what to buy
If you're an average family, you likely cook something at least once a day, using at least one pot or pan. Most people probably cook even more often or use multiple pans to prepare a meal. This makes cookware among the most oft-used items in your home. The good news is that in the past few years -- even since this report was last updated -- manufacturers have started making high-quality cookware sets without the high-end prices you used to have to pay. Of course, there's still pricey options like All-Clad, but there are also plenty of choices that give All-Clad cookware a run for its (or your) money.
Buying a set of cookware costs less than buying individual pieces. Cookware sets are great for initially equipping a kitchen, or to replace a set that's outlived its useful life. If you do buy a set, you'll most likely use some items in your collection more than others; you'll also want to add other, specialty pieces that aren't typically included, such as a dutch oven or roasting pan, which are covered in their own ConsumerSearch reports. Many people also like to purchase an additional, 12-inch skillet since they are so versatile and can be used as everyday pans for one-pot dishes, or just for preparing larger batches, like breakfast for a crowd, and we have a separate report on those as well.
Stainless steel cookware is what most professional chefs use, and it's a popular option for the home cook as well. Stainless cookware wrapped around an aluminum core (or "clad") heats evenly and does a superior job of browning food. On the downside, it can be more difficult to clean, and you'll need to use more oil or fat to keep some foods from sticking. It also has a bit of a learning curve, but avid cooks say once you get it, you'll never go back. Stainless cookware can also scratch or become discolored when heated to temperatures beyond 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Nonstick cookware, which prevents foods from clinging so you can cook with less fat or oil, is the most popular with home cooks. It saves on clean up time and, if you're watching your fat intake, can cook almost any food without a lot of fat, and without sticking to the pan. Nonstick cookware ranges from extremely cheap, thin metals with an obvious coating to higher-quality, more expensive types like anodized aluminum, which is what we recommend.
Cast iron cookware is the most versatile cookware out there as it can go from stovetop to oven, to grill, to smoker, to campfire. We would venture to guess that nearly every kitchen has at least one cast iron piece for baking cornbread or stovetop grilling. If you don't, you should. Cast iron needs to be seasoned and you should go very light on the soap, but a well-seasoned cast iron pan will have a nonstick surface and can last forever. The drawbacks to cast iron are that it can be very heavy, and, while it holds heat well, it does not heat as quickly as some other types of pans. You also have to allow plenty of cool-down time.
In recent years there has been a lot of focus on the possible harmful effects of cookware, particularly those with nonstick coatings. We are not going to dive into this contentious debate because our research has found that there are people worried about every single type of cookware out there -- not just nonstick. Short of cooking over a fire with a stick (which has its own safety issues), there's no way to completely avoid your food touching something that has been manufactured.
One big problem with some of the hype surrounding the safety, or perceived lack thereof, of all these types of cookware is that some "experts" are using questionable science as a platform to sell their own "safer" products. These cookware pieces often get very poor reviews for performance and many of their claims of being healthier options have been debunked.
Instead of worrying, do this: Purchase the best cookware you can afford. Avoid cheap coatings that might decompose, emitting potentially harmful chemicals into the air, or your food. Use the right cookware for the right task. Do not cook at super high heats; there is no reason to do so unless you're making a stir fry, in which case we recommend a wok. Do not put your pots and pans in the dishwasher. If your nonstick cookware is scratched or damaged, replace it. It's as simple as that.
Some manufactures make dedicated cookware sets and you can find a good number of reviews for them. Others don't make or sell cookware sets, rather, they package individual pieces into sets, then sell those sets exclusively at various retail outlets. This is why you can't always compare set to set, but you can compare how the pieces themselves perform and extrapolate the performance and value of each set from there.
Our top-rated cookware sets are chosen based on cooking performance, ease of use, durability and appearance. To evaluate cookware performance and ease of use, we consulted professional tests conducted by Cook's Illustrated, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, ConsumerReports.org, SweetHome.com and Chow.com. Then, to gain insight into long-term durability that can't be measured in a test lab, we analyzed thousands of user reviews from retail sites such as Amazon.com, Cooking.com, Walmart.com and Macys.com. The result of our research is the best cookware on the market; one of these is sure to make your kitchen chores a bit more fun.

Saturday, April 13, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Apr. 13, 2002) -- Buccaneer freshman pitcher Courtney Jenkins (Knoxville, Tenn.) picked up both wins as the East Tennessee State softball team defeated Furman, 5-0 and 5-4, in a Southern Conference doubleheader from Metro-Kiwanis Park in Johnson City, Tenn. East Tennessee State (18-24, 6-8 Southern Conference) got on the scoreboard early as they scored four runs in the bottom of the first. The Bucs loaded the bases to begin the first on a single by sophomore outfielder Tiffany Vandergriff (Sale Creek, Tenn.), freshman outfielder Danielle Spetar (Knoxville, Tenn.) reaching on an error and a single by senior designated player Melanie Collins (Greeneville, Tenn.). Vandergriff scored on a groundout by the next batter, sophomore catcher Sheryl Clark (Bradenton, Fla.). Freshman shortstop Mary Beth Hazelwood (Knoxville, Tenn.) reached on a fielder's choice to score Spetar. With two outs in the inning, freshman third baseman Lindsay Lane (Erwin, Tenn.) singled to score Collins and sophomore outfielder Rhea Holler (Peoria, Ariz.), who had earlier reached on a fielder's choice. That four-run outburst was enough for Jenkins, who pitched masterfully in recording her second shutout of the season. Jenkins stranded Furman runners on second and third three times on the afternoon, on two occasions, the runners were there with just one out. ETSU tacked on their final run of the game in the bottom of the sixth. Hazelwood walked to begin the inning. Sophomore pinch-hitter Julia Chance (Knoxville, Tenn.) singled down the right field line and Hazelwood, hustling all the way, scored from first. Jenkins picked up her eighth win of the season by scattering six hits and striking out four on the afternoon. Furman's (15-16, 7-7 SoCon) Rachel Henley got the loss (8-6), giving up five hits and two earned runs while striking out four. Five different Bucs got hits in game one, with Lane leading the team with two RBI. Furman leftfielder Kristin White recorded three hits in a losing effort. Game two started out similarly as the Bucs jumped out to a 4-0 lead. East Tennessee State again took the lead in the first inning as Spetar reached on an error and scored on a single to center by Clark. ETSU plated three more runs in the bottom of the fifth. Lane singled to lead off the inning, and scored on a single by Collins. Senior second baseman April Arnold (Mountain City, Tenn.), running for Collins, and Spetar scored on a two-out single by Holler. The Paladins came right back in the top of the sixth and scored four runs to tie the game. With two outs, third baseman Kate Morrison reached on a bunt single. Right fielder Jessica Matthews followed with a double to score Morrison. Matthews came home on a single to centerfield by first baseman Jessica Griffin. After a single by designated player Melissa Hutton, Griffin scored on an error. Hutton crossed the plate to tie the game on a subsequent wild pitch. The score was still tied at four in the bottom of the seventh when the Bucs would score the deciding run. Collins reached on an error, then was pinch run for by Arnold. Arnold advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Clark. Holler then came to the plate and laced a single to right center to score Arnold and give ETSU the win. Jenkins came in to pitch the seventh and earned her second win of the day and her team-leading ninth of the season (9-8). Furman's Meagan Johnson (4-6) pitched the first 6.1 innings of the game, and took the loss. Holler and Hazelwood each recorded two hits for the Bucs, with Holler leading the team with three RBI. Matthews led the Lady Paladins, going 2-4 with an RBI and a run scored. The Buccaneers and Lady Paladins will play the final game of their three-game weekend series Sunday at 1 p.m. from Metro-Kiwanis Park in Johnson City, Tenn.

It was a little noted event when last fall, during the height of the presidential election campaign, the Treasury Department released Timothy Geithner's phone records. To the extent anyone paid attention at all—and let's face it, almost no one did—financial reporters were struck that the Treasury secretary's most frequent contact was Larry Fink of BlackRock, the world's largest money manager and Geithner's principal conduit to his many friends on Wall Street. But the even more telling name of Geithner's regular confidants, as the Financial Times noted, was the second one on the frequent-contact list: Robert Rubin.
That might seem odd; after all, it's been nearly a decade and a half since Geithner worked for Rubin, who is long retired from public life. But Bob Rubin was no ordinary employer. The former Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton all but created Timothy Geithner as we know him today, raising him from a junior Tokyo Embassy staffer to undersecretary of the Treasury in the mid-to-late-'90s, and later sponsoring the still-boyish bureaucrat as president of the New York Fed in 2003 (against resistance from the head of the search committee, Paul Volcker, who according to The Wall Street Journal barked: "Who's Geithner?"). As he almost always has, Rubin prevailed, and for nearly four years his former protégé has lorded over America's financial system.
Rubinomics: It's the cult that never quits. Now the nation is faced with a potential new acolyte. Is Jacob Lew, who is expected to be named Thursday as the replacement for Geithner, yet another Rubinite who will largely follow the policies of his predecessor? Calm, brilliant, competent at everything he's tried—from the Office of Management and Budget to deputy secretary of State to chief of staff—Lew has smoothly run the White House in the year since William Daley left. He has a reputation for unimpeachable integrity and total honesty, as well as a mastery of the budget that will be critical over the next four years of fiscal fights. But many critics fear that the picture is different when it comes to Wall Street. On financial reform, Lew is a virtual cipher who, in his few public pronouncements, has appeared to toe the Rubin-Geithner line of minimal interference with America's giant banks.
And Lew is taking over as Treasury secretary at a critical time. Two and a half years after enactment, the Dodd-Frank financial law is still not fully implemented. Even as the winds of financial turbulence threaten from Europe, financial-industry officials admit the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has not developed the capacity to liquidate banks in the event of a crisis. Although it never became a 2012 campaign issue, financial regulation has lagged well behind schedule (no one even seemed to care, for example, when Mitt Romney failed to propose an alternative to Dodd-Frank, even though he had promised to do so). Wall Street's lobbyists have managed to delay the "Volcker Rule" —the closest thing we have today to a Glass-Steagall law separating federally insured commercial banking from risky investment banking—by six months. The banks are also engaged in a behind-the-scenes effort to escape U.S. oversight of their derivatives activities overseas.
Into this den of super-sophisticated—and savage—lions of finance will walk the gentle-mannered figure of Jack Lew, who is expected to be easily confirmed. Hopes for change—any real progress in containing the power and systemic size of the banks—are not high. "By going with Jack Lew, Obama is making the decision: 'I don't want a fight over Treasury secretary. I want someone who's going to maintain the status quo.' That's what Jack Lew represents," says Jeff Connaughton, who as a senior Senate staffer fought for financial reform and later, in despair, wrote a book titled Wall Street Always Wins.
A Brief History of Rubinomics
From the very beginning of Obama's presidency, when Rubin made a cameo appearance at Obama's first financial crisis meeting—held in September 2008 next to a college gym in Florida—and then kvelled from the sidelines as his two proudest protégés, Geithner and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, took over the new administration, Rubin's influence has continued to be strong. At the same time, however, the ex-Treasury secretary's reputation has never recovered from the lingering aftermath of a disaster he and his hands-off approach to Wall Street did so much to create. In her stunningly frank new memoir about her major battles with Geithner over the past four years, Sheila Bair, the widely admired former FDIC director, calls Geithner's surprise appointment in 2008 "a punch in the gut" that made sense to her for only one reason: Rubin's shadowy power. "I did not understand how someone who had campaigned on a 'change' agenda could appoint a person who had been so involved in contributing to the financial mess that had gotten Obama elected," Bair writes. "The only explanation I could think of was that Robert Rubin had pushed him."

LOS ANGELES — Grammy weekend is pretty well focused on glamour and hubbub, but the highlight of the weekend for many is the low-key Special Merit Awards Ceremony, which honors lifetime achievement in music.
Harold Bradley, the first president of the Recording Academy's Nashville chapter and the most recorded guitarist in history, was given a Trustees Award, and he took time to reflect on his life and his family.
"We have two grandchildren, Bethany and Reid, who are indeed grand to me," Bradley said. "When they were younger, they were playing together and I heard Reid ask Bethany, 'What does granddad do for a living?' Bethany said, 'Nothing. He just sits around the house all day, playing the guitar.'"
Bradley, who was president of the Nashville chapter of the American Federation of Musicians for 20 years, was emotional in talking about his brother Owen, his partner in studios for 40 years, who is another Trustees Award winner.

I watched the BCS football blowout game tonight, that was so disgraceful, because Alabama did not deserve to be there in the first place, but neither did Notre Dame.
It's just a joke and its sad this has been going on for so many years.
Teams being stripped of titles on allegations, voting biases and so on.
And, we're in the United States.
A very sad day tonight.

The 2nd part dosent hold true every game. I thought I was clear about that. For instance, the first Jests games there were several players where you could say we win the game if they get the job done. Crapenter in the first Jests game is a prime example.
All I was saying is that was the case last night. Tannehill was the one player you could say with certainty that had he played better we win that game. In the NFL, its often the case you can say that about the QB position. Much more often than not, it is the case. Especially in games vs. bad teams like Buffalo who are beatable in so many ways.
It takes a lot of players not getting the job done to lose to Buffalo. They are the kind of team that will allow you to beat them in multiple ways and multiple aspects of the game. All it took was a decent job by the QB and you beat that team even with everyone else playing poorly, thats how bad Buffalo is. And thats how you see teams with great QBs win a lot of games vs. bad teams when the rest of their team has a bad game. How many times have you seen Brady or Peyton pull a game out of the fire when the rest of their team was beaten all day? Exactly.

TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate
NOTES:This training is a prerequisite of another NHI training and is offered at no cost.
A Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) can be considered a business plan that builds the case for making infrastructure investments and explains how resources will be used. This course, "Introduction to a Transportation Asset Management Plan," is a 1-hour, Web-based training (WBT) that introduces the content and organization of a TAMP and the typical TAMP development process.
This training includes the following topics.
- The use of a TAMP in transportation agencies
- The typical content of a TAMP (including a comparison with requirements in MAP-21)
- Key components, including performance projections and the financial summary
- Examples of TAMPs at various levels of maturity
- Existing and anticipated use of a TAMP in state highway agencies
- The expected involvement of agency personnel in developing and updating a TAMP
This training includes audio clips from leaders in state highway agencies that convey the anticipated benefits from the development of a TAMP and the way they expect to use their TAMP. In addition, the WBT highlights the use of existing documentation to develop the TAMP and plans for enhancing the content of future TAMPs.
This training also serves as a prerequisite for NHI-131106B "Developing a Transportation Asset Management Plan", which describes the role of a TAMP in a transportation agency and explores in some detail three important components: strategic performance management, risk assessment and management, and financial management.
[PLEASE NOTE: This course is numbered 131106C until 9/30/2015. Effective 10/1/2015, the new course number is 136106C.]
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Senior-level and mid-level managers from State departments of transportation and other transportation agencies, who typically have the responsibility for decision-making in one or more areas addressed by transportation asset management. Participants should represent a number of organizational units, including (but not limited to) planning, engineering (e.g., facility management, design, construction), capital programming, maintenance and operations, financial management, traffic and safety engineering, system operation and management, and information technology. The course is also intended for individuals who manage or provide critical information to senior managers, or who have direct responsibility for meeting specific transportation system performance or program delivery targets.
If you have questions about this NHI training, please contact NHI at
email@example.com or 877.558.6873.

Hiking on the Billy Goat Trail at Great Falls last summer, Alexandra Corbutt and her friend heard someone yelling "Help!"
After realizing a man was drowning in the Potomac River, Corbutt suggested that she, and two men who had come along, form a human chain and drag the man to safety. Meanwhile, her friend called 911.
Corbutt told her story in the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School library on Monday , which was packed with students awestruck and proud to learn their own fifth-grade teacher had saved a life.
"The adrenaline was going," Corbutt said of the rescue, which took place just after noon on June 24. "I was thinking about all the students. I would have dove right in for any of you guys."
The students — in grades three through eight — burst into applause.
"I'm not surprised," said one of Corbutt's students, Juliana Caprizzi. "She's always been such a nice person."
Caprizzi may not have been surprised to learn her teacher was a hero, but Corbutt, 24, was shocked when she realized the school assembly she had walked into had been organized to celebrate her deed.
Representatives of Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services were on hand to present the Bethesda native with a plaque commemorating her.
Corbutt displayed great courage, said Assistant Chief Scott Graham, adding that she "truly represents the best."
Graham reminded the students of how dangerous the Potomac River is, telling them that the same day their teacher helped rescue a man, another young man drowned in the river. Ngo Tekwe Forchick, 19, went swimming near the Billy Goat Trail with friends later that same day and was pulled along by strong currents. His body was found two days later. The Billy Goat Trail is a 4.7-mile hiking path between the C&O Canal and Potomac River.
Graham encouraged the students to follow Corbutt's example by reaching out to people in their lives.
The students resounded to this with a standing ovation, joined by Corbutt's parents Mary Beth and Greg Corbutt, her brother Tyler Corbutt and her aunt and grandparents.
"She's always been the fearless one in the family," her brother said. "Her courage didn't surprise me."
In addition to courage, Corbutt can add another virtue to her list — modesty. She told very few people about what happened. "She never told any of us," said her principal, Patricia McGann, who has known Corbutt since she taught her at St. Jane de Chantal School in Bethesda. "It was her mother who called."

Hey guys, i looked in the search feature but can't get answers to the following questions. I have a MM 210 and have just bought a 3035 spoolgun to do aluminum. Most of the welding i do will be 1/8" square tubing to build a couple trailers and a headache rack for my truck. It will mostly be 2x2 or 1.5 x 1.5 tubing for the trailers racks. Now for the questions..
1) Does the metal need to be preheated? If so how - with a propane torch or something?
2) Do i use 4043 or 5356 aluminum. Whats the real differences with the two. Can i mix and match the two. If i have a spool of 5356, can it be used on a piece of 4043?
3) What does push/pull mean. I read alot about it but cant find out what it means. Is the push/pull gun the spoolgun?
4) And finally when welding aluminum, do i go from left to right, or right to left? Do i keep the arc in the puddle or away from it, thanks.

Aluminum Welding questions?
1/8" really dosen't need a preheat but a propane torch works great.
4043 is usually what is found on a suppliers shelf.
Push pull is the gun because it has a motor to pull the wire thru. Instead of pushing from the welders drive and up the mig cable.
I go from right to left because i can see the puddle better. Keep the gun at a slight angle just back off of 90 degrees like 80 or so and push the wire into the puddle.
I don't weld that much 5356 and if i do i don't know it and use 4043 on it because thats all i use....BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

Spool Gun conversion. How To Do It. Below.
alright, with a push pull set up, the feeder and the gun has a separate set of drives. the gun drive is actually the control and the drive in the feeder is the slave. the xr-a and the xr-edge is an example of push-pull...
on 1/8 material, preheat is absolutely not necessary. i dont even preheat on 3/4 inch but the mm210 is not heavy enough for that... you will probably run about 190 amps for 1/8 and be sure to have your running shoes on...you'll need to move quickly...
the biggest difference that i have found between 4043 and 5356 is that the 4043 is a little more fluid of a puddle, the 5356 is easier to feed with less "bird hotels" if you are going to post heat treat your welds, then you must use 4043 alloy. if you are going to anodize then you must use 5356. on a non post heat treated weld, the 5356 is actually a stronger weld...i have never tried to mix the alloys and i am not sure that i would recommend it at all. if your parent metal is 6061, either will do nicely.
when welding aluminum, it does not matter the direction of travel except vertical down. lead into the weld with about 3/8 stick-out and a push angle of about 5 to 7 degrees. do not use any torch manipulation, only a straight stringer bead. when done properly, your weld will have a v-shaped bead raised slightly in the center and be fairly shiny.
as always, turn it up and burn it in... if you think that you might be hot enough, turn it up a little more and move faster...lol
hope that i could help a little, if you have any more questions, just ask...welder_one
nothing fancy, just a few hot glue guns for metal
Great advice from both guys. 4043 will be easier to make a nice looking weld with. Practice, practice, practice and have fun with it... oh yeah I'll remind you one more time, push on aluminum don't drag/pull.at home:

so i did my first welds on aluminum on a bunch of new scrap pieces i got from the local metal depot. I had the welder set at 4 and 70, miller 210, and the argon gas at 35 cf. It looks not bad, except around the welds the aluminum is like covered in a layer of brown and black soot. I can't find on this forum what is causing this. I can take a picture if i need to. Help!

You can take your gas pressure down to around 15 or 20 cfh. You will always have some black soot around your welds most of the time. There will be even more if you switch to 5356. It's just part of the process.Welders do it hotter!!
With the questions you are asking you are nowhere ready to start building trailers and sending them out on our highways. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this yet. It seems pretty clear to me that you have not done any work with aluminum and putting something out on the street with millions of other people is just looking for trouble in my opinion.
Get your self some practice with something other than structural or vehicular type projects. I'm not trying to be rude or put you down, just thinking of the safety of the general public. Too many things are cruising down the highways that are poorly constructed, poorly welded, or just plain out unsafe. Just wait a while and gain some experience before you take on the task of building something that could possibly put yourself or others in harms way.

I would have to agree with DaBar. I have been welding aluminum for about 2 1/2 years and I am still very cautious when doing it. I have faith in my self that I am doing everything the right way and taking the necessary steps to check myself but I would still be a little apprehensive to weld anything that would be getting pulled down a freeway.Welders do it hotter!!

I also agree that trailers and such is NOT the place to learn to weld aluminum.
I weld aluminum in my own biz for several years now and I can assure you that aluminum is a poor material to make trailers with unless it is an engineered design. Even then it still has a limited life span.
If you look at GOOD aluminum boat trailers you will see they are bolted and never welded. Welding removes the temper and it is very expensive to get it back.

soul sucking
Don't let them suck your soul or you will have very little left over for yourself and it will take some time to recoup and get it back.
Re: soul sucking
Been there done that. I agree. The time it takes to get the energy back can be worse then the initial sucking. I'm thankful that I am strong enough and have infinite energy to keep it moving!
Re: soul sucking
There's ways to go now that will help save your soul. You don't have to be doing what you're doing forever especially if it's killing your spirit. There's YouTube and Kickstarter and lots of other venues that will restore your creative life and bring you and your projects into the light.
Keep Creating! It's more than just a slogan it's the key to salvation in this biz. Create from the soul and get it out there. Creating for yourself is soul food. Stay hungry for it.

Spacecraft Power: Ion engine
Hayabusa 2 Project Website: http://b612.jspec.jaxa.jp/hayabusa2/e/index_e.html
In 2003, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) sent the first asteroid sample return mission, Hayabusa, to asteroid Itokawa (1998 SF36). Launching in 2014, Hayabusa 2 will be Japan's (and the world's) second asteroid sample-return mission.
Hayabusa 2's primary scientific objective is to collect a surface, and possible sub-surface, sample of materials from asteroid 1999 JU3 and return them to Earth in a capsule for analysis. The mission is also aiming to enhance the reliability of asteroid exploration technologies.
Asteroid 1999 JU3 is about 900 m (about 2,953 feet or about half a mile) in size. It takes 1999 JU3 about 7.6 hours to rotate once. The albedo of the surface is low, and is estimated at about 0.06.
Hayabusa 2 will cruise toward its target asteroid using a combination of ion engines and an Earth swing by (in 2015). After arriving at 1999 JU3 in 2018, Hayabusa 2 will observe the entire surface of the asteroid using a variety of remote-sensing instruments. The spacecraft will then deposit a small lander called MASCOT (the lander is made possible through an international cooperation (Germany, DLR/France, CNES)) and a rover (MINERVA 2) on the asteroid's surface. This rover will explore the surface of the asteroid in further detail. The candidate points for touch-down will then be carefully determined by using the observation results. After selecting the touch-down points, the spacecraft will collect samples from the asteroid's surface in a "touch-and-go" approach. The spacecraft will then move to the final challenge: an impactor will be released in order to create a small crater on the surface of the asteroid. After creating the artificial crater, the spacecraft will attempt to touch down on the asteroid in order to collect the sub-surface materials exposed by the impact. The collected samples will be stored in the capsule, and returned to Earth after a long homeward journey.
Asteroid 1999 JU3 is a C-type asteroid. C-type asteroids (carbonaceous) are the most common type of asteroids found in our solar system and are among the most ancient objects in our solar system. C-type asteroids most likely consist of clay and silicate rocks and are dark in appearance. (The samples returned by the earlier sample return mission, Hayabusa, are from an S-type asteroid. The S-types (silicaceous) are made up of silicate (stony) materials and nickel-iron.) The rock of C-type asteroids is considered to contain organic matter and water. By studying this different type of asteroid, Hayabusa 2 hopes to investigate the origin of water and life on the Earth.

Comments about Nano USB Flashdrive:
Small enough to carry on my keychain, so I can keep it with me at all times. Can be a little bit of a challenge to get into recessed ports, but not impossible. I bought one for everyone in my family. Husband uses his for work, and my son uses his to transfer profiles and saves on Xbox. Works great, but the price could be a little bit lower. There are cheaper versions out there, not quite as nice, but close.

Boy Scouts Offer New Merit Pin -- for Video Gaming
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous and kind - and completely addicted to Nintendo Wii.
The Boy Scouts of America - a group founded on the principles of building character and improving physical fitness - have introduced a brand new award for academic achievement in video gaming, a move that has child health experts atwitter.
"It could be quite visionary and exciting or it could be a complete sellout," said Dr. Vic Strasburger, professor of Pediatrics at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine.
"The devil is in the details," said Strasburger, who argued that teaching kids media literacy would be extremely valuable - as long as the games were free of the violent and sexual content that dominate so many popular titles.
"I don't see anything wrong with that as long as they're not playing first-person shooter games, violent games, games with a lot of sexual or drug content. The question is, who's going to supervise the scouts?"

Re: Boy Scouts Offer New Merit Pin -- for Video Gaming
then make the badge about computer efficiency, not game play...I really don't know how I feel about that. kinda silly and lowering the bar...but that might be my age talking.lol
Re: Boy Scouts Offer New Merit Pin -- for Video Gaming
Well yeah on one hand I totally agree with you Snakebite. Scouts is about getting out in the community and roughing it and growing up/becoming responsible. Although I remember as a kid I was big time into videogames (still am) and maybe something like that could be like a bridge or a gateway drug for lack of a better term to getting the couch potatos into the fellowship of a scout pack and into things that they might not have tried like camping etc. I mean Scouts is about way more then camping though with badges for Art, Geneology, Civic duty, etc, etc, etc. At the same time most of those awards actually help a boy to get out into the community and to make it and yourself a better person. So its a toss up on the benifits/detriments

Sunday, March 07, 2004DAVIDSON, N.C. (Mar. 7, 2004) - Davidson broke open a pitchers duel with four runs in the bottom of the sixth and went on to defeat East Tennessee State, 4-1, Sunday afternoon from Wildcat Park in Davidson, N.C. With the win, the Wildcats also won the first Southern Conference series of the season over the Bucs, two games to one. Both starting pitchers were impressive early, as ETSU's Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) allowed just one hit and struck out six through the first three innings. Davidson's Brian Akin did not allow his first hit until the top of the fourth, but it turned out to be costly. Buccaneer sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) laced a double off of the right-center field wall with one out. He moved to third on a ground out by senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.) then scored on a wild pitch. Davidson stormed ahead, scoring four runs in a two-out rally in the bottom of the sixth. Catcher Alex Entrekin doubled to centerfield followed by a walk to third baseman Jay Heafner. Both runners would come in to score on a double by first baseman Alden Crissey. Crissey would cross the plate as designated hitter Gregory Zage reached on an error. Zage scored the final run of the inning as left fielder Brett Peiffer hit a double to center. ETSU threatened to get back on the board in the top of the eighth, as freshman designated hitter Stephen Douglas (Kennesaw, Ga.) hit a one-out single and sophomore second baseman Josiah Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.) followed by reaching on an error. But Heafner came on in relief for the Wildcats and retired the final two batters of the inning on fly balls. Akin (2-0) had a very strong performance Sunday, going seven innings and allowing one earned run on just two hits while striking out three. Heafner went the final two innings for his second save of the season, allowing one hit and striking out two over the final two innings. Turner (2-2) pitched very well, but was charged with the loss. Turner went 5.2 innings and allowed four hits, two earned runs and a season-high seven strikeouts. Freshman righty Brandon Summey (Kingsport, Tenn.) pitched excellent in relief, tossing 2.1 innings and allowing no baserunners while striking out four. Byrne, Douglas and sophomore first baseman Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.) each had hits for the Bucs this afternoon. Crissey led the Wildcats at the plate with two RBIs while Peiffer added one. East Tennessee State returns home Tuesday night at 7 p.m. when they will face in-state rival Tennessee Tech from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn.

There are heaps of plain text note-taking applications for Android, and they all have their ups and downs. Right now, our favorite app is Flick Note, which syncs with Simplenote and gives you a ton of different options for viewing, editing, and using your notes.
Flick Note
Platform: Android
Price: Free ($2 for ad-free Pro version)
Download Page
- Create, auto-save, and sync plain text notes with Simplenote
- Syncs tags, pin state, and trash
- Offline editing
- Pinch gesture puts notes in full screen mode
- Custom fonts and colors
- Clickable URLs, phone numbers, and names of other notes, as well as clickable text checkboxes
- Scrollable widgets, so you can see your notes from your home screen
- Share notes with just about any share-compatible app on your phone
- Search your notes, filter by tag, and sort them however you want
Where It Excels
Flicknote does a great job of integrating all of Simplenotes features, like tags and filtering, while adding a few features that make it super easy to use, like clickable links, checkboxes, and automatically linking between notes. You can also share your note with pretty much any app on your phone that has a "sharing" feature, which is great. Like all the other Simplenote clients, it's very basic, which is exactly what we love about it.
Where It Falls Short
Flick Note is pretty great, but if there's one thing we'd love to see, it's offline syncing. As soon as we took our phone offline, Flick Note not only couldn't edit notes, but when we tried, it force closed—and when we went back in, all our notes were gone (they came back when the internet did, but still—that's a pretty big issue). Update: Flick Note has fixed this issue. Now you can edit offline as well, pretty much making this the best Simplenote client on the Market. Of course, it's extremely simple too, but that's what we like about it—if you want something more full-featured, it isn't the app for you.
The Competition
As far as other Simplenote clients go, mNote is probably the other big choice. It has a few extra sorting and viewing preferences, but has annoying ads that you can't even pay to turn off (I've clicked on them accidentally about a billion times), and it doesn't support tags or clickable links which is absurd. AndroNoter is another choice, but still isn't quite as good as Flick Note, which beats it out with its better filtering features.
Evernote is once again the choice for people that need more advanced note-taking and organizing; it just has a ton of different capture and organization features. It's overkill if you're just syncing text notes, but if Simplenote clients aren't enough for you, you'll want to look at Evernote.
I'm loath to include Springpad in this comparison, but it is a lot of people's note-taking-and-capture application of choice. It really isn't the same as apps Simplenote or Evernote; it's a repository for all sorts of non-note items. Text notes are only one thing it does, and it's definitely overkill if that's all you're using it for. It is, however, a great personal organizer.
There are a ton of others (Simplenote apps alone abound), so if you have a favorite note-taking-and-syncing app we didn't feature, be sure to give it a shout out in the comments.

fishcaketastic on Nov 17, 2012 at 17:36:06
I personally like the placement on the tee, haha. Because it isn't his full body I think it looks nicer closer to the hem rather than awkwardly ending in the center. And the faded colors look better aesthetically on a creme shirt. I don't know why people are complaining, but I guess it's just a matter of preference!

margscott on Nov 3, 2012 at 13:15:43
I agree with the complaint about the placement. The design (drawing) blows me away but the placement on the adult t-shirt just blows. Look at the baby onesy with the design centrally placed, looks great.
am-y on Nov 2, 2012 at 16:22:15
Have to agree with the 1st few commenters about placement. I definitely would have liked to see it much bigger, and centralised. The whole point is to show off cookie monster, right?
klwl on Nov 2, 2012 at 13:57:58
I personally find the placement interesting and unique, rather than the standard right-smack-in-the-middle approach.
What I am more concerned about are the printed colors on the T-shirts, which look faded and washed out, compared to the vibrant colors of the original design (unless it is just a case of sub-optimal color balancing?).
Wasmachinator on Nov 2, 2012 at 10:43:26
Such an awesome design, such half baked placement :(..
when it's on sale I would consider buying it thou, I think..

"Ruffin Collar Lights"
If you pay more than .99 cents for a package of 2, you paid too much for what you get.
"Okay for the price"
I have bought several of these to use on the leashes and collars of my dogs. When they work, they work well. However, they are not sturdy or at all durable. The wires are flimsy and it is impossible to replace the battery without breaking the wire connection and thereby breaking the light. And it's cheaper to buy a new pack than a battery anyway. I have received some packets that have not worked, but JeffersPet.com replaced them. Until I find something more durable, and equally inexpensive, I will continue to use
"Best In Class, Not Perfect"
I take my dogs to an urban forest as often as possible. I have tried numerous gadgets to increase their visibility, and this is the best I have found, yet is imperfect. The flashing light is wonderful when it works, though one on both side of the dog is required to be visible most of the time. The downside, I bought 3 packs, for a total of 6 units. Two fell off quickly, and one stopped working. I was not sure how to apply to the collar, there is a lot of velcro wrapped around the small light. My guess now is to not touch the velcro and slide it as is over the collar. The light itself is attached by two very thin wires to an apparently non replaceable battery. It can take time to turn on and off. I have tried the hanging flashlights and many other things, this is the best yet. I will buy extras.
