I'm hunting from a shore blind on the north shore of Lake Ontario. I've been a bit frustrated watching bluebills trading and feeding along a zone probably half a mile out from shore.
I have to pack everything in a half mile on my back to a broad point I hunt on so I'm limited to two 75' gang lines. I put 12 bluebills on the inside line, and 6 buffs and 6 GE on the outside to draw birds. However I'm not getting any bluebills flying close (200-300 yards) enough to shore to decoy.
Conditions have been 40F, strong N-NW winds, rollers coming in from south breaking near shore).
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks very much for any insights or advice!

Tips on Sharing a Villa
Here are some tips to make sharing a villa with family and friends go smoothly. It's best if everyone starts with the same expectations.
1. Agree up front on how to divide up costs. We usually charge one share per adult, a half share per child and free for infants sleeping in their parents' room.
2. Agree on how the bedrooms will be chosen before you get there since some bedrooms will be larger. Our rule is that the person who found the villa gets first choice.
3. Set up a "kitty" at the outset for daily expenses such as food and gas and have everyone contribute an equal share. That way, you don't have to try to sort out who spent what at the end of the vacation.
4. Agree on what the rules are for allergens in the kitchen. We like to make sure there are no peanuts, nuts or sesame in the villa at all, but you need to plan such rules ahead of the trip.
5. Agree on a plan for the cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. Take turns so that each family gets some "nights off".
Be Prepared
We took our first trip to Europe with a child when our oldest, Kieryn, was six months old. We were supposed to fly from Ottawa through Montreal to Paris, overnight at a hotel in Paris and catch a train to the town where we had booked a car to drive to our villa. Unfortunately, our first flight to Montreal was delayed and we instead ended up rerouted to Toronto where we were to catch a morning flight to London. From London, we were to fly on to Bordeaux.
We got to London, only to find that all flights the next day were cancelled because of a computer malfunction. We had to spend another day and night in London.
Thank goodness for my sister-in-law Kendel's positive attitude: "we're on vacation and I get to do more shopping in London, woo-hoo".
Despite the stuttered start, it turned out to be our nicest European vacation to date, but I did learn that, especially when traveling with allergies, you need to both prepare for the trip and prepare food contingencies in case plans go wrong.

'Sources indicated the Sabres have asked for defensive prospect Carlo Colaiacovo in exchange for Zhitnik. But Quinn, having traded top forward prospect Brad Boyes, will likely be hesitant to part with his premier chattel along the blueline. A package of winger Darcy Tucker, a prospect other than Colaiacovo and another high draft pick could be enough to get the deal done.'

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I'm new to the AFR but even old foggies can learn. I'm learning fast.
So far I haven't been able to get it down to the lean area and still get the performance but I'm working on it.
I had 12 inches of vacuum at idle which is what Edel. told me I should have. In tuning with the Wband I found that I was going right past the point the point where the vacuum picked up. It amounted to about 1/8 turn on the idle screws. There is no other indication from the motor , just the WB starts to go up to around 13.6-13.8. Turn the screws +/- 1/8 or more and it drops at least .5 and vacuum drops 2 inches.
The next step will be to add data logging, Map and TPS. These cost about 6 pulls at the dyno shop. However I can make as many runs as I want with the data logger. So the logger will be more valuable than the dyno for now.
I think it will be really valuable when I get to the blower. Hopefully there is someone aroun dwho has done work with the AFR and blower.
I just picked up my new blower today so it will be a reality shortly.
I have the fast wide band setup that has two sensors one for each bank and have been using it to tune with for the past two years or so I will never not have a wideband setup on a carb car agian It makes it so easy if you know what to watch for
Fast just came out with a new wideband setup that uses a gauge and i think its around the 180 range Mine was 3-400 or so when i bought it
I have a edle 750 on a little 355 in my nova and by using the wideband I have been able to get highway speed low load upo to 17 to 1 with no problems and when I go wide open It settles at 12.1 give or take a .1 depending on the weather its about perfect car runs 110 in the 1/4 and gets about 22 to 24 on the highway
Just my thoughts
|Lowest emissions may be true at idle at 14.7-1 AFR, but for economy you need to be up in the 15 to 16-1 AFR at cruise. Most modern F.I. engines go this lean at highway cruise.
One reason you don't see many AFR gauges installed is that a good one with a wideband sensor will usually cost about $300 or more. This is outside the price range of most folks, unless they have deep pockets.
Edelbrock also makes a fairly cheap AFR gauge that several places sell, but it won't be as accurate as the ones that use wideband sensors. As someone else mentioned, it also probably does not use a heated sensor, so it has to mounted fairly close to the engine where the exhaust heat will keep it hot.
|I have an Innovate on my rod. I just installed it so I don't have a lot of info on . They have a great forum on their web site.
?? air/fuel mixture
Hi Tom, for best economy and smog test AFR of 14.7 is best but again you have to be careful as this will be very hot burning. I usually back off to 14.5 for everyday driving. When I want max economy I will lean it out to 14.7 but keep an eye on the AFR meter or exhaust gas temp sensors if the car has them.
|thanks so much,if anyone has more thought on this would appreciate.any brand better than others?
as a general rule, you want it at least 18 inches from the nearest exhaust port on the heads. i believe some companies say 24 inches.
a wideband O2 sensor will have a heating element so it really doesn't need exhaust heat to work properly.
it can not be installed behind the cats if you have them.
you can't have any exhaust leaks between the motor and the wideband sensor or it will throw the readings off. also you don't want an exhaust leak right behind the sensor, i feel at least 2 feet of pipe behind the sensor is enough for most motors.
one with a gage is fine, but i would recommend getting a wideband that you can also data log to a laptop with. its not the safest thing to try to watch a gage while your driving.
you can hook up a MAP sensor and RPM input and know where the motor is at during the range of acceleration and cruise by watching the log file after a run.
you can get a bung and have it welded into the pipe.
i think most people don't have a wideband because of the price, a good WB isn't exactly cheap. but they are cheaper than a cooked motor.
each motor is a little different, so the AFR thats ideal for one motor may not be optimal for another.
at WOT, its better to be a little rich than a little lean. without forced induction, starting around 12.5:1 should be ok and then work from there.
i've never messed with forced induction, so i don't know what you would want to start at with it.
Oh its a edlebrock carb , Which is probley a Carter, sorry! Anyway try turning the idle air screws in,quarter turn one side at a time, it should lean it out till the engine kills if not something else is wrong. check if there is a external float adj.
Have you adjusted the floats?, WOW just talked about this with another subscriber. On the top there is a screw with a nut, turning the screw out will lower the fuel level in the float bowl,is it a four barrel? in that case there will be two. Try dicken with that and then the idle air adjustment screws.
air/fuel mixture and air fuel gauges questions
thanks for your anticipated help im new to hotrodding and i need some help i have a 383 with an edelbrock carb 750.the car is running it seems a little rich.i was thinking of installing an air fuel gauge.The questions i have is where should i put the oxygen sensor ?how to best install it?is this a good idea?whats the ideal ratio?it seems to me that having a gauge would be great especially if i add forced induction but i dont see many cars with them wonder why thanks again

Fox's Krauthammer Pushes Myth That The Stimulus Failed
Research ››› ››› LESLIE ROSENBERG
On Special Report Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer pushed the canard that the 2009 economic stimulus has failed. Nonpartisan studies have said that the economy would be far worse today without the 2009 stimulus.
Krauthammer Falsely Claims Stimulus Bill Has Provided No Benefit To The Economy
Krauthammer: $1 Trillion Stimulus "Won't Leave A Trace". From the May 31 edition of Special Report:
SHANNON BREAM (Host): First let's start with Afghanistan, and Charles we talked about this a little bit last night: how much the cost of the war and the operations there will impact the decisions made on the ground. You know, everybody points to the defense spending and says, you know, that's something that Republicans are going to have to be willing to sacrifice on. How much will it impact what's going on?
KRAUTHAMMER: Look, this is an Administration that spent a trillion dollars on a stimulus which will not leave a trace, and now it's saying that in order to save a few billion, a fraction of a fraction of that, there are people in the White House who want to reduce the war effort.
Non-Partisan Studies Have Repeatedly Demonstrated That The Stimulus Lowered Unemployment And Boosted GDP
CBO: Stimulus Has Raised Employment By 1.2-3.3 Million. A May 2011 report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that as of the first quarter of 2011, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) lowered the unemployment rate "by between 0.6 percentage points and 1.8 percentage points," and "[i]ncreased the number of people employed by between 1.2 million and 3.3 million." [Congressional Budget Office, 5/11]
Private Analysts Estimate That Stimulus Increased Employment By 2.1 To 2.5 Million. In its fifth quarterly report on the Recovery Act, the White House Council of Economic Advisors provided the following chart showing that private forecasters estimate that, by the third quarter of 2010, the stimulus had increased employment by between 2.1 and 2.5 million:
[Council of Economic Advisors, 11/18/10]
CBO: Stimulus Raised Real GDP By 1.1-3.1 Percent. In its May 2011 report, CBO estimated that as of the first quarter 2011 the stimulus had increased real gross domestic product by "between 1.1 percent and 3.1 percent." [Congressional Budget Office, 5/11]
Private Analysts Estimate That Stimulus Increased GDP By 2.1 To 3.5 Percent. In its fifth quarterly report on ARRA, the CEA estimated that the stimulus "has raised the level of GDP as of the third quarter of 2010, relative to what it otherwise would have been, by 2.7 percent." CEA also provided a chart showing that private analysts estimate that the stimulus boosted GDP between 2.1 and 3.5 percent:

Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2010
|A new trail exists just below the north ridge on the east side to Milwaukee Pass. The east face was more exposed than we thought. See TR. I think we exited the ramp too late and got into some pretty exposed 4th class. Continued on to Asilado and UN 13020.

Date Climbed: May 29, 2006
|The "crux ledge" wasn't as scary as I'd feared, but it did make two members of our party decide to call it quits. I thought the scrambling higher up was more difficult, but maybe we were slightly off route. Regardless, it was a ton of fun. Traversed to Pico Asilado & UN 13020 (which at the time I didn't even realize was a ranked peak) before exiting the ridge down a nasty gully.

|One more trip to this fabulous peak, en route to Pico Asilado. This time we tried the Cottonwood Creek route, and I'm so glad we did! The wildflowers were *outrageous* !! I've never seen anything like it, and I've been in the San Juans and the Gores in the past week. The bluebells and monks hood are so thick there that the meadows appear blueish from 2000' above! Thank you, heavy snowpack! What a treat!
The crux ramp on Milwaukee didn't seem so bad this time. We found that only a half-dozen folks had signed the register since Erin's and my last visit! Afterward, we traversed to Pico Asilado and UN 13,020 before returning to Cottonwood Creek for the descent.

What was the level of season ticket renewals for this season?
Contrary to what a lot of people may have heard, we had less than 1,900 General Admittance season ticket holders not renewing for this season. This is higher than we've seen in recent seasons, but we do have 47,000 on the waiting list for season tickets and these tickets were sold to people on that list. There were some high up on the list who maybe hadn't budgeted for being offered a ticket for this season; hence we went further down the waiting list than the number of available tickets.
In terms of the re-location of season ticket holders, there are tiers of priority for moving seats e.g. for Medical Reasons, so there will be requests from fans to move to different parts of the stadium that we won't be able to facilitate. We obviously can't guarantee that we can offer people who want to move a better seat than the one they have already! However, we are able to sometimes deal with requests from season ticket holders who wish to sit together, if they are not too concerned where they sit.
There are other scenarios where we can deal with cases on a one-to-one basis e.g. a season ticket holder who wants to bring a junior gunner to a game, but there's currently no technical system available to do this on a substantive scale. Ticket allocation interacts with many other platforms and networks e.g. access control so it's not a simple thing to put in place.
We have just under 25,000 silver members, 76,000 Red Members, 22,000 Junior Gunners and 1,400 Disabled Members. All of our club level tickets have been taken up for this season and we have a waiting list for next season as well – so, even with recent economic climate, we've done very well in maintaining our supporter base and the sales of tickets.
Can the club explain the allocation of away tickets for Champions League games? In terms of ticket sales for champions league games, it's difficult to know when the tickets will go on sale.
For the Champion's League away game at Alkmaar, emails went out on Wednesday 2nd September, advertising that tickets will be going on sale from Friday 4th September. Our process for allocating these is they first are offered to away scheme members and then to season ticket holders and other members with high levels of credits. We had some calls on the following Monday from away scheme members stating they had missed their chance to buy these tickets. There are time constraints on when we sell these tickets - We have to put these tickets on sale far enough in advance to ensure that all appropriate travel arrangements can be made,. In terms of the communication channel, emails are not always the best way of getting information out to members (spam filters etc), so we would advice fans to regularly check Arsenal.com for ticket updates. We will look at different ways of communicating how we sell all away tickets and who we sell them to in the future.
Can we have a European Away Scheme?
We will look into this and revert.
The price of the away ticket for Villarreal was 80 Euros – which seemed excessive can the club look at potentially subsidising these prices?
The UEFA rule is that they can't charge us any more than they would for their own fans in that area. In reality, some Clubs sell mini-season tickets to their own supporters (which are considerably cheaper per game than the away ticket price that away fans are charged) but UEFA rules do not prevent them from doing this. We've stated to UEFA that we think the spirit is wrong in relation to this issue. Compounding the issue is the large decline in the relationship between the Euro/Pound. Away ticket pricing is something that is always on our radar.
In terms of subsidy, there are many groups of fans who feel that the tickets they purchase should be subsidised. In terms of away tickets, these are set by the rules described above – we have made numerous representations in the past.
We'll take a look at the difference in pricing between postal and on-line ticket applications.
In terms of our Ticket Exchange Scheme, we still feel its appropriate to provide this service internally – there are 3rd party suppliers who can administer the process for a charge, but a the time we introduced the scheme, we weren't amenable to the potential sell-on of tickets at inflated prices – instead the system we have is integrated into part of our membership offering.
How is the extended family enclosure scheme going?
It's doing reasonably well and it has allowed Red Level members to buy tickets alongside Junior Gunner members (who can buy at the concession rate). It is flexible and we're aware that the demand may not always be there, especially for home Champions League games. It is marginally more expensive in the upper tier, but Cannon Club members are also able to purchase tickets at concession prices.
How successfully does the club feel the helpline centre is working, there are stories of people still having long waits to get through.
We have recently invested in new technologies in this area. The average call wait on a non-sale day in August of this year was in seconds. It unavoidably spikes on a ticket sale day and the maximum call waiting time can be significantly longer. However, this compares favourably to previous years. We are working on ways to continue to flatten these call times, including getting flexible staff to work during mapped busy periods and we've also piloted voice recognition, but this we feel still has a way to go. There is a marked move towards on-line purchases of tickets and we have to be aware that this is likely to be the area that will see major investment in the future.
Can the club give an update on the Arsenalisation of the stadium?
The first core installation was put up over the last few days. Several of the cores are due to be fitted shortly. The large majority of the cost in developing these is in the hardware, so in years to come there is the opportunity to change the large pieces of artwork. In the lower concourse, the greatest moments are now on display – we haven't finished work on the mural as yet as we need to ensure the right materials are used. We also selected the tiled walls with a gold cannon on a red wall and these will also be up and ready in due course. We will also be putting the time-line on the wall around the stadium on the lower concourse and we will start work on this before Christmas. We're really pleased with how all the developments look and the feedback from the forum was really useful in developing these ideas. There are some time and logistical constraints on naming the quadrants but we want to involve the forum in inputting ideas for a roll-out for next season.
We will be having an internal meeting shortly to discuss how to celebrate the 125 year anniversary of Arsenal.
We still have the installation of the clock as an objective, but because of the rigging requirements there are very few windows of opportunity during the season to get this done.
Away from big matches, can the club do anything to further improve the atmosphere at games – can you think of any reward system or try out moving fans from block 6 to block 19 for a lower profile game?
Block 19 is very close to away fans, but it could be something that could be looked into, although we not sure that moving blocks of fans around the stadium is necessarily the best way of doing this. There are other things we're looking at – philosophically, we're always looking at ways to improve atmosphere.
We also need to do something about the obscene chanting both by away fans and our fans at times.
Part of the issue is that maybe fans don't identify as readily with the current crop of players as they have done in the recent past with iconic players such as Vieira or Henry – so there aren't as many songs about players as there has been in the past.
One of the challenges that we have as a club is that if we're seen as leading on these issues, they don't tend to be as effective. We helped in generating the atmosphere at the Champions League Semi-Final last year and we got great feedback about that, but ultimately success helps in generating a great atmosphere and creating a new generation of idols. In terms of the players, there is a self-reinforcing issue in that the players may not celebrate as jubilantly with fans as they feel it may not be fully supported and fans may not show their full support because of these muted celebrations. This is an area where the club could help, in suggesting to players that they show their appreciation to the fans in an organised way before the game, as they did against Portsmouth. It will also take leadership from fan groups in ensuring we can break down this cycle. For example, fan groups and blogging sites could organise a competition to come up with the best song for a player, and the club could arrange for the winner to meet the player. We also organise various events for supporters clubs as well. We have over 200,000 registered supporters, so it would be great to get some ideas from some of these fans to strengthen the player/supporter relationship.
We as fans need to be aware that there have been a lot of changes in a short space of time at this club – we've moved stadiums (which has meant a new group of fans coming regularly to the stadium), a lot of the players have changed, the organisational structure of the club has changed, so there are a few things that need to embed themselves.
We did have 3 Q&A sessions at our recent member's day and we feel this worked well and it will be something we will develop in the future. Generally, we felt the member's day this time around was an improvement on previous years. Any further Q&A sessions, would be something that could strengthen the relationship between fans and players. We regularly have players visiting charity and community projects as well as the study-support centre, soccer schools having signing sessions and so on.
We need to integrate our younger squad players into this culture of meeting and regularly interacting with fans, this will then build the fan/player relationships of the future.
The younger players on the fringes of the first team are part of the overall fan engagement process that we have. We try and keep our youth players away from the limelight as we want them concentrating on developing their footballing skills. We're looking at ways to cement these young players into the ethos of the club when they sign their first professional contract. We're in a better position than most other large clubs in terms of developing our players internally up the ranks and we feel we're developing players who have a deep affinity to Arsenal.
What's the latest position on having banners at club level?
The Gradient at Club level is not very steep, so if any banner was to be unfurled from the bottom of club level, it will impinge the view of fans at the top part of the lower tier, who may want to watch the players coming onto the pitch. If there aren't any concerns about safety in relation to having banners displayed, we will be actively supporting the development of this. We'll look at setting up a sub-group to look closely at developing this area. It might be an idea to come up with what are acceptable sizes for banners in terms of safety and we are liaising already with some fan groups on this – although there will be different sizes allowed in different parts of the stadium.. Again, we wouldn't want to prescribe in advance what could go on the banners.
Some of the speakers underneath club level can't be heard very well.
It has to be remembered that these are enhancement and not main speakers. We do have engineers regularly checking them and we are aware that there are some spots where the output may not be heard very clearly.
Can the club ensure that fans chanting obscenely are removed from the stadium?
We have a policy that if we can clearly identify people mis-behaving or chanting obscenities, then we will take appropriate action, as we have done numerous times in the past .
Does the scenario of fans leaving early upset the players?
It does and we have to be honest and state that it's a problem we've had (although there are similar issues at other clubs) for a while. Thierry Henry stated on numerous occasions in the past that it upset him to see fans leaving early – the problem appears more stark now as we have a much larger stadium. We are aware that to some extent this is because people need to catch trains etc
There is a cultural change in how fans interact with the game they're watching - You can see at matches that fans don't always pay the game 100% attention and are using their mobile phones etc.
As a club we're not going to be able to stop these and other cultural changes taking place. We're going to be more imaginative in allowing fans to interact electronically in terms of what's happening at a game and use these new technologies to help engage with people. If you think back even just 7/8 years, fans didn't used to interact with each other via community sites/blogs etc and I'm sure most fans at least occasionally log into these.
About the club in general, I've been identifying areas where we've needed to strengthen our management team to ensure that the massive potential that has come from all the changes over the last few years is fully realised. Trevor Saving has been brought on board to improve internal operations and also how we interact with our fans. That includes constantly reviewing who the face of Arsenal is, especially on match day; this covers stewards, Delaware North (the Caterers) etc – we'll be looking at how we can improve fans interaction with this front-facing part of Arsenal.
We've also recently hired Tom Fox on the commercial side. He is one of the best regarded Sports Marketers in the United States and has experience with Nike and the NBA in the Far East (Tom speaks Mandarin). We also have a new General Counsel, Svenja Geissmar, who'll be starting on Monday. In addition, Dick Law will assist Arsène and me in managing our player contracts proactively and strategically.
We will be announcing our results shortly – I can confirm that the club is in a very strong financial position and the Board is continuing with its policy of re-investing all money generated for the benefit of the club – again none of the money the club makes will be paid out in dividends. In terms of spending on players, we have bought 2 players recently (Arshavin & Vermaelen) who Arsène has identified as being essential parts in the development of the team.
Any rudimentary cost benefit analysis of how you develop your team will show that expenditure on transfers is a very inefficient way of improving a squad. Of course, there are times when you must invest through transfer spending – when you have to because don't have internal talent resources and must import them or when there is an exceptional talent that adds significant value to the squad. But importing players is relatively expensive and provides competitors with funds. Not surprisingly, therefore, although there is a strong correlation between salary spending and performance, analysis shows that there is almost no correlation between transfer spending and performance. Despite this, the media will talk only about transfer spending in the transfer window as the only indicator of success or ambition. This is a very simplistic view.
We have invested in our player pool in two ways in recent months – through two significant acquisitions in Arshavin and Vermaelen and through investment in extending (to date) eight first team player contracts. Our strategy has been to develop our talent internally, to build rather than to buy. However, that's not to say that we won't buy players if Arsène thinks they will be a valuable asset to have. We as a board regularly have meetings with Arsène about player development and potential signings. As you will see from the financial results, we do have money available, but Arsène will act responsibly and will not spend money just because it is available. He will spend on transfer fees only if there is someone available in the market who he believes will make a strong, positive contribution. We are a public company so we publish our accounts to the world and everyone can see for themselves what our financial position is.
The Board has been very clear in its strategy in that it wants to continue to be self-sustainable and maintain the traditions that Arsenal has and, to my knowledge, all of the major shareholders who are not currently on the Board share that view.
It seems very likely that Highbury Square will deliver a profit to this club – because of the ring-fenced nature of the contracts, it cannot affect the club negatively – although how much that profit will be and when it will be delivered will depend on the property market over the forthcoming months. Importantly, keeping the Highbury Square development under club control has allowed us to maintain the heritage and history of the club in the development (e.g. the Marble Halls have been preserved for posterity).
In terms of share ownership, they haven't been many changes since we last spoke about this. All the directors who are shareholders are in a closed period and cannot buy shares until the accounts are released. We are in discussions with AST about setting up a share save scheme whereby fans can buy partial shares.
There is a wider existential question in football at the moment in terms of how clubs interact with fans and questions around the philosophy behind this interaction. We believe the connection between fans as a community united by a common tradition, vision and set of values is at the heart of what makes a club great and that simply winning trophies, while always important, is not enough by itself. We believe that, by keeping the club on a stable financial footing that does not rely on outside funding for its continued existence, we can be very successful, not only in the near term but in the long term.

Use with brown sugar...
You can also use a slice of fresh bread in brown sugar to keep it moist. Also, if it has already hardened, it can soften it up again.
I've baked my own whole-grain bread for more than 40 years (the kind food writers call "rustic"). I don't think I've ever bought a loaf of bread.
Yet store-bought white bread somehow occasionally puts in an appearance here, and I will say it serves a number of surprising household uses that don't involve consuming it. Almost worth keeping a loaf on hand in the freezer.
Make a poultice. Soaking a piece of bread in hot milk is a renowned folk remedy for bringing an unripe boil or pimple to a head. Press the excess liquid from the bread, spread it over the affected area, and cover with a clean cloth. Remove when the bread poultice gets cold. Repeat as necessary.
Remove splinters and stings. Soak a piece of bread in cool milk, press out the milk, and apply the bread to the affected area, and bind it with a band-aid or a piece of duct tape for a few hours or overnight.
Prevent tears while cutting onions. Spear a piece of stale bread with your knife and slide it up to the end of the blade near the handle.The bread absorbs most of the "vapors."
Collect slivers of broken glass. Reach for a chunk of soft bread after you've swept and vacuumed the big shards of a broken glass, and use it to pat down the area to collect those tiny slivers that remain. Wear rubber gloves; dispose of the bread in the trash when you've finished.
Clean a coffee grinder. Pinch off a three or four small pieces of stale bread, grind them up in your grinder, dump the crumbs, and wipe the inside of the grinder clean.
Clean oily fingerprints from photos. Ball up a slice of stale bread and swipe gently.
Smudges, crayon, or pencil marks from walls. In a pinch, a ball of stale bread can work. Rub gently—one direction only.
Butter corn on the cob Spread butter on a slice of bread and rub or wrap it around the steaming hot cob. No mess, no wasted butter.
Soften brown sugar, cookies, and other baked goods. Just add a slice of bread to the sugar or baked goods and seal in a metal canister or ceramic jar.
Prevent strong cooking odors. Remove the smell (and most of the taste) from scorched food by adding a slice of bread to the pot and covering it for a few minutes. Likewise, adding a piece of bread on top of broccoli, cabbage, or other strong veggies as they steam will keep the odors from escaping into the kitchen air.
Remove grease. When cooking greasy foods, add a chunk or two of bread to the pan or boiler pan to absorb the grease.

Obamacare does not result in job cuts!
Early last week, as I put the finishing touches on my report, "Obamacare: Outsourcing opportunities in revenue cycle management", a social media group member put out a request for recommendations on medical coding certification programs'. On checking out, the member came highly recommended and worked in the US healthcare industry for several years, but had been recently laid off. The post echoes the sentiment among experienced healthcare professionals who have either lost their jobs (due to medical technology) or are looking to move into the highly lucrative coding and billing industry.

Scientists who study living things organize them into categories based on their relationships. Early classification systems were based simply on how things look. Now scientists focus on genetics, cellular make-up and other more specific things when they classify creatures.
Classification systems include big groups that are subdivided into smaller groups. Here's one way classification might work using cars as an example:
Imagine it's the year 2525. A planet similar to Earth has recently been found in a newly identified solar system in another galaxy. We have sent a space probe with a molecular transport beam to this planet to beam back a variety of different living creatures. Scientists examine the structure of each of these creatures and realize that they need to create a classification scheme to help them compare the alien life forms to each other and discover how they might be related.
The lead scientist sends you illustrations of the organisms and asks you to help develop this classification system. Your role is to study the illustrations and come up with a possible classification scheme based on the information provided about each organism. You'll be asked to explain to the scientific team how and why you organized the creatures this way. Print out these pages and follow the directions to do this activity at home. When you're done, come back to this page to test your newfound knowledge by answering the questions below. (No fair peeking at the answers before you do the activity!)
Note: This activity will take 30 minutes to 1 hour.
You'll Need:
Note: Be careful handling sharp scissors.
What To Do:
1. Click on the link above for critter cards pages. Print out each page and cut out the cards. Keep the last four cards separate from the others.
2. Study all the cards except the last four, noting similarities and differences among the creatures. Create a table on your paper to help organize what you see. You might have columns to describe bristles, antennae, eyes, etc. You might want to number your cards to help keep track of which you're describing.
3. Now put the cards (except the four you've kept separate) into groups based on the similarities and/or differences you see. Each group should include creatures that have something in common. Now create a new table, listing the traits common to each group you've made.
4. Choose one of the cards from the four you've kept separate. This is a picture of a creature was just beamed back by the space probe and sent to you by the lead scientist. You need to decide where it fits in the group system you've just created. Do you need to make a new group for this creature or can you find some way to fit it into one of your existing groups?
5. Write a brief paragraph explaining your classification scheme, how it works and how easy or hard it is to fit new creatures into it.
This experiment is based on an activity developed by the National Association of Biology Teachers.

|Myah's Mom
Tile floors and a good vacuum. We own two: a Miele heavy duty vacuum for the thorough jobs and a lightweight, Eureka upright battery powered one we keep charged in the closet for quick and easy Fur Patrol on a daily basis for the downstairs (where guests are).
Good food for the dog helps, too. Olive oil and flax in their quality kibble, is what we do.
|Taz's Mom
|Thanks Onyx girl he was a lot younger then I need to update my profile pic.
|thats why puppies are so cute! So the shedding when they are older is forgiven. Your's in your profile pic is just adorable!
|I keep up with the place the best I can. As for friends/family, I simply tell them, if you don't like or can't deal with my dogs, stay at a motel. This is my home and they're my dogs and that makes it their home.[GET OVER IT!!!
|Taz's Mom
|I was thinking that is what someone was probably going to tell me. I will enjoy it while it last.
|5 months is too young to start shedding...the pup is still getting in the adult coat. If anything, you may see some of the puppy coat coming out, but that usually turns into the undercoat and doesn't really shed out. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
|Taz's Mom
|Maybe I need to knock on wood before saying this lol, but my boy turned 5 months on the April 21 and he really does not shed that much, I see a few hairs every now and then on the wood floor but that's all. I am very OCD over my house though so maybe I just clean so much I don't notice. I have had a golden retriever in the past he would shed way more than my GSD does. Hopefully it stays this way.
I love this for quick clean ups, very cheap($20) and I use vinegar water in it. It can be found in most stores. I bought extra pads/they launder up great. Reveal Spray Mop | Spray Mopping | Mops | Microfiber | Rubbermaid
|Well, I had this whole nice paragraph typed up and lost the blasted thing when my connectivity hiccuped here at the house. Yes, I keep a decently clean house, spotless it's not, and never will be. I've never been a meticulous house keeper. I have too much to do, too many interests, and life is just too short to sweat the small stuff. I have it down pretty well to a science after over 25 years with multiple dogs in the house at all times. When I built this house I just moved into in December, hardwood or tile everywhere, I insisted! I have one room with carpet and it's my upstairs game room and it's off limits to pups. They don't even go up the stairs to the room. I sweep/mop good once a week and dust then too, use a small carry around shop vac instead of a dust pan and I can hit the baseboards with that too on a weekly basis. I have all their food and water bowls on risers or on a rug, so that helps with sloppy lips. A swiffer takes care of the rest. I keep a basket with puppy towels at each exterior door so I can quickly wipe down a wet pup coming in from a walk. Swiffers are my best friend outside of my dogs and hubby. I can swipe muddy pup paws up very easily. I have several of them strategically placed around the house. The dogs get groomed once a month, more often if shedding heavily and less in the winter months. The girls have their own beds in our bedroom and in the living room and my office. They also have their own bedroom with their crates when they need quiet time. It's rare they ever sleep in their room but it's there when we need it. They mostly use that when we are away and the alarm is on. And most important, I accept that there will be an occasional tumbleweed blowing thru. Since they stay inside unless I'm out with them, they stay pretty clean. That is except when my Flat Coat Retriever goes to the mail box with Daddy and wanders off in the woods and finds the dead squirrel stash to roll in. Then it's immediate shower time!
Very easy for me.
I feed raw, I supplement with Feedsentials, I use the K9 Force dryer on him almost daily, and I vacuum often. We have tile all through the house.
I do find it easier here in Florida because there is no mud.

After much campaigning, junior communication studies students Natalie Moses and Amish Patel have officially earned their positions in the Undergraduate Student Government (USG). Both students attribute their successful campaigns to their experiences in communication studies and their involvement on campus.
Moses is the new senator of the College of Communication and Information (CCI). She is majoring in applied communication with a double minor in media literacy and public relations. As senator of CCI, Moses' job is to represent the voice of all CCI students. One of her many responsibilities is to keep scholarships objective and make sure all undergraduate students have equal opportunities through the student government. Moses felt that she is a good fit for this position because she is an effective communicator and can relate to any CCI student. "I have a good understanding of the overall interests of CCI," said Moses.
Patel is now the executive director of USG. His position involves being the spokesperson for the students, acting as liaison between the university administration, Board of Trustees and the USG, creating programs and initiatives to enrich the lives of Kent State University students, and much more. Within in the past two years, he has held positions such as director of student involvement and director of communications. Patel's passion for Kent State is what drives his involvement with student government. "I want to give back to a school that has given me so much," said Patel, "When I saw the opportunity to make things come full circle and further improve the university, I knew it was my time."
Both Moses and Patel agree that their experiences within CCI have contributed to their campaign success. Moses felt that skills she learned in advertising, visual design and public relations helped her while putting together her campaign. "The High Impact Professional Speaking class really helped me to be a confident speaker," she added. Moses also noted her experience studying abroad in London as significant to her campaigning. "Working closely with Michelle Ewing and Dr. Danielle Coombs gave me advertising and public relations insight that taught me how to campaign," Moses said. Moses is also very involved in student media, which she said keeps her up to date on what is happening on campus.
Patel said that holding multiple positions for Phi Delta Theta fraternity is what started his involvement on Kent's campus. "My involvement in my fraternity has given me countless real-world experience and it has provided an amazing platform to network with," said Patel. He was further introduced to the Greek Community and various aspects of the university as a result. Patel has been involved with different organizations such as Focus on the Future, Black United Students, Distinguished Undergraduates and more. Patel said that the remarkable insight he gained about student life is what ultimately made him want to share his experience with the rest of Kent State. "As a communication studies student, I knew I wanted to change how USG reached students and presented information," said Patel.
Both Moses and Patel want Kent State students to be more aware of what is happening on their campus and encourage them to get more involved with student government. "As much as this can be a boring thing for students to hear about, current legislation really affects students and their ability to be successful students and future professionals," said Patel. Moses suggested that students attend the public USG meetings every other Wednesday, at 5 p.m., in the Governance Chambers, to see what is currently happening and pitch their ideas. Moses wants students to know that USG "is not an unapproachable thing."
Moses and Patel both stressed the significance of USG's Student Allocations Funding opportunities as something for students to take advantage of. Students and organizations are able to request funds to go on conferences that pertain to their major. "This is an amazing way for students to get real world experience and network with professionals across the country," said Patel.
Patel encourages students to "follow a passion and get involved on campus! Plain and simple." Applications and more information can be found in the USG office and online at usg.kent.edu.

Get the Orange San Diego FREE with an Orange deal >
It feels a bit strange to turn on a phone and see the Intel Inside logo pop up, but that's exactly what happens when you power up the Orange San Diego. The first phone to arrive in the UK with Intel's new Atom mobile chip beating at its heart, the Orange San Diego has turned its back on the ARM-based processors that are usually found in Android handsets. Despite having a relatively high specification – a 4.0-inch screen, HDMI output and an 8-megapixel camera – the phone is actually very affordable, as you can buy it for £200 on Pay As You Go or get it for free on a £15.50 a month contract. So, is it worth considering if you're on the hunt for an low-cost, but powerful Android handset?
Orange San Diego - Design
The Orange San Diego is a child of many mothers. The phone is based on an Intel design; it was manufactured by Gigabyte; and is branded by Orange in the UK. However, the same phone is available under different names including the Intel AZ210, XOLO X900 and the Megafon Mint.
The San Diego's design is pretty ordinary in a lot of ways. The front is finished in the usual glossy black, with a tiny meshed speaker grill covering the ear piece and four touch buttons at the bottom of the screen for the back, menu, home and search functions. The rear has a slightly rubberised finish that makes it feel quite grippy, but the camera mounting protrudes slightly from the back, so it doesn't look as neat as it would if it sat completely flush with the casing.
There's a silver band running around the outer edge of the phone, but it looks a little heavy on the plastic, which is a shame. Like the Apple iPhone 4S, the Orange San Diego features a one piece design, so you can't remove the battery and it doesn't have a user-accessible SD card slot (it actually does have one under the battery cover, but you need to dismantle the phone to get at it). This means you're stuck with the phone's, admittedly fairly generous, 16GB of built-in memory.
The Orange San Deigo takes a micro SIM card and this slots into a pop out tray on the right hand edge. As you would expect, there's a power/lock button at the top and a volume rocker switch on the right hand side. However, there's also a dedicated camera button on the bottom of the right hand edge, which is something that you don't see often enough on Android phones. Holding down the camera button takes you directly to the camera app. However, unlike on Windows Phone handset, you can't launch the camera app in this way directly from standby.
Along with the headphone jack on the top edge and microUSB port at the bottom, there's also a miniHDMI port on the left hand side, which is a great feature to have on a phone in this price range.
Orange San Diego - Screen
The screen on the Orange San Diego is one of the better ones we've seen on a £200 handset. At 4.0-inches in size it's large enough to give you that extra bit of screen space without making the phone feel overly bulky when you're holding it in your hand. What's more, the resolution is also good at 1204 x 600 pixels, so webpages, text, icons and movies look sharp with nice crisp edges. It's not the brightest display we've seen and colours aren't quite as vibrant as you get on some high-end handsets, but for a £200 phone we think it's about as good as you'll get today.
Orange San Diego - Specs
Of course the big different between the Orange San Diego and other Android phones is that it uses Intel's new mobile Atom chip. This is a single core chip that's clocked at 1.6GHz, with the handset also playing host to 1GB of RAM too. Intel reckons it's first smartphone chip is powerful enough to challenge most dual-core ARM chips. That's a bold claim, but one that's backed up to a fair degree by the phone's performance, especially when it comes to web browsing.
Performing exceptionally well for a phone in its price range when it came to the benchmark tests that we chucked at it. For example, in Sunspider it scored 1389.6ms, while in Browsermark it rocketed to a score of 115512. Both of which are pretty rapid for a £200 handset. In the Linpack test, which measures processor performance, it scored 84.672 Mflops for the multithreaded test, and its graphics performance isn't half bad either as in the GLBenchmark it managed to achieve 35fps in the Classic Egyptian test.
Of course, benchmarks can tell one story while day-to-day performance can tell another. However, in the case of the San Diego the phone does actually feel quite speedy to use and it really is very fast when it comes to rendering web pages, which is, of course, one of the main uses we put our phones to these days.
Despite this we did run up against a few issues when using the handset. The biggest problem is app compatibility. Because the phone uses an Atom rather than ARM processor, some apps that have been coded specifically for ARM won't run properly on it. Intel claims that it has successfully tested around 70 per cent of apps in Google Play, but that still leaves a question mark over nearly a third of them. Certainly we ran into a few instances where apps refused to work. On the gaming front both Raging Thunder 1 and 2 started up but would then force close. Temple Run isn't supported and neither is the BBC iPlayer app (although as Flash is supported you can watch shows via the iPlayer website). We also found that popular video players such as the MX Player and BSPlayer only worked in software mode leading to choppy, unwatchable videos. The x86 binary version of MoboPlayer worked to some degree, but video was limited to a small window and we couldn't get any sound from it.
Orange San Diego - OS
Disappointingly the Orange San Diego runs Android V2.3 (Gingerbread) rather than Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Orange does plan to release an ICS update for the phone, but there's currently no word on when this will arrive.
The good news, however, is that Orange hasn't overly customised the phone's user interface, so essentially it looks very much like standard Android except with the icons having been given the Orange once over. You're given five homescreens to play with and tapping the home button twice shows you an overview of all five on a single screen. Orange has also added some widgets including a HTC Sense-style clock, weather widget and one that shows your handset's status including the mobile signal strength, battery life remaining, free storage space and any Wi-Fi networks you're connected to. A selection of Orange apps including Orange Wednesdays for the carrier's 2for1 cinema deals also feature. More interesting is Orange Gestures app. It allows you to draw shapes on the screen to quickly launch apps, dial contacts, send SMS message and more.
Orange San Diego - Camera
When it comes to getting snappy, you'll find that the phone has a front facing camera with a 1.3-megapixel resolution as well as the main 8-megapixel camera on the handset's rear. The rear camera is pretty advanced for a phone in this price range, hosting the ability to shoot 1080p Full HD video with a special burst mode featuring to fire off ten successive snaps in under a second. The camera app is a little bit slow to load, though, and despite the impressive camera specs the results turn out to be a bit mediocre. There's a lot of blurring on movement in 1080p videos and photos lack that extra bit of sharpness to make them stand out from the pack.
Battery life during our test period seemed to be pretty good and perhaps slightly better than many dual-core Android phone's we've tested. At a stretch, with moderate usage, we could get a day and a half to two days out of it. The phone also seemed to have very good reception both with mobile signals and Wi-Fi. The GPS chip was consistently very fast at getting a lock on our position, too. It's also worth noting that the phone does support NFC, although as it isn't running ICS the Android Beam app isn't available.
Orange San Diego - Verdict
Whilst it is a shame the Orange San Diego currently uses the dated, Android 2.3 version of Google's OS and that buyers are likely to run up against some compatibility issues with certain apps, this is still a very impressive handset. With its price the key selling point, there are simply no other Android phones costing £200 that can offer this level of performance or such an abundance of features.

Hello Augusta folks,
I moved to Augusta a year and a half ago for medical school. It has destroyed my ability to get in the woods. However, my second year has opened up a little bit of time and I was wondering if I could partner up with any of you and do some duck hunting in January. I can throw in a case/30 rack of beer or we can work something out. I would love to meet some of you and maybe learn the ropes a little. I know there is a good bit of public land to hunt on. This agreement will come with the understanding that I will steer clear of your territory following heading out with you. Please let me know. This would be greatly appreciated. I could use the outlet.
Also, on another note, I have a 2 year old chocolate lab that I am getting groomed for the hunt. He shows amazing promise and has a ton of drive. I am looking for a place in the CSRA area where I can buy some pigeons/quail to train with. Please let me know if you know of anywhere. Thanks everybody and hopefully I'll get a chance to meet some of you before too long.

I have decided I am not going to be cheap when it comes to the helmet. I want a good looking bucket so I am not going to be cheap about it. I will be buying a bobamaker bucket and an airbrush set.
To those more familiar with what is good and what isn't is there anything else you would suggest when creating really good helmet? I take it airbrush is the best way to go?
After deciding to do a Boba Fett suite and becoming a member of this board I am now obsessed with it. Look what you guys have done to me! :lol

The January transfer window saw more Arsenal starlets go out on loan. Jay Simpson moved to West Brom and Reserve team captain Gavin Hoyte has joined Watford. Fellow reserve-teamers Rui Fonte, Henri Lansbury and Paul Rodgers have also departed for Crystal Palace, Scunthorpe United and Northampton Town respectively.
They join the existing loanees Armand Traore, Nacer Barazite, James Dunne, Kerrea Gilbert and Abu Ogogo away with other English clubs.
Overseas, the Gunners have players in Italy, Spain and Holland. Philippe Senderos, who has made 115 appearances for the Gunners, is spending the season with Serie A giants AC Milan. Pedro Botelho is away with Spanish Segunda Division outfit UD Salamanca while Vincent van den Berg is out on his second loan spell in as many years, this time with FC Zwolle of the Eerste Divisie in Holland.
Jay Simpson
Hull City 2-2 West Brom
Saturday, January 31.
Jay capped a fine afternoon's work with a 53rd-minute strike as West Brom picked up a priceless away point at Hull. Bernard Mendy had stroked the Tigers ahead a minute before the break but Simpson swooped after 53 minutes to draw his side level. Mendy turned provider midway through the second half when Craig Fagan headed past Scott Carson to make it 2-1. But the lead would only last four minutes as Robert Koren was felled in the box and Chris Brunt made no mistake from 12 yards.
Armand Traore
Fulham 3-1 Portsmouth
Saturday, January 31.
Armand managed 63 minutes of Portsmouth's defeat at Fulham before being replaced by John Utaka. The Frenchman started on the left of Tony Adams' midfield but got little joy throughout. Andrew Johnson opened the scoring after only 14 minutes, slotting home after Clint Dempsey's through-ball. Traore had already departed when Erik Nevland struck twice within nine minutes to put the result beyond doubt. Substitute David Nugent headed Pompey's consolation six minutes from time. It is now five defeats in six Premier League games for the south-coast club.
Nacer Barazite
Derby 2-1 Coventry
Saturday, January 31.
Nacer played 62 minutes as Derby's home win lifted them out of the Championship drop zone. The Dutchman started in his usual right-wing berth and was replaced by Mile Sterjovski. Rob Hulse headed Derby into the lead after 14 minutes and Kris Commons doubled the advantage within 120 seconds. Michael Doyle did halve the arrears after 53 minutes but the Rams held on to claim the first three points of Nigel Clough's reign.
Gavin Hoyte
Wolves 3-1 Watford
Saturday, January 31.
Gavin played 58 minutes of Watford's defeat at league leaders Wolves. The youngster started at right back for the Hornets and was replaced by Lee Williamson. Sylvain Ebanks-Blake put the home side ahead from close range after 23 minutes before Andy Keogh doubled the advantage just after the hour mark. Adrian Mariappa pulled one back for Watford but the comeback was not to be and Sam Vokes made it three in injury time.
Rui fonte
Crystal Palace 0-1 Blackpool
Saturday, January 31.
Rui Fonte made his Crystal Palace debut, coming on as a substitute at half time of their 1-0 defeat against Blackpool. Despite Blackpool being reduced to 10 men after three minutes, DJ Campbell struck four minutes before the break to condemn the Eagles to their fourth straight defeat. Rui went close to an equaliser late on but his goal-bound drive was blocked.
Kerrea Gilbert
Northampton 1-2 Leicester City
Saturday, January 31.
Another week, another 90 minutes in a Leicester victory for Kerrea. This time the Foxes came from behind to record a 2-1 victory at Northampton Town courtesy of a goal in each half. However, it wasn't all plain sailing for Gilbert, as he put into his own net after 16 minutes. Steve Howard restored parity when he converted a 21st-minute penalty. In-form winger Lloyd Dyer was on hand to convert a Tom Cleverly cross after 73 minutes to secure all three points. There was no Paul Rodgers in the Cobblers' squad because of suspension.
Abu Ogogo
Exeter 2-1 Barnet
Saturday, January 31.
Abu was an unused sub as Barnet went down 2-1 at Exeter after Paul Jones saved a last-minute penalty for the home side. Neil Saunders had handed Exeter the lead with a spectacular 40-yard volley before veteran striker Paul Furlong levelled matters on the stroke of half time. Matt Gill edged the hosts ahead and despite the late penalty, Exeter held on for victory.
Philippe Senderos
Lazio 0-3 AC Milan
Sunday, February 1.
Philippe played all 90 minutes of the Rossoneri's comfortable victory at Lazio. Alexandre Pato struck just before half time and Massimo Ambrosini made it two after 47 minutes. Kaka provided the icing on the cake seven minutes from time. The victory cements Milan in second place in Serie A and they are now only six points behind arch-rivals Internazionale.
Pedro Botelho
Alaves 1-1 UD Salamanca
Sunday, February 1.
Pedro completed the whole game as Salamanca conceded a last-minute equaliser against relegation-threatened Alaves. Miku looked to have secured all three points when he pounced 15 minutes from time but defender Bustillo Cesar ensured a share of the spoils with his last-gasp strike. After leading the way for much of the early season, Los Charros are now down to seventh in Segunda Division, and are without a win in five.

Dynamic Memory on the T3DIn the past two weeks we have had two users who ran into the inflexible wall of limited memory on the T3D. One user was using the 'automatic array' feature of cf77. With this feature a user can dynamically allocate an array during a subroutine call. A typical example is:
example 1
program main n = 1000000 call sub( n ) end subroutine sub( n ) real a( n ) ... endDuring the call to the subroutine 'sub' the array of 1 million reals has been allocated at the beginning and is released at the end. The extra storage is implemented with a call to the heap manager.
Another example of dynamically allocating space is opening a file. Usually each file I/O operation does not cause a physical disk operation. Each I/O file has buffers associated with it and these buffers accumulate changes to the file and only when the buffer has accumulated enough changes are these changes effected with physical disk operations. Here is a typical example:
example 2
program io open( 10, access=direct, recl=4096 ) ... endFrom the description of direct unformatted I/O given in the man page for assign command, we know that this open requires 4 buffers of length 4096 bytes. And of course, these buffers are not allocated until the open is executed.
On the T3D when a job is running and tries to allocate more memory than is available then something has got to give. Usually the process running on the PE that reaches this error condition first will abort and then the user gets a register dump and a mppcore file. Sometimes there is a descriptive error message but for these two users last week there was none.
Recompiling for a debug run and running under totalview provides a traceback of where the programs had aborted. A routine called alloc was the tip off that there were memory problems. For the user using the automatic arrays, the solution was to print out how much storage was requested, see than it was more than physically available and then break the problem into pieces that could fit in the available memory.
For the user with I/O buffers that put him over the limit, it was possible to use the hpalloc routine and its returned error messages to determine how much memory was available. With this number and the knowledge that a direct access file requires 4 times the length of a record in buffer the solution was something like:
call asnunit( 10, '-u 2', ier ) print *, ier open( 10, access='direct', recl=nrecl, iostat=ios ) print *, iosThe asunit function is used to open the file with only 2 buffers instead of the default of 4.
List of Differences Between T3D and Y-MPThe current list of differences between the T3D and the Y-MP is:
- Data type sizes are not the same (Newsletter #5)
- Uninitialized variables are different (Newsletter #6)
- The effect of the -a static compiler switch (Newsletter #7)
- There is no GETENV on the T3D (Newsletter #8)
- Missing routine SMACH on T3D (Newsletter #9)
- Different Arithmetics (Newsletter #9)
- Different clock granularities for gettimeofday (Newsletter #11)
- Restrictions on record length for direct I/O files (Newsletter #19)
- Implied DO loop is not "vectorized" on the T3D (Newsletter #20)
- Missing Linpack and Eispack routines in libsci (Newsletter #25)
- F90 manual for Y-MP, no manual for T3D (Newsletter #31)
- RANF() and its manpage differ between machines (Newsletter #37)
- CRAY2IEG is available only on the Y-MP (Newsletter #40)
- Missing sort routines on the T3D (Newsletter #41)

Best shirt ever. The people who are over reacting about the animal cruelty present in the shirt don't seem to realize the difference between a shirt that says "Hey you should totally blend baby chickens!" and one that plays up the absurdity and morbid humor inherent in a fictional child implying harm to fictional animals.
jeez I wonder how traumatized you guys were by tinytoons . . . .

Unless I'm mistaken, THEY WERE A CARTOON FIRST, THEY WERE A CARTOON FIRST, THEY WERE A CARTOON FIRST. Or maybe a comic. Either way, they didn't originate in video games.
Hah. Really? You know, I've been fairly interested in the entire ramyb drama-saga on Shirt.Woot. There have been some interesting debates here and there. "Bwah, we hates the turtles." And, "No, we loves the cutey-cute." And, "Stop breakin' the rules." And, "Don't be a hater." I just chalked it up to a guy drawing what he likes, and the internet responding with it's usual opinion war.
But this really is ridiculous. This week, I call troll. It seems to me that you're just trying to light fires and tick people off now, while you sit back and enjoy being fought over by the obsessed. I guess if I garnered the kind of funds that you do from Woot, I could pick up trolling as a hobby, too.
In any case, this design really misses the mark on being clever and falls right into being disturbing. Woot announces "Science Fair" as the theme and poisoning turtles like an unsupervised, TMNT-obsessed child is the first place you go? Says a bit about you, doesn't it.
Defend it all you like. In the end, you're still the dude who drew dead turtles and justified it as art. A~w, but they're cute, so it's ok.
In an alternative history, two child prodigies in the field of steam robotics found themselves tied for first
place in their 4th grade science faire. Little did they know that this would be the first of many battles
as the two grew up. Battle of great heroism and villainy. Great battles of STEAM!
Mr. Debris took a break this week from coloring, so Drak did it all.
Thanks as always everyone.
Re: theraphosidae ver 2
I really like the design!
Woot rejects entries where the big design doesn't match the design on the shirt, so you need to change it so the colors are the same both places and resubmit it.
Better to fix it and resub now than wait until Woot gets around to rejecting it on Monday- that way you can keep the votes you get over the weekend.
Re: Minor Modifications
I have to admit that hand-on-heart I really liked this when I saw it.
I don't care that the pluto thing is massively over-done - I do care that the shirt isn't very on-topic.
I care most that the shirt is by ramy, however, and so will never get a vote from me.

I thought you were a better artist than that and I still don't see the relevance to a science fair.
No go ESPECIALLY when you're designing for a MIDDLE SCHOOL science fair!

Er, a lot of artist use a more natural shirt template instead of the official woot one. Woot doesn't reject for it unless the colors don't match. Shrug.

Well said. If people can't appreciate the brilliant comic execution (no pun intended) of this shirt, I don't know what to say.
If this prints, I can't decide if I'm going to be more ashamed of Woot, or of humanity in general for voting it there. I own a ramy shirt, I enjoy it, but this piss-taking is getting out of hand.

As with any feeder that has bees in it, you have to pour syrup in very slowly to not drown the bees.
Quote from: Michael Bush on August 24, 2007, 08:10:55 AMAs with any feeder that has bees in it, you have to pour syrup in very slowly to not drown the bees. I personal dont like feeders like that, this is the type feeder I use and they work fine and not hard to build, this picture is from my buddies site, Dwight Porter, me him and fatbeeman use this type feeder, it only holds about a quart for nuc's
CWBEES the up side about fondant i think is that the bees dont have to break cluster to get the food set it directly on top bars and bees remain in cluster while food is consumed understanding winter cluster is one of the keys to success even in cali we get cold snaps that can be a real set back RDY-B

Thursday 15th September 2011
Return air travel tends to be the norm when it comes to our various ventures into Europe and consequently that often includes those tedious waits in airport departure lounges. This is often when I write my latest thoughts.
Our latest trip however, involved a road trip in a nine-seater with yours truly at the wheel. Me tapping away on my handset while rolling through Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France yesterday made writing pretty much impossible (and totally illegal of course!)
It has given me time to reflect on what was yet another fantasticaly entertaining trip off the pitch while yielding a result on it that I think pretty much all of us would have taken before a ball was kicked.
It all started early on Monday morning when we picked up our hired transport for the trip, headed through Kent and the Eurotunnel before a simple and quick journey along the E40 all the way from Calais to Cologne.
A city I am fond of, it did feel kind of strange to be back so quickly after our pre-season weekender back in July and the same venues that proved so popular on that trip were enjoyed once more, even if they were understandably quieter given it was a Monday night!
After a successful way to start proceedings we then took the short drive up to Dortmund to enjoy the pre-match entertainment on offer.
Our hotel's location, literally 400 yards from the away end, proved extremely convenient as within minutes of arriving we were taking in the quite fantastic hospitality in one of the Fan Parks next to the stadium.
Big TV screens, music and oodles of refreshment of both the liquid and solid variety were thoroughly enjoyed among the always friendly and welcoming host supporters.
The stadium was noisy and colourful as expected but I felt we played extremely well under considerable pressure. Dortmund had plenty of possession but other than one or two moments we defended superbly limiting them to no more than half-chances.
And when a chance to break came our way didn't RVP bury it?! A cracking finish from Theo's fine through-ball and one corner of the Signal Iduna Park went crazy.
Again we defended extremely well in the second half and Gerv was extremely close to doubling our lead with another break.
It was always going to take something special or unusual to level things up and unfortunately this happened. The chap who scored is unlikely to ever get one like that again so although we have to applaud the strike, we couldn't help but feel a little unlucky.
Still, a draw is an excellent result out there and we were only a few moments from going one better. For me that has to bode well as we go forward.
The late goal certainly didn't change the mood as we enjoyed the after-match fare, that's for sure!
Back to our bread and butter next as we take the long trip north to Blackburn.
To be honest, I don't exepect it to be any easier than Tuesday.
Come on you mighty reds!

re;opening a body shop
Where are you in fl? Be careful,don't make too much sense or the pc cops will come sniffing. Tom
Opening a Body Shop
I was thinking of maybe getting together with some of the other bodyshop owners on this forum and having us share with the new up and coming shop owners or those who want to open there own shops. IE like lessons learned, what works, and what sure doesn't work. Everyone is encouraged to share there lessons learned.
here is a couple of mine.
Having SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) will make your shop be procedure dependent and not person dependent. Example: a shop who relies on his painter in stead of procedures is just asking for trouble. If that painter that he relies on so heavly just ends up quiting then the shop is at a stop. Now if that same shop was procedure dependent, then those new applicants you could call in, hand them a SOP and grade them.
Learn to schedule. I worked at a shop who couldn't schedule to save it's life. I was always getting the this car has to be delievered tomarrow and it hasn't even been started, but has been sitting in the back for 3wks. Schedule and keep to it.
Having your paint booth make you money when it's not even being used. At the end of the day when your about to close down and you have a small job needed to be painted, go ahead and let that painter paint it. Let it cure overnight without the heat. This way your booth is making you money and it's not using it.
Order and receive all your parts before you even begin to work on the next project.
Get toats or storage boxes with lids, put your parts in them instead of the car. I've got a storage rack with 3 toats per stall. I've also have got bags labled Right Door , Left door, ect.
Anyone else want to jump in because I could go all day.
