Stacking and Nesting Kitchen Goods
When space is at a premium in the kitchen, the ability to stack or nest items can really help. Here, we're taking a look at products large and small – from spices to furniture – that stack or nest when stored. Most of these are purely utilitarian in nature, but the last two are slightly more decorative (yet still functional) selections that we just couldn't resist:
• 1 This entire pantry is organized using Tupperware Modular Mates.
• 2 A staple: Nested Glass Mixing Bowl Set from Sur la Table
• 3 The Emeco Heritage Style Bar Stool brings classic design and small-space stackability to counter-height seating. Available from Paradigm Gallery.
• 4 This compact cookware set was made for camping by REI, but it just might work in a small indoor kitchen, too.
• 5 A stacking recycling bin set like this one at Tuwa keeps recyclables in order without taking up a bunch of space.
• 6 REKO glasses from IKEA are shaped for stacking and they're only $2 for a set of 6.
• 7 We've admired these stacking canisters before – love their rectilinear shapes and white ceramic finish. Available at Amazon.
• 8 These are always available at World Market and you can choose from a set of six mugs or espresso cups and saucers.
• 9 The material combination in the Stacking Storage Tower from Design Within Reach is beautiful. And, it's on sale right now.
• 10 By Joe Colombo in the 1970's, this set of crystal drinking glasses is like a blooming flower. The irregularly-shaped vessels are designed so that they can nest into one another, albeit in an unexpected fashion. Available from Moss.

Aust Government Expected To Confirm Date For Plebiscite
The government is expected to name February 11 next year as the date for the plebiscite on same-sex marriage.
Australians will be asked: "Do you support a change in the law to allow same-sex couples to marry?", Fairfax Media reported on Tuesday.
The Turnbull government is also reportedly leaning towards public funding for the yes and no cases of the debate.
Cabinet considered the date, question and funding on Monday night and its decision
The ABC has reported that cabinet has agreed to allocate $7.5 million in public funding each to the yes and no campaigns.
The opposition and crossbenchers presented private bills to parliament on Monday to change marriage laws.

Gooch predicts Cook's best still to come
As if the last couple of weeks have not contained enough bad news for India, Graham Gooch had a little more for them: as far as Gooch is concerned, the best of Alastair Cook is yet to come.
Cook's batting has been one of the major differences between the teams this series. In three Tests, he has contributed three centuries and his tally of runs - 548 at an average of 109.60 - is more than Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh combined.
But Gooch feels Cook, who will be 28 on Christmas Day, has not yet reached his peak and will inevitably break Gooch's own record as England's top run-scorer in Test cricket. Gooch scored 8,900 Test runs, while Cook currently has 7,103. Only Kevin Pietersen, of current England players, has more with 7,335.
"In my opinion," Gooch said, "the years between 27 to 35 are the best years for a batsman because you have honed your knowledge and you know your game. I think he's got his best years in front of him. He's got to stay fit and motivated but nothing at the moment would suggest to me that that won't happen. I hope to hang on in this job until he goes past my record."
Few know Cook as a cricketer as well as Gooch. Not only do the pair of them, as Essex and England opening batsmen and captain, have much in common, but Gooch was the batting coach at Essex as Cook was developing and now performs the same role with England. He has watched Cook at close quarters throughout his career and, while Gooch admits Cook has never been the most eye-catching player, the skills that have served him so well at the top level were apparent very early.
"Alastair was on the Essex Academy and it was pretty obvious he was going to be a good player," Gooch said. "I can't remember the first time I saw him but I do remember him keeping wicket and batting for our Board XI against Essex in a proper match."
That match was a Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy game from 2003. Cook, opening the batting and keeping wicket for Essex Cricket Board against Essex, only scored 27 in the match, but his maturity stuck in Gooch's mind.
"My early memories of him as a person were that he was very mature for his age and very balanced and considered. He went about his cricket in a methodical sort of way and you can still see that now. The priceless ability he had when he was young, and again you can see this now, is that he knows exactly what he can and can't do. He puts that in place and into practice and doesn't step outside that.
"You know the old saying? It's not how, it's how many. He knows the way to play. Often young players coming up have talent and ability to strike the ball but they don't quite know how to manage their ability. Sometimes it dawns on them later in life and sometimes it doesn't dawn on them at all but this lad had it from the beginning. He knew how he could operate.
"He applies a certain type of game in Test cricket that works. When he came into the one-day side a lot of people said he didn't have the game for it but smart players find a way. And he plays a different sort of game in one-day cricket. He's not a power player but he keeps it moving and his runs-per-balls ratio is very good. That shows the skill of the man in being able to adapt.
"He tends to get on the front foot now a bit more later in his innings and he plays a very resolute game outside off stump. He's worked very hard over the years. He practices the sweep and hitting the ball over the top and it's good to see him showing confidence in selective sweeping against the turning ball. He's had success with that and also has the confidence to use his feet and come down the wicket. He's starting to enhance his game.
"Maybe he's thinking back to the Pakistan series in 2010 when he had a bit of a nightmare and thinking 'I'm going to get every run I can now because it's working for me'. I'm in good form and I'll cash in."
Gooch is also impressed by Cook's leadership since being appointed Test captain. Not only has Cook set a record - centuries in each of his first five Tests as captain - but has led England to a 2-1 series lead in conditions in which many expected them to struggle.
"Captaincy has enhanced his run scoring already," Gooch said. "It's difficult to look into a crystal ball and say whether it will affect him down the line but all the opportunities are there for him. He's mentally strong, that's his greatest asset, and he could achieve a lot of things. There's a lot of cricket in front of him and that can affect you but I'd like to think he will go all the way. He'll certainly go past my record in the not too distant future the way it's going and good on him because he'll deserve that. He's mastered his art to a degree and is always looking to improve. If he delivers, England win matches.
"I think we've seen already in the dressing room that he's prepared to make his own decisions. He doesn't always take the coaches advice in that he wants to do it his own way. He'll make mistakes and he won't get it right every time. You have to grow into that job, the way you get the best out of people, counsel them, and make tactical decisions. All those things come into it. He's in his infancy but I don't see any reason why he won't be a good captain and leader of men."

PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria, April 15 (UPI) -- A rebel group in southern Nigeria says it will avenge the killings of Christians in northern Nigeria by the radical Islamist group Boko Haram.
The Movement for Emancipation of Niger Delta will attack mosques, Islamic institutions and some clerics in what the group called "Operation Barbarosa," the Nigerian Tribune reported Monday.
In a statement "on behalf of the hapless Christian population in Nigeria, " the movement said it would start "a crusade to save Christianity in Nigeria from annihilation."
The group said it would bomb "mosques, hajj camps, Islamic institutions, large congregations in Islamic events" and assassinate "clerics that propagate doctrines of hate."
The bombings would begin May 31, the statement said.
The campaign of violence could only be stopped, the group, known as MEND, said, if Christian religious leaders and Henry Okah, the imprisoned leader of MEND, intervened or if Boko Haram leaders issued assurances that hostilities against Christians would end.
The Joint Task Force, a Nigerian military unit that targets Boko Haram, denounced the statement, saying MEND no longer existed.
"Those attempting to christen themselves MEND today are impostors and a bundle of 'never-do-wells' who want to be accorded undue recognition at the expense of the peace currently savored in the Niger Delta," said Lt. Col. Onyema Nwachukwa, a JTF spokesman.

European Union members have voted 14-1 to institute new policies aimed at reforming the EU's four-decades-old Common Agricultural Policy. Portugal cast the only dissenting vote.
Under the new system, farmers will continue to receive the highest subsidies of any nations in the world, but the subsidies will be indexed to payments from previous years and not tied to current production levels.
The reforms are also aimed at reducing payments to larger farmers and rewarding producers who follow more environmentally friendly cropping and animal husbandry practices. More funds will be targeted at rural development projects designed to soften the impact of the reforms.
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick and Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman applauded the vote, saying it was a "necessary step forward" to insuring the Doha Round of World Trade Organization negotiations will continue to move ahead.
"The next critical step is for the EU to promptly translate today's decision into meaningful WTO proposals in the three core areas agreed to in the Doha declaration: harmonizing and substantially reducing trade-distorting domestic supports, eliminating export subsidies, and substantially improving market access through tariff reductions," said Zoellick.
"Without new EU agricultural proposals in the WTO, the world cannot fully assess the impact of CAP reform."
European Union agricultural ministers, in turn, challenged Bush administration officials to take care of their own knitting.
"There are a lot of schoolmasters who have been telling us that we have to do our homework," said Franz Fischler, the EU's chief agricultural spokesman, referring to U.S. criticism. "You should practice what you preach."
Although the negotiations represented the biggest change in EU farm policy in 40 years, critics said they fell short of the reforms needed to reduce Europe's agricultural production.
"Farmers will continue to produce more than we need and will continue to dump it on the developing world," said a spokesman for Oxfam, a British-based charitable organization that seeks to address world hunger concerns.
The talks came dangerously close to being de-railed when French President Jacques Chirac brought the negotiations to a halt because of his displeasure with the direction they were heading.
The reforms announced on June 16 allows French farmers to retain their subsidy regime until 2007 while other countries must begin to "decouple" their payments from production in 2005.
USA Rice Federation staff members said the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy includes a fundamental revamping of the EU's domestic rice support program, but that it could also lead to other problems.
"Unfortunately, the EU Agricultural Council also granted authority to the EU Commission (the administrative arm of the European Union) to open negotiations with the United States to renegotiate the margin of preference concession concerning rice," said USA Rice's Bob Cummings.
He said the EU Ag Council approved a one-step reduction of the intervention price by 50 percent, effective in 2004. The EU will also limit purchases of intervention stocks to 75,000 tons per year. The reduction in intervention payments will be offset by direct payments to farmers and supplemental payments for private storage.
"The duty on imported brown rice from the United States is tied to the intervention price as part of a complex formula," said Cummings. "Under today's reform, EU duties on brown rice could fall by over three-quarters, very god news for the U.S. rice industry.
"However, EU officials fear a substantial increase in imports from the United States, and, as a result, the EU wants to withdraw the margin of preference concession and compensate the United States."
He said rice industry leaders will stay in "close contact with U.S. trade officials to maintain the market access benefits of the margin of preference in any renegotiation.

The White House has clearly not won over Congress or the American people in its belief that the federal government should hit small businesses and job creators with higher taxes to pay for floating defunct companies such as Solyndra, for stimulus programs that have not moved the needle on unemployment, and for cutting the deficit by $3.6 trillion over the next decade.
Continue Reading Below
So, the Administration has now resorted to rebranding tax increases on job creators the Buffett Tax, in order to correct a perceived injustice, that billionaire Warren Buffett pays a lower federal tax rate than his secretary.
Trouble is, both the White House and Buffett are misleading you, because IRS data show the rich already pay more in federal taxes than the lower brackets. Which is why even Europes Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says the U.S. tax system is one of the most progressive in the world.
Buffett wrote in a recent column for the New York Times that the tax rate he paid last year was lower than that paid by any of the other 20 people in his office.
But if Buffett paid himself a millionaire's salary, and not the annual $100,000 salary he pays himself annually, then he would pay federal income taxes at the higher federal tax rate. Buffett cites a low 17.4% rate, but that's the capital gains tax rate he pays when he sells his stock or other assets.
And the federal income tax rate for that $100,000 salary level is 28%, lower than the 35% millionaires pay. If Buffett paid the highest federal tax rate, he would see that the upper brackets pay most of the federal income taxes in this country.
However, why let the facts get in the way of a re-election narrative?
President Barack Obama has said. "Middle-class families shouldn't pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires ... That's pretty straightforward. It's hard to argue against that."
The Buffett Rule says: "People making more than $1 million a year should not pay a smaller share of their income in taxes than middle-class families pay."
FOX Business news director Ray Hennessey says: Tax the rich, make them pay their fair share, and make sure that the secretaries of the world -- good proxies for teachers, firefighters and construction workers, by the by -- never find themselves paying more in taxes than Warren Buffett.
Hennessey adds: Trouble is, it is all a lie. Perhaps thats too strong a word, but, at its most charitable, it is an untruth.
Hennessey notes: To be fair, supporters of the Buffett Tax have never overtly said she (the secretary) pays more. Rather, they say she pays a higher rate, which is different. But many folks no doubt have been confused into thinking that she pays more, and she doesnt.
We are knee-deep in a policy debate around an inequity that doesnt exist in front of a Congress that wont pass it anyway. All because Warren Buffett decided to write an apocryphal story in The New York Times instead of writing a check to the IRS and clearing his conscience that way.
So lets break this down (we reported this data from the IRS to you earlier this week in Buffett's Fastball on the Buffett Tax):
*Again, Warren Buffett pays himself just $100,000 a year in salary. His 17.4% tax bill is due to the lower, long-term federal capital gains tax rate on his stake in Berkshire Hathaway, a stake valued at an estimated $38 billion. Buffett only pays taxes on that stake if he sells his shares. Since he sits on them, his tax bill is low.
*His tax rate is likely higher because company, Berkshire Hathaway, first pays corporate capital gains taxes on that stake. Factor that in, and Buffetts actual rate likely nets out in the 25%-plus range.
*The top 1% of federal taxpayers footed the bill for 38% of all federal personal income taxes, according to IRS 2008 data. The top 5% paid more than half of federal income taxes, 58.7%, and the top 10% paid 69.9%. The $50,000-$75,000 crowd will pay an average 15% of their income in federal taxes; the $40,000 to $50,000 crowd will pay an average 12.5%, says the Tax Policy Center.
*The really high earners, taxpayers with annual incomes at $10 million or more -- call them the top 0.1% of all federal income tax returns -- accounted for 4% of all taxable income in the country, had an average federal income tax rate of 26%, and paid 6% of all personal federal income taxes, according to IRS data as of 2009.
*As of 2009, the top 2% of taxpayers who make $1 million or more were responsible for a 20.5% share of personal federal income taxes, even though they accounted for just 13% of all taxable income in the U.S.. The average income-tax rate of those earning between $1 million and $10 million was 24.6% in 2009.
*As of 2009, taxpayers with adjusted gross income at $500,000 or more a year accounted for 0.5% of all federal income tax returns, earned 19% of total U.S. taxable income, but paid 29.8% of all federal personal income taxes. They had an average federal income tax rate of 24.5%.
*Taxpayers with adjusted gross income at $200,000 or more a year accounted for just 2.8% of all federal income tax returns, but footed the bill for 50.2% of all federal personal income tax revenues even though they earned a third of all taxable income in the U.S. They had an average federal income tax rate of 22.2%.
*Middle-class families, those earning between $34,000 and $50,000, paid an effective 14.3% of their income in all federal taxes in 2007, according to the Congressional Budget Office [CBO]. Those making $100,000 to $125,000 paid an effective federal rate of 9.9%.
*Nearly half of all taxpayers do not pay federal taxes, although they pay state, local and payroll taxes, depending on their bracket
*The Presidents tax increases would hit small businesses hard. At least 75% of small businesses file taxes on business income at individual rates, says the National Federation of Independent Business. Two thirds, or 65%, of joint filers with income above $250,000 and 50% of single filers above $200,000 earn business income.
*About half of those subject to the Presidents tax increases are small businesses with employees. This tax increase would directly cut job creation. Already, annual federal regulations cost the countrys small business $1.1 trillion annually, says the SBA.
*The President's new tax on the rich is a sort of new alternative minimum tax for the upper brackets. Just as the first AMT, enacted in 1969, is not indexed to inflation, it's likely that this new tax would not be either. For that reason, the old AMT is increasingly hitting the middle class. Inflation is key here -- all of the Federal Reserve's money printing creates inflation. Because the AMT bracket is not indexed, the money printing hurts taxpayers -- a flip side that shows how recklessly hurtful loose monetary policy really is.
*Tax data show that when Congress increases rates on the upper brackets, federal tax revenue from those brackets falls because the rich shelter their income.
What is really the issue for both corporations and individuals are loopholes and tax breaks that benefit people at every income level, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation. Flatten the code, get rid of the loopholes, the rich will pay more, and you wont see anomalies such as single-digit tax rates.
For example, General Electric (NYSE:GE) paid nothing in taxes last year due to write-offs associated with losses from its financial services arm; GE is a master at lowering its tax bill.
Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) paid an effective rate of 2.4%, far below the 35% statutory corporate rate for publicly traded companies. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) paid $14 million last year on its billions of dollars in revenues.

Meticulous - Custom 1949 Willy's JeepsterPosted in Project Vehicles on August 17, 2006
The bright paint scheme on Ron Schoonard's '49 Willys Jeepster is the first thing to smack you upside the head. Upon closer inspection, you realize it's a relatively uncommon early Jeepster that actually began life as a two-wheel drive (with A-arms up front!). And, finally, when you move in closer, you're overwhelmed by the attention to detail that can be found throughout the entire Jeep. From welding to wiring, Ron's Willys is impeccable. Ironically, Ron had originally planed to build a slightly less remarkable Jeep. He didn't want to attract too much attention.
When Ron was eight years old, his cousin had a '49 Jeepster, and he remembered how much fun they had tooling around in it. So the search was on for a '49. Ron actually used three rigs to build his Willys. The first basket-case '49 Ron scooped up had a '51 grille, hood, and fenders, so it was immediately apparent that he would need more body parts to get the look of the '49 Jeepster he wanted. The second '49 had the useable front clip he needed. And the third vehicle to relinquish its parts was an '87 Chevy Blazer.
Ron started by slinging the Blazer frame under the number one Willys tub and number two Willys front clip. He found that it was surprisingly easy to mate the Jeepster body to the GM frame. He needed to cut off part of the front and rear frame horns, move the rear axle forward, and weld on body mounts. The engine, tranny, and transfer case were mocked-in as well. Originally, the plan was to use the Blazer's leaf-spring suspension and steering system, but it didn't quite work out that way.
Since the rollcage was beyond Ron's expertise, he began looking for a builder who could do it right. He found James Fisher at Custom Metal Creations. After seeing the project, James recommended that they remove the leaf springs and replace them with front and rear three-link suspensions, complete with coilovers and nitrogen bumpstops, as well as install the rollcage. Shortly after Ron finished the replacement of the rusty body panels, the Jeepster was pushed into James' shop in Riverside, California, where he built the rollcage, suspension, tranny girdle, trans cooler mount with skidplate, steering column, seat mounts, tube bumpers, gas tank skidplate, and so on. He also replaced the front portion of the frame (forward of the motor mounts) with DOM tubing. Out back, a 20-gallon Fuel Safe fuel cell was stuffed under the floor. Up front, a double-ended Howe full-hydraulic steering ram was used to direct the Jeepster.
Once the sparks settled, the Jeepster was sitting on a 104-inch wheelbase, four Fox 2 1/2-inch piggy back pro series coilover shocks with dual-rate springs, and Fox nitrogen bumpstops all around. James, being a machinist as well as fabricator, whittled out a one-piece billet aluminum brake pedal, shift knobs, and other trick knick-knacks.
The Jeepster then found its way back into Ron's garage so he could run the wiring and plumbing. He also had to figure out how to get a big enough radiator behind the grille.
Obviously, Ron wanted a little more oomph than what the original Jeepster engine produced, so he made a call to Turnkey Engine Supply in Oceanside, California, and picked up one of the company's all-aluminum GM LS1 V-8s. Over-the-framerail headers were custom made by Richard's Performance Mufflers in Vista, California, and dual 2 1/2-inch exhausts from Vista Muffler & Auto send the spent gases to the rear of the Jeep.
The engine is mated to the GM 700-R4 four-speed automatic that came from the Blazer. However, it was sent to Mogi Transmission in Riverside, California, for a heavy-duty rebuild and a few upgrades. The power is split through an Advance Adapters Atlas II transfer case with a 3.8:1 low-range and Inland Empire Driveline driveshafts. The front axle is the Dana 44 from the '87 Blazer. It's stuffed with 4.56 gears and a Detroit Truetrac limited slip. The Currie Ford 9-inch prerunner rearend sports 35-spline axles, 4.56 gears, a Detroit Locker, and Ford Explorer disk brakes, complete with a working emergency brake that is activated via Lokar cables and a trick adjustable lever pirated from a forklift.

Ron started with a really rough Jeepster tub and spent quite a bit of time cutting out rust, installing new panels, and learning how to weld sheetmetal. The rear wheelwells were opened up a bit to allow the tires to stuff fully without rubbing, and the firewall and floor received much attention to better fit the new drivetrain. Up front, Ron extended the bottom of the '49 grille about 4 inches to allow the fitment of a larger radiator.
Ron found out the hard way that much of his bodywork had to be redone (doors wouldn't shut properly). Paul Pitzonka from Performance by Paul in Riverside, California, took care of the final bodywork and alignment. Tory Franks from Pinstripe by Tory took care of the graphics, marbleized rollcage and bumpers, and other detail paint work. Both Paul and Tory worked together to come up with the paint design, color selections, and multiple masking and back masking.
With the paint done, Ron sourced friends, junkyards, and The Jeepster Man in Howell, New Jersey, for windshield and wind-wing rubber, taillights, latches, springs, handles, and other miscellaneous trim parts. The original Willys trim pieces are made from stainless steel, so they polished easily.
Inside is where you really notice the attention to detail in Ron's Jeepster. The paint theme continues here, and one-off billet parts grab your attention as much as the modified and airbrushed dash. For seating, Ron installed two MasterCraft Pro 4 seats with removable headrests and a MasterCraft bench seat for rear occupants. He also did his own upholstery work using black and gray carpet that can be easily removed for cleaning. Since Ron is a semi-retired electrical contractor, he spent some extra time on the wiring -- the easiest part, he says. The switches, turn signals, high beams, emergency brake, and transfer case levers have LED status lamps in the dash. A Momo steering wheel directs the Jeepster and features right and left tabs to activate the self-canceling turn signals. Auto Meter gauges let Ron keep an eye on what the Jeepster is doing under the hood, and an Art Car gated shifter lets him pick the gears. Oh, and of course, the marbleized DOM cage protects the occupants in the event of a roll.
WHEEL and TIRES
Ron built the Jeep around the 35x12.50R15 BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tires. They tuck up perfectly into the carefully trimmed rear fenders. The wheels are 15x8 aluminum Ultra Type 164s. They were sent to OMF to have real bead locks installed. OMF Domes give the wheels a unique look.
Ron learned that he should have supported the tub better before welding in the new replacement panels. With this bit of experience under his belt, he recommends starting with a clean tub. Ron is currently having a factory-looking soft top made for the Jeepster and is installing a stereo. The full-hydraulic steering was a little twitchy at first and took some time for Ron to get used to. Changing the spring rate helped make it more predictable. Ron plans to change the shock valving and add a rear sway bar to improve the handling even more. This will also help him achieve the smoothest ride possible over the desert roads and trails which he frequents in Ocotillo Wells and Anza Borrego, California. Other possible changes include the addition of a selectable front locker and possibly slightly less gearing (3.0:1) in the transfer case.
Ron's Jeepster reminded us of a meticulously clean hot rod at a car show, and it's no coincidence that Ron used to own a hot rod. The attention to detail is unbelievable. The fact that it can really scoot down desert whoops and washes all day long without beating the snot out of your body is a real bonus. The chassis is perfectly rigid, thanks to the well-built cage that makes the Jeepster squeak and rattle free. Ron figures the value of his Jeep is $55,000 if you include his own labor at $1 an hour. Whatever the cost, Ron's Willys is clean, tight, fast, and probably more of an attention-getter than Ron had originally planned. But we doubt you'll hear him complaining. At only $1 per hour, we're thinking we might just have Ron build us a Jeepster.

Chris Evans fans should not expect to see their hunk on the big screen as anyone other than Captain America in the foreseeable future, because the actor says he's pretty much quitting his day job.
Why? Well, as they say, what he really wants to do is direct.
"I've known for a while ... ," the 32-year-old actor told Variety. "But [time] never really opens up. There's another movie to do, there's another acting job. It just got to a point where I was like, you know what — I have to do this."

because Harvard business review is a bit general. For example, if you're in the medical and analytical instrumentation market you buy similar publications from SRI for $1800± per year, and they have lots of subscribers drinking in the market segment $ data.
I generally agree with Richard in principal, but disagree with some specifics.
Today, if you generate information, the only way to sustainably raise interest and revenue is give it away and advertise you're giving it away and get others to trumpet and defend that you're giving it away.
The model of holding information private, for ransom, to investigate, is the old model held onto by dusty old grey hairs. The world at large will just pass you by, forget you, as they look into and reference the free stuff.
Now then, there is the case to sell information in specific examples. The fact is large corporations buy information including common sense. Take any Big Inc.: 3M, Apple, IBM, GE, Siemens, Hyundai, they are not going to go after free technical and market information, exceptions for contributory industry specific consortia, when they have billions dependant on decisions based on it. These Big Inc. will buy studies, publications and the private consultants who come in and explain, adapt and implement. The auctioneers hyperbole applies "The more you spend the more you like it".
I would see a perfectly acceptable application of IDSA and similar developing specific business case studies, making them available at nominal cost to members and friends, and premium selling to Big Inc., perhaps with some addendum such as private accounting numbers. However today even this is anachronistic business model.
As said, new ideas require new techniques.

This is a great soundtrack for Dystopia and Post-Apocalyptic genres dealing with the end of civilization and existential catastrophes such as nuclear warfare, pandemic disease, extraterrestrial attack, cybernetic revolt, technological singularity, dysgenics, supernatural phenomena, climate change, resource depletion, zombies or some other general disaster.
This track was originally created for a documentary dealing with environmental problems: pollution, excessive industrialization, destruction of forests and wildlife. This soundtrack has influences of glitch, dubstep, industrial and hard rock. The mood is uneasy, tense and alarmed. It can be used in games and videos dealing with action, terror, destruction, violence and distress.

- Throaty sound and stylish appearance
- Easy bolt-on installation
- Backed by a lifetime warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
CGS is dedicated to helping you get the most from your vehicle so you can use its full potential. To that end, CGS makes products like this Cat-Back Exhaust System that help your engine "breathe" better.
The heart of the system is a high flow 100% all welded stainless steel muffler. All the muffler seams are fully welded and it features internal baffles, so there's no packing or wadding to wear out. The muffler's internal construction allows increased exhaust flow while delivering a powerful, throaty exhaust note, which sounds great outside but is unobtrusive inside the cab. The muffler's shell is embossed with the CGS logo.
The exhaust pipes are made from large diameter aluminized or stainless steel mandrel-bent tubing. The shape and diameter of the exhaust tubing is optimized for volume and exhaust gas velocity. CGS mandrel bends the tubing for smooth bends and to make sure the pipe maintains its size and shape throughout the entire length. Tubes that aren't mandrel bent can lose a percentage of their diameter in sharp bends. The finishing touch on this system is the T-304 stainless steel exhaust tip. The tip is highly polished for a great appearance, and the clampless design makes it a snap to install.
The cumulative result is a cat-back exhaust system that outflows, and sounds and looks better than your stock system. In fact, CGS guarantees that this system will outlast and outperform any other cat-back exhaust system on the market. The horsepower and torque gains from the CGS Cat-Back system are verified by testing on a Mustang dynamometer. These power gains result in improved performance you can feel and increased fuel mileage at cruise.
CGS® Motorsports has been in aftermarket automotive business since 1995, with the "Breathe" products, serving high quality products for trucks and SUV motors. All of the products are designed and developed to provide both performance increase and economy improvement, which seems to contradict one another at first. Among the most popular products are the intake and cat-back exhaust systems, that really let the engine take a deep breath. CGS motto says: LET IT BREATHE.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - Officials have confirmed that the 102-year-old carousel at Rye Playland will be closed for the year after it was damaged by a fire last weekend.
Dozens of riders had to be evacuated from the popular carousel when a fire sparked at approximately 4:15 p.m. on Sunday, July 9 at Playland, prompting firefighters from several municipalities to respond to the scene.
The carousel suffered water damage, as well as damage to the roof and other components; however, it is believed that the ride can be fixed. None of the horses were damaged by the fire.
The fire was reportedly caused by an electrical issue.
No injuries were reported. Playland stayed open during the incident. The ride remains closed, but will be re-opened after it is repaired following this season. It is not immediately clear when the carousel will once again be open to riders. The carousel has been a mainstay in Westchester since 1928.

Hear a concert live Friday at 12noon ET from WXPN and NPR Music
Broadcast live Fridays from the stage at World Cafe Live
Listen to the Concert Live Friday on the Radio and Online at XPN.org/listen.
An Acoustic Session with Frightened Rabbit
Frightened Rabbit is in town supporting Death Cab for Cutie, and plays the Mann Music Center on Friday night at 7:30pm - opening for Death Cab for Cutie. They will be here for a live "Free At Noon" show Friday, August 5.
Since their formation in 2004, Scottish indie rockers Frightened Rabbit have been lauded for their folk-tinged introspection. Their breakthrough album, "Midnight Organ Fight," launched the band into international acclaim. Led by singer/guitarist Scott Hutchison, Frightened Rabbit recently released "The Winter of Mixed Drinks" to critical acclaim. A grand, sweeping album, "The Winter of Mixed Drinks" finds Frightened Rabbit adding an uplifting, optimistic tone to their music that was previously not to be found. This works well for Frightened Rabbit too; their music sounds urgent and
important, while still being very soulful and emotive. Featuring intelligent wordplay, densely layered guitars, and fervent choruses, the album's themes of liberation and escape are highlighted throughout. Complete with smooth, slick production, "The Winter of Mixed Drinks" serves as a sort of bridge for these Scottish musicians from their more lo-fi, folk roots. Thanks to many years spent honing and polishing their sound, Frightened Rabbit have created an impressive, complex album worthy of all its hype.
"The Winter of Mixed Drinks" has done very well since its release, charting very high on the US and UK Independent Albums. Critics are not holding back the praise either, first calling it a contender for the Best of 2010 and often noting the 'sharp' songwriting. As best put by Dave Simpson from The Guardian, "...most of their songs – with themes of escape, freedom and reinvention – have huge impassioned choruses that are made to be shouted from the nearest available mountain." Their live performances are just as passionate.
Currently, Frightened Rabbit is touring the US, headlining as well as sharing the stage with names as big as Death Cab for Cutie. Don't miss them this Friday as the light up the stage at World Cafe--it's the Free at Noon, Scottish style! There can't be a better way to start the weekend.

A last-minute baby sitter, a much-needed shovel or a possible ne'er-do-well may be just around the corner, and increasingly people are finding out about these things without venturing outdoors. Instead, they're hearing of them via online neighborhood networks.
Only 43 percent of Americans say they know either all or most of their neighbors, and as many as 28 percent of us have difficulty naming even one person on the block, according to data compiled by the Pew Research Center in 2009 and published in 2010. Cities across the country are looking for ways to boost neighborly interaction, and many have turned to the hyperlocal social networking site Nextdoor.
The San Francisco-based company has grown to serve upward of 28,000 neighborhoods since its 2011 debut. Now St. Louis Park joins Roseville and Edina as the third city in Minnesota to partner with the company.
"We've tried to focus a lot of our communication strategies to reach people wherever they're at," said St. Louis Park spokesman Jamie Zwilling of his city's decision to sign on to Nextdoor's city program. Zwilling said online platforms like neighborhood websites, Facebook and Nextdoor came up in crowdsourcing about city-resident communications.
"I think that this service is really good for connecting people with information about what is going on around them," said Kariann Gottesman, who joined St. Louis Park's online Fernhill neighborhood a few months ago.
The idea behind Nextdoor is to revitalize neighborhoods with a sense of community, said Nextdoor co-founder Sarah Leary. "I walked out my front door in San Francisco and knew one person on my street," she said. "It was out of sync with what should be happening." The website acts as a hub for neighbors to sell a couch, share a recipe or banter over local issues.
Already, many people receive text or e-mail alerts from their cities about nearby crime, but Nextdoor offers a greater depth of communication — one that is interactive instead of just informative.
"This is so much nicer. It's more far-reaching," said Nancy Bush, a member of Edina's Morningside neighborhood. Before accepting a friend's invitation to Nextdoor about a year ago, Bush had acted as neighborhood liaison, compiling contact information and e-mailing her neighbors with block-party invites and occasionally a more onerous alert about suspected crime.
Edina joined Nextdoor's city program last October, following a move by Roseville, which in April 2012 became the first city in the state to turn to social networking as a way to improve communication at the neighborhood level.
St. Louis Park now has 28 of 37 neighborhoods engaged in online networking after the city partnered with Nextdoor last month, according to Jennifer Burke, a Nextdoor representative. The metro area is home to about 700 neighborhoods that Nextdoor could serve, Burke said.
Part of the allure is that Nextdoor websites, which are free to use for both residents and cities, also are intensely secure and private, and the company does not share users' information with third parties — neighborhood websites are even bereft of advertising. Residents signing up with Nextdoor must verify their addresses with the company in order to enter the password-secured network. Only members of the neighborhood network can view postings; even cities, despite partnering with the company, can only see information that members post in response to a city's own messages.
'An icebreaker'
While civic issues, crime and safety take up a combined 42 percent of conversations on Nextdoor's websites, neighborhood commerce comprises 40 percent of all discussions, including asking for recommendations or buying and selling things, according to numbers provided by Nextdoor.
This market may open the door for an index of local businesses as part of the site, Leary said. This would offer a way for Nextdoor to engage small businesses and elicit a new revenue stream as the company moves beyond venture capital funding.
"The neighborhood is the original social network," Leary said, adding that Nextdoor, unlike networking behemoths Facebook and Twitter, "is a place where people understand that the context is around local issues important to them."
"Nextdoor really serves as an icebreaker and a modern way to get the conversation going," Leary said.
St. Louis Park said its primary aim in signing with Nextdoor was not so much to push neighbors to communicate with each other offline, but instead to better reach the population and to complement existing communication tools.
"We try and let our neighborhoods grow and manage themselves as organically as possible," St. Louis Park's Zwilling said. "We see our role, in the city, as a way to point people to different tools."
Even if things don't change on the ground, people may still benefit from online neighborhood networking. In neighborhoods that already maintain networking sites or neighborhood-specific blogs, people who don't know any of their neighbors are, surprisingly, just as likely to engage in online interaction with them as are their more garrulous counterparts who personally know most or all of their neighbors, according to the Pew Center's survey.
Gottesman said she hasn't yet seen any evidence of Nextdoor's effects popping up offline, though she also said that temperatures hardly hovering above zero may be countering any positive impact. Spring and summer may bring a different story.

Flaming June is off the needles and on me! Already, I know that I am going to wear this over, and over, and over again. The only problem is that it's so distinctive that people are going to notice when I wear the same cardigan 5 days in a row. Maybe I should knit another one in black and green?
The boy's beer hobby has been upsized from 1-gallon batches to 5-gallon batches. Before he could take up space in the house for a 5-gallon set up, he had to prove that this wasn't just a passing whim. I should know better than to challenge him, because since January, he's made 14 1-gallon batches of beer. My waistline can only take 1 beer every other day, so this has been a challenge! Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly, the time it takes to brew 5 gallons is not significantly more time than it takes to brew 1 gallon. Besides the dog-sized pot, we didn't need to buy anything more thanks to his brother who used to brew beer back in the day. Score! I sent out some feelers and got connected with some chicken wranglers, so I won't have to feed our bloated compost bin and red wrigglers any more spent grain (and hopefully I'll get some eggs in the process).
Orange and red have been my theme colors for the past few months. More proof is this little ditty I knit up for a friend's baby. I've also been making red and gold beet salads, and eating blood oranges with tangerines. Next, I'll be making superhero capes for the cats.
