THE RUNNER STUMBLES to Conclude Off-Broadway 5/20
Milan Stitt's drama THE RUNNER STUMBLES, presented by Retro Productions and The Bleecker Company, in association with The Arclight Theatre at The Arclight Theatre (152 West 71st Street) concludes its limited Off-Broadway run on Sunday, May 20. Peter Zinn, who helmed Retro Productions' revivals Michael Frayn's BENEFACTORS and Sally Nemeth's HOLY DAYS, directs.
Part courtroom drama, part whodunit, THE RUNNER STUMBLES is based on the true story of a nun's mysterious murder in a remote parish in northern Michigan in 1911 and the charge that her superior, Father Rivard, is her murderer. The action alternates among interrogations, testimony and scenes from the past to reveal that Father Rivard (Christopher Patrick Mullen), who had been banished to the small, up-country parish, fell in love with Sister Rita (Casandera M.J. Lollar); and when circumstances forced her to move into the rectory with him, his anguish became unbearable. Their relationship, inevitably, spelled tragedy, but not until the explosive and surprising climax of the play is the full extent of their sacrifice made clear.
Retro Productions' revival of THE RUNNER STUMBLES, which opened its limited run May 3, moved to Off-Broadway following an acclaimed Off-Off Broadway run in November 2011. The New York Times praised the revival as "quite an absorbing show...a shrewd mystery with a surprising amount of humor. Mullen is a first-rate actor. Lollar is also a multifaceted and forceful presence." TheaterMania.com called it "a welcome addition to the current theatrical landscape." In Back Stage, THE RUNNER STUMBLES was called a "smacking good play… credit Peter Zinn's lucid, subtle direction, and some splendid performances…. A play this good has no business being forgotten, and this Retro Productions effort does more than honorably by it. A Back Stage Critic's Pick."
The Off-Broadway ensemble includes Becky Byers, Nat Cassidy, Heather E. Cunningham, Casandera M.J. Lollar, Joe Mathers, Christopher Patrick Mullen, Alisha Spielmann, Ric Sechrest, and Richard Waddingham.
The production has set design by Jack and Rebecca Cunningham; costume design by Viviane Galloway and Kathryn Rohe; lighting design by Jacqueline Reid; sound design and original music by Jeanne Travis; and fight choreography and special effects by Joe Mathers. Production Stage Manager is Ricardo Rust.
In 1976, Milan Stitt's THE RUNNER STUMBLES, directed by Austin Pendleton, premiered on Broadway and ran for nearly 400 performances, with the New York Times calling it "a love story about an impossible love… this is no dusty court room record, but a play about people who are entrapped by their own and one another's obsessions." A film version, released in 1979, was directed and produced by Stanley Kramer, starring Dick Van Dyke and Kathleen Quinlan.
Director Peter Zinn returns to Retro Productions, having previously helmed their productions of Michael Frayn's BENEFACTORS (NYITA nomination for Outstanding Production of a Play), Jack Hilton Cunningham's WOMEN AND WAR, and Sally Nemeth's HOLY DAYS, He wrote and directed the Off-Broadway hit RUMSPRINGA. He has written the book for the rock musical SMILE, currently being workshopped in NYC.
Retro Productions began producing "retro theatre" in 2005. Previous productions include Norman Krasna's DEAR RUTH; Michael Frayn's BENEFACTORS; Jack Hilton Cunningham's WOMEN AND WAR; William Marchant's THE DESK SET; Sally Nemeth's HOLY DAYS and MILL FIRE; Mark Medoff's WHEN YOU COMIN' BACK, RED RYDER?; Max Shulman and Robert Paul Smith's THE TENDER TRAP; A.R. Gurney's WHAT I DID LAST SUMMER; Emily Mann's STILL LIFE; Doris Baizley's MRS. CALIFORNIA; and Casey Kurtti's CATHOLIC SCHOOL GIRLS. Retro Productions has garnered 17 New York Innovative Theatre Award nominations, with Kristen Vaughan winning an Outstanding Actress New York Innovative Theatre Award for her work in BENEFACTORS.
The Bleecker Company, initially housed at the 45 Bleecker Street Theatre, presents staged readings, playwright symposiums, and workshops of new plays through its New Play Development Series with the goal of fostering more world premieres onto the Off-Broadway stage. Recent work includes the Off-Broadway run of Elizabeth Stearns' HILLBILLY WOMEN, directed by Sondra Lee, at the Arclight Theatre.
Off-Broadway performances of THE RUNNER STUMBLES run through May 20: Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm, and Sunday at 3pm at the Arclight Theatre (152 West 71st Street, between Broadway and Columbus Avenue). Tickets are $37 ($30 Seniors). $20 Student Rush tickets at the box office, based on availability. For reservations, call 212-352-3101 or visit www.theatermania.com.

Yesterday was one of those borderline come undone days. As a freelancer you have to deal with a lot of unknowns, one of them being that you can't guarantee yourself a steady stream of income - at least not in the beginning.
A few days ago I broke a molar so I made an appointment with a dentist to get it fixed. I was dreading the visit because I assumed I was going to have the tooth extracted and deal with a painful recovery. After x-raying the tooth I was told that I needed a crown and a small filling in my upper molar. After reviewing the treatment plan with me, the dental assistant came in and slapped me with the cost - $678! My insurance would cover 45%, so I'd be responsible for about $374. I wasn't thrilled with that price, but I would figure out how to deal with it. Then, as the dental assistant reviewed the quote, he noticed that there was an asterisk saying "Waiting Period." He went to verify what that means. Apparently, my insurance will not cover major procedures for me until I've been with the plan for 12 months! I got dental insurance last April, so I'd have to wait four months to get this done and by that time, it will be a wash because I would have paid just as much as the discounted amount in monthly premium payments.
Needless to say, I couldn't do it. The dental assistant was concerned that I wouldn't be able to take care of my broken molar because I might get an infection which may reach my nerve resulting in needing a root canal. And, of course, not only is that procedure more invasive and involved, it's also more costly. Of course! Still, I just couldn't do it.
So even if I could pay the $678 up front, I don't know how soon I'd be able to recover that amount. As I was driving back home, I became increasingly disenchanted. Freelancing is not for the faint of heart. I absolutely loathe that my quality of health is dependent on money. I also hate that adequate health care is so inaccessible.
In the meantime, I have to keep the inside of my mouth immaculately clean and chew on one side of my mouth to avoid further complications and until I devise a plan to get this tooth fixed. Crossing my fingers that I'll land a big project or win the lottery. First, I'll have to actually start playing the lottery.
Think happy freelancing thoughts :)

When a man and woman checked into the Lockwood Holiday Inn in January 2011, the desk clerk knew something was off.
The clerk immediately recognized the driver's license presented by the woman for identification as belonging to a friend, whose driver's license had been stolen earlier.
The clerk called the Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office. The complaint ultimately led to officers finding pure meth in the pair's vehicle and to drug convictions in federal court.
Fabio Noel-Rodriguez, 35, of Watsonville, Calif., pleaded guilty Thursday to possession of meth with intent to distribute. Co-defendant Michelle Steinfeldt, 33, of Billings, pleaded guilty earlier to conspiracy to possess meth for distribution and is awaiting sentencing next month.
You have free articles remaining.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica Fehr said the desk clerk provided deputies with a copy of the stolen driver's license used for check-in and a room registration receipt showing that the pair had a vehicle with a Florida license plate.
A deputy drove through the parking lot looking for a Florida license plate and saw a vehicle with such a plate beginning to leave, Fehr said. The deputy pulled over the vehicle, which was driven by Noel-Rodriguez, and arrested him for driving without a driver's license. Steinfeldt was a passenger.
Officers secured the car, and a drug-sniffing dog alerted for drug odors, Fehr said. After getting a search warrant, officers found two packages containing 266 grams of pure methamphetamine, four cellphones, $3,909 in cash, a digital scale with meth residue, plastic baggies and a laptop computer. The cash, drugs and scale were found in a hidden compartment in the vehicle, she said.
Noel-Rodriguez faces a minimum mandatory 10 years to life in prison and a possible $4 million fine. Senior U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull set sentencing for June 19. Noel-Rodriguez remains in custody.

Repurposed Vintage Simplex Timeclock & Flashlight LampDecember 3rd, 2013 in member junk
I had been wanting to use this vintage Simplex timeclock for a while now. I was pretty set on making it a repurposed lamp and that's the direction I headed. I also had been holding onto the vintage copper flashlight. I used it as my stem and a couple of unique hand valves top things off for the edison-style lightbulb. For the base, I cut some wood from some scraps and gave it a nice red paint, distressing and wax. I'll finish things with some sort of shade but I like the edison glow for now.

We departed from Newbold with just the odd little lost raindrop hitting the surface of the canal and slowly headed down to Rugby where we moored for 40 minutes. This enabled Jan to make a quick trip into Tesco for a final top up of the cupboards. Whilst I was waiting for her return our youngest son called on Skype. He had returned from his five week trip through China, Tibet and Japan and is trying to catch up on outstanding tasks before the next big trip which is to the USA. He has a few short trips in between, one of which is to London. We'll have to see if it is possible to organise a day together.
At 10.30am we were on our way to Hillmorton and happened to notice whilst passing Clifton Cruisers that they were erecting a large box tube frame which looks like It will be a plastic sheet covered workshop. I guess they intend to move their floating paint booth from the end of the arm down to the hard standing beside the canal.
Perfect timing at Hillmorton arriving at the water points just as one boat was leaving The only problem with the water points here is the water pressure can only be described as "old man". I know the feeling! An Ashby Hire Boat was on the water point ahead of us and it was apparent they hadn't filled their tank for some time. We took the opportunity to eat a light lunch on the towpath whilst our tank filled. The hire boat finished 10 minutes ahead of us and was still attempting to enter the left lock when we approached the right lock. For those readers who don't know it, the locks at Hillmorton are paired. Our lock was almost full and the hire boat crew had only just shut the lower gates to their lock. Apart from the stop lock at Hawkesbury Junction, this was the first lock they had ever seen. We had to stop the crew from opening the paddles on both the top and bottom gates. A little like turning on the bath taps whilst pulling out the plug. Jan gave them some lock safety instructions and emptied the next two locks for them whilst they sorted themselves out. We were actually through the third lock before they had exited their second. It was about then that the very light rain decided to get heavy.
No point in both of us getting wet so Jan went in side and got herself all excited with a dustpan and broom. We cruised on down Barby Strait passing the odd drenched boater going in the opposite direction until we reached the moorings at Onley and decided to quit for the day. No sooner had we moored and got ourselves settled than the rain stopped! <grrrrr>
The engine hours tell me it's time for another blood transfusion. I'll do that tomorrow or Wednesday which will enable us to dispose of the waste oil at Braunston Marina.

1) I like myself a lot better when I don't drink any alcohol.
2) I still feel too weak to think about forever
3) My main goal for starting to blog just over a year ago was to change my dangerous habit. I have, quite a bit, but as long as I drink there is risk. I realize this.
4) Am I willing to keep that risk in my life? Not sure
5) Do I think alcohol is really good in any way? No, not really. It's just a bad thing that is hard to resist. (Glad I never smoked as I think that habit would be incredibly tough to kick!)
I had family in town and went 4 days not drinking. Hubby didn't either. Then we both had red wine Monday night and last night. Monday night we drank too much. No incidence per se... I think we each had a bottle over the course of about 4 hours, but still too much.
Last night the evening seemed dreary. I felt he needed to unload some feelings a bit. I suggested wine. We drank a bottle and 1/4 of red. He had more, I had two glasses. But it opened him up. We had a great discussion. I learned things about him I didn't know.
This is my quandary. I enjoy evenings like that. I have to say both evenings were at my instigation. He was going without but then lept at my suggestions to have wine. We enable each other, clearly. We have been drinking buddies. This is new territory. We are figuring it out.
We are also in therapy. I should say I am in therapy and he is participating as needed. He is very willing and we have some communication issues to work through. We both know this but love each other tons. Giving myself some room to not be perfect is okay with me right now in both the relationship and with quitting drinking. As long as I see improvement, subtly, in both areas, I'm good.
For now my only rule is no white wine at the house. If I go out to dinner sometime I might have one glass. That's easy because I don't want to drive with more. If I absolutely cave at home, it will be red. Yuck. Don't really like it but I can stomach it. Keeps me from drinking too much I guess. Hope I don't start liking it! I don't drink hard alcohol nor even beer because, for me, the AF beer tastes fine and I don't like liquor.
So that's all I'm doing right now, living in my white-out world. I like my new means of counting so am still keeping track. I think I need to to keep that external accountability in place. Something to refer to. So today it's:

Founders Brewing closes taproom
Founders Brewing Co. has been a bit of a mess this summer, but it'll be finished soon.
But first, the taproom must be closed on Sept. 3, and it will re-open to the public on Sept. 16.
The taproom will have normal hours on Sept. 2, which is Labor Day.
"As we're nearing the end of our expansion completion, we're seeing changes happen and happen quickly," Founders Communications Manager Sarah Aldrich writes on Founders' website. "The trailers that we were using for our company store and bathroom have been removed from our 'front yard' to make space for our construction team to finish up work on our beer garden."
The company store, which was located in a trailer outside the taproom during construction, closed on Aug. 12.
Founders offers free shipping on purchases from the online store during the downtime, until the retail spot opens up with the rest of the brewery in September.

It requires well visual sense, creative power and artistic concepts to place down a painting. Different schools of arts have proven various theories on paintings. These suggestions on painting are general and simple guidelines that could help to create a variety of types of paintings. The online art gallery of ours will even entertain you with several of probably the finest paintings in the planet. Drop in and get hold of spoilt with choices.
Put the colors of yours on the palette and use coats working with a paintbrush.
In case of engine oil painting you are able to clean out a level by using engine oil varnish. Be really mindful while preparing the combination of oil and paints in an oil painting. Poor mixture might crack up the painting. You are able to make use of colors having manganese or lead in them, as these improve the drying process. Don't dry oil painting in the lack of sunshine.
Style and tone are likely the most critical areas of painting contractor tips. It's really essential to recognize the visual effect of every shade of colors. Red, blue and green are the main colors. These styles are able to produce various other shades of colors when combined in portions that are appropriate. In the event that you're not extremely used to blending shades then use certain shades that you're acquainted to.
Work on every component of the painting simultaneously.

If you happen to find out that you have problems with the electrical system in your house, you're going to want to find a local electrician as quickly as possible, since a faulty electrical system is not something you want to play with. Those that don't have any problems so far, should still consider doing the research needed to find a local electrician, since having one available in case you need him is very important. Getting yourself an electrician when you're in crisis mode is much harder and it's definitely not recommended if you want to insure he will do a good job. When it comes to finding an electrician in your area, asking the neighbors for referrals can be a good way to start, since they might've used one in the past.
These days, electricity runs everything in our houses and we're completely dependant on it for food, entertainment and lighting. Even if you can live without TV until the next day, coming home to a pitch black house and finding something to do until sleep time comes is not fun at all. You can add to that the fact that you lose the food in your fridge as well, especially during the summer, and you can see why it's worth calling someone to come and fix the issue, even if it's at emergency rates. Ideally you should have a contact that you can call, a local electrician which can come during time of emergencies and help you with your problem.
One other reason why locating an electrician is hard when you have no electricity is because typically the Internet is down as well, since the modem runs on power, even if the laptop is still OK. Try finding a local electrician ahead of time, before you need him. Being well prepared for emergency situations is always better than reacting to them as they happen.

Residential Electricians are among the most vital technicians that you can employ for the efficiency of your home or building maintenance and improvement.

Residential Electricians Dallas You need to have a good security lighting system in order to prevent burglars from targeting your home. A good security lighting system around your home perimeter will protect you and also give you confidence to live in the place without much fear. It is possible to install various lighting system types which can provide light during the night and keep intruders off, in case you are not at home.
The current system of home security lighting is advanced and you can be able to install security lights in different places at home. It is also possible to control the lights by use of remote control or the motion detectors whether inside the house or outside. The security lights give you a clear visibility outside your home at night. Security Lighting in the Entrance The first consideration is to ensure a proper lighting system in the entrance area. You can use porch lights which are brighter and give extra light to the less illuminating lights. The garage should also be installed with enough security lights and make the drive way visible. It is advisable to have extra security lights in case the current ones burn. Security Lighting in the Driveway Secondly, your driveway or the pathways should be well lit. You can choose to install motion sensors at your home compound in order to monitor any movements at night. Having security lights is advantageous because you can be able to know what is happening outside during the night. Motion sensors normally help when there is a blurred vision due to mist, winter or fog. If your home has a big backyard you need to advance the type of lighting system on the pathways and the corridors. A house surrounded by security lights is much safer than one with security lights on the front side only. Besides the lights providing security, they also enhance curb appeal and visibility around the house.
Mix and match of lighting bulbs can be also done to enhance the safety and the security of a home. For instance, if you decide to install lights that easily compliment the front yard of the home and the pathways will not only lite the home but also make it look colorful and elegant during the night. Bright lights at night create a good scenario where one can choose to spend a night outside chatting with friends or even for the kids camping.

It is a commonly known fact that people are living in economic hard times and these calls for proper planning and economically using the little that is there, just to ensure that one leads a better life. This article is going to discuss some of the guidelines that when put into practice, will reduce your power bill and save you money. They include, but not limited to the following tips:

Tip #2 – Install Smart Switches This is another important tip that when practiced, will save you more money than you think. These include parameters like timers and motion sensors among others. Motion sensors for example are known for operating automatically- a move that is very detrimental in power saving. A smart switch will pay for itself twice in your first year. Power Saving Tips: #3 – Minimise the Use of the Refrigerator Electricians in Dallas Refrigerators are known to be one of the electrical gadgets that consume vast amounts of power; therefore to save power, their use should be minimized. For example, a house owner should see to it that they operate for less time and then switched off. Besides this, the coils should be cleaned may be three times a year in order that their efficiency is increased. Tip #4 – Electric Water Heaters These too offer large saving opportunities. For instance, everytime you take a shower instead of a bath, you are saving all that money from being washed down the drain with the bathwater. During such times, the home owner should see to it that electric heaters are not in use. Installing electrical timer switches for night time is another power saving tips of saving money.
Tip #5 – Embrace the use of CFLs Last, but not least, the use of compact fluorescence light bulbs is also a very important tip that when embraced, then paying huge electricity bills will be something of the past. This comes along with buying other appliances that have got energy star on them; as they normally indicate to a client the standards in as far as efficiency is concerned. These are some of the best tips to save on your electrical bill.

All work certified by qualified electricians Bathroom lighting can be tricky if you are not sure of how the lighting needs to be properly placed. You will want your bathroom and Bathroom lighting to be just as elegant as the other rooms and places in your home. One way to get your bathroom appearance at its best is to install Bathroom lighting in two different places. Depending upon the look that you desire for your bathroom, lighting can be placed above the vanity mirror that is usually located near the sink area or on either or both sides of the mirror. Keep in mind that wherever you decide to place lighting, it will greatly affect the way your entire bathroom looks.
Bathroom Lighting Fixtures Electricians in Dallas Since the brightness of a bathroom can be difficult to control, you should use halogen or incandescent fixtures for the lights. Using these type of fixtures will help you to control the brightness of your bathroom with little or no effort. With these type of features, you will be allowed to control the brightness of the bathroom lighting with a dimmer. Proper Design for Your Bathroom Lighting Your bathroom lighting is an essential part of a bathroom that needs to be addressed properly through design. When you are ready to choose the light fixtures that you will be using in your bathroom, make sure that enough light is able to provide an adequate amount of lighting. There is one technique that you can use to ensure that there is substantial lighting provided by a fixture. You can use a method called over-lighting and then use dimmers to be able to control the amount of light that you would like to have in your bathroom. Your dimmer settings can be altered at any time. Bathroom Lighting Bulbs Many people use neodymium light bulbs because they provide an awesome amount of lighting that is frequently compared to sunlight. This type of light bulb will have a bluish tint in appearance, which is caused by a very thin coat of neodymium. This is yet another method that can be used to control the amount of bathroom lighting that your bathroom has.
Lighting For Your Shower It is essential that you consider your shower, tub, and Jacuzzi if you have one when installing or upgrading your bathroom lighting. When many people are considering lighting options for their bathroom, these factors are frequently overlooked. You should use recessed downlights that are equipped with shower trims to properly illuminate the shower, tub, and Jacuzzi areas. If you are adding on to a bathroom that has already been finished, this will make a great remodeling project. In this instance, selecting a shower trim that has a domed glass feature is the best for getting an even distribution of light.

This is categorized as anything higher than 24 volts, though it varies depending on the state guidelines. More so, different employers have different requirements too.

As such, they can be fully vetted before they start serving the general public.DIY Commercial Electricians There are various hazards that commercial electricians are exposed to on a daily basis. Bodily injury arising from electricity is another reality that they have to contend with. Such injury could arise from electric shock from a circuit conductor with stray volts. Exposure of the skin and eyes by the flash of an electric arc can also be detrimental. As such, it is advisable that individuals should not to carry out any Do-It-Yourself installations or repairs, unless it's very simple electrical applications. Specialist Safety Equipment For Commercial Electricians To counter some of the mentioned risks and hazards, most electricians are trained on how to work safely on the job. To mitigate and minimize these hazards, some of the training they receive touch on: how to make sure that all the circuits have no energy running in them; specific equipment to limit the possibility of exposure to arcs; special clothing for protection including, clamps, boots, gloves, and chains that protect against accidental electric shock.

Controls and Grip. DeWalt's long bar switch and medium-diameter tool body enable you to grip and operate the tool anywhere along its length. With a high and low range, this tool is nice for drilling small holes or setting screws. The 18-volt battery made it bottom-heavy and car and electrician awkward to handle in tight spaces, which is a slight drawback for carpentry work; however, many of my tradesmen liked it for boring framing, and since most of them have other 18-volt DeWalt equipment, it made sense for them.
The grip point, trigger, and reversing switch on the Makita are located slightly below mid-body, while the motor is located high, making the tool IN awkward to hold in certain applications. For example, this body configuration interferes with gripping near the head, which is necessary to apply sufficient pressure to sink a screw or drill bit easily. The motor and battery are protected by a relay breaker that prevents overloading, which I like. "Also, when you learn a trade, instead of paying money out toward college, you can be bringing money in," says A.J. Pearson, executive director MILWAUKEE of the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee. "People have a misconception that this is just common, dirty work, but there''s car a very technical aspect and a pride in the craftsmanship that is part of this work."Training offered by the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) shows how sophisticated construction technology can be. Recently, the organization has been educating members in the construction of "green" buildings, which are energy efficient and often made from recycled materials. The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) also wants to dispel the notion that skilled labor is menial labor. "Manufacturing means everything from making electrician potato chips to making computer chips, and opportunities range from tool and die work to advanced robotics," says Wade Sayer, director of business education programs for NAM. "Plus many manufacturers give tuition reimbursement IN to learn on the job." POWER & PERFORMANCEI must admit that I was nervous the first time I watched a gleaming silver carbide-tipped blade ready to bite into a 2-inch MILWAUKEE steel pipe. The former stick-builder in me expected the blade teeth to hook tile steel and rip the saw out of my hand. Instead, the saws easily sliced the steel and sailed through with a low pitched, totally bearable scream ("bearable" assumes you wear suitable ear protection, which car is standard issue on my sites). After the effortless cut, the pipe end was clean, cool to the touch, and ready to install.

The unit cost for labor can vary significantly, depending on which union has jurisdiction. Work rules that affect how many workers ask are called, and how long they work before overtime applies, can also inflate costs. The contractor can help you prepare a budget that reflects the specific labor situation. As your point person with the unions, the contractor also lays the groundwork for collegial relations.
If you have a complex event or displays that exhibitors prefer to handle themselves an - such as scientific instrumentation or computers electrician and peripherals - ask your contractor to arrange for you to meet with the unions. Meetings can help work through the details and even gain concessions, but they can be contentious if handled poorly. The Craftsman, IN Milwaukee, and Sioux have fully exposed chucks. These make hand-chocking easier, which is nice for getting a bit started without the key. Controls and Grip. Designs vary widely in this category, so the controls and grips are unique to each MILWAUKEE drill. Milwaukee's small head and large body make it ask the "ugly duckling" of an the bunch, but it's remarkably well-balanced and easy to use, even for driving electrician screws. The tool's bulbous lower-half is much larger than any other drill in the group, but IN the neck is small and forms a comfortable grip location just beneath the MILWAUKEE 55-degree offset chuck. Its variable-speed ask trigger is a wide paddle that makes it easy to adjust speed. The reversing switch is on the back near the bottom and is easy to reach. an This drill works equally well driving or drilling. Its small offset head also allowed me to work best in tight finished spaces like cabinets and medicine chests.

Cut Capacity, Corded. Milwaukee''s corded 8-inch saw has a 2 9/16-inch cut depth, enabling framers to cut 2 1/2-inch framing bundles in one pass--a smart design strategy. Porter-Cable''s 7 1/4-inch blade with a 2 1/2-inch cut depth left the cutoff hanging by a hair and required a second pass. Both saws required two passes for knocking down 2-by framing bundles.
FEEL, CHIP COLLECTION, auto & SIGHT LINESFeel. Because this is a relatively new tool category, designers haven''t settled electrician on an industry standard or an optimum size for these saws, which IN and MILWAUKEE means not only different blade diameters auto and cutting capacities among the tools, but also that each unit has a markedly different feel--fortunately, they''re all good. If I had to choose (and I do) I''d say the DeWalt and Milwaukee cordless were a bit more comfortable to use than the other two cordless units electrician were. Both have comfortable IN grips and their switches MILWAUKEE are easy to reach auto and engage. That said, the Panasonic and Makita are nicely balanced, too, and their switches are well-placed and easy to use. Check out these features for yourself electrician and see which tool feels best in your hands. The unit cost for labor can vary significantly, depending on which union has jurisdiction. Work rules that affect how many workers are called, and how long they work before overtime applies, can also inflate costs.

Meetings can help work through the details and even gain concessions, electrician but they can be contentious if handled poorly. Plywood is typically used to cover the ground so trucks can drive over landscaped areas. Using plywood becomes expensive because the wood gets broken up after a few uses. Plywood also lacks handles for gripping. Plywood sheets exceed the NIOSH lifting equation limits for safe individual lifting. Also, mud can be hard to remove from the wood IN surface.The We Energies "Ergo-Nerds" - Fred Wenzel, Tim Allen, Bob Koenecke, Dave Paro and Steve Rueter - recommend using lawn mats, which pay for themselves in MILWAUKEE about a month and can last for years. They are available from numerous manufacturers and come in plastic, composite or fiberglass materials. Check out how auto much they weigh in comparison to plywood, how readily mud can be removed, and how easily they can be gripped. Some We Energies crews crafted a simple rack, which can be lifted off the truck and placed where needed, to save time and effort.
Good lawn mats can be handled by one person and reduce the risk for lower-back injuries.

Most of NOVA Group''s construction projects are located on military bases on the West Coast and in places like Guam and Hawaii. The company builds hydrant fuel systems (imagine huge gas stations for jet planes) and wharves and dry docks for submarines. Dearman travels to Hawaii every three or four months to meet army with the on-site crew there. As assistant project manager, Dearman coordinates the purchasing and shipping of construction materials (stainless steel pipe, cork board, rebar, concrete, etc.) Once a week, the project team has a safety meeting electrician conference call to discuss whether there were any accidents IN or close calls at the job site the week before. "Safety is a No. 1 concern," says Dearman. Strategic planning, problem-solving, and knowing how to meet deadlines and budgets are essential, and Dearman says he puts to use the accounting, finance, and math classes he took in college.
Structural Material. When we do use cut-off saws with abrasive wheels, we cut our stock in bundles. Metal studs and Chicago bar come 10 to a bundle and we lop them to length, so I tried that with all the saws in the test group. Each tool in the group performed great, and they glided through the stock taster than I had hoped. All the cordless saws cut MILWAUKEE bundles of 2x2 and smaller bundles of Chicago bar in one nearly effortless pass. The larger-diameter corded saw blades sailed through as well. Larger stock, like 2x3 and 2x4 studs, required two passes from all the saws. This means that we can cut 10 studs in about 10 seconds, instead of the four-minute job it used to be with snips. The 3 5/8-inch studs also required two passes from the corded and cordless saws. Next, I cut into bundles of Chicago army bar and uni-strut and all the tools delivered the same great performance. The tools made unbelievably quick work of all this material.

I've had my E-flite Blade mSR RC helicopter for several months now. Having previously mastered a coaxial heli, but struggled with several larger single-rotor helis, the mSR was pleasantly easy to fly. For a single-rotor heli, I was quite surprised at how quick and easy it was to learn to fly. I progressed very quickly from a basic hover to flying around the house. Read on to get my full review.
Small Heli that Thinks its a Big Heli
The mSR is a single-rotor, ultra-micro helicopter. It is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but flies like a heli several times its size.
I have two larger RC-helis. The mSR clearly has a performance level comparable to these two larger single-rotor helis. It is a nice size for flying around the house, and the performance to maneuver around lights, furniture, and family members without crashing into them.
In addition to the detailed review below, I've included some videos that help explain the mSR and demonstrate some of its flying capabilities.
Key Features
The mSR comes in two versions. The Ready-to-Fly package comes fully factory assembled, test-flown and, as the name implies, ready-to-fly. It also comes in a Bind-N-Fly version compatible with existing Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM2 radios. I have the Bind-N-Fly version, and am using a Spektrum DX-7 radio. The Ready-to-Fly also uses the 2.4GHz DSM2 technology receiver, so you can easily upgrade to a more full featured radio transmitter at a later date.
Both the Ready-to-Fly and Bind-N-Fly packages come with the fully assemble heli, two single-cell 120mAh Li-Po flight batteries, and a four battery charger with AC adapter. The package also includes a spare flybar, tail rotor, canopy grommets, linear servo shaft retainers, two swash to flybar pushrods, Phillips screw driver, and a head alignment tool. The Ready-to-Fly version also comes with a 4 Channel, 2.4GHz DSM2 transmitter.
The factory-installed 5-in-1 control unit combines the DSM2 receiver, motor ESCs, mixer, gyro and servos. The gyro on this small heli provides amazingly stable flight.
The heli itself weighs less than one ounce. The heli is so light and durable that it has survived many crashes without any damage.
In Flight
The mSR has amazing performance and agility for a little heli. The gyro on this heli is really nice. It easily locks in a hover. It also holds a nice steady flight. Check out the videos on this page to see just how fast, stable and maneuverable the mSR really is.
One Tough Little Heli
Next to performance and ease of flight, the mSR toughness impresses me most. A few years ago when I got my first RC heli, it seemed like every time I crash it, something broke. This was quite frustrating, especially since while learning to fly I crashed a lot. I wish the mSR existed a few years ago. It would have saved me considerable money and frustration. Not only is it easy to fly, so you crash less, it is one durable heli. I've crashed my mSR many times. Two of the most memorable were into the edge of a coffee table. The mSR's light weigh and resilient components has taken even tough crashes without a scratch.
If you are interested in flying this little heli yourself, here is an Amazon link to the Blade mSR RTF RC Helicopter. You can find the Bind-N-Fly version here: Blade mSR BNF.

The California Supreme Court has told the Secretary of State to hold off on placing a controversial question on November's ballot.
The court has ruled Secretary of State Debra Bowen cannot take any action related to putting Prop 49 on the November ballot. The proposition poses an advisory question to voters, asking if the US Constitution should be amended to overturn the Citizens United ruling. That 2010 decision by the US Supreme Court allows corporations and unions to spend freely in political campaigns. The result of California's vote would not have any legal affect.
The legislature passed the bill allowing for the advisory question, and Governor Jerry Brown let it become law without his signature. But the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association sued, saying the question amounted to a "public opinion poll."
The court ruled Bowen cannot act on the proposition until the court rules on its validity.

You didn't have to take too many steps through the conference halls at Mandalay Bay to understand what the hot topics of discussion are at Cisco Live 2017: DNA and software-defined architectures, intuitive networks, meaningful and actionable analytics, and transformational technologies and services were all front and center not only at our own Cisco booths but also those of our partners and 3rd party vendors. Everywhere you looked, you saw that the face of network technologies is changing.
The main takeaway? Network technologies are evolving rapidly toward software-centric and virtualized models and architectures. Concepts such as intuitiveness, application-level visibility, and actionable analytics are becoming as or more important than the old mainstay metrics of throughput and uptime. This bodes well for our prospects and customers in the long run, but all this change presents complexity and disruption that must be managed properly in order to tap into the benefits and opportunities beyond.
The thought that immediately comes to mind is just how imperative managed services will be moving forward for our large, global enterprise prospects and customers in this paradigm shift. The key to transformation is to ensure that innovative new business processes are implemented and supported by these new technology services—this is not a single event but rather a journey during which the enterprise must manage existing processes and infrastructures while preparing for, migrating, deploying, and optimizing next-generation networking, data center, and collaboration infrastructures.
Many visitors to the Managed Services booth articulated to us the vague unease they're already feeling as they process and assess where all this is leading them. The conversations culminated in some very basic questions about managed services and our role in the transformation of their core business. Surely we offered more than just device monitoring given all this complexity, right? Fortunately, we were able to show with our demonstrations and explanations just how much managed services are evolving in pace with the products and technologies causing all this disruption, opportunity, and potentiality.
At the end of the day, a few questions stuck out.
- So what are managed services? You'd think that we had established what managed services are for the IT industry, but it became apparent that when this question was asked, it was posed with a knowledge of what last-generation managed services are (device monitoring, up/down status, basic break-fix) and with a desire to understand the role of managed services in dealing with next-generation infrastructures. This lead to great conversations about partnering with our customers to guide them through transformation, not just serving as an outsourcing option for their Day 2 operations. It also led us to talk about meaningful business outcomes rather than individual capabilities and deliverables.
- How are managed services priced and procured? What really became apparent here is that different organizations have different needs. Our explanations about the different tiers of services, different consumption models, and other flexibilities and options built into the packaging and pricing of our managed services went over very well—what the visitors to our booth stressed was that a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works, but having built in standardization and consistencies was needed and necessary too and a great place to start.
- Where do we begin the discussion? For our large enterprise prospects and customers, transformation is not going to be a localized event focused on just one area of their IT capabilities. In most cases, it's going to affect their networking infrastructure, data center capabilities, and collaboration services. This naturally lead to conversations about bundling, integrated offers, and a single Cisco experience. The ability to present a single unified front and point of contact across all areas of service leading into Day 2 operations was paramount to everyone with whom we spoke about managed services.
Day 2 will probably present more and varied topics of discussion. Stay tuned and we'll report back at the end of the day.
