12 things: Wear more dresses
These days, when I'm in doubt, I wear a dress (thanks to my 12 things!). It makes life so much easier and fun. As we head into the cooler months in Sydney, I am milking the warm weather as much as possible by wearing my dresses in high rotation.
A few of you had asked to see photos of me in my dresses, so here are a couple just for you:Have you been wearing dresses lately?

Wordburglar Releases 'G.I. Joe'-Themed Hip Hop Album, Corrupts America's Youth In The Name Of Cobra
Believe it or not, I am the proud owner of multiple concept albums where rappers take on G.I. Joe-related personas and rap about how awesome Cobra Commander, Destro and the Baroness are. Seriously, I think if I get two or three more of these things, it will officially qualify as a subgenre. Cobracore, or maybe Wrist-Missle-Hop.
The latest? A brand new album from Wordburglar, rapping in character as Rap Viper (described as the Commander's chief operative in "indoctrinating the youth with Cobra propaganda") titled Welcome To Cobra Island. What's more, Wordburglar released a pretty awesome fan-film video with the album's lead track, featuring HISS Tanks, Rattlers and even Cobra Commander himself scratching on the ones and twos. Check it out below!

General Motors earned considerable enmity in 2009 when it declared bankruptcy and accepted a $51 billion bailout from the U.S. government. Some GM customers have since discovered that they're in the crossfire as well.
A few owners of the Chevrolet Volt, GM's innovative plug-in hybrid, report that they've been booed, heckled and vandalized, presumably because they own a car deemed offensive to fellow taxpayers. These tales of Volt rage were uncovered by the car-research site Edmunds, which runs several online forums where owners swap stories.

News on Possible Drug for Lupus—Benlysta™
Human Genome Sciences (HGS) and GlaxoSmithKline Report Topline Results of 76-Week, Phase 3 Study
The beneficial effects of the proposed lupus drug Benlysta ™ (belimumab) are not only present after 52 weeks, but persist through at least 76 weeks, HGS and GlaxoSmithKline reported yesterday.
It was last July and November that the companies reported that high doses of Benlysta were statistically significantly superior to placebo in benefiting people with systemic lupus in two major 52-week clinical trials—a major advance for a chronic and potentially fatal illness which has had no new drug approved in 50 years.
Now results at 76 weeks show that Benlysta™ continues to do better for most trial participants than placebo—38.5% of patients responded to high dose Benlysta™ compared to 32.4% of those taking a placebo—but not to the point of statistical significance in what were considered secondary endpoints.
"The Lupus Research Institute is gratified to see that the benefits of this experimental lupus drug at Week 52 persisted through to Week 76 for many participants, and that no new safety issues arose over this longer time period," said Margaret G. Dowd, president of the LRI.
"People with lupus and their families have been waiting a very long time for better treatments and a cure," Dowd said. "Altogether, the findings on this investigational human monoclonal antibody drug—specifically the positive results of the two large Phase 3 trials reported last year—provide the basis for the first approval of a new lupus drug in half a century."

'Looking Over the President's Shoulder'
By Megan Sexton, email@example.com, 803-777-1421
A Broadway star will bring to life the compelling story of Alonzo Fields, an African-American who spent 21 years as the chief butler in the White House, on a University of South Carolina stage Sept. 12-15.
"Looking Over the President's Shoulder," a play written by James Still based on Fields' life, will be performed at Drayton Hall Theatre on the USC campus.
The one-man show is told from the perspective of Fields, the grandson of a freed slave who grew up in an all-black town in southern Indiana. He accepted a job in the White House in 1931, and was appointed chief butler, serving Presidents Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower.
Lawrence Hamilton, a Broadway performer who has starred in productions around the world, will play the role of Fields. Hamilton made his Broadway debut in 1979 in "Timbuktu" starring Eartha Kitt. Since then he has performed on Broadway in shows such as "Ragtime" and "Blues in the Night," as well as developing a music career.
Throughout the week, events celebrating the show will be held on the USC campus. A voter registration drive will be held from noon-2 p.m. Sept. 11 on Greene Street.

Today marks the first Veterans Day of the 21st Century. As we have done since 1919, Americans pause to salute the brave men and women who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States. This day was originally set aside as a day of observance for those who fought and died in the "Great War," World War I -- the "war to end all wars." Obviously, World War I was not the end of warfare; in fact, it was the precursor of warfare throughout the 20th Century. So with history as our guide, members of our Armed Forces undoubtedly will be called upon to go into harm's way in the new century. Our men and women in uniform, serving around the globe today, stand ready to answer that call.
In 1954, Veterans Day became a tribute to all those who have served America in all wars. It is fitting to note that this change came on the heels of another important conflict, the Korean War. During this commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Korean War, we should pay honor to our veterans of that conflict. Their great sacrifice embodies the spirit of selflessness in the face of overwhelming deprivation and hardship.
This Veterans Day, I challenge every American to consider the sacrifice of those who lost their lives in our Nation's struggles to preserve liberty and freedom. Whether attending a parade, a memorial service or observing the day in private, pause at the 11th hour to reflect upon and mark this occasion.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff and I join you in paying homage to our veterans for all they have done. Their actions made a difference for America and the world. Their dedication to duty has preserved our precious legacy of freedom and liberty in this great Republic.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Post subject: Priorities
If one of the top 2 recievers somehow dropped, they should jump on him. Realistically that won't happen, but they will still take the BPA. I think that will likely be a CB. I'm not high on Rolle (he's a head case), but he'll likely be gone by then anyway. That leaves PacMan and Carlos Rogers. PacMan would be nice because he's a return man, but he gambles too much. Rogers would be a perfect compliment to Robinson with his speed and size. Alex Barron is also a possibility, but I don't think he is all that much better than what they could get later and Wand will get better.
Projected Pick: Carlos Rogers
Round 2
Getting more sacks is the number one priority this offseason, and that will be helped primarily by the develpoment of Babin and Peek. The addition of another quality DB in round one will lead to more coverage sacks and round two is the time to add a palymaker on the DL. D Linemen in a 3-4 don't often get gaudy sack numbers, but they can flush QBs out to the linebackers, as well as occupy blockers. Chris Canty would be a perfect fit with his size, athleticism, and experience. I think Canty will be gone by the time the Texans pick, but a player like Mike Patterson from USC would also help quite a bit. Patterson is an incredible player who will drop on draft day simply because he is short. This also may be the time to address the OL if a Tackle like Terry or Barnes were to drop, or possibly a Guard like Elton Brown or Baas.
Projected Pick: Mike Patterson
Now is the time to address the offensive needs by drafting a WR and an OL. Roscoe Parrish from Miami would be a nice fit, but will likely be gone in the second round. That leaves recievers like Terrance Murphy and Chris Henry amoung others. There will likely be an OT drop to the third round like Michael Munoz or Marcus Johnson. Either would add nice depth and could possibly develop into a starter. Donte Nicholson is also a possibility as a Safety.
Projected Picks: Chris Henry and Michael Munoz
Day 2
Players I like that could slip to Day two include guys like Craphonso Thorpe, Chris Colmer, Matt Jones, Kay Jay Harris, Wes Sims, and Lionel Turner

personally i feel if the texans have the chance to grap troy williamson they will, i think williamson will be there at 13, since they've got there returning starters for the dline i dont see them getting a defensive lineman anymore, and they have too many players at the linebacking position, so they'll look at cb, and a wideout, your right about picking a cornerback im not so sure it'll be rogers though, but the rest of your thoughts are solid with your round 2 and round 3 predections, i like the idea of patterson and munoz

I like the picks for the draft. They would definitely all fill needs for us since Rogers has the potential to step in right away and take over for Glenn. Alot of what is going to happen in the draft is dependant on what occurs in the next few weeks in FA. Foreman and Sharper may be on the way out, which may fill up enough caproom to grab a guy like Plaxico to play across from Andre. Merriman might be the selection at that point, since we would have Babin as the other OLB, and then Wong and Greenwood inside. So alot will depend on what happens in the next few weeks, but right now I definitely like the picks.

ya i see what your saying and i agree, but i dont know if i want plaxico on this team, he has a knack for not being a team player and being a player that's selfish he has some good size, but no hands but i agree it would look nice for him to be side by side with andre but does he want to be second fiddle to anyone? plaxico looks to end up in minnesota, he has a good relationship with culpepper, but if you've heard talks that the texans are interested in plaxico let me know from what i've heard they're hasn't been any rumblings

All I've really heard is that the well is drying up for interest in Plaxico. I think he assumed he'd command more on the market than he has, but like you said he's got an attitude and hasn't put up the numbers expected of him. If Minnesota doesn't take him, I think the texans may take a shot at him for about 3-4 mill per year. Maybe not, but they could.

Indians exhibition game with White Sox canceled
(GLENDALE, Ariz.) – John Danks didn't get to pitch against the Cleveland Indians on Saturday because of rain. He still enjoyed some quality time with his cut fastball.
After Saturday's scheduled exhibition game was called off, the Chicago White Sox left-hander threw 45 pitches in a three-inning simulated game in the batting cage to remain on schedule.
Danks used the time to work on his cutter, a pitch that he used more frequently before he was sidelined by arm surgery in 2012.
"Everything felt good," Danks said. "I was pleased with the cutter and was able to make it move. I started playing with it on the opposite side of the plate."
"It gives me another pitch to get lefties out. I think we might have found something (today)," he said.
While Danks said it was disappointing to not face opposing batters, he said, "It was good to get up that third time (after breaks to simulate half-innings) and stretch it out as much as we can. We have plenty of time to get to where we want to be."
Chicago pitchers Dylan Axelrod, Eric Surkamp and Chris Beck also threw in the cage to hitters.
Cleveland's first two pitchers on Saturday would have been Trevor Bauer and veteran Aaron Harang, who are competing for spots at the end of the Indians' rotation.

Wendy Williams offers advice to T.I. & Tiny
Wendy Williams is the latest celebrity to weigh in on the T.I. and Tiny Harris' troubled marriage.
The talk show host advised the couple to stop their public displays of discord or divorce.
"If what they're trying to do is save their family brand by posting cryptic messages and not wearing wedding rings and fighting in the Fat Burger, it's not working," she said.
"I would suggest that they take all of this fighting between husband and wife off social media and work it out behind closed doors themselves."
She went on to remind the famous couple that they should divorce if they can't get along.
"That's what civilized people would do. But, if you're not going to work it out, there's nothing wrong with a divorce," she said.
She even offered Tiny some career advice for capitalizing on her crisis.
"Tiny I can see the new reality show: you and Shekinah take on the world," she said.
"I wonder if it's 'Tiny: Single Again' or if it's 'Tiny: Working It Out with the Help of Shekinah.'"

Every year nonprofit organizations play a pivotal role in supporting in educational, religious, artistic, health and welfare services across the country. If you plan to make a charitable donation, make it wisely by heeding some basic advice. For more information about charitable activities in the workplace please refer to Giving Back: Tips for Business Owners.
Do your research. There are more than 1 million charities registered with the IRS. Without a doubt, there is at least one working on the issues that you care about. Compare similar organizations and how they operate by visiting Guide Star, Charity Navigator, or Better Business Bureau. Make the most of your donations by giving to groups that use funds as you see fit.
Only give to registered charities. In order to solicit for donations in Oregon, most charitable organizations must be registered with the Oregon Department of Justice. Before you give, check our database or call (971) 673-1880 to confirm that the organization is properly registered.
Make sure your gift is tax-deductible. The government recognizes the value of charitable organizations and most contributions to recognized charities are tax-deductible. However, your donation must be given to a qualified charitable organization. To be certain, visit the IRS website. You must also keep adequate records, so make sure the charity provides written acknowledgment of your donation.
Watch out for imposters. Bogus charities often use names or logos that resemble those of well-established, reputable organizations. Before you respond to a solicitation from an unfamiliar organization, call them to confirm that it exists and is aware of any fundraising efforts on its behalf.
Resist impulse decisions to donate. Telephone and door-to-door solicitations may be earnest requests for your support but be wary of scam artists who want your money fast. No legitimate organization will insist that you donate immediately. Request written materials about the charity and read up to learn more before making a decision.
Be careful with cash donations. Legitimate charities will be pleased to receive a contribution by check. Never send contributions with a "runner," by wire or with an overnight parcel pick-up service. Always make the check payable to the organization and never the individual collecting the donation.
If you don't remember a pledge, you probably didn't make one. Watch out for solicitations that resemble an invoice or come from an unfamiliar organization thanking you for your previous support. Regardless of your giving history, consumers have no obligation to donate.
Reduce the number of solicitations you receive. Under Oregon law, if your number is on the national Do-Not-Call List, charities may not solicit donations over the phone unless you are a past donor or expressed a previous interest in giving. If you want to be removed from as many national mailing lists as possible, sign up for free at www.dmachoice.org and opt out of receiving most junk mail for a period of five years. Learn more about telemarketing and reducing junk mail & spam.
If you have concerns about a solicitation, please file a complaint online or call the Charitable Activities Section at (971) 673-1880.

Imagine the fastest man in the world — Jamaican Olympian runner Usain Bolt — with one of the fastest mobile devices — the Blackberry Q10 — matched with the fastest Internet speed [1]…which would be where exactly?
While Bolt's homeland has helped Cuba, the country with the lowest online connectivity rates in the Western Hemisphere, connect to its faster fiber-optic cable network, other places around the world are surfing online with lightning bolt speed.
A "quick" look at the top places in the world for fastest Internet connection shows Mr. Bolt would have to sprint outside the realm of the United Kingdom. The U.K. just misses out in the top 10 in a Bloomberg report, ranking 12th worldwide.
The top 10, according to Flanders Today, includes:
1) South Korea, 13.7 megabits per second
2) Hong Kong, 9.4 Mbps
3) Japan, 8.3 Mbps
4) Romania 7.0 Mbps
5) Netherlands, 7.0 Mbps
6) Latvia, 5.9 Mbps
7) Czech Republic, 5.7 Mbps
8 ) Switzerland, 5.6 Mbps
9) Belgium, 5.5 Mbps
10) Canada, 5.5 Mbps
By 2018, the U.K. is expected to increase its Internet abilities by between 80 and 300 times, according to International Business Times. With its progression from copper wire to more advanced (and expensive) fiber optics networks, the U.K. is quite optimistic for the future, especially with growing statistics of mobile usage. Seventy-nine percent of the U.K. have at least one type of Internet-capable device, and 16 percent of U.K. households have three or more. Virus protection [2] is also becoming more essential, as around a quarter of U.K. citizens have experienced a computer virus, according to Ofcom's 2013 adults' media use and attitudes report.
Although the U.K. improved its Internet speed 53 percent since last year (now at 36.3 Mbps), it's still a bronze medal contender at best, compared to South Korea.
Bolt would be right at home in South Korea [3], where 95 percent of homes have broadband Internet access, which ranks number one in the world. In the country's densely populated areas, there are a bevy of high-rise apartments that create exceptional Internet connectivity — one reason why South Koreans enjoy lightning-fast Internet. Homes in the U.K. and the U.S. tend to be less vertical. Thus, it creates a bigger challenge to hit each household with a strong Internet connection.
In April, Japan introduced the world's fastest Internet speeds with the Sony Nuro Fiber service, which boasts a Usain Bolt-eye-raising data speed rate of 2 gigabits per second. It is a highly competitive country in the technology industry, but it also works just as hard for the Japanese value of social harmony.
If you happen to be talking on your mobile when boarding a Japanese bus, good luck, because most likely, you won't be allowed on until you're off your mobile. Japan's culture delicately balances the perks of great Internet accessibility and gadgets with the respect of not being a nuisance to other fellow countrymen.

FEDSIM Awards $42 Million Information Technology Task Orderto SRA International, Inc.
July 30, 1998
Contact: Bill Bearden
Internet: email@example.com
WASHINGTON, DC -- The U.S. General Services Administration has awarded an information technology task order with an estimated value of nearly $42 million over five years to SRA International, Inc. of Arlington, VA. The task order is in support of an interagency agreement with the GAO Office of Information Management Center (OIMC). And will provide assistance to GAO in meeting their expanding network engineering, network operations, systems security, and software engineering requirements.
GSA's Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM), a program of the Federal Technology Service (FTS) made the award using the FEDSIM multiple award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracting vehicle. FEDSIM's team of contracting and information technology professionals worked with the OIMC staff in developing technical specifications, procurement documentation, and project deliverables. Using FEDSIM's innovative MAIQ contracting vehicle, the GAO OIMC project was awarded in less than 11 weeks with a significant reduction in overall procurement costs.
FEDSIM is supporting the entire GAO communications environment, both at headquarters and in field offices. GAO's communications infrastructure consists of routers, concentrators, and many miles of fiber optic and copper cabling that support nearly 5,000 users and over 60 servers in the metropolitan Washington, DC area. In addition, wide area network services are provided to the GAO's 16 field offices and audit sites located across the United States.
Software engineering support will also be provided by FEDSIM to the Advanced Technology Center within the OIMC. This broad-based initiative will entail supporting the sophisticated and often complex data and security requirements of the GAO professional staff. FEDSIM, in close coordination with GAO, will employ an evolutionary approach to developing capabilities in SyBase, Oracle, and SAS using the full range of engineering techniques and CASE tools.
Under the task order, FEDSIM will operate and maintain the GAO OIMC metropolitan area network, conduct risk analyses and security reviews, provide appropriate network upgrades, and implement other safeguards as necessary over the next five years.
For further information, please contact Marc Santini at (703) 756-6905 or by Internet address at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Full name Donald George Bradman
Born August 27, 1908, Cootamundra, New South Wales
Died February 25, 2001, Kensington Park, Adelaide, South Australia (aged 92 years 182 days)
Major teams Australia, New South Wales, South Australia
Nickname The Don
Batting style Right-hand bat
Bowling style Legbreak
Height 5 ft 7 in
In a nutshell Unquestionably the greatest batsman in the game, arguably the greatest cricketer ever, and one of the finest sportsmen of all time, Don Bradman was so far ahead of the competition as to render comparisons meaningless and to transcend the game he graced. More
|Test debut
|Australia v England at Brisbane, Nov 30-Dec 5, 1928 scorecard
|Last Test
|England v Australia at The Oval, Aug 14-18, 1948 scorecard
|Test statistics
|First-class span
|1927/28 - 1948/49
Sir Donald Bradman of Australia was, beyond any argument, the greatest batsman who ever lived and the greatest cricketer of the 20th century. Only WG Grace, in the formative years of the game, even remotely matched his status as a player. And The Don lived on into the 21st century, more than half a century after he retired. In that time, his reputation not merely as a player but as an administrator, selector, sage and cricketing statesman only increased. His contribution transcended sport; his exploits changed Australia's relationship to what used to be called the "mother country".
Throughout the 1930s and 40s Bradman was the world's master cricketer, so far ahead of everyone else that comparisons became pointless. In 1930, he scored 974 runs in the series, 309 of them in one amazing day at Headingley, and in seven Test series against England he remained a figure of utter dominance; Australia lost the Ashes only once, in 1932-33, when England were so spooked by Bradman that they devised a system of bowling, Bodyline, that history has damned as brutal and unfair, simply to thwart him. He still averaged 56 in the series.
In all, he went to the crease 80 times in Tests, and scored 29 centuries. He needed just four in his last Test innings, at The Oval in 1948, to ensure an average of 100 - but was out second ball for 0, a rare moment of human failing that only added to his everlasting appeal. Bradman made all those runs at high speed in a manner that bewildered opponents and entranced spectators. Though his batting was not classically beautiful, it was always awesome.
Matthew Engel
"He's out!" - to the thousands who read them, whether they were interested in cricket or not, the two words blazoned across the London evening newspaper placards could have meant only one thing: somewhere, someone had managed to dismiss Don Bradman, of itself a lifelong claim to fame.
Sir Donald George Bradman was, without any question, the greatest phenomenon in the history of cricket, indeed in the history of all ball games. To start with, he had a deep and undying love of cricket, as well, of course, as exceptional natural ability. It was always said he could have become a champion at squash or tennis or golf or billiards, had he preferred them to cricket. The fact that, as a boy, he sharpened his reflexes and developed his strokes by hitting golf ball with a cricket stump as it rebounded off a water tank attests to his eye, fleetness of foot and, even when young, his rare powers of concentration.
Bradman himself was of the opinion that there were other batsmen, contemporaries of his, who had the talent to be just as prolific as he was but lacked the concentration. Stan McCabe, who needed a particular challenge to bring the best of him, was no doubt one of them. "I wish I could bat like that", Bradman's assessment of McCabe's 232 in the Trent Bridge Test of 1938, must stand with W.G.'s "Give me Arthur" [Shrewsbury], when asked to name the best batsman he had played with, as the grandest tribute ever paid by one great cricketer to another.
So, with the concentration and the commitment and the calculation and the certainty that were synonymous with Bradman, went a less obvious but no less telling humility. He sought privacy and attracted adulation.
How did anyone ever get him out? The two bowlers to do it most often, if sometimes at horrendous cost, were both spinners - Clarrie Grimmett, who had ten such coups to his credit with leg-breaks and googlies, and Hedley Verity, who also had ten, eight of them for England. Is there anything, I wonder, to be deduced from this? Both, for example, had a flattish trajectory, which may have deterred Bradman from jumping out to drive, something he was always looking to do.
Grimmett was not, in fact, the only wrist-spinner to make the great man seem, at times, almost mortal. Bill O'Reilly was another - Bradman called him the finest and therefore, presumably, the most testing bowler he played against - as were Ian Peebles and Walter Robins; and it was with a googly that Eric Hollies bowled him for a duck in his last Test innings, at The Oval in 1948, when he was within four runs of averaging 100 in Test cricket. Perhaps, very occasionally, he did have trouble reading wrist-spin; but that, after all, is its devious purpose.
By his own unique standards, Bradman was discomfited by Bodyline, the shameless method of attack which Douglas Jardine employed to depose him in Australia in 1932-33. Discomfited, yes - but he still averaged 56.57 in the Test series. If there really is a blemish on his amazing record it is, I suppose, the absence of a significant innings on one of those "sticky dogs" of old, when the ball was hissing and cavorting under a hot sun following heavy rain. This is not to say he couldn't have played one, but that on the big occasion, when the chance arose, he never did.
His dominance on all other occasions was absolute. R. C. Robertson-Glasgow called the Don "that rarest of Nature's creatures, a genius with an eye for business." He could be 250 not out and yet still scampering the first run to third man or long leg with a view to inducing a fielding error. Batsmen of today would be amazed had they seen it, and better cricketers for having done so. It may be apocryphal, but if, to a well-wisher, he did desire his 309 not out on the first day of the Headingley Test of 1930 as a nice bit of practice for tomorrow, he could easily have meant it.
He knows as well as anyone, though, that with so much more emphasis being placed on containment and so many fewer overs being bowled, his 309 of 70 years ago would be nearer 209 today. Which makes it all the more fortuitous that he played when he did, by doing so, he had the chance to renew a nation and reinvent a game. His fame, like W.G.'s, will never fade.

So many of you asked us, "Why is there no Map It option in APPsearch!?" We're sorry for the delay. When making a major software migration like this, there are inevitably a few bumps along the way. But we have worked with our vendors and are happy to announce that MapIt! is now appearing in APPsearch [1].
One difference you may notice is that the Map It button does not appear on the initial results listing screen, as it does in the Classic Catalog [2]. However, if you click on the title of any item, you will be taken to a page that does include the Map It button. The button will open a map of the library with the shelf highlighted where your book is located.
Many thanks to our friends at StackMap [3] for getting this working for us!

Step 1: Introduction to granite tile
Natural beauty, durability, resistance to heat and a sense of permanence are the hallmarks of a granite countertop. But ordinarily solid-stone countertops are a pricey proposition due to the special tooling and installation required. In this story, we'll show you how to install an alternative—a solid-granite—tile countertop that costs about the same as a professionally installed plastic laminate countertop. That's for a wide variety of standard granite tile selections, but be aware that you can pay considerably more for premium selections.
We'll cover preparing a solid subbase of 3/4-in. plywood. Next we'll add a lightweight tile-backer material called "Denshield" over the plywood. And finally, we'll lay out and install the 12-in. granite tile surface itself.
The trickiest part of installing stone tile countertops is cutting a crisp, clean countertop "nosing" (or front lip). This difficult task is simple when you use a homemade jig (Fig. B) that's clamped to a tile saw's sliding table (Photo 9) to cut perfect 45-degree miters.
To finish off the gap at the backsplash of the counter, we've designed a unique, easy-to-install detail (Fig. A and Photo 16) that efficiently uses the leftover tile trimmings from the nosing cuts.
Figure A: Countertop Details
To calculate the number of tiles you need, multiply the lineal footage of 24-in. wide countertops by 2.5. Then add as many tiles as required to cover wider peninsulas or islands and subtract for cooktops, stoves, sinks or other built-ins. Keep in mind that you'll probably need partial tiles for filling around built-in appliances as well as at least a half dozen more tiles to allow for breakage and miscuts. Have extra tiles on hand; you can always return the leftovers.
In addition to the tile, you'll need:
- A 25-lb. bag of thinset mortar—gray for dark tiles or white for light tiles.
- A 5-lb. bag of unsanded grout for the tile joints. (Unsanded grout is easier to work into the narrow 1/8-in. wide grout lines and you won't risk scratching the stone while grouting.)
- A quart of polished-granite sealer to treat the tile and grout surfaces a week or so after grouting the tile (Photo 19). It will help prevent stains from penetrating the porous surface and enhance the natural beauty of the stone.
- A roll of fiberglass mesh tape for taping the Denshield seams (Photo 8).
- A 1/4-in. notched trowel for spreading the thinset (Photo 7).
- A 4-in. or 6-in. putty knife.
- A 2-in. margin trowel (Photo 15).
- A honing stone to soften sharp exposed edges (Photo 13).
- A grout float for spreading and embedding the grout (Photo 17).
- Color-matching caulk to substitute for grout at inside corners (Photo 18).
- Plastic spacers for supporting the backsplash tiles (Photo 16).
Step 2: Cutting granite
At first it might seem intimidating to work with tile that's made from rock, but it's not difficult. While you can't score and snap it like ceramic tile, it cuts easily on a conventional diamond tile saw. In fact, you'll make all of your cuts that way. Other than that, you'll use the same tools, materials and techniques needed for ceramic tile except for the grout and sealer types.
In addition to standard carpentry tools, you can rent or buy the tile-cutting saw. If you're really organized and have underlayment installed and all the tile laid out and planned ahead of time, you can do all the cutting in one day. But if you want to take more time, it may be worth buying a saw, especially if you plan on tiling floors or perhaps a bathroom in the future. Also buy four rubber padded mini-clamps (Photo 9) to hold the tiles to the jig. Steel C-clamps may crack the tiles. But use a couple of small C-clamps to secure the jig to the saw table.
Step 3: Preparing the cabinets
Photo 4: Screw on the plywood backing
Rip 3/4-in. plywood to project past cabinet fronts 5/8 in. (usually 24-5/8 in.) Put the plywood factory edge to the front. Cut plywood to length so joints meet over blocking. Predrill and screw the plywood to the blocking and cabinet fronts with 1-5/8 in. screws.
Removing the old countertop can be easy if it's just screwed to cabinet corner braces (Photo 2) or tough if it's glued down. One peek inside the cabinets will tell you how it's secured. If it's glued down you'll have to pry it loose with a flat bar. It's best to pry from inside the cabinets to avoid damaging the finish.
The key to flat, long-lasting tile countertops is a solid plywood base. Thin cabinet sides or corner braces simply won't provide enough anchorage to hold the plywood flat and stable. After the tops are removed, you'll have to build up cabinet edges with 1x4 or 2x4 blocking along cabinet backs, ends and areas where plywood splices will fall (Photos 3 and 4).
Cut the 3/4-in. plywood underlayment to length so it splices over blocking using the factory edge of the plywood in the front for straight nosings. Cut plywood to length to fit flush with finished cabinet ends and 1 in. short of cabinets that butt against appliances like stoves or refrigerators.
Lumberyard Materials
It's not hard to estimate your lumberyard purchased materials.
Here's what you need:
- 3/4-in. plywood underlayment: You'll need a full sheet of 3/4-in. plywood for every 8 ft. of countertop.
- Tile backer: Buy a 32" x 60" sheet of Denshield (or cement board if Denshield is not available) for every five lineal ft. of counter.
- 1x4 cabinet blocking: Pick up enough 1x4s and 2x4s to line the top of the cabinet backs, cabinet ends and areas where plywood splices will occur (Photos 3 and 4).
- 1x3 backsplash trim cap: Buy enough 1x3 trim lumber that matches your cabinets along with the necessary stain and finish to cap off the finished backsplash (Photos 11, 16 and Fig. A).
- One 1-lb. box of 1-in. roofing nails for nailing down the Denshield.
- One 1-lb. box of 2-in. screws for securing the plywood to the cabinets and the 1x4 to the wall studs.
Step 4: Use cement board or Denshield for the tile backing
Photo 6: Cut the tile backer
Rip 3-1/2 in. wide 3/4-in. plywood backsplash strips and screw them to the wall with two 2-in. drywall screws into each stud. Score and snap the tile backer to fit flush with the plywood edges. Span over sink openings and mark the underside with a pencil, then flip it over and cut out the opening with a jigsaw.
Photo 7: Spread a layer of thinset
Mix and spread a 1/8-in. layer of thinset mortar over the plywood base with a 1/4-in. notched trowel. Embed the Denshield in the thinset and nail it to the plywood with 1-in. shingle nails spaced every 6 in. on edges and every 8 in. across the face. Spread thinset over the backsplash and edges and screw on strips of tile backer with 1-1/4 in. drywall screws.
You're probably already familiar with cement tile backer board, which is completely acceptable, but a gypsum-based material called "Denshield" (Photo 6) is also a great choice for countertop tile bases. It has a gypsum core like drywall, but the core and the sheathing have been modified to repel moisture and accept a tile overlay with conventional bonding adhesives. If you've ever struggled with cutting and installing cement board, you'll appreciate working with Denshield. It's lightweight and you cut, snap, rasp and fasten it exactly like standard drywall. It's sold throughout the country, and home centers usually stock the 32 in. x 60 in. sheets—the best size for countertops.
Splice the Denshield wherever you wish, but keep in mind that all of the splices and the outside and inside corners need to be taped with fiberglass mesh tape and a thin layer of thinset (Photo 8), so avoid using lots of little pieces.
Figure B: Building and Using the Tile Mitering Gig
This miter jig will fit on most tile saws, but it may need alteration for some models. See Fig. B for the cutting sizes of the mitering-jig components. Use any flat 1/2-in. plywood for the jig. A table saw is the tool to use. Cut the parts, then spread exterior-grade woodworker's glue on the edges and tack them together with 1-in. nails.
Rest the jig on a flat table and clamp a tile to the angled jig surface with the bottom of the tile resting on the tabletop. Then rest the narrow stop block against the top of the tile and glue and tack it to the jig.
Positioning the jig and clamping it securely are crucial for consistent miters. The objective is to get a perfectly even miter that ends right at the edge of the 1/16-in. factory cut micro-bevel on the tile edge. You'll have to make some fine adjustments. Cut some test tiles with the jig and make the fine adjustments until you're satisfied. Use rejects for the rear row of tiles with the bad edge against the backsplash.
The jig is set up only for full tiles. If you need to cut bevels on narrower pieces like at countertop ends, mark those tiles during layout and cut them before cutting the tiles to width.
Step 5: Laying out the tile
Photo 9: Make cuts using your mitering jig
Set up your mitering jig (see Fig. B) and cut a sample nosing piece and a countertop tile for the tile layout. Clamp the jig so the blade cuts just shy of the factory micro-bevel. Make a test cut, then remove the tile and make sure the bevel is even. Adjust the jig and re-cut if necessary.
Photo 11: Begin at the outside corner
Lay the full tile near the countertop end and adjust its placement by holding the mitered nosing strip against it. Draw a pencil line along the back of the tile onto the tile backer. Mark all of the ends of the countertops and snap chalk lines to mark the back edges of the front row of tile. Cut and finish the backsplash trim board. Nail it to the top of the plywood backsplash board with 8d finish nails spaced every 8 in.
Photo 12: Lay out the tiles
Dry-lay tile (no adhesive) from an inside corner of the countertop, spacing the tiles 1/8-in apart. When you're working on the sink counter, lay tile from the corner to the sink opening and then begin laying tile from the other end. Cut filler tiles to fit in the middle of the sink where they won't be so obvious.
Photo 14: Laying the tiles
Spread thinset with a 1/4-in. notched trowel in front of the line for the front row of mitered tiles. Use a nosing tile to gauge overhangs and embed the tile. Use your eye to keep consistent 1/8-in. grout spaces between the tiles as you lay them. Every few tiles nudge a 4-ft. level against the tile fronts to ensure perfect alignment. Spread thinset and lay the back row of tile, keeping the grout lines aligned with those of the front row. Allow thinset to set up overnight before starting the nosing. Tip: Tape cardboard or paper over cabinet fronts to protect them.
After the tile base is in place, spend some time dry-laying the tile to work out the best-looking top. Inside corners are critical because the grout lines have to align in two different directions. So start at inside corners and work your way towards the countertop ends. Spacers aren't necessary, because you can easily eyeball the 1/8-in. grout lines for both dry-laying and the actual installation. On the countertop section containing the sink, work from both ends toward the sink. That way, you can custom cut one or more shorter tiles near the center of the sink where they won't be as noticeable (Photo 12).
Another advantage to laying out the tile ahead of time is that you'll know if you have enough tiles, and you can mark the backs of tiles (write on masking tape) that need special cuts like narrower tiles at countertop ends or in the middle of the sink. Also mark the tiles that need 45-degree angle cuts and the outside corner tiles.
Tile saws are a watery mess. If you're cutting in the house, make a temporary tile saw water-containing workstation out of plastic sheeting, 2x2s and a piece of plywood for a splash guard.
When you're marking your cuts, remember that cutting lines are hard to see or wash off in the tile saw, so mark cuts with masking tape instead.
Nosing and Backsplash Cuts
Cut miters on all countertop front and end tiles (outside corner tiles need miters on adjacent edges; see Photo 11), then cut miters on opposite ends of half that quantity for the nosing. Cut the nosing tiles 2 in. wide. Use the leftover sections for the backsplash.
Step 6: Avoiding bumps in the road
Here are some of the major things to be aware of so your countertop project will be as smooth as polished tile:
- Before you pull your sink and trash your old counters, get all of your materials together, including the tiles, which may have to be special ordered.
- If you're replacing the sink and/or faucet, get those in your hands too. After the plywood is down, use the old sink or the template from the new one and lay it out exactly where it goes to make sure it'll fit between the inside of the cabinet and the outside of the finished backsplash. If clearance is an issue, you can use thinner backsplash underlayment, or, if it comes right down to it, you can even thinset the tile directly to the drywall. But you may have to cut thin tile strips for the back edge of wider counters.
- Make sure you leave plenty of space for appliances. With the stove or refrigerator pulled out, it's easy to hang counters too far so appliances won't fit back into their homes between the new countertop edges. Most appliance openings between cabinets are sized exactly, so you'll have to keep finished edges flush with the cabinet end (Fig. A). You can saw those nosing pieces narrower than the others (Photo 16). Don't beat yourself up mitering nosings in areas that'll be hidden.
Other Edge Treatments
Our mitered nosing technique is just one option for finishing the front edges of stone tile countertops, but the truth is that the pros use several different methods. The tile underlayment techniques we show are similar for all three methods shown below. Here's a rundown of three of the most common edge treatments.
WOOD EDGING: If you're used to working with wood, this edge is by far the fastest and easiest of all methods. Before installing any tile, rip 1x3 wood that matches your cabinetry down to 2 in. wide, then rout the outside corner with any profile you wish. Leave off the Denshield nosing strip so you can glue and nail the nosing directly to the plywood. Sand and stain the wood then cut it to fit and fasten it to the plywood with construction adhesive and 3-in. finish nails driven into the plywood core. Use tiles and add another 1/16 in. to allow for the tile thinset to gauge how far the wood edge should project above the countertop surface so the wood and the finished tile top will be flush. Finish with three coats of polyurethane. Fill the grout line between the wood and the tile with matching caulk rather than grout or a crack will eventually develop between the wood and the tile.
OVERLAPPING TILE EDGES: As you can see, the front edge of the top tiles overhangs the nosing tiles, so the exposed, unfinished edge needs to be polished (we cut a simple 45-degree chamfer with the mitering jig, but you can leave it square too). This technique works best for marble or limestone tops because the material is soft enough to finish with an orbital sander and progressive grits of 100, 150 and 220 silicon-carbide or aluminum-oxide sandpaper. Begin by installing the countertop tiles first, overhanging the front edges using the same technique described above. Then polish the edges with a 4" grinder fitted with a marble-polishing disk and install the narrow front pieces as we show in the main story.
BULLNOSED EDGES: This is by far the trickiest method because it takes skill to freehand consistent edges with a right-angle grinder. Check around to find a stone fabricator who uses special machinery to bullnose individual tiles. Lay out the tiles as shown in Photo 12, then mark the tiles that require edging. The downside of this method is that you won't be able to finish your counters for several days while you're waiting for the fabricator to finish. So it's a good idea to lay out the tile on the old countertop and take the tile in for grinding before the demolition work starts.
Step 7: Finishing touches
Photo 17: Grout the stone
Mix unsanded grout to the consistency of peanut butter and work it into the grout lines with a grout float. Use diagonal swipes across the gaps for good penetration. Sponge off the excess grout with a damp sponge, rinsing it frequently in clean water. After the grout dries overnight, buff off the haze with a clean cotton cloth.
One downside of any tile countertop is the potential for grout to get stained by food or beverages. We recommend two coats of grout sealant applied about a week after grouting.
Also, an ordinary wall backdrop can drag down a beautiful countertop. While all of the tools are at your fingertips, consider tiling adjoining walls. We used various-sized tiles of tumbled and honed (matte finished) limestone along with a metallic tile listel to finish the wall above the backsplash.

text: Lyman Beecher (1775-1863), Congregational and Presbyterian clergyman, revivalist and social reformer, was President of Lane Theological Seminary, and in addition was one of the most famous preachers in America during his day. Educated at Yale and licensed as a Congregationalist, Lyman was active in Presbyterian churches for nearly his entire life. Lyman published on a variety of topics aimed at spreading Christianity and combating what he considered religious and political atheism. Lyman's voluntary efforts, designed to restrict social ills, together with his influence from Charles Finney, led him to the belief that individuals possessed a free will. The result of this adjustment was a modification of the Calvinism he had received from an earlier generation. This endeavor met with strong resistance, and in 1835 he was tried for heresy on the grounds that he had departed from the Westminster Confession of Faith. He was subsequently cleared of the charges and resumed his ministerial and administrative duties. Many of Lyman's reform efforts were continued by the next generation, including two of his children, Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and Henry Ward Beecher, the Congregational minister. For further reading see V. Harding, A Certain Magnificence: Lyman Beecher and the Transformation of American Protestantism, 1775-1863 (Carlson, 1991).

Brevard, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados fell to the Wingate Bulldogs in four sets in Boshamer Gymnasium on Tuesday night, 25-19, 25-12, 20-25, 25-19.
Susie Murach posted 13 kills at a .310 hitting percentage to lead the Bulldogs. Anna Hilton and Lexi Potter combined for 20 kills to help Wingate win their 12th consecutive match.
The first set saw the scored tied seven times, but Wingate closed the match on a 12-7 run to gain the late edge.
The Bulldogs won the first seven points in the second set, and eventually took a 15-3 lead. As a team, Wingate hit .333 in the commanding victory.
Brevard responded by taking the third set, thanks to a 4-0 run by the Tornados with the game tied at 15-15. Kortney Conner finished the set with a kill, and the Tornados hit .318 as a team to earn the set win.
The fourth set started off with the two teams trading points until Wingate went on a 6-0 run to take a 14-9 lead. Brevard couldn't recover, and a BC service error sealed the win for the Bulldogs.
Fatima Gharachorloo led the way for the Tornados with 12 kills and nine digs. Conner was another key contributor for BC, also chipping in nine and 11 kills at a .258 hitting percentage.
BC continues their home stand as they host the Carson-Newman Eagles on Thursday, November 1st at 6:30 p.m. Wingate returns to action Friday, November 2nd to host the Newberry Wolves at 7 p.m.

No water, exclusive breastfeeding
I have read that breastmilk is 90% water if i am not mistaken..... so is it safe or ok for me not to give water after every breastfeeding? Also, when we say "exclusive" breastfeeding, does it mean no other liquids will be given? Except for breastmilk alone? Not even water?
25th October 2013 05:30 AM #2
Dear nadinne,
Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended (by the World Health Organisation) for the first six months of life. You are right, this means that you do not need to give your baby any other food or liquid. You don't need to give your baby water. Your breastmilk will give your baby everything they need.
How old is your baby?
From 6 months of age, when a baby is developmentally ready, you can start to introduce other food to your baby although breastmilk should still be their main source of nutrients for the first 12 months of life. Once your baby is six months old you can give them a little bit of expressed breastmilk or water when they have their meals. Have you heard about baby led weaning. It is a fun, healthy and developmentally-appropriate way of giving babies solid food (from 6 months) without the need to liquidise or mush it.
It is important that you breastfeed your baby on demand, in the day and night, particularly for the first six months of life. This is because breastmilk works on a supply and demand basis so you need to put your baby to the breast often enough in order to produce enough breastmilk for your baby.
Please do post back if you have any further questions about this.
Well done for giving your baby Nature's Perfect Milk,
Warm wishes,

Ok, water is no longer needed.
Thank you, i havent heard of baby led weaning yet, its my first time to hear it, i have to research about it first. I'll probably come back and asked questions about it if i have a hard time understanding it.
Thank you very much!
13th November 2013 07:15 AM #4
Yes that's right - just breastmilk for the first 6 months of life and nothing else. The way nature intended
Please do write back when you come to the weaning stage (from 6 months) with any questions you have or, indeed, if you need any further breastfeeding support before then.
You are doing a great job!
Warm wishes,

Did you know?
Operation Phoenix, which brought over 8000 wild animals to Madikwe, remains unparalleled in scale.
There's a three-way partnership that makes Madikwe Game Reserve in the North West province the success that it is.
The state conserves the land and the animals, private enterprise runs the lodges, and the surrounding local community benefits through jobs and levies.
There are about 20 Madikwe lodges, and staying in any of them is a prerequisite to visiting Madikwe Game Reserve, since no day visitors are allowed.
And there's a wide and interesting variety to choose from in this stunning malaria-free reserve.
Mateya, for example, epitomises the absolute height of luxury. And in addition to a wine cellar that a prince might be proud of, it is also a showcase of some significant African art. Also expect wi-fi connections, personal plunge pools and orchid arrangements.
At the other end of the range you get Masetlha, an eco-lodge where the only air conditioning comes through the open-topped walls. Here you feel completely within nature. Your food is cooked on an open fire. You have safari-style bucket showers. All the emphasis is on a low-impact, direct experience of nature.
Then you get other popular notables like Buffalo Ridge and Thakadu River Camp, which are 100% owned by local communities. Also that effortlessly stylish Jaci's Tree Lodge, which looks like Bali-marries-Africa. Jaci's Safari Lodge, right next to Jaci's Tree Lodge, is especially wonderful if you're going with your family. Even the youngest of kids is catered for here.
There are more than a dozen others, each special in some way: Impodimo, Madikwe Hills, Madikwe River Lodge, Royal Madikwe, Makanyane, Motswiri, Rhulani, The Bush House, Tuningi, Etali, Jamala Madikwe, Molori, Morukuru and Tau.
But what they all have in common is this: all these businesses benefit from the state's conservation of animals (the Big Five included, plus the elusive wild dog), and they also benefit from a pool of highly satisfied employees. Staying in this game reserve guarantees very friendly service and good game sightings.
You'll also see animals here that are often difficult to see anywhere else. Apart from savannah game (including the Big Five), you'll find springbok, brown hyena and other specials like wild dogs and cheetah.
Of all uses for the land considered for this area in the early 1990s, conservation and tourism have definitely supplied something very close to the best possible solution. In terms of prosperity, general contentment and jobs, Madikwe has delivered far beyond what anyone could have projected.

How to get here
Madikwe is four hours' drive from Johannesburg or Pretoria. Head for Rustenburg via the Hartbeespoort Dam. From Rustenburg, take the N4, passing through Swartruggens to Zeerust. In Zeerust, take the road signposted R47 to Gaborone and Madikwe Game Reserve. After 85km, turn in at the Abjaterskop gate.
Note that this is just one of several gates. Be sure to enquire from the lodge you are staying at for more detailed directions (some lodges in the south, for instance, don't recommend you go through Rustenburg).
Best time to visit
Each season has its delights. Bear in mind, though, that Madikwe can be startlingly cold in mid-winter (May to August) and very hot in mid-summer (December to February).
Around the area
If you're looking for a total contrast, Madikwe isn't far from the gambling and entertainment Sun City complex in South Africa. Madikwe is also conveniently close to Gaborone, the capital of Botswana. It makes an excellent part of a route between Johannesburg and environs and Botswana.
Get around
Once you're in the reserve and booked into a lodge, you'll be driven around in a 4x4 game vehicle.
What will it cost
Depending on where you're staying, rates vary between approx R1800 and R8700 per person per night. These are inclusive of meals and game drives.
If you can leave it to the last minute, phone around to enquire for prices - many lodges will offer cheaper rates for late bookings.
Length of stay
Three nights would be ideal.

Eight Distros a Week: Wolvix GNU/Linux 1.1 Hunter

As the auto commercials say, your mileage may vary. NOTE: This is an edited version of an earlier blog item on the same topic.]
All you '80s denizens get the blog's title, no doubt, but unless you spent that decade glued to MTV, the reference may be lost. But with a wink and a nod to those who still admit to being Duran Duran fans (of which I have to say I am not, nor have I ever been), I've been feeling a little wolflike lately, hungry or otherwise, thanks to a recent distro foray.
Being the happy distro wanderer that I am, I had a chance to put Wolvix 1.1.0 GNU/Linux, the Hunter version, on a Dell Inspiron 5000 laptop, and it easily enters into the group of distros that I think highly of, in general, and distros that I plan to use day to day, in particular.
Based on Slackware, Wolvix Hunter comes with a pretty wide array of "standard software" that provide the user with an assortment that, in some distros, you have to go get. For my purposes, getting gFTP and Bluefish — two programs I use a lot — without having to use a software updater to get them is a definite plus. Additionally, the number of items that come with Wolvix on the live CD download is probably the best, well-rounded selection of software I've encountered on a live CD.
But the most impressive item on this distro — other than it's faster than I had expected on this Pentium III — is the Wolvix Control Panel. Chock full of every imaginable item you might need for maintenance and upkeep, the panel efficiently puts everything in one place.
Another plus is the Conky system monitor. Having encountered this first on the Fluxbox desktop on AntiX 6.5 Spartacus, I often wonder why this program isn't more well-known or widely used. Geeky, perhaps, but still something that provides some vital — or at least interesting — information about what's going on under the hood.
Overall, Wolvix gets high marks and is definitely worth a try.
