President Obama said again Tuesday that it has been a long time since the Supreme Court struck down an economic law passed by Congress, but he mixed up the decisions and their timing.
We have not seen a court overturn a law that was passed by Congress on an economic issue, like healthcare, that I think most people would clearly consider commerce, the president said. A law like this has not been overturned at least since Lochner. Right? So were going back to the 30s, pre-New Deal.
Actually, thats wrong. The case of Lochner vs. New York was decided in 1905, and the Supreme Court continued to strike down laws that sought to regulate economic conditions until the mid-1930s. Law professors -- Obama used to be one -- often use the name of the case as the label for the era of Supreme Court activism that ended after the high court invalidated several New Deal laws from 1934 to 1936.

No Joke: Newsweek calls for impeaching Supreme Court Justtices if they overturn Obamacare
Snip: The Roberts Courts rulings appear to be a concerted effort to send us back to the Gilded Age. If they dump the Affordable Care Act, writes David Dow, we should dump them.
Obama knows absolutely nothing about American history, American government, Americans and freedom. He's nothing but a two-bit Chicago thug.
And that Marxist moron was a con-law assoc. prof.
God help us.
Lochner struck down a NY law relating to limiting the number of hours a baker could work. It has nothing to do with the extent of federal powers to regulate.
And this poser supposedly "taught Constitutional law." Yeah right. My Yorkie has a better grasp of it than he does.
you do know that you will never get Obama out of The White House, he was voted in once and that's all he needs
Oh, please, please try to impeach a member of the SCOTUS over Obamacare!
Talk about a winning issue for Republicans. This issue cost Democrats 63 seats in the House in 2010. Keeping Obamacare front and center would be a big help for a Republican trifecta.
He surrendered his law license.
He was never an associate professor. That rank means tenured. He was an adjunct. Not, however, a mere cheap wages adjunct as are employed everywhere to teach intro courses. Law schools and business schools bring adjuncts in at a higher level of prestige (after, these are graduate-level professional schools), people who arn't interested in tenure-track because they have a day job they don't want to give up but who bring some enhancement to the school. In Obama's case it was his skin color not his professional accomplishments that was the "enhancement." Can you say "racism?"
He surrendered his law license.
At a formal request that is.
This comes from the LA Slimes?!
And wait, and wait..
"Talk about a winning issue for Republicans."
Note to Mitch McConnell and John Boehner:
Please, JUST STFU!!
Is it true that he his bisexual and the White House Press corps (not
corpse) , the adulterers, homosexual, bisexual, Communist sympathizers, they are are covering for him the way they covered for Kennedy and Clinton the Rapist?
Obama botches! Ha, who really believes that?
The care of my health is not a matter of commerce for the Government to tax or regulate. My Witch Doctor accepts live chickens as payment, and I raised them from eggs, fed them off the sweat of my brow, and watered them with eco-friendly 1930's windmill.
My health care is my decision, is personal and private and the Government can stay the hell out of my business.
He's worse then Biden.
Obama a constitutional law scholar is equal to Dr. Tiller 'the baby killer' following and respecting the Hippocratic Oath!!!
Why did he surrender his law license?
For historical reference, consider Erich Segal, author of that maudlin little tale "Love Story" in the early 1970s, who was an associate prof in Latin -- not English -- at BoolaBoola U. and was denied tenure (and basically booted) from Yale. At least he wasn't an "adjunct" prof; he'd have been booted long before. Honest scholarship was NOT his particular academic interest.
Of course, these days, Yale is worthless academically. There are no longer ANY grounds for a professor to disagree with the prevailing orthodoxy, and -- perhaps interestingly -- despite Yale's unfortunately huge endowment, that university has decayed physically right along with its intellectual decay, from at minimum 1989, and more likely 1975, through today.
If I could find a way to wager that this situation in New Haven WILL worsen, and some metric by which to demonstrate it, I'd cheerfully put up 5 figures on the wager, on a 5-year payoff, with some objective source being the judge of the outcome.
Careful, m'FRiend...this is NOT the time to bet on busted flushes...as the "Ivies" are, without exception, doing.
Best to you, mate, and FReegards!
Culturally, Obama is NOT an American. He's a man of the world, especially the African/Southeast Asian parts of the world.
And for all the talk about how smart he is because of Harvard and the Harvard Law Review, that was nothing but AA in action; we have yet to see grades/writings/SAT's. Nothing to document this purported intelligence.
These kinds of things are common when you were promoted through school as a foreign student and with affirmative action.
Obama caught re-speaking history.
Debarring next Friday.
Biden buys a new suit.
There is no public answer to that question.
Some suspicion that when he swore he had no other alias, he lied.
When the right people want Obozo's past revealed, it will be so.
>> Note to Mitch McConnell and John Boehner:
>> Please, JUST STFU!!
Remember when Sarah Palin was asked the Supreme Court question and the libs went ballistic over her answer?

February 3rd Declared Mötley Crüe Day
Mötley Crüe has announced plans to invade Las Vegas with the city's first-ever hard rock residency: "Mötley Crüe In Sin City".
The world's most notorious band will be heading to the world's most notorious city where they will perform an extended run – starting February 3 through 19 – at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The shows will allow fans many ways to interact with the band such as partnering with Crowdsream to offer fans to use their app to post photos and video direct to Motley facebook page
In honor of Las Vegas' first hard rock residency, Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman has proclaimed Friday, February 3, 2012 as "Mötley Crüe Day". Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil said of the upcoming show, which will include an array of theatrics, pyrotechnics, aerialists, wild video displays, a rollercoaster drum set and even a "little people" version of the band.
This isn't a thing where we just set up some amps and go out and play. The production is so over the top, man. It's a full-blown show… It's Cirque du Soleil meets rock. This is not a show where you just sit there and look at the stage. It's happening all around you. We're utilizing the whole place, the whole Joint, as the stage. We came up with some of the craziest ideas we could, then went to the engineers to see if it was possible.
Here's the guys talking about the show in Las Vegas:

Online Poll
David Vetter was born with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), meaning his body had no immune system to fight off diseases. Because his older brother had died from complications of the same condition, his parents were prepared for David's birth and arranged for a germ-free delivery on September 21, 1971. Once the medical team determined that David was also afflicted with SCID, he lived in plastic isolator bubble environments while waiting for a matching bone marrow donor or a cure for his ailment. He would not leave the protective environments until a few weeks before his death in February 1984, at age 12.
After doctors determined that David had SCID and his sister's bone marrow was not a match, should he have been removed from the bubble?

SDG&E: Record Power Use Predicted This Summer In San Diego
Thursday, June 26, 2014
Aired 6/26/14 on KPBS News.
San Diego utility officials say they expect to set power usage records this summer, but they say there will be enough electricity to meet demand.
San Diego's power supply landscape is sharply different than it was just a few years ago.
The San Onofre nuclear plant is shut down, the Sunrise Powerlink is running and the recovering economy is hungry for power. SDG&E President and Chief Operating Officer Steven Davis said challenges are looming.
"We anticipate in our planning for a peak demand, under normal conditions to be 4,800 megawatts. And 5,300 megawatts under extreme weather conditions," Davis said.
The projected peak is just over 100 megawatts more than the previous record set in 2010. Davis says the jump in demand is from normal economic growth.
"Power grid managers think they have the capacity to be able to deal with the demand this summer. But there are some concerns. If things get hot, or there's a fire, it could put stress on the equipment," Davis said.
The California Energy Commission's Bob Weisenmiller says there's a pretty good chance that there will be stress this summer.
"San Ononfre was a huge resource here. Without that we've gotten through the last couple of summers, as you know. However, we've had relatively mild weather for the last two summers. Last year was somewhat cooler than average and the summer before was more or less average," Weisenmiller said.
Weisenmiller says he's confident this will be a hotter than average summer, and that not only increases power demand, but it raises the risk of wildfires. Flames could interrupt the flow of electricity from certain regions and destabilize the gird.
San Diego Gas and Electric officials are counting on their customers to help out when the mercury rises. SDG&E's Caroline Winn says the utility liked the response during an unexpected May hot spell. But she also knows a long run of hot weather presents problems.
"When there's 100 degree temperatures for multiple days, the first couple of days our customers are very good at conserving. You get into day three or day four they are kind of tired of conserving so those are the days that we really have to watch out for," Winn said.
Winn says if customers are successful in easing demand for power during peak use days, utility officials won't have to make tough choices that could result in the lights going out for some customers.

Translation, the "save the planet" crowd have been destroying our capacity to provide adequate power (across the nation), be prepared for pathetic power outages, possible rioting and if an outage lasts long enough, total anarchy.
Thank you environmentalists.
RLA | June 26, 2014 at 9:30 p.m. ― 2 years, 9 months ago
Don't worry. There will be a few brown-outs and threats to reduce power just prior to a large rate increase request. That request will be desperately approved and the SEMPRA/SDGE stock holders will live happily ever after.
Mmikey | June 27, 2014 at 7:16 a.m. ― 2 years, 9 months ago
i was wondering, if you have a solar system that feeds back into the grid, are you still subject to brown outs ?

Too bad Mitsubishi screwed up and provided San Onofre with faulty equipment. Otherwise we would have a running nuclear reactor right now.

Like many first novels, This Side of Paradise is largely autobiographical.
Amory Blaine, the protagonist, is drawn from Fitzgerald's adolescence and young manhood. The narrative follows Blaine from his relatively pampered childhood, where he had a very close relationship to his mother, through the difficulties of adjusting to the outside world in prep school and then on through his development as a "romantic egoist" at Princeton. The years at Princeton represent the first genuinely realistic depiction of American college life, and suggest that life on the campus is exciting and intellectually stimulating. For aspiring collegians, the first part of This Side of Paradise was like a guidebook, offering suggestions about how to behave socially, and some sense of the curriculum, mentioning sixty-four titles and ninety-eight writers. Fitzgerald later called the book "A Romance and a Reading List," and the romantic element included Blaine's unsuccessful courtship of...

After reading MANY stories about athletes at Sochi who have worked so hard to just get to the games, let alone win a medal, I made the graphic above in Fireworks. Some of the stories (just some) include:
Andrew Weibrecht & Bode Miller – Super G
Sage Kotsenburg and Jamie Anderson– Slopestyle
Ice Dancing Rivalry (how both pairs improved each competition
Inspiring Moments from the Sochi Games – Washington Post
As you can imagine (being your teacher), I believe that you can apply these same ideals to whatever you do, whether it's school, sports, music, writing…whatever aspect of your life you can imagine!
Also interesting: Practice Makes Perfect Infographic
You can make a similar graphic in Fireworks! (And yes, there are some websites like Wordle that make it a snap), however, you can make it yourself! Steps?
Draw a shape. Add your text. Use the scale, skew and distort tools to make your text fit.
If your shape has curves, use the Vector Path tool (look under the Pen Tool) to draw the curve, then attach your text to that path.
Once your text follows your shape, take off the stroke!

Loved by people with gluten allergies and Passover observers alike, coconut macaroons are the go-to treat for many folks who are avoiding wheat-based foods. They're also an old cult classic—the cookie was popular in bakeries long before we started worshiping the sexier pastel import that spells its name with just one "o". Coconut macaroons may not be adorable, but, for coconut lovers, they're unadulterated coconut bliss.
They're also a great equalizer in the kitchen: easy to make, and involving few ingredients. Basic recipes call for coconut, egg whites, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Fancier versions call for sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, or even dehydrated pineapple chunks. For me, coconut was born to pair with dark chocolate, so I endure the extra step of tempering to enrobe, dunk, and drizzle.
There are two different styles of coconut macaroons—those made with unsweetened, desiccated coconut (which is the kind that has been fully dried and contains no additives) and those made with moist, sweetened, shredded ribbons of coconut. The latter is readily available at major grocery stores and produces a very moist cookie, while the former is only available in specialty stores or online. The unsweetened version is slightly more high-maintenance because it requires that the cookies be firmly packed together for baking. But there's a payoff: it allows the baker to control the sweetness, and yields a crisper, dryer cookie that tastes more grown up.
When making either type of macaroon, here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Toast the coconut beforehand to release the oils (and for the sweetened version, for a bit of caramelization), and enhance the flavor
- Always dampen your hands before shaping macaroons to prevent sticking
- If you are planning to dip the macaroons in chocolate, be sure to allow them to cool completely before you begin
Click through the slideshow for helpful tips for both types, then get yourself some coconut and make your own. They are a logical treat for Passover, and great for Easter too.

Construction workers Ryan Bell, left, and Shawna Smith, both electricians with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union, prep wire for installing at Union Station, which is undergoing an extensive renovation and expansion, in Denver, on Monday. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 08, 2014 3:46 PM
DENVER — The construction industry says it's in danger of running short on workers to keep up with the demand for building projects, as employees age and more teens are pushed to go to college. To counter the effect, a top construction trade group kicked off an effort Tuesday to help bolster the employment ranks.
The plan by the Associated General Contractors of America, which represents 30,000 companies, aims to draw more people into building trades by establishing charter schools focused on technical training, starting non-union apprenticeship programs and pushing for immigration reform.
The employment concern comes despite the fact that more than 2 million construction workers were laid off during the recession. The group believes many of the laid-off workers have since found work in other fields or have retired.
Meanwhile, about 44 percent of the construction workforce is age 45 or older and nearly one of every five construction workers is 55 or older, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics.
On immigration reform, the group wants protections for immigrants already in the country and higher caps on the number foreign workers temporarily allowed into the country to work on construction projects.
"Unless there is action soon on these fronts, the construction industry in Colorado and across the country will face worker shortages with increasing frequency," Ken Simonson, the association's chief economist, said over hammering and the whirring of a drill at Denver's Union Station.
"These shortages have the potential to undermine broader economic growth by needlessly delaying and inflating the cost of construction and development," he said.
The station in the city's trendy lower downtown neighborhood is being renovated and a hotel and shops are being added along with commuter rail and bus service.
The group picked Denver for the announcement because it has been one of the top 10 metro areas for construction hiring in the past year. Simonson said Colorado's oil and gas industry is one of the main customers for new construction, but added that the industry is also competing for the same workers as builders.
Two union electricians working on a train platform said they saw the need for more training for future workers, noting that people been brought in from Nebraska and Oregon to finish the construction project. However, they said training programs offered by their union, the United Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, worked well and paid workers as they trained.
Electrician Shawna Smith said she worked as a teller for a credit union before deciding she'd rather work outside with her hands. She said she was surprised to work with new apprentices who didn't even know how to use a power drill or a ratchet set.

"The Thoreau of the American West."
—Larry McMurty, author of Lonesome Dove
"Abbey is a fresh breath from the father reaches and canyons of the diminishing frontier."
—Houston Chronicle
"One of the very best writers to deal with the American West."
—Washington Post
A half-century after its original publication, Edward Abbey's classic 1962 novel, Fire on the Mountain, still retains its beauty, power, and relevance. Now with a new introduction by New York Times bestseller Douglas Brinkley (The Wilderness Warrior, Walter Cronkite), this extraordinary tale by the legendary icon of the environmentalism movement and author of The Monkey Wrench Gang proudly celebrates rugged American individualism, as it tells the story of one tough old loner's stand against the combined, well-armed forces of government that are determined to clear him from his land
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Edward Abbey was a hero to environmentalists and rebels of every stripe. With Fire on the Mountain, this literary giant of the New West gave readers a powerful, moving, and enduring tale that gloriously celebrates the undying spirit of American individualism. This fiftieth anniversary edition, with an introduction by historian Douglas Brinkley, reminds readers of Abbey's powerful conviction that "a patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."
John Vogelin's land is his lifea barren stretch of New Mexican wilderness mercifully bypassed by civilization. Then the government moves in. And suddenly the elderly, mule-stubborn rancher is confronting the combined land-grabbing greed of the county sheriff, the Department of the Interior, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the U.S. Air Force. But a tough old man is like a mountain lion: if you back him into a corner, he'll come out fighting.

text: Print Calorie Counting Tips and Tools By Verywell Staff Updated December 07, 2016 Calorie counts are the first thing you probably look at when you look at a nutrition facts label. Food provides energy that comes in the form of calories (or kilocalories). All foods provide calories, whether they have a nutrition label or not, and it's much easier to achieve your weight goals when you know how many.A calorie counter is one of the easiest ways to consistently keep track of your calorie intake. You can use an app on your phone or computer. Even if you don't consistently use a calorie counter, it's a good idea to try it out for at least a day or two, preferably a typical weekday and a typical weekend day, to know if you're meeting your daily calorie goal.You should also familiarize yourself with the calorie counts of your favorite foods so that you can make smarter in-the-moment decisions. Article Calories in Cantaloupe and Their Health Benefits Article What Are the Nutrition Facts for Blackberries? Knowledge is power, after all. Start by reviewing nutrition labels. If you have your phone handy you can easily search for the food. Many calorie counter apps also allow you to scan a food's barcode to easily locate its nutrition facts label. In addition to calories, labels provide valuable information about what's in your food, so it's crucial that you understand how to read them. And make sure to follow the do's and don'ts of counting calories correctly!How Many Calories Should I Eat?Knowing the calorie counts of your favorite foods is only helpful if you know the total number you should be striving for. The truth is that the number varies person-to-person based on age, gender, activity level, daily calories burned, and weight goals. In other words, the "2000 calorie diet" quoted on nutrition facts labels doesn't apply to everyone.So how many calories should you be eating? Enter your information into a daily calorie goal calculator to find out, then use a calorie counter to track your food intake and see if you're meeting your goal.How Many Calories Are in Carbs, Proteins, Fats, and Alcohol?Some foods contain more calories than others, and it often depends on the macronutrient content of the food. In general, foods are made up of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, each of which provide a different number of calories:Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gramProteins provide 4 calories per gramFats provide 9 calories per gramIf you're drinking alcohol, keep in mind that one gram provides seven calories. After a few drinks, the calories in your favorite alcoholic drinks can really stack up—and that makes sense. Article Coconut Nutrition Facts: Calories and Health Benefits Article What Are the Healthiest Salad Dressings? Proper portion sizes will provide a balanced amount of calories. Make a few portion size mistakes or eat a meal too high in dietary fat and you may be consuming more calories than you realize.Are All Calories the Same? Understanding Calories vs. Quality of DietDoes it matter where your calories come from? Is it better to get most of your calories from protein, or eat fewer calories from carbs?Experts have argued on this topic for some time, but the answer is simple: a calorie is just a calorie when it comes to counting the numbers, but the different sources of calories can have different effects on your weight because of factors like satiety and effects on hormones.Bottom line: focus on eating a healthy, balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to get the most benefit.Are Nutrition Facts Labels Accurate?We'd like to believe that nutrition facts labels are 100 percent accurate, but because of imperfect measuring techniques, FDA labeling regulations, variations in cooking techniques, and factors like digestibility, they're often not. The numbers we see are merely estimates—but they're strong estimates that we can use to achieve our goals.Remember, the formulas used to figure out calorie goals provide estimates too. If you're closely following them but aren't seeing the results you're aiming for, it's a good idea to work with a registered dietitian, doctor, or other health professional to figure out why.

I played the demo a couple years ago when it first came out, and I remember being bored to death of it. I wrote this game off as an average God of War/Zelda clone, and that's what was being said about it on certain video game TV shows.
2 years later, the whole crew is excited about this and even moreso for Darksiders II, and I have to wonder, did the demo give me the wrong impression? I am a big fan of Legend of Zelda games and God of War, so will this appeal to me? I'm aware that I can probably find it for $20, but I'm a man of principle. I don't buy a game unless I know I'll like it.

San Clemente group apologizes for false statements in City Council ads
San Clemente resident Charles Mann issued an apology Friday to the San Clemente Chamber of Commerce for any suggestion in City Council election fliers that anyone at the chamber engaged in misconduct.
It stems from fliers circulated by Watchdog for San Clemente Responsible Government, a political-action committee headed by Mann, that were critical of council candidates Jim Dahl and Mike Mortenson.
The fliers included suggestions of a chamber "kickback" to Dahl's campaign after he had "voted to give $400,000 in taxpayer money to the private Chamber of Commerce PAC and then gets support from them for his election."
Another flier said the chamber's PAC spent $4,000 on Mortenson's campaign, adding that "taxpayers funded it!"
The chamber, through its attorney Stuart Leviton, demanded an immediate public retraction Monday, the day before the City Council election for two available seats, including Dahl's. In the election, candidates Chris Hamm and incumbent Bob Baker were the winners, with Dahl and Mortenson placing third and fourth.
Mann, in a letter to Leviton dated the day after the election, wrote:
"On behalf of Watchdog for San Clemente Responsible Government – A Committee Formed to Oppose Jim Dahl and Michael Mortenson for City Council 2012 ('Watchdog'), Jeri Mann, Better Presenter LLC, Janice Smith, Pacific Corporate Consultants Inc. and myself, I hereby acknowledge that statements regarding the San Clemente Chamber of Commerce in two political advertisements that Watchdog distributed are false."
"I apologize to the chamber, its members and its directors for any suggestion that anyone associated with the chamber has engaged in any misconduct," he added. "Please convey my apologies to your clients, and please feel free to share this letter with the media. I trust that this acknowledgement and apology fully and completely resolve the matter and that we can all put this dispute behind us."
Lynn Wood, chief executive of the chamber, issued a statement in response:
"We are pleased that Charles and Jeri Mann and their associates have acknowledged that during the course of the recent City Council campaign they caused to be published false statements about the chamber and that they have apologized for publishing those false statements.� We accept their apology.
"We are hopeful that going forward, although we may disagree on the merits of various ideas and proposals, all sides will debate the facts and relative merits of proposals and not resort to false statements to support their positions or their favored candidates.
"We look forward to working with the City Council and all interested parties within San Clemente to move our city forward and to maintain an environment within San Clemente that values, supports and encourages a vibrant business community."
On Friday, Mann said he was in Europe when the two false statements went into the fliers but that he takes full responsibility "for not having reviewed it well enough." He said he was glad the chamber caught it because his intent was "not to make false statements or do anything incorrect," he said. "My goal is just to do what is right and be able to expose the correct information."
Mann said chamber members fund the chamber's PAC – not taxpayer money or money that the Watchdog PAC said Dahl and the City Council had approved to go to the chamber. "We should never have put that in there," Mann said. "It was an honest mistake."
Wood, when asked to comment on Mann's further statements, stuck to her original statement. "I can't comment on that," she said.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Make Your Own Gear › Sources for Carbon Fiber sheets (weaved, ready for resin)?
Jul 9, 2013 at 4:12 pm #1305186
I've seen a few people making sheaths and other materials out of carbon fiber and I'm wondering if there's a source out there that I should look for?
I'm specifically looking for 1k or 3k sheets as I'd be making molds for tiny cycling and outdoor bits and prototypes.
The place that came up on google first shows $250 for a 42"x36" sheet of 1k…seems overpriced at $24/sqft?
Jul 9, 2013 at 11:05 pm #2004360Jordan, ebay has multiple listings for 3k plain weave carbon fiber cloth for less than 1/10th of the price you found. I have also found half a dozen or more other suppliers online using google.
Have you decided exactly what kind of carbon fabric you need? 4 harness satin? Twill? Plain weave? If you plan to lay up bike parts with complex curves you'll need (or wish you had) a vacuum setup and satin weave cloth (not plain weave). Try searching google or ebay with more specific terms and appropriate jargon ("cloth" rather than "sheets").
Jul 11, 2013 at 10:02 am #2004793I'm not positive about the weave I need. The items I'm making around going to need to be weight baring so much…stuff like a "race number holder" for my bike and probably an UL eating utensil…things of that nature. I'm not terribly interested in the weight savings of 1k as I am the smaller weave which (I believe) will work better for very tight bends in the fabric.
Searching for cloth helped a lot and I ended up finding a starters kit as well as some cool looking (and cheap) carbon/kelvar weaves which should be interesting as well.
Thanks for the help though. I'll probably just get a kit for starters and go from there if I enjoy it enough.
Jul 11, 2013 at 10:09 am #2004799Jordan,
Check out CST SalesMike
Jul 11, 2013 at 12:38 pm #2004852Yes, as Mike said, CST sales is one vendor with a decent selection, although I've found that their prices are higher than some others.
Also, for an UL eating utensil, keep in mind that no common epoxy is food-grade. There are two that I know of that are, but they are obscure, expensive, and have poor mechanical properties. Also, some common epoxies soften quite a bit at boiling water temperatures. So, for the utensil, my recommendation is to use an epoxy that withstands higher temperatures, and then give the utensil a final coating with something (like a silicone) that is food safe.
Jul 11, 2013 at 2:11 pm #2004887Does Locura sell fabric and epoxy? Any idea what the weight per yard is that he uses on his lids(threads per inch) Has he published a msds sheet on his lids? Wonder if he uses the same epoxy as his other items.
Jul 11, 2013 at 3:09 pm #2004918Dan, Josh at Ruta Locura doesn't advertise any composite layup supplies on his website. I don't know if he'd be willing to sell any of it.
I made a carbon/kevlar composite lid for my cookpot using supplies I bought from vendors online. When I was doing some early experimenting prior to that project I found that two layers of 5oz plain weave 3k carbon cloth is plenty strong for a pot lid if you treat it carefully.
Threads per inch is not a common way to describe carbon cloth for composite reinforcement (it is used for kevlar and fiberglass, sometimes). For carbon, the convention is to note the number of filaments per tow (1k, 3k, 6k, etc.), the weave type (plain, twill, satin, etc.), and the areal density (5oz, 14oz, etc.).
Forgive me if you know this stuff already. Just noticed your use of threads per inch in your post and thought this info might be helpful.
Jul 11, 2013 at 4:15 pm #2004955I thought Josh may have given that info out at one time when I think I had heard he was no longer making the lids.
Maybe it's "tow" per inch :-)
Why did you use 2 layers of cloth instead of choosing a single layer of a thickness 2x that of the material you used? I guess a sheet of 3k instead of 2 sheets of 1k would work? dunno!
Yes, your info was helpful….thank you! I'm new to this DIY fabrication.
Jul 11, 2013 at 5:04 pm #2004965Interesting information. I didn't realize working with CF was within reach of the garage MYOG'er.
Jul 11, 2013 at 6:45 pm #2004994Yes, it's fairly easy to lay things up in carbon fiber. I posted about several items I made, including this knife sheath:
The investment to get started doing hand layup of carbon fiber is about $30 in epoxy, $35 in carbon cloth, and $30 in other incidental stuff (a roller, tape, masking plastic, foam, clamps, etc). That amount of material would provide for lots of projects.
Dan Y., I would recommend using a minimum of two (three is better) layers of reinforcement for two reasons. First, it ensures that no epoxy-only voids in the weave of the reinforcement will penetrate through the entire thickness of the part. If you hold a part made with a single layer of heavy cloth up to the light, you'll see spots of light arranged in a grid where there are gaps in the weave of the cloth. Carbon fiber reinforcement cloth tends to be very loosely woven to avoid air entrapment (to permit the epoxy to fill all the spaces). If you use more than one layer of lighter cloth, any epoxy-filled voids in the weave will be shallow (and reinforced by carbon under or over it). Second, using more than one layer of lighter cloth allows you some flexibility in the way you design the reinforcement. You can align the layers so all the reinforcement goes in two directions, or you can rotate them so you have reinforcement in 4, 6, 8, or more directions.
Jul 11, 2013 at 7:54 pm #2005026I think I'll have to give it a try. I'll use your suggestions and see how it goes.
You say you wrapped the knife sheath in PE film before compressing it. What is PE film?
Jul 11, 2013 at 9:30 pm #2005066PE = polyethylene. A piece cut from a kitchen garbage bag.
Jul 11, 2013 at 11:55 pm #2005097> Has he published a msds sheet on his lids?
I don't suppose it would hurt to ask but I doubt he would have an MSDS for an article. It isn't intended to be heated to the point of melting or releasing a fume. It won't be ground or etc. It isn't likely to be any more hazardous than a tripod leg. Except it is being used to cover a pot.
I figure you ask because of the other comment about food grade epoxies or silicone coating. I really don't know if there is any kind of certification for cooking stuff. I never paid attention when I have bought cookware.
Jul 12, 2013 at 7:23 am #2005137Hello Tanner,
In my research I found that there is a food grade epoxy for use with carbon fiber fabric. With all the hullabaloo about leaching chemicals I was curious about it's use.I used to work in the screen printing industry. We printed inks on flame treated 1/4" thick polyethelene sheets. The flames eliminated whatever it was that prevented the ink from sticking. We flame treated and then had to print the sheets on the same day before the chemicals would leach out. If we waited 24 hours the ink adhesion was splotchy over the entire sheet. 48 hours and the complete sheet was non printable due to leaching and had to be flame treated(gas fired) again.
Pot lids heated to 212 degrees could surely have some epoxy goodies leach out. If I were to make my own pot lids I would want the food grade stuff.
A friend of mine had his own printing company and did lots of printing on metal sheet. He used epoxy ink. He became allergic to the catalyst used and had to stop using that type of ink. He switched to an ink cured with ultraviolet light. To this day his skin on his hands is dry and cracked and are not a good sight for sore eyes.
Jul 12, 2013 at 9:30 am #2005177Dan, what is the name of the food-safe epoxy you found?
There are two FDA standards for food-grade materials. The less stringent standard is FDA CFR 175.105. An epoxy that meets this standard is considered safe for incidental or indirect contact with foods, but cannot be used for food containers or contact with food at elevated temperatures. The more stringent standard is FDA CFR 175.300. This standard is for materials that will be in direct contact with food or any contact with heated food.
There are quite a few epoxies (almost all of them designed for coating applications, not composites) from several companies that meet the FDA CFR 175.105 standard. There are a smaller number of coating (not composite) epoxies that meet the FDA CFR 175.300 standard, but Adtech EL-300 is the only epoxy I know of that meets FDA CFR 175.300 and can be used for composite layup. All of these are an order of magnitude weaker than the best (non-food-safe) composite epoxies.
Jul 12, 2013 at 12:10 pm #2005254Colin, this is the one I came across a couple of times mentioned on forums etc:
I'm sure that the manufacture advises following the direction to the letter.
I don't think I found an over the counter supplier in small quantities.
Jul 12, 2013 at 1:14 pm #2005278Other than a requirement developed for cooking stuff (maybe by FDA but I really have no clue), the fellow might have a Product Data Sheet. I doubt even that… You may know, but Product Data being more about constraints in use, concentrations, or whatever. In contrast to MSDS.
Companies that manufacturer very processed food ingredients that really do need an MSDS really don't like to release one. I can see their point. An MSDS for food ingredients just sounds unwholesome. MSDS aren't required for food as you might use it at home. Some commercial bakeries… factories use things that need MSDS even if it is a 'natural' flavoring. Not talking about vinegar and things that are generally recognized to be able to cause injury…
Anyway, I certainly see your point. It is a valid concern. Just saying you might need a little different approach to get your answer as I doubt he will like to discuss leaching and etc. I could be wrong. However, if he used food grade stuff, I imagine he would bang a drum..?
Jul 12, 2013 at 2:35 pm #2005298Dan, I've used Masterbond EP42HT-2FG as a coating for a water bath in the lab. Masterbond EP42HT-2FG is essentially a translucent amber paint. It is one of a dozen or more coating epoxies that I know of that meet the FDA 175.300 standard.
If you saturated some carbon cloth with Masterbond EP42HT-2FG, you'd get a composite, but it would be much weaker than one made with Adtech EL-300, which was designed for composites and is mechanically strong once cured (and also meets the FDA 175.300 standard).
I have no criticisms of Josh at Ruta Locura, but I imagine that the epoxy he used for his lids is a standard (non food-grade) epoxy like one of the West System combinations or Aeropoxy products. Those companies say in their literature that they cannot and will never recommend their epoxies for food or potable water containers, but, as I said, I wouldn't fault Josh if he used these or something similar. I think the risk to users is small, and (importantly) the small risk is well known, so users can make their own decisions. My decision would be to coat it with silicone or use a FDA 175.300 compliant epoxy, but most other users might not worry about it.
Jul 13, 2013 at 3:03 am #2005459Good. Thanks.
Mmm, for some reason, I missed your post that preceded my earlier one… I see, now. FDA 175.300Jul 13, 2013 at 5:30 am #2005467When I wear Latex gloves I get an allergic reaction on my skin. Nitrile is user friendly. Using food grade epoxy might be the best for me. Asking a question about R. Lucura was to get a product name off the msds sheet, no criticism intended.
A bit of info found in my research showed that using too much catalyst will cause an improper hardening and will leach more readily when heated.
I agree that most users won't worry about the the leaching just as most people don't worry about smoking or use of alcohol.
My concerns were for ME. Mixing the chemicals and then machining the end product.
Using Masterbond EP42HT-2FG might be strong enough for a 4" diameter pot lid but not for something else.
Thanks for your help everyone. Mission accomplished.

The Cincinnati Reds hope right-hander Homer Bailey is ready for spring training after having surgery to repair a tear in the flexor mass tendon of his right forearm. The operation is scheduled for Friday, reports C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Reds had been trying a more conservative route, trainer Paul Lessard said, but the tendon was not healing. Surgery, especially the timing, leaves open the possibility that rehab will delay Bailey getting back on the mound in 2015.
The Reds hope Bailey will be ready to participate in spring training and start the season with the team. The injury is similar, but less severe, to the one Jonathan Broxton had in 2013. Broxton had surgery in August and started the season on the disabled list, but only missed the first week of the season and pitched well for Cincinnati before the Reds traded him to Milwaukee on Sunday.
"I don't know the specifics, but he should be just about ready to go for spring training," Lessard said.
Bailey in 2012 and 2013 became one of the better pitchers in the National League, throwing two no-hitters and posting strong overall numbers despite pitching home games at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park. Parlaying that success into a six-year, $105 million contract before this season, Bailey pitched well again after a slow start, posting a 3.71 ERA with 124 strikeouts in 145 innings. Since the 2012 season began, Fangraphs ranks Bailey as the 15th-best pitcher in the NL by wins above replacement. Another Reds right-hander, Mat Latos, has accumulated 8.8 WAR units in that time. Clayton Kershaw leads the NL with 18.1, with Adam Wainwright second at 13.9.
Bailey still looks like Christian Bale of "Batman" fame — and the surgery won't affect that.
Bailey's injury was one of several key setbacks for the Reds this season, who almost certainly would have contended for longer if they hadn't been saddled with so many injuries. Slugger Joey Votto, second baseman Brandon Phillips, outfielder Jay Bruce, closer Aroldis Chapman, Latos and others — having an All-Star M*A*S*H* unit has killed Cincy's chances this season, as Jon Fay writes. The Reds won at least 90 games and made the playoffs three times since 2010, but are 66-73 right now.
The good news is, the Reds might not need to be overhauled in order to get better. But they definitely need better health.

Freshman golfer Bianca Armanini approaches the tee, pulls back her club, drives through the ball and watches as it soars down the fairway and lands safely on the putting green. This, however, has taken place hours, and possibly even days, before she ever steps on the course.
The Hawaii native has been implementing a technique that combines controlled breathing, pre-visualization and hypnosis.
"It gets rid of all the jitters," Armanini said.
There appeared to be no jitters as she placed in the top 20 in her Wildcat debut. Armanini had the best score for the 'Cats and led the team to a fifth place finish among 17 teams at the Grand Canyon Fall Invitational Sept. 24 in Litchfield, Ariz.
Her father, Doug Armanini, is a sports hypnotist and introduced his daughter to the training that helps her keep a calm demeanor, even during stressful golf tournaments.
"It relaxes you and speaks to your subconscious," she said.
Wildcat golfers Alexandra Bush and Sarah McComish have had sessions with Doug Armanini as well. He joined the team before the Viking Invitational at Western Washington University to help prepare them for the tournament.
"I want to see them make it all the way to nationals and win the title," he said.
The process is about creating mental imagery, Doug Armanini said. He aims to remove negative mental images and sometimes replace them with positive ones. This achieves a deeper state of consciousness, and these changes can be made through advanced breathing techniques.
The process, known as diaphragmatic breathing, involves circular breathing in from the nose and out through the mouth as the lungs slowly fill up from the bottom to the top, Doug Armanini said. It continues as the athlete enters a semi-conscious state, which rides the edge between sleep and full awareness.
A question is then asked to aim and activate the mind's eye,where the imagination exists, and to turn the visions into truths, he said.
Being hypnotized is relaxing, but Bianca Armanini is always able to hear her father, she said.
This is important, because only real results can be achieved through the individual's own words and visions, Doug Armanini said.
Others who use the same techniques have had success. In 2011, Bianca's brother, Chris Armanini, along with the rest of the University of Hawaii at Hilo's men's golf team, won the Pacific West Division Championship with the aid of Doug Armanini's techniques.
Many top athletes consider the techniques integral parts of their game.
Jack Nicklaus, the winner of 18 PGA major tournaments and author of "Golf My Way," shares his experience using some of the same techniques to keep every shot and every hole in a focused picture in his book.
"It's like a color movie," Nicklaus said in his book, "and the next scene shows me having the kind of swing that will turn the images into reality."
The Wildcat women aim to turn the vision of a championship title into a reality.

Research Description
College Teaching [Most of my professional activity since retiring in 2004]:
- How can we foster critical thinking in courses across the curriculum?
- How can we increase achievement, equity and retention across the curriculum?
- How can we foster a deeper understanding of evolution?
- Alternatives to blaming the students: Applying the scholarship of teaching and learning
Evolutionary and developmental ecology of sex [No active research currently. Examples of past efforts]:
- Why do hot turtle eggs become females? Sex in many, but not all, turtles is determined by incubation temperature. Is this adaptive or a primitive inefficiency? We found lineages which have temperature dependent sex determination in some species and normally genetically determined sex in others. We examed hormone levels, population structure and ecology for ways in which temperature determination can be adaptive. We also showed that sex ratio can be influenced by carbon dioxide and by metabolic heat in crowded developing eggs.
- Why don't male lizards keep high levels of testosterone year-around? We showed that implanting testosterone outside the breeding season increases both sprint speed and endurance. On the other hand, it slowed growth and increaseed levels of mite infestation.
- Earlier efforts also included the systematics etc. of Latin American amphibians, especially microhylid frogs.

On September 23, 2013, The UDC David A. Clarke School of Law presented a new book event: essay readings and a discussion of How Can You Represent Those People with co-authors Angela Davis, Professor of Law, Amer. Univ. Washington College of Law; Vida Johnson, Visiting Professor of Law, Georgetown Law; David Singleton, Director, Ohio Justice & Policy Center; and Abbe Smith, Professor of Law, Georgetown Law. The panel was moderated by Shelley Broderick, Dean, UDC Clarke School of Law.
The book is the first-ever collection of essays offering a response to the "Cocktail Party Question" asked of every criminal lawyer: how do you represent guilty criminals?
"When I was a criminal defense lawyer I was asked "The Question" so many times I got sick of it. It takes an essay to fully answer, and this book has 15 brilliant ones. Some of the essays are laugh-out-loud funny, others deeply moving. Read them all and you'll understand why everyone – guilty or innocent, you or me – is entitled to a good lawyer." - John Grisham

Rustiness may have played a part in the home side's below-par performance with last week's match at Newton Stewart called off due to a waterlogged pitch at Bladnoch Park, but such was the attacking adventure and defensive confidence of the visitors it is debatable whether the extra game time would have made a difference to the outcome.
Irvine have a chance to demonstrate this was just a "blip" however, with another side challenging at the top of the league, GHK, the next visitors to Marress.
East Kilbride began the match strongly, forcing numerous good attacking positions before full back Scott Shankie edged them in front with a penalty after 7 minutes.
Shankie repeated the dose seven minutes later when the home side were ruled guilty of obstruction as they tried to build out of defence, before the full back extended the visitors' lead still further with the game's opening try, finishing off a nice interchange of passes in the left corner before converting his own score to put his side 13-0 up after 17 minutes.
Six minutes later they brought up the twenty. Ironically it came from an Irvine penalty after Shankie had allowed himself to become isolated on another dangerous run into the Irvine half, the visitors turning the ball over and working it to centre Ian Brown, who duly raced clear to score the first of a hat trick in the corner. Shankie atoned for his earlier error by adding the conversion.
Irvine had their first attack worthy of the name shortly before the half hour when a good run by Kris Hobson into the East Kilbride half set up a promising handling move but the pressure ended when Ruchin Filander knocked on trying to gather the ball at pace.
The visitors took full advantage of the let-off shortly afterwards, with Shankie adding another penalty following the sin-binning of flanker Craig Maxwell for killing the ball. This matched East Kilbride's points total in the previous meeting of the two sides at Torrance House with only 32 minutes played.
There was no further scoring before half time, but Irvine shot themselves in the foot within minutes of the restart.
Ruchin Filander fielded a kick to the corner and passed to Craig Hobson, who appeared to become caught in two minds whether to clear the ball or run it and ultimately succeeded only in gifting the visitors a soft try through lock forward Craig Ferguson Junior, which Shankie again converted to make it 30-0.
Irvine pinned the visitors back in their 22 from the restart but again the East Kilbride forwards managed to turn the ball over, and this time winger Craig Ferguson Senior was the beneficiary, running down the left to notch the bonus point try. Shankie's conversion took the score to 37-0 with still over half an hour to go.
The more Irvine chased the game the more it seemed to run away from them, and by the hour mark the visitors were still further in front through Brown's second try of the afternoon, which again came from turnover ball from a penalty to the home side.
Another routine conversion by Shankie made it 44-0 and nine minutes later the East Kilbride forwards got in on the act, mauling number 8 Calum Aitken over in the corner for the only unconverted try of the afternoon, before the Lanarkshire side were finally forced to show up in defence in the closing minutes.
The East Kilbride captain could be heard for much of the second half imploring his team-mates to keep Irvine to nil, and their determination to do so was epitomised with three minutes to go when prop Ben Auld looked set to crown Irvine's best spell of pressure in the match with a try in the corner, only to be well marshalled into touch before he was able to get the ball down.
There was still a chance for Irvine to salvage something from the wreckage of their afternoon when they stole the resulting lineout, but again they were unable to capitalise on the possession and eventually Brown intercepted a Hail Mary kick play and raced the length of the field to complete his hat trick under the posts. Shankie's conversion rounded off the scoring at 56-0.
It was also a difficult day at the office for Marress, who lost ground in the Reserve West 2 promotion race with a 34-8 defeat at home to Garnock, lock forward Sandy Thomson's first competitive try for the club proving the only highlight. Stuart Tracey also notched a penalty for the home side, who could have moved into second place with victory but now sit six points behind the Lochshore side with a game in hand. Next up they are due to visit Stewartry.

ASP: Working with ajax
Hey. I've made a script that pulls information from my database to a textbox but it's not in english and it shows the letters instead of in their original form as question marks. (IE: Hello = ????).
When I opened my database to see if the information is correct there I saw that it's ok but when it draws it from the database into the textarea I get this funny looking text.
Here's my insertion code:
Code:<%@ Language=VBScript %> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html dir="rtl"> <head> <title> טאודור בר - מערכת ניהול </title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1255" /> </head> <body> <% Function strFormat(str) If IsEmpty(str) or IsNull(str) Then Exit Function Str = Replace(str,"<","<") Str = Replace(str,">",">") Str = Replace(str,"'","'") Str = Replace(str,"""",""") Str = Replace(str,chr(13),"<br />") Str = Replace(str,"'","'") strFormat = str End Function Dim Lang Dim Conn Dim Rs Dim SQL Lang = Request.Form("language") Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Conn.Open = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.Oledb.4.0; Data Source='" & Server.MapPath("../db.mdb") & "'" SQL = "UPDATE contents SET content = '" & StrFormat(Request.Form("txt")) & "' WHERE page='index' AND lang='" & Lang & "'" Conn.Execute SQL Conn.Close Set Conn = Nothing Response.Redirect Request.Form("url") %> </body> </html>

Your title is a little deceiving, as this is not an AJAX problem, but a text encoding problem.
So, here's a question --
You say that when you look at the data in the database that it's OK, but when you retrieve it INTO a textbox, there is an encoding issue.
Have you tried just doing a simple response.write or putting it into a DIV (or a PRE) to see if it returns correctly?To say my fate is not tied to your fate is like saying, 'Your end of the boat is sinking.' -- Hugh Downs

There have been a few posts as of late with regards to Hebrew ( Semitic ) alphabet.
Make sure that you use a couple of little tricks:
1) Make sure your page encoding is UTF-8. This is done with a META tag
Code:<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
More information on Locale IDs (LCID) can be found here.
Let me know if this works for you.To say my fate is not tied to your fate is like saying, 'Your end of the boat is sinking.' -- Hugh Downs
Not yet solved.
Thanks for the help!
I thought windows-1255 is the hebrew charset and that's what I used in my page but now I've tried yours and it still doesn't work.
I've also added the Session.LCID = 1037 at the beginning of the page and still I get the same unidentified letters error.
When I checked my ajax.asp document it showed the letters alright too.Last edited by BarrMan; 09-15-2007 at 03:49 PM.

By Sheena Barnett/NEMS Daily Journal
It's not often a band refers to one of its members as, basically,
But that's exactly how Star & Micey sees one of its own.
The Memphis band is made up of Joshua Crosby, Geoff Smith and Nick Redmond, and sometimes expands into a six-piece to include drummer Jeremy Stanfill, violinist Jessie Munson and accordian player Adam Woodard. But it's that core trio that is at the heart and soul of Star & Micey.
"Me and Josh grew up together and started playing music probably about 10 or 11 years ago," Smith said. "We took a hiatus in 2006, and then Josh met Nick at a singer-songwriter night."
Josh describes what Redmond did for the band: "Nick was kinda like fertilizer. Things weren't quite growing right, and then, bam."
Star & Micey was born, and since then, the band has released its debut album and traveled throughout the Southeast playing its brand of jolly music.
It sounds like pop-folk, with maybe a bit of soul, and occasionally country, but really, Star & Micey sounds like pure joy. Old-school influences drive the group's sound.
"The Beatles are always good, and you can always get something from them, anything: a good song, the sound of it, the way to play it, the way to sing it, the way to live your life," Crosby said. Smith said Otis Redding is another big influence.
Star & Micey has performed a few shows at the Blue Canoe, and has another show there this weekend. Meanwhile, they're looking at the bigger picture: The trio hopes to get to work on a second record soon.
"Right now a producer is chatting with our label to see if we can make a record with him," Crosby said. "We're closer now than we've ever been, so we're definitely trying to make that happen by the end of the year."
Til then, Star & Micey intends to spread the joy at the upcoming Tupelo gig.
Show up, Smith promises, and "Josh will give you a free hug."
Hear 'em live

"The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and beauty in the world."
F. Scott Fitzgerald, the great American authors who penned classics like 'The Great Gatsby', was one among the millions of people who have loved New York City to the core, perhaps more than their hometowns.
New York is where life meets dreams and dreams meet life. It is a city that never sleeps and yet, somehow, with a twisted twist in the fate, is always drowsy. Nobody has time here to question life. From high end boutique shops and million dollar jewelry stores to street side news vendors with a stash of vintage Coltrane vinyl discs, New York has it all.
From movies like 'Taxi Driver' and 'Gangs of New York' to 'Manhattan' and 'Midnight Cowboy', New York of all types and kinds has been etched into the texture of culture that people often love to call their Americanness. Agreed, this city is nothing like any other you will see in America, perhaps the world, but it's a city that people resort to in dreams and hopes, follies and virtues, ambitions and broken hearts – it's a city that just knows how to assimilate everyone, anyone really.
If you are planning on visiting New York City, make it a point to live in New York, rather than just hopping sight (there are plenty of those, anyway!), and you can be sure to find some unforgettable memories in busy mean streets of this hazy city.
Cheap Stays in New York
New York is a city that knows not how to say no. So, you are going to find all kinds of establishments here, from cheap hotels to luxury resorts that can only be entered into if you are a legit celebrity.
Finding accommodation shouldn't be a problem here, though, as the city holds the highest number of hotel rooms in all of North America.
For finding affordable hotels in New York, you will probably have to head down to one of the cheaper boroughs, perhaps Queens would be the best bet for you. You are guaranteed to find great hotel rooms at reasonable prices in most suburbs of Queens.
From heritage establishments like the Marcel and the Bentley, to a whole chain of Doubletree resorts by Hilton, New York offers many affordable staying options for tourists and travelers.
Flying High and Mighty
If cheap hotels don't really appeal to your senses or your idea of a perfect gateaway in New York, you can always turn your head to any of the many luxury hotels in New York.
And be sure – New York is as luxurious as it gets in America (of course, if you discount Vegas). Name a reputed chain of resorts and you are going to find at least one establishment owned and operated by them in New York.
Take the Plaza Hotel for example. Now owned by Trump Group, the Plaza Hotel has a longstanding history that features the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Truman Capote. If you need more of luxury, Hilton at Time Square can be a great pick. Not many things can beat the feeling of living smack in the center of Time Square. Other popular New York hotels in this segment include Waldorf Astoria, Ritz Carlton Central Park and Wyndham New Yorker etc.
Some Offbeat Sights in New York
Everyone is aware of famous sights to see in New York – from the Ellis Island to Time Square and from the Museum of Natural History to MoMA.
So, assuming that you are going to visit these places anyway, let's take a look at some of the understated and often ignores sights in New York.
New York Public Library boasts of the largest collection of physical information in the world. Just walking through giant corridors of its imposing building is enough to make you fall in love with it. Another attraction well worth visiting is Staten Island Ferry Trip that proves to be some respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Performing arts lovers can head in the evening to Broadway to see what the best known theater street in the world has to offer. Also, Radio City Music Hall regularly features great bands and acts.
Hotels Near New York Airport
Almost all of tourists arriving in New York use the JFK International Airport as their point of entry. Although the airport is not too far away from the city, it makes sense for tourists to look for some good New York hotels near the airport, for the sake of convenience.
If you happen to be looking for such a hotel, there are quite a few branded hotel chains operating in this area. However, these are perennially booked to the brim. So, make sure that you book well prior to your trip to avoid any last minute hassle and running around.
When Should You Head to New York?
It really depends on what you want to visit New York for.
If you are planning on visiting New York just to tick it off your checklist, then probably summer months will provide you the best deal of fun, activity and sightseeing.
If you are looking to get some romantic time off, away from the shackles of domestic life, then winter (October to December) can be a great time to visit New York. Unlike most parts of America, New York is at its busiest around Christmas. Hotel prices are manageable and of course, who wouldn't love to see the counting down ceremony in Time Square and enjoy the overall holiday ambiance in historic streets of New York?
So, the final word is that New York City is as good as it gets. Make your plans come true and enjoy the stay in New York to your fullest. It's very much possible that you will be coming back to this magical city time and time again, sooner rather than later!

I was reading Hacker News today and found an (old) article about a Polish guy who created a software called SuperMemo. This software helps you to remember anything, but I am using it to learn Chinese words and characters.
It works based on scientific research last century that people tend to forget things at different rates. In the beginning you should repeat stuff often, but later you can repeat it at larger intervals. If you later repeat too often, you would waste your time; if you don't repeat early enough, you would have forgotten it.
Supermemo costs money, but luckily there are free alternatives, the best one I've found is The Mnemosyne Project. UPDATE I have found an even better alternative called 'Anki'. It works on the same principle as Mnemosyne, but is a bit easier to use and has nice statistics builtin. When you start the program, you can "download" (via a button I think) lots of free Chinese lessons. I am currently using "Chinese characters level 1 and 2".
Chinese is very difficult to learn. Why?
Thanks to pinyin.info for this great list. Visit their site to read the detailed explanation of the list above. Sinosplice also has some great graphs about the difficulty of Chinese compared to Japanese:
So how should you go about learning Chinese?
Chinese language is hard and for official purposes you need to use a professional translator. For everyday use, you can also use some automated tools. For example at work I often receive e-mails in Chinese and then I translate those using Google Translate.
My favorite tools for translating long Chinese texts:
Google Translate : Chinese - English
I have bookmarked Google Translate at work and everytime I need to translate a large amount of Chinese, I will just copy/paste it to Google Translate and get the rough meaning of the text. It does often make silly mistakes obviously, but at least you will be able to understand it in general.
Yahoo Babelfish : Chinese - English
I used this before Google Translate was released, but in my opinion Google Translate is easier and has better translations.
To translate individual characters, I use these tools:
Nciku : Chinese - English
On this website you can draw Chinese characters and translate them. This is very useful when you for example have a photo with some Chinese characters and don't know how to type them. Instead you can just 'write' the character and get the translation.

Mr Callahan, meet Shadow. Shadow, pay your respects to Mr Callahan. I love writing these blogs. Partly because I am incredibly shy and yet am still an egotistical maniac with an overwhelming propensity to volubility. Speaking for any length of time to any number of people renders me a nervous wreck. And yet holding my tongue and not saying anything would create such a huge conflict within my already demented mind that the resulting explosion could surely provide enough power to light up Times Square in New York for at least a year. But I must say that notwithstanding the vainglorious compulsion, there is a more satisfying reason to the madness. Edification. I learn a lot by reading up on the various photographers that I feature in these ramblings. I have to admit that I was unfamiliar with most of the artists that I have talked about before embarking on this project. At times I even felt a little embarrassed at my lack of knowledge of such illustrious personalities. But, in the end, I remind myself of a lesson that I was taught by someone a lot wiser than most of the people I know. Starting out ignorant is not something to be ashamed of, staying ignorant when you have the opportunity to remedy the situation, should carry a most heavy penalty. I taught myself photography by reading books. And after learning about exposures, field of depth, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, the most important guidance that stuck to me was to study the work of painters and other photographers. Each blog in this series is an opportunity to find a new perspective on how photographs may be taken. Very recently, I stumbled across the work of one Harry Callahan. As a fan of Clint Eastwood (though the debacle at the recent Republican convention, has somewhat dimmed my ardour), I was already familiar with the name of Harry Callahan ("…you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"). But to be honest, possibly the Harry Callahan that I am referring to today is a tad more instructive to aspiring photographers. Photography is an adventure just as life is an adventure. If a man wishes to express himself photographically, he must understand, surely to a certain extent, his relationship to life. I am interested in relating the problems that affect me to some set of values that I am trying to discover and establish as being my life. I want to discover and establish them through photography.
