Nutrient and Trace Element Analysis Laboratories
Dedicated mainly to research purposes, the Nutrient Analysis Laboratory is equipped with all the basic facilities to provide soil fertility appraisal and plant nutrient analysis. We use a Lachat flow injection analyzer to measure many components of nitrogen and phosphorus (in soil, waters and plant digests) as well as a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer for most of the major cations.
The Trace Element Analysis Laboratory has a state-of-the-art inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) capable of rapid analysis of a wide range of trace elements with limits of detection commonly in the range of 0.1 to 1 ppb in solution.
This facility is available to support research projects of researchers at McGill and other universities. Graduate students involved in the research are invited to be trained and to take part in the many steps involved in laboratory work. If you are interested, please contact us to find out about the analyses that can be conducted, their limitations (e.g. sample type, make-up and concentration of the matrix solutions), and costs.

Weekend in Photos
The weekend always seems longer to me when we're busy and that was the case this weekend. We had a friend's potluck birthday party on Friday night and watched the Olympics opening ceremony. I brought a batch of these cookies, which I'd definitely make again. On Saturday, Jonah and I attended a cocktail-making class (more on that soon!), checked out a photography exhibit and had a fun, delicious night out at Sweet Chick and Dutch Kills with friends. Plus, some new accessories arrived in the mail, and we bought a box of cupcakes. I'm telling you, this weekend was a winner.

Data, Privacy, Security, and The Courts: Where Are We? And, How Do We Get Out Of Here? Richard Warner Chicago-Kent College of Law firstname.lastname@example.com
We Live in the Age of Big Data "Big Data" refers to the acquisition and analysis of massive collections of information, collections so large that until recently the technology needed to analyze them did not exist. And more: Datafication Massive amounts of unstructured "messy" data Otherwise unnoticed patterns Indiscriminate collection Indefinite retention for unpredictable future uses
Massive Messy Data Big Data analysis requires collecting massive amounts of messy data. Messy data: The data is not in a uniform format as one would see in traditional database, it is not annotated (semantically tagged). A technological breakthroughs was to find ways to manipulate and analyze such data. Massive amounts: think of every tweet ever tweeted. They are all in the Library of Congress. 400 million tweets a day in 2013.
Patterns We Would Not Notice Big Data analytics can reveal important patterns that would otherwise go unnoticed. Taking the antidepressant Paxil together with the anti- cholesterol drug Pravachol could result in diabetic blood sugar levels. Discovered by (1) using a symptomatic footprint characteristic of very high blood sugar levels obtained by analyzing thirty years of reports in an FDA database, and (2) then finding that footprint in the Bing searches using an algorithm that detected statistically significant correlations. People taking both drugs also tended to enter search terms ("fatigue" and "headache," for example) that constitute the symptomatic footprint.

Obama and Big Data "Aiming to make the most of the fast-growing volume of digital data, the Obama Administration today announced a Big Data Research and Development Initiative. By improving our ability to extract knowledge and insights from large and complex collections of digital data, the initiative promises to help solve some the Nation's most pressing challenges." Office of Science and Technology Policy, Obama Administration Unveils "Big Data" Initiative: Announces $200 Million In New R&D Investments (Executive Office of the President, March 29, 2012), http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/big_da ta_press_release.pdf.
Institution Transparency requirements Government Internal sharing Consumers and others seeking services ReportingSurveillance Privacy and security requirements Investigation Foreign governments Voluntary information sharing, Reporting requirements InvestigationExternal sharing
Indiscriminate Collection Big Data typically involves collecting diverse types of data. "In an intelligence driven security model, the definition of 'security data' expands considerably. In this new model, security data encompasses any type of information that could contribute to a 360-degree view of the organization and its possible business risks." Sam Curry et al., "Big Data Fuels Intelligence-Driven Security" (RSA, January 2013), 4, http://www.emc.com/collateral/industry-overview/big- data-fuels-intelligence-driven-security-io.pdf.
Indefinite Retention, Unpredictable Uses The information is typically retained for a long time to use in unpredictable ways. as the Pravochol/Paxil example illustrates. The example also illustrates the rationale: the discovery of patterns we might not otherwise notice.
Loss of Informational Privacy Informational privacy is the ability to determine for ourselves what information about us others collect and what they do with it. None of the developments just outlined can happen without a loss of control over our data.
We Lose Control, They Gain It Information aggregators Businesses Government Our data "We can determine where you work, how you spend your time, and with whom, and with 87% certainty where you'll be next Thursday at 5:35 p.m."
Increased power to control from knowing our location data.
But James Rule, pre-Big Data Information processing practices now "share a distinctive and sociologically crucial quality: they not only collect and record details of personal information; they are also organized to provide bases for action toward the people concerned. Systematically harvested personal information, in other words, furnishes bases for institutions to determine what treatment to mete out to each individual... Mass surveillance is the distinctive and consequential feature of our times." James Rule, Privacy in Peril, © 2007, completed in 2006
New Privacy Problems? Changed privacy problems. A particularly complex and difficult tradeoff problem takes center stage. Big Data presents a much wider range of both risks and benefits—from detecting drug interactions to reducing emergency room costs to improving police response times.
Privacy Advocates and Courts Privacy advocates insist that We adopt severe restrictions on data collection, use, and retention, and. that courts should see the invasion of privacy as a compensable harm. Courts Refuse to see a mere invasion of privacy as a compensable harm Do not curtailed massive data collection, and Rarely hold businesses liable for data breaches.
And the Rest of Us: What We Want More control over our information, but without giving up the advantages information processing secures: We are willing trade. Humphrey Taylor, Most People Are "Privacy Pragmatists" Who, While Concerned about Privacy, Will Sometimes Trade It Off for Other Benefit, T HE H ARRIS P OLL (2003). What is the current mechanism for making privacy tradeoffs? Government: Constitutional and statutory constraints on government surveillance. Dana Priest and William M. Arkin, Top Secret America: The Rise of the New American Security State. Private business: Notice and Choice.
Notice and Choice The "notice" is the presentation of information Typically in a privacy policy. The "choice" is some action by the consumer Typically using the site, or clicking on an "I agree" button. Claims: 1. Notice and Choice ensure free and informed consent. 2. The pattern of free and informed consent defines an acceptable tradeoff between privacy and the benefits of information processing.
What We Have—Contractually Realized Notice and Choice Consumer Business Advertising ecosystem Payment system Aggregators Government
The Dominant Paradigm It is well known that these claims are false. Even so, Notice and Choice dominates public policy in both the US and the EU. An unsympathetic but not entirely inapt analogy: The old joke about the drunk and the streetlight. Why do policy makers and privacy advocates continue to look under the streetlight of Notice and Choice when it is clear that consent is not there?
The Failure of Notice and Choice Notice and Choice fails to To ensure free and informed consent. To define an acceptable tradeoff between privacy and the benefits of information processing. I focus on the problems about informed consent.
Informed Consent Impossible Two features of the advertising system make it impossible for a Notice to contain enough information: Complexity, and Long-term data retention.
Complexity The specificity assumption: informed consent requires knowing specific detail about what happens with the one's information. The advertising system is too complex for a Notice to provide the required detail.
Long-Term Data Retention Current practice is to store information for a long time, to be used in ways we cannot now predict. What we cannot predict now we cannot now write down in a privacy policy, so it is not possible for the policy to be informative enough.
The Wrong Tradeoff Why would individual decisions based on information available at the time somehow add up an acceptable tradeoff? Even if Notices could, per impossible, contain all relevant information, and even if all visitors read and understood Notices, they would not have the information they need. The information required to adequately balance the benefits and risks concerns complex society- wide consequences that unfold over a long period of time.
Data Restrictions Proponents of Notice and Choice insist on restrictions on data collection and use: The Federal Trade Commission: Companies should limit data collection to that which is consistent with the context of the transaction or the consumer's relationship with the business implement reasonable restrictions on the retention of data and should dispose of it once the data has outlived the legitimate purpose for which it was collected.
How Do We Get Out of Here? Notice and Choice first. We—my co-author Robert Sloan and I—think what policy makers have missed is the role of informational norms, Norms that govern the collection, use, and distribution of information. What follows is a bare bones outline of the idea, for more Robert Sloan and Richard Warner, Unauthorized Access: The Crisis in Online Privacy and Security, July 2013, http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781439830130. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781439830130
What Norms Can Do When informational norms govern online businesses data collection and use practices, website visitors give free and informed consent to acceptable tradeoffs. As long as the norms are consistent with our values. Call such norms "value-optimal."
Informed Consent A visitor's consent is informed if the visitor can make a reasonable evaluation of the risks and benefits of disclosing information. Suppose visitors know transactions are governed by value-optimal norms, then: they know that uses of the visitor's information— both uses now and uses in the unpredictable future—will implement tradeoffs between privacy and competing goals that entirely consistent with their values.
Tradeoffs All informational norms—value-optimal and non- value-optimal alike—implement a tradeoff between privacy and competing concerns. They permit some information processing, and thus secure some of its benefits, but they protect privacy by allowing only certain processing. When the norm is value-optimal, the tradeoff it implements it is justified by visitors' values. The tradeoff is acceptable in this sense.
The Lack of Norms Problem Rapid advances in technology have created many situations for which we lack relevant value- optimal informational norms. Two cases : (1) relevant norms exist, but they are not value- optimal; (2) relevant norms do not exist at all.
Now What About Privacy Harms? The norms approach works—if indirectly. We can reduce the risk of harm problem by reducing unauthorized access. Can we reduce it to the point that we can adequately address the remaining increased risk of harm through existing means—insurance and recovery from identity theft? Whether we can is a matter of norms appropriate product-risk norms for software. and appropriate service-risk norms for malware.

Mormon scripture includes this promise and challenge about the Holy Ghost being your constant companion: D&C 121 45-46: "Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven. The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever. 2 Nephi 32:5 "For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do." Back in the late 1970's, my devout Mormon mother took these scriptures to heart, especially after she read this church Ensign article that in part, said: "As we look at our own relationships with the Holy Ghost, what do we find? A stranger, a visitor—or our constant companion?" "The gift of the Holy Ghost is not restricted to either men or women; nor is it restricted to the General Authorities. It is available to all of us as long as we obey the commandments of God. With this gift we can experience for ourselves direction, inspiration, comfort, wisdom, strength, and testimony every day. In other words, we can receive revelation. We are told by the Prophet Joseph Smith that "no man can receive the Holy Ghost without receiving revelations. The Holy Ghost is a revelator." (History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 6:58.)" "We must then listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost, the "still small voice" that may come naturally as a thought or impression. The Prophet Joseph Smith said, "A person may profit by noticing the first intimation of the spirit of revelation; for instance, when you feel pure intelligence flowing into you, it may give you sudden strokes of ideas, so that by noticing it, you may find it fulfilled the same day or soon ... ; and thus by learning the Spirit of God and understanding it, you may grow into the principle of revelation." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 151.)" "When parents are trying to rear a family, each day brings a hundred decisions, large and small. Some of these decisions play a more important role in shaping the lives of our children and naturally concern us more. While the Lord has instructed us to use own wisdom and to search for the answers to our problems, he has not left us alone. He has provided a means whereby we may know if the decisions we come to are the proper ones. Through the guidance of The Holy Ghost: A Stranger, Visitor, or Constant Companion, parents can be directed into the most effective means of working with their children and may receive promptings in their behalf." "We can be guided, not only in times of crisis, but also on a day-to-day basis. We may receive on-the-spot guidance in little matters such as how to help a three-year-old cope with the frustrations of learning to tie his shoes, or perhaps in resolving conflicts between brothers and sisters. The ideas we receive may often seem so natural that we may not think of them as inspiration, but if we respond, we will see a change take place in our homes." - Sister Coleen Baird, "The Holy Ghost: A Stranger, Visitor, or Constant Companion?" Ensign, June 1977, 20 This Mormon doctrine changed my mother's life forever. After reading this and prayerful study, she says she consecrated her life over to God. She totally turned her life over to listening and obeying "the Spirit" AT ALL TIMES and believed she received constant revelation, just as the church promises. From 1977 until today, my mother believes she is constantly guided by the "still small voice." At first, she described feeling "the spirit" guiding her. Then over the years she would describe it as her "radio" and then simply "the voice" telling her what she should do. Every decision she made was because of "the voice." Even for simple things, like if I could go to a movie with my friends, she'd say "I hear a no" or "the voice says no." She would never say "I don't want you to" or "I don't think that is a good idea." It turned out that the voice was always telling her what to do and what to say - no matter how inconsistent. Isn't this the life the Mormon church promises? "Nephi taught this: "If ye will ... receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do" (2 Ne. 32:5). What a remarkable privilege and promise! Lorenzo Snow said that it is the "grand privilege of every Latter-day Saint to have the manifestations of the spirit every day of our lives [so] that we may know the light, and not be groveling continually in the dark" (in Conference Report, April 1899, 52). We have been promised the constant companionship of the third member of the Godhead and hence the privilege of receiving revelation for our own lives. We are not alone!" "Without the presence of the Spirit, it is impossible to comprehend our personal mission or to have the reassurance that our course is right. No mortal comfort can duplicate that of the Comforter. Said President Hinckley, "There is no greater blessing that can come into our lives than ... the companionship of the Holy Spirit" (Boston Massachusetts Regional Conference, 22 Apr. 1995;)." "Elder Bruce R. McConkie said, "There is no price too high ... no sacrifice too great, if out of it all we ... enjoy the gift of the Holy Ghost" (A New Witness for the Articles of Faith [1984], 253). What are we willing to do, what weaknesses and indulgences will we give up, to have as our personal protector and guide the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost? It is a question worth asking, for let us be clear: The adversary delights in separating us, the sisters of this Church, from the Spirit." - Sister Sheri L. Dew (Second Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency), "We Are Not Alone," Ensign, Nov. 1998, 94 As you can see, there's overwhelming support from the church to follow the promptings of the spirit in ALL of one's choices and irregardless of the consequences. "The gift of the Holy Ghost is a great blessing given to those who have been confirmed members of the Church. If we live worthy of His companionship, He will help us to successfully complete our missions here on earth. He will do this by guiding us, protecting us, comforting us, and otherwise helping us in all areas of our lives. Seek the companionship of the Holy Ghost in your daily life." - Gospel Principles and Doctrines, Lesson 30: The Gift of the Holy Ghost, page 223 "The words of confirmation into the Church are an invitation: "Receive the Holy Ghost." And that choice must be made not once, but every day, every hour, every minute. Even when the Holy Ghost comes and inspires them what they should do, doing it or not is a choice. Even when they read the scriptures regularly, it takes a choice to "feast upon the words of Christ." And even the feast is not nourishing without a choice to do what the words of Christ tell them to do. With faith and obedience practiced long enough, the Holy Ghost becomes a constant companion, our natures change, and endurance becomes certain." - Apostle Henry B. Eyring, "True Friends," Ensign, May 2002, 26 The church tells its members that the General Authorities have the Holy Ghost as a constant companion and that the members can receive this same constant divine guidance: "I have found in these Brethren seated before you the fulfillment in their lives of the promise given to the Prophet Joseph Smith "...let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven. The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion." (D&C 121:45-46.)" "I have watched them armed with the Holy Ghost as a constant companion, taking on enormous work loads at an age when most men would be confined to rocking chairs, and engaging in strenuous travel schedules with great enthusiasm to be anxiously engaged in building the kingdom of God. Then by observation, the realization has come to me that this great Spirit that blesses them in their activities is not a special gift to them alone, but is available to all mankind if they will but be partakers and earnestly seek it and be humbly guided by it. "The office of the Holy Ghost is to enlighten the mind, to purify and sanctify the soul, to incite to good works, and to reveal the things of God." (James E. Talmage, Articles of Faith, p. 167.)" "Isn't this spirit a constant companion you need in your life? "Consider your ways." Isn't now the time to follow the Lord's direction and receive the divine assurance that he is with you, guiding you in the paths that will make your life meaningful, rewarding, and satisfying?" - Apostle L. Tom Perry, "Consider Your Ways," Ensign, July 1973, 20 "But there is a companionship of great and eternal significance over which we do have full and complete control. It is a companionship that can be obtained and enjoyed by all, regardless of age or sex. It is a companionship that heals loneliness, motivates to excellence, and gives meaning to life. It is the companionship of one of the members of the Godhead—the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Revelator, the Sanctifier, the Spirit of the Lord. It is a companionship that will assure us that we're not alone, and will never be alone." "Would you like to obtain perfect peace and assurance in all that you do? If so, make the Holy Ghost your companion and you, too, may receive the type of assurance given Nephi and Lehi: "Peace, peace be unto you, because of your faith in my Well Beloved, who was from the foundation of the world." (Hel. 5:47.)" "Mortal men and women are endowed with marvelous abilities and potential. But however great these mortal powers may be, they are only a shadow of those powers that can be claimed through a linkage with the Holy Spirit. I hope you do not say to yourself that these words about a companionship with the Spirit are for someone else, not you. God is no respecter of persons. His blessings and gifts are not reserved for a precious few. It matters not whether you are an Apostle or a deacon, a Relief Society officer or a Primary teacher. All of us have the promise of gifts of the Spirit if we place ourselves in a position to claim them." - Elder Carlos E. Asay, "The Companionship of the Holy Ghost," Ensign, Apr. 1988, 15, also New Era, Aug. 1990, 33 "I testify that as we mature spiritually under the guidance of the Holy Ghost, our sense of personal worth, of belonging, and of identity increases. I further testify that I would rather have every person enjoy the Spirit of the Holy Ghost than any other association, for they will be led by that Spirit to light and truth and pure intelligence, which can carry them back into the presence of God." "I pray that the promise of the Lord will be fulfilled for each of us, that "the Holy Ghost shall be [our] constant companion, and [our] scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and [our] dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto [us] forever and ever" (D&C 121:46)." - Apostle James E. Faust, "The Gift of the Holy Ghost—A Sure Compass," Ensign, Apr. 1996, 2, also Ensign, May 1989, 31 "The Holy Ghost speaks with a voice that you feel more than you hear. It is described as a "still small voice" (see D&C 85:6). And while we speak of "listening" to the whisperings of the Spirit, most often one describes a spiritual prompting by saying, "I had a feeling..." The scriptures are full of such expressions as "The veil was taken from our minds, and the eyes of our understanding were opened" (D&C 110:1), "I will tell you in your mind and in your heart" (D&C 8:2), and "Speak the thoughts that I shall put into your hearts" (D&C 100:5). The voice of the Spirit speaks gently, prompting you what to do or what to say, or it may caution or warn you. Ignore or disobey these promptings, and the Spirit will leave you. It is your choice—your agency. I bear witness of the power of the Spirit and thank God that this wonderful gift is given to you, our youth, to guide you as you move forward to a happy life." - Apostle Boyd K. Packer, "The Gift of the Holy Ghost," Friend, July 1995, inside front cover "After we are baptized we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. The Holy Ghost will be our constant companion as long as we live righteously. We can feel the influence of the Holy Ghost in different ways. Sometimes we will hear a still, small voice; have a feeling of peace; or have a warm feeling in our heart. The Holy Ghost can help us understand sacred things and will testify of the truth. As we listen to the Holy Ghost, we can tell right from wrong and feel comforted and loved. - Family Home Evening Manual, 602, http://www.lds.org/hf/art/display/0,16842,4218-1-6-154,00.html "Teacher Presentation: Remind the young women that their ability to hear the still, small voice of the Holy Ghost depends on their faithfulness to the Lord's commandments. If they listen to the Holy Ghost, his promptings can be their greatest source of comfort and guidance, a constant companion. We need never be alone when we are worthy to receive the Holy Ghost. If you prepared cards, ask the young women to take them home, hang them on a wall, and refer to them before praying at night. Challenge class members to actively seek the Holy Ghost to be their constant companion." - Young Women's Manual 1, Living as a Daughter of God, 4: Seeking the Companionship of the Holy Ghost, Objective 13 "I invite you to ponder individually in a humble and prayerful manner and ask yourself: "Do I have the Spirit in my life? Am I happy? Am I doing anything in my life that is offensive to the Spirit and preventing the Holy Ghost from being my constant companion?" Have the courage to repent, if needed, and again enjoy the companionship of the Holy Ghost." "The gift of the Holy Ghost, which is the right to receive the Holy Ghost as a constant companion, is obtained only upon condition of faith in Christ, repentance, baptism by immersion, and the laying on of hands by authorized servants endowed with the Melchizedek Priesthood. It is a most precious gift available only to worthy members of the Lord's Church." "We should spend more time at the temple and less time in the pursuit of pleasure. We should lower the noise level in our homes so that the noise of the world will not overpower the still, small voice of the Holy Ghost. One of our greatest goals as parents should be to enjoy the power and influence of the Holy Ghost in our homes. We should pray and study the scriptures. We could sing the hymns of the Restoration to invite the Holy Ghost into our home. Regular family home evening will also help. In these perilous times, we need this unspeakable gift in our lives." - Apostle Joseph B. Wirthlin, "The Unspeakable Gift," Ensign, May 2003, 26 "Members of the Church may have the blessing of the Holy Ghost, the prompter, as a companion as well, and when the Holy Ghost is really within us, Satan must remain without. Study of the scriptures, prayer, faithful living of the commandments of the Lord, the discharge of church obligations and duties, being a considerate neighbor, and using the heaven-sent program of family home evenings can provide a basis for having the Holy Ghost as a constant companion and protector, which will result in peace and happiness." - Elder Ray L. Christiansen, "Power Over Satan," Ensign, Nov. 1974, 22 "In our weekly sacrament meetings, we "partake of bread and [water], in remembrance of the Lord Jesus," to keep His commandments that we may be worthy of the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. It is one of the choicest blessings that we can receive. Faith in Christ, repentance, baptism, and confirmation, followed by virtuous living qualify us to receive the guiding companionship of the Spirit of God. It is through the power and influence of the Holy Ghost that the Lord keeps His promise to be with us always and "not leave [us] comfortless." As a caring touch comforts a frightened child in the night, so the warmth of the Holy Ghost can touch our hearts and calm our fears. As the soothing voice of a loving parent can quiet the crying babe, the whisperings of the Spirit can hush the nagging worries of our lives." - Apostle Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Valued Companions," Ensign, Nov. 1997, 32 "Another personage is the Holy Ghost, whose enduring influence transcends time. Scripture assures that "the Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever" (D&C 121:46). Brothers and sisters, these Heavenly Beings love you. Their love is as constant as is the greatest love of earthly parents." - Apostle Russell M. Nelson, "Constancy amid Change," Ensign, Nov. 1993, 33 The church does nothing but encourage this behavior. Taking this Mormon teaching seriously has ruined my mother's life. The harmful things my mother has done over the years due to following "the spirit" are too painful, embarassing and lengthy to describe here.

The issue of youth smoking – and our role in preventing it – continues to be raised by stakeholders as a priority issue. BAT South Africa has taken a leading role in helping to prevent youth smoking through a number educational initiatives targeted at both consumers and retailers.
We firmly believe that smoking is an adult choice and that children should not smoke. We supported Government's decision to raise the smoking age to 18 and we continue to endorse practical and common sense measures that will see a reduction in youth smoking.
As a tobacco company, we believe we can best assist by applying our resources to help educate retailers on the penalties for selling cigarettes to the under-aged. As such, we work tirelessly with our retail partners to ensure that cigarettes are not being sold to minors.

SEGA keeps delighting us with new adventures of the classic saga Sonic. In this new release, an old-friend has shown up: Tails, the intrepid fox. He will help Sonic to complete any new challenge ahead. The effectiveness of their partnership has been proved in the past.
However, in this new episode, Dr. Eggman has also found an evil partner: Metal Sonic. Such alliance is threatening Sonic's world. New levels, obstacles, handicaps and hundreds of loops to make you enjoy to the fullest. Gameplay, of course, is still the same: run, run and run, grab rings, avoid enemies making you lose them and, above all, reach the end of the level in time record.
This new saga of Sonic is graphically outstanding. This shows how an old game coming from the 8-bit era can become a success nowadays being graphically enhanced, while keeping its essence. One of those improvements is the Collaborative Play via Bluetooth: you can team up with a friend and take control of sonic and Tails.
In this Lite version, players will only be able to play two levels from the 1st Act. Full version will unlock all of them. In addition, users who own both Episodes I & II will unlock an exclusive scenerario featuring Metal Sonic. If you are a Sonic saga fan, you shouldn't miss it.

Joaquím Rodríguez and Andy Schleck are among those suffering from crashes in the Amstel Gold Race. Rodriguez confirmed he will start in the Flèche Wallonne on Wednesday but could suffer on the closing Mur de Huy climb.
"Our osteopath treated me very well, that's why I decided to do this [two-hour ride] test," said team Katusha's captain. "The first 30 minutes were very painful, but afterwards it went better. The major problem remains the efforts on the climbs."
The Spaniard won Flèche Wallonne in 2012. The race ends with a steep climb up 'the wall' of Huy, a small road that kicks up to 26 per cent in some sections.
"I am a bit afraid of the Mur de Huy, but we will see," Rodríguez added.
"On the one hand, I feel it as an obligation towards my team-mate and last year's winner Dani Moreno, to support him. On the other hand, I feel that I need this race to be at top level in Liège-Bastogne-Liège on Sunday."
Rodríguez said that he lowered his ambitions in the race. He crashed about 80 kilometres into Sunday's 251.4-kilometre race with 2010 Tour de France winner Andy Schleck.
Schleck is searching for his top form after fracturing his pelvis in a crash at the 2012 Critérium du Dauphiné. In the Amstel Gold Race, he hurt his knee.
"I did the work I had to do to start the classics on good form. I hope to show it in Flèche Wallonne and in Liège but I have doubts," Schleck told Luxemburger newspaper Wort.lu. "Our Trek Factory Racing Team has competent people so I hope that we manage to resolve this problem."
Unlike Rodríguez, Schleck continued the race. The 28-year-old Luxemburger abandoned 40 kilometres later, however.
Schleck hoped to lead the Trek team in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, which he won in 2010. Schleck is still due to start Flèche and Liège, but the attention will now likely turn to his brother Fränk.
Sky's Geraint Thomas survived the cobbled classics but crashed in the Amstel Gold Race. He wrote on Twitter, "Someone decided he wanted a wee and just turned 90 degrees right, nowhere to go, apart from the deck."

I picked up this blade about 4 months ago while in the middle of a remodeling project. I have the el cheapo 12" sliding miter saw from HF and I still had the original blade on it that came with the saw, which is absolute junk. I had not really cut much on it and it was so dull that it was burning through things more than it was cutting! I could get it through a modern 2×4 with some effort but it was getting ridiculously dangerous to cut anything on it. The wall we were cutting was mostly made up of 100 yr old pine that might as well have been petrified wood! Had to pre-drill holes to get screws or nails to go in without breaking, this stuff was HARD! Needless to say, the dull blade would barely scar the surface of this stuff.
Well, on went the new Marples 40T blade I picked up at the local Lowes for under $40 (I figured the 40T would be better for this kind of rough work plus it was the cheapest). This blade sliced through that old pine like a hot knife through butter! Literally almost no extra pressure required to bring the blade down through 2.5"x4" (actual dimension) of extremely hard old pine. The saw now cuts better than it did when it was brand new, I actually enjoy using my miter saw once again. I have not used this blade for anything other than construction grade materials, no hardwood unless you consider the rock hard pine as hardwood :) I had even hit a couple of nails in the old stuff and the saw never slowed down, actually sliced the nail clean down it's length for about 1.5 inches. I was worried that it may have chipped or broken off a tooth, but I couldn't see anything by eye and it still cuts like a dream.
Inexpensive! – $38 bucks right now online at Lowes
Easy cuts – Cuts through everything lightning fast with no effort. Made my cheap HF miter saw a joy to use
Large carbide – can definitely be resharpened a few times
Cuts everything – I have sliced up 4×6 treated posts, 2×12 treated pine, 3/4 ply, and the infamous 2 1/2×4 ancient pine in the remodel. All "like budda".
Tearout – This was expected with a 40T blade, it's for general construction and not really intended for trim work or fine carpentry so I'm not marking off for it.
Overall I couldn't be happier with this blade. I had heard good things about the 10 inch blades for table saw use and I thought I'd give the 12 incher a shot and I'm sure glad I did. I like it so much I'm going to buy the 80 or 96 tooth version for fine work and a 10 inch for the TS as soon as funds allow.

I use the 50T combination, which is also a good blade -- Bert |
#2 posted 01-30-2014 04:49 PM |
For the same price you can get the 50 tooth which cuts soooo much cleaner |
#3 posted 01-30-2014 05:13 PM |
I have the higher count 12" blade, and it cut so much better than the stock dewalt blade on my saw, a lot less tearout and less noise. I agree that it is a steal of a deal. I ended up getting the 50T 10" blade for my table saw, but it has not given me the same performance as the Delta blade I had on it (which needs a resharpening). -- Brian T. - Exact science is not an exact science |
#4 posted 01-30-2014 06:10 PM |
I did not see a 50 tooth option in the 12", are you thinking 10" 50T by chance or is there a 12" version? The 40T worked fine for 2×4s though so I'm happy. I am planning on getting the 50 tooth combo 10" for my table saw though. -- Jarrett - Mount Vernon, Ohio |

I have the 10 inch 50T on my table saw. Works great, crosscut or rip. -- Handcrafted by Mike Henderson - Channelview, Texas |
#6 posted 01-31-2014 12:11 AM |
I agree with everything said; these blades are the best value I've found. My 50T combo blade never comes off the table saw when I'm working with most things. I'll swap it for a cheap 40T blade if I'm working with questionable stuff though, just so I don't risk losing the glass smooth cuts from the Marples. Next blade purchase will probably be a 24T Marples for long rips. -- Tristin King -- When in doubt, sand it. |

I have the 80 tooth Hi-ATB. Very nice performance for $53. -- You've got to be smarter than the tree. |

Picklehead – I'm pretty sure that's the one I'll get for precision work, how is it with tearout? I'll make a zci insert for the base and I use a backer fence for the really picky stuff so I'm thinking the 80 tooth will work just as well as a higher tooth count blade. -- Jarrett - Mount Vernon, Ohio |
#9 posted 01-31-2014 03:50 PM |
It's very good with tearout. With a zci and backer fence you should have no issues. It does have a positive hook angle, pretty low, 10 degrees I think. I know you want negative hook angle for a miter saw, but at least it's not too aggressive. The high angle of the top bevels helps a lot, and it's really sharp, like "accidentally poke a hole in your finger while handling it" sharp. (Just noticed you're talking about 12 inch blades, mine is 10 inch) -- You've got to be smarter than the tree. |
#10 posted 01-31-2014 04:32 PM |
Looks like the Irwin Marples line is positioned as a decent competitor to Freud's Diablo blades… Does the blue stuff on the blade transfer to the piece being cut? My diablo blades sometimes do that and it annoys me to no end… -- My workshop blog can be found at http://daves-workshop.blogspot.com, YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoa-AgyeFWqnQfGIJwdzkog |
#11 posted 01-31-2014 04:42 PM |
No blue paint transfer here. I should mention that the carbide tips on these seem extra wide/thick/beefy, which keeps your wood away from the paint (until you resharpen the blade enough to "disappear" all that carbide). They tout the extra carbide in the product info, and it would appear to be true. -- You've got to be smarter than the tree. |
#12 posted 01-31-2014 05:09 PM |
I haven't noticed any blue on the wood either but I can't say that I've paid that much attention either with only cutting 2×4s. I'll keep my eye out next time I use it. -- Jarrett - Mount Vernon, Ohio |

I am in Coral Springs and I want to get some night sights on my new Kimber. I would do it myself, but I have a way of marring the finish. I know it only takes 45 minutes or so and I want to take it to someone who can do it instead of throwing it into a two week long queue. Any suggestions?
Hey do me a favor, let me know if you find a good person to do this.. I need to find a good guy to take a good look at my 1912 Colt 1911 Army issue I have... Thanks!

This week in school we just did school. We got it in even though we were processing a lot of apples. But when you get free apples, you make applesauce.
We are still using Toe By Toe for my dyslexic kids and we also use a Learning Binder for each kid. And of course we are still LOVING Right Start Math.
Life Stuff
We picked apples from my friend's apple tree and from her neighbor's apple tree. We canned over 50 quarts and 20 pints of applesauce. It was crazy busy and it took like three days! But we can't pass up free.
We also went to watch my nephew play football. They played so good! They almost beat the number 1 team! I almost lost my voice I screamed so much. Shocking I know.
Saturday night we played some games as a family. We are so bad at doing that! The kids are cr-cr-cr-crazy! It was fun. My husband only gets a weekend off every six weeks so doing that was a good night because I don't really do that when its just me and the kids because I usually have to give baths and pick up the house and get ready for Sunday by myself and I'm too exhausted to do much extra when all that gets done.
And don't forget to check me out on Instagram. I'm much better at posting on there than I am here.
I hope you had a great week!

Thursday, 3 February 2011
Last Friday, Viktor Blom had been dealt the doomswitch cards at new sponsor site PokerStars. Prior to the SuperStar Showdown, in which he beat Daniel Cates out of $50,000, Blom had lost over $110,000 playing Cates heads-up and taking on the $5,300 heads-up SnGs for a $55,000 loss.
Now, however, in typical Isildur1 fashion, Blom has bounced back and is well in the black for 2011. In the past four days, Blom has played a staggering 12,000 hands of heads-up and 6-max Hold 'em and Omaha, taking on a myriad of players and walking away with $647,000 in profit.After beating jungleman12/w00ki3z out of $52,000 in the SuperStar Showdown, Blom went on a real tear and began by taking $150,000 from gordo16 at the $25/$50 heads-up PLO tables. He then won $44,000 in a five-hour, 4,300-hand NL match. It was the next day that really saw him shine, however.Blom put in 6,840 hands on the first day of the month and won an incredible $400,000 after taking on the likes of Phil Galfond and Ashton Griffin at the heads-up tables – they lost $147,000 and $56,000 respectively. All in all, Blom took home more than $650,000 since Sunday.Oh, and the PokerStars blog have announced the next SuperStar Showdown should be February 13 against an opponent who "is not who you think it is..."Keep up to date with all the news from the poker world by following us on Twitter and Facebook.

Knott's ride again strands passengers
BUENA PARK – A malfunction Wednesday on a ride at Knott's Berry Farm left 20 riders stuck on the attraction for about three and a half hours.
The security system on the Windseeker attraction activated about 4 p.m., causing the ride to come to a halt at the top of the tower and leaving the riders trapped in gondolas about 300 feet above the ground, said Jennifer Blazey, a park spokeswoman.
"It basically got stuck," Blazey said.
The riders got off the attraction about 7:45 p.m., after it was lowered to the ground
The ride will remain closed while park officials investigate the incident, Blazey said.
No injuries were reported.
The malfunction was the second time in two weeks that riders have become stuck.
On Sept. 7, 15 people were trapped on the ride about three hours, until crews manually raised the ride to the top and then lowered it to the ground. No injuries were reported.
The earlier malfunction was later attributed to an inaccurate reading in an electrical safety switch, according to Knott's officials, not a problem with the ride itself.
The Windseeker, the park's newest ride, has been operating about a year. It takes as many as 64 riders about 300 feet above the ground before whirling them at a 45-degree angle.
Knott's officials said each of the park's rides is "inspected, check-listed and properly maintained" on a daily basis.

Capybara spent a month on the lam after escape from Toronto Zoo
After more than a month as a free rodent, the escaped Toronto Zoo capybara is back behind bars.
Toronto officials nailed the 6-month-old guy (or girl, as it's very difficult to tell the sex of capybaras in their first year), who had been out of his enclosure since May 24, in a nearby park. His partner in crime had been previously captured.
Capybaras, which are active during the daytime, proved elusive and difficult to trap for zoo officials, who couldn't leave traps out overnight for fear of capturing raccoons or cats.
[H/T Globe and Mail]

Wonderful!! But why does Robert always have such difficulties with the lyrics of TSDWAY...
ReplyDeleteRepliesMaybe because he doesn't sing it often enough?
Then again, he also often struggles with the lyrics of Disintegration, which is played at nearly every concert.I agree with Nico. If you don't sing/play a song often, you're more likely to forget it. Plus, it's easier to get lost in the music in a longer song like that.
DeleteWe should also give Robert a little credit. Most of these songs don't follow the simple verse-chorus-verse-chorus pattern, which makes them much harder to remember. And he must have memorized hundreds of those by now.

Topic tags/keywords: question bandsaw Hi all, I'm in the market for a Grizzly Bandsaw. I am looking at the Grizzly G0513ANV (the anniversary model) and the Grizz G0513X2. The anniversary model is the exact same saw as the GO513. Im not sure if another 300 dollars is worth the extra cast iron trunions and wheels and other add ons. What is your opinion? Also have any of you rewired a grizzly motor from 220 to 110? Is it easy to do? -- Brett |

Here is a recent thread with lots of opinions: http://lumberjocks.com/topics/47356 The net was cast iron wheels should be considered mandatory. The X2 also has a significant upgrade in the guides and in the fence. Another step up (another $200) would get an electric brake with foot activation (G0513X3BF). Note: when comparing prices it is important to include the shipping. Some include free shipping, other charge over $200. Grizzly $99 plus another $34 for liftgate delivery for the saws you menitioned. Rikon has a 1.5hp 14" saw with similar resaw capacity and a larger table than the Grizzly for $950 delivered (at least at the moment). |

I have that Extreme Series and I think the extra $300 is well worth it: cast iron everything, resaw fence included, much better guides, etc. If you bought these separately, they would cost more than $300. But that black paint is pretty! -- " I'll try to be nicer, if you'll try to be smarter" gfadvm |

You might want to look at the Rikon 10-325. It's got cast iron throughout. Very nice. Includes a 5 year warranty. It's on sale at Woodcraft for $799.99. |

+1 on rikon 10-325. really well received saw and rikon is first rate. -- there's a solution to every problem.......you just have to be willing to find it. |

The cast iron wheels and trunions are absolutely worth the additional $300. -- If the old masters had power tools, they would have used them. So get off your damn High Horse. |

I just got the Rikon 18" on Friday. I have had a 16"Grizzly for about 20 years. 12" resaw, blade release, 2 1/2 HP Carter style guides, nice machine. All I'll ever need. Take a close look -- Ken |
#8 posted 04-14-2013 05:05 PM |
I have one of the Grizzly band saws and it's an excellent machine…I didn't even have to call in my electrician buddy to switch to 220. My suggestions… Get as much saw as you can afford. Consider switching the OEM blade for one from Woodslicer…excellent blades. Consider the type of tracking assembly that comes with whichever saw you choose. Mine has the roller bearings version…which is of course fine, but I would have preferred being able to upgrade to the ceramic block style. In that vein…the Grizzly guide mechanism can be a bit finicky to adjust. |

I just purchased and received the G0513ANV 17" saw from Grizzly. Their customer service and tech support are simply GREAT. I had a damaged upper door which they replaced in 4 to 5 days (delivery included). It comes wired for 220v. You must add your own plug to match your wall outlets. I've done that and added a 10 foot 12awg extension cord for flexibility. I am still researching 131 1/2" blades for this machine. (suggestions welcome). Being brand new to bandsaws I have no idea which blade i should select. -- Steve, New Mexico, USA |
#10 posted 09-02-2014 03:14 AM |
The answer is really up to you. What do you plan on doing with it? If only re saw , there are some nice thicker options. If your only cutting shapes you want much thinner. What you plan to do with it will give you better and more accurate responses. Paul |
#11 posted 09-02-2014 03:14 AM |
I have the GS055 anniversary model. It is a smaller bandsaw, but outside of the size I'm not sure how much difference there is between the 14 and 17". The GS055 is a great saw. After more than 1 year of use, I have no issues with it. I use a carter products blade and it cuts great. When I upgrade my joiner, I plan on buying a grizzly because of my experience with the band saw. |
#12 posted 09-02-2014 10:24 AM |
If you posted your question over at woodnet.com, all the G0513 lovers would be telling you to buy any version of the BS. Cast iron vice aluminum wheels depends upon use both do the job, if commercial shop or due a lot of re-sawing or veneer cutting go with cast iron. Instructions in the manual recommend getting a licensed electrician to swap voltage from 220 to 110, but provide a wire diagram. If not comfortable hiring an electrician or making the switch yourself go look at 110v BS's. Rikon deluxe or Laguna 14-12 might make a better choice if want to stay 110V. JMHOP, think Laguna blades guides easier to adjust. Good luck! -- Bill |

Cast iron and trunnions are the "must haves". -- "someone has to be wounded for others to be saved, someone has to sacrifice for others to feel happiness, someone has to die so others could live" |
#14 posted 09-02-2014 10:16 PM |
I have the G0513×2. I wish I had the brake, but $300 extra for that is a bit much. It takes a long time for the blade to stop after you power it down. For blades, I have an assortment. In addition to the woodslicer in 3/4" width, I have some cheap carbon-steel 1" wide blades that I've used for sawing green wood (firewood to lumber). I believe those are Lenox brand. One issue I've had with the saw is that the lower guides are mounted (permanently?) near the limits of the eccentric cam adjusters. So, the guide on one side is almost all the way to the right while the other one is almost all the way to the left. It works, but I wish I had more room for adjustment. I have a hoard of rough-cut lumber and I really like being able to rip warped boards on the bandsaw, since it would be dangerous on the table saw. -Paul |

Notwithstanding the abridgement of their rights, a great many of the Jews attained wealth and distinction.
This abridgement was made by the different friends of the cause.
The letter is a very long one, and its abridgement even is impossible here, but few more Boswellian productions can be found.
Appian, who comes next, does not confine himself merely to the history of the war; Florus gives us only an abridgement.
I said, printing an abridgement of a work was allowed, which was only cutting the horns and tail off the cow.
I chanced to possess an abridgement of the "Biblia naturae," the masterly work of the father of insect anatomy.
An abridgement was tried of Gibbon; but it had little success, and has never since been attempted.
The reader, however, would most probably prefer to hear an abridgement of the tale in our own words.
It is little more than an abridgement, for the use of young persons, of what the real history should be.
This defect is remedied in the 'abridgement,' the number of examples being nearly twice as great as in the original work.
