Wall Lights
Walls aren't wallflowers when dressed to the nines with the right lights.
Why We Love Wall Lights
Wall lights can instantly turn a flat wall into something worth noticing. Specifically designed to add ambient lighting, more of today's wall sconces are also specifically shaped to add dramatic up and down lighting effects, really adding depth and structure to a space. Adjustable picture lights draw attention to a painting or work of art, while glass sconces can provide a splash of color and artistry and become works of art themselves.
Where Wall Lamps Work Best
Wall lamps can go pretty much everywhere from the bedroom to the bathroom (see our selection of bathroom lighting), but wall lamps are especially important in areas where food is being enjoyed or conversation is taking place, like the dining area and living room. Most wall light fixtures can be dimmed to provide a more intimate atmosphere in these spaces, too, adding to the overall experience of hanging with family and friends. Light dimming switches from Legrand Adorne offer a variety of stylish options that work with most wall lighting fixtures.
A Wall Light for Every Style
This collection of wall lights and sconces span a wide variety of interior decorative styles. From mid-century themed sconces by infamous New York City designer Jonathan Adler to Scandinavian design classics by Louis Poulsen, there is a wall light fixture to fit any style. And you will find traditional wall light options from Troy Lighting, as well as plenty of wall-mounted lighting options to fit transitional decor.
Other Great Options
Consider checking out reading lights for focused, directional and adjustable illumination in the living room or right next to the bed. Many sconces also come with pin-up kits that are easy to install and plug right in to the wall.
If you have any questions about this assortment of wall lights or tips on installing your wall fixture, please call our lighting experts at 877.445.4486.

There are millions of vehicles on the roads, and each one is a source of air pollution. The amount of pollution that all vehicles produce together can create big problems, especially in large cities. To solve these problems, automakers constantly refined engine control systems, and one of these refinements is installing a catalytic converter in each vehicle. The purpose of this part is to convert harmful pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Oxide, and volatile organic compounds into less harmful emissions, including water vapor and Carbon Dioxide, before they leave the exhaust system.
If you are searching for a quality catalytic converter for your vehicle, the Eastern Universal Fit Catalytic Converter is a great solution. The company offers universal converters for a wide range of vehicles, including SUVs, trucks, vans, sports cars, both foreign and domestic. Designed using advanced materials and the Eastern proprietary NANO technology chemistry, the product provides better converter efficiency and maximum engine output. NANO technology ensures that the catalyst material is more uniformly distributed throughout the substrate. This results in increased catalyst exposure to exhaust gases with more complete catalytic conversions for reduced exhaust emissions. It is available in various inlet and outlet sizes and with and without air tubes and O2 sensor bungs. Most converters include full top and bottom heat shields. This universal fit catalytic converter is street legal in 49 states, except California.64.60 66.22

Headquartered in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, the company also has facilities in England, Canada, and Mexico.

I would be thrilled if drinking coffee was proven to be the most nutritious way to start the day. Unfortunately for me and all the other caffeine addicts out there, it's not. Besides, I'm not just cooking for myself in the morning -- I'm cooking for my family. Just serving coffee won't cut it.
And here's why: Numerous studies show that eating a complete breakfast improves kids' academic and behavioral performance as well as their school attendance rate. The end result? Your family needs a tasty, filling breakfast that provides them with energy for the whole morning -- and gives you the satisfaction of knowing you fed them well. Here are some tips for getting your day started right.
Be a smoothie. One of the fastest (and yummiest) ways to get fruit, protein, and calcium into your family is with smoothies. I like to use frozen organic berries when fresh ones aren't in season -- they have more flavor and vitamins than out-of-season berries. And frozen bananas add a rich, creamy texture.
Add healthy ingredients. Adding healthy ingredients to standard breakfast fare can boost the nutritional level considerably. Try adding ricotta cheese and whole-grain flour to pancakes, for instance, to create more protein, calcium, and fiber per serving.
Get creative. Think of creative ways to substitute healthy ingredients for not-so-healthy ones (like fat, sugar, and refined carbohydrates). For example, I like to make a hippie version of eggs Benedict by using a whole-grain English muffin and baby spinach, and replacing the sinful Hollandaise sauce with the runny yolk of the egg itself. The kids think it tastes great, and I like the nutrition they're getting in every bite. Everyone wins.
Healthy Recipe: Guiltless French Toast
Makes 4 servings (one slice per person)
8 large egg whites
1 tbsp vanilla
1/4 cup orange juice (or juice from two oranges)
1 tsp cinnamon
4 slices whole wheat bread (with no corn syrup or hydrogenated oil)
4 pats butter
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 cup fresh blueberries
1. Mix egg whites, vanilla, orange juice, and cinnamon together in
a shallow dish.
2. Soak the bread until it has absorbed most of the liquid. Heat a pan or griddle and add butter.
3. Put bread in pan and pour remaining egg batter onto bread. Cook a few minutes, then flip.
4. Toast is done when both sides are golden. Top with fresh berries and maple syrup.

I was born in Philadelphia Pa May 30, 1956. I graduated from Middlebury College with a BA in Economics in 1978. I have worked in the ski industry in many capacities since 1979, with long stints with McB Sports, K2, Raichle, Fischer, Blizzard, and continuing with Dalbello, Elan, Leki, Transpack, Hotronic, Boot Doc and Screamer Hats. My first job in the ski industry was at the Mogul Ski Shop in downtown Philadelphia during high school.
I live in upstate New York where my family, and our agency, is based. Cycling, skiing, snowboarding and running are my passions outdoors. I started out in the outdoor/snow sports industry 20+ years ago as an enthusiast. I have held just about every position in retail: sales associate, warehouse manager, assistant manager, buyer, shop owner, sub rep, and agency principle.
When I was a kid, all I wanted was to be in the snow. My brothers and I would walk miles with our sleds in hand to the closest hill. It wasn't until I was 12 years old that I rode my first snowboard. I fell in love with it instantly and the next year my Mom bought me one for Christmas. From then on, I would spend 100+ days a year at my local resort aka my second home in Michigan, Nub's Nob.
I started snowboarding in 1987 and after the first turn, I knew I wanted to somehow be involved in the snow sports industry. I moved to Minneapolis and started working part time at Hoigaard's selling winter sports equipment. That opportunity turned into a full-time sales position in the ski/snowboard department where I also worked custom fitting ski boots. Finally, I became the snowboard buyer for Hoigaard's.
I grew up in the Ford Sayre ski program in Hanover NH. During High School I raced for Hanover High & Franconia Ski Club. I also worked very part time with Jack Henderson at Carroll Reed Ski Shop, now owner of Henderson Ski Systems in Quechee VT - his laughter and spirit got me energized about the ski business.
After graduating college 1982 and spending the winter in Aspen, I moved to Denver to pursue a sales job in the ski industry. I started with Gerry Ski Wear located Denver 1983 as s Sales Coordinator- inside sales rep training position. Having my heart set on hard goods, moved to New England in the fall of 1983 to represent Dynamic Skis. In 1984 I took a sales rep position for Atomic and have not looked back since!
Born and raised in Girdwood, Alaska, grew up ski racing at Alyeska Resort. The son of 3rd generation retailers. I started working in a ski shop at 13 and fell in love with the industry. Supported myself through college by working at Bobo's Mogul Mouse in Reno and was hired to do race services for Dynastar/Lange/Look.
I grew up in Maine, skiing the Camden Snowbowl and Sugarloaf before driving out west in the early 70's, skiing all over, and falling in love with Sun Valley. We moved to Sun Valley in 1975 and I got my first taste of the ski business in 1979, when I started working locally with PRE skis, first tuning and hosting on-snow demos at Sun Valley, and then traveling to industry demos around the West.
I started working in the ski industry in 1987 at Perfect North Slopes in Lawrenceburg, IN - working in the rental shop mounting and tuning skis and snowboards. During college I worked for ski and climbing shops to help pay for my undergraduate degree. In 1993 I moved to Boulder, CO were I worked as a buyer and manager for Neptune Mountaineering.
My husband and I started our Rep Group in 1978, the same year we got married. At that time we lived in Florida. We started out with outdoor brands, then crossed over into snow sports. Being a Florida girl, I fell in love with snow and snow skiing. It was the beginning of a very long and fulfilling journey, that we are happy to say, is still evolving.
I grew up in Southern California loving sliding on snow. I started working retail in winter sports at Chicks Sporting Goods. Soon after starting that I realized you could make a living in this business as a rep. I knew that was what I wanted to do. After a little more retail seasoning at Mammoth Mountain Sport Shop I went to work for Rossignol as a Sales Associate.
"The Show was awesome! Tons of traffic and excitement, which we were really excited about. We'll be back every year moving forward. We've gotten new business from being here, and as a launch year, it's been absolutely great."Tracy Bordwell, Creative and Technical Design, Fate Clothing
"As a snow-sports journalist, I find the SIA Snow Show to be an invaluable resource. There's nowhere else I can survey all of the latest gear and get face time with interesting suppliers, retailers, athletes, and other industry movers all in one place."Sam Bass, editor-in-chief, Skiing Magazine
"You have everyone in one place, so you can see everything you need and get an idea of where trends are going. It's a good overview of what's going on in the industry. Last year we picked up a couple new lines that I wouldn't have necessarily picked up had I not gone to SIA. The Show gets you psyched."Jim Slanetz, Owner, Board Bin, ID
"From our standpoint, our line has gotten larger each year, and the exposure at the Show is huge. There are so many people here and this Show seems to grow every year, it's really beneficial for our sales reps to be here."Carrie Crogan, Trade Show Coordinator, Under Armour

Signature Flannel Cases 546 546
Flannel FOREVER! High quality, heavy weight, beautifully dyed (light grey for me!), and screams quality (or at least states it in a easily understood dignified manner). When you finally realize flannel is the answer, slather yourself in these sheets. If you don't spoil yourself, who will, and when? Don't let another winter find you without. Good flannel bed linens are like an all-night hug. April 13, 2015
Best flannel sheets These sheets are outstanding!! Purchased for our guest room, and once my parents slept in them they subsequently purchased for all their guest rooms. They are awesome March 27, 2015
Super soft and long lasting I bought these same sheets 10 years ago and they really lasted for a decade! They are so soft and luxurious every night I slip into between them, I cannot help smiling. March 24, 2015
best flannel I have every owned! I have owned a set of Garnet Hill signature flannel for several years now, and they are the best flannel ever. My set has never pilled and do not shed much lint at all when washed & dried. Where others seem to get thinner over time these get softer and fluffier. I use them year round in my country home, sleeping in these sheets is just heavenly! March 21, 2015
Luxury Sheets These are the only sheets I sleep on(have several sets) and just bought a pink monogramed set. Thick, warm, cuddly, luxurious, launders well( I prefer to hang dry to keep nap thick) Fitted sheet is extra deep to accommodate new bigger mattresses. Beautiful elegant colors that create restfulness. March 20, 2015
Had Such High Hopes I ordered the monogrammed top sheet in white, about 2 months ago. When I first received it I was extremely happy. It looked beautiful on the bed, and as other reviewers have stated, was so soft and smooth it felt like velvet. Now, after 2 months of weekly washing, it is a horrible pilled up mess. No idea why my experience was so different than most. So disappointing. March 19, 2015

In honor of Valentine's Day, TVSource Magazine staff compiled a list of our 14 favorite couples and pairings from our favorite primetime shows!
We all have our favorite couples – the ones that keep us coming back week in and week out, hoping for the faintest glimpse of a shared scene. We root for them to say how much they love each other, wishing they would reunite, wishing they would own up to their true feelings. Whether it's the way they he looks at her, or the way she smiles when he's around, these couples feed our inner "shipper" each week.
Now, for those who don't know (ie live under a rock), a "shipper" is one who supports a fictional romantic relationship – be it for those who are together or those who could potentially be together. You'll see that term used sporadically throughout this piece.
Though it was difficult to only select 14, so don't be surprised if we follow up with an even bigger list soon! It should be noted that these are listed in no particular order.

The Salvatore Brothers & Elena – The Vampire Diaries (The CW)
Vampire Diaries shippers usually fall to one side: Team Stefan or Team Damon. We're planting ourselves firmly in the middle. Damon is the uncontrollable, react without thinking, and gives a damn about no one kind of guy – except for Elena. Stefan is hardened on the outside, but vulnerable beneath the surface. His newfound bad guy attitude has fallen short on Elena this season because she knows him well enough to know he cares. Each is an anti-hero in his own way and we can't help but root for both to get the girl.
See, the truth is we don't care who Elena ends up with when it comes to Damon and Stefan. Each guy brings out a different side of Elena. With Damon supporting her this season, Elena has become more independent, less afraid, and more of aware of the severity of her doppelganger situation. Holding on to her love for Stefan gives her strength and it's that love that forces her to still believe in the good that exists in him and the world around her.
It's a triangle done well. We can't wait to sit back and see how it unfolds, excited when she steals a moment with Damon and feeling our heartbreak when she confronts Stefan. Whose team are you on? Or are you stuck in the middle too?

Adam and Kristina Braverman – Parenthood (NBC)
This is a couple that has stood the test of time. They are a long-married couple, with two teenagers (one with Asperger's Syndrome) and a newborn. On top of that, Adam has lost his job and is embarking on a new and risky career in the music business. If that weren't enough, a young intern is making the moves on Adam in the recording studio. Yet with all these challenges and pressure, Adam and Kristina survive. More, they are still rock-solid and devoted to each other and their children. They are my absolute favorite primetime couple and if the show runners break them up, I may have a nervous breakdown.
{jathumbnail off}
Spencer Hastings and Toby Cavanaugh – Pretty Little Liars (ABC Family)
These two truly bonded for the first time after each of them had been accused of murder; not exactly the foundation on which most high school romances are made of. Spencer and Toby believed in each other's innocence and as they worked together to clear their names, they started to see just how special the other person was. Their relationship has been filled with roadblocks from the start; neither of their families approved and the secrets Spencer harbors continue to come between them. Even with the odds against them, they couldn't help but fall in love.
{jathumbnail off}
Mary Margaret Blanchard/Snow White and David Nolan/Prince "James" Charming – Once Upon a Time (ABC)
It's a FAIRYTALE romance that transcends time and space. What more needs to be said? They are perfect together, and even more perfect when kept apart, as only a true "shipper" can truly understand. Prince Charming is handsome, gallant and noble. Snow is brave, true and feisty. They are simple lovely and have quickly become Once Upon a Time's number one super couple.
In Storybrook, Mary Margaret and David continued to be kept apart thanks to the machinations of Mayor Regina Mills/The Evil Queen, but the pair are now embarking on a forbidden affair that can only create trouble once its exposed.
{jathumbnail off}
Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf – Gossip Girl (The CW)
From the very first episode, the chemistry between these two has been off the charts. She's the Queen Bee – pretty, popular and smart; He's the misunderstood bad boy – selfish, arrogant and prone to making bad choices. But when it boils down to it, Chuck and Blair have an undeniable connection. They're both a little lost and completely determined to be the best. They've hurt each other countless times but their love has only gotten stronger, even when they're apart. They've each proven time and time again that nothing and no one is more important than the love they feel for each other.
{jathumbnail off}
Richard Castle and Kate Beckett – Castle (ABC)
This is a classic case of true love, unspoken. With each passing season, Beckett and Castle have grown closer and closer, until Beckett was shot at the end of last season. As she lay near death, Castle told Kate he loved her. Unbeknownst to him, she actually heard those words and now keeps them to herself, her lovely little secret. Fear and uncertainty keeps them both from taking the final steps to a real relationship, but also keeps fans and viewers tuning in to find out if THIS is the episode they admit their true feelings. Plus, it's a very cute little whodunit murder mystery and Nathan Fillion is funny as all get-out.
{jathumbnail off}
Zoe Hart and Wade Kinsella – Hart of Dixie (The CW)
Relationships that walk the thin line between love and hate are always a pleasure to watch unfold. Wade and Zoe have been bickering since the pilot, but that hasn't stopped them from making out a few times. Their chemistry sparkles whether they're trading insults over breakfast or exchanging longing looks in the middle of a heat wave. Neither of them is quite willing to admit that there's something between them but that doesn't stop jealousy from rearing its ugly head whenever they see the other person with someone else. There are clearly going to be a lot more bumps in their road to coupledom, but seeing them finally give in will be worth the wait.

Robin Scherbatsky and Barney Stinson – How I Met Your Mother (CBS)
Even though they aren't together right now, Barney once said it best, "We're both afraid of commitment, but we also can't live without each other." When the series began Barney was a womanizer with severe commitment phobia, but has grown into a man accepting of his feelings and willing to lay everything on the line for the woman he loves. Robin is terrified of getting back together with Barney because she'll either A) get everything she ever wanted with him or B) get her heart broken again.
Barney and Robin get one another – from cigar smoking to picking up men and women to the lies they force themselves to live. Despite the fact that they're grappling with severe cases of commitment phobia, they're so dependent on one another that they couldn't survive without each other. She calls him out on his sleazy, womanizing ways and he sees through the hardened exterior that hides her vulnerable side. They recognize one another's issues and help carry each other's baggage all around New York City. It may sound cliché but they accept one another for who they are and make each other better people.
This exchange sums up their beautiful train wreck of a relationship perfectly:
Robin: I'm such a mess. Why do you even like me?
Barney: I guess, because you're as messed up as I am.
We've RSVP'd for their wedding and it doesn't even have a date yet.

Emily Thorne & Daniel Grayson – Revenge (ABC)
Emily's relationship with Daniel started out as a plot for revenge, but over time it became increasingly obvious there is more going on. Nolan, Jack, her Japanese trainer friend – they've all realized the depth of the feelings she's trying to hide. Daniel is more than a spoiled, drunk rich boy. He's changed his life for the better and is just wound up in a life of lies and secrets like Emily is. They're suffering for the sins of their parents, the sins of their fathers, and daddy issues are a great foundation for a soapy relationship. If Daniel knew the truth behind what really happened with David Clarke, we have a feeling he'd wind up on Team Emily.
Also, Daniel has brought stability, comfort, and companionship to her life and she does the same for him. And judging from last week's flashback where Emily once told Daniel he was better than his family, we've got a feeling she truly believes that and would never do anything to purposely hurt him. Daniel just may be the thorn in her side that throws her entire plan off kilter.

Nathan and Haley Scott – One Tree Hill (The CW)
Nathan Scott and Haley James Scott have survived everything. "Naley" as they're affectingly referred to by their fans, have overcame Nathan's hatred of his half-brother Lucas (and vice versa), bad high school wardrobes, teen marriage, school shootings, teen pregnancy, Chris Keller, a baby boy, music career, car accidents, life-threatening injuries, Dan Scott, Nanny freaking Carrie, the loss, gain and loss again of a professional sports career, Lucas and Peyton's relationship, kidnappings, death, weddings, jumping off bridges, sports betting, alcoholism, another pregnancy – it never ends. And it's still going on since Nathan is missing. They've loved each through many trials and tribulations without getting divorced or turning their backs on one another. They define what a tested super couple is all about. Their love helps them conquer adversity. Need we say more? This couple is one for the books.

Alicia Florrick and Will Gardner – The Good Wife (CBS)
Why should you love Alicia Florrick and Will Gardner? Better question? Why not? Julianna Margulies and Josh Charles are simply dynamic together! They deliver the sweet moments and manage to leave us swooning with a sweet tooth aching for more. They give us the kind of funny one liners that we find ourselves repeating constantly. They define sexy with scenes that leave us hot and bothered, wanting more. Then there's the angst. Oh, the angst! They rip our hearts out and tear them to teeny tiny pieces and still, we love and adore them. We continue to root for them in spite of the decisions they have made. The best part of their relationship lies in what led up to their romance. Before the start of their hot love affair, they were friends for years – a fact that makes everything between then beautifully genuine.

Will Schuester & Emma Pillsbury – Glee (FOX)
Will and Emma are the not-so-classic, classic root for couple of Glee. We have rooted for them through his failed marriage and hers, his cheating and her OCD. Through it all they have proved that when love is true it can make it through anything. Plus who isn't going to root for a couple when their proposal involves top hats, song, and synchronized swimming. That is why our pick for Glee is the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Schuester!

Jack Porter and Emily Thorne – Revenge (ABC)
Two words describe these two – Soul mates. Emily (really Amanda who, for the sake of this feature, we'll refer to as "Emanda") is one badass chick seeking revenge on people who did her father wrong. Jack stayed in the Hamptons where they grew up to take over his father's bar. These two were kids together, playing in the sand, sharing ice cream, and sharing secrets. Fast forward and now "Emanda" is hiding her true identity from everyone including Jack.
Here's the thing though, when the real Emily pretended to be Amanda, Jack remembered everything about his girl from when they were kid and "Emanda" noticed it. We'll ignore the fact that Jack doesn't recognize her, because no one else in town does either…
Even when he's alone with "Emanda", there's an undeniable current underneath the surface that connects them. So while she puts her revenge plan into motion which includes attaching herself to Daniel Grayson, deep down she knows it's never over with Jack. He knows the real Amanda.

Temperance "Bones" Brennan and Seeley Booth – Bones (FOX)
These two circled each other for what felt like an eternity. Bones and Booth are the yin to each other's yang. One relies on science, facts, and black and white; the other, heart, intuition, and the gray areas of life. Separate they're ok but together they're extraordinary.
Booth humanizes Bones, making her more understanding, whereas Bones loosens up Booth, reminding him to have fun in life. It doesn't hurt that Booth is easy on the eithers either. Like most destined couples, everyone around them saw what lied between the two of them before they acknowledged it. When Bones revealed she was pregnant with Booth's baby, his sweet, small smile said more than any words could. As they prepare to have their child, these two continue to work on navigating work and home roles on an endearing roller coaster ride.

I picked up a metal cart at an auction and have been sitting in the garage for several months and just recently a plasma cutter off craigslist. So why not combine the Millermatic 135 and plasma onto one cart. The most significant changes, narrowed both trays by 4, shortened the top tray by 10 and put it on a 10˚ angle. It did not turn out as well as I wanted but it is functional.
Things I learned:
My fab skills need lots of work.
My plasma cutting skills are primeval
My welding talent is as expected, weekend welder.
All n all, I had fun and can say I did it.

New Welding Cart
I think you did a great, serviceable job! A few minutes with a grinder and then wire brush, metal primer and finish coat and you won't be able to tell it from commercial!
What kind of Plasma cutter did you get? How much? What do you think of it?
I'm looking at the Thermal Dynamics Drag-Gun Plus but I'll have to save my pennies for a long while to get one. I would like to be able to cut whatever I can one-pass weld with my MM180.

It does look better painted.
Several pics loaded with the Millermatic 135 and the Thermo Dynamics Cutmaster 51 plasma.
I picked the plasma up from Craigslist for $500 and it was a 3 hour drive. But it's 4 years old and sold for over $1500 new so I think I got a pretty good deal. I'm eye balling a Miller Mig 210 for $800 to. Lots of bargines in the tools section.
nice job!!!!!!!!!I'm not late...

This story was corrected on Aug. 9. An explanation follows the story.
Ming Li is talking to the state Department of Natural Resources. He's been meeting with the Maryland Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Li, an oceanographer, has spent the past two years studying the Chesapeake Bay, and while his findings have been published in national and international journals, they are little known outside the scientific community. He's doing his best to change that.
"People aren't aware of the research," said Li, a professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, whose focus is the impact of climate change on the Bay.
The results are not encouraging. After coastal areas like Louisiana and southern Florida, the Chesapeake Bay region is the most vulnerable to coastal inundation, a scientific term that means land is submerged under water.
"It could be slow and gradual, or it could be episodic storm surges," said Li, who works out of UMCES' Horn Point Laboratory in Cambridge. The lab is an interdisciplinary, environmentally oriented research facility that is part of the University System of Maryland. His research is funded by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency and the National Science Foundation.
Coastal inundation is not Li's only Bay-related project. His research team of eight graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, which often works in collaboration with other scientists, is studying marine pollution from, for example, oil spills; the dynamics between estuaries and coastal oceans, particularly the rising salinity in the Chesapeake and Delaware bays that could affect the drinking water supply to Philadelphia; and plankton production in the Bay and North Carolina.
Li splits his time between research, which may find him sitting in front of his computer or on the water positioning test buoys and wind devices, and teaching graduate-level courses, mostly for University of Maryland, College Park, students, from an interactive, real-time setup at Horn Point.
Before joining UMCES in 2001, Li was a research scientist at the Institute of Ocean Sciences, a Canadian government facility in Victoria, British Columbia, where, the soft-spoken professor noted dryly, "They don't get a lot of hurricanes."
His first experience with a hurricane was 2003's Isabel, which found him leaving a conference in Seattle early to get home to his wife and two sons.
"I've been fascinated by [hurricanes] since then," said Li, who lives in Salisbury, a 40-minute drive to Horn Point, where he is part of a faculty and staff of some 125, he estimates.
Storm surges rising
In 2003, Hurricane Isabel, one of the deadliest and costliest weather events on the East Coast, had a storm surge of six feet. In 2050, the same storm could well have a surge of eight feet, Li says.
Moreover, in the 1950s, the East Coast experienced nine major storms and five hurricanes off the Atlantic Ocean. Now, the average is 15 major storms and nine hurricanes. The reason, Li says, is that as the ocean becomes warmer, it provides more energy for storms and hurricanes.
Throughout the 20th century, the mean sea level in the Chesapeake Bay rose 3 to 4 millimeters per year (3.1 mm equals about one-tenth of an inch), or about 1 foot compounded over a century, say Li and other scientists, based on observations from NOAA satellites and tide gauges.
Due to land subsidence — another scientific term that means the land is sinking — relative sea level rise in the Bay is about twice the global average.
Because of climate change and consequent results like glacier melt, the rate in the 21st century is accelerating two to three times that of the 20th century, Li contends. By the end of this century, he predicts the mean sea level in the Bay will be 3 feet above the current level.
The higher mean sea level is not the only factor in measuring coastal inundation. The other is the height of the high sea level, which is a combination of the mean sea level and the tide.
Thanks to the warming of the water, high tide is getting higher as well, Lee says. The tidal range in the Chesapeake Bay region, Baltimore and its tributaries could well increase by one-half to one foot over the course of the 21st century, in addition to the three-foot-higher mean sea level.
Put another way, as the Bay's water level gets higher, there is less resistance when tides from the ocean move in, and the height of tidal waves increases.
Research on coastal inundation in Louisiana suggests that when the sea level is higher, the storm surge rises by a factor of 1.2 to 1.3 percent over past storm surges.
Li is finding similar results on the Bay, he said.
Climate change, also called global warming, remains a controversial topic. Scientists are developing models that study greenhouse gas and climate change. Some scientists debate the link between climate change and an increase in storms, though Li's research doesn't focus on that connection.
There's also debate about acceleration in sea level rise because of climate change.
Just this week the Democratic governor of North Carolina let a watered-down bill, approved by the Republican-dominated legislature, take effect requiring that the state look at all available studies and data on the issue when it develops policies regarding sea rise.
A 2010 study by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science argues that the sea level rise in the Chesapeake Bay is modest and that the rate at which the land is sinking accounts, on average, for half of the relative sea rise.
Nonetheless, the sea level rise, combined with the locally high rate of land subsidence and an increasing coastal population, adds up to a "significant and growing threat," according to the study's researchers, who warn of the increased likelihood of coastal flooding during hurricanes and nor'easters in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.
Part of Li's research focuses on developing a system to predict storm surges and overland inundation. He has devised a model that can predict the height of a storm, where it will hit the hardest and how long the high water will last.
When he entered water and weather data for 2011's Hurricane Irene, the model correctly predicted exactly how the storm would play out.
Plotting storms house by house
Dr. Sophie Wang, a computer science professor at Salisbury University, is collaborating with Li on visualization software for his model.
Using Li's model for data on wind speed and water levels, combined with data from local governments on building regulations and housing heights, Wang uses Google Earth to predict neighborhood by neighborhood, street by street and house by house what different weather events would look like. A test application of the technology for Cambridge during 2003's Hurricane Isabel turned out to be accurate.
"If you have a tropical storm of a certain magnitude, this is what will happen," Wang said. "If you have a waterfront house, this is where the sea level will be."
The software is still in the development stage and isn't ready for commercialization. But Wang and Li are already getting inquiries from, among others, insurance companies and geographic information systems companies.
As a member of the House's Environmental Matters Committee, Del. Dana M. Stein (D-Dist. 11) of Pikesville has heard testimony on climate change and become familiar with the topic.
He points to the 2008 Maryland Climate Action Plan, developed by the governor-appointed Maryland Commission on Climate Change, which reports to Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) and the General Assembly. Among the plan's goals is to reduce the state's vulnerability to weather events.
"Li's findings are very credible" in that regard, said Stein, who has researched the topic himself for an apocalyptic novel he wrote set in a globally warmed future.
Li's model can be used for coastal planning and designing emergency response strategies. Both the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Maryland Emergency Management Agency are in the process of doing so, according to officials.
Zoe Johnson, of DNR's Office for a Sustainable Future, has collaborated with Li on a number of projects over the years.
"His research helps us better understand the magnitude and range impacts," said Johnson, whose office helps coastal communities plan for sea level rise and coastal storms.
Likewise, Ed McDonough, MEMA spokesman, says Li's finding on stronger and more frequent storms is a consideration in the agency's planning process. In fact, independent of Li's research, McDonough says that MEMA in its response to hurricanes and storms is anticipating a greater level of flooding than in the past because of sea level rise.
"There are places in western Dorchester County, like Hooper Island, that are one to five feet above sea level, so even minor changes in that level and the way storms hit could impact a large land mass," said McDonough, who added that Li's research applies not only to the Chesapeake Bay but to coastal areas like Ocean City, Assateague Island and Worcester County's bays.
Said Li: "People like waterfront properties because of the beautiful views, but they're not thinking of the risk."
A quote from Ed McDonough, spokesman for the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, should have made reference to Hooper Island in Dorchester County.

White Noise: News on As I Lay Dying, AC/DC, Immortal, Limp Bizkit, Throwdown and More
Isn't it awesome when bands rip on former members, something like five years after it actually matters? While cruising for news this morning, we came across an item about Korn. Essentially, frontman Jonathan Davis said in a recent interview that original members Brian 'Head' Welch and David Silveria didn't really contribute much to the band's initial recordings.

OK, I've heard a number of retired, older NFL players say that if they went back to using leather helmets that would reduce the concusion risks. Initially I thought that was a crazy idea, but after some thought and after seeing that HBO special on the Saints player with ALS I think it IS a good idea just a little extreme.
There is no denying the dangers of multiple concusions. The evidence is already stacked up pretty high and it seems to be getting clearer all the time.
What about if they added some kind of inflatable cushion, like a crumpler zone to the front of the helmet?
The NFL would not be compromising the logos on the Helmets. It would not weigh anything or impede player vision.
There is no denying that players lead with the crown of their helmets and intentionally use the crown as a rhino horn. It is ugly and really unnecesary. The NFL will at some point be forced to deal with the mounting medical evidence. I would much rather see them proactively remove or reduce the risk than see them continue to butcher the rules every year.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
We are forming The Royston Disc Golf Club in o'course, Royston Ga.We play Sunday doubles for no charge now, just braging rights. Thought, are their different disc golf games a group can play other than doubles ?
Views: 216
Though they are variations of doubles..there's best shot, worst shot, and alternate shot. They all make things a little more interesting. Other than that I can only think of the Ript or Ript revenge cards.
String Golf
This object of the game in string golf is the same as regular play, except that each player or team gets a certain amount of string that he can use to lengthen his throw. Ideally, he would use it to lengthen the length of a putt so that he lowers his score by a stroke.
Sorry Dude
This variation gives each player in the group a certain number of "Sorry Dudes". He uses a Sorry Dude to force another player in the group to throw again, ideally after he has thrown a good throw. I have seen players ace a hole and then have to throw again because someone said Sorry Dude. This format can be used in individual play as well as team play. If the announced rules included it, it could even be used to permit a team member to throw over a bad shot.
Wolf is a bit odd to follow when you first play it. Ideally it is played with an odd number of players as a group, commonly 5. The person designated as the wolf for the hole waits for each other person to tee off. After each person drives, he can take him as his partner for that hole, or pass. The other players are then the opposing team. If he doesn't select any player, the last person to drive is his partner by default. Each person has an even number of turns to play as the wolf. Scores are kept individually. The wolf always throws last.
Each player's score is taken from his team's score.
Later in the game there is strategy involved. For example, in order to keep a contender from taking the lead, he can be selected as the partner, insuring the wolf and the contender score the same on a hole.
One variation on the rule is that the wolf may elect to play individually against the other players, as "lone" wolf.
Stay away from worst shot in a random draw situation. It can work out poorly if a good player gets paired with a poor player. The good player will become irrelevant. I could possibly see playing alternate shot doubles.
We played Australian rules doubles one time where the "partners" get switched around. We did that one time with a group of three. Wolf is pretty interesting but there is a bit of extra score keeping involved.
You should at least take a buck from everyone for an ace pool. That can build up fast and makes a nice payout if you get one.
We do a game here on the last sunday of each month called Diablo Doubles, 6 holes of worst shot, 6 holes of alternating shot, and 6 holes of best shot......666....Though Jim is right about worst shot in random draw, sucks to get paired with a below average player....oh wait....that would be me...
There are lots of different games, limited only by your imagination.
The beauty of Best Shot is everyone understands it and it is popular, most players like it. It is easily adaptable to groups of diverse talents. The more diverse the talents of the group, the more Best Shot is a good choice. The more similar the skills, the more you can get away with the harder formats (alternate shot, tough shot, etc.)
For years I ran a doubles league and created games based on the number of players and their skill level, trying to make the fairest game possible. I learned that the Pros hated this. Pros expect to win if they play well. They don't like handicapping even though it pushes them to play well. So Pros prefer random draw to a Pro/Am split. They want the chance to draw a top partner too.
The problem with Pro/Am doubles is the constant hassle deciding who fits in which group. The benefit is that it is fairer. Oh and you may drive the Pros away. After a couple of weeks of a Pro playing well but not cashing with a weak partner they may not return.
The presence of Pros (or the best players in the area by whatever term) is valuable to a league. Not so much for prestige (and certainly not for charm :) but because lesser players can learn from them. Even a Pro who has no interest in sharing tips with others still can be learned from, just by watching them. The fastest way to improve is by playing with better players so everyone benefits by attracting the Pros.
So while keeping the Pros somewhat happy what else can be done to aid the lesser or beginning players and make the process just a bit fairer? Several things. Say there are true beginners or Amateur women with much less power than the average guy. You can allow these players to throw from shorter tee pads. You can combine the two weakest players together as one (so that team will be a 3 member team while everyone else is a 2 some). This is also a way to resolve an odd number of players others than a Cali ( aka Odd Dog, etc.). You can give the weakest players mulligan(s).
By helping out the weakest/newest players it makes them more valuable to a team and therefore more accepted by their teammate. Unfortunately some Pros treat weak players like them have a disease or something.
You can limit the number of drives used per round from one player ( so, for example, one member's drives can only be used for 12 holes). You can force the Pros to throw rollers on X number of holes (depending on the course and how many roller friendly holes there are). You can disallow solo deuces (so if one member drives the other has to make the putt).
Another option is 3 man teams. If the numbers and skills break down properly, sometimes each team can have one Pro and 2 Ams.
Best Score is a good game. Both partners play singles but you only record the best score on each hole for the team.
Blind skins is a good twist. Every player puts a buck in the blind skins pot. The teams play best shot. After the round the cards are checked to see if anyone threw a skin (the single best score on a hole). So say hole # 6 is a really tough hole and only one team deuced it, they win a skin ( typically aces don't count as a skin since there is a separate ace pool). Divide the number of skins by the pool and that is the payout. If no skins were hit it carries over to the next week.
The most important aspect of the format is that the players like it, so whatever you do, seek feedback from the group.
Best shot doubles is by far the beat league format IMHO. We also do play singles and allow for lesser players to go for the B pool. That way they can compete against others of the same skill level. If they win the B pool too many times they are bumped to the A pool.
For best shot doubles we really don't do any sort of handicapping other than giving three strokes to a B pool player who gets Cali or the same for two B pool players who get paired together. It simply isn't fair to give three strokes to an individual who then gets paired with the best player. Our best player could probably beat all of the teams by himself. One time he drew Cali, paid in the extra five bucks in order to get two shots per hole, and proceeded to get the course record of 18 down by getting 16 birdies and one ace. He parred one hole and from what I heard barely missed hitting a long putt on that hole.
Best shot doubles has a way of evening the playing field just because of the format. It is rare that one team will run away with it. Often the winning score will be one or two clear of the next best pair. And of course with random draw you always have the chance of drawing the best player or the worst player out there. If you draw the worst player you just have to hone your skills and see if you can be the anchor for the team. Sometimes you will also draw a partner who doesn't "gel" with you and that can be difficult. When you get a partner that shares good "chemistry" with you a low round can be had.
I am also not a fan of trying to "equalize" the game. Talent and good shots should be rewarded. A friend of mine insists that we should find a way to encourage lesser players to come out for league. If this involves handicapping or trying to "level the playing field" then I am against it because as Mark said the better players like to be tested with no strings attached and they like to have their talent rewarded. If you want bad players to come out for league then maybe you should just pay them to show up or pay out for the worst score. Of course nobody would like that at all.
We have a competitive league here and I hope that it stays that way. Quite a few of the good players come out for league and it is always challenging and fun. The Ace Pool is also a nice incentive to play. We had all kinds of people show up for league when our Ace Pool got over $500.
I'm not sure what to make of this...
A local guy is wanting to test a new format. I know that we will still be having our weekly doubles in which competition is the name of the game (and playing for money).
The Pike's Peak club site referenced in in Jim's post above does not do a great job of explaining the games to be tested by the league. It looks like it has Safari Holes, 1 Disc Doubles and Alternate Shot Dbls.
Some games work better than others for particular purposes. Whatever the game it should be fun and develop a useful skill.
Safari Holes are cool. Most people play the same course time after time, honing a very small number of shots. Put them on a different course and the shots they have memorized may do little to prepare them for the new challenges. Safari holes let you use a home course and create new holes so you learn new shots.
Not all Safari Holes are good holes. Some are dumb with no fairways, playing through swamps and thickets. So Safari Holes, like any other, need to be well chosen/designed. Safari Holes are best when the course/playing area is vacant (for safety and speed of play reasons). Safari Holes would be unworkable for a large league on a crowded course.
One Disc formats (you must use the same disc for every shot) allow you to expand the usefulness of one disc and to learn that one disc much better. The problem is this skill does not transfer well. If I learn to putt with a driver how does this help me in my next tournament? Not all skills are all that useful. The quirkier the skill (throwing opposite handed rollers while blindfolded) the less it transfers. A much faster and more useful way to learn one disc is to take it out and practice with it.
Alternate Shot Doubles are challenging. You find yourself in spots you don't normally throw from (as you must use your partner's drive) and it is a mental challenge to recover from your partner's bad shots (we always blame ourselves less than others). Another advantage is speed of play (fewer shots take less time). The downside is you walk the whole course and throw half of it. And your scores suffer compared to Best Shot, so the frustration level is higher, placing the onus on the weaker partner.
I enjoy playing Safari. Often times we just do it casually and rotate as to who gets to pick the next Safari hole. Safari doubles can be fun.
I'm just not a big fan of "gimmick" golf where you do something different just to say that you did. We then risk devolving into something like miniature golf where you have to shoot through the clown. While that may be both fun and interesting it doesn't in the end translate into real world skills which could be useful (as Mark mentioned). I'm not sure what to make of this new effort at a new league. We have a decent Sunday league right now where we play best shot doubles. It is quite popular and everyone throws in $5 (and $1 for the Ace Pool). These "equalization" schemes just don't do it for me and as Mark mentioned previously the Pro players probably won't care too much for it. We shall see. I will still be going to Doubles on Sunday and I also plan on running a Doubles league on Thursdays in the summer. People show up to play best shot doubles.

Net profits were ahead of analysts' consensus forecasts of €290 million-€295 million and sales were broadly in line with consensus forecasts. Linde's earnings per share, adjusted for the acquisition last August of home health-care company Lincare Holdings, were €1.89, also in line with forecasts. The Lincare deal, as well as Linde's acquisition early this year of...

National Alliance on Mental Illness

NAMI FaithNet Newsletter: January 5, 2007
In this issue:
The Reverend Chet Watson: Warrior and Saint
Since his son was diagnosed with a serious mental illness 17 years ago, Rev. Chet Watson has been both warrior and saint on behalf of those with mental illnesses and their families.
Whether he is soothing the battered hearts of those with mental illnesses or challenging policymakers or fellow clergy to open their eyes to how critical mental health issues are, Fr. Chet leaves a big wake wherever he goes.
In a recent interview, Fr. Chet talked about how individuals and churches can have a greater impact in the lives of those affected by mental illness. Read more…
Grassroots Strategy: Focus on Caregiving Ministries
NAMI member Carlene Byron has developed a two-hour training course for helping congregations respond to mental illness. However, as she notes, it takes somewhat of a "sideways" approach. Instead of trying to reach general audiences, the training is targeted toward a particular group: lay people already involved in caregiving ministries.
These people--Stephen Ministers, diaconates, and so forth--are already committed to caregiving as a primary form of service within the congregation, she says, but often feel unequal to the task of helping congregants challenged by their own or their relative's mental illness.
That's where her training course comes in. Read more…
An Open Letter to Pastors
Marja Bergen recently had a friend with bipolar disorder say to her, "I've gone to church nearly all my life and I've just heard about mental illnesses mentioned once, and just in passing. When I was hospitalized, some people came from the church, but they just prayed for the devil to leave me."
As a person with mental illness herself, and a person of faith, Ms. Bergen found this tragic. So she posted a letter on her blog calling for congregations – specifically, pastors -- to do something about it. Read more…
Wanted: Interfaith Resources
The mission of NAMI's FaithNet is to support people of all religious faiths in mental illness outreach, education, and advocacy. In order to fulfill that mission, we need information and resources from a broader variety of faith traditions than we currently have.
If you are aware of materials, publications, events, Web sites, or persons that address mental illness from a faith perspective, please let us know about them by replying to this newsletter or e-mailing email@example.com. This might include articles, sermons, blogs, presentations, courses, newsletters, etc. We need you to be our eyes and ears so we can truly support the entirefaith community.
Pass It On!
Know of someone who could benefit from the information in this newsletter? Please forward it on, and encourage them to sign-up for their own subscription by visiting http://www2.nami.org/subscribe. New editions are published every 3-4 weeks.

The Dolphins structured a lot of their incentives to a winning season. Nick Saban got hot at the end of the season and finished at 9-7.
He's talking about the cap adjustment.....er......cap debit of over $9 million. That will also make some NLTBE's in 2006 change into LTBE's

http://www.speedymetals.com has 1" OD DOM tubing in quite a few different wall thicknesses up to 1/4".
As a practical matter... you could go down to Lowes or your local hardware store and purchase a length of heavy wall black iron pipe... it should be plenty strong and durable... no to mention inexpensive and easily procured locally...
AND for the guy that is gonna pipe up with something about "Iron"..... relax... it is made of steel.... and as a historical note.... many early motorcycle frames were built from "Gas Pipe"..... which is the same stuff....
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
Buy the best tools you can afford.. Learn to use them to the best of your ability.. and take care of them...
My Blue Stuff:

Millermatic 350P w/25ft Alumapro & 30A
Millermatic 200
TONS of Non-Blue Equip, plus CNC Mill, Lathes & a Plasmacam w/ PowerMax-1000
Mcmaster Carr. Look them up on the web. They sell almost everything including metals. You'll pay top dollar plus shipping but have it the next day. I use them all the time when in a bind. They sell short lengths so it's good if you need something odd & don't want to buy a full length.
Metal Depot also on the web.
Even Lowes, Home Depot or local hardware, plumbing supply. Sometimes it's plated, galvanized but if your in a jam you make it work.
Look up steel suppliers, fab shops in your area.

Not much of a fabricator if you don't know where to get the materials you need to do a project. I don't think I would want to ride one of your creations, or even ride near it on the road.

Man lot's of wild punches being thrown here for sure. If the dude is looking to get something done he most likely hoped someone close could part with a piece of 1" stock. Its his build and i along with the others on here have no idea of the application or use except for the brief description he gave us. You build what you can sell or use anything more is just a waste of time, space and money. Build on and be proud of what you have accomplished.

I've got 2' of 1" round. I can mail it to you for $688.88.
Or, I can ride across the country and hand it to you personally for $14,888.88.
Of course I don't have a cool facebook page with a circa 2003 groovy height of the latest chopper craze name, so you might not accept material from me.
Let me know. Or you can drive a mile or thirtyfour and buy some like a real business.
Good grief man.

I need about 18" of 3/4 inch black electrical tape. Just have one splice to do. I'd rather not buy a whole roll for just one splice.
Any body got a real small roll you could send me?

Celebrities — Oklahoma natives and otherwise — have been expressing their thoughts and offering prayers for the victims of the state's storms on Monday.
"Pray. That's all we [c]an do. Pray for peace for Oklahoma." — Miranda Lambert tweeted. Lambert and husband Blake Shelton live in Tishomingo, OK., which is about 100 miles away from Moore, OK.
"I'm thinking about and praying for my beautiful home state and the people in it tonight. Growing up in tornado alley, you always know what could happen. It doesn't change how devastating it is when something does happen. #pray." — Carrie Underwood tweeted. Underwood grew up in Checotah, OK, about 120 miles from Moore, OK.
"All my prayers go out to the folks in Oklahoma dealing with these tornados. Stay safe everyone!" — Oklahoma native Reba McEntire tweeted.
"Praying for my fellow Oklahomans!" — Kristin Chenoweth
"Stopped to spend the night in Shawnee, Okla. Just woke up to another tornado hitting Moore. Right in front of it!" In a follow-up tweet, he wrote, "We got out just before it hit. Those poor people. We will help when and where we can." — Ronnie Dunn tweeted Monday
"This storm has devastated the community that I grew up in. I rode my bike through those neighborhoods. I have family and friends in Moore. My heart and prayers go to those that have lost so much. But Moore is strong and we will persevere. God be with you all." — Toby Keith said in a statement
"My thoughts & prayers are with my home state of Oklahoma. May God's love & grace be with all affected by these horrible storms." — Rascal Flatts' Joe Don Rooney tweeted
"Just landed in LA and hearing about all the tornados in Oklahoma right now... Get somewhere safe!" — Blake Shelton tweeted after hearing about the gravity of the serious storms.
"It's so common every year around this time and it's not out of the norm, but the weird thing is the last 48 hours has been kind of a riot for my mom. She's literally been in a closet off and on for the past 48 hours and it's just been nuts and they are still on a watch until 11 p.m. tonight. You are used to it being from there but at the same time when you get that many times from your mom in two days, it's a little unnerving. When she called me today she was rattled because the tornado was just a few exits away.
...You just have to batten down the hatches when that stuff happens. We're all used to it, but you never think it's going to happen to your family. But we've all learned in the last few years it can very easily be your family because it goes through there so common, right through Moore and Norman. It's a scary deal." — country singer Bryan White, an Oklahoma native, told The Tennessean.
Many celebrities in the Nashville area who did not grow up in Oklahoma, also offered their support in the last 24 hours via Twitter.
"God Bless Oklahoma victums — prayers are with all the families — will wake up tomorrow and start working on the best way to help." — Kix Brooks
"I grew up in tornado alley. Amarillo,TX. There's nothing more terrifying than that "sound" bearing down on you. #prayforoklahoma ... 2morrow I'll give a FREE download. "DREAMS IN THE DUST" is about life in tornado alley. Every D-load earns $1 to #redcross #prayforoklahoma" — John Rich tweeted Monday night
"We love you, Oklahoma. Our thoughts and prayers are with you tonight. #prayforoklahoma" — Little Big Town

About LIM College
Fashion Show Production classes direct classmates on the catwalk
Themes draw from Michael Jackson, fairy tales, and the homeless
On Tuesday, November 10th, Prof. Ionia Dunn Lee's Fashion Show Production classes staged a fashion show with a three-part theme. Prof. Dunn Lee's three sections of the class each chose their own theme, and the three classes collaborated in producing the show. The themes were "Hot Mess," where students turned to the homeless for inspiration and the clothes were made from materials that could be found on the streets, like paper, plastic bags, or duct tape. "Mesmerizing Mischief" was inspired by Disney characters and fairy tales in general, with entries informed by The Little Mermaid, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Wicked Witch in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The third theme, called "Moonwalk" in a tribute to Michael Jackson, was complete with military jackets and single gloves.
In Prof. Dunn Lee's classes, the students learn all the elements that go into producing a fashion show, and the fashion show they produce is their final project.
