Gingrich Predicts 'Straight-Out Contest' for Months
LUTZ, Fla. — A pugnacious Newt Gingrich reiterated his intention to stay in the Republican presidential primary "all the way to the convention," telling reporters Sunday morning that he believed that "this is going to be a straight-out contest for the next four or five months" between him and Mitt Romney.
Mr. Gingrich said after attending a morning service with 2,000 worshipers at the Exciting Idlewild Baptist Church that he didn't agree with polls that show him trailing in Florida, and in any case, he's not bowing out of the race.
"I think that the election will be substantially closer than the two polls that came out this morning," he said, adding that he was eying support for Rick Santorum as potential source of votes in the coming months. "When you add the two conservatives together we clearly beat Romney," Mr. Gingich said. "I think Romney's got a very real challenge trying to get a majority at the convention."
Mr. Santorum canceled Sunday events be with his daughter Bella, who was admitted to the hospital Saturday night. Mr. Gingrich said that under the circumstances, it would be "totally inappropriate" for him to discuss the campaign with Mr. Santorum now, but he said he thought they could have "a pretty good conversation" after Florida's Tuesday primary to "see where we stand."
That's a shift from few days ago, when Mr. Gingrich's aides said that Mr. Santorum was "his own person" and they would not be contacting him about his candidacy. Mr. Gingrich told voters Saturday that he admired Mr. Santorum but believed he was the only choice to beat Mr. Romney in Florida and in the nomination race.
Mr. Gingrich knocked back suggestions that prolonging the primary campaign could damage the party's chances in November. "The long campaign of 2008 between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama led them to win the presidency. There's no reason that a long campaign has to be a bad thing," he said.
"This is a campaign about the future of America and the future of the Republican party. Do you want an insider who's part of the city which has been accepting huge amounts of taxpayer money to prop up giant institutions or do you want somebody who's prepared to challenge our system head on and insist on very dramatic change in Washington? I think that's worth a serious debate and I think that debate will go all the way to the convention."
He continued: "We have no evidence yet that Romney anywhere is coming close to getting the majority and I think when you take all of the non-Romney votes, it's very likely that the convention will be a non-Romney majority and maybe a very substantial one. My job is to convert that into a pro-Gingrich majority."

How to Make a Good Pot of Coffee
These are tips for making a superior pot of coffee using a standard organic drip coffee maker (presuming you already know the basics). Try these suggestions at home or at work. If you're on the go, however, you may want to read How to Make Good Hotel Room Coffee instead. Remember, that your standard drip coffee maker pot really only makes about 6 cups (coffee mugs) of coffee. The design is set up for tea cups which only hold about 5 or 6 ounces. So keep that in mind when measuring coffee.
1Clean the coffee maker at least once a month. A thorough cleaning will remove hard water deposits (scale), leftover coffee oils that become rancid, and other impurities (which can affect the flavor of the coffee) from the internal components. All you do is run a mixture of water and vinegar (or denture tablets, or baking soda) through the coffee maker, then run just water for a few cycles. The whole procedure is outlined in detail in How to Clean a Coffee Maker. For the pot itself, check out How to Clean a Blackened or Burnt Coffee Pot.
2Grind whole bean coffee. Any coffee connoisseur will tell you that fresher is better. The longer that coffee beans sit around after roasting, the more the flavor deteriorates, so buy freshly roasted coffee from a local roaster. Or better yet, learn How to Roast Coffee Beans. You can even Roast Coffee in a Popcorn Popper! Green beans are stable for over a year (if stored in a cool, dry place) and you can roast a few days' worth at a time. When it comes to grinding, you can buy a grinder specifically designed for coffee, have them ground when you buy them (presuming you're not roasting them yourself) or consult How to Grind Coffee Beans Without a Grinder. No matter how you do it, use the coffee as soon as possible after it's ground.
- The ground coffee should not look like coffee colored baby powder, but rather like poppy seeds.
- Using a blade grinder can make a lot of very fine powder in even a coarse grind that can clog the filter and cause grounds to overflow into the pot.
3Pay attention to water temperature and quality. The best coffee is achieved when the water is between 195–202 °F (91–94 °C) when it hits the coffee grounds. Many automatic drip coffeemakers cannot heat the water to that temperature when it starts out cold. If your coffee maker produces coffee with bitter or weak flavour, try adding room temperature or hot water. On the other hand, if you have a coffee maker that's known to make burnt-tasting coffee because the water is too hot for infusion, wet the coffee grounds first with 1/4 cup of the cold water. This temporarily prevents the grounds from exposure to too hot temperatures. It is best to use filtered or bottled water. Some people prefer using distilled or deionized water, which contains no minerals at all.
Community Q&A
What's the ratio of coffee to water?wikiHow ContributorThis is a personal taste issue. Start with one coffee scoop measure (two tablespoons) for each six ounce cup of coffee. Use more if the coffee tastes watery, or less if the coffee is too strong.
What is the ratio of coffee to water?wikiHow ContributorThis depends on how strong you want your coffee. If you like it medium strong, get the dark roast and do one scoop coffee, two cups water, and make 8 cups, so that's four scoops in total. Sometimes do five scoops if you want it a bit stronger. You just have to experiment to see what you like.
How much coffee grounds per 10 cups of brewed coffee?wikiHow ContributorFive tablespoons for medium, four for light, and 5 1/2 to 6 for bold.
I need to make 50 cups of coffee - how many grounds do I need, and how much water?
How much coffee do I need for 60 cups of coffee?
|This video provides some basic tips on making better coffee, with a focus on the beans.
- A large (10-cup) capacity coffeemaker will often make a poor-quality brew for smaller amounts. If you usually only make one cup, buy a smaller coffeemaker (4-cup, for instance).
- Many electric coffee pots do not heat coffee to an adequate and consistent temperature. Make sure to do some research before buying a coffee maker. Do not assume that the most expensive coffee maker at the store is the best.
- Coffee cooled to room temperature right-after brewing can be warmed up in a microwave with excellent taste. Don't let coffee cook on a warmer coil.
- A small pinch of salt is said to remove the bitterness of coffee, especially that which has sat for a long time and has been reheated.
- Be careful when you take the first drink of coffee. It might be a little hot. If it's hot just put some ice in it.
- For a super-smooth brew use both paper filter AND a reusable micro-mesh filter. Put the paper filter in the basket first then the micro-mesh filter. Place the grounds in the micro-mesh filter and brew as before.
- Be careful not to grind the beans too fine or they will clog the filter and back up the coffee machine.
- Do not let the brewed coffee sit for too long. Coffee becomes increasingly bitter the longer you let it sit. Half an hour is the longest you should let it go without drinking it. Additionally, coffee maintains freshness better in an insulated carafe than a glass carafe on a warming plate.

It was an up-and-down down to say the least in the Zone. We started on a high with a call-in by Tyler Hansbrough who, along with his UNC teammates, earned a national championship Monday night over Michigan State. He was great to talk to about achieving the goal that he and his mates set out to reach at then end of last season.
Later in the first hour we received the tragic news about the death of former Arkansas Traveler Nick Adenhart who was killed (along with two others) in a hit-and-run accident after pitching six scoreless innings against Oakland. The voice of the Travs, Phil Elson, called in and remembered a rising star who was taken at the tender age of 22. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Adenhart family and the Angels organization including our friends with the Travs. A Fullerton PD spokesman says the man who caused the accident that killed Nick and two others was under the influence of alcohol at the time. 22-year-old Andrew Gallo was also driving on a suspended license because of a prior DUI. Reports indicate that Gallo will probably be booked on felony hit-and-run, felony DUI, vehicular manslaughter and possibly murder.
On a much lighter note, we also heard from NFL linebacker Dhani Jones who is speaking at the Clinton School of Public Service on Friday night. He talked about how he wants to be defined and his work in TV.
If you missed the entertainment report. We played a portion of an interview Arkansas native Billy Bob Thornton had on a radio show in Canada. DON'T CALL HIM AN ACTOR MAN!!
Join Pat tonight for happy hour at the Mexico Chiquito on HW 10 and again at On the Rocks for a chance to win a Yamaha Bike with Richards Yamaha, 10:30pm to 12:30am, sign up to win a brand new VSTAR 950 from Star Motorcycles! Should be fun.
Tomorrow in the Zone the Website of the Week and the Freaky Clip of the Week. Tune in for more fun as we wrap up a great week Friday in the Zone!

How is it that every year Dub finds a way to trade everyone for a couple of draft picks?

How is it that every year Dub finds a way to trade everyone for a couple of draft picks?
And who knows? Maybe the Steelers can get the Cardinals to throw in CB Patrick Peterson???
Dub, I like Ben, but I also hear what you are saying.
However, if you are going to trade Ben, you don't do it and then look to take a QB in the second. Teams that draft QBs in the second often seem to be addressing QB again within the next year. If you trade Ben, you only do it if you are comfortable that you are getting a franchise QB in the first to replace him.
And his style of play is perfect for what the Steelers true identity is. Those other QB's in this draft ahead of him are going to be gobble up because of their ability to run the read-option offense.
McCarron is no slouch as a passer but his better days are ahead of him. His development will be much more at the next level.
Again, look at how he has played in all those big games (SEC, and BCS Championship games), and then think about him having a real good chance at winning his 3rd title.
That is rare.
...and by the way, I would not even think about trading Ben for any of those other QB's. Only with the idea of getting multiple high picks, and the chance to draft A. J. McCarron. And who knows, with Arians in Arizona, and the Cardinal probably being desperate again this off season for a bonafide QB, the may be forced to part ways with someone like CB Patrick Peterson in that package.
And you can throw Matt Barkley in my face all you want. I stand by what I said. If he ever gets a legitimate chance he will show his worth.
Give me the A&M LT.

There have been requests for his banning from the first weeks he was a TW member. He has continuously irritated people, and continued his behavious despite repeated pleas and warnings.And let me tell you, this isn't the first time a TW user has been banned for simply posting too much and being a general asshole (any of the older fellas remember Bananaman?). Only back then the action was much more swift. We gave plenty of time to DDZ to start behaving, but he did nothing of the kind.KArt | Project Michelangelo | LiveJournal

Bernanke Warns on Debt-Limit 'Chaos'
U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned Congress could create financial and economic "chaos" if lawmakers bind together raising the short-term debt limit to fund the federal government with fundamental fiscal restructuring.
Testifying before the Senate Banking Committee, Bernanke said that he strongly supports Congress making the budget changes necessary to reduce the mountain of debt and rising deficit facing the U.S. in the years ahead. He said the fiscal challenges facing the U.S. is the top long-term priority the government needs to tackle.
But the Fed chief said he's worried about lawmakers using the need to raise the debt ceiling as a legislative vehicle to enact budget restructuring, as many Republicans are have urged.
A handful of Republican senators, knowing the Fed chief's concern about debt and deficit levels, tried to leverage that worry into support for a GOP proposal to tie the issues together. But Bernanke returned with a salvo of warnings against linking the two issues.
Major budget restructuring, particularly targeting entitlements such as healthcare, poses a monumental political hurdle. Bernanke said tying the two issues together would raise the risk that the U.S. wouldn't subsequently be able to raise the debt level and therefore default on its debt. That, he said, would cause a financial crisis and "real chaos."
"It would be extremely dangerous and likely recovery-ending event," Bernanke later added.
"For a very long time afterwards, the U.S. would have to pay higher interest rates in the market and that would make our deficit problems even more intractable," he said.
First, the Fed chief said a new financial crisis would be created as firms that rely on receiving interest and principle from the government are unable to make their own payments. "That would probably cascade through the financial markets," he said.
Then, there would be a "massive loss of confidence" in U.S. Treasury securities, the deepest, most liquid market in the world.
Bernanke said even if the U.S. failed to meet its debt payment deadline for 20 minutes and the government avoided the most serious harmful impacts, the interest rates the U.S. pays on its debt would still likely rise with the perception of higher riskiness and uncertainty associated with funding the government.
"Broadly speaking…it would be a very, very bad outcome for the U.S. economy," he said.
Bernanke said that for the most part, the recent proposals made by the bipartisan debt commission, "while obviously painful, would address the [debt and deficit] problem." He couldn't give his unqualified support, however, because the panel effectively punted on some of the biggest issues, such as details for cutting health-care costs, he said.
"It gave a sense of the magnitude of the response that's needed and showed at least one path forward," the Fed chairman said. But, "I wouldn't want to tie myself down too much to the details of that commission because there are many different ways that you could address it," he added.
A U.S. government shutdown could occur because of an impasse between the White House and House Republicans over spending levels. A temporary measure funding government operations expires on March 4. But U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in February he believes there's "absolutely no risk" that Congress won't raise the debt limit.


text: And I think I have made an error in judgement! My hubby loves ice cream and today is his birthday, so the Cuisinart ICM seemed like a perfect match. However, the recipes that came with the machine all use 2 cups of heavy cream. I will be looking on the internet for more recipes, but I am wondering if ice cream made with less cream and less fat milk tastes good. Sorbets seem like they will be good.

With transmission line project basically completed, we own the wind
It's nice to see Texas leading the nation in something other than screwball politicians.
The Lone Star State is the national leader in wind energy — and about to stretch that advantage to Texas-size proportions. That's because the $6.9 billion transmission line project linking the isolated West Texas windfields to North and Central Texas urban centers is, for all intents and purposes, completed.
It is an invaluable addition that could send 18,500 megawatts of wind power – about 50 percent more than currently available – to places such as Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin. Texas will now be able to produce three times more wind power than any other state in the country.
To give you an idea of what all those numbers mean, a megawatt can power 200 homes at peak hours and 500 homes operating at typical electrical levels.
So wind could eventually power 3.7 million Texas homes at peak hours, and 9.25 million homes in normal times.
Now, having said that, the windfields' peak output so far has been just under 10,000 megawatts (that happened at 7:08 p.m. on Feb. 9 when a cold front was going through the state). That's well below the 18,500 megawatt capacity.
And that's a good thing. For the first time, Texas will have more transmission capacity than output. Having more output than capacity is a bad thing, because you are producing energy that can't be moved. It's basically lost energy, which results in something called "energy curtailment." In the past, Texas was missing out on 8 percent of the possible production from existing windmills because of energy curtailment.
The new transmission lines will not only allow that power to be used, but because we're nowhere near capacity, it should spur further investment in our wind.
It's all good.
Well…not quite.
The $6.9 billion investment has to be recovered somehow. So expect a surcharge of $5-8 dollars a month, probably starting sometime next year and lasting a decade. You'll be paying back the 13 utilities that have built the transmission network. Oncor was one of the main builders of the 3,600 miles of lines.
But before you start grousing, consider that for the cost of a fast-food meal (for one), you'll get reliable, home-grown, renewable, green energy for decades to come. That's a heck of an investment. Beats paying to burn limited fossil fuels.
Hey, if it helps, call yourself a wind baron.
Because we own the wind, now.

When Jeremy Parzen realized he couldn't make money writing about Italian poetry, he used his doctorate in the language -- he's a former UCLA professor of Italian -- and his love of Italian wine to carve another path: oeno-philology, the study of the origin, meaning and application of Italian wine terms.
On his blog, Do Bianchi, you'll find translations and thoughtful essays on all sorts of wine geek terminology, from baglio (a walled courtyard common among contemporary wineries) to cappello sommerso (submerged cap maceration). Learn how to say varietal names -- Italian growers pronounce it for you on the site -- and discover which vintage middle-class wine collectors are snapping up.
Parzen lives in Houston, but considers San Francisco the nation's hub of Italian food and wine. When in town, he hangs with A16's Shelley Lindgren and eats at Noe Valley's La Ciccia.
First encounter: "I grew up thinking that Robert Mondavi Private Reserve Select was the apex of fine wine. But in 1991, when I was living in Montalcino, I was eating fried boar liver with my friend Ricardo, and his father opened some homemade Sangiovese. The wine's acidity was so vibrant, it tasted electric on my palate."
Latest discovery: "One of the most exciting Italian red wines right now is Aglianico del Vulture, east of Campania. The wines have so much depth and represent such incredible value. I'm a huge fan of Musto Carmelitano, who uses only native yeasts and chemical-free farming. The wines have the acidity and clarity of fruit that makes them truly food-friendly. An entry-level bottle goes for $25."
Tuesday night pairing: "Aged cheese: When you combine the wine's distinct minerality and bright red fruit with the cheese, you get that salty and sweet combination that is the mark of greatness."

Ferguson accused his play-off hopefuls of letting the club down in the wake of a dismal home defeat.
Posh gifted City striker Sam Baldock a simple early brace before failing to haul themselves level despite playing the final 70 minutes against 10 men following the dismissal of Adam El-Abd.
Ferguson said: "I have been so patient with these players, but to start a game in the manner we did is a disgrace.
"They showed a lack of character, a lack of fight and I'm not having any more of it.
"They have let the club down, let the fans down and let themselves down.
"If they think they can just turn up and win a game they are living in cloud cuckoo land.
"I won't shirk away from my responsibilities as manager, but you are only as good as your players.
"If my lot were left to their own devices they would be relegated by now. That is the truth."
Posh fell behind after 10 minutes when Baldock nodded in after Brendan Moloney had headed Wade Elliott's cross back into the danger area.
Baldock was left with another easy task six minutes later after Elliott had beaten Posh goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik to Jay Emmanuel-Thomas' flick and hooked the ball across.
City defender El-Abd saw red after an off-the-ball clash with Posh forward Britt Assombalonga, but the home side took a while to warm to their task.
Michael Bostwick pulled them back into contention when finding the net with their first effort on target - a glancing header from Grant McCann's corner.
Posh dominated the second period, but could not turn their possession into a leveller, thanks largely thanks to a couple of terrific late saves from Frank Fielding.
The City goalkeeper produced an outstanding reaction save to deny Nicky Ajose before getting a fingertip to Assombalonga's header.

Every economic system has its own cultural consequences. With communism, you get gigantic statues and an unusual volume of patriotic music, played at unusual volume. With socialism, you get swimming pools and depressing movies. Capitalism too is a cultural as well as an economic phenomenon.
Connections with certain artefacts (red suspenders, cigars) and games (golf, electoral politics) have long been noted. One of the most interesting proclivities, however, is a periodic compulsion to shower vast sums of money on people in their 20s. Usually, a capitalist society will satisfy this desire by bestowing fortunes directly on gifted athletes or popular musicians, but in special circumstances, it resorts to a more complex ritual, the Initial Public Offering.

I have a strong passion to excel in anything I set out to do. I am tremendously grateful for the opportunities I have been given to make this possible. I spend most of my time learning about how to improve my skills and developing a strong mentality in order to be successful, responsible, and hard working.
I am a Texas State graduate who majored with a B.S. in Electronic Media. Eat 'Em Up, Cats!
I produce and compose music as a hobby. Not a day goes by where I'm not reading or watching the NBA or NA-LCS. I'm currently saving up for a tattoo!
B.S. in Mass Communication-Electronic Media. Cum Laude. I choose this field because it is pivotal for many businesses to succeed. I enjoy learning and utilizing new technologies, and I was excited to start taking courses about radio, television, public relations, web development, and advertising.
Many of the courses taught here are conducted by amazing professors who encourage students to work hard and seek out opportunities everywhere. They encourage me to follow my passion to create.
During the 2014 summer, I enrolled in a web development boot camp in San Antonio. It was a intensive 12-week programming course where I learned the LAMP Stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), plus JavaScript, HTML/CSS, jQuery and the PHP MVC framework Laravel.
I learned plenty of valuable skills as a web developer because of this program. You can view my work here.
To increase my knowledge about audio engineering, music production, and sound recording technology, I enrolled in the Audio Engineering Institute of San Antonio. The courses taught me about important musical concepts, practical knowledge about mixing, compressors, delay, reverberation, mastering, and much more.
On multiple occasions, I assisted the instructors on setting up the studio for recording, "micing" up band equipment, and providing technical experience when prompted. I assisted and mixed with a live sound engineer at Backstage Live in San Antonio and toured with a country / folk band for a weekend, operating the mixer and assisting in the band set up.
I maintained a 3.53 GPA throughout high school. As a result, I graduated in the top 10% of my class. I was active in a few extra curricular activities such as DECA and AFJROTC.

A Must Read - Share
By Kevin Drawbaugh and Nanette Byrnes (Reuters) - Verizon Communications Inc's chances of buying the 45-percent stake in Verizon Wireless owned by the UK's Vodafone Group Plc will hinge, at least in part, on the quality of tax advice it is getting. Verizon, the No. 2 U.S. telecommunications company, may have found a way to structure a purchase of the stake so that Vodafone can avoid a multi-billion dollar U.S. capital gains tax bill, sources familiar with Verizon's plans said. The possibility of a huge tax bill has previously been regarded by analysts as a big hurdle to any

Kyoto Day 3 and the Golden Temple
August 27, 2008 | Author: Adun | In: Anime Blogs, Everyday Life, Japan, Photography
There is so much more that I want to see around Kyoto, but alas it was the final full day of us being in Kyoto. Due to a rather intense day of walking from Day 2, we decided to take it a little easier this time and the first place we headed to was Kinkakuji (or what is known as the Golden Temple). Hit the jump to check out more.
Having looked up the location, we took a taxi as we discovered that the actual temple isn't that far from the ryokan. By the time we got there, there were already a number of tourist around but when we got into the temple grounds there weren't that many around. There was a bell that we could also ring so I took the chance to pray and ring. Though I must say it was quite loud. Moving along we came to a view of the Golden Temple itself and it certainly was a site to behold.
I stood there for quite a while admiring the scenery whilst trying to avoiding all the tourist trying to take photos. Before I came here I saw photos of the temple when it was covered in snow and could only imagine how beautiful it would be to see that kind of scenery. Continuing down the path we came across some gift shops and a small shrine where I bought some souvenirs.
Once we got outside the temple grounds, we headed out to check some of the surrounding souvenir stores and was rather tempted to buy a "Nan de ya nen" t-shirt. At this point we were feeling hungry and decided to head out to Kyoto JR station and check out a bit of the stores there. We took a taxi which took roughly around 30 minutes and by the time we got there we looked for a place to eat. Eventually we came across the food court section and entered a pizza and pasta place.
The surrounding shops of Kyoto JR station have a variety of things to look at and this was the opportunity to look for souvenirs for relatives back home. Not to mention that I would have to buy it now before blowing away my money in Tokyo. One of the items I've always wanted was a sakura printed tea cup. Luckily I was able to find one as well as find the one item my mum asked me to get.
After wondering around for a while more checking out other stores, we decided that we should call it a day since we were still quite tired from the hike up Fushimi-Inari Shrine. So we headed back to the ryokan and rested for the whole afternoon. I also took this opportunity to catch up on some anime before taking a quick nap. I also managed to take a random phoot of the garden inside the ryokan.
Soon enough it reached dinner time. Checking out the local map supplied to us by the ryokan owner, we chose the sushi train that was only a mere 2 minute walk. The pricing of this sushi place was different to other sushi trains that I have been to as this one was ¥147 per plate, regardless of the type. Between the four of us, we ate about 45 plates of sushi.
So with the third day of Kyoto it wasn't as eventful as the 2nd day, but it was still an experience. With my last day of Kyoto, I certainly did a lot more compared to last time I was there. But in the end I still think that 3 days is too short for Kyoto. If you do plan to goto Kyoto, make sure to plan out more than 3 days. Next time I come to Kyoto I would probably come for 7 days.

Worked great right out of the box. I read the reviews and didn't have any of the problems stated in the negative comments. I even used the HF powder. Used an old toaster and tried a few smalls and was the finish was incredible. Extremely happy with this unit.
Worked perfect right out of box,coat was even,smooth and looks great only wish hf had more colors. This unit is the exact same as major brands. Didn't have any of the problems listed in the lower rated reviews.

Work awesome with other powders.
By Reverse Trike Man
from Pleasant Hill, MO
Gun worked fine but paint was lumpy. Spent a lot of time sifting paint but will make sure future paint appears good before purchase. Do wish they carried cups and feel that the containers that the paint comes in should look different since they do not fit the gun. Did finally find replacement cups that are supposed to fit. Once I acquired better paint the results blew my socks off. Color and finish would be had to beat except at the pro level.

New to my shop.
By Imgizmo
from Portland, Maine
I have never worked with powder coating before but it turns out to be very simple. Not knowing much about powder coating other than watching a few videos on you-tube I was surprised as to how well my first try turned out. I was also suprised to find out that even if you make mistakes there are various ways to either correct them or depending on where you are in the process you can start over. I believe I will get a lot of use out of this product making my projects look more professional.My only wish is that H. F. would stock more colors but there are other suppliers out there.
As good as the more expensive ones.

Powder Coating System and powder...Love this machine...
By Mr. FixIt

I normally do not give reviews...if something does not work right, I just trash it and never buy again...having said that...this Powder Coating System by Chicago Electric is AWESOME..I had to leave a 5+ rating...this thing is easy to use and powder coats all types of metals to a super finish and a rock hard coat..you can cheaply buy several colors and in a couple of hours you will have a like new finish (maybe better). The secret to it all is preparation of the part...the actual powder coating only takes a few minutes..then you bake it in a electric oven.DONT use your household oven..toxic fumes..the best way to prep the parts is to remove all grease, paint, or other finish by sandblasting..if you dont have one, slower but just as effective is sandpaper...you must remove all old finish..heat the part 10 minutes in a oven at 300 degress..wear rubber gloves, put it on a clean cotton cloth, spray with 50-50 solution of Acetone and Rubbing Alcohol..this removes all grease, fingerprints and other contaminations...dont be shy..use a good amount of solution and rub the part thourhorly...let dry...then powder coat..follow all directions...I use 15 lbs. of air pressure...used the tip that was installed out of the box....cook part for 30 minutes at 400 degrees....let cool till cool to touch...it will be perfect..tough finish and looks good..YouTube shows a lot of examples.. Have tried steel, copper, brass, aluminum etc. all look great...get one..you must have acess to a air compressor..a small one works fine...surface prep is a MUST.............go for it....

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – March 1, 2010 – The President's Top 100 are among Ducks Unlimited's elite chapters in the nation. Every year, the list is reserved for the 100 chapters that raise the most grassroots dollars for DU's habitat conservation work. Sixteen Texas DU chapters have made the list, and Texas DU volunteers are leading the charge for wetlands conservation.
"The Texas staff and volunteers are a strong group who are focused on conserving their waterfowl-hunting heritage," said David Schuessler, director of fundraising and volunteer recruitment for Texas DU. "The chapters are competitive and they have a good time putting on great events."
The 16 Texas chapters earned a spot on the President's Top 100 list out of more than 3,500 DU chapters nationwide. DU's grassroots system has become a model for other conservation organizations worldwide and has funded a portion of the more than 12 million acres DU has conserved since 1937.
"I really feel that our volunteers in Texas understand the issues waterfowl populations are facing and how raising money for DU's work continentally benefits everyone, including Texas," explained Schuessler. "I'm proud of these chapters and the men and women who work hard to organize these events."
Ducks Unlimited is a unique organization because it relies on the generosity and passion of its volunteers to accomplish its goals. Striving for success, the Top 100 chapter volunteers, like all DU volunteers, never fail to answer the call.
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 13 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

City Manager Mary Suhm testifies in laid-off Dallas employee trial; tomorrow, case goes to jury — or not
Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm took the witness stand this afternoon, testifying in the federal trial over former city employee Bruton Stephens' allegations that he was retaliated against and laid off for a series of grievances he had made. Suhm, dressed in all black, looked stern, grim and none to happy to be there. But she answered questions politely, with much the same demeanor as when she tackles difficult questions from the City Council.
She didn't make things particularly easy for Stephens' attorney, Corinna Chandler. Suhm often answered that, as it was several years ago, she didn't remember specifics. And a couple of times she headed in the opposite direction Chandler was trying to lead her. "That's not how I'd characterize it, no," Suhm answered in response to Chandler's contention that the 2009 lay-off process was "decentralized," meaning managers within departments were called upon to make key decisions or recommendations.
Chandler's case hit rough waters last week early in the trial, when city attorneys were able to paint Stephens as evasive during cross examination. Since then, things haven't looked much better for him, as city attorneys have used other witnesses to portray him as a sort of serial complainer and whiner. Chandler's questioning of the witnesses, meanwhile — including Asst. City Manager Forest Turner, HR Director Molly McCall and public works Director Rick Galceran — has focused heavily on trying to show that Stephens' manager could have acted in retaliation, rather than that he actually did.
This afternoon, after Suhm's testimony, city attorneys asked the judge to dismiss all of Stephens' claims. They argued that his attorneys had failed to establish evidence sufficient even to bring to a jury. Federal District Judge Reed O'Connor plans to rule on that motion tomorrow. He instructed the jury to return at 10 a.m.

Emmy Nomination Preview 2013 - Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy
Will the four 'Modern Family' men stack the category again?
Next gallery »Meet the season 10 'So You Think You Can Dance' top 20
« Previous galleryEmmy Nomination Preview 2013 - Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy
Mike White of 'Enlightened'
Mike White, "Enlightened"
Nomination Status: A lock if Emmy voters watch "Enlightened," ergo... no chance at all.
In His Favor: Mike White makes my Top 6 shortlist in this category without hesitation. Leaving aside any credit you want to give him for writing the entire excellent second (and final) "Enlightened" season, White also gave himself a marvelous Emmy episode in "The Ghost Is Seen," which is one of my favorite half-hour episodes of the past year. Paired with Molly Shannon, White delivered an episode that's all heart-rending emotional moments and awkward near-comedy, one of the most achingly true romances you'll ever see depicted. It's really pretty beautiful stuff.
Working Against Him: In the first "Enlightened" season, White gave Diane Ladd one of the great Emmy showcase episodes of the past five or 10 years and she was ignored, just as Emmy voters completely ignored the show in its first season. Sadly, this'll just be one of those shows that Emmy voters didn't "get," not that I can quibble with any uncertainty about nominating White in a "comedy" category for a show this difficult to pigeon-hole.

Matthew McConaughey on His Oscar Nod, Emerson and Dissecting Success
Matthew McConaughey just received his first Oscar nomination this morning, for "Dallas Buyers Club," but the 44-year-old actor says he's had a number of victories already this year.
For "Dallas," McConaughey played Ron Woodroof, a homophobic Texas electrician who contracted HIV and led an alternative-drug-therapy movement for treating AIDS — a role that won him his first Golden Globe Award on Sunday. McConaughey also had strong supporting roles in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Mud," and filmed the new HBO miniseries "True Detective."
"I had a personal experience with them, and I had a wonderful adventure with these characters," the actor said in an interview shortly after receiving his Oscar nod. "All these experiences on their own really fulfilled me."
But the actor singled out "Dallas Buyers Club," calling it a passion project of his "that people said 'no' to for 20 years." Besides his nomination, the film received five other nods, including ones for supporting actor Jared Leto, screenplay and best picture.
"There's a lot of pride that goes with how well 'Dallas Buyers Club' is being represented and how the Academy nominated it in so many facets, just because at every step forward, somebody was trying to make us take two steps back and say, 'This is just not happening. It's just not possible,'" the actor said. "Eight days before shooting, I get a call from the director [Jean-Marc Vallee] who says 'I don't have enough money. I don't have enough days. But if you'll show up in eight days to shoot, I'll be there too.' I was like, 'Well I'm there.' And we went, and it was a bit of a wing and a prayer."
McConaughey talked with Speakeasy about his cantankerous character Ron, becoming vulnerable as an actor, and applying Emerson's philosophy to his life and views of success. Edited transcript below.
Is all this attention a way for you to hold on to Ron Woodroof and his story?
Yeah, absolutely. These kinds of roles don't come along that often, and if they do, no one wants to make them. It was a really original take on the AIDS crisis told from this one man's point-of-view. Who was a son-of-a-b—-. Who was not a saint. What an ironic anti-hero that a man out for self-preservation, unbeknownst to him, becomes a crusader. Becomes a face and a leader for change for a demographic that, like himself, had HIV. It had so much anarchy within the sentiment and the sensitivity, that was just part of what I thought was really original about it. We always knew that this was an important story about an important subject, but there was no guarantee that you were going to make an entertaining movie with that kind of material, especially with the budget and time constraints we had.
Do you feel when you were walking in Ron's footsteps, that you became much more vulnerable as an actor?
Well, I guess maybe if we were to sit here and say that the ultimate vulnerability is facing and understanding your own mortality, and then fighting with everything you've got to extend that. I mean what more of a position could be more vulnerable? But then again, this movie was very clear – this movie is not about dying. It's about living. The story's about: You got 30 days, but you made it seven years. So, this was a guy who was always playing offense. He chose not to lay back and recede, or receive. He had a lot of rage and a lot of opposition. That same son-of-a-b—- that you meet in the beginning of this film, the same traits of this cantankerous [man], that you go "he's despicable," those same qualities are exactly what led him to get so much done, and to survive. This is a real good example of what rage can do. He was never in a receptive mode. He was never going to fade out.
Playing offense is an interesting metaphor, and you're poetic in interviews. Do you read or write a lot?
I write a lot more than I read. Growing up, I always liked philosophy and I love aphorisms and [Ralph Waldo] Emerson. I remember Emerson, his essays — I still read them and I can only read like a page-and-a-half and I'm like, "Whoa. I've got to take that out now and practice that and try to apply that to my life." So I'm a very slow reader but good writing will set into me and then I'll have to put a marker, and I want to go see if I can apply these philosophies to life.
I do a lot of writing. Journal entries, social commentary, philosophies, life approaches. I try to dissect most things in my life and things of other people that I know that have been successful, and dissect success. I noticed it's so much easier to dissect failure but I found it to be important to go "hey, really take a moment with yourself, dissect what's going on when things are going well!" Because there's a science to it, you know? Just as there's a science to not being satisfied or not being as excited about the day, there's a science to being excited about what you're heading into. A lot of that for me and my work has been process, process, process. Don't worry about the result, get your head down as an actor. It's always one at a time, and that's one of the fun things about it, just going in and saying "look, do one man at a time."

SEBRING — The North team weathered a late rally from the West squad to hold on for a 4-3 victory in the 36th annual FACA All-Star Baseball Classic at Firemen's Field on Sunday.
The West mounted an improbable comeback against the East team on Saturday, but came up just short against the North, as Ocala-Vanguard's Darren Kelly closed the game with a spectacular 10th inning.
"It was nice to see the ball in his hands," said North coach Mike Bullock, who also serves as head coach at Ocala-Vanguard. "I've watched him for four years and it was good to have him out there — he was on."
After a tumultuous start to the afternoon, which saw both teams light up the scoreboard through the first four innings, pitching dominated the latter half of the game. The bats fell silent between the sixth and ninth innings, as opposing pitchers combined to strike out eight batters.
The defense in the field was airtight as well. In the bottom of the eight, with the West threatening to score with the bases loaded and only one out, Ponte Vedra's Max Miller and Tallahassee-Rickards' Tremayne Holmes turned a 6-4-3 double play to nullify the West's scoring opportunity.
After a quick 10th, the West went back to the plate hoping for another miracle. Sarasota's Dylan Busby led off the inning with a single, and errant throws in the infield let him scamper over to second base. Kelly recovered to strike out Clearwater Central Catholic's Brendon Overton and Sarasota's Brandon Overton, but Venice's Dalton Guthrie ripped a single to plate Busby and cut the deficit to 4-3.
Guthrie made his way over to second base, but then got greedy. Trying for third with Manatee's West Davis at the plate, Guthrie was picked off thanks to a heads up play by Pensacola-Catholic catcher Cody Henry and North Florida Christian's Jared Barnes. Guthrie's bungled steal attempt gifted the North a one-run victory.
"Both days our bullpen and defense played really well," Bullock said. "When we got deep into the later innings, people just came in and played well in low-scoring games. We didn't really give up much."
Bullock, who made his third appearance in the FACA Classic this year, added that it was nice to finally get a win on the first day.
"Being on the North for my third year in a row, I don't think we've beaten the South in the first game," he said. "This was the first chance to get to play in the second game and I was happy we got it done."
Bullock added that the logistics of ensuring 22 players get equal exposure in front of collegiate and MLB scouts is one of the Classic's biggest challenges.
"The biggest thing to remember is that this is for the kids," Bullock said. "They're all good and they all deserve to be here."
Bullock is acutely aware that a good outing in the prestigious Classic could boost a player's draft stock or lock up a Division I scholarship.
"The tricky thing is that some of these kids might play out of position when we go through pitchers, but we tried to give everyone five or six at-bats over the weekend," Bullock said. "The guys got together and really bonded over the weekend, too. The chemistry was good. They told me they wanted to come out here and win it, and they did."
"Everything was about baseball," Bullock added. "There were no attitudes or anything like that. It was all about playing the game."

This number scavenger hunt is brought to us by Kim Vij from The Educators' Spin On It.
Making an investment in wooden puzzles is one of the smartest things you can do as a parent for your child. However, at times they sit on the toy shelf and we wonder if there are other ways to use the puzzles. Here is a playful way to use your wooden puzzles in a way you may not have thought of before. PLUS sneak in a little number recognition too!
Number Scavenger Hunt Game
One fun way to use your puzzles is to encourage your child to play a scavenger hunt game with you. It's a great way to assess and build their number recognition and use your wooden puzzle.
Here's how to play the game…
- Grab numbers 0-20 or use the Melissa & Doug Chunky Number Puzzle.
- Encourage your child to close their eyes as you hide the numbers either indoors or explore outdoors.
- For younger children use a small area and fewer numbers.
- Choose a fun location to make a different spin on the game. We selected outdoors, to run around too.
- Once your child locates a number encourage them to bring it back to the puzzle board to place accordingly.
- As your child returns with the numbers they located, encourage them to verbally identify the numbers.
- If they are working on number recognition, role model the words "Look, you found the 7!" or "Wow, this is a 10!"
- Make the game a little more interesting by adding a Kids' Flashlight and search for numbers with it.
Extension Idea: Create your Own Number Book
To extend the fun you can create your own Photo Number Book. You can take pictures of where the numbers are hiding, and then print them out with your child. It's a creative way to use your puzzle in a different way – PLUS you are working on number recognition, positional words and building vocabulary and literacy skills. Here are some more ways to extend your Scavenger Hunt with a Rainy Day Number Hunt.
Hope you have fun with your Number Scavenger Hunt! Providing your child with various activities using different modes of learning can help them build confidence in their number recognition skills.

Comments about W3LL PEOPLE Nudist Lipshine Stick, 8, .18 oz:
The Poppy color is beautiful and brightens my whole complexion when I apply it. The product itself is very moisturizing and keeps my lips soft. I apply using the stick or I take a bit and spread it with my fingertips, which helps warm the product and melts it into the lips. Although the colors look a bit intense in the tube, they go on in a bright, sheer wash of color with the just the right amount of shine. The ingredients are great too.

At the same time it is also the case that Milgram is vilified for what is portrayed as an unacceptable breech of ethical standards. The controversy surrounding his methods led directly to the emergence of anethical framework that precluded further research along these lines. What remains is a social psychology unable to address some of the discipline's most important questions through fear of placing participants in situations of temporary stress. Yet in recent years the Milgram paradigm has been recreated for television.
In this presentation there will be a discussion of the processes behind a 'replication' of the paradigm for the BBC's Horizon programme. Dr. Stott will describe how the institutions of research and media handled the 'ethical responsibilities' and 'protected' the psychological wellbeing of participants. In so doing he attempts to expose the contradictions whereby the paradigm can be recreated for journalistic purposes but not for scientific research.

In this seminar I shall start with a resume of the project and some of the main conclusions that I and my collaborators* came to. But beyond that, I propose to use the project by way of a case study of the interactions between research ideas and Government and funding bodies' policies; sharing my experience of navigating through the old and new policy priorities that promote Collaboration, User-involvement, Dissemination, Impact, Special programmes, and discussing how this has affected the research. How far this under-song is an inevitable and transformative influence on public-funded research (and to what effect) is matter for debate. In my case, I would go so far as to say I can see an argument for crediting the funding body as a co-author.
* Chief collaborators were Dr Brian Balmer (STS Department) and Professor Jeremy Hebden (Medical Physics and Bioengineering), who were co-applicants on the various funding applications and co-authors of published work. I take however sole responsibility for the views expressed in this talk.
