Wolff does not seem to like dual springs. Their solution for the Colt 10mm Delta which for years has come standard with two springs and a special "Delron?" guide rod is a single 23lb spring with the normal steel Colt Gov. guide rod. Here is my 1990 Delta Gold Cup showing the original Colt parts.
And of course Wolff has a single spring solution for the Colt Officers model..... oh sorry Colt OFFICERS ACP model and one end is smaller than the other to accommodate the smaller guide rod. Here is the Wolff spring in a 2000 Colt Compact I found in a LGS back about 2015. It had an aftermarket trigger in it that bothered my finger so I fit another aftermarket trigger from Cylinder and Slide. Anyway note the Wolff Spring in the picture.
For finding the dual springs for a new Colt Commander look at this thread on another forum..........
You can also call Colt and verify those numbers I guess. Anyway I would then call Brownells and see if they think they will ever get those part numbers in and to put your email on their list so than can notify you when they do. I have not done that yet but have bought a few of the Colt rail gun dual springs and that smaller guide rod from Brownells but just kept going out to their website and looking every week or so till they got them in.

This summer's fashion week included 5 exhibition fairs, 45 shows and more than 2.700 exhibitors. These achievements place Copenhagen in the absolute international fashion elite that already counts cities like New York, Berlin and Milan. - This is an extraordinary development for us and a quality stamp of Copenhagen as a fashion city, says Anne Christine Persson, Development Director for Copenhagen Fashion Week. This season's show calendar demonstrated well-established Danish brands such as Designers Remix, Bruuns Bazaar and Day Birger et Mikkelsen, as well as upcoming talents, including Freya Dalsjö and Anne Sofie Madsen. The strong Danish brands Peter Jensen and Wood Wood also returned to Copenhagen, after having toured Berlin and Seoul. International fashion mastodons Adidas and French Connection visited Copenhagen Fashion Week, too. - Many fashion companies find the Danish market appealing right now. The market is well funded, and Copenhagen Fashion Week is a platform that attracts purchasers from all the Nordic countries, elaborates Anne Christine Persson.

Frilly Crochet Squares
I'm still working my way through stash left-overs. I like the look of this square so I decided to make it in two colors with white as the constant color. It will be a baby blanket or throw or afghan. I'll know when I finish. I am joining the squares into strips and have placed them beside each other to decide on the final placement.
The white is Plymouth Encore. The colors are Plymouth Encore, I Love This Yarn, and a few assorted others here and there. I'm using a size H hook and worsted weight yarn.
I'm joining Wonder Why and Plum's Life . Go visit them to see more projects.

In the works
Just thought I'd check in and let everyone see what is in the works here at The Little Leaf. I have a little guy that's getting close to being finished, but has taken a bit of a backseat to my first big bear. It's been fun creating a bigger guy, but it's been a very different experience from the miniatures. Here are a few things I've learned about bigger bears.
- The ears are much much easier to sew, but equally as difficult to position satisfactorily.
- The nose is still the very hardest part to get right (I still need to tweak this one a bit).
- Much larger needles or a good dose of ingenuity are required.
- It takes more fabric than you would expect (I am going to run out and need to re-order some more...oops!).
- The amount of stuffing that can fit in to a big bear head is just enormous!
Well, that sums it up so far. Next step is the body (the easiest part). Wish me luck!
5 comments:
Shanna, good for you for trying your first bigger bear and for starting a blog! I love both bears here in your photo. I am a follower of your blog now; you know I have to see what you're up to. :-)ReplyDelete
And your points about bigger bears: too true!
This bear is so cute!!!! I think the nose looks perfect. Can't wait to see it finished. I showed it to Dar and she said you are very talented.ReplyDelete
Shanna, the big guy is coming along GREAT! Yeah, you can get a ton of stuffing in a big head can't you. I'm forever buying stuffing. Can't wait to see it finished.ReplyDelete
Hi Shanna!ReplyDelete
I just began to follow your blog too.
Your big bear has a beautiful head. The nose looks great to my own view point. You did a fantastic scissor sculpting job on this head.
If that can help, I usually consider using a fat quarter for a big bear 38 cm tall. When I am careful, I have enough left for a small bear about 21,5 cm tall.
For a bear the size of Tuba (cf on my blog or website), consider buying a half meter (twice bigger), as a fat quarter is not enough.
Better buying too much than not enough, think you will always find a way to use your remnants!
Big bear hugs,
Thanks everyone!ReplyDelete
Right now he has all his parts, but I don't have the right size joints for him or wiring for hims arms. Hopefully SOMEDAY I will finish him!

We admit it: We're hopelessly obsessed with West Elm. Every time we receive this catalog of covetable home decor, we drop everything to pore over its perfectly coordinated abodes — and wonder why our own cluttered hovels don't contain more sculptural end tables and sleek, leather-tufted headboards. It's like our every dream of a more stylish, design-savvy home — and you can shop it, too. What's not to love?
Right now, as the weather turns chilly and our nesting instincts are turned up to 10, we're eyeing West Elm's collection of cozy textiles. Even if a complete apartment redo isn't in the cards (sigh...someday), a brand-new blanket, throw pillow, or rug is an instant — and affordable — way to give your pad a quick pop of polish and style. Call it the lazy girl's home makeover.

The Mombasa and Coast Tourist Association has accused civil societies of blowing the issue of child sex tourism out of proportion. MCTA chairman said though there are some incidents, there is a possibility the civil society has bloated the numbers "to attract funding from donors". "Every year, they keep on recycling the same report," said Hersi, adding that the situation is not that bad at the moment.
He said the Coast receives about 270,000 tourists annually. There have been reports that there are about 3,000 underage girls involved in child sex tourism with tourists. This, the chairman said, wrongly portrays the Coast as a haven for child sex tourism. But he said the reports are full of lies meant to create a crisis that doesn't exist.
He said the NGOs are not involved in solving the problems. "We don't see them solving the problems. If they are honest enough, let them come on the ground and work with us to eradicate the vice. We suspect they are doing this just to get funding. That is our suspicion," said Hersi on the phone. "From the numbers they give, it means out of four tourists, one sleeps with an underage girl everyday. This is ridiculous. We may not be researchers but we have gone to school," said Hersi.
He said the hoteliers at the Coast signed an agreement with the Tourism ministry and Unicef to eradicate child sex tourism in the region. He accused the NGOs of not appreciating this fact. Hersi said underage girls are at far more risk from their step fathers, step brothers and paternal uncles than they are from tourists.

Watch out this piece of clip - information about designer dog crate.
Here's another wonderful German Shepherd Dog video presented by www.aboutgermanshepherddog.com, a website dedicated to German Shepherd Dog breed and the breed enthusiasts.
The choke chains and prong chains have been in use for many decades and their misuse have claimed many innocent lives. Use of these traditional dog training tools by inexperienced handlers on the untrained dogs may prove to be dangerous. However, both the Kennel Club and RSPCA, are still considering these training equipment as effective training tool if they are used by "experienced handlers".
This cannot be a policy, as there's no well written, clear cut definition of "experienced handlers" produced by the organizations.
Electronic dog training collar, on the other hand, are a lot more humane and safer then the tradition training tools like choke chains and prong chains. Electronic dog training collar is a simple device that works on a static stimulation system.
Get more information about dog training collar at http://dogtrainingcollars.com
With its advanced technology, non-abusive anti dog bark collar helps you prevent your dog from over stimulation and mad barking. The more he barks, the higher the correction is. The correction is based on harmless methods of delivering ultrasonic beep on bark. Once the dog barks the built-in sound impact sensor detects the bark vibrations and delivers strong ultrasonic sound that irritates the dog and it stops barking instantly. Advanced devices have adjustable sensitivity regulators that allows you regulate the intensity of corrective beeps
A very humane... still effective tool to train your dog to bark on command! Get more information at www.dogbarkcollar.com
Wifi Dog Fence is one of the most effective and cost efficient way to prevent your dog from going out of your invisible boundaries. Check out the video that talks about how the wifi dog fencing system works...

The healing power of dogs after some sort of psychological traumas or neural disorders is an indisputable fact, confirmed by both scientists and dog-lovers. Especially, it is associated with last decades, when domestication of dogs and keeping them as pets became usual and frequent. The special group of these animals is comprised of therapy dogs, specifically trained pets to bring up comfort and affection for individuals, who need certain psychological rehabilitation. The idea of this method was introduced in 1961 by Dr. Boris Levinson, who noticed that his patients feel better in presence of big shaggy dogs.
The scientific researches stated that stroking of dogs for 15 minutes gradually improves heartbeat, cheers up, decreases stress hormones, returns pulse and frequency of breathing back to normal and decreases blood pressure. In this context, there are several distinguished cases, where dog therapy would be extremely appropriate, including depressions, social adaptation disorders, neural conditions (infantile autism, neuroses and logoneurosis) and, of course, cardiovascular diseases. In nursing homes, dogs help to get rid of feeling of fear and a constant tension of being in contact with strangers. Dogs are able to encourage physical activity, to focus on sole act or thing.
There are also some requirements for dog breeds. In order to participate in this program, dogs should fit the profile, so to say. As one could guess, the main issue is associated with friendly and cheerful character. In particular, dogs should have a strong affection to children, calm attitude, allowing to stroke their fur and being patient and kindly. The preparation of "healing" dog usually takes from one and a half up to two years. Dogs are usually trained in special centers or dog clubs, and later they join dog teams in state institutions or private funds. Common dog therapy usually involves dogs of such breeds as Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Black Terrier.
Healing power of dogs is much recognized in the world. For example, in Norway dogs' education is taken care of by state institutions and the whole process is conducted under state's control. In the United Kingdom dogs are trained in scientific and research establishments, engaged in study of various diseases and their diagnostics with dogs' help. In the United States dogs comprise nearly 95% of therapy animals. Most of them provide assistance after major catastrophes, natural disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding) and shootings (after shooting in Northern Illinois University, for example).
My friend Megan Heltzel, the Communications Specialist at National Geographic Society just informed me that Andrew Evans, is on a trans-Atlantic journey from South America's Cape Horn to Africa's Cape of Good Hope, and that he has posted an interesting video. During his journey, Andrew could manage to spend a few moments with some really amazing Antarctic fur seals in South Georgia. Watch out...
About German Shepherd Dog is one of the most inspirational resort for all German Shepherd lovers throughout the world. This is one best website on German Shepherds I have ever witnessed and you can realize that they have spent so many nights working on this website, dedicating it to the German Shepherd Dog breed and its global enthusiasts. This GSD video shows the making of their beautiful artistic logo, the detailed note on which can be found on their official GSD Blog
What's interesting about this video is that this video is both informative and entertaining. It not only shows how deeply this beautiful specimen of German Shepherd breed has inspired the largest About German Shepherd Dog portal, but also teaches the GSD fanciers what actually a perfect GSD trot should be like!

|A very nice early blooming CV.
Stats listed are pretty close as this double produces a pretty tangerine bloom measuring in just under 5" here in my garden. The scape's are still a bit short as it is still settling into its new location at my new home. It did show some rebloom scape's this year and they are just as nice as the early spring blooms. Has shown a increase of a couple fans per year.
A keeper here.

|I have had this cultivar for many years and it definitely is a keeper. I have never kept track of bud count but it seems to bloom for a long time. The drought did affect bloom this year. I am sure it will recover and do better next year. It is fertile both ways. It multiplies rather quickly in my zone and when a nice sized clump blooms, it looks very nice.

What's good, everyone? Joshua Evo back again with another product review for your consumption. Now, as of so far, I've only ever done reviews on games and arcade sticks and have been meaning to expand into more peripherals. I put it off for a long time, mostly because I really couldn't find anything that necessitated a review since there hasn't been too much news in peripheral world lately (unless you're interested in the Avenger). Recently though, a new controller has been released that looks to make some serious noise in the gaming world. Today, I have a review for you all of the MLG Pro Circuit Controller by Mad Catz.
It should be noted that this review was conducted on the Playstation 3 model.
First, a little history lesson for you all. Mad Catz has long been a mainstay of the gaming community. They've been around since 1989 and have been making peripherals of all kinds: from controllers and headsets to the infamous cheat module, the Gameshark. In the early going, the company had a less than favorable rep among gamers who cited that their controllers were less than ideal products. A midst these criticisms, the company worked to improve the quality of their products and struck gold in 2008 when they were commissioned by Capcom to create a line of arcade sticks and "fight pad" peripherals for the fighting game community. They have since become the most prolific maker of arcade sticks in the U.S. and have branched out into different brands like Triton, which makes high-quality gaming headsets. Recently, they teamed with Major League Gaming to put out a controller that was designed with competition and customization in mind. The fruits of that labor are the Mad Catz MLG Pro Circuit Controller for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it's not your average controller. It also bears a mention that this peripheral is at a higher price point than most normal replacement controllers, but is more than fair for what it offers gamers in the long run. Aside from the unique appearance, it has a multitude of features that set it in a class of its own.
So the first thing that I noticed about this controller when I received it was the box. It's a pretty impressive, sort of hinged box that's got a sleeve around it that needs to be removed before getting to the controller. Once in the box, the design of the controller struck me immediately. First of all, it's shaped like an Xbox 360 controller with the buttons and sticks in a PS3 controller configuration. I personally, prefer the shape of the Xbox 360's standard controller but am also primarily a PS3 gamer, so ends up being a win-win situation . I play a LOT of first-person shooters and one of my biggest problems with the PS3 controller is setting it down the wrong way and accidentally depressing the R2 button, which causes me to toss out a grenade or something. Thanks to this design, that's a thing of the past. Speaking of intelligent design choices, the rubberized grips on this controller is a stroke of genius. Many gamers (myself included) get really into their games and in some less than nimble moments, either drop the controller or have it slip when going for an input. The grips help deter the occurrences of this and are just comfortable to hold for long periods of time. As a Skyrim player, I appreciate the hell out of this feature. The "long play" factor was a definite consideration, seeing as how this is a screw-in wired controller with a generous amount of cord length that also happens to be covered in a tough, fabric material. These relatively small design choices notwithstanding, the biggest draw for this controller however, has been the high levels of customization in both appearance and most importantly, input configuration.
The faceplates and grip covers are held in place by magnets and can be swapped out to change the appearance of the controller. Currently, it only comes with a glossy and matte black finish but Mad Catz has said that they plan to release more designs in the future. On a more functional level though, let's take a look at the custom positions of the D-Pad and Analog sticks. The PS3 model comes out of the box with the traditional PS3 controller configuration; with the convex analog sticks at the center and the D-pad on the left hand side. However, the controller comes with several options, including a X-Box 360 style D-pad and concave analog stick modules. Additionally, with a twist and click, these interfaces can be moved around and placed in different slots on the controller so there's a setup for any type of game and gamer. Most FPS players prefer the Xbox 360 setup of having the left analog stick as the primary navigation option, while a lot of players who play fighting games on pads prefer to have the Playstation style D-pad in the primary control slot. The controller allows for any of these configurations and once locked into place, each method of control and every button on the controller very responsive. The LED indicators for the PS3 model are on towards the bottom of the controller, while the Start, Select and Home buttons are higher up on the face and are well out of the way of any accidental presses. I conducted extended game play sessions with Modern Warfare 3, Skyrim and Blazblue: Continuum Shift, using a different controller configuration each time and each one was fluid and highly responsive. Also, the rugged construction proudly proclaims that controller is definitely built to take some serious play. Finally, is a padded carrying case that sports the MLG logo is included, which is lined with microfiber to keep things clean and protected. A mesh pocket and Velcro dividers are also included so that even the case has compartments that can be set to different sizes to carry all the included extras.
The Mad Catz MLG Pro Circuit Controller retails at $99.99. As previously mentioned, it's at a much higher price point than a normal controller, but its multitude of different customization options and configurations, as well as its durable construction and responsiveness make it an extremely smart purchase that promises not to disappoint. I've been very happy with this controller so far and it's definitely become my peripheral of choice when doing 80% of my gaming

Peter attended the Desert Sun School in 1978.
After boarding school, Peter returned to Los Angeles. He went to Santa Barbara City College and majored in Hotel Restaurant Management. From there, he worked in the restaurant business for a while and then went to work with his father in the construction business building high-end, custom residential homes in the L.A. area for the next eleven years.
When the Northridge Earthquake hit in 1994, Peter activated his general contractor's license and started a business remodeling damaged homes. After the first year, Peter obtained his "A" license (general engineer) and started a paving and grading business. This business did very well for about five years at which time he decided that the dash for cash was not for him. "Peter's paving" was shut down in 2000 and he moved back to the Santa Cruz Mountains to live a more simple stress free life among the Redwoods of Northern California and re-access his priorities.
In July of 2003 Peter obtained his California and Washington state real estate license and moved to Sequim, Washington for one year. After getting his feet wet in the real estate business in Washington state where he was the top producing rookie and number four among all agents in the area in gross sales, Peter moved back home to Marina Del Rey and has found a permanent home at Venice Properties selling real estate in Venice beach and the west side from Malibu to Manhattan beach.
Peter has remained unmarried. He enjoys playing golf, mountain biking, motorcycle rides sailing, snow and water-skiing and continues to follow his dreams.

State legislation part 2: VOIP, PEG and student journalism
Submitted by jonathan on Fri, 2009-02-13 16:17
A few more bills we're watching at the Washington State Legislature:
SB 5628/HB 1585 would prohibit state regulation of Voice over IP (VOIP) service. This is, of course, backed by the telecom companies who argue that, since the federal government is regulating VOIP, it would be too cumbersome for states to regulate it as well. And in 2007, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals had already ruled that states do not have regulatory authority over VOIP (agreeing with the FCC, which had asserted a unique right to regulate the service).
However, that ruling was based on very limited arguments about the unfeasability of treating VOIP the same as traditional telephone or cell phone service, which have traditionally been subject to state regulation. State regulation of phone service can increase competition, consumer information and consumer rights, as well as providing revenues for state government. And in the future, VOIP may eclipse traditional phone service (just as cell phones are slowly replacing land lines for many consumers).
SB 5241, sponsored by Sen.Eric Oemig, would require cable providers to include public access, educational and government (PEG) channels as part of their lowest-priced service tier. This sounds like a perfectly good idea; in fact I was surprised to hear that this was not already the law. 47 U.S.C. § 543(b)(7) says that "[e]ach cable operator of a cable system shall provide its subscribers a separately available basic service tier…and such service tier "shall . . . consist of . . . [a]ny public, educational, and governmental access programming required by the franchise of the cable system to be provided to subscribers." Are we talking about sub-basic service tiers? In many cities and counties, at least, cable franchise agreements already do require PEG to be carried on all service tiers.
The bill also calls for measuring PEG viewership, something which is not currently done by ratings services or cable providers. Conventional wisdom is that such a law would be likely to provoke a storm of legal action from cable providers.
Finally, SB 5946, a commonsense bill which would protect the free speech rights of student journalists and their faculty advisers. Last year, this bill passed the House on a party-line vote but was defeated in the Senate after being opposed by the Seattle Times. Rep. Dave Upthegrove has been the principal champion of this legislation for three years now, and if the bill can get through the Senate, it is expected to have little difficulty in the House.

Why VP8 mattersMay 10, 2010
This post was made prior to the Google IO conference which is May 19 -> 20th, and as such things may change after this date.
VP8 is potentially a game-changer in the realm of both streaming, High-Definition, and mobile video devices. It also has the potential to help in the killing of Adobe Flash, and solve the HTML5 Video format war.
Currently there are two formats that are used in HTML5 Video by differing browsers: Ogg Theora and h.264
Both have support from different browsers, both have different camps fighting for their success, and both have their pros and cons.
Ogg Theora is open-source, and is supported by Mozilla Firefox and Opera.
h.264 is a proprietary codec with paid licenses, it's supported by Safari and the upcoming Internet Explorer 9 (1).
Google Chrome currently supports both h.264 and Ogg Theora video.
A little history
Ogg Theora was open-sourced a while back now. Previously it was known as VP3, initially made by a company called On2 Technologies. On2 have recently been purchased by Google, and their latest and greatest codec VP8 is a real contender for h.264 video, but currently is under a restrictive license. An example of a "standard" piece of encoding software costs around USD$39.
The arguement
There are reasons why you want to use Ogg Theora and there are reasons why you don't. I'll list them all in bullet points, just for ease of reading, and because I'm lazy:
- Ogg Theora is open-source, therefor free and can be easily incorporated into a browser
- Because it is open-source, people fear it may suffer lawsuits due to software patent infringement (2)
- h.264 is arguably better quality, though those from the Theora camp say that they can match or better the quality of h.264 with fine tuning, personally I've found that h.264 is better.
- High Definition video requires quite a bit of processing power to decode (Well and even to encode), so it can suck battery life out of things like Cellphones or iPods etc like crazy. h.264 is particularly CPU intensive even when standard or mobile definitions.
- VP8 is supposed to use around 50% the CPU requirements to decode the same video, when compared with h.264 (3)
- VP8 uses less bandwidth to achieve the same quality (4)
- VP8 is able to adjust its quality in realtime, based on things such as CPU use and bandwidth available, and as such would be superb for video conferencing (5)
- h.264 video is currently free for use in browsers until the year 2016, but after that who knows, the patent owners could begin charging. If h.264 is *the* codec that's used on the web, why wouldn't they, and make millions? (6)
- Apple is also heavily invested in h.264 with their iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch platforms, they're specifically against flash
Why this all matters? Why not flash?
Well, in a world that's heading towards Touchscreens amongst other things, there's less and less reasons why people would want to use Flash.
Known for being horribly insecure and one of the main reasons why an OS would crash, it's renowned for being CPU and bandwidth intensive (7).
HTML5 is a way to replace Flash for almost everything, and it's going to die a slow death (My own prediction there), but it's going to happen.
What matters is finding a suitable replacement to the current Flash-Video, prior to the finalizing of the HTML5 specification.
The options
If we go with Ogg Theora, it's free and open-source, but may come under fire from lawsuits. It's debated that the quality isn't as good as h.264 either
If we go with h.264, it's licensed and popular already, but the owners could begin to hold the world ransom from 2016, and then the world would either have to pay up, or overnight switch to something else. That's what the team over at Mozilla is worried about.
We could go with something like VP8, if open-sourced. It's got Google behind it, so immediately if they start using it on YouTube, then millions of PC's would suddenly support the codec in order to play back the video.
If it's open-source, it'll keep the Opera & Mozilla camps happy. If it's not Flash, it'll keep Apple (Safari) happy, and they could potentially use it in their iPhones etc with an update. Google own it, so naturally they'd support it in Chrome, which just leaves Microsoft. They really want their own Silverlight, but they're the only ones, and nobody else seems to like that idea, so they'll basically just have to suck it up and go along with it even if they don't like it. Besides, it'd be in their best interests in the long run, compared with h.264 anyway.
This is why we need VP8 to be open-sourced, and for Google to push it via YouTube.
Flash will die
VP8 will use less bandwidth and CPU compared with h.264, so it's great for mobile devices like iPhones / iPods / Laptops on battery, and embedded devices like Media Centers. Being open-source will mean people can work on hardware acceleration for encoding / decoding for their particular device (if applicable), and it'll mean that the world isn't about to be held to ransom over the code (Worst-case is Google does though ..).

We were recently commissioned to provide a set of exterior architectural visuals to support a planning application in Essex, U.K. This is a to be a new build detached property with a swimming pool in the rear garden and outdoor cooking area.
Our 2016 ArchViz Demoreel
Here's a video showcasing our latest architectural animation & visualisation work. I hope you like it. (Music: www.bensound.com)
Proposed Rural Office Complex
We produced and rendered this set of computer generated visualisations for a Client that required a graphical supplement to a set of planning application drawings. We tried to accurately represent the proposed development's impact on the natural environment along with showing the design decisions that reduce it. This is easier to do with imagery than monochrome CAD drawings.
Its rather subtle on the images shown but we ended up generating true topography & ground relief because we were supplied with a verbose survey which had levels data. We were able to map the proposed ground surface directly onto this level data to more accurately show how the proposed development will sit on the existing land.
Kitchen Design Renders
Continuing with our kitchen design work…
We were asked to create a quick visualisation overlaying a new kitchen run design onto a photo of an existing kitchen. Having only 2 photos to work from we opted to re-create the existing entirely in Sketchup and use a photo realistic renderer to achieve the final result. We also created some 2D CAD plans and elevations of the proposed kitchen run.
House Extension Project- Epsom
Continuing with our migration into all things sketchup this year, we created various house extension schemes for a Client in 3D so they could visualize the various options available to them. We kept the 2D work in CAD form but used the 3D model to create the orthogonal elevational views for the house.

Twin Cities sees heat advisory on first day of fall
MINNEAPOLIS -- Friday is the first day of autumn, but the Twin Cities won't know it as hot and humid air will make it feel like it's nearly 100 degrees.
The expected sweltering conditions led the National Weather Service to issue a heat advisory for the seven-county metro area from 1 to 7 p.m. Friday.
The hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible, especially for those who are active outdoors.
Heat index values are expected to top out between 95 and 100 degrees.
Weather service forecasters advise drinking plenty of fluids, staying in an air-conditioned space, avoiding the sun, and checking on vulnerable relatives and neighbors.
Friday's air temperature is expected to top out in the low 90s. The heat wave is also expected to fire up thunderstorms Thursday night, Friday and Friday night.
Weekend temperatures will moderate slightly, with highs in the mid-80s expected along with a continuing chance of thunderstorms.

The most offensive word you could say to a parent of a baby with Down syndrome isn't at all profane. In fact, in other contexts, it's a perfectly sweet thing to say.
That verboten word is "sorry."
The nonprofit Canadian Down Syndrome Society has released a new PSA titled "The S Word" — listing all the appropriate reactions to any of the 9,363 births of babies with Down syndrome in North America this year, as well as the one big no-no.
Be advised: This video is absolutely saturated with obscenities! We haven't seen individuals with Down syndrome portrayed quite this foul-mouthed on TV before, but these PSA participants are dropping F-bombs for a good cause. That's the level of excitement all of us should exhibit, really— because these childbirths are good news. The clip also demonstrates through the vulgar language just how offensive "sorry" can be.
A reminder: the clip below features NSFW language.
"You're supposed to be celebrating," the participants say in the video, released just in time for Canadian Down Syndrome Awareness Week. "Don't be sorry about a baby, be happy. Because every baby deserves a warm fucking welcome!"
Thanks to how ad agency FCB Canada leveraged Google AdWords, this Anything But Sorry initiative will rank among the first results when Google users search for queries such as "What do you say to parents who just had a baby with Down syndrome?"
"In talking to parents of children with Down syndrome, a recurring and devastating theme kept emerging," FCB Canada Co-Chief Creative Officer Nancy Crimi-Lamanna, told AdFreak. "[We heard] stories of how traumatizing the reaction towards the birth of their child was. Whether they had chosen to have the baby or it was a surprise, the reactions from family, friends and even healthcare providers was the same — a heartfelt 'sorry.' For many, this feeling of mourning, loss and sadness is their most prominent birth memory."
"As a parent, I was deeply saddened," Crimi-Lamanna continued. "Can you imagine mourning the birth of your child? Our strategy was to change the behavior around this very specific moment in time by showing people that when it comes to welcoming a new baby with Down syndrome, the only bad word they can say is sorry."
At AnythingButSorry.com, you can even send an e-card with the same profanely happy reactions these babies deserve — or you can order a printed card, with proceeds going to the CDSS. (Our favorite? "Merde! C'est un bébé!")

The number of property developers in China could fall from around 30,000 to only the single-digit thousands or even hundreds in the next five years as the country's red-hot market cools, according to Swiss bank UBS Group.
A series of government policies to contain property prices in recent years has started to have an effect, with all key property statistics, including sales, prices and land supply in cities showing a slowdown since June, Hu Yifan, chief China economist at UBS, told a media briefing on Wednesday.
"There will be a relatively large consolidation in China's property sector in the next three to five years," Hu said. "Chinese developers would be gradually consolidated down into thousands, or even only hundreds, as the industry undergoes drastic change."
"In September, we saw a turning point in the sector as sales growth was negative for the first time in a long time," she said.
China's housing boom started with privatisation in 1998, which ended the distribution of state-owned housing and paved the way for a privately owned residential market. Since 2010, however, authorities across the country have sought to cool prices through measures including restrictions on second-home purchases, raising minimum down payments and tightening mortgage lending.
New-home prices rise in China as market steadies
The strongest signal of change came when President Xi Jinping told the 19th congress of the ruling Communist Party in October that "houses are for living in, not for speculation", indicating that there was unlikely to be any let-up in government attempts to cool the market.
"The rules of the game totally changed after the 19th congress," said Hu. "Looking forward, the authorities will be more leaning towards encouraging people to rent property rather than buy them."
In November, China's second-largest commercial bank by assets, China Construction Bank, rolled out the country's first residential leasing mortgage product, which would be used by individuals for renting houses rather than purchasing them. The bank said it was not eyeing profit from the new mortgage, but rather was "helping the government to build a healthy and reasonable residential leasing market", according to mainland media Caixin.
While Hu expected the property sector to continue slowing, she did not think there would be a hard landing.
"We expect property taxes to be rolled out in the next two to three years in China's first- and second-tier cities, which would put pressure on the property sector, but we don't see a hard landing emerging," she said.

HOUSE MEMBERS ASK AOPA HELP TO SAVE GA RELIEF BILL Congressional leaders are asking AOPA for help with the general aviation relief bill. Leaders of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee wrote AOPA President Phil Boyer this week, recognizing the critical role AOPA has played so far in the General Aviation Reparations Act of 2002 (H.R. 3347). But the House leadership has agreed to a Bush administration request to prevent a vote on the measure. "I am deeply concerned with the situation we find ourselves in. If there is not some willingness among congressional leaders and the White House to get this bill moving, I believe any chance to provide relief for general aviation businesses could be doomed," Boyer said. The letter, signed by Chairman Don Young (R-Alaska), Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.), John Mica (R-Fla.) and Bill Lipinksi (D-Ill.), said GA is the "forgotten victim" of the terrorist attacks on the United States. AOPA outlined a proposed bill on September 13 to help small GA businesses (flight schools, independent FBOs, etc.) affected by the September 11 airspace shutdown. It would have cost the government $450 million. Since then, both the scope and the cost have expanded; the version pending before the House totals $5.5 billion.
WHAT DOES A BIPLANE HAVE IN COMMON WITH A JET FIGHTE R? The canopy, as soon as Classic Waco Aircraft Corporation of Battle Creek, Michigan, completes the design process. The company is developing a bubble canopy for the rear cockpit of its Waco YMF-5, last of the Waco barnstormers, so that owners in the frozen North can enjoy their aircraft during winter months. The canopy, which resembles that of an F-16 Fighting Falcon, still has to be certified. The company has built five or six airplanes a year since it was founded, and just delivered its 100th new Waco YMF-5. This one has equipment never dreamed of by the barnstormers: The rear cockpit has a Garmin 530 display while the front cockpit, which seats two, has a Bendix/King moving map. The new owner is taking training in the aircraft and will take it home to Cleveland soon.
NEW PIPER STREAMLINES PRODUCTION METHODS Flashing lights now mark New Piper Aircraft production in the company's Vero Beach, Florida, factory. Part of a new production process spearheaded by John Gallo, vice president of operations, blue lights mean a process--such as painting or an interior installation--is completed. Workers who complete a task turn on a blue light and head off to help their coworkers. Red lights signal low parts inventory levels on the production line and initiate restocking. The communication method is part of a plan to modernize general aviation manufacturing methods that have changed little in 40 years. Gallo said the process of converting the entire plant to what is dubbed the "Factory of the Future" will be completed next year.
AOPA OPPOSES MANDATORY CESSNA RUDDER AD In response to an Airworthiness Concern Sheet (ACS) issued by the FAA, AOPA has recommended against mandatory airworthiness action on rudder gust locks installed on certain Cessna 402, 414, and 421 airplanes. The ACS highlighted an incident in which an operator experienced a rudder jam resulting from deformation of the rudder gust lock mechanism. The type club, Twin Cessna Flyer, the Cessna Pilots Association, and AOPA responded to the ACS stating that they had received no reports of rudder jamming resulting from damaged rudder gust locks on Cessna 400 series airplanes, pointing out that inspection and release of the rudder gust lock is spelled out in Cessna's published preflight inspection procedures. "A pilot's failure to conduct a thorough preflight inspection is an operational issue rather than an airworthiness concern," said Melissa Bailey, AOPA vice president of regulatory policy. "A Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin reminding pilots to inspect and release rudder gust locks during preflight is the most appropriate means to mitigate this concern." For daily news updates, see AOPA Online.
COLORADO LEGISLATURE HONORS AOPA Legislators in Colorado's Senate and House of Representatives honored AOPA President Phil Boyer for the organization's efforts after the September 11 attacks to keep U.S. skies open. Boyer said the job is not yet done. "Even now, eight months after the attacks, there are those who see general aviation as an unregulated wildcard that poses a national security risk. We at AOPA will continue to speak out and to educate the public at large. Individual pilots can also help by 'flying friendly,' and by speaking up when they hear misinformed statements about general aviation." LEARN ABOUT SPATIAL DISORIENTATION AT THE AOPA FLY-IN This year at AOPA's twelfth annual Fly-In, not only can you learn about spatial disorientation, you can experience it. The AOPA Air Safety Foundation will host a seminar on the dangers of spatial disorientation, how to recognize it, and how to deal with it. ASF and the FAA have just completed a study on spatial disorientation. You can hear the results of the study during the seminar, which is open to all pilots, not just AOPA members. The event is at the Frederick (Maryland) Municipal Airport on Saturday, June 1. For more, see AOPA Online.

MeMe - Raises Her Hand (-_-) (Mommy Of A Toddler And Teen) - posted on 03/24/2012 ( 17 moms have responded )
Juvenile justice is the area of criminal law applicable to persons not old enough to be held responsible for criminal acts. In most states in the US, the age for criminal culpability is set at 18 years. In England the age of criminal responsibility is 10 years old, Other countries have ages of criminal responsibility between these extremes, for example, Turkey (14), Romania (12), Greece (12), Spain (15); Belgium and Luxembourg also both set it at 18.
The key issues in this debate are whether we should punish juveniles more in line with adult punishment, or whether there should be special treatment for them.
In my opinion the Canadian young offenders act is ridiculous, though, I do not believe they should be sent to prison. I do however believe in rehab, a firmer one then what is given now.
Juvenile deliquent centres in Canada, are a joke. I have visited a few, several times (I was never an offender, had friends that were), and it was ridiculous! Seriously. They were all still doing drugs, smoking, watching T.V and enjoying themselves.
I think most stems at home. These children's parents should have recourse too. They should be made to attend parenting classes and seek family counselling.
What are your thoughts? Is this an area that is lacking where you live or is it right where it should be? Should young offenders be sent to more viguros rehab or be sentenced the same as an adult and spend time in a prison? What is the law where you live and does it seem to work?


text: Black Knights come from a time many centuries ago, when barbarian tribes roamed what is now the Empire. Upon their death they were buried with their most prized possessions - their blade, their armour, and their steed. When Vampires come to the burial mound of a Black Knight, their innate magical aura re-awakens these corpse-warriors and they burst from their graves ready to do battle. So powerful is the bond between rider and mount that they can gallop straight through buildings as if they were not there, or charge across the surface of a lake without leaving so much as a ripple. Despite their insubstantial Undead nature, their blades are all too real and many a foe has died to their enchanted blades.Hexwraiths are born in the very depths of the Underworld, their only goal to hunt down those who have cheated death. They share many similarities with Cairn Wraiths, and their scythe-like weapons are just as deadly (if not more-so). Because of their incorporeal forms, a Hexwraith can simply shimmer between worlds, their scythes re-materialising inside the bodies of their foes. Armour is no protection against these cackling Undead monstrosities - they will run down their victims swiftly and violently and claim their souls for the afterlife.This multi-part plastic set contains 91 components to construct five Vampire Counts Black Knights or five Hexwraiths. The set has enough parts to build a full unit of five Black Knights, which can include a command group with a standard bearer, musician and Hell Knight. There are also five sets of scythe arms and alternative heads, which can be used to build a unit of Hexwraiths. This set comes with five 25x50mm cavalry bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints

POLICE are patrolling Alder Hey children's hospital around-the-clock after a critically ill teenager's visitors caused a string of disturbances.Nurses and parents of young patients say a group of up to 60 people coming in to see one desperately-ill child has brought chaos to the West Derby complex this week.
The group have been visiting a 13-year-old from the travelling community, who was badly injured in a car accident earlier this week.He is currently fighting for his life after being thrown from a stolen Transit van, which crashed into a lamppost in St Helens on Tuesday.
"Visitors" is politically correct speak for gypsies or otherwise known as travellers. Where they go pandemonium, vandalism, theft, criminal damage follows. There are of course other ethnic groups that think the world (but mostly Britain) owes them something and the, ahem, visitors are one of these groups. They contribute nothing to the community and offer nothing but upset and headaches in return.

i am currently staying at alder hey, and find the presence of police asking me where i am going, aswell as the "travellers" intimidating, although it is now under control, we are ALL only there for one thing, and that is our sick children!! I have to say the parents of the boy are quite nice people and are keeping themselves to themselves whilst focusing on their son, its the rest of them.ReplyDelete

Home Videos in the Blog AgeNovember 8, 2007
There was a time that you'd go on holiday, shoot loads of DV footage and maybe watch it once with your family, unedited. To do that you'd plug the camcorder directly into your TV because anything cleverer was too much like hard work.
Some diehards, myself included, might have tried their hand at home video editing, mostly with cheap crappy tools. Some really hardy types might venture into Adobe Premiere territory to do some proper editing. Music, titles, cross-fades, fancy transitions, the lot. I did all this. It takes ages, and you then still have a big job on your hands to encode to MPEG2 format and burn a valid DVD that will actually play in your home DVD player.
And when you've done all that your family might condescend to stop whatever they're doing and sit through it once, like they're doing you a big favour. The DVD then sits on a shelf collecting dust.
All in all, really not worth the return for the effort put in.
Well, we are now in the era of blogs, social networks and youTube. I would like to suggest there is a new and better paradigm for how to "do home video":
- You tackle your video in neat little chunks of just a few minutes, each detailing a discrete episode in your holiday or party or whatever.
- You process one such clip at a time, as a self-contained mini video for viewing in its own right.
- Each clip just needs basic tidying up – no need to waste hours on titles, cute transitions, etc. Just cut out the dross.
- The tidy clip of video is suitably compressed and uploaded to youTube, Vimeo or whatever you prefer.
- You email your friends to tell them there's a new clip to look at, or better still embed the clip in your blog. You can still email everyone, or advertise the new content on Facebook or whatever your favourite social networking site is.
- You go onto the next 3 or 4 minute clip, remembering to cherry-pick ruthlessly. Unless there is something of genuine interest in the footage you discard it. Even so, it might take you a few weeks to get through all the footage worth sharing.
Why do it this way? Well …
- It's much less of a chore for you
- Stuff starts to appear quicker. Family aren't waiting for months for you to produce a complete DVD
- Your friends and family can watch it at their leisure, at a time that suits them, without having to leave the comfort of their homes and can replay their favourite bits as often as they like. They don't have to travel to your house in the rain or wait for a DVD in the post
- They don't get overfaced with having to smile politely through an hour of video in one sitting. If your clips are well chosen, your friends might actually find themselves looking forward to the next little instalment, and if they don't well you need never know or worry about it
- It gives people a reason to keep coming back to your blog/Facebook entry/youTube channel
- If you embed your clips in a blog, your viewers can leave comments – which is nice
- Most important of all, this approach sits well with the way people are tending to use the Internet and interact with each other in the Blog Age
There is still the issue of how to convert short sections of DV footage as quickly and painlessly as possible into decent quality compressed files, ready for uploading to an online video website. This is a subject I am tackling in the Vista's Video Nasties series, which should result in a complete recipe for automated video processing bliss.

Ford is recalling more than 88,000 cars and SUVs in North America, including 7,353 in Canada, because the engines can stall without warning due to a fuel pump problem.
The recall covers certain Ford Taurus and Police Interceptor sedans, Ford Flex wagons, Lincoln MKS sedans and Lincoln MKT SUVs from the 2013 through 2015 model years. All have 3.5-litre turbocharged six-cylinder engines.
The 3.5-litre Ford Flexes and Lincoln MKT were build at Ford's plant in Oakville, Ont., between Sept. 12, 2011 and May 31, 2015.
Ford says the fuel pump control modules can fail, and the engines may not start, or they could stall, leaving drivers without the ability to restart them. The company says it's not aware of any crashes or injuries from the problem.
Dealers will replace the control module at no cost to owners.
Ford says it's working with parts makers to ship new modules quickly. The company will notify customers to bring their vehicles in for repairs starting the week of Oct. 17.

A biomolecular scientist whose work has been hailed as more impressive than the moon landing has played down the praise, saying he is just happy to have helped people walk on the earth.
A Queensland finalist in the Australian of the Year award, Professor Alan Mackay-Sim has spent his career looking at the regenerative properties of stem cells and how they can be used to repair damaged spinal cords.
His clinical trials in 2002 played a key role in the world's first successful restoration of mobility in a quadriplegic man in 2014.
British professor Geoffrey Raisman, who was part of the surgery that allowed paralysed Polish firefighter Darek Fidyka to walk again, said the outcome was "more impressive than man walking on the moon".
Prof Mackay-Sim deflected that sentiment, saying the work was part of a team effort.
However, he hopes his Australian of the Year nomination raises awareness of the issue, and of scientific research in general.
"It raises the issue of disability in the community and it raises the issue of science and the importance of scientific research to advance clinical therapies," Prof Mackay-Sim told AAP.
"It also raises the issues of, yes, this can be done in Australia, we don't have to wait for someone to do the science overseas and we pick it up."
Prof Mackay-Sim is one of the four finalists for the Queensland awards that will lead to a state representative at January's Australian of the Year Awards.
Also nominated is world-renowned humanitarian Dr Nora Amath, occupational therapist Michael Lyddiard - who as a severely wounded veteran has helped rehabilitate other soldiers - and human rights lawyer Aimee McVeigh.
The finalists for Young Queenslander of the Year are Elijah Douglas, an indigenous teenage youth worker, Sharrel O'Brien, who provides free legal advice to domestic violence victims, 17-year-old inventor Taj Panbari and multilingual mathematician Ivan Zelich.
The winners of the Queensland awards will be announced on Wednesday night.
