Brazing is becoming an increasingly popular joining method and especially for aluminum and its associated alloys using vacuum brazing techniques.
Some key advantages of vacuum aluminum brazing is its flexibility to join materials of varying shape and form and also its possibilities for joining dissimilar materials.
Along with welding, brazing is becoming an ever more important technique for joining materials. Many products made of aluminum, including aluminum alloys can only be economically manufactured using brazing techniques.
The unique feature of vacuum brazing is that the aluminum oxide cannot be removed by the vacuum. The mechanism of the brazing process is as follows: The coefficient of expansion of aluminum is about three times as great as that of aluminum oxide. That's why the oxide layers crack up on heating and the liquid brazing alloy can pass through these cracks down to the bare base material.
The aluminum oxide layer becomes mechanically detached. Oxidation of the aluminum in the cracks during the heating phase can only be prevented if the atmosphere is completely devoid of oxygen. As a result, there is not only a minimum requirement put on the level of the vacuum (10-4 mbar or better) but in addition getter materials must be used to scavenge the last oxygen atoms from the atmosphere around the component to be brazed. It must be clear that although feasible such a process is difficult to carry out. That's why vacuum brazing is a less commonly employed technique than brazing with fluxes.
The vacuum aluminum brazing process is usually a relatively short cycle due to the fast pumping and heating characteristics of the furnace, the excellent temperature uniformity at soak temperatures, and the high thermal conductivity of the aluminum parts being brazed. Figure 1 shows a typical vacuum aluminum brazing cycle.
Brazing has many advantages when compared to other metal joining processes. Given that brazing does not melt the base metal of the joint, it allows for more precise control of tolerances and provides a clean joint with no need for additional finishing. The meniscus (crescent shaped) formed by the filler metal in the brazed joint is ideally shaped for reducing stress concentrations and improving fatigue properties.
Ideal situations for brazing:
Vacuum aluminum brazing is ideal for oxidation sensitive materials; vacuum brazing is considered a flux-free process that eliminates corrosive flux residue. Post-brazed parts are clean with a matte grey finish. The process is relatively nonpolluting and no post-braze cleaning is necessary.
Examples of Vacuum Aluminum Brazed Parts Examples of vacuum aluminum brazed parts often include heat exchangers, condensers, and evaporators used in automotive, aerospace, nuclear, and energy industries. Some of these parts are shown in Figures 2, and 3.
Typical vacuum aluminum brazing furnaces are either singlechamber (batch type) or multiple-chamber (semi-continuous). Batch type furnaces are usually loaded horizontally, but can be designed for a vertical loading operation. Semi-continuous furnaces are horizontally loaded and are typically automated using load carriers and external conveyor systems.
Batch furnaces tend to be simpler in design (one loading/unloading door) than semi-continuous furnaces, less expensive, and easier to maintain. Semi-continuous furnaces have higher production rates because of the multi-chamber design and operate more efficiently by not having to cool heating zones or heat cooling zones. Example of batch type and semi-continuous type furnace is shown in Figure 4.

Jurassic Park is coming to Canada. Not the zone outside the Toronto Raptors arena that thousands of fans jammed in June. According to a B.C. production list, the third film in the rebooted "Jurassic World" series will be partially shot in Metro Vancouver between Feb. 24 and March 6, 2020.
Chris Pratt will reprise his starring role along with Bryce Dallas Howard, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, Sam Neill and original cast members who have been announced for the trilogy's final instalment, directed by Colin Trevorrow. Specific filming locations are not yet known, but a working title, "Arcadia," has been released. (In "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," Arcadia was the name of the boat that shipped dinosaurs from Isla Nublar to auction.)
Aside from Vancouver, filming locations listed on IMDb include O'ahu, Hawaii, Malta and Pinewood Studios in London, England.
The planned release date for "Jurassic World 3" is June 11, 2021.

Our tart and refreshing homage to raspberries, Rubaeus, is softened up and rounded out with the infusion of nitrogen. The smooth, creamy mouthfeel gives the assertiveness of the raspberries a moment to linger on the tongue, bringing out a deeper, more complex richness to the beer. Brewed with pale wheat malt and crystal hops to allow the raspberries to shine; this is a fantastic way to enjoy Rubaeus year-round.

Many people dislike their boss. Few have the quick video editing skills of disgruntled former and current ABC News employees.
Gawker has this video of new ABC News president Ben Sherwood's first speech to his staff, in which vimeo user "Roone Arledge" has interspersed title cards with unattributed allegations, like that he lied about his mother being sick in order to leave Good Morning America before he would have been fired, that Disney/ABC President Anne Sweeney did not consult anyone else before hiring Sherwood, and that he is "shallow and cloying."
You'll remember that Sherwood is professionally repugnant, but we're not dying to have a beer with these bitter video makers, either. Based on the commentary on The Observer's last foray into ABC's management, ABC News employees are an anonymously and vocally malcontent bunch.

You can read about Belle Lamunion, 1864-1848, and her amazing box of family memories here. Belle married Henry H Fellows, 1858-1905 in 1879 in Ashland Township, Newaygo County, Michigan.
This series of posts will center around the approximately 405 items in the box which are in my possession. I scanned the items one at at time as they were picked up from the box, in no particular order; and so the scans are not arranged by date or any other method. The posts will be numbered according to the order of the scanned item in my files. It may be that the posts will not appear in number order, especially if extra investigation is needed regarding a given item. So, just to be clear, the cards, clippings, photos and other items that were in the box will be described one at a time, and titled with the file number of the item's scan.
You can read about the characters whose names appear in the box in Cast of Characters . If you are related to this family, please contact me.
Post mark partly off card, but year is 1947. Addressed to Mrs Bell Tinker, Manton, Mich, Route 1

A. In order to generate an invoice/price quote we must have a valid customer's account to attach it to. Then, when the invoice is paid your software license(s) can be activated immediately.
What is a 'Legacy Product'? Legacy products are our older outdated product lines. We maintain them on our website for backward compatibility and as a courtesy for the many customers around the world who still use the product. While HermeTech will continue to support these great products we have discontinued maintenance on them so it is highly recommended that, if possible, you purchase (or upgrade to) an equivalent UltraPort product if available.
Effective 1 July 2016 (NZDT) HermeTech will begin charging a fee for moving licenses for all legacy products to a new computer. The fee charged will be 20% of the current retail price of the legacy license being moved if paid online or 30% of the current retail price if paid via "manual" invoice (IE Purchase Order). As MS Windows operating systems have moved on and away from our legacy products the extended support necessary for customers using these older products has necessitated this action. There are conditions under which this charge might not apply to you, Contact Customer Service if you have any questions at all.

Tonight's episode of One Tree Hill will mark either the season or series finale. The CW network isn't scheduled to announce their upcoming renewals and cancellations until Thursday but we should know the show's fate tonight.
One Tree Hill began as the story of two half-brothers, their relationship, and their romances. Longtime castmembers Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton left the series last year. Many expected the series to quickly fold but some believe it's found a new life creatively. The current cast includes Antwon Tanner, Austin Nichols, Bethany Joy Galeotti, Jackson Brundage, James Lafferty, Lee Norris, Lisa Goldstein, Paul Johansson, Robert Buckley, Shantel VanSanten, Michael Grubbs, and Sophia Bush.
While it's looking promising that One Tree Hill will return for season eight, the cast and crew weren't taking any chances. They filmed two endings — one to end the season and one that would cap the long-running series. The version that you'll see tonight will be determined by the network's choice.
The stars have been understandably hesitant to talk about either possible ending. However, Grubbs recently told Zap2It, "If there's another season, we'll hit you with a crazy twist… Look, the ending we'll use if we get another season is just so insane. We could never use it as the series finale, with these twists and turns, because we could never do that to the fans and not wrap it up. It would just be evil."
If the show is cancelled, Lafferty has a message for the show's faithful fans. He told TV Guide, "Thank you. It's because of them we're still here. A show can't stay on the air if it doesn't have viewers, but our viewers have always gone above and beyond. They've always gone the extra mile to keep the show on the air and to let it be known they're watching the show. All you can really say is thank you to the fans, and they've really helped define what the show will be remembered as. It's just not this cult hit; [it's] truly a show that has staying power and a generation identified with."
What do you think? Would you like to see One Tree Hill to return for season eight or is it time for the show to be cancelled?

"On the chick magnet scale middle aged, bald and happily married isn't noticeably higher than middle aged, bald, fat and happily married. Also, I've come to realize that living too long can be a whole lot worse than dying in good time. So what I'm saying is I'm not very motivated to lose weight, and haven't been for a whole long time. … Still, when I read about the Shangri-La diet, I just had to try it out. The claims were just too outrageous, and I just could not see any downside. It was a 'just gotta check this out' kind of thing. After three weeks, I didn't know how much weight I'd lost because I never weigh myself. But I'd taken my belt in a notch(and now I'm down a second notch). … I'll be on this regimen forever, I think, because of one reason. I have lost the constant urge to eat, and that is real freedom. I realize that sooner or later I'll hit the new dynamically balanced set point and this blissful state will fade somewhat. But until then I'm really enjoying it. I'll never be able to report how much weight I've lost, but as far as I'm concerned, I've lost something that was far more terrible than weight – that enthrallment to food." — webster
"I had a pleasant morning in Court (no I'm not a defendant I'm a lawyer). An old friend of mine who is now a judge hasn't seen me for about three months. When I appeared in front of him today for a hearing, upon seeing me he immediately tagged me with the nickname 'Slim' and referred to me in court several times by that name instead of by my real name. He's being more than generous since I'm still far from slim, but I may spend the money to order a transcript of the hearing just to have as a trophy. The first recorded appearance of 'Slim for the Defense.'" — Weston
"I had read an article by Seth Roberts years ago in Chance magazine (kind of like Reader's Digest for statisticians), but when I saw his book mentioned in the Freakinomics blog, I decided to order it and try the diet. It really has exceeded my expectations. The weight is melting off, and hunger has not been a problem at all. I probably sound like one of those glassy-eyed shills on an infomercial, but it's the truth. The data are coming direct from my scale every morning. " — pelkabo
"I just got back from town where I got many hugs from people I had told about SLD. In fact the lady at the health food store ran from the back of the store to hug and thank me for telling her about the diet." — patsi
"McDonald's Fries: I had a completely unique experience yesterday. While out for a lunchtime walk, I stopped at McDonald's and grabbed a side salad and a small fries to go with my lunch. I got back to my office and got distracted. By the time I remembered and went for the fries they were completely cold and I only had a few before tossing the rest. I have never "forgotten" about McDonald's fries before." — Rich
"It's amazing not to feel my hunger increasing as I lose weight. The whole experience of weight losing is different. Usually it is like holding your breath underwater—the longer you go without air, the more massively you need air. Usually the longer you are on a diet the more hungry you are. This is so strikingly different. Formerly, if I was trying to get down, I would be, say, terribly hungry at about 170 pounds and never able to get below it. It felt like trying to hold your breath for four minutes—the body just won't let you. Now I suspect that this barrier at 170 pounds probably won't be there when I get to 170. " — orwell46
"I have had a huge drop in both blood pressure and pulse rate. My blood pressure was usually about 140/85 – 90 and my resting pulse was about 100 – which quite worried me and no-one had an explanation for. Since starting the SLD my blood pressure has dropped to 120/80 and my resting pulse is down to 78. How amazing is that!! Given that my dad died last year of a brain heommorage and my mum has had a stroke I am justified in having been worried about this. Not to mention being overweight myself with chronic inflammation and a permanently raised CRP (a marker for heart disease). This benefit of the diet may be the best yet. And I'm pretty sure that it's not weight loss because my blood pressure only went down in the past (on Atkins) when I weighed about 30 lbs less than I do now. Plus, I've tracked my blood pressure and pulse down over the last few weeks and it's been descending slowly, as if in response to the oil. It's very strange, but fan-bloody-tastic if you ask m " — spacehoppa
"Now, suddenly, I can cook and eat with unadulterated pleasure. I foresee a whole new generation of foodies, foodies who just plain love food, no guilt attached." — barleyblair
"This diet continues to amaze me. I am now down to 182 pounds, having lost 15 pounds so far in 43 days. I continue to drink 3 Tbsp of canola oil per day and eat whatever I want. The thing is, I don't want that much" — pelkaboo
"I've been doing this and listening to others doing this since last September, and we all say again and again that it frees us from all sorts of intake cravings and addictions. … People struggling with eating disorders have posted and said they feel much more freed and sane. Smokers have posted saying it helps them quit. … Seth could be on to something much bigger and better for humanity than he or any of us suspected. " — Ann H
"I started somewhere around May 3, and got serious the next week. start = 170.5. now [June 3] = 162.5. I have been feeling so great and proud of my new control. Food won't rule me again (or so I thought until a setback tonight). The suppression at times is amazing, and I have been skipping meals no problem – especially dinner. I cook and eat every meal at home, and I have been making much healthier choices… just because thats what I felt like eating, rather than because I know its what I 'should' eat. " — julienuce
"I began yesterday afternoon and was absolutely shocked at the IMMEDIATE change in my food cravings. I had the tblspn of oil an bour before eating my lunch/dinner (at 4pm) and DID NOT CRAVE anything the whole day!!! I am still shocked. But in order to not starve my poor body, I had a frozen Minute Maid lemonade at the cinema instead of popcorn around 8pm. This morning, I woke up and ate a usual breakfast (2 scrambled eggs, english muffin, 2 pieces of turkey bacon). I took 1 tblspn of canola oil an hour afterwards. Even after going on a walk on a very sunny day (today), I came home and still have NO appetite when I would usually be ravenous. I AM SHOCKED!!!!" — Leda
"I am in Week 4. … I remain totally uninterested in food. … What's wonderful is how little I'm spending on food and how easy it is to go the market now. I don't have to give myself a rehearsed lecture about why I shouldn't buy Cinnamon Toast Crunch because I don't want it anymore. The supermarket seems so wild, like a museum. I mean, who would want all of that? Whose stomach could possible hold all of that? (I find myself wondering as I wander the isles) Truth be told, I used to want all of it and consume all of it. " — PBJ
"I was talking to someone about the diet and trying to explain how freeing it is not to have to have cravings or being compelled to over eat but it sounds too easy she said all I could say is it is." — patsi
"The most exciting thing (for me) is I was having MAJOR TROUBLE with compulsive, emotional eating prior to starting sld. It is greatly reduced and I am feeling 'close' to being 'at peace with food.' I had just about given up on feeling 'normal' about food ever again. WOW. " — Jane Ann
"I'm 5'1″ and 100 pounds, which is a normal BMI and where I'd like to stay, but I really did have to starve to keep myself there. I didn't start SL to lose weight, rather to see if I could maintain my weight while eating like a 'normal' person, and it has worked beautifully for me. While I do still think about food (that's par for the course when you've got an ED), I get ridiculously full so quickly that it's difficult to take in more than a normal portion size at any given sitting (no more bingeing!). I've also become more rigorous about eating non-processed, whole, low-glycemic foods, and the combination of those changes and the oil has been very powerful. The upshot is, I'm eating the healthiest diet in the world, and not gaining weight. It's truly amazing: this has achieved in a few weeks what years of shrinks and medication could not—go figure!" — srlygrl
"I started at 242 pounds. … First week, we (my husband aka Stink Ape, also a veggie and also with 40+ pounds to lose) used ELOO. … We both experienced sharp reductions in appetite and cravings by day three. At the beginning of the second week, I was at 238. I weigh on Mondays and have now been 234, 230 and 226 on successive Mondays. … My grocery bill is lower. I love to cook and was already making most everything fresh every night anyway. Few processed foods, no sugar, but we already didn't eat sugar. I'm exercising everyday (DDR and SLD=the geek's weightloss system!) and have a weird feeling that I'm calling 'creeping euphoria.' " — Rabin the Cat
"All my cravings have disappeared, when I get hungry I eat something healthy and fill up with about half the amount I used to eat. At the office and at home I now have various spices and mixtures and always sprinkle them over my food to keep changing the taste. I haven't been to the gym in a while and I miss it, but my weight keeps going down anyway. The method works, it is becoming part of my daily routine." — jc
"I started this on Thursday (It's now Sunday). I did 3 Tblsp. and noticed the effect of not being hungry almost right away. Another 3 the next morning and it was like a miracle. I'm usually VERY hungry in the morning but my appetite was just gone. Same thing Saturday and today " — Cheryl B
"Missed the [Dennis Prager] interview with Seth but heard the tail-end of a discussion Dennis had with a listener who was raving about what the diet had done for her. Dennis was in agreement. So I ran to the internet and got the particulars, took a tablespoon of ELOO and immediately started preaching the Miracle of Shangri-La! It was slightly embarrassing when friends would ask how long I had been on it. I lied and said a day – it had only been eight hours but, hey, without SLD, I normally would have done a great deal of damage in those 8 hours. It's now been a week and I've lost three pounds. I love the luxury of choosing finer foods now that I'm no longer compelled to eat everything in sight when dinnertime comes around. The Monster has been rocked to sleep " — Ranchopam
"This may be like will power, but I never had will power so I don't know. I have won't power now. If I choose to eat I can eat, for sure. If I choose not to, I just don't and it doesn't bother me at all. … If I don't start I won't continue, and not starting is now so easy. " — Denise
"I've lost 12 pounds since April 1 because I haven't been able to taste or smell (started with some severe allergies whcih still haven't cleared up.). … I have been out to eat several times since then, even buffets, but I only eat normal amounts. … I came across the Shangri-la info yesterday while reading a blog and knew Seth Roberts was on to something." — katep
"Something's happening … It's not that my appetite is going down necessarily, it's that after I eat about 1/3-1/2 what I'm used to, I start feeling bloated and I'm "discouraged" from eating any more. Believe me I WANT to eat more but I already feel full. … This is frightening(ly effective). It's certainly enough to keep me going since I'm incredibly curious what's going to happen next! " — Friarjohn
"I had a most unusual experience this afternoon. I had errands to run and on the way I thought a Quiznos sub would sound good. I had no breakfast, 2 TBL of oil this morning and a little fruit and veggies just before lunch. I drove past Quiznos. No. Drove past Chipotles. No. Drove past a new Japanese soba shop. No. Happy Panda. No. Each of these had food that really appeals to me, but I just didn't see a need to stop … 3 weeks in and 6.5 lbs off and I think there is really something to this "diet". " — splitbamboo
"This isn't really a diet it is a new beginning in the world of food." — patsi
"To anyone who would like to quit smoking also, I encourange you to try it. I smoked for more than 20 years, up to two packs a day, and quit cold turkey last Sunday…with barely a craving since! I did have some dizziness and have been grouchy as a bear (which is actually my normal disposition, so nothing new), but all in all, it has been the most painless attempt ever and I think it must be the Shangri-La Diet." — Sherrie
"I was in the bulk food store yesterday. Saw the dark chocolate covered almonds, went to buy some and then thought "do I really want them?". The voice in my head said "Nah, not really…". I didn't buy them. Felt good. The voice in my head has never, ever said that before. " — Seena
"After two weeks on the SL diet, I have managed to drop 5 lbs going from 230 to 225 with my goal being 200 lbs. Surprisingly, my girlfriend has also managed to lose 4 lbs even though she isn't on the diet! I think she has benefited from the fact that I have reduced the portion sizes of the meals that we cook. Also, when we go out to eat, we've cut back on ordering appetizers. … If this keeps up, I'd like to think of it as a "collateral effect" of the SL diet! " — J Loo
"I went to the anniversary sale of one of my favorite boutiques, and they had all sorts of French macaroons, red velvet cupcakes, mini-quiche, and champagne….I saw it, I thought about it for barely a second and then I said "nah, no thanks" …. This is a big deal for me, and much more than a minor victory, because I love fine food and I have never, ever, ever just said no and to not even taste anything…..Amazing." — lwagnero
"I am trying to be nonchalant about my lack of appetite and lack of interest in food, yet I am consumed by my lack of appetite and lack of interest in food and keep running to the computer to post about it." — Victoria
"People are posting methods of how to take [the oil] without it being so gross. I just chug it down, because after the very first day, I finally for once in my life had real hope." — Denise
"My appetite has been decreased, but more importantly, I'm not constantly thinking about food. How wonderful to live life just like "normal" people!!!" — tinagr
"I kept the weight off … until my mom and mother in law both passed away at the end of 2004. That's when the emotional overeating really kicked in and it's gotten progressively worse since then. The oil has made a HUGE DIFFERENCE in my cravings. It's a miracle, as far as I'm concern" — Jane Ann
"I also tried it out on my 15 year old daughter who has a terrible habit of snacking on junk food before she goes to bed. She is not really overweight by any means but I would like to help her from developing weight issues when she gets older. A few days ago she wanted to eat some cookies an hour after we had dinner with dessert and I said OK you can have as many cookies as you like but I want you to take a tablespoon of ELOO first and if you still want the cookies after an hour has passed, you can. She agreed and after an hour I went into her room and said, an hour has passed are you ready for the cookies?? She thought about it for a minute and said no I don't want them any more." — tekayla
"On Saturday, I went downtown to buy a present. Walking down the street with all the bakeries, shops, ice cream stands and stuff, something inside me told me to eat. Again and again. "Burgers ahead! Get one, quick!" – "What is that smell? French fries? Yummy!" – "There's ice cream around the corner". This was the inner voice I wouldn't have been able to resist a week earlier – but on that day, influenced by fructose, I realized that I was not hungry at all. I just walked home and ate an apple. That never happened to me before, it was kind of creepy – and a real eye opener." — Kat
"I just ate half a sandwich and I'm stuffed. I never eat just half a sandwich. This is so foreign but wonderful." — Denise
"As a result of taking the oil every meal is like Thanksgiving. I just ate a slice of pizza and I feel like I had the entire pie." — Munchie
"I'm feeling a little hungry … but surprisingly, amazingly, there is NOT a bag of Hershey's kissables in front of me. No! They are all downstairs, tidy and safe in the vending machine. In fact, there are several large bags of candy mere feet away and I don't want ANY! Amazing. Amazing." — xt92879
"Today I started Seth's Diet. Today I have my first glimmer of hope in ten years. There's no other word for it but MIRACULOUS! My unstoppabble hunger was stopped in its tracks today. … I have never seen anything like it in my 46 years on this planet. If it continues like this I am personally going to find Seth and give him a huge hug. This is absolutely weird but wonderful! " — tammy
"I felt like I had hit the jackpot the first day I was on it." — tekayla
"I am a 49 year old woman who is 60 pounds overweight. After several failed diet attempts, I was starting to think it wasn't possible to lose weight at this age. Yesterday, after reading about the Shangri La diet online, I decided to give it a try. I took a tablespoon of ELOO at 10 am, and 2 more at 3 pm. Ohmigod. I ate one slice of pizza for dinner, followed by a small square of chocolate and didn't think about food for the rest of the night. I have NEVER, repeat, NEVER eaten only one slice of pizza before! LOL. And the best part? I was down two pounds this morning" — Victoria
"Crazy spicing is working beautifully. I am pushing the envelope by spicing foods in unfamiliar, experimental, and sometimes not very yummy ways. I am back to a state of 'food indifference' that spells bliss, or at least easy diet" — Sarah
"Started the spice-thing last week. Unbelievable, the effect has been probably more dramatic than my initial, very positive experience with the sugar water — my appetite has plummeted and the amount of sugar water/oil I use/need has dropped in half." — SFC
"Once the effects of this method become visible, I look forward to seeing how the people react who always told me "to just be more disciplined". Let them wonder where my newfound "discipline" comes from. Perhaps Yoga???" — jc
"Have I changed my eating habits? Yes, I have. I'm back to truly enjoying what I eat." — Echo
"I love this b/c the thing is that I've been eating what I want … I am not always perfect about taking the oil either." — lisalgreer
"I have only been on it a couple of days already I have a couple of pounds off, and I have some control. I always lost control in the evenings, and this is the third evening and so far I have not been snacking, and do not want anything. … This is so easy and so cheap and so exciting." — Mary Kelly
"Went to my local supermarket today, found that the 17oz size of Berio EVOO and ELOO were on sale, two for one. … The ELOO was completely gone, the EVOO barely touched." — spiritu
"The first day I used the oil I thought I would gag. Yuck!! From reading these forums I learned how to do it in a way that is not so bad." — Melissa

Northern Michigan Events: I like to tell my husband that my kitchen is in that crawlspace," says Nan Lickteig of Honor, MI, referring to the $60,000 worth of emergency repairs required to keep the crawlspace from flooding. Nan and her husband Marty bought their dream home along the Platte River, not far from Traverse City, five years ago. She's been planning her kitchen renovation since then, strategically preparing her deployment of every Ultimate Up North Kitchen Tour like a military exercise.
In a round about way, the military not only spirited Marty and Nan away from Northern Michigan, it brought them back. Nan grew up in Leland and Marty graduated from St. Francis. Marty spent 20 years in the military and then took a civilian job at the Pentagon in Washington DC. Nan too, worked at the Pentagon. And they talked about retiring home to Northern Michigan.
The 9/11 attack on the Pentagon struck the "wedge" where both Nan and Marty worked. Luckily it had just been renovated and most of the employees, like Nan, had not yet relocated back into the new offices. Marty's company was not so fortunate and he lost 7 colleagues that day. Marty himself was out of the office early and was on his way to the office when Nan called to tell him the news.
"9/11 took a toll on us," explains Nan. And when his company first offered Marty his retirement paperwork, he filled it out without even calling her. "He kinda jumped the gun; it was sooner than I expected. He came home and told me, 'Well, I've retired, let's go back to Michigan.'"
Renovating the kitchen would have been her first project, except the flooded crawlspace and other emergencies demanded immediate attention and budget. With those projects behind her, Nan dreams of better organization in her cabinets.
"I have to crawl in some of them to reach what's inside," she complains. And she'd like a pantry, so she'll move the laundry room into the garage. There's a bathroom that's attached that needs to be redone as well.
Nan has attended all three of the Ultimate Up North Kitchen Tours. The couple tries to fit in as many kitchens as possible in the day, but sometimes they haven't gotten all the way Up North to the Petoskey area kitchens. She tears apart the preview issue of Northern Home & Cottage, putting a sheet of paper next to each kitchen where she writes her notes. She staples the cards of all the contractors on the sheet so she knows who did what work. When she can, she tries to talk with all the National Kitchen & Bath Association designers, admitting that sometimes designers are busy talking with others and they have to move on to hit all the kitchens within the day. But that's okay because she sees them the next year.
For her fourth Ultimate Up North Kitchen Tour, Nan is interested in a couple of the kitchens in the Charlevoix area that are her taste. And she wants to take the Ironton Ferry described in the preview issue of Northern Home & Cottage, so they'll see the East Jordan home. And the Leland kitchen interests her, too. After this tour, she plans on putting all the images of what she wants on a poster board so she can share her vision with the kitchen designer. Nan thinks she has it narrowed down to three designers, hoping to decide who will renovate her kitchen after this year's tour.
From her windows, Nan watches the ducks on the Platte River. A dozen deer cross her property regularly to get to the Platte River, or come from upstream, walking in the water for her entertainment.
"I came home for all the reasons I left 40 years ago," says Nan. "It's quiet, there's nothing to do but swim and hike, and when we were young that wasn't enough. A lot has changed in 40 years. Now, Traverse City has so much entertainment: the Traverse City Film Festival, Interlochen, the big acts that come to the casinos …" says, her voice trailing off. Then excitement sends her voice up an octave and she exclaims, "There's everything that anyone needs here."
Including a home on the Platte River where one can watch the ducks and plan a new kitchen.

Editor's note: Sorry folks, all sold out! Stay tuned for our next Grab Bag and/or limited time special!
We're offering a limited time only Grab Bag of random parts, which is sure to make the geek and packrat in all of us cry out in glee.
We estimate the retail value on the parts included in this Grab Bag at over $100!
We've been cleaning house around here, moving out older products bringing in new… and during this spring cleaning we realized we were ending up with a large supply of very cool little gizmos and random parts. Rather than try and sell it piece by piece, we figured it would be fun to divide it all up evenly (based on value) into 30 Random Grab Bags!
Now these Grab Bags are a dream come true for tinkerers and experimenters alike. Since these parts were just going to gather dust, we figured we would mark them down to an insanely low price to get rid of them ASAP. We're going to keep the contents a mystery as that's half the fun of a Random Grab Gag… but I will say that all of them have at least $20 worth of aluminum parts alone.
The last time we did something like this these Grab Bags flew off the shelves, so get them while they last. You don't find deals like this very often! We only have 30 Grab Bags available and that is it.

Story highlights
NEW: Obama says extending tax cuts for all but the wealthiest "the best thing for the economy"
Like the speaker's office, the White House says "lines of communication remain open"
Boehner says "spending is the problem;" Democrats say the rich should pay more
Stocks fall amid uncertainty about the political impasse over the fiscal cliff
Facing a looming deadline to avoid the fiscal cliff, President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner met Thursday for their first face-to-face talk in four days.
Boehner arrived for the previously unscheduled meeting just after 5 p.m. ET, a few hours after claiming Obama had failed to offer a serious compromise to prevent the fiscal cliff's automatic tax hikes and spending cuts set to take effect in less than three weeks. He spent about 50 minutes in the White House before returning to his office.
A White House official and Boehner's spokesman then issued near identical statements, calling the Oval Office meeting "frank" and saying the "lines of communication remain open."
The meeting didn't spur Boehner to change his plans to return to Ohio on Friday, one of the speaker's aides said. The House is scheduled to end its current session that day, but Majority Leader Eric Cantor has told lawmakers they could be working longer than that with the fiscal cliff still in limbo.
The inability to reach a deal, thus far, reflects Democrats and Republicans' underlying divisions about the size of government and how much the wealthiest Americans should pay in taxes.
For all the public posturing and private talks, there are fears failing to avert a crisis – which has been two years in the making – could spur another recession. The possibility is spooking holiday shoppers and investors, with stock values falling due to the fiscal uncertainty despite otherwise upbeat economic news.
Boehner on Thursday said the president hasn't signed on to a plan that "is truly balanced and begins to solve our spending problem." Republicans have said 71% of every tax dollar now goes to support Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, as well as paying interest on the national debt, claiming the cost of these items would equal all federal tax revenue in 2026 unless changes are made.
"The president wants to pretend spending isn't the problem," said Boehner. "That's why we don't have an agreement."
One simple, controversial fiscal cliff fix
Minutes before he spoke, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi argued Obama and Congress already cut spending in budget battles of the past two years. Simply cutting more, she said, could hurt the economy.
"You're not going to reduce the deficit by … only cutting your way to it because you will cut the prospects for job creation, which produce revenue," Pelosi said.
At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney complained Republicans haven't offered details on which deductions or loopholes they would eliminate to raise revenue. Regardless, he reiterated Obama will only agree to a deal if it involves tax rates going up for the top 2% of Americans and extending tax cuts for all others – a proposal some Republicans have said they're open to, but not Boehner.
"That's the best thing for the economy, the best thing for American families," Obama told CNN California affiliate KCRA of his plan. "That will take the edge off things. We'll still have to deal with some deficits and debt problems, but it means 98% of Americans, 97% of small businesses will not see their taxes go up."
The two sides have exchanged counteroffers that include two shifts by the White House. Democratic sources said Obama lowered his revenue demand from $1.6 trillion to $1.4 trillion and also added changes to the corporate rate to his proposal involving income taxes.
Obama and Democrats want Boehner to hold a vote on the president's tax plan to extend tax cuts for income up to $250,000 for families, which the Senate passed. Some House Republicans have said they'd support the measure, which the Senate passed, and Boehner avoided a direct answer when asked Thursday about a possible vote.
Boehner argues that raising taxes on high-income earners "will hurt small businesses."
Some small business owners interviewed by CNNMoney said they'd continue with plans to expand even if the Obama proposal gets passed and raises their taxes. They hate higher taxes, but say they'll endure it. And the Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs of major corporations, dropped its opposition to the Whit House plan on Wednesday.
"If your business is good, you'll grow it. We'll figure out a way," said Chelsea Sloan, who started the Uptown Cheapskate retail franchise. "Business owners who say they'll stop hiring if tax rates go higher are blowing smoke."
Sen. Ron Johnson conceded Wednesday on Fox Business Network that Obama "holds all the cards" since he can veto any bill. "So we may have to do a fallback position where we're just trying to minimize the damage," the Wisconsin Republican said.
At the same time, Johnson said Obama and fellow Democrats haven't shown they intend "to limit the rate of growth in government."
How people are prepping for the fiscal cliff
Democrats consider entitlement programs to be the foundation of the social contract with Americans and therefore question pushes to cut them. Instead, they insist the programs can be strengthened through improved efficiency and other reforms, such as the $700 billion in Medicare savings under Obama's 2010 health care reform law.
Is the tea party ready to deal on fiscal cliff?
Polls consistently show the public favors Obama's position of raising taxes on wealthy Americans in order to minimize cuts.
Nearly half of Americans – 49% – approve the president's handling of the talks, compared with 25% who say Boehner is doing a good job, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Wednesday.
Meanwhile, a Bloomberg National Poll found nearly two-thirds of respondents, including nearly 50% of Republicans, believe Obama's re-election gave him a mandate to seek higher taxes on the wealthy.
Businesses hate higher taxes but say they'll endure it
Regardless of which side of the debate citizens fall, experts agree most everyone will be affected if a deal isn't struck. Two former Senate majority leaders said Thursday both sides must be ready to compromise.
"The simplest way to put it is that we're at 24% spending, we're at 16% revenue," said Tom Daschle, the former Democratic senator from South Dakota. "We've got to bring those two closer together, and that's how you get a balanced budget, and ultimately that's how you get fiscal responsibility. … It can be done."
To Trent Lott, the former Republican senator from Mississippi, it comes down to the principal negotiators.
"There'll come a moment when the speaker … and the president will have to make a decision," Lott said. "But they need to do it in concert."
"It's like directing the orchestra. You've got to have the winds and the brass come together, and they're not quite there."
How will the fiscal cliff affect you?
CNN's Dana Bash, Paul Steinhauser, Caitlin Stark, Deirdre Walsh, Jessica Yellin, Ashley Killough and CNNMoney's Jose Pagliery contributed to this report.

CHICAGO (TheBlaze/AP) -- Urooj Khan had returned to Chicago from the hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia inspired to lead a better life and had sworn off buying lottery tickets -- except just this once. And his decision proved fruitful.
To his astonishment, the scratch-off ticket was a $1 million winner. But just as he was about to collect his money, Khan died suddenly. There were no signs of trauma and nothing suspicious, and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said he died July 20 of natural causes.
Now, authorities have determined that Khan, 46, ingested a lethal dose of cyanide. The finding, spurred by a relative's pleas for an expanded screening, has triggered a homicide investigation, the Chicago Police Department said Monday.
This undated photo provided by the Illinois Lottery shows Urooj Khan, 46, of Chicago's West Rogers Park neighborhood, posing with a winning lottery ticket. The Cook County medical examiner said Monday, Jan. 7, 2013, that Khan was fatally poisoned with cyanide July 20, 2012, a day after he collected nearly $425,000 in lottery winnings. (AP Photo/Illinois Lottery)
"It's pretty unusual," said Cook County Medical Examiner Stephen Cina, commenting on the rarity of cyanide poisonings. "I've had one, maybe two cases out of 4,500 autopsies I've done."
Khan, who owned a number of dry cleaners, stopped in at the convenience store near his home in the West Rogers Park neighborhood on the city's North Side in the summer and bought a ticket for an instant lottery game.
Convenience store clerk Ashur Oshana told The Associated Press on Monday that Khan had gone on the pilgrimage and told him he was done gambling. But Khan couldn't resist and scratched off the winner in front of Oshana.
"Right away he grabbed my hand," Oshana said. "He kissed my hand and kissed my head and gave me $100. He was really happy."
At an Illinois Lottery ceremony days later, Khan recalled that he jumped up and down in the store and repeatedly shouted, "I hit a million!"
"Winning the lottery means everything to me," he said at the June 26 ceremony, also attended by his wife, Shabana Ansari; their daughter, Jasmeen Khan; and several friends. He said he would put some of his winnings into his businesses and donate some to a children's hospital.
Khan opted for a lump sum of slightly more than $600,000. After taxes, the winnings amounted to about $425,000, said lottery spokesman Mike Lang. The check was issued from the state Comptroller's Office on July 19, the day before Khan died. It was cashed Aug. 15, Lang said, explaining that if a lottery winner dies, the money typically goes to his or her estate.
Calls to Khan's family went unanswered Monday. A knock on the door at the family's small, two-story house late Monday afternoon wasn't answered.

Khan was pronounced dead July 20 at a hospital, but Cina would not say where Khan was when he fell ill, citing the ongoing investigation. The external exam showed no signs of trauma on Khan's body.
No autopsy was done because, at the time, the Medical Examiner's Office didn't generally perform them on people 45 and older unless the death was suspicious, Cina said. The cutoff age has since been raised to age 50. After the basic toxicology screening for opiates, cocaine and carbon monoxide came back negative, the death was ruled a result of the narrowing and hardening of coronary arteries.
Cyanide can be inhaled, swallowed or injected. Deborah Blum, an expert on poisons who has written about the detectives who pioneered forensic toxicology, said using cyanide to kill someone has become rare partially because it's difficult to obtain and easy to detect -- often leaving blue splotches on a victim's skin.
"It has a really strong, bitter taste, so you would know you had swallowed something bad if you had swallowed cyanide," Blum said. "But if you had a high enough dose it wouldn't matter, because ... a good lethal does will take you out in less than five minutes."
It takes only a small amount of fine cyanide powder to be deadly, she said, as it disrupts the ability of cells to transport oxygen around the body, causing a convulsive, violent death.
"It essentially kills you in this explosion of cell death," she said. "You feel like you're suffocating."
After the initial cause of death was released, a relative of Khan's asked authorities to look into the case further, Cina said. He would not identify the relative. The full results came back in November.
"She (the morgue worker) then reopened the case and did more expansive toxicology, including all the major drugs of use, all the common prescription drugs and also included I believe strychnine and cyanide in there just in case something came up," Cina said. "And in fact cyanide came up in this case."
Chicago Police Department spokeswoman Melissa Stratton confirmed the department was now investigating the death, and said detectives are working closely with the Medical Examiner's Office.
Investigators will likely exhume the body, Cina said.
Oshana said he was shocked to hear that someone might have killed Khan.
"I'm very sorry for him," Oshana said.

My last post focused on hydration and featured a power-packed smoothie recipe. I'm still on my hydration and recovery kick, but this time I'll serve you up a nice "end of the day, I'm absolutely exhausted" recovery cocktail. I'm calling these evening, post-workout drinks sportinis. No alcohol needed. At least not most of the time. And, in my case, certainly not after an energy-draining, dust-collecting, 20 mile, single-track mountain bike ride. I'll explain the alcohol piece shortly.
As some of you may know, I'm on a mission to get in shape and lose the extra pounds I gained over the winter co-writing a book on sports nutrition with friend, colleague, and ultra-endurance athlete, Pete Bronski of No Gluten No Problem. The Gluten-Free Edge: A Nutrition and Training Guide for Peak Athletic Performance and an Active Gluten-Free Life will be released in June. If you're interested (semi-shameless plug), you can pre-order it here.
Aahh, the irony of sitting on my bum for long hours writing about nutrition, sports, and wellness—a downgrade in fitness and health, an uptick in weight and low energy. Life is a roller coaster ride at times, wouldn't you agree?
Regardless of the ups and downs of life, it's never too late to jump back on the healthy-living bandwagon. Never give up. Check here if you need some serious motivation – Arthur went from disabled, depressed, overweight vet to headstand-crow-chaturanga. Wow.
As Arthur demonstrates, it's possible to have major gains in strength, aerobic capacity, energy, and over-all radiance if you put your mind and body into it – no matter where you are on the health spectrum. But, as you can see from the video, it takes foot-stomping commitment.
Now, back to the alcohol piece. Studies show that alcohol disrupts sleep patterns, even in low doses. Yes, as little as one glass of wine can impact sleep. You might fall asleep okay, but as your body starts metabolizing the alcohol, sleep becomes progressively more erratic and disturbed. Here's what happens in a nutshell (or, in this case, a shot glass). You have your glass of red wine. You feel warm and mellow, relaxed and sleepy. An hour or two later you go to bed and fall asleep easily. The first half of the night goes well.
And then, out of nowhere, you wake up at 1:12 AM. That's a measly four hours after you fell asleep. And no matter what you do, you can't seem to find na-na land again.
Toss. Turn. Pillow flip. Check the clock. Worry about lost sleep. Start fretting about bizarre things.
Oh my gosh, what if the refrigerator stops working? Did I pay my phone bill? Maybe I should get a puppy. What's the deal with putting hot dogs in pizza crusts? Disgusting. I hate it that people get Parkinson's disease. Did I shut the garage door? I'll probably get another Alaskan Malamute if I get a puppy. Yikes! What was that noise? Is someone in the house? I'm hungry. And tired. Wish I could go to sleep.
Repeat frustrating cycle while incorporating new random worries. Kick covers. Curse crickets.
You get the idea. I don't have time for that. I need eight hours of sleep. Straight. So, if I want to feel my best and reach my summer sports goals, I have to skip the wine (most of the time anyway, there are exceptions). Here's where the sportini comes in. After a long day of work topped off with an evening mountain bike ride, I want to feel like I'm having something special like a glass of wine, but without the 2 AM pillow tossing. My post-exercise, recovery cocktails (mocktails/sportinis) replenish lost electrolytes and glycogen stores, provide antioxidants and phytochemicals, and boost hydration. Plus, they feel kind of special like I'm celebrating.
Lemon-lime-mint recovery cocktail (sportini)
Makes 1 large or 2 small servings
what you need
8 ounces S. Pellegrino sparkling mineral water
8 ounces Recharge organic lemon sports drink
1 organic lime (the fresh-squeezed juice and a little zest)
1 organic orange (the fresh-squeezed juice and zest)
1-2 fresh organic mint leaves
what you do
Place mineral water, Recharge, lime juice, orange juice, and zest in a shaker (I use a mason jar). Shake well. Add ice if desired (I don't like ice, ever). Pour into a fancy glass, top with crushed mint leaves, stir gently, and enjoy.
PER SERVING: 182 calories; 0 g fat; 48 g carbohydrate; 4 g protein; 7 g fiber
SPORTS NUTRITION BONUS: excellent source of vitamin C; contains iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, B vitamins, vitamin A (see details below, click table to enlarge)

A private university of 11,000 students near the center of Dallas, SMU offers strong undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs through seven schools.
2012 Archives
December 7, 2012
DALLAS (SMU) — A $1.5 million gift from the Kleinheinz Family Endowment for the Arts and Education will establish an endowed chair in the Division of Art History at SMU's Meadows School of the Arts.
The Kleinheinz Family Endowment for the Arts and Education is a private charitable foundation supported through generous contributions from Marsha and John B. Kleinheinz of Fort Worth. Their daughter, Marguerite, graduated from Meadows School of the Arts in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in art history.
"We are very impressed with Marguerite's experience at the Meadows School and SMU. Meadows Dean José Bowen has made great progress during his tenure," said Marsha Kleinheinz, president of the Kleinheinz Family Endowment for the Arts and Education. "We want to support the future of the University that is so important to our family."
John B. Kleinheinz, a Stanford University graduate, started his career as an investment banker engaged in corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions for Nomura Securities and Merrill Lynch in Tokyo, New York and London. In 1996 he established Kleinheinz Capital Partners, Inc., a private investment management firm in Fort Worth.
Marsha Kleinheinz earned a B.B.A. degree from SMU in 1983. She is currently involved in several charitable organizations, including Gill Children's Services, The Warm Place, The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Van Cliburn Foundation, Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, Performing Arts of Fort Worth and North Texas Public Broadcasting. Marsha and John Kleinheinz have three children.
"Our art history faculty are doing remarkable new things that will change the way art is studied," said Meadows Dean José Bowen. "With this exceptionally generous gift, we will be able to recruit and retain outstanding professors and continue to enhance our reputation as one of the very best art history departments in the country."
SMU Provost Paul W. Ludden added, "The Kleinheinz Family Endowed Chair in Art History will help to ensure the continued development of the Art History Division as one of SMU's strongest academic units. It will enhance the entire University as a center of excellence for historical studies."
The $1.5 million gift from the Kleinheinz Family Endowment counts toward the $750 million goal of SMU Unbridled: The Second Century Campaign, which to date has raised more than $653 million to support student quality, faculty and academic excellence and the campus experience. The campaign coincides with SMU's celebration of the 100th anniversary of the University's founding in 1911 and its opening in 1915.
The Meadows School of the Arts, formally established at SMU in 1969, is one of the foremost arts education institutions in the United States. The Meadows School comprises 10 academic divisions: the Temerlin Advertising Institute, Art (including the Center of Creative Computation), Art History, Arts Management and Arts Entrepreneurship, Communication Studies, Dance, Film and Media Arts, Journalism, Music and Theatre. The Division of Art History offers B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees.
The mission of the Meadows School is to educate visionary artists, scholars and arts and communications professionals prepared to create sustainable and transformative impact. It is also committed to providing an ongoing opportunity for all SMU students to grow in the understanding and appreciation of the arts. The Meadows School is a leader in developing innovative outreach and community engagement programs, challenging its students to make a difference locally and globally by developing connections between arts entrepreneurship and social change.

Soft-Tissue Sarcoma - Radiation Therapy With or Without Combination Chemotherapy or Pazopanib Hydrochloride Before Surgery in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Non-Rhabdomyosarcoma Soft Tissue Sarcomas That Can Be Removed by Surgery
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride, combination chemotherapy, and radiation therapy work and compares it to radiation therapy alone or in combination with pazopanib hydrochloride or combination chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas that can be removed by surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide and doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy works better when given with or without combination chemotherapy and/or pazopanib hydrochloride in treating patients with non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas.

At NASCAR, Leetzow directed the day-to-day operations of a 21-person legal department and five-person risk management team. She has a strong background in collective bargaining, antitrust and trademark matters, litigation management, sponsorship contracts, intellectual property, employment matters, risk management and management of outside counsel.
"Karen brings a vast amount of expertise and broad legal background to U.S. Soccer, and she'll immediately be a valuable addition to our team," said Wilson. "She has a strategic mindset and a tremendous work ethic, and I'm confident her presence and skill set will further strengthen the foundation of our organization."
Leetzow's husband is Brett Scharback, general counsel for the Chicago Cubs.
