I am going to get a dry cut saw and I cut a lot of angles so am looking to get one that is set up for miter cutting. It should be 14" and have a quick and accurate clamping set up. There are several good saws out there, but the clamping for miter cuts is terrible. Anyone know of a good one?? I did see a video of the Evolution Rage 3 which looks great, but It looks smaller than the 14". I cut a lot of 2" at 45 deg. and not sure if that one would do it. Thanks

dry cut saw-- also called cold cut saw Question
I have the Rage 3- hate it.
Really designed for wood and occasional metal. Plastic blade guard on the base- not exactly sure what that piece is called but it has melted areas with metal stuck in it. PIA to clean up and make it smooth again.
Clamping system is a joke.
I would get a 14" Dry cut like the STEELSAW2
14" TCT Industrial Chop Saw
or Dewalt equivalent: DeWALT Heavy Duty 14'' Metal (Multi-Cutter) Dry-Cut SawEd Conley

I have used both the Evolution and the Steelmax. I like the Steelmax way more than the Evolution.
You might want to take a look at this one.

I have the DeWalt Multi cutter. Setting up the backstop/clamp requires a square for perfect cuts. For the money, it's alright. Also fast enough RPM to use an abrasive disc on hardened or stainless steel.Syncrowave 250 DX

My buddy has a steelmax and the clamp is garbage. He had to mill a new one after he had two work pieces fly up and almost cut his neck after the clamp popped free. The rest of the saw is great though according to him.

As said a dry saw and a cold saw are to totally different animals and are separated in price by thousands of dollars.
As far as dry saws go I would NOT buy another Evolution product. The Steel Max is the same saw as an evolution Rage 2. I have two dry saws as of right now, the Dewalt and the Milwaukee. Between the two the Milwaukee is the better saw by far. The Dewalt table sucks, badly. It is the same table and clamp as their abrasive saw, and deflects a lot when clamping. This is important, as if you get one slip when cutting with a dry saw you have likely trashed a $100+ dollar blade. The Milwaukee saw has a cast aluminum table and a much better clamp. I made a new table for my Dewalt out of 1/2" plate and it is much better now. There is a thread on it over on the Shopfloortalk board.
For just a little more money you get a lot more saw

I have Milwaukee dry cut saw. Solid base and lock mechanism. Worth the price.

Test ID: PKU
Phenylalanine and Tyrosine, Plasma
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring effectiveness of dietary therapy in patients with hyperphenylalaninemia
Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request
Phenylketonuria: Evaluation of patients with hyperphenylalaninemia or monitoring effectiveness of dietary therapy. Not sufficient follow-up for abnormal newborn screening results, because other causes of hyperphenylalaninemia (eg, BH4 deficiency) cannot be excluded by this test alone.
Tyrosinemia, type I: For medical management.
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most frequent inherited disorder of amino acid metabolism (about 1:10,000-1:15,000) and was the first successfully treated inborn error of metabolism. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is caused by a defect in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), which converts the essential amino acid phenylalanine to tyrosine, a precursor of dopamine, catecholamines, melanin, and thyroxine. Deficiency of PAH results in decreased levels of tyrosine and an accumulation of phenylalanine in blood and tissues. Untreated, PKU leads to severe brain damage with intellectual impairment, behavior abnormalities, seizures, and spasticity. The level of enzyme activity differentiates classic PKU (PAH activity <1%) from other milder forms; however, all are characterized by increased levels of phenylalanine (hyperphenylalanemia). Treatment includes the early introduction of a diet low in phenylalanine.
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is a cofactor of not only PAH, but also of the tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases. Approximately 2% of patients with hyperphenylalanemia have a deficiency of BH4, which causes a secondary deficit of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin. There are 4 autosomal-recessive disorders associated with BH4 deficiency plus hyperphenylalanemia, guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase deficiency, 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydropterine synthase deficiency, dihydropteridine reductase deficiency, and pterin-4 alpha carbinolamine dehydratase (PCD) deficiency. This group of disorders, with the exception of PCD, is characterized by progressive dystonia, truncal hypotonia, extremity hypertonia, seizures, and mental retardation though milder presentations exist. PCD has no symptoms other than transient alterations in tone. Treatment may include administration of BH4, L-dopa (and carbidopa) 5-hydroxytryptophan supplements, and a low phenylalanine diet.
Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid that derives from dietary sources, the hydroxylation of phenylalanine, or protein breakdown. Primary (PKU) and secondary (defects of BH4 metabolism) hyperphenylalaninemia can cause abnormally low levels of tyrosine. Measurement of the phenylalanine:tyrosine ratio is helpful in monitoring appropriate nutritional intake.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The quantitative results of phenylalanine and tyrosine with age-dependent reference values are reported without added interpretation. When applicable, reports of abnormal results may contain an interpretation based on available clinical interpretation.
A phenylalanine:tyrosine ratio higher than 3 is considered abnormal.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The determination of plasma phenylalanine and tyrosine levels is not sufficient follow-up for abnormal newborn screening results, because other causes of hyperphenylalaninemia (eg, tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency) cannot be excluded by this test alone.
This test is not sufficient to establish a diagnosis of hyperphenylalaninemia.

Nico Hulkenberg has been labelled a "huge asset" by his new Sauber team as the German is not only fast but also "clever"...
Nico Hulkenberg has been labelled a "huge asset" by his new Sauber team as the German is not only fast but also "clever."
Hulkenberg made the switch from Force India to Sauber in the off-season and tested his team's new C32 earlier this month at Jerez.
The 25-year-old completed 178 laps with a best time of 1.19.502 while giving his Sauber valuable information.
"I worked with Nico briefly at Williams and he's not only a fast driver, he's also a clever driver," chief designer Matt Morris told Autosport.
"That's both in terms of his general approach and also his ability to understanding engineering.
"He's a huge asset to the team."
However, that's not the only thing about Hulkenberg that is big as the German is much taller than Sauber's previous drivers.
"It has been a bit of a challenge to fit Nico in the car," Morris said.
"The chassis was designed and realised around the summer break and we didn't know at that point that Nico was going to be coming.
"He fits, but we had to make some special boots for him to absolutely optimise the feet arrangement.
"But he's pretty happy now."

Thermostat constantly malfunctions
Within a year the thermostat started to blink rapidly, After throwing the circuit breaker it reset, only to malfunction again 2 months later. Now it malfunctions within a day. This product is a piece of crap.
We totally understand you frustration, Brian, and that this not typical of the Solo or really any of our thermostats. Please give us a call right away so we can get that replaced for you under the warranty. ---WYF Customer Care

Thermostat Problems
The system works fine - the floor heats up well - too well. After less than a year, the internal relay stuck in the "On" position and the floor heated well past the setpoint, and wouldn't even turn off when we turned off the thermostat - just kept going up. Switched off the breaker and turned back on after a few minutes seemed to resolve the problem.
Next day, the schedule we programmed into the thermostat had the temperature decreasing during the day, but at the time the schedule was programmed to move from "Wake" tot "Leave", it just stayed in "Wake" and stayed on. Again, had to shut off power. Seems to be a manufacturing defect in the controller.
But the floor does get warm, so that's good.
Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having with your SOLO, Ron. They are generally very reliable thermostats.
If you would like some help troubleshooting the issue, please give us or Nuheat a call. It sounds like it is still well within the warranty period, so we should be able to take care of it for you quite quickly. --WYF Customer Care

Easy to install
Installed, and working properly. However, I will reserve final judgment as this is the 3rd thermostat in 11 years. Hoping maybe this is a new design, and will not malfunction so quickly. We love the heated floors, even in the New Orleans summer!

Seersucker Wrap Robe
Classic Striped Seersucker Cotton Bathrobe
Seersucker Wrap Robe
Classic Striped Seersucker Cotton Bathrobe
What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Seersucker Wrap Robe …
"I bought this in pink and white stripes many, many years ago. While it is primarily a summer robe, I keep it in my closet throughout the year for those times when I simply feel the need for something lightweight. The cut is perfect with sleeves that are just the right length and width so that they don't get in the way when I'm either preparing oatmeal or relaxing with my needlework. I am thrilled that this robe - a classic - is still available and just ordered two, one in pink and one in yellow. Why another pink? There isn't a loose thread anywhere, there isn't a tear - I just feel that, after so many years of service, it's time to get a fresh one." - Toby Moss, Bethesda, MD
"This is a well-made, comfortable robe. Great for summer as it is not heavy like fleece robes. Love it!" - Deb, Concord, NC
"This will be my second robe--the first one, much used, has worn out! I love the cool cotton of this robe, perfect for summer, and look forward to my new one. Takes up very little space in a suitcase, wouldn't leave home without it! They are hard to find!" - Kathy, Roanoke, VA
"Love this robe!! It is so fresh and feels wonderful. Sometimes tie robes don't stay tied. This is super. It is also a non-see-through. I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves an always fresh-feeling robe and looks like it just came out of the dryer." - Edna Williams, Blue Springs, MO

Dream deferred: An interview with Rep. Luis Gutierrez on immigration reform
A congressman would love to see immigration reform become the top priority for the U.S. Catholic Church's social justice agenda.
Interviewing U.S. Representative Luis Gutierrez, arguably the most vocal immigration reform advocate in the U.S. Congress, is a lively experience. As he pounds on the table, enacts and rehearses arguments, pulls out his credit cards to make a point, gesticulates, and at times yells loudly, Gutierrez' passion for the cause of immigrants is on full display.

Saturday, February 08, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 8, 2003) - East Tennessee State's women's basketball team was ready to make its late-season surge in the Southern Conference standings, but after losing to Appalachian State 76-65 at Memorial Center Saturday afternoon, the Buccaneers took a step in the wrong direction. ETSU (7-14, 4-8 SoCon) sparkled the home crowd to begin the game with a 17-4 run early in the first half. The momentum helped the Lady Bucs take a seven-point advantage into the locker room at halftime, 41-34. ETSU forced 13 Appalachian State turnovers in the first stanza, but the Mountaineers (7-14, 6-6 SoCon) took better care of the ball in the second half and forced some turnovers of their own. "They came out with a lot more emotion than we did in the second half," said ETSU head coach Karen Kemp. "We try to take it just one game at a time and this is one game we really wanted. Appalachian State played with a lot of confidence in the second half and they wanted to win more than us." Jessica Jank's layup with 11:35 to play tied the game at 51-51, and Kiki Conyers' first of two free throws gave the Mountaineers their first lead since the opening minutes of the contest. ETSU never regained the lead due partially to missed baskets underneath and untimely turnovers. The Lady Bucs committed 16 personal fouls in the second half sending the Apps to the free throw line 20 times. ASU converted on 17 of those attempts, including some clutch baskets down the stretch to secure the victory. Junior Kiya Verdell (Hartwell, Ga.) was just one steal shy of her first career triple-double. Verdell scored 12 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and recorded nine steals, however, she had to sit down due to foul trouble late in the second half. Verdell eventually fouled out in the waning seconds of the game. Junior Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.) tallied her sixth double-double of the season with 15 points and 15 rebounds. Trantham and Verdell have both garnered double-doubles in their last two outings. Conyers and Aisha Bryant led five players scoring in double figures for Appalachian State with 14 points each. Tiffani Johnson added 13 points, Jank contributed 12 off of the bench, and Jaymi Wilson netted 10 points to go along with her four steals. ETSU travels to College of Charleston on Monday, Feb. 10, to take on the Cougars. Tip-off is set for 4:30 p.m. The Lady Bucs then go to Western Carolina on Saturday, Feb. 15, before returning home to Memorial Center Monday, Feb. 17 to host UNC Greensboro beginning at 7 p.m. Appalachian State goes back to Boone, N.C. for a 7 p.m. home game versus Davidson on Tuesday, Feb. 11.

Video: Knox Trustee's Chief of Staff, Tax Attorney plead guilty
The Chief of Staff and the Delinquent Tax Attorney in the Knox County Trustee's Office appeared in court Wednesday to enter guilty pleas.
The Knox County District Attorney's office separately charged Josh Burnett and Chad Tindell by information with facilitation of official misconduct, which is a class A misdemeanor.
Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz accepted Burnett's and Tindell's pleas and gave each a suspended sentence of 11 months, 29 days. Judge Leibowitz then suspended those sentences. Both men were booked in the City County building and released. They indicated they will apply for judicial diversion.
Knox County Trustee John Duncan III has accepted the resignations of both men.
"I want to thank Josh and Chad for their willingness to serve our office. Despite the way things ended, they helped achieve some great results for the taxpayers of Knox County and they both have accomplishments they should be proud of," Duncan said in a statement.
"I'm pleased to report that the office will continue to function effectively and efficiently with the seamless transition of Bill Curtis moving to Chief Deputy. Bill's outstanding background includes decades of leadership and management experience in the private sector as CEO of the Curtis Mortgage Company. Most recently, Bill has served in the Trustee's Office as Collections Administrator, where he oversaw record tax collections that have led to increased revenues for Knox County."
"In the coming weeks, the position of Delinquent Tax Attorney will be posted through the Knox County Human Resources Department and resumes will be accepted. The arrangement of having this position in-house has produced hundreds of thousands in savings for the county. In the meantime, Chad Tindell will assist the Knox County Law Director's Office to ensure that several pending matters will be taken care of," Duncan said.
Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett also weighed in on Wednesday's pleas.
"Today's news is unfortunate, but it's time to let the legal process play out. I'm confident that the work of the Trustee's Office will continue," Burchett said.
Barnett's attorney, Tommy Hindman, said after his client was booked on Wednesday, "Mr. Burnett is pleased to have this matter behind him and have this opportunity to move on with life."
Tindell's attorney, Don Bosch told 10News in a statement, "It is with great thought and reservation that Tindell has entered into this agreement today. However, this agreement gives Mr. Tindell and his family an opportunity to move forward in a positive way. Mr. Tindell will make further statements after the final hearing in this matter."
Court documents accuse Tindell and Burnett of "knowingly furnish(ing) substantial assistance in the commission of Official Misconduct" that occurred in December 2010.
That's the same month, when 10News first reported in December 2011, that Duncan was caught giving out bonuses totalling $60,000 to himself and five other employees for taking the County Technical Assistance Service program course, even though they had not finished it.
In January 2012, another employee, Zach Brezina, hired a lawyer. Brezina is an analyst in the Trustee's Office. Knox County officials confirmed to 10News that the Trustee's office handed over a laptop computer to them that could have been used in alleged cheating by Trustee Office employees who took the CTAS.
Brezina's attorney confirmed that a criminal investigation was underway, but would not confirm which law enforcement agency was in charge.
All of the employees, including Duncan and Brezina, eventually repaid the approximately $3,000 bonuses to the county. Brezina has never been indicted.
John Gill, Special Council to the District Attorney, told 10News after court on Wednesday that the D.A.'s office could not comment on any charges Duncan, or other employees, could be facing.
Burnett is due back in court on January 16, 2013 for a probation hearing. Tindell's next appearance is set for February 1, 2013.

That's not only healthy, it's pretty too. Green tea is great for the immune system, too.
I am using Camomile tea right now, but I'm going to try this..

That looks so delish...and Lori, if it works for you I am thrilled. This is wonderful, I've shown it to my husband with a not so subtle hint that maybe he can give it a try.
Wonder what the wonder drug in it is?

If that is what is doing it than I'm so happy for you! Nothing worse than insomnia...I had been doing that, waking up at like 3 and not getting back to sleep til 5:30 or 6. Then being so sleepy I didn't hear the alarm. I'm gonna pin this so I can do it.

I hope this is whats working for you Lori. Regardless, I'm glad your sleeping well again. Insomnia is no laughing matter since it can impact hard on other systems in the body. Approaching menopause means my sleep is all over the place, so I may give this a try too.
Thanks for sharing!

Ohhhh what a great idea girl! Glad its helping! I'd just add that if you put honey into hot water it will use some of the healing properties it has. :)

I made a great big pitcher of it...and my husband even drank some. But I used loose green tea, and it was a little bitter.
AND, I made your tandori chicken again....oh that's so good.
The leftovers were eaten in a wrap with yogurt and grape tomatoes, and cucumbers...simply delish.

Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen
"Chocolate, chili powder and cinnamon give this slowly cooked pork a distinctively rich and smoky flavor. Put the ingredients together in the morning, and you'll come home to irresistibly good pork to serve in warm tortillas."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (10.5 ounce) can
Campbell's® Condensed French Onion Soup
1/4 cup
1 tablespoon
chili powder
1 tablespoon
brown sugar
1 teaspoon
ground cumin
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1 (4 pound)
boneless pork shoulder roast
2 tablespoons
semi-sweet chocolate pieces
12 (8 inch)
flour tortillas, warmed
plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup
chopped fresh cilantro leaves
This was AMAZING! Admittedly, I've never had Mole-Style anything so I didn't know what to expect. I was looking for something new, and this was unlike anything I've ever tasted! I didn't have the campbell's soup, so I substituted it with another simple french onion soup recipe from this website. After pulling the pork apart at the end, I slowly added the leftover liquid to it to get it to my preferred texture. As per another reviewers suggestion, I served this with spanish rice. I also added sour cream and cheese to the tortilla after trying it as stated in the recipe, and I found I liked it better with the added ingredients.
The recipe as is is woefully underseasoned. I added TONS of extra cumin. One guest really liked it and I sent the leftovers home with her b/c I found it to be fairly gross. I wouldn't say it was a big hit with the rest of the guests.

I have to first say that I made this tonight using a much smaller piece of left over pork (about 1lb), so I downsized all the ingredients. I also just simmered on the stove since I was using leftovers and did not need to actually cook the pork. I thought the flavors were great. Moles are usually very complicated and they do vary in taste greatly from recipe to recipe. This recipe was easy and had a nice result. I made some spanish rice and corn and we used those items in the burritos too!
Great flavor, but I did forget the chocolate. I didn't use tortillas, instead I served over brown rice with a side of mexican corn. I will make again.
Made this true to recipe portions, but used chipotle powder in place of chili powder. My pork was closer to 4.5# so I added a little extra spice without measuring. Cooked the pork on low for 6h and it was so tender i couldn't even take it out it just fell apart. Before I put the chocolate bits in i tasted the meat and it was spicy but seemed to be missing something and then when i put the chocolate bits in and tasted it -that's what it needed! Will test out for dinner tonight. Will serve w/ some sour cream as the chipotle really spicy!
This recipe is amazing! It's very rich - the flavor is quite dark. I doubled all of the spices and the chocolate because I tend to like things very flavorful. In retrospect, I may not have doubled the chocolate. Still an awesome recipe and exactly what I wanted. I served it on kaiser rolls without the tomatoes or cilantro and loved it that way. Enjoy, all!
Really yummy and easy! It's still good about 4 days later reheated. A very unique taste- if prepared as top-rated reviews suggest.
Would NOT recommend this receipe. Cinnamon destroyed the flavor Very disappointing and most of all, my family :( Will research a receipe that focuses on a more traditional Mole sauce...

Q: How do I know if I need to see a doctor?
A: This is a hard question to answer; no one except you knows exactly how sick you feel and what your symptoms are.
Following a healthy lifestyle — losing weight, eating right, exercising and stopping smoking can pay off by preventing chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. But even when you are healthy, things happen like colds and the flu, lacerations, sprains and broken bones.
The best thing to do is follow your instinct — if you think it is serious enough to be seen by your physician, call the office and schedule an appointment or ask to speak with the nurse. If it is something more urgent — a broken bone, a laceration, chest pain, severe headache, etc. — then you need to be seen in the emergency room.
If you don't have a physician or are looking for a specialist, you can call the physician referral line at Firelands Regional Medical Center. The phone number is 419-557-5587 or 1-877-577-5587.
Also, the emergency room at Firelands Regional Medical Center now has "Quick Care" for minor injuries and illnesses. Located in a special treatment area of the ER, it is designed for quick and convenient treatment. It's open from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
You will be seen by one of our board-certified ER physicians, and you will have the advantage of being right at the ER in case that minor problem turns into something more serious.
Mary Bauer, a registered nurse, is director of community outreach at Firelands Regional Medical Center.

Step 1: Picking the Right Pencil
To make a spiraled pencil you will first need the right pencil. Shown here are three different types of pencils. The first is a six sided pencil. Sounds simple enough, but could prove itself to be difficult for the beginner. The second one is a Ticonderoga pencil, also six sided. Appaently the world's best. The wood on these are sometimes a little bit harder thus being tougher to whittle, if you have a sharp enough knife then go for it. The last is a colored pencil. It is completely round. Its shape will make it easier for beginners to practice on, although the hardness of the wood differs.
After you pick your pencil, you should decide whether or not you want it sharpened. If so, do it before whittling.
With that said, you're ready to start whittling!
would be great for 3D lettering or if you put several together putting lines on blank paper (removing the graphite from every other pencil could be good for makeing multiple copies of the same line maybe for cutting up later) a lot more stable than just a couple of rubber bands)
So far I've only done that with a candle :D Got to try with a pencil, when I have too much spare time :D
Keep them coming this is cool
This should give you perfect spirals every time.
Wanna share this with you, I think this particular show on History channel called "SLICED" is an offense to all engineers, showing the behavior of a spoiled child on a grown man, destroying valuable machinery and equipment.
PS: Nice instructable, very creative.
Wrap the pencil with masking tape, in a spiral pattern.
One edge of the tape JUST touching the opposite edge, on the next row.
Then, scribe in the line between the edges using your hobby knife.
Now, when you whittle away the groove, your edges remain "perfect".
Forgot to mention, using ONE piece of tape for the spiral layout will change the spiral a bit. It will leave you with no land (technobabble for the flat piece of the pencil left un-cut). Instead it will give you more of a screw shaped finished piece.
TO get this trick top produce the original results, bifurcate the tape and remove half. The part not covered by tape then is where you carve. It may be easier to mark the tape's centre BEFORE applying to the pencil.
On the larger scale, a hand saw and a mitre box are the easiest way to make them.
To do this sort of spiral work on a lathe, you need a VERY specialized setup, with a router on the tool post, gear driven feeds, and head rotation. In fact, the lather isn't used as a lathe at all, but instead uses the head and tail stock as mounting points..
As you can see it is actually quite complex, as fast as wood turning goes.

How bout Rex saying that he wants to keep Revis on the active roster in case he can make it back for the SUPER BOWL.........
Thats a good one Rex. So ridiculous on a couple of levels. First the idea of the Jests making it to the Super Bowl......
Secondly, it takes up a roster spot they could use for some other terrible player.
Finally, what happens when they need that roster spot and they go ahead and place Revis on IR? Does that signal to the team that now even Rex dosent believe they are going to the Super Bowl? Will that just give more reason to the players to cave?
How bout Cromartie proclaiming that now that Revis is out that he is the best corner in the league.
First, Cromartie is no where close to this.
Second, he is suggesting that Revis is the best and he is the 2nd best. GET REAL.
First of all, they arent even the best tandem in the league. Denver has by far the best tandem in the NFL at CB. There are a couple of other teams who are up there as well.
Also, Revis is highly overrated. The idea that he is the best corner in the league is just thrown out there and everyone just goes along with it as if its some kind of lock. Ever since that one season they went 11-5, this guy has gotten a free ride. Fact is, his play has drastically declined.
If someone wanted to argue that Revis is a top 5 corner, I may buy that. He is right in that neighborhood. But, he clearly isnt the best. He had a dominant couple of seasons. But, is that supposed to mean he is just handed the title of best in the league for the rest of his career? I dont think so.
First of all, Champ Bailey is a lock hall of famer. Revis is not.
Cortland Finnegan is so underrated every year its crazy. He has been playing like the best corner in the league while Revis has been worried about contracts.
If that Talib kid ever decided to get his **** together, he has as much if not more talent than Revis and can actually make game changing plays with his INTs and return skills.
Charles Woodson is another HOF type guy with a SUPER BOWL ring to show. Revis dosent have any of that **** yet.
That Joseph dude goes under the radar a lot for some reason. I guess because he played for the Bungles and now the Texans. In the NY market, he would get a lot more credit.
Webb dosent get near enough credit for how well he plays in Baltimore.
That Grimes kid in Atlanta has come on the scene and turned into one of the leagues best. You just dont hear about him because its all about Revis.
Patrick Peterson is emerging as well and should develope into one of the leagues best. He also returns kicks and makes big plays.
I just get so sick of this passed along idea that Revis is so much the best corner in the league. It isnt true. He had one season where he probably was the best. As of the last couple of years, he simply isnt.
There are a couple of guys on that list like Champ and Woodson who have had much better careers and were never really behind Revis even when he had those couple of elite seasons. Lately, Im not even sure you classify Revis as elite in terms of CB. Cromartie is definately nowhere close. He isnt even as good as Sean Smith.
Then there are a few young or under the radar players on that list who have out performed Revis the last couple of seasons as well.
So you can run and tell THAT! Homeboy.

Spit Curl Diva Game Victor in Merial Distaff Challenge Championship
November 19, 2010
Spit Curl Diva was a game favorite in the $125,000 Merial Distaff Challenge Championship (G1), holding off a charging Believers Gathering by a nose.
Spit Curl Diva, ridden by David Brown, ran the 400 yards in :19.767 to earn a 107 speed index. The mare led throughout. This is her 16th victory in 29 starts, and her eighth win in nine starts this year. The $57,500 winnings boosted her lifetime earnings to $695,938. In her previous start, she defeated males in the Refrigerator Handicap (G1).
"In the final strides she was getting a little tired, but she gave me her all and got it done," said her jockey. "I think the sand in this track just got her a little tired.
"I'm really looking forward to (the Champion of Champions)," Brown continued. "You only get to ride a horse like this once in your lifetime. I think this race sets her up perfectly for the Champion of Champions."
Spit Curl Diva is owned by Thomas Lepic, who last month bought out his partners for sole ownership in the mare. The 4-year-old mare is trained by Jody Brown.
Spit Curl Diva is by Spit Curl Jess out of the Some Dasher mare Some Kinda Diva. She was bred in Oklahoma by Little Deer Creek QH.
"David said she labored a little bit at the end so that's why it was close," said Lepic. "But a win is a win. You don't win every race by a length or two. With a race like this, you just want to win. This horse was meant to do that. It was great.
"She's now won at five different tracks in five different states at five different distances," he continued. "It's been an unbelievable year for her."
The 37-1 longshot Believers Gathering just missed. The homebred mare racing for Walter Fletcher was ridden by Orlando Baldillez.
"My mare ran her eyeballs out," Baldillez said. "She ran a great race. We can't take nothing from her (Spit Curl Diva), she just beat us. My mare ran her race."
Sheza Bad Habit was third, a head back. She was followed by Silk Mountain, Splendifferous, Tisa Dream Runne, La Jolla Suspect, Little Surfer and Beautiful Ashlee. Jesstifiably Stoli fell out of the gate. According to track veterinarian Dr. Tom David, the mare suffered injuries to her pelvis and spinal cord and had to be euthanized. Jockey David Pinon was uninjured.
Spit Curl Diva on Monday will head to Los Alamitos to prepare for the December 11 Champion of Champions (G1).

St. Mary's animal control officers issued a citation last week to Jennifer Hurry of the Laurel Ridge neighborhood for improper shelter for two horses and a pony.
A horse and a pony were removed from the 29,795-square-foot lot at 29706 Finch Court, said Tony Malaspina, animal control supervisor, and taken to a horse farm.
Wayne Norton of La Plata made several complaints to St. Mary's animal control on behalf of his daughter Yvette Morey, who lives next door. Norton himself has two horses on his 5-acre property and said he doesn't mind people keeping a horse on smaller lots, "as long as it's humanely kept."
The two horses and the pony at Finch Court were kept in a corral in the backyard under a tree. Under St. Mary's animal control guidelines, a tree can serve as a shelter for horses, Malaspina said. However, the tree has been bare since the fall, providing no shelter.
Animal control would have captured the three animals, but one horse "was pretty wild. We couldn't catch it," Malaspina said. So the corral was moved next to a shed and a holly tree to provide shelter for the remaining horse.
"It was March 5 of last year," Norton said when he first started looking into local regulations in his complaints about the horses' living conditions.
With three horses living in cramped conditions, their waste ran across his daughter's backyard on its way to a nearby stream, he said. "It's really an atrocious thing she's had to put up with for years," Norton said, along with her two children living there.
Hurry could not be reached for comment.
Commissioner Larry Jarboe (R), who represents northern St. Mary's, was notified and drove past the property on Finch Court. "It looked to me like we're looking at a horse concentration camp. First of all there's a neglect issue," he said. Also, "that area is not zoned for an equestrian facility." The neighborhood is zoned a residential neighborhood conservation district, not the rural preservation district.
There were also complaints about unlicensed vehicles on the street in front of the house, which comes under the authority of both the St. Mary's sheriff's office and department of land use and growth management.
"We have multiple enforcement, but it's not coordinated," Jarboe said. "Why did it take over a year? We're not coordinating our actions very well."

REVIEW: Free Birds is a Thanksgiving Turkey
It's that time of year again, when holiday movies descend upon us. The Halloween specials are winding down and the buzz for Christmas film releases are garnering more attention, but Hollywood always seems to forget about Thanksgiving. "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" and "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" notwithstanding, the pickings are pretty slim.
Hoping to finally give Thanksgiving its cinematic due, director Jimmy Hayward serves up "Free Birds," a tale of two turkeys who abandon the norms of a family-friendly film and embark upon an unexpectedly serious adventure.
Thanksgiving has never been better for Reggie (Owen Wilson). He's just been named the Presidential Pardoned Turkey, which means free pizza and TiVo for the rest of his life. But his the lap of luxury is short-lived when a delusional turkey named Jake (Woody Harrelson) kidnaps him and tells him of his secret mission: to travel back in time to stop the first Thanksgiving and save every turkey who has been murdered for the annual meal.
From there, the plot turns strangely intense and dark for a target audience of five- to eleven-year-olds. The two turkeys—along with their ancestors from the 1600s—plan to bombard a human settlement that is inexplicably defenseless. Myles Standish (Colm Meaney) and his team of scavengers care only about the ruthless hunting of turkeys, not finding some other, less complicated means to feed their starving neighbors. The conflict doesn't fit the genre of the film, and it can't even generate sympathy with the turkeys. The time machine also brings inconsistencies, as it left Reggie and Jake's travels with several plot holes.
The distinct lack of humor also adds to the seriousness of the plot, with more dramatic dialogues than witty one-liners. In its first act, the film holds the potential of a feel-good family comedy, but unfortunately almost all of its humor comes from the President's daughter (Kaitlyn Maher), who chooses Reggie as the Pardoned Turkey, makes hilariously frank comments about her daddy's staff, and promptly leaves the film after 10 minutes.
Almost every other character, though was markedly less loveable. Jake makes an odd sidekick for Reggie with his talk of a mysterious "Great Turkey" who gave him his mission to save his kind. He also develops a strange rivalry with native turkey Leatherbeak (Hayward), in which they inexplicably act like anime sumo-wrestlers – complete with "dubbed" dialogue. The romance between Reggie and Leatherbeak's sister Jenny (Amy Poehler) may be the sweetest part of the film, but all sentimentality is lost in the fierce human-turkey confrontations.
While "Free Birds" has good intentions to provide a fun family film for Thanksgiving, it is ultimately too serious with its plot, leaving the audience confused – we're rooting for lunch meat over our own species, for crying out loud – and rather disturbed. Some advice for this Thanksgiving: spend it with Charlie Brown instead of this turkey of a film.

You might want to pre-read pages 72 through 76, halfway down the page, and make an outline for what to do next.
It will go something like this:
1. Meet with the guy that you're going to do the 5th with & spill your guts, and don't let him off the hook easy -- be sure you also tell him "all your life story" (pg 73)
2. Follow the precise instructions on page 75, paragraph 2. And, be sure to stop reading at the end of paragraph 2.
3. Go home, or where ever you can find a place where you can be comfortable, undistrubed and quiet for an hour.
3. a. Then place your Big Book on a shelf where you'll have to reach for it to take it down to do some reading.
4. After the hour is over (60 minutes... not 62 or 53 minutes)... turn to page 75, last paragraph -- and follow the instructions in that paragraph precisely... without reading further in the book.
4. a. The page that it's referring to... that has the 12 Steps on it (for the first five proposals) is page 59, in the Big Book.
5. Only after you have answered ALL of the questions in that last paragraph on page 75 -- then, you can turn to the top of page 76, and follow the instructions in the first paragraph at the top of page 76.
6. AFTER you've followed the instructions in that paragraph -- then read the following paragraph -- and follow those instructions.
Once you're finished with that -- be sure to check in with us and give us an update.
For me, when I did it in that precise order -- it really rocked me! Oh what an experience!!! It was really powerful and left me speechless. And, that's the precise order that we follow when I take people through the 12 Steps.... just following the detailed, precise instructions in that book -- and it's guaranteed to rocket you into a dimension of living that's absolutely mind-blowing and producing the necessary transformation in thought and attitude to get you over the drinking part of the problem!
I didn't do this afterwards and I didn't know I was supposed to as I had not read anything here about step 5. My bad, but also my sponsors. I feel kind of robbed because I didn't come home and reflect for an hour or read anything. Should I go over my 4th now and do all of this?
Thanks for listening,

Not warm enough for a Michigan spring but okay. Light and quietRead More
Worth the Money!
First, I have to tell you that I am more picky than most people, especially when it comes to stuff that will touch my skin! My husband says I would have made a great Queen! I carefully read reviews looking for just the right comforter for our Master Bedroom. My husband and I had enjoyed the fluffy, soft covers during our stay at the Hampton Inn, and we wanted something very close to their white, soft comforter. I decided on the down alternative comforter, because I was afraid I might have allergies to real down. I then started to narrow down the comforters that Overstock has to offer. I did not want to pay $400 for a comforter, like one would have to do for Hampton's bedding. We are pretty rough on our comforters, and I needed something more "disposable." When this comforter came in the mail, I promptly took it straight to my extra-large capacity washer to give it a freshening wash, as I do not like the smell of a new piece of bedding, generally. I wanted to wash it in my detergent and fabric softener so that it would be fresh for the first night of use. As one person previously reported, I got a small tear in the seam where the comforter rubbed against the agitator, apparently. I decided that this comforter, especially in a king size, is just too big to go in a home washer, and I think it really would be better to take it to a laundry mat or dry cleaner for cleaning. Otherwise, you are going to rub all kinds of tears in it. I put it through 3 cycles in the dryer. It fluffed fine, but it takes a long time to dry all that filling inside. Now that my comforter was clean and fresh, I was ready to test it for comfort. My initial feeling was that the material did not really seem as soft (at supposedly 700 thread count) as my 400 thread count sheets did. For particularly sensitive princesses like me, I thought it had just a tad bit of roughness to it, but nothing horrible. After sleeping with it for two nights now, I can say that it is wonderful. It does not make me itch or bother my very sensitive skin in any way. It is incredibly soft! The weight of this comforter is about moderate. It is not too light or too heavy. We sleep under heavy air conditioning, and it definitely is wonderful to snuggle under it in the cool hours of the morning. It keeps you very warm without being really heavy on your body. I think it will be great in the winter here in Tennessee. Like other reviewers, I will say that it runs extremely small. I put it on a Queen bed with thick mattresses, and it will not even cover from top to bottom of the mattress. It comes down on the sides just about to where the dust ruffle should start. I think you are going to have to find a thin spread or something to put over it if you want to have a good looking bed ensemble. It definitely does not cover my bed like I would like. I use it more like one would use a blanket. I have a more formal spread to put on when company comes. So what is my bottom line? Even with all its shortcomings (mostly the size of it), I love it, and so does my husband. It is every bit as comfortable as the Hampton Inn's luxurious bedding. At this price, you can use it and replace it when it gets worn out. I am thinking about getting one for all my kids for their beds for the winter. They are so nice to wrap up in, and if you are worried about soiling the white comforter, I would recommend getting a comfortable duvet cover that can be taken off and washed periodically. For me, I think I will just take mine to the laundry mat when it needs washing and put it in their huge commercial washer. You don't have to do it that often, and it is a minor inconvenience to have this much plush, soft cover night after night. I urge you to go for it! I doubt you would be disappointed.Read More
Wonderful comforter
This comforter is exactly what I was looking for. Cannot use feather comforters due to allergies. The material is luxurious. The weight has substance. Not one of those flimsy comforters, but not too heavy either. I purchased the king-size one--there is approx a 12" overhang on each side, and a nice 18" overhang at the bottom. Plenty of comforter to snuggle into comfortably. It fluffed up nicely after opened and left to air out for a couple hours. I am VERY happy with my purchase.Read More
Best Buy
I've always had down, so was hesitant purchasing the alternative. This comforter was a delight right out of the box. What a beautiful cover (and I'm very particular about the quality of cotton covers!). I just shook it from all sides and it's been great ever since. We've had it on the bed for the past couple weeks and I wouldn't change a thing about it. It's lightweight, but very cozy and fluffy; not some heavy comforter making you too hot and bulky. Keeps us warm for cold nights and very comfortable for summer, too. I like the box stitching and each time I change the bed linens, I give it a gentle shake, which I also had to do with the down ones. It is also very ample in size, covering 10 inches plus on the sides and more on the bottom on our king size bed. Don't hesitate on this one; it's a keeper!! I also like the fact it's machine washable and tumble dry.Read More
Great Comforter Til Washed
This comforter was absolutely wonderful when I first got it. VERY soft and nice & fluffy. Everything about it I liked - until the day came when I had to wash it. I have an extra large capacity washing machine, so it's not that I crammed it into a small washer. But when I pulled it out, all of the fill was clumped up. I thought maybe it was just because it was wet, so I tossed it into the dryer, but to no avail.Now the comforter is EXTREMELY lumpy and no matter what I tried, nothing ever fixed it. The fill was in such uneven shape it didn't even lay on the bed well.If you're going to get this one, please save yourself the annoyance and have it dry cleaned.Read More
Very Nice Quality
I decided on getting a down alternative comforter instead of down because of problems I've had in the past with my sensitive nose in always being able to smell the down in comforters/pillows, no matter how nice the quality. Wow, this comforter is beautiful and high quality. It looks and feels just like a down comforter to me. And of course, absolutely no smell. It is exactly what I was hoping for and I was not disappointed at all. The 700 TC looks great and is so soft/silky. I don't think you could get a nicer quality and look of down at this price.Read More

INTERVIEW: We Talk to Architecture for Humanity's Co-Founder Kate Stohr
Inhabitat: What were you trying to accomplish with this second version of your book?
Kate Stohr: Well, things change with time and people do actually learn a thing or two. The first time we did the book, there really was no one place that had great precedent studies of community design. There were a lot of academic white paper type things, but nothing that connected great pictures of the project with what it cost and who built it. Since the first edition, I think there is now much more interest in the field and so there are some good resources out there to learn about projects. With the second edition of the book we were much more focused on how these projects come together. So, you'll see a handy chart of financing structures in the front of the book and really in depth (if concise) looks at how some of these complex projects came together and who the stakeholders were on each. For example, we really didn't focus on the beautiful design of the High Line project in New York City, which many people are familiar with at this point, but rather the complex roadmap of stakeholders needed to bring a project of that sort to life. We're hoping that looking at the projects from this angle will help people replicate some of the success stories included in the book.
Inhabitat: It's no surprise to us that you were able to find as many projects as you did, but what surprised you while compiling all the projects?
Kate Stohr: I was surprised by the number of spiritual and memorial spaces that came forward during the process. That wasn't initially included as a section in our original table of contents. However, they were just so great. I think something about the last few years required places for contemplation. The fear after the 9/11 attacks, the wars in the Middle East, the on-going conflict in places like the Congo — this was not an easy few years. I think we forget about these sometimes very small spaces and how important they are to us and are understanding of our place in this constantly swirling, churning global world.

Since it sounds like you are the one designing the database, you can make this a number of ways. The simplest is probably to reduce it to two variables, likely two decimals.
See this hemoglobin example for a chromosomal locus example.
Chromatid can be easily represented as a decimal, where the integer portion is the chromosome number, and the decimal portion corresponds to the chromatid and arm.
The chromosomal locus can be another decimal, such as 15.5 for the example above.
This is of course one way, and there are many other ways you could do this.

Sebastian Vettel fears Red Bull may not have "enough tyres to survive" Sunday's Malaysian GP after suffering severe degradation in practice...
Sebastian Vettel fears Red Bull may not have "enough tyres to survive" Sunday's Malaysian GP after suffering severe degradation in practice.
Many teams suffered high degradation with their Pirelli tyres during Friday's running at the Sepang circuit - and Red Bull was one of those teams.
Putting in the laps during the afternoon's session, which he finished second quickest behind Kimi Raikkonen, Vettel was heard over the radio complaining of "vibrations" as ate into his tyres.
As such the reigning World Champion has concerns that Red Bull could run out of tyres during Sunday's grand prix.
"We'll see," he said when asked about his team's prospects for round two of the Championship.
"I hope we have enough tyres to survive the race, tyre wear was obviously quite big today for everyone.
"Tomorrow is a different day. There could be some rain, and you saw how quickly things can change. It's Malaysia.
"It's a different place, different tyres. Today tyre wear was pretty severe for everyone. It's not a lot of fun, but that's how it is, it's the same for everyone.
"We need to try a couple of things to make it better. We tried today. Hopefully we learned the right lessons and can make a step forward.
"This afternoon we couldn't do that much because of the weather, which was a little bit disappointing."
Meanwhile, his Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber gave his thoughts on the tyre situation, saying Pirelli are dominating grand prix weekends.
"The whole category is geared around tyres at the moment," said the Aussie. "Everything is around tyres. Tyres, tyres, tyre, tyres, tyres..."

Goals: Voyager 1 and 2 were designed to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment to explore the outer solar system. Voyager 1 targeted Jupiter and Saturn before continuing on to chart the far edges of our solar system.
Voyager 1 was to become the second spacecraft to visit Saturn. Its mission there was to explore the planet and its rings, moons, and magnetic field in greater detail than was possible for its predecessor, Pioneer 11.
Accomplishments: Voyager 1 met all of its goals except for the experiments planned for its photopolarimeter, which failed to operate. The spacecraft found three new moons: Prometheus and Pandora, the "shepherding" moons that keep the F ring well-defined, and Atlas which similarly shepherds the A ring. Saturn's largest moon, Titan, was found to have a thick atmosphere which hides its surface from visible-light cameras and telescopes. Spacecraft instruments showed it to be mostly nitrogen, like Earth's atmosphere, but with a surface pressure 1.6 times as high as ours.
The spacecraft also imaged the moons Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, and Rhea; revealed the fine structures of Saturn's complex and beautiful ring system; and added the G ring to the list of known rings.
Just as it used Jupiter's gravity to help it reach Saturn, Voyager 1 used a gravity assist at Saturn to alter its course and increase its speed, giving it a trajectory to take it out of the solar system. Voyager 1 entered interstellar space in August 2012.

Bing and bang—like most four-letter words—are far bigger than the sum of their parts. Take, for example, the Marquis Studs. Though small in size, this pair packs a pretty heavy punch in the style arena. No surprise there, as NYC-based Bing Bang has stocked the shelves of some majorly reputable retailers—from Saks Fifth Avenue to boutiques around the world. Made with Swarovski crystals, this piecing pair will melt anyone's heart.
Studs: W .1" L .4". Sterling silver posts.
