I've tried this recipe for a cone 10 reduction turquoise matte (I found it online):
Neph Sy 50
Strontium Carb 38
Silica 6
Copper Carb 3
I know it's low on silica.
I quite like the colour, turquoise where thin and almost black and matte where thick, and the nice, dryish frosty surface. In my little line blend of adding the copper 1% at a time, the 1% tile reduced to a matte pinkish tone, the 2% tile partly reduced, and the best turquoise was at 3%. I was thinking I could add 0.5% to 1% more copper to see if it improves more.
My problem is that it crazes on my clay bodies (plainsman P700 and SPS Kutani).
The problem is visual since I am not going to use this in contact with food.
I was thinking of fixing this in three different ways:
0. adding silica until it's within the acceptable limit, and risk making it shinier or somehow changing the nice colour response
1. adding (5%?) zircopax (this also adds silica)
2. substituting spodumene for some of the neph sy, to replace some (definitely not all!) of the KNa with Li.
My direct question is how to do (2), would a mole of Li for each missing mole of KNa work?
And the more general question is which of these approaches would seem more promising.
PS for (2) I thought of matching the flux mole for mole, then balancing out the remaining alumina with clay and finally balancing out the remaining silica.

I adjusted a glaze that was crazing with very little silica...like 0.2% Do a few tests. It doesn't take much to tweak a glaze.

He reminds me a lot of Cordarrelle Patterson
If he commits, does Leslie still stick? Thought I read Leslie wanted to be "the guy"
The World confirmed Sunday night that the Sooners have parted ways with Gardner, the 6-3, 224-pounder who could catch 1,000 yards worth of passes, run the 100 meters in 10.67 seconds and win a couple state long jump championships. The problem is a familiar one when it comes to Gardner.
Gardner is a big-bodied wide receiver at 6'3 and 215 pounds, while also having outstanding speed running a reported 4.37 40-yard dash. Simply put, he is a physical specimen. Originally from Louisiana, Gardner moved to Reno, Nevada where he went on to play football at Hug High School. He was a multiple sport athlete who dominated in track as a long jumper, winning the 4A-state meet with a 23'5.5" mark. He's now at Sierra Community College in Rocklin, California

Took delivery of a new fresh-from-Japan 2013 sedan last Saturday, and I couldn't be more excited. This will probably be more of a journal than a build, as I'm not in any hurry to void my warranty or diminish it's resale value. I know a lot of people say that... and I know it's going to be hard. I've owned an STS-class 94 Civic while in college, and traded in an unmolested 03 Toyota Matrix XRS on the WRX. I've never bought a car with less than 82k on the ODO, so this feels... fresh.
A little background on the process and timing, hopefully I can help dialogue with any prospective buyers and help out with the process and negotiation:
Car: 2013 Base WRX Sedan in SWP
Options: Trunk spoiler, all-weather mats, cargo tray
Cost: $25,700 + TT&L
Dealer: Sewell Subaru, Dallas
VON Date: 10/26/12
Delivery: 12/8/12
Big thanks to Sewell for expediting my order once it hit US soil, I think it took less than 48 hours to get to the dealership once the ship hit port. So far they've been a great dealership to deal with, extremely professional, courteous, and helpful. Looking forward to seeing if their service holds up to their reputation!
The car arrived with 8 miles on the ODO, I put 3 on it driving with the salesman, and probably another 7-10 driving home. After that I ran through a hybrid Motoman break-in using Amsoil break in oil and fresh filters. I definitely didn't beat "drive it like I stole it," but I wanted to make sure the rings seated and matched well in hopes that I won't have oil consumption issues later. Ran through about 20 miles of non-WOT, low-boost pulls in 3rd and 4th gears with engine breaking and cool down periods. When I changed the oil after the break in, I did notice some sparkle to it. From here to my first "real" oil change I'll be following the manufacturers break in reco with <4k, no WOT, no highway cruising. Thinking about hitting that first oil change somewhere between 700-1000 miles.
Going to need to hit the break in mark before I travel for Christmas, which shouldn't be a problem.
So fire away with any comments, questions, or suggestions! My only firm plans so far are to have the car tinted, install a STS/bushings, paint the headlight housings, and possibly replace the HU.

I think it's discouraging to know that we put a rather heavy workload on a guy who's been injured his entire career, whether he's performing or not.
To be honest, It doesn't matter to me, because we won. So I'll root for anyone who's attributing to our success!

Hello knowledgeable treatment free beekeeps
I have been doing pretty well going treatment free and am so happy to have 4 very strong colonies as I head into winter here in Southern Maine. As it has been so unusually warm here (50 degrees plus weather) I continue to go out to the hives and check them. 3 of the 4 hives feel a bit lite on stores to me. I did give them some sugar syrup a couple of weeks ago. 2 of the hives took it. I think these hives are actually getting lighter. Is it possible they are using more of their winter stores as they are still out and about in this weirdly warm climate? So my dilemma is how to feed or what to feed. I do have honey supers I have not yet extracted but these are mediums and shallows. I do not have deep frames to introduce into the actual hives body's.
Any and all suggestions appreciated. Would you feed in November and what would you feed in November?

Reviews of this property
Very nice place , we got everything we need, very helpful and kind householder .
The nearest tram stop - about 300m .
Alessandro is very friendly, gave us all kind of info and very good tips!. Our room (triple) was big and very comfortable!. The place is very easy to reach with the public transportation. Breakfast included, prepared already early in the morning. Clean. We spent very good time in Rome!
Very good place to sleep to visit Rome :-) all is very clean and the bed is very confortable ;-) thanks for all
Alessandro is a very good host. It was very nice to meet him. He was very helpful as we stayed in his apartment and even answered quickly my questions before arriving in Rome.
His apartment is exactly as it is shown in this website. As we were there everything was nice and clean.
The breakfast was really a plus and it was also good to have wifi.
Very cosy stay! I would definitely stay in Alessandro's place again...
Excellent Host! Everything was very clean. The mattress is very confortable, the sheets are new and soft, also a new and beautiful conforter. Enough towels. The bathroom smell good (not sure if was a cinammon scent or lavanda), very spacious, enough hot water for 3 people (this is important!!). No shampoo but we had our own. The room has heating, closet to store the clothe, and flat tv with many channels. You can hear cars passing the street but nothing that bothers.
it is located in a residential neighborhood, very close to a train station (Quattro Venti). The building has lift, and 2 glass doors in the entrance what makes it very safe. I was with my 2 daughters of 10 and 13 years old and never felt threatened walking down the street.
Alessandro is a very nit person, very helpful and kind. He cares for the guests (bought small cakes with no gluten), helped us calling the taxi to leave at 3:30 in the morning, provided maps, etc
Thank you Alessandro for everything, specially for the Nutella!!!
The apartment is very well located (8 to Pl Venezzia tram and train station next door) and in a quiet neighborhood (although quite hear car noise). The room for three is perfect and very spacious, great bathroom with towels and a hair dryer, and very complete breakfast. Very good reception and recommendations by Alessandro. I recommend 100%!
El apartamento está muy bien situado (tram 8 hasta Pl. Venezzia y estación de tren al lado) y en un barrio tranquilo (aunque se oye bastante el ruido de coches).

Healthy Hardwick Bolsters Chargers Offensive Line
There has been much made about the Chargers uncertainty at the right and left offensive tackle spots, and for good reason. But lost in that conversation is the realization that getting Pro Bowl center Nick Hardwick back should be a real boon to the offensive line as a whole.
Hardwick missed most of right guard Louis Vasquez's rookie year, so it's important for he and Kris Dielman to continue to work together as a unit and build a strong working relationship. Early results on that work have been encouraging, and it seems that the Chargers interior line could prove to be one of the team's strengths.
"We're out here working really hard everyday, working on our individual techniques, working on our combo blocks, and things are really coming together," Hardwick told BOLTHYPE. "Obviously it's only the fifth day of camp so we have some ways to go and some improving to do, but we're looking forward to do that."
Second-year offensive lineman Louis Vasquez showed real flashes of dominance last season, and he has the tools to get even better. Coming from a spread offense at Texas Tech, there were some questions about Vasquez's ability to run block. But as the season went on he continued to improve and impressed his teammates in the process.
"He's a tough kid, he works hard. He's a big strong guy, tough, nasty dude and I'm pumped to play next to him," Hardwick said of Vasquez. "I've got the two best protectors next to me [Dielman and Vasquez] in the league."
Kris Dielmen and Nick Hardwick are both established, veteran players who have made it to the Pro Bowl. But Vasquez isn't too far off himself. As long as he continues to work and improve, he'll be a dominant player in this league. He's got incredible power and is a pretty good athlete. As he grows more and more comfortable out there, we could see him involved more on stunts and pulls. And having Nick Hardwick there playing next to him will only help Vasquez mature that much faster.
"Getting Nick back helps us a lot," Vasquez told us. "Nick is unbelievably smart. He sees things that even Dielman doesn't see. Anytime I have a question about what's going on in a certain situation, Nick is always ready with the answer. He's incredibly smart and whenever we need a guy to rely on, he's the man to go to."
Watching the trio of Hardwick, Dielman, and Vasquez work in practice, it became clear to me that these three guys are poised to have a strong year. The Chargers drafted Ryan Mathews to help them in the run game, and his style suits the interior linemen perfectly. Look for lots of inside runs and a return to power, smash-mouth football from the Chargers.
"We'll definitely be doing more inside runs this year," says Louis Vasquez. "Ryan is unbelievably fast. He makes some smart decisions. He still has some things to learn as a rookie, but he's going to be a great addition to our running game."

From cult hit to unstoppable zombie brand, The Walking Dead has become 'must-scream-TV'.
In the first five minutes of the third-season premiere of The Walking Dead, former sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes and his battered and beaten band of zombie apocalypse survivors remain completely speechless. It's a hauntingly stark opening for the popular TV undead drama.
"We meet them after eight months," said Andrew Lincoln, the actor who portrays Rick, sitting alongside Sarah Wayne Callies, who plays Rick's feisty wife, Lori. "There's a huge rift between Rick and Lori. They're more desperate than they've ever been, so much so that in the teaser, no one says a word, and everything is kind of sad."
Everything hasn't been sad for the cast and crew of The Walking Dead, which has risen from surprising cult hit to unstoppable zombie brand. The Walking Dead, which is based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman, has transformed into a full-fledged franchise featuring a horde of video games, costumes, toys, books and theme park attractions.
With just a pair of eight-episode seasons, The Walking Dead series amassed a huge following, becoming must-scream-TV. The show's second-season finale got nine million viewers in the US.
The third season, which premieres tonight, finds the survivors coming across the too-good-to-be-true town of Woodbury, a zombie-free enclave that's led by a cutthroat character dubbed the Governor. British actor David Morrissey, who was cast as the iconic villain, is downplaying the Governor's ruthlessness.
"I think, creatively, you'd hit a ceiling quickly if you did that in the TV show," said Morrissey. "You have to give him complexity. You have to give him a sense of motivation and why he's doing these things."
The action in this season's first two episodes is focused squarely on the prison glimpsed at the end of last season, which the survivors hope to make their new secure home.
The makers of The Walking Dead are also pushing their realistic take on the zombie apocalypse into other avenues: an episodic game from Telltale Games; a first-person shooter game due from Activision; and mazes at Universal Studios in California and Florida.
How much The Walking Dead is too much?
"I turned down the perfume," joked Kirkman. "I look at it like, 'If it's cool, that's fine."'

What: The Walking Dead season three

Many people say that Edo-Madara is overpowered and Kishi went too far, but let's face the arguments, he was the strongest Uhicha world ever known. We all know about Hashirama and Madara's fight over the valey of the end, but we do not know how EPIC that battle was. (Moreover we may discover more on that historical event since Madara is staying) And as a consequence of Kabuto's cautionless usage of Edo Jutsu, the risk of having summoned being immortal and with limitless chakra and uncontrolled mind if he breaks out is a equivalent risk according to the Forbidden Jutsu of the Ressurection. I think there is nothing wrong about that.
As a result Madara is immortal, so that's the risk of using edo tensei. if u summon someone stronger than u and who know the seal he can be here forever
For me it's just mind-blowing turning out. This maybe even better ressurection than Tobi wanted to do with the rinnegan.
I would like to see Sasuke arriving in front of Kages and deciding to face Madara, it would be Epic to see these two fighting , but unless Sasuke got some new techs from Itatchi, he does not have any chances agains Madara.

Sasuke arriving and beating Madara when the Kages couldn't would give me the biggest headache since the time I got hit in the head with a wooden sword at full swing. The problem is that I can already feel that headache coming.

I'm sorry, but this Madara stuff is groan-worthy. The DBZ power levels were ridiculous enough, and he's been acting like a carbon copy of your average DBZ villian character-wise, but getting out of Edo-cancellation itself? This fight just seems to be "Stand in despair. You don't stand a chance. I'm so powerful and come out with a new hax ability each chapter, and this will drag on for 10 more chapters." EMS wasn't powerful enough? No, he has to have a Rinnegan, which makes Pain worthless now, wood element jutsu, a PERFECT Susanoo because the regular one which can guard against anything and the user doesn't even need to move wasn't powerful enough, and he also has more knowledge of edo tensei than anyone in the series it looks like, and he originally had nothing to do with it. Once again, Madara with EMS really wouldn't have been enough to take on the kages?

@Ero-Senn1n: Good point
But there is one more thing, as we know Itachi left Kabuto trapped in a loop with Sasuke around so he can use his MS to learn some jutsus But this scenario is not likely to happen as I suppose.

I actually really enjoyed this chapter We have a fond farewell from Itachi and that priceless, stunned look on Sasuke's face when Itachi goes back to the spirit world; Tsunade's little talk with Dan, which, if she DIDN'T get to see him before he evaporated, I would have been pissed; and edo Madara pwns the world. I like edo Madara. I'm happy he's sticking around... Does that make me a bad person? T-T

I can't take Madara that seriously since I know he's not going to kill anyone except maybe Onoki because he's old. So Madara's super bad ass FV tier that pulls out hax every week but never accomplishes anything.

Totally not. He's literally stuck to his current body. That's it - no evolution, no progress. Frozen in time, in zombie mode.
There is a possibility that he can learn new jutsus, but that's it.
And it definitely would be a problem for someone of his level. Of course, that would allow him to turn the tides of the battle and win it, but I can imagine that it's not the desirable outcome in the long-run, and that can be one of the reasons why he didn't want to use it.

Storyline-wise, I am not sure why Kishi wants Madara around. If he wanted some of the Kages to die defeating him, then he could of done that chapters ago so we could move on. This tells me he wants Madara to be a boss fight for Sasuke. I guess whatever scroll of Orochimaru's Sasuke gets from water boy could be the key to defeating Madara.
How long have the Konoha 11 been running? Thank god for the anime and Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth or we would never see them. I thought their growth was suppose to be a big part of the war?

World's Oldest Working Computer Comes Back to Life

Sender E-mail
(Source: dailymail.co.uk)
The Witch is being unveiled at a ceremony at the National Museum of Computing today
The world's oldest original
working digital computers
has been restored and brought back to life in a UK museum.
The computer, called the Witch (short for Wolverhampton Instrument for Teaching Computation from Harwell), is from the 1950s and was used to replace adding machines.
The Witch was first designed and and built in 1949 to help the UK's Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell in Oxfordshire with calculations. In 1951, the 2.5 tonne computer was ran for the first time. However, at that point, the Witch was called the Harwell Dekatron.
The Harwell Dekatron took up to about 10 seconds to multiply two numbers, and was used about 80 hours per week. But in 1957, smaller and faster computers hit the scene, and the Harwell Dekatron was moved to the Wolverhampton and Staffordshire Technical College to teach programming. This is where it acquired its new name, the Witch.
Later, in 1973, it was donated to Birmingham's Museum of Science and Industry, where it was displayed until 1997 when the museum closed. From there, the Witch was taken apart and stored.
The Witch had been forgotten until a trustee from The National Museum of Computing, named Kevin Murrell, noticed the Witch's control panel in a photograph brought in by another computer conservationist. He recognized the parts after having seen the Witch many times as a teenager.
This led to the restoration effort for the Witch, where it's piece were found in storage and reassembled. After cleaning it up and replacing a few parts, the Witch is alive again. About 480 relays and 828 Dekatron tubes are all original on the computer, making the Witch nearly completely original to its former 1950s self.
The Witch is being unveiled at a ceremony at the National Museum of Computing today.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jackie from Wanted to love Sorry William & Sonoma, I'm dissatisfied with this product. I bought this with a gift card after Christmas, I've used it exactly 3 times. It's not non stick. Each time I've had to hassle for days trying to clean it. I'd love to hear any tips on cleaning and using this tin because I'd love to buy more if I can figure this out. Two stars for cooking evenly, thats all I can give.Date published: 2017-03-09Rated 5 out of 5 by Lanceroman from Great product Great pan, easy to clean, need to buy another one it is a great product.Date published: 2017-02-03Rated 5 out of 5 by BlueAsp from LOVE THIS BAKEWARE I have purchased several Goldtouch bakeware items as gifts and for personal use and love the end result. I use Wilton's Bake Easy Non-Stick Spray which is the best non stick spray available. These pans are heavy and very well made. They make baking a joy.Date published: 2016-10-15Rated 5 out of 5 by fugitivewife from Best muffin pan ever Love this, the muffins just fell out of the pan and it was so easy to clean.Date published: 2016-09-08Rated 1 out of 5 by CarolinaBaker from Non Stick Coating Peeled Right Off! I have other Goldtouch products and think they are wonderful, however, the first time using the Nonstick Muffin Pan the gold nonstick coating peeled off in the dishwasher. I usually wash them by hand but was in a hurry and put them in the dishwasher with confidence as they are dishwasher safe. I can only assume my two new muffin pans are defective as I also washed a new Goldtouch loaf pan at the same time with no problem. I will be returning these and hopefully will have better luck with their replacements.Date published: 2016-02-23Rated 5 out of 5 by brookfieldmom from Goldtouch - the best Haven't used yet, but if it performs as well as my other Goldtouch items, I'm sure I'll love it as well.Date published: 2015-09-23Rated 3 out of 5 by MuffinBaker from Definitely Not Non-stick! The pan worked fairly well for the first dozen times cooking egg frittatas. I always greased it lightly with olive oil. Gradually food started to stick, getting worse with every use. Now the muffin pan is absolutely not non-stick. It does however clean up easier than regular muffin tins but only after you leave it to soak. The pan was never scratched. Took great care to wipe clean without any abrasives with only a damp paper towel. Always used a rubber spatula to remove items so no idea why the pan started to stick so badly. If you do go ahead and purchase, understand that it'll be easy to use approx 12+ times and then it'll start to stick. If someone figures out how to extend the non-stick quality, please do share!Date published: 2015-09-20Rated 5 out of 5 by salsamama from NO MORE NEED FOR PAPER CUPS Was pleased to find out that I don't need to purchase anymore cupcake papers. That will be a savings.Date published: 2015-06-24

I thought up a couple of ugly Ferrari's. Can anyone remember an UGLY Lamborghini?
Lamborghinis have always been ugly. But in a good way. IMO they are a styling disaster but they are so ugly, they actually look good.If that makes any sense....
=================================No, Brian, it's a foreign car, the "T" is silent. Sweet, I'm getting an Audi!
I might be the only one but this version Countach looks like it was already in the car crusher:This however is sexy:
_______________Your choices are white and of course black___________________
I often thought the Jalpa was not very attractive.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Jalpa
I did like the Jarama!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Jarama
You have it twisted Lex. The early Countachs were so much better looking. It was a clean design but then by the 80s they covered it in Pontiac style body cladding.There have been a few less than beautiful Lambos in the past, but they were the little known models.350GT400GTEspadaJalapaJarama
Always loved the Islero.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Islero
The Espada and Jarama (who pimped my Chevy Citation) are both pretty ugly.
The Espada looks like a Ford Torino's crack baby.
I was trying to think of what the ugly F the Espada looked like but couldn't. Thanks, Nd4spd.
You mean there are good looking Lamborghinis? The only one I really think looks good is the Miura.
Man, when I was in middle school back in the 80s, I used to be naive enough to think that everyone in Italy drove either a Ferrari or Lambo.
I guess Lambo is a little on the "ricey" or "pasta-y" side relative to its Italian rival Ferrari huh? The styling is more bold, yet it can be construed as gaudy and "kit carish" looking.
Gods, the Espada....Haha.I really like the Reventon and uh....Can't remember the name of the badass SUV they made though. =[

Meet Elizabeth Snively: Hatching solutions at Chick-fil-A
Elizabeth Snively (B.F.A., interior design, 2010) learned a lot as a SCAD student. Now as a professional, she's learning even more about her alma mater.
"As a student you have demands that are higher on you than any university I've heard of," Snively said. " Because we worked really hard at SCAD, I can apply time management, self motivation and the drive for perfection in a way that's surprising and delighting my superiors."
Those superiors are top executives at Chick-fil-A, where Snively is on the team responsible for innovation and designing the restaurant of the future.
Midway through her senior year at SCAD Atlanta, she realized that perhaps traditional interior design wasn't in the cards.
"I was more holistic in my thinking. How does the environment affect the way people think?" Snively said.
Thanks to SCAD, she got the chance to apply her way of thinking when Chick-fil-A partnered with SCAD to develop a corporate center that would become an incubator where staff and partners bring new ideas to life. Snively was one of the students selected to participate in the project and the resulting innovation and design house was named Hatch.
When the Chick-fil-A design team was started, around the time Snively graduated, she was one of the first hires.
"SCAD connected those dots for me to step [out of the classroom and right] into my career," she said.
Snively knows the value of a SCAD education, and is now in a position to hire a new class of innovators.
"I now employ SCAD grads. We find them to be at a higher caliber and level in knowledge and confidence," she said.
In the rapidly evolving quick-service dining market, Snively said, corporations receive customer feedback faster and in greater quantities than ever before and must act quickly because the public expects results.
"Designers must transform that feedback into new ideas and new competencies for customers," she said. It's design and innovation that gives such companies as P&G and DuPont longevity.
Snively cites Blockbuster as one corporation that didn't survive because it failed to see its future was not in bricks-and-mortar stores. "They weren't willing to take their heads out of the sand."
Chick-fil-A and SCAD continue to partner on projects and the experiences, seen now from the opposite side of the table, give Snively a deeper appreciation for the university's focus on career preparation.
There are lots of design needs in the business world and SCAD prepares its students to work across disciplines and markets.

Central Missouri Honor Flight disregards the government shutdown
25th Central Missouri Honor Flight plans to move barricades to get into memorials
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A day after demonstrators grabbed barricades and stacked them in front of the White House to fight the stalemate in Washington D.C., a group of Mid-Missouri veterans is preparing to join the action.
On Tuesday, the 25th Central Missouri Honor Flight is taking off from Columbia at 2 a.m. and not returning until late in the night.
Honor Flight leaders told ABC 17 News even though sites are technically closed because of the government shutdown, that will not stop them.
They said there will be 70 World War II and Korean War veterans on the flight. Leaders said it's going to take more than just fences to keep them from seeing monuments and memorials dedicated to their service.
Other Honor Flights have been able to physically move the barricades to get veterans into the closed memorials and the 70 Mid-Missourians said they are going to follow in that path.
"I've told our veterans, 'You guys took the beaches in the South Pacific and the cliffs at Normandy, and a few bike racks and some police tape probably aren't going to stop you,'" Central Missouri Honor Flight President Mary Paulsell said.
Paulsell said they will physically move the barricades to let the veterans in if they have to. She said other honor flights told her the since the memorials were closed to the public, they aren't as crowded as they've normally been.
Paulsell said one of the many things she's learned from her time with the Honor Flight is to adapt to what you're given. She said the barricades are such a small part in the lives of the veterans, it shouldn't be that big of a deal.
"What we're honoring here are these achievements, this history, this contribution and commitment, this nation is so greater than anything that some politicians in Washington can create," Paulsell said.
Paulsell said most of what she's hearing from the veterans is they don't really care about about the barricades. She said they're looking forward to being with one another and replacing some bad memories with good ones from this trip.
There's one more Central Missouri Honor Flight scheduled for this year in November. Officials said they'll start back up again during the spring.

I've basically missed the entire year so I'm admittedly a little lost in what this team will be targeting come draft time....So fill me in in what we need and whose underperformed
LT/RT- is Beatty the answer or do we target one early/ is Kareem finnally showing signs of slowing down?
MLB- Goff's status is up in the air (Injury/contract), is Jones the answer or do we target Kuechly?
Secondary- We have the 29th ranked pass defense plus TT and Ross will be FA's....Corner appears to be a likely early target.
Anything else?


text: I came across this today: http://autos.aol.com/gallery/top-10-off-road-suvs . I love when they make reports like this. It always leads to a bunch of extra cash in my pocket this winter as the folks with their stock explorers try to run with the big boys at the local mud pit. I just sit there with my tow strap and wait. When the snow flies will be another chance to make some extra cash. It never fails that some moron in his land rover attempts to jump a snowbank, goes thru it rather then over and has to open the back hatch to get out because the snow bank they punched thru is tight around the sides of his SUV.

Where I stayed
Mystic Hide Away Cabin
Well, which is a deep subject. We had made
Reservations to go back to Lake Guntersville
State Park Resort for our Valentine Gifts to
each other but we knew snow was on it's way
and the roads would be closed down. So, we
cancelled our reservations. Thought about
going to Mentone and stay at Little Cupid On
the Brow Cabin, again, but we did not have
two nights to take. I found Over-Night cabins
at Mentone
I found this beautiful little cabin.
We did not know they had them. We left out
the next Thursday. We ended up having the best
time. On the same road where the cabin is was
alot of rock formations. We always walk, if we can.
The sun was out, so off we went. Our jackets
kept us warm . We had brought things for a
Lobster Dinner that night so we had plenty of
time to explore. We went back and fixed dinner
after our walk. Hubby did a great job cooking
the Lobster ...so good, too! Of course, we had
Valentines and the Valentines Chocolates he
bought for me ...Yummm! Next we played quite
a few hands of Gin Rummy...YES!!!! I did get
beat, again, but not too bad... only by 3 hands.
Then, out to the hot tub. It was about 26 degrees
but the water was so warm...the sky was absolutely
clear and beautiful. The moon was almost full and
the stars were shinning so brightly. We, also,
heard the train. Watched three movies I brought
with us. The fire in the fireplace was so pretty.
Again, what a great time we had! Thank you, Father
for such a wonderful refreshing Valentine gift you
gave to us !!!!!

a White RB?????
No one remembers who came in second.
2 words..Re Peat
I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
Did Ojomo get any snaps last week?
Spin that Webb young Davis
I like Martinek, was high on him being undrafted and all. I think he can be an effective player. Put him at RB, FB, TE depending on the play. Hes a huge guy who can run, and a versatile blocker for pulling, etc. I think his biggest asset is as a larger RB though, he could protect well assuming he knows the assignments and is extremely fast for his size.
I think he may be playing Vernon Davis for the week, to be honest. Think he gets waived next week and Marshall comes back.

Prevent break-ins by upgrading and strengthening your deadbolt and lockset. Learn how to install a Grade 1 deadbolt, how to install a four-screw strike plate box, and how to beef up the lockset strike plate to protect your home.
I never realized how easy it is to kick in a solid door that has old hardware until I tried it on our demonstration door. With two kicks in only five seconds, I destroyed the doorjamb and was in the house.
You need to upgrade the deadbolt and lockset plates of your exterior doors if you haven't already done so. FBI burglary statistics show that 65 percent of break-ins occur by forcing in the front, back or garage service door (not to mention the 12 percent of entries where burglars find your "hidden" key or simply walk in through an unlocked door).
In this story, we'll show you how to strengthen your exterior doors in three ways. We'll replace an old deadbolt with a quality Grade 1 deadbolt. Then, we'll replace the deadbolt strike plate with a four-screw strike box and faceplate—attached with 3-in. wood screws that reach the wall frame. Finally, we'll replace the lip strike plate and its wimpy 3/4-in. screws with 3-in. wood screws. We'll also show you a handy method to turn a small deadbolt hole into a larger hole.
The techniques we show in this article will work on any type of exterior door. But keep in mind that these techniques may not be as effective if you have glass sidelight windows or large glass panels in your doors.
For this project, you need only basic carpentry tools, as well as a 2-1/8 in. hole saw bit and a 1-in. spade bit (check the deadbolt packaging for the exact bit size required). Home centers usually carry deadbolt installation kits with the right size bits.
A secure entry starts with a solid door and a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt with a solid 1-in. long throw bolt (see "Buying a Deadbolt"). Any exterior door that only has a lock in the doorknob isn't secure. A sturdy screwdriver or small pry bar can quickly bow the doorjamb enough to release the latch.
Check your existing deadbolt. First, make sure the screws are tight. Open the door and extend the throw bolt. If it extends less than 1 in., or if it's wobbly, a new deadbolt will be more secure.
Next, check the doorjamb and both strike plates. Remove the screws from the deadbolt and lockset strike plates on the door frame. If the screws aren't 3 in. long, replace them, and also upgrade both plates. (Note: Use shorter screws if sidelight windows are less than 3 in. from the doorjamb.) These longer screws will reinforce the doorjamb, which is a vulnerable spot.
Unscrew and remove the old deadbolt. Measure the hole size and backset distance before buying a new deadbolt.
Clamp 1/4-in. plywood over the hole location. Mark the new, larger hole centered over the existing hole, then bore it with a hole saw.
Screw in the new deadbolt, chiseling out additional wood if necessary to get a flush fit. Then insert and screw in the new cylinder.
Begin by removing the old deadbolt. Almost all types are held by two screws on the interior side of the door and two screws on the faceplate (Photo 1). Measure the cylinder hole size and the "backset" distance, that is, the distance from the center of the hole to the door edge (Photo 1). You'll need these dimensions when you purchase a new deadbolt.
Photo 2 shows how to enlarge a deadbolt hole using scrap lumber, a task that is only necessary if your new deadbolt is too big to fit the existing hole (the normal size for a cylinder hole is 2-1/8 in.). The scrap board engages the center guide bit of the hole saw and keeps the new hole centered. Otherwise, you can't get a clean and accurate cut.
To find the starting point for the hole saw bit, clamp the scrap board to the door and mark both the vertical and the horizontal center of the new cylinder hole. Make sure to hold the drill level and straight so the hole saw bit doesn't bind and jerk your wrist and arm. If you don't have a full-depth hole saw bit, chip the wood away from a partially drilled hole, then continue drilling. Go slow so you don't splinter the opposite side when the bit goes through the door.
Now clean up the hole and test-fit the deadbolt. If the throw-bolt hole (which runs from the cylinder hole to the door edge) is too small, clean it out with a file. Make sure the attached throw-bolt strike plate fits flush (Photo 3), then attach the bolt followed by the deadbolt cylinder. Hand-drive the screws; a power drill may strip the threads.
Your house is at greater risk if:
Effective burglary deterrents:*
(*Taken from a research study, "Knowing Your Odds: Home Burglary and the Odds Ratio," by S. Hakim, G. Renger and Y. Shachamurove, City College of New York and University of Pennsylvania, Sept. 2000)
Remove the lockset's lip strike plate and 3/4-in. screws. Predrill and attach a new plate with No. 8 x 3-in. screws that are angled in slightly to catch the stud. Predrill with a 1/8-in. bit.
To further reinforce the doorjamb, install a new plate in place of the old lip strike plate that serves the doorknob lockset. Attach it with 3-in. screws. Make sure the screwheads seat flush with the face of the strike plate. We used No. 8 x 3-in. screws. No. 10 x 3-in. screws (used for the deadbolt plate) were too large. Remember to angle the screws back slightly to be sure to catch the framing (Figure A). Again, you may have to chisel a slightly larger mortise and predrill to drive the screws.
Most people choose a deadbolt for its color or finish, but when entry security is paramount, the critical deadbolt feature is its grade. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) subjects all locks and components to attacks by hammers, saws, wrenches and other tools. Then it grades the lock: Grade 1 (best and toughest), Grade 2 or Grade 3.
Most locks you find in home centers and hardware stores are Grade 2 or 3. Some Grade 2 locks may list Grade 1 components on the package, but that doesn't give the lock a Grade 1 rating. However, Grade 2 is still a good-quality lock for residential use. We only found one fully compliant Grade 1 deadbolt in local home centers and hardware stores. Professional locksmiths also are a good resource to find Grade 1 deadbolts.
Before you shop for a deadbolt, measure the hole size where the current cylinder fits, as well as the "backset" distance from the center of the cylinder hole to the edge of the door (Photo 1, Step 3). Most new deadbolts require a 2-1/8 in. cylinder hole, but some of them have inserts to fit the smaller 1-1/2 in. hole, so you don't have to drill to enlarge the hole (Photo 2, Step 3).
The backset distance is usually either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 in., so make sure the new deadbolt has the identical backset. Most new locks are adjustable to fit either backset dimension. Just read the box carefully (you may have to open it and read the directions to find the information).
Also decide whether to buy a single cylinder (keyed on exterior side of lock only) or a double cylinder deadbolt (keyed on both sides). Check local building codes too, as they may prohibit double cylinder locks for fire safety reasons (it's more difficult to escape because you must have the key).
Mark the center of the existing deadbolt hole. Then remove the old strike plate.
Align new strike faceplate on the jamb, predrill screw holes and attach it. Score around the inner and outer edges with a utility knife. Remove the faceplate.
Drill two holes that span the strike box dimensions, using a 1-in. spade bit.
Chisel out the strike box and strike plate areas so the strike plate will fit flush with the doorjamb surface.
Drill pilot holes for all four No. 10 x 3-in. wood screws. Install the top and bottom screws.
Drive the final two screws so they're flush inside the box.
Install a heavy-duty strike plate to strengthen the doorjamb. We didn't use the strike plate that came with the deadbolt. We opted for a more secure strike box plate that features four screws instead of two. (Two screws are installed inside the strike box to add strength; see Photo 6.) Mark the center of the old deadbolt strike plate (Photo 1), then temporarily install the new faceplate and deeply score around it to mark its position (Photo 2).
Next, remove the plate, then chisel and drill out space for both the new plate and the strike box. If the strike box is larger than the existing hole, use a 1-in. spade bit to bore two holes, spaced apart the width and the depth of the box (Photo 3).
Now remove the wood with a wood chisel to fit both the strike box plate and the faceplate (Photo 4). Be sure to use the wood chisel with the bevel side against the wood to keep from gouging too deep.
Finally, mount the plate and box and attach them with four 3-in. screws (Photo 5). Predrill pilot holes into the wall studs to make the screws easier to drive. Set the screws snug to the plate; overdriving might bow the jamb.
Now, kick back and rest a little easier, knowing you've made your home more secure.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll need this specific bits for your drill: 2 1/8 in. hole saw, 1 In. spade bit
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

I am new to mock drafts and I am trying to make this realistic and unique compared to others picks and try to add more variety of players than what others .
1st round: Desmond Trufant CB Washington- NFL in the bloodlines with brothers. Quick CB who is extremely competitve. I think he is going to a very good player. Sure his size isn't the same as J.Banks, X.Rhodes, etc. but he has very good in man coverage and is a good tackler. He is the type of CB we could use. He kind of reminds me of A.Winfield.
2nd round: Oday Aboushi OT Virginia- he is athletic and is good at pass blocking. He could put on some more muscle before he becomes a great tackle. He is good at noticing an edge rusher on a blitz. With the right coaching he could be reliable OT which is what we need.
3rd round:Brandon Williams DT Missouri Southern St.- Big DT who is very explosive and strong. He had 8.5 sacks last year which is impressive for a DT. I think he could be a really good player who could make an impact for whoever he gets drafted by
4th round: Jon Bostic MLB Florida-I am hoping we get a MLB in the free agent market. Bostic could be a good player. He had a HUGE hit on Teddy Bridgewater. I would be happy with this pick in the 4th. Would be good value.
5th round: Shamarko Thomas S Syracuse- he was a productive player at syracuse and is not being looked at seriously according to most prospect rankings. He is very athletic and a big hitter. I saw somewhere that he says he can run a sub 4.3. I have friends that go to Cuse and they say that during the offseason you can see Thomas pushing his car around the parking lot for a workout.
6th round: David Bass DE Missouri Western- another small school player but yet again productive. We dont have many glaring needs we followed this draft plan.
7th round: Rex Burkhead RB Nebraska- hardworker productive back who would be a great teammate. He would be liked by fans for his character and he is an all around RB. Good value in the 7th.
I tried to pick players who were not appearing in other peoples mocks. If you dont like parts of it feel free to let me know. I am open to opinions.

To Barry and All
Yesterday I was out ot get some cord as mentioned by Pedro.
What I found was a cord of about 3/16 dia. but was mostly synthetic material. Obviously not suited for the purpose . A thinner cord made of hemp and organic covering was also there but the dia was only about 1/8 th.
Will this thinner cord also work out ?

Entourage (for those of you that watch) was SO awkwards, and then I was on Youtube and saw this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74JFeqJsEmkIts a guy and girl in a bar, as the thread title states....its just SO AWKWARD, but hilarious at the same time. Worth a gander....

Direct Deposit
The college has adopted direct deposit as its standard method of paying wages, student pay will be in their bank account on Friday morning after the end of the pay period. Since there in no place on campus to cash checks direct deposit is secure and convenient, please click here to set this up online through your myColby portal. You will need to know the routing/ABA numbers, account number, and type of account (savings or checking) of your financial institution before submitting your request. If you had direct deposit last year, we will assume that you wish to continue and will be using the same bank as you have in the past. If you wish to change your banking information, you may return to this same link to update your data, however, we ask that you watch your bank accounts online to be sure this change occurs. If you have questions about direct deposit, you must contact STUDENT PAYROLL.
Paycheck Summary
You can see your pay earnings for any pay period this school year, or "school year to date" earnings by using the links on the left or logging into your myColby portal. In your portal click on your "Student Employment" tab and you will be able to see the positions currently open as well as enter your hours. If you do not see your position listed on the resulting page, contact the Student Employment Office to be sure a ESPAF (Electronic Student Personnel Action Forms) has been entered into the database for you.
Payroll periods are two weeks long, beginning on a Sunday, and ending at midnight on a Saturday.
Time Entry
Students - If you are authorized to enter your own time, you may enter your hours as often as you like. Time entry is turned off at midnight on the Sunday following the end of a pay period. Whatever hours are on record at that time will go to your Supervisor for review/approval.
If you miss the deadline, you will have to fill out a paper time sheet, sign it and have it signed by your supervisor, and get it to the Payroll Office in Garrison-Foster by 1 pm on Tuesday. You can download a blank form below.
