In normal cases Dibs is a stupid game that children play with things that they can't actually have, but among the people of The Mals Nation it's an entirely different story. Dibs is a legally binding statement. Once the announcement has been made that one has "Dibs" on anything (living or not) it cannot be disputed.

This could be the year of the coat.
The choices in outerwear are endless, from pricey, plush furs to fun, faux shearling.
"It's the widest variety I've seen in years," said Terry Rutar at Dillard's. Her coat department is bursting with all styles, colors and textures.
Leather continues to be popular, she said, both in casual jackets to pair with jeans or dressy long coats trimmed with mink.
What's new, retailers said, is the plethora of colors.
"A lot of women already have a black jacket or coat, so they're reaching for new colors," said Adrea Pearson at Raffkind's. Like turquoise, chocolate or green. Even pink.
For those who don't want to shell out big bucks for real leathers or fur, several faux fabrics are available.
"The great thing is that they look so real," said Jan Brosier at Top Notch Outfitters. "Some even are machine washable."
Rutar said Dillard's has grouped outerwear into four distinct looks.
n From history includes Victorian-inspired coats in such plush fabrics as velvets, tapestry and brocade. This category includes a military twist with the always popular trench coat.
n From the north embraces the warm outerwear of Alaska and Scandinavia with real shearling, suede and quilted fabrics. And, of course, real fur.
n From the hills offers a Bohemian twist with handcrafted embroidery, appliques, toggle closures, fringe and more.
n From the streets is a city-inspired look, with distressed and embossed leathers, corduroy, cotton blends and faux crocodile and ostrich.

It's time the civilized world takes action now or face a world war we cannot afford.
Dan Leonard
Since Israel reserves the right to deal a surprise air attack against Iran, which will result in a major counterattack along with instability around the world, perhaps it would be wise for allied nations to again team up to provide the most massive air assault in aviation history by simultaneously attacking Iranian targets everywhere within Iran at the same time, and with no let-up until Iran's unconditional surrender.
It's time the civilized world takes action now or face a world war we cannot afford.
Dan Leonard
Very thoughtful letter…
….just kidding. :)
And who's going to pay for this massive assault??? I guess we can just let a few more of our kids go to bed hungry at night - just so we can blow someone else's kids in Iran to smithereens, right?
We need to leave Iran ALONE.
Iran's oil will pay for the Right's elective war and Iranians will greet us as liberators…
…just kidding. :)
Mr. Leonard is correct. We can again stand by and do nothing until pushed up against a wall with no other alternative.
who"s going to pay when irans terriorist plant a bomb in NYC or TELAVI.
If the U.N. allows Pakistan to have an atomic bomb, then it should let Iran get an atomic bomb. Fair is fair.
Why start a war we can't afford? Our nation is broke, remember? We're no more sure that Iran has nukes than we were that Iraq had them.
We need to bring home our troops and use them to protect our borders. We also need to develop our oil and gas resources so that our economy isn't dependent on the whims of tyrants in Venezuela or the Mideast.
the leaders of IRAN are certifiable nuts..they believe in the coming of the the new iman through an apocolyptic war....they are already at war with us and killing our soldiers throughout the middle east...they are lobbing rockets into israel thru their syrrogates.. the muslim religion teaches it followers to lie cheat whatever to further the cause of islam...how can you believe them when they say their nuclear program is for energy and they are sitting on all that oil..iran is dangerous and aggressive ..we can deal with it now...or later when the stakes are higher..we do need to bring our troops home from afganastain and iraq ..only because we are not fighting a war to win...its simply stupid to put our armed forces in harms way and NOT let them use the tools in the tool box to WIN...bring them home now...
Good to get this idea out there to see just how loony some can get. The good ole, means justify the end philosophy, not well thought out but sure FEELS good. Gotta love the way a lot of conservatives push for the 'feel good' thing in lieu of a rational discussion, using intellectuals in the know. Had there been a rational discussion in '03 about the consequences of a War in Iraq, America would have taken a more reasoned and less violent course.
I've been gone for while, so it's good to come back and read this letter. Breath of fresh air. Bombing Iran for what? Not sure who Dan Leonard is, but I wonder if he is willing to put his children's lives on the line for this massive attack against Iran- like really on the line. I wonder if he is willing to sacrifice his children if it meant annihilating another nation. If not, then he doesn't really believe Iran is that great of a threat and you should not be calling for other people's children to be on the front lines risking their lives for a cause you can't really get behind.
That's a good post, TParty. It reminds me of discussions that went on during the U.S. attacks in Kosovo. President Bill Clinton was determined to have his war, but he insisted on a war with zero U.S. casualties. Therefore we had nothing but bombing.
A commentator named Jeffrey Rubin made the remark that if a cause is not worth dying for, it is not worth killing for either.
I do have 3 sons in the military so I have the right to say this. If we stand back and do nothing you will see a nuke detonated in this country. You cannot reason with fanatics. Listen to what their leaders say. They want Israel destroyed. They want our way of life destroyed. They have no problem sacrificing theirs to kill you and yours. War is never pretty but if you give the military a clear objective and keep politics and the media out of it our boys will do their job!
This one's for you bjphysics.
Where's the weapons?
...just kidding
@ TParty
I don't think any father is going to answer that they would "sacrifice" their child for a war.
I feel strongly enough to go over and sacrifice myself for the Syrian kids getting fragged and murdered, but i'd categorically oppose sending my kid over there.
Amen, amen. WHEN not if (but not under our current foreign borne muslim lead regime--wait for President Santorum or Palin later this year) we liberate Iran watch the gas price fall to $1.25.
As an added bonus there are thousand of arab speaking missionaries ready to deploy to bring the Gospel to the precious people of Iran held in bondage so long.
And finally we get payback for taking our hostages under Jimmy Carter and for the evil of 9/11. Bombing and liberating can't come soon enough.

Technology Trends | Research
Students interested in a fruitful career as developers have ripe opportunities right now in the fields of data analytics, mobile, cloud, and social business. But within each of those technologies, there are specific needs that vary by geographical region and other factors. For example, business analytics has a much higher level of interest in the BRIC countries--Brazil, Russia, India, and China--than it does in the United States, perhaps because the latter has already reached a level of saturation or is ahead of the others.
On the mobile front, while the United States and Russia are busy building mobile infrastructure and ranked the extension of mobile capabilities high on the list for focus, India and China are occupying themselves building applications to take advantage of the infrastructure and ranked the creation of "industry specific applications" most important.
Those are a few of the findings from an IBM-sponsored survey, "2011 IBM Tech Trends Report," which questioned 4,000 IT professionals in 93 countries and 25 industries. The report is designed to provide IT and business professionals a roadmap of the technologies and skills that will be in greatest demand in the next two years. Among the key findings:
The business segments where the need is greatest for development talent and skills in the four areas IBM explored in its survey are education and healthcare, following by financial services, life sciences, and government. The appetite in education, according to the report, could be driven in particular by use of the technology used in IBM Watson. Watson is the artificial intelligence computer system that answered natural language questions earlier this year on Jeopardy.
"By tapping into Watson's technology, I believe teachers will be able to deliver a targeted approach to teaching their students," stated Zhihua Wei, a lecturer for the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tongji University in Shanghai, China. "They will have the ability to cultivate skills and customize their teaching programs to address each student's strengths and weaknesses."
"The results are clear. Mobile computing, cloud computing, social business, and business analytics have gone beyond niche status and are now part of any modern organization's core IT focus," said IBM's Jim Corgel, general manager of ISV and Developer Relations. "IT professionals who can develop the skills needed to work across these technologies will be ready to meet growing business demand in the coming years."
IBM is making the raw data results from its survey available for independent analysis in an SPSS file format. Analysis requires the use of SPSS Statistics, which IBM also makes available as a 14-day trial download.

Print book
Thermoforming of Single and Multilayer Laminates explains the fundamentals of lamination and plastics thermoforming technologies along with current and new developments. It focuses on properties and thermoforming mechanics of plastic films and in particular single and multilayered laminates, including barrier films.
For environmental and economic reasons, laminates are becoming increasingly important as a replacement for solid sheets and paint finishes in many industries, including transportation, packaging, and construction. Yet the processes of film formability during the extensive deformation and elevated temperatures experienced in conventional processing technologies, such as thermoforming, are poorly understood by most engineers.
This book covers production processes, such as extrusion, calendaring, and casting, as well as mechanical and impact testing methods. It also describes how testing protocols developed for metals can be leveraged for plastic films and laminates, and includes a thorough discussion on methods for performing optical strain analysis.
Applications in transportation vehicles and packaging, including packaging for food, medical and electronics applications, sports equipment, and household appliances, are discussed. Safety, recycling and environmental aspects of thermoforming and its products complete the book.

All member reviews for Monk

Review this title!
What other families should know
Great role models
This is a great tv show that is now only a mystery, but also a comedy! I love this show.
What other families should know
This is the best murder/crime/detective show on! I mean, it's too bad that its in for its last season...o well... This show is ha-larious and really interesting. I've been wathing it since the third grade and have never missed and episode. All of this show is clean and fine for young kids. I really can find nothing wrong with it.
What other families should know
Too much swearing
Great role models
Great for smart kids, fun for the whole family
This is my favorite show EVER! Not too violent. Violent scenes usually don't contain blood, it is the crime scenes that have it. Language is rare and mild, sometimes there are drug references only because it is a crime fiction program. The character Monk is a good role model most of the time, and each episode shows that even though he struggles from his phobias, he always stays determined and observant. Sometimes he puts aside politeness for personal reasons.(Could you please just align those flowers like...no, a little to the...wait, wait! Groups of ten!) I always enjoy trying to solve the mystery before my dad and 11-year-old sister. Monk is great family show: funny characters, tons of humor, stimulating mysteries, and virtuous morals. Not all kids will understand the jokes, but if you child is very intelligent and creative, Monk is the perfect family show that will always leave you craving more.
What other families should know
This show is great! it has some violence that could be a little creppy for kids that are under ten, but even then parents could fastforward past the murder sences and just watch how they solve the case with there kids. There is also a little language, but nothing that bad.
too awesome for words
this is one of the best shows EVER made! The witty and pathetic character of Monk teaches kids sympathy if you want educational value, but some of the content is pretty deep, especially when Adrian thinks about his wife, or the episode Mr. Monk and the kid. The violence isn't that bad, the most violent epsode is when a woman gets dismembered, but all you saw was blood splash on windows and a super-quick view of the body. (almost no gore) just watch one episode and see for yourselves.
How is this 14+?
I could not find anything bad about this show besides the violence. It's a funny TV show! It's rated TV-PG!!! If it was for 14 year olds why is it not rated TV-14?
Heres the thing, (Monk quote) This show is a crime show, such as CSI and Law and Order, yet it focuses on a single detective who suffers from OCD. Since Monk deals with murders, there will be (limited) blood, dead bodies, etc. There are also a few affair episodes (such as someone killing their spouse so they can marry someone else) There is also (VERY LIMITED) sexual content/references. The language is the most iffy part of the show. Bad language is used throughout the show such as, b---h and b-----d, but also use words such as h-ll and d--m. There are also many alchohol references throughout the show. Keep in mind that the writers are also making fun of a mental illness which might be questionable for some parents. If you can get past all that, Its a wonderful and fantastic show!
I watched this when I was 9
There is violence but it is mainly just humor.
Action, suspense, and comedy. I think this show is great for parents and kids. In every episode Monk acts the same way, he's scared of shaking someones hand and is also germaphobic. The show also has murder mysteries and very suspensful conclusions. My family and I love the way Monk moves his hands to find clues on the scene. The show has some swears but they're very mild and no sexual content whatsoever! My family and I get many laughs and I think this show is great for everyone 9+ !!
A clever detective drama
Great show has minor flaws. Swearing is used in each episode. Although most are mild, younger families may not want everyone watching. A few episodes imply or show affairs. The violence is pretty mild, although very sensitive kids may be disturbed.
Love it!
I love this show. We have been watching it since I was in second grade.
I love this show!!!!
I think monk is such an interesting show the violence is mild and the language is not bad at all it is a great show for kids 11 and up
so cooool
this show makes you think. at the beginning it may be slightly violent. of coarse you are watching a murder mystery show. but that stuff happens. monk is so funny. i started watching this when i was ten and i still luv it. each episode is another adventure. watch it!!!
Great Show
This show rocks! Aside from a little violence, it's a great family show. 11+
funnist show on television!!!!!
Great Show
This show really displays the best things inside of people. Monk has OCD but he overcomes his diability and mental anguish to solve cases because he knows his wife (who was mudered) would want him to. The people around Monk are also very kind. They treat Monk with respect and they don't presure him or treat him unkind even though he can be annoying because of his disorder. The show does contain some violence but the great Social behavior makes up for it. This is a Great show. 10/10
I love this show!
This is SUCH a great show. Monk is so lovable in a Monk-ish kind of way. For example: he gives a talk about being a detective at a local school. He asks how many kids in the class would like to be detectives. Some kids raise their hands, and four kids in a row of five raise their hand. The kid at the end of the row doesn't, and Monk badgers the kid until he raises his hand, making it a perfect row. Also, the person before him handed out laser pens, and the kids all aim the pens at Monk, which drives him crazy. It was so funny to see him scrambling around because of the lasers. He also has an assistant named Natalie who is always around with disinfectant wipes for Monk. She is there to make sure that the OCD doesn't completely ruin his life. It shows the nature of people is generally good, and to accept people with disorders. Great show all around. ^_^
The title says it all

Cardinals Winter Warm Up Progressive Blog – Day 1
The Cardinals Care Winter Warm Up is underway in downtown St. Louis this weekend. Here are the highlights from Day 1 with the Cardinals themselves.
Have The Cardinals Finally Taken Every Injury They Can Afford To?
While success has been the constant for the 2015 St. Louis Cardinals, so has been the ever-present element of doing it in spite of a crucial injury. It begs the question: have the Cardinals still managed to be lucky in loss?
2015 Cardinals Care Winter Warm Up Progressive Blog – Day 2
Day 2 of the Cardinals Care Winter Warm Up, the unofficial kick-off event to Cardinal baseball season, will get underway shortly at the Hyatt Regency in downtown St. Louis. The fan fest is the largest fundraiser of the year for the team's community outreach program, which has contributed $11 million in grants to over 800 non-profit youth organizations in the area. On the baseball side, it is also the return of the players and...
Keeping Perspective With Mark Reynolds Deal
The Cardinals pulled their first fish out of this year's free agent waters on Thursday, by inking first baseman Mark Reynolds. Reynolds adds more right-handed power to a bench that struggled to find a consistent source of productive depth over the last few years behind its front eight.

Pros: Ran wow great (max settings) for the year or so I had it. Obviously that isn't saying much.
Cons: When I stopped playing WOW and picked up RIFT this didn't cut it. Max settings I was at 25 FPS and would dip to about 15 in World events/big cities.
Other Thoughts: I upgraded to a 460 GDDR5 1GB and it runs RIFT better but not the increase I hoped for. I will probably upgrade again soon.READ FULL REVIEW

RotoWire's fantasy baseball rankings for the 2016 MLB season.
Our season-long projections are no longer updated for the current season as of September 14th – please note that the rankings on this page will be updated for the 2017 season in December.
For any rankings-related questions during the final month of the season, please utilize our Ask an Expert feature! You can also view 2016 earned values here.
2016 Preseason Proj: 158 G 580 AB .317 AVG 40 HR 101 RBI 18 SB 108 R
How does one write anything new about the best player in the game today? He has scored 100 or more runs in every full season in which he has played and has driven in at least 90 runs in the last three seasons despite the challenges in front of him and behind him in the lineup. He does strike out above the league average rate, but fell a duck snort or two shy of hitting over .300 for the third time in four seasons. There is the issue of his stolen base total declining each of the past four seasons, but that has been offset by the growth in power production. Seriously, there is nothing we could put into this block that could or even should stop you from using the first overall pick on him or dropping $40-plus on him in an auction format. You�re going to get what you pay for and that�s his true value.
2016 Preseason Proj: 158 G 559 AB .313 AVG 35 HR 115 RBI 17 SB 105 R
Simply put, Goldschmidt is the best first baseman in fantasy baseball. Few players combine batting average, power and speed the way Goldy does. In 2015, his batting average was good for third in the National League, his 33 home runs placed fifth in the circuit, the 118 RBI were second in the NL and he chipped in 21 stolen bases (14th in the NL). All of this came as Goldy played in 159 games, a year after he played in just 109 games due to a hand injury. At just 28 years old, Goldschmidt is in the early stages of his peak years, so his production should remain at this level for a while. Owners may find it hard to pass on the likes of Mike Trout and Bryce Harper with a top-two pick, but Goldschmidt deserves consideration there, and he will come off the board in the first five picks in almost all mixed league drafts.
2016 Preseason Proj: 155 G 538 AB .322 AVG 38 HR 97 RBI 7 SB 112 R
After a couple of injury-plagued seasons, Harper's status as the Next Big Thing was in serious jeopardy, but he stayed healthy in 2015 and proceeded to post numbers far beyond anyone's expectations. When names like Babe Ruth and Ted Williams come up as comps for what Harper accomplished as a 22-year-old MVP last year, it's fair to say he had a pretty good campaign. His biggest improvement came not when he swung the bat, but when he didn't. Harper racked up 124 walks in 153 games after recording 155 free passes in 357 games during his first three seasons, with opposing pitchers often deciding their best course of action was simply to avoid giving him anything to hit at all. As he continues his development, Harper could start putting up walk totals that haven't been seen since Barry Bonds. Harper gave him a three-season head start, but he's now right back in the conversation with Mike Trout as the best young outfielder in the major leagues.
2016 Preseason Proj: 158 G 611 AB .286 AVG 38 HR 115 RBI 4 SB 111 R
Donaldson earned his first American League MVP award behind a brilliant season in Toronto, in which he set career highs in home runs (41), runs scored (122), RBI (123), and OPS (.939). The move from Oakland's cavernous coliseum to the homer-happy Rogers Centre led to by far the best power production of Donaldson's career. Donaldson was a fine .263/.343/.487 hitter on the road, but he hit a blistering .330/.398/.647 in Canada, where he clubbed 24 of his 41 homers. Donaldson has been a great hitter for a few years now � since 2005, only three players have multiple seasons of 20 home runs for Oakland: Jack Cust, Brandon Moss, and Donaldson. In other words, even though Donaldson had a career year, it wasn't that far above what we already knew he could do. He will be the engine in the Blue Jays' lineup again next year, and there is no reason he can't repeat this effort.
2016 Preseason Proj: 155 G 601 AB .290 AVG 38 HR 119 RBI 1 SB 101 R
Arenado broke out in 2015 and rode his sweet swing to a National League-leading 42 home runs and 130 RBI and his first All-Star appearance. And although Arenado was a far superior overall hitter at Coors Field (.960 OPS compared to .835 on the road), he actually hit 22 of his 42 home runs on the road. Additionally, he is an impatient hitter, and his aggressiveness was particularly exploited on the road (.296 OBP). However, his combination of good contact skills, big-time power and 81 games per year at Coors Field make him a surefire first-round pick in drafts this year. Arenado has also steadily increased his flyball rate every year in the majors � a key factor in his power explosion. Only four third basemen hit 30 home runs in 2015 and only three managed 100 RBI, so even if Arenado cannot match last year's breakout performance, he will finish high on the leaderboards.
2016 Preseason Proj: 155 G 588 AB .286 AVG 30 HR 95 RBI 20 SB 79 R
Correa, who entered 2015 fully healthy after suffering a fractured fibula the year prior, showed he had nothing left to prove in the minors, hitting .335/.407/.600 with 10 home runs, 44 RBI, and 18 stolen bases in 53 games between Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Fresno. He made his big league debut in June as a 20-year-old and never looked back, replacing the injured Jed Lowrie as the Astros' starting shortstop. Correa surpassed his already lofty expectations by hitting .279/.345/.512 with 22 home runs, 68 RBI, and 14 steals in 99 games for Houston. The former No. 1 pick also broke several playoff records for his historic performance (4-for-4, two home runs, 11 total bases) in Game 4 of the ALDS. Fresh off a tremendous debut season, Correa is likely to be the first shortstop taken off the board in 2016 drafts and is justifiable as a first-round pick.
2016 Preseason Proj: 158 G 611 AB .291 AVG 15 HR 79 RBI 12 SB 85 R
Ever since Bogaerts made his debut in 2013, the baseball world has been waiting for a breakout star to emerge. It didn�t happen in 2014 � he struggled for much of the season, and was moved between shortstop and third base as questions about his defense arose. But a strong finish in September suggested his full potential could be realized in 2015. As it turned out, Bogaerts only tapped into his potential last season, hitting .320/.355/.421 in 156 games while going from a -2.7 UZR in 2014 to 1.0 in 2015 in a full season at shortstop, suggesting he can stick at the position for the foreseeable future. Some of his hitting success was due to an elevated BABIP (.372, sixth in MLB), but even with a little regression cooked in he projects to hit for a high average again this season. The big question is what his power ceiling is, and when he will be ready to reach it. He certainly won�t come cheap for owners who gamble on the power surge coming in 2016.
2016 Preseason Proj: 148 G 586 AB .292 AVG 11 HR 63 RBI 22 SB 77 R
Lindor's glovework helped solidify a shaky left side of the infield upon his callup to the big leagues in early June, but that was never in question. It was his ability to handle himself at the plate as a 21-year old that made him a viable Rookie of the Year candidate and a fantasy surprise in the second half of the season. Lindor had held his own in parts of two seasons at Triple-A Columbus, slashing .284/.350/.402 while sporting a nice BB:K ratio (25:38) in 59 games in 2015, but he took it to the next level once arriving in Cleveland. He posted a remarkable .835 OPS with 22 doubles, four triples and 12 homers in just 99 games for the Tribe and got better as the season wore on. His batting average was aided by a .348 BABIP, and that number might actually be somewhat sustainable given his speed and tendency to hit the ball on the ground (50.8% GB%), but that approach does not bode well for adding more power in 2016.

Monsanto's mobile lab mobilizes learning
Students at Dudley Elementary learned on top of wheels last Thursday when they toured Monsanto's mobile technology unit.
The unit, which showcases changes in plant breeding and biotechnology, was parked at Monsanto's Water Utilization Center south of Gothenburg.Monsanto officials said the 53-foot-long traveling unit, with 1,000 square feet of exhibit space, visits rural communities, agricultural trade shows and other special events across the country.
Ag educator Allan Cina of Monsanto led a tour for fifth graders.
Cina showed students robotics demonstrations, innovations in plant breeding such as insect prevention and better water utilization, how biotechnology is achieved and more.
The ag educator also told students how the walls of the learning lab rotate and how it takes six to seven hours to set up once they reach a new site.
Cina said the idea behind the learning lab is to take the research done by Monsanto to rural areas where people can see what's being done firsthand.

So far we've created three new post types, we've changed the labels of those post types so they display the right names for each of the post types and we've added a lot of functionality to each of the post types, but there are still a few things that we need to do to make this a complete project. First of all when you look at the new post types you notice they appear at the very bottom of this first section of the menu. So you have Posts and they have Media, Links, Pages, Comments, and then you have got the post types. What you want to do is probably move these post types up so they appear underneath Posts rather than underneath Comments.
We can do that with one of the variables that's inside the post type definition. If we go back to posttypes.php and scroll down, you'll see that in the arguments array for each of the register post type functions there is a variable called menu_position. It's right here, and it's always set to null by default. If it's set to null it will always appear on the bottom of the first main part, so under Comments, and then each of the post types will appear as they appear inside the functions.php file or in our case the posttypes.php file.
If we want to change that, we can change this null to an actual number. Now there is a reference scale for this and I'd put it into the code-snippets file so you always know what's going on. What you see here is menu_position and it's set to 5 because I want it to appear directly under Posts, but as you can see from this list you can set it to 0 where it appears at the very top, you can set it to 10 or just below Media, 15 below Links, 20 below Pages, 25 below Comments, etcetera, etcetera, all the way to the bottom.
So depending on what number you give menu position, the items will appear underneath or above each other. So if we go back to posttypes.php and for recipes we set the menu_position value to the number 5 and save the file. When we go into admin you'll see that Recipes, which is currently down here, will move up directly under Posts. So now we have Posts, Recipes and then Media, Links, Pages, Comments, etcetera, and if we do this same for Photos and Videos, we can get them to appear directly underneath too.
For them we can either go and set each of the values just to 5 or if we want them to appear in a certain order, you can for example set recipes to 4, photos to 5, and then videos to 6, or you can set videos to 4 and it would appear over recipes, but I'll set them all to 5 for now, reload the page, and you'll see the structure now makes a lot more sense. We have Posts, Recipes, Photos, and Videos at the very top.
It's a subtle change but it's again one of those changes that makes a huge difference, because it tells the user something about the priority of content. Now Recipes, Photos, and Videos have become first level citizens of the site rather than being afterthoughts that are stacked underneath Comments. By changing the menu position of your custom post types you're taking control not only over what kind of content can be published, but also what is more important on the site. It's a subtle distinction, but one that makes a lot of difference.

Tricks & Treats: Halloween Party Ideas
Country Living. 2. Caramel apple sundaes? Yes, please! Top off your party with a festive treat. Here's a quick hint of my own: sprinkle some gray salt on top — perfection! From Martha Stewart. 3. Another great pumpkin decorating idea from Country Living: carve pumpkins in the shape of a wood-burning fire, and place them inside of an empty fireplace: lovely and clever. Add a few candles for effect, but be careful of long, wispy Halloween costumes! 4. No bones about it! Check out these great bone cookie and glittery blood Halloween party invitations from Design Sponge. I never though bones could look so tasty… 5. For the crafty among us, these embroidered pumpkins could make a party in themselves. Gather some friends and follow instructions at Green Eyed to have a good old fashioned "stitch n' bitch," Halloween style. (Images as linked above)

Home--brew buddipole-style
Portable Antenna system
Home--brew buddipole-style
Portable Antenna system
An alternative design and construction method
for the BUddipole-style configurable portable antenna system
From the first moment I read about the Buddipole antenna system, I knew two things.
Second, as an inveterate home-brewer, I knew that I wanted to make my own. I decided to start with a clean slate in terms of materials and form factors, with a result that although my antenna system is electrically similar to the Buddipole, it is physically quite different. The "tee" is made of a "sandwich" of aluminum and plastic; the "whips" are constructed of segments of 3/8" hollow aluminum tubing. The mast is made of 1" aluminum tubing, and mounts in a pivoting base rather than a tripod. The guy system attaches to the mast using an aluminum ring that slides over the mast. The result is antenna system that performs better in some respects than the Buddipole, can at least theoretically configured to cover both the 80 meter and 160 meter bands, costs less, and is less vulnerable to damage than the commercial product. Downside? It weighs more – about 20 pounds for the total "kit including the mast, base and guys, 50 foot RG-8X coax, etc.
I also re-thought and re-configured the original Triple-Ratio Balun concept that has become part of the Buddipole system, turning it into a Sextuple-Ratio Balun (SIX impedance ratios!) using the same component set as the original. That project is described on a separate page of this web site.
I have spent approximately $150 total in materials to make this system, compared with almost $600 to purchase a comparable commercial kit (the Buddipole Deluxe plus TRSB,16 foot mast, guys, etc. And it has been fun to design, and construct, and use.
However, it would never have been possible without the inspiration of the original Buddipole. I would like to give a big "thank you" to Budd Drummond, who created the Buddipole, and to the company he formed that makes and sells these products. In the true spirit of ham radio, they encourage and support home-brew versions of their antenna system, even though it at last theoretically reduces their sales. My hat is off to them for their service to the amateur radio community. Please visit their web site and consider purchase of their product if home-brewing a complete antenna system isn't something that lights your fire.
A collateral benefit of this construction method is that is practically ensures against membership in the infamous Broken Whip Club. Although I ALWAYS guy this antenna because of the 16-foot mast, did lose control of it a couple of times when first learning to set it up, and it fell without damage to the whips, except once. The one time an element did break, the arm broke at the point where it mounts to the Tee; I simply cut the end off smooth and retapped it, losing 1/2 inch of Arm length – not enough to matter with any antenna configurations. If damage were worse, I could simply replace individual segments rather than the entire whip.
The top of the "red" aluminum section (which connects to the center conductor on the coax cable) is drilled and tapped to insert a 1" long 5/16-18 stud (or sawed off bolt) which serves as the mount for vertical antenna configurations. A hole is drilled in the bottom, into the plastic center section about 1" deep, to accept the mast (in my project, 1" O.D. aluminum tubing).
The "black" side of the sandwich has a vertical stud of 1/4"-20 all-thread installed, onto which is screwed a 1/4-20 coupling nut, which in turn serves as the mounting point for a 2-foot long section of all-thread, ending in a 1" eye bolt, that provides an anchor point for two guys used to support the whip. This significantly reduces whip sag. The supporting guy is attached mid-way on each whip, and then clipped to the eye bolt. See accompanying photo and drawing for details. The guy attaches to the antenna with a small piece of sheet aluminum, drilled with two 5/16" holes and bent in a vice to a 45° angle, which slips over the threaded stud at the outer end of the first antenna section; it is held in place by the next section as it is screwed onto the assembly. The photo at right shows two antenna sections partially screwed together, for clarity.
The primary coils are wound onto forms made from nominal 2" diameter black plastic plumbing pipe, which is 2.375 inches actual O.D. I wound 15.5 turns of #16 magnet wire onto the forms with 0.25 inch turn spacing; this produces coils with a calculated inductance of 8.0 µH; the actual coils, measured with an accurate inductance meter, are 8.02 µH and 7.85 µH, due to small variations in winding precision. 8 µH is sufficient inductance for both horizontal dipole and vertical monopole configurations on 10 through 40 meters. (Coil are not used for 6 and 2 meter configurations.) These are very efficient coils, with a calculated Q factor of 625 at 7.0 mHz. (Coil calculations are from a terrific web site, Hamwaves.)
A separate, even larger coil with about 150 µH inductance would be required for a 160 meter vertical. I have modeled this antenna, but have not built or tested it. The required coil could be constructed by winding 60 turns of #16 magnet wire onto a 4.5" OD plastic pipe at 6 turns per inch, or 10 inches of winding. This calculates to provide 160 µH inductance at 2.0 mHz with a Q factor of about 750. The resulting antenna requires a tunable balun with an impedance setting of 3.125Ω, which is actually achievable, as described on my page discussing my "Sextupal Ratio Balun."
Each coil end is brought inside the pipe through a small hole and then brought back out, to keep the end loop from coming loose. Wire ends are then fitted with ring terminals, which are slipped onto the end bolts The end caps are drilled and tapped for 5/16-18 thread. Cap screws 1" long are screwed through the tapped hole in the pipe end cap, with the head inside. Each screw is tightened and then a 5/16 nut is scrwed down tightly on the bolt, locking the nut in place. The rung terminals for the coil, and the shorting wire at one end, are held in place with a second securely tightened nut, which is further held in place with a drop of glue. About 1/2" of bolt thread protrudes, providing attachment points for the arm (which connects to he Tee) and to the Long Arm, the first segment in the Taps for the various number of turns that are required for different bands are added by folding small pieces of sheet copper around the magnet wire and then soldering them to the wire. (Insulated coating must be removed from the magnet wire at the solder point. Only a few turns must be tapped on each coil to provide taps at the necessary inductance to match each ham radio band. (See following discussion on modeling.) Coil impedance is selected by attaching an alligator clip to the appropriate coil tap, which is connected by stranded wire to one end of the coil, shorting out the unused coil turns.
One might ask if this antenna is less efficient than an electrically equivalent dipole with straight arms. The answer is that one pays a very small price in lost gain for using droopers; the drooper configuration loses less than 0.1 dBi of gain compared with non-drooper Buddipole configurations, virtually unnoticeable on a receiver S-meter. The reason this is true is showon in the diagram at right, which shows current flow in the antenna. There is very little current in the outer portions of a dipole, whether horizontal or vertical. However, one DOES pay a price in antenna bandwidth for loaded antennas. The unloaded 40 meter dipole, cut to resonance at 7.15 mHz and hung 16 feet in the air, has an SWR of about 1.9:1 at both band ends and thus is useful across the whole band. The drooper configuration has a 2:1 SWR bandwidth of 50 kHz, and the non-drooper version with shorter arms and higher impedance has only 25 kHz bandwidth. This means that you need five separate antenna configurations to tune across the band using droopers, and 10 without droopers. Put another way, if you tune the drooper antenna for resonance at 7.275 hHz, it will give you a useful SWR from 7.250 to 7.3 mHz, a substantial portion of the SSB portion of the band. If you're a CW fan, you can tune the antenna to 7.050 and work from 7.025 to 7.075 mHz with a single antenna setup – again, most of the spectrum used for CW.
And let's be clear about one more thing: a 40 meter horizontal dipole16 feet above ground is a real cloud burner. It is a good configuration for NVIS work, but not for DX. To achieve low-angle primary lobes on 40 meters, you need to set up your Buddipole as a vertical monopole (see below). The vertical has less overall gain, but greater gain on the low takeoff angles needed for DX.
(Of course, if you can get a conventional dipole high in the air, for example strung between two tall trees at 28 meters height, its performance will be much superior – more than 7 dBi maximum gain at a takeoff angle of 30° for good DX, and also a strong vertical lobe for NVIS work. In daylight with the F-layer about 250 miles high, an NVIS antenna will reflect back to the ground about 200 miles from your QTH, and the 30° takeoff about 850 miles. NVIS is excellent for shorter-range communication, especially if a mountain range intervenes between you and the other party in your QSO.)
I've learned there are many difficult ways to raise this antenna and one easy way. Atop a 16 foot mast, the antenna acts as though it were much heavier while the mast is partly raised, due to the large moment arm created by weight at the end of a long mast. Here's my sequence of steps to raise it easily.
1.Assemble the antenna to the maximum length you'll be using (full span = 26 feet) and lay it on the ground in a position where it is clear of bushes and trees and from which it can be raised to vertical without hitting bushes or trees. Attach the two mast brace guys to the mast at the appropriate point (see photo) and clip the other ends to the vertical guy support rod atop the Tee, adjusting tension of the guys by sliding the tent hitch knot that forms the loop in each guy.
2.Lay the mast on the ground with one end near the antenna Tee and the other end at the point where the mast will stand when raised vertically.
3.Slide the guy rope ring over the top mast segment, unwind the guy ropes, and position them so that one rope points away from the antenna, and each of the other two ropes are positioned to anchor about 120° from the first guy rope. Antenna anchor points will be 15 to 20 feet away from the antenna base, at roughly 6, 10 and 2 o'clock, with the mast pointing toward 12 o'clock. Without attaching the antenna, raise the mast to vertical, moving the mast base and adjusting the lengths of the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock guys so that when they are taut, the mast is essentially vertical, but leaning very slightly toward the 6 o'clock guy stake, so that the mast, although pointing almost straight up, will hold itself in position with just the two guy ropes.
4.While the mast is standing on its own, adjust the length of the third guy rope so that it will attach to its stake or anchor point with a bit of tension.
5.Now –and only now – lift the mast slightly and slide the pivoting mount under it. Nail the mount to the ground with two to four long nails, depending on soil conditions.
6.Dis-attach the 6 o'clock guy from its stake. Keeping tension on that guy rope with your hand, walk toward the mast base. When you get to the mast, lower the mast to the ground so that the mast top is back where it began, next to the antenna Tee.
7.Slide the antenna tee onto the top of the mast, attach your coax cable to the balun, and run the cable along the mast to the mounting base. Secure the cable to the mast with a rubber tie strap.
8.Double-check all antenna settings, including coil shorting clip locations, settings of the PowerPole connectors on the balun, number of segments on each side of the antenna, and tightness of the coax connector. Double-check that the support guys that hold the antenna horizontally are properly tensioned.
9.Position yourself severeal feet "down" from the top of the mast and lift it with both hands. Gradually walk toward the antenna base, raising the antenna and moving your hands along the mast as you go; you are literally walking the antenna into vertical position.
10.When the antenna is vertical, is should stand without your support, leaning slightly away from the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock guys. Now you can take the 6 o'clock guy and walk it into position and attach it to its stake or mounting point. Make minor adjustments in guy tension as required. The antennas should now stand in winds 50 mph or greater.
To lower the antenna either to change configuration or disassemble it, simply remove the 6 o'clock guy from its stake, walk back to the mast keeping slight tension on the loose guy with your hand, take hold of the mast, and walk it down to horizontal position. Before you lower the antenna, make sure it's rotated so that it will be horizontal (parallel to the ground) when it's lowered. You don't want to lower it onto one tip.
With a little experience, you will find that you can completely assemble and raise this antenna in about 10 minutes, and disassemble it slightly more rapidly. This is no doubt longer than it takes to perform the same functions with the commercial Buddipole, which benefits from telescoping whips.
Especially on the lower bands, a tuner would help to extend the functional range of the antenna without having to lower it and change configuration. A simple L-tuner (one capacitor and one coil) is sufficient. The coil is wired in series from the input to the output jack, and a tunable capacitor in shunt (from one jack to ground). Depending on whether the shunt capacitance is needed on the input or output sides of the tuner, the cables are simply switched leading to the antenna and the transmitter. Details of such a tuner are described on a separate page of this web site.
Having created the physical system to assemble my antennas, the next step was to develop antenna models for the Buddipole at various configurations. As a Mac user, I use cocoaNEC, the Mac adaptation of EZNEC created by Kok Chen, W7AY. I modeled dipole setups for every ham band from 2 meters through 40 meters, as well as verticals for 40 and 80 meters, and found that to configure the antenna for all ham band dipoles through 40 meters, I would need eight Full Sections (each 24 inches long), and two each of Half, Quarter, and Eighth Sections (12, 6 and 3 inches, respectively). Each coil required only three taps. cocoaNEC output files for each antenna configuration are available here. In the real world, the antennas closely match the theoretical configuration, except that I can tune a broader portion of each band with tolerable SWR than the models indicate would be possible.
Please note that the following antenna configurations are provided as examples only. If you make an antenna based on this description, it willl undoubtedly require slightly different configurations due to different coil impedances, different ground conditions, mast height, etc. I have a card with these configurations printed on the two sides, and it lives in the antenna carrying bag.
HF horizontal dipole antenna configurations listed below all use the Arm, Coil, Long Arm, plus indicated additional Segments on each side of the dipole; On the higher frequency bands, some coil loading is used to reduce antenna resistance at resonance, even though a resonant antenna can be built without using the coil; without a coil, inherent impedance at resonance of dipoles exceeds 50Ω. These configurations were modeled using "Average Ground" setting on cocoaNEC. Changing ground characteristics affects settings. For example, on 40 meters, the best balun setting is 22.2Ω over "poor ground" and 12.5Ω over "good ground." Two configurations are provided for the 20 meter band – one using Droopers about 1.0 meters long, and the other without droopers. The former provides broader bandwidth and offers an acceptable SWR acrossthe band; the latter is easier to set up (no droopers) but does not tune the entire bandt under 2:1 SWR. Real-world setups closely matched modeled configurations on all bands.
Vertical configurations. The following configurations all mount a vertical monopole atop the mast. The 6 and 10 meter configurations are intended for FM work, centered on the FM calling frequencies of 29.6 mHz and 50.3 mHz. Both use antenna elements mounted horizontally (as with a dipole) for the counterpoise, and a vertical arrangement using Arm + Coil + the given number of Segments. Best SWR is achieved on 6 meters with a segment length in between the smallest 4" increment available with 1/8 length segments (3 inches). To accomplish this fine tuning, I have cut a pair of segments to 7.5 inches, which together give just the right length. 5/16-18 bolts could also be used to fine-tune the length of any antenna setup.)
Note that although the 80/75 meter configurations have narrow bandwidths, a simple portable L-tuner, described here, can allow a single antenna configuration to tune the entire 75 meter band, and changing a coil tap provides coverage of the entire 3.5-3.75 mHz 80 meter band.

My clone has attempted to pilot the Star Runner into docking position with the fuel barge and has caused major structural damage with the fuel nozzle now embedded within Star Runner. It does not appear that we can free our craft without risking igniting the fuel barge and endangering our ship. The only option appears to be waiting for several years for a salvage mission to arrive from earth.I take full responsibility for the actions of the clone. His increasing desperation at his inevitable mental decline has caused him to act erratically. He wants to be like me and has received encouragement from the younger cadets to try. I should have kept C2 under watch but I too felt he was human enough to be trusted - and he did save my life.Another attempt to nudge the ship away from the barge with the clone piloting the module as a tug has been successful. We are now safely back on track to the Silver Sun. The barge has exploded but C2 appears to have survived and is determined to make it back to earth. His chances are slim but I wish him luck and acknowledge his bravery.
