dd1, unfortunately this got in the way of the black rifle I wanted this year. I gave it a lot of thought and knew my neck and shoulder were going to cause me more problems and so the crossbow took priority. Maybe next year I'll finally add the 223 rifle?????

Be on guard against those low, low mortgage rates — you may end up spending more by refinancing than if you had not.
Your home mortgage is probably your single largest monthly expenditure.
Most people look at that payment as a fact of life -- you need a place
to live, after all. Have you ever considered, however, paying off your
home loan? Most home mortgage plans allow for prepayment, and there are
many good reasons to do so.
Homebuyers have had the advantage for six years, especially in hard-hit
real estate markets. But now sellers are enjoying a resurgence.
As mortgage rates sink deeper into record territory, homeowners are
refinancing into 15-year loans at a pace not seen in a decade.
President Obama has recently shown how distressed homeowners have been
taking advantage of the administration's refinance programs but that
more needs to be done. He has announced figures that demonstrate how, in
many troubled housing markets, struggling homeowners are successfully
pursuing government-backed refinance programs.
More than 200,000 letters from Bank of America will begin landing in
homeowners' mailboxes this week, the bank said Tuesday.
The housing market continues to tread water after six years of record foreclosures.
On Tuesday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) plans to
announce that it may soon be imposing a new set of rules upon the
heavily criticized mortgage service sector. The rules are an attempt to
promote culpability and transparency in an industry where such things
are in short supply.
The Oakland bungalow where young revolutionaries founded the Black
Panther Party in the late '60s has been remodeled into a trendy
Reverse mortgages are loans that allow seniors older than the age of 62 to access part of the equity in their homes. Whlle they can be a good idea for some, they're far less safe
than they sound for many senior citizens, including baby
boomers aged 62 to 64.

The Olympics helped hotels group Millennium & Copthorne enjoy a 20% rise in room rates in London this summer, although its hotels in the capital were slightly emptier than the same period a year ago.
M&C said the popularity of its hotels in Mayfair and Knightsbridge over the Games saw revenues per available room — known as RevPAR in hotel-speak — grow by 20.2% in the Olympic third quarter, as room rates increased by a similar amount.
Occupancy slipped 0.1% but the group had already previously warned that past Olympic Games had not been at all good for business. "Performance for the period was considerably stronger than our competitive set," it said.
M&C, which runs over 100 hotels around the world, said London's strength had continued since September, with RevPAR up 6.9%. Elsewhere, however, renovations in New York and Taipei and lower demand in Singapore saw M&C's like-for-like revenues in the nine months fall 1.2% to £190.6 million. Pre-tax profit was down 22% at £117.1 million, partly because the same period a year ago included £33.8 million from the sale of land in Kuala Lumpur.
M&C , yet to assess the full impact of Hurricane Sandy on its New York operations, remains "cautious in light of continuing economic uncertainty", but said 2012 full-year performance should be in line with expectations.Reuse content

There is no denying that Apple's Smart Cover and the Anymode Smart Case, as the accessory was marketed, are strikingly similar, both in terms of looks and functionality. This is probably why Samsung needed to step in and to ask for the withdrawal of the latter from the market soon after its release. After all, the last thing that Samsung needs right now is yet another copyright infringement accusation from Apple.
In response to the issue, Samsung stated in its blog that it never certified the accessory for use with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 even though the label on the photos below suggests otherwise. Furthermore, the company clarifies that not a single unit of the Anymode Smart Case has actually been sold, and we are guessing that none will ever be.

Evaluating Your Estate Plan for Farm Families Will Be Held June 20
Talking about estate planning is hard. Making an estate plan can be even harder. Where do I start? What information do I need? Is the plan I have up-to-date?
Evaluating Your Estate Plan is an all-day workshop that gives participants tools and the chance to use those tools to help them prepare or revise an estate plan. It has been highly successful throughout Iowa. According to evaluations, within one year, 69% of participants had held a family meeting and 64% of participants had met with their attorney to review their estate plan.
Fremont County Extension is sponsoring Evaluating Your Estate Plan for Farm Families on June 20 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The Gathering Place in Sidney. Topics include the language of estate planning, needed information, setting goals, and gift, estate, and inheritance taxes.
Presenters are Melissa O'Rourke and Kelvin Leibold, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Farm and Agribusiness Management Specialists. O'Rourke is an attorney who has experience in agricultural law and estate and succession planning. Leibold has been helping farmers with management and business decisions for decades.
O'Rourke said, "I feel Evaluating Your Estate Plan is a powerful program because participants tell me again and again that they learn specific steps to revise their family business estate plan."
The cost is $50 per person, which includes resource materials, refreshments and lunch. Space is limited and pre-registration is required by June 17. To register, call Fremont County Extension at (712) 374-2351.

Bathroom floor water damage.
I have some water damage to the subfloor underneath my tile. I pulled up the tile to exposed the water damaged area. My intention was to cut out the damaged area replace it and put the tile back.
I drilled a hole in the subfloor (I am not sure this is the correct term) and it appears to be 2 sheets of 3/4" plywood. My question is do I need to cut through both sheets, or can I just remove one layer?
I will use a circular saw to cut the floor. Any suggestions on how to cut the floor next a wall or in a tight corner?
I appreciate any advice, thanks!
You can cut through one at a time and see what the second layer looks like. Set the blade depth a shade under 3/4".
As far as the corners and close to the walls, a circular saw won't do it. If the subfloor is rotten that close to the wall you will have to use a demo saw, in which case you won't be able to cut through just one layer.
Rent a toe kick saw for close to the wall or if you have lots of $'s get a Fein multi-tool.

Shadow Of The Valley
Every now and again I read the local papers and wonder: What the hell am I doing in the printing business? With all the cash sloshing around Silicon Valley--a mere 30-minute drive from my factory--why aren't I part of the dot.com madness?
Certainly, the case can be made that my proximity to the valley does me no good. My rent and labor costs are about 20% higher than my Southern California competitors, and high-tech companies make off with my best workers. Meanwhile, friends and neighbors who have cashed in on the boom buzz around in Porsches buying big estates. I have one family member whose personal net worth, at age 40, is several times larger than my entire company's, thanks to his recent initial public offering.
Yes, I'm living in the shadow of the valley, and it's easy to wallow in Silicon envy. I even sit back sometimes and fantasize about putting together a company I've dubbed packaging.com. The mood usually passes quickly, though. I know I have no talent for the dot.com world. I don't deeply understand the technology, and I have no path-breaking ideas to grab the attention of financiers on Palo Alto's Sand Hill Road. And besides, I actually enjoy the brick-and-mortar world, the whirl of our machinery, the fact that we make things.
Still, the infernal valley poses thorny business problems quite apart from my emotional state. For instance, I compete hard for skilled workers, especially maintenance mechanics and electricians. Last year, one of our electricians was offered 30% more money by a Sunnyvale company that did high-tech manufacturing for Intel and Hewlett-Packard. I was floored. While talented, this young man had little formal education and no background in computing. But we needed him, so we matched the offer and he stayed. However, I suspect at some point he'll get a deal that will price him beyond our reach.
Our location just north of San Jose poses problems for holding on to our less marketable employees as well. The housing market in the Bay Area is the hottest in the country, with prices up 20% annually over the past three years, thanks to the success of dot.com stock option programs. Although our average wage of $13.60 an hour puts us in the top echelon among manufacturers nationally, it isn't enough to buy a home around here. So, we've had to step in and help some employees with downpayments. And our company has joined two credit unions to help workers finance home and car purchases.
Human resources problems aren't the only ones posed by Silicon Valley. Rents in Union City, where our factory is located, have jumped 15% over the last year as computer and Internet companies have swung into the area. Traffic jams through San Jose sometimes hold up shipments to our customers in Salinas, 45 minutes south. And the local government often seems more inclined to woo clean dot.com startups than help us through the prosaic permit process to expand our less sightly operations, like our new, 30,000-square-foot warehouse.
Living in the dot.com universe does have some benefits. I think the area's high-tech expectations have made us more likely to adopt cutting-edge ideas. We were among the first in our business to have e-mail, a network, and to go online, all of which vastly improved our customer service. No doubt this will give us a leg up as our industry, like most others, consolidates. I also think we're more innovative in our approach to human resource issues because of the surrounding market. Hiring bonuses, housing loans, and tuition reimbursement have become part of our arsenal, just as they are part of Apple's or Intel's. As a result, I think we have the most talented collection of employees we've had in years.
It's also true that with a population of 5 million-plus, not everyone wants to, or can, work for the valley's high-tech companies. As many manufacturers have moved out of the area to save money, they've left a well-trained pool of workers. As one of the last package printers remaining in the area, that has left us in surprisingly good shape. Still, I can't stop wondering: Why can't an old-line manufacturer like us cash in on the IPO craze? Hey, we're a packaging company. Maybe we just need a new wrapper.

- At first this was going to be a big three panel triptych type illustration with a bunch of characters, then I had a revelation and thought "or I could do not that!". As you can see, that is route I ended up going. I think it worked out for the best.
- Who are you?
- I'm The Staziac, a doodler out of San Diego, CA. I draw stuff and sometimes even things. In fact, I remember this one time some friends and I were out at Olive Garden, and I had ordered some ravioli. Man that was good, we should do that again.
- Any shout outs?
- Shout out to Captain Planet. Where you at Captain-bro?! The world has fallen into turmoil since you ducked out, we need you back... it's because you can't find a new planeteer willing to rock that lame-o heart ring isn't it? :(

Next time your internet connection goes down you will wish you lived in Germany. According to a ruling by the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe access to the internet is now legally recognised as an "essential" part of life and Germans now have the right to claim compensation from service providers should their access be disrupted. The argument of the court went like this:
"Most people in Germany use the Internet daily. Thus, it has become an essential medium in the life of German society, the disruption of which has an immediate impact on the course of everyday life."
A Life Offline
The decision was brought about following the lawsuit of a man who had his internet access erroneously disconnected for two months between late 2008 and early 2009. A telephone and fax service the provider offered also failed. The man resorted to using mobile devices and had already been compensated by the provider for their cost, but the lawsuit specifically saw him sue for additional compensation for the daily impact of lost internet, phone and fax services. Fax and phone (he had a mobile) claims were dismissed, but the internet claim was upheld though the exact figure has yet to be decided.
"Due to easy access to information, the internet has overtaken the role of mass media such as encyclopaedias, print press and TV," said the court ruling. "It allows global exchange between the users, such as through the email, forums, blogs and social media. Besides, it is becoming more and more crucial for negotiating and striking deals as well as fulfilment of public service obligations."
Reaction to the case has been predictable kicking off another round of 'Is the Internet a Basic Human right?' debates. The last time this happened was when Frank La Rue, a special rapporteur to the United Nations, wrote the report "on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression" which came down heavily in favour of this viewpoint as well as net neutrality. Previously it was also stoked by Finland's July 2010 declaration that broadband is a legal right and every Finn will be guaranteed a 1Mbit connection by law. The Finnish government followed this up by promising access to 100Mbit broadband for every Finn by 2015.
But there is a more interesting argument to be made... enforceable accountability.
Rights vs Reliability
What the German ruling opens the way to is a higher standard of internet access, not simply in raw speed terms but in reliability. It changes the rules for ISPs: get your infrastructure and backup services right or every one of your customers has the legal entitlement to compensation. Goodbye profits, hello angry shareholders.
Nowhere is this more crucial than the UK where the broadband infrastructure is bursting at the seams due to the density of its population. On paper the country has taken huge strides forward in recent years with 'up to' 80 and 100Mbit services becoming widespread, but their quantity has been heavily offset by their quality as forums and social networks are flooded with complaints over downtime and performance in peak hours.
I experienced this personally for nearly a year when my exchange was 'upgraded' to 100Mbit and quickly followed by relentless leafleting of the area. As a result my peak time speeds actually dropped to under 2Mbit and would regularly disconnect. At one stage I was told my connection would be unstable for three months and was advised to a buy MiFi. In the end I was given regular discounts on my bill, but it didn't stop upgrade work being delayed on four separate occasions over nine months.
Had I and every other customer in the area been able to sue for daily compensation not just haggle a bit off our bill, I suspect fixes would have come in weeks along with safeguards to ensure it didn't happen again. After all it is one thing being able to open a website a few seconds faster or watch a YouTube video with less buffering in ideal conditions, but when careers, education, banking and even medical records are being pushed online reliability is the key factor. Internet access changes lives and ultimately changes countries and given ISPs profit from this they must also be made to recognise the responsibility of their role within it.
No such thing as a free lunch
Of course all this comes with a cost, but consumers shouldn't be made to pay for ISPs' infrastructure shortcomings. To protect against this we need a two-pronged approach:
- The introduction of Germany's new compensation laws for loss of internet access and a fixed daily rate(s) must be set
- Maximum pricing tiers (2/5/10/20/30/50/100/200Mbit) with the inability to charge for more than the customer actually receives.
At the end of the day talk of classifying the internet as a 'basic human right' is a smokescreen, an endless theoretical debate to which there is no definitive answer and an excuse to attain the leverage to address problems which have required tackling for far too long. Germany and Finland have already shown us the way, the very least we should do is follow.

Where glossy and flat meet
I'm getting ready to repaint my bathroom and, a couple of feet above the shower, there is some wood trim with glossy paint next to the flat painted wall. Apparently, some of the glossy paint is on the wall next to and along the trim. When the wall was repainted, the flat paint went over the little bit of glossy paint. What has happened is this has created a hairline crack running along most of the length of the trim. I'm not sure of the best way to deal with this crack before I repaint the wall.
At first, I thought there was caulk along the edge but there is not.
Hmmm...if I am understanding you correctly, I would sand, clean, and then caulk the area under the trim with a paint-able caulk
Hmmm...there shouldn't be flat paint near a shower... :huh:
Hmmm...good point
...though Zinsser's Perma-White eggshell is pretty flat
I agree with Hamilton, in baths and kitchens the best paint would be eggshell, or semigloss.
As far as what to do about the crack, Slick beat me to it. Sand clean and caulk.
If you are going to repaint the bathroom i would go at least the eggshell. Plus it gives you some room to tidy up the walls if stuff gets on them.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I know the SVO mustang of that area had some pretty good power . They were hand made engines . The 87 turbo coupe when i worked at the dealer changed the engine on a few to the SVO motor before the car had any miles on it cause they were having a problem and did not want to sell them to the public before they fixed it. So maybe ask around.Try asking Ford for some help they might just surprize you. I have a 90 supercoupe and was thinking the same thing ,why not a v-6 lux car with a blower cause thats all it is.Have had it to 160+ with a few tricks(16lbs of boost from the belt drive stock blower) . So its got to be able to go 200 with a lot of help and overdriven the blower with some big intercoolers,weight reduction. Hell the poor car has been stored for 2 years i never drive it but love it.You got my mind going(whats left of it) were do we get rules on classes and record number to shoot for. Its hard to test that stuff here on the east coast.Early sunday mornings and pray you dont get caught.(thats were the 160+ came from.police radar from a friend thankfully)
2.3L Turbo "Bonneville" car...need ideas.
We are looking to put together a "Bonneville" car using a 2.3L turbocoupe, any suggestions or "secrets" on building the engine will be appreciated. Your input may just help us to bring the "record" back to an American made car - as it should be !!!Come on wrench-heads, do it for the "U.S.A." thanks.

Physically Fit 27 Y/o Female Who Underwent Chin Reduction Surgery
Motivation: I felt my elongated chin was out of proportion with the rest of my facial features. pros: The chin reduction surgery went even better than expected. My chin was shorted about 6mm and my chin asymmetry fixed. The swelling was only very noticeable for about 4 days. All incisions/stitches were made inside the mouth, at the base behind the lower lip. ABSOLUTELY no scarring... READ MORE

The day of surgery I was "out of it" due to the anesthesia. The next day I didn't feel weak or sick, so I didn't take any of my prescribed pain meds. Typically though, I have a high pain tolerance. Most of my swelling 70% went down... READ COMMENT

Canon cameras shoots always in 14bit, or always in 12bit mode, depending on the series, you can't switch between them.
At the moment the only Canon camera slowing while shooting in RAW is the 1000D, 1.5fps instead of 3.

Thousands mourn Palestinian prisoner, revolt fears grow
By Noah Browning
SE'EER, West Bank (Reuters) - Masked Palestinian gunmen fired in the air and youths clashed with police on Monday as thousands marched at the West Bank funeral of a prisoner following days of rioting that have stoked Israeli fears of a new uprising.
Israeli police shot and wounded five Palestinian youths during confrontations in Bethlehem and outside a West Bank prison, leaving one 15-year-old boy in a critical condition, Israeli and Palestinian medical sources said.
Arafat Jaradat's death in disputed circumstances in an Israeli jail on Saturday, together with a hunger strike by four other Palestinian inmates, have fuelled mounting tensions, a month ahead of a visit to the region by U.S. President Barack Obama.
On the roof of Jaradat's home in the village of Se'eer, masked Palestinian fired volleys of automatic gunfire into the air in tribute, as dozens of Israeli troops gathered on the outskirts of town.
"We sacrifice our souls and blood for you, our martyr!" mourners chanted.
Elsewhere other youths were wounded by rubber bullets and suffered tear gas inhalation during the latest in a week of clashes that have raised memories the Intifada, Arabic for uprising, which started in 2000 after Israeli-Palestinian peace talks failed.
A previous Intifada, in 1987-1993, led to interim accords and limited Palestinian self-rule.
Israeli Civil Defence Minister Avi Dichter, former chief of the Shin Bet intelligence service, warned a new uprising might start if confrontations with protesters turned deadly. Continued...

Today, in Marvin M. Brandt Revocable Trust v. United States, the Supreme Court rebuked another attempt by the Obama administration to adopt a novel and extreme litigating position that was contrary to well-established precedent. Eight justices agreed with Cato's amicus brief, holding that the United States does not retain a property interest in former railroad lands that are no longer used by railroads. Although this may seem like an arcane issue for Cato to be involved in, the case actually resembles a typical takings case, but this time the government tried to define a property right out of existence rather than pay compensation to the owners.
To be fair to the Obama administration, this case began in 2006, and both Republican and Democratic administrations have been litigating similar cases for some time. Brandt is a best seen as an example of how governments of all stripes will find the path of least resistance to accomplish its goals, including defining a property right out of existence to avoid paying for it.

The Boy Scout program encourages boys to learn and practice leadership skills. Every Boy Scout has the opportunity to participate in both shared and
overall citizenship aim of Scouting.
Boy Scouts is a boy-led and boy-run organization. With the guidance of the Scoutmaster and his assistants, The Senior Patrol Leader, his Patrol
Leader's Council (PLC) and the other Junior Leaders plan the program, conduct troop meetings, and provide leadership among their peers.
Troop 70 holds youth leader elections twice a year: in December for the January through June leadership term and again in May for the July -
December leadership term. The troop elects its Senior Patrol Leader. Patrols elect their Patrol Leaders. With the guidance of the Scoutmaster, a new
Senior Patrol Leader will appoint other junior leader positions. Youth leaders are expected to participate in all troop meetings and activities and
complete the Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops training each year.
Scouts elected as Senior Patrol Leader and appointed to Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, and Troop Guide serve in the Leadership Corps instead of
their patrol for the length of their term.
Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST)
is used
to teach Scouts with leadership positions about their new roles and
how to most
effectively reach success in that role. It is intended to help Boy Scouts in leadership positions within their troop
understand their
responsibilities and to equip them with organizational and leadership skills to fulfill those responsibilities. ILST is
the first course in the series
of leadership training offered to Boy Scouts and is a replacement for Troop Leadership Training.
Completion of ILST is a prerequisite for Boy
Scouts to participate in the more advanced leadership courses National Youth
Leadership Training (NYLT) and the National Advanced Youth
Leadership Experience (NAYLE). It is also required to participate in
a Kodiak Challenge Trek
Troop 70 runs this course each January.
National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT)
is an exciting, action-packed program designed for councils to provide youth
members with
leadership skills and experience they can
use in their home troops and in other situations demanding leadership of
self and others.
NYLT is
a six-day course. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate
application of learning
in a fun
environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and
aided by the use of memory
aids, which
allows participants to understand and employ the leadership skills much faster.
Scouts may
register through
or other area council.
National Advanced Youth Leader Experience (NAYLE)
is an exciting program
where young men enhance their leadership
skills in the
Philmont Backcountry. Scouts will
expand upon the team building and ethical decision making skills learned in National
Training (NYLT). NAYLE uses elements of the Philmont Ranger Training as
well as advanced Search and
Rescue skills to teach leadership,
teamwork and the lessons of
selfless service. NAYLE will offer Scouts an unforgettable
backcountry wilderness
experience where they live
leadership and teamwork, using the core elements of NYLT to
make their
leadership skills intuitive.
The mission of the National Advanced
Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE) is to provide Scouts with a
Philmont based wilderness
encounter that motivates them to follow a life of
helping others succeed based on the values expressed
in the Scout Oath and Law.
Scouts may register at
Kodiak Challenge
is designed to be an adventure that pushes the boundaries of every participant - one that will encourage you
to try new
things that may be out of your comfort zone. It is an experience—but one that has its underpinnings in the application of
the leadership skills
they learned in the Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops or Crews, NYLT, and/or NAYLE. It is, as is all of
Scouting, an adventure with a
Powder Horn
course is designed to help the troop, team, or crew by exposing older Scouts, Venturers, and adult leaders to
conducted outdoor/high-adventure activities of a fun and challenging nature. The course provides an introduction to the
resources needed to
successfully lead youth through a program of outdoor adventure and is based upon giving participants an
exposure to some outdoor/high-
adventure activities. It is not a certification event. It is for any youth or adult interested in
experiencing a unit-level, high-adventure program.
National Leadership Seminar (NLS)
is an Order of the Arrow (OA) weekend training program focusing on leadership development. Run
by the Region Chief and his Advisers, it provides an in-depth look at leadership skills and techniques. An NLS discusses how these skills can
be applied in your role in the OA and in other aspects of your life.

This past Saturday, as I stood on the sidelines of my daughter's soccer game, it struck me: I was looking at a group of 9-year-olds of all sizes. Some, like my daughter, are tiny spitfires of energy. Others have already hit a growth spurt and are nearly my height (all of 5-foot-5). But while there is no uniformity in height, they all have one thing in common: they are all relatively thin.
Which got me thinking. Are they thin because of soccer or are they playing soccer because they're thin and in shape? And where are the kids we keep hearing about in the discussions of the nation's "obesity epidemic"? Aren't they the kids that need this kind of physical activity the most?
"The extremely overweight kids are not out there on traditional teams either because they've been teased about their weight and lack of coordination or because they haven't been presented with the opportunity," says Dr. Dana Weintraub, project director of the Sports to Prevent Obesity Randomized Trial (SPORT) at Stanford University. "But whether these kids are overweight because they are less active or whether they are less active because they're overweight doesn't matter. The solution is to get these kids involved in sports to encourage weight loss and a healthier lifestyle."
Dr. Weintraub decided to test her theories in East Palo Alto, Calif., the lower-income community bordering affluent Palo Alto, home to Stanford University. With an objective to determine whether an after-school sports program could reduce weight gain in low-income, overweight children, Dr. Weintraub and her colleagues recruited 21 fourth- and fifth-graders with a BMI (Body Mass Index) at or above the 85th percentile into the six-month study, with nine participating in a daily, after-school sports program and the remaining 12 taking a weekly health education class instead.
"We chose coed soccer as the team sport because it's an easy sport to teach to children with varying skill and experience levels," says Weintraub. "Plus, even if a child is not very skilled, he or she is still very physically active and running on the soccer field, which was our primary goal."
At the end of the trial period, the results firmly demonstrated that playing sports -- in this case, soccer -- every day after school could really help these overweight kids lose weight, improve their eating habits, and increase their confidence and self-esteem. What did the kids like best about being on a sports team? Answers ranged from having fun, making friends, and being part of a team.
The added benefit? "Even the kids who initially said 'I don't like sports' ended up enjoying themselves and finding that they did like sports," Weintraub says. "Eight of the nine children in the soccer program stated that they would like to continue to play on a soccer team and two of them even joined their school's competitive soccer team!"
By giving overweight kids the opportunity to experience team sports in a positive, supportive environment, Weintraub succeeded not only in helping these children lose weight, but also in changing these kids' perceptions of sports in general, something that will last a lifetime.
"There are so many intangibles that you get from participating in a team sport like soccer that go beyond the immediate physical activity," concludes Weintraub. "Learning to work with your teammates, learning how to lead, and having positive role models in the coaches are keys for success all through life and kids in team sports learn these invaluable skills."

Fieldstone foundation repair question
I have read through a number of threads on fieldstone foundation repair and have seen the consensus for using straight lime or "low portland" mortars for this work. I have a old stone foundation that has a couple medium sized cracks - 1/4" wide or so. There are also a couple places where the old mortar has fallen away and revealed a gap that appears to go pretty deep into the foundation.
I was originally thinking of squeezing grout into those deep gaps and letting gravity take it from there. Now, knowing that I should avoid portland cement, I need to figure out the best way to work a lime mortar into the deep recesses of the foundation. From people's descriptions I assume that it wouldn't flow the way that grout would.
On the whole, the foundation is pretty sound, but I'd like to tighten things up where I can.
I used rubber gloves and made balls out of the lime mortar and just shoved them in. Keep shoving in the balls until the void is filled. This is the best / fastest way that I found.

Hutchison files for listing of 2G unit
Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa said today it had applied to list its second-generation mobile telephone business in New York and Hong Kong as part of a planned spin-off of telecom assets.
The ports-to-telecoms company owned by Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing, said it had filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for the dual listing of Hutchison Telecommunications International Ltd. (HTIL).
The listing of HTIL is expected to advance the group's "attractive growth opportunities in emerging and growth markets," it said. It did not say when the share sale will take place nor how much it might raise from it.
Media reports have speculated that Hutchison Whampoa is set to dispose of a 30 percent stake in HTIL, with the listing likely next month.
Hutchison said it would remain the majority shareholder of the unit following the listing and that its 3G operations in Australia and Europe will stay with the parent company.
HTIL owns mobile telecoms businesses in India, Thailand, Israel, Macau, Sri Lanka, Ghana and Paraguay. It also owns Hutchison Whampoa's fixed-line phone business in Hong Kong and its third generation (3G) operations.
As of end-June, these operations had more than 11 million customers worldwide and assets of over $HK40 billion ($US5.1 billion).
Their combined revenues stood at $HK7 billion during the first six months this year after some $HK10 billion for the whole of 2003.
Analysts have said the planned spin-off will allow Hutchison to book exceptional gains to offset massive losses from its 3G business.

One of the really cool things about this analyst gig is that we get to field client inquiry calls – 30 minutes where we hop onto the phone to speak with our clients and answer their questions about the topics that we cover. As of the week before Christmas, analysts on the security and risk team have jumped onto over 300 inquiries so far this quarter when not on a plane or on site with a client (and this is a slow quarter given all the holidays!). Vendors are one topic that we discuss quite a bit with S&R pros because, let's face it, there's are vendors that are really good at marketing and there are also vendors that just haven't shown up on your radar.
Research report ideas are often born from inquiries as we notice trends in the types of questions that are asked. As we continue to hammer out research agendas for 2013, we're thinking of adding a new stream of research for our security playbooks: Vendors You Should Know. It would not be the same as a Forrester Wave which compares established vendors, but rather a report which highlights smaller, emerging vendors that are disrupting the existing market with a unique, innovative technology or service to solve a client's painful challenge or perhaps alter current approaches to information security. It's a report to recognize emerging vendors who raise the bar, but may not necessarily raise the most buzz. These would be living research documents that are updated periodically as market events and technological developments warrant changes.
S&R pros, does this type of research appeal to you? Which areas would you like for us to identify vendors you should know? What business and security challenges are you grappling with where you would like to see us profile emerging vendors that could help?
Posted by Heidi Shey on December 7, 2012
Keeping up with the threat and IT landscape, looking ahead to future technology and disruptive technologies, and keeping up with the regulatory landscape to identify what it means to your organization is no small task. It's also not a technology issue, but one that involves your most valuable asset: people. S&R pros, call it maintaining your security edge: keeping skills fresh, encouraging new ideas to flow, and preventing the security group from getting stale and set in their ways and habits. Fail to invest in your people, and an exodus of talent will the least of your concerns as a new type of internal threat is born. A security team and an organization that maintains their security edge will be better equipped to protect the organization and its assets through better decision making at all levels.
I'm kicking off research on this topic in the coming weeks, and would love to hear what you think it means to maintain your security edge. My initial ideas approach the topic from three angles:

African designers make fashion debut in New York
By Edith Honan
NEW YORK (Reuters) - African designers showing collections for the first time in New York see the election of Barack Obama, the first black U.S. president, as an opening to the huge American market.
African textiles and beadwork have served as inspiration for major designers for decades, but African designers have not yet found a firm footing in the U.S. fashion market.
Four African labels -- Xuly Bet by Malian designer Lamine Badian Kouyate, Tiffany Amber by Nigeria's Folake Coker, Momo by Nigeria's Fati Asibelua and Stoned Cherrie by South Africa's Nkhensani Nkosi -- are showing collections as part of the African Fashion Collective on Friday.
Scores of designers are showing their Fall 2009 collections at New York Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, a semi-annual event that attracts thousands of fashion industry insiders.
"I do think that the timing couldn't be better because there is that kind of euphoria over having a president of African origin," said Nkosi, who calls her looks "Afro-urban."
"But it is the worst time in some regard because people are a lot more careful of what they spend their money on," she said in an interview before the show.
The global economic downturn has U.S. consumers holding tightly to their purse strings, reluctant to spend money on discretionary purchases such as fashion.
Prices for Stoned Cherrie range from $500 to $2000. Continued...

Rapid Re-Housing is not an Anti-Poverty Program
October 17, 2014
When I travel around the country talking about or training on rapid re-housing, one of the statements I make that gets the most reaction is this: rapid re-housing isn't an anti-poverty program, it is an anti-homelessness program. Without fail, several folks in the room will sit back and consider this statement, seemingly for the first time, even though it should be obvious. Although, as someone who has spent the better part of 25 years working on economic and social justice, I get why this statement can cause a few eyebrows in the room to go up.
Let's face it; a lot of us get into this line of work because we can't see abject poverty in our society and simply walk on by. And you can't hit bottom worse than being poor and homeless. But when I talk about rapid re-housing as a solution to homelessness, a lot of folks raise questions about how a family is going to survive after the support ends. They worry that helping a family or individual into an apartment will set them up to ultimate failure. Many ask, "Wouldn't they be better off with a housing voucher?" My answer is always the same.
Of course they would. But the reality is that there are not nearly enough housing vouchers to meet the need.
However, when that family or individual is living on the street, what they need right away is a home.
There is significant misunderstanding about what rapid re-housing is and what it is designed to do. Rapid re-housing is not the be-all and end-all of addressing poverty and it is not a solution to housing affordability. It is a crisis response tool to get people immediately off the streets and into housing. We know, for instance, that getting someone off the street and into a home of their own significantly increases a family's ability to address other issues. Finding a job; escaping from a domestic violence situation; or simply getting back on your feet after a crisis, can be addressed so much more easily if you have a roof over your head and are in a safe environment you call home.
As I have said before in a previous blog post, rapid re-housing requires wrap-around services that are tailored to the family that requires them. It isn't just a check and a handshake. And just because a community professes to be doing rapid re-housing, it doesn't necessarily mean they are doing it well. For instance, housing a family in nine months is not rapid. And neglecting support services; or leaving a family to fend on their own isn't what is expected either.
Rapid re-housing is a crisis response strategy to address homelessness. Looking at the alternatives – emergency shelter and transitional housing – it is by far a more cost effective and successful strategy. But that doesn't mean efforts to identify permanent subsidized housing, more affordable units, and address things like livable wages shouldn't be underway as well.
But when an individual or family is experiencing homelessness, the most important immediate step that a provider can take is to help them stabilize in a home. It doesn't mean they won't still be poor, but they will no longer be homeless.

Revturkey, Ice Station has a nice theme to it. Like it.
Well, I only have 2 tracks in my portfolio, hehe, and to be honest, I really do think my latest one is great. It's upbeat, happy and got a nice swing to it. It was fun laying down a melody that would work both for the violin and the bells.http://audiojungle.net/item/happy-and-successful/4425701
Yes, a company could buy a song here and use it in their trailer with a regular license. For broadcasting, movies and tv, an extended license is needed. But yes, it's a low fare and I think most authors would like to see a change in the licensing regarding broadcasting and such.
Most stock music publishers don't like microstock sites since the microstock sites too some extent compete with them. Consider when they are trying to license out a song (with PRO) to companies at a much higher cost and the company says, "but we can get a similar song on AJ for almost nothing, why shouldn't we use that?".
dBlever saidThis requires the customer to know what an RSS-feed are and how to handle them. It would much simpler with a clear and easy to use system. A simple subscribe to be updated via email button would be simpler. It would simply send an e-mail with update notification to their account email.
Your profile should have an RSS feed for notifying a subscriber of a new item.
The current "follow"-system clearly doesn't work since you can't even check who you're following.
It all depends on the track I guess. I know some call it lazy but in some circumstances it actually works. Especially for longer pieces in low tempo.
Although, here on AudioJungle, if you can't come up with an ending, upload it as looped
Love the site and the concept! Even more so that it was launched on april 1st.
Who's FOB?
Aha, a little googling and I found them. Fall out boy.
Congrats. Like the humorous tone or the song. I just wonder why Discovery keep doing these kinda shows? Are they that popular?
Just want to add, self promotion is not allowed on the AJ forums.
Yes, it takes a while to get the songs reviewed. While waiting spend some time fixing up your profile with an avatar and profile image. Write a little presentation about yourself and of course, write more music!

The campaign calls on all companies to adopt and implement an individual detox solution and to commit to "phase out" the use and release of all toxic chemicals from their global supply chain and products by 1 January, 2020.
To highlight the progress being made by major clothing companies, Greenpeace has ranked brands into three categories – leaders, greenwashers and laggards – to demonstrate to the public which companies are doing their bit to create a toxic-free future.
Among the "greenwashers" are sportswear giant Nike and Adidas, as well as Chinese Li Ning, who are being targeted by the pressure group to follow through on their commitments to clean up their toxic habits. The Detox Catwalk states that these companies are "masking ineffective actions with paper promises and weak commitments".
Whereas fashion chains including H&M, Mango, Uniqlo and Marks and Spencers, designer fashion house Valentino and sportswear firm Puma have been recognised for pushing forward with concrete action towards their Detox goals by putting into practice "credible timelines, concrete actions and on-the-ground implementation".
"Greenwashers like Nike and adidas would do well to look to Detox trendsetters such as Mango and Uniqlo that are responding to the urgency of the global water crisis," said Ilze Smit, Detox Campaigner at Greenpeace International. "These leaders are already working to lead a transparency revolution in their supply chains and eliminate the worst chemicals from their products and production processes."
Smit, added: "Nike and adidas present themselves to the public as fashion conscious companies but their inaction has so far proven otherwise. How can their customers and the affected local communities believe they are 'all in' for toxic-free fashion when they fail to follow through on their Detox commitments?"
Greenpeace names Nike and Adidas "greenwashers"
Though Adidas has hit back at the claims stating that it doesn't agree with Greenpeace's rankings and that it has been working to eliminate hazardous chemicals in its supply chain.
In a statement, Adidas said: "We continue to uphold and fulfil the commitments we made to Greenpeace when they first launched their campaign, and to deliver against these. And to aid us in this, we were a founding member of the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Initiative, launched in 2010 to drive change in industry practices.
"The adidas Group is globally recognised as a leader in environmental sustainability. For years, we have been successfully working to reduce and progressively eliminate hazardous chemicals in our supply chain."
The Detox Catwalk also denounces "laggard" apparel firms like Gap, Diesel and Armani, which Greenpeace claims are "uncommitted toxic addicts" that have yet to make a credible detox commitment.
With regards Gap, Smit stated: "Though the company claims to be cleaning up its act, hiding behind the ineffective Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals industry group's paper commitments, there is a gap between its words and its actions.
"It is time Gap took full individual responsibility for its toxic addiction and caught up with the rest of the industry to become the fashion-forward company its customers expect it to be."
On the interactive website, each company has their own listing featuring company information and its corporate social responsibility, as well as whether it has followed through with those promises.
