With the 2012 NFL season in the books, and the scouting combine in the rear-view, it's time to take a closer look at the 50 players we think will be the biggest difference-makers at the next level from this draft class. To that end, we're happy to continue this year's Shutdown 50 scouting reports (Hint: There may actually be more than 50). You can read last year's group here. The final 50 players were chosen and ranked based on game tape, combine and Pro Day results, overall positional value, and attributes and liabilities on and off the field.
#27: Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia
We continue this year's series with Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree, who undoubtedly scares NFL teams with his off-field record just as much as his on-field exploits will have those same teams sure of his first-round talent. Ogletree was suspended from his first-ever game with the Bulldogs after he was caught stealing a scooter helmet, was suspended the first four games of the 2012 season after a failed drug test, and was arrested for a DUI just a few days before the scouting combine. Not at all smart.
At the combine, Ogletree tried to explain his past.
"I'm a good person at heart," he said. "Everybody makes mistakes. I feel real bad about the situation. I'm learning from it and I'm moving forward. I don't really know what it's going to do. But, like I said, I feel bad about it and I'm very sorry about it. I just have to move forward and take whatever I get."
Ogletree was one of a few players trying to re-do his image at the combine -- LSU's Tyrann Mathieu and Notre Dame's Manti Te'o were two more -- but Ogletree did himself no favors when he ran a 4.68 40-yard dash at the Indianapolis event. Ogletree, who looks much more like a 4.5 athlete on tape, didn't do much better at his pro day, though he was better in the agility drills.
NFL teams will still take a good look at him in the first round, though, because he's precisely the kind of half-field defender required at the next level. With so many teams playing much more nickel and dime coverage, range linebackers are the new prototype, while the old-school thumpers are on their way out to a degree. And though he switched from the safety position after the 2010 season (giving him just two years experience at linebacker) and missed those first four games in 2012, Ogletree still amassed 63 solo tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks, and an interception in his final collegiate season.
There's no question that the 6-foot-3, 243-pound Ogletree has everything it takes from a pure football perspective to join Seattle's Bobby Wagner, Tampa Bay's Lavonte David, and Carolina's Luke Kuechly as a star-level optimal range defender. But his off-field question marks may take him out of the first round entirely -- especially when there are more players like him in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Pros: Former safety who plays with that kind of range -- can run quickly to just about any area on the defense from linebacker depth. Reads keys and diagnoses backfield action well -- will patiently wait from his position and then unleash his speed to make plays. Has the height and jumping ability to cover tight ends in the seam. Outstanding half-field defender who seems made to play in nickel -- will close quickly to either sideline. Surprisingly good wrap tackler for his size. Doesn't bounce off a lot of plays and doesn't get dragged too often by power backs. Zeroes in on the ballcarrier with accuracy and doesn't misdirect, which is impressive for all his velocity.
Understands angles and will cut around blockers almost as a receiver would cut away from a defensive back. Possesses the pure burn off the edge to produce as a blitzing linebacker, and will occasionally zoom into the pocket from coverage depth to pressure quarterbacks. Has the backpedal, hip turn, and short-area speed to cover well in man or zone. Dynamic special teams player.
Cons: Thin player who will struggle against blocks -- can be easily walled off. Bounces off blocks at times, but doesn't use his hands to functionally disengage. Needs a bigger line with fairly dominant players to open up gaps for him; he's not a power player at all. Missed tackles are precisely the issue you would expect from a less powerful player who's flying around all the time. Long list of off-field issues will debit him with teams, and he wasn't specifically impressive when explaining his past during media session at the scouting combine.
Conclusion: Though Ogletree is without question the best pure speed linebacker in this draft class and he's able to do more things at a position that is increasing in value all the time, I would severely hesitate before selecting him with a first-round pick -- or any pick at all, for that matter. If I had the choice to take Ogletree or Kansas State's Arthur Brown, Rutgers' Khaseem Greene, or Missouri's Zaviar Gooden, I would probably go with a player who possessed slightly less athleticism, but who wouldn't land me in GM Jail a few years down the road because he can't stay out of trouble.
Generally speaking, those people who can't keep their lives straight in college don't tend to mature in the right ways when you give them far more money, fame, and freedom. NFL teams will have to weigh the potential nightmare scenarios presented by Mr. Ogletree against his freakish and impressive talent. And the guy who takes his number had best hope he's got the right kind of support system in place.

I got inspired of the Tv series Breaking Bad, because the protagonist has a very peculiar face.
This is the image I got based http://collider.com/wp-content/uplo...an-cranston.jpg.
I want to represent the serious-sadness.madness face that this character often do.
This is my first work using Zbrush, and of course, my first model in high detail as well. I use Maya for low poly, Zbrush for detail and polypaint, Nuke for compositing and Photoshop for some details left.
I hope you can make some critics on the detail of the model, the lighting, the subsurface scatter because my gold was to do a realistic skin, and the compositing. Hope you like it

The bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix ), called tailor in Australia is a species of popular marine game-fish found in all climates. It is the sole species of the Pomatomidae family.
In South Africa, this fish is commonly known as shad on the east coast, and elf on the west coast. Shad cannot be commercially sold in KwaZulu-Natal and has a closed season (currently October and November) to allow for breeding. On the west coast Elf is a commercially fished species.
Description: The bluefish is a moderately proportioned fish, with a broad, forked tail. The spiny first dorsal fin is normally folded back in a groove, as are its pectoral fins. Coloration is a grayish blue-green dorsally, fading to white on the lower sides and belly. Its single row of teeth in each jaw are uniform in size, knife-edged and sharp. Bluefish commonly range in size from seven inch (18 cm) "snappers". They can weigh as much as forty pounds (18 kg), though fish heavier than twenty pounds (9 kg) are exceptional.
Life history: Bluefish larvae are the size of zooplankton and are largely at the mercy of currents. Spent bluefish have been found off east central Florida, migrating north. As with most marine fish, their spawning habits are not well known. In the western side of the North Atlantic, there are at least two populations, separated by Cape Hatteras in North Carolina. The Gulf Stream can carry larvae spawned to the south of Cape Hatteras to the north, and eddies can spin off, carrying the larvae into populations found off the coast of the mid-Atlantic, and the New England states. The bluefish population is highly cyclical, with abundance varying widely over a span of ten years or more.
Feeding habits: Bluefish are voracious, predatory fish. Depending on area and season, they favor menhaden and other sardine-like fish (Clupeidae), jacks (Scombridae), weakfish (Sciaenidae), grunts (Haemulidae), striped anchovies (Engraulidae), shrimp and squid. They should be handled with care due to their ability to snap at an unwary hand. In July 2006, a 7 year-old girl was attacked on a beach, near the Spanish town of Alicante, allegedly by a bluefish. Bluefish are cannibalistic. For this reason, bluefish tend to swim in schools of similarly-sized specimens.
Gear and methods: Bluefish are an important recreational and commercial fish. A large bluefish, about 20 pounds. A 1.5 ounce nylon-haired jig, effective for bluefish, especially when a strip of shiny fish is added to the hook. This jig is attched to a five inch (127 mm) tippet of wire and attached with an Albright special knot to 3.5 feet (1.1 m) of 50 pound test monofilament leader. A top-water popping lure, effective for bluefish feeding on the surface. Fishermen who enjoy using top-water lures for bluefish find they add to the overall excitement as a bluefish attacks their lure on the surface. Bluefish will occasionally "skyrocket"--leap out of the water before landing on and attacking--a lure such as this, a spectacular sight for top-water lure fishermen.
Baits: Bluefish eagerly take a wide variety of fresh baits. Live or cut menhaden, mullet, mackerel, spearing, killifish, eels, squid, shrimp, ladyfish pieces, bunker or similar baitfish are all productive, especially when matched to whatever bluefish may be primarily feeding on at the time. Bluefish eagerly take artificial baits as well. Either trolled or cast with a fast retrieve, shiny spoons and the full range of bright-colored plugs, jigs, plus fluorescent-colored tube lures are all effective. Noisy surface lures at dawn or dusk near a sharp drop-off or in shallow water are also productive, which many fisherman find adds to the excitement as a bluefish attacks their lure on the surface.
Bluefish will occasionally "skyrocket"--leap out of the water before landing on and attacking a top water lure or live bait fished at the surface--a spectacular sight for most fishermen.
Little skill is needed to hook a bluefish when a school is in a feeding frenzy. They will ravenously strike any natural bait or shiny lure--even a shiny coin tossed into their midst.
TackleBluefish are known to strike just about any type of lure. Medium-light to medium weight spinning or bait-casting rigs are standard. 8 to 12 pound test line is common when targeting bluefish in the 1 to 3 pound range, while 20 pound test and matched tackle may be the choice when targeting larger specimens, such as pictured above.
Fishermen typically present natural baits on a size 3/0 or 4/0 hook, sometimes followed by a smaller "stinger" hook. These are attached to wire tippets about 6 inches long, which are attached either by swivel or Albright Special to 3 to 5 feet (1.5 m) of 50 to 80 pound monofilament leader. Larger hooks are appropriate for larger baits and bluefish. Some fishermen instead choose only a heavy monofilament leader attached to a long-shank hook, which usually avoids the bluefish's sharp teeth. Artificial lures are presented on similar leader arrangements. Steel leaders are a benefit since their razor sharp teeth will cleanly snip through any normal fishing line.
Some adventuresome anglers target bluefish with flyrods tipped with large, brightly-colored and tinsel-lined streamers or surface poppers. Due to their schooling and ravenous feeding habits, bluefish are among the easier ocean-faring targets for those trying their hand at heavy fly tackle. In South Africa, this fish is commonly caught on a bare hook as the shining action in the water attracts these sportfish.

planing face-glued boards
Hi all.
I don't have a lot of experience with the planer.
I face glued 3 boards about 3 feet by 3/4 thick by 3 inches to make a square leg. Once the glue was dried, there were very slight misalignments of the boards on either side, up to about 1/16 inch, in some cases sticking out on one side and short on the other.
I'm following a plan, and the imperfections are okay because the plan calls for planing to smooth off the sides.
I'm just trying to figure out how the planer will plane correctly. Since there are imperfections on both sides, whichever side I face down to start with is going to cause the top side to be high or low in corresponding places, so that it doesn't clean off the right places. Then when I flip it over, those mistakes will be multiplied. Right?
Seems like one side has to be essentially smooth to start with for the other side to be planed in the correct plane.
BTW, I'm aware of the issue of running glued wood through the planer, but that's what the plan calls for.
You need a jointer not a planner.
Don't have one.
What now? Sander?
Commercial procedure is to use the jointer on one side, then use the planer on the other side, or to reduce to thickness. Alternative is to use a drum sander to smooth. Since you don't have a jointer, I would just plane the entire leg using a hand planer. Make sure it is very sharp and has the proper angle. If you do not know how to sharpen a hand planer, you should go online and look up the procedure, it is not as easy as it seems, and an improperly sharpened hand plane will never work well.
If you don't own a decent hand plane, and don't want to buy one, you could flatten the leg using a belt sander, go slow and be careful you don't gouge. Once you get one side flat, you can plane the other.
The guys are right. A planer will not flatten a cupped or warped board. Boards going through the planer should already be flat on the bottom side. Sometimes it will be ok if you send rough stock through that is already pretty flat.
Only 2.25 inches thick.
Square it up with a table saw, then run it thru the planer.
1 Attachment(s)
Well, I broke down and bought a jointer. I haven't tried to do these legs yet, but I'm working on the headboard cap (this is for my daughter's crib).
it calls for three 1/4 inch boards face glued to 3/4 thickness and bent around a form. IT's about 5 feet long
The first time I tried it, I only had 5 clamps long enough to hold it down, but by the time the glue (Titebond II) dried, the boards had spread apart all over.
Then yesterday, I bought more clamps and tried again. THis time I put a clamp every six inches. The result was way better, but it still separated in places.
In the worst spots, it's as much as 1/16 separation. i'll try to attach a photo below. For reference, the two bottom strips are 1/4 inch. the top strip was rounded over.
So, do I have to do this a third time? If so, how far apart do these clamps have to be? Does it help to put a piece of wood on top of the work to spread the pressure? Am I maybe not putting enough glue (I'm using a small plastic roller to spread the glue all over the surface)?
If possible to salvage this as is (maybe with some wood filler or some other way) please let me know what it is.
This is my first serious woodworking project, so even though I've read the books, I don't have all the tools or the hands-on experience.
I guess the project was a bit ambitious, but now I've spent way more than a store-bought crib would have cost, so I'm doing it.
BTW, behind the cap are the legs I mentioned at the top of this thread. They glued together nicely with just a few clamps.
We had a saying in our shop....."If it doesn't ooz....you lose"
The gaps in the wood will never get closer as the glue has already dried.
If you plane it up the gap will still be there.
One option would be to run this through the table saw at the gap setting the blade at 1/4" deep. Then cut a small piece of similar wood 5/16" deep x the width of the saw blade. Apply glue to the kerf and gently tap the strip into place. If you have a tight fit, you will hardly see this after sanding.
Next time try gluing just two pieces together at a time.And use a little more glue
The kerf idea doesn't sound like something I could do.
I guess more glue was needed, but also, did it need more clamps, and do blocks of wood betweent the clamp and the work help or not?
What's a good rule of thumb for applying the glue? I just rolled it with a roller until the whole surface was wet. Should it be standing thick and yellow all over?
I will try gluing the first two and then the third one later this time.
Thanks for the advice.
Oh, follow-up question.
Last time, I also applied smaller C clamps over the thin edges of the boards to keep them from sliding back and forth. Later, I was thinking maybe this crossways pressure made the wood separate. Just a thought. What do you think?
If you've covered the entire surface with glue you're ok. It sounds like you need to use heavier clamps. If the boards were perfectly straight and flat, you almost wouldn't need clamps, just rubbing the boards together would cause cohesion to keep them together. What you are experiencing is bowed, uneven or twisted boards and using small clamps with three pieces of lumber requires a lot of pressure to keep them together. Using additional boards to aid this is not going to work. Use heavier clamps positioned in the center of the board about 6" apart.
If you are not going to reduce the width and thickness of the finished piece too much, you could use wood screws to temporarily hold what will eventually be the center board. You could remove the screws after it is dry and then apply the other outer board with clamps. You may even be able to leave the screws in if they do not interfere with future cutting or machining operations.

{{RELATEDLINKS}}This article by Gene DePrez in its original form appeared in the 2013 edition of LocationUSA.
In February, Toray Industries, Inc., a Tokyo-based manufacturer of fibers and textiles, plastic resins, films, and carbon fiber composite materials, selected Spartanburg County, South Carolina, for its next global facility. The $1 billion investment over the next decade is expected to create 500 new jobs and represents one of the largest initial capital investments in the state's history.
Toray's acquisition of approximately 400 acres in South Carolina is part of the company's strategic business expansion in growth fields and growth regions, which include North America and Latin America, in addition to Asia. The company views the U.S. as a key expansion market due to the revival in manufacturing that is pushing demand for advanced materials, particularly those used in the aerospace and energy-related industries. According to Toray Industries President Akihiro Nikkaku, "South Carolina offers Toray Industries an ideal location for our next North American manufacturing facility. Here we will have proximity to major customers, both in the U.S. and in Latin American markets."
Toray was planning to actively invest its resources to meet demand for its advanced material business base. The company had already been considering a plan to locate a new, high-performance carbon fiber production facility to serve as a major supplier to the aerospace industry. Aerospace in South Carolina is a burgeoning industry, with more than 200 aerospace companies employing around 20,000 South Carolinians so it made sense for Tory to choose to locate there to access that market.
Critical factors such as talent and proximity to markets and intellectual capital often overshadow short-term financial savings.
Key Requirements
What can we learn from this and similar location strategy decisions by corporate investors who literally have the world to consider? According to Gene DePrez, managing partner at Global Innovation Partners, who has spent 25+ years advising global companies on location strategy and site selection, most often the decision is driven primarily by a single concept, albeit with many evaluation factors. That concept is access.
According to DePrez, companies large and small are succeeding in the global markets by operating as globally integrated enterprises, meaning they are constantly looking for competitive advantage by optimizing each of their operating functions, and often this means placing or moving each specialized activity in a location that will have the best combination or tradeoff of qualitative, cost, and risk factors.
To be clear, says DePrez, this goes beyond the decline of the so-called vertical business model over the last decade or two with its international strategy emphasis on simply replicating most of its business operations on a smaller scale in other geographies. Even with supply chain variations involving global outsourcing (mitigated by recent tactical U-turns of near-sourcing and in-sourcing), these traditional business models remained essentially hub-and-spoke in character.
In contrast, today's most successful globally integrated companies have a far more sophisticated and dispersed networked business model and operate as truly globally based businesses, DePrez explains. They will carefully analyze where each operational unit would be most productive based on location, then efficiently networked with other units, each placed in the best geographies for optimal performance.
In some versions they may have multiple "headquarters" with production, business, financial, and other functions spread across the world and located where each unit can be most productive and provide the greatest benefit to the company's investors and customers. For example, if the greatest share of production is going to be in Asia to meet fast growing demand there, procurement may ideally be focused in that region to better understand and manage supply chains and work with partners. At the same time, R&D or engineering units may be relocated to leverage regions with strong related intellectual capital and innovation, while financial management may need to be close to major investment markets.
Whether a manufacturing function or a procurement, research, financial operations, marketing, or a myriad of other corporation operating units, DePrez says cost will always be a concern; but with today's focus on innovation in business models, processes, products, customer relations management, and other predictors of success, critical factors such as talent and proximity to markets and intellectual capital often overshadow short-term financial savings.
Competitive positioning requires constant re-evaluation, typically every few years, to assure that each defined business unit is located or relocated to achieve its optimal performance — assessing the trade-offs between improved performance compared to costs and risks. Investing organizations are not reluctant to make radical changes on a regular basis, if the ROI justifies the disruption and other risks involved.
Access in All Its Forms
The key qualitative factors that drive these decisions can be summarized as access. They are weighted differently depending on the specific operation and business strategy, but almost always evaluating:

Problem Statement
At 2014 summer's U.S–Africa Leaders Summit in Washington, DC, President Barack Obama pledged that "The United States will launch a new effort to bolster the West Africa region's early warning and response network and increase their ability to share information about emerging crises." This concept note is part of the broader Early Warning and Response Partnership (EWARP) fulfilling that pledge.
Describing the political outlook of the region as fragile with Member States grappling with insecurity, terrorist threats and tensions ahead of a demanding election cycle in 2015, the Commissioner said the Commission has consequently channelled more efforts to the strengthening of its peace and security architecture through a shift in focus from intervention to prevention, and enhancing instruments for anticipating and managing conflicts in a predictable, structured and effective manner.
After 10 years of providing early warning on potential crises, conflicts and human rights violations in the region, the ECOWAS Early Warning System intends to more efficiently anticipate and rapidly respond to regional threats in furtherance to ECOWAS Vision 2020, of an ECOWAS of People.
What we do
The 2-year project objective is to enhance capacities of ECOWAS Early Warning and Response Directorate (EWD) by implementing the following activities:
- EWD additional staffing – 1 GIS and mapping officer to enhance EWD GIS analysis capacities; 2 analysts to cater the three official languages of ECOWAS (English, French and Portuguese); 1 Portuguese-speaking analyst to complement the existing francophone and Anglophone Analysts; 2 situation room assistants to better cover the data collection work and manage the network of the 77 field monitors work. In addition, ECOWAS Liaison Officers from Member States (15) would be employed.
- EWD staff training and capacity building in the field of financial controls and oversight.
- Monitoring and evaluation (regional and national) – development of a monitoring and evaluation framework to assess the effectiveness of the national, national-regional and regional mechanisms.
- Staffing at Member States (15) National Early Warning and Response Centers (when established) – potentially in year 2.
The proposed activities would contribute to stabilization of the delicate political, security and socio-economic landscape of ECOWAS region.

Memo to Alex King: FIX YOUR PLUG-IN PLEASE!
I am writing this, because I am about at the end of my patience with dealing with people who write plug-in's that are full of bugs.
I am using Alex King's Articles Plug-in on my Blog.
I have attempted to contact Alex King, and for some unknown reason, he seems to not to want to answer my communications with him.
Alex King's Plug-in has a Bug. It is display articles under categories that it is not supposed to. You can see this happening by clicking here.
All of the articles under the heading of jobs are NOT, I repeat NOT supposed to be there.
I was also going to mark another piece that I wrote, with his plug in today, and it created my article under another heading, that it was not supposed to, instead of just the one heading that I wanted.
I am not a incompetent idiot, that doesn't know how to run wordpress, I run this software quite well, and I know how to manage plug-ins as well and Mr. King's Articles Plug-in is FULL OF BUGS!
Now you'd think that a guy, who wrote this Plug-in would have the common decency to reply to my e-mail and take a look at his plug-in and see why it is doing this. But so far, Mr. King has not returned my e-mails. He seems to be more interested in furthering his business career, that he is providing support for a Plug-in that he released to the general Public.
I am asking you, Mr. King. To show an ounce of Responsibility and support your produce and find out why it is that your Plug in isn't working properly. I do not know anything about PHP Script at all, otherwise, I would have fixed it myself.
Having said all this, has anyone else, besides me, had any problems with this Plug-in of this nature? and if so, what is the solution?
Thank you,
-Chuck Adkins

The Bangladesh Police want to encourage greater speed in the investigation of homicide, but without compromising quality. The leadership is concerned about the amount of time it takes for investigations to be completed because of the negative effects delays can have on other parts of the criminal justice system as well as the experience of victims and their families. At the same time, investigators are reluctant to conclude cases quickly, fearing that the quality of their work and the outcomes at trial might suffer. Measuring speed in these conditions turns out not to be so simple and straightforward.
Victimization surveys are a common tool to measure people's sense of safety in the Global North and are becoming more familiar in the Global South. What should governments and international development organizations to, though when these surveys reveal disparities between the sense of safety of women and men? Can the results of these surveys be analyzed across countries in order to identify what contributions can lead to meaningful improvements in the safety of women? Do these surveys need to be supplemented by administrative data and other sources of information and insight in order to find out what to do?
Nigeria has spent more than a decade trying to 'decongest' its overcrowded prisons. Despite marked reductions in the total number of prison inmates in the first decade of this century, many prisons in the southern states of Nigeria, particularly those that house un-sentenced inmates, remain severely crowded, with people confined in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. In 2009 the Attorney General of Lagos State summoned experts to an inter-agency forum seeking fresh ideas and new measures to improve justice. Knowing that it would take a long time to introduce structural solutions to what he called 'practices and procedures that foster delay in criminal trial', he asked for help developing an indicator that could chart incremental progress in the short term. In 2010 a team from the Attorney General's office, the CLEEN Foundation, and Harvard began developing a measure of the duration of pretrial detention by studying the records of inmates that leave prison each month.

I'm replacing my outdoor heat pump fan motor (fasco D917) and capacitor (Run Capacitor, 35/5 MFD, 370 VAC, Round). The heat pump is an older Goodman. The new fan motor has a white, brown, brown w/white stripe and black wire. On the side of the motor it says to put the (1) brown wire to capacitor (2) brown/white wire to 5mfd 370 vac (3) white to (com) line (4) black to (hi) line. It also says to connect in numerical order.
Any idea where these are going? I understand the white going to the com lead on the capacitor, but after that I'm just not sure, especially the brown/white going to 5 mfd 370 vac?

The eventual endowment of the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Education would provide the continual financial means to support existing programs and projects, and the funds to develop and expand.
An endowment would support the Center in it's work and provide perpetual funds for a full-time and enlarged staff.
As the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Education seeks an endowment, it will allow us
to grow in a stable and dependable way, in terms of resources and materials, technology, training and development, education at the University and in area schools, all while educating about the Holocaust and genocide, discrimination and prejudice.
Once limited by lack of funds, an endowment could establish a precedent of nationally and internationally recognized excellence.

US STOCKS-Banks and tech drive Wall St up over 1 percent
* Twitter drops after brokerage downgrade
* Toll Brothers up on revenue beat
* New U.S. home sales touch 8-year high in April
* Indexes end up: Dow 1.22 pct, S&P 1.37 pct, Nasdaq 2.0 pct (Adds details from after the bell)
By Noel Randewich
May 24 (Reuters) - Wall Street surged more than 1 percent on Tuesday and the Nasdaq had its strongest day in three months as investors made peace with the possibility that the U.S. Federal Reserve might soon raise interest rates.
Comments from policymakers in recent days have investors expecting a rate hike potentially in June, much sooner than previously thought, given sluggish economic growth.
Wall Street has benefited from historically low borrowing costs since the 2008 financial crisis and higher rates could choke further gains. But strategists on Tuesday said they were reassured by expectations the Fed would tighten borrowing costs only gradually.
"The market is starting to contemplate the idea that Fed rate hikes this year are A: more likely, and B: not inherently bad in and of themselves," said Bill Merz, an investment strategist with U.S. Bank Wealth Management. Continuación...

There was no shortage of feminine beauty in Pasadena, California last night (April 2) as Heidi Klum and Nicole Scherzinger showed up for some press duties.
It's one of the hottest shows on television, so it's no wonder that "The Blacklist" has been given a green light for Season 3 by NBC.
The James Spader program joins "Chicago Fire," "Chicago PD," "Law & Order: SVU" and "Grimm" on the list of series that are safe for at least one more round.

88 Fiero EV Build
Newbie here trying to read through all of this great information and folks' contributions. I am an MBA / IT network guy that does a little ICE maintenance work, does not know EE math, and is new to CA (relo from Pacific NW). I have a bunch of tools, but not sure they are the right ones, but will buy them if necessary. I could really use a coach / mentor to help me navigate the math, products etc (I know...who doesn't right?!@)
1988 Pontiac Fiero (4cyl) Automatic (ugh)
Initial Goals:
Commute to work (25mi) each way (office has charging station in back!)
Accelerate to 65mph (highway speeds, bumper to bumper traffic, merging etc)
2 Passengers (400lbs combined)
Location: San Jose, CA
Budget: 4-6K
Time: Before wife gets sick of nothing getting done!
Optimal goals: +$8K?
100mi distance before charge
0-60 in 5sec (please?!) ;-)
Regenerative braking
I've been thinking about a 144v (240v??) motor (not sure which one yet, don't get volts-HP equivalency) and LiPo battery packs. I've found 72v100ah med discharge batteries that I like (working on the price). Not sure how many I need at this point (initial or optimal). Also, having worked at Boeing for a number of years, I've become a little enamored with the idea of using a 777 electric starter motor...any guesses why?? LOL (can someone talk me out of this?)
Things that I've been considering:
Dropping the automatic transmission and replacing it with ????
- Would like to have mid-engine tranny that is fast off the line but an over-drive for highway.
- May go with paddle shifters instead of clutch, wifey can't drive a clutch and has no desire to learn... (suggestions?)
Not using the Fiero but a tubular body (Fiero was $400 and barely running) but no accidents and disc brakes!
Thanks again for your thoughts, links, lessons learned etc. Anyone in the area that I can connect with and compare notes? I live in the Campbell area.

Asian stock markets mostly rose Thursday as the US Federal Reserve announced fresh monetary easing and said it would not lift interest rates until unemployment was under control.
However, the gains were capped after the central bank's chief Ben Bernanke said the looming fiscal cliff of huge tax hikes and deep spending cuts was already hitting the economy.
The yen continued its slide ahead of the weekend's general election in Japan that is expected to see a victory for the opposition, whose leader has vowed to press for more aggressive measures to kickstart growth.
Tokyo climbed 1.15 percent, lifted by the weakening yen, Hong Kong gained 0.22 percent, Sydney added 0.10 percent and Seoul was 0.60 percent higher, but Shanghai lost 0.36 percent.
After a two-day meeting the policy committee of the US central bank said it would replace its "Operation Twist" bond swapping programme with $45 billion a month in straight bond buys, on an open-ended basis.
That comes on top of the $40 billion a month purchasing announced in September.
The Fed also provided a surprise by saying it would not lift rates as long as the inflation outlook was below 2.5 percent and the jobless rate, now at 7.7 percent, stays above 6.5 percent.
"The Fed's decisions did not really surprise anyone, although its comments about expecting rates to remain very low as long as unemployment remains above 6.5 percent were somewhat novel," said Hiroichi Nishi, general manager of equities at SMBC Nikko Securities.
"The bottom line is that it will continue its aggressive steps to foster economic growth," he told Dow Jones Newswires.
However, the Fed's announcement was followed by a warning by Bernanke that Washington needed to come to an agreement in their talks on avoiding the fiscal cliff, adding that the lack of action was already causing problems.
"Even though we have not even reached the point of the fiscal cliff potentially kicking in, it's already affecting business investment and hiring decisions by creating uncertainty or creating pessimism," he said at a news conference.
On Wall Street the Dow and S&P 500 ended flat, while the Nasdaq fell 0.28 percent, with earlier gains from the Fed announcement cut back by Bernanke's comments.
On currency markets the yen remained under pressure as Sunday's poll approaches, with Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's Democratic Party of Japan likely to lose to the Liberal Democratic Party, which is headed by Shinzo Abe.
Abe, a former prime minister, has promised to push a more aggressive monetary easing policy to jumpstart the economy.
The dollar was changing hands at 83.42 yen in early Asian trade, from 83.24 yen in New York late Wednesday, while the euro was at 108.95 yen from 108.85 yen. That compares with 82.67 yen and 107.48 yen earlier on Wednesday in Asia.
The euro bought $1.3063 against $1.3075.
Oil was lower in Asia Thursday, with New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in January, falling 19 cents to $86.58 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for January delivery shedding 15 cents to $109.35.
Gold was at $1,699.60 at 0230 GMT compared with $1,713.22 late Wednesday.

LumoPro have released an image hinting at the appearance of their upcoming LP180 Quad Sync Manual Flash. This latest picture comes following initial leaks and an official announcement that the company is developing the device, the successor to the LP160, which was popular among off-camera flash enthusiasts.
The teaser, published on the firm's web site, gives little away except the outline of the speedlight body, the engraved LumoPro logo and a glowing red "Ready" light. The flash head has a stylised cutaway design but whether this has any practical utility is not clear.
What do you think of this latest titbit of information about the elusive LP180? Are you interested in buying one when it is finally released?
Looks like it might have a way of taking modifiers on the head like grids and gels to be bought as an upsell kit… if it has its a great idea.. Head looks big enough to have a 200mm zoom..
i will likely buy one or two, i have 2 lumopro 160's, and really like them…. Only thing that will stop me is if they dont have more power adjustments! Only full stops, need 1/3 stop adjustments. I am selling off my sb80's (just sold one, and have 1 left) hoping to get the 180's to replace the sb's….
I have a couple of 160 which are a great value for the price. The issue for off camera flash users is which company will build in radio frequency manual and/or i/eTTL control. For manual flash users having the ability to dial in the exposure in 1/3 stop increments looks like the direction flash makers are going. Hopefully Lumopro is taking this direction
i went to buy a 160 found out they stopped selling them and waited for the update. but with the YN560 III out now i think i'll stop wasting my time.
Love my LP160 and was planning to buy another until they discontinued them. Now I'll either get the LP180 when it comes out, or spring for another Nikon unit. I don't trust the Yongnuo flashes from all the reports of problems on the 'net.
I wish they make also an external battery system for this LP180, or atleast put some universal connection to it enabling the use of some other well known and trustworthy manufacturers battery kit.

Henry Abbey
On A Great Warrior - Poem by Henry Abbey
When all the sky was wild and dark,
When every heart was wrung with fear,
He rose serene, and took his place,
The great occasion's mighty peer.
He smote armed opposition down,
He bade the storm and darkness cease,
And o'er the long-distracted land
Shone out the smiling sun of peace.
The famous captains of the past
March in review before the mind;
Some fought for glory, some for gold,
But most to yoke and rule mankind.
Not so the captain, great of soul,
At peace within the granite grave;
He fought to keep the Union whole,
And break the shackles of the slaves.
A silent man, in friendship true,
He made point-blank his certain aim,
And, born a stranger to defeat,
To steadfast purpose linked his name.
He followed duty with the mien
Of but a soldier in the ranks,
This God-sent man that saved the State,
And conquered its victorious thanks.
How well he wore white honor's flower,
The gratitude and praise of men,
As General, as President,
And then as simple citizen!
He was a hero to the end!
The dark rebellion raised by death
Against the powers of life and light,
He battled hard, with failing breath.
O hero of Fort Donelson,
And wooded Shiloh's frightful strife!
Sleep on! for honor loves the tomb
More than the garish ways of life.
Sleep on! sleep on! Thy wondrous days
Fill freedom's most illustrious page.
Long-mem'ried Fame shall sound thy praise
In every clime, in every age.

Travel postcard: 48 hours in Jodhpur, India
By Barbara Lewis
JODHPUR, India (Reuters Life!) - Got 48 hours to explore Jodhpur, the second largest city in the north Indian state of Rajasthan?
Internationally known for polo matches and the traditional riding trousers worn by its players, one of Jodhpur's greatest attractions is a fairytale fort.
Perched on a hill-top, on the edge of the Thar Desert, the fort looms over the indigo walls of the chaotic old town that have earned Jodhpur the nickname of the blue city -- as opposed to Jaipur, the pink city and Rajasthan's capital. Reuters correspondents with local knowledge give you some tips on how to spend 48 hours there:
Saturday 8 a.m. If full authenticity is your aim, breakfast from the hot snack and chai sellers that greet every arriving train.
Drop off your bags wherever you're staying. Options range from cheap and noisy hotels among the blue buildings of the old town to the hushed, five-star Umaid Bhawan, which is also home to the maharajah.
Somewhere in between, you could try the Devi Bhawan -- a roughly 100 rupee ($3.54) ride, or less if you're game for some aggressive haggling, in an auto rickshaw from the station.
Jodhpur's rickshaws stand apart from the more utilitarian models of say Delhi. They are bigger and decorated with mirrors and pictures, according to the tastes of drivers who know the width of their vehicles to the millimeter -- most of the time.
10 a.m. From your hotel, a short rickshaw drive takes you up to the Mehrangarh fort. Continued...

Triple treat: Ford's drive to keep increasing its capacity to produce EcoBoost engines continues with the opening of a new production line in Romania.
11 May 2012
By HAITHAM RAZAGUI
FORD'S second factory in Europe to build its new three-cylinder EcoBoost petrol engine started production yesterday, following the recent addition of a third shift to the EcoBoost V6 line at its Cleveland factory in the US.
The creation of a "world class" new engine plant in the Romanian city of Craiova, about 200km west of Bucharest, represents €180 million ($A231 million) of a total €675 million investment in production facilities by Ford in the Eastern European country.
The investment forms part of Ford's plan to more than triple production of EcoBoost-equipped vehicles from 141,000 last year to about 480,000 by 2015, by when the high-tech engines are expected to power more than half of Ford's petrol-engined vehicles in Europe.
Last year, Ford invested £110 million ($A176 million) in a new high-tech production line at the Cologne engine plant in Germany, where up to 350,000 three-cylinder engines will be built per year.
The creation of the Romanian facility will eventually enable Ford to double that figure and the company expects its capacity to build the three-cylinder engines will reach 1.3 million units per year once production is expanded beyond Europe.
Between this year and 2015 Ford aims to produce more than 1.3 million EcoBoost engines for its European vehicles, of which 800,000 are expected to be the three-cylinder from Cologne and Craiova.
From top: Ford EcoBoost V6 production at Cleveland, Ford B-Max, Ford EcoSport.Ford expects the remainder to be made up of 1.6-litre four-cylinder units built in Britain plus Spanish-built 2.0-litre units.
These figures do not include engines sold to other brands like Volvo and Jaguar Land Rover or those exported for use in overseas market vehicles like the Australian four-cylinder Falcon.
To provide perspective, Ford says the British facility that builds the 1.6-litre EcoBoost engines is expected to produce one million units for the period 2012-2015, meaning the estimated 400,000 powerplants destined for its European vehicles represent less than half its output.
A single shift at Craiova will build the three-cylinder 1.0-litre EcoBoost to begin with – the first Ford-built engine to come out of Romania – and production will ramp up as demand increases.
Ford Romania president Jan Gijsen described the Craiova factory as "one of the most competitive and modern plants in the auto industry".
The three-cylinder EcoBoost engine entered the European market earlier this year under the bonnet of Ford's Focus small car in 74kW and 92kW tune.
Ford plans to add it to the new Fiesta-based B-Max people-mover – which will also be built at Craiova from later this year – with power outputs of 74kW and 88kW.
Focus-based C-Max and Grand C-Max people-movers are also in line to receive the engine and Ford says further vehicles will be added to the list in future.
Ford Romania engine unit manager Ian Pearson said the Craiova plant will deliver "state-of-the-art sustainable manufacturing capability", giving the example of a new manufacturing technique that reduces the amount of coolant required when machining aluminium engine parts from as much as two litres down to four or five millilitres.
EcoBoost engines are claimed to achieve high specific output and low fuel consumption through the use of turbocharging, direct injection, precise valve control and idle-stop.
Measures to reduce the inherent vibration of three-cylinder engines include deliberately unbalanced pulleys and flywheel, plus six counterweights located on the crankshaft, reducing complexity and weight compared with traditional balancer shafts.
The Ford Focus fitted with the three-cylinder EcoBoost engine returns claimed fuel consumption of 4.8 litres per 100 kilometres and CO2 emissions of 109 grams per kilometre for the 74kW version, while the 92kW version consumes 5.0L/100km and emits 114g/km.
Australia's first application of the EcoBoost triple will be the Indian-built, Fiesta-based EcoSport compact SUV that is due to arrive in local showrooms during the second half of 2013.
In North America, Ford is responding to increasing demand for its 3.5-litre V6 EcoBoost engine, which is used in the Taurus sedan, F-150 truck, Flex crossover, Lincoln MKS luxury sedan and Lincoln MKT luxury SUV.
A third shift has begun at the Cleveland No. 1 line in Ohio, with around 250 workers relocated from the recently closed Cleveland No. 2 plant that produced and gave its name to Ford's iconic 351 V8 engine.
In addition to producing six-cylinder EcoBoost engines, the Cleveland plant also builds the Mustang's naturally aspirated 3.7-litre V6.
More than 39,000 vehicles fitted with the V6 EcoBoost engine were sold in the first quarter of this year, up 285 percent compared with the same period in 2011.

|Big Truck is a thoroughbred racehorse out of Just A Ginny by Hook and Ladder. He was born around 2005 in the United States, and was bred by A. Lakin & Sons.
|Major wins

|Horse (Equus ferus caballus)
|Last updated on March 15, 2008
Big Truck (foaled 2005 in New York- March 4, 2010) was an American Thoroughbred Racehorse. Sired by Hook and Ladder, a grandson of Northern Dancer, out of the mare Just A Ginny, a daughter of the 1994 Kentucky Derby winner, Go for Gin.
Trained (until the fall of 2009) by Barclay Tagg, owned by Eric Fein and ridden by Ramon Dominguez, Big Truck broke his Maiden on August 23, 2007 at Saratoga Race Course winning by about 6 and half lengths over runner-up, Post Exchange.
Prior to his next start in the Bertram F. Bongard Stakes at Belmont Park on September 23, 2007, trainer Tagg noted that Big Truck may be his best two-year-old in a barn that has many promising colts for the Triple Crown. Tagg, noting other promising two year old Tale of Ekati who won the Belmont Futurity Stakes, said that Big Truck might "end up being the best out of them all." Adding "This guy's as smooth as glass."[citation needed]
Following Tagg's remarks, Big Truck was sent to the gate as a heavy 1/5 in the Bongard Stakes on September 23, 2007. Big Truck defeated a field of 5 after dueling with the Todd Pletcher-trained colt Spanky Fischbein in the final 1/8th of the stretch, winning by about two and a half lengths.
Big Truck next raced on October 20, 2007 in the Sleepy Hollow Stakes, stretching out his distance yet again, this time to one mile. Though sent off as a heavily favored 1/4, Big Truck was upset by Giant's Moon and edged out for second by a nose by Costal Drive.
Big Truck's next race was on November 24, 2007 in the $200,000 Grade II Remsen Stakes. Being ridden this time by Alan Garcia, Big Truck was cut off by the first and third place finishers, Court Vision and Trust N Dustan respectfully in the stretch. Garcia claimed foul after the race and following a lengthy inquiry no changed were made. Big Truck finished Fourth.
2007 season
Tagg brought the Horse down to Florida in preparation for the major Kentucky Derby preps at Gulfstream Park, Tampa Bay Downs and Fairgrounds. Big Truck was put into the 7 Furlong Hutchenson Stakes, which is a lot shorter than the horse's preferred distance. Over a sloppy track, Big Truck was no factor and finished fifth.
Despite the need for graded money in order to qualify for the Kentucky Derby, Big Truck was put in the Sam F Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, to regain some form and confidence. Big Truck avenged his Hutchenson loss to Smooth Air by finishing 2nd to Smooth Air's 3rd and lost by 3/4 of a length to Fierce Wind.
Big Truck stunned the racing world by upsetting 1-9 favorite War Pass in the Tampa Bay Derby. Big Truck who sat off the pace for most of the race, turned for home outside a troubled War Pass and dueled with Atoned until Big Truck won by a neck. That win put him on the Kentucky Derby Trail, and Tagg said he will most likely ship right to Churchill in preparation for the Kentucky Derby on May 3, 2008
However, due to the amount of prep races and different horses winning them, Big Truck seemingly needs a little more in graded earnings to be a starter in Lousiville. Big Truck has been entered into the Grade 1 Toyota BlueGrass Stakes at Keeneland Race Course
In the Grade 1 Toyota BlueGrass Stakes Big Truck competed early and flattened out in the stretch in his first career start on the Polytrack. Tagg was shocked by the results and didn't know the reason for his performance although all of the main contenders including Pyro and Cool Coal Man didn't produce. Many were quoted by saying that the Bluegrass was a throw out for Big Truck. With his 11th place finish Big Truck didn't earn any graded money and with $194,500 is on the bubble to make the starting gate on the first Saturday in May.
With the defections of War Pass and Salute the Sarge from the Kentucky Derby trail, Big Truck finished the graded stakes race in 18th place, good enough to earn a start in Kentucky Derby 134 on May 3, 2008. Big Truck will be ridden by Javier Castellano who rode him in the Hutchenson Stakes because Eibar Coa picked up the mount on Tagg's other Derby entrant Tale of Ekati due to Edgar Prado committing Adriano for the Derby.
In the Kentucky Derby, Big Truck broke well from the 7 post but steadied after about 6 furlongs because of hard contact with Remsen foe Court Vision. Big Truck finished 18th in the Run for the Roses and will take some time off, most likely skipping the other two triple crown races, to come back on the turf against New York breds at Belmont and Saratoga.
Big Truck was rested until the August 20, 2008 running of the Albany Stakes at Saratoga where Big Truck was in contention and fell out to finish third behind OTB Big Apple Triple Winner Tin Cup Chalice and Thatsrightofficer.
2009 season
Unraced in all 2009, he was transferred from the training barn of Barclay Tagg to trainer Derek Ryan in the fall of that year.
2010 season
Under Ryan he had started in a $20,500 allowance race at Tampa Bay January 29, 2010 where he finished last.[1] Unfortunately during training he was injured and euthanized on Thursday March 4, 2010 at Tampa Bay Downs.[2]

♬ 'Breathe Life' by Jack Garratt
2015, what a year!
A year where I kept on thinking 'I should blog soon'.
A year where so many more exciting things entered my world and have made me a better person.
A year where I only blogged FOUR TIMES.
2014 - 41 times
So what 6 things are actually happening in 2016 on MixitCookit?
More cake
Less sugar
More action
Vitamix recipes
Better grammar
Bold baking
Wild Blueberry Cake 2016
My first bake of the year was for my lovely brother who loves a classic Victoria sponge. I can't be dealing with strawberry jam all the time, it is a classic but my brother had some wild blueberry jam which added a wonderful flavour to the sponge. I sandwiched the cakes together with vanilla spiked whipped cream and added a chocolate sponge for additional flavour.
Laser Quest Cake 2015
One of my favourite projects in 2015 was this cake below, I had a lot of help with making this cake and cannot thank Tim enough for sticking at my side when my arms were fondant green and flour was stuck in my hair.
I wanted to capture the laser quest experience in a cake and so a laser and smoke machine had to be involved. In total the cake took 12 hours and the base contained the lasers which the kids LOVED!
Sometimes when you think it can't be done then that's even more reason to do it.
Have a wonderful January.

That is when he was met with a Ray Durham leadoff single, setting up the homer by Bonds, who struck out in each of his first three at bats.
Colon then gave up a single to Benito Santiago, and after Jose Cruz's fielder's choice bunt, a single to Pedro Feliz. After balking, putting the runners in scoring position, Colon intentionally walked Edgardo Alfonzo to load the bases with one out.
Damaso Marte then came in and gave up the grand slam to pinch-hitter Rich Aurilia. Colon ended up allowing seven runs in 8 1/3 innings.
The Sox scored their four runs on Frank Thomas' two-run homer in the first and a Joe Crede bases-loaded two-run single in the third.
Crede went 3-4 in the game, while Tony Graffanino went 2-4. Aaron Rowand, making his first start since being recalled on Tuesday, went 1-4.
The Sox will now face the visiting Padres in a three-game set starting Friday at 7:05 p.m. CT, with Esteban Loaiza going up against Kevin Jarvis. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Net Chicago Plus.

68 sdv and cruise night (pics)
I don't get to cruise nights with my 68 too often. All summer I'm busy with business, travel, family, and 3 kids. But my friend invited me to his local Wednesday cruise tonight. He just imported an "unrestored" GMC from California and wanted to show it off. So I drove across town in traffic on this hot night to join him. An unrestored car can sure draw a crowd! Here are some pics hope you get my humour. (PS why can I no longer do CRs on this system what's wrong?)
Re: 68 sdv and cruise night (pics)
Your sense of humor is not lost on me! Also, good to see a pillared SDV being loved and cared for.
Re: 68 sdv and cruise night (pics)
Very cool!
Your friend's Sprint is really a rare find. Lots of El Camino's saved but very few of the GMC's. Were those available in Canada when new?
It is a shame you don't get to more cruise nights with your beautiful Cadillac. That car is a piece of well preserved automotive history that deserves to be shared with auto enthusiasts!
Thank you for thinking of us and posting the great pics.
Re: 68 sdv and cruise night (pics)
I have not see anything like this GMC , I presumed GMC only make SUVs in modern term , trucks lol
Thanks for the pics, I have saved taillight shots, one of the best pics I have ever seen

Instead of giving away cheap T-shirts or promotional clothing items at Austin's convention center during the massive SXSW festival, the tech company Medallia is collecting it from attendees.

Michael Scott would approve ... Discuss
In 2002, Alfredo Moser had a light-bulb moment. The neighborhood where he lived in southern Brazil suffered from constant blackouts, so after experimenting with plastic bottles and using refracted light from the sun, he figured out a way to light up his home without electricity. Since then, the idea of the "bottle light" not only caught on with his neighbors, but has swept poverty-stricken areas around the world. A Philippines-based non-profit called MyShelter even teaches locals how to make and install the water-bottle light bulbs, allowing them to earn an income. According to some estimates, the light is being used in more than a million homes across 15 countries. Moser, who teaches others how to install the simple technology, says that getting rich from the idea was never the goal for him. "It's a divine light. God gave the sun to everyone, and light is for everyone. Whoever wants it saves money. You can't get an electric shock from it, and it doesn't cost a penny" … Discuss
Almost 9 million people live in Lima, Peru. With limited local water purification infrastructure and not much annual rain, many local families struggle to find access to clean water. So when the University of Engineering and Technology of Peru wanted to advertise their school's innovative programs, they had an idea. What if they created a billboard that would convert air (Lima has about 90% humidity on a regular basis) into water? The resulting high-tech billboard makes thousands of gallons of water available for free to local families … Discuss
Writer Greg Karber does not like the business ethics of Abercrombie & Fitch. He was outraged by comments made by company CEO Mike Jeffries in which he admitted that his store's clothes are meant for "cool kids"—not those uncool, unattractive ones (like ones that wear a size extra-large). Karber also thinks it's pretty lame that the company would rather burn unused clothes rather than donate them to charity because, according to one district manager, "Abercrombie and Fitch doesn't want to create the image that just anybody, poor people, can wear their clothing."
Now, Karber has decided to help "rebrand" the retailer, by launching the #FitchTheHomeless campaign. He went to local thrift stores, bought all of the Abercrombie & Fitch clothes he could find and headed to Skid Row, where he gave the clothes to homeless people. He's now encouraging others to do the same—find Abercrombie & Fitch clothing, give it to the needy and Tweet about it with the hashtag. His goal? To make Abercrombie & Fitch "The World's No. 1 Brand of Homeless Apparel" … Discuss
Carolyn Miles, the CEO of Save the Children, has written this startling column for CNN that looks at America's relatively low ranking on the organization's State of the World's Mothers Index. Despite being 10th in the world for per capita income, the U.S. is 30th on the Mother's Index. Why so low? According to the piece, the primary factor is a low survival rate for mothers and babies. Here are some stats from Save the Children:
When it comes to a woman's lifetime risk of dying in pregnancy or childbirth, we do better than only five other developed countries: Albania, Latvia, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine. American women are 10 times more likely to die eventually from pregnancy-related causes than women in Estonia, Greece or Singapore … In the United States, 11,300 babies a year die on the day they are born. That's more than in the rest of the industrialized world combined.
The organization is currently trying to identify the reasons behind the low survival rate, but have observed several contributing factors: obesity, high rates of elective cesarean section deliveries and age can all play a role. But, they've also found that survival rates are lowest in economically poor communities and are asking lawmakers to create a National Commission on Children to address the challenges facing mothers who live in poverty … Discuss

Prosecutor: Elderly Elizabeth Woman Annette Hemple Killed By Daniel Rios For Her Loose Change « CBS New York

This goes to show that sometimes trouble comes and finds you. At 92, I'm sure she kept a low key life and probably somewhat secluded but it didn't stop this thug from preying on her; probably some drug addict trying to get a fix.
I've still got that vat of salt water and a sharp vegetable peeler :image035:
This rabid animal deserves to have been put down years ago.Quote:
Detectives said Hempel was the only victim who made the mistake of opening the door to Rios, a man with a lengthy criminal past that includes burglary and drugs.
"It's good he's arrested for what he did. She's 92 years old. She didn't deserve this," neighbor Louis Mojsea said.
this is why they made the electric chair...
I'm still all for the 'bind him tightly and feed him to the gators' routine, but this dirtbag would probably make the gators sick!:hand1:
"He would walk home to home, ring door bells. If occupants didn't answer he would break into their homes," Elizabeth Police Det. Thomas Koczur said.
Not a good plan here in Oklahoma. Make my day, pal.
"......... to Rios, a man with a lengthy criminal past that includes burglary and drugs."
This is the problem. Anyone with a "lengthy criminal past" should not be walking free.

Beyonce Performs 'Best Thing I Never Had' on 'Jimmy Fallon'
Beyonce played to her angelic side last night (July 28), wearing an ivory-colored dress while treating 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' viewers to a performance of her '4' album single, 'Best Thing I Never Had.'
Opting to forgo her curls and show off her wavy tresses, the R&B songstress stood center stage with the the Roots assisting as her backing band. Bey performed a reworked version of the single, for which she is requesting the help of fans to film a new video to support the track.
Apparently, during rehearsals, the powerhouse asked Questlove and the crew if she could tap them to go on tour alongside her, according to a 'Jimmy Fallon' staff member.
The 29-year-old entertainer has been busy promoting her fourth album with a whirlwind of TV appearances and performances. Earlier Thursday, she sat down with the ladies of 'The View' to discuss her career and time off last year, in which she still snuck in studio sessions. "I still worked, just because I enjoy my job and one of the things I learned is how much I love it," Beyonce told Barbara Walters. "It's just in me."

Do I have to glue and nail 7 1/2" flooring
I'm installing a walnut 71/2" floor over a new osb sub-floor, its 5/8's thick. I've ask 3 "pro's" and have got 3 different answers. One said do not use glue at all, the other said glue only and the third said glue and nail.
If the flooring is solid then any flooring over 5" should be glued and nailed. It sounds like it is engineered flooring. If it is you only need to nail it. Solid flooring will cup. I have seen 3" flooring cup with alot of humidity present. An engineered floor is more stable, because of the cris crossing layers of wood it will not expand and contract very much.
It's a solid rustic grade (has some knots, burl, ect). So glue only or glue and nail/staple. I really appreciate the quick answer, I will be installing this floor over the holidays and want to make sure its done right. Its going over advantec osb sub-floor, can I use Bosticks best or is their something better.
Why not check with the company that made the flooring for there suggestions on installing it. There the ones going to be looking for an excuess not to warrenty it if it's installed wrong.
I bought the flooring at auction at a very good price ($1.65) so no warranty. We're building a log home and we think it will look great. But even at that price I don't want it to fail after a few months, I'm looking for the best method possible. The one person that told me to not use glue said "with a plank that wide it will expand at a different rate that the sub-floor and if I glue it it will pop off the sub-floor for sure. Like everything I guess everyone is an expert, he was a salesman at a flooring store, don't even know if he ever installed a floor. I really appreciate the info I get here - Thank You.
Woodman has a lot of flooring experience---trust him.
I agree with woodman. All solid hardwood 5" wide and over need to be glued and nailed. I would do the same even if it was engineered, but may not be necessary.
Although you're not expecting a warranty, you should still research the right way to do it. There should be a manufacturer's name on the boxes, no? Even if not I would check other manufacturers' instructions for a similar item.
So, is it solid or engineered?
Its solid, I wasn't questioning his reply, He said to glue it and I just wanted to know if I should nail it also. Although I'm a licensed builder I got into the energy conservation business at a very early age, it has been good to me and their aren't many that have 40 years experience in this field. If any of you guys ever need any info in this field feel free to email me. I'm also a certified Dept. of Energy inspector. I'm now 61 and building my retirement home in northern MI. and learning a lot about all the other trades.
Thank's to all of you
Sdave5, I have amended my first post. I did not realize I left out the nailing part. It will need to be glued and nailed. You don't need to full spread the floor with glue. Just use liquid nail (or equivilent adhesive) and zigzag down the middle at least 3" to 4" wide. If you do it this way the floor will not fail.
