Hi Sudhanshu,
Thanks for checking in, we've been busy placing orders and materials are arriving daily- I'm hoping to post some photos in the next couple days.
We've also been working on cleaning up our plans, and as we build the new machines I will be creating the build instructions- we hope to be able to post those soon!

Hi Andy,
Any update on your progress?

Hi Nietaki,
Thanks for the question. The pedal genny in the video is using a permanent magnet DC generator (Ametek or similar) from ebay- you can get them for $50-100. The big rig in the video is using a WindBlue PMA http://www.windbluepower.com/
We have also used treadmill motors (also from ebay) $30-80.
The important thing to know about generators is how many Volts/RPM- then you know how fast you need to spin it to make useful power.
Good Luck!
Sudhanshu Prasad Vyas on
We hit the minimum. Woohoo!!!

Hi Robert,
Thanks! We have run an air compressor with the Big Rig (it's shown in one of our videos). It's quite easy to pedal, I'm just not sure of gpm- it would be great to run a test for throughput.
Andy Wekin Creator on
Toby, Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for the support! It takes a whole community to make it happen, so thank you!
Robert Burk on
Love the idea. Would like to use pedal power to run a simple piston pump to fill a compressed air tank delivering 100 psi for shop tools. Any experience with this type of application?
Toby Wollin on
Alright!!! Upstate NY inventors strike again!!! I'm from Binghamton, so I appreciate what you guys are doing. Very happy to support you.
Andy Wekin Creator on
Hi Laura,
The Pedal Genny can recharge a deep cycle battery, yes. It's just a question of time- some of those batteries can be large and it might take you multiple hrs of pedaling to recharge from empty.

Hey Matt,
Absolutely right, I really want to see what is possible. There is one gym I know of that has tried this- the Green Microgym- they say they can offset about 85% of their electricity use! Imagine if all fitness centers did that...
Matt Teegarden on
As many people as I see on bikes, ellipticals and treadmills at the gym, it makes me wonder the electrical power output would be if a gym were full of these instead.
Also reposted this on Facebook, so hopefully some friends will check it out!

Hey Ben,
That's a great idea- super simple and small footprint. We haven't done coffee grinding yet (though lots of grinding grain, etc). We are developing a smaller lever driven unit that would be well suited to kitchen tasks (grinding, blending, food processor, etc)- you are correct that doing things with leg power is much easier than hand power (4-8x) and for small tasks you don't need to produce the large power that our machines are designed to generate.
Ben O'Brien on
I have a small exercise board that rocks back and forth on a half circle when you step on it. I want to get the porlex coffee grinder and hook it up so that it grinds coffee with the energy from this board so it is much faster, efficient and balanced.
My idea to you then is to make this into a smaller compact unit that is affordable. Instead of a whole bike just a small stepping machine to do small tasks such as grind coffee with Japanese coffee grinders.
The Porlex coffee grinder is better and cheaper then much more expensive coffee grinders yet not considered because of the effort needed to grind the coffee.
Andy Wekin Creator on
Hey Ezra,
Thanks for the kudos! It's great to hear the grain mill is still in the daily grind- it is great for us to be some small part of the amazing things you and Evan are doing- keep up the good work!
Thanks again,
Ezra Bloom on
Andy and Steve - I love what you guys are doing. I hope you guys change the world. Let's start with New England, huh?
The grain mill you built for us is still the hotspot on the brewery tour. We've got a link up on our facebook and website to the kickstarter, hopefully it'll send some traffic your way.
Ezra, Glass Bottom Brewery

text: What is love? The recent launch of ACF's new logo and the narrative of love that accompanies it has prompted me to consider this concept of love in our work with traumatised children. Having love as a value seems fundamental to everything we do in both our personal and professional lives. Yet, when we unpack what love means in the context of children who have experienced trauma, it is way more complex. Posted on Nov 22, 2017 Read more

Of the many insults and ad hominem attacks hurled at billionaire businessman and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, the accusation that he is "racist" seems by far the most popular among liberals and the mainstream media.
Trump held a campaign rally Wednesday afternoon in Atlanta, Georgia, a city that has certainly known it's share of real racism over the decades.
Joining him at the rally was Georgia native and successful black businessman Herman Cain, an outspoken Trump surrogate who introduced his friend to the boisterous crowd ahead of his speech.

"There's a lot of lies out there," Cain stated. "Allow me to set the record straight, about one of the biggest lies out there about Donald Trump, and I hope the liberals and liberal media is listening."

TRENDING: Hate: CNN Commentator Explodes Over Trump Supporter's Minority Son
"Donald Trump is not a racist," he proclaimed forcefully. "I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. I know what a racist looks like when I see one, and Donald Trump is not a racist."
Herman Cain does indeed know what real racism looks like, as he only has to look back at the manner in which the liberal media treated him when he ran for the GOP nomination in 2012, not to mention the racism he certainly faced as a young black man growing up in Georgia before, during and after the civil rights era.

Would Cain, or Dr. Ben Carson, or any other minority figure, have stepped up to publicly support Trump if he really were a hateful and bigoted racist? Not likely.
Nevertheless, the liberal media will likely persist in smearing Trump as a racist for the remainder of the general election cycle, if not longer. The only response is for Trump-supporting minorities to stand up and be even more vocal in expressing their support.

Josephe Murray, 18, of the 5700 block of Reedland Street, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with murder and robbery.
Tom Watson, 36, known as DJ Fenix, was shot and killed at the Haagen-Dazs ice cream shop at 242 South Street around 3:45 a.m. Saturday. Watson's apartment was in the same building.
On Monday, police sources told Action News they found a large amount of cocaine and marijuana in his apartment.
Those sources believe Watson would sell drugs at his performances.
Police sources say they also believe Watson was targeted because of the drugs, because his attackers made no effort to steal his music equipment.
In addition, police sources say, they have surveillance video of the attack and the killers were not wearing masks.
The video shows Watson fighting with his attackers, police sources say, before he was shot multiple times.
Watson worked as a DJ at Tavern 222.It was not immediately known if any more arrests would be made in this case.

Bernebeu goal machine set to ask for exit?
Ronaldo: I'm unhappy at Madrid
Cristiano Ronaldo has publicly revealed he is unhappy at Real Madrid due to a mystery "professional issue."
Ronaldo scored his 150th goal in 149 games for Madrid in a 3-0 win over Granada on Sunday evening but pointedly refused to properly celebrate at the Bernabeu.
When quizzed by journalists in the mixed zone following the Liga game, Ronaldo sparked speculation over his future by revealing he is not content with life at the Spanish champions.
"I'm sad because of a professional issue and the club know why," Ronaldo said. "That's why I didn't celebrate the goals, because I'm not happy. The people [at the club] know why.
"It's nothing to do with Andres Iniesta [winning UEFA's Best Player in Europe award]. I won't talk about this anymore and I will concentrate on Portugal for now. There are more important things [than this].
"The people at the club know about this. I cannot say any more."
It is also reported that Ronaldo was spotted crying in the Madrid dressing room following the victory over Granada.
SOURCE: Eurosport
So what could be the problem here?
Those who witnessed Cristiano Ronaldo's subdued goal celebrations may have been forgiven for thinking that the Real Madrid man has just become bored of hitting the back of the net, It must take a certain amount of energy to be excited about yet another goal, but apparently there is more to this than meets the eye.
Various stories of this type occurred during the former Man United's first two seasons at the Bernabeu but that was generally seen as a sign of his disappointment at seeing Real Madrid once again pipped to the post by Barcelona, but given that Jose Mourinho guided his side to a La Liga title last term it seems harder to see what the issue is.
Could the professional issue relate to wage demands? Transfer policy? Someone messing with his hair gel?

Another week, another horrific case of gun violence, another opportunity for the presidential candidates to tell us what they plan to do about controlling the flow of weapons in this country.
Don't bet on it.
A gunman opened fire on the campus of Texas A&M this week, leading to the deaths of a constable and a bystander—the gunman himself also was killed. But if you think this incident will inspire either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney to give us specifics about their plans for tighter gun regulations any time soon, you're delusional. They didn't speak out after the horrific killings in Colorado last month. So they're certainly not going to speak out now.
It is said that states like New York won't matter in the presidential race because we are not a battleground state. But New York can and should make a difference as a voice for common sense and reasonable gun control. The candidates may be unmoved, but New Yorkers are not—Democrats, Republicans and independents overwhelmingly support aggressive enforcement of existing gun laws.
New York can be a leader on this issue in the fall, a passionate advocate for the countless victims of gun violence.

Variety is reporting Jessica Biel is in talks to play the Amazonian Warrior in the Justice League of America film. Guess this means yesterday's rumor is just another rumor.
But what of Superman, Batman, the Flash, and Aquaman?
…the film's likelihood hinges on the studio's ability to assemble a cast of superheroes in a small window of time. Christian Bale and Brandon Routh — Warner's reigning Batman and Superman, respectively — are not expected to join the production.
Instead of announcing the roles as they are cast, the studio will announce the entire cast at once.
So for now, guess we're playing the waiting game. My guess is we won't have to wait long, the film is expected to begin shooting in February 2008.
8 Comments
Just some thoughts…..what would everyone think of Ryan Reynolds as The Flash? I've always thought he'd make a good Scarlet Speedster, and now the announcement of Biel as WW made that thought jump back into my head. I could even see him as Ollie. I'm still lost on who they'd get to play Superman and Bats. I can't think of any big name (other than the current two) who would look the part.
She's got the build for it but her acting can leave a little less than desired. Hope they stay true to the costume and not the Jen Garner- Elektra silk pants treatment. Charisma Carpenter circa season 3 of Angel would have been WAYYY BETTER!
I don't like her, she is too skinny. Wonder Woman should be tall and strong, like Lucy Lawless or Chyna
I can see Lucy Lawless, but Chyna? Please, my ninja friend, tell me you were joking. WW isn't even that muscular in the comics. Why would you want her to look like a 'roid freak in a movie?
Chyna? I think Chyna would be more suitable to play Gorilla Grodd than Wonder Woman.

A look at four keys for the Bears to beat the Indianapolis Colts.
1. Give Andrew Luck different looks he's never seen before
Many have called Colts rookie quarterback Andrew Luck the most-NFL ready quarterback to come out of college since Peyton Manning in 1998. That's high praise for a guy who is replacing Manning in Indianapolis and steps into a giant shadow cast by the future Hall of Famer. Even Manning struggled in his first season in the league. As prepared as Luck might be, we have yet to find out if he can handle a complex defensive game plan because he did not encounter that in the preseason. Similar to how the Bears confused and harassed fellow rookie Robert Griffin III in the preseason, and how they battered Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan in the 2011 season opener, the defense needs to come after Luck all afternoon. An uncomfortable Luck can't beat a seasoned defense like the Bears have, but a comfortable, confident one certainly can.
2. Hit them up top early
My goodness, the Bears have the weapons to be a legitimate passing team in the NFL. We get to experience that for real now that the practice season is over. There's no reason to keep the Ferrari in first gear right out of the gates. If I were offensive coordinator Mike Tice, I'd go up top early in the game, much like the Bears did against the Redskins in the preseason. Granted, Jay Cutler's 41-yard strike to Brandon Marshall on the first offensive play of that game was an audible, not a play called by Tice. But perhaps Tice should have made a mental note and included that in this week's game plan. When you come out of your corner at the sound of the bell against a weaker opponent, you throw a few immediate haymakers and see if you can rattle them and set the tone early. The Colts, in rebuilding mode, will stagger if they get smacked in the mouth early in the game and the Bears can ride that momentum through four quarters.
3. Come at them with a steady dose of the run game
Make no mistake about it, even if the Bears choose to strike through the air early, that does not mean they can neglect the run game altogether. Let's all remember Brian Urlacher's knee issue, Julius Peppers' foot problem, and the collective age of the defense. The offense can't just score quick; they need to give the defense a chance to rest on the sideline because it'll be a long season. The Colts had the fourth-worst run defense in 2011, and even though they may have taken steps to try to improve that this year, the duo of Matt Forte and Michael Bush should still be able to rip through the Colts defense like a rock through a wet paper towel.
4. Pin them deep with solid special teams play
With punter Adam Podlesh's status still up in the air, rookie Ryan Quigley may be called to action. Whichever punter is in the game, he'll have to come up big with field-changing bombs. The best way to apply pressure on a young quarterback is to pin him deep in his own end of the field in a noisy stadium on the road. When deep in their own red zone, the Colts will almost certainly go vanilla in their play calling and limit what Luck can do.

From Stockton, California, USA:
My vision becomes blurry and I become very weak sometimes. I check my sugar and it changes from 104 to 134 mg/dl [5.8 to 7.4 mmol/L] back to back and sometimes over. What does this mean?
There is a lot I don't know about these readings such as: are they before or after eating and how far apart are they taken? These readings seem pretty normal so I don't think they are the reason for the blurry vision.

Bioengineering Student and Entrepreneur
Noah Snyder, who recently completed a PhD in bioengineering at Pitt, smiles broadly recalling the first time he was gripped by the entrepreneurial impulse that has propelled his life forward ever since.
During his Pitt studies, he participated in a Saturday-morning workshop to help faculty and students identify research projects that address unmet health care needs. The workshop—organized by Pitt's Innovation Institute—also offered guidance on commercializing promising research to benefit the larger community.
"In that presentation it became clear to me that being an entrepreneur was what I wanted to do," says Snyder. "I didn't have an idea yet for a product or a company, but I knew the path I was going to follow."
In the nearly two years since his epiphany, Snyder has taken advantage of every resource offered by Pitt's Innovation Institute—and the work has resulted in the formation of a company, Interphase Materials, nurtured from idea to reality.
Snyder began by recruiting and collaborating with several fellow Pitt graduate students to extend some interesting research. The results won top prizes in three different Pitt business plan competitions, and the lab-developed technology has since been licensed and accepted into the local AlphaLab Gear business accelerator, where the technology and business strategy continue to evolve.
A Pitt Innovation Institute workshop inspired Noah Snyder to become an entrepreneur. "I didn't have an idea for a product or a company, but I knew the path I was going to follow," he says.
Today, Snyder is the president and CEO of Interphase Materials, a company that develops specialized additives and coatings that are anti-fouling, anti-corrosive, and environmentally safe. The company "specializes in places where hardware meets environment," including anti-barnacle marine applications and medical implants. All of this created from the seeds of ideas and research nurtured at Pitt by Snyder (ENGR '15G) and fellow graduate students Kasey Catt and Andrew Glowacki (ENGR '15G).
"Noah and his team have really taken advantage of all the Innovation Institute has to offer, and have put what they have learned directly into practice to build their business," says Marc Malandro, Innovation Institute Founding Director. "They are indicative of the surge in entrepreneurial activity at Pitt."
Interphase Materials is one of more than 117 startup companies launched through the University of Pittsburgh since 1996.

(Updates with details from committee meeting)
By Toni Clarke
WASHINGTON, June 25 (Reuters) - An advisory panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended on Wednesday that AstraZeneca Plc be required to submit further clinical data before its experimental ovarian cancer drug is approved.
The panel voted 11-2 that the company should complete a second trial to confirm results seen in a smaller study which, while positive, were not robust enough to convince the committee that they could be reproduced.
Panel members expressed concern about a potential increased risk of secondary cancers in patients receiving the drug, olaparib, as well as side effects such as nausea and gastrointestinal disturbances.
The FDA is not obliged to follow the advice of its advisory panels but typically does so.
Olaparib is one of several cancer drugs AstraZeneca flagged as having strong potential in its defense of a $118 billion take-over bid by Pfizer Inc.
It is designed as a maintenance therapy for patients with relapsed ovarian cancer whose tumors have responded completely or partially to platinum-based chemotherapy.
The panel was asked by the FDA to weigh whether data submitted by AstraZeneca from the initial study is strong enough to allow the drug on the market pending results from a second, confirmatory trial.
Olaparib, whose proposed brand name is Lynparza, blocks the activity of Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), an enzyme that plays a key role in cell repair.
Patients taking the drug in a clinical trial had a seven-month median improvement in progression-free survival, a benchmark that measures the amount of time a patient lives without the disease getting worse.
But both the FDA, in a review published on Monday, and the advisory committee members, noted that the way the company conducted its analysis created uncertainty about the validity of the results.
The drug is aimed at women with certain hereditary BRCA gene mutations that account for an estimated 10-15 percent of all cases of ovarian cancer, or about 2,000 cases a year in the United States.
Patients with the mutations tend to respond better to chemotherapy so they are likely to undergo multiple rounds. Periods away from chemotherapy allow the patient to recover from side effects before undergoing a new round.
In theory, olaparib would extend that period of recovery time. But AstraZeneca collected some of the data retrospectively using archived blood samples, calling into question the reliability of the real benefit.
Data also showed there was no difference in overall survival between patients who received the drug and those who got a placebo.
AstraZeneca has said sales of olaparib could reach $2 billion a year, although some Wall Street analysts see sales at less than half that amount.
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in U.S. women, with an estimated 22,000 new cases diagnosed and 14,270 deaths in the United States in 2014.
Olaparib's most common side effects were nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and anemia. (Reporting by Toni Clarke in Washington; Editing by Bill Trott and Sandra Maler)

In pre-crisis Estonia a discount was almost a foreign concept. Ten percent off might be given, but then only, it sometimes seemed, if you were a blood relative of the business owner or had once saved his life in an armed conflict.
Now, around 25 deal-of-the-day websites are bringing the discount culture to the market with discounts of up to 75 percent off regular prices. But how much discounting can one tiny market endure?
Seeds in America
It all started with Groupon, a portmanteau derived from "group coupon." The US company was founded in 2008 to offer daily internet discounts of up to 90 percent on goods and services. And it's been well received by consumers: the financial media has speculated that Groupon will set a new speed record for hitting a billion dollars in gross sales.
It was Cherry.ee who first brought the product to Estonia, albeit with a model modified for local market conditions. Cherry's marketing director Martin Kõiva says his company tries to keep the average discount at 50 percent. Discounts are rarely less than that, unless the product or service is "something big," as Kõiva characterizes it.
Something big would be direct flights on Estonian Air, which have been offered through Cherry at a 40-percent discount. Discounts in Estonia don't routinely approach the American 90 percent, though sometimes they do stretch to 75 percent.
The broker's commission also differs from the American version. "Groupon always takes 50 percent," said Kõiva, "and ours is a lot less." In the deal-of-the-day model, website operators earn money only when their clients' products sell. Ingvar Kupinski, CEO of Cherry's competitor Deal24, a German-backed venture in Estonia, says 20 to 25 percent is the average commission in Estonia. "And it's less in Latvia, and in Lithuania even less than that."

If you're looking to shrink and tone your belly, there's a better way to do it than trying to do crunches. In fact, research has shown that doing abdominal exercises alone—even when performed five days a week for six weeks—has no effect at all on subcutaneous fat stores and abdominal circumference.
The cortisol is an important hormone, which depletes lean muscle and holds on to fat in the abdominal region. You can promote the burning process by getting enough sleep, reducing the stress levels, lowering the consumption of sugar, eating fats, and doing high-intensity interval training.
The Key Strategy for Reducing Belly Fat
Probably the most important thing besides the tips mentioned above is the proper diet. We present you the ABS Diet.
The ABS Diet
This diet includes various delicious foods. It incorporates healthy protein, healthy fats, healthy carbs. There is hardly anything you will have to give up. All you have to do is to include two to three of these foods in each meal and at least one in your snacks. Hence, you should eat the acronym.
A – Almonds and Other Nuts (with skins intact)
They build muscle, curb appetite, fight obesity, heart disease, muscle loss, wrinkles, cancer, and high blood pressure.
B – Beans and legumes
They build muscle, stimulate fat-burning, regulate digestion, fight obesity, colon cancer, heart disease, and hypertension.
S – Spinach and other green vegetables
Superpowers Neutralizes free radicals, molecules that accelerate the aging process. Fights Cancer, heart disease, stroke, obesity, osteoporosis
D – Dairy products (fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese)
Superpowers Builds strong bones, fires up weight loss. Fights Osteoporosis, obesity, high blood pressure, cancer
I – Instant oatmeal (no sugar or flavors added)
It increases energy, decreases bad cholesterol and regulates sugar. Enjoy it more often to fight heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer and obesity
E – Eggs
They build great muscles and boost immunity. Eat free-range eggs to lose weight and treat diseases
T – Turkey and other lean meats
Superpowers Builds muscle, strengthens immune system. Fights Obesity, various diseases

Chattanooga takes conference crown
Mocs earn title after starting day trailing by four
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – The Chattanooga Mocs and sophomore Jordan Britt swept the Southern Conference Women's Golf Championship at Moss Creek Golf Club Tuesday. Britt's medalist honor led UTC to its third consecutive title.
It wasn't easy for the Mocs who trailed by four to start the day. They closed to within a shot through 15 when the Spartans recovered to extend the lead to two through 16 on Ana Lucia Martinez's birdie.
But UTC continued its solid play down the stretch. The ladies played the final three holes at just one-over par on the counting cards. That was in stark contrast to UNCG. The 18th hole served as the rallying point to victory. The Mocs played it at plus one, while the Spartans tallied three bogeys and a costly double to see their lead slip into a three-shot defeat.
Chattanooga's 301 was not only the low team round of the day, but it was the round of the tournament. Its last 36-hole total of 604 was 14 shots better than UNCG's 618 which was the league's second-best total in that span.
Britt capped a solid 54 holes with a two-over par 74. She claimed the three-stroke medalist victory after finishing as a runner-up last year to teammate Emma de Groot (2008-11).
Her lead was precarious after a bogey at 15 opened the door to UNCG's Fanny Cnops, the 32nd-ranked player in the country. The lead was one at that time, but Britt parred out as Cnops dropped a couple of strokes to provide the final margin.
Maria Juliana Loza continued her amazing postseason run. She finished third (227) marking three consecutive top-five finishes for the senior in SoCon Championship play.
Marion Duvernay and Mette Kryger tied for 14th at 237. Duvernay shot 75, one shot off Britt's team-leading 74. Sophie Weilguni shot 76, her best round of the tournament, to end up at 245.

Book Review: Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by: Jane Austen and Ben H. Winters
So...looking around at other reviews on this book I seem to be one of the few who feel the same way I do about this book, or maybe one of the few who hold this opinion but actually read the book. Before I read this book all I could think about was how this man is destroying a classic, totally defacing it. Now, after having given the author a fair chance, I feel he is totally defacing a classic but...in a creative way. This is the first time I have ever seen a book like this and well, by the pop up of these books over the last year, it won't be the last. I finished this book and Winters goes into some very creative meanderings with the original characters and language as Jane Austen favored but I still just felt wrong reading it.
*This book was provided to me by Quirk Classics to review*
For more information or for purchasing visit Ben H. Winter's webpage.
I give this book 1/5 stars. ★

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
Would love to see it go, but a government replacement does not sound too promising based on past experience.If we do get new rules then the pain of adoption, change and compliance begins anew. But I suppose it is worth it, the customer is getting screwed on this deal with the compliance fees.
I agree with the article. I work for a community bank. The cost for us to do business since Dodd-Frank has escalated tremendously. We strive to do everything to serve our customer base. We have branches in a lot of small rural communities. We are one of the few that still service our mortgages and sell directly to the secondary market. It is almost overwhelming to try to understand and stay in compliance with all of the regulatory changes. We have had to hire additional compliance staff and our third party QC costs have tripled from previous years.I understand the importance of changes that needed to be made. I understand the need for regulations, however I believe the current regulations are too cumbersome. The current regulations penalize lenders that are trying to do it right and have been. There are still gaps and loopholes for the lenders that prey on consumers and the regulations do not stop them. They are still out there and continuing to open new shops everyday. I definitely believe changes need to be made to the current Act and the regulatory burden eased.
The process for preparing a CD closing disclosure varies by institution. I've been closed mortgages with lenders where the process that is transparent and barely adds additional preparation time. Most lenders have various departments cannot reach an agreement on what needs to be included, when and how, subjecting the borrower to unnecessary delays and costs. I have been penalized as a broker for their misunderstanding of the process.The latter is more the norm with this new process. Getting a home mortgage is a big step for most borrowers and with TRID it turns into a nightmare of delays and emotional outbursts. Some borrowers are so frustrated ready to walk away from first time purchases.The increased frustration and anxiety is driven by regulations designed to protect them. There needs to be a better way!

That's me at my new diggs.
I moved offices along with New School Communications after my friend and business partner Blois Olson sold his company to the Tunheim Partners PR firm; I'm going along for the ride.
We moved in last weekend so this is the first week at the new location; which is in Minneapolis, very close to the Humphrey Terminal and Mall of America.
So, I'm snapping photos with my crappy camera phone and one of Tunheim's Vice Presidents walks by my office, pauses, chuckles, stops and asks me with a smile what the photos are for. I explain that they are for the amusement of my friends seeing me go "corporate." She was nice enough to take a picture of me, which you see above.
I have a lovely view of the hotel across the street and I'm told that there are often nude sitings, a phenomena I'm not quite sure I'm ready to see. I do also have a view–not a vista–of the Saint Paul skyline, which is nice.
The first couple of days I was absolutely freezing (which was the case with the previous office) and that drives me absolutely crazy. I hate being cold. But today, happily, I found the heat register so that will no longer be a problem.
Tunheim rents the entire 11th floor of the Riverview Tower and the place is laid out as you'd expect any offices to be laid out, so it does feel corporate.
So I'm gonna keep it loose and keep it real by calling my new office, "The Crib." 🙂

Our Academy Trust has taken its name from The Blessed Cyprian Tansi. Within our Trust there are six schools working in collaboration to improve the learning and life potentials for all of our children. The five Primary schools are: Holy Cross Whitwick, St Calre's Coalville, St Winefrides Shepshed, St Mary's Loughborough and Sacred Heart Loughborough. Our one secondary partner is DeLisle Voluntary Academy, Loughborough.
Blessed Cyprian Tansi was a monk of the order of Cistercians of the strict obserance (Trappists) community (Mount St Bernards Abbey) for 14 years, from 1950, until his death, in 1964. Iwene Tansi was born in 1903 at Igboezunu in Nigeria. At the age of nine he was baptised, receiving the name Michael. As a young man, he worked as a catechist and school teacher before entering a seminary at the age of 22. He was ordained a priest for the Onitsha diocese in 1937 at the age of 34. From the moment of his ordination, Michael Tansi joined an energetic apostolic zeal to a life of profound prayer and demanding personal asceticism.
His care for the people committed to him in the diocese of Onitsha made him ardent in propagating devotion to the Sacred Heart, to Our Lady, and the Rosary. His belief in the value for the whole Church of the hidden life of prayer in a contemplative Order, led Fr Tansi to join Mount Saint Bernard Abbey in 1950.
On becoming a Cistercian monk, he took the name Cyprian. Fr Cyprian worked in the refectory and bookbindery.The transition to Mount Saint Bernard and the Cistercian life must have been difficult for him, but what always made him remarkable was the iron strength and tenacity of his will which was, from boyhood, directed entirely towards God. No tragedy or trial could weaken his complete trust in God's providence. He used to say, "if you are going to be a Christian at all, you might as well live entirely for God". Fr Cyprian died in the Leicester Royal Infirmary on the 20th January 1964, aged 61.
He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 22nd March 1998, in Nigeria.
Blessed Cyprian,
during your life on earth
you showed your great faith and love
in giving yourself to your people
and by the hidden life
of prayer and contemplation.
Look upon us now in our needs,
and intercede for us with the Lord.
May he grant us the favour we ask
through our prayers. Amen.
Blessed Cyprian's Feast Day is on 20th January.

Act with faith and work to end poverty!
Although poverty is a big problem, it is not an insurmountable one.
Faithful people are called to engage in this work as it is written in the book of James 2:15-17:
"Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
We invite your church/congregation to use our FREE tool kit to get involved and to help those living in poverty. Get involved throughout the year.
Your FREE tool kit includes:
- Inspiring sermon outlines to incorporate into a Sunday worship service.
- "Life on a Dollar a Day" curriculum to raise awareness of the effects of living in poverty that can be taught in your Sunday School or Bible classes.
- A "Life on a Dollar a Day" activity where members of your congregation commit to spend only $1.50 per day (for all three meals) to experience the physical effects of poverty, and then donate the total cost of their daily meals to support those living in poverty.
- Focused prayers for the people suffering in poverty that can be used to inspire congregation members to make a special offering.
- A list of scripture texts focused on poverty and the poor that can be used in Sunday School lessons, sermons, Bible classes, etc.
- Newsletter and bulletin templates to inspire and update your congregation and/or church on the activities they can participate in to help those living in poverty.
- Fact sheet on poverty.

ACO's NEW drainage system.
ACO Corporate
ACO System Chain - drainage solutions for tomorrow's environmental conditions
Increasingly extreme weather must be counteracted by more complex and sophisticated drainage concepts. ACO achieves this with intelligent system solutions; which have a dual purpose: protecting people from water, and water from people. Every ACO product within the ACO system chain helps control the water as it passes along the chain to ensure that it can be ecologically and economically reused viably.
Surface water, or liquids are collected from surface quickly and completely by the drainage system. This part of the ACO system chain guarantees protection, safety and comfort for people, buildings and vehicles in the immediate vicinity.
Collected liquids are treated using integrated physical, chemical or biological processes that ensure they can be discharged into the public sewers – the minimum requirement. This part of the ACO system chain creates the conditions for recycling and sustainable use.
Containers, barriers and valves ensure that liquids stay within the drainage system where they can be properly controlled. This part of the ACO system chain enhances protection and safety for extreme situations: e.g. heavy rain, flooding or handling hazardous liquids.
Products are needed to release the collected, cleaned and controlled water into the downstream systems. This part of the ACO system chain brings the collected, cleaned and controlled water to the interfaces for further treatment, re-use or release.

(AP) Johnson scores late, No. 7 Miami tops Wake 24-21
By TIM REYNOLDS
AP Sports Writer

Johnson finished with 168 yards on 30 carries for the Hurricanes (7-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference),
Tanner Price's 44-yard touchdown pass to Dominique Gibson with 4:02 remaining put Wake Forest on top, but the Hurricanes went 73 yards on their next 10 plays, with Johnson scoring to keep Miami unbeaten heading into next week's showdown at No. 3 Florida State.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 18, 2014
England Van Lines, one of the most respected cross state moving companies in Southern California, specializing in local, county, cross state, national and international moves, is pleased to announce that they have recently updated their fleet of modern long distance moving trucks with bio-diesel to reduce their impact on the delicate ecosystem and to increase fuel efficiency. The trucks are already outfitted with low rolling resistance tires and GPS tracking systems to better attain and track associated logistics—and the new bio-diesel engines increase fuel efficiency while reducing emission output.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, bio-diesel trucks are friendly to the environment because they emit fewer "unburned hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and particulate matter (PM)" – which are emitted from the tailpipes when petroleum based diesel fuels are combusted in truck engines. Instead, bio-diesel fuel can reduce emissions by as much as 75 percent, according to the Alternative Fuels Data Center, thus substantially reducing the impact that cross state moving would have upon the fragile environment and ecosystem.
Furthermore, bio-diesel fuel is considered to be nontoxic. In the event of accidental spillage, the U.S. Department of Energy clearly states that it will cause substantially less damage than other fuels that are used in trucks. England Van Lines is pleased to announce that their entire fleet of cross state moving trucks has been upgraded to use this safer, more efficient and nontoxic fuel source.
"As a forward thinking company, we at New England Van Lines are constantly striving to do everything in our power to reduce our carbon footprint and impact upon the environment while providing valuable cross state moving services for our customers," said company spokesperson William Alexander. "We are pleased to announce that we've recently completed the upgrades on our entire fleet, and that all of our long distance class 4-8 haulers are now using more environmentally friendly and nontoxic bio-diesel fuels."
New England Van Lines is one of the most respected cross state moving companies in Southern California. They provide local, county, cross state, national and international moving services for customers around the globe, and also offer their own secure storage facilities with crating and packing services. You can learn more about their cross country relocation services by visiting England Van Lines online.

This 5 page PDF (8 with front & back cover & OGC declaration) details the Cudgel Thug Prestige Class. It also includes an NPC write-up of one Crawsmasher, Half-Orc Cudgel Thug, as well as a number of new feats and two new weapons, the Rungu and Shillelagh, both club variants. This PDF is interesting, as in addition to the historical overview of the club and class overview, the introduction also includes a brief set of designer notes. The designer here describes his vision for the class, as a strong-arm thug and enforcer that operates on a BTOTHATS (Bash Them Over The Head And Take Their Stuff) model, with the club as a weapon of choice. He makes both the club and the class interesting by adding interesting club based combat feats.
The Cudgel Thug is a five level Prestige Class. The entry requirements for the class include a Base Attack Bonus of +5, and weapon focus (club), as well as a Sneak Attack ability of +1d6. Thus fighter/rogue combos can qualify for the class most easily. The Cudgel Thug is a combat oriented class with a d8 hit-die. It is limited to Non-good alignments as it MO is incompatible with a Good alignment.
Class members gain a number of special Feats enhancing their use of the club. At first level the gain the Coldcock, Merciful Impact, and Subdual Master feats. Coldcock allows a character to, after studying his opponent 3 rounds, cause an opponent to make a Fortitude save against a DC of 10 plus the cudgel thugs level and strength modifier, if he successfully deals damage with his sneak attack. Subdual Master and Merciful Impact allows the character to make non-lethal attacks at no penalty to hit (it is usually -4) and allows him to add his Int or Wis modifier to any non-lethal damaged caused by a successful non-lethal attack, respectively. Additional Feats include Improvised Weapon and Incapacitating Critical which allow the character to use any appropriate item as a club and to require a Fortitude save by any opponent whom he has scored a critical hit against, or the opponent falls unconscious for 1d6+5 rounds, respectively. Also included is a 2 page right up of Crawsmasher, a CR 11 Male Half-Orc Rogue 4/Fighter 3/Cudgel Thug 5.
The PDF is laid out in a two columns with dense text in a smallish font with only bold text used to indicate section heads. The PDF has a small line-art header with two swords flanking the product title. The interior art is limited to one well-drawn ? page illustration of the Crawsmasher character, and a few clip-art decorations. The cover is a colorful affair, with the character illustration set against a gold (with lots of gradient goodness) frame with bars for flourishes. The Title text is in gold with some slick gold gradients and a stroke applied to it, with the sub-title in silver gradient goodness. It looks good.
Overall, this is a solid product, providing an interesting focus on a generally shunned weapon, as well as an under-represented Rogue archetype. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in some more brutal thievery in their game, why pick their pockets when you can knock them the hell out and rifle through their pockets at your leisure instead.

Master at Arms: Cudgel Thug is a short 8 page d20 pdf and the eighth product in Blackdirge Publishing's Master at Arms series of products. This series aims to provide players and DMs with prestige classes for the core Fighter class, all focused on using a specific weapon and often relying on history to construct realistic classes. This particular instalment, the Cudgel Thug, focuses on the club as weapon of choice, and on the concept of the thug as a heavy nonlethal bruiser in your game. This product is compatible with the revised core rules.
The product comes as a single pdf file consisting of a front cover with some lovely art by Jesse Mohn, a page detailing the credits, five pages of content and finally the OGL declarations. As part of a series, this product contains a similar style and layout to other products in the series. Layout and overall look of the product is good, very good if you consider the fact that it is such a short pdf. Editing and writing is good as well, and the mechanics is solid across the whole product. Some useful bookmarks are missing, but that's not such a big deal considering the length of the product. Overall, another good presentation job from Blackdirge Publishing.
Master at Arms: Cudgel Thug focuses on the club as its weapon of choice. The club is frequently not a weapon wielded by many PCs, and this product aims to redress that imbalance by providing a more flavorful detailing of the historical use of the weapon, and a prestige class that gives the weapon a proper place in the game. The product starts by providing a brief historical overview of the club, and its development through the ages to more sophisticated and advanced weapons such as the mace, even touching on the boomerang as a version of a 'thrown club'. Next the author details the prestige class, the Cudgel Thug, and provides some useful design notes that give some insight into the nature and rationalisation behind the prestige class' abilities.
The cudgel thug itself is a club-wielding bruiser, a thug that specialises in striking hard and quick, combining aspects of the rogue and fighter classes to create a remorseless thug. A brief overview of the class is provided, followed by the details of this five level prestige class. The prestige class gains a number of known abilities, such as sneak attack, but also a number of new and unique abilities that play to the class' strengths. These include the ability to knock foes unconscious or render them helpless, the use of improvised weapons, and special abilities that make the class a master a dealing nonlethal damage. The class maintains good balance and has enough flavor to make it interesting. It plays well to the strengths of the club as a weapon, and succeeds at presenting a class for creating that uncompromising thug in your game. Both player characters and NPCs will find good use for this class.
The pdf next details a new NPC, Crawsmasher, complete with mechanical statistics and an interesting background. This is a CR 11 NPC based on the cudgel thug prestige class, and illustrates nicely the strengths and concepts behind the class. Lastly, the pdf presents two new club-like weapons, the rungu, a throwing club, and the more familiar shillelagh. Both are extensions of the club that will be useful additions to any game.
Master at Arms: Cudgel Thug is another good pdf in the Master at Arms series. It provides a flavorful approach to the club as a weapon, highlighting its usefulness and areas of use. The Cudgel Thug is a decent prestige class with some interesting abilities, and is well designed around the concept of a brutal and quick bruiser. I generally found all the information in this pdf very applicable to any d20 gaming world, and it has a high utility for both players and DMs. Overall, another good product from Blackdirge Publishing.

LIKED: High utility of the material, good balance, good design of the product and the prestige class, and some interesting material in the cudgel thug prestige class.

DISLIKED: Nothing much. Generally a solid product.
