Squeaky SRT8 Bilstien Strut
I have about 2,500 miles on my new bilstiens after I did the SRT8 conversion and the passenger side front strut is squeaking like mad. It took forever for me to figure this out but if I take a stethoscope and put it on the shock bolt it resonates like crazy. Anything else I put it on doesn't even make the slightest noise in my stethoscope.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Re: Squeaky SRT8 Bilstien Strut
Isn't there any warranty by any chance?
Re: Squeaky SRT8 Bilstien Strut
Should be. I will call justforjeeps.com and figure out if this has been an issue or not. I was curious if anyone else has had this issue though.
Re: Squeaky SRT8 Bilstien Strut
i had a squeak Jon from one side and it was my upper ball joint
Re: Squeaky SRT8 Bilstien Strut
You can make it squeak by just shaking it side to side. I tried putting it on the ball joint and didn't get anything.
Re: Squeaky SRT8 Bilstien Strut
I noticed the squeak and then noticed the boot was cut....changed it out an dthat solved it. Mine was obvious...doesnt seem like your is. have you talked to peter at justforjeeps? They will stand behind what they sell.
Re: Squeaky SRT8 Bilstien Strut
Haven't yet. I will try him tomorrow.
Re: Squeaky SRT8 Bilstien Strut
Can even try a squirting some thin lube on the shock shaft. Sometime all it takes is a piece of grit to work its way in there and you hve an instant squeek.
WD40, Inox, that kind of thing may fix it. It has for me previously. Effectively, you're wanting to "flush out" the grit that may be in there.
That said, if it's under warranty, definately talk to the seller.
Re: Squeaky SRT8 Bilstien Strut
agree with Benny......and if its NEW I would consider trying for a replacement if a 'quick lube' fails/

India suffer second straight loss in Ipoh, lose to Korea
India went down 1-2 after Rupinder Pal Singh failed to convert any of the six penalty corners India earned.
Ipoh: An indifferent Rupinder Pal Singh failed to make use of six penalty corners (PC) on Sunday that cost India a narrow 1-2 defeat against Korea at the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup - their second loss in as many games after losing to Australia.
India were late to come out of their straps with a scratchy first half which saw Korea earn five PCs to India's none. The Koreans were clearly the better team in the first 35 minutes during which they opened scoring off their third PC in the 28th minute through Kang Moon Kweon, who went on to score the winner as well in the 60th minute. India's only goal was scored by Malak Singh four minutes into the second half when the equalised to make it 1-1.
The match began with the two teams trying to measure each other up until the 21st minute when Korea earned back-to-back PCs. But Indian goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, who had another terrific game, denied the Koreans with a couple of high-flying saves.
India got a chance to go ahead in the 25th minute when Mandeep Singh ran into the Korean circle from the right and played a neat cross for Nithin Thimmaiah, who failed to control his run. However, Korea's continued pressure resulted in another PC in the 28th minute. This time Korea used a set piece and passed the ball to Kweon who deflected it in neatly from the right. Korea could have doubled their lead before half-time but failed to make use of two more PCs in the 32nd and 35th minute, and it stayed 1-0 at half-time.
India began the second half on the right note, putting the Koreans under pressure in the opening minutes. It resulted in India drawing level through Malak in the 39th minute. Manpreet Singh ran into the Korean half on a break-away move and passed it to Mandeep who made a superb overlapping run from the right. He then pushed the ball for Malak in front of the goal, and the youngster made no mistake to make it 1-1.
Five minutes later India earned their first PC but Rupinder misflicked to let the opportunity go a begging. The Korean goalkeeper then came up with a reflex save in the 48th minute to deny Rupinder again on another PC.
Korea, feeling the pressure, fell back in numbers to defend Indian attacks which were increasing as the clock ticked by. In the 55th minute, India earned three consecutive PCs but were once again let down by Rupinder. But it was Korea who broke the deadlock in the 60th minute when Kang scored the winner off a timely deflection at the end of a long ball down the centre of the pitch.
India's luck continued to elude them when deflection by an Indian stick off a hard push by Rupinder struck the bar to keep Korea ahead. India's last opportunity to score an equaliser came a minute later, in the 64th, when Rupinder had another chance to undo his previous misses. But once again his push hit the bar, giving Korea a narrow win and India their second straight loss.

Storybook Blending
Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, presented by Peoria's Arizona Broadway Theatre through Sunday, June 23, is a musical with a dark side. Parents will want to accompany their children (12 and older) even though it's a mashup of characters like Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Jack, Jack's cow, some princes who married Cinderella and Snow White, and a mysterious witch. Hit showtunes include "No One Is Alone" and "Children Will Listen," and, because Woods premièred in the '80s, there's a huge technical spectacle that should, if possible, remain a surprise.
Enter the forest of 7701 West Paradise Lane at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 18, for a banquet that may include magical bean soup and pumpkin ice cream, along with specialty cocktail, The Witch's Brew, followed by the show.

Whangarei students Sean Thorburn and Kelly Springford have been awarded Ray White Allens Education Foundation Scholarships to study at NorthTec.
They were selected from nearly 100 applicants from schools across Northland. Sean, from Pompallier College, will study cinematography and video-editing in the Media Arts programme and Kelly, from Whangarei Girls' High School, will study for a Bachelor in Nursing.
Sean said for as long as he could remember, his goal was to be successful in the film industry.
"I feel that the language of cinematography, how the pacing and visual flow of images can create a vivid, coherent experience in the viewer's mind, is something that I resonate to and understand on a natural and instinctive level," he said.
He aims to complete the Diploma in Applied Arts (Digital Multimedia, Level 6) then move further into video editing at South Seas Film School and then the Toi Whakaari Film School.
Kelly's recent experience of assisting in a family birth led her to choose nursing as a career path - one she was keen to pursue at NorthTec.
A karate expert, Kelly said she would apply the same dedication for her sport to nursing.
"I have been told NorthTec trains very good practical nurses, something I aspire to be - I want to do the best I can in NorthTec's Bachelor of Nursing Level 7 as successfully completing this qualification will give me an advantage when searching for jobs," she said.
Described by her teachers as "an outstanding young woman", Kelly has furthered her interest in a nursing career through participation in the Incubator programme - giving her hands-on experience in the health sector.
Ray White Allens Education Foundation scholarship recipients each receive up to $2000 each in funding to be used towards their approved course of study.

GM Joins Chrysler, Nissan in Exceeding Delivery Estimates
General Motors Co. (GM) joined Chrysler Group LLC and Nissan Motor Co. (7201) in beating analysts' estimates for February U.S. sales while Ford Motor Co. (F), Toyota Motor Corp. (7203) and Honda Motor Co. did worse than projected.
Chrysler and Nissan gains were driven largely by sport-utility vehicles while GM saw improved deliveries of Chevrolet cars and Buick models that helped make up for declines by its trucks. Ford said dealers struggled to sell small cars in another frigid month across much of the country.
Light-vehicle sales in the U.S. remained little changed in February compared to the same month a year ago reaching 1.2 million while the annualized selling pace, adjusted for seasonal trends, matched last year's 15.3 million units, according to researcher Autodata Corp. The average of 13 analyst estimates was for an annualized rate of 15.4 million.
"Heading into February, our expectations were very low, we were expecting another down month, similar to what we saw in January," Alec Gutierrez, a senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book, said today in a telephone interview. "Given some of the challenges that we saw with the month, I would classify this as a good month for the industry and sets us up for a very strong March."
Detroit Results
GM's U.S. sales slipped 1 percent to 222,104, beating analysts' estimates for a 7.7 percent decline. The Detroit-based automaker reported today that sales by its Buick brand increased 19 percent, helped by deliveries of the Regal sedan, up 49 percent, and the Encore sport-utility vehicle, up 93 percent.
Ford's U.S. light-vehicle deliveries fell 6.1 percent to 183,349, missing the average of nine analyst estimates in a survey by Bloomberg News for a 5.3 percent decline. Toyota sales slid 4.3 percent, to 159,284, a bigger decline than the 2.5 percent drop estimated by six analysts.
Chrysler deliveries rose 11 percent to 154,866 with its Jeep SUV brand increasing sales by 47 percent, the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based automaker said today in a statement. The third-largest U.S. automaker beat the average of five analyst estimates for an 8.8 percent gain.
"The severe weather has been ideally suited for our legendary Jeep 4x4 capability," Reid Bigland, head of U.S. sales for Chrysler, said in the company's statement.
Nissan's Gain
Nissan's deliveries, including its Infiniti luxury brand, rose 16 percent last month to 115,360, beating analysts' estimates that projected a 12 percent gain. Rogue SUV sales rose 73 percent to 17,197 while Nissan's namesake brand trucks as a whole gained 33 percent, the Yokohama, Japan-based automaker said today in an e-mailed statement.
Sergio Marchionne, chief executive officer of both Chrysler and Fiat SpA (F), is relying on the U.S. company's Jeep Cherokee and revamped Chrysler 200 family sedan to fuel profit this year for the group. Chrysler's strength in SUVs and pickups is helping as buyers coping with inclement weather are seeking vehicles that get good traction.
Chrysler said it sold 11,795 of its Cherokee sport-utility vehicles in its fifth month in the market, and 12,691 of its larger Grand Cherokee, helping the company to extend its streak of year-over-year sales gains to 47 consecutive months.
Monthly Pace
Fiat said in January it would combine with the U.S. automaker to form Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, which will be based in the Netherlands and list on the New York Stock Exchange.
GM said its inventory rose to 805,769 at the end of the month, giving it an 87-day supply. That's down from 114 during the previous month and an increase from 79 at the end of February 2013.
Ford had 697,000 vehicles in inventory at the end of February, a 91-day supply. That was down from 111 days supply in January and up from 71 days supply in February 2013.
"It's a good signal when we look at the balancing of sales and production to suggest that we're starting to work through that inventory glut," Jeff Schuster, LMC Automotive's senior vice president of forecasting, said in an interview.
While Buick saw sales increases last month, GM's Cadillac brand slipped 2.9 percent as ATS compact sedan deliveries fell 28 percent to 2,427 and the bigger redesigned CTS sedan declined 2.2 percent.
"The luxury market was pretty tough in February," Jim Cain, a GM spokesman, said in an e-mail.
GM's Chevrolet and GMC brands also failed to post gains even as Chevy's Cruze, Malibu and Sonic cars reported increases. Chevrolet Silverado pickup sales decreased 12 percent.
Mercedes Rises
U.S. sales of Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz, the top-selling luxury auto brand in the market last year, rose 2.6 percent to 22,609, a February record, while deliveries by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG's namesake brand rose 3.3 percent to 22,017, the automakers said in separate statements.
Honda sales, including those of its Acura luxury brand, fell 7 percent to 100,405, a worse outcome than any of the six analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Those projections, which ranged from a decline of 4 percent to a gain of 2 percent, averaged a 0.3 percent increase for the Tokyo-based company.
Hyundai Motor Co. (005380) and affiliate Kia Motors Corp. (000270)'s combined deliveries fell 3.8 percent to 90,221, according to statements released by the companies. Analysts had projected their combined sales would rise 1.6 percent in February.
"I don't like to make excuses, but the awful weather we saw across the country really hurt traffic to our dealerships and ultimately kept our sales at a pace well below what we were expecting," Bob Pradzinski, vice president of sales for Hyundai's U.S. unit, said in the statement.
Weather Watch
Volkswagen AG (VOW)'s VW and Audi brands reported a combined 10 percent drop in sales, compared with a 9.5 percent decline projected by the average of four estimates. U.S. sales the VW brand fell 14 percent to 27,112 as deliveries of the Golf tumbled 56 percent and the Touareg declined 46 percent, the Wolfsburg, Germany-based automaker said in an e-mailed statement. Audi sales rose by four vehicles for a 38th straight monthly gain.
VW canceled a planned call with journalists today because of "blizzard-like conditions" hitting the Washington area where the automaker's U.S. office is located, the company said in an e-mail.
"Weather still impacted sales, though it does appear that cadence improved through the month," Joseph Spak, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets said in a note to investors. "This bodes relatively well for our belief that the release of short-term pent-up demand can lead to a spring month in the high" 16 million or 17 million selling rate.
2014 Outlook
GM, Ford and Toyota -- the three largest automakers by U.S. sales -- each predict U.S. auto sales will top 16 million this year after growing by more than 1 million annually for the last four years. They totaled 15.6 million in 2013, the industry's best annual result since 2007, according to researcher Autodata Corp.
"Despite a slower start to 2014 than most people expected, we look forward to a very successful year, backed by plenty of new products and what should be the strongest GDP growth since the end of the recession," Kurt McNeil, GM's U.S. vice president of sales operations, said in the statement.
Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA), the electric-car maker that forecasts a global sales increase of more than 55 percent this year, doesn't report U.S. sales on a monthly basis.

Eligibility criteria
To be eligible for consideration in the 2016 Award cycle, projects should have been completed between the period 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2014 and which have been in use for at least one full year.
The 13th Award cycle covers the period from 2014 to 2016. The identification and documentation of eligible projects will continue through 30 October 2015. A project identification programme permits all persons or institutions to submit projects. The selection process emphasizes architecture that not only provides for people's physical, social and economic needs, but that also stimulates and responds to their cultural expectations. Particular attention is given to building schemes that use local resources and appropriate technology in innovative ways, and to projects likely to inspire similar efforts elsewhere. Through its efforts, the Award seeks to identify and encourage building concepts that successfully address the needs and aspirations of societies across the world and set new standards of excellence in architecture, planning practices, historic preservation and landscape architecture. Eligibility criteria for the current cycle focus on projects that were completed between the period 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2014 and which have been in use for at least one full year. There are no fixed criteria for the type, nature, location or cost of projects to be considered, although eligible projects must be designed for or used by Muslim communities, in part or in whole, wherever they are located. To register a project, please complete an Identification Form, available on the "Architecture" section of the Aga Khan Development Network website: www.akdn.org/architecture. Submissions can also be sent to the following email address: firstname.lastname@example.com. Award recipients will be announced at a ceremony in autumn 2016. The Award seeks nominations that represent the broadest possible range of architectural interventions. All types of building projects that affect today's environment may be submitted. These include architectural projects ranging from modest, small-scale buildings to sizable complexes, from single homes, bus stops and rural school buildings to sky scrapers, infrastructure and transportation undertakings, housing initiatives, educational and health campuses, new towns, urban conservation projects and the re-use of brown field sites. All forms of planning practice in urban as well as rural contexts are encouraged. Large projects and long-term initiatives that are not yet fully completed – such as master plans, area preservation projects, and community upgrading schemes, among others – are eligible so long as a tangible portion of the project has been completed in a manner that demonstrates its long-term potential success and viability.

Clinical Trial Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
Short-term Studies
The safety of LYSTEDA in the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) was studied in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies [see Clinical Studies]. One study compared the effects of two doses of LYSTEDA (1950 mg and 3900 mg given daily for up to 5 days during each menstrual period) versus placebo over a 3-cycle treatment duration. A total of 304 women were randomized to this study, with 115 receiving at least one dose of 3900 mg/day of LYSTEDA. A second study compared the effects of LYSTEDA (3900 mg/day) versus placebo over a 6-cycle treatment duration. A total of 196 women were randomized to this study, with 117 receiving at least one dose of LYSTEDA. In both studies, subjects were generally healthy women who had menstrual blood loss of ≥ 80 mL.
In these studies, subjects were 18 to 49 years of age with a mean age of approximately 40 years, had cyclic menses every 21-35 days, and a BMI of approximately 32 kg/m² . On average, subjects had a history of HMB for approximately 10 years and 40% had fibroids as determined by transvaginal ultrasound. Approximately 70% were Caucasian, 25% were Black, and 5% were Asian, Native American, Pacific Islander, or Other. Seven percent (7%) of all subjects were of Hispanic origin. Women using hormonal contraception were excluded from the trials.
The rates of discontinuation due to adverse events during the two clinical trials were comparable between LYSTEDA and placebo. In the 3-cycle study, the rate in the 3900 mg LYSTEDA dose group was 0.8% as compared to 1.4% in the placebo group. In the 6-cycle study, the rate in the LYSTEDA group was 2.4% as compared to 4.1% in the placebo group. Across the studies, the combined exposure to 3900 mg/day LYSTEDA was 947 cycles and the average duration of use was 3.4 days per cycle.
A list of adverse events occurring in ≥ 5% of subjects and more frequently in LYSTEDA treated subjects receiving 3900 mg/day compared to placebo is provided in Table 2.

Long-term Studies
Long-term safety of LYSTEDA was studied in two open-label studies. In one study, subjects with physician-diagnosed heavy menstrual bleeding (not using the alkaline hematin methodology) were treated with 3900 mg/day for up to 5 days during each menstrual period for up to 27 menstrual cycles. A total of 781 subjects were enrolled and 239 completed the study through 27 menstrual cycles. A total of 12.4% of the subjects withdrew due to adverse events. Women using hormonal contraception were excluded from the study. The total exposure in this study to 3900 mg/day LYSTEDA was 10,213 cycles. The average duration of LYSTEDA use was 2.9 days per cycle.
A long-term open-label extension study of subjects from the two short-term efficacy studies was also conducted in which subjects were treated with 3900 mg/day for up to 5 days during each menstrual period for up to 9 menstrual cycles. A total of 288 subjects were enrolled and 196 subjects completed the study through 9 menstrual cycles. A total of 2.1% of the subjects withdrew due to adverse events. The total exposure to 3900 mg/day LYSTEDA in this study was 1,956 cycles. The average duration of LYSTEDA use was 3.5 days per cycle.
The types and severity of adverse events in these two long-term open-label trials were similar to those observed in the double-blind, placebo-controlled studies although the percentage of subjects reporting them was greater in the 27-month study, most likely because of the longer study duration.
A case of severe allergic reaction to LYSTEDA was reported in the extension trial, involving a subject on her fourth cycle of treatment, who experienced dyspnea, tightening of her throat, and facial flushing that required emergency medical treatment.
Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified from postmarketing experience with tranexamic acid. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Based on US and worldwide postmarketing reports, the following have been reported in patients receiving tranexamic acid for various indications:
- Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
- Allergic skin reactions
- Anaphylactic shock and anaphylactoid reactions
- Thromboembolic events (e.g., deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cerebral thrombosis, acute renal cortical necrosis, and central retinal artery and vein obstruction); cases have been associated with concomitant use of combination hormonal contraceptives
- Impaired color vision and other visual disturbances
- Dizziness
Read the Lysteda (tranexamic acid tablets) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
No drug-drug interaction studies were conducted with LYSTEDA.
Hormonal Contraceptives
Because LYSTEDA is antifibrinolytic, concomitant use of hormonal contraception and LYSTEDA may further exacerbate the increased thrombotic risk associated with combination hormonal contraceptives. For this reason, concomitant use of LYSTEDA with combination hormonal contraceptives is contraindicated [see CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Tissue Plasminogen Activators
Concomitant therapy with tissue plasminogen activators may decrease the efficacy of both LYSTEDA and tissue plasminogen activators. Therefore, exercise caution if a woman taking LYSTEDA therapy requires tissue plasminogen activators.
Factor IX Complex Concentrates or Anti-Inhibitor Coagulant Concentrates
LYSTEDA is not recommended for women taking either Factor IX complex concentrates or anti-inhibitor coagulant concentrates because the risk of thrombosis may be increased [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
All-Trans Retinoic Acid (Oral Tretinoin)
Exercise caution when prescribing LYSTEDA to women with acute promyelocytic leukemia taking all-trans retinoic acid for remission induction because of possible exacerbation of the procoagulant effect of all-trans retinoic acid [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].

Brother headlines the fact that this A3 all-in-one can produce duplex prints and copies. So it can, but with some provisos. For a start, it can only print and copy A4 documents duplex, not A3. When it comes to duplex copies, it can copy a document printed on one side and produce one printed on both sides, but it can't reproduce a duplexed document, unless you're prepared to use the flatbed and turn each source sheet over during copying. In other words, the MFC-6890CDW has a single-sided scanner head.
The other proviso is speed. This is a very slow duplex, A4 printer, taking 8:51 to print our 20-side, 10-page text document. Copying a 20-page simplex document to a 10-page duplex one took even longer, at 14:25. These speeds are so slow, customers may well be unwilling to spend the time printing and copying duplex and will forgo the cost and environmental economies.
A4 speeds in general sit around 4-4.5ppm, which isn't quick, but beats some Lexmark all-in-ones. As usual, they don't' bear much relation to the quoted figures of 35ppm for black and 28ppm for colour, which are daft print figures. Sorry, draft print figures.
A3 paper, of course, has twice the area of A4, so you might expect the machine to take twice as long to print an A3 page as its A4 equivalent. In fact, our A3 text and graphics document only took 1:41, as opposed to 1:14 and the five-page black text document was marginally quicker than its A4 equivalent, at 1:09. Ink priming, which happens at random times during print jobs, accounts for this apparent discrepancy.
Photo prints, if you choose 'Highest' rather 'Photo' mode, are natural and well balanced, with smooth gradations of shade and detail, in shadow as well as brightly-lit areas. Unfortunately, 'Highest' mode takes a long while, with a 15 x 10cm print completing in 3:46, rather than 1:39. Photo mode loses a lot of the shadow detail, but otherwise retains most of the best attributes.
Plain paper print quality has always let Brother inkjets down and continues to do so here. Black text, surely the simplest of the things to get right, manages to show the spikiness of feathering, caused by the spread of ink down the paper fibres, and also under-saturated print, where the white paper shows through parts of the black print.
Colour graphics are insipid and look pastel even when the originals aren't and colour copies are even paler. Colour photos, on Brother's own glossy photo paper, are much better, and show strong hues, giving the finished images bold and effective colouring.
Ink cartridges, which are the only consumables in this machine, are available in two capacities. Black ink cartridges give 450 and 900-page yields and colour ones give 325 and 750 pages. When you work through the maths, this produces page costs of 2.77p for black and 6.54p for colour. Both these are good, when compared with many other machines in the same target market. The colour print cost is particularly good.
The MFC-6890CDW has quite a bit going for it, if you need A3 prints and copies. It's versatile in the sizes and shapes of paper it can handle, though neither the speed nor print quality is particularly impressive. Duplex printing is restricted to A4 pages and is very slow so, although it can print on both sides of the paper, the machine's good roster of facilities may not be that useful.

In my photography I explore relationship between humankind, history and nature working mostly in northern territories of Russia and Finland. I combine my images with personal and collective archives looking for a mix of past and present.
I observe how the passage of time transforms surroundings and the perception of things I live through and try to recreate a mythological world in stasis. I'm curious about the continuous struggle between man-made structures and the natural order of things. I search for something beyond the surface, something that is not immediately visible.
I'm driven by a (perhaps) naive and romantic ambition to hold a disappearing past and hence to guarantee my present.

The program must have sized my photo correctly because it was not this big when I inserted the picture before I posted it. Thanks again for all the help.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
The program must have sized my photo correctly because it was not this big when I inserted the picture before I posted it. Thanks again for all the help.
I have just seen this thread and would love to join if that's ok. I have a king size bed and would like to enlarge it so that it would drape over nicely... does anyone know what size I should make the blocks for this, or at what % I could print out my pages from the book? Thanks for anyone who can help me. I hope to do the rainbow around the world look as Anina is doing on That Quilt.
Here's my first blocks. Hope this works.
Oh my goodness, so many wonderful blocks already! gls234: What a wonderful idea that of trip around the world! and urgodschild2: although I am a dog person, I have to say, those kitties are wonderfully cute.
My blocks are done, photographed. I have tried to post them here but I am having computer issues. Its on my end so if I can figure it out quickly I'll edit this post.
thatquilt.blogspot.com has B4 foundation pieced, but I chose hand piecing, so a few notes:
1. This is a good one to use "cut it big and trim" ( the length of patches, not the width)
2. It is critical to match the center of each corner strip
3 if the middle is coming out big/small, the width of the outside logs can be a compensation point w/o unsewing the center.
Last edited by QuiltnNan; 01-17-2012 at 10:57 AM.
I agree ND, that the center placement is critical. One thing I found in this block is that it is easier to sew all the diagonal strips together first and then sew them to the center. I tried one with going from the center out, then one sewing the corner strips together first - this is easier

before you speak THINK
T is it True? H is it Helpful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind?
Well, here are my first 3 blocks, and I am just doing scrappy, with some 30's charms, muted charms and country quilter's charms. I am also trying to use some of each quilt that has been made for grands, daughters and DH, so years down the line, the grands can look at this quilt and say, "That material was in my 13 year old quilt or my graduation quilt" lol Anyway, I am having fun with this, and am working ahead of the block guidelines, but know that down the road, I will get behind. Love all the ones that have posted so far. Actually this is my first scrappy quilt, so wish me luck
A home is built of peace and love,
and not of wood and stone,
a place where happiness lives
and memories are sewn.
How pretty, Spartan Quilter. Such perfect placement of the flower. Great job
These are the king bed sizes..King, 78 x 80. Cal. King, 72 x 84 with a 13" drop on 3 sides ....
King 104 x 93 and Cal. King 98 x 97. However, I think most quilts for Kings are around 105" square on up.
original DJ = 80.25" x 80.25" to convert to 105" square - ... 10500/80.5 = 130.43
You need an increase of at least 30%
If you enlarge all templates at 135% you will have a nice 109" square.

"La Bomba" Ready for McGirt
Interview by Scott Ploof; Photos by Emily Harney
Edwin "La Bomba" Rodriguez (16-0, 12 KOs) has the super middleweight division on notice. After going undefeated in his first sixteen professional fights, stopping twelve of them along the way, Rodriguez has displayed a lot of power and boxing ability in his very active, almost three year career. On November 5th, "La Bomba" will once again fight on "ShoBox: The New Generation" but this time in the main event of the evening in quite possibly his biggest test to date when he takes on James "Buddy" McGirt Jr. (22-2-1, 11 KOs) at the Scheels Arena, Fargo, North Dakota.
Earlier this week, FightNews had an opportunity to speak with Rodriguez about his career, the fight, and his future.
Who or what inspired you to start fighting professionally?
It was 1998 or 1999, it was Oscar De La Hoya against Ike Quartey, and it was the first fight I had ever seen and I had never seen anything like it. It took me a few years to get into boxing. I started training in 2002. My father never wanted me to get into boxing and stuff, but I convinced him.
How did you convince him?
I went down to the Boys Club one time after I said that I will fight, and the trainer liked me. What happened was I had gotten into a fight with my older brother and I beat him up, so my father wouldn't let me go down there. A few years later my amateur coach, Carlos Garcia, came down to my school at the time, and I said, "Coach, I would really love to go back to boxing, but my father won't let me. I had a little issue with my brother." At the time my father owned a convenience store, a little Spanish market. So he went into the convenience store and spoke to my father, the very next day I was in the gym everyday.
After compiling an outstanding amateur career (84-9), including a Golden Gloves championship in 2006, what do you feel are the best attributes that you bring with you into the ring?
I have a good jab, but it would have to be my body punches and my power.
Some have compared your body work to that of the legendary "Irish" Micky Ward.
(Sounding surprised) Wow, that is a big compliment.
What has, in your opinion, been your most memorable fight to date and why?
That has to be the Kevin Engel fight because he hit me with one good shot that hurt me a bit and I was able to come back from that adversity and knock him out a few rounds later.
Is Engel the first fighter in your opinion that has really tested you?
To be honest with you, he only tested me because he caught me with a good shot in the right place, but other than that, I feel that I had controlled the whole fight. The guy that has tested me the most to date is Darnell Boone. He is a guy that knocked down Andre Ward down when Andre only had seven fights, and he is the only guy that has done it. So I believe he was my toughest fight, he was just a slick professional. He was there the whole fight, but I was winning every round, but he was there. That is the guy that has tested me the most.
You stopped Ibahiem King (7-3, 2 KOs) at Mechanics Hall in your hometown of Worcester, MA. What was it like fighting in front of your friends and family?
It was a great feeling. Ibahiem King was a professional. He was a little green and young but he came to fight and just like a professional he was ready. He did not have too much of a notice because the opponent I was supposed to fight that night backed out at the last minute so he stepped up and came in great shape. He put up a great fight. I believe I ended up hitting him with a left hook that hurt him and then after that I just stayed on top of him. He was a professional.
You have compiled a stellar undefeated record in sixteen professional fights, knocking out twelve of them along the way. What do you feel has been the key to your success thus far?
My ability to stay focused and take things one fight at a time. Just to stay focused and be determined to be the best.
Do you consider yourself to be a power puncher?
I have power in both hands, but I feel that I can do anything a boxer can do. I can box, I can hit well to the body and bring it up to the head as well. I am a very versatile fighter. I can fight on the inside as well as on the outside. Most of the time I choose to fight on the inside as I feel more comfortable. It depends on who I am fighting against. I like to win and I can make whatever changes are needed to win the fight. I am a smart fighter as well. I am not just a strong fighter. I like to think in there. I love playing chess. It is just like a chess game, you have to stay ahead of your opponent mentally and also physically you got to beat em down. I believe my strength is my mind.
This Friday you are taking on your biggest test to date when you take on James McGirt Jr. (22-2-1, 11 KOs). What do you know about McGirt?
I know everything that there is to know. He is a great fighter and he is a really good boxer some days. Other days he is just average. There is a day if he shows up he is a world beater. That is what I am ready for. I am ready for the best McGirt. I hope he shows up because if the average McGirt shows up, he is going to get hurt. So I am ready for whatever he brings to the table. I have to prepare for the best McGirt that I have seen and he is a good fighter, a slick boxer, has a really good jab, and good head movement. But like I say, we will see which McGirt shows up. If he doesn't show up that night, he is going to get knocked out.
How do you think you two matchup in terms of boxing styles?
I think that it is going to be a very interesting fight because one thing about me, I don't like to have boring fights, and he does. It is not going to be a boring fight. I am going to bring the fight to him at some points. He is just one of those fighters that feels comfortable going at their own pace and dictating the pace of the fight. For the first few rounds its going to be about who is going to dictate the fight. That is a battle that I do not plan on losing.
This is not your first time on "ShoBox." Is there any added pressure to perform in front of a national television audience, does it motivate you to fight better?
It actually motivates me to fight better, train harder, and eat better. I am not only fighting on television again but I am also fighting in the main event on TV. I am fighting a name fighter that was a prospect at one time and was also a top ten contender in the middleweight division, so there is a lot of pressure but this is what we do. This is why we fight. We love to put on a show and give the fans what they paid to watch. I am just excited. I am excited to be able to be there with a good boxer and show the world how much better I am.
In preparation for this fight, how did the opportunity come about for you to travel to Australia to be a chief sparring partner for Danny Geale (24-1, 15 KOs)?
To be honest with you, it just came up in a Facebook message. Four days later I flew out to Australia and it was a great opportunity. Sparring with Danny Geale took me to a whole different level. I felt what an elite fighter hits like. I had some experience before I went in there. I just learned a lot being in a camp with those guys. We used to run together, there were like seven professional boxers and we all would wake up early and run together. We would then have a boxing workout, then at 3:30 we would have sparring sessions. It really helped me out a lot because it not just running and training, it was kind of like a team and it was a well put together team and a well put together routine. Just getting your body in the same routine everyday. Those guys had a great camp over there I was able to learn a lot. I also sparred with Jamie Pittman (20-2, 8 KOs) who is a 2004 Olympian southpaw who gave me great work. All of those guys are fighting on Saturday and I wish them all the best. Great people, I went to Australia all by myself and came back with a family over there because everybody is very, very laid back and it was a great country.
Editor's Note: Geale beat Roman Karmazin this past Saturday (October 31) in an IBF eliminator. He will fight the winner of the on October 31. Geale will challenge IBF middleweight champion Sebastian Sylvester for the title in 2011.
You have said that you are being treated like a king while in Australia. Tell us about your experience there?
I was treated really well like I said. I just fit in really good with everyone in Australia. Everyone in the gym treated me well, I treated them with respect. When you treat someone with respect, you get the same respect back. That is what I did. I treated everyone with respect like they were my family and at the end of the day we became a family. I am back home now and I miss those guys and I miss working out with those guys. I was staying with a family instead of staying in a hotel. I got really comfortable with them, they were very laid back just like myself, very nice people. Everything about that experience was just great. They took me around and showed me all around and I had a good time but at the same time I worked like an animal so I am just ready. I am focused. This is what we wanted ever since we turned professional and this is a great opportunity now and we are not going to let it go by without a fight.
What do you learn from your experience in Australia?
Boxing wise there were a lot of different things that we worked on. They bring a different mentality to the game and its not like I learned the secret punch or anything like that but seeing the way that they work together, and how they have a really legit routine where it happens everyday the same thing. It is good to see an elite level camp.
Having stopped your last four opponents in six rounds or less, do you feel that you will be ready to go the full ten rounds?
If you seen McGirt's fights, he is a good fighter for the whole fight so I have to. I am prepared, I have worked ten rounds over there a few times with an elite fighter. Hell ya I am ready. I just don't think he is going to, if he decides to fight me, he won't last the full ten rounds. I am ready for ten rounds and more.
Do you have a prediction for this fight?
I do but I am not going to throw it out there. (Edwin laughing)
How far away do you think we are from fighting for a world title?
Honestly, every fight that I have fought has been a learning experience. I think fighting a contender like McGirt is going to take me to a new level experience wise and also in my confidence. I would say like two to three fights after this one, I believe I will have learned more and be ready to challenge one of the guys for a title. Hopefully six months to a year.
Do you have any other words for your fans at FightNews?
Thank you for all of the support and you guys are going to get a knockout! Awww……..I just gave you the prediction, but I am not going to tell you what round!

Timpoochee Barnard
Yuchi Leader. Born one of eight children of a Scots trader, Timothy Barnard, and a Yuchi woman. He was taught the Yuchi dialect of his mother, the English of his father, and the Muscogee dialect of the Creek people since the Yuchi people had been largely exterminated or absorbed by the Creek and Cherokee by the 18th century. Barnard served as the agent of the Lower Creeks in 1793 and 1794 and was one of the interpreters at the Treaty of Coleraine in 1796. In January 1814 Barnard was commissioned major and placed in command of one hundred Yuchi warriors. Barnard fought with the Americans at the Battle of Callabee Creek. He was one of the signatories to the treaty of Fort Jackson in August 1814 which ended the Creek War. In 1818 under General Andrew Jackson he fought in the Seminole War and distinguishing himself in the Battle at Natural Bridge, where was rescued the only survivor of a massacre on the Apalachicola River. He took a Creek wife and settled near the Creek Agency on the Flint River in present day Georgia where he fathered six children. In 1825 Chief McIntosh of the Creek nation, signed the Treaty of Indian Springs which agreed to cede all Lower Creek land to Georgia. Barnard opposed the treaty, and was one of the delegation that went to Washington to protest against its validity. Barnard then retired to his home near Fort Mitchell in present day Alabama. He was believed to have been about 60 at the time of his death. Andrew Jackson would later eulogize Barnard to his son, William: "A braver man than your father never lived."

September 1, 2000 — Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers have discovered a way to shut down the inflammatory response in cells that spares related mechanisms that cells need in order to function properly. Their experiments have demonstrated that such treatment relieves inflammation in mice with surprising effectiveness.
In an article published in the September 1, 2000, issue of Science, HHMI investigator Sankar Ghosh and his colleagues at Yale University report that they have found a way to short circuit NF-kB, a central coordinator of the cell's inflammatory response. When NF-kB is triggered by an external chemical signal, NF-kB sets in motion the gene expression machinery that drives inflammation.
"It has become clear over the years that NF-kB plays a crucial, evolutionarily conserved role in the cell's response for getting rid of pathogens," said Ghosh. "As a byproduct of this immune response, inflammation can get out of control and cause pathogenic states. We now know that many diseases that at first glance don't seem to have much in common actually have inflammation as an underlying reason for their pathology." Alzheimer's disease, for example, might well involve inflammatory responses that damage brain tissue, Ghosh noted.
The most widely used anti-inflammatory drugs, including salicylates such as aspirin, and steroids, inhibit NF-kB to some extent, but they can also have severe side effects. The great need for more precise inhibitors of inflammation prompted Ghosh and his colleagues to look at ways to block inflammation by interfering with NF-kB.
The scientists knew that in unstimulated cells NF-kB remains in the cell's cytoplasm attached to inhibitory proteins known as IkBs. When an external inflammatory signal affects the cell, the IkB-kinase (IKK) complex—which consists of a pair of catalytic enzymes—is activated and phosphorylates the IkB proteins. The phosphorylated IkB is then rapidly degraded, thus freeing NF-kB to trigger the inflammatory process.
While the majority of research on blocking the inflammatory process has focused on blocking the catalytic activity of the IKK complex itself, Ghosh and his colleagues chose another route. "By themselves, the enzymes of the IKK complex don't respond to signals," explained Ghosh. "Each enzyme needs a regulatory subunit protein called NEMO, and it has been shown that when NEMO is knocked out in mice, NF-kB becomes unresponsive to signaling."
In a series of biochemical experiments, Ghosh and his colleagues sought to identify the minimal region of the IKK enzymes that interacted with NEMO. "We were quite surprised to find that a very small region of the IKK enzymes seemed to be completely responsible for interacting with NEMO," said Ghosh. The scientists called the region the NEMO-binding domain (NBD).
"We reasoned that if the NBD was such a small region, then maybe we could use it as a way to disrupt the whole IKK complex and prevent it from forming," said Ghosh. Sure enough, when the scientists synthesized a small peptide that mimicked the NBD and put it into cells, they discovered that NF-kB activation was blocked significantly.
"Then we raised the stakes," said Ghosh. "We decided to see if this blocking method would work in vivo in animals." The scientists used the NBD peptide to attempt to block inflammation in two mouse models where chemicals are used to induce inflammation artificially.
"In both models, when we injected our peptide, we observed quite a dramatic amelioration of the inflammatory process," said Ghosh. "I think that the remarkable anti-inflammatory effect that we achieved validates the approach of relieving inflammation by interfering with the activation of NF-kB alone. This approach should become a major focus of future research."
Ghosh also said that blocking the activation of NF-kB by external inflammatory factors quite likely spares the basal activity of the NF-kB machinery that operates via a different pathway, and which cells need for normal function.
"One of the concerns that has been raised about inhibiting NF-kB, is that NF-kB also has some beneficial effects, such as helping cells survive apoptosis, or programmed cell death," said Ghosh.
Ghosh and his colleagues are planning further studies to investigate the NEMO-IKK interaction. They are going to test the NBD peptide on mouse models of asthma and other diseases that involve inflammation. They also hope to initiate collaborations with pharmaceutical companies to develop mimics of the NBD peptide that can be used as precise inhibitors of inflammation.

Is Selena Gomez a Drunk? According to her ex, Justin Bieber, she is!
2014 has not been the best year for Justin Bieber. He has been in the news week after week for reckless, or just plain ridiculous, behavior. Most recently, Bieber was arrested for drag racing and DUI.
This week though it seems Bieber's ex, Selena Gomez, is the one making headlines.
Reports recently surfaced that Gomez privately spent two weeks in rehab for, what sources say, was a multitude of problems including pot, alcohol, and prescription ambien.
Gomez's decision to go to rehab was due, in part, to Justin Bieber. However, reports also say that Gomez blames her ex for problems.
Sources close to Bieber say he is laughing off the allegations. TMZ reports that Bieber acknowledges the fact that he gets wasted, but he also says Selena was "smoking as much weed as the guys and sometimes outdoing them." The same sources also say that Gomez was "heavy" into alcohol.
The icing on the cake are reports that Justin says he is happy he is no longer with Selena because she is "just too high maintenence...and out of control."

Don't we all love tutus? They're perfect for playtime – whether your little girl dresses up as a cheerleader or as a princess.
Holly at Heart Break Kids shows how simple it is to make your own tutus as home. They're so simple to make, you'll wonder why you never thought of making them before!
Adorable Crafty Corner post by Holly at Heart Break Kids:
Supplies needed:
First, get your princess's waist measurement.My daughter is two, and her waist is just shy of 20". When I make her a tutu, I start with a 16 ½" piece of elastic. That may sound small, but once you start tying on the tulle, the elastic is going to stretch out–a lot!
Take the elastic, overlap the ends about ½"-1", and sew them together. You can do this by hand or with a machine. I used to do them by hand, but now it is just more efficient for me to sew them on a machine.
I also like to "double sew" the ends, so that the elastic stays nice and flat. I sew one edge down, and then I slide the elastic over and sew the other edge down.
Clear as mud? Hopefully you get the picture. Literally, look at the picture:
Set your elastic aside, and get ready to cut your tulle. Depending on the size and length of the tutu, you will use anywhere from 25-75 yards of tulle.
Ten inches is the standard length that I use when making a tutu. However, depending on the age and size, I do make different lengths. For this tutu-orial (get it? tutu tutorial all together–cute right? no?) I am going to say we're making a 10" length tutu. So roll out 20" of tulle and cut. Roll out 20 more inches, and cut again. Repeat. And repeat. And repeat about a billion times. Okay. I exaggerate.
The number of pieces you will need to cut depends on how you want your finished product to look.If you want a very simple play tutu, you could get away with about 30 pieces. If you want your tutu to be a little bit more full, you probably want to start with 60 pieces. If you want a tutu like you see in my photos, you will want to start with 75-100 pieces.
So, start cutting! And don't worry about keeping the cut pieces all nice and flat. Just smoosh them in a pile and they will be fine.
I am just noticing that it is a bit hard to see the orange tulle that I am cutting in this picture. Trust me, I am actually cutting something!
Once you are done cutting, you are ready to start tying.
Take your elastic and stretch it around your book. (I use different books for each different width of tutu that I make. If I used the same book for every different width, they would all end up being about the same width in the end. So, find a book that has a circumference larger than your elastic, but still smaller than your princess's waist measurement–you don't want to stretch the elastic so far that it looses it's stretchiness!)
Take a piece of tulle, and find the middle. Slide the top of the tulle under the elastic, and make a slip not around the elastic. Repeat and repeat and repeat.
For play tutus, tie the knot loosely. For more full tutus, tie a tighter knot.
Find the middle
Slide the tulle under the elastic
Start your slip knot
Pull the ends through
Pull the ends down (this is a loose knot)
This is what the loose knots for a play tutu should look like
This is a tight knot
These are what your knots should look like for a fluffier tutu
After you have completely covered all of elastic with tulle, give the tutu a nice stretch.
There will be about an inch or two of elastic that comes out of the tulle like this:
Fill in the gap from the elastic stretch, and you will have a single layer tutu that looks like this:
Now, many people would stop there, and that is where I used to stop as well. However, since I have now made hundreds–literally hundreds!–of tutus, I have improved a bit and I have learned how to make my tutus even poofier!
So, if you want to keep going, here's what you need to do:
Continue tying more pieces of tulle onto the tutu with slip knots, but instead of pulling them so tight that they touch the elastic, make sure that they only cover the tulle from the first layer of your tutu. Do this all the way around the tutu, forming a second layer.
You will be amazed at how much fluffier your tutu gets!
Finally, I like to add a ribbon to my tutus.
In order to keep the ribbon from fraying, I very quickly burn the edges of the ribbon with a lighter. It only takes a second to form a seam, so be quick or you will melt your ribbon!

Home Technology For Seniors
Technology is really becoming useful to help seniors stay in their homes. Yesterday I took a technology for seniors workshop, then today I received this great info-graphic from the folks at Home Access Products.
There are several items that I like that I had not heard of before like the EasyFamily IPad App that will make it easier for seniors to stay in touch with their family.
The FitBit Flex sounds like a good idea and I like it; it resembles a trendy looking watch that my nephew's young wife is wearing. I may get one for myself.
I agree the Apple IPad is a great tool for seniors and after taking an AARP TEK workshop yesterday using an iPad Mini to demo, I want one. Nice! More info on AARP TEK see Technology Education Center.
Technologies that help seniors stay connected with friends and family are already good and will only get better as we boomer enter retirement and beyond.

Celtics [1] president of basketball operations Danny Ainge didn't want to trade Paul Pierce [2] or Kevin Garnett [3] at the NBA trade deadline — not for pennies on the dollar, he told the Big Show.
'We really like those guys,' said Ainge on Friday evening. 'I like Kevin and I like Paul a lot, and I didn't want to move them.'
Ainge wouldn't discuss how close he ever came to trading Garnett to the Clippers for Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan — other than to say, 'I never talked to Kevin' — or dealing Pierce to the Nets [4] for Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks and a pick.
"You don't just give them away,' he said. 'There is great value in those guys.'
So, Ainge apparently wasn't offered a deal that matched the value he places on either Garnett or Pierce, so he never had the opportunity that Red Auerbach [5] had. For some background, here's what Ainge told The Boston Globe [6] two years ago (h/t @trubygreen [7]):
"First of all, it's a different era. I sat with Red during a Christmas party (in the 1990s). Red was talking to Larry [Bird], Kevin [McHale] and myself and there was a lot of trade discussion at the time, and Red actually shared some of the trade discussions. And I told Red, what are you doing? Why are you waiting?
"He had a chance to trade Larry for Chuck Person, Herb Williams and [Steve] Stipanovich and he had a chance to trade Kevin for Detlef Schrempf and Sam Perkins. I was like, 'Are you kidding?' I mean, I feel that way now. If I were presented with those kind of deals for our aging veterans, it's a done deal."
On Friday, Ainge told the Big Show that deals like those weren't on the table for Garnett or Pierce this season.
"What I said is that I would've done those deals,' said Ainge. 'That's all I've said, and I hold true to that. Those deals don't exist, so there's a big, big difference between what you're trying to have me said and what I did say. '¦
'Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are playing much better at that stage of their careers than Kevin and Larry were at the same stage, so KG and Paul have been way, way more durable than Kevin and Larry ever were."
Pushed on the circus that surrounded Garnett in recent weeks, Ainge added, 'He's very loyal. Right now, he bleeds green, and he has a huge, huge impact on the development of our young players."
As for the deadline deal Ainge did make — trading the injured Leandro Barbosa [8] and Jason Collins [9] for Jordan Crawford — the C's president said, 'We are looking to replace Barbosa's scoring punch off the bench.'

The hidden costs of coal
February 25, 2011
(Image Credit: Creative Commons photo by eutrophication&hypoxia)
Energy from coal might seem cheap on the surface, but when you add in the costs of coal-related pollution and health issues, the true cost of coal starts looking pretty steep.
Coal-fired power plants spew toxins into our air while mountaintop removal mining practices destroy our mountains and pollute surrounding waterways. Here are just a few of the hidden annual costs of coal from the Appalachian region alone, according to a recent Harvard Medical School study:
- Public health: $75 billion
- Health costs due to air pollution from coal power plants: $187 billion
- Mercury emissions: $29 billion
- Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions: $206 billion
According to the study, adding up all of these hidden costs would increase the per kWh price for coal by almost 18 cents. To put that in perspective, coal power now costs around 12 cents per kWh. Solar power costs between 10 and 15 cents per kWh.
Almost 40 percent of our energy supply here in the U.S. comes from coal, so just using less power is one way to reduce the coal you consume. If you can, switching some or all of your home's power supply to alternative energy is amazing. For folks who can't afford the investment to get that going, there are other ways you can reduce your coal dependence.
Cutting back on vampire power by using a smart power strip and remembering to unplug unused chargers can go a long way toward saving energy and reducing your coal use. In the warmer months air conditioning is the largest power suck in many homes, so try to take some simple measures to cool your home without the air conditioner.
It also might be time to take a look at your electronics and appliances. From your washer and dryer to your TV and gaming consoles, opting for efficiency can make a big difference in energy savings.
Get heard! Sierra Club has a petition to protect communities from toxic coal ash. You can also let your legislators know how you feel about coal and its effects on our health.

New cement is carbon negative
February 24, 2011
Cement is one of the most significant single sources for carbon emissions, due to the intense energy required for its production and the volumes of it that are produced annually, as well as from material itself, but an alternative is now available. It doesn't just reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted, it actually binds more CO2 than is emitted from its production, which makes its production carbon negative.
Novacem has developed a new cement that uses magnesium silicate instead of calcium compounds. The new material is supposed to have performance and cost comparable to ordinary Portland cement. Furthermore, because the production of magnesium silicate is a lower energy process, it can be manufactured using biofuel, instead of requiring more intensive and polluting energy sources.
The company also notes that "production of our cement is carbon negative; more carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed during the process than is emitted." Manufacturing a tonne of this cement results in the absorption of up to 100 kg (220 lbs) of carbon dioxide more than is emitted in the process.
Magnesium oxide is widely available as well, so there should not be an issue of material scarcity with the use of this as a Portland cement replacement. The company is not producing the material itself, but is instead seeking to license its technology to producers.

Five best low-tech garden tools
February 23, 2011
Home improvement warehouse stores are full of gadgets and devices aimed at easing your gardening work. However, many successful home gardens are cultivated with a handful of good hand tools — and the high-tech alternatives often won't help you grow a tastier tomato or brighter begonias.
A gardener's toolkit requires little more than a trowel, fork, manual weeder, rake, and shears. Each time-tested tool beats several high-tech alternatives.
1. Shears: A good pair of bypass pruning shears can keep many trees and shrubs neat and tidy, while also helping harvest vegetables and flowers, clear away dead leaves and cut weeds away from the plants you want to keep.
Power pruners such as the Alligator Lopper add chainsaw teeth and electric scissor action. They may seem like a great idea, but sharp hand pruners are plenty powerful for most home gardeners. The Alligator Lopper may be more hazard than help in many homes.
Another overrated alternative is the Garden Groom collecting electric hedge trimmer. It looks like an oversized high-tech iron, and it trims away hedges, then shreds and collects the leaves all in one device. However, users complain it is too heavy and may not do the job. It only cuts a small amount at a time, so it requires several passes on many hedges. It also doesn't pick up all the debris.
2. Rake: Garden vacuums — either gas- or electric-powered — are popular among people anxious to keep a perfect yard. They suck up leaves and dirt, but that is the problem — dirt belongs in the yard. Instead consider raking the leaves and other debris, or simply leaving many of them where they fall.
This can create healthy mulch or compost and you don't have to send all those bags of vacuumed leaves to the landfill.Print This Post
