I had promised the story of Hundele (which means perrito in German).
Well Liz my wife always wanted a dog and I always said no, won't work. We travel too much – we can't and should not take on this responsibility. But after moving in our new lovely house I started to like the idea and would have liked to have a Golden Retriever. But who knows if we would have ever gotten a dog.
One day – I think it was the 19th of April I left my house for a late lunch break. I walked about 1,5 kilometers and on the way back I noticed something standing behind me. I turned round and saw a cute little Puppy German Shepherded mix. I did not touch the dog but said "Hallo Hundele" – Hello little dog which was enough for him to follow me. I noticed that the dog is following me so I turned round with him to see if I could find out where he comes from…… I could not.
Hundele followed me home. At home I was not 100% sure what to do but though, well lets give him some food and if he wants let him stay the knight. Tomorrow we will look for his real parents.
That is the first picture I sent to my wife from my phone on the day we found the dog:
The next day I printed posters to put on the trees near our home and set out to put them up with the really shy puppy who would not let us touch him (!) I was able to put a leash on him which my wife purchased the knight before. I asked her for it as I needed a way to handle this "guest". I managed to get the leash on him but he would not walk. There was absolutely no chance he would walk. Hmmmmm. Well I could not (or did not want to) leave him inside the house and from the garden he could escape. So what did I do…? I carried him. He was so scared, so shy, so vulnerable. I talked to him, in English, in German and in Spanish – but one thing was consistent. I always called him "Hundele" which is why we kept the name.
I told my wife that this is not our dog and for sure someone will find him. Please don't get attached to him. We went to the nearby Vet and asked him if someone had asked for a poor little German Shepherded. They searched their Computer since they have different branches in the zone but said – negative…. We asked for a quick check and the Vet told us that he really hopes we do not find the parents. (ouch..) He said I can see this dog has a better home with you. He is extremely shy and very dirty (mainly inside his ears).
After nobody replied to the notices at the vet, the posters in the streets, a call to Las Condes Security (which someone told us to do if you find a dog) and a few post in the world wide web we started to realize that Hundele was the new part of our family and we were extremely happy for this.
Since we knew he would one day be a big dog and we did not know anything of his past we wanted to train him and called a dog trainer. Hundele had six lessons in his first six weeks with us and I spent a lot of time with him – since I work from home and fell in love with him.
He is now a really good dog – see here a video we made of part of our training.
He is now part of our family. At first I said it was a garden dog only and he has no right to enter the house…. Guess what he is allowed to do now… Yes, you are right… he sleeps on top of our bed in the evenings and the mornings, not @ night though… 🙂
Here are some of my favourite pictures of him:

The mature height and size of a fruit tree is determined mainly by the rootstock. However the natural vigour of the chosen variety (the scion vigour), the quality of the soil, and the local climate all have a significant effect. The fruit tree height estimator on this page uses a formula to relate all these factors - not just the rootstock - to predict the mature height of your fruit tree.
Please note this tool is experimental and may not be accurate.
How big will my fruit tree grow?
Enter your local soil and climate details below, along with the rootstock and vigour of the fruit tree variety you want to grow.
Factors affecting the mature height of a fruit tree
For a detailed explanation of the factors used in this calculator, see our article on the mature height and size of fruit trees.
The formula for the tree height calculator was developed by N.Buck. Use this calculator at your own risk, the results are experimental. We do not accept responsibility for errors or adverse occurrences related to the use of this calculator. We may also update the calculations from time to time.

Like the other teams, this list is going to be based for the most part off of who had the best seasons in the league. Age will play a small factor, as a guy with a very good season at a younger age may get the spot over a guy with a slightly better season who was a bit older.
Outfield – Justin Green
Green hit .303/.387/.444 for Kannapolis with 17 steals before earning a promotion to the Carolina League.
Relief Pitcher – Dan Remenowsky
Remenowsky had a 1.99 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and a 44.1% strikeout rate to go along with a 6.5% walk rate for Kannapolis.

Funny story, a little sad, but funny! So Curtis and Kinsley got all dressed up to the nines for Kinsley's 3rd Annual Daddy/Daughter Dance. Let me preface this by saying this is an event she looks forward to EVERY year! She talks about it the whole year, anticipates it, reminds us as its getting closer, loves to get dolled up, can't wait for the big day, etc....
So...they head on up to our community center, dressed up, hair fixed, nails and toes painted, roses from Curt to Kins - the works...only to find out the Daddy/Daughter Dance was...the....week...before. Kinsley was such a good sport and didn't get too upset. Curtis was a trooper and took her out for a date anyway to Chili's to get dessert. Way to go Dad! Better luck next year!
Here's some pics of past Daddy/Daughter Dances:)

Coffee shop with Spanish twist to open in Stamford
Owner 'obsessed' with churros: Pastries on menu with lunch items, premium American coffee
Inspired by sugar-dusted memories of eating churros during her childhood in Spain, Stamford resident Leyla Dam will soon bring the chocolate-dipped treats to the city, with a sturdy cup of coffee on the side. Lorca, Dam's coffee shop venture, is set to open on Bedford Street in mid-December.
Dam has been "really obsessed" with churros since she was a child, she said, and wants Lorca to represent a blend of Spanish and American cultures. While the pastries are native to Spain and Latin America, the coffee, shipped from Handsome Coffee Roasters in Los Angeles, is pure American. Lorca will offer a menu of other pastries and lunch food provided by the nearby Station Eats.
"When I decided to bring churros to Fairfield County, I went back to Spain to learn how to make them," Dam said. "There's a huge culture around churros in Spain. It's very much like late-night diner food here."
Any coffee place opening in downtown Stamford, or perhaps anywhere in the country, will have to contend with Starbucks and its ubiquitous mermaid-stamped cups. However, Dam, who previously worked as a barista at Darien's Espresso Neat, said the type of coffee she will serve is more artisanal, and she thinks the community atmosphere of a local hangout will appeal to customers.
"Starbucks has made a niche, but I think people like the feel of somewhere local," Dam said. "Customers want to support businesses that aren't large chains."
In this venture, Dam is a self-described "one-woman band," and Lorca is very much a homegrown effort, put together by Dam and a handful of employees, family and friends. Her brother, Cris Dam, and a friend, Mark Andreas, are building the furniture and creating a mural for the shop's wall. Even the name itself comes from her original home, inspired by Dam's favorite writer, the Spanish poet and dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca, who grew up around Grenada, the same town in southern Spain where Dam was born.
"I'm new to this, I have investors, but it's a family endeavor," Dam said.
She leased the space on Bedford Street, next to James Daniel Music & Entertainment, after nearly a year and a half of looking.
"I'd love to draw the young professionals around here," Dam said. " It's nice to have a place to have a cup of coffee, and sit around and chat. The neighborhood is young, it's diverse and it's changing so much."
To be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Lorca will seek to draw both crack-of-dawn coffee addicts and the after-dinner crowd, as well as customers just looking for somewhere to hang out for the afternoon. This variety of clientele, plus the fact that few breakfast and pastry places are open on Bedford Street, could mean good business for a coffee shop, said Jack Condlin, president of the Stamford Chamber of Commerce.
"It's a street that traditionally used to have a lot of great breakfast places and luncheonettes," Condlin said. "I think a coffee shop, producing pastries, will provide that niche."

The following guest blog offers insight into why fighting over the reduced cost-of-living-adjustment for military retirees was important for all veterans and servicemembers.
Why Getting the COLA Provision Repealed Was So ImportantBy Lou Celli, legislative director of The American Legion Veterans service organizations have been around for over 100 years . You could almost say that we were the first organized unions, looking out for the bargaining rights of veterans who have dedicated at least some portion of their lives toward protecting the interests and values of our country. Our veterans have recognized since the time of the American Revolution that military members and veterans who have served our nation do so as contracted employees of our federal government. In that contract, our government makes promises to servicemembers in return for their commitment to defend America. This is why getting Congress to repeal cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) cuts to military pensioners was so important. Uncle Sam had promised those benefits to every man and woman serving in the military. Suddenly, Capitol Hill decided it was "okay" to reduce COLA benefits by one percent per year for a decade. Unacceptable. The American Legion loudly protested against the COLA cuts and immediately went to work in the halls of Congress to dismantle this legislative train wreck and return those benefits to the ones who earned them. When President Obama signed the COLA repeal on Feb. 15, he acknowledged the promise made to every retired veteran and removed the threat of financial hardship for hundreds of thousands of military retirees (for example, a retired sergeant first class stood to lose about $72,000 in pension payments) Individuals join the U.S. military with the understanding that they are entering into a profession of arms, under contract and with all that the Uniformed Code of Military Justice commands. That contract -- that sacred vow between the servicemember and the nation he or she defends -- is a commitment to a life of service unlike any other. That same contract is also an agreement between the servicemember and the government that the supporting United States Federal Code of Regulations (U.S.C.) in place at the time of enlistment or commissioning, provides the legal foundation upon which the contract is written, agreed upon and signed. Our members expect The American Legion's national leadership to represent their best interests when dealing with legislative issues. While we have always done so with an eye toward fiscal responsibility, we also make sure that lawmakers recognize their responsibility to honor their commitment: To support and defend the veterans of this nation and their families -- too many of whom have paid a price far greater than any Congress will ever be able to repay. Click here to see a chronology of the "COLA wars."

Bank of America wants to put a new face on your retirement—literally.
The company's Merrill Edge unit recently released a new app that shows users how they will look decades in the future.
The tool digitally ages a picture of the user and shows them a series of renderings of their future self at various ages, concluding with a photo of how they might look after age 100.
To reinforce the message that the user will get old one day, the app then flickers back and forth between the current photo and the aged photo.
Next to the aged photos are messages about how much the cost of living will increase by the time you reach a given age, and the expected prices for milk, bread, gas, utilities, and other consumer items you are likely to need.
In the bottom right-hand corner, Bank of America makes its pitch about saving in its Merrill Edge IRA for retirement. But you aren't required to hand over any personal information or even your email address to use the tool. "Our goal is to engage those 18 to 34 who have not yet started thinking about retirement and get them engaged as soon as possible," says Alok Prasad, head of Merrill Edge.
"We tried to use this aging tool to kind of bring a little bit of humor and fun into a tough topic and get individuals thinking about their future selves."
[Read: What People Who Live to 100 Have in Common.]
Merrill Edge says more than 250,000 people used the face retirement app to create aged photos of themselves in the month after it launched. And about 10 percent of those users shared their aged photo on Facebook with their friends.
When April Kessler, 42, a business librarian in Austin, first tried the face retirement tool she invited her colleagues into her office to look at it. "We all joked it was going to make us save for plastic surgery," she says. "I decided I need a little more sleep and possibly I need to start moisturizing more."
But she also went back to look at the aged photo again later. "It's a gimmick for sure, but it does make you think about it," she says. "It is a reminder that you are going to get older and you do have to plan for the future."
Some experts say the tool is not likely to have an immediate impact on retirement savings, but the experience of seeing your future self could be recalled later when you make 401(k) or IRA decisions. "It's not like somebody goes on there and then happens to read one of their statistics about what you will need and calls their bank the same day," says Kit Yarrow, a consumer-research psychologist at Golden Gate University and coauthor of Gen BuY: How Tweens, Teens, and Twenty-Somethings Are Revolutionizing Retail, who is not affiliated with the tool.
"It may not inspire someone to pick up the phone right away, but I think it builds a relationship." And if you begin to think of yourself as someone who will grow old one day, it could change your behavior at a key moment. "It's hard to image that you are ever going to get there when you are 18," says Yarrow. "Getting someone to visualize and imagine themselves in that position is a major benefit of this campaign."
[Read: 8 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Save for Retirement.]
The face retirement tool is based on a series of experiments conducted at Stanford University and published in the Journal of Marketing Research in 2011, which found that people who view age-progressed photos of themselves often consider allocating more money to retirement accounts.
For example, in one of the studies, 50 people were shown an aged or current picture of themselves and then asked to allocate a hypothetical $1,000 among four choices: a checking account, a fun and extravagant occasion, a retirement fund, or buying something nice for someone special. Participants who viewed the aged photo said they would put significantly more in the retirement account ($172) then those who viewed a current photo ($80).
How effective the tool is at getting you to increase your retirement contributions may depend on your attitude when you use it. "If they see it via Facebook, I'm not sure someone is going to change their 401(k) contributions," says Hal Hershfield, an assistant professor in the marketing department at New York University's Stern School of Business, and coauthor of the original marketing research.
"If, on the other hand, they are actually in the mindset of trying to get more information about retirement, I think this could have a measurable impact on the types of decisions that they make."
[Read: 10 Ways to Get Ready for Retirement in 2013.]
Erica Agran, 41, of Chicago, shared a photo of herself at age 57 produced by the face retirement app on her blog, Erica Finds. "It got me interested and thinking about my retirement number and when I can retire," says Agran, who already maxes out her 401(k). "I think the fact that they went out so far into the future when you are 107 years old makes it more like a novelty and something harder to take seriously."
Agran isn't convinced that the app produced a realistic representation of what she will look like in old age. "It seems to sag your face a lot, but your hair doesn't change," she says. "My mom doesn't look like that, so I'm pretty sure I won't either."

The $1 billion electric rate-relief package that Illinois lawmakers approved this week contains not only savings for consumers but also an expected boon to the state's growing wind-farm industry.
The $1 billion electric rate-relief package that Illinois lawmakers approved this week contains not only savings for consumers but also an expected boon to the state's growing wind-farm industry.
A provision of the bill that passed the House and Senate on Thursday requires utility companies to get increasing shares of their power supplies from renewable sources, especially wind turbines. The green threshold would start at 2 percent next year and would gradually increase to 25 percent by 2025, according to lawmakers and other proponents familiar with the details.
Utilities previously agreed to voluntary goals, but environmental advocates have been pushing for binding requirements with penalties for companies that don't comply.
"It's a terrific victory," said state Sen. Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, a sponsor of the legislation. "We need to make sure it's not just a paper victory. We need to make sure that as it's implemented, it's done so fully and enthusiastically."
Illinois has seen a number of wind turbines constructed over the past few years in rural areas, and a massive "wind farm" is being completed in McLean County. Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, said the environmentally friendly method of power generation should help stabilize electric rates by supplementing traditional sources of electricity.
"Especially with the wind, once you get the (generator) up and operating, there's no variable to the cost," she said Friday. "That can take out some of the volatility of the cost of fossil fuels."
Most notably, the bill sent this week to Gov. Rod Blagojevich would provide financial relief, including rebates and credits, to Illinois consumers who experienced sticker shock this year after a decade-long freeze on electric rates expired. The state's major power companies, including the Illinois Ameren utilities, agreed to the package after weeks of negotiations with lawmakers.
Harmon said a renewable-energy component became part of the deal early on.
"This is a good-faith effort, and we're going to do what we can to meet the targets that are set out," said Shelley Epstein, a spokesman for the Ameren Illinois utilities.
Blagojevich's administration has sought a 25 percent "renewable portfolio standard" for utilities as part of a larger plan to cut the type of man-made gas emissions that are blamed for global warming. But spokeswoman Abby Ottenhoff said the governor's office is still reviewing the massive rate-relief bill.
"The governor has said it's important that we pass some rate relief for consumers," she said. "We just need to review the details of the plan."

I'm looking for a cute little winter coat for Lyla. These Max & Lola jackets are high on our list.
They sell them at Les Petits Chapelais, one of my absolute favorite children's clothing stores in NYC. It's right on Thompson Street in Soho, across from a playground, so I shop while Lyla and Patrick hang out in the park - it's super convenient.

UPDATE: DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE INSTEAD Please see new root method which works on all Nexus S and Nexus S 4G!
For those of you who want to root your Nexus S, here's our step-by-step directions on how to do it.
Why root your Nexus S phone?
Because you can get "full" root access to your Nexus S Android smartphone and install new ROMs and whatnot. Also, you can easily unroot it if you want to.
Rooting on the Nexus S is pretty easy as it's a Google-branded phone and Google has made it easy for users to root the phone.
How to Root your Nexus S!
1) First, you will need to turn your Nexus S off.
2) Then, power up your Nexus S by doing this: while holding down the Volume Up Button, hit the Power button until you see the bootloader menu come up.
(You should see a cool bootloader screen like this.)
2) Next, connect your Nexus S to your computer via a USB cable.
For Windows, you will need to install ADB drivers, you can read How to Install Nexus S USB drivers.
For Mac and Linux, you will not need any drivers, it should be recognized automatically. (These instructions are for Windows only, I will have new instructions for Mac and Linux soon!)
3) Next, download Nexussroot.zip:
Unzip the zip file and you should get a folder named "nexussroot".
4) Copy over the whole nexussroot folder into your hard disk's root directory such as c:\nexussroot like I did.
5) Open up a command prompt by typing "cmd" under Start->Search Programs and files.
Then type "cd \nexusroot".
Then type "fastboot oem unlock".
6) You should see a screen asking you to "Unlock bootloader" like shown below:
Select "Yes" using Volume Up button and hit the Power Button.
Congratulations! Your Nexus S has been rooted!
(You should see that "LOCK STATE" says "UNLOCKED", meaning your Nexus S is rooted.)
Now, having a rooted phone means nothing if you don't have Superuser app to make rooted apps run so let's go do that next.
fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
Reboot your phone, then install "ROM Manager" app under Market. Open the app and install Clockwork Recovery by flashing (the first menu button).
If that was successful, you have successfully flashed the Clockwork Recovery, which will allow you to make full system backup/restore and also let you install new ROMs.
8) Just skip the sync for now and just connect your Nexus S to your computer as a USB storage device.
Then copy over the file "su-126.96.36.199-ef-signed.zip" from the nexussroot folder into the root directory of your Nexus S SD card. This is the Superuser app.
9) Next, turn your Nexus S off and reboot into Bootloader mode by hitting the Power button while holding down the Volume Up button like we did earlier. And choose "Recovery" to get into Clockwork Recovery.
10) Once you are in Clockwork Recovery menu, choose "Install zip from sdcard" and hit the Power button.
11) Then choose "Choose zip from sdcard" and hit the Power Button.
12) Then choose the "su-184.108.40.206-xx-signed.zip" and hit the Power Button. This will install the Superuser app and you can reboot your phone.
Once you reboot your Nexus S, you should find a "Superuser" app in the menu.
What from here? You can test our your root powers by installing root-only apps like Android Wifi Tether.
Don't forget to subscribe to our blog here at Nexus S Hacks as we will have ROM installations and reviews coming soon!
This hack based on the root guide from XDA Developers.Need Help? Follow/add me on Google+, Facebook, or Twitter!
Want to stay updated on latest Nexus S Root news?
Sign up for our Nexus S Root Newsletter here so you don't miss a single tip and get personal help via e-mail! Nexus S Reference
You will need a rooted Nexus S to install all ROM/kernels.
NOTE: PLEASE ONLY INSTALL ROMS INTENDED FOR YOUR VERSION OF Nexus S! Otherwise you WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE and I will not be responsible!

house construction over the past half century.
The manual was produced in response to urgent
requests for a simple handbook showing the basics of
good house construction with emphasis on low cost.
Concurrently, FPL researchers prepared five sets of
plans and specifications for low-cost rural houses,
the construction of which is treated in detail in the
manual. The design details and techniques illustrated
and discussed in the manual are, however, generally
applicable to conventional wood house construction.
A glossary defines construction terminology from
Airway to Weatherstrip.

Ever wonder about wood--its fibrous structure, how
it grows and is nourished by air, sun, and soil, how
and why it behaves as it does when put to use? Now,
with the aid of this new publication, you can find out
for yourself.
In a series of 20 experiments, the pamphlet guides
students, from grade school through college, toward
a better insight into the properties and behavior of
this wonderful substance of trees. A brief introduction
tells about the basic structure of wood, which governs
its behavior as lumber, veneer, plywood, and even
paper. This is followed by an experiment designed to
illustrate wood structure.
In succeeding experiments, the student is shown
progressively how water moves in plants, character-
istic growth and anatomy features and how these affect
mechanical and physical properties, species differ-
ences, cell structure and properties, and such basic
properties as strength, specific gravity, and dimen-
sional changes.
ITEMS FOR FREE DISTRIBUTION are numbered, and
available from the Forest Products Laboratory while
the supply lasts. To request publications simply circle
the appropriate number on the back cover of this list,
detach, and mail to the Laboratory. Blanket requests
for publications cannot be filled.
Reports of slight interest to the layman are designated
"Highly technical."

Walking across the stage last September to accept my diploma was the 2nd happiest day in my life. The first being the day my daughter was born J Few people truly understand the struggle it was to complete my education, work full-time, and be the best parent I could be – alone. Prior to having my daughter at 19 I had completed a year of college, but was convinced it wasn't for me and waited until my daughter was around a 1½ before returning back to school. Sacrifice doesn't even begin to explain it. When I first re-enrolled my life was a mess, I was living in an illegal apartment, and then I moved over two hours away. I woke up at 5am with my young daughter and commuted over two hours each morning and afternoon with her to fulfill my responsibilities at work and school. Many mornings she cried the whole train ride. Many mornings I cried along with her. But, I was not meant to break, I was meant to succeed. So I stuck with it, often with no support, and never once did I think I would actually make it to graduation day.
So when I was approached by my friend Natasha from STEPPS Boston about hosting one of their weekly Twitter chats on pursuing an education while parenting young, I was nervous! STEPPS (Summit for Teen Empowerment, Progress, and Parenting Success) is a phenomenal organization in Boston working with teen parents with the goal of increasing the communication between young parents and the organizations and agencies that serve them. Reflecting back on my challenging education road, I didn't think there was much I could share with young parents, why would they listen to me? Then I thought about myself during the six years I struggled being a student. I thought of the countless nights and weekends spent studying, shutting down from the world, wishing I had someone to talk with, someone who understood. I thought of going to bed late after an all-night cram session and seeing my daughter sleeping so peacefully, reminding me of my purpose, of my mission. I thought of my daughter's face as I nervously walked past her on the way to the stage to get my diploma, saw her million dollar smile. I remembered her telling me how proud she was of me. I then realized I had something to share with other young parents.
There is no motivation but you when considering higher education being a young parent. You can want it, can dream about it, but if you are unwilling to put in the work you won't ever get what you want. What was really important to me during the chat was to be REAL, it ain't all roses, it's hard and you are going to want to give up, just like I did. I felt extremely guilty not being with my daughter the days and nights I was at school, thought I was a terrible mother. But, you've got to stay focused on the bigger picture. What do you want for you and your family in the future?
I was so thrilled to hear so many people taking in what I was saying in the chat, they asked questions, they shared, and I think hope they felt inspired. The same frustrations that were shared about juggling and financial aid felt so familiar to me, because I felt the same, but by even having the opportunity to come together over twitter and talk and build community is crucial, and something I wish I had while in college.
Thank you to all of the wonderful young parents who joined the chat and were so open about sharing their experiences. Click HERE to learn more about STEPPS Boston. You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter. And if you are in the Boston area be sure to check out their Summit on June 27th!

Government shutdown has chilling effect on Portland breweries
Closing of federal agency delays release of new brews
People stressed out by the dysfunction in Washington, D.C., and hoping to take the edge off with a tall, cold one may be limited because of the government shutdown.
Video: Shutdown delays new beers
Breweries have been unable to get federal approval to get some of their products to customers.
Beer bottles may be hitting a bottleneck because of the shutdown as brewers need the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau to approve recipes and labels for beers that are made with unconventional ingredients.
"So, for instance, this beer in here is Curieux, so it will say, 'Curieux – ale aged in oak bourbon barrels' and that's to let the public know what they're consuming," said Dee Dee Germain of the Allagash Brewing Company.
Officials at Allagash, a Portland company, said right now they have four beers that are waiting for approval and three that are in label limbo.
"One of the beers that's on hold for the statement of process is actually being bottled tomorrow, so we're going to go ahead and bottle it and hopefully the shutdown will end soon and we can get our label through the system and actually put a label on the bottle because until then, it's just going to sit without a label on it," Germain said.
The gridlock in Washington is also delaying new brews from hitting the market. Workers at Rising Tide Brewing Company said they were hoping to get a new product on store shelves by December.
"We were working on a label design for that beer on Sept. 30 and on Oct. 1, the website that we would use to submit the label art was shut down and we have no idea when it might reopen," said Heather Sanborn of Rising Tide Brewing.
Loan money from the federal Small Business Administration is also frozen during the shutdown.
"We were hoping to take advantage of an SBA loan program that started on Oct. 1 except for that it never started because the SBA closed on Oct. 1," Sanborn said.
At the very least, Rising Tide will be allowed to sell its new beer in the state of Maine, Sanborn said. The company just won't be able to get cleared to ship it across state lines until the shutdown is over.
A spokesman for Gritty McDuff's in Portland said on Thursday that so far the shutdown has not affected the company.

A new, longer trailer for the fourth season of Fringe has been released, showing off a bit of new dialogue.
The new trailer is almost entirely made up of quick hits from a battery of Peter Bishop episodes past, including "Subject 13," where we meet a very young Peter. But then the new stuff starts to shine through. Olivia says to someone, who we assume is Agent Lincoln Lee:
"We're all really good at pretending that the loneliness isn't there, and then, something comes along, to remind us."
And it sounds like she's aware that there's a hole in her life, where Peter ought to be.
The new season will premiere on September 23, 2011.

I Found My Great Grandfather ... Sorry Aliens!
I was seriously ready to pull out my hair, but then I stepped back for a second and thought about it. I was writing down the name "Crow" and I wasn't being especially careful. Then I looked at it. It was hard to read my own handwriting, especially with letters that could so easily be mistaken for other letters ("r" for "n" and "w" for "m", etc.). Then I had one of those A-HA! moments.
I decided to systematically go through the 1920 census images by hand. I know - almost enough to make your eyes bleed. I started with where I knew he was in 1910 (Spencer County, Indiana) and where I knew he was in 1930 (Posey County, Indiana). I also knew that he had been married in 1920 in Posey County, Indiana. That's where I started my search (thank goodness!)
I pulled up Posey County records and started with Black Township. I searched every line on every page for Districts 47, 48, and 49. No dice.
I went back and chose Mt. Vernon City, Ward 1. I got to page 15 and found something that looked like "Crow" but I couldn't be sure. The first names looked like Amos and Luana. No way I could make that look like Charles and Ida (I tried, believe me). I kept looking ... there were 13 more pages. Then lo and behold, on page 26, there he was. I had to know why I wasn't able to find him. It clearly said "Crow" when I read it. It had been indexed as "Cron." After looking at it, I could see how it might have been misread:
... and there is Harold on line 48 at age 20 and still single (don't worry, he'll be married before the year is out). It shows him as a soldier in the U.S. Army. Yep, that's my man.
I literally found this information 15 minutes ago and had to share it immediately. My first brick wall success! Woo hoo! I can't wait to share my good news with everyone in SecondLife tonight!

Railway to Boost Safety of Women…and Elephants
In his railway budget speech, Pawan Kumar Bansal made it clear that improving the safety of women passengers is among his priorities this year.
Addressing lawmakers in Delhi Tuesday, the railway minister said his department plans to significantly expand the number of female officers in the railway's police force with the aim of strengthening "the security of rail passengers, especially women passengers."
He said four women-only police companies have already been set up and eight would follow.
Companies vary in number, but they have as many as 100 officers each. Mr. Bansal added that 10% of job openings in the Railway Protection Force would be reserved for women. The RPF can employ as many as 74,500 officers, though many posts are currently vacant.
Among other things, women officers are responsible for security on "Ladies Special" trains, women-only trains that operate largely in suburban areas.
This was not the only policy aimed at improving women's welfare. In his speech, Mr. Bansal also proposed setting up hostel facilities for single women who are employed at the railways.
India's mammoth railway system employs around 1.4 million people.
Improving women's safety became a police priority in India following the rape and death of a young woman in Delhi in December, which sparked widespread outrage.
In his speech, Mr. Bansal also focused on the need to protect elephants, which he described as "gentle giants."
Lots of wild elephants have reportedly been killed in railway accidents recently, so much so that the issue has become a tusk of contention between the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Environment.
In January, Indian Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan wrote a letter to Mr. Bansal calling railway employees "devoid of compassion" after speeding trains killed eight elephants in two separate incidents, the Hindu reported.
Her ministry is now planning to place electronic tags on elephants to better monitor their movements and prevent future accidents.
The mascot of India's railways is an elephant holding a lantern, which makes the recent spate of killings especially unfortunate.
In Tuesday's speech, Mr. Bansal said his department would do its part: "The Railway family is deeply grieved by some incidents of death of elephants on railway tracks passing through forest areas. Several measures have been initiated in consultation with Ministry of Environment & Forests, which I am confident will substantially reduce such accidents and safeguard the lives of these gentle giants."

Interview With…Lucifer
Today's REAPER WITH ISSUES interview comes to you live from scenic downtown Hell, because today we sit down with none other than the Devil himself, Lucifer.
HE: Good morning, Lucifer. You look nice today.
LUCIFER: *runs hands over Italian silk suit* Yes, yes I do. And might I say that you look lovely as well. I cannot remember the last time I saw polyester blend worn so tastefully.
HE: *sighs* How was your trip to Earth? I noticed you didn't travel by bus the way the Horsemen did.
LUCIFER: I will admit there are certain perks to being an Archangel. The ability to apparate is one of them.
HE: That's right…I almost forgot. You are an Angel. So does that mean you are lacking in the… "meat department" or is that just a rumor?
LUCIFER: Let me be clear- I am an Archangel and as a rule we do not have "junk" as it were. Sadly, when my Father reassigned me to Hell he equipped me with said apparatus as a punishment. His plan worked beautifully, as this particular appendage is more work than it's worth.
HE: You've stated that you were "reassigned" to Hell by your Father. Is there any truth to the rumor that this demotion came from a falling out over a woman?
LUCIFER: Oh how little birds love to chirp.
HE: So, I take it you aren't going to answer the question?
LUCIFER: My lips are sealed.
HE: Alright, moving on. What confounds you most about mortals?
LUCIFER: Your overwhelming desire to know the sexual predilections of others. The mind boggles at the effort put toward investigating the bedroom habits of your would be politicians. These same politicians then refuse to represent the rights of their constituents based on their sexual predilections. How you mortals manage to accomplish anything is beyond my comprehension.
HE: On that note, if you were mortal, what job would you want to have?
LUCIFER: Literary Agent.
HE: No explanation necessary. Tell me, is it hard working for God?
LUCIFER: Working for my Father? Oh what to say, what to say… I suppose when inspected in the proper light the idea of working for God may seem appealing, but I haven't found that to be necessarily true.
HE: Really? In what way?
LUCIFER: The man lacks vision, for starters. The first thing I would do if I were to take over Heaven is rewrite the Bible. Too many contradictions. No wonder mortals are confused as to what is expected of them.
HE: Rewrite the Bible. Interesting. So now tell me- what do you think of the Horsemen?
LUCIFER: Ugh. You want to talk about the ponies. *sighs* So be it. Where do I begin? Pestilence is an insufferable know it all, Famine is a stickler for standards, War is a sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen and Grim, well…Grim has his moments.
HE: Your dream date is?
LUCIFER: Bjork. There's a lot of pent up hostility in that frigid little body. I'd love to melt her-
HE: Got it. Pick one- Beatles or Elvis?
LUCIFER: Why the Beatles, of course. The late great Mr. Lennon sent Jesus off the deep end with one simple statement. I've always admired him for that.
HE: Favorite sports team?
LUCIFER: I am sad to say that I am a former fan of Tampa Bay Rays baseball. They disappointed me a few years ago. I haven't forgotten.
HE: Where do you see yourself in five years?
LUCIFER: North Korea.
HE: What would mortals be most surprised to learn about you?
LUCIFER: I refute the claim the a fore mentioned politicians have made that I, indeed, am the entity to blame for their succumbing to their baser instincts. No such whispering into ears was committed by me or any of my demon henchmen. We simply do not have the time.
That concludes our interview with the Lord of the Underworld, Lucifer. Stay tuned tomorrow for back to back interviews with God and his golden boy, Jesus!

The Constance and London based Kraus Schönberg Architects realised this new built extension of a Victorian warehouse building in 'Little Germany', a particular historical area in in central Bradford, West Yorkshire.
Here is what the architects expalin:
"The formation of Bradford's Little Germany took place in various stages. This can be seen in the different sizes of the warehouses.
Starting with two to three storey buildings in the early 1830s, the trend changed towards grander structures in the late 1850s. Tayson House was built around 1870 and it's four floors have a two storey neighbour."
"The new infill structure tries to mediate between the two historical buildings, making a clear statement in its own time – the present.
The new extension is hung from a steel frame creating a minimal interface with the existing buildings. By creating its own architectural language the glass, galvanised steel and timber structure can be seen as a separate entity. This allows a continuation of the industrial character of Little Germany and helps regenerating the area."

One of my favorite "Peanut" comic strips had Charlie Brown at Lucy's psychiatric booth spilling his heart out about how he felt like a complete failure. Lucy said to him that he should not worry because "we learn more from our mistakes than from our successes." Charlie Brown yelled back, "That makes me the smartest person in the world!"
Physicist Niels Bohr had an elegant way of talking about mistakes. He defined an expert as "a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field." Thomas Edison tried 10,000 different experiments to create the light blub. When asked how it felt to fail so many times he replied, "I have not failed, not once. I've discovered ten thousand ways NOT to make a light blub."
Recently the League of American Orchestras held its annual conference and ideas about innovation and experimentation where the talk of the meetings. One speaker said that 85% of business experiments fail. But you need to have all these failures to find the 15% of new ideas that are transformative.
Musicians understand this completely. This is what practicing an instrument is all about–making thousands of small mistakes (or experiments in a way of playing) over and over again until you can play the passage correctly. Careful listening and analysis of mistakes is what leads to progress.
But what about arts organizations? Do we know how to make mistakes creatively? I think it is a huge problem. We have created this myth about the concert experience–it has to be perfect every time. This almost guarantees that we can't innovate. Recently, the LA Opera presented Wagner's Ring Cycle with an experimental staging. It got horrible reviews and the company posted a $6 million loss on the project. Can they ever try another experiment? The stakes are so high. The margins in the arts are so tight. How can we find room for positive experimentation?
I remember an expensive restaurant in Orlando, Florida I enjoyed in the 1980s. It offered only one five-course menu every night. Each night this menu changed completely. Every time I went I had a similar experience. Two or three of the courses were very good. One was terrible. And one was SPECTACULAR! The chefs were forced to constantly innovate every night. I always thought that the terrible course was the price I paid for the spectacular one. It was my favorite restaurant.
Yet, this is exactly opposite the dining experience in almost every restaurant in America. The menu must never change. We demand the same food, prepared exactly the same every night. When we travel, the food in California must taste exactly like the food in NYC. I hate this! But, recently the slow food movement is beginning to change a few minds about dining using local and seasonal produce. I see a direct correlation with music.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a concert where three pieces were presented and the audience was not sure it enjoyed all three, but preferred it that way? Maybe one-third of the audience might dislike the first selection, but another third thought this was the highlight of the evening. Imagine if we could gather the entire audience together (perhaps through Facebook?) for a passionate discussion after the performance. Imagine if nobody was intimidated by the complex technical language of music, and we all enjoyed the lively post-concert discussions almost as much as the concert itself.
It takes a huge leap of imagination to picture this scenario. And yet, I think that is what it must have been like to be a music patron in the time of Mozart. Audiences demanded new works every performance. They had no interest in hearing just greatest hits from the past. When you read the letters from artists from that time, you can almost imagine yourself in Demel's coffee shop (a legendary Viennese coffee and pastry shop that dates from Mozart's time and is still in business) after the concert loudly debating the value of Mozart's latest masterpiece.
Sebastian Lang-Lessing told me a fabulous story about an experience he had while conducting an opera in Paris. Every day before rehearsal, he had coffee across the street from the opera house. Every day he had the same waiter. After several weeks, he asked the waiter if he enjoyed going to the opera. The waiter responded that he didn't even know there was opera in the neighborhood! Sebastian invited the waiter and nine of his friends to be his guest at the next performance. The only thing he asked of them was to join him for wine and conversation after the performance. All 10 friends had never been to the opera before and Sebastian said the post-concert conversation was one of the most lively and valuable conversations about music he ever had. Sebastian didn't try to teach them the "correct" response to the opera. He just listened and learned.
We are going to try to re-create that experience here. Sebastian's debut concert as Music Director is on October 2, but he isn't here on a regular basis until January. (In October and November, he has a previously booked engagement conducting opera in Denver.) Starting in January, we are going to invite a handful of first-time audience members to join him for a casual post-conversation after many of our concerts. I can't wait to find out what we learn, and I hope we have the courage to try some experiments based on the reactions of these first-time concert-goers. And, if we do experiment, I hope our long-time loyal audiences don't mind when some of these attempts fail.

Are reflow services all you perform and will a reflow fix a blinking jack on a… Compaq CQ50?
I get asked this question fairly often, and the answer is no. We do not simply repair systems like the Compaq CQ50 that are affected by the Nvidia chipset issue; as a side note, the issue is not just related to Nvidia chipsets since it also affects Intel GPU based systems along with ATI GPU based systems also.
As an example we received a local drop off service for a Compaq CQ50-139WM laptop system that displayed a flashing DC jack and no power to the system.
The DC power jack blinked in a uniform fashion to indicate an error code, but error codes are not detailed by HP or Compaq for blinking DC power jacks, to our knowledge for the Compaq CQ50 or any system. The Compaq CQ50 was delivered due to the belief it required a reflow service for the chipsets since the laptop is a common system to be affected here recently with a chipset failure, but upon further inspection this system is an Intel based laptop (506519-001) with an Intel based processor (SLB6M) and Intel based GPU chipsets (SLB8Q and SLB95) which are rarely affected by reflow issues.
Usually we test the memory to verify that the memory is not dropping the voltage since the DDR2 slots are reversed in the Compaq CQ50 line of laptops, but a blinking DC power jack does not indicate a short, no power, but indicates a reset from a power rail failure, a blinking DC power jack.
Currently, we have a system with an Intel motherboard from a Compaq CQ50 laptop, a blinking or pulsing DC power jack, and memory that is not found to be failed.
Our only option is disassembly of the laptop to verify the issue from the circuit level diagnostics using our Fluke based testing equipment. We use a simple Fluke 117 RMS digital multimeter to test most motherboards in our shop. The multimeter can give you the best diagnostics for the laptop from our tests.
One hour later, our Compaq CQ50 laptop is disassembled and is lying ready for the troubleshooting we perform. For our testing, we only use HP branded OEM power supplies. The difficulty with using a non-branded power supply from China or a Targus adapter from Walmart is that the power supplies are variable rate and variable wattage which could lead to issues with diagnostics. A variable rate power supply may not supply the correct or higher level of Amps while still supplying the correct wattage which could lead to a false positive while diagnosing your system on the bench.
Before we even test the laptop again with power we test the power rail which is located by the DC power jack. We test the mosFET labeled U1 with a signifier of 4407 on the chip which is a known mosFET to fail in both HP DV6000 and HP DV9000 Intel based and AMD based laptop systems regularly. The chip reads 0.000 which shows our test equipment is working properly to begin. The way we test this chip is across the VCC and the Ground legs to measure the reading.
Now we plug the DC power jack in to signify that the power supply is good and blinking. We achieve this test outright by plugging the adapter in.
Then we move to testing the laptop system with the power adapter plugged in to the DC power jack with our Fluke 117 multimeter. The multimeter gives different readings from the same position telling us the mosFET may be damaged internally. The mosFET is a P-channel mosFET. The gates within the chip are switching on and off giving us the variable up and down ratings.
To be absolutely sure, we have to do a thermoelectric test by using our infrared thermometer. By using our thermometer we can get a reading of the chip and if anything internally is failing within the chip. The chip specifics state the chip to be in tolerances requires a 25C rating or a 77F rating. With this we test our infrared thermometer to check the office and get a rating of 76F for our room temperature in our office.
Then the chip after being plugged in to get a reading from the multimeter showed a rating of 86.5F
After attaching the power adapter to the DC power jack and gathering a rating we had a reading well outside the range for failure specifying this chip is the issue with the laptop.
Below is a video of our test displaying our findings with narration and explanation for those wanting to test or get a better understanding of the steps we took to test the unit.

'H-House' in South Korea BANG by MIN – Sae Min Oh
The H-House, built by the design team of Changwook Kwak and Hyunduck Yoo and conceptually created by Sae Min Oh is located in South Korea in the alley of Seongbuk-dong where a community village has formed for a long time. The architect had to design a space where three generations could live together and privately at the same time. He created the second floor as an interspace of the house that generally is divided into three floors, where each family can form a community of family, behave individually and have their own area. A demand of the client was to have a commercial space for rent in the basement floor. Located in the rental space is a beauty spa and shop. This way the house is not only a private residence but is open to anyone who may come to either visit the shop or just get an impression of the unique house in the middle of the traditional village Seongbuk-dong.
