|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks Barry, these tests are really great to understand what IS better.
In the old lacquer days a "color blender" was a very slow thinner with some clear in it for "melting" the edge. These days "color blender" (it seldom is called that, but you get the idea) is many times only a "colorless basecoat". DuPont had a recommendation for years with Chromabase to reduce the mixing clear off the color bank with basemaker 1:1 just like a color and apply a coat over the panel prior to blend. It fills the sand scratches with a clear base coat then when you apply the base and blend the metallic doesn't "stack" in the scratches and cause a halo looking blend. Now there are many who sell a RTS or similar product that is basically the same thing.
I kinda thought the same thing.
I think this test just kinda confirms that it does not really matter what you use over factory clear as long as its somewhere between 320 and 2000.
Further it confirms That Grey pad most shops have been using for years, works perfectly.
This is interesting and now I question which is better.
I have always wet sanded the entire panels existing clearcoat with
600 before making a spot repair and reclearing the whole panel.
It was suggested to me on this forum to use a gray scotchbrite
pad instead of the 600 wet sanding for existing panel prep.
Is there any reason I should stop sanding with the 600? after
seeing these test results it sounds like it would be better than
the gray pad.
I know the wet sanding is slower but it does level out the surface better
and seems to be more "scratches per inch" (better adhesion?).
This is strictly a new clear over existing factory clear question.
Was not really looking for that but no scractes hit me in face.
All looked same except cleared over the dividing 1/4 fineline tape.
Thanks Barry.
A question.
What if any difference did you see in the "appearance" of the clear across the panel in reguards to the different grit scratch's?
I was wondering about the overall effect the different depth's had on the actual finish/'peel/clairity.
|The DBU500 is more of an intercoat clear than a blender but it can be mixed with DBU color to lessen the strength for blending. DBC500 is very similar, and Global D895 is also similar. Most people when blending problem metalics will apply a coat of this transparent base over the complete panel then blend the color into it. This avoids metalic hangup in the sandscratches. Since these three products are basically just transparent basecoat I'm sure the adhesion with them would be the same as if you were just coloring the complete panel. Dupont's 222S has also been used for the same function since the days of laquer. The DBU500, DBC500, and D895 can also be used for checking color match when a quick coat of clear is needed.
|Not sure about the color blender but a lot of people do ues it?
Good stuff. Do you have or do you know many people who use some sort of color blender, example DBC/DBU 500 or other brands equal? What do you think this would do for adhesion? I only ask because the question asked was about factory sanded clear as would be needed for a blend on a repair whether it be blend within panel or blend panel.
Like you said fresh paint would have better adhesion, so would the grit matter as much on a flow coat type situtation? I like to use 600 grit on a flow coat but have done the same over 2000 grit. As far as adhesion is there a difference in this case?

|Great threat Barry, thank you for sharing.
|Interesting info Barry, that's why I keep coming back here. Thanks for sharing the test results. I've often wondered how the clear adhesion was affected by different surface textures. I would think there must be an ideal grit for each product, 800 grit would be in the middle of your range. I've used 600 and 800 for final prep for years.
Adhesion test.
Adhesion test:
A month ago someone asked for an adhesion test to decide how well clear sticks to factory clear sanded with different grits of sandpaper.
Here is what we did, to be fair we found a factory painted truck side off a 2003 dodge the color was silver although that is not important, what is important is this panel was fully cured so instead of painting over fresh paint in witch case you would have better adhesion.
We cleaned the panel 4 times as an over kill before we sanded and that was after we buffed the panel with a cutting compound to remove any weak or dead paint that we could not see.
We taped off in one foot wide sections and wet sand the sections with starting left to right with 320, 600, 800, 1000, gray scuff pad, 1500 and 2000.
We than sprayed two wet coats of a HS polyurethane clear with a mill build of 3.8-4.0 average across the panel. Panel was kept at 75 degrees for 7 days.
Best way to check adhesion is with the stone chip test, measured weights of stone with 4 different sizes dropped from 8 feet. This is a radical test as new base clear with some companies will look like you shot the panel with buckshot and some paints wont chip at all.
Keep in mind, polyurethane has much more adhesion and flexibility than acrylic urethane but across the test it should be consistent.
The results we had ONE chip in the 320 and SIX chips in the 2000 and the rest had no chips but some film scaring.
So a guess would be the best range of sand paper is 400-1500 for maximum adhesion.
To finish up before I was interrupted the test says to me the 320 is the beginning of weakness as you go courser, I wanted to test 400 but did not have room but as it turned out, my guess is the 400 would not have chipped.
The 2000 is interesting as it got crazy going from 1500 to 2000 and I used 3M 2000 paper only because its probably the choice of 80% of the body shops so thats why I went with it although I never use it myself.
Don't let the six chips in the 2000 scare you as that is still better than some base clear systems after seven days and I'm talking premium base systems (foreign).

Hey !
I've been thinking about this for sometime, and I just can't pin it down. It's one of the last things holding up the completion of my suit's overhaul.
I know there was someone, at some point, that either started a thread, or participated in a thread that discussed the switches used on Boba's right gauntlet. But the name(s) have eluded me, and I can't find the thread for some reason.
Has there been any progress on finding or identifying these switches ? If memory serves, they were NOT toggle switches, but Rotary Switches of some sort, correct ?
If the used part hasn't been discovered yet, or if it hasn't been agreed upon yet, let's discuss/debate it now. I want these little suckers..... and I want 'em NOW !!
If it's already old news, forgive me, and enlightenment me
Thanks Everyone in advance,

only did Cardinals left-hander Jaime Garcia have
Garcia, 8-2 against the Reds in his career, stopped them on two runs for 6 2/3 innings Monday night in a 4-2 Cardinals win that put their magic number at one for a National League wild-card berth.
Garcia trailed only once, briefly, in
the game when he allowed a Reds run in the top of the third. A home run in the
Cardinals' third canceled that
"I knew that. I'm not going to lie to you," said Garcia.
As the defending World Series Cardinals have roared down the stretch, winning 11 of their last 14 games, so, too, has Garcia after missing two months because of shoulder issues. He is 3-0 over his last four starts.
After the Cardinals won their game,
they repaired to their lunch room to watch for some two hours as the Los Angeles Dodgers stayed alive in the wild-card race with a 3-2 win over
But how fitting it is, then, that the Cardinals will send longtime ace right-hander Chris Carpenter to the mound on Tuesday night to try to wrap up the berth. Carpenter, remarkably recovered from July 19 surgery to alleviate a nerve condition affecting his neck and right shoulder, will be seeking his first win of the season.
RHP Jason Motte, the fourth Cardinals reliever to have 40 saves, recorded his 41st of the season with a perfect, two-strikeout ninth inning. But Motte, who got the last out of the 2011 World Series, was more interested in team goals. "We're one step closer (to the playoffs)," he said.
2B Daniel Descalso, though hitting in the .220s, stroked his club-leading seventh triple to drive in C Yadier Molina from first in the sixth inning. "I think I can run a little bit," said Descalso. "When I hit a ball in the gap, I'm thinking 'triple' 'til they tell me to stop."
LHP Jaime Garcia is 3-0 with a 2.10 earned run in his last four starts. Garcia allowed just two runs over 6 2/3 innings on Monday, and manager Mike Matheny said, "He looked good right from the beginning. When you see Yadi (catcher Yadier Molina) have trouble catching him, you know the ball is moving all over the place."
3B David Freese, making his second straight start after missing nearly a week with a right ankle sprain, had his first hit since returning but also committed a throwing error.
RHP Mitchell Boggs, the eighth-inning man, completed his eighth consecutive scoreless appearance. Boggs, a veteran of last year's World Series run, said, "You play all season for the opportunity to extend your season."
By the Numbers:
.406 - 1B Allen Craig's batting average with men in scoring position after a run-scoring double in the third inning.
Quote to Note:
"We knew that if we played as capable as we can play, we're as good as anybody in the league."
- RHP Mitchell Boggs, on the Cardinals making a late season run for the second consecutive season.
LF Matt Holliday (bruised left elbow) was hit by a pitch and had to leave the game in the sixth inning Sept. 28. X-rays were negative and Holliday returned to the lineup Sept. 30.
RHP Jake Westbrook
(strained right oblique) was injured Sept. 8, and he probably is out for the
rest of the regular season. He encountered discomfort in a bullpen session Sept.
22 in
3B David Freese (sprained right ankle) missed his fifth straight game Sept. 29 but returned Sept. 30.
1B Lance Berkman (sore right knee) underwent additional surgery Sept. 14 and was thought to be out for the season, but he said he still wants to try to play.
SS Rafael Furcal (torn ligament in right elbow) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Aug. 31 and is out for the season. He might need Tommy John surgery, but he got a platelet-rich plasma injection on Sept. 4 in the hopes of avoiding having to go under the knife, but as of Sept. 19 he still hadn't been able to do any baseball activities. Furcal plans to meet with doctors the week of Oct. 1 to see whether he can begin a throwing program.
RHP Kyle McClellan (torn labrum in right shoulder) went on the 15-day disabled list May 18 due to a strained right elbow, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on June 30. He threw on flat ground for the first time July 3, but he subsequently felt shoulder pain. He had season-ending shoulder surgery July 10. McClellan will begin a throwing program in early November.

Climate Change and Tropical Cyclones (Yet Again)
By Rasmus Benestad & Michael Mann
Just as Typhoon Nargis has reminded us of the destructive power of tropical cyclones (with its horrible death toll in Burma–around 100,000 according to the UN), a new paper by Knutson et al in the latest issue of the journal Nature Geosciences purports to project a reduction in Atlantic hurricane activity (principally the 'frequency' but also integrated measures of powerfulness).
The close timing of the Knutson et al and Typhoon Nargis is of course coincidental. But the study has been accorded the unprecedented privilege (that is, for a climate change article published during the past 7 years) of a NOAA press conference. What's the difference this time? Well, for one thing, the title of the paper: "Simulated reduction in Atlantic hurricane frequency under twenty-first-century warming conditions" (emphasis added).
The idea that climate change might actually decrease the frequency of tropical cyclones (TCs) is not an entirely new idea. Indeed, similar conclusions have been reached in earlier work using climate model projections (e.g. Yoshimura et al., 2006, J. Meteorol. Soc. Japan; Bengtsson et al., 2006 J. Clim.; Chauvin et al., 2006 Clim. Dyn.). So what are the key developments in this latest work?
Some background
Before we tackle that question, it is helpful provide a bit more background on the problem. First, it needs to be recognized that GCMs are too coarse to provide a realistic description of 'small-scale' (mesoscale) features such as TCs. The atmospheric components of climate models were never really designed for the study of TCs, but the fact that they can produce features with TC-like character when run at sufficiently high resolutions, gives us increased confidence in the possibility that climate models can be used to analyze climate change impacts on TCs. In order to get a more realistic description of the TCs in coarsely resolved climate models, one needs howeveer to 'downscale' the model results.
Knutson et al project future changes in Atlantic TC behavior by using a regional climate model (RCM) which produces tropical cyclones (though ones that are too weak–see discussion below) to 'downscale' climate change impacts. This is accomplished by driving the RCM with boundary conditions provided from the various 21st century model projections described in the IPCC 4th Assessment report (IPCC AR4).
Contrasting two recent studies
In certain respects, this new paper is closely related to a paper published last month by Emanuel et al in the Bulletin of the American Meteorology Society ('BAMS' to those in the know) which received some press of its own (some of it quite distorted). Emanuel et al . also use a downscaling approach applied to more-or-less the very same climate model simulations. And both studies project a decrease in the frequency of Atlantic tropical cyclones (though see caveats below). But here is where the similarities end.
Emanuel et al use a very different downscaling approach. The use a 'seeding' method to randomly generate small vortices analogous to 'short wave' tropical disturbances in the real world (the tracks they take are defined in terms of the background atmospheric circulation of the model combined with the so-called 'self advection' of the TC itself). They define the probability of development of these vorticies into TCs through a 'genesis' model that conditions the favorability of development on various characteristics of the background climate state, and they use a theoretical model to predict TC intensities.

"This is my 2nd canvas print ordered from Tiny prints. I was so pleased with the quality of the 1st that I would never order elsewhwhere. The second photo turned out amazing. I captured my pregnancy and a picture of my son"
"The personalization at the bottom of the print was easy to edit and looked great on the print. The metal print was fantastic and we got an added bonus when we found that it came with wall spacers on the back to make it "pop." The quality of the photo on the metal print is extraordinary and very crisp. You barely notice that it's not an actual photo!"
"I ordered this photo gift for my husband for Valentine's Day and he loves it! The photo came out beautifully and it is a high quality gift."
"I received my mounted print in the mail, very well packaged I might say! Loved everything about this item, would have given all 5 stars however I thought the hanging situation on the reverse side could have been better, other than that would totally recommend this item."
"I ordered several copies of my son during him first week & was able to put his full name at the bottom. It looks so sweet! They were gifts for the grandparents & our home & everyone just loves them! I wish they were available with more phrases or that was customizable as well. Absolutely just love them!"

text: I am not her fan (yet) but the potential is there because she delivers most of the time. She won a GP medal this year, so she is improving, and she seems to be consistent in her jumps. However, she needs something more to grab the attention of the USFSA and internationally, and that of FS fans. What does Christina need now? I decided not to make this a poll, so more ideas can flow in. A new choreographer to bring out her strengths? Weight training to add more power to her jumps? A new packaging, like Michelle did in 1996? Medal at both GP events next season? All of the above? The last question is- does she really have it to make it on the world stage (like a podium finish in the next 2-3 years)?

No Slave-Hunting in the Old Bay State: An Appeal to the People and Legislature of Massachusetts
An 1860 tract from the American Anti-Slavery Society containing speeches by Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, and Charles C. Burleigh. Digitized by the Antislavery Literature Project.
This tract consists of three speeches by major abolitionist orators; they are a public appeal in behalf of fugitive slaves threatened with rendition to slave-masters by the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act. The first two speeches by Wendell Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison were given before a legislative committee in Massachusetts; the third by Charles C. Burleigh was given on the same topic before the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society.
All three speeches call upon the legislature and judiciary to overrule federal law requiring the return of fugitive slaves. Phillips invokes traditions of freedom in Massachusetts and argues that the South has violated a constitutional compact to safeguard freedom, freeing Massachusetts to pass its own laws guarding the true constitutional spirit. Garrison holds that this antislavery petition to the state legislature reflects popular will: "Do the people still rule in the Old Bay State? I take it they do; and I affirm that they are ready for this measure. They want no delay, no paltering, no dodging; but they want a decree, simple, plain, explicit, which shall protect every fugitive slave coming within our borders." (14) He employs arguments of popular sovereignty against the enforcement of federal law. Burleigh also refers to arguments that a national compact has been violated, but concludes by asserting the superiority of divine law and that "this compact is not binding by reason of its immorality." (23) For another perspective on the same issues, see Lydia Maria Child, The Duty of Disobedience to the Fugitive Slave Act (1860).
Wendell Phillips (1811-1884) was a Boston attorney and abolitionist. He graduated from Harvard College in 1831 and Harvard law school in 1833. He remained a practicing lawyer for only a few years until he joined with William Lloyd Garrison and the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1836. Together with Garrison and Frederick Douglass, Phillips gained a reputation as one of the most powerful abolitionist speakers. He eventually replaced Garrison at the leadership of the AAS in 1865 and remained active as an advocate for Native Americans and women's suffrage. For biographies on Phillips, see Oscar Sherwin, Prophet of Liberty: The Life and Times of Wendell Phillips (New York: Bookman Associates, 1958), and James Brewer Stewart, Wendell Phillips: Liberty's Hero (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1986). For a collection of his voluminous writings, see Phillips, Speeches, Lectures, and Letters (Boston: Lee and Shepard, 1884) 2 vols.
William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879), the leading organizer of the US abolitionist movement, served as publisher of The Liberator from 1831-1865. He founded the American Anti-Slavery Society, the New-England Anti-Slavery Society, and other abolitionist institutions. For further information, see Henry Mayer's excellent biography, All on Fire: William Lloyd Garrison and the Abolition of Slavery (New York: St. Martin's, 2000).
Charles C. Burleigh (1810-1878) was a Connecticut-born antislavery journalist, social reform speaker, and activist in the Garrisonian wing of the abolitionist movement. During the early 1830s he edited a Connecticut newspaper, The Unionist, and late in the decade he edited the Pennsylvania Freeman for the Eastern Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society. Burleigh had a great reputation as an antislavery speaker. One historian described him as "a long, thin figure in high water pantalons that dangled above his ankles with a downward curve of the nose and flowing sandy beard. He was the laughing stock of every audience until he began to speak. He was the ablest debater among the Abolitionists—fluid, intense, logical, clear." Oscar Sherwin, "Whipmaster and Scouts," Phylon 8 (1947) 1:39-52 at 43. Burleigh was also known as an anti-death penalty reformer, women's suffrage advocate, temperance activist, and campaigner against cruelty to animals. Burleigh's best-known work was Thoughts on the Death Penalty (Philadelphia: Merrihew and Thompson, 1845), an early treatise opposing capital punishment.

Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
We all know that the V 8-6-4 got a bad reputation for bad reliabilty.
But it was a good idea that was very ahead of its time.
What were the major problems with this system?
Why did it fail so bad?
Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
Because the 1981 computer coudln't keep up with the system it had to control.
A 90* V8 will run smooth on 8 cylinders, and even on 4 cylinders (in the case of select cylinders being shut down) but NOT V6 mode... no matter what cylinders you shut down. (Notice how none of the new...as in todays systems are V8/6/4, just V8/V4)
So when the computer would tell the engine to run on 6 cylinders, it would start to shake alot and wasn't very smooth.
The computer would knock down cylinders based on engine load... usualy by throttle input and manifold pressure... but that system is flawed because if you are coasting down a hill it would knock it down to V4, but then go to hit the gas and it would stumble around a bit before it switches the V8 mode to accelerate. Same thing for around town, it would switch between V8-6-4 alot.
It would ONLY deactivate cylinders when in high gear, so it woudln't do it in stop and go traffic... but even at 35mph, its in 3rd and would start cutting cylinders back.
There are a few more things as well.... all pretty much about the same thing.
Well, another thing was, the V8-6-4 feature was never counted in the EPA fuel things, so on paper, it didn't get much better mileage then prevoius versions. So the whole idea behind it.... better fuel mileage while still having V8 power was now kinda shot down on the window sticker thanks to the EPA.
Notice how none of the problems were due to the selonoids themselves or the physical deactivation method, because both are about as simple and solid as they can get.
Fast forward 25 years and we now have the system coming back. Instead of messing with the rockers, they are now in the valley and change the lifters a bit... why? the V8-6-4 was ugly looking, humps in the valve covers... with none of that up there, they now have a sleek looking engine again.
No more V6 mode... GM/Chrysler now realize you can't make a 90* V8 run smooth in V6 mode, so they stopped it all together. V8 or V4.... keep it simple. Plus these new engines have the power to push V4... the 368 needed the V6 mode to act as a buffer as it was somewhat low on power already. Which is why on even a 425, the V6 mode wouldn't be used either, there is enough power to push 4cylinder mode.
Finally, the computer systems today are far more advance and can handle it so it is now seamless operation.
The Cadillac Sixteen has V16-8-4 mode.... they can get away with that, because the V16 WILL be smooth in V8 mode.... it's all about balance on the crankshaft.
In the case of what I want to do, I want to wire up all 4 selonoids to an on/off toggle switch, mount it somewhere on the dash, so its either V8 or V4... when I want... either crusing on the highway, maybe when stuck in traffic etc... if there is enough power in V4 mode, I'll use it... otherwise I have V8. It is a very solid system, I am glad I got the parts off atleast 1 of them so far.
Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
When it was in V-4 mode, did it have 1/2 of the horsepower?
Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
Hey Night Wolf thanks for explaining how the V8-6-4 worked. I had an idea but was not sure why it was hated so much, sounds like the car was awful to drive.
Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
It worked by simply changing the rotation point of the rocker arm. Instead of it piviting in the middle to open/close the valve, the pivit point was effectivly raised, letting the rocker itself move up and down. Both valves would stay closed.
The dead cylinders were hardly any extra work on the rest of the engine, the same fuel/air kept getting compressed, all the energy used to compress it was gained back.
It was an amazing system, the theory behind it is great, and is now being used again.
One of the reasons I like it so much... and want to adapt it onto my engine.
Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
It was very ahead of its time, and I give Cadillac & GM TONS of credit for inventing it. I just wish they would have held on to it longer and refined it, and possibly made the 8-6-4 optional to the HT4100. That would have been cool!
Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
The HT4100 had a hard enough time trying to move the car around on 8 cylinders... why in the world would you want to then cut it back to 4 cylinders!?
Kinda like... how did they make a Chevette slower?....they put a diesel in it....
Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
No i mean make the HT4100 standard, and have the 368 V8-6-4 optional
my aunt learned how to drive stick on a Chevette diesel. :/

Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
whats special about the ht4100?cause it seems people like it..i havent done any research on it??
Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
Its a very fragile motor. It was ahead of its time for 1982, but it was under engineered and rushed into market unready. It seems that they have problems with coolant leaks, headgasket not sealing, intake manifold not sealing, the oil pump was faulty, and IIRC, the water pump was faulty also. Most dont last past 60k miles, but some do last to 150k miles.
Oh yeah, and they are VERY underpowered. 125-135hp for a 4100lb car
I don't mean to piss any HT4100 owners off, this is just what I have heard.
Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
Very fragile motor???? No man, my dads 4100 has 170,000 miles and has plenty of power and he doesn't drive it like a baby. We were 1 1/2 hours late to airport for my uncle, and my dad beat the living shit out of that motor. I could swear that the rpms were maxed out. Still runs like a clock and we never had ANY gasket issues!! Take off is great also. My dad drives the caddy like he drove his M6. Tranny is also original, the car just needs engine mounts. I took out the plugs from bieng 8 years old, and they looked new. The 4100 isn't bad in the FWD cars, 82-85 RWD cars, that engine is useless. That is where you start to blow everything.
Re: Problems with V 8-6-4 ????
Yeah, its decent in the 85-87 FWD models, due to the lighter weight car, and its had 3 years of refinements/ improvements.
It was quite fragile in 1982-84, and the 85 Brougham.

Green Bay Opens Horizon League Play with 6-1 Win Over Valpo
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's tennis team opened its Horizon League schedule with a victory on Saturday, defeating Valparaiso 6-1 in front of a packed crowd at Western Racquet and Fitness Club. The Phoenix improved to 11-7 overall and a perfect 6-0 on its home court, while the Crusaders dropped to 15-6 overall and 1-2 in league play.
"Top to bottom I thought we played very well today," Phoenix head coach Mark Thomas said. "Valpo is an up-and-coming team in our league. Their recruiting class was ranked 22nd in the country this year and they had four freshmen in the lineup today. They fought hard and pushed us, and I was proud of the way we responded to pull out the win."
Green Bay got on the board first in exciting fashion, as Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) and Howard Scott (Exeter, England) clinched the doubles point with an 8-7 win over Dave Bacalla and Daniel Oakes at the No. 1 spot. Tenzer and Scott were down 5-1 in the tiebreaker, but the duo was able to fight off a trio of Valpo match-point chances and rally for the 10-8 win.
"Tenzer and Scott's comeback was phenomenal," Thomas said. "That really set the tone for the match and showed how mentally prepared we were."
Also earning a doubles win for the Phoenix was the tandem of Rowan Isaaks (London, England) and Leopold Gomez Islinger (Weiden, Germany), which won 8-3 against Lucas Waak and Eric Honert the No. 3 spot.
Sophomore Joey Leto (Downers Grove, Ill.) made it 2-0 in favor of the Phoenix with a straight-set win at No. 4 singles. Leto made quick work of Valpo's Michael Savaglio, finishing off a 6-1, 6-4 victory.
"I was extremely impressed with Joey Leto today," Thomas said. "He just executed his game plan, stayed true to it and played great tennis."
Gomez Islinger put the Phoenix ahead 3-0 with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Bacalla at No. 2 singles, and Scott recorded the match-clinching point with his 6-3, 6-4 victory over Honert at No. 3.
Tenzer came out on top in an entertaining battle at the No. 1 spot, as the defending conference player of the year took down freshman standout Jeffrey Schorsch 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. Schorsch, already Valpo's single-season wins leader, was previously 24-6 on the year and 15-2 in dual meets at No. 1 singles.
Green Bay's fifth singles win of the day came from Isaaks, who defeated Charlie Emhardt 7-5, 6-7, 10-7 at No. 5.
The Phoenix continues Horizon League play on Sunday morning, welcoming UIC to Western Racquet and Fitness Club at 10 a.m.

I have a JD jango helmet. (which I have been procrastinating on working on for fear of not doing it justice) And I have a problem. I was wetsanding it the other day, and when I went to sand around the visor area, right where it touches the rf ear, I sanded too much and now it has lost a lot of it's height. I was wondering if I should use bondo on it and attempt to raise it up and sand it? Or does anybody have any other suggestions. Any help is much appreciated.
And in case anybody needs to know, it was a pre-owned helmet, so i am sanding off the other paint job.

Midwest Coal LLC v. Cabanas
In an action for fraudulent misrepresentation, the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District affirmed the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendant, concluding that the plaintiff, a coal company, was unable to prove damages for lost profits.
Lost profits are generally not recoverable as damages, because they are too speculative; however, they are recoverable with sufficient proof to provide a rational estimate of the amount of lost profit. In this case, however, the plaintiff had never turned a profit and was unable prove its case. ("With no history of profitability, Plaintiff cannot present sufficient evidence to prove lost profits from an existing commercial business.")

There are thousands of different viruses that come in a variety of shapes. Many are polyhedral <polly-hee-drul>, or multi-sided. If you've ever looked closely at a cut gem, like the diamond in an engagement ring, you've seen an example of a polyhedral shape. (Unlike the diamond in a ring, however, a virus does not taper to a point, but is shaped similarly all around.) Other viruses are shaped like spiky ovals or bricks with rounded corners.
Some are like skinny sticks while others look like bits of looped string. Some are more complex and shaped like little lunar landing pods.

duranki wrote:I'm confused. If I wanted to get a prescription pair of Gunnars, would I need to get my prescription info and order directly from Gunnars? Or could I take advantage of this deal, then submit my prescription info?
Also, it's been forever since I've been to an eye doctor. I just called my usual place, and they've never heard of Gunnars. Would they still be able to order them (just take more work on their part)?
Hi duranki. You can get your GUNNAR prescription a number of ways. If you wanted to take advantage of this WOOT special then you could place the order for your frame on here. Just make sure the frame you purchase is Rx-able. I go over the frames that are NOT Rx-able in this post: http://www.woot.com/forums/viewpost.aspx?postid=5197524&pageindex=1&replycount=79#post5197731.
Once you have your GUNNAR frame, you have a couple of options.
1) You can look for an Rx-retailer on our website here http://www.gunnars.com/retailers/. Any Rx-retailer on our website should be able to accept your GUNNAR frame and put custom prescription lenses in it.
2) You can contact GUNNAR directly at firstname.lastname@example.com for instructions on how to submit the frame you've purchased from WOOT with your current prescription paperwork from your doctor. If you choose this method, make sure you ask your doctor to write down your PD (pupillary distance) since most docs don't include it on the actual prescription paperwork. Or you can always call your doctor back to retrieve this information (chances are, if the doctor measured you for glasses he has your pupillary distance). Any prescriptions processed by GUNNAR will go through Carl Zeiss Vision so you still get the best optics out there.
3) You can go into your own eye doctor. If your doctor is NOT a GUNNAR Rx retailer, then they will need to sign up for a GUNNAR account with Carl Zeiss Vision first. Carl Zeiss Vision is a 160 year old company that knows the best optics and we have partnered with them to be our exclusive Rx provider. Be warned, this process may take a couple of weeks if your doctor is not already signed up with Zeiss or does not have a GUNNAR account with Zeiss. So if you're not a patient person, I would not recommend this option.
bbexperience wrote:Any thoughts about using these for driving glasses?
Hi bbexperience. We don't recommend these for driving. Although they will reduce the glare from headlights, they are not made for far distance viewing. Everything we do at the computer or TV these days is at a close to near distance which is why GUNNARS were designed to help your eyes relax at these closer distances. Therefore, wearing GUNNARS while driving (far distance viewing) would be the opposite of what we are trying to accomplish here.

You probably would have been better off just pointing everyone to the exact list of frames that are Rx compatible directly on the Gunnar website...
After contacting Gunnar Rx, I was told that if a frame is not listed there then you are SOL getting Rx lenses for it.
vanuary wrote:Hi uman44. No the Halogen is the widest frame offered in this Woot sale. If you're looking for the widest frame in our entire collection, than it's the RPG Gunmetal Amber that has a hinge to hinge measurement of 140mm and bridge of 18mm.
Luckily I was able to use some l33t haxor skills and find these on the website (search "RPG") to find a section listed as "Hidden". So not sure these are exactly ready to be sold...
I own the MLG Legend model.
They're nice glasses and look pretty cool. But do note they are basically overpriced tinted glasses with some minor magnification (ie. reading glasses). If you want the same effect and don't care for the branding or look, just buy some low magnification reading glasses at CVS.
If you're like me and suffer from eye strain, soreness and dry eyes from sitting infront a computer these glasses can be a big help.
If you're looking at these glasses thinking they'll instantly turn you into some gamer. It won't happen. They do very little to improve your gaming unless you suffer from eye issues or fall asleep at the keyboard from sitting infront computer all day.
My only complaint is that the nose pieces are not adjustable. If you're like me and have a less pronounce nose bridge (ie. flat nose), the glasses won't sit properly on your face.
Does anyone know if these glasses let me go Gunnar Style?
Are these compatible with "Google Glass" technology?

Oppam Gunnar Style!
Just bought a pair, and got the bitsurfer. Wearing them right now, seem to actually help.. after a few minutes the screen kills my eyes when I take them off.. shifts all colors away from blue into the warmer shades.. maybe I should of just adjusted my monitor, can't imagine myself doing any photo editing with them, but coding, seems nice.
Now can't wait for some of the more normal looking frames to go back on sale so I can buy one for the office too.
Welp got mine today. Got the Bit Surfer, and well the magnification is very nice. I will be using these quite often and since i do alot of gaming and hoping to get a job in my field, which means 24/7 computer style...lol
molex wrote:"Gaming" glasses?
This is the definition of a solution in search of a problem.
Actually, I disagree completely. I got my pair yesterday and using them playing Borderlands 2 and on my computer today at work, I notice a HUGE difference. My eyes do not feel as dry and my screen images seem sharper. I'd recommend them.
I bought the Gunnar Optiks Stylus Advanced Computer/Gaming Eyewear.
The bolt holding the lens to the frame is defective and keeps loosening.
Anyone know how I go about resolving this?

looks like you've got a 1 year warranty with Gunnar. you'll want to contact them about this issue.
if you run into any difficulty with Gunnar, do a little jig. then feel free to send an email to email@example.com.

Born: 22.07.1994
Place of birth: Zurich, Switzerland
Position: Centre back
By Lambros Lambrou
Martin is considered to be one of the most improved players at the Club, which is praise indeed considering the high level of his starting point. The former Swiss Under-16s captain was courted by many of Europe's top sides before he decided to join Arsenal, the club he supports: "I feel I have improved a lot since coming to Arsenal," he said. "I do not believe there is anywhere better for a young player to become the best they can be. I can see the improvements I have made, particularly technically and physically. I want to keep on working hard so that I can give myself a chance of playing for the first team."
Martin has not yet featured in Arsène Wenger's first team, but has often trained with the first-team squad. "One thing I really enjoyed was playing alongside Johan Djourou in central defence," he said. "He is one of my country's most celebrated players and it was good to be his partner in the middle. Hopefully one day we can do that for the Arsenal first team and Switzerland." The youngster who has also built up a good relationship with another of Arsenal's first-team centre backs. "Per Mertesacker has been a good friend to me," said Angha. "We both speak German and I am mostly with him whenever I am with the first team. He gives me a lot of help and advice, which is invaluable to me as a first-team player."
The variety of languages spoken by the players reflects the internationalisation of the game. More interesting is a new trend - German is the latest language to follow French and Spanish as the most popular foreign language spoken at the training ground. Wenger is a fluent speaker, as of course is Tomas Rosicky. But the introduction of Mertesacker last summer and Thomas Eisfeld last January means that Arsenal possibly have more German speakers in the squad than any club outside of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
"There is also Serge Gnabry, he is my closest friend at the Club. We are always together and spend a lot of time together away from the training ground. I have known Serge since we were 13 when we used to play against each other. He is a really nice guy, as is Thomas Eisfeld. He has found it a bit harder because of injuries, but I try to be there for him to help as much as I can. Per helps me, and I think it is normal for me to help Serge and Thomas if I can. The language factor helps but if they need anything I am there and I know if I needed their help they would be there for me."

I heard this series and thought you might dig it for listener pick of the week: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b015sqc7
The series is in progress but interviews 1-4 are available on the BBC iplayer or for download as a podcast. Prof Al-Khalili is a physicist but you have science podcasting and science outreach in common with him.
The interview with Paul Nurse is a really interesting window on his work, mind, even personal life!

My name is Matt Clarke, I'm 16 and I live in the UK. For the last two months, I have been subscribed to TWiV and enjoy listening to whats going on in the world of Virology when I'm not revising for my mocks.
I'm at a point where I'm deciding what my future career will be. Virology has proved very interesting and is a very vast career option with plenty of discoveries to be found. Even Dr Nathan Wolfe said in a TED talk said " If an intelligent extra-terrestrial was taxed with writing the encyclopedia of life on our planet, 27 out of 30 of these volumes would be devoted to bacteria and virus, with just a few of the volumes left for plants, fungus and animals, humans being a footnote".
Coming back to my question. As someone who is involved in Virology, could you give me any information about the field? For example, what is the salary like?, What would a working day consist of? and how would you go through it? This information will help me make a choice for my future.
Please get back to me as soon as possible as I'm very interested. I'll still be listening to the podcast every week to hear the latest news.
Yours Faithfully,

Dear TWIV community,
I wanted to make a contribution regarding Episode #145. You read an e-mail from Wendy at University of Iowa regarding the history of cloning technologies. She referenced the 1970s work at the NIH and scientists self-imposed (or externally imposed) moratorium on the work until the risks could be investigated. As you mentioned there was also a moratorium on cloning work in Cambridge, MA. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon this treasure - a (black and white) video recording of the Cambridge City Council hearing on the risks of recombinant DNA work, including city council members, scientists from MIT and Harvard, and a representative from the NIH, and Cambridge citizens. The MIT Library has an edited copy of this video (30min total), including some narration, available on their website as part of one of their 150th anniversary projects. Please post this link for others who may be interested. It is fascinating to me that one scientists tries to defend the ongoing research as very unlikely to be hazardous, while another scientist points out that this new and powerful technology has a huge potential - to help but also to harm, still poorly understood. I think it is important for scientists to be able to talk, with each other and with the public, about the implications of their work - scientific and moral.
I am glad to hear you discuss not only the hot new papers, but also the fascinating investigations from the past that got us where we are today. I think this is wonderfully enriching, for scientists to understand our heritage, so to speak.
Thanks for all your great work!
Virology Graduate student, Harvard University
P.S. It was a pleasure to meet you, Vincent, when you visited our department retreat in September!
" The film Hypothetical Risk, The Cambridge City Council's hearings on DNA Experimentation in Cambridge was recorded in June 1976 at City Hall, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Mayor Alfred Vellucci and city councillors Saundra Graham and David Clem are among those to question a panel of scientists including Mark Ptashne (Harvard professor of biochemistry and molecular biology), Daniel Branton (chairman, Harvard Safety Committee), Maxine Singer (National Institute of Health biochemist), Ruth Hubbard (Harvard professor of biology) and Jonathan King (MIT associate professor of biology). Produced by the MIT Oral History Program for the Recombinant DNA History Project in 1978."

Kid's Melanoma Skin Cancer Rates Increasing
The dreary days of winter are quickly giving way to longer hours of daylight. Kids will soon be swimming, biking, playing sports and enjoying all the other advantages that more sunshine and warmer weather offers. Theyll also be absorbing more UVA and UVB rays.
While skin cancer in children is rare, and melanoma " the deadliest form of skin cancer- is even more unusual, more cases are being reported according to a new study. The rates increased by about 2% per year from 1973 to 2009 in U.S. children ages newborn to 19. Melanoma accounts for up to 3 percent of all pediatric cancers, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.
As you might expect, the largest increase was seen in teenage girls from 15 to19 years old. Girls tend to lay out in the sun or visit tanning booths more often than boys. Girls are more likely to have melanomas on their lower legs and hips while boys melanomas are typically found on the face and trunk.
Recent studies have also shown that melanoma is on the rise among adults as well. Exactly what is driving these trends is not fully understood, but increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation from both the sun and tanning booths as well as greater awareness of melanoma may be responsible, according to study authors led by Jeannette Wong of the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
Skin cancer looks pretty much the same in children as it does in adults. Parents should routinely check any moles or changes in their childs skin.
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer. It is highly treatable, grows very slowly and is located on the top layer of skin. It usually appears as a small, shiny bump or nodule on the skin, mainly those areas exposed to the sun, such as the head, neck, arms, hands, and face. It more commonly occurs among people with light-colored eyes, hair, and complexion.
Squamous cell carcinoma is a more aggressive skin cancer but is still highly treatable. It may appear as nodules or red, scaly patches of skin, and may be found on the face, ears, lips, and mouth. Squamous cell carcinoma can spread to other parts of the body, although this is rare. This type of skin cancer is usually found in fair-skinned people.
Melanoma accounts for a small percentage of all skin cancers, but the most deaths. Malignant melanoma sometimes begins as a mole that then turns cancerous. This cancer may spread quickly. Malignant melanoma most often appears on fair-skinned men and women, but people with all skin types may be affected.
The researchers used a database to capture trends in childhood melanoma, but they did not have any information on participants' tanning habits or sun exposure history. Other risks for melanoma among children and adults include fair skin, light-colored hair and eyes, moles, family history of melanoma and a history of sunburns.
In addition to sunscreen, parents may want to consider purchasing sun protection clothing for their child. Many department stores and online clothing sites now provide sun protection clothing for all ages, from newborn to adult. These specially treated fabrics offer a sun protection factor of 50 and are washable.
Although skin cancer in children is still fairly rare, skin cancer in adults is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Each year new cases increase and the Skin Cancer Foundation predicts an estimated 9,480 people will die of melanoma in 2013.
The vast majority of skin cancers are caused by ultraviolet radiation so protecting your children (and yourself) from sunburn and over exposure now can have a significant and positive affect on your childs long-term health.
The studys findings are published in the May issue of the journal Pediatrics.

Good observation,,,
For a long time I have been studying the difference between liberals and conservatives. There exists a huge chasm between the two ideologies and I have often wondered if it is possible to bring them together.
Liberals believe that all of their Rights come from the government and that the government giveth and the government taketh away.
Conservatives generally feel that their Rights come from their Creator, (as stated in the Declaration of Independence) and only He can take them away.
The majority of liberals believe that they have come down through the ages from filthy scum which formed in the water millions of years ago. They claim that for eons they gradually evoluted (hows that for a word?) through various life forms such as monkeys and apes until they descended into their present forms. Springing from the earth as they do, they consider the world to be their mother. Having no GOD they feel that they have nothing to look forward to after this life is over.
On the contrary, most conservatives feel that they were made in the image of an omnipotent and loving Father. They feel that there is a Divine purpose for their sojourn on earth and that a better life will follow.
I have come to the conclusion that the gap between the two may never be crossed because my studies indicate that BOTH ARE CORRECT!
Good observation,,,

The survivor benefit you elected at retirement is no longer payable. A monthly survivor benefit would be payable to your former spouse after death if one is provided by court order or your new election.
The following conditions must exist for your former spouse to receive a benefit:
Your annuity may be reduced if your former spouse was awarded a survivor annuity by a qualifying court order.
If you retired on or after May 7, 1985, we will honor the terms of a court order that requires you to provide a survivor annuity for an eligible former spouse for a marriage dissolved on or after May 7, 1985. If you are divorced after retirement from a spouse to whom you were married at retirement, we will honor the court order to the extent that your annuity was reduced at retirement. If you did not elect a survivor annuity for that person at retirement, your annuity will not be reduced.
If you retired before May 7, 1985, we will honor the terms of a qualifying court order that requires you to provide a survivor annuity for an eligible former spouse in connection with a marriage that was dissolved on or after May 7, 1985, but only if you were married to that person at retirement and elected to provide a survivor annuity at that time or your were married to that person at retirement and elected to provide a survivor annuity before May 7, 1985.
If it is within 30 days of your first regular annuity payment, you may file a new election in writing. You should send the election to:
U.S. Office of Personnel Management
Retirement Operations Center
Post Office Box 45
Boyers, PA 16017
U.S. Office of Personnel Management
Retirement Operations Center
Post Office Box 45
Boyers, PA 16017
Your first regular monthly payment is the first one paid in an amount other than the estimated amount or the adjustment payment after we have computed your regular annuity amount.
If you change your election to anything other than the maximum, you must obtain your spouse's consent or a waiver of the consent requirement.
After the 30 day period has passed, you can change your election only under the following circumstances.
If it is more than 30 days from the date of your first regular monthly payment, but less than 18 months from the beginning date of your annuity, you may change your decision not to provide a survivor annuity or you can increase the survivor annuity amount. You must request the change in writing at:
U.S. Office of Personnel Management
Retirement Operations Center
Post Office Box 45
Boyers, PA 16017
You must also pay a one-time payment representing the difference between the old and new election amounts. This one-time payment also includes a percentage of your annual benefit. The percentage is 24.5 percent of your annual benefit if you are changing from no survivor benefit to a full survivor benefit or 12.25 percent if you are changing from no survivor benefit to a partial one. Interest is also charged at the rates shown in this table.
Your written election should include your claim number, the amount of your new survivor election, and your spouse's name, social security number, date of birth, and a copy of your marriage certificate
A divorce, legal separation, or annulment court order may require that an employee or a retiree provide a survivor annuity for a former spouse. We will pay based on the court order after a death-in-service or after the death of an annuitant. If the benefit will be based on a court order, employees and retirees [or their former spouses] need to send us a court-certified copy of the court order. Send this to:
U. S. Office of Personnel Management
Retirement Services Program
Court-Order Benefits Branch
Post Office Box 17
Washington, DC 20044-0017
If you are still working for the Federal Government, you should also provide a copy of the court order to your personnel or human resources office. All court orders involving garnishments or allotments of your payments from us must be sent to the address given above.
If you are in good health and you retire for reasons other than disability, you may elect to provide a survivor annuity to someone with an insurable interest. You can elect to provide an insurable interest benefit and the maximum benefit for a spouse or an ex-spouse. Spousal consent is not required. However, if you are married and elect an insurable interest benefit for your spouse, spousal consent is required.
If you elect an insurable interest benefit, you are responsible for arranging for and paying the cost of any medical examination required to show you are in good health. A report of the medical examination should be included with your retirement application.
You can elect to provide an insurable interest annuity only for someone who has an insurable interest in you. "Insurable interest" is an insurance term which applies to someone who would reasonably expect to derive financial benefit from your continued life. For survivor benefit election purposes, an insurable interest is presumed to exist if you name as beneficiary of the insurable interest, any of the following individuals:
If the person named is not one of the above, you should submit affidavits with your retirement application from one or more people with knowledge of the individual's insurable interest. The affidavits should state:
The reduction to provide an insurable interest benefit is computed as follows:
The insurable interest automatically ends if the insurable interest dies, if you marry the insurable interest and elect to provide a spousal benefit, or if the named person is your spouse and you change your election to provide a spousal survivor benefit.

IBO legal sight??????????
i fianaly shot my first 3d touney last weekend and there was some ? as to weather my sight was legal i am shooting a yardage master by rack n spur

I don't know much about that particular sight, but from what I've read on the net about it... It says it has range finding capability, and while most everything we shoot here is ASA and not IBO and I'm not sure of the differences in regulations.. That would be a BIG no-no in my neck of the woods for ASA. You're not allowed to take anything that is capable of telling you the range of your target that can't be carried in your cranium.
Just looked at the IBO rules on rangefinders, and this is what it says:
1. An integral part of IBO 3-D competition is the archer's ability to judge yardage without the assistance of range-finding devices or assistance from others. Therefore, cameras, rangefinders, or any other devices that may be used to calculate yardage to the target are prohibited. An archer may not use parts of his or her body, the bow, or any other accessories or equipment to calculate yardage. Any mark on otherwise legal binoculars that could be construed as a reference point for range finding is prohibited.
Last edited by NE1C_my_arrow; 05-11-2006 at 08:05 PM."It's closer than it looks, but farther than it appears." - Yeah, I said that.
O.k so my question is this and remember I really dont like cheaters.
Not talking about a regular range finder here but what about those ones that are based on lines on the side of your sight?? I have seen a few and it seems as though they are only good for one type of animal at a time, correct?
So if a person has one for say elk on his bow it would only help on elk correct? I mean the body of say a racoon will not line up for the same distances as an elk. I dont use one of these, do not know how much they cost or care for that matter. It seems to me you would be handicaping your self getting used to using some thing like that and not haveing to learn to judge yardage. JMOI cut things up and split them down!

The same could be said of a bow sight that uses lines to determine the yardage of say a deer sized target. If the lines are calibrated to show an average deer sized target at 20 yards.. then the use of those lines would be useless on a target that was markedly larger or smaller. Such as an elk or a coon."It's closer than it looks, but farther than it appears." - Yeah, I said that.

Cook your entire Thanksgiving meal using slow cookers - or just one or two dishes. No oven required – only counter space.
- Lee Harrelson
A Slow Cooker ThanksgivingSlow cookers can be a chef's best friend when preparing the big Thanksgiving meal. Gather up an army of slow cookers and put them to work on your Thanksgiving menu, or better yet, ask friends and family to prepare these easy dishes at home and bring them to the feast.
Hot Mulled Ginger-Spiced CiderServe your guests a cup of simmering cider as everyone gathers for the big feast. The slow cooker will keep it warm throughout the meal.
Grandma Dean's Chicken and DressingThis easy recipe calls for rotisserie chicken, but you can use roasted turkey if you just can't make it though Thanksgiving without the traditional bird.
Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan ToppingSpiced sweet potatoes topped with sweetened pecans is a must for any holiday feast and can serve as either side dish or dessert.
Green Bean CasseroleThe addition of cheese and mushrooms to the usual green bean casserole adds both flavor and extra creaminess. You may never cook green bean casserole in the oven again.
Squash and Cornbread CasseroleDress up traditional squash casserole with cornbread and a few veggies for a hearty Thanksgiving side dish that's perfect for the slow cooker.
Steamed Brown Bread with Currants and WalnutsSkip the dinner rolls, stay true to your slow cooker theme, and bake the bread in a slow cooker too! This moist dark bread is sweetened with molasses and dried currants and calls for whole wheat flour and cornmeal in addition to all-purpose flour.
Walnut-Stuffed Slow-Cooked ApplesNothing says "autumn" like the fragrance and flavor of cooked apples, especially when they're filled with a mixture of sweetened currants and walnuts and spiced with cinnamon.
Mocha Pudding CakeOoey, gooey, warm chocolate is all you need to say about this decadent dessert. Be sure to use a 3-quart slow cooker or it will be overcooked at 2 hours.

When they are out of feed they will consume their own brood. Feeding them is definitely a step in the right direction. Do you have other hives? Give them feed & a frame of brood if you can spare it. If she is failing they will build queen cells if the hive is strong enough. She may start laying in available cells on that frame if she's still in decent shape. Do everything you can & leave them alone for about four days then go in and evaluate any progress....JP
>there was no honey stores at all in the hiveThat would certainly lead to no brood and soon it will lead to no bees.>do you think i am on the right track and doing the right thing by feeding them?You would definitely be on the wrong track if you don't feed them...
G'day Rawfind, Where are you located? One thing you could try is make up some 2:1 syrup - t
Hi fellow beekeepers, Apon inspection of one of my hives yesterday I noticed there was no eggs or grubs present, the queen was still therethere was no honey stores at all in the hive, i thought how well behaved the girls were but now im thinking they are possibly weak.
My gut feeling is option #2 mate - leave it and see what happens

Lunch cart
Hopkinton twins bring healthy food to Lake Sunapee
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent | July 28. 2013 9:17PM
Twins Lucy and Blake Licata of Hopkinton, who run a healthy food stand on Lake Sunapee, sell a bag lunch to Sandra Cote, 51, of Newbury on Sunday. (DAN SEUFERT PHOTO)
"We used to have a lemonade stand, and we wanted to do something more than that," said Lucy.
They offer bag lunches for $5 that include apple slices, vegetable chips, free water, and a cookie. They offer the items and vegetables as side items as well.
The girls, who said they may want to go into their family's business when they get older, are running the stand to make money and to provide a healthy food alternative, but they have another worthy goal. A portion of what they make goes to The Molly Fund, a New Hampshire charity that helps children with cancer.
"Every time we sell a lunch, we love getting compliments, and then I love jumping in the lake when we're done," Lucy said.
"I like when there's a line of customers, and then they tell us they have heard of us," she said.

Thomas Vermaelen admits he's been taken aback by the sheer enthusiasm of Arsenal's fans in Malaysia.
The squad have enjoyed the warmest of welcomes on the first leg of their Asia Tour and trained in front of thousands of supporters at the Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday evening.
An even bigger crowd is expected for Wednesday's friendly against a Malaysia XI and Vermaelen is enjoying his first experience of the country.
"I was a little bit surprised [by how enthusiastic the fans are] but I heard that Arsenal is really popular over here," he told Arsenal Player.
"The fans love Arsenal and you could see that [at the signing session]. It's good to see that we are popular around the world. I don't think Malaysian fans are different to English fans though, the English are respectful to players too and always support the team no matter what."
The full interview with Thomas is now available on Arsenal Player. He discusses: team building in pre-season, dealing with the humidity, what the squad has been working on, seeing Malaysia and what he's been doing when he's not trainingCopyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The other day when I went out for some milk, I passed by a shop window display and noticed some lovely ceramic jugs in the shape of cardboard milk cartons and a range of colourful silicon rubber versions of paper coffee cups. All these iconic containers in unexpected materials! It got me thinking about my milk and my milk carton I just purchased. Here are five things from Museum Victoria about milk containers...
1. In 1860s Europe, if you wanted milk, the only milk container was a cow or possibly a metal milk can. By the 1870s, Europe saw the emergence of large metal milk cans. I found some old milk cans in the MV collection but then I stumbled across this beautifully decorated milk can from our Immigration and Creative Practice Collection.
Milk Can, painted by Yoka Van Den Brink, 1993, using Hindeloopen craft techniques which date back to the 16th century port of Hindeloopen, in Friesland, North of Holland. (SH 931248)Image: Taryn EllisSource: Museum Victoria
(I also just had to show you this intriguing image...)

2. Glass superseded metal. Some of you will remember the glass milk bottle. Invented in 1884, it meant milk could be stored for several days without spoilage because bottles could be sterilised, plus pasteurised milk (quickly heated and cooled) restricted bacterial contamination.
Left: How cute is the Imperial half pint milk bottle from the Gilchrist Dairy, Fitzroy in use between 1930 and 1959? (HT 14148) Right: One imperial pint milk bottle painted white on the inside; we didn't put the actual milk in the collection. (ST 038370).Image: L: Cherie McKeich and Eloise Coccoli R: UnknownSource: Museum Victoria
3. In 1915, John Van Wormer cried over split milk because it also involved broken glass (fair enough). He turned his frustration into an idea of a 'paper bottle' that had to be folded, glued and dipped in paraffin wax. He was granted the patent and ten years later he also had a machine to form, fill and seal the new 'Pure-pak' containers.
4. Plastic convenience superseded wax. In the 1940s the paraffin wax was replaced by polyethylene plastic. But the milk carton did not catch on until the 1960s when cartons included a new feature: the open-able spout.
5. It's possible we've gone full circle. If John Von Wormer were alive he would chuckle at this funky domestic accessory. I don't think he would use it as a milk jug for coffee, I reckon he'd use it as a vase.

Unified police have arrested a Midvale man under suspicion of trying to smother his girlfriend's infant son.
Police arrested the man Saturday morning and booked him into Salt Lake County Jail under suspicion of attempted child abuse homicide, as well as domestic violence and domestic violence in the presence of a child.
On Friday night, the man got into argument with his live-in girlfriend at an apartment on the 7900 South block of Main Street, said Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal. The 44-year-old man pushed the woman, and at some point in their argument, her 6-month-old son was crying, Hoyal said.
The boyfriend is not the baby's father, Hoyal added.
"He says he will go take care of the child … [eventually] the baby stops crying, she goes up to check on him and sees him with a blanket over [the baby's] face," Hoyal said.
The woman took the child and put him in the custody of an acquaintance while she crossed the street to the police precinct, Hoyal said. Officers checked on the baby and took him to Primary Children's Medical Center, where doctors found signs of previous child abuse in different stages of healing, along with injuries consistent with smothering, Hoyal said.
UPD is still investigating the older injuries and suspect the boyfriend, Hoyal said.
