laid the paint down fine,downhill from there!
woe is me! it was a lovely thing,a bright and smoooooth,straight!!!factory!!!!new door.did'nt have a wave in it.so what did this bonehead[me] do?painted it on probably the worst pollen etc. day of the year!~full of trash!!!![ i dont have an indoor place to paint] and really the wind was not blowinggggg! when i started.man... the paint went on like someone that knew what they are doing did it,oh yeah except for trash between each coat.being fairly pessimistic at this point i'm guessing that no amount of color wetsanding/buffing will help but i dont know that from actual experience.i've got three coats of dupont centari acrylic enamel laid down.should i invest the time in wet sand/buff?help!!!jimm
Let it cure for a day or two and then wet sand it out with a block, just enough to roughen the paint and make it matte. You might try building a makeshift paint booth out of plastic around your part, enclose the entire thing top, bottom, sides, and tape the entire enclosure with the gun inside. This way you can shoot without even getting inside and stirring up the dust devil.

I agree with 4 jaw chuck, I am I-car certified body tech. just let it cure and see what happens, usually the paint will cure and sometimes if your lucky the debree settles to the top or near it depending on the amount and size of the debree you can color sand it to death and get it smooth as glass, wash it down with some dish detergent to get all of the oils off laid down my your skin, enclose your prodject with some duct tape and some clear plastic for visability and sunlight, and if you have a house fan turn it outward so it blows most of the ooverspray and fumes outside so you can see and so the overspray doesn't settle on your slick paint, if you've got some of those cheap emergency blankets make the sides out of that(shiny side in) and the top out of clear plastic, this will get some heat in there (it helps if it gets a chill in the air). When spraying keep your wrist straight and the gun about 6-8" away, spray two light coats and then a heavier coat for the last, it should turn out like a peach. Let me know if you have any questions, and how it turns out
I've had to paint several cars "outdoors" and the only thing I use is lacquer. It dries fast enough to keep the typical trash out of the paint. Anything that does find its way can be color sanded out and buffed to a mirror finish. The plastic helps alot also but there will always be that one suicide bug that will land on your new paint job and crawl itself to death! Good Luck!

4jawchuck,halloweenking,racenuts,howdy! thanks a lot guys for the encouragement/advice!i appreciate both i'm painting doors[2] and hood under my house but the pollen from the oaks is not be believed here in arkansas.so, i'm going to wait before painting the body,luckily there is no top[k5 blazer with the top off]i've already started doing what you all suggested as regards color sand/buff and it looks like i will only have acouple of spots that iwont be able to erase,and thats because i'm scared to sand or buff through[that dang paint's expensive!]thanks again and when i finish this project i'll try to get pictures where you can view them[suicide bug tracks included]see ya!jimm
Jimm, I know how you feel, here in SC the pollen is so bad my black car looks dark green, and if you don't wash it off every other day it embeds itsellf into our paint, heres two ideas to get your car painted without all the nasties and those pesky winged kamakazi bugs. Alot of bodyshops will rent out there paint booths for a small fee, shops around here charge $75 for 8 hours, if its a nice paint booth you won't need 8 hours after you paint it and turn on the heat it should be ready within 2.5-3. Or you could look for a trade school that teaches Auto body/painting, if you ask nicely they will usually let you use it for free, or maby a small fee just to feel as if they are apart of it somehow. Before I found a trade school I built my own makeshift booth from some 4x4's concreate block and some steel grate on the floor sheetrock for the walls coverd in aluminum flashing and some clear plastic for the top sealed with duct tape. fill the steel grate with water or just cover the floor, the steel grate adds little pockets so your feet don't splash the water up, but those pockets stop alot of the dust and pollen, add a small fan and a hot day and you good to go.
aieeeee chihuaha !!! hubba hubba ! i sanded it w/1200[and sanded it and sanded it] then buffed with 1200 finishing com[pound, then 2000 compound,holy mackerel andy!thanks guys for the encouragement!halloweenking thanks for the makeshift booth idea,i am all fired up to build a shop[two parts ,1/2 mech.,1/2 paint room]anyway the enormous!! amount of trash is 99.95% gone and the door has set some tough standards for the rest of the vehicle,see ya! jimm
Great idea this plastic paint booth. I wonder how it would work with a car port? How do you suggest it be ventilated? should the floor be wet down before painting? Is the time of day important, less dust in the morning, with the moisture?
The plastic paint booth works great IF you have ventilation and filters. Learned this hard way years ago. I painted a car with no ventilation, looked great first couple of days then small craters began appearing. By the next day it was covered. I contacted PPG and was told that the solvent did not have time to evaporate befor the paint skimed over. I bought an explosion proof fan motor and use cheap furnace filters. The only problem I have now is with the painter, me. Hope this helps, Jack
It would work well in a carport, you just have to sit a layer of plastic under the top before you paint, the debree in the ceiling of the carport is a hazard, but if you do use a carport, you will need lots of ventalation and it has to be a hot/very warm day since your painting in the shade, I usually start taping at 10am and start to spray around 12:30 1 pm during the hottest part of the day. for vetalation you can use regular house fans I've seen them used often but keep them far enough away not to catch fresh spray, some have used old blower motors from heaters and just reversed it, whattever they can dig up. As for walls, you can put filters up, its actually better but not alot of people like the work. Go to a home depot or lows and get some filters, they are usually sold in a box containing 100 18" square filters just duct tape them together to make up your walls, they are made of course woven fibers they are usually a light seafoam color. As for the floor, unless you have a downdraft paint booth yes, soak your floor, it keeps whats down there down there and it attracts loose dust and dirt and keeps it there, if your floor isn't smooth, squeegie it off first so you don't have any splash up on your paint, if you do no worries most of it will evaporate and the rest you can color sand smooth. Always paint with a mask on, I use a 3M double filter version, you can get one for $45, never paint or letr fresh paint out below 70 degrees F, the clear will turn cloudy, the warmer the better, the dryer the better. So pick your painting days well and you'll have a good clean job.
ok, i have some questions...i moved to ca. from minn. 25 years ago, had to learn how to paint all over again with the heat we have here. first job i did was way dry, turned out dull, pebbly looking because i didn't lay it on thick enough. i was advised to paint in the morning, before noon. did this, using mostly centari, r&m acrylics, jobs turned out nice. now i'm getting ready to paint my tbucket, haven't painted for 10 years, now i find out no more enamels, lacquers, ca. has banned them. the last job i did was 2 stage, it's neat stuff, what i'm going to have to use again. heat is good? i'll be looking at 90s temps, dry heat. how is the new stuff flow compared to the old? i don't have a lot of area to cover but i don't want to do it twice, this stuff is way expensive. any reccomendations on brands to use, the guy i bought the primer from says he has uno brand, $300 a gallon. makes me afraid to ask how much a quart..lol. less expensive would be nice. thanks, dan

Heat is good yes, heat will allow your paint to "bake on" and with vetalation it will also draw the vapors out of the paint and at a high enough temp also helps to smooth the paint finish, what you did in the past is refferd to as "orange peel" thats the lack of paint applied or spraying to far away from the surface. 2 stage paint is the easiest to apply, I've always used PPG, its easy to use and spray, and its not very exspensive, I've nevver been to CA but I think your paint guy is a ripoff, I painted my entire 1969 charger the original dodge pea green, door jams trunk underhood and exterior for under $250 including thinner, clear, and buffing wheel and compound. Painting two stage paint is relatively simple, prepare your booth or spraying area (I.E. wet the floor sweegie it etc. etc. mix it spray 6-8 inches from the surface, keep your wrist straight, move with the gun don't stretch, paint the car one section at a time (front middle then rear, or vise versa) depending on the paint is how you apply it, with PPG I've always done two light coats then a heavier last coat to cover it,(remember 2 stage paint, the first stage isn't supposed to look shiny, just one color) give it flash time then clear it, you can color sand between coats of clear but if you lay on a smooth coat its not really nessasary, do however many coats of clear you would like. let the paint cure (depending on paint, is how long until you buff) (ask the guy you buy it from for the cure time on the paint before you buff it) and buff, after you buff use swirl remover, sit back in a beach chair in your driveway and smile really big and wave at the people passing by looking at your ride
Let me know how it turns out or if you need any other help.

One of the things you will find is that the new water based paints are meant to go on with HVLP guns as opposed to the old air atomized Binks/DeVilbiss style venturi guns. The paints are thicker and cover in only a few coats as opposed to a metallic Centauri which needed many coats to cover. The other thing you will find is that most of these paints are part of a system and mixing and matching primers, topcoats and clears is not advisable. Stick with one manufacturers system and you will have good results. The other item of interest is that most systems nowadays include a clear topcoat, this topcoat can be thought of a suntan lotion for the paint and should be applied unless the Mfg says it is safe to omit it. Maybe you would be better off ordering some "classic" paints from outside the state to reflect your equipment investment. One of the reasons for the higher costs for the paint is with a HVLP application method you won't need as much paint to finish the car, the overspray ratio is much lower and the number of coats is less.

thanks for the help, guys. i've got the painting down pretty good, the first one that went dry was because the paint was dam near evaporating as it hit the surface, temp was about 100 that day, no humidity. no orange peel, just had no shine, kind of primer look..lol. i used the slow thinner, made no difference. i'm new to the water based stuff, i did one job but it was a good 10-12 years ago. technology i'm sure has changed a few times since. i hope i can find it cheaper, 300 a gallon should come with a spray gun..lol. ca is a cool place to live most of the time but we pave the way for a lot of idiotic laws sometimes. i should have bought the paint when i was in las vegas for the nhra drags a month ago, wish i would have thought of it then.

- Description
- The TT Mussels font family is the successor of such popular fonts as Bender and TT Squares. At the same time, TT Mussels has a number of fundamental differences that make it a unique font family that stands out from other octagonal typefaces. When designing TT Mussels, we paid great attention to the possibility of imposing large arrays of text, and we can responsibly state that TT Mussels is a rare type of technological text fonts. To go along with the rest, we've created a stencil version of the typeface, in which the location of the incisions changes according to their thickness. In total, the TT Mussels font family consists of 36 faces, which include among other things stylistic alternatives, ligatures, and also implements a broad support for OpenType features: case, frac, ordn, sups, sinf, numr, dnom, onum, tnum, pnum, liga, dlig, salt (aka ss01). Dynamic contrast is widely implemented in TT Mussels. It is most noticeable in the Black typeface, where the ratio of the thickness of the vertical strokes to the horizontal strokes is approximately two to one. For the Thin typeface, the thickness of the vertical strokes is already consistent with the thickness of the horizontal strokes. You can also find other signs of respect for traditional text fonts in the TT Mussels design, such as the trace of pen movement which is historically typical for antiquas. For example, in the letter M from the Black face, we can first see a thin stroke, then a thick diagonal stroke followed by a thin diagonal stroke, and a finishing bold vertical stroke. As in the case of dynamic contrast, this effect gradually disappears when approaching thin faces. In thick faces, in places such as the "armpits" of the letters MNИ or the junctions of the diagonals of WVvw, there are visual compensators that brighten the bold typefaces. As the thickness of typefaces moves from thick to thin, the dimensions and conceptual values of compensators change, and in thin typefaces they completely disappear.

Adobe Books cooperative takes over
As Andrew McKinley saw rents rising around his funky Mission District bookstore, art gallery and youth hangout, Adobe Books, he knew how the story would end, just as it has for many San Francisco bookstores that have been pushed out by e-readers as much as rents. In January, the lease was up and McKinley's landlord broke it to him - rent would go up, from around $4,500 a month to as much as $8,000.
Tired of losing money on books, McKinley was ready to retire and started telling friends. He didn't suspect what would happen next.
The struggling artists he'd hosted through the 1990s (the ones who had stayed after hours drinking on the bookstore couches or sleeping in the storage loft) decided to join a campaign to take over the bookstore as a cooperative. Once young aspirants, they were now among San Francisco's most influential artists, including author Rebecca Solnit and painter Chris Johanson.
"I've had a good run here, a great run," says McKinley, who hosted his last reading Wednesday night. "When I founded Adobe (in 1988), people spent their money on books - now I don't know what they spend their money on, maybe nothing, maybe food. It looks like some of these kids might take up where I left off and figure that out, so I'm glad to see it."
The new Adobe cooperative is spearheaded by Jeff Ray, who has helped lead the successful Rainbow Grocery cooperative for 25 years; author Paul LaFarge, who introduced the readers and announced the campaign to keep the shop open; and almost a dozen others. The organizers are beginning an Indiegogo campaign (with the goal of raising $60,000) and an art auction (to raise an additional $20,000).
"Andrew has run it as a community space more than a business. We're not going to let it close, but we have to think of new models," says another organizer, Kyle Knobel, who talks about the need for diversification - like selling vinyl and magazines; hosting popup shops; putting on events. "We'll still have some books, but it'll evolve."
"I see it as an opportunity for people to step up," Knobel says. "OK, you want a space like this? Then let's see it happen."
He jokes about making it a bookstore-themed hotel.
"This is a bookstore-themed hotel," says Howard Gutstadt, a longtime customer who lives nearby, referring to both the artists and homeless who periodically nap on the shop's worn couches. "Andrew's the literary mayor of this part of town."
Regardless of what happens with the new Adobe, it was a retirement party for the 55-year-old McKinley. A soft-spoken man in black corduroys and a herringbone jacket, McKinley stood in back during the readings, pouring wine and greeting friends.
Early start on collecting
Born in Philadelphia, McKinley grew up in Pacific Heights and Berkeley, attending College Preparatory School and Columbia University. His mother would take him thrift-shopping for clothes, and he always picked up books, too - "which got me started collecting."
"I'm pretty bourgeois from my upbringing," says McKinley, a bachelor who lives two blocks away from the bookstore at 16th and Guerrero streets. "But it was fun to lead a more bohemian life, amidst all these aspiring artists, some successful ones, a few down and outs. It's been fun to see them grow up."
Curator Amanda Eicher, who now teaches at UC Berkeley, started a gallery in the back of the store, where friends of the shop could show their work - and the space became a defining one for the Mission School artists such as Johanson, Chris Corales and Sean McFarland. Singer-guitarist Devendra Banhart played in the shop, as did harpist Joanna Newsom and Thee Oh Sees.
"When I opened the store, we dreamed of having a place habituated by artists - and it really turned out that way. Very naturally," McKinley says. "But now those guys don't live here anymore. They're out in Oakland."
McKinley never sits down. As people walk in, he pulls them close and introduces them emphatically to whomever he's speaking with. To McKinley, everyone is "a great man" and "famous for" something.
"Andrew makes everyone comfortable," says Jeff Fort, 46, who remembers spending late nights in the shop when he lived on 14th Street in the '90s. Fort now lives in Oakland but came "because I thought it was going to be a closing party. (Now) it looks like there might be a second act."
Solnit, author of "Infinite City," steps up to read. Before she begins, Solnit unwraps an 18th century version of "Tom Jones," second volume.
"Andrew knew I liked old things," she said, "and he just gave it to me 15 years ago. They're trying to convince us that books are obsolete, but I challenge you to find me an app that lasts this long."
Ready to move on
During his final night at work, McKinley stays by the door.
"Before me, it was a secondhand coin store, Bill's Coin. I collect coins, so I was comfortable entering that space," he says. "I'm ready to move on, in some ways. Maybe now I'll sell coins.
"Seems like the kids will figure something out with the shop. They've got pop-ups and Indiegogo and some good ideas. Maybe there won't be many books, but maybe that's OK."

The most crucial burn to your new candle is its first one. This is what is known as a memory burn. The initial burn is the one that is most vital to a complete melt pool. And, even more importantly a memory burn in the candle is the one that sets the boundaries and scent throw for every burn after that.
To Create Your Memory Burn
Never leave a burning candle unattended. A good rule of thumb to prepare for your memory burn is to know the diameter of your candle. For every inch in diameter that your candle is wide, you need to gauge one hour of burn time. So, if your candle is 3 inches wide; you need to be able to burn your candle the first time for at least 3 hours. So, for the memory burn, it is important to start it when you

Study Program Division Forest Science and Resource Management
"Forestry is not about trees, it's about people."
With research orientated bachelor's and master's degree programs the Study Program Division Forest Science and Resource Management offers diverse and modern academic studying environments at the TUM School of Life Sciences Weihenstephan. Areas such as international forestry, timber industry, forest technology, business administration, computer science, nature conservation, landscape development and renewable resources are the focus of our study programs. Our interdisciplinary approach provides graduates with versatile skills and knowledge creating excellent options on the job market. The unique integration of the Holzforschung München (Munich Wood Research Institute) within the Technical University of Munich opens up further job markets for our graduates. Convince yourself!
One of the most fascinating ecosystems on Earth - the forest - is the focal point of our studies. As a renewable natural resource, wood has bright prospects, as well as other bioresources have. The development of reliable concepts for using this basis for life and for handling natural resources is one of the most important tasks of the present and future.
Forest ecosystems are the major terrestrial land resource for biodiversity, i.e. habitat for the majority of plant and animal species, and the main producer of wood, the most important renewable resource in both volume and value terms. In addition, forests provide a number of indispensable goods and services for mankind, e.g. factors of water conservation and carbon mitigation. Sustainability is a key element in the management of forest resources and hence is also a key element in the master's program.

Hermle in the specialist press.
Maschinenfabrik Berthold Hermle AG
Udo Hipp / Marketing Manager
Phone: 07426 95-6238
E-mail: email@example.com
Hermle AG has added the C 250 to the C 400, which it launched in 2012, and, in the process, created a brand new series. The series is arranged below the double-digit series with its C 12, C 22, C 32, C 42, C 52 and C 62 models, but is in no way inferior. In fact, the only thing different between them is the equipment variance, the price and, of course, the name.
The C 250, just like the C 400, comes with Hermle's tried-and-tested modified gantry design and a mineral casting machine bed. With the 3-axis version, the integrated rigid clamping table is suitable for workpieces weighing up to 1100 kg (600 x 550 x 450 mm). The high precision machining of workpieces weighing up to 300 kg (Ø 450 x 355 mm) is possible on the NC swivelling rotary table of the 5-axis version.
The traverse paths inside the stainless steel clad working area are 600 x 550 x 450 mm for a vertical table clearance of 550 mm and a 688mm door opening. Ideal conditions for safe and simple crane loading.
The C 250 boasts an integrated tool magazine for 30 tools. Two additional magazines with 50 or 88 additional pockets can be optionally adapted. The control panel of the C 250 is also pivotable from the working area to the tool loading point, thus allowing the operator to enter tool data information directly into the tool table in the control.
working area with the swivelling rotary table Ø 450 x 360
The C 250 is equipped as standard with the Heidenhain TNC 640 and offers the entire scope of programming features provided by this proven high-end control unit. The control panel comes with a large, full colour 19" TFT flat panel monitor and can be optionally equipped with an ergonomically designed control panel for greater operator comfort. Proven Hermle setups are integrated into the control unit and provide the operator with optimum support for complex milling tasks. Application of HIMS (Hermle "Information-Monitoring-Software") is also guaranteed at the C 250.
In case service is required, the Hermle "Maintenance-Diagnostic-System" is available in order to constantly monitor the machine status. This facilitates efficient diagnostics and status-oriented maintenance in the unlikely event of malfunctioning.

Besides our many and various projects, HCS also runs a series of events throughout the year. These include hosting prominent speakers (in the past we've had Steve Ballmer, Steve Wozniak, Stephen Wolfram, Paul Graham, and Cory Doctorow, for example), discussions with faculty and researchers in computer science, panels with leaders in industry (including executives from S&P 500 companies), tech talks by engineers from interesting companies like Google and Facebook, tours of the Harvard NOC and main datacenter, seminars on how computers or the internet work, workshops on how to make the most of technology, and whatever else we can come up with.
Beyond events, HCS is involved in advocacy for good technology policy at Harvard. We maintain close relationships with many of the people who set policies that affect students and we've helped to make sure that an informed student voice is always part of major decisions. Our current focus involves advocating for more open and transparent policies in several areas. We've also helped courses expand their technical capabilities, through collaboration with CS 50 and CS 51.
HCS also hosts the annual Datamatch service, which uses advanced computer technology to pair Harvard students just in time for Valentine's Day.

Fried Chickpea Patties With Sesame Seed Sauce – Revithokeftedes me Tahini Saltsa
This is Fried Chickpea Patties with Sesame Seed Sauce or Revithokeftedes me Tahini Saltsa in Greek. According to my son, having the patties with the sauce reminds him of Hummus! To a large extent, his assessment is correct, as all the ingredients used are identical. It is sort of like eating a deconstructed Hummus. The patties do taste really good with the sesame seed sauce. Try it!

These look great! I tried making a dish very similar to this before, but they feel apart when I tried to cook them. I should definitely try this recipe next time!ReplyDelete

Very, very, very good! I was extremely pleased with these little golden bundles of joy! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Made these last night and must say they were the hit of the dinner. However I opted to not make the sauce, instead using the extra juice from the bacon wrapped chicken and it worked very well. Actually these little patties worked quite well with no sauce at all.ReplyDelete
We've made these a few times now, and have played with the recipe a bit but am still having problems with the patties not getting solid enough. I drain the peas real well, and I've used just egg yolk instead of the whole egg, but yet it still is very loose in the pan. Taste is great, just can't seem to get the patties to stay together fully.ReplyDelete
Any thoughts?
@Mike: Perhaps you can use extra chickpeas or gently roll the patties with the flour. Then put some flour onto your palm and gently toss the patties between your palms before frying them. That's how I usually do when the patties is too soft or wet. Hope this method works for you.ReplyDelete

Will Macht
William P. Macht is a professor of urban planning and development at the Center for Real Estate at Portland State University in Oregon and a development consultant.
For decades in America, food factories and distribution facilities have moved to suburban sites, in search of inexpensive industrially zoned land, easy truck loading, and proximity to interstate freeways. Now, disinvestment in the urban fringe, decline in older neighborhood industrial buildings, foreclosures, and job losses from the Great Recession have created opportunities for smaller food processors to expand at lower cost.
Take Classic Foods, a local gourmet foods manufacturer and distributor in Portland, Oregon. Its main products include pasta, spice blends, sauces, and soup bases. It also imports specialty meats, cheeses, and other foods, which it provides wholesale to 500 restaurant clients in Oregon and Washington. Classic was located in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse one mile east of downtown Portland just south of Interstate 84. It had only a 1,200-square-foot kitchen to serve its clients, and truck loading space for pickup and delivery to its customers was minimal.
Conventional economics seemed to favor a low-cost tilt-up building in an industrial park. But founder and owner Jake Greenberg loved biking to work, and wanted to continue to serve close-in restaurant and hotel owners. He calculated that Classic could reinforce its brand by marketing prepared foods with sustainably farmed, organic ingredients to an urban community.
Greenberg soon found a facility to support these aspirations in the form of a 50,000-square-foot old art deco structure in disrepair in the Woodlawn neighborhood, only three miles north of Classic Foods' old location and only two miles from his house. Constructed in 1932 as an ice house, the building later operated as a brewery after prohibition and, since 1948, was home to a paper box manufacturing company. The owners of the box company had the property on the market at $2.9 million only 12 months earlier, but they were nine months behind on mortgage payments and about to lose the property - and with it their three-generations-old family business - to foreclosure.
Greenberg struck a deal that benefited both parties. By paying the owners $1.4 million, he acquired a building five times larger than his existing one at a price of just $28 per square foot - far below replacement cost, not even counting the value of the 1.53-acre site that gave him the space to park his fleet of delivery trucks. The sale cleared the box company's debt and gave it adequate resources to maintain the business and relocate it to a smaller, less-expensive facility that better met its needs. It also allowed Greenberg to expand Classic Foods, more than quintuple the size of its kitchen, extend its product line, and add to its customer base.
There were problems. The building had been neglected for decades and needed significant improvements. The roof had so many leaks that buckets was required to catch all the water when it rained. The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems all dated to the 1960s or earlier, and many of the windows, floor coverings, pipe wrapping, and other building materials were laced with asbestos or contained lead-based paint.
Greenberg brought in Joshua Fuhrer, a recent graduate of the Portland State University, to help redevelop the building. The kitchen became a 6,480-square-foot exhibition kitchen that was moved near the front of the building. Most equipment in the kitchen was placed on wheels to maximize flexibility. The kitchen has a 50-foot sheer glass wall along a 2,340-square-foot public community gallery lined on the other side by a bank of 11 five-foot-wide-by-12-foot-tall windows that fill both the gallery and kitchen with daylight.
Glowing windows at nighttime events transform the gallery into a community center for the now-revitalizing neighborhood. The gallery space serves as a place for local artists to display their work, for the neighborhood association and other community groups to hold their monthly meetings, and for local nonprofit organizations to hold fundraising events, free of charge. Recent events have included two fashion shows benefiting local schools, cooking classes and demonstrations, and pasta meals for children on free and reduced-price lunch programs.
Adjacent to the gallery is a 1,407-square-foot retail space. Clients, retail customers, and gallery patrons look through the floor-to-ceiling glass wall into the commercial kitchen where cooks pull fresh pasta from Italian machines and drape it over large racks to dry. This allows passersby to see firsthand the steps of food production from raw materials to finished linguini and ravioli. Urban decay had turned the area into a food desert, but Classic's retail access at manufacturer's prices helps address the lack of food access for neighborhood residents while creating new revenue streams and building brand loyalty in the community.
An 800-square-foot lower patio, widened sidewalks, and a parking area, in addition to a terrace, were built to be able to serve a local farmers market for the neighborhood on weekends. An herb garden was planted adjacent to the terrace to create edible landscaping.
The project, which incorporates a variety of green building practices, materials, and processes, is in the final stages of commissioning and qualifies for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Platinum certification, making it the first manufacturing facility in Oregon to achieve this designation.
The $5 million project's total development cost of $115 per square foot included the 66,500 square feet of land and all its improvements, 43,458 square feet of improved usable building area, all hard and soft redevelopment costs, and all the new equipment in the building. This was significantly less than the cost would have been for a suburban counterpart. The project also yielded benefits for the community and the ability to market and expand the Classic Foods brand from a sustainable urban location.

Official: Justice considers joining Armstrong suit
- Acition originally brought by former teammate Floyd Landis
- Alleges that Armstrong defrauded U.S. Postal Service of about %2430 million
As Lance Armstrong admits to doping during his famed cycling career, Justice Department officials are recommending that the agency join a federal whistleblower lawsuit against Armstrong, a federal law enforcement official briefed on the matter but not authorized to speak told USA TODAY Sports.
The case was initiated by former cyclist and Armstrong teammate Floyd Landis under the False Claims Act. At issue is whether Armstrong and others defrauded the U.S. Postal Service of around $30 million when it sponsored his team.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the Justice Department's recommendation.
INTERVIEW:Armstrong tells Oprah he doped
Armstrong has sought a reconciliation with Landis as part of his overall strategy in confessing to using performance-enhancing drugs, two people with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. The people requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the situation publicly.
So far, the reconciliation attempt has not been successful. Landis has been hostile to Armstrong because of his former teammate's previous attacks against him. Landis was among the first to accuse Armstrong of doping, prompting Armstrong and his attorneys to fire back and portray him as a fraud.
Armstrong, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles last year, confessed to Oprah Winfrey on Monday that he doped during his career, one of the people said.
Landis has previously admitted to doping and lost his 2006 Tour de France title.

In the fall of 2012, Hebrew SeniorLife gathered together geriatric thought-leaders, researchers and physicians for our inaugural "You and Your Aging Parents" program, an important discussion about the steps one should take to help aging parents as they make decisions regarding health and well-being. Overwhelmingly positive response indicates the need for this information and Hebrew SeniorLife continues to offer this program. Check our events listing for upcoming events.
In addition, we published expert advice from the first program in an ebook, "You and Your Aging Parents," which Hebrew SeniorLife is offering as a free downloadable pdf. The discussion also inspired our "You and Your Aging Parents" blog series, a series that includes this blog post and covers the various issues and concerns you may encounter as you and your parent/s continue on the journey of aging.
How do I evaluate home care and home health care services?
Critical to all evaluations is the safety and well-being of the individual who will be receiving the care. In Massachusetts, all home care providers are required to conduct a criminal background check on employees. For Medicare certified home health care providers, quality and patient satisfaction measures are standardized and publicly reported on the Medicare website. You can get a Home Care Compare report at www.medicare.gov that provides a snapshot of how an agency compares to other providers in your area.
Obtaining evaluation data in Massachusetts can be challenging because the state does not license or regulate private home health care agencies. Information on or complaints about providers may be available through the Attorney General's Office or Better Business Bureau.
Here are some questions you can ask to evaluate which services are best for your loved one. By asking these questions in advance, you will be able to identify a home health care agency that is the right fit and resource to ensure your family member is comfortable, safe and engaged.
- Outline your specific needs and expectations. Evaluating your options is easier when you're clear about requirements (ex. What types of tasks require assistance? What is the best personality fit for your loved one? What can you afford?)
- Ask family, friends and coworkers for references – they are a valuable source for subjective information that you can use to evaluate home care services.
- Consider how quickly an agency responds to your inquiries and requests.
- Make unscheduled visits to observe the agency personnel in action and notice how they interact with your loved one.
- Trust your own gut based on your personal experience. Remember that the family member receiving care may be the least vocal and more inhibited in expressing their issues or concerns.
- Review the agency hiring practices and personnel policies. At Hebrew SeniorLife Home Care, for example, every person we hire is supervised, has undergone a CORI check and is insured. Also check that policies are in place for illness and vacation to ensure there will not be a lapse in coverage if an aide is unavailable.
Ultimately evaluating home health care is easier when you are clear at the outset about your needs and expectations. What types of tasks require assistance? What type of aide will fit best with the personality of the client? What information do you need to be part of the care plan? How do you want to be communicated with? If more services are needed over time, can the agency of your choice provide them? How often are you going to communicate with the agency to receive updates?
Supportive care is costly, so it is important to be realistic about financial resources, know the extent of your resources and clearly outline your care goals.

I'm not even going to attempt to read the second sign. Well I can read it, but my hebrew is probably more rusty than Sara with an h's. I saw the third pic somewhere. I'm not sure where. The tzeduka one is kind of sad and funny at the same time lol

OK, I want to know where that second sign lives!
Anyway for those whose Hebrew isn't so hot: Paraphrasing, the first part says not to park there, if you do they'll remove the air from the car (I assume just the tires), tow it with a fine, and you'll get in trouble with the police -- and you can call the police (dial 100) to ask and check that this is true.
The second and third parts (a more direct translation, so it may read a bit stilted in English):
About dogs:
It is a right to all dwellers in all of Israel to live in his house restfully, with a clean yard, and without being disurbed by dogs. Therefore, any dog that is allowed in the yard and there "does its thing," this dog will be fired upon with live weaponry and killed.
About theives and burglars:
Indeed, since seniors also live in this house, theives are warned to respect the honor of all those involved, and not to come near this house -- as this could endanger their lives, as there are people here with live weapons, that could puncture them with bullets.

Why does the Torah go into such great detail about montary laws? Why is there the gemara of Bava Kama, Metzia and Batra? Why are their hilchot Sanhedirn? Why does the Torah talk about Policemen and Judges?
REALITY is that there will be criminals, even in the best of places. Even here...

I second Purple Parrot's comment about your political incorrectness. Your joke was racist and slanderous. (Maybe there was a Perl conference at the airport hotel.)

The Football Association of Slovenia (Nogometna zveza Slovenije or NZS) has its origins in the Ljubljana Football Association, founded on 23 April 1920. This forerunner of the NZS organised footballing activities in the country, including a national championship and cups, under the wider authority of the Yugoslav Football Association (Fudbalski Savez Jugoslavije or FSJ). The national team also debuted during this period, losing 5-0 to a French Olympic side led by Jules Rimet.
In 1935 the two most established clubs from the capital city Ljubljana, FC Ilirija and FC Primorje, merged for financial reasons to become SC Ljubljana and attract the best Slovenian players. This club participated in the federal Yugoslavian First League. Along with NK Maribor and NK Celje, they also played matches against foreign opposition, from Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
The years after World War Two were dedicated to restructuring the game. The NZS was formed in May 1948, albeit under the FSJ aegis, and had particular responsibility for local referees and coaches with specific departments for each. The most successful Slovenian club were NK Olimpija Ljubljana, who lost the 1970 Yugoslavian Cup final to FK Crvena zvezda. Olimpija nonetheless entered the European Cup Winners' Cup, falling to SL Benfica in the first round. Other well-known teams were Maribor, NK Rudar Velenje and ND Mura 05 as well as Ljubljana sides ND Slovan and NK Svoboda.
By the mid-1980s a Slovenian team was facing representative sides from the other Yugoslavian republics in friendly matches. Slovenia had been producing excellent players for the Yugoslavia national squad, including Danilo Popivoda, Brane Oblak, Marko Elsner and Srečko Katanec.
The most historic chapter in Slovenia's football story unfolded in the 1990s. Following the country's declaration of independence in June 1991, an inaugural national championship started, comprising Slovenian clubs that had participated in the Yugoslavian first, second and third divisions. Another landmark was attained on 3 June 1992 when an independent Slovenia made their national-team debut in a 1-1 draw with Estonia in Tallinn.
That same year the NZS was admitted to UEFA and FIFA, heralding the country's involvement in the UEFA European Championship qualifiers for EURO '96. The team took their competitive bow in a 1-1 home draw with Italy, FIFA World Cup runners-up, in Maribor on 7 September 1994. Sašo Udovič scored Slovenia's goal.
Two years later the NZS moved into its own headquarters. The top flight, or First League (Prva Liga), was reorganised into a 12-team championship for the 1998/99 campaign, before being reduced to ten clubs in 2005.
The new millennium brought golden days. With Katanec as coach, Slovenia qualified for UEFA EURO 2000. They overcame Ukraine in a qualifying play-off before drawing with Yugoslavia and Norway, and losing narrowly to Spain in their group in the Low Countries. Maribor also performed creditably by becoming the nation's first UEFA Champions League representative, appearing in the 1999/2000 first group stage.
With players such as Zlatko Zahovič showing star quality, further progress was made with qualification for the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan, again via the play-offs, with victory against Romania. However, the team fell at the play-off hurdle in UEFA EURO 2004 qualifying, which precipitated the international retirement of Zahovič.
Slovenia, a nation of about two million people, would next experience a major championship in South Africa 2010. Under coach Matjaž Kek, they navigated a World Cup qualifying group containing eventual winners Slovakia, Czech Republic, Northern Ireland, Poland and San Marino. Kek's men won their last four games to earn second place and a play-off against seeded Russia. The hosts led 2-0 in Moscow until Nejc Pečnik struck on 88 minutes. Slovenia won the return leg through Zlatko Dedič's solitary effort at Maribor's Ljudski vrt to advance on away goals.
In September 2016, Slovenia was honoured when the NZS president Aleksander Čeferin was elected as UEFA's seventh president at the body's Extraordinary Congress in Athens. He had served at the helm of the Slovenian association since 2011, and automatically became a FIFA vice-president when he was elected by UEFA'd member associations.

Approved By: President and Faculty Senate
Policy on Final Examinations
Among the tasks of instruction is that of evaluation of a student's performance. Each course has its own particular parameters, and the evaluation procedure in any one course is not necessarily the same as that in other courses. However, the most commonly used evaluation technique is that of periodic written examinations or papers during the course, and a final examination at the end of the course. The final examination procedure has become so universal and accepted that a final examination period is set aside at the end of the semester in most colleges and universities. The policy and procedures involving final examinations at WIU are set out below:
- Within University guidelines, each college through its departments shall be responsible for final examinations in the college. The Faculty Senate and the Academic Vice President of the University shall be responsible for establishing a final examination schedule.
- It is expected that a final examination will be given in each course. However, if the character of a course is such that a final examination is impracticable or unnecessary, the instructor, with the approval of the department chairperson, may waive this requirement. The chairperson of each department shall report to the Dean of the college all courses for which final examinations have been waived. The final examination is considered one of a course's scheduled meeting periods. Thus, a course in which a final is not given must still meet during this time.
- Final examinations for all courses will be administered or collected at the scheduled final examination period. The final examination period will extend over five days. If the instructor wishes to deviate from the final examination schedule, he or she must secure advance written approval from each student in the course, the department chairperson, and the college dean. In the case of multiple-period classes, the first period of the class shall determine the scheduled final examination period. Evening classes will have their final examination during the prescribed final examination period on the evening for which the class is scheduled.
- A student should not be required to complete more than three final examinations on any one examination day. Any student having more than three scheduled exams on one day is entitled to rescheduling. The student should contact the instructor of the course having the smallest enrollment and that instructor must allow a rescheduling of the examination.
- A student who must miss a scheduled final examination for reasons beyond the student's control shall report this fact to the instructor as soon as possible, preferably before the examination period. The instructor should attempt to reschedule the final examination during the final examination period. Students whose absence at the final examination is unexcused should receive a failing grade for the examination. An Incomplete should be given only if the student has a valid excuse for not taking the final and it is impossible to schedule a make-up examination before final grades must be turned in to the Registrar's Office.
- Common (or departmental) finals, which are exceptions to the printed
final examination schedule, must be approved by CAGAS. Requests for
permission to administer common finals in specific courses shall be
forwarded to CAGAS through the department chairperson and college dean.
The original request to administer common finals shall contain justification
for this examination procedure. Permission to administer a common final
exam shall be reviewed by CAGAS every four years.
By the fourth week of each semester each department having permission to administer common finals in specific courses shall forward to the scheduling office through CAGAS a letter of intent to administer common finals that semester.
- Final grades will be due in the Registrar's Office no later than four days following the last scheduled exam.
- No tests or exams are to be given on the Thursday and Friday of the week preceding final exam week, with the exception of laboratory final exams.
- University- and/or student-sponsored activities shall not be scheduled during the final examination period or one calendar day prior to the final examination week. Included are all cultural, athletic, and extracurricular activities. Appeals for exceptions to and interpretations of this policy shall be made to the Council on Admission, Graduation and Academic Standards (CAGAS) -- if there are unusual circumstances surrounding a given event. In no case may such an event be scheduled during a time when a primary participant in an event is scheduled for an examination.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, use of controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product in meal form. There are two further meat meal ingredients, fifth and seventh on the ingredient list. These are a little too far down the ingredients listing to make a substantial contribution to the overall meat content of the food, particularly where the fat content itself (listed ahead of these ingredients) is very low.
The main grains in the food are rice and oatmeal, both of which are decent quality. Beet pulp is filler and a controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. There are no fruits/vegetables in the food, though there is a range of probiotics. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food.
Overall, this food appears to use primarily good quality ingredients, but suffers from low meat content. We note the inclusion of fish meal but do not locate anywhere on the manufacturer site a statement guaranteeing the use of ethoxyquin-free protein ingredients in the food. Ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients and that is banned or heavily restricted in human food because it is believed to be carcinogenic.

Resident Company
Tuscarawas Philharmonic is a Resident Company at the Performing Arts Center
The Tuscarawas Philharmonic was celebrating its 75th consecutive year as the cultural cornerstone of the Tuscarawas Valley when it entered its new home as resident company in the state-of-the-art Kent State Tuscarawas Performing Arts Center in 2010. The liaison has been a fortuitous one, indeed.
A full symphony orchestra under the direction of Eric Benjamin, the Philharmonic presents a varied concert series each season, from the immortal classics to jazz to country, familiar and beloved Christmas music, including a free performance of Handel's Messiah at a local church and our free pops and patriotic concert at Tuscora Park's beautiful amphitheater each Labor Day weekend. Our current season's concerts can been seen at TuscarawasPhilharmonic.org.
The Philharmonic has the distinction of having much to offer all ages, from the many seniors who regularly attend the concerts to the children who attend concerts with their families and who eagerly await the start-up of their chorus each year.
In addition to the orchestra, the organization includes the adult Philharmonic Chorus—open to area singers high school age or older—which performs usually twice during each concert season. The Philharmonic Children's Chorus, with nearly 100 area school children on stage with the orchestra in the annual Yuletide Celebration concert, is approaching the quarter-century mark and boasts many children of former members as current singers.
The Philharmonic addresses an ever-increasing educational need in the face of the many cutbacks affecting arts in public schools. Through student honors ensembles and initiatives that supply free tickets to area high schools, many young people in our area have been introduced to fine music and enjoyed the chance to hone instrumental and choral skills and to perform on stage with a symphony orchestra–an opportunity unequalled in most communities and, even more rare, one free of cost to the participants.
Like most arts organizations, the Philharmonic, every year of its existence, is dependent on generous community support. We thank our loyal sponsors and contributors sincerely and encourage others to add their names at one of the many available levels of sponsorship to the list of those who recognize how crucial it is that we not lose this venerable and irreplaceable treasure which so greatly enhances the quality of life in the Tuscarawas Valley.
An asset of incalculable value to this area, the Philharmonic offers cultural, educational and entertainment opportunities, not only making our communities a more attractive area into which to move a family or locate a business, but also enabling musicians of all ages to use and develop their instrumental and vocal talents.
We are honored to be privileged to do so in the beautiful and elegant setting of the Performing Arts Center.

Rangers bolster 'pen with righty McCutchen
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers have recalled right-handed pitcher Daniel McCutchen from Triple-A Round Rock and designated catcher Chris Gimenez for assignment. The Rangers wanted to add a long reliever after needing five innings out of their bullpen in a 14-10 loss to the Phillies on Opening Day.
McCutchen, who was added to big league camp in the final week of Spring Training, pitched in 108 games for the Pirates from 2009-12, with a record of 8-11 and a 4.77 ERA. He has averaged 10 hits, 3.5 walks and five strikeouts per nine innings in his Major League career. He pitched in five "A" games for the Rangers in Spring Training, allowing six runs on 10 hits and two walks, with seven strikeouts.
"We needed a long guy, and he does have big league time," manager Ron Washington said. "He attacks the zone and isn't afraid. In a pinch, he can go out and get the innings we need."
The Rangers have 10 days to trade Gimenez, release him or get him through outright waivers. The Rangers already have Chris Snyder and Brett Nicholas as their catchers at Round Rock.
Nicholas was a sixth-round pick by the Rangers in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft. He has played 78 games at catcher and 253 at first base in his Minor League career. He is a left-handed hitter who had 21 home runs and 91 RBIs at Double-A Frisco last season, so the Rangers want him to concentrate on catching this season.
Nicholas likely will catch approximately 50 percent of the time at Round Rock. The Rangers want the rest of the time spent keeping a catcher with Major League experience -- either Snyder or Gimenez -- ready if there is a need in Arlington.

- How to improve drug dosing for patients with renal impairment in primary care - a cluster-randomized controlled trial (2012)
- Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk for inappropriate or potentially harmful prescribing. The aim of this study was to examine whether a multifaceted intervention including the use of a software programme for the estimation of creatinine clearance and recommendation of individual dosage requirements may improve correct dosage adjustment of relevant medications for patients with CKD in primary care. Methods: A cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted between January and December 2007 in small primary care practices in Germany. Practices were randomly allocated to intervention or control groups. In each practice, we included patients with known CKD and elderly patients (>=70 years) suffering from hypertension. The practices in the intervention group received interactive training and were provided a software programme to assist with individual dose adjustment. The control group performed usual care. Data were collected at baseline and at 6 months. The outcome measures, analyzed across individual patients, included prescriptions exceeding recommended maximum daily doses, with the primary outcome being prescriptions exceeding recommended standard daily doses by 30% or more. Results: Data from 44 general practitioners and 404 patients are included. The intervention was effective in reducing prescriptions exceeding the maximum daily dose per patients, with a trend in reducing prescriptions exceeding the standard daily dose by more than 30%. Conclusions: A multifaceted intervention including the use of a software program effectively reduced inappropriately high doses of renally excreted medications in patients with CKD in the setting of small primary care practices.
