ELECTRIC DONUTS: How do you create a hydroelectric dam in the middle of the sea? With a donut-shaped island, of course. Belgium currently derives more than half its electricity from nuclear plants, but it wants to phase them out and use North Sea wind farms instead. One problem with that is how to store excess wind power for use when it's needed. The planned island will be built out of sand 3 km off the Belgian coast. Surplus power will be used to pump water out of the centre of the island and into the surrounding sea. When more electricity is needed the sea will be allowed to flow back in through turbines. Ingenious, but couldn't severe storms be rather a problem?
GADGET TWIST: Power strips can be a pain when one gadget's plug is an odd shape or runs sideways and blocks the outlets on either side.
Allocacoc in The Netherlands have a simple solution: instead of a strip, they created a cube. The PowerCube solves the problem of blocked outlets and multiple cubes can be stacked together to create a strip.
With a twist each module can be easily attached to a small dock that can be mounted on a desk or wall. Various models of PowerCube are available, some with extension cords or USB ports included.
Unfortunately they're only available in Europe at the moment.
TAKE THE LUMPS: Cleaning up radioactive waste is always a headache, but researchers at Rice University and Lomonosov Moscow State University have found a material that can help. Microscopic, atom-thick flakes of graphene oxide added to contaminated water quickly clump together after binding to radionuclides. The clumps can then be easily skimmed off and processed. And with any luck, used for something productive.
FLIPPING SWEAT: It's flipping and bucking because it's lying on a damp surface, but that motion is producing electricity. A team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used polymers and a layer of piezoelectric material to create something that resembles an ordinary piece of thin black plastic. Once the film is put on a damp surface it absorbs moisture, making the ends curl away from the surface. That makes the film unstable, so it flips over. The ends dry out, absorb more moisture and cause another flip. Meanwhile the piezoelectric layer generates electricity as the film bends and flexes. The power output is small, but could be enough for small sensors in sports equipment or environmental monitoring systems in remote locations.

SOLAR SAILING: The electric solar wind sail is designed to push spacecraft a long way. As a first step researchers at the University of Helsinki used ultrasonic welding to create a 1 Km long sail from 25 to 50 micron thin electrically conductive tethers. A full size sail may include up to 100 tethers, each 20 Km long. An electron gun creates a positive charge in the tethers which then create an electric field. Charged particles from the sun, the solar wind, push against the field and transfer momentum to a spacecraft gradually building its speed. A 1000 kg spacecraft with 100 electric-sail wires, each 20-km long, could reach 30 Kilometres per second after a year and it would accelerate beyond that too. A 15 metre long sail will be tested on a small satellite this year. Presumably the solar wind is no more constant than winds on Earth, which could make navigation a bit tricky.

Volunteering is good for the heart as well as the soul, researchers say.
A study showed that even at a young age, those who help others have healthier hearts that could fight off disease.
Scientists found health improvements among volunteers after only ten weeks of taking part in community programmes.
Researcher Hannah Schreier, of the Icahn School of Medicine in New York, said: "The volunteers who reported the greatest increases in empathy, altruistic behaviour and mental health were the ones who also saw the greatest improvements in their cardiovascular health."
The study, published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, tested 106 teenagers from Vancouver. Those involved in altruistic activities had lower levels of cholesterol and inflammation.

Wellington Mara called it "a day of overwhelming sadness'' as the Giants tossed Phil Simms onto the scrap heap, making him the first high-profile salary cap casualty in franchise history. This was after the 1993 season. While few, if any, of the player releases that followed have been as emotional, this latest barrage is a reminder of the NFL life cycle.
"It's a machine,'' Luke Petitgout told The Post yesterday. "Players think they have the power and the leverage. It's the team. It never stops. It spits people out left and right.''
The machine this week churned out linebacker Michael Boley, defensive tackle Chris Canty and, most cruelly, running back Ahmad Bradshaw, whom Giants fans might view the way Dorothy lamented Scarecrow, knowing she would miss him most of all. More could follow. Players who contributed to a Super Bowl championship and, in Bradshaw's case, two of them, are always more difficult to send packing. Some may laud general manager Jerry Reese for his decisiveness, but the real trick is to find replacements because right now, today, the Giants aren't any better than they were a few days ago.
"He's basically getting rid of the guys before they expire, so to speak,'' Petitgout said.
The man knows what time it is. Just as Simms was a first for the former general manager, George Young, Petitgout was the first for Reese back in 2007, the first big-ticket player to be shown the door not long after Reese took the baton from Ernie Accorsi. A reliable left tackle, Petitgout was a first-round pick from Notre Dame and he lasted eight years with the Giants. He still recalls he was "shocked'' around Valentine's Day in 2007 when he was summoned into Tom Coughlin's office.
In the weeks that followed, Petitgout did not hide his bitterness, at the time claiming he was "basically kicked off the club" by Reese."I wasn't exactly Mary Poppins on my way out,'' Petitgout said six years later. "I think that's just because I love the Giants. That's really what the bottom line is. It hurts a player to the soul. It's like back to the playground days of the last guy to get picked, that kind of deal.'' Read more...

The principles and philosophies carried throughout the University date back to our namesake, Roger Williams. Founder of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Roger Williams was the first major figure in colonial America to forcefully argue the need for democracy, religious freedom and understanding of America's native cultures.
The University has dedicated itself to the ideals advocated by Roger Williams himself: education, freedom and tolerance. Through his scholarship in language, theology and law, Williams's life reflected the value of learning and teaching. The University honors his legacy by modeling a community in which diverse people and diverse ideas are valued, intellectual achievement is celebrated and civic responsibility is expected.
Throughout 2013, we celebrated the 350th anniversary of the Rhode Island Colonial Charter and our proud relationship to the State's founder and all he stands for via many special events planned in commemoration of this special occasion.
Code Used By RI Founding Father Is Finally Cracked
In March 2013, Lucas Mason-Brown addressed the University community as part of the Mary Tefft-White Cultural Center Lecture Series. Mason-Brown is the cryptographer who recently deciphered a handwritten code developed by Roger Williams. Historians call the now-readable writings the most significant addition to Williams's scholarship in a generation or more.
Architect Memorializes Abolition of Slavery
On April 11, 2013, Professor of Architecture Julian Bonder addressed the University community to speak about the Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery. Sited on the banks of the Loire River in the heart of the city, the Memorial is the product of Wodiczko + Bonder, a partnership created by Architect and Professor Julian Bonder and Krzysztof Wodiczko of the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
Narrative and Negotiation:
Roger Williams: The Man and His Legacy
This scholarly competition challenged RWU students to explore the story of Roger Williams, the man, and his many contributions to Rhode Island, the United States, and the world. The speech/presentation component of the competition took place as part of the Students Academic Showcase and Honors celebration during the week of April 22, 2013. Read the winning essays here.
RI Charter: Understanding and Significance
In the official kickoff to RWU's celebrations of the anniversary of the Charter, on May 9, 2013, five members of Governor Chafee's Rhode Island 1663 Colonial Charter Commission participated in a panel discussion, moderated by Scott Mackay, political commentator for RI Public Radio. Bringing unique perspectives to the document, they talked about the quest undertaken by Roger Williams and John Clarke as they sought to secure this charter from King Charles II, a document with significant influence on other colonial charters and on the Constitution of the United States.
Civil Rights Leader Addressed School of Law Grads
Morris Dees – a preeminent civil rights attorney and founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center – delivered the Commencement address and earned an honorary degree at the Roger Williams University School of Law ceremony on May 17, 2013.
Commencement Address Featured University Namesake
Award-winning author and historian John M. Barry – acclaimed biographer of Roger Williams himself – addressed the Roger Williams University Class of 2013 and received an honorary degree during Commencement exercises on Saturday, May 18, 2013.
Nathaniel Philbrick Examines American History
As part of the 2013 Common Reading program, award-winning author and historian Nathaniel Philbrick delivered a lecture on early American history based on his books, "Mayflower" – the 2013 Common Reading book selection – and "The Battle of Bunker Hill" on October 3, 2013.
Mary Tefft White Series: Talking in the Library with Historian Ray Rickman
Ray Rickman, president of the Rickman Group, is the former president of the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society and secretary of the Rhode Island Historical Society. He delivered a lecture titled, "How Providence Became a City Because of the Hardscrabble and Snowtown Race Riots of 1824 and 1831," on November 5, 2013.
The Equal Rights Amendment: 30 Years Later
The conference held at Roger Williams University on November 15-16, 2013, brought together scholars from areas of history, law, gender studies, literature, political science, and other disciplines that consider the cultural, political, and legal ramifications of the failure of the ERA.
Pay Attention to Roger
As Roger Williams University joined the State of Rhode Island in leading the 350th anniversary celebration of the 1663 Rhode Island Colonial Charter throughout 2013, we invited members of the community to join us in reviving the legacy of Roger Williams, whose teachings and philosophies were integral to the foundation of America and should generate pride across the university named in his honor. For a glimpse into his life and legacy, read RWU Magazine's feature article, "The Renaissance of Roger Williams" – or enjoy a lively debate of the merits of Williams's work from history and legal experts via "The Experts Weigh In: Why You Should Pay Attention to Roger."

What are the possible side effects of acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- shallow breathing, slow heartbeat;
- feeling light-headed, fainting;
- confusion, fear, unusual thoughts or behavior;
- seizure (convulsions);
- problems with urination; or
- nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Less serious side effects may include:
- anxiety, dizziness, drowsiness;
- mild nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, constipation;
- headache, mood changes;
- blurred vision;
- ringing in your ears; or
- dry mouth.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Lortab 2.5 (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
Tell your doctor if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. You may not be able to take medicine that contains acetaminophen.
Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Hydrocodone may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, pain, or sleep medication. Acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as APAP) is contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much acetaminophen which can lead to a fatal overdose. Check the label to see if a medicine contains acetaminophen or APAP.
This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how acetaminophen and hydrocodone will affect you.
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage while taking acetaminophen.

Ammon teen swims in Transplant Games
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - In just 10 days, an Ammon teenager will make a big splash at the Transplant Games of America.
His name is Blake Krupa and after recovering from a kidney transplant last year, he's back doing what he loves -- swimming competitively.
You can tell with every butterfly stroke and flip that 14-year-old Blake loves swimming.
He's been doing it for six years.
"To me it feels really relaxing and joyful," said Krupa.
You'd never guess from watching this competitive swimmer, that a year ago he was tied up in Primary Children's Medical Center recovering from surgery.
Blake has always had weak kidneys, but last June they started failing him.
"I didn't feel sick, but I guess the blood work and stuff showed differently, that I was sick," said Blake.
Doctors tested him for a transplant match and his mom, Shauna, proved to be the closest donor fit.
They underwent surgery at the same time and it worked.
"When you have a child, you'd do just about anything for them," said Shauna.
After six weeks of recovery, Blake dove right back into his passion with even more energy than before.
"It's been easier, way easier," said Blake.
Now he's training for the Transplant Games of America, just one of many stops on what Blake hopes will be a path to the olympics.
"That would be way fun. That's like my ultimate goal," said Blake.
"I want him to live his dreams, whatever that is," said Shauna.
The games kick off next Saturday, July 28, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

correspondent abducted in Baghdad
New York, October 19, 2005—The Committee to Protect Journalists is alarmed by today's abduction in Baghdad of a veteran reporter for London's Guardian newspaper. The Guardian said it believes a group of armed men seized Rory Carroll, the paper's Baghdad correspondent, as he left a house in the Sadr City, a stronghold of radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. Carroll had been watching the televised trial of Saddam Hussein with a Baghdad family to learn what Iraqi citizens think about the proceedings, the Guardian said.

Who is selling your brand's share of the espresso category?
If a national brand is selling what should be your brand's share of the low competition espresso market, you can claim it now.
Coffee Bean International can produce a top-quality espresso tin for your brand so you can now sell your share of this highly valuable (as in 50% gross margin valuable) market. We know the days are gone when private brand offerings were reserved for the bottom shelf. These specialty tins will attract new buyers, as a high value proposition on espresso in tins is rarely available.
Thanks to millions of dollars in advertising poured into espresso drink marketing this year, customers are ready for it. They try it for value, but because of our artisanal approach to roasting, and high-tech oxygen flushing system which preserves freshness, they will buy again for quality. And all the while, your brand name on the tin will be proudly displayed on the kitchen counter, never to be banished away to the cupboard again.

man, that amos wr kid from midd tenn st reminds me alot of vic cruz..
Jesus, this Brandon Thurman DE Ark Pine Bluff kid just got a TFL and Mayock was saying both Pine Bluff players did well this week, and they showed Thurmans numbers, and he had 17sacks adn 25TFL this yr..lol And just got one in this game as well.. He only weighs 6ft1in 261lbs though, but mayock said he still could probably play end in 4/3 as rotational player on pass downs or OLB in a 3/4
Awesome play by Devin Taylor chasing Alex Carder down for the sack! Hes freaking beasting this game! I think hes the best player i've seen in this game so far...
Taylor's certainly living up to he praise. At his height he still looks very stiff, but he has great length, strength and speed. Could be a nice LE pickup.
Eh, one of me and redeyes guy, Zac stacy has had a bad game and just dropped a easy pass from Nate Stanley, right on the money... Kerwynn Williams has outplayed em in this one...
COaches said Dev Taylor also dominated one on ones all wk.. This kids potential is oozing..

text: I've just about got the exterior of the pickup looking like I want it (probably as much as will get done for a while) so I took it out for a photoshoot when some storms rolled through the other day. I thought I would throw in some pictures from shortly after I bought it. It doesn't even look like the same pickup anymore. About the only things left for the exterior are some new tires (goodyear wrangler silent armor) which will be here this spring, silver bowties, and mounting the spare tire in the bed.

text: Basically this is the only acceptable location I found for the type of thread I'm creating. I'm going to just keep a picture log book of the truck as I take on task to improve it. I'll start with a few regular how it is now pictures. The first being my first top off at the gas station (79 bucks from E!!!!) Will snap a few from different angles tomorrow. I took off the toolbox and the rail guards already (wanted more bed space). First task coming up is replacing the exterior door handles and the interior power mirror switch. I guess follow along if you want to see the truck as it progresses!!! Thanks for viewing (mods/admin if this is the wrong place for this type of thread let me know)

text: I saw some hive top feeders that hold jars, they were made from 7/16" osb. So I made a handful of inner covers with 7/16 osb. I made a pine outer rim. The outer rim has to be a bit thicker, but its basically the same. Not too heavy, but heavy duty. Cut a few jar holes, and the jar lid is almost the same thickness as the osb. So there is no need to thicken it up to hold jars. I used em all last year and my opinion they are good.

Giorgio Armani Couture Spring 2013
10:52 AM Wednesday Jan 23, 2013
Only a few living designers can execute a couture show where almost every look glistens as much with classic timelessness as it does with innovation. Fashion legend Giorgio Armani, 78, is one of them. Proof was Armani Prive's spring-summer 2013 show on Tuesday: a finely balanced affair contrasting the classic with the exotic.

Sullivan County Board of Education 2013-2014 budget proposal
BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. - The Sullivan County Board of Education unveiled their budget for the 2013-2014 school year. Residents came out to Blountville, Tennessee to hear how the board planned on dealing with the four percent revenue shortfall.
There were many cuts throughout the budget, but here are some of the highlights:
The board is proposing cutting 33 teacher's aid positions. These positions are part-time jobs without benefits.
Also recommended is the cutting of more than three hours a week for custodial and maintenance staff. Instead of working 40 hours a week, it is proposed they will only work 36.25 hours, saving the county over $500,000 in health care benefits.
The board also wants to save $400,000 dollars by not buying purchasing new textbooks in the upcoming year.
The driver's education program is also being put on the chopping block.
News 5 spoke with Sullivan County Director of Schools Jubal Yennie about the possible teacher's aid layoff. "Basically," he said, "we're [going to] reduce all the part time positions currently. What we're [going to] do is hire about 20 back, so we'll reapply for those."
This is not the final destination for the budget. Several school board committees will review the recommendations throughout the next week.

Meet Will Penny: Pushing new boundaries in art
Will Penny
Growing up on a horse farm in rural Ontario, Canada, Will Penny sought the bucolic in his art.
Inspired by quiet, wide-open spaces, unencumbered by the grind of urban centers, he explores the intersections of form, light and shadow, as well as the creation of objects that proclaim logic of their own.
Will arrived at SCAD in 2006 on a leap of faith. After spending that first year engrossed in his studies to the exclusion of all else, Will broadened his reach, collaborating with others in other SCAD disciplines to create everything from a bike co-op, to a community garden — and the first student vegetarian association — and even a proposal for a collaborative artists' space.
Upon completion of his B.F.A in painting, Will moved to New York City to work as an artist studio assistant. With daily interactions and sessions, and the multitude of museums and galleries, Will says the move proved to be a massive part of his formal education, but it actually decreased the amount of time he spent painting.
"I realized I hadn't actually produced that much work," he says.
Rededicated to his art, Will moved back to Canada and interned himself in a tin shed behind his parents' house. He painted, trying to process his experiences and the knowledge gained over the last few years.
His output: 20 paintings that would become his graduate school application portfolio.
"I was not bogged down with the why or how, I just did," Will says.
The result was a Dean's Fellowship that would lead to an M.F.A. in painting and a long list of impressive honors and scholarships. Will has exhibited in the U.S. and Canada, and participated alongside international artists during SCAD's 2013 deFINE ART program.
Will collaborated frequently with colleagues across SCAD's fertile terrain of academic disciplines, enriching his artistic perspective, through which he critiqued and expanded his art.
He pushed his art into new dimensions in the spring, when he received the commission for the 2013 SCAD Fashion Show set installation.
"What inspires me most are people with passion. At SCAD, there are so many people that genuinely love what they do, their enthusiasm is contagious," Will says.
Most recently, Will's artworks dissolve traditional boundaries of art and design. His art explores tensions between the tangible space a painting inhabits, the impact of digital technology on fabricated forms and illusionistic environments.
By creating systems of interactivity with digital technologies, Will says his art confronts the way information is generated, transmitted and received.
"The most important thing SCAD has taught me is to have confidence in myself. There are times I face adversity, but I just continue … to work and don't succumb to the fear," he says. "Be driven and don't quit; if it is something you really want … put everything you have into it..."

Why the USF Annual Fund Matters
What makes the USF Annual Fund so important? Everything.
From the first lecture given in Achatz Hall each morning to the last light turned off in the Lee and Jim Vann Library at night, unrestricted gifts to the annual fund are hard at work. Unrestricted gifts are utilized to meet the university's most important needs and opportunities, including scholarships, faculty recruitment and retention, financial aid, library and computer resources, athletics, and facilities maintenance and renovation.
Thanks to the annual fund, the University of Saint Francis has the advantage of being able to solve problems as they arise – and the ability to seize unexpected opportunities. The generous yearly support of alumni, friends, parents, faculty and staff enables the university to provide a challenging curriculum in a vibrant learning environment. This generosity has an immediate and personal impact, enriching the lives of students and faculty every day.
Gifts to the annual fund also help ensure that students receive the financial assistance they need to attend the University of Saint Francis. The annual fund means that USF does not have to choose between funding financial aid and supporting the academic programs that draw students to the university.
In sum, the annual fund assists the University of Saint Francis in fulfilling its mission, making it possible for USF to maintain its leadership in Catholic higher education and to continue challenging the minds of students, today and tomorrow.
If you would like to make a gift to the USF Annual Fund, please call the Office of University Relations at 260-399-8037, or go online to sf.edu/development. You can be sure that your gift, no matter what size, will make a significant difference in the lives of our students.

Reviews for Chicken Crescent Wreath
"Easy and Delicious."
"Excellent, & not difficult at all. Took to dinner this week - was mostly the main dish - everyone loved it!"
"Tasty. I have a different recipe like this with cream cheese."
"Very nice presentation for the holiday season. Pretty tasty too."
"So tasty, I left out the water chestnuts, it made a very pretty easy to make dish for my potluck!"
"I wanted ro use some shredded turkey I had frozen but didn't have water chestnuts, broccoli, cream of chicken soup or Colby cheese. Oopsy!! What's a gal to do! I am not a patient woman and this looked so good I just substituted mixed veggies, cream of celery soup and cheddar cheese and made half the recipe. Only did the substitutions because this is what I had on hand and no time to go to the store. This recipe is fabulous. It was easy to put together, very very tasty, and came out of the oven looking just like the picture! This will definitely be one of the items on my Christmas buffet table next month. Thanks for a great and easy recipe!"
"This recipe is very easy to modify with different meats, vegetables, cream soups or gravy, and cheeses. It also is a good way to use leftovers such as pot roast, ham, corned beef, etc. As long as you have a nice, thick filling and small pieces of vegetable (cooked or uncooked) it works nicely."
"This was wonderful! The only thing I did differently was, I always keep a bag of frozen red, green, yellow, and orange peppers. I heated them with onions and garlic, cooled, and added to the mix. Will definitely make again!"
"Have made a similar one with ham and uses mustard for a little different flavor. Always a hit and so easy to reheat!!"

I never did get around to using the Laidlow cage mainly because the introductions came to an end just about that same time. I have materials here to make one next spring. I am not that fond of the small cage given I also understand the queen can suffer if she does not have enough room to move around.

Hockessin Soccer Club, HSC (DE) has officially become the Delaware Rush. Yesterday, HSC President Fritz Krussman officially signed the Licensing & Sevices Agreement to make this the 26th U.S. based partner. Fritz states, "For the past 21 years, Hockessin Soccer Club has continually worked to find ways to improve the soccer experience for our membership. We feel that the affiliation with Rush Soccer is the next step in that evolution of Hockessin Soccer, and now Delaware Rush, to provide our players with opportunities to play at every level."
The east coast is a hotbed for soccer with Delaware being in the middle of the pushing and shoving. States like PA, NJ and MD have always produced top clubs and top players. The clubs in and around these state are very aggressive in there recruiting and they make no bones about it.
HSC Staff member and former employee of Michigan Rush, Andy Vanover first introduced the potential merger introducing both clubs a little over three months ago. "We do suffer attrition to other clubs in other states (FC Delco – PA, Baltimore Bays – MD). I feel this is a big step for us. Our club does develop high level players and now we need to hold them."
Located on the nothern most part of the State of Delaware about 20 minutes southwest of Philadelphia, the Delaware Rush, with over 2,500 members, will phase in the Rush Way Methodology over time. The Rush have developed a certain philosophy that helps clubs in areas, such as playing opportunities, coaching education, human resources, sponsorships and more. Change does not occur overnight, the process is steady and methodical.
This is a big step for our corporation," says Tim Schulz, President & C.E.O of Rush Soccer. "Typically clubs that are rated 5th, 6th and below in there respective states reach out to us. HSC is number one and that is unusual. I am elated. We are going to do good things together."
Scott Mosier (pictured), Technical Director of HSC says, "Rush Soccer provides our club with immediate club identity, economies of scale and a level of professionalism that goes with the brand. We feel that Rush soccer would give us the push in the right direction not only to retain our level of state dominance, but push us in a direction of regional and national success."

I have always prided myself on being a caring and genuine person. I find honesty and compassion to be traits that all people should have. One of the main passions I have in my life is music. I have very eclectic tastes that span from Elvis to Ozzy to the Beatles to Led Zeppelin. I taught myself to sing and play guitar and have been performing in various stage shows and rock concerts since I was a teenager. Although these days I focus on original songs. I also have a knack for being able to make people laugh. Aaaahhhh, I see you looking at my photo now and laughing, yep the smile is coming out. But what you're laughing at I'll never know lol. Whether it's with celebrity voice impressions or some quick one liners ( Heeyyyyy I've got a 70% success rate, so be nice!). I believe life sometimes shouldn't be taken too seriously.

I got my first Sig just a few weeks ago so I am not super expert on them, but as I do with any firearm purchase I spend hours upon hours researching my purchase before and after I buy something. I have researched, not only the p229 I have, but basically all Sigs in general. From what I have been able to come up with is quality issues, and Sig ,don't go hand in hand. Every manufacturer has a problem once in a while but I have seen much fewer quality issues with Sig than any thing else I have researched so far. Their 1911 had some problems when they first came out but from what I have been able to find recently is those problems have been largely addressed. You may gets some post with different answers but this is what I have seen in the last 3 months of research on Sigs.
It may come from over 15 years of experiencing so many different handguns, both due to my short attention span and the fact I just love to buy sell and trade guns as a hobby, but I NEVER take the advice of the guy behind the counter to mean any more than what the advice cost me. In fact I can't remember when I last asked the advice from some gun counter guy. They have their preferences and prejudices the same as the rest of us, and it is reflected in their advice.

Reviews of this property
Organisation was very fine, Studio was as described. Clean with fresh fruits and everything to spend some nice days in Santa Ponca! Thank you Maria for the nice stay in your house!!
Everything perfect, very friendly and attentive host, I recommend
Todo perfecto, anfitriona muy amable y atenta, lo recomiendo
I stayed in this studio apartment for 10 days and was very happy with it. The air con was fantastic; you can turn it lower or higher if you like. I wish there was an electric kettle and the down side was that the oven was not working. I also wish that the address was correct on the website as it was very hard for the taxi driver to find the place. It was a near miracle and the help of another hotel that we find the place. So I hope they update the address. I wish we had a phone number when we were looking for the place so that we could ring and get an accurate address. But the place is nice and clean and it is as it appears in the website.
We were very comfortable. The refurbished, practical and comfortable hippest. Very close to the beach and the downtown area with all amenities nearby. Very quiet and pleasant. They were very good with us, very nice deal.
If we return to the area, definitely stay there.
Estuvimos muy a gusto. El apartamente reformado,practico y comodo. Muy cerquita de la playa y de la zona centro,con todos los servicios cerca. Zona muy tranquila y agradable. Se portaron muy bien con nosotros,el trato muy agradable.

If you get one of these buy it from Royal Tiger. you get the kit, furniture and 2- 30rd mags for $350
I love this rifle but there were some cracks in the furniture that showed up after I scrubbed it down still I am very happy with it
bubbamauser. Very nice job on that.. For history sake, the pronged flash suppressor while historically accurate, was eliminated for the flush round flash suppressor we see today..
It worked, I guess, but was getting caught on everything it came in contact with.. Like walking with a pitchfork in front of you..
Looks great, nice job..

yes came out very nice
my kit also has cracked furniture, heck gives it some class
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
I am thinking about putting the lower on a dry buffing wheel to try and match to the upper any thoughts on that or better ideas?
Do either of kits include a barrel?

Really liked the idea of the V shaped front on them.. Some guys had hands like Andre the Giant, some guys small hands.. Just moving your hand a bit forward or back, gave a comfortable grip..
Posted before, but rumor had it Colt went to Mattel Corp. for the front grip.. They were set up in the toy plastic industry.. True, false, hell not sure.. But the name kind of stuck.. "Matty Mattel's."

What's New
Innovation in Education Exchange to focus on "Closing the Achievement Gap," December 2nd; Seattle Public School District is the first in the nation to win approval for its plan to use the flexibility provision of the No Child Left Behind Act; Deputy Under Secretary Rees debates school voucher concept and the Education Commission of the States creates a state charter school policy database.

The New Teacher Project Develops New Hiring Reform Model
How can the hiring of highly qualified teachers be streamlined to ensure that urban and rural school districts can compete with their suburban counterparts for the strongest teachers? The New Teacher Project (TNTP) looks for answers to this human resource question.
For example, over the next three years, TNTP will build on its six-year record of finding solutions to the shortage of teachers in the nation's urban school districts. TNTP will launch a comprehensive hiring reform initiative that addresses inadequate human resource systems, as well as a web of policies, including vacancy notification, teacher transfer requirements, and budget timetables, that prevent earlier and more effective hiring. These barriers typically delay hiring in urban districts until mid- to late-summer and result in the loss of many of the best applicants to surrounding districts that hire earlier.
TNTP plans to reform the teacher hiring process and drive change in hiring process in two urban districts through a two-pronged strategy:
- Managing the core hiring functions and working closely with human resources staff to run the day-to-day hiring operations. The goal is to create a transparent and efficient applicant process by ensuring a strong applicant and data tracking system; setting hiring goals; supporting timely school placements; recruiting strategically; establishing a plan for bringing uncertified teachers to full certification; and reforming the district's human resources department.
- Creating a local teacher hiring alliance of key decision makers from the superintendent's office, district offices, schools and the union, community advocates, and state government representatives. The alliance will concentrate on reforms in four areas: reporting, posting, and opening vacancies in a timely manner; completing the transfer process earlier; releasing budgets to schools sooner; and enabling schools to play an earlier and more active role in hiring.
Formed in 1997 as a spin-off to the Teach for America program, TNTP has two primary goals: to increase the number of outstanding individuals who become public school teachers and to create an environment for all educators to maximize their impact on student achievement.
The New Teacher Project works closely with school districts to enhance their capacity to recruit, select, train, and support outstanding new teachers. TNTP offers to create and run high-quality alternative routes to teacher certification. Also, the project offers short-term training modules for districts that want to jump-start their teacher recruitment efforts, as well as pre-service training institutes for high-achieving individuals without prior education backgrounds.
TNTP has prepared over 10,000 new, high-quality teachers and launched 39 programs in 18 states since 1997. In 2002, TNTP was responsible for delivering more than 20% of all new teachers in New York City, Washington, DC, Atlanta, Kansas City, KS, Kansas City, MO, and San Jose, CA. TNTP has also worked with rural districts in Arkansas and Louisiana, and developed systems there to overcome unique teacher recruitment obstacles.
The New Teacher Project received an Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII) grant in 2003 to develop the hiring reform model. For more information about the OII administered Fund for the Improvement of Education grant program, please visit: Fund for the Improvement of Education.

Prep Time 50 min
Total Time 50 min.
Step 1
Use a 5-hole zester to remove zest from oranges into long, thin, spindly strips (see Variation). Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the zest to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a small strainer (reserve the cooking liquid). Rinse with cold water; separate and drain on a paper towel.
Step 2
Stir sugar into the reserved cooking liquid; bring to a simmer. Cut vanilla bean in half lengthwise; scrape the seeds into the sugar water and add the pod along with cinnamon stick, cloves and star anise. Continue to simmer until the sauce reduces to 1/2 cup and thickens slightly, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 3
Meanwhile, slice off an end of each orange so they stand upright steadily. In careful sculpting slices, remove all the remaining peel and white pith from the oranges with a very sharp knife. Slice the peeled oranges into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Remove any extraneous pith or rind and any stray seeds.
Step 4
Discard the vanilla pod and whole spices. Stir the zest into the sauce. Layer the orange slices in a serving bowl, spooning the sauce between layers to distribute the zest evenly throughout.

This mellow salsa, made with dried ancho chiles, is a good all-purpose salsa. It's delicious with anything from scrambled eggs to tostadas. A rich tomato flavor is important in this salsa, so when tomatoes are out of season, good-quality canned tomatoes may be a better choice than fresh.

Re: making bread using a kenwood chef
My Kenwood was bought in 1972 and still going strong - A701A, I had to buy a new dough hook - the old one is lost in the depths of the shed! So interested to read comments as to how long to use the hook etc - I found the instruction book with a pamphlet on bread making but it seemed very out of date. I will try Earthmum's recipe - thank you.

What's the deal with autolysing? I've never heard the term.

Re: making bread using a kenwood chef
It is a fancy term for what is actually a very simple process. high ratio hydration. meaning lots of water mixed with flour . A poolish which is often used in bread making has a high hydration aspect that helps develop gluten but also the yeast added and extra time in a slow ferment is for taste.
A straight up example of doing an autolyse would be to take a recipe and break out the water and an equal amount of the flour from it and mix and let them sit for about 30 to 45 mins before adding the rest of the flour and other ingredients.
so in the case of a simple pizza dough recipe that looks like this.
650grams water
1000 grams flour
a package of dry active yeast (approx 8 grams)
20 -25 grams sea salt
50-60 grams olive oil
pinch of ascorbic acid
this is a 65 %hydration dough and fairly wet if you just mix it straight up. you can do that and knead for gluten production
To use an autolyse though
simply break out 650grams of flour from the total 1000 grams . Mix that in equal parts with the 650grams of water and then let it sit for about 40 mins.
The high water hydration swells the wheat cells in the flour and literally rips them apart creating a large amount of gluten without the need for kneading.
add the rest of the ingredients and mix together put in a warm place to rise
use enough bench flour to make it workable by hand and
you will have a very elastic dough that can be windowpaned. Meaning that it can be pulled out so thin that you can see through it without it ripping.
There is a pretty solid process for no knead bread that is pretty popular right now that using this principle as the core of its technique. It mixes all the ingredients together a the beginning and lets it rest for 18 hrs. the hydration is still fairly high although not one to one so the autolyse process takes a bit longer for the glutens to form

Re: making bread using a kenwood chef
I see! I might try that.
I have recently started using more water when making bread, as I find a wetter dough at the kneading and rising stage lets more gluten come out and you get better-risen bread at the end, even if you don't knead for as long. I wonder if this is why. (I knead with the dough very sticky, then add more flour after rising and before shaping).
Also I'm planning to try ciabatta one day, as that fascinates me - it's like the extreme end of wet-dough breadmaking, with the dough being the consistency of pancake batter at the start. The video I saw, the person was using a stand mixer to knead it, and it was the most extraordinary thing - at the end it still looked like liquid, but was holding itself together with the gluten like some kind of alien blob. Me and my underused Kenwood Chef are definitely going to try it soon!

Re: making bread using a kenwood chef
It's an old thread I know but nevertheless vaulable, I'm glad I found it. Need advice re bread dough in a Kenwood Chef I've just bought.
My problems lies with the wetness of the dough. I use Richard Bertinets basic recipe for white bread, tweeked just a little. 500g strong white flour, 340g water, 4g dry yeast, 8g salt and that's it.
When making by hand my bread turned out pretty well after a good session of slap and bang I get a good silky finish. Now, however, I'm getting a sticky mess.
I know the problem is my water. Either I'm adding in to much water, or I'm not adding it in the right way. I think it is the latter. Can someone tell me then how I should add the liquid: all at once, half now and half a little later on, or easy and slow. Maybe I'm using to much, do you use less in a machine?
It's a simple problem I know and I've only had the machine for about a week but I'm just trying to get to know it that bit better
As always many thanks for your advice.

Re: making bread using a kenwood chef
My Kenwood is a relative baby.....1982....& she & her dough hook are still going strong.
I would say to anyone using a domestic stand mixer to knead bread...go steady with the weight of the dough being kneaded & allow the motor to cool down now & then.
I haven't done it, but have known a few bakers & their machines 'blow' through overwork.

Re: making bread using a kenwood chef
As Minerva said. As for the water, don't add all at once (flour: water ratio changes when bread making due to flour, ambient temperature, humidity, altitude etc). If you're making ciabatta, focaccia, they are wet doughs. Hope this helps .

Re: making bread using a kenwood chef
Wetter dough is easier on the machine!
But with any bread the liquid is the thing that is most variable, and really it is only practice and the resulting experience that help you get it right. I start be adding a good half and then keep addng more until it all comes together nicely.
I find that a wetter dough makes excellent bread, but not one to eat as soon as it is out of the oven. Wait til the next day. Yum! And then it keeps fresher for several days because it doesn't dry out so quickly.
Good luck! You'll get it right!

Re: making bread using a kenwood chef
And with wet doughs such as ciabatta and focaccia, try to avoid the temptation to keep adding more flour when doing the shaping. It's meant to be like that.

Good thing that, because, a year ago, Smith left Dirty Vegas and his native New Eltham (in South London) behind not for a penthouse apartment in NYC or a hip bungalow in LA but for a nice family house in Scituate, on Boston's South Shore. His creative juices flowing, he hooked up with another British expat resettled in Boston, former Cornershop sitar player Anthony Saffery, and began work on what would become his solo debut, This Town (G.A.S.).
"I just loved a lot of the music that came out of this area," he said as he waited for Saffrey to show up, just a few hours before they were to celebrate the release of the new disc with a show upstairs at the Middle East. "But the move was just kind of impulsive. The hippie in me has to be somewhere where I feel creative. When I lived in London and since I've been a professional musician, I've always kind of disappeared, gone to different places, searching for inspiration — the San Juan Islands up in Washington State, or Cape Cod. Never sunny places for me. I get nothing from Florida or Los Angeles. I'm just not that kind of person. Maybe it was listening to Quadrophenia too many times as a kid: I just need to go down and sit on the shore when all the shutters are down on the shops. So I just got a hunch that this is where I needed to be. You haven't got this cutthroat-ego thing that you've got in New York, and you haven't got this inflated-ego thing that you've got in Los Angeles. The heritage of Boston music has been great for many years, and I needed a dose of decent indie rock, which is what I found here."
At first listen, This Town is a big departure from Dirty Vegas, which is perhaps why his new version of "Days Go By" is the last track on the disc. But it's not exactly lo-fi indie pop, either. Strumming acoustic guitars, tinkling piano notes, and a steady backbeat pick up steam behind a spoken-word bit by actor John Savage as the album opens with "This Town," an atmospheric track that details Smith's thinking behind his move from London. "A different name, a different place/I'll disappear without a trace," he sings against ever surging electric guitars.

So very sorry for your loss. I have never had a sister, and only one brother, we are so very close. I know your loss is very hard, especially going through her stash.
I have all of my mother's things, including her sewing machine. She was an avid crocheter, I have all of her patterns, needles and many things she made, only a few she had started and never finished. I also crochet, but couldn't do any myself for many years after mother passed, as I would think of her when I would start and have to put it all away.I had such a rough time, trying to complete one of her afghans, all blocks and pattern were there, but I just had to have a dear friend complete it for me. My mother passed 23 years ago and I still have problems when I come across her patterns or needles I have kept. I can't bear to give any of them up, I keep thinking I will give a few to a family member who also crochets, I will someday maybe. Wishfully hoping that my daughter will want them, but even though she has dibbled in crochet, she is not at all a crafter. She would only want them for sentimental reasons, and there are so many, probably 50 or 60 needles.
I am sure there were many tears while washing, ironing and talking to her, and more in the future, but you have to know she will always be with you when you are working on any project that involves any of her stash. How sweet of your neice to give it all to you. What a nice gesture on your part to complete the yo yo quilt for your neice. I am seeing a beautiful memory quilt from some of her stash in your future. Just remember that she would be so happy knowing you are using her stash and what memories she would have shared. Take care and show us some of your projects you make. May God's Blessings be with you and your family in this loss. Prayers are with you as well. What a wonderful story you have posted, but your feet will only hurt for a short while, and your memories and love will last forever.

First off, I've only got like .20 acres to cut, so it's not like I'll be breaking my back. Second, I need the exercise. Third, it's going to take up a lot less space and I don't have to store gas and oil anymore for it. They've got a lot of good products on there too to take a look at. Composting Bins Push Reel Mowers Patio Furniture and more. Shown is the Brill Razorcut 38 push reel mower. Looks like they've got some electric trimmers too. My trimmers just fell and broke when I was getting Christmas lights down from the shelves, so maybe I'll have to look at getting some new ones.
