Free For All
January is not just the first month of the year; it's also Eye Care Month, Hobby Month, Soup Month and -- my personal favorite -- Oatmeal Month. Seven years ago, the townspeople of Lafayette decided that they just couldn't let such a big occasion pass them by, so they started their very own Oatmeal Festival and have put on an annual celebration ever since.
Held this Saturday at several locations around Lafayette, the Oatmeal Festival celebrates all things oatmeal -- and then some. Sponsored by the Quaker Oats Company, the festival kicks off with an Oatmeal Breakfast (8 a.m. to 1 p.m at Pioneer Elementary School, 101 East Baseline Road), where over 145 toppings, from fresh fruit to toasted coconut to Nutella, will be offered. "Think of every possible oatmeal topping, and we're going to have it," guarantees Jo Judd, community event coordinator for Lafayette.
You'll probably need a little exercise after all that hot cereal, so hit the Quicker Quaker 5K walk/run, starting at 9:30 a.m. at the Old Firehouse (110 North Harrison). Bring the dog and strollers if you want to take it slow, or run it as fast as a Bolder Boulder participant. Afterward, you can wander over to the Baking Contest and Health Fair (8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bob L. Burger Recreation Center, 111 West Baseline Road). Organized by Boulder Community Hospital, the fair will feature blood-pressure screenings, cardiac and stroke assessments, a mobile mammogram unit and more. "The whole point of the day is to get people to think about living a healthy lifestyle and making healthy choices," says Judd. The fiber and oats in oatmeal have been shown to have several benefits, mainly lowering cholesterol.
It's a good bet that undergoing osteoporosis screenings is not how the kiddies planned to spend their day, so drop them off at the Kids' Workshops (10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Rocky Mountain Center for Musical Arts, 200 East Baseline Road), where they can make musical instruments, a working pinhole camera or a kaleidoscope, all using tube-shaped oatmeal packaging.

My friend is in a quandary. She needs her own space to sort herself out but feels unable to add to her daughter's insecurity by asking her to leave. Is she right to put her child's feelings above her own, or should she put herself first?
C.B. of Surrey
Leaving home is a critical event in the life of a young adult and her parents and the lead-up can be a bumpy ride for either party. At around 18, restlessness and boredom contribute to confrontational attitudes, while parents become more critical and less tolerant.
The problem is usually resolved amicably because deep down, all parties want the same thing, namely a parting of the ways. So the children move on, welcoming freedom and the chance to make their own mistakes, accepting in exchange a degree of privation and diminished comfort.
A little bit of distance really does makes hearts grow fonder and the pattern is set for excellent long-term relationships. Even if a child thereafter moves back temporarily, the umbilical cord has been severed, an essential individuality achieved.
Your friend has no doubt been through this process satisfactorily before her present crisis. The daughter's behaviour seems an exaggerated response for a 20-year-old to her parents' split.
I wonder if she is doing this to support her mother under the mistaken belief that her presence and support are vital. She may believe that her mother's protests are not to be taken at their face-value, so she is practising a little role-reversal.
If so, they are living in an uncomfortable, double-blind world of mutual misinterpretation. So much domestic pathology arises from misunderstandings that I think the mother would be best advised to come clean about her true wishes.
The morality of the situation depends on whose perspective you adopt. From a detached viewpoint, it is the mother who has endured the loss and the greatest trauma. The daughter has not lost either parent, although the family unity is destroyed, and her sorrow is suffered in sympathy rather than directly. Therefore, the mother deserves priority in acknowledgment of her needs.
If the daughter really is motivated by an unselfish wish to combat loneliness and isolation she will no doubt be relieved to discover that the sacrifice of her own liberty is not necessary. If she has regressed in emotional maturity because of her father's actions, and has moved back to her mother's orbit for her own condolence, then it's time she perceived her mother's greater need.
Besides, at 20, her resilience and powers of coping are significantly greater then at 40 or 50.
Either way, your friend should kindly and firmly explain to her that it's much better to move out to her own space, pick up her own life again, but still exchange mutual support from a comfortable distance.
Readres' replies
This dilemma strikes a chord with me as I was 22 when my parents split up. I was very confused as I understood why my mum had left my dad for someone else but then also fully understood why my dad was so distraught.
I felt as if a bomb had exploded under everything I had ever known and my emotions had lost all their foundations.
I can see why the daughter in the dilemma would run home to mummy for some security in such an unsafe time but it will not do either of them any good.
The one thing I took out of the experience is that everybody in the family has to work out how they feel about the break-up and how they feel towards each of the parties involved.
They have to do this on their own. I felt I was the only one who could understand all sides and therefore had to help everybody. I now realise that was a way of avoiding working out what I felt myself.
If the daughter stays with her mother then she may not see her father's point of view, or her own, which she will have to do eventually. Equally, the mother's views will be confused with those of her daughter and although it will be very hard to ask her daughter to leave, it will just prolong the heal ing process for both of them if she does not.
J.T. of Bristol
Next week's dilemma
I am 25 years old and have just starting seeing a married man of 32. He lives in Birmingham so we only get to see each other every couple of weeks. In June, his wife is going to be away for two weeks, holidaying by herself. He has suggested we go away together during the first of those weeks.
However, it clashes with an arrangement I have made with a close friend. I desperately want to cancel my previous engagement so I can spend some much cherished time with this man who I am only starting to get to know.
Please do not preach to me about the rights and wrongs of seeing a married man. My dilemma is more about how I can justify cancelling my friend in favour of a lover.

It turns out there's a reason for the modest average: He was going for placement last season, not distance.
"We had two really good punters at Orange Coast, and the coach wanted to use both of us for certain situations," Harrington recalled. "I was pretty good at always hitting it inside the 20-yard line, so Coach said, 'OK, you're the guy that's going to pin 'em down.'"
The other punter, Jake Fields, offered a little more leg strength when Orange Coast needed a booming kick, so he filled that role.
"Coach told him he was the guy that was going to hit it deep," Harrington said. "He interchanged us, and that's kind of the way it worked out."
Ultimately, Harrington may have come a long way to hit short punts.
Veteran Vol fans may recall that Tennessee has enjoyed considerable success using a tandem approach to punting in the past. John Warren handled the pooch-punting in 1981 and 1982, enabling cannon-legged Jimmy Colquitt to average 43.8 yards in '81 and a school-record 46.9 yards in '82. Quarterback Andy Kelley doubled as the pooch-kicker throughout his UT career, platooning with Kent Elmore (1988 and '89), Joey Chapman ('90) and Tom Hutton ('91).
Perhaps the Vols will go with a punting tandem in 2009. Returnee Chad Cunningham (39.5-yard average last fall) could handle the regular chores and Harrington could handle the pooch-punting.
"It's up to the coaches," Harrington said. "I'm just here to do whatever they need me to do. I'm Chad's backup right now. He's the starter. I'm going to be a team player. I'm just going to do whatever I can to help this team."
The obvious question: Why did a California guy choose to travel 2,000 miles to walk on at Tennessee?
"Obviously, the coaching staff," Harrington said, adding that running backs/special teams coach Eddie Gran is "the best in the SEC.
"I just wanted to come here and see what I'm made of."

Subject: st: Variable names incompatable with aflogit?
I have encountered the following problem when using the aflogit (sbe21.pkg)
user-supplied module for calculating population attributable fraction (AF)
following a logistic regression (the data set is tuyns.dta, which is
distributed with the package):
The following logistic regression command is issued:
xi: logit case i.alcohol [fw=3Dn]
which produces:
i.alcohol _Ialcohol_0-3 (naturally coded; _Ialcohol_0 omitted=
Then the aflogit command is given:
aflogit _Ialcohol* [fw=3Dn], cc
which produces the following error:
Population attributable fraction from logistic regression
Case-control data (n=3D975)
Using weights [fweight =3D n]
Term Ref. A.F. s.e. [95% Conf. Int.]*
l_1 not found
Referring to the model terms explicitly does not help, as in
aflogit _Ialcohol_1 _Ialcohol_2 _Ialcohol_3 [fw=3Dn], cc
However, renaming _Ialcohol_1 _Ialcohol_2 _Ialcohol_3 as alcohol1 alcohol2
alcohol3, respectively, allows the aflogit module to execute:
Any insight anyone can give as to why aflogit doesn=B9t accept the original
indicator variable names will be appreciated. For the present example,
renaming the variables is a reasonable solution, but it becomes tedious is
there are several factors in the model each with multiple indicator

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'TiVo Roamio DVRs' started by Smirks, Aug 22, 2013.
They charge tax on the hardware and subscription if I recall correctly? And weaknees doesn't?
Yes on hardware, but not on service for me (depends on state).
check http://support.tivo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31
Btw, consider return policy too. Tivo will work with you to extend your policy if your having issues (e.g. CableCard / Tuning Adapter) with Roamio. For me, that was worth paying sales tax.
This deal's still on. I just upgraded to a Roamio and got the base unit for $174.99 + tax, free shipping, by calling.
If I recall correctly Weaknees only charges sales tax if you're in CA, while TiVo charges sales tax in every state that has a sales tax.
Yeah, with tax in VA, the deal for a Pro from Weaknees (w/code) or from TiVo (w/$50 off) basically is a wash. Actually, TiVo is $4 cheaper. Both have free shipping. If TiVo had the offer when I was buying, I would have bought direct, but they didn't, so I purchased from Weaknees...
You might think that by the way TiVo words their FAQ on the topic, but it is not the case. For example, sales tax in Nebraska is 5.5% + any applicable city rate, but per the FAQ, TiVo does not charge sales tax in Nebraska. I don't want to get too technical here, but basically TiVo charges sales tax in states where they are considered to have a "business presence" - and selling products and service over the internet is not in and of itself a business presence.
http://support.tivo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31/kw/sales tax
What is TiVo's "business presence" in, say, Arizona or Florida? So far as I know there are no TiVo retail stores anywhere in the US, or sales/service offices in those states.
Old telephone hubs or Web hubs ??
Ugh...don't remind me. I paid $860.51 total for the S3 the day it went on sale (shipping and tax)....
I bought two.
But I LOVED that S3!! It was my first HD DVR and my first dual tuner DVR....Up until then I was an HD and dual tuner virgin...
I had a horrible Moxi DVR from Charter which I was happy to get rid of.
You didn't like the jet engine fan or the fact that you could fry an egg on top of it?
That didn't bother me, but the stupid spoiler window that could not be turned off was a huge PITA. Also the search was funky and sometimes couldn't find things I knew were on. The one thing I did miss was access to VOD, but I got over it.
As I believe somebody else stated already, I'm also holding out for TiVo to offer a promotion, where you can transfer lifetime, for a fee, that brings down the total cost.
They've done it in the past, where the transfer left lifetime service on the original unit it was purchased for. While that was nice, and all, with the flood of used lifetime TiVos already on eBay driving down the value of the units, I'd much rather get a lower lifetime transfer fee, and use the old ones for parts, or target practice, possibly a little of both, or other creative ways to say "goodbye forever, you POS frustrating box!" I can already tell the Roamio is a true TiVo innovation, or at minimum, what the Premiere should have been, and much more. That alone doesn't increase my available credit or the money in my bank account, though... So wait, I must.
To be clear, that I am clear on the TOS/TiVo Policies, lifetime service is absolutely not transferrable, unless it's within warranty (and even then, a fee can be charged under certain circumstances).
But, this has been the policy for a long time, and hasn't stopped them from offering limited-time promotions that trump policy.
Yep, I was hoping they'd do that for the Premiere, but looking back I'm glad they didn't. No way would I want to be stuck with the Premiere.
I won't be getting a Roamio unless TiVo does a lifetime transfer promo or one of my TivoHDs die.
Surely TiVo is looking to get S2s off the server teat. (Hint, hint)
So anyone else get the $100 off the Pro?
You'd have to ask them that question. They may have employees in those states who are working from home, for example.
Me, too. I'm satisfied with my XL4 even though it's a bit slow at times. I'm certainly not as dissatisfied as some on these boards are...we have an HD that I'd gladly transfer lifetime from...

This Man Is Running The Toronto Marathon With No Legs
Imagine going to bed with flu-like symptoms and waking up three weeks later with no legs and only one arm.
Bryan Cuerrier doesn't have to imagine. He lived it.
In May 2010, the 54-year-old was found half-conscious in his home by his girlfriend. According to Marijo Cuerrier (now his wife), his hands had turned blue and he could barely speak.
Bryan was rushed to the hospital and doctors struggled to diagnose him. Eventually he was diagnosed with Flesh Eating Disease and in order to save his life doctors had to amputate his left leg, left arm below the elbow, right leg below the knee and his fingertips on his right hand. For nearly a month, Marijo didn't leave Bryan's bedside as he went through multiple surgeries and was put into an induced acoma.
Once Bryan finally woke up, Marijo had the difficult task of telling her boyfriend that he only had one limb. He was so medicated that she had to tell him the heartbreaking news multiple times because he was in and out of consciousness.
How did the Belleville, Ontario resident get Type A Streptococcus bacteria? Good question. Bryan, and his doctors still don't know. He was a healthy and active runner who always "took life by the horns."
That love and passion for life hasn't changed. After years of rehabilitation and dedication, Bryan had to re-learn how to stand, walk and hold a glass again. Doctors originally told him he would never be able to walk again. He proved them wrong. Miraculously, his positive outlook and courageous attitude have allowed him to sail, golf, plays tennis, ski, blog and travel. He does more than most able bodied 20-year-olds. Plus, he never misses a Montreal Canadiens game, he is a hardcore hockey fan.
Does Bryan ever feel sorry for himself? Absolutely not. He admits to having self declared "AMP" (amputee) moments. This is when he realizes that he has no legs, says "Holy S**T" and then moves on. Bryan says he doesn't like to dwell on the negative and rarely gets depressed.
To mark the third anniversary of the incident, he and his incredibly devoted wife have signed up for the Toronto Marathon on May 5. Bryan will do a 5 km walk and Marijo will run a half marathon. It may take him an hour and a half with his prosthetic legs, but it doesn't seem like anything could phase this handsome, positive and charming man.
If you ever need to be inspired to get off the couch or to simply live a better life, check out his blog.
Thank you Marijo and Bryan for touching my life and others so profoundly with your story of love, courage and pure heart.
After a very public betrayal by her husband and her best friend, Twain's confidence was shaken, and she even lost her ability to perform for years. The beloved Canadian songbird didn't just give up and just disappear, though. She shared her very personal journey on the OWN TV show 'Why Not? With Shania Twain,' proving that even super celebs have to deal with unpleasant personal drama. This year she's made a triumphant return to the stage in a glitzy residency at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.
TV's toughest trainer balances a busy career, including her fitness empire and a gig on 'The Biggest Loser,' with a full home life. Earlier this year, she and partner Heidi Rhoades welcome two bundles of joy into their lives. Now, Michaels regularly dishes out great advice on not only how to get into killer shape, but also how to juggle everything. No wonder even the famously disciplined financial guru Suze Orman turns to Michaels for help reaching her fitness goals.
Watching this bubbly HGTV personality deliver dramatic home transformations through design certainly inspires plenty of Canadians to put some of her tricks into practice to beautify their own homes. In addition to hosting several TV shows on HGTV, the busy wife and mother also runs a successful design firm she built from scratch. Richardson proves that nice gals can finish first.
It's almost cliché to include this world-famous motivational speaker on a list of inspiring people. But anyone who's seen Robbins speak or read his books knows that he's the foremost expert on getting inspired for a reason: he's effective! Whether you're trying to improve your relationships, improve your health, get a promotion or manage your time better, Robbins's no-nonsense words of wisdom can help you formulate a plan and tackle your goals head-on.
The author of the best-selling books 'The Happiness Project' and 'Happier at Home' has spawned a happiness-seeking movement, with 'Happiness Project' groups sprouting up across the globe. Rubin's quest to discover the secrets to achieving true happiness has inspired millions of people to spend more time and energy working towards attaining more meaningful lives. After all, who doesn't want to be happy?
Instead of launching another high-end restaurant as many top chefs in his position may have done, conscientious gourmand Brand rescued Vancouver's iconic Save-on-Meats and transformed it into a delicious deli/ social experiment. The shop offers affordable and tasty meals for everyone in its gritty east Vancouver neighbourhood, where the less fortunate can dine alongside buttoned-up businessmen. Brand continues to demonstrate that with a little elbow grease, anyone can make a difference.
After a disappointing stint as the anchor of the CBS Evening News, the former 'Today Show' host has reinvented herself yet again. This time around, Couric's TV vehicle, the daytime talk show 'Katie,' seems to be a better fit for the affable-yet-probing interviewer. While Couric's many professional successes are inspirational on their own, her personal story is even more empowering: she lost her husband to colon cancer in 1998 and had to raise their young children on her own while juggling a high-profile career. If you're looking for inspiration beyond Couric herself, tune in to 'Katie' to watch her unique segment called 'Women Who Should be Famous,' which spotlights impressive ladies.
Her high-octane songs definitely inspire legions of fans to work harder at the gym. The feisty singer's influence extends beyond her empowering lyrics, too. She recognizes that she's a role model to many young girls, and she takes that responsibility seriously. She regularly advocates being healthy, strong, confident, and, above all else, true to yourself. After all these years in the spotlight, she's still outspoken, authentic and has refused to conform.

A couple days ago I cut a colony out of an electric box, and installed them in my apiary. I could not fit all the honey comb into the hive, so I crushed the honey out for me. I am considering setting out the crushings for the bees from the apiary to clean up. The last time I did this, I put the crushings too close to my hive stands, and the established bees started robbing the new colony, which got fed up and flew into a tree. I think they were also aggravated by an animal removing the entrance reducer, and there was a lot of brood and bees that died from the cut-out trauma, so the hive may have been too dirty for them after 3 days.
There was no brood from the cut-out yesterday, because most of the plants are not flowering in November. Temperatures on the Texas Gulf coast can range from 30-40 to up to 60 degrees at this time of year, so on some days the bees will fly, but other days they hunker down. This time I duct-taped the entrance reducer, and fixed it so it is only one bee wide. Time will tell if they have the queen or they stay.
My concerns:
I don't think I did a very good job putting the comb in the frames. (Probably I need a helper). I gave them a couple of drawn out frames, too. I don't want to disturb them at all. How can I tell if I have the queen if it will be two months before it is reasonable to expect brood?
I think I should give them more room at the entrance to drag out dead bees.
I plan to put out the crushings on my patio which is 100 yards from the apiary, for all four hives to forage. Or should I just compost it? Because Why?

While I was sleeping
Not to disparage the Blackerby Ridge or its fresh coat of velvety snow, but I'm feeling a little cheated. The northern lights only come to Juneau on a clear night once every 487.3 years or so, and I missed them. Missed them so I could wake up marginally early, hike up the geological Stairmaster known as Blackerby Ridge, stair-step my way down, go to work and wait for the end of Daylight Savings Time to kick the sunset up to 4:15 p.m.
I did have a good morning, though, all said and done. The upper portions of Blackerby Ridge are covered in nearly a foot of new snow, deep and heavy atop ice-caked mud and partially frozen streams. I dressed well for the sub-freezing temps but not for the slippery conditions. I spent the last half of the morning wet from the knees and elbows down.
The biking season here is definitely in transition. Geoff and I headed out yesterday morning and didn't make it more than a half mile from the house before we both crashed down on a steep stretch of black ice. It must have been a funny sight to see. I hit the downhill slope and my front wheel slipped almost immediately. I dipped into what I feel was an unusually graceful fall - hanging at a 45-degree angle for several fractions of a second, I tucked slowly into the skid, landing square on my left hip, where I and my bike continued to slide down the road for about 20 feet. Geoff tried to swerve around me and down he went as well, also taking a fairly minor fall - although from his road rash I can tell he wasn't as lucky to land on top of the ice. We decided to turn around right there. I walked the whole way home to put off dealing with major chain suck. I really am going to put my studded tires on my mountain bike now ('tis time). I'm also going to start building up my snow bike.
The beginnings of it came in the mail earlier this week. Right now it's nothing more than a Raleigh frame and 2"-wide snowcat rims. (I love these things. The rim tape doesn't even cover half of the rim's surface.) I have to start buying parts. I still have some decisions to make. Like V-brakes versus disc brakes. How to set up the drive train. I've wrestled with everything from single speed to single-ring crank to triple ring. I think I may just go with the triple ring. Although I like the simplicity of a single speed, I'm more drawn to the versatility of a 27-speed. Weight is truly not an issue with this bike. And although it's nice to have less moving parts that may seize up in the cold, I really believe I'll need the low gearing for new snow or bogged-down slushy conditions. After all, my goal in building up this bike as opposed to just riding Sugar all winter long is to do less walking.
Anyway, if any out there has experience with snow or wide-rimmed bicycles (or just bicycle building in general) and has some good advice for me, don't hesitate to tell me why I'm an idiot. Does anyone know if there's such a thing as gear grease formulated for lower temperatures? Anyone have any bicycle parts lying around that they're looking to get rid of? Your comments are always appreciated.

It's always very interesting to see how previous draft picks and trades pave the way for a big name player to be acquired.

Now, we look at a few of those deals, and how they all led to the Rangers acquiring Rick Nash. It's interesting to note that all these transactions occurred with Glen Sather as GM of the Rangers. 7/15/2001: Rangers sign Zdeno Ciger. 12/12/2001: Rangers trade Zdeno Ciger to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Matthew Barnaby. 3/8/2004: Rangers trade Matthew Barnaby and a 3rd round pick in 2004 to the Colorado Avalanche for Chris McAllister, David Liffiton, and the #37 pick in 2004 (The #37 pick was initially Florida's, and was traded to Colorado in 2003 with Peter Worrell for Eric Messier and Vaclav Nedorost). 6/26/2004: New York Rangers draft Al Montoya with the sixth overall pick. 6/26/2004: Rangers trade the #37 p...

The original plan was to load 75 Hornady A-Max moly for this rifle however the jackets are failing at 25 yards and create a sideways hole on a paper target with a consistently bent nose. The 80 gr Bergers were coming to pieces as well but when we moly coated them we finally managed to achieve round holes in the target. Note the 75 A-Max were already factory moly coated so could not be improved upon.
This is what happens when one is pushing the envelope as our gunsmith PK says.
The Scope
For this trip I utilised a Nightforce 8-32 Bench rest model scope. My opinion is that these are quite good competition scopes for shooting long range targets during the daytime. They have great shortcomings when utilised on small game at distance in poor light. The light gathering of this Nightforce scope is appalling when compared to the 8.5-25 Mark 4 Leupold on my XR100. Thus contrast suffers as well and it became impossible to identify small brown rabbits on a close cropped hillside only a matter of minutes after the sun had disappeared on afternoon.
Changing over to my other rifle and scope it appeared as if someone had turned on the floodlights for me! The benefits when bright light was available were magnification up to 32X and reliable 1/8 moa adjustments.
I just hope Leupold will build a higher power variable than the 8.5-25 which I use now. In the meantime I guess I begin saving for a few years for a down payment on a S&B 10-50 which are in the prototype phase at the moment.
A 20 MOA canted picatinny rail has been fitted along with Leupold Mark 4 tactical heavy duty rings. This allows enough elevation for the rig out past 1200 yards if required. To fit 2 rifles in my Pelican 1750 case I had to remove the scope off the Nesika but the zero was only off 3/8 MOA after refitting and checking in NZ. This was after retensioning the ring nuts with the preset 65 pounds torque wrench designed for this application.
To ensure that I dont cant the rifle [remember that 1 degree of cant equals 1 MOA and thus approximately 10 at 1000 yards!], there is a US Optics rail mounted bubble level fitted. These are extremely useful and easily transferable between rifles should picatinny rails be utilised.
Another advantage for this method of attachment means that the level will not require levelling or fitting to each individual rifle.
Without knowing the distance to target long range shooting becomes a guessing game. Therefore an excellent range finder is a necessity.
A Swarovski 8x30 monocular range finder gave great service and readings out past 1800 yards consistently. I believe that this is the best range finder for those seeking reliable readings past 6-800 yards commercially available.
The units that exceed the Swarovski in performance are military only cost many times more $. The optics are clear with good contrast and I had no trouble identifying rabbits out to 1080 yards and then ranging them.
After ranging I consult my ballistic programme to determine correct elevation adjustment required for that distance.
Normally I guess wind hold but this particular shoot the wind at our shooting position was not apparent at all yet a constant 2 MOA right adjustment kept the strikes centred. Normally the wind is our greatest enemy at long range however on this afternoon it was stable.

Hello, everybody.
We're soon going to have a new metal garage, and in order to have pegboard, shelving, etc, I'll have to attach 2x4's horizontally to the metal tubing that supports the structure. The tubes are 12gauge galvanized, and I'm wondering about the best fastener to just screw the 2x4's right to the tubes.
The manufacturer uses 1/4" TEKS screws to attach the walls to the tubing; 1/4" seems like overkill for this, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

" Brand: Ikea / Type: Dinner Set "
I've just recently bought 2 of the Dinera dining sets from Ikea. I don't tend to spend an awful lot on crockery as I would say that at least once a week or maybe even more, a plate or a mug or a glass always gets broken.
I chose the Dinera set from Ikea as it is resonably priced for the set, and you can also buy the pieces seperately (to supplement your broken set!). The Dinera dining set consists of 18 pieces; 6 dinner plates, 6 side plates, and 6 bowls. Another reason I chose the Dinera set is that is doesn't contain any mugs or cups and saucers, we never use these and so for us anyway a set containing these is a bit of a waste. You can buy seperate matching Dinera mugs and a set of 6 Dinera cups and saucers if you wanted these.
The Dinera dining set is available in 3 colours; beige, brown and grey-blue. I bought a beige set and a brown set, so that I can mix and match the colours on the dining table. Also I have a few remnants of a beige and a brown dining set from Next left, so I figured that I can mix these in as well.
For some reason the beige dining set was £24.99, and the brown was only £21.99, the grey-blue set happened to be £21.99 as well. You can buy the following items seperately in the Dinera range; dinner plates at £2.19 each, side plates at £1.59 each, bowls at £1.59 each, deep plates/shallow bowls at £1.69 each, large rectangular plates at £2.69 each, mugs at £1.89 each, and a set of 6 cups and saucers at £8.59.
All of the items are microwave and dishwasher safe. I bought the crockery just after Christmas, and I've used most of it in the microwave with no problems. All of the items have been in the dishwasher tonnes of times, again with no problems. There's no cracking or crazing or scratches on any of the items.
The items are finished with a matt finish rather than a shiny finish, and I think that this makes them look more expensive than they actually were. The pieces are a little bit heavier than the sets from Next that they are replacing, and I think that this actually makes them sturdier. I've occasionally dropped a piece and it hasn't actually smashed!
All of the items are a fairly decent size; the dinner plates are 26cm in diameter, the side plates are 20cm in diameter, and the bowls are 14cm in diameter and 6cm high. The bowls are a really useful size, they are quite big so they comfortably hold a decent bowl full of soup, or cereal. Sometimes in a dining set the bowls can be really small and not all that practical. The bowls also stack comfortably inside one another for easy storage.
I've been really impressed so far with the Dinera dining sets, I don't think that you can go wrong for the price. I think that it would last for years - though maybe not in our house due to the rate we break things! I would certainly reccomend it.
*My Intro*:
When I first left home, one thing on my list of purchases was a set of plates. I invested in a Dinera Plate set from Ikea.
*The Product:*
The set comprises of 18 pieces which consists of 6 dinner plates, 6 side plates and 6 bowls.
The dimensions of which are as follows:
Dinner plate: diameter 26cm
Side plate: diameter 20cm
Bowl: 14cm and 6cm deep
*The range:*
I brought the set in white however it is now also available in beige, brown or grey/blue. You can also but the items separately should you not want 6 of each item (the dinner plates are about £1.30 each and the bowls the same). You can also buy different items such as larger plates, matching mugs and deeper bowls.
*Price and availability:*
The set at the time cost me around £15, having just looked online, it now retails at £24.99 (however I did buy mine over 10 years ago!).
The set is available to purchase on line and in store, you can check stock availability for you local store on Ikea's website if you didn't want to have a wasted journey
The plates have a matt finish and look quite expensive.
*My thoughts*:
This has proved to be a fantastic but for me, the set it now over 10 years old and still used as out main set of crockery.
It has worn very well, the only signs of wear and tear is where I have chopped a plate accidentally which I think is brilliant.
The set is dishwasher safe, I wash mine daily in the dishwasher and no problems whatsoever.
Would I buy again? Yes, although I am currently thinking of changing, this set has proven real value for money. The only downside is that the price has increased slightly since I brought, so I would only give 4 out of 5 stars.
Thanks for reading.

Spent the first day orienting ourselves but not to let the grass grow under our feet, we booked a four day trip to Los Llanos departing at 6.30am the next morning!
Los Llanos is a huge plain savannah south of the Andes...our guide for the trip, Alan, was one of the most knowledgeable guides we had on our entire trip! He was also a VERY keen butterfly collector and would suddenly stop the mini bus without warning to point out a rare breed!! The trip itself was awesome- we stayed in accommodation ranging from a home stay on the river to the tour companys own riverside accommodation which was almost 4 star! There were many memorable events such as getting up at 5am and tracking down a giant ant eater....going out in a canoe late in the night and Alan wrestling a giant Anaconda from the river bank into the boat...tubing down the river in a giant tyre over grade 4 rapids
On our return to Merida it was time to check out the teleferico! Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side and we lost sight of the ground before we got to the top of the first stage (there are four stages to get to the top!)By the time we made it to the top (Pico Espejo 4765M!)it was freezing cold and drizzling but we were rewarded with glimpses of the valleys below. Fortunately we didn't find out till later that last year the cable snapped on the last stage snapping the car in two and all the tourists plummeting to their deaths!
Our plan was then to go back down one stage to Loma Redonda and hike 6 hours to Los Nevados, a lovely mountain village at 2700M stay there overnight and get a jeep back into Merida the next day. Fortunately the weather improved for a while on the way to Los Nevados and and we were treated to some magnificent scenery....Unfortunately, this wasn't to last and by the time we reached the village it was chucking it down and we were very tired and wet!! We did find a very rustic B&B overlooking the tiny village square for �2.50 including dinner! The village suffered a power cut soon after we arrived so it was an early night after dinner... The next morning we tracked down a jeep to take us on a breathtaking cliff side hugging 4 hour trip back to Merida!
During the following days we went paragliding from Las Gonzales a breathtaking 850 mtre 40 minutes flight down from the top, and canyoning- climbing, rappelling and hiking down a river canyon (including a 35 mtre waterfall!!)
All too soon it was time to head back to Caracas on the night bus for a few days rest and last minute shopping before I was off to my final destination before my return home- New York!!

Flash presents
Cassy, Navbox, Philip Goyette
645 Florida Ave NW
Washington, DC, 20001
Doors 10:00 PM (event ends at 2:00 AM)
Cassy Britton has meticulously fashioned her craft over the last decade, approaching her productions and DJ sets with an attention to detail and passion that is hard to surpass. Her dedication to music, twinned with her gift for reading the crowd has meant that her profile has grown to worldwide recognition amongst fans and within the industry.
Cassy was first gripped by the power of sound in Vienna, a city famous for its musical culture and classical history, studying music and performance at a young age while surrounded by the ghosts of legendary composers left it mark on Cassy. From here she moved into other kinds of performance art, dabbling in theatre and acting, but she was soon drawn back into music, her one true passion.
The dance music scene was exploding around her and she wanted to get to the heart of it. Her first professional step was as a vocalist for Elin aka Autorepeat on 'Music Takes Me Higher' on Sabotage Records. From here DJ/Producer Electric Indigo mentored Cassy through the transition from a vocalist to a DJ. After debut gigs in Vienna and Munich she met Dave the Hustler where they started working on a collaboration for Mental Groove. During this time she also met Luciano, co-producing 'La Ondita' on his album 'Blind Behaviour'.
She moved to Berlin in 2003 to hone her skills on the club circuit, soon after this relocation Cassy secured a residency at Panorama Bar in Berghain cementing her name in the DJ annals. Her production credits include collaborations with Steve Bug, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, DJ Elin, Dave The Hustler, Mathew Jonson and Swayzak. She has a diverse body of work on highly-regarded labels such as Playhouse, Perlon, Ostgut Ton and Cocoon. She also runs her own self-titled label, using it for an outlet for her unique sound. Cassy does not subscribe to any one genre, she glides between house and techno, with a hint Viennese traditionalism she continues to use vinyl, but with a contemporary, superstylish and swaggery sound she creates soul and balance in her DJ sets, moulding and shaping her performance to the audience, taking them on an adventure weather an intimate secret gig or a huge festival arena. Cassy continues her residency at Panorama Bar, and is also resident at Rex in Paris and Trouw in Amsterdam and will be touring widely in 2013.
Navid Zahraie was born in Tehran.
Known for his eclectic ear and hard-to-beat-crate digging skills, Philip Goyette has built a solid foundation in his new base - Washington, D.C.
Goyette is a native of Minneapolis and spent his youth braving the cold, stark winters with the warm sounds of bands like Broken Social Scene, early Interpol, and Bjork. It was this early love of music that would eventually grow into his passion for DJing and producing later on in life, but he took the path towards his eventual career slowly.
Spending his days working at an environmental non-profit, Goyette spent his evenings immersed in music, without regard for genre but a developing a deep appreciation for new sounds. "When I was 18, I lived with a few friends and our apartment was very much the after work hangout spot and I would always supply the music."
Goyette's introduction to electronic music was through Boards of Canada and LCD Soundsystem and both bands played a pivotal role in steering his next career move. "In some weird way, I might say that BOC inspired me to start DJing even though they are the antithesis of 'DJ music.' Listening to them really opened my ear to more of an electronic sound and helped me grow beyond listening to just indie rock."
Though he always knew his life would either take a political path or that he would become more involved in music, his move to the nation's capitol and the infectious music scene there, cemented his choice to pursue music. Since moving here he has worked his way through nearly every club and bar on U Street and H street and has earned himself a weekly residency at the famed Eighteenth Street Lounge. His sound has grown from indie dance and rock to spinning deep house and tech.

The basketball regular season seemed to fly by, especially in the case of one of the area's new stars, Washington-Marion freshman Mark Vital.
Vital helped W-M capture the District 4-4A crown in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year after the loss of a strong senior class that included Javandon Staves, Jadonta Blakely, Harold Clark and Anthony Dantley.
This season, the Charging Indians maintained their district dominance with a talented kiddie corps, led by Vital. Before the season started, Vital was an Internet star from highlight reels of spectacular dunks as a middle schooler.
There were plenty of new additions to those reels this season, but Vital is no one-trick pony. There is substance to his game. In the district-clinching win over LaGrange Friday night, Vital scored 12 points over the game's final 12 minutes to help carry the Charging Indians to the win.
Sophomore Dedrick Richmond scored 22 points and fellow sophomore Jeremiah Warren made a couple of big defensive plays down the stretch. The trio of youngsters helped make the year a reloading, not rebuilding one.
Westlake's resurgence is at the opposite end of the spectrum. The Rams do not have W-M's pedigree and have had the same nucleus for the past couple of seasons. This season that group took a step up and gave the Rams a district championship with a pair of tough wins this week, on the road at Iowa and at home over a Crowley team that had beaten them a couple of weeks ago.
The Rams don't light up scoreboards, but have an elite athlete in Jacory Washington, a shooter in Justin Johnson and a tough point guard in John Mark. To borrow a term from the Memphis Grizzlies, the Rams "grit and grind" their way to wins. The power rating bonus for winning the district should be enough to allow the Rams to open the postseason at home.
On the girls side, Sulphur and St. Louis won't have to do much number-crunching after completing undefeated district runs. Like the W-M boys, the Lady Tors have had youngsters step up, while the Lady Saints have been led by a couple of veterans in Jada Peltier and Hillary Henning.
Last year's girls powers of Fairview, Lacassine and Pickering have all maintained their status quo, and look set to return to the Lake Charles regional for the semifinal round. The Fairview boys look set to return as well behind the high-scoring tandem of Josh Walker and Tyler Maddox.
Those teams are in good position in the power ratings heading into release of the playoff pairings this week. Other teams that will be seeded further down that could spring an upset or two include the DeRidder girls who have been a Top Ten team most of the season but lost two District 4-4A showdowns with St. Louis, the Pickering and Rosepine boys who have dominated District 4-2A, the Hamilton Christian boys that won the District 4-1A title and the Iowa boys, who lost a crucial game Friday that could have forced a District 4-3A playoff, but have a wealth of athleticism and experience.

A vegetable custard, that's what this is. Prepared as it is here, the pudding is the ultimate comfort food, but follow the basic proportions and you can do what you want. Throw in a bit of dill weed, snipped chives, minced jalapeño, maybe some diced tomatoes, diced ham, crumbled bacon...your appetite will lead you.
This is a warm and delicious thing to sit down to on a brisk autumn night. While it is usually served as a side dish, I find that a green salad, corn pudding, and a glass of white wine makes a fine dinner.
You need...
1-1/2 hours
Blender or food processor
Pan for a water bath
350 degree F. oven
3 ears of corn (about 1-1/2 cups kernels or 10 ounces)
2 cups milk
3 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1. Turn your oven on to 350 degrees F. Cut the kernels from the ears. purée the corn with about 1/4 cup of the milk. Scrape it into a mixing bowl and whisk the eggs in.
2. Bring the rest of the milk and the butter to a simmer. Whisk in the cornmeal, salt and pepper. Let it simmer a minute then take it off the heat and whisk it into the puréed corn.
3. Butter a baking dish and pour the mixture into it. Put the baking dish in a water bath and bake in the oven until a knife poked into the middle comes out clean—45 minutes to an hour.
A water bath is a pan of water. It's the gentlest way to cook custard. To make a water bath, put the custard dish in a pan, then pour water around the custard dish and carefully put it in the oven. The deeper the bath, the more effective it is, but don't get carried away. Also, if you fill the bath with hot water, the custard will cook more quickly than if you fill it with cold water.

New Mexico Past and Future
€ 18,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
September 2006
BeschreibungThere have been many histories of New Mexico written for the general public in recent years. However, "New Mexico Past and Future" approaches the state's history differently. First, Thomas Chavez asserts dates and names are not important. Relative time and cause and effect are the important keys to making sense of any history. Second, history is the story of human beings--people who feel sadness and happiness and pain, people who lived in the land that came to be called New Mexico. For this telling, New Mexico's history is divided into five sections: the period before the Europeans arrived; the Spanish colonial period, which began with the first European expeditions into the area in 1536 and ended when Mexico broke away from Spain in 1821; Mexican Independence was the third and shortest period of New Mexico's history, lasting until 1846; the Territorial Period, which began officially in 1850 and lasted sixty-two years; and finally, the statehood period, which began in 1912 and continues to this day. New Mexico is the only official bilingual state in the Union. Election ballots are printed in Spanish and English, state driving examinations are offered in Spanish or English, and the twenty-two American Indian tribes and nations in the state maintain their own languages as well. In his Epilogue, Chavez points out New Mexico has a message applicable to humanity no matter where it may be: all the cultures that come to us became a part of our society. "New Mexico is the only state in the Union that has 'U.S.A.' on its automobile license plates. This is not done out of any sense of patriotism. Rather, New Mexicans learned early on that they needed to explain to the rest of thecountry that New Mexico is one of the fifty states. There still exists a lack of understanding about New Mexico."--from "New Mexico Past and Future"
PortraitThomas E. Chavez is the former director of the National Hispanic Cultural Center, Albuquerque, and the former curator and director of the Palace of the Governors Museum of New Mexico, Santa Fe. He is also the author of Spain and the Independence of the United States and An Illustrated History of New Mexico, both published by UNM Press.

An in vivo dissection of the adult Drosophila ventral nerve cord (VNC) is demonstrated. This particular dissection method causes little damage to the VNC allowing the subsequent labeling of the giant fiber neurons with fluorescent dye for high resolution imaging.
Date Published: 6/04/2011, Issue 52; doi: 10.3791/3080
Keywords: Neuroscience, Issue 52, Drosophila, in vivo dissection, giant fiber, ventral nerve cord, dye fill, immunohistochemistry
Boerner, J., Godenschwege, T. A. Whole Mount Preparation of the Adult Drosophila Ventral Nerve Cord for Giant Fiber Dye Injection. J. Vis. Exp. (52), e3080, doi:10.3791/3080 (2011).
To analyze the axonal and dendritic morphology of neurons, it is essential to obtain accurate labeling of neuronal structures. Preparing well labeled samples with little to no tissue damage enables us to analyze cell morphology and to compare individual samples to each other, hence allowing the identification of mutant anomalies.
In the demonstrated dissection method the nervous system remains mostly inside the adult fly Through a dorsal incision, the abdomen and thorax are opened and most of the internal organs are removed. Only the dorsal side of the ventral nerve cord (VNC) and the cervical connective (CvC) containing the big axons of the giant fibers (GFs)1 are exposed, while the brain containing the GF cell body and dendrites remains2 in the intact head. In this preparation most nerves of the VNC should remain attached to their muscles.
Following the dissection, the intracellular filling of the giant fiber (GF) with a fluorescent dye is demonstrated. In the CvC the GF axons are located at the dorsal surface and thus can be easily visualized under a microscope with differential interference contrast (DIC) optics. This allows the injection of the GF axons with dye at this site to label the entire GF including the axons and their terminals in the VNC. This method results in reliable and strong staining of the GFs allowing the neurons to be imaged immediately after filling with an epifluorescent microscope. Alternatively, the fluorescent signal can be enhanced using standard immunohistochemistry procedures3 suitable for high resolution confocal microscopy.
1. Dissection of the ventral nerve cord
Dissection and dye filling of the GF can be performed at room temperature. For all dissection steps cold (4°C) saline should be used to slow down cell metabolism and keep the neurons alive longer.
The dissection can be performed within 5 to 10 minutes. By using fresh, cold saline the dissected, undamaged nervous system will remain alive for at least one hour.
2. Intracellular GF fill
It is recommended to perform the dye filling as soon as possible after the dissection.
3. Representative Results:
A representative dye fill for one GF with Lucifer Yellow is shown in Figure 4A. The image was acquired as an image stack in Nikon Elements software using a spot camera mounted on the microscope. In this sample current was passed through the electrode for about 2 minutes. The GF is thoroughly filled and the large GF terminal in the thorax is well labeled (Figure 4A, ellipse). No postsynaptic neurons are visible in this case, although Lucifer Yellow is small enough to pass through gap junctions. If the dye is not injected long enough into the GF then trans-synaptic fills of the postsynaptic neurons may not been seen because the signal is too weak to be detected. Neurons postsynaptic to the GFs (Figure 4B, arrow heads) can be visualized more reliably using even smaller neuronal tracers, such as Neurobiotin. Injecting a 7% Neurobiotin in 2 M potassium acetate solution with a depolarizing current for 2 minutes is sufficient to label postsynaptic neurons strongly. Neurobiotin can be visualized for confocal microscopy using Streptavidin coupled to dyes of different wavelengths. Because Neurobiotin is not a fluorescent dye, co-injection of Rhodamin-Dextran or Alexa hydrazides in the same solution, can be used to monitor a successful injection into the GF (Figure 4C, from Boerner and Godenschwege, 20105).
Figure 1. Schematic drawing of a fly viewed laterally. The thorax is displayed with a longitudinal incision to visualize the internal structures. During the dissection, the dorsal longitudinal flight muscles (DLMs, blue) were cut without damaging the ventral nerve cord (VNC, deep red), which lies ventral to the flight muscles. The gut (green) lies above the VNC.
Figure 2. Dorsal view of a dissected fly. Two pins are placed behind the head to position the fly. The pins affixed through the flight muscles (DLM) hold the thorax open. Internal organs were removed to expose the ventral nerve cord (VNC).

In wild-type animals the terminal (ellipse) in the thorax is clearly visible. B) Confocal image of a GF dye fill with Neurobiotin in a wild-type fly. Both GFs (arrows) and neurons postsynaptic to the GFs (arrow heads) are labeled. Neurobiotin was visualized with Streptavidin coupled to Cy3. C) Confocal image of wild-type GFs filled with Alexa555.

The nervous system can be dissected without extracting it from the fly body. This has two advantages, first, the dissection causes little damage to the nervous system, and second, most nerves stay attached to the muscles and sensory organs. Performing the dissection, as described, prepares the sample for straight forward dye-labeling of the GFs. Conveniently, the motoneurons postsynaptic to the GFs stay attached to the muscles. Axons, therefore, are undamaged, keeping the neurons alive longer. In addition, damage to the nervous system is likely to disrupt gap junction function and thus is likely to affect the efficacy of trans-synaptic fills.
Lucifer Yellow, Rhodamine dextran, and Alexa Fluor hydrazide sodium salt (Invitrogen) can be used for instant visualization of the GF morphology under a fluorescent microscope, however signal amplification using secondary fluorescent antibodies are recommended for high resolution imaging with a confocal microscope5. Both, Lucifer Yellow as well as Neurobiotin label the postsynaptic cells via trans-synaptic fills, with Neurobiotin being much more reliable. However, Neurobiotin is non-fluorescent and requires immunohistochemistry following injection as well as the co-injection of a second fluorescent dye in order to monitor a successful injection.
This technique has been routinely used to compare the morphology of the GF terminals between individuals of the same genotype or between individuals of different genotypes5,6,7,8. In addition, the morphology of the synaptic terminal can also be correlated with its function by obtaining electrophysiological recordings from the circuit prior to dissection by standard procedures9,10.
Finally, although our demonstrated dissection method only exposed the VNC for dye-injection and imaging of the GF terminal, a subsequent dissection of the brain from the head capsule after dye injection would allow for imaging of the GF soma and dendrites in the brain as well.

A man spent Black Friday on his way to jail when police found that he did something that no good parent would ever do. Police say that the 34-year old shopper decided to go shopping inside Best Buy and leave his two-month old child in the car the entire time.
According to News4jax.com, the Florida Highway Patrol said that an off-duty officer was working at the store and saw the baby in the car, which was locked at the time. The baby was asleep and the parents were nowhere to be found.
The officer then went to the shoppers who were in line and asked all of them who the child's parent was. After 10 minutes, no one confessed, and the officer broke the window and got the baby out. The child appeared to be worn out from being left inside the vehicle while his father was off trying to find the latest deals on tablet PCs and flat screen TVs.
Haider Hassan Khudhair Darwash eventually came back to the car and tried to explain himself, but to no avail. He claims that he thought his wife had the baby, but the officers weren't having it. The man was arrested on felony child neglect.
He will now have to sell that flat screen to pay his bail. Thank God his child was OK.

Ruidoso water reservoirs nearly dried out
Village officials urge residents and visitors to conserve water
RUIDOSO, N.M. - The Village of Ruidoso is still suffering from last year's devastating Little Bear fire.
The fire, combined with three years of drought, has nearly dried out the village's water reservoirs.
Village officials are launching an aggressive water conservation campaign while they fix the problem.
Officials told ABC-7 Grindstone Reservoir is at 15 percent capacity, but you wouldn't think there was a water crisis by the sight of people fishing and enjoying the lake.
"It's been great. We just got here a moment ago and so far we caught one fish but hopefully we catch a whole cooler full," said an El Pasoan visiting with his family.
Ruidoso Utilities Director Randy Camp said the water level is dangerously low.
"The Little Bear fire deprived us of roughly nine months of monsoon water. That loss put us in a pretty critical state here. We're right now at 15 percent total capacity of this lake," Camp said.
The village's other reservoir is doing even worse.
During the fire last year, helicopters used Alto Lake water to fight the fire.
Today the lake is nearly dried up. Officials said there is about 18 inches of water left in there.
Ash and silt left from the fire polluted the runoff that supplied the reservoirs. Camp said Ruidoso will have to rely on ground water.
First, officials need to build pipelines to bring that water to the village. Until those projects are finished, Camp said it's crucial for residents and visitors to conserve water.
"If we can get the public to work with us on public conservation, we can start recovering the lake slowly. If they don't conserve water we might be able to just barely meet demand," he said.
Camp expects the pipelines to be finished by Memorial Day, just before the busy tourist season.
Under current restrictions, residents can't water their lawns unless they have private wells. Fruit trees and vegetables can only be watered by hand by placing water in the bib around the tree or plant.

Mullingar lad Niall Horan seems to have taken his well-known crush on Katy Perry to the next level - the 1D star has joked that she's said yes to his marriage proposal.
Earlier this week, Niall made a very public appeal on Twitter for the California girl uber alles to marry him and following a recent meeting with his mega crush, he posted a snap of the two of them together on Instagram, saying: "She said yes! It's happening! Haha."
Niall also shared a photo of Katy with his band-mates on Instragram with the caption, "Me and my groomsmen and my lovely wife hahahaha."
Perry first encountered Niall when she was a guest judge on X Factor in 2010, and last weekend she told viewers she was happy to put the "cute" Mullingar singer through on the show.
The rest is hysteria.

Early Tuesday morning as Hurricane Sandy was moving off of Long Island, Roof Services received a call from a hospital on the south shore of Nassau County that one of their roofs had sustained a near total blow-off. We were able to visit the site soon after and found that approximately 75% of an existing roof assembly on a 4th floor wing had blown off. At one point it was still actually attached and hanging down the side of the building ending approximately 18" above the ground.
We immediately began mobilizing to perform temporary repairs and first thing Wednesday morning our crew was onsite to remove the hanging section of roofing and the risk posed by its falling uncontrolled we then temporarily sealed the remaining vapor barrier on the now exposed concrete deck in order to provide temporary waterproofing.
We brought in the necessary materials for the comprehensive replacement of the roof assembly as soon as possible and began the roof installation two (2) days later.
For the installation of the new roof we gave special focus to the perimeter attachment knowing that this is how the old roof failed and this is how most catastrophic roof blow-offs occur through failure of the edge.
We installed double nailer of 2" x 6" dimensional lumber which was mechanically attached into the underlying original tongue and groove deck along the perimeter of the roof with heavy duty deck screws to provide a solid and strong attachment. Then to complete the edge of the roof we installed an extruded aluminum compressionary gravel stop which is mechanically attached through the roof membrane into the underlying wood blocking with heavy duty screws. This combination of solidly attached wood blocking and heavy gauge extruded aluminum gravel stop provides the most protection to the exposed roof edge as possible from wind uplift. In our experience of roofing on Long Island we have never seen an edge fastened this way fail due to high winds.
When responding to a catastrophic roof failure as occurred at this hospital, it is important to mobilize immediately to secure the area and provide temporary watertight protection then follow-up with a properly designed roof assembly that will provide long term watertight performance and resistance to blow-off in the future.

ping left -- the same as in
standard closed position
Morley: It's more fun.
DT: ....but should both be either hopping or not hopping together, each doing what the other is doing?
Morley: No, it is not necessary for both to be doing the same thing, hop or no hop.
Monique: We dance at the beginning usually without the hop to get warmed up before we get carried away by the music.
Morley: She hops more than I do. Another thing is that if the music is slow, it is hard to hop.
DT: Monique, you are walking forward in this one. Is it less tiring? Do you need a break sometimes from walking backwards?
Monique: If I were only doing that one step I would be tired of it...
DT: I mean physically tired.
Monique: No. It's more a matter to me of a variety of things to do. You wouldn't want to do the same figure over and over. It's nice to do a lot of things forward, backward, side to side. It keeps it interesting.
DT: So fatigue at this point is not an issue to you?
Monique: No.
Morley: Many dancers only know two, maybe three moves.
DT: And I bet they have fun!
Morley: Of course.
DT: Morley, I see that your right hand almost reaches to Monique's hip. Is that the ideal hold in side by side open position?
Morley: A leader should change the handhold all the time depending on what he wants to do. In the video I am just traveling side by side and that long of a reach is fine. If you wanted to do something out of side by side, you might need to put your right hand on the follower's shoulder blade where you have more control.
Monique: Different dancers put their hands in different places from the hip to the shoulder blade and everything in-between. The important thing is that the lead is clear.
DT: That fits in with the DanceTutor theme -- if it works, do it! (laughs) And quite often more than one thing works. That comment also underscores that leaders dance the figures they know over and over, the same way, and that followers enjoy more variety because different leaders know different figures. Morley, is it a followers' world?
Morley: Well, it helps to know your partner. I know how much I can get away with with Monique.
DT: Do you mean that the leads are different with a familiar partner?
Morley: More automatic I would say. More sure.
