| 3D Studio Help Tesco Secure Planning Permission3rd Dimension are delighted to announce that the photomontage work produced by the their studio played a part in securing the polanning permission for the proposed tesco store in Cavan town.
The work involved the preparation of 16no photomontage 3d images along with 6no 3D renders which were all an important part of the visual impact study included in the planning application. The photomontages were produced in order to demonstrate the impact, or lack thereof, the proposed development will have on it's surrounding environment when built. The viewpoint of each photomontage was taken at a particular location that was deemed to be of a sensitive nature and of a concern to the planning authorities. It was important for each photomontage to be a true and accurate representation of what the proposed development will look like from each location, hence the 3rd Dimension were once again commissioned by Tesco to carry out the work. Whilst the majority of photomontages were straight forward in terms of 3D modelling and 3D visualisation, one of them proved a little trickier. Nicholas Polley MD of 3rd Dimension explained why "One of the major concerns during the planning process was the impact that the store would have on the existing small town centre and the linkage between both developments. The photomontages from the existing town centre car park were crucial in illustrating how the proposed linkage will be engineered. This linkage includes the construction of a proposed lift shaft and pedestrian walkway. 3D modeling this part of the development proved the most challenging part of the project but our 3D cad team and 3D artist did a fantastic job." He continued with the importance of such work in the planning process "When it comes to planning applications, and in particular sensitive ones, the photomontage work of 3rd Dimension is an important part of visual impact studies that accompany such an application. They not only help our clients and planning authorities determine the impact, if any, that a proposed development will have, when built, on neighbouring existing developments and its surrounding environment but our 3D images also help address any concerns that they may have regarding the design, scale and location of the proposed development." With the securing of plannig permission for such a high profile project, you can easily understand why Tesco call upon the likes of 3rd Dimension. Without such imagery informed decisions cannot be made and therefore wrong decisions can be made. If you are currently seeking planning permission and require a consultation with 3rd Dimension regarding the production of photomontages for your planning application, you can contact them at the web address above.

India Cricket Board 'Unlikely' To Support ICC's Approval Of Day/Night Tests
A top official said that India is "unlikely to embrace the concept of day/night Test matches" because a previous experiment in first-class cricket fell flat, according to the AFP. The Int'l Cricket Council announced this week that Tests can now be played under lights. Cricket Australia "applauded the move," but the Board of Control for Cricket in India "was lukewarm toward the idea," despite having tried the concept in a domestic final in '97. BCCI Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty said, "We were the first to experiment with this and our experience was not so great. At this stage we have no such proposal" (AFP, 10/31).
TRYING TO SURVIVE: In Chennai, S. Dinakar wrote the ICC's approval to day/night Tests and the "manner in which this has been done is nothing less than shocking." How can cricket's governing body "leave it to the member boards to decide on the type and colour of the ball to be used for a form of the game as important and prestigious as Test cricket?" Is the ICC "allowing cricket to be diluted?" Even if it supports day/night cricket, the ICC "clearly needs to specify the colour of the ball." The idea behind allowing night matches "is to attract more spectators," but then Test cricket is still "widely followed on TV." Test cricket is "quite simply the pinnacle of the sport." There are other ways to ensure that Test cricket "survives and does so in a manner that underlines its glory" (THE HINDU, 10/31). -
Volkswagen-Owned Bentley Will Return To The Racetrack In '14
British car brand Bentley "will return to the racetrack with a GT car in '14 as Volkswagen, which owns the brand, restructures its GT involvement," according to Lüttgens & Wittemeier of MOTORSPORT-TOTAL.com. Volkswagen "has already three of its brands competing in the FIA GT3 series," Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi. In '14 a fourth one will follow as Volkswagen "prepares the return of Bentley to the racetrack." Research & Development Head Wolfgang Dürheimer, who is charge of Volkwagen's motorsport activities, said, "We will present ourselves in GT racing with Bentley starting in 2014." Bentley's last motorsport involvement was in '03 when it won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Dürheimer added, "The brand has celebrated numerous victories in motorsports, not only the overall victory in Le Mans in '03" (MOTORSPORT-TOTAL.com, 10/30).
Horsemen's Group Holds 'Crisis Meeting' After New Chair Walks Out
Great Britain's Horsemen's Group was to hold a "crisis board meeting" Wednesday following the sudden resignation of Philip Freedman, who had been due to become chairman on Jan. 1, according to Chris Cook of the London GUARDIAN. Freedman's departure "appears to have been caused by repeated clashes" with Group CEO Alan Morcombe, over the way in which the body should proceed. Freedman wrote in a statement: "I am resigning from the board with immediate effect. It has become clear in recent days that the differences between the chief executive and myself over how the HG should best act in the interests of its members are so great that we cannot continue working together." Freedman was unavailable for further comment, and was believed to have boarded a plane to California for this weekend's Breeders' Cup before the news broke. Morcombe responded by releasing a "terse" statement, noting the group "is disappointed with Philip's decision, and unsuccessful efforts were made to get him to reconsider." Wednesday's meeting was to be between Morcombe and representatives of the group's constituent bodies, the Racehorse Owners Association, the National Trainers Federation, the Professional Jockeys Association, the National Association of Stable Staff and the Thoroughbred Breeders Association (GUARDIAN, 10/30).
League Notes: Analyst To Review Orica-GreenEDGE Following Armstrong Scandal
An independent analyst will be appointed to review every aspect of Australian cycling team Orica-GreenEDGE in the wake of the Lance Armstrong doping scandal. Athlete and staff integrity "are expected to be the core issue of the wide-ranging review" (HERALD SUN, 11/1). ... Pakistan cricket authorities insisted that preparations "were well on course" for a Twenty20 league with int'l stars in March next year. The Pakistan Premier League is seen "as a key step toward reviving int'l cricket in the country" (AFP, 10/30).

Tokyo Police arrested an extremist Thursday for sending his severed finger to the ruling party to protest the prime minister's absence from a shrine on the anniversary of the end of World War II, officials and news reports said.
Yoshihiro Tanjo, a 54-year-old member of an ultra-right-wing group in Okayama, western Japan, was arrested on charges of threatening Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Liberal Democratic Party, a prefectural police spokesman said on customary condition of anonymity. He said no other details could be immediately released.
Kyodo News agency said Tanjo mailed his severed left pinky finger, a DVD showing the finger being chopped, and a protest statement to the LDP headquarters Aug. 16, the day after the anniversary of the war's end.

On occasion (or more often than not), I like to make myself a decadent breakfast.
I pull out the waffle maker, brew a huge pot of coffee, and whip up a breakfast that could possibly rival any restaurant.
This is one of those breakfast (and I think the photos speak for themselves.)
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour*
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2-1 cup coconut milk
- Topping:
- 1 pound red cherries, pitted and quartered
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/3 cup non-sweetened coconut flakes
- Preheat oven to 425˚. Toss quartered cherries with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Place in a roasting pan or on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. Roast until soft, 15-20 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup and 1/2 cup of coconut milk. Pour in to dry ingredients and lightly stir until combined, adding more coconut milk to reach a pourable consistency.
- Preheat waffle iron. Once iron is ready, pour roughly 1/2 the batter in and cook according to iron's** directions. Continue with remaining batter.
- Place coconut flakes in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, shaking pan often, until coconut is lightly toasted.
- Once waffles are done, top with roasted cherries and coconut flakes. You can also use butter and extra maple syrup.

Friday morning I arrange for a climatologist to appear on a radio breakfast show. Her subject - the increase over more than 80 years of records of increasing frequency of heavy rain events in Northern England. www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12151866 (And one record going back to 1745 - that's the year Bonnie Prince Charlie marched on London at the head of a Highland army!!)Svere weather warnings swiftly followed. Between 2100 that night and around 1200 on ...

Because a couple of weeks after that, the weather broke and it's barely stopped raining since. Two weeks ago the passenger boats on England's largest lake were changing their routes because of shallow water. Now they're missing a stop because the jetty is under water. The water company says we need another week or two like this before it's once more legal to water the garden - but bountiful nature is doing that without assistance....
By: FormerAussie, 3:26 PM GMT on June 25, 2010
.... is presumably why the commonest comment is that the UK water companies have a ban on hosepipes every year. No.... not in this region. In the NW of England, it was 16 years ago. In Kent (where the national newspaper editors live) they're a little more frequent - and everything that happens in Kent, is of course newsworthy.
By: FormerAussie, 1:02 PM GMT on June 24, 2010
So here in the NW of England last November we broke all records for 24 hour rainfall. It's barely rained since - and for the first couple months it snowed instead, in the coldest winter since 1929. Not a lot, though - and the water company's just announced the first measures to deal with the drought following the driest spring since sometime way back. At least it's not boring....

MoooOOOooorning – Happy Sunday!
MoooOOOooorning – Happy Sunday!
There I was thinking you had posted and run – I just finished the evening chores & popped in to see the news – and a new thread appeared – the small pleasures of life 🙂
Have a great Sunday. Celebrate PBO – again.
I have an either or choice this morning 99ts – (1) Sort out the mountain of washing I did the last couple of days, or (2) sit here and chat idly.
(2) it is then 🙂
Chatting is good – DON'T watch the Sunday hate shows. I'll see if I can find the good news
1. Andrea Mitchell is still being hammered – not a murmur since that tweet
2. Everything the GOP says against Sgt Bergdahl will lose them votes in November – I'm now wondering how Idaho may vote
My daughter reports that my (fairly) new grandbabe LOVES "laundry time". As she takes each item out of the dryer, she announces it—-"mommy's tshirt"—–"daddy's underwear" etc. and waves it over her like a fresh laundry fan and tickles her face and hands. Baby thinks this is the most hilarious thing of all time. So multi-tasking complete—–laundry done, baby joyfully entertained.
I just love that the President can overtake all and any noise that the media and the GOP are making with the completely unexpected good news of the day – and he just keeps doing it!
I'm doing up the week ahead schedule for R&S, 99ts, and Sunday has 'no public events scheduled' – I laugh now when I see that. Last week he turned up in Afghanistan, heaven knows what he'll do today. Hopefully golf, but knowing him, he'll probably bring peace to the Middle East by lunchtime.
Hiya Jovie, no, he's not leaving until Monday night, earlier in the day is the big announcement about cutting carbon-dioxide emissions.
Turn down for what?
Good morning!
I wonder what the political shows will say today about prisoner swap? The right is literally livid. To me, this is interesting!
I am pretty sure those spec forces Were Green Berets with support from Rangers. 18 Soldiers were involved and Knoller got terminology wrong. It's not SF for Army spec forces, it's FF!
I am glad this democrat is on msnbc sticking up for the president on this prisoner swap.
I started to watch it Jovie but when Steve used the GOP talking point in his introduction, I decided not to bother
Yesterday he started his show with …" Shinseki Out…..What took so Long " ?
I turned him off immediately.
Yep – 1 story wonder – without Christie he is just like the rest of them – and even with Christie he started bringing in the apologists.
I was up early and considered turning on Steve Kornacki. Seems like I made the right choice.
Instead I got my early morning aggravation by reading the pile of poop that is delivered to my doorstep each day. To no ones surprise the NY Times is not all that happy about the Obama Doctrine speech in West Point. The prisoner swap is of special concern to Mike Rodgers, the outgoing Repub head of some committee, outgoing—let me emphasize to the bright lights and big bucks of broadcast TV propaganda.
Also, the Taliban are not terrorist, Al Qaeda are the terrorist.
In the 1980s, we were working with the now Taliban, then it was Mujahadeen. So we know some of the leaders.
The story as it should be reported
Welcome Home, Sergeant Bowe
The real-life nightmare of America's last Prisoner of War is finally over.
What has Danny done to you?! Are you now writing emails like that to clients?
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family. I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Sunday morning (are what time it is where you live 99t). Congrats 99t on being first this morning, afternoon, evening. 😀 😀 😀 ❤
Thank you RanMan – it was 10.22pm in my world when you posted your tweet. I time travel at TOD – makes for interesting times.
That tweet is hurtful to the Eyes…..sheesh. Just looking at that stimulates the eyes to staying AWAKE!
Hagel discusses details of U.S. operation to exchange Taliban detainees for captive soldier
Morning all. Republicans are revealing themselves at every turn as bitter, mean-spirited, anti-veteran, anti-child, anti-humanity, narrow-minded little weasels (no offense to weasels). There will always be the malcontents and paranoid of the world who will cheer them on, but decent people who love their children, care about the feelings of others, have sympathy for those who struggle and were born will a heart and a conscience are repelled by them. I hope they keep talking, escalating their hatred and their venom until everyone sees what they are and shuns them–especially in November.
A lot of it is countering what the President is trying to accomplish.
They try to never let him win a news cycle, always a lot of noise out there to drown out the good news and accomplishments.
Yes—-every time there is seemingly good news, within minutes the GOP pop out from behind the bushes to blast out some controversy or negativity in an attempt to destroy the moment/glad tidings. And the media obliges by spreading that theme.
sez lotsa land and so few peeps. stayed with a very friendly farmer whose house was surrounded by gazillion acres of land. per sis, irish >>>> limeys.
I should hope so too! Population was 12-ish million before the famine, and it's still only got back up to 4 million – so, plenty of space for the sheep to graze 🙂
I was out of pocket yesterday. I come back to TOD last night to find that the snarling and haughty Grand Dame of MSNBC (aka Mrs. Greenspan) just could not hide her contempt for President Obama. Her snarky and sarcastic tweet about the release of Bowe Bergdahl, was textbook. With President Obama, no matter what happens, no matter how positive, no matter how groundbreaking, rule number one is find a way to diminish any positive reporting. At all costs, focus on some negative angle to the story. It was so gratifying to see that Mrs. Greenspan got hammered. I have never understood the gushing over her reporting at MSNBC.
right-wingers never surprise in their hateful reactions to everything PBO does – even in the case of life and death situations;
we knew right-wingers will attack PBO about this issue of releasing Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl ;
but one would have hoped that they (at the very least) wait to hear the Sgt Bowe Bergdahl (former POW's) story before they attach him and his parents;
now it seems we are going to spend time fighting back against republican vitriol on this matter – disgusting;
and to think that that they are angry about PBO doing ALL he can to save the life of an American soldier (especially one who may have been in the location as a direct result of PBO's decision as CIC) is really disgusting!
ps: I don't know which POTUS gave orders for his deployment but in the end it doesn't matter – all must be done to save the life of people in captivity (especially those who are ordered to do the nation's hardest and most dangerous work);
it is a pity that we have to remind "the patriots" (aka, GOP hatemongers) that :
(i) the life of the POW matters;
(ii) there are facts yet to be known and we should not always believe the Taliban's side of the story outright;
(iii) the reaction of parents and the people in the POW's community says it all about what is the most important outcome to pursue;
(iv) there are times when negotiations are the best solution to a complex challenge even among geo-political enemies and adversaries on the battle field;
ya think washed up golfer bob estes has ever seen the video of the muhajideed hanging out with saint ronnie reagan in the freakin white house?!?
raygun invited them there and even dedicated a space shuttle launch to the "freedom fighters." this is the time when osama bin laden was part of that group, and it's thought that mullah omar was one of the people at the white house. this was far beyond simply negotiating with terrorists! and of course there were so many other activities such as this that reagan and the bush kings did. wonder if that little iran-contra dealio ever pops into the republican mind? idjits.
And the more the US Media tries to elevate him, the worse it gets. They would be well-advised to give it a rest. No weapon formed against our President shall prosper.
And I will add that among those who claim to support his actions, I would wager that at least 50% of them have the same racist/anti-Obama motives as Snowden and his sidekick Greenwald. Nothing to do with their "principles."
I'm still laughing cause PBO threw Snowden and his interview and the sidekick way out of the news cycle – all they got was the NSA refuting Snowden's lies and then gone!
They even preempted Rachel's show Friday evening to show that Snowden interview again. I wonder how many people watched it?
Can't imagine anyone who watches Rachel's show would have wanted to see it. I find it really sad that the media supports a traitor but not the President – strange times in the USA
Which shows, Nerdy, that the American people are smarter than the media thinks they are. They know a crook and a traitor when they see one.
Not "people," but the GOP and much of the mainstream media. The rest of the public is thrilled with this news.
I hope Sgt Bergdahl refuses to have anything to do with the media – not to mention the GOP who stopped him coming home in 2012
That is what racism will do to you. The hate rules everything, even common sense.
Oh I don't know. I think those guys who play NFL are Beasts and can run like the wind. And when they hit you , pads or not, concussions are likely!
Rugby players are all Like WRs or RBs!
And yes, they get injured a lot!
The sad truth is that Reagan was not a very smart man. He was a mediocre actor and a has been when GE plucked him our of Hollywood, gave him a tv show and groomed him for politics. I never believed that he had a firm grasp of what was happening the world and was easily manipulated by those around him. President Barack Obama is the most intelligent, insightful and thoughtful man to enter the White House in the last hundred years. He knows exactly who he's dealing with in every corner of the world and NOTHING he does is thoughtless. Because he is head and shoulders above everyone around him. he is not EVER manipulated. By the way, that rug sucks.
As our dear Cookemom would say, it's a GREAT GETTIN' UP Sunday Morning in the TOD Village! Barack Obama is still our President!
Rise and Shine people! 😀
Goooood moooorrnnningnnggg, Chips and TODville.
I see the RWNJ butthurt is off the charts. I'm not RTing their talking points!
Good morning Chips, Meta and TOD. I just turned on the tv and the first thing I saw was old man Scheffer talking about John McCain being on his show to discuss whether PBO broke the law because he did not notify congress. This seem to be the new meme. One would think that McShame would be positive on this matter but he is a bitter Old man McShame will go to his grave hating himself and PBO for beating his old a@@ in 2008.
GAH. As if POTUS is sloppy in anything he does. Apparently Susan Rice said Congressional Leaders knew about the prisoner swap for weeks. So whatever. They will spend every ounce of energy sewing seeds of doubt. Truth doesn't matter.
Good morning!
As if anyone under 90 is interested in what McCain has to say. He's history–a hate-filled looney who's lost control of whatever sanity he once had.
Dudette, they only love troops that are in a war zone and in danger of death and injury. That triggers their machismo fantasies of and makes them feel more manly. If they do die, the GOP doesn't want to talk about it. If they get injured, they're on their own. Truly hateful, hateful people.
If you're not following this twitter account, you're missing out on some great stuff
The media knows how to dig up haters like Tavis. All they want is someone to come on the tv and trash Obama, specially someone black.
Rather telling that democrats just don't want to be part of the Sunday talk shows – the latter losing listeners hand over fist because of same.
Interested in this new biography of Michael Jordan—–to relive those unbelievably joyful fun times of Jordan's Wonder Years with the Bulls. We had the Best Time watching those games, all of us, family and friends, all of Chicagoland, Illinois, much of the country and around the world. We would laugh at the awesome awesomeness of it all. It was Must See TV—–every game. And whatever shortcomings Jordan may have had, I am forever grateful for just the pure escape and elation and satisfaction he brought to so many lives during that time.
Happy sunday everyone. The president has a pretty busy week coming up in Europe. Should be fun.
How can anyone with even a half a brain cell think this is a good idea. Gun nut parents putting kids at risk and making them grow up in a dangerous home environment.
And see that there was another "shooting spree" last night in Va.——-some goof with a gun was driving around Norfolk randomly shooting at people—-police officer and a kid coming home from his h.s. graduation among at least 3 dead. How many more?

WATCH IT: Tranny Insanity at CNN — No Other Side on 8-Year-old Boy Gender Confusion StoryBy Peter LaBarbera TAKE ACTION: Watch the incredible CNN video below and click HERE to give feedback to CNN Headline News. See our comments on CNN's bias beneath the YouTube video. It is simply mind-boggling that CNN chose not to include another viewpoint on this story about the Colorado elementary school encouraging gender-confusion in an eight-year-old (biological) male student who thinks he's really a girl. (Click HERE for the One News Now story citing AFTAH on this.) You will note that CNN interviews only the parent of another gender-confused child — a girl whom the mother refers to as "he" on the CNN video. Interestingly, the mother (CNN caption: "parent of transgender child"), Kim Pearson, describes how her daughter "pretty much lived like a boy growing up … He [editor: she] was just … all around very masculine, and I didn't discourage that. I just let him [editor: her] — I just went with it. And so he [she] didn't have a lot of discomfort around it because he [she] was freely expressing himself. It wasn't until his [her] body started changing that he [she] started having a lot of difficulty." Could it be that permissive parenting plays a major role in encouraging a gender-confused identity in a child? Pearson says she felt "relief" on hearing that her daughter claimed to have a male identity. Relief? A wiser parent might have sought professional help from someone not beholden to "transgender" activist ideology — to guide the troubled girl into accepting the wonderful body and sex that God gave her. In the case of the eight-year-old boy, to what future are the politically correct adults — parents and school authorities included — consigning him with their "caring" embrace of deviance? Could a body-mutilating "sex change" operation be down the road — funded by the taxpayers if the "GLBT" Lobby gets its way? In a saner era, it would be clear to all that the child — not society — has the problem. But what do we know? We're just "trans-phobes." Also note that the Colorado school principal frames this as an issue of "diversity" — showing the elasticity of that term to include extremely disordered behavioral choices among even the youngest students. This story and the way it is being reported is a microcosm of America's deep moral crisis.

I have no idea how to title this.
My daughter has not been herself since just before Christmas. Hannah is ten and anyone that knows her can describe her as a ray of sunshine. Her recent emotional turn and weight loss I had partially written off to the nasty flu she got just before Christmas and a crazy growth spurt combined with what I was figuring to be puberty onset. (joy!) That being said, I was keeping a really close eye on her and she was not getting better. This past weekend, she had no energy, falling asleep practically every time she sat down and when I put her on the scale, she was down 12 lbs. Not good considering she didn't have much fat to spare in the first place. I kept adding up the symptoms, she was drinking a lot of water until she announced even that didn't taste good and she whined about everything, epic meltdowns over the littlest disagreement with her brother.
I had made an appointment with our family doctor this past Monday and he did the standard urine test and after asking her about eating habits and where she hurt he left to check the results. Doc came barreling back in the door a few seconds later saying, we have a very sick little girl on our hands. You're off to the hospital and plan on staying for awhile. Long and short of it, Type 1 diabetes and she'll be insulin dependent for the rest of her life. Normal blood sugar levels are right around 120 and Hannah registered at 587 yesterday. She's such a trooper. At one point last night, we had 2 IV's and 4 hanging bags of assorted cocktails along with various monitors hooked to her chest and I've not seen one tear. She claims she wimped out a bit on the second IV but I'm not counting that at all since she truly didn't cry. She's doing her own finger pokes now and administering her own shots. We're trying to find the right mix and they don't anticipate our leaving the hospital until Thursday. On the IV we had gotten her down to the low 200's (they didn't want her lower than that the first night) but now she is back up over 500 again. As our current night nurse just commented, this is why they call it medical practice. We've got an amazing support group and I know this is all going to be ok, I just had to get this all off my chest. I've been sleeping here with her, having her kick my ass at scrabble at odd hours of the night because we can't sleep and watching her count her allowed carbs off the hospital menu. (in fact, she just poked her head around her Harry Potter book and said..momma..want to play scrabble? I think that child enjoys beating me!) Anyway...this is our life and everyone with kids...go give them a hug. The first photo is Hannah in the ER and the second was this afternoon just before the last of the IV bags were pulled. |

sorry to hear this , but glad to hear she is doing great. Its a good thing you took in as soon as you did! My mom has type 1 so I know how it can be with low/high sugar.
Has the doctor talked about the automatic insulin pumps? |

Thank you!
They have but feel at this time she is too young for them. We're currently playing with one that looks like an epi pen. The insulin and needle are in a vial that screws onto the pen. You then dial to 2 and push and release in order to aerate the syringe and then dial to the prescribed dose. http://www.diabetesmonitor.com/pens.htm |

My 16 year old nephew was diagnosed with this last year also. he is just a regular kid into sports and girls. No one knows what happened and how he got it. Good luck and keep her sprits up.

Awesome news this morning, Hannah's numbers dropped to 130. This is the lowest we've seen so far and considering she was back up over 500 last night we're celebrating today.
Thank you for all the comments, Hannah is reading all of them (and Killer B...my favorite is what kind of bowl is that kitty sitting in?? followed by an oooohhh...) |

Wow! Good looking out on your part! It is going to be tough for her, but I think its a good think she is finding out now and not in her 20s or something - its going to be easier for her to adjust and be compliant. Im sure youve heard this over and over but being compliant is VERY important for quality of life later on. Best wishes! Tell her she is a very tough little girl and I look up to her for being so strong :)
oh, and what beautiful hair!! I love red hair! |

Sapa Extrusions North America today unveiled ACC-U-LINE™, an improved line of rod and bar products now available to its distribution partners in North America. ACC-U-LINE features unmatched dimensional tolerances and grain structure consistency, delivering the industry's best performance in machinability.
"We are very pleased to bring ACC-U-LINE to market, offering our Premier Distributor Partners an enhanced line of rod and bar products," said Patrick Lawlor, president of Sapa Extrusions North America. "The combination of research and development through our North America Technical Center, strategic capital investments and input from our distribution partners and their customers has culminated in the best and most complete line of aluminum extruded rod, bar and hex products on the market."
As the largest soft alloy extruder in North America, Sapa Extrusions utilizes state-of-the-art indirect presses to produce much of the ACC-U-LINE rod and bar product. Unlike the direct extrusion process, indirect extrusion reduces the frictional heat generated during extrusion, resulting in rod, bar and hex products that have more consistent dimensions, mechanical properties and grain structure.
ACC-U-LINE is produced at Sapa's expertly managed billet casting centers in Cressona, PA and Spanish Fork, UT. Charlie Straface, general manager of Sapa Extrusions - Industrial, said, "This advanced manufacturing capability allows Sapa to optimize alloy chemistry for improved machinability and deliver what we call 'The Core of Consistency,' because it is what's inside that counts."
The improved product characteristics of Sapa's ACC-U-LINE can increase machine efficiencies and improve recovery of machined parts, resulting in lower operating costs for machining centers and screw machine operations.
ACC-U-LINE offers tighter tolerances, higher mechanical properties, improvedmachinability and better surface finish in machine grade products. Sapa features the largest selection of sizes with well-established industry brands, including ACC-U-BAR®, ACC-U-PLATE®, ACC-U-ROD™, JUMBO ROD and ACC-U-HEX™ for rod, square, hex, rectangular and wide bar products in the industry, available in 6061, 6082 and 6042, 6262 free machining alloys.

What happened to paying market value? Or has the market gone crazy? All the extra revenue seems to have gone to the GMs heads.
5 years, $70 million for JD Drew. 4 years, $36 million for Lugo (are you kidding me? all the bouncing around at shortstop to end with Lugo?). Add in the $19 million for Manny next year (who's reported to be staying after all) and you've got a serious budgetary issue when you're paying 3 players $42 million.
And they still haven't signed the player who should be their priority, Daisuke Matsuzaka. Oh, and what about a closer? Has anyone seen Theo et al looking for a closer this offseason? Pitching is what wins you games. I have a quote I want to place on Theo's wall where he can see it every day. "It's the pitchers, stupid!"

t!m's Tag for July!
Hey buds!!! Just wanted to share the tag I created for July! You can find t!m's version here. I had a blast with this one! My main ingredient is distress stains! I used Fired brick, broken china and the infamous white picket fence. I found this really fun and cool technique on the web, sorry I can't remember where. Prime your distress stain, then pounce it on your project and you get this so cool splatter effect!! You have to be careful though because if you pounce to hard the stain will travel......lol! I got a little carried away and got a couple of spots on my wall:( When I learn how to remove it I will let ya know...hehe. So, on with the tag! I stamped the umbrella man with distress embossing ink then covered it with distressed black soot. I kind of like how some of him is missing(poor guy). You can see all the stamps I used are from t!m....love his stamps:))) The little clip is from Basic Grey. I took some alcohol ink to color it....gives it a distressed look.
Well, thanks so much for peeking! Have a great weekend all!

that, this is fantastic blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.

I believe what you posted was actually very logical. But, what about this?
suppose you wrote a catchier post title? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a post title to maybe get folk's attention?
I mean "t!m's Tag for July!" is kinda plain. You ought
to glance at Yahoo's front page and note how they write article headlines to get people to open the links. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get people interested about what you've got to say.
Just my opinion, it could bring your website a little livelier.

Where is the error with this ohm's law calc?
Using EZ80 rectifier which uses a 6.3V filament transformer. But transformer puts out 7.8 volts. I want to reduce this to 6.3 volts. My understanding is EZ80 is rated at 0.6 amps. So...
7.8-6.3 volts = 1.5 volt drop / 0.6 amps = 2.5 ohm resistor value. I had a few 1.8 ohm resistors and soldered 1 each to each of two transformer secondary leads....and still measure 7.8 volts. Where is my error?

did you check that your tube's filament is drawing current?
the way it looks is your tube isnt drawing current. |

you could add two power diodes in series to drop about 1.3 to 1.4Vdc and same in reverse for the other halfwave. Not quite the same but maybe good enough. Comments to this non-tube guy! Yes, Hacknet is right, the resistors only drop voltage when they are carrying current. Open circuit voltage does not change (no matter how big the resistors are).

When you said you measured 7.8v after you added the resistors was the tube connected? If the tube wasn`t connected there would be no current draw thus no voltage drop. If this was the case it brings up another question. When you measured the transformer voltage was this with the tube connected? Transformers measure a little higher when they are not connected. With small transformers this open circuite voltage can easily be 20% or higher than when undrer load. |

Re: Where is the error with this ohm's law calc?
Did you measure at the transformer? You should indeed have 7.8V there. The 6.3 is at the tube pins.... Jan Didden

Ahhh...got it. As many of you suspected, I was testing without the board hooked up to the transformers. I was cautioned to measure the secondaries b4 hooking them up to the circuit to see if voltage was too high. I'm learning. I studied a schematic of the EZ80 and also followed the 6.3v trace and 0v trace to the tube pins. I measured the voltage at the pins: 7.4 without the resistors (down from 7.8v at the secondaries) and 5.4 with the 1.8 ohm resistors in the secondary path prior to the board's wire terminals.
This surprised me as I anticipated needing 2.5 ohm based upon my original calc of 7.8-6.3=1.5 / 0.6 amp = 2.5 ohm requirement. I had only 1.8 ohm resistors on hand. Now I'm down to 5.4 volts. This is more than 10% below the 6.3v requirement. So I conclude that the circuit is drawing a current different from the EZ80s rated current of 0.6 amp. I'm not yet entirely comfortable measuring current. I need to study how to do this.

measure the voltage drop across your dropping resistor. Your measurment accuracy is the worse of the DMM or the resistor accuracy. I=V/R

With the help from y'all, I feel like I've made some progress in learning how to measure voltage in a circuit. I replaced the 1.8 ohm dropper resistors with 1.2 ohm and I've increased voltage from 5.4 to 6.0v. The EZ80 rectifier tubes specs 6.3V for filament...so I think I'm within tolerance and OK.
The one disappointment is that the 6dj8 SRPP circuit of my Dac tube stage requires 200V for B+, and I was measuring 222V after a 6800 ohm resistor on the B+ in the stock circuit (and 283V before this resistor). I want to get closer to 200V. So: 283V-222V / 6800 ohm = 0.00897 A So 9000 ohm x 0.00897 A = 81V drop or 283-81=202 V Well, I couldn' find a 9K ohm R, only 7.5K Ohm at the local parts store. I thought this would give me: 7500 x 0.00897 A = 67V drop or 283-67=215V a step in the right direction. I measured 269V !!!! more than the 228V generated with the lower 6800 ohm resistor. Could the resistor's tolerance be that crappy or did I error somewhere?

I think in your curcuit, connecting the tube filament directly to the transformer winding is the best choice.
That 7.8V will drop a lot when you actually put yourself a load on it. At least try if for long enough to measure what voltage you get at the tube pins. Running a 6.3V tube a little bit hot for a moment won't hurt it. |

Ground Zero memorial designer Michael Arad is pushing to gain total control of the project's $350 million budget, as well as the power to personally hire construction and engineering firms, determine the treatment of the western slurry wall that was a feature of architect Daniel Libeskind's plan for the site, and make all long-term scheduling decisions, according to several sources close to the rebuilding effort.
The sources, who spoke to The Observer on the condition of anonymity, said that Mr. Arad's (and his attorneys') aggressive push has strained relations between the architect and authorities charged with rebuilding the 16-acre site.
But Mr. Arad told The Observer in a brief interview that he was only working to ensure that his original design for the memorial survives the famously tortuous political environment in which the new World Trade Center is taking shape.
As the lead architect on the World Trade Center memorial, Mr. Arad has final say over issues pertaining to the design of the project. But the ultimate authority for all non-design issues on the memorial lies with his client, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, the public-private agency charged with rebuilding lower Manhattan.
"Michael wants unlimited control, without any checks on his responsibilities," said a source close to the situation. "He does not believe that anybody, including the LMDC, should have any control over how the memorial gets built. He wants the LMDC to give him $350 million and then tell them, 'Come back in five years and see what I built.'"
While acknowledging that there had been some "difficulties" and "hiccups" along the way, Mr. Arad emphatically denied the allegation that he was trying to take near-absolute control over the memorial process. Instead, he suggested that others were misinterpreting his efforts to safeguard the integrity of his design.
"I have not been power-grabbing in any way," he said. "I'm trying to make sure that what I presented to the public is what gets built …. If people read other things into it, then that's unfortunate."
This dispute is coming to a head as Mr. Arad and the LMDC are negotiating the terms of a long-term contract that will codify Mr. Arad's responsibilities, pay and powers.
Sources close to the situation said Mr. Arad has been hinting that he might walk off the site if the LMDC does not cede to him the degree of authority he wants. In addition, two sources said that Mr. Arad implicitly threatened LMDC president Kevin Rampe by telling him that he might take his grievances to the public.
"I don't want to embarrass you by going public-that I'm losing influence over the design," two rebuilding officials remembered Mr. Arad telling Mr. Rampe.
Mr. Rampe declined to comment on the alleged threat and said of his dealings with Mr. Arad, "The LMDC is committed to ensuring that the design by Michael Arad and Peter Walker that was selected by the jury is achieved." Mr. Arad, after a brief interview with The Observer , did not return repeated requests for an additional interview.
The Big Break
When Mr. Arad won his career-making commission from the 13-member jury panel composed of artists, architects, politicians and Sept. 11 family members who chose him out of a pool of 5,201 applicants, many in the internecine-gossip network of New York architects posited that the 34-year-old had been chosen because his design could be railroaded into something that answered more political questions than ethical, emotional or architectural ones.
Indeed, the 16-acre lot where Mr. Arad is carving out a sphere of influence is perhaps the most emotionally scarred and politically charged patch of real estate in the country-no less so when Mr. Arad was chosen in January, more than two years after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.
At the time, Mr. Arad had a $50,000-a-year job as an assistant architect with the City Housing Authority, where he was helping to design a police station.
Mr. Arad's design, entitled Reflecting Absence , turns the footprints of the fallen Twin Towers into two sunken reflecting pools, fed by cascading streams of water. After becoming a finalist, and at the recommendation of the jury, Mr. Arad brought on a landscape architect, Peter Walker, to add trees and greenery to his barren concrete plaza.
Mr. Arad has said that he didn't mind sharing credit with Mr. Walker, but as one memorial jury member told The Observer , he didn't really have a choice.
"It's quite clear that Walker and Arad together make the design," said juror James Young, a professor of Judaic and Near Eastern Studies at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. "Neither by himself would have been chosen." (Mr. Young stressed that he did not observe in Mr. Arad any of the power-grabbing tendencies that are now being alleged.)
The Observer has learned, however, that even before Mr. Arad brought Mr. Walker on as a teammate, some members of Mr. Arad's original team were already upset with him for not sharing credit on his design.
During a frantic two-week period before the deadline for memorial submissions in June, Mr. Arad sought out the help of three of his architect friends to help him develop his original idea of two sunken reflecting pools. Two of those friends, Bruno Caballé and Lihi Gerstner, who are married, hosted the late-night working party at their place. Together, the three friends-along with a fourth, Manhattan architect Eric Howeler-worked out many of proposal's conceptual and technicalissues.
As the deadline neared, however, strains began to form in the group over creative differences on the design.
Ms. Gerstner said that she and Mr. Caballé disliked "the dryness of the direct environment around the pools." Nevertheless, they deferred to Mr. Arad as the leader of the group.
When Mr. Arad was selected as a finalist, however, and his design went up on display at the Winter Graden, there was no mention-in written form, or in the video that accompanied his display-of the help that he had received from any of his three friends.
Mr. Howeler said he didn't take offense at the omission, but it angered Mr. Caballé and Ms. Gerstner to the point that they said they are no longer speaking to Mr. Arad.
"I don't want to put Michael down," Mr. Caballé told The Observer from Paris. "I'm happy for him and, on the other hand, I don't want to hear from him.
"The thing that most offended me," Mr. Caballé continued, "was when I saw that he mentioned the people who wrote the This slideshow could not be started. Try refreshing the page or viewing it in another browser.

Eastwood Header Coating
I need to get a set of SBC hugger headers coated. Getting prices from $175.00 local to $140.00 mail order, but I saw where Eastwood is advertising one of their powder coatings called HOT POWDER SILVER HI TEMP rated to 1000 degrees. We have one of their powder coating kits and it works well. Does anyone have experience with this particular product?? I saw in Knowledge Base about www.techlinecoatings.com They claim to have a paint on product good to over 1000 degrees? Anyone used that product?? THANKS... THERESA

The coating from a company such as Jet-Hot or HPC is a thermal barrier coating that requires a lot of surface prep such as media blasting and chemical washing, special ovens and other very expensive tooling. It works in that the heat is not absorbed into the base metal but is shoved out by the exhaust. I very much doubt that a high temperature powder coating will do that in that it is not much more than a HT plastisized paint. I've used Jet-Hot primarily and have had excellant luck. HPC was used once only because I won a 'treatment' at an NSRA event. They both work as advertised though the HPC stuff darkened with age and the Jet-Hot always stayed bright and shiny. I do my intakes as well as it keeps gasoline drizzles from staining. Dave

Just for you comparison, the surface temp of headers can reach 1800 degrees if you're running a little lean and have your foot into it for a while. Heck, my stock manifolds on my stock LT1 glow red at night after a gentle highway run.
1000-degree paint won't hold up. |
this guy in Omaha does a header coating thats said to be A #1 Stuff.
http://fcrparts.com/ give him a call toll free on Central time between 10:30 am to 7:00 pm 1-877-215-1800 he is a nice guy (his name is Terry Fritsch) and easy to talk to, and he will take the time to talk to you plus he will awnser all your questions. he talked to me prob a Hour about his thermal coatings. " When it comes to thermal efficiency coatings, FCR uses the finest in the industry available! Our coating supplier also supplies the United States military, showing proof of quality available. All of our coatings are done in house including oil shedding coatings, anti friction, bearing, heat dissipating, and surface protectant coatings FCR offers the absolute finest in header coatings available and block heat transfer tremendously. After applying our coatings to headers, they are touchable to the bare hand within a couple of minutes after shut off on the dyno. The reason is simply because they never absorbed the heat and kept it in the inside of your headers bringing your power level up, and keeping your underhood temperatures much cooler than other header coatings." Mustangsaly |
Talked to Eastwood Tech service today and they explained how to apply this coating. Piece must be totally clean of rust, sand blasted, cleaned with Aectone and preheated to 450 degrees before product is applied.. WOW we are going to give it a try as we have a Eastwood powder coating equipment and done many sucessful parts... THERESA
Good luck - hope it works for you - my history w/Eastwood outside of any name brand stuff has been much less than good - an opinion, IMHO, is shared by many here.

Bill Hirsch Engine and Exhaust paint?
Over 20 years ago I sandblasted and then brush painted some headers with "Bill Hirsch Auto Parts Co, (Newark New Jersey) Stainless Steel high temperature paint (1200*)".
The car did not get driven much, the paint developed an ugly grey color, but the headers did not rust. |

Democratic 2012 Platform Calls for Reinstating Federal Assault Weapons BanA week after Republicans adopted the "strongest pro-gun rights platform" in GOP history, Democrats endorsed a 2012 party platform that calls for enacting "commonsense improvements" such as reinstating the assault weapons ban, closing the gun show "loophole" and strengthening the background check system.
Delegates at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., approved the 70-page 2012 party platform on Sept. 4. It addresses the Second Amendment and gun ownership on page 53, stating the party's focus is "on effective enforcement of existing laws" with an emphasis on enacting "commonsense improvements -- like reinstating the assault weapons ban and closing the gun show loophole." The Republican 2012 party platform adopted on Aug. 28 by GOP Convention delegates in Tampa endorses national concealed carry reciprocity, gun owner privacy and stand your ground rights while opposing reinstatement of the assault weapons ban and restrictions on magazine capacities. http://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/gun-shots/2012/09/democratic-2012-platform-calls-reinstating-federal-assault-weapons-ban

A Broad Platform I thought the phrase should have been left out of our platform. I think a platform should be broad enough to attract as many voters as possible - to be inclusive rather than exclusive. this is just my opinion on how a platform should be constructed - obviously the republicans (to my mind) went Way Too Far in the other direction. There was no need for all that. A simple concise sentence should be all that is needed, imo. |

4. Not "reinstate" but enact a new, tough AWB.
In 2003 the so-called renewal legislation was numbered H.R. 2038, had 111 cosponsors, and died in committee. Rep. Mark Kirk reintroduced it in 2008 as HR 6257 where it died with only four cosponsors. It appears that all of congress ran away from the bill.
Text of bill here:http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/110/hr6257/text This AWB is not the old AWB, this one has teeth. and covers many more guns. In fact, the language can be construed to cover just about all guns. |

I support the Democratic 2012 platform as quoted -
"We recognize that the individual right to bear arms is an important part of the American tradition, and we will preserve Americans Second Amendment right to own and use firearms. We believe that the right to own firearms is subject to reasonable regulation. We understand the terrible consequences of gun violence; it serves as a reminder that life is fragile, and our time here is limited and precious. We believe in an honest, open national conversation about firearms. We can focus on effective enforcement of existing laws, especially strengthening our background check system, and we can work together to enact commonsense improvements like reinstating the assault weapons ban and closing the gun show loophole so that guns do not fall into the hands of those irresponsible, law-breaking few." |

I also like the Party Platform for the most part except the call for a permanent renewal of the AWB which will do nothing to reduce crime, and drive Independent voters, who might have otherwise voted D, to either sit out the election or vote R. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. (Hint: 1994.) |

12. I support the "well-regulated" interpretation of the 2nd amendment
not the "robust" interpretation of the 2nd amendment that is promoted by the NRA.
The story that Democrats lost congress in 1994 as a result of the Assault Weapons Ban is a myth promoted by the NRA. The notion that gun control was responsible for the Democrats debacle 15 years ago was floated by Richard Gephardt, the former Democratic House leader, and other pols and commentators after the 94 election. But it was Bill Clinton who gave it current credence. The N.R.A. could rightly claim to have made Gingrich the House speaker, Mr. Clinton wrote in his 2004 autobiography, pumping up the gun lobby and, not incidentally, himself by attributing the body blow to his party to his principled leadership on guns.
It is hard to make a case that the assault weapons ban was decisive in 1994. The law certainly enraged many N.R.A. members and might explain the loss of certain Democratic seats. However, there were other major factors in the Democrats 1994 loss, starting with perceived Democratic arrogance and corruption (overdrafts at the House bank came to symbolize that). Add to that voter unhappiness with Mr. Clintons budget, his health care fiasco, the Republican Partys success in recruiting appealing candidates, and that ingenious Republican vehicle for nationalizing the elections known as the Contract With America. The contract, by the way, did not mention guns. Mr. Clintons successful 1996 re-election campaign actually stressed his gun control achievements. James and Sarah Brady spoke in prime time at the 96 Democratic convention, and Clinton campaign ads trumpeted his role in enacting the assault weapons ban and the 93 Brady law requiring background checks for gun buyers. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/09/opinion/09sat4.html?_r=1 |

Organized in 1979, the Section coordinates educational programs and literature for California's diverse real estate attorneys, and serves as a forum for communicating information to its members on current developments and trends in real property law.
Membership in the Section not only gives members up-to-date access to this information, but also provides them with an opportunity to network and develop relationships with other lawyers and professionals in the real estate industry, and to play a significant role in the development of policies and legislation affecting California real estate.
The Section is an approved California MCLE provider, and offers educational opportunities for real estate lawyers throughout the year, such as the annual Real Property Retreat and the Section's participation in the State Bar's Annual Meeting.
For information about recent and pending legislation, see Search for Legislation on the State Bar's Office of Governmental Affair's Web site.

In this article, I am trying to focus on View States. We use View States to persist state across postbacks. I want to show how we can retrieve an href value through postback and the language I am using is C#. To be able to set the URL that a user is taken to programmatically, you need to be able to access the anchor tag that is defined in the control's markup. To do this, you need to give it an id (I set the id to VerticalLink) and a runat=server attribute. Alternatively, you could change the simple <a> tag to its server-side counterpart: the <asp:HyperLink>.
In this sample that I am trying to explain, I used a user control (named banner1) that contains an image which has an anchor tag and its href property is set to www.negardata.com. I used this user control in a webpage like default.aspx but in the code behind of this page in the load_page event, I set the NavigateUrl property of the banner1 to another value like http://www.codeproject.com.
The code in the code behind of default.aspx is this:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (!Page.IsPostBack) { banner1.NavigateUrl = "http://www.codeproject.com"; }
The first time a user loads default.aspx, the url for the banner1 would be http://www.codeproject.com but imagine the user clicks a button that causes a postback, what will happen?
The Url that I set in page_load event in the default.aspx will be lost and it will show the url that has been set in the href attribute of the user control page.
Now comes the view state.
To be able to programmatically set the NavigateUrl property that I add to the banner1 and to ensure this property survives post backs, I need to implement a View State property.
On the code behind of my user control which is banner1, I have this code that I will explain in more detail later on.
public string NavigateUrl { get { object _navigateUrl = ViewState["NavigateUrl"]; if (_navigateUrl != null) { return (string)_navigateUrl; } else { return "http://negardata.com"; // Return a default value } } set { ViewState["NavigateUrl"] = value; } } protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { VerticalLink.HRef = NavigateUrl; }
Now let's see what's happening in the code.
In this code:
set { ViewState["NavigateUrl"] = value; }
When I assign a value to the NavigateUrl property, its value is stored in the ViewState collection.When I assign a value to a View State property, it is stored in the page, in the hidden __VIEWSTATE field. It means it gets sent to the browser when the page loads and it is sent back to the server when the page is posted back again.
When the postback occurs, the code in page_load in the user control fires again.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { VerticalLink.HRef = NavigateUrl; }
The value for NavigateUrl is returned by the getter of the property:
get { object _navigateUrl = ViewState["NavigateUrl"]; if (_navigateUrl != null) { return (string)_navigateUrl; } else { return "http://negardata.com"; // Return a default value } }
This code first tries to get the value from View State using ViewState["NavigateUrl"], If the value that is returned is Nothing or null, the getter returns the default value for the property: http://www.negardata.com.
However, if the value is not Nothing, it is cast to a string and eventually returned to the calling code. At the end, the NavigateUrl returned from the View State property is assigned to the HRef property of the anchor tag again, which is then used as the URL users are taken to when they click the image.
