Background: Detroit, Michigan African American pharmacist and businessman. After
receiving his pharmacy degree from Detroit City College in 1931, Barthwell borrowed $500
and opened his first drugstore, within ten years he owned a chain of drugstores/soda
fountains (along with a brand of ice cream he invented, Barthwell's Ice Cream) throughout
Detroit. Barthwell also performed various leadership roles in the Detroit Pharmacists'
Guild. The construction of the Interstate 75 highway through the St. Antoine Street area
(where most of Barthwell's stores were located) adversely affected his businesses
throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, and he was forced to close his last store in the
early 1980s.
Summary: Black and white photographs of various of Barthwell's drugstores ca.
1930s-1950s, including both exterior and interior views of the stores. Also includes shots
of Barthwell himself serving customers and filling prescriptions in his stores along with
portrait photographs of Barthwell. There is also a folder of miscellaneous biographical
materials on Barthwell and a history of the Detroit Pharmacists' Guild.

Background: In 1932 three African American
physicians, Drs. Harold Johnson, Frank Raiford and J. W. Ames, opened Trinity Hospital in
Detroit, an institution which trained more Black physicians than any of the other small
privately-owned African American hospitals in the city. The hospital was moved to a new,
larger location in the early 1960's, becoming a community non-profit institution with the
new name Boulevard General. Boulevard General remained in operation until 1974 when it
merged with Burton Mercy and Delray hospitals to form the Southwest Detroit Hospital.

Background: As one of the most important civil rights organizations in the city,
the Detroit Urban League closely monitored the various issues surrounding health care for
African Americans and were actively involved in efforts to end segregation in city
hospitals, medical staffs, and in the area's medical educational institutions. As such,
the League's records represent invaluable insights into the status of health care for
African Americans in Detroit during the period from the 1940s to the present.
Summary: Several boxes of this large collection contain materials directly
relevant to the history of African American health care in the Detroit area, including
many in-depth surveys/studies conducted by the organization to assess the levels of
discrimination and segregation present in the city's health care institutions. Boxes 42-43
contain records from the 1950s-early 1960s related to the Detroit Urban League's studies
of segregation in the various hospitals which would eventually become part of the Detroit
Medical Center. Other issues investigated by the League in these yearly studies included

Background: Opened by a group of Black physicians in 1919, Dunbar was the first
community non-profit African American hospital in Detroit. The hospital remained at its
original location on Frederick Street until the late 1920s when, because of poor
facilities and poor acceptance by the public, the hospital was moved to a location near
Harper and Grace hospitals and the name was changed to Parkside. Parkside hospital
continued to serve the community until 1960 when it was razed because of "city

African American-owned hospital in Detroit, established by Dr. Guy O. Saulsberry (see also
entry for Saulsberry for more information on Kirwood Hospital) dating from the late
1970s-early 1980s. These materials include civic advisory board minutes from the early 1
980s concerning plans to include Kirwood in a multi-hospital corporation with other
Black-owned hospitals such as Southwest General and Sidney A. Sumby Memorial to prevent
its closing due to financial difficulties; and copies of the Kirwood Krier, the hospital's
newsletter, from the early 1980s.

the first woman resident in medicine at Detroit Receiving Hospital and also the first
African American to receive a teaching appointment at Wayne University (now Wayne State
University) medical school.
Background: Detroit, Michigan African American physician and community activist.
After receiving his medical degree from the University of Michigan (1930), Robinson became
only the second African American physician in Detroit to receive advanced training at an
AMA-certified hospital, and was also among the first to pass the Specialty Board.
Throughout the 1950s and1960s, Robinson participated in and orchestrated several concerted
efforts aimed at the racial desegregation of Detroit hospitals, the most significant of
which was his drive to expand Parkside Hospital and re-establish it as an interracial
hospital. In 1955, Robinson became the first African American member of the Detroit Board
of Education, later becoming the Board President. From this period right up to his death,
Robinson served continuously on the Board, struggling tirelessly to end racial
discrimination in Detroit schools.
Summary: Mainly notes, lab books, and papers related to Robinson's studies at
the University of Michigan Medical School. Also includes miscellaneous correspondence
pertaining to Robinson's training at St. Louis Hospital #2 and the "Negro Health
Week" in St. Louis (early 1930s); along with various materials related to community
actives in Detroit in the late 1930s through such organizations as the NAACP and the YWCA.

Detroit Board of Education) are included in a separate Remus Robinson visual materials
Background: Dr. Ossian Sweet, the subject of a famous housing discrimination
civil rights case involving Clarence Darrow, opened the St. Aubin General Hospital in
Detroit in 1931, which served the African American community until after World War II.
During the 1930's, in response to the tuberculosis crisis in the Black community, the
hospital was converted for the care of these patients.
Background: Detroit, Michigan African American physician. After graduating from
Howard Medical School in 1927, Saulsberry moved to Detroit and established private
practices at various locations in the city. In 1943, he purchased an old mansion at 301 E.
Kirby and established the Kirwood Hospital there with a total of 27 beds. By the mid 1950s
he had purchased two more adjoining buildings, increasing the capacity of the complex to
50 beds. In 1958, foreseeing future needs and the impossibility of rendering the required
community service through a proprietary institution, Dr. Saulsberry made Kirwood a
non-profit community hospital. In 1967, the existing complex was replaced with a modern,
well-equipped facility with a capacity of 161 beds. Soon thereafter, Kirwood became the
first Detroit African American hospital to receive full accreditation from the Joint
Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. At one time the largest employer of Blacks by
Blacks in the city of Detroit, Kirwood was forced to close in 1985 when its bed occupancy
fell below 50%. The effects of integration, population decline and Medicare/Medicaid are
often cited as major reasons for the financial difficulties which forced Kirwood to close.

1942 Marmon Herrington - Ford
Klauer SnoGo Blower 'Puff'
currently for sale - £3250
call Gordon on 07973-301567 or email@example.com
December 2005 update
Since putting Puff up for sale, I've managed to get hold of the missing blower drive coupling and the operating lever, both now fitted, plus a pair of original lower braces and mounting brackets for the blower head (which still need to be cleaned up and fitted) plus a blower part list, engine manual, and some spare hydraulic rams and hoses.
Puff is now an even better deal at the price - he's in storage till someone finds the money to give him a good home.
A 1942 Ford with a Marmon-Herrington 4 x 4 conversion and a Klauer SnoGo blower on the front. This is a heavy (6 ton) and complex piece of material. Most of it is in excellent condition, but the front truck Ford V8 was cracked when I got him so I had to change the engine and fit a spare from a generator set that came with him - sounds fine now but the charging system needs looked at and the ignition switch is a bit erratic.
This is one of two known complete survivors of a batch of about 80 bought by Uncle Sam and lend-leased to the RAF, some magazine articles show one as delivered still with a USA number on it. About three more still exist as chassis cabs in various stages of repair. The basic truck is now running well, but footbrake requires attention. The snowblower gear, from drive engine to snow augurs, is complete and turning freely but the International six on the back hasn't been run for some time, also requires some of the hydraulic hoses and rams reworked.
In 2003 I made up temporary lower braces and brackets for the blower head, did a bit of cleaning, and started it up to confirm that the Ford V8 was past doing anything with. Apart from a couple of leaky hoses and one blown core plug, the big news is that the side of the block between the 3rd and 4th cylinders on the left bank is cracked big time and forced out almost 1/4".

The photographs below show the truck;
as bought,
being delivered,
with the blower head on the truck (for the first time in thirty years),
left and right views of the IH stationary engine,
factory shot of the '41 version of the same thing (grille trim and headlights different)
Known problems when it arrived included a cracked V8 up front, three hydraulic cylinders needing attention for rusty rams, including one expensive looking shuttle ram, missing bottom braces and brackets for the blower unit, and a half-coupling missing from the blower drive shaft. Apart from that, as they say, it's in very nice order, and from the look of it it's done next to nothing, probably only worked the one severe winter ('48 - '49) since it got to the UK.

Thanks, great info. What optical precision are you targeting for the first and second flats? Did you consider tilting the two flat mirrors to make the two beams cross (in-between the two reflections), so as to render the bino even more compact?
The optical system is reflected by two plane mirrors, and then use Japan EMS optical system .

How do you vary the interocular distance? What parts translate or rotate? The 2-mirror EMS system is a nice innovation, but the geometry looks like it must be fixed to simultaneously maintain image alignment and co-planarity. Do you simply vary the distance between the two separate OTA's in translation?
Great project, thanks so much for posting.

Ricci (Macau), designs resemble, provide variable interpupillary distance through variable separation between the mirrors in each mirror pair. A refocus is needed after an IPD change.
Matsumoto-San used Pentax 67 accessory focusers. There is no relative rotation of the entrance and the exit. Only a hand grip rotates, to swell or to shrink the axial length, and thus the separation of the two mirrors.
Several WWII Zeiss designs, including the 12 x 60 and the 25 x 100, each of which have 60 deg. inclination of the line of sight, provide IPD adjustment by lateral motion of one eyepiece only. The roof prism assembly which feeds the laterally moving eyepiece is linked to that eyepiece via a Cardano circle geared mechanism, such that the prism assembly moves by half of the eyepiece lateral motion. No refocus is required after an IPD change.
I wrote a general program for the hp48, which follows the WW II Zeiss scheme. If one is not hurried, the adjustment can be without linkage, which very much simplifies construction. A reversed, eyepiece-less binoviewer, or a handheld beam combining comparator such as the JTII, assist in correct adjustment for lateral parallelism ( and for checking parallelism of the sight lines up-down) of the lines of sight, for a given IPD.
The program has variable ( but fixed when chosen) inclination of the sight line, optimized position of the phantom roof line for some 5 different flat mirror shapes, variable mirror thicknesses and presence/absence of taper and/or edge bevel,variable objective diameter and f/number, variable linear field diameter at the focal plane, and maybe some other variables . I have not worked with it recently.
The situation is three-dimensional, involving compound angles. The hp 48 does not directly manipulate 3D vectors, so some programming tricks from the William Wickes hp 48 book provided a solution. He was the software engineering head for the hp 48 development.

An error in the 90 degree angle of the phantom roof ( not related to the usually chosen 90 deg. inclination of the view) causes image rotation. If one is lucky, errors would tilt the images by the same amount in both telescopes.
Mentally replace the Mil Hndbk 141 Hopkins chapter tracings of the beamprints ,of the light cone upon the roof surfaces, by mirrors . At 90 degree inclination of the overall sight line, those ellipses have a 2:1 major/minor axes ratio.
In this example, the axial ray makes a 60 deg. angle with the mirror surfaces. What effect does this have on "enhanced" reflectivity mirrors, which are listed in catalogs as optimized for 45 deg, or for zero degree, angle of incidence ?
We have been told that the reflectivity peak shifts toward the blue. But by how much? Of cource, the enhancing lab's coater could adjust the peak reflectivity to be at 60 deg. incidence. That is non-catalog, custom work, $$$(?). Is it a simple matter of turning a dial, or would it require a redesign of the enhanced reflectivity coating?

Got it, thanks! I built a model of your mirrors in ZEMAX and varied the interocular distance (IOD) as you described. This diagram is for two 8" f/7 achromats, and uses standard 4" and 1.83" Newtonian telescope diagonals for the fold mirrors.
A very clever design indeed. I don't see refocusing the individual eyepieces after varying IOD as anything of major inconvenience.

But if each 2-mirror "prism" is a rigid unit, with no variation of intermirror separation, the control of image rotation ("lean") can be more definite. In this case, focus for each eye is made by helical threads or other usual techniques.
Such a system is in the April, 2012 Sky & Telescope,via separation of each telescope, or in the system described above in the hp 48 program, ff. WW II Zeiss 12 x 60 or 25 x 100, etc.

Alternative formsEdit
Etymology 1Edit
Adopted from Latin, ultimately of Greek origin. In English, the connective is found from the Middle English period in direct borrowings from Latin. Direct formations of English terms with the connective, always combining Greek or Latin roots, appear from the 16th or 17th century. From the 18th century, the suffix becomes productive in compounds where the second element is English. From about 1800, formations on all sorts of stems become common.
- A linking vowel inserted interconsonantally between two morphemes, to ease pronunciation, without contributing to the meaning. It frequently joins words of Ancient Greek origin but can also be used between modern terms and even abbreviations.
- extreme + -o- + phile producing extremophile
- speed + -o- + meter producing speedometer
- blog + -o- + sphere producing blogosphere
Derived termsEdit

Etymology 2Edit
Designated in the USAN guidelines for non-proprietary names of monoclonal antibodies.
- (pharmacology) a monoclonal antibody derived from a murine source
Related termsEdit
- -mab is the base suffix common to all monoclonal antibodies. (See that entry for full paradigm.)
- USP Dictionary of USAN and International Drug Names, U.S. Pharmacopeia, 2000
- A suffix-initial vowel (or linking vowel) inserted interconsonantally between the word stem and the suffix, to ease pronunciation, without contributing to the meaning.

Adopted from the thematic vowel in Ancient Greek, often used to form nominal compounds. In Ancient Greek, the connective suffix originates in compounds where the first member is thematic, such as (whence democracy), but was extended by analogy to other stems, such as (whence metropolis). The suffix was borrowed as a connective into Latin, mainly in compounds of Greek origin. The suffix becomes productive and forms new compounds in learned humanist Latin, from the 16th century. The connective is especially productive in connecting ethnonyms or geographical terms; genuine Greek stems include Gallo-, and Syro-, but most are of medieval or modern origin, productive from the 15th century, such as Anglo-, Graeco- or Latino-.
- (post-classical Latin) Suffix forming nominal compounds (such as gallograecus ("Gallo-Greek"), from gallicus ("Gallic") and graecus ("Greek")).

The Brazilian does not have a muscle injury, according to the results from this afternoon's medical tests, but he does have an edema in the femoral biceps of his left leg. Thiago was given the green light to return to competitive play
Training session with Barça B
The team trained this afternoon at the Ciutat Esportiva along with Barça B. Last night's starters against Real Madrid focused on recovery work, and Dani Alves and Puyol trained apart from the group.
Dani Alves, who missed yesterday's match at the Santiago Bernabéu due to injury, underwent medical tests this afternoon. The tests confirmed that the player does not have a muscle injury, but he does have an edema in the femoral biceps of his left leg. The player's recovery will mark his availability for this Sunday's Liga match at the Camp Nou against Valencia.
Thiago given green light to play
On the other hand, the good news of the day is that Thiago Alcántara was given the medical all-clear to return to competitive play. Three months after his tibia injury, which kept him from the London Olympic Games, the Club's Medical Services declared the player fit to play with the first team.

BRISBANE, Australia, June 6. THE highlight events of the second-and-final session of the Brisbane Grand Prix proved to be the scintillating sprint freestyles.
Cate Campbell nearly topped her top-ranked time in the women's 100-meter freestyle with a scorching time of 52.70 for the win. Her best time this year is a 52.68 from the Australian National Championships, while she also clocked a scorching 52.74 at the first stop of the Grand Prix series last month as well. Campbell's just scary in how consistent she has become in the sprint freestyle events, and is looking good to stand atop the rankings by the end of the summer.
"I was really pleased with that swim today. We've kind of got our aerobic block under our belt and are kind of working on the lactate now, so working on that last 25m which is always a bit of stinger," said Campbell. "We've got another four weeks of really tough training and then its taper time. Every time I get in and race, I want to swim a smart race, but there is actually a lot of thought that goes into swimming a good 100. It's about getting to that major meet knowing that you've done some really good swims and knowing how to put together a 100 so you don't have to even think about it."
Her sister Bronte took second in 53.27, just off her third-ranked season best of 53.02. Alicia Coutts tracked down third overall in 54.64.
James Magnussen bounced back from a surprising loss in the 50 free last night with a quick 48.77 to win the men's 100-meter free tonight. Kenneth To took second overall in 49.56, while Jayden Hadler finished third in 49.86. It might not have been the same type of speed (47.59) as he had in Perth at the Australian Aquatic Super Series, but Magnussen was happy to get the win.
"I'm just starting to do some speed work now and dropping off the aerobic work and looking to spike things up," said Magnussen. "I'm doing a lot of work at the moment on my starts and turns and it was really good to test them today against those two (Hadler and To) because they are both pretty skilful. That was probably one of my biggest weaknesses at trials so I've done a lot of work on them."
Emma McKeon had another sensational swim in the women's 200-meter free. A day after posting a 1:56.99 in prelims, she popped a 1:56.83 for the win. That's a second off her second-ranked season best of 1:55.68. Bronte Barratt (1:57.83) took second, while Brittany Elmslie placed third in 1:58.42. Melanie Schlanger, in the B final, raced to a 1:57.29 to move to 13th in the SwimVortex world rankings.
McKeon doubled up with a 59.57 in the women's 100-meter fly after posting a 58.69 in prelims yesterday. Marieke D'Cruz (1:00.24) and Madeline Groves (1:01.61) placed second and third in the finale.
Mitchell Larkin, the fourth-fastest swimmer this year in the men's 200-meter back with a 1:55.26, clocked a 1:57.13 to capture the Grand Prix title today. Josh Beaver took second in 2:00.68 with Jack Selman placing third in 2:06.76.
Larkin claimed his second win of the night with a 55.48 in the men's 100-meter back. He's been much faster with a fourth-ranked 53.46 from Aussie Nationals earlier this year. Beaver (56.45) and Selmon (56.71) had similar finishes as the 200 back.
Meagen Nay, who already stands third in the world in the women's 200-meter back with a 2:08.19, popped a swift time of 2:09.56 for the win this afternoon in Brisbane. Madison Wilson took second in the event with a 2:13.80, while Mikka Sheridan claimed third in 2:15.81.
Lorna Tonks blasted the women's 100-meter breast finale with a 1:07.98. That's just off her 11th-ranked season best of 1:07.26. Sally Hunter (1:09.43) and Georgia Bohl (1:09.97) battled for second. Alicia Coutts claimed the women's 200-meter IM title in 2:14.66. Keryn McMaster took second in 2:16.88 with Taylor McKeown finishing third in 2:17.71.
Keryn McMaster won the women's 200-meter fly in 2:14.32, while Madeline Grovers checked in with a second-place 2:14.89. Megan Gianotti wound up third in the event with a 2:15.09 as she matched her prelim time. Mitchell Pratt hit the wall in 1:59.55 to win the men's 200-meter fly. Grant Irvine (2:02.39) and Jacob Hansford (2:04.48) finished second and third.
Sally Hunter clipped Taylor McKeown for the women's 200-meter breast title, 2:26.46 to 2:26.97. That's a few seconds off Hunter's 12th-ranked season best of 2:24.91. Tessa Wallace placed third today in 2:28.59.
Daniel Smith topped the men's 200-meter free in 1:48.54 with Kurt Herzog (1:48.77) and David McKeon (1:49.27) taking second and third in the A final. Cameron McEvoy, however, blitzed the B final with a 1:47.82. McEvoy is the top swimmer in the world with a 1:45.46, so it was a bit surprising when he turned in a 1:52.15 in prelims.
Kenneth To put together a 53.38 to win the men's 100-meter fly, while Jayden Hadler (53.50) and Tommaso D'Orsogna (53.75) took second and third in the finale. Christopher Wright clocked a 53.70 out of the B final as well.
Madison Wilson clinched the women's 100-meter back crown in 1:01.09 with Meagen Nay touching second in 1:01.11. Mikka Sheridan placed third in the event with a 1:03.60. Daniel Tranter topped the men's 200-meter IM in 2:00.47. Thomas Fraser-Holmes (2:00.48) and Justin James (2:02.91) rounded out the podium.
With Christian Sprenger withdrawing from the rest of the meet following a bit of a shoulder twinge during the 50-meter breaststroke yesterday, the men's breaststroke events definitely seemed bare. Buster Sykes beat Julian Layton, 2:16.46 to 2:17.45, in the 200-meter event, while Jake Packard downed Sykes in the 100, 1:03.19 to 1:03.20.
Meet organizers also attempted to add some variety to the distance events, so they did some unorthodox distance swims. Katie Goldman won the women's 600-meter free in 6:11.25 with Mack Horton topping the men's 900-meter free with an 8:43.99. They also had a mixed 3000-meter free with Jarrod Poort winning in 30:36.46.

Barbara Strindberg and Linnea Skoglund,
Circumstance: Since 2011, Barbara has been a full-time caregiver at their home in Ballard for her partner, Linnea, who has multiple sclerosis.

- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team

- Dead whale found on bow of cruise ship in Alaska
Most Read Stories
Challenge: Both had good jobs and were able to save some, anticipating the effects of Linnea's illness. Several years ago, Linnea became unable to work as a drawbridge operator because she could no longer climb stairs.
After Linnea became even more seriously ill two years ago, Barbara left her job as head of a sign-company graphics department to take care of her.
These days, they live primarily on Linnea's pension and Social Security disability payment for about $3,100 a month, and their savings are dwindling. They're close to paying off the house they've lived in for 29 years, and next year, Barbara will be able to get Social Security payments, too.
"It will be a godsend," she says.
In the meantime, money is very tight.
Current coverage: Linnea has health coverage, including a supplemental policy from her workplace — good, because one medication she takes costs about $4,000 per month. But her insurance doesn't pay for all the equipment she needs.
Barbara pays $312 a month for an individual policy through Community Health Plan of Washington — her largest expense after the mortgage.
She was grateful for coverage, and the care she received at Neighborcare Health's Greenwood Medical Clinic, when she contracted E. coli recently and was sick for a month.
Options: Barbara hopes she'll qualify for a subsidy under the Affordable Care Act that will help reduce her insurance premium costs.
"We're not starving, but by the time we pay for everything, there's nothing left over," she says.

Yes it was a lot of fun. I didn't get to go into detail about it but the things you can do, or cause to happen, with your cell phone are really fun. making the bird in the cage talk in the Mexican pavilion was one of my favorites. Or the poofs of smoke to come out of the chimney in Norway. Lots of fun. Wish we would have had time to do more so i'm just hoping this sticks around awhile.

I am following in the footsteps of my direct predecessor, Tim Paterek, who taught many students from across this country and around the globe how to build custom handcrafted frames. Just like Tim's classes it is done in a one on one setting.
I will teach my modified Paterek method. It is very similar to how I was taught but with a number of changes I found make the build go smoother. What I teach is the what I consider the best way to build a frame from collective knowledge from all of my predecessors which will span 80 years in 2016. Due to the complexity of building a frame you can not remember everything in that will be taught in a few weeks I recommend that you go to his web site (timpaterek.com) and purchase his new manual as an aid and reference. I will also include more information and techniques that I gained from Terry Osell and those of Cecil Behringer. I will inform students on the how and why if there is a definitive why I do something. My frames are built to a very precise standard and modern industrial construction standards. Note: I teach a method that uses very few fixtures and machinery free building. First of all most beginning builders will not have access to a fixture as well as machinery once they leave. So teaching that way will leave a student will little knowledge for building ant other way. Potential students should understand that being taught with fixtures is very limiting and promotes building frames with residual stress as fixtures are primarily a tool for production building not custom built frame. Learning to build how I do does not hamper you from building future frames in a fixture. Blending how I teach is very compatible with using a fixture if done proper. Being taught on a fixture does not however allow you to fall back on any other way of building a frame. Therefore I opt to teach the more flexible style of building like I was taught, which is often critical for beginning builders.
My standing on constructing a frame is that if I think or even feel that doing something during the fabrication would compromise the frame even in the slightest manner, I will not do it. I hope all my students will carry on this tradition and value, even if the customer does not know and generally never cares. I teach with emphasis on torch skill. I come from a line of builders that never needed to media/sand blast frames to make them look like a carefully crafted and masterfully brazed frame. I teach this type of brazing to my students and emphasize this over the amateur/production process of blasting the joints clean. Students will be taught to silver-braze 100% of the frame for lugged construction including the drop outs. Many builders bronze their dropouts in. I will teach the proper technique and preparation that allows dropouts to be silver brazed in a frame set.
My base class fee covers me providing the materials for the student to build one frame and fork. The tubing is basic cro-moly and my stock dropouts, bottom bracket, fork crown and lug set. The braze-on package consists of a rear brake bridge, basic fork crown, two bottle bosses, rear chain stay cable stop, Campy-type down tube shifter bosses or two cable stops, and a stainless steel through-the-top-tube cable guide. Class price is subject to change based on different or additional parts and braze-ons. Paint is not covered or included in the course. If a student wants, I can get the frame painted and then ship the frame to them when it is finished at additional cost for paint and shipping. If you want to know why I do not provide in-house painting, go to the repairs and restorations page.
I teach with basic cro-moly tubing only. It is a very forgiving material that is easily cold set if needed, and is the best material for the beginning builder . High-end steels are not in anyway a good beginning material to use for the new to building student, as they are not as forgiving. Since all of my students have wanted to be hands on as much as they can, and none can can tack and finish a joint with no or even minimal distortion. Therefore there is an increased chance of cold setting with student brazed joints, thus basic cro-moly is ideal for beginner frames. I also recommend using these tube sets for the first dozen or so frames, until your brazing skill improves.
The student has the option to build an additional two frames during the course. I will provide limited supervision over these frame builds. I allow this so the student can act and build on his own to reinforce what I just taught. The student must purchase all the needed filler material, flux, tubes, lugs and braze-ons for the additional frames. Each additional frame and fork add 700.00 to the cost of the course. My main reason for allowing my students to build more than one frame is simple. A student will leave a course that they just build a single frame with very little retained knowledge of building the frame. So much info is thrown at you that it is hard to retain the vast majority of it.
The base cost of the course is currently 3200.00. The course covers only frame construction, not painting. Nor does the course cover the cost of painting the frame. If you want to learn bronze fillet-brazing, that course costs an additional 800.00. And, if fillet-brazing additional frames during the course, add 850.00 more per frame rather than 700.00 (for lugged). This is due to the additional time I have to spend with teaching torch skill, brazing techniques, and rotating the frame during student brazing. Fillet brazing is very skill-driven to be done right. It will take a new builder more than a dozen fillet frames before they become comfortable just brazing a joint, and many more for finishing skills. Some will say fillet brazing is easy, but it is like a time-temperature-structured-juggling act all thrown together.
My course covers the following:
1. Sizing and fitting the rider, determining the ideal frame specifications.
2. Drafting a full sized blueprint for the frame to be built.
3. Building a fork to the exact specifications of the frame.
4. Precisely fitting tubes, lugs with instruction on how to modify lugs to exactly fit blueprint.
5. Tacking and fully brazing joints to the proper angles and constructing a frame that is built without residual stress.
6. You will learn clean precision brazing, hand finishing techniques, and how to ensure the proper ventilation of frames.
7. How to properly fit dropouts so they can be silver brazed into the stays.
8. How to locate and install braze ons and bridges.
9. Put the finished frame in a ready to paint state.
10. We will also do some fillet brazing and TIG welding to familiarize yourself to those joining methods
I offer the most comprehensive frame building course there is with emphasis on torch skill, understanding the process and non-mechanical methods that most starting builders will not have access to. The one thing I have learned over the last 25+ years that skill and working knowledge trumps any fixture and short cut you can use. Especially when quality is your primary focus for your product.
For more detail and clarity: if you need it, you will have to call me directly. I offer this option, as from my experience and exposure since 1985 to building handcrafted frames has taught me one thing: there is simply too much information and too many skills that need to be picked up that simply building one frame cannot provide. That is, unless you have the ability to retain and repeat perfectly what you see me do without flaw. From my experience, if you learn to build on one frame over a week or two, or even three weeks, you will not walk away with much knowledge needed for the many things that can occur or even limit the life of a frame set. There is simply too much to take in.
I feel that this craft that I have had the privilege to learn from Tim Paterek and his predecessor, Terry Osell, is too important to do partially. I strongly believe that every one who practices this craft, owes it to the craft to hand it down to at least one person.
My past students are:

LOS ANGELES — Led by a pair of precocious rookies, the Los Angeles Dodgers got themselves right back into the National League Championship Series.
Hyun-Jin Ryu outpitched Adam Wainwright with seven innings of three-hit ball, and Yasiel Puig tripled home a run to help Los Angeles beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 Monday night in Game 3.
Adrian Gonzalez's run-scoring double ended a 1-for-17 drought for the Dodgers with runners in scoring position. An ailing Hanley Ramirez added a run-scoring hit as Los Angeles handed Wainwright his first postseason defeat and trimmed its deficit to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
Game 4 is Tuesday at Dodger Stadium, with Ricky Nolasco scheduled to start against St. Louis right-hander Lance Lynn.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle

"The playoffs are one-day momentum swings," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Right now I feel like we've kind of grabbed it."
Los Angeles got Ramirez and center fielder Andre Ethier back in the lineup after both proved in batting practice they were healthy enough to play. Ramirez wore a lightweight flak jacket to protect his broken left rib — having been hit by a pitch from Joe Kelly in Game 1 — while Ethier has been bothered by shin splints.
"What can I say? It couldn't be better," Ramirez said. "Really happy we got the first win. Just come back tomorrow and even up the series."
Ramirez singled his first time up off Wainwright and then helped the Dodgers extend their lead to 3-0 in the eighth.
Ramirez hit a soft single off Seth Maness over the head of second baseman Kolten Wong to score Carl Crawford. The speedy Crawford, on second base after a one-out single, rounded third and never stopped running when the throw from the outfield went to second base.
On a close play at the plate, Crawford barely beat the tag by catcher Yadier Molina.
"We just had a lot of balls in the air tonight that hit the ground that normally don't," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "We're a better club than this."
During the rally, retired Dodgers manager Tom Lasorda, whose 1988 team won the franchise's last World Series title, stood up and waved his white rally towel to raucous applause.
Wainwright entered 4-0 with a 2.03 earned-run average and four saves in 15 career postseason games, including six starts. He pitched St. Louis past Pittsburgh in the division series, going the distance in a decisive Game 5 last Wednesday.
The right-hander tossed seven strong innings this time, allowing two runs and six hits with five strikeouts and no walks. Ryu, however, was even better.
The two were nearly even through the first three scoreless innings, with Wainwright giving up one hit. Ryu, who struggled in his first postseason start in the division series against Atlanta, retired 12 of his first 13 batters, yielding only a walk.
Ryu was much improved after lasting just three innings as the first South Korean pitcher to start a playoff game last week against the Braves. He allowed four runs on six hits for a no-decision in a game the Dodgers won.
Monday, the left-hander didn't permit a Cardinals runner past second base. David Freese's single to right leading off the fifth was their first hit of the game.
Freese was replaced by a pinch-runner because of tightness in his right calf. He is day to day.
Ryu struck out four and walked one.
"I was potentially thinking about that this could be the last game I pitch here this season," the rookie said through a translator. "I just zoned in."
Mattingly came out to the mound accompanied by a translator with two outs in the seventh. Ryu responded by striking out Matt Adams to end the inning as catcher A.J. Ellis pumped his right arm in the air. Fans waved South Korean flags in support of Ryu.
• Umpire Wally Bell died of an apparent heart attack in Ohio, a week after working the NLDS between Pittsburgh and the Cardinals. He was 48. Bell had quintuple bypass surgery on Feb. 18, 1999. Bell worked the 2006 World Series.

How to Eat Sesame Seeds and Its Health Benefits
Hi lovelies…
How are you doing?
Women are more or less always a victim of blood and calcium deficiency. Especially as you advance to your menopause stage, there is heavy calcium loss making your bones and teeth weak. So today I will be talking of a calcium rich source which can help you overcome such a problem.
Sesame enhances strength, improves memory and digestive powers. It helps in vat–dosha related problems. Three varieties of sesame are available- white, black and red out of which black ones are the most superior.
The most amazing fact is that 100 grams of sesame contain 1450mg of calcium. That is the reason it strengthens bones, joints, hair and teeth. (See I never miss out teeth in any of my posts )
According to ayurveda, sesame oil is the best among all other varieties of oils in terms of health benefits. It fights vaayu related problems and treats them from their very origin in the body. It aids in quick healing of broken bones/fractures. It balances the body weight too. Having body massage with sesame oil followed by a good bath keeps your skin soft and glowy. Your skin will not sag before time.
Six ways where sesame works as a medication:
• Chew 15-25 grams black sesame early morning and drink cold water on top of that. This will strengthen your body specially bones, joints and hair.
• To build strength in an otherwise weak body:
Soak white sesame, strain and crush them to make a milky paste kind of thing. Take 50-100 grams of this milky paste and add 25-50 grams of jaggery in it and have daily. Follow this routine with 12 suryanamaskars. This will strengthen your bodies.
• Have body massages preferably with sesame oil. This strengthens your muscles and provides calcium to your bones and joints.
• Once in a week, rub sesame oil on your teeth. If you can, do gargles with sesame oil 2-3 times, that is even better. Sesame has amazing penetration power that is the reason it benefits even on external application-be it teeth or joints.
• Heat some sesame (without oil) in a pan. Mix jaggery and ghee to it and make round balls out of this mixture. Chew one such ball daily in the morning. This will take away all your body's weaknesses and strengthen your mind too. Do not take more than one.
• Mix one spoon each of sesame and desi ghee and have this mixture 2-3 times a day (preferably in winters because having this amount of sesame in summers will cause heat accumulation in the body). This treats old constipation, piles and digestion problems.
Quantity to be taken: approximately 10-25 grams. Do not exceed this quantity in a hoard to treat problems at a faster pace. Everything treats you positively only if taken in limits.
Important point:
Sesame seeds have an outer layering of oxalic acid which prevents the absorption of calcium by the body. That is the reason you should soak them first say for around 10 minutes, rub them with your hands so that their outer covering is removed and then put them to use.
• People having tendency of heat accumulation and pregnant ladies should have it in a very less quantity say around 10 grams only. You may even avoid till July end. You can preferably have it in august and the following months to avoid the heat problem.
• Having more than the above said quantity can affect your eyes.
• Grandparents say sesame and foods made with sesame should not be taken at night after 7 p.m.. I believe in it, so I have shared it here.
Hope this helps.
Until next time, take care!

Posted on 07/23/2012 7:06:12 PM PDT by markomalley
Cisco Systems was preparing to lay off about 1,300 workers just a few months after the worlds largest maker of computer networking equipment warned that growing economic uncertainty is making it tougher to close deals.
The cuts announced Monday represent about 2 percent of Cisco System Inc.s payroll of 65,000 workers.
The upcoming layoffs represent the San Jose companys latest austerity measure. Last year, Cisco shed about 10,000 jobs as part of a program aimed at saving about $1 billion annually.

Just watched the moto 3 or the 250 as it used to be known
Well I must be getting very old for the sound made me think I was back in the 50s.
When I saw the speed (232.5) down the straight a top 250 speed I seen what I've always believed the 250 race is going backwards.
Give the Honda 6 and Yamaha v4 a set of today's tyres and brakes and they would eat today's 250s alive.
Glad I lived in the golden years.

In June, the school district and union failed to reach a collective bargaining agreement before the current one expired. Teachers are currently moving forward without a CBA.
At the school board meeting Tuesday night, board members stated they are thinking about placing one of three possible questions on the November ballot to voters:
All of the actions have already been taken by the school board going into to the 2012-13 school year. If voters approve these measures, it would serve as public affirmation to move forward into subsequent school years with the same plans.
"This board is focused on anything but kids in the classroom," said Brenda Smith, president of the Douglas County Federation. "What the board is trying to do is basically a power grab. They are trying to limit what future elected officials may want to do and they are basically out of control."
The president of the board of education for DCSD released the following statement regarding these potential ballot questions:
"This district has been laser focused on promoting student achievement, recruiting world class teachers, and reducing class size. Standing in the way of these reforms is a union that has shown more interest in protecting the taxpayer-funded salaries of union executives than it has increasing the salaries of teachers, a union that would rather divert cash to politicians and their campaigns than help us reduce class sizes, and a union that is one heck of a lot more interested in defending an antiquated collective bargaining system than it is recruiting and retaining the best teachers in Colorado. And so the school board and a lot of parents and teachers are asking: Is there a better way?"
Board members have until Sept. 7 to decide whether to place any one or none of the questions on the Nov. 6 ballot.

These maybe the EASIEST cinnamon rolls I have ever made. The dough is easy to work with, easy to make and the flavor is delicious.
One secret I have learned recently, is that bread flour is fantastic. My aunt filled me in that the secret to her light and airy rolls and soft cookies is using bread flour. It is lighter than all purpose flour. These cinnamon rolls were the perfect texture. Not too dense, just warm gooey and soft.
Another thing that makes these cinnamon rolls so mouth watering delicious and perfect for the cake-batter-obsessed is the Cake Batter frosting :) If it is a little TOO cake batter overload for you, you can make just a basic buttercream… however, nothing is to cake batter for me :)
I adapted a recipe I found for Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls over at No. 2 Pencil and they turned out fabulous. Seriously. These would make an amazing birthday breakfast or even a treat just because. I sent these with my husband to give to his scouts and none were left :)
- 1 box Rainbow Chip Cake Mix, powder mix only, I use Betty Crocker brand
- 2 pkg. active dry yeast
- 2½ cups warm water
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 5 cups bread flour
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup yellow cake mix
- cinnamon
- sprinkles
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup yellow cake mix
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3-6 Tbsp. milk
- sprinkles
- In a large liquid measuring cup, measure out 2½ cups warm water. Almost to hot to touch but not scorching. Pour in the 2 packets of active dry yeast and let it activate and foam up. (you could just pour the measured water into a bowl as well, I just find this easiest)
- Once yeast is active pour into bowl of a stand mixer. Add rainbow chip cake mix, salt, vanilla and bread flour. Use dough hook attachment to knead dough together, just for a minute or two.
- Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and place dough inside. Cover with saran wrap. Let sit for an hour until doubled in size. Punch dough down with fists and cover again and let rise for an additional hour until double in size.
- Once dough has gone through its second rise, remove and placed on a clean floured surface. Roll out into a large rectangle shape.
- Smear softened butter over top. Next evenly sprinkle, distribute and rub brown sugar over top. Then sprinkle yellow cake mix evenly over top of that. Rub gently to evenly cover if needed. Next sprinkle with desired about of cinnamon and sprinkles.
- On one of the long sides, roll up to make a long and skinny log. Slice into even rolls. It should yield 24-29 rolls depending on how thick you slice them.
- Place in a greased 9x13 baking pan, 12 rolls per pan.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let cinnamon rolls rise a final time in the pan, about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
- Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
- While cinnamon rolls are baking, make the cake batter frosting. In a large bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, cake mix, vanilla and milk. Add more powdered sugar/milk until desired consistency is reached. Add in as many sprinkles as desired.
- Spread frosting over warm rolls. Sprinkle with additional sprinkles if desired.

Angelina Jolie baby planAngelina Jolie wants more babies with lover Brad Pitt.
The pillow-lipped beauty - who is pregnant with Pitt's baby and has two adopted children, Maddox, 4, and baby Zahara - says she's ready to expand her family even further.
The star told Nightline reporter Cynthia McFadden she wants "lots of babies".
She added: "I'd love to adopt just a bunch more kids, have a few, and, just be travelling, be home, or, you know, not working the next few months."
Earlier this month it was revealed the 30-year-old beauty had sold her £21million British mansion.
The stunning mum-to-be has also reportedly asked architects to design a dream home in the US.
A source close to the 'Tomb Raider' star revealed: "She wanted to sell the place because she and Brad have decided to bring up their family in America."
Angelina had previously said she wanted to bring her family up in Britain.

"I'm quite looking forward to the day when our paths will cross, which I know they will," says Miller, 24, of Wright in February's Interview magazine. "She better live in fear."
(Source: People)
She'd better live in fear of getting bunions from wearing too many pointy shoes.
Oh sure, like it's the nanny's fault her fiance can't keep his twig out of the forrest!
Should she be in fear of being sliced up by Sienna's hipbones? Or that Sienna will have ANOTHER public tantrum and curse and swear at her? Because, um, I'm gonna say someone who weighs 100lbs isn't capable of beating someone up.
Are her boobies real?
Well put Anno, you read my mind. Can this turd just go away?
Sienna Miller is too much of a pussy to even talk shit to that nanny! Plus, her man is the one who instigated that situation.
She is a lap dog! An and unstylish one at that!
You guys obviously don't know how lethal Sienna is.
She's part of a gang of street bulimics who can summon forth projectile vomit consisting of various body fluids and last night's dinner from Nobu with deadly accuracy. Daisy will never see it coming.
Quiver at her wrath, for the fury of the binge and purge will scurge all ye cheating nannies.
Who is she anyway? She looks like a regular girl? Why is she famous? Her and Elizbeth Hurley are so regualr!
kitty…you funny!
seriously, how can that little pip squeak think she could kick anyone's ass? judging by the pictures of that nanny I saw, she's probably got about 30-40 pounds on Sienna.
and although the nanny knew Jude was "taken" at the time, Sienna seems to now be overlooking Jude's role in this. if she's "forgiven" Jude (as it seems she has) then she should just FORGET about the nanny. she doesn't have to be bestfriendsforever with her, but she shouldn't be so preoccupied with when "their paths will cross". this quote clearly shows that she's not over the betrayal. if she were, she wouldn't give two sh*ts about the nanny.
I give Sienna and Jude another 6 months. they sure as sh*t aren't going to get married.
Okay, I hate when woman attack each other when it was clearly that slutpuppy, Jude Law's fault all of this happened in the first place. Hello, why don't you attack his ass instead! Stupid brits, Sienna is a bloody cunt!
Hollywood Hooker!
Sienna is such a useless shitbag. Honestly, the NERVE of her threatening someone else when SHE is the one who doesn't have the gonads to say goodbye to Jude for good. He'll do it again and when he does she'll have no one to blame the pain on but herself. Sienna deserves everything she gets for being so tragically stupid.
She's incredibly stupid. And cowardly.
and isn't she the one who jude cheated with when he was married?? Hypocrite!
What a friggin' twit… Nanny would snap her ass in two in a mere matter of "nanny-o"-seconds. God this bitch is a moron.
Well I'm a Brit and I can tell you that she's no more liked in Britain than she is in the US. She's only got in the public eye because of dating 'Judith' 'I am hung like a button mushroom' Law. The bloke is such a wimp it's unreal. Sienna Miller couldn't punch her way out of a paper bag and in a face to face confrontation I'd put my money on the nanny any day of the week. All this says to me is that dear old Judith has managed to convince Sienna that he was blameless and that it was that nasty nanny seducing him! Get a grip on reality Sienna. You're a talentless,struggling actress who thought she'd hitched her wagon to a star. Pity it was a shooting star that crashed and burned in every other woman except you.
I had no idea Sienna had such a hot body! Even if she is a dick…
Yeah, so the Nanny just FORCED him huh? Wasn't Jude the one whose toddler was taken to the hospital for accidentally swallowing an ecstasy pill? Nice guy. Get a grip Sienna – your days as a dimbwit starlet are numbered!
Yeah, that's the spirit: forgive the guy who betrayed your trust and project your rage at the woman he did it with. Nice to see priorities on the straight and narrow. Useless, dumb-ass, style-less, overrated beeatch…
Oh come of it you guys! If you're fella cheated on you with some bird you'd be pretty mad at her as well. Its just natural, get down of your high horses!
It appears you are all obsessed with her appearance, well, Sienna is beautiful and one of the best dressed celebs out there… I sense a touch of jealousy haha!
And Anni "how many cliches can i fit in one sentance" Brit… Sienna is loved over here, maybe just you then who has a problem with her!
The saying "what goes around, comes around" certainly holds true here. Wasn't Sienna involved with Jude BEFORE he was divorced? Also, while she is understandably upset about the betrayal, she needs to remember that of the TWO people involved in the affair, only ONE (JUDE)owed her anything, specifically loyalty.
You know this coupling isn't for a lifetime-in time (like Michael Douglas), Jude's sex-addition and "issues" will be public knowledge. And Sienna should remember, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!"
