I have to admit that when I first saw The Boy's On-the-Side, I was confused. His legs go where? And how does his penis get to where it needs to be? But when I saw that one of you girls recommended it, I couldn't resist. You all have really become my own personal sexperts! I love reading your feedback and tips. And so I took the advice of BugMarie, who suggested I try The Boy's On-the-Side because it's an "excellent feeling."
I showed up at D.'s apartment after work and we made dinner together. Actually D. made dinner while I watched and thought about how lucky I am to have a guy who cooks for me, even if he sometimes oversalts the vegetables, undercooks the meat…and isn't sure where our relationship is heading. (You can tell I haven't quite moved on from that conversation…)
I stole a tip from Cosmo and suggested we eat with our fingers, which is super sensual and animalistic. Must be true since eating quickly turned into kissing and kissing quickly turned into stripping down. D.'s roommate was out for the night so we went at it right on the living room floor. D. started by going down on my and let me just say–there is something so incredibly hot about getting oral out of the bedroom and the shower! It feels very taboo! Though as soon as we got into the pose—me on my side and D. on top of me—I realized the bed might have been a better option.
But in the name of spontaneity (and—oh crap—possibly exhibitionism…I realized later that the shades were slightly open), I stuck with it. I bent my right leg, which was on top, and sort of lifted and angled my butt towards D. He was able to slide in more easily that I expected, probably because I was pretty well lubed up from the oral foreplay.
He thrust a few times, but I was so uncomfortable that I switched into Romp with a View—a position I've been wanting to try since I saw it in the book last week. The girl props herself up on one elbow, lifts the upper leg and outstretches the lower one. The guy then straddles the leg on the bed (or in our case, hardwood floor) and goes at it.
D. climaxed before me then finished me off with more oral.
Does your guy always make sure you finish or does the hook up usually end when he climaxes? Also, in what rooms besides the bedroom have you gotten it on?

Women and HIV/AIDS in the United States
Women have been affected by HIV/AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic.1, 2 Today, women account for 1 in 5 (20%) new HIV infections in the U.S.3 Women of color, particularly Black women, have been especially hard hit and represent the majority of women living with the disease and women newly infected.1, 3 As with people with HIV overall, most women with HIV are not in regular care and only a quarter are virally suppressed.4 Women with and at risk for HIV face several challenges to getting the services and information they need, including socio-economic and structural barriers, such as poverty, cultural inequities, and sexual violence, and women may place the needs of their families above their own.5, 6, 7, 8 In addition, women also experience different clinical symptoms and complications due to HIV disease.9 Despite this impact, there are promising new signs, with data indicating that HIV infections are now falling among women, including among Black women, although they continue to rise among gay men.3 Still, addressing the epidemic's impact on women in the U.S., particularly women of color, remains critical to ensuring that these encouraging trends continue.
Snapshot of the Epidemic
- Today, of the more than 1.1 million people living with HIV in the U.S., more than 270,000, or 24%, are women.10
- Women accounted for 20% (9,500) of new HIV infections in 2010, a 21% decrease since 2008 and the first significant decrease after more than a decade of relatively steady HIV incidence among women.3, 11
- In 2011, there were 8,102 new AIDS diagnoses (AIDS being most advanced form of HIV disease) among women, representing 25% of AIDS diagnoses in that year. New AIDS diagnoses among women are also on the decline.1
- Women comprised one quarter of deaths among people with an HIV diagnosis in 2010 (26% or 5,232 deaths).1
- Most women are infected through heterosexual sex (84% of new HIV infections in 2010) (Figure 1).3
Key Trends and Current Cases
Women of color, particularly Black women, are disproportionately affected by HIV, accounting for the majority of new HIV infections, women living with HIV, and HIV-related deaths among women in the U.S.
- In 2010, Black women accounted for nearly two thirds (64%) of all estimated new HIV infections among women, while only accounting for 13% of the female population; white women accounted for 18% and Latinas 15% of new infections (Figure 2).3, 12, 13 Recent data indicate that, as with women overall, new HIV infections among Black women are also on the decline, decreasing by 21% between 2008 and 2010.3
- By the end of 2010, over half (60%) of all women living with an HIV diagnosis were Black; 19% were Latina and 18% were white.1
- HIV incidence rates (which show the severity of impact after controlling for differences in population size) are much higher for Black women and Latinas than for white women. In 2010, the rate of new HIV infections for Black women was 20 times higher than the rate for white women (38.1 per 100,000, compared to 1.9); the rate for Latinas (8.0) was 4 times higher.3 Rates of women living with an HIV diagnosis follow a similar pattern.1
- The likelihood of a woman being diagnosed with HIV in her lifetime is significantly higher for black women (1 in 32) and Latinas (1 in 106) than for white women (1 in 526).5
- Black women accounted for the greatest share of deaths among women with HIV in 2010 (64%), followed by white women (18%) and Latinas (12%).14 In 2010, HIV was the 7th leading cause of death for Black women ages 25-44, but did not rank among the top 10 leading causes of death for white women 25-44.15 In 2010, the HIV death rate per 100,000 women, ages 25-44, was 10.3 for Black women, higher than the rate for other women and most men in this age group, and second only to the rate among Black men.16
Women ages 25-34 accounted for the largest share (29%) of new HIV infections among women in 2010, followed by those ages 35-44 (25%) and 13-24 (22%) (Figure 1).3, 12, 17 Newly infected Black women and Latinas are more likely to be younger than white women – 23% of new infections among Black women and 21% among Latinas were among 13-24 year-olds, compared to 16% of new infections among white women.3
- Women are most likely to be infected with HIV through heterosexual sex (84% of new infections in 2010), followed by injection drug use (16%) (Figure 1).3 This pattern is consistent across racial and ethnic groups, although heterosexual transmission accounts for a greater share of new HIV infections among Black women and Latinas (87% and 86%, respectively) compared to white women (76%); injection drug use accounts for a greater share of new infections among white women (25%).3
- Mother-to-child transmission of HIV in the U.S. has decreased dramatically since its peak in 1991 due to the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART), which significantly reduces the risk of transmission from a woman to her baby (to less than 2%).18 Still, some perinatal infections occur each year, the majority of which are among Blacks, and there continue to be missed opportunities for preventing mother-to-child transmissions, such as women testing late in their pregnancy.1, 19
Reproductive health
HIV interacts with women's reproductive health on many levels:9
- Studies have shown that the HIV is transmitted more efficiently from men to women during sexual intercourse. In addition, women with other sexually transmitted infections are at increased risk for contracting HIV.
- Women with HIV are at increased risk for developing or contracting a range of conditions, including human papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to cervical cancer, and severe pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
- Research efforts are exploring a number of new HIV prevention technologies which could be particularly beneficial for women, such as cervical barriers and microbicides.
- In addition, family planning sites provide an important entry point for reaching women at risk for and living with HIV. A majority of women of reproductive age (60%) report that a family planning site is their usual source of reproductive and general health care services; 41% say it is their only source of care.20
HIV's impact varies across the country and, in some states, the epidemic is more likely to have a woman's face. Ten states account for the majority of women living with an HIV diagnosis (68% at the end of 2010); with 5 states accounting for about half (49%) (Figure 3).21 While the District of Columbia has far fewer women living with an HIV diagnosis (3,967 at the end of 2010), the rate per 100,000 of women living with an HIV diagnosis is over 8 times the national rate for women (1,403.3, compared to 165.2 nationally).21 By the end of 2009, 10 large metropolitan areas represented over half (56%) of all women living with an HIV diagnosis. The New York and Miami metropolitan areas had the greatest number and highest rates of women living with an HIV diagnosis.22
HIV Testing and Access to Prevention & Care
- The CDC recommends routine HIV screening for all adults, ages 13-64, in health care settings, including women, and repeat screening at least annually for those at high risk. The CDC also recommends all pregnant women be screened for HIV, and that those at high-risk for HIV have repeat HIV screening in their third trimester. HIV testing of newborns is recommended if the mother's status is unknown.23
- While over half (55%) of women in the U.S. ages 18-64 report having been tested for HIV at some point, just 1 in 5 (22%) report that they were tested in the past year. Black women are much more likely to report having been tested in the past year compared to white women (52% compared to 12%).24
- Among those women who are HIV positive, 31% were tested for HIV late in their illness – that is, diagnosed with AIDS within one year of testing positive, a similar share as men.1
- Looking across the spectrum of access to care, from HIV diagnosis to viral suppression, reveals missed opportunities for reaching women. Among women living with HIV in the U.S., more than 8 in 10 (85%) have been diagnosed, but only 70% have been linked to care. Moreover, just 41% are retained in regular care, 36% are prescribed ART, and 26% are virally suppressed.4
- There are a number of sources of care and treatment for women with HIV in the U.S., including government programs such as Medicaid and the Ryan White Program for those who are eligible. Two relatively recent developments may impact access to care, as well as access to prevention services, for women – the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and the Affordable Care Act.25, 26
Concern About HIV/AIDS
When asked how concerned they were personally about becoming infected with HIV, a recent survey found that 22% of women in the U.S. say they are "very" or "somewhat" concerned. Black women are much more likely to say they are concerned (45%) than white women (13%). Black women are also more likely than white women to express concern about an immediate family member becoming infected with HIV (70% vs. 26%, respectively).24

BRASILIA, Brazil, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- The Brazilian subsidiary of Italian vehicle manufacturer Iveco is to begin production of Guarani armored vehicles for Brazil's military forces.
Under the $118.6 million contract from the Brazilian Ministry of Defense, 86 VBTP MR wheeled armored personnel carriers will be produced.
Their production will allow the Brazilian army to restructure its mechanized forces and also set in motion an Iveco production process that could produce more than 2,000 Guaranis for the country.
The VBTP MR can carry nine soldiers in addition to a two-man crew. It can be transported on C-130 aircraft, is fully amphibious and is equipped with a remote weapons system.
It is of modular design, which allows the use of different turrets, weapons, sensors and communications systems.
The Brazilian government has authorized procurement of about 2,000 of the vehicles. The initial batch of 86 will be used by infantry and cavalry units of the land force, which will carry out operational trials of the product.
Iveco Latin America Marco Mazzu, speaking at the contract signing, called the deal the "renaissance" of Brazil's defense industry.
The Gurani was developed with Brazilian technology through a joint project between the Army Technology Center and Iveco, which is part of the Fiat Industrial Group and will replace the military's fleet of Urutu and Cascavel wheeled armored vehicles which date to the 1970s.
Iveco said the vehicle has sparked interest in other countries of the region and preliminary talks have been conducted with Argentina on acquiring the Guarani.
Iveco said production of the initial order should begin early next year at a dedicated facility in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. More than 100 direct suppliers and some 600 indirect suppliers will be involved at the full-production level.
In other developments, BAE Systems in Britain reports that the first of three ocean patrol vessels ordered by the Brazilian navy has been built and is sailing to its homeport.
Prior to its sailing, the Amazonas' crew, supported by a team from BAE Systems, underwent extensive training on the vessel, including anti-piracy drills.
"Saying farewell to the first ship in the Amazonas class is a significant stage in our ongoing relationship with the Brazilian navy and is a source of great pride to those who worked on her," said Nigel Stewart, commercial director of BAE Systems Maritime. "We look forward to continuing our work with the Brazilian Navy to deliver the next two Ocean Patrol Vessels, Apa and Araguari, over the coming months."
The Amazonas will complete a series of diplomatic visits in Europe and Africa before arriving in Rio de Janeiro in October, following which its crew will undergo an operational assessment before joining the Brazilian fleet.
The Brazilian navy will use the vessel for maritime security, search and rescue and humanitarian relief operations.
The first-of-class Amazonas was constructed at BAE Systems' Portsmouth facility. The Apa and Araguari will be delivered to the Brazilian navy in December of this year and in April 2013, respectively.
Vessel features include 30mm cannon and 25mm guns, inflatable boats and a helicopter flight deck.

I was at the blog My Mood is Music, and saw they posted the following MTV Video:
Dawny Dawn is being really fake about the situation. I don't understand why she is the only member going on a media blitz. Danity Kane cannot exist without the original 5 members, I don't care what diddy thinks.
I just wish he did a better job of promoting them. Instead of performing at six flags they could have been making more music videos and performing at award shows?

Top ten heavy metal upgrades
10)Andi Deris for Michael Kiske, Helloween, 1993
I liked Helloween with Kiske, but I think they had done as much as they could with him by this point. Deris brought a new dimension to the band and they have continued to grow over the last 13 years..
9)Eric Carr for Peter Chriss, KISS,1980
Not a popular move among some Kiss enthusiasts. However the truth is that Peter Chris was not that good of a drummer and I sincerely believe that. Eric Carr was a very good drummer and the difference was immediate even if his make-up wasn't all that great.
8)Nick Menza for Chuck Behler, Megadeth,1989
I remember seeing Megadeth open for Judas Priest in 1990 and from my seat I could see behind stage as Nick Menza was running in place and running in circles for ten minutes straight before they hit the stage. That's the kind of energy and enthusiasm he brought to this band.
7)Jimmy Bain(bass), Tony Carey(keyboards) and Cozy Powell(drums) in for Craig Gruber, Mickey Lee Soul and Gary Driscoll, Rainbow, 1976
I am allowing myself to pick a change involving multiple members because I believe all three were huge upgrades over their predecessors. The first Rainbow album was okay, but Rising and Live on stage were amazing and it was as much due to these three guys as it was to the big names Dio and Blackmore.
6)Matt Sorum for Steven Adler, Guns and Roses, 1990
G-n-R were on the verge of being huge and they knew it. This wasn't playing on the strip anymore so having an amateur drummer with major substance problems wasn't going to cut it. They brought in a pro and the difference showed. Besides they had enough problems with a singer who couldn't start shows on time so at least they cut their problems down to one.
5)Ian Gillan for Rod Evans, Deep Purple, 1969
Rod Evans was a very good singer both with Purple and with Captain Beyond. However, I think Gillan had a more unique voice and he just fit in well with the direction the band was taking.
4)Adrian Smith for Dennis Stratton, Iron Maiden, 1980
This change created the best heavy metal guitar duo of all time as Smith came in and just made magic with Dave Murray.
3)Joey Belladonna for Neil Turbin, Anthrax, 1985
The right decision at the right time rocketed Anthrax to the top of the scene. Turbin sounded like a dozen other guys playing the scene while Belladonna was one of a kind.
2)Neil Peart for John Rutsey, Rush, 1974
Neil Peart in for anyone would be an upgrade. Just an incredible drummer and a great writer. Where would Rush have been without him?
1)Bruce Dickinson for Paul Dianno, Iron Maiden, 1981
Don't get me wrong, I really liked Paul Dianno and he did a lot for this band in the early stages. The Smith change was the first step and this was the last step towards setting this band up to be the best heavy metal band of the 1980's and one of if not the best of all time. Dianno was about attitude, but Dickinson gave them the range that allowed them to do so much more musically.
So there are the upgrades to go along with the downgrades from yesterday.

I want to share a poem I wrote 🙂
My Prayer..
"O Allah, place light in my heart, and on my tongue light, and in my ears light and in my sight light, and above me light, and below me light, and to my right light, and to my left light, and before me light and behind me light. Place in my soul light. Magnify for me light, and amplify for me light. Make for me light and make me a light. O Allah, grant me light, and place light in my nerves, and in my body light and in my blood light and in my hair light and in my skin light." Ameen

The foolproof tip of the day for everyone else!
(",) My Mum always says that
you should marry someone
who loves you more than you
love him, because that man
would never ever make you cry
or be the reason that your
sheding tears. He would do
anything to always keep you
happy and satisfied (",)
(",) Your heart is mine and mine is yours, and so it`s been since I`ve known love`s true meaning itself, holding each others hand we stand together beneath the lovely sky, gazing towards the same destiny, just U and I (",)

Herpes Zoster ShinglesHerpes Zoster Shingles - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
What is herpes zoster?
Herpes zoster (shingles) is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person has had chickenpox, the virus lies dormant in the nerves, and in some people, becomes reactivated at some point in their lives, resulting in an outbreak of herpes zoster. People who received the chickenpox vaccine also have a small risk of herpes zoster. Herpes zoster is more common in people with a depressed immune system, and in people older than age 50. The virus usually results in a painful rash or small blisters on a strip of skin anywhere on the body. On some occasions, even after the rash is gone, the pain may continue for a prolonged period of time.
The incidence of herpes zoster occurring in children is low, but the risk of acquiring this disease increases with age. Children who have weakened immune systems may experience the same, or more severe, symptoms as adults. Children most at risk for herpes zoster are those who had chickenpox during the first year of life or whose mothers had chickenpox very late during pregnancy.
What are the symptoms of herpes zoster?
Herpes zoster most often occurs on the trunk and buttocks. However, it may appear on the arms, legs, or face. The following are the most common symptoms of herpes zoster. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Skin hypersensitivity and pain in the area where the herpes zoster appears
Mild rash, which appears after five days and first looks like small, red spots that turn into blisters
Blisters which turn yellow and dry
Rash which usually goes away in two to four weeks
Rash is usually localized to one side of the body
The symptoms of herpes zoster may resemble other skin conditions. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
How is herpes zoster diagnosed?
Diagnosis usually involves obtaining a medical history of your child and performing a physical examination. Diagnosis may also include:
Skin scrapings. Gently scraping the blisters to determine if the virus is shingles or another virus.
Blood tests
What is the treatment for herpes zoster?
Specific treatment for herpes zoster will be determined by your child's doctor based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the condition
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Medication may help alleviate some of the pain, but the disease has to run its course. Immediate treatment with antiviral drugs may help lessen some of the symptoms. Use of medication will be determined by your child's doctor based on the age of the child and the severity of the symptoms.

University of Hawai`i President MRC Greenwood today approved the selection of Jerry Chang, former Hawai`i state representative, as the new Director of University Relations at the University of Hawai`i at Hilo. Chang succeeds Gerald De Mello, who retired on December 31, 2012 after serving 21 years in that position. Chang's appointment begins January 11, 2013.
"I am very happy and excited to have Jerry join the UH Hilo `ohana, and know that he will be a tremendous asset," noted UH Hilo Chancellor Don Straney. "Jerry brings with him familiarity with the UH System, a broad range of legislative experience, and a thorough understanding of public policy issues, including the state's budgetary process. I am confident he will move into this position and make progress with little or no lag time."
Chang served as a Hawai`i state representative for over 20 years, beginning in 1989. He was chair of the House Tourism and Culture Committee from 2001-2007, chair of the House Higher Education Committee from 2007-2010, and most recently, chair of the Water, Land and Ocean Resources Committee.
Chang graduated from UH Hilo in 1978 with a B.A. in sociology, was a medical specialist with the U.S. Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Sergeant, E-5, and is active in numerous community, professional and business organizations.

So...in the quest to get more time away with the family, we're looking at fifth wheels. Have to get a comfortable one...and the more comfort we get, the less off-road capability we get. Probably looking at groomed dirt roads as the roughest.
Making it so much easier to get time away with the family will be great, but I want to make sure I can still get some hammock time in! So...does anyone here have experience combining hammocking with RVing?
Here are some thoughts of how to combine the two...
- RV in and use it as a base camp for a series of overnight backpacking trips. This would probably get the wife much more active in the kind of backpacking I want to do. Go out and rough it a little (for me), and then go back and take a shower (for her), repeat as necessary. Since we own the fifth wheel, the barriers (planning, mainly) for leaving on a trip will be much lower.
- Hang a hammock in the fifth wheel. Like I said, getting a decently comfortable RV is a requirement, which means expense is a consideration, and I'm not likely to rig up much of an indoor hanging solution. Possibly, but more possible that I'd just have a hammock stand to hang outside. (I'm sure I will also do that no matter what.) But...sleeping outside the RV kinda defeats the purpose of getting a nice fifth wheel in the first place. And the wife isn't as likely to enjoy time away together if I'm out in the hammock and she's alone in the bed.
So...anyone else with experience in this? Or links to other sites where folks discuss it?
I guess this is a good problem to have...I just don't want to give up hammock time just b/c we have a new toy!

It's important to be first. To get the first strike, to get the first out, to score the first run, to win the first game. So it's understandable why a sense of urgency has swept over the University of Florida softball team as it prepares for Texas A&M in NCAA Super Regional play this weekend.
The winner of the best-of-three affair advances to the Softball College World Series, an event reserved for the top eight teams in the land. Momentum has been generated, but now it must be maintained. A postseason depends upon it.
The first pitch is set for 7:30 p.m. and will be televised by ESPN.
"(The first game) is huge," UF coach Tim Walton said. "You look at our successes over the season and I look at where we're at. We won the first game of the SEC tournament. We won the first game of the regional. It's not dire, but I think it's pretty important."
Florida (49-20) has set a school record for victories and is thirsting for more as it enters its first Super Regional. The Gators' chances hinge on Stacey Nelson, their marvelous sophomore pitcher, who sports a 0.88 earned run average along with a school record 33 victories. She has 273 strikeouts against 68 walks.
The only concern at this point is durability. Nelson has logged 301.1 innings, second most in the Southeastern Conference this season.
"I think that's everyone's issue at this point," Walton said. "I think when you get to these big games, you rely a lot on adrenaline. The strength and conditioning program we have here is obviously very good. They're all young. They can sustain a lot of things, but you definitely start to worry about the injuries, not just in the pitching staff, but overall as well."
UF can usually rely on Nelson to be competitive, but sometimes the club struggles against quality pitching. Offensively, the Gators are paced by Kim Waleszonia (.365, 28 RBI), Melissa Zick (.312, 40 RBI), Ali Gardiner (.300, 40 RBI) and Mary Ratliff (.294, 28 RBI). Hits will tough to come by this weekend, so Gator batters will have to be resourceful.
"I always want us to hit better, but to me it's about productive at-bats," Walton said. "You can't throw at-bats away. I hate wasting at-bats. I hate going up there and swinging at the first pitch and it's a new pitcher when you haven't had a chance to see what's going on. To me, it's about being smart with your opportunities. It's not so much about having to get a hit every time, it's about getting quality at-bats. I think that's important this weekend. Last weekend we had some good at-bats, we had some clutch hits, so I think overall: Are we there yet? No. Are we better individually in some cases? Most definitely."
Texas A&M (44-11) is led by Megan Gibson (.391, 39 RBI, 11 HR), Sharonda McDonald (.391, 7 RBI, 37 SBs) and Amanda Scarborough (.346, 46 RBI, 7 HR). Scarborough (24-7, 1.04 ERA) and Gibson (17-4, 1.52 ERA) are the Aggies' top two pitchers.
"Florida has played a lot of really tough teams this year just as we have," A&M coach Jo Evans said. "Their pitcher, Nelson, does a very nice job and has a low ERA. She doesn't throw a ton of strikeouts, but gets outs. She has great accuracy and a nice changeup. They have speed, so they steal quite a few bases. Our team is similar in the sense that we have great pitching, great speed on the bases, and we have great experience. So our teams match up well."
McDonald, a center fielder, dominated regionals last weekend, with a 12-for-16 performance at the plate. She also stole five bases.
"I felt great at the plate," McDonald said. "I felt like my timing was perfect and that's a great thing for this time of the year."
Although the both teams appear evenly matched, the Aggies will be favored. Why? Home-field advantage. A&M is 25-3 in College Station this spring; 10-7 on the road, a disparity Walton recognizes.
"As a former baseball player and softball coach in the Big 12 and Big 8, I know exactly what the people of College Station and the people of Texas like about the Aggies," Walton said. "It doesn't matter what the record is like. They are going to support their team with blood, sweat and tears. I told them (Florida team) from day one that we can prepare for A&M. We can watch them on video, but the one thing I can't prepare you for is the crowd. On the flipside of that, that says a lot about where our sport has come. We have a lot of respect for what Texas A&M has done. They have laid the foundation for college softball, in my opinion. They are the grassroots of college softball."
Not that Florida is intimidated. Regular-season road success builds postseason confidence.
"No question," Walton said. "We beat Arizona. We beat Oregon. You look at and you say, 'Well if we come out of this tournament 2-3, then we've had a good weekend. We go 4-1. Stacey Nelson was unbelievable. She was great against Arizona. She was great against Oregon. She was great against New Mexico. I think that set the tone for us building up expectations."

A thunderstorm packing 30-mph gusts and heavy rain flooded streets and snapped tree limbs and power lines today, which caused scattered power outages in northwest Rockford.
As many as 950 ComEd customers were without power shortly after the storm arrived around noon. About 800 of those customers affected live in the village of Winnebago, ComEd spokesman Paul Callighan said.
The outage was short-lived. By 12:45 p.m., 17 customers were without power.
Northwest Fire responded at 12:21 p.m. to a report of a home possibly struck by lightning in the 6600 block of Halley Road. No injuries were reported, Winnebago County Sheriff's Sgt. Brian Harrison said.
The National Weather Service meteorologist Ben Deubelbeiss said rain totals varied from one-tenth of an inch at Chicago-Rockford International Airport to the 1½ inches in 40 minutes recorded by a weather spotter one mile northeast of Rockford.
Until today, Rockford had received 14.65 inches of rain since June 1; the normal amount is 11.93 inches.

Directed by: David Jackson
Kendra has a new gig. She's translating Japanese into English for Dr. Yukio Tanaka, a geneticist who is in Seattle to host a genetics conference at the Steinlitz Hotel. When Max learns that Tanaka turned a sickly baby into a healthy child by re-sequencing his DNA, she wonders if he might be able to help her with her seizures. She asks Logan for phony press credentials so that she can attend the conference. Despite his misgivings about "Dr. Feelgood," he acquiesces.
At the conference, Max introduces herself to Tanaka as Rachel Glasser, a reporter from BioTech Frontiers magazine. She impresses him with her knowledge of genetics before moving to Kendra and making sure her roommate doesn't blow her cover.
Tanaka begins his presentation, telling the attendees about Jude, a crack baby whose DNA was manipulated using groundbreaking gene-sequencing techniques; not only did Tanaka save Jude from his flawed genes, he turned the boy into a young genius. As Max watches footage of Jude's first years, she recalls her childhood training at Manticore. While she's ruminating, a man takes the empty seat next to her in the crowded auditorium. Lydecker.
Luckily, Lydecker doesn't recognize Max. As it turns out, he's also here to learn about Tanaka's work. Remembering Lydecker's own lessons on the importance of knowing one's enemy, Max tempers her revulsion and engages Lydecker in conversation as Rachel Glasser.
Suddenly, a commotion interrupts Tanaka's presentation and armed gunmen storm the conference room. Their leader, Jon Darius, proclaims that they are members of the May 22nd Movement, an anti-technology terrorist faction that takes its inspiration from the Unabomber, the ultimate technophobe. They are here to rescue Jude from those who would exploit him. Before the terrorists can make a quiet escape with the boy, Lydecker pulls the fire alarm. Authorities respond instantly, forcing Darius to take the conference-goers hostage.
Darius contacts the police and demands safe passage for himself, his colleagues, and the boy. He announces that he will kill a hostage an hour until his demands are met. Logan and Bling arrive at the Steinlitz just in time to witness the killing of the first hostage, Dr. Tanaka, who is flung from the roof of the hotel.
When Logan learns that Max is one of the hostages, he volunteers to act as an intermediary. Logan knows Darius - he interviewed the terrorist a few years ago - and thinks he may be able to gain his trust. As a gesture of goodwill, Darius agrees to release the female hostages, but only if Logan will take their place. The terrorists usher Max, Kendra and the other women to the exits as Logan enters. But Max isn't about to leave Logan and Jude in the hands of armed terrorists; hanging back, she takes out a terrorist and goes back to the auditorium.
Outside, the National Guard has taken control of the situation and is opting for aggressive measures. They land troops on the hotel roof and shoot terrorists at the entrances. Darius is furious; thinking he's been tricked, he orders Logan tossed from the roof as well. Darius' men throw Logan over the edge, but Max swoops in at the last possible moment, saving Logan from the same fate as Tanaka. The two smash through a hotel window and onto a bed, where they chastise each other for putting themselves in such danger. After an embarrassed silence, they agree to put the argument aside until later. Saving Jude and the others is the top priority.
Surprisingly, Max and Logan find an unexpected ally in Lydecker, who tries to save the day but is quickly overpowered by Darius' men. Ironically, Max winds up saving her nemesis' life. She takes out the remaining terrorists in the auditorium, then goes to find Jude, who has been whisked away by Darius. Max easily finds and knocks out Darius, then turns to the distraught Jude. Tanaka is the only family he has ever known: what will happen to him now? Max assures him that everything will be okay before taking him in her arms and to safety.
In the aftermath of the National Guard siege, Lydecker finds a group of soldiers mercilessly beating Darius. He reproaches them for violating Darius' right to due process - do they want Darius showing up for trial bruised and beaten? Of course not, the soldiers mutter. Neither does Lydecker; so he takes a soldier's pistol and shoots Darius dead. Problem solved.
That night, Max wonders if she did the right thing by saving Lydecker's life. Logan commends Max. She made the right choice, at least morally speaking. Max agrees, but can't help wonder what will happen the next time they cross paths.

Licensing has long played an important role in the cookbook category. While most of the action has been in brands and cooking shows that have been extended into licensed cookbooks, more recently quite a few characters and entertainment properties have entered the category, and those deals have resulted in some strong sales.
John Wiley, for example, has published three Sesame Street cookbooks since 2007, including "C" Is for Cooking, in English and Spanish editions. Nickelodeon has released Dora & Diego Let's Cook (also in English and Spanish versions) and SpongeBob's Kitchen Mission Cookbook.
Often children's cookbooks are one element of a broader licensed publishing program. Chronicle has released a handful of Star Wars cookbooks since 1998, starting with Wookiee Cookies, among many other Star Wars titles. It expanded into cooking kits this spring with Wookiee Pies, Clone Scones, and Other Galactic Goodies. "We have a history of success with cooking kits on the kids' and adults' side," said Ginee Seo, publishing director of Chronicle's children's group. "It makes sense to marry our licensed properties with an existing and successful format." Next up is a Star Wars ice pop kit, Ice Sabers, for fall 2013.
Also in fall 2013, Chronicle will publish a cookie kit for the Olivia animated TV show. "We're definitely looking for more licenses in this category," Seo said. "Whenever we acquire a new license, it will be a piece of the program." The company is in talks to add a cooking element to its Eric Carle program as it renegotiates that license.
Parragon has published cookbooks for Disney Princess and Winnie the Pooh as part of its greater Disney program. The books, released in 2011, feature recipes as well as interactive elements such as wipe-clean pages. And Publications International is starting to look at matching some of the licenses it holds through its children's division with its expertise in cookbooks, publishing Sesame Street print cookbooks and integrating the property into its digital iCookbook.
Other licensed cookbooks for kids have included Tom & Jerry learn-to-cook partworks from De Agostini in Europe, licensed by Warner Bros.; a storybook-with-recipes from Penguin for Kung Fu Panda 2, licensed by DreamWorks; and a Hello Kitty digital cookbook from Castle Builders, licensed by Sanrio.
Adult Appeal
Chronicle teamed with HBO for True Blood: Eats, Drinks, and Bites from Bon Temps, coming out this fall. "It was about seeing the opportunity in a really immersive show," said Lorena Jones, publishing director, food and drink, adding that the book was inspired, in part, by Grand Central's Sopranos Family Cookbook (2002). "You have a cuisine that's perennially popular, paired with a show where food and foodways are an important part of it. It's very much in-world, but it's also authentic bayou cooking."
Chronicle also has tied in with TV cooking shows, publishing its first title for Bravo's Top Chef in spring 2008. "Emerging home cooks were becoming more interesting to us," explained Jones. "They have a sophisticated palate, but not necessarily the skills to cook. This is our biggest growth segment, and it's a large part of the audience for Top Chef."
Other cookbooks are inspired by unscripted TV series that are not specifically cooking related. Earlier this year, Ballantine acquired the rights to In the Kitchen with David: A Classic Comfort Food Cookbook by David Venable, host of QVC's most popular show (see our Retail column). In 2013, Parragon is publishing a TLC cookbook, licensed by Discovery Communications, that reflects the network as a whole rather than a single show. The book's recipes will include favorite dishes from TLC personalities across TLC's schedule of cooking and noncooking programs.
Television series can have a short life span that makes them challenging for cookbooks. "TV is tricky," said Jim Childs, president and publisher of Oxmoor House, which publishes branded cookbooks. "We invest a lot in the market launch and in supporting the brand, and we want to make sure they backlist and last a long time."
On the other hand, as Jones pointed out, "A diverse list has everything, including these types of very frontlist-driven titles."
It should be noted that not all entertainment tie-ins in the cookbook category are official. Smart Pop Books published The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook earlier this year, while Adams Media has released unsanctioned Harry Potter and Hunger Games titles.
Brand Strength
Despite the growth in entertainment properties, traditional brands account for the bulk of licensed cookbook titles. "It's a foundational part of our program," said Natalie Chapman, Wiley's v-p and publisher, culinary, who reports that brands such as Better Homes & Gardens, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, and Weight Watchers account for about 50% of the company's cookbook program.
Brands bring recognition and longevity. The Betty Crocker flagship title, for example, has been published since the 1950s and is among the bestselling cookbooks of all time. "There's an enormous following of brand loyalists," Chapman said. "It's a real advantage in a market that is so competitive."
Trust is another benefit of brand licensing. "Brands have thoroughly and rigorously tested and vetted recipes that users trust," explained Jerry Croft, president of cooking and digital media at Publications International, which offers cookbooks tied to Crock-Pot (its biggest licensed program), Hershey, Kitchen-Aid, Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Sunbeam, and many others. "We find the relationship with the brands to be really excellent. They know what they're doing in their vertical area. Their brand equity is so important to them that they're not going to release anything that's not going to work for everyone."
Oxmoor House's entire cookbook program is branded, featuring Time Inc. properties such as Real Simple, Southern Living, Sunset, and MyRecipes, and outside brands including Gooseberry Patch, Lodge, and Weber. (The last is its most significant licensed line, with one title released per year since 2005, including Weber's Real Grilling, whose sales have exceeded one million copies.) "It's a diverse list that gives us everything from mass and trade paperbacks to nice higher-end, gift-oriented cookbooks," said Childs.
Marketing Muscle
In some cases, publishers can capitalize directly on licensors' marketing initiatives. "Companies like General Mills and Meredith have a savvy and sophisticated marketing machinery, strong social media outreach, state-of-the-art Web sites, and excellent relationships with retailers," said Chapman. Wiley coordinated with Meredith to place books in the licensed Better Homes & Gardens departments at Wal-Mart, and worked with General Mills to build a microsite on bettycrocker.com last fall—featuring 80 videos and 400 recipes available only to book buyers—to support the 11th edition of the Betty Crocker Cookbook.
Parragon promoted Entenmann's Big Book of Baking on QVC, with Entenmann's master baker, Kathleen Robbins, appearing on one of the segments. It also secured placement for the books adjacent to the Entenmann's Bake Shop sections in both Kroger and Wal-Mart. Meanwhile, it worked with Entenmann's to distribute e-book editions to the company's Facebook fans as well as direct sell-through channels. "We're happy to look at digital content to drive sales and help generate engagement for the brand," said Venetia Davie, Parragon's v-p, new business development.
What are the biggest problems in licensed cookbook publishing? "Schedules, primarily," said Jones. True Blood was in the middle of its TV season even as the book was being produced, and the title's release was timed to the end of the season. At the same time, the number of approvals is greater, since the TV production team and various network executives are involved. "It's a quick-moving process for all of us," Jones reported.
Understanding and fitting in with the licensor's core business is also important. "It's the publisher's job to be the brand steward in the book space," explained Chapman. "You have to respect the brand equity and make sure the book reflects the brand equity." In addition, the publisher must sometimes work hard to optimize the collaboration. "We think books are the most important thing in the world, but they think their products are the most important thing in the world," Chapman said.
Licensors are increasingly interested in extending their properties into cookbooks, and publishers say they're on the lookout for more licensing prospects as well. "We're looking for opportunities, both with licensing agents who approach us and with properties we're targeting that fit well with our core audience and values and mission, and work globally," said Wendy Friedman, Parragon's president, North America and Latin America. Added Childs: "I think brands are driving a lot of the positive growth in the category."

50% off until Aug 24
Designers: Alex Haigh
Design date: 2008
Publisher: Thinkdust
Ebisu is a sans serif family consisting of 10 different weights.
Designed by Alex Haigh in 2010, and influenced by one of his original designs from 2008 – Hiruko – Ebisu loses the soft sans serif curves, for a more robust geometric styling.
But it's much more than a geo-replica. The lowercase characters also have a more exaggerated sharpness that gives the whole family a unique look and feel. The kerning has been individually crafted for each letter, with vigorous attention – to ensure that each letter from is produced in a way that works with every member of the set, for a tightly knit sans serif family.
It speaks many languages too. The open type features have an extended character set to support Central, Eastern, and Western European languages. With each weight conveying a different personality, Ebisu is set to become the modern new sans serif family to sit alongside you classics for versatility, cleanliness and a crafted edge.

If Congress fails to pass a continuing resolution by Monday, the federal government will come to a standstill, shuttering "non-essential" services and operations that are deemed unnecessary for the safety of human life and national security. So while air traffic controllers will keep the planes in the sky, seniors will receive their Medicare and Social Security checks and the unemployed will continue to see benefits, other services will begin to dry up the longer the shutdown continues. Services that are not subject to yearly appropriations — so-called mandatory spending — will continue functioning and self-funding agencies like the Postal Services could still deliver mail.
But close to a million federal workers performing tasks that are deemed non-essential could be furloughed, leading to delays and shutdowns in the following services:
FINANCIAL SERVICES. The Small Business Administration will stop making loans, federal home loan guarantees will likely go on hold, and students applying for financial aid could also see delays and backlogs in applications.
ARMED FORCES. U.S. troops serving at home and abroad could stop receiving paychecks if the shutdown continues for an extended period and changes of station would also be delayed and facility and weapons maintenance would be suspended. Families back home would also be impacted.
HEALTH CARE. The National Institutes of Health will stop accepting new patients and delay or stop clinical trials. Medicare and the Veterans administration will continue paying out benefits, but new filers could face delays and doctors and hospitals may also have to wait for reimbursements.
PUBLIC SAFETY. The Environmental Protection Agency would stop reviewing environmental impact statements and food inspectors would stop conducting workplace inspections unless there is an imminent danger. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms could stop processing applications for permits.
SECURITY AND TRAVEL. The Department of Homeland Security would suspend the E-Verify program, which helps businesses determine the eligibility of employees, creating hiring delays. The State Department will also likely halt new passport and visa applications.
PARKS AND RECREATION. The National Park Service sites and the Smithsonian Institution will be shutdown. During the 1990s, 368 sites closed down and approximately 7 million visitors denied entry.
DISASTER RELIEF. In preparation for a potential shutdown, the Utah National Guard is holding off on sending a team to help rebuild areas in Colorado devastated by massive floods last week. More National Guard engineers are desperately needed to repair major roads and bridges in Colorado. Roughly 240 Colorado National Guardsmen currently working on flood missions are also in danger of losing funding.
NUTRITION FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN. Though food stamps will still be available in the event of a shutdown, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition program, a service meant to help new and expecting mothers and their young children get nutritious foods, will not. If a shutdown lasts for more than a few days, the roughly 9 million Americans who rely on WIC could see their assistance dry up, leaving them food-insecure.
All this will come at a price. The last two shutdowns during the Clinton era — one lasted six days in 1995 and another stretched 21 days at the end of 1995 and beginning of 1996 — cost the country 0.5 percentage points of gross domestic product (GDP) growth and more than $2 billion (in today's dollars) in unnecessary expenses — as government employees abandoned their jobs to prepare for the shutdown. Economists estimate that were a short-term shutdown to occur next month, it "would do significant economic damage, reducing real GDP by 1.4 percentage points." A two-month shutdown could "precipitate another recession."
This post has been updated to reflect the latest developments in the shutdown fight.

The new selfie fad first caught on in Japan, and involves opening your eyes wide and parting your lips slightly, like a baby bird waiting to be fed.
While the American version is not quite as extreme, the Sparrow Face has caught on with celebrities and Insta users such as Cara Delevingne, Kendall Jenner, Ashley Tisdale, Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian, and more. As you can see, the eyes vary from "bedroom" to more open, but the slightly pouty lips are the same. Somebody feed Kendall Jenner some worms, y'alls.

On March 2nd 2014 Flexcoin was attacked and robbed of all coins in the hot wallet. The attacker made off with 896 BTC, dividing them into these two addresses:
As Flexcoin does not have the resources, assets, or otherwise to come back from this loss, we are closing our doors immediately.Users who put their coins into cold storage will be contacted by Flexcoin and asked to verify their identity. Once identified, cold storage coins will be transferred out free of charge. Cold storage coins were held offline and not within reach of the attacker. All other users will be directed to Flexcoin's "Terms of service" located at "Flexcoin.com/118.html" a document which was agreed on, upon signing up with Flexcoin.
Flexcoin will attempt to work with law enforcement to trace the source of the hack.
Updates will be posted on twitter as soon as they become available.
During the investigation into stolen funds we have determined that the extent of the theft was enabled by a flaw within the front-end.
The attacker logged into the flexcoin front end from IP address 126.96.36.199 under a newly created username and deposited to address 1DSD3B3uS2wGZjZAwa2dqQ7M9v7Ajw2iLy
The coins were then left to sit until they had reached 6 confirmations.
The attacker then successfully exploited a flaw in the code which allows transfers between flexcoin users. By sending thousands of simultaneous requests, the attacker was able to "move" coins from one user account to another until the sending account was overdrawn, before balances were updated.
This was then repeated through multiple accounts, snowballing the amount, until the attacker withdrew the coins. (Here and Here)
Flexcoin has made every attempt to keep our servers as secure as possible, including regular testing. In our ~3 years of existence we have successfully repelled thousands of attacks. But in the end, this was simply not enough.
Having this be the demise of our small company, after the endless hours of work we've put in, was never our intent. We've failed our customers, our business, and ultimatley the Bitcoin community.
Please direct any and all questions to admin(at)flexcoin(dot)com and we will reply to you as soon as possible.

It's a question that has generated debate among whiskey enthusiasts for years. How important is the age of your whiskey? The default enthusiast answer, one that I've given many times myself, is that older isn't necessarily better, just more expensive. We can all ring off examples of whiskeys that we like better at a younger age as well as examples of older whiskeys that were caustic and over-oaked. But is this really a rationale or are these examples just our own confirmation bias, anecdotes that stick with us because they support our preexisting beliefs?
The whiskey industry is predictably unhelpful in this matter. They want us to believe that their super-aged bottlings are worth the high prices, but they also claim age really isn't that important whenever they drop an age statement.
But how important is age really? I thought I would dive deeper into the question by looking at how important it is to me, statistically speaking. When I look at my own ratings on the LA Whiskey Society site, I've given 92 A or A- grades out of 740 whiskies I've rated. I'm pretty stingy with my A range, reserving it for the whiskeys that truly blow me away. I broke down those top grades by age to determine the percentage of A/A- grades for different age statements (I didn't count NAS whiskeys). Here are my results:
- Age 0-5 years: 3% A/A-
- Age 6-10 years: 5% A/A-
- Age 11-19 years: 13% A/A-
- Age 20-29 years: 22% A/A-
- Age 30-39 years: 25% A/A-
- Age 40 and over: 60% A/A-
Now, this doesn't mean that there aren't very good young whiskeys. Even among the zero to five year olds, I gave 3% A range grades, and of course it doesn't mean their aren't some well aged stinkers. There is a 39 year old that I awarded a C+.
And this little chart is far from a scientifically controlled study. Some of these tastings were blind and some weren't. The sample probably has some bias as well; I'm more likely to make the much more considerable investment in a very old whiskey if I hear something positive about it, whereas I don't mind taking a chance on a cheaper, younger whiskey, even if I have no idea what it's like, which may mean that I'm sampling a better crop of whiskeys at the higher price points (which tend to be older). And of course, I tend to like old whiskey and probably have a higher tolerance for the woodiness that comes with age than some other whiskey fans.
Even with these caveats, when I look at these numbers, it's hard for me to deny the importance of age at least for my own palate. While older may not always be better, the older a whiskey is, the more likely it is to be truly outstanding.

February 5 2013 | Latest News"Economic impact of the Super Bowl is expected to be $430 million..."
February 4, 2013
Katie Moore / Eyewitness News
NEW ORLEANS -- The Super Bowl is over and people all across the city are assessing the impact that it had on New Orleans.
Everyone from business owners to locals to tourists wanted to be a part of the event, and all indications are they were. In fact, the number of visitors may have exceeded expectations.
Sites that were bustling with tourists over the weekend were covered with work crews Monday morning.
At the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, crews worked little-by-little to deconstruct the things that were built for the big game, and they only have about a week to do it.
Restaurants like Lucy's Retired Surfer Bar and Restaurant are still reaping the benefits from the Super Bowl, but by Monday it was with bloody marys instead of beer.
"At our highest volume, we do an enormous amount of beer, obviously. So, when we did our order on Friday anticipating what we were gonna do, thought we had everything covered. Saturday morning had to have another 200 cases of beer delivered," said Deborah Schumacher, general manager of Lucy's.
They had 150 more delivered on Sunday. But they weren't the only ones who may have underestimated the impact.
"We thought we would see about 150,000 people in the city throughout the Super Bowl week, and the fact that we had that many people coming down to Woldenberg Park, we think that those numbers will creep up and be over 150,000," said Mark Romig, the executive director of the New Orleans Tourism and Marketing Corporation.
Economic impact of the Super Bowl is expected to be $430 million. Romig said those estimates will be verified in the coming days.
"It was nuts. We were having a great time. Until they threw us out," said Dan Basil, a fan of the Baltimore Ravens who attended the game and then headed out to Lucy's afterward.
He was one of the many football fans eating out Monday after partying into the wee hours of the morning. The bar did four times the business of a normal weekend.
"I would have to say it was a phenomenal experience, not just for the people who live here, but for the people that came in from out of town," Schumacher said.
City leaders didn't respond to our requests for information about how the city, including the New Orleans Police Department, handled the response to the Super Bowl.

Mr. Speaker, I am not going to question what the member is saying, but Winnipeg had the good fortune of having a brand new air terminal put in at a cost of several hundreds of millions of dollars.
It would be worth looking at what the actual cost would be. I agree with the member that Lloyd Axworthy and Reg Alcock were high-calibre Liberal members of Parliament. I suspect that their numbers would have been accurate for that time.
This is something I would be most interested in pursuing. I look forward to future discussions with the member for Winnipeg Centre.

A Decade of Wine in the Alley
You put your head on a pillow and a decade goes by.
It's been 10 years on Monday since Devany McNeill, Jed Rulon-Miller and Brad Mudge opened Wines Off Wynkoop in the half-forgotten alley between Dixons and the Tattered Cover. I wouldn't have given it 10 minutes.
McNeill left after five years, but Jed and Brad still toil at the wine store — and celebrate Monday with 20% off and 10% off the rest of the week.
"You have to give a lot of the credit to Devany," Jed said. "She started it and promoted it. We became known, even though we were tucked away in the alley. I wouldn't have thought in '97 that I'd still be here — but here we are."

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1: An Ironworks in New England
The Saugus Iron Works has been called the forerunner of American big business. It was an iron factory that converted raw iron ore into finished cast- and wrought-iron products. The process used to make these products was complicated and involved many separate steps. First, the raw materials for making iron were gathered near the blast furnace (see Drawing 1), which operated day and night. Colliers converted acres of trees into charcoal for fuel. Miners collected bog iron ore from nearby swampy areas and ponds. Flux, a mineral that rids bog ore of its impurities, was shipped from Nahant.
Charcoal, bog ore, and flux were dumped into the top of the stone furnace by workers called "fillers." The furnace was fired up, or "blown in" as the ironworkers called it. Beside the furnace rumbled one of the seven waterwheels at the ironworks which operated 18-foot bellows that helped to heat the furnace to a temperature of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The liquid metal collected at the bottom of the furnace. Ironworkers had to continually skim the slag floating on top of the molten iron and dump it into the river. Once or twice in every 24 hours, the furnace was tapped by the "founder," the man in control of the furnace. The molten iron ran into trenches in the sand where it hardened into long cast iron bars. Smaller bars were poured off at an angle from the long bars. The configuration looked much like a mother pig feeding her piglets, so the long bar was called a "sow" and the smaller ones "pigs." Pig iron is another name for cast iron. Not all of the iron was cast into bars--skilled moulders were employed to make molds of items such as pots, pans, and kettles. Workers ladled liquid iron into these molds, which were buried in the sand floor of the casting shed. Cast iron is limited in use because it is brittle. Therefore, the cast-iron sows, which were the main product of the furnace, were taken to the forge (see Drawing 1) for refining.
With three fires crackling, four of the ironworks' waterwheels turning, three sets of bellows whooshing, and the 500-pound hammer crashing repeatedly on its anvil, the forge was the busiest and the noisiest of the ironworks buildings. There some 10 to 12 men worked to convert brittle cast iron into malleable wrought iron, a complicated process that required a high degree of skill. First, "finers" melted and refined sows. Repeated heating and hammering pounded many impurities from the iron. Flying sparks and pieces of hot metal constantly threatened men working in the forge. The noise of the 500-pound hammer cost many workers their hearing. The bulk of the iron at the forge was made into "merchant bars," three inches wide, one-and-a-half inches thick, and four to five feet long, which could be made into tools and used for building materials.
The rolling and slitting mill (see Drawing 1), situated just down the hill from the forge, contained the most advanced technology of all the machinery at the ironworks. It was one of only a dozen slitting mills in the world at that time. Its essential machinery consisted of a pair of rollers for flattening the merchant bars into sheets called "flats" and a pair of slitters for slicing the flats into thin strips of rod used to make nails. The rollers and slitters had to turn in opposite directions in order for the bars to pass through them. The "mill wright," who operated the waterwheels, made sure the rollers and slitters operated at the same rate of speed. One waterwheel directly turned the lower set of rollers and slitters; the second waterwheel used gears to turn the top set. Flats produced here were used for making wheel rims, barrel hoops, and for repairing machinery at other ironworks. The nail rods provided the material for handmade nails, a valuable commodity in colonial America. These products were stored in an "ironhouse" or warehouse (see Drawing 1) until being loaded onto boats and shipped to either nearby American ports or to England.
Although the Saugus Iron Works operated for about 22 years, it eventually went out of business, a victim of mismanagement, high production costs, fixed prices, and competition from imported iron. The Saugus Iron Works produced respectable quantities of bar iron, but could not return a profit to its shareholders, who finally refused to advance more capital to the failing enterprise. The company's debts became so great that creditors brought suits to recover their loans. Court decisions caused production to decline and skilled workers to leave.
Records show that some ironworkers moved to different regions of New England where they continued to work in the iron industry. For example, James Leonard, who had been a forge worker at Saugus, became the manager of a forge in Bromingum in 1671 and a freeman (landowner) in 1688. Joseph Jenks, Jr., the son of a skilled craftsman, also worked at Saugus, beginning in 1649 when he was 16; in 1672 he erected his own forge at Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Others found jobs at established ironworks in New Jersey. Thus, it can be said that although Saugus Iron Works ultimately failed as an individual enterprise, it helped to lay the foundations for the iron and steel industry in the United States.
Questions for Reading 1
1. What were the three structures where ironmaking took place?
2. What were the saleable wrought-iron products manufactured at the ironworks? What would these semi-finished wrought-iron products be used for?
3. Why did the ironworks go out of business? What happened to the workers?
4. What influences did Saugus Iron Works have on the Massachusetts Bay Colony? Did the impact reach any further?

NB: 26⅔ Imperial fluid ounces = 1⅓ Imperial pints ≈ 75.768 cl; 24 Imperial fluid ounces ≈ 68.191 cl.[img]http://www.thewinesociety.com/images/logo.gif[/img] In May 1980 [url=http://www.thewinesociety.com/]The Wine Society[/url] wrote: Bottle size
In common with the rest of wine merchants, the Society continues to use 70 cl content bottles for most of its own bottlings of fortified and table wines. The 1976 and 1975 clarets, bottled in 73 cl content, are exceptions. The reason for this is that 75 cl content bottles, which we hope will eventually become normal, have been very difficult and expensive to obtain in this country, since there is little demand for them from the larger firms. The Australians, Californians and South Africans use 75 cl content; and some French, Italian, and German bottlers do, as marked in the list, although 70 cl is more common in Italy and Germany and 73 cl in Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Loire. Our Alsace wines come in 70 cl content bottles and the standard Champagne bottle holds 75 cl, Eastern Europe and Spain usually bottle in 70 cl, unless indicated. Whisky, Gin and Vodka will be bottled in 75 cl fractionally less than the old 26⅔ fl.oz size; Cognac is bottled in 70 cl, the old 24 fl oz, as is traditional.

It has seemed an unnecessary extravagance for some time to keep stocks of two sizes of all the Society's liqueurs. In future, therefore, all the Society's liqueurs will be bottled in 50cl bottles, which, we believe, members will find the most usable size. 75cl bottles and 37.5cl half bottles currently in use for the liqueurs on page 63 of the Spring list will be offered until stocks are exhausted, when automatically they will be replaced by the new 50cl size.
