumanism" but also subjects like feminism and sociology. Which reminds me to also add our own…
Heteronormative Patriarchy for Men. Applies skepticism to both feminist and anti-feminist claims and rhetoric, and to claims about sociology, economics, and other related subjects in the study of gender, culture and justice.
Evidence Based EFL. Applies skepticism to all kinds of claims about language, education and the use of words. (See a recent post there about the reason for the blog. The author remains anonymous, but is clearly an expert in language instruction, and if I were to guess, they are an English teacher in Japan.)
JasonColavito. Applies skepticism to claims in history and folklore, from ancient aliens to psychic history to other fringe claims about the bible (like "Was Noah a Merman?" which is a really good example of the depth of historical context Colavito provides in his analysis of these fringe claims). Colavito is an author and a distinguished double-major in anthropology and journalism, and uses this background expertly to explore "the connections between science, pseudoscience, and speculative fiction."
The Renaissance Mathematicus. Applies skepticism to claims in the history of science and mathematics (mainly 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, but occasionally ranging more widely). This blog is full of great skeptical writing on a large range of subjects and claims within its purview.
New at LacusCurius & Livius. Applies skepticism to claims about ancient history (principally Western, sometimes biblical). Has a handy list of common errors well worth exploring. But everything there should be used with caution. I found problems with some of the entries I looked at, generally key information is omitted that would qualify what is claimed. For example, on the flat earth myth, it's true most educated elites in antiquity knew the earth was a sphere, but the masses often did not or even rejected the idea, and some of the most highly educated elites, like Lactantius, outright opposed the idea, calling it ridiculous (and Lactantius was and remained a revered Christian author throughout the Middle Ages). Accordingly, it's entirely plausible that the illiterate crew of Columbus thought the earth was flat, but not likely that his financial backers did. This is the kind of information this site should be including. But as long as you are aware that its entries might not be complete, they have a lot of useful discussion and sourcing.
FiveThirtyEight. Nate Silver's column for the New York Times online, which has many contributors besides himself, a decent example of explaining mathematical results to humanities folk, often applying fact-based "mathematical" skepticism to topics in politics, journalism, and economics, with a touch of history. Good one for dissecting opinion polls and their use and abuse.

How do I use the Equation Editor (Math Symbols)
The equation editor allows you to easily build nice-looking mathematical equations. It is designed to work very similarly to the Equation Editor in Microsoft Office 2007, so if you've used that, this should be simple to understand. Note that it does not actually do any calculations, it is purely for display only.
The Equation Editor is a plug-in. To open it, in a VyewBook, goto the EDIT menu > Insert Plug-in (or use the Plugin shortcut along the top toolbar that looks like a puzzle-piece icon).
- Click the 'Pencil' icon to edit
- The buttons across the top open different symbol palettes
- Click on a symbol to add that symbol to your current equation
- You can also type on your keyboard to add to your equation
- Blue rectangles are placeholders. Click on them, and then add symbols by typing or selecting symbols from the toolbar
- You can select a portion of your equation and then use the buttons across the botton to Copy, Cut, or Paste.
- IMPORTANT: You MUST click 'SAVE' or your equation will not be saved! Also, nobody else can see what you've entered until you save it.
When you are done editing, either click 'HIDE' or click the red X, to hide the editor, and only display the equation.

Almost every major culture includes an ancient flood story. What if evidence of the Great Flood could be found? Join Dr. Robert Ballard, discoverer of the Titanic, on an odyssey to find the submerged truth about the Great Flood. Dr. Ballard sets off to look for ancient shipwrecks, and search for evidence supporting a controversial theory that links the legend of the Great Flood with the catastrophic flooding of the Black Sea around 5500 B.C. As his sonar scans the desolate sea floor, and robotic submersibles search the haunting darkness of the Black Sea's "dead zone," the truth begins to emerge from the murky depths of myth and legend.

Comments about The Quest for Noah's Flood DVD Exclusive:
Tried disk on three DVD players- action freezes at same chronology 18:54 min.(Ryan& Pittman scene). Defective copy will need to be sent back Monday for an exchange - "very disappointing".
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
