right on highway 50,just look for the sign and definitely stop for a view and to take some pictures. It's just a beautiful area for sure.
If you just want to stop and see beautiful views of Lake Tahoe, Logan Shoals is a wonderful stop. We were looking for a little more of a hike. Not far from Logan Shoals is Sand Harbor. Sand Harbor was gorgeous and makes for beautiful pictures.
This is a great vista point located in South Lake Tahoe. Amazing views of the lake, trees, and mountains. This spot is definitely worth the time for taking a hiking trail down toward the lake and for picture taking.
Cool place for pics and an easy drive up/short walk. I recommend this place for all ages but I would advise parents to keep an eye on their children.
This is the second time we've stopped at this viewpoint. It is clearly marked on Hwy 50, just north of Cave Rock. The parking is convenient. You can see the tunnel through Cave Rock if you look carefully through the trees. The view northward is also beautiful. The viewpoint has been greatly improved in the past couple of years. It... More
Amazing views of Lake Tahoe and a great place for a small wedding. Very intimate spot with a few trails down and around the water. 100% worth a 10 minute stop for photos and worth a more time to venture around stick you feet in the water and drink a beverage.
Great photo stop. Excellent view of the lake and coast line. You can also see cave rock. No parking fee, just a pull off north of the cave rock tunnel on the coast road. Limited parking. Very short walk to viewing spots and few stairs. Much easier to get too if you are heading south.
Our last stop on our drive around Lake Tahoe (counter clockwise). Great view of the Cave Rock before driving thru it. Perfect spot to take pictures at the rock formation with the Cave Rock in the background. Be sure to take the tiny trail on the right; it takes you to a point below the rock pile, a good vantage...

Beautiful backdrop for a romantic sunset wedding. We were married there on 08/08/08 and return every year on our anniversary!
This is for me one of the nicest place from where to view Lake Tahoe, just by the Highway 50, easy to park your car. Then a short walk and there is this beautiful vista trail overlooking the gorgeous Lake. Seriously recommended.
How can I get information on booking Logan Shoals? Thank you!

A 15-year-old boy was shot in the hand this week, but police say he's not cooperating with their investigation.
A friend of the Lawrence boy took him to Lawrence Memorial Hospital Wednesday night, and doctors called police because they are required to report gunshot wounds. Although he answered questions at first, Detective John Lewis said he became evasive when police began to dissect his story.
Police became suspicious when he said he was shot at 10th and Michigan, an intersection which doesn't exist in Lawrence.
``Obviously, somebody shot him,'' Lewis said, ``but it's still under investigation.''
The boy told police that a white male with blond hair, between the ages of 18 and 25 and about 5-feet, 8-inches tall shot him. The wounded by told police a friend who happened to be driving by picked him up in the 900 block of Michigan and drove him to the hospital.
The boy was treated and released from the hospital.
No one has been arrested in the case, and Lewis said it's unknown if the description given to police is accurate.

Teaching Kids the Value of MoneyMy husband and I have a 12-year-old daughter who wanted to go to a winter retreat with her church youth group last year. Price of trip � $45. I told her I'd talk to her dad about it. "HOW much is it?" he asked, "didn't she just go somewhere with the youth group?" "Yes," I replied, "and also to two friends' birthday parties. Another one is coming up this weekend." We both agreed that was a lot of money for us to spend for our daughter to have fun with her friends. But the retreat was a church activity. So we should have forked out the money for her go, right? Well, maybe. In the past year or so our daughter had made a lot of new friends and had been asked to be involved in a lot of new social activities. Last summer was the first year we could afford to let her go to summer camp for a week. It pleased me more than anything to tell her she could go. The more we've let our daughter go do things with her friends, the more she takes those things for granted, and expects more. She then resents doing something so menial as her household chores. So now we make sure her chores are done before she goes anywhere. "Room's not clean, laundry not started? Better hurry and do them before you go do something with your friends. Don't have time? Then I guess you're out of luck." But that was only the start. Whenever the attitude starts in she's given a warning and then privileges start being taken away, one by one. You have to figure out what works for you. You may have to teach each child individually, because each is motivated differently. If your children cheerfully hand over their allowance every time they don't take out the garbage, you should take some other privilege away. Resist the urge to give your children too much allowance. Don't buy them things that they can save money for themselves, like designer clothes, CD's, magazines, make up, video games, etc. Even young children can be taught to save for small things. Almost nothing makes me more sad than seeing children who take their allowances for granted and never have to work for it. Parents aren't doing their children any favors by teaching them to expect everything to be handed to them. We sacrifice, and they don't appreciate it. Why should they? They don't have anything to lose. So did our daughter get to go on her retreat? We decided she could go if she paid $20 of the $45. She was not happy about it. She only gets $3 a week allowance, and she was saving her money for a new CD. She stewed about it for awhile, and then forked over what money she had. We worked out a payment schedule for her to come up with the rest of the money before the weekend of the retreat, and we let her do extra chores to earn a few more dollars. Are we guilty of child abuse? Our daughter thinks so, but her dad and I know better.

OMG! You! look! so! cute! in! dresses!
I definitely vote for a Red Theme this year. - cindywJuly 31, 2010 at 8:55 AM
So, basically, you own more dresses in 1 color than I own total. Which I guess is because I don't really have the right figure for dresses and you totally do. Because all of those look super-cute on you.
P.S. I get to see you in 5 days! Squee! - grace134July 31, 2010 at 8:57 AM
I don't have the right figure for pants or skirts. Pants always hit me weird and are too long or make my legs look like stove pipes or something. Skirts always ride up to ABOVE my natural waist and just look....bizarre.
Also? FIVE DAYS OMG.

Do you want your 2010-2013 Mustang to look a little like Vaughn Gittin, Jr.'s popular RTR Mustangs? You can add this RTR Rear Spoiler, like we just did to Gotta Have It Street!
What a weekend for the Gotta Have Builds team! After setting some new records last month in Milan, MI, the team took Gotta Have It Race to Joliet, IL with winning the NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl of Street Legal Drag Racing in mind.
As exhaust gases circulate in your new Mustang's engine, you want to keep any oil that might be mixed in where it belongs: Out of your intake manifold. With JLT's oil separators, you can very simply and easily protect your intake manifold and your investment.
Our main goal with Gotta Have It Street is to make it into a true street performance Mustang that can drive on the street, perform at the drag strip AND still handle great. This past weekend finally gave us a chance to test out how it handles.
After a few more changes for Gotta Have It Street, it was time to see how these performance upgrades would translate on the dyno!
With the stock control arms providing lots of instability and erratic handling on the drag strip, we had to give Gotta Have It Race a lot more stability and performance for racing by using BMR's Rear Lower Control Arms and Relocation Brackets!

We ordered our wedding invitations and RSVP cards from SmartPress. From the beginning, after I submitted my print, I received a response immediately. The reply was quick and painless. The interface on the ordering form was easy to use. The invitation came out beautifully and the colors were accurate and authentic to our digital print. I would recommend them if you want good service for good quality. Although we are in California, the invitations did not take very long to arrive.

Algae problem has me pulling 'hair" out!

Things have changed, haven't they? When I set up my planted tank in the 1990's I had to glean tidbits from FAMA and TFH and there sure wasn't much. Library and bookstores had zip, my old 1960's Axelrod 3 ring binder thing was better than most of what was there.
Feed the plants! With a bright CO2 enriched tank the fish poop is unlikely to provide enough of the essentials to grow strong plants that won't allow algae to land and grow. See the crypt leaf? It is on its way out and that is why the algae could grow. Trim any damaged leaves you see, they will just serve as places for algae to grow. Look at the Fertilizer and Water forum's sticky thread to see how to and get a set of dry fertilizers so your plants have all they need to grow. Excess nutrients don't cause algae, they help the plants to grow strong and healthy! I have no green spot algae because I dose a lot of phosphate [understand that is in combination with all the CO2 the tank gets as well] and ended a horrible siege of green water by dosing nitrate. Alas that never helped again but low nitrate was the reason I had that particular case of green water.
Do cut the hairgrass back to the substrate best you can. It does brilliantly trimmed, better than a lawn as the tips don't even turn brown! While it is short go ahead and vacuum the area as hairgrass traps debris and sometimes that encourages algae.
If the microsword hasn't been in the tank long I would pull it out, sit down and pick out all the wiry stuff then replant the clean microsword. This will be very nitpicky and annoying and you will likely end up with individual plantlets that need to be replanted using tweezers. I have had tiny colonies of clado rarely so I don't remember if it attaches firmly or not. If you are lucky it isn't attached just winds around the plants. Next best would be if it does attach but each algal plant winds around and is only attached in a few spots.
Last time I had staghorn I zapped it with Excel and moved the powerhead to blow across the area. It turned pink and then the otos and platies ate it all up. Might consider investing in a bottle of the stuff. You dose it by turning off the pumps so the water is still and use a syringe to squirt on problem areas. I use about 1.5 ml per 10 gallons. Let the tank sit for about 20 minutes then turn on the pumps. The red algae like staghorn and BBA will turn red and then the fish can eat it. Otherwise it dissolves over a long period of time. That stuff is tough and takes a long time to decay. I don't know if it kills clado or green thread as I haven't ever had a problem with them. Pick out as much as you can before dosing though, no point in killing algae on dying leaves!
In summary. Find out about fertilizing and get a set of powders. Remove damaged material including mowing the hairgrass. Clean the substrate of debris and be sure your filter is in good order. Pull out as much as you can off plants you need to save. Consider using Seachem Excel to zap spots you cannot remove.

West Africa
Asia Tankers-VLCC Weighed by Excess Tonnage
MidEast, West Africa rates diverge; oil output curbs in Iraq and West Africa could weigh on tanker market. Freight rates for very large crude carriers (VLCCs) are likely to remain under pressure with hire rates from the Middle East to Asia tracking lower in the face of excess tonnage in the market, brokers said. Cuts in the output from Iraq and West Africa this month as part of an agreement between oil producers to curb crude production to bolster oil prices are also expected to weigh on the tanker market as the number of voyages are curtailed, brokers said. "Older, cheaper ships are workable out of the Middle East rather than West Africa, that's why we see slightly higher rates from West Africa," said Ashok Sharma, managing director of ship broker BRS Baxi in Singapore. Typically, shipowners discount rates for older vessels, while oil majors in West Africa limit charters to more modern ships. Supertanker charter rates have diverged over the last week with prices from the Middle East to Asia nudging lower while freight rates from West Africa climbed to their highest since Feb. 28. "The disparity in rates between modern and old ships remains while rates for the longer voyages like West Africa/East have been better maintained," said Norwegian ship broker Fearnley in a note on Wednesday.
Topaz Secures another West Africa Contract

This contract comes on the back of several recent contract wins in West Africa and further strengthens

BUILDING COMPONENTS Filed Marh 16, 19s? INVENT0R.. HOWARD (1. W000 BY (JAMES 14. GREINE'R ATTORNEYS United States Patent 3,416,277 BUILDING COMPONENTS Howard J. Wood, 1456 Sunset Point Road 33515, and James A. Greiner, 1263 Flushing Drive, Clearwater, Fla. 33516 Filed Mar. 16, 1967, Ser. No. 623,754 6 Claims. (Cl. 52-300) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Building components for the erection of vaults, cesspools, settling tanks, sludge tanks, reservoirs for water or grain and the like which consist of precast panels with key joints in the edges joined by stress keys into a wall structure and a template which sits on top of said joined panels to align and to strengthen the erected structure.
This invention relates to improved building components and to the method for erecting such components into strong, structures such as walls, vaults, cesspools, settling tanks, sludge tanks, reservoirs for water or grain and the like. More particularly, this invention relates to improved pre-formed or pre-cast building components, and to the means for erecting same, whereby an integral building structure can be obtained.
It has been the generally standard practice to erect structures such as sludge tanks by casting them in situ. In so doing, a concrete base is first poured and permitted to set up or cure. Then, the walls forming the tank are cast to complete the structure.
Occasionally, attempts are made at pre-casting the side walls and then joining them. The following patents teach such: 1,617,527, 1,877,898, 2,144,630, 2,644,997, and 2,844,848.
Unfortunately, when such approaches are used to build vaults, cesspools, settling tanks, sludge tanks, water reservoirs and the like, it is generally found that water tends to seep through the joints between the panels. Also, it is found that it is extremely difficult to maintain the wall panels in lateral alignment. The greater the depth of the side wall and the longer its length, the more difiicult it becomes to contain the internal pressure of the sludge. The wall panels tend to bow outwardly at the joints. Obviously when this happens, the leakage becomes even more acute. Indeed, there is considerable danger of the tank collapsing.
An object of this invention is to provide building components and methods for erecting them whereby improved building structures are obtained.
Another object is to provide a pre-cast panel and a method for affixing them together so as to provide a watertight joint between them.
Still another object is to provide an improved method for erecting such pre-cast panels, whereby lateral misalignment will be prevented.
A further object is to provide improved pre-cast panels which can be erected into an integral building structure easier and quicker than heretofore.
A still further object is to provide improved pre-cast panels and methods for erecting them into a structure, whereby the completed structure reacts as an integral unit.
Another object is to provide improved methods for erecting a structure of pre-cast panels which are affixed together. In this respect, it is further contemplated that any stress exerted on the joints between the wall panels be transmitted throughout the entire panel or panels.
Another object is to provide improved methods for erecting a structure of precast panels wherein only the first few panels erected require lateral bracing, the joints "ice between the panels being strong enough to support the panels thereafter without additional aid.
Another object is to provide improved pre-cast panels and methods for erecting them, whereby a structure which is stronger and sturdier than heretofore generally believed possible is provided.
The invention accordingly comprises the several steps and the relation of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others and the apparatus embodying features of construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts which are adapted to effect such steps, all as exemplified in the following detailed disclosure, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
The above objectives are accomplished by pre-casting panels, preferably of concrete or the like, with a key-joint of predetermined configuration in each of their side edges. After an appropriate base or support for the wall panels has been formed, the wall panels are erected by standing them on end and inserting a stress key into the key-joints of abutting panels. The key-joints and the stress keys are of a design to thereafter permit a grout mix to be poured into the key-joints, and when the grout mix sets or cures, a virtually water-tight joint between abutting panels is provided. Stress-key locks used with said joints function to transmit any stress on the joint through the entire panel or panels, so that a mechanically sound joint is provided.
Alignment templates which are generally elongated, substantially rectangular-shaped pre-cast slabs are aflixed atop the panels in a fashion such as to overlap the joints between the panels. Each template has a slot formed in its bottom wall which substantially corresponds to the width or thickness of the panels, for assisting in seating the template atop the panels. Also, a substantially wider slot or recess is formed in the top face of the template, which is filled with concrete, after all the templates have mounted, to form essentially an integral building structure. The templates perform the dual function of laterally aligning the panels and of forming a cap-walk about the top of the panels. When erected in this manner, the joints between the pre-cast wall panels are virtually water-tight and the entire structure reacts as an integral unit. It should be apparent that the components and the methods of the invention are equally applicable for constructing numerous structures of circular, square, rectangular or other configurations.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a sludge tank, assembled in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view, partially cut away to illustrate the key-joint, the stress key used to afiix the panels together, and the stress-key lock;
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a portion of two panels, illustrating the manner in which the key-joints and stresskey locks are formed in their end edges;
FIG. 4 is a partial side plan view of two joined panels, illustrating the manner in which the key-joints, stress keys, and stress-key locks function to tightly join the panels together;
FIG. 5 is a partial top plan view of two joined panels, illustrating the joint formed between them;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken transversely through the wall of FIG. 1, illustrating the construction of and the manner in which a template is afiixed atop the wall panels; and
FIGS. 7-9 are partial top plan views illustrating alternative constructions for the templates.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views of the drawing.
Referring now to the drawing, in FIG. 1 there is shown a portion of a wall which wall may comprise a side wall of, for example, a settling tank, and which is formed and erected in accordance with the present invention, as fully described below. The wall 10 is erected on a base 12 of suitable construction and is formed of a number of pre-forrned or pre-cast concrete wall panels 14. A triangular-shaped fillet 16 is poured along the base of the wall 10, on the interior side thereof, to form a strong bottom joint. A similar fillet also can be poured along the base on the exterior side thereof, for additional strength and support, if desired. A cap-walk 18 is formed along the top of the wall 10, and a handrail 20 can be provided along one or both sides of the cap-walk.
In order to prevent leakage and to provide a strong joint between the wall panels 14, a key-joint 22 (FIG. 3) is formed in each of the two side edges of the wall panels, during the pre-casting operation. In the illustrated case, the key-joints 22 are in the form of a slot 24 having side walls 26 which taper inwardly toward one another, from the edge of the wall panel, and join with the side wall of a cylindrical-shaped aperture 28 in a manner so as to leave an arcuate portion of the apertures side wall open. The slot 24 and the aperture 28 extend along the entire length of the edge of the wall panel. The aperture 28 preferably is formed by pre-casting the concrete or other like-hardenable substances about a stress-key lock 30 (FIG. 2) which is a tube 32 with a longitudinal slot 34 therein. The side walls 26 of the slot 24 preferably taper inwardly to the tube 32, to points on each of the respective sides of the slot 34, as illustrated in FIG. 3. This makes for a reinforced key-joint with the stress mostly on the tube 32.
Reinforcing rods 36 also are preferably included in the panels 14, and the ends thereof are preferably affixed, as by welding, to the tubes 32. Thus, any stress at the joints between the wall panels is transmitted throughout each of the entire wall panels, as explained more fully below.
In erecting the panels 14, they are vertically erected on base 12, with the two side edges which are to be joined, abutted together. A stress key 40, with two vertical lock arms, such as tubes 41 and 42 (or rods, or bars), afiixed together in spaced relation by a spacer bar 44, next is inserted into the key-joints 22 in the two wall panels. The spacing between the tubes 41 and 42 is such that the edges of the wall panels are tightly drawn together when the tubes 41 and 42 are driven, respectively, into the tubes 32 in the wall panels. Indeed, the tubes may even be tapered toward each other, if desired, to assist in drawing the edges of the joined panels together.
The length of the stress key 40 may correspond to the height of the wall panels 14 so that only one stress key is used. Preferably however, a number of short stress keys 40 are used, each being driven into the key-joint and stress-key locks 30 one at a time with a wooden mallet or drive member, such as a 2" x 4" member. Stress keys of this latter type are much easier to handle, store and transport and, furthermore, are far less difficult to insert since the initial lateral alignment of the panels is not as critical as would be with a longer length stress key.
The stress keys 40 can be of various sizes. For example, in constructing the walls of a settling tank stress keys formed of standard 1 /2" steel pipes aflixed together in spaced relation with steel bars having dimensions of 10" x 2 /2 x V2" were used and found to be entirely satisfactory. The tubes 41 and 42 of the stress keys need not be circular, for square, rectangular and triangularshaped, as well as other shaped tubes, can be used. In such cases, the tubes 32 of the stress key locks 30, of course, are correspondingly shaped.
After the stress keys 40 have been inserted into the stress-key locks 30, to erect the wall panels 14, a number of templates 50 (FIGS. 1 and 6) are placed along the top of them and are thereafter joined together, in the manner described below, to form an integral cap-walk structure. The templates 50 are substantially rectangularshaped, pre-cast concrete slabs which have a recessed cavity 52 (FIG. 6) in the top wall 54 thereof that extends along its length and centrally across a substantial portion of its width. The bottom wall of thetemplates 50 includes two sections 56 and 57 which taper angularly downward from the side walls 58 and join with a flat section 60 that is centrally positioned with respect to the vertical axis of the slab. Another recessed cavity 62 which has side walls that taper slightly inward and which is of a width that substantially corresponds to the thickness of the wall panels 14 is centrally formed in the flat section 60. The cavity 62 is of a depth such that the top of a wall panel will seat therein and the template will be securely supported atop of it. The tapered side walls of the cavity 62 assist in aligning the templates 50 atop the wall panels 14.
The templates 50 can be of the same length as the wall panels, and are placed on top of them so as to overlap the joints between them. By overlapping the joints in this manner, the templates function both to provide additional support for the joints and assist in maintaining the wall panels 14 in lateral alignment.
An aperture 68 which substantially corresponds in size and shape to the slots 24 in the abutted wall panels is formed in templates 50, in alignment with the slots 24. A heavy gauge mesh 70 is inserted through these apertures, into the slots 24. Thereafter, the slots 24 are completely filled with a grout mix 46 of any suitable type which will develop a strong bond with the steel, as illustrated in FIG. 3. The grout mix is poured up to the bottom of the recessed cavity 52 in the templates 50, thus knitting the templates securely to the top of the Wall panels. The grout mix also fills any voids or cracks in the joint and, when it sets, it reinforces the bars 44 of the stress keys 40. Accordingly, a virtually leak-proof, strong joint between the wall panels 14 is provided. In fact, it is found that only the first few wall panels 14 which are erected need to be braced since the joints are strong enough to support the wall panels without any other aid. It can therefore be seen that substantial time and material, and hence money, can be saved using the described wall panels and method of erecting them. The recessed cavities 52 in the top walls 54 of the templates 59 next are filled with concrete so that all of the templates are effectively locked together to form a substantially integral structure. Reinforcing rods 66 can be embedded in the concrete in the recessed cavities 52, for providing still additional support and strength to the structure.
In addition to the above-mentioned functions performed by the templates 50, the templates also function as a cap-walk about the tops of the wall panels 14. A railing 20 can be provided for safety on one or both sides of the top of the templates, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
The template 50 can also be formed L-shaped, as shown in FIG. 7; cross-shaped, as shown in FIG. 8; and T-shaped as shown in FIG. 9, for seating atop the wall panels at corners, at intersections and at abutments. With templates 50 of these shapes, the reinforcing rods 66 in the recessed cavities 52 can be embedded and afiixed together, as illustrated, to form a securely interlocked integral structure.
It can be seen that wall panels pre-cast with key-joints 22 in their side edges can be easily and quickly afiixed together with the stress keys 40. Furthermore, the construction of the key-joints 22 is such that after fixedly joining the wall panels together in abutting relationship, they can be filled with a grout mix to provide a strong and virtually water-proof or leak-proof joint. By afiixing reinforcing rods 36 in the pre-cast Wall panels to the stress key locks 30, any stress on the joints is transmitted through both of the joined panels. Accordingly, a very strong joint is provided. A cap-walk can be provided along the tops of the wall panels, by aflixing a number of templates 50 to the tops thereof. By overlapping the joints between the wall panels with the templates, the wall panels can be easily laterally aligned. Also, by filling the recessed cavities 52 in the top walls 54 of the templates, a substantially integral cap-walk structure is provided. This cap-walk essentially interlocks the entire structure together, to provide a rigid sturdy structure.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, among those made apparent from the preceding description, are efliciently attained and, since certain changes may be made in carrying out the above method and in the construction set forth without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention, which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.

Feeling Well Again!
had been having severe problems with asthma. So much so I could no longer even hold a job. After seeing Dr Jacobs for 6 weeks my health has improved dramatically. It took about 2 weeks to get in for my first visit. He and his staff were very nice and made me feel comfortable. Dr spent more than an hour with me that first visit. Then I was turned over to his staff for tests. That first day was about 2 hours total. I would recommend him to anyone with pulmonary problems. I wish I had gone to see him a year earlier.

Copper is a popular metal for kettles due to its natural, polished beauty and heat distribution. Even though kettles rarely come in contact with food or other items that would soil them, dust and water vapour can collect on the kettle, dulling the shine and making it look dirty. Cleaning copper kettles is simple but requires extra steps if the kettle has lost its sheen or is beginning to tarnish.

- 1
Place the copper kettle in your kitchen sink. Run warm water over a clean kitchen sponge and add a few drops of dish soap to the sponge.
- 2
Lather this over the kettle, scrubbing it gently to remove dust and oils from the kettle's surface. If the kettle has a removable lid, remove the lid and scrub the inside of the kettle as well. If the kettle does not have a lid, stick a bottle brush through the spout to clean the interior.
- 3
Rinse the kettle well with warm water. Dry it thoroughly with a soft towel.
- 4
Use a commercial copper polish, or create your own, to remove tarnish and bring back the kettle's shine, if necessary. To make your own at home, use the formula suggested by Michigan State University Extension: In a bowl, mix equal parts vinegar, salt and white flour. Mix this with a spoon to form a paste. For a regular-sized kettle, you'll probably only need 1 tbsp of each.
- 5
Place 1 tsp of commercial polish or the homemade polish on a soft cloth. Gently rub this over the copper kettle's exterior to polish it. Rinse off the polish and then dry the kettle well with a towel.
Tips and warnings
- Copperbrasstraditions.com warns that you should not put copper cookware in a dishwasher.

"Great content, awful quality"
This was a brilliant book and I'd love to hear more from the author but the editing on this was truly terrible. Whole sections missing and some parts which began only to stop mid sentence and skip around like a broken CD. In parts it became very difficult to understand as a result and I'd go so far as to recommend that no one buy this version.
I loved the meditation with the black Madonna, not least because it was one of the only uninterrupted sections. The content was fascinating but I got the impression I was missing large sections of it.
Needs to be released again in full or completely re-edited to avoid the several stop-start missing chapters and confusing edits. Terrible quality although Galland had a lovely and clear voice.
Please fix this! The fantastic content deserves a better release than audible have given it.

Working Paper 01-13 - The impact of subsidies and fiscal incentives on corporate R&D expenditures in Belgium (2001-2009)
This paper presents the results of an initial evaluation of federal fiscal incentives in support of Research and Development (R&D) by companies in Belgium. The impact of regional subsidies and the partial exemption from advance payment for R&D personnel is estimated for the period 2001-2009. The results show that the existing measures of public support have stimulated companies to carry out additional R&D activities.

A piercingly poignant then-and-now portrait - so palpable it puts a lump in your throat." -- New York Times
An instant hit at the Sundance Film Festival and nominated for an Independent Spirit Award, THE SAME RIVER TWICE is a rich and warmly insightful mosaic of change, choices and communal living, highly acclaimed as "piercingly poignant" (The New York Times) and "a [four-star] masterpiece! Powerful, compelling and graceful!" (Chicago Reader).
In 1978, award-winning filmmaker Robb Moss and a close-knit group of free-spirited friends and lovers took a month-long trip through the depths of the Grand Canyon; a breathtaking, white-water rafting adventure down the Colorado River. Cutting between footage of their youthful — often naked — live-in-the-moment existences and the complex realities of their adulthood today, the film travels the road from peyote to Prozac, creating a compelling portrait of cultural metamorphosis and the struggle to find one's place in the world. From running rapids to running for mayor, THE SAME RIVER TWICE is an intimate depiction of those baby-boomers who took the Sixties seriously, and then grew up.

Forty days before Holy Week, Barranquilla decks itself out to receive national and foreign tourists and joins together with the city's inhabitants to enjoy four days of intense festivities. During the carnival, Barranquilla's normal activities are paralyzed because the city gets busy with street dances, musical and masquerade parades.

Editor's Pick: Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub
Typically, when you think of pineapple and papaya you'll conjure up an image complete with hammocks, beachside service, and fruity frozen cocktails topped with colorful umbrellas. However, after using Kiehl's Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub, you'll likely have a whole new association in mind.
Made with real fruit extracts, this gentle facial scrub from Kiehl's offers exfoliation suitable for all skin types. Just like your favorite tropical beachside drinks, this scrub uses small pieces of actual pineapple and papaya fruit. Pineapple contains bromelain, a protein-digesting enzyme often used as a way to lightly break down dead skin cells which may have built up on your skin's surface. Thanks to the papaya, the scrub features papain, another protein- and dead skin cell-digesting enzyme. These enzymes work alongside finely ground scrub grains of luffa cylindrica fruit and apricot seed powder to remove built-up dead skin cells on the skin's surface which helps leave your skin feeling refreshed, soft, and clean. In addition to the gentle, yet effective, exfoliating power of the scrub, each use gives your skin a dose of vitamin oils to further enhance its soothing effects. Plus, sesame oil—from sesame seeds—features moisturizing emollient properties to help soften skin.
Just a small amount of the scrub is needed to exfoliate your entire face. Gently massage onto clean, damp skin in upward circular motions—avoiding the delicate eye area and concentrating on the T-zone. Let the scrub sit on your skin, without scrubbing, for up to two minutes to let the protein-digesting enzymes get to work. Remove with a damp, lukewarm soft facial cloth and follow up with your normal nightly skin care routine.

Good news! - As reported by Wine & Spirits Daily on January 11th ---- "Break open the Chardonnay. Scientists say they have found evidence that the pulp of (white) grapes are just a heart-healthy in laboratory experiments as the skin, which means white wine may be just as healthy as red.
The study, which appeared in the American Chemical Society Journal of Agricultural & Food Chemistry in 2006, challenges the idea that red wine is more heart-healthy (than) white wine."
Drink up the Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio!
In the late 1970's, Bob and Patty Brower set out to fulfill their dream. They saw the potential in Monterey County as a quality wine growing region, and in 1982 began building what is now known as Château Julien Wine Estate in Carmel Valley, California. This year they are celebrating 26 years in the wine business.

How much should be it the Zin of a Power Amplifier?
With regret i discovered that a lot few here deal in really with the DIY. Isn't this the aim of this web site? Or i have perceived error? This means that vast majority or has bought ready appliances what has damage and searches how him it repairs or it deals with theories without it applies something in the practice through them. I place this question for the Zin and wait for answers and opinions. With regard to me, I have already ready my answer as experimented a long time with this subject. Thus I decided to make for a time the opposite from usual. I leave to be exposed first you, and afterwards I comment your opinions in spite of search 1.500.000 posts in all site. Be careful because it is so much critical subject as the output of amplifier. She is the one from the two doors of contacting him with the outside world.

Hi fotios,
I like to see a high input impedance unless I have a noise issue o deal with. So a 250K input Z is okay by me. -Chris

anywhere from 10k on up works just fine for me. it's good to have a predictable value that you can base calculations on. you will probably notice that many amps have a 10k, 20k, 47k, or 100k resistor across their inputs. many years ago, when audio engineering was influenced by telephone system design, there were many amps on the market with 600 ohm inputs, but for the most part, impedance matching has been replaced by voltage matching. most preamps and other line level devices have an output impedance of around 1k, and most devices such as amps have very high input impedance, so there is not a lot of voltage loss in the cables.

10.000 Ohms.
If this is too low for CD-player output (or other intended source) then I can accept 22.000 Ohms. But not any higher When comes to using sources with weak outputs, that require higher input impedance than 47 kohm I strongely recommend: The use of a good pre-amplifier or a good pre-buffer. lineup Lineup Audiko Lab

How to calculate Zout?
How to calculate Zout?
I wanted to know what is the output impedance of a common emitor stage without any resistors referenced to ground or rails. What is the output impedance of collector of VAS stage? Also current mirrors, what is the output impedance of the collector of current mirror (that is used for differential pair load)? |

Alternatively look for a tutorial about Giacoletto Equivalent Circuit, which usually introduce to the internal "machinery" of an active device (mainly bipolar devices but, with some change in parameter, this kind of circuit may be useful for any three terminal active device, bipolar, FET, vacuum triode...)

We supply bedding, blankets, towels, dishes and tableware, toilet paper and most items you'll need for spending some time away from home. And there's cable tv in every bedroom plus wireless internet.
The four bedrooms feature two king beds and two queen beds plus two couches. And there's a futon in the upstairs family room.
We've been managing another large weekend property for several years and turned this traditional rental into a weekend guest house.
Ron Stanhouse purchased this house in 1995
We've owned this house for many years and understand that visiting families want and need this type of weekend rental.
Hoosier House is a nice home that's not as expensive as our other super upscale property, Baker Place. And Hoosier House is handicap friendly and pet friendly which Baker Place isn't.
The Hoosier House was the perfect "home base" for our family wedding celebration weekend in Bloomington! Everything about the house was terrific, every room appointed perfectly and all the amenities we could want or need! Great location and close to everything! Our weekend included a scavenger hunt around campus, a great dinner downtown and, of course, a beautiful wedding celebrated at High Rock Church. We even received the perfect "short cut" directions from Ron on the way there! Next time the family visits Bloomington, we know where to stay!
The Hoosier House was just perfect for our large group wanting to meet up for an IU reunion! There is plenty of parking (which is pretty impressive in Bloomington) and the house has all the comforts you could ask for. It was so nice to be able to walk to the football stadium for tailgating, campus for reminiscing and downtown for all the yummy restaurants. We would definitely stay at Hoosier House again!
We stayed here for the weekend with our two kids and another family with three kids. The house so comfortably accommodated all of us. Ron was a pleasure to work with and really goes the extra mile to make sure you have everything you could possibly need. Would highly recommend!
Welcome to Bloomington, home of Indiana University and many local attractions including downtown shops and restaurants. C

Finally, an educational video which presents leading experts who reveal the truth about so-called "low level" waste, and its severe dangers to humanity and all life forms. They point the way toward safer, saner waste management methods than those now being considered in the USA.
Useful for environmental activists working to inform their neighbors and mobilize their communities to resist hazardous governmental or corporate dumping practices.
