The blue paint is the icing on the cake!
( My tools are red, My welders are blue. )
I think the first cart is the way to roll. I even looked at it twice just to make sure it wasn't bolted together somehow.
All joking aside, you came out with a fine looking cart. I agree, the drawer shouldn't be to big of a hassle to add on.

Ron Jaworski has been doing Dailey QB rankings, and today he ranked Ryan Tannehill #24.
He says he expects an improvement in year 2, given a better receiving corp. he said one positive trait Tanny showed in year 1 was the ability to re-adjust in the pocket while under pressure. What he will need to improve on is keeping the secondary in mind while focussing on his receivers (what I could decifer from closed caption, no sound on TV at work). He says expect a big year and improvements in year 2.
Will post a video as soon as its available.
Hopefully Tanny can crack the top 10 next year.

PHOTOS: 1 Bryant Park Tower Gets LEED Platinum Certification!
Housing the new headquarters of the financial giant Bank of America, the green features implemented in this design quickly allowed it to rack up all the points it needed to garner its LEED Platinum rating. Quite uncommon for a tower of its size, the new building employs a system for rainwater catchement and reuse, greywater recycling, energy efficient building systems, and high performance glass which maximizes day-lighting and minimizes solar heat gain and loss. However, it's the state-of-the-art, onsite 4.6-megawatt cogeneration plant that really gets the 'oohs' and 'ahhs' going. The advanced system provides a clean and efficient power source for the building's energy requirements, significantly reducing its reliance on the NYC grid. The system also perfectly compliments an incredible cooling system that produces and stores ice during off-peak hours, and then uses the ice phase transition to help cool the building during peak load. Another remarkable innovation is the air purification system – not only is the air entering the building purified to a high standard, but the air exhausted is also cleaned, effectively making the tower a giant air filter for Midtown Manhattan. With an area of over 2 million square feet, this level of green technology in one building is nothing short of remarkable.

Great little article! I was pleased to discover your website which seems quite fascinating. However I was a little put off by what I believe to be an error in the article.
I take issue with the factual accuracy of the following statement, "Today we're thrilled to announce that the green tower has just achieved LEED Platinum certification, making it the world's first office tower to reach the USGBC's highest rating!"
I'm not sure exactly how you are defining office tower, but the Joe Serna Jr. Cal/EPA Headqrtrs Bldg. in Sacramento, CA achieved a LEED Platinum certification almost 7 years ago. (can be verified at this website: http://www.usgbc.org/LEED/Project/CertifiedProjectList.aspx) Granted it is only a 25 story office tower, but it is an office tower with a Platinum certification.
August 20, 2010 at 5:25 pm
Its is all good news, but what is the Bank of America or the owner of the building benefiting from this? What are there reason, why do they want to do this. However i would love for them to try and promote this by having other organization on on board.
August 19, 2010 at 2:53 pm
yes, but who did the Engineering?

This really is an interesting building and the photos do an amazing job of capturing it! After looking at these pictures I really want to go see it!

Hanging out with Jay Leno
I was standing around on Magnolia Blvd in Burbank talking with a friend earlier today and I see this bitchin 1965 Ford Galaxy 500 come rumbling down the road. When it passed by I saw that it was Jay Leno driving. He turned a block away and parked. That's when I realized he heading to the corner auto book store. So we walked down and as we got there, he comes out to his car and a small group of people were there as he opened the hood and showed the engine. Sweet ride man. We were talking with him about the car for about 5 minutes. It was great. He's really friendly and down to earth. I would've taken a cel phone photo but I didn't want to play the fan too much and just took in the experience. That's been the highlight of my day so far. Burbank is a unique town.

Re: Hanging out with Jay Leno
I've never met Jay Leno, but numerous reports are that he's a cool guy, and he had his Mr. Nice Guy status for a long time until his fiasco with Conan O'Brien.
I opine that he is still a Nice Guy--just avoid going head-to-head against him on the stage!
Re: Hanging out with Jay Leno
Nice bit of luck Charles! I, too, have heard great things about Jay and his friendly nature.
I'm also a huge fan of that bookstore. They just moved and I can't wait to go in and see their new digs. Its the only place I've been able to find any extensive collection of Formula One paraphernalia.
Re: Hanging out with Jay Leno
I've seen him driving around town a before, mostly in old Model Ts or some other really vintage auto, but this is the first time I was at the same place he was. What struck me about Jay is the color of his eyes. A really very light bluish gray color. Also, he's not as tall as I imagined him to be from the way he appears on TV. He's very personable and it's cool that a celebrity as high profile as him gets out in public and mingles like every day people.
Daily Z
Re: Hanging out with Jay Leno
That's way cool. I got invited to a ritzy car show fundraiser a couple of years back where he performed a one hour stand-up routine. I was surprised that he still did that, being the host of one of the most successful shows on T.V. I guess money can get you anything...even an hour with America's most famous T.V. personalities. I think the fact that the fundraiser was part of a car show might have had something to do with it too. It was a small banquet hall type room, so it felt very intimate and I was sitting just a few feet away from him...pretty great experience. One thing about Leno that I walked away with that night -The man is a pro. He had complete control of that crowd. You could tell he just had so much material and really knew what he was doing up there.

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Wynton Marsalis Discussion → Wynton Marsalis Discussion → Thread
This is a neat/funny story of the first (and only) time I met Wynton Marsalis.
Wynton has been, by far, my favorite trumpet player, and as soon as I saw he was coming to my city, I bought the best possible ticket I could the minute they went on sale (3 months before the show!) The night the show came (last October, 2006), I ended up arriving several hours before the show and saw the tour bus parked behind the hall. I decided to hang around in hopes that I might catch Wynton on his way out of the sound check… and I did!! I walked down the street with him and talked for a bit… it felt unreal that I was actually walking beside and chatting with this man! He invited me to come back stage after the show and then proceeded to his hotel.
At the end of the show, the band finished their encore number and I ran up to the stage waving at Wynton. He signaled to me, and I, being too excited and oblivious to the fact that the nearly sold-out audience of 2,000+ people was still watching and applauding, jumped on stage and walked off with Wynton's band!!! Backstage I didn't say much, as I was simply blown away by the fact that I was hanging out with Wynton and his band after a gig! I got his autograph as well as a photo (he gave me his pen that he signed the autograph with, which is now "sacred" to me). This was probably the most awesome experience I've ever had, and has been one of the biggest inspirations to my own trumpet playing.
Cool story, Cameron!
Wynton has always a great heart :)
True, Luigi
Next time he's in town I better ask him for a lesson! :)
Well I came across Wynton Marsalis' phone number one evening after getting in contact with his father Ellis.
His father, God rest his soul was on the brink of death and felt that touching the life of one young individual was more important than being stubborn about it. I talked to his father two weeks before his death and then again three days before. It was a shock to me to find that he had died that day and i had requested a moment of silence at our school. My 1st period class stood in silence for 30 seconds as I payed my homage to the late great Ellis Marsalis.
So two weeks before his death, he gave me Wynton's house phone number. I attempted to call and call before I finally realized Wynton was out of town, it was even posted here i do believe. Regardless, I finally got through to Wynton and my friend Brantley and I spoke to this God-like trumpeteer last summer. Hearing his voice gave me goosebumps and since then, i've called him regularly to take some sort of trumpet lessons.
He truly is an amazing touch of genius, may god bless his family and his father.
1st_Chair….Hmmm…Ellis II (Wynton's father) is alive and well….his grandfather Ellis Sr. died last year or so…is that who you spoke to? If so…please get your facts straight before posting.
THanks Juan
I'm sorry for not saying this correctly,
I spoke to Wynton's Father on the telephone and thought that when I saw Ellis Marsalis' death on the news that evening that it was his father. This confused me highly and I payed my respects to his grandfather that day
I never called back because I figured he had passed on
I'm sorry to you all
Hello fans. I just wanted to ask when did Wynton's Father died? I did not know that he died. I just gotten back from using the forum/website and I found out from the forum that Wynton's father died. I would like a response. Thanks.
!!!!!....read 2 inches above and you will see that he is alive and well….
Thanks Juanmustard. I seen what you were talking about.
Does he give lessons?
Mine was similar and i got front row tickets and all his band signed my old style bach case (exempting Wynton himself) :(

About Our BEWITCHED Merchandise
Bewitched is a sitcom that aired on ABC from 1964 to 1972. The classic show centered around a young witch named Samantha who gives up her powers after marrying a normal guy named Darrin so that she could become a housewife. This decision is frowned upon by Sam\'s family and they often meddle in their lives, using spells to mix things up to provide hilarity in each episode. Our wonderful line of Bewitched t-shirts are just a flick and a nose twitch away! Cast a spell with our Bewitched t-shirts, made with quality so high you\'d think they were created with magic!

Recently, I read an editorial by Micah Clark, executive director of the American Family Association in Indiana. I am writing this article not only in response to his but as a resume to all Hoosiers on why I am qualified for marriage. Clark made an argument that preventing gay people from attaining marriage is similar to preventing blind, 14-year-old or intoxicated citizens from driving. As unrelated and disturbing as it is to make that analogy, Clark was making the argument that gay people do not meet the standards for the role of marriage. It is better to keep a small group of people off the road so they do not injure the rest of us, either because of immaturity, physical inability or lacking responsibility to perform the tasks correctly.
I could cite research on children growing up in gay households, present statistics and quote court cases. I could outline some analogies, slippery slopes, build a straw man and quote one person from the fringe of Clark's ideology. I will not do that. I believe this issue transcends the typical "two sides-you decide" argument that is so often presented as the norm in modern debate. Arguing this issue in that format seems to me as trivial and reprehensible as having to present research on why two people with different colored skin should be allowed to marry.
What I will argue are my credentials and why I am qualified for marriage.
During the summer as a child, I often cried when the sun set because I did not want to leave the cul de sac game of kickball. In second grade, I struggled with the cursive letter Z and became very frustrated writing about my trip to the zoo. When I was 11, my father coached my Little League team and I hit a grand slam while the entire crowd cheered my name. I graduated from high school in the top 10 percent of my class, and, not admitting it to my classmates, I sometimes took my history book home to read further into the Gadsden Purchase of 1854.
When I had to attend my sister's musical, I sat patiently hoping there would be no encore. When Kerri Strug landed her vault at the 1996 Olympics, I chanted USA. When Tina Fey played Sarah Palin, I laughed. When my mother makes a favorite meal, I salivate. When a girl runs to the doors at work to escape the rain, I hold it open, and when my father lost his battle to cancer, I wept.
To all Hoosiers who may be reading this and deciding if I can have the job, I have only one qualification for you: Thaddeus Gerardot, human being. I may be imperfect, stubborn, emotional and anxious, but I am also responsible, dedicated, caring and trustworthy. I have experienced the same qualities of life as you and expressed the same emotions.
Do you think then that I do not feel the same love as you do because the object of that desire has a Y chromosome? The feeling of loving someone unconditionally is not exclusive to heterosexuals, it is part of the human experience and is something we should cherish and applaud.

Rush Select Staff travel to Italy in preparation for B13 Select Trip
SPI staff and Rush Select Coaches, Nik Penn, Arian Hoxha and Matt Mittelstaedt traveled to Italy this week to familiarize themselves with the facilities, regions and opportunities for the upcoming B13 Rush Select trip to Northern Italy. The guys that were hosted by John Salvatore, TD of CT Rush and the guys from Dream Team Italy, got to experience both Inter Milan and AC Milan play at the San Siro stadium as well as the stadium tour that the players will have the opportunity to see. The trip will take the players to the beautiful Lake Como area where they will play a couple of friendly games in preparation for the tournament. The cultural experience will be priceless also, with the coaches seeing the cities of Milan, Florence and Sienna of which the boys will take in the education and history of these cities and building that are thousands of years old in some cases.
The coaches also visited the venue of the tournament that will be only for their age group and will include seven Italian Professional youth academies including Juventus, Fiorentina, Sienna, Empoli and host club Atalanta as well as Select teams from Japan and Australia. The level will be extremely high and the Rush Select will draw at least one pro academy whist staying in nearby Montecatini Terme. The trip will include a training session at Corverciano the home of the Italian National Teams with one of the Italian National team staff and get to see the four world cups won by the Azzurri, that the coaches also got to tour this week.
Matt Mittelstaedt is in the final stages of selecting the group of Rush U13 players that was aided by last months Select ID Camp in Casa Grande, AZ.

Actor Channing Tatum, the star of male-stripper tour de force "Magic Mike," was named People Magazine's 2012 Sexiest Man Alive, but the mag's ongoing snub of actor Ryan Gosling triggered an angry Twitter backlash from the Canadian actor's fans.
"I really think it's time that we as a nation confront @PeopleMag about their Sexiest Man Alive voting. Recount! #teamryan" wrote @haleyleigh.
"Channing Tatum looks a lot like this one guy I regretted making out with. Gosling looks like the human personification of Ecstasy. #teamryan" wrote @summeranne.
"One could make the argument that Ryan Gosling would even be the sexiest man dead, too. #teamryan," wrote @samir.
"PEOPLE should just start a monthly Ryan Gosling mag to make up for the travesty of not picking him for Sexiest Man again. #teamryan" wrote @msmarysa.
"Seriously, does People magazine have something against Gosling? No offense Tatum, I think you're tops, just not as tops as #teamryan" @Gillian_English

We are looking at the mountains east and west of encampent and saratoga, I know there is a bunch of private around there, but looking more at the national forest ground. Obviously its not a trophy area, just looking for a fun hunt and to see some deer. Thanks for any help.

It flies. It's tight. You rarely feel like it's on your side. Of course, we're talking about time. You can blame it—or more accurately, the lack of it—for standing in the way of many things, but scoring the body of your dreams is no longer one of them. The latest research shows that sculpting lean legs, a tight tush, and flat abs doesn't require extra hours at the gym.
The trick is to sweat smarter, not harder, and, in many cases, for shorter durations. In fact, a study from McMaster University in Ontario found that people who did brief, fast-paced workouts for a total of 90 minutes a week got just as fit as those who did lower-intensity training for four and a half hours. (Hello! That's an extra three hours a week!)
With that in mind, leverage these shape-up shortcuts—some maximize the precious (and few) workout minutes you've got; others actually shave them away. Now go and make that dream body a reality.
1. Jump to it
Rather than plod through a slow (and time-sucking) warm-up jog, kick off your routine with 20 jumping jacks, says trainer Larysa DiDio, founder of PFX Fitness in Pleasantville, New York. In less than a minute, these simple but explosive old-school moves activate your upper-and lower-body muscles and quickly raise your heart rate and body temperature to prime you for your workout. Another reason to keep it short: A study in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that lengthy warm-ups can fatigue you, compromising your true workout.
2. Start Strong
People who pushed themselves in the first half of a workout and eased up during the second half burned 23 percent more fat than those who did the opposite, according to a study from the College of New Jersey. The study also found that a period of moderate-intensity exercise prior to a milder one can elicit greater fat oxidation while making the overall workout feel less stressful. One more reason to get the hard part out of the way.
3. Hit the Right Notes
Music moves you to burn more calories in less time by spurring you to crank up—and keep up—the effort. But not just any playlist will do (sorry, Adele). To increase workout intensity, listen to songs with a tempo of 125 to 140 beats per minute and lively lyrics, says Costas Karageorghis, Ph.D., author of inside Sport Psychology, who has studied music's impact on exercise for 20 years. His picks: "Moves Like Jagger," by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera (128 bpm), "The Time (Dirty Bit)," by The Black Eyed Peas (128 bpm), and "Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny)," by A. R. Rahman & The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger (137 bpm).
More picks from Women's Health
"The Edge of Glory," Lady Gaga (135 bpm)
"Are You Gonna Go My Way," Lenny Kravitz (130 bpm)
"Hot and Cold," Katy Perry (128 bpm)
"You Belong with Me," Taylor Swift (130 bpm)
"Use Somebody," Kings of Leon (135 bpm)
"We Found Love (Cahill Club Remix)," Rihanna (128 bpm)
"What Are You Waiting For," Gwen Stefani (136 bpm)
"Burning Up," Madonna (138 bpm)
"Womanizer," Britney Spears (140 bpm)
If these songs don't move you, download free software at mixmeister.com to check the tempo of your favorite tunes
4. Defy Gravity
Sculpting a perkier posterior may be as simple as hoisting heavier weights. The challenge to your muscles builds lean muscle faster, which is the secret to a tighter, lifted backside, says trainer Rachel Cosgrove, WH fitness contributor and author of The Female Body Breakthrough. Plus, it's a stellar metabolism booster: Research shows you can burn nearly twice as many calories in the two hours after lifting heavier weights. Add this move—the bent-knee deadlift—to your routine up to three times a week: Set a pair of heavy dumbbells (try 15 pounds) on the floor and squat down to grab them. Quickly stand, pushing your hips forward and squeezing your glutes. Do 10 reps.
5. Join the Workout of the Month Club
When you stop seeing results, your first instinct may be to stay on the treadmill or elliptical longer. But tacking on extra minutes won't rescue you from a plateau. What will: switching up your routine every 28 days—before you have a chance to stagnate. "It takes four to six weeks for your body to adapt to a workout," says Cosgrove. "Once it becomes efficient at it, you use less energy and burn fewer calories and fat." The good news is, you don't need to completely overhaul your fitness routine every month, says Cosgrove. Even simple tweaks—say, adding a few hills to your daily run—can make the difference.
6. Lose your Balance
Multitasking is a useful skill at work—and during a workout. "Do upper-body strength training—biceps curls, overhead presses—on an unstable surface, such as a BOSU, a balance board, or even a couch cushion at home," says DiDio. "You'll use your core to stabilize yourself and keep from falling, so you'll strengthen and tone your midsection while you work other muscle groups."
7. Walk, Don't Jog
Though it may seem counterintuitive, walking at a brisk pace is a better use of your workout time. "During a fast walk, your muscles are working harder to keep you on the ground and still push you forward. So, compared to a slow jog—say, 10-minute miles—you're using more muscle and burning more calories," says fitness instructor Therese Iknoian, author of Walking Fast and Fitness Walking. While jogging is a fluid, natural body movement, speed walking is more physically demanding because it requires you to move in an awkward way. You'll also get shapely calves and glutes, because these muscles are more engaged during a power walk, says Iknoian.
And while you're at it, pick up a pair of poles. Sure, they might look like goofy gadgets reserved for hikes up Kilimanjaro, but walking poles come with benefits any serious saunterer will appreciate. "You can burn 20 to 25 percent more calories walking with poles than you would walking without them, and you'll also increase upper-body endurance by 40 percent," says John Porcari, Ph.D., a professor of exercise and sports science at the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse, who has conducted five studies on the equipment's benefits. He likes Exerstriders ($70 to $90, walkingpoles.com).

You have to get the heat up so you can see the puddle turn white.Rule of thumb get your puddle twice the size of your rod.Dip the wire in the puddle drag the puddle about 1/8" and dip the wire again.One thing to practice is on a long pc of wire working your fingers so the wire move outward from your hand.After you learn it mark you line with soapstone on your table.put your hand on the end of the line try to make the wire travel down the line with out the tip moving off the line.after you get the step down try welding.If your going to weld 1/4 plate Use 1/8 pure tungstein the one with the green on one end.Most people want a ball on the end.This isn't always the best practice.If you start out with sharp pc you have more control over your heat,puddle. I set my reg on around 20 if indoors.I use to teach welding a tec collage for 3 years 2 of us had 60 students.I learned my son how to weld alum in 4 nights.He picked it up really fast.Some welders on here are rude and have no respect for someone learning.Sorry if I make any welder mad .I just call it as I see it on this web page.I hope this helps you it's a good practice tool.

I've got the training and nothing bothers me more than to see some former mechanic/truck driver turned welder pulling an attitude when some guy just needs a little help. The guys are just trying to learn.
Even though a back ground of mechanic/truck driver hardly qualifies anyone as a expert[black wolf] you seem to be forgetting that even you where a novice once and I'm sure you asked questions too.
So I share the feeling of our fellow tradesman/hobbiests that you need to lose the attitude or go to another domain:
journeyman why is pure tung not the best on an inverter
the inverters work better with pointed tungstens. the pure will need more amp's to get the same job done and you lose the advantage of having an inverter. it can be used its just not the best choice, and balling it is bad for the welder. a lanthanated or cerated Tungsten ground to a point ( with or without a small flat) is going to give you the best results with an inverter.
kinda like saying you can run a dragster on just standard pump gas yea it could be done, but not to likely to see it on race day.thanks for the help
hope i helped

my buddy at work welds al using ac tig he sharpens the tungsten to a point and it keeps its point after being heated up every once in a while he has to resharpen it though. he gets great results. he uses al filler metal, not sure the thickness or current or anything. By the way he is certified and a state certified welder in the state of tn and virgina. just my 2 cents

thanks fun4now
Definitely Old School
I can say the only problems I have with tungsten are self induced by me. I sometimes dip the tung into the metal, or at one time or another run the filler into the tung, and other times run the tung into the filler as I'm welding along. A matter of coordinating the hands and feet I reckon. I have seen a lot of posts about tungsten and the lanth and cerat keep popping up.
So when I return to work I''l get a stick of each from the LWS and give them a try before we really get started. The machine I have is a Lincoln Squarewave 175. The only adjustable setting is current.
I may be old and crotchity but if you beat the dog enough I would learn to stay away from the stick. Merry Christmas.

The last time I made pancakes, while they were nicely cooked on the outside, they were still a bit "battery" in the middle. Does anyone has a simple solution to try?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You might try reducing the cooking heat a little, say on medium heat. That way, the middle will finish cooking without the outside being overcooked. And usually when you flip a pancake it should be almost entirely cooked through anyway. You want to flip when the bubbles are pretty set on the top.
Reduce the heat a little. Make the mix thinner so you can use less of it and still have it spread to fill the pan: a thinner pancake will cook all the way through quicker.

The district this year purchased 300 iPads using funds from Title I, a federal program initiated by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to provide financial assistance to schools whose students are largely from low-income families.
The one-to-one iPad initiative is part of a district-wide effort to integrate technology throughout elementary and middle school classrooms. Sixth-graders have had one-to-one laptop access for several years, while junior high students have shared a limited number of iPads and laptops since last year.

Residence Life
Welcome to the Thomas More College Residence Life website! In residence life, we are committed to creating a community environment that fosters the intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual growth of our residents. The staff is trained to provide residents with the support and challenges that are necessary for a meaningful living-learning experience. One of the most beneficial things you can do for yourself while in college is to live on campus. Studies show that students who live on campus are making a choice that positively impacts their lives, enriches their day-to-day interactions, and makes their educational experience more fulfilling. It is our hope that you will take advantage of the many things that campus living at TMC offers.
Residence Hall vs. Dorms
The terms "residence hall" and "dorm" are often used interchangeably to describe on-campus living facilities. However, there is a significant difference between the two. Dorm comes from the Latin word "dormus" which means "to sleep." At TMC we offer so much more then a place to sleep. We believe that a residence hall is a home-away-from-home, a campus community and a place where our students can live and learn in a safe environment. So, when you come to TMC expect MORE because you will get MORE than a "dorm" room!
Need More Information?
If you have any housing questions, please contact the Residence Life Department at 859-344-3544 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also visit us in-person in the Student Life Hallway of the Thomas More College Student Center.

I think Josh Freeman is another great example of not throwing Tannehill under the bus at this point.
Freeman threw 10 touchdowns and 18 interceptions his rookie season and led them to a 3-13 record. Four years later he currently has his team in the playoff hunt and has thrown for 21 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. All it shows is that allowing a young QB to grow and getting better pieces around him will lead to potential success. That is why it is ignorant to say Tannehill is a bust or is definitely "not the guy" after just 10 starts in his rookie season.
Notice Tampa also has an offensive line playing much better than Miami, which leads to a decent running attack and oh by the way that guy Vincent Jackson sure helps out a lot, something Miami also doesn't have. Tannehill will be fine once this team gets a few more pieces of the puzzle around him.

yeah...we got rid of our legit threat at Wr....maybe if we decide to replace him one day, we may actually see what we have at QB.
Who knew a WR core was so important for a Qb? LOL.....any Philbin's system doesn't need a #1 wr people like to comment?
Freeman had a great season in 2010 as well. 2nd year starting he struggled like many Qb's ( Cam Newton)

Forensic anthropologist William Stevens says the amount of time it could take for a positive identification to be made on the body found in Big Spring depends on the condition of the remains.
"If a body is mummified like that usually I think we'd rely more on X-rays to look at growth and development to predict the age of a person. Positive ID would depend entirely on what is available for the suspective person, you know, X-rays or dental records which tend to be the easier route," Stevens said.
When asked the amount of time he would expect for a positive identification to be made, he replied, "Depending on the availability of records and anti-mortem X-rays and dental records, it can be done in less than a week."
Stevens also surmised what would be left after a long period of time has passed, based on the environment in which the remains were found.
"I don't know exactly the conditions or how deep the body was buried, but likely in the sandy desert environment, they could mummify quickly in that time preserving a lot if not all of the hair and soft tissues."
Stevens also says that with this past summer's record-breaking heat and dry conditions, the decomposition process would be significantly slower, helping to expedite the process of finding a positive identification to less than a week.
Last year both Clint and Billie Dunn, Hailey's parents, provided police with DNA samples.
Stephens says with a high profile case like this, DNA records would be readily available, which would also expedite the process in finding the identification.
Wow, this is very good news, positive identification in less than a week? ThatŌĆÖs amazing. It will be a great contribution for the progress of the history science. There are still several mummified bodies to be discovered, and having this fast positive identification will solve mysteries faster and give reliable information.

Bhut jolokia
|Bhut jolokia
|Hybrid parentage
|C. chinense × C. frutescens
|Exceptionally hot
|Scoville scale
The bhut jolokia (Assamese: ভোট-জলকীয়া), also known as bih jolokia, u-morok, ghost pepper, ghost chili pepper, red naga chili, Naga Jolokia, and ghost chili, is an interspecific hybrid chili pepper cultivated in the Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland and Manipur.[1][2] It is an interspecies hybrid of C. chinense and C. frutescens genes.[3]
In 2007, Guinness World Records certified that the ghost pepper was the world's hottest chili pepper, 401.5 times hotter than Tabasco sauce; the ghost chili is rated at more than 1 million Scoville heat units (SHUs). Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 SHUs. However, the bhut jolokia was shortly superseded by the infinity chili in early 2011, followed by the Naga Viper, then later the trinidad moruga scorpion in 2012, and finally the "Carolina Reaper" on August 7, 2013.[4]
On 19 June 2013 Jason McNabb (USA) set the record for 'Most Bhut Jolokia chili peppers eaten in two minutes' on the set of 'Guinness World Records Unleashed' in Los Angeles, California. He managed to eat 66 grams (2.33 oz) of the pepper.[5]
The chili is referred to differently in different regions. In Assam, it is widely known as bhot jolokia (ভোট জলকীয়া) or bih jolokia. In some parts of Assam, this chili is called noga jolokia, believed to be named after the ferocious Naga warriors inhabiting the plains and hills of Nagaland.[6] Further complicating matters, a 2009 paper coined the English term "Naga king chili" which refers to the chili's large pod size.[7][8] This is probably because the chili has long been colloquially known as Raja mircha or Raja mirchi in Nagaland. It also stated that the most common Indian (Assamese) usage is bhot jolokia and gives the alternate common name as bih jolokia (bih means "poison" in Assamese, denoting the plant's heat). The Assamese word jolokia simply means the Capsicum pepper. Other usages on the subcontinent are saga jlokia, Indian mystery chili, and Indian rough chili (after the chili's rough skin).[7][9] It has also been called the Tezpur chili after the Assamese city of Tezpur.[6] In Manipur, the chili is called umorok or oo-morok (oo = "tree", morok = "chili"). The Kukis called it "Malcha-Phoh" meaning 'the Pungent most chilli'. [10]
Scoville rating[edit]
In 2000, India's Defence Research Laboratory (DRL) reported a rating of 855,000 SHUs,[11] and in 2004 a rating of 1,041,427 SHUs was made using HPLC analysis.[12] For comparison, Tabasco red pepper sauce rates at 5000–10,000, and pure capsaicin (the chemical responsible for the pungency of pepper plants) rates at 16,000,000 SHUs.
In 2005, at New Mexico State University Chile Pepper Institute near Las Cruces, New Mexico,[13] Regents Professor Paul Bosland found bhut jolokia grown from seed in southern New Mexico to have a Scoville rating of 1,001,304 SHUs by HPLC.[1]
The effect of climate on the heat of these peppers is dramatic. A 2005 study comparing percentage availability of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in bhut jolokia peppers grown in Tezpur (Assam), showed the heat of the pepper is decreased by over 50% in Gwalior's more arid climate.[14] Elsewhere in India, scientists at Manipur University measured its average Scoville rating by HPLC at only 329,100 SHUs.[10]
Ripe peppers measure 60 to 85 mm (2.4 to 3.3 in) long and 25 to 30 mm (1.0 to 1.2 in) wide with a red, yellow, orange, or chocolate color. The unselected strain of bhut jolokia from India is an extremely variable plant, with a wide range in fruit sizes and fruit production per plant, and offers a huge potential for developing much better strains through selection in the future. Bhut jolokia pods are unique among peppers, with their characteristic shape, and very thin skin.[15] However, the red fruit variety has two different fruit types, the rough, dented fruit and the smooth fruit. The images on this page show examples of both the rough and the smooth fruit forms. The rough fruit plants are taller, with more fragile branches, and the smooth fruit plants yields more fruit, and is a more compact plant with sturdier branches.[16]
Bhut jolokia is used as a food and a spice, as well as a remedy to summer heat.[2] It is used in both fresh and dried forms, to not only "heat up" curries, pickles and chutneys, but also to impart two distinct flavors to them. It is popularly used in combination with pork or dried or fermented fish. In northeastern India, the peppers are smeared on fences or incorporated in smoke bombs as a safety precaution to keep wild elephants at a distance.[17][18] The pepper's intense heat makes it a fixture in competitive chili pepper eating.[19]
Defence product[edit]
In 2009, scientists at India's Defence Research and Development Organisation announced plans to use the peppers in hand grenades, as a nonlethal way to flush out terrorists from their hideouts and to control rioters. It will also be developed into pepper spray as a self-defence and antirape product.[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]
R. B. Srivastava, the director of the Life Sciences Department at the New Delhi headquarters of India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (who also led a defense research laboratory in Assam), said bhut jolokia-based aerosol sprays could be used as a "safety device", and "civil variants" of chili grenades could be used to control and disperse mobs.[29]
Dorset Naga[edit]
The Dorset Naga is a substrain of the original Naga, selected from the Bangladeshi varieties of the chili, naga morich.[30]
Annually, since 2005, the heat level of Dorset Naga has been tested, taking samples from different sites, various seasons, and states of maturity. The heat level has ranged from 661,451 SHUs for green fruit in 2007, up to 1,032,310 SHUs for ripe fruit harvested in 2009.[31]
High as the results were, the BBC's Gardeners' World television programme recorded a much higher heat level for Dorset Naga. As part of the 2006 programming, the BBC gardening team ran a trial looking at several chili varieties, including Dorset Naga. Heat levels were tested by Warwick HRI, and the Dorset Naga came in at 1,598,227 SHUs, one of the hottest heat levels ever recorded for a chili.[30][32]

MTBob - the Post Masters worries of the pipe might just be something to think about. Back in the early 70's, my dad nearly got in trouble over vandal proofing our mailbox.
After having lost a couple mailboxes, and post, due to vandals hitting the boxes with their old beater pickups, dad decided he'd had enough. Being a welder, dad always had plenty of scrap iron around the shop. Well, out came a section of railroad rail. Two sections cut, welded back to back, and buried about 6 feet in the ground.
A few months after installing the 'post from h3ll', we were awakened in the middle of the night by a terrible noise. Out the front door we ran only to find a Mustang, nearly cut in two, on fire, and with our 'post from h3ll' nearly sitting in the Mustang's back seat. Unharmed... minus the mailbox.
Well, dad was real proud of his post, but the Trooper that responded to the accident came over and suggested he get the post gone... and right now. Seems the Trooper had know of someone getting sued for hurting someone that had hit their mailbox post that was "unreasonably stronger than necessary to support the mailbox.
We did get ride of the post that morning. And yes, that afternoon someone showed up asking to see the post that caused the damage to the Mustang... "sorry, it was destroyed and we replaced it
But on the other hand, I thing that the mailbox constructed in this thread probably needs a 4" sch 80 pipe just to support it

All good posts. It's all true about suing someone for having too strong of a mailbox post. I remember reading one guy who gave in and welded an old coil spring from a car a third way up the mail box post. That way the mailbox would give if "accidently" hit or ran over it. I'd be careful, in this day and age of lawsuits. The guy who hit's your bombproof mailbox could be living in your house after the court settlement.Wheat Stalker

We have a guy 3 houses down that had so many boxes knocked down that he took a large mailbox and put a regular size mailbox inside it and filled it with cement around the center. Mounted it on a railroad tie. A summer ago a woman was driving down the road trying to pick up a lipstick off the floor and hit a pole, a cable box, went back across the road and hit this mailbox. It ended up in the passenger seat of her truck after driving the roof almost into the box. Scary but no injuries. He now has a T post and a small mailbox. Never heard of any problems for him. She didn't have any insurance on her truck at all so that may have saved him.
SOOOooooo, build them to be destroyed or get sued.
I was thinking of a strong one, got an old cast food mixer, 750 lbs.
Might just keep the one I have, old wood post, knock it over with a bike.

There is an entire specialty of Highway Design called Roadside Design. It revolves around the fact that vehicle can, will, and often do depart from the roadway. It just happens. They don't go out thinking "Man, my CD's gonna get stuck in the radio and I'm gonna run off the road while screwing with it."
The idea is that cars are virtually certain to end up 7-10 feet from the edge of the travel lane, so you don't put telephone poles, bollard posts, massive concrete structures, or anything else there that is likely to kill someone if they hit it.
This concept is spelled out in "AASHTO A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets" (AKA "the Green Book") which is the supreme reference for highway design, just like AWS D1.1 is for welding.
There is no mailbox so important that it's worth making a state trooper knock on somebody's door at 2am to let them know there's somebody they're never gonna see again.
In that respect, the biggest requirement of the perfect mailbox is that it should break before the human does, even if it's a motorcycle.

Holy Sheeet Batman - you guys are serious folks. Your collective comments about liability certainly give me something to think about.
But, hey, let's get real here. Take a look around at all the very immovable objects that line our roads, from street light posts, telephone poles, or horizontal 10' long 2x10 wooden beams that hold a dozen mailboxes among hundreds of other fairly strong objects. It seems to me that a 4" steel pipe is one of the smaller objects along many roadways. Also, the road where this box is located is in a very, very rural area - there are few vehicles and they are usually going slow. But, still someone could hit the mailbox or pipe support.
Sure, why take the risk of a lawsuit? Well - crapola - every day I get up I face that question; i.e. driving a car, doing my job, someone slipping on ice on our porch... that's why we have insurance.
GeeGads, compared to the liability we have with cattle pastured on our place, the mailbox is nothing. You might be interested to know that in Montana if a large animal, horse or cow, gets loose in a roadway and is hit by a car, it is the specific responsibility of the driver to not hit the animal, not the owner of the cattle to keep it fenced in.
Now, regarding my new mailbox. I intentionally set the post back off the road (actually placed in the edge of the ditch next to the road). If a vehicle hits the post, it's likely already driven into the ditch. Also, the box is on a cantilever arm that rotates if the box gets hit.
On the other hand, if someone veers off the road, the mailbox post is the least of their problems. There are two gate posts next to the mailbox that are railroad ties driven 4' into the ground.
Is this a "Perfect" mailbox. Absolutely not. If I lived on a main highway with higher speed traffic, I would rethink the liability question and perhaps redesign the project.
For now, I'll take the risk with this mailbox and post.MTBob
