shooting nails through 2x4s into concrete
i have a remington powder-actuated nail gun for fastening 2x4 into concrete.
Q1: which size nails should i use (3.5 in perhaps) ?
Q2: which strength ammunition should i use (1-6) ?
bonus Q: if the vertical 2x4s are called studs, what do you call the horizontal ones that get fastened to the floor ?
- a -
Sill Plate... don't know about the nails or the power setting.
2.5 to 3.5 will suffice....red powder loads, be sure to get the pins with washers installed. A bead of adhesive helps seal the sill, also.
Top = top plate
Bottom = bottom sill plate, or sole plate
Good luck on your project.
If the concrete is well cured, requiring the use of red loads ( #5 or #6 depending on manufacturer/style/caliber ), as in most remodeling scenarios, the use of the washered pins is recommended, and in fact required in some areas, even in new construction..........but then I can only refer to Southern Building Code here in Texas for recommendations, along with 42 years experience in the building trades.........didn't see any reference to using PT.........just 2X
of course, PT
required in my municipality.
- a -
.that being the case, absolutely agree with using coated pins.....

Tasty beef recipes from Food & Wine magazine.
Grilled Hanger Steak with Garlic-Brandy ButterPair this savory delight with roasted potatoes and a small green salad. Add a glass of red wine for a fantastic dinner.
Beef Shank Sauce Over PolentaThis beef sauce is so appetizing, you'll have to resist eating it straight from the pot. Serve over polenta or pasta with some crusty bread for sopping up every last drop.
Sweet-and-Salty Korean Barbecued Short RibsYou'll love these thinly sliced short ribs, known as kalbi in Korea; they're marinated overnight in a garlic, soy and sugar mixture, then quickly grilled, so they're charred all over.
Chicken-Fried Steak with Redeye Curry GravyServe this outstanding, crispy fried steak with a richly flavored gravy spiked with curry powder, coffee and Sriracha chile sauce.
Fajitas with Roast BeefWrap up tender beef and peppers in a crispy tortilla, topped with a little salsa, cilantro and sour cream.
Quick Beef StroganoffServe tender beef and cremini mushrooms over buttery egg noodles in this comforting recipe.
Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Ancho-Jalapeńo ButterThere are bigger cuts of beef, but none feeds so many people so quickly. Serve sliced tenderloin alongside grilled bread smeared with chile butter.
Vaca Frita: Crispy BeefThis recipe for vaca frita ("fried cow") is a close cousin of Cuba's famous ropa vieja, stewed shredded beef in tomato sauce. The beef for vaca frita, however, is marinated in lime, garlic and salt, then seared until crispy. The key to achieving the perfect texture is to cook the beef in small batches, so it sautés rather than steams.
Beef Tenderloin with Parmesan-Prosciutto CrispsThe inspiration for this crust was the Italian cheese wafer frico, made by baking or frying shredded cheese until crisp.
Grilled Flank Steak with Corn, Tomato and Asparagus SaladServe this dish in spring and summer to showcase the Pacific Northwest's iconic Walla Walla onions and morel mushrooms.
Veal Scallopine with Charred Cherry Tomato SaladIn this faster version of a steak salad, charred tomatoes add their warm, tangy juices to an arugula salad served alongside quick-grilled veal scallopine.
Grilled Porterhouse Steak with Summer VegetablesThis juicy steak is best served along grilled or roasted summer veggies, but feel free to substitute vegetables are in season.

11 yr old Girl Escapes Being Lured Into a Man's Van
Issues of life and death can sometimes hang on a snap decision. Those snap decisions are sometimes made by children. It helps when those children have been prepared to make the right choice.
As a result of the choice made by one girl from Northwest Gainesville, police are searching for a man who tried to lure her into his van. As word spreads in the neighborhood where it seems an abduction almost took place Monday afternoon, people are on the lookout for a white van that may have been trolling for a victim in the Hampton Court Apartment complex.
But police couldn't find the van or the man--described as white in his fifties or sixties wearing a gray shirt and black ski cap with gray hair and a gray beard. Police are calling this a suspicious incident and are looking for the man and his white van.
Residents of the neighborhood plan to organize a crime watch group.

* French 2011 autumn: 2nd hottest since 1900
* Nuclear plants use water to cool their reactors
* Chooz plant already forced to stop in July due to weather
PARIS, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Dry weather conditions are starting to hit output at France's nuclear reactors with EDF forced to stop one reactor in northern France to protect river flows, EDF said on Monday.
France, the European Union's biggest power exporter, this year experienced its driest March-May spring period in 50 years and its hottest since 1900. While rain fell over the summer, France experienced another dry bout this autumn.
Autumn 2011 was the second hottest since the start of the 20th century and rainfall in October was 45 percent lower than average, according to French weather forecaster Meteo France.
Nuclear plants use water to cool their reactors. French power producer EDF, which operates the country's 58 reactors, is not allowed to keep reactors operating if water temperatures rise beyond a set level or if flows fall below authorised limits.
A spokesman at EDF's Chooz nuclear plant, located close to the Belgian border, said the utility had not restarted the 1,450-megawatt reactor 1 as planned on November 28 to safeguard minimum river flows.
"There is an agreement between France and Belgium whereby France owes Belgium a minimum of 20 cubic metre per second on a 12-day average," the spokesman said. Continued...

FS: Brand New Ac-Schnitzer Type II wheels (VERY CHEAP)
I bought these wheels for my 540i but I did not get the chance to put it on. I had to sell the 540i for the Cayenne S. So this set is brand new, never been used and in perfect condition.
It fits the old 5 series and also the new one, same offset
19x8.5 Front (offset:15) P700 235/35/19
19x9.5 Rear (offset:21.5) P700 265/30/19
I have some photos but I do not know how to upload them.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh best rims ever for the E39! I love these rims so much that I would consider getting a 540 just to get these wheels
$2700 with tires, no shipping fee yet :)
It can fit the new 5 series too.
Is there a way to fit these on my M3? I think the rears will fit but the fronts have a different offset.
I am not very sure with this, I think the offset is different and I don't think it fits.
still for sale :)

What's the next MMA? Full contact sword and armor combat
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a time where wars were fought with armor and swords? Good news! You do. There's a growing sport called the Armored Combat League, which is pretty much MMA with swords, axes and armor. Full contact. With a friggin' sword. At first I thought, "There's no way this takes off," but then rethought, "I would watch the hell out of this if it was on TV." Check it out. These dudes are insane.

You can try using rubbing compound (automotive) applied with a rag and rubbed vigorously. I would not try anything more than that as it might give the appearance that you are trying to remove the serial number.
Your other choices are "0000" steel wool, polishing compound (automotive), or toothpaste.
Toothpaste is the least abrasive and probably won't do much.
Ditto for polishing compound.
The steel wool in 0000 may make the surface look over-shiny.
A light application of "wet or dry" 600 or 1200 grit will be more aggressive. Use with water or oil. Use the one that matches the finish on your gun most accurately. The 600 will look more like satin; the 1200 will look more like a mirror.
I would not use a Dremel tool or other tool as it will take off too much material.

Jelena Jankovic was being written off as a force in women's tennis at the start of this year but the former world number one has defied the odds to end the season back in the world's top ten.
Jankovic was especially delighted to qualify for the end of season WTA Championships once again having missed the end of season bonanza for the past few years.
"It's very exciting for me to be back in the Championships," she said.
"It's been a great journey, making it to the Championships. I have worked very hard since the beginning of the year. I got injured in Australia, tore my muscle, and couldn't train for three weeks. After that, I called my brother and I started working with him, and he told me from the beginning that his goal is to bring me back to top 10 and to bring me back to the top."
Jankovic is one of the hardest working players on the tour and she achieved that dream with some strong results in Asia last month, making the final of the WTA Premier event in Beijing.
"I got new motivation after my brother became involved and it gives me great satisfaction that I was able to make it here and that all that hard work has paid off. I'm very happy," she said.
Some may wonder whether this season has been even sweeter than 2008 when Jankovic became world number one for the first time.
"I think all these achievements are different and special in their own way," she said. "Achieving the No. 1 ranking in 2008 was very special, a dream come true. I spent I think five years in the top 10, consecutive years, but once you have some difficulties it's tough. I've had a lot of injuries the last two years, and I haven't been able to train properly and, as time went on, my confidence was falling and I didn't feel great with my game, with what I was doing on the court. So it was time for me to make some changes, to make a difference. I was able to do that. I'm very proud of myself and my team, that I was able to make that step forward."

Census shows big jump in interracial couples
Percentage of households with interracial or interethnic (opposite-sex) marriages.
Interracial partnering across the USA has reached new levels, according to 2010 Census data released Wednesday that reflect sharp increases in the percentages of people of different races who are married or live together.
Among opposite-sex married couples, one in 10 (5.4 million couples) are interracial, a 28% jump since 2000. In 2010, 18% of heterosexual unmarried couples were of different races (1.2 million couples) and 21% of same-sex couples (133,477 couples) were mixed.
The data show "we're becoming much more of an integrated, multiracial society," says demographer William Frey of the Brookings Institution.
Says sociologist Dan Lichter of Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., "This is a movement toward a post-racial society, but most social scientists would agree we're a long way from a colorblind or post-racial society.
"Race is still a category that separates and divides us," but "this might be evidence that some of the historical boundaries that separate the races are breaking down," Lichter says.
Christelyn Karazin, 38, of Temecula, Calif., on Friday celebrates the 10th anniversary of her marriage to Michael Karazin, 39. She is black; he is white.
She says the Internet has allowed more people of different races to interact. She and her husband, who met online, "would never have met" otherwise. "He's from Westport, Conn. His father is a judge. My parents are from the country in Texas. My mom picked cotton."
Other trends in households from 2000 to 2010:
•Non-family households rose 16% (34 million to 39 million).
•Households with just one person increased from 25.8% to 26.7%; among cities with 100,000 or more people, Atlanta and Washington had the highest percentage of one-person households, both 44%.
•Unmarried-partner households increased from 5.5 million to 7.7 million.
•Households with three or more generations rose from 3.9 million to 5.1 million; 9% of households in Hawaii were multigenerational, the highest percentage of any state.

Junior Justin Jackson stole the show of a 62-54 victory against Rutgers on Wednesday with acrobatic saves, thundering blocks and energy nobody else on the floor could replicate. If this breakout becomes a trend, his fervor pushes the UC defense to the next level.
CINCINNATI -- For a moment, Justin Jackson disappeared. Not theoretically, as in from the offensive rhythm or from the rotation. Rather, from view. Of most everyone.
In a second attempt to improbably save a ball off a rebound, he ended up somewhere between the hallway leading to the visitor's locker room and Nippert Stadium.
As his teammates recovered to retain a valuable possession late in the 62-54 victory against Rutgers on Wednesday night Jackson finally emerged, trotting out from deep behind the stands with a smile stretching ear to ear.
This player who trends for #MeanFace ironically plays his best glowing with happiness. So do the Bearcats. In a sport now gauged by advanced metrics of every pass, shot, dribble and move, the value of energy doesn't register in percentages or shot charts. As Jackson and the Bearcats know, energy the junior provides not only affects the game, it changes it. For much of this season the effect of his shot-blocking, ball-saving, rebound-grabbing, mean-facing mentality fell to the background.
Not Wednesday, though.
"I'd say today he played the best game ---" Sean Kilpatrick began to say in the postgame media room, before Jackson broke in to finish the sentence himself.
"All year," Jackson said.
Can't deny the self-assessment. Jackson finished with seven points, seven rebounds, six blocks, three assists and one steal. His 26 minutes were the most since Wright State and the blocks a season high, one short of his career high of seven set against Marquette last year.
"He got back to the old Justin Jackson and that's blocking everything, saving everything, jumping in the crowd and being the energy guy that we need him to be," Sean Kilpatrick said. "That's something he's been working on and today it finally showed."
When Jackson plays with the intensity and effectiveness of Wednesday night the Bearcats defense morphs from excellent to elite. It was a staple of last year's Sweet Sixteen run and needs to be a staple if UC plans on returning.
So much of Jackson's game revolves around channeling attitude. An exciting block like his patented trailing rejection off the backboard on a fast break or sending a shot near Tony Pike sitting in the second row brings out the mean face and alters not only his mood but the atmosphere surrounding him.
The Rutgers win felt like a breakthrough moment in the season for a player who suffered through a demotion from the starting lineup and not playing a minute against Notre Dame.
"He was tremendous," said Mick Cronin, who gave Jackson his first start since the benching. "He got his teammates fired up, he obviously got the crowd into it. He earned a start the last couple days in practice. He was great in practice; I knew he was going to play well tonight. It's not that complicated in basketball. You can tell when guys are focused. He's hungry to get more minutes."
Cronin doesn't buy the concept Jackson played with more energy Wednesday than he has this season. Rather, the cumulative factor of staying out of foul trouble that so often plagues him. Truth, certainly. Yet, outsiders clamor for the nostalgia of a Jackson they remember who stole the hearts of a fan base that appreciates hustle and scrap more than skill or science.
This UC team clamored for that. Jackson, himself, clamored for it.
"(It came from) inside of me," Jackson said. "Just building up in me, it just came out, I hope it just stays out. That's my game. Just be the energy guy and do all the little things and do all the dirty work. "
Jackson led the way, but Kilpatrick and a cast of the usual suspects finished the job Wednesday. Rutgers coach Mike Rice said Kilpatrick "showed what an All-Conference Big East player looks like" en route to 19 points. The Bearcats found ways to run in transition much more after halftime and rode what's become a standard second-half surge for this team.
The push began with a defense that allowed only one field goal between 8:51 remaining and under a minute when the game was all but salted away. Forced turnovers and blocked shots played like a skipping CD.
At the center of it all was Jackson and his contagious shot-blocking that leaves the crowd smiling and cheering back at him.
What does it feel like to block a shot and feel the energy rise inside himself and 11,024 inside Fifth Third Arena? Hard to explain, he says.
When pressed to give an attempt, Jackson slyly slipped out his comparison.
"It's just like getting a new pair of shoes," he said.
Only, when Jackson gets a new pair of shoes, everyone on the team gets a new pair of shoes. Suddenly, the Bearcats bounce forward with a fresh hop in their step.

Whether masked in peanut butter or in a pill pocket, there are plenty of tricks to getting a pet to take his meds. In addition to pills to treat health issues, some people use capsules like Omega-3s to treat other less serious ailments like dull coats. With herbal remedies for everything from allergy control to stress relief, I am curious to know if your pets receive any special supplements. Share what they are (and what they're for) in your comments below!
Join The Conversation
Missy the big black mutt gets glucosamine chews twice a day now (poor dog's getting old and had horrible hips.) I think they're beef flavored so she looooves them. We'll give her benadryl when she starts chewing her paws during allergy season too. We have to put any sort of pill she needs in a dab of peanut butter on a cracker in order to get her to eat it. She figured out how to eat around the meds when we'd stick them in a hunk of cheese or a piece of lunchmeat lol. Sneaky dog...
I give Tilly 1/2 glucosamine vitamin (because of her size) with her dinner every night only because she gets a stiff leg, the vet thought she was starting with arthuritus when she was about 2. She's now 8 years old, her leg's basicly fine but does stiffen up now and then especially in winter.
Netwon & Axle both get Omega 3 & 6 pills each morning. We live in a very dry climate, so it does their coats and skin wonrders.
Only occasionally. One hurt his knee, so I gave them both glucosamine & chondroitin for a few months. One has a sensitive stomach, and I give them probiotics when it acts up. And one goes on poop eating binges from time to time, so I'll give them both a supplement until he stops.
My Jack gets salmon oil for his skin.
I did give my Emma a multivitamin when she was ill with lymphoma, as she wasn't absorbing nutrients like she should. But Oliver is doing great on his dry and canned foods. We do share a cup of berry yogurt on most days, though! :)
They get: Vitamin B complex (including Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, Cyanocobalamin, Biotin, Choline, Folic Acid, Inositol, and Para-Aminobenzoic Acid), natural Vitamin E, kelp (which contains over 60 minerals and 21 amino acids), salmon oil, and a pro-biotic blend. These are all things that were added to their raw food when they were on a raw diet, but since they decided to stop eating that, I now give them smaller doses in supplement form with their canned food.
My dog takes Melatonin for his skin.
Lulu was recently started on 3V Free Form Liquid (fish oil supplement) as suggested from her vet. She gets one pump each morning on her food. It's too early to tell if its working but I have my fingers crossed. For anxiety I bought "Sleepytime Tonic" by Happytails (http://www.happytailsspa.com). I have yet to try it because I bought it for an upcoming trip that will have her in the car for 4 hours though I suppose I should test it out beforehand to make sure she doesn't have a bad reaction.
we do fish oil
I would give Chase Benadryl if needed...and I will give Glucosamine when he gets a bit older to prevent serious joint problems. I always thought that as long as you were feeding a good food there was enough of it in there, but just learned the whole process of making kibble renders it somewhat ineffective :( As far as vitamins and minerals I feed a holistic food with lots of veggies and fruit so I don't think he needs any extra. And he gets 2 spoons of plain yogurt everyday to help with gas and bad breath (which must be coming from his tummy, since his teeth are perfect!)...so kind of similar to the probiotic supplement idea.
My cats don't, but the guinea pigs we took care of did get Vitamin C solution in their water.
yep, those skin supplements b/c my dog Kobe has the worst skin ever right now.
btw...not everyone can afford to feed their pets a proper raw diet.
Kasey gets a pro-biotic every day to help his digestive system which can be a little sensitive. We've really noticed a difference in his *you know what* for the better since we've been doing this. And his vet says it's a great idea.
B-Bop has really dry skin so I put some salmon oil on his food. It helps a lot. I feed him a good food, so he gets his vitamins an such there. I do give him benadryl every so often, when he gets itchy and starts rubbing his face on the ground. I know some people are against packaged food and supplements and such, but my dog is healthy and happy and that's what matters
Nope, haven't had to do this with either kitty as of yet. We used to give my dog arthitis supplements and they helped a lot.
Harley gets a hip and joint vitamin for her bum hip and some doggy probiotics.
You shouldn't be giving yiour animals any of these! Red this site : www.rawlearning.com and you will see why!
Oh and when she was a baby she was given Flax Seed Oil for her itchy skin. It helped.
Nope. Storm gets Benadryl when she has an allergic reaction to something. Usually bee stings, lol! She doesn't learn to leave them alone. Their food has a ton of minerals/vitamins so they do not need a supplement.

England won a Test series in India today. When the historic moment arrived it had an air of inevitability that never seemed remotely likely in the 28 years since it last happened.
Ian Bell gently played a ball back to Gautam Gambhir, England declared their second innings at 352 for four as soon as regulations allowed play to cease and that was that. The tourists had secured the draw they required in the Fourth Test on a Nagpur pitch that was unfit for purpose and retained their 2-1 series lead.
Proceedings on the fifth day were rendered academic by a fourth wicket partnership of 208 between Bell and Jonathan Trott. They did much as they pleased but then they did not have to do much.
Trott scored his eighth Test hundred, his second of the year, Bell his 17th, his first in 2012 in 25 innings. It was a little more than going through the motions, considering what depended on it but staying in on the pitch was a good deal easier than getting out.
Trott was dismissed for 143, flicking the ball to leg slip, Bell offered a chance when cutting on 75 but otherwise was utterly unbothered and finished on 116 not out. England merely extended their lead bit by bit. By the end of the first session England had secured what they came for.
It was a stupendous beginning to the Alastair Cook era in English cricket and entirely fitting that he should be man of the series for scoring hundreds in each of the first three matches. To lead by example is perhaps the greatest virtue a captain can have.
There have been occasions in the past 28 years when it seemed this might never happen again. And if there was a time it looked certain for most of the 12 months leading to this tour that this was not it.
When England lost the opening Test by nine wickets, guilty of all their old failings and introducing some new ones to the charge sheet, their goose looked cooked and there were still 25 shopping days to Christmas.
The manner in which they proceeded to turn it round was as significant and laudable as the result itself. England went on to beat India at their own game.
Seizing the day on a bouncing, turning pitch in Mumbai, they engineered one of the greatest of all English Test victories on foreign soil. Their two spinners, Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar, did everything that was expected of them and more.
Cook, who had launched the revival with a defiant second innings hundred in the opening Test, scored another of equal fortitude and this was probably the moment when the errant Kevin Pietersen was truly reintegrated to the side. India were crushed and England believed again.
In Kolkata they were irresistible, grinding their way to victory and having all the inspirational moments on which success in sport so often depends. Cook provided another tour de force and Jimmy Anderson buttressed his reputation as the cleverest fast bowler around. And so to
Nagpur for a kind of decider where a pitch of such dastardly traits was promised that batsmen must have woken up in cold sweats contemplating it. India needed to win the match to sustain an unbeaten run in home Test series which had lasted since 2004. England needed to avoid defeat to win their first series in the country since David Gower's team prevailed early in 1985.
In the event the surface was too placid, creating a contest in which runs were difficult to score and wickets were all but impossible to take unless a batsman became bored or distracted.
England arrived at the fifth morning today on 161 for three, making their lead 165 with India having declared behind. The finishing tape was so close they could touch it. The strategy was simply one of survival because the circumstances did not permit a push for spectacular victory which had capped off their great triumph in Australia nearly two years ago.
Trott and Bell, colleagues at Warwickshire, went about their business in a businesslike way. The pitch, hard and dry, had refused to wear. There was no bounce, no turn, no pace. It gave the impression that the match would retain those traits for as long as England had failed to win in India.
But that period was rapidly drawing to a close. England actually enjoyed themselves after the initial playing in was done in the morning. Trott played a few leg side drives which are his hallmark, one of which took him to his century. Bell, in need of a score, was as relaxed as he has been for several innings.
Given his recent track record, there was always the scope for an inexplicable lapse of judgement but a beautiful cover drive in the third over with the second new ball ensured he was up and running.
By lunch England had put the match beyond India's reach at 240 for three and the rest was for wallowing in the making of history.
We apologise to all cricket fans as we are unable to print live pictures from today's play. This paper, along with other British media groups, is not publishing any live pictures from the Fourth Test in protest at the Indian cricket board's refusal to grant access to certain major picture agencies which we view as a restriction on the freedom of the press.

text: SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Mark S. Mednansky, CEO of Del Frisco's Restaurant Group, is delighted to announce that the company will expand the presence of its award-winning Del Frisco's Grilles with the opening of two new locations in Dallas-Fort Worth. Del Frisco's Restaurant Group is based in Southlake, Texas just outside Dallas - and operates more than 30 restaurants across the country. The new Del Frisco's Grilles, which are scheduled to open later this year, will be in Fort Worth's Sundance Square plaza and in Southlake Town Square, which is located in the affluent Dallas suburb of Southlake - just minutes from the home office of Del Frisco's Restaurant Group. The company already owns three restaurants in Dallas-Fort Worth: Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House on Main Street in Fort Worth, Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House in Dallas, and Del Frisco's Grille in Dallas' trendy Uptown neighborhood. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120730/SF48710LOGO) Del Frisco's Grille is an exciting new eatery dishing up creative twists on American comfort classics. The menu at Del Frisco's Grille takes the traditional bar and grill to new heights, using bold flavors, regional ingredients and local flair in many of its dishes. Del Frisco's Grille was honored by Nation's Restaurant News as the winner of the 2012 Hot Concepts Award. "As a Texas-based company, we're thrilled to be expanding Del Frisco's Grille in our hometown market," said Mark S. Mednansky, CEO of Del Frisco's Restaurant Group. "With the addition of these new locations of Del Frisco's Grille, we'll be able to better serve the thriving North Texas area. Del Frisco's Grille makes for a wonderful gathering place for family and friends, and the perfect spot to enjoy prime steaks or shareable dishes with a nice glass of wine or a local beer." Slated to open in fall 2013, the Fort Worth Del Frisco's Grille will be located in the Sundance Square plaza, a 35-block retail and entertainment district in the heart of the city's downtown corridor. The plaza will be flanked by two new buildings currently under construction, The Westbrook on the west and The Commerce to the east, which is where Del Frisco's Grille will be located. The north side of the plaza will be framed by the historic Jett Building and a new multi-purpose pavilion and on the south side of the plaza, a double allee of trees will define the nearly one-acre site. Designed to offer a dramatic and open-feel setting, the layout of the 9,000 square foot, two-story restaurant will include mezzanine seating, and a large patio on the ground floor, perfect for outdoor dining. The space will also incorporate both an indoor and outdoor bar on the ground floor, along with an additional bar on the second story. The Southlake location of Del Frisco's Grille will join Southlake Town Square, a vibrant and charming open air shopping, dining and retail development in the affluent Dallas suburb of Southlake. Open since 1999, the 130-acre area boasts over 120 specialty retail shops and restaurants, a movie theatre, hotel, offices, government buildings, and residential brownstones. The 8,000 square foot Del Frisco's Grille will be located in the heart of the action on the Northeast corner of North Carroll Avenue and East Southlake Boulevard. The free-standing two-story building will feature a large patio on the first floor with a fireplace, and an expansive bank of windows adjacent to the bar and dining area. The second story will also feature a patio offering dining and lounge seating. The restaurant is slated to open in winter 2013. Del Frisco's offers a wide selection of classics that are meant to be shared, including favorites such as Seared Asian Tuna Salad, Cheesesteak Egg Rolls and Wood Oven-Baked Flatbreads. The menu is rounded out with a selection of prime steaks, hearty salads, and formidable sandwiches. Regulars at the Grille always save room for dessert. Del Frisco's is known for its Lemon Doberge - a memorable, towering six-layer confection made from scratch daily and frosted with three different icings. Chocolate lovers will love the sinfully rich Nutella Bread Pudding. Even late-night revelers will get up early for a decadent brunch at the Grille that includes an out-of-this-world Red Velvet Belgian Waffle and Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs with Chorizo Gravy. With 500 selections from the Grille's sleek "wine wall," Del Frisco's Grille offers a wide variety of choices that appeal to every palate from the adventurous to the traditional. Del Frisco's Director of Wine, David O'Day, has carefully selected wines from established and up-and-coming regions in the world, creating an unparalleled and adventurous wine list, surprisingly more extensive than those found in a traditional bar and grill. A fun addition to the local nightlife, the bar at Del Frisco's Grille gets the party going with imaginative, memorable cocktails including The Kilt Lifter and Apt. 5D - plus shots on tap like The Honey Badger.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > New Study Documents Effects of Female Employment on Fertility Rates in China
Women in China's workforce have significantly lower fertility rates than those who are not employed. That is one finding in a new Harvard Kennedy School Faculty Working Paper co-authored by HKS Professor Richard Zeckhauser.
"Jobs and Kids: Female Employment and Fertility in China" synthesizes the analysis of data taken from the 2006 China Health and Nutrition Survey to determine how growing labor-force participation is affecting birth rates in the world's most populous country.
"China is a particularly important place to study the relationship between women's employment and fertility, given its rapid pace of economic development, enormous population, and controversial family planning policies," the authors write.
Zeckhauser and co-authors Hai Fang (University of Colorado, Denver), Karen Eggleston (Stanford University) and John Rizzo (State University of New York, Stony Brook) sought to isolate the impact of rising female employment trends from that of China's controversial policy which limits urban couples to one child, and most rural couples to no more than two children and no more than one son.
"Our preferred specification indicates that female employment reduces the preferred number of children by 0.35 on average, and the actual number of children by 0.50. Having a first child who is a son is associated with lower fertility, both preferred and actual," the authors find.
The authors argue that the study has important implications for policymakers in Beijing.
"Given the Chinese government's ongoing desire to curb population growth, the finding that female off-farm employment reduces fertility is noteworthy," the authors conclude. "Encouraging greater rates of off-farm employment for women could substantially reduce fertility without requiring any of the punishments and penalties for childbearing that have earned China so much criticism. Further improvements in women's education would complement pro-employment policies by increasing the productivity of female employment and multiplying its fertility-reducing effects."
Richard Zeckhauser is the Frank P. Ramsey Professor of Political Economy. Much of his conceptual research examines possibilities for democratic, decentralized allocation procedures. Many of his policy investigations explore ways to promote the health of human beings, to help markets work more effectively, and to foster informed and appropriate choices by individuals and government agencies.

Eleanor was born last night (her due date) in the water birth tub at our local hospital. I have to say I am in love with that tub and it made labour so much easier. I was getting slammed with contractions with out enough break between them before. Once in the tub they were farther between, but still getting things done and I could breath through them more easily. Plus I was really feeling cold and a hot bath is just nice. We were in the hospital less than three hours and it took only four pushes before she was born. Midwife broke the bag after the first push (I may have sworn at her to do it). The cord was super short (I could not move her past my hip) so it needed to be cut right away and she was very deep gurgly so she spent some time in the warmer being suctioned before I got to put her to my chest. 8 lb even. My husband did his bit, including holding a cloth against my bottom to keep the hemorrhoids in when I pushed. It worked great and I am so very grateful to have the same bum today as yesterday since that was a real problem last time. The midwife on call was wonderful despite having just come from another birth. Her main evaluative technique was to ask if I had any questions and then just watch me labour to see where I was.
Eleanor latched on as soon as she had the chance and nursed literally for hours. Perfect little latch. Our pastor came in the morning for some baby snuggling and then brought us home less than 12 hours after she was born. Our family doctor was totally on board (he has a homebirth background) and all the nurses made sure everything got in done in time. Monkey was excited to see her and talked all about her, gave her his toys and was very excited to see her nurse on 'his' nanas. He was more excited later when he got his turn too. It turns out tandem nursing can be a pretty easy way to make everyone happy.
Of course I brought cloth to the hospital to try and it was so easy. I just had her in a fitted, Kissaluvs 0s at first, then Happy Heiny's Hemp Huggers for the first had a day since she was not making them wet really. I made liners from an old receiving blanket and when she had her tar poops, I could just switch one out and toss it after wiping her up. The nurses all thought they were really cute and it was nice to have something so soft against her skin. Far better then the Pampers stink coming from the package in the drawer.

happily married mama to DD1 4/08, 12/31/09, and DD2 5/11
sounds wonderful! congrats mama and welcome eleanor.
mother is a verb
My mum is here so adults still outnumber little ones, plus you had C-section so you have a harder job with everything.
I answered a work e-mail yesterday (I moderate a cloth diaper listserve) and got busted for having a new baby so I wrote most of this up for that.
You get the bum details though.
Mama to J (Jan '09), E (May '11), and C (August, '13)

At least Boris has changed his tune. As Mayor, he has previously bashed the young employed ("the jobs are there and people need the energy to go out and get them") and the Occupy movement ("hemp-smoking, fornicating hippies"), but on Tuesday, that sharp tongue turned on the affluent. Calling on the super-rich to give more to charity, Johnson said they would rather buy "the biggest house they can with the most colossal grouse moor they can find" than support good causes.
The Johnson siblings may themselves be set to inherit a 500-acre farm, but he had a point. Which he promptly spoiled by handing those rolling in lucre a get-out-of-jail-free card. Apparently, the reason they don't empty their pockets is that "there's still something in Britain that regards giving on a huge scale as being somehow ostentatious".
Ah, so that's it. It's not that the filthy rich are stingy. It's that they blush at the vulgarity of giving generously. It's a wonder that they don't spontaneously combust in embarrassment at the adulation they get in return: the plaque in their honour at the opera, their name in the back of theatre programmes, the media encomium. Strange that more of them don't choose to donate anonymously, then.
And what's even odder is that there doesn't seem to be an equivalent embarrassment when the showy spending is on themselves. There's no shame, apparently, in popping up clad in Dior in the back of Tatler, snapped at an event where the tickets cost more than most of us earn in a month.
Nor does digging one of those ludicrous basements under a megamansion (because everyone needs their own spa and cinema) seem to embarrass Harry Hedge Fund. To look at the Ecclestone sisters or the super-cars parked near Hyde Park Corner, it would seem flashing cash on yourself is still very much in vogue, however tasteless it might be in an era of cuts and austerity.
In reality, our society over-praises plush philanthropists. Far from being generous souls embarrassed about seeming vulgar, they are the rich folk in the New Testament loading up the temple treasury for show and at minimal pain to themselves, while the poor are the impoverished widow giving as much as she can spare.
Recent research by the University of Manchester found that those with the least tend to give away the highest proportion of their income. In 2010/11, the poorest fifth of the population gave 3.2 per cent, the richest just 0.9 per cent.
So the Mayor shouldn't have let the deep-pocketed off the hook. If the wealthy want to show restraint, why don't they try it in the car dealerships and designer stores of Mayfair? With charity, Boris should have asked them to be as generous as the poor.
Obama, the deal breaker
Barack Obama has said he stopped smoking because he's "scared" of his wife. It was a joke, a quip, a bit of badinage, but the headlines inevitably declared that President O, the most powerful man in the world, is intimidated by his missus. It must be those awesome upper arms.
This story plays to that awful cliché of the fun husband whose joys are reined in by the bossy and humourless ball-and-chain. In reality, however, Obama promised Michelle years ago that if he ran for President, he'd ditch the deathsticks. So they did a trade. That doesn't mean he's "pussy-whipped", it means he values his clever wife's opinion more than he does a bad habit. Besides, she can hardly be expected to push healthy-living initiatives on Americans without starting first at home.
Equality in the animal world
A gorilla was banished from Dallas Zoo this week and moved to a therapy facility for his "sexist" attitude. Patrick, the animal world's answer to Godfrey Bloom, apparently bit one female and sneered at others. Perhaps the lady gorillas weren't cleaning behind the banana crates properly.
Rather than Primate Correction Camp, though, I think Patrick just needs to observe a few of his fellow beasts for inspiration.
Mr Penguin: Papa Pingu egg-sits while Mama goes fishing for food. He doesn't even complain if she's late back with dinner, he just rustles up some regurgitated curd.
Mr Killer Whale: The adolescent orca "alloparents" — babysitting younger siblings so his mother can put her fins up or go out on the razz with the other lady whales. It's not entirely altruistic: it ups his chances of some whale MILF action.
Mr Seahorse: Perpetually-papped in his "This is what a feminist looks like" T-shirt, he gets pregnant so that Mrs Seahorse can carry on ruling the ocean office.
Now meet my better half ...
As I approach 30 I've noticed a small shift. If you're unmarried, people stop referring to your better half as a "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" and start calling them your "partner".
There is no good word to define the relationship any more. Boyfriend is clearly deemed too teenage, suggesting you are pressed up against the lockers snogging, but partner seems ageing, like you have a joint bank account and probably now pee with the bathroom door open.
Friends suggest paramour (too illicit-sounding), beau (too fawning) and suitor (too unaffectionate). Of course, if you want to shock the rellies, you can always borrow from Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll, and call them your "official shag".Reuse content

"I loved the fact that I could customize the text to what I wanted to say, not be obligated to use the text provided. It was extremely easy to do. Overall, I was very happy with the invites I created and was even more happy when I recieved them in 2 days like they said I would."
"This card was the perfect template for my son's baptism invitations. This card had a place to put a photo, we used one of the pictures from his newborn photo shoot and it went perfectly with the colors and layout of the invitation. The quality of the paper was a very heavy card stock and the print quality was top notch. I've received nothing but compliments from everyone who has received the invitation."
"This invite shipped and arrived early which was great because we were able to send them out right away. The invite came out clear and high quality. We got so many compliments. I liked how you could personalize it and not have a generic saying on it. The fact that we had the envelopes pre-printed was another bonus so I didn't have to write them all out. However, it would have been easier if you could have downloaded a PDF or MS document of addresses rather than individually type each address in. Other than that, I was highly satisfied with these invites and thought they were a fantastic value!"
"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 :)"
"We ordered the invitations late but because of the rapid service at tiny prints we were able to receive our invites and get them out in time. Great customer service. They were very helpful and professional. I would definitely use them again."

About to buy the M5
Hello all, I am about to buy an M5, it has been a dream of mine for a long time, I am very familiar with the e39, I have a 99 540it with 164,xxx on her and I know all about the services that are required, but is there anything I need to know about the M5, Any info will help, thanks
Hired a PPI before purchase!
Try to get a Cert M5 if you can, I have had my beast for almost 12 years, never a problem, other than trival sensors, lights, fuses but nothing alarming. These are very rare cars, trying to find a shop to repair other than the dealership is the hardest part in my book. Best of luck, don't forgot to let us know how you made out! :-)

"Becca with AEC coordinated our wedding. She was beyond fabulous. Her tips and assitance from beginning to end made the day of our wedding and the entire process easy and enjoyable. Becca took care of absolutely anything and everything that we needed leading up to, and on the day of our wedding. I would recommend AEC to anyone looking for expert, friendly and impeccable planning assitance. She was the best, and a huge part of why our day was as great as it was."
