Oppenheimer are proud to distribute the Victorinox 20cm curved blade fillet knife, offering fantastic flexibility for accurate filleting of raw fish and meat.
Oppenheimer advises that using the correct knife is essential for precise, efficient and easy preparation and filleting of raw fish and meat before cooking. The Victorinox 20cm curved blade fillet knife has been designed for precisely this application.
Using a stiff blade makes it very difficult to get close to fish bones without wasting any meat, which is why the Victorinox fillet knife blades are designed to be flexible. This blade flexibility of the filleting knives also makes it is much easier to manipulate the blade for accurate removal of skin from flesh.
The Victorinox Curved Blade Flexible 20cm Fillet Knife is also suitable for a number of culinary applications including:
- slicing poultry accurately and evenly,
- butterflying chicken breasts,
- fine slicing of foods such as sashimi, carpaccio and smoked salmon,
- filleting and preparation of fish

By now, it is common knowledge that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Gear on September 4th. But details as to what hardware the smartwatch will feature and the functionality it will contain were hazy, until now.
Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch will most likely come with a 2.5-inch OLED display that shows a full spectrum of colours with a resolution of 320 X 320. Under the hood, it will feature a Samsung Exynos 4212 dual core 1.5GHz CPU with Mali-400 MP4 GPU. Also, the camera will be integrated into the strap itself, and the smartwatch will support Bluetooth 4.0 LE, which means that it will be able to sync with wireless health monitoring hardware. Additionally, the watch itself might come with a bevy of sensors to monitor a user's vitals.
The watch will also feature tiny speakers in the clasp of the watch, along with built-in NFC for authenticating your mobile device, which can also be used for bypassing the lock screen. The watch will have an accelerometer which will automatically switch the screen on when it detects a movement toward the eyes. While the watch will include the usual touch, swipe and select gestures, it is not likely to have text-input, given the size of the screen.
All Galaxy Gear watches that have been going out to developers seem to be based on Android 4.1 or 4.2, and it looks like the syncing between the watch and the mobile or tablet it is connected to is seamless. For instance, if you are looking at an email notification on the watch, and then switch to your mobile, the same email will be shown on the mobile. There will also be Facebook and Twitter integration.
The watch will connect with a Samsung watch manager app, which manages the connection between the mobile and the watch, and uses Bluetooth LE. Apps that make use of the watch hardware will come not from Google's Play store, but from the App store maintained by Samsung. This is surely in a bid to wean itself off Google. Considering this fact, it makes sense that the watch will most likely connect to Samsung's Galaxy series of mobiles.
Samsung will debut the Galaxy Gear at the IFA in Berlin, and there are rumours indicating that it will start selling the watch in Times Square immediately after the announcement.

Guild Colours
The colours of Canadian Guild of Knitters are blue and yellow or gold: blue representing the sea and skies that embrace Canada and golden yellow representing the sun, growth, optimism and the wealthy knitting tradition of Canada.
Our Logo
Our current logo was designed in 2007. The closed circular needle represents Canada's circle of knitters. The three hearts represent not only a love of knitting, but three generations of knitters: past, present, and future. Our tag line "for the Love of Knit" was derived from our three hearts and the often-used phrase "for the love of it."
Who We Are
Cynthia MacDougall is a 30-year plus knitter taught to knit by her grandmother. A full-time secretary, she has written articles for Canadian fibre and craft magazines, and edited the newsletter for her local spinning guild for several years. Cynthia contributed a design to the book Kids'Knitted Sweaters and More and she published a quarterly magazine called Knit Together for seven years. She is currently a contributing author to A Needle Pulling Thread and the administrator for Canadian Guild of Knitters. In 2005 she launched level 1 of the Knitting Accreditation Program, and she anticipates launch of Level 2 of this five-level program in early 2013.
Cynthia has developed several workshops: "Project Boards: The Creative You", which ties in with the project boards of the Knitting Accreditation Program; "Shawl Construction - From Fibre to Finish", a study of shawl shapes and the materials used to make them; and a series of shawl workshops that break down shawl construction in more detail. Upcoming workshops include one about steeking, and one that will cover cast ons and cast offs.
Zoey is CGK's mascot and writing buddy. Her job is to remind Cynthia to take a break from the computer every once in a while, and her ability to determine dinnertime is second to none.
It is our belief in the viability of a knitting guild for Canada that has brought us to this point. We value what a guild can bring to our craft, and hope you will share that vision with us!
Our goal is to educate knitters...for the love of knit!

Hey! I'm Sydney and welcome to the Speak Now World Tour!! Haha, anyways, I saw Taylor this July for the first time in concert and it was hands down the best day of my life. I've been a fan since I heard Teardrops On My Guitar 5 years ago! I feel like I've grown up with Tay for the past few years and will NEVER be able to thank her for everything she has done for me.
Before Taylor, i never knew what passion was until I discovered the guitar. Before Taylor, I did not know it was possible to have a family of people I have never met but love as much as those I've known for years. Swifties are the most kind, compassionate and generous people I know and I would like to thank every one of you for being so wonderful:) I have never met Taylor but I like to think that if we stand by her forever, someday we all will get our chance! Add me and we can be friends

My cat will only eat his food for a day or so then refuses! I get another brand and he does the same thing! Why?
We have a new baby 8 months old and my cat have changed his eating habits entirely in the last month. He was very sick about a month ago with sever vomiting- x-rays blood work showed nothing. Put him on antibiotics, stomach meds, and special food and he got better. Ran out of speical food and we went back to our old and he ate it twice then quit, got another brand, and it twice then quit....do I need to get the special food again? He's not acting sick, is he just being picky because of the changes in his enviroment? I can't handle this for much longer, 3 differnt bags of expensive food and a $600 vet bill when its just related to stress may mean he'll have to find a new home...any ideas?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Did you follow up with your vet after your cat's illness to make sure he was cured? If he still isn't feeling good it could affect his appetite. If he ate the special food, I would keep him on it. Changing his food, especially if he's had digestive problems in the past, will upset his system even more. He could also be annoyed by the little human. Does he still get major playtimes and cuddles? If not you, then hubby? You know that rehoming him could be tricky as there is such an overwhelming overpopulation of cats/kittens in shelters now. I would try the special food again. Since your vet treated him and knows what his limitations are, I would call them and share with them what you've shared with us. They will be able to give you advice on how to get him to eat. Good luck. I hope he's able to keep his home!

You should also consider switching him to canned food, which is much better for his health and weight. Cats can develop sensitivities and allergies to dry food ingredients, which may have led to the vomiting and to his refusing to eat the food you used to give him. Canned food is higher in protein and much lower in carbs. Try one that has no (or very little) grain in it and give him a 5.5 ounce can divided into 2-3 meals a day.

The old food could be the cause in the first place, And stress(from a new baby) in a cat can aggrivate stomach problems.Its alot less expensive to feed the special food that he got better on, than another vet bill. He could have inflamatory bowl disease(IBD)and he knows after eating something that makes him sick, not to eat it again.
I have a cat who throws up every time the grandkids come over and get routy. My other cat died from possible IBD after sevier vomiting and some weight loss,he had blood work done that showed nothing except his protiens were low (vet sayed probably from throwing up), got meds for two weeks,but he wouldnt eat anything more than twice.He lost 3/4 of body weight in 3 weeks.
There are ways to condition a cat to more stressful situations. you should watch the program "My cat from hell" It really teaches you how to think more like your cat, be a little creative in reducing the stress he may have.Try moving his food, and room he can feel safe away from baby.

Entomologist Ken Walker took 75 students in Year 7 at Eltham High School for a nature walk around their school grounds last week. Ken also gave a talk about biodiversity, but he believes that biodiversity is best understood through fieldwork.
The students discovered this batch of beautifully architectural eggs:
Eggs laid on young eucalyptus leaves.Image: Ken WalkerSource: Museum Victoria
Detail of insect eggs.Image: Ken WalkerSource: Museum Victoria
They were laid by a Eucalyptus Tortoise Beetle (Paropsis atomaria) which belongs to the family Chrysomelidae, or leaf beetles. This is a very large and common family of beetles that feed on leaves. Some species of chrysomelids are introduced pests, such as the Elm Leaf Beetle that threatens many of Melbourne's historic elms, but the Eucalyptus Tortoise Beetle is native to Australia. These eggs will hatch into voracious leaf-munching larvae.

Next year Ken will help the students do a full survey of the ants found at Eltham High to teach them more about classification and the biodiversity of their own school.

Aarushi murder: Recreating the night she died
What happened in the night of May 15 may hold the key to the case.
New Delhi: On the morning of May 16, 2008, Aarushi, the 14-year-old daughter of an affluent dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, was found murdered in her home in Noida's Jalvayu Vihar.
The mystery surrounding the case has made it one of India's most intriguing murder whodunnit ever. Police and sleuths of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) agree that what happened in the intervening night of May 15 and early morning of May 16 holds the key to the case.
Here's two sequence of events pieced together based on the reports of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) teams probing the high-profile case.
Arun Kumar's report
CBI joint director Arun Kumar said in press conference in July, 2008 that Dr Rajesh Talwar's compounder Krishna and Rajkumar and Vijay Mandal, the domestic helps of one of Talwars' neighbour were under suspicion for the murder of Aarushi.
Kumar event went as far ahead as to say that Krishna had confessed to the crime in the narco-analysis test. Reconstructing the scene of crime, Kumar said Rajkumar, Krishna and Talwar's domestic help Hemraj were drinking heavily on the night of May 15. They went into Aarushi's room in their inebriated state with the intention of raping her.
When she raised an alarm, they gagged and hit her on the head. Hemraj panicked and a quarrel broke out between Rajkumar, Krishna and Hemraj. The trio decided to sort out the issue on the terrace fearing that the Talwars would wake up. On the terrace, Rajkumar and Krishna allegedly slit Hemraj's throat.
They returned to Aarushi's room and killed her the same way, Kumar said. No deception was found in the polygraph tests conducted on Rajesh and Nupur Talwar and their psycho-analysis tests came out clean.
Kumar said the entry to the house seemed friendly. He said Krishna and Rajkumar along with Vijay Mandal went to the Talwar residence at night and was let in by Hemraj.
On why the parents heard no commotion, Arun Kumar said the combined noises of two air-conditioners in the Talwars' bedroom drown all sounds of scuffle.
Nilabh Kishore's report
Then SP (CBI) Nilabh Kishore's report is completely different from Kumar's. His report says the three servants were not present at the Talwar home when the murders took place.
On the night of the murder, the Internet router in the apartment remained active. The last activity was at 3:43 am when it was finally switched off, nearly three hours after the approximate time of the murder.
Aarushi, who normally stayed up late talking on her mobile phone, apparently switched it off at 9:10 p.m. on the night of May 15. The mobile phone was missing and was recovered only a year after the murders with its memory wiped clean.
According to Kishore's report, Rajkumar was at the railway station from 11:30 pm to receive the wife of Talwars' family friend Durrani.
Krishna's family members vouched for him and said he was at home on the night of the murders.
In all, the two conflicting reports crippled the progress of the case. The account of what actually happened on the night of May 15 still remains hazy.

Anyone have experience with these?
I witnessed a 40+ years experienced old timer find a buried gas line with 2 copper rods bent into "L" shape. I was impressed and I can now locate my buried water supply line with it but haven't really tried much else. I feel confident that I could locate my buried power line. The principles of induced current and magnetic fields can help me to have confidence in those.
However the same technique is supposed to be able to find lost items. That's where it gets hokey for me.

I watched a farmer do the same thing here on atctimmy farm. When we moved in nobody knew where our septic tank was. A friend from church said he could come over and find it.
He took two metal coat hangers and made two #7 shaped metal "thingies". Then he walked around and found two or three drain pipes under the ground. It was cool to watch him do it.
I don't know anything about finding lost "items", just that it does work to find running water.

Oh yes...divining rods work great. I was taught to use a dowsing rod by my friend Harvey (the invisible rabbit). Pooka rabbits are extremely skilled at finding just about anything using these tools. In fact...I believe Pooka's may have invented them.

I will go on record and say that I didn't believe it either. In fact, when my friend told me what he was going to do I laughed. I thought he was joking.
When he came to the farm and did it I marked where he got "hits" with the little flags you get with an invisible fence for dogs. Soon we had thee distinct lines of flags going in three separate directions.
When he was done we dug it up and he had found two pipes for draining away rain water and the pipe that led to the septic tank.
So, laugh all you want. It works.

I still don't understand it, but I do believe it works.
I once had an ol-timer whittle up a fresh branch, shaped like a Y, and had me hold it with my palms up and torque/twist each leg of the Y so that the long end pointed up a little. He then walked me up to his well, and I could not stop the branch from pointing down.
I have a septic guy that I use for all of my builds. He uses two coat hangers sitting in shotgun shells. Obviously it works for him, but I tried it and it didn't work a bit.

I've seen our water dept. guys use them to find lines that weren't where they were thought to be. It was interesting. I do believe they work, but think it's kind of an art to using them effectively. The guy on the water dept. said it was some guy who was about 70 years old who taught him how to use one.

I can do it and my brother can do it, but our parents cannot. I believe there is a perfectly good scientific explanation for it, but I don't know what it is. I don't believe there is any kind of mystical voodoo. I can do it for water sources, so the stick will even pull towards a person because people are high in liquid content. I don't believe the lost object finding though, that's what metal detectors and bloodhounds are for.
I prefer a forked stick, like from a willow tree. It's a really weird thing to hold that forked stick FIRM and it will start to PULL and DRAG DOWN when it gets to a water source.

Just the other day on Unearthing Americas Secrets...(a good show BTW) a long time dowser hit on 50 out of 60ish possible buried artifacts.
In other words they flagged about 60 locations where he said that something was in the ground and 50 of those were positive hits.

Another thing. I've had people say, "well, you're relaxing your hands or rolling the stick across your palms, making the stick dip." My dad said that, so I white knuckled that stick and made him grab on to my hand to prove I wasn't making it move.

Chapter 7
Illnesses like Armand's have one fortunate thing about them: they either kill
outright or are very soon overcome. A fortnight after the events which I have just
related Armand was convalescent, and we had already become great friends.
During the whole course of his illness I had hardly left his side.
Spring was profuse in its flowers, its leaves, its birds, its songs; and my friend's
window opened gaily upon his garden, from which a reviving breath of health
seemed to come to him. The doctor had allowed him to get up, and we often sat
talking at the open window, at the hour when the sun is at its height, from twelve
to two. I was careful not to refer to Marguerite, fearing lest the name should
awaken sad recollections hidden under the apparent calm of the invalid; but
Armand, on the contrary, seemed to delight in speaking of her, not as formerly,
with tears in his eyes, but with a sweet smile which reassured me as to the state
of his mind.
I had noticed that ever since his last visit to the cemetery, and the sight which
had brought on so violent a crisis, sorrow seemed to have been overcome by
sickness, and Marguerite's death no longer appeared to him under its former
aspect. A kind of consolation had sprung from the certainty of which he was now
fully persuaded, and in order to banish the sombre picture which often presented
itself to him, he returned upon the happy recollections of his liaison with
Marguerite, and seemed resolved to think of nothing else.
The body was too much weakened by the attack of fever, and even by the
process of its cure, to permit him any violent emotions, and the universal joy of
spring which wrapped him round carried his thoughts instinctively to images of
joy. He had always obstinately refused to tell his family of the danger which he
had been in, and when he was well again his father did not even know that he
had been ill.
One evening we had sat at the window later than usual; the weather had been
superb, and the sun sank to sleep in a twilight dazzling with gold and azure.
Though we were in Paris, the verdure which surrounded us seemed to shut us off
from the world, and our conversation was only now and again disturbed by the
sound of a passing vehicle.
"It was about this time of the year, on the evening of a day like this, that I first met
Marguerite," said Armand to me, as if he were listening to his own thoughts
rather than to what I was saying. I did not answer. Then turning toward me, he

Thsi dummy rounds are super cool. One annoying thing about the set I got though was that there was one round with a silvery metal casing, and the other nine had the copper looking casing.
This is still a pretty neat set to own, and now I'm looking for some kind of German WWII box to put them in.

Stor lägenhet, allt är nytt och mycket ren, mycket lätt av nycklar, jag rekommenderar den. Martina
Tolle Wohnung, alles neu und sehr sauber, sehr unkomplizierte Schlüsselübergabe, kann ich wärmstens weiter empfehlen. Martina
This was the second time we stayed in this appartment. The appartement is very nice and has a beautiful view from the balcony, overlooking the whole of Lisbon. Nuno is a very gentle host. The appartment is fully equipped and nicely renovated! It is a big of a climb, but that is good for burning calories after all the good food Lisbon has to offer. We can definately recommed to stay here for a few days or a whole week!
Nice flat, very clean and all you need in bathroom and kitchen. We did like the flair at the balcony, there you can feel the spirit of the town. Nuno is very friendly. Thank you for the nice time in Lisboa
Wonderul appartment in Graça with a nice view. It is quiet and has enough space for a family or two couples. Kitchen is okay, the beds are good and the small bathroom is fine. It is located pretty close to Tram 28 and only a 15 minute walk to Martim Moniz. We liked our stay there a lot.
Our stay in Nuno's apartment was amazing. The location is great (2 metrostations very near). We took a taxi to the apartment (about 18 euros), and he met us there, and let us in. It was very spacious, clean, exactly like the photos, plus the extra of an amazing view. Definitely coming back here!
A very nice flat - perfect for two couples or a family with two children (not too small children because you have to get up a very steep hill just before the flat). Beautiful view from the living room and balcony! Everything was very clean and tidy.
We walked into the city centre (about 15 minutes to Praca Figueira) and only used the metro once or twice. Just down the hill there is a square with cafés (Largo is a good one to have breakfast at the weekends) and the restaurant Ramiro (very popular) is just next to the square.
Just a few remarks on what could be easily improved concerning the flat: a mirror in one of the bedrooms and a trash can in the bathroom. We also had trouble with the key of the front door - I would change the lock sometime...
Very nice and clean apartment near the metro Line Intendente. Lovely little balcony with a beautiful view especially when the Sun sets in the evening. Close to metro, bus and tramline. 10-15 minutes walk to the city center of Lisbon and Rua Augusta. There is a supermarket ( Lidl) 200 meters from the apartment.
The apartment is located on the top of a small but very steep hill, so it can be a tough walk up to the apartment.
We only saw Nuno at the day of our arrivel, but he was helpful through e-mail, and available throughout the whole day, if we had any questions.
The only thing is that the head pillows are either very hard and high, or very low and soft. Maybe a pillow in between would be nice. But all in all we had a very nice
stay, and the apartment is highly recommendable. We wouldn't hesitate to rent the apartment another time, if we one day are going to Lisbon again.
Michael and Michéle from Denmark
Very nice apartment (once you get up the hill..:)) !!Thanks, Nuno, for calling a taxi for us. We arrived at the airport in time...had a wonderful stay in Lisboa.
We had a great time in Lisbon. The appartement is very nice and has a beautiful view from the balcony, overlooking the whole of Lisbon. Nuno is a gentle host.

We can definately recommed to stay here for a few days or a whole week!
Nice location, beautiful view and fully renovated rooms. Bit of a steep climb up, but for us it was on walking distance from the centre.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The sixth inning was a charm for the Los Angeles Angels for the second night in a row.
One night after scoring seven runs in the sixth in a win over the Philadelphia Phillies, the Angels scored three times in the sixth Wednesday night, turning a deficit into a 4-3 win at Angel Stadium.
The win allowed the Angels to gain a game on the American League West-leading Oakland A's, who lost to Kansas City. The Angels (70-49) are now 2 1 / 2games back.
Second baseman Howie Kendrick had the key hit of the pivotal sixth inning, a bloop single with the bases loaded that drove in two runs.

FORT FISHER, NC (WWAY) — The North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher is continuing to rehabilitate a group of Loggerhead sea turtles they received at the beginning of the year.
The turtles suffer from cold-stunning, which makes them lethargic which can cause the turtles to wash ashore.
Due to the aquariums efforts, three out of the eight cold-stunned sea turtles have been listed as healthy and released back into the ocean.
"The turtles are lots better," said Special Activities Guide Lauren Avery. "They're eating more, we do have three of them that have been released already out of the eight. The 5 remaining that are still improving, trying to make sure they're eating enough and gaining enough weight to head back out."
The aquarium will be free tomorrow in celebration on Martin Luther King.

Afghan gathering agrees peace moves with Taliban
By Sayed Salahuddin and Hamid Shalizi
KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan tribal elders and religious leaders agreed Friday to make peace with the Taliban, handing President Hamid Karzai a mandate to open negotiations with the insurgents who are fighting foreign forces and his government.
Karzai had called the "peace jirga" to win national support for his plan to offer an amnesty, cash and job incentives to Taliban foot soldiers while arranging asylum for top figures in a second country and getting their names struck off a U.N. and U.S. blacklist.
"Now the path is clear, the path that has been shown and chosen by you, we will go on that step-by-step and this path will Inshallah, take us to our destination," he told the delegates gathered in a tent under heavy security.
He urged the Taliban, who have virtually fought tens of thousands of U.S.-led NATO forces and the Afghan army to a bloody stalemate, to stop fighting.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon welcomed the decisions of the three-day jirga, saying it was a significant step toward reaching out to all Afghans to promote peace and stability.
"The United Nations supports these national efforts to end conflict in Afghanistan, and remains fully committed to working with the Afghan authorities as they strive for a peaceful life," he said in a statement.
But there were few signs that the Taliban, who have dismissed the jirga as a phoney American-inspired show to perpetuate their involvement in the country, were ready to respond to the peace offer.

95 454 with older aluminum head
i have a 95 454 rebuilt studded head bolts and crank, stock rods stock piston std. bore, 077 aluminum heads, .595 .621 solid lift cam......? is what is the best head gaskets to use for this application. some say felpro 1037 and some say victor reins. who has done this and had great success,with what gaskets?
I have used either on late BBC short blocks. I use ProComp aluminum heads which are designed like early BBC.. I prefer the Victor-Reinz. They stick to block surface well. I have never had a leak or failure with either gaskets. Victors are just a pain to clean off, if service is needed..
what are part number/s that you have because i read somewhere there different ones for each side of block with victor reins and i hear the victor reins are used with a bigger bore block 502 ect...mine is std.also u have used felpro 1037 with no problem and just want to know why u prefer victor gaskets

A British tourist has spoken of her "nightmare" attack by two cheetahs when she tried to protect a young girl from the large cats.
Violet D'Mello, from Aberdeen, said she survived by "playing dead" at the Kragga Kamma Game Park in Port Elizabeth, South Africa last weekend.
Mrs D'Mello had entered the enclosure along with another family to pose for a photo beside the cats.
One of the cheetahs then grabbed a young girl from the family and Mrs D'Mello intervened to protect her.
She told the Port Elizabeth Herald: "It all happened in just a few minutes, but it was a nightmare.
"They weren't being vicious. You could tell they were just excited, but it became serious very quickly.
"It all happened so fast. After his sister was free, another boy tried to make a run for it.
"As I stopped him, something jumped me from behind."
A guide in the park managed to pull the cheetah off but another cat then attacked the 60-year-old.
People on the scene managed to get both cats off and they escaped the enclosure.
Mrs D'Mello added: "Something inside me just said, 'Don't move. Don't move at all. Don't react, just play dead'."
"This was meant to be a holiday, but it's really turned into a nightmare."
Mrs D'Mello suffered injuries to her head, stomach and legs during the incident, which happened during a holiday with her husband Archie.
Park manager Mike Cantor described the hand-reared cheetahs, brothers Mark and Monty, as "tame".
He said: "It's not something we've ever really experienced. It's obviously very unfortunate, and we're looking into what may have startled or riled up the cheetahs.
"We've had these animals for four years, dozens of people have come through here and seen them and fallen in love with them, so it pains us to hear about something like this.
"From what we've been told, there was a lot of commotion at the scene, which, unfortunately, most likely aggravated them somewhat.
"We're also considering the possibility that a female in heat in one of the neighbouring enclosures might have played a role here, but we can't be sure at this stage."
The enclosure at the park has been closed while the incident is investigated.

Date of Stay: September, 2013
Beautiful views. Not a lot of amenities, no showers (too bad) Very dark at night. Its like generic camping..electric and H2O only in our loop. Some loops don't have anything. Ranger Pat was wonderful, he guided us to some great activities in the area including a spectacular drive through the Big Horn basin! Don't miss the Buffalo Bill Museum. Theres an RV park in Cody but Buffalo Bill SP gives you more room. We would stay again if we could get another lake view site.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
Beautiful park. We had a spot on top of a hill with a super view of the Snake river. The park is full of trails and lots of sightseeing. The only bad point was one of the Rangers didn't seem too keen on renting canoes to us because we didn't have any prior experience. We would camp here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
We stayed here to avoid the flooding in N Colorado. Arrived late (dusk) after confirming they had spots available. It had been raining so the park was full of puddles. The asphalt roads are in poor condition so there are potholes everywhere and chunks of asphalt in the roads. The first spot we went to had too much water, potholes, and mud. We opted for a different spot that looked more level and had less water. After leveling the 5th wheel my wife went inside our rig only to find she had tracked in dog crap on her shoes. Looking further we found several more piles of dog crap on our site. These were from a LARGE dog. I looked out in the field next to the park and there was a guy with 3 great danes running loose....found the source. The park is old and there are a lot of full timers. The owner evidently doesn't care and the park reflects it. When my wife told the clerk about the dog crap problem she said "Why don't you just leave.." Nice attitude! On the bright side the on-site restaurant is nice and they have a good staff. Please remember to clean up after your pets
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Great park with a great staff! The spots were clean and fairly level. The rangers are extremely helpful They even cut down a small tree that was rubbing against our rig. They also offer a lot of things to do in the area. Don't miss the Pendleton underground tour, its really neat. The only drawback is the traffic noise from the freeway. Sites further away from the freeway do a little better.

Drilling Multiple Holes in Studs
I am rewiring my house, and pulling alot of romex, as well as several cat 6 and coax home runs from each room. I have a question regarding drilling holes in studs. I know the holes can't be more than 40% of stud depth in a load bearing wall, or 60% through max of 2 consecutive double studs. I'm planning to drill mainly 1" holes in my 2x4 studs. I was wondering however how far apart the holes need to be from the edge of one hole to the edge of the next. Also, I assume it would be a bad idea to have two or three holes basically right on top of each other making say a 1 inch wide by 3 inch high oval, or kind of notch in the middle of the stud. My main issues are coming where I'm having to go over or under a window, or rout above a door. Where I only have like a foot between door and ceiling, and need to pull alot of wires through that small space.
Spacing is not too much an issue here with that size hole. However it is a good practice to keep electrical (high voltage lines) from the cable, tv and telephone. (low voltage lines) Keep these about 6" away from each other.
Right. The spacing of electrical and my low voltage lines is what is causing the problem. I have to run a bunch of wires above a door, and under a window (4-6 coax and 12-14 Cat6). Under the window I have maybe a foot to run all those low voltage wires, and there are also a couple power wires running along a few inches from the floor. I'm thinking I will need probably 3 1" holes to run all that wire, and I was thinking if I drilled them right on top of each other so it became one 3" long 1" wide hole, I could easily fit everything, but wasn't sure about the structural integrity of running through multiple studs this way.
If I were to wing it.
My thoughts if I were to do it and could find no other information out there. If its a load bearing wall. I would follow similar instructions that I had to do when drilling into my floor joists (I know not the same thing), but I would do something similar. It states that two holes in the same joist have to be at least 2x the distance of the larger diameter apart. So say one hole is 1" (in your case) and the other is 5/8". Leave at least a 2" gap between them. But then again its your house so your comfort level may require you to do much more research.
What about notching the wall then adding a nail plate? I know I can notch 25% of a load bearing wall, so 7/8", but how tall can the notch be?
Also I have read that holes cannot be located on the same section of stud as a notch or cut. What does this mean? What is a section of stud?
Finally, how far apart would notches have to be? Would a similar twice as far as the longest notch apply?
much better to drill holes and not make a notch. For the amount of wires you need 2 1" holes may be enough
I figured holes were better, but I was thinking if you can make a 3 inch long notch that is 7/8" deep, why not be able to make a 3 inch long hole 7/8 - 1" wide in the middle. This seems like it would be more structurally sound than a notch.

Apple has been forced to delay the already-late white iPhone 4 yet again. Manufacturing problems are the reason, and the rumors say that getting the paint thick enough to look good, while still leaving space to fit the thing together is the actual cause. Whatever it is, one thing's for sure. Apple isn't happy. In fact, so annoyed is the normally professional PR department that it barely bothered to re-write last month's press-release. Here they are, side-by-side (or top-by-bottom).
June 23, 2010:
White models of Apple's new iPhone 4 have proven more challenging to manufacture than expected, and as a result they will not be available until the second half of July. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.
And today:
White models of Apple's new iPhone® 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.
Can you spot the difference? The new press release gains an "®" symbol, a new, much more vague date and the word "proven" has been dropped in favor of "continued". My favorite is the unchanged last line, which says that the black iPhone is the more popular model. Could that be, do you think, because Apple hasn't yet sold a single white iPhone 4?
The "later this year" part at least gets the PR folks off the hook for a while. Even if things don't get better at the white iPhone factory, they have over five months before they'll have to issue another statement. And a good thing too. What with antennagate, the Bumper Program and Apple's record performance this quarter, the poor poppets at Apple Public Relations have had to write almost one release per week. They could do with a break.

Buying Big Ticket Items

Buying Furniture for Less
Low-Cost Car
For many of us, the thought of having to purchase or replace a high-dollar item can send us into a panic. Fortunately, there are alternatives to paying high commissions and huge retail markups.
Whether you are merely a person trying to make it on your own, or start your own small business, replacing an automobile does not have to be a traumatic event. While perusing your local newspaper, flip to the section where legal notices are publicized. Within those notices are often advertisements for cars and trucks being placed for auction. These items can be placed on the auction block for a variety of reasons including estate sales, business closings, mechanics' liens, and collateral sales. Perhaps the most important part of the ads is the terms of sale. The terms of sale outline the time and location of the sale, if inspections are allowed before the sale, if warranties are available, what forms of payment are accepted and when the full bidding price, including fees, should be paid. If there is a make and model that catches your eye, simply access a Kelley Bluebook to be sure what the vehicle is worth. Subtract from the price you are willing to pay any fees and taxes. This should leave you with the highest bid you are willing to place. Being fully informed is the best way to avoid unnecessary disappointment.
Here are three tips to keep any auctions goers from being led astray. First, when you arrive at the auction, be sure to read any material you are asked to sign before being handed your bidding card. Either the material you are asked to sign, or your bidding card will delineate what taxes and any other fees you may be expected to pay on top of your high bid, if you are the successful bidder. There are usually fees for title preparation and state sales tax. Where many auto auction winners become dismayed is the auctioneer fee. This fee is usually on a sliding scale. For example, if your winning bid is between $1 and $999, then you would pay an additional $180; or if between $1,000 and $1,999, then the fee may be $300. If these items are not clearly explained, the vehicle may not be such a deal after all. It is best to leave before an expensive mistake is made.
Second, when the bidding starts, do not just yell out the amount to which you are willing to bid and hope that no one else beats you. You may be able to save much more money by bidding in smaller increments. The ten extra minutes you spend bidding may save you hundreds of dollars or more.
Third, new auction attendees are often duped in the heat of the moment, when they get involved in a bidding war. The car that they really want is sitting in front of them. The auctioneer is rattling off numbers and the bidding speeds up. It comes down to two bidders bouncing bids back and forth. If you are one of these bidders, you have bid much higher than you had planned because you let your ego out distance your budget. Maybe you won the car or truck, but you did not save money in the long run.
Used furniture and other household odds and ends can be obtained in a similar fashion. Among the other legal advertisements, there are often notices to parties who failed to pay the charges for their storage space. The owners of the storage facilities have no other means of retrieving their lost income than to sell the contents of the space. Unfortunately, these items are sold as a lot, meaning you have to buy everything that was in the storage space. Although this may seem a bit cumbersome, it can be turned into a positive event. Anything that you do not need, you can sell either through a newspaper ad, Internet auction, or local flea market. Donating these items to charitable organizations may also be an option, and a possible tax deduction.
If you take these tips to heart, you can keep your money in your wallet, where it belongs.

Friday is Ada Lovelace Day, an international day celebrating the achievements of women in science, tech, engineering and maths. Named after the woman widely held to be the first computer programmer, the day is in its third year now, and is going from strength to strength.
I started Ada Lovelace Day in 2009 as a reaction to the offensive objectification of women in tech. The words I wrote back then, still ring true:
The objectification of women is bad enough when it's done by the media, but when it's done by a conference organiser or tech commentator or famous tech publication, what message does it send? Nothing but "You will never be taken seriously, but we might take notice of you if you're hot."File Photo. Employees of Infosys at the Bangalore campus. AFP Photo
But what to do? Well, let's pull back from the anger a little, and start to look instead at why it might be that women feel less secure in their abilities than most men, and what might help change that. Undoubtedly it's a complex issue, but recent research may shed some light: Psychologist Penelope Lockwood discovered that women need to see female role models more than men need to see male ones.
Well, that's a relatively simple problem to begin to address. If women need female role models, let's come together to highlight the women in technology that we look up to. Let's create new role models and make sure that whenever the question "Who are the leading women in tech?" is asked, that we all have a list of candidates on the tips of our tongues.
The celebration began with a simple pledge on British civil action site, Pledgebank, which was signed by nearly 2,000 people. In 2010, we held our first official event. And this year, our new website features a directory of women in science, tech, engineering and maths which we hope will help promote women working in these fields.
The day itself – which lasts 50 hours when you add it all up – is well underway and the tweets from participants are coming thick and fast. The hope is that, as people talk more about the women they admire, it will become easier for everyone to recognise – and remember – the female tech luminaries that are currently overlooked.
If you find that you can't currently namecheck three Indian women in tech off the top of your head, check out this year's winners of the Google India Women in Engineering Award. Inaugurated in 2008, the award highlights "women students in computer science and related majors, and inspire them to become active participants and leaders in creating technology." These are the CTOs, entrepreneurs and ground-breakers of the future.
Or pop along to the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing India in Bangalore in December. Nominations for their Women Entrepreneur Quest, a "contest designed to promote and showcase early-stage technology ventures founded or led by women entrepreneurs in all technologies" are open until 31 October, so you have plenty of time to nominate the women leaders you admire.
But, just as the rest of the world, there is still plenty of work to be done on balancing out gender ratios in Indian tech. Only last year, Reuters'Kavita Chandran moderated a women in tech panel discussion at a Bangalore tech event:
[T]here was one common thread that bound [the participants] together – their fight against society, among other odds, to gain their glories.
"When I told my family that I wanted to join IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Kharagpur 40 years ago, my relatives said I will be 'an unmarketable product in the marriage market'," said Jharna Majumdar, a professor at a technology institute in Bangalore and the retired Head of Aerial Image Exploitation Division (AIED) at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
Research by the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology from 2007 found that, while the number of women in technical fields was growing, it is still very low indeed. For example, the percentage of women engineers graduating from ITT Bombay has grown from 1.8% in 1972 to 8% in 2005. Rising 6.2% in 33 years isn't exactly an astounding success, but it is at least movement in the right direction.
The truth is that it takes time and persistence to change perception, which means that one, or two, or even three Ada Lovelace Days won't be enough. We need to keep working on raising the profile of women in tech, year after year, month after month, day after day. And this is where you come in.
Who are the notable women in the Indian tech scene? The entrepreneurs, the designers, the coders, the CTOs? Which women have inspired you? Whose achievements do you admire? I want to be able to walk way from this Ada Lovelace Day knowing a lot more about the successful Indian women in tech. Tell me who your Ada Lovelace Day heroines are in the comments!

As an indispensible basic raw material industry for the development of national economy, production and construction, cement industry has become quite large with economic development. Since the beginning of the 21st century, cement industry has undergone a great transformation from a backward scattered mode of production to an intensive one with new technology and equipment, which has from one side demonstrated the rapid development of Chinese economy.
The economic imbalance between different regions has led to the unequal distribution and development of cement industry. Currently, a pattern of three belts, respectively Pearl River Delta represented by Guangdong Province, Yangtze River Delta represented by Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu as well as Bohai Rim represented by Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Shandong, has taken shape in cement industry.
Cement output in China in 2014 was 2.47619 billion tons, increasing 1.8% year on year. In recent years, cement market in China has been in a state of fluctuation. At the end of 2010, in order to hit target of utility-based energy efficiency, the Chinese government switched off power, which resulted in the short supply and therefore a historical high price of cement in the peak season; In 2011, a consensus of controlling capacity and creating benefits was reached in the trade but influenced by the new capacity, the formerly high price started to drop since the middle of the year; In 2012, as cement capacity increased greatly, the price hit a new low before picking up at the end of the year; At the end of 2013, cement price recovered to an unexpected level just lower than that at the end of 2010 due to the low price of coal; In 2014, CEMPI in China dropped from 116.77 at the beginning of the year to 99.8 at the end of the year, decreasing 14.53% within the year. And CEMPI reached its peak of 116.64 in early January and its bottom of 99.45 in early September. Within 2014, CEMPI kept dropping. Specifically, the first quarter reported the largest decline of 5.18%, the second quarter 4.58%, the third quarter 4.63% and the fourth quarter a much smaller decline of 0.95% than the former three quarters despite being at the peak season.
New urbanization which boosts the demand for cement is an opportunity facing Chinese cement industry now. From the perspectives of lag degree, development space and policy tone, urbanization will be deepened fast in a long time.
It is estimated that 13 million people will be transferred to city for every one percent increase in urbanization rate. Suppose each person needed a housing area of 30 square meters, 0.39 billion square meters will be added. Suppose 0.2 tons of cement was needed for each square meter, 78 million tons of cement will be used for every one percent increase in urbanization rate. If various supporting facilities were counted too, the practical demand for cement will exceed 0.1 billion tons. Therefore, if urbanization rate rose from 54.8% at the end of 2014 to 65% by 2020 with about 0.14 billion people entering cities, the construction of residential houses and supporting facilities will come out with a demand of over 1 billion tons for cement.
Due to the large investment in infrastructure and local governments' concern about debt and capital, the growth in infrastructure investment is expected to slow down in the next few years. In 2014, about 1.8 billion square meters of house were newly built by real estate developers, decreasing 10.74% compared with 2013. And it is estimated that the growth in real estate investment will slow down too. On the whole, infrastructure investment in 2013-2014 new projects and projects under construction will continue in the near future. Besides, the shanty town transformation, low-cost housing construction and promotion of urbanization all support the demand for cement. Meanwhile, it is also possible for the Chinese government to increase fixed asset investment so as to stimulate economic growth.
Cement industry is expected to recover its prosperity in the next few years. Besides, as structural adjustment has completed i.e. new dry process accounts for over 95% of the capacity and production line with a daily output of over 5000 tons occupies over 60% of new dry production line, both labor productivity and enterprise performance improved greatly, which fastens the development of cement industry.
As China is now at the phase of economic transformation and upgrading, there are many investment opportunities in the cement industry with the integrative development of industrialization, informatization, new urbanization and agricultural modernization.
