The sap of some causes skin irritation in humans. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a person�s age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plant�s different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.

Clark Sees No. 1 Potential In Bobrovsky
by Rob Mixer / Columbus Blue JacketsFeeling "replaced" is never easy for any player (let alone a goaltender), and Blue Jackets goaltending coach Ian Clark could see it in Sergei Bobrovsky.
Fresh off a stellar campaign with the Philadelphia Flyers in 2010-11, Flyers GM Paul Holmgren instigated a complete organizational makeover. First, team captain Mike Richards and scoring center Jeff Carter were sent packing in exchange for prospects and draft picks.
Holgmren used the spare salary cap space to sign free agent goalie Ilya Bryzgalov to a nine-year contract, sending Bobrovsky down a rung on the organizational ladder. He had just won 28 games for the Flyers and posted a 2.59 goals-against average, but instead, would be relegated to backup goaltender duty.
Sergei Bobrovsky makes a save on Dion Phaneuf of Toronto. (NHL) |
Bobrovsky soldiered on and waited for his opportunity. This past weekend, he got it -- coming to the Blue Jackets in a trade that sent draft picks to the Flyers. One man who is extremely excited to have "Bob" in the organization is goaltending coach Ian Clark, who has watched Bobrovsky's game closely over the past few years and knows exactly what he's getting: a confident, hard-working kid who wants a chance to assert himself in the National Hockey League.
"He didn't have a long leash in Philadelphia," Clark told BlueJackets.com. "He's a skilled goaltender, and I'm certain that this is an opportunity he has been craving. We have high expectations for Sergei.
"The three things that are hallmarks of his game and his personality are his work ethic, his competitiveness, and his athleticism. From a goaltending perspective, you play the most crucial position on the ice and you should, by default, have that level of work ethic and competitiveness. You always need that from your goaltenders, just given the significance of the position."
Bobrovsky can make difficult saves look easy, and on several occasions, was responsible for keeping the Flyers in games. He's still only 23 years old, and in a prime position to make a run at a starting job in the NHL. As it stands right now, the Blue Jackets' NHL depth chart features Bobrovsky and incumbent Steve Mason between the pipes -- and according to GM Scott Howson, the two are on equal footing.
If that's how things shake out heading into training camp, Howson wants to see how the internal competition motivates each of his goaltenders.
"We don't have a No. 1," Howson said. "We will be more than happy to go to training camp - if that's all we do - then those two will fight it out to see who gets the most playing time, and I think that's a great competitive situation for our hockey team.
"It was a top priority to get (a goalie) either in trade or free agency. We had our eye on Sergei for a while, so it was just time to step up and make the deal."

Have you ever been driving and realize that you are about to reach a mileage milestone? You know, 50,000, 666666, your birthdate, things like that? The kind of number that you drive around the block so you can witness it or the kind of number that you mourn because some other driver in the family reached it and didn't even notice?
Well, we, my peeps, are about to hit the big 250 in votes for Blueberry Cove Inn's quest to pass the first hurdle in the small business grant competition. We are down to the last 13 votes.
Sadly, I have to walk away from the computer and take brush to the dump. This is one of the more glamorous jobs at the inn and I don't dare delegate it to someone else while I stare at the computer screen waiting.
So, while I'm gone someone get organized and vote. I'll even pick up a Del's on the way home to celebrate (and rehydrate.)
You know the routine: go to www.missionsmallbusiness.com, sign in at the bottom of the page, search for Blueberry Cove Inn and cast your vote.
Got to run, the dump seagulls are calling.

"The Leaderboard Golf Trainer The Leaderboard is the secret the world's very best golfers are using to increase their power and perfect their swings on the PGA Tour. Now you can use the exact equipment that Stuart Appleby, Adam Scott, Geoff Ogilvy, Michael Campbell, Mike Weir Robert Allenby and other proven winners on the PGA Tour have used to improve their golf swing and strengthen the muscles they use to hit the ball longer. But you don't have to be an elite golf professional to improve your game with the Leaderboard. The Leaderboard will give you immediate feedback your very first time using the product and begin improving your game automatically regardless of your level. Leaderboard is a revolutionary posture and stability platform with an adjustable resistance skate board that programs explosive power and accuracy into your golf swing. Used by Stuart Appleby, Adam Scott, Geoff Ogilvy, Michael Campbell, Mike Weir, Aaron Baddeley, Robert Allenby, KJ Choi and over 30 other touring pros worldwide, Leaderboard is the Australian golf biomechanics training innovation that automatically improves Power, Balance, Posture and Swing Dynamics WHILE YOU SWING! Click Here to watch the Leaderboard Instructional DVD Included With The Leaderboard: * Leaderboard Hitting Station with Adjustable Tees * Leaderboard Carrying Case & Excercise Mat * Instructional DVD featuring Stuart Appleby * BONUS Leaderboard Faults & Fixes DVD * BONUS Leaderboard Fitness DVD How it Works. Leaderboard simplifies the complexities of the golf swing and builds the solid foundation using essential techniques researched from Olympic sports, Martial Arts and Pilates. The sliding resistance platform allows you to train while swinging a club or performing a range of golf specific exercises which "lock" the trunk, or "core," in position and allow the upper body to rotate around this stable base. This is the foundation of the efficient, powerful action seen in today's PGA Tour pro's golf swing. Leaderboard not only ingrains synchronized movement, but also increases the golfer's power by strengthening the key muscles used during the golf swing. Leaderboard uses an adjustable resistance skate board to program more power into your lower body. Leaderboards variable resistance Power Cords located under skate. Stuart Appleby ""It is not a coincidence that since I have been using the Leaderboard as a key component in my training, my driving distance has increased tremendously. This is the first year that my average driving distance is over 300 yards which includes 3 drives over 400 yards! The funny thing about it is that I don't feel like I am swinging any harder, just simply more efficiently with my core muscles. Why have effortless power when you can have power effortlessly. I have found that Leaderboard has automatically done this for me."" Get a permanent fix to Golf's most frustrating faults: • Slicing • Reverse Pivot • Sliding Hips • Casting and Wristy shots • Coming over the Top • Sculled, Topped and Fat shots • Poor Timing and Deceleration • Posture and Balance FAQ's DOES IT WORK FOR BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HANDED GOLFERS? Yes. A left handed golfer simply turns orients the Leader board the opposite way as shown in the instructional material. CAN ALL LEVELS OF GOLFERS BENEFIT FROM USING THE LEADERBOARD? Yes. The best golfers in the world use the Leaderboard to train and strengthen their golf swing specific muscle in order to hit the ball farther with more accuracy. A beginner would make huge gains by using the Leaderboard because it would simplify their swing to the most basic movements by creating a very stable lower body stance. HOW QUICK WILL I SEE IMPROVEMENT? Immediately. The Leaderboard requires that you work against resistance while swinging your golf club. The moment you get off the Leaderboard and swing without this resistance, it feels as though your lower body is completely anchored and you can make your most powerful swing ever. HOW DOES THE LEADERBOARD WORK WITH DIFFERENT SIZE GOLFERS? The Leaderboard comes with removable brackets that limit the range that the moving skate can travel along the aluminum rails. This allows even the very youngest of junior golfers to get great instruction from the product. On the other side, the Leaderboard was made to operate effectively with up to 350lbs on it and travel a distance suitable to work for a 6'9"" golfer effectively. WHAT IS IT MADE OUT OF? The LeaderBoard's frame is constructed high-strength, lightweight aluminum that will stand up to even heavier golfers. The surface or deck that your feet go on, are made of strong slip-resistant plastic. There's also rubber pads on the bottom of the LeaderBoard that allow it to be used on a hard surface, while practicing at home for example; without it moving while you're standing on it.

Order a Leaderboard in January 2010 and was told it would be shipped in mid February. Never received it, thus I call the company ( In the Hole Golf) and was told they are now on back order until mid May. So I am skeptical about the Leaderboard Co. Sounds to me like they may not be in business too much longer. Must have paid Stuart Appleby too much to endorse it...

WASHINGTON — Consumer advocates worry that misconceptions and fears about the safety and effectiveness of flu vaccines are hindering efforts to get children vaccinated, according to a new survey.
The National Consumers League announced Tuesday the results of the survey, conducted in August and September by Harris Interactive, which included 1,756 adults, including 993 who have children. The survey found that 45% of adults who had not received a flu shot before said it was because they were in good health, while 29% expressed concerns about side effects, and 24% perceived it as ineffective. Meanwhile, one-in-five said they hadn't received it because they didn't perceive the flu as a serious illness, while another one-in-five was afraid of contracting the flu through vaccination. More than one-third of adults say the flu is very severe, with women more likely to say so than men.
Among parents, 31% said they had not received a vaccination because they didn't think the flu was serious, but parents were also more likely to express concern about their children contracting the flu than any other disease from a list, except meningitis. Meanwhile, parents were more likely than the general population to avoid receiving a vaccination due to fears of contracting the flu, while 33% were highly concerned about their child contracting the flu, and 44% said their child had received vaccine.
"Getting the flu can be serious, especially to children under 5 and other high-risk groups," NCL executive director Sally Greenberg said. "In our survey, however, we found the majority of parents of a child in this age group have not had them vaccinated with the flu vaccine."

Bob Nelson
Bob Nelson is a veteran of more than 50 years in broadcasting, and the creative force behind the legendary feature, "I Am Your Flag."
His career began in 1947 as a runner and copy boy for The Blue Network (later ABC) in New York.
During his college days at Syracuse University he established himself as a free-lance actor, writer and announcer and upon graduation joined the staff of the local NBC outlet where, for eight years, he wrote commercial copy and aired a radio news program. He also appeared on the city's first TV news program.
In 1959 he joined Westinghouse Broadcasting in Boston (WBZ) as a newswriter and host of the popular news magazine "Program PM," for which he wrote and aired the international award-winning documentary "Anne Frank: The Memory & The Meaning."
Following service at the Westinghouse Washington, DC news bureau — from which he aired a nightly news program carried by a number of stations — and a brief stint at WTIC in Hartford as an afternoon disc jockey, he joined the newly-formed all-news operation at KYW in Philadelphia in 1967.
In addition to duties as a news anchor, he became the station's arts & entertainment editor, which included service as the station's film and theater critic.
It was in 1975 that Nelson wrote the inspirational piece "I Am Your Flag," which has been published and aired throughout the country. The popular narrative has undergone three revisions to accommodate changing events, including the September 11th tragedies. KYW presents "I Am Your Flag" on air and on its web site every year, and continues to draw many listener requests for printed copies.
Nelson retired from full-time duties at KYW in 1991 but still serves as the station's arts reporter and critic on a part-time basis. You can hear his film, theater, and video reviews every week on KYW Newsradio. Bob lives in center city Philadelphia.

Greenlandic is an Eskimo-Aleut language spoken by about 57,000 people in Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) and Denmark. There are three main dialects: West Greenlandic (Kalaallisut), East Greenlandic (Tunumiisut) and North Greenlandic (Inuktun).
West Greenlandic is spoken by 54,500 people in Nuuk, Sisimiut and Kangerussuaq, is has been the official language of the Greenlandic autonomous territory since 2009 - before then it shared official status with Danish. West Greenlandic used in Greenland's schools, and is the sole medium of instruction in primary schools. It is also spoken by 7,000 people in Denmark. East Greenlandic is spoken by 3,000 people mainly in the Tasiilaq in southeast Greenland, and North Greenlandic is spoken by 1,000 people in Qaanaaq and Nord in the north of Greenland. North Greenlandic has more similarities with Inuktitut, an Eskimo-Aleut language spoken in Canada, than other Greenlandic dialects.
Greenlandic probably arrived in Greenland in the 13th century and was first described in the 1600s. In the 1700s Danish missionary compiled dictionaries and grammars of the language - the first Greenlandic dictionary was published in 1750, and the first grammar in 1760, both by Paul Edege (1708-1789).
Between 1851 and 1973 a complex orthography invented by Samuel Kleinschmidt, a missionary linguist, was used to write Greenlandic. A new orthography which bought the written language closer to the spoken language was introduced in 1973.

How to Get a Good Logo
This is part six of the One Week Blog Challenge series.
A bad logo on a good design is like a sock on a birthday cake
Your logo is often the first thing that people will see when they visit your website. While it's possible to just use a text header when starting out, I'd highly recommend getting a really good logo from the beginning (bad logo design can actually cost you). Logos help establish your brand and credibility.
Last night I put together a list of 21 Creative and Minimal Logo Designs to Inspire You (also check out more logo resources at the end of that post). I would suggest not following any specific design trend – you don't want to end up with a logo that looks ridiculous in 2 years. Go with something that is timeless and goes well on business cards and stationary, not just your website. Here's a good list of critiques of popular logos that you might find useful and a site dedicated to the art.
Here are a few options to get a good logo:
Designing Your Own
Cost: Free
If you have Photoshop or Illustrator skills and are good at design, you can always design your own logo or follow some great tutorials online. If you have the creativity and skills to go this route check out some of these posts:
- Logo Design Process from Concept to Completion
- The Ultimate Guide to Designing a Logo
- Dissecting Logo Design
- 10 Principles og Logo Design Masters
Paying a Designer
Cost: $200-600+
You can work one on one with a good designer (like Patrick Winfield, Joan Pons Moll, or Logoholic) that has a good portfolio or find a Logo Design Shop with a decent portfolio. I prefer an individual since a lot of logo shops just churn out logos without the detail and care you usually get from a creative individual.
You can also go through a site like LogoPond, find some logo styles you like and lookup the designer. Then you can view their profile, which often lists their personal website and contact information and see if they can create a logo for you. This would take a little more legwork on your part, but would ensure you get someone whose work you like.
Putting on a Logo Contest
Cost: $100-300+
This has become a good option with the rising popularity of sites like 99designs, Hatchwise, Crowdspring, and Designers Contest become fairly popular with the. Here are some comparisons of a few services.
With these services, you set a price you are willing to pay, create a design brief (tell them what you want), and have a live competition where designers from all over compete for the prize. You can even suggest tweaks are you go along and eliminate designs you don't like.
On the cheaper end, you can also use Digital Point forums to put on a logo contest. Once in a while you can get a good design for something like $50 (most often you get mixed results though).
What I'm Doing for HotShotPhoto.com
For now I am designing my own logo in Photoshop. It might be temporary and I might go with a logo design contest depending on the feedback I get from people.
Let me know what you think of this design:

Great blog post! Love how you broke down the options for people on different ways to get a logo!
I have just started to launch a fun project where i will design 24 logos for 24 different business's in 24 hours!
This is something that has never been done. So please check it out at http://www.in-24-hrs.com
Markus, thanks for mentioning Hatchwise!
Your article and Logo Design are great… And you can do little changes in (HOTSHOTPHOTO) design Logo Like; you can put one lady with wearing Santa Clothes in red color. When You see O in HOT, you set above red Santa cap then in circle lady face and rest of body with perfect standing or styling posture. Mine concept is to show hot lady with shot in photo. So, that the mine whole idea behind your logo. Overall your logo is great…
Great article, although I do have to disagree slightly with the "logo shops just churn out logos without the detail and care" I would agree that "some" do, but I'm not sure I would go with "a lot" as there are plenty that work directly with the customer to create a unique look that works for them.
I really like your logo, but you should consider creating versions that can be applied vertically as well, that logo would look really small if you ever had to use it in a skyskraper type application with limited pixel width.
Thanks for the video info, very helpful. I wanted to add my experience since you mentioned 99designs. I paid for their $295 option (plus another $19 add-on). I received "115 entries" but most of them were very similar (minor color/font adjustments). I was looking for something creative and unique but unfortunately they had no creativity; some even used cheap clipart. I can't use any of them. I could've put something better together in MS PowerPoint.
Hi, I don't have enough money to pay a designer to do a logo for me. I wish I could find an online resource where I can learn how to design my own logo by myself.
Would love to have my own logo but the price will surely hurt my wallet. I still have no logo for my blog. I'll try to make one though using the free resources online.
Great video and I agree, these three ways are the best. I would honestly go straight to a professional designer. Contests work, but often you don't get the highest quality logo.
The "Art of Blog" logo is simple and minimalistic, but I think could be redesigned to make it more memorable for all readers.
I like the HotShotPhoto logo as well, though I would personally use the aperture symbol. It can be incorporated seamlessly and while many photo logos use it, you can think of a creative flair to make yours unique.
It is good article ..

President Barack Obama and his administration appear to care about satisfying "special interest groups" within the Democratic base more than protecting the lives of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, the ICE union boss told lawmakers Tuesday.
"Internally, the agency, in my opinion is falling apart. Morale is at an all-time low, according to recent federal surveys. The agency refuses to train our officers on these new policies, resulting in mass confusion and frustration… nobody really knows what's going on," Chris Crane, president the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, told the House Judiciary Committee.
He went on: "As our officers are investigated by ICE for enforcing U.S. immigration law as they see other officers threatened with suspensions for lawful arrests, increasingly officers feel they have become the enemy of this administration."
Watch a portion of Crane's testimony below:
Crane said ICE agents have been "essentially prohibited" from enforcing U.S. immigration law. He said agents are unable to arrest illegal aliens who are in the country illegally or immigrants who have overstayed their visas. "It's basically not illegal anymore, generally speaking, not unless the alien has been convicted of a criminal offense."
He said ICE agents are being forced to accept any illegal alien's claim as to whether he or she graduated or is attending high school or college, thus qualifying them for Obama's "deferred action for childhood arrivals" (DACA) privileges. Agents are "powerless" in requiring illegal aliens to prove they actually qualify.
"Death or serious injury to ICE officers and agents appears more acceptable to ICE, DHS, and Administration leadership, than the public complaints that would be lodged by special interest groups representing illegal aliens," Crane said, according to a report by the Washington Examiner.
Several ICE agents have filed a lawsuit against the Obama administration over policies that prevent immigration officials from enforcing federal immigration law.

The prevalence of child sexual abuse is difficult to determine because it is often not reported; experts agree that the incidence is far greater than what is reported to authorities. CSA is also not uniformly defined, so statistics may vary. Statistics below represent some of the research done on child sexual abuse.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Children's Bureau report Child Maltreatment 2010 found that 9.2% of victimized children were sexually assaulted (page 24).
Studies by David Finkelhor, Director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center, show that:
According to a 2003 National Institute of Justice report, 3 out of 4 adolescents who have been sexually assaulted were victimized by someone they knew well (page 5).
A Bureau of Justice Statistics report shows 1.6 % (sixteen out of one thousand) of children between the ages of 12-17 were victims of rape/sexual assault (page 18).
A study conducted in 1986 found that 63% of women who had suffered sexual abuse by a family member also reported a rape or attempted rape after the age of 14. Recent studies in 2000, 2002, and 2005 have all concluded similar results (page 8).
Children who had an experience of rape or attempted rape in their adolescent years were 13.7 times more likely to experience rape or attempted rape in their first year of college (page 9).
A child who is the victim of prolonged sexual abuse usually develops low self-esteem, a feeling of worthlessness and an abnormal or distorted view of sex. The child may become withdrawn and mistrustful of adults, and can become suicidal (page 1)
Children who do not live with both parents as well as children living in homes marked by parental discord, divorce, or domestic violence, have a higher risk of being sexually abused (page 171).
In the vast majority of cases where there is credible evidence that a child has been penetrated, only between 5 and 15% of those children will have genital injuries consistent with sexual abuse (page 2).
Child sexual abuse is not solely restricted to physical contact; such abuse could include noncontact abuse, such as exposure, voyeurism, and child pornography (page 1).
Compared to those with no history of sexual abuse, young males who were sexually abused were five times more likely to cause teen pregnancy, three times more likely to have multiple sexual partners and two times more likely to have unprotected sex, according to the study published online and in the June print issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health.

The grandson of Jack Nicklaus managed to walk away from a scary motorcycle accident this spring in Tallahassee, Fla.
Nick O'Leary, Florida State's starting tight end, was uninjured in the wreck, which occurred May 2. Tomahawk Nation has video and a report:
O'Leary's motorcycle collided with the front of the Lexus and shattered before crashing into the windshield of a Star Metro Bus, which was stopped at an authorized bus stop. O'Leary was ejected and narrowly missed crashing into the bus. He slid approximately 75-100 feet parallel to the bus, and miraculously, can be seen standing up and walking away immediately after.
According to the accident report, O'Leary was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the Lexus was cited with the causation of the crash.
"He wrecked that daggone scooter and was banged up for about a month," Coach Jimbo Fisher said at ACC media day. but noting that O'Leary weighs 247 pounds, the heaviest he has been at Florida State, and that he "looks very good."

The grizzly-named composer Bear McCreary, most famous for putting together the score on the recent Battlestar Galactica TV series, has announced on his blog that he'll be composing the music for Zipper Interactive's upcoming SOCOM 4.
McCreary previously did the scoring work on Capcom's Dark Void (and 8-bit spin-off Dark Void Zero), and for SOCOM 4, he says he's written, "muscially, a franchise re-boot," with over eight hours of original music featuring "ethnic percussion, virtuosic Asian stringed and woodwind instruments, and the spectacular, other-worldly tones of the gamelan." Insert joke here about how that Indonesian ensemble's name actually looks like "game LAN."
He also says that the soundtrack will fulfill his dream "of a video game score that would feel as if it were being composed specifically for each player, adapting and shifting perfectly to capture the mood of the individual gamer." Which sounds fun, but if we start hearing an orchestral version of "All Along the Watchtower" as our individual score, what exactly does that mean?

Has anyone purchased the Turbines on Ebay from "hi-end-wholesale"? They seem to have the cheapest price ($101 w/free shipping), but I'm a little leary with the look of their site.
MacMall is probably a safer choice. Has anyone had a bad experiency buying them from MacMall? The CSR indicated that they were definitely in stock, even though on the web site it shows availability as "Generally in stock". I need them by next Weds at the latest, but I don't really want to pay for expedited shipping..... |
P.S: When I called in last Thursday, they said they had 100+ in stock.

Bosch blue routers
I am shopping for my first router. Noting all the comments WRT Makita and Triton routers and their prowess, I have come across some comments in old woodworking magazines (and occasioanlly on-line) about the competence of Professional series (i.e. blue) Bosch routers.
Looking around, I can't find any new for sale (nor at Bosch website). Does anyone know why? Are they in hiatus waiting to issue a new one? Or have they given up on them? I would consider a Bosch green but they only have 1/4in and most of what I have read says 'buy 1/2in'.

Bosch Blue Router
I have a Bosch Blue Router.
It has had a couple of problems.
One I found was the handles used when plunge routing flex a little, plastic handles on a plastic body/chassis.
The most serious issue, again plastic body/chassis related is main bearing comes loose in plastic mountings. This allows your bit to move up and down in the router, dues to the whole motor shaft going in and out.
This of course is a major problem if you are using the depth gauge and you adjust it all up, then fire up the router and things move a little. About 1/16 inch.
I have sent it for repair, twice now, still not happy with it.
I do like the speed control on it.
I tend not to use it anymore, I have a pair of Makita 1/2inch routers that are old > 20 years, they have solid plunge handles, metal chassis, but no speed adjustment.
I am not saying the current Bosch Blue routers are no good. Mine is probably 5 years old.
I do like Bosch Blue series overall, but they have really let me down with the router. I have a Belt Sander(5yrs) and Drill(20yrs), very happy with them. I bought the router based on the good performance of the Drill.
But, whilst looking at routers in general, have a look at the plunge handles, how solid are they, can you flex them at all? If you can, keep looking.
Good luck with your search.

If memory serves me correct, Bosch have discontinued their blue range of routers in OZ. The last one that I have seen is the GOF 1300ACE model, and that was more than a year ago (old stock at that as well).

Bosch Blue Routers
I have 4 bosch blue routers (GOF 1300 CE x 2, GOF 1300 ACE x 2) which I mainly use with my leigh D4 dovetail, isoloc, finger joint, and through mortice templates. I have no problems with any of them and all were purchased 2nd hand on ebay for around $200 each (cf ~$380 new). They are easy to use for handheld work because they aren't heavy and have variable speed/soft start. They are also fairly quiet.
BTW, I have a total of 10 routers - 4 bosch, 1 trimmer bosch, 3 triton (1 big & 2 small), an axminster, and a 30+ year old black & decker fixed base router (made in australia). If you count the dremel in the router base attachment that makes 11. Guess what? I use them all - I like having them setup for one purpose to save time. Because I got them 2nd hand - I haven 't had to outlay a lot to get them either.

Thanks, lpg_falcon. Some good advice there.
10 routers, Aju??!! I can see what SWMBO would say about that!

Pheno, if a Bunnies is nearby, check out if they have any of the little Triton Routers (MOF001) left at $99. They are 1/2"
Also I have the little Bosch Green 1/4" router (POF 400A) basically idiot proof
"10 routers, Aju??!! I can see what SWMBO would say about that!"
I have 3 so far, the breed like hand planes/chisels/lathe tools etcPat

Thanks for all the help and interesting info on Bosch. I quite like Bosch stuff for some things as an entry to some tools but without buying something that will need replacing in the near future. I bought a Bosch green power saw and jig saw early on, invested in a Metabo cordless drill, and just bought a Blue GDR 10.8 Li impact driver (love it!!!).
As it happens, I saw a 1400W Triton at Bunnings the other day for $298 but it had bits missing, like spanner etc; so I kept walking. Very recently, I saw one on ebay for $198 and now I sit by the front door waiting for it. $99 in Bunnings?! Doh!!!

Hi all,
Routers have never been a Bosch specialty. The firms core business was from 1889 on- the automotive industry, it started with ignition magnetos and it invented the fuel injection. There was an assortment of starter motors, dynamos, wiper motors and car electronics as well. A good Bosch company history is available at Wikipedia.
Electric tools were also made in the German Leinfelden Works, but these had an emphasis on garage use and car assembly lines. So there were metal drills, screwdrivers and a vast range of grinders, but no woodworking tools. From early on, there was close cooperation with the Swiss firm Scintilla, which also made magnetos. Lindberghs "Spirit of St.Louis" plane used a Scintilla magneto. Scintilla had a tool factory as well and Bosch decided to outsource the manufacturing of most tool models to Switzerland. But some heavy drill and specialty grinder models kept being made or at least were assembled in Leinfelden, recognisable by "Made in Germany". Others bore the name of the Soleure-based Scintilla firm. There was also some license manufacturing of a few Bosch grinder models in Romania in the late 80s.
In order to make a good start in the woodworking world, Bosch cooperated with the Karl M. Reich machine and tool factory in Nürtingen. Reich specialised in woodworking tools and was famous for its Holz Her brand. A large and a small planer, a large metal and a smaller nylon model belt sander and some circular saw models were ordered from Reich and were virtually unchanged Holz Her models, rendered in blue and hammerite silver, with Bosch stickers and type plates fixed on them. As a return favor, Reich also ordered tools from the Bosch/Scintilla setup, like drills, orbital sanders and DIY jig saws. The electric jig saw was a "Bosch invention"; one of the firms employees fixed a scroll saw blade to his wifes pedal driven sewing machine to make fine wood parts and sold the idea to Bosch. Bosch saw its potential, but since this tool type didnt fit in the garage tool core business, they asked Scintilla to develop the idea into an electric tool, which was introduced in 1947. Although Scintilla made both a blue Bosch professional grade jig saw and a green DIY line, Holz Her gained a license to build their own and took on its own professional jig saw development. Only a DIY model was ordered from Scintilla by Holz Her. Also strange was the fact that Holz Her made a router model, but Bosch never ordered a blue livery of it.
Instead, Bosch did its own router experiments. For professional use, there was a vast range of German competing brands and assortments (Elu, Scheer, Mafell, Striffler, Haffner) so, to mingle with these long time experts as a freshman, Bosch considered a whole new tool development on its own accord a high risk. It would take another 20 years before there would be a blue Bosch router.
In the early 80s, routers were discovered by DIY enthusiasts with a bit more cash to spend, and many tools brands catered for this new demand with small light models, which could not be too expensive. Elu and AEG outsourced the making of a small router model to Perles from Switzerland, the result of which were the MOF 96 and its similiar sister OF500. Bosch decided it could also have a go, since the DIY market proved profitable for many tool brands. The DIY-market was also a bit more forgiving than the demanding professionals were, so router experiments in the DIY-niche were less of a risk to the Bosch brand reputation. Bosch looked closely at the way Metabo tackled this challenge; they made a router base with a standard 43 mm Euro collar to fit a motor that was already in the tool catalogue. Metabo even had a drill model with such a 43 mm collar at the motor commutator hind axle end. A DIY owner of such a drill only had to purchase the router base to profit from this extra function. Furthermore, should the marketing of the router base flop, then the motors could still be sold as grinder units and stay in the catalogue. Bosch copied the Metabo tactic and used one of its existing straight die grinder models as a power base for its own Euro collar router base. This small model 1204 grinder was a blue professional model, but its input power was only 320 Watt. This cylindrical motor type was in use in the 1570-series jig saws and a range of small grinders. Bosch knew that, as a router, it would never be an alternative for professionals. 320 Watts are even meager for a laminate trimmer, but for DIY router jobs, Bosch considered 320 Watts acceptable. Therefore (although the motor itself still had blue quality) the first Bosch router was green from the start. It was called POF 50; Bosch rather advertised its 50 mm plunge depth than its small motor. With the upgrade in power of the blue straight grinder designs, the Bosch DIY POF-router was upgraded simultaneously. The POF50 was cranked up with a 500 Watt motor and with further upgrades to 550 and 600 Watts, the power figure became serious enough for the model to be named after (thus POF 550 and POF 600).
Bosch was also active in the USA; already from 1909 on. US-made Bosch magnetos were distributed under the name "American Bosch". Bosch was always a firm with a large number of cooperations and acquisitions, and Bosch power tools adapted to US demands and safety standards were also made. There were Bosch factories in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Kentucky.
The influence of the American Bosch factories can be noticed in the designs of the first large Bosch routers. Demand was greater in the US than in Europe; since the US has a lot of wood building and Europe has an emphasis on brick. With so many German competitors there and with the US being such a large market, sales opportunities for Bosch routers would be better in the US. So the GOF and more modern DIY POF series contain many American characteristics and details. The GBS100A(E) belt sander and the blue reciprocal saw line are also of a mainly US-oriented design. Finally, the GMF 1400 CE router cant be more "American" than a traditional US-type router looks on average.
I know the GOF1300ACE and the GBS100A from own experience, and i find both of them nothing special. The same quality can be had from DeWalt (Black & Decker) or Ryobi or Makita or Hitachi, if not better. Since the blue Bosch routers are designs ranging from 15 years back up to the present, it can be said that they are subject to modern engineering and production techniques. That means that, within certain product ranges (like routers from 900 to 1300 Watts or from 1600 to 2200 Watts), all tools from virtually all brands are very much the same when it comes to size, power, features, use of materials and the way they are put together. Were it not for some recognisable details and colours, Bosch routers might as well be made by Felisatti, Perles, Casals, Peugeot, Ryobi or Shenzhen Zhuzou. Product differences nowadays tend to be more and more a thing of brand emotions and overrated details than real advantages in durability and capacities.
This was part one.

Part two.
As for the failing top bearing, with resulting play in the outer ring seating; this is not exclusively a Bosch failure. I encountered this in several other makes and types, including the much revered vintage Elu routers like the MOF31, -98 and 77. These have steel seatings moulded into the fibre reinforced nylon, and ive seen cases in which the grey nylon around this seating had been molten away. When checking the ball bearing itside, this had in many cases run hot up to a blue colour and either ran very cumbersome or had seized entirely.
Bearings in dust laden air streams are known to fail sooner than normal. Reason is the accumulated dust, which acts as a sponge and draws lubricants away by means of capillary action. When a tool is operated for more than a few minutes, ball bearings tend to warm up a bit, especially at high rpm and with tight fitting dust seals, which cause friction and additional heat. The grease inside the bearing softens up a bit when heated and gets more runny. In older bearings, the grease (which is basically mineral or synthetic oil hardened by a base metal hydroxide like lithium) is also known to desintegrate; the oil components leak out and the lesser fluid bits stay inside, drying up faster still when the oil parts have gone. Leaking out of the oil components in grease is also known from gear casings (drills, angle grinders, circular saws, etc.).
Bearings typically known to fail because of oil syphoned-off by dust, were the sleeve bearings in the back of 60s and 70s Black & Decker T-grip drills and the other best known example is indeed that of router top bearings. The bottom ones at the router bit side are much larger, have a better dust labyrinth and contain more lubricant and are often still okay when the top ones already need a rinse and grease-change or a replacement. So the upper bearing at the air intake and commutator side, tends to run hot and dry and makes funny noises first, unless the lower bitside bearing is maltreated with a hammer or some other sort of violence. A smell of heated air from the top louvre (reminiscent of that from dusty fan heaters or rising air above a soldering iron) is the first hint that something has run very hot. It may be the commutator or the copper windings after prolonged heavy use, but it may also be the bearings.
To find that out, check for friction and smooth running without rumble. If there is any unusual noise and it points to a bearing, replace it soon, by a similar hi-rpm type. It may save you from costlier tool damage that is sure to follow.

Friends, teammates gather to remember Stoughton teen killed by older brother
Stoughton — Nearly 300 people gathered at St. James Catholic Church Sunday night to remember 17-year-old David Wade, a sweet, goofy young man with a fierce streak of originality and a passion for football, who was shot and killed on Saturday afternoon by his older brother.
"He was one of the nicest kids I know," said Malachi Baugh, 16, a junior at Stoughton High School and Wade's teammate on the varsity football team. Wade, said Baugh, had trained hard all summer to earn a starting position on the team. For the first time, Wade was getting great playing time as a defensive tackle.
"He would have had a great year," said Baugh. "The year of his life."
Wade was shot once in the chest by his 21-year-old brother in the basement of their Stoughton home, just a mile from where his friends came to pray for his family on Sunday. Wade's brother had only recently received his firearms license, according to Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey, and the gun belonged to a family member.
No charges have been filed in the shooting, which is still under investigation. Police said they have not ruled out that the shooting may have been an accident, according to David Traub, spokesman for the Norfolk District Attorney's Office.
Reverend John Kelly, who said the Sunday evening Mass, said Wade's family is in seclusion. They did not attend the Mass, and requested, through Kelly, that a proposed candlelight vigil be postponed.
A person who answered the phone at the Wade residence declined to speak with a reporter.
Before Sunday's mass, Wade's friends stood in tight groups, hugging and crying. Many wore team jackets.
"This is the time and place where you need to be, in God's house," Kelly told them during the Mass. As Wade's friends, he told them, they must promise to be there for each other. "This is what we do. This is what we need to be as a faith-filled community."
Instead of going out tonight, he told them, go home and be with family.
"Your moms and your dads need you," he said.
Wade was a three-sport athlete, his friends said – a football player, a member of the track team, and a cheerleader.
"He was not afraid to go against the tide," said Brendan Malley, 18, who played football last year with Wade. Malley is now a freshman at Bridgewater State. "He had the guts to stick with [cheerleading], even if people gave him grief for it."
Wade's 21-year-old brother, who police have not named, was a cheerleader too, said 17-year-old Callie Concannon, who said she met Wade during their freshman year, when they were stunt partners on the cheerleading team. He would anchor their tricks, tossing her high up in the air.
"I always felt safe with him," she said.
Wade could always make her laugh, she said, no matter what was going on. He was, she said, the "spitting image" of his 21-year-old brother, and the two were always together.
"They looked alike, they acted alike," Concannon said.
"I know people are going to blame [his brother] for this, especially those who don't know him, but he's honestly a good person," she said, as she started to cry. "He's going to have a really hard time with this. Pray for him, too. He has to deal with something no one can ever imagine."

Some big issues resonating with bank customers include:
- Free checking. The banking industry's shift toward fee-for-checking programs has backfired in a big way. Banks are finding that consumers really will leave a bank if they're charged for a savings or checking account. Whatever bank marketing types believe, U.S. banking consumers view free checking as a "primary banking need."
- Convenience. Bank customers choose a financial institution largely for convenience. Now, banks are offering programs and services that emphasize "ease of use" for consumers. That includes online and …
- Mobile banking services. As smartphones proliferate, consumers are insisting that their banks develop a full range of mobile banking services. According to ach Power, 36% of financial consumers viewed mobile banking as an "essential product" last year, compared with 21% in 2011.
The study says that 10% of consumers changed their bank in the past year. Mostly, those departures were linked to higher fees (especially for fees on checking accounts), mediocre customer service, and accounting errors. So banks now have a better picture of what consumers want and expect from their financial institutions.
From the looks of things, banks are doing a moderately better job of meeting the needs of an increasingly demanding banking public.

Home Country: Mexico
Languages: Spanish, English and some French
Why She's On Our Radar: Stephanie Sigman seemingly came out of nowhere to land the demanding lead role in Gerardo Naranjo's "Miss Bala," playing in the Un Certain Regard section. In the film, Sigman plays Laura Guerrero, a young woman from a simple background in the suburbs of Tijuana who dreams of becoming a beauty queen. While attending a party with her close friend, fate intervenes when gangsters sneak into the well-guarded event and go on a killing spree. Worried about the fate of her friend, she asks the police for help. The cop she goes to, however, is in cahoots with the gangsters and turn her over. The leader, Lino (Noe Hernandez) takes a shine to her, though his 'mercy' is not without peril. Embedded into the crime family, she finds herself obligated to perform heists and anything else demanded of her. At every turn, with the gangsters and the police, she's forced to pick the lesser of two evils.
If this film is any indication, people in Mexico and beyond, will be seeing a lot more of Sigman.
indieWIRE Asks: How did you get the role of Laura Guerrero?
Gerardo saw my picture and he was thinking of me for the character. He gave me the script and I loved it and then there was a long casting process.
What attracted you to the role?
What attracted me was the story but mostly, I fell in love with the character. She's so fragile and at the same time so strong. I think she realizes these [traits] over the course of events. I didn't think she knew how strong she was and that's what I liked. I also liked that she's so innocent about a lot of things and that was in part what was so great about her. It was a challenge with the amount of emotion and action required with Laura Guerrero.
What sort of preparation did you do to shape the character of Laura?
I read a lot of books about what is happening in Mexico. It was all tough to read and not so nice to hear about what's going on in Mexico. I also saw many films and interviews about the subject. Gerardo also had me watch films in which the lead is a strong woman and I really just talked with him which was really crucial.
Was there any intimidation on your part to take on such a heavy role, especially since it's so early in your acting career?
I talked with Gerardo a lot about this. I was scared with some of the scenes going in, but ultimately, I trusted Gerardo with the whole process. I just decided to give myself to the role.
Were you fearful about tackling such subject matter?
No, I wouldn't say there was fear. We know it's a difficult subject to talk about, but the way the movie is done is from a good angle. We're not trying to pass judgement or make light of anything. There's only good intention. But of course with a movie that deals with a drug/crime theme, people may say, 'Oh, another one of these movies' – I don't see it that way, but some people may say that when they hear about what the film is generally about. But as far as fear, I wasn't so scared.
I was so impressed with the complexity you brought to Laura. She's on the one hand brave and strong. On the other, she's a victim in this situation, having to choose the lesser of two evils in any given situation. Am I describing her situation correctly?
She doesn't have much of a choice. I think what I like most about the movie, is that it doesn't pass a direct judgment – not about good or bad guys… It focuses on the situation. It [describes] what is happening.
How do you feel this story is important right now?
It's important because of everything that's happening unfortunately in Mexico. It's important because we can use films and art to express what is happening around all of us. It's happening around me. It's certainly not that I like it, but it's there.
Somehow I think that if we can express it, then it draws attention to the situation and maybe it can be an [agent] of change. It helps create a consciousness in people. Of course I knew about the situation before doing this film, but it created more of a consciousness about what is happening and it made me more curious to learn about it.
The film is going to be controversial in Mexico, but I think it's something that will be good both in Mexico and hopefully the U.S.
What sort of roles are you looking to do in the future?
In the future, I'd like to do something different. I love action of course. But I think when you read a script, you can just feel it. I don't have that much experience yet, so I don't completely know how I'll know what feels right, but I [suspect] I'll feel it. I want to do a lot of different characters – definitely not always the same kind of character. I love that life provides so many choices and I want to be able to experience that.
My English used to be better [laughs]. I want to continue working in Mexico, but I'd also like to work in other countries eventually too. Working behind the camera is interesting for me too. I admit I don't know a lot about it still [laughs] but I'm still young so I have a lot to learn.

South Korean boffins say they have found a way to cut battery charging times for electric cars from hours down to just minutes.
The discovery changes the way materials used in regular batteries are treated, according to aYonhapreport.
The report says researchers placed battery ingredients in a solution containing graphite which was later carbonised "to form a dense network of conductors throughout the electrodes of the battery".
This means that the energy-holding particles of the battery begin re-charging at the same time. With traditional batteries these particles apparently only charge from the outside-in.
The end result of all of this particulate boffinry is that the resulting batteries can be recharged in anything between 1/30 and 1/120 of the time taken to re-energise conventional rechargeable batteries.
"The research is especially remarkable in that it overcame limitations of existing lithium-ion batteries," said Cho Jae-phil, a professor at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology.
"We will further move closer to developing a new secondary battery for electric cars that can be fully recharged in less than a minute."
It will certainly take more than cutting charge times to make electric vehicles more popular throughout the world, with cost one of the biggest barriers at present.
New research from McKinsey & Co, for example, argues that only if manufacturers can acquire batteries for less than $250 per kWh will electric cars be offered at competitive prices. At present the price is more like $500 per kWh, it said.
The South Korean research, entitled Carbon-Coated Single-Crystal LiMn2O4 Nanoparticle Clusters as Cathode Material for High-Energy and High-Power Lithium-Ion Batteries, can be found here. ®

how do we differentiate between a "line" and a "sentence"?
1 answer
A sentence is a grammatical construct: subject, verb, object, etc., period. It contains a complete idea or statement and can be of varying lengths. A line is a typographical construct: one printed line on a page regardless of whether it is a complete sentence, several sentences, etc. Overall, if you were told to "Look at the fifth line," you could easily find it without doing any reading or looking for punctuation; you can see the printed lines on the page. If you were told to "Look at the fifth sentence," you would have to look at the punctuation to see where the sentences start and stop.

About MeI've been taking pictures for about five years now and I'm still quite new to the industry. Iv been in and out of college, but since photography is my passion, I try to continuously use my camera.Photo Journalism and fashion photography are my favorite themes. I enjoy taking serous pictures that tell a story or relate to a current event, but I also love to take fun fashion pictures where I get to come up with new ideas. Either way, art, models and intensity are usually involved in creating my best work. I would love to start working with up and coming models. In the past I have only used my friends as my subjects, but I've quickly learned that modeling and taking direction doesn't come easily to everyone and a bad model can ruin a potentially good shot. I am usually open to anyone and any ideas they might have. As long as we work together and pull our ideas into one solid creation, we can be left with something original, artistic and amazing.
