Receptacle under mirror
I hope this is the correct forum to post my issue/question for help.
The receptacle is behind the large mirror in our bathroom with mirror cut out for it, the receptacle box mount flush with the wall, with the 1/4" thick mirror in place, the face plate on top of the mirror, everytime we plug or unplug anything to this receptacle, finger almost get cut by the sharp edge of the face plate.
To remedy this issue, i removed the face plate to try to shim the receptacle outward to flush with mirror instead of the wall. Low and behold, the receptacle box mounted about 1/2" too low, the bottom screw half covered by the edge of the cut out. Able to removed the screw and receptacle by lifting the receptacle so the screw uncovered to unscrew it.
One thought i had was breaking the plastic box then cut the dry wall then replace the box higher, unfortunately the opening of the mirror cut out too small not allow me to slide the new box in (luckily i measured first before i break the box).
So my question is how to remedy this beside (a) get someone in to grind the mirror to get room for the screw (b) remove the mirror to relocate the box?
I hope with this long explanation make sense to you.
Thanks in advance.
You can go to a big box store and purchase a box extender. The most common maufacturer is Carlon.
Thought about install the box extender but afraid to put pressure on the mirror when tighten the receptacle up and during plug/unplug thing onto the receptacle?
Afraid to break this large mirror.
I never had a problem using these extenders. Most of the homes I wired were high end and had mirrors installed above sink. In fact most of the mirrors were 1/4" thick.
If I understand correctly -- the faceplate sits on top of the mirror surface, but the receptacle is recessed below the faceplate surface, exposing a sharp edge on the hole where the plug goes?
A box extender is the correct solution, but there are a couple options-
-remove the face plate and use some fine grit (like 200) to smooth the offending sharp edges on the face plate -- doesn't solve the real issue of the recessed box, but at least you won't scrape your fingers any more.
-place plastic shims between the receptacle mounting ears and the junction box to bring the receptacle flush with the mirror. A recessed box really should have a box extender, but with the box recessed in the mirror, you arguably don't have any exposed comustibles, making the shims acceptable. You'll find these in the electrical dept of your local big box store
-use a fine grinding stone or sanding disc in a dremel to enlarge the hole in the mirror so you can install the extender that you really should have.
Didn't know the fine grinding stone or sanding disc in a dremel will cut into glass/mirror.
Have anyone try this?

GM sales rose 8.9 per cent to 4.536 million units in the half-year ended June 30, the carmaker reported.
That compares with 4.13 million units at second-ranked Volkswagen and 3.71 million units for Toyota, including its luxury Lexus brand and affiliates Daihatsu and Hino Motors, according to statements by the companies.
Toyota's output slumped 23 per cent to 3.37 million units in the half-year after the company halted production following the magnitude-9 quake and tsunami in March.
Toyota expects production to fully recover beginning next month, one month earlier than previously announced, it said.
"Even if Toyota recovers production, it will take another few more months for sales to actually recover" as it takes time to deliver vehicles to dealers, said Takeshi Miyao, an analyst at consulting company Carnorama in Tokyo.
"Toyota's sales may trail behind Volkswagen in the full-year as well."
GM's US sales climbed to 669,065 vehicles in the second quarter, according to industry researcher Autodata Corp.
The Chevrolet Cruze was the top-selling car in the US market in June and the Chevy Silverado full-size pick-up remained the second- most popular vehicle, behind only Ford's F-Series line.
Hyundai had a 11 per cent jump in first-half deliveries of 1.96 million units.
GM emerged from bankruptcy in 2009 after a US$52 billion taxpayer-funded bailout orchestrated by the Obama administration. The US Treasury still owns 32 per cent of GM's common shares.
The company boosted its second-quarter earnings before interest and taxes by US$1 billion by pushing through higher prices on its vehicles globally.
GM's said its share of global vehicle sales rose to 12.2 per cent in the quarter, from 11.6 per cent a year earlier.
GM's quarterly profit nearly doubled in the second quarter, beating expectations.

Sunshine in the form of muffins, that is what these are. The inspiration for these comes from amazing sunshine corn cakes from Clementine. They are delicate, crumbly and have a bit of a crunch from the gritty corn. They have a sweet zesty touch from thick bits of orange throughout the muffin and a lovely thin slice of orange baked on top. Those are sunshine corn cakes.
Inspired by these delicious beauties I picked up some super sweet blood oranges from the farmers market this weekend. Blood orange plus corn meal and flour make a perfect muffin. My muffins use blood oranges rather than regular oranges. Let pulp, more juice and zest. They are bright, sweet and bring a little sunshine to your morning!
recipe below…
Blood Orange Corn Muffins
recipe adapted from Joy the Baker
makes 12 muffins
1 cup AP flour
1 cup cornmeal
6 tablespoons sugar
zest of two blood oranges
¼ cup blood orange juice (just squeeze the oranges your zest)
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons corn oil
1 large egg
½ cup corn kernels (fresh frozen or canned)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter or spray muffin pan.
Using a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, oil, egg and blood orange juice and zest. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and with a rubber spatula gently stir ingredients together until just combined. Divide batter evenly among muffin pan. Bake in oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Remove muffins from oven and allow to cool completely.

Now that everyone has rushed out and taken advanced first-aid courses, you need to equip your boat with the first-aid kit that has all the right articles necessary to handle any medical emergency that may arise. Your marine first-aid kit should be tailored to the specific needs of the crew and the general type of sailing you do.
If you are mainly a Chesapeake Bay sailor, for example, you would probably not need the sophisticated medical kit that a sailor making extended passages would have aboard. Consider, also, the varying needs of crewmembers. Do you or any of your crew have a preexisting medical condition? And, think about the waters you frequent. Do you routinely sail in an area with known local hazards, such as fire coral or jellyfish? Being aware of these contingencies and planning for them in the first-aid kit can be the difference between taking care of a minor medical problem and facing a disaster.
Marine medical kits can be categorized into 3 types: inland, near-coastal and voyaging. Each type kit is created around the expected needs of that sailing. If you choose to move from inland- to voyaging-type sailing, for example, it's a matter of simply augmenting the kit with the additional necessary items.
The inland kit
The inland kit contains articles used to treat the small, more common on-board injuries, such as; cuts, abrasions, contusions, minor burns, etc.
Here are the items that should be in an inland-type marine first-aid kit: bandages, dressings (include non-stick dressings, e.g. Telfa), gauze rolls, tape, Ace wraps, isopropyl alcohol, Betadine solution, hydrogen peroxide, sterile saline for irrigation, burn dressings and over-the-counter medications. Include a thermometer (oral and rectal), some sterile gloves, bandage and trauma scissors, tweezers, cold packs, eye-wash solution and antibiotic ointment packets.
The medications for the inland-type first-aid kit should include: aspirin and a non-aspirin pain relievers (Tylenol or Motrin), Maalox, Pepto-Bismol, Calamine lotion, Imodium, Benadryl, decongestant, sore-throat lozenges, hydrocortisone ointment, sunscreen and after-sun lotion. As for prescription medications, these need to be specific to any known problems.
To round out the kit, I would include a blood-pressure cuff and stethoscope. Even if you are not an expert at using them, someone on board may be and you will find them to be a useful diagnostic tool. They will also be essential equipment if you upgrade to a more sophisticated kit.
The near-coastal kit
The near-coastal kit, designed for use by sailors with some advanced first-aid training, contains, in addition to the items of the inland kit: splinting materials (a ladder splint, padded arm board and finger splints), an emergency dental kit (commercially available as a complete set), tongue depressors, Insta-glucose, petrolatum gauze, Steri-strips and/or butterfly bandages, K-Y Lubricating jelly, a naso-gastric tube, some large trauma dressings and an emergency space blanket.
The medications in the near-coastal kit include those in the inland plus: Lomotil, Dulcolax or Senekot, glycerine suppositories, Lotrimin antifungal cream and Monistat cream and vaginal suppositories. I recommend Silvadene cream for more severe burns (it is rather expensive but well worth it for second-degree burns). Oral antibiotics include Ampicillin 250 mg, Augmentin 500/125 mg, Keflex 500 mg, Ciprofloxacin 500 mg, Erythromycin 500 mg, Tetracycline 150 mg and Bactrim DS. You should have sublingual nitroglycerine 0.4 mg, Darvocet N-100 or Percocet.
The near-coastal kit should also contain intravenous and suturing supplies. You should carry 1 or 2 1000 cc bags of Lactated Ringers solution with tubing, an IV start kit and some 18- and 20-gauge IV catheters. For suturing, you will need a surgical scrub brush, surgical instrument tray (containing sterile scissors, hemostats and clamps), Lidocaine 1% without epinephrine (20 cc multi-dose vial), a needle "driver", disposable scalpel, syringes (5, 10 and 20 cc), needles (18-, 21- and 25-gauge), some Vicryl (2-0) and Ethilon (3-0, 4-0) suture. Obviously, these items require training over and above advanced first-aid, but the skills are not difficult to learn and you needn't be a surgeon to get the job done.
The voyaging kit
The voyaging kit, with still more items added to the kit, is the highest level medical kit. It should augment the dressings and bandages with more bulky and trauma dressings, roller gauze, sterile eye pads, a burn sheet, fiberglass cast material and padding. More Betadine solution, saline irrigation solution, Burrow's solution (for fungal infections), isopropyl alcohol and alcohol wipes, sterile gloves, suturing materials, IV fluids and syringes. You will need a Foley catheter (16 French) and some gauze drains.
Medications will include Mannitol 25% (IV), Lasix 20 mg (IV and oral), Atropine sulfate 1 mg (IV), Ceftriaxone 1 gm vials with Diluent (IV antibiotic), Demerol 50 mg/ml, Morphine sulfate 10 mg/ml, Medrol 40 mg vials and Epinephrine 1:1000 30 cc vial, Prednisone 5 mg tablets, Compazine suppositories, Albuterol inhaler, Auralgan ear drops, 10% sulfacetamide eye ointment and Garamycin topical antibiotic.
There are other items that, given the medical history of the crew and the specific cruising grounds, your health care provider may recommend.
In my future articles covering minor and major trauma, illnesses and infections, I will refer back to these supplies. Hopefully, this will help clarify the reason for carrying this equipment.
Your boat's medical first-aid kit is as important as your sail inventory. As with a storm trysail, it is far better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it at all.1/99

2011 Grand Cherokee XenonDepot complete bulb replacement
Just wanted to give some HUGE props to Steve and his crew over at XenonDepot (KBcarstuff.kizzle)
So after contacting Steve about doing the entire rig, I ordered half of the bulbs first. I went off my car manual and the forum's posts for what should have been my bulbs. What a mistake. After getting the bulbs from Steve, popping out the lenses, half of them were not the bulb that was in my Jeep. Completely different. Not the fault of Steve, but my Jeep for some reason isn't the same as most. I took photos of the bulbs so that he could see the number on the bulb and emailed. After reading my email and identifying the actual bulbs in my Jeep, Steve sent me replacements without hesitation.
All the bulbs inside my Jeep were some version of the 194 except the vanity lights which were the smallest festoon.
Vanity bulbs listed as V26377, I had TS14VICP. Replaced with PhilipsBlueVision C5W569 Festoon 6k
Cargo bulbs listed as 214–2 a festoon type, I had Toshiba 12v8wx.
Grab handles listed as L002825W5W, I had Toshiba 12v6wx.
Dome bulbs listed as VT4976, I had Toshiba 12v6wx,
Footwell bulbs listed as HT906, I had HT906
Glove box is listed as a 194, I had Toshiba 12v6wx
I installed Phillips Blue Vision 129666000KX2 6000k bulbs everywhere inside. What a 100% difference and an amazing look. Installation of all these was pretty simple. Two small computer flat head screw drivers was enough to pop the lenses out. Including the rear cargo lights. If you take a flashlight and look at the lenses, you can see the pins. Just push one screwdriver in at the pin, pry real easy and it should pop right up. Use the other to pop the lens out. Take your time with the bulbs that are set back, they do come out.
2nd half of the bulbs ordered.
Installed my Xenon Xtreme Digital XT-H11 5000k and again, couldn't be more happy. Not to blue at all, almost like a frost ice look. Had to call Steve for help on the polarity, which ended up being a piece of cake to change the pins inside the connectors. HID's where now installed. To install the HID's, I took off the air filter and components at the driver side and a small fuse block on the passenger side. Reach in, turned the bulb housing and it came right out. Mounted resistors, ran wires and covered everything up with split loom. Do yourself a favor and don't rush this.
Installed Osram Night Breaker 5000k 9005NBPHCB for the high beams. When I first drove the Jeep and used the high beams, I just laughed. These bulbs travel quite a distance and light it up. Simply awesome. Install for these were the same place as the Low beams.
Went to install the DRL's and what do ya know, a different bulb. Everything points to a 3157, but I had HT7444NA's. Photo'd bulb, emailed Steve, and again without hesitation, sends me the correct bulbs. I was impressed because this was no fault of XenonDepot. My original DRL was an orange bulb, but I went with the 287431W – 7443 White. DRL's were probably the toughest to install. The angle your arm has to get in to reach and turn the bulb is odd.
I replaced the fogs PSX24W with H16/5202 Putco Halogen Performance Bulbs Ion Spark White. Pretty easy to change out. Undo the pins at the wheel well and the one screw. Pull back the cover and secure against the tire and right in front of you is the fog light housing. Couldn't be any easier. After installing the fogs, I didn't like the Ion Spark White color because it didn't match the DRL's or Lows. I was a little hesitant to call Steve to say I didn't like the color. Didn't even phase him, he was going to replace them with another, but I decided to just go with the Xenon Xtreme Digital HID 5000k to match the lows. The combination of Fogs, Lows and DRL's looks great. I made sure to lower the beams from the HID's so as to not blind anyone coming towards me.
Since XenonDepot does not have a rear taillight kit, I had ordered a WK2 RFLUK from Tailight Solutions at the same time I ordered the first set of bulbs. This is a really cool product Tailight Solutions has. I've had two people ask me to roll down my window and ask about how I got the lights to work. Really easy to install using their directions. I changed out their reverse bulb and put in a Putco Neutron 287401W Of course I broke two of the pins to get to the tail light. Use the two small screwdrivers to pop the pins out. Take your time and go slow lifting the pins up. Great product. Thank you Tailight Solutions.
While I had the tailgate up, I changed out the tailgate reverse lights W16W to Putco Neutron 921 W16W. With these two reverse bulbs, backing up at night is awesome. Everything behind me is lit up. No need to completely take off the tailgate panel. Pry the panel up with a flat head slowly at the bottom corner and use fingers to un snap the pins until you can reach the bulbs. Really easy. You can reach the Cargo bulbs housing from here if needed from replacing cargo bulbs.
2nd set of bulbs arrive.
I changed the front orange side markers W5W with 194 High Power Amber. This is probably the easies to change besides the Fog lights. Undo the pins and one screw at the tire well. Turn your tires to the left to get to the right tire well and to the right to get to the left tire well. Once the tire well guard is up and secure, you can see all the lights. Turn bulb housing, pull out, replace and put back.
As I go to test drive the Jeep, I put the blinker on and I get the rapid flash message. Once again, I call Steve and once again, without any hesitation, he sends me a set of resistors to put at the blinker. 4 days later, resistors arrive. Now my manual says I have a T20 Front Park/Turn bulb. I haven't seen this bulb. My DRL is the blinker. I spliced in the resistor to the blinker wire (there are 2 wires at the assembly) and BINGO. No more message.
Not sure if everyone that has installed the Xtreme HID Kits knows this, but the fuse holders can all be attached to each other by sliding front of one into back of other. Makes installation looks good. I used split loom to hide my wires and zip ties to hold everything in place.
I know this was long, but I had to post about how professional Steve and his crew at XenonDepot (KBcarstuff) were. Absolutely no hassles or gripes about how many times I called. Without a doubt, I recommend XenonDepot for not only their product, but their customer service as well. Thanks for making a 3 month project turn out great. Exactly how I was hoping it would look.
I will post photos soon
Now on to the Golf Cart.

On any ordinary school day, around 16,000 young people aged 11-15 are absent because of bullying, and 20% of young people say cyberbullying has made them reluctant to go to school. Apart from being extremely traumatic, bullying leads to children failing exams, dropping out of sport, avoiding extra-curricular activities and generally having their life choices limited. So the theme of this year's Anti-Bullying Week (19-23 November) is bullying as a barrier to achievement, with the rallying call: "We're better without bullying".
The Guardian Teacher Network has some vital resources to help explore bullying and the long-lasting damage it can cause. The Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA), the group of 140 organisations that run the week in order to increase awareness of bullying, have produced guidance for teachers and school-leaders, parents and carers, governors and FE colleges to get the most out of the week.
East Sussex LA have created this comprehensive lesson plan and accompanying presentation for Anti-Bullying Week 2012 focusing on bullying as a barrier to achievement. It has also created some anti-bullying games in the style of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? for primary and secondary.
See these Anti-Bullying Week ideas for schools from the ABA, including creating an anti-bullying charter for sports teams.
These questionnaires for key stage 2 pupils, key stage 3-4 pupils and parents or carers have been designed to help gauge just how bad the problem of bullying is in a school.
Also find this anti-bullying assessment tool kit to help schools measure their progress in anti-bullying work – there is also a short version available.
BeatBullying has some powerful resources that can be used in Anti-Bullying Week and throughout the school year.
Students' strong feelings about bullying can be harnessed by writing a letter to their local MP about making bullying unacceptable. BeatBullying provides everything needed to achieve this with a lesson plan, PowerPoint presentation, letter template and hints and tips on writing a really powerful letter.
Speak Out is a thought-provoking lesson plan – and accompanying pledge board – which asks pupils to reflect on bullying scenarios in schools, in the community and online and gives young people an opportunity to translate their advice into a pledge for how they will make bullying unacceptable.
My apology helps students identify their feelings and gain a better understanding of the feelings of others. The lesson is designed to explore how students can be in touch with their own sense of power, and how this can be used positively.
BeatBullying has also produced a series of individual missions for young people to undertake from home. Find this one on writing an anti-bullying blog and the Secret Supporter mission, where young people are challenged to let someone know that they value them, without the person finding out who they are.
BeatBullying has collaborated with Film Club to produce this fantastic guide to films, which can be a meaningful route into debate and discussion on bullying.
There are even more teaching resources to come from BeatBullying in the days leading up to Anti-Bullying Week so keep an eye on this for any this round-up has missed.
It's also well worth finding out more about BeatBullying's Cybermentors programme. This lesson plan, suitable for all key stages, explains it, plus see these primary and secondary assemblies.
Thanks also to teacher Ian Paish for this excellent anti-bullying unit. It's been written for year 7 tutors, but can be adapted for other years. There are 14 sessions, each planned to last for about 15 minutes, so perfect for tutor time.

Environmental groups are concerned that water quality and volumes in our rivers and lakes could be severely affected if the Government decides to move ahead with suggested amendments to the Resource Management Act.
The Bay of Plenty Times Weekend reported that a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) report on proposed RMA changes has prompted an open letter to Environment Minister Amy Adams.
The environmental groups say the proposals would substantially lower environmental standards - and that goes against the core purpose of the legislation.
Recommendations such as the removal of terms like 'protect", "preserve", "maintain" and "enhance" "smacked of political opportunism to fit a perceived government economic growth agenda," they said.
Removing these terms from the Act would represent a dramatic change - so it would appear that these groups are right to be concerned.
Fish and Game chief executive Bryce Johnson has called the proposals an "out-and-out attack on the environment" that will pave the way for rampant and unsustainable development.
However, Tauranga National MP Simon Bridges says no decisions have yet been made and has defended the Government's position, saying an overhaul of the RMA has been a hot issue in the electorate.
The Government, he says, will listen to all perspectives across the political spectrum before it makes decisions but points out his party campaigned at both the 2008 and 2011 election on ongoing RMA reform.
The Resource Management Act does seem to slow down development and it's not uncommon for those in the industry to express frustration with the Act.
Of course, development boosts economic activity, but a middle ground has to be found - however difficult that may prove to be.
Removing terms like "protect" and "preserve" and "maintain" from the Act, in my view, is not they way to achieve this.
Removing those terms would undermine efforts to protect and value natural environments.
The Government needs to carefully balance the frustrations expressed by industry against the need to protect the environment for future generations.

When Max Hill, 94, was admitted to Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center with pneumonia in March, his daughter, Janet Frekko, was right there with him.
Janet spent most of her time – day and night – by her father's bedside, from the emergency room to his third-floor inpatient room and on to the intensive care unit (ICU). It was a role she was honored to fill, but the constant vigil wasn't easy. Even a quick trip to the restroom or Garden Terrace Café meant her father would be left alone longer than she liked.
Little did Janet know that her own support system was right around the corner.
Sharon Bingham, an environmental services technician, was cleaning in the ICU when she recognized Max from the hospital's cardiac rehabilitation program. Max had joined in 1991 following an angioplasty and stent placement, and Lillie – his wife of 73 years – joined in 2004 after receiving her own stent. The pair attended three times a week, walking laps in the halls and lifting weights in the Better Health Gym.
"Every morning I saw them walking, she'd always be ahead of him," Sharon recalls. "And I'd tell him, 'You'd better catch up to her – she's leaving you behind.' They were just so sweet. So when I saw him in the ICU and saw that his daughter needed a break, I offered to sit with him a while so she could get some fresh air."
For several days, Sharon would come in and relieve Janet so she could take a walk, get something to eat or make a phone call. The breaks were brief but greatly appreciated.
"She was so kind to come and sit with him because that clearly was not her job – she was there to clean," Janet says. "But that's what made it all the more special."
Max passed away five days after being admitted. And while their interaction was brief, Janet will never forget the woman who stopped to care for her while she was caring for her father. "I will be eternally grateful for her kindness," Janet says.
For her part, Sharon doesn't believe the time she spent with Max – or with other ICU patients whose families need a short respite – is all that noteworthy. These small acts of kindness are just part of her nature. "Sitting with him was my privilege," she adds. "I just wish I could have done more."

What is the ship in the upper left hand corner of the following pic? Also if you can point me in the direction of any detailed images of the ship, that would be much appreciated. Also, I can't remember right off, but were Tie Fighters only used in outer space, or could one be used, say in an area like the image below?

Kevin Garnett (sick, adductor) out against Heat
|03.18.13 at 6:54 pm ET
The Celtics will not have Kevin Garnett available as they try to end the 22-game winning streak of the Heat on Monday night at TD Garden. The Celtics made the announcement just over an hour before their game against LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the Heat, who with a win on Monday night will establish sole possession of the second-longest winning streak in NBA history.
Doc Rivers confirmed the decision about 45 minutes before the game but said the actual reason for Garnett missing the game is not the adductor strain but rather flu-like symptoms. Garnett reported to the Garden for the game but was told by Rivers to go home and not play Monday. Rivers said Garnett would have played if he were not sick.
Rivers said Garnett will travel with the team as it begins a three-game road trip in New Orleans on Wednesday night.
Only the 1971-72 Lakers, with a 33-game streak, would have a longer one in league history.
Garnett suffered a strained adductor (groin) in his left leg last week and missed Saturday's win over the Bobcats. This means the Celtics will not have Garnett or Jared Sullinger (back surgery) for their rematch of the double-overtime game won by the Celtics on Jan. 27 at the Garden. Both Garnett and Sullinger played in the game.
Garnett did not practice on Sunday and was not at the team's shootaround Monday morning in Waltham.

Is this new vented suit the "Ultra Breeze", or is it a Knock-off? They say "breeze" in the product description.
Is this new vented suit the "Ultra Breeze", or is it a Knock-off? They say "breeze" in the product description.
9th year beekeeper, about 20 hives.
Can't really tell from the photo's. You could call and ask them. I've found Mann Lake to be very honest. It's only a matter of time before someone copies Ultrabreeze anyway.
Looks like a copy.
Dan Hayden 5 Years. 10 hives. Tx Free. USDA Zone 5b.
Can't tell either, but it sure looks the same. I own an Ultrabreeze and LOVE it. Mann Lake suits are a whole lot cheaper. If I were buying a new suit this year, it would be one of the "breeze" suits.
Jackson, MO
Beekeeping With Twenty-five Hives: https://www.createspace.com/4152725
It looks exactly like my breathable from pigeon mountain trading company, I think I will call them to see if thats where they are getting them, when I feel a little better, got the flu now. The one I have from PMTC is top notch and Mann lake sells top top stuff I would go for it if I didn't already have one. Finaly lower priced breathables!
All beekeepers can agree on one thing, and that one thing is, that all beekeepers can't agree on one thing.
Someone please buy one and report back!
Charlie, a few days ago it was cool. I'd like to know how it does today all day in it. It's supposed to get to 90 today. I was in my full suit though a few days ago and was sweating all over so yeah, maybe I'll get one.
Mr. Happy,
I'll be handling swarm calls all day today so thank God I bought it. I did splits yesterday and it worked great. I'll let you know how it goes.
Hi,I am Sergey. New on this forum.
I have PM full vented suit with round veil. It is heavier than cotton but it does breeze! I am in California and wear minimal clothes underneath - it is 5x cooler than cotton one. Also,it seems to me it is 100% bee-sting proof. Zipper is bronze (brass?),works very well without waxing. Veil zipper part is a little bit unusual, but works fine as soon as you get familiar with it. This is pro.
Couple things, which I do not like or feel it may be better:
- the bottom part of the pants does not have a zipper, so one needs to put suit first and than shoes. It also has no elastic band to minimize the gap between pants and shoes.
- the end of the sleeves is very rough - it erodes my not very fine skin on wrists.
- the elastic band to keep sleeves put broke next day.
- leather gloves (separate from the suit) are very comfortable, but fabric mesh part broke after a few uses - bee-size holes in the mesh...
Few more things:
- PM is very nice. I ordered suit, which apparently was 3x bigger than me. PM agreed to exchange it without any problem. New suit was on back-order, so I need to wait for 3 months... but, they even did not charge me extra shipping...very nice.
- keep in mind that this is "plastic" fabric, it did not shrink and quite rough (eroded my skin at wrists). Do not repeat my mistake- order your exact size or one size up if you really tall. I am 6' and XL was gigantic on me. Thing is that it should not be too baggy - fabric is literally 100%-proof against stings.
- Except the wrists, the suit is very comfortable.
- I really like round veil- you could move your head and there is some breeze also!
- it is my understanding that this bee-suit is lighter than real Ultrabreeze (read somewhere on the Internet).
- It is made in India.
- The "hat", which supports round veil made from thin cotton and need some sort of reinforcement - bees could very easily sting through. I am using a "secondary" hat to keep distance between veil-hat and my head - works fine, no problem.
Good luck with choosing the suit.

I am 6' tall and medium completion (waist 32). I use PM suite size L. Originally I ordered XL and it was HUGE! I returned it back and order "L", which was on back order for 3 month. Once I got it, I am quite pleased with it. See detailed review above. Also,it does not have a zippers on the legs. Sergey
Thanks for the comments.

I can't speak about the Pigeon Mountain quality but looking at their site it appears that the only difference is one is a jacket and one is a suit. Yes, you want to order a little bit large. If the suit becomes tight against the skin, you can be stung through it. So, larger works better especially when you are lifting or bending.
Серёжа, Sergey
We use ventilated bee suits from a small company in Georgia called Pigeon Mountain, the quality seems to be very good, they back them up with a if you are not happy there is a money back policy with the bee suits. Have not seen a better made ventilated bee suit or a better price anywhere. Ventilated Bee Wear
A little beeswax on the zipper makes them work great.
Is funny you mention the zipper, we have about 100 hives, one of the guys had worn a Pigeon Mountain ventilated suit for about a year, suit looked terrible, dirty, torn, zipper broke, sent it to Pigeon Mountian, they replaced the zipper, washed it and sent it back. Never expected that to happen, we were surprised and bought more.
Have used ultra breeze suits for years bought two Mann lake jackets this year for two guys that work for us and the are hanging in the barn. When asked why they are wearing their old suits they said zippers are a problem and the overall fit was poor Especially the hood, hard to flip back
Also, I found the vented material to be rough on your skin.

U.S. avoids default but fails to dispel economy fears
By Andy Sullivan and Jeff Mason
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States stepped back from the brink of default on Tuesday but congressional approval of a last-gasp deficit-cutting plan failed to dispel fears of a credit downgrade and future tax and spending feuds.
President Barack Obama and lawmakers from across the political divide expressed relief over the hard-won compromise to raise U.S. borrowing authority. Nevertheless, U.S. stocks fell sharply as investors fretted over persistent economic and political uncertainties dogging the world's largest economy.
The possibility of an eventual downgrade of the top-notch American credit rating grew when Moody's Investors Service, one of the three major ratings agencies, said it was slapping a negative outlook on America's AAA-rated sovereign debt.
The move, announced after U.S. markets closed, could lead to a downgrade within 12 to 18 months that would probably raise borrowing costs and further hurt the struggling U.S. economy.
Moody's, affirming the AAA rating, said the deal signed by Obama was a first step toward fixing the budget problems but that the United States was at risk of a downgrade if there was a weakening of fiscal discipline in the coming year, if no further measures were taken in 2013 or if the economy deteriorated.
Another agency, Fitch Ratings, did not rule out slapping a negative outlook on the U.S. AAA rating when it concludes a review of the country later this month, the agency's top analyst for the United States told Reuters on Tuesday.
Ratings agency Standard and Poor's said in mid-July there was a 50-50 chance it would cut the U.S. rating in the next three months if lawmakers failed to craft a meaningful deficit-cutting plan.
The $2.1 trillion deficit-reduction plan approved by Congress falls short of S&P's previous assertion that $4 trillion in deficit-reduction measures would be needed to show that Washington was putting the country's finances in order. Continued...

Ubuntu Software Centre has great potential
Also, the Ubuntu Software Centre should start charging for open source software and help out the hard working programmers that bring us great apps for the GNU/Linux desktop. This would enable the programmers and the many great open source projects to earn a revenue from the software they produce. Advanced games would be more plentiful and complex software would be available as well. The Ubuntu Software Centre has a lot of potential to create a great market for excellent GNU/Linux software and a great stream of revenue for open source programmers that are struggling to turn a profit. I hope that the next few versions of Ubuntu will have these great features implemented. The Software Centre can spur a new class of great applications for the GNU/Linux platform and bring more users to use Linux as their primary operating system.

1. Re: How to auto adjust images in imageJ?896874 Nov 4, 2011 3:27 AM (in response to 897927)Your calling class needs to be at that access modifier allowance ,
since your caller probably isn't,
you can make a small class with that access level(no specifier - is between protected and private) to join it that you can reference with your caller package level,
or probably better, a nested class of that access level in your caller class with global scope instantiation in your caller.
*// not all syntax is here - This just to give you a guide of the type of access specifier shuffling and reprocessing to obtain the methods variables at the same level as obtaining the ability to call the method , it may be more practical to target the class in imageJ that instantiates the ContrastAdjuster class and simply obtain its reference to ContrastAdjuster*
*//ContrastAdjuster adj - should be passed from wherever it is instantiated , presumably its in a higher level class frame in the application*
public class IwasCalling{
CallAutoAdjuster callAUTContraster;
public IwasCalling(ContrastAdjuster adj){
callAUTContraster = new CallAutoAdjuster();
//start nested class
class CallAutoAdjuster{
void callAutoAdjuster(){
autoAdjust(imp,ip); // ImagePlus imp , ImageProcessor ip
}//end method
}//end nested
}//end iwascalling
Edited by: 893871 on Nov 3, 2011 6:53 PM
After taking a good look at the .java files
--i find the doAutoAdjust variable requires to be set in the public class ContrastAdjuster and call notify()--
..and i have no idea how i lost the plot there... it was the contrast slider value you wanted
so a method would be from some class you create
Edited by: 893871 on Nov 3, 2011 8:15 PM
// contr is the reference to the ij plugin frame extended from JFrame that ContrastAdjuster.java extends from // public int adJustContrast(int slideVal){ // this listener method sets an int in ContrastAdjuster public synchronized void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) // with the line contrastValue = contrastSlider.getValue(); // int sliderRange = 256; this global int is divided by two appears to be the Max for contrast and the or a scrollbar appears to be a make-shift slider value changer contr.contrastValue = slideVal; // global accessible int in ContrastAdjuster return contr.contrastValue; } public boolean adjAuto(){ contr.doAutoAdjust = true; return contr.doAutoAdjust; } public void updateNotifyComm(){ // now update the app contr.notify(); } //............... so you would call from somewhere to do it by this after making those methods adJustContrast(contr.contrastSlider.getValue()); updateNotifyComm(); // or just running code of contr.notify(); // i have no idea how that became boolean doAutoAdjust in my mind // for auto adjust adjAuto(); updateNotifyComm();

It's Durango vs Orbis: The Head to Toe Analysis.
Few weeks back we heard about the upcoming gaming consoles from Sony and Microsoft, where there were a lot of speculations and rumors about their features. So, here we have the both next-generation gaming consoles, Orbis and Durango respectively. Let's do a quick head to toe analysis of both, finding what they have to offer and which one is better off.
An interesting fact about Durango and Orbis is that both consoles are very much similar. And that's because Sony and Microsoft faced the exact same challenges and went to the same people to find the solution, resulting in very similar end-products. Talking about the similarities, both consoles feature same CPU – an eight-core AMD offering running at 1.6GHz and based on its forthcoming low-power, high-performance architecture, Jaguar.
RAM/ Bandwidth
Durango ships with 8GB RAM (with 6.5 GB for games) unlike 4GB RAM (3.5 GB for games) of Sony Orbis. A winner at this point, Microsoft's hopes for the new Xbox to be more than just a games machine. While there are rumors of 6GB/8GB upgrades to Orbis, we believe it is unlikely to happen.
However, considering the Orbis has a non-split memory structure and a RAM that will not need a lot of optimization from developers, we could see games running better on the system until developers can learn how to take advantage of the Durango RAM structure properly.
As mentioned above, both Durango and Orbis run on 8 core CPU at 1.6 Ghz. While Orbis is rumored to be shipping with a shared 512MB L2 cache and on the other hand the Durango will have 4MB L2 cache.
Direct X 11 vs. LibGCM
With Orbis, Sony is using a new variant of the LibGCM library, which was also used in PS3 and Vita. On the other hand, Durango utilizes enhanced Direct X 11, the customized version of which, i.e., DX9, was utilized by 360.
Durango has allocated 1.5 GB to the operating system, so one can expect more social applications on the Durango during its life time. Sony on the other hand is allocating 0.5 GB to the OS, which should run a decent number of applications.
The Verdict
Taking a look at overall features of both gaming consoles, Orbis looks more powerful and more games-focused design. But Microsoft has livened up to its plans for the Xbox hardware extending beyond gaming, making it a next-gen media centre. We may need to wait for a few days more and get our hands of real consoles to answer which one is a better baby.
Looking at what we know about the Durango (Xbox720) it also has gobs of power planned for general-computing and entertainment, lending further credence to the hypothesis that Microsoft is making a move for the premium entertainment market–not unexpected with Xbox positioned in the living room so well already. The Orbis also shows some promise with the Sony Gaikai buy and the possibility this means inherent video/media streaming on the PS4.

Arms inspector undermines torture denials
Page Tools
Fresh doubt has been cast on the Federal Government's claims that no Australians were involved in interrogations of Iraqi prisoners. The former head of weapons inspections in Iraq
was to tell ABC's Lateline last night that he was "almost positive" Australians were engaged in areas where interrogations "might have been going on".
The Government has been forced to defend itself against accusations by the Opposition that it lied about the role Australians played in Iraq and the dealings they had with Iraqi prisoners, following the claims of a former defence intelligence officer, Rob Barton, that he was personally involved in interrogations.
The Defence Minister, Robert Hill, and the Prime Minister, John Howard, said last year in the wake of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal that no Australians were involved in interrogations.
The Government now says there is a difference between interviewing prisoners - which Australian were permitted to do - and interrogating them, which they were not.
But David Kay, an American who held the top job in the Iraq Survey Group, responsible for weapons inspections, until January last year, gave credence to Mr Barton's claims that he was involved in interrogations.
Mr Kay said Australians " had been engaged in areas where there might have been interrogations going on".
"I wouldn't be surprised if there were some that were in the room while interrogations were carried out," he said.
"Anyone that was in a room with a prisoner was engaged in interrogation; they weren't playing bridge."
Mr Howard tried to turn the tables on Labor yesterday, breaking from his strategy all week of deflecting questions to Senator Hill and for the first time defending his minister and the Defence Department.
"We have to rely on the information that is provided to us by the Defence Department," Mr Howard said in Parliament.
"I think the Defence people have done their level best to provide accurate information to the Senate, accurate information to ministers and accurate information to me."
Answering questions by the Opposition Leader, Kim Beazley, Labor's defence spokesman, Robert McClelland, and its foreign affairs spokesman, Kevin Rudd, Mr Howard accused Labor of trying to smear the defence force and Senator Hill.
"This exercise we have had over the past few days has been a nitpicking attempt to damage the political reputation of the Minister for Defence," he said.
In a Senate estimates hearing, senior officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade revealed that they were not informed until last week by the Defence Department that it wrote to the US ambassador, Tom Schieffer, last June about Mr Barton's allegations of Iraqi prisoner abuse.
After Mr Barton's claims were passed onto the Americans, a military investigator was sent to Australia to interview him.
A Labor senator, John Faulkner said he was gobsmacked.
He asked asked a Foreign Affairs and Trade official, Doug Chester: "Surely this is a matter that goes to the US relationship, and impacts on your work quite directly. You think it is unusual that you would not be informed?"
Mr Chester admitted that he would have expected to have been notified.

A mix of veteran leadership and talented freshmen highlight the 38th season of University of Michigan field hockey, which is set to open the 2010 season Saturday (Aug. 28) at the ACC/Big Ten Challenge in Chapel Hill, N.C. The Wolverines' schedule once again is heavy on nationally ranked opponents, as all six teams in the Big Ten Conference received mention in the Kookaburra/NFHCA Preseason Coaches' poll.
The Maize and Blue returns seven starters from last year's squad that finished 7-14 overall and 2-4 in the Big Ten. Many of those losses could have gone either way, as the Wolverines lost by one goal 10 times and had three overtime defeats. This preseason, U-M's slogan has been 'One More', as in one more sprint, one more drill and one more ounce of effort can be the difference in winning those games once the season comes around.
"Our mantra this year is 'One More,'" said senior tri-captain Meredith Way. "We've turned that into our driving force this preseason. When we get to those close games we'll be that little bit better. We'll have that one extra step on each team that will get us the victory."
The Wolverines have nine players that are in their fourth or fifth years with the program. This includes senior tri-captains Meredith Way, Paige Laytos and Zara Saydjari. Way, a senior from Lititz, Pa., was the team's leading scorer last season, tallying 19 goals with 43 points for the Maize and Blue. She also was an All-Big Ten first team selection and had goals in 14 of the Wolverines' 21 contests. Laytos is a fifth-year senior and also is from Lititz, Pa. She scored three goals last season and was an All-Big Ten second team honoree at back for Michigan. Saydjari, a senior from Skowhegan, Maine, has eight career goals, including two game-winners.
"(The seniors) just have to play their own game," U-M head coach Marcia Pankratz stated. "Sometimes what happens with upperclassmen is that they feel a burden in trying to carry the whole team. They don't have to carry the team. Their skill sets will take care of themselves. They are wonderfully gifted athletes, all the seniors are. They just need to focus on doing the best they can and their best is pretty darn good. The younger players, in my experience, will step up. They don't feel pressure; they just play hockey all wide-eyed and excited."
Senior Alicia Mayer was the second-leading scorer last season, as her seven goals included a pair at Northwestern. She is joined by fellow senior Vanessa Sekhon, who has six career goals in her U-M career. Three redshirt juniors dot the roster, including midfielder Katie Adams and back Eileen Brandes. Adams is the normal pusher on penalty corners, as she had eight assists last season, many of which led to tallies by Way. Brandes made three starts in 2009 and tallied assists in three games last year, including the Big Ten Tournament game against Iowa.
The third redshirt junior, Christina Barwick, will battle redshirt freshman Haley Jones for the starting goalkeeper position. Barwick had a 1.73 goals-against average last season for the Maize and Blue and had four wins in seven games played. Jones redshirted last season after lettering three seasons at nearby Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor.
The trio of Michigan third-year players all hail from Eastern Regional High School and all should be in the Wolverine rotation this season. Bryn Bain returns from an injury that forced her to miss the final 10 matches of 2009. Before the injury, Bain scored five goals and had a four-game scoring streak. Hannah Dawson and Jess Allen both will be key contributors in the Wolverine backfield. The duo has combined to start 50 games for U-M the past two seasons. Sophomore Liesl Morris saw action in nine games in her first season in the Maize and Blue and will be counted on to add depth in the midfield.
Pankratz will have nine freshmen on the roster this season. The recruiting class will be looked on to contribute right away, as five newcomers played in the exhibition win over Michigan State on Aug. 21.
The schedule starts with the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, which is part of a four-game road trip to open the season. Michigan will have 11 home games, including tilts with conference foes Michigan State, Northwestern and Ohio State and games against nationally ranked foes James Madison and Maryland. The Big Ten Tournament will take place Nov. 4-7 on the campus of Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.
"Starting with the defending national champion (North Carolina) is good for Michigan and good for hockey," said Pankratz. "It's a barometer for where we are presently and helps us with where we need to get better. The only way you get better is to play teams that are really strong. The key is not winning every single game; it's winning the last game of a season. We are preparing to do the best we can and get better and better and better. We want to be challenged against the best teams in the nation. It can only help us achieve the goals that we've set out for the program."

Bright colored cones topping pick-up truck antennae on hundreds of Kiewit Flatiron vehicles parked along the Port Mann / Highway 1 Improvement Project are serving as a safety reminder.
The cone is a visual cue for the driver to walk round their parked truck prior to leaving.
It's an attempt to prevent metal-on-metal collisions, running over objects, injuries or fatalities, as well as spotting vehicle problems, said Lorne Caley, Section Two operations manager on the project.
"Construction sites are typically congested areas or trucks are parked along side of the highway barriers which are tight quarters," he said.
Drivers have to place and remove the cones.
"The idea is that if you have to put a physical thing on the pick-up truck and then have to pull it off later, you are forcing that person to adopt a different behavior that hopefully will become routine," he said.
Caley said that it is common for jobsite employees to feel a sense of urgency in needing to fulfill tasks.
It becomes easy to simply jump into the truck and not think about the vehicle check, which is a safety best practice for Kiewit Flatiron employees.
The cone program makes it difficult to bypass that check.
The cones, left-over blasting plugs from Kiewit Flatiron's Sea-to-Sky highway project, also serve as a red flag if not removed.
A parked vehicle without a cone is another telltale sign.
Section Two general superintendent Justin Campbell came up with the idea in November 2011.
It worked so well that Kiewit Flatiron expanded it in August to all four highway improvement sections.
"We are always challenging our employees to come up with good ideas," said Caley.
Jack Davidson, president of the BC. Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association, said it is a clever idea.
"(It) is part of a change in the workplace culture and getting you to think about safety," he said.
BC Hydro and Telus truck drivers employ a similar concept.
They take cones from the front bumper and place them in front of and behind a parked vehicle.
"This is a modification of that and it is effective and easy to do," Davidson said.
Mike McKenna, executive director of the B.C. Construction Safety Alliance, said safety has evolved in four different stages.
The first stage was employees adopting safety gear, the next was employee training, followed by certification process and the concept of safety systems.
The fourth focuses on how the individual thinks and makes decisions.
He said it is the next frontier, as it gives insight into modifying human behavior to improve safety.
The cone program is an example of prompting behavioral change, not just in terms of a vehicle inspection, but in other areas, he said.
"There is the whole peer pressure thing," he said.
The program prompts other employees to practice safety measures.
The cones are another layer of safety.
Caley said Kiewit Flatiron's fleet of pickups use sensor monitors triggering an alarm if they back up close to an object.
As well, some of the heavy equipment and dump trucks are being equipped with rear-view cameras to prevent mishaps.
Three serious incidents involving dump trucks took place over the summer.
A 31-year-old flagger was run over by a reversing dump truck in North Vancouver and a 48-year old worker died when struck by a backing up dump truck on the South Fraser Perimeter Road project.
A third worker was crushed and killed at a concrete plant when a dump truck's rear gate opened releasing gravel.
Dump truck operators are required to do a pre-trip inspection prior to starting their vehicles and their licensing test includes that inspection.
Greg Reeder, a former Flatiron heavy equipment operator and trainer from Fort McMurray, and now handling driver education for Valley Driving School, said dump trucks today come with beepers when backing up.
"But, on a busy construction site, you have so many beepers going off (from trucks and loaders and other equipment) that after a while it is ignored," he said.
Reeder teaches truck drivers the precautionary step of two air-horn blasts before moving and another blast for every length of the truck as it moves backwards.
"It's really hard to ignore an air horn," he said.

HYDE PARK, Wednesday—On our last Fourth of July we were rejoicing over the end of the war in Europe and we knew that with the concentration of power in the Pacific, there would come before very long, an end of the war with Japan. Now we have had nearly a year to face the problems of peace. Many people told us beforehand that these problems would be difficult problems, but we knew, everyone of us, that nothing mattered as much to us as the end of the war in which our men were being killed. Once the war was over, they might still be away from us for a time, but their chances of return would be far greater. Their dangers would be no more than the dangers we all face in living at all times.
Now that peace is here we find that it is not enough to be grateful that our greatest fear is removed. We actually have to exert ourselves to meet the problems that confront our country in peace in the year 1946.
When the Declaration of Independence was written, the men who wrote it must have wondered how their great experiment would be accepted throughout the world, whether they would be laughed at or looked upon with suspicion, and above everything else, whether they would be left alone to try to work out the dreams which they had for mankind. They were dreams and visions then. They have grown now partly into reality. This has been for many people a free land and a land of great opportunity. The opportunity is still great, but the justice which our forefathers promised is still not complete for every citizen and there is still work for us to do to bring to full fruition the dreams of the men who wrote the Declaration of Independence.
It is safe I think, to say that they did not know completely what their dreams would lead to, and many did not actually know what the dream was, for dreams take shape as they are worked out, and if we could bring some of the men back who signed the Declaration of Independence, they would probably say that we had created a strange world, but that in some way we had not wholly carried out some of the basic things they had in mind, so that is our "unfinished business."
Today our Declaration of Independence has become a document read and studied by the whole world and it is not too much to say that it is the gospel of hope for people throughout the world. Since that is so, we are the people on whom the responsibility falls to help the rest of the world to realize their hopes. Our forefathers who wrote that Declaration pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, not just to winning the war for independence, but to carrying on the plans which they were making for greater happiness of mankind here in the United States of America.
On this Fourth of July I hope that we will try to regain some of their sacrificial devotion, but include the world as a whole in our interest. Democracy will mean little to people of the world unless those who believe in it, work for it with unselfish and sacrificial spirit. We will have to pledge in this generation as much as the signers of the Declaration pledged way back in the year 1776.

He has been called many things--Paul, Mr. Morrison, Grandpa--but to an entire nation of Drake University graduates and staff he's known as one thing: Mr. Drake.
Paul Morrison, now in his 76th year at Drake University, has often described his life-long association the school as a "love affair." Put simply, he was destined to be a Bulldog.
Paul's father, Marion Holbrook Morrison, and mother, Leonta Starzinger Morrison, met on Drake's campus in 1902. Marion helped to start Drake's first history club and was the announcer for the 1919 Drake Relays.
After graduating in 1906 the Morrisons were married in 1910. Their third son, Paul, was born in 1917 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
In 1935 Morrison arrived on the Drake University campus as a student with aspirations of attaining his undergraduate degree before attending medical school. While at Drake, however, he became extremely active in journalism, becoming sports editor of the Times-Delphic as well as the Drake yearbook, the Quax. Morrison also was a member of Chi Delta Fraternity, which is now the current Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter.
Paul Morrison graduated with a degree in journalism in 1939 and briefly returned to his hometown of Cedar Rapids to work for the The Gazette. Like most men of his time, Paul had a war to fight, and was drafted into the U.S. Army, 6th Division.
Morrison was stationed in the Pacific theatre where he took care of his division's newsletter. By the war's end he had attained the rank of Sergeant.
Upon his return from the war he resumed his position with The Gazette before being hired as the first full-time director of the Drake News Bureau on December 15, 1945. He later would serve as the athletics business manager before beginning a lengthy run as sports information director.
Morrison retired from his full-time position with Drake in 1986, and has continued to serve the university by volunteering his time in the athletic department as historian and consultant.
In 1949 Morrison achieved what he might claim as his greatest accomplishment, marrying his wife Pauline Cameron DeWit Morrison. Pauline was secretary to the Dean of Students at Drake when they met. Paul likes to claim "She just kept chasing me until I finally came to my senses and let her catch me."
Although he has an outstanding list of career achievements and awards given to and named after him, Paul still puts family first. He and Pauline had two daughters, Mary and Marian Holbrook (Holly), as well as Paul's step-daughter Jenine DeWit Steele. Each has graduated from Drake, and a total of 14 members of the direct Morrison family have earned degrees from Drake.
Paul Morrison truly exemplifies the spirit of Drake University. For years he took a daily trek from the Bell Center, where he still volunteers after retirement, to Olmsted Center (the student union) to eat lunch around the students. He maintains tremendous relationships with former students and student-athletes, and his friendships are many, far beyond Des Moines. It's difficult to go anywhere in the world of collegiate athletics, be identified as a Drake Bulldog, and not have somebody ask about Paul.
Paul remembers some of his best times at Drake being the successful basketball teams of the late 1960s and the continuing success of the Drake Relays. He also says he does what he does for the interactions with current students.
Although he officially retired from Drake in July, 1986, Paul still volunteers full time as the Drake historian. He keeps Top 10 statistical books for all sports, while maintaining regular communication with past letter winners. If one has a question about Drake sports, Paul is the one to ask. He has more than just the answer, but a razor-sharp recall of particular elements and names that surround the topic.
Morrison was honored in 1997 as the inaugural recipient of the Missouri Valley Conference Meritorious Service Award, now known as presented as the Paul Morrison Award. It is presented annually at the MVC Hall of Fame induction ceremonies.
Paul is modest in his reception of the award. "It's a nice honor to be associated with it, but it's not about me. It's about the great history of Drake athletics and the promising future of the programs. Drake student-athletes are outstanding, and there are still many exciting achievements to come. That's what the Hall represents to alumni and visitors alike."
Modesty like this truly identifies Paul Morrison as "Mr. Drake."

The Fed's Move Improves the Odds for Wall Street
By Paul Cherney
The historical odds are roughly eight (8) in ten (10) that the bottom for the S&P 500 has already been seen.
In reviewing the price performance of the S&P 500 in the wake of previous Fed discount rate cuts back to 1960, the odds are greatly stacked in favor of higher prices both 3 months after the cut and one year after the cut. When I calculate my average performances, I eliminate the best and the worst percentage changes and average the remaining figures so the following figures may not exactly match other performance figures you may have seen in the financial press.
At 3 months after a discount rate cut, the average gain for the S&P 500 has been 9.5%, for today's market that would equate to 1475 for the index. After one year (actually, 250 trade days which is roughly one year), the S&P 500 had gained, on average, 16.6% which would equate to a close of 1564 in January of 2002. There was only one occasion (in 12) when the S&P 500 was lower at the end of 12 months, and that loss was only 3.3%.
Thursday's consolidation was orderly and looked perfectly normal. It would have been nice to see a second consecutive day of gains, but when you think about it, the 14.17% gain in the NASDAQ was equivalent to two days of hearty gains in and of itself. I would disregard commentary that the lack of follow-through on Thursday was a "bad omen" for the markets. I deal with historical odds and the historical odds greatly favor that we have seen the low and that the S&P 500 will move higher.
Based on my preliminary work for a study I'm performing on price performance after a discount rate cut, (which I hope to have published tomorrow), a 2.5% retracement for the S&P 500 would be pretty normal, and that would be a close of 1314 for the index. Chances are only about 2 in 10 that the index will retest the recent lows (1245) and that would be a worst case scenario, which would create a double bottom.
For the NASDAQ: immediate downside appears limited to a dip below 2500 and prints near 2454 (a 50% retracement of Wednesday's gains).
Volume is the weapon of the bulls and for a second day in a row, the NYSE set another record for total trading volume.

st: back transform coefficients
Fri, 18 Nov 2011 01:05:29 -0800 (PST)
Hi to all.
I am running linear regression with 3 continous and 1 2-level categorical independent variables.
The continuous outcome is normally distributed when transformed into sqrt(dep_var).
I was wondering how I would be able to back transform the produced coefficients and CIs for interpretation.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks
