Unless bearings come prelubricated and sealed from the factory, they will periodically need a change of lubricant. How often depends on operating conditions and lubricant type.
There are three basic kinds of bearing lubricants: synthetic oils, mineral oils, and greases. Synthetic lubricants generally last longer at elevated temperatures than their mineral-oil counterparts. And some types have special low-temperature and low-flammability properties. However, hydrolysis or the tendency to absorb water -- even from exposure to atmospheric humidity -- tends to shorten the life of some phosphate, silicate, and ester synthetic oils. Avoiding hydrolysis may require special additives, desiccated air, and filtration with activated alumina or clay-based Fullers earth.
Mineral lubricating oils deteriorate when they oxidize or react chemically with dissolved atmospheric oxygen. This raises oil acidity and encourages varnishlike surface deposits, both of which can shorten bearing life. Lubricant makers add oxidation inhibitors to help break down hydroperoxides that form during what's called the initial oxidation step.
Additives extend oil life by interrupting oxidation chain reactions and by deactivating any catalytic metal surfaces touching the oil. Oxidation-inhibiting additives are slowly consumed during the initial oxidation period. Adding more inhibitor within this time frame lengthens the induction period and delays acceleration of oxidation reactions.
Elevated temperature is probably the biggest contributor to oil oxidation. Oil life L, drops by a factor of two for each 10°C temperature rise between 100 to 150°C. Knowing oil operating temperature T (°C), lets you estimate oil life in hours:
where kl depends on oil type. For example, the equation predicts oil in a turbine bearing at a temperature of 138°C degrades about 180 times faster than the same oil in a turbine oil reservoir at 71°C. It's not uncommon for lubrication systems to have several temperature zones. Each of the n zones with oil volume Cn has a deterioration rate of 1/Ln. Summing the individual contributions:
gives the overall deterioration rate for all oil in a system.
However, the above approach assumes no water or other contamination, no adverse catalytic effects from copper and iron surfaces, and no oxidation-inhibitor evaporation, all of which can cut expected oil life. Adjusting the above oil-life calculations with an equipment-dependent factor accounts for these items. Electric motors and hydraulic systems, for example, use a factor of three. In other words, oil in these systems lasts about 66% less than what oil-life equations predict. A factor of two to five works for steam turbines and compressors while a factor of 10 is good for heavy-duty gas turbines.
When to change the oil
In all cases, improved bearing life calls for periodic (typically monthly) laboratory checks of oil samples for oxidation, viscosity change, or contaminant accumulation. Oil should be changed when its acidity rises by 0.2 to 0.3-mg KOH/gm above that for new oil, or when viscosity changes more than 5%.
Fortunately, several methods are available to rapidly evaluate oil condition. These include electrochemical, microscale oxidation tests, differential thermal analysis, and high-pressure differential scanning calorimetry.
One test, called Fourier TranSform Infrared Spectroscopy, estimates remaining oxidation inhibitor in an oil sample by the amount of light it absorbs in the 2 to 50-micron wavelength range. An oil change or replenishing of oxidation inhibitor are signaled when oxidation-inhibitor concentration drops by half or more from original values. Alternatively, turbine and other circulating-system oils may use the ASTM D2272 rotating bomb oxidation test (RBOT). Here, a value below 50 min indicates marginal remaining life.
Grease metrics
As with oil, acidity and antioxidant content are important indicators of the life remaining in grease. But greases contain oil and thickeners, both of which also influence lifetime. Oil content is a measure of remaining life and can be quantified in a grease sample by atomic absorption spectroscopy or by solvent separation and weighing of the remaining oil.

Font Fancy: 9x15
I've tried a lot of different fonts over the years, but I always come back to the most boring and plain screen font ever. It doesn't even have a real name--I know it only as "9x15" and it comes with X11. It's pretty much the only font I've ever coded in, and I've got my emacsen all hard-wired to use it, on both Mac and Linux. Click on the image below to see the full-size version (Stupid Blogger image upload insists on resizing my images).
I'd love to find an actual vector font that looks just like 9x15, but I've yet to find one, despite quite a bit of hunting.

Is it your favorite monospace font, or favorite font period?
Mine is 10x20, FWIW, which is qualitatively pretty similar to your 9x15, and I'm about a zillion times happier writing code in it than in anything else.
But I've always felt that monospace fonts and proportional fonts are, shall we say, separate magisteria, performing very different functions. I'd much rather read a book in a proportional font, but beyond that I don't have as strong an opinion about any proportional font as I do about 10x20 in monospace fonts. - 1:47 PM

It's my favorite monospace font. I don't have really strong feelings on proportional fonts.

Isn't that also Monaco 9 (from Macs)? It's been my default font for many aeons... ;)
- Spiral of Hope said...
I too have been a long-time fan of 9x15. It's compact and readable.
I'm switching back to a font I found from DOSEmu - vga.pcf
It's as close to the actual terminal as I've seen any font come. Doesn't look good with bold fonts though, so those need to be disabled through the terminal, or just edit LS_COLORS. - 4:14 AM

Goblet of Fire
this wiki
- "The Goblet of Fire! Anyone wishing to submit themselves to the tournament need only write their name upon a piece of parchment and throw it in the flame before this hour on Thursday night. Do not do so lightly! If chosen, there's no turning back. As from this moment, The Triwizard Tournament has begun."
- —Albus Dumbledore[src]
The Goblet of Fire is the "impartial judge" for the Triwizard Tournament who chooses which students will represent their respective schools. After the students have finished placing their name in Goblet, the Goblet then chooses one student from each school by spitting out their name in a rush of red flames. Once chosen, the participants are subject to a binding magical contract in which they can not back out of the tournament.[1]
The Goblet is described as being made of heavy hewn wood and — when active — has blue-white flames up to the edges. When it wasn't in use, it was kept in a jewelled casket.
Though it was an impartial judge, it can be bewitched to make decisions that transgress the rules. Since the goblet is a powerful magical artefact, it would require a powerful Confundus Charm to accomplish. After the champions are selected, it will extinguish itself and will not reignite until the next tournament.
The Goblet of Fire was created at an unknown time and by an unknown person. As many who knew about the Triwizard Tournament were unaware of its use in the competition in 1994, it was presumably not used until that year.
The 1994 Triwizard Tournament
- "If your name is chosen, there is no turning back. As from this moment... the Triwizard Tournament has begun."
- —Albus Dumbledore[src]
Albus Dumbledore drew an Age Line around the Goblet during the 1994 Tournament to prevent students under the age of seventeen from entering their name. However, the Goblet was fooled into thinking there were more than three schools competing by a powerful Confundus Charm cast on it by Barty Crouch Jr, disguised as Alastor Moody. This resulted in the selection of a fourth Champion, Harry Potter, into the Tournament alongside Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum. The flames of the Goblet went out and would not ignite again until the next tournament, much to Igor Karkaroff's frustration, who wanted to reselect champions until each school had two representatives to even things out. It was later revealed that Crouch was working for Lord Voldemort as part of a plan to use Harry's blood to revive the Dark Lord.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) -- A lawsuit alleges a pediatrician sexually abused a man while he was a patient at Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire.
Attorneys for the former Eau Claire man filed the lawsuit Wednesday. It alleges that Dr. David Van de Loo sexually abused the man while he was a patient at the clinic from 2004 to 2011.
The man is now 21 and living in Minnesota. He is identified as John Doe 24 to protect his identity.
Van de Loo was charged in October with sexually assaulting a 16-year-old male patient. The clinic terminated Van de Loo on September 12th.
Mayo Clinic Health System says it has not had a chance to review the lawsuit.
Van de Loo says he has not heard of the lawsuit and had no comment.

But it doesn't take a massive, expensive camera like the RED Epic to shoot 4K resolution video. In fact, Point Grey's Flea3 webcam—equipped with a Sony Exmor R sensor—is up to the task but is hardly bigger than an inch in any direction. Advertisement The technical feat here is that the camera is able to push video to any compatible, USB 3.0-equipped device in real-time—something that requires a fair amount of bandwidth. Obviously, resolution isn't everything, and you probably won't be shooting cinematic masterpieces with this diminutive beast, but if you need a little extra size and clarity from your image, this might do the trick. Though at $945, the only interested parties might be businesses with video conferencing and surveillance needs. [Point Grey via Engadget]Reply33 repliesLeave a reply

Rated 1 out of 5 by JennNCA from Quality??? I bought this set of beer mugs because I loved the shape of them. When I received the first set each glass had a line going down the side and also a line down the handle. I thought I just got a defective set. Glasses shouldn't show lines bonding them together. I called WS for a replacement and they were happy to send me a new set. The replacement came and same issue. Ended up returning these.Bummed out because I really wanted a set of these unique beer mugs. Normally I love everything WS but can't recommend due to appearance.Date published: 2015-12-18Rated 5 out of 5 by Summertimecouple from Great design. Beautiful, durable beer glasses. A cold Belgian White looks very nice. Nice and cold when taken out of the freezer. Great look.Date published: 2014-08-18

Lagos - A lawyer for one of the men accused of planning a 2010 dual car bombing in Nigeria's capital says his client has died while awaiting trial.
Festus Keyamo said on Saturday in a statement that Tiemkenfa Francis Osvo, known as General Gbokos, died in a federal prison near Nigeria's capital, Abuja. Keyamo says Osvo's death came after repeated requests for medical care went unanswered.
Keyamo also said three other suspects also suffer from health problems after their cells were fumigated in January.
Federal prison spokesperson Kayode Odeyemi did not respond to a request for comment on Sunday.
The Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta claimed responsibility for the car bombing on October 1 2010.
At least 12 people were killed and dozens wounded in the attack.

hello and thanks for the superior brain power!
portfolio site:
using SQL db, with fields: id(key), img_title, img_descrip, img_file, img_type, img_link
a portfolioimagedb entry (row) may or may not have multiple (extra) images; i want all (if there are any) returned. i've made my naming convention 1.jpg, 1-1.jpg, 1-2.jpg and so on, for extra images - the 1.jpg being the img_file value, matching it's id, for callback purposes. this function is to check if there are extra files, based on this convention, and to increment until the condition is met, and output any extra images found:
<?php $i = 1;
$file = "images/".$_GET['id']."-".$i".jpg";
while (file_exists($file)) {
echo ;
$file = "images/".$_GET['id']."-".$i".jpg";
with this, i'm getting a "parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING" ; it has to be a syntax/escape character/tiny detail thing...my novice eyes are bleeding trying to understand where i'm off.
i also, in not knowing if that was logical or would have any chance of working, went another direction. i added 2 more columns in my database, img_alt1 and img_alt2. then, just like my view project link(in which an if is used to check the column img_link and return accordingly, i used an if statement to detect the presence of anything in these columns, and to take action if something's found. this one seems messier to me, but also seems more likely to work, given my inexperience:
<?php if ($row_data['img_link'] != "" && $row_data['img_link'] != NULL) { ?>

<a href="<?php echo $row_data['img_link']; ?>">view project
<?php } ?>
<img src="images/<?php echo $row_data['id']; ?>.jpg">

<?php if ($row_data['img_alt1'] != "" && $row_data['img_alt1'] != NULL) { ?>
<img src="<?php echo $row_data['img_alt1']; ?>">

<?php if ($row_data['img_alt2'] != "" && $row_data['img_alt2'] != NULL) { ?>
<img src="<?php echo $row_data['img_alt1']; ?>">
but this returns a "parse error, unexpected $" , pointing to the last line of code, after the
everything was going smoothly in this, my inaugural database venture (as you can tell by the small number of entries, it's exploratory), until this particular tweak. any help or immediate obvious syntax relief is warmly welcomed. thanks!

No, yesterday wasn't a National holiday, nor we're we on vacation or otherwise indisposed, we are hard a work formulating the revised national rankings and our very own regional rankings. Because it is an iterative process, the revised national rankings will be the last to be posted. However, unlike the making of sausage, you are allowed to watch. We have already completed the Region One (Northeast) and Region Two (Southeast) rankings and they are posted on the left side bar beneath the traditional national rankings. If your dog is listed on the rankings and you would like to substitute a photo you prefer, please send me an electronic copy at firstname.lastname@example.com. Check back with us frequently, we will be posting all the seven regions today.

(HealthDay) -- The incidence of rosacea in the United Kingdom is 1.65 per 1,000 person-years, with alcohol consumption linked to a modest increase in risk and current smoking linked to an decreased risk, according to a study published online May 5 in the British Journal of Dermatology.
To quantify the incidence rates and describe the demographic characteristics of rosacea, Julia Spoendlin, from the University of Basel in Switzerland, and colleagues used the U.K.-based General Practice Research Database to identify 60,042 patients with a new diagnosis of rosacea between 1995 and 2009 and matched them to 60,042 rosacea-free control patients.
The researchers found that, in the United Kingdom, the overall incidence rate for rosacea was 1.65 per 1,000 person-years. In 80 percent of cases, diagnosis occurred after the age of 30 years. In 20.8 percent of cases, ocular symptoms were noted at the index date. Current smokers had a significantly reduced relative risk of developing rosacea (odds ratio, 0.64), while there was a marginally increased risk seen for alcohol consumption.
"This large observational study describes the epidemiology of rosacea in a large sample of the U.K. population and quantifies the presence of ocular involvement in this skin disease," the authors write. "Our findings suggest that smoking may substantially reduce the risk of developing rosacea, whereas alcohol consumption is associated with only a small increase in risk."
One author disclosed financial ties to Galderma, which funded the study.

It was predictable that Richard Worth should respond like a lawyer to the scandal this week that has almost certainly cost him his political career.
Worth, who was a partner in a major law firm by the age of 24, issued a statement through a public relations firm which cautioned the public against "a rush to judgment on the basis of rumour and speculation".
"There is a well-known principle in New Zealand that a person is presumed innocent until they have been proved guilty," he said, managing to sound pompous and defensive at the same time. "At the moment, I have not even been charged with any criminal offence, let alone had the opportunity to defend myself."
Defending himself is what Worth has vowed to do, and "vigorously" against any charges that might result from the criminal investigation now under way. But the readiness with which he invokes his legal right to the presumption of innocence simply shows how out of touch he is with the seriousness of his predicament.
Prime Minister John Key did not wait for the outcome of any investigation or subsequent proceedings before saying "His conduct does not befit a minister and I will not have him in my Cabinet" and (this latter three times within a few minutes) "If he had not resigned, I would have sacked him".
It is probably telling that, when asked on radio what he would do if criminal charges were laid, Key said that he could not sack Worth twice. It plainly implied that he did sack the minister and allowed the public announcement of a resignation as a face-saving gesture. If so, it is plainly the only slack the PM is cutting him. Helen Clark left a back door ajar or or at least unlocked for errant ministers to return; Key makes it plain that it will be a very cold day in hell before Richard Worth holds a ministerial warrant in one of his Cabinets.
Key's management of the matter has not been beyond reproach. He was decisive and unambiguous on Wednesday, but only after police had forced his hand by announcing that they were investigating "an MP". Extraordinarily, when approached by Labour leader Phil Goff about one of the two complainants, he did not ask to see the evidence that Goff had.
It is worth wondering, too, why Key awarded important portfolios, including Internal Affairs, to a man of questionable acumen. Worth took a dive in Epsom to help Rodney Hide's election - and the Act Party's survival - in November. The PM might like to comment on what, if any, connection there is.
As to Worth himself, it may be beyond his capability to feel any shame. A man who exudes a sense of entitlement disproportionate to his status, he seems incapable of showing remorse about actions that plainly warrant remorse. After a private trip to India in which he spoke in his capacity as a minister while promoting an aviation company in which he had an interest, he was carpeted by his boss but would only allow, with a pained smile, that there had been a "perception" of a conflict of interest.
Well, the crystal-clear perception in that case was everybody's but his - and this case is beginning to look remarkably similar. Rather than hide behind the niceties of legal procedure, Worth might like to act like a man: tell the public what he said and wrote, and when and to whom. And then he could explain why he considers it acceptable behaviour for an MP, never mind a minister.

Nov. 30, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3114 posts | "The world's an immoral pit of cheating, distress and turmoil and nothing can save it. It's disgusting and out of hand. Only we, the truly enlightened and righteous can lead the ignorant masses to safety and prosperity if you just surrender your folly and follow us." Sound familiar? Sounds a lot like Nazi thinking to me and as I remember from those riveting documentaries and some reading on the subject there were costumes and badges everywhere. True identities didn't matter and were discarded like old cardboard. There was no sense of the inherent positivity, goodness and worth of people just engaged in a struggle for their own identity looking for inclusive albeit difficult solutions to life's frustrations and demands. They played on the turmoil, FEAR and conflicts of the time to advance their own agenda and self interest at the sacrifice of integrity and truth. Disingenuous propaganda was the order of their day. And they never broke one law or rule. Yet, they took advantage of the society while the public was distracted, unfocused and sleeping. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Lively bats and balls, forever. |
Nov. 30, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | cliff notes please,the VI is posting again..... |
Nov. 30, 2010 Marv19 Men's 60 480 posts | Gary C It just didn't happen over night. I posted this a few months back that Oxnard as well as others are dropping carbon fiber bats. The main reason or cause is the cheating that goes on by juicing the bats. The biggest bat shaver is in phoenix and he drives a new Corvette. That should tell you about the size of the cheating. It even filters down to Little League. Unless it stops all Carbon Fiber bats will be in jepardy. There is a fix and it will be out on spring. We will try to keep you posted but its a patented item that will prohibit cheating for good. |
Nov. 30, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3114 posts | Hope springs eternal. Good Marv. Let's hope the light at the end of the tunnel isn't another train. We need to play with lively bats and balls, period. The whole argument turns on what's really going on and what IS really going on from my research, experience and understanding is that players are fundamentally fair-minded because any contest this isn't fair brings no true glory, accomplishment or satisfaction and is therefore, self defeating and self limiting. Guys have "learned" to get and use hotter bats to insure they have a good time and to make sure they don't get punked when/if the "other" guys pull out hotter bats. It's the same fundamental mentality about going after a pitcher only when they go after yours. By busting guys who do shave and end load bats and making sure that the bat ball combo is good to begin with cheating will be rendered meaningfully non-existent. That's so good and true it's gotta be repeated. By busting guys who do shave and end load bats and making sure that the bat ball combo is good to begin with cheating will be meaningfully non-existent. This whole movement to dumb-down the bat ball combo is situational, opportunistic, self interested and NEGATIVE as it assumes we/players are fundamentally dishonest which we ARE not and/or that we/our community is incapable of developing a positive and winning resolution for any issues we might have. It's a movement that in terms of who we are AND our game is negative to/for both. So, the movement to dumb-down the bat/ball combo is negative for softball and the players, by assumption and opportunistic and self interested at best and not from/of the heart and soul of the game we love to play. |
Nov. 30, 2010 birdie Men's 65 709 posts | To All, I do know that all the leagues here in No Virginia have been using ASA approved bats for years. The freak (Green)bat was disallowed whenever the ASA put it on the ban list. That is just the way it is here. I was visiting a friend in Indianapolis and was surprise to see that their league using non approved ASA bats. I have been under the impression that all leagues used ASA approved equipment. I guess that I was wrong. I think that is why I enjoy the bats and ball combination in senior tournaments. I play with nothing but ASA equipment in the leagues and get my quota there. Thanks Harry |
Nov. 30, 2010 curveball Men's 65 548 posts | Capt Kirk, we used long bases in LV for sure; and, we have used longer bases in LV for quite a few tourneys. Palm Springs Senior League still uses SSUSA bat rules. |
Nov. 30, 2010 DoubleL10 Men's 65 879 posts | I played in the Harris County Senior Softball League through 2008 and we used Ultra IIs, etc. in that League. I have several friends who still play in the league which, by the way, is now SSUSA, and they still use all senior bats. The senior league I play in now in Oklahoma City is a USSSA league and we swing those bats up here. |
Nov. 30, 2010 DoubleL10 Men's 65 879 posts | As information, the Harris County Senior Softball League is in Houston. |
Nov. 30, 2010 gary c 411 posts | Joey don't get you panties in a bunch. I just asked if anyone had heard the same as me. You should watch how you throw around the word NAZI. When you throw the word around so loosley you take away the evil in the word . As an educator I think you would know better. |
Nov. 30, 2010 Dbax Men's 60 1619 posts | Capt. Kirk, we did play on 70' bases in Vegas. In my opinion it vastly improved the game. Double plays were turned, defense was improved all around. |
Dec. 1, 2010 #6 Men's 60 1175 posts | Guys, If you want, go to:capitalcitysoftball.com, go to where you can find the non approved bats, this will show you the list we have to play with and use here in Austin. |
Dec. 1, 2010 Webbie25 Men's 60 2190 posts | Capt Kirk-Yes on the 70' bases and 53' mound. It was great-brought the infield back into it a little more, and fewer 'gimmee' doubles. It is on the agenda at Tucson and I am solidly for it. |
Dec. 1, 2010 Webbie25 Men's 60 2190 posts | If they are banning all 'composites'-that takes out a lot of bats-pretty much what I have been saying-that we need to go back to the EST or Techfires or the like and bring the good ball back, the 47/525. We had a good and lively game at that level, but playable defensively. |
Dec. 1, 2010 madsenior 54 posts | The ICAP will be out in the spring and will end the shaving issue and concerns. It will also allow composites to return. I have heard many Parks and Rec's are going to make bats have an Icap. |
Dec. 1, 2010 JBTexas Men's 65 349 posts | CaptKirk, playing infield 70 ft bases were great, as a runner I didn't like it takes a lot doubles and triples out of the game. To me it looks like it cause a lot more ball up the middle(at the pitcher) then before. we has a team got a couple pitchers upset with those type hits. 70ft bases may not have been the cause, I lean more to the windy conditions and not wanting get behind in the count and have to swing at a ??? ball. |
Dec. 1, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | MS,i have heard of this and it is a good idea,but the prol will be a lot of players(all ages) will drop b/c they'll have to buy new bats,i know i'll have to get new ones as all mine are the older variety,pre 2008.instead of buying new i can see more dropping the sport than to have to spend more money for new tamper proof bats.most likely won't effect the senior group,as we don't cheat(shaveing ,rolling or end-loading our bats),LOL...yeah right... as far as stopping the cheaters,well they'll find a way around it,thats why they are cheaters...... also hear that by 2012 we will need to have new bats for most of the assoc's.that will prolly be my last year(2011) of playing if i'm required to buy new equipment for 2012. |
Dec. 1, 2010 DCPete 319 posts | Metal bats with the old 47/525 Dudley Red Thunder probably would be a good bat/ball combo for senior softball, but our litigious society will never, ever allow us to use a harder ball than the current 375 & 275 compressions even if you're using a broomstick to hit with. And banning composites with the current balls would cause interest & participation to crater far below that of even current ASA tournaments. However, the status quo could be improved by A) going to the 15' or unlimited arc B) going to the 1 - 1 count & C) raising the 300' fences to 25' or higher. |
Dec. 1, 2010 Marv19 Men's 60 480 posts | The new anti tamper proof device is a retro fit product. Should be around $25. Its patented and will be out in spring. After it's out it will take some lobbying to the various organisations and cities. But it will revolutionize the game. Its main goal is to get carbon fiber bats back on track at the NCAA and second to eliminate the cheating that goes on. It will even detect a crack in your bat before you even know they're there. Contrary to popular myth all carbon fiber bats crack or break. It's just a matter of when. Most bats so called hot out of the wrapper are the most venerable due to the shorter curve. The longer break in bats last longer as the curve is longer. Presently the GBA has a 300 hit break in so you read into this what you will :O) |
Dec. 1, 2010 Wes Men's 65 327 posts | My goal is to hit 1,000 by hitting the ball about 10 foot over the head of the second and third baseman---I can do that with a wood bat Wes |
Dec. 1, 2010 FOFO Men's 55 229 posts | I've seen more and more tournaments where bats are supplied by the director. This may be the answer. Probably mean higher tournamet prices but would eliminate cheating |
Dec. 2, 2010 gary c 411 posts | Just found out not only composite but double wall bats are going to be outlawed in Oxnard and most likely in surrounding cities as of January 1st. Injuries and afraid of lawsuits |

Dec. 2, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3114 posts | Gary C for Characterless, coward, clown. You're close to a lot of info like someone who has a huge interest and investment in the new bat/ball combo and has had a lot to do with the movement to dumb down our equipment. Now who could that be... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. |
Dec. 2, 2010 taits Men's 65 4538 posts | Fofo, There are many problems with that idea but it was mentioned long ago. Not only additional fee cost for the T's but transport cost and getting them to the different parks and fields with what ever bat weight is decided upon. Not to forget the lost in flight screw ups. There is another problem, not every one stings the same weight. Somehow I just can't imaging the problems with supplying bats for 24 fields and 48 dug outs. Left alone moving them around from being stored during off season. If cities change the bat standard, so be it at least we will be equal there having access to what ever it they are. Same for the ball. There is so much crap about nothing going on here. You are not going to change anything as long as you attend. All assn's are counting on that, and I'd bet you will attend. |
Dec. 2, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | how ya like that,a cheater trying to call someone out,go figure cheater joey... |
Dec. 2, 2010 Omar Khayyam 1174 posts | How about this for bats. Each team supplies its opponents the bats! Have to be a variety of weight and balanced as well as end loaded, but the team picks what bats it gives its opponents! Nahh, it will never work. Calls for good sportsmanship. |
Dec. 2, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | i like the tourney supplied ones,just put them in a rack at the backstop,both teams use the same bats.take a poll as to what most all use and the weights they like and get those. than add in 1 or 2 of the not so liked ones for the others that do.maybe a bat sponsor could supply the bats for the big tourney's.. |

Dec. 3, 2010 #6 Men's 60 1175 posts | If you can read, I said if they get caught, THEY pay the price for cheating. No I don't like cheaters !!! |

text: Now You Know It's Bad: Toyota May Miss U.S. Sales TargetsAndrew Stoy6/24/08 9:30amFiled to: Industry NewsChryslerGas CrisisI Feel GassyToyota Motor Companytoyota salesToyota Sales ForecastToyota Sales ForecastsToyota US SalesToyota US Sales ForecastsFordGas PricesGeneral MotorsToyota29EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The Super-Best Automaker from the Land of the Rising Sun is backing away from forecasts that show an annual increase in U.S. sales over last year. Despite massive demand for the smug-forming Prius, Toyota's plans for world domination are getting bogged down in the Tundra, since the same market forces decimating demand for domestic trucks are affecting the full-size Toyota offerings. The company now says it will likely be unable to improve upon the 2.62 million vehicles it sold in the U.S. during 2007. But, lest you think that the automotive world is going all topsy-turvy on you, the AP makes sure to point out that domestic automakers are faring much, much worse. Toyota was hoping to capitalize on strong demand in countries such as China and Russia to help it achieve global sales of 9.85 million units. But the company has been forced to slow its full-size truck and SUV assembly plants in Texas and Indiana to prevent unsold inventory from piling up, a problem domestic manufacturers are trying to avoid by aggressively cutting shifts and extending plant downtime.While Toyota's announcement is more bad news during an already bad quarter, the revised forecast has to be music to the ears of Motown executives accustomed to "Teflon Toyota;" the company has announced several recent recalls that appear have had little impact on its brand perception. However, some analysts speculate that Toyota's revised sales forecast may simply be a red herring, designed to lull Americans into thinking it's suffering alongside them during the current economic crisis when in reality the company is buying time to finish work on its plutonium breeder reactor.

How many of you have harvested a deer due to use of a snort-wheeze call?
I've seen it scare deer away on hunting shows, heard people say they had bucks "snort-wheezing" back at them... I've yet to see anyone say "I snort-wheezed and this buck came running".
I have spent a lot of time in the stand watching many different bucks from pre to post rut and I have never witnessed a buck making this noise. I'm not saying they don't but I have never heard it and I have witnessed bucks make some nasty noises...
I am not sold on this call at all.

Brett Bara has been sharing fun sewing projects with us at D*S for two years now, and she never ceases to amaze me with her enthusiasm and energy for crafting. So I was excited to hear that she's throwing a gigantic Brooklyn Craft Camp next month! This massive one-day crafting event is taking place in our D*S home turf — Greenpoint, Brooklyn — on Saturday, March 16, 2013. Brett has planned a jam-packed day of DIY fun, including classes with some of NYC's best craft authors, designers and bloggers (including Jay McCarroll from Project Runway!). You'll get to meet new crafty friends, learn new skills, eat delicious food, drink cocktails and basically enjoy a DIY party all day long. To celebrate the camp, Brett offered to give away one free ticket to a D*S reader! All you have to do is share your biggest crafting disaster (here's mine from yesterday) in the comment section below by the end of this week (Friday, February 15th at 10pm EST). Brett will choose her favorite, and the winner will get a full day of crafting (four classes, meals, etc.) for free! To kick things off, Brett is sharing her biggest crafting disaster. xo, grace
When I think of crafting disasters, I immediately flash back to 1985. It was a few weeks after Valentine's Day, and mysteriously, ants started appearing in my little pink bedroom. Just a few at first, then more and more every day. There were no ants anywhere else in the house, so it was clear SOMETHING was going on in my room. Finally my brave mom investigated, and to our horror she found the source of the problem under my bed. It was the Valentine's box I had made for my school party, meticulously crafted with dozens of candy hearts glued on the outside. Candy hearts that were apparently very, very delicious to ants. I loved that project so much that I wanted to save it forever, but unfortunately the ants liked it even more. Lesson learned: When crafting with candy, never store the finished project under your bed! — Brett
Leave your comment and check out details about Brooklyn Craft Camp (and pictures of the crafts you'll learn/make) after the jump . . .
Brooklyn Craft Camp will include four 90-minute craft classes (with all the materials and tools you'll need to complete your projects), a keynote chat by Jay McCarroll (winner of Project Runway, Season 1), a donut breakfast, a locally made lunch, a cocktail hour, a photobooth, DJs and the sparkling company of cool, crafty people! Choose from classes on knitting, crochet, terrariums, embroidery, jewelry, crepe paper flowers, papercutting and printmaking, and enjoy the DIY nail-art bar and quickie craft station.
My crafting disaster began with the idea to hand make our wedding invitations (we had a small group of 12). We were inviting just parents & siblings, so accounting for folks that still lived at home, etc., we only had to make 6 invitations. My husband has access to a laser cutter so we took the opportunity to design a stamp that we would use to emboss all of the details. Our idea was to have a heart with Jose Luis Posada's skeleton wedding couple embossed over the heart stamp, with the details below (we love skeletons and anatomy, what can we say?). We took to the laser cutter and spent an entire evening into the wee hours getting the burn just right, as the rubber we were using was repurposed from something else and was quite dense.
Excited, I woke up the next morning ready to do my stamping, only to discover that we had mistakenly printed the stamp the RIGHT way so we could read it, but BACKWARDS when stamped. With no more rubber and no more patience to deal with the laser cutter, we improvised as we so often do with craft projects! I went out and bought clear vellum, printed the stamp on the vellum, planning to flip it and place it over the card stock that had the heart stamped on it. We were then going to adhere it to the card stock with a clear adhesive to make a smooth card. When I took to embossing the plastic sheet, it bubbled & bulged, and at this point I was convinced we were never going to make use of this crazy stamp. Improvising yet again, I hand folded photo corners from leftover stock and took my best & brightest embossing attempts (took about 20 tries to get the 6 flatter ones I needed) and attached it to the heart background with the photo corners. What began as a quick & simple stamping project turned into a snowball of accounting for little mistakes along the way! Everyone was so impressed at how elaborate the invitations were with the two layers, a 3D effect, and paper photo corners, so we kept our craft disaster to ourselves :)
A friend of mine was finishing her degree in Art Education. Her final project was a fired ceramic piece. I gave good input, but don't have her skills. I went to the studio with her one day, monitoring her piece, and making an abstract flower wall hung plaque for me. I glazed it and when it was done, I didn't like it. I took it home and decided to cover it in one color. It looks so nice. However, I used Rub-n-Buff and it does not dry over the glaze. Fortunately. I had put two holes near the top for hanging. I used silver ribbon to hang it. I made a wall grouping with other pieces,and no one is the wiser. I live in fear that someone will touch it and get smeared with the RnB. P.S. She got an A, and lots of accolades, and I have a paint disaster waiting to happen!
My first job in the garment center was for a belt manufacturer. Each week I would glide in with something I made. I was the only person there that sewed, and everyone would ooh and ahh over whatever I made. Unfortunatley I got rather big headed about this! Especially because the ownder said that it "looked soooo professionally done".
We were going to have a party because the owner was retiring…I decided to outdo myself..alas it was the first time I ever tried pleats and since I always overbought fabric I said to myself this time I have to be more accurate & bought exactly what was specified. Got it home and began to sew when I got to the skirt part it dawns on me I was going to be short fabric…I hurredly nipped back for more fabric…SOLD OUT! What to do!! Playing around w/the layout for ages I finally cut the back a little off grain. I cut it out and sew it….well it looked okay to me, it didn't hang weirdly. Really I'm more concerned about what color belt, shoes and handbag I was going to wear. I put on the cutest little outfit I ever made the front looked smashing!! I take a few steps and the skirt creeps into my derriere cheeks….Now it's too late to change and I didnt' have anything to change into. That day will live in infamy for me. I would take few steps have to duck into a doorway and pull the dress from my backside…a perfectly awful day….I swear that day seemed like a week. Come to think of it I have never made a pleated garment again! -
Sounds fun!
I don't have a huge disaster story, but several kind friends have spent time trying to teach me to knit, but it doesn't stick! I do ok with supervision, but once I get home it leaves my brain… -
I must've blocked out my real disasters, but this one i remember and it still stings years later: I made a sweater for my boyfriend out of gorgeous yarn i bought in Tasmania. it was a perfect fit, and i thought it looked good on him, but he never wore it and finally admitted he would never wear it. i don't have the heart to frog it…maybe a son will wear it one day and be my valentine…this boyfriend eventually became my husband despite hating this perfect sweater, but I learned my lesson and he only gets knitted hats from me, once in a blue moon.
I've had a million crafting disasters – pretty much every time I pick up something new for the first time. I've set shrinky dinks ablaze. I've gotten VERY expensive organic yarn into a knot so bad that a lady literally "tsked" me. I've hot glued unused sticks of HOT GLUE to the floor.
I am a librarian for teens and I host crafts all the time. I like to teach them to reuse and recycle and look at old materials with new eyes! I had the brilliant idea, four or five years ago, to have everyone participating bring in an old dark colored tshirt. I set up tuperware bins with cold water, and I picked out a bunch of small flat items (coins, washers, odd erasers, etc.). We also had sugar, to be able to sort of "drip" your designs. I filled spray bottles with a bleach/water solution and I thought we would do an awesome relief thing on these tshirts, placing down the objects, spraying the bleach solution and they could watch it turn colors. Then, quick as a wink, they would submerge the tshirts into cold water, which would stop the bleaching, and everyone would have an awesome new tshirt! YAHOO!
Well, I underestimated the messiness of tweens/teens… bleach was everywhere (in the library! yowzas) Water was everywhere. tshirts were wet and everywhere. It took me a couple of hours to clean up, in my bare feet (because they had overturned a few of the tuperwares and soaked my shoes). Some of the teens loved their shirts, though, and wore them in to the library to show me…so I'd say it was worth it. -
This isn't my own story but that of my best friend's aunt; a story I was told in my teens and has stuck* with me ever since! My friend's aunt, let's call her Jean, was laying a new kitchen floor with lino tiles. Jean decided to use super glue to do this job… A tube of super glue which she happened to leave lying on the floor before subsequently kneeling on and squirting glue into her eye. Panicked, she grabbed a towel to wipe the glue off, which is definitely not recommended. Needless to say, after a trip to A&E and time spent without eyelashes, her story has haunted me (and improved my safety awareness) ever since!
*apologies for the punn… Couldn't resist!
I shellacked my tongue. I put the wrong end of the paint brush in my mouth.
I'm an avid knitter. Once, I was knitting a cowichan sweater for a friend and was working on the sleeve, paying NO attention (I think I was probably watching Castle, because, honestly, what *else* would I be watching?!?). I knit this BEAUTIFUL sleeve with lovely colour work patterning…I soon realized, after about 3 hours, that I had forgotten to cast off and decrease for the underarm! I had to undo THREE HOURS of (not-s0) careful knitting and start again. I was heartbroken. But, these things happen!
Wow – it's so good to see that everyone else has such epic crafting fails as well! I'm a big knitter and because I'm not that patient, I decided to splurge and buy a knitting machine to help me knit faster. I tried to master changing colors, but each time I would introduce a new color, inevitability my stitches would fall off and crash to the floor. This happened for about 3 months until I finally got the hang of it. I decided to make a tank top with wording on the front and after hours of counting and making sure the different colored stitches were just right, I bound off my work and looked at my creation. All of the wording was upside down.
A couple of years I decided to dress up as Wonder Woman for a big annual Halloween party that my friends host. I have always admired WW but had never seen a costume out there that was exactly what I wanted or felt confident enough to pull off a body conscious outfit but recalling that the best costumes I had growing up were the ones I would brainstorm and sew with my very talented grandmother (err or rather watch her mostly sew for me) I decided I would go for it and make my own! I didn't own a sewing machine and thought sewing all of the pieces from fabric would be too much for me but I spent several weeks finding basic articles of clothing (red tube top; blue shorts; blue leggings; gold bra; red socks) and random supplies (gold lamé belt; iron on stars; star buttons; duct tape) that I could put together with some basic sewing to make my dream costume. By Halloween I had the whole outfit put together and felt proud that I had thought of lots of details down to my blue nail polish as I tend to be more last minute and rushed with things….
The night of the party I got dressed up and felt great! Just before leaving I noticed that some of the stars on my backside were sticking up a bit so I thought hey I'll just do a quick touch up with the iron… The instant I set the hot iron down on the polyester poof! I had burned a big hole right where my left butt cheek would be. Oops I guess I forgot to check the iron setting — they are really serious about those! I had never seen that happen before!
My husband got nervous about what my reaction would be but I had a WWWWD moment and just put the shorts back on (once cooled) over my blue leggings and headed out to the party hoping it would blend. My the end of the night I had gotten lots of compliments and had totally forgotten that my booty was hanging out of my short shorts. Actually, even with the scorched bottoms, I enjoyed making everything so much that I wasn't deterred and made awesome costumes for myself and my husband too again this year — just nothing involving ironing polyester!
When I was about 9, I went through a cake decorating phase. My mom had this huge collection of different hued food coloring. This was not your standard red, blue, yellow, green assortment. There was fuschia, turquoise, even cyan. The colors were all so attractive, I couldn't help but experiment with mixing them. One day I got so carried away with mixing that I suddenly realized with horror that my beautiful rainbow cake looks more like mud than the My Little Pony landscape I was shooting for. Unwilling to accept defeat, I decided to own my mistake and make the cake black. That's right, I added every single color from the collection of about 20. The frosting looked like rich humus and made the cake the most depressing I have ever laid eyes on. My dad and oldest brother, always my cheerleaders, generously each ate a piece of my dismal cake after dinner. They were kind and praised it's sweetness and, ehem, uniqueness. As they smiled in appreciation, the rest of us discovered the true horror of my failure, the heavy mixture of dyes had turned their teeth a deep shade of red!
The craft camp looks amazing! And the chance to meet a project runway winner is awesome!
I have been crafting since I was a child. I love it. Crafting is not only a creative outlet, but a stress reliever as well. I hope all who attend the camp have a great time! -
While not quite a crafting disaster but it does deal with crafting. I have recently moved and had a small craft room at my old house. I now have doubled my space and can't believe how much items I has stuffed into that old room. It is now 7 months since I moved and I am still trying to sort my stash so I can really start working. I think crafting is a disease but I love it!
I love reading all of these! Katy's lobster reminded me of a finger puppet Valentine I almost sent out to one of my nieces last year in my annual love packages to all the kids in my life. I made different animals with paper hearts from a kit but luckily my husband noticed something about this giraffe that I didn't and stopped me from mailing it out — but I still think the critter is cute so he got it instead! http://instagram.com/p/Vz3WAPB-o7/
While painting a piece of furniture (with oil based paint) our cat escaped and got paint all over her little feet! Not wanting to use turpentine on her, I used eucalyptus oil to wipe it off her – but then read online that my "natural" alternative was actually quite poisonous to cats! My boyfriend then had to hold her down while I shampooed her paws until there was no more eucalyptus smell left… to this day she is nervous around running water (and now we only use water based paint!)
Probably my worst crafting disaster happened when I was six years old. My mother, an avid crafter, was teaching me how to sew. It was December, and we were making Christmas potholders for my first grade teacher. She was guiding my hands but she must have let go and… the machine sewed through my finger! It was my one and only trip to the ER, sewing needle all the way through my finger, green thread still attached. To this day, I am still deathly afraid of sewing machines.
When I was about ten, my cousin Lia came to visit me from Brooklyn. She always had amazing new toys and things to do when I went to her house, and so I wanted something really fun for us to do when she came to ours. I had just learned from a friend that Elmer's glue was made from milk and flour, which Lia hadn't known, so we decided to make some of our own together. We had the materials we needed and added glitter to the mixture to make glitter glue – a huge bowl full of the stuff! Somehow we got it in our heads that we had to share this amazing concoction with the rest of the world or else it would go to waste. We made signs and set up a table in front of the house, attempting to sell glitter glue in little paper cups on the side of the road like a lemonade stand. GLITTER GLUE! ONLY $1! Which eventually dwindled down to 25 cents, 10 cents, to giving it away for free. We even tried to add incentives like petting our black & white lab mix or being pulled around the yard on a wagon with each cup of glitter glue purchased. We had more hand-made signs littering our front lawn than we had cups of glitter glue, but no one took the bait. Only one man stopped, thinking we were a drink stand and wanting something for his thirst on a hot summer day. He was REALLY confused, our parents laughing hysterically in the background (they had been soooo supportive, so we didn't think this was a strange thing to do AT ALL). Poor guy probably thought it was some kind of cruel joke. He ended up giving us a dollar anyway – without taking the glue with him. We called after him as he drove away – "hey, mister! You forgot your glitter glue!" I wonder if he ever stopped at a lemonade stand again.
When will the winner be announced?
Thanks Grace!
Did I miss the announcement? Oh we'll guess I didn't win but would love to know who did!
Hey, I'd love to know, too! Was fun to read about everyone's mishaps.

My office had an associate meeting this morning. One of the main partners in the office (but not managing partner) led the discussion. Basically we were told the following:
-No Spring Bonuses this year, which has been paid every year for the past 10 years
-The IP group hasn't really brought in any new business. The group is slow.
-General lit is busy, but mostly with FHFA and financial lit cases. Firm is positioning itself right now for when those cases wrap up, which they think will happen in the next 6 months to a year. They want to handle it better than they did the smartphone wars.
-The firm did stealth associates this Spring. BUT, we made the cut so we have nothing to worry about (yeah right!)
-We may have some partner defections in the coming months, but not to worry as they are not business generators

We stopped off at the town of Saverne for an afternoon coffee.
We reached Strasbourg at around 5pm and headed for our hotel for the night. We were located opposite the main train station. Because the hotel didn't have any parking and were not ...
Europa Park = Coasters & Screaming!
... 8217;re soo close to the carts.
From that ride we followed Michael, Kara, Vasilisa, Chelsy, Kelly and Jessica to the huge wooden coaster, Wodan! Everyone went on this one and the ride went 100km/h (62m/h) 40 m up. The first hill was soo much fun and the drop was even better! I think this one is my new favorite wooden roller coaster! Afterwards, we made our way to Blue Fire, the blue coaster that went upside down! At that ...
... spoke English! We sat there for a while and it was funny when this French guy tried hitting on Denisse. Afterwards we went back to the hotel and Memo went to bar and we hung out in the girls' room because we were going out at 12.
After getting ready we went down to the lobby and met the Korean girls and took pictures and went out with them to find the club. When we got to the club Julien said ...

We saw bus loads of people arriving to soak in the thermal pools and be fussed over. There were more high end shops in the city centre but we opted for the more middle of the road ones another block away!
Since it was our last day on the road, Eric was ...

From mideval Strasbourg, we went all the way to the various different European Community buildings - very modern and really not as quaint. Overall the tour was great and I am glad I went. I took the tram back to the hotel and met up with Brian who had just gotten up from his nap.
The next day, we rented bikes and I took Brian along the canals and told him some of the things ...

The Court's decision, expected by the end of the Court's term this spring, could have broad implications for fair lending litigation and enforcement affecting all types of consumer finance products.
The Court granted a petition to review the Eighth Circuit's decision reversing summary judgment in the defendants' favor in Gallagher v. Magner, 619 F.3d 823 (8th Cir. 2010), which involved a challenge by owners of rental properties, under various theories of liability, to the City of St. Paul's alleged "practice" of "aggressively enforcing" its Housing Code. (Click here for copy of the opinion.) The district court granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment but the Eighth Circuit reversed with respect to the plaintiffs' "disparate impact" claim under the FHA, 42 U.S.C. § 3604(a)-(b). In so holding, the Eighth Circuit applied a three-part "burden-shifting" approach requiring, first, a prima facie case of disparate impact on protected classes; second, a showing by the defendant that the challenged policy or practice has a "manifest relationship" to a legitimate, non-discriminatory policy objective; and finally a showing by the plaintiffs that there exists "a viable alternative means" to meet the legitimate objective without discriminatory effects. 619 F.3d at 833-34.

Up in the mountains of Tahoe in the dead of winter, a new Tycho album came into being. With the help of Zac Brown on guitar and bass, and Rory O'Connor on drums, Tycho took his artistry to new levels as his sound was discovered. What originally was a solo project, now boasts the fortitude of a three-piece-band, and with it comes this new post-rock dreamwave sound that marks the evolution of Tycho into the present. He exclaims that this, in many ways, is the first "true" Tycho record, as he moves away from the sounds that influenced him, and more into his own. If "Montana" is more of the vibe you're trying to catch, pre-order his new album "Awake" and wait in good company with the self titled single on the album as March 18th draws closer.

Two couples traveling together in the same car are forced to take refuge at the country manor of a hermit-like old man when their car breaks down. In a star turn, Michel Piccoli plays the old man, who skillfully manipulates these virtually spineless people, destroying relationships between them and forging new ones on a whim. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Is Decor For You Personally?
With regards to what you want to do with the rest of your life when it comes to your job there are a lot of alternatives to choose from. The options that you make will impact your happiness so you have to be certain you select something that really interests you and will keep you happy for a good number of years. You don't want to end up stuck in a job that doesn't satisfy you.
One choice that is quite a well-liked one is interior design. There are a few things that you need to keep in mind if you are planning on going into this field though. This is a closer look at what an interior designer needs to be able to do. For more information on decorators go to http://www.hanlie-claasen-interiors.co.za.
The first thing which you'll need as an interior decorator will be the ability to talk to as well as manage the expectations of people. You need to have the ability to understand what they would like to achieve with the redecorating of their house and you need to enable them to understand any limitations that may be placed on them because of their spending budget. You also want to be able to help them make smart choices that will result in a happy client.
You have to have a creative inclination and an eye for color as well as form if you are going to be doing interior design. You will need to be able to match the colours that the customers want to use and also to create the effects that they are searching for. This is not something which every person will be able to do.
You also have to be able to manage people and your time correctly. You will likely have to deal with suppliers and need so that you can keep your ducks in a row so that you finish your jobs in time and keep to the budget that you are given without cutting into your profit.
Then there is the actual sales facet of interior design. You need to be in a position to market your skills or you will not be able to get any jobs. You could hire someone to manage your sales for you however this is going to cost you money and when you're getting started you might not have the finances available.
There is lots that you have to take into consideration when you are selecting a career. A job in interior design is not going to be all smooth sailing. You are likely to be self employed for the most part and this can cause lots of tension that you may be unable to manage. It is important to take a critical look at any career path that you are thinking about taking. The more you know about the different options the better off you will be as you will be able to make an educated decision. Too many individuals find themselves in careers they don't actually enjoy and therefore are unsatisfied as a result. Ensure that you aren't one of them.
