NLDS Game Four Recap: Dodgers 4, Braves 3
Yesterday afternoon, right around lunchtime in Los Angeles, the Dodgers dropped this bombshell:
With a 2-1 advantage in the Division Series and a chance to seal victory on their home turf, the Dodgers were going for the jugular. Manager Don Mattingly had decided to hand the ball to his best pitcher, Clayton Kershaw, and ask him to do something that he had never done as a starter: work on three days' rest.
Some nine hours later, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez was given a similar opportunity. His team had stared down Kershaw and, with the help of shaky glovework from the Dodgers, come out ahead. As the game went into the seventh-inning stretch, the winning pitcher of record was Freddy Garcia, and the go-ahead run freshly delivered by the unlikely tandem of Elliot Johnson, who tripled with one away in the top of the seventh, and pinch-hitter Jose Constanza, who singled him home.
Luis Avilan and Brian Wilson each stranded a couple of baserunners to preserve the 3-2 score until the bottom of the eighth—decision time for Gonzalez. His best pitcher, Craig Kimbrel, was getting greased up for a high-leverage assignment. But Kimbrel, well on his way to being remembered as one of the great closers of the post-Mariano Rivera generation, had never recorded six outs to convert a save. In fact, the 25-year-old had only twice completed two innings in any major-league situation, once while blowing a save chance in 2011, his rookie year, and once as a 22-year-old wetting his feet in 2010.
Gonzalez went instead with David Carpenter, who earned his trust with an outstanding regular season, during which he compiled a 1.78 ERA and went 33 straight appearances from late July through September without coughing up more than one run. Yasiel Puig led off the frame with a double, putting the tying run in scoring position and bringing the go-ahead run to the plate. Kimbrel was ready. But Gonzalez was not prepared to put him in for six outs.

Juan Uribe is definitely a post-season hero. Consider this: since 2005, Uribe has played on 4 teams that reached the post-season -- the 2005 White Sox, the 2008 White Sox, the 2010 Giants and the 2013 Dodgers. The collective record of these teams in the post-season? The 2005 White Sox went 11-1. The 2008 White Sox went 1-2. The 2010 Giants went 11-4 and the 2013 Dodgers have gone 3-1, so far. Uribe's teams have gone a collective 26-8 and in the 2005 and 2010 World Series, Uribe made huge, critical plays, as he did tonight for the Dodgers.

Great insight and account of a game that I was unable to watch. Thanks for the coverage.
Oct 08, 2013 08:47 AM
A 6 inning sample "proved" that the best pitcher in baseball is more than adequate on short rest?
Oct 08, 2013 09:01 AM
The concept of a "save" along with the requisite set-up man resulted in the best Braves pitcher standing in the bullpen while Carpenter faced the Puig/Uribe duo so that Kimbrel could face the 8th hitter, a pinch hitter and the leadoff hitter in the 9th. Shouldn't it have been the other way around?
Oct 08, 2013 11:13 AM
The idea that once Kimbrel comes into the game to start the eighth, he still has to pitch the entire ninth is absurd. Even if he comes in in the eighth, he could pitch to one or two batters in the ninth. the next guy could enter with one or two out and no one on and have a relatively easy "save."
Oct 08, 2013 11:33 AM
What would be "relatively easy" about coming on in the ninth, with the top of the Dodgers' order up, in a hostile environment, with a one-run lead, and having not closed a game all season?
Oct 08, 2013 11:38 AM
Story has it wrong: bad news for the Braves is that Brian McCann out down two fingers when he only should have put down one. How any Major League catcher can choose to speed up Uribe's bat when his pitcher is throwing 97mph is beyond me. The only fault with the manager is for not insisting on calling the pitches, because his catcher is clearly incapable of doing so. This was a matter of execution, not strategy.

There might be a case here, as hard as Carpenter throws, but it's worth noting that Uribe was 16-for-92 (.174) with 26 strikeouts versus right-handers' sliders coming into the game: http://www.brooksbaseball.net/h_tabs.php?player=346874&gFilt=&time=month&minmax=ci&var=ra&s_type=2&startDate=01/01/2013&endDate=10/06/2013&balls=-1&strikes=-1&b_hand=R.
Oct 08, 2013 12:15 PM
Yes, Daniel, but what are his numbers against hanging sliders? As an LA resident, I've watched plenty of Uribe for the last 3 years, he the perfect example of a mistake hitter. If a pitcher avoids mistakes, he gets Uribe out. With a rookie on the mound, high pressure situation, even if he throws 97 down the heart of the plate Uribe is not going to turn it around. There is a kernel of truth to most cliches, for a reason: if you're going to get beat, get beat with your best pitch. Carpenter throws gas, and the Braves are playing golf now because they got beat by a rookie throwing his 2nd best pitch. Carpenter could have done the job, but he needed a catcher who knew how many fingers to put down.
Oct 08, 2013 14:06 PM
Unfortunately for Atlanta, getting beat on pitches that aren't your best is an old story.
Oct 08, 2013 15:04 PM
Important note: Wohlers gave up that HR to Leyritz in the EIGHTH inning. He was asked to come in for a two-inning save, which he had not done all season.

Like I said, I think that's a good point. From McCann's perspective, it was probably a case of prioritizing Uribe's weakness—swinging at sliders below the zone and away—rather than Carpenter's strength, which was the wrong decision.
Oct 08, 2013 15:19 PM
In hindsight, I'm almost tempted to agree with you about calling for Kimbrel in the 8th BUT, I think that when considering that option most folks assume Kimbrel will be lights out for 2 straight innings, but how many times have we seen the letdown by the amped closer in his 2nd inning of work after putting out a fire--ok, maybe not so many because there are no more 6 out saves--but, given that even Kimbrel is mortal, we can't assume he'll be automatic for both innings.

Kershaw would be available then, Saturday? Game 2 instead of game 1 of the next series? If that means it's Greinke/Kershaw instead of Kershaw/Greinke to start the next series, I'd think most everyone in the Dodger camp would be okay with that.

Mercurial: Version 1.0 with Various Improvements
Version 1.0 of Mercurial, a distributed version control system, has just been released.
The software is mainly written in Python and does not need a central repository server. The current release includes a variety of new features, including easier installation, a revamped merge tool configuration and improved management of copied and renamed files.
There is also some news on the command front: the bundle now supports the "--all" option to bundle the whole repository. There is also a new option for the log command: "-b" or "--only-branch" tells log to display the revisions for a single branch. On top of this, the developers have accelerated the revert process.
The churn extension which graphically represents the number of lines modified per user and file now has official Mercurial extension status, compared to its previous contrib status. On top of this, there is a new Inotify extension that uses the Linux kernel 2.6 Inotify API to check file status on each change.
The Mercurial project Wiki page has a complete list of changes. Mercurial 1.0 is available under the GPLv2 as a source code archive.

Essential Info
Laws of Seeing
This classic work in vision science, written by a leading figure in Germany's Gestalt movement in psychology and first published in 1936, addresses topics that remain of major interest to vision researchers today. Wolfgang Metzger's main argument, drawn from Gestalt theory, is that the objects we perceive in visual experience are not the objects themselves but perceptual effigies of those objects constructed by our brain according to natural rules. Gestalt concepts are currently being increasingly integrated into mainstream neuroscience by researchers proposing network processing beyond the classical receptive field. Metzger's discussion of such topics as ambiguous figures, hidden forms, camouflage, shadows and depth, and three-dimensional representations in paintings will interest anyone working in the field of vision and perception, including psychologists, biologists, neurophysiologists, and researchers in computational vision—and artists, designers, and philosophers.
Each chapter is accompanied by compelling visual demonstrations of the phenomena described; the book includes 194 illustrations, drawn from visual science, art, and everyday experience, that invite readers to verify Metzger's observations for themselves. Today's researchers may find themselves pondering the intriguing question of what effect Metzger's theories might have had on vision research if Laws of Seeing and its treasure trove of perceptual observations had been available to the English-speaking world at the time of its writing.
About the Author
Wolfgang Metzger (1899-1979) was a central figure in the Gestalt movement within psychology in Germany. He was Director of the Psychological Institute at the University of Münster.
"An excellent book, with a wealth of inspiring demonstrations and insights. The translators must be thanked for making it available to the English-speaking world.", Perception, Arni Kristj
"This is a classic work in the Gestalt tradition of visual perception, and many of the issues Metzger touched upon continue to be major themes in current research. The translation is very well done."
Pawan Sinha, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, MIT
"Laws of Seeing will inspire both beginning students and serious researchers in psychophysics, neurophysiology, and computational modeling in their search for a better understanding of why we see the way we do. The text is illustrated by numerous figures demonstrating to the reader how Gestalt factors work in the laboratory and in nature. This masterpiece should be read not as history, but as a beacon for future research."
John S. Werner, Section of Neurobiology, Physiology & Behavior, University of California, Davis

So my boyfriend, a Coastie, just passed his MK3 test. I was so excited that he finally received what he deserved and worked so hard for that I forgot that he also has to change stations. Our original plan was that after I finished my AA degree at my local community college that I would move in with him and go to USF, but now he could end up anywhere. I have to choose whether or not to go with him or continue with my plans. I think it all comes down to me being scared. I'm scared to drop everything I have ever known to follow him and where would I go to school? How do you ladies deal with all of a sudden having to change your way of life? I'm not worried about our relationship not working out because we have discussed marriage and we know it is going to happen just not yet. Any advice?
Got any advice for her?

It is with great sadness that we announce the permanent closing, at its present location, of Ichabod's Tavern/Sleepy Hollow Banquets. When we opened, almost four years ago, we had the highest hope to be there for many years. We put our heart and soul into fixing the facility up and making it a friendly, welcoming and fun place to be. We met wonderful people and had great times. The lack of parking space, unfortunately, has put an end to our business. When we signed our lease back in 2008, we had no idea that the majority of land (that originally went with the Days Inn building) had been sold for development next door. For the first three years we were there we were still able to use the land and conduct a good business. But, when the curb went in dividing the land so we couldn't use it anymore, we had problems that couldn't be resolved. There is not enough available parking space for us to bring in enough business to keep the place running. We tried, as best we could, to work around it. But, we finally came to the conclusion that nothing was going to happen to change the situation and we made the very difficult decision the close the business.
We want to thank all of our loyal customers and friends for patronizing us. Hopefully, we will be able to find a new location and reopen. Until then, we'll miss you!

Without a linux demo i cant buy this game.... I want to make sure i can run this! :((
Trine is a beautiful fantasy action platformer with a fairytale-like atmosphere, following the journey of three heroes - a Wizard, a Knight and a Thief - in a quest to save the kingdom from evil. The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics - each character's different abilities and tactics can be used to invent new ways to battle an army of undead and overcome obstacles, and restore the balance of the world.

Wolfire's indie game pack, The Humble Indie Bundle is back with 5 games from Frozenbyte. As per usual there will be no DRM and we are humbled that Desura will again be helping to distribute the purchased games!
You can pay what you want and even donate part of it to help charity (Electronic Frontier Foundation and Child's Play). The big titles included are:
All of the games but Jack Claw will be release for Linux, Mac and Windows. But the Jack Claw source code will be published, so there are good chances that it gets ported by the community.
Without a linux demo i cant buy this game.... I want to make sure i can run this! :((
Amazing Game. Can't wait to play Trine 2.
I'm kind of curious wether a demo for the Linux platform will be released?
Curious... will Trine 2 be distributed on Desura? If so, when? (not a specific date, rather, when in relation to broader release, a.k.a. Steam)
For Linux? If so, when? (again, relative date, but this time, relative to the windows release).
Thank you for the lovely, and immensely entertaining, original Trine! It feels & plays like a labor of love, and has so many nice small details that it does truly feel immersive, atmospheric, etc. Ari Pulkkinen's composition does contribute greatly to that detail and immersive nature. The final level does feel a bit like a labor of sadism, but that too is atmospheric ;-)
To that end (while discussing wild flights of fancy)... any update on the mythical, legendary, undocumentable, whispered-of-in-back-rooms, mod building kit for the Trine game engine? Joel, Lauri, any comment would be appreciate (esp. if it is "yes, we're bringing it all! everything you asked, it is coming, yes!") ...
This game is awesome! One of the best games I've played on linux!
Unfortunately, the current release has a very annoying bug: the progress is not saved.
The problem seems to be due to the fact that the directory "save" is created with the first letter capitalized ("Save").
To resolve the problem, just create the directory "save" manually:
mkdir -p ~/.frozenbyte/trine/profiles/default/save
@leinardi please report that!
This is amazing game! But wait, this not a game - this is beautiful art!
Very addictive game. 9/10
it says "Players -- Single & Multiplayer"
but i cant find Multiplayer button.
can i play this game with friends over internet ?
No, I am afraid, you cannot. Frozenbyte said many times that Trine supports co-operative player in offline mode only (i.e. several players playing on one pc).
Highest Rated (5 agree) 9/10
Trine was fun, one of the few newer games that I actually completed =P. I haven't tried the co-op splitscreen mode yet, but I will during my second playthrough. It's a really beautiful platform game where you will solve different types of puzzles with different character, who has different abilities. There's some bonuses along the way that I like, find hidden items for example, gives you another reason to replay. Good Game!

Try This: Mirror The Back Of Your Shelves
The other day, breakfasting at La Mill in Silverlake, we noticed this shelving across the room. Reflecting the light from the window, it caught our attention even on a gray day...
Mirroring the back of your shelves immediately lightens them up. If they're near a window, even better. Even ordinary objects become interesting when they find their double in a mirror.
5 Comments
How is there breakfast? is it better than Auntie Ems in Eagle rock?
We put mirrored plexiglass in the back of a big overbearing glass-doored china cabinet -- now it's bright & light & sparkly. Plexi is cheap, light, easy to cut, and easy to attach, and its scratchability isn't an issue in the back of a cabinet.
Silver Lake
sorry. pet peeve.
In Ireland you see this an awful lot in pubs, behind the bar with bottles of spirits on the shelves.
I really like this idea. I have a big upper cabinet in my kitchen that needs a door-ectomy. With some painted shelves and a nice mirrored back, I think it would look great. It faces a huge, south-facing window, so I think it would reflect quite a bit of light.

On vault, the Scarlet Knights continued their trend of rewriting the records, posting a team score of 48.600, the second-highest score in program history behind the record of 48.825 (2/12/00). Senior Kristen Marino (Hillsborough, NJ), the EAGL Specialist of the Week, scored a 9.850 on vault to finish tied for seventh overall. Her mark was the second highest in program history, just 0.025 shy of the career mark set by Rachael Ciarlante (1997-2000). Freshmen Jamye Shelton (Griffin, GA) and Erin Lynch (Mullica Hill, NJ) tied for 11th place with a 9.725. ASU's Maggie Germaine scored a 9.950 to tie with Cal's My-Lan Dodd for first place on vault.
On bars, the Scarlet Knights were led by sophomore Sveta Shterenberg's (Sharon, MA) eighth-place finish with a 9.775. Sophomore Stephanie Zick (Pittsburgh, PA) placed ninth on bars with a 9.725, while senior Kamla Modi (Bayside, NY) took 10th with a 9.700. Ashley Ellsberry of Arizona State won the event with a 9.975, followed closely by her teammate Ashley Kelly in second with a 9.950.
Junior Lisa Abrams (Mt. Ephraim, NJ) was the top Knight on beam, tying for ninth place with a 9.775. Shterenberg finished with a 9.750 in 12th, with junior Caitlin Wight (Washington, PA) in 13th with a 9.700. In a four-way tie for first place with scores of 9.950 were Cal's Miho Maeda and ASU's Ellsberry, Germaine and Kelly.
Leading the floor rotation for Rutgers was sophomore Nicci Bradder (Dover, NH), who posted a 9.825 to tie for ninth place. Wight and Lynch rounded out the top three Scarlet Knights in the event, with Wight in 12th (9.775) and Lynch in 13th (9.750). Ellsberry took the floor crown for the Sun Devils, scoring a 9.975.
Shterenberg, RU's lone all-around competitor, recorded a personal best of 38.850
overall to finish fifth out of six all-arounders. Kelly won the
all-around for ASU, scoring a 39.750, followed by Cal's Dodd with a 39.675.
Rutgers will return for its final home meet of the season on Saturday, March
8, at 1 p.m. The Knights will host Michigan State, Yale and Brown in the

To all- I am away on vacation this week. Tune in next week. Same cutter channel, same cutter time. Happy Easter to all!
To all- I am away on vacation this week. Tune in next week. Same cutter channel, same cutter time. Happy Easter to all!
Router Bit Ray:
I would like to welcome you to the show Miss Collet. I understand you would like to have your chance at a brief rebuttal from my last interview with Mr Ballnose.
Miss Collet:
Yes. Thank you Ray. After reading your last interview I felt that I had to talk with you immediately.
Router Bit Ray:
Fire away. That's what I am here for. Equal Time.
Miss Collet:
For one thing I would like to say that in the beginning my relationship with Mr. Ballnose was unbeatable. Cutting away with ease. Extracting chips was always in an upward direction always leaving a mint and smooth cut. Yet as time went on in the 500th hour, things started to slip away.
Router Bit Ray:
Go on
Miss Collet:
Well. I honestly felt used towards the end. Mr Ballnose was getting all the credit for the final product where in the end we were really both a team. (tears began to fill her eyes)
Router Bit Ray:
(Being the sensitive man I am, I offer Miss Collet a tissue and a small hug of encouragement.)
Miss Collet:
Thank you Ray. There are not too many like you. All cutters are pigs!!!!
Router Bit Ray:
I beg to differ on your cutter opinion. I happen to love all cutters. They are my bread and butter. No use for the dull ones however.
Miss Collet:
Sorry, I have been too emotional sometimes recently (Sob, Sob)
Router Bit Ray:
What can be done to help you out.
Miss Collet:
All I need is a little respect.
Router Bit Ray:
(No Response)
Sorry, I may be sentimental yet my dry sense of humor tends to offend sometimes. I don't mean this to happen, it just does. Enough about me. Go on.
Miss Collet:
Miss Collet:
Thank you. All I ask is to be cleaned after each tool change and not with with a petroleum based lubricant as it will ony act as a magnet for all the dirt and dust and speaking for all collets it gets pretty messy. Check for any abrasions or markings and change me often. This will give you longer tool life and a better cut in the long run.
Sometimes I am misunderstood yet my feelings are very temperamental. A clean collet is a happy collet. It is not always about the cutter. Talk to Ms. Toolholder. She will back me up on that.
Router Bit Ray:
Thank you Miss Collet. I wish we had more time yet I have to keep my interviews at a minimum. No one likes to read these days. Too much multui-tasking with nothing really getting done if you know what I mean. But that is a different subject for a different time and blog. I hope you got your opinion in the way you wished.
Miss Collet:
I thank you for the opportunity. I still have much to defend myself against Mr. Ballnose. Maybe another time.It was a pleasure. Please remember me and all collets are vitally important for a nice cut.
Router Bit Ray:
I will. I promise. I am not that kind of guy. Till next time.
Router Bit Ray:
Welcome to the show Mr. Ballnose cutter
Mr. Ballnose cutter:
Hello nice to meet you!
Router Bit Ray:
I am glad you took time out to speak to us. Can you give a brief history of your life
Mr. Ballnose cutter:
Well I was always a smooth kind of guy. I was always rounding off things as a kid. Hated sharp corners. My mom would always make me stay straight and narrow during my adolescence. I would not just round off my numbers in math class but also my bedroom dresser. I was part of a bowling team in high school which did not last too long. Always went for the gutter ball.
Router Bit Ray:
Very funny.
Mr. Ballnose cutter:
My first job was in a sign making company located in Ronkonkoma, N.Y. All of the signs made there were very nice however I recommended adding more detail by smoothing out and adding a little detail. At first all the chips were hitting me in my face yet when I converted my religion to an upcut spiral I started to expel the chips outward and quick. After the company saw this I was promoted and found my calling in life.
Router Bit Ray:
I would think your career decision was a very good one.
Mr. Ballnose cutter:
Oh yes. Now I am used for carving, decorative doors and foam cutting. The foam is what I love the most. Smooth cutting and a long life of easy routing. Not a very dense material yet a nice break.
Router Bit Ray:
How about your experience with other materials?
Mr. Ballnose cutter:
I graduated to soft and hard woods, composites, soft and hard plastics even aluminum and solid surface.
Router Bit Ray:
What are the undesirable aspects of your job?
Mr. Ballnose cutter:
Most definitely when I am not cleaned off after I am removed from my very good friend Miss. Collet. We have a very strong relationship yet when we are both not cleaned up after working together we can really rub against each other. When this happens things start to slip and nothing goes right. Sometimes I actually break and I need replacement which can put all of us in a jam. By this I mean myself, Miss Collet, my boss and worst thing our customer.
Router Bit Ray:
The customer does really matter most. We are running out of time because this was meant to only be a quick interview. One more question. Are you and Miss Collet still getting along?
Mr. Ballnose cutter:
I am a Happy bachelor which is what I prefer. I get in a new collet relationship every 400-500 hours of working time. I can't stand when I see those nasty abrasions and chip dust build up on the inside of a collet. They look old and used. Sure I have the same thing happen to me. I know life is not fair yet the router bits tend to age better. Almost like a "good wine with age" the cliche says. I'm not a chauvinist just a realist.
Router Bit Ray:
Well thank you for your time. I hope you enjoyed the interview.
Mr. Ballnose cutter:
Thanks it was a good one. Went real smooth!
Here is a feed and speed chart for CNC routing. This will guide you to setting up the proper feed rates when cutting various materials.
The router bit is the weakest part of the routing system. When it breaks it is usually the first thing that gets the blame, which does not always hold true. Tool breakage can be attributed to three factors.
1. Improper tool selection
2. Poorly maintained equipment (Collets, collet nuts, spindle bearings etc.)
3. Poor fixturing
One should examine the shank of each tool after every tool change. Look for "collet burn". This will show as brownish, burn marks on the shank of your tool. I recommend changing your collets every 400-500 hours of operating time.
Also try to use a tool with no step down. What I mean by this is keep the shank diameter and the cutting edge dia the same as much as possible. As this will give you more rigidity and less chance of snapping in half. This is not always possible yet should be implemented.
Another common error is excessive cutting edge length. Use the shortest cutting edge length to achieve depth of cut. Many shops try to save money by using one bit for different thicknesses of materials and end up breaking a bit when going with an extremely long cutter on very thin material.
What a excellent sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All ER32 and ER25 Collets normally $39.95 are priced at $16.95 each
Take time out and Visit http://www.techno-isel.com/tooling/Accessories.htm for details.
This week I am releasing a sale on our collets. It will be a 2 week special and all size collets will run for $16.95 each. Including metric. I feel it would be a good way for anyone to stock up on collets because the run time is typically 400-500 hours run time. If you change your collets on a regular basis this will enhance tool life and protect your spindle at the same time.
Here is a great article on caring for your collets which will be beneficial to anyone who desires a high quality cut and finish they desire.
Collet toolholders are too important to the machining process to use them incorrectly. Follow this simple advice.
The way a collet was designed to be used usually differs from the way that collets are used in practice. This is unfortunate given the critical role that collets play. A collet is the wedge between the toolholder and the cutting tool. This wedge, not the toolholder itself, is what does the actual tool holding. By gripping and positioning the tool, the collet determines both clamping force and runout, and therefore it can also determine the very ability of the process to produce a good part. Improving how well collets are used and cared for is an easy way for the shop to make better use of its tools. This article offers some simple advice.
Perhaps the simplest advice of all relates to the detail that is most often overlooked: cleaning. Collets are coated in a thick, rust-prohibitive oil before they are packed and shipped. This heavy coating may be great at preserving the collet, but it's horrible to leave on during use. The oil reduces gripping force and may also affect runout.
To remove the protective coating, spray collets with a thin cleaning oil, such as WD40. Usually, the collet can then just be dried with a towel.
If the collet has been in use for a while, it may have picked up deposits on its tapered areas. The deposits can be the result of dirt in the toolholder, workpiece material getting into the collet cavity, dirty coolant or even the burning of any oil that was left on the collet's surface. When trying to remove one of these deposits, avoid implements that will remove or deform the collet's metal. A simple, lightweight brass brush is probably the best cleaning tool to use. This can be used with or without a cleaning agent. If the deposit can't be removed this way, then it's time to replace the collet. Foreign matter on the collet that is big enough to see will affect how well the collet performs.
Clean the inside of the collet as well. The same light oil such as WD40 also works here. After cleaning, visually inspect the ID for any debris or signs of damage.
Finally, clean the slots. The slots provide the collet with its ability to collapse and hold the tool, so anything inside a slot that gets in the way of this collapse will reduce the clamping force and increase runout. Thoroughly clear the slots of debris using a thin metal or plastic blade.
After cleaning the collets, check them for signs of misuse. This inspection takes only a moment and can usually be done during the toolholder assembly process. Here are the signs to look for:
Is there a gouge around the nose of the collet? This means the collet and nut have been assembled incorrectly. The collet can't be fixed once it has been damaged this way.
Is there a deep line around the collet gage line? This indicates the tools have not been inserted to the minimum depth required for clamping.
Has the collet lost roundness? Either in the hole or around the outside form?
Are there burrs on the collet?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then replace the collet.
After cleaning and visual inspection, proper assembly of the toolholder is the next important step. There are various ways that even a good collet can contribute to poor runout because of some aspect of the toolholder assembly. Here are the most common problems my company has seen:
1. Improper collet-to-nut assembly. In an incorrect assembly, the collet is placed in the holder first, then the nut is clamped on. In a correct assembly (pictured in the photo at the beginning of this article), the collet goes into the nut first, then the tool is inserted and then the nut is screwed onto the holder. The incorrect assembly can cause runout as high as 0.001 inch.
2. Not inserting the tool deep enough into the collet. For every collet there is a rated minimum tool depth. If the tool is clamped in place at a more shallow depth than this, runout will occur as the collet deforms incorrectly.
3. Over-tightening the nut. Turning the nut too tightly will also deform the collet in a way that leads to poor runout.
4. A bad pull stud. The pull stud, or retention knob, is screwed in at the end of the toolholder's taper. In a case where this stud or knob was worn, the author has seen a runout of 0.001 inch. Replacing the stud (and making no other change than this) brought runout down to 0.0001 inch.
So much for the possible causes of poor runout. What can the user do to actually improve the collet toolholder's performance? Here are some tips:
1. First, clean the assembly—not just the collet, but also the nut and holder.
2. Put a light coat of oil on the outside of the collet. There should be enough oil to coat the collet, but any excess is too much. The purpose is just to reduce any friction between the collet and the toolholder when the collet is pushed into the cavity. A collet that slides more easily lets the nut apply more of its torque toward pushing collet into the holder and closer to the centerline. The result is better runout and higher clamping force.
3. Make sure at least 2/3 of the collet's gripping surface is used. If the tool is not inserted to the collet's minimum depth, then an improper deformation of the collet will lead to runout. Failing to use the correct depth will also fail to capture the amount of shank required for the collet to achieve its intended gripping force.
4. Make sure the tool isn't pushing against a metal backup screw. Some holders provide this screw as an adjustment aid to set the tool length. This screw can get in the way of holding the tool as securely as possible. The problem arises when the collet is free to move slightly during toolholder assembly, but the tool is constrained against this screw. The resulting friction between the moving collet and the stationary tool can reduce the clamping force. Our studies have shown that it can reduce the force by up to 50 percent.
5. Using a tool with a Weldon flat can also bring about a lower clamping force. While a tool with a Weldon flat can indeed be used in a collet, the tool will see less clamping force by up to 30 percent—or just about the same area that the flat takes up along the clamping length.
6. When tightening the nut, torque down on it only to the value specified for this nut. Use a quality torque wrench to observe this limit. Exceeding the torque does not provide more clamping force; it just leads to runout. In fact, the more force is applied, the more the top of the collet wants to twist with the nut. Too much force can actually twist the collet's top, deforming the collet, which will increase runout and reduce clamping force.
7. Avoid this collet-twisting phenomenon by using a nut that reduces the friction between the nut and collet. Different varieties of nuts achieve this low friction using an impregnated coating, a ball bearing or a friction bearing.
Collet toolholders are ineffectively used in many shops. By following all of the advice above, a shop can realize greater holding strength and better precision from its collet toolholders than what many shops are able to achieve.

Kitchen Tour: Joan & Jim's Jolly Kitchen
Joan and Jim have been cooking in their charming kitchen for over forty years. The space practically glows with the history of wholesome family meals and cackling laughs amongst old friends. It's also the site of many curious objects — of the beautiful, silly, vintage and strange variety.
Joan and Jim live in the hills of Santa Barbara, California, in a Spanish-style home with lots of natural light and a luscious garden. From the vantage point of the kitchen sink, one can take in the Old growth oak trees and a myriad of succulent plants. It's a gorgeous room within an equally lovely setting. Joan is a remarkable cook, often serving fruit pies with the recipient's name emblazoned across the top surface, cut carefully from the dough as well as meat balls the size of your head. Her Midwestern upbringing provides the backbone to most of her meals, an unusual and delightful change of pace form the Southern California focus on salad, salad and more salad.
The kitchen we see here today has as much style as it does functionality. A collection of fire orange Le Creuset pots are put to use on a daily basis for soups and braises, as well as whimsical vintage wine glasses for swishing lemonade and wine. The humor of the owners is visible in quirky items such as a an old first aid kit (nothing in it, just a fabulous tin box!), a plastic frog resting by the kitchen sink, goofy spoons and original, comical artwork hanging around. This is a fabulous place for cookery, a kitchen where if you come around often, you may be lucky enough to feast on a perfectly roasted chicken followed by a peach pie with your name on it.
10 Questions for Joan and Jim (and Their Kitchen)
1. What inspires your kitchen and your cooking?
Inviting 6 – 8 close friends and colleagues who likewise engage the delights of preparing and consuming and exclaiming over home–based cooking efforts.
2. What is your favorite kitchen tool or element?
A small slotted spatula with rippled bend between the spat and handle; a gift from my childhood friend, a terrific cook plus discussant of excellent cuisine.
3. What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen?
For what occasion I remember naught, I presented a magnificent whole salmon, prepared in a proper 'made–in–France' fish poaching casserole — an elongated, metal diamond vessel with fitted lid that is lovely in of itself.
4. The biggest challenge in your kitchen:
My stove has only one oven, but thanks be to the gods it has a separate broiler.
5. Is there anything you wish you had done differently?
Wish I'd thought to insert a food warming tray in the middle of the oval, wood topped counter that stands in the middle of our kitchen. Where I frequently serve dinner, country–style, as guests gather round to load their plates.
6. Biggest indulgence or splurge in the kitchen:
A beautiful wood paneled ceiling.
7. Is there anything you hope to add or improve in your kitchen?
An astounding new–age, eco efficient, built in second oven.
8. How would you describe your cooking style?
As from scratch as possible, but with a busy family lifestyle we try and keep it in perspective if we can't get the tomatoes put up some years.
9. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received:
From a fabulous cook, a French friend and neighbor: don't over use seasonings to dress up food; avoid conflicting seasonings in dishes prepared for same meal; recognize spices from smell as well as how they combine with ingredients.
10. What are you cooking this week?
I want to make a buttermilk pie variously called Chess Pie or Transparent Pudding; plus an aromatic, deeply satisfying, winter–beef–stew.

It looks like a kitchen you want to hang out in! Cozy and personal.
Of all the kitchen tours I've ogled here on thekitchn, this one by far is my favorite. What an inspiration!
The stove looks like my parents' stove, but it had two ovens and two broilers. If this one doesn't have two ovens, what is the other side for?
Kudos to Joan and Jim! Their kitchen is not only adorable, but has SOUL. Love it.
@ aaakid - I used to have an older stove like that as well and assumed it had double ovens. Imagine my disappointment upon moving in when I realized that the other side was just storage.
At the time, a friend imagined my chagrin: "I don't understand it. I've had this steak in the drawer for 45 minutes and it's still raw!"
Fantastic tour of a *real* kitchen! My favorite images are the wabi-sabi wooden spoon and the well-used, rubber banded cookbooks with their duct taped bindings. Now this is someone who cooks! Thank you, Leela!
Words cannot express how much I love this kitchen!
Give me a kitchen with history, smells, stains....so tired of the high end shelter mags kitchens. This is perfect....where I want to sit down IN the kitchen as a meal is being prepared. Great post.
I'm a little grouchy today so pardon me, but I have been bothered by this awhile - it's 10 questions for Joan and Jim "about" their kitchen, not "and" their kitchen. You are not asking the kitchen any questions.
Awesome! This is such a warm, welcoming kitchen - it feels full of family history and the memory of a thousand delicious meals. Love love love!
Thank you Leela!
This kitchen is not my style... I'm not a minimalist but I am more streamlined in my style. All this does not mean I don't appreciate a kitchen different than my own. This kitchen has soul and is a beautiful expression of it's owners. We all aspire to have kitchens that convey our personality and spirit.
I love the shelf over the stove!!! This place is my cuppa tea.
What an amazing kitchen! I'd love to see the rest of their house...I bet it's fantastic.
What a wonderful kitchen! Full of personality and history, a place where it is obvious a true cook lives.
love this kitchen, and love Joan. she looks fun!

So yeah, any ideas?
I'm not usually one to pounce on people for posting duplicate threads. But there was literally a thread towards the top of the front page of this section labeled "Anatomy Text"
Oh....sorry |'D I didn't read that thread XD

Following the Queen's Speech on 9 May where the Queen set out
the government's proposals with respect to the pensions
environment, we have has a number of people emailing and ringing to
ask how this will affect them. There follows a short summary
of some of the key pension issues discussed.
State pensions
Advent of flat rate state pensions
The Queen's Speech outlined plans for legislation that will
overhaul the state pension system for new pensioners. The
current state pension is £107.45 a week for those with a
complete National Insurance record, and can be topped up to
£137.35 with pension credit. This may be replaced by a
new £140 flat rate.
The flat-rate pension might only be available for new pensioners
reaching state pension age on or after the date the new system is
brought it, rather than the millions of existing pensioners.
This could create a two-tier system of state pension.
Increase in state pension age
The state pension age will rise to 66 for both men and women by
2020. The Queen's Speech outlined plans to increase the state
pension age further to 67 between 2026 and 2028 - affecting those
aged 52 or younger now.
The speech also signalled government plans for this state
pension age to continue to rise automatically in line with
longevity. This could be done either through a formula linking
pension age to average life expectancy, or through a regular
official review.
Public sector pensions
The Queen's Speech confirmed the government's intention to
proceed with the controversial reform of public sector
pensions. Measures include:
The government says this will make public sector pensions
sustainable, with costs shared 'more fairly' between employers,
workers and taxpayers.
There are a number of ways to contact us.

The Word: Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones separate
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have separated, according to People. They haven't been spotted together in months — they've traveled separately, walked the red carpet solo and even gone on separate vacations with their kids. Now sources say it's because they've decided to take a break.
The couple have had a rocky road over the last few years: Douglas battled throat cancer, while Zeta-Jones underwent treatment for bipolar disorder. "The stress has taken a toll on their marriage," the source said.
The couple has yet to file for divorce, and friends are hopeful that they may yet reconcile. "They want the best for their kids, no matter what happens," a friend says.
Michael Douglas, star of "Behind the Candelabra," is a survivor of stage four throat cancer, and he has an unusual explanation for how he contracted it. He claims it comes from performing oral sex.
"Without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV [human papillomavirus], which actually comes about from cunnilingus," Douglas told the Guardian.

Furniture firm's Life Improvement Project encompasses furniture and community service.
Do you feel as if your life could use some improvement? We all certainly see a need for improvement in the lives around us.
Ikea thinks it can help.
The Swedish furniture retailer has just unveiled a new advertising campaign that includes The Life Improvement Project. The store also is adopting a new slogan, "The Life Improvement Store."
We didn't know you could buy life improvement at a store, but we're willing to go window shopping.
Fall loyalty offers reward bonus points -- but there are strings attached.
This Deal of the Daycomes fromKelli B. Grantat partner site SmartMoney.
The kids are in school, the skies are gray, and hotel room rates are rising. Could there be a worse time to travel?
Perhaps a free night's stay would convince you otherwise. Or reimbursement of those pesky checked-bag fees. And how about triple rewards points to sweeten the deal? A flock of hotel chains is offering these promotions and more to lure reluctant travelers into the shoulder season.
Great deals can be found on new cars. Here's where to look, along with buying tips that could save you thousands.
This post comes from Michael Koretsky at partner site Money Talks News.
If you're in the market for a new vehicle, bad news for car dealers can mean good news for you.
Last month was the "worst August for U.S. auto sales since 1983," according to an Associated Press report, prompting dealers to offer bigger incentives for new-car sales.
Companies use behavioral economics to squeeze our wallets. And, sadly, they're on the bleeding edge of research.
This guest post comes from Pop at Pop Economics.
You might have heard about all those little tweaks government officials have thought about implementing in order to make you healthier and save more. You could have companies automatically enroll employees in a 401k plan, rather than have them opt in, for example. Companies that have implemented that little change have seen 401k participation jump to 93% from 76%.
- Quick quiz: Estimate your credit score
But, of course, the very best behavioral economic "parlor tricks" aren't all used for good. In fact, it's often the marketing departments of consumer goods companies that implement new research the fastest. Here are a few to look out for.
Thieves may have targeted one 'friend' who announced his vacation online. Be judicious, but good locks are more important.
Reports that a burglary ring in New Hampshire targeted 50 homes and netted up to $200,000 in stolen goods after reading Facebook status updates that the owners would be away have been greatly exaggerated.
- Quick quiz: 10 questions to estimate your credit score
One home might have been targeted that way. Or maybe two.
A ring apparently did burglarize at least 18 homes, but most were chosen the old-fashioned way -- by keeping an eye on the neighborhood and pinpointing houses where no one was home and that were easy to enter. And the home that was chosen because of a Facebook posting that the owner would be away? Well, it seems as if the thief was a "friend" of the victim. Some friend.
Removing footwear makes carpet and flooring last longer. It also keeps you from tracking in some nasty stuff.
Wish I had a piece of the hosiery industry in Anchorage, where you remove your footwear after you enter someone's house. Knowing you'll be unshod regularly means making sure your feet are decently covered.
Once when I was an Anchorage Daily News reporter I took off my shoes at an interviewee's home and discovered a rent in one sock. It's hard to look professional when your big toe has its eye to the peephole.
Obviously Alaska is not the only place where indoor shoe-wearing is frowned upon. People in other cultures live this way too -- and so, increasingly, do U.S. residents, as a quick Internet search indicates.
While some patients are skittish about it, doctor's visits over a computer are becoming more popular.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
In Maryland, an 87-year-old woman wakes up each morning and takes her blood pressure in her apartment by slipping her arm through a collar hooked up to a computer -- which sends the results straight to her doctor. In Utah, a family therapist meets online with a mother whose children are acting out and offers counseling. In Hawaii, a 59-year-old nurse with an infected cut on her arm sits at her computer to chat with a doctor and get a prescription for antibiotics.
Welcome to the future of medicine. For some of us, it's already here. But are the rest of us ready for it?
Journalist gives prepaid cards to street beggars to see how they spend the money.
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
Have you ever wondered what the panhandlers you see on the street would do if you actually gave them a bunch of money to spend?
Like many people, I generally give my pocket change to anyone who asks. I figure that if they have to ask, they probably need it more than I do. (Yes, I know that there are just as many folks who think this is ridiculous, and who never give anything to folks on the street. What can I say? The empathetic J.D. almost always gets his way over the logical J.D. Exception: I never give to aggressive panhandlers.)
Recently, The Toronto Star featured a fascinating article from Jim Rankin about a little experiment he conducted. He actually decided to give a few panhandlers more than just pocket change.

On FOX News last night, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani criticized President Obama's attitude toward violent Muslim extremism, insisting that the President had "institutionalized political correctness" throughout the security branch of government.
Giuliani said that Obama has a "worse than pre-9/11 mentality" suggesting that the president should recognize the threat of Islamic extremism and Jihad after the number of terrorist attacks on American soil.
"They're killing Americans for a purpose," he explained. "Not just for the heck of it. Not just because they're insane. There is a purpose to this, and if you don't recognize the purpose, it's very, very hard to detect them."
The former New York mayor added that recognizing the threat of radical Islamic members "does not demean in any way legitimate members of the Islamic religion."
"This is not just terrorism for terrorism's sake," Giuliani said. "This is terrorism for furthering the cause of Islamic extremism."

Iraq amends draft oil and gas law
Iraq has made some amendments to its long-delayed oil law which is being reviewed by the cabinet's energy committee, Deputy Prime Minister Hussain al-Shahristani's office said.
Iraq has signed a series of oil contracts with international firms expected to boost its status as a global oil producer but investors have been waiting for the approval of a hydrocarbons law to provide a more solid legal framework for exploration.
"Iraq's energy committee headed by Deputy Prime Minister Hussain al-Shahristani discussed in its meeting on Thursday the revised draft of the oil and gas law which was submitted by the Oil Ministry," Shahristani's media office said in a statement released late on Thursday.
"The committee has decided to study the draft and submit the remarks in its next meeting which will be held next week."
No further details were given about what amendments had been made and officials were unavailable for comment.
Iraq's draft oil law was approved by the cabinet in 2007 but has faced opposition, mainly from the semi-autonomous Kurdish zone, which is locked in a dispute with Baghdad over sharing revenue and control over some fields in northern Iraq.
The law would decide who controls Iraq's vast oil reserves, the world's fourth-largest, and is also aimed at attracting foreign investment.
Iraq has set a goal of boosting production capacity to 12 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2017 from around 2.7 million bpd now.
The statement from Shahristani, who is responsible for Iraq's energy affairs, said Thursday's meeting had also been attended by Iraq's oil, electricity, water resources, science and technology and environment ministers.

Check to see if the account you are logged into on the remote machine has the required permissions to access the server in question. I've had cases where the user account for the Application had the needed permission, but that was trumpted by the access level allowed by the OS login account. The application said "yes" but the OS said "no"…the OS wins.
Good Luck
By granting access to the NT AUTHORITY account into your analysis server you can effectively granted everyone access to the SSAS database. This includes anyone who breaks into your network any tries to access the SSAS database.
The problem you are having is the NTLM double hop issue. This thread shows how to setup the systems to work around the double hop issue. If you can setup SSAS with a SQL Login instead of a Windows login (it's been a while since I've worked with SSAS security) then you can setup the SSRS report to log into the SSAS server using that login instead to get around the issue. I would definitely recommend removing the NT AUTHORITY login from the SSAS server ASAP.
