Playing favorites
All of us practice affirmative action-when it is on our own terms
IF I REPORTED TO YOU IN THIS SPACE THAT THE marketing department at WORLD had decided to offer a free subscription to every single military person you know who participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom, the likelihood is strong that you might respond appreciatively, saying that was a nice and generous and patriotic gesture.
But if I also reported that we were extending the same free-subscription offer to anyone of African-American descent, the likelihood is equally strong that I'd stir up a storm of protest-especially if I called it an affirmative-action program to increase WORLD's readership among neglected minority groups.
All of which is to argue that none of us really knows what he or she believes about affirmative action. Most of us treat the issue with a huge set of double standards.
Most of us don't like favoritism. But all of us, at one time or another, play favorites. My mother always treated her eight children with extraordinary fairness. But if she hadn't now and then singled out various ones of us for some motherly affirmative action, none of us would have made it through childhood. If we see-and appreciate-such behavior in our earthly parents, it's because we see there a reflection of the character of God. He is both perfectly fair in all His dealings, and yet perfectly free to offer special attention to one of His children whenever He pleases. And aren't you glad He has and exercises that freedom?
What we really don't like, I think, is for favoritism to be institutionalized. Affirmative action has earned its bad reputation not for the good things it has accomplished (and they are many) but because mere humans have regularly overestimated their ability to construct and use such a delicate tool effectively.
Howell Raines, until recently the editor of the vaunted New York Times, thought he was smart enough to use affirmative action in managing his editorial team of 1,000 or more people. But it blew up in his face. He ended up hurting (and even stereotyping) some of the very people he wanted to help.
For a generation and more, American society has presumed it was smart enough to devise mandatory mathematical formulas enabling young women to find equal opportunities (academically and athletically) in our nation's schools. Now BusinessWeek reports of a "New Gender Gap," and that "from kindergarten to grad school, boys are becoming the second sex." We tinker around, and then we institutionalize our tinkering-only to discover we may have over-tinkered.
I still grimace at my own painful experience on such a front. I was headmaster 30 years ago of a small Christian high school. The parents, the board, the faculty, and I were determined not to be seen as a segregationist academy. So we boldly established our own affirmative-action program, raising special scholarship money, and recruiting a dozen minority students to join the 40 students already enrolled.
The original 40 students were educationally advantaged boys and girls; the dozen newcomers had extraordinarily bad educational backgrounds, through no fault of their own. And the disparity between the two groups took its toll on us all. Intentions were good, but hurtful stereotypes were reinforced almost every day. The very things we wanted to avoid enveloped us. What I learned was that you have to be very smart indeed (much smarter than I was) to control all the variables of an affirmative-action effort.
So does that mean we never engage in affirmative action? Hardly. If it's right to "affirm" a student who is especially good on the French horn, or who can run very fast, or who seems to be a born leader, then it is just as right to "affirm" a student because we want to help somebody from the inner city make it into the mainstream of life. And yes, let's admit that the French horn player we gave preference to, along with the fast runner and the student leader, almost certainly displaced some other possibly deserving student. To a certain extent, that's life.
And we need to remember that one reason some folks try to institutionalize affirmative action is that injustice has itself very often been institutionalized.
But two wrongs still don't make something right. I propose two cautions in the exercise of affirmative action. First, deliberately limit the scope of the remedy. If you can take care of the matter informally, or individually, try not to establish company or organizational or societal policies. (That caution, incidentally, almost precludes federal governmental initiatives). Second, limit the duration of the remedy. Establish a sunset policy for any rules you do set in place.
Just don't kid yourself. You believe in affirmative action. Like all of us, you just want to be the one who says where and when it is practiced.

Morgan pays tribute to Trott
Follow the NatWest Series on ecb.co.uk - click here for live scores, exclusive interviews, breaking news, features, match reports and photo galleries
Eoin Morgan led a fresh-faced England side to victory over his native Ireland but hailed the old man of the team for setting up the result.
At 30, Jonathan Trott was comfortably the elder statesman of a side that included three debutants and three more players with 11 caps between them.
The fit-again Warwickshire batsman produced a typically stoic innings at the top of the order, top-scoring with 69 in 105 balls and sharing in the only century stand of the match alongside Morgan.
England's 201 for eight was enough to see them to an 11-run win after Ireland fell short of their rain-revised Duckworth-Lewis target of 129.
Trott's reluctance to up the ante after passing 50 may provide critics of his languid style with more fuel, but with new boys James Taylor and Ben Stokes falling cheaply and wickets tumbling thereafter, Morgan was delighted to have Trott's experience at the crease.
"It was a challenging day for us. Going on and off for the rain wasn't easy and batting first wasn't easy," said Morgan, captaining his adopted country for the first time in his hometown.
"It was hard to say what was a good score on that wicket, so we're very happy with the result.
"Trotty is invaluable to our team and has been for a couple of years, since he has been involved.
"Today he was crucial to our success and the majority of times he scores runs we win, which is fantastic. He judges the wicket really well and we take great advice from him."
Morgan, who made 59 against his former team-mates, was also impressed with Jade Dernbach.
The Surrey seamer continued his form from the Sri Lanka one-day series to claim three wickets, including danger man Kevin O'Brien.
"Jade bowled extremely well," said Morgan. "The wicket was difficult and it was really hard to read the slower ball. It was quite dry underneath and a bit patchy so going from 85mph to a slower ball was really hard to pick up. It's a hell of a skill and Jade has it.
"He stepped up in the last series too, especially at Old Trafford when he finished the game off. We haven't had someone like that for a long time and he certainly fits the bill."
Ireland captain William Porterfield was disappointed that his side's chase was condensed to 23 overs after the rain break, but admitted the final equation of 87 runs off 60 balls was achievable as long as Kevin O'Brien was around.
The big-hitting all-rounder memorably scored the fastest World Cup hundred in history to shock England in Bangalore and briefly threatened another upset.
He dispatched debutant Scott Borthwick for two steepling sixes in his only over, but eventually fell to Dernbach for 26 in 15 balls.
"There was frustration and disappointment, it would have been nice to get a full game in," said Porterfield.
"Unfortunately rain played a part and to go out and go back, stop and start, was disappointing.
"But then Kevin was in and he got the spinners off fairly quickly. Another few overs of him and it would have been over fairly quickly."
Porterfield would also have liked to get rid of his childhood team-mate Morgan cheaply but accepts his failures are less frequent now than his successes.
"It would have been nice to get him, he's one of England's best one-day players. He's quality and he showed it again today," said Porterfield.
"He's a class act and he's going to score runs no matter the track and against any bowling attack. It was nice to get him for 50 actually, that's probably pretty cheap these days."

text: I currently have a Carrera Subway 2, however I recently purchased a Specialized P3 Dirt Jump . As the P3 is a much smaller bike in comparison, I know rides would not be as comfortable, so instead of selling on the P3, my friend suggested I swap out the Subway 2 headset and forks for the Marzocci Bomber forks on the P3, and switch the disc brakes (slightly bent rotors) for the caliper brakes from the P3, exchanging the wheels along with this. Is this wise? Or would I be better off leaving them both stock/customizing the P3 with Carrera parts instead of the vice versa, any advice on achieving the best combination of parts welcomed, thank you!

Christina Hendricks, who is a spokesperson for Johnnie Walker, kept her famous cleavage under wraps last night (October 22, 2013) at and event last night at the Santa Monica Museum of Art in Santa Monica, California for Johnnie Walker Platinum.
NPR got ahold of the menu of the evening, and it was quite eclectic. She dined on Venision, Pine gelee, Blackberry beet-blueberry meringue, Cocoa coffee soil, Hen of the woods butternut squash, Crab yuzu kosho, Brussel sprout, Masago, Halibut mascarpone onion jam profiterole candied lemon gelee romaine aioli snap pea blue lake, Poblano hooks puree, Sopiapillas and Romano bean-dried cherry quail just to name a few of the items on the menu.
Who knows if she ate them all, but she is quite the foodie, so I'm guessing that she at least sampled everything. Christina wore a black wool cocktail dress by Sportmax, along with Amrapali diamond earrings and ring.

Additional Information
About Micro Start/AFDThis loan is administered by Micro Start/AFD, Kiva's first Field Partner in Burkina Faso. Micro Start/AFD's mission is to improve families' living conditions in general, and those of women in particular, by facilitating access to financial and non-financial services.
Micro Start/AFD is a professional microfinance institution offering financial services, advice, and training. One of the organization's principal aims is to collect obligatory and voluntary savings that foster clients' financial independence. Micro Start/AFD also focuses on building female entrepreneurs' skills in management and business administration and improving the living conditions in its clients' communities. More information can be found on Micro Start's Kiva Field Partner Page.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Council members clash in Olyphant
OLYPHANT - Tensions among some council members came to a head this week when a motion to unseat the council president failed narrowly.
A day after Councilwoman Dina Harrington's motion to remove Robert Hudak as council president failed, she and other council members expressed concern about his leadership, which Ms. Harrington likened to a dictatorship. Mr. Hudak said the claims were political.
Jo Ann Jason, Dave Mitchko and Ms. Harrington voted to remove him from the position at Tuesday's meeting. Councilmen Michael Abda, Robert Hooper, Jerry Tully and Mr. Hudak voted no.
After the meeting, Ms. Jason also asked why Mr. Hudak denied her request to be on a committee negotiating with PPL EnergyPlus. Mr. Hudak, borough manager and solicitor C.J. Mustacchio and borough electrical engineer Alan Kosydar are negotiating how nearly $360,000 of electricity the borough wasn't charged for will be repaid, after a faulty meter failed to register the use.
"I want to hear it with my own ears," Ms. Jason said Wednesday. "I want to be able to ask questions and make sure I have answers."
Mr. Hudak said it is the president's duty to appoint committees, which report back to the council and a smaller group was preferable during negotiations.
But both councilwomen said issues they raise are regularly disregarded.
"He feels as though what we say doesn't count," Ms. Harrington said, adding she believes he will be unseated when the council reorganizes in January.
"Quite frankly we're tired of getting bullied around," Ms. Jason said.
Mr. Hudak said the criticism has come after he didn't support Mr. Mitchko, who failed to win a nomination in the primary election.
"They're trying to do anything they can to find fault with me," he said. "I'm not a dictator and I try to run a sensible meeting."

I am sure she is a nice person and all, but what in the hell do swimsuit photos and soft-porn like promotions for godaddy and the like have to do with racing. She is a disgrace as a role model, much less a female races role model. Imagine guy racers constantly stripping down to speedos and showing of their muscles and (tiny) packages in order to lure in women spectators.

Los Alamitos, Calif., June 23, 2002—The USA men's water polo team came out on the top end of an exclusion-marred game with Newport in the championship of the American Water Polo League at the USA Water Polo National Training Center in Los Alamitos on Sunday (June 23). By the end of the game, a total of 26 exclusions, one penalty, and two game ejections had been called. But once the water had settled, the U.S. had come away with the title in the first year of the AWPL.
Adam Wright started the day's scoring with an extra-man goal from the point and Layne Beaubien gave the U.S. a 2-0 lead just a minute later with a goal from two meters. Ryan Bailey, who scored 14 goals in Round Robin play, buried the first Newport goal with 5:55 to play in the quarter.
The U.S. took a 4-2 lead with just under five minutes remaining in the period on a goal by Jeff Powers. A goal by Dan Klatt with 2:34 in the quarter brought Newport to within one at 4-3 and a goal by Marc Hunt just before the end of the quarter tied the game at 4-4. With 10 seconds to go, Hunt was excluded for Newport, setting up a six-meter penalty throw for the U.S. Wigo converted and the U.S. led, 5-4 at the end of the quarter.
Dreason Barry leveled the score at 5-5 on a one-on-one breakaway skipper past U.S. goalkeeper Merrill Moses with 3:43 to go in the third. Wigo regained the U.S. advantage on a six-meter penalty on the next possession and Bailey netted a six-meter of his own a minute later to tie the score at 6-6. Team USA's Jeff Nesmith untied the knot with a goal on an interior pass by Spencer Dornin, but Newport earned a six-meter penalty with eight seconds left that was cashed in on by Bailey to tie the score again at 7-7 before the half.
The second half began the same as the first half ended…with an exclusion. Garret Gentry's kickout set up an extra-man score by Wolf Wigo to give the U.S. an 8-7 lead with 7:21 in the quarter. A score by Layne Beaubien with 5:55 on the clock gave the U.S. a two-goal lead since early in the first quarter. However, Bailey's fourth goal on the next possession cut the deficit to 9-8.
The U.S. led 11-9 heading into the fourth quarter. With 4:28 remaining in the game, Bailey was handed a game exclusion for misconduct, but U.S. keeper
Merrill Moses was called for a penalty, resulting in a six-meter penalty score by Hunt for Newport to make the score 11-10. At this point, due to the excessive physical nature of the game and continuing player reaction from the pool, the referees called the captains poolside to advise them that the game could be called if the misconduct kept up.
Brett Ormsby's shot with 2:23 to go in the game, hit off of a field player and floated across the goal line to give the U.S. a 12-10 edge. But with 2:01 remaining in the contest, the referees called a halt to the game, giving the U.S. the 12-10, time-shortened victory.
Following the game, Ryan Bailey (18 goals) was named as the league's Most Valuable Offensive Player. World All-Stars netminder Marco Gerini (39 saves) was named as the League's Most Valuable Goalkeeper, while Team USA guard Layne Beaubien took home Most Valuable Defender honors.
Team USA will be back together next Friday (June 28) as they take on Croatia in the debut of the FINA World Water Polo League at the USA Water Polo National Aquatic Center in Los Alamitos at 7:00 p.m. The teams will meet up again on Sunday (June 30) at 5:00 p.m. in the final meeting between the two on U.S. soil. FINA World League tickets are still on sale and can be purchased by contacting the City of Los Alamitos at 562-430-1073, by calling the USWP National Office at 719-634-0699, or by logging on to www.usawaterpolo.com
The All-Stars took third place over Long Beach with a 13-7 win. Long Beach Shore got on the board first with a goal by Aaron Holloway with 6:56 to go in the first quarter, but the All-Stars went on to score four unanswered and never looked back. Alberto Ghibellini scored three goals in a balanced All-Stars attack that saw nine players break into the score column. All-Stars goalkeeper Marco Gerini tallied nine saves, including one on a penalty shot attempt by Shore. Holloway, Albert Garcia, and Chris Segesman each had two goals in the loss for Long Beach.

text: Pin-up never stops amusing us. You can look through hundreds of pin-up illustrations a day, and you will still be longing for something new. All images that are done in this style are adorable which is a common thing if we're talking about the images of beautiful playful girls. The rapidly-raising popularity of this style during the recent years is doubtless. Now, let's see how it looks in the style of Marilyn Monroe.


text:
Kryptonsite has thirteen new preview images of a very tropical themed episode called "Hypnotic," which will be seen on March 30th.
According to Variety (subscription required), director Jonathan Mostow has backed out of directing the Will Smith-fueled adaptation, because Mostow and Smith found they weren't on the same page creatively. Mostow will remain on the project as executive producer. The studio will begin the search for a new director quickly so that the project can stay on track for a June start.
Speaking of Variety, the trade also reports that Rick Peters ("Close to Home") has joined the cast. No information is given about his character.
Director Mark Steven Johnson swung by the Superhero Hype message boards to let fans know when they'll get a good look at Johnny Blaze. "The long wait for a theatrical trailer is almost over," Johnson wrote. "Look for 'Ghost Rider' to be on 'X-Men 3!' May is almost here! You'll get to see him on the big screen (if only for a minute) instead of on your computer." He also lets slip a spoiler based on collectibles from the film.
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello says "former 'Dawson's Creek' star Kerr Smith is pretty interested in slipping on the green ensemble."
Actor Vinnie Jones has been especially chatty, including a new interview with About.com, where he talks about who he fights and who he hung out with off camera. "With Wolverine mainly," Jones said. "It was incredible, Brett wanted most of the actors to do as much as they can. I mean, Halle Berry does this amazing stunt where she spins down about 40 feet and goes through this garden through the wall and she does it all herself. Its awesome. And weve done some frightening stuff. Its so great with that because me and Halle and Hugh worked on 'Swordfish' together so it was a little reunion. We had good fun."
Gotta get in those last news bits before the Friday opening. British magazine Digit has a somewhat spoiler-esque article about the effects for the film, especially blowing things up. Mmm, blowing things up is cool.
M&C Movies has a tidbit they caught from a Spanish newspaper where director Ang Lee confirmed his involvement in bringing Shang Chi to the big screen.
Actress Elizabeth Banks is reprising her role of Betty Brant in the web-spinning sequel, and she's quoted at Sci Fi Wire as not being sure how involved she really is. "I learned my lesson a long time ago that everything can be cut," Banks said. "You should maybe write Sam Raimi a letter. I'm very aware of [the character's history]. Make him aware. Tell him I'm actually Venom!"
Here's where you get in on the action. Did you see a link we didn't catch? Have you snuck into a closed movie set, and have inside data? Maybe your cousin is dating somebody who knows something, and they had to tell you? Whatever it is, we wanna know it all -- fire off an email and let us know whether you want your name used or your contributions to geekdom to go down anonymously. Broadcasting live from Los Angeles, this is novelist/karaoke host/all-around lunatic Hannibal Tabu saying thanks for your time and indulgence, and [tagline sent back to development hell until something hipper can be dreamed up].

Unless you've been living under a rock for several months you will have heard a peculiar little phrase that doesn't make any sense unless you know it's an acronym. YOLO. It may have been screamed at you at night in a city centre by some girls with skin colour resembling a terracotta warrior. You might have heard the hipsters and snapback 'n' vest kids shout it as they perform their latest idiotic escapade to prove they live by their own rules and have their own testicles as opposed to the rest of us. I recently tried writing it in my phone and autocorrect changed it to holocaust. I think the laughter when I noticed was slightly tempered by a sense of inevitable dread that in fact my Siri was trying it's best to warn me, Terminator-style, of a doomed future.
So what does it mean? YOLO – You Only Live Once. Coined by Drake in his song 'The Motto' around the 2 minute mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoVg5dG6o_Q
There are 5 reasons I believe that this phrase is destroying our civilisation:
1. It's making people scared and therefore more boring.
I live in a constant state of fear of even loosely being thought of as a Yolo'er. I tried to convince some friends to sign up for sky diving and snorkelling with sharks with me last week and they
understandably refused. Normally I would try to convince them with a subtle combination of belittling their self worth (shouting scaredy cat) and emphasising the potential benefits of changing their position (come oooon). But now I feel such a sense of paralysis at the thought of accidentally saying Yolo like some possessed Drake-ite that I fear I'll eventually retreat into a position where I do nothing exciting ever again. All because of Drake. I hope he's too terrified to spend any of his money and spends his days locked in a bunker with an array of soft pillows, hard helmets and guides to surviving the nuclear holocaust. I think that's the way I'm going.
2. It's making people more stupid.
Two of my old friends are dedicated Yolo'ers. If I didn't have a history of friendship before Yolo with these people then I would probably have pushed one of them in a river by now. I have had the opportunity.
Not only is the phrase offensive to Cats and Buddhists but the context in which the majority of people use it is a really illogical inference. They think the fact you only live once means you have to act like a maniac.I don't want to know how many ambulance calls have to be made purely because some moron has shouted Yolo at another moron. It leads to things like this http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/may/29/miami-man-eating-face-lsd because for a short sighted moment they think it's funny. (I'm not actually suggesting that Yolo leads to face eating yet but surely it can only be a matter of time).
3. It doesn't make sense.
As many have pointed out there is a Yolo paradox. Why do stupid things to ruin/end life if you only live once? What the phrase seems to be trying to convey is 'Carpe Diem' The latin for 'seize the day', meaning live life to the fullest. As discussed very eruditely by this high school professor at his school's graduation ceremony you can and should live EVERY day of your life for enjoyment and good in itself not just live as there is only one day left on the planet ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lfxYhtf8o4 ) . The phrase should not be an excuse for mindless self indulgence. You should climb Kilimanjiro so that you can see the world, not so that the world can see you. The phrase should really be you live only once not you only live once. Shame it doesn't roll off the tongue as easily to say YLOO but it would be nice if the phrase stood for selflessness and not selfishness.
4. It popularises Drake and his terrible music.
I hope to God this phrase is a craze as intense and short lived as this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tauYnVE6ykU .I dislike Drake's music and think he's an unfortunate progression in the terrible new wave of rappers such as Soulja Boy, Li'l Wayne, Gucci Mane etc who are helping destroy hip hop. If we're going to have rap and hip-hop move in a new direction can it not be this one? (so awesome)
Unfortunately the current new wave of mainstream hip-hop artists seem primarily interested in bragging about all the money they have with the occasional mention of a ghetto and an array of blatant and arrogant swipes at other rappers like Ludacris who actually have some talent (even if he collaborates with Justin Bieber these days and seem to have given up on his immortal soul)
5. It leads to people in civilised society doing this…
and this (this foot is male by the way):
So please. Think. Stop Yolo'ing. Or I'll start looking for a source of immortality so that I can make you stop.

Preserve and protect
Personal Finance | Unnecessary risk leads to failed strategy
My last several articles explored the concept of "financial accumulation" and defended some principles for properly accumulating financial savings: diversification, goal-setting, compounding, and re-balancing. But, as in so much of the Christian life, black-and-white lessons are often hard to come by. Instead, God had graciously provided us principles from which Christians need to derive real-life lessons.
One example of the need for applying biblical wisdom from the principles of Scripture is in the concept of "capital preservation," which means that believing investors must seek to preserve and protect funds diligently accumulated for financial needs and goals.
That may sound as simple as investing in safe instruments like CDs and money market funds: Yes, a lowering of investment risk is part of preservation. But, along with protecting our capital (or "preserving" it) from the risk of investment losses, we also ought to preserve our assets from the effects of inflation and taxes.
A portfolio of $100,000 falling in value to $80,000 can jeopardize our financial goals. So can a portfolio that sees its purchasing power decline by 20 percent. A portfolio value unnecessarily diminished by taxes also undercuts what an investor has worked hard at achieving. Inflation and taxes are part of the present economy and are likely to be with us for some time, but their effects can be contained. For example, depending on income bracket, the safe preserving of capital in a fully taxable CD may be inferior to the idea of a tax-free money market fund. As another example, perhaps an inflation-protected U.S. Treasury bond, or inflation-adjusted immediate annuity, represents a better source of income creation than traditional taxable bonds.
The most common contributor to a failed capital preservation strategy is unnecessary risk past the point of asset accumulation. While a superior rate of return is an understandable and admirable goal during the accumulation phase, I encourage you to turn down the dial of risk and volatility once those goals have been achieved. Explore with your financial advisor, or through the abundant supply of financial resources available on the web, the various vehicles available to savers and investors to keep their funds safe from volatility.
Many people have relied on the value of their homes to help meet financial obligations in recent years, only to find out as they needed to draw funds that the values of their homes have declined. A proper capital preservation strategy would have addressed this in advance of the need for capital. A significant difference exists between investors accumulating funds and investors using their funds. Make sure your portfolio properly addresses this difference. It is the biblical view of preservation.

The Candle Filter is specifically engineered for EDM, Tungsten carbide tool and cutter grinding, honing and precision grinding applications. The superior fluid removal after the purge cycle in the Candle Filter affords 85% less maintenance over other filtration methods with comparable particle retention. For most machining and grinding applications this means changing the sludge bag every four months versus every two weeks.

Not too often one finds a bike in the bushes at work. I saw it mid-day yesterday and figured someone had trouble and left their bike to be picked up later. Still there at end of day today. Went to check it out and lo and behold it's fixed!
Had fun in the parking lot, but now I am wondering how to get it back to the owner. I am thinking someone stole it and quickly found out they couldn't ride it. I have been posting locally, and will put up a "found" sign in the building. Any other ideas?

The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch
Exact gauges is not imporant to this project.
Yo (yarn over) An increase that also creates a small eyelet.
In this pattern, the yo is worked as follows:
Bring yarn to front, between the needles.

When Is Pregnant Jenna Dewan-Tatum Due?
Channing Tatum and his expectant wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, are about to become parents any day now, and the world is waiting with bated breath to catch a glimpse of their undoubtedly adorable offspring.
The couple, who announced the pregnancy in December, have remained mum on whether they're having a boy or a girl, but Chan has revealed some important details on where he and Jenna will welcome his "greatest production yet."
"We're going to actually have the baby in London while I'm shooting, and then there will be no downtime whatsoever after that," he noted at the Oscars.
Jenna, who revealed that she had "a few more months" to go in her pregnancy at the Oscars in February, has already headed over to the UK, giving way to speculation that the baby's due date is almost here.
While she's spent most of her pregnancy with a barely visible bump, she looked ready to pop in London just last week, where her husband is filming Jupiter Ascending opposite Mila Kunis.
While the combination of a location change and the changes in her body could have thrown another actress into a tailspin, Jenna has revealed she's keeping her cool, even as the days to baby draw near.
"I thought my body was going to change so quickly with pregnancy that I'd freak out. But it was really gradual. There's a reason women are pregnant for nine months; by the end, you're ready to have this baby," she told Glamour. "Channing has been great. He takes the route of no confrontation, just support, saying things like, 'Do whatever you want! What do you want to eat? I'm going to leave it up to you.'"
Channing confirmed his laissez-faire attitude to E! Online, admitting he's just been happy to bask in the glow of his pregnant love. "I think it's one of the sexiest things ever!" he revealed.
This is one couple that may rival their own baby for sheer cuteness.

Visit Hard And Alone
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
I decided a while back to take a "celibatical," as I would call my break from the world of dating and sex. So Hard And Alone is certainly a site to which I can relate. Plus, seeing these hunks masturbating until they spew their spunk is exactly the kind of inspiration I look for when it comes time for me to take my libido into my own hands.
Not giving into the carnal desires of another's flesh definitely leaves me choking the life out of my chicken at times (don't worry, like a phoenix he always rises again). I only wish that HardAndAlone offered a larger deposit for the old spank bank, but I can't even tell how often there's an update.
You'll only find 10 videos and although they're good in quality, they can only be streamed. They list standard, 720p and HD 1080 options, but I found that they're all the same in quality. You also get a short trailer and a five-minute clip that shows the clothed beginning, stripped naked middle and creamy end, with some of the more repetitive stroking edited out.
Can I just say that they chose the perfect models for me? I love body and facial hair and these guys have just the right amount of both. I'm sure some manscaping has been done to their chests and beards because they're neatly trimmed and don't look too bushy. There are a few smooth-skinned studs too and one of them is a redhead. You'll also see some big, thick cocks.
I love their fit bods and uncut rods in some cases. These hotties have well-developed chests and biceps and their flat stomachs reveal their abs the most when they're sitting or lying back in a semi-crunch position. Pornstar Dominic Pacifico is one dude whose body is the perfect specimen of what I've described and his massive dick also has its foreskin intact.
Clearly I could ogle these male beauties for hours, although with a mere 10 vids that's going to be hard to do. That's why I was excited to see that there are also 10 photo galleries, but that soon turned to disappointment. The pics are relatively large and crisp enough, but there are no Zip files and I expected them to be even bigger and more impressive on a site this small.
The cost to join is about $18, so it's certainly more reasonably priced than many other sites. However, there isn't enough here and there aren't any bonuses. Hard And Alone needs to grow because right now it's so small that it'll leave you with blue balls.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Issuma's decks have been painted with a two-part epoxy paint (Ameron 235) with sandpaper grit mixed in. This works well in most conditions (though the grit is sharp, so it is tough on clothes and sails), but not in packed snow (ie, snow compressed by boots) or ice. The best thing I know of for a non-skid surface in packed snow and ice is Treadmaster, which comes in sheets that you cut to size and then glue onto the deck.
I bought a couple of sheets of Treadmaster on EBay, and cut them into pieces to go along the decks beside the pilothouse (the highest-traffic areas).
The UK company that makes Treadmaster sells glues for attaching it to the deck, but they are not designed for application in Alaskan winter temperatures. I've learned by trial and error (mostly error) not to try applying adhesives in temperatures below what the labels say to apply in.
I tried the following for glue:
* Ameron 235 two-part epoxy. This is a paint, but I have successfully used it as an adhesive many times.
* PL 400 adhesive sealant from the local building supply store
* OSI Quad sealant from the local building supply store
So far, all the glues have worked well, but its only been a couple of months. If I find one is better or worse than others, I'll update this.

Note that sails are bent on, so I think Woniya sails or motorsails some of the time (or else just uses the sails to reduce the rolling).

This fishing schooner was in Sitka a while back, I didn't get a chance to talk to the crew, but they definitely were commercial fishing.

The weather is much nicer now that spring has arrived. While setting sails on a testsail a few days ago, a local motorboat came over to say hello. They kindly took some pictures of us.
The main staysail has a 3-year old Facnor furler. The design makes adjusting stay tension more difficult than the much older Sarma design, and the Facnor seems to have more friction than it should (considering the small size of the sail that is on it), but overall, it functions adequately.

The easy part was cutting off the old bowsprit with an angle grinder. Then, without the bowsprit in the way, I could see how the anchor could be made secure.
I had some stainless steel pipes bent to the angle of the plates where the bow rollers were, and welded them on (the anchor shank and chain run between them). At first I used my wire-feed ReadyWelder, which is a device that runs on batteries--12, 24 or 36 volts. I welded the first pipe on with 24 volts, and, after doing some hammering, it broke off, as the penetration wasn't good enough. I had better results from adding another battery to get to 36 volts, but even better results when a neighbor on the dock lent me his stick welder (which plugged into shore power). Another neighbor who was a former pipeline welder helped me get the machine setup correctly.
I tried to bend the old pulpit into shape to be able to use it, but was not successful, so put a piece of blue, reinforced plastic hose in place for now.
The anchor is now held in place by the windlass holding the chain, a safety chain hook, and by turnbuckles on either side that attach to shackles in holes drilled into the anchor. I think the anchor will stay securely in place well when the waves push across it.
Final painting is still to be done.

Last year, friends moved the jibstay off Issuma's bowsprit so the bobstay could be removed (the bobstay was taking a real beating breaking ice). I wanted to test-sail the boat for a while before removing the old bowsprit (which was then just excess weight in a bad place).
It has taken me a while to get around to doing this job. For the Northwest Passage trip, the bowsprit proved a useful place to store the grapnel anchor I carried for use as an ice anchor.
Here is Issuma with the bowsprit still on.

Release 5.0.13_GA_2791.UBUNTU8 UBUNTU8 FOSS edition
I have two email domains I want to receive email for.
@aaa.com works (Inbound SMTP Host: mx1.mailhop.org)
@bbb.com does not (Inbound SMTP Host: smtp.easydns.org)
Using LINUX:
# nslookup
> set type=mx
> aaa.com
Non-authoritative answer:
aaa.com mail exchanger = 20 mx2.mailhop.org.
aaa.com mail exchanger = 10 mx1.mailhop.org.
> bbb.com
Non-authoritative answer:
bbb.com mail exchanger = 4 smtp.easydns.com.
Mail for aaa.com is sent to my zimbra server from mx1.mailhot.org
Mail for bbb.com is sent to my zimbra server from smtp.easydns.com
Under the admin GUI, I added @bbb.com Inbound SMTP host name: smtp.easydns.com
When I click on the "Check MX Record" button, it fails, the details say this:
Domain is configured to use SMTP host: smtp.easydns.com. None of the MX records match this name. Found the following MX records:
4 smtp.easydns.com.
smtp.easydns.com is what I have in the field, I don't get it. When I click the button for @aaa.com the mx record is correct (mx1.mailhop.org)
I can send email from both accounts, however, I can only receive email for @aaa.com (the one with the working mx) @bbb.com, I can't receive email for.
Anyone run into this?

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Adam Lancia has been named head coach of the University of Alabama women's wheelchair basketball team.
Lancia previously coached the ASV-Bonn German First Division team from 2008-11 and the Nova Scotia Flying Wheels first division team in Halifax from 2012-2015. Ha also has played for the Canadian National team since 2001 and has won two gold medals and a silver medal as a player across three Paralympic Games since 2004.
"The timing of this opportunity is tremendous," Lancia said. "From speaking with (assistant coach) Adam Kramer, he can't say enough about the resources and how supportive the university is of our team and Alabama Adapted Athletics."
Dr. Brent Hardin, director of UA Adapted Athletics, has followed Lancia's career since his days as a college player at the University of Illinois, where Lancia helped lead the Illini to a national championship in 2003. He said Lancia's extensive experiences at every level of wheelchair basketball will help UA continue its championship success.
"He is a cerebral teacher in the gym but also a fiery motivator that will hold our team accountable," Hardin said. "I think our student athletes ware really going to enjoy playing for Coach Lancia. We feel he is exactly the right coach for Alabama and we are confident he will help our players realize their full potential."
Lancia takes over for Elisha Williams, who resigned at the end of the 2015-16 season. Williams won a national championship as a player and one as a coach, leading the Crimson Tide to it fourth women's national championship in 2015.
UA we 15-12 overall and 10-10 in conference play last season. The Crimson Tide will welcome seven new players this season. Six of those players have international experience, Lancia said.
"Dynamic" is a term Lancia hopes becomes synonymous with UA's play, a goal he hopes to reach by simulating the "chaotic" nature of wheelchair basketball in training. "We're going from a good team last year to a deep, dynamic team next season. We'll be able to throw many different looks at our competition."
"When Brent asked me what my offensive and defensive philosophies are, I told him 'my offensive strategy is to frustrate defenses, and my defensive strategy is to frustrate offenses,'" Lancia said "I want my players to do whatever they can to make other teams work. We want to effectively counter what any team throws at us. There's going to be fast play in transition, 3-point shooting, smaller lineups to counter taller, slower teams."
"We're going use that dynamic approach in how we train and organize practices. The game is chaotic, a mess, just crazy times, and practice has to replicate that to an extent."
Realizing the financial burdens that exist for many of these families, we've developed the 180 Medical Scholarship Program to honor these young adults who pursue goals of higher education.

Sometimes devlopers just don't get it right! Here is a great example on an open source project where they have managed to get a script really really wrong.
The original problem is here and the problem is a simple typo in the install / upgrade scripts for the package. Where a space has been inserted into command line which seperated the single argument into the command line into two parts.
The command was really meant to be
rm -rf /usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg/xorg
But was accidently
rm -rf /usr /lib/nvidia-current/xorg/xorg
For the non linux / unix people out there this is the same as removing the "Program Files" folder from the machine when the package was installed.

From configuring screens, reports and terminology to applying role-based security down to the field level, Vision provides the tools to tailor the user experience. The payoff: an application that easily adapts to your business.
Think of the complexity of some of your firm's business processes — those that have numerous steps, require coordination between multiple people, departments or offices, and span days, weeks, or months. Each step of the way, the opportunity exists for someone to drop the ball or make a costly mistake. The Deltek Vision Workflow Manager keeps processes on track, automates time-consuming manual tasks, and keeps players informed and involved. The payoff: lower operational costs, greater agility, and quicker response to client needs.

The payoff: much greater user adoption and productivity.

Call them mom and pops! Frankie Delgado and Jennifer Acosta snuggle up.
On "The Hills," Frankie Delgado's priorities amounted to partying until the sun came up (and not a second sooner), but it's safe to say those days are officially in the past. Delgado and his wife, Jennifer Acosta, welcomed a baby girl into the world on Sunday, and a snapshot that Frankie shared of his new bundle of joy yesterday on Instagram — which features a closeup of the newborn's foot — has us cooing. FOOTPRINTS ON OUR HEARTS, FRIENDS.
"I never knew how much I could love til I met you, the greatest gift of my life…" the proud papa captioned the photo, in which his fingers are softly nestled behind the baby's five tiny piggies. Frankie is the second "Hills" cast member to become a parent, and we hope it's not too much to expect that Baby Delgado and one of Kristin Cavallari's sons (she's due with her second in a hot minute) will hit it off, strike up an epic romance and live happily ever after. MAKE IT HAPPEN, GUYS!
Look at the lil' gal's first pic, and be sure to wish the happy couple congratulations!
So tiny! We're sure these toes will be in the sand soon enough.

Teen bicyclist killed crossing Eagle Avenue
A 13-year-old girl was hit by a car and killed while she was riding her bike across Eagle Avenue in West Hempstead Wednesday, cops said.
According to detectives, at 3:03 p.m., the girl was traveling southbound on Park Avenue and then attempted to cross Eagle Avenue. She was struck by a 2002 Cadillac that was going westbound on Eagle Avenue. The Cadillac was driven by a 24-year-old female.
The bicyclist was transported to a local hospital and was pronounced dead at 3:57 p.m. by hospital staff. The victim's name is being held at the request of the family.
The vehicle was impounded from the scene for brake and safety checks, and there is no suspected criminality, cops said.
