Hmmm, you're not that far away... On height, I feel that the handle of the top brood box should be where your hand is when standing upright. I feel it's better to kneel and work if necessary, than it is to handle a heavy load at shoulder level or higher.
As far as shading is concerned- I see on average 2 Small hive beetle (SHB) per hive, per year. The pressure for problems is definitely there. I've read that shading may increase the problems associated with SHB, and that's enough for me to shy away from shading hives. My boxes are in full sun as it's a problem I don't have and don't want to get started. With screened bottoms and a top entrance/ vent, bees seem to handle the temps here just fine.
I don't get too concerned about mice as all of my hive bottoms are built to allow a 3/8inch opening. Full box width in summer, 2 inches wide in winter.
8X10 should be alright for up to 4 colonies, after that you're going to be cramped. You're not putting the pond liner in that area are you? that could make for an amusing story down the road.
We have the wild & wiley blackberrys..OWIEEE do they hurt! They make huge masses, acres & acres & if you lay boxes down you can walk on it & clear out hidey-holes in the middle, great secret camps that no one else can get into!

Betty's Faux French Chocolate Beignets Recipe
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Faux French Beignets. This is a quick and easy way to make chocolate beignets, using ordinary ingredients from your kitchen, and you don't need to be a French pastry chef to make these! I found out how to make these by watching a TV show, "Chefs of the Bluegrass," which had a segment featuring Furlongs, an upscale restaurant in Lexington, Kentucky. The theme of the restaurant is thoroughbred racing, but the style of food is Cajun. This is a great place to find wonderful jambalaya or etoufee! The owner and the chef are both from the New Orleans area, and they offered this quick recipe for beignets on the "Chefs of the Bluegrass" show, and I wanted to pass it along to you!
canned refrigerated biscuits
semisweet chocolate chips
peanut oil
confectioner's sugar
Remove regrigerated biscuits from their can. Individually, stretch each biscuit into a circle of dough. Place a few chocolate chips on the dough. Fold the dough in half, enclosing the chocolate chips. Use your fingers to pinch the edges together, so that you have a crescent of dough that completely encloses the chocolate chips. Make sure there are not holes in the dough or gaps in the edges. Meanwhile, heat about 1 inch of peanut oil in a heavy pot to 350 degrees. When the oil is hot enough, carefully place a chocolate-filled crescent into the hot oil. The dough of the crescent should sizzle. The beignet will cook very quickly. When it is brown on the bottom, let it roll over in the oil to brown the other side. When brown on both sides, remove from oil, and place on paper toweling to drain. Quickly roll the beignet in a container of confectioner's sugar to coat all over. The beignet is ready to eat! You may do several at a time and place them on a nice serving plate. They are excellent when served warm, but still great after they have cooled. Enjoy!!! –Betty 🙂

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hey! I'm a newbie zinester who likes to make minizines purely out of my photos- no text yet. I just wondered if there's anyone else who makes zines about their photos or other people's? I'd love to trade!

Hi Sophie , Im into photography and would love to trade
Im here in London , UK
MY WEBSITE is www.newseda.com
SS - The Shoe zine idea came from my site - hasanyoneseenmyshoe.blogspot.com. check it out when you get a chance. And I always wanted to put together a graffiti art zine, kind of regionalize in different parts of the US. I live outside Atlanta and there is some great work around the city.
rather old post but OMG your zine looks beautiful. Did you paste the photo prints onto the pages, or is it all printed on the same piece of paper?
Hey! Not sure if this is specifically directed at my zines, but I just print them straight from the printer double sided! Thanks for your comment!
Hey, I'm pretty much new to this whole making/trading zines too. I made a zine called 'Dead Hands' with my photos. Most of them were taken while on tour across Canada with my band back in May. You can go to www.deadhandszine.bigcartel.com to order a copy. I'm also down to trade!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Compressor Oil Consideration
Cars will forgive you when you run your oil past the recommended changeout. Compressors will not. The difference is that in addition to carrying away heat and lubrication, the oil has the added function of having to handle all of that entrained air under extreme pressure. Oxidation of the oil is inevitable, and if the oil is not changed regularly, the oil will varnish the inside of the compressor, which will inhibit the unit from cooling properly. Change your oil at a regular interval, and only use compressor oil which is made to handle this extreme temperature, pressure and air entrainment.
|I've heard to use only 30w non-detergent oil. How come I can't use, say 10w30 or just dump in some Lucas or Marvel and let it go. My compressor is an ancient refridgeration compressor fyi.
Very good advise. Something else to consider is the oil. I recently had to replace the pump on my compressor. Had I done regular maintenance, it would have likely lasted more than the 17 years it did. The new pump that I got came with very little information. It was made quite clear about one thing though. They do not use engine oil!
If the compressor is in the shop where you are doing grinding or body work, check the filter alot. Figure that the dust that you are creating, the compressor has to breathe.
Blowing out the electric motor is also important. When doing that, make sure to blow out the area where the capacitor is also. The dust will build up and cause them to short out. Been there, done that also!
|when i bought my compressor in 83 the man who builds them told me to change the oil at least every 90 days. oils cheap and i do it about once every 60 days. 7 years ago i had the pump rebuilt while we built our new building. it was working fine when i tore it down. changing oil works. so does blowing out your electric motor every morning.
Let me add a tip to this old thread, the best way to know how many hours as you compressor already worked (for example to control oil changes and such) is to put an industrial tipe hour meter between the pressure switch and the compressor electrical motor. If you wire it this way the hour meter will count only the time that the compressor is really working. This type of hour meters is quite used in many industries to control service time in machines including air compressors. And there some of this metters that sell for quite cheap (chinese crap...)
António Costa
Capri-Right on every point! Most people don't worry about maintance until something breaks and you are giving excellent advice, now lets hope everyone listens!
BTW, your English is just fine.
It´s always good to be helpfull, and I forgot to metion that there is another really important thing the air filter in your air compressor. You sould clean it regularly and change it when it's really dirt or at least once a year, especially if you have one of that filters made of foam. If clean and change you car's air filter why shouldn't you do the same to your air compressor?
My advice is to buy 2 or 3 filters for your air compressor to keep as spares, that way you won't be so lazy to go out to buy one when you see that it needs replacement.
António Costa from Portugal
P.S: sorry for my bad english
|Fast Orange
Good point-And thanks for the reminder-
I think it's been about a year since my compressor got any attention.It's one of those things we don't think about until theres a problem-take it for granted until it quits.
air compressor maintenance
Hi there!
I've been readind the threads about compressed air for a long time, and I've seen lots of questions asked and ansewered but it seems to me that some people forget to ask about the maintenance that an air compressor should have.
I don't know how its around here but in my country most people don't give any maintenaince at all to their air compressors..
The oil from you air compressor should be changed before the time set by the manufacturer wich is usully something like 300 working hours. Another thing that most people seem to forget is that the and the vibrations from an air compressor working for long time, loosens the head bolts, so it's a good idea from time to time grab a torque wrench and retorque the head bolts to the manufacturer specs.
And about the belt on belt driven compressor you should remove the guard and take a look to see if it's loosen or damaged.
I only wrote this thread because sometimes people think that the only maintenance that an air compressor needs is to be drained.
I forgot to wrote that especially on older compressors you should take a look for corrosion in the tank, and if it's and old compressor maybe the best thing to do is send the tank to be pressure tested.
Never forget that compressed air is very dangerous.
I could talk a little about pipping and such but it has already been very well covered in previous posts.
I hope that my post is usefull, and that you guys add more important things about compressor maintenance and compressed air security. Because probably I forgot to mention a lot of stuff, and I don't all the stuff and I'm always willing to learn.
António Costa from Portugal
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English

The utility simply known as make is one of the most enduring features of both Unix and other operating systems. First invented in the 1970s, make still turns up to this day as the central engine in most programming projects; it even builds the Linux kernel. In the third edition of the classic Managing Projects with GNU make, readers will learn why this utility continues to hold its top position in project build software, despite many younger competitors.The premise behind make is simple: after you change source files and want to rebuild your program or other output files, make checks timestamps to see what has changed and rebuilds just what you need, without wasting time rebuilding other files. But on top of this simple principle, make layers a rich collection of options that lets you manipulate multiple directories, build different versions of programs for different platforms, and customize your builds in other ways.This edition focuses on the GNU version of make, which has deservedly become the industry standard. GNU make contains powerful extensions that are explored in this book. It is also popular because it is free software and provides a version for almost every platform, including a version for Microsoft Windows as part of the free Cygwin project. Managing Projects with GNU make, 3rd Edition provides guidelines on meeting the needs of large, modern projects. Also added are a number of interesting advanced topics such as portability, parallelism, and use with Java.Robert Mecklenburg, author of the third edition, has used make for decades with a variety of platforms and languages. In this book he zealously lays forth how to get your builds to be as efficient as possible, reduce maintenance, avoid errors, and thoroughly understand what make is doing. Chapters on C++ and Java provide makefile entries optimized for projects in those languages. The author even includes a discussion of the makefile used to build the book.
Robert Mecklenburg began using Unix as a student in 1977 and has been programming professionally for 23 years. His make experience started in 1982 at NASA with Unix version 7. Robert received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Utah in 1991. Since then, he has worked in many fields ranging from mechanical CAD to bioinformatics, and he brings his extensive experience in C++, Java, and Lisp to bear on the problems of project management with make.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Managing Projects with GNU Make, Third Edition is a potto, a member of the loris family. A small primate native to the tropical forests of West Africa, the potto is 17 inches long and covered with dense, wooly, reddish brown fur. Its opposable thumbs give it an excellent grasp, leaving it well adapted to its life in the trees. The potto spends its days sleeping in crevices or holes in trees, emerging at night to hunt for food (insects, snails, and bats). Unlike many primates, the potto generally lives alone.

Examples do not work
By Jan Labanowski
from Columbus, OH
About Me Designer, Developer, Educator
Comments about oreilly Managing Projects with GNU Make, 3rd Edition:
The book is generally well written for an expert. However, the author assumes that it should be useful for people who want to LEARN the GNU make. Yet the example given on page 5 (sic!) does not work, since it is too complicated and requires additional software beside popular gcc and GNU make and additional include in the count_words.c source. This example requires installation of development libraries for lex that are not available on most linux workstations and cygwin installations. Moreover, how to create this "simple" example (what goes to what file) is not provided in the book, and you need to google for it. Essentially, at this point (page 5) the beginner will (and should) put the book aside. This example (count_words) is used in the book over and over again. This one thing disqualifies this book as a textbook, though it is VERY useful for the readers that already know gcc, lex and make.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Lots of errors

Good book, but there are many errors in the examples. It is actually quite comical. Overall it is still useful, but the price should be lowered to 10 bucks.

It worked for me!
By perlrtst
from New York, NY
About Me Developer, Sys Admin
A direct result of this book is that I can now understand and use GNU make in day to day work. I think that's high praise.I got the ebook version, and I'd highly recommend you do the same. It's a book you'll want to be able to search through for various keywords later, and a paper book would make that far too difficult. Feel free to get both though for the easy reading of paper the first time through, and re-gift it later :-)I've programmed for over a decade, but it's almost entirely been in interpreted languages (perl, python, php, shell, etc). Of course I've looked at other projects/languages/etc and, of course, tried to make sense of their Makefiles. I never devoted enough time to it, because I didn't really *need* it, but I was never able to grasp what the heck it was doing... until this book.The book continues to serve as my first go-to reference for make, and I frequently use it, and have been using make more and more for many things that would be far more error-prone when written in shell or perl (it's very tedious to check the return code of every command and deal with failures correctly in shell/perl/etc, but in make it's just part of it's normal operation).I highly recommend this book. That said, it's not perfect. It seems to make some compromises between being a reference (where you could look at the table of contents or index, grab the thing you want to see, and quickly go to how that thing works - it doesn't do that well, and you have to search through the book to find an appropriate example), and a teaching book (which should read well with well explained examples in a progressive nature - this book tends to refer to external things that you're just supposed to know already, and doesn't provide as many cookbook examples as I'd like).The biggest thing I feel is missing is some sort of FAQ. Something like "I'm in X situation... how do I manage to get that into the way make could use it well?". It'd be difficult to write that, since make requires you to think almost backwards from how one normally composes a solution. That mindset isn't explained in the book, but it's key to being able to effectively use make (ie. rather than starting at step 1 in a process, start at the final result and determine what things it needs, then make those and repeat).There's lots of bits I could keep complaining about, but I don't know if those changes would make a better book... if it ended up more like the make manual, I'd still be struggling to figure it out; and if it ended up like a "for dummies" book, it'd be useless as a reference.I got what I needed out of it, and that's what should be the most important factor. I took a star off because it definitely leaves room for improvement, but if you've ever struggled to make sense of a Makefile, this book can get you the understanding you need.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good and inspirating
By marzvix
from Undisclosed
Somebody complains about Flex/Bison but I thank for those references in the book. It was my first contact with those amazing thing.Chapter 6 worth to know it better.Gnu Make manual is a very good material, but this book complete it usability. Thank very much to author for sharing valuable and accessible knowledge like this.
Useful book, but could be better
By Anonymous
I have found this book useful though not as much interesting as I expected. I believe this book can be a good addition to the GNU make manual. There are certain things that are better explained in the book, but many others where the manual is superior. If you doubt whether you want to read this book then you may look at examples to see if there is something interesting in them -- something that you don't know yet.The book assumes that a reader is at least vaguely familiar with C and Lex. So when the author presents his examples, he does not stop to explain that main() is the entry point of C program or that yylex() is the main function of a scanner, which reads tokens.

A flawed but useful book
By marty
I've been using gnu make for over a decade.Everytime I read the make manual, I learn something new.This book also taught me a few things -- but there are so many typos and windowisms...If you spend a lot of effort and time writing make files, the book is useful, but for casual users the make manual is far superior.Very disappointed -- was expecting much more.

See, make is a real language.
By Richard
I'm impressed, I bought this as a aside to the standard GNU Make manual published by the FSF.This is much more useful.I don't need a inrtoductory book - I've designed and implemented multiple commercial operating system build system, I'm looking for ideas on how to build better build systems.The explanation of the kernel build system helped, and the data structures examples was truly innovative.Its interesting to see someone expose the full power of make, most are content to write minimal and naive Makefiles, or concentate on a single program - things get more "interesting" when you have a complete multiple project suite to build.

GNU Make
GNU Make by Mecklenburg is a fine example of how not to teach. On the third page the author suddenly uses the term "flex scanner" without any attempt at defining the term. You are supposed to know what it means. Actually people who are well acquainted with flex scanners will also know about GNU Make so the book is not addressed at anybody's needs. On this page he writes "Here is a program to count" etc. What follows is a most curious C program. There is a function yylex which is called but never defined. Eagerly one reads on and he shows you a scanner, an undefined entity. It looks like program code except for the %%. I have seriously (more than one year each) programmed in LISP, IBM 360-370 Assembler, PL1, Cobol, Fortran, Pascal,C and for the last 14 years C++. There is no compiler for any of these languages which would accept the symbol %%. What does it mean? After a day's study looking in vain through the whole book, in which there are frequent allusions to the flex scanner(or flex scanner generator?) I finally guess that, contrary to the author's statement, this is not program code; it is data. So what is inside the function named yylex? One still doesn'tknow. Here is a person who doesn't know how to teach; uses terms without defining them and yet gets to put out three incarnations of his book! My former high impression of O'Reilly has dropped a lot. I have bought many O'Reilly books but from now on I will be extremely careful not to wastemy money on any of them. I will make sure that I have personally and in detail looked at every alternative book. Unsurprisingly the author doesn't deign to addproblems with answers. The learning process isunfamiliar to him. Enough said.

Hey, all...
I've been hanging out, lurking around this site for several years, wishing and dreaming...
Well, I finally started my buy'ce! Using Wizard of Flight's templates (they're a huge help!)
As soon as I have access to a digital camera, I'll post pics of the construction process.
Right now, I'm cutting out templates and gluing them to manila file folders to make patterns; eventually, my bucket'll be layered in fiberglass.
Keep checkin' back for pics!

Socializing with the In-Laws' Two Dogs
My puppy will be ready next month. My in-laws have two GSD mixes that are very friendly and are adults. One is older and not very active. The other, a female, is very active. All she wants to do is play and run around. She's very friendly but super active. My in-laws don't take them anywhere except to the vet, so having the dogs meet my pup on neutral territory isn't a possibility. They have a large back yard, over an acre, that's is completely fenced. Their dogs occasionally see my other dog or my brother-in-law's dog when they visit, and there are no problems. They all just play together.
I'm not concerned with my pup being attacked; I'm more concerned with how to introduce them so my pup won't be frightened.
While I'm at it, any suggestions for introducing him to my adult male cat? We already have another dog, but the cat doesn't care for him very much. I'd rather have the two of them be comfortable with one another, if that's possible.
As far as the cat goes, make sure there are lots of escape routes and you can keep the puppy out of the litter box and cats food bowl. Right now I have a gate that keeps my puppy out of the laundry room where I keep both. The gate has a pet door (which the puppy could get thru initially but now is too big :) ) so I have to jerry-rig another gate to allow cats access but would block the puppy.
If your in-laws KNOW their dogs are friendly with other puppies, then you'd be ok out in their yard. If you want to have one adult dog at a time (or not?) that would maybe make things less confusing. I will say, if your puppy is very young (7 weeks) you will have to watch it playing with the more active older dog. It very quickly gets too rough for a youngster who has ZERO common sense. And accidently strains, sprains and broken toes can result with a limping puppy that needs to be on a leash for a few weeks.

Waimea, Hawaii Island
- Name: Waimea
- What: Scenic paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) country
- Where: Upcountry, east of the Kohala Coast
- More Info: More Info:Average temp: 62° in winter, 67° in summer
Travel east, inland from the volcanic Kohala Coast to discover Waimea (also called Kamuela), which is unlike any other place on Hawaii Island. Known as paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) country this historic area full of rolling, green pastures is still home to cattle, cowboys and ranches.
Waimea is a place where stop signs read "Whoa," instead of "Stop." This is the home of Kahua Ranch a working sheep and cattle ranch that allows you to learn about the paniolo lifestyle. Here you can explore the scenic landscapes of Waimea by horseback or ATV. Then visit An Evening at Kahua Ranch to fully experience the best of Waimea's cowboy country.
But there is more to Waimea than just paniolo. This area is now home to a thriving community. You'll find one of Hawaii Island's finest chefs at Merriman's Restaurant. Peter Merriman is three-time finalist in the prestigious James Beard Awards for Best Chef and is one of the founding members of Hawaii Regional Cuisine. You can also find the Kahilu Theatre here, a 490-seat cultural mecca on Hawaii Island featuring performances by renowned musicians, dancers and artists.
To explore the road less traveled, the Kohala Mountain Road (Highway 250) leads north from Waimea to the charming town of Hawi. Most visitors miss this beautiful drive, but it's a scenic way to get from Waimea to Hawi and the stunning Pololu Valley Lookout, which showcases breathtaking coastal views of the Hamakua Coast. But before you go, spend a day or two experiencing the great bed and breakfasts, shopping, culture and activities of Waimea.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Apr 19, 2012.
And thank you, Rasc. Even if we suck at the moment this team has some potential and the number of active members is highly correlated to how the Pistons are doing. Wiggles confirms the activity will take off as soon as the Pistons make their next playoff run. As a consultant by profession I'm obligated to add a hockey stick graph.
Thank you Rosco. It's good to know that the forum and us, as a community or just members who love this team, are in hands of a man who cares about the future of this.
Its good to hear your voice Roscoe! 2:04 home game attendance...
Nice one Roscoe. It must be a little intimidating for new members to rock up here and see 20 or so guys with over 1,000 posts, talking a bunch of jargon and personal in-house jokes and be able to get involved. You almost need a PF glossary or intro manual. But if they can stick around and get a feel then they'll definitely be rewarded. As I'm sure you're well aware, there is a direct correlation between the Pistons on-court success and the activity/personnel levels on the forum. And it's kinda cool to see who has stuck around through the bad times. We want to be there during the lows as well as the highs, so we can experience the full spectrum of emotions. We have integrity and passion and that's what make us 'true blue' Pistons fans - and so we can distance ourselves from those casual Lakers fans and bandwagoners and people who follow a player rather than a team. I personally know exactly zero other Pistons fans in Australia - it's just not the cool thing to do. So it's cool to see Panda (and a couple of others from Oz pop up from time to time). Even fans who still support team's like the Celtics or Bulls are considered somewhat adventurous or loyal here. All these things are what this place is about for me, and it will make our return to success so much more satisfying.
You kept saying 'Participate' You sound like an awesome guy, so thank you too =) - PF has pretty much become my forum of choice after such a long hiatus from Basketball. PS - I'm happy to donate money to the cause if that is what is needed. Oh and yes please to the Palace trip. Its on my bucket list
And thank you Roscoe for all your effort, it is very much appreciated. I also am looking forward to a trip to the Palace, I told my husband the other night, that is one of the first things I want to do when we retire.......
Thank YOU 'Scoe!
Go Pistons. Thank you Roscoe. Your sound's great like a professional narrator.
I agree with everything that you said... except for getting parents involved. You guys really don't want to have to read posts from my mom about why I don't visit her more often.
How hard would it be to create a link of some sort whenever someone typed a word like irregardless, escapegoat, sandbagging or Dumards that showed the background or original usage of the word in a post? I'm guessing it would be tough to find the original posts, but it might help any new folks out. We also tend to combine subjects within posts because we're familiar with the various content in them instead of starting a new thread which may make it seem to lurkers/new members that we're not discussing something that has just happened. I don't think we had a thread when Monroe made the All Rookie, for instance, and prolly put it in the thread that was created when he was drafted. This is a fine line because it is obnoxious if everyone and their mother is opening threads, but a fan of Monroe's from Georgetown who might want to continue following him as a pro might not know where to go here to discuss him. (We the Pistons fans, the Napoleon Complexed shunned small market team are courting David Stern's casual fan!) I mut have always read this thread at work because this is the first time I saw the video. That was sweet, 'Scoe. Thank you.
Well done, sir!
I don't get half the inside jokes here.
Glad to hear you're enjoying life in BC, scoe. Just from the pic it looks like an awesome place to be
I swear we used to have that. WTF = "What Tremendous Foolishness" Love the videos, Roscoe.
Oh my goodness gracious.
Well said my good friend...It's been a long time and we are still here enjoying the commentary, the community and the good old times and the struggles of our favorite sport team from all over the would as you stated. The Pf gives us chance to laugh, joke, pray and speculate about what the team did wrong and what needs to be done to improve it. Best of all it gave us a chance to cheer when we were on top and beat our chests!! Glad we can talk about other Michigan team during and during the off season, since those displaced M statesmen rarely can find people to discuss Pistons etal in their new neighborhoods. I recently joined the the forum of another team in my locality looking for what we had here and there is no contest compared to the knowledge and commentary I find here at the PF. In fact I only go there once a twice a week to comment during the time when the games are live, but here I check in everyday to see not only what is happening in Pistonland but to see what you guys are up to. Yep we like you too
Roscoe's put me in a position that most of the other team's forums were hard for me to hang around or got a good sense of feeling, instead, bias and senseless scolds were common there. He's spoiled me.
That's definitely what happens to me! lol Love this.
looooooooooooove the Canadian accent! Great vid!

This month's "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks" and Labor Day recipes coincide. Even though today's column is after Labor Day, there is still plenty of time for camping or cooking out.
Greg Milby, director of programming for WQXE in Elizabethtown, is this month's honoree. After doing a radio spot for my "Mama and Me" buffet, I was intrigued by his interest in cooking as he told me about his expertise in grilling and cooking out meals while family and friends camp.
His wife, Jennifer, and morning show "side kick," Hollie Sexton, helped pull off this surprise recognition for Greg.
Greg and Jennifer have two boys, Gavin, 11, and Garrett, 7. Greg lived in Green County until he was 9 and then moved to Louisville, where he lived until he and his family moved to Hardin County this summer.
"Greg has always been known for his incredible juicy teriyaki grilled chicken by family, friends and co-workers, but in July 2008, when we purchased a camper, his cooking skills flourished with a Dutch oven and Weber grill," Jennifer said. "After only a few outings with some wonderful friends and discovering great Dutch oven recipes like Mountain Man Breakfast, Cheesy Potatoes and Triple Chocolate Cake, "Camp-Eat-A-Lotta" was born. He and his partner in cooking crime, Scott Shake, can have at any one time three Weber grills and three Dutch ovens fired up with coals and amazing fixings in them."
Many friends and family members come together for Saturday night dinners at camp to enjoy the delicious food, she said.
Greg also is known for his pancakes, homemade ice cream and fried drop biscuits, which he has "down to a science, even with several anxious children around the table to help," Jennifer said.
"Greg loves cooking at camp and grilling (and) smoking at home. Our stomachs are definitely blessed to have him around," she said.
Asked about Greg's interest in cooking as he grew up, Jennifer said he did not cook as a teen or a newlywed other than grilling. They would laugh about spaghetti being his specialty. But, growing up, good food was always around. His father always grilled and his mother is a great cook, too.
"He also often talks about every Sunday, as a kid, the whole family gathering and eating his grandmother's homemade fried chicken," Jennifer said. "His other grandma, his mamaw, also make yummy homemade biscuits."
Congratulations, Greg, on being "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks." I want to hear more about this teriyaki grilled chicken and homemade ice cream. Maybe we can have those recipes in our end of the month feature.
Editor's Note:Ten Cup Cookies were featured in the Aug. 28 Dash of Class. The recipe was mislabled.
Mountain Man Breakfast
2 pounds sausage
2 pounds frozen hash brown potatoes
8 eggs, beaten with ¼ c. water
2 c. cheese, grated
In a 12-inch camp Dutch oven over a full bed of hot coals, fry and crumble sausage. Remove cooked sausage and drain on paper towels. Using the sausage drippings in the pan, brown potatoes and spread them evenly in bottom of camp oven. Place cooked sausage over potatoes. Pour eggs over sausage layer. Sprinkle top with cheese. Cook with 8 coals underneath and 16 on top for 20 to 25 minutes, until eggs are cooked.
Dutch Oven Potatoes
1large potato per person
½ yellow onion per person
1 to 1 ½ pounds of bacon
1 pound shredded medium cheddar cheese
Salt or seasoning salt, pepper
Cut the bacon into small squares and line the bottom of your 12-inch camp Dutch oven with them. Cook bacon until about half done and then add the onions and potatoes. Potatoes should be sliced evenly to about bite-sized and about 1/4-inch thick so that they will break up during cooking. If you want maximum potatoes per pot, heap them to the brim, as they will cook down. Salt or use a seasoning salt, such as Lawry's, and pepper, using more than you think is enough. If you like the flavor oil gives; you can add a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil. Put on the lid and place oven on a full bed of gray coals. When pot ingredients have heated up, pull a third of coals from bottom and place coals on top around edge of lid. Check the ingredients every 20 minutes or so to insure that you have at least a 1/4-inch of water in the bottom to preclude burning. Use a baster to reduce water level if needed, as too much water makes for mushy potatoes. After each check, rotate pot one half turn clockwise and the lid one half turn counter clockwise. You can turn the ingredients once or twice with a pancake turner to even all cooking and taste. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, usually about 45 minutes. If you wish, when potatoes and all are cooked, cover ingredients with shredded cheese, replace lid and set the pot off the coals for a few minutes until cheese is melted.
Easy Triple Chocolate Delight
1 chocolate cake mix plus eggs, oil and water as package directions dictate
1 12 oz. package chocolate chips
1 can chocolate frosting
Mix cake per box instructions. Add chocolate chips and mix well. Line cast iron Dutch oven with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Pour batter into oven and bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Rotate lid and oven every 10 minutes to prevent burning. Bake on medium heat using 6 coals on the bottom and 10 on top. Allow to cool and frost. Serves 8 to 10. Serve with ice cream; make it chocolate for a Quad Chocolate Delight.

|Don't know about the resort you're going to, and conditions are always iffy, but I can't imagine you won't be stoked being on a real mountain vs. indoor. Just relax, have fun and I guarantee you will get that bug and be hooked.

Either way i'm hoping the instructor will be on the lift with us to help! Been watching videos on youtube about chairlifts... they make it look really easy, but i know that it'll be completely different once i'm there haha just going to try not to think about it too much... and make sure i have the highest insurance cover haha
Thanks everyone else for the advice! am hopefully going to confirm my place on the trip this week! exciting!!
Glance down while about to unload if you must (to feel secure with your hind foot placement) but keep your eyes up and ahead in the direction you wish to go. Also, relax and breathe.
Good luck!
|It's a metal pole with a hook a the end which goes round your thigh (or in-between your legs if on skis) standing with one foot strapped in the board it tows you up by sliding on the snow. Hope that makes sense haha.
|Pima is a brand name. Does it have a strap that you put by your waist to tow you up while sliding on snow or do you sit down on a chair and ride up, not sliding on snow?
Don't sweat it too much, even if you fall coming off it won't be a big deal. You'll figure it out by the end of your first day. If you've never done a T-bar before and go anywhere that has one you can't avoid those are worse. Not sure how steep the indoor parks are you've ridden but be prepared for steeper, and muggles I don't know if y'all deal with those at indoor parks or not.
lander91 and The Deacon- Thanks will keep those tips in mind!

Seriously don't worry about the chair lifts, you'll get used to them quickly. I found it easiest as a regular rider to sit on the left, so if I had to sit down abruptly when I got off, I was already fairly out of the way. Only happened a few times, mostly when I was tired. It also helped me slow down, if I hung my heel off the edge of the board to brake, it would swing my board around to the heel edge a bit, and I could stop and skate off easier.
|Chairlifts aren't that big of a deal. Practice turning while skating on inclines so that you can control your board without relying on pivoting your back foot. When you ride off, just keep your weight on your front foot and steer normally. If you do fall, don't grab anybody, just fall gracefully and then get out of the way and get back up. The worst is when people take out their whole chair and everybody is sprawled across the ramp tangled up. Good luck!

Where you originate from? Seems like a fairly big deal to make your first time on a real mountain be a long distance trip when you've never even experienced a chair lift
Take a lesson, tell them you've never been on a lift. My first time ever my now-wife and her friend scared the shit out of me in Tahoe. They told me the lift is the hardest part (it might as well be since you don't know how to ride but you are expected to ride off). But I'm a pretty well-balanced guy.
So 3 of us get on the lift. Remember I've never even slid 2 feet on a board before. I prepare myself mentally for it. I told them, I'm going straight you guys go whereever you need to go. Get off the lift (I sit on the chair almost sideways) put the foot on and just let it rip. I sailed off without falling and those two tangle up with each other. I think in their effort to not fuck me up they just ran into each other. Was kind of funny.
There are some crazy lifts out there. In Stevens Pass when you go over to the backside on one of the peaks, last year they dump you off into a narrow corridor (I think there was some construction or maybe not I forget) where you ride what might be several hundred feet or even yards with nowhere for you to stop. Even though we're past that stage I thought for sure we were going to crash but we didn't. That steep pitch and then ramp off the lift were the craziest I've been on.

A cool mortar/ rocket launcher

I found this browsing youtube. It would be really cool too see at LL or something as a mortar or even put on its side as a tank buster. It looks really easy to make and a lot of fun. I couldnt imagine the awesomeness of a mortar attack with a couple of those on the other side of a battle field, especially at LL. The only concern could be the plastic head, but you could easily replace that with like half a nerf football.
Posted 27 April 2012 - 08:50 PM
There has been a lot of debate on the safety aspects of mortars. The rocket design would seem to lend itself a "safer" projectile than a nerf or grenade. Id like to see a vid of it impacting something it would tell a lot about if it could take a mask off with a direct hit or do any lasting damage. Sure the nose cone is an issue but you could form the foam to make a new nose. I dont know...Im half tempted to make a smalller version and stick it on the end of my Havoc and see what happens.

That thing could probably knock off a mask easily. I would definetly size it down for paintball use. I wanted to see what people thought of the concept. If it was allowed, the rockets I would use would probably be only about 2" wide and about a foot long so they are safer, and I can carry way more rockets. I would probably also hollow out half of a foam football for the rocket tip so its safe. If this was legal I can imagine a 10-15ft kill radius taking out so many people in an open field area.
Edited by TheGuy, 27 April 2012 - 09:47 PM.
Posted 27 April 2012 - 10:02 PM
Yeah that size it probably would. I guess I already had the smaller version in my head when I posted.
Most producers dont allow the use of hair spray or other flammable aerosols as a propellent. It actually would be fairly simple to mod the design to run on co2 or HPA. The only real issue would be the rockets and what would happen if one would accidently hit a player.

im working on a 3d rough model on solid edge would it be more practical to use a screw to move it up and down or colapsaqble locking legs? also would making a paintball grenade thing work like a ballon almost that you fire out of it?
Posted 30 August 2012 - 12:44 PM
Im not sure if its safe for game use but and airsoft company makes a mortar that could be used in paintball called Hades Arrow. youd probably just have to ask the field owner first but it seems like a cool little toy to play with.
Posted 07 September 2012 - 11:59 PM
Well, if you want a rocket launcher, rap4 sells one, its the panzerfaust, its pretty crazy.
Posted 08 September 2012 - 08:43 PM
I doubt making this smaller would make it any safer. In fact, I think a smaller one would be more dangerous.
Posted 09 September 2012 - 07:30 PM
Thats basically the same design that every potato gun uses, they're not very safe. I'd imagine that it would have to be changed into something that used compressed air, which would be pretty easy, and much safer.

University of St. Thomas held its 2nd Annual National SleepOut UST on Nov. 10-11. To promote awareness about homelessness in Houston, about 50 participants from the UST campus and Houston community slept outside overnight on the UST Academic Mall.
As a part of Social Justice Weekend, the objective for the SleepOut was to discover going without comfort. Participants were encouraged to bring the bare minimum, such as a sleeping bag, blanket, pillow and a notebook to document the experience.
Speaker Noah Rattler shared his experience of hiking from Houston to Los Angeles, for more than four months, to raise homelessness and hunger awareness. He also brought Alex and Lauren, a married couple who are currently homeless. Alex, an ex-marine, spoke about the reality of homelessness. Dr. Livia Bornigia, assistant professor of communication, said she thought she knew what to expect the second time doing the SleepOut, but she was wrong.
"These reflections and testimonies humbled me and made me even more committed to awareness of the horrible realities of the poor and the homeless," Bornigia said. "It rained on us during the night and we had to move by the side of the building for cover. I remember thinking that, while this was certainly a hard night for me, Alex and Lauren were sleeping peacefully next to us because, in their words, 'they were among friends and would not have to take turns staying awake to protect each other from danger.'" Joseph, "Cowboy" Benson, community outreach director at SEARCH Homeless Services, also told us his story. He was a successful owner of a catering company until a terrible car accident took his leg. This forced him to spend two and a half years in the hospital. Thirty operations later, Benson went bankrupt, lost his business and got addicted to the pain killers he was taking to manage his health problems. He ended up on the streets and remained there until the SEARCH volunteers unit found him and convinced him to seek help. Through SEARCH, he got a second chance. SEARCH Homeless Service works to engage, stabilize, educate, employ and house individuals and families who are homeless. The organization offers volunteer opportunities and programs for community members.
The morning after the SleepOut, members of the UST Social Justice Committee took leftover food downtown to friends of Alex and Lauren.
"They were nice and very grateful," Bornigia said. "Then we went to another shelter, where women and children stood outside and begged us to give them more food than what we had left. It was heartbreaking."
The SleepOut lit a fire in the student attendees and members of the SJC. The group plans to meet after the holiday season to discuss how to become more politically involved in related issues.
Groups participating in the Social Justice Weekend were the St. Thomas SJC, the Psychology Club, Psi Chi, the Society of Macrina and Students Working Against Trafficking.
Social Justice Weekend works to encourage empathy, understanding and action among community members.

I will soon be buying my first handgun, and I don't know which to buy. I have been told good reasons for each from various people. I would appreciate hearing the opinions of other members of this forum.
as most will tell you go to a indoor range and rent each one and fire a box from each. find what suits you best. then find the gun that feels good to you then BINGO
Lighter recoil
Cheaper to shoot
Holds more BBs
More powerful
If I were a new shooter, I'd get a 9mm.
I would agree with mike. I am a new shooter and I started off with a 9mm. I bought a .45 and love it, but I was recently shooting a .40 and the recoil was very pronounced more so than the .45 and it just fun for me to shoot.
The .40 S&W is by far the most superior bullet ever made. It is better than every other handgun cartridge ever. It combines substantial size bullet with enough powder to drive it home fast.
Learn to master the .40 you Luke and all other calibers will bow at your feet.
... but seriously, I do love the .40 S&W.
I say start with the .40 S&W. I find that the hysteria over the felt recoil is unfounded. I shoot .40 S&W in IPSC matches and do just fine.
I would look at, in this order, Sig P226 .40 S&W, Springfield XD .40 S&W, Walther P99 .40 S&W, and HK P2000 .40S&W.
The 9mm will do just fine, but if you're already asking the question, you'll always wonder if you need a larger caliber. .45ACP would do just fine for you, but you'll always wonder if it's too slow and if you have enough rounds.
Go .40 S&W and have peace of mind.
I would agree w/the above -- 9mm will do just fine. The 9mm is about the cheapest centerfire cartridge you can find, which will allow you to shoot more often and therefore allow you to better your skills. I've paid as little as $4.97 a box for CCI Blazer. There are also a great number of excellent cartridges made for self-defense, so you will not be under-gunned when it comes to self-protection. Most 9mm variants can also be found in .40, but there are a few models that will come only in 9 and not in 40.
At any rate, you won't go wrong with either caliber, as long as you buy a decent pistol....
I wish CCI Blazer 9mm is still $4.97. It is now $6.97 at my Wal-Mart. .40 is only $7.57 and .45 is $9.47 so I've been shooting more .40 lately.
I prefer 9mm. Range ammo cost less, and in the top end loads give up nothing to the .40SW. I'd rather have the higher capacity and faster follow-up shots that the 9mm offers.
I have a S & W, MP 40 and a S & W MP, 9mm compact and several other 9mm, 357 magnum and 45 caliber pistols. Both MP's are great pistols. I'm having a trigger job done on my MP 40 because it is such a great range gun and I want a little lighter trigger. Some 40 caliber pistols may have a sorta snappy recoil but I have no problem with recoil of the MP 40. The MP 9mm compact is almost as accurate as my full sized 40 caliber.
In somewhat of a answer to your question I would go with the 40 caliber if costs of ammo is not a issue. If you should decide to go with the 9mm there are inexpensive range loads and some very good self defense rounds. Both calibers are very good but don't let recoil be a determining factor.:smt023
I try not to let cost of ammo enter into the decision. I don't bargain shop when my life might count on the purchase.
The realistic difference between the .40 and 9mm in the defensive context is almost irrelevant. Things like mindset, gunhandling, marksmanship, and tactics matter far more than a 1mm difference in bullet diameter (or any other equipment issue). 9mm offers lighter recoil, which is better for a new shooter who is just learning marksmanship and gunhandling skills.
I just bought a .40 pistol from a forum member, and will give it a go when I get home, but I am under no illusions that it will make a real difference in a fight compared to the 9mms I carried previously. I would have bought the gun whether it was a Glock 19 or 23.
I had the same problem, but ended up with a .40S&W Glock as my first handgun. Reason why is after trying out different guns from 9mm to .50 calibers, the .40S&W was easy to handle and as accurate as heck. Also, I love the recoil on that thing, especially with Jacketed Hollow Points! Testosterone pumping.
The big plus is that after shooting the .40S&W, it strengthen my hands/arms to control a 9mm. Let's just say it's a workout caliber for a first time shooter.
Good luck with your decision.
Yep. Well said. Now all you gotta do is convince all those 1911 fans (I'm not one of them) that the 9mm is just as good as the 45 caliber.:rolleyes:
I am not a 'caliber wars' guy....I say let us all enjoy what we have....don't have a lot of experience with the .40...maybe 500 rounds shot thru them in all....borrowing from friends etc.....but I have ...for all my 40 plus years of shooting...been a 9mm fan. My first decent handgun, other than a .22, was a 9mm Browning Hi-Power and I have reloaded for them and owned many 9mm's....just a good, well mannered, and economical round to shoot...and I would never tell anyone that they were under-gunned for SD with a 9mm.
9mm or .45
.40 is the middle ground that gives you more recoil IMO
I'm of the opinion that new shooters should start out using guns that make loud noises but don't recoil very much. Once you get used to the loud "bang" and the lack of significant recoil you can move up to a heavier caliber.
However, if the first weapon you use has a heavy recoil, you may develop a recoil flinch that once it is a habit will be hard to eradicate.
For that reason I would suggest a 9mm in a full sized weapon--something like a Glock 17.
A well-placed 9mm round will stop an adversary. The ammo is relatively cheap. The recoil is light. There is a large selection of full sized weapons available. And it will serve as a range gun if you decide to get something much smaller later on.
My first choice for a beginner is a .357 Magnum with a 4" barrel and adjustable sights. Loaded with .38 Special ammo it is a light recoiling weapon. Load it with .357 later on and it is one of the most formidable of man-stopping rounds.
The revolver is easier for beginners to master and "make safe".
And revolvers are the most reliable of all hand guns.

Bird Conservation
Bald Eagle Recovery
Bald eagles nested rather commonly along Georgia's coast and in the Okefenokee Swamp up into the early part of this century, but were of only casual occurrence elsewhere in the state (Hoxie 1910, Greene et al. 1945, Burleigh 1958). In addition to the coastal region, suitable nesting habitat was probably limited primarily to major river swamps and depressional pond and wetland systems in the Coastal Plain. By the late 1950s, declines in eagle numbers had been noted and the species was no longer considered to be common (Tompkins 1958, Teal 1959). The population continued to decline to one known successful nest in 1970 on St. Catherines Island (Johnson et al. 1974), and none through most of the ensuing decade (Odom 1980) in which the bald eagle was described as a rare transient and winter resident (Denton 1977). As with eagle populations elsewhere, the mortality rate and lack of reproduction that resulted in this decline were likely the result of environmental contamination by DDT and other toxic chemicals. Habitat loss and shooting probably were also important factors.
In 1973, the same year that the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) was passed and the year after DDT use was outlawed in the United States, Georgia enacted the Endangered Wildlife Act which allowed listing and protection of rare animal species. Bald eagles were placed on Georgia's Protected Wildlife List as "endangered" in 1974. In 1979, Georgia DNR began releasing young eagles obtained from captive breeding facilities and from wild nests in states where the birds were more numerous. The initial release site was on Sapelo Island, and the program was later expanded to Butler Island and Lake Allatoona. Eighty-nine eaglets were released through 1995 but it is not known if this was a significant factor in rebuilding the nesting population.
After several years with no known nesting activity, an occupied eagle nest was discovered in 1978 on Georgia's coast and by 1981 there were two known occupied nests when reproduction was again documented. The nesting population has continued to grow and there were 82 known occupied nests in 2005 when 61 successful nests fledged 94 young. The coastal region still has the greatest density of nesting eagles, but territories are now found throughout much of the state where there is sufficient open water habitat and large trees for nesting. All known nests are monitored annually to determine occupancy, productivity, and management needs. Additional nests are discovered each year through limited aerial searches and through reports from the public. Resolution of habitat management conflicts on private property is a top priority. Recommendations based upon the federal management guidelines are adapted as suitable at each nest site in an effort to prevent harassment of the eagles that could lead to nest abandonment while also minimizing landowner restrictions.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service downlisted the bald eagle to threatened in 1995, and in 1999 proposed that it be taken off the Endangered Species List. In 2007, the bald eagle was removed from the federal list of threatened and endangered species. The species is still listed as threatened under Georgia's Endangered Wildlife Act. DNR does not have a good estimate of Georgia's eventual eagle population, but the numbers will likely increase through several more years as additional eagle pairs adapt to nesting near human activity. Avian Vacuolar Myelinopathy (AVM), a mysterious disease of the central nervous system, has resulted in the loss of eagle territories at Lake Juliette and the lower part of Clarks Hill Reservoir in recent years, and could have a devastating impact if it spreads to other sites. So far the disease has remained fairly localized.

text: The current top 4 men are Takahashi, Oda, Kozuka and Hanyu. The current top 4 ladies are Asada, Ando, Suzuki and Murakami. If Hanyu and Murakami somehow rock this season, maybe even make GPF or medal at 4CCs, is it possible for them to displace their senior countrymen on the world team? I think Takahashi and Asada (despite recent struggles) are rather safe. Oda is mentally unstable at big events and Kozuka hasn't been very consistent. I think they can both be at risk. Trouble is, neither have been geeting consistent high PCS from international judges. Ando for some reason always gets good PCS and Suzuki mostly rotates and stands up on her jumps. I think unless someone gets injured or somehow withdraws, Murakami will have a hard time making Worlds. Thoughts?

North Korea about to launch another "look at us" missile?
posted at 12:21 pm on November 27, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
You know that when international attention gets diverted for too long that North Korea will soon throw a tantrum. Reuters reported on the inevitable earlier today:
A new satellite image shows a marked increase in activity at a North Korean missile launch site, pointing to a possible long-range ballistic missile test by Pyongyang in the next three weeks, according to satellite operator DigitalGlobe Inc.
The imagery was released days after a Japanese newspaper, the Asahi Shimbun, reported that U.S. intelligence analysts had detected moves that were seen as preparation by North Korea for a long-range missile launch as early as this month.
DigitalGlobe, which provides commercial satellite imagery to the U.S. government and foreign governments, on Monday released a new image that it said showed increased activity at North Korea's Sohae (West Sea) Satellite Launch Station.
It said the imagery showed more people, trucks and other equipment at the site, a level of activity that was consistent with preparations seen before North Korea's failed April 13 rocket launch.
"Given the observed level of activity noted of a new tent, trucks, people and numerous portable fuel/oxidizer tanks, should North Korea desire, it could possibly conduct its fifth satellite launch event during the next three weeks," DigitalGlobe said in a statement accompanying the image.
Hooray! Just in time for Christmas. It's exactly the kind of present we'd expect from the Sexiest Man in The Onion World. Actually, the timing is aimed more for elections south of the border, which take place on December 19th, almost exactly three weeks from now. I'm not sure what Kim Jong-un hopes to accomplish politically with these kinds of fireworks other than produce a more hardline result, but it's not really clear that Kim Jong-un is in actual charge of anything, either.
That isn't to dismiss the security concerns of the DPRK's missile efforts. Japan and South Korea have to be very concerned that international pressure hasn't deterred Pyongyang from its muscle-flexing efforts. It's more likely that North Korea needs more food and fuel aid, especially with winter approaching, and wants to threaten everyone back to giving them concessions.

Georgia Ginseng Program
Georgia Ginseng Management Program
(PDF documents on this page require Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Ginseng Harvest Season in Georgia is Sept. 1 - Dec. 31
In 2013 there was a change in Georgia law requiring that the ginseng harvest season starts on Sept. 1, instead of on Aug. 15.
The majority of states that permit the harvest and sale of American Ginseng have established a beginning harvest date of Sept. 1. To improve consistency, reduce confusion and prevent potential illegal trade, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service urged all states to change the harvest season start date to Sept. 1.
In order to comply with the Fish and Wildlife Service's request, Georgia DNR proposed a law change during the Georgia legislative session in the winter of 2013. That proposed change passed and is now law.
Export of American Ginseng is regulated under The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, which is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The export of Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) from Georgia is authorized by this federal authority in combination with the Georgia Ginseng Protection Act of 1979, as amended in 2013.
In order to have a legal ginseng trade in Georgia, the USFWS requires Georgia to maintain a Ginseng Management Program that ensures compliance with federal and state regulations. The objective is to prevent American Ginseng from becoming endangered due to trade.
The Nongame Conservation Section administers the Georgia Ginseng Management Program, which monitors the size of the legal ginseng economy. Staff work with ginseng dealers, growers and the Wildlife Resources Division's Game Management and Law Enforcement Sections to make ginseng regulation a transparent process.
Registered Ginseng Dealer Lists
Harvesting of Ginseng is not Allowed on State Lands
Harvesting Ginseng on the National Forest
Harvesting of ginseng on federal lands is allowed with a permit in some US Forest Service Districts. For more information or to obtain a permit, please visit the USFS Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest Ginseng Page:

Fourier Transform of a "step" function
Dear Group,
I am new to Mathematica. So question might be naive.
I have a function, which is defined in this form
F(x) = a + b x + c x^2(0 < x < x0)
F(x) = 0 (x > x0)
This function is simple. However, its Fourier transform is not straightforward due to the limits of the function. I probably can do it manually, but I have a few other functions that are more complex than this one, which also requires Fourier transform. So I'd like to know if Mathematica can handle this.
If you could please shed some light on this, I would be really grateful.
Best Regards,

Yes, they did tend to get the short end of a number of bad referee decisions (notably, the penalty given to the New England Revs against Pachuca, and an awful offside call that cost Pachuca a crucial goal against the Dynamo) ... but so what? That's the way calls go on the road -- and the Mexicans knew before they joined in that all their games were to be road games.
Goalscoring has dwindled, too. Last year's 15 games saw a total of 42 goals -- nearly 3 per game. This year, so far in 14 games, we have only 32 goals. But those stats should probably not be taken too seriously because nearly a quarter of last year's goals came in one game -- the Galaxy's extraordinary 6-5 win over Dallas.
This year there is to be no international rivalry in the final. Tuesday's game (8 pm ET on TeleFutura) is an all-MLS event that features the two teams that no one wanted to see facing each other yet again. The Revs and the Dynamo. The final from hell. We've seen this before -- twice.
This is MLS Cup 2006 and 2007 revisited, and there's no one who particularly wanted to make that trip again. You can argue -- with plenty of justification -- that the match-up proves conclusively that these are the best two teams in MLS. Which is a chastening thought. That things are all in place for MLS Cup 2008 to be yet another Dynamo vs. Revs affair doesn't bear thinking about.
The problem being that both those MLS Cup finals, best teams or no best teams, were stinking awful games. Is there any chance that a third championship-game meeting between the two culprits can produce anything other than yet another grim dose of sterile non-soccer?
Very little. The law of averages, whatever that is, suggests that three yawners in a row is unlikely. And the 2007 game was marginally better than the 2006 game, so maybe things are heading in the right direction.
Beyond that, the outlook is grim. The source of most of the boring soccer, it needs to be said, is the Revs. Steve Nicol's team seems to be unable to play in an important game without virtually seizing up. I had almost convinced myself that things would be different this time, because the game is to be played on the Revs' home field, and that therefore the Revs fans would roar their team on to abandoning their costive approach. But then I recalled the 2005 MLS Cup -- which also had the Revs playing at home, but which they lost 1-0 to the Galaxy in a game that was even worse than either of the finals against Houston.
Defense seems to be the Revs' strength -- they have given up only one goal in their four Superliga games. But that doesn't quite fit. The Revs are not a defensive team, they do not sit back and play defense. They buzz busily about, they do go forward -- they just don't know how to score. So far their four 2008 Superliga games have produced only four goals, just one per game. And of those four, one came on a 97th minute penalty kick, two resulted from set plays -- and only one came from game action. All very odd -- especially when one considers that Nicol's assistant is Paul Mariner, who was a pretty good goalscorer in his playing days.
Houston has a done a lot better, scoring 10 goals. So it sounds like a battle between the Houston offense and the Revs defense -- a sure recipe for another low-scoring game.
Then again, maybe not. I have been working on the matter, and this is what I've come up with. While the absence of defensive rock Michael Parkhurst (on Olympic duty) might, on the face of things, suggest that Nicol will want to be even more cautious, I'm relying on it doing something rather different. I've decided that no Parkhurst means a shaky defense that cannot be trusted not to leak goals. That will mean that the Revs know that their usual scoring rate of one-goal-per-game will not be enough. And so the Revs will have to go looking for goals and we shall see the Revs as we've never seen them before, playing open, flowing attacking soccer ... maybe I'm getting carried away here. I'm not so sure about that last bit.
Whatever, those are my hopes for the salvation of a game that, right now, is securely positioned as one that no one in his right mind would want to waste time watching. Except that plenty of people will watch. I shall, for start. In the hope -- almost a certainty! -- that things just have to be better this time.

I have recently got my Celta, and I'm setting up private classes (for Spanish adults, all levels) starting in September. I really need some advice on coursebooks from experienced teachers. I need to buy a complete set of student and teachers' books to plan lessons, and am dithering about which to go for. As I'm self-employed, this is going to be a considerable expense, so obviously I don't want to make the wrong choice. I don't plan to stick inflexibly to any coursebooks, but feel it is important to have them as a starting point for planning lessons and courses. I'd like something where the grammar and language points are clearly set out (both from the teacher's and student's viewpoint), and where the topics are, at least potentially, stimulating.
During the Celta, we used a range of books including Macmillan Straightforward English, Inside Out, and one or two others that I forget. I like Macmillan SE, but this would involve buying the Workbooks, as well as the Teachers' and Students' book, in order to get the CD with the listening exercises on. At well over £20 per book, with 3 books per level and 6 levels...well you can do the math, as they say.
I've had a couple of students mention 'English File' favourably - any views on this, or any other suggestions gratefully received. Also, if anyone knows anywhere I could get a complete secondhand set of coursebooks, I'd be grateful.

In the August 2010 observational study sponsored by the American Society for Microbiology and the American Cleaning Institute® (formerly The Soap and Detergent Association), 85% of adults washed their hands in public restrooms, compared with 77% in 2007. The 85% total was actually the highest observed since these studies began in 1996.
In a separate telephone survey, 96% of adults say they always wash their hands in public restrooms, a percentage that has remained relatively constant over the years.
Guys Washing Better - But Don't Take Them Out to the Ballgame
Men stepped up to the sink a bit more than they have in the past when it comes to public handwashing. More than three-quarters of the guys (77%) washed their hands publicly in 2010, compared to 66% in 2007.
The guys still strike out more on handwashing in sporting venues, though. Atlanta's Turner Field stadium fielded the worst percentage for men - barely two-thirds (65%) - though that's still better than just 57% in 2007. Perhaps as a counter to the men's poor handwashing practices, Turner Field brought out the best in women's handwashing among all venues: 98%.
Overall, the rate of women washing their hands in public restrooms improved from 88% in 2007 to 93% in 2010.
First-Place Tie Between Windy City, City by the Bay
The best observed handwashing in 2010 was in Chicago and San Francisco, with 89% of adults lathering up in public restrooms. Atlanta was next (82%), followed by New York City (79%). The venue with the best overall handwashing regimen was Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry (93%).
More of Us Are Getting Behind Handwashing After Changing Diapers
In a 2010 telephone survey of 1,006 American adults, Harris Interactive's survey for ASM and ACI found the vast majority of us say we always wash our hands after using the bathroom at home (89%).
More Americans now report that they always wash their hands after changing a diaper (82%), an increase from 2007 (73%). Women are better than men at this practice: 88% of the ladies say they always wash their hands after diaper duty, compared to 80% of the guys.
Food for Thought
Those of us who say we always clean our hands before handling or eating food is staying about the same: 77% in 2010, compared to 78% in 2007. Among women, 83% say they clean their hands before touching their food; just 71% of men say they do.
And only 39% of Americans say they always wash their hands after coughing or sneezing.

Harris Interactive observed the behavior of 6,028 adults who appeared to be age 18 and older in public restrooms located at major public attractions in the U.S. and recorded whether or not they washed their hands after using the facilities. The research was conducted in four cities and at six different locations:
Observers discreetly watched and recorded whether or not adults using public restrooms washed their hands. Observers were instructed to groom themselves (comb their hair, put on make-up, etc.) while observing and to rotate bathrooms every hour or so to avoid counting repeat users more than once. Observers were also instructed to wash their hands no more than 10% of the time.
The data from the telephone survey are based on a nationally representative sample, stratified by census region and weighted by gender, education and ethnicity composure to represent the U.S. population. The 1,006 telephone interviews were conducted between August 4-8, 2010.
