Could Detectives Use Microbes To Solve Murders?
Originally published on Thu October 31, 2013 1:30 pm
In the woods outside Huntsville, Texas, scientists are trying to determine whether they can use the microbes that live on the human body as microscopic witnesses that could help catch criminals.
It's a strange scene at the Southeast Texas Applied Forensic Science Facility. At first, it's easy to miss the human bodies scattered among the tall pines, wild grass and weeds.
"We hope microbes can tell crime scene investigators how long a person has been dead," Sibyl Bucheli of Sam Houston State University explains, as she leads a group of researchers and visitors from NPR through a tall, chain-link fence surrounding the facility and down a dusty path to her research plot.
The facility is one of the few places where, in the interest of developing new tools for forensic science, researchers can leave human bodies out in the open to study what happens as the remains decompose.
Bucheli is an entomologist who has spent years studying the ways insects on a body can help pinpoint how long a murder victim has been dead. Knowing how long it takes a particular species of fly to complete its life cycle from egg to larva to pupa to winged insect, for example, can help an investigator figure out how long a corpse has been exposed to the insects, establishing a minimum time since death.
That got Bucheli thinking. "If insects change through time, then so do bacteria," she says. "And if insects can be used, so can the bacteria."
It's possible, she says, that information from bacteria could improve the accuracy of these time-of-death estimates. The microbes might also be useful when insects aren't present, she says, helping to determine how long a person has been dead, when insects aren't available to do that.
Such research is just in the beginning stages, but already, a scientific team at the University of Colorado has been able to use bacteria alone to narrow down how long a mouse has been dead to within three days.
"We're really pushing the envelope of microbial forensic science," says microbial ecologist Jessica Metcalf, a member of that Colorado team. She and her boss, microbiome researcher Rob Knight, have come to the forensics facility in southeastern Texas to collaborate with Bucheli, hoping to do with human bodies what they did in the mice.
One of the first tasks the day we visit is placing three fresh bodies in the woods. A small tractor pulls up, carrying the first body inside a blue plastic body bag. Three men lift the body off the tractor and place it on the ground. They unzip the bag and carefully unwrap the white sheet that swaddles the cadaver.
"We want to do this as respectfully as possible," Bucheli says.
It's a difficult moment. Corpses that have been in the field a little longer look like mummies, barely recognizable as human. The new remains are from people who have only recently died and donated their bodies for scientific research. Bucheli is clearly moved. She pauses briefly for what she calls her "thank-you moment."
"I'm deeply appreciative of the people who make my research possible ... all of them," she says.
The scientists mark each body's position with a metal post and then begin several hours of intense work, meticulously gathering dozens of samples of bacteria.
They carefully scrape the skin in the same spots on each body and methodically scoop up dirt from precise locations near the remains. Their plan is to come back day after day, month after month, to sample these exact spots, to figure out if, over time, the communities of bacteria in these various spots change in predictable ways as time passes and the remains decompose.
"We're looking for a microbial clock," Metcalf says. A clock like that could be used as a reference tool in forensic investigations.
Microbes might one day help police in other ways, too, the scientists say. The population of bacteria on a person who died of natural causes, for example, might look different than the bacteria on someone who was beaten to death.
And because different varieties of microbes are found in different places, the bacterial census of a corpse might show whether a body has been killed in one place and then dumped in another. Microbes might also help police who are searching for unmarked graves.
"If you suspected that there's a body buried in a certain field, can you just swab little bits of soil and say, 'Oh this particular area has microbial organisms that we usually find associated with a decomposing corpse?' " Metcalf asks. That's the sort of question she and Bucheli hope their work will help answer.
And that's not all. Knight says he thinks microbes could one day provide for each of us a kind of microbial fingerprint that could help police solve all sorts of crimes while we're alive, as well as after we're dead.
Back on campus, Knight demonstrates how it works. He pops open a small plastic vial, grabs a cotton swab and pulls out his laptop to test the keyboard.
"You dip the Q-tip in the saline solution and you rub it thoroughly on the individual key," he explains. The swab quickly turns a greasy brown.
"So what's on there is a combination of finger grease, dust and bacteria ... maybe as many as a billion," Knight says. "Definitely enough to track it back to an individual."
Knight has been able to use an analysis of these communities of bacteria to match people to objects they've touched. So microbes might be able to do things like link a suspect to a murder weapon or the scene of the crime, he says.
"There are a lot of cases where it's clear that the suspect touched something but you don't have a print you can use off it," Knight says.
He even thinks that analyzing the different communities of microbes on peoples' bodies might eventually prove to be a useful tool for tracking an individual's movements — to see if the person had recently returned from Afghanistan or been in Boston, for example.
All of this, Bucheli hopes, will one day help answer the most important question for the families of victims: Who is responsible?
"I'm somebody's mom," Bucheli says. "I'm somebody's sister. You always think about: Who? Who did this?"
Now, no one yet knows how much of this research will prove useful in forensics. Most practical applications are likely years away. But it's already clear that some of these techniques will likely raise lots of questions — about privacy, civil liberties and how much we want our microbes to reveal about ourselves.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Melissa Block. Over the last few weeks, we've been exploring the role that microorganisms play in our lives, how microbes that live in and on our bodies affect our health. We've heard how doctors are trying to manipulate those microbes to treat us when we get sick.
Well, today, we're gonna hear about another way researchers are hoping to use those tiny organisms. As NPR's Rob Stein reports, they might help solve murders and other crimes.
ROB STEIN, BYLINE: Sibyl Bucheli got her first taste of how science can help solve crimes six years ago when a box arrived at her office in Huntsville, Texas.
SIBYL BUCHELI: And it was full of insects. It was just full of insects.
STEIN: The insects had been swept up at a crime scene. Police had found a badly decomposed body in a dilapidated house. Bucheli had just started working at Sam Houston State University as an entomologist and the cops figured she might be able to help. Bucheli immediately zeroed in on one of the bugs in the box.
BUCHELI: A moth.
STEIN: A common house moth, the type that eats your sweaters. As soon as she spotted it, she knew she was onto something.
BUCHELI: The moths make a cocoon, a portable shelter and it was putting pieces of the deceased's hair in its shelter.
STEIN: And even more exciting...
BUCHELI: The hair that was in the shelter had DNA in it.
STEIN: With DNA testing, the cops were able to identify the body and so began Bucheli's fascination with forensics.
BUCHELI: Good morning, Jordan.
STEIN: That fascination has brought Bucheli here, to the woods just outside Huntsville.
BUCHELI: This is the Southeast Texas Applied Forensic Science Facility. This is our center for anthropological research or forensic research.
STEIN: She leads us through a gate in a tall chain-link fence topped with razor wire down a dusty path into a small clearing. It's a strange scene. For a moment, you don't even notice, scattered among the towering pine trees, the wild grass and weeds are bodies.
BUCHELI: There's actually four. One of them has become much more like soil.
STEIN: Four dead bodies in different stages of decomposition. One, just bones and gray dust, the others still covered in leathery skin, an odd pallet of dark brown, orange and yellow. Some still have hair, teeth.
BUCHELI: These are our research cadavers and so this is 011 and 009.
STEIN: They call this a body farm, one of the few places that scientists can leave bodies lying around in the open to study how they decompose.
BUCHELI: The one that you see we put out in late December, early January.
STEIN: Bucheli spent years studying how insects can pinpoint how long decomposed bodies have been dead. But that got Bucheli thinking, what about those other things we call bugs that aren't really bugs at all?
BUCHELI: If insects change through time, then so do bacteria. And if insects can be used, so can the bacteria.
STEIN: Our bodies are full of bacteria - on our skin, in our mouths, everywhere. Scientists think they could essentially become microscopic witnesses, witnesses that could tell police all sorts of things. We'll get to more about all that later. But for now, we'll focus on Bucheli's work, which she hopes will answer one of the most important questions in any murder investigation, when did the victim die?
BUCHELI: That's the ultimate question, how long. How long has that person been in the woods?
STEIN: By sampling bacteria from decomposing bodies, what she's found so far looks promising. The types of bacteria on a corpse seem to change in predictable ways over time. And as it turns out, other scientists have been finding the same thing.
BUCHELI: Do you guys want (unintelligible)?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Yeah, maybe, if you have them.
STEIN: Even though the hot sun is beating down, Jessica Metcalf is pulling on a white jumpsuit and plastic facemask. She works at the University of Colorado and has traveled to Huntsville with some colleagues today to team up with Bucheli's group.
JESSICA METCALF: So we're just gonna take some soil samples.
STEIN: Metcalf has already shown that bacteria can narrow down how long a mouse has been dead to within three days. She wants to prove it works with human bodies.
METCALF: You know, we're really pushing the envelope of microbial forensic science right now.
STEIN: To push that envelope, the researchers are placing three fresh bodies in the woods. A small tractor pulls up, carrying the first body inside a blue plastic body bag.
METCALF: You take him off this way.
STEIN: Three men lift the body off the tractor and place it on the ground.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Which way do you want the head?
STEIN: They unzip the body bag and carefully unwrap a white sheet swaddling the cadaver.
BUCHELI: We want to do this as respectfully as possible.
STEIN: It's a difficult moment. The older corpses are barely recognizable. They look like mummies. These bodies are people who just recently died and donated their bodies for scientific research. Bucheli is clearly moved. She pauses briefly for what she calls her thank-you moment.
BUCHELI: I am deeply appreciative of the people that make my research possible, all of them.
STEIN: The scientists mark each body's position with a metal post and then start several hours of intense work, meticulously gathering dozens of samples of bacteria.
BUCHELI: Do it. Let's do it.
STEIN: Carefully scrape the skin in the same spots on each body and methodically scoop up dirt in precise locations. They will come back day after day, month after month, to sample the exact same spots.
METCALF: What we're looking for is whether the microbial community changes in a clock-like manner. So we're looking for a microbial clock.
STEIN: A clock showing exactly how the species of bacteria on a decomposing body change as time passes. Microbes could also help police in many other ways, not just determining the time of death but helping figure out how someone died. The bacteria on a person who died naturally may look different than the bacteria on someone who was beaten to death.
And because different varieties of microbes are found in different places, they might show whether a body has been killed in one place and then dumped in another or when police are searching for unmarked graves.
METCALF: If you suspected that there's a body buried in a certain field, can we just swab little bits of soil and say, oh, you know, this particular area has microbial organisms that we usually find in soils that are associated with a decomposing corpse?
STEIN: And that's not all. Metcalf's boss, Rob Knight thinks microbes could provide a kind of microbial fingerprint while we're alive and help police solve all sorts of crimes.
ROB KNIGHT: What I have here are a bunch of swabs.
STEIN: Back in the office, he shows me how it works. He pulls out his laptop and demonstrates on the keyboard.
KNIGHT: You dip the Q-tip in the saline solution and you rub it very thoroughly on the individual key.
STEIN: The Q-tip quickly turns a greasy brown.
KNIGHT: So what's on there is a combination of finger grease, dust and bacteria.
STEIN: Like, how much bacteria?
KNIGHT: At least a million, maybe as many as a billion.
STEIN: Maybe as many as a billion?
KNIGHT: Right. And definitely enough to track it back down to an individual.
STEIN: Knight has been able to use this bacteria to match people to objects they've touched. So microbes might be able to do things like link a suspect to a murder weapon or the scene of the crime.
KNIGHT: There's a lot of cases where it's clear that the suspect touched something but you don't have a print you can use off it.
STEIN: All of this, Bucheli says, will hopefully answer the most important question for the families of victims. Who is responsible?
BUCHELI: You know, I'm somebody's mom. I'm somebody's sister. You know, you always think about, you know, who - who did this?
STEIN: Now, no one yet knows how much of this will turn out to work. And if it does, it's easily years away. But if it does work, it would raise lots of questions, questions about privacy, civil liberties and how much we want our microbes to reveal about ourselves. Rob Stein, NPR News.

Hollywood Glamour at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood, Florida
According to Madonna, "Everybody comes to Hollywood," but in over a decade of winter snow-birding, I never made the ten-mile trek south from Fort Lauderdale to Hollywood, Florida.
Luckily, a stay at the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa fixed all that - and now Hollywood is no longer just that discombobulating hyphenate on the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport sign.
International is probably a good place to begin. the Diplomat is the oldest "new" hotel on that strip of Intracoastal route A1A dotted with megalith hotels. Indeed, the architectural firm of Nichols, Brosch, Sandoval & Associates left a gaping hole in the center of their curved, 39-story double tower that looks like a nice place to park a craft from "Bladerunner,"
but the history of the hotel dates back to the 1950s.
Before it was imploded by 500 pounds of dynamite in the spring of 1998, the Diplomat was a home-away-from-home for the Rat Pack. Supermarket magnate Samuel Friedland put up a 150-room hotel called The Envoy in 1953. The following year he added 370 rooms and renamed it The Diplomat, turning it over to his son and daughter-in-law to manage.
From Rat Pack To Bladerunner
During its 70s heyday, the hotel's Café Crystal and Tack Room Lounge played host to Frank, Sammy, Liza and Shirley. MacLaine was an old hand, having spent her teenage years hawking refrigerator magnets up and down Miami Beach, but from The Diplomat stage, she tallied a film career comprised of 14 hookers, a geisha and a nun, quipping, "It was easier playing hookers, at least I could lay down."
Not one to lay down himself, Sinatra even popped out of retirement to perform on New Year's Eve in 1974, pulling in a cool $200,000 for an hour's work. But as Sinatra faded from prominence, so did The Diplomat. In 1983, the hotel was plagued by a series of fires and shuttered for its crucial winter season.
In 1984, the Diplomat was back, welcoming President Ronald Reagan as well as a New Year's Eve ushered in by Bob Hope, but the hotel continued to slide into decline and in 1987 was unloaded to a local consortium of labor unions who bailed it out to the tune of $44,000,000.
But things still headed south until the hotel was shuttered and dynamited in 1998 before another name change--the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa--and a new management company--Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide--ushered this brand new 998-room beachfront resort into the 21st century.
With a little digging, tiny, framed snatches of the Diplomat's storied history can be found scattered throughout the new, high-tech, Art Deco hotel. Upon entering the soaring, glassed-in atrium, several bellhops do a Marx Brothers' routine, practically diving over one another to open the door. The first thing that pops into my mind is how many bellhops does it take to open a door at The Diplomat?
But good luck getting away with the term "bellhop." The hotel's over one thousand employees are known as Ambassadors and each uniform tag lists not only a name, but a passion. As I'm standing in the lobby, starring down a double row of petrified palms framing a water element that stretches the width of the lobby and pulls one toward the Atlantic Ocean like an undertow, I close my eyes and breath deep as the scent of White Tea fills my lungs.
Ambassador Jeffrey Mikus ("My Passion: English Bulldogs"), fresh from a spin class, breaks me out of my reverie, booming, "I'm in charge of fun." Indeed, a business card later reveals him to be the Diplomat's "Director of Fun," and that's Jeffrey all over, fun with a capital 'F', but he begins to win me over when he leans in to whisper that the lobby orchids are rotated daily as we wait for the Fantasy Island collection of journalists to assemble for a tour which he will guide.
Jeffrey shuffles us out onto the hotel's back deck, a glorious stack-up of multiple mineral pools free of chlorine and hidden hot tubs. On the upper deck, an infinity pool runs straight out from the hotel, its narrow vanishing edge dropping off into the Atlantic, while beneath it, another long pool runs perpendicular. The two are connected by an oculus in the center of the top pool that's skirted by double waterfalls on the lower pool. Before shoving off, Jeffrey motions to the glass bottom and says, "Some of the things that children do we will not talk about."
Soon, we're up to our eyeballs in kids as Jeffrey, or "Mr. Jeff" as he's known to the hotel's latchkey populace, makes a beeline for the "Kids Club." I can't quite figure Jeffrey out. To my mind, the words resort and children are antonyms, yet he seems to vacillate between Mary Poppins and Hedda Nussbaum. On the one hand, he breathlessly intones how "the children" up his hip factor, relaying a recent exchange: "Mr. Jeff, we don't high five anymore. We fist bump," but on the other hand he's prone to bitchy pronouncements like, "No, no! There will be no sippy cups here."
As Jeffrey details a 10,000-egg Easter hunt, I slip out of the glitter and glue strewn Kids Club and take in the strip of beach that's protected for the upcoming sea turtle season. I'm ready for the tour to proceed. If you're bringing children to a five star resort, frankly, that's your problem. Soon, Jeffery picks up the pace and brings us into the bowels of The Diplomat for a scene that's straight out of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

text: If youre wondering where John Frusciante went, you can rest that little mind of yours. The now former guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers returns with a new album, a new sound, and whats more, a new band. And while his solo work sadly strays under the radar (Does anyone remember last years The Empyrean? Pretty decent stuff.), this project should turn some heads.

Now we've made the same mistake. Its inexcusable that we busted on the entire '08 draft, despite picking at the top of every round and having 4 picks in the first 3 rounds. We had 4 picks in the first 3 rounds in '09 and busted on 3 of those 4 players, with Sean Smith walking out the door. We had 4 picks in the first 3 rounds this past year and one is already looking to be a bust. But hey, we have 5 picks in the first 3 rounds this year, that extra pick makes all the difference! We are on the way up!!1!
We are only as good as our front office is. For all hilarious defense of Ireland, i have never heard anyone suggest he will be a special general manager. The next Ron Wolf or Ozzie Newsome. Why have we given this many chances to a guy who's upside is "good"?
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 4
Are you guys still trying to convince people of something with no new evidence? like if you keep saying it then you will magically convince all of Finheaven that they have all been uniformed for 5 years? Yes, everyone should have listened to you because you have an unprecedented insight into a situation that nobody else could possibly have. You should pat yourself on the back and revel in how cool you were when you told everyone they were wrong on the internet.
Keep on fighting the good fight....
No one drafted in the past five years by this regime has been resigned. No one. With Sean Smith seemingly headed out the door and the odds on Hartline resigning perhaps even, perhaps less, it looks as though that streak (or **** stain, depending on how you look at it) might very well continue.
Letting players you've drafted to fill holes leave in free agency because they're not good enough to resign and then drafting new players to fill those same holes who you also don't resign is like trying to dig out of a hole by throwing the dirt up in the air and letting it fall back into the hole again.
It's a whole lot of going nowhere fast. You need to be able to draft and sign players worth resigning. That's the error. Because I can't get pissed off about not giving Smith or Hartline big money. They're not worth it. But dude, why did we end up with them in the first place? Draft better. And don't trade away the talented players you do draft (like Vontae).
I was once a normal kid
Till the Devil came down and flipped my lid
He gave me a switchblade and he gave me a muse
Then he vomited acid all over my shoes
Of that, Reshad Jones appears worth keeping. Maybe. Give it another year to make sure. Jimmy Wilson might make a good special teamer, which isn't bad for a murderer. But what about the rest?
Guys, the handwriting is on the wall. We know ireland and what he does.
1. He will sign whichever one of Wallace or jennings he can get more cheaply.
2. He wants no part of Cordarelle Patterson in any way, shape or form.
3. This team will draft NO WR before round 4 when he can get ryan swope.
4. He is determined to go cornfed with #12.
5. We will be 7-9 again.
ANY permutation of a WR corps that has hartline in it is a CHEAP, MEDIOCRE, SELLOUT, SURRENDER, FAIL of a WR corps that is allergic to excellence and refuses to be elite among the NFL's units. A Super Bowl-caliber WR corps does not have hartline-type players in it, who can't make plays and find the end zone.

Ryan Tannehill. Ah, what a relief. Life is good.
Agree with Clemons, pass on Hartline, to many receivers that are playmakers.....

1) Wake and Bush were not handed top teir contracts to play for us. Wake was paid next to nothing, Bush had his rookie contract restructered to have his single year salary split in half to be paid out over 2 seasons.
2) We signed Marshall to a 5 year deal, with his contract being the biggest ever for a wideout. We got 2 years out of it, had no long term success and lost multiple draft picks for it. I think its fair to call something a failure if it doesnt even reach the halfway point, not to mention the draft pick considerations. Thats not a successful trade, thats a rental.
And yes, yes, yes, i forgot, Ireland was on unpaid internship his first few years and twiddled his thumbs. Gotcha. Ireland will be a gold medalist at the Psychological Olympics, because his fanbase has the logic gymnastics down to perfection.

What impact would self-assembly products have on our economy? I.e. Production, spare parts, jobs,...
Speaking of a paradigm, this is definitely one! :)
If we would start building these self-assembly products, it would definitely mean that lots of spare parts wouldn't be needed, lots of technicians would lose there jobs, less logistic organization, etc,...
But where do you see this going?
I truly believe that this can work, although people would start losing their jobs, this would definitely create new opportunities, people instead of focussing them on technical aspects, could now focus themselves on other area's in their lives, e.g. ideas for the climate change...
Apr 7 2013: Our ability to innovate beyond the industrial model is well-underway--the service sector is huge in Western countries; automation of repetitive to complex tasks; the majority of students are being trained for thought, not hands-on industries etc.
But, I think it's problematic that we somehow refuse to let go of the industrial-era idea that everyone still needs to slave-away for most of their life at "jobs". If our time is being more and more liberated, things are getting safer and more convenient--then we need to innovate an economy that refocuses that extra time and health we have for: Things That Really Matter.
We ourselves are like products of a 4-D printer--ever shape-shifting to our technologies and environment--however, we can't seem to think beyond an isolated cool adaptation. What is our system-wide plan after something changes? Like if cancer could be treated by 4-D nano-molecules cutting off the food supply of cancerous cells--would we be sad that zillions of university research departments and drug companies have nothing to do? Ironically, cancer feeds these jobs--and people would be upset about it. In fact, I think a lot of master solutions/ products are actually suppressed because of this inability to move on.
We need to incentivize master solutions, and actively plan for industries' (not just products') obsolescence. Moreover, we need to develop a society that stops chasing after consumer-product economies and its jobs, and build a non-economics based existence.

Word. Buckminster Fuller said something along the same lines:
"We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living."
Apr 7 2013: Word! :)
Apr 11 2013: I am new and they censored me. I am a newby and am still learning the ropes.Apr 8 2013: ----I think it's problematic that we somehow refuse to let go of the industrial-era idea that everyone still needs to slave-away for most of their life at "jobs".----
and lets not get too erudite, people need manufacturing jobs, or are you happy to see the whole of the Philippine people suffer a technological induced genocide via starvation. Even now there are guards there with shotguns outside supermarkets...
Apr 9 2013: 1. I don't think anyone is suggesting an overnight change.
2. Anyway, manufacturing will leave the Philippines and South East Asia as it is with the rise of African labour. They need a plan anyhow. Plan for the obsolescence of industries--isn't that just inevitable?
3. Given its arable land and climate, I'd say any threat of starvation by the people of the Phillipines is directly tied to things like developed manufacturing. What policies have been rammed through to disconnect the proprietorship of the land from its people who depend on it? Isn't that more important to address? Arable land sold to private (manufacturing / mining) industries is the very cause of starvation.
4. Corruption, once thought to be impossible to conquer (and one could even argue that it helped usher through projects that helped certain economies that otherwise would have had nothing), could only end once everyone involved could agree to let it go. (A great talk by Peter Eigen, who actually led it among European countries).
The nasty fishing industry around Tanzania in Lake Victoria provides jobs, prostitution, arms smuggling and starvation. You're right that it is difficult to unpack all the damage / good of a decision to dismantle an industry--but a long-term goal of health and sustainability needs to win over, for a change.
Apr 9 2013: just a note for you Genevieve, I like in Africa, the 2 paragraph wont happen.
It's a long discussion of the differences of culture, work, environment, and many other things, but there is no way the companies involved will move here.
para 3. Is about debt, the IMF and World bank want repayments, ie the interest on the $30b that the marcos's got. They the people, the country are still paying that back. When 1/2 your countries gdp goes like this, then there are only two resources you have, labor and minerals. So arable land is sold to corp's to build factories to gain foreign $. And the earth is ravaged, deforestation, mainly teak, again for the same reason. And that's why when the floods twice recently hit se asia, there is no protection, you've deforested the protection.
So the question is globally are we going to take manufacturing away from them too? What are they going to do? There is no money for re-training, is everyone going to be consigned to...either starve or eak out what existence they can on Smokey Mountain.
Search for "smokey mountain philippines" ... the image maybe distressing.
But they better than the words I've given portray whats happening there.

Apr 9 2013: Let me also point out that the automation of manufacturing has been preceded by automation and mass production in agriculture. Like in the U. S. A.. You will be astonished that how much human labor was needed in agriculture grain and food production to feed millions of people in the U. S. A. nowadays. As a matter of fact, at this very minute in time, the advancement ( in the sense of manpower and material use efficiency in agriculture is far better than production in industrial consumer goods production. So you will see that the labor force for food production will go at least as fast as the manufacturing labors.

So starvation won't be the problem in the future.
Yes, we should try to transfer our daily time and effort to:
1. train people to learn how to take care of the increasing group of elderly, as well as the children. Even with ample availability of consumer goods and robots (robots are essential for the care of disabled elderly by the caretakers in order to reduce the arduous physical effort of their work), human care still needs some human touch, so that the children and elderly can feel a little empathy or warmth from another human being.
2. (we can afford to) develop skills in art, music, handicraft of artful values, and entertainment.
And 3. devote more time in education and literature, not only for our fellow man but also to leave our history and footprints to our future generation.Apr 9 2013: I think it's problematic that we somehow refuse to let go of the industrial-era idea that everyone still needs to slave-away for most of their life at "jobs".
The problem for 99% of the people here is the addiction to consuming. And that is what feeds the idea of needing a job, "making their living" in order to get something. We should find a way of stepping out of these routines and addictions. That will be the beginning of a new era. And as usual, change comes most of the time at a slow paste, but we have to plant these seeds right now. We can start doing so by just becoming aware of how addicted we are, and what the hell we are doing on this planet earth, start thinking again about our purpose in life,.. are we really happy consuming, working like slaves,... or is there something better deep inside of usApr 11 2013: Sorry lady, we all go into industrial obsolescence -- we all grow old. Do not despair. Grandchildren or young children are the silver lining of, well, silver hairlines. Corporate, Government, Non-for-Profit Organization, and Religion Bureaucracies are the dreary part of life -- you know man against the Corporation/State/Self-Perpetuating-Problem-Organization/Religion. I love my family and friends. And, of course k-9's.

Apr 11 2013: How about starting with some repair assembly first? How much energy/resources are wasted for products that have many years of useful life left if it were not for the failure of one part? In the USA it is difficult to find parts for imported products so the common solution is to throw that, otherwise useful, product in the trash and buy a new one. A simple way to get replacement parts for DIY people or local general repair technicians able to decipher a product manual would most likely have a major impact on landfills, resource management/conservation, and the economy in an environmentally positive way even with the lengthened lifespan of a product. How about a way to use a 3-D printer to make some of these common failure parts either at home or in a local general service center?

Apr 7 2013: Theoretically the easier it gets for us to produce goods, the easier it should be to access them, and so the less people should need to work for them. Whether the economic system we have will allow for that remains to be seen.

I would think that the logical eventuality is that manufacturing becomes such a simple automated process that anyone can do it in their own homes and won't have to work so much because they can provide most of what they need for themselves.
I foresee a return to cottage industry and artisanship. When manufacturing is automated the focus can return to design, and hand-crafted goods will remain valued for their uniqueness and humanity.
Apr 9 2013: That would be an amazing thing to happen! But I think we can't forget about the big players here (big companies) who will definitely claim rights,... then again the idea of cottage industry and artisanship sounds nice!Apr 5 2013: What about 3d printing? In the near future we will be able to create a lot of products from our homes, which could render a lot of industries useless. The amazing thing is that it could save a lot of energy, because assembling items at home would save fuel, energy and work.
Our civilization right now is still focused on factories. The industrial revolution changed life like few other movements did. Now, the technology that enabled produts to be created fast and cheap at factories has become so miniturized that a lot of things will be able to be created at our own homes. That is another kind of revolution. Industry quality items made by regular people at your desire.
Just like a lot of artisans, carpenters, maisons and tailors lost their jobs due to the industrial revolution, Im pretty sure many people will lose their jobs in the near future due to the technolgies we have been talking about. Nonetheless, there will be new jobs. Designers, technicians, software experts, maintenance workers will be much more required and will be the new workforce.
Apr 8 2013: The last paragraph, does not take into account and again I'll use the Philippines as an example, that 50% of all money goes to repay debt. Thats why they manufacture. Without that, it's not just job-losses it's starvation.
And with no money, and ever spiraling debt, that can't be afforded to repay, the only thing, which is happening how is the forest's ( the size of massachusetts) are being logged by the government to pay US Banks. How do you think that loss of forest will affect global warming?
And with no money, how will they pay for re-training? You cant afford it yourself if your working at a nike factory for a few dollars each day, so what happens? Starvation on a country wide scale?
You could say the same for India, Pakistan, China... and many other countries.
it's not about the cool-ness of the technology, too often people -only- see that, I do wish people would see it not just from their own perspective, but from a global standpoint, after all we only have one earth, and technology should be about how it can uplift us ALL.
Apr 9 2013: That is a radical idea and probabily reality wouldnt work that way.
I mean, are people in Philippines working like they are in the 19th century, when factories came around? I doubt it.
Im pretty sure most people in Philippines have adapted to technology, one way or another. Probabily most have cell phones, TVS, refrigerators and other pieces of technology. And there are people that work to make this technology works. Hell, maybe some of there people are actually producing advanced technology in their factories. Look at China and how they managed to create hundreds or thousands of factories that create technological products.
So, yes, even new technology eventualy gets distributed around and even not very privileged people eventualy get their hands on it.
And 3d printers will be very cheap eventualy. There is no way to deny it and it will be as important as regular paper printers. We dont recognize how important they are, but paper printers revolutionized society quite a bit.Apr 11 2013: View Race Against the Machines-TEDX Talk

I'm guessing you are referring to nano engineering? Yup it is going to change everything. It will make the computer revolution a footnote.
What is everyone going to do? Got me I would guess design and programming but it will work out.
I watched the video, that is some cool shit, and is no doubt the futureApr 9 2013: Michael, Lets go to step one. The factory instructions that come with your product. Since you have stated you work with Whirlpool you must be aware of the owners manuals .... Please explain why it is necessary to have either a service call center where you can discuss your problem with a tech .... and second why is it necessary to have factory authorized repairmen. If your owners and repair manuals were good you would need neither. No offense to your company all others are in the same boat .... tech writing is usuall some engineer who knows the process and fails to properly assess the target population. The manual tells the housewife to achieve technical feats and it is all Greek to her ... no offense to women men are in the same boat.
Do I really want to build my own TV ... no .. do I really want to order parts I do not need because I cannot properly analyze / troubleshoot the problem .. no.
Having stopped at step one ... why go on. I do not see this as a good thing for the average person.
I wish you well. Bob.
This could only work if the company saw any worth to produce a worthwhile manual for the average person to be able to read and follow.
If you doubt this wait until Christmas and buy a "needs assembly" present ... then you will understand.
Sales would go up because nothing would be repaired ... and frankly I would attemot it but if I found your repair manual of no value I would never buy your product again.
Apr 9 2013: I don't think directly the consumer should start constructing his TV, table,.. this could be done by a company in between that then distribute these things. To me the argument about our world of today where there are "complex things built in complex ways" is clear enough and makes you want to think about how things are being done today, let's say the time that is lost, all the waste and pollution that it brings with...
I agree with you on the manuals but then again, with self-assembly products they will be less needed, not to say not needed anymore. Definitely if there would exist companies that take care of these problems.Apr 8 2013: If these things can be transmuted into something practical, which I have yet to see, I do wonder what impact this will have on the economy, globally.
For some earning those few dollars a day by manufacturing (nike etc), is the only thing that keeps their families from starvation.
Or will we, as we have done in the past, ignore these marginalized peoples, and let them die, just as long as it's not show on the tv.
Apr 9 2013: I strongly believe that if we pay more attention to those people (economically and morally) and start giving them a proper education (voluntarily) and give them space to develop themselves, we could definitely get those people starting on more efficient working and get people create things that we have never seen before.
Too less attention is given to those countries, this should change drastically!Apr 7 2013: Under our current economic system,for most people, losing a job is not seen as an opportunity to focus on "other area's of their lives"; It is seen as a food,clothing and shelter crisis
Lewis Smart
Apr 8 2013: It could be that decentralised manufacturing technologies, as well as decentralisation of the knowledge required to operate and innovate those technologies, will bring the production of food, clothing, and shelter within the opportunities that become available to the unemployed.Apr 9 2013: Shawki Shawki, that is a powerful statement you make there!

.Apr 5 2013: This may not be related to the economy, but I'm seeing convenience and efficiency alongside more dependency and ignorance. If only there is a way to limit the application/use of this technology... Overuse or even misuse is often inevitable (like in the case of Internet). This technology will surely create an even further gap between producer and consumer, and even greater dependency on technological devices in the future generation. They will no longer naturally learn a lot of how-to-s from their environment and have to deliberately look for sources if they are interested.
Also, if there are malfunctions on the finished product or some missing parts, we can't just find any similar parts and fix them ourselves. I can't help but think of how quite a number of mac-book users have to get the whole computer to the store or even the manufacturer just to have certain parts fixed when we can take apart, fix ,and re-assemble other computers of other operating systems on our own. No more DIY products?
I'm not sure about what would happen in the long run and I may be biased, but I myself am quite hopeful of the development of the project. Speedier and safer fixing of many things is likely...

Aksel Lund Svindal pushed it to the limit to take his 25th World Cup career win in the Bormio Downhill. Svindal is the twelfth man in history to accomplish this feat and with it becomes the first man this season to win four races, further strengthening his lead in the race for the Overall.
The Bormio Downhill is one of the impressive downhills: It has large jumps; fast turns and is hard on the legs. After the race Svindal explained: "Bormio is a tough race. Usually it is decided on the last section; when everyone is tired you have to try and push that bit extra. The top part this year was bumpy and soft so it was quite hard to be precise in those conditions and Bormio is a slope that is as tough as the conditions make it. It might not be as spectacular as some of the January Classics but it can sure be as tough."
It was the last section where Svindal won the race. He had been in touch with Erik Guay, who lead in the finish, yet Svindal eked out every bit of speed in the run in to the finish from his HEAD's and crossed the line half a second ahead of Guay. Hannes Reichelt split the two, further benefitting Svindal in his race for the Downhill Globe.
So how does a man of Svindal's calibre rest between the World Cup races? Svindal plans to head south and go windsurfing! "I am going south to get some windsurfing done and relax on the beach for four days over New Year's. I want to have some fun before the World Cup continues in January. It's healthy for me to walk barefoot on the beach and relax a bit after being in the cold all the time."
Matthias Mayer (5th), Guillermo Fayed (7th=) and Silvano Varettoni (9th) all put in great performances to jump into the top ten. For Fayed, it was an enormous surprise for himself but with Sochi just around the corner, a very welcome result. Fayed was the only racer from outside the top thirty starters to make it into the top ten.
Svindal now leads the race for the Overall by 195 points and has a 93-point lead in the race for the Downhill Globe. Ted Ligety remains third in the Overall standings.
1. Aksel Lund Svindal (NOR) HEAD
2. Hannes Reichelt (AUT)
3. Erik Guay (CAN)
5. Matthias Mayer (AUT) HEAD
7. Guillermo Fayed (FRA) HEAD
9. Silvano Varettoni (ITA) HEAD
18. Johan Clarey (FRA) HEAD
29. Stephan Keppler (GER) HEAD

The Academy's blog which features what's happening with our students has been revamped. Check it out...
Here's another success story. Many of our students use the education they gained at our school to go on to major colleges and universities. We've had quite a few wind up at CalArts. They then turn out to be among the top students in their program.
Here's another student heading to CalArts. His name is Justin Noel. After completing Character Design 1 at the Academy, Justin returned to work on his Visual Development skills as he prepares to enter Cal Arts in the fall. Here's what he did last week in class.
Here's the dedicated article about him on the Academy's blog.

U.S. pot stores set to open on B.C.'s doorstep
Lower Mainland residents may not have to go far into the U.S. to partake of legal recreational marijuana that will be sold in retail stores in Washington State later this year.
No retail licenses have been issued yet, but there are three applicants in Blaine, one in Point Roberts and another further east of Sumas at Maple Falls on the Mount Baker Highway. (See interactive map above or here.)
They're among 15 applicants vying for seven Whatcom County pot store licences expected to be determined in July, in addition to six other retail store licences reserved for Bellingham, which are being sought by 27 firms.
The state this month released results of lotteries it conducted to determine the order in which it will consider applications in each area.
Ranked first in the Whatcom lottery was the proposed Maple Falls outlet, dubbed Green Stop, on the way up to Mount Baker.
Only one Blaine proposal was ranked in the top seven – guaranteeing it will at least be considered – while two others in Blaine at Birch Bay and the Point Roberts application are ranked lower, meaning they'll only have a shot if enough higher-ranked proposals are rejected.
They must pass multiple screening critieria and sites can't be within 1,000 feet of schools or parks.
The proposed weed outlets in easy striking distance of the border have names like People of the Medicine, Cascade Herb Company and Green Smoke Shop.
"I expect there will be some tourism," Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy said of Canadians heading south once the stores open.
Conroy is leading a legal challenge on behalf of medical marijuana users fighting Ottawa's shift to a new model of industrial producers while outlawing licensed home-growing.
He predicts Washington's move into legal sale of cannabis will help reduce drug-related crime in B.C.
Conroy believes the pending launch is already reducing demand in Washington for B.C. Bud even though legal pot isn't yet for sale there.
"I'm told the market is collapsing," Conroy said. "Illegal growers here are getting out of the business."
He said that reflects a decline in pot prices that he's been told have fallen from $1,500 to $2,000 per pound to as low as $900 a pound.
"The money isn't there for them and therefore they close down," Conroy said, predicting Washington's policy change will eliminate more illegal grow ops in B.C. than police.
"It seems to me to be a very good thing," he said. "It's not costing us manpower, money on prosecution or going through the courts."
Conroy also expects medical marijuana users will prevail in court against Health Canada – hundreds of additional challenges have been launched across the country – allowing them to continue to grow-their-own medicine and use it in whatever form they prefer, rather than be forced to buy just the dried leaves that new commercial producers will sell.
Marijuana reform advocate Dana Larsen agreed B.C. pot prices have fallen, although not as far as Conroy claims.
He said pot that used to go for $2,400 a pound is off at least 20 per cent to $1,800 to $2,000, but adds $900 would have to be "cheap outdoor stuff."
"Prices are definitely going down and in the last 18 months they've been going down a lot," he said. "The profit value per pound is much less for the same risk."
The U.S. market is the main reason, Larsen said, noting that although stores aren't yet open in Washington, they are in Colorado – which also legalized in a recent referendum – and there's increasingly easy access to medical marijuana in many other states, including California.
"Americans just don't want our pot so much," Larsen said. "They've got a thriving legal domestic market."
He said he's not aware of illegal B.C. growers shutting down, but said it wouldn't surprise him if that's happening, or that they're at least pursuing different markets in eastern Canada.
The price can only fall, Larsen figures, as cannabis access loosens in various jurisdictions, noting reformers are pursuing referenda in Alaska and other states.
"It's going to spread and the more it spreads, the less interest there is in Canadian pot."
How low could B.C. Bud go?
If marijuana was grown "as freely as tomatoes" with no prohibition, Larsen estimates it could be produced and sold for $1 a gram, even with 40 cents tax built in.
That would be big drop from the $4 to $8 per gram it now sells for in quasi-legal dispensaries like the one Larsen operates.
Washington's pot stores aren't expected to be bargain-priced.
The state expects they'll charge an average of $12 per gram, plus a 25 per cent excise tax that goes to the state.
Illegal marijuana grow-ops like this one may be in decline if pot prices continue to fall, some observers say. File
Border troubles await
While legal U.S. pot will be a draw for many British Columbians, lawyers like John Conroy expect a bumper crop of new clients who run into trouble at the border.
While possession by adults of up to an ounce of pot has been legalized by Washington State, it remains illegal under U.S. federal law.
"You have no right to take anything in and certainly no right to import it back into Canada," Conroy said.
Blaine immigration lawyer Len Saunders said Canadians can be banned from the U.S. even if they merely admit to ever having smoked marijuana in their life.
That's because the U.S. government deems pot use a "crime of moral turpitude" that's cause for being permanently denied entry.
"Telling them at the border you're going to be buying marijuana is not going to be very helpful," Saunders said.
He expects many Canadians coming for Washington weed will answer border agents' questions truthfully, lose access to the U.S. and then need to apply for a costly waiver to regain it.
"This is going to be a huge boom in business for U.S. attorneys," he predicted.
Medical marijuana users who think they can safely declare past pot use and not be found inadmissable are wrong, Saunders added.
"You may be legally prescribed marijuana by a B.C. doctor and you may even have a card that says that, but that does not help you at all at the border."

Alumni Trustees Host Winter Work Students
San Diego
On January 27th, Amy and John Malone '71 continued their annual tradition of inviting the Webb winter work students in the San Diego area to their home for an evening of good food, fellowship and relaxation.
The students were Mike Abbruscato '11, Michael Klein '11 and John Fleming '12 (all three working at General Dynamics NASSCO Engineering), Andy Lachtman '11 (at M Ship), and Matt Graham '14 (at the NASSCO shipyard). The students enjoyed some time in the hot tub between appetizers and dinner —and of course several of the students had to display their Webb toughness by diving into the unheated (57°) swimming pool … then making a hasty retreat back into the 99° spa.
Conversation in the hot tub and during dinner focused on that popular oxymoron, "life at Webb," and the students provided their unique perspectives on the Student Organization, the faculty, the administration and the marine industry.
Los Angeles
Three days later, on Sunday January 30th, Jay Carson '73 hosted three of the Webb students (Mike, John and Michael) on a day trip for a taste of Los Angeles architecture, art and music. Jay drove them to the J. Paul Getty Museum to view paintings and sculpture, as well as the impressive architecture and grounds of the Museum.
An interesting connection was finding the painting Princess Leonilla, by German painter Franz Xavier Winterhalter William Webb owned a later Winterhalter, Florinda, which he donated to the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
A short trip across town took them to the L.A. Music Center and a guided tour of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, with an impromptu lecture during organ rehearsal. Walking from the Concert Hall to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels, the group discovered that it does indeed rain in Southern California. After browsing the Cathedral, they attended a Jubilarian Mass celebrated by Cardinal Mahony and showcasing the Cathedral's fine acoustics, magnificent organ and choir. A good dinner at Kendall's Brasserie preceded their return to the Disney Concert Hall for a performance by the L.A. Master Chorale, featuring pieces by William Byrd, Judith Weir, Benjamin Brittan, and John Tavener, as well as English madrigals. It was a very full day, but well worth the short night's sleep before a work day!

QU was led by junior Alex Alba (Sylmar, Calif.) who went 3-for-4 and scored two runs, including the game-winner. With the victory, the Bobcats improve to 10-5 overall, while the Toreros drop to 11-11 on the year.
Senior Heather Schwartzburg (Mission Viejo, Calif.) improved her season record to 6-1 as she faced 27 San Diego batters. Schwartzburg allowed five hits and struck out two Toreros, while San Diego's Kaitlin Healy saw 6.1 innings, earning her second loss of the year. San Diego pitcher Jenny Lahitte also made an appearance against one QU batter.
San Diego recorded the game's first run in the bottom of the first when Diana Prelsnik scored from third base. Quinnipiac responded in the next inning to tie the game, 1-1. With two outs in the top of the second, Ashley Heiberger (Sioux Falls, S.D.) registered an unearned run when Bridget Figmic (Stratford, Conn.) reached first on a Toreros throwing error.
Alba led off the third inning with a double to left field. After senior Mina Duffy (Piedmont, Calif.) fouled out, Heiberger also doubled to left field, allowing Alba to cross home plate, giving QU a 2-1 advantage.
After two scoreless innings, the San Diego tied the game back up, 2-2. In the sixth, Lauren Tomey singled to left field, driving in Prelsnik from second base for the tying run. Quinnipiac wouldn't let up and took back its lead in the seventh as Duffy hit a double, driving in Alba from first for her second run of the night.
The Bobcats return to action when they compete at the San Diego Classic II on March 16-18. Quinnipiac kicks off tournament play against Cal. State Bakersfield on Friday, March 16 at 12 p.m. (EST).

Al Gore admits another lie
This is just incredible – from Fox News online:
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore reportedly has had a change of heart on ethanol, telling a conference on green energy in Europe that he only supported tax breaks for the alternative fuel to pander to farmers in his home state of Tennessee and the first-in-the-nation caucuses state of Iowa.
Speaking at a green energy business conference in Athens sponsored by Marfin Popular Bank, Gore said the lobbyists have wrongly kept alive the program he once touted.
"It is not a good policy to have these massive subsidies for first-generation ethanol," Reuters quoted Gore saying of the U.S. policy that is about to come up for congressional review. "First-generation ethanol I think was a mistake. The energy conversion ratios are at best very small.
No kidding. Everyone knew this. It's just that the conservative who knew it are philistines, and the leftists who are now admitting it are thoughtful and flexible.
Oh, but it gets better.
"One of the reasons I made that mistake is that I paid particular attention to the farmers in my home state of Tennessee, and I had a certain fondness for the farmers in the state of Iowa
because I was about to run for president," the wire service reported Gore saying.
I didn't know this, but now understand why my sodas are so expensive:
Ethanol production this year will reportedly consume 41 percent of the U.S. corn crop and 15 percent of the global corn crop. Last month, the Agriculture Department said corn crop production would fall this year and attributed the decline to the increase in the price of corn.
To be fair:
Reuters reported that Gore had less concern about second-generation ethanol production, which does not compete with food since it uses chemicals or enzymes to extract sugar from fiber in wood, waste or grass.
"I do think second and third generation that don't compete with food prices will play an increasing role, certainly with aviation fuels," Gore reportedly said.
Mark that under #too little too late.
And if you weren't mad enough already, this will send you over the edge. Turns out that Al was not only responsible for inventing the internet, but he was directly responsible for wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on ethanol:
The Media Research Center's Noel Sheppard noted that as vice president, Gore was the tie-breaking vote in 1994 when the Senate voted to authorize ethanol production. Sheppard said that those who question Gore's motives behind the climate change movement that landed the former vice president a Nobel prize and Oscar should also look to his comments on ethanol.
"So more than 10 years ago, Gore supported an expensive, 'not good policy' because he thought it would help him get elected president. Yet media don't believe he'd misrepresent the threat of manmade global warming in order to become extremely rich," Sheppard wrote Monday.
I couldn't have said it better myself.

Price is per blank. Multiple blanks shown to illustrate the variety that is possible.
Click here for photos comparing the various TruStone blanks.
Dimensions: 1.5 inches square by 1.75inches long
Description: White with shiny copper matrix.
Opacity: Extremely opaque. Tubes are not visible on even the thinnest walled kits.
Turnability: Easy, ok for less experienced turners.
Turning Notes: - I recommend carbide tools for the Medium and Hard TruStone blanks. The Woodchuck Pen Pro Carbide Tool that is available on this site is an excellent choice. HSS tools are OK on the Easy and Medium, but will need to be sharpened more frequently. - Go slow and allow these blanks to cool if too much heat builds up while drilling and turning. Too much heat can cause them to crack or shatter. Take shallow cuts and cut from the end of the blanks towards the center to avoid stress on the unsupported ends of the blanks.- If you are new to turning TruStone blanks I recommend trying the easy blanks first, and working up to themedium andhard blanks.- Finish as you would finish acrylic blanks (a CA finish is not needed). I sand through the micro-mesh grades, cleaning the blank with alcohol between grades, and then buff with ZAM to bring out the ultimate shine.- These are the pliable TruStone blanks, and while they have powdered stone in them the exact stone used is a trade secret. I highly doubt any semi-precious stone is used and the descriptions should not be taken to construe the presence of any specific mineral.
TruStone blanks make very impressive finished projects. The easy blanks are within the ability of most turners, and while the medium and hard blanks are more difficult to turn, you will be well rewarded for taking on the challenge of these blanks when you end up with a beautiful finished item.

You mean metabos don't have that nice heated housing and burnt plastic scented feature that activates after using it for a couple hours like the dewalts and most others? That's a shame. How do you prove you've been actually grinding ?

In a 6 inch the aspects of the particular models may be different. I am no stranger to burnt up Dewalt grinders, B&D before that. I liked the feel of them when I was using them a lot. They souped up the current numbers on them, put them in the same chassis and if you ran them like you were mad at it poof, pretty easy to overheat and a hundred bucks out the window and I know its tuff to swallow but would 2 or 3x rather have the cord that comes on the cheap version.
I have never overheated a Walmart one, its got good power. Pick one up sometime feel how heavy it is. I gave a couple away, I put one dedicated to the bench where the use was quite high just to see how long it would last, it finally gave out a switch after it outwear a Dewalt about 3 to 1. And after about 3secondsfs never give it second thought there is 100 difference in price.

6" is my favorite grinder too. I like the balance rat tails give, to me they don't tire the hands as much as a barrel grinders do, must be the rat tail handles are thinner making them more comfortable to hold.
We have over 350 Metalbo's at work. They are like the rest of them they wear out. I have been there just over a year and have had 5 new ones and a few rebuilts. But this shop requires every weld to be ground or wire brushed smooth and zero splatter anywhere so they take a beating, prob better than any other brand...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

Ana was recently interviewed by French arts magazine Technikart.
The following is a transcript of the question-and-answer session with Editor-In-Chief Charles Barachon:
What art piece would you like to own and why?
It would have to be Van Gogh's Cafe Terrace On The Place Du Forum. In a way it reminds me of socializing: spending relaxing nights with friends.
In which part of your house would you display it?
I would have to display it in the most-seen place: on a big wall by the entrance.
Did you ever visit Art Basel?
Unfortunately I haven't had the chance, because I am always playing a tournament during the time it is held. I am planning to visit New York soon for a vacation, and I will go to the Metropolitan and Guggenheim museums.
What is your strongest experience with an art piece or an exhibition?
I really like Peter Lik's photos. I especially like Tranquillity and I may buy a print for my bedroom. Another of my favourites is Santorini Terrace. I've been to his exhibition at the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas.

great food and even better the price ,they had large portions of delicious home made food, with prompt and polite service, the daily specials are excellent,i recommend to everyone.
Great place with exquisit food!!
Love this place!
check out HEART AND SOUL on saturday jan.31 Great band!
Service was good but the food was excellent, very happy with the experience and woukd come back again! Loved the appetizers. Musseld were great
Outstanding Sunday brunch at a very reasonable price.
My family and I are addicted to the great food, good service, and charming atmosphere. sitting outside has that "comfortable" feel. We've tried most dishes on the main menu and have enjoyed every one! Ate there again last Friday and they hit a homerun again!
food is disgusting, bar is more limited than your grand dad's liquor cabinet, and it is an obvious chain... BUT WHO CARES!
THE best restaurant in Tucson.
This place is under new management and is now a great place to visit. The owner and his wife are very friendly and make you feel right at home. The Mexican menue is typical, but the quality of the food is way above average. The pozole, which is available only a couple of days a week can't be surpassed. It has to be the best in the Tucson area and if you are lucky enough to be there when they have it, you're in for a real treat. The chef really knows how to cook terrific Mexican food that is fresh and delicious. The second time we went we had the enchaladas and the tamales and we were not the least bit disappointed. Everything was moist and flavorful and could'nt have been better. If you happen to be driving south on Nogales Highway, don't pass up the opportunity to enjoy this great family run bar and grill, or better yet, set it as your destination and plan a trip to eat there as soon as you can. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Absolutely phenomenal place to go hang out and eat a pie or two. (And this is coming from an East Coast transplant pizza snob) Love the italian pie, and the pepperoni pizza, while a generic choice, is the best pepperoni pizza I have ever eaten in AZ.
The beer is ice cold too, and they have sports on the flat screen.
Why wait for an hour to get into GG, when this place is right next store?
The servers are very attentive and the food is consistent and very good. It is a wonderful locally owned spot where we grab a quick meal once a week.
Best breakfast place in all of Tucson, great food best staff and amazing bacon!!!! Daily specials and great bang for your buck! Get there early! Love this place!!!!!!!
Their pizzas are fabulous, and you can also make a whole meal of their fun side dishes. The space is noisy and long, like a box car, which is fitting since while you eat the trains roll by (Maynards is at the railway station). Great patio scene as well.
Very busy little train depot! Place was packed and i sill got my beer quickly. Lagunitas IPA served iced cold mmmm.......Great place and great location
I am obsessed with the fresh blueberry muffins they sell in the market. With tons of sugar on top they are definitely the best in Tucson and definitely not from Costco. The soups are phenomenal, like the clam chowder I cant stop thinking about when I'm at work. I only wish they would sell it everyday but it changes all the time. Go and get some fresh sourdough too it amazing. Thumbs up to maynards for many delicious lunches!!
Absolutely awesome food and drinks. Best place in tucson and i don't care what these other people are talking about. Maybe they went when it just opened, but now it is incredible.
Boondocks does an excellent job of promoting a large diversity of live music. One of the best venues in Tucson for the many genres covers.
I think they finally got the stench of cigarette smoke out of there. It took a few years. Not bad bar. Acoustics OK. Lot of room. Also have gotten rid of most of the trouble makers from the old days of Neon Prophet. Kitchen has surprisingly good fare. All in all I think I have to give it 5 stars.
I own a little breakfast place myself but love to go here. This is one of those old americana style diners that unfortunately is a dying breed. If you go - come with the expectations of having a great old "diner experience" order the bacon, scrambled eggs, toast and hash browns while browsing the old vinyl record sleeves posted on the wall above the cooking area.
