Radioactive decay
The English used in this article or section may not be easy for everybody to understand. (August 2010) |
Most chemical elements are stable: If they are not part of a chemical reaction, they do not change. Chemical elements are made of atoms. In stable elements, the atom stays the same. In a chemical reaction, the atoms will form chemical bonds, with other atoms. Even if the bonds change during a reaction, the atoms themselves do not.
In the 19th century, Henri Becquerel discovered that some chemical elements have atoms that change: During their change they send out a particle. In 1898, Marie and Pierre Curie called this phenomenon radioactive decay.[1] Becquerel and the Curies were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery, in 1903.
Example[change | change source]
Most carbon atoms have six protons and six neutrons in their nucleus. This carbon is called carbon-12, because 12 is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in the carbon-12 nucleus (six protons + six neutrons = 12). Its atomic weight is 12. If a carbon atom has two more neutrons it is carbon-14. Carbon-14 acts chemically like other carbon, because the six protons and six electrons are what govern its chemical properties. In fact, carbon-14 exists in all living things; all plants and animals contain carbon-14. However, carbon-14 is radioactive. It decays by beta decay. It can be detected and measured. Carbon-14, in the small amounts found about us in nature, is harmless. In archeology, this kind of carbon is used to determine the age of wood and other formerly living things. The method is called Radiocarbon dating which is one kind of radiometric dating.
Different kinds of decay[change | change source]
Ernest Rutherford found that there different ways in which these particles penetrate matter. He found two different kinds, which he called alpha decay and beta decay.[2] Paul Villard discovered a third kind in 1900. Rutherford called it gamma decay, in 1903.[3]
Other kinds of decay were discovered later. The types of decay are different from each other because different types of decay produce different kinds of particles. The starting radioactive nucleus is called the parent nucleus and the nucleus that it changes into is called the daughter nucleus. The high-energy particles produced by radioactive materials are called radiation.
These various kinds of decay can happen sequentially in a "decay chain". One kind of nucleus decays to another kind, which decays again to another and so on until it becomes a stable isotope and the chain comes to an end.
Speed of decay[change | change source]
The speed at which this change happens, is different for each element. Radioactive decay is governed by chance: The time it takes, on average for half the atoms of a substance to change is named the half-life. The rate is given by an exponential function. As an example, iodine (131I) has a half-life of about 8 days. That of plutonium ranges between 4 hours (243Pu) and 80 million years[4] (244Pu)
The rate of decay is calculated using equations. An equation has a nuclide on the left, a right-pointing arrow, and the reaction products of the decay on the right. The equation must be balanced to follow the conservation laws of quantum mechanics for nuclear reactions. Certain things are not changed by decay. Thses are called conserved entities. The conserved entities are total energy (including mass), number of nucleons, linear and angular momentum, and lepton number. The particles or nuclei in the equation are written with a superscript to show mass number 'A' and a subscript to denote atomic number 'Z.'
Nuclear transformations and energy[change | change source]
Radioactive decay changes an atom from one that has higher energy inside its nucleus into one with lower energy. The change of energy of the nucleus is given to the particles that are created. The energy released by radioactive decay may either be carried away by a gamma ray electromagnetic radiation (a type of light), a beta particle or an alpha particle. In all those cases, the change of energy of the nucleus is carried away. And in all those cases, the total number of positive and negative charges of the atom's protons and electrons sum to zero before and after the change.
Alpha decay[change | change source]
During alpha decay, the atomic nucleus releases an alpha particle. Alpha decay causes the nucleus to lose two protons and two neutrons. Alpha decay causes the atom to change into another element, because the atom loses two protons (and two electrons). For example, if Americium were to go through alpha decay it would change into Neptunium because Neptunium is defined by having two protons fewer than Americium. Alpha decay usually happens in the most heavy elements, such as uranium, thorium, plutonium, and radium.
Alpha particles cannot even go through a few centimeters of air. Alpha radiation cannot hurt humans when the alpha radiation source is outside the human body, because human skin does not let the alpha particles go through. Alpha radiation can be very harmful if the source is inside the body, such as when people breathe dust or gas containing materials which decay by emitting alpha particles (radiation).
Beta decay[change | change source]
There are two kinds of beta decay, beta-plus and beta-minus.
In beta-minus decay, the nucleus gives out a negatively charged electron and a neutron changes into a proton:
- .
- where
- is the neutron
- is the proton
- is the electron
- is the anti-neutrino
Beta-minus decay happens in nuclear reactors.
In beta-plus decay, the nucleus releases a positron, which is like an electron but it is positively charged, and a proton changes into a neutron:
Beta-plus decay happens inside the sun and in some types of particle accelerators.
Gamma decay[change | change source]
Gamma decay happens when a nucleus produces a high-energy packet of energy called a gamma ray. Gamma rays do not have electrical charge, but they do have angular momentum. Gamma rays are usually emitted from nuclei just after other types of decay. Gamma rays can be used to see through material, to kill bacteria in food, to find some types of disease, and to treat some kinds of cancer. Gamma rays have the highest energy of any electromagnetic wave, and gamma ray bursts from space are the most energetic releases of energy known, even more energetic than supernovas.

I like the new update a lot I hate the old GT which is why I am just recently active, as soon as I saw update I was like Yes
Yeah they were due for a face lift for sure. Maybe now they will have some better spamblockware setup too. The reCaptcha is a good start.
That Captcha thing can easily be bypassed by a bot, it would require a human to either Enter it once and Check log me on Auto each time, and then they are good...
Make sure when you do use it though add the spammer to the database too. We have been using that site for Gimp Chats spammers for a great while now and have added many emails and ips to the mix.It helps everyone when you add them.
It's their shared server.They need to get a dedicated one. I have downloaded 10+ gigs of tutorials in case they go down for good. There is just way too much interference with data streaming due to many sites being hosted on the one server most likely. :\

Legendary hip-hop outfit, A Tribe Called Quest (Q-Tip, Phife, Ali Shaheed Muhammed and Jarobi), is gearing up a 25th anniversary celebration of their landmark album, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm with an brand spankin' new, mastered reissuing of the album. In addition, the reissue is looking to deliver with bonus treats — a trio of tributes from some big names: Cee-Lo Green remixing "Footprints", Pharrell with "Bonita Applebum" and J. Cole remaking "Can I Kick It?" Tonight, we have Dreamville's J. Cole doing a rendition of "Can I Kick It?" and, well, you have to hear it be believe it. Check out J. Cole's reimagining of A Tribe Called Quest's "Can I Kick It?" after the jump.
Q-Tip talks his fourth album, The Last Zulu being on Cruel Winter the best song he produced, his review on A Tribe Called Quest documentary and more with Christina "Queen Diva" Sanchez of HHS1987. Read More
Last week Busta Rhymes headlined Brooklyn Bodega's 8th Annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival and gave a performance for the ages. For possibly the biggest moment of the performance, Busta brought out A Tribe Called Quest AND Leaders of the New School to perform the hit "Scenario." Not only is "Scenario" considered to be one of the biggest songs of all time, but it was also the first time that the track had been performed by everyone on one stage in close to 20 years.
The press release is as followed:
"I am thrilled to be working with Q-Tip once again," said Mr. Weiss, who helmed the artist's releases on Jive Records in the 1990s as a member of A Tribe Called Quest. "He is a respected voice in the music community as shown by his acclaimed solo albums and countless contributions to the work of other artists. His creativity continues to surpass all boundaries of hip-hop, R&B, pop, and jazz. We welcome Q-Tip to the G.O.O.D. Music / Island Def Jam family."
"I'm excited to be a part of the great iconic Def Jam label," said Q-Tip. "I'm humbled to be a part of such a storied history. To reconnect with Barry Weiss is a great thing. As far as G.O.O.D. Music, I'm excited to solidify my working relationship with Kanye, and I look forward to all the opportunities that lie ahead in our partnership. I will do my best to present the most cutting edge music I can."
Q-Tip has been credited as a producer on Kanye West's revered "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" as well as West's much-anticipated 2011 collaboration with Jay-Z, "Watch the Throne." Q-Tip has been in the studio working with Rico Love, Marsha Ambrosius, Kendrick Lamar, and Fiona Apple. He also produced songs on the just-released fourth solo album by bassist/vocalist Esperanza Spalding.
Q-Tip along with former co-members of hip-hop collective A Tribe Called Quest produced and was heavily involved with the documentary, "Beats, Rhymes, and Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest," released in July 2011. Viewers were able to revisit the group's rise to prominence and glimpse the start of Q-Tip's solo career. Fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter of the Q-Tip story leading up to the 2013 release of THE LAST ZULU.

Singapore Airlines says sorry for social media posts
Singapore, July 20, 2014
After getting a drubbing on social media for making statements deemed "insensitive" after the downing of flight MH17, Singapore Airlines (SIA) has issued a public apology and expressed solidarity with families affected by the air tragedy.
Hours after the Malaysia Airlines jetliner was shot down in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, killing 298 people, SIA's Facebook and Twitter updates said its own flights were not using Ukraine airspace.
That triggered a flood of angry responses, with many lambasting SIA for not offering condolences to the victims' families and for mounting what some perceived as a publicity stunt during a crisis involving its neighbouring country's flagship airline.
"You better come up with a more considerate, diplomatic and a more sensitive status before you lose customers," said a post by Edwin Lim on SIA's Facebook page. "Very, very inappropriate and disappointing status."
SIA, Singapore's best known brand, later also clarified that its flights had been re-routed to alternative paths that were away from Ukrainian airspace after the shooting of MH17.
In a statement on Saturday, a spokesman from SIA said: "We are aware of that our Facebook and Twitter update on Friday morning may have come across as insensitive to some." The statement added that SIA had received many requests from customers seeking information about routes for their upcoming flights, however.
"We recognise that the information could have been better communicated and we sincerely apologise if it had offended our customers and anyone else in the online community."
According to Flightradar24, an online flight-tracking service, 66 other carriers flew hundreds of times in the area where MH17 was shot down in the last week. Malaysia flew there 48 times and SIA 75 times. The flight-tracking service also published an image showing an SIA flight from Copenhagen to Singapore was about 25 km from MH17 when the Malaysian jet was brought down. - Reuters

May 27, 2013–September 2, 2013
Mini Golf is now closed. Be sure to check out the 2017 Summer Block Party offerings.
During the summer of 2013, the National Building Museum brought back its popular indoor Mini Golf exhibition. The expanded attraction featured two nine-hole course options, with all new holes designed and built by leading Washington-area architects, landscape architects, and contractors. The courses explored the architects' and designers' ideas for "Building the Future," with twists and turns to challenge golfers young and old. Play these unique courses, designed for ages 4 and up, in air-conditioned comfort during Museum hours from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
The Museum invited firms and individuals to sponsor, design, and construct a hole with the theme of "Building the Future." Many participants have formed teams with other building industry professionals to make their hole as dynamic as possible. The Museum will present a Best in Show award, determined by a jury of design experts, and players will vote for the People's Choice award.

FRED-57250 April 10, 2012 |
Route 620 in Spotsylvania has opened to traffic following assessment of I-95 overpass
FREDERICKSBURG – Route 620 (Harrison Road) in Spotsylvania County has opened to traffic following an inspection of the Interstate 95 overpass.
Earlier this morning, a truck on southbound Interstate 95 struck the I-95 overpass at Route 620. Travel lanes were closed in both directions on Route 620 while VDOT assessed damage to a beam.

A Short And Scary Walk With Andrew Jackson
An extraordinary new historical novel begins with the great political scandal of the 1970s, then visits the great political scandal of the 1820s
October 1992 | Volume 43, Issue 6
[Retrospect: Buchanan runs and wins unprecedented third term as Lancaster congressman on "Federal-Republican" ticket in 1824 election, wherein Jackson sweeps Pennsylvania but whose 99 electoral votes against John Quincy Adams's 83, William Crawford's 41, and Henry Clay's 37 fall short of majority, throwing presidential election into House—apparently takes upon self, as an already prominent Pennsylvania "fixer," the delicate task of sounding out General Jackson on the matter of his intentions if the House elects him—Washington's rumor mill claims that Adams if elected with Clay's help would make Clay Secretary of State, whereas Jackson would keep on Adams, who was already serving in the post, with great distinction, under President James Monroe.]
On the morning of December 30, 1824, young James Buchanan outstayed all the other guests at a gathering in General Jackson's apartments and was rewarded for his patience bv an invitation to take a walk with the former backwoodsman, now the senator from Tennessee. More than tall and lean, Jackson appeared emaciated, even skeletal; not since his impoverished boyhood had he been entirely well. His eyes were a glittering blue. Unruly locks of ashen-yellow hair framed his parched face. A greasy pigtail behind was tied with an eelskin. To Buchanan's nostrils Jackson smelled faintly rancid, and smoky, like beef hung too long in the curing, or like the warmed inside of dogskin gloves. In the open air, this unpleasant impression dissipated: Washington City on this bracing winter morning breathed, beneath its bare sycamores and locust trees, an atmosphere cleansed of the long summer's scarcely tolerable heat. The mudholes in the avenues wore a thin glaze of ice, and the ubiquitous sense of incompletion—of ill-financed starts at marmoreal grandeur thrusting aside the shacks wherein the negroes (then so styled) and the less fortunate class of whites found shelter, with occasional charred proofs of the savage British destruction in 1814 still permitted to stand—was softened by a picturesque mist come up from the swamps by the Potomac. Compared with Lancaster, it was a raw city, a grand design but as yet sketchily given embodiment.
The Hero of New Orleans did not waste much time on pleasantries. "You tarried this morning, Mr. Búchanan," he said, accenting the first syllable of the name in the frontier fashion, "with a gleam in your eye, as of one with a message to impart."
"No message, sir, but merely a question," the thirty-three-year-old politician answered, taken aback but locating courage in the sound of his own voice, a faithful friend, clear and untiring if a little high-pitched, which had seen him through many a court case and stump speech, and which carried even in the abysmal acoustics of the House chamber. "However," he went on, "before I trespass upon your forbearance in posing my question, let me petition in advance for a guarantee of your continuing friendship, which I value most highly among all my claims to public service, saving only my love of the Constitution and the great Christian people which it serves."
"That is nicely said, young man," said Jackson, little concealing his impatience but hoarsely letting escape the words, "You have your guarantee." Nowhere did Jackson fever run higher than in Pennsylvania, so this popinjay from the Keystone State must be allowed his rigamarole.
Still, Buchanan did not dare charge ahead. "My question would be asked on behalf not of my own curiosity but that of many others, all friendly to your interests, and concerns a subject upon which, typically, and to your great honor, you have expressed a determination to remain silent. I recognize that, deeming my question improper, you may refuse to give it an answer; believe me that my only motive in asking it is friendship for yourself, and anxiety that this Republic have as its Chief Executive the man best qualified to lead it—that is, General Jackson!"
In the midday foot traffic along Pennsylvania Avenue, with its rows of freshly planted saplings and its distant termini of an incomplete Capitol and a freshly repaired White House, a small negro urchin darted out and pointed at the two men's dusty boots, offering a fresh application of goose grease, to be polished on a much-trodden wooden box he carried as a tool of his humble trade. Jackson, with a visionary's sure sense of proportion, gave the little petitioner a quick glance relegating him to his place, a low and inconsequential one, whereas Buchanan felt himself inopportunely tugged by pity for the child, and by an irrational sense of obligation to him. The child's need to earn a penny seemed a claim upon him, as the baby's cry is a claim upon the mother and gets the milk to flowing in her breast. But he could hardly allow a shoeshine to interrupt a verbal negotiation upon which the Presidency might hinge!
The general was urging, "Speak on, Mr. Búchanan. From your respectability as a gentleman and a Congressman, I do not expect you would lend yourself to any communication you suppose to be improper. Your motives being pure, let me think what I will of the communication."

Rehabilitation chair

- "The chair is no longer painless. It is, in fact, exquisitely painful"
A rehabilitation chair was a device used in treating mental patients. In 2269, the mental hospital on Elba II had at least one rehabilitation chair which was used to relax the more violent patients. Former Fleet Captain Garth, after taking over the facility, modified the rehabilitation chair into a torture device.
Garth tortured both James T. Kirk and Donald Cory in the rehabilitation chair before Captain Kirk was able to regain control of Elba II. The rehabilitation chair was then converted back to its original use and was part of the treatment used to help cure Garth. (TOS: "Whom Gods Destroy")

text: The Eye of a Needle MARK 10:25). The following is what I have found as the answer. There are at least four possible explanations for what Yeshua said. One, that "eye of a needle" was a narrow mountain pass of which it was difficult for a camel to go through. That explanation is plausible but not very likely there being no known pass by that name in that part of the world. Another explanation is given by E.W. Bullinger in his Companion Bible. He wrote, Manners and Customs of the Bible by James Freeman gives a similar explanation. This second suggestion seems reasonable except for a couple of things. First, at the time of Yeshua's quote, He was on the coast and was near no city gates. We might expect that when Yeshua made reference to something in His teaching, He pointed to it as His illustration. When He said one might wither a fig tree or cast a mountain into the sea ( MATHEW 21:21), He very likely pointed at the fig tree and at mount Olivet and then at the sea. When He said that Solomon was not arrayed like one of these lilies, He probably pointed at the flower for the comparison. If He was standing alongside a city gate as He made this statement about a camel entering through the eye of a needle, Bullinger's suggestion might seem more likely, but not as much so if He was walking along the sea coast.In addition to this, the New Bible Dictionary says concerning the existence of these gates, that "there is no historical evidence to support this". The context of His teaching does not place Him around camels or city gates, and with "no historical evidence to support" the idea that He was indeed referring to a camel going through a city gate, it seems to me quite a stretch to assume Bullinger is right. A third suggestion of the meaning of a camel going through the eye of a needle is given by Abraham Mitrie Rihbany in his book The Syrian Christ. On pages 131-132 quoted below, he comments on the idea of the eye of the needle being a city gate. So, it would appear that although the gates may have existed, they were probably not called needle's eyes. Mr. Rihbany suggests that Yeshua was simply speaking figuratively, as when He said "Ye blind guides, which strain at [out] a gnat and swallow a camel" (MATTHEW 23:24). Perhaps this is so, and without the final explanation given below, it sounds most plausible. Most Christians realize that the Gospels weren't originally written in English. Some think they were written in Latin, most believe they were first written in Greek. Very possibly though, some if not all were written in the language of Yeshua and His followers, Aramaic. This ancient language was all but forgotten until about a hundred years ago, which is why few students are familiar with it. Dr. George Lamsa, who has written extensively about the language and in his book entitled Gospel Light, clarifies for us the probable meaning of Yeshua's words concerning the eye of a needle. I will quote from page 167. Nearly all of the English versions of the Gospels came from Greek texts by translators who may have known little about Aramaic. Thus camel evidently was translated instead of rope. It takes little effort to imagine Yeshua, while walking along the sea coast, pointing to a rope and saying, "It is easier for a rope to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God". Consider also the interesting comment by the Aramaic scholar Andrew Gabriel Roth, where he explains that the rope analogy simply meant that it had to be unwound to pass through the eye of a needle. One final note of information should be passed along to the reader. In his book Judaism in the First Three Centuries of the Christian Era, George Foot Moore shares the following from ancient Jewish beliefs concerning the eye of a needle. Now let us venture beyond that which was actually spoken by the Lord. Let us consider, in the context, what our Lord was meaning by His illustration. His context has to do with entering the kingdom of GOD. In the previous chapter He had warned that "if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire". Then a few verses before the one we are studying, He said, "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein". As we continue reading this record in Mark's gospel we come to our verse in question. A wealthy man had come to Yeshua seeking what he must do to "inherit eternal life". After hearing Yeshua's response, Mark wrote that the man "was sad at that saying, and went away grieved". He was sad and he was grieved because Yeshua's response was not the answer he had hoped for. He didn't realize that greater wealth than he had ever dreamed of could be his if he had only accepted Yeshua's answer. This man was as the seed sown amongst thorns. He was acquainted with accumulating "great possessions" but he was not acquainted with laying up "treasure in heaven". He may have known the commandments but he didn't know the word and will of GOD. It is interesting that before Yeshua gave him his answer, the Scripture says that Yeshua "loved him". That is always why the word is sown. That is why the word is sent. But too often it is rejected. Yeshua wasn't desiring to deprive this rich man of his wealth. Yeshua was showing him the way into the kingdom of GOD. Yeshua was offering him treasures vastly superior to any that moth and rust could corrupt. Thus, three times, as if trying to drive the point home to His disciples, Yeshua said, "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God...how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God...It is easier for a camel [rope] to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God". For Yeshua to declare this warning three times, speaks loudly to those who have ears to hear. The desire for riches was not to be underestimated in its ability to deceive and divert one from the narrow way that would lead unto the kingdom of GOD. Many people living in the Bible lands at the time when the Gospels were written, erroneously believed that all wealth was a blessing from GOD. If one was poor, then the people believed that he must surely be cursed by GOD, but if one was rich he must surely be blessed by GOD. This is why the disciples then "were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?" ( MARK 10:26). They thought that if the rich found it difficult to enter the kingdom of GOD, what chance did the rest of them have?Much of Yeshua's teaching endeavored to correct the false assumption that wealth is always a blessing from GOD. The truth is more the other way (JEREMIAH 9:23-24). Too often the pursuit of wealth insulated them from the workings of GOD in their lives (ISAIAH 41:17-20). It would choke the word sown in their hearts and rob them of eternal treasures their heavenly Father desired for them to obtain. Hence, it was difficult (not impossible) for a rich man to enter the kingdom of GOD. |

text: The ProcessFactoring completely is a three step process: First ExampleLet's see how this applies to our initial example: (x4 - 1) Step 1Step one is to factor a GCF. Since the GCF of x4 and 1 is 1, we skip this step. Step 2Since the expression only has two terms, we cannot factor a trinomial. Step 3Factoring (x4 - 1) as a difference between two squares results in (x2 + 1)(x2 - 1). Now be sure to remember the key phrase "as many times as possible." We must now look to see if there is anywhere else we can factor another Difference Between Two Squares. In (x2 + 1), both terms are positive, so this cannot be factored. However, in (x2 - 1), the second term is negative, and both terms are perfect squares otherwise. So (x2 - 1) factors into (x + 1)(x - 1). As a result, our example expression is finally factored into (x2 + 1)(x + 1)(x - 1) which is factored completely. How did this differ from our first (and failed) attempt to factor the example? When Factoring Completely, we used the Difference Between Two Squares method more than once. Proceed to the next page for another example. |

since we just got back from a wonderful trip to savannah, (congratulations again grace and aaron!) this week's project needed to be super easy and super quick—something we could crank out after working all day at the shoppe. looking around our apartment, we spotted a scrap piece of walnut that we had picked up at a neighbor's sidewalk sale a few days before we left. we had no idea what we'd do with it, but we've learned to never say no to pretty lumber. a quick trip to the hardware store for legs and paint, and voila, we've got ourselves a lovely new coffee table.
have fun!
derek & lauren
CLICK HERE for the full instructions.
here's what you'll need:
a piece of nice wood (ours was 16" x 38")
4 screw-in table legs (ours were 16" early american style)
4 straight top plate hardware mounts
paint (we used a glossy yellow spray paint)
power drill
1. paint your table legs, putting 2-3 coats of paint on each leg.
2. mount the leg hardware 1.5" in from each side of the table, pre-drilling holes if necessary.
3. screw in the 4 legs.
I love this table! And even more so I love the couch's pattern! A perfect pairing!
Wow, who knew you could just throw together a coffee table so quickly? My boyfriend actually made one last year and used the angled leg brackets, which I kind of prefer to the straight ones. Either way, looks great!
Great table! I love big hunks of really good solid wood. Can't wait to try it for myself.
Wow! Very inspiring :)
Great simple project.
so simple, but perfect! i've been looking for the most economical solution for a table and this does the trick.
In this economy, we need as much DIY usable furniture as possible- I love it, it's adorable
It's actually very easy. I'll give it a go!
Great idea. you make it look easy, too!
-susan -
I love it! I made my coffee table with those screw in legs and a piece of plywood. Nice.
I'd like to know what the sofa fabric is and where to get it!
i keep thinking about something similar to this project but find myself wishing that thin shaker-style tapered legs would be sold at these hardware stores. at least my local ones don't have them. any suggestions would be appreciated.

P.S.: Wanted to add great post! -
Suppliers of quality glass tables and chairs direct to the public. Dining furniture. Contemporary and modern in design.
I need to know:
– where can I find the yellow bowl??
– what's the name of the fabric on that sofa??This looks amazing, btw!
Veganexplosion: The yellow bowl is Cathrineholm (midcentury Scandinavian enamelware). Try eBay or etsy. I too am a fan of these designs but find they're a little too pricy for my meager budget!
What are some good resources, or stores, to find pieces of wood of that nature? Or is our best bet to buy a plank of wood and stain/varnish it ourselves?
Thanks! :-)
i got my legs and mounting hardware online at acehardwareoutlet.com for under $20. i called around to several hardware stores in my fairly large city and couldn't find anything readily in stock.
I believe these are Waddell legs, and I found a set at Lowes. They have 4 sets of legs available – 2 screw on, and 2 that need corner brackets and a skirt on the table. Hope that helps!

MHS in Primetime!
On 27 January 27 2009 there was a celebrity sighting at the MHS library. Sarah Jessica Parker, of Sex & the City fame, visited our reading room and worked with material from our manuscript collections. We've kept it under wraps for more than a year waiting for the right moment to tell the world, but now we want everyone to know so that they can share in our celebrity experience!
Sarah Jessica visited as part of filming for the inaugural episode of NBC's new series "Who Do You Think You Are?" This program, an American adaptation of the hit British documentary series by the same title, follows well-known celebrities as they work to discover their proverbial roots, researching their ancestors in an attempt to learn more about their families and themselves.
During her visit Sarah Jessica registered as a researcher and followed all the rules of the reading room – although we did allow the film crew to follow her in, which is way beyond our norm. I spent some time working with SJP in the catalog room, helping her identify and call for the material she wanted to see and then brought the material to her in the reading room. We can't tell you which documents she looked at, though - you'll need to tune in to the show in order to find out!
Sarah Jessica was an eager and interested researcher as well as a gracious celebrity guest. Naturally she was interested in seeing the material we held that was connected to her ancestor, but she also asked questions about the size and scope of our collections and how we preserve our documents. After filming wrapped, she stopped in our lobby to chat with a couple of students from Emerson College that had also been conducting research here and posed for photographs with them. She then stayed on into the evening for a tour of the MHS building and a chance to see some of our treasures. While looking at selected materials from the Adams Family Papers we discovered that March 25, the date Thomas Jefferson wrote his last letter to John Adams, is SJP's birthday (only off by about 140 years). And she enthusiastically agreed when a staff member pointed out that our portrait of Lieutenant Frederick Hedge Webster, who was killed in action while serving in the Massachusetts 54th Regiment in 1864, bore an uncanny resemblance to her husband Matthew Broderick, who played Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, also of the 54th, in the film "Glory."
"Who Do You Think You Are?" debuts on NBC on Friday, 5 March 2010 at 8:00 p.m. with the Sara Jessica Parker episode. The MHS is just one of the many stops Parker makes on her journey of genealogical discovery, so be sure to tune in to learn her story and to catch the MHS library and reading room staff during their 15 minutes of fame.
You can watch some "preview clips" from the show here.

Nobody besides Google insiders know when Android Gingerbread 2.3 will drop, but it's supposed to be any day now. On November 12th, @GoogleMobile tweeted, "Our cafes are baking something sweet" with a link to a photo of gingerbread cookies. But what exactly are they cooking up for 2.3? To give Android application developers an idea of what features they will need to support in this new version, here are the top 9 most anticipated features users are hoping to see. "Perhaps the biggest addition (that we can confirm so far)," Quentyn Kennemer at Phandroid.com said, "has been support for video chat using the same protocols that powers video chat on the desktop version of Google Talk." Now if Google can only get hardware manufacturers to put a front-facing camera on handsets. With Gingerbread, rumor has it that users will be able to stream music from their home computers to their Droid devices, according Marin Perez at IntoMobile.com. Details on how this will work are sketchy, but Google bought a company called Simplify Media, and according to Perez, Google "will use this technology to let you stream all of your unprotected music to your Android." Google gave a sneak peak of this feature back in May. For users who don't have terabytes of music at home to stream, the Android Market is expected to offer music for sale with Gingerbread. "An interesting thing," Perez blogged, "is that Google said its market will be for more than just apps, as you'll soon be able to purchase music from it. That's a clear shot across the bow at Apple and its iTunes juggernaut." Google owns YouTube. "Lean Back" is a version of YouTube that opens in full-screen mode with continuous play and ads. Speculators predict that Gingerbread will take advantage of YouTube's "Lean Back" functionality for YouTube videos, as well as integrating with the Google TV service to provide a much more television-esque video watching experience. The biggest criticsm of Android is that it's user interface (UI) is clunky. Each version of Android has attempted to tackle these UI problems and Gingerbread is likely to follow that trend. In fact, Gingerbread is expected to have a new UI with cleaner, redesigned icons and more lime green. Rather than having applications appear to be something bolted onto the Android operating system, Phandroid's Kennemer reported that unnamed sources said applications will be more seamlessly integrated into the OS. Kennemer said that the YouTube application will be one of the first to get this new treatment. If reports are true, Google's also adding session initiation protocol (SIP) support in its Google Voice application to allow users to receive calls to their Google Voice numbers over Wi-Fi and cellular data. "We've heard that the actual updated Voice application might not be ready for Gingerbread's release, but the underlying framework has already been checked in. Unfortunately, it sounds like this'll be a Gingerbread-exclusive feature," writes Kennemer. This could be a cool feature for Android users who don't have a voice plan with a cell phone provider. Anyone who owns a Droid can tell you that copy and paste is a little clunky right now. Android 2.3 is reportedly going to make this better, but there have been no details leaked on how Google plans to improve copy and paste. It's expected that Google's open source WebM video container format will be included in Gingerbread. Google purchased On2 Technologies in early 2010 and with it they got the VP8 open video compression format. In May, the company launched the WebM Project in an effort to solidify VP8 as the HTML5 codec of choice. It makes sense that Android will take advantage of WebM and VP8. No details are yet available about what this means, but Gethin over at Zimbio reported that this is a "confirmed feature" for Gingerbread. What's known about Android 2.3 is based on rumors and unnamed sources, so you'll have to just wait and see what actually makes it into Gingerbread and what ends up on the cutting room floor.

Generic Name: hydromorphone (HYE-droe-MOR-fone)
Brand Name: Dilaudid
Dilaudid is a narcotic pain reliever that may become habit-forming. Do NOT take more than the recommended dose, take for longer than prescribed, or take more often than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
Dilaudid may also cause severe breathing problems. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol, with other narcotic pain relievers, or with certain other medicines. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may add to this effect. Contact your doctor right away if you experience slow or shallow breathing.
Dilaudid is used for:
Treating pain in certain patients.
Dilaudid is an opioid (narcotic) analgesic. It works in the brain and nervous system to reduce pain.
Do NOT use Dilaudid if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Dilaudid
- you have difficult or slowed breathing, severe asthma, or you are having an asthma attack
- you have known or suspected bowel blockage (paralytic ileus)
- you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Dilaudid:
Some medical conditions may interact with Dilaudid. Tell your health care provider if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances, including latex or sulfites
- if you have had an allergic reaction to any other narcotic pain relievers (eg, codeine, morphine, oxycodone)
- if you have a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other lung or breathing problems (eg, asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, sleep apnea), seizures (eg, epilepsy), adrenal gland problems (eg, Addison disease), an enlarged prostate, heart problems (eg, cor pulmonale), low blood pressure, dehydration, low blood volume, thyroid problems, urinary blockage or trouble urinating, curvature of the spine, low blood oxygen levels (hypoxia), or high blood carbon dioxide levels (hypercapnia)
- if you have severe drowsiness, a recent head injury, growths in the brain (eg, lesions, tumors), or increased pressure in the head
- if you have liver or kidney problems, gallbladder problems, pancreas problems, or stomach or bowel problems (eg, inflammation, pseudomembranous colitis), or if you have had recent stomach or bowel surgery
- if you drink alcohol or have symptoms of alcohol withdrawal
- if you have a personal or family history of mental or mood problems (eg, depression), suicidal thoughts or attempts, alcohol abuse, or other substance abuse or dependence
- if you have stomach pain; if you are in poor health; if you will be having surgery; or if you are in shock caused by heart problems, blood vessel problems, or severe bleeding
- if you are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) or have taken one within the last 14 days
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Dilaudid. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Anticholinergics (eg, scopolamine, oxybutynin) because the risk of trouble urinating and severe constipation may be increased
- Phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine) because the risk of low blood pressure may be increased
- MAOIs (eg, phenelzine), other narcotic pain relievers (eg, codeine, morphine, oxycodone), sodium oxybate (GHB), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because the risk of severe drowsiness may be increased
- Agonist/antagonist analgesics (eg, buprenorphine, butorphanol, pentazocine) or naltrexone because they may decrease Dilaudid's effectiveness and withdrawal may occur
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Dilaudid may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Dilaudid:
Use Dilaudid as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Dilaudid is usually given as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. If you will be using Dilaudid at home, a health care provider will teach you how to use it. Be sure you understand how to use Dilaudid. Follow the procedures you were taught when you use a dose. Contact your health care provider if you have any questions.
- Do not use Dilaudid if it is cloudy or discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged.
- Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children and pets. Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Ask your health care provider how to dispose of these materials after use. Follow all local rules for disposal.
- If you are using Dilaudid for persistent pain, use it on a regular schedule to help control the pain more effectively.
- If you have been using Dilaudid regularly, do NOT suddenly stop using it without checking with your doctor. If you have been using Dilaudid for more than a few weeks and your doctor tells you to stop using it, your dose may need to be gradually lowered as directed by your doctor to avoid side effects.
- If Dilaudid is no longer needed, dispose of it as soon as possible. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how to dispose of Dilaudid properly.
- If you miss a dose of Dilaudid and you are using it regularly, use it as soon as possible. If it is nearing time for the next dose, do not double the dose to catch up, unless advised by your health care provider. Do not use 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Dilaudid.
Important safety information:
- Dilaudid may cause drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, or light-headedness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol, other opiate pain medicines, or certain other medicines. Use Dilaudid with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Do not drink alcohol while you use Dilaudid.
- Check with your doctor before you use medicines that may cause drowsiness (eg, sleep aids, muscle relaxers) while you take Dilaudid; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness.
- Dilaudid may cause dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.
- The risk of Dilaudid becoming habit-forming may be greater if you use it in high doses or for a long time. Do NOT use more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor. Do NOT change your dose or use more often than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
- Dilaudid may cause constipation. To prevent constipation, maintain a diet adequate in fiber, drink plenty of water, and exercise. Talk to your doctor about using laxatives or stool softeners to prevent or treat constipation while you use Dilaudid.
- If your pain continues or becomes worse or if you have side effects that concern you, contact your doctor.
- Dilaudid may contain sulfites, which can cause allergic reactions in certain individuals (eg, asthma patients). If you have previously had allergic reactions to sulfites, contact your doctor or pharmacist to determine if the medicine you are taking contains sulfites.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you use Dilaudid before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Use Dilaudid with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially drowsiness and breathing problems.
- Dilaudid should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Dilaudid while you are pregnant. Dilaudid is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while using Dilaudid.
When used for long periods of time or at high doses, Dilaudid may not work as well and may require higher doses to obtain the same effect as when originally taken. This is known as TOLERANCE. Talk with your doctor if Dilaudid stops working well. Do not use more than prescribed.
Some people who use Dilaudid for a long time may develop a need to continue using it. People who use high doses are also at risk. This is known as DEPENDENCE or addiction. Dependence is unlikely to be an issue in terminally ill patients where comfort is more important. If you are using Dilaudid regularly, do not suddenly stop using it without checking with your doctor. WITHDRAWAL symptoms have occurred when Dilaudid is suddenly stopped and may include anxiety; diarrhea; fever, runny nose, or sneezing; goose bumps and abnormal skin sensations; nausea and vomiting; pain; rigid muscles; seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there; shivering or tremors; sweating; and trouble sleeping. Contact your doctor if you notice any of these symptoms after stopping Dilaudid.
Possible side effects of Dilaudid:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:Constipation; dizziness, drowsiness; dry mouth; flushing; light-headedness; nausea; sweating; vomiting.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); confusion; fainting; fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat; hallucinations; mental or mood changes; seizure; severe or persistent constipation, headache, stomach pain, or vomiting; severe or persistent dizziness or drowsiness; shallow, slowed, or difficult breathing; tremor; trouble urinating; uncontrolled eye movements; uncoordinated muscle movements; vision changes (eg, blurred vision).
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.
If OVERDOSE is suspected:
Contact 1-800-222-1222 (the American Association of Poison Control Centers), your local poison control center, or emergency room immediately.

The environment is right for stock-picking to make a comeback.
With 2012 coming to a close, it's our turn to pontificate on what we expect will happen in 2013. Everywhere you turn this time of year, you will find another 2013 forecast, and most seem to be positive this year (which we find a little scary).
There's general agreement that a positive return in the U.S. market will come from multiple expansion, as margins are already high by historical standards. Although we agree that margins seem pretty high already and that the market's valuation is not overly demanding at these levels, we see two alternative outcomes for the market in 2013. First, our research shows the market is close to fairly valued, so we don't expect much multiple expansion. Second, we think there's the potential for positive surprise from revenue growth. There are plenty of signs that things are improving for the U.S. economy, at least marginally, and we expect the economy to continue to strengthen in 2013, which could mean some earnings growth even without further margin improvement.
All that being said, as the market crawls ever closer to fair value, it becomes increasingly difficult to predict its direction. The good news in that assessment, in our opinion, is that stock selection is becoming increasingly important. Over the past five-plus years, there have been never-ending comments about how correlated markets are, and that stock selection no longer mattered--all that mattered was getting the macro calls right and positioning your portfolio accordingly. In 2012 we have seen some signs that stock-picking is starting to have a bigger impact again, and we expect that will be a continuing theme throughout 2013. For example, the S&P 500 is up about 15% this year, a very good year all things considered. However, housing-related names we recommended in 2011 or early 2012, such as Lowe's LOW or First American Financial FAF, are up 40% and 85%, respectively, since the start of 2012.
So where do we see the next pockets of opportunity in the market? Our top picks, as always, come from the ranks of wide- and narrow-moat companies, because we believe these firms will earn excess returns for longer periods of time than their no-moat counterparts. As of mid-December, we have about 30 firms with 5-star ratings among our wide- and narrow-moat coverage list, with a decent population of European firms and energy companies (energy is among our most undervalued sectors at 86% of fair value). However, there are also some large, global companies on the list, such as Apple AAPL and Rio Tinto RIO.
The valuations of European firms under Morningstar coverage are no longer less demanding than we see for our North American companies, on average. Our European coverage is trading at 93% of fair value, while our North American coverage universe is currently priced at 92% of fair value. This could have more to do with our coverage universe in Europe than the overall market condition; the approximately 250 European firms we cover tend to be larger-cap, moaty, higher-quality businesses that the market has sought out over the past year. That being said, these names did rally quite a bit in the past three months, as the market was pricing our European coverage universe at 87% of fair value just a quarter ago.
In addition to energy, we also see the technology sector as particularly undervalued, at 86% of fair value. Several large-cap technology companies have seen their stocks fall materially in recent quarters, from Apple to Hewlett-Packard HPQ. The list of tech stocks down 10% in the past quarter also includes names like Microsoft MSFT, EMC EMC, and Intel INTC. Although some of these stocks have been suffering from a weak global demand picture, others have faced more company-specific woes; in any case, we expect these challenges to clear up in the future and see opportunity in the tech sector.
Real estate and consumer defensive remain our most overvalued sectors, trading at a 4% and 7% premium, respectively, to our fair value estimates. Investors globally continue to search for yield, and these sectors have benefited. We think this search can be misguided when prices get overly inflated, and investors begin to risk capital in the search for current income. When a wide- or narrow-moat stock trades at a discount to fair value and offers a good yield, you may have something there. But the higher a stock trades above fair value, the more likely it will converge to that fair value and hurt your total return. It is a rare dividend that sufficiently compensates for that risk, so it's critical to look at the whole picture when buying stocks.
Clearly consumer defensive names have also benefited from their relative business stability and high proportion of wide moats. We do generally require a smaller margin of safety around names like this, but we still believe some margin of safety is important. Stocks are all about risk/reward, and the cheaper you buy a great company, the more likely you put the risk/reward equation in your favor.
