Alternative Teasers
Switch baiting in New Zealand predominantly revolves around trolling hookless, artificial teasers as the main weapon for raising billfish. Although artificial teasers have many advantages, there are some situations where 'plastics' just won't raise fish. It can be extremely frustrating when you're marking marlin on your sounder or watching them surface feed right beside your boat, yet nothing you have out can raise a fish, no matter how many times you change skirt colours or lures heads.
Sometimes even live baits won't do the trick; even a trusty Blue Mackerel (Koheru) can't get a bite. This commonly occurs in New Zealand waters when billfish are chasing oceanic Sauri or Sanma as they are called in bait shops.
Sauri are very fast swimming baitfish and really challenge billfish when they're being chased, it can be hard to break an excited and determined marlins attention from a school of fast moving baitfish to your less active live bait. Although this can provide fisherman with some spectacular surface feeding visuals, it can be a little frustrating at times. Sometimes you feel like you're chasing your tail, just as you deploy your baits all the action dies down only for it to occur again 400 meters away, before you can reel in and get over to it, it dies again.
Some experienced fisherman may say, "If you hang in long enough with your live bait, you'll get a bite". Well, I don't disagree with that at all, but here is an option that I sometimes run as a short corner teaser. It enables you to stay a bit more mobile, you can run it in a lure spread in reasonable weather and it's really effective for raising Striped and Black Marlin.
This teaser consists of a daisy chain of no more than five or six dead baitfish, when rigged, it looks very similar to a school of Sauri skipping through the water. I usually use small but hard baits, such as small mackerel that are too small for live or pitch baits, although the softer Piper (Garfish) and Sanma will do as long as you check them regularly when trolling in choppy conditions. Its important to only have a few small baits on your daisy chain, it looks more effective and so you can reel it away from an excited marlin in time to pitch your bait.
Firstly, you need to make up a daisy chain 'backbone' that can be stowed away with your lures and leaders at the end of a days fishing. I use no more than a 5-foot length of 400 – 450lb mono for the backbone and five 10-centimeter arms that are crimped at equal spacing along the mono. When crimping the arms in place, you should position the arms forward rather than behind the crimp, as this will give the baits more spring and action when trolled. Now on the end of each arm and on the tail of the backbone I crimp on six older, used snap swivels that can be used to clip on and off baits as they become washed out, touched up by billfish or at the end of the day. Without the snap swivels making up daisy chains can be time consuming and a waste of perfectly good monofilament. Finish the Backbone with a basic crimped loop at the top end of the chain.
It's common to gut and gill dead baits when preparing them for use, this improves bait flexibility and reduces the rate of decomposing. In this case it isn't really necessary as the baits used on the daisy chain are pretty disposable and fresh ones are easily rigged.
Start rigging your bait by taking approximately 60 centimeters of waxed thread or dacron. Fold the length in half so you have two equal lengths and at the bended end make a small loop by tying couple off half hitches. The loop only has to be approximately the size of a twenty-cent piece, big enough to be attached to the snap swivel.
The loop has to sit at the point of the fish's lips, make sure that it's center as this is the towing point of the bait. Now with your bait needle pass one tag end down through the fish's skull, usually ¾ of the way back to the eye socket and as centered as possible. With the remaining tag end pass it up through the fish's throat and out the same hole as the first in the opposite direction. Now with two tag ends tie them off firmly on the side of the fish's head.
From here you take one tag end and pass it directly through the front of the fish's eye socket with your bait needle. With the second tag end and bait needle, pass it under the original stitching on the top jaw (this stops the stitching tearing out of the head) and back through the eye socket opposite to the first tag end. Once again tie the two tag ends off firmly with a couple of half hitches under the fish's head.
You need to now pass each tag end through the strong pectoral fin joints, again in opposite directions to each other and then finally do a couple more half hitches to finish off on the underside of the fish and trim the remaining tag ends.
Finally, I usually 'cross stitch' the body of the bait. I start at the pectoral fins, and sew through the backbone three or four times the length of the body and back to the starting point and finish with a couple of half hitches. This just holds the bait together if a marlin does grab your teaser. I don't get to fussy about this, as you don't want it to become to time consuming. Once you've rigged half a dozen quick baits, clip them on to your backbone and there you have your teaser. I usually have a few spare so when the baits either become washed out or (hopefully) damaged by a marlin they are easily and quickly replaced.
This teaser can be trolled in a lure spread in nice conditions through too much slower live baiting speeds and still be effective, on a couple of occasions I've seen billfish swim past two perfectly good live baits to have a look at a daisy chain of dead mackerel.
Other options for this rig include artificial baitfish or squid that can be purchased at some of New Zealand's better tackle stores. These also work really well and have their own advantages, but sometimes the taste of dead bait in a teaser can excite billfish a lot more than an artificial. Rigging baits can be enjoyable and rewarding if you're well organized. This rig is quick, easy and effective, you maybe able to come up with your own improvements, give it a go next summer when other options aren't raising fish….Good luck!

Thousands of people around the country move to out of state locations each day. That's the way the United States has always been. No one sits still for long and it seems we're always improving and going somewhere in life. That's exactly the way life should be. A move can be exciting, stressful, but most of all, it should be rewarding. To make everything go as smoothly as it can, it's good to plan things out before ever lifting the first box into a moving van. If you're moving from one state to another and have more than one vehicle, chances are you're going to need a more cost effective way to transport your vehicles. Auto transport services have sprung up around the nation to help people save money on shipping their cars and trucks across country.
Businesses such as used car dealerships also use these services. They're called "open transport" services and if you ever see one of these collections of cars going cross-country you'll quickly realize why they're called that. If you will notice them, there are many of them secured in the truck bed at one time and the back is "open" to the air and thus makes for more economical shipping. Businesses and residential customers will all get different pricing options. Since businesses buy and ship in bulk, they're likely going to get a higher overall total but a cheaper per-car total, while someone moving from one state to another may only be transporting one or two vehicles, but they will have a lower overall bottom line.
Moving large vehicles doesn't have to be a stressful experience. It's all about finding a high quality open transport company and hiring them to do the job from start to finish. More and more people are turning to this method of transportation and saving big bucks by doing so. Cost effectiveness isn't the only reason to go with this method of shipping either. You'll find that these services are extremely open to compromise and flexibility in payment and that they will do everything they can do make sure that your cars and trucks are safe and sound during their long journey, even if it's from one end of the country to another. Anyone who hasn't checked out open transport services and plans to move very soon should do so. Businesses will especially love the pricing.

Fall 2004
Section to Hold 2004 Fall Meeting and Special Election
The Section Council will hold its fall meeting on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 14-15, 2004, at the ABA offices in Washington, D.C. (740 15th Street, NW, 9th Floor Conference Room). The meeting is open to all Section members in good standing. The Council will meet from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday and from 9:00 am to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday.
The Council also will hold a special election during the fall meeting to make interim appointments to Section officer and Council member positions vacated by Chair-elect John D. Podesta and Council member Harlan A. Loeb, and any other position that may become vacant as a result of the election (see details below). The special election will take place on Friday, Oct. 15, at 1:00 p.m.
Under Article III of the Section's bylaws, when a Section officer or Council member vacancy occurs, the Council may make an interim appointment until a successor is elected at the next Annual Meeting. Should the Council fail to make an interim appointment, the position shall remain vacant until the next Annual meeting.
Unlike annual elections -- where the Section's Nominating Committee submits a slate of candidates for consideration by the Section membership -- no candidate endorsements will be made by the Nominating Committee or any other Section entity for this special election. Instead, the Council will consider all nominations submitted in writing and received by the Section office by Wednesday, October 6, 2004, and signed by the nominee and at least one other Section member. Nominations will not be accepted from the floor at the time of the election. All nominations received by October 6, 2004, shall be announced to the Section Council by Friday, October 8, 2004.
The outcome of the special election potentially may result in additional officer and Council vacancies. For example, should a current officer or Council member be appointed to one of the vacant positions, his or her present position will become vacant and also must be filled by interim appointment.* Therefore, nominations may be submitted for the Chair-elect and Council member positions, and any other positions that may become vacant as a result of the election. All nominations should indicate the position for which the person is being nominated.
*Note: Section Vice Chair Paul M. Igasaki has indicated his interest in the Chair-Elect position and Section Secretary Robert E. Stein has indicated his interest in the Vice Chair position, should it become available.
If you have questions regarding the Council meeting or the special election, please contact the Section office (202/662-1030) or visit the website at www.abanet.org/irr.

Just 40 minutes after launch, 1,000 people had already customized their page, opening the door for Weather Channel to funnel geographically targeted ads from clients ranging from Baltimore-Washington International Airport to Ameritech.
"For the first time, we know who people are," said Todd Walrath, director of product development at Weather Channel.
Like many so-called "geotargeting" systems being tested around the country, this is just the beginning. Mr. Walrath said the Weather Channel would like to be as specific as offering allergy updates in specific areas, with ads for locally available medication.
"That kind of local content, would just bring more value to an advertiser, instead of going into a national bucket," he said.
Until now, Web sites have relied on two major methods to discover a person's location: asking and observing.
Sites that register their users ask them to disclose their ZIP code, along with demographic and psychographic information. Similarly, users disclose personal interests when they visit sites supplying weather forecasts, phone listings, maps and city guides.
Observation is another major method that companies use to target. Ad network DoubleClick, for example, deduces someone's locale by examining things like the IP address of a user's computer (which tells where it is located) or a digital ID assigned when one enters a site.
How valuable is geotargeting? While it's the most commonly requested device in DoubleClick's bag of targeting tricks, it can only go so far in reaching an appropriate consumer.
Delivering an ad for an auto dealer to someone who has created a weather map of Denver is only valuable if the person who sees that ad is in the Denver area. If he's not, it's a wasted impression.
For many sites, geotargeting is just one piece in a marketing puzzle that's increasingly turning toward targeting by demographic and psychographic profile as well.
John Gaffney, director of marketing at Aptex Software, believes the future of geotargeting will be in combining openly disclosed information with observation.
Aptex markets SelectCast, a tool that helps sites target users by comparing characteristics of people whose profiles are known, with unknown users who exhibit similar behavior.
Mr. Gaffney said SelectCast will add a geography component to its software later this year.
Another targeting technology company, StarPoint Software, does geotargeting through ZIP codes, but predicts that until there are ways to pinpoint users more finely, other means of targeting may be more appropriate.
"Yes, we'll see more geotargeting," said Virginia MacLean, director of corporate marketing. "As the box opens, it'll open very quickly." Once advertisers see what's available to them, "You'll see customer demands for more complex and complete types of targeting."
Charles Conn, CEO of local online network CitySearch, believes that making too many geographical assumptions could actually be doing a disservice to consumers.
How far somebody might drive to visit a restaurant varies from city to city, he said. "I'm more excited about asking people what they want, rather than infer what they want," Mr. Conn said.
Regardless, geotargeting will continue to grow, but how far marketers are able to take it, or any other advertising tracking technology, may be up to the privacy pundits, who are wary of sites knowing too much about people.
Aptex's Mr. Gaffney believes there are people who disclose everything, and that data will follow them around the Web like a passport. Others will only share information occasionally.
But no matter what kind of targeting people want to do, there will always be "people who won't give their Social Security number out. No matter how the Web changes, they'll block the [targeting] and they'll need the right to do that,"

Everything in moderation, including moderation. The extremes of markets are the stuff alpha is made ...
Conditions Favor Trend Trades in These Currencies

Focus: FOREX
Continued surges in Japanese yen volatility expectations leave us in favor of breakout and trend-based trading systems. The US dollar sees itself in a similarly consistent downtrend against the euro and other key counterparts; dollar trend trades remain attractive, writes David Rodriguez of DailyFX.
A surge in Japanese yen volatility expectations has lifted our DailyFX Volatility Indices to five-month highs, and we believe markets are ripe for further high-volatility trading.
The Japanese yen has tumbled to multi-year lows versus the US dollar, and forex options traders predict that JPY volatility will remain elevated through the foreseeable future. We recently called for an important USD/JPY correction as an opportunity to get long (short JPY), but a two-day pullback quickly gave way to further surges.
Japanese Yen Implied Volatility Expectations Remain Elevated
It's difficult to advocate getting short the Japanese yen (long USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, AUD/JPY, etc.) given its extreme declines, but current volatility readings and forex trading crowd sentiment favor continued weakness. How might we get short JPY?
Given that it is psychologically quite difficult to buy the USD/JPY and other yen crosses at such elevated levels, we will look to our trend and volatility-friendly automated FX trading systems to produce attractive trading opportunities.
Beyond the Japanese yen, volatility has been more limited. Yet a fairly consistent US dollar decline versus the euro, Australian dollar, and Swiss franc leaves us in favor of USD-short trend trades.
DailyFX 1-Month Volatility Index versus S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) 2011 - Present
Past performance is not indicative of future results, but our "Momentum2/Tidal Shift" system and "Breakout2/Breakout Opportunities" strategies have outperformed on key US dollar and Japanese yen currency pairs. View the full breakdown of our strategy preferences by currency pair below.

orange & turquoise
I'd never heard of the "Clipper" brand of lighters and noticed the URL had a dot.eu appended to it, so I looked it up; Clipper is based in Barcelona, Spain. There's an official site for the UK but not for the US. Upon a bit more searching I found these lighters are favored by pot smokers and except for online retailers are usually only found in head shops in the U.S. Judging from the prices listed on Amazon these lighters cost about twice as much as the disposable lighters I usually find laying around. This one's so cute with that Texas boot on it I'll probably keep it with my collection of miscellaneous junk after it stops working.

Mid Century Table Lamps
I love looking at old table lamps, and I usually wonder where and when they were made. I found this page from an old book on interior design printed in 1954. I was surprised to see one of my favorite lamps, the "Modern informal" in the upper right corner. I see them on ebay now & then and I've bid on several of them without success. I have a pair of table lamps, probably from the 1960s that I'm pretty happy with, but someday I'd like to replace them with a pair of those "modern informals". I don't think I've ever seen one with its original shade, but it's nice to know what it looked like. Vintage shades seem to be harder to come by than the lamps themselves.

you'll shoot your eye out, kid
One of the most memorable lines from A Christmas Story , repeated numerous times to Ralphie, the kid who only wants a Daisy Air Rifle BB Gun for Christmas.
Amateur etymologist that I am, this is another one of those phrases I wonder about. Where did it come from? How did it become so commonly used by parents of a certain era? And more to the point, what is its modern parental equivalent in these days of video games where kids are probably shooting out lots of other peoples' eyes online? Or maybe they're in the park pointing a real-looking toy pistol at passersby. Whaddaya say to them?

Salty and Peppy were made in Japan, most likely by Woodpecker Wood Ware Products. Woodpecker also manufactured wooden salad or nut bowls, kitchen & bar-b-que tools, bread boards and canister sets. Some products had an embossed gold colored logo on the bottom and some have a stamped black logo. My two shakers only have a stamped black circle with "Made in Japan" inside, so I don't know for sure they were made by Woodpecker, however, they do resemble the shakers in old ads.
I found Salty & Peppy and other Woodpecker Ware advertised in newspapers from 1954 to 1964. The ads also featured many products with a rooster motif, such as this wall hung knife holder I found on ebay.
The most unusual Woodpecker item I found on ebay was this little three-legged bowl. So Atomic!

put it in your pipe and Smoke It
I remember hearing this expression off and on since childhood, though not so much lately. I found this 1950 ad for Briggs Pipe Mixture and it set me off to the internet seeking answers as to the origin of this most pithy comeback. I looked at the Cambride dictionary, the urban dictionary, pipe-smoker forums, and lots of other sites, who mostly just got it wrong.
The best explanation I found was at WordWizard, a site new to me. It listed three early uses of the phrase, to wit:
1824: "PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT" - in the play "Americans Abroad, Or, Notes and Notions: A Farcical Comedy, in Two Acts" by Richard Brinsley Peake.
1840: "For this you've my word, and I never yet broke it, So PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE, my lord Otto, AND SMOKE IT! from the poem "The Lady of St. Odile", part of the Ingoldsby Legends by R. H. Barham.
1947 "That's what you think. I'm engaged to her, so PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT." from one of the short stories in the collection "Creatures of Circumstance" by W. Somerset Maugham, published about July 1947.
I verified that the above works did indeed contain the quotes cited by Word Wizard. I want to note they are all British sources, and this expression I heard was always used by American peoples. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest the origin for the American use of this phrase is probably good old Life magazine.
1950: "If your pipe talks back ... PUT THIS IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!.." - Briggs Pipe Mixture ad in Life Magazine - Jan 23, 1950

Turner Wall Accessories
A while back I fell in love with a curio shelf someone posted on the Retro Renovation site, and since then I've made a point to notice other things made by its maker, Turner Manufacturing Company. Turner Mfg. was based in Chicago and turned out hundreds of thousands of wall accessories, mainly from about 1949 to about 1977. The products were carried in furniture and department stores, even five-and-dime stores. Chances are good if you were middle class in that era you had a Turner product on your walls. They were everywhere. I couldn't seem to find as much info as I wanted about the company, so I collected some bits and pieces from out there on the web and looked through old newspaper files. (latest update Dec 5. I am still adding material to this post.)
The earliest mention of Turner I found was from an April 1949 ad for White's Auto Stores in Austin, Texas. Turner was listed in a "miscellaneous" category which included Illinois Moulding, Simmons Baby Furniture, and Federal Wood Carving, among others. (White's was also selling Deena Lamps for $4.95 and a Kroehler set of sofa-bed & chair for $119.) I also found a September 1949 ad mentioning "Turner Pictures" for Westrich's in Delphos, Ohio; and a December ad for Blackwelder's in Statesville, NC. The Blackwelder's ad included the first illustration I could find for a Turner product.
|1949 illustration for Turner ad
|1951 Turner ad illustration
numbers stamped on the back. A few items like sconces may have a number embossed on the back.
About 1955 Turner began advertising more frequently in newspapers across the U.S. Many of its products were made of "Turnerwood", a composite of molded cellulose acetate and wood fibers. The content of Turnerwood wasn't mentioned in any ads until the 1970s. Turner began mostly with framed reproductions of classic paintings and artists who seemed to work exclusively for Turner, such as Cydney Grossman, Robert Woods and Arthur Miller. Clocks, plaques and curio cabinets followed.
Turner's heyday seems to have peaked about 1960-62, at least judging by the amount of newspaper advertising. By 1965 there were no more Mother's Day ads, and few ads at Christmas, their main advertising season. By the late 1960s their main product seems to have been mirrors, and mirror sets that included two sconces and/or a console table. There were some modern art pieces, and some of these were "back painted" on glass. Turner also flirted with the manufacture of furniture a few times, like their Capri line of Mediterranean coffee and end tables in the early 1970s.
In 1972 Turner Mfg. was acquired by International Multifoods Corp. of Minneapolis, Minn. At that time Turner employed about 700 people and was expecting to reach $14 million in sales. Turner may have been in trouble by 1975; a legal notice (which I was unable to decipher) was listed in a Chicago business journal in May of that year. I could find no newspaper ads for Turner products after December 1977 until October 1980, when an Indiana discount store was selling off what was left from the Turner factory.
I thought it would be fun to try and date some of Turner's products, so that's what the rest of this post is about. I'll post illustrations & descriptions of products. If I find color photos to match I'll add those too. And at the end is a list of stores I found that carried Turner products over the years.
SAFETY ISSUE: Many Turner products had a brass ring at the top. You'd think it was made to hang up the picture, but that's not the case. You may need to find a different way to hang your plaques if they don't come with something already made up.
PS This is turning out to be a bigger project than I imagined. I will post this just to get the info up and add to the products as I find them.

Two very special Metallica shows will happen at the Berkeley Community Theater on April 21 and 22 in San Francisco, CA. The show will feature Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra as conducted and arranged by Michael Kamen.
Lars says of the show: "What happened was, about a year and a half ago Michael Kamen got in touch with us. Through working with other rock artists of the last ten years like Peter Townsend, Eric Clapton, Kate Bush, Aerosmith and so on, he has done a lot of projects where he has sort of married the world of rock and symphony together. Michael came to us with a proposal of basically taking Metallica's music and marrying it to the San Francisco Symphony with Michael being sort of a middle man conducting it and writing it."
Michael Kamen has previously worked with Metallica on "Nothing Else Matters," he has worked with several other rock bands notably Pink Floyd, David Bowie and Aerosmith.
The symphony will be made up of 104 members, and include "Metallica being Metallica" playing songs spanning the band's 17 year career. The San Francisco Symphony has previously played a show similar to this with The Grateful Dead.
James says of the new presentation of their songs "It's new in the way that it hasn't been presented in this way" but he hints that "a new composition would be nice. And if we find the time to do that, that would be extra."
Lars suggested the possibility of several songs adjusting to this new setting including "Enter Sandman," "Devil's Dance," "Fight Fire With Fire," "Nothing Else Matters," "Hero of the Day" and "The Outlaw Torn" of which he says "we listened to it yesterday and were really surprised at how optimal that song might be for this kind of project. So, I think there will really be some sideways stuff thrown in there."

Take these precautions against Zika in Puerto Rico.
It is important that when vacationing, you know the details of diseases or viruses that can be found in the place you're visiting. The truth is that there is no cause for alarm, as long as you are aware of the effects, precautions and information from reliable sources. At the time, according to statistics from the Department of Health of Puerto Rico they have only confirmed 54 cases of Zika in Puerto Rico and have not reported any deaths.
Here are the four precautions you should consider during your stay in the island:
by My Puerto Rico Experience
- Use insect repellent.The Zika is a virus that is transmitted through the mosquito Aedes Aegypti. If you will be spending time on the beach or visiting some forests in the island, you should use mosquito repellent
- Use long-sleeved shirts and long pants in mountainous areas.If you're visiting forests as El Yunque, Guánica Dry Forest or other mountainous places you should use this type of clothing to avoid mosquito bites
- Use mosquito nets and wire mesh.If you're planning to camp on the beach or a mountain, use a wire mesh or nets to prevent insect bites and mosquitoes.
- Avoid being close to ponding water.The mosquito that transmits the virus, lives in places where water wells up. If you're visiting caves and lagoons, you must wear appropriate clothing that covers your whole body, in addition to always using mosquito repellent.
Other highlights:
- • Compared with other viruses, the clinical picture of Zika is mild.
- • The mosquito bites during the day and evening.
- • Acute symptoms resolve within 4-7 days.
- • It is characterized by acute fever.

How great is it that we are privileged to live in a country where we can participate in our government? Even though I think I would make a g r e a t president of the united states, it's probably not going to happen (just imagine how bangin' the white house interior would be, we'd have the best designed country). i'm rooting for obama (hello universal health care)- and i think you should too, but party lines aside, it's incredibly important to VOTE! voting is CRUCIAL to the process (the argument about voting being useless because of the electoral college is w e a k). i've been volunteering with the democratic headquarters here in savannah- and i'm going to start helping register voters this SATURDAY (july 26) when HOWARD DEAN is going to be speaking at the YMCA at 110 May St. how exciting! i have a bunch of registration forms and would be happy to register you!
ALSO: SCAD STUDENTS! did you know that if you're going to school here in GA, you can register to vote here? that's so great because a) you won't have to deal with absentee ballots b) you get to actually go to the polls (which i love) and c) you get an I VOTED! sticker to cherish forever.
for realsies let me register you for nov. 4! it's historic!

The Toombullup East School Site camping area is one of several overnight sites that have been established in the low-key Toombullup Ranges, which lie to the south-east of the small town of Tatong, south of Benalla. The former school site is in bushland about 30 km from Tatong down the Tatong–Tolmie Rd, about 2 km beyond another campground at Stringybark Creek. Forest walkers will enjoy the isolation here, while those with 4WD vehicles will find plenty of local territory to explore.

A girls' school in Saudi Arabia has defied a religious ban on female sports by erecting basketball hoops and allowing pupils to play at break-time, the daily al-Watan has reported. Powerful clerics in the conservative Islamic kingdom have long spoken against permitting girls to play sports, with one senior figure saying in 2009 it might lead them to lose their virginity by tearing their hymens. Saudi Arabia's austere interpretation of Islamic law prevents women from working, opening bank accounts or having some elective surgery without the permission of a male relative. They are not allowed to drive.

Great design and hidden screws make this a must-build project.
By Glen D. Huey
Pages: 30-31
From the November 2009 issue #179
Buy this issue now
If you've perused the pages of our sister publication, Woodworking Magazine, you might have seen this piece in the Spring 2005 issue. We dug through the archives to find a fine bookcase, then did a bit of construction modification to allow the design to better fit the "I Can Do That" column. And that's something you should be on the lookout for as you read woodworking articles or skim the pages of your favorite catalogs. Find a piece you like and see what changes can be made to match the construction to your skill set and tools.
For this piece, we eliminated the complicated shelf joinery, and we adjusted a few sizes to better accommodate the lumber dimensions found at home centers. But by and large, this bookcase is close to our originalproject and a great piece to build.
For material, you'll need an 8′ piece of 1 x 10 for the sides and one shelf, and a 1 x 10 x 4′ for two shelves, the braces and one toe kick.Crosscut the material to the required length, then rip the braces and toe kick.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- No one would accuse Terrell Suggs of being shy or quiet.
The fourth-year linebacker/defensive end is one of the most boisterous personalities in the Ravens' locker room, and that passion spilled out during the team's 20-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium yesterday.
After tackling Kansas City running back Larry Johnson, Suggs mocked the league's second-leading rusher by flashing Johnson's "dynasty" sign, which the running back usually reserves for celebrating touchdowns.

Students have library weekly. They are able to check out an unlimited number of books. At the end of the year, all books and videos must be returned. Any books or videos that are lost or not returned must be paid for, and no other books or videos may be checked out until payment is made. Student report cards will be held until the fines are paid in full.
The internet is a valuable resource for students and staff, providing current information, instructional materials, and opportunities to develop research skills.
We would like all of our students to have access to these resources. However, if a parent or guardian is uncomfortable with their student accessing the internet at school, the parent or guardian may complete and return an Internet and Electronic Communication Exclusion form (IM-131). The student would then be prohibited from using the internet at school. The forms are available in the school office, and online on the district website's Frequently Requested Forms page.

"You still will not fall? You are truly the embodiment of filth. Nonetheless... just as darkness is pierced by light, your defeat is part of the natural order of things. Now learn of the humans' filth and its powerlessness before my light!"
Merkabah (メルカバー, Merukabā)? is a demon in the series.
The throne chariot of God. It is a four wheel vehicle driven by the chayot which are living creatures with four wings and four faces. According to Ezekiel it is a chariot made of many angels driven by the "likeness of man." Merkabah is made of many Ophanim, Seraphim and Chayots.

Shin Megami Tensei IVEdit
"I am the Lord's chariot...the seraph Merkabah. Foolish ones who churlishly refuse the hand of salvation that the lord has extended to you...I shall reduce you to ash for the sake of a new millennium of order."
After the events of the Monochrome Forest in the Law Path, Jonathan and Flynn awaken at the new Cocoon of Shene Duque and are greeted by the four archangels, who call the place the new Mikado Castle. They are informed of Lucifer's return and of how the Yamato Perpetual Reactor has been turned on, releasing hordes of demons upon Tokyo, who would seek to break free through the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado.
Unwilling to allow this, the four have sealed Naraku; but they lack the power to strike against Lucifer. To reach the necessary power to do so, they ask one of the two prentices to fuse with them to summon the Chariot of God, Merkabah, a being powerful enough to fight Lucifer himself. Though Jonathan is horrified at the archangels' plans of annihilating Tokyo and at the fact that whoever enters the fusion will be killed in all but name, the prospect of ensuring Mikado's safety and stability for all eternity is enough to convince him to enter martyrdom by sacrificing himself to Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel and Michael, summoning Merkabah.
In the Law route, Flynn and Merkabah defeat Lucifer to prevent further corruption of the people of Mikado. After that, Merkabah overloads the Yamato Perpetual Reactor to destroy Tokyo with a black hole, killing both himself and Flynn in the process to purge their own taint. In the Chaos route, Flynn and Lucifer defeat Merkabah in order to overthrow the Millennium Kingdom. In the Neutral route, it is revealed Merkabah is created from the Great Spirit of Goodwill which is being used by the angels to blindly preserve. Flynn and Isabeau team up kill Merkabah to retrieve the Great Spirit of Goodwill in order to reawaken Masakado to his full form.
Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse Edit
"Sometimes called the "heavenly chariot" or the "throne of God." Described as having four faces and four wings in Ezekiel. There is also a form of meditation that invokes Merkabah used to connect to a higher realm. The ritual is quite dangerous, so caution is advised"
Jonathan had agreed to enter martyrdom, and sacrificed himself to the archangels, leading to Merkabah descending down into the world; and began the war against Lucifer. Their conflict reaches even Tokyo. This later changes with the appearance of Krishna, the leader of the Divine Powers. Krishna claims that he is here to save humanity, in exchange for them offering their souls. Merkabah and Lucifer rebuke him by saying that humanity is their property, and reluctantly form an alliance to deal with the group of polytheistic gods.
It is eventually revealed that Merkabah, along with Lucifer, are actually two halves of the being known as Satan. Created for the purpose of serving YHVH, Satan split its essence into two beings for the purpose of starting a pointless war in order to keep its creator in power. However, Satan grew to doubt God, and upon learning that the Great Will created Nanashi and Flynn as saviors, he decides to test them in combat. In the Anarchy Ending, Satan helps the two kill YHVH, despite knowing it would mean his end. In the Peace Ending, Satan restores life to Jonathan and Walter, long enough for them to defeat YHVH.
Merkabah, along with Lucifer, can be fused in the Cathedral of Shadows as a New Game Plus demon.
