I've been on the road for 18 weeks this year. I've been to India, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, the United States and to more stopping-off points in Europe than a backpacker on a gap year. Being a professional tennis player can be a great life, but I can't tell you how good it feels to have a month at home.
Going home every evening and sleeping in your own bed is a real treat. I live only a 20-minute walk from the All England Club, though I usually travel by car during this fortnight. I became a commuter during Queen's and even last week I was able to travel by train on the day of my first (and unfortunately only) match at Eastbourne.
Wimbledon is my favourite fortnight of the year, the best tournament in the world. I've been fortunate to have a pretty good record here. I won the mixed doubles with Jelena Jankovic four years ago, got to the semi-finals in the next two years and have twice got to the third round of the men's doubles.
For the British players the support we get here is better than anywhere else. When you walk to your matches everyone is wishing you good luck and afterwards there are all the kids wanting your autograph. I love the whole atmosphere.
I often watch matches in the locker room. Although it's a bit small there's a good buzz in there. We all have our individual lockers and the club puts all the players from each country alongside each other, so you always see a lot of the other British guys.
We see more of each other over this fortnight than we do at any other time of the year. Usually when I'm on the road there are only three or four of us around at most. As for my brother, he's had to get used to the fact that the other Brits often go home reasonably early, leaving him to fly the flag.
2. I played with natural but lost
I'm playing doubles with Sergiy Stakhovsky. I already knew him long before Andy beat him in the final of the US Open juniors in 2004. Finding a partner can be very time-consuming. I haven't had a regular partner since I split up with Max Mirnyi three years ago. A lot of players are in the same boat. Inevitably you end up being pretty selfish: everyone wants to find the best possible partner.
Teaming up with somebody who has a high ranking will get you into the bigger tournaments. I'm lucky enough to be able to play with Andy from time to time. We've played together in Masters Series and ATP 500 events, where you earn the most ranking points. I have 1,740 ranking points at the moment – I'm No 46 in the world – and 500 of that total came from one week's work in Valencia, where Andy and I won the title.
I texted Sergiy a couple of months ago asking if he wanted to play at the French Open and Wimbledon. He was already committed to playing with Mikhail Youzhny in Paris but was happy to team up with me on grass. Sergiy is Ukrainian but he's been spending quite a lot of time in London because his wife is studying here. He's very relaxed and jokes around a lot, but when it's time to play he's very focused. That's a real skill in itself. He's a natural for doubles, which you can see in his singles play. He's an all-rounder who plays well from the back of the court but also likes to come into the net. He won the doubles in Dubai in February and on grass at Halle last year.
The earlier you ask possible future partners the better. I've arranged to play with Xavier Malisse at Atlanta and Los Angeles after Wimbledon. I hope I might play with Andy at one of the Masters tournaments in the States but I don't know yet who will be my partner at the US Open. Sergiy and I did OK in the first round, when we beat a couple of my fellow Britons, David Rice and Sean Thornley, in straight sets, but we weren't able to follow it up yesterday. Marcel Granollers and Tommy Robredo, who are the No 14 seeds, beat us 7-5, 7-6, 6-1.
3. Doubles is dangerous game
I was fairly late getting on the case for a mixed doubles partner here but I'm pleased to be playing with Jarmila Gajdosova. She's world No 28 and got to the semi-finals of the mixed at the French Open. She hits big and has a good serve. Nadia Petrova and I made the semi-finals in Paris but she had already agreed to play with Mark Knowles here.
Jarmila will be hoping that I find the target with my serve better than I did in the first round of the men's, when I hit Sergiy straight in the ear after I tried to follow the ball when it moved in the wind. He was a bit dazed but thankfully there was no serious damage. In doubles you can get hit a lot. Sarah Borwell, one of the British girls, got hit on the head and had big problems for a long time after that with her vision and balance.
4. How wife raised my game
Tennis players can be terrible when playing in faraway places and never getting out to see anything. It's very easy to spend the whole time at your hotel or the tennis.
I'm doing things differently this year. I got married in October and Alejandra and I decided that she would travel with me for most of this year. Until she finished her studies in November she wasn't able to travel much but we decided it would be great if we could spend this year on the road together before she settles into a job. We thought: let's enjoy ourselves, spend time together and build a good foundation for our marriage.
It's been great fun and I'm sure it's one of the reasons why I've been playing better. We'll usually stay on for a couple of days after I've played my last match. In Houston we went to the Nasa space centre, from Nice we went to Cannes for the day and to Monaco for an afternoon and we loved walking around Rome and Madrid.
5. Andy's no shot in cook-off
The food in the player restaurant at Wimbledon isn't bad, but some places are not quite so good. It annoys me. It can't be right to welcome some of the best athletes in the world and then serve them up with awful food. I'd better not name names in case I need a wild card from one of them, but some tournaments get away with murder. It's not difficult to serve an average bowl of pasta, but some people can butcher it. The best food? The French tournaments are good and I also remember Montreal providing some decent grub.
Fortunately Alejandra is an excellent cook. She does great burritos and I love the burgers that she does with all the trimmings. When I was single I cooked a bit but only because I had to. I'd cook something like steak or salmon that you could either fry or chuck in the oven. Andy's even worse than me when it comes to cooking. He just doesn't have the patience.
6. Queen's has King of lounges
It's been a difficult week with the weather, though I've known worse. In 2007 I played my second-round men's doubles on the Friday and my third-round match the following Friday.
Sergiy and I had to come off for about 20 minutes in our first match. I just went to get a bite to eat and then waited in the locker room. The player restaurant can get very crowded when it's raining. There's a little lounge with computers, which I think they're going to extend, but otherwise there isn't a lot for the players to do other than sit at tables or in the locker room.
It's unlike Queen's, which probably has the best player lounge on the tour. There's a table tennis table, table football, computers and lots of space. Everyone can do their own thing and you don't have to worry about standing on your opponent's toes.

"Child's Play" is a 103' West Bay, built by Westport and her interior was designed by Glade Johnson. She features and intricate interior design, with recessed moldings and back-lit ceilings.
This year her interior was refitted with new carpeting, new headliner and the sofa & chairs were replaced and re-upholstered.
Her large salon window provides great visibility while docked or at anchorage. The aft deck is large with a curved settee, which can easily accommodate eight for dining. The overhang on the aft deck is canter-levered with no support post, offering an unobstructed view. This was accomplished by placing and running large beams the length of the salon.
The open country kitchen is forward with a raised settee and two bar chairs, which can be pulled over to the dinette to accommodate up to eight in the galley settee. The settee is raised to offer great visibility through the galley window, while dining.
The joinery workmanship throughout "Child's Play" is nothing less than exquisite.
There are four owner/guest staterooms, appropriately placed throughout the vessel, with the master stateroom amidship and the VIP stateroom forward.
Her master stateroom is full-beam with a king-sized bed, spacious closets and drawers, a vanity to starboard and sofa port. His and hers heads are appointed well with a Jacuzzi tub/shower.
The VIP stateroom is all the way forward through its own staircase. Her storage is spacious with custom curved drawers and full-length closets port and starboard.

Ohtar | |
Arnorian | |
"Ohtar takes leave of Isildur" by Anke Eißmann | |
Biographical Information | |
Position | Squire of Isildur |
Birth | Late Second Age |
Physical Description | |
Gender | Male |
Gallery | Images of Ohtar |
Ohtar was the squire of Isildur.
[edit] History
Ohtar was apparently a Dúnadan of Arnor and by the first years of the Third Age he was fully trained and experienced and had attained the rank of "Soldier". He served as the squire of High King Isildur, and was dear to him.[1]
He accompanied Isildur's retinue from Gondor to Arnor, when they were ambushed by the Gladden Fields. Ohtar was one of only three survivors of the Disaster of the Gladden Fields. He rescued the shards of Elendil's sword, Narsil, and brought them safely back to Rivendell.[2]
[edit] Etymology
On the name Ohtar, J.R.R. Tolkien writes:
- Ohtar is the name only used in legends; but it is probably only the title of address that Isildur used at this tragic moment, hiding his feelings under formality. Ohtar 'warrior, soldier' was the title of all who, though fully trained and experienced, had not yet been atmitted to the rank of roquen, 'knight'. But Ohtar was dear to Isildur and of his own kin.[1]

Windows XP Network Bridge
In Windows XP, a Network Bridge is a feature that is used to combine two or more local area networks (such as wired and wireless) into one logical network. Computers on each network can communicate with computers on all of the other networks, sharing files, printers and even an Internet connection.To create a bridge between two or more network connections, open the Network Connections folder. Hold down the Ctrl key while clicking the desired connections, then right click one of them and select Bridge Connections. The Network Bridge will appear in the list of network connections, along with the connections that are included in the bridge.
The Network Bridge takes on most of the attributes of a normal network connection. To configure it, right click the Network Bridge and select Properties. You can add or remove connections from the bridge, enable protocols and clients, assign an IP address, create a connection icon in the notification area and other options. When a network connection is added to the Network Bridge, it loses its individual attributes. It no longer has an IP address, clients, protocols, and so on.

Some would argue that Peeps are edible, others would say they're perfect objects for arts and craft projects. Behold the Washington Post's Third Annual Peeps Diorama Contest, now accepting entries.
The diorama should encapsulate a famous event or concept, whether past, present, or future. Judging by the last two years, timely is good, but not too predictable (SlumPeep Millionaire could be overblown). Since it's judged by the D.C.-area hometown paper, any D.C. references are good. Punny titles are also appreciated.
Though the contest is open to anyone in the U.S., the five finalists must reside in D.C., Maryland, or Virginia. Photo submissions are due by 11:59 p.m. March 15; send in no more than two as high-resolution JPEG attachments to [email protected] The semifinalists and winners will be published on Easter Sunday, April 12. Look at last year's slide show for inspiration. Start warming up the hot glue gun.

Volkswagon vehicles can be clearly identified from space by their distinctive emission plumes.
SPACE – With the mass recall of Volkswagon cars after falsifying emissions data, there's another twist in the story, VW vehicles can be seen from space.
The International Space Station has released pictures showing Volkswagon cars driving along roads.
"We may be 400 km high in space but we can track the emissions coming from VW vehicles driving along highways, the emission smoke trails are visible from up here," NASA scientist Alistair McGiver relayed to the control centre via images.
The Expedition 45 crew, including the One-Year Crew duo, worked on a variety of human research to help future crews persevere on longer missions in deep space.
The crew is also getting ready for a pair of international cargo ships departing and arriving next week. Scientists on the ground are exploring how microgravity affects humans living and working in space as NASA prepares for the Journey to Mars.
Astronauts living on the International Space Station for months at a time, including the One-Year Crew, provide excellent subjects for long-term microgravity human research.
The crew today looked at how being in space affects humans' ability to surf social networks for the Social-X study and documented response activity when unfriended .

After the RAZR, Motorola went into a bit of a funk, debuting flop after flop. That changed with the November 2009 debut of the Droid.
Motorola opted to partner with Google's Android team to put the then largely unknown operating system on its new smartphone. With a powerful "Droid Does" advertising campaign by Verizon Wireless, the Droid was the first commercially successful Android device.
The Droid's first quarter of sales was even more successful than the iPhone's. But smartphone success beyond the Droid has varied. Motorola is now selling its third-iteration of the successful Droid line, but sales of the promising Atrix device have faltered, and Motorola has suffered delays in getting eagerly anticipated devices like the Bionic on store shelves.

I'm going to say that I don't think we'll be making any more vBulletin themes until we update to vBulletin 4, and when we perform the migration we'll have to make a whole lot of other changes anyway. So I think we might as well wait to see what happens once that migration is over, and then make theme/style decisions at that point. Will lock this thread for now.

Sources for type 2 water may include washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some pee, but no fecal material; dishwasher overflow. type 2 water can swiftly degrade into type 3 depending upon such factors as time, temperature, and contact with contaminants.

Boy, if you're going to apologize for your own Maps app, point out alternatives and at the same time disallow one of the very best on the grounds that it is from a competitor is silly and inconsistent.
Why re-invent the wheel? While I actually like iOS Maps, I still would rather see Apple innovate on things like a 27" Retina display for a Thunderbolt display.

World Cup Data Fever
As the World Cup kicks off with 32 teams competing for the championship, Social Explorer digs into the data field. While hundreds of millions of soccer ("football") fans watch the tournament over the next month, we will examine the demographics of those living in the US identifying with your favorite (and rival) team nations using detailed data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2008-12).
Find out how many people of each team's ancestry live in the US by the numbers and through interactive maps. We'll start with an overview of the 32 contenders, organized by the tournament groups. (For more on the games, check out the official FIFA World Cup website.)

*This ancestry group for this nation was not available in the regular published Census Bureau data. This number was calculated using the PUMS (Public Use Micro Data Sample), which is a large sample of the American Community Survey, and allows tabulation of this county.
**Data for Ivory Coast Ancestry was not revealed in the PUMS data.
^Because this ancestry group is small and not available in Census Bureau data, we mapped the related region (Other Subsaharan African, Yugoslavian, and Other Arab).

One of the fellows I work with, Brian, has found it fit to get a manicure, complete with pink (actually, I'm told "pinkish-coppery") nail polish. He got his done the same color as one of the "bolting ladies" who went yesterday (apparantly!) to get her nails done.
Now, normally, I would not find it blogworthy to write about dares, bribes, special occassions, marriages, or acts of terror (well, maybe the bribes might make it in, especially if it involves me getting large sums of chocolate in unmarked snickers bars) but today is different. Today is a special day. Today, I'm going to write about this because, well, Brian probably doesn't want me to and I've got my trip on my brain so it's rather empty up there, what with all the dust bunnies, New Orleans cable car names, ipod manuals, and all.
Brian probably doesn't want to go down in infamy as "the fellow from Carol's Blogger Site with the Pink Finger Nails." And, I'm sure, he won't (yeah, right.) Don't worry Brian, only like 8 people read this thing anyway.
Heh. If you are one of them, next time you see him, be sure to ask, "Got pink?"
For those paying attention, this picture is from the Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie, TX. It was taken during the parade of, ahem, "freaks" (methinks they should have one of those in our coffee/game room, what with all the pre-qualified pink finger nail polish wearing applicants right here.)
By the way, I was searching the web and happened across this little gem: MostPopularNailPolish. Yes, it's true. According to beauty.about.com (and hey, they must know, what with such a pretty URL and all) the most popular color in nail polish is something called "I'm Not Really a Waitress."
Ok, call me a cook instead. Just please don't paint me a pretty pinkish coppery color and call me Brian, ok?
Until next manicure...

Edit Article
wikiHow to Scan an Image Into digiKam
You may have something that you want to digitize, possibly a picture or drawing. You may have wondered what you can do it with in Linux. Don't worry, digiKam is there to help you. It's really very easy.
1After opening digiKam, click on Import >> Import from scanner... This is what you will see. It shouldn't be grayed out.
2If you have multiple printers and scanners, find the one that you want to import the image from. Here, Flatbed has been chosen.
4Select the desired DPI. If your image will only be seen on the Internet, there is no reason to go above 72 DPI. If you will be wanting to work with it and manipulate it, you might want to choose a higher DPI. Just remember:
- Lower DPI - smaller image - faster loading pages
- Higher DPI - larger image - slows the browsers down - more post processing options
5If you aren't sure of what you are doing, preview your scan. This will give you an idea of what it will look like. Once you see it, try sliding the contrast slider bar to see if you can improve or sharpen your image.
6Start scanning. Depending on the equipment (scanner and computer), it could be a fairly speedy process, or take a while.
7Save it. Once it is complete, be sure to save it. Unless you tell it otherwise, it will probably be in your Documents folder.

We do the legwork of finding the best in small business news and links. You have more time to do what you love.
The Death of the Debit Card?
Small businesses scored a victory a while back when the Federal Reserve limited the transaction fees banks charge each time one of your customers swipes their plastic. It might be short-lived. Banks will test monthly account fees for consumers who use their debit card to pay for stuff. The New York Times notes that Wells Fargo, the fourth-largest U.S. bank, will trial a $3-per-month debit card fee in five states beginning in October. A wider rollout could ultimately cause more shoppers to use credit cards, which incur higher fees for the merchants that accept them, nullifying the theoretical savings from the Fed's swipe fee cap. Speaking as both a consumer and a business: I ain't paying a monthly fee to spend money. I'll use cash or credit instead.
Keeping Your Business Ready for Disaster
Some folks continue to toil without power and other resources in the wake of Hurricane Irene, and the season's not over yet: Tropical Storm Lee and Hurricane Katia are both roiling at sea. Though Katia is currently not expected to present much threat on land, Lee appears poised to impact the Gulf Coast. No time like now to check up your business's readiness for disruption, whether from natural forces or just bad luck. Check out this advice on where to work when the power's out at your home or office, these tips on keeping your technology up and running, or this general overview on disaster preparedness for businesses.
Self-Employed and House Hunting? Enjoy the Paperwork
If you earn most of your income on a 1099 — the IRS form used for freelancers, independent contractors, and other self-employed folks — prepare for a more arduous road to home ownership. The New York Times examines the extra hoops would-be home buyers must jump through if they're self-employed. If you fall in this category, also check out the Intuit Small Business Blog's post on securing a mortgage as a small business owner.
Tremble at the Freelancer Revolution!
Speaking of self-employment: Check out a new series in The Atlantic from Freelancers Union founder Sara Horowitz headlined "The Freelance Surge Is the Industrial Revolution of Our Time."

Amidst some other not-so-hot financial news, a recent surge in small business borrowing — generally considered a positive economic bellwether — tapered off in July, according to the latest Reuters/Paynet lending data. Borrowing was up 13 percent compared with July 2010, but had seen year-over-year spikes of 22 percent in June and 27 percent in May.

Mary Avery and I have been talking about taking pictures of her boys for a while now but every time we plan on it the weather does not cooperate or something is going on with our families. This past Saturday we finally just made the time to do it! It was a thousand degrees and we found out later that both boys were sick! Good thing they are both super precious so we got a few good shots of her beautiful boys.
These are my two favorites. I love that they are so different yet have that common look that lets you know they are brothers.

Hail all ye heroes: return with me to the lands of Azeroth. There are new foes, allies, and mysterious perils haunting us from the past. The Naga have raised their scaled hides from the seas, and the Undead Scourge continue to consume the last pockets of resistance in Lordaeron. The forever changed Illidan begins a new quest, while the Watchers' wardens relentlessly seek to return him to his eternal prison. It is a dark time, and none can say how long people of Azeroth shall survive...
The Frozen Throne's story begins with the Watchers pursuing the escaping Illidan across their war-torn homeland. Little do they know, Illidan has enlisted the aid of some new allies. The plot continues by revealing the tale of the newly formed order of Blood Elves, a group that still fights the Undead Scourge. These beasts seem to be unstoppable foes, as every ally who falls to them is doomed to join their horde. This final installment in the Warcraft saga ends with dissention within the Scourge's own ranks as factions from the former Burning Legion vie for greater power with Arthas the Undead King. Through scripted events, the cast of characters comes alive as you learn about their motivations and goals in a world torn by constant battle. Some fight for justice, others for vengeance, and a few because they have no other choice. It is a very well-done story which continues what began so long ago in the original Warcraft PC game. The Frozen Throne certainly keeps with the quality that people have come to expect from Blizzard in recent years.
As Blizzard's first game to go truly 3D, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos allowed for many graphical options and display resolutions to run on a variety of different PCs. Because The Frozen Throne is an expansion pack, Blizzard could not do anything extreme to alter the engine. Instead, they chose to increase level of detail beyond the already impressive Reign of Chaos. Everything from the buildings to the unit and character models are well-detailed and unique. There are also new tile sets with which mappers can play. The most interesting of which is the Orc's decimated home world of Draanor. The pyrotechnics displayed by the new Seige Engine anti-air upgrade and the Blood Mage's ultimate skill, Pheonix, light up the battlefield as swords swing, arrows fly, and giants call out their challenge to the enemy while pounding on their chests. Battles between large and varied forces are truly a sight to behold.
Blizzard has a history of having decent voice acting in their games, and The Frozen Throne is no exception. Not limited to just the story, the units themselves have often entertaining lines to hear if clicked on (much like in Starcraft, and Warcraft 2 before that). I still chuckle when I hear a hapless militia man's attack order confirmation of "That's it, I'm dead.", or a Goblin Zeppelin's "Are you threatening me?" Many fans are delighted with the new audio tracks as well, and I was particularly fond of a new take on a classic Warcraft II song. Other sound effects accompany every building and action, creating a very lively battle ground with sounds of ringing swords, thundering hammers, and whistling arrows.
In a game like this, control can make or break the experience. Fortunately for The Frozen Throne, things have improved since Reign of Chaos. The ability to queue building construction orders on your workers (such as telling one peasant to construct 4 farms at once), queue unit upgrades, focus fire air units, and set more spells to auto-cast are all new additions. Hotkeys are available for the experienced player, but the ability to play purely with the mouse remains for those new to Azeroth. Reign of Chaos has already set a new standard in terms of the amount of control you have over your units during battle, but The Frozen Throne has raised the bar for base management and construction.
I, personally, can deal with lackluster story, graphics, sound, and even control. However, if the game is not fun to play, I simply cannot remain quiet. Fortunately for The Frozen Throne, this is not the case. The single player campaign is executed flawlessly, though some may note a conspicuous absence of Orcs. There are 3 new main campaigns, and none of them really stick to the race rules found in Battle.net play. Over the course of the campaigns, you are introduced to most of the new units and heroes, as well as discovering some familiar faces such as Illidan, Kil'jaiden, and Arthas. The new locations keep things fresh and introduce some new gameplay elements, such as the ability to befriend or battle new sub races. The finale is at once a cliffhanger and very conclusive, thus leaving the Warcraft saga wide open for more gaming goodness.
As well-done as the single player campaigns are, though, this game really shines when taken to Blizzard's free online service, Battle.net, to wage war against friends. Each of the four original races have been modified in a number of ways to maintain the precarious balance Blizzard has achieved between them. Blizzard has made some changes to some less popular units, too, to encourage their use. Also included are some specific racial improvements that enhance the versatility of play.
Of course, these changes are simply icing on the cake. What are really exciting are the new heroes and units. Each of the races has a new avatar, and there are five new "neutral" heroes that may be enlisted by any race. There are nine new heroes, now bringing the total to twenty-one choices with which to lead your armies. From my own experiences online, I have already seen a much larger variety of heroes and tactics from game-to-game. In addition, each race has been given 2 new units with which to wreak havoc. These new additions can certainly turn the tide of a battle. They are all fairly powerful and definitely help make each race's play style more distinct, with many new strategies and tactics to master. Also, the new buildable shops offer many useful items for your heroes to carry into battle. Anything from Healing Potions to Orbs of Lightning can be purchased depending on your race.
Other small but welcome changes to gameplay include text messages along with the "construction complete" audio cues which tell you which building or upgrade that has just been completed. Another large change is a reduction in resource costs to build units and structures. Unfortunately, there are far too many alterations to cover in-depth. Suffice it to say, I am very excited about this expansion to an already great game. I believe it will keep many fans awake into the wee hours of the morning and skipping work for Warcraft III all over again.
If you own Warcraft III, you are doing yourself a disservice by not picking up The Frozen Throne. It is a very worthy addition to Blizzard's line of high quality games. It feels like every aspect of Warcraft III has been tweaked and fine-tuned to the point of leaving me wondering how it could possibly be better. Thank you, Blizzard, for another amazing game.

Last week I got an email that started:
Hi Jeff – First, thanks for all you're doing to help us in the field who are trying to make the local food and economic development connections work for our communities! Your webinars and newsletters have been very helpful.
It's feedback like that (and the hundreds and hundreds of people who register for our webinars) that let us know that our hard work is paying off, and people are really finding great value in our webinars.
Coming up:
May 16: Starting a Food Hub: Successful Hubs Share Their Stories - Register now!
Food hubs hold great promise for a myriad of positive community impacts - economic development and job creation, farmland preservation, environmental sustainability... the list goes on.
But how do you start a food hub?
This webinar brings together the stories of the formation and first year of three different, successful food hubs. Our presenters will share some of the best decisions they made … and some of the worst. What types of contacts did they feel really helped their business to thrive? How much money did they need, and how did they get it? Why did they choose their incorporation status? And more...
If you are an emerging hub - in the planning stages - or work with groups who are considering forming a food hub, please join us for inspiration and instruction.
June 20: Raising Dough: Financing for Food - Register now!
"Raising Dough," a band-new book (available for pre-order now), is an encyclopedic treatment of different options food business have for acquiring capital. Elizabeth U, the author of this landmark book, leads an interactive session on how one chooses the right financial instruments for their food business.
And our archives:
April 25, 2013: Opportunity Knocks: Two Underutilized USDA Programs For Supporting Local and Regional Food Systems
Are you a for-profit business, a nonprofit, or a state, local or tribal government looking to finance a local or regional food system project? Listen to this webinar to learn about two USDA programs you may never have heard of: the Business and Industry Loan Guarantee program and the Community Facilities Loan and Grant program. USDA Rural Development can provide significant funding and technical assistance for local and regional food system infrastructure – and applications are being accepted now. Learn from USDA program experts and recipients who have successfully used these programs on this webinar.
Special guest: Kathleen Merrigan, outgoing Deputy Secretary of USDA and a champion of local and regional food systems.
April 18, 2013: Local Meats Processing: Successes and Innovations
Local meat and poultry can't get to market without a processor, but processors are pulled in many directions: Farmers would like more processing options, the kind of processing needed depends on the market the regulations are complex regulations, and even with premium-priced meats, the profit margins are slim.
So how can local meat processing survive ... and even thrive? Lauren Gwin and Arion Thiboumery, co-founders and co-coordinators of the national Niche Meat Processor Assistance Network, will share the results of their research on this topic, featuring innovations and lessons learned from successful processors around the country.
We'll also hear from several regional support efforts to improve access to local processing: Kathleen Harris, of the Northeast Livestock Processing Service Company; Casey McKissick, of NC Choices and the Carolina Meat Conference; and Chelsea Bardot Lewis, of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture and Vermont Meat Processing Task Force.
March 28, 2013: One Page Risk Management Plan
You probably know that business and financial planning can increase the financial performance of your farm, help you understand your business by being able to compare it to similar businesses, reduce your financial risk, increase your time efficiency, and improve your operation in other ways.
So why aren't you planning?
Chances are you would like to make plans for your future, but it's difficult to understand where to begin. This webinar gives you three powerful, yet simple tools to begin the planning process for your farm. Each tool is just one page, but employing them will clarify your vision of your business, enable you to make well-considered financial decisions, and cut through confusion of what to do next when presented with day-to-day challenges.
This webinar explains the theory and take you through how one farm might use these tools to focus and succeed in farming.
February 21, 2013: On-farm Food Safety and Access to Larger Markets
For recording, slides, presenter bios and more, visit this webinar's full pageOn-farm food safety is on the mind of those looking to support the success of small and mid-sized, sustainable producers. We dig into two cutting edge issues:
More and more wholesale and institutional buyers are requiring on-farm food safety certification, making these markets extremely difficult to participate in for smaller farmers due to the expense of GAP auditing. The Wallace Center is working with USDA to identify and run several pilots at food hubs of a group GAP approach. Instead of the current "one farm, one audit" protocol, participants in a group GAP audit have their shared food safety system audited, and are audited as one body. This method opens markets to producers who would otherwise be priced out.
The Food and Drug Administration just released two proposed rules outlining new standards for produce safety and preventive controls for food processing and manufacturing. These two rules, along with existing food safety regimes, create a maze of challenges for the development and growth of local and regional food systems. Learn about the new proposed rules, models for addressing food safety, and how to get involved in supporting sustainable food systems and safe food.

I dont think the plates will interchange. When you cut the housing, go back with a housing end of your choice and use a press on bearing instead of a c-clip. You can then use ford or chev drum brakes or one of the many rear disc conversions.
the outside diameter of the 8.875 truck rearend axle tubes are 3 inches measured with a dial caliper, the s10 is around 2.600. would it be best to make the brackets for the backing plate out of 1/4 inch steel cut with a plasma cutter?
Buy tube ends from someone like Strange Engineering to connect up to the brakes you want to use. Early S10's had a very goofy 3-bolt backing plate flange that held the wheel cylinder in with a snap-ring. You would be better off using a more common and getting new brakes.
You might also want to look into trading all those truck 12-bolts for an 8.8" explorer or 9". |
The truck 12 bolt is a nice step up, but its really only about as strong as an 8.5" 10-bolt. The pinion shaft is smaller than a car 12 bolt.
The truck 12 is fine though, and like has been said, most of the axle companies can sell you axle tube ends to put darn near ANY brake package on there. The 8.8 Ford ends have common and cheap explorer disc options. The 8.5 10-inch has great but expensive discs. The 14-bolt brakes have massive 8-lug drums that are bulletproof. Mix n' match if you want... or just put the 12-bolt drums back on. They're acceptable |
i have to disagree, the 8.875 is far better and stouter than any 8.5 10 bolt. ive used alot of these trucks pulling and hauling and never damaged one yet. ive seen alot of 10 bolt 8.5s explode, the only reason i can see why gm swithed to it in 1982 was it cost less to make. thats my guess.
Don't confuse the truck 8.875 with the CAR 8.875. The truck 12 bolt uses the same pinion shaft and input bearing size as an 8.5" ten. Most parts of the truck 12 are stronger, but since an axle is only as strong as its weakest link (and since the pinion shaft is the same as an 8.5), it is not really any stronger than the 8.5.
Keep in mind also that the 12 bolt truck was installed for LOAD capacity, not torque. The truck 12 was installed during the years that 180 hp was "lots." The point of using a 12 in the truck was for load carrying and towing, not hot rodding with monster power numbers and sticky tires. Like I said, there is NOTHING wrong with it, its a very strong axle, but just don't confuse it with a car 12 just because the ring is the same size. |
it would have to be stouter than the stock 7.5, and i havent tore one of those up yet. i just have about 7 of those truck 12 bolts laying around and i thought i could make a good upgrade for a sb s10. i dont use drag slicks or race at the track with them either, just run the roads, fast.
Sometimes it just isn't cheaper to use something free.
I don't know of any 5 on 4.75" brakes that will bolt up to the 1/2-ton backing plate flange. The old S10 flange is not ideal and the ID of the bearings are small for a 30-spline axle. If you had a newer (~89-up) 7.625" axle it would have brakes that would be usable. That leaves you with needing to buy: -Ford 9" type axle tube end -Custom axles w/ new bearings and retainers -Brakes -New U-bolts to fit the larger axle tubes -New Spring perches to weld on. -Shorten drive shaft and change rear yoke It adds up to more money then you would think even if you use j/y brakes. You would end up with a great axle. I had a free 8.5" 30-spline 10-bolt that I was thinking of narrowing to put under my S10 and steered away from it because of all the money and time it would take to make it fit under my S10. I have an S10 8.5" with disc brakes...but they are not easy to find. If you sold or traded some of those 12-bolts for a Exploder 8.8" you might be ahead of the game. |

With David Cameron ramping up the debate on Britain's place in Europe, recent reports that a high level European Union working group was making noises about various aspects of press regulation were duly regarded in some quarters as symptomatic of the EU's propensity for meddling.
It is by no means clear that press regulation is an area in which member states' competence could - or would - be conferred to the European level. Then again, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg already deals with questions of media law and it is not hard to see why Brussels might want a piece of the action. Press regulation is, after all, a subject on which almost everyone seems keen to express a view.
The British compact
There is no suggestion - at this stage - that the European Commission is seeking to harmonise the varied models of press regulation that currently exist around the continent, although the wider debate about regulating the internet inevitably has a cross-border feel. Yet it was interesting that the report of the High Level Group on Media Freedom and Pluralism should make a point both of highlighting the importance of the Leveson Inquiry and of criticising 'some politicians in high office' for allegedly rejecting Lord Justice Leveson's proposals.
Notwithstanding that this criticism apparently misunderstands the relationship between politicians and judicial inquiries, it nonetheless says a lot about the way in which events in Britain - and the actions of our media and government - can have repercussions elsewhere. The amendments to the defamation bill that were carried in the House of Lords yesterday might perhaps have been noted with a greater degree of approval by those fond of legislators who grab bulls by horns.
Whether it is a consequence of colonial shame or simply cynicism about the merits of our 'establishment', there is a tendency in Britain to baulk at the idea that our institutions are models to the rest of the world. Yet the fact is that this country's democratic foundations - including its press freedoms - are widely admired in places where democracy and free speech are more limited. Expenses scandals and occasionally putrid papers might have dimmed that appreciation but the fact that such scandals have been exposed and scrutinised can just as equally be held up to show that the UK's 'constitutional' compact between parliament, people and press remains strong.
For the most part we take our freedoms for granted. But there are plenty of governments elsewhere which are founded largely on corruption rather than democratic process and which do all they can to avoid scrutiny by the media or indeed by voters. And the corrupt and repressive are as keen to use Britain as an exemplar when it suits their purposes as those who campaign for fair elections and an unrestricted fourth estate.
Some years ago, when I worked at the Press Complaints Commission (and yes, I can take on the chin any amount of flak about the PCC), I was contacted by the Foreign Office, which was following up reports from the British Embassy in Nairobi that the Kenyan parliament was planning to establish a government-appointed press council. The Embassy had been surprised that one of the stated justifications for the measure was that it followed the British model and therefore must be alright. It didn't, of course, and wasn't alright from the point of view of Kenya's independent media.
Before its eventual repeal in 2009, the retention of criminal defamation on British statute books was often cited by less savoury regimes as proof that similar laws of their own were acceptable. The only difference was that, unlike here, they were regularly in use, handy for locking up overly-nosy or critical journalists.
Beyond our shores
A couple of weeks after the establishment of the Leveson Inquiry I was invited to run a series of seminars about media ethics and self-regulation in Georgia by a network of enlightened and independent journalists, editors and publishers. During my stay I was asked to speak to a group of aspiring reporters and writers, to whom I talked about the horrors that had led to Leveson and the calls for stricter regulation. A member of the audience shook his head ruefully: "If your country introduces tougher controls, our President will immediately use it as an excuse to clamp down on our media too."
Government policy in Britain clearly cannot be determined by reference to how it might impact on other countries, rather than by a proper examination of needs at home. And after all, public dismay at phone-hacking and other media excesses rightly demands a response to restore confidence in the press and its regulation. Nevertheless, it is equally wrong to believe that British policy-making happens in a vacuum; and that campaigners and governments elsewhere do not use (or abuse) Britain's example either to promote democratic development or to resist it.
The recent report by the EU's High Level Group is a reminder in the interminable Leveson debate that whatever new system of press regulation we end up with (and after David Puttnam's intervention in the Lords yesterday that is arguably less clear than ever), eyes beyond our shores will be watching keenly. For this reason, it is essential not only that the new system maintains press freedom - while demanding responsibility - but also that its presentation to the wider world leaves no room for doubt as to its positive intentions.

Student or Learner
Dear teachers,
I read the following sentences in my dictionary:
a. I have not gotten rid of my nasty cold yet.
b. I'm very glad to be rid of my bad cold.
May I say the two phrases are of the same meaning and interchangeable?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
They are close but not always interchangeable.
The "get" form often implies an active input from the doer (sometimes slight).
The "be" form is more stative, more passive (sometimes very subtle).
In this case "got rid of" puts some of the emphasis on his immune system, while "be rid of" is passive.

The Olympics got under way today with two gold medals for the host country and news that a Beijing-bound sprinter tested positive for doping.
Chen Xiexia of China took gold in the women's 48-kilogram weightlifting and 2006 world champion Pang Wei won the men's 10-meter air pistol.
"I had low expectations of myself, but my coach and teammates created ideal conditions for me to win," Pang said.
Katerina Emmons of the Czech Republic had the distinction of winning the first of 302 golds to be awarded before the games end on 24 August when she took the 10-meter air rifle.
The Greek national Olympic committee said 29-year-old Tassos Gousis, who competes in the 200 meters, tested positive for the steroid methyltrienolone on Monday. He has been sent home from a pre-games training camp in Japan after being informed of the result.
"The first test returned positive," Greek press officer Tasos Papachristou told The Associated Press. "He's not in the team. Now he's traveling to Greece where I imagine he will ask for the 'B' sample (to be tested)."
Gousis finished eighth in the 200 at last year's world championships in Osaka, Japan. He competed in the 2004 Athens Olympics but failed to qualify for the 200 final.
The finish is at Juyongguan, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) outside Beijing.
In women's basketball, Lauren Jackson, the WNBA's most valuable player last year with the Seattle Storm, scored 18 points to lead Australia to an 83-64 win over Belarus.
There are later qualifying heats in swimming, where Michael Phelps will begin his quest for a record eight Olympic gold medals in the 400-meter individual medley. The final is Sunday morning.
Phelps is expected to be pushed by American teammate Ryan Lochte. The pair swam a memorable 400 IM final at the U.S. trials in June, when Phelps won in 4 minutes, 5.25 seconds, Lochte finished second and both went under world-record time.
"I'm just ready for it to be here," Phelps said.
Other preliminary competition began Saturday in archery, badminton, beach volleyball, boxing, men's artistic gymnastics, rowing and sailing.
