Interior Storm Windows
I am interested in anyone's experience and/or advice regarding interior storm windows. I have researched this and am aware of most of the options available. The Larson interior storms are not available for most of our windows due to their size limitations. Other types I have seen consisting of the double mylar layer seem a little pricey for a somewhat "temporary" solution, etc.
Here is my idea - using 1/8" or 3/16" thick plexiglass - for our large picture windows (56 x 62) - set the plexiglass in a bead of clear silicone (?) around all 4 sides between the interior white vinyl frame of the window; then face the outside edge with a wood trim painted to match the jamb and casing.
Some of my questions are - how much to allow for contraction/expansion of the plexiglass (MOST of my windows face south)? Is this a good use of 100% silicone? What is the best thickness of plexiglass when it gets to 56 x 62? (The cost increases exponentially with the thicker product.)
These will be a "permanent" for the most part.
My understanding of plexiglass is that it has a much lower transfer of both cold and heat when used on the interior, so "feels" less cold than glass and far less condensation.
For the operating sides of the pictures - I'm thinking of "framing" the plexiglass by using wood trim on both sides, using 1/2" on the back, and maybe screen moulding on the front. (This will give me a total of a 1" air space between the glass and the plexiglass.) Then face the edge of the frame with some type of compression strip for a removable "pressure-mount", and fitting this into the same opening as the screen uses.
What would work best for this? (I would like this to be white, but longevity and an effective seal are more important.)
I think this would also work for double hung windows.
I am willing to try several prototypes to get this right. To complete this project I will need to make these for 11 double hung, 12 casements, 16 large picture, 3 large slider, and 7 medium slider windows.
I appreciate any expertise and advise!:boat:
What is the rationale for the storm window? Energy Loss or Sound mitigation.
Energy Loss
Before reaching too deep into your pockets I'd recommend doing a test on one window with a less expensive product like Visqueen and tape to determine how much or if any condensation forms because of moist gas and the window pane surface possibly being below dew point temperature.
1 Attachment(s)
My plan is to increase the overall comfort in the entire house while reducing heating costs (natural gas), which are certain to increase!
We barely notice winds from the north or northwest, even up to 30 mph.
However, even a mild breeze from the south, SE or SW during the winter chills the house. When it gets up to 15 mph or more, it's like the windows are cracked open! (The south side of the house faces the lake, and is mostly windows.)
Those windows are great for the solar gain but as you've found there is also several linear feet for air infiltration that you are attempting to prevent.
The reason I mention a test window is that once you put a material inside to stop air infiltration that same material insulates the glass pane from the room air temperature which in some instances can cause the original glass to reach dew point temperature and form condensation. Even drapes and blinds can act similar keeping room temperature away from window panes.
You may not see condensation during the day, especially with sunshine, but early morning is often a good test or when the gal in the kitchen has the tea kettle going full blast so to speak.
Are the existing windows double pane?
There are usually a whole host of other locations to address beyond double pane windows and putting a storm on them may not improve the total R-Value as much as you are hoping for while they will impede the look.
Where are you located James?
We have triple pane windows on our house and Fairviews comment is quite valid. When the temps drop, we get a little condensation on all windows but especially on windows where the blinds are pulled down. So much so we have to wipe them with a towel when we lift the blinds. We try to keep our humidity inside the home high because of the wood floors and we can get some cold temperatures.
I wonder how much of the cold drafts you are experiencing are from the double pane glass as opposed to air flow infiltrating around the windows.
Oops, forgot to add that I wonder if condensation between the double pane and storm glass is possible when it get extra cold.
In the process of remodeling, I am removing the interior trim, adding foam and/or fiberglass all around the windows, as well as caulking all jambs before repainting, etc. The top floor is complete, and I think it will take another year before all the windows are done that way.
Another part of the remodel will be a complete a new front entry door system, a new entrance door from garage to the house. There are two other entry doors lakeside, plus a patio door (which may need replacing).
The attic has as much insulation as it can hold.
If you have gone to that extent already, perhaps and interior storm is the next course of action.
We have had success with an interior manufacturer by the name of Quanta Panel out of PA. Might want to give them a ring.
You have a mix of windows. Casement windows let least air in, then double hung, and side sliders are known for being drafty. It is all about how the weather strip is used. For the future renovations, consider all casement and french door replacements. For what you have, first check the weatherstrip on your windows, and with canned smoke, check for draft. Only the sliders may need what you are proposing.
Not all double pane glazing are same. It is possible your windows are double pane, but only dry air in between. This doesn't do the job as well, and you may be feeling the draft created indoor side of the windows, not air infiltration.
With canned smoke, check around the window trim, around recessed lights (if you have them), around outlet/switch covers, around base molding. Having insulation done and house wrapped do not mean that points of air infiltration were taken care of. Without gutting the interior, blown in, dense pack cellulose gives the best value for air/insulation.
Plexi glass is expensive, and will not stay clear. Just cleaning the plastic will scratch it and dull it over the years.
If you have hot air furnace, cold spots in areas or between cycles could feel like draft.

Beyond Y2K
With practically everyone else making their predictions for the turn of the century, the temptation is too great to resist. So, at the risk of going out on a limb, here are some thoughts.... - In general, the Y2K thing will be a big yawn.
With practically everyone else making their predictions for the turn of the century, the temptation is too great to resist. So, at the risk of going out on a limb, here are some thoughts....
- In general, the Y2K thing will be a big yawn. Perhaps some glitches and bugs here and there will cause some minor disruptions. But I haven't talked to a single plant engineer who is really concerned at this point.
- Recognition of the vital role played by industrial plant engineers will continue to increase, but that role will be identified by a wide variety of titles. The word asset will continue to appear more often as companies turn their attention to wiser management of their production systems and resources. Asset utilization and return on assets will become increasingly important financial analysis tools.
This emphasis will bring greater attention to the importance of the physical plant and its infrastructure. The concept of a chief plant officer will take hold in a variety of ways as plants and companies put a higher priority on building and preserving the most efficient production systems possible.
- Reliability will increasingly become the goal as companies seek to maximize the potential of such programs as just in time, pull-through, lean manufacturing, supply chain management, and others. And the quest for production reliability will in turn support the development of other programs such as root cause analysis, reliability centered maintenance, predictive maintenance, design for maintainability, and others that don't yet have names.
- The shortage of well-trained, skilled workers will continue for a number of years, forcing industry to play a larger role in education. First, industry will boost its investments in basic skills training. Second, it will grow programs for post-secondary education and training in specialty areas. Third, there will be a shift to continuing education and the retention of valuable employees.
To help you get ready, Plant Engineering and IMPO magazines, in cooperation with the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council, will offer a seminar on "Meeting the Biggest Challenge in Maintenance: Skills Training" on September 25-27, 2000. Watch for more information in the months ahead.

After earning first team NJCAA Division 1 All-American honors at East Mississippi College in 2012-13', Bradley verbally committed to Western Kentucky on June 12.
"I talked about it with my family and then I decided to commit," he said. "They said they were happy and wanted me to be somewhere that was the best fit for me, somewhere that can take me to the next level.
"I talked to coach (Ray) Harper and he seemed really excited. He said he couldn't wait to get me up there, start working out, stuff like that. I can't wait to get up there myself, after I finish my summer classes I'm set."
The 6-foot-5 guard/forward averaged 21.1 points per game at EMCC, shooting 50 percent overall from the field, including 38.6 percent from 3-point range and 87.5 percent from the free throw line.
He also contributed 7.8 rebounds per game during the 2012-13' season.
The junior college All-American is the first commitment for new WKU assistant coach Shawn Forrest.
"He (Forrest) is a good guy," Bradley said. "He's been recruiting me since he was at Louisiana-Lafayette.
"Then he went to WKU and we continued talking, I ended up visiting and loved it. Him, Coach Harper, all the coaches, they're great."
Western Kentucky fans will see the new Hilltopper play the small forward position, and possibly some at power forward.
"My skillset is like a '3' (small forward) or a '4' (power forward,)" Bradley said. "I can post up smaller guys, but I can also take on bigger guys on the perimeter.
"I just felt like it (WKU) was a good fit for me. I plan on getting up there and helping them win NCAA tournament games, that's the plan. I can't wait to be a part of their program."
Talk about Jarekious Bradley and other WKU targets with Hilltopper fans on WKUInsider's premium forums.

Trey Songz To Launch Tour Next Month — Tha Wire
Last year Trey Songz dropped two new projects one which was the mix tape "lemmeholDatBeat2″ and the album "Anticipation II". Starting next month, it's going down. Trey will embark on a 18-day run with the "Anticipation 2our" featuring Big Sean on February 9th. Best of all….there's a date close to home!
Speaking of tours, Young Money's Tyga is gearing up for his. It's been a long time coming, he finally dropped his highly anticipated LP "Careless World: Rise of the Last King this past Friday. So, he'll be busy for the rest of the year as he heads out on a 41-city trek. Press play and get Trey and Tyga's dates close to home.
In quick news, Etta James was laid to rest this weekend. Hundreds of family, friends and fans came out to bid her farewell. Also, Gayle King sat down with "CBS This Morning" last Friday and had a few things to say in regard to Oprah being baby Blue Ivy Carter's Godmother.
We all know, ain't know party like a Diddy party, cause a Diddy party just don't stop. BUT, it's gonna cost ya!
And the cost for the tickets to his latest party, will go down in history as one of his most expensive. Find out how much he's charging per ticket and why.
Plus, Chad Ochocinco is getting ready to participate in his very first Super Bowl this weekend and to celebrate he bought his entire team a little memento. Get all the details now, press play for Tha Wire:
Rev. Jesse Jackson is reportedly asking to meet with the president of The Recording Academy, the organization that actually puts on the Grammys. Why? Because of the cuts to it's Grammy categories. Word is, Rev has also raised the possibility of protests and with the awards less than two weeks away…..that's probably gonna be a problem.
The Rev. sent a letter to president and CEO Neil Portnow, and basically expressed his dismay over the Academy's decision last April to cut it's categories from 109 to 78. Rev. Jackson's letter stated that he's been speaking to several members in the entertainment community and who asked that his organization "meet with you urgently to express our concerns and to see if we might help resolve this conflict and allow the Grammy to do what they do best".
So, you'll know of some of the categories dropped was Zydeco and Cajun music. In addition to that, men and women compete against one another now instead of being put in same sex categories. The Academy maintains that the changes were necessary to make the awards more competitive.

By RANDY GREGORY
In direct contrast to a woefully inexperienced offensive unit, the Rockford football team boasts almost a wealth of riches in comparison. The unit is led by a pair of the rarest commodity at a school the size of Rockford (three-year starters) in bruising middle linebackers Brent Showers and Randy Garvin. Showers has been "showered" with accolades his entire career at the varsity level and Garvin isn't far behind. Drew Boatright and Mason Pant are slated to begin as the outside linebackers for the Rams.
The defensive line also boasts returning all-conference tackle Jarett Sobkowiak and regular rotational player Brandon Houle (one of only two Rams who will go both ways). Also listed as starters are Ryan (senior) and Gabe Baumann (sophomore) and Nick Riggs.
The secondary also returns starter Trevor Coughlin and another regular member of the unit in Josh Olson (the other Ram who will play both offensively and defensively). They are scheduled to be joined by sophomore Tyler Bradfield and Jimmy Olewinski as the starting quartet in the Ram defensive backfield.
While Showers, Garvin, Sobkowiak and Coughlin are officially listed as the only returning defensive starters for the Rams, the rest of the lineup is littered with part-time starters and regular components of the defensive rotation from the 2012 season.
"Once our young men come together with regard to understanding our defensive schemes I believe our defensive unit will become special," said head varsity football coach Ralph Munger. "We were embarrassed on a few occasions in our scrimmage last week defensively so there is a lot of room for improvement there. The play of our inside linebackers and our secondary is going to have to lead the way for us early. We have a team filled with great leadership and a solid work ethic and it may take us a few games to reach our potential offensively. It is paramount that our defense show us the way until that time."

SD had the number 1 ranked defense (in yards) under him in 2010, and he adopted the hybrid 3-4 scheme there. He also successfully coached many other defenses, mainly in the 4-3 scheme.
Either way, he'd be a great fit for us.

You may be running Facebook ad campaigns, but are you getting the most out of every dollar you spend? Our research says you probably aren't, and here's why.
GOALS: I wanted to prove some basic relationships amongst the Facebook ad metrics, and see how else the data can guide us in creating more effective Facebook ads. It's not only about the algorithm(s), but also how the metrics answer questions like "Does my prospect seeing an endorsement from one of their friends always improve my ad results?"
DATA: 172 ads across 10 client campaigns from August 1 – Sept 10, 2010 (roughly 40 recent days).
Question 1: Is CPC inversely proportional to CTR, as it is in AdWords?
Answer 1: Yes.
R2 correlation is 34%, almost a moderate correlation. [NOTE, we had ads with higher CTR than this, but I had to remove some of them because the outliers screwed up the charts such that we couldn't see the most basic and general relationships.]
Take-aways: Most of us are going for CPC's lower than $0.50, even as low as $0.10 CPC. To get there, your ad CTR needs to be from 0.10% to 0.30%. Assume you start with a CPC of $0.70, and for every 0.10% CTR increase, your CPC drops $0.21. Lowering CTR is how to get more Facebook fans cheaply.
Question 2: How do Action Rate (% of those who see an ad who like your fan page) and CTR relate?
Answer 2: They are directly proportional. CTR is typically higher than AR because clicks include actions, and actions (liking) are about 50-70% of clicks. This will vary though depending on whether your ads are written more to get likes, or more to get clicks.
Strong R2 correlation at 82%.
Take aways: When you label your ads, put "like" or "click" in the name. Then you can divide out your data to see what's really going on. Another rule of thumb is that 90% of facebook fan likes happen on the ad itself, not on the fan page. If you need to get conversions on your landing tab, you should be going for clicks, not likes, and adjust your ad copy accordingly.
Question 3: How do Social Impressions relate to Overall Impressions?
Answer 3: Social impressions (ad impressions where an endorsement from your friends can be found in the ad) are naturally less than overall impressions. Social impressions equal about 30% of overall impressions. However, if you target friends of page fans, the social impressions average 96.5%, which is odd… shouldn't it be 100%?
Moderate correlation at 56%.
Question 4: Does an increase in Social Impression % mean a lower Cost Per Conversion? Does it mean a higher Action Rate?
Answer 4: It has no bearing on cost per conversion (negligible correlation).
Surprisingly, it also has no correlation to action rate.
Take aways: Don't optimize for social impressions. One of our best cost-per-conversion ads had a social impression percentage of 16%. Don't believe the hype that social endorsement on an ad translates into higher action rates. This finding is counter-intuitive, but when you argue with data, at best you're Captain Kirk- at worst, you're just a nutjob. I'd definitely love someone else to use their data to confirm or challenge this finding, though.
Question 5: How does your bid relate to actual CPC?
Answer: Low correlation, but you can guess what CPC will be. This is harder to figure because Facebook's ad reports don't put these in the same place. And I'd like to know the bid/CPC relationship for better vs worse cost per conversion ads, but can't get that right now.
Take aways: Don't look for low bid opportunities. This is similar to AdWords- many newbies freak out about raising their bid, or bidding high early on, even though the system's algorithm requires that for success.
Anecdotally, I've found that going for the lowest CPC bids while creating ads leaves you with targeting that doesn't get many impressions. It seems that since CTR is more the determinant of CPC, it's better to go for targeting that makes sense and messaging that's powerful for that group, and rely on CTR to lower your CPC. There seems to be something about the FB ad display algorithm that doesn't favor microtargeting (and by this I mean a level of specificity 18-25 year old males who like women and are in college, interested in video games, located in Salt Lake City).

Discovery Toys Super Marbleworks
If your kids stop to watch those moving ball structures in many US malls, they may enjoy this toy. I remember creating my own structures to roll marbles down when I was a kid. I think I used things like empty paper towel tubes, books, and rulers with the grooves on the top and I had a blast. When our son was about 4-5 my wife got the Discovery Toys Super Marbleworks (or a set very much like this one) for him and we had a blast creating structures to roll the marbles down. There is something hypnotic about watching and hearing the marbles move down, across, and around the various paths you have set up.

- - What tools do you bring in your sailboats? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/100509-what-tools-do-you-bring-your-sailboats.html)
What tools do you bring in your sailboats?
What tools do you bring in your sailboats? The reason I asked is because my wife and I had a boat trouble yesterday and I wished I brought my toolbox to fix it. Let me introduce myself then I will explain what happened at the Chesapeake Bay.
Last October, my wife and I completed the ASA 101 class and passed the exam to earn our certification. We joined a sailing club last May to start our sailing experience. Our club has two 25' sailboats; Hunter and Catalina. Our "home" dock is Deale, MD. So far, we have sailed four times and we look forward to go out in the bay again in the near future. We are planning a three days sailing trip on July 4, 5, & 6. Before we go out on the trip, we need to plan better especially with a toolbox.
What happened yesterday was we sailed the Hunter to Galesville and the trouble occurred when we entered the West River. The boat's mainsheet's pulley got disconnected from the traveler. We lost a control of the boom and we had to lower the mainsail. The pulleys piece cracked open and could not hold on anymore. If I have had a plier, I would try to squeeze the piece to close the gap so we could continue sail with the mainsail. Unfortunately, I had no tools and we used the jib sail and motor on way back to Deale, MD. Our club's boats do not come with tools.
Back to the question here is what tools do you bring in your sailboats? I am open to suggestions. I would start with the following tools for the future sails.
1. Screwdrivers - slot and philip
2. Adjustable Wrench
3. Pliers
4. Allen wrenches ?
6. Hammer?
7. Long nose wrench ?
8. Groove Joint ProPliers ?
I'd appreciate any advice on selecting right tools that are commonly used on sailboats.
Box end wrenches
Electrical multi meter
Socket set just to add a few
Also electrical tape and good old bailing wire can also be handy
Re: What tools do you bring in your sailboats?
I think there is a big difference between a club boat and a personal boat, and even between racers and cruisers. On a club boat, I'd be inclined to bring only a bare minimum set of tools. I'd add open-ended wrenches and a socket set to your list.
Re: What tools do you bring in your sailboats?
I stow:
70 pc socket set in it's formed plastic hard case- includes metric and fractional, 1/4", 3/8", 1/2 drive, spanners, hex keys, screwdriver bits.
soft "mechanical" tool bag- contains various pliers, 3 different sizes of vice grips, an assortment of slot head, phillips head, robertson head screwdrivers, torque wrench (in case), feeler gauges, dead blow mallet, ball peen hammer, 5 lb. short handle sledge, small and medium pry bars, oil filter wrench, magnetic and claw 24" retrievers, another set of allen keys, wrist lanyards for all tools.
small hard case "electrical" tool kit- multi meter, wire cutter, wire stripper/crimper, electrical tape, heat shrink, butane torch, zipties, wire, terminals, connectors, miscellaneous stuff.
Power tool bag- B&D Matrix drill and accessory heads, and charger, tool roll containing jigsaw bits and drill bits.
Woodworking bag- a variety of chisels, from 1/4" - 1/5" in a tool roll, counter sink bits, forstner bits, plug cutters, flush cut saw, folding pull saw, small planes, level, square bevel gauge, wooden mallets, small hammers
It all stows in the locker under the quarter berth- maybe adds 30 lbs to boat load.
Re: What tools do you bring in your sailboats?
A sewing kit (there's that whole 'stitch in time' thing) & Duct tape ( the bonding force of the universe) Spares including clamps, Belts.
Re: What tools do you bring in your sailboats?
When on a boat other than my own, I always carry a Multi-tool ( like a leatherman) that has a pair of pliers among other tools, and I carry a separate knife. You could probably put a small tool kit together in a soft case that could cover many typical needs. An adjustable wrench, a small socket set etc.
Re: What tools do you bring in your sailboats?
We carry enough tools to do general maintenance of all sorts.. including non-major engine repairs like FWC pump change, or H/E removal for cleaning/checking if necessary. Combo wrench set, serious socket set (both metric and imperial) battery drill, all manner of pliers and other necessaries.. A good multimeter, and a wide selection of spares, leftovers, seizing wire, tapes of all sorts, wire/cable cutters and several lengths of dyneema for temporary (or permanent ) lashings.
Probably don't carry enough spare parts for everything, but we do have the tools to fix it once we locate a part if it comes to that.
Re: What tools do you bring in your sailboats?
Every tool but the one I need.
Re: What tools do you bring in your sailboats?
Depends on the boat.
I think its best to go through the boat system by system and work out how you are going to fix whatever breaks. What tools you need depends on what it is you are going to need to fix, some motors need one set of tools, some need another set, for example, it all depends on your boat and your specific systems. Make sure you have instructions, spares, and tools, if you want to be prepared and do it right, and some practice working through those instructions is a good idea too. Try to imagine in advance all the bad stuff that could happen, and figure out what you are going to do about it when it does happen.

Emirates said it planned to "stick with the order for now", but said "cancellations" remained an option.
Emirates' comments come after Airbus said production setbacks would lead to a two-year delay in A380 deliveries.
The European planemaker has warned of "painful job losses" ahead as it shakes up the flagship superjumbo project.
The prospect of cutbacks at Airbus factories has roused the concern of European leaders, with French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Angela Merkel saying job losses should be shared between the countries.
Virgin pressure
Emirates chief executive Tim Clark said he was looking for Toulouse-based Airbus, which is owned by Franco-German aerospace giant EADS, to put its "house in order"
"We have invested a lot in ground facilities so we have to stick with the order for now," Mr Clark told Dow Jones Newswires.
"We cannot wait forever but at this point there is nothing that comes close to the A380 as far as seat capacity."
Separately, UK airline Virgin Atlantic said it had sent Airbus a new set of proposals relating to its order for six of the 555-seater A380 superjumbos.
Virgin Atlantic refused to comment on the contents of the proposals, but said it expected a response from Airbus by the end of next week.
Job assurances
Meanwhile, on Friday, EADS rubber-stamped its purchase of the 20% stake of Airbus it did not hold, from BAE Systems for 2.75bn euros ($3.4bn; £1.85bn).
Setbacks at Airbus have led to interested parties reviewing their share ownership of EADS, in a bid to defend jobs and production.
The conservative premier of the German state of Lower Saxony said he would not rule out all German states buying a stake in EADS after carmaker DaimlerChrysler said it was looking to cut its 22.5% holding.
The Spanish government has also said it is considering almost doubling its 5.5% stake in EADS.
In the UK, where EADS employs 13,000 workers and builds wings for its planes, unions have called on management to give assurances over jobs.
The delays to the Airbus A380 are set to cost the company $6.1bn (£3.3bn) over the next four years.
Airbus has sold 159 of the $250m jets to 16 airlines, many of whom are already demanding penalties for late delivery.

FIREARMS 11.5" GUNNER, 5.56 NATO, Mid-Length, 4150 QPQ
Just what is the GUNNER profile?
The GUNNER (all caps, as it is that
awesome) is the pinnacle of performance, weight, balance, and value. Designed
by our competition shooting staff for those who value performance and
versatility, the GUNNER profile is a blend of two of the best performing
profiles of all time, Gov't and Pencil.
Proving that every once and awhile,
the Government can do something right, the GUNNER's profile from the extension
to the gas block mimics that delicious taper. From there, common sense takes
over and the GUNNER moves to a .625" gas block journal and our famed pencil
profile out front.
Removing the weight from the front
of the barrel ensures maximum versatility and keeps material to the rear to
maximize heat resistance and mitigate whip.
The GUNNER is for real gunners.
All barrels are manufactured under
our ISO:9001 and AS:9100 (pending) quality certifications. We inspect each
barrel over 15 times before it ever reaches you.

Donovan scored on a header and with a right-foot shot from 12 yards that Mainz's keeper Christian Wetklo failed to handle and let slip over the goal line.
Donovan's first goal VIDEO.
Second goal VIDEO.
Donovan also had a goal called back for offside. Miroslav Klose, Luca Toni and Bastian Schweinsteiger got Bayern's other goals. The game drew 16,000 fans in Mainz, which is tied for first place in the German Second Division with Kaiserslautern, against which Donovan scored in a 2-0 win on Monday.
In five friendly games, Donovan, who is on loan until the MLS season starts in mid-March, leads Bayern in scoring ahead of Klose (3 goals), Toni (2), Schweinsteiger (2) and Tim Borowski (2).
Donovan scored his first against Mainz 10 minutes after entering the game. He headed home a cross from Italian Massimo Oddo. Against Kaiserslautern, Donovan scored 12 minutes after subbing in, also on a header from a Oddo cross.
The goals off the bench may increase Bayern's interest in buying Donovan from MLS as Coach Juergen Klinsmann is looking for an effective striker to back up Toni and Klose. The German TV broadcast showed Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness nodding approvingly after Donovan's strike. Whether Donovan gets his wish of a transfer depends greatly on whether Hoeness is willing to pay what MLS would ask - which could be up to $10 million.
In the 83rd minute, Donovan was called offside after he buried a rebound off a Toni shot. In the 90th minute, Donovan met a low cross from Hamit Altintop and rifled it at Wetklo, who could only deflect it over his goal line.
Donovan was asked before the game by Germany's Abendzeitung newspaper on when a decision would be made on a long-term contract with Bayern.
"There's no date," Donovan said. "If I go back to the Galaxy, we have our first game March 21, so I'd have to return at least one week earlier. But that would be sad. I want to make it here. It is my dream. I want stay here a few years."

Hello, we are proud to inform you that our online absence (almost two months) is a memory of the past. We have been working during that time really hard, preparing to launch the Tech Demo – and here are some screenshots of that.
We could work on the tech-demo thanks to our dedicated team and the WIT/WSISiZ University, who allowed us to use their facilities and hardware.
We have also been working on a presentation we are going to show to potential publishers really soon. This was possible thanks to a legion of new members in the team (you can read about them in the Team section), getting us even closer to the release of a full-scale game in the nearest future.
As a special treat, I invite you to visit our gallery where you can find a new pack of concept-arts and renders.
Have a blast!

SRT8 Alcoa Stamped Forged Wheels and Tires
5 Attachment(s)
$1900. Picked up. These are the OEM polished SRT8 rims off a 2010SRT8. 20x9 rims up front, 20x10 rims out back. I ran them with slightly larger tires than stock on my 2008WK because I did not lower it, and wanted to fill up the wheel wells a bit. Tires have no more 6000 miles on them with plenty of tread to go. Look likes maybe 10% worn, if even that.
I dont know if there are any interested buyers over here in WF, but I will not be using these on my 10A that has yet to arrive.
I will probably clean these up a bit this weekend as a few projects in my garage have them coated in saw dust.
There are a couple of nicks on them from curbing them. But they are cosmetic nicks and can be repaired. I had planned on getting them repaired and powder coated black. Just never got around to it. And now I would prefer to sell.
They also come with TPMS sensors that work with 2008-2010 WKs. Maybe others. I am not familiar with which ones are compatible with other Jeeps.

Monk relishing historic clash
Garry Monk has labelled Swansea's weekend meeting with Manchester United as the biggest game in the club's 99-year history.
Last Updated: 17/11/11 10:13am
Swansea City captain Garry Monk has labelled their weekend meeting with Manchester United as the biggest game in the club's 99-year history.
The Swans are enjoying life in the Premier League for the first time having won promotion via the Championship play-off final against Reading last May.
Brendan Rodgers' side have already been turning heads in England's top flight due to their impressive home record, while they also drew at Liverpool last time out.
Monk is well aware of the Red Devils' achievements over the past 20 years and he believes Sir Alex Ferguson's troops set the standard for British football.
The 32-year-old defender thinks securing a positive result against United this weekend would be the icing on what is a sweet cake for the Welsh side.
Biggest game
"United have fantastic players and a great history, so it's the biggest game we've had in the club's history," explained Monk.
"United have been champions for a record number of times now and are one of the biggest clubs in Europe and around the world. They are recognised on a par with Barcelona and Real Madrid, but they set the standard for British football.
"It's one everyone connected to the club - the players, the fans and the city - are looking forward to. It will be a great occasion for everyone.
"It's something we can all be proud of and if we can get a result, it'll be the icing on the cake. But we're at home, doing well and at our best we'll give anyone a game."

SCDA Gets Good News On Sewer Expansion Grant
Toccoa and Stephens County remain in the running for a significant grant to help with a local water and sewer expansion project.
Stephens County Development Authority Executive Director Tim Martin says that the Economic Development Administration has contacted the Development Authority to tell it that its grant application for funding to help install sewer along the Toccoa By-pass was selected for further consideration for funding.
Martin said this is a very positive development.
"While this does not guarantee final approval or legally bind the EDA to make an award to us, we have cleared the biggest hurdle in the review process," said Martin.
Martin went on to say that the Economic Development Administration is considering providing almost all of the funding requested by the Development Authority in the grant application.
"Our original application was for $1.5 million," said Martin. "What we have been told is they may grant us $1.42 million dollars."
Martin said they hope to find out in the Spring officially on whether the Development Authority receives the grant.
It would help fund sewer expansion from the intersection of the By-pass and Big A Road to the By-pass and Highway 106.
Toccoa and StephensCounty have designed a water and sewer expansion project that will build water and sewer improvements on Big A Road between Rose Lane and the Toccoa By-pass, as well as the By-pass between Big A Road and a location near the intersection of the By-pass and Highway 106.
Engineers have said that for a total of about $5.5 million, the project could be built to the point where the city could get sewer service to a property along those corridors quickly as needed for potential development.
Martin says they would continue to pursue other grants and funding sources to pay for the Big A Road portion of the project.

This dissertation focuses on the characterization of two surfaces: mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of hexa(ethylene glycol) and alkyl thiolates (mixed SAM) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm). The synthesis of hexa(ethylene gylcol) alkyl thiol (C11EG6OH) is presented along with the mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance results. The mixed SAM surface was confirmed to be thermally responsive by contact angle goniometry, 35° at 28 °C and 55° at 40 °C. In addition, the mixed SAM surfaces were confirmed to be thermally responsive for various aqueous mediums by tensiometry. Factors such as oxygen, age, and surface mole fraction and how they affect the thermal response of the mixed SAM are discussed. Lastly, rat fibroblasts were grown on the mixed SAM and imaged by phase contrast microscopy to show inhibition of attachment at temperatures below the molecular transition. Qualitative and quantitative measurements of the fibroblast adhesion data are provided that support the hypothesis of the mixed SAM exhibiting a dominantly non-fouling molecular conformation at 25 °C whereas it exhibits a dominantly fouling molecular conformation at 40 °C. The adhesion of six model proteins: bovine serum albumin, collagen, pyruvate kinase, cholera toxin subunit B, ribonuclease, and lysozyme to the model thermally responsive mixed SAM were examined using AFM. All six proteins demonstrated adhesion to the pure component alkyl thiol, and in contrast demonstrated no adhesion to the pure component C11EG6OH SAM at both temperatures examined, 25 and 40 °C. The protein adhesion data to the mixed SAM also supports the hypothesis that the mixed SAM displays a non-fouling molecular conformation at 25 °C whereas it displays a dominantly fouling molecular conformation at 40 °C. PNIPAAm brushes grown on a silicon substrate by atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were imaged by AFM and characterized by XPS. The height of the resulting brushes could be controlled from 5 to 55 nm by reaction time. A thermal response was observed for polymer brushes with a length greater than 20 nm. For polymer brush lengths greater than 20 nm, the static contact angle at 22 °C was 35° and varied from 60 to 80° at 40 °C. The thermal response was also observed using the captive bubble method. Force-distance curves of the PNIPAAm brushes were taken with an unmodified silicon nitride AFM cantilever at incremental temperature steps. At room temperature the force-distance data was fit to the Alexander-de Gennes model resulting in a hydrated polymer length of 235 nm. The Young's modulus was calculated using the Hertz model and changed from 80 MPa at 26 °C to 350 MPa at 40 °C. The solvent condition of the Alexander-de Gennes model was set to the case of good solvent and showed close match to the force-distance data at 26 °C. The match was not as close when the solvent condition was set to theta solvent condition and compared to the force-distance data at 40 °C.

Obama, Sarkozy, Cameron and Harper are war criminals!
Poster Handle
Post Content
The US, Canada, France and the UK are engaging in an illegal war in Libya. They and NATO have openly
violated the UN resolutions that were passed to bring an end to the conflict in Libya. NATO is actively supporting the Al Qaeda terrorists in Libya and have installed them as the defacto government. I do think that if the people of Libya wanted Qaddafi out they could and would have gotten rid of him. The problem however is that there were no large scale protests against Qaddafi's government leading up to the conflict. There is however a great deal of evidence that the CIA and other intelligence agencies funded Islamic extremists in order to create the conflict in Libya which sparked the violence. I have mixed feelings about Qaddafi. On one hand he did do a great deal of good for Libya but there is also evidence he did many bad things as well. That however does not justify a war of aggression to be waged against the people of Libya. Since the conflict began there are have been more than 60,000 civilian casualties due to the NATO bombing of Libya.
A war of aggression is a military conflict waged without the justification of self-defense. Waging such a war of aggression is a crime under the customary international law. The governments of the United States, France, Britain and Canada waged and continues to wage such a war of aggression against Libya. As Libya did not attack the United States, France, Britain or Canada the U.S. lead unprovoked armed attacks against Libya are declared war crimes and crimes against humanity. The leaders of the attacking countries, including United States President Barack Hussein Obama, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, are therefore declared war criminals under International Law. A state which carries out or permits slavery, torture, genocide, war of aggression, or crimes against humanity is always violating customary international law. The leader of any state who carries out or permits slavery, torture, genocide, war of aggression, or crimes against humanity is guilty of an indictable offense.
When the United Nations General Assembly unanimously affirmed the Nürnberg principles in 1946, it affirmed the principle of individual accountability for the crimes of carrying out or permitting slavery, torture, genocide, war of aggression, or crimes against humanity. Barack Hussein Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy, David Cameron and Stephen Harper are all guilty, under International Law, of willful planning, preparing and initiating of a war of aggression against Libya. Libya did not attack Canada, the United States or any other foreign state. The Libyan civil unrest was a domestic conflict. The Libyan leaders have only killed foreign paid mercenaries. Mercenaries are not protected by the Geneva Convention. Any leader of any country can kill any and all mercenaries who are actively participating in acts of rebellion, revolt, sabotage, or any other act that seeks to overthrown the government.

Edit: Now this is only a starting ground. Once these criminals who are currently occupying our governments are made to account for their crimes WE the CITIZENS of EARTH can proceed unhindered to bring the rest of the international criminals to justice. I am speaking of all currently living former heads of state, military and government officials in addition to those individuals who have been allowed to continue to perpetuate crimes against humanity. This includes drug lords, mass murderers, pedophiles and anyone else who has violated the universal laws which protect humanity from cruel and unusual treatment.

Seattle -- A report by Bloomberg said that Nordstrom Inc. will introduce an ongoing free shipping program for all purchases made at its department stores starting next week.
The program was unveiled just months after Nordstrom introduced standard free shipping and returns on its online orders. It was the first department store chain to do so.
The retailer best known for exemplary service is also currently testing same-day delivery of all online orders for a flat $10 charge. Nordstrom previously provided free shipping for store purchases of $25 or more, for out-of-stocks, for website orders that totaled $200 or more, and for occasional promotions.


text: OR YEHUDA, Israel, September 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. ( NASDAQ: MGIC), a global provider of software platforms for enterprise mobility, cloud applications, and business integration, announced today that Rummel Matratzen has used the Magic xpa Application Platform to create and deploy an iPad app for its sales team. The iPad app increases efficiency of the sales team by providing a single point of access to information the sales team needs to efficiently manage customer meetings. A sales person can open Rummel Matratzen's iPad app and have all information, including customer and payment history, order status, sales documentation and return status, available in real-time at the touch of a button. The application is bi-directional, so that sales can also upload contracts and pictures, document returns, and make notes of customer feedback and ideas while on the road. "It was important for us to reduce the number of programs, media and techniques our sales people needed to access and search in order to conduct customer meetings wherever and whenever necessary. This new iPad app enables our sales team to concentrate on the customer relationship rather than finding information," said Helmut Haag, Head of IT at Rummel Matratzen. "We were already using Magic for our internal sales portal desktop app, thus we were able to create the iPad app with just 20% of the effort required for the previous deployment." "There is no escaping the need for enterprise mobility. A growing number of customers, like Rummel Matratzen, are leveraging their existing Magic application platform to easily create mobile enterprise applications. Magic xpa enables users to create mobile applications for all leading mobile operating systems (iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile) and devices (smartphones and tablets) with a single development effort. In addition to Magic's application platform and their existing resources, all Rummel Matratzen needed to deploy the native iPad app was an Apple computer and an iOS developer account," said, Stephan Romeder, General Manager for Magic Software Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Latics land former loan star
Date published: 05 June 2014
JOSEPH Mills has become a full Athletic player in the left-back role vacated by Jonathan Grounds.
The attack-minded defender agreed to sign for the club on a two-year deal from Premier League new boys Burnley after being released from the last year of his Turf Moor contract. The contract has a third year option.
Fleetwood, Bradford and Shrewsbury were believed to be among clubs chasing the player.
Manager Lee Johnson will hope the former Southampton academy star, who has also turned out for Reading, can rediscover the form that made him a fan favourite on loan at Boundary Park last year.
With Mills already out of the picture at Burnley when they were in the Championship, he has looked elsewhere for regular first-team football.
Johnson is delighted to have landed his man: "It's a great signing. He's young, hungry and has got a lot of potential. We will give him an identity and a bit of love and I feel he can be a really good player for us."
Athletic are represented at the Football League's annual general meeting in Portugal from today.
Chief executive Neil Joy is in Faro for the conference, at which member clubs are expected to give a collective thumbs-down to Greg Dyke's controversial plan for a B-team league.
Football League officials will present a new plan which would introduce 16 B teams from Premier League clubs into a revamped Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
Also on the agenda will be the use of 3G pitches, now allowed in all rounds of the FA Cup.
This is a great signing...When he was here on loan at the start of last season I had hoped we could get him for the rest of the season..but it didn't happen...but now a 2 year contract and a possible 1 year extension is great news
well done to gaffer for getting him in, good player he is.
good signing but it looks like Lee,s had some sleepless nights needs to buy some biks ,carry on the good work need a decent midfielder and a good striker not more nobodys
Great signing upwards and onwards
Mills for Grounds - an excellent exchange. Nothing against JG, but his distribution from no 3 was just too sloppy on too many occasions. Young JM has a great willingness to attack space going forward from that same position.
Excellent news, welcome Joseph!
Well that is one good signing, and for me a better player than Grounds!. let us hope that other signings are of similar quality!, and I should look forward to the comming season with greater interest!.
Wow.... I told you LJ new what he was doing. Mills has already proved he is a better player than JG in this position. And probably saved on wage bill too. Have trust/faith and keep supporting the gaffa!
Football League conference in Portugal. Why? What's wrong with Lytham?

Choose-Your-Own-Adventures City Maps Bring Fictional Narratives To Everyday Life
A new concept app offers real life options to people in their everyday lives to allow them to act out various fantasies.
Life is all about living a thrilling adventure and exploring uncharted territories (around your neighborhood). Emily Craven wants people to find new excitements in their lives by hiring a group of award-winning writers to write that excitement straight into your life. Her Choose Your Adventure project is an atypical way to map out our lives – for a short while at least.
Craven is looking to establish a publishing company that will write real life choose-your-own-adventures (CYOA) in her readers' cities. This quirky initiative was inspired by those CYOA books we all came across during our childhoods. Instead of reading about them, we can now live them through maps and QR codes.
The adventure begins as soon as you download the map and the QR code App onto your mobile device. Every map you download will feature a series of QR codes that you can scan to discover different storyline options; different codes will take you to different places on the map. During your journey, you will discover hidden secrets and crevices of your city, while solving mysteries or escaping alien invasions.
Craven is committed to putting together a notable team of adventure writers – more funding will lead to more authors writing more adventures in cities around the world. Currently, her project is showcased on Pozible, which is a crowdfunding site that connects thousands of inventive individuals. Choose Your Adventure is a new form of entertainment that thrives on our thrill seeking desires.

just picked it up yesterday and its awesome. Only has 19,000 miles on it. Heres some pics.
I have been lurking these forums for a while now but I still have some noob questions. I plan to do a full turbo-back exhaust, up-pipe and cobb ap for engine mods. Is it bad to do the exhaust first? I dont have any experience with subarus but on my 300zx that was the "must do" before any other mods. From what Ive read, it seems like it isnt good for subarus without EM and I dont quite understand why. Also the car didnt come with a boost guage and I would like to add one, however, I would like to keep it looking as stock as possible and mount it in the stock location. I would like it to read in psi though.Any ideas?

Grantville Gazette II (2006)
by Eric Flint (Editor)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
baen ebook
(Amy) Much like the first of the Gazettes, this collection is fun but of spotty quality. I laughed out loud a few times, rolled my eyes a few times, but mostly it was fairly generic fare. "The Invisible War" is just about worth the price of admission all on its own, though, so I don't feel I wasted either money or time. Still, I do think the Gazettes are going to be pretty far down my ranking of this shared universe's offerings, overall.
Again, recommended only for completists.
( http://weblog.siliconcerebrate.com/zenos-library/2009/08/grantville_gazette_ii_e... )
(Alistair) Unfortunately for the general level of erudition of my booklog posts, I could greatly simplify talking about Grantville Gazette II by simply saying, see my post on the first Grantville Gazette, and assume that my opinions are essentially the same, which they are.
I liked a couple of the stories better than I had those in either the first of these volumes, or Ring of Fire, for that matter; in particular The Company Men, but overall my opinions on matters of interest and quality remain much the same.

SURVEY: Walgreens Prices Vary Greatly from Store to Store
Buyer beware: A new survey shows prices at Walgreens are all over the map.
Some everyday items vary as much as 55 percent between the chain's stores. Examples: Claritin tablets that cost anywhere from $10 to $16 in New York and coffee prices that range across $3 in Dallas.
Sally Greenberg with the National Consumers League says they want consumers to be aware of the price differences, and they want Walgreens to address the issue.
Walgreens says the prices just reflect the everyday cost of doing business in different neighborhoods. The big lesson: do your own price checking and ask for a match.
"This could happen in a grocery store, this could happen in a mattress store," Greenberg said.

Gents, I have just taken my E36 320i for a MOT, and though it failed on some bushes ABS and fog light bulb, the main worry I have is the fouling that both front wheels are doing on the chassis:
MOT listing:
Nearside front tyre fouling a part of the vehicle
Offside front tyre fouling a part of the vehicle
Its obviously that the previous owner had it lowered, but didn't do it correctly.
Anything I should know about??
I do not know the make of the suspension used, but surely this can be adjusted to stop the fouling, whether steering or suspension geometry??
Thanks for any info in advance.

Don't be afraid to negotiate
I pay about $75 a month for my cable television service from Time Warner Cable. While this may not seem like a lot (that's only $2.50 per day), it adds up: $900 per year for service on a single television in my apartment. Between work and NYC's free attractions, I really don't have much time for TV. So imagine my glee when rival cable network RCN set up a table in my building, complete with free donuts and Don Draper-esque salespeople, advertising a $29.99 per month special for those willing to defect—plus RCN would pay all "termination fees" with your cable provider to sweeten the deal. Switching cable providers seemed like too much of a hassle—an offer isn't truly a deal if it takes hours of effort to return the cable box, set up installation for the new service, etc. But I still figured the RCN poachers could be used to get Time Warner worried… Photo Credit: Getty Images

I didn't take any before pictures because I ended up with a cold a few days before surgery. It was really depressing to look down there anyways so I mostly avoided it. I also had some scarring on my left labia from where I was stitched up when I tore giving birth.
The Dr. elected to fix that for free! He thought insurance would cover everything (it didn't) but he ended up still coming back in the room and saying that regardless of insurance coverage, he would take care of it for me and do a labiaplasty to remove the scar tissue and even everything out. I saw a uerogynecologist who specializes in labiaplasty and vaginoplasty. He did a vaginal reconstruction basically to fix the rectocele, and the labiaplasty.
The surgery was only about an hour and a half and everything went fine. I went home about an hour after. Recovery was/is brutal. I can't lie at all, this is a major surgery and you may want weeks of recovery time. I am on day 7 and still bedridden. I accidentally walked a little too much today and my stitches started bleeding so I'm still more confined to the bed. The first few days were unbareable, much much much worse than the pain of a vaginal birth with tearing. If I knew how bad it would hurt, I almost wouldn't have done it. I was popping oxycontin every hour.
I will edit this to add my pictures

Advertising doesn't affect you, does it? But it does influence your friends and neighbors, right?
If you agree with those sentiments, as many do, you're falling prey to what's become known as the "third-person effect."
As it turns out, advertising is effective on all of us, even you and me. We're just notoriously bad at figuring out our own motives, especially when it comes to sensing the subconscious, half-conscious, and unconscious desires and impulses that drive much of our behavior. But we're much better at the cool observation of others, so we can see that advertising works on "the masses" and even on our friends and neighbors. Hence the third person effect: "advertising doesn't work on me, but it sure seems to affect others."
Want to know how to turn this to your advantage?
First, realize that the third-person effect is stronger when the message isn't directly relevant to the listener/viewer/reader. As PSYBLOG explains it:
In other words people are likely to be influenced more than they think on subjects that are currently of little or no interest to them. An everyday example would be seeing an advert for a car, when you're not in the market for a new car. We'd probably guess it has little or no influence on us, but this research suggests we'd be wrong.
Now, I'm extrapolating a bit here, but this rather precisely matches what my and my colleagues experience with radio advertising: despite the innate desire to reach people who are already in the market right now, the best time to influence your prospect is BEFORE they need what you're selling, so that they enter the market with an already established predisposition to favor you and your brand.
When I don't have a strong opinion and have little vested interest, it doesn't take much to sway my preference. And frankly, this describes exactly how most people think about a great many markets.
Do you really have a strong opinion on which carpet cleaner to call? Or which Small Engine Repair shop is the best? Or who has the best pressure washing service for your deck or fence, and so on?
Most of us don't – until we need that service or product – then we'd rather not make a blind decision. And that's where advertising's influence makes all the difference.
With the right ad campaign, your audience will think of your company first and feel the best about you. Good enough, at least, to pick you instead of the competition, because you'll no longer be a "blind choice."
Pre-internet, this kind of branding campaign meant the prospect would flip open the Yellow Pages and purposefully look for your ad, rather than scanning the page in hopes that one of the ads might catch her eye.
Now, in the age of Google, it means the prospect searches on your companyname or even your Website's URL rather than typic in more generic search terms for your market. And that pretty much screws your competitions' fancy schmancy SEO and PPC work, delivering the prospect straight to your Website and then your door.
Just don't be surprised when your newly thronged store and constantly ringing phone are populated by customers claiming to have heard about you from a friend, rather than your radio ads – 'cause everyone knows they're not influenced by advertising 😉

Great point Jeff, The effect of advertising is more prevalent in this era of marketing. I think secret of the most successful viral campaigns is the same. Thanks for sharing the PSYBLOG link another cool info source as yours.
Joleeta Damap on 06.27.2013
Wow, I've understood this explanation practically,and I've probably been a victuim of this for a long time. Thanks Jeff.
kam on 08.25.2013
hey man tanx am doing a thesis on body image and i need to use third person effect so tanx it was brilliant
sam on 12.09.2015
Thanks for explanation. I'm doing a thesis on media effect. So helpfull… If u have more explanation about indocator of that theory please share with me… 🙂

Experts in a given field don't always make its best teachers or most eloquent explainers. In addition to just being experts, good writers of popular science must also have a knack for taking numbers and concepts that are out of the scope of comprehension for the average reader and rendering them in terms that can be grasped by nearly everyone. Carl Sagan was such a writer. So is Sidney Perkowitz, physicist and author of Universal Foam, an enthusiastic report from the relatively new field of foam science and an irresistibly imaginative look into the prevalence of foam in our lives.
Yes, foam. And yes, there is such a thing as foam science. "For all its frothiness," Perkowitz writes, "foam is a surprisingly intricate formation that has an impact on astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. Foam is not exclusively a solid, liquid or gas; it is made of bubbles or cells of gas within a liquid or a solid, and it combines characteristics of all three states of matter."
Harvard physicist David Weitz calls foam the "neglected material." Neglected, that is, not in its thousands of practical applications but as a field of study unto itself. Historically, foams and foaming substances have been put to use in brewing and baking, in polishing wood, making coffee and champagne, keeping hair moist and pliable for shaving, for sopping up messes and for contraception. Nowadays foams are used in space probes to keep sensitive computer equipment from freezing on the surface of Mars and to capture bits of comet debris for eventual study. On Earth, scientists use models based on foams to determine the optimal stacking arrangement for cells in living tissue, and civic planners study the structure of foam to find out how points on the map can be connected most efficiently with new roads. Much of the Earth itself is made up of foam of one kind or another, and many of the energy systems in the natural world are based around the marvelous properties of foam and bubbles. Bubbles in the sea, for example, dissolve atmospheric gases and solids into seawater and release as much as two trillion pounds of salt into the atmosphere every year. Our lungs work on certain principles of foam physics, as do our livers and kidneys. Everything we see, in fact, and in many cases don't see, is made up of a super-subatomic foam. In many ways it's a world of foam—and we just live in it.
A lot is known about foam, but many of the physical principles that govern its behavior remain a mystery. For example, in recent years foam scientists have pressed into service a computer program called a Surface Evolver. This program lets the user assemble triangular tiles to create a three-dimensional surface of any shape and complexity, which the computer then reconfigures to minimize its area. And for all that, the same scientists still don't know why a soap bubble assumes a certain ideal shape when crowded on all sides by other bubbles in a foam. They don't even know what this shape is, or which principles determine the shape of new cells formed in a foam when smaller bubbles combine to form bigger ones.
Perkowitz obviously revels in the enigmas of his subject matter. For him foams are both practical and theoretical delights, and he waxes lyrical about the foam on a glass of beer or in a cup of espresso with as much alacrity as he describes the foams that make metals stronger and lighter and such daunting medical adversaries of prions and so-called foamy viruses. Perkowitz sees foam everywhere, and the reader cannot resist his enthusiasm for writing about it.
The writing itself has a complementary foaminess to it. In the same way that a spherical soap bubble represents the optimal shape for the volume it contains, Perkowitz's wit is bound by the same laws of economy that keep bubbles together in a foam. His mind scampers all over the place but the flow of his sentences keeps the mind-warping breadth of scientific, historical, literary, linguistic and culinary anecdotes together with the bare minimum of surface tension required to hold them. You could charge through the book in an afternoon, but you would be neglecting a careful examination of all the facets joining the anecdotal bubbles in Perkowitz's foam. The writing, like the substance, is a study in connections.
It can be downright unnerving to read too much about all the things scientists know (or at least hypothesize) about the makeup of the cosmos based on the behavior of particles of matter millions of times too small to be seen through a microscope. Did you know, for example, that in any glass of water minute bubbles of water are collapsing at four times the speed of sound and, in doing so, generating temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun for durations that can be measured in trillionths of seconds? Perkowitz excels at transposing the infinitely large and small of the physical universe into often humorous analogies. The 45 million pounds of polystyrene packing peanuts manufactured every year in the United States, he explains, would be sufficient to cover Manhattan in a layer 3 feet thick. And here's a strategy for envisioning the Planck length, the smallest unit of measure for subatomic distances, which he gamely pilfers from fellow physicist John Wheeler: A Planck length is dwarfed by a single proton in the same ratio that the proton is dwarfed by the acreage of the whole state of New Jersey. It kind of makes you want to trepan yourself after a while.
Wondering what makes beer foamy? How a woodpecker cost NASA $2 million in custom foam work? Curious about foam research and the unlikely heroes of applied foam science? There may never have a more enjoyable way find out than Universal Foam.

Kankakee County Board says 'No' to moratorium, but does not favor landfill
Kankakee County Board members (Tuesday) voted against returning a moratorium to the Solid Waste Disposal Plan. But members made it clear, they're not in favor of a landfill.
New language will be the next step in the plan. The matter is going back to committee with hope that new technology will be included in the solid waste plan. Any landfill development would call for newer, stricter guidelines.

Greenville Family Dollar robbed at gunpoint (Video)
By Kelli Ameling, Bruce Bentley Ryan Jeltema and Cory Smith
Daily News staff writers
GREENVILLE — Police are searching for the man who allegedly robbed the Family Dollar in Greenville at gunpoint on Thursday evening.
Greenville Public Safety Sgt. Dennis Magirl said the robber apparently walked into the store around 8:30 p.m. armed with a handgun and wearing a black ski mask.
The suspect pointed a handgun at the cashier and demanded cash. Two employees emptied the contents of the cash register, then locked themselves in the manager's office in the back of the store with a customer who was in the store at the time and called 911.
"The employees went back there on their own," Magirl said.
Police treated the incident as a hostage situation when the arrived because the suspect's whereabouts were unknown at the time.
"They (employees) were not sure if he was still in the store," Magirl said.
Police immediately set up a perimeter armed with large rifles. Patrol officers entered the building and brought the customer and both employees outside to safety.
Then a Michigan State Police K-9 team searched the store to see if the suspect was still inside.
Detectives interviewed the employees at the Greenville Department of Public Safety headquarters. All three declined comment to The Daily News.
Magirl said nobody was injured.
"Everybody's fine. Nobody was hurt," he said.
Police blocked off the area around the store at the corner of Franklin and Grove streets for about an hour while searching for the suspect and collecting evidence.
K-9 teams from around the area converged in Greenville to help with the search. Gary Valentine, interim director of the Greenville Department of Public Safety, said K-9 teams never found a good scent trail.
Police are still looking for a man about six feet tall and 170 pounds wearing green gloves, black boots, dark colored jeans and a gray and white plaid hoodie with a white hood. They are not sure of the suspect's last known location or direction of travel.
Anyone with information on the suspect or his whereabouts is asked to call Montcalm County Central Dispatch at (989) 831-5253, Silent Observer at (616) 774-2345 or the Greenville Department of Public Safety at (616) 754-9161.
"Complaint is open and actively being investigated," Valentine said.
This is the second armed robbery in Greenville in three months. Huntington Bank downtown was robbed at gunpoint on Nov. 9.
The FBI is handling that case. Agents have reported little progress in the investigation.
Valentine would not comment on whether the Family Dollar and Huntington Bank robberies are related.

when we first moved to oakland from the city, we were worried that we wouldn't be able to find a dr we loved as much as dr gilligan at park animal hospital. rather than go with unknown referral, we used yelp.com to search for appropriate facilities and read about lake veterinary hospital. it's ridiculous how friendly and nice people are here. truly. the front desk staff is always super attentive and we've met with two doctors who are truly lovely : dr alexander and dr dunn. highly recommend this facility!posted: February 22nd, 2007

Winston Churchill: The Author Who Saved Britain
Hold on, we hear you say – author? But Winston Churchill was a politician!
True. But while Churchill had two stints as prime minister and is most famous for his wartime leadership, many people don't realize that his real passion was writing. That should come as no surprise, really; his oft-quoted, inspiring and impassioned speeches were a clear and obvious indication of his talent for and love of the English language. He was a genius with words.
His books also paid his rather substantial bills. Discover more about a remarkable writing career that began in 1898.

Grout found between pieces of tile is often a difficult material to clean, especially if it has been stained by red wine. There are four easy steps to take to remove a stubborn red wine stain from grout.
First, dry the area with a clean cloth. Then, use a sponge soaked in a combination of dish soap and warm water to wipe the grout area clean.
Second, create a mixture which includes 4 tbsp. each of baking soda, ammonia, and undiluted white vinegar and a liter and a half of water. Spray this solution onto the stain and let sit for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, rinse area with clean water.
Third, spray hydrogen peroxide directly onto the stain. Leave on for 30 minutes, and then repeat if needed.
Last, create a paste composed of bleach and baking soda and scrub the stain with a grout brush.
After rinsing off the paste, the red wine stain should be gone.
To learn more about removing stains from grout, contact the Austin tile and grout cleaning experts of WOW Total Cleaning by calling 512-291-0048.

Don't blow my house up, bro
When I saw a few weeks ago that a Muslim rapper had put out a dis record going at hipster rappers, partly because he was pissed at those dumbass scarfs they wear around their necks, of course I found it somewhat amusing.
After all, it involved two groups that lend themselves quite nicely to my brand of stereotype humor.
If it involved a single rapper I gave a shit about, I probably would have done a story on it. But, alas, it didn't.
However, I had to go in the other day, when a guy sent me a copy of "Lesson C," this guy named Mic Terror's response to Mazzi's "Lesson A."
(At some point in time or another, there was a "Lesson B," involving Q-Tip, but I don't care enough about hip-hop to figure out what it has to do with the price of tea in China. Sue me.)
Mic Terror wasn't actually named in "Lesson A" (who even knew there was such a pesron?), but he's from Chicago and he wears tight pants, so you can see why he might have had an issue.
"Lesson C" basically consists of a bunch of hilarious anti-Arab slurs, which, as I mentioned in the post I ended up doing on it, was perhaps not the most creatively impressive tack for a dis record, but damn it if it didn't being one of the more humorous dis records I've heard in a minute anyway.
You know the old saying about people who live in glass houses, which of course is just gonna be compounded in a childish-ass genre such as hip-hop. As I mentioned in my post on "Lesson C," it's not like Nas won his battle with Jay-Z because he brought up a bunch of good points in "Ether."
Speaking of classic dis records, Mazzi (one wonders if he's familiar with the group Mazzy Star) actually went so far as to pull the classic Company Flow "Linda Tripp" maneuver on Mic Terror for his response to "Lesson C," "Class Dismissed."
(My bad if you're a young kid, and hence have no idea what I'm talking about, or why a rap group would name a song "Linda Tripp." Maybe try Wikipedia.)
Mazzi somehow got Mic Terror's phone number and called him up. (Word on the street is that he lives at home with his mom.) To Mic Terror's credit he didn't actually confess over the phone that he thinks Mazzi is dope and that he only dissed him because he wanted to be down with him. Nah, Mazzi's just not a good enough rapper for that kind of thing. But Mic Terror does come off a little bit soft.
For what it's worth though, you get the idea there was a genuine fear this guy Mazzi might try to blow up his house or some shit. If you listen to the phone call, Mic Terror is basically playing it cool until Mazzi is like, "I got your phone number, I can get your address." At which point Mic Terror is like, "Whoa, hold on a sec, bro! I was just fucking around on the Internets."
At one point, I think he even says something to the effect of, "You don't have to take it to the level of threatening people." Which would suggest to me that he viewed this guy calling his house talking about how he's got his address as out of bounds. Where as, when Mic Terror was talking about shooting Mazzi in the head in, "Lesson C," he obviously just meant that metaphorically – because it's in a song, natch.
As far as the rest of the song goes, there wasn't a whole lot that struck me one way or another. It's definitely not the kind of dis record that could stand on its own as any kind of strong statement sans the phone call tacked onto the beginning of it.
Two things I did notice: a) I could be mistaken (sometimes I have a hard time deciphering rap lyrics, because I'm not really black), but it sounds like Mazzi made a reference to the gay parade. Did he just reference and/or rip off Eli Porter, and if so, what does that mean? and b) I like how Mazzi says he's gonna use Mic Terror's tactics against him, but then he specifically avoids anything that has to do with Mic Terror's race.
What do you sensitive Muslims think? I thought this was one of the more interesting rap battles I've heard in a minute, but I know both times I've posted about it on my own site, people threw all kinds of bitchfits, talking about how no one gives a shit, and then of course trying to turn it around on me. That's just because none of these guys are famous right, and people go on the Internets to see pictures of famous people, which comfort them, right? Speak on it.

Universum comments on Tajbert
WBC interim super featherweight champion Vitali Tajbert has been charged with assault by Stuttgart police for allegedly punching a man after being provoked outside a Stuttgart disco on Sunday night. The victim was admitted to the hospital in critical condition with a cerebral hemorrhage but is now improving. Tajbert's promoter Universum Box-Promotion has issued the following statement:
"Universum will not comment on the ongoing proceedings out of respect for the work of the investigating authorities. For those who have injured Vitali Tajbert, the presumption of innocence also applies. Universum has full confidence in the work of the investigators and hopes that any injuries, no matter who suffered it or what role the person played in the incident, will heal without consequences. For reasons stated above, it is asked to momentarily refrain from further inquiries."
