Go | New | Find | Notify | Tools | Reply |
Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've been on the board, but I've always gotten the best advice here, which I appreciate more than I can say. Our latest project as DIYers: Attempting a very small (money wise) remodeling project for our master bath if our idea is a good one. My husband is relying on me to get my thoughts sorted out and let him know if our plan is feasible, or not, so I'm here to ask the tried-n-true experts. I don't have any pics yet, but I'll do my best to post some tomorrow. For now, I can describe the bathroom as pretty basic and boring, just as we built it 8 years ago – and I'm so ready for a change! The room is approximately 11 x 20, but in that space there are closets in each corner, with one of those garden tubs in between, a shower next to one of the closets on one end, a double sink cabinet across from the tub, and toilet room next to the other closet and opposite from the shower. The entry door is next to the sink base. (The closets are 3-sided in shape on the exterior, with the doors opening into the room at an angle). What we want to do is replace the garden tub with an all-white clawfoot tub. Construction-wise, we'll build columns on either side, possibly with a plain header/beam across the top, supported by the columns. We'd also like to wainscot that area and do a header over the window. Any ideas with this are appreciated. But our main issue is this -- would it work to use a different tile in the tub area, or should we tear out the old tile? The current tile is ceramic, set in a diamond pattern, and it reminds me of the inside of a seashell as far as colors. As mentioned, we want to do the columns and wainscoting, which would separate the two areas. We don't know if our idea will work, but the plan is to put a marble strip across, then use marble brick-style tiles in a herringbone or basket weave pattern. We have a tight budget, both money and time, and would like to keep things as simple as possible, but I don't want to do this if it's a huge mistake. I can be patient with it as long as I have a design goal in mind, and with your help, I will – whichever way you advise. Above all, I want to make wise decisions, as I'll have to live with it for a long time. Another thing, I'll be painting the sink base, white/off white, and getting new hardware. Also will be getting new faucets – shiny nickel finish. Any advice/suggestions appreciated... Thanks!!!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Dazed, | |||
If I understand your layout the current tub is in the center of your room? If so, you could create an "area rug" affect with the tile in the new tub area. Purchase a border that would tie in the existing tile into the new tile, making sure that the heighth of the border is not too tall, but if you do a border and then inset a basic tile it will frame your new gorgeous tub and become a focal point in your room. You could even use a 12 x 12 mosaic and cut it into 4 inch strips as your border as a more cost effective method. | ||||
Hi Claudia, Thanks for helping. The tub isn't in the middle of the room - it's in the middle of the outside wall, with the two closets flanking; otherwise, your idea would work. If I can figure out how to do it, I'll post a pic I took during construction. Be right back. I'm probably missing something, but I don't see any way to post a pic so it must not be allowed on this forum. Thanks again for your help.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Dazed, | ||||

Exploring Nature through ClayArtist Janis KolendaBy Helene Foster
As a child growing up in a small town in Michigan, Janis Kolenda was always infatuated with nature. She curiously explored everything "wild and wonderful outside." Trees, insects, animals, flowers and plants all captivated her. As an adult living in South Florida, she is just as much the explorer, combining her artwork with nature and sharing a love of art with children and adults in the community."In college, I needed to find the artistic material that best represented my interest in nature," she explains. "As soon as I touched clay, I knew I had found my material." As a college art major with biology as her minor, she carved her niche in the creative world.Clay sculpture is Kolenda's unique way of melding nature and art. "I am drawn to the plasticity of the medium and its responsiveness to touch. No matter how many times I take wet clay, manipulate it and finally fire it, turning the material and my impressions to stone, I am continually amazed with the transformation."It is this passion for clay work that has taken Kolenda all over South Florida: to high schools, museums, galleries and even community events to share her artistry. For more than 14 years, Kolenda and her art work have graced the halls of the Coral Springs Museum of Art. There, she teaches students how to mold clay into their own masterpieces. And, this past year, she worked with Coral Glades High School art students to craft a massive mural, entitled Florida Wilderness, that is a permanent fixture at the school. Kolenda also enjoyed being one of six artists to work with area middle and high schools in an art contest for the recent Water Tank Project. A collaborative effort between the Community Foundation of Broward, the Coral Springs Museum of Art and the City of Coral Springs, Kolenda explains that one student's work was selected out of 350 entries and painted on the water tank in Mullins Park. The community was then invited to help paint the last four feet of the tank."Volunteers helped finish the painting during community painting days and then there was a dedication in March," she adds.
After having met the executive director of the Sawgrass Nature Center, Dotty Molski, she knew instantly that it was the right place for her to propose another large-scale work. She envisioned a relief tile mural, which would depict a scene of South Florida and all "birds, raccoons, opossums, squirrels and tortoises' enjoying the outdoor habitat."Through the Our Backyard Wilderness project, she will work on site at the nature center, speak to visitors and get them involved hands-on in the project. Partial funding for this effort has come via a grant from the Broward Cultural Division's Creative Investment Program. She was delighted to be notified in late June that the CIP grant funding will be $2,000. This will allow all visitors to make their own tiles that Kolenda will fire in her personal kiln along with other hands-on opportunities. She is currently hard at work fundraising and promoting the project to make this dream a reality. "We share our outdoor space with these creatures and countless others," she says. "Their lives are at risk daily by their close proximity to man."For more information on these and other art and nature projects with which Kolenda is involved, please visit her website at www.sticks-n-stonesstudio.com.

Tim, when did you get a 2800? I am guessing it is a 48vdc power supply, what amperage? Swap it out for a Keling?
107 volts in, 0.0 volts out. This is the larger original power supply in a DM2800.
Tim, when did you get a 2800? I am guessing it is a 48vdc power supply, what amperage? Swap it out for a Keling?
It's 48V, 5Amp. I finally figured out I don't need an original and been looking at various power supplies on ebay; the Keling is one I'm considering but it looks exactly like some of the cheaper ones with a label pasted on. I'd rather spend some extra $$ on a better one, with a future upgrade in mind. I've spent a lot of time & effort getting the DNC & post processor working with SKIP & was playing with the touch probe (had it working) when the PS went out. Also picked up a rotary axis & want to get that working with the original control, but it's from a 2000/2400 so uses a different driver & a bit of a challenge.
I've had the machine about a year, bought it on ebay, had it shipped, original owner wanted it back after they sold it. I like it, kind of getting used to the quirky nature of the control. Don't have much time to play with it, did some engraving, still on the skid it was shipped on. Can't convince the wife to give me time to pour the cement slab in my barn for it & other machines I've been collecting.
Thought this was Tim/aka 2ferrous.
I've been told my Wisconsin accent sounds Canadian, must be coming thru in my posts, eh?
Nope, not me. I'm sticking to the 2ferrous moniker.
Have you tried Antek - Your reliable source of transformers, power supplies, and more.
I use their power supplies for all my machines.
Dyna Mechtronics DM4400, Bridgeport Discovery 300
BobCad 16, 20, 24 and now V25
Thanks for the recommendation. They have quite the selection.
I won a linear regulated power supply on ebay, 48V 17A, I know a bit large but should fit & medical grade. I'll give an update once it's installed. I hope that solves the problem...
I replaced my power supply on my DYNA 2800 also. I purchase the supply from JAMECO, their part # 161796 @ 149.95 + shipping. Spec. +email@example.com at 240vac;0-8.5A@115vac. Has been running 5 years now! david pontes
Thanks for the suggestions, once I realized it was safe to use a different power supply that met the same specs and fit in the same space it was relatively easy to find one, however there are so many it was hard to choose.
Anyway it's up and running.
There is another used unit available on ebay, same as the one I purchased.
I was very pleased with the qualily of the unit, mounted in the available space using existing brackets, easy hookups, exceeds the required specifications, retails for over $900 new. Buy-it-now for $75.

By the time Gary Johnson was able to get his camera, one of two foxes that were walking along his landscaping wall had run off. The other one hung around for awhile as Johnson took several photos. The final image shows the fox nestled against an old tree stump, possibly waiting for Thanksgiving dinner to wander by.

Coal Combustion Products
Proposed Rule
EPA is proposing to regulate coal ash to address the risks from the disposal of the wastes generated by electric utilities and independent power producers.
Coal combustion products (CCPs), also referred to as Coal Combustion Residuals (CCRs), are the materials produced primarily from the combustion of coal in coal-fired power plants. CCPs include the following materials:
- Fly Ash
- Bottom Ash
- Boiler Slag
- Flue Gas Desulfurization Material (FGD)
- Other types of material such as fluidized bed combustion ash, cenospheres, and scrubber residues
The characteristics and physical properties of CCPs vary. In general, the size, shape, and chemical composition of these materials determines their beneficial reuse as a component of building materials or as a replacement to other virgin materials such as sand, gravel, or gypsum.
The beneficial use of CCPs involves the use of or substitution of coal combustion products for another product based on performance criteria. Beneficially using CCPs can generate significant environmental, economic, and performance benefits.

Food fight: Fish or "sea kitten?"
Written by guest blogger Abigail Tucker, Smithsonian magazine staff writer:
Filet of sea kitten in butter sauce, anyone? PETA's recently launched "Save the Sea Kittens" campaign aims to rebrand fish as cuddly companions rather than swimming repositories of Omega-3 fatty acids. The Web site presents endearing fish facts and potentially nightmare-inducing bedtime stories, like Tara the Tuna's adventures at the sea kitten factory farm. Fishing advocacy groups are not persuaded and apparently even kids -– part of the target audience — find the whole business a bit, well, fishy.
But, of course, the re-christening of fish has been ongoing for decades now. The name "Chilean sea bass" was so enticing to diners that the creature formerly known as the Patagonian toothfish was fished almost out of existence in some waters. "Whore's eggs" were named in poor taste, but "spicy sea urchins" sound mighty tasty. Peekytoe crab was mud crab once upon a time; spotted sunfish was stumpknocker; rock salmon was spiny dogfish.
Someone's got to have a good "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" – type parody for this phenomenon. Why are fish so tempting to rebrand? And would an orange roughy by any other name taste as sweet? (Because they used to be called slimeheads.)

I don't think PETA's effort will have any traction, here. I'm still going to call salmon "yummy," "tasty" and/or "delicious."
The original names have a lot to do with what the fish look like when they're fresh out of the water, with their heads on. Visit any aquarium and there are some truly weird characters swimming around – I love to look at all the varieties of preposterously non-streamlined and magnificently hideous fish in the world. Once they've been filleted, poached and sauced, they tend to look depressingly similar, and much more receptive to an appealing brand name. Still, I prefer my fish with personality…
For an insightful (one-person) discussion about the PETA "sea-kitten" rebranding you should check out The Colbert Report's "Tip of the Hat/Wag of the Finger" section from January 15 wherein noted news analyst Stephen Colbert supports PeTAs cause, saying that it will redouble his efforts to focus on eating more "Land Fish", "Field Potatoes," and "Sky Nachos." Talk about personality…
(see the link )
This is ridiculous…is PETA actively trying to turn itself into a joke? I think fish are easily rebranded because people don't know all of these different species, so it's easy to give them different names. You can't so easily rename a cow or a chicken…
PETA has been a joke for a very, very long time.

Farmers worry that road project will turn productive bees into roadkill
The world's largest managed population of native pollinators in Walla Walla County is in the path of a state road-construction project.
Seattle Times staff reporter
TOUCHET, Walla Walla County — For decades, Mike Buckley has farmed his family place with hard work and the help of millions of native pollinators: alkali bees.
But the bees — and the livelihoods of the farmers who depend on them — are in the path of a proposed widening of U.S. Highway 12, scheduled by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The project includes expansion to a four-lane divided highway, and relocating a stretch of the road to the north — right through the flight path of the growers' bees.
The road is a killer, with accidents since 1991 resulting in more than 400 injuries, according to WSDOT, and claiming 30 lives. No one disputes that improvements, still in the design phase, are needed. The question is how to build the project and do the least harm.
The department already is providing corridors along Interstate 90 to aid the migration of elk, bears, cougars and other animals. Now, it's working to design a road around the needs of a bug.
Enter Doug Walsh, professor of integrated pest management at Washington State University. He and graduate students Natalie Boyle and Amber Vinchesi are in the third year of a four-year, $232,000 study paid for by the department to scope out a solution.
Jason Smith, environmental manager for WSDOT's South Central Region, said the department is looking at a range of strategies, from berms and trees to direct bee flight paths above traffic; to excavating the roadbed in some sections below the level of the bees' flight. Relocation of bee beds might be explored, or paying growers compensation if all else fails.
Stubborn bees
For the scientists, the first step is to figure out just how far, in what direction, and how high the bees fly.
Which is why, if you happened to have been driving a remote country road near Buckley's farm at the height of the pollination season, you would have seen one of the researchers piloting what they call the Vehicular Bee Sweeper: a white SUV tricked out with a custom array of 14 bee nets stacked more than 13 feet high — the height of your average tractor trailer.
So far, the results are concerning.
It turns out the bees fly right in the death zone of a car's or truck's grill, from just one to three feet off the surface of the road.
And the B Team, as they call themselves, erected 14-foot-high plastic screen-mesh barriers, to determine if the bees, when blocked in their route, could be taught to fly over the road. They found the bees would climb to the top of the barrier — then drop right back down to ground level, where the wind provides the least resistance to their flight.
Relocating the beds also is dicey, growers say. "It doesn't always take," Buckley said, "and it's years before you know, and if it doesn't work you have to start over. I have seen many transplants. I can't count how many failed. But I can count on one hand how many were successful."
What about switching crops? The department once suggested that — much to the farmers' disgust. Grower Mark Wagoner said alfalfa is one of the few crops that can be grown in their area, because of limited irrigation water.
Alfalfa can mine the deep soils of this agricultural district, with its up to 100 feet of topsoil left behind by ice-age floods.
And when the plants' deep root systems run out of moisture, the water stress brings on the bloom — worked by the alkali bees. It's a perfect combination, as long as the bees continue to flourish.
17 million strong
Smaller than a honeybee, with metallic blue, green or orange stripes around their abdomens, they are the only successfully managed, native, aggregating, ground-nesting solitary bee species used for pollination in commercial agriculture in the world. And with 17 million tiny fliers, the Touchet Valley is the largest aggregation anywhere.
Growers manage about 120 acres of bee beds they carefully irrigate with pipes buried in the ground, to provide the moist soils the bees need.
They salt the surface of the beds each spring, to draw the moisture up through ground, and discourage vegetation so roots won't invade bees' nests.
The bees are well worth all the trouble: They can increase alfalfa-seed yields as much as 70 percent with their superior pollination performance.
They are the secret to success for Buckley and 15 other alfalfa-seed growers in an 84-square-mile area in the Touchet-Lowden agricultural district of Walla Walla County.
They farm about 12,000 acres of alfalfa seed, making Walla Walla County the second-largest alfalfa-seed producing area in the U.S., with retail sales exceeding $50 million in 2009.
As for switching pollinators — you can forget it, growers say. The alternative to alkali bees is importing nonnative leaf-cutter bees from Canada, Wagoner said, but that's expensive, driving up farmers' production costs.
This land, this crop and these bees are prefect for each other, growers say, and they want a solution that preserves their bees and their industry, not a buyout.
"I don't want to get paid, how can you put a number on those bees? I just want them to come up with a solution," Buckley said.
"I love these girls."

Hugh & Vassie Ward.
The first essential people to the creation of Ward Parkway were the donors of the land. Unlike almost all other boulevard land in Kansas City, Ward Parkway was donated by the Wards to the city. Just as the city voted to annex the district and to accept the gift, Hugh Ward died. His widow, Vassie James Ward, determined to go through with the gift of approximately one-tenth of all land owned by the couple in order to create Ward Parkway. She asked only that it be named in her deceased husbands honor. Vassie James Ward is also known as the founder of Country Day School for Boys and co-founder of Sunset Hill School for Girls, now combined as Pembroke Hill School.

It seems like people are trying harder and harder to top each other on uniqueness of their babies names.
Some of the names were okay, but seriously some people should be slapped. They are naming a future adult. Poor children.

text: Home Culture On Blacks and Fat: McDonald's Senior VP We spoke about fast food and black obesity to Greg Watson, who is tasked with making the chain's menu healthier. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: Oct. 2 2012 12:11 AM 0 Greg Watson (McDonald's) (The Root) -- Obesity is more common in African Americans than in other ethnic groups. But when it comes to black people and weight, that's where the agreement seems to end. Is food the culprit? Is exercise the solution? Is there even a real problem to begin with, or should we be focusing on health -- or even self-acceptance -- rather than the number on the scale? Against the backdrop of a first lady's mission to slim down the nation's kids, black celebs getting endorsements after shedding inches and a booming weight-loss industry, The Root will publish a series of interviews with medical professionals, activists and fitness enthusiasts that reveal the complexity of this issue and the range of approaches to it. For the 14th in the series, we spoke to Greg Watson, senior vice president of menu innovation at McDonald's USA, at a Washington, D.C., event highlighting what the restaurant calls its "nutrition journey." What that means is calorie counts on restaurant and drive-through menus nationwide starting last month, a "Favorites Under 400" campaign featuring lower-calorie items and healthier choices (including more fruits and vegetables, and egg-white breakfast sandwiches on whole-grain English muffins) in the works for 2013. We asked Watson, who's responsible for keeping the McDonald's menu up to date and in line with customer preferences (which, these days, often have to do with health), about what the changes could mean for African Americans and obesity specifically. "We think it is just going to be a natural way for us to help out in the community," he told The Root. Here's what else he had to say about his industry's take on obesity, what the company knows about African-American food preferences and what he believes fast-food fruits and veggies could do for urban food deserts. Read the rest of the interviews in the series here, and check out the rest of The Root's obesity coverage here. The Root: According to the latest statistics, African Americans are 1.5 times as likely as whites to be obese. Did you consider any special focus on the needs and preferences of the black community when revamping the menu to include calorie counts and healthier foods? Greg Watson: When we develop our new menu items, we're thinking pretty broadly about the U.S. population. We know that we serve a lot of customers -- somewhere in the area of 25 million every day. So it's a pretty broad consumer base. But we know that the overall trends are prevalent across multiple segments. The concerns about getting more whole grains, lower-calorie options and portion control, and more fruits and vegetables are applicable to the African-American community. And as we're developing our products, we do focus our development on different ethnic segments. There are a couple of items that do well for various segments. The mango-pineapple smoothies do very well with Hispanic and African-American consumers. The wild berry does extremely well with African-American consumers. So we're excited that we can come up with these products that do well overall, but then they do extremely well with a certain segment. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Micah Vince's '74 Honda CB 360
I have dreams for this humble little blog, I tell you. Big dreams. An mega big corporation, we'd be. A campus with garages, paint shops, powders coaters, chrome platers and all the associated processes you'd need to make a great bike. And a test track - actually multiple test tracks. And a real English cafe with a large section of simulated 1950s London rind road and a free duke box with all the relevant rock 'n' roll racing hits on it. An office staffed by an army of literate bike freaks. Yes yes, I know. Most bike riders can't read - but this is a dream after all. They'd be churning out cool bike posts for the blog every other minute. Thousands of posts a day. And each and every bike would be the coolest thing you'd ever seen. The blog would be so cool, you'd get a headache just reading it. Until that day arrives, all I have to keep the homefires burning is this. A piece from a guest writer, Dave Mucci on his mate Micah's hella good CB 360 - all sent to us by photographer Patrick Daly. God - I feel just like a manager. I wonder if they'd mind me shout at them about some unimportant misplaced comma?

Past Guest Reviews:
Would Definitely Do It Again!
I recently stayed with Sleepafloat during a visit to Baltimore. Several of us were coming to the city to watch a soccer game at M&T Bank Stadium so we thought we would stay the whole weekend. The Aries was a fantastic idea. It is located next to the Fell`s Point area. The location gave us access to a host of great bars and restaurants. The bars were busy but not crowded and the food was good. We used the water taxi to get to the Inner Harbor and walked from there to the stadium. The ride was very quick and gave us a great view of the harbor. The Aries itself was perfect. The beds were comfortable and the living space comfortable fit 6 adults. We spent most of our time on the top deck taking in the scenery and enjoying the weather. We met several of the neighbors who were all very friendly as well. I can`t speak highly enough about our experience. It even made me consider whether I could live full time on a houseboat. Next time I visit Baltimore my first choice will be the Aires. (Britney B - July 2012)
On the Waterfront!
What a great treat. We stayed on a beautiful houseboat (The aries) through Sleepafloat, for 3 nights with 360 degree water views, beautiful night views, in an absolutely fantastic location. First time ever staying on an houseboat and we loved it so much we will be doing this again. Located in Fells Point, which is about 3 mins walking from the Inner Harbour, we had a fantastic time trying all of the fine cafe`s located along cobblestone streets in old Baltimore along with eating crabs on the top deck of the boat every night. the boat is a two bedroom well appointed, able to sleep 5 comfortable. full sized fridge and stove, great living room with flat screen tv, and leather living room set, with washer and dryer.

Introduced during 2011, the 24-Mpix Sony NEX-7 remains a high-watermark for mirrorless models despite recent introductions from rivals. We've now had the opportunity to measure the performance of this camera with a number of promising new lens models. Read on to see how well the combination of Sony's high-resolution APS-C sensor and the very latest E-mount lenses perform. |

Tests on SEL55210 and SEL1855
When will dxomark.com publish information about tests on SEL55210 and SEL1855 Sony E-mount lenses? I would like to compare performance between SEL55210 and SEL18200 in the 55-200 range. I would also like to compare performance between SEL1855 and SEL18200 in the 18-55 range. I have a Sony E-mount camera with its SEL1855 kit zoom lens and I would really like to know how it performs in comparison with other E-mount lenses. Best regards, ddnex.

Heart failure - or congestive heart failure - is a condition that develops over time as the pumping of the heart gets weaker.
It is a dangerous condition in which the heart can no longer keep up with the demands of the body. Although the term itself suggests that the heart has suddenly and completely ceased to function, heart failure often develops gradually and without obvious symptoms.
Memorial Hermann is a leader in the management and diagnosis of heart failure, especially in the case of more complex disease. With appropriate medical and surgical intervention and healthy lifestyle habits, patients with heart failure can continue to live full and productive lives.
In some cases, the heart can't fill with enough blood. In other cases, it can't send blood to the rest of the body with enough force. Sometimes both problems occur. Ultimately, this means the body is not getting the right amount of blood and oxygen it needs to work properly.
Adults over the age of 40 have a one-in-five chance of developing advanced heart failure in their lifetimes, with certain risk factors like high blood pressure and coronary artery disease contributing to an increased risk of the condition.

On-Base Perception
Newsday's new all-encompassing baseball blog on the Yankees, Mets, MLB and more from around the sport.
Could Alex Rodriguez play shortstop if needed?
Alex Rodriguez back at shortstop? The concept may not be so farfetched.
With Derek Jeter still rehabbing his calf strain, and Jayson Nix likely out for the rest of the season with a fractured hand, the Yankees are playing with a three-man bench consisting of one outfielder (Brett Gardner or Vernon Wells), one catcher (Austin Romine or Chris Stewart) and one first baseman (Lyle Overbay or Mark Reynolds).
Manager Joe Girardi said he preferred the extra pitching that keeping Preston Claiborne affords, given that both long-men Adam Warren and David Huff were used extensively during Wednesday's win.
So what happens if regular shortstop Eduardo Nunez, still playing with a tight hamstring, is unable to complete a game?
"[Vernon Wells] lobbied yesterday, and I said, 'I don't think so Vern,'" Girardi said Thursday morning. "I have some ideas.
"You start thinking, how many people do you want to move around for one position? So I have some ideas. Hopefully it doesn't happen, but we'll see."
How about the Yankees current third baseman? You know, the one who used to play a pretty good shortstop before ceding the position to accommodate Jeter?
"I said 'I have some ideas,'" Girardi said to laughter. "I have a left fielder that's played second base, too."
That last comment could mean Girardi doesn't want to open the A-Rod-to-shortstop Pandora's box and would instead prefer to shift Alfonso Soriano to second, the position he played during his first stint with the Yankees, and free-agent-to-be Robinson Cano to short.
But Pandora's box would be a pretty interesting option, too.
Jeter begins his rehab assignment Thursday in Scranton for at least two games.
Alex Rodriguez will play both games for Yankees on Tuesday
With the Yankees hosting a doubleheader Tuesday against the Blue Jays, there's the potential for one day filled with twice the amount of all that comes with Alex Rodriguez.
At the very least, he'll have played in both games.
After Monday's off day, A-Rod played third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the first game. Rodriguez was in the lineup for the second game,...
Read more »Girardi: Yankees not 'over-cautious' on Derek Jeter
It will be a surprise if Derek Jeter rejoins the Yankees by the end of the weekend series that starts Friday night in Boston.
No one will be more surprised than Joe Girardi.
"I wouldn't think so," the Yankees manager said Thursday. "We'll go day by day and see where he's at."
Jeter looked fine as he took batting and infield practice at Yankee Stadium before the afternoon...

All paws rescue, rehabilitation & education is a Small California 501c3 Nonprofit organization dedicated to saving the lives of pets on death row. Our re-homing fee's range from $85-300 per dog/cat, and is decided on by a number of factors.We are not a shelter (we rescue FROM shelters), we do not have a facility or operating hours. All of our dogs/cats are in private foster homes with normal people who have jobs & families. We are 100% volunteer based, with foster homes in LA County and The Inland Empire. We do have periodic adoption events, however, most of our adoptions are by private appointment only.
All of our dogs/cats are spayed & neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea protected, microchipped, and vet checked. Our adoption fee is considered a donation and is 100% tax deductible. Adopters who are in a position to give additional funds Please do so at your discretion.
We are always in need of Foster homes! There is no stronger link in the rescue chain than the foster home. The more foster homes we have, the more animals we can rescue. We can always use supplies, food, anything that will help. Volunteers to help at adoption events are needed also.
We also have a donation link on our website if you would like to make a 100% tax deductible donation. All Paws Rescue - Rehabilitation & Education is a 501c3 Nonprofit Organization.
After you adopt please give us an update from time to time, post a picture on our facebook page. These guys and gals become part of our family while they are waiting for their Forever homes.

Our dogs/cats are in Foster homes you may have to meet them there. A detailed, informative application will take priority over a quickly answered application. All applications must be filled out completely. Please do NOT fill out an application unless you are truly serious about adopting. Once your completed application is received, someone will contact you via e-mail or phone. Our goal is a perfect match for everyone. Filling out an application does not guarantee approval. If everything goes well we can process the adoption. We have a 2 week trial period to make sure your a fit for one another before we finalize the adoption. We have a lifetime return policy on our animals however, we have the application process to help prevent such an issue. It is very important that you are honest when answering the questions in the application. Not all dogs/cats are compatible in all situations. So please be honest in the application process so we can help find the right match.If at any time after the adoption you feel things are not going to work out we will always allow the dog/cat to be returned to All Paws Rescue so we can find a forever home. Donations can not be returned as the funds are used to rescue others.
Our application form can be found on our website. Email it to us for review.

however you missed that libraries can allocate memory as well, and so the libraries must be compiled to only request memory under 4G as well.
The x32 system call ABI

It would have ~all the performance benefits without doubling the libraries in memory. It wouldn't, however, retain the benefit of reduced porting benefit of existing 32bit crapware since pointers in library owned structures would be the other size. ::shrugs::
Posted Sep 11, 2011 3:23 UTC (Sun) by butlerm (subscriber, #13312) [Link]
It would be essentially the same as adding support for 80286 style near and far pointers across the code base. In C, every structure, every header file, every shared pointer declaration would potentially have to be marked whether it was using large or small pointers. The compiler certainly wouldn't know that an arbitrary function or structure declaration was referring to something from a library, and some libraries would have to come in a non-standard flavor in any case.
Now as you say, there are certain advantages to that, in terms of memory and cache footprint. They did it back in the x286 era for a reason. But it is much more impractical to implement that sort of thing across the source code for practically everything then simply to compile under a new ABI, especially if the new ABI performs well enough to be the system default.
A reasonable distribution policy could be to replace x86 with x32, and not ship x86_64 libraries in x32 distributions. It could simply say that if you want have a 64 bit user space, you should use a full 64 bit version. 64 bit addressing could be reserved for the kernel. If I were to guess, half of the people currently planning to use x32 (e.g. in embedded applications) have that sort of thing in mind in any case.

Last night's McCain speech brought to an end 2 weeks of interesting convention developments. We brought you considerable coverage of local folks who were
at those two gatherings. Obviously the star was Gov. Sarah Palin---McCain's
surprising VP pick---at the Texas Hold 'Em table he went all in! She's off to a great
start...but there will be many tests between now and Nov. 4th and a bright spotlight
from mainstream and non-traditional media. McCain (with the added glow from Palin)
might be the only republican who could win this election and Obama might be one of
the few democrats who could lose it. I'm standing by the position that the next two months are all about him. If Obama can develop a greater comfort level with the electorate...he wins. If he remains aloof and mysterious McCain/Palin will pull off the incredible by keeping the GOP in the White-house despite Bush, economy, the war, ect...
I suspect most of the Obama money will be spent linking McCain to Bush. However
they need to make Obama someone to whom people can more easily relate...enter
the hockey mom (minus the Moose eating). People more often vote based on how
they 'feel', not what they 'think'. At least from here it looks like an interesting couple
of months!

Risen 2: Dark Waters trailer reveals a cast of nasties

As Risen 2: Dark Waters' console release date draws ever closer (it was released on PC back in May), the trailers are coming thick and fast. The latest gemn shows off a small selection of the nasties featured in Deep Silver's piratey sequel, and it begs the question: how does anyone get anything done?
Pretty much everything is ready to rip you a new one; even the crabs are huge, mutated, flesh-eating abominations like the "lobstrosity" in Stephen King's Dark Tower series (yeah, we occasionally read between extensive gaming sessions). It makes you wonder how (or, more to the point, why) anybody would travel the wilds of Arborea on foot.
Giant spiders, reanimated seamen (that's sailors, gutter-brain), oversized wasps and, of course, the standard RPG staple of good old hungry wolf aren't just commonplace, they actually outnumber the people by a huge percentage. Luckily, Risen 2's nameless hero and his epic Destiny are around to aid the culling effort by hacking the nastier species of wildlife into tiny pieces. Phew.
Check out this new trailer, entitled "The Bestiary of Arborea", for a sneak peak at some of the monstrous residents of Piranha Bytes' fantasy world.
Risen 2: Dark Waters is developed by Piranha Bytes and published by Deep Silver. It is scheduled for release on August 3rd. For more information, visit the official site.
