A Father's Music (Nach der Musik)
A bigamist father who spent years jetting back-and-forth between two families on opposite sides of the Iron Curtain (thus periodically estranging each wife and set of children) may sound like the foundational material for a politically-tinged network movie, but Otmar Suitner's life in fact bore far greater moral complexity and dimension than it reflected to outsiders. Born in Austria as a musical prodigy, Suitner established a formidable career as a maestro with the East Berlin State Opera and exhibited a core decency and stoicism that transcended his ethically shaky decision to suspend himself between two families before the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Realizing this, Otmar's son, Igor Heitzmann, assumed production of the documentary A Father's Music as a journey of personal discovery, to arrive at a more thorough understanding of his father's motivations and decisions with carefully reserved judgment. The film finds Igor achieving this goal by talking candidly and intimately with Otmar and each of his wives (who both profess love and fidelity to him, despite his bigamy). Most importantly, however, it also witnesses the son effectively convincing his father, who loves music more than life itself, to pick up the reins of a long-abandoned career and begin conducting once more.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Wow! there are a lot of posts for this topic, and not being one to be left out, I will add my opinion here also. Although the question is vague as to what the application is, I will attempt to cover all the bases.
First, the use filler material that closely matches the base metal is not intirely true, as there are many factors that dictate what filler material to choose. FAA AC43.13-1A, section 5, 4-74 (9), states "Use welding rod and electrodes that are compatible with the materials to be welded. Welding rods and electrodes for various applications have special properties suitable for the application intended". Which means that one must carefully choose the correct filler material for the application, and the intended service of the part/structure.
According to AWS A5.18, the recommended filler for most applications is ER70-S2. The reason for this is that, 4130 is a fairly brittle alloy. Using a more ductile alloy filler material, will of course be fused and "alloyed" with the parent metal, which inturn will allow the joint to be more ductile and reduce the tendancy for tearing and brittleness at the joint.
Second, the reason that NASCAR and other sanctioning bodies disallow 4130 in favor of 1020 mild steel, is that 4130 doesn't posses the desired properties for energy absorbtion. It's just too darn tough. The low carbon mild steels absorb impact energy far better as they are more ductile. Ironically, early Piper airframes like the J3 Cub, PA-18, PA-20, etc., were all built from 1020 mild steel. Probably not for energy absorbtion in a crash scenario, but probably because of cost factors.
I have always used ER70-S2 for all of my GTAW joints in both aircraft and racecars, and I have always had either the airframe, or the chassis heat treated, (normalized), for stress relief. If you can't have the entire structure heat treated in an oven in a controlled enviroment, than pre-heat, and post heats should be employed, as well as maintaining correct inter-pass tempatures for critical joints. Most joints in aircraft, and in racing cars, are small and are of thin walled tubing which will dissapate the heat quickly, and spread the induced stresses away from the joint. Field stress relieving will help reduce this built up joint stress, but for complete structures, an oven is best. AISI/SAE 4130 alloy manufactured to MIL-T-6736, is a normalized and annealed seamless tubing possesing a tensil strength of 90,000 psi. This is the desired alloy for aircraft and most race car rules that require 4130 structures.
Finally, you must determine what your specific application is and what performance you expect from it, before you can choose the best procedure and filler material for it. Also, Tubing joints, and flat sheet cert tests are not comparable criteria, (MIL-SPEC 1595A), for standard bend tests. Again, each application is different.
I hope this didn't confuse you any further.

80S-D2 for ChromeMoly
80S-D2 is a recognized alternative to 4130. It is even accepted by the vast majority of sanctioning bodies in the racing community. NASCAR, ARCA, NHRA, IHRA, SCCA ok the use of 80S-D2 as filler metal on ChromeMoly.

This is a little concerning to me since I have a car from the same builder. I don't know this guy nor do I have any connection to him.
Reading though this thread jogged my memory on this one and it seemed relevant to the topic. What do you guys think? Quality Control failure? Material failure? Wrong filler?
From the looks of it I would guess it to be a classic embrittlement failure both in the weld fillet and the HAZ. 99% of the time its caused by the welding process, or lack therof. Filler metal has NO INFLUENCE ON THE BASE METAL STRUCTURE IN THE HAZ, despite what the home depot welding book sez. The fillets look small and dainty, too small. Without knowing what filler was used, its only a guess as to if it caused the failures in the weld itself."Better Metalworking Through Research"

Just quickly looked at those pics, on my screen they look like
mig welds, can't really tell?
Gotta agree, I'd be worried about crashing that thing.
Not enough info to have a conclusion about the why, but
the bottom line final result is pretty ugly.
If it was my butt strapped in it I'd be looking at the cage and thinking
about some gussets. Pictures like that can mess with your confidence.

As for the 20% of earners paying 92% of taxes....I find this hard to believe, but even if it was true, you forgot to include what percentage of income the top 20% makes.

Mitt Romney is 100% correct when he says that income inequality is nothing more than financial envy from those who have less. That's very spot on. Poor people always complain that they have less than those of us who go out and EARN what we earn. No one ever handed me anything. I worked to get where I am. You poors should try it sometime. How many times do you see a superstar athlete get a big contract and some of you complain about how much he got. The rich don't pay enough taxes is laughable. I bet if you could see how much the rich pay in taxes each year and understood something beyond big numbers and small numbers you'd think a little differently about this issue. Why should I have to pay more because you don't work as hard.
."Obama 'Good-Paying' Jobs Claim At Odds With His Record
President Barack Obama made a strong case during Tuesday night's debate for how his administration would create "not just jobs," but "good-paying jobs." Obama said the jobs would be founded on the advanced manufacturing projects and education initiatives he would enact in a second term.
But Obama's record on high-paying jobs leaves much to be desired.
A recent study from the National Employment Law Project revealed that about 60 percent of the jobs created since the start of the Great Recession in 2008 were low-wage jobs. By comparison, most of the jobs lost during the same period were middle-wage jobs, the kind Obama was likely referring to when he spoke of "good-paying jobs
If Romney is elected President you can see a wipe out of the middle class in 4 years.

Ibrahim el-Houdaiby is exactly the sort of man the United States needs on its side these days. A 29-year-old graduate of the American University in Cairo, he is one of the firebrands who decamped to Tahrir Square, and he now opposes rule by both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian military. Houdaiby is an Islamist, not a Jeffersonian democrat. He believes passionately in sharia, or religious law, and the "totality of Islam" in governing the lives of believers like himself. In fact, he is Islamist royalty: His great-grandfather Hassan el-Houdaiby was once the brotherhood's supreme leader, and his grandfather held the same post. But last year, young el-Houdaiby left the brotherhood in protest. Now he preaches a new, open kind of Islamism—one that doesn't impose anything "against the will of the people."
Ibrahim el-Houdaiby, who is trying to keep the original spirit of the Arab Spring alive, is what Americans might call a "good Islamist." Consider, by contrast, Mokhtar Belmokhtar of Algeria. He, like Houdaiby, was a leader inspired and empowered by the political chaos of revolution. But Belmokhtar, 40, who may have died recently at the hands of Chadian troops, might be deemed a "bad Islamist." Nobody paid much attention to him until he organized a raid on a BP gas facility in January that resulted in the deaths of 37 hostages. He is part of the terrorist "Pandora's box" (Hillary Rodham Clinton's description) that opened up in North Africa, Syria, Yemen, and other places where the autocrats have been ousted. And he is more proof—joining the agitators who killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya, in Benghazi, on Sept. 11, 2012—that al-Qaida keeps generating new cells, like dragon's teeth.
The protesters who ousted or threatened Arab dictators in the past two years—their uprisings have been euphemized as a "Spring," like so many other democratic movements—have not produced governments that are channeling Western ideals of secular democracy. They are yielding, instead, to a new power elite who believe in some form of political Islam (a concept alien to the West), whether by vote or by force. Now the West will face new interlocutors there—reductively speaking: good Islamists and bad Islamists. And American strategists, until now, have done a very poor job of figuring out which are which, and what to do about them.
Shocked by the abruptness of the uprisings, the Obama administration has responded fitfully for two years, mostly improvising. First, it defended its old autocratic allies, such as Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and Yemen's Ali Saleh. Then it moved to championing the young secularists in the street, with visions of liberal democracy that now look as naive as the visions of the George W. Bush-era neoconservatives. More recently, after the election of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi in Egypt, the administration has lurched in yet another direction, embracing the Islamist president and the Brotherhood, even to the exclusion of secularists, says Michele Dunne of the Atlantic Council.
What Dunne and other experts would like to see instead is a steadier policy based on set principles—beginning with "tough love" for Morsi after his recent efforts to crush protest. "Washington's response to this crisis has largely been business as usual," Dunne and Robert Kagan wrote in The Washington Post recently. "Just as the United States once clung to Mubarak, the Obama administration has hewed closely to Morsi, offering a visit to Washington and continuing to deliver the annual $1.3 billion in military assistance, including a recent shipment of F-16 aircraft." In an interview, Dunne adds, "We always seem to be attaching ourselves to individual, small groups of people, ruling cliques." The better approach is to stand up for standards, principles, and a proper system of government—and try to make it stick by frankly tying U.S. economic support to democratic progress.
On the eve of Barack Obama's first trip to the region as a second-term president, this is not happening with any consistency. Instead, Obama appears to be approaching Morsi in much the same shallow, realpolitik way he once dealt with Mubarak—seeking to cultivate a friendly government-to-government alliance, paying lip service to democracy and human rights, but essentially leaving Egypt's internal chaos to sort itself out. In so doing, the United States may be sacrificing future natural allies among the secularists, and leaving important developments in the region to chance when it could influence them with smart policies. "You [in the U.S.] have supported … military rule, and now you are supporting a religious rule just because it serves your interests," Gameela Ismail, a spokeswoman for the main secular alternative to the Muslim Brotherhood, told The Wall Street Journal recently. In Turkey, Obama blithely looks the other way as President Recep Erdogan and his Islamist Justice and Development Party strong-arm the Turkish judiciary, says Reuel Marc Gerecht, a conservative expert in the Middle East and a former CIA analyst.

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
It's been a cold Saturday spent working on props.
Marmota Monax is coming along slowly. Though I don't plan on having his body be visible, he's gotten a sloppy clay covering over his torso. I've been experimenting with a new clay recipe and thought this was a safe opportunity to test it.
When you start a business, it's important to know your target audience and the positioning of the product you're selling (a basic decision of who it's for, what it does, and how to appeal to your target group). With this in mind, I think the folks over at Casket Furniture need to work on their selling angle. Or at the very least, reorganize their website. I get the feeling they didn't want to miss out on either crowd - people mourning a loss and people who look at coffins as entertainment.
For example, the second menu item on their website after 'Casket Furniture' is 'Casket Gaming' where you can find items like this Coffin Poker Table.
Are you now in a fun and fancy free mood? Totally on board with how coffins aren't just for funerals? Goooood! Because the third menu item is 'Casket Plans' where we switch gears from fun and games. Suddenly the messages take on a sombre tone to discuss how hard it is to lose a loved one, and the products aren't for fun, but for eternal peace.
Recently I posted a bone scan of myself I'd had taken a while ago. I'd remembered I had it because I was getting x-rays done. Turns out the x-rays were useless to the doctor, but they're a welcome addition to my growing collection (nice profile, don't you think?).
It's all rather fitting, since there's been a blogging frenzy this week covering an x-ray lamp made by Sture Pallarp (shown right), and I'm thinking of making my own sometime.
While I've seen 'how-to's online that get people to attach their x-rays to existing paper lampshades, I think I'll pick up a plastic shade made for DIY stained glass projects.
I'm sure most of us can remember a time in childhood when our parents nudged us out the door to play, even though something - be it the local bully or the crazy neighbour's dog that's always loose - was waiting for us. I can remember many a battle taking place at the local park. Though I will admit, I never had to fight zombies (not real ones, anyway).
This corner snapshot from Jason Chan's "Zombie Playground" sums up a metaphor of what it was like to battle those foes way back when.
Gives a whole new spin on "King of the Castle", doesn't it?
Ray Villafane is a professional artist and sculptor. He's done work for Sideshow Collectibles, Reflex Publications, DC Direct, McFarlane Toys, and Bowen Designs.
Apparently in his spare time, he'll carve a pumpkin or two.
I found these on a flickr account after reading a post by Ray's brother who was bragging (justly) about Ray's talent as a pumpkin carver. I did a little google detective work and found Ray's website.
To see all of the pumpkins and a 'how to' (ha ha ha...right), check out Ray's pumpkin page on his website.
While there are many things to legitimately fear in the world, I find that human beings have a tendency to heighten these fears to the point where we lose scope of what we should actually be afraid of; what the original source of fear was, and how to act in order to protect ourselves. If you lose sight of what the original source was, then any action you take to prevent it from happening again is fairly useless.
I just read a news story from last October about a town in Pennsylvania who, after 16 years, lifted a ban on trick or treating after dark. The ban was put in place in October of 1992, after an 11-year-old girl, Shauna Howe, was abducted and murdered by two men.
Death is tragic. Murder of children is devastating. The people who commit these acts are the source of fear, and have nothing to do with a holiday.
I decided to do a bit of digging on the original story, and what I found illustrates my point of displacing fear.
The girl wasn't taken on Halloween. She was actually attacked on October 27th, while walking home from a girl scout Halloween party. On her own.
Nothing terribly exciting to report today, but I thought I would mention a couple of extra bits of content on the site.
There is a simple article on black lights and materials that glow in the dark for those of you who know little about it.
I've finally started putting together a tutorial on different clays available/commonly used. I only have three written up so far, but will be adding to it in the coming weeks. Next material will be Celluclay.
I've been working on the website for far too long this weekend, so I'm off to work on the first prop of 2009. He's not very impressive yet, but I suppose I wouldn't be either if I didn't have a face.
You may have seen his work on the Cartoon Network or through Warner Brothers. If you haven't, come sit by me and get to know Wisconsin-born Aaron Blecha.
It's the editorial work he's done while living in London that caught my eye (for example, the images posted below).
While I enjoy animated shows, there's something that changes just beneath the surface of a cartoon when you take the same animation artist and apply their skill in a different medium for an older audience: the corners are a little darker; the characters are a little edgier; there is a commentary to the unspoken story.
Dubbax3 is the username behind the work over at Rotting Hills: Shea Halloween. He does beautiful sculptural art and some gruesome corpses, along with cuter looking creepers.
Besides having obvious talent, I think the reason his pieces are so wonderful is because of the attention to detail regardless of scale; you see it in his small sculptures and you see it in his large corpses/zombies. I especially like the look of the hands in the image below.
Stumbled across some wonderfully disturbing photographs of Halloween celebrators from the early 1900's. I've posted 3 of my favourites, but encourage you to browse the entire set.
There are additional images from the WIRED magazine article, where they interviewed the the man behind the collection:
...people back then were probably on a more intimate level with death — and that would have affected the way they celebrated Halloween...I am really fascinated by how these photographs of people dressed in primitive, homemade costumes and memorialized in faded, black-and-white photos often seem to have a real sinister aspect to them. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but to me Halloween a century ago looks much scarier than it does now in digitalized color
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

Riau Archipelago
Riau Archipelago
Riau Archipelago with Tanjung Pinang as the capital is blessed with a lot potential tourism objects, beautiful beaches and cultural attractions.
Its waters are the backyard of native seafaring nomads who fish and trade for a living. Their traditional wooden sailing craft,s called 'pinisi' still manage to pass the forested channels of these islands, along with other indigenous craft,s fishing vessels and cargo ships. Tanjung Pinang lies on the largest island of Bintan archipelago. Once known as Riau, it was the heart of an ancient Malay kingdom. Today, Bintan is the latest hot spot of development in Indonesia's surging economy.
A master plan is underway to turn it into a major tourist destination. Barely an hour away from Singapore by ferry, tourist accommodation begins to take advantage from its strategic location. It consists of Riau Archipelago, Natuna Islands and Anambas Archipelago. Originally part of Riau Province, Riau Archipelago was split off as a separate Province in July 2004 with Tanjung Pinang as its capital. Anambas Archipelago, located between mainland Malaysia and Borneo were attached to the new province. By population, the most important islands in this area are are Bintan, Batam and Karimun. Size wise, however, the sparsely populated Natuna Islands are larger.
Riau Archipelago with its thousands of island has plenty of scenic beaches and diving spots, among them Trikora on Bintan and Pasir Panjang on Rupat Island. The first is about 50 kilometers south of Tanjung Pinang on the eastern side of the island. Pasir Panjang, on the northern side of Rupat facing to Malacca Strait has natural beaches and they are also found on Terkulai and Soreh islands, about an hour's distance by boat from Tanjung Pinang. One of the most popular beaches is Nongsa on Batam Island. From here one can see the Singapore skyline.
Batam is one of the 3,000 islands, which make up the Riau Archipelago and is closest to Singapore, which is only 20 km away or twenty minutes by air-conditioned ferry. It has a rapid-growing population of around 100.000. As the island develops into a major industrial and tourist area, it attracts an ever-increasing population from other Indonesian islands who see Batam as a haven of opportunity. Once almost uninhabited, save for a few scattered fishing communities, Batam's history took a sharp turn beginning 1969, when it became support base for the State-owned 'Pertamina oil company' and its offshore oil exploration. In 1971 a presidential decree designated it as an industrial area and in 1975 the Batam Authority was formed. In 1978 Batam was established as a bonded area.
In addition to the oil support industries of Batu Ampar and a fast growing electronics industry, Batam now attracts increasing numbers of tourists. Many come from Singapore for a short holiday with friends and family, duty-free shopping and great seafood. The visitors to Singapore hope over for a day or weekend trip.
International standard hotels and numerous economy establishments cater to the expanding demand for accommodation. Business, as they say, is booming. An island two-thirds the size of Singapore, Batam progresses by leaps and bounds. Where virgin jungle once stood are now whole new towns, mosques, churches, temples and supermarkets, soon to be followed by reservoirs with enough water to supply a population of 800,000 and for industrial use, an airport-to become an international gateway ,a fine telecommunication system, well equipped industrial parks and the beginnings of a large new urban center.
From Sriwijaya era until the 16th century, Riau was a part of greater Malay kingdoms or sultanates, in the heart of what is often called the 'Malay World', which stretches from eastern Sumatra to Borneo. The Malay-related Orang Laut tribes inhabited the islands and formed the backbone of most Malay kingdoms from Sriwijaya to the Sultanate of Johor for the control of trade routes going through the straits. After the fall of Melaka in 1511, Riau islands became the center of political power of the mighty Sultanate of Johor or Johor - Riau, based on Bintan island, and were considered the center of Malay culture.
But history changed the fate of Riau as a political, cultural or economic center when European powers struggled to control the regional trade routes and took advantage of political weaknesses within the sultanate. Singapore Island, that had been for centuries part of the same greater Malay kingdoms and sultanates, and under direct control of Sultan of Johor, came under British control. The creation of a European-controlled territory in Johor-Riau heart natural boundaries broke the sultanate into two parts, destroying the cultural and political unity that had existed for centuries. The Anglo-Dutch treaty of 1824 consolidated this separation, with the British controlling all territories north of the Singapore Strait and Dutch controlling territories from Riau to Java.
After the European powers withdrew from the region, the new independent governments had to reorganize and find balance after inheriting 400 years of colonial boundaries. Before finding their current status, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Borneo territories struggled and even came into military conflict against each other, and Riau islands once again found themselves in the middle of regional struggle. But the once strong cultural unity of the region with Riau never returned, and the line drawn by the British in 1819 remained, this time marking the divide between three new countries as of 1965: Singapore, the Malaysian federation in the north and Indonesia in the south. These new countries, however, recreated unity in Riau world for the first time after 150 years with the creation of the Sijori Growth Triangle.
But while bringing back some economical wealth to Riau, the Sijori Growth Triangle somewhat broke the cultural unity within the islands. With Batam island receiving most of the industrial investments and dramatically developing into a regional industrial center, it attracted hundred of thousands of non-Malay Indonesian migrants, changing forever the demographic balance in the archipelago.
Today the name of Riau merely refers to this administrative region of Indonesia, a free trade zone heavily supported by Indonesian, Singaporean and international investments.
Riau Island can easily be reached by air or sea from Jakarta and Pekanbaru directly. Batam and Bintan have intrnational shiplines and flight. It is only 45 minutes away from Singapore by ferry.
People & Culture
Malay people who inhabit Riau Islands are renowned for their hospitality and warm welcome. However due to the economical and opportunity increases in certain islands, many people try to seek their fortune here thus creating Riau Islands as melting pot for various ethnic groups and races.
Renowned for its freshl ingredients and Malay-influenced cuisine, Riau Islands offer fabulous places to eat for sea food lovers.

A Leonardtown area woman was jailed Saturday on burglary and assault charges filed in court papers alleging she went into a man's home off Medley's Neck Road the night before and used a knife to repeatedly stab him in the leg.
A court commissioner ordered that Wendy Jo Wilcox, 37, be held in jail in lieu of $250,000 bond.
Police responding at about 9:15 p.m. Friday to the residence of Claude Richard Carpenter II found him bleeding heavily from the five wounds in his right leg, according to a statement of probable cause filed by St. Mary's sheriff's deputy Artina Manns.
Carpenter told police that he was lying in bed watching television, court papers state, when the suspect, who is known to him, came into his home through an unlocked door.
Witnesses told police that Wilcox said "I did what I had to do," as she left the residence and wiped the blade of the bloody knife on the grass outside, according to charging papers. Carpenter was treated at a hospital for his injuries.

3 cups
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons
baking soda
3/4 teaspoon
3/4 cup
butter, softened
2 cups
white sugar
1/2 cup
lemon juice
3/4 cup
plain yogurt
3 tablespoons
lemon zest
1/2 cup
poppy seeds
This is delicious! Very nice lemon flavor. I cut the butter down to a 1/2 Cup and increased the yogurt to 1 Cup, and it still came out moist. I've been looking for a good lemon poppy recipe, and this does it for me!
This cake wasn't burned but it was really dark when I took it out of the oven. I had made a couple of changes to the recipe (using only two eggs, losing the poppy seeds and adding more lemon zest) but I followed the cooking times and temperatures properly so I don't see how that could have made a difference.
Anyway, to remedy this I sliced off the burnt-ish outsides, turned the cakes upside down and covered the whole thing in a glaze of lemon juice, icing sugar and a little butter. The cake soaked up the glaze so the outsides had extra sweetness, the inside was moist and tasty and the cakes smelled great.
I saved one of the loafs in the fridge and had it a week later, it was just as good as when it was freshly cooked.
If you're thinking of making this cake, go for it! It's very tasty and light and despite the mishap I had with the burning, I enjoyed it very much.

Like other members, I also cut the butter down to half a cup and upped the yogurt to one cup. Though I baked this in two round cake tins. When they were cool, I spread a lemon glaze (1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, zest of one lemon, 3-4 tablespoons lemon juice and a little water) over the top of the bottom layer, put down the top layer and drizzled the remaining glaze. Great cake with tea!
Wonderfull recipe! I baked mine in a bundt pan and sifted some powdered sugar on top. My girls loved it!
Seriously delightful recipe! I made 12 jumbo muffins, and had plenty of batter. It bakes up really light and lemony, great texture, not heavy like pound cake. Moist, sweet, delish! It's a keeper!
I put 1/2 cup of margarine as opposed to 3/4 cup, and added a whole cup of yogurt instead. AND, it was mixed berry yogurt. Let me tell you...they were DELICIOUS. I will definitely be making this again.
The recipe turned out great but did not have enough lemon flavor. Since I omitted the zest because of personal preference, I added more lemon juice but obviously not enough. Instead of making 2 loaves I made 1 plus 12 muffins. I agree that there are way to many poppy seeds. Will definitely make again just fine tune it to my taste.
I tried out this recipe this morning- it took a while to prepare and put together, but 10 minutes after it was put in the oven the apartment smelled like lemon-cream. It was delicious!
Unlike many people that reviewed this recipe- I followed it to a T. I figure its better to try it, and then make adjustments that I see fit.
I DID notice that it took longer than the 50 minutes in the oven, the middle was still liquid-y when I checked it at 45min. I left it in for a bit over an hour, then was scared that the edges would be a little burnt.
We've enjoyed a slice already since then- it was beautiful. Im just hoping it doesnt dry out too quickly- if it does, dont worry- I'll let you know!!!!

Qualified child-care providers and child development students are eligible for reduced tuition and other financial assistance through UCR Extension's Early Childhood and Family Studies program.
Grants totaling $1.3 million from First 5 San Bernardino provide financial assistance for students living and working in San Bernardino County through the SBC-CONNECTIONS AND SBC-CARES programs.
Riverside County residents receive similar assistance from REFLECTIONS, funded by First 5 Riverside County and the Riverside County Child Care Consortium.
The grants provide support for students whether they are enrolled in courses at UCR Extension or at a local community college. However, courses through UCR Extension are offered in Spanish providing a unique opportunity for Spanish speaking residents to take advantage of the programs.
Margi Wild, director of child development grants for UCR Extension, said the grants are designed to boost the number of qualified child-care workers in the Inland area and to encourage those already working in the field to expand their knowledge and expertise. San Bernardino and Riverside counties rank among the lowest of California counties in terms of percentage of licensed child-care slots for children of working parents, according to the California Child Care Resource and Referral Network.
The SBC-CONNECTIONS grant offers $465,080 in tuition and textbook assistance, stipends, educational materials, training, mentoring and college credit for child development students and those pursuing child development permits. Students must live or work in San Bernardino County to be eligible.
The SBC-CARES grant provides $864,437 for stipends, mentoring and professional training to licensed child care providers and those who are exempt from licensing because they are family members or friends caring for children from one other family. Students must live and work in San Bernardino County.
Wild said students who meet certain criteria can qualify for a career incentive award, similar to an annual bonus, through the CARES program. Education and career support is provided throughout the year along with the annual bonus. Child care center workers receive $800 to $1,600 at the end of the year, depending upon the permit, degree and number of college units completed. Wild said about 9,000 individuals have received assistance through the two programs since October 2002. The $115,000 REFLECTIONS grant helps Riverside County residents earn permits that qualify them to teach in child development centers.
The grant covers tuition, textbooks, instructor costs and program materials for 575 courses annually, and 368 students have accessed these classes through UCR Extension, Wild said.

Teak – prized for its beautiful color and durability outdoors.
Through sun, wind, rain, and snow.Weather-resistant teak lasts season to season, year after year through all the elements. You never have to cover teak furniture like our Teak Claudia Bar, or move it to shelter at the first sign of stormy weather.

It is very confusing to have two private messengers. I have navigating the system for 2 weeks now and I still don't know which is which or how to access each of them.
Today I got an email saying that I had a message, and the email said to log in twice. After my first log-in, it said I had no messages. After my forum log-in, it said I had one new message.
Is it possible to assign two different names to them so newbies like me don't get so frustrated they want their money back for the Platinum 500 membership? I looked all over the site for written directions on how to use private messenger or a video and couldn't find one.
Also, there is a distracting plug-in from xvidupdate.com that shouldn't be at the bottom of my page. How do I disable it? Does this have something to do with cookies?

American Lung Association Appoints Harold P. Wimmer as President and CEO
(December 4, 2012)—
Chicago, IL – The American Lung Association announced today the appointment of Harold P. Wimmer as its President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Wimmer has served as the President and CEO of the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest, serving Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. He has led the fundraising, mission work, strategic planning and positioning of this leading voluntary public health organization in this region.
Mr. Wimmer began his career with the American Lung Association of Illinois, 34 years ago. Following the merger of the Illinois and Iowa Lung Associations, Mr. Wimmer served as their CEO for 15 years. He played a key role in the process to merge seven states into what is now the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest, which he has served as President and CEO since its creation.
In his tenure as CEO of the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest, Mr. Wimmer was able to deliver 88 percent of every dollar to programs and services, reaching more than two million people per year. His work in corporate and government partnership development resulted in increased revenue for the nationwide organization, and he provided the strategic leadership required to pass comprehensive smokefree laws in six of the seven Upper Midwest states.
Mr. Wimmer was also the driving force behind the creation of the American Lung Association Lung HelpLine, which is headquartered in Springfield Illinois, but serves the entire nation. The Helpline is staffed by registered nurses, registered respiratory therapists and tobacco cessation specialists who assist callers with lung health issues and tobacco cessation guidance.
"The American Lung Association is extremely pleased to have someone with Mr. Wimmer's depth of experience and skills in nonprofit management to lead our national organization," said Ross Lanzafame, Chairman of the American Lung Association National Board of Directors. "Mr. Wimmer's 34 years with the Lung Association, in a variety of leadership roles, along with his extensive public health background make him uniquely equipped to lead our historic organization into the future."
The selection of Mr. Wimmer was the result of a comprehensive, nationwide search for the most qualified nonprofit executive to lead the historic association's ongoing fight for air.
Mr. Wimmer will assume the role of President and CEO on February 1, 2013. Adrienne Glasgow, who has been serving as Interim EVP and Chief Operating Officer since July, 2012 will work closely with Mr. Wimmer to create a smooth transition and then return to the position of the American Lung Association's Chief Financial Officer.
Mr. Wimmer's complete bio is available at www.lung.org.
About the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest
Now in its second century, the American Lung Association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. With your generous support, the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest is "Fighting for Air" through research, education and advocacy. For more information about the American Lung Association, a holder of the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Guide Seal, or to support the work it does, call 1-800-LUNG-USA (1-800-586-4872) or visit www.LungUMorg.

Game: Balazar Brothers
This is a good game. The current version in the Ubuntu Repos (apt install) is 1.0rc1 The website for the game is seriously out of date (says version 0.3, circa 2006) I would like to know if this game will ever be completed. I played to levels: Fountain river and then Coqueliform. But at the end where it is supposed to go to Pompom Forest it just puts you back to the main menu and there is no continuing. I tried running the command "balazar_brothers --start-level pompon_forest" but that appears to be obsolete based on an old version and doesn't work - though it is still suggested by the command line --help. Does anyone know a way to get the Forest Level to run (or if it still exists) in the newest version? It's a great game once you get past the slightly unpolished game controls situation. Really fun puzzle. Is this game still being developed or has development moved (given than the official website is so far behind the working version in the repos) Thanks!
