Great weave !
I can relate to this.
Kind of like a golfer hitting a hole in one - (although I can't even hit a golf ball at a driving range.)
When I do a "fair" tig weld which I am proud of, I donate it to either my local welding tech school welding instructor or my local welding distributor.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear that my tech school instructor kept several as teaching examples.
Maybe I should send him some of my poor examples so he can say to his students " DO NOT WELD LIKE THIS POOR FOOL"Thermal Arc GTSW400, Airco Heliwelder II, Miller Dynasty 350, Hypertherm 1000, oxy-fuel setup, metal cutting bandsaw, air compressor, drill press, etc.:

I liked him in the preseason and thought he was solid when called upon near the end of the season. I'd definitely like to see him on the team next year but we can't be counting on him big time or anything.
I liked him in the preseason and thought he was solid when called upon near the end of the season. I'd definitely like to see him on the team next year but we can't be counting on him big time or anything.
He had 10 receptions on 17 targets in the month of December. He catches the ball well and looks like a NFL receiver. He seems to be emerging given his strong finish, but he needs to emerge from training camp as contributing receiver. My expectation is he will be the 4th or 5th WR coming out of training camp.
I'm thinking we bring in at least 2 new WR's via free agency and the draft, and assuming we keep Bess and Hartline, Matthews is going to have a hard time finding a roster sport.
I like Matthews. It seems like he competes for every ball thrown his way. To me his style of play is similar to Boldins. If given the opportunity to develope, I think he can contribute.
All of us fans have a lot of love for Rishard. Unfortunately the coaching staff didn't share that love or he would have gotten more burn this past year. I think he showed himself to be a natural playmaker in college and was by far my favorite WR we picked up.
He has to be part of our future moving forward. Of course if we pick up a big name WR FA and resign Hartline AND draft 2-3 WRs as expected then things become much more muddled.
The thing that stuck out to me in his limited action was how natural he looked. I haven't gotten a chance to really look at how he fared one on one, and to be honest I would much rather defer to other guys about how he looked, but just as far as the eye test goes.... that boy is a football player. I'm a big fan of the limited action I saw from him.
With that said, he shouldn't be anything more than a 4 or a 5 WR on the depth chart going into the season. He is exactly the kind of player you want to keep around and hope he blossoms but by no means do you want to hitch any sort of wagon to him as far as relying on him to be a serious part of the offense.
He shouldn't be tossed to the 'scrap heap' nor should you rely on such limited sample size to proclaim him the next coming.
Bring in your FA and draft pick, resign Hartline. And let the competition begin.
Think Rishard has the potential to be a decent receiver. Not sure he has great explosiveness but he probably will be our 4th or 5th receiver next year. I still think Bess gets traded, and so Hartline, a free agent and a high draft pick will probably all be ahead of Rishard, depending on how far along the rookie is.
I predict he will have a huge offseason and emerge as one of our best receivers come preseason. He will be the number 2 guy. Hartline on the slot and Jennings at the 1.
Rookies in this O take time to learn to read the D and run the right route. I'm sure that's why the let the vet have the reps. Who knew Landee? was a POS. That said I have high hopes for Matthews, and hope he can make the team next year...I hope he has a LOT of new competition for his job though!

We think of this as the Phantoms big brother the perfect option if you prefer the handling qualities of a larger biner. Its certainly big enough to work well if you are wearing winter gloves.
Weve made some subtle, but important changes from the original Spectre. For example it has a safer, deeper rope basket that being the techy term for the crook of the biner in which the rope sits during a fall.
Weve also tweaked the design so it works better with modern skinny Dyneema. This means that the quickdraw tape sits in a neat and correctly aligned position.
Oh, one final thing, we should mention that the Spectre 2 is only 32g thatll be 3g lighter than the original Spectre. After all, every little bit counts in the weight saving game.
Top tip: It is important to always clip protection, be it a bolt, a peg or whatever with the same end of the quickdraw. On our quickdraws weve synched the rope clipping biner in a stable/captive position with the sling stitching and a rubber biner loop. Weve also colour coded the biners (Silver: bolt, peg etc, Grey: rope) just to make sure you get it right in that moment of extremis.

Still Doodling Ships
By Drew DeSpirito
I started doodling ships in my notebooks in elementary school when I was six, and kept it up all the way into high school. Once I found out there was a tuition-free college a few towns over that offered naval architecture, I knew I had to attend. I learned to be careful what I wished for. If I stop and think about the multiple all-nighters and the endless barrage of assignments, papers, and projects, I shudder. Then my mind moves past the initial horror and remembers all the fun we had while pulling those all-nighters. Some of my classmates remain my closest friends, and we always reminisce about the laughing and fun—not the work!
I started as an Intern at NSWC Carderock, in their surface ship naval architecture department. My obsession was with submarines, however, so I quickly tailored my intern rotations to focus accordingly. In 2005 I was offered at job at NAVSEA headquarters, in the Advanced Undersea Systems Program Office. I spent three years delivering, testing, and certifying the Submarine Rescue Diving and Recompression System for the Navy.
From there, I was promoted to Project Engineer, and given my own in-service research and development system to operate and maintain. I am now responsible for a $20 million annual budget, and for delivering a deployable asset to support national objectives. It is a significant challenge, but the rewards are worth it. Getting to work with some of the most talented people in the Navy is an honor, and I look forward to work every day. If someone had told me at graduation that I'd have this kind of responsibility in less than ten years, I'd have laughed in their face!
Sometimes I wish I could just draw the submarines, though. I still find myself doodling them on my notes when meetings get too long or boring. That's a problem—especially when it's my meeting to run.

Ms. Judy Devine accepting the 2014 Diversity Trailblazer Award
Judy Devine, a long-time member of Kent State University's Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, has been awarded the university's 2014 Diversity Trailblazer Award. The annual Diversity Trailblazer Award recognizes diversity pioneers associated with Kent State. It is given to those individuals who have displayed exemplary contributions in the area of diversity to the university community. Devine was presented with the award during the university's 12th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration held Jan. 23 in the Kent State University Ballroom.
Considered the matriarch of Kent State University Athletics, Devine retired from her post as senior associate athletic director in 2000 following 31 years in a variety of roles within the department. Devine was nominated by Talea Drummer, assistant athletic director at Kent State. In her letter of nomination, Drummer wrote that Devine has "truly blazed a trail for gender equity for student-athletes, coaches and administrators" and "worked hard to make sure that women who participated in athletics were treated fairly." Drummer mentioned in 2010 that Devine, along with other members of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, held a lettering ceremony during Homecoming weekend to honor all of the pre-Title IX female athletes by giving them the varsity letter that was long-deserved. "If it were not for strong and determined women such as her, women (such as myself) would not be allotted the opportunities we have now," Drummer wrote.

Gene Shelton, associate professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Kent State University, has been awarded the university's 2013 Diversity Trailblazer Award. Kent State's Diversity Trailblazer Award is a university-wide award that recognizes faculty, staff or a departmental group for their significant contributions to enhance diversity and inclusive excellence at Kent State.
Kent State President Lester A. Lefton presented the award to Shelton on Nov. 14 prior to the Kent State Presidential Speaker Series event with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.
"There were several strong nominations for the 2013 Diversity Trailblazers Award, but out of them all, Gene Shelton's rose to the top," said Alfreda Brown, vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion at Kent State. "Gene Shelton is known as a champion of inclusive diversity and a strong advocate for diversity issues in faculty deliberations. His quiet, passionate but firm way of encouraging openness and helping others understand the challenges of diversity has had a lasting impact upon his colleagues."

Dean David Mohan
The Division of DEI presented its 2012 Diversity Trailblazer award to Dean David Mohan of Kent State's Geauga Campus for his enthusiastic and effective leadership on diversity and inclusion in recruitment, academics and other Campus initiatives.
In accepting the award, Mohan thanked the faculty, staff and students at the Geauga Campus and the Kent State University Regional Academic Center. "This award reaffirms my belief that initiatives such as increasing diversity throughout an organization can best be accomplished by a team of dedicated individuals who believe and practice the tenants of an open and supportive culture of differing points of view and personal perspectives," Mohan said.
Mohan cited the successful diversity initiative that supports junior and senior high students in and around Cleveland's inner city, to help them value the importance of a university education. Those efforts focus primarily in the minority church congregations in several socioeconomically disadvantaged areas.
During Mohan's tenure, Geauga Campus minority enrollment has increased from 2 percent to between 12 and 15 percent, while retention for all students also increased. The full-time faculty at the Geauga Campus is 79 percent women and minorities.

Rev. Ronald Fowler

Rev. Ronald Fowler
A distinguished Kent State alumnus, Fowler is a member of the inaugural Hall of Fame of the College of Education, Health and Human Services, and a consultant to the university on diversity recruitment and retention. He also works with Akron and Cleveland public schools on behalf of the university.
Fowler also chaired the influential Commission on Inclusion, a broad-based panel whose 15 recommendations laid the groundwork for Kent State's push to "Inclusive Excellence" – now a core university value of maintaining a welcoming and nurturing learning environment for students, faculty and staff.
"The Trailblazer Award recognizes pioneers for diversity, those who bring proven sustainability and progressive change to our community," says Dr. Alfreda Brown, vice president for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. "That description could have been written with Rev. Ron Fowler in mind. His life has been one of tireless service and significant contributions to diversity and community engagement."
Fowler is well-known in the region for his long tenure as senior pastor of Akron's Arlington Church of God, as a board member of Akron Public Schools and as a leader in other civic and business boards and organizations.

A national pioneer in gay and lesbian issues, Noll was an early contributor to Kent State's own history of supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender studies. That history goes back to 1972, when Noll became the first professor to teach a gay and lesbian issues course at Kent State. Noll also was a founding adviser to the Kent Gay Liberation Front, now called PRIDE! Kent, one of the oldest gay rights student organizations in the country.

Here's The Old Farmer's Almanac guide to regional U.S. cover crops. Or, see our regional Canadian cover crops chart.
What are cover crops?
They're legumes and grasses that provide fast-growing ground cover to amend and improve the soil. Here in New Hampshire, once we harvest and clean an area out, we often plant winter rye.
Why plant cover crops?
They're a great and increasingly popular way to prevent soil erosion, block weeds, and add nutrients back into the soil to give next spring's plantings a healthier start. If you ask your local CSA or farm stand, you'll find that many cover their empty fields with cover crops as an alternative to animal manure as fertilizer.
Cover crops may be used in any size of garden. Plant in the late summer or early fall (after harvest) in northern areas and any time in the South.
The following is a list of cover crops suitable for your region.

Comments On Jun 20, 2015:I bought these springs because we needed stiffer springs. The description says they are 10% stiffer. They were cheap so I tried them. As soon as I had one in my hand and compressed it I could tell that they were not any stiffer than OEM. They were longer so I tried them anyways but they made no difference. I then bought much more expensive ones and I could tell by compressing the more expensive ones in my hand that they were actually stiffer than OEM and they worked way better on our bike. These are probably a decent choice to replace OEM if you aren't looking for stiffer springs but of no use otherwise.

Weekly Round-Up, April 16: TSCA Reform Rolls Out
1:55 PM MDT | April 16, 2010 | Vincent Valk
The debate over reform of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) kicked into high gear this week, as U.S. legislators introduced slightly different bills reforming the act in the Senate and House. Not-shockingly, environmental groups are pushing for more proscriptive rules for chemicals, while industry is pushing for laxer rules. Both groups, however, expressed support for some kind of reform. The coatings business is looking to recovery, if sentiment at this year's American Coatings Show in Charlotte, NC is any indication (I'd imagine it is). Companies are...

En español | An AARP editor asked me recently, "At what point do we say to people: 'OK, you can panic now.' When will our financial advice — to stay the course — have to change?"
To which my response is: Advice from investment advisers has changed already. They've grown more conservative. When they say stay the course, they're talking about the new course. That means a laser focus on matching your expenses to income and savings, with investment considerations second.
See also: Is your financial future secure?
You cannot outsmart the future. Stocks usually rise in a presidential election year, but that's no guarantee. Some economists — including those at the respected Economic Cycle Research Institute — forecast a new recession in 2012, which could cut off the stock market at the knees. Doomsday prophets foresee hyperinflation, yet slack economies kill inflation and hold down interest rates, as we've recently seen. Europe might, or might not, prevent defaults.
A panic response? No one should invest based on predictions. Preparing for 2012 (and '13 and '14) does indeed demand a panic response — but not of the investing kind. The panics we think about, when stock markets fall, could be titled "Omigod, sell everything." The more critical wake-up call, especially for people still working or younger retirees, is "Omigod, I'm not saving enough" or "Omigod, my expenses are too high." Those are the action items that matter most.
The story varies, depending on your age and work status. If you're at least 65 and fully retired, you may be in decent shape. You've already faced the need to balance your expenses with your reduced, post-paycheck income. Social Security benefits will rise 3.6 percent in 2012, and inflation-linked pensions will rise, too. Between 2007 and 2010, median household income for people 65 and up increased by 5.5 percent a year, while income for every other age group fell. Only 9 percent of people 65-plus lived in poverty in 2010, compared with 13.7 percent for those 18 to 64.
Careful budgeting pays. A study led by MIT economist James Poterba found that only 18 percent of people with retirement accounts draw out money in any year between ages 60 and 69. They're covering their expenses with other resources and letting savings build.
The "Omigod" group includes workers 55-plus who are not in decent shape. Many took a hit in the last recession. Many who lost their jobs were unemployed almost three times longer than they would have been in better times, according to the Government Accountability Office. An AARP survey found that 25 percent of 50-plus adults exhausted their savings between 2007 and 2010.
Next: Prepare ahead of time for your transition to retirement. >>

Gallery: MVN Arquitectos Renovates Industrial Warehouse Into Gorgeous G...
The Botín Foundation is an organization that contributes to the social development of Cantabria, and their new office exemplifies this mission through its creative design. Exposed brick and black metal compliments the addition of wood cladding to the interior walls, ceiling, and flooring. Industrial polycarbonate wall panels help to bring in much-needed light from the interior light wells. The design team also exposed HVAC, lighting and mechanical equipment to add a sophisticated touch to the building's industrial-chic style.
The renovation's green building strategies can be seen from the moment visitors enter the lobby. A double-height atrium with living trees and natural daylight is one of the most dramatic spaces in the building. The ground floor is made up of modular and flexible spaces to allow for multiple uses and activities. These spaces are warmed by the use of wood cladding. The second floor is made up of private meeting rooms and spaces that are lit by the glazed polycarbonate walls surrounding the atrium.

I recently noticed a Japanese comedian named
お侍ちゃん. It indeed sounds funny. Why is it?

I recently noticed a Japanese comedian named
I am not a native, but I would make two guesses as to why it sounds funny:
1) It could be because ちゃん expresses that the speaker finds that person endearing. Since お侍 is a position that holds superiority, the use of ちゃん now becomes condescending and rude.
2) The other reason I can think of, is that in japanese the combination of お and ちゃん that I have seen are applied to the elderly while still holding the endearing quality such as おばあちゃん and おじいちゃん. Substituting 侍 in place could show that their still maintains a characteristic of being amicable between the person and speaker regardless of the 侍 title.

Comments about Kalorik Panini Maker:
We unpacked and it was awhile before we used it. I had already thrown away the box, etc. when we noticed that the cord was cut in several places. Taped the cord. Also the lid was scrathed up. Hope that it will be alright.
Haven't cooked any paninis but it grills okay and is easy to clean. Seems cheaply made though.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Light-Up Halloween Figures …
"I bought one of these years ago and loved it -I don't know what happened to it. I actually had a light up Haunted House that was green. I never thought I'd find at least one of these again. Thanks." - Pearl, Bristol,
"We had this lamp when I was a child and it just wasn't Halloween without it. I'm so happy you've had it reproduced so my own daughter can enjoy it as much as I did!" - Nancy, Apex,
"I loved the magical black cat/pumpkin light, which I grew up with in the 1960s. At some point it broke and was thrown away, and over the past decades I have wondered if I only dreamt that it existed. When I saw this photo on the Vermont County Store website, I almost jumped out of my chair! Now I have a piece of my childhood back." - Tina, Madison, WI
"I purchased two scarecrows last year and was sorry I didn't purchase more. I'm now getting a cat for me and one of each for my sister, who is now a grandmother. My great nieces and nephew will love seeing these lit in "Mom-mom's" windows. I had thought that these wonderful decorations had been lost forever." - Michael, Glen Burnie, MD
"We used to go "Trick or Treating" through our neighborhood when I was a child with my mom walking with us but staying far enough back that it was still like "being alone." These lovely decorations would light the way to doors where neighbors would give out candy and exclaim over the "scariness" of our costumes. We'd run back to Mom to show her what we had just gotten, then on to the next house. I bought these to bring the new "Trick or Treaters" to my house. Thank you!" - Kathy Snapp, Church Hill, TN
"My granddaughter and I fell in love with these when we were looking through your new catalog. I ordered both and I'm so glad I did. They are completely enchanting!" - Dawn Hassett, Long Beach, CA

I just cleaned my gears, derailleurs, and chain. Lubricated the chain with Teflon dry lube. When will I need to re-lubricate again? Will I hear the chain make sounds? Do I do a visual inspection?
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.
If you hear your chain squeaking you definitely need to re-lubricate it. It's also a good idea to re-lubricate after riding in wet weather since the combination of road grit and water tends to strip away the oil/wax.
For more detailed recommendations, see this question: "How often should I lube my chain?"
