Teachers. Admit it. This is a perk of the job isn't it?(335 Posts)
Just got dds work home as she finishes this week.
In the bag are some things that are mounted and have clearly been on the wall either in the classroom or (gulp) the main corridors or halls.
In one she provides a slice of homelife which is mighty embarrassing and makes us sound like total wankers. She also talks about drinking wine. She is 8.
You find these things don't you, with a silent shout of glee. I have believed this since my mother told me about turning up at my school and on the wall was a picture I had drawn of her and dad 'playing in the bath'.
Come on. You might as well admit it....
When my DD was in reception I went in to meet with the class teacher who had great pleasure in showing me a picture my DD had drawn. They were asked to draw their favourite thing and DD had drawn a picture of Fizz from the Tweenies, with a large, pink caption declaring, 'Fizz is my fart', her 5 yo way of spelling favourite apparently.
When my DH & I split up, I moved to a new area with the children. It was only after several months of funny looks that I found out DS1 (then 4) had told everyone at school that his dad was in prison!
When the kids were young I worked as a freelance TV producer. When asked to write about his parents' jobs my son wrote 'Daddy takes the train to work and Mummy watches television all day . . . '
Year 10 (I would have been 15). Teacher asked where I lived and when I replied she said "oh dear, there's a lot of rape in the fields there". I looked at her jaw agape and muttered that I didn't think that was the case. She persisted that she wouldn't walk through the fields. Silence followed in which the realisation hit us both that she meant the plant (she suffered from hay fever) and that I thought she meant sexual assault. I was mortified - worse, she was a psychology teacher so I was left to wonder what she'd read into my misunderstanding!!
One youngster I worked with called me a philiopede. A member of staff then corrected him by saying "I think what you mean is paedophile, and you're right TLC is a paedophile!!" The idiot then went on to explain the derivation of paedophile, I.e. love & children. Don't know who was most horrified/scared, me or the youngster
In reverse: when I was at primary school, my mum once asked me what our teacher did while we were getting on with the work he had set us. My reply? 'He sits at his desk and twiddles his thumbs'.
My favourite piece of work that I marked from last year.
I aksed my mum if I could go to the faire. She said 'you cunt!'
A bit of a harsh response (was supposed to say can't and was a frequent mistake during this piece of work!)
In my first year of teaching, in a very strict RC school, I taught a little boy who told me that his daddy had needed the loo while he was in the bath last night. When he had finished Daddy had needed to scratch his scrotum. (His words, not mine). I didn't know where to look at parents evening!
My son wrote in his book :
When my mummy drops me at school, she rushes off to go and see Mr Boston every day. Mr Boston has brown hair and my mummy kisses him. Mummy and Mr Boston have been to Scotland for the weekend and had a party. My mummy takes Mr Boston sweeties. My daddy doesn't like Mr Boston much because Mr Boston kicked my daddy and so my daddy smacked him on the nose. My mummy loves Mr Boston and I like him too.
Underneath the teacher wrote something like 'very nice writing'.
What my son failed to say was that Mr Boston is a racehorse, and the trip to Scotland was for a race.
Worse, it had been written some time ago, and I can only imagine his teacher in that intervening time watching me drop him at school and rush off and her thinking I was having an affair!
Hahaha loving this thread.
Reminds me of when I was about 3yo and I went to a childminder who was teetotal and frequent drinking holes very much. On trips out we used to pass pubs which me and my parents went to for Sunday lunches. So there was me pointing out all the best pubs to go to with particular recommendations going to the ones which had the best play areas.
Following on from Kacy - my year 7 class put together their Summer Reading lists last week, one task for this they had to which books they were looking forward to reading the most. When I checked one girl's list she had Fifty Shades of Grey on there, the worst part was that it was 'recommended' by another girl in the class. When I asked the girl if she had actually read it, she replied "no, but my mum reads it all the time. Its on my list so I've only put two more books on there because it takes so long to read. My mum has had it for year now and still hasn't finished, she has to read it in the bedroom on her own so she can concentrate and only dad is allowed in there to help her".
AARGH! I was howling, I'm dreading parents eve!
When I was a student teacher I was teaching a lesson in which the class (year 5 so 9/10) were learning about the respiratory system. When I pointed out the diaphragm a very sensible girl's hand shot up, "Miss, my mum's got a diaphragm in her underwear drawer."
Needless to say I had to stage a coughing fit so I could leave the classroom for five minutes!
I asked my class to write about their hopes and dreams for the year ahead. A Y4 girl wrote, "I want to read three really big books this year. I'm getting them with my Christmas money. One is called Fifty Shades of Grey, one is Fifty Shades Darker and I can't remember the other one." Her Mum was mortified!
Me and mum found an old exercise book of mine from about age 9 where I had to answer a science question at school. It was along the lines of... Why do animals give birth to a whole litter of babies, when humans tend to only give birth to one? I'd answered, short and sweet, "Humans can't cope with more than one child at a time". I got a huge red tick and "Good answer!"
Mum was pretty embarrassed (about 15 years late)
My mum was a bit annoyed with:
'...a party at my auntie's house. Uncle Albert was there. He told dirty jokes and everybody laughed.'
And very glad it wasn't my dad who saw:
'.... this weekend my grandad died. He was my daddy's daddy. It is very sad....'
above this story was my drawing of my grandad lying dead at a bus stop.
When DS2 was 8 his dad was late taking him to school, DS1 said "Tell them your dad's incompetent" So DS2 marches in and says loudly, "Sorry I'm late, my dad's incontinent"!!!
My DS(7) at the time was telling me about some of the kids at the school and what they had been up to. "And then they shagged" he said!!
After a bit of confusion, I worked out that he thought shagging meant kissing!!
Year 4 class writing their own rules for living (inspired by the 10 Commandments). Lots of ideas like do not fight, be kind to your family etc. One boy included "Do not light pubic fires." I think he'd missed an l out...
A few years ago i was looking after my friends three sons and we were all sitting down to dinner, with my two daughters. As we were eating i asked all the kids how school had been that day.
Friends middle son aged five perked up "i had sex today"
(it was a girl in his class giving him a kiss and running away!)
Hilarious stories, so funny I am feeling very brave even contemplating adding anything to it...
In my primary school, class full of 10/11yo kids. Two kids (a boy and a girl) were bickering while teacher had stepped out of the room. Both kids were confident types and neither was going to back down.
Things were getting heated when the boy, quite muscular for his age, obviously thought he'd play his trump card and silence his opponent with the threat of violence, he snarled with meaningful emphasis "if you aren't careful I'm gonna put you in the maternity ward" - to which the entire class creased up entirely and irretrievably, there wasn't a dry eye in the room when teacher came back in and had to try to restore order. The mirth lasted all day and the poor lad in question never lived it down. It remains to this day a memory of one of the best ever days at school for the sheer funny factor.
OH MY!!! wetting myself with laughter!!
When I was about 6ish... I was round my grandmas house with all aunties, uncles and every one, think we were talking about dreams,
when I piped up "my mum has nightmares!"
my mum "really?"
me "yes in the middle of the night, i always hear you going ahh ahh ahh"
(i actually made the sex noises)
my mum and dad looked very embaressed, got very cross, and they very quickly left, and in the car on the way back home, i got bollocked... but i was clueless, didnt think id done anything wrong. until i remembered years later, makes me cringe haha...
When my DD was in y 2 she constantly forgot to bring her lunch box home. One morning, very early because I was working from 7.30 am until 8 pm, I discovered she had not brought her lunchbox home. I told my dad (who was taking her to school) and DD that she'd have to have school dinners today and to tell the teacher during the register.
Fast forward to that afternoon, I had a missed call from school. So i called them back. Apparently DD had told the teacher when she sat down to lunch with yesterday's half eaten packed lunch that I had said she had to eat it a second day running as she was wasting food! They fully believed her and the head teacher had actually paid for her to have a school dinner! The teacher said that she could see where I was coming from but wasn't sure that making her eat manky old sandwiches was the best way. Obviously I told them my version of events and DD admitted later that she had forgotten to say school dinners during the register and had panicked. I could have died!
My 'little darling' was seen by an ed psych recently who wanted his views on schools... He was asked 'If you had 3 wishes to change school what would they be?' He only needed 2 wishes...
'Stop all lessons' and 'Sack all the teachers'
That little beauty is in his report for his statement and been shared with all parties!!!
In reception he called out in assembly to a policeman that 'You can buy them re-feck-tors at Lidl for 3 quid'
He told the school vicar that last time he was at rugby I drank so much wine I couldn't drive home... and it wasn't the first time it had happened!
(happened twice and both times at the presentation ball a year apart!)
He does have ASD so he just shares and his logic is absolutely spot on but not quite as you know it.... It's led to much assuming that it's learnt behr....
But really I do not think odd socks actually match on the basis that they were both bought at Asda!
This is hilarious - am crying with laughter here!
My son told his teacher that his mummy and daddy didn't live together and mummy lived with Jamie now because "he has a bigger willy than my daddy!"
My ex and I separated when DS was 20 months, all very civil, no one else involved! We did both re-marry after about 4 years (other people that is) and willy size was not a factor in any of it!
This year i taught year 6. Starting the subject of microrganisms I asked if anyone knew anything about it. One boy asled if it was to do with sex. All the adults eyes dropped to the floor and i battled not to.lose it imagining tiny orgasmsd!

As promised here is my range review from today. Three pistols compared. Glock 19 stock. Charter Arms Undercover 38 (first GEN) with Pachmyr Compac Grips and my new baby S&W 649. All shots taken indoors @ 25 feet. Shots taken in the first round @ 2 to 3 seconds apart. Just enough time to take a breath and exhale before firing.
1) First "round". Compare all 3 with trigger pull only. 30 rounds each firearm. Glock shot FMJ 115 grain Remington Ammo. Charter 38 shot FMJ 130 grain Remington. S&W 649 shot same FMJ ammo.
First up the G19. Like all Glocks it shot very smoothly. Recoil very manageable. I am the most familiar with this piece and surprisingly I did NOT shoot the best with it!! Most shots centrally located with 3 pulling to the right into the shoulder area. Considering I've not shot in MONTHS I'm pretty happy.
Next up. My First GEN Charter Arms Undercover 38. This little guy kicks! Recoil still manageable but even with the rubber Pachmyrs I could tell this guy would leave my hand feeling uncomfortable after a lot of rounds. I was SHOCKED when I retrieved the target. Pretty tight central pattern with one high and one low both to the right. Shot this one the best today.
Third in line...My new baby! S&W 649 still stock. I expected a little better from myself with this one but it may have been the new gun factor. Pattern mostly to the right with a few far right. Still good enough to down a BG tho. Recoil much more friendly than the CA38. Very nice but firm trigger pull. Smoother than the CA piece as well.
2) Round #2. Compare the CA and 649 in rapid fire DA fashion. Can't draw at this range so I raised each from chest to sights and started pulling!
Pretty comparable with the CA pulling right a few times and the 649 pulling left. Actually the 649 did a little better here...or I DID! LOL The Smith felt much smoother and more controlled squeezing them off in rapid fashion.
3) Round #3. 5 rounds Single action. I was slow and intentional. Pretty comparable between the CA38 and the Smith. I KEYHOLED 2 shots with the Smith. I was VERY happy about that!!! If the BG lets me have time to go SA he's a gonner!!
4) Round #4. 5 rounds with the Smith DA in .357. Wow. The recoil was substantially hotter!! I used 125 grain FXT Hornady Critical SD ammo here. All pulled right or low...going to need a little more practice with the .357. Still manageable but kicked more than I expected even for a light bullet!
Here are the pics. Proof's in the pudding boys!!
Overall I had a BLAST! LOVED the new Smith and I'm sure I'll improve with it. Surprised by the little CA ...and my Glock...always love it!
ps - the new Burger King Smokehouse XT was one tasty spicy burger on the way home! :-D
A few refused to upload dangit!!! LOL Oh well.
Hey, what about the pics? :frown:
I was really lookin' forward to seeing your new gun with those fancy grips that you posted about...
If you need help posting pictures, send me a pm; or do a quick search on the subject. We've helped a few people out who were having trouble posting pics.
Actually the stock grips weren't as bad as I thought holding it in the store and they were fairly comfortable while shooting since they are a softer rubber...but I'm sure I'll do better when the new ones arrive.
I just picked up a used, new to me, 649. It's in great shape! I have been thinking about replacing the rubber grips with some fancy wood grips. Where did you get the grips for yours? Thanks and Happy New Year!

Revised 1992-99 Seasonally Adjusted Data Now Available for Southeastern Manufacturing Survey
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta today released annual revisions for seasonally adjusted data for its Survey of Southeastern Manufacturing Conditions. The annual revisions cover the period of January 1992 through December 1999.
In addition to incorporating standard annual updates for seasonal factors, the revisions include late-received reports from Southeastern manufacturers not previously incorporated in published reports. The seasonal factors are derived over the entire eight-year period, using the U.S. Bureau of the Census X-11 ARIMA seasonal adjustment procedure.
The release of January's initial data in the Southeastern Manufacturing Survey is scheduled for Feb. 14. The historical revisions contain monthly revisions to December 1999 data.
Series that did not pass statistical tests for stable seasonality have not been seasonally adjusted. For the month-ago series, data are not adjusted for new orders for exports and supplier delivery time. For the six-months-out series, data are not adjusted for finished goods inventories, capital expenditures, new orders for exports and for supplier delivery time.
Data can be downloaded from the Atlanta Fed's Southeastern Manufacturing Survey History.

It's been almost a month since two people were abducted from their California home, and one of them was burned, doused with bleach and had his penis partially severed. Investigators are still looking for clues.
An unidentified 29-year-old man and 53-year-old woman were kidnapped from separate rooms in their Southern California home on Oct. 1, tied up and driven to the Mojave Desert where they were left to die, according to the Los Angeles Times. Kyle Shirakawa Handley, 33, was arrested in connection to the crime on Oct. 6, but two remaining suspects are at large.
The motive? Unclear. Perhaps medical marijuana or money. Handley has pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated mayhem, felony torture, felony burglary and two felony counts of kidnapping for ransom. Cutting it off? A pretty stiff punishment for not giving up some weed and cash.

There are countless types and styles of brushes on the market that can be used in the pottery studio, but sometimes it can be hard to find the right brush for the job. So it can be a fun challenge to make your own brushes. By making your own, you can control the brushstroke qualities that are important to your work.
In today's post, an excerpt from Ceramic Decorating Tool Techniques: How To Use Clay Pencils, Slip Trailers, Glaze Pens, and Carving Tools to Decorate Ceramics, David Gamble explains how he makes his own custom brushes. From selecting the right kind of bristle, to adding a hanging loop so the brushes can be stored properly, David walks us through this easier-than-you-think process. –Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
Using the right tool for the job is always a good idea, but in ceramics, using the right brush is critical for creating certain marks on your pots. You'd have a difficult time trying to use a short flat brush to create a long thin line, yet when using the right brush, you can create that line without any effort at all.
Brushes are made from a wide variety of either animal hair or synthetics. The material affects how the brush loads and disperses a medium. For example, red sable hair is the best choice for watercolors and washes even though less expensive brushes can be made from camel, squirrel or horse hair. Stiff boar or hog bristles are good for oil paint, while in ceramics we tend to use hairs that load a lot of glaze, so we choose goat and China bristles (the industry term for hog hair). China bristles are normally longer and stiffer than goat hair.
By making your own brushes, you can control the qualities that are important and unique to you. Though manufactured brushes are made to perform well with certain media, as artists we tend to use whatever will work to make the marks we want.
For more fabulous mark making ideas, check out Amy Sanders' DVD Creative Forming with Custom Texture in the Ceramic Arts Daily Bookstore!
Materials List
To begin making your brush, select the hair you're going to use and get an extra long piece of dental floss to wrap the bottom of the hairs. Four hands work best for this so get someone to hold the hairs as you tie them (figure 1). Do not trim the floss yet. Next, cut the hairs at the base. Start with at least one inch of hair. If you want a longer brush, deer tail hair can be 3–4 inches in length or longer if you use most of the tail.
Remember that you'll need to leave about 1/4 to 1/2inch of hair to glue and wrap together (figure 2), so if you want a 1-inch-long brush tip, cut the hair to 1 1/2 inch. Dip the cut end of the brush hair into a puddle of white glue (figure 3). Allow the hair to soak up the glue. Wrap and tightly tie the rest of the floss, forcing the base of the hairs together into a tightly bound tube-like shape (figure 4). Allow to dry before gluing into the handle.
Choose a piece of bamboo that your brush hair will fit into tightly. Hold the bamboo behind a node like a brush to make sure it's comfortable. Bamboo is hollow between the nodes so decide how long you want the handle, and leave about 3/4 of an inch before you reach the node to create a natural ferrule you can fill with glue.
Wrap masking tape around the end of the bamboo where you plan to cut and use a fine-toothed hacksaw or jeweler's saw to cut the bamboo (figure 5). The tape keeps the bamboo from splintering. Sand both ends smooth (figure 6).
Test fit the brush hair in the handle then fill the ferrule space with glue (figure 7) and force the brush hair into it. Use a needle tool to shove it in tight so that the dental floss wrapping cannot be seen (figure 8). Let it dry.
Drill a hole through the bamboo at the end of the handle using a small drill bit so you can add a thread to hang the brush up (figure 9). You can also sand flat a section at the top of the handle so you can write your name on the brush with a permanent marker. Tung oil can be used on the handle for a finishing touch. No other finishing or waterproofing is needed. Over time, the oils from your hand will give the brush handle a nice patina.
As an alternative, yo
Trim off excess thread and add a thin amount of white glue over the wrap. I've also heard of thin copper wire being used.
With either method, once you've secured the brush hairs into the ferrule and the glue has dried, thread a piece of ribbon, twine, string or a leather strap through the hole at the end to create a hanging loop (figure 13). This finishing touch is just one more way to create your own special brushes.

More photos listed than included – what is missing?
I'd love to have a go at this, but no idea where I'd get any type of hair – except perhaps, horsehair – in the UK.
The last three photos were left off, and the written description of what's being done in those photos (wrapping the floss around the split bamboo) is very unclear. Too late to post them?
Oh, en la última parte, donde no están las fotos, realmente no comprendí cómo se hace,¿podrían publicarlas?
Does anyone know the technique/s to create a brush with a
quality natural point?
ie as for a sumie brush.
…would the technique use arrangement of long and short hair?
…a mixed ordered arranging of strong and soft hair/brisle?
regards Trevor
Useful tips to make own brushes and thanks you for sharing………
ime confused where are 11, 12, & 13 pictures plus we seem to be getting the same emails in very quick sucssion is someone on holiday sorry CAD i do love the everyday contact.This new way of having to renewing passwords etc grr.
where is figure eleven twelve and 13 , no 11. 12 or 13???
My second love is my horse, and at the barn, I have access to sheep, goat, bunny, donkey, camel, and of course horse hair. How would I assemble a camel hair brush tip? The hair is soft, yet wooly. Do I cut it or just bunch it up as you have shown in your photos?
What type of painting is a camel hair bursh used for?
My second love (hobby) is my horse, and at the barn, I have access to goat, sheep, camel, donkey, bunny, and horse hair. How would I gather the camel hair for the tip of the brush? Should it be cut or just gathered as your photographs suggest?
Also, what type of effect does camel hair produce on pottery? What type of glaze is best for this type of brush?
Sorry for the repeat – had to correct the 'love' part; family got jealous 🙂
given the water soluble nature of white glue, I've always preferred 5 minute epoxy for step 3 and 4.

Scream 2 to me is better than the first one with more scares and the killer is back wow the actors are great in the movie and Jerry O Connel stars as Derek wow Jerry O Connel in a horror movie i know he usually does comedies but im surprised to see him in Scream 2 the second is better than the first one i liked this one i really did oh also Sarah Michelle Gellar is in the movie as the college girl that gets killed by the killer also Jamie Kennedy as Randy its just sad to see him get killed in the 2nd movie cause i really liked his charcter Scream 2 get ready for it!
Sidney's now in college after her crazy ordeal in the first movie. Also returning are characters Randy, awesome character, Gale and Dewey. There's been another killing and of course there's the recognizable costume. Kind of guessed the twist at the end. While it's not better than the first, I thought it was pretty good and has some tense moments.
this movie was great!! my favourite part was definatly the sarah michelle gellar chase scene(i'd give it 10 stars)simple and clean:this movie rocks!!!!!!!1
What a movie! I could not believe the performance of Neve Campbell. Sidney(Neve) is finally getting over the murders in Woodsboro until...the premire of Stab: the true story movie of the Woodsboro murders. Sidney, along with the rest of the cast is running from the killer, for the second time. SPECIAL NOTE: Neve Campbell WON Best Female Performance at the 1998 MTV Movie Awards.
As student bodies begin dropping around Windsor College, a mature Sidney Prescott and everyone close to her are being pursued by a serial killer. Not knowing who will drop down next, Sid teams up with Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley to put an end to this horror and mayhem. This film was full of action which will keep you hanging on the edge of your seat. Watch the film carefully and see if you can guess who the kiler is going to be, using the rules from the previous film; you might be totally surprised. I really enjoed this film, and I have continued to watch it ever since I bought it. Unlike some other horror films, you will watch this one again and again due to the mix of thrills and chills. Absolutely frightening!! Advice: Watch it late at night for full fear effect.
Here it is the incredible follow-up to the smash hit phenomenon Scream! Away at college,Sidney Prescott thought she'd finally put the shocking murders that shattered her life behind her.....until a copycat killer begins acting out a real-life sequel!Now as history eerily repeats itself,ambitious reporter Gale Weathers,deputy Dewey,and other Scream survivors find themselves trapped in a terrifyingly clever plotline where no one is safe or beyond suspicion!Director Wes Craven brings you the best and scariest of the Scream series!

First, a disclaimer; this monitor is capable of many things - it can be hooked up to a computer, play high-quality audio, be used with games consoles, play HDTV and remotely control Chinese satellites. I use few of these, however - for me it's an all-round office PC monitor, and it's in that capacity that I'll be singing its praises.
Working in a small, poorly-lit office which is slowly turning me into a mole, I was growing pretty sick of the poky little monitor that was previously attached to my computer. I work with graphics and design a lot, and it was almost painful doing so on such a little screen. Hence this LG model came into my life. We have an LG television at home, and to date (touching wood) it's been comparable to the dog's proverbial nether regions, so I was confident that this monitor would be up to the job.
It's easy as anything to set up, and while I've never tested it as a TV or attached to a games console, I have moved it between PCs, and it's a pretty idiot-proof, plug-and-play process. Despite its impressive 23-inch screen, it's a light, cleanly-designed piece of equipment that delivers without fuss.
The screen is wonderfully sharp, bringing high-end graphics to glimmering life and doing justice to HD visuals. Personally, I also find it face-meltingly bright on its default session, but dialling it down to 20% makes for a nice balance. Maybe this is just another symptom of my cave-dwelling, sunlight-fearing weekday existence.
The widescreen format is a positive and negative - browsing the internet, playing games and the like look great - and films and videos are perfect. However, when working with graphics, this has a distorting effect which makes it hard to judge the real dimensions. Naturally, the dimensions of the screen can be changed, so this isn't a real issue, but I prefer not to fiddle back and forth with the settings, and find widescreen to be the optimal mode all-round.
I'm no expert on the technical side of these things, but I've no grounds for complaint about any aspect of the monitor's performance. Everything I've asked of it, it's coped with impressively - although admittedly, my demands are fairly basic.
As designers, LG consistently produce great-looking products with a sleek, stripped-back style. What's more, models from across their range have this style in common - so my TV looks a lot like this monitor, with the same glossy blank surround and red lighting, the same transparent edge. If you've got a lot of LG items, this visual harmony is a nice touch.
The monitor benefits from a clutter-free design, with the only additions to the basic shape half a dozen recessed buttons under the screen. Otherwise, it's a smooth, clean-looking monitor that's simple and restrained, but thoroughly modern-looking. It would look great whatever purpose you use it for.
As a very basic user, I haven't begun to test the full capabilities of this product - however, I can endorse it as a high-quality computer monitor that stands up easily to the varied demands of a busy office. At around £180, it's a well-priced option - sure, you could pay a lot less, but this isn't amongst the highest-end monitors, either. As a mid-range option with some top-end capabilities, this is a great buy.

Gay Marriage Scores a Win, Celebrities Tweet Reactions
It was a massive victory for gay marriage advocates today (June 26) when the United States Supreme Court ruled that California's Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.
The justices came back with a 5-4 decision, declaring that marriage doesn't have to only be between a man and a woman, which will start the ball rolling for a federal gay marriage sanction.
President Barack Obama tweeted, "Today's DOMA ruling is a historic step forward for #MarriageEquality. #LoveIsLove," while Kristen Bell chimed in, "You're damn right DOMA is unconstitutional!! #equalitymatters."
"Girls" star Lena Dunham proclaimed, "Don't wanna traffic in stereotypes but let's be real: I'm gonna love a gay wedding," and Adam Lambert penned, "Down w DOMA! Something to be very proud of this upcoming July 4th. We are making beautiful progress for Equality! #proud"
"Modern Family" stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Sarah Hyland noted respectively, "Victory for marriage in California as #Prop8 is struck down. Small but substantial steps toward #MarriageEquality for all!" and "AND no standing on #prop8?? Same sex marriage is legal in california! I better be getting some wedding invites... #whatdoiwear?"

In the co-main event, former world champ Rafael Marquez (37-5, 33 KOs) will stage his return after his three unforgettable wars with Israel Vazquez, in 2007-2008. Marquez faces Colombian Jose Francisco Mendoza (21-2-2, 17 KOs) in a WBC super bantamweight title eliminator. The card, promoted by Promociones del Pueblo, features three additional ten-rounders.

Hiking the Milford Track
This New Zealand Hiking Trail Might Just Change Your Life
The next morning was when the real hiking began, and we set a fast pace in anticipation of a long day on the trail. Our small group followed the west branch of the Clinton River, an impossibly turquoise tributary fed straight from the glaciers and snowmelt in the peaks that surrounded us on all sides. Rain is measured in meters here instead of centimeters and even on a sunny day, the trail was damp underfoot and every rock and branch dripped with green moss and tendrils. The bird calls were exotic, unlike any I had experienced in the northern hemisphere. No robins, wrens or cardinals here; these were the kakapo, the kea and the weka, mostly unseen in the thick undergrowth, but always present.
The Milford Track between Glade House and Pampolona Lodge (photo by Jason Heaton).
Before man arrived, New Zealand belonged to the birds. In fact, there is only one species of mammal native to New Zealand, and that is a bat. The native birds are all flightless; with no predators to fear, they lost the ability to fly. But with the Maori's arrival came the inevitable rats that stowed away on their boats. Then the European settlers introduced rabbits for something to hunt. Like an allegory of paradise found and paradise lost, the rabbits did as rabbits do and multiplied, out of control. To combat the rampant lepine population, the settlers introduced stoats, small weasel-like predators. But rather than hunt the rabbits, the stoats found the flightless, unafraid birds easier prey, quickly decimating the population. Today, the biggest ecological issue facing New Zealand is not water quality or air pollution, but its endangered bird species. Traps are set along the Milford Track every hundred meters and along our hike, we saw evidence of their success, with dead stoats inside and even one sprawled across the trail itself, as though a warning — for other stoat,s and for the humans who tread here.
As we neared our second night's destination, Pampolona Lodge, we came to an area prone to avalanches and saw evidence of a serious slide from only weeks before. Massive rocks and upended trees blocked our path, necessitating careful route-finding, picking our way on all fours through the labyrinth. It was slow going and ominous, and I found myself checking the steep mountainsides, which still poured with cascades from the snowfields on top. Finally, we reached relatively safe ground and it was a short, steep climb up to Pampolona Lodge, which was rebuilt within the past twenty years after an avalanche-induced flood washed away the previous building.
The lodges, though remote, are anything but spartan. The dining room at Pampolona was cozy, heated against the spring mountain chill by a crackling wood stove. Large windows and skylights gave panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, which towered above the treetops. It had all the feel of an elaborate treehouse, with the sleeping quarters built into the steep hillside, nestled among the trees and connected by covered wooden walkways. That night, after a well-earned dinner and New Zealand beer, I wandered back to the room I shared with two other hikers. Pausing in the dark, I heard the shrill call of the kiwi, that famous flightless emblem of this country — often heard but seldom seen. I contemplated grabbing my headlamp and setting off into the forest to catch a glimpse, but my legs, tired from a 10-mile hike, persuaded me otherwise, and I went to bed. The next day, we would be ascending MacKinnon Pass, and I needed the rest.

The magic of film often lies in its ability to make the unimaginable real; the distant closer and bring us into a sense of kinship with our fellow human beings. I respect and admire those people who work in film, not for fame or purely mercenary motives but for aspirational and idealistic reasons - they use their art as a medium to challenge preconceptions; invoke our compassion or incite a righteous anger at injustice.
Jake Gyllenhaal is one actor who prides himself on artistic integrity. A while ago he was quoted as saying "Aren't movies made to have something to say? Why make a movie if you don't have something to say? What are you doing it for? Are you doing it because you want to make a lot of money?"
And he has found something to say. Recently Mr Gyllenhaal has been busy promoting his latest film " Love and Other Drugs" in which he plays a Viagra Salesman who falls in love with a girl with Parkinsons Disease. Not your average romance, a typically quirky and challenging choice for the offbeat actor. I have not seen the film, nor do I wish to offer any opinions about it here.
What is bizarre and thought provoking, however, is Mr Gyllenhaal's comments in a recent interview where he discusses family values and reveals his most earnest hopes for this latest film which are : "young people will see this movie and see that love and sex can actually be connected." (Italics mine).
Now this is not beyond the realms of belief is it? Or has it become so for a portion of society?

Good News from former Apprentice to the park
Some of you will remember Matthew Gilbey, who was apprenticed to Head Gardener Ric Glenn. On completing his stint there was no job for Matthew to continue with Quadron, but this picture of a 'thumbs up' Matthew tells it all.
As Ric explains: 'Here is Supermatt just finished epicormic growth removal from this lakeside Laurus nobilis. He has now secured a 12 month apprenticeship at the Royal household in Windsor. I am very proud of his achievement.' We wish every success to Matthew in his new rôle.

For years, video enthusiasts had the choice of multiple entry- and midlevel video-editing programs for Windows computers -- Adobe's Premiere Elements, Pinnacle Studio, Sony Vegas and many others. But when it comes to Apple, iMovie has been about the only choice available for newbies -- until now.
Adobe this week updated its popular Premiere Elements for Windows with a Mac version. That's good news for those of us who got incredibly frustrated with the dumbed-down redesign three years ago of iMovie. Now, there are more choices.
Premiere Elements 9, available for $99.99 at adobe.com, and coming soon to retail outlets, allows video editors to work with multiple video and audio tracks, a task that's not available in iMovie. Adobe has added a new feature it calls the Cartoon Effect to turn any video into animation. We look forward to trying that one!
Premiere Elements 9 has a Windows version as well.

Dueling Fools
October 07, 1998
Mmmm, Mmmm, Duel
Campbell Soup price (10/6/98): $56 1/16
Got Soup? Find a can of Campbell Soup in your pantry lately? How about Godiva Chocolates or a rich Pepperidge Farms cake? Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB) is all this and more as one of the best-known food conglomerates around.
Got Duel? Why not? All we have to do to cook up this condensed debate is add two Fools and a bucket of water. This week Jeff Fischer (TMF Jeff) and Louis Corrigan (TMF Seymor) are Dueling Fools. The clash over consomm� should be a classic as Jeff stands up for this Drip Portfolio favorite while Louis tries to shoot down the tin cans.
Will Jeff's case of Campbell Soup running on a V8 engine sway you or will Louis' bearish perspective of a company on a Pace for capital depreciation win you over? V8 juices? Pace salsa? That's right, two more Campbell Soup products! So, grab a spoon, this one promises to be thick and hearty.
And don't miss this week's Duel Flashback, where we take a look back at who took the juiciest bit out of Apple Computer (Nasdaq: AAPL).
You Get to Vote!
Once you've read the arguments and the rebuttals, it's your time to cast your vote. We'll tabulate results each week and revisit them from time to time to see whether you were right! As always, we invite you to join us in the Dueling Fools Message board to continue the duel.
[Any suggestions, comments, praise, or flames, please send them along to the Dueling Fools Team.]
The Bull...
t is estimated that at least one Campbell Soup product is inside 80% of all American households every day. And studies show that the Campbell brand creates more consumer loyalty than any other brand in the country -- even more than Coca-Cola. But the last thing that I need to use to present the bullish Campbell Soup argument is nostalgia. Pulling on heartstrings has little to do with management's unwavering approach to building a great business and, with it, shareholder value. Instead, its approach holds innovation at its heart.
The Bear...
Soup may be good food, but frankly, I've never liked the stuff. I think it goes back to some early childhood trauma connected to Campbell's Tomato soup. Now, I'll happily feed on hot and sour soup at my favorite Thai place, and I'll occasionally throw down some lentil or broccoli soup with a sandwich at a restaurant on a cold day. But Campbell gets zero of my limited soup budget. That means that outside a random purchase of a jar of Prego spaghetti sauce, most of Campbell's business can be summed up for me as simply the aisle at the grocery store I don't bother to go down.
Results for last week's Ford Duel
|I can't make up my mind

NV-Governor: Gibbons' Comeback Cut Short
I was all set to write a blog post that said, "Jim Gibbons still has a chance!" But, recent events haven't been ...
I was all set to write a blog post that said, "Jim Gibbons still has a chance!" But, recent events haven't been kind to Nevada's embattled governor.
First, let me tell you what I had been thinking. A combination of personal woes and Nevada's miserable economy have made Gibbons one of the nation's least popular governors almost from the moment he was elected in 2006. For a long time, the main question wasn't whether Gibbons would win a second term. It was whether he could even last one term in office.
Gibbons faces Brian Sandoval, a popular former judge and former state attorney general, in the Republican primary. Since the time he entered the campaign, Sandoval has been the favorite in both the primary and the general election.
But, Sandoval's numbers have stagnated in the upper 30s in the three-way race (former North Las Vegas Mayor Michael Montandon is in single digits). A poll conducted last week showed Gibbons only trailing Sandoval 38%-32%. This isn't Andrew Cuomo against David Patterson. While Gibbons trails Rory Reid in the general election, Reid's last name and the possibility of a good Republican year would at least give the governor a chance.
Gibbons actually has a rationale for why he should be the Republican nominee. He's opposed all tax increases (though the legislature has overridden his vetoes), even with Nevada facing a gaping budget hole. Gibbons can make the case that he is the purest of fiscal conservatives.
Or, at least he could until recently. This year, Gibbons has proposed to take away tax exemptions from the mining industry. That might be a perfectly reasonable thing to do, especially given the challenges to balancing Nevada's budget right now. It also might very well undermine the rationale for Gibbons' candidacy, as the Las Vegas Sun explains:
The influential conservative group Americans for Tax Reform wrote letters to legislators this week, asking them to oppose what it called Gibbons' "massive tax increase" on mining. The group had been accusing the governor of violating its anti-tax pledge, which Gibbons has signed.
The political fallout for the governor was clear over the weekend on the Lincoln Day dinner circuit in rural Nevada, a crucial part of Gibbons' base. Republican crowds in mining communities objected to Gibbons' proposal to strip the industry of some tax deductions. In Battle Mountain, a party official shouted down Gibbons' surrogate in the middle of his campaign speech.
The surrogate, university system Regent Ron Knecht, revised Gibbons' message: The governor may have proposed new taxes -- but not nearly as many as he expects from the Democratic-controlled Legislature.
The tax issue isn't the only new headache for Gibbons. Many Nevadans no doubt would agree with Gibbons' case that his personal life isn't anyone else's business. That's why it's mystifying that when a reporter asked Gibbons whether a certain friend was accompanying him on a trip he didn't simply say that his personal life is no one else's business. Instead, he brazenly lied to the reported and cursed at him. This incident is getting a lot of attention.
Gibbons almost would have had to enjoy a perfect year to win reelection in a state with the nation's highest foreclosure rate and where the unemployment rate of 13% is second only to Michigan. At this point, Gibbons had better hope that Brian Sandoval has some deep, dark secret that nobody knows about.

Quick Guide17 Must-Try Fitness Workouts in Pictures
What about running and losing weight?
To my knowledge, there are no studies to show that runners lose more weight than individuals who do other types of exercise. However, running certainly does burn lots of calories, and if you're running regularly, you might decide not to eat as much figuring why do it if you're putting all that energy into running. But even if you ran a marathon every day, you wouldn't lose weight unless you consumed fewer calories than you burned. The bottom line to losing weight is burning more calories than you consume, no matter how much exercise you do.
What about running vs. walking for weight loss?
According to the laws of physics, you should burn the same number of calories whether you walk or run the same distance. However, there is recent research to show that running one mile burns approximately 30% more calories than walking one mile, and it's true whether you run outdoors or on a treadmill. The research is mixed, and so it's hard to know for sure if you'll burn more calories running than walking. My take on it is that it doesn't matter whether you walk or run during weight-loss efforts because you'll lose weight as long as you reduce your calories enough to burn more than you are consuming, no matter how much, or what type of exercise you do. What is important is that you maintain some type of exercise once you reach your goal weight, because it's generally accepted that exercise is the single best predictor of keeping your weight off. Whether you walk or run won't matter. The key is to do something.
What about running outdoors vs. a treadmill?
You'll get equally fit running on a treadmill or outdoors. In fact, many distance-running athletes use the treadmill to save their legs from the pounding of roadwork. But there is a slight difference in energy expenditure (calories burned) between the two; outdoor running burns slightly more calories than treadmill running at the same speed due to lack of air resistance on the treadmill. Researchers studying this phenomenon found that setting the treadmill at 1% elevation equals things out. I advise all of my clients to set the treadmill at 1% so that treadmill walking or running mimics outdoor exercise.


text: Building professionals need analytic tools to envision the performance of their designs, make sustainable decisions, and reduce the uncertainty of the outcome. The presentation is centered on an analysis framework that is based on per-pixel lighting information extracted from computer generated and digitally captured High Dynamic Range (HDR) images. The first part of the presentation focuses on the development of computational lighting analysis tools, techniques, and metrics. It provides an overview of the results of research projects completed over the past 15+ years. Particular emphasis is given to recent projects. The research on validation and applications of image based sky models in lighting simulations demonstrates the use of HDR fisheye images of the sky dome in lighting simulations in lieu of standard CIE skies. The results of the research challenge the appropriateness of current sky models, and demonstrate an affordable HDR photography based sky scanner technology to improve long term daylighting measurements with high resolution sky data. The second part of the presentation concentrates on human factors. The research on occupant preference and acceptance of luminance patterns utilizes HDR imaging and a repeated measures design methodology in an office environment. Existing luminance threshold methods are studied for their ability to explain luminance variability of participant assessments of 'preferred' and 'just disturbing' scenes under daylighting conditions. Per-pixel analysis tools, techniques, and metrics allow the evaluation of complex visual and numerical features of luminous environments with detail, flexibility, and rigor that is not feasible with traditional approaches. Applications and outcome of various research projects exemplify sustainable building practices that provide occupant satisfaction and productivity improvements, and energy savings.

the best place to put quarter skin seam
Hey all you radical dudes.
First things first. I've done a lot of reading, and have searched through the old threads on this board for quarter skins. I don't want to be That Guy that asks the same redundant question again. So if you are already aware of a good thread that answers this question, don't feel like you have to waste your time answering it yet again, just link me.
Now on to the business...
I have some aweful damage concealed with 1/2" of filler on the pass. side quarter. It's not repairable and the panel is so friendly you could probably get sex from it if you stood close enough (perhaps I should start standing closer).
I had a nightmare in replacing the full quarter on the driver's...so much that I gave up and took it in. Also replaced the tail light panel.
I want to try a skin on the pass side. I have a nice MIG that I'm decent with, not a pro, but not a beginner. I also will butt weld the panel in, not over lap. I also have an ever growing collection of body tools and some formal education on body work from the local tech school because I wanted to help my hobby.
I've read on Mustang Monthly that they put the seam on the top surface ( that is, the area between the body line and the trunk lid) rather than on the side of the car. It seems this would be much easier to conceal too, than a seam on the side of the car.
What have your experiences been? Thanks in advance. You guys are a cool bunch of dudes!
When I have replaced quarter skins I have always spliced them in just below the top style line, not sure what year mustang you are working with but if it's a 60's era car then the quarter has that sharp peak on the outer top edge. That peak provides a lot of strength and I would splice in 3/8 to 1/2 inch below that peak (on the outside) if I were doing the job.
You could also do an overlap seam at the top of the quarter and it would be easy to hide. With an overlap I would cut 3/4 to 1 inch below the top and overlap 3/8 inch.
I would be curious to hear if anyone has a different opinion on the best place to splice and why.
I'm with you Hemi, however going up over the top would be a nicer look on the inside. The problem I have with going over the top is will have to pull down the original upper section a little so your quarter isn't too high. But honestly I think it's six one, half a dozen the other. :D
After looking at the contour of the car more, I can't see how I want the seam to be on the top. I'd rather prefer to do a buttweld rather than an overlap, and I think I've got a good strategy to do it.
I need to wait for the next sale to buy the panel but I'm excited to start. The problem is I'm always excited to start this stuff in thinking about it, and it usually turns to hell within a matter of only a few hours. :evil:
I replaced a lot of these panels back in the day and I always lap welded just a1/2 to 1 in below the upper body line. I would trim off the old 1/4 panel at door post and butt weld just the frist in" or 2 right at the door opening so You dont end up with a door fit problem. Same goes for camaros.
Yep, it works like a dream. As far as Butt welding it, yes you can but it will add quite a bit of difficulty to the project. What is the overall expectation of the car? What is the condition of the rest of the car?
Don't let people scare you with the whole flange weld seams are a place for rust to start BS, the ENTIRE CAR is held together with these style welds! EVERY SINGLE SEAM on the ENTIRE CAR is a flange, lap style weld! One more isn't a big deal.
But yes, if this is a special car and you want it extra nice, a butt weld would be the way to go.
A full panel is always the way to go if possible, its less work and less filler and makes for a nicer job (less places to work body filler) IMO. If you must splice the panel I totally agree with using a body line for strength so there's less warping. Good luck with your project.
If you're going to butt weld it, you'll have to learn to take out the shrink that comes with the welding.
You'll also need to learn how to use a shrinking disc.
If in a couple hours things turn to stink, these are the two things you will need to understand and learn to get you out of trouble.
Pick up a couple of scrap pieces of sheet metal and weld them together by tacking only with the mig.
After they cool, you'll have to hammer on dolly to stretch all the shrunken metal out. When you do this, you will overstretch somewhere for sure. This is where the shrinking disc comes on.
Without learning this basic welding, stretching, shrinking, you will be exactly in the same spot you've been in before once again
no matter where you put the weld seam.
These 1'' welds were done and then the weld was stretched back to where it started with hammer on dolly. I did 1'' at a time so I knew where the warping problem came from.
The overall expectation of the car is to make it the nicest car I can, minimizing as many short cuts as possible and doing everything as right as possible. This also meant the floor pan was butt welded in rather than lap welded. The rest of the car is in good shape; the full left quarter has already been replaced, as well as the tail light panel. I've completely restored the front, and am using the original fenders.
If you flange lap weld, do you just do a series of plug welds? I've heard that the flanger will cause some distortion in the metal in areas where the body line curves, such as the area immediately beneath the quarter window on the Mustangs.
I don't want to do a full quarter again because getting everything aligned was such a pain. Of course since I haven't done a skin yet it's easy for me to say it will be easier.
Will you still get extensive shrinking that will need to be addressed even after doing a series of many small tack welds, hopping around the panel and allowing for natural cooling?
I don't notice a lot of distortion on the other things I weld (I do patch repairs as butt welds as well), but I've never had to do a long run on a big flat panel like this. And that is a very long ways to make a lot of tack welds.
I actually have the same question so I hope the OP won't mind me piggybacking on his question. I will say that my original preference in the past had been to butt weld in a quarter skin (full quarters are not available for my car). I've found it exceedingly difficulty to butt weld a seam and not have the seam pucker inward as the metal cools/shrinks. As previously mentioned you can get a nice result by hammer/dolly to stretch the shrinked metal back into shape. The problem I found is in quarter panel seams that extend forward of the wheel well. There's really no way to get behind the panel so therefore the seam can't be planished. I guess you just fill it in with filler.
Next time I do a skin, I'm gonna try lap welding. Not knowing much about, can anyone give us the basics. I assume that when you cut the original quarter out, you leave extra metal for the overlap. Flange the original metal with a pneumatic flanging tool. Is the skin held on just with a series of plug welds? How close should they be together? Then just finish with filler of choice?
If you have done the rest all in butt welds you are pretty well versed in them and should be able to continue and use a butt weld here. It sounds like you are doing a kick but restoration and it sounds like the car deserves more of the same. :D
You do NOT just plug weld along the flange seam, You still need to completely weld the seam or you WILL have "ghost" lines once you are all done with body and paint. A quality flange tool like I bought at Eastwood years ago (made from real American made ViceGrips) does a hell of a job with little distortion.
Personally I say forget the pneumatic flanger, as well as the pneumatic hole punch, i have preached here enough why I dislike them. But hand tools are almost always better, with very few exceptions, than pneumatic tools.
If you keep your welds small and ALLOW THEM TO COOL NATURALLY you can keep warpage down to a very small amount or not at all. If you cool them with air or water or something you WILL have warpage.
Butt welding is best for splices, but if a full panel is available for your car, that is by far the best way to go. This puts the welds at the factory locations, which gives you the best possible appearance with the least work.
I see that a lot,....going the full panel route. And I've already been that route on the driver's side. I ended up giving up and taking it in, but I was also replacing the tail light panel too. Just too many places not lining up right. I've never done a skin yet, but it's less places to have to line up. I can get a skin on sale for $83 with free shipping. It only cost me $50 after kicking in a gift card (I bought the skin today), so I'm out little if I trash the skin. Which, by the way, I don't intend to do.
Since the full weld still has to be made along the entire flange joint, I would assume it's not as prone to warpage since you're welding over a lot more metal at this point, as opposed to a butt junction?
Someone feel free to add recommendations or corrections to my strategy...
1. Carefully remove spot welds from all the necessary areas (door jamb, wheel house, tail light panel). I grind the spot welds out to keep the original mating surface intact.
2. Cut old panel out 2-3" below body line.
3. Tape along body line on new panel and cut about 1" below the line. The tape is spacer to maintain consistent distance. I might use a plasma cutter to make this cut so it's nice and clean.
4. Fit new panel and screw in place in door jamb, tail lamp panel, and wheel house.
5. Scribe along old panel where new panel meets it.
6. At this point I can attempt a flange seam, and if I bomb it I still have enough metal to go butt weld. Remove new panel.
7. Cut excess off old panel so the distance from the scribe line to the cut is the depth of the flanger throat.
8. Punch holes in new panel and reinstall. Plug welds every 6 inches? And then close the seam junction with hop scotched tack welds, allowing natural cooling. This means it'd probably take multiple attempts over the course of multiple days before I get the entire seam welded continuously.
The thing with my butt welds is they were never the prettiest, but they never had to be. They were always in inconspicuous areas where it didn't really matter. This is scary to me though :pain:
ooh I just thought of something else.
When I make the initial cut in the old metal, 2-3" down from the body line. If I just make that cut first, and leave the rest of the panel still attached (or screw it back if I already removed spot welds), is there any reason I can't put in my panel clamps and butt weld the old panel back together to practice my weld?
Sounds good to me.

Have you ever heard someone say the holidays are for kids? Well, they are wrong. The holidays are for kids…AND cats!
This time of year is full of interesting things to play with, explore and destroy. It's Cat Heaven!
I've been watching the shopping bags pile up in the corner of the bedroom, waiting for someone to play with them. Well, today was my day.
I peeked into one of the bags but it didn't look too interesting. But the larger bag did look intriguing, so I tried to climb into it. Whoops! The bag collapsed but made a lovely crunching sound!
Then, I climbed onto the dresser to determine if I could see more from that vantage point. Oh yeah! I shimmied down the dresser and into the bag….what fun! Tissue paper, crinkly stuff! Boxes! And, soft clothes to lay in. I rested for just a moment on a cozy sweater and then, like a mad man, attacked everything in the bag.
I was having so much fun that I didn't even notice the staff sitting up in bed, laughing hysterically.
I stopped my craziness and hopped out of the bag (smushing it as I climbed out of course). Then, I sat on the floor and casually groomed my left paw.
What? Oh, it's BREAKFAST time? Fabulous!
