Top Tools 2012: Milwaukee 6-in-1 Combination Pliers
Why carry six tools when you only need one? Save space in your tool belt with Milkwaukee's innovative combination pliers.
Why You'll Love It: Save room in your tool belt with 6-in-1 pliers from Milwaukee Tools, which can cut and strip wire, cut bolts, ream pipe and make loops. The patent-pending locking thumb switch is easy to operate, and the spring-loaded open means you're always ready to work.
The Full Scoop: You might think there isn't any room for improvement on a pair of pliers, but you'd be mistaken! For proof, check out one of Milwaukee's latest hand tools, the 6-in-1 Combination Pliers. In one tool, wire strippers (0-18 AWG solid wire), wire cutters, a loop maker and needle nose pliers are all integrated.
The reaming head can be used to smooth edges of metal pipe from one half to one inch in diameter, while the bolt cutters can trim #6 and #8 bolts to length. These pliers are a time-saver; whereas you would once need to grab three or more tools, now all you need are the combo 6-in-1 pliers.
A patent-pending one-handed locking mechanism keeps these pliers secure. And they work just as well for righties as for lefties. Forged in alloy steel, the pliers feature a rust-protection coating.
Find them at The Home Depot, Grainger, Ohio Power Tool and many other retailers. Expect to pay about $30 a pair.

Hi my crafty ladies! It's Thursday, time for "Let's Get Crafty" Did you miss me last week? Yes, I know…I forgot! These kids and all their friends are keeping me busy! And eating me out of house and home!
So, today I did a fun and easy project with the little boys. All without even going to the store to buy any supplies! We made "Chalk Paint" I got the recipe from "Family Fun Online" Love that site! Lots of great fun and simple project for the family.
Here is the recipe…
1/4 cup Cornstarch…..1/4 cup water…..few drops of food coloring…That's it!
Now mix it up and get out your paintbrush and find yourself some concrete!
(Don't you love my cute little glass bowls, .25 cents at a garage sale)
Now of course, my boys wanted a road painted with the Chalk Paint…it's all about cars around here. They really loved it. Actually I am typing up this post and they are still playing on the chalk road right out my window!
(Notice the little bits of Homemade Playdough still on my patio, maybe I will teach you that next time.)
Looks like fun doesn't it! Now of course you don't have to paint a road. Paint whatever your little heart desires. Oh and you might have to make up a few batches. My boys have asked me for a few refills. Don't worry about a mess either. Just take your hose a wash it away!


text: Jay Kumar, OutdoorChannel.com Triggering a Windfall Firearm sales could mean record wildlife funding Triggering a Windfall The huge volume of gun, ammunition and archery sales in 2012 should mean record funding levels for many fish and game agencies, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).Nearly all state game and fish agencies get their funding from two sources: license and permit sales, and the so-called Federal Aid program, which collects excise taxes on hunting, shooting and fishing gear and sends it back to the states. This program, administered by the USFWS, is hugely important for states, and this year could be even more so.Steve Barton, chief of the USFWS Federal Aid division, told OutdoorChannel.com that this year his agency will "apportion" (meaning give away to the states according to a formula) $555.3 million for wildlife restoration. That's a record-high figure, a 15 percent increase over the previous high of $484.8 million in 2009.The largest gain in excise tax revenue was in long guns, rifles and shotguns, "about a 60 percent increase in excise taxes over last year," Barton said. "Pistols and revolvers was 55 percent, and ammunition was 30 percent." Archery revenue was flat compared to the prior year (2011), but in 2011 increased 22 percent relative to 2010. Any hunters who have paid even the slightest bit of attention to the national news should know why people are buying guns and ammo – what Barton calls "an election year bump," which also occurred in 2009. He noted the 2009 fiscal year ran from October 2008 (an election year) until September 2009.But according to Barton it's not just that. One factor is "the general economic condition of the country," he said. "When I worked at Idaho Fish and Game we saw that during general economic downturns, we actually sold more hunting and fishing licenses. People tended to recreate close to home, so hunting and fishing were things those people picked up instead of going to Cancun or somewhere for vacation."That fact may be reflected in the 2011 national hunting and fishing survey conducted by the USFWS, which showed a 10 percent increase in the number of hunters over 2006. "We've also seen an increase in the level of folks who participate in the shooting sports," he said – meaning "people who like to target shoot," and "an increase in youth participation. That's been an increasing trend over a period of time."(An interesting observation is that youth interest in archery may have been related to the popular The Hunger Games franchise, he said.)Increasing interest in the shooting sports actually has been a longer-term trend. "Prior to 2009, you could lay an upward trend line on all of the [excise tax] categories," Barton said, "but certainly not to extent of these two bump years. He noted that "the rate of climb on ammunition was higher than the trend lines for long guns and pistols/revolvers," which "reflects an increase in folks participating in the shooting sports."Although all this money is ready to go out to the states, two hurdles remain. The first is the whole federal budget mess, which at this writing remains unresolved. The second is the fact that the states have to match this Federal Aid money to get it, on a $1 state to $3 federal ratio.Barton noted that hunters and anglers can help state agencies do this by volunteering because volunteer time and labor can be valued as matching dollars. "This is a great opportunity for states to do some tremendous one-time habitat acquisition or development," he said. "It's just a matter of coming up with the matching monies to get it done."

The latest OCaml Journal article High-performance parallel programming with HLVM (23rd January 2010) described a simple but effective parallelization of the HLVM implementation of the ray tracer. Comparing with similarly naive parallelizations of the fastest serial implementations in C++ and Haskell, we obtained the following results:
These results exhibit several interesting characteristics:
- Even the naive parallelization in C++ is significantly faster than HLVM and Haskell.
- C++ and HLVM scale well, with performance improving as more cores are used.
- Despite having serial performance competitive with HLVM, the naively-parallelized Haskell scales poorly. In particular, Haskell failed to obtain a competitive speedup with up to 5 cores and its performance even degraded significantly beyond 5 cores, running 4.4× slower than C++ on 7 cores.
The efficiency of the parallelization can be quantified as the speed of the parallel version on multiple cores relative to its speed on a single core:
These results show that HLVM obtained the largest speedup: 6.3× faster on 8 cores. C++ obtained the next largest speedup: 5.2x faster on 8 cores. Haskell obtained the worst speedup: only 2.9× faster on 8 cores.
More sophisticated parallelizations could obtain better performance still. Currently, the parallel for loop over the rows of the image causes each thread to compete for an iteration and results in poor locality: if a thread computes one row then it is unlikely to compute the next. Work-stealing queues and recursive subdivision of the problem space would greatly improve locality and, therefore, performance. Also, the initial construction of the scene tree has some opportunity for parallelization and further performance improvements.
Furthermore, there is plenty of room to optimize HLVM itself and some simple hacks can quantify the possibilities. Disabling bounds checking provides a substantial 20% performance improvement. Disabling the shadow stack (and, therefore, disabling GC) provides another 25% performance improvement. With these two changes, HLVM is only 24% slower than C++. In particular, HLVM's current design makes heavy reuse of its own generic routines even in performance critical sections such as manipulating the shadow stack. Optimizing these routines by hand could leverage some of this potential. For example, by removing bounds checks from manipulations of the shadow stack.

The Mormor Stories are back after a long rest.
The stories yet to be shared concern my grandparents' lives as adults, but there is one last story about my grandfather Carl (whom we kids called Papa) from his teenage years in the Redwood Empire of California, Humboldt County. (If you would like to read my grandmother's previous stories, start here. The whole series begins at this link, in reverse order.)
This is what my grandfather Carl looked like at the time this story took place:
* * * * *
When your Papa was a senior in high school he spent the summer working with the piledriver crew at Camp 19, which was out in the woods a few miles from Korbel, and quite a distance from home base -- Arcata.
After work on a Saturday, Papa, his friends Cecil Ripley*, Buck Townsend, Charlie Harpst, and the boss, borrowed a handcar and went pumping down the track after waving goodbye to the rest of the crew, who had to wait a while for the woods train. Taking a handcar made it possible for the men to get to Arcata earlier than the train did and to stay there much longer, thereby having more time to spend with family and girl friends.
(Original photo stolen from these guys)
In order to make really good time the boss tied up the brake so it wouldn't hold them back, and this was helped by the fact that it was downhill most of the way.
As they went cruising along at a fast clip they came to a high trestle on an S curve. There they spotted a piece of 2x4 on the one rail right at the beginning of the trestle. It must have been forgotten by the crew that had been working there.
There was no chance to stop the handcar so they hit the obstruction. Two of the men jumped off the car, ran beside it, finally falling on the track, picking up splinters and tearing their clothes. Papa was thrown to the track and skidded along the ties, ripping up his clothes. It was lucky that he was able to stay on the track, for the left side was the high side of the trestle, and he would have landed amid the boulders fifty feet down.
(Original photo stolen from these guys)
Cecil was thrown off the trestle and fell by a big rock, just as the handcar headed for him. He did a very quick roll over the boulder to the other side of the rock, which was just in time for the handcar to hit where he had been. The boss tried to stop the car by the handles, but it had too much speed and no brake, so he was thrown up and over the handcar, where he landed in the gully just in front of where the car hit.
The whole group felt lucky that none of them received any serious injury, though they did have to walk the rest of the way to Korbel to catch the train after all. Needless to say they were a raggedy bunch, for their clothes were torn and they were covered with dirt. Of course the rest of the crew on the train razzed them all the way to town.
*Cecil Ripley was one of my grandfather's lifelong friends.

With more than half the world's population living in cities we have been told that cites are where humanities future lies. At the same time, awareness of the future challenges humanity faces are growing. The climate is warming and critical resources such as energy and fresh water are, or soon will be, in decline. The cry has gone out for "sustainable cities" and urban planners the world over are responding. In most people's (and urban planners) minds cities primarily consist of people to accommodate and methods to transport them. Shall we have urban sprawl or people stacked into multistorey apartments along transport routes in "transport oriented developments" (TODs) or some other arrangement? The problem with answering this question is that urban planners have forgotten the fundamental reason thing that allows cities to exist and that will determine their existence in future.
How big is a city? Are we talking about the number of people that live within it or the land area that the city covers? Where does a city end and the "countryside" begin? As we travel outwards from a city we usually pass a zone where housing becomes less dense and fields open up. When the number of buildings is sufficiently few we think we have left the city behind. In the minds of urban planners and most city inhabitants each city is an island connected to other "city islands" by air, roads, rail lines and sea lanes.
The boundaries of cities in medieval Europe were defined by walls built to protect against aggressors. However, conquering armies showed the falsity of this idea. By laying siege to the cities the inhabitants could only survive so long as their food stores lasted. A city simply cannot exist without its surrounding "foodshed". Today cheap and rapid transport fueled by oil brings food from all over the world to large cities inhabited by millions of people. Today, a large city's foodshed is the entire world.
A typical (responsible) daily diet for an average human might consist of 50 grams of protein, 300 grams of carbohydrate and 60 grams of fat, i.e. just over 400g of food. (If you live in the "industrial" world you probably eat considerably more.) This means that, at an absolute theoretical minimum, a city of 1 million people would require over 400 tonnes of food per day. However, this weight does not include fibre, the water content of food or the large amount of waste generated during preparation and left after eating. It does not include packaging. Thus, a city of 1 million inhabitants consumes many thousands of tonnes of food items per day. This food is grown in vast agricultural areas outside of what we usually regard as the city. But if a city cannot survive without its foodshed can we truly regard farms as separate from a city? Where exactly does a city end and farming begin?
Before cities existed humans were nomadic and harvested food from the landscape though which they walked. Only when agriculture developed could people "settle" in one place. However, agricultural settlement itself is not sufficient to produce a city. It is only when farmers produce food surplus to their own needs that some people can give up farming and do something else. Cities are what people do when they are not growing food (or wandering around trying to find it). Put another way, the most fundamental constraint on cities is their food supply. Without a foodshed, and the energy to transport food to the city from it, a city cannot exit.
When was the last time you heard an urban planner talk about the food supply? For most urban planners food supply is an "externality". Is can simply be assumed to happen independent of what happens within a city. But this will not be true in a future, resource-constrained world.
At the height of its power ancient Rome is said to have supported 1 million inhabitants. To feed these people grain was imported from all over the Mediterranean. Every year over 400,000 tonnes of grain arrived at Rome on ships! That is around 1,150 tonnes per day brought to Rome from as far away as Egypt without the use of fossil fuels. However, since navigation of the Mediterranean Sea was suspended during the four winter months this weight of grain needed to arrive at an even greater rate during the 8 months when transport was possible. Rome relied on stored grain to survive the winter.
As described in Merchant vessels and maritime commerce in Roman times:
In Nero's time, the arrival of the grain fleet from Alexandria during the month of June was welcomed as an event of great importance. The merchant ships were escorted by warships and preceded by tabellariae ships, which announced the arrival of the fleet which would release the populace from hunger. Seneca has left us a dramatic description of the excitement that would overcome the crowds in the port of Pozzuoli, in the Campania region.
In today's fossil-fuelled world a city of 1 million is regarded as quite small. Indeed, in the city of Adelaide in Australia where I live, urban planners and developers (and the politicians they sponsor) continually cajole us that our population of 1.3 million is too few and that we are insufficiently "vibrant". (Greater "vibrancy" is the most commonly heard excuse for expanding Adelaide's population but vibrancy is surprisingly difficult to define and even harder to measure.) Apparently, self respect and the vital respect of other cities can only be earned by possession of several million inhabitants. (Interestingly – and inconveniently – these views contrast with the results of a survey by the Property Council of Australia showing that Adelaide's citizens are happier with the "liveability" of their city than any of their bigger-city cousins in the rest of Australia.)
If a city like Adelaide must import many thousands of tonnes of food per day to survive, what of cities containing more than ten million inhabitants such as London, New York or Mexico City? More importantly, how will these tens of thousands of tonnes of food be delivered and distributed every day without cheap and abundant fossil fuels? The cities of 100 years ago had far smaller populations and much closer foodsheds.Distribution of food could exploit the muscle power of animals. In our sprawling modern cities that is no longer possible….
In the last few years, the rising price of oil has led to dramatic increases in the price of food. (The two are intimately coupled.) This led to food riots, export bans and political unrest in poorer parts of the world such as some Asian and Middle Eastern nations where the need to purchase food already claims most of people's incomes. However, in the wealthier industrialized nations where incomes are higher the main concern over fuel prices has been the cost of transport. In particular, rising fuel prices have undermined the household budgets of the residents of the "outer suburban asteroid belts" of sprawling American and Australian cities who have found driving to work increasingly expensive.
The rising price of fuel and the idea that supplies of oil could soon decline has focused the minds of developers and their politicians who can no longer promote urban sprawl as a viable future vision. What to do? In Adelaide the developers sponsored a round-the-world junket for their politicians and senior "public" servants to promote the new vision of TODs where cities will now grow upwards along existing transport routes instead of outwards. In the past years in Adelaide we have seen this new paradigm dramatically enforced as permission for multistorey developments has been rammed through against the wishes of many local councils and the loud (but pointless) protests of our city's disenfranchised inhabitants.
If we ignore the higher energy costs of multistorey buildings and the social failure of previous multistorey urban developments then TODs can appear to be a rational response to higher transport costs due to scarcer fuel. However, there are two fatal flaws in the TOD concept that urban planners have missed.
First, TODs are being used as an excuse to allow further expansion of urban populations. Thus the outer suburbs, although poverty-stricken, will remain in the future while more and more people are crowded into the city centre. There will be no decrease in total fuel or energy use, only a slower rate of increase and the problem of supplying cities with ever increasing tonnages of food from great distances will not be solved. There will be an inevitable conflict between TOD-facilitated population growth and declining fuel and food supplies (with TODs inevitably the loser).
Second, declining fuel supplies are not the only threat to our future capacity to grow food. Other critical and irreplaceable resources – such as phosphate fertilisers that are essential to modern agriculture – are also in decline. Fortunately, while oil can only be burned once, essential nutrients such as phosphate can be recycled as long as we capture our human wastes rather than flushing them down the toilet and out to sea as we do currently. But even if you could capture wastes from TODs, how could you then transport large volumes of this heavy material back to the distant agricultural foodshed when transport fuels are in short supply? The energy to do this simply will not exist.
Cities cannot continue to exist if declining oil and phosphate make feeding them impossible. Is there any solution to the problem of multiple simultaneously declining essential resources? We cannot blithely assume that a solution exists since for many cities the scale of the problem may already be too large to remedy. However, for the sake of discussion let us assume so. There are a number of things we must do. (Urban planners can regard these as design constraints):
1) We need to stop increasing the demand for food. This requires that we stop promoting population growth.
2) We must minimize the distance between food producers and food consumers both to reduce the energy required to transport food and to allow nutrients to be recycled back to food growing land.
3) We must encourage replacement of mechanized agriculture with physical labour.
Obviously these constraints mean that we must grow as much food as possible within cities. Composting toilets will allow us to recapture nutrients and recycle them back to the food growing areas. (Composting toilets also greatly reduce water use and save large amounts of electricity otherwise used for pumping and purifying water.) Alternatively, human wastes can be collected (locally) for anaerobic digestion to produce methane gas (for e.g. cooking fuel) and then the nutrient-rich residue of the process can be used as fertiliser. Food growing both within and close to cities can also provide much needed employment for people whose jobs disappear as the economy contracts due to declining energy supplies.
Cities have one pre-existing advantage over rural landscapes. A city represents a large area with a reticulated water supply that can be used to support intensive urban agriculture such as vegetable growing. But food plants also need sunlight and land to grow on. So open space without shadowing from surrounding structures is essential. Tragically, the city of Adelaide in which I live has very little in the way of park space (~5% of the metropolitan area is parks). Adelaide is a city of private gardens rather than public parks – and those private gardens are rapidly disappearing under subdivisions that leave no space for bare earth. To exacerbate the situation by now stacking people in TODs smacks of insanity. We should be opening up areas upon which to grow food, not building on them.
The city of Havana, Cuba with over 2 million inhabitants is often held up as the poster child of urban agriculture. Over 40% of the city's 721 km2 area is devoted to agriculture. According to cubaagriculture.com:
In Havana, 90% of the city's fresh produce came from local urban farms and gardens, all organic. In 2003, more than 200,000 Cubans worked in the expanding urban agriculture sector.
In 2003, the Cuban Ministry of Agriculture was using less than 50% of the diesel fuel it used in 1989, less than 10% of the chemical fertilisers and less than 7% of the synthetic insecticides. A chain of 220 bio-pesticide centres provided safe alternatives for pest control.
Cuban agriculture has the advantage of a tropical climate and fertile soils but the inefficient state agricultural sector means that this nation is still not self-sufficient in food.
If we are to plan for growing food within cities how much earth must be left uncovered to allow us to feed each inhabitant? The agricultural productivity of land varies greatly according to soil type, climate, water availability, labour input and many other factors so the land required to grow enough food for one person will be different in every city. However, claims have been made of intensive vegetable growing feeding one person from 400 square metres in a climate not so dissimilar to that of many southern Australian cities. When one considers that it is now common in Adelaide to divide suburban blocks down to 300 square metres and then to cover almost all of that space with a house and driveway we can see how far from long term sustainability we have come. (For food and shelter a family of four would need nearly 2000 square metres or two traditional 'quarter acre" blocks.) If world oil supplies decline rapidly we may need to disperse a fraction of our urban populations into rural areas both to supply agriculture with labour and to put people closer to available food-growing land.
In the time remaining before the limitations imposed on us by declining resources become obvious in the western world (they are already undeniable in many developing nations) urban planners need to revise their ideas of what constitutes "sustainable development". Declining oil supplies mean that cities and their foodsheds must be united. Provision of food is the greatest future constraint on city structure.

The popular Lon Humphrey Kephartknife has now been teamed up with FORGED CPM 3V steel (Yes, you read that right... FORGED!). CPM 3V steel is a fantastic steel that provides exceptional toughness and edge holding.
The Lon Humphrey Knives Kephart is a simple, yet extremely practical knife and is a best seller. It is just the right size for most bushcraft/outdoor tasks and it feels great in the hand partly due to its great balance. The blade thickness is .188" +/- making it a very sturdy knife. The combination of the thick blade with a flat grind make it a great slicer as well as a great bushcraft knife for doing tasks such as batoning. The long flat cutting edge is ideal for woodcraft and batoning. The approximately 4.25" long spear point blade with a curved cutting edge at the tip will make quick work of field dressing and carcass breakdown of large game. A new feature on this model is the squared edges on the spine allowing for the use of a firesteel and also for scraping tasks.
Lon Humphrey hand-made, custom knives are the real deal!
Lon Humphrey makes knives the old fashion way by using a forge and a hammer. It takes patience, a keen eye, coordination and manual labor to produce the fine knives that come out of Lon's shop.

Attention Chat Room Users: Please log out of the room if you are going to be away from your keyboard for over an hour. Thank you.
How long you'd like the strap is totally customizable! Some people like the pouch to be by their chest, others like it longer to hang down around their hip/waist area. If you could tell me where abouts you'd like it to be, I can figure out how long to make the strap. Looney was smart and decided to go for the longer strap - she figured if she wanted it up higher, she could just tie a knot in it.
Oops, it seems I never mentioned my new policies! all orders over $50 get a free hammock (my choice!)all orders over $90 get a free hammock (my choice!), and free hooks (or another free hammock if hooks are not needed)all orders come with complimentary tracking numbersGenerally, hammocks are sent out within 24-48 hours of receiving payment. I'm an impatient girl and like to get things done
That is always a plus, yes!
I found the pi-rats fabric today and bought all that they had! Argh, matey, it'll make some good hammocks!

I setting a image using the ImageIcon getResource syntax and I am I having trouble displaying an Image. It works fine when I type the String and not store it in a variable. It displays the picture flawlessly. Now when I try the same thing and store the String into a variable it is unable to fine the file. Let me show you the link of code that is troubling me.
NameofProduct is the Variable holding the String. See I am using JTextField retrieve method to get the data and Store it in NameofProduct,and I then would like it to display the corresponding picture. I have achieved this using the JComboBox my only hurdle is trying to fiqure out away of using the getResource Method to use the String in the Variable and not the variable itself. I hope this makes sense.

Gee's Bend: The Architecture of the Quilt
Edited by Paul Arnett, Joanne Cubbs, and Eugene W. Metcalf, Jr.Contributions by William Arnett, Louisiana P. Bendolph, Mary Lee Bendolph, Loretta P. Bennett, Dilys Blum, Joanne Cubbs, Maggi McCormick Gordon, Bernard L. Herman, Amei Wallach, and Lauren Whitley 2006
224 pages, 11 x 13
330 illustrations, hardcover
This book examines the resurgence of interest in quilting in the community of Gee's Bend, Alabama, and documents the development of key traditional quilt patterns—housetop, court house steps, flying geese, and strip quilting—through the presentation of outstanding examples created from the 1930s into the twenty-first century. Passed from generation to generation, these women utilize the skills of necessity and material availability. Quilt making takes on the highest form of expression and innovation. The quilts represented in this book, none previously presented to the public, demonstrate how the quilters improvise upon the structure or "architecture" of the quilt to create a work of art that is based upon a traditional quilt pattern while simultaneously creating a visual vocabulary that is stylistically identifiable as Gee's Bend. Each pattern is examined with visual examples detailing various interpretations. New works by granddaughters and great-granddaughters of some of the master quiltmakers are presented, along with quilts not previously exhibited by quiltmakers Mary Lee Bendolph and Mary L. Bennett.

I want to create a network analysis more difficult. Therefore, I want to calculate a Service Area around hospitals next to bus stops. But: The network does not only consist of roads and pedestrians (time) but also of bus lines and bus stops. In best case the result should be a augmented service area, which includes bus drives to the hospital in a certain time! I nearly have the solution, but here is the problem. Trying to solve the analyse I realized that several bus stops are not within the calculation. I have checked the topology of the stops and lines and there are no errors (as ArcGIS says). Also the attribute table seems to be correct. I tried to planarize the bus lines but I can't use the tool, as it is not possible to click on it (grey color).
Maybe you have a idea to help me?

On This Day In Oasis History...
"Songbird" is a song by British rock band Oasis, from their fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry. It was released as the fourth single from that album on 3 February 2003 and peaked at #3 in the UK charts. Being written by lead singer Liam Gallagher, it was the first time the band had released a single not written by his brother Noel.
Upon joining Oasis in the early nineties, Noel Gallagher claimed sole-songwriting responsibilities, and allowing little-to-no leeway from the rest of the band. He openly mocked the songwriting output of Liam and Bonehead, who had been in charge of Oasis' songwriting prior to his joining and had written a handful of tracks such as "Take Me" and an acoustic number titled "Life In Vain". Liam elaborated on the situation in 1994, after the release of Definitely Maybe saying "Noel won't let me (write), but I can't really write anyway... In the future if I started writing top tunes, I still don't think he'd be up for it... I know for a fact, even if he was going dry, he wouldn't play my songs... I'm not happy with that, but that's the way it is innit?".
However, after Oasis' third album Be Here Now received a cold reception from music critics, Noel began to loosen his control and allowed Liam to contribute songs. Though his first effort, "Little James" which appeared on Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, was criticised for being too simple and childlike (in particular, rhyming "plasticine" with "trampoline"), Songbird was fairly well received, despite only being based around two simple chords (G + Em7).
The song, written for Liam's girlfriend Nicole Appleton, was seen as a surprising break away from Liam's "Hard-Man" image. He explained this away saying "I like beautiful things...It's not all dark in Liam World. I take me shades off every now and again and have a look at the world and see some nice things."
The simplistic video was filmed in Regent's Park in London, and featured Liam playing an acoustic guitar under a tree, and also being chased by a dog.
Songbird is the shortest running Oasis single, at 2:07.
The song is included on Oasis' 2006 'best-of' album Stop The Clocks.

This is The Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:30 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parse it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?
1st Gear: Ford Banks A 26% Profit Increase
Ford may not sell the most cars, but they get how to make money off of nearly every car they sell (the exception might be the electric Focus). Ford's pre-tax profit of $8.8 billion was up 26% over 2013 and is, according to The Detroit News, probably their best performance since 2000.
As you might guess, most of those profits were made in North America, where they banked $8.6 billion pre-tax with a net income of $7.2 billion.
There's all sorts of caveats and adjustments and special charges, including "favorable tax items" totaling $2.2 billion, but the important thing is they made a shit ton of money.
They also don't plan on making a shit ton of money going forward as they're about to launch something on the order of a trillion new vehicles in 2014 and one of those vehicles is the aluminum F-150.
2nd Gear: Happy Workers Get $8,800 Checks
Old Mr. Money Bags at Ford is going to be handing out either super early, or super late Festivus gifts in the form of $8,800 checks to its hourly workers after the profits mentioned above.
This profit-sharing agreement isn't just something that Ford does out of the goodness of its heart, but something that the UAW got as part of its last negotiations. Lest you think this is unionization run amuck, they made the agreement for good reasons as Karl Henkel makes clear:
The latest profit-sharing formula, developed as part of contract negotiations between the Detroit automakers and the United Auto Workers in 2011, has acted as a pseudo-annual raise for longtime hourly workers, who haven't received a yearly pay raise in a decade. Younger, less-experienced workers, who begin at half the hourly rate of veteran employees, see small wage increases based on tenure at their respective automaker.
The American worker is kicking ass and so is the boss man, and now everyone shares in the profits. Hard to argue with that.
3rd Gear: Honda Exports More Cars From The US Than It Imports
Speaking of the badass American worker, Honda becomes a net exporter of cars from the U.S. for the first time ever. The company exported 108,705 Accords, Civics, MDXs and other vehicles to countries outside the U.S. and only imported 88,537 vehicles.
"This is really a significant milestone for our North American operations — it is really one that has been 30 years in the making," said Rick Schostek, senior vice president of Honda in North America. "For a long time our goal has been self-reliance in North America."
4th Gear: BYD Probably Going To Settle Labor Violations
When BYD got busted for allegedly hiring Chinese workers and paying them well below California's minimum wage in an electric bus plant we were saddened but not surprised.
The Wall Street Journal has the full run-down of violations, but for the most part it sounds like they're going to get most of the charges dropped or settled by paying a number of fines.
As their lawyer says "Our customers are public, political entities and they won't do business with us if we pay sub minimum wages."
5th Gear: Hillary Clinton Is Sadly Not A Grotesque Monster
The problem with making your political opponents out to be monsters is, when they turn out to not have fangs and green hair, people start doubting the bad stuff you say about them.
When it was reported that Hillary Clinton would keynote the National Auto Dealers Association convention in New Orleans this year, a bunch of dealers threatened to boycott the proceedings and miss sleeping with their mistresses because that's how much they feared the former Secretary of State was going to turn them gay, or something.
Well, she spoke last night and everyone loved her. She told stories of carrying a battery into her dorm room at night to keep it warm and about how America is the best and blah blah blah.
Here's the best part though, from Automotive News:
Clinton's speech surprised Austin, Texas, Honda dealer Jim Olmstead and his wife Diana, who hadn't been sure whether they would come or not. They said a number of their dealer peers decided not to come to the speech because they didn't share Clinton's views.
"They missed an opportunity to hear a great speaker," said Diana Olmstead. "I didn't expect to enjoy the speech as I did," said Diana Olmstead. "We're Republicans."
"She was very engaging," said Jim Olmstead.
Asked whether they might vote for Clinton if she runs for president, Diana Olmstead said she wasn't sure.
"I will pay a lot more attention to what she says based on our experience today."
Reverse: The Song That Changed… Nothing
On this day in 2009, country singer/songwriter John Rich releases a song about the plight of autoworkers titled "Shuttin' Detroit Down." The song, which featured such lyrics as "While they're living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town, here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down," quickly became a hit in Michigan, where the U.S. auto industry began, as well as across America. Rich wrote the song after becoming frustrated by news reports of government bailouts for Wall Street companies whose CEOs received stratospheric paychecks while autoworkers struggled to keep their jobs amidst widespread layoffs. Rich, one-half of the country duo Big & Rich, whose hits include "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" and "Comin' to Your City," recorded "Shuttin' Down Detroit" for his 2009 solo album "Son of a Preacher Man." In January 2009, Michigan-based mlive.com reported that Rich said "Shuttin' Detroit Down" was about: "the working men and women of America, and how Washington and New York City are slinging billions of dollars over the tops of our heads, while hard working people are going down the drain." The song became a working-class anthem and had some fans calling up radio stations in tears after they heard it played.
Neutral: What's Ford Going To Do Next Year? Will they take a bath on the F-150 and new launches, hit their target of around $7 billion, or wow everyone?

Obama to Iran: Answer questions on nuclear program
- President Obama sends video message to Iran on the occasion of its new year
- Obama tells Iran%27s leaders to answer questions about their nuclear program
- Agreement could lead to %27new relationship%27 between U.S. and Iran%2C Obama says
WASHINGTON — President Obama told the people of Iran on Monday there can be "a new relationship" with the United States, but only if the Iranian government makes full disclosures about its nuclear program.
"Iran's leaders say that their nuclear program is for medical research and electricity," Obama said in a video message. "To date, however, they have been unable to convince the international community that their nuclear activities are solely for peaceful purposes. That's why the world is united in its resolve to address this issue and why Iran is now so isolated."
Obama made the comments in his annual video on Nowruz, the Iranian new year.
This year, the Nowruz comments came a day before Obama departs for Israel on a trip in which Iran will be a major agenda topic.
Israeli officials say Iran is seeking the means to make a nuclear weapon.
"Since taking office, I have offered the Iranian government an opportunity," Obama said. "If it meets its international obligations, then there could be a new relationship between our two countries."
But the nuclear issue must be resolved, Obama said, adding that he hopes for a diplomatic solution.
"If we can, the Iranian people will begin to see the benefits of greater trade and ties with other nations, including the United States," Obama said. "Whereas if the Iranian government continues down its current path, it will only further isolate Iran. This is the choice now before Iran's leaders."

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Pramipexole belongs to the class of medications called dopamine agonists. It is used to treat signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It is also used to treat symptoms of moderate to severe restless leg syndrome. It helps to improve muscle control and movement by affecting the balance of a chemical in the brain called dopamine.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
How should I use this medication?
For Parkinson's disease, the recommended adult dose starts at 0.375 mg daily, taken in 3 divided doses. Depending on the response to the medication as well as side effects, the dose may be increased every 5 to 7 days to obtain the desired effects. The maximum recommended dose should not exceed 4.5 mg daily, taken in 3 divided doses.
For restless leg syndrome, the recommended adult dose starts at 0.125 mg once daily, taken 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. The dose may be increased every 4 to 7 days to a maximum of 0.5 mg 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. For restless leg syndrome, the safety and effectiveness of treatment longer than 12 weeks has not been established.
Pramipexole may be taken with or without food. You should take it with food if you find that you feel sick to your stomach after taking the tablets.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones given here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin taking a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should take this medication.
Behaviour changes: People taking pramipexole have experienced abnormal behaviour such as compulsive gambling, compulsive shopping, hypersexuality, and binge eating. If you experience these symptoms or any other behaviour change while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Blood pressure: Pramipexole can lower blood pressure for some people. People taking this medication may feel dizzy or lightheaded when rising from a sitting or lying position. Make sure to tell your doctor if you experience this effect. If you have severe heart disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Drowsiness/sudden onset of sleep: Pramipexole and similar mediations can cause drowsiness and sudden onset of sleep or sleep attacks. Sudden onset of sleep can occur without warning or drowsiness. People taking this medication should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery. If you experience any daytime drowsiness or sudden onset of sleep while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Hallucinations: People taking this medication should be aware that hallucinations (mainly seeing things that are not really there) can occur and may affect their ability to drive and perform other daily activities. Make sure to tell your doctor if you experience this effect.
Kidney function: People with reduced kidney function should discuss with their doctor how this medication may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Pramipexole is not recommended for people with end-stage renal disease.
Melanoma: People with Parkinson's disease may be at increased risk of developing melanoma (a type of skin cancer). It is not known if this increased risk is due to Parkinson's disease or to the medications used to treat Parkinson's disease. Your doctor will monitor you for skin cancer while you are taking this medication. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS): As with other medications that have an effect on movement disorders, pramipexole can trigger a potentially fatal set of symptoms known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). If you experience symptoms of NMS, such as high fever; muscle stiffness; confusion or loss of consciousness; sweating; or rapid or irregular heartbeat, seek immediate medical attention.
This is more likely to occur if pramipexole is stopped suddenly or the dose is decreased rapidly. If you are considering stopping this medication, talk with your doctor about the appropriate way to reduce pramipexole.
Restless leg syndrome: When this medication is used to treat the symptoms of restless leg syndrome, it may cause a worsening of symptoms in the early morning hours. It may also cause earlier onset of symptoms in the evening or an increase in symptoms. If you experience this, let your doctor know.
Stopping treatment: Do not stop taking this medication without consulting with your doctor. Stopping this mediation suddenly can cause symptoms such as fever, rigid muscles, and blood pressure changes. If you and your doctor decide that stopping this medication is best for you, your doctor will gradually reduce your dose over a week.
Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: It is not known if pramipexole passes into breast milk. Since the medication reduces the amount of breast milk produced, women who are breast-feeding should not take this medication.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using pramipexole has not been established for children.
Seniors: Seniors may be more likely to experience hallucinations (hearing, seeing or feeling things that are not there) while taking pramipexole.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There may be an interaction between pramipexole and any of the following:
- alcohol
- amantadine
- amiodarone

If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
- stop taking one of the medications,
- change one of the medications to another,
- change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
- leave everything as is.
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription) and herbal medications that you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or illegal drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

I sat down with midfielder Giles Barnes here in Tucson to discuss a variety of subjects, including his mindset this preseason, the proverbial U.S./England comparisons, his reasons for returning to Houston and more. Here is Part II of the interview.
Q: Now in MLS for a few months, are there any misconceptions about the league that you were told before arriving that you think are not accurate?
A: I always kind of knew what the league was about. You do hear from other people who aren't even involved in the league that it is a bit of a retirement-person's league. But I tell you what, there are some great athletes in this league, and that didn't surprise me because I know quite a lot of American people and the American work ethic, and to be athletic is a big thing in America. It hasn't been too far different from playing at home and I only have good things to say about this league.
Q: Major League Soccer has been described as an "athletic" league, with many athletes, good tempo and a high level of fitness and physicality. Do you think that style fits your qualities?
A: Yeah, I think it does. I think sometimes you have to find places which actually suit your way of playing, and I think this league does suit the way that I play. There are a lot of technically blessed players on our team, and there are a lot on other teams as well. Here, you get a mixture of both types of players.
Q: One observation I have made this preseason is that it seems you and Franck Songo'o have combined well in training sessions and scrimmages. Is there anything behind that, or am I just seeing something?
A: We have known of each other for quite a while, as he was in England as well (with Portsmouth, Crystal Palace, Preston North End, and other clubs), and we know quite a lot of the same people. We've been playing "young v. old" in training, and he is on the young side, I am on the young side, and we both play in midfield, so it has been easy to talk with him, and he is a good player as well. I always enjoy playing with good players, and that is another reason I came Houston- it is full of good players.
Q: The Dynamo have one of the deepest midfields in the league, with several international players and a lot of depth in the central midfield. What was your mindset of coming back to Houston and competing for time against other quality players.
A: You've got to back yourself and back your ability, and I've always backed my own ability. I think the six weeks of fitness is going to do me a world of good, and coming in and starting at the same point as everyone else, I back myself to the end.
Q: You've mentioned that on your visit home to England over the winter, a lot of friends asked you about MLS and sought advice for coming to play in the league. Does anything stand out for you as their main interest for playing in the U.S.? Is it the quality of play in the league, or the American lifestyle, or maybe both?
A: I think it is a combination of both. A lot of people do need a change, and the people that I spoke to, have played in England for quite a while and they want to test themselves in other places. They see this as the league where they can come test themselves and play against people from all over the world. It is not just American players over here, you've got great South American players and players from Honduras, Mexico and other places.

WASHINGTON, July 24 (UPI) -- Alaska's Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she was disappointed the government is wary of legislation that would distribute oil production royalties to coastal states.
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee heard testimony on the so-called FAIR Act, legislation that would give coastal states a share of federal royalties from offshore oil production.
Pamela Haze, deputy assistant secretary of finance at the department of the interior, said the White House couldn't support the legislation. She said coastal states already benefit from oil and natural gas development, adding the proposal would "reduce the net return to taxpayers in every state" from offshore energy.
"In addition, the bill does not appear to be targeted to achieve clear conservation or energy policy outcomes," she said in her prepared remarks Tuesday. "For these reasons, the administration cannot support the bill."
Murkowski, a Republican, co-sponsored the bill with Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. The Alaskan senator said she was dismayed by the government's stance on the measure.
"Coastal states and communities are impacted by and share the risks of energy development off their shores, just like states with development on federal lands within their borders," she said. "It is only fair that they be similarly treated."
Murkowski in February published a 121-page proposal calling for independence from Middle East oil by 2020 through more domestic drilling.

ISBE rates school districts on their fund balance and expenditure-to-revenue ratios, days of cash on hand, and percentage of remaining short- and long-term borrowing ability.
Of Illinois' 852 school districts, 632, or 74 percent, earned the state's "Financial Recognition" designation, suggesting they are fiscally sound.
The other 26 percent statewide, of 220 districts, received lower marks from ISBE, suggesting they need work:
154 (18 percent) are under "Financial Review"
47 (6 percent) were given an "Early Warning"
19 (2 percent) are under "Financial Watch", including Chicago Public Schools and seven others in the Metro-East.
In DuPage County, 32 of the county's 36 school districts (88 percent) earned the "Financial Recognition" designation.
Aurora West Unit School District 129 was the only district placed under "Early Warning."
3 districts -- Batavia Public School District 101, Bensenville School District 2, Downers Grove Community High School District 99 -- were placed under "Financial Review."
No districts were placed under "Financial Watch."
ISBE reports that districts are increasingly "borrowing to obtain needed cash flow" and "continue to issue long-term debt to sustain day-to-day operations."
Schools are "continuing to break even or are spending more than they are realizing in revenue," the report says.
Illinois public school districts issued $307.2 million in long-term debt in fiscal year 2015 versus $356.5 million in fiscal year 2014. In 2015, 499 -- or 58 percent-- spent more money than they took in, borrowing or using taxpayer-provided reserves to cover the deficit.
ISBE's "School District Financial Profile" was first issued in 2003.

I currently use scholar.google.com to find papers in cases like Sophus Lie's original papers on "Transformation Groups". Does anyone know of other places that collect original works like this, i.e. works by those such as Weierstrass, Riemann or Lie describing the ideas that they originated. scholar.google.com isn't "bad" per se, I'd just like to look up just those papers and not every paper on the same topic.
I have access to many journals so that isn't so much the problem as knowing where to look.

A perspective: developers vs Microsoft
Most people understand that Windows is used by a variety of people who have a variety of needs, ranging from corporate server to workstation to POS terminals to home PC and beyond. Most people accept that whenever Microsoft updates Windows, it has to balance the competing requirements to find some kind of workable compromise. There is however another set of competing requirements that many do not really register, even those that call themselves power users or are IT admins. It is a conflict between developers/programmers and Microsoft itself.

I see a smiling face. I had to tilt to see it the right way around and on the bottom right hand corner, there is an orb :) inside the orb, a smiling face. And I see the beautiful pink ray of light shining down upon her resting place, almost as if love was coming down from heaven. That's beautiful.
Hugs to you

Thank you all for your comments ! I love this pic so much that I had one blown up and it hangs on my wall. It's beautiful and mysterious at the same time. I have always thought perhaps an Angel because my mother in law collected them. Even her China cupord she kept them in was esp made for her t had Angel carvings in it . All her children pitched in to have it custom made for her.
nice picture..
i see something like an angel or is it your mother in law spirit and i think the gate of heaven is opening and welcoming her soul
