Maschine you won't look back, Mikro or the full one, So so quick, the MPC is once you've got your sounds, but even Akai are going down the maschine route,with their renaissance, it's why maschine has dropped it's price, it's also got an update coming very soon, for sidechaining and timestretch, I swear there are loads of maschine users that won't say they use as it's a secret weapon and you would be shot by the purists, everyone I know that tries one wants one. I have an MPC 200Xl I love it but maschine is just the go too tool providing my computer doesn't blow up. Also if something happens with your MPC it can be really hard too get it fixed, you need a specialist and then replacement bits etc. Look at it the deep way if it was meant too be you would of walked out the shop with an MPC, Fate is dangling a Maschine infront of your nose for the taking, the only regret I have is I didn't buy one earlier.
yo what up beat makin fam! i have a question for yall. i was in guitar center today and was considering buying a mashine since they knocked down the price to about 4bills from the 7 they used to sell it at. I really want to upgrade and all ive ever made beats on is FL Studio. I dont have any pads, keyboards, nothing just a turntable and the program... so with the mashine i would be getting better filters and effects plus possible plugin downloads along with some pads to get a better feel on my drums and sample triggering. however i saw that they had a used mpc 1000 for $500 and dont know which way to go now. i almost took the mpc but they had just got it so they need to keep it in the store for 30 days by law to make sure it doesnt get reported stolen or sum'n.. i really want to get the mpc because it would get rid of all the screens and mouse clicking which would allow me to focus more on the creative aspects of listening to sounds and sequencing and chopping by just the use of some pads and a rotating wheel. (of course software or not it all boils down to listening to the sample and having a vision in your mind when creating music, but with software it seems like theres a lot of tweeking that has to be done and moving around so the notes come out right and the sound doesnt sound too programed but has that swing)... having used only software though i dont know if i should just upgrade to a mashine and build on what ive accomplished so far and have a better tool to progress as opposed to having to learn something different and go through a learning phase, in addition it seems like software is the future but nothing beats that analog and filter sounds of a mpc...... i dont know if it would take a while to learn how to sequence. is it like the 404 where you have to layer? and how easy is it to layer drums? filter them? compressions? flangers? other such things? whatever input you have i appreciate it

Well how easy is it too get knocking drums and not do any work yourself, there is no mention of novices what so ever, Boys would = sample packs, presets and cranking everything loud, Men would = knowledge of getting more out of nothing, adapting the sample to his own rules and reality, can you make something good with limitations. Men would also be old enough too know Hiphop is not based around synths and used too be about the vinyl and samples, No offence meant but it does look like you read into someones comment with your own feeling and spin on it, thats what I've done as well. Peace.
Why would these "rules" separate the men from the boys? thats funny shitt in itself, and why would supplied drums and a pretty jazz sounding sample deter novice beatmakers from cummin all over the track? if anything this weeks "rules" should encourage and HELP novice beatmakers, who would lack drum sounds! good luck.

Is it okay to post beats in the Stones Throw group even though theire not in the beat battles? To get some tips and feedback!
Sorry but please don't. this group is for beat battle entries only, otherwise we would totally lose the overview. it actually takes quite a lot of time to make it just through all of the the submissions, so please put only beat battle tracks in there. thanks!

Hey so I've had quite a rough few weeks with my health and whatnot so I thought it'd be a good idea to take my mind off icky things and blog more! I have a few ideas in mind but it'd be nice if people could suggest some topics I could blog about. I was thinking just doing some simple entries like talking about strange animals or music that I enjoy but I'm also open to any other suggestions. I'm not particularly keen on talking about my problems as this is not the place for it but I'm happy to talk...

I don't know why but today I'm in the mood to talk about my favourite dinosaurs! Dinosaurs are incredibly cool creatures that I've always been interested in studying so what better than to dedicate a blog entry to them? Today, I'll be talking about the Velociraptor but I will be probably blogging about some of my other favourite dinosaurs from the three time periods in which they existed - the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods in later entries. For now, feel free to enjoy this slightly...

Five years ago, I bought a small orange and white furball from the pet store and called it Toast. Today, I lost the guinea pig I'd loved to old age and I'm throwing exam revision aside to come to terms with her loss.
She was sick over the past few days though she'd gotten better. We wrapped her in one of my old jumpers and my sister thought she's recover just fine.
Only after dinner was I told that she died. They buried her in the backyard and held a small funeral...

Hiya! I'm going to Europe for three weeks starting from the 11th till the 3rd next year so if I disappear off the face of the Earth, that's why. Anyhow, I'd like to ask if people would know some good places to visit where we're going?
We're going to the following cities, each for 3-5 days:
- London
- Paris
- Venice
- Rome
- Milan
- Zürich
We're already going to most of the iconic places (e.g. Eiffel Tower and Big Ben)...

A Final PostAugust 7th, 2013 by Zoë McAlear '16
Yesterday was my final day in the office though I'll stop in tomorrow to say some good-byes and wrap up a few things. Over these next couple of days I'm working on tying up some loose ends, packing, and cleaning my living space. My dad and his wife will join me in Traverse City on Friday and we'll spend the weekend here together so that I can introduce them to the area and show them where I've been all summer.
The last few weeks have been pretty busy with events at MLUI, writing a lot of new articles, and continuing to explore the region. Here are some pictures to give a taste of what I've been up to.
First, MLUI held the Milliken Dinner, with esteemed guests such as U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow, a democrat from Michigan, and former Michigan Governor Milliken in attendance. It was held at Black Star Farms in a restored barn and we were all treated to a locally focused dinner. There were nearly 200 guests and it was interesting to be part of all of the preparation and to realize how much goes in to pulling off a large event. It was quite a successful evening.
I took a trip for work out to Frankfort, a small town along the shores of Lake Michigan, to write about the regional bus system. I used two different area buses to get out to Frankfort and enjoyed a day exploring a new beach and seeing another little Michigan town.
All summer I've been riding out on Old Mission Peninsula, which juts out into Grand Traverse Bay and divides it in half. It's beautiful to ride amongst all of the farms and vineyards, and along the shore. These photos are taken from the highest point of the peninsula where you can see both East Bay and West Bay at once. This is looking out over the western bay.
And finally, a couple more Traverse City beach pictures. I'm trying to enjoy as many evenings as I can along the shore.

November 2011
by Lt. Gen. Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret)
The quote above is attributed to Sir Winston Churchill. A variation, "We've got no money, so we've got to think," is attributed to the New Zealand physicist, Ernest Rutherford. Both of them have precisely nailed the situation in which the United States finds itself today.We see massive deficits in national budget projections. We see a Budget Control Act and a Super Committee in the Congress that make only the faintest stab at closing the gap. We see a national debt piling up an additional $15.3 trillion unfunded liability for entitlements between 2012 and 2021. This is 10 times the Super Committee's debt-reduction target of $1.5 trillion. We see the total deficit during that period of $9.4 trillion, and interest costs in 2021 rising from $168 billion in 2010 to $928 billion in 2021. If projections hold, one can expect a defense budget of $582 billion in 2021. And in 2021, we see discretionary spending at 26 percent of outlays, versus 61 percent for mandatory spending.These numbers are so staggering that one at first views them in disbelief. How can the country continue along this track? And if these numbers are even close to being right, why does the Budget Control Act set such a low and inadequate deficit reduction target of $2.4 trillion? Even this paltry target must be a difficult stretch for the Super Committee, as current reports of progress and dueling quotes from panel members are not encouraging. Meanwhile, folks are nervous. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said that if the "trigger" of the Budget Control Act is activated, it is unacceptable, and will lead to a hollow force. But Panetta also said everything should be on the table. And we know from the language in the Budget Control Act that entitlements — 61 percent on present outlays — are clearly "off the table." The Super Committee must deliver $1.2 trillion in deficit reductions to prevent the sequester from occurring. The difficulty of finding $1.5 trillion seems a trivial exercise when one considers that the United States is set to outlay $40 trillion over the next 10 years. The Simpson-Bowles deficit-reduction proposal delivered a "gift-wrapped" solution to all this last December. Sadly it landed in a "cone of silence," little remarked-upon by either the president or Congress. If the nation had taken it seriously, we might be on the way to a grand solution by now. Unfortunately, we are nowhere, and even if the Super Committee delivers, it will be but the faintest reflection of what might have been.All of that is out of our hands now, so we are only left to "think."Accepting the reality that the defense budget is going to come down, what must we think about? For starters we know that the Budget Control Act brought the baseline down to $526 billion in 2012 and $529 billion in 2013 — respectively $27 billion and $42 billion below the president's request for those years. We also know that when the second tranche comes along, we could see another $50 billion cut from out-year projections — totaling about $86 billion a year in reductions from the president's baseline request for each year out through 2021.If the trigger occurs, the total reduction goes to $104 billion per year. This is clearly unacceptable to the military services. Officials have said that any cuts beyond the first tranche would require smaller forces and structural changes to mission. But that is where we find ourselves, for surely the second tranche will come with a hefty price tag.As the department restructures forces and missions, the need will be to do so in a balanced fashion. One remembers Gen. George C. Marshall's warning to President Franklin D. Roosevelt not to put too much money into one mission area at the expense of others, as the resulting imbalance could prove disastrous. Marshall was right.If we accept the need for a balanced reduction in both scope and pace, the next need is to ensure that critical and leading edge — read world class — technologies are preserved in the base. This is a job for both industry and government, and close collaboration is critical. The Departments of Defense and Commerce are now performing a joint study of the industrial base. Once initial results are in, government needs to reach out to industry to validate and adjust. A worry is that companies, lacking this collaboration, have begun to adjust on their own. The danger is that some critical capability may fall through a crack.Some capabilities needed to maintain our technological dominance are in the design/integration areas — advanced aircraft, submarine, ship, vehicle, sensor, network design and manufacturing processes. There are others, but one wonders if they have been identified. Many of the component suppliers are in lower tiers. If not accounted for, their capabilities will be compromised. We have a complex supply chain, and all the pieces need to be analyzed. And we must not overlook the munitions industrial base. This sector almost collapsed during the post-Cold War build down. Old programmers know that the first place to go for cuts as wars wind down are the munitions accounts.Investment will be heavily stressed. Procurement has traditionally tumbled by 50 to 75 percent in previous drawdowns, while personnel, operations and maintenance accounts have only decreased by 10 to 35 percent. Depending on the rate of decline, investment could take an early and severe hit. By the way, the Defense Department administrative overhead has traditionally grown during past funding decreases.Yes, it is time to think. And there is much to do.Please e-mail your comments to email@example.com.

All of the words
Any of the words
The exact words(phrase)
Fredrik Hjalmar Johansen (1867-1913)
Johansen was Fridtjof Nansen's companion on the trek from the Fram to Franz Josef Land and he also participated on Roald Amundsen's antarctic expedition.
Fredrik Hjalmar Johansen was born in Skien in south Norway and participated on the first and third Fram expeditions. Hjalmar Johansen was Norwegian champion in gymnastics at 20 and was famous for his strength and acrobatics, demonstrating his skills in Paris in 1889. His early career otherwise was uninspired, with jobs as a prison keeper and helping on the family farm, and getting only as far as second lieutenant in the military Reserve when he applied to join Fridtjof Nansen's drift across the Arctic Ocean with the Fram 1893-96. He was so eager to join that he accepted the position of stoker. Most of the voyage he was in fact meteorological assistant for Sigurd Scott-Hansen.
Johansen was chosen by Nansen for the North Pole dash in 1895 and his strength and assistance were crucial in their safe arrival at Franz Josef Land, where the two spent the winter sharing a double sleeping bag for warmth in a miserable makeshift stone shelter. They were celebrated as heroes on their return to Norway.
Johansen had problems settling down to married life and the military in Tromsø afterwards. He participated on some Svalbard expeditions, but gradually developed serious drink problems and his wife took their children back to Skien. Nansen helped where he could, and persuaded Roald Amundsen to take Johansen on his expedition which went to Antarctica with the Fram in 1910. An unfortunate incident, which was Amundsen's fault more than Johansen's, put Johansen into Amundsen's disfavour and took him out of the South Pole group. He travelled home in disgrace at the end of the expedition. Johansen committed suicide in Oslo six months later.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"
Roald Amundsen

Learn the answers to some of the frequently asked questions regarding enterprise zones in Columbus, Georgia.
Question: What is a Brownfield?
Answer: The term brownfield site means real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
Question: What is an Enterprise Zone?
Answer: An Enterprise Zone (EZ) is an area identified for redevelopment where a tax incentive program is offered to stimulate business development and employment growth. The objective is to reduce the cost of doing business by offering a number of tax credits to companies/businesses who are located in or are willing to locate in the targeted area.
Question: What is an Environmental Site Assessment?
Answer: Environmental Site Assessments (Phase I and Phase II) are used to assist in assessing potential environmental contamination associated with real property acquisition and ownership.
Information obtained through environmental site assessments can greatly impact the economics of a property transaction, affecting the owner, buyer, seller and lender.
Question: What properties are being considered for redevelopment?
Answer: Four parcels have been targeted for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments. Pending the outcome of the Phase I assessments, they may be evaluated further for potential redevelopment.
Question: Who will decide which properties are redeveloped?
Answer: After reviewing environmental and land use data and input from citizens and business leaders in the EZ, the City will determine which properties are suitable for redevelopment.
Question: Will the citizens have a chance to make comments about the project?
Answer: Citizens and business leaders will be given an opportunity to comment in several ways: public meetings, through the Brownfields Advisory Committee, comment forms that will be distributed at public meetings, and the website.
Question: Will I have to move from my home?
Answer: At this time, the properties targeted for redevelopment are vacant non-residential properties.
Question: Will I have to relocate my business?
Answer: At this time, we do not anticipate relocating businesses from current locations. However, within the next few years, recommendations for redevelopment of current commercial areas could result in economic and land use changes that would encourage businesses to move.
Question: How will this redevelopment help me?
Answer: This redevelopment is being undertaken to create developments within the EZ that will provide opportunities for small business growth, employment, enhanced property values, and a safe and healthy environment for those who work and live in the area.
Question: Who will pay for this project will my taxes be raised?
Answer: The City has received federal grant money to undertake this study. Once specific areas are selected for redevelopment, the City will work with businesses, developers and financing institutions to build partnerships for redevelopment and to provide public amenities for citizens in the area (possibly parks).

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a characteristic pattern of mental and physical birth defects that results due to maternal use of alcohol during pregnancy. The range and severity of associated abnormalities may vary greatly from case to case. However, characteristic features may include growth delays before and after birth (prenatal and postnatal growth retardation); malformations of the skull and facial (craniofacial) region; brain abnormalities; and/or additional physical findings. FAS may also be associated with varying degrees of mental retardation, learning abnormalities, and/or behavioral problems that, in some cases, may occur in the absence of obvious physical abnormalities.

Student Profile
Alec Jones
I have always had a passion for the design, construction, maintenance and management of man-made structures and so civil engineering was the first choice for me. At ECU, there are so many opportunities to graduate with more than just an engineering degree. There is a strong connection between ECU and the industry, which allows students to network and engage with industry professionals. This allows graduates to create and maintain diverse relationships with the community an engineer will eventually be a member of. The Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) Honours course constantly offers opportunities for students to gain both knowledge and experience throughout their degree. In lectures, you learn applicable information that is vital for your field. This information is then solidified through tutorials, laboratory classes and field work activities. ECU also offers students opportunities to create their own adventure. I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to study in Tianjin/Beijing in China as an elective unit. The knowledge and experience that I gained from this was invaluable and something you can't just get out of a book. The current economic conditions in Western Australia limit the amount of successful engineering applications, however this encourages students to challenge themselves while at university and this ultimately develops better quality engineers. I believe ECU facilitates the training of industry-ready engineers and I believe I will have the foundations necessary to start my engineering career upon graduation.

Weather Status: The U.S.-Austria Defense Industry Day will begin as scheduled at 9:00am today.
Over the last few decades, U.S. and Austrian defense and security industries established strong ties of cooperation based on mutual understanding. A strong commitment to investment and joint R&D has led to the successful implementation of countless projects in the United States.
Under the globalized economic environment and national budget restrictions, the exchange of know-how and technology is the key to meet future challenges.
In this context, the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), the Austrian Defense & Security Industry Group (ADIG), ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA, and the Austrian Defense Cooperation Attaché jointly host the first "U.S.-Austria Defense Industry Day" at the Austrian Embassy in Washington, D.C. Representatives from the Austrian MoD and U.S. DoD, as well as experts and company representatives from both countries, will examine recent trends and provide an overview of industrial capabilities. The industry day will be an ideal platform for industry and government officials to identify and discuss new areas of cooperation.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Tough guy Mankins gets ready for Pats-Colts gameap photo
New England Patriots guards Dan Connolly (63), Logan Mankins (70) and tackle Will Svitek (74) run during a stretching session.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Logan Mankins got tough working with his dad on a cattle ranch in California. Getting kicked by a steer was just part of the job.
And no reason to take a day off.
That upbringing helped prepare him for a profession that brought more serious pain, left guard for the New England Patriots. That couldnt stop him either.
I learned that kind of stuff from my dad and the kind of guys that he worked with, Mankins said Thursday. Theyre all tough guys and they always took pride in never missing days of work and always being there, no matter what the circumstances were.
So Mankins played the entire 2011 season with a torn ACL in his right knee suffered in the opener. Then he tore his left MCL in the divisional round but kept playing in the AFC championship game and the Super Bowl.
This season, he missed just one series after hurting his left ankle on Dec. 29 when he blocked on LeGarrette Blounts 36-yard touchdown run in the Patriots 34-20 win over the Buffalo Bills.
Even coach Bill Belichick was surprised at Mankins speedy return after he was helped off the field by two Patriots personnel.
Ive coached a lot of tough guys, Belichick said. I dont think theres any that I would put ahead of him. Maybe some on that level, but none ahead.
The Indianapolis Colts are about to find out.
Mankins is preparing to block them Saturday night in an AFC divisional-round playoff game.
Theyve got a good front seven, he said. They dont mix it up too much but they do what they do and they do it well. Theyve got one of the most explosive players in the league in (Robert) Mathis (and) he can change the game at any moment if you let him.
Mankins has been chosen for five Pro Bowls in the nine seasons since the Patriots drafted him in the first round from Fresno State in 2005.
Backup offensive lineman Will Svitek was drafted in the sixth round from Stanford that year and is in his first season with the Patriots.
Hes a hard-working, blue-collar, tough guy, Svitek said. Hes just a pure football player, old school. I think he can do whatever you ask him to do. Logan kind of epitomizes what you want in a football player. He epitomizes what toughness is. Hes one of a kind, a true competitor, a great teammate.
Mankins grew up on a 10,000-acre cattle ranch in Catheys Valley, a town with a population of 825 in the 2010 census. He and his father Tim won prizes as a steer-roping team.
Growing up on a ranch, you dont have much of a choice if you want to work or not, he said. There were many days where youre pulled away from school to go work. So we learned that young.
Did he ever get hurt?
Of course, Mankins said.
Worse than football?
No, he said. Kicked, ran over, all kinds of stuff.
On a team known for its mental toughness overcoming injuries and deficits theres no one tougher than the soft-spoken, bushy-bearded, 308-pound Mankins.
To me, mental toughness is just doing your job, he said, putting the team before yourself. When things arent right for you, you still do whats right for the team. I think we have a lot of guys that buy into that.
Mankins started all 89 games in his first five seasons and has missed just 14 games in his career. Seven of those came at the start of the 2010 season when he didnt play during a contract dispute.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series.

Two men pleaded innocent to heroin distributionFebruary 08,2013Two men deny heroin charges
BRATTLEBORO Two men pleaded innocent at criminal court in Brattleboro on Thursday for allegedly distributing heroin in the greater Brattleboro area.
Joshua Hartwell, 25, of Brattleboro and Julio Davila, 32, of Holyoke, Mass. were subjects of a three-month investigation by the Vermont Drug Task Force, according to Matt Birmingham of the Narcotics Investigation Unit said. Hartwell and Davila were arrested on Wednesday during a traffic stop on Interstate 91 in Dummerston.
Hartwell and Davila were each charged with selling, trafficking and possession of heroin. Hartwell is being held on $10,000 bail and Davila $100,000 because of an active arrest warrant for unrelated charges, a criminal court clerk said.
Status conferences for Hartwell and Davila have not been determined.

We don't usually think of our toilets as items requiring regular maintenance aside from cleaning. While toilets generally are not a high maintenance item, it is important to understand how they work and what we can do to keep them working properly and efficiently.
To jump to a toilet term below, click on one of the following links:
Recent research has shown that many common toilet cleaning products can damage the rubber flapper causing significant leakage. Dropping certain toilet bowl cleaners (usually in the form of large white tablets) into your toilet tank may result in damage to the parts within the tank, especially if you do not flush your toilet at least once a day. Some manufacturers may even void the warranty on those parts. If you chose to use these cleaners, the toilet must be flushed at least once per day. As an alternative, use the in-bowl toilet cleaner rather than the in-tank cleaners.
(Back to Top)
Toilet parts
Tank — The tank is the top portion which holds either the freestanding water to be flushed (gravity-fed) or the pressure-assist cylinder (pressure-assist). On a gravity-fed toilet the tank houses the fill valve (frequently called a "ballcock"), the flush valve (usually including an overflow tube with a flapper and flapper seat) and the flush or trip lever. These parts are called "trim."
Tank Lid — It's the top most part of your toilet tank and covers the mechanisms inside your tank.
Bowl — The bowl is the lower half of the toilet used to hold liquid and solid wastes prior to flushing.
Photo source: Plumbing Supply.Accessed September 24, 2003, by permission.
Water Spot/Sanitary Seal — This is the water surface that you see inside the toilet bowl after the flush is completed. This water in the bowl assists with the movement of solids into the trapway and provides a liquid seal in the trapway so that sewer gasses don't pass from the waste line into your home.
Evacuation - In toilet talk, this is the flushing process that removes liquids and solids from your bowl.
Tank to Bowl Seal - This is the round "donut-shaped" seal between the tank and bowl in a two-piece toilet. This seal provides a cushion upon which the tank rests and acts to prevent water leaks around the coupling between the tank and the bowl.
Shut-off/Supply Valve - The valve on your wall near the base of the toilet with a round or oval handle that allows you to shut your water off while servicing the toilet.
Supply Line - This is the solid or flexible line between the shut-off/supply valve and the connection on the bottom of your tank (fill valve fitting).
Billy Bolt Set - A package of "T" shaped bolts, flat and dome nuts, and round and/or oval washers used to connect the toilet bowl to the closet ring.
Closet Ring - The metal or plastic flange that is permanently installed at the end of your waste line (at floor level) and has slots for the "T" bolts/Billy-Bolts. The inside diameter is normally three to four inches. The closet ring mates with the outlet on the bottom of your bowl and provides the means for evacuation.
Wax Ring - The yellowish beeswax (or beeswax type material) ring between the bottom of your toilet bowl and the mating closet-ring (flange). It is "donut" shaped, about one inch thick. A seal is achieved when the wax ring is squeezed between the bottom of your toilet bowl and the top of the closet-ring.
Ballcock (Fill Valve) - You will only find this in a gravity-fed toilet. It is the tall mechanism you see inside your tank (left-hand side) with a float connected to it by means of a metal rod or plastic arm. Or, instead of a float mounted at the end of a rod, it can have the float sliding up and down the tube/barrel of the mechanism itself.
Float - The bulb-shaped sphere on the outer end of the float rod/arm OR the can-shaped float that slides up and down over the fill valve tube.
Float Arm - The metal rod or plastic arm that connects the ballcock's float to the shut-off lever on the ballcock valve itself. On those fill valves without the float at the end of a rod or arm, a rod-like stiff-heavy wire link with an adjusting clip connects the shut-off lever to the float, performing the same shut-off function.
Float Arm Adjusting Screw - This screw is normally only found where the float is connected to the shut-off lever by means of the metal rod or plastic arm. When turned clockwise, this screw causes the water flowing into the tank to shut off earlier. The same effect is accomplished by moving the stiff wire link downward using the adjusting clip for the slide-type float mechanism.
Douglas Flush Valve - You will find this in most gravity-fed toilets. It is the mechanism you see directly in the center, inside your tank. On one side of it, you will see a hollow tube approximately one inch in diameter (the overflow tube). Connected to the tube by means of "trunion mounting ears" is the flapper. The flapper regulates the amount of water that passes from the tank into your bowl during the flush cycle.
Refill Tube - This is the small plastic tube (approximately 1/8-inch in diameter) that is connected near the top of the ballcock mechanism on one end and to the inside of the overflow tube on the other end. Water only flows through this tube during the flush cycle and is the water that replenishes the toilet's water spot/sanitary seal.
Overflow Tube - This is the approximately one-inch diameter hollow tube to which the refill tube is connected. This is the passageway for the water making up the water spot/sanitary seal to enter the bowl. When the water level is adjusted too high, then water will flow from the inside of the tank into this tube and into the toilet bowl.
Trunion and Trunion-ring - Trunion "mounting ears" are the approximately 1/8-inch diameter by 3/8-inch long shafts protruding out from the overflow tube near its base. These are the "ears" to which the flapper connects. In some cases the overflow tube is void of these ears in which case, a "rubber" type round "trunion-ring" with two mounting ears slides down over the tube to provide the connecting points for the flapper.
Flapper - The flapper is the flush valve seal and serves to control the volume of water passing from the tank to the bowl during the flush cycle. It mates with the seat on the Douglas flush valve to complete the seal and prevent water leaking from the tank into the bowl between flushes. Almost all flappers are shaped, in part, like a "flying saucer," that is, slight "dome" on top, flat like a "pancake" in the center and then (not like a flying saucer) a "funnel" or "bulb" shape on the bottom. This whole assembly is usually one molded part and is made of flexible rubber-like material. The center or pancake shaped mid-section is approximately three inches in diameter. Other flappers (or seals) are of a flat washer-like design.

There are four common types of flappers:
Flapper Seat - The hard, round surface at the base (or seat) of the Douglas flush valve. The flapper rests on the seat when the valve is closed. The seat surrounds the two-inch opening at the base of the Douglas flush valve, which is almost always made of PVC material although some older toilets were equipped with brass valves. All water used during the flush cycle passes through the valve.
Water Level - The water level inside the tank of a gravity-fed toilet. Some manufacturers cast a porcelain "fill line" inside the tank, while other manufacturers put a fill mark on the overflow tube. In some cases, no fill line is indicated. In such circumstances, a good rule of thumb is to adjust the water level to one inch below the top of the overflow tube.
Flush or Trip Handle - This is the handle normally found on the upper left front of the tank or on the upper left side of the tank. It is the mechanism pushed or pulled to effect the flush.
Flush or Trip Lever Arm - This is the metal or plastic extension connected to the flush valve. It is on the inside of the tank and can be up to six inches long. It reaches from the handle directly to the flush valve or to a location over the top of the flapper.
Flush or Trip Lever Chain/Tail - This is the connecting link between the flush/trip lever arm and the flapper. When adjusted properly, this connecting link allows the arm to pull the flapper open to initiate the flush cycle.
Water level adjustment
Even a new toilet needs its water level adjusted within 30 days of toilet installation. That is because there are rubber diaphragms in most all ballcock mechanisms and those diaphragms stretch like a rubber band. Also, an increase in water pressure (usually in early morning hours) can cause the water level inside the tank to rise. For example, a 15 to 20 pound pressure increase can cause the water level in your tank to rise by up to 1/2- inch, and it is not uncommon for your water pressure to rise that much during the very early morning hours. To lower the water level in your tank, find the adjusting screw on the top of your fill valve. A screwdriver (or even a dime) will be all you need to turn the screw. If you want to lower the level, turn the screw clockwise on those ballcock-type mechanisms with floats hanging off the end of metal rods or plastic arms. If your fill valve has the float sliding up and down the barrel or shaft, then you will need to lower the stiff wire-like link using the "V" shaped clip. With either type, it might take you several tries to get the water to the level recommended by the manufacturer. On some toilets, the water level is shown as a line inscribed in the porcelain, others will have the line indicated on the overflow tube. If you are unable to find a water level mark then a good rule of thumb is to adjust the level to 1-inch below the top of the overflow tube and then check the level every three months.
In isolated cases the water will creep up on the overflow tube even though the adjustment is correct. If you find water is escaping through the overflow tube, your ballcock diaphragm is likely the culprit. If you value your time, you are probably better off to replace the entire fill valve, instead of replacing just the diaphragm. The replacement of the fill valve is relatively simple. Turn the water off at the shut-off/supply valve, remove the supply line from the fill valve, remove the flange nut on the underside of the tank that anchors the fill valve, disconnect the refill tube and pull out the old valve. It's probably a good idea to take the old valve to the hardware store and once there, check with their resident plumbing specialist regarding the best choice. There are now replacement fill valves available that are a great improvement over the old dinosaur you have with you. Install your new model following the manufacturer's instructions.

Lazy Magnolia beer coming to a tap or shelf near you
The Columbus Dispatch - March 06, 2014 04:31 PM
Mississippi's Lazy Magnolia beer is on its way to a bar tap or store shelf near you.
"It has gone out to a few accounts on tap already this week," said Cheryl Harrison, a representative of Superior Beverage Group in Columbus, which will distribute the craft beer in central and northeast Ohio. "It's ready to go and will likely start hitting shelves next week, heavier, the following week as we formally kick it off."
Located in Kiln, Lazy Magnolia Brewing Co. bills itself as Mississippi's first "package brewery" (it packages and ships its beer rather than serve it to customers on-site) since Prohibition. The brewery chose Ohio as its first customer outside the South.
"We're eager to get our beers on store shelves and bar taps in Ohio," said Joshua Boggs, Lazy Magnolia's brand manager, in a statement. "We think the state is ready for a taste of the South and a dose of Southern Hops'pitality" (the name of one of the beers).
Native Mississippians Mark and Leslie Henderson brewed their first commercial batch in 2005. A year later, their brewery won a bronze medal for its Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale (made from roasted pecans), among other awards, in the 2006 World Beer Cup. It will sell Southern Pecan, Southern Hops'pitality, Lazy Saison and Timber Beast beers in Ohio.

Is this the Wii 2? Nintendo has released an official statement confirming a new console, codenamed "Project Cafe", will be playable at E3 2011. No details on the new Nintendo console have been announced except for the fact that it will arrive in 2012. The company promises to announce the console's specs and more during the annual industry trade show later in June.
Here's the statement from Nintendo:
"Nintendo has decided to launch in 2012 a system to succeed Wii, which the company has sold 86.01 million units on a consolidated shipment basis between its launch in 2006 and the end of March 2011.
We will show a playable model of the new system and announce more specifications at the E3 Expo, which will be held June 7-9, 2011, in Los Angeles."
While Nintendo hasn't revealed any further details on the alleged Wii 2, which is codenamed "Project Cafe," there are a number of reports about the system's specifications, including the word from IGN's sources that the Nintendo project will "out perform the PlayStation 3's NVIDIA 7800GTX-based processor. Like the Xbox 360, the system's CPU will be a custom-built triple-core IBM PowerPC chipset, but the clocking speeds will be faster." Supposedly, the system will support 1080p output with the potential for stereoscopic 3D as well, granting it the additional nickname "Wii HD". Price-wise, Project Cafe is predicted to retail for between $350 and $400.
"Project Cafe" is rumored to have an interesting touchscreen controller as well, but Nintendo has remained tight lipped on the console's specifics. We've speculated on what the Wii 2 console might have inside, but what do you think is coming? A beefier console than the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, or another Wii, marketed towards a more family friendly demographic?
If the new Nintendo console's strategy is to "out-power" the major consoles on the market, it basically represents a 180 degree turn from the guiding philosophy of the Wii. The Wii was always a system designed to be less powerful, but more user-friendly and with broader appeal than the 360 and PS3.
We'll keep you updated right up to E3 (June 7-9), and, of course, our E3 coverage will be massive, featuring news, previews, videos and much, much more.

Dual Career Program
At Michigan Tech, we want to attract and retain exceptional faculty, staff and administrators. We recognize that our success often depends on meeting the needs of two careers. The Dual Career Program was created to help spouses/partners gain knowledge about Michigan Tech and potential employment opportunities at the University and in the local area.
The program also supports dual career hiring at Michigan Tech within available resources and in cases that are critical to the University's mission and strategic goals.
Eligibility for assistance through the Dual Career Program
The program assists primarily the spouse/partner of new faculty hires with their employment search and networking in the community for their first two years in the area. The program also assists the spouse/partner of candidates of a national search or when an issue of retention is identified.
How Dual Career Program works
In order to become a Dual Career Client, the applicant makes his or her department aware of an interest in the services of the Dual Career Program. An initial consultation with the spouse or partner provides background on employment interests and other community needs.
The Dual Career Program coordinator will assist in identifying local and regional networking contacts. It is the responsibility of the client to assist in the job search effort. It does not create an entitlement to employment, nor does it guarantee job placement.
Priority is given to those individuals whose spouse or partner has been employed at the University less than two years.

Like a Fine Wine...1 of 14
By Julie Fishman, editor of The Little Black Blog of Big Red Flags
As evidenced by Pierce Brosnan and George Clooney, men only get better with age. More confident and experienced, a middle-aged man knows what he wants and how to get it as well as who he wants and how to treat her. Here are ten more reasons why you may want to ditch Bieber for Bon Jovi.
They're Super Sexy2 of 14
Who wants a skinny boy with peach fuzz when you can have a beefy man with a five o'clock shadow? An older guy knows how to wear a suit, and his salt-and-pepper hair complements it quite well. While he may have a few wrinkles, they make him look rugged and all the more sexy.
They Know What They Want3 of 14
Men of a certain age have dated around enough to know what they're looking for in a woman. They're more forthright from the start, saving you the endless hours spent wondering "what are we?" and "is this going anywhere?" that are inevitable when you're dating a relationship rookie.
They're Established4 of 14
While the twentysomethings are still couch-surfing and job hunting, men in their mid-thirties, forties and fifties own homes and have long-standing careers. Without the need to prove or establish themselves, older men have more time to dote on you and more money to put toward said doting.
ON THE LITTLE BLACK BLOG: Red Flag Hall of Fame
They're Confident5 of 14
Older men know who they are and what they have to offer. While everyone has insecurities and doubts, men who've lived a bit more tend to have the self-knowledge that a lot of younger guys struggle with. A confident man won't burden you with ego stroking and will be able to handle the inevitable thick and thin of any relationship.
They're Good in Bed6 of 14
Having had plenty of practice, an older man usually knows his way around the female body and communicates well between the sheets. Plus, with less testosterone flying around, they can take it slow, focus on you and hold out longer.
ON THE LITTLE BLACK BLOG: Dating Horror Stories
They're More Mature7 of 14
It's common knowledge that women mature faster than men. While a lot of women in their twenties are looking for a long-term relationship, most men that age aren't ready to settle down yet. Having sown their wild oats and dated around, older men are more likely to commit.
They're Groomed8 of 14
Having dated several women before you, an older man's had plenty of gals "fix him up." His skin looks great because he knows about moisturizer; he has bath mats outside his shower; and he's terrific at tweezing his unibrow. Sure, these seem like small things, but they all add up to one dashing dude.
They Won't Try to Change You9 of 14
Unlike a young gun, a silver fox knows better than to force you to fit his mold — he's likely tried before and failed. If an older guy is with you, it's because you have the qualities that he knows he wants. You're free to be yourself, faults and all.
They Take Vacations10 of 14
Younger men don't go on vacation very often, mainly because: 1) they don't have the cash; 2) they can't take off of work because they still need to impress their boss. An older, established man has both the money and the job security to travel … and take you along, of course.
They'll Teach You Stuff11 of 14
Older men are typically more aware of the world around them — they're socially, emotionally and financially experienced and can pass those skills along to you. Plus, they're great Trivial Pursuit partners!
ON THE LITTLE BLACK BLOG: Submit Your Red Flag Story!
They Aren't Tied to the 'Rents12 of 14
Not only are older men established in their lives and careers, they are more independent from their parents. While the bond between mom and son is touching, you're less likely to deal with a meddling mom-in-law with an older man.
Their Hormones Are Calmer13 of 14
We don't know about you, but we have yet to meet a woman looking for a guy with more testosterone. As this hormone drops with age, men are less prone to angry outbursts and more in touch with their ability to listen to us.
Now, the Other Side14 of 14
Okay, so I've told you the benefits of older men, but now it's time to give younger men their due. Read on to learn why dating down may be just as fulfilling ...

Skip to comments.Vanity - Sen Ted Cruz is natural Born Citizen!!!
Posted on 03/06/2013 1:26:12 PM PST by Perdogg
Sen Ted Cruz's mother was a US Citizen at the time of his birth, therefore he is nBC! He just said on Hannity he was a US Citizen at time of birth.
Cruz/Rand 2016
Interestinger and interestinger. (Or more and more interesting for the grammar nazis.)
If this turns out to be the case, Cruz would be at the very top of my list of favored candidates. He has the guts, the communication skills, and the experience to run a great campaign and be a great leader.
The birthers will disagree.
Yeah, Walker's "inner Wisconsin liberal" will pop out at the darndest times....so he's great for Wisconsin, but he ain't the national answer. Cruz on the other hand....no inner Wisconsin liberal inside that man I'm fairly sure.
It would help their case if they would do 2 things:
A: get someone of the ilk of Cucinelli or Levin to EVER agree with them on NBC status......and
B: Quit muddying up the issue of NBC and the place of birth of the actual person in question.
According to birthers, Cruz fails the criteria on two accounts. 1) Only his mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth. His father was a Cuban immigrant to the U.S. 2) Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada - his parents were there on business with the oil business.
IBTZ (of the birther entourage).
His path to citizenship pretty much finishes him.
One only needs to be born a U.S. citizen rather than have to be naturalized as a citizen.
That has always been the rule as the Constitution only mentioned or envisioned THREE types of U.S. citizen.
One type were those who were citizens at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. They are all dead.
Currently there are only TWO types of U.S. citizen - those who were born U.S. citizens and those who had to be naturalized as citizens.
He was indeed a US citizen at birth, but did he claim to be 'natural born' as well?
In what way?
Being a natural born citizen used to require having both parents be US citizens.
That's a nice spin for the pro-Rubio, Jindal, Cruz types, but it is at least open to debate, considering that the language used in the Constitution for only issue of the presidency fits with the higher standard that the term was commonly known to mean at the time.
Cruz was BORN a U.S. citizen. He was not naturalized at any point in his life.
I did not write what you just quoted.
Yes, he was born a US citizen, but he does not appear to meet the standard of 'natural born citizen' as was used and applied at the writing of the Constitution.
I doubt it will be enforced, as Obama, at least by his public story of his origins, failed to meet it and is quite obviously holding office today—and I expect it's just another bit of the Constitution that will be ignored.
The term "natural born" applied to most of the founding fathers - they were "natural born" subjects of England - most of whom were NOT born in England. Obviously the term as they understood it did not include having to be born in the nation. According to English law birth place was not the primary consideration - as one Brit pointed out when people said he was Irish (he was born in Ireland) "being born in a barn doesn't make one a horse.".
The "higher standard" still applies just as when the Constitution was written - of the three types of citizen the Constitution establishes - naturalized citizens are excluded from the Presidency.
Is Sen Ted Cruz a naturalized citizen? No. He is not.
Huh? I'd not heard that about Cruz. Here's what I've seen from Sen. Cruz on that...
I appreciate the good work that senators in both parties have put into trying to fix our broken immigration system. There are some good elements in this proposal, especially increasing the resources and manpower to secure our border and also improving and streamlining legal immigration. However, I have deep concerns with the proposed path to citizenship. To allow those who came here illegally to be placed on such a path is both inconsistent with rule of law and profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who waited years, if not decades, to come to America legally.
Yes, McCain in my book was a NBC.
Of course, my book isn't as authoritative as Vattel, except for its being based on Vattel.
Cruz served Texas honorably as Solictor General. He defended Texas before the Supreme Court, to keep the so-called International Court of in-Justice from interfering in the death sentences handed down against murderering foreign nationals, Medlin v Texas. He also clerked for Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Cruz is well-spoken, communicates conservatism effectively and fiercely defends the Constitution with vigor and enthusiasm. All qualities the next Republican presidential nominee will need in abundance.
You are correct, but there are many birthers who maintain that McCain was not "natural born" because he was born in Panama (even though both of his parents were U.S. citizens).
The purist birthers hold that you must be born in the U.S. to parents who are both U.S. citizens at the time of your birth.
There are variants. Some birthers are okay with your being born outside of the country to U.S. citizens as McCain was. A few birthers are okay with your being born in the U.S. to parents, one of which was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth.
I believe that being born a U.S. citizen according to the Constitution is the same as being "natural born". If you have always been a U.S. citizen since the second you were born, you are "natural born" irregardless of the status of your parents.
Sorry, I meant that as a reply to Post 12.
It does no such thing.
I agree. There are two natural law concepts that determine citizenship at birth, place and parentage. Any combination sufficient to be a natural born citizen is born a U.S. citizen with natural allegiance to the U.S.A.. The only other way to become a U.S. citizen to be "naturalized" into that state of natural allegiance.
Me too. Whatever we do, we have to unify fast. The money is obviously going to be behind Jeb.
It will be a great day for the USA when/if the government gets back to what it used to be and people are not looking to get around the Constitution and subvert it for personal political purposes or interpretations.
The Constitution mentions natural born citizens, those who were citizens at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, and naturalized citizens. It makes no mention of any other type of U.S. citizen.
So was Obama's.
C'mon, you know if he runs the Left will suddenly discover the "natural born" clause and raise a humongeous stink and sue if he wins (with John Roberts likely casting the fifth vote to toss him).
I thought we? Who, you and Karl Rove? That team?
I'm thanking God and my lucky Texas stars for Senator Ted Cruz!
A couple weeks back on Rush Limbaugh some liberal believed natural born meant the child was born vaginally. however a child born by c-section was not naturally born. I know the difference being a conservative and so forth. but thought to put the liberal view out there about natural born (sometimes ignorance is a real problem).
My records of Vattel writtings show his arguments were 'The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens'. We must have different versions of what Vattel defined as 'natural born'. Along with other readings about this Constitutional requirement I will consider my take on Vattel as being more rigidly accurate and appropriate.
OK, I got you. I just always assumed those who were citizens at the time of the adoption of the Constitution were a sub catagory of natural born citizens not seperate. Either way, we agree there are now only two types.
I believe Article 2, Section 1 of the US Constitution features national security provisions crucial to the long-term integrity and sovereignty of the United States of America.
What is the operative definition of 'natural born Citizen' in the context of the Constitution and on what do you base your answer?
Do you need me to find for you the section where he says that those born of soldiers serving their nation overseas are deemed to be born in country for such purposes?
What do I get when I find it for you? Will you admit you were wrong?
What Difference Does it make!?!?!
That is just great--because I am a strong Cruz fan.
Did he happen to give you a USCA citation which provides for how he got to be a U S Citizen at Birth?
There are two issues here: One, was he a citizen when he was born; and Two, was he a "Natural Born Citizen" within the meaning of Article II, Sec. 1 of the U S Constitution. Which issue are we talking about?
And we don't know all the facts with respect to the current hot issue which is citizen at birth.
What we do know is that he had a mother and father who were married to each other; that his mother was a U S Citizen; that his father was not a U S Citizen; and that Cruz himself was not born within the confines of the several states.
What we do not know is the exact date of his birth; the exact date of the birth of his mother; and the amount of time his mother was a resident of the United States after age 14.
The question of citizenship at birth turns on the citizenship statute in effect at the time he was born. I believe that statute provided that a person who was the son of a citizen mother, non-citizen father, is a citzen at birth only if the mother had resided in the United States for five years after the age of 14. That is in part based on an assumption about Kruz's birth date--the statutory perameters changed at various times in the 60's and 70's. The effective date for the amendments of the statute are in the USCA footnotes for anyone who chooses to look.
There are two further problems with the statute.
The consensus of the Constitutional Law Bar (per the Cornell Law Review article on the subject) is that the statute is unconstitutional because a father citizen's child would not have the same rights if the mother was not a citizen.
And, further, the Congressional Research Service opinion on the topic attempts to equate citizenship at birth with Natural Born Citizenship at Law. There are several reasons why that reasoning is faulty. But one of the principal reasons as one of the posters to which this is addressed infers above, may be that Congresses only power over citizenship is naturalization--thus if Congress seeks to make a person who is not a Natural Born Citizen a citizen at birth even though such person was born outside the geographical limits of the several states, such citizenship is by naturalization and not Natural Born.
Absent a naturalization proceeding (which has not happened in the case of Cruz) Cruz is a citizen only if the mother citizen statute is constitutional and his mother meets the statutory test to confer citizenship--and citizenship (for a term of years--I believe 9) is required to be eligible to hold the office of United States Senator. Both questionable.
Further, as to issue #2, Natural Born under Article I: Birth outside the United States resolves the issue against him.
Let him announce soon and see what the dems say
As to defining what is "natural born" - Vattel in 212 is more accurately translated as "indigenous or natives". There is nothing in the original French that could be accurately translated to "natural born" which was the common term in English law for one born a citizen.
Were Cruz's parents,either one, in a foreign country fighting or even representing for the USA? I will be waiting for you to find the words of Vattel that supersede the actual quote I cited. I believe the Constitution was a very good resoned and constructed document for times then and now.
Yes the Constitution was extremely well reasoned, and only those who were citizens at the time of the adoption and natural born citizens were qualified for the Presidency. This leaves out the only other type of citizen the Constitution provides for, those being naturalized citizens.
Do you contend that Senator Cruz is a naturalized citizen? What type of citizen do you suppose Senator Cruz is? Based upon what law?
Cruz was born in Canada to parents weren't working in the oil industry while there. Unlike McCain whose parents were in the military or Obama who supposedly was born in HI. Cruz's father didn't become a naturalized citizen until 2005.
If we fail to throw him out on this basis, his Presidency will set the new precedent in practice. The USSC swore him in twice.
It will then become the standard Constitutional interpretation that NBC = born to at least one full US citizen.
It will do us no good to restrict ourselves and our selections when the USSC will have already set precedence for that standard with Obama and a de facto definition of what NBC may include.
Let's run Cruz/Rubio if they're up to the task. The libs will regret the precedent they allowed go be set with Obama.
"Cruz/Rand 2016" Yes please!
No more Bushes.
Also, John Bolton as Sec State and Sarah Palin as Sec Energy... to disband it.
Rubio IMO is very much NOT up to the task. An overambitious and duplicitous pro-amnesty Bush property.
