I have all of the plumber's tools, including the asbestos running rope. The last lead joint I poured was 3 years ago.
Let me tell you my furnace and pot will get lead from cold to pouring temp. in about 7 minutes.
I use gloves when ladle or mold handles get too hot or adding lead to the pot, but do wash hands in cold water, which closes the pores, when finished.
The old plumber from whom I got the tools told me a story about his helper reclaiming lead and throwing some lead that had water in it in the pot . It sent hot lead all over the windshield of his van, which pitted the glass. Luckily no one got splashed.
Just yesterday I got given 165# of old lead pipe.

Mantle provides some gains, but it's not the revolution as advertised.
AMD and Eidos pushed out an update for Thief Tuesday morning that gives the game support for AMD's new Mantle API as well as its TrueAudio platform.
In order to use Mantle and True Audio, gamers will have to have a graphics card that has a compatible GCN GPU such as R9 290X, R9 290, or R7 260X along with the latest drivers. Gamers that have purchased Thief via Steam will have their copies auto-updated.
But the big question is, what sort of gains are derived from using AMD's much-hyped API?
VR-Zone has yet to independently benchmark Thief and Mantle, but benchmarks from around the web show that Mantle is only useful for low-end machines. Gaming enthusiasts with high-end machines won't see much of a difference.
Benchmarking done by AnandTech with a Radeon R9 290X shows that gamers with a high-end machine will see a performance bump of approximately five percent (72.7 FPS with DirectX vs. 76.3 with Mantle), while a gamer using a low-end CPU such as an i3 will see the biggest gain at approximately 36 percent (49.4 FPS vs. 73.5). When using the slower R7 260X, DirectX clocks in as being slightly faster at 31.6 FPS to Mantle's 30.5 on high settings. On the lowest settings Mantle is slightly faster at 55.4 FPS instead of DirectX's 44.3.
While it shows that Mantle does offer something of a performance boost, this isn't the revolution as advertised. With Microsoft likely announcing a DirectX revolution — perhaps bringing it to the "low level" like Mantle — at the upcoming Game Developer's Conference, AMD may be facing a very competitive market in the near future.

ATLANTA -- Sen. Max Cleland says he expects a tough re-election fight next year, and Georgia Republicans are itching to give him one, although his announced challengers are little known throughout the state.
The upstart GOP Senate candidates are trying to paint Cleland as a liberal Democrat who is out of touch with Georgia voters.
''Max Cleland thinks the Boy Scouts are public enemy No. 1,'' claims Calder Clay, a Bibb County Commissioner. State Sen. Phil Gingrey, says Cleland is ''too liberal for Georgia.''
''Outside the mainstream,'' is the way state Rep. Bob Irvin describes Cleland.
All cite a voting record they say is closer to Sen. Ted Kennedy's than to Sen. Sam Nunn, whose seat Cleland took over five years ago, or fellow Democratic Sen. Zell Miller.
Cleland said he knows he'll have to defend his voting record and he's ready. ''I feel very moderate and middle of the road, and I think that's basically where Georgians are.''
Attacking a Georgia Democrat's voting record as liberal is a pretty standard attack by Republican opponents, said University of Georgia political science professor Charles Bullock.
''It's devastating if voters begin to believe it, but what we know is that simply because (state GOP chairman) Ralph Reed or some other Republican claims a candidate is too liberal, doesn't make it so,'' he said. ''There has to be enough evidence to sustain that claim.''
But Cleland's record likely includes enough votes to help them make the case, he said.
Clay, who has raised more than $500,000 for the race, said Cleland's votes show ''he'd be a great senator for New York or Massachusetts but not for Georgia.''
Among other things, he cited Cleland's vote against withholding federal funds from school districts that deny use of their facilities to the Boy Scouts because of the organization's exclusion of homosexuals. Miller voted to withhold the funds.
Clay said he's heard from many Scouting supporters who ''cannot understand why their senator would not support an organization such as the Boy Scouts. I plan to be their best friend.''
Cleland said he voted against the measure because he didn't think Washington should dictate that type policy to local schools.
''I voted for local schools to make that decision. Here, they wanted to federalize the decision,'' he said.
Cleland also argued the measure was ''put forward as a deliberate wedge issue. It had everything to do with politics and nothing to do with the Boy Scouts.''
''Yeah, they're wedge issues,'' said the University of Georgia's Bullock. ''That's why parties focus on them. They tend to work. There's going to be a battle over that. There are enough elements within his voting record ... (that) they're going to have some success in convincing voters he voted liberally at times.''
Cleland won in 1996 with only a 30,000-vote margin out of more than 2.2 million votes cast. ''Campaigns & Elections'' magazine, a publication read by political consultants, puts his re-election chances at 57.1 percent.
''It will probably be the most bitter Senate race we've ever seen,'' Cleland predicted last week. ''Nationally, Republicans want this seat very badly. They'll do anything to get it. I'm targeted by the White House and by Senate Republicans.''
Bullock said he sees Cleland as ''potentially in trouble'' but added, ''There's that old adage that you can't beat somebody with nobody.'' Of the three GOP candidates raising money now, ''none of them have anything approaching statewide name recognition.''
Cleland, 58, has plenty of that. A Vietnam War triple amputee, Cleland was a state senator from 1971 to 1974, headed the Veterans Administration under Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1980 and was Georgia's Secretary of State from 1983 to 1995.
Even so, Reed, the state GOP chairman, says Cleland ''is one of the five to six most vulnerable Democratic incumbents in the nation. He won this seat very narrowly. He campaigned as a centrist but frankly has voted as a liberal ... We consider this a top priority.''
David Worley, the state Democratic chairman, said Georgia voters know Cleland ''as a mainstream politician who really agrees with their views on most issues'' and won't be fooled by GOP attacks. ''I'm sure they'll spend a huge amount of money ... but we have a lot of resources, too, and we're certainly going to put them in this race.''

Ok, at long last, I can share some pics with you guys of the project that basically started last year when we got a microburst that wrecked my garden with hail and took down a large pine. Several kind DG'er sent me hosta to use in a new bed that would be where the tree fell. Unfortunately, getting the tree out of there took all of the summer and into the fall, so the bed had to wait to be built til this Spring.
I designed it with two tiers to go up the slope. Because I have neither the money to buy lots of stones to build the walls, nor the talent or patience to stack them all nice and secure, I devised a plan to make my own faux rocks using a foam covered concrete block I cast, and then used hypertufa on the face to carve the "rocks". I just wanted it to blend in with the other areas of natural stone, which I think it does nicely. It took a while to figure it all out, but I'm happy with it, though it's not entirely done.
Here is a pic from last year, with the fallen tree. It was massive.
The new bed- part one!
Ok, at long last, I can share some pics with you guys of the project that basically started last year when we got a microburst that wrecked my garden with hail and took down a large pine. Several kind DG'er sent me hosta to use in a new bed that would be where the tree fell. Unfortunately, getting the tree out of there took all of the summer and into the fall, so the bed had to wait to be built til this Spring.
Closer shot of the first tier. I may have these too tightly spaced but will leave it for now.
In there is Shimmy Shake (gift from IC conifers- great serrated edge and cool purply red scapes that really show as you walk up the slope and see it from underneath
the blue one is one I picked up last year- Silver Moon. Increased phenomenally in just one year. I think I have only the second known photograph of it, lol. Seriously, google it and tell me how many different pics you can find! All the info I find about mature size varies widely. It will probably be too large for this spot, ultimately, judged on what I'm seeing in my garden.
Green and white is Risky Business (gift from LeBug)- Love the crispness of this one! This is one I may keep dividing to keep it smaller..not sure.
Far left behind the green one is Popcorn, from Rose-
All green is Worldly Treasure, which I've had for a few years
And the minis are my languishing Pandora's Box, Dragon tails (gift from Beaux!) and BLue Lollipop.
The upper bed is to be planted with larger varieties.. I want this whole thing to just be a dense cascade of hosta when it's all done:
Pineapple Upside down cake (gift from Eleven. Eleven also gave me some Astrantia which I am super excited to see bloom- I think I have a bud on there. I think the Astrantia will go in the upper tier, too.
Blue Umbrellas
Plantaginea from Pirl
Whirlwind from Frank
Lady Isobel Barnett from Bellie
Brother Stefan from Beaux
and Krossa Regal from LeBug
It may be a week or so before I get that upper tier in....lugging the soil up the slope is a killer.
I absolutely love all the plants that people sent me last year and am so grateful to have them. I will keep you posted as I go along with this.
That looks soooooo nice. Your faux stonework is incredible. It is really nice to see the new addition to your garden after what you went through last year. What do you use on your rockwork to make it look aged like real stone?
Noreaster, I still love all your fake stones =) And I bet they're easier to move than my real ones!
I LOVE the fake stones. Would be interested in a photo tutorial. Did you take pics of the process?
Should say the hostas look very happy too.
Frank, the after I do the hypertufa part, I let them cure and dry a little bit, then I spray them with concrete acid stain...that makes the color blend really well with the natural rock. Ideally, they will grow moss in time like a lot of my hypertufa pots have, if they get enough shade.
Ann, I did not photograph the process, but I still have a couple more to make-- I loved them so much that I want to revamp one of my earlier stone walls around my dalylilies. That will probably be the last project for the year. I will take pictures of that whole process and post them. The hardest part was figuring out the mold for my cast form and thinking three dimensionally after working out the design on my computer. Carving the rock shapes was fun and became easier and better as I went along. The less I thought about it, the better they looked.
Eleven, yes, these blocks are much lighter than real stone!! They have a hollow channel in the center that we drove a piece of rebar into for support, since the lower wall is 17" high at the highest point. My wonderful Father in Law helped me with some of that part.
I used some of my leftover blocks to refine the shape of this small bed and add some white Hakone grass
I am sorry for your loss, (tree). I love the new beds you have created, you have great friends who share their plants and you have worked hard. I absolutely love the stones you have created, what a great idea! They say 'Necessity is the mother of invention' and you sure have proved that. I cannot lift the real stones either. I think I would like to try and make some stones myself do you have any suggestions on where to start, what do I need besides Styrofoam and concrete. How did you shape them without a mold ?
It was sad to lose such a mature tree, but it did give me a nice shot of morning light and open the door for more hosta! I'll try to post some tutorial pics soon- I think I will make some over the weekend and I'll photograph all the steps.
Thanks a whole lot Noreaster, I am going to start documenting what Hostas I have on my have list, let me know if you ever need anything.
I just saw this thread. you must have a big lot unlike ours which is very limited. I see rocks all over so you must have tons of rocks like Rhode Island.
I did not see Lady Isobel? How is she doing?
You put in a lot of time making your garden look pretty!!! I wake up at 5 AM every morning to feed the kois , make rounds and repot or plant.
Beautiful garden!!!!
Yes, That morning sun will prove to be a plus. I like the way you put the three blues together. How is the Hakone Grass working out, have you used it before? Does it like the shade or did you do this after the morning sun showed it's face?
bellieg, She made the rocks !!!
I know the new beds are faux, but the back of the yard are rocks--boulders. Just curious because it is expensive to buy rocks here.
Bellie, I think Noreaster said in another thread that the real stones are from the surrounding land. I'm lucky enough to have a lot of real stones that the previous homeowners bought. Of course, they also shoveled in gravel by the truckload that I'm still digging out of some beds...
noreaster that is a great home to your hosta! the fake stone looks good too - although nothing like the real stuff:) will help keeping critters from making the wall a place to live though.
Yeah, they do look real. Great looking garden!
That's amazing! We had a microburst here about 10 years ago so I know how devastating it can be to a garden and trees. But that's the beauty of nature and gardening, you've made something amazing out of a tragedy! And I hope you got some free mulch out of that poor old tree. ;) love your gardens. Great inspiration for my new gardens. I'll have to see about hypertuffa classes, they were having some at my local nursery
Noreaster, that all looks incredibly cool--talk about triumph over tragedy! I love your faux stones. They seem like they must be a lot of work, but man are the results ever worth it. Absolutely amazing.
I hate to gloss over the new beds, but that hypertufa work is awesome and I'm in agreement with wanting to see the tutorial!
HERE IS A TUTORIAL, I got the link from a local nursery !
Thanks for the link, Virginiarose! That was a cool video. I'm feeling like making a few pots now, if not necessarily stones. :)
Yeah, I'm excited too! I feel like I could make anything! Can't wait to get started! :)

The coalition announced its plan to significantly decrease the number of animals being used in experiments following a post-election pledge.
However, campaigners have pointed out that there were few measures that would genuinely reduce the number of experiments, branding the report a "whitewash".
The Government's most recent figures show there has been an increase of 8% in animal testing with 4.1 million experiments in one year.
The "reduce, replace, refine" strategy, which has been dubbed the "3rs", has been devised by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), the Home Office and the Department of Health.
Universities and Science Minister David Willetts said: "Animals are only used when there are no suitable alternatives. But the results we get from research can transform lives and pave the way for new and groundbreaking medical advances.
"By encouraging new cutting-edge approaches to science we will not only improve standards of animal welfare but also reduce costs to industry."
The Government says that £35m has been invested to try to support work to bring down the number of animal tests.
Dr Nick Palmer, of the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection, told Sky News the plan was a "whitewash" and it was not actually about reducing numbers.
He said more investment was needed in alternative ways of research using computers and cell cultures and called for greater transparency in the sort of experimentation being carried out.
Dr Palmer said: "What we are talking about is serious. We are talking about animals who are poisoned, animals that are deliberately given so many electric shocks that they learn that they are helpless, that they are going to be hurt again and again and there is nothing they can do about it. That's in order to test stress.
"And we are talking about animals who are reportedly nearly drowned again to test their reaction to stress."
Dr Bella Williams, of the charity Understanding Animal Research, said investment in alternatives was being made and that there were some areas of research in which only animal testing would yield scientific breakthroughs.
She said: "For us it's important that you reduce the number of situations where patients are going into their doctor's and receiving a diagnosis for a disease and being told there is nothing that can be done about it."

Once I found out that my husband had been acting out ( primarily with prostitutes ) for more than half of our marriage ( 25 years ) I felt paralyzed with fear that I might have contracted some kind of disease , angry, bitter and heartbroken that the man I loved could do this to me. After recovering from my shock , an acquaintance told me about ARC an , in desperation, I called and made an appointment. My husband reluctantly agreed to attend Session 1 with me to see what it was about. His reluctance stemmed from the fact that he was still in extreme denial about accepting the fact that he was being labeled " a sex addict". He felt that apologizing and saying he would never do it again would get everything back to " normal " !! After a couple of sessions I knew that the ARC program was where I needed to be. I started developing a network of support and found out that I was not alone in all of this Eventually, my husband dropped out of the program and chose to live his life in denial. My Therapist and Leader of the ARC group, encouraged me to continue so that I could work on my co-dependent behavior. The program was designed to help me regain my self-esteem, to let go of the anger that I was carrying around, my disgust of my spouse and my feelings of betrayal. It was a complicated recovery process, but an important one for my own healing. I had to learn to deal with all the issues that related to me rather than obsessing on my partner's addiction. I stayed with the Program and completed it after 2 1/2 years. I feel that this Program saved my sanity. I was finally able to get over my anger and move forward in a healthy way. I'm grateful for the knowledge and understanding that has come into my life, because now I feel more confident and assertive, and I actually like myself. My husband continued with his addiction and we divorced. I had to grieve the loss of my marriage and learn to go on living a happier, healthier and more productive life. The Addiction Recovery Center showed me that after a lot of hard work on MYSELF that I could once again be happy using a different set of rules and that I had to understand that life is not lived by hindsight. I did what I knew to do and sometimes with great ignorance, but now I know the difference and ARC and all it's wonderful Therapists showed me how to begin again.
The Addiction Recovery Center is the best Intensive Outpatient Program in our area that treats sexual addiction and the trauma that partners endure. My clients that have gone through the program have gained a great deal in their personal growth, recovery from sexual addiction, and marital repair and reinvention.
The Addiction Recovery Center (ARC) is led by a licensed team of experienced Certified Sex Addiction Therapists (CSAT). The program serves as a supplement (not a substitute) for the 12-step program.
Although the director claims that you get treated for sexual addiction through ARC, I found the program to introduce tools to help me stay sober. The program is divided into three phases. After the first phase, I was placed in a small group of men with a CSAT, which served as a weekly accountability group as well as support group.
We were given various homework assignments and exercises to learn more about ourselves and the origins of our addictions.

if I have to have a partial neck dissection. Im creating a second post to my thoughts post. Seems the ENT will want to do another exam after the results of my PET scan, seems the SUV count (SUV count is picked up on the PET and I googled it, very confusing but seems to be related to many possibilities)
Dec 27, 2012 - 7:46 pm
As I said, I had a full radical neck disection a number of years ago. Incision from mastoid to clavical, and across neck as well. Sixty six nodes removed as well as sternomastoid muscle. Three drains, which were removed a couple of days post op. You won't have anything like this extensive an operation. Mine hurt a fair amount for one day, not nearly as much on the second day, and the third day I went home. I was off work for two weeks, then back to work full time. This surgery wasn't anything near as hard as the radiation. Not even close.
Dec 27, 2012 - 7:59 pm
for responding.
Dec 28, 2012 - 2:43 am
It varies from person to person. The pain I experienced wasn't bad (this was my last cancer treatment, after a tonsillectomy as an adult, then induction chemo, then chemo rads).
As always, effects vary. As I recovered from the surgery, I discovered I had limited movement of my neck, shoulder, and right arm (side where nodes were removed). I highly recommend you schedule physical therapy after surgery - seems to me folks who do "real" therapy do better. I had tender/numb/odd areas from near the top of my head (all on the right side) to the back, including my ear, jaw, lower face, neck, upper chest, shoulder, and top of right arm. My smile was obviously lopsided, and I noticed my face is now assymetrical (I'm sure, though, that this is thanks to rads). When I would roll my head (gentle yoga class) or turn my head "too far", I'd get a pain that ran along the side of my face to the top of my head.
Two years out, I still have some limitations. BUT - I continue to make progress. I cannot raise my hand straight above my head unless I push it up with my left hand. From the forward lift, I can get almost as high as a Nazi salute (not that it comes in handy). After surgery, my movement was not nearly as good as now. Even a year ago, my movement at work when using a keyboard, and moving to mouse was obviously awkward and labored. It's MUCH better now - I don't think anyone would notice, but I can feel I'm still "off".
Wow - this looks bad - in reality, it's not as bad as it sounds here. I'm smiling now, and don't think anyone else would notice my smile is a little lopsided. I still feel tightness in my neck, but have very good range of motion. I'm still making progress.
For what it's worth, my arm's range of motion has been much better in the "down" position. I'm trying to make what I guess would be motions you'd make using a wheelchair. for me, this would have been iffy just after surgery. I'm sure though, that even if you end up with the same types of issues I did, some good physical therapy would help you progress much faster than I did.
I was only in the hospital three days, and only that long because I failed swallow tests at first. I could've gone home sooner if I'd done better swallowing (they threatened me with a new feeding tube, and I got with the program).
Dec 28, 2012 - 9:45 am
I can't contribute to the dissection topic....
But I can definitely offer my thoughts and prayers.

I can understand your concern, I would agree with what Longtermsurvivor (LTS) mentioned above. I had part of my tongue removed, radical neck disection with the SCM muscle removed, 3 drains like LTS, Trach, Peg Tube. This list is not to scare you, but to provide you the answers to your questions.
Like LTS, I was out of the hospital in 3 days basically, at no time was I ever in any pain. The pain med's kept that at bay. My only discomfort was the Trach as it would touch the back of my throat when I would fall asleep in the chair and my head fell forward.
Your concern about your strength in your arms is legit. I only lost partial strength on the right side where the SCM muscle was removed. I think you will still be able to use your crutches and wheelchair without to much difficulty, I think you will still have the strength to do this. My right side strength came back slowly by just doing everyday things around the house. I did later have an issue with swelling in my face and neck, due to the disection, which caused me to seek Physical Therapy from a Cancer Lymphadema Therapist. She had me do some more therapy for my right side arm strength while I was there for the Lymphadema treatments and lessons for the massages.
You can find a post of mine about Stretching and Massage Instructions in the Superthread at the top of the board if I don't do the link correctly.
My Best to You and Everyone Here

all for your replies, I pray Im ahead of myself on exactly what we will learn on Monday and if its something concerning or just an over active PET scan. If it was not for the ear ache almost 3 weeks straight now and neck ache would be less concerned. The ENT is planning on doing a scope and something about a biobsy but not sure how that works since I feel no lump which is what I had back in March when first dx which they took the biobsy. Its the waiting that takes its toll, but again thank you all for taking the time to give me your thoughts.
Dec 31, 2012 - 12:58 pm
Just back from ENT/ONC well the PET lit up with enough ? that they will be wanting to do a biopsy under antestesia in a few weeks to see if the cancer was not completely removed or simply returned. She then advised / described the neck surgery I would need if its cancer. SCARED yep, I just hope and pray its not cancer. REALLY Im tired just wanted it to e behind me (I realize Dah didnt we all so I apologize) but I guess I just know I will have to deal with it, anyway thanks again for FYI should the biopsy show surgery will be needed in letting me know what to expect.
Dec 31, 2012 - 1:14 pm
I had a biopsy of necrotic tissue under general anesthetic in November. the procedure itself was tolerable, because they knocked me out and I went home the same day. not pleasant, but tolerable. they did prepare me for the possibility of waking up with a trach if things didn't go well, but that didn't happen. pain following was also bearable--they gave me a script for tylenol with codiene and that got me through.
hoping yours comes back clean!

OTTAWA—A Conservative government aide to Toronto-area MP Eve Adams has lost his job amid an Elections Canada probe into fraudulent automated telephone calls that were aimed at suppressing opposition votes in the 2011 election.
Michael Sona, who last spring acted as communications director for Conservative candidate Marty Burke in Guelph, Ont., offered to step down as the politically damaging story unfolded Thursday. His resignation was accepted, said a source.
However as news of Sona's departure broke in Ottawa Friday, the Conservative Party of Canada and the Prime Minister's Office, which left open the possibility of a rogue individual party supporter acting without any party direction, denied any knowledge or involvement in Sona's resignation from Adams' office.
Word of Sona's exit comes as Liberal Leader Bob Rae requested an emergency debate to be held on the matter once the Commons resumes next week.
Rae wrote a letter to Speaker Andrew Scheer asking for a debate on "the disturbing reports of fraudulent robo-calls and voter suppression tactics used during the last general election."
"Liberals believe that the credibility of all Members of Parliament is undermined when allegations like this are made and the reputation of Parliament demands that these revelations are addressed in an urgent manner," said a party news release.
Sona's candidate, Burke, failed in his bid to unseat Liberal Frank Valeriote, but the campaign drew national attention when Sona was fingered for grabbing a ballot box in an effort to stop voting at a University of Guelph polling station — an allegation Sona and the Conservatives denied.
Sona's LinkedIn profile shows he worked after the election for about five months as a communications assistant for Fundy Royal MP Rob Moore, for whom he'd also worked prior to the election. He also worked for Heritage Minister James Moore for a four-month period in 2009.
He lists a B.A. in history, political science and economics from the University of Guelph.

David Masello on E.B. White:
Reading an essay by White is akin to exploring a Colonial-era house to which many wings have been added over the years. In a readerly walk-through, you take a step up or down, follow a dark hallway to a room that was once a porch, duck your head as you re-enter an original part of the house with wide-planked floors that slope. His windows would be the kind fitted with wavy, Bull's-Eye-glass panes that reveal what is beyond, but with an added dimension. His essays ramble in ways that make you want to follow along. He never strays far from the primary topic, and every detour he takes is compelling.

Party boat death: gardai probe continues after family identify body by tattoos
Body of Conal Gildea recovered from Grand Canal dock
A DONEGAL man who died after falling into the Liffey while attending a party on a floating bar had to be identified through his tattoos, Dublin Coroner's Court heard.
The body of Conal Gildea (25) from Carn in Ardara, Co Donegal, was recovered from the river at Britton Quay in Dublin's city centre by the Garda Water Unit on Monday, April 29 this year, two days after he had last been seen on the boat.
At the opening of the inquest into his death yesterday, Inspector Martin Mooney of Pearse Street Garda Station told the Dublin coroner that the matter is the subject of an "ongoing investigation which may lead to a criminal prosecution".
Requesting an adjournment of the inquest to facilitate the investigation, he confirmed that it is not a homicide issue but relates to issues of "supply". He said that a number of witnesses have yet to be interviewed.
The court heard that the dead man, who was a prominent member of his local community and a member of Ardara GAA club, was identified by his sister Sarah Gildea. She told the court that she confirmed identification after Gardaí showed her two photographs of tattoos, including one on her brother's right forearm which said "Only God Can Judge Me" and another six-year-old tattoo on his left abdomen. Ms Gildea said that her brother had been living with her at the time of his death and was completing the final weeks of a plumbing apprenticeship.
Coroner Dr Brian Farrell said that the post-mortem was carried out by deputy state pathologist Dr Michael Curtis who gave the cause of death as drowning. He told the family that there are "other issues" which he will be going into at a later date.
He adjourned the inquest for further mention on December 12 to allow time for Gardaí to continue their inquiries.

We already know that Guillermo Del Toro plans on having a number of actors from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy returning to reprise their roles in his two "The Hobbit" films (Ian McKellan and Andy Serkis will probably be back), but is one of them Viggo Mortensen? Yes, if Del Toro has his way. The director, who will be heading to New Zealand to shoot the two films back-to-back, tells Variety that he is currently reaching out to Mortensen, who played Aragorn in the three "Rings" films, on returning to the franchise that made him one of the world's biggest stars.
Variety breaks down the pre-production and returning casting engagements:
Pre-production is about to get under way on the two-part "Hobbit." Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are expected to pen the scripts under the direction of Peter Jackson and del Toro. Preliminary contact has already been made with at least three actors whose "Lord of the Rings" characters also appear in the "Hobbit" storyline: Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Andy Serkis (Gollum).
"We will all be involved in the script in some fashion but the exact definition is about a week away, " said del Toro. "I am all for keeping the actors who originated the parts, as much as availability and their willingness will allow."
McKellen and Serkis have already mentioned elsewhere that they'd love to return, and it's probably a sure bet they will. Mortensen, on the other hand, is a pretty hot item right now, so he might be a little trickier. But if the plot for the second "Hobbit" film heavily involves Aragorn and Arwen as we've heard, then they'll definitely need him back.

Kaum als Co-Kurator der Berlin-Biennale ernannt, schon verhaftet und schon wieder auf der Flucht: "Einer der Co-Kuratoren der 7. Berlin Biennale, Leonid Nikolajew, ist am vergangenen Wochenende bei einer kremlkritischen Demonstration verhaftet worden. Nikolajew gehört dem russischen KĂĽnstlerkollektiv Voina an. Erst in der vergangenen Woche hatte die Biennale bekannt gegeben, die Gruppe um den russischen KĂĽnstler Artur Zmijewski 2012 als "assoziierte Kuratoren" einsetzen zu wollen. Am Montagmorgen gelang Leonid Nikolajew die Flucht aus der Polizeiwache. Mittlerweile soll ein internationaler Haftbefehl gegen ihn vorliegen. (*). Und ein weiterer Voina-Aktivist, Philip Kostenko, sitzt noch in Haft und ist im Hungerstreik: "On December 6, 2011 Philip Kostenko, Voina Group artist, activist of the Russian human rights organization Memorial began a hunger strike. He was arrested near Gostiny Dvor at the peaceful rally in St. Petersburg against widespread violations in the State Duma elections. He was charged with failure to follow a police officer's orders (Article 19.3). His case was heard by Judge Alexei Kuznetsov, whom many oppositionists claim is known for accepting false statements from police officers and handing down harsh punishments. Kostenko was sentenced to 15 days in custody. Another illegally arrested activist Victor Demyanenko joined Kostenko on the hunger strike. They demand "releasing all people who were detained at the peaceful rallies on December 4-6". Kostenko is also wrongfully charged by Articles 214 ("vandalism"), 318 ("using violence against a public official"), 319 ("insulting a public official").
He is facing other sentences. Philip Kostenko is a an organizer and participant of Voina Group actions, activist of the "Food not Bombs" movement , co-author of the innovative art collages against pre-electoral law breaches of the pro-Putin "United Russia" party. He participated in all Dissenters Marches and Strategy 31 rallies. In 2011 Kostenko was detained 8 times by police without any legal ground – neither arrest warrants nor official papers were presented. For instance because of his participation in Dissenters Marches in St. Petersburg and taking part in Voina actions, on June 17, 2011 he was kidnapped by counter-extremism Center E agents Vasily Trifan and Andrey Aleshin. Kostenko was delivered to the Investigators Committee (analogue of US FBI) department to the officer D.V. Fedichev. Police officers openly write comments containing insults and explicit threats in Kostenko's blog which were addressed directly to him. Threats, blackmailing, arrests, assaults and batteries, initializing of falsified criminal cases, aiming to intimidate the Voina artist Kostenko, are still going on. Voina Group asks journalists to spread this information and help rescuing Philip Kostenko from jail." Via: Mail

The man behind a £10m hovercraft link plan says he is keeping his "fingers crossed" progress can be made soon.
Freckleton-based Hovercraft Services UK hopes to begin running a service between Blackpool, Barrow-in-Furness, Southport and Liverpool - creating dozens of new jobs in the process.
However, the company is currently waiting to receive the green light from environmental organisation Natural England to proceed with the project.
Pete Walton, owner of Walton's Coaches, of which Hovercraft Servies UK is a subsidiary, said: "We're still working with Natural England and waiting for them to say yay or nay.
"We can't do anything until that happens.
"We're making sure the relevant bodies are doing what they have to do.
"The last thing we want to do is start without that in place.
"We're keeping our fingers crossed hoping it won't be too long before they come up with the answers that we want."
Last week The Gazette reported rival Wirral-based firm Hoverlink had shelved plans to run a trial service between the resort and other destinations this summer after being unable to get the relevant licences in time.
Should it get the go ahead, Hovercraft Services plans to have the vehicle's main terminal in Blackpool in a location that will mix well with the town's existing public transport systems.
It said 30 of the jobs created will be in the resort and there are plans to create apprenticeships in connection with local colleges.
The plans, which promise reductions in journey times of up to 70 per cent, would see a trip from Blackpool to Southport take a mere 15 minutes.

The lecture is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by the Religious Studies Department and the Office of the Chaplain at Linfield.
Wiener, born and raised in Chrzanow, Poland, near the German border, will speak about his experience in concentration camps during the Holocaust. At age 13, he watched as his father's partially decomposed body was exhumed from a pit along with 36 other Jews who had been shot and killed by German soldiers.
"This traumatic experience has been haunting me ever since," he writes. "It resonates in my frequent nightmares."
Wiener spent more than three years in five different forced labor and concentration camps during the Holocaust. In addition to his father, his stepmother, stepbrother and 120 other relatives also died. Wiener was liberated from Waldenburg Concentration Camp on May 9, 1945 by the Russian Army. Wiener immigrated to the United States in 1960, where he worked as an accountant during the day and attended classes at night. He is married with two sons and four grandchildren.

Diagnosis and the management constituency of small-scale fisheries
Diagnosis and adaptive management can help improve the ability of small-scale fisheries (SSF) in the developing world to better cope with and adapt to both external drivers and internal sources of uncertainty. This paper presents a framework for diagnosis and adaptive management and discusses ways of implementing the first two phases of learning: diagnosis and mobilising an appropriate management constituency. The discussion addresses key issues and suggests suitable approaches and tools as well as numerous sources of further information. Diagnosis of a SSF defines the system to be managed, outlines the scope of the management problem in terms of threats and opportunities, and aims to construct realistic and desired future projections for the fishery. These steps can clarify objectives and lead to development of indicators necessary for adaptive management. Before management, however, it is important to mobilize a management constituency to enact change. Ways of identifying stakeholders and understanding both enabling and obstructive interactions and management structures are outlined. These preliminary learning phases for adaptive SSF management are expected to work best if legitimised by collaborative discussion among fishery stakeholders drawing on multiple knowledge systems and participatory approaches to assessment.

Tim Cook is speaking at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference this morning. He was just asked about whether or not Apple will make an iPhone with a bigger screen. Of course Timmy wouldn't just spill the details on Apple's future plans, but he didn't say Apple wouldn't make a 5-inch iPhone either.
"The only thing Apple will not do is make a crappy product," Cook explained. Maybe he hasn't heard of Apple Maps and Siri, but we digress. Cook explained that the only thing that matters to Apple is the customer experience, regardless of how big the screen is.
Cook explained that for decades the way the PC industry has competed over the years was Specs and Price. They brag about harddrive space and speed, and the CPU speed, and the latest screen size because they can't brag about how great the experience is.
"Customers want a great experience and they want that AHA! moment each time they use the product, which isn't dependent on specs. You want a fabulous experience," said Cook.
Cook went a bit deeper and said that there are other important aspects of a display, other than size, that will give the user a great experience.Cook said, "The color saturation on OLED displays is awful. You shouldn't depend on an OLED display's color. The retina display is twice as bright. There are many attributes of a display and Apple sweats every detail. We care about all of it."
Apple's ideology is that the customer experience is always broader than that which can be defined by a specific number. Yes, that 5.7-inch smartphone/phablet has a nice big screen and four processors, but does it make your life better? If not, well don't expect Apple to make a larger screen iPhone just to match Samsung's spec sheet.

A two-year-old goat has been videoed surfing the waves in California after her owner discovered her talent on a previous trip to the beach.
The kid, called Goatee, has been a water baby for most of her life.
Goatee's owner, Dana MacGregor, spotted her at a local goat farm and thought she would make a great lawn mower – little did he know that seven months later she would become a world famous surfing goat.
Dana is so fond of his pet that on his 33rd birthday he could think of nothing he'd like to do more than take Goatee down to Pismo Beach, California and share his favourite sport with her – surfing.
"I think she enjoys riding the waves," explained Dana. "My hope is that she will get more and more used to it.
"She's around humans more than other goats so she just thinks she's one of us.
"I had no idea that getting a goat would bring so much laughter and joy to people."
Dana has set up a YouTube channel called Goatee and Me to document their fun, and it will release a new video every month of Goatee's latest unusual experience.
Dana aims to utilise the publicity he has gained around Goatee's adventurous spirit to raise funds to start a football academy in Mozambique.
And now she's become a bit of an internet hit. See her in action below (how cute is the bright yellow life jacket?):

Riding the Wake was a Success
Sun, 28 Jul 2013 01:56:39 GMT —
Everyone in Albany gathered today at Turner Field Landing for one reason, to raise money for young Curt Poer who is fighting Leigh's disease.
To do that Adam Gilbert organized a Wakefest on the river and invited wakeboarders from all over the southeast to compete and donate money for a good cause.
The event started at 10 am from beginners to advance, including a women's class that started later in the afternoon.
Although this event attracted the riders to the competition they all had one goal in common, and that was to raise money for the Poer family.
Through out the day Adam and company sold t-shirts, held raffles, and auditioned off different items, including a signed wakeboard by a pro.
By the end of the day everyone walked away satisfied; Wakefest raised over 12,000 dollars with all the proceeds donated to the family and while crowning a wakeboard champion.

What She's Drinking
"Snapple is my go-to drink when I crave sugar. I figure it's healthier than soda." Christine Glavan, 26, Manhasset, New York
News Flash
The tea has more calories than a can of regular soda—and almost as much sugar.
Convenience Store
Snapple Lemon Tea
160 calories, 0 g fat per 16-oz bottle
Sip it Smarter
Honest Tea Half & Half Organic Tea with Lemonade
100 calories, 0 g fat per 16.9-oz bottle
Four of the Snapple ingredients—water, tea, citric acid and natural flavors—are virtually free of calories and sugar. That means the drink's 36 g (3 tablespoons) of sugar come from the only other listed ingredient: added sugar. By contrast, Honest Tea delivers the same refreshing tea-and-lemon combo for 60 fewer calories. It does have some added sugar but 12 g less than Snapple does. Honest Tea also contains all-natural ingredients, making it a good alternative to soda, which has artificial stuff.

You know a cocktail a day may help protect your heart, but we'd offer this advice: Order carefully. Specialty drinks often have multiple types of liquor, and every 1.5-oz shot adds 97 calories. (Plus, some bartenders are heavy-handed.) Also, beware excess agave: The plant-based sweetener can be 80 percent fructose, a sugar shown to increase belly fat in a study at the University of California in Davis. Stick to one type of booze with a zero-calorie mixer like club soda. Cheers!

Wikileaks Founder Exposes True Intentions Of Trans-Pacific Partnership
Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange recently published leaked chapters of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a secretive trade agreement between fourteen Pacific Rim countries, including the United States.
The infamous Wikileaks has struck again: Founder Julian Assange recently published leaked chapters of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a secretive trade agreement between fourteen Pacific Rim countries, including the United States. The agreement is the largest ever international economic treaty, even topping the monopoly that is NAFTA, and would allow for control of roughly 40 percent of the world's economy. The agreement was finalized this past October between the U.S. and participating countries after seven years of negotiations. Though some aspects of the treaty have been publicized, Wikileaks continues to disclose the intimate details of the agreement that have not been formally announced by the Office of the United States Trade Representative. Assange has concluded that the "Investment Chapter", which divulges the motivation of U.S. negotiators in allowing corporations to sue the government if future profits are disrupted, remains at the forefront of his concerns.
Reporter Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! met with Assange to discuss the implications of this treaty. According to Assange,
"[The partnership] is very well guarded from the press and majority of people and even from congressmen. But 600 U.S. companies are part of the process and have been given access to various parts of the TPP. Essentially, every aspect of the modern economy, even banking services, are in the TPP… embedding [a] new, ultramodern neoliberal structure in U.S. law and in the laws of other countries that are participating and putting it in treaty form…with fourteen countries involved, [it's] very, very hard to overturn."
While in some cases, Assange does agree that the government could quite possibly be too powerful and corporations should exercise the right to sue on occasion, he is also quick to point out that only multinational corporations will have this privilege, not United States-specific corporations. Through this agreement, multinationals would basically maintain the ability to structure circumstances so that they take investments from the U.S., then sue the government for infringement on future, non-tangible profits.
One of the most pressing issues of this agreement is the resounding environmental and health impacts there may be as a result of government lawsuits. To exemplify the "Investment Chapter", Assange describes the idea of a private hospital versus a government-funded hospital. If the government decided to build a hospital relatively close to a private establishment, the corporation who owned the private hospital would, under the TPP's stipulations, have the right to sue the government. Essentially, the public hospital's conception would imply arguable lost profits for the private hospital, thus giving them cause to sue. Similar legislation in Australia, Uruguay, and Togo has already proven to threaten regulatory health laws, as tobacco industries in these regions are suing their governments in an attempt to keep health warnings off cigarette packages. Assange points out that this right, while in some cases may be necessary, will overall affect national and local governments negatively, both in cost and adverse impacts on health and environmental regulations.
The implications of this treaty are frightening when considering how much power corporations can potentially wield over the government, particularly when health and environmental issues are called into question.

The mailer offers "straight answers to real questions" such as: does he wear a flag pin, is he Christian, was he born in America, does he swear on a Bible, and does he place his hand over his heart when he says the pledge of allegiance.
The answer provided to all of the above is "yes," though the mailer notes that Obama sometimes wears other pins (e.g. breast cancer awareness) or no pin at all.
"A lot of unfair, false rumors are being spread," the mailer tells workers. "Here are the answers to some of the honest questions you may have about Barack Obama."
Obama, who had difficulties attracting white, blue-collar workers in the Democratic primary, faces significant confusion about his religious identity, as 12 percent of Americans think he is Muslim, according to a Pew Research Center Poll published earlier this month.
The mailer includes photos of Obama wearing a flag pin, attending church, swearing into the Senate on a Bible held by Vice President Dick Cheney, holding his hand over his heart, and shaking hands with workers.

Second Public Comment Period for the Proposed Public Health Goals for Cadmium, Glyphosate, N-Nitrosodimethylamine, and Water-Soluble Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in Drinking Water
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency previously made available the first draft technical support documents for proposed Public Health Goals (PHGs) for these chemicals in drinking water, and invited public comment. The draft document for water-soluble polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) expected to be found in drinking water was posted on the OEHHA Web site on November 5, 2004 and a one-day public workshop was held to discuss the scientific basis of the proposed PHG on December 17, 2004. The draft documents for the three other chemicals were posted on the OEHHA Web site March 3, 2006, and a one-day public workshop was held on April 20, 2006. OEHHA follows the requirements set forth in Health and Safety Code, Sections 57003 and 116365, for conducting the workshops and receiving public input.
Following the workshop and public comment period, OEHHA evaluated all the comments received, and completed revised draft technical support documents proposing PHGs for these chemicals in drinking water. OEHHA will submit the notice for a second comment period to be published in the California Regulatory Notice Register (CRNR) on August 4, 2006. Written comments regarding the revised risk assessment must be received at OEHHA by 5:00 p.m. on September 4, 2006 to be considered. The responses to the significant comments from the public and scientific reviewers will be available on the OEHHA Web site upon publication of the final risk assessments for these chemicals.
The PHG technical support documents provide information on the health effects of contaminants in drinking water. The PHG is a level of drinking water contaminant at which adverse health effects are not expected to occur from a lifetime of exposure. The California Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996 (Health and Safety Code Section 116361(a), enacted January 2001, requires OEHHA to develop PHGs for these chemicals in drinking water. PHGs published by OEHHA will be considered by the California Department of Health Services as the health basis for the development of the drinking water standard or maximum contaminant level.

Hello Crafters! It's Alison here today, sharing a mixed media card that I made with a few of my favourite mediums, and some Dylusions stamps.
Here's what I used...
Dylusions Cling Mounted Stamp Sets - Black Sheep, Quintessential Quotes, Anatomy of a Page
Watercolour Cardstock, Black Cardstock, 6x6 ins White Card Blank
Stencil Brush, Paintbrush, Baby Wipes, Music Sheet, Black Pen, Water Spray Bottle, Heat Gun, Scissors
Here's what I did...
1. I began by cutting some watercolour cardstock into 5x5 inch squares. I then used Gelatos to add some background colour, scribbling with different tones of the same colours, then blending with a baby wipe.
2. Next, I did some tone on tone stencilling with Dinky Stencils and Fresco Finish Acrylic Paint.
3. My next step on the background was to sprinkle on a contrasting colour of Infusions, then spritz with water, and dry with a heat gun.
4. To make my card, I picked out the purple background and used black Stazon ink to stamp a floral design around the edges.
5. I painted a thin coat of Snowflake Fresco on some music sheet, then stamped the focal image from the Black Sheep stamp set, and the quote, then cut them out. I also hand cut a scalloped edge and added some black pen doodling, before gluing it to the edges of the background.
6. I adhered the image and quote, outlined the words with a black pen, then used Distress Markers to colour in the image. I used a round paintbrush to add a splatter of watered down Snowflake Fresco, edged the background with black Stazon, then matted and layered onto black cardstock and a white card blank to finish.
I hope I've inspired you to create some art today.

Research-Practice Integration
Access the AED Guidelines for Research-Practice Integration, created by the AED Research-Practice Committee in an effort to advance research and practice partnership in the field of eating disorders. Accompanying the general guidelines is the AED Action Plan which outlines a strategic plan for research-practice integration within the AED.
Research Practice Guidelines in English
AED Action Plan
Research Practice Guidelines in French

Research Practice Guidelines in Spanish
History of the AED Research-Practice Initiative
The AED Research-Practice Initiative took form in 2007 following an informal survey1 that posed two questions of 32 AED members:
- There appears to be a researcher-clinician gap in our field. What do you think is the main cause of this gap?
- What is one step we can take to close the gap?
The responses to this survey were uniformly thoughtful and united in their concern about the importance of finding effective ways to encourage research-practice integration. The responses also suggested that the impediments to research-practice integration were multi-layered and complex in nature.
The AED Research-Practice Committee (RPC) was then created and charged with the task of further exploring factors that block research-practice integration and developing a strategic plan for promoting partnership between researchers and practitioners.
Research-Practice Committee
2016-17 Co-Chairs:
Kristin von Ranson
2016-17 Committee Members:
Allison Kelly
Ann Haynos
Kelly Bhatnagar
Michael Strober
Suzanne Dooley-Hash
Timothy Brewerton
Tom Hildebrandt
The RPC developed the following mission and goals statement:
Mission: To improve the quality of research, clinical practice, and prevention in the field of eating disorders by facilitating an ongoing transfer of knowledge from research into practice and from practice into research, while working to eliminate the factors that result in polarization of these two critical aspects of our field.
Goals: The RPC aims to promote the development of an integrated research-practice culture within the AED by facilitating:
- the development of effective evidence-based practices, while ensuring that research remains focused upon, and relevant to, practice concerns;
- the development and sharing of innovative clinical practices and observations to guide the nature and direction of research; and
- the promotion of a culture of mutual respect across disciplines.
RPC Activities
Since 2007, the RPC has implemented changes in AED activities, in particular conference activities, that promote interactive learning, researcher-practitioner dialogue, and a balanced research-practice perspective. See the Committees & Task Forces.
Upcoming Activities
- ICED Think Tank, Prague, 2017
- ICED workshop on research-practice integration (to be confirmed)
Past Activities
Global Think Tanks
