Once you've decided where to put your bolt, you have to actually physically place and set it. The methods used differ substantially depending on whether you are using hand bolts (spits) or Hilti HKDS's.
Before you actually start drilling, it is wise to flatten the surface of the rock around the bolt site. This allows the hanger to lie flat against the rock. Different types of hanger have different footprints; bollards have almost no footprint at all, rings and bends somewhat more, and twists a great deal. Remember, of course, that the next person who rigs the pitch may well use a different type of hanger from the one you happen to have handy, and that the club only has about ten bollards left! When dressing the rock, use the pointed end of the hammer and tap gently, so as not to crack the rock below the surface.
Old-style hand-drilled spits are self-drilling; the spit sleeve functions both as a drill bit and as an anchor. Screw it firmly onto the driver and tap it gently against the surface of the rock, turning it around slightly between each tap and removing it to blow dust away every half dozen blows or so. (You should also tap the spit itself gently to free dust compacted into it). Once the hole is established you can begin to hit a bit harder, but don't overdo it; the idea is to powder the rock at the point of the spit without setting up cracks through the rest of the rock which will weaken it.
Watch out for the spit cratering; this is when flakes of rock crack away around the rim of the hole. A severely cratered spit is greatly weakened as the end of the sleeve is not supported by the rock. With some types of hanger (bollards and Clowns) it is possible to drive the spit in a bit further into the bottom of the crater, particularly if the rope is thin, but this renders it almost impossible to use other types of hanger with that spit.
There is normally a line around the driver stem around 3mm above the thread; keep drilling until this point is reached. (This typically takes around 15-20 minutes of drilling). Now grab yourself a cone, put it in the end of the spit, and hammer it back into the hole. You can normally detect when it is fully set by a change in the tone of the sound when you hit it; it should rise gradually to a high ring. If the hole is the right depth this will coincide with the spit being flush with the surface. Now you can remove the driver and screw in a hanger, and Bob's your uncle.
Decide where you want your bolt to go.
Before you start drilling, "dress" the rock; that is, hammer away the flaky top surface of the rock and flatten out a small area around where your spit is to go.
Hold the spit driver perpendicular to the rock and start hitting it, gently at first, while rotating it clockwise in between taps.
Make sure the driver is perpendicular to the rock surface.
After every few taps, blow the dust out of the hole.
It also helps to give the driver a tap to remove dust caked up on the end.
When the hole is as deep as the line around the driver shaft (about 3mm beyond the rim of the spit itself), the spit can be set. Take a cone, and fit it into the end of the driver,
like so.
Now hammer it in (without turning it, which would rapidly become impossible) until the spit is flush with the surface.
Finally, squirt a bit of grease into the spit to keep it from corroding. Notice that this spit is rather deep in, and would probably be rather hard to use for a rigging bolt; more dressing would be needed as well. This bolt was actually for the tag on cave 2005-07, and tag bolts clearly needn't be all that strong.
Finished spit.
Since the first cordless hammer drills made an appearance on Expo 1990 thanks to sponsorship from Bosch, drills have been enthusiastically adopted as the best solution for large-scale bolting tasks; some of the fun and games of recent years, like the 21-bolt traverse over Gaffered to the Walls in 2003, would be unthinkable with hand bolts. However, drills are not suited to use with ordinary spits, as the setting process depends critically on the bottom of the hole being flat. It is possible to drill a hole part-way with a power drill and finish it off by hand, but this is tedious.
Hence we have found it easier to use Hilti anchors, which are specifically designed for use in drilled holes.
There are two versions of these bolts, the HKD and the HKDS. The latter are easier to use, as they have a "shoulder" around the top of the bolt which sits against the rock, meaning that the depth of the hole is not important.
To place a HKDS, drill the hole in the obvious manner until it is deep enough for the bolt to sit in without touching the bottom. If in doubt, drill it deep! When the hole is deep enough, grab a setting tool and start bashing it.
Start with very gentle taps. The reason for this is so the shoulder can hold the bolt in position until it begins to grip the sides of the hole; if you start by smashing it with all your might, the shoulder will bend and the bolt will disappear, useless, into the depths of the hole. Once it has some grip you can start hitting a bit harder.
It is very important to hit the Hilti setting tools exactly square, as they are made of very hard steel which is rather brittle and hence it is easy to shear the end off. When the bolt is fully set, you should be able to see marks on the shoulder of the spit from the four little teeth on the collar of the driver; don't worry if you can't see all four setting marks, but aim for two at least - one can easily be a consequence of leaning the driver over too far to one side.
Sometimes, in particularly hard rock, it can be impossible to get the setting marks. Use your judgement; if you're not making any progress despite sustained hammering, it's probably OK to stop!

`Put in a dime, and Helen will tell you more than you want to know,'' Helen Donath says. ``Put in a quarter, and she won't stop talking.''
On this particular afternoon, she's offering at least 50 cents' worth.
The soprano, who stars in Florida Grand Opera's production of Die Fledermaus this month and will sing Strauss' poignant Four Last Songs with the Florida Philharmonic in April, is a self-confessed chatterer.
In her sparkly, blue-silver dress, with a musical-motif scarf around her neck and huge silver rings on her fingers, the round-faced singer sits on a sofa outside the rehearsal room and chats up a storm. She looks, sounds and acts far younger than her 57 years.
Asked her thoughts about taking on the role of Rosalinde in Fledermaus for the first time in a nearly four-decade career, Donath discusses air conditioning (``I'm making my peace with it''), recent deaths of relatives (``My uncle just passed away; he was really more like my father''), and the recent coincidence of a whole family immersed in Mozart simultaneously _ she was singing in a production of Le nozze di Figaro that her husband, Klaus Donath, was conducting, while their son, Alexander, was working as stage director for a production of The Magic Flute at another opera house.
Eventually, Donath nears the topic _ and quickly expands on it.
``When Karl Hesser [Florida Grand Opera's director of artistic administration) said he wanted me to sing Rosalinde, I said really? I hadn't thought about doing it. But it's a cute role _ she's darling _ and she has a lot of fun music. I compare it with Frau Fluth in [Otto Nicolai's) The Merry Wives of Windsor.
``And coming at this point in my life _ after my uncle's death and the death of my brother at 32 a few years ago _ it's a godsend. It's my sixth new opera role in the last few years. And I mean opera. Fledermaus is not operetta, let me tell you. It is not easy to sing.

Gilbert and George
Another perfect canvas for Gilbert and George at the SerpentineDouble bubble for Gilbert as she takes George home
Sat, 29 Jul 2017, Serpentine SC
With swims at Lake Annecy and the River Nene coming up, it seems that everyone this week has to choose sides; it's either Surrey or Middlesex, Charles or Diana, skins or rubber, Annecy or Nene, and on and on.
Saturday was also a day for doubles and pairs, with Gilbert teaming up with George for the second time, and Robin and Rosie doing a post swim double act.
Congratulations to Mary Gilbert, who, for the second time, took home the Laura George Memorial Trophy, for winning the one mile and one metre race, which was presented and sponsored by the eminent swimmer Rosie George. To win a swimming trophy twice is indeed a Serpentine work of art.
To say that Robin didn't have time to mention all of Rosie's achievements might perhaps be why our Club President, who completed an English Channel relay in his early 70's, emailed Rosie's incredible swimming resume to the group. Needless to say, Rosie's achievements are included here below.
Today's race featured many races within races; Jesse Kelly set off as fast as he could, but this being shark week, he had a sticky shadow on his hip for most of the journey in the shape of Nick Adams.
Nick wasn't the only crafty drafter. Volker Koch hitched a ride off my less speedy wings for three laps, and somehow Volker found extra speed from his gearbox to shift away from me on the final lap. Given Volker did all the sighting for me one summer in Dover, then I suppose it's fair. Ros Young swam breastroke on the last lap, and she has an excellent kick, especially while I was coming round the last marker buoy.
Mary eased home, and Nick sailed past Jesse for second and third. After that, I think Fiona Campbell was fourth, but can't be sure. Anyway, it was a fine social swim on sunny day.
Monster congratulations to Phil Hodges, as he smashed a one length swim of Loch Ness (36kms) earlier in the week.
Good luck to those who are travelling next weekend to various swim spots; Sakura will 'do' Zurich (27kms) , a lunch of Serpies will take on Lake Annecy (16kms), and many more will take on the River Nene swim organised by Jeremy and Ingrid Hunter Coddington. The current lumpy weather needs to settle for those awaiting their respective English Channel swims.
Thanks to Ingrid Hunter Coddington, Fiona Campbell and Mike Harris for photos.
Yours swimmingly
John Tierney

[March 22, 1499]
Saint Sebastian: patron hallow of soldiers, steadier of the archer's hand, protector of souls taking their flight to heaven after being parted from their earthly anchors in an honorable Christian death, known best not for his life but for his passing – martyred twice. When being shot full of arrows had not been enough to take his life, it had required a second beating to dispose of him in the vilest of receptacles. And even then, he had returned to the mortal realms as an apparition, unable to rest until his remains were given a proper rite. His resilience gilded him as the idol of Olympians and his adamant refusal to accept death attracted the desperate prayers of Plague victims.
Basch, as one who had been killed in vain by his enemies far too many times to remember, thought it fitting to have been given his sanctified name. How unsatisfying it must have been for his foe to run their blades through him only to meet him in combat the next day. Like the Roman king Diocletian, they must have been equally infuriated and confused to see the flesh alive and well.
And at the same time, there was a bitter irony about the situation. The pseudohuman had left his blood on more swords and pikes than he could remember and still hadn't earned his way into a peaceful afterlife where he could feast with the saints and virgins for ever and ever amen. Instead of respite, each death was followed by a reawakening and another charge into battle, and another death, and more war ad nauseam.
But, Basch considered as he shifted the polearm over his shoulder, he didn't mind the arrangement altogether. The work was hard, but rewarding. The patch of jagged alpine land and the peoples inhabiting it he'd come to consider a family of sorts, and that family had been growing. A handful of peoples living in Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden had formed his nucleus, other cantons joining not long after and even others pledging their eternal loyalty. And although they weren't as unified as some kingdoms surrounding them, Basch had learned that he was connected to all of them in ways he was not yet able to understand. All that mattered at this point was that they were his responsibility, and his to protect.
This latest war provided him with yet another opportunity. Those Habsburg devils had gotten carried away once again, claiming Swiss mountain passes and valleys as their own, leaving the Eidgenosensschaft with no choice but to defend what was rightfully theirs. The feuding was bitter, and the hostilities were bloody, but after several months, the Habsburgs had yet to claim a major victory. They would learn, and the lesson would be severe.
Not more than a few days' march south of Alsatian territory, and loaded down with the spoils of a successful raid, Basch was moving southward in formation with a company of Bernese and Luzerner pikemen when the alert came.
"How many did you see?" Basch demanded of the scout, his mind already beginning to go into the preparations for battle.
"I cannot say precisely," replied the young man in a dialect Basch had only just recently and yet somehow quite thoroughly begun to grasp. "But they numbered in the thousands, I'm certain." A quiet rumbling fell amongst the Swiss troops at the news, the battalion's leaders already debating tactics. A hill, Bruderholz, stood between them and the threefold numerous Swabian soldiers, providing a definite tactical advantage for the side able to capture it first.
A decision was finally passed down, and Basch nodded in agreement, turned to his comrades and announced, "Advance!"

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Football series.
QB: Ben Roethlisberger (PIT, $34)
The reputation of the Jaguars defense will make this look like an oppressive matchup for Big Ben, and that may cause fantasy players to fade him. However, the Jaguars allowed the 23rd most fantasy points to QBs over the last five weeks of the season, and that included 1.8 passing TDs per game. With four excellent weapons in the passing game while playing on their home field, Roethlisberger should be a nice contrarian play.
RB: James White (NE, $12)
Tennessee gave up 73 receiving yards per game to running backs over the last five games of the season, which is by far the worst mark of any team remaining in the playoffs. Although White hasn't been a strong fantasy factor during the season, he was targeted 72 times over 14 games, and nobody exploits a weakness better than the New England coaching staff. Look for White to get plenty of work, which should give him enough upside to be a strong tournament play.
WR: Mohamed Sanu (ATL, $18)
The Eagles are very unlikely to give up very much production on the ground, as their elite front seven should be able to dominate the line of scrimmage. The best way for the Falcons to attack this defense is through the air against a secondary that allowed the 26th most fantasy points to WRs over the last five weeks of the season. Despite the great matchup, look for Philly to sell out to stop Julio Jones, which should open up plenty of space for Sanu over the middle of the field. Also, he'll serve as a great outlet for Matt Ryan when the pass rush begins to close in on him.
Other Against-the-Grainers
QB: Matt Ryan (ATL, $24)
RB: Jerick McKinnon (MIN, $17)
WR: Adam Thielen (MIN, $29)
TE: Austin Hooper (ATL, $15)
DST: Atlanta Falcons ($16)
CASH GAMES (H2H, 50/50s and DOUBLE UPS)
QB: Tom Brady (NE, $41)
Although they were one of the weaker units in the league against the pass for much of the season, the Titans improved to become a middle-of-the-pack unit against QBs over the last five games of the season. Regardless, Alex Smith had no trouble moving the ball up and down the field during the first half, before Travis Kelce was knocked out of the game, last week. With the Titans' secondary being their defensive weakness, Brady should have little trouble identifying mismatches that will allow him to post a strong performance.
RB: Derrick Henry (TEN, $21)
With nobody to steal away carries, Henry's one of the only RBs in the playoffs who's almost a mortal lock to see around 25 touches. Although the Patriots are known to take away one component of the opposing offense, Henry doesn't seem to have earned that type of respect, as he hasn't been a consistent runner on an every-down basis. Given the fact he's handled 54 touches over the last two weeks, he should have enough volume to come through against a defense that's allowed 4.4 yards per carry over their last five games.
WR: Dede Westbrook (JAC, $11)
Even though Blake Bortles has been awful over the last few weeks, Westbrook has been targeted at least seven times in each of the last three games. The good news is that he saw eight targets with Marqise Lee and Allen Hurns in the lineup last week, so it looks that he's become a staple of the team's passing attack. There's nothing scary about his matchup with the Steelers, as they allowed the 16th most fantasy points to WRs over their last five contests.
TE: Rob Gronkowski (NE, $32)
The Titans allowed 115 more yards against tight ends over the last five games of the season than any of the remaining playoff teams, which is the wrong weakness to have against the Pats. With weapons all over the field, Tennessee won't be able to pay too much extra attention to Gronkowski. When facing the Chiefs last week, Travis Kelce skewered this defense before leaving the game with a concussion in the first half. Look for Gronk to smash in the divisional round.
DST: Pittsburgh Steelers ($16)
This defense has been struggling since losing LB Ryan Shazier, and they're simply not a very good unit. However, with the way Blake Bortles has played over the last three weeks, look for the Steelers to stack the box to stop Leonard Fournette and force the QB to beat them. Betting against Bortles seems like a great wager, especially on such a huge stage, and a pick-six is never out of the equation.
Other Against-the-Grainers
QB: Case Keenum (MIN, $29)
RB: Le'Veon Bell (PIT, $40)
WR: Nelson Agholor (PHI, $16)
TE: Kyle Rudolph (MIN, $17)
DST: New England Patriots ($16)

The Beers criteria identify potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs), which may cause adverse events in elderly patients. A new study applied the Beers criteria, retrospectively, to 52 alternate level of care (ALC) patients to determine whether PIMs had contributed to adverse events in this population. ALC patients, who have completed a hospital stay and await placement elsewhere, often have complicated medication regimens, the effects of which have not been previously examined in these patients.
A chart review revealed that 48 of 52 patients (92%) were taking a PIM. The patients experienced a total of 922 adverse events, of which 407 were associated with a regularly scheduled PIM. Further, patients who were taking regularly prescribed PIMs had a significantly increased likelihood of an adverse central nervous system event or a fall (p<0.001 for both events). First-generation antihistamines (46%), antipsychotics (40%), short-acting benzodiazepines (29%), and non-benzodiazepine hypnotics (27%) constituted the most common PIM medications in this group. Adverse events, which were common in the ALC patients, may be prevented by medication review using the Beers criteria.

|MFTWSC#9 - the starting point
|Brewing Up A Latte Thanks
I did some paper piecing on her dress & the rest is colored using Copic Markers. The piece is then inked using a sponge applicator with Distress Ink - old paper. It made a nice compliment to the craft paper card & gave it an aged look to it. I just love using those cork pads on my cards... sometimes it's all about using things which don't seem like the obvious embellishment to a card or paper project. Not to mention they are so budget friendly! (I picked up a pack of 36 for just $1.)
Hope you enjoy stopping by to see my latest cr8'ion! I have a great deal of fun creating these cards, & enjoy sharing them with all of you!
Happy Cr8'ing!

Anyone out there ever tumble loaded but dirty rounds? I never have done it, but years ago Horsager posted that his dad used to do this occasionally. And IMO Al was one of the safest most knowledgeable handloader I've met.
Cant be any more dangerous than carrying them loose in a pocket for a while. That works, but in a case tumbler!?!

A musical comedy from Joss Whedon, starring Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser / How I Met Your Mother), Nathan Fillion (Firefly / Serenity) and Felicia Day (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)
Act I and II are up, final act will be up tomorrow and will 'disappear' at midnight the 20th. Catch it while you can (or use Orbit Downloader to save it. It made me listen to the Buffy Musical again and is this is really getting songs stuck in my head. On a side note I hope to return to regular (or at least more regular) scheduled blogging on more technology related things. I just find it funny how life throws you more just as you try to cut down on things. Now if I only had a freeze ray…..

Every pregnancy carries high risk and delivering a healthy baby is not an easy task for women with kidney disease. Due to kidney dysfunction, the body retains waste products that inhibit the production of eggs and menstruation. Consequently, getting pregnant can be difficult. In general, patients are suggested to treat the kidney problems first before they get pregnant, which help increase the chance of conception and help ensure a healthier pregnancy.
In general, women with Chronic Renal Failure are not advised to get pregnant, including pre-dialysis patients. The risks to both mother and baby are greater than normal. Then, how will kidney disease affect pregnancy?
Women with mild renal disease may have a successful pregnancy, but those who have severe kidney disease will likely to develop pregnancy complication. Once a patient gets pregnant, her body has to work extra hard to provide sustenance for both the mother and baby. In this case, some serious health risks may occur.
·Due to excess water retention, the pregnant mother may develop elevated blood pressure and more wastes in her blood.
·Mother who has extremely high blood pressure is at risk of preeclampsia. As a result, she may suffer from premature delivery and bran, liver or kidney bleeding.
·Other risk factors for a pregnant women with kidney disease also include reduced renal function, miscarriage, greater risk of urinary tract infections, Acute Kidney Failure, etc.
·Women suffering from anemia, hypertension, and excessive proteinuria face a 60 percent risk of infant death during their pregnancy.
·The baby's growth can be adversely affected when her mother has high blood pressure, as she will be unable to receive enough blood through the placenta.

Everyone loves flowers. The naturally awesome colors, sweet fragrances, unique shapes....flowers rock! When designing flowers for a wedding or event, no one really sees the process of creating a gorgeous bouquet or centerpiece like the one pictured below.
The process from concept to actual design is a very time sensitive one with production starting weeks before a wedding. With this post, we'd like to share a glimpse into how things "happen" with bouquets.
After the concept and color schemes are nailed down, flowers are then ordered from various sources sometimes as far as Holland and New Zealand. Once flowers arrive via air cargo it is extremely important to nurture and care for the stems after having traveled out of water for days at a time. Some flowers travel safely with little to no worries (i.e. orchids), but others like hydrangeas, sweet peas, peonies need to be re-cut to ensure they are absorbing water properly.
After flowers are processed and allowed ample time to "breathe", we then begin to allocate each stem to each designated area. (i.e. bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. ) Once that is complete, we then hand wire blooms from a multi-bloomed stalk (i.e. cymbidiums, mokara orchids) to ensure we get the best use of the stem.
The formation process is next which involves designing and ensuring balance in color, form and overall care for each stem. We like to saturate the blooms heavily with a mixture of water and floral preserve during this time so they can be stored safe and sound for the big day.
Depending on the day of the wedding, we then proceed to wrap the bouquet with a fine ribbon treatment to coordinate with the overall design. The final product is always a joy to present to the bride knowing that a great deal of time and patience went into the creation of a fabulous bouquet. Below is a snippet of a bridesmaids bouquet for a super fun wedding at The Dallas Museum of Art.
... and here is the beautiful bridal bouquet designed with a soft textured blending of ivory garden roses, baby majolica roses, fluttery white orchids and dashes of lilac toned sweet pea for a subtle pop of color.
As you can see, the bouquet is just one area of the wedding where details really do make a big difference. They are photographed with the bride and become cherished tokens from a truly memorable day.
In upcoming posts, we will continue Behind the Scenes with Bella Blogs to showcase the other aspects of creating a wedding. From concept development, renderings, linen selections, lighting design, the list just goes on and on!
Until next time! Happy Planning!

You all know my love of a good hand cream, and Neal's Yard is a brand I've been wanting to try for such a long time. So imagine my excitement when I received a very generous sized Bee Lovely Hand Cream back in the Mark and Spencer's advent calendar. Neal's Yard Remedies Bee Lovely Hand Cream is not only aptly named, with an adorable name I might add, it also "nourishes the skin and lifts the spirits", and being infused "with energising Orange Essential Oil" what isn't to love? Naturally, with such a name all about bees, the hand cream is also "blended with moisturising organic honey". We all know how good both honey and essential oils are for your skin, so it's no surprise that the Bee Lovely Hand Cream "nourishes, softens and protects hands". Also as a little bonus, everytime someone buys a tube of this hand cream it "helps raise money for projects that help to save our precious bees" (www.nealsyardremedies.com).
Personally, I need a hand cream that sinks in quickly, even on those days where I'm at home and not really doing much I can't stand hand creams that sit on the skin for ages and leave your hands feeling greasy meaning you can't then do anything else. The Bee Lovely Hand Cream sinks in pretty quickly, although my hands were left feeling a little greasy meaning that I couldn't do a lot after putting this on. You also might need to be a fan of orange scent when using this, because believe me that orange scent packed a punch. I felt like I'd literally been punched in the face the scent was that overpowering. Now, this doesn't stop me using it, it just means that it isn't a hand cream that I throw into my bag to use while I'm out and about. My hands do feel lovely after I've used this, they definitely feel like they've had some love and nourishment put back in.
Will I continue to use the Bee Lovely Hand Cream? I don't find myself reaching for this on a daily basis due to the overpowering scent and the greasy feeling I'm left with, however what I plan to start doing is using it at night when I'm in bed and layer this on nice and thick under my cotton gloves to let it really sink in and work overnight.
Will I repurchase the Bee Lovely Hand Cream? I don't think I will, despite it being such a nicely named hand cream that helps out the bees, I have a lot more hand creams that I reach for on a daily basis and for a lot cheaper.
Would I recommend the Bee Lovely Hand Cream? If orange is a scent that you love and can deal with on a daily basis, or can simply overlook then this will be a hand cream for you. Again, if you don't mind a hand cream that leaves your hands feeling slightly greasy before leaving them feeling super soft then this is for you.
Overall score out of 5? A 3. I love how my hands ultimately feel after using this, the honey and essential orange oil really do get to work at making a miracle happen. Although I'm not that keen on my hands feeling greasy initially or the overpowering orange scent, which for me is a totally personal preference.

as you can see, there are many many negative reviews about salad master. A cook ware that can cost up to $3,500.00 . It's a Sham when dealers on top of dealers make your money. It's obvious why it is over prices. Dealers have to get paid and paid huge.
Dealers are posting on this page to give it a better star rating. It benefits them. They help the hand that feels them well.Salad master dealers are all over the united states, they are cult-ish when you see their youtube video. They are always happy! very happy. I assume it's from all the money they are making selling you overpriced cookware.
Be Smart and think. They claim their cookware does not need oil to cook chicken or beef. DUH. Beef and chicken (Skin ) has its own delicious fat. You don't need extra oil to cool. Its a gimmick ! and that *** *** *** on the top of the pan, Its just a gimmick ! Be smart. you are not that ***.
now; Ive search youtube for some photos. Do you really think this looks delicious or healthy ?
I personally think they look DISGUSTING
This person wrote the review because of poor customer service of saladmaster cookware from Saladmaster and attached a photo. Reviewer claimed that he or she lost $599 and wants Saladmaster to issue a full refund.
The most disappointing in user's experience was that i got scammed by salad master, your customer service attitute, that you get immigrants as your dealers and distributors and you pretend to give cooking class but sell them salad master. Author liked the most that you dont really have a lifetime warranty but pretend you do. The author asks this business to immediately contact him/ her to briefly discuss his/ her negative experience with the company.
We collected other reviews about products and/or services offered by Saladmaster for you to read. This information may help you with your purchase decision.


text: With the guidance and assistance of my good buddy Nick from the Cap and Hare Homebrew Club and ingredients from our supply at Rahr, I made a dream come true. We brewed a 10 gallon batch of a beer I've been dreaming about for a long while. More details will come, closer to the time that it's ready to drink, but for now... I will keep it mostly a secret. Let's just say, if you know me, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. I'm learning more and more about brewing and loving every minute of it. If you are lucky, you'll get to taste it at a Wednesday tour at Rahr. If you are really lucky, it might make it to small production in the near future.

UK oil executive starts US$5b private-equity group
[LONDON] Sam Laidlaw, former Centrica Plc chief, and private equity's Carlyle Group and CVC Capital Partners plan US$5 billion of oil and gas investments to benefit from asset sales by industry giants in the wake of slumping crude prices.
Neptune Oil & Gas Ltd, set up by the partners, will seek deals in the North Sea, North Africa and Southeast Asia.
"Neptune intends to create a mid-size exploration and production company in the 75,000 to 100,000 barrels-a-day range," Mr Laidlaw, the quarter-century industry veteran who in running the UK's biggest utility became one of the nation's best-known energy executives, said in an interview on Tuesday.
The new company joins a rush to raise money for energy acquisitions after oil prices plunged to about US$60 a barrel from more than US$100 a year ago. The top-four private-equity groups, Carlyle, Apollo Global Management LP, Blackstone Group LP and KKR & Co, have raised at least US$30 billion for deals in the past 18 months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
With the wave of cash helping valuations defy gravity, some investors have yet to find anything to purchase with their recently accumulated war chests.
Neptune would like to "buy a significant portfolio" in just one or two deals, though it may have to wait, Mr Laidlaw said.
"Valuations have yet to reflect the new reality of the oil price," the former Centrica chief executive officer said. It'll take "a while" before the facts sink in, he said.
North Sea Mick Davis, the former Xstrata Plc CEO, has yet to spend the more than US$5 billion he raised in the past two years for his X2 venture. Jonathan Roger, previously at Centrica, is also waiting to deploy the US$500 million generated from Blackstone and others in 2014 for his Siccar Point in anticipation of North Sea deals.
That said, the need for companies like BP Plc, Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Total SA to protect shareholders' dividends in the face of lower oil prices points to the logic of resource sales.
The North Sea, where Laidlaw helped build Centrica's oil and gas business, already has companies offering assets.
LetterOne, controlled by billionaire Mikhail Fridman, may sell North Sea fields, bought from RWE AG, under pressure from the UK government due to concerns about the risk of sanctions against Russian interests. The UK in April said it was giving LetterOne as long as six months to arrange a sale of the assets.
"An extended period of lower oil prices is likely to drive" more North Sea deals, Michael Alsford, an oil analyst at Citigroup Inc, wrote in a report on Tuesday.

30-September 2009
He just graduated from university with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Nursing and was just waiting for the date of his licensure exam. Sadly the notice of exam came in too late as well. His family received the notice of exam on the second day of his interment.
What was this man's motive for killing him? — After he's been apprehended by the authorities, he confessed that he overheard him commented on something or someone that stinks and thought he was referring to him. Hence, he stabbed him.
He's now in jail awaiting his trial, but my friend and her family could no longer bring back the life of Aris. His long-term girlfriend has been inconsolable. We're all still shocked and furious of how anyone could have so little regard for human life.
I know that all over the world, things like this happen all the time. I'm worried for the people I love and for myself. I'm saddened with the way some people could have so low morals because of their egocentricity.
– Aris Jordan Bobadilla Panesa (1988-2009)

Just by next healthier practices concerning eating, training and receiving a great deal of snooze, it is possible to change your metabolic price and begin diminishing people suppliers of body fat that accumulate just before we all know it about the waist, thighs and tummy.Strategies to assist shed weight include:

There's a chance you're amazed, as quite a few other dieters are, at the amount of or everything you try to eat without having realizing it. In the event you go from feeding on a few sq. meals per day to five or six smaller meals a day–which is sensible when seeking to shed weight–the inclination to snack makes a "I'm not really having a great deal so this tiny little bit of cake will never hurt" impact that will increase many hundred much more calories on a daily basis for your food plan.

Frequently asked Questions
The following questions are often made by visitors and students. Maybe some of them are already "troubling" your mind also.
How will the lessons be conducted?
Your ancient Greek Lessons will be conducted by online tutoring, mainly through Skype. Each time you will be a priori provided with all the necessary learning material, explanatory notes, exercises, homework hints etc, by email.
Will I have to buy any books or other learning material?
No. Everything you need will be provided to you in advance. You must, however, keep this material strictly for personal use. You will have to sign a non-disclosure and copyright protection agreement regarding that.
How will I pay for the lessons?
The payment method is carefully designed to alleviate your anxiety in case you are not fully content with the lessons. Your first ancient Greek lesson is without any charge whatsoever, giving you the opportunity to fully evaluate the whole learning process. Next, if you do wish to continue, you will have to pay at least for two lessons in advance. You won't have to submit any personal data and I don't want to learn your credit card's number! All payments will be transacted through PayPal, ensuring your account's safety.
When will the lessons take place?
The lessons will take place at a prearranged date and time.
Can the lessons be attended by more than one student?
Well, yes, but the tutor must be informed in advance. Of course each extra person will also have to pay for the lesson.
Do I have to take all 5 courses?
Of course not! If you believe you already grasp the content of several sections you may choose just one or several sections from one or several courses. Please bear in mind, though, that choosing advanced ancient Greek sections or courses presupposes certain basic knowledge that our tutor will expect you to already master before trying to guide you through the next level. If he realizes that you don't have enough knowledge to understand and learn the section or sections you wish, the tutor may recommend you to step back a few sections.
Do I have to attend all the sections of the course that interests me?
No. Just check the answer to the previous question.
Will there be any tests or exams?
Of course. After covering the content of several main sections, certain tests will help both the student and the tutor to evaluate the progress that has been made and the areas that they have to try more. At the end of each course, an exam will show whether the student is indeed ready to move to the next level.
Which ancient Greek dialect will I be taught?
Basically you will learn the Attic dialect and, if you wish to, the "Koine", which is also the form of ancient Greek that was used in the creation of the Septuaginta and of the New Testament. The Attic dialect is the main ancient Greek dialect that was initially spoken in the general region around Athens and was the one that overwhelmed all the other ancient Greek dialects. It is the standard form of the language that is studied in ancient Greek language courses, and the language used by the vast majority of the renowned ancient Greek writers, such as Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle and Xenophon.
Am I going to be able to read Modern Greek also?
Actually yes. Modern Greek is in fact a simplified version of the ancient Greek Attic dialect. If you are a diligent student, you will be able, after the conclusion of at least the four first courses, to read and write Modern Greek also.
Will I have to use certain equipment or applications before attending the lessons? Will I have to install any programme to my computer?
You will just need standard PC equipment, a fast and steady internet connection and good speakers. Some programs that will surely be needed are Microsoft Word, a PDF reader, Team Viewer and Skype.
What happens if I fail to attend a prearranged lesson?
Well, that depends: if you notify us at least 24 hours beforehand, then we will just have to reschedule. But if you not, unfortunately you will be charged for the lesson, because we won't have the opportunity to put someone else in your place. So, please try to be punctual! Unfortunately, you will also be charged for the lesson if a mechanical or any other problem originating from your equipment or internet connection hinders the conclusion of the lesson. On the contrary, if the problem is by any way ours, you will not be charged and if you wish to quit the course, you will get a refund.

The deadline for the HOW In-House Design Awards is June 4. Don't miss this opportunity to recognize your team's work—because a boost of confidence really is in reach! All it takes is one entry.
If you're an in-house creative director (or a soon-to-be CD), chances are you've had a question or two come to mind that you never got an answer to. Maybe the questions felt too personal to ask someone in the workplace. Maybe you didn't know whom to ask. Maybe you weren't sure at the time that you even wanted to know the answer.
Whatever the reason, HOW wants to help you get some answers now. So we asked writer, speaker and award-winning in-house creative lead Ed Roberts to answer some questions inspired by creatives who raised their hands during his (amazing!) HOW Design Live session last month.
Roberts—who's worked on both the client and agency sides of the business for more than 20 years and is a leading expert at constructing high-performing corporate teams—also has some advice specifically for in-house designers, so be sure to share this with your team!
And if you have any other questions you'd like answered, send us a message.
Advice for the In House Creative Director: A Q+A with Ed Roberts
Q: I took on the role of creative director before I felt ready for it. Best advice?
A: Don't panic! This is a common challenge on both the agency and client side of the business, but it appears to be slightly more pervasive in-house. Why? More client-side organizations are finally realizing the true value of design thinking and how solid creative strategy can positively impact their bottom line. As an individual contributor, your client collaborations and results have revealed qualities that leadership believes should be leveraged. As a result, many folks, like you, are being elevated to management positions before being properly trained.
My best advice would be to begin educating yourself. Take a deep dive into the strategic mission, vision and goals of your company. Let that inform you about the business and the direction leadership has chosen to take the organization. Then invite a well-respected department head within your company to meet you for coffee. Ask that person to share the secret to success he or she has discovered while working for the company. Ask them to share how they translate the business' goals into performance objectives for their team. Assess their feedback and adopt those highlights that fit you best.
As you move through your journey as a leader, remember that the challenge many seasoned and newly promoted creative leaders face is less about acquiring a seat at the table, and has more to do with obtaining and maintaining the skills needed to keep that seat. The question that we each must ask is, how do we best leverage our opportunity to not only benefit our organization, but also our teams and ultimately our careers? Humbleness and continuous learning is key.
What's the best way to manage a team that was with their previous creative director for a long time and is set in their ways?
Fire them all and start from scratch … no, I'm kidding! Honestly, you'll need a good sense of humor because you are going to be compared (by your team and clients) to the previous creative director ad nauseam. I think the best way to begin managing an established team is finding out how each person likes to work both individually and collaboratively. Find out what they believe currently works well and what could be improved operationally within the department. Then ask each of them how you can help to enhance their careers through professional development. Take notes throughout this process and make immediate, manageable improvements based on each team member's feedback. Give them each credit where credit is due by thanking them for their candid input and willingness to share their ideas. Repeat this process at least twice a year to gauge the professional health of the department and its contributors.
I took on the role of creative director knowing there'd be more work on the admin side—but there's so much that I feel I'm acting as a project manager for my team. How can I minimize the amount of time I spend on admin duties?
Welcome to the club! I completely understand and connect with this feeling. The truth is you are no longer just an individual team contributor. You are the person responsible for managing both the processes and people that comprise your department. In addition, you are tasked with mentoring and encouraging creatives to produce stellar work within deadline and budget.
The buck now stops with you, and that is an awesome responsibility. But, if you are craving a little more time away from the more practical side of your managerial role, design opportunities for yourself that will feed your desire to be creative. Begin by delegating less critical project management opportunities to a teammate who has expressed interest in taking on more responsibility in leading a process. Use that time to mentor them through each project milestone.
You will find that helping to grow another person's skills is just as satisfying creatively as producing a video or building a digital experience. Think of your skill in ideation as a tool that can be used to strengthen people.
Once you get comfortable delegating some of those project management duties, reserve several short-term projects for yourself to dive into each year to keep your creative edge sharp.
Any tip for successfully collaborating with other internal department heads?
Constant communication and being able to provide context to your team is everything. If you don't have a person on your team that performs account management tasks, tag—you're it. I believe the strategic power of the work produced by your team falls significantly when there is little contact with the client. Plus, this feeds the perception that you lead a group of order-takers. It's important to establish regular face-to-face meetings to learn what your clients are trying to accomplish throughout the year.
Email exchanges are not enough. I suggest setting up recurring meetings where you discuss new assignments, the status of assigned work, and the results of projects implemented on behalf of your client through various channels. Look for opportunities to bring both departments together to brainstorm on how to solve a challenge or share work each group is focused on at the moment. This could begin to rightfully position your team as a strategic business partner.
If your client is hard to nail down, ask to be invited to their team update meetings and request that you provide a brief update on their agenda. If that doesn't work, establish several lunch and learns throughout the year, inviting both clients and non-clients in an effort to educate them on your department, processes and project successes. Either way, any efforts to meet regularly with clients could be the sledgehammer needed to tear down the walls of a silo and improve your team's value.

Return of the Mini
By now we all know that leopard print and western vibes are going to be huge this fall. Instagram is basically a zoo these days, haha! One of the trends that isn't getting much attention just yet is the return of mini skirts and dresses. Very noughties and probably a trend that will pick up more once we start to head for the Holiday season (did I just dare go there?). Mini skirts are very unlike me.

Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) May Surprise In Upcoming Q2 Earning Release
- BIDU could beat analysts' consensus by a good chance. As predicted by our model:Q2 BIDU earning per ADS 8.9 to 9.05 Yuan(1.43 to 1.46 USD) Margin around 26%.
- Seasonality: Since 2011, BIDU performed extraordinarily well in each Q2. Average profit QOQ growth rate in Q2 is 43.02%, against -12.99% in Q1 and all time average 4.5%.
- BIDU never missed its revenue outlook in Q2. Since 2011, there's 75% chance that actual Q2 revenue would be greater than upper-estimate from preceding Q1's predict.
- BIDU's dominant position in mobile internet became even stronger. BIDU's Market share was 78.6% in Apr and 79.3% in May.(Data from Upperplus).
- China's GDP increased sharply 7.5% YOY which is a very positive sign for BIDU. Increased personal consumption expenditure virtually means the raise of the raise of spending in online Ad.
As Online Marketing Revenue still is extremely crucial to Bidu's revenue (98.75% of Bidu's revenue is from Online Marketing in Q1 2014), the revenue per OMC (online marketing customer) and number of active OMC is utterly important if we want to estimate Q2's revenue and profit.
Historically BIDU's OMC averagely paid 23.63% more on Q2 than Q1 since 2011. Revenue, Profit QVQ growth rate, Revenue per OMC and number of active OMC all grew significantly in Q2.
As we all know BIDU has invested aggressively in the first half of this year, the total cost would be bigger than ever. Considering the recent heavy investment, we especially adjust our parameters of valuation model to suit such situation, the predicted result has proved our point: Estimated total cost (total cost=Revenue Cost + Selling, General and Admin + Research and development) for Q2 is 8.93 billion yuan (1.44 billion USD), which not only is the highest total cost of Bidu history, but also the greatest total cost QOQ growth rate ever (roughly 26%).
Although Q2 has the highest cost growth rate and quarterly total cost, due to robust raise of revenue, we will still have pretty good profit. The model generated a Q2 profit of 3.14 billion yuan (0.51 billion USD); earning per ADS would be 8.9 to 9.05 Yuan (1.43 to 1.46 USD) with impressive 23.7% to 25.5% QOQ growth rate.
Although my model predicted this quarter could have a 26% QOQ profit growth rate which also is the lowest growth rate of all Q2 (Q2 average rate is 43.02%), my estimate still is relative high comparing with other analysts' consensus estimates on earning per share. I believe there's a pretty good chance that the actual Q2 EPS would beat consensus.
After Earning
What will happen after Bidu's earning release? There're two important dates may need attention:
- July 30th 2014, U.S. GDP Growth Rate QOQ Adv, Consensus 3.6%.
- Aug 1th 2014. U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls and Unemployment Rate release.
We possibly had similar situations in 2012 Q2 and 2013 Q2. Bidu has impressive 47.11% and 29.48% QOQ profit growth rate in Q2 2012 and 2013 respectively; Situations after earning were like this:
In 2013:
In 2012:
Mobile Internet Search
According to the recent report published by UpperPlus, Bidu keep dominating the mobile internet search market in China in second quarter, market share up to 78.7% in Apr and 79.3% in May. While BIDU's biggest rival in desktop search, QIHU 360, only has 1.9% and 1.6% in Apr and May respectively.

2010 Nissan Juke
The Japanese automaker Nissan will add a fourth crossover to their lineup at the Geneva Motor Show with the all new Juke. Inspired by the current Qazana concept. The compact CUV will be slotted somewhere between the compact family car, Note, and the other crossover, the Qashqai. According to the manufacturer, "The Nissan Juke has been designed and developed to give customers an alternative to the traditional small hatchback in Europe." and will feature a fresh fun design like the Kia Soul and open up a whole new market segment for Nissan.
Press release after the jump.

Press release
One month before its global media unveil on February 10th, Nissan today confirms the name of its forthcoming small Crossover. The Nissan Juke will go on sale from October, following its global public premiere at Geneva Motor Show in March.
The Nissan Juke will inject some much-needed dynamism into the small car segment, offering European car-buyers an alternative to the traditional, uninspiring small hatchback. As the fourth Crossover in Nissan's European range, "Juke" reinforces the brand's pioneering Crossover leadership in Europe.
The car was inspired by the Qazana concept car that received such a warm reception at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, and will fit into the Nissan range between the Note compact family car and the Qashqai crossover.
Nissan's customer research identified a large proportion of European small and compact car buyers whose needs are not met by what they perceive to be uninspiring and unoriginal options available to them where copycat hatchbacks dominate.
The Nissan Juke has been designed and developed to give customers an alternative to the traditional small hatchback in Europe.
"We know that there are a lot of customers looking for a car which combines striking design, agile handling and driving pleasure, user friendly technology but not at the expense of practicality and convenience. These unique attributes will allow Juke to occupy a unique corner of the European market," said Simon Thomas, Nissan's European Senior Vice President for Sales and Marketing.
"Nissan caught the mood of the European car-buying public with Qashqai crossover and we've worked hard to study the market in the same way for Juke to be sure we meet the needs of European customers. We're confident that Juke will bring a new generation of customers to Nissan, in the same way that Qashqai did. Our philosophy of challenging conventions with Qashqai has been a huge success. We've just reached the 500,000 landmark and we're applying many of the lessons learned from Qashqai to Juke. We're confident we'll have another success on our hands," added Simon Thomas.
Juke will be manufactured alongside the Qashqai, Qashqai+2 and Note at Nissan's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Sunderland, Great Britain.
With the introduction of Murano in the US in 2003, the Crossover concept was introduced to consumers who were looking for a vehicle that combined the dynamic design and handling characteristics of a passenger car, but with the added benefit of all-wheel drive traction and the improved visibility of a raised seating position, but without the boxy shape of an SUV.
4 comments:
What made you say Nissan is getting sillier? You're an over dramatic critic who knows nothing. By looking at this car, it's like I'm seeing an evil..nice shot by the photographer.
Are you guys sure you haven't made a typo there, shouldn't this thing be called a "Joke"? Nissan are just getting more and more sillier than ever before.
Well it will be a tough competition between the hatchback cars and for the crossovers this year where this Nissan Juke will upset the Nissan Qashqai. Although the sales of Qashqai are in good condition on the market, the appeal of this Juke is outstanding for retailers that there's a possibility to overtake the sales of Qashqai.
You'd think they would have thought of that before signing-off on the 'Juke' name. Looks like a baby Murano.. in the size of the X1 or even smaller if they're saying it's a replacement for the Micra.

who is your client?
I tell you what. My client is somebody, but not everybody. It's someone who is looking to have a damn good time all in the process of getting wonderful images. Someone who maybe likes to do things differently, sees things a little non-traditionally and isn't afraid of breaking a few rules or parking illegally. If you're interested in having your story told. Have an appreciation for the process, not just the result. Looking for an actual friendship with your photographer. Wanting imagery that's a little edgy with a whole 'lotta truth. That's my client. They become great friends and documenting them is such an easy thing to do. I'm not interested in being your vendor or sticking to things expected. I make my best work when there's a real connection, plain and simple.
do you travel?
Lord yes. Travel is what started my career and continues to be an area of inspiration for my work. About 80% of my work is travel work. Getting my feet on new soil, does an incredible thing for my spirit and images. I'll travel for pretty much any type of work. Over the past few years I've had the pleasure of shooting work in the Philippines, Cambodia, Australia, Sweden, England, Mexico, Hawaii, Arizona, Florida, New York, Virginia, New Mexico, Michigan, California, Colorado (some others) and of course my sweet Seattle…where I call home. I generally need a flight, accommodation and a rental car. If you want me in your town, its pretty likely I'd love to make it happen.
omg i'm like so bad at being in front of the camera...
Do not fret. I think most people who see my images think, "oh god, everyone she shoots is a pro!" Which is sometimes true (I just have bomb clients) but mostly this is due to being really comfortable with me while we're shooting. You just cannot help it, I promise. I talk a ton, I tell you exactly what I want and I know what I want…which – I think – is crucial. I will get you moving and talking and laughing. I just want people to be themselves on a shoot, trust me, and have a damn good time.
how far do you book out?
For weddings, generally 1-1.5 years in advance. For all other work, 3-5 months. Getting on my radar sooner than later is always a good idea. I aim to only shoot 3 out of 4 weekends in a month, and rarely double-header weekends, but I've been known to do some pretty irrational things and get next to none sleep for couples I get attached to. so I never say never.
do you shoot full day wedding coverage?
Why yes, that's all i do. Its to my own detriment to be hired for 6 or 8 hours. I don't get the full story, and that's really what I'm interested in. So when I come, I will be there for the full day. That doesn't mean 24 hours, but it means that I always aim to get the full story. Every wedding is so different, so I prefer to let things happen organically, never be rushed and have the opportunity to make images that are inspiring.
do you have a 2nd shooter?
Typically, no. But if you want one, you got it. It's a package add-on. I shoot 99.999% weddings solo and feel totally confident doing so, however, there are some weddings that have so much going on, sometimes it just helps to have two bodies on the day. Once I learn more about your wedding, I will always be honest and let you know my preferences for your day.
will you help us if we have questions?
I always say good coverage is about education. I don't expect you to know everything, and I also think it's the responsibility of a good photographer to educate. I get involved, I give you PDFs, help plan the schedule and am there all along the way. This is a very important part of the process.
how long will it take to get my wedding photos?
This really depends on the time of the year, my work flow and how much work and travel I have at the time. Typically, you will see images within the 5-7 week mark. Sometimes, 4. If it's high season for me, things may be more like 6-8 weeks. If you email me 600 times asking....it wont get you them any faster. love you!
do you have insurance?
do you have back-up gear?
are you allergic to dairy?
Why yes I am, thank you for asking. I'm also Vegan.

01. Xenoblade Chronicles X
I have followed the development of the Oculus Rift since
the beginning. I was among the first in our city to get a hands on demo with this amazing product. I have known
since the day I first tried the product at Giant Robot 2 here in Los Angeles, that it would revolutionize gaming and
change the medium as we know it forever. No amount of hype and hyperbole can do this product justice. You must simply try
it for yourself. I am hoping the final retail version of the product will be on display at E3. I also want
an exact release date along with pricing.
Last year Star Wars Battlefront was one of my most anticipated
games. Star Wars fans had long awaited a return of the franchise. After the release of an impressive new gameplay trailer
I am very eager to get my hands on this new title. Last year EA surprised fans at their yearly press conference by holding
a massive playable demo of their hit game Battlefield: Hardline. We are hoping they will do the same with Star Wars Battlefront.
I personally want to put this game to the test to see if the force is truly with the new title.
