TORONTO - Steubenville Catholic Central baseball coach Don Young has had a simple mantra all year.
"We just have to get better every day," he said. "We looked really ugly really early in the year. But, we are getting better and here we are today.
"It goes through Toronto. We're just trying to get back to where it goes through Central and Toronto."

AT THIRD — Steubenville Catholic Central's Johnny DiCarlantonio and Toronto's Austin Lucas look for the ball after DiCarlantonio reached third on a steal and an overthrow. Central won, 6-2.
That was a 6-2 victory over Toronto at the Knight Baseball Complex Saturday in the OVAC Class 2A semifinals.
The 11th victory in 15 outings gives the Crusaders a 5 p.m. Friday date with Shadyside, a 4-3 winner over Bridgeport, at Vaccaro Field.
"I'm just proud of what the kids have done," Young said.
Fact Box
Catholic Central 6, Toronto 2
Catholic Central 042 000 0 - 6 7 1
Toronto 002 000 0 - 2 3 3
CATHOLIC CENTRAL (11-4): Murphy (WP, 8K, 7BB) and Laukert; T. Barber D; Colabella S; Porreca S, RBI; Laukert S; DeFallo D, 2RBI; Merriman S, RBI; M. Barber S, RBI.
TORONTO (16-2): Owens (LP, 10K, 4BB) and Solomon; B. Glenn S; Lucas D, S, 2RBI.
Sophomore Chris Murphy went the distance. He stuck out eight, but walked seven. He allowed three hits, two to Austin Lucas.
"Murph didn't have his best stuff today," said Young. "His back was bothering him. He just gutted it out. He kept after it. Everybody fed off of that. It was a total team effort."
Catholic Central plated four in the second and two in the third for a 6-0 lead.
Stone Romano walked, Aleks Porreca singled and Kyle Laukert loaded the sacks with a bunt single in the second inning.
A Joe DeFallo double brought home two. Josh Merriman's groundout plated Laukert and Michael Barber's single brought home DeFallo.
The Crusaders scored twice in the third. Tony Barber reached on an error and moved to third on Brenton Colabella's single.
Colabella stole second and Barber scored on the bad throw. Colabella later came home on Aleks Porreca's sacrifice fly.
Toronto came up with a pair in the bottom of the third.
With two outs, Murphy walked Chez Glenn, Tyler Owens and Brad Melville to load the sacks. Lucas followed with a shot to the left-center gap to bring home two.
Blaze Glenn reached on a single and Chez Glenn walked to start the fifth. But, the Crusaders turned a 6-4-3 double play to squash the rally.
The Red Knights had runners on first and second with one out in the sixth, but Murphy got out of the jam and retired the side in order in the seventh.
"We got down early, but our kids kept competing the whole game," said Red Knights coach Brian Perkins. "We had our opportunities, but didn't take advantage of them. Other than one, we didn't get the hit when we needed it.
"Although today didn't work out for us, as long as our kids keep competing and battling, it will work out for us down the line."
Tyler Owens took the loss. He fanned 10 and walked four.
The Crusaders visit Martins Ferry Monday, Toronto Tuesday and host Big Red Wednesday.
The Red Knights welcome Bridgeport Wednesday after its rematch with Central.

My web server was down for about 30 min. The next day (30~ hours from the event) I noticed major drop in traffic from Google. The normal traffic to my site is about 2500 unique/day and after the event it dropped to 400/day. Other than this event nothing happened. Can this be the reason?
Leading up to the event search traffic may have been higher than it is now and not have to do with your server having problems. Just like traffic goes up during the holidays. I guess it would depend on the event if it was locally or nationally promoted. 30 minutes of downtime shouldn't affect your traffic.
That depends on if Google tried to crawl it while it was down. If it did, it may have pushed it down or pulled it from its list thinking that it was a dead link.
Google creates cache version of web pages, so even if its down it will still be ranked, but if its down for an extended amount of time a competitor can easily slip ahead (usually this happens when a competitor updates an existing web page that is listed in the search results).

I have a question like how can we mathematically prove that for a general matrix Conjugate Gradient method will always converge within n steps in exact arithmetic ? where n is the size of the matrix.
The CG method, like other Krylov methods, finds a "best" solution to $A x=b$ on successively larger subspaces. In particular, the n'th subspace is $\text{span}(x_0, Ax_0, A^2 x_0, ..., A^n x_0)$, and "best" means the point where the residual is orthogonal to the subspace.
Since you keep adding vectors to your subspace and the full space is finite dimensional, eventually there are only 2 possibilities. Either
1) the subspace fills up the whole space, in which case the "best" solution corresponds to the true solution, or
2) at some point $A^{k+1} x_0 \in \text{span}(x_0, Ax_0, A^2 x_0, ..., A^k x_0)$. This might seem bad, but it's actually a "happy coincidence" since it means $\text{span}(x_0, Ax_0, A^2 x_0, ..., A^k x_0)$ is a direct sum of $k$ eigenspaces. Everything that starts in there will stay in there under application of $A$, and everything orthogonal to it will stay orthogonal. (note that $A$ is symmetric so it's eigenvectors are orthogonal)
If the true solution is in this eigenspace we would have found it, and if it isnt' we can just pick a point orthogonal to the eigenspace and start again, having reduced the problem by $k$ dimensions.
When you use CG (or just about any of the common Krylov subspace methods), what you are really doing is solving a certain polynomial approximation problem. Suppose you are trying to solve the problem $Ax = b$ using CG with starting guess $x_0$. Let $x_k$ be the $k^\textrm{th}$ CG iterate, and let $e_k = x - x_k$ be the error at step $k$. Let $\lambda_1, \ldots \lambda_n$ be the eigenvalues of $A$. Then it can be shown that
$$ ||e_k||_A = \inf_{p \in P_k} || p_k(A)e_0 ||_A \leq ||e_0||_A \inf_{p \in P_k} \max_{1 \leq j \leq n} |p_k(\lambda_j)|, $$
where $P_k$ is the space of polynomials of degree at most $k$ and $||\cdot||_A$ is the vector norm defined by
$$ ||v||_A = \sqrt{v^*Av}. $$
The error in the CG iteration is thus determined by one's ability to generate polynomials that are "small" on the spectrum of $A$. At the $n^\textrm{th}$ step, we are allowed to draw the optimal polynomial from $P_n$. Since $A$ has at most $n$ distinct eigenvalues, you can choose $p_n$ to have roots at all of the eigenvalues of $A$, which reduces the error to zero.
As a corollary, if $A$ has fewer than $n$ distinct eigenvalues, the iteration will actually converge in fewer than $n$ steps!
See Lecture 38 in Trefethen and Bau's Numerical Linear Algebra for an excellent discussion of this. The document in the link posted by Inquest is very good as well.

I found the following programs give a good start with new languages:
Conway's Game of Life
Easy to implement. Gives you a good start with simple usage of container classes. Doesn't necessarily need graphics for output of results.
In addition you could write a 3D version of it, and use a game engine for output (eg something simple like Panda3D)
Sudoku Solver
Slightly more complex. Complexity can be adjusted to your needs. Either just cancel out numbers and stop when that's not possible anymore or go on and implement a search tree to solve more complex problems. Problems and solutions for Sudokus on every level of difficulty for testing your program are available on the web in abundance. Same for material on possible strategies.
Problems on every level of difficulty you can want. And compare your solutions to those of experienced programmers in every major programming language.
I'm not sure what you mean with 'what are some good software to try ...', but I can recommend the book 'seven languages in seven weeks'
It gives you a good starting point to try new languages.
Just log on to any of the following sites and see if you are up to the coding challenges they present: SPOJ, TOPCODER etc.
Most of these sites provided you with the option of coding in multiple programming languages so you can use the one you are most familiar with.
And if you are a master at your game, there's always ICPC.
I would say any project that meets the following three requirements:
For Beginners
String Manipulation:
Random Number Manipulation:
Matrix and Basic Graphics
Anything you like enough to keep doing. The most learning is done in that last 1% that is commonly ignored on a side project, but is a very important part of a work product.
As a result, it's a very personal choice what the project could be. That's why there's so many great OS projects out there, and why everyone says that they matter so much when they're on your resume/CV: that person worked hard on it and learned lots from working on that last 1% of it to make it usable by others and enjoys what they do.

Sparked by an article in The Wall Street Journal written by Matthew Futterman, 'The Measure of an Olympian', I decided to research different fitness tracking devices. The Fitbit Flex was the device worn by the three Olympians, and the common thread was how many calories were expended at the end of the day based on activity.
After going to the Fitbit, Nike Fuel Band, and Jawbone sites, I had had enough of reading the words 'estimate and guess' over and over. Would you buy a scale that estimates your weight? I want a scale that measures, this is not a guessing game. You can only change what you can measure. While reading responses from the help sites of these products regarding cycling and indoor cycling, the ultimate answer was, when riding a bike, the only way to calculate energy out was to utilize a power meter.
To quote directly from the Spinpower manual, written by Angie Sturtevant, "For Spinning students, the actual mechanical energy expended on the Spinner can be accurately measured in kilojoules, since the power meter measures the wattage generated. For this reason, Spinning participants can now truthfully measure energy out based on kilojoules, and incorporate energy in based on food calories." Notice how many times the word 'measure' is used. Estimates or guesses are not a part of the equation. The Spinner Blade Ion is the only bike in the indoor fitness cycling arena that accurately measures power. As a Spinning enthusiast, or instructor, strive to keep up with new advances in technology and recommend upgrading your fleet to the new Spinner Blade Ion. No estimating device needed, leave your bracelets at home, and know the truth.

Black Forest Cake/Schwarzwälderkirschtorte
This is a multi-step process cake, however, don't be afraid to try this at home. I think you will enjoy the results!
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 teaspoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup Kirshwasser (Cherry Brandy) OPTIONAL
1 container whipped icing (cream cheese or vanilla)
1 can cherry pie filling
Make a chocolate cake, following package directions, and adding 1 teaspoon red food coloring and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Bake cake, as directed, in two 9-inch layer cake pans. Cool the cake completely and wrap the layers in plastic wrap. Place layers in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Whip together the heavy cream and confectioner's sugar. Chill.
Slice each cake round horizontally to make four layers. Place one layer on a flat plate. (Optionally brush with 2 tablespoons kirshwasser) Fill plastic bag with whipped icing and pipe a generous ring (at least one cherry high!) around the edge of cake layer. Fill the exposed ring of the cake with cherry pie filling. Repeat with second layer. Place third layer on top, and frost entire cake with freshly whipped cream and confectioner's sugar. Crumble the fourth layer into fine crumbs and press onto the sides of the finished cake.
Garnish the top of the cake with cherries picked from the pie filling, or maraschino cherries. Sprinkle with chocolate curls or chocolate sprinkles.
Refrigerate for at least two hours prior to serving. Slice while well chilled for best results.

If $\mathcal L$ is a first order language and $\mathcal T$ is theory over $\mathcal L$, then a model $\mathcal M$ of $\mathcal T$ is pseudofinite if it satisfies all sentences satisfied by all finite models of $\mathcal T$. Does anyone know a good reference for pseudofinite model theory?
In particular, googling I have found that each infinite pseudofinite order is of the form positive integers + copies of Z + negative integers and each of these is elementarily equivalent. Does anybody know a reference with the proof of this?
Basically I want to learn techniques to work with pseudofinite models.

SAN ANTONIO (November 29, 2012) – San Antonio Rampage General Manager Mike Santos announced today that the American Hockey League (AHL) club has loaned goaltender Michael Houser to the club's ECHL affiliate, the Cincinnati Cyclones.
The Youngstown, Ohio native, who has yet to see game action this season, spent the last three years with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. Last season, he won the Red Tilson Trophy as the OHL's most outstanding player and became the first American-born goaltender to be named the league's top netminder. Houser, 20, played in 62 of the 68 games for the Knights last season and tied the OHL record for wins in a season with 46 en route to helping his club win the Hamilton Spectator Trophy as the league's top regular season team. In three years, Houser posted a 93-38-7 record with a 2.90 goals-against average and 0.912 save percentage in 141 games.
The Rampage continue their five-game road trip tomorrow (Friday) night at 6:30 p.m. CT in the first of two games against the Lake Erie Monsters. The two teams will meet again on Saturday at 12:00 p.m. CT before the Rampage open up a pair of tilts at Abbotsford on Dec. 4-5.
The Rampage return home on Dec. 8 to host Oklahoma City at 7:00 p.m. on Salute to the Badges Night. Individual, and season, tickets start at $10 and can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

THE PARTY One of the highlights of the holiday season at Ala Moana Center, the Watch Collectors' event at Ben Bridge Timeworks, always draws a crowd. Once again, the esteemed boutique partnered with Modern Luxury Hawai'i to create a tasteful affair. And what better partner in crime than chef Mavro, who created scrumptious bites. THE PLAYERS Pam and Ed Bridge with their son, Mark; Lisa White; James Pollone; Vladimir and Joy Devens; Raymond and Jackie Suiter; Randall Rogers THE SCENE Making the night especially memorable were representatives from prestigious brands like Bremont and Hublot, who provided expert advice. Gents got to try on exquisite timepieces that exuded class. Of course, the ladies' watches caught the attention of discerning eyes, as well! BEST IN SHOW While the horological wonders got attention, so did Mavro's delicious macarons. The same went for the exquisite yuzu pear gimlet also served that evening. –Tracy Chan

Let $\rm{SL}_n$ be the special linear group and let $\rm{Sym}_n$ be the set of all symmetric matrices of size n. $\rm{SL}_n$ acts on $(\rm{Sym}_n)^m$ by $g(A_1, \ldots , A_m)=(gA_1 g^{\rm T}, \ldots , g A_m g^{\rm T})$. Clearly, in the case of $m=1$ the ring of invariants is generated by $\det(A)$. But what are the invariants of this group action in general? Is there an easy description of the ring of invariants, e.g. by giving the generators?
If you are willing to replace $SL$ by $GL$ (so without the determinant) then this is a special case of a much more general result.
Apply the theory in the following paper to the quiver with one vertex and $m$ edges.
MR0958897 (90e:16048) Le Bruyn, Lieven; Procesi, Claudio
Semisimple representations of quivers.
Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 317 (1990), no. 2, 585–598.
The special case you are considering was studied before this. The reference has already been given by Agol.
For $n=2$ an answer is classically known, see Grace and Young, p.161, 139A. Probably there is a modern explanation of this result known, too.
This is part of classical invariant theory: the study of joint invariants of several quadratic forms. As far as I know these rings of invariants are only known in a few special cases. There has been work by Turnbull and Todd for the $n=3$ case. A recent paper on the subject which contains pointers to the classical literature is ``La théorie des invariants des formes quadratiques ternaires revisitée'' by Bruno Blind.

Every six months a new Ubuntu version will be released. Does anyone know at which time this will be?
There is no exact time when Ubuntu is released.
You can find the expected release date on the Release Schedule. In an interview on Ubuntu-User Kate Stewart, the Ubuntu Release Manager at Canonical, outlines how the release announcement works:
The simple explanation is, it's not based on time, it's based on the amount of checks they get through.
They first need to distribute the new Ubuntu version to several worldwide servers which will be used as the download sites for users like you and me. After that they update the links for them in ubuntu.com (To avoid having a million users download from the same site at the same time). Normally this takes some hours but afterwards (A couple of hours AFTER they mention the release of the new Ubuntu version) all servers that will help with the download should have the updated version.
Also the exact hour, minute and second is not an exact science. Depends on several factos including if the dev in charge of it gets to work in time (Anything can happen). Depends if the machine that he/she uses works right (Again, anything can happen) and depends if he/she drank his/her morning coffee/red bull/whatever and feels cheery/grumpy to make the final release at that moment (Instead of enjoying the day playing with super mario o super "maria"). What am trying to say is that a lot of things can happen in a day that will not make an exact hour pass for the latest Ubuntu release or any other (Except for the creepy 10.10 which was 10.10.10 at 10:10:10)
We all know the dates are in October (The day varies) or in April (Also the days varies).
It will be done tomorrow BUT the time depends strongly on what happens to the devs that will be working on releasing the ISO. Some questions that should be made are:
All of this questions can have an affect of the time at which Ubuntu 11.10 will be released. We all know is tomorrow but at what time depends on too many factors (getting on time, devs talking to some friends about making the ISO, playing tetris, etc..)
Its not like they will be drunk and playing with "super maria" when making 11.10.. like last time: On what time on April 28 is 11.04 released?
Unless there is a show-stopper then yes it is released tomorrow, when exactly depends and tbh I'm not sure. You could grab most of it now, if its not the final iso already. What I tend to do is install zsync (sudo apt-get install zsync), and grab daily iso images for testing and use zsync to update the iso with the changes between each, thereby saving a lot of bandwidth. Head over to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ , scroll down and right click copy the url of the image you want to get, but make sure it ends in .zsync Run a terminal (ctrl alt t) and type zsync paste url here zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/oneiric-desktop-i386.iso.zsync , for example It will download the full iso if you don't have it already, and if you do it will only get the differences between the one you want and the one you have. So all you have to do when its released is rename the file you have to the same as the final release name (ubuntu-desktop-i386.iso etc) and use zsync with the url of the final release zsync file to make your iso the same as the final. You may find an iso today is the same as the final tomorrow. Either way its a great tool.
We won't know till they release it... but probably not till the afternoon if their history is anything to follow... but with this release they haven't exactly followed the beaten path... so it is anyones guess...
It's usually about 4pm UK time, I know this from previous releases that it's around this time slot.
According to Ubuntu's FAQ, the release dates are UTC based.
Also, Canonical is currently UK based company, so it would be logical to expect it in afternoon GMT time.

I've heard that it's OK to eat this, but I think it tastes gross. Are you really supposed to?
It's a personal preference. It's certainly edible, and it won't hurt you. I find the texture a little weird. Generally you can eat the rind of almost any cheese. However, make sure you're not mistaking a wax coating for rind.
I like it fine; on good cheeses it seems like that outer layer has a lot of interesting flavor. I love it when at things like industry conference buffets thrown by giant rich corporations the good (or great) brie rinds gets mostly left behind for me :-)
If you don't like the taste of it, don't eat it. I suggest adopting that policy as a general rule. You might consider using the rinds with other old cheese nubs from your fridge to make cheese spreads/dips (food-processored with some white wine, a little salt, maybe mustard, etc).
You don't have to, but I think it adds to the texture and gives an interesting counterpoint to the cheese.
If you're doing baked brie in puff pastry, however, I'd recommend shaving it down so that its thinner...the extra layer gets a little weird, makes people struggle with it.
It is edible, but there's definitely mold on the rind of brie. (Much like a lot of cheeses). Personally I don't like the taste; so I cut through the rind and eat the nice creamy part of brie. Most every cheese that smells (limburger cheese, etc), smells the way it does because of the rind.

I read that I need an European plug converter in Egypt. How hard is it to buy a UK to Europe plug in Cairo?
You can try the Radioshack chain in Cairo, I found a good quality adapter there for a reasonable price after realising I had forgotten to pack one. There are several stores in central Cairo and the staff have a good level of English.
For practical purposes the answer is "Adaptors will be reasonably available AND importantly, European equipment will work properly on the provided Egyptian voltage and frequency".
Also, Egypt notionally uses the "Europlug" (type C below) so many continental European appliances will plug in directly. You will also find the type F Schuko plug in use.
Your question has a less obvious answer than you may expect. There are several "European plugs" - these are in some cases interchangeable, even if they are not intended to be. And the UK is in Europe (or was :-) ) but uses a quite different style of plug.
I have no personal knowledge of buying these in Egypt BUT you can be virtually certain that they are available at major airports (at the usual inflated tourist prices) and in major shops in Cairo and elsewhere. Also, major hotels will stock them for sale to guests.
Adaptors such as this are not much more than plastic and metal and represent far too profitable and necessary an item to not be attractive to sellers.
More important is the question
The answer is, yes, Egyptian mains voltage and frequency are the same as in the UK (230 VAC and 50 Hz).
In a very very small number of cases UK wired equipment, and "European" equipment which includes a "ground" connection, will not work with an adaptor, even though it worked in its country of origin, because the equipment is wired incorrectly and uses ground as a return. Where the target power socket (Egyptian in this case) does not provide a ground connection the badly wied equipment will not work. However, metallic parts of the body MAY be live at 230 VAC relative to ground. In such cases the equipment is potentially lethal - both in Egypt and in the home country.
This site provides a superb list of voltages, frequencies and plug types by country.
It will be seen that there are a range of round pin plug types.
"E" mainly France (Image Wikipedia)
"F" Schuko. - widely used (Image Wikipedia)
The following is an incomplete list of plug types used in a number of European countries. C & F are most common, but there are many other variations.
C, E France
C, F Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden
C, F, L Italy
C, J Liechtenstein, Switzerland
G (K) Gibraltar
G, (D M F ) Ireland
One of the two main styles oh Egyptian power outlets. Both use round pins.
Mains voltage and frequency worldwide.
These people will sell you Egypt power adaptors PLUS provide Egyptian travel guides, maps etc.
Adaptalec will sell you Egyptian mains adaptors online

Officials in southern Indiana say two children found dead alongside their mother in a creek drowned, but the mother's cause of death is still undetermined.
Floyd County Prosecutor Keith Henderson says the bodies of 35-year-old Jamie Clutter, 10-year-old Brandon Clutter and 6-month-old Katelyn Clutter were unclothed when found Wednesday evening in a New Albany creek.
WAVE-TV reports Henderson said during a Friday news conference that a Bible was found near the creek along with a harness to carry a baby.

1970 Dodge Super Bee Restoration Part 5 - Project Super BeeWritten by on February 15, 2012 Contributors: Daren Irons Nothing shows progress like a coat of paint
If there is ever a turning point during a project car build, it has to be the actual painting process. This is the part of the project that when finished, makes all of the cuts and bruises, and hard work all worthwhile. It can also be the biggest headache you could ever experience, especially if you tried to cut corners, but the headache is avoidable.
Any paint job is only as good as all of the work you have put into your project, before any paint even starts to get sprayed. All of the prep work leading up to the actual spraying of color will determine the final outcome, and if you cut corners and took short cuts, the end result will show it.
When our musclecars were new, the painting materials used were nowhere near as sophisticated as they are today. Years ago, single-stage acrylic enamel paints were the paint of choice. This single-stage process meant that the paint was applied without a protective coating that the newer, basecoat/clearcoat paints of today use. While this single-stage painting process delivered a somewhat durable and good looking shine, it did have its limitations. Over the last several years, painting has shifted to a two-step process commonly referred to as a base/clear paint.
Our project 'Bee is to the point that it is ready for a covering of the factory B5 Blue, but what's it actually take to paint a car? That's an article that would take way too many pages for us to properly cover, but if you follow along, we'll show you some highlights of what you'll need to keep in mind.
Like we said, using quality materials is a must, and if you have a local paint-supply house that's willing to help you work through the process, you can do it. We were fortunate enough that Waterford Painters Supply was close to the garage where we were painting the 'Bee, so getting the right stuff was just a matter of telling them what we were doing. There are a myriad of choices available when it comes to paint, but for our project, we felt that the quality of PPG paints was unable to be matched. We've been using PPG products on our cars for as long as we can remember, and the results are repeatable, and great. Now, don't think you can simply go to the paint store, buy a gallon of paint, and paint your car, it doesn't work like that. There are a lot of processes and material involved, and mess up one step, and the entire job is in jeopardy. In order to explain what I mean, the following list is the actual paint materials we bought just to paint the body. Keep in mind, that this list doesn't include items like paint for accessory items like the k-frame and suspension components, masking paper, masking tape, and a whole lot of sandpaper.
2 gallons of basecoat (B5 Blue)
3 gallons of Urethane clearcoat
2 gallons of hardener
2 gallons of Urethane primer
7 gallons of reducer
This might sound like a lot of material, but if you are completely repainting a car from the inside out, it takes a lot of material. Like we said, without actually writing a complete book about painting, there is no way we can show you every aspect of what it takes, but if you follow along as we show you the highlights of what we did, you will have an idea of what a paint job really takes to get quality results. Also, check out www.moparmusclemagazine.com for a lot more images and instruction to help you with your project.

2a. If anyone out there tells you that there perfectly straight car has no "mud" in it, they're lying.2b. If you are looking to get perfectly-straight body panels, you will have a small amount of filler skimmed on the body.3. Once the body was considered straight enough, we covered and sealed the car with PPG's DP90 primer. This primer is an excellent bare-metal coating, and seals it before the color is applied. A lot of street rod guys call this color Hot Rod Black, and even drive their cars like this. It's a cool look, but weather can wreak havoc on a primered surface.4. Some manufacturers will tell you that their primer is a non-sandable type. Personally, I don't believe in a non-sanding primer. The final results are only as good as the prep work you put into the job. Wet sanding the primer before paint makes the surface smoother, resulting in better results.5. So you want to paint your car yourself. It can be done, but keep in mind that all of these PPG products were required for this one car's paint job. It takes a lot of material to make a car shiny.6. No matter what extent of painting you plan to do, dealing with a reputable supply shop like we did, can make the experience a good one. Remember, if you have any questions, the guys behind the counters can give you answers.7. Just to give you a head's up, the average paint job means that there is a base of primer on the car, at least three coats of paint, and usually at least three coats of clear coat over the paint. Also, if you are going to paint your car yourself, make sure that you have the proper ventilation and safety equipment.8a. Do you think we're done? Actually, we could be, but now comes the sanding and polishing.

Your Health
Where You Live May Determine What Lives Inside Your Mouth
Lately, we've been learning more and more about the teeming masses of bacteria inside our bodies - essentially trillions of tiny organisms that make us sick and keep us healthy.
Now two scientists at the University of Colorado have dared to ask what kinds of bacteria lives inside our mouths. And they're finding some pretty surprising things in there.
Ken Krauter, a professor of microbiology, and Simone Stahringer, a graduate student, took oral bacteria samples from 45 sets of twins and sequenced the bacteria's DNA. They thought that identical twins would have similar types of bacteria living in their mouths, because identical twins share the same genetic make-up.
They were wrong.
The identical twins' bacteria was not any more similar than the bacteria living in the mouths of fraternal twins, who only share half of their genes. Furthermore, Krauter and Stahringer, whose findings were published this week in the journal Genome Research, found that when identical twins stop living together in the same house, their oral bacteria became a bit more distinct.
What this tells us, Krauter said, is that, unlike in other parts of the body, oral bacteria is determined by environment, not genes.
"[We thought] that the human genome or your immune system or the surfaces of your mouth would have a profound affect on which microbes would choose to live in your mouth," Krauter said. "But that wasn't really the case. The most abundant bugs that are living in your mouth are dependent on what you eat, who you kiss, how often you brush your teeth."
At the same time, bacteria in the mouth is generally more homogenous than the bacteria in the gut, where there are communities of bacteria unique to individuals. Most of the bacteria in the human mouth can be grouped into eight basic types, Krauter says.
Those oral bacteria that fall outside of these eight types - the outliers, as he called them - may cause disease. But Krauter says if we can find a way to identify them, scientists could figure out ways to fight them.
But Krauter and Stahringer have a long way to go before they can take their work out of the lab and into the doctor's office. Right now, they're just trying to figure out exactly what is living in our mouths.
Figuring out how those they work for or against us will have to come later.

Time to end it
In December 2010, President Obama and Congress approved a one-year cut in the so-called payroll tax — deductions from a person's paycheck that help the federal government fund Social Security — from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. They hoped to put more money in the pockets of middle-class Americans in tough economic times, and a one-year extension was adopted in late 2011.
According to a Sept. 29 report from The Wall Street Journal's Phil Izzo, neither Republicans nor Democrats would like another extension. That is proper thinking.

In the "cards against humanity" collocation, shouldn't the article the precede humanity, i.e. "cards against the humanity"? Does the word against somehow influence this situation?

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
It's a play on the expression "crimes against humanity" (itself apparently dating from the 1860 American National Republican Convention platform, describing slavery as such).
I think "humanity" is a mass noun here, and since there can only be one, the definite article feels superfluous.
In the question Matt linked to, Reg Dwight wrote
Add to that, don't use an article where the noun is a generality (or maybe, an uncountable noun, like bread).
"Cards Against Humanity" uses Humanity as meaning either "mankind" (human beings collectively), or "the state of being human", or "the quality of being humane". Actually, given the game, any of those definitions would fit. The cards are deliciously anti-social!
"Cards Against the Humanity" would raise the questions "Which humanity?" or "The humanity of what?" because you are talking about a specific humanity or type of humanity. As the "which?" or "of what?" questions either cannot be answered or are not relevant here, it's not appropriate to use the definite article.

Sometimes (like today) I see that an answer of mine that had been accepted is no longer the accepted answer. Thing is, I have absolutely no idea which one and I'd really like to see which one to satisfy my curiosity. Please add that to recent history or something.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Yes please!
I asked for this a while on UserVoice - I'd be very much in favour of this. It's weird to see your rep drop by 15 and have no idea why. It also means there's an answer with more information in than mine, which means I may be able to learn something from it :)
Starting with the next build, this will show in your reputation history, shown as a -15 on the day it occurs (except if it's re-accepted in the same day)
I've seen this happen to me a few times where the OP unaccepted my answer and wrote his/her own very specific answer and accepted that. Perhaps this happened because my answers tend to generalize the problem, sometimes abstracting the examples, reducing the snippet, etc. This is my way of looking at the "bigger picture" and try to write an answer that is most useful to everyone, instead of OP's specific problem, but like I said this sometimes backfires with unacceptance (or no acceptance to begin with).
I've also seen question askers that reviewed all the answers received, and compiled it into one super-duper awesome answer and accepted that. I actually don't mind losing acceptances this way, because I believe we want to encourage this behavior from ANYONE. Even better if we get the original question asker to do this, I think.
I've also been tempted to do this with my own questions (i.e. answering my own question with super-duper compilation of everyone's), but I don't think I've ever unaccepted an answer because I posted my own, for fear of repercussions etc. I usually still post my answer anyway, because I think we want the content.
If my answer ever gets more votes than the answer I've previously accepted, then I may consider accepting my own. This hasn't really happened yet.
As this is apparently somewhere between difficult and unfeasible, maybe we can change people's ethos so that the emphasis is on the community to let people know why their answer is no longer worthy of being accepted.
Maybe de-selecting an accepted answer and not posting a comment to the user who provided the answer could carry a rep penalty itself if the answer has been accepted for a certain length of time. Or at least a prompt to suggest that a comment would be courteous.

COLUMBUS - The chase for the coveted Ohio State Track and Field Championship has reached its final day.
And there are still a handful of area individuals and relay teams still in the mix after the first day of the annual Ohio High School Athletic Association State Track and Field Championship meet at the Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of The Ohio State University Friday afternoon.
Action resumes this morning at 9:30 with remaining Division II field events and Division III running finals. The Division II running finals get under way at 1 p.m.

RIVER'S Cassidy McCullough clears a hurdle en route to winning her heat and advancing to today's state final where she'll have a chance to repeat as champion.
Barnesville's Jacob Anderson approaches a hurdle during the 300 intermediate semifinal. He advanced to today's championship race with the third-best time.
The area's Division III delegation was small, but it proved to be a quality field as the majority are returning to the oval this morning with visions set on the podium.
River senior Cassidy McCullough will try to complete her prep track and field career in style. The defending state champion in the 300-meter low hurdles will seek a repeat in her specialty and also compete in the 100 meter dash final.
In the lows, McCullough ran away from the field to win her semi-final heat and earn an automatic spot in the finals. She skimmed the eight hurdles in 45.06.
That time seeds McCullough second in the race, trailing only Covington's Jackie Siefring, who finished third in the state last spring for Russia. Siefring ran a 44.58.
In the 100, the West Virginia Wesleyan-bound McCullough didn't get out of the blocks well, but turned on the jets and snuck into the final with the a time of 12.61, which ties her for seventh in the final.
After running the challenging lows and with less than 20 minutes of rest, McCullough failed to qualify for the 200 meter dash. She posted a 27.07 in the semifinals.
Barnesville's Jacob Anderson continued his dream season and earned a spot in the final 300 intermediate hurdle race of the season and his prep career.
Anderson, a first-time state meet participant, ran like a seasoned veteran in his specialty on the state's biggest stage. He cleared eight hurdles in 39.24 to finish second in his heat and earn an automatic trip to the finals.
Anderson, who is headed to West Liberty, will run from lane six this morning in the state championship race with the third-best time in the field. He trailed only Warren JFK's Chad Zallow, who he finished second to at last week's regional, and Columbus Academy's John Lint.
Martins Ferry's lone girls event earned a return trip for today barely. The Lady Purple Riders' 4x2 team of Sarah Applegarth, Sunshine Wrenn, Ashley Griffith and Talyr Jenkins posted a 1:48.27 to earn the ninth - and final - berth in the 4x2 final.
Steubenville Central had its usual strong day of qualifying as the Crusaders' trend of performing well on the big stage continued.
The Crusaders' lone male entrant, Doug Maslowski, will compete in the state final of the high hurdles for the second straight season. After finishing second last year, Maslowski posted a 14.84, despite clipping the 10th hurdle and nearly falling. He owns the sixth-best mark.
The Lady Crusaders featured Monica Rigaud in the high hurdles. She earned a trip to the finals by posting a 15.28, which is third best in today's field.
Steubenville Central's three sprint relays - the 4x1, 4x2 and 4x4 - all survived to run another day.
All three teams are comprised of Michaela Gotta, Rigaud, Kara Kakascik and Taylor Zapolnik. The 4x1 sits fifth after running a 51.05. The 4x2 is fifth with a 1:46.62. And the 4x4 squad is seventh with a 4:06.08.
The Lady Crusaders actually got on the board Friday afternoon thanks to junior high jumper Moriah Vosteen, who finished eighth in the high jump with a 5-2 clearance.
Also slated to run today is Shadyside senior Tara Tollett. The Ohio University signee is the defending state runner-up in the 3200 meters and will seek to improve on that today.
Bridgeport sophomore Briana Massey also didn't reach the state final in the 200 meters after qualifying for the second straight season. She ran a 26.99 in her semi-final heat.

Spaces at 83c
83c has subspaces consisting of:
- The Main / Meeting Room
- The Dirty Shop (Machine Room)
- The Clean Shop (Electronics Lab)
- The Chill Space (Lounge)
- The Kitchen
- The Bathroom
Spaces Planned for the Sweatshop
Concept: Usage Zones
One conceptual idea last night was to break the space into three major use areas, and cluster the rooms associated with those uses in three areas. The areas mentioned last night were the Academic area, the Party area, and the Build area. The Party space seems a natural fit for the back of the space (it has a DJ Booth!); the front, with the light and space, seems like a good place for Classrooms, and the middle, dungeon-ish area seems like where shops should go.
Academic / Classroom
consisting of conference / classrooms, areas suitable for learning, planning, and colaboration. Room ideas are:
- Dungeons and Dragons room: a rectangular room with a board-room style table in it, walls covered in bookshelves and whiteboards.
- Math Room: Krutcher suggests that rather than a "conference room" style classroom, maybe we want a "math room" -- essentially a room with a couple of small tables, some chairs or couches, lots of pacing space, and a bunch of whiteboards; the idea is to facilitate active, creative discussion.
- Study Rooms: Small rooms just big enough for four people to crowd into or one person to spread out in.
- The chill space / lounge conceptually could belong to this Zone.
- Library -- bookshelves, chairs/cushions/lighting for individual reading, some tables for quiet study
- Possible to have a graphics/drafting area? Light table and drafting tables w/maylines, ETC.
Make / Build
Consisting of shop and lab space. Ideas include:
- Dirty Shop -- the machine room / fab space for actually sawing, hammering, lathing and milling.
- Clean Shop -- electronics lab filled with benches for soldering &c.
- Craft Space -- suitable for textile work &c
- Darkroom -- For developing pictures; double doors to allow entry when dark; red lighting
- Chem lab -- space suitable for chemistry / bio work
- A/V studio -- soundproof room.
- big enough for a small band and mics
- greenscreen & camera recording
- Ham shack -- Amaetur radio operating room. Needs good way to get feed lines to the roof.
Common needs:
- positive airflow ventilation to outside
- pressurized hoses to operate tools, blow / suck debris
- possible water & drainage hookup
- strong power lines

I recently read about a device that reported its "minimum CPU speed" (which was 50MHz; max was 1500MHz) and I wondered if my MacBook Air (and other devices like iPhone/iPad) slows down the CPU when not plugged in.
Yes. Intel calls it "SpeedStep." Variable CPU clock speeds that adjust to conserve power based on demand. The feature is engaged whilst the device is on battery power. All Apple products support this feature (it's actually supported at the hardware level and the operating system's kernel) but since desktop devices don't have batteries, you'll never experience it on anything that isn't mobile.
Your MacBook Air supports SpeedStep, as does the iPhone, iPad, and the traditional MacBook Pro.
More info on SpeedStep: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeedStep#Mac
I haven't seen any evidence that the MacBook Air scales down its CPU to preserve power under normal circumstances.
That said, when your battery runs very, very low, you will probably notice significant slowing. Whenever I play a high-quality game on battery power, the game inevitably slows to a crawl when my battery drops below about 8% capacity. Plugging in will immediately increase performance, so this is clearly the intended behavior.
@Siddhartha's statement regarding iOS devices rings true for laptops as well, since they are both designed to be used primarily on battery power.

GXT 3.0 Charts - Performance & Scalability Problems
We are very interested in ditching our Adobe Flex charts and replacing them with the new GXT 3.0 charts. But, due to performance / scalability issues, this does not seem to be a viable option and we suspect that we may not be alone in making this observation.
The charts on GXT 3.0 Explorer Demo typically show three or four series over (at most) twelve monthly time periods and the response time is very good. However, our charts generally have more data series and a greater number of time periods.
With that said, while working with the new GXT 3.0 Column Chart (using Developer Preview 5), I encountered performance / scalability issues in both Firefox and IE when I increased the number of series to nine over 90 daily time periods (code attached for your review).
The chart in the attached code takes around 30 seconds to render in Firefox (almost 60 seconds in IE), and I must click "Continue" on the proverbial Firefox dialogue "Warning: Unresponsive script – A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete."
The attached code resizes the presentation when the end-user resizes their browser window. When I resize the browser window the chart takes a very long time to resize, does so multiple times without warning and I again encounter the proverbial Firefox dialogue "Warning: Unresponsive script …" several times.
Also, when the chart is rendering for the first time and resizing later in response to browser window resizing there is no progress indicator. Further, when the browser window is resized, the display is locked up until most of the process completes.
As a comparison, I maintain a similar Adobe Flex chart that has nine series over 200 hourly time periods that resizes when the end-user resizes their browser window without any of these problems. If you can get the GXT 3.0 charts to do the same then a lot of developers would regard them as a viable alternative to Adobe Flex.
If I am doing something wrong here then please let me know. I am hopeful that I can replace the Adobe Flex charts with the new GXT 3.0 ones.
By the way, I really enjoyed the Austin conference.
Thank you,
John Lewis

Hey John,
Thanks for the great post. Troy also brought this to my attention at the conference. We are currently looking into improving the performance of grouped and stacked bar for larger numbers of fields. I'll be sure to use your code example in my testing.
8 Nov 2011 7:50 AM #3
Hi John,
Can you share what s wrong with the Flex charts ? Or are you simply going the "no plugin" road ?
8 Nov 2011 11:16 AM #4
Hi Brendon,
Thank you so very much for your quick reply and assurance that this will not be a continuing problem.
I plan to continue working with the new GXT 3.0 charts to replace the Flex ones we have.
John Lewis
8 Nov 2011 11:18 AM #5
Hi Ekambos,
We want to replace the Flex charts so our application will be positioned to run under Microsoft Metro IE and possibly other browsers that may eventually not provide plug in support. Also, it will greatly simplify the technology stack.
John Lewis
8 Nov 2011 3:21 PM #6
Hi John,
makes sence. Thx for the explanation.
8 Nov 2011 4:42 PM #7
Hey Ekambos,
One of the main reasons we decided to make GWT-based charts for 3.0 is the greatly improved integration between charting and the rest of the library. Using Open Flash Charts or a third-party JS library makes charting a black box with less accessibility and customization.

WEST LIBERTY - Fairmont State had its game with West Liberty at the pace it preferred during the first half of an Atlantic Regional semifinal Sunday night at the ASRC. The Hilltopers were rarely able to get out and run and foul issues at times slowed the game to a halt .
Yet when Falcons coach Jerrod Calhoun looked up at the clock at halftime, his team was 15 points behind and it only got worse from there.
Alex Falk pumped in 21 points to lead five players in double figures as No. 1 West Liberty (32-1) rolled into the championship game with a 100-77 victory, its fourth this season against Fairmont (23-9).

WEST LIBERTY'S Alex Falk goes up for a shot during Sunday evening's NCAA?Division II Tournament game at the ASRC against Fairmont State. The Hilltoppers prevailed, 100-77.
''I've seen every team in the country. The Dukes, Kentucky and Carolinas at the highest level,'' Calhoun said. West Liberty ''at our level, there's nothing like them.
''That team will be very, very hard to beat. We were very familiar with them, so the teams that they're going to see here in the next couple weeks have no idea what's going to hit them when that pressure comes.''
It's the fourth consecutive Sweet 16 appearance for the Hilltoppers, who will oppose Indiana, Pa., which beat Slippery Rock, 53-50, at 7 on Tuesday night for the right to advance to Louisville and the Elite 8.
''We're not satisfied with what we've done in the past and we're looking forward,'' said West Liberty's Chris Morrow, who shook off two early fouls to score 17 points and pull down seven rebounds. ''I think what pushes us a little more is that we've been here before and we didn't get as far as we've wanted to.
''Internally that drives us to keep pushing. It's going to be something we look back on later, more than we think about it now.''
Stuck in a nip-and-tuck contest for most of the first half, the Hilltoppers closed on a 15-3 run, with the big bucket coming from freshman Seger Bonifant, a 3-pointer from the left wing that was the result of hustle on the other end of the floor by Bubby Goodwin.
Cedric Harris ''found me wide open so I give him the credit,'' Bonifant said. ''He's going to find me every time, so I just have to hit them.''
Morrow nailed a 3-pointer and subsequent free throw after being fouled, igniting a 9-2 run to give West Liberty a 19-point lead not long after the second half began. Morrow's trey was one of just six for the Hilltoppers in 21 tries.
''We've tried everything. We've said limit their 3s and let's out rebound them,'' Calhoun said. 'Once again they're plus-10 on the glas and that is a stat that I just cannot get over.
''That's working. That is a hard-working bunch of kids.''
The lead reached as 21 -the high for the game was 23 - with 9:57 remaining on Shawn Dyer (12 points, five rebounds) free throw, but the Falcons had one more run in them.
An Isaiah Hill dunk ignited a 12-2 spurt that cut it to 11, and Stevie Browning's 3 cut a game Farimont never led back to 10. But the Hilltoppers responded by scoring 12 of the next 15 points to get it back to 20.
''That's West Liberty basketball,'' said Falcons standout Isaac Thornton, who was limited to 11 points in his final college game. ''Basketball is a game of runs, but the thing about them is you get down and you're just trying to get back into the game.
''If you don't get consecutive stops they make you pay.''
C.J. Hester checked in with 15 points and a team-high nine rebounds for WLU, while Tim Hausfeld netted 13 points, many on drives to the rim.
''He has no idea he's 5-7,'' Toppers coach Jim Crutchfield said. ''Tim did get in there a couple times.
''As a matter of fact he's done more damage at the rim than he has from outside in this tournament.''
It all sets up the third regional final in four years against the Crimson Hawks.
''Right now we've got to win that game and go on,'' Falk said.
Malik Stith led the Falcons, who had six reach double figures, with 18 points and six assists. Brendan Cooper added 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Just print out this coupon and bring it to your local Staples for 25% off any ONE item, whichever item is the highest priced in your purchase.
Coupon good in store, today only (Wed, 11/21/12).
There are some exclusions if you read the fine print. The big ones are pretty much any computer in any form, the Kindle, the Nook, and Epson ink and toner.
22 Comments add a comment
I've been wanting to pick up an ultrabook with Win 8, and had hopes this might be good for that, but with all the restrictions it's pretty much good for red staplers only. Worthless for me.
You can get a second 25% off a single item coupon at http://reg.e.staples.com/c/s/tagfrm/hBQrIoJB7SHGCB8vTb9Nsu3QBYt/coupon.html?n=4200&email=user%40hotmail.com&COUPON_1=42171&cm_lm=user%40hotmail.com&cid=EM:CM:_BQrIoJB8vTb9ML&om_rid=user%40hotmail.com
@subrec , I know it's not very helpful for electronics, but as a teacher it's super helpful for things like desks, chairs, filing cabinets, or other furniture Staples carries. Could be very helpful for college dorms as well!
@subrec: I have a $100 off any Win 8 laptop/desktop at Staples coupon that you can have. It expires today, so let me know if interested.
@tlogank: I submitted a new deal for the $100 off any Win8 desktop or laptop:
@wirges: What kind of college dorm stuff does staples carry?
@skipray22: This should help visualize what kind of stuff Staples has. Your call on what goes for dorms...
Would this work on hard drives? Reading it restrictions it doesn't mention them.
Thanks - GREAT find!
Gonna call every Staples in the state to see if they have Wii Us in stock. Their website lists them, but I'm really not sure if they'd ever stock them in store.
Looks like this would work on the Keurig Office Pro (I've seen it excluded in fine print before).
@mooingrhinoceros: Worked at Staples for 5 years and even though the site carries video game consoles, I know stores dont.
Would this cover GPSs since it doesn't say anything about it in the print that I see?
Confirmed working on hard drive. Using the 2 coupons provided here I purchased a 3tb and a 2tb, no problems for either. I imagine if hard drives worked, then anything not listed on the coupon will be fine, even if it is computer and electronic related. Thanks, Woot!
@tristicus: Yes, it should. I used the coupon to purchase an external hard drive for a computer and that was fine.
Except Staples crappy website has crashed, so you can't get the coupon any longer...
Was told that I couldn't use a coupon on a point and shoot camera since they are considered "business machines." Called customer service was even less helpful even though the rep agreed that it wasn't a business machine. Bought it at Target instead.
@whoster69: If you're unable to reach the site, here are PDFs for the 1st and 2nd coupons:
Original coupon: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?4sw2i1rycu7sto2
Second coupon: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?zthx719t5u7n1mw
wish I checked this out before leaving work- which is right next to a Staples- to go home, which is an hour away from a Staples. Meh.
Staples likes to put out coupons and the Managers like to reject them...
25% off binders full of women? In for three!
I brought in one coupon and they let me use it twice, since I had a friend show up with his pick-up because I wanted the desk that came in the giant box (I bought an SUV so I could buy big stuff...), so I used it on a chair too. That with the $100 off coupon for the computer I bought yesterday which they price matched, and I have a new office before black friday. Awesome.

Specs and Tester's Tester Comments

Detailed Tool Features -I [Download PDF]
Detailed Tool Features - II [Download PDF]
By Mike Guertin
More than 10 years ago, I bought one of the first cordless recip saws, hoping it would perform like my corded model. I had shelved most of my corded drills in favor of their cordless cousins, and I had high hopes for recips–too high, as it turned out, for the first generation.
Credit: Photo: dotfordot.com
The saw was handy for quick occasional cuts but had a low stroke-per-minute (SPM) rate, a short stroke, and handled poorly. Worst of all was the runtime. The battery lived only about eight minutes before dying out. The two-hour recharge time meant that even with two batteries, I had more downtime than runtime each hour.
Today's cordless recips are a different story. They have faster, longer strokes, superior batteries, and better features. We tested 12 tools ranging from 18 to 36 volts, all but one with lithium-ion batteries. The odd one out uses a nickel metal hydride battery, several tools in the test can run on more than one battery chemistry, and one works with different voltage batteries.
My crew and I used the saws during framing for plunge-cutting wall sheathing for rough openings, subflooring for HVAC duct registers, roof sheathing for skylight openings, and cutting out door plates and trimming beams. On the remodeling side, we used the saws for demolition work, such as hacking apart nail-embedded studs, joists, and rafters; slicing through cast iron drain pipes and black iron gas pipes; and cutting up old floor and wall planking. Then came the messy stuff: old roof shingles, plaster and lath, and layers of old flooring.
Battery fuel gauges are handy, and the simple light dots are easier to use than the colored light of the Ryobi, especially in sunlight.
Many of these saws could replace their corded counterparts for most of recip tasks I encounter. During the months I spent with these tools, I determined and rated the most important user attributes, such as cutting speed, vibration control, cutting sightline, base shoe stability, trigger control, and blade clamp tightness. To fairly quantify or grade these handling and performance aspects, I conducted side-by-side tests. I outfitted the saws equally with LENOX Wood and Metal blades for our cutting trials and during much of our field work. I also evaluated the tools' functions, like blade changes and base shoe adjustment, and features, like trigger lock-off switches and handle grip comfort.
Our power test was where the teeth really hit the wood–and steel. With freshly charged batteries for each cut and new 9-inch demolition blades, we set out to see who could cut slices the fastest through a knot-free 6x6 with nails embedded in the end. We timed several separate cuts for each saw and averaged the results.
The cut times for each saw varied by no more than six seconds, so I feel that we captured consistent enough results to be reliable. The results are interesting, with a surprise speed winner making the cut more than twice as fast as slower saws. (For battery runtime results, go to toolsofthetrade.net)
Vibration, or more accurately vibration control, is another important factor with recip saws. The smoother-running units greatly improve cutting control while providing comfort for the operator. I have carpal tunnel syndrome, so I appreciate the less brutal tools as they don't leave my hands and forearms numb.
The vibration control results were mainly rated "as felt" in use, but one interesting test for vibration was using the saws to vibrate insulated concrete forms during a pour. We found that the "fair" vibration-rated tools were great for this. Just by pressing the base shoe of a bladeless tool against the foam forms and pulling the trigger, the concrete flowed smoothly under window bucks and other obstructions.
The Winner
Looking over all the ratings and results, the Hilti won top tool for four reasons: smoothest cutting control throughout its entire speed range; lowest felt vibration; top-level cutting speed; and unique top and rear hand position handle and trigger.
Milwaukee takes second place with very good vibration control, dual speed-range settings, and a great, solid feel when cutting.
Craftsman takes third place, just ahead of the rest with some surprising performance results. It is the flat-out fastest cutter because it is the only tool in the test with an orbital-cutting mode. But even with the orbital setting off, it is still faster than every tool except the winner.
In the middle of the pack, the Bosch, Hitachi, and Panasonic saws had better combined usability and vibration ratings overall than the rest: the DeWalts, Makita, and Metabo.
The Ryobi and Ridgid come in last: the slowest cutters by far and low in most of the ratings. And the Ridgid suffers very poor front-grip comfort.
