During the last 10 years or so there's been a lot of discussion about bullying and the impact it has on children's lives. The spotlight's grown brighter as increasing examples of children damaged by the taunts, social media harassment and physical and emotional abuse by peers makes headlines. Children have committed suicide, turned to alcohol and drugs, cut themselves, sought revenge, developed physical and mental illnesses because they can't deal with the stress that bullying brings.
A new study highlights the harm caused by bullying and finds that the effects can be long-term leading to problems such as illness, job difficulties and poor relationships with others.
Researchers assessed 1,420 people four to six times between the ages of 9 and 16, and then again when they were between ages 24 and 26.
They looked into the three categories of bullying: the person who is the bully, the person being bullied and a separate category – the bully-victim – one who is bullied and then turns to bullying others.
Interestingly, the bully-victim group had the greatest risk of health problems when they were adults. They were also over 6 times more likely to be diagnosed with a serious illness, smoke or have a psychiatric disorder than people not involved in bullying.
The study, published in the journal Psychological Science, noted that victims and bully-victims were more likely to be in the lower-income percentage of young adults.
The three groups showed no real difference in the likelihood of being married or having children, but did show signs of having difficulty forming relationships with other people, particularly when it came to maintaining long-term friendships or good ties with parents in adulthood.
The investigators accounted for childhood psychiatric problems and family hardships. They found that for the kids who did the bullying, there didn't seem to be much of an impact on their adulthood.
"Bullies appear to be children with a prevailing antisocial tendency who know how to get under the skin of others, with bully-victims taking the role of their helpers," study co-leader Dieter Wolke, of the University of Warwick, said in a journal news release.
"It is important to find ways of removing the need for these children to bully others and, in doing so, protect the many children suffering at the hand of bullies -- they are the ones who are hindered later in life," he added.
"We cannot continue to dismiss bullying as a harmless, almost inevitable, part of growing up," Wolke said. "We need to change this mindset and acknowledge this as a serious problem for both the individual and the country as a whole; the effects are long-lasting and significant."
While many schools are taking a zero tolerance approach to bullying, parents, professional counselors and dedicated peers are the keys to helping children who are being or have been bullied. Parents and peers can offer unconditional support and counselors can help children develop real life coping skills.
Kids need to feel like they can reach out for help. Too often it's the children who internalize their feelings that develop low-self value. It's terribly difficult for them to believe that they have the power to change how they respond to the cruelty of others.
And for those children who have been bullied and then become the ones who bully others, it's even more important to help them re-connect with their ability to be empathetic and compassionate. The dangers of long-term misplaced anger and uncontrolled rage are all too well known.
Seldom are these kinds of studies able to establish a direct cause and effect relationship and this study only shows an association between childhood bullying and serious health and social consequences in adulthood, but it's an important link that should be given our full attention.

AC/DC has long been a favorite for getting pumped before the big event, whether it be a night out on the town, or a professional sporting event. And with the band's launch on iTunes, those events—including that big board meeting—can be filled with even more metal. Click through to see our choices for the best AC/DC songs for the entrepreneurial mindset. iTunes
Now that AC/DC's song catalog is available on iTunes, here are five hard-rocking anthems from the 70s- and 80s-supergroup that form the perfect soundtrack to today's hyper-ambitious startup.
Fifteen years separate my boss and I, and yet we've got at least this one thing in common: we both occasionally rock-out to the kilt-wearing, school uniform bedecked frontmen of the Glasgow-Australian AC/DC. And after today's announcement that the band's entire repertoire is at long last available on iTunes, we can't help but think AC/DC might provide the best soundtrack for startups with the need for an adrenaline boost.
Songs from all 16 of the band's studio albums, four live albums, 3 compilations and two different encompassing collections today joined the ranks of The Beatles, Metallica, and Kid Rock who were among the last bands to hold out from letting their albums be broken down and sold piece-meal, occasionally just for fractions of a cent per download.
But with 26 million songs and over 20 billion song-downloads to date, the platform is increasingly becoming too big to ignore. (Click here to read how Spotify, which competes against iTunes, has generated increasing revenue while also suffering increasing loss.)
With hits like "Highway to Hell," AC/DC's music—in spite of some controversial lyrics—is a well-known favorite at football game half-time shows and professional pre-game locker rooms. But as many an entrepreneur will testify, the band's music can also serve to get the blood pumping before a board meeting, or set the perfect, high-energy mood to get ready for a hackathon or social media bonanza.
To help determine just the right mix of tunes to buy first from the iTunes store, here's the Upstart Business Journal's top five AC/DC songs for churning the heavy-metal machinery of your entrepreneurial mind.

The Mariposa Folk Festival got off to a surprisingly good start at Centre Island last night before a capacity audience of more than 5,000 fans. It was surprising because of the confusion which reigned at the docks at 7 p.m., an hour before the concert began. At that time, there was only one ferry in use and four times as many people as it could hold waiting to be transported to the island.

DNA samples are moved from one tray to another by the eight-needle apparatus at left. The Supreme Court ruled Thursday, June 13, 2013 that Myriad Genetics Inc. cannot patent the BRCA genes, which are tested to check a woman s risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Mutations in these genes are what led Angelina Jolie to have both her breasts removed because she had such a high cancer risk. Some experts think the court ruling may lead to lower cost testing because there could be more competition. (AP Photo/Douglas C. Pizac) ( Douglas C. Pizac )

New Technical Report on Measurement For Slip Resistance Registered With The American National Standards Institute
|Des Plaines, IL (January 28, 2008) — The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) recently registered a new technical report, Using Variable Angle Tribometers (VAT) for Measurement of the Slip Resistance of Walkway Surfaces (ANSI/ASSE TR-A1264.3-2007), submitted to ANSI by Subcommittee A1264.2 of the A1264 Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) of which the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) is secretariat. The technical report is due for publication in February.
A1264.2 subcommittee of the A1264 ASC Safety Standards for Floor and Wall Openings, Railings, and Toeboards and Fixed General Industrial Stairs developed this technical report to provide guidance for the performance of slip resistance testing of in-place walkway surfaces, such as sidewalks, catwalks in factories, grocery store floors and floors in commercial kitchens. The report covers the technical aspects, research, legislation, standards activities and operation of the two widely used VATs commercially available for testing of walkway surface slip resistance, the Brungraber Mark II and the English XL.
This technical report provides detailed information on the validity of the VAT class of slip meters, including how they work, how to operate them, recommended thresholds of safety and numerous precision and ruggedness studies performed, said Steven DiPilla, ARM, A1264.2 subcommittee chair and director, research and development at ESIS, Inc. It was developed to serve as another tool for safety professionals to use in accurately assessing the slip resistance of walkway surfaces so that effective improvements can be made when needed.
Since the withdrawal of two ASTM International standards for using VATs, there has been a need to give credence to the use of these devices in industry and the scientific community, said Keith Vidal, P.E., A1264 committee chair and president of Vidal Engineering, Inc. The new ANSI/ASSE technical paper provides guidance to industry, researchers, consumers and the legal community regarding the use of these devices so that they can be used in a standardized and scientific manner and as legitimately recognized safety tools.
According to ANSI procedures for technical report registration, technical reports may only be submitted for registration by an accredited standards developer, such as the A1264 ASC. All technical reports registered with ANSI must be entirely informative in nature and should not contain information implying that the report is a standard.
The A1264.2 Subcommittee operates under the auspices of the ANSI A1264 ASC and its accredited Standards Development Organization, ASSE. The goal of A1264.2 is to help reduce falls due to preventable conditions by providing guidelines and recommendations for the minimum performance requirements for increased safety on walking/working surfaces in the workplace.
Founded in 1911, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE is the largest and oldest professional safety organization and is committed to protecting people, property and the environment. Its more than 31,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professional members manage, supervise, research and consult on safety, health, transportation and environmental issues in all industries, government, labor and education.

During the 2013 legislative session, the CT General Assembly passed a bill that allows credit unions to offer savings promotion raffles – savings products that offer prizes in order to incent increased savings activity. Connecticut is the 8thstate to pass similar legislation, following in the footsteps of Nebraska, Rhode Island, Washington, North Carolina, Maryland, Maine, and Michigan.As financial institutions, you are acutely aware of the importance of savings as part of someone's financial portfolio.
The webinar will feature Doorways to Dreams Fund, a national non-profit that has been providing technical assistance, advice, and evaluation for PLS products around the country. In this webinar, we will cover:
- The basics of PLS
- Overview of Connecticut law
- Success/Impact in other states
- Implementation considerations/how-tos
Please join us for a great conversation. Attending this webinar is not considered to be an indication of commitment to offer the product – the goal of the meeting is to get a shared understanding of the opportunity, discuss options in Connecticut, and see what credit unions would like to explore a prize-linked savings product. Please share this invitation with any relevant staff or other credit union partners.
For more information about savings promotion raffles/prize-linked savings products, the experience in Michigan with Save to Win, and additional new research, please visit

Alan Goodman & Fred Seibert, MTV IDs 1981-83 from fredseibert on Vimeo.
Here's a compilation of the very first two years of MTV animated logos.
From the minute I went to work for Bob Pittman (he was 25, I was 27) at the Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment Company in May of 1980, he told me about the company's plan for a television channel that would be exclusively rock videos and how he envisioned the TV equivalent of radio jingles: network identifications ('IDs') short, wacked out pieces of animation that would reveal the network logo. Not like the staid CBS Eye ("You're watching CBS.") but rock'n'roll wrapped up into a little picture explosion.
As soon as we started working on what would become MTV: Music Television a month later I started thinking about these IDs and realized they could be the album covers of the new generation of music fans. For baby boomers the album cover came of age with the first American Beatles album representing every phase of their cultural development. I had bemoaned my lateness to that party, but my self-importance hoped the MTV network IDs could serve the same purpose.
Little did I know they'd achieve an almost equal prominence, and more. For me and Alan Goodman, my first partner in the enterprise (and countless more), they led the way for how we would become the first people to 'brand' American cable television networks throughout the 1980s. First as employees at MTV, then for our clients at Fred/Alan, we made over 1000 more of these 10-second visual operas for networks ranging from Nickelodeon and Comedy Central to TMTV in Japan and Lifetime. We worked with some of the greatest indie animators the world had to offer (some we're still doing projects with today) and started a lot of companies on their way. These IDs might have been the most fun I had during the years we were doing television branding. (And for me, inadvertendly, they began what was to become a late life career change into producing cartoons.)
Not for nothing, I need to stress the crucial role of Manhattan Design's innovative MTV logo on the amazing work of each and every designer, artist, and filmmaker involved in making these films. Not just for the years we were directly involved, but for the last three decades. Without the initial inspiration of their groundbreaking conception, no one would give a flying hoot about any design that's come out of MTV.
Update: I just got around to editing a new compilation of the IDs, using better quality video sources and adding more spots.

4/20. It's a great day to be high ... on life here at THG.
While the origins of 420 remain hotly debated, but no matter where the term came from, peeps associate it with smoking massive amounts of the marijuana!
So be it then. The 20th day of April has become a de facto holiday, and for good reason. What more of a justification do you need to celebrate than that?
With that in mind, The Hollywood Gossip salutes some famous individuals who have been known to puff the herb from time to time. Some even inhale ...
Soulja Boy. Soulja Boy's rep explains the above image, Tweeted this week, as being taken inside of a California marijuana dispensary earlier this month.
Soulja allegedly just wanted a pic and didn't try to buy any of it ... but the guy was also arrested recently with major amounts of weed, guns and cash.
Bobbi Kristina Brown. The worst thing about the Bobbi Kristina Brown bong video that recently surfaced? Few people were actually surprised by it.
After all, if anyone knows how to clear a three-foot piece with relative ease ... okay that was still pretty surprising. Girl needs to get some help ASAP.
Bill Clinton. As President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton presided over the largest peacetime economic expansion in American history.
But boy, was he a terrible liar. The Lewinsky debacle was technically worse (with perjury charges and all), but "I didn't inhale" was his most absurd moment.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-4.5 quake occurred at 9:33 a.m. Wednesday and was centered two miles northeast of the Orange County city of Yorba Linda, about 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
A magnitude-4.5 quake centered in the same area struck late Tuesday night. Both temblors were followed by numerous aftershocks that were mostly too small to be felt.
The Orange County Fire Authority said it did not receive any 911 calls about the latest quake.
Seismologist Kate Hutton of the California Institute of Technology characterized the quakes as a swarm.
The location is near the Whittier Fault, but she said the quakes could be occurring on an unmapped fault.

Things got a little sexy onstage when Drake and Nicki Minaj performed "Make Me Proud" on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, but they were caught making out backstage. An unnamed "SNL" cast member blew up their spot.
Where was Nicki's boyfriend Safaree when this went down? Is she cheating on him with Drake, or can she just blame it on the alcohol? Find out the rest of the details at MediaTakeOut.

Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Old Guy Great product/Great service The NAP Apache Micro Drop Away was exactly what I thought it would be and the service from Dick's Sporting Goods was great. March 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by NYSOutdoors Great rest.... BUT The rest is solid, all metal, has tool free adjustment, and looks great. It's extremely sturdy. I would say it is extremely better than the stock whisker biscuit that came with my 09 PSE brute. The bow technician at the DSG in Roosevelt Field did a great job installing it on my bow. I took it to the range for the first time last night and, the picture below speakes for itself. I need to re-fletch my arrows because I tore them up from shooting the arrows on top of each other at Queens Archery, ~25 yard indoor range. the first sets of holes in the picture were the group right before the second group. This was done after a 6 shot adjusting process to get the rest sighted in. It functioned flawlesslessly, and it's quiet, but I can't say that accuracy is because of only the rest. Maybe it's placebo, and I'm in fantastic physical condition right now, which certianly helps with accuracy. But I never shot two groups like that one right after the others. WHY I DIDNT GIVE IT 5 STARS: Ok so as an arrow rest this thing is perfect, and is reasonably priced. There is one flaw, which I'm not sure pertains to every bow but my PSE Brute has a shelf in the riser, and this rest is mounted low so that the arrow contacts the shelf and makes a lot of noise. I will cure that with some camo tape and it should resolve the issue. August 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by DradB NAP Apache Micro drop away arrow rest After installing the Apache micro I had the bow papper tuned. With that said there are two improvements. No fish tailing at all. My group at 40 yards is very close. 4 inches for those wh need to know. At 60 yards nearing 7 inches. The equipment is working well now I need more time with it. The rest is the perfect size for my Hoyt Rampage. The cameo patern matches well. My hunting season starts fairly soon, I will post again after the season with a much more indepth review. July 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by capt. dale AWESOME!!!!! this rest is awesome, it works great and is quite, helped me tighten up my groups, very well pleased with it April 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Chris NAP Apache Micro Drop Away Arrow Rest Just got my new NAP Apache Micro Drop Away Arrow Rest put on my bow and i am very happy with the speed the rest drops with and out of all the drop away rest I've used it is the quitest by far and the Micro Adjust makes it even better NAP got this rest right in the money.

Kurzweil CUP-2 Compact Upright Digital Piano
The Kurzweil CUP-2 Compact Upright Digital Piano offers a contradiction that most players will surely welcome - a top of the line, powerful sound system in what seems to be an impossibly small, discreet enclosure. Using the same chip technology as Kurzweil's acclaimed PC3 series, the CUP-2 brings professional studio sound quality into your home. The CUP-2's 88 onboard sounds have been taken directly from the PC3, and represent the best of nearly two decades of Kurzweil sound design and engineering.The famous Kurzweil Triple Strike Grand Piano is front and center (with a dedicated Grand Piano button), but the CUP-2 also provides world-class sounds in every category; rich strings and orchestral sounds, realistic electric pianos, drums, basses, guitars and synthesized sounds. While the CUP-2 leaves a very small footprint in any room, it can also fill any room, great or small, with spectacular concert hall sound quality with its 140-watt bi-amped speaker system, the same system used in Kurzweil's top-of-the-line X-Pro Upright.

LIMA, Jun 30 (Tierramérica).- The conflicts surrounding extractive industries in Peru could shift from the mountains to the jungles due to the rising number of concessions granted for the Amazonian regions of San Martín, Madre de Dios and Amazonas, with strong opposition from the indigenous communities."We will not allow any more oil or mining concessions in the indigenous territories," Shawi leader Alberto Pisango, president of AIDESEP, a coalition of native groups in the Peruvian jungle, told Tierramérica.From 2002 to June 2008, the portion of territory in Amazonas (north), San Martín (central) and Madre de Dios (east) granted to mining companies quadrupled, from 4.65 percent to 17.35 percent, according to the government's Mining and Metals Geological Institute.The region of Amazonas is in the lead, with concessions expanding from 1.17 percent of its territory six years ago to 7.6 percent today.In Madre de Dios, the increase was from 2.44 to 6.56 percent, while in San Martín it went from one percent to more than three percent in that period.The main operations are small Canadian companies that are conducting exploration to later negotiate their discoveries of precious metals with larger transnational corporations that focus on extraction, according to the non-governmental organization CooperAcción."Without a doubt there will be conflicts arising from these concessions, because from the environmental perspective it is a more sensitive zone than the mountains," José de Echave, head of CooperAcción's extractive industries campaign, told Tierramérica.Mining in Peru has long been centered in the Andes. Only in the 1990s did it expand to the Pacific coast, and in the last few years to the Amazon jungles."The mining industry is in a race for new ore deposits because from now on there are going to be more restrictions worldwide on this activity as a result of the effects of climate change, which is already on the global agenda," said De Echave. Environmental protection is playing an increasing role in government policy decisions about mining, although it competes with the interest of guaranteeing private investment. The mining companies want to make the most of the global hike in mineral prices. According to the economic news agency Bloomberg, between 2005 and 2006, the price of copper increased 111 percent, gold 42.5 percent, silver 65.5 percent, zinc 150 percent, lead 36.5 percent, and tin 15 percent.Mining represents 60 percent of Peru's exports. This country is the world's second leading producer of silver, fifth in gold, and third in copper and zinc.Keeping pace with this price boom is the growth of conflicts.According to the Office of the People's Defender (Ombudsman), in 2007 there were environmental conflicts in 40 percent of the mining zones. In May of this year it had reached 48 percent."It is likely that in the next 10 years the scenario of the conflict will be the Amazon, because the government does not provide guarantees that mining activity will respect the rights of the peasant and indigenous communities," said De Echave.Pisango, of AIDESEP, believes that one of the main reasons behind the tensions is that the companies explore the areas without first consulting the communities. "If (the government) continues launching aggressions, we are going to respond in an organized way," he warned.Since 2004, the number of complaints from indigenous peoples against the extractive industries has multiplied in Amazonas and Madre de Dios, he said.In July AIDESEP will file a lawsuit against the government in the Constitutional Tribunal for violating indigenous rights in promoting extractive industries, and is considering taking the case to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Indigenous organizations have already turned to the Commission. In July 2007 they requested protective measures for the Kugapakori, Nahua and Nanti peoples, who live in isolation, with little outside contact, and were affected by the Camisea natural gas project in the Cuzco and Ucayali regions, in the south and east of the country. Another petition was filed in defense of the indigenous groups who live in voluntary isolation -- the Waorani, Pananunjuri and Aushiri or Aijira, in the northeastern region of Loreto -- allegedly threatened by activities of the Barrett Oil and Repsol YPF petroleum corporations.In both cases they are seeking the protection of the community, its territory and culture, and the Indians' right to live in a healthy environment.The harshest conflicts in the Amazon have emerged as a result of natural gas and oil drilling.The government gives incentives for private investment in the mountains and in the jungles "because it has to start with something" to promote development in those areas, the president of the Council of Ministers, Jorge del Castillo, told La República newspaper.The indigenous groups invoke Convention 169, adopted by the International Labor Organization, which establishes a system of special protection for native peoples and consultation mechanisms about laws, projects and policies that affect their development and habitat. Peru ratified the convention in 1993.What is needed is a land registry in order to prevent oil or mineral exploitation in forest or agricultural areas: "The law is very ambiguous, or prioritizes mining over other productive activities. That is why a registry of what is really on that land is important before taking decisions that are only going to generate conflicts," said Santos Kawai Komori, regional president of Madre de Dios.

No matter how many years I've used a table saw, my blood still runs cold when I think about the potential for a kickback that leads to injury. Thank goodness it hasn't happened to me. But, others in our community haven't been so fortunate. You don't have to search woodworking forums for too long before you'll find direct proof. The scary photos and war stories are definitely out there. There's no debating the fact that kickback is one of the leading causes of table saw accidents. We all know it, but what are we doing in our shops to prevent it?

Top 20 Clever Captions
Those of you who've submitted captions to our cabinet saw photo have proven this: woodworkers can take a goofy photo and made something good of it. At well over 100 captions submitted—and counting—it's clear we've got a collective funnybone!
I've been wanting to pick a "Top Ten" list, but between the captions posted to our Facebook page and here on the blog, there are too many good ones for just ten fingers. (And despite all those cabinet saws, I still have ten to count with.) So, with Matt Becker's help—he's got all ten digits, too—we've picked 20 of the funniest ones. If yours didn't make the cut (yeah, couldn't help that one), it's nothing personal. These just made us laugh out loud…but there were plenty of chuckles and smiles for the rest.
See if you agree:
A Darker Side to Loaning Tools?
Thanks to all of you who left comments regarding my recent blog post "Loaning Tools: What's Your Take?"
That was lively feedback, and you've left a lot of food for thought on this topic. Responses ranged from "share and share alike" to "no way, no how, no matter who asks." Clearly, we have definite opinions on this issue—and some of us have learned hard lessons from loaning stuff out. But, a couple of your comments suggest that there could be a bigger problem with loaning tools than not getting them back in tip-top shape. Chuck V and R Graf suggest that there's potential tool liability we should be concerned about if someone gets hurt while using our tools. In case you didn't follow the complete thread, here are their posts:
A Peek Behind the Curtain
Because I am a woodworking tool geek, one of the things I really like about my job is that I not only get to see the plethora of new woodworking products as they are launched, but I often get to see them firsthand and get a demonstration of how they work. (No tedious reading of the instruction manuals for me, no sir!)
A good example of this came recently when Matthew Grisley of Leigh Industries dropped by to demonstrate their new Super FMT Jig (http://www.leighjigs.com/superfmt.php). I have had the pleasure of knowing Matt and his family for many years now, so this demo meeting was a double treat for me. This jig forms both mortises and tenons with one setup, much like their original FMT jig, but at almost half the cost. (A great concept with all of us watching our nickels and dimes even more closely these days.)
One Tough Cookie
Call me crazy, but I just beat the beans out of a new tool, purchased with my own hard-earned allowance, just to prove a point: I think Rockler got the name of its new Bench Cookies™ totally wrong. They're not cookies, guys. They're hockey pucks in disguise.
But first, some back story…
Loaning Tools: What's Your Take?
A big sawdusty thanks to all of you who left comments about the recent blog post "Got Rules for Your Tools?". I think we woodworkers are a pretty organized, attention-to-details sort of bunch. So it came as no surprise that you folks would have some rules to live by in your shop. Still waiting to hear from some of you that don't choose to keep the place spotless. Maybe us neatniks are missing something…
Aside from being a kick to read, your "rules" also had me nodding yes. No goofing off. Keep wet beverages off the table saw. Wear your shoes in the shop. Keep things sorted. Goggles on or you're gone.
Yep. Check. Agreed. (Guess there's some shop teacher genes in many of us.)
But, I've just got to call attention to a topic raised by Ryan, in his response:
In Defense of An Old Friend
Lately I've been churning out a lot of router dovetails, and that, of course, means choosing a router. I'll be honest with you: I've got several different routers on the shelf. But what did I reach for first? My good old Porter-Cable 690LRVS with a fixed base.
And that got me thinking about favorite tools.
Now, you'll notice that Porter-Cable isn't sponsoring this blog post. They don't even know I'm writing it. It was just me, alone in the shop as usual on a Monday morning, and the thought process was about this simple: "Gotta rout dovetails this week…need a router…grab the 690." My gut drove the decision.
Got Rules for Your Tools?
"Put things back where you find them."
Can you still hear that one ringing in your ears from childhood? I can, but in my shop, it's one rule I really do try to live by.
Some woodworkers wonder what kind of real work gets done in a clean shop. I guess for those folks, clutter helps get the creative juices flowing, or at least it doesn't grind productivity to a halt. But the "Oscar Madison" approach sure doesn't work for me. Continue reading
Angling Without the Snags
About six years ago, I was building some outdoor furniture with lots of angles to them, and the closest thing I had to an angle-setting device was my speed square. No offense to you hard-core carpenters out there, but frankly, a speed square seems better suited to rafter tails than woodworking.
I always felt like I was plus or minus a few degrees on my cuts, which just wasn't cutting it, so to speak. I needed something more accurate that I could really trust.
Grinders Bite Back
The other day, while grinding a fresh edge on my turning chisels, I was reminded of a rather searing injury from my past. It's proof that sometimes the "safe" tools are the ones that bite you back. Here's what happened…
You might remember an Arts & Crafts Wine Cabinet I built for the magazine back in the August 2003 issue. I was nearly finished with the project and ready to hang the doors. The hinge screws were all a little too long to work right, so I decided to grind them down instead of buying shorter ones. Nothing particularly unsafe about that.
Or so I thought.

Apply Now for Clean Energy Application Centers Solicitation
March 30, 2009
The U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Program is now accepting proposals to establish Clean Energy Application Centers. These centers will provide support for the technology transfer of combined heat and power, district energy, waste heat recovery, and other clean energy systems, along with support for evaluating the economic and environmental value of proposed systems based on these technologies. This solicitation closes on April 30, 2009 at 11:59 PM EST, so don't delay!
Currently, the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Regional Application Centers (RACs) promote CHP technology and applications by offering local, individualized solutions to customers on project-specific support along with education and outreach. The creation of Clean Energy Application Centers will replace the RACs, expanding the activities beyond CHP to include district energy systems, waste heat recovery, and other clean energy systems as funding becomes available. Each Clean Energy Application Center will perform education and outreach, identification of potential high impact projects, and project implementation assistance.
DOE expects to make up to eight awards under this announcement in the $1,200,000-$2,000,000 range. Recipients will be required to cost share a minimum of 20% of the total project costs.
There are several one-time actions prospective applicants must complete prior to submitting an application through Grants.gov:
- Obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System number
- Register with the Central Contractor Registry and FedConnect
- Register with Grants.gov.
Applicants are encouraged to complete this process as soon as possible in order to be eligible to apply for this solicitation without delay.
