what with the 4-day buying binge on Wall St., Mr. Bonner reminds us once again that he has a fix...? But why not, it's as good as any. UB
The problem was pronounced "contained," by then-US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson on April 7th, 2007. And then, on July 20th, Fed chairman Ben Bernanke admitted that the crisis could bring losses up to $100 billion.
But there was no container large enough to hold the subprime losses. Each time one was set out, it quickly overflowed. The latest reports tell us that the bilge is now 500 times deeper than the Fed head forecast...and still rising. And this comes after $11.7 trillion has been committed in the US alone to pumping it out. Whether the plumbers are plain idiots or clever rogues, we can't say, but it should be obvious after two years of watching them, their pumps don't work.
It is not often that we are called upon to advise the world's government. In fact, we can't remember a single time. But we can't resist a lost cause. So, we offer the Daily Reckoning Plan to Save the World, or DRPtStW for short.
We begin with a brief rehearsal of what went wrong: The economy as it was before the spring of 2007 was too wonderful for words; whenever you tried to describe it, it sounded ridiculous. For example: "The richest get richer and richer by borrowing from the poorest."
"We think; they sweat," said one analyst, explaining how Americans could live beyond their means year after year. The West was just recycling the East's "savings glut," added Bernanke. Meanwhile, derivatives - based on mortgage debt from people who couldn't pay - "helped to make the banking and overall financial system more resilient," said the IMF in 2006.
Each sentence must have made the gods choke...groan...and then laugh. But beginning in 2007, came a correction. Suddenly, the big spenders saw their houses fall in value. Lenders watched their collateral collapse. The end was nigh. Two years later, $50 trillion has been lost, according to an estimate from the Asian Development Bank. After a slap in the face like that, you'd expect a little clarity. Instead, the public seems to have acquired a taste for bamboozle; now they can't get enough of it.
Just read the Financial Times. This week it has a windy series on the "Future of Capitalism," inviting readers to imagine how the decaying old creed might be reformed. Alas, for capitalism, it's out of the frying pan, into the toilet. Larry Summers, Obama's number one financial advisor, voiced the prevailing view: "This notion that the economy is self-stabilizing is usually right, but it is wrong a few times a century. And this is one of those times...there's a need for extraordinary public action at those times."
The gist of his program can be expressed in another wistful absurdity: The consumer economy died because of too much spending; now we will revive it by spending more. "Give me your cunning bankers, your hopeless CEOs, your huddled masses of chiselers, spendthrifts and boondogglers," says the Obama team, "and we'll give them other peoples' money!"
"There's no place that should be reducing its contribution to global demand right now," explained Summers. "The world needs more demand." But it was demand that the world recently had too much of. English speakers took on too much debt to create it...and built too many houses and too many shopping malls to satiate it. And despite the ready cash offered by Bush, Bernanke, and Paulson, demand has sunk, because the real problem is not an absence of spending, but a surfeit of debt. In America, for example, total debt went from 150% of GDP in the '80s to 350% in 2007. The financial markets panicked when it became clear that debtors didn't have the cash flow to pay off the debt...and that an entire world economy had been fizzed up to supply products to people who couldn't afford them. Investors have been discounting debt-soaked assets ever since.
The fix is obvious - reduce the level of debt. About $20 trillion worth of debt, in the United States alone, needs to disappear. Then, consumers can go back to doing what they do best - consuming. But how do you reduce the debt level? Former Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon had the right idea in 1929: "Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate... It will purge the rottenness out of the system... Values will be adjusted, and enterprising people will pick up the wrecks from less competent people."
What's the cure for a depression? It's a depression. Let willing buyers and sellers mark debt down to what it is really worth. Mellon's plan was not followed by the Hoover or Roosevelt administrations. Instead, they introduced elaborate bailouts, stimulus programs, and boondoggles. That is why the depression is known as the Great Depression, rather than the So-so Depression. By the end of the 30s, the US economy was almost exactly the same size it had been at the beginning. Likewise, in Japan, holding off liquidation brought a "lost decade" in the '90s. Bush followed in Hoover's footsteps. And now, the Obama administration follows in Roosevelt's and Miyazawa's.
Here's our advice: forget it. Let the depression do its work. Let the bad times roll!
Enjoy your weekend,
Bill Bonner

Teak Countertops, Teak Lumber
…and More
Matt Berk of Richmond, Virginia's EcoSupply Center has a lot of experience with sustainable surfacing products, and leads up a team that possesses an impressive background in design. The company distributes some of the industry's most innovative materials: Suberra Cork, Plyboo bamboo, Richlite cladding, Kirei board, and more.
Yet the growing popularity of one product line has opened up some surprising new possibilities for EcoSupply. "What seems to be selling very fast for us now is our Proteak product," said Berk. "We're mainly countertop, sheet goods, and interior casework guys, but suddenly we're selling a lot of their decking and raw lumber."
Proteak produces plantation-grown teakwood from their own FSC-certified forest properties in western Mexico. Initially, they limited their product selection to butcher-block countertops and butcher blocks, with good initial success. As the company's timberland matured, they were able to FSC-certified decking wood as well.
Featuring a golden-brown grain pattern, Proteak decking shows a little more 'character' than the teak favored by traditional ship builders, but it performs just as well outdoors. It's naturally water resistant, termite resistant, and mold resistant, with the superior dimensional stability of many tropical hardwoods. Its higher silica content makes it naturally slip resistant as well.
EcoSupply has been supplying Proteak as an alternative to ipe. "It's been just flying off the shelves," Berk reports. It's a product you can pitch to architects because it's an FSC wood with a unique look, and the price points are very good relative to some similar products that are out there."
EcoSupply supplies Proteak to most of the eastern U.S.

Dealers in midwestern/prairie states can source Proteak through Northstar Surfaces.

Dhanuska is a very nice and friendly host who gave us Dome advice about sightseeing and the area where we were staying. Public Transport was close somit was easy to get to the sightseeing sites. I would definitly recommend this accomodation.
Many thanks to the guys. They literally saved our week-end in London! But for them, we would have had our journey ruined by a con-man.
We were kindly welcome. The room was nice and the location is perfect. I do reccomend it!
We enjoyed our stay at the flat very much. Everything was arranged very nicely and Dhanushka and her boyfriend were so pleasant. The flat and the whole residence make you feel at home and the bedroom offers everything you need (including wardrobe...).
I would recommend the stay at this flat to anyone.

Answers by Expert:
I would like to answer under the category of Psychiatry and Psychology. However, I would like to see a separate category for Psychotherapy/Psychoanalysis. I do not answer questions about medications as I do not prescribe. My expertise is in psychotherapeutic treatment.
I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst who specializes in the treatment of mental health issues caused by childhood trauma, domestic abuse, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, and a wide variety of psychological disorders.
The kind of therapy I do is often referred to as deep therapy, talk therapy, or psychoanalytic therapy. Please note that I am not against medications and when managed well, medication can be an adjunct to psychotherapy intervention.
I think it is important for the public to realize that psychodynamic or psychoanalytic psychotherapy DOESmake changes not only in people's minds but those changes can also be detected in their brain structure. Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis are powerful interventions to help people change their lives from the inside out.

Campus Environment: "[Beloit] is a place to develop a strong sense of identity."
Student Satisfaction:
"Beloit is a happy place that multiplies talents."
"Beloit gets 94 percent to 97 percent of its freshman back for sophomore year, which is at least as good as the status schools."
Student/Faculty Collaboration: "It is not unusual for [Beloit] students to be co-authors with faculty members on papers presented at professional meetings and occasionally of a book. It would be unusual for an undergraduate to have this kind of excitement or get this kind of recognition at a university."
Teaching and Academics: "Beloit's students are heavily involved in their own education. [Many] present an individual project in open forum and submit to questions from other students, faculty, and staff. Some projects have been good enough to be accepted for academic professional meetings."
Producing Future Leaders:
"[S]eniors and recent graduates are saying [. . .] emphatically that Beloit has changed their lives."
"[B]y the time they graduate, more than half of Beloit's students have had some kind of off-campus study or internship, in this country or abroad. Also, over 80 percent of graduates have completed an independent study or special project."
"Sixty-three percent of graduates go on to get graduate or professional degrees, which puts [Beloit] among the top 50 in the country. And when it comes to producing future Ph.D.s in sociology, anthropology, geology, and foreign languages, it's in the top 15%. When Who's Who is used as an indicator of major contributors or achievers across the board, Beloit again appears among the top 50."
"Beloit is a founding member of the International 50 [. . .]. This group produces foreign service officers, ambassadors, and people who get doctorates in foreign languages and international studies at four to six times the rate of major research universities."

"I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders"
maybe you should point out to whom this is refering to, cause one guy showed up today, obviously don't know the rules.
"OFFSEASON? We don't need no stinking offseason"
What qualifies as smack? Is arguing rationally over rival teams count as smack? Or is just the mindless posts from guys like greengiant which contain no substance?
BINGO!!! If it is rational then it's cool. If you want to talk about Jay Fiedler's fat mom or whatever, take it to the smack board. I hve read a couple of your posts Gil and it looks okay to me. You are cool and classy compared to a lot of Jet fans who stumble on in here. If you read what greengiant had to say and think it is smack, then you are on the right path, I think.
"That's pretty idiotic"
and GreenGiant 32
"foul language is just one of the attributes of an ignorant loser such as yourself"
even Marino Fan
"only fags wear that vomit green color"
just examples.
Don't say it in a forum other than Smack
this is a premature warning.
Just don't do it again
would it be okay to talk smack in this thread regarding talking smack???
Hey man, I was just standing up for this place when I said that to him. You gotta see his 1st post to see that he was asking for all that and even more. I don't want no trouble, but I was trying to stand up for us Phinfans here, even though it wasn't in the smack board, someone needed to smack this guy around. You are gonna let this clown show up and flaunt his crap? Niether am I. I feel like this place is home, so I protect it. Hope you understand why I lashed out at him.
I do. That is why I'm not going to do anything. But if it happens again from anyone, there will be consequences. If someone talks smack, send in a report, let us move it, and once it is in the smack thread, talk all you want. I'm glad you did what you did. Thanks.
hey T-Rock, the answer is yes, unless u r talking smack, but if u have questions about smack, ask them here.
"Jay Fiedler's fat mom"? LMAO!

From the 10th to the 13th of January 2013, the small fishing town of Lancelin hosted the longest running windsurfing event in Australia: the Lancelin Ocean Classic. For its 28th consecutive year, the event attracted close to 4000 visitors and hundreds of competitors such as world-class sailors Björn Dunkerbeck, Peter Volwater, Steve Allen or Ben Proffitt.
The Lancelin Ocean Classic 2013 opened with the waves competition in 15-knots winds and 2m waves and saw Ben Severne take the victory, closely followed by UK's own Ben Proffitt and Severne's product manager Simon Hurrey who managed to beat Peter Volwater in the losers' final to grab 3rd place. In the Women's division, Karin Jaggi snatched the win away from Laure Treboux.
On Saturday, over 100 sailors gathered at Ledge Point for the LOC Marathon; a 25 kilometer-long downwinder to Lancelin. With 41x world champion Björn Dunkerbeck, 10x world champion Steve Allen and defending champion Peter Volwater, the show was guaranteed. In standard Lancelin Ocean Classic style, the winds picked up to 25 knots right before the race and forced the competitors to downsize their sails. Steve Allen grabbed the win and broke the event's record with a time of 24 minutes and 38 seconds. He was closely followed by Peter Volwater and Björn Dunkerbeck who all finished in less than 25 minutes. In the Women's division, Karin Jaggi recorded a time of 29 minutes and 40 seconds to win it.
Competitors, sponsors and spectators gathered afterwards for the prize-giving ceremony and legendary after party. We managed to get a few words from Ben and Steve, who are already looking forward to next year's LOC.
Starboard: Congratulations Ben! How does it feel to win on your turf?
Ben Severne: Always good when we stop the Poms from winning the Lano event! This year with Ben Proffitt, Adam Lewis, Simon Hurrey and Greame Woods signing up, it was looking like the odds of a Brit taking it out were high.
Starboard: What were the conditions like and do you think they were good for this kind of contest?
Ben Severne: We had plenty of wind, and if you knew where to look there were some nice bowly sections. They scheduled the contest for 1 day, so they got pretty lucky really. The format this year was 3 waves and 3 jumps, which I reckon was a bit much for the short heats – not a lot of time to get the basics down and then try to scale up some bigger moves, so equipment choice was critical.
Starboard: What were you sailing on? Is that your regular gear? What were the advantages of your setup?
Ben Severne: I was riding a Starboard NuEvo 80 and a 5.0 Severne S-1. The NuEvo 80 is a production version of the boards I normally sail; it feels pretty much identical to the customs just without the cool paint jobs.
I'm pretty confident I have an equipment advantage when it comes to competing at South Passage: my boards are real loose, so it's easy to go square off the bottom and get up under the lip. There's not a lot of time or space to do that there, and you see most guys on stiff boards either missing the section completely or jamming a pivot turn off the tail and skidding down the face. And then my rig gives me a lot of confidence, especially when you're getting down to the business end of the contest after sailing a few heats back to back: I know everyone else is carrying way more rig weight, and as tired as I feel they are doing it a lot worse. I reckon whatever I lack in fitness and windsurfing ability I can make up in having better gear.
Starboard: Did you specifically train for this event (and the win) or was it more of a "on the spur of the moment" thing?
Ben Severne: Yeah, I specifically train for what happens AFTER the win!
Starboard: You certainly have the level; what would it take for you to compete in a PWA event?
Ben Severne: Not sure that really looks like a lot of fun to me…
Starboard: Are you still thinking of sail designs when competing or are you 100% focused on the win and your wave sailing?
Ben Severne: If I'm thinking about sail designs when I'm competing it's because something isn't working right. I make sure I take gear that I'm confident in so I don't need to think about it. Not sure that I'm focused on the win though, really I'm only focused on the next wave. I have a short attention span.
Starboard: Your brand dominated the 2013 Lancelin Ocean Classic; is it because you have great riders or great gear?
Ben Severne: Great riders for sure. But you can't get the great riders without having great gear for them to use…
Starboard: Where does Severne stand in 2013 and what do you think are the next steps?
Ben Severne: We stand where we've always been; at the cutting edge of windsurf design. We'll keep making stuff that works better. We'll keep making it lighter and stronger. We'll keep windsurfing.
Starboard: Congrats on the win! Peter Volwater is a solid force at the LOC, how did you manage to beat him?
Steve Allen: Thanks! I guess it was my gear just working so good; I just had to hold on and the gear won it alone! I had a good start, which is important in beach starts, but Peter was a touch ahead. Then, for most of the race I was just sitting in my harness trying to keep as much pressure off my legs and arms as possible as I had not been sailing for almost 2 months and knew that I needed to save my energy to try to catch and pass him towards the end of the race. But to my surprise my gear was working so amazingly good that I caught and overtook Peter just on cruise mode on the 3rd reach! With every gust, my gear just accelerated by itself without me needing to push; I was just holding on for the ride! Great great feeling!! As I was quite unfit, by the last jibe my arms were pumped and I could hardly hold the boom so I made the last jibe very wide and slow in order to hook in as quick as possible on the other side. This allowed Peter to make a faster, more aggressive jibe on the inside and overtake me but with my speed, I was confident that I could pass him again. He went a little high looking for the last gate, so I dropped my outhaul, sailed as deep as possible and overtook Peter just 100m before the finish. I pulled a bit more in the last meters to make it a little more comfortable win for the final run up the beach.
Starboard:How where the conditions and what were you sailing on?
Steve Allen: The wind picked up just before the start and I was fully powered on the new Severne 7.8m Reflex4, Starboard iSonic 107 and 36cm fin.
Starboard: Reports state Peter Volwater was on a 6.9, almost a square meter smaller than you, how's that?
Steve Allen: He told me that he was on a 7.1m sail and that it was an OK choice for him. I had my 7.8 Reflex4 pulled quite flat but it still felt easy and good to me.
Starboard: What does it take to be successful at these long-distance races? How is it different from a PWA slalom event?
Steve Allen: Basically as you can see from Peter winning many times, he is often on the smallest sail possible. I think it is not good to be overpowered in such a long race as it takes a lot of energy from you. Björn unfortunately found out fighting a little to hold his 8.6m sail for the whole race. Actually, I tried the 8.6 before the race and could have held it for a PWA heat but not for the whole distance of the LOC marathon.
Starboard: Do you think the long-distance race format is more suitable to be televised than PWA slalom events?
Steve Allen: I think it is great for media: one race, one winner, all fitting into a 45min time slot. We used to have some marathons in the PWA years ago and could be interesting to bring this back as it is very good for media.
Starboard: Did you specifically train for this event? How often do you do beach races (i.e. starting from the beach with your gear) and how does that differ from traditional starts?
Steve Allen: I have competed in WA a lot in the 90's where every second weekend was a slalom or marathon event always with beach starts, so I know the beach start well and like them a lot. I think it is great to watch a start like this. And you don't have any over early starters or need for a boat etc. Beach starts are like riding a bike, you never forget.
Starboard: What is your personal goal for the upcoming PWA season and what will your register?
Steve Allen: My slalom training will start in the beginning of March where I will test everything and choose my gear for the PWA season. But after borrowing this iSonic 107 and 7.8m Reflex4 for this event, rigging for the first time, putting everything just to the advised settings, going out and winning the race with the gear feeling so amazingly easy and fast, I am feeling more and more confident for the up and coming PWA events!
Starboard: How will your (voluntary!) weight gain affect your choice in gear and your performance?
Steve Allen: I actually lost a lot of weight recently and now range from 82 to 84 kg which I think is fine considering how easy the new gear is. I will try to put back on a little more weight before the season but already feel confident with my current weight.
Starboard: Finally, how does the Western Australian summer compare to the cold Polish winter?
Steve Allen: Well, less than 1 week before this event I was skiing with negative temperatures and transitioned to 29 Celsius weather in WA, so quite a shock! But the snow skiing helped to have some leg power and fitness I guess, apart from the fun!

Journal Journal: I admit it
I pretty much don't write in this.
I pretty much don't write in this.
Extremely long time since my last entry.
I've been busy, of course. Been trying to draw up a new mechanical scheme for the USB webcam mount, and have a lot of parts for the CNC:
(3) bipolar Crouzet stepper motors
(1) WinSystems LBC-586 single-board computer
(1) 510MB laptop hard disk and adapter for the SBC
(15) UDN2954 full-bridge PWM control chips
(1) long heat sink big enough for six of the power chips
(1) roto-zip style cutout tool...very high speed, we'll see if it works...was cheap
Several cables soldered up to test the single-board computer.
That SBC was a really good deal. I picked it up on eBay for about $40. This board is what controls John Carmack's Armadillo project. It has IDE, floppy, diskonchip sockets, ethernet, 4 serials, keyboard, vga, flat-panel, 48 dedicated I/O, a parallel port, and simm socket. Winsystems still sells those boards...for approximately $600. Some are still left on eBay. Pick up one up now.
I also got the full-bridge chips on eBay. A great find...they can handle up to two amps continous per coil, and 3.5 amps starting. I will need two chips per motor. The great thing is that I don't have to design a chopper circuit. When trying to run a stepper motor at high speeds, you can't just switch the rated voltage on the coil. The inductance won't allow the current to reach the rated value before you have to switch it off and move to the next step. This means that the faster it runs, the less power you get. When using a chopper circuit, the stepper coil is driven by a much higher voltage than rated. This give a very fast current risetime in the coil. When the rated current is reached, the control circuit shorts the coils, and the current recirculates until it falls below the rated current. Anyway, this is all included in the chip, so I can set the desired current with an external resistor, and the chip does the rest.
All I need now is a power supply and some minor logic for controlling the steppers. There is a retrofit CNC endmill at work, which no one ever uses. I'll try to use that to make some of the parts I'll need.
Otherwise, work is boring, and the job market is gloomy. Engineers just aren't cool anymore.
I'm watching the stock market with interest, and have been for the last year or two.
It feels like once the Dow cracks 10,000 again, I'll get a job. Maybe that's illogical. But until then, I'll keep punching out the resumes and working my temp job.
My new workbench is done, and currently the paint is drying. I have at least one more coat of black paint to put on, then I'm overcoating with polyurethane. Hopefully that will leave a nice, durable surface. It's been pretty cold, so everything needs extra time to dry.
No progress on any EE stuff since I've been building the workbench in the evenings. Once the final coat is on, I'll finish soldering the USB cam and find more parts for the CNC workcell.
I wish I had thought of this myself.
Currently, I'm rebuilding my senior project. I had boards made, and every evening, I solder on yet another fine-pitch SMD. All kinds of fun, you can imagine. I've heard rumors that surface-mount soldering can and has been done with solder paste and a toaster oven. They don't even bother painting the solder paste on each little pad, they just run a bead along the pads, squish on the part, when the solder melts it beads up and separates onto the leads and even centers the part with surface tension.
However, I'm stuck with a soldering iron, a length of wick, and my patience.
Anyway, back to the money-making idea. I was playing with my little servo camera, and Steve (guy who works next to me) suggested that I could make it available as a kit.
This makes a lot of sense. While my USB-controlled, integrated hub pan/tilt mount would require some decent manufacturing outlay to get going, a kit form of this other unit would be pretty neat.
I would have to do a little redesign...I don't expect everyone to tear apart their webcams to integrate in, and I don't expect everyone's webcam guts to be the same size and shape. I can design a C-mount screw and provide holes for custom mounts.
So...the kit would include:
(3) Cut and bent lucite parts
(2) R/C micro servos
(1) etched circuit board
(1) Socketed microcontroller and support parts
(1) Serial interface cable
(1) USB passthrough cable (maybe)
(1) CD-ROM containing source for microcontroller firmware and control application
The USB cable I'm iffy on. That would be a blatant disregard for USB standards, since the power using components don't report their existence. USB powering is pretty slick, but anything I'd sell probably would require a wall wart. Wouldn't need people calling up mad because their USB port got fried from a bad solder joint.
This is a pretty interesting idea, I will be seriously looking into it. Once my CNC machine is up, it would make production of the plastic pieces very smooth.
A robot materialized out of my junk box on Sunday afternoon, while I was wondering what to do with the guts of my old webcam.
I found two old micro R/C servos, grabbed a spare PIC16F84, and a sheet of 1/8" lucite. Added a few discrete components, thermoformed the lucite with a blowtorch, and it became a pan/tilt unit with integrated webcam.
It is controlled over a serial port, and the USB port connects to the camera and provides power for the camera, servos, and PIC.
It's pretty small, about 3" square and 4" tall. The servos provide around 180 degrees motion in pan and tilt. I wrote a control app last evening, it sends commands over a user-selected COM port, allows the user to control pan and tilt, adjust the motion increment, and send the camera to a centered position. I'll add the ability to type in "bookmarks" and assign them to servo coordinates. That way I can program all surrounding coworker's desks for quick access (as well as the door to Engineering).
I'll have to take some photos and maybe work up a little construction walkthrough. It was pretty simple to make, and with the lucite bent to form all of the parts (no gluing required!) it does look sleek.
Almost over the cold. Hope it's the last one this year...yeah right
I'm sick. Sore throat, fever, chills, the works. I paid $8.64 at the gas station for a pack of DayQuil, hope it works. I have a meeting later today to investigate guarding for the hole punch units on the presses.
Can't complain much, but some electrical engineering would be nice. AutoCAD is getting old. At least I get some decent freedom in design; we have an application that requires air-cylinder-activated rollers. The wheels were made of custom cut rubber on custom turned steel cores. I'm going to use inline skate wheels instead. A lot cheaper, available everywhere, should save maybe $60 per wheel, which is considerable when you're talking about buying 400.
Fried a robot the other night, I had some new motor control hardware soldered in, and there must have been a short. The PIC got pretty toasty. That board was too old anyway, I have enough parts to rebuild it from scratch. I'll separate the boards too, one dedicated motor control board and one processor board. I have nice setup for motor control, a GAL22V10 monitors three inputs per motor. One input is for PWM, the other two control direction. The GAL makes sure the H-bridge doesn't burn itself up by turning on two transistor on the same side of the bridge. When both inputs are active, the two bottom transistors are activated for regenerative braking. Using a GAL might be overkill, but it means I can reprogram the control scheme whenever necessary.
My eBay stepper motors are on the way, so pretty soon my CNC machine will be in development. Servos might be a better way to run a CNC machine, but I don't plan to have accurate position encoding yet.
Anyway, back to the grindstone.
I'm currently looking for an engineering position. Hopefully, the stock market's climb will have positive results down the road.
Until then, I'm just working on a few projects. I'm rebuilding my senior project (USB controlled robotic webcam mount with integrated USB hub), working on a couple of robots, and gathering parts for a 36"x24" work area CNC machine.
Should be fun.

Film & Discussion: Growing Our Future - Local to Global Food Sovereinty
In honor of Cesar Chavez's commitment to community empowerment and self determination, we are hosting a night of community education and exploration around the topic of food sovereignty--the right of peoples to define their own food and agriculture systems. Come learn about struggles for reclamation of land and strategies for regaining control of our ailing food system. We invite you to enjoy a night of film, food, and presentations about inspiring examples of community based food production, ranging from urban farmers in LA to sustainable agriculture in Nicaragua and many places in between.
- Eric Holt-Gimenez, the Executive Director of Food First will present on Food Movements Unite, food sovereignty, and the challenges and transformations of local and global food systems (www.foodfirst.org)
- Film Screening of "Save The Farm," a short 30 minute documentary about the largest urban farm in South Central LA, followed by a discussion facilitated by Sarina Sanchez, Outreach and Education Coordinator for Farm Fresh Choice (www.ecologycenter.org/ffc)
- Nicaragua Center for Community Action will talk about the campesino a campesino movement (farmer to farmer movement) in Nicaragua and their work around sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, seed banks, and anti-GMO activism (www.icasprojects.org)
Delicious local food and beverages will be served.
This event is part of the Berkeley Cesar Chavez Commemoration, which emphasizes service learning and environmental justice as the best means of honoring César Chávez and the farmworkers movement.

Is that not the same logo we have now?
Isn't that the type of helmet tannehill wears?
That would be a very minimal change after all of this. Tail is more aggressive, helmet/eyes are different. That looks to be about it.
bloody logos I dont care what they use as long as they finally pick one and everyone gets over it
I like it. Excited to see the new official logo! �@BDS2314: Ryan What do you think if my version if the new Fins logo?
fan made Logo. He just retweeted it
That's NOT the new logo, just a version that a fan of his sent him asking if he liked it. Patience fellow Fin fans, we'll see the official new logo soon ;-)
Fins Up!
I like the logo as it is and wouldnt mind if the changes were that minimal. Probably will be something different though.
From Mexico, GO PHINS GO!!!

Where I stayed
Arrived at Naxos at about 5.30 pm, got of the ship and found our lift to the hotel, the hotel owner picked us up, took about 15 mins from the port to the hotel, its very quite in Naxos at the moment, alot of hotels not open yet and some just starting to get ready for the tourist season. As it was quite we were upgraded to a bigger room, very nice.
We put our bags down and walked straight down to the beach, about 2 mins away
After watching another beautiful sunset we found a nice little place for dinner, total cost for 5 of us with drinks 42 euro, so cheap, and very nice people too, always seems to be the whole family involved in running these restaurants, nice to see.
Today we hired a car for the day 20 euro included insurance and headed off around the island.
This island is the biggest of the cycladic islands. We ended up doing over 100ks and didnt cover the whole island, but what we saw was incredible. Naxos is a lot greener than Santorini, lots of huge old olive trees, grape vines, wild flowers, cypress trees, lemon trees and stacked stone walls everywhere. We drove around up and over rocky mountains where you would see churches perched right up high on the top of these mountains, you wonder who would go to these churches and how they were built. We drove through a lot of beautiful old villages and stopped of at Dimitris temple that was built about 530 BC (see the photos)amazing.
It is a really pretty island and it is a shame that we only have a couple of days here, I wish we had more time. Oh well.

I am in the market for a new scanner.
Mainly for old photographs that i want to make digital.
I looked at the 2 new Epson printers. There was a price difference of about $100.00
But I didn't see much difference between the 2. I don't remember the model #'s
Is there a scanner out there that is recommended ?
Any input or recommendations are appreciated. MJ

I have an Epson perfection V200 photo. Cost, I think, was $99.
I like the job it does and it also can scan slides and negatives.
Hope this helps!

i have an epson stylus cx6000.. its an all in one. i have scanned several very old photos... its awesome! it even has the ability to automatically fix the colors etc on the photo...

Thats great. Thank you very much. I am now convinced to go with the epson. I dislike making these kinds of purchases without opinions from people who have them.... MJ

Mine is an Epson CX 5400 all in one. Once I figured out how to take the scanner out of Auto Mode, it scanned my photo wonderfully. This is probably a step down (or older model) than Angela mentioned. It prints out my 8x8's on premium photo matte paper just fine too.

I have a printer that I really like, I had an all in one a while ago and it was alot of work and I wasn't keen on the printouts. It was awhile ago, so I am sure they are better now. I am going to check them all out. If space becomes an issue then I may need to go to an all in one. MJ

Serves 8 to 10
Inspired by fregolatas (large, crisp Italian cookies flavored with almonds and cornmeal), this sturdy bar-cookie-disguised-as-a-tart features a tangy cranberry filling between two tender layers of almond-cornmeal shortbread.
Combine the sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water in a 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar, about 2 minutes. Add the cranberries and lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the cranberries have popped and the liquid is syrupy, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the apricot jam and simmer until the jam melts, about 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F. Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until warm and fragrant but not yet brown, about 5 minutes; let cool completely.
In a food processor (with at least a 10-cup capacity), combine the nuts with 2 Tbs. of the flour. Pulse until very fine but not powdery, 20 to 25 short pulses. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the remaining flour, the cornmeal, and salt.
In the food processor, combine the butter, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, and almond extract.
Pulse until creamy, 10 to 20 short pulses. Add the egg yolk and pulse a few times to combine. Add the dry ingredients and pulse, scraping down the sides as necessary, just until a soft dough forms, 30 to 40 short pulses. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic and divide.
Lightly coat a round 91/2 x1-inch fluted metal tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray. Press half of the dough evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Form the remaining dough into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate the dough and the tart shell until very firm, at least 30 minutes.
Prick the bottom of the tart shell all over with a fork and bake on a heavy-duty baking sheet until firm, dry, and just starting to turn golden brown around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes. The shortbread will have puffed up during baking, so use the back of a spoon to gently press down the bottom of the crust to create enough space for the cranberry filling. Spoon the filling into the tart and spread evenly.
Crumble the remaining shortbread dough over the cranberries in pebble-like pieces, covering the filling. Bake until the topping is firm and golden-brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Carefully remove the tart rim. Slide a long, flat spatula between the pastry and the pan bottom and transfer the tart to a serving platter. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if using, just before serving.
The dough disks can be refrigerated up to 2 days, wrapped tightly in 2 layers of plastic wrap.
The dough can be frozen for up to 2 weeks: Put the plastic-wrapped dough in a zip-top bag, seal, and freeze. Thaw the dough overnight in the refrigerator before proceeding with the recipe.
The finished tart can be wrapped in 2 layers of plastic wrap and stored for up to 2 days at room temperature.
The finished tart can be frozen for up to 2 weeks: Transfer it to a 10-inch cardboard cake round, wrap tightly in 2 layers of plastic wrap and then in foil, and freeze. Up to 10 hours before serving, remove the foil but not the plastic wrap from the tart and thaw at room temperature. When completely thawed, remove the plastic wrap. For freshly baked flavor, warm the tart in a 300°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely before slicing.

does submerged lighting work for plants?
im getting ready for work so excuse me for seeming scattered but since upgrading my tank size, depth has been an issue, i never upgraded my lighting , all of my plants are huddled in one spot and i keep the light directly above them, so i dont lose anything, but i am ready to expand. i have been shopping around like mad, but things are marketed a little suspiciously, and reviews are all over the place, very inconsistant.i cant seem to find much information at all on submerged lighting as it relates to plant growth.
what ive really had my eye on are some submergable led spotlights. the submergable led strips just seem to cheap to even bother with, as i know you typically get what you pay for. they are only a few watts each, the spotlights, but being focused on say, a single row of dwarf hair grass, or a bed of christmas tree moss, does that increase the potency, or the absorbable amount of light? im definitely not putting 25 spotlights into this lol. t5ho setups are a little low on my list right now. 20 bucks for a submergable led spotlight is almost underpaying in my mind, but this IS the future, and led technology has been surprising. does this all sound terrible for the plants? or could this be a nice idea? any input at all is appreciated! thanks in advance!fish are aliens
Little underwater lights are not for growing plants and not helpful for that reason. They simply light up areas in the tank for the fish at night.
The best way would be to forget about plants until you can upgrade the lighting or stick to low light plants like anubias attached to the wood and some floating plants. It makes little sense to plant a tank without proper lights to start with. You'll simply be wasting money.
I just bought a T5ho fixture online for $75. It's 48watts.. In fact I a most bought a different one that was only cv like $30 and had gotten great reviews.

hi think 2 of my female guppys are pregnant do i put them in breeding boxes to give birth or just leave in main tank
It really matters what you want to do with them. If you plan on keeping them and adding them to your selective breeding program, and keep detailed records. Yes put them in the birthing box. On the other hand, if you dont have a program setup, and just like guppies in your tank, let them drop the fry in your tank. Give them a few hiding places. Not too many. That way only a very few fry survive and you wont be overrun after a month. My last 2 drops were 36 and 28. My other friends girl just dropped 63. wow. I have 4 females myself. About 150 fry i am growing out right now. My females only see my males when mating. I have seperate tanks for females, males, fry grow out and birthing.Sherry - Mossley ON Canada

Ghost shrimp better than Rcs at breeding with guppies?
I've had Rcs for over a month in my 55g I thought even with the mass amounts of hornwort and other plants that I wouldve seen babies by now even with my guppies. I know I'm rushing the rcs but i can't help wondering if
Ghost shrimp are more ideal for my setup.
Also can they better compete for food against ramshorn snails than Rcs?
Wait a bit longer...
Given that the period the female rcs carry eggs before them hatching out is roughly a month, give or take a few days depending on params your just started on breeding. Keep in mind also that many females drop their first batch or two of eggs. Also they wouldn't breed right away unless they were mature, and even then its unlikely they'd breed for the first week or two, adult shrimp are notorious for a) not shipping well and b) taking longer to settle into a new tank than juvies.
Plus, baby shrimp are tiny and if you've got enough cover for them to hide from guppies then I doubt you'll have an easy time seeing them without tearing up the tank (which I would discourage, the whole godzilla effect scares them out of hiding where they're easier prey for the fish).
So personally id give them another couple months before counting it a failure.
Ghost shrimp go through a larval stage. Many types of ghost shrimp require brackish water to raise the young, can be a bit of chore to breed.
Stick with rcs, a lot easier to care for and breed, just add water and wait
Do you know what "saddled" and "berried" female shrimp look like? If so, have you seen either?
I checked my old records. When I got RCS, it took a month before I saw any of the females carrying eggs, and a month and a half total before I found any babies. Give it some time.300 gallon mega tank: sailfin pleco, clown loaches, silver dollars, roseline sharks, congo tetras, new world cichlids
125 gallon office tank: Africian cichlids, synodontis catfih
75 gallon community tank: bolivian rams, black skirt tetras, dwarf neon rainbowfish, corys, harlequin rasboras, otos, bristlenose and bulldog plecos, assassin snails, various shrimp
60 gallon goldfish tank: fancy goldfish

thanks for the replies guys yea i figured i was rushing things. i figured a 4ft long wall of hornwort plus a bunch of plants in front will do the trick for the shrimp babies, but with more guppies than shrimps i was (and i am still a little) afraid none of the shrimplets will make it.
i know its a little off topic but would a ghost shrimp species that breeds in fw be better at competing with ramshorn snails for food? i read they eat ramshorn snail babies and the snail control would be nice, though i wouldnt want to get rid of them entirely. so would such an arrangement be more viable than rcs and ramshorn snails?

ya i bait regularly and i keep things clean managing to keep the population fairly steady this way and i enjoy them, though i would like to drop a couple of algae wafers in without breaking it into pieces and expect the shrimp to get some, and i could do with a few less. i feel ghost shrimp might be a better fit from what i gather, just not sure if that feeling is grounded in reality :0) thanks again for the reply. oh and i have a bn for some algae control, and the rest is up to me

One very notable difference between how you train in USA vs how we train in UK, is that it seems (and I may be mistaken) that the majority of you (who are training particularly to compete) are on, or follow, some sort of "programme", which is produced by a particular trainer/kennels. In the UK, there is nothing much parallel to this (other than just a couple of 'celebrity' DVDs), and we all seem to train in a much more 'organic' (haphazard! LOL) way. Perhaps partly because the nature of our game is somewhat different.
Without diverging into picking through the whys and wherefores of what methods are 'better', can anyone tell me is there a 'programme' which doesn't involve the use of an electric collar, or force fetch? If there isn't, there isn't. But just wondered if there was.

LIGRC had a successful Fall Hunting Test. We had 73 entries and moved quickly. Lunch was provided for all and there was a dinner buffet on Saturday for all who worked. And it was a pleasure to watch a lot of good dogs. (Pinky, the toller, was quite a spitfire and I hope she returns.)
Those running Master Hunter were treated to two flyers in the last series. In addition to that the dogs were worked in a goose spread that included 6 Canada floaters and a snowgoose spread of three dozen shells, silhouettes, and rags. One veteran commented that he had never seen this before, liked it and will now train for it.

A slew of taxes just part of the ballgame for pro athletes
Pro athletes must pay cities, states in which they play road gamesApril 14, 2013 12:45 PM
It's no secret that professional athletes can earn big paychecks. But in most cities and states they visit, they leave little pieces of them behind.
When the Steelers play in Cleveland, they pay taxes to Ohio and the city of Cleveland. When the Pirates play in San Diego, they pay taxes to California.
Every time the Baltimore Ravens played at Heinz Field, Ray Lewis paid Pennsylvania and the city of Pittsburgh. In his career, Mr. Lewis contributed $18,720 to the city's coffers -- probably not enough for No. 52 to buy the allegiance of any fans in the Steel City.
These nonresident athlete taxes -- seldom collected 20 years ago -- are now significant sources of revenue for municipalities and states and can cause serious headaches for entertainers, athletes and accountants at tax time.
But while a few extra filings this time of the year are a small price to pay for salaries that can soar well into the millions, it's not just the athletes who are stuck with a complicated tax bill. Any employee who travels with the team, which includes coaches, broadcasters, equipment managers and scouts, is subject to the same tax requirements.
By the middle of the season, an employee's pay stub can't be contained on one page because of all the tax withholding from around the country.
"For equipment managers, staff members, umpires, it's probably more of a burden because they don't have as substantial pay as the athletes, but they have just as equally complex tax situations when it comes to multistate and city filings," said Andrew Wilson, senior tax analyst in the Tax Institute at H&R Block.
Among the number of returns Pirates broadcaster Tim Neverett filed this year is one for Colorado that will earn him a $3 refund, far short of the money it will cost him to file in the state.
"Everybody gets hit," he said.
Of the 24 states that house professional sports teams, 20 collect income tax on their home and visiting teams. And nearly a dozen cities, including Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Cincinnati, impose "jock taxes" and fees on teams and players to address budget shortfalls and to help pay for arenas and stadiums built with the taxpayers' wallet.
In Pittsburgh, where a Non-Resident Sports Facility Usage Fee was imposed in 2005, athletes and entertainers pour in an average of $3.7 million annually with a 3 percent fee on all income earned while performing in any venue built or maintained with public money. The teams pay the city directly and withhold the fee from their employees' paychecks.
"It's pretty successful," said city treasurer Margaret Lanier. "The city's always looking for ways to generate revenue."
And with jock taxes, cities and states can generate revenue without taxing their electorate. The Pittsburgh usage fee does not apply to any full-time city resident.
"It can be pretty crazy," said Pirates first baseman Garrett Jones. "I think every ballplayer's tax guy's brain locks up because of all the different states and all the paperwork we've got to have."
Most states that collect income tax long had provisions for nonresidents who earn money while working in those states. But it wasn't until 1991, when the state of California sent tax bills to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls after they beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals, that states began enforcing those laws on high-profile and high-income earners.
Later that year, the Illinois legislature passed a law, later dubbed "Michael Jordan's Revenge," that taxed visiting teams from California. Soon after, every state that collected income tax enforced its nonresident laws on professional sports teams.
"The fundamental underlying law for these cities and states is: If you work here, you earn here, you pay here," Mr. Wilson said, meaning anybody who works outside of their state of residency should also pay nonresident taxes. But it is much easier, and much more lucrative, for states to enforce these laws on entertainers and sports franchises because it is easy to determine where these athletes play and how much they earn.
The Tax Foundation, a pro-business think tank, and Americans for Tax Reform, a taxpayer advocacy group, oppose jock taxes and what they believe is a selective enforcement of nonresident taxes on athletes and entertainers.
The National Football League Players Association agrees.
"Our view of nonresident taxation of athletes is that they unfairly treat players differently than others who are in that jurisdiction," said NFLPA communications director Carl Francis. "They do not tax other supposedly high income earners the same way."
While many athletes take up permanent residence in states that don't collect income tax, such as Florida, Tennessee and Texas, that does not prevent a player from being taxed on his team salary. It could, though, save the player from paying taxes on endorsement deals.
Most states give credit for taxes paid elsewhere, meaning Pennsylvania loses revenue when the Penguins play in Buffalo but makes it up when the Sabres visit Consol Energy Center. The method to figure out who owes what differs in each state and municipality. While the majority of cities and states use "duty days," a measure of the total days worked in a season, as a method for determining a person's tax liability, some use game days.
What results is a tricky tax formula that is all but impossible for athletes to decipher on their own. Most athletes use accountants through their sports agencies, while individuals turn to tax experts to file.
"Even for me as a CPA, I don't feel comfortable doing our personal taxes because there are so many cities and so many states we have to file for," said Mary Catherine Melancon, who worked in auditing and is the wife of Pirates reliever Mark Melancon.
Athletes, entertainers and support staff receive dozens of W-2s in the mail each year, and the stack of tax returns for dozens of states is as thick as a phone book.
"It just seems like there could be an easier way to do it," said Mr. Melancon, now playing in his fifth major league season. "But what do I know?"Steelers - mobilehome - pirates - businessnews

One of the first ways I got involved with politics was being part of the Internet movement that supported former Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) for President back in 2008. Back then I ran the Michigan for Hagel 2008 blog and co-ran the Students for Hagel blog. Once Hagel announced he wasn't running, the group disbanded, but a few of the leaders of the movement have stayed in touch. When rumors came out that President Obama was considering Hagel for Defense Secretary, we decided to come together and ensure that the smear campaign against Hagel wasn't successful.
He has combat experience—having served in the Vietnam War as an infantry squad leader, he achieved the rank of Sergeant and was awarded multiple medals including two Purple Hearts. After leaving the military, Hagel was dedicated to helping American troops and veterans. He was appointed Deputy Administrator of the Veterans Administration, where he fought for funding for VA programs, and he served as president and CEO of the USO.
Hagel also had a successful career in the private sector, co-founding a cell phone manufacturing company and serving as CEO of American Information Systems.
In short, Hagel has the military and administrative experience needed to be America's next Secretary of Defense.
And despite the arguments made by some, Hagel's positions do generally fit with the Republican Party.
Yes, it is true that Hagel was critical of many of President George W. Bush's policies, including the Iraq War, but much of his disagreement with the Bush Administration dealt with the lack of transparency. Throughout his Senate career, Hagel fought for transparency in the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and encouraged open Congressional debate, rather than quick votes on such important issues. Isn't that at the heart of the Republican Party—encouraging open public debate instead of shady, quick votes to ram legislation through? Hagel captured this principle in saying, "To question your government is not unpatriotic—to not question your government is unpatriotic." Considering that right now, the GOP is fighting for transparency on the issues of the conflict in Libya and Benghazi, doesn't it make sense to support someone who fought for DoD transparency, from both a Republican President and a Democratic Senate? The fact that Hagel's fight for transparency transcended political boundaries is exactly the reason he's perfect for the Department of Defense. The Defense Secretary shouldn't be loyal to a party; he should be loyal to American and her national security. And Hagel has agreed with this, saying, "I took an oath of office to the Constitution, I didn't take an oath of office to my party or my president."
And labeling Hagel a liberal based on his Iraq policy is absurd. Hagel's plan for Iraq was different than both the mainstream Republican and Democratic plans at the time. Rather than withdraw as soon as possible or stay indefinitely, Hagel advocated for moving our troops out of the areas of civil war and to the borders. This would ensure that terrorists did not flee or enter the country, while leaving the Iraqis to resolve the inner conflicts, a job that they, not the U.S., were best suited for.
On the issue of Israel, he has defended "our continued commitment to Israel's defense" and acknowledged the "special and historic bond" between the U.S. and Israel. At the same time, he realizes that peace with its neighbors is the best thing for Israel.
While acknowledging that the defense budget needs to be cut, Hagel has never come out in support of across-the-board sequestration cuts. In fact, it was because of reckless Republicans in the Senate and House of Representatives that we are facing such drastic across-the-board cuts. The defense sequestration cuts would come about as a result of the Budget Control Act of 2011, which was supported by 174 House Republicans and 28 Senate Republicans. Passing such a bill to allow across-the-board cuts was reckless, and Hagel has never come out in support of sequestration; however, like many Republicans, he agrees that the Defense budget is bloated and should be cut where possible.
And Hagel supports continued sanctions against Iran and has never ruled out military action against Iran to prevent them from achieving nuclear capabilities. But as a result of his experience in Vietnam, he realizes that we shouldn't be putting our servicemen and women in harm's way unless combat is absolutely necessary. And that's a good principle that the GOP should agree with.
Does Hagel agree with every single word in the Republican platform? No; but then again, who does? In fact, he had an 84% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union. Republicans could not ask for a better nominee for Secretary of Defense from a Democratic President, and instead of hounding Hagel for disagreements in the past, Republicans should rally around him as a defender of many conservative principles and causes.
Republicans can't just oppose Hagel because they want to oppose the President. It's time to stop being the party of "No". Hagel is one of our own, and while he may lean more moderate, he'd make an excellent Secretary of Defense. It would be a shame if his nomination or confirmation was destroyed because the GOP wants to oppose Obama. There is no good reason the GOP should oppose someone like Hagel.
For those who would like to show their support for Chuck Hagel, I would encourage you to like the Facebook page that was started, and if you're on Twitter, I would encourage you to use the hashtag #SupportHagel in your tweets on the subject.
