I finally decided to give this a test. I set up the wiring correctly.
At the MDI interface I typed in
When I hit enter, the Shapeoko did a home cycle, that's all.
What went wrong? (There is a space between the 2 & Z and the 5 & F)
Also, just in case this works well someday, what's the hot setup? I use wood most all the time, so I looking for something like a coupon that is precisely 0.1" thick and has a easy place to attach the alligator clip. Anyone have any suggestions?
So far, the help I get from this forum is just fantastic!!!
I think you are using the incorrect command. It should be G38 not G28
Probe using the G38.2 command
Z: G38.2 z-15 f20
(probe 15mm down using speed 20mm/min)
X: G38.2 x15 f20
(probe 15mm right using speed 20mm/min)
Y: G38.2 Y15 f20
(probe 15mm right using speed 20mm/min)
After each probe you need to set the position either with G92 or with the typical G10
you can also enter offsets if it's something you are touching that has an offset:
(If you use offsets you can account for the thickness of your center finder or other probe surface. A simple .125 thick aluminum plate works surprisingly well, you just have to enter the offset when you zero.
Unfortunately they have not built in the correct macros or interface to make it easier yet. One more reason I'm writing my own program.
G92 X0 Y0 Z0 (if the endmill is at the desired origin)
G92 X0 Y0 Z3.175 (if the Z-height of the tip of the endmill has been set off the worksurface using a 3.175mm Alum Plate (.125") the current unit system is metric)
G92 X0 Y0 Z-6.35 (if the Z-height of the tip of the endmill is currently set at the worksurface and one has stock material mounted which one wants to leave a quarter inch of material uncut (at Z0 and lower) and the current unit system is metric)
Hope that works for you a bit better
Jeez, really!? I printed out the instructions from a Tutorial somewhere around here.
Did you get it working?
I will try it soon. But not right away.
I which this would be automated in CM.
you can reference this for valid commands:
It worked, thanks so much for the help.
Hello All, I've been struggling with this 2.4 board revision to get probing working correctly. This is the third board support has sent me where probing does not work correctly.
With it connected $6=0 Carbide Motion gives me Probing Cycle Failed. $6=1 probing works, but the probe needs to maintain contact with the spindle. Using G38.2 Z-15 F10 as the command.
Here is the output of these commands, with probing not working, (not connected, awaiting contact)
$6=0 ok $G [G38.2 G54 G17 G21 G90 G94 M0 M5 M9 T0 F10. S0.] ok G38.2 Z-15 F10 ALARM: Probe fail [Reset to continue]
So here is the output of these commands, with probing working but constant contact with the spindle must be maintained.
$6=1 ok $G [G38.2 G54 G17 G21 G90 G94 M0 M5 M9 T0 F1. S0.] ok G38.2 Z-15 F10 [PRB:0.000,0.000,-4.600:1] ok
$6=1 ok $G [G38.2 G54 G17 G21 G90 G94 M0 M5 M9 T0 F1. S0.] ok G38.2 Z-15 F10 [PRB:0.000,0.000,-4.600:1] ok
Any help getting this working correctly would be nice.
I also have the 2.4 board, but have no problem probing (even with the original board that came with the machine), but I do not use the same commands that you use because I ALWAYS got an error.
Actually I always had difficulty using the commands that are listed (Similar to your) and somehow, somewhere on some forum I found this information about 8 months ago that helped me (after hours of searching)
First I HOME my machine, and CLEAR any offsets. Next, I rapid over to my part, (I usually like to set my Z first) and stop the cutter about 1/4 (6mm) above the area I want to probe for my Z. I then look at the Z position on the left side of my computer screen. Let's say it says -46.00 mm. I then type
G38.2 Z-56 F15 (The number -56 is not critical as long as it is great than the distance to the part less the present position)
The Z will then travel down to the part and stop
If I put a number that is too small to touch the part, say -50mm, it will travel down 4mm ( -50mm -46mm = -4mm) and then I will get error Alarm Probe Cycle Fail (because the probe did not touch the part).
I then probe the X and Y making sure that the number that I type after the G38.2 command (X or Y direction) is greater than the distance to the part.
Let me know if you have any questions. I have a Probing Video on my YouTube channel that also my help (Search RichardCournoyer of Shapeoko Probing)
I use the probing command almost every day…
My machine probe setting is:
you should set it to $6=0
Your issue… More then likely is you are crossing the wires.
You need the GROUND wire to be in the spindle!!!
And the trigger wire to be on the plate you are probing toward.
Because the spindle is already probably grounded, adding the trigger wire to it probably automatically triggers the probe.
Swap the wires and let us know the behavior.
If he is using a Dewalt or Makita router for a spindle it is NOT grounded, because they are double insulated.
So the ground wire goes to the material or in my case (Aluminum bed) I attache the ground wire to one rail.
the circuit board is grounded to the railing though.
Test it with the VOM and you will see that the ground on the circuit board is connected to the ground on the rails of the machine.
It's not the house ground it's the circuit board circuit that matters.
Read here:
Note: "It's much better if the spindle is ground and the plate is connected to the pin.
That being said I have done it both ways. But it's something to try.
Does it matter if no ground is given initially?
Carbide Motion
Sorry, I am not familiar with the software you are using.
I know it's not Carbide Motion, what is it?
@RichCournoyer bCNC, It's just a front end with more features than Carbide Motion. If I use Carbide Motion the same thing happens.
Update: Just updated to Grbl 0.9j and still get the same issue.
Also made a new locking socket .100 polarized connector to attach to the Carbid3D board. Even if the wires are not connected to the board via the 2 pin socket probing fails.
Does the machine move at all during the probe or not? If the machine does not move it sounds like the internal pull up resistor is not working on the probe pin. In theory you could add an external resistor to that pin and 5V rail and it would work.\But I'm making assumptions, one would have to do some experimentation and know exactly what is going on to know for certain. Based on your screen the feed is not what you need to increase it's the Z depth. you have -10 or something like that in there it's hard to see exactly. the Z depth determines how far it should probe before giving an error.
Can you take a photo showing your connections on the Carbide3D board?
When you say "THE conductive probe", exactly which one is that? Is this one you made or one you purchased?
The new probe still hasn't arrived, so I'm using the alligator clips right now.
Thanks for the pictures, but I'm not sure that you are using a proper connector, and thus getting a good good connection at the probe pins which could be part or all of the problem. Also Roger has a good question, can you address it?

Alcohol is a part of culture in most societies today. People take it to relax, socialize, celebrate or even just for its taste. The challenge for most people is to balance between alcohol's place in culture and the health risks associated with excessive alcohol consumption. Alcohol has a direct effect on a person's central nervous system leading to a series of short-term and long-term physical and mental effects that could ruin his or her life.
One of the major short-term effects of alcohol abuse is memory loss, also known as black out. Alcohol is also known to alter the way your brain functions by suppressing your inhibitions. As a result, drinkers begin to do things they would not otherwise do including illicit sexual activity and irresponsible behavior.
Severe mental health problems are often associated with excessive alcohol intake. Alcohol affects many parts of the brain, which does not regenerate much if at all. As a result, recalling old memories increasingly becomes difficult with time. In addition, those that start drinking at a young age are more at risk of mental impairment because the brain develops up to 18 or 19 years of age.
Although it does not necessarily cause mental illness, alcohol use by people who drink to deal with stress could make existing health problems become worse. In addition, people that consume high amounts of alcohol are vulnerable to ill mental health. In fact, using alcohol to deal with anxiety or depression could leave you feeling worse after the effects wear out. This is because alcohol uses up and reduces the amount of neurotransmitters that are needed to ward off negative feelings. This ultimately leads to more drinking to blanket negative feelings, and a dangerous cycle develops. There is also a significant link between heavy drinking and suicide.
For most people, excessive alcohol intake causes a loss of physical balance and slurred speech. This is a result of muscle control loss; alcohol retards the coordination between the brain and the muscles. Nausea and vomiting are also among the immediate consequences of excessive alcohol consumption. Headaches are common a few hours after consuming alcohol, usually when you wake up the next morning if you were drinking at night. This is as a result of the dehydration that alcohol intake causes in your body.
Alcohol abuse can damage your liver, which may lead to cirrhosis - a serious liver disease. Prolonged intake could even lead to liver failure, liver cancer and ultimately death. Chronic inflammation of the stomach, also known as gastritis, is another possible disease that could result from alcohol abuse. In addition, your digestive system may be hindered from properly digesting the food you eat. With continued alcohol use, your body's ability to absorb essential vitamins might be compromised, which could easily lead to vitamin deficiency. Alcohol abuse is also linked to a higher risk of cancer of the colon, esophagus and larynx.
Excessive alcohol intake also increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. When your cardiovascular system is damaged, this escalates the risk of heart failure and could result in death. Men who take a lot of alcohol over an extended period may also suffer from erectile dysfunction as a result.
There is evidence suggesting that alcohol consumption during pregnancy could harm the developing fetus or breastfeeding baby. In fact, women who are pregnant, planning to get pregnant as well as those breastfeeding should not take alcohol.
Regular drinkers often develop tolerance to alcohol, which simply means they need a greater amount of alcohol to get the same effects they got before. In addition, a person could become dependent, which usually means that you are unable to function normally without taking alcohol. At this point, it becomes difficult to stop drinking or control the amount you take. This ultimately leads to alcohol addiction (alcoholism).
When you are physically dependent on alcohol, you will experience withdrawal symptoms when you stop drinking or substantially reduce your intake. These symptoms usually start about 6 to 24 hours after your last drink and could last up to five days and include tremor, anxiety and agitation, depression, sweating, headache, nausea and vomiting and difficulty sleeping. If you are worried about alcohol affecting your health or that of a loved one, it is important to seek professional help immediately.

Tui McKeown - Hampton VIC, Australia - Sep 5, 2010
"My son and two granddaughters live in Singapore. My son teaches school there. When he first went there, I sent a "have a great school year" basket. It has become a tradition to do this-over 10 years, now. The place where I usually go to send my son's annual ''have a great school year'' basket, told me they could not do it any more. I was frustrated, to say the least. I don't ''do'' computers-except what I HAVE to. But, I typed in-send a fruit basket to Singapore...this place is what I chose. I am SO glad I did. The communication was pleasant/professional, the basket was sent expediently, and it had all the things that were suggested. My son LOVED his ''have a great school year'' basket. I am extremely pleased with Giftbasketsoverseas, and shall use them again."

A couple of weekends ago I had kitchen sink problem which forced my Handyman husband to get underneath and do what plumbers do. He was frustrated and mad and when this things occur, your marriage is seriously tested, HAHA! But, because Mr. Scott is capable of fixing pretty much anything which saves us a lot of money, albeit all the grunts and cussing in between, he fixed my sink. Between the grease(oooops), popcorn kernels, food scraps, and remnants of dish sponges, all is well now. I really should start thinking about buying a dishwasher but the hookup is right next to the washer & dryer and I really don't need another bulky appliance to fill up the weird layout of my kitchen.
So anyway, upon reading about sponges being part of the drainage problem, my Mother-In-Law sent me these Scrub Daddy sponges. I haven't tried them yet. The mailman just literally dropped them off. My MIL speaks highly of them. From a simple google search, the company apparently went on ABC's Shark Tank show.
An amazingly versatile cleaning tool for the kitchen and beyond! Scrub Daddy's patented cut out smiley face design is made unique by its exclusive scratch-free FlexTexture® material. His one-of-a-kind pores adjust with your water temperature to change his scrubbing texture. In warm water, he becomes soft and compressible; in cold water he becomes firm to give you even more scrubbing power. Use him on dishes, cookware, appliances and more! Scrub Daddy is safe to use on wood, plastic, copper, cast iron, fiberglass, stainless steel, vinyl, car exterior paint, non-stick coatings and glass. He's even dishwasher and washing machine safe!
Ergonomically designed for an easy grip, his eyes accommodate two fingers to eliminate slippage while in use. His mouth is designed to clean both sides of forks, spoons, knives and other utensils at once. Unlike traditional sponges, Scrub Daddy has been independently lab tested to rinse clean of debris and resist odors for up to two months. Instead of requiring different tools for different surfaces, use Scrub Daddy to help you clean from room to room – with a smile! Indoors and out, he's the ideal tool for every cleanup job imaginable. (source)
I'm actually excited to use them. Them smilies are definitely cute. I'll definitely write a follow up review soon. Have you tried Scrub Daddy? What do you think?

Most of the parents these days are so busy and are in need of finding some solution for their childcare. Hiring a nanny is the best way for your childcare. A nanny is an individual providing a service for the family taking care of children in the presence or absence of parents. It is therefore necessary to check if a nanny is good in taking care of your children. Once you hire a nanny, you need to check the quality of her work related to your child. There are some signs or indications for finding a bad nanny. Here are some of them.
- When your child becomes anxious and is withdrawn from nanny even after certain period of time, it indicates that the nanny is not best. The child will not feel happy and will cry when you leave him with nanny.
- Your child may be involved in too many easily avoidable accidents under the supervision of a bad nanny. It is necessary for the nanny to look after the child and know what he is doing all the time. She should not leave the child unattended when he sleeps or plays.
- A bad nanny does not engage in conversation with parents. A good nanny should communicate with you regarding the activities and development of the kid.
- The one who does not focus on the instructions provided by the parents is also considered a bad nanny.
- She also seems to be lethargic and exhausted. She does not even show interest in her daily activities.
- She seems to be secretive about how they spent the day. When once you reach home, you should know what had happened that day. The nanny should also be interested to say about the things that happened without any secrecy. If you do not receive proper information from her, then it is an indication that the nanny is not good.
- Your baby may often look dirty and untidy under care of such bad nanny.
These above signs may help you in identifying that the nanny is not appropriate for your childcare. Ensure that you fire her after getting right evidence.

What Things to Know for Chiropractic Treatment for Hand Pain?If you suffer from reflux, or if your baby suffers from reflux, a visit to a chiropractor may help reduce the symptoms of this disease. Fortunately, babies often outgrow reflux once they have reached four months of age. The reason babies experience reflux is because they have immature sphincter muscles or because they have suffered trauma during the birth process. Chiropractic Treatment for Babies suffering from Reflux Babies, who are treated for reflux by a chiropractor in the first four months of their lives, respond very well to chiropractic treatment.The neck and back vertebrae of your baby can go out of alignment during the birth process. This is particularly true if your baby's delivery included forceps or a vacuum extraction, if the baby was delivered by a C- section, or if you needed to push the baby out for an extended period of time. If your baby suffers from reflux, chiropractic care can readjust any misalignment your baby may have suffered during his birth. Reflux is a common condition in babies under four months because the baby may have an immature or weak valve between his oesophagus and his stomach. Reflux occurs when milk escapes from the baby's stomach and flows up through the baby's oesophagus and back into the baby's mouth. When this happens the baby will vomit, often quite forcefully. The contents of a baby's stomach are acidic, so this can cause pain and irritation in your baby when he vomits.Chiropractic treatments can help your baby. The adjustments will help the nerves from the spine to have improved control of the upper valve of the baby's stomach and will correct any misalignment suffered during the birth process. The technique to adjust a baby is very gentle and you should see an improvement in your baby's condition within two or three visits to a chiropractor.A visit to a chiropractor is a drug free method of helping your baby to cope with the discomfort of reflux.Chiropractic Treatment for Older Children and Adults suffering from Reflux Patients who are treated by their chiropractor for upper back or neck problems may find the treatment will also help relieve reflux.If you have not considered chiropractic treatments for your reflux, you may be surprised to find spinal adjustments will ease the discomfort of reflux. Reflux may cause you to feel discomfort in your upper back between your shoulder blades. You may be helped by chiropractic adjustments to the spine. Chiropractic adjustments help to keep your nerve supply to the oesophagus and stomach in good condition. Patients with hiatal hernias may benefit from chiropractic treatment. A hiatal hernia occurs when the top section of your stomach herniates through your diaphragm. The diaphragm muscle may pinch the top part of your stomach and this can cause you to suffer from reflux.The holistic care offered by your chiropractor may help you to control the severity and discomfort caused by reflux. Chiropractic care may mean you can take fewer drugs or no drugs at all, to control your condition. Babies who suffer from reflux will benefit from chiropractic visits and parents will soon see a happier and more contented baby.

Peace for the US and Iraq
I started responding to a comment in a post by Historymike and it just got too long to justify posting it on his site. So, I'm foregoing my posting pattern to put this up.
It started with the Mosques, the violence, and the effects this will have on Iraq. When someone said this was yet another reason for our troops to leave Iraq, I couldn't help but pointing out that al-Sadr, our enemy, agrees. That, of course, opened a can of worms. Dariush provided an excellent link, which I felt the need to respond to and so here we are...
As per the article Dariush cited, I don't think any one strategy is going to be entirely effective. I am, however, one of the "traditional conservatives" that thinks it's hypocrisy at it's worse that we are "spreading Democracy" to Iraq, while supporting dictatorships in neighboring countries. Also, I think an equitable solution between Israel and Palestine would certainly help (though I don't recommend "abandoning" either). Finding a peaceful solution that provided Israel with security and Palestine with prosperity would eliminate, to a certain degree, one of the wedges between the Middle East and the West. However, in the long-run, giving less fodder to the corrupt clerics and governments that convince their under-educated populace that the US is responsible for all their hardships by not supporting governments that force unnecessary hardships on their people would make a much bigger impact, imo, seeing that while many Middle Eastern Muslims give lip-service to their Palestinian "brothers," they don't actually help them rise above their extreme poverty very often or consistently. Over all, a new, saner policy should be enacted that will give the impoverished Middle East populace the opportunity to control their own fate, so they can demand decent jobs, decent housing, decent education and other necessities for growth that oppressive dictatorships keep their people from having. I don't claim to know exactly what that policy should be, but touting democracy in one country while supporting dictatorships that, amongst other things, don't actually take care of their people is foolhardy at best.
Of course, oil has a lot to do with that, and I think one of the first steps to "discovering" a sane approach to foreign policies in the Middle East is getting out from under our oil dependence. And I mean, really doing it, full-throttle, not the GWB way. We need renewable energy that's good for the environment, and if we actually made that a priority American ingenuity would make it happen. Instead, we get talk, trickling funding, and little progress. That's inexcusable.
These are obviously long-term solutions. There are no easy, immediate solutions to our predicament. This crisis has been building up for decades at the very least, and from the point of view of many Muslims, centuries and millennia. As daunting as that is, what we do NOW can have a lasting, positive effect. However, none of this will bring immediate peace in Iraq. Frankly, I don't think anything will. Our soldiers leaving, as was suggested at the start of this particular discussion, will NOT bring peace to that country, and it will not make us safer. Which is only one of the goals that this country should have. Immediate safety for our soldiers, no matter how desirable, does not win long-term safety for our soldiers and their families. Many of THEM know that, that's why they're soldiers. Some in the US do not understand the difference.
Back to the article Dariush cited:
"Even if U.S. foreign policies were changed, however, the global Islamist insurgency very likely would continue."
That is a statement I agree with 100%, which is why I don't see leaving Iraq as a viable option. If we cut and run, then the terrorists win. While that doesn't seem to bother liberal_dem and other liberals throughout the nation, that does bother me quite a bit and not for the sake of any gold medals as liberal_dem ignorantly suggested. It will embolden the extremists and make them all the more difficult to defeat on the larger scale. And, make no mistake, to win a lasting peace these extremists HAVE to be defeated, not just side-tracked, much like Hitler. After all, their goals are very much the same. I don't want my children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren being blown up or worse, because we didn't have the courage to face a group of terrorists who want to rule the world.
See, that's the thing. Their fighting us isn't about Iraq. It's not about our foreign policy. It's about world dominion. I've read enough on this particular sect of Islam to understand that. They believe Islam should be spread across and rule the world the same way some misguided Christians (sometimes most Christians) have felt over the last couple millennia. I do not want America or Christianity to rule the world. I do not even believe that "democracy" has the right, that democracy is right for every nation right now irregardless of their own desires. And I certainly don't want Islam to be spread that way. While I respect the Islamic religion as practiced by the many, many moderate Muslims, I don't want to convert to their faith, not by choice and certainly not be force.
Don't believe me, then look further down in the article:
Extremists among the Sunnis dream of the restoration of the Islamic caliphate, which would rule by Islamic law the entire Muslim umma, or community, around the world. When the last Islamic caliphate, that of the Ottoman sultan, was abolished along with the Ottoman Empire in 1922, the Muslim world broke into a plethora of separate and competing states. These states and their apostate or heretical regimes would in turn be abolished with the establishment of the new caliphate.
Will staying in Iraq solve the problem? No, probably not. At least, not exclusively. Nor will leaving Iraq. Leaving Iraq, however, will cause more problems than trying to solve the situation there. I don't recommend "staying the course," i.e. doing the same things we've been doing--insanity isn't going to win the peace. But, neither is cowardice.
But that doesn't mean we are without options. This paragraph, in particular, had great meaning for me.
The history of the Cold War shows that, when dealing with an opposing political ideology, a strategy of separating its moderate adherents from its extremist adherents can sometimes be successful. In Europe in particular, the United States was very successful in separating moderate Marxists-socialists and social democrats from extremist Marxists-communists during the 1950s, and this division largely persisted for the rest of the Cold War. This splitting strategy was not very effective in the Third World, however. There, moderate Marxists the "Third Way" rarely existed or, if they did, they were soon marginalized by the extremist Marxists or repressed by the authoritarian, anticommunist regimes that were the allies of the United States.
I have had or do have several Muslim friends. They're good people. They enjoy the freedoms of our Democracy and want that for their homeland. They enjoy the ability to make choices for themselves without being repressed by their families, their religion or their government. However, the sad truth is that this is NOT the reality for many Middle Eastern Muslims. They simply do not have our freedoms. For some, the under-educated masses in particular, they can't understand or imagine having our freedoms. That's where policy changes come into effect. The US has a history of supporting these governments that deny their own people the basic tenets of life we often take for granted. If we are going to be able to co-exist peacefully with the Middle East, this has GOT to stop. I don't recommend sending in our soldiers to ring the Liberty Bell for all nations near and far. That's ridiculous. However, NOT supporting the governments that oppress their own people...that's just common sense for a nation that believes in Democracy! If Middle Eastern Muslims desire Democracy, they will demand it. If not, then they will find a way to live equitably eventually, so long as more powerful nations aren't forcing oppressive governments down their throats.
Also, (and this is for those of you who aren't familiar with my blog) I must say that this isn't news to me. Supporting moderate Muslims is something I have a bit of a passion for. Far too many people call for the moderate Muslims to do something, and don't pay attention to the fact that they are doing quite a bit...and we're ignoring them. This does not help our situation.
The article Dariush cited somewhat dismisses this strategy:
"There, the features of authoritarian regimes, widespread poverty, and polarized societies combine to nurture extremist Islamism along with extremist political actions."
My point is that instead of dismissing the strategy, addressing why it is not effective will help to not only make the strategy viable, but it would actually be a PART of the strategy itself. If we were not actively infuriating the people we want on our side by supporting those that make their lives miserable, then they would be more likely to want peace with us. If we were actually helping them to get the necessities of life...well-deserved gratitude does have it's advantages. Right now our "aid" efforts often end up lining the pockets of the wealthy and powerful, instead of filling the bellies of those who go hungry. And yet we wonder why they hate us?
With the Mosques we are, of course, seeing this next quote live:
The contemporary analogy is the division between Sunnis and Shi'ites in the Islamic world. The ongoing sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shi'ites in Iraq provides a daily reminder of the intensity of the division in that country, but the division, suspicion, and conflict between the two versions of Islam is a feature of many other Muslim countries as well, especially Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Sunnis normally regard Shi'ites as heretics and inferiors; Shi'ites normally regard Sunnis as hypocrites and oppressors.
In this article it's proposed as a good thing:
"In the Muslim world there might be Sunni Islamists and Shi'ite Islamists, but each might consider their greatest enemy to be not the United States, but each other."
But that really depends on how humanitarian your view is. Personally, I don't want to win peace for us, but helping the Middle East slip into a massive war. Despite the evaluations of the author of this article, I don't think that is a wise and equitable choice.
Nor do I believe that this statement is entirely accurate:
"The Bush administration persists in trying to construct--or conjure up--a democratic, unified Iraq, but this objective will probably prove to be unrealistic and unattainable."
It's a matter of choice. The Iraqis may CHOOSE to split. That's a likely possibility. However, if the Iraqis leaders genuinely want a unified Iraq, they can obtain it. It's THEIR choice to make, not ours.
After all, this is what I find inexcusable:
"The methods of these Shi'ite and Kurdish militias or armies would indeed be ruthless and would probably reach the point of expelling many of the Sunni inhabitants from the Shi'ite and Kurdish regions in a way reminiscent of ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia."
James Kurth may feel that letting the in-fighting destroy this area of the world is a reasonable alternative to the hard work of building peace, but I cannot and do not. While, should the Iraqis choose to do so, I would have no problem with supporting an equitable division of Iraq that was peacefully effective, giving each party what it needs to survive and thrive on it's own; I can not in good conscience advocate abandoning them to kill each other. Strategically that may be a sound strategy, but morally in is inexcusable. We're there. We need to find, develop, and make effective a strategy to obtain peace, not just for ourselves, but for the Iraqis. We've taken this responsibility, which very well may have been a mistake, but abandoning that responsibility is an unconscionable strategy.

I knew I'd found what I'd been seeking
After researching Mexico on the Internet, my wife and I were interested in the Patzcuaro area as a possible retirement spot. I corresponded with real estate broker/attorney Liliana Gonzalez of Michoacan Real Estate about a June visit, and she guided me toward her American associate, Didi Rose, of Tzintzuantzan, on beautiful Lake Patzcuaro. Didi, who owns, also, a delightful B&B, said my room was waiting, and that she'd give me a complete tour of the entire area, plus a rundown of both rentals and sale properties. When she brought me to the pretty, unspoiled and underdeveloped jewel of Lake Zirahuen, just southwest of Patzcuaro, I knew I'd found what I'd been seeking. Without her help, I doubt I would have found such a spot in the short time I had. Through friends she learned of a delightful lakeview lot for sale, (there might not always be a sign, so here's where contacts like Liliana's and Didi's really pay off). After I'd made an offer, Didi presented me with a copy of the accepted contract, in English, the only realty company in the area to provide that service. Although I speak and read some Spanish, certainly it's not good enough to read legal documents, so this was highly valuable. Since I would not be present to sign the necessary legal papers that Mexican real estate law requires, Liliana met me in Patzcuaro, where the notario for the area witnessed my signature, giving Liliana my power of attorney for all subsequent aspects of the sale. (The process is pretty simple. In addition to the power of attorney, you'll need a foreign relation's buyer's permit, a notary for the title and final signing, and you may have to pay a small tax transfer fee.) Liliana and Didi handled everything, making my experience as painless as possible, and now we own a wonderful piece of Mexico upon which to build our retirement casita. I only wish all my real estate transactions in the States had been so easy. Thank you so much, Liliana and Didi.

Hey there good lookin' 😉 I'm sorry that I've been remiss with my posts. Well as you can see from what I wrote below, I'm trying to deal with issues. I've talked to friends and BDW about this and now I turn to you for your sage advice. Thanks in advance dear friends and hope the long weekend allows you all to recharge and be with family and good friends.
I've been in Corporate for 12 years. 10 years in the same company where I found and eventually married the wonderful father of my kid. I couldn't believe I lasted 10 years but looking back it was all because I found a team and a family here. Things have changed quite a bit in the last 3 years as now I have my own family to take care of. My day job entails intense, pressure-filled work in the 2nd and 4th quarter of the year. By intense I mean, "wiwi lang ang pahinga", 12-16 hour days, weekend work and the absence of long holidays. It used to be manageable then because I was younger, I had the stamina and the energy. But now, it's all different because when I come home, I put on my mom hat and my mom hat does not really do much if the kid I'm supposed to be a mom to is asleep. My mom hat is useless when all I could tell my little kid who wants Mama to stay behind and eat breakfast with him is "I need to go to the office" My kid has dropped words like "dito ka na lang mama" or "mama wag ka nag mag-office" and they have stabbed my heart and I couldn't concentrate on my work any longer because I just want to be home.
Some would say that those words would motivate them to do their best and be the best. Some would see this as a signal to reassess things. The past few months have just been a challenge for me work wise and it's not just because of the actual work but because of the issues that I've had to deal with. I think at some point every parent, not just moms, has to deal with these cross roads.
I have a co-manager at the office that has moved on to another team. Her main reason, she didn't want to do the same mistake she did with her first son with her second son. She didn't see her first kid grow up because she was stuck in the office, doing the same work I am doing now. It broke her heart when her kid got a star on his hand but he had to wash it because it was bed time and Mommy wasn't home yet. It drove her to tears when her kid asked why she wanted to spend more time at work than with him. Her kid is just 5 years old.
Of course, let's not get into the nitty-gritty of the other details that make corporate life uhm exciting but yes, those too add to the pressure and sometimes become more unbearable than the workload itself. And to be honest, it is this last thing that's making me reassess my options. Yes I am truly sad because certain events are beyond my control now and it all happened in the span of one month.
I'm sorry to be a bit cryptic, it's just that I don't want to give away too much as it involves my day job 😛
I want to ask you moms out there who have quit the Corporate Life, what is that moment when you made that big leap? What was your exit strategy?
To fellow working moms, how do you deal with issues like this??

Sweatshirt : Rag & Bone | Shirt : Zara | Vegan Leather Pants : Blank NYC | Faux Fur : H&M | Booties : Dolce Vita | Bag : Alexander Wang
Maybe it is the cool(er) weather or maybe my new hair but I was really inspired to create this super modern, super monochromatic look. I don't normally do a whole lot of black because I always want to keep things interesting but these layers had that certain "je ne sais quoi" that I am always looking for in an outfit. Love that this Rag & Bone sweatshirt adds the perfect element of surprise to this look and I was pretty stoked to pair it with one of the many faux furs I have started to collect.

When we first moved into our house two years ago, several of my home purchases were intended to get us by just for a couple of years, while I took my time figuring out what style made sense for our new place. Curtains are a great example. I bought neutral IKEA curtains for several rooms in the house, anticipating that I'd replace them when I found a better style. What I've realized is that I don't actually have to replace these curtains … I just need to enhance them (see here and here).
I came across these Anthropologie curtains a couple months ago. Loved them, but, as usual, didn't want to spend $138/panel. Plus the colors weren't quite right for my space. In the fabric/trim section of my local craft store, I came across this awesome jute trim (similar available here and here). It's perfect because it ties really well with a lot of the other natural elements I have in my house. I selected a coordinating ribbon for $2, grabbed my trusty glue gun and I was ready to go!
Anthro-Inspired Jute Tassel Trim Curtains
Supplies (per panel)
1 neutral curtain panel (I used IKEA's LENDA curtains which come two to a pack, but these would work if you need them quicker and don't want to pay Ikea for shipping)
3 yards of jute tassel trim
1 3-yard spool of coordinating ribbon
glue gun (I like this one)
glue sticks
Lay your curtain panel out in an open area. Start with the tassel trim. Using a glue gun (or you could sew it, if you're into that kind of thing…), glue a few inches of the trim at a time. When you get to the end, cut trim cleanly and use extra glue to prevent fraying.

Located on what is considered the best swimming beach on Jamaica's South Coast, Blue Marlin Beach House, exhibits that rare combination of seaside bliss, and historical interest all within a expansive landscaped dry tropical garden. So ideally situated within the bay, this property was once a Taino settlement (be sure to view the collection of artefacts found right on property).
The beach house is uniquely decorated with a mix of authentic antique pieces, original artwork and contemporary beachside furnishings. A welcoming staff includes a cook, housekeeper and gardener.
All 4 bedrooms are air conditioned with ceiling fans. The master bedroom includes a small child's alcove with bed and crib.
Amenities include:
Complimentary WiFi
Satellite TV
Apple TV
iPod docking station
Thatched covered Summer House with Hammocks and sun deck.
Outdoor dining Pergola
Complimentary Playpen and high chair
Boogie Boards,
Beach volleyball
Beach football (soccer)
Variety of beach games and kids beach toys
Cards, board games, dominoes etc.
The Blue Marlin Beach House was originally built as the weekend home and healthy retreat for the Tatham family. Now in its 4th generation the Tatham family has passed on many of the responsibilities to the younger generation. Bruce along with his aunt Sandy and reservations manager Karen hope to bring our slice of paradise to the wider world.
Tatham Family purchased this house in 1968
The dry climate and healthy sea air was the answer to William's childhood asthma. Living in the damp, cool hills of Mandeville, William would suffer regular attacks so in an effort to find a healthier environment for their youngest child, Ted and Joan Tatham combed Jamaica's north and south coasts. When they happened upon the small, remote fishing village of Great Bay, they knew their prayers were answered. And so started the the weekly trek to Great Bay. Joan and Ted would collect the children from school on a Friday afternoon - car already packed with animals and food for the one hour trek to the coast - hopefully getting in before dark, with time to light the kerosene fridge and lamps.
At weekends the children became explorers: hunting for shells, crabbing, searching for Taino artefacts, exploring nearby caves and dunes. When not exploring, sports were the focus: swimming, hiking, and playing softball and football (soccer) with the local kids. Nighttimes were spent around the table for memorable family meals, impromptu games of Blind Man's Buff, bonfires and duppy (ghost) stories on the beach. When Monday morning rolled around, everything was packed up, then back to school and work in Mandeville. Needless to say, the asthma was kept at bay, and William (and the rest of the Tatham kids) grew up to be very healthy athletic adults.
In fact, Melinda, the second Tatham child went on become the Caribbean' s # 1 Junior Tennis Champion and represented Jamaica in the Federation Cup and competed at both Wimbledon and the French Open.
Carrying on tradition, Melinda's children now represent Jamaica in the international Squash arena, including the highest level of squash - the Commonwealth Games.

Make Someone Smile Contest – Greetings from the Philippines!
I came across your website through a friend who said that your company manufactures quality and affordable vehicles.
With the advent of increasing oil prices, smaller and energy efficient vehicles are conquering our streets. I have yet to see a Nano here in our country. Most small cars are from China and branded local assemblers.
How I wish I can own and drive one especially a Nano which is a more rounded and a more quality and affordable brand. How I wish I can send my three kids to school and fetch them with my Nano. This will surely bring them all the smiles and confidence going to school and going home where my wife waits at our doorstep with all her smiles once we safely arrive with our Nano.
Keep up the good work and more power TATA...
Respectfully yours, Rhodel Peralta

THE GAME: Six Dodgers pitchers allowed just three hits as they won their Cactus League opener, 6-1, over the Chicago White Sox Thursday
PITCHING REPORT: Left-hander Clayton Kershaw pitched two scoreless innings in his first Cactus League outing, striking out two and allowing two baserunners (a walk and a single). … Right-hander Joe Blanton was the most impressive Dodgers pitcher. He retired all six batters he faced, striking out three (Adam Eaton, Jose Abreu and Todd Frazier).
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "We're dating right now. It's not like we're married." – Pitching coach Rick Honeycutt to Japanese media about getting to know Kenta Maeda.
HITTING REPORT: The Dodgers have trying to find a market for Alex Guerrero for some time now. He might be able to help with a hot spring and he started in that direction with a home run in his first at-bat off White Sox left-hander John Danks and later added a double. … Fighting for a possible bench spot, Charlie Culberson also had a two-hit game (a single and a triple). … The Dodgers outhit the White Sox, 12-3
ALSO: Scott Kazmir is scheduled to start Friday, Maeda on Saturday and Alex Wood on Monday. The Dodgers have not named a replacement for Brett Anderson (back surgery) who was scheduled to start Sunday's game. … In his first game as Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts exchanged lineup cards with a former teammate — and former fantasy football league partner — in White Sox manager Robin Ventura.
UP NEXT: Dodgers (LHP Scott Kazmir) at Rangers (RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez), 12 p.m. PT, Surprise Stadium. Radio only (570 AM)

In the event that posters are to be hanged outside, the paper is thicker, but additionally protected with a special foil. Materials including plastic or water-repellant materials may also be used. The following point to consider is whether or not the poster must have any extra features such as for example glow in the evening or a particular form.
Pick Quality Over Amount
Quality is not an option if a band really wants to make it big. Quality is a requirement regarding poster printing for bands. Consequently, you will need to check out the printing company you wish to utilize. In case it is an on-line company you then should read item and customer care reviews to create a notion regarding how the organization handles their requests in every respect. When you have decided about the printing company, you need to pick the material to print on and printing technologies. The materials and the publishing must respect high standards of quality. The precision of printing, along with the preciseness of cut is a must in poster printing for bands.
Why Print Posters For a Band
There are many factors why a band may choose poster publishing. First of all, bands need certainly to notify people of upcoming events they will be in, particularly concerts, for example. All the music-related activities, also charity occasions, must certanly be marketed. Then a band could use posters to advertise their brand. These are posters which can be distributed in another way than posters that promote musical events. These are typically less many and reach fans through magazines or get from various occasions.

England off-spinner Graeme Swann's splendid five wicket haul restricted Bangladesh to 216 in their first innings despite left hand batsman Tamim Iqbal's entertaining century in the second Test here at the Old Trafford.
Bangladesh were 203 runs behind England"s 419, just four runs shy of avoiding the follow-on when the second day's play was called off, which meant that England captain Andrew Strauss did not have to decide immediately whether he wanted to make Bangladesh bat again or not.
Bangladesh started their chase on a positive note and were 126 without loss, but after tea a dramatic batting collapse, which has now almost become a feature for the Asian minnows, saw them losing all their wickets for just 120 more runs.
None of the Bangladeshi batsmen looked comfortable at the crease apart from Iqbal (108) who scored a run-a-ball hundred with a six and 11 boundaries.
This was Iqbal's second hundred in as many innings.
For England, the hero of the day was Swann, who took five for 76 runs in 22.1 overs.
He was ably supported by debutant fast bowler Ajmal Shahzad who finished with three for 45 in 10 overs.
Earlier, resuming the day on 275 for five, Ian Bell (128) and Matt Prior (93) powered England to a formidable first innings score of 419.
For Bangladesh, skipper Shakib al Hasan was the pick of the bowlers with five for 121, while both Shafiul Islam and Abdul Razzak picked a couple of wickets each.
Score in brief:
Bangladesh 216 (Tamim 108, Swann 5-76) trail England 419 (Bell 128, Prior 93, Shakib 5-121) by 203 runs. (ANI)

Iraq listed as site of imperiled religious freedom: "Alarming and deteriorating situation"
Iraq has been added to a "watch list" of countries requiring "close monitoring" of violation of religious freedoms, reports an independently run monitoring group established by the U.S. government.
The decision by the Commission on International Religious Freedom to add Iraq to the list is due to the "alarming and deteriorating situation for freedom of religion and belief" within the war-torn nation, the panel said in its annual report released May 2. Iraq joins a watch list that includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Belarus, Cuba, Egypt, Nigeria and Indonesia.
The report noted what it called the "growing scope and severity of human rights abuses" within Iraq. It said that nonstate actors, particularly a Sunni-dominated insurgency, "are responsible for a substantial proportion of the sectarian violence and associated human rights violations."
However, the Iraqi government also bears responsibility for acts of violence, the report stated. This includes engaging in human rights violations through its state security forces. Among those violations are arbitrary arrest, prolonged detention without due process, torture and extrajudicial executions, the panel said.
The government is also responsible, the report said, for tolerating religiously based attacks and other acts violating religious freedom, including abuses carried out by armed Shi'ite factions.
In addition to adding Iraq to its watch list, the commission released its annual recommendations to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice about "countries of particular concern," whose governments have "engaged in or tolerated systematic and egregious violations of the universal right to freedom of religion or belief." This is seen as a more serious category than that of the watch list. The 2007 "countries of particular concern" are Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam. –Ecumenical News International

A Saudi national who has been called one of Al Qaeda's early leaders and a former top aide to Osama bin Laden has been sentenced to life in prison in connection with the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, prosecutors announced Friday.
Khalid Fawwaz, 52, was convicted of conspiracy charges in February, more than 16 years after his arrest in Britain. Fawwaz fought extradition to the United States for years, but was finally sent to this country in October 2012.
Prosecutors said Fawwaz "played a critical role for Al Qaeda in its murderous conspiracy" against the U.S, but Fawwaz's lawyers said their client is just a dissident who sought peaceful reform and was dismayed by Bin Laden's shift toward violence.
"There is no hate in the heart of Khaled al-Fawwaz," defense lawyer Bobbi Sternheim told jurors during the trial in New York early this year.
Prosecutors said Fawwaz had headed an Al Qaeda military training camp in Afghanistan in the 1990s, before moving to Nairobi in 1993. There, prosecutors said, he served as a leader for the terrorist organization as it began planning for attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which left 224 people dead and more than 4,500 wounded.
"Fawwaz conspired with a murderous regime, and the result was a horrific toll of terror and death," U.S. Atty. Preet Bharara said in a statement. "The price he will pay, appropriately severe as it is, cannot possibly compensate his victims and their families."
Fawwaz later served as Bin Laden's media advisor from London, prosecutors said during the trial. He screened journalists who requested interviews with Bin Laden and helped the Al Qaeda leader's fatwa calling on Muslims to kill Americans in any country, prosecutors said.
During the trial, prosecutors also presented a list that they said indicated Al Qaeda members found by U.S. forces in Afghanistan in 2001. Bin Laden was No. 1 on the list; Fawwaz, listed under an alias, was No. 9, they said.
A lawyer for Fawwaz said it would be "reckless" to make assumptions about the list because jurors were never shown who created it or why.
Shortly before his sentence was handed down on Friday, Fawwaz addressed victims of the bomb attack, who were seated in the courtroom.
"I can't find words to describe how terribly sad and sorry I am," Fawwaz said. "I don't support violence. ... I hope one day people will find other ways to live with their differences other than violence."
Ellen Karas, one of three victims who spoke at the hearing, was blinded by the attacks. "I worship the same God as you," she told the defendant. "But he is not an angry God. He is not a vengeful God."

You may have heard that major auto manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda and GM are starting to make hydrogen fuel vehicles for production, and not just as experiments. This could spell the end of the hybrid fuel vehicles or it could be just another failed attempt to get us off of fossil fuels. But there's something interesting about hydrogen as a fuel source: it's not technically a fuel.
Hydrogen does not exist in nature in any appreciable quantities. We can't mine it or harvest it: we have to create it. And the way we create it is through a process known as a electrolysis. No, this isn't the zapping of unwanted body hair, instead it's a very simple electrochemical reaction where DC current is applied to water, and the water breaks down into its constituent components, H2, diatomic hydrogen, and O, oxygen. This is something you can do at home, or may have done in school chemistry class. But there's one thing that's always true about this reaction: it takes more energy to create the hydrogen than the hydrogen will give off.
Fossil fuels are very dense energy stores, and they store energy that ultimately came from the sun, in some cases millions of years ago. And while it's true that the sun gave more energy than we can get out of fossil fuels, WE, that is humans, don't have to put very much energy into the equation in comparison to the energy we can extract. With hydrogen, we have to put in ALL the energy we can extract, and then some. Energy is always lost when hydrogen is created and used as fuel. Because of this, it's best to think of hydrogen as an energy conveyance medium rather than a fuel. It's a bit like a battery made of gas, in practical terms.
But that doesn't mean hydrogen powered cars are a bad idea. Though it is extremely flammable, and thus dangerous (see airship Hindeburg), so is gasoline. And unlike gasoline, burning hydrogen whether directly or in a fuel cell, produces only one "waste" component, and that is – you can figure it out – water, or most likely water vapor. It would even be possible to store this water in the vehicle and use it for cooling or windshield washing. Hydrogen fuel cell have been used for decades on human-inhabited spacecraft for this reason.
There's a lot of debate over the so-called "hydrogen economy" and we'll leave that to experts.
You may or may not be driving a hydrogen powered car in a few years. But one things for certain: if hydrogen powered cars hit the mass market, it won't be long for someone installs a device that shoots flames into the air. Count on it.

- Planning
The ICNet was founded to bridge the gap between infrastructure and climate change research. To support this goal, the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) project was conducted in order to: 1. better understand how future changes in temperature would impact freeze-thaw conditions in low-volume roads and 2. complete a relatively straight-forward study in order to document the methods used, serving as an example research project for the ICNet research community. The latter objective addresses the scarcity of information on how to conduct research at the interface of infrastructure and climate change.
To encourage infrastructure and climate change research, the ICNet developed a tiered research guide applicable to a broad range of audiences with varying levels of expertise, whether one is new to either topic or a researcher looking to conduct their own study. This case study document is as an integrated component and complementary piece to this product. It is an example of a completed research project that has been thoroughly documented from start to finish. The case study documents are intended to reflect, as reliably as possible, the details involved with conducting a study at the intersection of climate change and infrastructure. In addition to this case study, the ICNet Research Guide provides a generalized a framework that includes steps involved with infrastructure and climate change research, as well as some helpful resources.
About the project
The REU project was conducted by six graduate and undergraduate students from a number of universities who worked on the study under the supervision of five professionals from climate, engineering, research, and communications fields. The project was based at the University of New Hampshire and took place in under three months during the summer of 2015. File sharing systems and conference calls were used to maintain communication with off-site team members. Weekly meetings were held to discuss progress and tasks and to ensure that all team members were fully informed about all aspect of the project, even those with which they were not directly involved.
Team members were each assigned to focus on data processing and automation, output analysis, background research, and/or communications. These tasks included addressing the common challenges faced by civil engineers who wish to use the output from future climate models, as well as historical data on climate conditions. For example, the automation task aimed to demonstrate how to preprocess climate model output to format it as required for input to a problem-specific engineering model. It also demonstrated how to utilize output from numerous climate models and emission scenarios, which is a necessary practice to deal with uncertainty in future forecasting. These and other tasks and solutions are fully documented in the case study.
Over the course of the project, several levels of feedback and outreach presentations were conducted. Early on in the study, the team conducted a number of outreach meetings with climate scientists who had experience working with climate models. The results of these meetings are summarized here. Follow-up meetings and discussions with roadway infrastructure specialists yielded a significant amount of helpful feedback that was incorporated into the process and presentation of the results. Several iterations of a summary presentation were developed in order to share findings and receive further feedback. The research guide was developed concurrently to this study, and much of the guide is adapted from the best practices either discovered or implemented during the REU project. A meeting was held to discuss pilot studies with engineering and general researchers; pilot study versions of the guide were subsequently created. The content of the research guide and all of its components were reviewed by professionals from both the infrastructure and climate change fields. With the feedback gathered from these outreach and communications efforts, the REU project was able to continuously update and improve, striving to create the best model of work for this case study. The documents linked above describe the technical aspects of this case study.

Fuzzy Bomber Jacket: Comfort and Style Two Ways
By the third day of my long weekend in New York, I was ready for a bit of comfort. Enter this geographic fuzzy bomber jacket I brought with me from Fabrik. It has all the swag and all the comfort you need on a cold day. My date for the week also loved the jacket.
We both love fashion and liked a lot of the same things we saw on the runway in New York. Nevertheless, our styles are different. She was drawn to this fuzzy bomber jacket, just like me. Her approach was totally different, though. If it weren't for the beanies, our outfit creations couldn't be more different.
Eleanor took a darker approach (as usual!). Tall, suede boots, leggings, and a long black shirt made for a comfy, but rocker chic brunch outfit. Her wedges were easy to walk in and kept her warm from the snow. My Wilson Leather backpack went with us everywhere (snacks, camera, press passes, maybe a flask?) and made a good match for this city look.
The white stripe of the fuzzy bomber jacket is what stood out to me, so I played that up. I pulled on a crisp white tunic to create funky some layers. I kept the rocker vibe alive with distressed jeans and these buckle wedge booties I scored at Goodwill. They were perfect for the snow! This snakeskin bag was also from Fabrik and blended seamlessly.
Where I Found It
One of my favorite boutiques in Richmond is Fabrik. I pop in frequently to see what's new and what's trending. Everyvtime I go in, there are so many new items. They don't last long and there is a good reason for that. They are loading up for spring! If you've got a wedding, vacation, graduation, or even prom to attend, this should be a stop on your hit list in Richmond. I also love to pick up basics I wear all the time from Fabrik. One of my favorite faux leather jackets from BB Dakota was found at this RVA fashion gem. Soft t-shirts and killer jeans abound, too.
If you're following along closely this week, you'll have a chance to win a $200 shopping spree to the boutique! The staff there are excellent stylists and will walk you through each and every choice you make. You'll leave feeling confident and energized, I promise.
Get a Fuzzy Bomber Right Now
- Give Fabrik in Carytown a call at 804-254-5653 or walk in to 3004-A W. Cary Street.
- Get this one from Forever 21, $38
- Love this grey and blush bomber from ASOS, $68
- Reversible and plus sized from Macy's, $94
