Leodis McKelvin is the oldest cornerback on the Buffalo Bills at age 27, and he's the only cornerback on the roster with more than two years of NFL experience.
"It's a new role for me, as far as me being the oldest," McKelvin said after Tuesday's practice at One Bills Drive. "We're young but we have guys who have showed they have the ability to take a leadership role by what they do on the field and their playing ability."
The Bills would like to think they are young and talented at cornerback.
Buffalo needs some young guys to learn quickly, however, or the cornerback unit will be known as young and dangerously thin.
McKelvin and second-year man Stephon Gilmore form the starting duo. Gilmore is coming off an excellent rookie season. McKelvin has been in and out of the lineup over five seasons but earned himself a four-year contract extension from the Bills in February thanks to a capable four-game starting stint late last season.
After them? The competition is wide open.
The next two on the depth chart are speedy Ron Brooks, a fourth-round pick last year, and Justin Rogers, a seventh-round pick in 2011.
After them it's Crezdon Butler, T.J. Heath, Vernon Kearney, Kip Edwards, Nickell Robey and Jumal Rolle. Never heard of them? Don't feel bad.
Asked about the youth at corner, coach Doug Marrone said:
"I like it. I really do because sometimes when you come in and you are teaching new concepts … it is good to get them when they are fresh and they are not locked into a certain technique that they are doing. So I like a lot of those young guys back there."
It was a bit of a surprise the Bills did not draft a cornerback. An ideal time to pick one would have come with the 78th pick, in the third round. But five corners were taken between picks 60 and 71. Buffalo picked the fastest player in the draft, receiver Marquise Goodwin, instead.
The Bills' depth at safety may make the cornerback unit deeper than it appears. Aaron Williams, starting at free safety with Pro Bowler Jairus Byrd unsigned, is a converted corner who could drop down and cover a slot receiver. Rookie fourth-round pick Duke Williams has the ability, the Bills think, to cover slot receivers. Byrd has coverage ability, as well.
New defensive coordinator Mike Pettine liked to use a three-safety nickel scheme (with two cornerbacks) at times during his tenure with the New York Jets. Most teams keep six cornerbacks on the roster.
McKelvin said it's important for the Bills' defensive backs to work together, especially since veteran secondary leader George Wilson left in free agency.
"Everybody's got to take an extra step," McKelvin said. "There's not that somebody who's like George. He was a real big brother for all of us."
"All of us have to pitch in and contribute as one group," he said. "We do things off the field. We get together, go out to eat, try to be a tight group. We want to communicate with each other and talk with each other and keep that brotherly bond that we've always had."
Brooks, a Louisiana State product, ran a 40-yard dash time of 4.37 seconds before last year's draft. That's the best time of any corner on the roster. He missed the first half of last season with a foot injury and played only 153 defensive snaps over a five-game stretch late in the season.
Rogers, who has a slighter build than Brooks, played 537 snaps, or 49 percent of the defensive plays last season. He ran between 4.45 and 4.50 out of college. Butler, who the Bills liked out of Clemson in 2010, entered the league as a fifth-round pick but has barely played. He has tools, as well. He ran a 4.43 time and had a vertical jump of 39.5 inches, among the top 10 at cornerback over the past four years. Heath ran 4.46 out of college. Robey is a fine athlete, too, although he's only 5-foot-8, 165 pounds.
Can any of them cover as well as they run? The Bills have until September to figure it out.
The Bills claimed tight end Mickey Shuler Jr. off waivers from the Oakland Raiders. Shuler, 26, is a former seventh-round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2010. He played in six games with Miami in 2010, spent part of the 2011 season on the Vikings' practice squad and spent 11 weeks last season on the Raiders' practice squad.
The 6-foot-4, 247-pounder made 13 starts in his college career at Penn State but was used by the Nittany Lions mostly in a blocking role in two-TE sets. Blocking was viewed as his strength coming out of college. He's the son of the former Jets' All-Pro tight end. The Bills released receiver Kevin Norrell.

(TORONTO, ON - JUNE, 2010) - The newest coating from Benjamin Moore is called Advance™ and with good reason: This is an alkyd-based interior paint powered by the brand's Gennex waterborne colourant system that moves the needle well past what others in the category offer on the innovation dial.
"Advance is truly an alkyd, not a hybrid," said Carl Minchew, director of product development for Benjamin Moore, who explained that the new product delivers all of the performance virtues demanded of an oil-based paint, yet has other characteristics common to latex. "It's practically an oxymoron that defies belief and is definitely history-making. Advance cleans up with soap and water and is as green as they come, with a low-VOC content of less than 50 grams per liter, well below the 250 to 500 count for most other alkyds, and with significantly reduced odor."
Advance reflects Benjamin Moore's advance on the technology in so many ways. A mineral versus petroleum formulation of the alkyd is one of the key differentiators between Advance and the acrylic-based hybrids. It is the mineral-based formulation that enables the water dispersion of the Benjamin Moore tints. And, of course, one of the tremendous advantages of the Benjamin Moore Gennex tints is that they are totally VOC-free, so Advance is authentically low-VOC even after the colourant is added, and regardless the colour choice, which numbers more than 1,800. Custom colour matching also is available.
Though alkyd paint typically is preferred for trims, doors, furniture wainscoting, chair rails, base moldings and cabinetry, Advance will likely win favour as a wall paint, as well, with a flat sheen and primer soon to be added to a range that initially includes pearl and high gloss. The application is easy, with excellent flow and leveling traits. Advance will stay whiter longer than conventional alkyds, and it dries to a hard, durable surface promising years of beauty.
"Advance is a painting contractor's dream come true when it comes to alkyds," said Minchew. "It's also epitomizes Benjamin Moore's unceasing dedication to develop paints and coatings that are responsive to the market's evolving needs while preserving the well-being of our environment."
Advance is available in quarts and gallons; primer and flat also will be offered in a five-gallon capacity. MSRP, $59.99 per gallon.

Scientists have devised a simple technique for identifying the mRNA targets of specific miRNAs directly in normal or diseased live cells. The approach, called miRNA target RNA affinity purification (miR-TRAP), doesn't use antibodies, so minimizes nonspecific background signals. And in addition to identifying mRNA targets that are downregulated by a specific miRNA , it can also identify those mRNAs whose translation is repressed by an miRNA and that can't be identified by existing techniques such as quantitative PCR and microarray analysis.
miR-TRAP has been developed by a team at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute. The approach basically turns miRNA molecules into photoreactive probes by conjugating them to psoralen (Pso). The miRNA-psoralen probes interact with their target mRNAs in a cell, and the cells are then exposed to UVA radiation, which causes the PSo molecule on the miRNA mimic to react with the uridine on its target mRNA, generating a covalently bound complex. The miRNA-mRNA complex can then be recovered using biotin-streptavidin affinity purification and the mRNA target identified.
Sandford-Burnham's Tariq M. Rana, Ph.D., and colleagues claim a major advantage of the miR-TRAP technique is that photocrosslinking using Pso requires a UV radiation wavelength of 360 nm, which is less damaging to cells than the shorter, 254 nm UV radiation used in another miRNA target identification technique known as HITS-CLIP. The Pso-crosslinked product can also be photoreversed once isolated, by treatment with short wave UV radiation.
The researchers describe their technique in Angewandte Chemie International Edition in a paper titled "miR-TRAP: A Benchtop Chemical Biology Strategy to Identify microRNA Targets." The team used the platform to analyze 13 predicted targets of two important miRNAs: miRNA-135b and miRNA-29a. As well as identifying the known mRNA targets for both the miRNAs, miR-TRAP also identified two new targets; Elk3 for miRNA-135b and Tet2 for miRNA-29a.
The researchers hope that miR-TRAP will aid in the discovery of miRNA targets in a range of diseases, and are applying the technique to a number of disease models. "miR-TRAP will help bridge a gap in the RNA field, allowing researchers to better understand diseases like cancer and target their genetic underpinnings to develop new diagnostics and therapeutics," Dr. Rana states. "This will become especially important as new high-throughput RNA sequencing technologies increase the numbers of known miRNAs and their targets."

Dipson Theatres plans to begin showing second-run movies at its McKinley Mall 6, a changeover that takes effect one week from today.
The move lowers the cost of seeing a show at the six-screen Hamburg theater from a peak price of $9, for a new release, to $1.75, and makes the McKinley Mall 6 one of just two second-run movie theaters in the area.
Dipson officials said the move is partly a response to competition from the nearby, first-run Quaker Crossing cinema, operated by Regal Entertainment Group, but primarily an attempt to reach what they believe is an under-served part of the local movie market.
"I believe there is more of a demand" for second-run showings, Bryan Spokane, a Dipson vice president, said Thursday.
Dipson, which operates eight theaters in Western New York, has owned the McKinley Mall Cinemas for nine years. The theater previously was owned by General Cinema.
But Dipson faces intense competition from Regal's Quaker Crossing, located less than 2 miles away, in bringing in the most popular first-run movies, Spokane said, and this was a factor in the chain's decision to change the format for the McKinley Mall Cinemas.
Now, he said, "We can play whatever we want to play there."
Second-run theaters get their movies once the pictures have finished their booking at the first-run theaters, usually within two or three months, Spokane said.
Dipson now charges $9 for an evening adult ticket and adds a $2.50 surcharge for 3-D movies, which can be shown on two of the six screens at the McKinley Mall theater. The theater offers various discounts for matinee showings, students, seniors and others.
The price will stay at $1.75 for all showings, Spokane said, though Dipson will continue its promotion of half-price popcorn and pop every Tuesday.
Spokane said the change, which goes into effect next Friday, won't lead to any layoffs at the theater and could prompt Dipson to hire additional workers if, as the chain expects, the lower ticket prices lead to a boost in business.
Currently the only second-run theater in Erie County is Cheektowaga's MovieLand 8, where shows are $4 normally but $2 on Wednesdays and Fridays.
"We hope more people will go through the doors, so we'll need to hire more," Spokane said.
The growing availability of movies on demand, streamed over the Internet or downloaded to mobile devices, is putting severe pressure on movie theaters.
But Spokane said Dipson remains optimistic about its future and he pointed to the chain's ongoing conversion from film reels to digital projectors.
Four of the six screens at the McKinley Mall theater are digital, and the other two will be converted by the first quarter of next year.
"It was a huge investment on our part," Spokane said. "We are extremely confident moving forward."

The story of Camp Marion is one that most people probably don't know, even though they might be walking on its very grounds.
Yet for its relative obscurity – the place was in existence less than a year – Camp Marion is a fascinating part of Summerville and American history.
When the Spanish-American War broke out in 1898, President William McKinley put out a call for 125,000 volunteer soldiers to bolster the ranks of the small standing regular army, and the U.S. Army soon began establishing military camps for training, housing, and mobilizing these new troops. Established in 1898, Camp Marion was one of a number of training camps for these volunteer units. It was thought that the Southern camps not only would help acclimatize soldiers for duty in Cuba and Puerto Rico but that volunteer troops assigned to these camps, especially along the east coast, could supplement the regular army garrisons in case of an invasion from Spain, according to historian Frederick Gregurus, who compiled information on army camps during the Spanish American War.
The camp was located close to the intersection of Marion and Carolina Avenues, near the Pine Forest Inn, on the same property that Shepard Park is now located, according to Gregurus.
To read existing history regarding Camp Marion, one barely gets a glimmer of its short existence, much less any contributions it might have made to Summerville or to the nation as a whole. Yet there are nuggets to be found.
For example, while they were here, some of the soldiers helped build St. John the Beloved Catholic Church's first sanctuary building, which was dedicated in April 1898.
One of those soldiers, Private Herbert O. Kelley of the 14th Pennsylvania, would go on to become a printer, labor union organizer, and veterans affairs advocate, eventually becoming the first National Commander of the American Veterans of Foreign Service, now known as the VFW.
Another group of soldiers who were at Camp Marion from November 1898 until the end of April 1899 was the 9th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Battalion, an African American unit.
Their commander, Major Charles Young, was one of the most distinguished, accomplished officers in U.S. military history, notes Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Jordan M. Simmons, III who grew up in Summerville.
Simmons served with the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam as an Infantry officer, and in the Gulf War. He also was one of the students wounded at S. C. State University during the 1968 incident known as the Orangeburg Massacre. He said he learned about Camp Marion and Colonel Young while he was researching the military service of his great-great grandfather, Private Jordan Swindel, who served with the Union's 35th Regiment, U. S. Colored Infantry, an all African American unit of former slaves and freed men enlisted in North Carolina. The unit was sent to Summerville prior to the end of the Civil War.
Sadly, because of the times in which he lived, Charles Young not only faced enormous hurdles endemic in an era of intense racism, but his story has been shamefully obscured over time. Thus, Simmons felt it important not only to bring Young's story, and the story of Camp Marion to light, but also to encourage others to take an active interest in Summerville's rich and storied – and sometimes unknown – history.
According to numerous sources, including Buffalosoldier.com, the Ohio State Historical Society, The National Archives, U.S. Park Service, and US Army and Navy Journal, Charles Young was born March 12, 1864, in Mayslick, Kentucky, the son of former slaves. Young's family relocated to Ripley, Ohio, where he attended the white high school, graduating at age 16 with honors. After graduation, he taught school in Ripley's black high school and it was during that time he took a competitive examination for and received an appointment to West Point. Young graduated in 1889, the third African American to do so. Upon graduation he was assigned to the Tenth and the Seventh cavalries where he was promoted to first lieutenant. His army career would span some 28 years, all with black troops, and would see him become the first African American to achieve officer rank at full colonel.
In 1903 while stationed at the Presidio, San Francisco, Young was appointed acting superintendent of Sequoia and General Grant national parks, another first for an African American. Young, quickly realizing the value of the pristine environment and the need to allow safe and lower impact access to the park, accomplished major milestones during his tenure there, completing roads to the Giant Forest and Moro Rock. Recognizing the damage tourists were causing to the sequoias, he also erected the first fences around the most abused trees, and urged the state and national governments to acquire patents to protect the land. As Young himself observed in his comments to the Department of the Interior, "Indeed a journey through this park and the Sierra Forest Reserve to Mount Whitney country will convince even the least thoughtful man of the needfulness of preserving these mountains just as they are."
Young served with great distinction in many roles and assignments, as an intelligence/counter-intelligence officer in the Philippines and in Haiti, as a diplomat, as a field commander. Because of his exceptional leadership of the 10th Cavalry during Pershing's campaign against Pancho Villa, he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and was briefly Fort Huachuca's commander in Texas, according to Buffalosoldier.com
Sadly, when the U.S. entered WW I in 1917, he was ordered for a medical evaluation rather than given a troop command in Europe. He was diagnosed with high blood pressure and forced to retire. However, shortly after his retirement he rode his horse from Ohio to Washington D.C. to prove he was fit for duty, petitioned the Secretary of War for reinstatement, and returned to full duty as a full colonel.
Instead of France, however, he was sent to Nigeria as military attaché, where he died in 1922.
His funeral was one of only a few to ever be held in Arlington National Cemetery's Memorial Amphitheater and he was buried in Arlington Cemetery with full military honors.

Debate this meme:
My initial thought wasn't "ugh Jesus I'm offended" (as comments on this meme talked about why should we worry about offending those who don't believe) it was, ok, so to appeal to a wider market they don't talk about Jesus. Fine, but why would that threaten someone's personal beliefs? Like, if I can't talk about Jesus on a show that I am in or in a job that I do, I can't do that job? Is religion not mainly a private thing anyway?
Of course I found this on FB and the comments included the title of my OP, since 99.9% of people in the USA are Christians it's ok to talk about Jesus all the time. An added question for debate - why would anyone actually think that? Ignorance? Indoctrination? Or just refusing to look outside the box?

C++ AMP (Accelerated Massive Parallelism) is a small set of open specification language extensions (two of them) and a single library (amp.h) that makes general purpose GPU programming (aka GPGPU) a first class, seamless experience in modern C++.
You've been able to experiment with C++ AMP since the VS11 Developer Preview back in September 2011. We figured it was a good time to go C9 on the C++ AMP team. So, we did. Four interviews have been conducted that pretty thoroughly cover C++ AMP and the people who design, implement, and test it. C++ AMP is a great technology for native developers seeking to harness the power of the GPU using the language and tools they are already comfortable with. C++ AMP is also an open specification and we'll see other compiler vendors producing C++ AMP implementations for their target platforms soon—that's been the goal since Day 1.
Here, we meet the C++ AMP development team: Team leader Don McCrady, Dev Amit Agarwal, Dev Charles Fu, Dev Lingli Zhang, Dev Simon Wybranski, Dev Steve Deitz and Dev Weirong Zhu. Tune in to understand how C++ AMP is made and how it may evolve. These are among my favorite types of interviews. I love talking to developers. Tune in. Learn.

If the federal spending cuts known as "the sequester" go through beginning today, it will be a terrible calamity, the White House warns.
Really? A spending cut of nearly identical magnitude kicked in Jan. 1, and it didn't seem to upset anyone in Washington.
Perhaps that is because the Jan. 1 cut forced you, not Uncle Sam, to tighten your belt.
President Barack Obama's spin doctors have increased the dosage of propaganda they are prescribing this week, as the deadline for the sequester approaches. Their goal is to whip up a public opinion frenzy calculated to pressure Congress into approving tax increases Obama wants as part of a deal to forestall the sequester.
Part of the public relations blitz simply isn't true. For example, it was being reported Monday that if the sequester cuts occur, they will slash $85 billion in federal spending between March 1 and the end of September.
Not true. The $85 billion figure represents sequester cuts on an annual basis. With just seven months left in the fiscal year, the actual reduction for the period would be about $46 billion.
At a rate of $85 billion a year within the $3.8 trillion federal budget for this year, allowing the sequester to take place would reduce federal spending by only about 2.3 percent.
During 2011-12, we taxpayers got a bit of a break in the amount of our paychecks withheld to help pay for Social Security. For two years, 4.2 percent of our pay was withheld for the purpose.
But Obama and Congress allowed that to expire Jan. 1, letting the withholding rate go up to 6.2 percent. Washington is keeping 2 percent more of what you earn than it did last year.
That means the approximately 143.3 million Americans who have jobs were forced on Jan. 1 to cut our spending (or saving) by 2 percent - nearly the same rate of belt-tightening Uncle Sam faces from the sequester.
You don't recall White House wailing and gnashing of teeth about that, because virtually nothing was said in Washington when we taxpayers were told we had to make do with less.
Puts anguish over the sequester in a different light, doesn't it?

The highest possible hand in poker. Playing Hold 'em, if you hold As, 3s and the board is Qs, 8s, Kd, 2s, 9c you are said to be holding "the nuts." The terminology is said to refer to the fact that poker is a partial information game, meaning that when you bet, you don't know if you're winning or losing. This being the case, you have to have "nuts" (as in testicles) to have the nerve to bet. The only case when you can bet in poker without "testicles" would be if you had the best possible hand and could not be beaten, hence the term "nuts"
Joe won that large pot over Carl because Carl only had a flush, but Joe had the nuts with four of a kind.

The Vampire Diaries star Joseph Morgan is ready to say goodbye to Mystic Falls and move on to The Originals, but says that the door is always open for more Klaus-and-Caroline stories to be told.
On the Season 4 finale, Klaus finally said the words to Caroline (Candice Accola) that she was waiting to hear: "Tyler is now free to return to Mystic Falls." But this wasn't Klaus' way of stating that he was moving on. Instead he added, "He's your first love. I intend to be your last."
Vampire Diaries Video: Nina Dobrev on Elena's future and her epic fight scene with Katherine
"[There was] a responsibility for the fans who were rooting for Klaus and Caroline to at least give them some sort of resolve," Morgan told TVGuide.com at The CW upfront. "That's not saying it's the end of that because there's the potential of crossovers, but to acknowledge that we owed that to them. It was really generous of [the writers] that after all the terrible things that Klaus has done, to give me something where he can come in and save the day."

An IEEE Conference Proceeding is the official record of an IEEE Conference. It is a collection of documents, paper or electronic, that corresponds to the papers accepted for presentation at the conference, along with additional information such as title and copyright pages that identifies the collection as a set or group.
Conference proceedings must be prepared according to the following specifications. This will ensure that papers are prepared and submitted as Xplore-compatible PDFs for distribution through the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
View IEEE PDF Specification for IEEE Xplore (ZIP, 970 KB).
Below are three options to ensure that PDFs are created in the correct format.
IEEE eXpress Conference Publishing and Conference Publishing Services (CPS), a division of IEEE Computer Society, both offer fee-based publishing services specializing in preparation of PDFs for the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Click on the link above to contact the preferred IEEE publishing group.
Xplore-compliant PDFs may be prepared by a third-party vendor. The vendor should review the IEEE Xplore requirements and confirm its capability to deliver an Xplore-compliant package of files. IEEE Publishing Technology Resources are available for assistance.
Conference organizers whose authors are preparing their own PDFs must first register their conference for IEEE PDF eXpress – a free, online tool for authors that will allow them to either convert documents into compatible PDFs or to submit PDFs for compatibility testing.
Visit IEEE PDF eXpress for more information and to register
The following steps are for conference organizers who are not using an IEEE Publishing Service option.
1. Read IEEE Conference Proceedings Defined (PDF, 90 KB) to ensure that the PDFs prepared for submission to IEEE represent a complete conference publication. At minimal, conference proceedings include a cover, front and back matter and authors' technical papers.
2. Download the Adobe Sample distiller settings (ZIP, 94 KB) to ensure Xplore compatibility if accepting PDFs from various sources. Note that some settings are required, some recommended and others suggested.
3. Refer to the Supplemental Electronic Material (multimedia) Overview (ZIP, 380 KB) if allowing authors to prepare PDFs containing supplemental electronic material (multimedia). This overview provides detailed information about support for multimedia and explains how the files must be organized and what support files are necessary. Choose between two methods of multimedia access, both described in the overview.
Use the Supplemental Electronic Material Metadata Capture Tool (ZIP, 3 MB) to make supplemental electronic material accessible via links within a PDF.
Download the Pitstop Server and Pitstop Professional Profiles (ZIP, 3KB) to ensure Xplore compatibility.
4. Once all author PDFs are obtained, prepare a Packing List using the Packing List Generator Tool (ZIP, 820 KB). This tool allows you to identify all PDF files by content type, which ensures that all files can be accounted for during processing. Please remember to include all front matter with your conference proceedings submission (Cover, Table of Contents, Author Index, etc.) as well as on your Packing List. If these files do not appear on the Packing List, they will not be uploaded to IEEE Xplore.
5. Copy all files (including Packing List, covers, front matter, table of contents, back matter and author index) onto a CD-ROM as individual PDFs, not as a single, concatenated PDF. This is your IEEE Xplore-compliant CD. Note that this Xplore-compliant CD is not the same as the conference proceedings on CD-ROM that may be distributed to attendees at the conference.
6. Deliver the Xplore-compliant CD to the IEEE Conference Publications Program staff. Include all materials requested in the Letter of Acquisition.

• The records of 42 children hospitalized after a serious fresh-water accident were studied retrospectively. Nine variables thought to be indicative of neurologic outcome in near-drowned patients were analyzed by means of a stepwise discriminant function procedure. The presence of coma and fixed and dilated pupils on examination in the emergency room perfectly predicted those patients who would die (24%) or sustain severe and permanent brain damage (16% of the survivors). All dead or badly brain-damaged patients drowned or nearly drowned in warm water (> 20 °C). Easily obtained prognostic neurologic findings may be important in assessing the efficacy of resuscitation measures in pediatric near-drowning victims, particularly those who were immersed in warm water.

Freqently Asked Questions
A: This is going to depend on whether you're actually removing a scratch or just polishing what seems to be a very dull area. If you are removing a scratch, keep in mind the process is going to work a lot like sanding and finishing. It will require starting with a point that can reduce the appearance of the scratch. Then work into finer accessories from there. You may have to try a couple of items. For example, you may want to try a diamond wheel point. This will tend to create a more etched appearance on the glass. If removing a larger scratch, start with that. Then move to finer items like emery-impregnated points, a felt polishing point with polishing compound on it and finally rubber polishing points.
A: This will depend on the stone. It may be very difficult to achieve a high polish on some stones. Semi-precious stones are going to polish in a fashion similar to glass, where the scratches or flaws are reduced in size and then polishing compound helps draw out the shine. Keep in mind that the polishing compound we offer is not the only compound available. Polishing compounds will also have a higher grit rating. You may have to move up the scale to get the appearance you desire.
A: Brass is one of the softer metals, and should only be polished with soft materials like the cloth polishing wheel. Care should be given to start with polishing items that will not create more scratching. Start with polishing compound and then proceed from there. If you are removing a scratch, keep the polishing area small, or you could find yourself polishing forever. Keep in mind that if you are polishing an item that is only brass plated, you could easily remove the plating with the polishing compound and tool. Stainless steel is a little different. It's tougher than brass. You could also find that polishing compound could get caught in the porous finish of stainless, and it would be difficult to polish out. If you are not achieving the look you need on stainless, consider a polishing compound that has higher grit.
A: Try cleaning with a bristle brush. The bristle brush will get in and around many areas that might otherwise be tough to get at. The bristle brush isn't aggressive enough to scratch or damage the gemstone.
A: It is a solid compound. There is a fallacy that exists about polishing compounds and waxes. It is the concept that "more is better." That isn't really true. When using waxes and polishes, it is often more effective to use a more conservative amount and then repeat rather than have to remove an excess. If you apply too much polishing compound to the material being polished, the excess polish coupled with the speed of the tool will create swirl marks on the surface being polished. Removing those will require several clean felt or cloth polishing wheels.

The Stetson University men's basketball team turned in an outstanding performance in the classroom during the spring semester, placing six players on the University honor roll, including four who earned Dean's List honors.
The Hatters posted an overall team GPA of 3.027 for the spring semester, up from a 3.017 for the fall.
In addition, four members of the Hatters' hoops squad were singled out by the Atlantic Sun Conference for academic excellence during the 2011-12 school year.
"We're extremely proud of the effort and results in the classroom," Stetson coach Casey Alexander said. "Stetson has an incredible academic reputation and our basketball program needs to reflect that."
The four players recognized by the A-Sun were sophomore guard Hunter Miller, junior guard J.R. Weston, junior center Adam Pegg and junior forward Liam McInerney.
Weston was one of 41 student-athletes from across the Atlantic Sun, in all sports, to be named to the Presidential Scholar list, indicating a grade point average of 3.8 or better. He was one of just eight to hold a perfect 4.0 GPA.
Overall, Stetson placed seven student-athletes on the Presidential Scholar list.
McInerney joined Weston on the Conference Scholar list. That list included a total of 406 student-athletes from around the league, including 55 from Stetson. Those students were recognized for their sustained achievement over at least two years to go with a 3.4 or better GPA.
Pegg and Miller were both named to the league's All-Academic team, joining Weston and McInerney, earning recognition for at least a 3.0 GPA.
"The primary point of emphasis for us is a 3.0 cumulative GPA for the academic year," Alexander said. "We had six players named to the University honor roll with 3.0 or higher for the spring and four made the Dean's List with 3.5 or higher."
In addition to those recognized by the Atlantic Sun Conference, Jermol Paul, who was named to the spring honor roll at Stetson, graduated with a degree in Sport Management. Weston also graduated with a degree in Finance, and was also a member of the prestigious Roland George Program.
Junior guard Chris Perez was also named to Stetson's spring honor roll for having a 3.0 or better GPA during the spring semester.
Overall, the A-Sun recognized 1,416 student-athletes as All-Academic selections for their work in the classroom by reaching the 3.0 mark. Additionally, 89 percent of the A-Sun's 18 championship teams had at least half of the student-athletes on their rosters earn All-Academic recognition.
Stetson was one of four league institutions to have had more than 70 percent of its student-athletes recognized for having a grade-point average of at least 3.0. Stetson had 139 of its 197 student-athletes who competed in the Atlantic Sun recognized.
"I applaud all who continue to successfully achieve as student-athletes," A-Sun Commissioner Ted Gumbart said. "To see nearly two-thirds of our student-athletes earn this level of academic distinction means that they certainly are committed to the A-Sun's mission of 'Building Winners for Life.'
"It is important to recognize that this is a team effort, due to the commitment of the athletic administration, coaches and staff of our member institutions, who daily serve as the catalysts for such impressive development of our young people. Congratulations and thank you again to the institutions and to each student-athlete for providing such an outstanding representation of the Atlantic Sun Conference."

Hey everyone Gundamben here with some helpful tips on customization. This is only the first part of many stages you choose to do with your customs. When you are doing this, take a slight bit of caution because over boiling joes can result in... well how can i put this... melting!
But here are some step by step pictures you can follow and hopefully this can help you all
first this is all the tools you'll need:
your average stove/microwave
a small pot to boil water in
a pair of tongs or pliers
and your hands
first make sure the temp. of the water is not over-boiling because too hot is not good. where you want your setting is to be about right between high and med. no need to get the exact temp but around that range is safe.
then after the water is ready let him take a dive, or unless you need specific parts to only come off then do so accordingly by holding with the tongs and the limb submerged under the water. (do be careful the steam can burn you so for extra precaution use an oven mit) You only want to do this step for about 5-10 seconds or even up to 15 seconds sometimes depending on if the plastic is soft enough. This step can also be achieved with a coffee mug filled with water and put on high for about a minuet that should be a good enough temperature to soften the limbs. (with the coffee mug it may take several times to heat the water up because it does cool fast) You can choose either method but I prefer the stove because I try to do quantity but if your only needing a pair of limbs then i would suggest the coffee mug its good if your doing limited work.
Now in this step you don't have much time because the elasticity of the limbs wont last long and you need to pull them apart fast, but not so fast you rip the limb off. You can usually just do this step with your hands, I would not advise using pliers for this because the pliers do leave marks. Also a good tip if you want to seal the limbs or make them harden again just run cool water over them and they will stiffen back up.
Now that you have your selected limbs apart you can now combine them to different assorted figures, take your choose anything almost works with all the other joe parts in the 25th line. And Now you Know, And knowing is Half the Battle!

So that I can talk & smell like a ploppy while I play one on TV. Are there any notoriously bad books or authors out there?

The managerial and administrative needs of high-net-worth families can be extensive, ranging from tax and estate planning to managing trusts and foundations. A family office can help meet those needs.
Some families may desire only basic administrative help, whereas others may want the family office to oversee asset management or perhaps even run their daily affairs. Each family office, therefore, tailors the breadth and depth of its services to a given family's requirements.

#3. Don't Pretend to Be Edgy
For more insight, I looked up north to our Canadian friends, but was informed that the very funny Will Weldon is now an LA-based comic. (It's so hard to tell. They look just like us.) I've never met Will in real life or spoken to him outside of Twitter DMs, but he was kind enough to give me his insight via 140-character messages. Here is a completely invented transcript of our exchange:
NA/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
Listen. Can you hear it? It's Canada still mourning his loss.
Will: Hey Gladstone, huge fan of your Twitter account and work on Cracked. I eagerly await the formal publication of your novel Notes from the Internet Apocalypse in early 2014 by Thomas Dunne Books.
Gladstone: That's not really relevant, Will, but thank you. Also, isn't that more than 140 characters? How is that possible?
Will: Anything's possible when you're trolling your haters of self-promotion! Anyway, let me switch to Skype so this is easier. [switches to Skype]
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Behold, the power of the reverse troll.
Will (continued): Anyway. I once got a job making fun of videos on Canada's version of MTV, and I wanted to establish how edgy I was. I kept calling Scott Stapp a cunt during a Creed video. They barely used anything I did and never invited me back.
Will has a good point. Scott Stapp is a cunt. But more importantly, feigned "edginess" is typically a recipe for disaster.
#2. Don't Overindulge
Despite what the worst people in the world (singer-songwriter Aimee Mann, comic Nikki Walter) will tell you, our next expert is not a morbidly obese comedic hack. Indeed, in real life he's actually quite svelte. You might know Kevin Seccia from his appearances on Premium Blend and The Late Late Show or his book Punching Tom Hanks.
Here's something you might not know: Comics spend most of their time in comedy clubs, and comedy clubs have alcohol in them. I wasn't aware, but Kevin assured me this was true. And something that comics like to do when there is alcohol around is drink. I won't bore you with the complete biochemical reaction that takes place, but according to Kevin (and he's the comedy expert here), if you drink enough alcohol, you get drunk -- even if it's your job to get on stage and tell jokes.
Now some of you might already know that, but here's the other thing: If you hang around comedy clubs enough and you are friends with all the promoters and comics, sometimes you might get asked to go on stage at the last minute. Someone is late, someone doesn't show, it doesn't matter. There may come a time when there's a spot to fill, and there you are.
Visage/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Yes, you!
Are you following me so far? OK, now here's the deal: If they need you to perform, but you're already drunk or, let's say, tripping on psychedelic calzones (which slanderous rumors lead me to believe Kevin is totally into), you'll be in no shape to do a good job on stage. So Kevin's advice in a nutshell (which he also finds delicious) is to always be ready to perform, because you don't want to squander good opportunities.
If I could take that advice a bit further and out of Kevin's wheelhouse of eating and drinking, I'd advise that it's a good idea to be prepared with all sorts of material for different occasions and different timed sets, because, y'know, you never know.
#1. Know Who You're Dealing With in the Crowd
Our top spot goes to comic Fred Stoller, who you might know from appearances on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist and Everybody Loves Raymond or his book Maybe We'll Have You Back. Fred's advice is about dealing with hecklers. I'll be completely honest. I took a couple of passes at trying to find a fun way to deliver Fred's advice to you via the ol' Gladstone magic that has led so many of you to send me unsolicited porn and/or name your firstborns after me, but, try as I might, I couldn't really improve on it. I'm just quoting it outright. But before I do, let me point out that fortunately there are fewer and fewer people believing that heckling is part of the comedy experience these days. It's almost as easy to scream stupid shit at a comic on stage as it is to leave half-wit trolling comments online, and people seem to be doing it less. Sober people.

Pies in the face? Squirting lapel flowers? Sure. But there's no place for heckling in comedy.
There are all sorts of ways to deal with a rude audience, but as Fred points out, before doing so, you should probably get a good look at who's heckling you:
"Once, in San Antonio, a crowd wasn't with me and these two women in the front were talking during my whole act, but no one heard them except for me. Usually the ushers tell people who are disrupting a show that if they're not quiet, they'll be kicked out. I told the usher to tell them that. He misinterpreted that as 'Kick them out.' Turned out one of them was on crutches and it looked like I kicked a crippled woman out. The crowd booed me off the stage."
Well, there you have it. Six pieces of advice for not dying on stage. But that's not to say you couldn't apply each and every one of these entries to your real life as a real estate broker or fishmonger. Each of these is universal, especially if you don't understand what words mean. Words like "universal," for example.
If you're in New York City, come see how well Gladstone applies these lessons at his April 12 stand-up set at The Saloon.
Or come see him film a live new episode of HATE BY NUMBERS at the Calgary Expo on April 26. Also, be sure to follow Gladstone on Twitter and stay up-to-date on the latest regarding Notes from the Internet Apocalypse. And then there's his website and Tumblr, too.

10,000 More MBBS Seats Soon to Tackle Shortage of Doctors
By Express News Service - NEW DELHI
Published: 10th January 2014 07:41 AM
Last Updated: 10th January 2014 07:41 AM
In a bid to improve the doctor-patient ratio in the country, the Centre on Thursday approved a proposal for upgrading existing Central Government and state government medical colleges by increasing Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) seats by about 10,000.
The meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh approved the proposal of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to increase of about 10,000 seats at a total cost of Rs 10,000 crore, with a proposed Central assistance share of Rs 7,500 crore and state or union territory share of Rs 2,500 crore.
The funding pattern will be 90:10 by Central and State Governments respectively for Northeastern states and special category states and in the ratio of 70:30 for other states. The total expenditure on one MBBS seat is approximately Rs 1.20 crore.
The proposal is aimed at increasing the number of doctors to help bring down the doctor-patient ratio from the current 1:2,000 to 1:1,000. At present, there are around 50,000 MBBS seats across the country and the Centre is keen to increase them to address the issue of shortage of doctors.
The Centre is aiming to increase number of doctors for helping reduce the disease burden and work in the un-served areas of the country, especially in the rural hinterland.
The Centre, only last week, approved the proposal for establishment of 58 new medical colleges by upgrading of existing district hospitals in deficient states with intake capacity of 100 MBBS seats in each medical college. This will result in an increase of about 5,800 seats.
The establishment of 58 new medical colleges by upgradation of existing district hospitals in deficient states will help increase the intake capacity of 100 MBBS seats in each medical college. Currently, there are 381 medical colleges in the country with 49,918 MBBS seats .

Hundreds of people gobbled up traditional Polish pastries Sunday while watching the Polish Heritage Dancers perform in a pre-Fat Tuesday gathering that has become a popular reminder of Buffalo's strong Polish culture.
Of course, the main attraction at the fundraiser for the Polish Heritage Dancers was paczki, the deep-fried, doughnut-like spheres usually filled with jams and jellies.
There was also plenty of chrusciki, the light fried cookies topped with powdered sugar, and a host of savory traditional foods set out at the Hearthstone Manor in Depew. But the day was really about paczki – it's called Paczki Day – which are eaten in a spirit of celebration before the more somber Lenten fast begins.
"It's the last hurrah before Lent," said Robert Giczkowski, youth coordinator for the Polish National Catholic Church in Lancaster.
The 30 members of the Polish Heritage Dancers, who are based at the Holy Mother of the Rosary Cathedral in Lancaster, keep alive in Western New York the traditional dance, costumes and music associated with Poland.
That means polka, lots of it.
The group of children, young adults and older adults offered a number of dances set to the bouncy, upbeat sound that defines polka.
Michelle Kisluk, director of the dance group, recalls how 16 years ago the fundraiser started with a small gathering in a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Buffalo.
"We've tried to create a family atmosphere. I just wish more young people would get in touch with their Polish culture," Kisluk said.
If attendance is any indication, her wish may be coming true. The event Sunday was mobbed by early afternoon, and she expected as many as 800 people to attend between 1 and 7 p.m., many of them friends and relatives of the dancers.
In addition to traditional food, dance and music, there were other signs of Polish heritage.
In the lobby, CDs of Polish music were for sale, as were CDs of koledy, or carols, and music for an oczepiny, the name of the Polish capping ceremony in a wedding. There were copies of the Polish American Journal and tables full of Polish Heritage Dancers sweatshirts.
Later in the day, there were plans to crown a paczki king, queen, prince and princess, Kisluk said.
Giczkowski was manning the table where paczki were lined up in neat rows. Sales was pretty good throughout the day, he said.
"This is the sweet you're supposed to give up for Lent," he said.

People Exclusive
Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Tim Allen Reunite on Last Man Standing
Once a family, always a family.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas makes a guest appearance on Tim Allen's ABC sitcom Last Man Standing this Friday. But several of the jokes are about a show that went off the air 14 years ago – Home Improvement, on which Allen and Thomas played father and son.
"Man, you look familiar," Allen says in Friday's episode (to much laughter from the audience) upon meeting Thomas's character, a restaurant owner who has designs on Allen's daughter Kristin.
"Well, you know, I used to work with Kristin," Thomas replies.
"That's not it," Allen deadpans.
After a back-and-forth in which Thomas butters Allen up – explaining how he's a small-business owner and showing off his souped-up car – Thomas takes off, leaving Allen impressed.
"That kid was raised right," he says.
Thomas, now 31, was 10 years old when Home Improvement premiered in 1991. He grew up in front of the cameras and was 16 when he left the show after its penultimate season.
The former teen heartthrob reunited with the whole cast back in 2011, saying then that he might return to acting.
"I think at this point, I'd eventually like to work behind the camera," he said. "That's not to say I would never act again. I'm not quite sure, to be honest. I still have a passion for TV and film [and] could see myself working in it."
This guest role on Last Man Standing is Thomas's first acting work since 2005.

See This, Skip That: From Star Trek to The English Teacher – Your Weekend Movie Plan
Here's what to see, what to skip and what to seek out this weekend at the movies.
See This: Star Trek Into Darkness:
Why bother with calendars? (They're so predictable anyway.) This is how you know summer's arrived – with a blockbuster at the cineplex.
J.J. Abrams's second voyage at Star Trek's helm is very nearly as good as the first, with zippy action sequences, a wonderfully menacing bad guy, and a deepening relationship between Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) ... and Spock and Uhura (Zoë Saldana) … and Kirk and all the single ladies.
Benedict Cumberbatch, perhaps better known as my TV boyfriend Sherlock Holmes, uses his powers for evil as John Harrison, a mysterious Starfleet turncoat who becomes the most hunted terrorist in the galaxy. The man has secrets – secrets you don't want to go searching for on the Internet box, lest you spoil some cool stuff for yourself.
What I will tell you is that while Into Darkness deals with some heavy stuff – namely the humbling of that cocky Kirk – the film stays nimble with in-jokes for Trekkers and more accessible humor for space tourists. Plus, it gives Bones (Karl Urban) and Scotty (Simon Pegg) great moments in the spotlight.
Provided you're willing to overlook a few minor plot holes, Into Darkness sounds like a fine idea this weekend.
Skip That: The English Teacher:
It pains me to say bad things about a movie that stars Julianne Moore, Greg Kinnear and Nathan Lane at his hammy best, but I must.
The movie starts out well enough: English teacher Linda Sinclair (Moore) decides to help a promising former student (Michael Angarano) by staging his play at her high school. Then she does something fairly stupid, for which the film punishes her mercilessly.
I just can't stand it when romantic comedies – for that's what Teacher hopes to be when it grows up – humiliate smart, capable women for the sake of humor. It just isn't funny.
Seek This One Out: Stories We Tell
There are features, and there are documentaries. And then there are weird, fascinating hybrids like this one from director-actress Sarah Polley.
Stories We Tell aims to get at the truth behind a mystery in Polley's intriguingly complex family. But whose truth? Her late mother's? Her father's? Her own?
To tell the story – and trust me, you want to hear it – Polley weaves in re-enacted home movies and first-person interviews with much of her family, and even has her father read from his memoir about what happened. So ... what did happen? I wouldn't dare spoil it for you.

Happy first day of school :-) and Enjoy Ivy's time with you :-)ReplyDelete
These pictures...a million words!ReplyDelete
We're getting better at pushing and unpushing pause around here. It's nice. And a little bit magical, though not as magical as the sea. :-)ReplyDelete
Nah, no need to get to ambitious, the sheets are fine. I love the imagery of opening up to our bookmarks. That's just how it feels.ReplyDelete
Love...that the kids were so excited to start school. And the pictures are still awesome!ReplyDelete

You may really treasure this "extra" year with Ivy. It is usually better to be oldest than youngest in school. She'll have her driver's license first, etc. Scary isn't it. Terry turned 5 in July and I kept him out an extra year which is usually beneficial for boys. I also sent him through the kindergarten screening both years and saw a dramatic improvement in auditory discrimination and auditory sequential memory the second time through the testing. This is a good time to expose her to the activities she wouldn't be getting in school. Montessori is very good, too.ReplyDelete
These photos. Yes.ReplyDelete
There is such a "freeness" to your voice here these days and I love that for you.ReplyDelete
Man, it's gorgeous there!!
Whenever I see your beach photos I want to drop it all and jump into the car. We're so close (only 1.5 hours from Florence)and I'm surprised we don't do it more often. One of these days... Thanks for the inspiration.ReplyDelete
Just peeking in to say hello, and that I smile a lot when I read your blog. Just so you know.ReplyDelete
i love your pictures, and your writing!ReplyDelete
i'm so happy you found your "home" even though i miss you :) josh brought up ivy the other day!!ReplyDelete

The county auditor's office plans an aerial mapping program, mainly to boost tax revenues. Is this a good idea?
I like discussion. I've changed my opinion after hearing other points of view. So I can't figure out why the anti-Republican contingent here just keeps shooting out nonsensical one-liner comments like "keep voting Republican...Idiots". Do they really think that accomplishes anything productive? (I guess if they're having a bad day it's better than going home and kicking their dog, but trash talk is still on about that same level of immature behavior.)

No it isn't. They are going to spend 100,000 on a aerial program, then another 100,200,000. for appraisers to come around. Where is all the casino money, gas money? I think taxes should be coming down for the tax payers, maybe some refunds for people. Granted there are some people making money, but not everybody is cashing in!

Our taxes are high enough already. How much is this aerial mapping to cost? OH yeah, that's right, we'll pay for it with higher taxes!

Seventeen-hundred students, four schools, three days.
That's what 15 San Diego State University students tackled this week during their spring break service trip to teach South Shore students about energy and the environment.
Aaron Hussmann, SDSU campus organizer for California Public Interest Research Group — CALPIRG — Energy Service Corps, grew up in South Lake Tahoe. When he heard about the alternative energy corps service trips, he immediately thought of his old stomping grounds.
"I thought, 'Wow, that sounds like the perfect opportunity to bring these services back home. When I was growing up here, I don't think I appreciated the environment as much," Hussmann said, a South Tahoe High School alumnus. "I wanted to come back, spread the word and help people save money."
The SDSU students taught interactive lessons that demonstrated the importance of renewable resources and ways to cut down on energy consumption. The group also installed weather stripping and replaced inefficient lightbulbs for a handful of local homes and businesses.
Ashley Henry, a student AmeriCorps member with CALPIRG Energy Service Corps, instructed 65 Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet School students about the importance of saving energy Monday. She showed images of four different energy sources — coal, wind, solar and oil — and questioned the children about each one.
"Oil is bad. It makes fire. That's why we have to have a fireman. It's not good for the environment," one of the kindergartners said.
The campus-based student organization CALPIRG Energy Service Corps is a partnership between CALPIRG and AmeriCorps, according to a press release.
The program is a good fit for Lake Tahoe Unified School District, Science Outreach Coordinator Beth Quandt said. Fifth-graders at the Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet school will survey the campus next month to find ways to make it more energy-efficient.
"This is a perfect tie-in to get them started," Quandt said. "We've been teaching environmental science education here for years and what we've found is that when you present to kids, they take it home to their parents. So it spreads."

Fannie Mae announced today [3] that it would allow thousands of tenants remain in foreclosed homes as long as they stayed current on their rent. About 4,000 renters signed new leases and were permitted to stay in their rentals even though the property's owners had been foreclosed on. While it turns Fannie Mae into a landlord, something it's probably ill-equipped to handle efficiently, it's probably the first action they've done in a long time that has made people smile.
The reason they're doing it is because it makes financial sense (and they were forced to do this by the $700 billion Emergency Economic Stabilization Act). In a hot housing market, a foreclosed home can be sold fairly quickly. In the current housing market, foreclosures can sit for months, slowly (or quickly) eroding in value. By letting renters stay in those homes, instead of evicting them, Fannie Mae can leave those properties on auto-pilot and worry about the rest. Also, as someone who has considered buying rental properties, an occupied property is more valuable than a vacant one. It's unorthodox but we live in challenging times.
I'm also glad renters aren't getting screwed because their landlords were financially irresponsible. The renter shouldn't be punished because the landlord made a mistake. I once knew a guy at one of my former employers who owned four homes during the housing boom. He would buy them with a low rate ARM, wait a few months, then use whatever equity he had built up to buy another. I used to hear me argue all the time on the phone with tenants about broken water heaters and I had no doubt he was a miserable landlord. Well, I heard now that all those properties are behind and now those tenants would probably be evicted.
One of the benefits of owning your home is control. When you own a home, you are in control. It may not seem like it sometimes but you truly do control your destiny, more so than if you are a renter. Unless you agreed to an ARM, your mortgage payment remains the same each year (it may go up because of taxes, but the principal and interest are the same). You won't one day discover you have to move because your landlord was foreclosed.
That being said, I'm glad 4,000 families won't have to be searching for a home in the winter. What do you all think of this?

A B line refers to the direction in which a bee flys after gathering nectar. Bees use the sun to navigate their way around and when they are ready to return to the hive they fly in a straight line back. This is why when someone is trying to get to their destination quickly they are said to be "making a B line".
