We love interdisciplinary work that helps create a sense of community among hackers, especially those with different backgrounds. One successful project created last year was Birdsong, a twitter bot that analyzes the feel of a haiku and plays an algorithmically generated tune to match it. It was created by students from Northeastern, Berklee and UMass Amherst!
Last year, our 130 attendees came from schools all over the Boston area, including Northeastern, Boston University, Harvard, UMass Boston, Colby College and more. With a wide variety of majors such as computer science, audio technology, psychology, political science, and more, we love seeing what happens when we invent together.
At HackBeanpot we encourage trying something new! Mentors from various companies are here to guide hackers as they try new technologies. There's also a wide variety of tech talks put on throughout the weekend. Previous tech talks included topics such as ReactJS and designing great user interfaces.
While hackers do have a limited time to work on projects, we also like to relax and have fun. Last year during HackBeanpot 2017, we held the first ever Water Olympics, a flavored water testing competition! We also have had unconventional prize categories such as Most Fun and Least Likely To Make Money, so don't fret about being the most technically advanced project.
We have seen some really unique projects in the past. Some highlights of HackBeanpot 2017 include Secure Stash, a pill/liquor cabinet that uses facial recognition to prevent the abuse of drugs and alcohol, and Infinity Warp Drive, a solution to get free unlimited cloud storage. Check them and other past projects here!
HackBeanpot's name was inspired by Boston's Beanpot college hockey tournament that happens around the same time of year. With sponsors consisting of local tech companies, such as Genuine, our host for 2018, and other local businesses, we love celebrating Boston culture.
A hackathon is an event where people come together to work collaboratively to create and develop tech projects. Attending a hackathon is a great way to meet and work with new people, come up with exciting ideas, and learn interesting and relevant technologies.
Our next event is February 9-11th, 2018, and will be hosted by Genuine!
Unfortunately, tickets for HackBeanpot 2018 are sold out. Sign up for our mailing list above if you would like more information about future HackBeanpots!
In the past, there have been about 100-130 attendees. This year we are looking to expand to around 200 attendees.
Yes! People with all levels of experience attend HackBeanpot. If you get stuck, we have mentors to provide assistance. We care much more about fostering an environment where you can have fun and learn, than making an environment that only attracts an elite group of hackers. You can check out some of our old blog posts for some advice for first time hackers here and here.
Mentors will be available throughout the hackathon to help teams with their projects. They can help you fix bugs, work with APIs, and use other tools, but they cannot write any code for you.
You can make anything you want, as long as it follows our Code of Conduct! This is a great place to learn new things, or show off your existing skills to build something equally as awesome. If you're looking for inspiration, some companies will also offer prompts and themes during the event. You can also check out what hackers have developed in previous years.
Yes! HackBeanpot Inc. is not affiliated with any university, and the event is open to everyone who is at least 16 years old. This also includes grad students! If you will be under 18 at the start of the event, please contact us at [email protected] to fill out extra paperwork before the event.
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide travel reimbursements.
If you want to, sure! Better yet, you can also upload your resume here, and we'll pass it along to our sponsoring companies. This way you can focus on building cool things instead of getting your resume to the recruiters present at the event.
No, there aren't. You can work with whoever you want. We suggest team sizes of 3–4 purely because those are easier to work with. Just keep in mind that prizes are generally budgeted for teams of 5 and under, but if you want to work with a larger group we're not going to stop you.
Nobody will actively stop you, however this is not what HackBeanpot is about. We want you to learn something new, write code quickly, and break a lot of things (preferably code things, not physical things). Working on an existing piece is fine, but it won't win you any prizes.
All meals are taken care of by HackBeanpot, along with some snacks sprinkled in throughout the weekend. We make sure that everyone has something to eat, no matter what. Just make sure to note your dietary restriction when registering. If we don't know about your restriction, we can't guarantee it'll be accommodated.
Since HackBeanpot 2018 is an overnight hackathon, some standard items are your laptop, phone, their chargers, a toothbrush, and any other things you need to be a functional human for the three days of the event. This blog post has a more comprehensive list of what to bring to HackBeanpot 2018!

sparge was our Word of the Day on 08/08/2009. Hear the podcast!
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Where Did sparge Come From?
Etymologists think that "sparge" likely came to English by way of the Middle French word espargier, itself from Latin spargere, meaning "to scatter." ("Spargere" is also the source of "disperse," "intersperse," and "sparse," among others.) Although "sparge" has been a synonym for "sprinkle" since the late 16th century, you're now most likely to come across this word in one of two contexts. The first is a process called "air sparging," in which air is injected into groundwater to help remediate contamination. The second is the process of beer making, during which mash is sparged - that is, sprayed with hot water to extract the wort. In The New World Guide to Beer, author Michael Jackson describes the process by which one particular beer is made, saying that "it is brewed only from first running, without sparging...."

Lyndie Greenwood is a Canadaian television and film actress. She is best known for both her roles as Sonya on The CW's "Nikita" and Jenny Mill's on FOX's "Sleepy Hollow."
Lyndie Greenwood was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on June 6, 1983. As most children who grow up to be actors do, she attended not only several different voice and musical theater schools such as the Professional Actors Lab, Jason Fraser Studios, Etobicoke School of the Arts, and the University Settlement Drama Group, but dance schools as well. However, unlike most aspiring theater actors, Lyndie also took up Kung Fu. Once she finished high school, she went on to the University of Toronto, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 2006.
By 2009, Lyndie had not only managed to nab her first television role on the series "The Listener," but her first feature role on top of it, albeit in a low-budget Canadian film titled "Pinkville." Regardless, she was on her way to the big time, and soon enough, she was landing guest roles on every TV series from "Flashpoint" to "Covert Affairs." However, it wasn't until 2011 that she would finally catch her first big break.
The CW series "Nikita" seemed like a role similar to many of the others Lyndie had played in recent years, only this would be the first that was originally classified as recurring. But sure enough, if you give someone as talented as Lyndie Greenwood multiple episodes to work with, she's going to deliver. Hence, her recurring role in season 2 was turned into a regular role for seasons 3 and 4. Once her recurring role on FOX's "Sleepy Hollow" rolled around the very same year "Nikita" ended, it was simply a matter of lather, rinse, repeat.

Some wonderful Oregonians got my year started by sharing their thoughts about guns and gun ownership in our series Oregonians talk guns. Our state is split evenly between those who own guns and those who do not.
Guns come with story and the discussion of them can get very personal. So I'd like to say thanks to Parley Pearce, Donna Matrazzo, Margaret Neill, Lynne Mintun, Kathy Seater, Trevor LeeJack Francois, Bob Brennan, Brian Jarvis, Gregory Ventana, Bruce Hamilton and Sam Nichols. Collectively, they formed the backbone of our series.
It's a challenge to get folks to talk openly about guns. Toss in a request to publish a picture of them to accompany their words and the bar is even higher. So I tip my hat and say again, thanks for sharing.
More thank you's; this time to a group of ninth-grade girls on the other side of the world. These girls are coming of age during war, living as Syrian refugees in Mafraq, Jordan. Their journey is mortifying. Some live now as orphans, some in refugee camps, others in unfinished apartment buildings.
I met the girls while on assignment for The Oregonian, reporting for two weeks in Lebanon and Jordan with colleague Rich Read about the Syrian refugee crisis.
This was my first trip to the Middle East in about a decade and the girls reminded me that any reporting trip there is likely to be met with about every human emotion that exists; confusion, outrage, joy, seduction, fear and wonderment.
I've kept up with the girls through their teacher, and meeting them remains one of the highlights of my year. I am inspired by their desire to be heard and their resolve, not just to get home but to get home and make a difference.
Other pictures are memorable to me as well. The Portland Thorns winning the inaugural NWSL Championship; Will Johnson's teary eyes after the Timbers were ousted from the Western Conference finals; the bare foot of Yangsi Rinpoche, President and Professor of a tiny Buddhist college in SE Portland that most of us had never heard of until His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama accepted Rinposhe's invitation to come for a visit.
And then there's the picture from just a few nights ago from a basketball game between Oregon and Illinois. A critical basket made by the Fighting Illini had just been disallowed. It was late in the game and the goal tending call might have been the deference. What a great place to be, wrapped up in the emption of a moment.

You Probably Need a Will, So Here's How to Have That Potentially Awkward Conversation with Your Family
Remember, if you die without a will, the state will determine who inherits
The other day Jezebel ran an article asking if the combo pack of Arbor Mist Strawberry White Zin and single-serving of Chips Ahoy! was an even sadder meal than a microwave brownie for one. I was really confused by the question because both of those meals actually sound amazing and I don't even drink Strawberry White Zin unless it's a day that ends in "y."
I was like "They want sad meals? I've GOT sad meals."
I mean, I'm a single chick who lives alone. And while, yes, that gives me the upper hand on never ever having to share, it also lends itself to some depressing scenarios, like the other day when I found myself eating Special K and yogurt and blueberries while watching football. Not nachos. Not chips and dip. Special f-ing K and yogurt. Because that's all I had in the house. (Lest you think it was for something weird like health reasons.)
The fact of the matter is, most of my meals are probably what the general population would categorize as "sad," if not all out "pathetic." But don't worry. I've got so many excuses as to why that is.
Now this is not to say that all of my alone meals are totally depressing. The other night I had chicken liver pate on rustic crackers as my main course. Many nights, what's for dinner is cheese! Some nights it's Goldfish crackers. Or an arugula salad (which is oddly something I get very excited for). And I'll be honest: Once in a while I just have cookies. BECAUSE I CAN.
But that's not the point. The point, my friends, is sad meals that make you even sadder when you remember them. And of those, I have three that are battling out for top spot.
They are:
1. My 1st Meal at Reform School
It was close to 7 p.m. by the time I ate. I'd been whisked away from one school by my mother at 6 a.m., arrived at the reform school after lunch, and spent the next five or six hours figuring out that I now lived in a building with alarms on the doors and wasn't allowed to have shoes because they thought I would "run."
The school was located in a wing of a functioning Holiday Inn (don't ask because there is no rational answer) and so when dinnertime arrived, we walked down a long hallway single-file to the hotel restaurant. Everyone had to sit and be completely quiet in order to have her table called to go up and get food. I knew no one, but some girls who'd been their a while and were in the ass-kissing phase of the program invited me to sit with them.
Finally, when they called our table, I followed the girls to the buffet line, my socked-feet padding along the cold dining room tile, my hair hiding my red-eyes and tear-splotched face from prying eyes. I don't remember what was being served that night; I just remember all I took was a pile of white rice. Your appetite kind of goes when you've just been abandoned at a reform school.
I returned to the table and pushed the rice around my plate while the girls asked me questions I didn't want to answer. Finally, the noise in the dining room grew too loud and the head counselor screamed "QUIET!" We weren't allowed to speak again without risking demerits. I was the only one in the room who felt relief.
2. Thanksgiving My Freshman Year in College
My mom kicked me out of the house six months before I left for NYU, so I wasn't surprised when she didn't offer to fly me home for the Thanksgiving holiday. Nor did I really think twice about it when all of my new friends left one by one until I was one of the only people left in my 700-person dorm.
What I didn't plan for was the fact that eventually I was going to get hungry and had nothing to eat. I was 17 and a half and pretty (very) shy. The idea of going to buy food on Thanksgiving -- of letting other people know I was all alone -- was totally overwhelming. I tried to wait out the hunger, but finally it was too much. I walked to a deli -- not the one I usually went to; I couldn't take the humiliation -- and bought a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and a coke. I ate alone on my bed and then did whippets until I fell asleep.
3. My First Christmas After Graduating College
I started working the Monday after I graduated, but on a 21-year-old-I-don't-quite-get-finances whim, I quit my job as a receptionist right before Christmas. Without actually finding another job first. I had no idea how much I'd miss that $425/week paycheck until it stopped coming in altogether.
At least, I thought, I'd be going home soon and seeing all of my friends in San Francisco. That is until my mother informed me that since I didn't have a job, she wasn't going to pay to fly me home for the holidays. Not because she couldn't afford it, but because I didn't deserve it.
I got a job at Urban Outfitters as a temporary holiday sales girl and worked until midnight on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, I woke up feeling totally alone. It wasn't my first Christmas alone from my family -- I'd already had a few of those -- one in reform school and another in college when my mother didn't invite me on the family trip to Mexico -- but this one is the one I really remember. No one said Merry Christmas to me. Not even the guy who delivered the bacon cheeseburger I ate for Christmas Dinner.
Anyway, enough of this pity (dinner) party because I know I'm not alone in this. We eat 2-3 meals a day. A few of them are bound to be a huge disappointment. What I want to know is: Which meal in your life was the saddest and why? Who were you with? What did you eat? And why do you remember it so well?
As for me… I'm off to order dinner. Anyone want to share some egg rolls?

April 16 is celebrated as National Health Care Decisions Day and, to recognize the importance of making one's health care wishes known, Niagara Hospice will host an advance care planning program. The public is invited at 2 p.m. Tuesday, April 12, to the Niagara Hospice Administrative Building at 4675 Sunset Drive in Lockport for a program that is free and open to the community.
Cheryl Ferguson, BSW, MSW, Niagara Hospice medical social worker, will explain health care proxies (HCP), living wills, do not resuscitate (DNR) and medical orders for life-sustaining treatment (MOLST).
"As a result of National Health Care Decisions Day, many more people in our community can be expected to have thoughtful conversations about their health care decisions and complete reliable advance directives to make their wishes known," Ferguson said. "Fewer families and health care providers will have to struggle with making difficult health care decisions in the absence of guidance from the patient, and health care providers and facilities will be better equipped to address advance health care planning issues before a crisis, and be better able to honor patient wishes when the time comes to do so."
Free forms and light refreshments will be available. Call 716-280-0742 by April 11 to register. For more information, visit the event calendar page at www.NiagaraHospice.org. For more information about National Health Care Decision Day, visit www.nationalhealthcaredecisionsday.org.
Niagara Hospice has provided end-of-life comfort, care and support since 1988 to over 25,000 Niagara County individuals and families faced with terminal illness. No one is ever denied hospice care due to inability to pay. For more information, visit www.NiagaraHospice.org or call 716-HOSPICE.

CALCioM: Mitigating I/O Interference in HPC Systems through Cross-Application Coordination

Unmatched computation and storage performance in new HPC systems have led to a plethora of I/O optimizations ranging from application-side collective I/O to network and disk-level request scheduling on the file system side. As we deal with ever larger machines, the interference produced by multiple applications accessing a shared parallel file system in a concurrent manner becomes a major problem. Interference often breaks single-application I/O optimizations, dramatically degrading application I/O performance and, as a result, low- ering machine wide efficiency.
This paper focuses on CALCioM, a framework that aims to mitigate I/O interference through the dynamic selection of appropriate scheduling policies. CALCioM allows several applications running on a supercomputer to communicate and coordinate their I/O strategy in order to avoid interfering with one another. In this work, we examine four I/O strategies that can be accommodated in this framework: serializing, interrupting, interfering and coordinating. Experiments on Argonne's BG/P Surveyor machine and on several clusters of the French Grid'5000 show how CALCioM can be used to efficiently and transparently improve the scheduling strategy between two otherwise interfering applications, given specified metrics of machine wide efficiency.

In a large pot bring salted water to a boil and blanch the asparagus by placing them in boiling salted water for 1 minute, and immediately shocking them in a bowl of ice water (an ice water bath.) Trim the very bottom of the asparagus and discard. Cut off the top 2 inches of the asparagus and set aside for garnish. Finely chop the remaining asparagus. In a medium bowl, combine the asparagus with the mayonnaise, mustard, tomatoes, lemon zest and lemon juice. Gently fold the crabmeat into the asparagus mixture and season to taste with lemon pepper and House Seasoning. Using the extra lemon juice wet the rim of the martini glass and dip it into the crab boil seasoning. Put the crab mixture into the prepared glass and serve with the asparagus tops, lemon wedges, and olives as garnish.
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

The Betel Tradition
Through November 30th, 2005
The custom of betel-chewing is the most important single cultural phenomenon that extends across a large body of peoples who differ widely in race, language and religion. It was, and still is, endemic throughout the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia and large parts of the Western Pacific.
Archaeological work on prehistoric sites yielded piper seeds (probably piper betel) in the Spirit Cave in Northwest Thailand that is dateable to between 5500 and 7000 BC. A male skeleton with betel stained teeth, dating from 2680 BC. was found in the Duyong Cave in the Philippines. These and other similar discoveries indicate that betel originated in Southeast Asia and then spread westward. Betel chewing has already been a common practice among the Southeast Asian social elite when it first appears in the literature of India around the first centuries AD.
To western visitors, the betel chewing which comprises the continual spitting, the hawking noise made by the spitters, and the black betel-stained teeth grinning from blood-red mouths appears to be an unattractive practice. However, preparation of betel was once one of the courtly accomplishments of Asia, essential for any woman of breeding or with social ambitions. Betel is served in a quid. The three chief ingredients are betel leaf, lime paste and areca nut. To prepare the quid, the leaf is smeared with lime paste, thin slices of areca nut are placed in the middle, and the leaf is folded or wrapped around them and sometimes fastened with a clove. Besides areca nut meat, tobacco, saffron, cardamom, nutmeg and other spices may be added. The more exotic and the greater the number of ingredients indicate the higher the hosts prestige.

The Department of Health and Human Services has published a 120-page proposed rule dated Dec. 27, 2013 (Vol. 78, No. 249). Within the proposed rule on pages 79173-4 at Section 482.15(e) "Generator Testing," the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has proposed a 4-hr generator test be performed EVERY 12 months. There is no mention of a minimum percentage of nameplate rating, minimum exhaust temperature, or a requirement that all automated transfer switches be transferred during the test.
Not only does the proposed rule apply to 4,982 hospitals across the country, but it also applies to 15,157 long-term care (LTC) and 1,322 critical access hospital (CAH) facilities. But the cited economic impact is flawed in each case.
- In each case, 72 gal per hr, per facility is used for assumed fuel consumption. This equates to an approximate 960kW generator load per facility.
- Six man-hours are used for the amount of time it would take to conduct the annual test (supporting clinical and facility staff time not included).
- The figures used for economic impact, not including the "Information Collection Requirements (ICR) burden," are underestimated by 45% even using CMS figures. Math error.
The proposed rule flies in the face of established NFPA 99 and 110 standards for triennial tests, as well as those published by accreditation organizations. The triennial 4-hour test has been tried and proven; plus, there has been no empirical evidence that more frequent tests are necessary.
MGI maintains this is total overkill without basis, and the interpolated $68,000,000 annual expenditure, not counting the "ICR burden," could be used for loftier purposes…like breaking even at year-end.
The comment period ends at 5 p.m. on Feb. 25, 2014. There are four ways to submit your opinions (see page 79082). Download a copy of the proposed rule or access the forms directly to submit a comment.
It might sound odd, but I have advocated that an annual 24-hr generator test could uncover issues that would not have been discovered in a monthly 30-min. test. My background of more than 40 years testing and maintaining 10,000+ generators and EPSSs in health care facilities and data centers have made me a believer that a "well-tested EPSS is a healthy EPSS." The question becomes, "what is the minimum time — and frequency — an EPSS should be exercised to guarantee reliability?" I submit that the answer is not universal and that different combinations of EPSS components dictate the protocol — one size does not fit all.
The members of the NFPA 110 Technical Committee spent several hours interviewing service companies and manufacturers before crafting the triennial test of 4 hr at 30% of nameplate rating, and transferring of all automatic transfer switches (ATSs). I think the CMS should accept the fact, notwithstanding any empirical evidence to the contrary, that these figures are sufficient. I sincerely believe the CMS didn't interview the proper individuals before drafting their proposal.
If a facility has been performing annual tests for extended periods, then the proposed rule shouldn't have any effect on them.
To measure the economic impact on individual budgets, you only have to multiple the measured kW load of each generator x .075 x the cost of a gallon of diesel x 4 hr. Add to that your estimated labor costs, and then multiple both totals by two additional years.
In Houston — and other areas — there are environmental issues, plus heavy fines, to consider. Demand response (DR) events and running EPSSs during emergencies should be taken into consideration in any final rule.
The CMS needs input from the "governed" and the manufacturers.
Chisholm, president of MGI Consulting, Orlando, Fla., has provided emergency power supply systems (EPSS) consulting services and education to more than 1,500 health care facilities. He serves as a member of the National Fire Protection Association's Technical Committee responsible for NFPA 110, Emergency and Standby Power Systems and the Electrical Section of NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities. He also serves as a primary emergency power consultant to the U.S. Army Medical Department (AMEDD) and the Department of Defense.

Sutton in the hunt at Herald Sun Tour
Monday, October 12, 2009
Garmin-Slipstream's Chris Sutton
narrowly missed victory at Stage 1 of the
Jayco Herald Sun Tour
in his home nation on Monday. The Aussie finished second, edged out at the line by Estonian Jaan Kirsipuu, a four-time stage winner at the Tour de France.
Sutton also finished second in Sunday's prologue circuit stage and now sits third overall in the seven-day stage race.
Monday's 149km stage in Ballarat, Australia, turned out to be pivotal when a split in the field put all but the top 41 riders out of contention for the overall. The gap between the front group and everyone else ballooned to more than 18 minutes by the finish, and diligent work by the Garmin-Slipstream squad—including
fourth place Tour de France finisher Bradley Wiggins
—put all but one in the front group of contenders. Six of seven Garmin-Slipstream riders made the front group.
"Once the group was established, we just kind of rolled through most of the day," Wiggins told VeloNews.com. "It was so windy towards the end it was very difficult for lone riders or breaks to go. We had six guys, which made it easy to control."

Kim what animal are you?
You know, I can't decide. I'm ever evolving:) Kangaroo, ostrich, fox. Maybe I need an animal expert to tell me!
What are some of the funny quirky things you did with your castmates to pass the time?
We did a "sound orchestra" where everyone makes a different sound at the same time, and I was always.. "boing...... boing...." It was funny at the time. Chelsea and I just got a kick out of laughing at everyone else:)
What are some of your favorite moments from the show that didn't make the edit?
Chelsea and I started this "There's that one" thing, that always cracked me up. You can hear her say it right as we are getting back from voting out Tarzan.
Getting to really know everyone was awesome, and we never see any of that. We would lay around for hours laughing, crying, and giving advice to each other about jobs, friends, and men. It's what made us all so tight!
Did it take a long time for you and Kat to make up and be great friends?
Not really, We hugged it out that night when I got back to Ponderosa, I really do love Kat.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Si. His nickname is Abs.
What is your College degree in?
Communication. My favorite subject was Non-Verbal communication;)
What was your hardest day on the island?
The days the balls dropped, ha! That was my hardest physical day. I always felt like my body turned a corner after that day, but I remember thinking I might fall down.
You mentioned wanting to take some trips. What are some of the places at the top of your list?
Costa Rica, I've been wanting to surf... Paris (I've never been), and I'm just looking forward to going some places in the good old US I've never been (Laguna, Chicago, Scotsdale... just to see friends)!
I love your style! Where do you primarily shop for clothes?
Hmmm, everywhere. Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, J Crew, I like to be comfortable:)
Which challenge was the toughest physically?
Pizza day, that digging deal. It lasted like 6 hours!
Would you ever team up with Chelsea to do the Amazing Race?
Hell yes. I'm working on that ;)
Annnnnd....a few of Kim's favorite things!
Colors: taupe or blue (depends on what)
Scents: citrus
Flowers: peonies
Board Games: malarky:) jk, ummm settlers of Catan
Video Games: the trampoline on the Wii Olympics... I get a perfect score everytime.
Sports to Play: Sand Volleyball, Ultimate Frisbee, Softball (the adult kind that involves good friends and Miller Light.)
Sports Teams: For baseball that changes every time my good friends get traded to another team, Football: Wherever my dad is coaching at the time... I guess I follow people more than teams?
Outdoor Activities: Rafting, Camping, Fishing (well, drinking either coffee or beer (depending on the time of day) while watching other people fish).
TV Shows: Survivor, Lie to me, Bachelor (embarrassing, but true.), Dancing with the Stars, America's funniest home videos
Movies: Tombstone, Lonesome Dove, Romy and Michelle's High school reunion, Clifford, X- men.
Music: Ray Lamontagne, Keb Mo, Avett Brothers, I get tired of music really fast and have to switch it up!

whatever, I'm not picky:)
Books/Authors: C.S. Lewis, Barabara Kingsolver (the Poisonwood Bible in particular)

Build an economical sawhorse for $6 and minimal effort. (See the sawhorse diagram and photo in the image gallery.)
Though the traditional sawhorse is a staple of every construction site, there's always room for improvement . . . and if a wobbly workstand and an unwieldy 2 by 4 ever combined to give you an unkind cut, you might be interested in knocking together our "foolproof" framing horse.
Take a look at the design. The longitudinal trough at the top is sized to accommodate a 2 by 4 of any length, and prevents it from skewing under pressure from the saw. The crosswise channel near the center of the horse lets the blade pass through the work freely, and the flush, 1 foot by 3 foot surface serves as a compact bench for hammering or measuring.
Perhaps best of all is the fact that the whole project can be put together from three 8-foot 2 by 4s and a scrap of 1 by 4, at a cost roughly equivalent to that of just one pair of conventional sawhorse brackets. Nearly as tempting, it'll require only a handsaw, a hammer, and a tape measure to build.
The first step is to cut the 2 by 4s, using the illustration as a guide. Pay particular attention to the 10-1/4 inch crosspieces at the top, as they must be trimmed at a slight angle to butt squarely against the splayed legs. Likewise, when cutting the 1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch corner notches in the 14 inch and 19 inch platform boards, use that same angle to assure a good fit. The 36 inch brace rails should also be notched slightly at their upper corners for the same reason; a 1/4 inch indentation measured at the surface will suffice.
Next, using 8-penny common nails, fasten the legs to the sides of the brace rails at the notches. There should be 3 inches of 2 by 4 protruding beyond the upper surface of the rails, and the legs ought to join those bars perpendicularly. Once that's done, you can connect the two halves of the horse by nailing the two 10-1/4 inch cross braces between the ends, and the 10-3/4 inch struts near the center . . . one 14 inch from one end, and the other 19 inch from the other, leaving a 3 inch space between.
Finish up by laying the platform boards over the cross braces and nailing them down (make sure a sample 2 by 4 slips between them). Drive a few more fasteners through the sides of the legs and into the ends of the short braces and the edges of the corner notches, then lock the whole shebang up tight by cutting your scrap of 1 by 4 into two 16 inch lengths and tacking each one between the outer edges of each leg set, about 6" up from the bottom. Finally, check the joints and trim any protruding corners with the handsaw to make sure they're flush.
At first, you'll probably be taken with the fact that this cutting bench makes stud trimming a breeze, because the lumber stays where you put it and the blade doesn't tend to bind. But after a while, you'll begin to realize that it works with shorter boards as well, and gives you the option of using a circular saw in the center or a handsaw at the ends. Then too, it could be lengthened if necessary to provide additional support for even longer pieces.
Any way you cut it, it'd be hard to beat this pony for the price . . . especially when you consider that one does the work of two.
35 years as journeyman carpenter has taught me many things but foremost is most sawhorses laymen build are way to heavy 'n lack versatility. For sawing, one level scaffolding, or bucking a door (installing butt hinges), nothing beats a woodbutcher sawhorse: made using 42" of 2x4, 'n 20' of 1x4s. First make a pair of upside down tees from two 8.5" long 2x4s with 15-deg bevel (inward facing). Then in the center of each base, fasten two 12" 2x4 uprights. Now cut 1x4s to make four 24" legs and three 48" cross pieces. Mark 3.5" back (opposite ends) on two cross pieces, position face side of each fabbed tee (inside of these marks), flush with top 2x4 'n nail in place at both places. Flip over 'n attach other cross piece in same manner. Now, place leg butted under cross piece with portion atop beveled tee member 'n nail. Repeat until all legs are attached. Nail final cross piece on one side of horse where tee base is, to give sawhorse rigidity 'n serve as step up when scaffold boards are being used. To buck a door set edge of door in the gap betw top cross members (outer end of horse) 'n using a shim, secure it in place or widen gap as needed. Make two sawhorses, which are lightweight, stackable, 'n inexpensive..!!
Any update on the original sawhorse is good. For some 30 years I have used a variation of it by adding a table top made with two 2 x 12s. Cut two end supports about 24 inches long of 2 x 4 and attach them to the ends of the saw horse. Nail the 2 x 12s {Any combination of 2" lumber can be used to make the tabletop} to the supports and leave a 4-6 inch space between them. Now, you can cut anything, including sheeting with ONE sawtable. Add cross bracing on the legs for further sturdiness.
When I make it, I will basically use their idea but make the opening for a 2X8 and have blocks of wood that I can put in opening to bring it down to other sizes such as 2X6, 2X4 etc. More versatile that way.
Please let me know where to find plans or drawings for the $6 sawhorse. It's not in the article.
Click the "Image Gallery" link in the "Article Tools" box for a detailed measured drawing.
The plan is picture 3 in the image gallery: http://www.motherearthnews.com/multimedia/image-gallery.aspx?id=70064&seq=2 Also, it would be easy to convert this into a workbench by adding a piece of plywood with a 2x4 underneath.
Yes please let us know where to find plans or drawings for the $6 sawhorse. It's not in the article.
The measured drawing for that $6 sawhorse never showed up in the actual article, just in a blurry way in the emailed teaser. Is it possible to find the illustration somewhere? I do think I'd like to make this.

Getting ready with my Amazingly Beautiful Bridesmaids!
This is a special blog shout-out posting to my amazing bridesmaids, my day was more wonderful than I expected thanks to all your support and hard work.
My amazing Maid of Honor and sister, Brittany, thank you for all the planning of my bachelorette and bridal shower. They were wonderful and memorable, and credit goes to your party planning skills and I appreciate you being there through this stressful process. You are the worlds most amazing sister and friend.
To my Best Friend, Syringa, you were amazing in stepping up and doing the things I needed done without asking. Helping with my bridal shower, cleaning up the wedding in the pouring rain, and making the most adorable corn hole bags for my wedding day! You are a truly my PIC (partner in crime).
Allison, I am so appreciative for your support and willingness to put up with my constant venting. The validation and understanding I received was so helpful to making this an enjoyable process. Your honesty was refreshing and you sided with me, even when wrong. You were ready to help me with anything from attending flower appointments to spray painting bottles. I am in debt to you for all the amazing things you did to make my day perfect!
Kara, the most beautiful woman and pregnancy suits you. I wasn't the only one glowing on my wedding day. Thank you for all the hard work and and support, when you yourself are going through a monumental time in your life as well. Thank you for contributing to my unique and fun wedding day.
My bridesmaids were so supportive through this whole process! All the days leading up to the wedding were enjoyable and with the help of my bridesmaids, I rarely felt stressed. They provided listening ears when I needed to explore and seek validation.
Below are the getting ready photos and it was a perfect beginning to my day...
Thanks for looking!

Orwellian Quote of the Day
From the government brief arguing that the media and witnesses in the 9/11 trial should not be permitted to hear the defendants describe being tortured by the US government:
"Each of the accused is in the unique position of having had access to classified intelligence sources and methods," the prosecution says in court papers. "The government, like the defense, must protect that classified information from disclosure."
The government is right about one thing — the 9/11 defendants are indeed in a "unique position" to know how the government tortures people. That's what happens when you're the victims of said torture. Something tells me, though, that the defendants would've been more than happy not to have had "access" to those interrogation techniques…
7 Responses
Maybe the defendants can be tried for spying on the secret interrogation methods.
I like it! But don't give the government any ideas.
And they could certainly be charged with aiding the enemy if they were ever allowed to discuss what happened to them.
==And they could certainly be charged with aiding the enemy if they were ever allowed to discuss what happened to them.==
That's why they should never be released.
In Al-Skeini v. UK the UK argued that respecting the European human rights convention in Iraq amounted to human rights imperialism:
"Further, if the Court were to hold that contracting states are obliged to secure Convention rights in territories where the Convention does not already apply, and over which they exercise temporary but effective control, this would risk requiring the state to impose culturally alien standards in relation to the governance of the territory, in violation of the principle of sovereign self-determination." And quoted approvingly from the British judges: "[T]he [European] court would run the risk not only of colliding with the jurisdiction of other human rights bodies but of being accused of human rights imperialism."
Imagine fourteen year smart Iraqi girl in an encounter with a British soldier, pulling her iPad, surfing to the European Court site, and saying:
– Mister soldier, according to the convention you would violate my human rights if you raped me.
Soldier: Applying the convention in Iraq would be imposing you culturally alien standards in violation of the principle of sovereign self-determination. The whole world would accuse us of human rights imperialism.
European decision does not make legal sense. The CAT committee and the H.R. Comm. under the ICCPR have both recognized an "effective control" test — that persons protected are those in one's territory, territory that one occupies, and those elsewhere who are under one's effective control (e.g., any detainee of any status).
Moreover, Articles 55(c) and 56 of the U.N. Charter (which trump inconsistent European treaty law under U.N. art. 103) apply in all social contexts and require "universal" respect for and observance of human rights.
I don't think that any of you disagree — but the UK judges? What were they on?
The court did not buy the British argument, but that's something new, because the European convention did not go outside Europe before in cases of military occupation. Before Al-Skeini the court accepted effective control over an area as meaning ships, aircrafts, prisons, embassies etc. And in cases of state agent authority and control over the individual, for instance someone arrested. Not if the person was shot from 100m away. What was new in Al-Skeini was a 'jurisdictional link' arising from military occupation. The court said inpara.149that "the United Kingdom (together with the United States) assumed in Iraq the exercise of some of the public powers normally to be exercised by a sovereign government. In particular, the United Kingdom assumed authority and responsibility for the maintenance of security in South East Iraq. In these exceptional circumstances, the Court considers that the United Kingdom, through its soldiers engaged in security operations in Basrah during the period in question, exercised authority and control over individuals killed in the course of such security operations, so as to establish a jurisdictional link between the deceased and the United Kingdom"

Nintendo's adorable yet hard-to-find Classic Mini NES has one major downside: it's those short controller cables. Fortunately, third-party companies are solving the problem: longer controller cables and wireless controller receivers.
Based on the fans and experts' reviews, the new Nintendo Classic console has a very short controller that forces players to get up close and personal with the television. It makes playing the video game console 'less enjoyable.'
A Metro UK review on Nintendo Classic Mini NES goes, "The more serious problem is also cable-related, with the controller (there's only one, so you have to buy another, or use a Wii Classic Controller, if you want any two-player action) being connected to the console by a cable that's barely 70cm long."
ALSO READ: Nintendo Mini NES: New games update; Console to get killed?
The NES30 Retro Receiver
Thankfully, third-party companies offered to solve the problem. One such solution comes from 8Bitdo. The company released recently a new version of its Retro Receiver that works perfectly with the NES Classic. The package includes the company's NES30 wireless controller aside from the aforementioned Retro Receiver.
According to Engadget, the Retro Receiver is visually similar to NES Classic controller. The only difference is that it has four buttons on its face instead of the traditional two. Additionally, the Bluetooth-enabled Retro Receiver lets the players use many other controllers with the NES Classic. That includes PS3, PS4 and many other Bluetooth controller available.
ALSO READ: Sega to launch updated mini Mega Drive Classic Game Console
Nyko's Miniboss
Another solution comes from Nyko's Miniboss wireless controller. This one looks like the NES controller but with a small adaptor. It provides wireless play of up to thirty feet. The company also produces the Extend Link, a 6-foot long cord with the right port on each end.
While these controllers remove a bit of that "classic" experience from using Nintendo's mini console, they will make players play the NES Classic more comfortable and enjoyable. However, the price alone will be a major buzzkill. The NES30 Retro Receiver bundle costs $39.99 while the Nyko's Miniboss costs $35.
In the meantime, players can buy 10 ft extension cables for the NES Classic Edition at Amazon for $10. Also GameStop offers 6 feet NES ExtendLink Extension Cable for NES Classic Edition for the same $10.

Vision and Mission
Our vision is of a world where the human rights framework reflects the real world experiences of all of us, effectively furthering social and economic justice and human dignity, and catalyzing change from the local to the global, back to the local.
To realize this vision, our role is one of catalyzing social change through leveraging of strategic spaces. This is work that we undertake in close partnership with local partners and advocates from around the world; what we like to call "making the UN work for the poor," although it also encompasses strategic spaces beyond the UN.
GI-ESCR believes that reaching that next, needed scale of impact requires both the amplification of voices of local advocates by leveraging international law and mechanisms – and informing the content, meaning, and interpretation of international human rights law from the perspectives of marginalized groups and communities. It is no longer enough to think globally and act locally; GI-ESCR works with partners to think and act, globally and locally, where work at one level is enriched by, and strengthens and supports the other. Indeed, the complex problems and issues of our day require thinking and acting across boundaries, sectors, disciplines and fields. If we have learned anything over the decades, it is that certainly people themselves affected by rights violations should be engaged in designing the solutions to those violations.
The mission of the GI-ESCR is to:
Strengthen the international human rights framework through creative standard setting, so that the framework reflects the experiences, needs and aspirations of marginalized individuals, groups and communities.
Partner with advocates, social movements and grassroots communities at national and local levels to more effectively claim and enforce ESC rights, including by engaging international mechanisms for local impact.
Contribute to the effective implementation of ESC rights, so that everyone is able to fully enjoy their ESC rights in practice, and are able to do so without discrimination and on the basis of equality.
Provide innovative tools to policy makers, development actors and others on the practical implementation and realization of ESC rights.
Enforce ESC rights through international, regional and national mechanisms and seek remedies for violations of these rights, with a focus on creating beneficial jurisprudence aimed at transformative change.
Engage networks of human rights, women's rights, environmental and development organizations and agencies to advance the sustainable enjoyment of ESC rights at both national and international levels.

Former child star Melissa Gilbert has offered fellow red-head Lindsay Lohan sanctuary at her home as the Mean Girls star fights another drama following an alleged hit-and-run incident in New York.
The former Little House on the Prairie star insists she's one of the few people who can appreciate what Lohan is going through as she transitions from child star to movie actress - and she wants to help.
Gilbert, a two-term president of the Screen Actors Guild, tells U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight, "I want to sort of pick her up and take her to my house and have her live with me for three months... (I'd say) 'I was you; I've been there. Let's fix this now'.
"I get very upset and protective (towards Lohan)."
Lohan has been in and out of trouble in recent years, leading to spells in jail and in rehab.
Police are currently investigating reports suggesting she hit a man while attempting to gain entrance to an underground parking garage.
The actress has been caught up in a few car-related dramas in recent months and she totalled her sportscar in Los Angeles earlier this summer (12) when she was involved in an accident on the Pacific Coast Highway.

Today, I just finished reading the very interesting Nihilist Communism. In what I see as the major text of the book, which comes at its end (it begins, after a 2009 introduction by Frere Dupont–the one of the book's two authors who did not completely abandon politics in the wake of their project–with an edited set of letters between the two authors, and follows with a collection of various articles and interventions the pair produced), "Cruelty, or, the Inclusion of the Distributive Sphere," the author(s) engage in a very pointed analysis of the movements of the Seventies. (This period of time has been the subject of a remarkable amount of analysis in the decades since; it's hard not to conclude that, despite the mutually-exclusive nature of many of these analyses, they all refer to something real. In Lacanese, they are so many Imaginary narratives trying to make sense of the injunction of a Real trauma into the Symbolic order of everyday life. Consider: postmodernity, de-industrialization/post-industrial society, Autonomia's (in)famous notion of "immaterial labor" or what Hardt & Negri will later re-name "biopolitical production", the communisateurs' narrative of the "death of programmatism", etc…) On a certain level, the thrust of Monsieur Dupont's analysis touches on recurring theme of capitalist civil society: the relation between the individual and society in terms of "normality" or "normalcy." Here, I will simply lay out some rough thoughts in my preferred form of a dialectical quartet.

Slang Tang Podcast – Fever Ray Interview
Following the release of their critically acclaimed and award-winning album 'Silent Shout', Swedish dark-electro duo The Knife took time out to pursue their own individual projects. Olaf Dreijer worked on an original soundtrack for the opera 'Tommorow In A Year' by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma. His sister, Karin Dreijer Andersson, instead opted for a solo album, under the name Fever Ray. Whilst occupying similar sonic territories to The Knife, 'Fever Ray' introduced a personal and intimate side to Karin that was hitherto unseen.
In this Interview Edition of the Slang Tang podcast series, I talked to Karin about the Fever Ray project. Over the phone from her home in Sweden, Karin discusses the genesis of the project, her continuing exploration of electronic music and the impact of motherhood on her creative work.

Blind Eye Books, $14.95, ISBN 978-0-9789861-7-9
Fantasy, 2010
Lord of the White Hell II is the second book in a two-part series. You don't think the II in the title is for show, do you? It goes without saying that you should read these books in order. Even if you insist on being stubborn, do read my review of the first book first to get the background details of this series. I should also point out that this review could very well contain spoilers for the first book, so read this review at your own risk.
Now, we move to the second half of the school year at the Sagrada Academy. If you have read the first book, you will know that Kiram is now positively sure that he doesn't like girls (girls have cooties and are disgusting) and that he and Javier have a spat that see them temporarily estranged when this book begins. The whole white hell thing rears its ugly head again as our lovers move toward the inevitable reunion and… oh, I give up. It's hard to give this story a compelling synopsis that isn't a repeat of the synopsis of book one because this is where Lord of the White Hell II becomes surreal. The author has tossed aside much of the plot build-up in the previous book, so much so that this book pretty much becomes another retread of the previous book. Kiram and Javier reconnect again, Kiram goes through the same old mental angst about the differences between them again, and while the white hell thing becomes clearer here, the events surrounding the curse feel familiar. Secondary characters built up in the previous book take the back seat here, making me wonder why the author went through the trouble developing those characters in the first place.
It's all so bizarre. Any character growth the boys experienced in the previous book is reverted to square one here. Even the break-up between Kiram and Javier, depicted in an explosive manner as a cliffhanger ending in the previous book, is resolved in a "So what?" manner. These two rarely interact meaningfully in the first few chapters of this book, and then, oh look, they are doing naughty things again. Even the more action-paced later chapters of this book feel anticlimactic, thanks to the fact that the villain has left every detail of his plan in writing so that Kiram, who exhibits a charming tendency to snoop around people's property when these people are not around, can go, "OMG! I know the plan!" at the most convenient moment.
I don't know what happened between the previous book and this one, but there is no denying that I really enjoyed the first part even as I mostly scratch my head in bewilderment as I turn the pages of this book. Truly, it's disappointing how much of a let down this book is. What happened, Ms Hale? How did we go from that to… this?

Forgotten Book - Man with a Calico Face
Man with a Calico Face is a fairly early book, first published in 1951 and it's hardly ever been mentioned on the internet. I did, however, find a link to a negative contemporary critique in Kirkus Reviews, which moans about the unpleasant nature of the characters. This is a complaint often made about the books of Francis Iles, whom Symons and I both admire, and although there is a grain of truth in the complaint, I think it's overdone in relation to both Iles and Smith. Like Symons, I think that Smith's work occasionally betrays Iles' influence, and that is especially true of the final twist in this novel.
At first, I have to admit, I was underwhelmed by the story. An attractive wife and mother is found dead at the bottom of the stairs. The body is discovered by a young man who has nursed an unrequited passion for her, and her large house is occupied by a number of people who might be described as hangers-on. There is no sign of her husband. How has she come to die? The seasoned mystery reader might have a good idea, but the seasoned mystery reader might well turn out to be wrong, because Smith was a very clever writer
The structure of this novel is extremely interesting. After the set-up section, there is a section which delves into the past, before we come back up to date again. This is the same structure that Henry Wade used in the masterly Lonely Magdalen, and although I don't think this book is as good as that one, it's certainly intriguing, and after a slow start builds to a highly dramatic and ironic climax. And who is "the man with a calico face"? We don't find out for a long time, but the explanation rather pleased me. Not Smith's best book, for sure, but definitely worth a read..

UK ebook publishers Endeavour Press reprinted this one very recently (maybe a month ago) under the very pedestrian title "The Sting of Death."
I didn't altogether love this novel - I believe it's the second by Smith I've read - but I enjoyed it. I didn't find the characters especially unlikable, and in fact I found them compelling to read about. I felt particularly sympathetic towards Linda, whose naivete was very well done, I thought.
The final twist was clever, too. I believe I rated this one 3.75 stars (out of 5) in my journal, which is very solid.

"a negative contemporary critique in Kirkus Reviews, which moans about the unpleasant nature of the characters."
I always wonder about the families, friends and acquaintances who complain about unpleasant characters in books: is everyone they know so pleasant that they can't accept the existence - even fictional - of people who aren't or is everyone they know so unpleasant that they flee to novels for relief?

The book cover art is enticing enough, but your posting/review is icing on the cake. (Forgive the hackneyed trope!) However, I doubt any library or used bookstore over here will have a copy. Still, I have issued myself a BOLO for it. Thanks!

Hi Martin, just wondering which of Shelley Smith's novels would you recommend? I have 'Background for Murder' and 'There is the House' on my Kindle...
- 26 November 2016 at 01:53
- Martin Edwards said...
Anon - I enjoyed your comment; nice point! I appreciate having likeable characters in a novel myself, but the nature of crime fiction is that quite a few of the people need to be unpleasant or potentially so.
- 26 November 2016 at 10:42
- Martin Edwards said...
Tim - I picked up my copy for a couple of quid in a second hand shop, though admittedly that was a while ago. It took me ages to get round to reading it, but I'm glad I did.
- 26 November 2016 at 10:42
- Martin Edwards said...
Jonathan - Come and Be Killed, The Lord Have Mercy, or An Afternoon to Kill
- 26 November 2016 at 10:43
- Jonathan said...
Thanks for the recommendations Martin. Would you say these three titles lean more towards thrillers, or do they operate in the Golden Age mystery vein?
- 26 November 2016 at 12:40
- Martin Edwards said...
The first two are sort of domestic suspense, the third is hard to categorise but excellent. None are thrillers, nor are they typical GA fare
- 26 November 2016 at 17:40
- Clothes In Books said...
I liked An Afternoon to Kill, but have never thought to read more by her - I think I read a Crime Club special anniversary edition. I'll have to see if I can find another.
- 27 November 2016 at 19:38
- Martin Edwards said...
Whilst Afternoon to Kill is my number one Smith book, Moira, all of them are well-written and a bit unusual. She was a class act.
- 27 November 2016 at 23:05
Norman adds..
Smith's The Lord Have Mercy (1956) is listed in The Hundred Best Crime Stories,
published by The Sunday Time in the early 1960s. A well-deserved tribute to a
brilliant writer and an exceptional book.

Room free in BIG flat - 600€ (but worth it!) - 1 M (Frankfurt)
Hey guys,
My boyfriend and I are splitting up and I am moving away. He will keep the flat and has the idea of sharing it with one more person. i know the rent seems high Protected content , but the flat is REALLY nice. it is 110m² in Sachsenhausen, 5 min walk from Südbahnhof and 10 meter (!) walk to S-Bahn "Lokalbahnhof".
It would be available as of beg. MAY !
the flat has:
* a HUGE living room equipped with BIG flatscreen TV, xBox, dining table, 2 couches etc etc...
* 2 Bedrooms, both around 18m² (the room for rent could possibly be partly furnished, we have a bedcouch in here which can stay in there in case someone wants it but does not have furniture to bring)
* an Awesome kitchen!
preferably to let to someone working (also only possible for working people i assume, seeing the rent is rather high), this co-living is a very nice alternative to renting a small flat for the same price on your own.
If you want any additional info, we have an ad out on "wg-gesucht" (text in german, but my BF also speaks fluent english and french), check it out (even if you dont know a word german, there are some pics to see...):
