The owners of an award-winning guest house in St Ives have launched their newest venture, in the form of a luxury apartment designed to target the longer-stay guest.
Sands Studio is the latest project by Angela and Olivier Noverraz, owners of the award-winning Trevose Harbour House.
The luxury St Ives' apartment is being marketed as a 'stylish seaside retreat, ideal for couples looking for a relaxing getaway', and will open in April 2016.
The space has been completely redesigned by the seasoned hoteliers, as Angela and Olivier worked to create the right balance between the privacy of a home and the décor of a five-star hotel.
The apartment comes with a fully-equipped kitchen, shower room, and a private balcony.
The duo opened their first venture Trevose Harbour House in 2013, after spending two years restoring the property and creating six boutique bedrooms.
Sands Studio has been designed to complement its sister property, and guests will be able to enjoy breakfast at Trevose Harbour House as part of their stay.
Guests will also be able to take advantage of the concierge service available, who will be on hand to arrange picnic hampers, fridge stocking and restaurant reservations.

Sea Bella Defining Gel has changed how I look at styling my hair. This is no small task, as I'm not a woman who shirks away from styling. I've had every cut could you possibly imagine, and tried nigh on every product you can think of. I've rocked hardcore spiked mohawks and curled soft, flowing tresses. I know my product, and I know what it can and can't do for all different types of hair. There have been thousands of products on the market that promise an all in one solution. I've bought them, tried them and was always left wanting. Second only to mascara companies, hair product advertisers are the biggest of the big fat liars.
Until today.
I'm astounded at what this did for me. To be fair, I haven't bothered much with actual hair gels for some time, always having been disappointed in every product I've ever tried. Nothing ever managed frizz like it promised. But, ever the optimist, I tried again. Here's what happened.
To style, I washed my hair as normal and towel dried and left it down. I did not even brush my hair. Once it dried to the point of being damp (as opposed to dripping wet) I scrunched in this product, starting at the back and working my way forward. I fingered out any larger snarls and clumps.
To really put this product through the paces, I sat outside to let it finish drying. Here on the island it was in the 90's, with 80% humidity. Normally, I'd frizz out like a sad poodle and have an unruly, tangled mess. I mean, really! Can you imagine? Just… don't brush your hair, and go let it air dry outside in that humidity?? I was expecting the worst. Here's what I got:
I just can't believe it. I have struggled with crazy thick, nearly unmanageable hair all of my life. It frizzes at the mere mention of rain. But this is what I got after using this product! As my hair has not been cut since mid April, I've got damaged ends. With at least one round of bleach on top of the damage, frizz is a foregone conclusion. I just don't know what to say. It's as though physics stopped working on my front porch.
I'm sold for life.
(Wanna try it? It's not available for regular, retail sale. I don't sell the product, but I am a member of the company that does, and can happily help you out. Think of it like Costco, but online, cheaper and with FAR BETTER products. Hit me up if you want to know more.)
Unfrizzy Kisses!


text: The US Supreme Court this week upheld the search of a Kentucky man's apartment after police broke in without a search warrant because they said they smelled burning marijuana and heard sounds suggesting he was trying to destroy the evidence. The decision in Kentucky v. King overturned a Kentucky Supreme Court ruling in favor of the apartment resident, Hollis King, who was arrested after police entered his apartment and found drugs. Fourth Amendment doctrine holds that police must obtain a search warrant to search a residence unless there are "exigent circumstances." In the current case, the exigent circumstance was that, after they knocked on the apartment door, they heard noises they said suggested evidence was being destroyed. The Kentucky Supreme Court had held that police could not use the exigent circumstances exception because they themselves had created the exigent circumstance by knocking on the door. The US Supreme Court came to a different conclusion. In the past, the court has said police usually may not enter a home unless they have a search warrant or the permission of the owner. As Justice Alito states, "The 4th Amendment has drawn a firm line at the entrance to the house." Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion for the 8-1 majority, stating that people have no obligation to answer the door when police knock or to allow them to come in if they have opened the door. In such cases, police would have to persuade a judge to issue a search warrant. Although Justice Alito wrote this, the warrantless search was upheld. According to police, the residents started scuttling around suspiciously upon hearing police announce their presence. "Occupants who choose not to stand on their constitutional rights but instead elect to attempt to destroy evidence have only themselves to blame," Alito wrote. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented, arguing that in ruling for the police, the court was giving them a way to get around the search warrant requirement in drug cases. "Police officers may now knock, listen, then break the door down, never mind that they had ample time to obtain a warrant," she wrote. In this case King was not the target of police. Lexington police had set up a controlled drug buy on the street outside the apartment building, but when they attempted to arrest the suspect, he fled into the building. When police arrived in the hallway, the suspect had vanished, and all police saw was two apartment doors. When they smelled the odor of pot coming from King's apartment, they chose that door. The original suspect was in the other apartment and was later arrested. The ruling was not a final loss for King. The justices said the Kentucky state court should consider again whether the police faced an emergency situation in this case. Ginsburg, however, said the court's approach "arms the police with a way routinely to dishonor the 4th Amendment's warrant requirement in drug cases." She said the police did not face a "genuine emergency" and should not have been allowed to enter the apartment without a warrant. If you have been arrested in Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky, contact Michael Bouldin at [email protected] or 859-581-6453 (581-MIKE). You should know your rights and potential defenses to criminal charges.

In England say they want to tie him in 2013.
Roman Abramovich will not desist in their attempt to sign Pep Guardiola after rejecting it, according to confirmed sources of Stamford Bridge in the English press, a super-offer to take charge of Chelsea next season, Abramovich will eager load tie Pep 2013-14 campaign.
Various British media insisted yesterday that the billionaire owner of the brand new club champion Champions Guardiola not only offer a salary up to its cache, but also complete control over the parcel sports, including high and low, the cantera and the fitness.
Abramovich is also aware that Pep is the object of desire of other teams, so it aims to formulate a proposal from his point of view irrechazable. It also noted that Silvio Berlusconi, for his part owner of Milan, has been suggested that the technician will wait until 2013 or 2014 Santpedor if this hypothetical increase the chance that Pep could call at San Siro.
Inter, Manchester City, Manchester United and the Federation of Qatar sought the availability of Pep or yearn for the best coach in the history of Barça, who has reiterated that it will take a sabbatical.
Everything indicates that Roberto di Matteo renewed this week as coach of Chelsea, who have also spoken to Harry Redknapp (Tottenham), but we must be attentive to the duration of the contract chosen. In any case Abramovich also includes Pep Guardiola offer the post of technical director in his new offensive.
"Do not stop until taking the services of Pep" they say in England. (via MD)

This charming pair of mid century modern art glass candle holders were produced in Denmark by Dansk. Each one has an hourglass shape with a 1 1/2" diameter in the center. I think they would look best with a spherical or pillar candle sitting atop the inner rim. They can also be used as a small vase, or stacked for a dramatic home decor effect.
Each one measures 2 1/2" in height and 2 7/8" in diameter.
They are in very good condition with no chips or cracks.
At time of listing I have two pairs available. I'm happy to combine shipping costs and refund the extra if you should wish to purchase both pairs.

Hamilton Police Chief De Caire under fire for murder email
City councillors are rattled by an email distributed by Hamilton police Chief Glenn De Caire that seems to endorse the idea the black community needs to stop blaming police for its problems.
"I'm very concerned," said Coun. Matthew Green. "Does the Chief not understand how that … might create a culture of us-versus-them when it comes to community relationships?
De Caire sent the email to police members Aug. 13, the day after Shariek Douse, a black teenager, was gunned down in the parking lot of a MacNab Street North public housing complex.
It consists of a note from an unidentified resident thanking police for their work on the case and featuring the provocative sentence: "I also wanted to say that I believe it is time for these black kids to stop blaming the police for the problems and take responsibility for the actions of the youth."
In forwarding the message to police members De Caire appended his own signed note congratulating the officers who responded to the homicide and encouraging them to keep up the good work.
Green, Hamilton's first black council member, argues that by distributing the letter unedited or without cautionary comment, De Caire is giving his stamp of approval to the view that blacks need to stop blaming their problems on police.
Well ya know, maybe there's something to that whole blame thing?

Cut Risk Using Vertical Option Spreads
11/23/2011 11:10 am EST
Focus: OPTIONS
Carolyn Boroden believes the vertical option spread is a go-to strategy for limiting risk, and especially in volatile markets, the limited profit potential is a worthwhile tradeoff.
Option traders can get very sophisticated with the strategies they use, but it doesn't have to be that way. One strategy that you can use is a vertical spread, and our guest today is Carolyn Boroden to talk about how she uses them.
So Carolyn, you've recently switched to using options instead of the underlying itself to trade. Talk about why you like vertical spreads.
Well there are some times where the price of the outright puts or calls is rather high, and personally, I don't want to risk that much on the trade, so the way that you can create a lower-risk set-up is by doing a vertical spread.
So for example, you might buy the closer put and then sell the further put, and that will basically tighten up your risk. You won't be risking nearly as much if you do that.
You do also limit the profits. If you just did a put or a call by itself, you have unlimited potential, but if you don't like the risk, you should look at some vertical spreads.
And do you recommend or like doing this in times of volatility because it limits your risk?
Yes, absolutely, and especially in some of the high-flying stocks.
Give us an example of one of the stocks or ETFs you've used a vertical spread on recently.
Apple (AAPL) is one of them. Now that's been one that seems to be bulletproof, but every time you get a nice healthy correction, I like to go in and look at that one because if we do have higher targets, then I would expect the move to resolve itself to the upside.
So for example, there was a recent set-up where I bought a 390/395 call spread.
How did that work out?
It worked out nicely. I didn't stay for the whole run because I wasn't willing to take something over the weekend, but I did get some money out of it.
How long are you typically in the trade?
That one I believe was only two or three trading days.
And that's pretty typical?
How about time decay? Do you worry about that, or do you try to have options that you're going to have some time for the trade to work out, or is two or three days not enough time to even worry about that?
Yeah, I typically try and find something that has anywhere from 15 to 30 days left in it.
The only time that I would use an option that was going to expire soon is if they're relatively low priced and I expect the move to occur within the next day or so with that particular signal.
Then it's worth using them, but otherwise, for some of the longer-term views where I might want to keep something longer, I try and go out further.
Now a lot of traders get into the "Greeks," the Gammas and Deltas, etc. Do you concern yourself with that too much?
Not too much. I actually am a new student in this area, so I'm learning a bit about the Deltas and the time value and all that, but I don't' get too involved in it. I just stick with the basics. What my price projections are and as far as what my targets are.
See related: Know Your Option "Greeks"
I will take a peak at the implied volatility because I know that's something I should definitely look at, but otherwise, not too much.
Why the switch? Why did you switch to options?
Well, I started a new update on stocks and ETFs and I noticed that my stock set-ups were really working out very well. I had another partner in the business that was using options and thinkorswim, so what I did was download the package, tested it with fake money, and then I just funded the account. It just been a great tool.

Jurassic World the Game Economy and Resource Guide
Are you new to the game of Jurassic World and keep on getting stuck? Are you low on money and DNA all the time and cannot beat further battle stages? If you have any of those problems, this ultimate strategy guide will likely solve your problems with Jurassic World the game. We will go over some strategies, tips and tricks to help you with the game.
Please note that this guide is written for beginner to intermediate "Free" players. You can probably bypass quite a bit of our tips if you simply pay money into the game. However, we will however include some paying player strategy if you do have alot of disposable income.
If you are looking to spend a little money the game, the best bet is usually to grab Super Rare or Legendary packs when they are on sale, especially near the beginning of the game. Then use that edge to help you earn additional DNA's and packs with early game player duels. The rest of the guide will mainly feature strategies that are applicable to free to play players.
Be Patient
First off, if you want to be a free player who collects everything including buildings and Jurassic World dinosaur in the game, the key is to be patient and wait for the various resources to come in. You will not be able to build your Rome of Jurassic in one day. It will be a long term game where you will have to fight through various players, special events, and tons of waiting to accomplish your goals.
Collect Those Free Packs and Other "Free" Stuff
1. Free Packs are basically the "free" way for you to advance through the game. Without being diligent to collect free packs whenever they are available, you will be missing out on timed quests, DNA, and free dinosaurs. You can collect Jurassic World free packs once every 6 hours, so keep your phone handy at all times to collect those.
2. Free "DNA"
Always collect free DNA by watching an advertisement video whenever you can. Even though you only get 3 DNA per video watched, they really add up. Just get the video going whenever you are watching TV or when you have some free time. The free DNA's are what will push you through the game with those extra dinosaurs for evolution.
3. Free "Dino" Bucks
Like DNA, get free dino bucks whenever you can, however Dino Bucks is less useful in Jurassic World the Game. However, you can always use Dino Bucks as your entry tickets into player duel. Never use the Dino Bucks for speeding things up or buying other resources, unless you really really have to.
Managing Food, Gold Coins and Economy in Jurassic World
Food and gold coins are two basic resources in the game of Jurassic World. You need food to level up your dinosaurs, and you need gold coins to produce food. So you will need to manage both of the resources well to advance smoothly in the game.
1. You should always keep your food production building working at all times
You should typically only have the minimum attempt of "activation" to save gold. Additional activation times increase the cost of food per gold produced. But if you plan to be away from your phone for longer period of time, go ahead and activate all the timers to get maximum food gain.
2. Upgrade Your Food Production Whenever Possible
Always upgrade your food production to the max since that is the best way to keep up the leveling of your dinosaurs.
3. Save Your Gold and Food
Saving a healthy amount of Food and gold coins is essential, especially when you receive timed quests, this way you can complete them easily to receive additional Dino Cash. It can help if you actually "stop" expanding for a few days and simply build up your stash of Food and Gold.
4. Take Advantage of Lower Level Gold Buildings
The hardest part in the beginning of the game is Gold management. You need gold to make food and expand. During early game, Security Office and Jungle Bean Coffee Shop is your best friend. Build maybe 10~20 of those buildings and play diligent for an hour or so. Then you will have all the gold you need to expand and advance into much better income generating buildings later.
5. Use Gold Boosting Buildings on Long Term Dino
As you move through the game, gold boosting buildings will start to have much bigger impact. Use those to surround your best producing dinosaur for better income.
6. Park Expansion is Always a Priority
Always expand your park whenever you level up. The reason is that you can stack even more gold producing buildings to further your Jurassic World park's economy.
7. Avoid "MAXING" All Jurassic World Dinos
Only invest your food and DNA on the dinos that you will be using to fight in Arena. If you are looking for gold, building gold production buildings is way better choice then trying to max level your dinosaurs. There are several reasons for this.
First many quests require you to "spend" certain amount of food within a time frame, you actually want to have non-max dinos to spend those food on. Second many quests require you to level up or feed dinos, you also want to have non-maxed dinosaurs to complete these types of mission quests. Many players get "stuck" simply because they have to wait for DNA's to get additional dinosaurs for their quests.
Saving Your DNA from Day 1
DNA in essence is equal to your dinosaurs. No DNA, no dinosaurs, and you will fail the game's Battle Arena stages due to lack of level and evolution stats.
However, you should NOT start going DNA shopping happy and buy all the dinosaurs and evolve them. Save your DNA instead and only buy to evolve your Jurassic World dinos when you are stuck with the story or battle arena stages.
As you move through the game, you unlock additional dinosaurs which can cost alot of DNA's. And chances are that these "new" dinosaur units will be much stronger than your old ones. Since you would NOT use your old dinosaurs in your later battles, you should not invest the precious DNA points on them.
Picking Your Jurassic World the Game Dinosaur Team
After we talk about saving your DNA points, now we will move on to actually picking and choosing which ones to invest for the long term. A first simple rule of thumb is that you should NEVER evolve your dinosaurs unless you have to.
Secondly, you want to pick on dinosaurs with good stats. Dinos that can help you win arena fights are good dinos. Now we will go through how to decide which ones to invest on during early game. Use Dinosaurs reference list as some guidelines to help you figure out their stats. You can always ignore this advice and just level them up at will, however you will find out that you waste a lot of resources in terms of food and time for little results.
Your first dino choice should be a dino with good HP and decent ATTACK.
Your second dino choice should be a dino with good ATTACK with decent HP.
Your last dino choice should be a dino with best Attack possible.
As you move through further in game, gradually "replace" better dinos with one of the slot in your team. Never try to replace all three at the same time. These dinosaurs have different roles in your arena and player duel fights.
You can also consider refer to the Battle Arena Stage list as a guide line as to which dino "type" to invest in first.
Playing on Weekends or Any Special Events
Always keep a tab on the weekend event packs or any other special events. The stages are usually tailored based on your current game level. Playing and beat those special events to get additional card packs is key to beating later levels.
How to Play and Win Player Duels
You want to play and start winning player duels at an early level, the chances are that you will be matched with much weaker players compared to higher level. The players that you are matched with typically have similar dinosaur strengths as you based on the player level.
Use proper Battle Arena strategies in another guide to help you win. By winning player duels consistently, you will earn valuable DNA and dinosaur packs. Below are some additional tips that are outside of typical sound Battle strategies.
1. Level Camp: It may be a good idea to level camp your entire Jurassic World the game dinosaur park in early stages. You can max level your dinosaur to get an leveling advantage over your enemies. And only start to advance through the story when you start to run low on the dino bucks.
2. Max Level Your Dinos: Always enter player duel with at least maxed leveled dinosaurs. By doing so will give you an automatic edge over players that do not.

Back to back this week-end I went to bed almost at dawn. Thankfully it was a long week-end, I was able to catch up with my sleep today. A friend of mine had asked me to host his wedding reception as the Master of Ceremonies and I said yes. It was this week-end and we all had fun. At the wedding I met people that I haven't seen in over ten years. It was so great.
Last Friday, my friend Emmanuel Lopez a.k.a Motivatorman came to visit me at my place. It was for work, but he also wanted to see our daughter (now she is what people want to see...Am I jealous of her? Lol). Then we decided to have a walk at the park. We sat there for almost an hour talking about different subjects, including our favorite one: Movies. It's funny how two people can watch the same movie and each gets a complete different perspective.
The movie that came into the discussion was Kevin Costner's "Field of Dreams". It is a fantastic movie about an Iowa corn farmer (Costner), hearing voices, interprets them as a command to build a baseball diamond in his fields. The voices were saying "If you build it, he will come". Against common wisdom, he decided to destroy a big part of his farm, sacrificing his corn, to build a baseball field. People thought he was crazy, his wife Annie, was skeptical, but she allowed him to plow under his corn to build the field.
For a while nothing happened, and He soon faced financial ruin (by this time, I know that you want to hear the full story. Don't you?).
It is a must see movie. That is all I can say.
For me, the movie is a great metaphor. Most of the times we hear "voices" in our heart to follow our dreams, but we decide not to listen to them. They seem to be illogical, they are against common sense, and above all, they are way outside of our comfort zone. What if I fail? What would other people say? Those are common questions that we ask ourselves.
Some others decide to do something about it, but find themselves facing insurmountable challenges, and decide to give up. Very few really move forward in spite of the obstacles, and those are the ones who become our heroes.
What was interesting about the movie was the fact that Costner was obeying the voices without understanding why he was doing what they were asking. He took them by faith and faced the unknown. It was challenging at times when he faced temporary defeat, but he was rewarded big time at the end (of course, I won't tell you how...lol).
He built the baseball diamond, and for a very long time nothing happened. He thought it would happen immediately but he was wrong.
That is the mistake most of us make. I thought my dreams were going to happen overnight. I have been waiting for ten years now. Yes, there have been successes here and there, but the big one has taken a very long time man! I didn't know I had to fight this hard. I didn't know I had to face mountains, I didn't know I would cry more than once. I didn't know I would have my back against the wall so many times. The list goes on and on, but still, there is no regret at all. Do you know why? Because those dark moments are those who make the victory so sweet.
J. K. Rowling said once that failure is very important, we do not speak about it often, and success is the ability to resist failure or to use failure to achieve success. Most people never try things for fear of failing. Rock bottom is a place where you have nothing to lose, therefore, venture about anything to achieve success. I couldn't agree more

Disciplinary action to unite a party, not to split it - SB
August 4, 2016 05:18 pm
If a party takes disciplinary action against its members, that is to unite the party, not to split it, Minister S.B. Dissanayake says.
The observation was made while speaking to reporters in Galle this afternoon (04).
"There have been disputes within the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) from the beginning, and that is why Dr. S.A. Wickremesinghe once described it as a 'front' not a party," he added.
He also severely condemned the behavior of the supporters of the Joint Opposition who engaged in a protest march from Kandy to Colombo.
"If former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is not concerned, what others can do about it," he told reporters while responding to a question.

Day 89 - MOT
Bertha's a healthy car! Woo! I booked her in for her MOT and Service whilst I was in Kent, and dropped her off in the snow (!?!?) at a ridiculous 8:30 in the morning. Mum wasn't feeling great so we chilled out all day at home. Which I enjoy. Pogles is one of my favourite places to be, it's comfy, it's cosy, there's a tap that dispenses boiling water so tea is always mere moments away.
After waiting all day and not hearing anything back about Bertha I eventually called to find out if she was ok, and was told I'd get a call back in 5 minutes. I waited for 15 and then had to set off to get her cause otherwise it would be closed. Luckily, everything was absolutely fine, BOOYAH. Second MOT with no expenses, boom.
I picked up my lovely machine and headed back over to Rainham to collect my passenger. Further singing followed, as per.
An uncomplicated journey back up to Ealing later, and we were back in the flat eating cake. Sam went off to meet her mum and the rest of us went out to Asda to get in supplies for Sunday.
Another uninspiring day, but a win in my eyes. Love you Bertha.

The Webb Brothers
What happened to them, eh? I was fairly obsessed with Maroon at one point, especially 'Low Grade Fever' and 'Fluorescent Lights', which are still two of my favourite depression-inducing tunes. Was their later stuff a bit gash?
beyond the biosphere
is one of my favourite albums of all time. I never understood why they didnt take off. Some great support tours, rave reviews across the board. I think to be brutally honest the answer is probably that the follow up to Maroon was a bit shit.
Last I heard was that they were recording a musical or something ridiculous. Anyone?
i freakin loved
maroon when it came out. havent actually heard aything else by them. well remembered though, i'm off to dig maroon out, dust it off and give it a spin!
Just dug out my Maroon and Beyond The Biosphere from a big pile..
almost crushing my cat in the process, still I'm sure it's how he'd want to go..
i hope he/they do wichita lineman...not that i'll be there...
The first two were great
But what happened with the third album though? It was a shocker!
^^^ to get in ^^^
I'm getting a bit giddy with all this SXSW chat..
Maroon is such a good album...
I dunno why they weren't bigger. I think they were last seen in the UK about 18 months ago supporting The Magic Numbers.
make that about 5 years ago!
not so long ago
they supported Joanna Newsom at the Royal Albert Hall in '07, briefly, then the next day or so they played a tiny gig at the Hope & Anchor in Islington and Joanna came down and sang a duet with them. really nice guys.
man i love the webb brothers. i use to collect all the 7" singles and promo cds. seeing them at dingwalls back in the day still holds up as one of my favourite shows. i seem to remember the lights going down and them coming on stage shining torches in to the audience like on the cover of maroon.
what happened to them?

401 ~ rear window
Before I contact Brian M for a possible new-old wood fillet replacement for the rear window of my 401 ~ does anyone know of or can suggest an improved substitute?
The original wood fillet appears to have been manufactured (?) from a number of multi-layered (laminated) plywood segments ~ mine disintegrated on removing the metal finisher. (surround)
Due to the compound curves of the surround a ridge one piece fillet would be difficult to fabricate without an engineering drawing ~ unless you know otherwise.
401 ~ rear window
I have to attend to my rear window soon, the glass just about hanging in
there, my plywood frame had a dry rot look about it and crumbled also, it
does look as if this frame was engineered to support the glass around its
periphery, as the sealing compound, (some kind of window putty cocktail) had
little adhesive effect, I'll use Tiger seal, or something similar intended
for modern bonded screens, this stuff sticks a bit too well, then a dozen
or so wooden blocks to hold the glass while the sealant hardens, and
somewhere to screw the surround down, I'll do a dry run first.
401 ~ rear window
Hi Des ~ I didn't expect to be the only one with the problem. I have
experimented with replacement blocks (fillets) but not too happy with the
result. The fillets need to be secured to the window frame, the original
being held by self tap screws. The fillet also provides means of attaching
the head lining.
Please let me know how you get o
401 ~ rear window
When the fillet was made at Bristol it was over size both on the outside
that fits into the steel frame, and on the inside where the roof lining is
trapped between the wood and the aluminium finishing strip.
The method of fitting the wood frame which has two functions first to hold
the glass in position and secondly to form an attachment point for the roof
lining, is to use a spoke shave or similar tool to obtain a fit of the
wood in the frame. The inner side can then be formed using the aluminium
finishing strip as a gauge and allowing for the thickness of the roof lining.
When the car was made the window was sealed using a mixture of 50% Bostic C
and 50% Dum Dum, however there are modern materials now.
These wooden frames only fail when the seal gives way and lets in the
water, this can be detected by water finding its way into the boot, so if this
is the case act on it before you loose too much of the frame.
Hope this is of help, my regards,
401 ~ rear window
I had to re -seal the rear window on my 403 a couple of years ago. I bonded
the glass in place with a modern glass adhesive. As you will know, modern
car screens are secured this way. This glass will not require holding in
place whilst it sets as it has very good 'grab' qualities, and it will not
leak. An inner frame is required to fix the headlining to, and to hold the
aluminium trim. I made this up from strips of Millboard. This is a very
dense cardboard type of material which is used for glove boxes etc. and can
be built up to the required thickness using Evostik or similar between
layers. You can use the 'inner' suface of the alluminium trim to wrap the
board around, to give the correct shape, and keep adding layers until the
correct thickness is achieved. It can be trimmed as necessary with a sharp
blade when the glue is dry and then screw into place in the same way as the
original timber, and is hard enough to hold staples to secure the
I hope this is helpful.
401 ~ rear window
some 30 years ago i had the same problem with my 401
to fix it i cut out a block of timber the shape of the opening using the
old timber strip a a guide
took it to a cooper ( makes wine barrels) he cut out a strip of timber and
steam moulded it to fit
the pattern i had made
i then raspt some taper into it to fit to window opening
worked just fine
regards peter dowdle
401 ~ rear window
Hi Mike ~ Thanks for your suggestion. Woolies of Cambridgeshire sell
Millboard as door card with a special black finish at 2.3 mm thick. I've
estimated that the fillet should be 2 cm so should be able to laminate
fairly simply. Now to find a local stockist.
401 ~ rear window
I still have a full sheet of Woolies black faced milboard and have use it
in the past for interior panels, however, from my experience I would not
think it would be the best material for the job. too much like cardboard and
it tares. I would make a frame up using the aluminium finishing strip as a
pattern, but with something with a little more body in it.
My regards,
401 rear window - a lesson
For the past 2 years I have been plagued with the problem of water entering the boot of my 403. I dismissed the rear window seal as the culprit as everyone agreed that it looked in good order, added to which the rear window blind which is furled directly under the window, never seemed to be damp. I purchased, at a considerable cost, a series of rubber seals, edge trims, weatherstrips and other gadgets every few months. They failed one after the other to cure the leak. I poked my nose into the boot of every aerodyne that came my way and of which the owner was prepared to listen to my tale of woe. Frustratingly, although some had edge strips and similar in place, most had no seals of any sort in the boot edge or boot lid. Nobody else had a boot leak. Mike Davies even showed me the carpet ( !!!! ) in his boot never once got damp. That depressed me further.
On Nov 8th. Bellerophon wrote, >>These wooden frames only fail when the seal gives way and lets in the water, this can be detected by water finding its way into the boot>> This inspired me to route out the old seal around the rear window and renew it. I waited five days for rain and none came ( yes it's true ) so today I hosed the rear window and boot for five minutes. Not a drop of water in the boot ! The acid test will be when I drive in a downpour but I'm hopeful. Thank you Alan.
So there must be a lesson here for all aerodyne owners. If you suffer a leak into the boot change the rear window seal before doing anything else. It could save a lot of heartache.
Dave Dale.
Rear Window Timber Frame
Dear Reader,
In the course of renovating my 403, I have had to remove the window trim & rear glass. The timber frame had perished & only small sections remained complete.
Note this vehicle was in dry hibernation for about 20 yrs, so cannot say water was the culprit.
Thought about cutting replacement out of marine ply, however, curves in the roll of the body as well as the corners all but impossible to duplicate - ply too thick (6mm), unwieldy & unforgiving.
Good friend & Rover tragic cut strips of oak (English , I am led to believe) to duplicate remnant frame construction. As they bend without splitting, they do not require steaming so currently building up the thickness, one timber strip at a time, layer by layer utilizing the steelframe - left in situ, as the guide. Would photos be beneficial?
If successful, this should duplicate the original style of construction.
Was a jig used originally ? Reference to frame being spoke shaved to suit, has been made.
The original strips do not appear to be glued together, but currently using a interior/exterior PVA glue to ensure shape holds in place.
Body roll at base of window causing the most grief.
If successful - i.e do not deplete entire vocabulary of expletives during assembly - I will return to crow about results - this may take weeks to complete.
Rear brake lights - Installation of thin strip LED across top of rear window? Has this been done - successfully? As headlining is out , this safety feature warrants consideration .
Side effect - have plenty of marine ply to reproduce dash board timber or rear parcel shelf.
Yours in passing,
Three weekends in - 4 oak bands installed.Same as the original.
In 2 groups of 2 - did not like the lamination on the first 2 outer bands - lateral slip - but they stayed true to the steel frame, so leaving them as a template with the intention of replacing them when the inner bands have set.
Not using the aluminium frame (cover) as it is too easily distorted.
Posted some pics, when you do not have enough hands.
Having a template makes cutting each new strip to size easier & staggering overlapping the joints for strength .
Working amongst vineyards & not a cooper within co- ee ......
Yours in passing,
Very impressed with your reconstruction of the wood frame, makes me wonder if it might be worth saving the rear window section of an old 401 roof if it has not rotted away to do something similar on the bench, what thickness of oak strips did you use.
Oak strips 3 mm x 20mm. Quarter sawn, I am guessing on that though.
Yes, recommend using steel frame as template. Much easier to control timber to frame.
I have removed the frame from the car & find it was grossly over sized .
Able to use glass & alum frame to assist in reducing overall size.
Separate steel frame should eliminate that problem.
The original innermost remnant timber strip is heavily tapered on the inside edge - photo may illustrate situation. Presume it will provide smoother/softer edge for head lining & allow alum frame to slide in .
I have glued 2 strips together - overlapping butt joints to hold the shape and will do the same to the remaining strips when they go in. Very flexible but also very stiff to the lateral curve along the bottom edge of the window.
Might suggest wider strips & shave to follow curve as the alternate option to cutting the strips across to flex will introduce an inherent weakness should there be any water penetration from a break down in the window seal - don't think condensation would help either ...
Yours in passing,
Further to my last post on remaking the timber frame for the rear window - Using a combination of the laminated timber strips that I had moulded to the steel frame in the car and the internal finishing aluminium frame, I steamed up 2 more strips and bonded them together.
As per the photos.
This way the corners of the window frame and the body roll could be accommodated with limited torsional twisting along the lower edge of the frame where it is most pronounced.
The result fits very snugly into the frame and will require some sanding to have a better fit along that bottom edge as well as substantial removal of timber in the outer edge to allow the head lining room to be folded over and secured.
Suspect oak may be resilient to tacks , but that is the way with this type of work - one solution leads to another problem.
If it was easy, it wouldn't be addictive,
Yours in passing,
Since the interior is out to access the window - work started on removing the masonite on the rear parcel shelf which has suffered water damage.
Used marine ply, slightly thicker and denser but should avoid any future issues with any minor leaks that might occur.
The blind roller has a curve in it like a hockey stick .
To avoid being met with incredulous looks when I wander into an awning manufacturer seeking a new one - are there replacements about or do I need to hollow out a bit of dowel or gut & insert spring into a plastic tube of similar dimensions?
Yours in passing,

Time was that people went to the Walt Disney Parks and
Resorts just because they wanted to experience all of the rides, shows &
attractions and/or stay on-site at one of their hotels.

the new gold standard when it comes to a first-class dining experience at the
Walt Disney Parks & Resorts. Photo by Matt Stroshane. Copyright Disney

But over the past 10 - 15 years, another reason has emerged
for folks to make special trips to Anaheim, Orlando and/or on one of Disney's
cruise ships. And that's because they began enjoying the world-class cuisine
that could now be found at Disney Parks & Resorts.
"Seriously, when Guests began flying down to Walt Disney
World just so they could then go to dinner at Victoria & Albert's, that's
when we knew that people's perceptions of the place had changed. At least when
it came to the quality & the variety of food that was now being served at the Parks
& Resorts," said Pam Brandon.
The Chef's Table at Victoria
& Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Copyright Disney
Enterprises, Inc. All rights reserved
And trust me, Pam really knows when it comes to Disney food.
As the author - along with the Disney Chefs - of "Delicious Disney," "Delicious Disney Deserts," "Chef Mickey: Treasures from the Vault and Delicious New Favorites" and "Cooking With Mickey," Brandon has spent literally hundreds of hours
backstage. Chatting with the Chefs & their staff in Disney Parks and Resorts kitchens. All as part of Pam's ongoing effort
to make sure that the Guests can take a little Disney culinary magic home
with them after they wrap up their Disneyland, Disney World and/or DCL
"Of course, the challenge here is that - when you're working
with the Disney Chefs ... Well, they don't really write recipes. They create dishes.
More to the point, when they're working in their kitchens, these Chefs will
create a hundred servings of a particular dish. Rather than the six or so
servings that a typical family needs when it sitsdown to dinner," Brandon
explained. "Which is why it can sometimes be tricky when you're compiling a recipe, listing all the
ingredients necessary to prepare a dish which will then taste just like it does whenever it's served at a Disney
Copyright Disney Enterprises,
Inc. All rights reserved
Mind you, Pam faced an additional challenge with her most
recent book, "Delicious Disney: Just for Kids" (Disney Editions, March 2011).
Given that every recipe listed in this 48-page hardcover had to be one that a child could then prepare with a little
adult supervision.
"We started with 100 recipes and then winnowed those down to
30-40 candidates," Pam recalled. "And then - from there - it was all
about the testing. We cooked each of these dishes three times. Not only to make
sure that the final product was Disney quality, but also to make sure that this recipe was
actually something that a kid could cook."

preparation for the Cooking Place's Macaroni & Cheese. Photo by Gary
Bogdon. Copyright Disney Enterprises, Inc. All rights reserved
So - yeah - as you page through "Delicious Disney: Just for
Kids" - you'll find some of the types of recipes that you'd typically expect to find
in a kid-friendly cookbook. Like the Macaroni & Cheese that's served at Jiko - The Cooking Place at WDW's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Or the No-Bake Granola Treats that
Disney's Contemporary Resort bakery makes.
But then there are the dishes that surprise. Like the BLT
Tomato Soup that's long been a Guest favorite at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater
Restaurant at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Or - better yet - the Ratatouille
that's served at the Crystal Palace at WDW's Magic Kingdom Park.
"Those sorts of choice were deliberate. You have to
understand that kids' palates are far more sophisticated these days," Brandon
continued. "So we wanted to feature some dishes in this cookbook which then reflected
that change."
Well, I don't know about kids palates. But I have to tell
you that - as I paged through 'Delicious Disney: Just for Kids" - I saw a lot
of recipes that appealed to my palate. Theme park favorites like Big
Thunder Ribs. Which Disneyland fans have been chowing down on ever since these
savory meat treats first appeared on the menu at Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue.
As for Ms. Brandon, if she had to pick a favorite out of
this new cookbook ... Well, it would be pretty hard for her to choose.
"I mean, I love the African Fruit Fool - which is so easy to
prepare and so good for you too. But I also like the stuff that's really isn't
good for you - not in large amounts, anyway - like the Florentine Cookies and
the Potato Gnocchi," Pam laughed.

And while "Delicious Disney: Just for Kids" is expected to
get a great response from Guests when it finally hits store shelves later this
week ... To be honest, Ms. Brandon's already gotten the response that really
"When we were doing the test cooking for all of the recipes
in this book, what made me happiest was that the kids who were helping us out with
the cooking couldn't wait to eat the food," Pam stated. "They just couldn't wait
for these dishes to come out of the oven."

Mountain Ribs. Photo by Gary Bogdon. Copyright Disney Enterprises, Inc. All

And while it would be nice if Pam could take some time to
appreciate all of the accolades that will soon be headed her way ... To be
honest, Ms. Brandon and the Disney
Chefs are already hard at work on the next book in the "Delicious Disney"
series. Which will celebrate all of the food that's served at Disney Parks and
Resorts over the holiday season.
"And we're not just talking about Christmas. This cookbook will
feature recipes which will be suitable for serving up on Valentines Day, St.
Patrick's Day and Hanukkah," Pam concluded. "So this next one should be a fun
& informative cookbook as well."
But for now ... Hey, don't let that "Delicious Disney: Just
for Kids" name throw you. Because - to be blunt -- there are enough dishes in
this cookbook which appeal to both kids & adults (like that Chocolate,
Peanut Butter and Banana French Toast which is served at the PCH Grill at Disney's
Paradise Pier Hotel at the Disneyland Resort) that this new Disney Editions publication is well worth adding to your home cookbook

PAX 08: Dead Space
Dead Space. Despite the name, the PAX booth was very much alive with people getting a first look at the gameplay, and Redwood Shores didn't disappoint. Dead Space follows the story of Issac Clarke, an engineer responding to a distress call from a malfunctioning space mining ship. Upon making contact with and docking on the ship, Issac finds that not only did the ship's crew not respond when hailed, there appears to be nobody alive on the ship either. To make matters worse, Issac and his two partners soon discover that the ship is now inhabited by a hostile alien race. Issac is soon separated from his colleagues and must fight his way to safety through claustrophobic corridors and often broken and malfunctioning machinery, as if dealing with aliens wasn't enough.
Getting in to the booth was well worth the surprisingly short wait, with a fairly long playable demo available to showcase the game. Dead Space features a very minimalistic HUD in order to immerse the player immediately, but it's also pretty intuitive despite the lack of information in the normal places. For example, your life remaining isn't shown as a bar but as a lighted area on the back of Issac's respirator, which is visible at most all times. Ammunition remaining is also displayed on the weapon, as many games now do, but that's the only place it shows up. In fact, aside from when you wanted to switch weapons or look at your inventory, the HUD was almost non-existent. This left a lot more room for the important stuff: decapitations, mangled limbs and deformed monstrosities screaming at you from all directions. One of the most entertaining weapons available in the demo was a gun that shot out a rotating saw blade that hovered in front of Issac, letting him run down a narrow corridor and send limbs flying. Unfortunately for Issac, that isn't the end of whatever he's fighting in most cases. During the demo I was surprised quite a few times by enemies I thought I'd killed, but apparently not thoroughly enough. Most enemies in Dead Space actually must be dismembered in a certain way, or they may continue to crawl after Issac or even mutate into a new form in order to deal with their disability, and it's a lot scarier than a cripple in a wheelchair.
The demo also focused on showcasing Dead Space's largely puzzle and problem solving aspects, aside from the main horror survival part. During the demo Issac had to eliminate foreign objects from a large room by incinerating them. Using the lack of gravity to their advantage, players jumped from wall to wall, grappling on with magnetic boots while being hounded by aliens every step of the way. While it was pretty intense, the atmosphere felt a little lacking, but understandably. The demo was short and not enough to really build a horror atmosphere, but all the right elements were definitely there. Dead Space also looked excellent, displaying the impressive lighting when artefacts were incinerated also being a large part of the demo. Attention to detail was also impressive (even down to bloodstains on Issac's boots). Personally I've been looking forward to Dead Space for some time, and if the demo is any indication it's going to be everything I've been hoping for.

Hello everybody.
I have a excel file which is in structure a class routine:

I have the scenario (using a third party component) where certain columns must not be present as input.
I am doing a Full Outer - Merge Join.
This results in:
but now in some cases the LeftPK may be null in other cases the RightPK may be null,
so i'm creating a derived column to check:
ISNULL(LeftPK) ? RightPK : LeftPK
and call this the TruePK
this all works however now i'm left with 3 columns
LeftPK; RightPK; TruePK
Is there some kind of transform (other than script task) that i can use to get rid of Left and Right PK columns before sending input to next third party component?
I have a DetailsView control with two columns and 7 rows. I need the two columns to merge in row two and get rid of the header. I only the data from the DB to display no the header name in row two. How do I merge it in DetailsView control?
Help is much appreciated.

What Are Health Outcome Data?
Types of Data
National, state, and local health agencies often collect and maintain statistical data on diseases (health outcomes) or on the health status of a defined group of people. For instance, records about births and deaths are usually found at local or state agencies. Many states maintain data on birth defects and on cancer. Some information is also available from national health agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
From the list below, select six likely types of health information that might be available for a community. Then click on the View Correct Selections link below to check your answers.
- Birth certificates
- Preschool enrollment rosters
- Birth defects registries
- Fetal death reports
- View Correct Selections
- Marriage license applications
- Death certificates
- Disease registries
- Cancer registries
View Correct Selections
View Correct Selections
The selections checked contain health information.
Birth certificates
Preschool enrollment rosters
Birth defects registries
Fetal death reports
Marriage license applications
Death certificates
Disease registries
Cancer registries
Incorrect choices:
Preschool enrollment rosters
These primarily provide names of children enrolled for the upcoming school year. The rosters might include immunization or some other health-related information, but probably nothing that would address health status. Also, such information is kept confidential and thus would be generally unavailable.
Marriage license applications
These provide only information on possible name changes or information on sexually transmitted diseases, but nothing on general health status.

You & This Route
8 Opinions
Your Difficulty Rating:
-none- Change
Your Ticks:Add New Tick
The climb starts same as Dream of Poudre and follows the first 3 bolts. To start the route properly, scramble up and make the big move from the glued on side pull to the small positive crimp. After clipping the 3rd bolt, make the next big move, switch hands, and start the heinous traverse to the right. At this point, you meet up with the Dark Horse project. Make a few more difficult moves, with a nice dead point, to gain the horizontal ledge and rest. From here, make a couple more big moves to gain another rest. Milk this as much as you can before making a series of easier moves to set up for the crux dyno throw. After the throw, turn onto the slab and finish on Dream of Poudre/Pinkle Bear.
Have an attentive belayer at the dyno, missing the jug on lead will send you reeling back into the ledge lower down. If you like big bouldery moves, this route should not be missed. It combines the best moves of Dream of Poudre with so much more.

I agree with Spencer, this is a great route and right up to par with the high bar set at the Ech. I will say the moves are not quite as interesting as some of the other routes on the wall like Tail Spin and Old Man, which is why I give it 3 stars, but if you're looking to step it up a notch, this climb should not be missed. A great finish that is super low percentage adds to the frustrations but makes the victory all that much sweeter. Only took me 16 heartbreaking tries. Mar 11, 2012

What is the Dark Horse Project...and where is it? And how hard do you think it is? And is it open? Feb 18, 2014
Spencer Anderson Fort Collins, CO
The Dark Horse Project traverses in from the right side (to the left of Fulsom Flute) and finishes on Dark Pony. It was probably somewhere around 14- until one of the holds broke. Check with Ben Scott, but I think it's an open project. Feb 22, 2014

Fantastic climbing to a full rest to a sweet dyno to dessert climbing. Really fun and worthy! Feb 1, 2015

I first met Icon Ebony Fierce three years ago at Tabu, she wasn't performing, and yet she seemed to have an entourage. I asked myself, "who is this ebony icon?" (see what I did there?). The next thing I knew, I was seeing girlfriend EVERYWHERE, but I didn't get a chance to really speak to
Janet, Ms. Jackson if you're nasty Icon until a fundraiser for Phreak N Queer at The Troc. We both performed that night and when I finally got a chance to witness what is Icon Ebony Fierce, all I could say is, "Respect." A Drag/Performance Artist with original music and a fierce look…. you know I can get with that.
Over the years, I've come to respect Icon for her talent, perseverance, and positive attitude. I am privileged to call her a friend. So, I decided to track my old friend down Inside The Green Room. I know the hooker lives for whiskey, so I go to the bar, grab a shot of Heaven Hill (I'm on an artist budget, alright!), snag a cigarette from the drunk guy waiting outside of an unoccupied bathroom and present an offering to the Icon.
Icon Ebony Fierce, that is quite the name, my friend. What does the name mean to you?
It means the elements of who I am and who I wanted to aspire to be in the past (and now) Icon means an unique image. A known figure in the community. Ebony represents me always embracing my roots in all forms. Fierce is my style of performance.
—–I take a moment to digest the beauty of what she just said and to recover from the seemingly source-less wind that gently blew her hair as she spoke… is this real life?
What does "drag" mean to you?
Drag means creating a non gender binary character. Bending gender in the most extravagant and glamorous way.
Walk us through you first experience performing in Drag.
I performed an original song with my own hair in locs for a benefit for top surgery called "Pop That Pussy" which was sampled from Janet and Luther's "The best things in life are free". I was literally shitting bullets. Mind you I was very new to the drag world in general. It was the most liberating and electric feeling ever.
I know a lady who describes taking molly the exact same way… hmm. As a performer, what do you feel is the greatest struggle you have faced in your career thus far, and how did you handle it?
Being understood and accepted as someone that's seen as "different" as I learned about all the elements of drag. As well as the normal shade, rumors and hurtful comments made about myself. I learned to deal with it by doing what was my original passion and knowing my reason for pursuing drag. Performance through expression.
Excellence is often met with opposition. Who is your greatest inspiration?
To name a few, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Kevin Aviance, and all the queer performance before me.
Buy Bastian, the new album by Sebastian
What do you love about the Philly performance scene? What would you change?
I love the ability to create spaces to open up new places and spaces for us. I would change the community aspect of the scene. That's up to everyone's interpretation.
My middle name is Rosetta Stone, so….
What do you feel is the greatest struggle in your life that you've overcome?
My own struggle with coming out my shell, insecurities and battles with my fears.
What is love?
There's so many ways I can explain love. But I can pinpoint that love is within and outward. Can people embrace both is the question.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I see myself traveling to change people's thoughts and perception on people like myself. And as complex as I am, there's always work to be done. Especially because there is so many people like myself.
What's next for you?
Stay tuned.
And stay tuned, we will! Follow my girl on instagram and keep up with this

Stan Issacs took the lead on this activity for the 2012 Circle on the Road festival.
AUDIENCE: Grades 4 – 12 plus teachers
This session will use a collection of mathematical puzzles to engage participants, and draw them into mathematical discovery. These are puzzles that I have been using at many festivals, along with developing activities around new puzzles. The main idea is to have some mechanical puzzles that the participants can play with at first, but can solve much easier by applying some basic mathematical principles that will also apply to more difficult variations of the puzzles. So the goal is to have the puzzles, but also variations that will test how well the participants have understood the solutions.
Instant Insanity (this is possibly the best for older kids, the graphics solutions are a little difficult for younger students, and there are lots of alternative colorings and variations that can test ones solution skills.)
Soma Cube: Straightforward mathematical helps towards a solution, without solving it.
Conway cubes: Also reasonable for younger students, with some good variations
I also use a nice tiling set of puzzles, that basically tile a square or right triangle with either integer or root-two sides, so they have to figure out which, and realize that the integer sides of the pieces must match up with the integer sides of the goal, and similarly for the root-two sides. Not as many good variations.
And I'm working on a set of puzzles demonstrating some of the relationships between a tetrahedron, cube, and octahedron by dissecting cubes.
These are mainly geared towards a student exploring the puzzles and learning the math through the exploration, in a JR type setting. For Math Circles, I think the Instant Insanity is good because it lends itself better to a central presentation rather than a simple exploration.
APPRENTICES: Anne Chen, Elizabeth Tarbutton, Yulan Qing
The Julia Robinson notes should be on the MSRI website, findable if you google for "Julia Robinson".
And an old writeup follows:
Mathematically Interesting Mechanical Puzzles Selected for Youth
All MIMPSY were the puzzle troves…
I'm looking for mechanical puzzles that can be used with middle- to high-school students that will demonstrate and teach mathematical principles. The puzzles must be interesting enough for the students to want to play with them and solve them, but be difficult enough so thinking about them, instead of just fiddling with them, will be beneficial. In addition, the puzzles should have variations, so that once they have thought through and solved one puzzle, the variations will become much easier. Since I collect mechanical puzzles, that is the kind of puzzle I'm most interested in. Mechanical puzzles are ones that have a physical, three-dimensional component, so they can be fiddled with and examined by hand.
In summary, the puzzles should be:
Good mechanical puzzles, that can be played with and manipulated.
Have interesting mathematics associated with them, not too difficult (eg, Rubik's Cube), nor too easy (eg, Tangrams), basically aimed at high school and junior high school level.
The mathematics should be discoverable by the students, via a series of hints and suggestions.
The puzzle should have variations, such that once the mathematics has been discovered for the original, it will help solve the variations
1. Instant Insanity
4 cubes with 4 colors stacked in a tower so that each side of the tower shows all 4 colors
2. Soma Cube
6 polycube pieces to fit in a 3x3x3 cube
3. WayCon Cube (Slothouber-Graatsma)
6 2x2x1 pieces plus 3 1x1x1 pieces fit in a 3x3x3 cube
4. Tower of Hanoi
6 disks of 6 sizes on a peg with 2 other pegs; move the disks to another peg, never putting a big disk on a smaller disk
Other possibilities:
Tower of Hanoi and/or Chinese Rings
To discover recursion; to count how many steps
Peg jumping
Discover proofs of possibility: can a shape be solved
Lights Out
Linear algebra
Rubik's Cube
Group theory (too difficult, and the mathematics applicable to the cube isn't interesting in group theory
— Stan
Thinking about new puzzles and puzzle variations is always good, and any (mechanical) puzzles or variations you can think of would be great, either before or during the meetings. This is a continually expanding set of topics, and I've just scratched the surface of what might be possible. The main thing (from my point of view) is to focus on mechanical puzzles, in the 8 ti 18 age group. But I'm finding more and more that there are also younger students coming to these, and so am exploring possibilities for younger students also. I think the mathematics involved in the four main puzzle-types I've working on so far (Soma, Conway, Instant Insanity, Square with Wonder) is more jr. high and high school then younger elementary school. The young ones may enjoy the puzzles, but are less likely to understand the underlying mathematics. So I'm looking at several geometrical puzzles (cube dissections, ball pyramids) that might be fun to play with and would help develop spacial intuition. But any ideas of puzzles along these lines would be greatly appreciated!
I find just as big a problem in getting the students to get from just playing with the puzzles (which is fun in itself) to getting an appreciation for the mathematics. That's why the variations are important, but still, getting from a solution to an understanding remains a difficult problem. Getting the students to read the write-ups doesn't often work (for most of them, anyway.) Encouraging them to think about the variations mathematically might work, but takes personal contact. I now have a couple of Soma variations that are impossible, and should be provably impossible by the students, giving the solving technique suggested. Proving something impossible might be the cleanest way to show the efficacy of the mathematics!
I've attached write-ups of the main 3 puzzles. They are similar to the website, but I've made some small changes. Any editorial suggestions you can make or errors you find would be gratefully accepted. I'm not sure what kind of computers anyone has, so I'll send them as pdf files. (The last one is a "Show What You Know" page, where we give ways for the students to demonstrate their knowledge to the monitors.) (Josh: I haven't changed the Instant Insanity or Square with Wonder.)

American Apparel started out as an idea Dov Charney, the founder and long-time CEO, had in his Tufts University dorm room in 1989. The company started out as a wholesale retailer of high-quality cotton T-shirts. This proved to be extremely successful and the company quickly expanded to selling its manufactured goods in 260 shops in 19 countries. In 2005 it was listed among the fastest growing US Companies with a 440% three-year growth and revenues of over $ 211 million.
The clothes manufacturer is known for its "Made in America" policy, which shuns the sweatshops of Asia to support US manufacturing.
It is a vertically integrated company: all storefronts are owned by the company, they avoid outsourcing and have integrated all steps of production. This business model based on domestic manufacturing allows them to be flexible and quick in the process leading from design to the finished product.
They pay double the minimum wage to their mainly immigrant workforce and provide health insurance and free international telephone calls.
They have attracted great publicity but also notoriety for their advertising: the company is widely known for its provocative and controversial advertising campaigns. Multiple campaigns have been banned in several countries because the images were sexually explicit or because the models in the ads were porn actresses.
As is common for fashion companies with a teenage customer base, their success was somewhat short-lived. In 2008 the company started encountering financial problems and a substantial decrease in revenues led them to yield negative profits from 2009 onwards. In June 2014 the Board of Directors decided to oust its founder, chairman and CEO Dov Charney after allegations of misconduct.
For a long time Charney's kinetic lifestyle seemed to embody American Apparel's anti-establishment flair. But soon, the founder's antics appeared to cross a line.
He was involved in multiple sexual harassment lawsuits by female employees alleging all kinds of misconduct from choking a store manager to forcing an employee into sex slavery. Charney's lawyers maintained that these accusations were unfounded and that he was merely a deep-pocketed target for lawsuits. However, his misconduct was not limited to these lawsuits. A profile in the magazine "Jane" described Charney repeatedly masturbating in front of the reporter during an interview.
Former employees have also stated he once hosted a meeting wearing nothing but a sock – not on his foot. Furthermore, internal investigations have found that he embezzled company money for his personal use.
Despite all of these accusations, Charney and his lawyers still claim that his being fired was illegal (he is claiming he was blackmailed by the Board of Directors) and are suing the company in order to get Charney reinstated as CEO. After multiple lawsuits, Charney failed to gain back control of the company and a new CEO was appointed.
Throughout the litigation with Charney, American Apparel's financial situation deteriorated and in 2015 it filed for bankruptcy. It's losses over the last five years have topped $340 million and it has lost $45 million more this year.
The main reason behind this crisis is the high debt-to-equity ratio. Before filing for bankruptcy, they were scrambling to raise money to pay down debts amounting to $ 15.4 million. "Our debt load simply wasn't sustainable. You can't do a turnaround plan without cash," Ms. Schneider, the new CEO, said. Further reasons behind the bankruptcy were a precipitous fall in sales and the drawn-out legal battles with the former CEO.
Recently a deal was struck with most of American Apparel's secured lenders to reduce the retailer's debt through a process known as a debt-for-equity conversion. During this process bondholders swap their debt for shares in the company. They agreed to a plan with their creditors to convert $200 million of debt into equity, $90 million in debtor financing and $70 million in new capital.
The new CEO, Ms.Schneider, states that the company is still committed to manufacturing in the US. "We will continue to manufacture in America," she said. "That's what the brand is. That's what it's about."
