From Filipino indistrial designer Kenneth Cobonpue, this architectural looking structure is the new Operetta pet lounge. The structure is made of polyethylene, nylon and steel with a leatherette pad and is sized perfectly for a cat.
Apparently, it's available from the uber-chic DC-based Asian modern design store Muléh, however it's not on their website yet. Give them a call if you really have to have one now.

Sweden's Annika Sorenstam shot a bogey-free four-under-par 68 yesterday to move into a tie for the lead with Americans Beth Daniel and Christie Kerr after two rounds of the wind-blown US LPGA Safeway Classic.
Daniel grabbed a four-stroke lead Friday with a 10-under 62. Trying for her second win in three months following an eight-year drought, the 46-year-old struggled with gusty winds and posted a one-over 73 that left her at nine-under 135.
The gusty winds blew Daniel's ball downhill at the 17th hole after pelting her with pine needles at the eighth hole. "Oh, my gosh. Right behind where that pin is on eight, there's one of those big fir trees, and it was blowing out little needles," she said. "I call them the helicopters."
Kerr also had trouble with the wind but had a three-under 69.
Australian Karrie Webb had a disastrous triple bogey on 17, scoring 75 to put her nine shots off the lead.
In San Antonio, American Tommy Armour is running away from the field at the Texas Open, while Australian Aaron Baddeley continues to fight back.
Armour birdied the last three holes of Friday's third round to finish off a seven-under-par 63. His third round of 64 or better has him at 21-under 189, holding a six-shot lead over Duffy Waldorf. "I've never shot 21-under in a tournament before," Armour said.
Baddeley, third after his sizzling first-round 62, shot a one-under 69 today to be tied in 23rd on nine under.
Baddeley had three birdies and two bogeys to be alongside countryman Scott Laycock, while Rod Pampling headed the rest of the Australian contingent but a long way back on 10-under 200.

AH - Fan Speed - How to determine
Now that I have finished the upgrade of the main trunk lines in the basement, I am trying to figure out how to determine what the right fan speed would be for my AH.
It is a fixed speed unit, which means by moving the the wires I can change from slow/med/high.
It is a 5 ton comfortmaker AH matched with a 5 ton Heat Pump. What other info would one need to determine the optimum fan speed?
I have monitoring setup in that I can tell the suction line temp, the liquid line temp, the return (input) air temp and the supply air temp after going through the AH.
Do you have the Mfg specs on the AH and HP. A basic 5 ton a/c will need 2000 cfm. If you have the blower curve info on the AH you can check the static pressure then look at what blower spped you are at and cross to the CFM. The best CFM is whatever the MFG says it should be for your condenser AH match up.
Only after proper CFM is set up can the A/C be properly charged.
Why was I thinking you had a Goodman.
Be nice to the DIYer Been.
Need to know the house sq ft first.
I could have sworn he said he had a Goodman in another thread.
He did and they were mismatched off the website he bought them from.
Yes I have a Goodman. Fourth one in the family. (All working great.)
No I did not buy it online. I bought it from a local dealer.
The AH is a 5 ton 12 seer unit
The Goodman is a 5 ton seer unit.
Background info can be found in these posts.
My bad.Sorry.
Sure I can whip up one of those for each room. :)
Sometimes you do what you have to do to get cool air....dumping some ice in that cooler would give a nice boost too. :)
So I am on a mission to figure it out myself so that it is done right.
:laughing::laughing::laughing: Your ok Andy.
You'll find Comfortmaker uses a different CFM on their heat pumps then what Goodman does.
So, you can't actually ever have proper air flow for it.
ou can download the specs for your Goodman outdoor unit you have, and see if you can match its rated performance.
Goodman includes the temp rise it shold have. But, that swith its rated matched coil.

you more than likely have a stuck valve.I used to work for a marina in mobile Alabama and we used to see this this time of year. Remove the valve cover (pretty easy on that eng). turn it over by hand and see which valves aren't moving. This is pretty common. Now for the repair, as long as the pistons and valves haven't gotten together and had a party you can use a few different methods to try and free it up. you say it will run right?? Well with the engine running and the breather off of the carb either pour in a quart(in order of my personal preference) 1) marvel mystery oil 2) automatic transmission fluid 3) "Sea foam" fuel additive. Start pouring it in fairly slowly and keep the rpm's around 2000 2500. (It's gonna smoke like a chimney.) When you get about halfway through the bottle start pouring it in faster, The engine may even die. That's O.K. as long as you get most of it down the carb. Now let it sit for a day or two. After a couple of days remove and clean the plugs you might even want to just go ahead and change them. With the plugs out spin the engine over (you may want to lay an old towel or pc of card board over the open spark plug holes to catch the spray of fluid). Now in the past I have just put the new plugs in and cranked it up and run the engine and within a few minutes of running the valves would start to move again and it would smooth out. If it won't free up you can remove the valve cover again and loosen the rocker arm and move it out of the way. You can either use a block of wood or a plastic deadblow hammer and gently tap the stuck valves down further and turn the engine over by hand and work the valves until all are free. reinstall the rockers and valve cover fire it up and see how it does.The reason this usually happens is most people just run some clean water through the foot and engine and pull the tarp over the boat for the winter. Well in a marine engine it is very important to either go out and run the engine for 30 min a month or remove the breather and slowly pour a pint bottle of marvel mystery oil down the carb while it's running and shut it off as soon as all of it is in. Then pull the tarp over it. you might have to remove the plugs at the beginning of the boating season and clean them,but I have found that they will usually crank just fine with out having to pull them. Hope this helps. BTW I have also done this with old cars that have sat up for a very long time too.Marvel Mystery oil ROCKS
just ask an old timer!!!! Brian

My Music
A.Ma Records, 2016
"[...] Gemini is direct and intimate and the listener can immediately feel Fabrizio's complete devotion to his instrument that clearly states the distinctiveness of his music through a personal sound that is, at the same time, delicate and solid, gentle and deep. The virtuosity of his instrument never clouds his melodic development and clarity of structure. The charm of his music cannot be denied and always unveils new surprises. This is the reason why Gemini marks a departure point in Fabrizio Savino's career, in that his capability of describing intense personal emotions continues to seduce us, ever waiting for his next surprise. [...]".
Alfa Music, 2012
"[...] Opening with Into My Mind we have that intimacy that borders on an ambient quality that allows Savino to paint lyrical portraits of tunes for the listeners imagination. The Persian release title Aram roughly translates to 'peace' or 'serenity' and is the perfect example of a harmonic exploratory for an artist to stretch out and find the lost chord, the missing progression, the melodic soul that completes not just the musician but the listener as well. A challenging recording where boundaries are pushed and comfort zones no longer exist. Melody move into a variety of odd meters and abstraction while never losing accessibility. [...]".
Brent Black, Critical Jazz
Metropolitan Prints
Alfa Music, 2009
"[...] What I immediately noticed about Fabrizio is a musical vision that let him use heterogeneous ingredients with good taste; something that he does very well because his composer aspects join naturally to that of instrumentalist. In the various cd tracks, supported by very good musicians to whom I give my compliments, Fabrizio mixes sounds and colors leaving out his influences filtrated by his own sensitivity. I suggest to listen to his cd. [...]".
Umberto Fiorentino, Italian Jazz Guitarist

"I absolutely love the design of this invitation! We've received so many compliments on these baptism invitations. Thank you Tiny Prints for another great order :)"
"I liked this card because it was rather simple and not too cheesy. Most of the recipients commented on how elegant and fun (the back adds a little whimsy) the card was. Because my parents are hosting the luncheon, we had to play around with the phrasing, I wish we could have added at the top of the card: John and Jane Doe invite you.... But we couldn't alter the original design/text. The card stock was nice and the printing was as expected. My ONLY complaint is that I think it is a little pricey for what it is."
"Very pretty card for our baby girls' baptism. Plenty of lines available to add the details for the reception, etc. I also loved that I could add a sweet picture of her onto the back of the card. My sister called as soon as she opened it from the mail and said how beautiful she thought it was. I am very happy with this purchase, a very simple and sweet invite."
"We ordered these for our son's baptism and they came out beautifully. The quality is excellent and having the back printed was a nice extra touch."
"I love the formality of this design and the different shades of blue for my baby boy's baptism. The only part of the design that I wasn't thrilled about was the polk-a-dot back, as it is definitely less formal than the front. While it did not keep me from ordering, I would have preferred a plain back or, in the alternative, even a pinstriped design would have been a better choice."

Check out this cake stand. It's perfect for serving up a spooky cake at a Halloween party. Four pointy witches shoes make the base, and fuzzy spiders dangle around the edge. Painted in Halloween-y orange, black, green, and purple.

Do you have an installed sprinkler system for your yard? This has absolutely nothing to do with this post, I'm just curious. I'm also extremely, extremely jealous of you if you do. I spent three hours this morning watering my flower beds and the yard. Everytime I do it, it's like I have to reinvent the wheel. I move the sprinklers an inch that way, an inch this way. Some important plant or bed is always getting missed. By 10 am, I am soaked, hot and sweaty, my day might as well be over with, I have had it.
After a morning of wrestling with the sprinklers, I deserve this. An incredibly quick and easy dessert. Hey dessert is not just for after dinner. There is nothing written in the rule books that says you can't have dessert at 10 AM. I don't know how authentic this is, but I don't care, it's good and it's easy. It comes from Everyday Food: Great Food Fast and you can also find it here.
Easy Tiramisu
Serves 6
3 tablespoons instant espresso powder
1 bar (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar
2 packages (3 ounces each) soft ladyfingers
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
1.In a medium bowl, mix espresso powder with 3 tablespoons boiling water until the espressor powder is dissolved. Add 1 1/2 cups cold water; set aside.
2.With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese with heavy cream and sugar until light and fluffy.
3.Spread a few tablespoons of cream-cheese mixture in the bottom of a 2-quart serving dish. Separate ladyfingers. One by one, dip a third of ladyfingers in espresso, then arrange in bottom of dish. Spread with a third of cream-cheese mixture. Repeat twice with remaining ladyfingers, espresso, and cream-cheese mixture (can be refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day).
4.Dust with cocoa just before serving.

Hello and welcome to The Sarcoma Alliance. My name is Suzanne Leider. I am the founder and president of the Alliance and an 8-year sarcoma survivor. My life with cancer began in 1992 when I was diagnosed with a synovial sarcoma in my right thigh.
When I was 25 I was a frequent jogger and one day noticed some tenderness in my right thigh. Not believing it was anything more than muscle strain, I dealt with the discomfort by cutting back on my running, stretching and taking an occasional Advil. The pain did not subside and a lump began to appear at the site of the pain. At the time I had just finished nursing school and was working my first job as a Registered Nurse. I knew in the back of my mind that I needed to have this lump checked, so after a month of procrastination I found an orthopedic surgeon and underwent some tests and procedures to find out what this mass could be. After many x-rays, aspiration attempts and a MRI I had the lump surgically biopsied. After agonizing days of waiting for my biopsy results I received a phone call from my surgeon urging me to make an appointment with a nearby Orthopedic Oncologist who would tell me about my "malignant" biopsy results.
Two weeks after my diagnosis I underwent surgery on my right thigh. I followed this up with a full course of radiation therapy, which I managed to do on my lunch break at work. I maintained a busy work and social schedule and physically I recovered quickly. Emotionally I was in uncharted territory and wrestled with strange and terrifying thoughts. My youthful visions of having my whole life ahead of me vanished forever. My views on life and a long future had been shattered and I needed to pick up the pieces and make sense of my new reality. With the support of family and friends I began the painful process of coping with life with cancer.
Since my primary diagnosis I have had four metastatic recurrences. After four years of living cancer-free, a lesion was found in my right lung on a routine follow-up x-ray. After much deliberation, research and soul searching I had a thoracotomy (surgery on my lung) to remove the lesion and followed that with four cycles of chemotherapy (2 Ifosfamide cycles and 2 Adriamycin cycles). Once again I was faced with the mental work of cancer and for the first time I really faced my own mortality.
Nine short months later I was experiencing terrifying and intense pain in my chest that woke me up in the night and was again diagnosed with metastatic disease. This time there were two tumors in the right pleura (the lining of my lung). I was told that due to the location and size of the tumors they were inoperable and my prognosis was grim. My physician and the hospital staff reassured me that they would keep me as comfortable as possible. However, I was not yet ready to give up the fight. Once again I delved into the research and actively sorted through my medical opinions. I chose high dose chemotherapy (Ifosfamide) and with much trepidation began four brutal months of treatment. The chemotherapy shrunk my tumors to an operable size and I underwent another thoracotomy to remove the residual tumor along with a rib, some lung tissue and some of my chest wall. The surgery was intensely painful but worth it…the cancer was 99% killed by the chemotherapy. I followed the surgery with 5 weeks of radiation therapy. After almost 6 months of debilitating fatigue and pain I felt stronger and returned to work part-time and began fulfilling a life dream of attending graduate school to become a nurse practitioner.
In December of 1998 and February of 1999 I had two more metastatic occurrences in my right chest and pleura. I underwent two more difficult surgeries, more chemotherapy and radiation. As I write I am disease free and enjoying a relatively calm period in my life. I have made the decision to seek complementary/integrative therapies to boost my immune system. I am using Chinese medicine, yoga and meditation to help quiet my mind, center myself, and live each day in a conscious purposeful way. In addition, my commitment to helping others with Sarcoma has brought new meaning and vigor into my life. I have made many valuable discoveries through my experiences with cancer. My life and relationships have taken on new meaning.
I tell my story not because I am the only one who struggles against cancer but because we need to share our experiences of living with cancer. Far too many people have similar and even more intense struggles with illness. I believe we can learn so much from one another. Through sharing we heal.
In closing, I would like to share two simple messages that can profoundly impact the life of a cancer patient. First, for those who have a diagnosis of cancer, maintain your follow-up appointments and tests. Until there is a cure, I believe that early detection is essential in the fight against cancer. Do not become complacent about follow-up testing and bring this up with your physician if nothing has been recommended for you. Secondly, never succumb to the belief that your life is on hold because you have cancer or that cancer defines who you are. Strive to live, experience and thrive in the midst of cancer!
After a 10 year struggle, Suzanne passed away in August 2002. She entered into a hospice program earlier that year and chose to "Strive to live, experience and thrive in the midst of cancer!" Her days were spent enjoying her favorite things: her garden, reading, listening to music, watching classic movies and spending time with beloved family and friends. Throughout her struggles with cancer, she also worked hard to build the foundation of this organization. Her dream was that the Sarcoma Alliance would continue to survive and grow for years to come. Suzanne's positive spirit and deep desire to help others with sarcoma continues to live on in the work of the Sarcoma Alliance.
You are not alone. Thank you for your support.

Delicious, yummy chicken, the flavor is so good. I did use more wine and water than the recipe called for as the chicken breast was quite thick. The tarragon and fennel was just right. DH said that this deserves at least 10 stars. The sauce was so yummy over noodles. I will be making this AGAIN.

A Conditional File Import
Hello Everyone,
I'm wondering if there's a way to do a conditional import of a file
into Mathematica. Say I wrote some code to process a lot of data and
it takes a long time to complete. After it's done, I save my results
by exporting to a text file. When I come back later (months
later...) to pick up where I left off, I'd like to avoid
inadvertently, and because of poor memory, running that long script
again if I already have the results on my hard drive (you would think
that I'd have the sense to check first, but no).
I was thinking of a script that would work something like this:
If there is a file X
import the file
[message] "The darn thing doesn't exist!"
Reprocess the raw data --- [message] "Better make some coffee."
End if

WASHINGTON (AP) — After more than a century, the Census Bureau is dropping its use of the word "Negro" to describe black Americans in surveys.
Instead of the term that came into use during the Jim Crow era of racial segregation, census forms will use the more modern labels "black" or "African-American."
Nicholas Jones is chief of the Census Bureau's racial statistics branch. He tells The Associated Press that the change will take effect next year, when the bureau distributes its annual American Community Survey to more than 3.5 million U.S. households.
According to Jones, months of public feedback and census research concluded that few black Americans still identify with being Negro, and many view the term as offensive and outdated.
The term Negro was first used in the census in 1900.

Hill Anxious to See What USF Is Made Of
By USF
Related Links
By TOM ZEBOLD
USF Senior Writer
TAMPA - New head coach Matt Hill and the USF men's tennis team started practice on Wednesday with just two days before the Bulls face top competition.
"It's perfect," Hill said.
Usually a small amount of prep times can worry a coach, but Hill is anxious to see how his players can perform in tough situations on the court. Hill gets just what he wants when USF competes at the Bedford Cup, hosted by the University of Florida, starting Friday in Gainesville.
"It's exactly what we need. It's a good tournament," he said. "They'll bump into some guys that are playing for a top-10 team. It will be great to see how they handle that pressure."
Hill said USF will use all eight of its players, and a ton of the talent returns from a Bulls squad that made the Big East tournament final last season. Juan Carlos Acuna Gerard and Lucas Marin-Salcedo are back for their senior year, along with junior Federico Sabogal, and sophomores Oliver Pramming, Ravi Patel and Guillermo De Vilchez.
Two new members on the team are Everth Dzib, a freshman that has junior world experience out of Mexico, and Joao Souza from Brazil.
Check back to GoUSFBulls.com each day throughout the weekend for a recap and complete results.

IT'S inane to continue to analyse the BJP's stunning victory rather than rejoice in optimism. A tidy transfer of power to a different party for the eighth time in 67 years of independence is a proud achievement many neighbouring countries would be envious of. Yet, there are rumblings. Not out of grudge, but out of a false sense of deceit—that 31 per cent of the vote sufficed to give the winner a 62 per cent (336 out of 543 seats) majority; that the winner allegedly got a backdoor entry, aided by the first-past-the-post (FPTP) system. It's possibly worthy to debate the pertinence of the FPTP system but not to cast aspersions on the quality of the BJP's victory. The FPTP system is a well-honed system that elicited a certain type of behaviour from voters, political parties, candidates and the Election Commission. It will be fallacious to suppose that a different system would have yielded a different result. The FPTP system is perhaps incongruous with India's plurality of identities. But it's specious to extend the logic from an incompatible electoral system to denying the BJP its moral victory.
Would a different system have produced different results? Is there a pattern over multiple elections of the current system disproportionately impacting one party? These are interesting questions in the debate on what is the 'right' electoral system for India.
There are four broad principles of electoral systems across the world, which have been adopted with modifications by different democracies. In the world's oldest democracy, the US, the need for a cohesive union of fractious states in the founding days of the republic led to the adoption of a one-size-fits-all methodology: irrespective of size, each state is allotted two seats in the Senate. In most European nations, the need to ensure appropriate representation of the diversity of the region led to the adoption of a proportional representation system. Perhaps it was the need for ease of electoral comprehension for a largely illiterate population that drove India's founding fathers to adopt the simplistic British FPTP system. To enumerate, the four ideologies are:
Past the half-mark: A winner is declared only if a candidate gets more than 50 per cent of the vote. If that does not happen, there'll be multiple rounds of election till there's a winner.
Proportional representation: Seats are allotted in proportion to the votes received by each party. If the BJP wins 30 per cent of the vote in Uttar Pradesh, it would receive 24 seats (30 per cent of the 80 seats in the state).
Winner takes all in a state: The US presidential electoral college system follows this principle. If a particular party wins a majority of votes in a particular state, it takes all seats in that state. So if the BJP wins the most votes in Uttar Pradesh, it will get all 80 seats.
The FPTP system: This is the system India follows, in which a simple majority determines the winner.
An interesting, albeit unscientific, exercise would be to observe how different the 2014 results would have been under each of the four systems, and more importantly, to deduce if there are any trends of the impact of different systems on the main alliances, the Congress-led UPA and the BJP-led NDA. The reason this would be unscientific is because it's misleadingly simplistic to make the calculations presuming that voter behaviour would not change under different systems. Also, it would be intellectually arrogant to try to mathematically model this change in human behaviour, much to the chagrin of many neo-classical economists. So, with the sole intention to observe any trends over time, this analysis shows how many seats the UPA and the NDA would have won under these four systems in each of the four elections since 1999. Data for all 543 constituencies were analysed and aggregated state-wise to calculate the seats won under the three systems other than FPTP.
Whatever the electoral system, it would have turned up the same winners—but their tallies would change.
The most important observation is that under all systems, in each of the four elections, the victor is the same: NDA in 1999 and 2014, UPA in 2004 and 2009. This lends credence to the notion that the potential flaws of the FPTP are a mere alibi. The other observation is that a majority of the winners in each election secure less than 50 per cent voteshare. But the trend clearly shows that the BJP traditionally wins more seats with more than 50 per cent voteshare than the Congress. On average, the BJP wins 40 per cent of its seats with a clear majority, the Congress 30 per cent. This indicates a higher quality of electoral victory for the BJP. Additionally, regional parties have a far lower winning percentages of seats with greater than 50 per cent voteshare than the national parties. This reinforces the theory that regional parties generally don't muster a clear majority in their wins.
The most striking difference turns up in the proportional voteshare system. The Congress has a steady sizeable voteshare in most states, which however does not translate into seats in the FPTP system. In the 2014 elections, the proportional system would have given the UPA 130 seats instead of its current tally of 59; and the NDA would have got 210 seats instead of the current 336. Also, the BSP, with no seats now, would have got 23; the SP (five now) would have got 18; the Left (nine now) would have got 16; the YSR Congress (nine now) would have got 12; the AAP (four now) would have got 11; the DMK (nil now) would got nine; and the JD(U) (two now) would have got seven.
This is understandable as the diversity of the nation is manifested through various regional or identity-based parties. It's also evident that, in a plural society like India, a proportional system will further encourage division of the national vote and spur the rise of regional parties. On average, under the proportional system, the Congress would have won 130 per cent of its actual seats and the BJP 80 per cent. That is, the Congress would have won more seats, the BJP less. The winner-takes-all system throws up no surprises: the winners only consolidate their victory even further. The chart shows how very little separates the two national parties in winnability under the different systems. The only outlier is the UPA potentially garnering more than double its 2014 tally under the proportional system.
Identity plays an inordinately determinant role in most democracies. In democracies where there are identities galore, as in India, parties tend to lean on identity politics even more. In a diverse democracy such as ours, the FPTP system incentivises parties to focus as much (or more) on splitting an opponent's vote as on getting votes. A proportional system exaggerates this motivation to enable capitalising on identity votebanks. The argument that this system is a truer representation of plurality is perhaps valid. But it carries with it a big risk of divisive politics. Choosing the right electoral system for a country is incredibly complicated. The current system may not be perfect but it's not evident that the alternatives are obvious choices.
By Praveen Chakravarty with Abhishek Bhattacharya
(The writer is founding trustee of IndiaSpend, India's first non-profit, data journalism initiative.)
What is food for goose is not the same for the gander.The vanquished's most desired pill of proportional representation, will be bitter to the winner. The mood inside and outside North Block is wholly different. We are comfortable, & rather used to this anamony and talk about it only when curtains of elections are dropped. The campaign to implement PR will gain traction, if the social activists are highly serious about it. The score of 31 means demotion in the studies, though contrarily ensures a top job in the centre. A leader, though not the choice of 69% of Indians, may well be anointed.
Honestly cannot recall the last time there was so much debate in the media about the pitfalls of the first past the post system, which allows a party that has received less than half of the popular vote to rule the country. We must bring in proportional representation.
I would like Gopal Gandhi and many others like him who have advanced the specious argument that 69 per cent of the people did NOT vote for Modi to rule, to explain whether the ENTIRE country voted for Sonia to rule by proxy through her dormant appointee Manmohan in 2004, when her party had only 145 seats to the BJP's 138. The writer must be complimented for this presentation. By advancing such pleas, which are only self seeking, self serving and meant to apply some salve on their own bleeding party, Congress is only making a mockery of the process of elections adopted in this country, though it would be equally adept at twisting the same process to its glory when it suits Congress to do so.
The secularists who swear by democracy day and night find it hard to digest the verdict given by the electorate. They had no problem with first past the post system when it resulted in power to the family. BJP won fair and square. Just accept and stop moaning. It is very boring. Here are some facts. NDA got 38.5% of the vote share not 31%. 31% was BJP's vote share based on the seats BJP contested. BJP had not contested 543 seats, in fact it had contested many fewer than Congress. If the BJP had contested all 543 seats, it's vote share would have been considerably higher. I would guess at least 35% or perhaps higher.
But the self proclaimed "intellectuals" from the secular factory have never been known to let facts get in the way of their God given right to pontificate to the lesser mortals.
Very good article. I am surprised how it found its way to Outlook.

The Times has issued a good article today, and it has contacted an insider, who has told them how the new Newcastle will be managed, and what type of players the club will be after.
Mike Ashley – no debts at Newcastle and he'll get more involved
It's a very good article, as usual, by the excellent George Caulkin, who is one of the best writers on Newcastle.
However, there's not too much new news there for Newcastle fans, that we haven't worked out already.
Mike inherited almost £100M of debt, which he was not fully aware of, when he bought the club last summer.
He had Chairman Chris Mort pay that off last year, but the wage bill has increased by over 30% in the last two years to around £72M. It increased by £9M when we recruited our new players last summer.
Yet the team were still hopeless overall, and finished with their worst points total ever in the Premier league – 43 points – so something isn't right.
Newcastle will now be run far more like a real business by Ashley's executive team, and Mike will take a more hands-on approach, especially in the transfer market.
There will also be a huge emphasis on youth, which Chris Mort set up over the last year.
Mike Ashley is also keen to get value from the wages he pays his players, which he hardly saw in his first season at the club, due to both injuries and poor form.
Many players on huge wages last season were hardly available because of injuries, and these included Emre, Carr and Viduka.
It's interesting that Viduka is the only player still at the club for next season.
The Times has been talking to an insider, who made this comment to them:
"The determination is to build a team, rather than simply buy big names,â€
"The desire is for a young, hungry squad which will stay together for the good of Newcastle for years to come, rather than for just a season or two.â€
The change in approach has been easy to see with Newcastle focused on multiple teenagers and also on the younger, not always fully established stars, like 22 year-old Luka Modric, 21 year-old left sided midfielder Arda Turan and 22 year old French striker Bafe Gomis.
That seems to be the age range Newcastle are targeting specifically, but we will still need one or two experienced players brought in during the summer, who are already at their full potential, if we are to be able to compete for 5th place next season, which is our stated target.
Dennis Wise is the executive responsible for recruitment, and that is a key job that carries with it a huge salary, but also a big responsibility to recruit top players.
If he is not able to do that, we don't think Dennis will last too long in the job, it's that important to the club.
Wise has brought in five excellent teenagers, but many of them were already being tracked by the club, before Dennis arrived in January.
15 year-old whiz kid Aaron Spear from Plymouth Argyle, could be out next capture at the teenager level, and he is still very willing to join Newcastle, even though Arsenal are now interested in the youngster.
One of our sources claims to be friends with the youngster in Plymouth, and has told us that Aaron does not want to join Arsenal, and is only too happy to come to Tyneside.
We'll see if that's true – very shortly.
The key to Keegan and Wise working together is to ensure that Keegan is continually kept informed on everything happening in the recruitment area.
And Keegan has the final decision on which players can leave and which are acquired by the club.
He is helped big time in that area by Dennis Wise, who is looking around full-time for other players and youngsters that Kevin will not know about.
Kevin's job is to manage the side and train and coach them to success, and doesn't have to go and search out players.
We assume Kevin has already bought into the young player recruitment process.
Mike Ashley, as we reported earlier in the week is now ready to be more involved at the club, and will work closely with Derek Llambias, our new Managing Director at the club, which we assume is a CEO type role.
We think this strategy is a viable approach for the club – and at least it's a plan, which we never had under the haphazard structure that Freddy Shepherd presided over.
The team will be a young side, but if we bring in the right youngsters and a little added experience, we can soon be one of the top clubs again.
We are still confident of that – that's our view – and we should give the new team, and the new management structure, a chance.
Comments welcome.

How to build a local economyBy
On the other side of the state from Youngstown, where a business incubator is helping to stave off the worst effects of the declining industrial economy, Wilmington, Ohio, is trying to figure out what happens after 8,000 DHL jobs disappear. This AP story outlines their creative answer with a three-pronged strategy:
- Shop at local stores to keep money from leaving the economy
- Grow food to save money and relieve dependence on food banks
- Weatherize homes to cut energy bills and put people to work
Local commerce and green jobs are an appealing solution to the problems facing places like Youngstown and Wilmington. The new stimulus bill has $11 billion to weatherize low-income homes. The campaign in Wilmington hopes to use $30 million of it to create 1,300 jobs making 10,000 homes more energy efficient. The program, Energize Clinton County, is being launched by two locals who are delaying the Peace Corps to work at home.
Will it work? Even if all those jobs are created, it's still a fraction of the number that will be lost when the DHL hub closes. As I said below, the challenges in this economy are tremendous. But it seems clear that a local economy based on a broad Web of small and mid-sized businesses in different industries is more resilient than one dependent on luring a handful of large employers — and gambling that they stick around. So the question for entrepreneurs and communities alike: How do you create the conditions where those diverse local economies can grow, particularly in places like the Rust Belt that may suffer the worst of this crisis?

Gene building a custom 1949 Dodge Power Wagon
Well, that is me. I am building a 1949 Dodge Power Wagon. Putting a 3.9L Turbo Diesel in it (ISBe170). Has a NV4500HD 5 speed, and a NP205 gear drive transfer case with a custom twin stick. Has a GM 14 Bolt rear axle with 4.10 gears, and a Dana 44 front axle with 4.09's. Has 38" Michelin tires. Has a 2003 Dodge truck rack and pinion for power steering. Looking for pedals now, and am trying to figure out a new fuel tank/pump system for it. Did I mention it is a custom 4 door Crew Cab as well? Thanks, Gene

On 21st July 2012, the season DID 1 star Siddhesh joined Jeet of DID lil masters 2 from Neerav Ke Ninja. Together both Siddhesh & Jeet rocked the stage with their power packed performance.
They danced on a remix which was composed of some lovely songs of the past along with some modern touches. Their coordination was superb with perfect expressions.
It was a lively act which brought smiles on everyone's faces. The execution and timing of steps was perfect.
At the end of the performance Geeta Kapoor was unable to hold her smile. She praised the choreography and performance of the participants. She appreciated Siddhash's expressions but was particularly more impressed with Jeet.
Master Marzi liked the act and gave positive reviews. He complemented Jeet by saying that when he will get older he will surly become a star performer.
Grand master Mithun Da was happy and looked impressed. He appreciated Siddhesh's presence and praised the overall performance. He stood up and saluted both of them.

The German Gods of electronic music, Kraftwerk have been electronica pioneers and flag-bearers since the late 70s and show no signs of slowing down. Songs like 'The Model' (a no 1 UK single), 'Trans-Europe Express', 'The Robots' and 'Tour De France' inspired a generation of bedroom pioneers to pick up their keyboards and play. Without them, modern dance music (ambient, techno and trance) would be a far darker place - if it were there at all.

"We send out coffee gift cards to my husbands clients each year and these cards were perfect. I'm able to attach the gift cards to the back of this card. We upgraded the paper and it's beautiful. My only suggestion would be to use a navy print color for the gold strip on the front of the card. I used the suggested white and it is difficult to see!"
"For the price, these were perfect. It would have cost me significantly more to custom design my own holiday stationary with the same quality paper. Even when I opted for upgrades like the shimmery paper, metallic envelopes and corner cuts, it was still cheaper than custom printing my own stuff. My logo was printed in full color and looks great. The only thing I don't like is that they have the "tinyprints" trademark on the back of every card. I wish they would offer an option to have that removed. If you're paying for the product, why would you pay for them to have free advertising on your paid item?"
"I was very pleased with the quality of this product. Excellent paper on card and envelope . Design and print were also outstanding. Very pleased."
"Of the three samples we orderd for holiday cards this year, this is the card we selected. After years of sending more traditional cards, this one has a fresh, artistic look and the paper has a pleasing texture and finish."
"I LOVE this card! It is the perfect one-sided card, it is beautiful, simple, artistic, elegant. I ordered half a dozen samples and this was immediately one of my favorites and is the one that I am ordering!"

Our 2 ½ " round speedometer combines all of the functions of multiple gauges and indicators in a compact flat panel package with all electronics onboard (no external control box).
With eye-catching violet ax graphics and show quality chrome this speedometer has a 1 1/4" t-bar mount bracket.
Features a back-lit overlay and super-bright display technology for superior daytime visibility while a built in daylight sensor automatically dims the display for optimum nighttime readability.
An on-screen push button allows you to display selected readings on the 3-digit Display – Easily navigate between Speed, Tachometer (RPM x 10), Odometer, Tripometer, or Battery Voltage read outs.
Clear, easy-to-read indicator lights include High Beam, Right and Left Turn Signals, Low Oil Pressure, Neutral and Service Engine Light.
Calibration is done with an on-screen button using a known distance such as a measured mile/kilometer. (We do not recommend using highway mile markers as they may not be exact)
This instrument requires a transmission mounted speed sensor (or like device) and also a digital tachometer trigger wire from your electronic ignition module. If you are installing this device on a stock bike with a tach wire be sure the wire provided DOES NOT run to the negative side of the coil! Check for wire color and continuity at both locations (tach and coil) to determine if the tach wire is connected to the coil. Improper connection of this wire will burn out the tach input and void your warranty!
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the J850 data bus used for communication between the instrument cluster and the turn signal/security module this speedometer will not work on 2004/later modules.

Scope and Content Note
The records of the Lakeland Downtown Development Authority (LDDA) were transferred to the Special Collections Unit of the Lakeland Public Library in early 2003, with an additional transfer in 2004. The records are in generally good condition and were in no particular order when received. The records provide a comprehensive overview of the agency since its inception.
The LDDA was created by the "Lakeland Downtown Development Authority Act" enacted by the Florida State Legislature in 1977 and amended in 1978. The Lakeland City Commission adopted Ordinance 2046 on September 19, 1977 establishing the boundaries of the Lakeland Downtown Development Authority Area, which were expanded in 1984.
Property owners within the area voted to make the area a Special Downtown Development Authority Tax District in 1978. The City Commission adopted Ordinance 2155 on November 19, 1979, designating the LDDA as the Community Redevelopment Agency for the City of Lakeland. A downtown development plan was adopted by the City Commission in 1980, and in 1981 it issued a development order "for the Lakeland Downtown Revitalization Plan."
LDDA is charged with recommending projects, plans, and developers to the City Commission. It is empowered to option, buy, sell or lease real estate, and arrange financing to support and stimulate private projects authorized by the development plan with the approval of the City Commission. With the help of City Administration and community organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce, Historic Lakeland, and the Historic Preservation Board, LDDA has revitalized Lakeland's downtown in the past twenty years.
After processing the records were organized into ten series as follows: Subject Files, Financial Records, Reports and Studies, Newsletters, Photographs and Videos, Scrapbooks, Plans, Minutes, Resolutions and Correspondence.
Series I, Subject Files, 1928-2002, contains the administrative files of the agency. Topics include the many development projects in which the agency was involved and the types of records include correspondence, agenda and minutes of meetings, brochures, grant proposals,reports, copies of leases, property descriptions and completed forms.
Series II, Reports and Studies, 1975-1991, consists of reports commissioned by the LDDA on various topics relating to the development of Lakeland's downtown business district. Topics of the reports include urban design plans, urban blight, market analyses and evaluations, traffic flow and community redevelopment.
Series III, Newsletters, 1988-1998, contains the agency's bimonthly and, later, monthly newsletter.
Series IV, Photographs and Videos, 1961-1995, consists of photographs and videotapes of LDDA board meetings and activities, as well as aerial photos of downtown Lakeland before and after the creation of the LDDA.
Series V, Scrapbooks, 1977-1996, consists of scrapbooks of newspaper clippings documenting the activities of the LDDA.
Series VI, Resolutions, 1977-1998, consists of Resolutions and a few Ordinances pertaining to the Lakeland Downtown Development Authority.
Series VII, Plans, 1946-92, consists of architectural blueprints, drawings and plat maps of Lakeland historic neighborhoods and buildings. Included in this series are the Lake Mirror Promenade, Lemon Street Promenade, Munn Park, the Marble Arcade and other downtown sites and plat maps of the South Lake Morton Neighborhood.
Series VIII, Minutes, 1977-2009, consists of agendas, minutes and accompanying reports to the LDDA Board meetings from December 1977 through 2009.
Series IX, Financial Records, 1977-2009, documents the fiscal activities of the LDDA and includes audit reports, budgets, financial statements and copies of revenue bonds issued by the agency.
Series X, Correspondence, 1987-2001, includes copies of letters, memos and faxes from the Executive Director and originals to the Director about LDDA activities.
There are 36 linear feet of records.
