what to buy
Coffee experts can't stress this strongly enough: A great cup of coffee stars with the grinder. You can have the highest-end coffee or espresso maker money can buy, but if you don't start with a perfect, fresh grind from high-quality beans, you may as well save your cash. In fact, CoffeeGeek.com has worked up a handy chart for how to plan your espresso maker/coffee grinder budget to get the optimal setup.
In the preamble to that guide, Mark Prince notes, "I've often said that I can make a better shot of espresso with a $200 espresso machine and a $400 grinder than I can with a $2,000 espresso machine and no grinder (or a blade grinder)... and it's absolutely true."
However, plenty of people manage to soldier on with a less expensive or less high-end coffee grinder and are very satisfied with the resulting brew. And don't forget, you still need a good coffee maker as well. We cover coffee makers, single cup coffee makers and espresso machines in separate reports. Check them out to find the perfect pairing for your grinder.
Blade grinders chop beans with a spinning blade attached to a motor. These models are relatively cheap as far as countertop appliances go -- most cost less than $30. They tend to be simple, plastic, push-button machines, although some have multiple settings. Blade grinders are also useful for other tasks such as grinding spices, seeds or nuts. If you do so, however, the grinder must be cleaned thoroughly between uses to avoid mixing flavors in your coffee or spices. Some users report keeping two inexpensive blade grinders handy: one for coffee and one for spices. And let us make one thing perfectly clear: Plenty of folks are perfectly happy with the way a $20 blade grinder grinds their coffee beans, especially drip-coffee drinkers.
Burr coffee grinders are for the serious coffee aficionado. Burr grinders have two gears that slowly crush the beans into particles. Most have ceramic burrs, which are thought to stay sharper longer than other materials. Ceramic burr grinders can come with either conical burrs or flat plate burrs. Some don't like flat plate burrs, saying they can heat up too much, but most high-end grinders have technology to keep that from happening. Many experts say there is no difference in grind quality between the two styles, so that is not a make-or-break consideration, just a difference in style
Burr grinders are more expensive than blade units, but most experts agree that the added expense is worth it to get the most precise grind -- a necessity for specialty coffees and brewing techniques like espresso, French press, pour over, or Turkish. Many burr grinders have upscale metal constructions, and they have a solid, weighty feel. Small, portable burr grinders start as low as $30 or so for a manual model, but can go up to $700 or more, depending on the number of settings, build quality and grind consistency. Many owners opting for the top-priced models say they expect their grinders to last a lifetime.
Some upscale grinders have dosers – a chamber that is separated into sections. The sections rotate so that each one can be filled with a single dose of ground coffee. Although dosers make it possible to grind, hold and dispense enough grounds for several cups of espresso, home baristas who only plan to pull one or two espresso shots a day probably don't need one. Even those who use their espresso maker more often say they prefer doserless grinders because they don't like the idea of the beans sitting in the machine and perhaps getting stale. Doserless machines are also easier to clean.
One last consideration when you're looking for a top burr coffee grinder is the difference between stepped and stepless grinders. Stepped grinders have preset notches to make it easier to switch between different types of grinds. So, for example, instead of trying to finesse where you want to set the grinder for drip coffee and then use it later for pour over, it has numbers or settings for that. Stepless grinders, on the other hand, give you an infinite number of options for your grind, so you have total control of every part of the process. These are more difficult to use overall, owners say, although not if you don't switch among different grinds very often.
To determine our Best-Reviewed coffee grinders we analyzed expert and owner reviews as well as professional tests. Some are older tests and reviews, but are still valid because many of these coffee grinders are so durable and so popular that they have been around for many years without any significant changes. Mark Prince's tests and analyses at CoffeeGeek.com were an invaluable resource, as was the expertise and hands on experience of Lauren Crabbe writing for Wired.com and Liz Clayton at SeriousEats.com. We also looked at a few roundups where testing methodology was unclear, but, like some of the other resources we list above, were done in collaboration with outside coffee experts, which boosts their credibility. Just as important as the experts' experience is owner reviews. When it comes to their coffee, there are some extremely knowledgeable amateurs out there who give excellent feedback. It's also interesting to see what newbies have to say when they take their brand-new grinder for a spin.
Elsewhere in this report:
Best Blade Coffee/Spice Grinder: This is a case where inexpensive does not equate to cheap. These little workhorses can grind coffee beans, spices, nuts and seeds; one would be a great addition to your kitchen.
Best Burr Coffee Grinder: These top-of-the-line coffee grinders are for the serious coffee aficionado and are an absolute must for the best-tasting brews, say experts.
Best Manual Coffee Mills: Manual coffee grinders are just small, burr grinders that deliver high performance at a very low price.
Best Coffee Grinder for Espresso: Espresso drinkers are the hardest coffee fans to please. For them, we found the highest-rated coffee grinders to achieve the perfect grind.

Is it possiable to have a icon on the bar that will run a hotkey trigger instead of pressing the hotkey.
e.g. I have a notes program (stickies) that when you press Win+S opens a new sticky is it possiable to add this hotkey to the tool bar so you just click a icon and it does the hotkey for you, i would find this very good as have alot of programs that use hotkeys but would much perfer to click a icon that would emulate the pressing of keys.
i have alot of programs that i have hotkeys set too but much perfer to just click a icon for it.

With all my plugins updated to fscript 1.20, I get these problems:
1- farr seems to send strings to the clipboard and strings are immediately pasted to the presently focused apps (e.g. the "search" alias does that, BUT note that the actual search is also performed --> browser opens, shows results, etc.)
2- some plugins just stopped working. (Like the Google Translate one : the farr window flashes briefly and I can see that the internet explorer blank page is displayed in farr's result area)
All my plugins + farr should be up to date... Hopefully.
For now, I went back to v 1.9... Everything seems to be working now.

Comments about 3-Piece Drop Leaf Bar Table Wine Rack and Stool Set:
Love the look of the table. Very good use of space. You get a lot for the compact space. We like the wine rack and use the shelf space for dishes and cups. Enough for quiet dinner with two but pull out the leaf and gives decent extra space for guests. Downside is that while there are not many parts to put together and fairly simple assembly instructions, some screws or holes were not sized correctly. We were required to use two washers but had to omit one a few times when the screws were too short to fit in some holes. We don't have it up against a wall and would like the option to add a support back to keep bottles secure. Those are the only cons for us. Would purchase again. Table fits our needs and style.

Imagine how this - an all-electric aircraft using superconducting motors - would revolutionize air travel, military technology, etc.. Oh, and there's no pollutants emitted too (and it would be much quieter).
"An all-electric aircraft could soon appear over the horizon thanks to high-flying scientific research published today in the Institute of Physics' journal, Superconductor Science and Technology. The new type of aircraft, currently on the drawing board, could be far more efficient than conventional aircraft, produce less greenhouse emissions, and be quieter.
We could potentially build a superconducting motor and generator smaller than a gas turbine, which would make possible electric propulsion," says Masson. Electrical propulsion would not only decrease emissions but also reduce to a minimum the needs for maintenance as all hydraulic systems would be eliminated, he adds. The team has designed such systems with high fidelity models and optimization tools.
Masson adds that the team is now looking for an industrial partner to build a prototype of the superconducting "turbofan". "The technology is there," he says, "it is a matter of finding a source of funding."

James Franco Dropped By Advertising Campaigns Over His Gay Themed Films
In a red carpet interview last week at SXSW, James Franco suggested that he has been dropped from three advertising campaigns due to his involvement in two gay-oriented films he put out at Sundance, and not due to his image as the companies reported. He produced Kink and co-directed and starred in a forthcoming Travis Matthews film, Interior.Leather Bar. Franco suggested that this exemplifies the homophobia that still exists in American media. As many advertisers have already begun to notice, gays and lesbians will only continue to become an increasingly visible part of American society. While the exact reason for Franco having been dropped from these campaigns is unclear at this time, the depiction of raw gay sexuality as portrayed in these films was no doubt part of the conversation. Other explicit films depicting heterosexual sex rarely if ever raise an eyebrow among the public, and neither should these.
Gay-Themed Ads Are Becoming More Mainstream
Above is an article posted by the Huffington Post regarding the new Kindle ad that features a gay couple. I've been delighted to see this Kindle commercial running fairly often. What Kindle did really well in this ad was incorporate a gay couple into a story line that didn't center around their orientation. They essentially normalized this couple and more importantly they weren't necessarily the punchline. This is the best type of integration for LGBT couples in advertisements because it doesn't play off their perceived differences as a joke. Eventually more same-sex couples will seamlessly be incorporated into advertising, and it's novelty will wear off with every ad (which the article refers to a bit as 'going mainstream'), but that's simply the process of normalization which I think should be the ultimate goal.

Joining the Webb Family: A Review of the Mentorship Program
By Kathryn Chaffee '16
Fall 2012 marked the debut of the freshman mentorship program. It consisted of select returning students each taking an incoming freshman under wing to ease the newcomer's transition. Regarding its success, the verdict is still out, with one exception. For junior Elli Wunder '14 and me, the program was an overwhelming triumph.
It is guaranteed that every incoming student will possess some degree of intellect; it is not guaranteed he or she will possess the confidence or basic skills necessary for meaningful social interaction. Take me, for instance. I needed confidence. Coming to Webb, I secretly wanted to connect with a peer. Timidity, however, made realization of this desire rather difficult. My first introduction to Elli came in the form of an unanticipated Facebook friend request during my first week at Webb. The blurred female shown in the profile picture was thoroughly unfamiliar. I ignored the request and crossed my fingers that I would not later have to face some student offended by the status denial. I mention this introduction for its irony. The female I was so quick to write off would become my first close friend at Webb.
The moment I met Elli, I was intrigued. One would be correct in calling me an "odd duck." I quickly recognized in Elli, however, a fellow duck. It was shortly thereafter that Elli informed me she was to be my mentor. The program was news to me, but sensing some opportunity, I ran with it.
Out of the mentorship program, I had hoped to gain a source for information and an introduction into the social scene. Elli provided both and more. Ultimately, she became not a mentor but a friend. I say ultimately. Really, the transition seemed instantaneous.
Together, Elli and I have reveled in sarcasm and witty repartee, logged hours in the Long Island Sound, and explored the independent, cultural world. No written description could do these experiences justice.
In closing, I shall say the following. Shortly into my fall semester, I learned that sophomore Cody Owen was responsible for the mentorship pairings. Currently, he is one of four sophomores studying in Southampton. Of you, the reader, I ask this. Come next semester, remind me to thank him. He, with his remarkable social aptitude, bestowed upon me a most meaningful gift. Without him, without the program, I would have missed out.

Newbie here. Just bought a 211 Autoset. What a nice machine. I have an old Big Tex 16' trailer. I'm sick of dealing with the ramps. I also hate that any vehicle I want to tow that has low clearance hi-centers unless I jack the tongue way up in the air. I want to convert to a tilt bed. I'm thinking of something like the Speedloader MX or one of the Mauer tilt beds. http://www.kdstrailersplus.com/mauer...r_features.HTM I have no experience with hydraulics but would like to have this with a hydraulic lift rather than a jack.
Any Suggestions?

I've seen a few of these trailer not powered. Just a hydraulic push / pull cylinder with a single hose to each fitting. Un-pin the trailer walk down the trailer to lower, drive car / equipment up the trailer to lower, reset pin, chain / strap car / equipment down, away you go.Caution!
These are "my" views based only on my experiences in my little bitty world.

Thirty five years or so ago I made a redneck tilt trailer. Cash was tight, young family, old dirt track car, so I made it from the frame of a mobile home, axles and all.
Mobile home springs are stiff so they worked almost like not having any springs at all.
I put a pivot point in front of the front axle for the tongue assembly. The way it worked was I would remove the catch and the trailer would tilt. It only took a hundred pounds to make it tilt back up for securing the tongue assumbly to the trailer.
What I would do is pull the catch. Then I would place wood blocks in front of the front tires. I would pull the trailer forward enough to rest the front axle tires on the blocks. I would then back the car off and it would tilt when the weight shifted to the rear. Loading it up involved driving the car onto the trailer until the weight transfer brought the trailer frame and tongue assembly together. The catch was locked and I was ready to tie it down and haul butt.
A couple of years later I sold the racecar and trailer. The new owner of the trailer paid me to attach a hydraulic jack to replace using the blocks. I used a replacement cylinder with a hand pump off of an engine cherry picker.
When I was young I didn't know everything I know now. But then, well, I didn't need to........

McLaren technical director Paddy Lowe says that every track should have two DRS zones in 2013...
McLaren technical director Paddy Lowe says that every track should have two DRS zones in 2013.
FIA race director Charlie Whiting announced last week that from next season teams will no longer be afforded unlimited use of DRS on Fridays and Saturdays.
With this in mind, Lowe believes that in order for there to remain an incentive for teams to maintain their current ratios, multiple DRS zones are needed at every grand prix. This season, only four of the 19 circuits - Melbourne, Monza, Buddh International Circuit and Yas Marina - had two DRS zones.
"We believe that, particularly if [FIA race director] Charlie [Whiting] arranges for two DRS zones at every circuit, which is what he's committed to doing, that this will give enough incentive to ratio the car appropriately - pretty much as we do now, the same as if we had free use of DRS," Lowe explained during a Vodefone McLaren Mercedes phone-in.
The Briton believes that DRS is a "tremendous solution" to the long-standing problem of overtaking.
"At some circuits it doesn't [help]. India I think was a good example of that - surprisingly, actually, because it's got a good long straight there, it didn't seem to allow overtaking," he said.
"And then you get other circuits where arguably it's too easy. It might be that we should look at that and try and trim the direction on those outlying circuits. But in general I think it works well.
"I don't hear people talking about it being some sort of fix or artificial solution. I think it's something that the driver has to play tactically and use with tremendous skill.
"We saw that on Sunday with Lewis and Sebastian. That was a fair fight, a very very close duel. Ultimately Lewis got past using DRS but it wasn't easy and everybody admired the skill with which he did it. So I think generally it's working very very well."

According to the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention, losses due to thefts from retail stores alone amount to more than 35 million a day. The Army & Air Force Exchange Service, which has contributed more than $2.4 billion to morale, welfare and recreation programs in the past 10 years, continues to focus its efforts on reducing theft to maximize the investment authorized shoppers make in their Exchange benefit.
Through an aggressive "Shoplifting Awareness Community Outreach" program targeted at youth, closed circuit televisions with DVR technology and high-tech Electronic Article Surveillance, the Exchange took "a bite out of crime" at its facilities last year as shoplifting cases dropped 12.7 percent, from 5,432 in 2010 to 4,742.
The value of merchandise involved in these incidents also dropped, from $533,760 to $529,440 in 2011.
"Because of the toll shoplifting takes on retail, shoppers typically pay 1.5 cents more per dollar as a result," said the Exchange's Vice President of Loss Prevention Rick Koloski. "Our proactive, and visible, efforts to prevent shoplifting have resulted in three consecutive years of decreases and, as a result, a stronger benefit for those we serve."
If shoplifting is suspected, the Exchange Loss Prevention office turns the issue over to local law enforcement. In addition to possible disciplinary action and/or criminal prosecution, the Federal Claims Collection Act allows the Exchange to enact a flat, administrative cost (Civil Recovery) of $200. There may be further fees, in addition to the Civil Recovery Program, depending on the condition of the stolen merchandise.

When Philbin was hired, there was a lot of speculation on who would fit in to his system, and would not. After nine games, I think we can sort this out.
Fits- Pouncey, Jerry, Martin, Bess, Hartline, Tannehill, Miller.
Misfits- Cog, Long,
Combo's- Bush shoulda been a VG fit but, has not been. DT is questionable. Fasano is both, as making an overall impact but, not being what he was in yardage before. Moore showed some good things but, I think we will go to Devlin as a backup.
Tag- We can franchise one player. IF we choose to not want to keep long, we can tag him for around $14M and look for a trade (High stakes poker), IF it's Smith, this year's tag was $10.6M, and hope for a trade. Bush would be $7.7 (based on this year) and not an option.
On D, Odrick is out of position but, was not that good as a 3-4 DE. He has looked average overall but, could be better in replacing Starks, and playing between Wake and Soliai.
What would you do?

Posted in Dr. Ying Competition
This weekend is the 15th Annual Dr. Nelson Ying Science Competition! Every day this week, we'll spotlight one of the five finalists.
Rikhav Shah is a sophomore at Lake Highland Preparatory School. Rikhav has been fortunate enough to conduct research at the NanoScience Technology Center at the University of Central Florida. For the past two years, he has been studying the possibilities of developing a nanoparticle-based probe for detection of heavy metal contaminants in drinking water.
Nanotechnology is the study and application of materials at a molecular level. Rikhav is interested in how a material's properties can be taken advantage of at that scale to solve problems.
Last year, he presented his research and won awards at the Dr. Nelson Ying Orange County Science Exposition, Florida State Science & Engineering Fair, and Intel ISEF. This year, continuing his research, he was one of the grand prize winners at the county expo, and is looking forward to participating again at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair later this spring.

A former Fort Wayne area resident is in the spotlight in Indianapolis.
Fred the mastodon's skeleton, found in 1998 in Allen County on a family farm, was unveiled at a private event Thursday night in his new Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites home. Fred, who likely died 13,000 years ago, will be the star this fall of the museum's new exhibit, "Indiana's Ice Age Giants: The Mystery of Mammoths and Mastodons."
In 1998 Dan Buesching was digging below the surface of a pond on his family company's 350-acre site in the 9100 block of West Cook Road when he hit historical pay dirt. Workers dug a little deeper and saw white teeth and realized it was part of a skull.
After a two-year dig by archeologists, 80 percent of the skeleton came together, and the reason why it died. Marked or missing bones indicate it was killed by another mastodon, then butchered for food. Ice-age humans often preserved meat by storing it under cool water.
Since then, Fred has had casts made of his old bones, which have been put on display. Now, he's all put back together and stands about 9 feet tall on a custom-made metal frame. The cost of the project is being covered by the LDI 100th Anniversary Celebration Cultural Partnership Gift Program and donors who purchased mastodon bones starting from $50 for small bones to the $20,000 skull, which was purchased by members of the Buesching family. Bones are still available for sale.
Fred's bones were donated to the museum in 2006.
