You mention a product called Flotrol? I have never heard of this. You add it to the paint and it helps not have brush strokes? I didn't know sucha thing existed. I am happy to hear about this and am going to look for it. I love your transformed piece of furniture! Thanks for sharing.

The Old Timer of Royal Oak, Mich., was a regular contributor to H&P years before we ever even heard of the internet. But most of his advice is just as ueful — and interesting — today.
So rather than leave his wisdom printed on pages archived in our storage room, I pulled out issues from the late 1980s and early 1990s and will reproduce relevant entries in this blog. Here is my seventh entry, which was originally published in the February 1988 issue:
It's tough to outwit the night shift
One of our foundries had a complex sand moving system with pneumatically actuated rubber pinch valves to turn flow on and off. The valves operated at 45 psi; with no pressure, the valve was fully open; with 45 psi, the valve fully closed. At higher pressures, rubber bladders could break, mixing air with the sand and fouling the system. That was our problem: the operators always wanted to crank up the pressure.
Our first fix was to set the master regulator and saw off the adjustment handle. The next day, we discovered that the night shift had cut a screwdriver slot into the handle stub so they could change the adjustment. Next, we tried a non-adjustable regulator, only to find it had been replaced by an adjustable model some time during the night shift. A couple of other attempts to lock the air pressure also were thwarted — and, of course, no one ever admitted to tinkering with the equipment.
I finally came up with what was essentially an alarm system. On a high and difficult-to-reach section of the air piping network, I installed a 50-psi relief valve and connected its outlet to an old-fashioned steam whistle. If someone turned up the regulator, the whistle blew immediately and called attention to the culprit.
The night shift guys gave up, but they still had the last laugh. They used the steam whistle as an adjustment guide. When their shift began, they'd turn up the regulator until the whistle sounded, then back down the adjustment until it stopped. That way, they had the maximum pressure that our system would permit.

SHANKSVILLE, Pa. (AP) -- A western Pennsylvania county is exploring the possibility of extending a public trail system to the Flight 93 National Memorial.
The Daily American (http://bit.ly/12BCQSX ) reports Sunday that Somerset County will seek proposals for a feasibility study on the best way to extend the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail north to the Flight 93 National Memorial.
The memorial honors the passengers and crew members killed when the plane crashed into a field on Sept. 11, 2001, after they fought back against hijackers.
Somerset County has obtained more than $100,000 in grants and donations for the project. Officials expect to hire a firm to conduct the study sometime this fall.
National Parks of Western Pennsylvania Deputy Superintendent Keith Newlin says he's happy to see the effort.

BMW has released details on its 2011 BMW R1200GS Triple Black, a limited edition GS that's well…black. Showing us the Triple Black ahead of the bike's official debut at the Milan EICMA show in two weeks time, the new GS is basically a combination of some black paint and BMW's premium parts package for the R1200GS.
With sapphire black metallic paint, and murdered cross-spoke wheels, front forks, engine casings, the Triple Black is accented with asphalt grey metallic paint on the swingarm, rear sub-frame, and valve covers. BMW's Premium Package includes Enduro Electronic Suspension Adjustment, heated grips, hand guards, anti-lock brakes, and pannier mounting points.

Half of all Vietnam's mangroves are in Ca Mau, its southernmost province. Over 60,000 hectares of Ca Mau's mangroves are managed by seven forest management units and one national park, which don't have the man power or funding to do the job properly. The mangrove forests are difficult to access and to protect and there are cases of government officials being attacked by illegal mangrove cutters.
Nhung Mien Forest Management Unit, in Ngoc Hien District, covers 12,000 hectares. Management board staff use rulers and paper maps to measure forest area. This is slow and inaccurate. IUCN and SNV, with the help of Dr. Vo Quoc Tuan a professor at Can Tho University who recently competed his PhD in Germany, recently organized a 3-day training course to train staff to use GPS and GIS to update farm units and forest maps.
Ten management board staff were trained to use GPS to quickly and accurately map farm boundaries and land use. They the learned how to download the GPS points into a GIS program to visualize what they had just mapped and check the results for accuracy. These new skills will help them in their daily work mapping, managing, and protecting mangroves.
With German government funding, IUCN and SNV are working with Ca Mau-based Ming Phu, one of the world's largest seafood processors, to certify1,000 farmers in Nhung Mien to produce organic shrimp. A condition for certification is that farmers maintain 60% of their land under mangrove. Nhung Mien Forest Management Board will use GPS and GIS to help monitor compliance with this condition.

In another sign of how cyber currency Bitcoin has moved into the mainstream, WPCS International (NASDAQ:WPCS) this week unveiled the public release of a Bitcoin trading platform.
Continue Reading Below
The late Thursday announcement drove thinly-traded shares of WPCS 80% higher on Friday morning. (It's worth noting that WPCS has a tiny market capitalization of just over $4 million, so its stock is subject to volatility).
WPCS said BTX Trader is the first trading platform that lets traders and industry researchers access market data and execute orders on the five most popular Bitcoin exchanges in a single application.
BTX Trader is based on Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows and is for now only being released in beta format.
The move comes after WPCS acquired BTX Trader, an early-stage technology company, on December 17 in an all-stock deal. Previously, WPCS had only specialized in engineering services for communications infrastructure.
"Now that we have completed this pioneering acquisition in the emerging Bitcoin industry, we intend to hit the ground running," WPCS interim CEO Sebastian Giordano said in a statement.
WPCS said it's on track to release the web and mobile versions of its platform by early 2014. Giordano expects the service to generate revenue by the middle of 2014.
The program will allow users to access real-time information on six Bitcoin exchanges: CampBX, BTC-E, BitStamp, BTC China, Mt. Gox and CaVirtex.
"This public beta release is merely the first step towards establishing and then growing the Bitcoin segment of our business," Giordano said.
The announcement underscores the enormous attention Bitcoin has commanded this year. The digital currency allows users to anonymously convert local currencies like dollars into Bitcoin at a rate that fluctuates with the market.
Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin is not controlled by central bank policies and has so far avoided serious regulatory scrutiny -- although that may soon change.
Bitcoin's valuation has been highly volatile but is clearly trending way up. After trading at just $100 in July, Bitcoin has surged as high as $1,200 in recent weeks and was trading at just over $800 on Friday.

But that's what happened.
I'd just returned from dinner with my parents. My boyfriend was taking a nap and I grabbed the pages of the manuscript I'd been revising, settling down on the couch next to my laptop. I'd been revising for a half an hour or so when I realized I hadn't checked my e-mail since earlier that afternoon.
I saw the contract first.
It confused me. Why was I receiving a contract for representation when I hadn't yet spoken to the agent? I knew this one agent had been looking at the complete of my favorite of all of the novels I've ever written. My fellow writers know what I'm talking about. When an agent who is on our "A list" asks for a complete, we are aware every second of every day she has it. Every time we check our e-mail or get a phone call from a number we don't recognize, we think of her first.
This contract was from that agency. I exited out of the e-mail and there it was, in my inbox. "Response on Ghost Patrol."
Yes, I'd gotten "the call." I'd heard about it for years. That big moment in every unpublished writer's life. There's another call...that one comes from your agent telling you someone wants to buy your book. But that first call is a big one. That first call tells you someone believes in you.
How often these days is "the call" an e-mail?
I always imagined how I'd react when I got the call. Would I cry? Would I scream? In reality, I did neither of those things. I stared. I sat on my sofa, reading and re-reading the e-mail, looking for the loophole. I knew of the agency but I went online and researched and found only rave reviews of them. This is one very respected agency. I looked over the contract and everything was there, as it should be.
Then I got up, went to the front bedroom where my dog was looking out the window, and told her the good news.
She didn't know why we were excited but she partied with me. Once I calmed her down again I debated waking my boyfriend up but I decided that could wait. I went to Facebook and told everyone. Then I called my mom. Finally, I woke the boyfriend.
He was almost as excited as I was. "We need champagne," he said, putting his shoes on. "I'm going to get champagne." When he came back, he told me the man at the liquor store said congratulations.
"Did you tell EVERYONE?" I asked, laughing.
"Just him. Oh, and I text-messaged our neighbor. I tried to call Chris [his friend] but he didn't answer."
Champagne cork popped, we toasted my good news, then he took a picture of me with champagne in hand, e-mail open on my screen.
(Forgive the total lack of makeup. It was ten o'clock at night!)
I kept waking up, throughout the night, remembering my dreams had come true, then going back to sleep. When finally it was time to get up, I realized it was reality time.
Now I had to begin to take all the steps that came next...
Fifteen years have prepared me for this. Trust me...when your time comes, it will happen fast. So learn all you can now and listen to what people say when they advise you what to do when you get "the call." Without learning what I'd learned over the years from various writer's groups, I would have been lost.
Plus, without all those years of hard work, I wouldn't have even come close to appreciating this moment as I do now!

Summer proves tragic for Pine County
As Pine County Sheriff, I write a quarterly column to update residents on current events within the Sheriff's Office. We have now completed the third quarter of 2012.
I am saddened to report that during the last half of the summer 12 people were killed in motor vehicle accidents in our county. Two of these accidents accounted for seven of the deaths. This number of deadly crashes, in such a short period of time, is unprecedented in scope and tragedy. Fatal automobile accidents are a far too common experience in the lives of emergency responders, but few responders ever attend the victims of triple or quadruple fatal wrecks. Unfortunately, many of our emergency responders now live with these horrific images and the knowledge that some of the victims were their family, friends and neighbors. My prayers go out to all those involved.
The Sheriff's Office continues working to coordinate flood recovery efforts in the northern part of the county. This has proven to be a frustrating and slow process as those affected work through multiple federal and state agencies in an attempt to rebuild their homes. This process may take several years and the Sheriff's Office will continue to assist victims by coordinating recovery efforts. Many people have contributed to these efforts and I would like to recognize the work of our office manager/emergency management coordinator Denise Baran. On top of her other duties, Baran has taken the lead in the flood recovery effort. She has demonstrated a level of compassion and diligence to duty that goes far beyond her compensation and responsibilities. She is a credit to the Sheriff's Office and Pine County.
The volunteer Posse spent the summer providing service to the various fairs and festivals in our county. The service the Posse provides is invaluable to ensuring all of our community events were safe and family orientated. When tallied, their volunteer service equals over 2,000 hours of time provided to the citizens of our county at no cost. Members of the Posse also assisted in recovering the body of a drowning victim in Cross Lake and spent many hours serving as fire guards patrolling the blow-down areas.
During the last quarter our "Peace Keeper" armored car went into service, providing protection to our SWAT team. The Sheriff's Office received the vehicle from the Department of Defense on permanent loan, free of charge. The automotive program at the Federal Prison in Sandstone provided needed mechanical repairs free of charge, and although our "Peace Keeper" is over 20 years old it has already proven its usefulness in protecting our SWAT team during three high risk raids.
Work continues on implementation of the new 800 MHz radio network and fire paging system. The main electronic components have been installed and are functional. Programming and installation of radios has been completed in our patrol cars and new hand-held radios have been issued to deputies. The Sheriff's Office and county highway department are operating on the new system. The various volunteer fire departments have been issued their portion of the new radios so they can transition to the 800 MHz system.
The "2011 Pine County State Audit" has been released and I am happy to report that 2011 produced the best financial report for the Sheriff's Office in at least the last eight years. The report shows only a one percent ($116,000) overage in the overall 8.5 million dollar public safety budget for 2011. Of that overage there are costs that we have little control over. For instance, rising fuel costs and automotive maintenance costs alone amounted to $70,000 of the $116,000 overage. Again, the good news is that the State Auditor reports that we are within one percent of our 2011 budget expectations.
For the third quarter (75 percent) of 2012, overall the Sheriff's Office has expended 76 percent of our budget. We have spent the following percentage of each budget: sheriff 82 percent, corrections 69 percent, and dispatch 66 percent. It should be noted that expenditures are trending down.
Listen for weekly updates, during the Pine County Sheriff's Report, Thursday mornings at 0730 on WCMP radio.
Thank you for the support.

Comedian Kevin Hart on Saturday made an incendiary entrance at the first of his four shows at Hampton Coliseum.
He slowly rose from beneath the stage amid billowing red smoke, then glided toward the audience aboard a conveyor belt. Next, tall jets of flame shot toward the rafters.
Hart said he was inspired to add pyro to his show after seeing a concert by rap stars Jay-Z and Kanye West. He thanked the crowd and noted that tickets to his Hampton shows Saturday and Sunday had sold at a blazing pace. That called for -- you guessed it -- more jets of flame.
"I'm setting this stage on fire -- literally!" he boasted.
Next, the crowd of 5,500 was treated to stream-of-consciousness tales about the risks of dishonesty in relationships. It's a subject about which the recently divorced Hart seems to feel passionately. "Lying will ruin your life, people!" he said. "Lying ruined my marriage. That's a lie. I cheated."
Hart's skyrocketing popularity, both in Hampton Roads and the nation, is one of the big entertainment stories of still-young 2012. His manic storytelling comes across as a hybrid of Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor. It's thoroughly modern and refreshingly self-deprecating.
"It's something we can relate to day to day," said 38-year-old Virginia Beach resident Fred Baxter, a Navy man who has been following Hart's career since his "Soul Plane" days. "We all have that family member that's a little … funny. He's just a down-to-earth guy."
Baxter was at the show with Navy friends. He just recently returned from a deployment and was looking forward to unwinding with a few laughs at Hampton Coliseum.
"This is a great way to celebrate being back, to go hear some great humor from a great comic."
Baxter's friend Fred Martin said there's no magic formula that's fueling Hart's popularity. "I can relate to him. I think everybody here can relate to him."
One Hampton fan said he believes Hart's growing popularity is simply a factor of the comic's drive and persistence. "He keeps it fresh," said Armand Harper, 27, of Hampton. Harper saw Hart perform last year at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk. "He's been working hard. He has a good work ethic."
Jason Ramsey, 35, of Hampton described himself as an avid comedy fan, one who often drives to Virginia Beach to see stand-up shows at the Funny Bone comedy club. From Hart's movie and television appearances, Ramsey can tell that the comedian has refined his act. "He seems to get funnier and funnier as time goes on. He just hits the spot. He's very good at what he does."
Ramsey was somewhat surprised that Hart had sold out so many shows in Hampton. "I didn't realize he was this popular," he said. "But I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm definitely not alone."
While Hart described all four Hampton shows as sell-outs, Coliseum staff said some tickets remain for his 10:30 p.m. performance on Sunday, Feb. 12.

Palo Alto Online Sports
When the women's soccer season began in August, all eyes were on the Stanford-Notre Dame contest, a rematch of last year's national championship game. As it turned out, beating Penn State in the season opener was far more impressive.
The top-ranked and overall No. 1 seeded Cardinal (19-0-1) opens the NCAA tournament at home against Montana on Friday night at 7 p.m. The Grizzlies (6-11-4) won the Big Sky tournament title to earn a trip to the Bay Area.
Stanford enjoys a strong challenge in its nonconference schedule, which is why teams like Notre Dame, Maryland and North Carolina often appear. Penn State was supposed to be one of the easier tests.
It hasn't turned out that way. The Nittany Lions won the Big Ten Conference title and was on a 13-match winning streak before losing in its tournament championship game to Illinois.
Penn State's Maya Hayes did not get a shot off against Stanford and then went on to lead the nation with 27 goals.
This is all just another way of suggesting that women's soccer is no longer limited to a handful of successful teams and that the NCAA tournament is full of competitive soccer squads that could win on any given day.
Overall, the Cardinal played 10 teams during the regular season, four of them from the Pac-12, which earned spots in the postseason. Penn State and UC Irvine were the most successful, each winning their respective regular season titles, and then both losing in their conference tournaments.
But what of Notre Dame, you may ask. The Irish may still reach the title game but will have a more difficult time of it this year. They finished third in the National Division of the Big East Conference, and had the fifth most points overall.
Notre Dame suffered seven losses (Penn State and the Anteaters combined for eight losses) while the Tar Heels, who Stanford did not play this year, yet, finished with five losses and in third place in the ACC.
Portland, which has won the national title, was fifth in the West Coast Conference and enters the postseason with an overall .500 mark. Santa Clara, also a former national champion, lost on the final day of the conference season and finished third. The Broncos' only other loss was to Stanford.
Maryland, which is responsible for the only blemish on the Cardinal record to date, went nowhere in the ACC, finishing seventh, and still made the postseason.
UCLA, a Final Four regular, finished second to Stanford in the Pac-12 and the Bruins' only loss was at Stanford. California, Washington State and Oregon State were also named as at-large teams.
"Everything is a preparation for the postseason," Stanford assistant coach Nicole Van Dyke said. "Teams playing us different ways, having to prepare differently . . . we can't really let up."
The Cardinal may be favored to win its first national title after reaching the past two championship matches, but the road remains full of dips, sudden turns and no passing lanes.
Stanford may be the overwhelming favorite to get by Montana this week and host either Texas or South Carolina next week, but there are no givens. The Cardinal must maintain focus or risk giving up something cheap.
"I want see us play our best in the final game," Stanford coach Paul Ratcliffe said.
Luckily, the Cardinal can play at home the next four games if it keeps winning. The senior class of Lindsay Taylor, Teresa Noyola, Camille Levin and Kristy Zurmuhlen, has not lost a home match during their distinguished careers.
"The crowd is critical to our success," Ratcliffe said. "We've had a few sold-out crowds and they help us. It's like a 12th man on the field for us. We really appreciate all the support we're getting."
Stanford made its final tuneup for the postseason a good one as Taylor and Zurmuhlen scored within 40 seconds of each other in the first half to lead Stanford to a 2-0 victory over Cal in a rainy Pac-12 women's soccer season finale last Friday night. The victory allowed the Cardinal to earn its place in history.
Stanford (19-0-1 overall, 11-0 Pac-12) became just the second school to finish three consecutive regular seasons unbeaten, and the first to do so since North Carolina from 1991-93. Stanford extended its regular-season unbeaten streak to 62, its home winning streak to 46, and its conference winning streak to 31.
The four-member senior class of Camille Levin, Teresa Noyola, Taylor, and Zurmuhlen has a regular-season record of 75-1-1 and has never lost at home.

Staying next to the ski runs means, you wake up at the heart of the Hinterstoder ski area. When leaving the house in the morning, you can immediately get onto your skis - and off you go!
Ski runs range from demanding, "black" labeled mogul runs to carving slopes, a snowboard park, a beginners' hill and the Kiddy Ski Land. Hinterstoder has played host to a number of World Cup ski races and has therefore gained an international reputation. Ski passes are easily affordable for families, too - and food in the mountain restaurants and lodges is also offered at reasonable rates.
Ski holidays directly at the ski piste at Berghof Sturmgut.
South-facing pistes, snow security, 45km of pistes at an altitude of 600m - 2,000m.

The anxiety of departure was quickly replaced by the thrill of stopover ports.
Stopovers were practical necessities to restock the ship with fuel and food, and to load and unload passengers. For the migrants on board, many of whom had never travelled before, these stopovers were adventures that offered opportunities to meet the locals, bargain for souvenirs and sample a heady new mix of sights, sounds and smells.
The excitement was a tangible thing that you could feel mounting to a fever pitch as we approached our first stop off at a foreign port. No-one knew quite what to expect.Leonard Rutland migrated from England in 1947.

Which stopover ports were visited depended on the shipping line and the particular route taken to reach Australia. Throughout the postwar period, the most common route taken from Europe was through the Suez Canal, although access was at times dictated by political circumstances. When the Suez was closed, ships took the longer route, heading around the southernmost point of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope.
Migrant departure points included various ports in the United Kingdom, western Europe or along the Mediterranean and African coast. After entering the Suez Canal, stopovers began with Port Said in Egypt, followed by Suez at the southern end of the canal, the former British colonial outpost of Port Aden in Yemen, Sri Lanka's (formerly Ceylon) capital of Colombo, and the Western Australian port of Fremantle.
Ships initially returned to Europe via the Suez Canal but, by the 1960s, many lines had decided to take advantage of the increase in tourist trade and adopted a round-the-world route, returning to Europe through the Panama Canal in Central America.

Buying souvenirs was an exciting part of the stopover experience. Goods were unusual and exotic, providing a keepsake of visits to places that most migrants from Europe and Britain had never seen before, and would probably never see again.
Along the Suez Canal passengers could buy from onshore markets and the ever present street vendors or shop in the small city laneways. Many have vivid memories of the floating markets of tiny rowing boats and traditional Nile feluccas that would suddenly appear and surround the ship.
Some found the vendors overly zealous in their efforts to entice the travellers to buy a trinket.
Looking for souvenirs was great fun. We didn't have much money in those days, so learnt how to bargain pretty quickly.Steve Duane migrated from Ireland in 1963
We tried to move away from them as quickly as possible, saying 'No. No.' to every artifact they thrust at our faces.Frank Kriesl migrated from Hungary in 1951.

The aromas were pungent, the languages, landscapes and architecture were unfamiliar. This simply added to the holiday atmosphere of the voyage.
Most passengers grabbed the opportunity to explore independently or organise sightseeing tours in taxis, camels or bullock-drawn carriages. Some migrants recall visits to snake charmers, local landmarks or cottage industries.
But people did not have to leave the ship to encounter the wonder of new cultures, such as when a Sultan with a harem came on board:
We were overwhelmed at the (Colombo) wharf by an all-pervading, enveloping aroma, which we discovered once on shore to be the smell of curries from the motley array of food stalls beyond the terminal. From one of these we tasted real fresh coconut for the first time.Joe Vella migrated from Malta in 1955.
... we did occasionally get a glimpse of these voluptuous, exotic females, complete with 'see-through' harem pants, turned-up slippers, bras and yashmaks. We never saw much of the Sultan... Too exhausted, I guess?Leonard Rutland migrated from England in 1947.

The final leg of the journey was broken by a celebration on crossing the equator – a festive event that had been a maritime tradition since before 1800. It was originally an initiation rite for young sailors.
By the 1900s, the festivities had become much more elaborate. Led by the crew, who painted their faces and dressed in flowing robes or grass skirts, passengers volunteered to be covered in shaving cream and 'shaved' with mock razors. They were then thrown in the swimming pool. Everyone received a certificate to mark the occasion.

Athletes and other people who exercise vigorously risk injury. Sports injuries often occur in people who are new to a sport, begin to exercise after prolonged inactivity, or do not warm up properly before exercise. Men are at greater risk because they play more contact sports. Any part of the musculoskeletal system may be injured while playing sports. In some sports, there is an iNoidaeased risk of injury to a specific part of the body.
Bone injuries
Many sports activities can cause damage to the bones, either through repetitive actions or as a result of an impact with another person, the ground, or equipment, such as a bat or a ball. Bones may be broken or cracked during contact sports such as rugby. The repetitive jarring of bones of the lower limbs of runners may cause stress fractures.
Joint injuries
The bones that form a joint may partially or completely pull apart during sports that put them under great strain, such as javelin throwing. Dislocation is also a risk in all contact sports. A common injury among football players is damage to the cartilage pads in the knee joint .
Ligament and tendon injuries
The fibrous bands of tissue that hold the structures of the musculoskeletal system together are often injured during sports activities. Ligaments, which hold the bones together, may become damaged by a sudden twisting movement or during a fall . Tendons, which attach muscle to bone, may become torn during athletic activities, such as jumping, that involve a sudden muscle contraction.
Muscle injuries
Most sports rely on strength and suppleness of the muscles, and damage to muscles is common in athletes . For example, calf strain, overstretching of the muscles in the calf region, is a common injury in basketball players. Muscle injury is frequently caused by sudden, strenuous movements and lifting heavy objects.
Many sports injuries could be prevented by warming up correctly before starting exercise (see Warming up and cooling down in your exercise routine). Adequate preparation can iNoidaease flexibility and reduce stiffness in the muscles and joints. In sports such as running, you should start gently, gradually iNoidaeasing your pace to prevent placing too much strain on your body. Wear clothes and footwear designed for your type of sport and use recommended safety equipment.
Many minor injuries to ligaments, tendons, and muscles can be treated using basic techniques, such as applying a cold compress or an ice pack to the affected areas, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. If a sports injury is causing intense or persistent pain, you should consult a doctor. He or she will examine you and may arrange for you to have an X-ray to check whether you have sustained a fracture.
If you have a fracture, it may be necessary to immobilize the injured area by using a cast (see Fracture treatments). Surgery may be required for some injuries, such as a ruptured tendon. You may also need physiotherapy from a sports therapist. You should not participate in any sports until you are free of pain.

Holloway desperate to reach top flight
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway laughed off suggestions his side were "not ready" for the Barclays Premier League after the Seasiders took a 2-1 lead in the first leg of their Coca-Cola Championship play-off semi-final against Nottingham Forest.
When asked whether his side, who were last in the top flight in 1971, would be better off spending another season in the Championship, Holloway countered: "Have you been drinking my friend? Are you deadly serious? How on earth, with that great big load of money that they get - and they get richer and richer every year - are we ever going to compete with them?
"So I've got to get there and I don't care if we take a thumping week in, week out, I don't care."
Blackpool, promoted via the League One play-offs in 2007, will defend a slender advantage at the City Ground on Tuesday after coming back from a goal down to cancel out Chris Cohen's thunderbolt, which had given Forest a 13th-minute lead.
Keith Southern levelled for Blackpool midway through the first half and Charlie Adam held his nerve to convert a 57th-minute penalty after DJ Campbell had been tripped by James Perch in the box.
Holloway, who insisted he has not been apprehensive about his side's chances, added the Seasiders would be going all out to attack Forest at the City Ground.
"I'm honestly not nervous. I'm not worried. I'm enjoying the thing because I'm pleased how the players are responding," he added. "I haven't got anything life-threatening happening to me so I'm absolutely buzzing. Proud of my team, proud of the colour and let's see what we can do on Tuesday because today was only ever going to be the half-time whistle.
"What are their stats like at home? I've got to be very wary of that. I don't think one goal's enough. We're going to have to score down there because I think they will, truthfully."

Inevitably it is Lake Como, with its rich treasury of tales and history, that takes centre stage here. A triumph of serenity, calm waters and fascinating atmosphere. And besides the natural beauty of the place we have added three swimming pools over the years: three turquoise jewels. Indoor and outdoor, for guests to swim all year round, amidst the flowers or on the lake itself.
At Grand Hotel Tremezzo you can always be sure of a plunge into the blue. An authentic triumph dominated by the sparkling waters of the lake. Some might wonder why we have gone so far to add beauty to an already fabulous natural setting. But a hundred years ago this spot was the site of a sophisticated tourism which we are eager to preserve and share with our guests today.

Continuing a tradition as old as the 911 itself, the ass-engined slot cars of fascist origins continue to enter rally races, now in GT3 form. With no ride height, huge wings and and engines in entirely the wrong place, they look entirely out of place doing so. But that serves merely to emphasize their awesomeness.
In its latest form, the 911 GT3 RSR (997) factory rally car makes 450 HP form its 3.8-liter boxer six. A far cry from the 128 HP of the original. The traction afforded on loose surfaces by all that engine hanging behind the rear axle is said to provide some sort of benefit on dirt or gravel rally stages, something offset by its pendulum effect spins if this video is anything to go by.

Fibroblasts are the principal cells of connective tissue, which is distributed widely throughout the body and functions chiefly in providing structural support and protection. Similar to other connective tissue cells, fibroblasts develop in embryos from the mesenchyme, a network of loosely packed, unspecialized cells that have the potential to differentiate in several different ways. Fibroblasts are extremely important for wound healing since they produce tropocollagen, the precursor of collagen. The cells also typically produce glycosaminoglycans, fibers, and glycoproteins, which together comprise the extracellular matrix of connective tissue. Large and flat, fibroblasts usually exhibit branched cytoplasm and an elliptical, flat nucleus with one or more nucleoli.
The UMNSAH/DF-1 cell culture presented in the digital image above was labeled for mitochondria and the cytoskeletal filamentous actin network with MitoTracker Red CMXRos and Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin, respectively. In addition, the ultraviolet-absorbing probe DAPI was utilized to target nuclear DNA. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for children younger than 13.
April 2019
There are mandatory safety belt laws in all states except New Hampshire. In some states, these laws cover front-seat occupants only, but belt laws in 29 states and the District of Columbia cover all rear-seat occupants, too.
Belt use laws in only
34 states and the District of Columbia
are primary, meaning police may stop vehicles solely for belt law violations. In other jurisdictions, police must have some other reason to stop a vehicle before citing an occupant for failing to buckle up.
Safety belt use can have implications in civil suits — 16 states allow the "safety belt defense," which can reduce damages collected by someone in a crash if the person failed to buckle up. The reduction is permitted only for injuries that would have been prevented by a belt. In some states, the reduction may not exceed a fixed percentage of the damages.
All 50 states and the District of Columbia
have child safety seat laws. Child safety seat laws require children to travel in approved child restraints or booster seats and some permit or require older children to use adult safety belts. The age at which belts can be used instead of child safety seats differs among the states. Young children usually are covered by child safety seat laws, while safety belt laws cover older children and adults.
Because enforcement and fines differ under belt use and child safety seat laws, it's important to know which law is being violated when a child isn't restrained. Most child seat safety laws are primary, meaning police may stop vehicles solely for child safety seat violations. Nebraska and Ohio leave some children under a secondary enforcement law, meaning that police must have an additional reason to make a stop. Nebraska's law is secondary only for those children who may be in safety belts and primary for those who must be in a child safety seat. Ohio's law is secondary for children ages 4 through 14 years.
Ideally, all infants and children in all vehicles should be covered by enforceable safety belt laws or child safety seat laws or both. But differences in the way the laws in various states are worded result in many occupants, especially children, being covered by neither law. Lawmakers have eliminated most of these gaps by amending their child safety seat and safety belt laws; still, 15-year-olds riding in the rear seat in Arkansas, Alabama and Ohio, and children age 9 or older who are not taller than 4 feet 9 inches riding in the rear seat in Oklahoma are covered by neither law. All children younger than 16 in the other 46 states and the District of Columbia are covered by one, or both laws.
In April 2011, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued a policy statement recommending that children ride in rear-facing child safety seats until at least age 2. Previously, the recommendation was rear-facing until at least age 1 and 20 pounds. Since the AAP's change, 12 states (California, Connecticut, Illinois, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon and Virginia) and the District of Columbia have updated their child restraint laws accordingly. In August 2018, the AAP further modified its policy statement to eliminate any reference to a numerical age. The current recommendation is for children to ride rear-facing until they reach the rear-facing weight or height limit of their seats.
1This state assesses points for violations.
2In California, children weighing more than 40 pounds may be belted without a booster seat if they are seated in the rear seat of a vehicle with only lap belts. The California rear seat requirement does not apply if there is no rear seat; the rear seats are side-facing jump seats; the rear seats are rear-facing seats; the child passenger restraint system cannot be installed properly in the rear seat; all rear seats are already occupied by children under 8; or medical reasons necessitate that the child not ride in the rear seat. A child may not ride in the front seat of a motor vehicle with an active passenger airbag if the child is riding in a rear-facing child restraint system.
3Connecticut also requires a mandatory child restraint education program for first or second violation.
4In Delaware, children younger than 12 and 65 inches or less must be restrained in a rear seat if a vehicle has a passenger airbag unless the airbag has been either deactivated or designed to accommodate smaller people. Exceptions: no rear seat or rear seat occupied by other children younger than 12 and 65 inches or less.
5In Florida, the child restraint device requirement does not apply to children age 4 through 5, when a safety belt is used and the child is either being transported by an operator who is not a member of the child's immediate family, in an emergency or has a documented medical condition that necessitates an exception.
6In Georgia, the maximum fine is $25 if the child is 6-18 years old.
7In Georgia, children weighing more than 40 pounds are permitted to be restrained in the back seat of a vehicle by a lap belt if the vehicle is not equipped with lap and shoulder belts or when the lap and shoulder belts are being used by other children who weigh more than 40 pounds.
8Hawaii drivers are charged $50 for a mandatory child restraint education program and a $10 surcharge deposited into a neurotrauma fund.
9In Indiana, children weighing more than 40 pounds are permitted to be restrained by a lap belt if the vehicle is not equipped with lap and shoulder belts or if all lap and shoulder belts other than those in the front seat are being used to restrain other children younger than 16.
10Drivers in Massachusetts may be fined $25 for violating the belt law themselves and $25 for each unrestrained passenger age 12, 13, 14 or 15 years old.
11In Connecticut, unless the total fine and costs imposed for the violation are $10 or less, the person may be ordered to pay a $40 justice system
12Nebraska's law is secondary for those children who may be in safety belts and standard for those who must be in a child restraint device.
13In Nevada, the minimum fine is $100. An alternative to the fine is at least 10 but not more than 50 hours of community service.
14New York only assesses points when the violation involves a child under 16.
15In Ohio, the law is secondary for children 4 — 14.
16Oklahoma's applicable statutory provision, 47 Okl. Stat. Section 11-1112, specifies "8 years of age," and not "8 years of age or older." A literal interpretation of the code would allow a child 9+ years or older who is not taller than 4 feet 9 inches to ride unrestrained in the back seat.
17Police are prohibited in South Carolina from enforcing safety belt laws at checkpoints designed for that purpose. However, safety belt violations may be issued at license and registration checkpoints to drivers cited for other offenses.
18Until 7/1/2018, citations will be issued only if the person has been previously issued a warning that the operation of or being a passenger in a vehicle without wearing a properly adjusted and fastened safety belt is prohibited.
19In Utah, the court shall waive the fine for a first violation of the child safety seat law if the violator submits proof of acquisition of a device, effective May 28, 2018.
20In Virginia, children 4 — 7 years may use an adult belt only if any licensed physician determines that use of a child safety seat would be impractical because of the child's weight, height, physical fitness, or other medical reason. The person transporting the must carry the doctor's signed statement.
21Wyoming rewards observed belt use by reducing the fines for other traffic violations by $10.

Author Notes: Sometimes great kitchen disasters lead to most surprising dishes. I have a wonderful recipe for cookies with flour, cheese and butter, and was trying to adapt it to work with oats. The first batch of cookies went nowhere. The cookies fell apart and literally turned into crumbs. Correction: they turned into the most delicious crumbs imaginable. I had a great deal of dough left, and plenty of room to experiment. And that is how a lovely pasta was born. —QueenSashy
Food52 Review: WHO: QueenSashy is a self-professed cooking addict from New York City.
WHAT: A unique pasta with customizable spice and a process that's mostly hands-off.
HOW: Endure chill and bake times for the cheesy oat crumbs, then boil some pasta, and eat!
WHY WE LOVE IT: This is a cookie dough experiment gone wrong, and we couldn't be happier for the kitchen disaster. You'll swear the crumb mixture tastes familiar, and you'll agree -- a dough once destined for cookies is a revelation on pasta. —The Editors
Serves: 6-8
ounces old fashioned rolled oats
ounces Asiago cheese, finely grated
ounces butter, softened
ounces cavatelli (farfalle, spaghetti, pappardelle and fettuccine also work well)
Freshly ground pepper
Red pepper flakes (optional)
- In a food processor, grind the oats until powdery.
- In a large bowl, mix the oat powder, Asiago and butter. Mix well and knead with your hands for a couple of minutes until it comes together into uniform dough. Press the dough into a disk (or cube, or any other shape of your liking) and refrigerate for about 2 hours, until very firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the fridge, and using a cheese grater, grate the dough over the baking sheet. (Make sure the gratings are uniformly distributed).
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven, and leave the gratings on it to crisp.
- In the meantime, cook your pasta to al dente. Drain the pasta and arrange it on individual plates. Pour the crumb mixture over the top, and season to taste with pepper and red pepper flakes (this is optional -- I like them, but my husband does not). Toss well and serve very hot.

- fixes some numeric display resolution for some parameters in AU plugin hosts
- new bindable commands record_exclusive, record_exclusive_prev/next which first end any operations on other loops, then start recording on the specified/selected, or switch to the next/prev then record. exclusive record commands also select whatever loop they are applied to.
- also added record_or_overdub_excl* commands which are the same as above except use the record_or_overdub logic instead.
- added optional press/release logic to commands in AU. look for a new toggle parameter called "Press/release for commands" (in AU plugin generic interface) and
turn it on. Then try out mainstage's press/release button bindings, and set press to be 1, and release to be 0. Let me know.
- Added double tap for the record_or_overdub* commands which does a single UNDO. Remember, a long press of record_or_overdub (note bindings must be used) does Undo All. This makes record_or_overdub variants candidates for one button do-it-all basic looping.
- added command line utility (slregister) that will set up automatic updating of all SL's OSC parameters to the given OSC host and port of your choice.
this is useful when using custom OSC clients in PD/Max, or applications like Osculator (on mac).

Napoli 3 Chelsea 1 : Dire defending sink Blues
CHELSEA lurched to another defeat to leave them in real danger of crashing out of the Champions League against Napoli.
Manager Villas-Boas has repeatedly insisted his job would not depend on the outcome of the last-16 tie with Napoli but, despite an improved attacking performance, his players heaped more pressure on him with another defensive horror show.
Juan Mata had given Chelsea the lead with what they will be desperately hoping proves a vital away goal
Having thrown away winning positions countless times both at home and abroad since Villas-Boas took charge, Chelsea did so again tonight to make it five matches without a win.
They may have had a complaint about the goal that gave Napoli the lead, with Edinson Cavani appearing to turn the ball in with his shoulder, but their defending for the outstanding Ezequiel Lavezzi's double was simply shocking.
A 3-1 win was no more than Champions League surprise package Napoli deserved - despite gifting Juan Mata the opening goal - with their attacking trio wreaking havoc against a defence once again badly missing the leadership of injured captain John Terry.
Villas-Boas may also come under fire for not starting with Frank Lampard or Michael Essien in what is regarded one of the most hostile atmospheres in Europe.
Indeed, the cacophonous Napoli fans, swirling wind and driving rain gave the whole occasion an almost apocalyptic feel.
The visitors were immediately under pressure, Petr Cech needing to be alert to race off his line, while captain-for-the-night Didier Drogba briefly stayed down after a clash of heads.
Both were a prelude for worse to follow in the 10th minute when Cech produced real heroics after Cavani looked certain to convert Lavezzi's pass, the goalkeeper just getting his foot to the ball.
Injury really did then strike when Jose Bosingwa limped off with what looked like a hamstring pull, forcing a half-fit Ashley Cole on far earlier than expected.
More brilliance from Cech denied Christian Maggio from a tight angle but Napoli were looking far from secure at the back themselves and, from nothing, they gifted Chelsea the lead.
Drogba found Daniel Sturridge, whose cross was inexplicably flicked back towards his own goal by Paolo Cannavaro, falling perfectly for Mata to fire left-footed beyond Morgan De Sanctis.
A stunned San Paolo struggled to process what had happened, with the visiting fans finally able to make themselves heard.
They might have been celebrating again when Sturridge wasted a glorious opportunity to play in Mata for goal number two, instead greedily trying to beat his man, while the resultant corner saw David Luiz power a header narrowly over.
Chelsea were in the ascendancy but they allowed Napoli to level seven minutes before half-time, Lavezzi given an age with which to curl a beautiful 25-yard shot beyond Cech.
Ramires should have restored the visitors' lead when the home defence parted in front of him but he blazed over the bar.
Raul Meireles was booked for handball, suspending himself for the second leg, and there was a suspicion of the same as Napoli scored again two minutes into first stoppage-time.
Gokhan Inler's cross reached the far post and Cavani leant his shoulder into the ball to turn it home, the home fans letting off a firework in jubilation.
Villas-Boas refused to shut up shop after the interval and Marek Hamsik was forced to clear off his own line, while Florent Malouda drilled a volley too close to De Sanctis.
But Napoli should have punished another error when Meireles gave Cavani the chance to feed Lavezzi, who dragged wide.
Gary Cahill was booked for clattering into the livewire forward and Mata volleyed another shot straight at De Sanctis before a desperate Salvatore Aronica clearance denied Drogba a possible equaliser.
Napoli were not sitting back either and the latest Luiz howler saw them double their lead in the 65th minute, the defender kicking a long ball straight against Cavani, who squared past the stranded Cech for Lavezzi to steer into an unguarded net.
Villas-Boas responded by throwing on Lampard and Essien for Malouda and Meireles, with Lavezzi soon withdrawn for Blerim Dzemaili.
Branislav Ivanovic was unable to make the most of a goalline scramble and Napoli almost killed the match - and perhaps the tie - when Cole cleared Maggio's open-goal effort off the line.
Goran Pandev came on for Hamsik and he too might have made it 4-1 but Drogba also went close to giving Chelsea a tie-changing second away goal when he hooked wide.

Physics-based puzzler The Splatters was enjoyable on Xbox Live Arcade, and it sounds as if SpikySnail Games is going about making additional versions the right way. The game is headed to Windows and Mac (Steam), in addition to Linux. Better yet, those latter two versions will be offered free of DRM.
"After we've given this a lot of thought we decided against simply porting the game over to PC, even at the cost of delaying the PC launch," writes SpikySnail. "It wasn't an easy decision to take as it has financial implications. But knowing what we now know, the urge to change things around and try to improve the experience is stronger than anything."
It's not clear when this stuff will be released, but the team believes "it won't be that long and we're pretty confident the result will more than make up for the delay."
While there are notable XBLA games that haven't made it over to PC (yet), it feels like now more than ever console exclusivity is only a temporary setback for PC gamers. With the potential for success, it only makes sense that developers would support the platform when time and budgets allow.

How to Tell if a Layoff is Coming
Larry Buhl | for HotJobs
Almost all mature companies have shed employees at some point—and in most cases the pink slips don't come as a surprise. "Very often senior management will delay a decision to cut headcount, so unless there is a quick catastrophic event, layoffs have been a long time coming," explains Scott Steinberg, CEO of TechSavvy Global.
How can you know if your job might be on the line? Employment experts point to several signs.
Quiz: What's Your Money IQ?
Subtle signs
These are clues that it might not be "just your imagination."
1. Nonessential budgets are reduced or cut. Executives are flying in business class or coach. The gourmet coffee in the break room is now a lesser brand, and the Friday bagels are gone.
2. Products and projects are postponed or canceled. In prosperous times, businesses are awash in initiatives for growth. In leaner times, they hunker down and return to basics by focusing on what is guaranteed to bring in revenue now, rather than looking to the future.
3. Your sphere of influence shrinks. "This is something employees 'feel' but often can't quantify," says Jim Link, managing director of human resources for the staffing and recruiting firm Randstad. "It may be that certain people used to ask for your opinion but now bypass you," he says.
Serious signs
These are clues that you're probably not imagining things.
1. Budgets are cut way back. Travel is permitted only for people who are actively bringing in the bacon, and they fly coach. Office parties are eliminated. The coffee in the break room is generic. (Bring your own mug.)
2. Senior managers resign. One resignation might not mean a lot, but two or more resignations could mean that executives in the know are seeking lifeboats, according to Mike Manoske, a business development manager and recruiter for the staffing and consulting firm Yoh. "When key people leave abruptly at the same time, it's typically because they don't have a lot of confidence in the company."
3. The flow of communication changes. Things that used to come verbally now come in writing or vice versa. Or worse: you're excluded from meetings where you used to be a key player. These changes could be due to reorganization or a manager who wants to do things differently. "But when no rationale is given for the changes, it's a bad sign," Link says.

At least seven people were shot across the city Monday night, including six shot within an hour, officials said.
About 6:15 p.m., someone shot a 21-year-old man and a 53-year-old woman in the 1300 block of West Washburn Avenue in the city's University Village neighborhood, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Joshua Purkiss said.
The woman suffered a graze wound to the head and was taken in good condition to the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said. The 21-year-old man was taken in critical condition to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, Langford said.
In a separate shooting at 6:12 p.m. in the 1300 block of South Loomis Street, a 23-year-old man was shot and critically wounded, said Langford. The man was also taken in critical condition to Stroger. Police said the shots may have come from a passing vehicle.
About 6:20 p.m. in the West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side, a 17-year-old boy apparently accidentally shot himself in the groin and thigh in the 11600 block of South Wentworth Avenue, police said. The teenager was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition had stabilized, Langford said.
At 6:47 p.m., a 13-year-old boy was shot in the foot in the 7500 block of South Ingleside Avenue, Langford said. The child was taken to University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital in good condition, he said.
At 7:13 p.m., a person was shot in the arm in the 7200 block of South Wabash Avenue and was taken in good condition to Saint Bernard Hospital and Health Care Center, Langford said.
A 17-year-old boy walked into West Suburban Medical Center about 8:40 p.m. after being shot in the wrist, authorities said. Police believe the boy, who was listed in good condition, was shot in the 5500 block of West Potomac Avenue.

CATIA for Engineers enables Digital Prototyping including Analysis and Simulation for design and validation of function quality and performance at all stages ofthe design.
Mechanical engineering is complex as assemblies are designed to perform a specific task with a specific target performance. Digital prototyping, combined with digital analysis and simulation, allows product development teams to virtually create and analyze a mechanical product in its environment. Mechanical engineers must be equipped with these tools so that they can gain insight into key factors in quality and performance early in the product development phase.
CATIA 3D Design
Manage assemblies from mechanical part positioning to assembly constraints definition to drawings generation
Finding ways to reduce design-to-manufacturing cycles is a key priority for industrial companies. Collaborative and agile solutions for an accurate virtual definition and a flexible update of mechanical products are the answer.
CATIA 3D Design expands 3D design to user communities outside of the design office thanks to the V6 collaborative platform, addressing each profile with the right tools. This covers a wide range of operations such as part design, parts positioning, automated mechanisms design, assembly drawing generation, etc.
The V6 collaborative platform enables multiple users to work concurrently on the same assembly and to share and trade modifications at the object level, offering a truly concurrent design. Moreover, the effective management of inter-part relations yields unbreakable relational design and automates the design process.
From sketching an idea in 3D at a click of a mouse to process-oriented tasks, you can benefit from all the CATIA modeler capabilities such as direct 3D sketching, geometrical surfaces handling, feature-based design, and history-free functional modeling. CATIA 3D Design is considered to be the foundation for many other CATIA V6 products.
- Improve concurrent design with assembly integration in the PLM platform
- Benefit from effective design automation through relational design
- Automate product creation with know-how capture
- Capture design intents and improve productivity with functional modeling
- Manage skill techniques oriented by manufacturing process
- Produce drawings with consistency and flexibility
- Benefit from predictable design change propagation with automatic parts positioning
- Design naturally with direct an editing modeler that integrates constraints
- Collaborate instantly with an immersive environment that fosters daily interactions in 3D
- Strengthen reactivity with integrated 3D brainstorming
- Reduce design cycle time with automated design collaboration
- Validate compliancy with the weight criteria at the product level, from the preliminary design stage all the way to manufacturing
- Simplify exchanges across the supply chain
- Share material definition with all CATIA applications across the product lifecycle
- Generate sheetmetal parts and bends with ease and speed
Benefit from a complete range of integrated and collaborative PLM assembly toolsYou can establish mechanical assembly constraints with simple mouse movements or graphical commands to easily snap parts into position. You can also manage large, hierarchical assemblies of CATIA V4, V5, VRML or STEP parts using a top-down or bottom-up approach with greater productivity. In addition, parts and sub-assemblies are easily reused in the assembly without data duplication.
Exerience industry-proven relational design compliance and template instantiationBoost design productivity and increase quality of the final product thanks to design templates and rule-based corporate standards.
Capture design intent with functional modeling as well as improve productivity for cast, forged, machined or molded parts and assembliesDesign flexibility makes it easier to capture design intent. Behavior-driven design offers intelligent features that encapsulate industry-specific behaviors. Users get the flexibility to focus on their design intent and not on the order in which they create design elements. Moreover, Functional Modeling performance improved up to 60% versus V5R19, depending on the part complexity.
Manage skill techniques with generative design oriented by manufacturing processA design to manufacturing environment yields a process-centric solution based on powerful wireframes, surfaces & solid creation tools. With automated dress-up features, a part can be drafted in one single operation and its sharp edges can be filleted in one shot, making it ready to be then manufactured. Extensive catalogs and user-defined features enable the design to be suitable for any manufacturing intent.
Produce generative, productive and flexible drawings which can be visualized in ENOVIA 3D LiveGenerative Drafting offers a flexible and scalable solution to create associative drawings from 3D mechanical designs, surfaces, hybrid parts and assemblies. Navigate easily among sheets with thumbnails in ENOVIA 3D Live to review annotations effectively.
Position parts automatically with contextual constraintsMechanical System Design establishes mechanical assembly constraints using mouse movements or graphical commands to easily snap parts into position.
Manage weight and inertia declaration, computation, and analysis everywhere in CATIAWeight of standard parts can be declared by the user directly in the navigation window, while other weights can be computed according to material or applicative specifications, such as covering on wires or routing for electrical elements. A weight distribution tool displays the various parts from the lightest to the heaviest, providing an immediate analysis. The cumulative weight of the assembly can then efficiently be reduced.
Design naturally with a direct editing modelerCATIA Live Shape delivers an ultra fast modeling technology, enabling all users to sketch out any idea in 3D from scratch.
Collaborate instantly in an immersive environment that fosters daily interactions in 3DBecause designers have immersive access to their working group and part owners, they can communicate spontaneously at any time. Interactions include chat, video-conferencing, 3D snapshot exchange, and email or html format to keep track of exchanges. Efficient collaboration brings designers set in diversified geography together.
Strengthen reactivity with integrated 3D brainstorming3D video conferencing allows all project participants to physically view the project and better understand the case at hand. You can encourage convincing reviews with 2D snapshots, annotated in real-time, and 3D snapshot exhanges, with synchronized viewpoints.
Reduce design cycle time with automated design collaborationSeveral designers can design parts together while sharing and trading features in a controlled process. This increases productivity and reduces design cycle time.
Simplify exchanges across the supply chainIn addition to the V6 PLM platform which provides each company with a single database to store its Intellectual Property (IP), the industry standards adoption (STEP, IGES) make exchanges between the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers more efficient.
Share material definition with all CATIA applications across the product lifecycleMaterials are managed as consistent entities in the data base. They benefit from the client-host architecture so that only references on selected materials are loaded. This way, users can optimize memory usage by loading only the necessary material information. Furthermore, it is easier and faster to impact large models, thanks to its centralized management.
Intuitively create sheetmetal parts from scratch or from an imported solidBend Part Design is a direct modeler which allows user to quickly design or modify a sheetmetal part or any folded parts by pushing and pulling faces without storing history features. However, edition of contextual behaviors like bend, corner and chamfer keep their consistency in spite of any geometry change impacting them. User can also simplify his designs in order to run downstream applications.

Rep. Wittenberg Introduces Extreme Risk Protection Order to Reduce Gun Violence, Protect Michigan Families
Michigan House Democrats
Tuesday, June 6, 2017
LANSING State Rep. Robert Wittenberg (D-Oak Park) introduced new legislation to allow judges to issue protective orders for individuals that law enforcement or family members assert pose a threat. His proposal would target those individuals who pose a clear and present risk of harm to themselves or others, but who are not otherwise restricted from purchasing or possessing guns. Wittenberg was joined at a press conference today by representatives from Moms Demand Action, the Michigan Coalition Against Gun Violence and Kim Miles representing the Wayne County Prosecutors Office.
This legislation is about public safety. If someone has made threats of violence or suicide, it only makes sense to take those threats seriously, Wittenberg said. By following a court process to only temporarily limit access to guns for these individuals, we can better protect our families and communities. This legislation would give us another tool to try and prevent more senseless tragedies.
The Extreme Risk Protection Order would allow a family member, a federal law enforcement officer or a local law enforcement officer to ask the courts to issue a protection order against a person who poses a significant risk of personal injury to him or herself or others by possessing a firearm. The court would have to consider testimony, documents and other evidence in support of the request, including whether the person had previously inflicted or threatened to inflict personal injury or harm to others and any other facts the court deems relevant. Under the order, law enforcement could possess the individuals firearm, and the individual would be prohibited from purchasing new firearms while the order is in effect.
The order could be in effect for no longer than a year from the date it was issued.

The articulation "lawsuit credit" is commonly used inside reference to a sort of presettlement lawsuit funding which is not by any stretch of the imagination a development, however is fairly an improvement charge or appearance of venture. While veritable loans or lines of credit may be open to reserve lawsuits, those choices are typically spared to lawyers and law work places. The affronted gathering in a specific mischief case who looks to secure an advance against the verdict or settlement in a lawsuit won't typically be offered a credit, however will rather be offered "no arrangement of activity lawsuit funding".
Regardless of the way that you lose your case and the lawmaking figure or private moneylender gets a judgment, this does not translate that you may as well just repay the devotion. The judgment allows your leasers to use great assembling mechanical gatherings to attempt to accumulate.
