Putting the Genie Back in the Bottle: MIT Faculty and Nuclear Arms Reduction
Wednesday, May 4
Aron Bernstein, MIT Professor Emeritus, Physics
After the Manhattan Project and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Cold War resulted in an enormous proliferation and deployment of nuclear weapons by the US and USSR, and their spread to other nations. In parallel, a robust movement against the development and testing of nuclear weapons also developed.
Starting in 1945, many Manhattan Project alumni were active participants in the effort to make sure that these weapons would never be used again, and to warn the general public about their dangers. At MIT this included Phil Morrison, Victor Weisskopf, Bernard Feld, Cyril Stanley Smith and others. As the years went on, and the problem only got larger, many more joined in. At MIT these included Hanry Kendall, Salvador Luria, Jerome Wiesner, Kosta Tsipis, George Rathjens, Vera Kistiakowski, Aron Bernstein, Jonathan King, and others among the faculty as well as many students and postdocs.
On March 4, 1968 a day of protest about the development of multi-warhead missiles (MIRV) was held at MIT. This event initiated a worldwide movement and led to the formation of the Union of Concerned Scientists , later led by Henry Kendall. The MIT campus aspects of this concern were aided by the Technology and Culture Forum.
As a contribution to the MIT 150 commemorations, the MIT Faculty Newsletter and the T&C Forum have organized this symposium to honor and review this part of MIT's history, and to focus on today's no less urgent need to prevent nuclear war -- the ultimate disaster for the Earth. Continuing urgent concerns include nuclear reactor accidents, nuclear weapons proliferation, and the need to accelerate the global reduction and eventual elimination of nuclear arsenals.

Iraqi Women in the "New Iraq": Law, Violence & Mobilization
Tuesday, March 15
Speaker: Professor Nadje Al-Ali, University of London
Iraq is not news anymore except during suicide bombings and targeted attacks of religious minorities, politicians and professionals. But what happened to Iraqi women who were promised liberation, greater rights and an important role in the "new Iraq"? In this talk, Prof. Al-Ali will critically reflect on the legal, political and social conditions and developments in post-invasion Iraq. She will pay particular attention to various forms of increasing gender based violence and discuss the mobilization against it. She will address the importance of transnational feminist solidarity that takes an intersectional approach as its basis for mobilization.
Nadje Al-Ali is Professor of Gender Studies and Chair of the Centre for Gender Studies, at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. Her main research interests revolve around gender theory; feminist activism; women and gender in the Middle East; transnational migration and diaspora mobilization; war, conflict and reconstruction. Her publications include What kind of Liberation? Women and the Occupation of Iraq and Iraqi Women: Untold Stories from 1948 to the Present. Nadje is currently President of the Association of Middle East Women¹s Studies (AMEWS).
Sponsored by MIT Women's and Gender Studies.
Women Without Men: A Film by Shirin Neshat
Friday, March 18
In her feature-film debut, renowned visual artist Shirin Neshat offers an exquisitely crafted view of Iran in 1953, when a British- and American-backed coup removed the democratically elected government. Adapted from the novel by Iranian author Shahrnush Parsipur, the film weaves together the stories of four individual women during those traumatic days, whose experiences are shaped by their faith and the social structures in place.
With a camera that floats effortlessly through the lives of the women and the beautiful countryside of Iran, Neshat explores the social, political, and psychological dimensions of her characters as they meet in a metaphorical garden, where they can exist and reflect while the complex intellectual and religious forces shaping their world linger in the air around them.
Discussion with author of the novel Women Without Men, Shahrnush Parsipur, to follow.

BOARDMAN, Ohio - 21 News has learned that U.S. Marshals and the Boardman police have arrested two suspects that detectives believe are responsible for three purse snatchings, including one at Aldi's in February.
A tip from a caller and then eyewitness identifications led police to one of the suspects, and now authorities believe they have both suspects responsible for stealing purses of shoppers directly out of their shopping carts.
It is a crime of opportunity that is becoming more and more frequent. Purse snatchings where the suspects use a ploy to distract the victim, like claiming they need help to find a certain item at the store, then grab the victim's wallet or their entire purse from the shopping cart and make a run for it.
It happened twice on Wednesday in Boardman. The first time was at the Aldi's on South Avenue. But thanks to an alert store clerk, the female suspect, Gertrude Gastaldo of Struthers, left empty handed.
Less than 20 minutes later at Marc's, the same female suspect snatched another woman's purse from her cart, this time successfully. She left the store and jumped in to the passenger seat of a gold Ford pick-up.
The U.S. Marshal's and Boardman Police have arrested Gertrude Gastaldo and suspect that Frank Karcher, III was her getaway driver.
Police want to remind shoppers to keep their guard up and never put a purse in a shopping cart.

Finally being able to see the world through the eyes of the One who saved you. That, I truly believe, is a gift. I can look around each corner, through every window, into the eyes of a stranger, and see the brokenness within. I praise you lord for letting me see with your eyes!
Ask Jesus to lend you his eyes, his heart, his mind. Pray for this. There are so many benefits to this prayer. I've noticed that I've become a walking prayer. I spend many moments with God, asking him to heal the hurt and sew the pain. And also you start to learn new ways to evangelize to the world. You will understand how to do it in a way that will specifically connect with certain people. And from there lives begin to change. You begin to see what the lord saw in you in the times where you couldn't see anything in yourself. That, I am grateful for. You understand beauty in a whole new light. You can appreciate anger in all of its misunderstanding. You can wipe away every tear with just the right amount of comfort. I tell you, brothers and sisters, this is indeed a prayer to meditate on.
How many of you have been in a situation where you want to tell someone about Jesus, about love and salvation, but don't have the words. Perhaps your friend is suffering from something that you are trying to understand and you want to offer them the comfort of Jesus and tell them why he is perfect for their situation; but unfortunately you don't know how. I tell you, meditate on this! On top of that, it is most important to read your Bible.
Just a praise, some thoughts, some love.
Xoxo, God bless.

Jesus loves you. ♥: If I've turned away from God, is it possible to come back? →
Yes, because God keeps coming back for you.
God is persistent. He doesn't just wait around for you to come back to him. He keeps pursuing you. He loves you passionately and goes to great lengths to help you see your situation with clarity and wisdom: Without him, you're in trouble. You need the…
For the longest time I have felt convicted of not posting enough about how we can learn from the Lord, and things to do in order to improve our relationship with him. Instead I check my dashboard every day and scroll through random images that leave little hope in my heart, or a longing in my soul for the Lord. I simply look to look. Maybe it was beacsue I feel like I shouldn't remind people of their own sins and ways they can be walking with God when I can't get my relationship with straight to begin with. But it seems even when I try to blend in with the world again, I am called back to be humbled at the cross. No matter what I do I can't ignore the spirit within me, screaming and kicking at my soul to come back. It frustrates me because I know that the Lord has marvelous plans, plans that will prosper me, make my joyful. But I get so caught up in the world, in my appearance, in sin that I forget who God really is in my life. It's a big mess, really. Suturday Night I had watched Passion of the Christ for the second time. It always astonishes me how humbled I am. There is no image like that of our Savior Jesus Christ being beaten, spit on, whipped, and then crucified, that can stay in your mind. I think of that every time I am faced with tempation. It breaks my heart. It opens my eyes to how much I need Jesus. Gosh, I am almost without words. God is the only thing that keeps my heart alive. If I have one prayer request for this week it's that to pray for my relationship with him. I know in the end, my decisions are the ones that are going to either damage or improve it, but please pray for my faith. I want nothing more than Jesus.
You're Wonderful to Me.
That moment when you want nothing more than to be with God. Despite your shame, despite your sin, despite who you really think you are. I am so grateful to have a God that loves me enough to want to be with me as intimately as I want to be with him.
A lot of people ask me why I am so happy all of the time. That's when I tell them about Jesus. Jesus is the reason I am happy.
THIS is how a man should look when he sees his wife in her wedding dress. Overjoyed with love and excitement. He should have tears in his eyes knowing she is going to be with him forever. How could you not look at your future wife and not cry at how beautiful she looks on her wedding day? Cmon now. I know that if I follow God's plan, and if it is in his will, he will give me a man like this; a man of God that is so over-joyed to see every second of the day. Someone who is just as enthralled with my beauty as the Lord is himself. This is the man I will wait for.
forever reblog.
I've reblogged this picture before, but I just couldn't help doin' it again! One of the many things I hate about being a hopeless romantic.
His face on that last one … <3
This is SO beautiful. He was so nervous and anxious, and then he saw her and was just engulfed in joy and emotion.. so, so sweet <3
The path of Christ.
Not Forgotten: 2/13/12 →
I was worshipping today and I had this vision. I was standing before God and his glory was shining all around me. He wanted me to shine with His glory and to show it to people but there was some stuff in the way in my heart. I had jealousy and fear and other sins in my heart where Gods glory and…
"One night I had a dream. I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and across the skies flashed scenes from my life. In each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One was mine and one was the Lord's. When the last scene of my life appeared before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand, and, to my surprise, I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints. And, I noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times in my life. I asked the Lord about it; "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why you left my side when I needed you most." The Lord said, "My precious child, I never left you during your time of trial. When you see only one set of footprints, I was carrying you."
You are never alone.
Made me smile, but at the same time, I know that it's not true. Worship is measured by what's in the heart, no not by how high you can raise your hands.

Tax free non-profit organizations
It is hard to understand any organization that makes 9 Billion a year as non-profit. That is the case of the National Football League. They pay Roger Goodell 29.6 million a year to manage that money. He then disperses it to the owners, and teams. Is doing this money laundering as the taxpayers are "cheated" out of hundreds of millions in taxes a year.
I only use the NFL as an example ... PGA, NHL, etc .. all have the same 501c3 agreements.
They are the true 1% that is never attacked or considered. They make 9 Billion a year not have a Billion dollars total over the years. That makes them many times richer than the wealthy but pay nothing. Taxes become necessary at the lower levels when the NFL makes payments out.
Should we reconsider the professional sports as charitable organizations or is this just a tax dodge.
This is also true of all college bowl games, and many other big money events.
This is easy to research ... look into it and express your thoughts.
Jan 25 2014: I did not realize that but I am not at all surprised. Companies formed corporations to get out of liabilities, now they are not happy with paying any taxes at all so what is the next step? My guess is they will want all of us to work with no benefits and for nothing. Opps... they are already doing that aren't they! They just do it in another country that cannot defend it's self.
Aren't these corporate people just special?
I propose a bounty like we have with some of the other unwanted creators that disturb us in one way or another. Everybody ante up a dollar and winner take all. We could all go out for a thanksgiving hunt. Whoever bags the most get's to retire for life. Of course we will want to video tape it to make the next viral Youtube video.
Jan 27 2014: Y'know, it may be time for that. No special favors for anybody. Everybody gets hit the same, at the same flat percent rate, people and "corporations". No diddling around with "deductions", either. People who make very little will pay very little. People and "corporations" that make a lot will pay a lot, all assessed at a flat rate. No quibbling over whether a "deduction" is "fair" or not or whether a particular bracket is "fair" or not.
Jan 24 2014: "Should we reconsider the professional sports as charitable organizations or is this just a tax dodge."
I know next to nothing about the NFL, PGA or NHL.....but i sounds like the latter to me!
Yes they absolutely should contribute something. When my father died he had saved x amount to pass on to his family, that sum was taxed, even though in saving that money he had paid tax already by working for it! Its a bitter taste when you see average people pay tax sometimes several times before getting anything for the money, while billions such as this go untouched, often into the pockets of people who do not need it.
A crying shame...

Mum Is The World, by Zanny Begg. Blood & Thunder, Australia, 2013. A sensitive and charming small edition book of drawings from Zanny Begg (zannybegg.com). In her introduction, Zanny writes:
"Being a mum can be intense. My baby learnt to walk and talk pretty much simultaneously - she would totter along hanging off my hands and chanting mumma. If I put her down for a second the chant would escalate to a howl for more. Through these drawings I hope to share the pressure and beauty of this brief time when mumma and baby are each other's whole world. Soon enough she could walk on her own and new words came along expanding this intense little universe."
This sweet publication would make a fantastic gift for any new parent - or just for folks who appreciate great drawing-based 'zines! $6.00.

Reducing Or Ignoring Workplace Safety During Business Downturns Costly, ASSE Notes

Toward genuine mutual satisfaction between smokers and non-smokers. EFFECTIVE SMOKING AREA CONTROL
When air curtain blows continually from 4 pillars in the same rotating direction, revolving current will be generated which in turn generate centrifugal force for the molecules in the air. Subsequently, suction is executed from the upper or lower section of the center, and with the intensity of the revolving current and the volume of suction air being balanced, the suction area created by suction will form a core section along the central axis. This core section of suction generated centrifugal force for the molecules in the air. When the centrifugal force and the centripetal force are made equal on the circumference of the core, the revolving current will grow into a swirl (spiral flow) and converge at the central core. As a result, an artificial tornado directed towards the suction opening will be generated. An artificial tornado, formed using this method, can be freely created into low-speed tornado, one that man is unable to sence, or one that is strong enough to blow away a big hammer. Air curtain blows 4 pillars in the same rotating direction and is sucked downward into the central section of the table to generate downward artificial tornado. Tobacco smoke will be sucked by the artificial tornado, filtered through the Electric dust collector and the deodorizing filter built into the table, and filtered air is released from the bottom part of the devices.
Separates smoking areas from non-smoking areas by employing "Air curtains". These air curtains cover smoking areas with invisible walls, and the confined air is absorbed through air cleaner and then released outside. According natural theory, airflow from where air pressure is positive where to it is negative. This flow of the air is regulated so that it always maintains slightly negative air pressure inside the smoking area.

The good people at See Beyond Genre wanted to give a custom design to their all genre music blog. Having their logo already made and a good sense of the direction they wanted the design go, I designed a mostly black and white site with hints of color to elements that coincide with each other on the page. Being an all genre music blog, and having users whose only interest is in certain genre's we developed a genre filtering system along with hiding the large music and video player's in a drop down menu to only expand if the person is interested and clicks on it. Navigation and post filtering and sorting was important to See Beyond Genre and I implemented those features into applicable views throughout the website. Overall, it ended up being one of my largest projects to date and really pushed the boundaries on what people may consider a blog to look like.

A man is behind bars after being accused in the brutal beating of a 3-year-old child in Flint.
The Genesee County Sheriff's office says Robert Martin is in custody in connection to the beating.
Right now that child is recovering at Hurley Medical Center. It's not clear if Martin is related to the child.
Prosecutors say the abuse happened last week at a home on Baltimore Street.
Emergency workers said that when they arrived at the home, the child was barely breathing.
They said he had visible bruises on his face and neck.
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said doctors who treated the boy said it's one of the worst cases of child abuse they have ever seen.
Officials are still looking over the case.

The Beatles: Rock Band tracklist to be only partially revealed at E3
By: Steven Kelso | May 11th, 2009
E3 |News
E3 |News
In order to build up the hype for E3 just a little bit more, we thought we would let you know that your favorite boys from across the pond songs for The Beatles: Rock Band will have only a partial revelation. Although that's disappointing, it'll be enough to tide us over.
Harmonix studio rep Alex Navarro said, "You're looking at E3. It's not going to be the full tracklist that we announce, but we'll have some info at that point. We're gonna tease it a little bit."
And teased we are!
Let's polish up those vocals, cut our hair, dress out of the sixties, and have a good 'ol time!
Source: Eurogamer
We're going to E3! We'll be sure to have impressions of the game, if available, and we'll be reporting on the tracklisting as soon as it hits!

A man ostensibly trying to protest same-sex marriage has filed a lawsuit because he claims he's being denied the "right" to marry the one whom he loves. The object of his affection being his porn-filled MacBook. Head meet desk.
Amateur model and Army veteran Chris Sevier argues that if same-sex couples are allowed to marry, then he should be allowed to wed his computer because it's his "preferred sexual object" and he prefers sex with his machine more than sex with "real women." When he tried to file for a marriage license in Utah, it was rejected on the grounds of "sexual orientation." Apparently "you're a numbskull" isn't an official response to this sort of thing.
When California's controversial Prop 8 went to the Supreme Court last year, attorney Charles Cooper defended the state's ban on same-sex marriage. Meanwhile in his personal life, he was learning that his own daughter identified as LGBT.
Now he's helping her plan her wedding to her lesbian partner this June. The couple plans to tie the knot in Massechusetts, one of 17 states (plus D.C.) where same-sex marriage is legally recognized. I guess you could say that things change.
Back in March, graham cracker makers Honey Maid revealed a campaign called This Is Wholesome featuring a same sex couple lovingly feeding their baby, an interracial family happily walking together, and a heavily tattooed mom hugging her child. People complained. This is NOT wholesome, some wrote. Disgusting, said others. The hate mail poured in and Honey Maid collected all of it.
They asked two artists to take all the negative comments and transform them into something beautiful. My heart began racing wondering just what it is that they would do. And what they did ended up making me cry and also restored my faith that if we embrace hate with love, we can prevail. You must see this response. It's truly beautiful.
A judge in Michigan just ruled that its ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional, making gay marriage legal in the state. This makes Michigan the 17th state (not counting D.C.) to allow same-sex unions. Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia and Utah also overturned bans, but appeals on those decisions were put in right away, making marriage in those states still technically illegal. Still, this a huge step forward a long time in the make.
While the decision was widely applauded and supporters by voters in Michigan, there are still those who seek to protest and appeal the decision. However, surprisingly, this judge's decision wasn't made pending appeal -- which means that the first gay couple in Michigan has already tied the knot! This is awesome news. I hope Michigan serves as an example to other states in the union. Gay marriage should be the rule, not the exception.
This is galling.
Rep. Michele Bachmann is in the news again, and her latest comments definitely made my blood pressure rise. The fact that she has even the limited amount of power she does is continually unfathomable. Bachmann is continually sticking her foot in her mouth and pushing a deeply restrictive and conservative agenda.
She's in the news this week talking about the bill in Arizona that would have allowed business owners to refuse service to gay customers. Thankfully, the bill was shot down.
But Michele is still seething about it and she's talking to anyone who will listen. The way she sees it, straight Americans have been "bullied" by gay Americans for long enough. This bill tanking is just more proof of that. Excuse me while I ralph up my indignation into a bucket I have reserved solely for this purpose.
On Sunday, just as the Oscars were rolling out the red carpet, there was a whole other kind of show taking place on an Army base in Japan. Gay and lesbian members of the Army were participating in a drag show, which was thrown to raise money for OutServe-SLDN, a support group for LGBT members of the Army's community.
The folks heading up the group and the event itself were bowled over by the response it received. They were initially wary, thinking that there wasn't much of a demand for such an event. They were worried it wouldn't raise the sort of funds they hoped for. So imagine their surprise when instead of selling 75 tickets -- they wound up selling just over 400!
A year after offering $65 million to any man willing to marry his lesbian daughter, a Hong Kong tycoon is desperate to find a suitor and has doubled his sum. Now, Cecil Chao Sze-tsung is willing to dish out a casual $120 million to any man who can romance his daughter Gigi.
Gigi Chao, who is 34 and has been with her wife Sean Eav for more than nine years, responded to her father's latest proposal with an emotional open letter in the South China Morning Post. In Gigi's sad plea to her dad, she talks about how admirable he is as a businessman but how foolish he's been in matters of the heart.
This is so innocent and sweet, it's impossible not to just love it to pieces. In Australia, a 4-year-old girl wrote a letter to the prime minister, Tony Abbott, asking him to "let boys marry boys and girls marry girls," in an effort to persuade him to recognize gay marriage Down Under.
Sabrina Franco was inspired to reach out to the prime minister after learning that her mother's friends, a gay male couple, had to go all the way to New York to be married. Same-sex marriages are neither recognized nor performed in Australia.
Sabrina's plea gets straight to the point, and it's really so, so simple.
When a pastor went on trial this fall for officiating at his gay son's 2007 wedding, I thought surely love would win the day. But nope! That was naive of me, and anyone else who thought the same. Pennsylvania pastor Frank Schaefer has been defrocked. United Methodist officials told Schaefer to either resign from the clergy or follow the church's Book of Discipline to the letter. The pastor refused both, saying the Book of Discipline discriminates against gay people. He doesn't want to give up on his church, either.
Rather than walk away, Schaefer is determined to make change from within his church. "I am actively committing to having those discriminatory laws changed and banished from our Book of Discipline. That's the only way I can reconcile being a United Methodist at this point." Not only that, Schaefer is taking Jesus' teachings to heart in his refusal to resign.
Those of you who've always been curious to see what it's like to be a sister-wife, now is your big chance. A federal circuit court ruling has made polygamy in Utah practically legal! Okay, you still CANNOT get more than one marriage license. That's still illegal. This ruling just makes it a whole lot easier for families to practice polygamy. But before you decide this heralds the End of Civilization as We Know It, let's talk about why this may actually be great news.

My Renovation Tools Top 10: Timothy Dahl
Charles & Hudson
With so many tools to choose from it was difficult to nail down (no pun intended) my top ten but these are the tools that I reach for most often and have become a staple in my workshop.
1. DeWALT 12V MAX Cordless Screwdriver
This tool might get the most use out of any. It's a powered screwdriver strictly made for driving screws, not drilling. Without the need for power to drill, this screwdriver uses a lighter motor and compact 12V lithium-ion battery. It's got 3 super bright LED's located right in the collar so you won't have any shadows. If you pull the trigger slightly only the light will come on and I've used it plenty of times as just a flashlight. The one-handed loading chuck is easy to use and perfect for quick bit swaps and the flat battery pack makes it stable enough to stand upright.
2. Dremel Multi-Max Cordless Oscillating Tool
Oscillating tools are the fastest growing segment of power tools and for good reason. Their versatility is unmatched and I think everyone should own one of these. You can cut, sand, grind and scrape very effectively with this tool. Just switch out the attachments and turn it on. For a cordless oscillating tool, the Dremel has a lot of power and I like the battery fuel gauge and variable speed. I've used mine to sand woodworking project, scrape paint off my car bumper and trim drywall.
3. Bosch PS-41 Compact Impact Driver
Bosch is one of my favorite brands of power tools as they make no nonsense tools that are skewed towards the professional user. Every tool feels solid in your hand and they are extremely durable. Right behind the oscillating tool in terms of new tool popularity, is the impact driver.
These look like drills but they are made specifically to drive bolts and are the perfect tool for building flat-pack furniture or working on your car. They deliver rotational and downward force, which is what you need to tighten stubborn bolts.
This model from Bosch is compact and has the battery fuel gauge and LED light ring and the highest speed in it's class at 2600 RPM. It's small but delivers a big punch which is what you need from an impact driver.
4. Craftsman C3 19.2V Drill/Driver
Craftsman is one of those iconic brands and their hand tools are second to none. They've also got the deepest selection of power tools that are specifically geared towards the DIYer. Their C3 line of tools are awesome and if you are looking for a great all-around drill/driver then the Craftsman model will make you smile. It's got the battery fuel gauge, onboard bit holders and a ½" keyless chuck that has 24 settings.
5. Ryobi Tek4 Stud Sensor
Having a stud sensor takes the guess work out of hanging heavy items and this one is very easy to use and most importantly is accurate. It's also part of the Tek4 family of tools from Ryobi, which includes a lot of other helpful lifestyle power tools such as laser distance, multimeter and flashlight.
6. Milwaukee M12 Cordless Jigsaw
The jigsaw is a must-have for any DIYer unless you enjoy the manual labor of working with a coping saw or hand saw. Jigsaws make quick work of plywood or pine boards and this next generation cordless version is just as powerful and even more maneuverable since you don't have to worry about a cord getting in the way. Milwaukee's main focus is the trades so you know you are getting a quality power tool when you buy red.
7. Bosch RS428 Reciprocating Saw
The recip saw is a luxury item for most homeowners but indispensible for contractors. Nothing cuts through 2x4's or nails like a recip saw and they are necessary for any demo job and can also be used outdoors to trim tree branches or clear wood limbs or posts. As I mentioned before, Bosch tools are all considered contractor grade so they are built to last.
8. STIHL BGA 85 Blower
I recently reviewed this blower and came away very impressed. STIHL is a leader in outdoor power equipment (OPE) and like many other tools on this list they make equipment built to withstand commercial application36s. This next generation blower is powered by a 36V lithium-ion battery and has some serious power. The noise level is low and the convenience of not dealing with oil and gas is a huge bonus. Look for many more OPE products to be run on batteries in the near future as sound and environmental ordinances continue to get more strict.
9. Sog Flash II Folding Knife
This is the only non-power tool on my list but I never leave home without it. Multi-tools are great but 90% of the time I just need a good sharp blade and the Flash II works perfectly and keeps a sharp edge. It feels great in your hand and flips open with a flick of your wrist. It's got a good strong safety button and a clip so it will stay on your belt or in your pocket.
10. Porter-Cable PC18CSL Circular Saw
When you need quick ripping power and don't have the space for a table saw, a circular saw is what you need. They can seem intimidating and you should definitely know what you are doing when operating one but they can be used for everything from building homes, decks or sheds and they will cut through lumber with precision needed to build shelves or other home projects.
Porter-Cable has been making saws since 1929 and this cordless version has a great history to draw from. It's got advanced features such as a laser sight and electric brake so you know you are getting accurate cuts.
• Thanks to Timothy of Charles & Hudson for sharing his Renovation Tools Top 10!
Previous My Tech Top 10's:
10 Comments
Hadn't heard of the oscillating tool before, I might get one. Definitely have the DeWault on my list - thanks for writing this article! It's super helpful.
I've decided I'm somewhat annoyed by most cordless tools. I'd rather have a corded tool that's full power, and not have to worry about battery life. My sawz-all and drill are cordless because they need to be the most portable, but my jigsaw, circular saw, and anything else I need for "building" are all corded.
I am intrigued by the oscillating tool. I think I need one of those!
Thanks for this, it came at the perfect time. I'm about to start constructing a custom closet for my husband and I and I've been thinking a lot about the tools I might need.
Good list, there are a few I still need to add to my collection, though like @TULSA_RETRO I also prefer corded tools for the power. I'd change the blower to a blower/vacuum only because it makes quick work of gathering leaves, chopping them, adding them to the compost pile.
The oscillating tool is indispensable for working with drywall. If you just need to shave a bit off - you can do it in place. It made me not hate drywall. As much.
This is a good list. There is one tool I would add though. My favorite is an SDS Rotary Hammer. I have the Bosch Bulldog Xtreme and love it. It can drill through concrete, brick, or masonry. You can buy a $25 attachment and turn it into a mixer. On top of that, you can use it a "mini-jackhammer".
Well said, TULSA RETRO. You can snake a cord to any location you can get to yourself. Sometimes I'll keep a cordless drill/driver by my corded drill to punch pilot holes, but for torque, cost and reliability cords win every time.
What, no festool?
If I've learned one thing about tools, it's buy quality the first time.
Thanks for all the great feedback! I can't say enough about the oscillating tools. Fein used to be the only manufacturer until their patent expired and now almost everyone is making them. I also really like the Bosch corded model.
The tools listed above are great for general do-it-yourself and most are capable of even more but for the average DIY enthusiast, buying a contractor grade tool is a bit of overkill in both price and function. But if you've got a healthy budget and don't mind working with heavier, albeit more durable tools, then stick with contractor grade tools and you'll also be surprised at the power of the current generation of lithium-ion cordless tools.

I can only hope.
She is one of the most brilliant women of our time, and possesses style, grace, charm, and something often missing in the political arena, class.
Speaking of class……having a fantasy, imagining her debating Biden…and I am downright giddy.
I see Ms Rice as a war criminal and failure as a public servant for her misreading of very clear and hard evidence, backed by mountains of Congressional testimony, of a pending attack on the United States, and for her push for the attack on Iraq based of incredibly flimsy evidence. Rice as VP would be seen globally as having Himmler in office. Very, very bad for us, very strongly vote NO..
White liberals would not vote for a ticket sporting a black woman VP, when they already have a boy who's been bought and bludgeoned just how they like it.
Biden, Mrs. Clinton and a host of your Democratic elite, pushed for an attack on Iraq. Look it up.
By golly, a gaggle of them even voted for it.
Bill and Al beat the war drum in the previous administration, speaking powerful words about what should be done with Saddam. A shame that Clinton didn't take him when he had the chance.
Does this make all of the Democrats, who rallied against Saddam, war criminals also?
Romney will end all hope of becoming President if Rice is on the same ticket… Huge Mistake.
Picking Ms. Rice would be an incredible statement by republicans. A black woman as VP candidate.
It would be bad politics, she was one of GW Bush "Vulcans" and hard line neocons. It would be a clear indicator that republicans have given up about the presidential contest. The racist base would be talking about Romney's affirmative action VP.
They will pick a safe candidate. Will be Pawlenty.
The reality is VP candidates don't win you states. Probably a reaction to her name recognition. Never happen she is pro choice with ambiguous sexuality. Also do they really want to re-litigate 9-11 and Iraq. Not happening.
Thar aint no way we t party folk r gonna go for a pro baby killer. No way! Romneys bad enough
Appears that anyone on the conservative list of possibilities outshines BHO's choice.
Speaking of Joe, he was carefully chosen for his foreign policy experience, right? Wonder what he thinks about Syria? Wonder if he told Barack to illegally attack Libya? Wonder what he thinks about how things are turning out there, and in Egypt, etc??? Not exactly great outcomes. He told us that he was not in favor of going in after Bin Laden. Guess he did that to make Obama look like more of a "decision maker", as after all, this administration had known where he was for almost a year. Has anyone heard from the imprisoned doctor who made it all possible, is he still alive, has he been tried in Pakistan for treason? I sure hope not.
Look him up, read about him……shamefully there is not much reported in the msm, because there just isn't room for "everyone" to spike the football.
Learn about him, learn about what he did….learn why he is the one who deserves a noble peace prize.
What a wrong, terrible ending for this man, who is imprisoned for bravely helping our country confirm Bin Laden's presence.
What a shame his name is not better known, imagine that ???? The "why" he isn't better known, is disgusting.
I transposed my a and i, his name is Shakil, not Shikal.
Look him up….SHAKIL AFRIDI .
I have never been more ashamed of my country….this harshly taints any victory. I guess it will keep anyone who knows about it, from helping us out in the future ? Would you risk your life to help a country that is going to throw you under the bus?
Why didn't we get him out of there shortly after the raid?
CNN…..only one article.
MSNBC……just three.
VERY limited coverage in the liberal msm, guess they don't want the story advertised?
At least Lindsey Graham tried to do something, after the situation was mishandled, and the other lawmakers agreed.
Geesh, and on top of this crimson stain, we are now dealing with leaks that are risking US lives.
Obama has failed not only the economy, but his try at foreign policy.
the biggest mistake that romney will make is not choosing rubio as his running mate. no one else will energize the hispanics that may be on the fence, or young voters or women – all of whom he desperately needs. additionally, it's not enough for this candidate to do no harm, he must be a person who can bridge the gap between intellectual ivy and " the regular people". rubio is the only candidate that enables a win.
denise…. why not make your points without trying to so annoying? Also, if all you write is motivated by your obsessive compulsive dislike of democrats, liberals, progressives and the President you are less effective. Some of our kids get angry and insult you, it's the passion of youth, forgive them.
You are a bright one with a sense of humor, not many like you on your team, but work on being nicer, try more honey and less vinegar.
Hugs and kisses.
Must chuckle about the high 'negatives' for both presumptive nominees–'this early in the election cycle' as pundits like to put it.. Many voters likely question the sexual authenticity of them both–along with their political positions.
On advice of counsel, I am not accusing either President Obama or Governor Romney of committing any specific sexual acts that may be illegal in many states. Either gentleman's tendencies are a matter of public debate and I only offer my personal observation and opinion.
10:08 definitely see your point about obozo, which is why he married a man.
So then Romney is a she-man , that's why he married a strong he-woman amazon with a whip and strong riding boots.
The wacko social conservatives will just love Condi. She is a light weight bush admin lackey. No chance.
The last thing we need as VP on the Romney ticket is another Romney. I don't dislike him, I just think he needs someone to compliment him more. Condi would be fantastic in this right. I also think they would actually get things done rather than send us on another religulous adventure into social conservatism.
Of the potentials, Rubio and Ryan are the only other ones that make any sense. However, I think the country needs Ryan exactly where he is for some time to come as his purpose will take a lot of time to realize and there's no one else of his economic stature in Washington to see true economic reform through.
Rubio? A big mistake as a Romney VP choice in this undecided Dems view.
The joke hereabouts is that Bush translated into Spanish–is Rubio.
If you know anything about Fla. politics you know that won't translate into very many votes.

You may remember that we brought you the news in December that Brazilian mobile phone maker Gradient (IGB) was releasing a new device called the iPhone. We said that Apple was probably going to be unhappy with that name, and so it proved, but today it is Gradient who has won the right to use the name in Brazil.
It is unclear if Apple is now banned from using the iPhone branding in the South American country, but it is certain that Gradient have the rights to use the name. In fact the company first filed for the iPhone name in 2000, a full 7 years before Apple released its product.
The first Gradient phone to wear the iPhone name landed in December, and Apple swiftly made 11 applications to the Patent and Trademark Office. However, the Journal of Industrial Property of the INPI which was due to be released today was to say that Apple's applications had failed.
That final confirmation was then put back until February 13th, but it is certain that the ruling will stand and Gradient will win the right to use the iPhone brand name. Gradient have held the exclusive rights to the name since 2008, Apple has declined to comment so we will have to wait and see what the company does next.

Earlier this season, Patriots QB Tom Brady and former Patriot Randy Moss got into an altercation that required them to be separated – before Moss was traded, according to Charley Casserly of CBS Sports.
According to his report, Brady and Moss got into an argument and Brady told Moss to shave his beard – after which – Moss told Brady to cut his hair because it made him look like a girl. The two then had to be separated.

Press release submitted by Tim Wassell, promotional director of the Bi-State Motorcycle Awareness Council.
The BI-STATE Motorcycle Awareness Council was founded in 1985 by Jim Barnes. Motorcycle Safety Foundation instructor at Eastern Iowa Community College. The sole purpose was to join together the states of Iowa and Illinois in promoting motorcycle awareness among motorists. This goal is accomplished through the joint efforts of local motorcycle groups. With their perseverance and hard work, this has become the largest 2 state motorcycle awareness ride in the nation.
Proclamations are received from Governors, Senators, and Mayors of the two state area, proclaiming May as Motorcycle Awareness Month. By doing this, the Council is able to attract media attention that reminds the public that another riding season has started and that they should be alert to presence of motorcycles on the streets and highways. These proclamations are presented at the annual Motorcycle Awareness Proclamation Ride, which is held every year on the 1st SATURDAY OF MAY.
Though the primary purpose is promoting motorcycle awareness and safety, the Council has adopted the Quad Cities Children Therapy Center as the benefactor of donated funds which the ride raises. The Council is able to raise theses funds to support the cause through the sale of event shirts, ride pins, 50/50 drawings, and other solicited donations.
Starting in 2008 we changed to pay to ride format. This is due to an estimated $3000 to $4000 projected charge for Police work. A number of the cities that provided free services in the past are charging police assistance fees. We will be initiating a pre-registration to try to provide funding for the police services.
The annual police escorted ride is, alcohol free, and open to all street legal motorcycles, Start at Rock Island County Fairgrounds 4200 Archer Drive East Moline, Illinois and ends at Davenport West High School 3505 W Locust Street Davenport, Iowa . Currently there are twelve different motorcycle clubs and associations represented on the non-political Council. Because of the diversity of the membership, the Council does not endorse nor promote any special interest persons, groups, or issues.
Registration information is available at the Councils web site @www.awarenessride.com

22 Ways to Learn During the Summer
- Friday, June 15, 2012
Melanie Hexter extols the value of building projects as learning experiences. "Build something new for your yard," she suggests. "A swing set, playhouse or shed, deck, raised bed gardens, etc. Many home improvement stores offer courses and the Internet is chock full of plans."
This idea may not be a lot of fun, but you'll be glad when September rolls around that you put in the extra effort now to make sure your kids didn't forget everything from the previous year during the long weeks of summer. Maribeth Spangenberg writes, "If my children were weak in math, I'd have them do some speed drills or practice sheets. Even just a few problems a day for a short period of time can help to keep concepts fresh."
And here's another suggestion from Tamara Willey: "Find new and creative ways to learn the multiplication tables. Let the kids make up games or requirements for ordinary games that require answering drills to move forward, etc. This is indispensable to success in math for any and all ages--one can never do this enough!"
What better time to get out and study nature than during the summer? Everything from bird watching, to creating a bug collection, to studying microorganisms under a microscope--plus a thousand other activities--make for great summertime learning.
Melissa Pinkley points out that now is a great time to prepare for certain types of science fair projects--even if the fair itself won't be held until the school year. "If your children want to do a science fair project that involves worms, bugs, sun, or any environmental issues, then the summer is the best time to do them. Make sure to take exact notes while you are doing the project. The official paperwork can either be done during the summer or later. Doing the project during the summer also helps when the actual science fair time comes since the project is done and you just have to review and make a presentation board."
Susan Lemons adds, "We like to do special topics during the summer, like insects, water or the ocean. For older children, we have done an insect collection. We used a killing jar to kill the bugs, then pinned them to a special board, and identified them using a field guide. This year, we're going to spend some time studying the ocean, and make a mural of the ocean complete with 'seaweed,' fish, and so on. We'll also learn about water: solutions, its forms (liquid, vapor, ice), observe ice melting, see how long it takes water to evaporate, and talk about where it goes. We'll also do sink/float experiments: I'll gather a bunch of things together, have the children guess which will sink and which will float, and then see if we were right; we'll also experiment with how shape affects buoyancy, and perhaps try building our own boats out of Legos, or wood, etc."
Nature hikes are also a great way to do hands-on science during the summer. Go to the library and find some field guides that will help you identify birds, plants, trees, animals, and different types of rocks, minerals, etc. Take along a bag or other container and gather samples (if you're in a park or nature preserve that doesn't allow collecting samples, you can always take your camera along and snap pictures of what you find). Melissa Pinkley adds that if any of your kids are "artsy," then outdoor art sketching can add some fun to your outing. Let them try their hand at drawing or painting flowers, trees, landscapes, birds, or any other nature they see.
Do some research online to learn about the various astronomy "events" that are happening this summer. For example, in August, there will be the Perseids Meteor Shower, as well as a total lunar eclipse. These are great opportunities to learn more about the night sky, and can also serve as jumping off points to read about early astronomers such as Johannes Kepler.
