Thats a mighty neat project, but I for one would be very leary of touching anything along these lines off. I'm hoping and assuming you know much more about the pressures generated and the potential for catastrophic failure than I do. I'd like to see it fire...from a distance, a pretty far distance at that.
I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that thing either, but it is still preety cool!When in doubt Weld It

Someone's lying...
That is really cool, but I looked at all the pics and even joined the GBC site so i could see the videos, and a found a lot of inconsistencies between your description and the pics and vids. First of all, there's only one shock in every video and every picture and that one shock seems to handle the recoil very well, which, by the way, seems very manageable, and not at all capable of snapping 3/4" hardened bolts after just a few shots, even without the muzzle brake (kudos on the muzzle brake though, it seems to be very effective). Second of all, you said that all the video was shot from a very long distance. If that were true, then there would be a delay in the sound getting to the camera after the cannon went off; no delay in any of the videos. In fact, in a few of the videos, the camera is moving around (not on a tripod) and with a high zoom lens, the movement would be highly amplified, and the camera man jumps quite a bit in a few of the vids. I'm not even going to mention the dumba$$es standing next to the water-filled cooler. Third of all, I looked at your Power Wagon post and somehow in the course of 4 and a half months, you went from an 18 year old high schooler in his third year of high school welding, to someone who's had several college chemistry courses and has been welding for ten years. Last of all (i think), i HAVE been a welder for quite a few years, and drill steel doesn't have diamonds in it; it would actually make it weaker under all but compressional stress, not to mention the pressures associated with accelerating a projectile as heavy as a golf ball to high velocities. A regular sized rifle with a light bullet generates up to 40,000 PSI (slightly more than a few thousand). Something as heavy as a golf ball with a proportional amount of relatively weak gun powder is capable of producing at least that. Metal with diamonds in it would also crack (if not explode) when welded due to the difference in thermal expansion rates between the steel and the diamonds. Also, Ive seen the pics, and in the close up of the muzzle brake, the barrel and brake (which is welded) are the exact same type of metal: mild steel (distinguishable by the scratches in the mill scale). One last thing, my brother is a sheriffs deputy, and I consulted him on the legality, and he said anything that uses solid propellant to launch a projectile is considered a firearm and is legal to HAVE (if registered), but a felony to manufacture without the proper federal license.
Just thought you should know you can't fool everyone.
Paint ball
You boys ever hear of paint ball guns? I think that would be a lot safer.
I'd suggest leaving this apparatus alone and taking up another hobby,,the odds are you'll live longer *LOL* Does your parents know what you boys are doing? I think it's great you can weld and want to build things and blow things up but why not wait till you get out of school and join the service..you might invent something that could save lives or maybe something that our solders could use to defend them selves. It scares me to see young kids messing with gun powder etc. without parent supervision/training.
Good luck guys as I feel you're going to need it!

just an FYI, unless it comes out JoePa knew has been lying, nobody in PA is going to go after him.
just an FYI, unless it comes out JoePa knew has been lying, nobody in PA is going to go after him.
Here's a link to a pdf copy of the grand jury testimony. This is very detailed and graphic.
Now a lot of people, myself included, are being critical of JoePa for being so trusting of his superiors/not taking matter into his own hands. With the info I know from reading things the last couple days, I do feel he should have done something else. But also in reading, he wasn't as inactive as people think. Other articles have pointed out how Tim Curley, Graham Spanier, and Gary Schultz had been trying to push JoePa out as PSU head coach back then (that's when Penn State was really struggling) and they haven't had the best relationship.
So while people want to jump on JoePa, there is more to the story
Ol' ******* Maurice Clarett.
He's right though.
"If Joe Paterno 10 yr old grandson was getting pounded out in the shower by Sandusky would the NCAA been the only ppl he told? #hellno"
Well this puts every other NCAA violation in perspective. Sickest thing I've ever heard. Penn St is done. Joe Pa's legacy gone. The old buzzard should just be grateful if he avoids the lowest circle of hell. People defending him revolt me. Legally covering your *** doesn't absolve you of the moral obligation to do something when some creep is *** raping little kids in your showers. Everyone aware of the scandal sound like gutless wretches not worth the oxygen they're stealing. They can never live it down and are damned by their inaction.
I don't think I've ever even seen a Nittany Lion to be honest.
Is that like the opposite of a cougar? I hooked up with a couple of cougars before.
Why would you want to cover up something as disgusting as this?
I'd have lit the dude on fire.
Someone tells JoePa, "Hey Slammbuttsky is raping kids on campus."
JoePa tells the AD and then JoePa sees Slammbuttsky back on campus at Ped State.
Really? Something didn't go off in your head that hey this isn't right. Slammbuttsky shouldn't ever be back on campus.

Looks clean
I wonder what BLAQ for bb10 handhelds will look like...
Love it or hate it -- Twitter is a big favorite of many BlackBerry users. I use it every day for one reason or another and I'm pretty excited to see how the native app for BlackBerry 10 shapes up at launch. Seen here are some screens that show off what looks to be a close to final version of the native Twitter app. It's nothing too fancy that we haven't seen before, but it does look like it has all the basics built in. We do know that there will be some pretty heavy integration in the BlackBerry Hub with Twitter as well as Facebook and LinkedIn. Check out some more images below and let us know what you think in the comments.
Looks clean
I wonder what BLAQ for bb10 handhelds will look like...
Just give me a phone already!!
It's funny, I remember reading a lot of the comments for the Tumbler app that's coming for BB10 and people were bitchin' that it was a 3rd. party app, blah blah. Sometimes 3rd. party apps are better aren't they?!!
Twitter themselves made this app and it's supposed to look a lot like it does on Android and iOS, so they are going for uniformity, so yeah, it looks meh.
That's why no one uses the stock Android app either. Interesting to see how the new Twitter token rules for new devs might impact development of 3rd party Twitter clients for BB10. I hear there is a Twitter client for iOS that sells for 19.99 because of this?
I could make these "screenshots" in about 5 minutes (all stock Cascades stuff, no styling what so ever)... I'm calling BS on them being real.
I didn't say it wasn't coming. I just don't think this is it.
Reading comprehension > you
I wonder if we'll see a native Windows Live Messenger app like the one that was on BlackBerry smartphones running OS 6 and OS 7 from Research In Motion.
Once the client goes, so will the 3rd party. Though it's true they will still work, most of their user's contacts will be gone. I myself use Trillian. However, all but a couple of my contacts use Messenger, that means that come march I won't have many people to talk to. (on msn...Trillain also works with skype)
Who cares. Give me a GREAT browser and GREAT keyboard and I'll be happy.
Were gonna have some good third party like twimbow, neatly, and blaq
There are many more pics on BerryReview, it looks very clean and well made app. Also there are pics of BB10 Google Talk app.
What about google docs? Will bb10 have an app for that? And google maps with friend locator? And gChat?
i just hope the device will be available for purchase the first week of February..... not March. Please RIM don't fuck up this time.

Milliamp Calibrator. Includes rubber boot and FREE NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration (Optional Carrying Case 020-0211).
Pocket Size mA Calibrator. Includes FREE NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration (Optional Carrying Case 020-0201).
Dual 4-20 And 10-50 mA Loop Calibrator. Includes leads, carrying case, AC Adaptor and FREE NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration with test data.
Signal Calibrators, also called Milliamp Calibrators, or Loop Calibrators, are used to calibrate and troubleshoot signal transmitters and loops. Milliamp calibrators usually come supplied with a built in DC Voltage calibration capability.
What is a signal transmitter?
Sensors such as pH meters, temperature probes, and positive displacement flowmeters output signals that cannot travel long distances and/or are susceptible to noise from other wiring cables in the same conduit. A loop powered transmitter is supplied power typically from a 24 volt DC power supply. It converts the analog measured signal to a 4-20 mA current signal. It uses the supplied voltage from the signal loop to power itself. A non-loop powered transmitter will be 3-wire or 4-wire, using the additional wires for power.
How does a mA signal translate to
an Engineering Unit?
Zero is represented by 4 mA and 20 mA represents full span or 100%, so 50% regardless of whether it is psig, °C, liters per minute, or another unit, would be 12 mA.
Here is a graphical representation for converting 4-20 mA signals.
An elevated zero of 4 mA is used because a zero mA signal is indistinguishable between a true zero and a broken connection. For short distances or laboratory applications, a voltage output such as 0-5 VDC or 0-10 VDC is common and less expensive than a 4-20 mA transmitter. Current signals handle long runs with much less interference than voltage signals.
Milliamp Calibrators (Loop Calibrators) are important for compensating for wiring runs
At the other end of the wiring run from the transmitter is an instrument such as a PLC (programmable logic controller), DCS (distributed control system), data logger, or controller. These devices actually will be measuring voltage so an external precision 250 ohm shunt resistor is installed across the terminals or built into the instrument. The instrument will be reading a voltage signal from 1 to 5 VDC. How? Look at ohms law, V = I x R, at 20 mA ==> 0.02 A x 250 ohms = 5.0 Volts.
Great, but what happens when you are using 200 feet of 20 gauge wire. Quick internet search and you will find a resistance of roughly 1 ohm per 100 feet, meaning the instrument will see 0.02 x 252 = 5.04, an increase of 0.8%. So now your brand new, NIST calibrated device is +0.8% in error before even installing it. Depending on your application, this could be significant. And it gets worse with longer runs and higher gauges. For 22 gauge, it is approximately 1.6 ohms/100 ft and 24 gauge is 2.6 ohms/100 ft. 20-24 gauge are typical wire gauges for process instrumentation.
Rather than taking estimates of the length of wire and loss in resistance, use a calibrator to quickly correct the error. These adjustments are often called 4-20 mA trim or current loop trim. Connect the milliamp calibrator in the source mode in place of the transmitter and source 20 mA and 4 mA to the instrument and setup the instrument to read properly 100% and 0%. Make sure to wait sufficient time to let the reading stabilize and/or set any instrument damping (sometimes called filter) to zero.
Source Only vs. Read/Source Calibrators and the Milliamp Process Clamp Meter
Source mA
The minimum function of a calibrator is to source a known thermocouple, RTD, mA, or voltage. That permits performing zero/span adjustments and loop calibrators compensate for wiring runs, as discussed above. In source mode, testing of conditions that otherwise would be difficult or unsafe is possible. Imagine testing a tank level situation. With a mA calibrator, it is safe to simulate a 90% full condition to test a high alarm warning and 95% to test the high high alarm. Another safety example is simulating a high pH mA signal to trigger shutdown of pumps sending water into the sewer.
"I think we have a bad valve…" Milliamp calibrators in source mode can also be used to test valve positioners (i.e. "Stroke" the valve). Send signals to open, close, or any other position while watching the valve stem position on a bench or in the field for troubleshooting.
Variable frequency drives (VFD) are used to power motors, blowers, and fans in process applications as well as in conveyor systems and machine tools. Control inputs are generally voltage (1 V to 5 V or 0 V to 10 V) or current (4 mA to 20 mA). A milliamp/voltage calibrator can source a signal for commissioning and troubleshooting.
Make sure the source feature has selectable zero/span, slow ramp, fast ramp, and step ramp. It is invaluable in simulating a process. One cannot be at two places at the same time. The calibrator can be on an up or down ramp while the results are being viewed at the controller.
Read mA
For troubleshooting problems, reading the signal coming from the sensor or a re-transmitted mA signal from a controller or recorder is necessary.
Milliamp Process Clamp, a cool tool!
It's bad enough that you are having problems with a mA instrumentation loop, but to also have to spend time disconnecting the transmitter and/or the back of the controller or recorder wastes more time. And of course the transmitter is 20 feet in the air or some other inaccessible place. Not to mention the possibility of stripping the head of the termination screws or incorrectly re-connecting the wires.
Traditionally clamp meters were unable to read accurately down at the mA level until FLUKE developed their line of milliamp process clamp meters. With the clamp meter you can clamp along the loop just like a traditional clamp meter and get accurate milliamp readings. Different versions are available depending on budget to read current only; read/source current; and read/source current and DC voltage.
K110 and K100
Very small and compact, this microprobe designed for accurate measurement of very low currents with 50µADC sensitivity.
Very small size and "clip" shape make it ideal for probing and measuring in tight wiring areas such as circuit boards, 4 to 20mA process loops or automotive electronic circuitry. An excellent companion to all DMMs and instruments that will benefit from the probe's high sensitivity, dynamic range and waveform displaying characteristics.
What is the difference between "Source" and "Simulate" in a milliamp calibrator?
Source will actually output a 4mA to 20mA signal based on the value selected. Simulate does not output anything but rather controls the current flow from an external source to be within 4mA to 20mA.
What are Linearity, Repeatability, and Hysteresis?
Linearity for process instrumentation is expressed as a percentage of the full scale of how far the instrument deviates from a best fit straight line (BSFL). For example, the average pressure transducer is 0.5% or 0.25% full scale accuracy. Sometimes the specification will state it as Linearity.
Repeatability is not accuracy, instead it is how much is the variation by the same instrument and conditions over multiple tests, expressed usually as percentage of full scale.
One definition of Hysteresis has to do with control systems and preventing "chatter" and not applicable for our accuracy discussion. Think of your furnace thermostat, as an example. It turns on when the ambient temperature falls below setpoint but stays on until a preset temperature above your setpoint and will not come back on until a preset temperature below your setpoint is reached. This prevents unnecessary cycling (i.e., "chatter") of the unit. There could be constant on/off action if the temperature is fluctuating from 69.9 to 70.1 °F, for example, and could wear out the furnace prematurely. This is different than the discussion of hysteresis with measurement accuracy.
From a measurement standpoint, Hysteresis is the effect of loading versus unloading across the range of the instrument. Temperature can also affect hysteresis. For example, a pressure transducer has a pressure applied from zero to 100 psig. Then the pressure is removed from 100 psig to zero.
How accurate is your pressure transducer, mass flowmeter, and other sensors subject to Hysteresis?
The graph above is for illustration purposes but indicates a an inherent hysteresis problem with pressure transducers and to a lesser extent thermal mass flowmeters. The Y-axis displayed pressure represents the pressure on the pressure transducer display, mA output signal, of HART signal value. The X-axis represents the applied input. ISA-37.1 Standard talks about for pressure transducer calibration to collect data at a minimum of 5-6 points of rising and falling pressure (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100%). Even with the collection of several points, it is still a best fit straight line. Across the whole range in the graph there are places where you will have better and worse accuracy. Manufacturers can play with the data too and still be correct in their specification. They can take multiple tests and average results. They can be selective in which points they measure and use regression analysis in determining the best fit straight line. End result is a 0.5% linearity generally speaking but at your specific measurement point and specific batch today at 2 PM, it can be considerably worse accuracy.
There are a few approaches to reducing your hysteresis error and error in general. Most processes operate at a fixed temperature, pressure flow, etc. or at least a narrow range. Being able to see a larger range might be needed to move the process to the desired value, but the key time is spent in a narrow range of a larger full scale. Keeping that in mind, consider the following:
When getting instruments NIST calibrated, get the data! Usually the factory or independent calibration laboratory will charge a small amount extra for the calibration data, but it is worth it. Remember to ask how many calibration points and which points are measured. If necessary, ask for more calibration points, usually a small adder in price. Now you can see where the errors are and compensate. Some controllers, PLC's, etc. will have a menu to include a linearization table, typically 16 or more points. At a minimum they might have a menu called bias or offset where you can enter a single point positive or negative offset. If your process runs at 100.0 psig for the main critical portion of your batch and you know you are off by -0.2 psig, if you cannot make the adjustment at the pressure transducer, look for an input bias/offset menu in the controller.
When requesting calibration of your sensors, supply desired points and get the data as mentioned above.
Get higher accuracy sensors. Also, keep in mind the difference between percent full scale and percent reading when selecting sensors. If you get a percent full scale instrument, make sure your operating range is in the top third of the instrument range.
Compensate for wiring runs with a loop calibrator.
DIY (Do It Yourself). Calibrate instruments in house. At TEquipment we carry Fluke Calibration and Techne, lines worth looking at.
Signal Calibrators, also called Milliamp Calibrators, or Loop Calibrators, are used to calibrate and troubleshoot signal transmitters and loops. Milliamp calibrators usually come supplied with a built in DC Voltage calibration capability.

Sitting side-by-side at the Saphire Cafe in Bethesda, Robin Ficker and his son Flynn Ficker seem anything but exhausted.
Yet since May, the father-son duo has spent nearly every spare moment trekking District 15, in heat and rain, knocking on doors as they campaign to represent the district in Annapolis.
District 15 covers the western portions of Montgomery County, from Potomac to Poolesville, including parts of Clarksburg.
Together, the Fickers say they have knocked on 20,000 doors and expect to knock on that many more before the Nov. 4, 2014, general election.
Robin, 70, and his son Flynn, 31, have formed a slate, Fickers for 15. Robin seeks to be a state senator; Flynn, a delegate.
The Fickers are running as Republicans, but campaigning with everyone in District 15 regardless of party, Robin said.
What drew the duo into the race was a feeling that the views of their diverse district were not being represented in Annapolis or among the Montgomery delegation, which has only Democrats.
State election figures from October 2012 show District 15 having about 44,000 Democrats and 23,000 Republicans, with 24,000 registered voters who are unaffiliated.
"Once people are in Annapolis, some even before that, the special interests grab hold, and their self-interests grab hold, and the viewpoint of the citizens isn't represented," Robin said. "When we knock on a door, we ask, 'What can we do for you in the legislature?'"
As they talk with voters, Flynn said, he and his father make an honest effort to listen to voter interests. And they take notes.
"It's the best grass-roots way to find out what voters really want, to get them involved and to create a healthy democracy," Flynn said.
Voters in the district are opposed to the transfer of teacher pensions from the state to the county, Robin said.
He said voters also oppose the partisan politics that led to the federal government shutdown; favor getting more of their tax dollars returned to the county; and favor strong education and job growth along the Interstate 270 corridor.
The Fickers also favor a vibrant education program and tax fairness.
"I think we want to show some defense against the onslaught of tax increases, to promote economic growth to increase jobs," Flynn added.
Politically, Robin said, the Fickers are more centrist, but "thrifty." Both favor raising the minimum wage. Neither is aligned with the tea party politics that shut down the federal government.
"Shutdown was a very bad idea; it should never have come to that. I've put 20 questions on the ballot that have gotten over 2 million votes," Robin said, referring to referendums he has initiated. "There's various ways to peacefully change government."
Both Robin, an attorney, and Flynn, an engineer, live on their 27-acre family farm in Boyds, where they have horses, dogs, sunflowers and fruit trees. Between the two, the Fickers hold six college and graduate degrees.
Robin is no stranger to politics. He represented District 15 in the House from 1978 to 1982. He has run for several state and federal positions.
He also has campaigned and put 20 questions on the ballot for voters to decide — most notably the 2008 question to cap Montgomery County property tax increases at the rate of inflation, which passed and many now know as the Ficker Amendment.
Unlike the Democratic candidates for the district, the Fickers are focused on November, not June, when party primaries will be held.
"We are running for the general election," Robin said.

Off the Beaten Path: Mount Snow offers plenty to do when the weather is warm
Mountain Mania By Kathleen Norton/Explore Mount Snow's name may conjure up images of ski lifts and tubing runs down frosty white hillsides, but don't let that fool you. When the ice melts at Mount Snow, it's clear why the Green Mountains got their name and why so many people come here for a summer getaway. […] [Read More]

For an increasing number of scholars, international migration has undergone a transformation particularly in the last decade or so. Although circular migration's impact on development is far from settled, a review of the current literature suggests increasing optimism about its developmental potential.
Previously confined to everyday conversations among migrants and their families, remittances are now on the minds of most governments, members of civil society, the international community, and, to some extent, the private sector. The continued deficiency in our understanding of some of the fundamental aspects of remittances is evident in current literature.
This report seeks to bring new light to the issues of migration by sea—particularly the interception and rescue of "boat people"—by synthesizing key discussion takeaways from an international forum of policymakers, international organizations, NGO representatives, and academics.
This volume finds that while emigration may be beneficial in some cases, unhindered high-skilled emigration, particularly in the case of sub-Saharan Africa, can have disastrous consequences. The author, Arno Tanner, recommends specific policies where carefully targeted development measures could be used to mitigate the negative consequences of brain drain.
This report looks at what, over time, has determined the various departmental or ministerial locations of migration policy decision-making in different states.
This policy brief provides a background to the conflict and humanitarian situation in Darfur. While the situation in Darfur may not fit the definition of genocide in the traditional sense, the brief makes the case that semantics should not interfere with the international community's obligation to protect civilians.

En español | Pizza is my family's favorite dish. We love it so much, we cohosted our younger daughter and son-in-law's rehearsal dinner at Pepe's Pizza in New Haven, Conn. After serving up enough pizza to stuff us all, the owners invited us back to the kitchen, where we took turns making our own. It was one of the highlights of that special weekend.
Use AARP Member Advantages to get discounts on pizza, coffee, movies and more
Now my older daughter is thinking about what kind of baby shower she'd like. No teacakes and finger sandwiches for her: She wants a coed party with a make-your-own pizza bar extravaganza.
When you enjoy pizza as often as we do, you have to get creative — starting with the crust. When there's time, I make it from scratch. As long as you've got a few hours to let the dough rise and a food processor, it only takes about five minutes to make the dough. For nights when homemade dough isn't possible, I keep balls of store-bought dough in the freezer (it thaws quickly in the microwave).
When we need the dough ready even sooner, I've developed a recipe for quick yeast-less flatbread dough (see below) made with bread flour, salt and a little oil and water. This dough can be made and rolled out even before the oven has had time to preheat.
Or, for a super-fast weeknight supper, I often pull out a couple of pocket-less pitas or naan bread from the freezer and make top-and-bake pizzas.
Right now our pizza toppings are shifting with the changing weather — from summer's bounty to fall's harvest. Last month we were topping pizzas with zucchini and peppers, eggplant and tomatoes. This month it's apples and onion, butternut squash and cabbage. We're adding a little fall pork, too.
These additions are just suggestions — feel free to mix and match toppings as you like. Caramelized onions would enhance any of these pizzas, while diced bacon would partner just as well with apple or butternut squash.
Flatbread Pizzas With Caramelized Onions, Apples and Cheddar
Makes 4 flatbread pizzas
- 1 cup bread flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup warm water, plus extra if necessary
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, halved and sliced thin
- 1/4 cup apple butter
- 1 apple, halved, cored and thinly sliced
- 4 ounces grated cheddar cheese (about 1 cup)
Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 500 degrees. Mix flour and salt in a food processor. Mix water and oil and pour over flour mixture; process to form a soft dough that when pressed comes together. If dough is too stiff (hard clay texture), process in another tablespoon of water; continue to process dough until well kneaded, about 15 seconds.
With floured hands, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut into quarters. Working with one quarter at a time, roll dough to an approximate 12- by-4-inch thin rectangle, coating with flour and turning as necessary to keep it from sticking.
Transfer to a large parchment- or silpat-lined rimless cookie sheet. (All 4 flatbreads should fit crosswise on the same sheet.)
Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Add onions and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until spotty brown. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until impressively and uniformly caramelized, about 10 minutes longer.
Spread each dough rectangle with a portion of apple butter. Arrange apple slices over apple butter, top with onions, and then sprinkle with cheese. Bake until crisp and golden brown. Remove from oven and serve.

"Great album!"
By Karen Anderson
Comments: My daughter wanted a cute frame to put photos of her and her boyfriend. She's still a teen so I didn't want anything that looked like a wedding album, and this one is perfect. The wood looks really neat engraved too.
"Sweethearts Photo Album"
By Alice Shepherd
Comments: My boyfriend and I celebrated our 1st year together. We did not want to be cheesy and over the top so we decided to get each other something simple yet romantic. I picked this photo album because its a wooden album! Ive never seen a wooden album and its somewhat masculine. The design is simple and cute. It looks great! The engraving looks good! I cant wait to give this to him !!

It consists of layers of Chocolate, foam, milk, and coffee. And with the right tools and proper techniques, they are very easy to make.
I have separated this instructables into several steps. Grinding Tamping and Pouring, Foaming, and Layering. Each step needs proper techniques and practice to do it successfully.
For this you will need:
Espresso Machine
Espresso Cups
Coffee Beans
Coffee Grinder
Chocolate Sauce
Cold Milk Frothing Pitcher
Glass Cup
Here's the finished product
Step 1: Grinding, Tamping, Pouring.
Ideally you would grind your coffee with a bur grinder, but those can be very expensive, and most people don't have access to one so I will teach you how to use a blade grinder.
Coffee is freshest immediately after it is ground. After grinding coffee beans, the oils that were protected inside the bean are exposed to the air which oxidizes and stales the coffee. This occurs immediately after coffee grinding so it is important to tamp and extract the espresso as quickly as possible. The coffee grinder should be ran for 15-20 seconds every time a shot is desired so that only freshly ground coffee is used, for this reason it is not recommended to use pre-ground.
When your tamping the goal is to make a pellet of coffee that the the hot water from the espresso machine will penetrate evenly. Since the water from the espresso machine is under pressure, the espresso pellet must be hard and evenly tamped. Once your done grinding, put the ground coffee into you filter, use 2.5 to 3 teaspoons for a double shot.
Put the filled coffee filter on a sturdy surface, and take your coffee tamper and place it on top of the coffee in the filter. It should fit snugly into the top of the filter. If the tamper is too small, the coffee around the edges of the filter wont be compressed, and the water will flow through the grounds there, losing its flavor. Press straight down, applying even, firm pressure. You should aim for about 30 pounds of pressure. Push down, twisting slightly in one direction and lift straight up. The surface of the coffee should be smooth with no crumbs. Brush away any crumbs of coffee from around the edge of the filter and place the filter onto your espresso machine.
As a general rule of thumb, the darker the roast the shorter the extraction time should be. For example, espresso uses a Dark roast, and therefore the extraction time is quite short. The ideal rate-of-pour for espresso has the consistency of syrup, About 25-30 seconds.
To preserve the flavor of your coffee beans, you must protect them from moisture, light, and above all, air
I just wanted to add that we all need to calm down about the differences in similarly named beverages.
whether right or wrong, iMac is correct in saying it is a Macchiato, and yall are correct in saying it's not.
Though it may be better if it were called by it's regional name: "Starbucks / Californian Macchiato" , or with the traditional beverage: an "Italian Macchiato."
btw, I like alessiof76: "mocaccino" kinda makes sense
The word "macchiato" means "marked" in Italian - the espresso is pulled and then "marked" with steamed milk.
iMac needs to look at the picture more closely - that cup is 3-4oz. His is probably around 14oz. If the beverage is over 4oz, it is not a macchiato.
Also, his machine is gorgeous! I love lever machines :) there's something almost romantic about pulling a shot that way.

However, I want to now separate admin and non-admin user.
It's proven to be a real pain, moreso compared to how unix-like OSs do it.
Pain points:
- Explorer (or TC) do not list file permissions. (!), at least that I could find. What's wrong with listing say -rwx------ like in unix? I really need a fast and visual way of looking at permissions. Quesion: do you know any software that displays permissions graphically?
- Changing permissions recursively sucks. You have to use cacls.exe, which is very limited. THere's setACL.exe, but it is also really ugly compared to chmod and chown. Question: how do you do this? Any tools? Having to right-click > properties > security is very long, and it's not recursive (!)
- Changing permissions is extremely slow. In unix, it rarely takes seconds, even for a huge tree. In windows, it's been minutes already for a not-so-big tree! Any reason for this madness?
- You are allowed to do crazy things like erradicate the administrators group. You read that right: you can make it so some user has full permissions on a file, but the admins don't. I have no idea how I managed to do this feat... and I fixed it now. But I'm really curious about what purpose this may fulfill
Not to mention that every action that requires admin privs will prompt for a passwd. So, in a normal day, you can easily type the admin passwd about seven billion orders of magnitude more than on unix.
All in alll... (quoting the penguins in "Madagascar" after arriving to antartica with a stolen transatlantic ship).
"Well... this sucks".
It makes me think I'm missing the proper tools.
It also makes me thing that when mom and pop have to deal with this, they will go crazy.
Is this the end of civilization as we know it?

INTERVIEW: Sustainability Advisor Lonny Grafman on the Waterpod
If you live in New York City, you may soon have the chance to check out the Waterpod, an incredible self-reliant eco-habitat, exhibition, and living space designed to showcase sustainable grassroots technology. The Waterpod just launched this Saturday, and it will now dock for public viewing at various locations in Manhattan's five boroughs. We had the chance to conduct an exclusive interview with Lonny Grafman, the project's sustainability advisor, about this floating model of self-sufficiency.
Inhabitat: How did you get involved in the Waterpod project?
Lonny: A colleague of mine at Appropedia called me at 11 PM one evening and said, "Hey, there's this project you really need to work on." He handed the phone to the Waterpod's visionary, Mary Mattingly, we hit it off, and started talking about the project. My official role is sustainability advisor, so I look at how systems integrate together. My role has also been to coordinate volunteers and fix problems, but there is also a lead designer and a lead builder.
Inhabitat: What technologies have you been working on?
Lonny: Physically, I've been working on everything. My students [at Humboldt State University's Environmental Resources Engineering Department designed 11 projects for the Waterpod, and we sent them out here to New York… including rainwater catchment and filtration systems, bicycle power, wind power, hydroponics, a composting toilet, and a chicken coop. We had 11 teams of three or four students each, and each team met with Waterpod workers at least once per week via Skype and email. They're sophomores in college, but this is still all sophomore-level stuff. Now that we're here at the barge, the projects are going through many different iterations, but some projects, like the bike power one, are ready to install.
Why is there a chicken coop on the Waterpod?
Lonny: Four or five chickens will be living on deck, eating food scraps, and providing eggs for food. We're also looking at ways to convert chicken waste into hydroponic solutions.

Wow Sacred,
Thanks for the kind comment. This project is a very community project. The artistic visionary Mary Mattingly and everyone involved has empowered others to help co-create the Waterpod… and that process is still going on!
June 17, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Projects like these give us hope and models for sustainability – which we need more now than ever-new ways of doing and being .
Lonny is awesome:- he is a visionary with the brains, heart and brawn to lead the way to a bright future.
Lonny-you rock!!
June 15, 2009 at 1:45 pm
I remember a while back, there was a theory that in a few decades, human beings start living in self sustaining pods so that we can adopt a larger population. The waterpod looks like the beginning of this new wave of modern living.
The interview seems to suggest that it will be built as ships, or part of a ship, that moves from port to port. So is this hinting that it could soon be integrated into even cruise ships?

This story was updated at 3:20 p.m. Jan. 22.
A man fatally shot himself in the Rockville area Friday after being pulled over for not wearing a seat belt, state police say.
The police investigation closed three lanes of traffic on Interstate 270 in Rockville for several hours Friday evening, slowing traffic all the way into Northern Virginia.
Just after 4 p.m. Friday, a state trooper traveling north on Interstate 270 south of Montrose Road stopped a driver in a 1997 Ford Focus for not wearing his seat belt, according to a statement from state police. The driver pulled over to the side of the road, but as the trooper exited his vehicle, he heard a gunshot, the statement said.
The trooper called for backup, and when the troopers approached the car, he found the driver unresponsive with what appeared to be a gunshot wound in his upper torso and a handgun near the center console of the car, the statement said. Emergency personnel arrived and pronounced the driver dead at the scene.
A statement from police identified the driver as Jermaine T. Jackson, 27, of the 100 block of Lazy Hollow Drive in Gaithersburg. His body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy, the statement said. The Maryland State Police homicide unit is investigating the incident.
State Police Sgt. Marc Black Sr. said police were not looking for Jackson specifically; the officer just pulled him over for not wearing a seat belt.
"It was a seat belt violation; that's all," he said.
Black said the investigation was ongoing as of Tuesday.

I made a quickie from one and it worked well enough I didn't get around to anything else for quite some time, it finally did go though.
Finding a discarded cart with functional wheels sounds like a challenge in it's self, let alone one you'd want to re-purpose.
One of the college kids I know put a fork tube on the back of a shopping cart and mated it to a bike frame. He said it's hard to control, but it's funny and gets him attention around campus.Syncrowave 250DX

North American Tapes 616 Black Adhesive Gaffers Tape is a vinyl-coated cloth tape with an aggressive natural rubber based adhesive which adheres well to a variety of surfaces. All components of NAT 616 Gaffers Tape are black (the vinyl coating, the cloth backing, and the adhesive) so the product is completely opaque and blends in on stage and set floors (white line edges are not visible on the tape like they are with most gaffers tapes). Its matte black finish minimizes reflection from lights on live stage and studio sets. Applications for the tape include: bundling and wrapping wires; holding wires in place to prevent tripping hazards; masking stage floors; and black-out masking on scenery panels or backstage areas. Its conformable backing also assists with application to irregular surfaces.
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Rush Kenya: The center of every child's dream
The Republic of Kenya is commonly known by its safaris, the Lake Victoria and famed by the dominance in long-distance athletics. However, a new component is growing in this East African country: the passion for soccer. Talent, motivation, and the support of Rush Soccer are the best ingredients for Rush Kenya.
The actual situation of the club is encouraging because the soccer organization of the African country is taking a good direction. Isaac Soita, Rush Kenya Technical Director, recognizes: "We have started seeing the situation getting better, but we still have financial constraints to run a continuous league." Therefore, Rush Kenya found another way to keep playing: "We are participating in holiday tournaments which are scheduled for April, August, and December," remarks Isaac Soita.
Rush soccer recently sent equipment and soccer balls to Rush Kenya with the aim of helping one of our family members and collaborate with them to be a reference in the Kenyan soccer. It's a long way, but they know exactly what they need: "First of all, we required equipment and soccer balls to develop our organization. We also need a solid structure and technical skills to create a sense of direction for the whole organization," admits the Rush Kenya Technical Director.
Rush Soccer sent the gear and soccer balls trough Carson Nature Center, an organization from Denver which was planning to visit Kenya at the end of September. Rush Soccer President, Tim Schulz asked them about the possibility of delivering the donated equipment during their trip and Tess Creger, one of the travelers, accepted the task. "Isaac Soita came to Nairobi to meet us and to hand off the donated Rush soccer balls and uniforms," says Philip Waltz, another traveler from Carson Nature Center. "It was great to meet Isaac and hear all of his accomplishments. All the activities that Rush Kenya has organized are huge positive opportunities for Kenyan youth," adds Waltz.
However, Rush Kenya hasn't distributed the soccer balls and equipment yet, because it could be a distraction for the Kenyan youth: "We couldn't distribute the uniforms and soccer balls, because currently most of our players are preparing for the end of the year examinations," admits Isaac Soita. "Once they are done with school, I'll show them the uniforms and the rest of the material in our next tournament, and I expect an immense excitement," informs the Rush Kenya Technical Director.
Rush Kenya is part of the Rush Family since 2010, time enough to establish solid aims to progress as a club. Isaac Soita reveals: "We want to be a stable club playing in 3rd division in Kenyan Leagues and establish a self-sustainable organization. In the future, Rush Kenya wishes to build a Rush Sports Center (Rush Sports Academy) where talents will be tapped, nurtured, and developed."
Rush Kenya dreams big, because it already is the center of every child's dream. With their potential and positive behavior, Rush Kenya will soon be the best team in the county, and the rest of Kenya at large.

Violence and trauma inflict profoundly negative effects on people's health and well-being. If we are going to achieve a Culture of Health throughout America, we must devote more of our attention to changing behavioral norms and community conditions to help stop the spread of violence before it starts.

text: I live in Indiana and was listening to a local radio station and the disc jocky was saying how well peyton manning played and how HE wanted indy to not give him up and then proceeded to say how bad andrew luck was and how he is a bust more or less. I always knew colts fans were the biggest band wagon riders there ever was but this just makes me sick. 10+ years of success with peyton winning 12-14 games a season and a superbowl and then to get lucky enough to get luck and lets be honest, he didn't do bad yesterday against a very tough defense, possibly the best defense in the league with chicago. Luck will succeed, and in a year the colts fans will forget all about peyton, it just irritates me to live here and have to listen to them whine about this kind of thing when dolphins fans have endured and will endure alot more pains before we can even compete for a playoff spot. Some people just don't know how lucky they are.

Wine is just a layer that runs windows programs under linux. Think of it as virtual machine running old XP programs on 7.
Install Wine 1.2 from your respective linux respository. You'll get Wine in applications menu or Other" menu. Once you install Wine you don't need to do anything. Just run the windows programs, if it is supported under wine, installation of that program will run (or if it is portable standalone app it will start without any issues). If it is not supported, you'll find nothing and there will be no linux crash either. (Note: in case of window based games running under wine, linux display may crash but nothing will be lost and in next reboot, everything is fine, unless ofcourse if you try to run the same buggy program again. ).
You don't have to run command line, git, adept ..nothing. Wine will run windows program just like you used to run it on windows. Same options, same GUI (okay there is change in window decoration -borders etc as per your linux DE) but that's it. You get your programs running inside linux.

We know the feeling: You've been busting it at your internship all day in a pencil skirt and heels, and once you're back at your dorm room, you want nothing more than to throw on sweats and collapse into your bed. Too bad there's studying to be done!
Just because you're holed up in your dorm room cramming for midterms (or, at least, that's what we're telling mom, right?) doesn't mean you have to lounge in oversized everything. We scoured high and low to find a few flattering lazy-day pieces that you can wear from your 9 a.m chem class to your 8 p.m. ice-cream social. After all, it's pretty hard for anyone — professors and potential suitors alike — to take you seriously with a label splashed across your bottom.

Saturday, September 22, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. -- Western Carolina sophomore running back Fred Boateng ran for 186 yards and two touchdowns as the Catamounts downed the East Tennessee State Buccaneers for the first time in Johnson City since 1991, 20-6 Saturday night from Memorial Center. The sophomore back powered the Catamount offense, gaining 186 yards on 33 carries. Boateng moved into 13th place on the WCU all-time rushing list in the fourth quarter. The Bucs opened up the scoring on their first drive of the game, capping a 14 play, 65 yard drive with a Con Chellis 31-yard field goal. Western Carolina answered right back with a field goal of their own, a Show Rowser 41-yard kick to tie the game with 4:47 remaining in the first stanza. Western Carolina would score 10 unanswered points, with a Rowser field goal of 40 yards with :10 remaining in the first half and a Boateng 11-yard run on the first drive of the second half. he Bucs would get back on the board as Chellis would kick another field goal of 32 yards with 10:49 remaining in the fourth quarter. But Boateng would come right back and finish the scoring with a five yard scamper with 5:00 remaining in the game to provide the final margin of victory. Matt Wilhjelm had a tough night under center for the Bucs, going 8-23 through the air with two interceptions. Brian Gaither led Western Carolina through the air with 86 yards on 6-13 passing. On the ground, the Bucs were led by sophomore Corey Carter's 31 yards on 10 carries. In addition to Boateng's 186 yards, Donnie Bryant also rushed for 68 yards on 11 carries for the Catamounts. Senior tight end Nick Hendrickson led the ETSU receivers with three receptions for 29 yards. The Catamounts were led by Michael Banks, who finished with six receptions for 70 yards. Another story of the game was the Catamount defense. The Catamounts allowed just 145 total yards to the Bucs and just 80 yards after the first drive of the game. Rod Dunlap led the Catamounts with seven tackles and Justin Fryer and Marquail Wells picked off Wilhjelm passes. Western Carolina also had six tackles for losses on the evening. The Buccaneer defense was led by linebacker Andrew Foerster who had 12 tackles and one pass breakup. The Buccaneer cornerbacks played well as Allen Davis had six tackles and an interception while Tony Tiller three tackles and his SoCon leading third interception. The Bucs return to action Saturday at 2 p.m. as they face SoCon rival Appalachian State from Boone, N.C. Western Carolina hosts Furman at 6 p.m. from Cullowhee, N.C.

Sebastian Vettel may have had the best car on the grid in 2013 but Felipe Massa says what he did with it was "amazing"...
Sebastian Vettel may have had the best car on the grid in 2013 but Felipe Massa says what he did with it was "amazing."
The Red Bull driver put in a dominant display in the second half of the Championship, winning every grand prix after the summer break.
That run took him to nine successive race wins, a new record, while bringing his total wins to 13 out of 19.
It also handed him his fourth Drivers' title with three races to spare.
But while some have put his success down to his RB9, Massa says Vettel deserves credit.
"It was down to his talent no doubt. He is an excellent driver who deserves everything he is winning," the Brazilian told TotalRace.
"Many people say he only wins because he has the best car but the work he did was amazing and, continuing with a competitive car, he can win more."
The soon-to-be Williams driver, though, refused to rank Vettel against the likes of Emerson Fittipaldi or Michael Schumacher as they arrived in the sport later than Vettel.
"The drivers start F1 earlier today. You cannot compare anyone today with Fittipaldi, Stewart nor with Schumacher, who also arrived in F1 older than Vettel.
"This reality increases the possibility of younger drivers conquering more titles than in the past."
