The new $34 million emergency services radio system put in play this year in St. Mary's has some firefighters screaming. They say that is sometimes the only way they can hear each other, when the new frequencies won't even carry a message 100 feet.
Bay District volunteer firefighters said this week that they've heard no indications that the situation will improve anytime soon. And the trouble isn't just in Bay District's first-due areas of Lexington Park and California, according to the chief of the Mechanicsville Volunteer Rescue Squad.
"It's very, very concerning," Jessica Vallandingham said Monday, and she takes no comfort in the fact that the communication breakdown hasn't yet resulted in direct tragedy to her squad members, as they wait for county officials to fix the problem. "Is that what it's going to take?" she asked. "Someone getting hurt?"
Bay District Fire Chief Shawn Downs said Monday that the county's fire and rescue volunteers were not permitted to take part in choosing the new radio system eventually contracted to Harris Corp., and that they were only brought in to test the new system after all decisions were made and implemented.
"Why would you test something after it was installed?" Downs asked, noting that performance remained about the same when the hardware was distributed last spring, until new radio frequencies went into use in August and a steady decline in signal strength began.
"We've gotten progressively worse, somehow. You cannot talk to anybody," the fire chief said, recalling problems during a kitchen fire last weekend at a Patuxent Park residence, when the radios lapsed into a scan mode for more than three minutes.
"The guys were reduced to yelling out the windows," Downs said.
Radio transmissions that don't go through in locations known as "dead spots" still affected about 25 percent of Bay District's first-due response area before the new radios and frequencies were placed in service, the chief said.
The firefighters were told that problem would not be eradicated until five new towers are in place, but they did not expect to lose the service they had.
"I'd say we're less than 50 percent," Downs said, and that problem continued last week when he was atop a restaurant in Lexington Park, and he tried to make a radio call to firefighters on the ground, less than 100 feet away. "They could not hear me," the fire chief said. "I had to yell down from the roof."
Richard Sullivan, a Bay District vice president, said "If people can't communicate, somebody's going to get hurt, or end up dying because of this. Thirty or 40 seconds [in lost communications] makes a big difference."
Bob Kelly, director of the St. Mary's County Department of Emergency Services and Technology, said he is aware there have been issues with the communications system.
"We're 60 days into a brand-new system. As the issues are reported, we're responding to them. Is Harris working on this? Absolutely," he said. St. Mary's County government entered into a 15-year contract with Harris Corp. to operate the communications system.
"We've been running tests since Thursday and we take 24-hour chunks of data and send it to the Harris team" for evaluation, Kelly said. "There may be something else outside the system that's affecting us."
One problem already identified was a faulty global-positioning receiver on the radio tower in Mechanicsville that was causing interference. "It was just screaming out there," Kelly said.
As for what's causing the most recent radio troubles, he said it's too early to say what it is. "If it is a problem with our equipment, the vendor has to fix it," he said.
Edward Evans, the president of the local Fraternal Order of Police and a lieutenant with the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office, said Tuesday that law officers are encouraged to report any radio problems they have, so the department of emergency services and technology can address the problem. "As the issues come to light, they're adjusting the towers to cover any dead spots. Once they do that, it is slowly improving," Evans said. "These same dead areas were [a problem with] the old system."
Downs said he called Leonardtown this week to further discuss the issue, and was told there had been a "systemwide outage.
"They know the signal strength is lower than its ever been," the Bay District fire chief said. "I believe it's [from] dead spots, due to signal strength. What's causing that, I don't know. If it's interference, why has [that] never affected us before?"
The new radios have posed some problems for security officers at the county courthouse in Leonardtown, where they said this week that transmissions sometimes are garbled, come across at different volumes or cease when the radios go into scan mode. "We get behind a brick wall, and sometimes it won't go through," one officer said.
At Mechanicsville, Vallandingham said Monday, "My biggest concern is my providers' safety. They don't have communications, no one can hear them. They can get hurt on the scene, [because] they cannot get the resources they need. We can't interact with the police anymore."

Super Bowl Without the Super Calories
Many of us will be butching it up this weekend for Super Bowl XLVII, donning costumes - um, I mean uniforms - for one of the best excuses to throw an afternoon party all year long. While Beyoncé will be putting a Super Bowl-style ring on it, we'll be dishing out classic All-American snacks.
Not to put a damper on your New Orleans inspired buffet, but you might want to reconsider what you'll be feeding your guests. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of U.S. adults are obese and that doesn't make for a fun fetish football party.
Here is our recipe round-up to keep you satisfied during the game and healthy enough to score your own private touchdown afterwards without having a heart attack.
Southern Hummus Dip
This hummus recipe uses Vidalia onions and is paired with a colorful medley of sweet potatoes, red peppers and green beans for a homey, Southern-style take on the Middle Eastern favorite. Using canned chickpeas makes this a quick treat to whip up for the big game. This recipe serves 6-8 people as an appetizer.
Southern Hummus
1 medium Vidalia onion, peeled and sliced thinly
½ cup tahini (stirred well if separated)
4 cloves garlic, peeled and flattened with a knife
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus extra for onions and garnish
4 cups chick peas (from about 2½ 15.5-oz. cans)
Ground cumin
Paprika (optional)
1. Cook sliced Vidalia onion in 1 Tablespoon olive oil in sauté pan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Cook approximately 8-10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Set aside to cool.
2. Drain chickpeas, reserving ½ cup chickpeas and ½ cup juices from can. Rinse chickpeas and drain.
3. In food processor, mix tahini, garlic and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and has lightened in color.
4. With the processor running, drizzle in ¼ cup olive oil.
5. Add cooked onions and 3½ cups chickpeas and process thoroughly until the mixture is smooth. Scrape down the sides once or twice.
6. Add salt and cumin to taste. If hummus is too thick, thin with reserved chickpea liquid.
7. Scrape hummus into a serving bowl, making a well in the center and garnishing with reserved chickpeas, a drizzle of olive oil and paprika (if using).
Veggies on the Side
1 lb. green beans
1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes
1-2 red bell peppers
1. Green beans: Bring a pot of water to a boil, salting well. Add green beans to salted boiling water, cooking until bright green but not cooked through. You want the beans to be al dente. Remove beans from water and cool immediately under cold water until chilled. Drain well.
2. Sweet potatoes: Peel sweet potatoes and cut in half lengthwise. Slice into thin half moons.
3. Red peppers: Slice tops off peppers, poking out stem. Slice peppers in half lengthwise, removing seeds and ribs. Slice peppers into 1½-inch wide strips.

Stuffed Apricots with Maple-Gorgonzola
1/2 pound dried apricots (about 45)
1/4 pound crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1/4 cup maple syrup (use the good, dark stuff) plus a few tablespoons
for drizzling
Combine the Gorgonzola and maple syrup in a bowl. Stir to coat completely.
Use a small paring knife or your fingers to split each apricot lengthwise along its natural seam and stuff with about a teaspoon of filling. Set on a tray and repeat with the rest of the apricots. Drizzle a couple tablespoons over the apricots once filled.
Cover with plastic and keep chilled until serving.

It's been all over the news: The glamour and excitement of the games in Sochi have come at the expense of thousands of innocent stray dogs. Ahead of the games, the government hired a private company to eliminate stray dogs from city streets.
Now, the athletes themselves are joining the public outcry and efforts to save these precious dogs. Last week, slopestyle skier Gus Kenworthy tweeted photos of four adorable stray puppies and their mother. (He them found hiding near the competition area.) The medalist pledged to bring the pups back to the States the moment he saw them.
We're so happy the pups now have a second chance. Thank you, Gus!
The action doesn't end there. ESPN correspondent Sarah Spain also saw the plight of the Sochi dogs and wanted to get involved helping homeless pets in her own community—so she's pitching in!
"Like many people I was heartbroken to learn about the stray dogs being killed in Sochi," says Spain. "While we may not be able to help those dogs, we can help homeless pets in our own backyard," she explains. "In honor of the Sochi dogs, I've teamed up with a dedicated group of celebrities to help raise funds for the ASPCA."
Thank you, Sarah and Gus. Your actions inspire us all.

Jerry D. Heflin, 74, of Marble Falls, Texas, died Jan. 17, 2013. He was born April 29, 1938, in Girard, Texas to parents who were both of Native American ancestry. His father, W.T. Heflin was of Tonkawa ancestry and his mother, Lola Mae (Waldon) Heflin was Cherokee and Irish.
As a young man, Jerry served three years in the United States Army and received training in California and was later deployed to Korea where he served as a pilot for all types of water craft.
Jerry spent over 25 years as a law enforcement officer in El Paso, Nolan and Eastland Counties, 17 of those years as Chief Deputy and Sheriff of Ward County. He was the only law enforcement officer in history to be Chief Deputy Sheriff of three counties in Texas.
For many years Jerry had been researching his heritage and started writing stories and poems about Native Americans. He also had been making reproductions of dream catchers, mandellas and medicine wheels. Several years ago he began making Native American flutes out of cedar, walnut and cherry woods, and teaching the ancient history of the flute to school children and other groups.
Jerry is survived by his wife, Jody Heflin of Marble Falls; daughter, Valerie Dee Heflin of Austin; grandson, Jerry Dell Heflin of Monahans; granddaughter, Jordon Renee Heflin of Cedar Park; great-grandson, Michael Vernon Heflin of Blanco; and sisters, Sandra Maxwell and Karen Sue Rasco, both of Marble Falls. He is also survived by other relatives and many friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Vernon Dell Heflin in 1997; and sister, Ann Clark in 2008.
Memorial service will be Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 2 p.m. at Clements-Wilcox Chapel with Bro. Max Copeland officiating.
Condolences may be offered at www.clementswilcoxfuneralhome.com.
Arrangements are under the direction of Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home of Marble Falls.

Sulawesi Tenggara (Southeast Sulawesi,) is on one of the world's most uniquely shaped islands, often referred to as the "Orchid Shaped Island." Today, Sulawesi is divided into six provinces, one of them being Southeast Sulawesi, covering the lower eastern "petal" of this beautiful island. The city of Kendari is its capital which lies on the east coast of the peninsula and is the starting point to any adventure into this fascinating province.
In Southeast Sulawesi are found the 7-tiers Moramo Waterfalls, the Giant Clam Marine Park, and also the Wakatobi National Park, dclared a UNESCO Biosphere Park.
The indigenous people of this province are the Tolaki, Morunene, Buton, Muna and the Bajo ethnic groups. Kendari has the fourth largest population in Sulawesi, behind Makassar, Manado, and Palu.
Kendari city, was formerly named Kandai, and also sometimes referred to among the locals as Kantahi. Translated literally, this means, the coastal region.
Kendari is the tourist center of the province of Sulawesi Tenggara, which offers wonderful attractions both on land and seas. It lies along the sloping hills and seaside of Kendari Bay, and is residence to some 100,000 people. Kendari boasts the manufacture of numerous fine, artistic handicrafts, for both home and office use. They are reproduced by skilled craftsmen, from original designs and handed down through the generations, using indigenous roots and ironwood.
Visitors will find frequent, colorful ceremonial events in and around Kendari. To be present at any one of these occasions is to be invited to participate. For the closing of any ceremonial event in Kendari it will be highlighted by the local "Lulo Dance", performed by local men and women. And all on-lookers are invited to join the dance, as part of the conclusion and harmonious farewell.
Most the of the land area of Southeast Sulawesi, Kendari included, is covered by natural jungle. There are extensive plantations of teak and ironwood, which are used for local handicrafts and contribute to the local economy. For those who like challenging adventures and ecotourism, this part of Sulawesi is ideal. There are several dive and snorkel spots which you may wish to try in and around Kendari, before you venture further into the deep-sea waterworld around Wakatobi.

Velcro USA's Texacro® LOOP 71 is a pressure sensitive hook-n-loop nylon fastener closure system manufactured with woven nylon yarns and bound by an acrylic binder coating. The hook and loop parts are sold separately and this product is for the loop only (the rougher side is the hook and the softer fuzzy side is the loop). Can be sewn to fabrics or applied to rigid surfaces using the factory applied rubber-based adhesive. Can be straight-cut or mated and cut. High tensile strength material for reusable fastening of many products including quick changes of props in the theater industry. Long length, 25 yards (75 feet), for numerous applications. Backed with pressure sensitive rubber adhesive and protected by a removable liner.

(10 to 19 rolls)
(>= 20 rolls)
* see individual roll price to left
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.

If that's the machine that guy wants to trade you a used Dynasty for, plus cash forget it. You can pick them up used for under $2000 once in awhile. Looks like you got some work in that CNC unit.
If you are set on buying one in the future, look into demo machines or factory refurbs. Larry Burross (weldersales) will treat you right. He's the king of demo/new old stock machines.
Pretty nice.So you're telling me...You're not nostalgic? Then, give me another word for it......

the router cnc I am keeping , I have a shoptask cnc that I used to make a lot of the parts for . And the Dynasty is the full unit ,with cooler and all but I have never been able to find them very cheap if at all.I will check out the links you gave me as well thanks.
Here are more pictures of the router that show it better ,It has a cutting area of 48" x 24", and so far has done a good job for me..
The control is made from 320 gecko servo drives, smooth stepper control card , 72 volt transformer power supply , and I use Mach 3 control software with Bob Cad V23 software..
Thanks for the clarification.
What do you have in the CNC? The Dynasty for the base model is going around around $1800-2500 used in VG condition on a very rough average. Remember, the base machine sells new for just a little more ($2800-3300 depending on where you get it) The list price is 30% above what the distributor pays for it generally speaking. When it comes to a machine like that, I would buy it new, or at the very least, from someone who will offer a guarantee of some kind with it.
Repairs on them can get pricey in a hurry.
You can get a good used cooler for under $300 on the net all day long. You have the skills, I'm sure to fabricate a cart for it.
Just something to think about. I want one myself, but it ain't happening right now.So you're telling me...You're not nostalgic? Then, give me another word for it......

Coverdell Education Savings Account
A Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA), formerly called an Education IRA, is a trust or custodial account created or organized in the United States only for the purpose of paying the qualified education expenses of the designated beneficiary of the account. You can open a Coverdell ESA at financial service firms and institutions.
Tax Benefit
Earning on a Coverdell ESA grow tax-free until withdrawn to pay for qualified expenses.
Income Limits
If your modified adjusted gross income is less than $110,000 ($220,000 if filing a joint return), you may be able to establish a Coverdell Education Savings account to finance the qualified education expenses of a designated beneficiary.
Designated Beneficiary
The designated beneficiary is the individual named in the document that creates the trust or custodial account who will receive the benefit of the funds in the account.
Qualified Expenses
Qualified higher education expenses are expenses required for the enrollment or attendance of the beneficiary at an eligible educational institution and include tuition and fees, the cost of books, supplies and equipment, the amounts contributed to a qualified tuition program and, if the student is enrolled at least half-time, the cost of room and board. You can also use withdrawals from a Coverdell ESA for certain elementary and secondary education expenses.
Eligible Educational Institutions
Eligible educational institutions are any college, university, vocational school or other postsecondary educational institution eligible to participate in student aid programs administered by the United States Department of Education and elementary and secondary education institutions.
Total Contributions Limit
There is no limit on the number of separate Coverdell ESAs that can be established for a designated beneficiary. However, total contributions for the beneficiary cannot be more than $2,000 no matter how many accounts have been established.
Age Limit
No contributions can be made to a beneficiary's Coverdell ESA after he or she reaches age 18, unless the beneficiary is a special-needs beneficiary. Amounts in a Coverdell ESA must be withdrawn when the designated beneficiary reaches age 30.
Certain transfers to members of the same family are permitted.
Compatibility with Other Tax Benefits for Higher Education
You can claim the American Opportunity or Lifetime Learning Tax Credit in the same year you take a tax-free distribution from a Coverdell ESA, provided that the distribution from the Coverdell ESA is not used for the same expenses for which the credit is claimed. You can make contributions to a Coverdell ESA and Qualified Tuition Program (QTP) in the same year for the same beneficiary.
For additional information on Coverdell ESAs, see Internal Revenue Service Publication 970.

Cor-ten steel welding
From Lincoln Electric
What consumable should be used for weathering steel?
Core Ten (A242 & A588) steels are weathering steels commonly used for outdoor structures. These steels have a higher resistance to atmospheric corrosion than typical mild steels. Often, welds on these steels are specified for similar corrosion resistance and color match.
On single pass welds, mild steel electrodes are commonly used. There is usually enough pickup from the base metal to obtain a good color match.
On multiple pass welds, low-alloy electrodes are commonly used to obtain a good color match and similar corrosion resistance. The electrodes commonly specified include those with the suffixes -C1, -C2, and -C3.
80% of failures are from 20% of causes
Never compromise your principles today in the name of furthering them in the future.

I can't remember all the details... but special wire or rod needs to be used to maintain the corrosion resistance (ER80S-G).
Our (in the Coast Guard) 44 foot motor life boats were built out of Cor-ten steel. One of the contractor doing some repairs didn't use the rod specified in the contract and the boat started springing leaks a few months after the job was finished. Needless to say, the contractor was on the hook for the repairs and the time that the boat was out of service to do the repairs.
I use this,........ made to match the A588 weathering resistance.http://www.mylincolnelectric.com/Cat...t.aspx?p=12789Warning to young ladies:

Fairfax County Police are seeking information about the body of a man discovered Monday morning in Reston.
Officers responded to a call of a body discovered in the 1800 block of Jonathan Way shortly after 7 a.m., according to police. Police said the body was found on a high-rise construction site located at the Harrison Apartment complex — formerly known as Parc Reston — across Reston Parkway from Romano's Macaroni Grill.
Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said the body has so far only been publicly identified by police as that of a construction worker, and police are still attempting to contact the man's next of kin.
Police have not disclosed whether the man had been working on that job site, or given any alternate reason as to why he was there, Caldwell said.
"We do not feel this situation involved foul play, and do not believe there is any public safety threat," she said.

Very few people would have predicted at the start of the year that Kimi Raikkonen would finish the 2012 season third in the Drivers' standings...
Very few people would have predicted at the start of the year that Kimi Raikkonen would finish the 2012 season third in the Drivers' Championship.
Judging by the way Michael Schumacher drove during his comeback season with Mercedes in 2010, expectations were not too high for Raikkonen as he made his return with Lotus following a few years in the World Rally Championship.
The Finn, though, finished third behind Champion Sebastian Vettel and runner-up Fernando Alonso without much fuss and was easily one of the most consistent drivers on the grid this campaign.
He claimed one race win - in Abu Dhabi - finished on the podium six times, was the only driver to finish all 20 grands prix and scored points in 19 of the races.
"I just tried to do my best and to score points of course you have to finish the race. We had a good car and I didn't get involved in too many incidents with other people," he said.
"I didn't really have any expectations for the year, so I think it's been a pretty good season. We've had some good results and we've finished every race. Certainly from a race reliability perspective it's been excellent."
"In terms of results, it could have been better, but it could have been an awful lot worse. Overall, I'm pretty happy."

Gallery: Artist Jan Vormann Uses Legos to 'Repair' War-Damaged Building...
Nothing attests to humans' instinctual love of making stuff and taking it apart more than the Lego brick. The plastic toy has been featured in films and music videos and is the basis of some serious modern art projects — including Jan Vormann's ongoing "Dispatchwork" pieces in Berlin and Bocchignano, Italy. Vormann identifies damaged buildings and plugs the gaps with brightly colored Lego bricks.
It's not uncommon for passersby to feel the urge to play with Legos and join Vormann as he works, giving the project a communal aspect. But the work isn't kids' stuff: It takes structural know-how to "repair" organic shapes with Lego blocks.
The work also gestures to World War II, when air raids created many of the buildings' nicks and craters. Curiously, Legos — which first became popular in the late 1940s — seem to lend themselves to art about WWII, including Polish artist Zbigniew Libera's darkly ironic Lego construction kits of concentration camps.
Vormann's work is more uplifting, wouldn't you say?

This is such a great idea and terribly creative. However, I would like to know why Germany\'s buildings are still showing this kind of damage when they have had nearly 70 years, give or take a few, to repair the damage they themselves caused. My sister went to Germany a few years ago and it was pretty evident that the Germans *blame* America for the damage caused to their cities and monuments. Somehow this just doesn\'t add up. Yes, there were air raids, but there would not have been if Germany\'s leaders were not committing mass genocide and other war crimes. This would be like Atlanta telling the North that the burning of their city during the Civil War was, inherently, the North\'s fault.

General Colin Powell's latest book, It Worked for Me: In Life and Leadership, published in May, made news with its revelation that there was never any considered debate in the Bush administration about the war in Iraq. But the book has more to offer in the vivid experiences and lessons learned that have shaped the legendary public service career of the four-star general and former secretary of state. At its heart are Powell's "Thirteen Rules" — notes he gathered over the years and that now form the basis of his leadership presentations given throughout the world. Among them: "Get mad, then get over it" and "Share credit." The general answered a few questions for AARP.
Q: In your new book, It Worked for Me: In Life and Leadership, you present 13 rules. One is, "Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it." This could also apply to someone who takes his physical attributes too seriously.
A: Don't I know it. When I look in the mirror, I see a 75-year-old guy with a back problem. But I have worked hard not to change much, because it gives people a sense of constancy and stability. I still email with college friends from almost 60 years ago. They ground me, and remind me of who I was and still am.
Q: What's your advice to younger men about aging well?
A: Work hard, but live a balanced life. Family is very important to take you out of your elevated position and make you just another guy. And have outside interests. My hobby for many years was working on old Volvos. I could think more clearly putting on an alternator than sitting in my office grinding out paper.
Q: What makes a person attractive?
A: There's a physical component to it. People are attractive who look attractive. But I think the old expression "skin deep" is still pretty accurate. I have met a lot of people in my time who on first impression seem very, very physically attractive, both men and women. But I never rested only on that. I want to see what the person is really like. So attractiveness has to be physical attractiveness, emotional attractiveness and attraction that comes from in-depth knowledge of the person.
Next: Powell's impressions on meeting the King of Rock 'n' Roll. »

RICHMOND, Ky. (April 26, 2011) - The ETSU baseball team posted a season-best 23 hits as the Bucs cruised to an 18-7 win over Eastern Kentucky in the first game of the series Tuesday afternoon at Turkey Hughes Field in Richmond, Ky.
The Bucs (24-15, 12-10 A-Sun) saw six starters post three hits in the contest led by centerfielder Matthew Scruggs (Knoxville, Tenn.) who was a perfect 3-for-3 only needing a triple to complete the cycle with four RBI and scored three runs.
Freshman Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.) was impressive in relief for ETSU throwing 5.2 scoreless innings to close out the game and pick up his second win of the year. The outing was the longest of the career for Freeman who struck out four and limited EKU (14-27, 6-9 OVC) to four hits on the afternoon.
The Bucs exploded for six runs on nine hits in the top of the first to take a 6-0 lead. Paul Hoilman (Johnson City, Tenn.) and Dylan Pratt (Johnson City, Tenn.) each had a two-run homer in the inning.
In the top of the second, ETSU took a commanding 11-0 lead after a two-run single by shortstop Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) and a three-run homer by Scruggs.
Doane picked up his third RBI of the game in the top of the third as Derek Trent (Kingsport, Tenn.) came in to score on a ball hit to third by Doane to give the Buccaneers a 12-0 advantage.
The Colonels cut the ETSU lead to 12-5 in the bottom of the third as EKU plated five runs on six hits highlighted by a three-run homer by Bryan Soloman.
Michael Garcia added two runs for Eastern Kentucky in the fourth as he singled in Austin Grisham and A.J. Jamison to make the score 12-7.
Freshman Zach Waters (Woodstock, Ga.) gave the Bucs an insurance run in the sixth as he brought home Scruggs on a sac fly to left center to increase the ETSU lead to 13-7.
In the top of the eighth, the Bucs added five runs to take an 11 run lead, 18-7, after a sac fly by Scruggs and hits by Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.), Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) and Hoilman.
The Bucs are back in action tomorrow at 2 p.m. as they close out the series with Eastern Kentucky. For more information on Buccaneer baseball, visit ETSUBucs.com or follow the Bucs on Twitter at http://twitter.com/ETSUAthletics.

Goals: The Soviet Union's twin Vega spacecraft were designed primarily to deliver advanced landers and balloons to Venus, but the return of comet Halley to the inner solar system provided an opportunity for additional science.
Accomplishments: The spacecraft transmitted 700 pictures of Halley's comet, which were of greater clarity than those of Vega 1, probably because it encountered less dust. However, Vega 2 sustained considerably more damage than its twin during the flyby. Seven instruments were damaged, though none were incapacitated.

Did a search on CAD programs but didn't find as much activity as I'd expect. I've been searching for a good program that would suit my needs and found Google Sketchup 8.
A free program, however I liked it enough to buy the Pro program. I used to play with other cad programs before including the King of all programs called Autocad. However, I'm not designing the Space Shuttle.
It's a lot of fun being able to design your project on the computer before building it. I'm in the process of learning the program, and have found that Youtube, and other support groups are awesome for this program.
Attached is a jpg export picture of a metal cabinet I'm building/welding to fit on top of my toolbox.

Go to Google and get it from the source. Sketchup 8 is the latest version.
Once the Google page is open just search for Sketchup and it will take you to the right place to download it.
For learning, there is a site called sketchupforwoodworkers.com that offers great training videos free online. Although the site name implies that it is just for woodworkers it really does well for what we make too. Both Sketchup and this training site are free, so try them out.

Gallery: Korean Tower Boasts One of World's Most Efficient Solar Facade...
Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture recently announced the groundbreaking of the solar-powered Federation of Korean Industries Tower in Seoul, which will incorporate an advanced photovoltaic wall system that reduces energy usage while generating power. The 800 foot-tall tower will feature one of the most efficient solar electric facades in the world, and the overall added cost to the client is nearly zero.
Brilliant in its simplicity, the accordion-style exterior wall will contain building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) facing skyward, while glazing is angled toward the ground. This setup exploits the potential of the panels by giving them a preferred orientation, and the glass will be able to reflect a dramatically larger percentage of summer sun, thus reducing cooling loads. By taking advantage of a generous renewable tax credit, the tower will be paid seven times more for its electricity than what it pays. Coupled with an optimized angle, the solar panels' efficiency will be unheard of for a vertical face mount.
Several floors will have full glazing in the upper portion to break the monotony of the building's face, and also to allow deeper light penetration into the building. The overall cost of engineering the façade was not significantly more than a normal system, but the efficiency gains will provide a quick payback to the building owner. An adjacent conference center is a shaped like a giant glass oval, creating a counterpoint to the tall, rectangular tower.

The Mogalakwena Football for Hope Center empowers young men and women with HIV prevention and leadership training.
Center opened!
The center was officially opened on International Women's Day, March 8, 2013, and as such, the first players to hit the field were the local girl's team. With many representitives from local government, FIFA, and streetfootballworld, the opening ceremony was amazingly successful. To read more about the event on the AFH website.
Host Organization:
South African Red Cross Society (SARCS)
To be an effective, high profile, and dynamic humanitarian organisation, that is sensitive to the human needs of the most vulnerable communities, whilst acting in accordance with the fundamental principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
About the Centre Host:
South African youth today struggle to lead successful lives in a country faced with high levels of crime. In pursuit of developing a better South Africa for its young people, the South African Red Cross Society (SARCS) seeks to shatter the violence through youth development and life skills programs using the game of football.
The South African Red Cross Society was founded in 1921 and became part of the International Federation of Red Cross in 1928. While much of the organization's focus has been on disaster management and HIV/AIDS relief, SARCS is creating innovative ways to target positive youth behavior change to counteract the social crimes and violence that have created neighborhoods of broken families and challenging environments for young people who wish to grow up and succeed.
With initiatives like 'Soccer Against Violence,' SARCS programs are now led in over 140 schools and the organization looks forward to supporting more program growth in its regions.
Themba Dumisani Mekwa
The centre facility, consisting of a 173 metre square building and 20 x 40 metre football pitch is placed on site at the edges of an existing footpath. Building and pitch are bisecting by footpath taking advantage of the pedestrian thoroughfare to and from Town centre from the Phola Park settlement. Placing both components on this avenue creates an opportunity for the centre to be incorporated within the daily life of the community. Added advantages of siting is to limit scope for site clearing, excavations and to allow for cost effective surface water drainage, reducing overall costs. Municipal services may also be reticulated from across Dudu Madisha Drive.
While the FFH pitch is orientated in a north - south direction, our building is tilted 30 degrees on its axis, opening up to the football pitch. Views overlooking the length of the pitch are now obtained.
Most notably you will recognise the incorporation of containers as 'Unifying Element' and additional storage into the design of the building. The latter creates a shaded court for the multi-purpose space while the former, due to its verticality and colourways will draw reference to the football pitch while making an enclosure for the entrance forecourt.
The building is a simple rectangle shape with the multi-purpose space pronouncing itself outward, gesturing to the pitch. High activity areas are accessed from the south and open in that direction for light and views. The Computer Room is sheltered, placed away from the pitch, yet announces itself to the street edge. Circulation is both internal and external, on the north to south and east to west axis. As people move around the building, spaces create opportunities for external 'chill areas.' Here conversations or maraba-raba, a local game can take place. A 'braai' area to be commissioned by the Centre Host will add a much needed space for entertainment to supplement the multi-purpose space.
Education and health programmes accommodated by the centre will allow for group based learning and counselling for voluntary testing for HIV/AIDS.. A reading and homework area will ensure that community children can spend their after school time between work and play. The new facility will open its doors to service the community, making it a centre for all.
Sustainable Features:
Sound thermal properties are required to accommodate average year-round temperatures of 23 degrees celsius during the daytime peaking at 30+ degrees in summer months and acute temperature drops during winter nights and mornings. Through use of roof overhangs and shaded court, high occupancy areas are sheltered from direct north light. Appertures are strategically placed to harness warm light during winter months and to allow the building to 'breathe' in summer. Service zones are placed north and west fronting creating a buffer from intense heat periods during summer.
A building with proper thermal properties makes for comfortable usage, reducing energy consumption from the use of electric heaters and air conditioning. The centre building will utlise Eco-insulation, a donated recycled paper material, to curb the effects of heat loss through the roof. Cavity walls will serve collectively as a moisture barrier and provide thermal massing creating a cooler internal environment. Donations will be sought for either insulation of the cavity walls or the concrete surface bed to further regulate the effects of the climate on the building.
The roof slopes to the north for future incorporation of solar panels. Where ever possible the design will prioritise the use of materials sourced in and around the site or from local industry. This will include brick masonry, timber roof structure, cement etc. Rain water harvesting is a priority and although funds will unlikely be available, the design will incorporate an underground water tank with pump for irrigation of the proposed vegetable garden and for tree planting.
