· Political Consultant Constantin Querard recommends you disregard the e-mail pitches from such groups as "Conservative America Now" for money to beat Sen John McCain.

· Anita Christy – Gilbert Watch: Where are all those Common Core Drafts and Arizona's "Copious" Feedback to the Standards Writers? Arizonans have been asking the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) for copies of the Common Core drafts and Arizona's feedback on those drafts since 2013.

· Congressman Paul Gosar: When I was first elected to Congress in 2010, I set out to meet with as many hard working Arizonans as possible. I brought the same approach that I had as a medical professional for 25 years where I asked "Where does it hurt?" and "How can I help?" You cannot fix a problem without first listening to the people affected by it. After thousands of miles of travel and hundreds of meetings, coffees and town halls, I have learned about what issues are important to YOU. Additionally, I have listened to YOUR solutions to today's biggest challenges because the answers to the problems we face don't come from Washington D.C. In the 113th Congress I was the most effective member in both Houses. With your help, I have delivered and will continue to take bold action and provide real leadership. Furthermore, this year I will be traveling around the state on a "Solutions Tour" to share with you the actions I am taking as your Representative to solve the real problems facing Arizona as well as our nation. Click the link below to see my upcoming Solution Tour dates and come be a part of the conversation. http://gosar.house.gov/2015-solutions-tour Next stop: 6:30 pm.

· LD15 Sen Nancy Barto: After a very long day (and night!), we passed the budget. Governor Ducey showed real leadership by not spending more than the state actually has - the numbers were very close to the original budget released in January, which is pretty incredible. ** News Flash! ** The final budget DID NOT cut K-12! It actually added slightly to their bottom line. It also DID NOT force schools to cut non-classroom spending from their budgets. Schools have flexibility to spend the dollars where they are needed - but the message was clearly sent: prioritize the classroom! That is simply not happening in every district and it should be.

I'm likely going to get the ring linked above for my wedding band, but am wondering if this style is sold by brands other than Zales. I've heard Zales doesn't have the best customer service. Plus, this ring is at the outlet store and we're not ready to buy it yet (what if it disappears?).
I've had no trouble finding single row contour bands, but I really love the double rows. Has anyone seen a similar ring that they could link me to?

As debate continues on the future of fibre-optic broadband, it has been suggested that the business case for investment is not compelling.
In a recent article in the Times, media analyst Dan Sabbagh asserted that the necessary infrastructural upgrades - which could cost as much as £10 billion - would deliver a business return for BT.
Conversely, a recent Broadband Stakeholders Group report has suggested Britain is losing out on £16 billion in business investments because of a lack of high-speed broadband services.
Mr Sabbagh noted that fibre-optic broadband does not necessarily bring greater productivity and added that at the current time, existing broadband services are adequate for most needs.
"Yet, bottlenecks are starting to emerge in the UK, particularly on the congested highways from the exchange to the trunk network," he commented.
The popularity of high-bandwidth services such as video streaming and music downloads is putting significant strain on the network, with some providers claiming the internet will come to a standstill in the future.

GeddyLee-KevinWinter_4-20-13, a photo by Doctor Noe on Flickr.
Mazel Tov, Boychik!
Rush, Heart, Public Enemy and Randy Newman were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night.
Geddy Lee is really Gary, but his immigrant grandmother (of yiddishkeit persuasion) could only pronounce as Geddy. A tip of the Noe Yarmulkeh to Deborah Frost for that tidbit.
This kinda takes me back to sometime in the late eighties, when I was travelling on a mission from God (or Guitar World anyway). John Swenson was on board to do the interview and I was kibbitzing as the editor.
Geddy and I compared notes on being sons of Holocaust survivors backstage as we waited for the photographer to set up. He in Toronto and me in little old New Yawk shared the same deep roots known as Child of Holocaust Survivors syndrome. Many Yiddishisms were pronounced on that day. And so I say unto you, Geddaleh, Mazel Tov, boychik!
You can see it all in my Yiddish Glossary for Goyim:
boychik (boy-chick) fella [literally, "little boy," but in essence more endearing than derogatory]
"Hey, boychik, meet me at the Grill in Beverly Hills. We'll hoist a few and have some laughs. No agenda, just face time."
baitsim (bayt-tzim) testicles; literally, eggs
"Keep your baitsim in your pants. Last I heard you were a married man."
Noë Gold's "Yiddish Glossary for Goyim" is now published as an ebook and a hard copy. The ebook is available from amazon.com, described here:
Hard copy: $12 per directly from the author: firstname.lastname@example.com.

|More information:
For the 200th anniversary of Robert E. Lee's birth, a new portrait drawing on previously unpublished correspondence. Lee's war correspondence is well known, but the great majority of his most intimate letters have never been made public. They reveal a far more complex and contradictory man than the one who comes most readily to the imagination. This book presents dozens of these letters in their entirety, most by Lee but a few by family members. Each letter becomes a departure point for an essay that shows what the letter uniquely reveals about Lee's time or character. The material covers all aspects of Lee's life--his early years, West Point, his work as an engineer, his relationships with his children and his slaves, his decision to join the South, his thoughts on military strategy, and his disappointments after defeat in the Civil War.--From publisher description.

NEW YORK (AP) — Idris Elba has welcomed a baby boy named Winston.
The actor tweeted Friday that his son was born Thursday, adding a photo of the baby's tiny hand gripping his finger. Elba's girlfriend, Naiyana Garth, gave birth.
It's the second child for the star of "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom." The 41-year-old Elba also has an 11-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

1. Paper Bag Costume
H loved this. Three cut out rectangles and he was ready to play.
2. Superhero Mask
I found these online. They are super easy--I used felt, elastic, scissors and a sewing machine.
3. Alphabet Fun
If you are following my weekly posts on alphabet activities, I started a binder so that H can look at it later. Since we do five activities for each letter, during the week I also hang our pictures on a clothesline outside of his door so he can see it. Once we start a new letter, I add the pictures to the binder.
4. Texture Basket
I covered 9 pieces of cardboard with felt using a glue gun. Then I glued down different textured items around the house and put them in a basket. I get these out for H when he gets bored. He loves to touch each board with his fingers.
5. Sorting Basket
This basket is a mix of different containers I had around the house. I had some plastic shapes leftover from teaching that I glued buttons and googly eyes to. You can use anything that is colorful and makes noise when dropped into a cup. H loves shaking the cups once they are full of shapes.

COLLETON COUNTY, SC (WCSC) - Investigators have identified the two suspects accused in a Walterboro bank robbery and a chase where shots were fired.
The Walterboro Public Safety Department charged Ramone Drew with armed robbery, kidnapping, receiving stolen goods and weapon charges. Police also charged Dante Drew with armed robbery, kidnapping, failure to stop for blue lights and receiving stolen goods.
On Friday morning, authorities say the two suspects entered the Heritage Trust Federal Credit Union on 814 N. Jefferies Blvd and told everyone to drop to the floor and hand over money.
Police say the suspects took a bag of money and took off. A police report states that gunshots were fired during a brief vehicle pursuit.
Authorities say the State Law Enforcement Division and the FBI is investigating the incident since officers were involved in the shooting.

If your teeth have minor imperfections, dental bonding is the perfect, affordable solution. And after your procedure, you should take special care to ensure the bonding lasts as long as possible.
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a tooth colored composite resin that is applied to your teeth to restore your smile back to its former beauty. It can fill cracks and cavities, cover discolorations, or give misshapen, chipped or gapped teeth a perfect appearance. Bonding is a more affordable alternative to crowns and veneers. But it is not nearly as strong, and therefore requires some special care.
Quit Smoking
Smoking is one of the leading causes of tooth discoloration. If you smoke, and are having a dental bonding procedure done, you may want to consider quitting. The composite resin material is very easily stained, and it cannot be undone. Whitening treatments, even professional ones, can't reverse the effects of staining.
Limit Beverages that Can Stain
Certain beverages - coffee, tea and red wine, to name a few - can also cause stains on your natural teeth. They can also lead to irreversible stains on dental bonding. For this reason, you should limit your intake of these beverages, and sip them through a straw when you have the opportunity.
Don't Bite Hard Objects
Dental bonding is not as strong as crowns or veneers, and cannot withstand biting down on certain objects. Avoid biting your nails or chewing on ice. Be careful with hard, crunchy foods as well.
Oral Hygiene
Taking care of your teeth is just as important now, if not more so, that you have dental bonding. Regular brushing and flossing will help it to last longer and look its best. And don't forget to visit your dentist at least twice a year for cleanings and exams. During your visits, your dentist will check your bonding for signs of damage, and fix it if necessary.
Dental bonding is an excellent, and affordable, way to fix minor imperfections in your teeth, giving you a smile you can't wait to show off. Contact our office to see if it is right for you.

Last week in Las Vegas, Nevada, the temperature averaged well above 100 degrees (with a high on Tuesday of 117 degrees). That's a bit too much heat for my taste, but I bet it's even hotter there this week. Why? Because the Black Hat USA 2005 security convention is being held in Las Vegas this week.
Every year, the Black Hat conference serves as both a showcase and a barometer. This year is no different. Security firms will try to demonstrate how smart they are, either by their cleverness and the importance of the security problems they've discovered or by the quality of their protective security tools. This year they've come up with some winners.
Alexander Kornbrust, a German security researcher, has discovered that attackers can recover encryption keys from Oracle databases. (See http://www.infoworld.com/article/05/07/25/HNblackhatoracle_1.html?source=rss&url=http://www.infoworld.com/article/05/07/25/HNblackhatoracle_1.html for more information about his discovery.) This announcement follows Kornbrust's disclosure last week of six Oracle security vulnerabilities that he reported in 2003 and still aren't fixed, even though he apparently followed the responsible path of notifying the company and giving it the opportunity to release patches for the flaws before he announced them.
Oracle was quick to claim that encryption is no substitute for access control, which is absolutely true. But if you have sensitive data, encrypting it (properly, that is) can help secure the data in case a user has--or can get--access to the data but shouldn't be able to read it. Microsoft is more or less tackling the same problem with the Windows Rights Management Service (RMS), which is designed to protect documents and messages from being read by unauthorized users who have somehow come into their possession.
Speaking of Windows, SPI Dynamics CTO Caleb Sima and his team have revealed a worrisome new Windows vulnerability. When you plug in a USB device, Windows (and Linux and Mac OS X) loads the appropriate device driver, which is supposed to make USB devices "just work." However, SPI's engineers discovered flaws in some Windows USB drivers; by building a fake USB device with custom firmware (a neat trick that certainly isn't outside the realm of sophisticated attackers), they forced a flawed driver to load, then forced it to overflow its buffer. At that point, an attacker's code can be locally executed. Game over.
SPI hasn't said which drivers have the flaws but that isn't the point. There are so many USB devices and so many poorly written vendor-supplied drivers that I'm sure we'll see copycat versions of this attack for years to come. Instead, there are more important things to consider in light of SPI's announcement.
First, vendors don't always get a chance to patch flaws before they're announced. Oracle had more than 650 days to fix Kornbrust's six reported vulnerabilities before he made them public, but Microsoft didn't get any advance notification of SPI's discovery. Microsoft's Security Response Center has effectively driven the quick development of patches for newly discovered vulnerabilities but only when the Center finds out about them. As if it weren't bad enough that SPI didn't give Microsoft the courtesy of an advance notification, 3com's TippingPoint division announced this week that it plans to essentially pay people who discover vulnerabilities. This follows on the heels of a similar program from iDefense. (I think both programs stink, and later I'll discuss why on my blog at http://www.e2ksecurity.com .)
Second, defense in depth is more important now than ever. The USB-based attack can be mitigated several ways, starting with physical security measures that keep attackers away from computers in the first place. I've heard of one large site that actually puts blobs of epoxy in the USB ports on its desktop machines, physically preventing users from plugging in devices. Other sites are deploying software to better manage the use of USB devices. As vendors release updated versions of their drivers, I'm sure we'll see a wave of solutions that are intended to ease the installation (and verification) of these updates.

Lumpectomy Often Leads to Repeat Surgeries
Researchers find that nearly a quarter of the women who had a lumpectomy had to go back for another surgery, but is this necessary?

Very good deal. And the employees I have met are all kind and very helpful. This is already better than my current gym . looking forward to many miles on the treadmills!
Planet Fitness is a group of fitness centers with over 800 locations scattered in various parts of the country. The group has its headquarters in Newington, New Hampshire. The gym's advertising slogan is "Judgment Free Zone" and targets neophyte or casual gym goers.
The company has earned notoriety for its marketing campaign. In 2011, the company aired a series of TV commercials that openly criticized gym rats who tend to alienate casual gym users. Its rules are also geared at discouraging members from becoming hardcore bodybuilders. It has more cardiovascular equipment than free weights.
Still, it has remained relevant despite the backlash because of its 24/7 services and affordable gym membership fees. In fact, it is considered as the fastest growing gym franchise in the United States.
Rating: (8/10)
There are more than 800 Planet Gyms around the United States. It is present in all the states except for Montana and Wyoming. It is also present in Puerto Rico.
The company offers franchises to interested investors. With a good number of branches nationwide, there should be a Planet Fitness gym near your home.
Rating: (9/10)
Compared to bigger gyms, Planet Fitness offers more affordable gym membership fees. The basic monthly fee is around $10, which gives you unlimited access to home club and fitness training. The good news is that you don't have to pay a joining fee which is common in other gyms.
But if you are willing to shell out $20 a month for the black card, you get privileges like access to tanning beds and hydro massages. You also receive discounts on cooler drinks and could bring in a guest to work out. And you may work out in any Planet Fitness location.
Rating: (9/10)
Most Planet Fitness gyms are clean, thanks largely to its employees who are committed to maintaining cleanliness in all parts of the fitness centers they are assigned in. As a matter of fact, Planet Fitness offers incentives to its employees who can maintain gym cleanliness. This is in stark contrast to industry-wide practice of gyms to incentive personnel who can bring in more members.
Rating: (7/10)
All Planet Fitness gyms are equipped with the standard cardio and weight training equipment like rowers, treadmill, elliptical and barbells. Since most of its gyms are new, their equipment is new and in good shape.
But because the fitness center targets casual gym goers, don't expect dumbbells that weigh more than 100 pounds, or equipment like squat racks and Olympic benches.
The business model of Planet Fitness, after all, is to attract novice and casual gym goers so there's no point to bring in gym equipment that only bodybuilders will be able to use.
Planet Fitness gyms tend to be packed during weeknights. If you want to avoid bumping with other gym members, try going to a Planet Fitness gym during wee hours, or weekend nights.
Rating: (5/10)
Planet Fitness gyms offer amenities like hydro massage and tanning services. Aside from these don't expect much from a Planet Fitness gym.
Rating: (9/10)
When you sign up for a Planet Fitness membership don't expect to have a personal fitness trainer. Instead you'll be made to follow its rules that hard-core gym goers will frown on. For instance grunting is prohibited inside the gym. The same goes for limited use of barbells, banning of excessive noise caused by dropping of weights and prohibition of psyching up rituals commonly done by pro bodybuilders.
In terms of customer service, Planet Fitness has one of the best in the business. You will feel at home in Planet Fitness gyms. Instead of the usual plastic ID swipe, the gym personnel will key in your ID number so they'll know your name. You will be greeted by the staff as you enter the premises.
Rating: (5/10)
Private locker rooms are unheard of in most Planet Fitness locations. Since the chain of gyms offers one of the cheapest membership fees in the country, these extra amenities like locker rooms are not offered in Planet Fitness locations.
Rating: (5/10)
Planet Fitness has very basic facilities that you should not expect spacious shower rooms. Depending on the location, a typical Planet Fitness gyms has two to three shower areas. Again the basic amenities explain why Planet Fitness has very low membership fees.
Rating: (8/10)
Planet Fitness is a no-frills chain of gyms that offers very affordable membership fees. It also appeals to a particular group of gym goers, and this is shown by the limited number of gym equipment and distinctive rules implemented by gym personnel. Overall if you are looking for a gym that will give you a head start in your fitness goals then try Planet Fitness.
[usrlist "Number of Locations:8" "Membership Fee:9" "Cleanliness:9" "Workout Machine Maintenance:7" "Too Busy:7" "Amenities:5" "Customer Service:9" "Locker Room and Shower:5" "Overall Experience:8"]
Very good deal. And the employees I have met are all kind and very helpful. This is already better than my current gym . looking forward to many miles on the treadmills!
It's worth the price of the membership at Planet Fitness for the hydromassage beds alone
I have lost my patience with this gym. I get told I am dropping the weights when the guy beside me does it worse than i, but never gets warned. I tried to cancel prior to leaving for Afghanistan, but they kept charging me. So, I decided to utilize the membership since I returned since they could not cancel it properly, but I cannot take the inconsistencies with the judgement with the staff! It is ok to show up and just lie down and do nothing but take up a space, but working hard is punished. I will be leaving this no judgement zone for a successful zone!
In addition to a monthly membership fee, Planet Fitness (gym) has offered a deal for the past several years where you pay $99 for the entire year, and no membership renewal fee. I first took advantage of this offer on 12/30/13, and the expiration date on my membership for the following year was 12/30/14. On 12/15/14, I renewed my membership again for $99, and the month and day of my expiration date remained the same (i.e., expired on 12/30/15).
However, on 12/19/15 when I renewed my membership for 2016, my expiration date changed to the month and day I renewed (i.e., 12/19) instead of remaining 12/30. I spoke with the General Manager about this. He said they have a "new (computer) system" and it changes the expiration month and day to the renewal month and day. He advised that this affects only the $99 annual members. He said that he could not change the expiration date in the system, but that he would make a notation on my account that my membership is good until 120/30/16, instead of 12/19/16.
I advised him that the $99 annual members need to be made aware of this when renewing, because this didn't happen last year (apparently before they got a "new system."). I was satisfied that the general manager took care of the problem without any questions or argument, but I was not pleased that I was not informed of this change when I renewed my membership.
So, $99 annual members – if you renew prior to your expiration date, you will lose whatever time is remaining on your existing membership (or lose it the following year, depending on how you want to look at it).
Clean, friendly gym with great support staff. Always greeted with a smile. The manger is always perceptive to the needs and requests of members. Planet Fitness has my patronage and I have had several friends joins since my two year anniversary.
Great gym at 23 and Van Dyke in Utica. Clean workout space and locker rooms. Very perceptive manager who is friendly and runs a good staff.

German initiation, Gardening, Baking, Music, Cultures of the World, Art and Sports are the general workshops present through the school year on afternoon sessions.
The Theatre workshop is open to children of 5 years old.
Following the principles of the "Cultures of the World" workshop, German-language speakers offer a sensorial introduction to the musicality of Goethe's language, through games, songs and handicrafts.
The workshop is open to children from the age of 2 onwards.
A Pastry workshop is organised for children from 2 to 6 years old all year round.
It is a sensorial activity where children in a small group manipulate various textures, tastes and smells.It is also a practical life activity in which they learn to master their coordination in cutting, pouring, mixing and measuring.Finally it is primarily a social activity. The children work together on a common project so as to share it with the others at snack time.
The children prepare pastries from all over the world as well as the traditional cakes for Christmas, Epiphany and Easter.
The Music Workshop is introduced to the children as they enter the Wee Class at 2 years old. In The Big Class, they meet in small groups once a week in the Music Room.After a few exercises to worm up their vocal cords and their bodies, the children explore the musical instruments through games adapted to their age level. Listening, the quality of the musical touch and the sound produced, awareness of the movement, the expression are highlighted.Games around the hand are presented to develop the children's ability to hold and play the instruments.
They are also gradually introduced to the writing of music: from symbolic writing to the first musical notes.
And rapidly, very rapidly one wants to start.One is ready to use different materials and work with tools which one slowly and patiently master.
Sometimes one cannot stop, even when our work is finished, for we still want more or because we want to stay in this state of effervescent calmness.
So one continues on another sheet of paper, on another format or maybe with a piece of clay.
The workshop follows a Montessori language activity:
A mat is placed at the centre of the room; on the mat there are 3 small objects.
The child is asked to invent a story from these objects using them as characters.
The adult writes up the story "word for word" as the child tells it.
Once the story is finished, the child listens to his creation and then becomes the director. He chooses children from the group as his characters and places them on stage. Then he returns with the rest of the group and the miming of his play can start!

Name Games: Facebook vs. Teachbook
The world's largest social network will probably never "friend" this group of enterprising teachers.
But Facebook, with Zuckerberg at the top, has always been something of a bare-knuckler brawler, holding dearly onto its name and pushing aside any people, inside and outside the company, who stand in its path. So it comes as no surprise that Facebook, as announced in August, is suing start-up site Teachbook.com for using the word "book" in its name.
Teachbook, you ask? It may be unfamiliar to you, but obviously not to Facebook. The latter, which has over 500 million members worldwide, alleges that Teachbook, which has two employees and a few dozen members, is "rid[ing] on the coattails of the fame and enormous goodwill of the Facebook trademark," according to court documents filed in US District Court in San Jose.
Teachbook, which is based outside Chicago in Northbrook, Ill., provides tools for teachers to manage their classrooms and share resources like lesson plans. Teachbook's managing director, Greg Shrader, said the use of "book" in its name makes sense because it focuses on schools.
"We've been sitting here scratching our heads for the last couple of days," Shrader told the Chicago Tribune in late August after Facebook filed its suit for trademark infringement, among other allegations. "We're trying to understand how Facebook, a multibillion-dollar company, feels this small enterprise in Chicago is any type of threat."
Sharer added: "Effectively, they're bombing a mosquito here, and we're not sure why they want to do that."
As Facebook argues in its lawsuit, "If others could freely use 'generic plus book' marks for online networking services targeted to that particular generic category of individuals, the suffix 'book' could become a generic term for 'online community/networking services' or 'social networking services.' That would dilute the distinctiveness of the Facebook marks."
In the suit, Facebook alleges that Teachbook has caused it competitive injury and has diluted its brand. Which seems hard to accept given that Teachbook hadn't even launched at the time Facebook sued. But that is beyond the point.
"At the end of the day, they're just trying to bully us and we're not going to roll over," Shrader said.
Teachbook filed a trademark application in March 2009, and according to Shrader, the US Patent and Trademark Office said it found "no similar marks" on record. But before the government approved it, Facebook opposed the registration. Shrader told the Tribune he thought the two sides were working constructively on a resolution, but now he expects to file an opposition in court. The case was expected to go to trail this fall.
In the suit, Facebook alleges that Teachbook had branded itself on its company website as an alternative to Facebook and MySpace, in that teachers sometimes are sometimes not allowed to set up accounts because of the danger of students finding their personal information.
"Of course, the Teachbook folks are free to create an online network for teachers or whomever they like, and we wish them well in that endeavor," Facebook said in a statement. "What they are not free to do is trade on our name or dilute our brand while doing so."
This isn't the first time Facebook has gone after a smaller site. The travel site TripTrace was once called PlaceBook before Facebook sued it to change its name.
"We didn't believe anyone could own the word 'book' apart from 'face,'" reads a post on TripTrace's company blog. "We knew of a number of websites that had similar names that were clearly not copying Facebook: Cookbook, Blackbook, eBook, RunBook ... Racebook, Casebook, Tastebook."
But the site relented to Facebook because as a start-up it was in no position to fight. We will see if Teachbook decides to take on Goliath.

"I tried to commit suicide." That's what we hear from a listener of Thru the Bible's Hindi broadcasts.
"One day as I was sitting outside my house with a heavy heart, someone took notice of my scars and asked why I looked so sad. I told him everything with tears streaming down my face. He listened to me attentively and told me about Jesus. Then he prayed for me and introduced me to your programs.
"I started listening and was blessed by it every day. Soon, people started noticing my calm and relaxed demeanor. I, too, was surprised by the way God was changing me. It was God taking my burden as shown through 1 Peter 5:7. A day came when all my problems were sorted out and my life became a testimony for people going through depression. Today, I have joined a family of believers who care about each other, and I truly experience the love of Christ through this band of brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you for your teaching that gave me hope."
Praise God His Word is changing lives in Southeast Asia! Today let's intercede for Thru the Bible's Hindi broadcasts, including those in Australia where more than 150,000 people consider it their primary language. Pray for new outlets and open doors so more people will hear the Good News of Jesus Christ and be saved.

Maximo is a large cutting system based on the Platino, the well proven Prima Industrie 2D laser machine, which today is used by more than 1200 customers around the world. It is now available from IMTS Laser Specialists .
Maximo Laser Cutting System offers all the advantages of that well known, accurate and fast machine, plus a very large work area. This result is obtained with a simple but highly effective solution: a complete Platino machine - with its mechanical structure, laser generator, CNC, moving carriages, optical chain and focusing head - travelling on rails over a fixed working table, processing sheets of any lengths with the only limitation of the space available in the workshop.
As well as the movement axes of the Platino machine, the Maximo Laser Cutting Systems feature a further Y2-axis, which allows the machine to move beyond its Y1-axis stroke, as far as the sheet metal to be processed requires.
Maximo Laser Cutting System is quickly and easily installed. There is actually no need for a complete foundation. Because of a peculiar patented solution for the main carriage guidance and isostatic support, only two plinths of the same length of the Y2-axis stroke are needed.
The latest model, the MAXIMO Evoluzione laser cutting system, includes a number of improvements:
- Higher speed: 140 m/min (combined X and Y)
- Higher safety: protection cabin fully enclosing the work area
- Improved user-friendliness: - CNC Primach-20L with Windows HMI, 15" Touch screen, Trackball, Tables On Board - The fast, simple and smart Maestro-Libellula programming system - remoted console to use the machine during Y2 movements - Webcam for the remote control of the work area during the process.

I'm on the fence about which one to do. I'm having a fairly large bridal party (5 people, plus maybe my mom and FMIL) Would you prefer getting your hair done in a salon where you can all get your hair done in 2 hours or would you prefer someone coming to the house/hotel room?
Bees who are farther along in the planning process/have already gotten married, did you get any feedback from your BMs?

Todays post is from a guest blogger, Michelle Clark. She has her own blog you should also check out, Miss Banana Pants. She's a great writer with an awesome sense of humor and tells the truth exactly how it is. For example, I read the other day on facebook a status update talking about rolling a fitted sheet into a ball after failing to fold it. I laughed out loud because I SO do that and never even thought about whether other people would call that normal! So with that, I will give you her post…
Ever had one of those days when your child decides to pick their nose in public, then offers his "finds" to the person behind you in the Wal-Mart check-out line? Or how about one of those days when your toddler asks why it's okay for you to spank him, but it's not okay for him to spank his friends? How about one of those days when you try to change a "questionable" diaper in the car, only to realize at the wrong moment that your toddler wasn't finished with said "questionable business" and thus, proceeds to "finish" all over the front seat and your new Miss Me jeans? As crazy (and disgusting) as all those scenarios sound, I had them ALL 3 this morning. That's right…..it's Wednesday, but REALLY, it might as well have been another Monday for me. Usually things like this only happen on that one dreaded day of the week. I just want to shower, to go back to bed, and start over….
But I press on. I AM supermom, you know! I do have it all together and all is under control. At least I like to pretend so. Because even after mornings like the one I just had, that's what you do. You run into a fellow mom at the mall or supermarket who asks you how things are going. You respond, "Fantastic!" ……..LIE. "Pretending" sounds much more innocent, but that's not what's going on here. Cause we're ALL liars. Every last over-achieving one of us. ALL MOMS ARE LIARS.
We would all like you to think we are the best of the best at all things "parenting", when, in reality we are just giving you our own opinions and experiences. Those "experiences" are foggy though, but we force our two-cents on other moms so that they won't know that we have had gruesome, normal, Mommy-mornings like the one I just had. Let me give you an example of our good intentions gone bad:
You: "Oh, your daughter isn't sleeping through the night? That must be awful. My son has always been a good sleeper. He sleeps like, 12 hours now. It's kind of crazy."
Your intention: I want this person to know that sleep IS possible. That one day it's all going to work out and she'll have a fantastic night's sleep. We're all in this together!
How she's taking it: I'm a failure. I'm never going to sleep again. My life is over. I hate myself. My roots are growing in and my footwear is horrendous.
See how easily your good intentions have been misunderstood? But here's the thing you're forgetting:
You're LYING. Again.
You don't mean to. And yes, we do believe that your child is sort of sleeping but it took you a heck of a long time to make that happen and you forgot to mention that. You crossed out that little tidbit of info in your maternal memory bank because you don't want to remember how you lost clumps of your hair and consistently told your husband that he was a douche face. You were stressed! Not sleeping is a form a torture. Look what happened to Lady Macbeth! Who wants to remember how hard it was when you can focus your energy on how awesome you feel that you only wake up once or twice now (which technically isn't sleeping through the night, but never mind.)
So here's the up side: Anytime another mother gives you information about her life that in turn makes you feel like you are FAILING MISERABLY as a parent just whisper under your breath: "she's lying". Because it's true. She is lying. But not just to you, also to herself. And she doesn't even know it. (And even if she's not – who cares – you'll feel better) So forgive her for not remembering what really happened and find comfort in the fact that there is a chemical in our brains that eliminates pain memory.
Because one day it WILL all work out. You will go to sleep and you will leave the house without Cheerios in your hair. You will once again find the matching socks to wear instead of matching a pair that just look kinda sorta similar. And, yes, you will one day wear a bra without flaps on the front – a bra that keeps your boobs pointing UP and not DOWN.
But at this point you should probably just offer to buy her a coffee because, seriously, you both deserve it. Just think how different life would have been for Lady Macbeth had someone just given her a hug and offered to buy her a mocha latte. A lot less drama that's for sure.
Why aren't we honest? Why can't we say, "Well, I'm doing alright, minus getting pooped on, spit all over, and overcoming the constant public humiliation that my toddler puts me through on a daily basis. Thank you for asking." We don't have to be supermoms. We also don't have to have better kids than every other mom out there. The more honest we are with each other, the more we can learn to survive this crazy journey of motherhood. Let's hold our tongues and hold each other up more often. We're all in this together, clothes stained with poop and all. You know it's true.

DataQuick: Southern California January Home Sales down 6% Year-over-year
From DataQuick: Southern California Home Sales Decline; Median Sale Price Still Up Year Over Year
Home sales in January fell sharply from December, as they normally do, and dipped modestly from a year earlier, marking the 14th month in the last 16 to post a year-over-year sales decline. … A total of 13,560 new and resale houses and condos sold in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties in January 2015. That was down month over month 29.4 percent from 19,205 sales in December 2014, and down year over year 6.3 percent from 14,471 sales in January 2014, according to CoreLogic DataQuick data.
"The January and February statistics are always interesting, and sometimes a bit strange, but they're not necessarily a good indication of what's to come," said Andrew LePage, data analyst for CoreLogic DataQuick. "That's largely because many traditional buyers and sellers drop out of the housing market during the holidays and mid winter, and therefore don't close deals during those months. In recent years that's led to somewhat higher concentrations of investor activity for January and February, and we saw that again last month. Heading into spring it will be interesting to see whether price appreciation and other factors will finally release a lot of the pent-up supply of homes out there. More owners have gained enough equity to sell and buy another home and more will be satisfied with how much their homes can fetch. At the same time, recent gains in job and income growth, coupled with low mortgage rates, could stoke demand and put significant pressure on prices unless we see a meaningful jump in inventory."
Foreclosure resales represented 5.7 percent of the resale market in January. That was up from a revised 5.3 percent in December 2014 and down from 6.6 percent in January 2014. In recent months the foreclosure resale rate has been the lowest since early 2007. In the current cycle, foreclosure resales hit a high of 56.7 percent in February 2009. Foreclosure resales are purchased homes that have been previously foreclosed upon in the prior 12 months.
Short sales made up an estimated 6.5 percent of resales in January, up from a revised 6.2 in December 2014 and down from 10.7 percent in January 2014. Short sales are transactions in which the sale price fell short of what was owed on the property.
emphasis added
January is a seasonal slow month, so I wouldn't read too much into the sales decline.
A couple of key points from LePage: 1) the percent of distress sales usually increases in January, because traditional sales fall off sharply – so it is important to look at the year-over-year change in distressed sales (down to 12.2% from 17.3% a year ago), and 2) we might see more upward price pressure unless inventory increases.

Today in history class we listened to a half hour audio documentary. There's something extremely relaxing about just closing your eyes, listening, and just imagining all the pictures in your head as opposed to the pictures being given to you. We live in a very visual world, and it's nice sometimes to enjoy our other senses.
ANYWAY today at YA Highway for Road Trip Wednesday they are asking who should narrate your audio book.
I don't have a specific WIP in mind to be narrated, but I definitely think that whatever book is narrated, it should be done by someone with a nice voice. A voice that is enjoyable to listen to. So I thought of two voices.
Tahereh Mafi. This is odd, but when I listened to her recording of her pronouncing her name I was amazed at how pretty her voice was. :) Yes, I know it's weird.
Aslan. Otherwise known as Liam Neeson, the guy who voices Aslan of the Chronicles of Narnia in the films. I think Aslan's voice was perfect in the films, so I would want the narration to be in the same style. Although if the real Aslan could somehow narrate my novel, I'm sure his voice would be pretty awesome.
Whose voices would you like to listen to as they narrate a book?

Use an ironing board, a piece of plywood or whatever you can find. Lean it against a wall at the recommended angle or as close to it as you can eyeball.
The boom tube is the front part of the frame that holds the bottom bracket, crankset and pedals. It attaches to the frame where the outrigger tubes meet the main tube(or where the arms of the frame meet the body). The Rover, Rambler, and Sportster products have adjustable booms so one size fits all per the charts below. The Tour II has a detachable boom tubes of different lengths but they are not a sliding adjustable piece.
The boom tube length guidelines listed below are merely suggestions, this is by no means an exact science. For those of you who are on the fence, here are some guidelines. If you're the serious racing type who likes to recline the seat all the way back and go fast, add an inch to your x-seam measurement. If you're more inclined (no pun) to sit very upright and just cruise around town and be cool, you might need to subtract an inch.
