3M reports sales growth on strong US dollar
11:03 AM MDT | April 25, 2013 | Lindsay Frost
A strong US dollar and sales growth in its healthcare and industrial segments led to modest first quarter gains for 3M, according to their earnings released today. Net income increased 1% year-on-year (YOY), to $1.13 billion with earnings per share reaching $1.61/share—down from analyst estimates of $1.65/share, as reported by Thomson Reuters (New York). The company reported first-quarter sales of $7.6 billion—up 2% YOY. "We achieved record first-quarter sales and solid operating margins in the face of a low-growth economic environment and the...

Born Free
Born Free is the heartwarming true story of a British couple who teach their pet lioness how to survive in the wilds of the African jungles. Joy and George Adamson (portrayed by real-life married couple Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers) involuntarily domesticate several lions while living in Kenya. They keep one, named Elsa, until she is fully grown, and rather than turn her over to a zoo, they decide to train her to live like a wild animal so that they can release her into her natural habitat. Geoffrey Keen is a sympathetic government official who convinces the Adamsons that they should set Elsa free to avoid being ordered to place her in captivity. The film, based on Joy Adamson's book, is poignant and emotional without ever becoming banal or overly sentimental. The title song and film score both won Academy Awards.~ Don Kaye, All Movie Guide

GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. (AFNS) — Sept. 17, 2012, marked the 225th anniversary of the signing of America's Constitution.
As federal employees, we commemorate that anniversary with Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. Specifically, this day was established to ensure all federal agency employees have the opportunity to learn more about America's great charter, the U.S. Constitution.
Why is it important for citizens to know and understand the Constitution?
Author Linda R. Monk, in her book, "The Words We Live By, Your Annotated Guide to the Constitution," believes many Americans think of the Constitution as words on paper, preserved under glass in Washington, D.C.
She contends the Constitution is also "an on-going conversation among Americans about the meaning of freedom in their daily lives."
But a piece of paper contains only words and ideas. It is through the actions of individuals and their interpretation of "liberty" that gives the Constitution its power. Monk succinctly states that the conversation about liberty is the struggle of all Americans since 1775 to be included in the ideals of "We the People."
Today, that conversation is still evolving, about capital punishment, voting rights, taxes, speech, religion, gun ownership, and all the other rights, assignments, and prohibitions outlined in the Constitution's seven Articles and 27 Amendments.
So, what do you know about your Constitution?
The Constitution established our system of government with its separation of powers between the federal branches of government (Articles I, II, and III) and the division of power between the federal government and the states (Article IV). Article IV also describes the rights accorded each citizen. As the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution trumps all other subordinate (state and local) laws (Article VI).
The framers of the Constitution knew when they drafted the document's original 4,543 words, it was not a perfect document. As such, Article V outlines how the Constitution can be changed through Amendments. According to Monk, more than 11,000 constitutional amendments have been introduced in Congress since 1789, with 33 of these receiving the necessary two-thirds vote and sent to the states for ratification.
However, the Constitution has only been amended 27 times. Remember, it took a promise of adding individual liberties, the Bill of Rights — the first 10 Amendments — to get nine of the 13 states to ratify the Constitution and usher in America's democratic form of government.
According to Monk, Justice Thurgood Marshall saw the defects of the Constitution and knew the document was "defective from the start, requiring several amendments, a civil war, and momentous social transformation to attain the system of constitutional government, and its respect for the individual freedoms and human rights, we hold as fundamental today."
Did you know that Article VI (the Supremacy Clause) requires all state and federal officials to swear an oath to uphold the Constitution? As federal employees, both military and civilian, we take an oath of office that requires us to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. But what does that oath really mean or require of us? Are we literally defending a piece of paper written 225 years ago? Or are we defending liberty as each of us defines it and protecting a way of life that the Constitution outlines "to secure the Blessings of Liberty?"
I believe the Constitution outlines what is possible in a democratic society. But it takes the entire populace to define the meaning of the words of the Constitution and, through cooperative agreement and action of the people, to put ideals in motion and practice.
In the end, supporting and defending the Constitution comes down to how you define freedom. Are you advocating for and defending the rights guaranteed by the Constitution: speech, religion, press, lawful assembly; or are you protecting a way of life that guarantees your access to education, security, employment, and basic services? Perhaps it's both of these concepts.
As public servants there are additional rules that limit how we engage in political discourse and civic affairs. However, none are so large as to eliminate or abridge our engagement in civic affairs and political discourse.
The last 225 years have not been without turmoil. Throughout this tumultuous period, many Americans had to fight to be included into this new form of government and to "secure the Blessings of Liberty." It is through those sacrifices that you and I enjoy the freedoms and liberties discussed above and we happily, and yes – sometimes wearily, defend in our jobs as public servants.
In closing, I mention Monk's final thought from her book: "To decide for ourselves what freedom is. That is the greatest gift that our Constitution gives us a way to decide, along with your fellow citizens, what words we live by."

The freshman senator from Florida had joined four veteran colleagues to unveil a proposal for the first major overhaul of immigration law in a quarter-century. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., introduced "my friend, Senator [Marco] Rubio, who obviously is a new but incredibly important voice in this whole issue of immigration reform."
Two weeks earlier, Rubio had laid out a similar set of principles in an exclusive interview with The Wall Street Journal under the headline, "Marco Rubio: Riding to the Immigration Rescue." The article came as a surprise to McCain and other members of the bipartisan group of senators who had been sketching out an immigration plan with and without Rubio for weeks. The blueprint was inspired by legislation that McCain first spearheaded in 2005.
The dig was subtle, but Rubio didn't let it go. "I am clearly new to this issue in terms of the Senate. I am not new in terms of my life," noted the Cuban-American senator from West Miami. "I live surrounded by immigrants. My neighbors are immigrants. My family is immigrants. Married into a family of immigrants."
The understated exchange between the two Republican lawmakers in late January reflects how Rubio has used his compelling biography to cast himself in a starring role in the immigration debate and, beyond that, the future of the GOP.
No matter that he's only punched up the old script, swung back and forth on immigration policy, and never shepherded major legislation through Congress. What Rubio brings is the star power, adoring fan base, and command of the national media unmatched these days by anyone in Washington outside of the Oval Office. It's the same aggressive product placement that has made the 41-year-old a top-tier presidential contender just two years after his swearing-in.
Rubio is the GOP's Barack Obama, minus the intellectual heft intimated by two Ivy League degrees and a law-school faculty post. A Generation X-er with a name that sounds like change. The author of an American Dream-laced memoir that, audiences are frequently reminded, helped pay off his student loans. A former state lawmaker and a Senate short-timer with a thin binder of achievements but perhaps blessed with the greatest rhetorical gifts in politics today. "[Rubio] is the best communicator since Ronald Reagan," Republican brass Karl Rove gushed recently on Fox News.
Like Obama, Rubio is increasingly viewed by his party as a transcendent figure who can build a winning coalition among a younger and increasingly diverse electorate—and, by the way, deliver the Republican response to the State of the Union in both English and Spanish. The buy-in speaks to Rubio's uncommon knack for politics and the desperation of a party dependent on a shrinking white vote. "Rubio has exactly what Obama had—a party that has lost two successive presidential elections and is searching for a savior in the face of serious demographic challenges," says Faith and Freedom Coalition Chairman Ralph Reed, a leading Christian conservative. "Whether Marco is the same elixir for the GOP is unknowable today."
Time magazine rendered a decision last week, declaring Rubio "The Republican Savior" in a cover story that capped off a geyser of overwhelmingly positive media coverage. But as the man seemingly charged with saving the Republican Party from itself, Rubio has offered startling little in terms of outlining bold policy ideas or crafting a modern version of conservatism. His talent, instead, seems to lie in sales, in an ability to pull hoary tropes such as "American Exceptionalism" off the shelf and make them sound new.
Whether it's the same old package of immigration reforms or the same old party platform, Rubio is the best gift-wrapper in the Republican Party. "We don't need to raise taxes. We need to create more taxpayers," he often says. Or, "The way to turn our economy around is not by making rich people poorer; it's by making poor people richer." Peel back the wordplay and it's the timeworn antitax pledge Republicans have been pushing since the mid-1980s. While Obama's victory has provoked hand-wringing about whether the GOP should abandon less popular positions and move toward the center, it's possible that all the party needs is a more effective and charismatic vessel for those ideas, a better pitchman.
Like failed presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann, Rubio is an anti-gay-marriage, climate-change-denying, fiscal-cliff-jumping military hawk. Yet, so far, he has deflected Democratic attacks that seek to tar him as another Republican extremist with a penchant for sounding totally reasonable and a national marketing campaign that promotes his softer, younger, hipper side. Some of the greatest hits have included a New York Times feature about his lifelong love for the Miami Dolphins; a GQ interview in which he discusses the nuances of East and West Coast rap; a wide-ranging Twitter feed that touches on politics, religion, family, and pop culture ("Cheering 4 & inspired by Lazaro Arbos from Naples, FL who made it to Hollywood on @AmericanIdol last night"); and, most recently, the Time story that leads off with his elderly mother in West Miami. She calls him "Tony."

You may be able to use a capo to raise the pitch a few semitones (but you can't lower the pitch), or you can count up or down as you play each chord (which is OK for one or two intervals). Otherwise, it can get complicated remembering different keys or all the sharps and flats.
Here is a quick, easy and cheap transposer to easily change the key of any song. You just decide which key you want to change from and to, then set the wheel so that the two keys line up- and you can instantly see every chord you need to change to. Full instructions for how to use it are in Step 7 (and also on the free PDF download with the wheel design from my website - see below).
Step 1: What You Need
- A4 cardboard (best) or thick paper. I got coloured card from a $2 shop, or you can get it in a craft or stationery store. If you're using thick paper, it's best to laminate it.
- paper fastener - the split type that you push through and open put. If you can't get one, you could try using a twist-tie.
- laminating pouch if you have access to a laminator; you could use contact plastic. If you have reasonably thick card, you don't need to laminate or cover it - you can easily make a new wheel when it gets tatty.
You can download a free PDF design from my website, www.cathyschords.com

Thanks, Tragicsnowfall!
For those interested, the chords for 'C' are;
C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, B°, and back to C. Every key has each note in it, whether sharp or flat, so you will always have "A, B, C, D, E, F, and G in some form or other.
Another very handy tool is the circle of fifths. You can look that up and find a bunch of them. I prefer the plainer ones, with minors in the middle. The circle goes along with standard notation, so the more keys to the right the more sharps you have, and the farther to the left the more flats. This way if you don't know standard notation you can still figure out what key you're in. It has plenty of other uses as well.
I have an old list of chords that I still use, arranged in keys so that it's easy to see the main chords and secondary chords in each key - but it's probably out of print but still copyright :(
It's Java, so it will work on just about anything. I've probably learned more from that little program than anything other guitar resource I've seen.
What am I remebering? I actually had grade two Royal Conservatory theory, but I am truly gapping. I do in reality deal with post traumatic stress, and there are holes in my memory-which is really frustrating. I picked up my guitar and can only remember two chords. I know that I am not comfortable using the tab system- I learned with diagrams of the strings and dots on frets. If I have too many questions, hit delete and we can pretend that I was never here ;0)
You've made my day by helping me. Hope you have an excellent day.
I remember going to a seminar once where they explained the history of music notation...was interesting at the time, but I don't remember why our Western musical scales are designed with odd intervals like that!
Well, if you're ever in Melbourne....
My method for guitar is: pick a couple of easy chords (D and E7 are good), practise them with a slow song (e.g. Rock My Soul), bash away with your right hand, sing along and have fun! Instant gratification, no sweat and tears (maybe a little blood if you play too long at first and use steel strings - ouch - need to let the fingertips harden gradually).
That's why my site is organised in levels, with simple chord diagrams on each song sheet (and large font for oldies like me)- you can start very easy and gradually pick up extra chords at your own pace, and you should be able to play some songs at each level as you go.
Some people are happy to only ever play the first few chords, and that's fine. Others get keen and go right through to bar chords. I haven't written those up yet - I think the basic stuff is what's most useful with my site. So keep picking up that guitar, check the chords you know on the simple chord chart and find some songs with those chords ( list of songs with chords at www.cathyschords.com/listofsongsforguitar).
Have fun, and let me know how you go. Remember, it's great therapy for you, and great if you have young kids around, too- they think you're SO clever;)
Suggestion re your range: some songs need a wider range than others, and it can be tricky to work out the best key to sing in. Our Friday Folkies group has male and female voices, so we tend to do a lot of songs in D (a bit high for me, and the guys would prefer Eb, so it's a compromise; some of the women prefer to sing higher, too).
This is where a capo is so great - you can try out a key, then if it's a bit low, try it with your capo on 1st, 2nd, 3rd fret.. you may be able to go higher if your neck isn't too wide.
Try singing a song like Rock My Soul, which has a narrow range and only 2 chords - start in the key of D (D, A7 chords). For my voice it's OK in D if I sing low, but if I try an octave higher, it's too much of a stretch. If neither works for you, try a capo, or even a different key - the A and D7 chords are easy to play. I'll often try a song in the key of C (or D), then in G, to get a quick idea of a good key for a song - then I can use a capo to bring it up a bit if needed.
Once you get an idea of your favourite key to sing in, you can try that one first for a new song, then use a capo, or transpose if needed. I do find that my voice changes from day to day, too;) Some of our group songs have 2, 3 or even 4 sets of chords written in, as we've tried out different keys at different times. One group member used to call these one "alphabet soup".
Singing along to songs is a bit of a trap- so often the recording artists have a great range (they are professionals, after all) and if it's a male voice, that can be hard, too. I like Peter, Paul & Mary and Simon & Garfunkel to sing along to as I can usually do one of the voices. John Denver is OK for me, too. Otherwise I have to turn up the volume to drown me out! Perhaps you can find a good "sing-along" artist for you - or just accompany yourself on guitar :)
In the key of D, the Dominant 7th chord that you would use would be A7.
The D7 (or A7 chord etc) is actually a "Dominant 7th" chord, which has the minor 7th added to the major chord/triad. The Dominant 7th chords are used frequently, and are commonly just referred to as "seventh" chords, which is a bit misleading... for guitar, I find it easier just to learn the main set of chords for each of the common keys;)
Hope this makes sense...
A thought about singing: If you want to sing along with a song that's not in your key and you used to sing descant, can you try some harmonies? Also remember that if you practise singing scales, you can maybe extend your range again?
I went looking for a good chord chart online- I have a really good one that I've had for over 40 years which shows the main chords in each key, the key signatures etc, really clearly laid out. I don't know if it's still in print, but it's probably still copyright, or I'd scan it, (I may still do that one day, just not sure of the legality - maybe OK for study purposes).
I found a similar chart that you can download- not a very clear scan, but a good layout- check it out at
If you're a visual learner like me, it may help you to get a good "overview" of the chords and keys - though if you want to get back into all that complex theory, good luck with that one- sounds too much like hard brain work for me;)
Hope you have fun - and keep playing and singing- even simple songs can be fun!
I tried playing your "father Charles.." notes, but they didn't sound like anything to me ;I
You could always make a larger version and write in the notes if you wanted:)

If you have programs where screenshot captor fails to successfully capture in autoscroll mode, post them here, maybe we can help add support for them.
autoscroll capture can be tricky sometimes so there are a number of exceptions that can be set in the options. an exception is of the form:
you can tell the WindowClassName because its shown in parentheses when you use redbox capture and select a window.
the margins can be used to exclude scrollbars.
the extras supported so far (we will probably need to add more) are:
[blankstop needs to be used on programs which overwrite our special marker because they do a custom draw in a weird way. ultraedit text editor window needs this. if during capture your window seems to keep trying to scrolling forever and never figures out when it hits the end, try this.
sendkeys is used for windows where the normal pageup and pagedown messages aren't handled. mozilla is an example of a program which needs this (but the exception is employed automatically in this case so you don't have to code an exception for this).]
and by all means if you figure out an exception setting for an app, post it for us to add.

Tribulation Study Matthew 24
A guest has asked for an interpretation of the Tribulation Bible verse in Matthew in the Gospel?
I've been travelling and there has been some comment discussion as I had already asked before I departed for travel, what others thought the verse means. Finally, I am getting to this. Thank you for your patience, I will annotate my answers in <> as I edit this original post. 'Abd'ul-Baha said there are 72 two meanings to every verse. This is what I believe the tribulation verses mean. I'll start with the verses, then explain them:
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." Matthew 24:29-31
Immediately after the tribulation <Tribulation is same as a test or oppression> Read the rest of this entry »

The family of Staff Sgt. Ken VanGiesen of Kane is trying to cope with the brave soldierŌĆÖs death, especially during this Christmas season.
A member of the Pennsylvania National Guard detachment based in Kane, VanGiesen-- because of his special skills-- was deployed with another unit in Afghanistan when he was killed in July.
To deepen the heartache of the loss, that unit returned to the U.S. just two weeks ago.
The soldier's parents are Tom and Sue VanGiesen of 137 Lincoln St., Kane.
KANE - In just three days, excited Kane area children will be waking up Christmas morning in their homes to see what wonderful gifts Santa Claus has delivered this year.
Three young Kane boys at this point don't have a home and may be waking up Christmas morning in a motel room.
A fire Thursday night forced the boys and their guardians to flee the house they rented at 629 Park Ave., Kane. They've been staying at local motels ever since. Unless the family finds a new house to rent in the near future, it appears Santa will be dropping off Christmas gifts at their motel.

Kane boys from grades 1-3 that attended the Kane Little Wolves Basketball Camp entertained the crowd during halftime of Wednesday's junior varsity game. The players showed off their skills learned at the camp, including the proper defense stance.
The Kane Lady Wolves opened the game on a 7-0 run and wouldn't look back in a 60-24 win over Ridgway Wednesday night at Ridgway Area High School.
"They kept their focus, that's what I ask of them," Kane coach Dave Kiehl said. "They just keep working hard. We just take it one game at a time and go from there."
The visiting Ridgway Elkers trailed the Kane Wolves boys' basketball team 9-8 going into the locker room at halftime. Whatever the Elker coaching staff said during the break must have sunk in, because Ridgway came out and outscored the home team 21-10 during the next eight minutes on their way to posting a 42-24 win in the Wolves' Den on Wednesday night.
The year 2013 started out very slowly for this nature photographer, as it usually does. The January cold and snow keeping me indoors, or shoveling snow most of the time, as the cabin fever was about to set in for another long and cold winter season. Then, the first call of the year came in, telling me of evening grosbeaks being seen in the area. I always wanted a picture of the elusive yellow bird from the North, but in recent years they had not been plentiful in our area.
Kane Area High School senior Nick Anderson cleared 14'7" in the pole vault this past Saturday at an indoor track and field meet held at Youngstown State University. In doing so, he is currently listed as having the second highest vault in Pennsylvania, according to the Pennsylvania Track and Field Coaches Association. The organization lists the top vault in the state as being 14' 9".
The Kane Lady Wolves evened their record to 8-8 with a hard-fought 52-48 win over the Johnsonburg Ramettes on Monday night in the Wolves' Den. Three of the Lady Wolves' eight wins have come against their Elk County neighbors. While the home team jumped out to an early 16-7 lead after one quarter, the Ramettes warmed up and played the Lady Wolves hard down to the wire.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Rams (16-3) had three players in double figures Monday night in a 74-38 win over the visiting Kane Wolves (5-11).
Seniors Cameron Grumley and Cole Peterson stood head and shoulders above the rest with 26 and 22 points, respectively, following by teammate Zane Hodgdon with 14 points.
The Wolves were led by Jeff Kocjancic with 14 points and Kevin Cleer with 11.
For the second straight week, the Kane Wolves' wrestling team finished a large tournament as runner-up. This past weekend, the Wolves crossed the border into New York State to take part in the 16 team Salamanca Tournament. Coach Mike Swartwood's team took second with 199.5 team points, a mere one point behind Falconer. The Wolves coach said of the winning team, "Falconer had some tough kids, I was impressed with their program."
On a night when the Kane Wolves remembered the greatest game in Kane boys' basketball history, the 2014 Wolves came through with a hard-fought 56-50 win over the Sheffield Wolverines. The Wolves hosted their backyard rivals from Warren County after honoring the 1949 Kane Wolves that won the Pennsylvania Class B State Championship.
The Kane Wolves wrestling team will take part in the Salamanca Tournament this Friday and Saturday. The team, pictured here after placing second at last weekend's North East Tournament, is now 10-1 on the season after Tuesday's 75-0 win at Bradford.

I know I need to keep the disks clean on my bike, but if I've got them covered in grease, what should I clean them with?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Bicycles Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who build and repair bicycles, people who train cycling, or commute on bicycles. It's 100% free, no registration required.
the pads are likely trash, but you can use isopropyl alcohol to clean the disk rotors (say, to remove grease BEFORE it gets into the pads).
I've heard that boiling the disk brake pads in water can help remove the oil from them if they've become contaminated. It wouldn't be the first thing I'd try, but if you're trying to restore an otherwise trashed pair of pads, it might be worth a go.

I've been helping a friend out on his sailboat projects. The most recent aspect has been in fabricating new railings. I basically try to point him in the right direction, purchase tools on his dime, and try to get him to take his time so he doesn't booger up all of his expensive material. He has been learning that when dealing with compound bends and tube notching, small mistakes in calculations equate to large discrepancies in the final product.
We did the bends (by hand) on my Hossfeld #2, and we coped the joints with a JMR notcher (see post under "tube notchers" in the Motorsports section). He made some templates, we hit most of the marks , and I tacked them together so he could check them back on the boat before final welding.
All the material is 1.25 x .083 316 stainless steel tubing. It has a very substantial look and he is not concerned about the extra weight compared to the old railings. Gonna look great!
1) JMR notcher
2) 1.25 tubing die
3) tacked up
4) tacked up
Thanks for looking.

Looks nice
how may hole saws did it take to cope the 8 joints, even on the .065 I have used it trashes the hole saw teeth the cope joints are pretty good but not great. how'ed yours go with the .083 wall ??

don't overheat it
Well, technically two. I noticed that the first saw had an unacceptable amount of runout when we spun it before we started. So we picked up another from a different manufacturer. I don't recall the make of either offhand.
We coped some pretty steep joints, too, but you have to take your time. I let my buddy do the drilling, but kept reminding him to let the material and blade cool. Once it gets too hot, you're "toast", as they say.
This also goes for drill bits when drilling holes. You can really stretch a bit a long ways when you start with a sharp bit, use some lubrication , and the right RPM. Once a bit goes dull and you start to struggle, go to a new bit or sharpen the old.
An old machinist always told me, "Speed + feed." (RPM + feed rate into the material).Maxstar 200DX

Right you are, a friend turned me on to using wax as a cutting lube.
It seems when feeding in the saw as the teeth start to cut they have a tendancy to chip.

What kind of hole-saw are you using? Bi-metal, I 'm sure.
The source where I purchased the notcher from offered these cutters,
but I didn't take the bait.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone on the forum has tried them.
To be honest, I've had equal results with cheap Chinese drill bits and with expensive USA bits. Both will dull if used improperly... and both sharpen in a pinch. I realize the "good" bits will hold an edge longer overall and have a tighter tolerance, but I'm usually making furniture, not spacecraft.Maxstar 200DX

Been using Milwaukee bi-metal but to be honest my run in speed may be part of the problem. It's been a while since I notched any s/s tube and I don't remember what the exact problem was but the teeth seemed to have a hard time making a clean cut and maybee I tried to go too fast.
I think 1 inch .065 tubing I have used is just not very forgiving and a hole saw is not a great way to cope joints. With the thin edges, burn through or just keeping a very small and even bead profile is challanging (and it is boat railing so looks are important)
Again Nice job on your project the 1.25 tube looks much nicer on a boat in my opinion.
Nice looking railings, I hope we get to pictures of them installed!
We us Husky brand hole saws at work with pretty good results. Most of our cutting is aluminum so not as tough as stainless, But as Chris mentioned it's a combination of RPM, feed speed and lubrication that ultimately decide bit life.at home:

i've been using blu-mol hole saws and sawzall blades for the last 12 years and am very satisfied with them. i haven't replaced a hole saw in a long time. like you guys said- feed and speed. for thick material, slow speed and heavy pressure with some kind of coolant (even water!) for thin tubing i like high speed and a very slow feed to avoid chipping teeth.Dynasty 200 DX

Those are some nice looking railings... As for hole saws, I've had the best luck with "lenox" brand picked up at my local welding store. Everything i've bought from ACE or Home Depot had broken on me by the 2nd use. I just tried Blu-mol drill bits the other day for drilling the million little holes in some 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/16th thick SS square stock for a grill burner i'm making for a guy.. Eventually had to go to the "nut and bolts store" and they had some weird name bits, but they were cobalt and that's supposed to be the strongest..put it this way.. I broke 12 bits, 8 of them were the TI-Ni coated HSS and 4 of them being blu-mol bits..Even the blue mol would dull up after 2 holes or so...These cobalt bits have drilled about 180-some of the 288 holes in each unit (cobalt has gone through 2 bits (broke one) it took the other 12 bits to do the other 100 holesDynasty 200DX

This was the second attempt by the Soviet Union to send an advanced lunar sample return craft to the Moon, equipped with the capability to dig for a deeper core. The first spacecraft (Luna 23) was damaged during landing on the Moon in October 1974.
On this mission, the first three stages of the Proton-K launch vehicle worked without fault, but the Blok D stage, during its first burn for insertion into Earth orbit, failed. The expensive payload burned up in Earth's atmosphere without ever reaching Earth orbit.

TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 1 Maximum: 1
NOTES:This course will be discontinued August 1st. Anyone currently enrolled will have six months from time of registration to complete the course.
This training was prepared by the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) in partnership with NHI to provide guidance on critical concrete pavement preservation issues. The training was sponsored by the FHWA and developed by the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center at Iowa State University. This training is offered by NHI, and we would like to give special recognition to the TCCC for their efforts. This course is recommended for the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council levels I - IV.
This module presents design and construction information on retrofitted edge drains. This treatment is not as widely used as it once was, largely because it has limited applicability. Specifically, it must be targeted to those pavements that are 1) in good structural condition and 2) have bases with some degree of permeability that would allow water to be drained from beneath the pavement and to the edge drain.
This module is part of the curriculum from the Concrete Pavement Preservation Series (FHWA-NHI-131126) which presents current guidelines and recommendations for the design, construction, and selection of cost-effective concrete pavement preservation strategies. The other Web-based training modules include:
FHWA-NHI-131126A Preventive Maintenance and Pavement Preservation Concepts
FHWA-NHI-131126B Concrete Pavement Evaluation
FHWA-NHI-131126C Slab Stabilization and Slab Jacking
FHWA-NHI-131126D Partial-Depth Repairs
FHWA-NHI-131126E Full-Depth Repairs
FHWA-NHI-131126G Load Transfer Restoration
FHWA-NHI-131126H Diamond Grinding and Grooving
FHWA-NHI-131126I Joint Resealing and Crack Sealing
FHWA-NHI-131126J Strategy Selection
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
The intended audience for the Concrete Pavement Preservation Web-based Training is quite diverse, and includes design engineers, quality control personnel, contractors, suppliers, technicians, and trades people. While the course is aimed at those who have some familiarity with concrete pavements and pavement preservation, it should also be of value to those that are new to the field.
In addition, our target audience could be geographically dispersed, in need of immediate training or information, or not have access to travel funds.
If you have questions about this NHI training, please contact NHI at

Test ID: CAI
Calcium, Ionized, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assessing calcium states during liver transplantation surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass, or any procedure requiring rapid transfusion of whole blood in neonates and in critically ill patients
Second-order test in the evaluation of patients with abnormal calcium values
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Ionized calcium, which accounts for 50% to 55% of total calcium, is the physiologically active form of calcium.
Low ionized calcium values are often seen in renal disease, critically ill patients, or patients receiving rapid transfusion of citrated whole blood or blood products.
Increased serum ionized calcium concentrations may be seen with primary hyperparathyroidism, ectopic parathyroid hormone-producing tumors, excess intake of vitamin D, or various malignancies.
Nomograms have been used to calculate ionized calcium from total calcium, albumin, and pH values. However, calculated ionized calcium results have proven to be unsatisfactory. A Mayo study of 114 patients found significant differences between ionized and total calcium in 26% of patients.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
1-19 years: 5.1-5.9 mg/dL
> or =20 years: 4.8-5.7 mg/dL
Reference values have not been established for patients that are <12 months of age.
1-17 years: 5.1-5.9 mg/dL
> or =18 years: 4.8-5.7 mg/dL
Reference values have not been established for patients that are <12 months of age.
Pediatric ranges derived for GEM method from analytic comparison to reference method in: Snell J, Greeley C, Colaco A, et al: Pediatric reference ranges for arterial pH, whole blood electrolytes and glucose. Clin Chem 1993;39:1173.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Serum ionized calcium concentrations 50% below normal result in severely reduced cardiac stroke work. With moderate to severe hypocalcemia, left ventricular function may be profoundly depressed.
Ionized calcium values are higher in children and young adults.
Ionized calcium values vary inversely with pH, approximately 0.2 mg/dL per 0.1 pH unit change.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Proper specimen handling is necessary to ensure accurate results.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Brazil Rush Athletes Studying in United States
Brasil Rush student-athletes are proof to all international student-athletes that soccer and education can go hand in hand and lead to the best of both worlds with focus, determination and tenacity.
Davi Ramos and Marcella Costa are the first male and female Brasil Rush players to have entered high school in the United States where they both study and play soccer for their respective team at Fayetteville Academy (North Carolina). Both these players have quickly become exemplary to their Brasil Rush teammates with their focus and perseverance to continue to push for their best on and off the field. After having completed her first semester at Fayetteville Academy, Marcella has already achieved Honors and been proving to be an excellent addition to the girl's soccer team with her goals.
Davi Ramos was a crucial player in helping bring home another state title for the Fayetteville Academy Eagles in 2012. He was named The Fayetteville Observer's Cape Fear region soccer player of the year. Here is what Davi's coach, McCarthy, had to say about Davi and the team: "They set a good example in the classroom and in the community.''
"Ramos may have set the best example of the bunch," McCarthy said. "When the best player on the team works harder than anyone else, that sets a good example for the rest of the team. ''Ramos was recently honored for his hard work by being named to the 2012 NSCAA High School Boys Scholar All-America Team and also to the 2012 High School Boys All-Region III. As far as McCarthy knows, he is the first Academy player to receive that recognition. As a senior, Ramos has a 4.0 GPA and has already signed with North Carolina State University.
Rush Soccer and Brasil Rush are very proud of both Marcella and Davi. They may continue to lead the way for all future Brasil Rush and other international Rush players to come.

I´ve been reading that an aspirin a day can help prevent a heart attack. I´ve never had a heart attack, and I don´t want to have one! Should I be taking an aspirin a day, and if so, what´s the correct dose?
Gilead Lancaster, MD, medical director of Non-Invasive Cardiology in the Heart Institute at Bridgeport Hospital, responds:
By now it has been well established that taking a daily dose of aspirin can reduce the chances of a sec-ond heart attack or stroke in people who have already had their first-and that aspirin can help prevent first heart attacks and strokes in those who are at risk.
But that doesn´t mean that daily aspirin is right for everyone. If you´re young, healthy, have no risk fac-tors and no family history of heart disease, the risks of daily aspirin (such stomach bleeding, bleeding in the brain, kidney failure, and certain kinds of strokes) outweigh the benefits. You should ask your physician whether aspirin therapy is right for you.
Who Could Benefit from Daily Aspirin?
People whose physicians may decide that aspirin therapy is beneficial include-
People who should probably not take aspirin daily include the following:
If your physician decides that aspirin therapy is right for you, he or she will prescribe the correct dosage. The recommended dose for cardiovascular use is generally 50 to 325 milligrams once daily. Many physicians prescribe one or two baby aspirin (81 milligrams apiece). Doses higher than 325 milligrams a day may actually be less effective than the lower doses, and should be avoided.
Don´t make the mistake of thinking that any pain reliever will have the desired effect. Only aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) will do the job. Acetaminophen (Tylenol™, etc.) is not known to be effective. And ibuprofen (Motrin™, etc.) not only won´t help prevent heart attacks, but taken along with aspirin, it is known to reduce aspirin´s beneficial heart effects.

This looks pretty serious
http://www.stagestack.com/ (http://www.goexpressive.com/)
First a small bit of history:
Apparently, for professionals that had to deal with pre-press, the choice was always between Illustrator & FreeHand.
FreeHand was developed originally by Aldus, and then Macromedia. Macromedia was taken over by Adobe a few years back. They were happy to let Illustrator's main competitor die a slow death. At the time nothing was done about this anti-competitive behaviour. The Free Freehand group recently had a go at taking them to court, but in spite of a lot of support from individuals, it was always a David vs. Goliath thing.
After concluding the attempt to make Adobe change their ways (or at the very least improve Illustrator to the standards they were used to), they have decided to support the development of Quasado's Stagestack/Expressive.
As you can see from the above screenshot, Stagestack/Expressive have raised over 37,000 euros (almost $50,000).
They've been on the go for 2.5 years.
First nightly builds will be available to donaters of 25 euros or more as of mid-August. A 25 euro donation will get you 15% off the price of a license.
I'll probably give it a go myself, having used FreeHand since the year 2000. I tried Illustrator once or twice, but it was so slow I always went back to FreeHand (this may have improved with recent hardware improvements). I have to have (another) go at installing CS5 in the next while (support for opening/importing FreeHand documents has been removed from the latest Illustrator, CS6). Like me, there are lots of people out there with years worth of FreeHand files. Hopefully Expressive will make an app with a good workflow, as well as being able to open FreeHand files.

DRIFTING ALONG: One of the most well known pieces of public art downtown is the (sinking?) "rowing man" on the corner of Gay and Church.
Meanwhile, the Dogwood Arts Festival's annual Art in Public Places program is the only source for new public-art pieces downtown.
WHAT'S MISSING? For many years, the only public art downtown was the "treble clef" commemorating Knoxville's country music past. It was removed in 2009 due to structural problems; Mayor Rogero's proposed budget allots $150,000 for new public art in the Cradle of Country Music Park.
