How much concrete does it take to pour the mat foundation for a 48-story office building?
180 concrete trucks full making nine or so trips each. That's 14,000 cubic yards, according to Hines, the Houston-based developer of the 1.05 million-square-foot building at 609 Main at Texas.
The trucks will line up in downtown Houston to start pouring the foundation at 7 p.m. Saturday, and the work will continue until the job is done. The pour is expected to take more than 17 hours.
Here's the "before" picture of 609 Main, which is scheduled for completion in 2017. The shiny glass building in the background is BG Group Place, a 46-story building also developed by Hines and designed by Pickard Chilton. It was completed in 2011.
Check back Monday for pictures of the pour.

Lipscomb kicks nation's top 3-point shooter out of school
Releford, Green, Steele suspended indefinitely from basketball team
Mid Major Blog
Player of the Week
Greg Mangano, Yale, C, Senior, 6-10 240 lbs.
The Ivy League standout has bullied several opponents this season with his size and physical presence in the paint. Penn (12-10) and Princeton (11-10) were Mangano's most recent victims as he posted double-doubles in each of those games this past week. Against Penn, he posted 23 points (8-14 shooting) and 10 rebounds, and against Princeton, he posted 20 points (6-17 shooting) and 12 rebounds. Mangano has led Yale to a 15-5 record this season and he's the premier low-post threat in the entire conference, followed by Keith Wright of Harvard who's at a distant second. Mangano has finished 11 games with 20 points or more, including a "beastly" outing against #7 Florida (19-5) on December 31 when he finished with 26 points and 15 rebounds. His ability to shoot with either hand in the paint helps him create definite challenges for opposing defenders, as well as his fundamental box-out techniques. For the season, Mangano is averaging 19.0 PPG, 10.0 RPG, and 2.5 BPG and NBA scouts are taking notice.
Who's Hot?
Ramone Moore, Temple, SG, Senior, 6-4 190 lbs.
Moore has been "lights out" over Temple's last five games, averaging 22.2 PPG on 50.0 3P%. Temple is now 18-5 and much of that record can be attributed to Moore's outside shooting ability that stretches defenses and creates difficulties in executing help-side defense. This week against George Washington (8-16), Moore finished with 25 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3P), 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. Temple won that game, 79-72. Earlier in the week at Rhode Island (5-20), Moore scored 22 points (9-20 FG, 2-7 3P) and collected 5 rebounds as the Owls downed Rhode Island, 73-56, and last week against Fordham (9-13), Moore finished with 25 points (9-16 FG, 6-8 3P) and 5 assists. Watch for Moore's sharpshooting ability to help put Temple in a favorable position to win the Atlantic 10 Conference.

Children's services at the council which was heavily criticised for failings over the death of four-year-old Daniel Pelka have been criticised for not improving quickly enough after being branded inadequate by Ofsted.
The Department for Education (DfE) said that while it recognised Coventry City Council's improvements since last year's publication of a damning serious case review criticising children's services's handling of the boy's case, the pace of change was too slow.
It said the measures already carried out at Coventry were "simply not good enough".
The DfE added it was now considering what "further actions" were needed to improve the situation, but did not specify what form those measures might take.
Daniel died of a head injury in March 2012 after a campaign of abuse by his mother, Magdelena Luczak, and his stepfather, former soldier Mariusz Krezolek, both of whom were jailed for a minimum of 30 years for his murder following a trial last year.
George Duggins, the council's cabinet member for children and young people, vowed there would be "rapid improvement" following publication of Ofsted's report into the service.
He added that the children's services department had seen an "unprecedented" volume of cases, which was still increasing.
Amy Weir, chair of the Coventry Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB), said she was "disappointed" with the inspection's conclusion but accepted that more still needed to be done, particularly in strengthening the way agencies such as councils, schools and police work together on keeping youngsters safe.
The report, which has found children's services to be "inadequate overall", comes after a three-week inspection earlier this year.
Coventry City Council said: "The report published today found that case loads for social workers are too high.
"Although social work teams have been increased, a dramatic increase in workloads - 46% over the last two years - mean that case loads remain too high."
By the end of last month, social workers in Coventry were working with 4,529 children in the city - up from 3,085 in March 2013, the council said.
An additional £5.6 million is being invested in the service, which will be mainly spent on creating more social work teams to deal with the huge increase of referrals, he said.
Mr Duggins said: "There is no hiding from the fact that the report's overall findings are disappointing, but many of the problems we face, particularly in the front line of children's social care, are down to the fact of the unprecedented volume of work, which continues to increase.
"As the Ofsted report reflects, the findings are not a verdict on the staff, who are working extremely hard in the face of ever-increasing workloads, and their passion, commitment and dedication cannot be questioned.
"We have already responded to this challenge by adding another team of social workers and we have funding to add more as part of the additional £5.6 million because, as a council, safeguarding is one our highest priorities."
He added that the council had also set up its own improvement board to implement Ofsted's recommendations in driving standards up, although its work is still in the very early stages.
Ms Weir added: "There is more to be done, and the partners accept this and that we must all exercise our single and joint responsibilities for safeguarding more effectively as members of the LSCB.
"Safeguarding board partners are absolutely committed to delivering and monitoring improvements and to hold each other to account over the next few months so we can deliver change for the better and demonstrate the impact on safeguarding in the city."
A DfE spokesman said: "We have been concerned about the arrangements for the protection of children in Coventry since the publication of the serious case review into the death of Daniel Pelka in September 2013.
"We were clear at the time that we expected children's services to dramatically improve without delay, which was why we required the LSCB to undertake a deeper analysis of the wider issues so that Coventry was able to learn lessons from Daniel's death.
"While we accept securing sustainable improvement takes time, today's report shows that the pace of change in Coventry has simply not been good enough.
"We will now consider what further actions are needed to ensure all vulnerable children in Coventry are sufficiently protected."
In their report, Ofsted inspectors concluded that the children's services department's management, leadership and governance were inadequate.
In a damning assessment of the work of the safeguarding board - also branded inadequate - it concluded that the LSCB was "not demonstrating it has effective arrangements in place to discharge its statutory duties".
The report highlighted that children were not being seen quickly enough and were "left at risk of harm".
On the issue of heavy workload, it found that the council had already had time to tackle the problem because a separate review by the Local Government Association identified the issue back in March last year.
The problem of too much case work also meant social workers "cannot do their jobs properly".
Inspectors added that more work was needed on timely information-sharing between the council and police, particularly on reports of domestic abuse - an issue which was one of the key criticisms in the serious case review into Daniel's death.
However, Ofsted did welcome the appointment of new children's services director Brian Walsh, concluding: "T here is clear evidence of decisive action now being taken to address areas of concern."
Daniel died after months of physical and emotional abuse at the family home in Coventry, amid an atmosphere of domestic violence between his mother and her various male partners.
The little boy was beaten, suffering a broken arm which needed hospital treatment, and arrived at school one day with two black eyes.
He was also kept locked in a boxroom at home, fed salt and starved to the point where he stole food from other pupils' lunchboxes and raided school bins for scraps at playtime.
Despite these signs, last year's serious case review report found that social workers had never spoken to Daniel independently about his home life or acted decisively to intervene in his care.
It also found that the child protection agencies were taken in by the "web of lies" spun by Daniel's mother and stepfather and should instead have been "thinking the unthinkable".

Jacob's life began with a struggle. As a twin in the womb with Esau, he jostled for position and was born grasping his brother's heel. Jacob's name is translated as "he deceives" (Genesis 25:26). When his mother, Rebekah, asked God during her pregnancy what was happening to her, God told her that there were two nations within her womb who would become divided. One would be stronger than the other, and the older would serve the younger (Genesis 25:23).
Jacob and Esau grew up together living a nomadic life. Esau became a fine hunter and loved to be out and about in the countryside while Jacob was a quiet, "stay-at–home" type (Genesis 25:27). Esau, being a hunter, was his father's favorite as Isaac loved the wild game Esau brought home, while Jacob was favored by his mother (Genesis 25:28). This destructive favoritism would follow the family into the next generation, most notably with Jacob's son Joseph. Such was Jacob's favoritism for Joseph that it caused great resentment among his brothers and nearly cost Joseph his life.
When Isaac was old and his eyesight faded, he realized he was near to his death and made arrangements with Esau to pass on to him the blessings due to the firstborn son (Genesis 27:1-4). On hearing this, Rebekah hatched a plan to deceive Isaac into blessing Jacob instead. Thus, Jacob received his father's blessing, and as Esau discovered, this was the second time he had been deceived by his brother (Genesis 27:36). Esau vowed he would kill Jacob for this as soon as the period of mourning was over for his father's death (vs. 41).
Once again, Rebekah steps in and warns Jacob of his brother's vow, and after influencing Isaac that Jacob should find himself a wife from among his own people, Jacob is sent off to his uncle Laban who lived in their ancestral home of Haran (vs. 43). During Jacob's journey, he has a dream of a ladder to heaven with God at the top and angels ascending and descending. This imagery is mirrored in Jesus' words to His disciple Nathanael (John 1:51). God gives Jacob His assurance of His presence and the fulfillment of His promise to Abraham (Genesis 28:13-15). As a result of this experience, Jacob renames the place "Bethel," meaning "house of God," and he makes a vow to serve God.
After Jacob settles in Haran, Laban offers him payment for the work he had been doing as a shepherd looking after his flocks. And Jacob agrees with Laban to work for seven years in return for Laban's daughter Rachel, whom he loved deeply. However, Jacob was to discover that his uncle Laban could be just as much a deceiver as he had been. On Jacob's wedding night, Laban substitutes his older daughter, Leah, for Rachel (Genesis 29:23-25). However, Jacob agrees to work a further seven years for Laban to marry Rachel, which he does a week after marrying Leah. And Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah (vs. 30).
While Rachel remained barren, Leah gave birth to Jacob's firstborn son, Reuben. Then followed the birth of 11 more sons from Rachel, Leah, and their two handmaidens. These sons would be the progenitors of the 12 tribes of Israel. Eventually, Jacob receives God's command to return to the land of his fathers accompanied by His promise "And I will be with you" (Genesis 31:3). So, Jacob leaves Haran, taking with him his wives and children and all the vast flocks he had accumulated. When Laban learns that Jacob has left, he sets off in hot pursuit as he discovers his idols have been stolen. Continuing the legacy of deception, Rachel had taken them, but she manages to conceal them from her father during his search. Laban and Jacob eventually part company after swearing an oath not to invade one another's lands or to harm any of its inhabitants.
Jacob's next highlight comes when he has to face his brother Esau. Though twenty years had passed since they had last seen each other, the memory of Esau's threat to kill Jacob had never left him (Genesis 32:11). Jacob sends messengers ahead of him with gifts, instructing them to tell Esau that he is following on. On this night, Jacob experiences the greatest highlight of his life when he wrestles with a man whom he later learns is God (vss. 22-31). During the wrestling he is blessed by God and given the promised new name of "Israel," the name that would remain with his descendants and the land they were promised by God until the present day.
To Jacob's relief, the reunion with Esau is a warm one. Nevertheless, Jacob isn't fully trusting of his brother Esau and so, instead of meeting up with him as agreed, Jacob takes his family another route where they finally purchase a plot of land and settle in El Elohe Israel or "Mighty is the God of Israel." Jacob the deceiver is always wary of others who might be trying to deceive him. Here we see that the mind of those who plot to deceive is always suspicious of the motives of others and can never fully be at rest.
The following chapter (Genesis 34) records the rape of Jacob's only daughter, Dinah, and the revenge her brothers Simeon and Levi carry out on the rapist's entire community. Once again, we see how the deviousness of the parents is passed on to the children in the way they overcome their enemy. Jacob is livid with his sons, and, in obedience to God's guidance, he moves his family back to Bethel (Genesis 35:1), where God reappears to Jacob and confirms His blessing (Genesis 35:9-10). In Jacob's meeting with God, he receives the promise that kings and many nations will come from him and that the land God had promised his forefathers would be his inheritance (vss. 11-12).
We may be inclined to consider Jacob's name "deceiver" as fitting; however, we mustn't overlook the fact that it was his mother, Rebekah, who conceived the plan to deceive Jacob's father on the basis of God's promise that the older would serve the younger (Genesis 25:23). However, as Jacob went along with the plan, he reaped the consequences. "Like father, like son" is a phrase that would be appropriate for Jacob's family as we read of his sons deceiving Hamor and his people in order to avenge the rape of their sister, Dinah. Nevertheless, God remained faithful to Jacob and, despite Jacob's faults, God chose him to be the leader of a great nation that still bears his name today. But for this, it is unlikely that we would know much about Jacob, who appears to be in the middle of events while the key players are those around him. There is no great wisdom or bravery in Jacob to speak of, and we are tempted to see him as little more than God's passive instrument. If we are tempted to think that, because we aren't in the spotlight performing great acts for God, we are unimportant to Him, then we should consider the life of Jacob and know that, in spite of our failings, God can and will still use us in His plan.
When Jacob is fearful for his life and his family, he prays a humble prayer to God, reminding Him of the promise He had made to him for his safety (Genesis 32:9-12). The Bible is full of promises that God has made to those He has called. So, when we are in times of trouble and fearful of the outcome, like Jacob we should humbly call on God and remind Him of His promises to us, and as with Jacob, God will fulfill them.

Albert Breer went 9-5 with his predictions in Week 9 and is now 83-48 for the season. How will he fare in Week 10? His picks are below, with home teams listed second:
Red-zone woes bite the Saints' defense, which has struggled with injuries and a lack of play-making ability all year long.
Carolina has quietly improved over the course of the year, while the Titans have regressed. Expect calls to see Jake Locker get louder (and not because Matt Hasselbeck's lacking).
Love how Andy Dalton and A.J. Green have become a presence. Don't love them against Pittsburgh's defense, smarting after the Baltimore game, even without LaMarr Woodley.
Cleveland has scored a grand total of 28 points the past three weeks. Too bad for Pat Shurmur that Sam Bradford's not still on his team.
Looking at the remainder of Indianapolis' schedule, this looks like the Colts' best shot to crack that goose egg. The Jags' defense won't let it happen.
The roller-coaster that is Tebow Perception takes another downward turn this week, with K.C. needing to keep pace with Oakland. Not much to like about Tim vs. Romeo Crennel.
Everything about the Dolphins is dysfunctional. Except this: The players haven't stopped fighting for Tony Sparano. Against the reeling 'Skins, that will be enough.
Losing Gerald McCoy will hurt the Bucs against the vaunted Houston running game. And counting on Albert Haynesworth in that area is a bad bet to make.
The kind of "Taking Care of Business" game that Baltimore struggled with in Jacksonville and Tennessee earlier in the year. The Ravens show their growth on the opposite coast.
I don't like the Bears' offensive line against the Lions' defensive front any more this month than I did last month. So if Chicago's gonna pull it off, it'll have to be behind Matt Forte.
One of those crossroads games, where streaking teams get to test their legitimacy. I think both clubs will be plenty tough on Sunday. And Eli Manning will come through at the end. Again.
Death by papercut! The Jets consistently move the ball on New England, but stall in the red zone. The field goals will be enough to force a third straight season split between these two.
There's reason to worry about the Packers' defense, and it might be more than just a nicked up Tramon Williams. Still, on Monday night at Lambeau, it's Aaron Rodgers' show.

Dee Milliner leads NFL Combine winners and losers
Here are the biggest winners and losers coming out of the 2013 NFL Combine, which ended Tuesday:
1. Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama. Show him the money. He is a lock to be the first cornerback off the board, after his official 4.37 in the 40-yard dash. He dropped a lot of balls in Tuesday's workouts, but corners are paid to cover, not catch. Milliner could go No. 4 to the Eagles, who might be about to dump Nnamdi Asomugha. Milliner could go No. 5 to the Lions, but he won't be on the board past No. 10. Not only does Milliner have great ball skills, teams know he was coached well by Nick Saban. Milliner is having surgery to repair a torn labrum, but he will be ready by training camp. He will also be richer.
2. Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma. He's now in the conversation as a top-10 pick after running a 4.72 in the 40 and doing 28 bench-press reps—one more than both Central Michigan's Eric Fisher and Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel recorded. A former tight end, Johnson moves remarkably well for someone who weighs 303 pounds. "His 40-yard dash time was better than Anquan Boldin,†NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said. "His vertical at 34 inches was the same as A.J. Green. Think about this." Many teams will.
3. Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan. He could be the first overall pick in the draft, especially if the Chiefs trade for Alex Smith. In that scenario, the No. 1 pick could be determined by which left tackle the Chiefs like better—Fisher or Joeckel. "I don't see a whole lot of difference between Joeckel and Fisher,†Mayock said.
4. Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU. Mathieu is back in the news, but this time in a positive way after a strong Combine performance. NFL teams still have to question whether they can trust someone who was expelled from LSU with drug problems and who has not played football in over a year. However, even with an unimpressive bench press session, Mathieu's skills do not appear to have eroded. His solid workout included a better-than-expected 4.50 40-yard dash. He could go in the third round, but more important, he clearly will get a legitimate NFL opportunity if he stays out of trouble between now and the draft.
5. Ezekiel "Ziggy†Ansah, DE, BYU. A freakish athlete, Ansah could be a top-15 pick. That's lofty status for a native of Ghana who did not play football until arriving at BYU. Ansah is raw, and some scouts fear he may struggle early in his NFL career. But he was excellent during his workout and showed the versatility to play both defensive end and outside linebacker. Some scouts are comparing him to Jason Pierre-Paul, another latecomer to football who has excelled with the Giants. That is good company.
6. Dion Jordan, OLB, Oregon. He could easily be a top-five pick, even though he faces shoulder surgery in March that could sideline him until training camp. New Eagles coach Chip Kelly coached Jordan in college and the Eagles have the fourth overall pick. The Lions pick No. 5 and need to address their porous defense. Jordan had an impressive 40-yard dash time (4.60) and workout, and some teams believe he can also play defensive end. Elite pass rushers always have high value, and Jordan might be the best pass rusher in this draft.
MORE: Jordan, Ansah turn heads at Combine
7. Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame. Eifert is the Notre Dame athlete who had the best Combine performance. He came into the weekend running neck and neck with Gavin Escobar of San Diego State and Zach Ertz of Stanford to be the first tight end taken. Now Eifert is the favorite to be the No. 1 tight end after posting a 4.68 in the 40, a 35-inch vertical leap and 22 bench-press reps. Ertz ran a 4.76 while Escobar posted a 4.84. Teams that could target Eifert include the Falcons (30th overall pick) and the 49ers (31st pick).
8. Matt Barkley, QB, USC. He actually benefited by interviewing and not throwing, because none of the other quarterbacks was lights-out. There will be plenty of rumors about Barkley being a top-10 pick, possibly to the Cardinals at No. 7. But it will be important for Barkley to throw well at his pro day, prove that his injured shoulder is sound and convince quarterback-needy teams that he'll never last until the second round. If that happens, either Barkley will go in the top 10 or somebody will trade up later in the first round to get him.

1. Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah. Lotulelei is hoping for the best after doctors at the Combine detected a heart issue and refused to let him work out. He is scheduled to undergo more tests in Utah, and hopefully he will receive positive news. But his status as a potential top-five pick is now cloudy.
2. Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame. The Combine is over. The scrutiny is not. Consider that Johnson, at 303 pounds, ran the 40 faster than Te'o (4.82) did. Speed is not everything, but Te'o struggled against Alabama in the national championship game and now he's stepping up to a higher level of competition. Overcoming the Internet fake girlfriend fiasco is just part of Te'o's challenge. Teams left Indianapolis uncertain whether he can be an every-down linebacker in the NFL, which means there is no certainty he will be a first-round pick.
MORE: Te'o's uninspiring workout raises more questions
3. Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M. He recorded only 12 bench-press reps and ran only one 40-yard dash because his hamstring tightened up. He can spend the next few days reading about how much his draft stock has fallen. Considering the stiff defensive-line competition in this draft, he may no longer be a top-20 pick.
4. Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia. He didn't work out, and teams are still worried that medical issues (spinal stenosis) could make him a high-risk pick. A lot of scouts think he's one of the top five prospects, but there are less risky options for teams looking for a pass rusher. Jones could slip out of the top 20, depending upon his medical reports
5. Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State. After a rough Tuesday, Banks no longer looks like a first-round pick. He posted one of the slower 40 times (4.59) among corners. Banks looks good on film, but he needed to show more speed and other corners like Xavier Rhodes of Florida State may have jumped him.

Washington DC Nano News - Targeting Cancer
authored by Margaret Glass, ASTC
The June briefing hosted by the Congressional Nanotech Caucus was on nanomedicine - specifically, the use of nanoparticles in cancer treatment. The guest list comprised mostly representatives of the Alliance for Nanohealth, a Houston-based collaboration of researchers that aims to find nanotechnology solutions to unresolved medical problems. If any group of researchers can find a way to beat cancer, it's this one. The intros started and my attention began to wander. Three pm is a tough time for a briefing – especially on one of the hottest days in DC. I was fighting sleep until Mauro Ferrari, president of the Alliance, took the podium. After brief opening remarks, he showed an image on the screen of a young woman with three children: a boy and twin infant girls. He told the story of his wife, who was diagnosed with cancer at about the time of the photo and died two years later, before the field of nanomedicine had emerged. She underwent the standard cancer treatment of the time: untargeted and highly toxic to the entire body, not just the affected organs. Ferrari, with a PhD in mechanical engineering, began working on microdevices for medicine, and was directed on a path toward nanomedicine that has not ended. I was struck by the personal tragedy he had presented, even after he ended his talk with a new family photo of a second wife and five children - three older siblings and a younger pair of twins. It was clear that his story had captured others' attention as well, and it stirred an interest that carried through the talks of his colleagues. His co-presenters elaborated on different methods of cancer treatment, providing examples of how nanoparticles target cancer in a variety of ways, such as seeking proteins or being directed by increased blood flow associated with tumors. My take-home messages from these briefings are usually bits of information that I can relay to one of more of my colleagues and often have to do with technical details for exhibits or activities. Science educators are always walking a fine line - trying to deliver complex and cutting-edge content to different segments of the public in engaging and compelling ways. But this talk had demonstrated one of the most effective ways to grab an audience and inspire in them the urge to know more – the power of the personal narrative. By allowing an entree into his personal motivations, Ferrari awakens in a listener the same questions that drive the researcher. Why can't minute doses of specific drugs be targeted to only tumors and not healthy tissue? How can nanoparticles find cancerous tissue in organs deep in the body? Can materials with different cancer-fighting properties be engineered to work without toxic drugs? These observations about a personal presentation are not new, of course. The need for dynamic presentations about complex content has long been recognized. And surveys of museum visitors have identified nanomedicine as a topic that particularly resonates with the pubic. But something about the immediate involvement of the person who tells a story makes the delivery especially effective. Later that day, I found myself Googling the speaker, just to fill in some of the details of the life and work history he had outlined. That kind of post-encounter curiosity and investigation is just what we should hope to stimulate in museum visitors for every topic – including nanotechnology.

Sunday Sweets: Fifty Cakes of Gray
And now, Sunday Sweets presents: Fifty Cakes of Gray.
Just kidding! There are only twelve. But they are gray and sure to spank delight the senses.
Unless you've been living under a totally unfashionable rock, you are well aware that gray is one of the hottest trends in Trendville right now. Less harsh than black, more ketchup-friendly than white, it's everywhere in the worlds of fashion, saucy literature, and decor. And of course...
...Cake! This one combines two hot and happening trends: gray and ombre. Plus polka-dots, which will never go out of style.
Let's hope gray doesn't, either, because pretty much my entire house is painted gray. Some people might think that sounds depressing, but just look at this cake:
By Charm City Cakes West Inspired by Nevie-Pie Cakes
Depressing? I think not! Gray is the perfect backdrop for a pop of color, which I love, unlike the phrase "pop of color" which, ugh.
But don't worry, colorphobes, gray and white make a fine duo, too.
Sophisticated, simple and sublime.
And just think how much detail would have been lost on this cake if it had been white instead of gray.
Would we have even noticed the lacy border? The delicate butterflies? Gray deserves an award for best supporting hue.
BUT! Gray ain't afraid to steal the spotlight.
"This girl belongs on a runway," was my first thought when I saw this cake.
By Karla
Then I learned that it was modeled after a Vera Wang gown, and I felt totally smart and stylish for a second. Then I looked down at my ensemble of mismatched sweats and slowly lowered my hands from their 'raise the roof' position.
But can I get a "holla" for these cakes?
By Erica OBrien
So sweet and modern at the same time. I just love gray and pink together, and that little cluster of roses in the center, too.
I'm also loving the color scheme on this cake. Freaking adorable. Seriously considering turning it into an accessory somehow.
Cake hat? Cake purse? Cake belt buckle? I'll keep thinking.
And here's another one I just want to tear apart and wear!
By Three Little Blackbirds Cakes
Once again, gray adds texture and interest while letting the color shine. Gray: the nicest of neutrals.
That should be its official motto.
But why am I trying to convert you to the Church of Gray? You're probably already a card carrying member.
And if you weren't before, you are now, because WOWZERS. And the little touches of metallics? Swoonballoons.
There is so much awesome happening on this cake, but I think the gray tier is still my favorite.
By Gateaux Inc.

While working for a contractor overseas about 25 years ago, I often was required to manage construction projects at remote locations. Considering the time it generally took prefabricated and preassembled systems to arrive on-site, this often necessitated on-site fabrication of tees for piping systems with welded joints.
Straight lengths of pipes of different diameters usually were never in short supply at a project site. However, fittings with specific-size tees for different combinations of pipe diameters usually were. In those instances, engineering basics came to the rescue.
The only information needed to field-fabricate a tee connection was the outer diameter of the pipes to be connected — for example, 6 in. by 3 in. I then used a drafting technique called "development of surfaces," which involved developing a near-exact curve/profile, such as what one would expect to see on the surface of a 6-in. pipe connected to a 3-in. pipe. I also developed another curve/profile that represented the curvature on the end of the 3-in. pipe when connected to the surface of the 6-in. pipe. These two developed surfaces then constituted the "set" for preparation of a 6-in.-by-3-in. tee (figures 1, 2, and 3).
Once the profiles were developed, I wrapped the 6-in.-diameter developed surface on the 6-in. pipe and marked the profile on the pipe (Figure 2). I did the same with the 3-in.-diameter developed surface (Figure 3). The pipes then were cut as per the marked contour. The cut edges were ground for a proper finish/fit, which is similar to how surfaces are prepared for welding.
Once I prepared the contour sheet sets for the various pipe combinations, field-fabricating the tees was effective and no different than putting together a routine welded pipe joint. This technique proved to be particularly cost-effective for large-diameter (greater than 2 in.) pipes.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Endicott College scored a pair of runs in the first inning and went on to unleash an 18-run, 17-hit attack as it outslugged MIT, 18-7, in non-conference baseball action this afternoon. Sophomore Tad Gold (Martha's Vineyard, Mass.) went 4-for-4 and drove in five runs to lead the Gulls. Sophomore Sean Karson (Winter Park, Fla.) was 2-for-2 with a pair of RBIs for the Engineers.
A pair of first inning singles put runners on the corners with one away for Endicott (12-13) to start the game. Gold brought home the first run with a sac fly to right before senior Colin Sitarz (West Hartford, Conn.) followed with an RBI single. After scoring an unearned run in the third, Endicott scored three more times in the fourth, with the big blow a two-out, two-run home run by senior Danny Mello (Peabody, Mass.).
MIT (11-13) got on the board on an RBI single from senior Bryan Macomber (Los Altos, Calif.) in the bottom half of the fourth. Endicott added another run in the fifth to make it 7-1 before the Engineers fought their way back into the game with a three-run sixth. Junior James McKinney (Wakefield, R.I.) and sophomore Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah) led off the inning with base hits that started the rally. Junior Ricardo Perez (Vienna, Va.) brought both runners home with a double to center and eventually came around to score on a wild pitch to pull the Engineers to within three at 7-4.
Endicott answered with four in the top of the seventh, highlighted by a bases loaded single to right off the bat of freshman Harry Oringer (Dartmouth, Mass.) that scored a pair. MIT came back with three more in the bottom half of the inning, getting its own bases loaded single as Karson delivered a pair of runs. Freshman Phil Reiser (Alpharetta, Ga.) later drew a bases loaded walk that made it 11-7.
Endicott was not done scoring runs, however, as the Gulls plated two more in the eighth and then five in the ninth, three on a Gold home run, that put the game away. Sophomore Connor McLaughlin (Clinton, Mass.) held the Engineers in check over the final 2.1 innings, allowing three hits. Senior Mike Nich (Orange, Conn.) started for the Gulls and went 5.1 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits to pick up the win. Freshman K.J. Parent (Knoxville, Tenn.) was the starter and loser for MIT, allowing seven runs, six earned, on eight hits in five innings of work.
MIT will return to NEWMAC conference play in its next game as it travels to Clark University for a 3:30 p.m. game on Friday, April 13. Endicott will play next on Saturday, April 14 when it hosts Gordon College for a doubleheader starting at Noon.

Tea Leaf Green
It ain't easy being a gypsy, especially if one sings for their supper. San Francisco's Tea Leaf Green are newfangled Lost Boys, a traveling gang dedicated to seeking wisdom and experience in places both glorious and seedy. In many ways, this quintet is the essence of rock's adventurous, playfully outlaw spirit, all of which ultimately fuels songs that resonate with classic vibrations, open-ended possibilities and radio-ready charm. TLG are bruised romantics with heavy minds and a lighthearted way with experimentation, as likely to jam out a number as they are to nail a primo verse-verse-chorus pop gem.
All the steadily growing promise, evident since they began in the late 1990s, comes to fruition on their seventh studio album, Radio Tragedy. With the aid of producer Jeremy Black (Apollo Sunshine), the band has crafted a powerhouse work with the oomph of their stellar live performances melded to a truly impressive array of vocal nuance, rib-sticking song craft and smart studio flourishes. From the Bee Gees-esque bite of "Easy To Be Your Lover" to the bouncing modern rock of "You're My Star," Radio Tragedy showcases a contemporary American rock monster fully emerging from the shadows, ready to take on any comers with a sound that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with skilled contemporaries like My Morning Jacket and The Strokes. Together, Trevor Garrod (keys, vocals), Josh Clark (guitar, vocals), Scott Rager (drums), Reed Mathis (bass, vocals) and newest member Cochrane McMillan (drums) have made a record that's both timely and timeless – a strange, beautiful space that Tea Leaf Green inhabits naturally and gracefully.
"Much of this record is a reflection on the ups and downs on the road to radio gold, chasing dreams and ghosts on America's highways and finding triumph, sorrow and sacrifice in the pursuit," says Josh Clark. "Tea Leaf Green has been a band for over a decade. We've tried to simply focus on music, just music, honest music, operating in the shadow of braggart auto-tuned rappers and inane teeny bop prop puppets that has come to rule and choke the life out of what was once America's greatest export – rock and roll."
"I don't think any of us have ever felt completely satisfied with our past studio experiences, so we went into this one with the deliberate intent of making a complete album. Each of us brought our own vision and we did our best to fuse those ideas in the studio, all of us committed to seeing each member's vision take shape," says Scott Rager. "TLG has been a band for 13 years and I think we've made the record we always thought we were capable of making."
"I wanted a story – something loud, something bright, something to scare your kids goodnight. There is adventure to be had. There is an undiscovered country," says Trevor Garrod. "We have been there for each other through thick (rarely) and thin (mostly). There are five of us now and like a pack of pickpockets, we will steal your heart."
"At the center, our commitment to this music and our passion for making it and performing it has remained rock steady," continues Josh Clark. "Like countless bands creating phenomenal music today, we work on the edges of the mainstream where we can be heard, looking in on the tragedy that radio seems to have forgotten where to find the gold. This album is a true story of our lives in pursuit of a dream from another time and how we survive despite it all."
Tula is a five piece progressive funk-rock band, first formed in Chicago by frontman Brian Duggan. After touring and performing in the Midwest for a few years, Duggan re-rooted the band to Denver and formed a permanent cast of musicians that makes up present day Tula. The group's organic and unique style brings a refreshing diverse sound to the traditional jam band setup, and their live shows bring even the most reserved attendees to the dance floor as they infuse a variety of genres together from funky dance music to blues, reggae and of course, at the bands core, rock n' roll.
The Denver band's most recent album, "Follow the Beast Inside", was recorded at Scanhope Sound in Colorado with mastermind producer Joshua Fairman.

Raptors general manager uses profanity about Nets
TORONTO (AP) -- Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri let loose a profanity about the Brooklyn Nets during a pregame address meant to pump up a group of fans outside Air Canada Centre before Saturday's opening game of the NBA playoffs.
Several hundred fans gathered outside the downtown arena for a party and to watch the game on a huge screen above the west entrance.
Ujiri, the NBA's reigning executive of the year, apologized in a brief news conference at halftime, saying he'd made the "wrong choice of words" and was "just trying to get our fans going."
Asked if the profanity represented his feelings about the Nets, who have been accused of tanking in order to face Toronto in the first round, Ujiri said: "You know how I feel. I don't like them, but I apologize."
Raptors coach Dwane Casey said he had no problem with Ujiri's colorful language.
"It doesn't offend me whatsoever," Casey said after the Nets won 94-87 in Game 1. "That's Masai. That's why our team plays like that. He's a fiery guy. That should represent how we feel."
Toronto guard Kyle Lowry echoed his coach's sentiments.
"(Ujiri) is a very passionate guy," Lowry said. "He believes in what we have and what we're doing."
Nets coach Jason Kidd, meanwhile, claimed not to have heard about either the controversial comments or Ujiri.
"I don't even know who the GM is," Kidd said.
Ujiri's remarks weren't the only dig aimed Brooklyn's way. The front page of Saturday's Toronto Sun billed the first-round series as "Raptors vs. Dinosaurs," in reference to the ages of Brooklyn stars Paul Pierce, 36, and Kevin Garnett, 37.
"It's all good," Garnett said. "It's motivation."

The "internet of things" is a concept that describes a wireless network between objects. In a way, it parallels the current network of addressable web pages (aka the "world wide web"), except "the internet of things" would include addressable inanimate objects that could be anything from your home's refrigerator to the shoes on your feet. Although this world of web-connected things has been much discussed for years, we've seen little movement pushing the concept forward. At least, until now.

Posts tagged Reiki and financial success
Reiki, Abundance and Financial Successio
A number of individuals have written in my experience asking using Reiki to create abundance, success and/or
financial success to their lives. This information is a rather shortened form of my blog entry about this
matter. Please click the link below to see the more version.
I am likely to present a couple of suggestions for using Reiki to attain abundance, success and/or financial success.
Before I actually do that, I wish to point out that this is something where Reiki and Feng Shui match very
nicely. Many books on Feng Shui particularly let you know how to setup your atmosphere to inspire abundance and success.
I actually do wish to acknowledge something before I continue my discussion. With a people, talking about Reiki and cash or Reiki and financial success within the same breath means they are cringe. They view Reiki as pure Love, a spiritual calling, and also to introduce the thought of money in to the sacred arena of Reiki is abhorrent for them. If that's your point of view, I understand fully and respect your situation. I've known healers in lots of fields who've felt exactly the same way.
But I'm a little more of the pragmatist along with a realist. I am aware that we have to earn a living and we have to support our families. Much more importantly, I recognize the side effects poverty and financial insecurity might have upon us.
Whenever a person feels financially uncertain, even endangered, that individual might find it very difficult to concentrate on the spiritual facets of his/her existence. If a person has a lot financial worry, ideas of "How can I settle the bills?Inch and "Can we lose the home?Inch may occupy a lot of that person's time and energy that they'll scarcely consider such things as helping others heal.
Performs this imply that the indegent and individuals with financial hardships can not be spiritual and should not help others heal? Obviously it does not imply that. However, survival issues may become vital, as well as for many, lots of people, these problems hinder remarkable ability to provide any one of their energy to spiritual and healing issues. Many of us are human, having a limited quantity of energy and sources open to us at any time.
But beyond this, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong within the desire to have abundance, success
and financial security. We reside in a world that's operated by money that's the reality we accept, regardless of
just how much we may wish it were otherwise. Without sufficient money, we're in deep trouble! Whenever we have adequate money, we are able to turn our attention easier to helping others.
Everybody needs to define exactly what the term "sufficient money" way to them. For instance, I'm not keen on the thought of using Reiki to get a windfall, in order to win at gambling. Frankly, I do not such as the energy of gambling, since several people's life is destroyed by gambling.
Getting stated that, however, I let it rest your decision to determine how much cash is "sufficient". Those who
get in touch about using Reiki for success usually wish to have enough money to pay for their bills promptly and supply a great home for his or her families. A number of them have began Reiki along with other healing practices, and wish individuals practices to become financially effective to enable them to both help others and support their
The word "abundance" can also be available to interpretation. Abundance isn't always exactly the same factor as getting lots of money, or just being very prosperous. Each individual needs to determine what "abundance" way to them. Somebody that doesn't have lots of money but who provides extensive friendship and love might believe that their existence is stuffed with abundance. Getting a feeling of abundance enables us to feel quite happy with what we should have. That assumes, obviously, that people don't struggle to obtain the money to consume every single day, or we do not reside in a hazardous place.
You should use Reiki to draw in abundance and success in your direction in lots of ways. Listed here are a couple of suggestions:
1. Draw the Reiki Power Symbol and also the Lengthy Distance symbol on certificates, and put them in the bank or purse. Any time you discover their whereabouts there, consider abundance/success being attracted for you across some time and distance. You may also place these symbols inside a jar of coins and tuck one at the back of your checkbook.
2. Draw the ability Symbol in your Palm Chakras every morning. This can function as a symbolic indication of methods money changes hands, and it'll help draw that cash toward both hands.
3. Use Aventurine gemstones or Malachite gemstones, each of which are frequently accustomed to represent money. Put the
stone in a single hands when you draw the ability and/or Lengthy Distance Symbol over that hands together with your other hands. Focus on the concept of wealth flowing toward you. Leave the gemstones near your checkbook, purse, wallet, etc.
4. While using Lengthy-Distance Symbol, you are able to send Reiki to return for the finances. Quite simply, you are able to send positive energy to return. You may also make use of the Lengthy-Distance Symbol to visit backwards over time aid healing a few of the emotional toll that financial hardships took for you.
5. For those who have a company, you are able to draw the ability Symbol and/or Lengthy-Distance Symbol in mid-air within the
corners of the office, within the check out or charge card machine, etc. Leave small
Aventurine or Malachite gemstones you have billed with Reiki close to the register or charge card terminal.
There are many Chakras which are important to concentrate on in money matters:
1. The Palm Chakras – since money literally "changes hands".
2. The 3rd Eye Chakra – since it is the seat of the intuition, also it can help you produce good decisions
regarding your future.
3. The Solar Plexus Chakra – since it is the area of the inner knowledge, your "gut feelings", also it can
assist you to see whether something is a great or bad financial decision for you personally.
4. Make sure to concentrate on your Root Chakra, too, if self-confidence (or insufficient it) is a problem. Your Root
Chakra can also be important if past financial problems have disturbed your feeling of stability and security (and
made you less confident consequently).
The topic of Reiki for abundance, success and financial success is complex and multi-faceted. I've
just scratched the top with this particular discussion. Don't hesitate to join my e-newsletter to find out more
ways in which Reiki will help you inside your everyday existence.
