The greatest hoax of all-time is certain industries, professions or fields of work telling everyone else they’re not smart enough to do what they do. The greatest hoax is making certain professions or fields of work appear massive and unbreakable. Or making them look complex, hard to see through, or impossible to go over. This is what Wall Street does on a daily basis. It’s what tech firms do today.
Literally everyone on planet Earth can learn to code just like the people at Google. It’s all on the Internet and it’s nearly all free. Sometimes it’s only about following documentation that’s already provided to you by a company or a forum. Or it’s who you follow on Twitter and the free instructional videos you find around the web.
Anyone out there can learn about the investing world right now. It’s not about any specific school or upbringing. If there’s an internet connection, there’s opportunity. Some of the smartest investors I know have blogs entirely devoted to financial markets. They’re all free to read.
If you’re interested in something today, there’s nothing stopping you from learning about it tomorrow. The next great wave of human capitalism, in my opinion, will come from this profound understanding. It will change everything. It will happen slowly, and then it will simply be. At our finger tips we have access to any concept, equation, thought, or philosophy ever recorded. Yes, you might have to look at an ad for 30 seconds, but after that, welcome to your new line of study. I am definitely not the first person to say this, but it’s worth repeating.
The time it takes an average person to access any source of random information is at its lowest point. Think about that. It took Bobby the Roman four days to get a book on herbs when he was living in Ancient Rome. Joey from the Bronx gets that in four seconds.
The next great wave of achievement is the mass adoption of this realization. That everyone is capable. And that anyone can literally learn anything at a fraction of the cost compared to another point in time.
Today, there’s no reason or excuse to not have a strong understanding of anything you’re interested in. You can download a language app on your phone and for 30 minutes a night become proficient at that language. You can find how-to videos on everything. My best friend rode a motorcycle from Alaska to Argentina. He had never rode a motorcycle before. He learned watching and then training by way of YouTube videos.
The greatest hoax of all-time continues to be a wall that does not exist. I believe the last 100 years, while proficient and effective for society, were also some of the most secretive and deceptive. What I mean by that is the mystery, image, and perception of certain industries and titans were built on the back of being mysterious, secretive, and almost mythical.
Today, the game is as flat and equal as ever, potentially more than ever.
I hope you enjoyed this, and I hope you use it to focus, learn, or appreciate a new field that you previously thought wasn’t possible for yourself. I’m still learning and taking in as much education as I can.
Thanks for reading and remember to follow me on Twitter and StockTwits. Also, you have to sign-up for my email newsletter.
I’ve now spent 10 years in the stock market. And I’ve spent seven working directly with the people who make it what it is at StockTwits.
But that is true with anything. You will never find a perfect “thing” that has no ups or downs. What you’ll do instead, if it really matters to you, is fight your way out of the downs and strive to remain in the ups. There will always be down moments. While they can brutal, it’s also where you discover what really matters.
In most major sports, whether it’s football or baseball, only a small percentage of the game is a moment of action. Most of the time, it’s a steady slog, timeout or commercial until… WHAM! Something big happens. A must-watch moment. Then, the cycle repeats. In life, it can be the same. You go through the routine and then… WHAM! Something happens. It’s almost as if 1% of moments determine 99% of the rest.
Warren Buffett famously said he, “tap dances to work.” He is a sage investor and he also happens to be a sage at one-liners. I assure you that when he wrote down several billion dollars in his Kraft-Heinz investment, there was no tap dance. WHAM. Yet despite that setback, we both know there will be another act. And he will win again. Because this is what he cares about.
Working in the stock market all these years, I have seen quite a bit. Plenty of WHAMs – even to my own portfolio. I admire the rise of the stock market anti-hero. The one who overcomes setback after setback when by traditional norms they were not supposed to. The ones who do what traditional systems tell you not to do. The ones who did not get a world class education or pass an examination. The ones who have a day job completely different from markets. Instead, they’ve found their own way, and it works for them.
I have seen the portfolios of my friends on StockTwits. In the words of Owen Wilson, “wow” is what I would tell you. I remember the first few times I met a few in person. There was no flashy suit or Mercedes Benz. It was the opposite.
In my time in the market I’ve noticed how a select few can dominate the conversation. Generally, it is for their cause. The hedge fund gurus go on TV after they’ve put a position on. The great thinkers tell you why their industry is right because, well, that’s the industry they work in. But the anti-hero rarely has anyone ever speaking for them.
In the early days, I was told we had to go punk rock on the world of finance. The “Wall” would have to be torn down. I think about that today, and believe it more than ever. I hear about the trading desks at big banks where everyone sits silently, insanely self-consciousness, glued to their Bloomberg terminal, trapped in a vortex of worry.
The do-it-yourself investor is coming for that old line of work. If the launch of e*Trade and other trading services in the 90s was a glimpse, today we are on the cusp of a revolution. Low-cost ETFs, mobile apps, social networks to test ideas, and the list goes on. Your Uncle’s wife’s brother’s kid, Bobby, is building a position in Bitcoin as we speak and there’s no manager, adviser, or bank sitting between him and his actions.
There’s an obsession with the rotation of active funds vs. passive funds. You know who you are. But what’s missing is the growing education and interest of the DIY investor. Last I checked, TD Ameritrade had record net new client assets, near record trades per day, and revenue. Should I say any more?
In the words of Marc Andreessen, this is a community of nights and weekend people. They’re getting no credit. They also don’t care. Their returns are all they need to know.
Today, I’m taking their side, and I’m swinging for the fences with them. Because it’s what we care about. Foremost, I believe StockTwits is on the cusp of something massive. Secondly, as someone who manages my own portfolio, I have taken a few big bets related to my core beliefs. Some have won, some have lost. But they’re always something I believe in.
My most recent bet is Twitter, and I think it’s insanely misunderstood and incorrectly valued. More on that soon. The point is it’s where the anti-heroes spend their time and everyone has an equal voice. Including the ones who do it themselves. And those who were told they shouldn’t ever get involved, but did.
I am reminded of how easy it is to do something online.
You can write, reply, like, report, and follow in a second or less. Tap the button, and mission completed. Action, feedback, reward.
We’ve all been taught about Pavlov’s dogs. Or most of us have at least heard of them. Ironically, that’s what we’re all becoming. We are the dogs of the Internet. Obediant to notifications appearing on our screens.
The same is true for investors and traders. It has never been easier to hit buy or hit sell. Many thought the DotCom bubble was the peak for instantaneous actions in markets. That could not have been more wrong when you consider the speed of market structure today vs. back then. Speed and reward are at the cornerstone of the action. Faster, faster, faster. Tap, tap, tap.
There’s a group of social scientists who believe the rise of social interactions online is making everyone more anxious. It also makes people more overwhelmed. We subconsciously obsess with instant feedback and gratification. This feeling or concept isn’t going anywhere, either. It is only becoming far more prevelant to the day-to-day lives around us. There is no sense in trying to stop it. It’s out there, unseen, and misunderstood.
Maybe the cure is to get out of its way.
Some people have tried not touching their phone for the first hour after waking up. Others purposly let their phone die of battery on a 24-hour cycle so it literally, “loses its power” over them. These types of strategies are not made in normal situations. No one ever tried to make a rule to calm the consumption of vegetables. It’s because we’ve come to learn that it’s a net benefit to eat more of them. Net benefits are not throttled. Net negatives are.
At some point, in the great book of cliches, you indeed must call a spade a spade.
While everyone else is tapping, downloading, commenting, perhaps there is something beneficial in doing the opposite. The opposite now would be slowing down. I’m not entirely sure what that means. I think many will have different solutions and insights for this. But if the world wants you to speed up, to consume more, to tap more, try doing the opposite of that.
It’s said we judge the people around us within the first seven seconds of meeting them.
I think something similar happens online. I don’t know what the scientific word is for this, but one image, video, or headline from a Twitter account can push us from 0 to 100 (real quick). This is not a good thing. It threatens our most valuable ability: making the right decision.
The speed from the time a visual is seen to the creation of a unique opinion about it happens with a spark of electricity from screen to neuron. A flash of light, and an opinion is born. It is a remarkable capability. But it is also a weakness, an Achilles heel. It’s how outrage is created so quickly through social networks. It happens in those first few seconds of seeing that one “thing.” Then it spreads like a wildfire. Someone no one will meet has made a dent in the universe, and they probably did it from a basement.
The rise of fake news has overtaken media across the world. So have the networks who mistakenly give it a platform. The real problem goes deeper, though. The real problem is the collapse in the number of people thinking critically. Everything online has been reduced to seven seconds. Maybe we weren’t built to see a tweet and calmly, book case behind us, and a fire stirring, articulate a thoughtful and meaningful take. Maybe we were built to see, and act. See, and react. Seven seconds.
I’ve learned this lesson not through argument, or research, and not through political conflict. But instead, with my own money on the line. I am here to tell you about how I lost money making a decision in seven seconds. I think my story is a reminder of the long road ahead for reworking our day-to-day intake of information.
In the stock market, there’s a theme that’s governed everything since the Financial Crisis. Most readers here will know what it is: the Federal Reserve is behind the rise in stocks. They saved the economy, and in doing so they made it a mandate to support the market. Whether you believe it or not, without question it’s impacted every investor at least once since it was heard. Yet, how many investors have actually taken the time to research what this really means? Or the exact mechanics used by the Fed?
In a matter of weeks, my short book was stopped out, and I walked away with a cold loss. Looking back, my reasoning was flawed. It was based on seven seconds. That day I heard the Fed was reducing its balance sheet, and subsequently I followed all the hot takes people were saying on the Internet. The Fed’s balance sheet will start shrinking! That balance sheet propped up the market! On the Internet, no one knows you’re a dog.
My decision that day came down to one thing. The hard work to do my own research, and to look deeper into whatever it was that came across my screen that day. Information is fed to us in feeds. It comes at us from a tunnel that we can’t see. But everything on Internet is being shown to you because that’s who you are. Whether it’s a machine learning from your interests over time or a group of people trying to serve things that align with your interests.
With a little research, I could have saved myself from a terrible trade. But that piece of information, that one “thing” grasped me that day. It was my Big Short moment. One Google search alone would have saved the entire trade. Yes, the Fed has a blog and they wrote about their balance sheet shrinking.
Everyone is always searching for that one secret to succeed. Wake up earlier! Work more hours! Manage your calendar! When you sift through this advice something stands out. They’re calling on people to do more, to be more, and to add more. Maybe the opposite is true. Step back, and slow down.
Warren Buffett’s protege, Todd Combs, beautifully says he spends most of his day reading books and company financial statements. He’s in total control of his information flow thinking through things in a long-term format. No single tweet or meme would ever persuade him. He’s not looking to add more complexity to his day. It is a slow, and methodical day filled with deep dives, and great books.
The mind is extremely good at what it does.
When we form an opinion in seconds, it’s almost as if it knows it’s so good that now it’s just showing off.
This isn’t about consuming less, or that there’s too much noise, it’s instead the need to reclaim the ability to think critically, more importantly, to think slowly. Never act in the first seven seconds.
If you missed it, here’s what I learned about the stock market in 2018.
It’s not easy to talk about conflict. Or competition. Most want to run from it. Or paint the world in a rosier picture. We are mostly afraid to look into what it really means in our day-to-day lives.
Who is your enemy? I use the word “enemy” lightly here. What I mean is, who are you going up against in your career or passions? Who else wants the same thing you want? There are rarely multiple winners. We memorize the names of successful business people and athletes. We never know the names of the other people who wanted the same exact thing, and failed.
I was once told for every billion dollar startup idea, even more is lost among those chasing similar dreams. The drum beat of the few who win is all we ever come to know. Bill Gates beat a lot of people in software for several decades. Buffett destroyed hedge fund gurus year after year. The Warriors and Patriots keep winning despite any amount of fan negativity. Bezos is still eating the retail businesses around him.
At the end of the day, everyone, and I mean everyone, is just like you in that they have a goal to accomplish.
It can be easy to mistake success with hard work. Those who work the most, will win the most. We hear athletes talk about it all the time. They thank their hard work. But the unsung reality is that someone else had to lose in order for them to win.
They worked hard? Yes. They were dedicated? Yes. But more importantly, they were aware of a counter force. They outsmarted someone going after the same thing. Ultimately, this is the sole point of business. To fight for market share. It’s what the analysts are doing at your local prestigious banking job. Eventually, there can only be one managing director. This is the war we are constantly waging. It happens to everyone, all the time.
As an investor, the same story arch governs the markets you play in. You can work as hard as you can, study a stock for months, and calculate the odds of that stock doing well with the greatest statisticians. The problem, though, is that you’ve left out the most important thing. It’s as if you blind folded yourself before walking into the arena.
Who are you going up against?
It’s not an easy task to know who you’re playing against. Sometimes the enemy is hidden. Designing a perfect plan to play your best game against that enemy is equally a difficult thing. If it were easy, I wouldn’t be writing this and you wouldn’t be reading it. I think of two teams studying their opponent for hours, in a war room, film running, and notepads out. They are trying to understand the force they are going up against.
What are they good at and bad at?
How will the weaknesses be exploited and the strengths contained?
The criteria above should hang across office walls across Wall Street. It’s how the competition selects the stocks they’re trying to outperform. To be ignorant of that, or to think, “everything will take of itself” is a complacent approach. And nothing great was ever built on complacency.
Economists say there’s no such thing as a free lunch. I think that’s mostly true. You’re not going to get much without putting in the necessary work. I might also take it a step further and say there’s also no such thing as an easy lunch. We’re all in a crowded restaurant with a table for one. Your job is to figure out how you will get it, even if that means just a bite or piece of bread to gift to someone else.
We are all going up against something.
It’s not an ugly truth. It’s not a harsh reality. It’s just the nature of things as they are. It can be fun or exciting coming to this awareness. Most of us take it for granted. We’ve stumbled into fortuitous situations entirely overlooking all the people who tried to beat us. Most us don’t even know who we overcame or when. But we did, and the sooner we realize it, the better planned we will be when we suffer our first big loss, and more proud we can be when we get our first big win.
A group of Maryland students sat waiting in a classroom on campus. It was 2013. And then, Warren Buffett walked through the door.
I don’t know how he came to be there or the purpose of his visit. But, the professor of that class, David Kass, took notes as his students searched for guidance and answers from the Oracle of Omaha.
It can be somewhat “cheesy” and even “too easy” to over quote Buffett. I usually question the people who do that. But in the end, his wisdom is better heeded on a mass scale than ignored for snobbery. Buried deep in that day’s class notes is a story from Buffett I have never seen.
I don’t know many investors who call cash an attractive investment. Only the most grizzled traders I know talk about it. My trading friends say cash is, indeed, a position. They talk about it like they’ve seen some serious sh*t. Like the market knocked them down, cornered them, and brought them to a final stand. It was then, at the darkest hour, a powerful weapon stored in the depths of their brokerage account emerged.
Buffett was abnormally ready for the Financial Crisis.
He had probably seen his share of crashes. He had probably learned something. The level of cash he, and Berkshire had on hand at the time was unlike anything else in the world including Governments, and any tech giant. Had he been an angrier or more sinister person, you have to wonder if he could have bought armies, moved into power, or let the entire thing crumble. What if he did not loan money to Goldman or Bank of America? What if he chose not to help the the US Government at the time?
“In September 2008, we came right to the abyss. If Paulson and Bernanke had not intervened, in two more days it would have been all over. Berkshire Hathaway always has $20 billion or more in cash.
It sounds crazy, never need anything like it, but someday in the next 100 years when the world stops again, we will be ready. There will be some incident, it could be tomorrow. At that time, you need cash. Cash at that time is like oxygen. When you don’t need it, you don’t notice it. When you do need it, it’s the only thing you need. We operate from a level of liquidity that no one else does. We don’t want to operate on bank lines.
1. Don’t let it ruin you!
2. If you have money and guts, you’ll have an opportunity to buy things at prices that don’t make sense!
I do not believe in timing the perfect bottom. But I do believe that with the right strategy and process, you can get a chance to try. And the odds, at that time, will be in your favor. You can only have that opportunity, however, if you have cash.
Cash is optionality on opportunity.
You can’t buy dips, breakouts, or puts, and you can’t be a lender of last resort.
If you have cash, you can chose to play during times of extreme volatility. If you don’t, you will be left hoping it swings in the eventual direction you want it to. Is that a situation anyone wants to be in? Wishing? Hoping? That’s for Star Wars and Lord of The Rings. Putting yourself in favorable situations is what you do when your own money is on the line.
Cash is a position. It is an investment. It’s a reminder you have the freedom to make a choice when oppuruntity arises rather than being dependent on a wish. Or hope. Or a prayer.

The USS Eagle takes its name from a noble bird of prey, an emblem of the old United States of America . This bird represented the strength and majesty of a people who admired strength and courage. From the early days of Earth many peoples have looked to the Eagle with a spiritual admiration.
The first USS Eagle, a schooner, was built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, in 1798, and commissioned in the Revenue Cutter Service under the command of Captain H. G. Campbell, USRCS. She was transferred to the Navy in July 1798 for service in the undeclared naval war (Quasi-War) with France, and placed on the permanent Navy List in April 1800.
From October 1798 Eagle patrolled off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia protecting American shipping from French privateers. Ordered to the West Indies, she arrived at Prince Rupert's Bay, Dominica, 14 March 1799, to hunt French ships, and to convoy merchant vessels on the Guadeloupe Station until late in June, when she sailed for Newcastle, Delaware. She returned to the Caribbean in August 1799 for similar duty until 10 September 1800 when she set sail for St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, with the sloop-of-war Maryland, escorting a convoy of 52 ships. After arrival at Newcastle on 28 September, Eagle was laid up for repairs. Eagle's third cruise to the West Indies extended from January to June 1801, when she returned to Baltimore.
During her career of protecting United States' rights on the high seas, she captured or assisted in the capture of 22 French vessels which had been preying on American ocean commerce. Eagle was sold 17 June 1801.
The second USS Eagle, a sloop, was a merchant ship purchased on Lake Champlain in 1812 and fitted for naval service. She cruised on the lake under the command of Sailing Master J. Loomis as a member of Commodore Thomas Macdonough's squadron blockading the British advance from Canada. Eagle was captured by the enemy 3 June 1813 near ile aux Noix on the Canadian side of the lake and taken into the Royal Navy as Finch.
During her services as a British ship she accompanied the expedition which burned the arsenal and storehouses at Plattsburg, New York. She was recaptured by the Americans during the great victory of the Battle of Lake Champlain 11 September 1814 and taken back into the U.S. Navy. After the war she was sold in July 1815 at Whitehall, New York.
The third USS Eagle, a brig, was launched 11 August 1814 as Surprise at Vergennes, Vermont, by Adam and Noah Brown. She was renamed Eagle 6 September and placed under the command of Lieutenant R. Henley.
Finished in bare time to participate in the decisive Battle of Lake Champlain on 11 September 1814, Eagle rendered gallant service. As the first vessel in the American line she was holed 39 times and had 13 men killed and 20 wounded. After the battle she was laid up for preservation at Whitehall, New York, but was sold in 1825.
The fourth USS Eagle served in the United States Navy from 1898 to 1919, and saw action in the Spanish-American War and World War I.
Eagle, a yacht, was built in 1890 as Almy by Harlan and Hollingsworth, Wilmington, Delaware; purchased by the Navy 2 April 1898 and renamed Eagle; and commissioned 3 days later, Lieutenant W. H. H. Southerland in command.
Eagle sailed from New York 17 April 1898 for duty with the North Atlantic Squadron on blockade and dispatch duty in Cuban waters. On 29 June she shelled the Spanish battery at Rio Honda and on 12 July captured the Spanish merchantman Santo Domingo. Eagle returned to Norfolk 22 August 1898 to be fitted out for surveying duty, her principal employment through the remainder of her naval service. She compiled new charts and corrected existing ones for the waters surrounding Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Haiti.
Troubled conditions throughout the Caribbean often interrupted Eagle's surveying duty and she gave varied service in protecting American interests. She patrolled off Haiti in January and February 1908 and again in November and December and off Nicaragua in December 1909. In June 1912 she transported Marines to Santiago de Cuba and Siboney to protect American lives and property during a rebellion in Cuba, and continued to investigate conditions and serve as base ship for the Marines until 1914. She also had gunboat duty with a cruiser squadron during the Haiti operation of July 1915 to March 1916 and was commended by the Secretary of the Navy for her creditable performance of widely varied duty. She then remained off Haiti to conduct surveys.
With American entry into World War I, Eagle returned to Cuban waters. She was attached to American Patrol Detachment, Atlantic Fleet, and throughout 1917 and 1918 was continually on patrol off Cuba, Santo Domingo, and the southern coast of the United States. From Key West, where she arrived 3 April 1918, she patrolled the Florida Straits and after the end of the war operated on target practice, and tactical exercises and maneuvers. Between 7 January and 15 March 1919 she made a cruise to Cuban ports and along the Gulf coast before being detached from the American Patrol Detachment 28 April. Eagle left Key West the following day for Portsmouth Navy Yard. She was decommissioned there 23 May 1919 and sold 3 January 1920.
HMS Eagle was an aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy sunk during World War II.
The Eagle was laid down at the Armstrong yards at Newcastle-on-Tyne on February 20, 1913. She was to be the battleship Almirante Cochrane for the Chilean Navy. Her construction was halted with the outbreak of World War I. In 1917 she was acquired for the Royal Navy, at a cost of ÿ£1.3 million, to be converted into the carrier HMS Eagle. She was the fourteenth ship to bear that name.
Her initial redesign was as a base for sea-plane operations. After trials with other ships the design was changed to a proper fleet carrier with a full flight deck and 'island'. She was launched on June 8, 1918 but the delays meant that the Eagle was unfinished at the end of hostilities. Construction was halted and not resumed until 1920 and she was only commissioned on February 26, 1924.
In September 1939 the Eagle was based at Singapore with an air-arm of eighteen Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers. Her first offensive action of the war was as part of the hunt for the Admiral Graf Spee. She began 1940 in the Indian Ocean, but after repairs to explosion damage in March she joined the major units Malaya, Ramillies, Royal Sovereign and Warspite in the eastern Mediterranean at Alexandria in May.
Swordfish bombers from Eagle attacked the harbour at Tobruk on July 5 and sank an Italian destroyer and two marchantmen, a similar attack two weeks later (July 20) sank another two destroyers. On July 9 she was part of an ineffectual clash with the Italian fleet at Calabria, sometimes called the Battle of Punto Stila.
On 22 August her aircraft attacked and sank an Italian submarine and a depot ship in the Gulf of Bomba. In September she met up with the carrier Illustrious as part of Operation Hats, and supported an attack on Maritza, Rhodes.
In mid-October she was part of the cover for a Malta convoy (MB-6). Her aircraft flew from Illustrious during the attack on Taranto (Operation Judgement, November 11), the damaged Eagle remained in Alexandria. On the 26th her aircraft attacked Tripoli.
In March 1941 she was assigned to Freetown. Her aircraft, flying from Port Sudan, attacked Italian ships at Massawa en route. She arrived at Freetown in early May, remaining there until October 1941.
She returned to Britain for a refit and rejoined the Mediterranean Fleet early in 1942. In February 1942 she carried aircraft for Malta, an operation repeated in May and twice in June. In June she also provided air cover for the convoy of Operation Harpoon (12th to 16th).
Her final action was in August 1942 as cover for the Malta-bound convoy of Operation Pedestal. On the early morning of August 11 she was hit by four torpedoes from U-73 of Helmut Rosenbaum and sank 70 nm south of Cape Salinas. The majority of the crew survived (927, only 160 lost) and were picked from the sea by her escorts.
USS Captor (PYc-40), briefly known as USS Eagle (AM-132) was a Q-ship of the United States Navy.
Harvard, a steel-hulled trawler, was built in 1938 by Bethlehem Steel Company, Quincy, Massachusetts, handed over to General Sea Foods Corporation, Boston, and put into service with the name Wave assigned.
The fishing trawler served in that capacity until 1 January 1942, when she was acquired by the Navy as part of the Auxiliary Vessels Act. Reporting to the Portsmouth Navy Yard in New Hampshire, the trawler began conversion to war service as a minesweeper on 8 January. With the work complete on 28 February, she was named Eagle, given the hull classification symbol AM-132, and placed in commission 5 March 1942, Lieutenant Commander Leroy E. Rogers, USNR, in command.
Along with Asterion (AK-100) and Atik (AK-101), Eagle was selected early to participate in a secret "Q-ship" program. The intention was to disguise the ship as a defenseless civilian vessel and, after luring an enemy submarine into close quarters on the surface, open fire with hidden guns and sink the unsuspecting U-boat. For this reason, Eagle remained at Portsmouth, where she underwent further conversion into a Q-ship and received weapons and sonar gear. During this second conversion, the minesweeper was renamed Captor and redesignated PYc-40 on 18 April. With alterations complete on 19 May, the vessel reported for duty with the 1st Naval District at Boston.
Unlike the other four ships eventually in the Q-ship program, Captor did not sail in convoys or along coastal shipping routes. Instead, she operated in the waters near Boston -- in Massachusetts Bay, north to Casco Bay, east to the Georges Bank, and south to Nantucket Sound and Rhode Island Sound. While at sea, the disguised Q-ship also helped cover the coastal convoy routes coming north from New York. As growing air and sea patrols had driven most U-boats away from the New England coast in May 1942, Captor had little chance to spot an enemy submarine and ended her wartime career without a single sighting.
With the decline in the U-boat threat to the east coast of the United States late in the war, Captor was decommissioned at Boston on 4 October 1944. Stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 14 October 1944, the trawler was transferred to the War Shipping Administration and sold on 21 February 1945. The ultimate fate of the ship is unknown.
HMS Eagle was one of the two largest British aircraft carriers ever built.
Initially laid down in 1942 at Harland and Wolff's, Belfast yard as one of four ships of the Audacious-class were laid down during World War II as part of the British naval buildup during that conflict. However, two were cancelled at the end of hostilities, and the remaining two were suspended. Originally Audacious, she was finally launched as Eagle (the fifteenth Royal Navy ship to be so named) in March 1946 after the proposed ship of that name was cancelled.
A number of changes were incorporated into the design, although Eagle was launched too early to see an angled flight deck installed, and the ship was commissioned in October 1951. Her first wartime service came in 1956, when she took part in the Suez Crisis. The ship's aircraft of that period included Westland Wyverns, Douglas Skyraiders, Armstrong Whitworth Sea Hawks and de Havilland Sea Venoms.
In 1959 she was taken to Devonport Dockyard for an extensive refit and modernisation. She was re-commissioned in 1964 as a very new and different ship. In addition to major improvements to her accommodation, machinery and weaponry she also acquired an angled deck, enlarged island and as a result of all these plus more changes; an increased displacement (+50,000 tons). This made her the largest ship in the Royal Navy. By this time, the airwing had changed to Blackburn Buccaneer, Sea Vixen and Fairey Gannet aircraft. The Supermarine Scimitar also saw service on the ship during this period before being replaced by the Buccaneer.
However, by the mid-1960s, the British Government had decided that the days of the large Royal Navy aircraft carrier were limited. The fleet was swiftly run down, with Eagle being the penultimate to decommission. She left RN service in 1972, but was used as a parts hulk for Ark Royal until the latter decommissioned as well in 1978. Eagle was then swiftly scrapped.
The first Apollo landing site, in the southern Sea of Tranquility about 20 km (12 mi) southwest of the crater Sabine D, was selected in part because it had been characterized as relatively flat and smooth by the automated Ranger 8 and Surveyor 5 landers, as well as by Lunar Orbiter mapping spacecraft, and therefore unlikely to present major landing or Extra-vehicular activity (EVA) challenges. Armstrong bestowed the name 'Tranquillity Base' on the landing site immediately after touchdown.
On 20 July, 1969, while on the far side of the Moon, the lunar module, called "Eagle," separated from the Command Module, named "Columbia". Collins, now alone aboard Columbia, carefully inspected Eagle as it pirouetted before him. Soon after, Armstrong and Aldrin fired Eagle's engine and began their descent. They soon saw that they were "running long"; Eagle was 4 seconds further along its descent trajectory than planned, and would land miles west of the intended site. The LM navigation and guidance computer reported several "program alarms" as it guided the LM's descent. These alarms tore the crew's attention away from the scene outside as the descent proceeded. In NASA's Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas, a young controller named Steve Bales was able to tell the flight director that it was safe to continue the descent in spite of the alarms. Once they were able to return their attention to the view outside, the astronauts saw that their computer was guiding them toward a landing site full of large rocks scattered around a large crater. Armstrong took manual control of the lunar module at that point, and guided it to a landing at 4:17 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on July 20 with less than 30 seconds' worth of fuel left.
The program alarms were "executive overflows", indicating that the computer could not finish its work in the time allotted. The cause was later determined to be that the LM rendezvous radar was left on during the descent, causing the computer to spend unplanned time servicing the unused radar. Steve Bales received a Medal of Freedom for his "go" call under pressure.
At 2:56 UTC, six and a half hours after landing, Armstrong made his descent to the Moon surface and took his famous "one giant leap for mankind." Aldrin joined him, and the two spent two-and-a-half hours drilling core samples, photographing what they saw and collecting rocks.
They planned placement of the Early Apollo Scientific Experiment Package (EASEP) and the U.S. flag by studying their landing site through Eagle's twin triangular windows, which gave them a 60° field of view. Preparation required longer than the two hours scheduled. Armstrong had some initial difficulties squeezing through the hatch with his PLSS. According to veteran moonwalker John Young, a redesign of the LM to incorporate a smaller hatch was not followed by a redesign of the PLSS backpack, so some of the highest heart rates recorded from Apollo astronauts occurred during LM egress and ingress.
The Remote Control Unit controls on Armstrong's chest prevented him from seeing his feet. While climbing down the nine-rung ladder, Armstrong pulled a D-ring to deploy the Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA) folded against Eagle's side and activate the TV camera. The first images used a Slow-scan television system and were picked up at Goldstone in the USA but with better fidelity by Honeysuckle Creek in Australia. Minutes later the TV was switched to normal television, and the feed was switched to the more sensitive radio telescope station at the Parkes Observatory in Australia. Despite some technical and weather difficulties, ghostly black and white images of the first lunar EVA were received and were immediately broadcast to at least 600 million people on Earth.
After describing the surface ("very fine grained... almost like a powder"), Armstrong stepped off Eagle's footpad and into history as the first human to set foot on another world. He reported that moving in the Moon's gravity, one-sixth of Earth's, was "perhaps even easier than the simulations."
In addition to fulfilling President John F. Kennedy's mandate to land a man on the Moon before the end of the 1960s, Apollo 11 was an engineering test of the Apollo system; therefore, Armstrong snapped photos of the LM so engineers would be able to judge its post-landing condition. He then collected a contingency soil sample using a sample bag on a stick. He folded the bag and tucked it into a pocket on his right thigh. He removed the TV camera from the MESA, made a panoramic sweep, and mounted it on a tripod 12 m (40 ft) from the LM. The TV camera cable remained partly coiled and presented a tripping hazard throughout the EVA.
Aldrin joined him on the surface and tested methods for moving around, including two-footed kangaroo hops. The PLSS backpack created a tendency to tip backwards, but neither astronaut had serious problems maintaining balance. Loping became the preferred method of movement. The astronauts reported that they needed to plan their movements six or seven steps ahead. The fine soil was quite slippery. Aldrin remarked that moving from sunlight into Eagle's shadow produced no temperature change inside the suit, though the helmet was warmer in sunlight, so he felt cooler in shadow.
Together the astronauts planted the U.S. flag - the ground was too hard to permit them to insert the pole more than about 20 cm (8 in) - then took a phone call from President Richard Nixon.
The MESA failed to provide a stable work platform and was in shadow, slowing work somewhat. As they worked, the moonwalkers kicked up gray dust which soiled the outer part of their suits, the integrated thermal meteoroid garment.
They deployed the EASEP, which included a passive seismograph and a laser ranging retroreflector. Then Armstrong loped about 120 m (400 ft) from the LM to snap photos at the rim of East Crater while Aldrin collected two core tubes. He used the geological hammer to pound in the tubes - the only time the hammer was used on Apollo 11. The astronauts then collected rock samples using scoops and tongs on extension handles. Many of the surface activities took longer than expected, so they had to stop documented sample collection halfway through the allotted 34 min.
During this period Mission Control used a coded phrase to warn Armstrong that his metabolic rates were high and that he should slow down. He was moving rapidly from task to task as time ran out. Rates remained generally lower than expected for both astronauts throughout the walk, however, so Mission Control granted the astronauts a 15 minute extension.
Aldrin entered Eagle first. With some difficulty the astronauts lifted film and two sample boxes containing more than 22 kg (48 lb) of lunar surface material to the LM hatch using a flat cable pulley device called the Lunar Equipment Conveyor. Armstrong then jumped to the ladder's third rung and climbed into the LM.
After transferring to LM life support, the explorers lightened the ascent stage for return to lunar orbit by tossing out their PLSS backpacks, lunar overshoes, one Hasselblad camera, and other equipment. Then they lifted off in Eagle's ascent stage to rejoin CMP Michael Collins aboard Columbia in lunar orbit. Eagle was jettisoned and left in lunar orbit. Later NASA reports mentioned that Eagle's orbit had decayed resulting in it impacting in an "uncertain location" on the lunar surface.
Here Men From Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon July 1969 A.D. We Came in Peace For All Mankind.
The USS Eagle (NCC-956) was a Federation starship in service in the 23rd century. It was of the few to also undergo refit.
The Constitution class was introduced around 2240. At that time the Constitution class was the fastest and most powerful ship type of the fleet and the only one officially designated as a "Starship". 12 ships of this class were in service by the year 2267. Starting with the USS Enterprise in 2271, a number of Constitution-class ships have undergone a complete reconstruction that included new warp nacelles, modification of the engineering hull and "neck", enlargement of the saucer section and a new bridge module. The ships may have been decommissioned at the end of the 23rd century, one of them is displayed in the Starfleet Museum.
1) The Constitution-class starship was designed by Matt Jefferies. Its original look lacks the now familiar discernable thrusters and docking ports although we can take for granted the ship has them too. There were several slight modifications to the Enterprise filming miniature after the first pilot and again after the second pilot. Most notably, the model originally had a somewhat taller bridge dome. The nacelle end caps changed from a flat surface in "The Cage" over a hole pattern in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" to the most familiar "white ball" in the series version. These modifications may be taken as hints that the ship was refitted a couple of times even before 2270. 2) A new model of the Constitution was built by Greg Jein for DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations", and a CGI model for ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly". Both of them faithfully reconstruct the look of the old TOS Enterprise and Defiant, respectively, in the series version. In the latter episode we see that the double beam of the aft phaser array fires from either side of the dome above the hangar deck of the Defiant, and aft torpedoes are available too. Moreover, the port, starboard and aft thrusters of the ship are mentioned. 3) The Constitution refit was designed by Andrew Probert, based on a preliminary model with suggestions by Matt Jefferies. The Enterprise and Enterprise-A are the only reconstructed Constitution-class ships that were shown. Gene Roddenberry proposed that the latter was first designated as USS Yorktown and later recommissioned as Enterprise 1701-A, which is just an offhand mention and not really canonical. It is a reasonable assumption that most of the remaining ships were refurbished likewise in the 2270s. A schematic of the refitted version labeled as USS Constitution NCC-1700 is visible in TNG: "Datalore", so we can add at least this one to the list of refitted starships. 4) Although the actual number of Constitution starships is at least 17, Kirk's statement that there are 12 of them as of 2267 (TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday") can be maintained taking into account that some of them (namely Constellation, Defiant, Excalibur, Intrepid) were lost, while more ships might have been commissioned in the 2260's. 5) The dedication plaque ("Starship Class") of the original Enterprise and a note in The Making of Star Trek suggest that "starship" was no generic term at that time, but was specifically used for ships akin to the Enterprise. The tradition to name a ship class for the prototype ship might have been established later, although this is now questionable considering that Star Trek Enterprise has begun using letter-style as well as "real" class names. 6) A sign in "Star Trek II" unmistakably says "Mark IV Simulator - Enterprise Class". The (sub-) class name "Enterprise class" makes sense, considering that the refit has hardly anything in common with the original Constitution, and is not really contradicted anywhere else. 7) The engineering hull at Wolf 359, which definitely stems from a Constitution refit, suggests that these ships may have been still in service or at least served as reserve ships in 2366. The issue is also discussed here. 8) Some of the names and registries never appeared on screen together. Many of the registries were listed on a wall chart on Starbase 11 in TOS: "Court-Martial", but without names. Names from the episodes and from The Making of Star Trek were correlated with the registries by Mike Okuda and Greg Jein already for the first Encyclopedia, but strictly speaking they are conjecture. In some case it is not even clear if the ships belong to the Constitution class at all. 9) Like the 3D model from ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly", the CGI used in TOS Remastered is an authentic reproduction of the original Enterprise miniature. It is noteworthy that the color of the phaser beams, which used to be sometimes blue and sometimes red in TOS, was redone to be consistently blue. The Constellation, which looked somewhat different in TOS: "The Doomsday Machine" due to its nature as a coarse polystyrene model, is a standard Constitution in the remastered episode, not a slightly different ship type as some fans used to conjecture. In TOS-R: "Court-Martial" we can see damage on the Enterprise's starboard hull beneath the hangar deck. This is where the ion pod is located (that Kirk allegedly ejected with Finney still inside). 10) Also in TOS-R: "Court-Martial", we can see the Intrepid for the first time, with the registry NCC-1631. Although it would not have been mandatory, this registry cannot be found on the wall chart in Stone's office that lists an "NCC-1831". But the latter could be any other ship, also taking into consideration that the bar shows 100% completion, whereas Stone verbally states that work on the Intrepid would be postponed in favor of the Enterprise.
The Eagle class is a parallel development to the Buenos Aires class and is also classified as a heavy cruiser. Saucer and warp drives of the two ship types are essentially identical, including the impulse-powered auxiliary craft ("boat"). Eagle-class ships are lighter and more versatile. Nevertheless, already in their basic configuration they feature recent sensor and weapons technology as well as extensive scientific laboratories. In addition to the standard equipment the ships can be supplemented with different sensor and weapon modules which are compatible with the Pacifica class. Most of the Eagle-class ships are currently equipped with a combined photon torpedo and long-range sensor pod. The original operation area was mainly well inside Federation space. During the Dominion War, almost all ships of the fast but moderately armed class were ordered to the Tholian and Talarian borders, where they successfully prevented incursions, largely without the support of other ships. Considering the recently necessary rearmament of Starfleet, it is expected that Akira-class starships will be the preferred design in the future, although Eagle-class starships fulfill all requirements. Contracts for the production twelve more ships of the class had been signed just prior to the Dominion War. It is possible that they will be built as modified Eagle variants.

Grease filler pump SJB-D60 is manual grease filler, hand operation pump, which used for filling the grease or oil to manual lubricating pump or small electric lubricating pump with pressure stage level of 10MPa and 120 MPa.
Grease filler pump SJB-D60 is operation by the handle, when the downward movement of the operating handle, the shutter closed and piston chamber volume becomes smaller, the grease along the conveyor hose to the oil reservoir, the lower portion of the piston volume gradually increases, a negative pressure to open the suction part, the inner barrel grease inhalation. When the handle upward movement, the piston chamber forms negative pressure, the valve is opened, closed suction part, grease into the upper chamber of the piston. When the handle of grease filler pump SJB-D60 is moved downward again, repeat the process.
The one end of the oil pipeline is connected with the oil pump outlet, and the other end is connected with the supply port of the oil reservoir, the other end of the oil storage tank is screwed on the box cover bolt.
The amount of grease or oil in barrels should be regularly checked, so as to prevent sucking the air into the grease tank.

Status: Esther Suazo has been teaching here for three years, using a 24′ X 40′ adobe church building with a dirt floor. This school year she had 80 kids come for enrollment, but could only take 45. Land was donated near the church and Principio has committed to funding the building and helping with construction. The new school will be 45′ X 55′ and will have a kitchen and dining area and restrooms ( with real flushing toilets ). See Solar Panel project below for more on this.
Eighty percent of the blocks have been made ( by hand, one at a time ). Dirt work has begun ( by hand, one wheel barrow at a time ). Melvin and Jonathan helped with this on the Oct. ’08 trip and two local men were hired to continue the work.
Update: August 3, 2009 The walls are now complete and the metal trusses are in place. Rafael, the builder, who also is the pastor of the church there, is painting the trusses this week. I, Melvin, plan to go in September with a group of about 15 men to put the roof on and do more work on the septic system. Hopefully, the political situation will be improved by then.
Update: Jan 1, 2010 We now have enough money available to complete the school! Thanks to all for your prayers and donations and encouragement. In less than 15 months form the time we began construction there will be a first class building, equipped with needed accessories, for these children to use for education during the week and for children’s church on the weekends. And it will be debt free!!
Update: March 1, 2010 Today is the first day of school in the new building! Desks and chairs are in place, dividers are used to section off each grade and the gas burning stove is in the tiled kitchen where breakfast and lunch will be prepared. More than thier hearts will be full! Now it is on to the clinic……..

The NIH Common Fund Human Biomolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) aims to develop a framework for functional mapping the human body with cellular resolution to enhance our understanding of cellular organization-function. HuBMAP will accelerate the development of the next generation of tools and techniques to generate 3D tissue maps using validated high-content, high-throughput imaging and omics assays, and establish an open data platform for integrating, visualizing data to build multi-dimensional maps. HuBMAP also intends to build partnerships with other funding agencies, programs, and the biomedical research community.
The HuBMAP recently issued a new Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOA) to solicit applications for the HuBMAP Integration, Visualization, and Engagement (HIVE) Initiative (OT2) RFA-RM-18-001. This vision for the HIVE is that it will: 1) manage the data generated by the Consortium, 2) coordinate internal and external Consortium activities, 3) develop novel tools for visualizing, searching and modelling data and 4) build an atlas of tissue maps.
When fully realized, the HIVE will be the central hub of a collaborative community and data framework for comprehensively mapping the human body at high resolution. This goal will be achieved in close collaboration with the HuBMAP Consortium, other programs and the worldwide research community to develop a platform that hosts an interactive set of human tissue maps in the spatial framework of the human body. Users of the HIVE will be able to access, search, query, visualize, and model these 3D biomolecular maps to better understand the relationship between tissue organization and function, how this relationship may change over the lifespan, across the health-disease continuum, or differs between individuals.
For additional information about RFA-RM-18-001, please attend the webinar scheduled for Thursday February 8th from 12:00-1:00PM which will include presentations from NIH staff and a question and answer session from prospective applicants. Please register for this event here.
The NIH Common Fund (formerly the NIH Roadmap) encourages collaboration and supports a series of exceptionally high impact, trans-NIH programs. These programs are supported by the Common Fund, and managed by the NIH Office of the Director in partnership with the various NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices.

Join a Walk4Hearing event near you to raise money, celebrate and build community.
Who doesn't love a good celebration? The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) is hosting its seventh annual Walk4Hearing events around the country to raise funds to support people of all ages living with hearing loss, and to bring the community together to celebrate.
"Our main goal is to try to eradicate the stigma of hearing loss in our society and that we shouldn't feel embarrassed about seeking help for it," Battat said in a video on the Walk4Hearing website. For one attendee featured in the video, his favorite part about the HLAA event was that it brought people together from all parts of the hearing loss community – children, teenagers and adults.
Teams can consist of entire families, groups of co-workers or friends, all wearing bright matching T-shirts with a team name, or organizations that benefit from HLAA's services or that work with those with hearing loss. If you're interested in forming or joining a team for Walk4Hearing, glance at the FAQ page for more information.
If you are interested in joining this awesome, community-focused event and getting friends and family members involved, you'll be in for a fantastic time because it's for everyone. There will even be jugglers and balloon artists putting on a show for the kids. One year, Washington Redskins professional football player Reed Doughty, who has had limited hearing ability since he was a child, made an appearance to offer his support.
Walk4Hearing events will (or already have) taken place in 22 cities throughout the country this year. The first walk kicked off on May 5 in Rochester, New York, and upcoming summer walks will be held in select cities in June. The majority of remaining walks take place in the fall, giving walkers plenty of time to prepare and raise funds for this worthy cause. If you'd like to take part in Walk4Hearing, first check to see if there is a walk taking place near you.
CapTel has been a major sponsor since the inception. "We're thrilled to again help raise funds and awareness nationwide," John Kinstler, CapTel Outreach Manager said. "It is one of those wonderful opportunities where shared hearing experiences bring people together. You realize – I am not alone in this, there are people across the country coming together in support and awareness."
Come join this uplifting community of people to celebrate and advocate for the 36 million Americans – one in 10 people – living with hearing loss today and walk for a worthy cause.

James Grady scored in the final minute of the final game to hand Gretna an amazing victory that clinched promotion and consigned Ross County to the drop.
Michael Gardyne blasted County into the lead from the edge of the box.
Nicky Deverdics replied four minutes later from close range and Grady broke clear to fire Gretna ahead.
Deiarmuid O'Carroll bundled an equaliser, but Grady broke clear to fire Gretna ahead and deny St Johnstone promotion in a dramatic finish.
By that time, County had already gone down after Airdrie beat Queen of the South.
Gretna had been forced to win their final game after squandering a 12-point lead in Division One.
And Grady had been preferred to David Graham up front for Gretna with the team going into the final day leading the league by a point struggling to score goals in recent weeks.
David Nicholls also returned from suspension to replace the injured Steven Hogg in the Gretna midfield.
Mark McCulloch was back in the County defence following his ban, while the returning Martin Scott and Hugh Robertson had to make do with places on the bench.
It was County who broke the deadlock after 30 minutes, Gardyne hammering the ball into the top left-hand corner from 20 yards.
But Gretna drew level four minutes later when Grady's flick from a Nicholls free-kick was saved by Craig Samson and Deverdics scrambled the ball home.
And it looked like the title was heading to Gretna when Nicholls' flick-on sent Grady clear and the veteran striker slipped the ball through the advancing goalkeeper's legs.
However, it was level again four minutes into the second half when a Gardyne cross was headed on by Don Cowie and O'Carroll bundled in the equaliser.
The drama was not over yet and David Graham set up Grady to score and send Gretna to the SPL for the first time in their history with their third title in a row.
Ross County: Samson, McCulloch, Moore, Dowie, Keddie, Adams (Gunn 87), Gardyne, O'Carroll, Shields (Higgins 65), Cowie, Morgan (Scott 46).

Costuming is one of the great joys of nerdom, but it is often hampered by the lack of time, talent, or money it can take to put together a good looking costume. Except there is one form of costuming where this this isn’t an issue: Steampunk. Yes, that neo-Victorian/Edwardian way of dress is a costume that you can put together by yourself on the cheap. Not only that, I’m going to do you a favor and show you how.
The first thing you want to do is look through your closet. You’ll be amazed at the stuff you’ve acquired over the years. Look for anything at all that could possibly be used. Are there a pair of shoes that look vaguely steampunkish? GREAT. If you’re a guy, do you have any slacks that you no longer wear, or maybe even a vest that you bought for that wedding a while back? That is a good start to an awesome costume. Gather everything you could possibly think of using in a room and evaluate it. If you’ve got any items that pair well together, then you can design the costume around them. Keep those items in mind as we make a trip to a magical place for steampunk: the thrift shop.
Thrift shops are steampunk heaven because of the amazing things that people give away, and is a great place to add to your garb. As you start looking through the store remember that you want the garb to look like something somebody would actually wear. We don’t want anyone dressed like Delirium of the Endless in the Victorian era, so stay focused. It’s also why I cannot recommend enough to at least have a vague idea of your character to help you stay focused. Now I’m not saying you need to have a complex back story, but are you an explorer, or a mad scientist, or a citizen. Your character will dictate what items you want to buy.
When going through the thrift shop I cannot recommend enough to keep an open mind. Whether or not you have a keystone item to build the costume around, you don’t want discount anything cool you may see. For guys I really recommend starting at the vests, or jackets. If you can find a great vest or jacket, both are major items that you can design the costume around. For women, check the dresses and skirts first. I’ve got some friends who created their outfits based on items they found there. For both men and women, do not forget to check the hats. I got one of my favorite hats from a local thrift shop. Also, I cannot emphasize this enough: if you don’t find anything usable on your first trip, do not get discouraged. The outfit I have shown with this article took months and many thrift stores to find that jacket. Cool things will show up, so feel free to search other stores in town and just understand this may take a bit of patience.
Time to accessorize our garb, and this can be done both fun and cheap. If you want a steampunk gun, buy a water or nerf gun. Now figure out the color scheme you want. Steampunk generally has earthy tones, along with a bit of silver. That said, this is your gun so pick a scheme that you think looks cool. Next buy paints of the colors that you want. Be sure that that the paint you’ve bought will stick to plastic. Now, obviously, paint the gun to steampunk it. Goggles, can be found at Steampunk Emporium for under $20 as I type this, so if you want em, they can be bought fairly cheap. For some extra bling, buy some copper or bronze looking chain at a craft store or even Walmart, and sew it onto parts of your garb.
Now, you know the cheapest way to get a costume together: make your pilgrimage to the thrift shop. Have fun finding cool items, and thinking about what you want to be. Never forget that you are not building your costume to anyone else’s standards but your own. The important thing about this is that you think that you look badass! Finally, have fun doing this. Be creative, and let your mind go wild.
With steampunk there are almost no wrong answers.

Whether you are cooking chicken, turkey, red meat or any other kind of meat, it should not be undercooked or overcooked. By serving undercooked meat you are putting the health of your family and friends at risk while overcooked meat is tasteless and spoils the meal. Thus, to ensure that the meat is perfectly cooked, it is necessary to use a meat thermometer. Meat thermometer eliminates the problem of under and overcooking because you can monitor the temperature of the meat correctly. However, you need to understand some things to use your meat thermometer properly.
Bulb and bimetallic meat thermometers are cheap, but they take a lot of time to give temperature readings which are not very accurate. Moreover, there is also the risk of the glass parts breaking apart in the meat. Digital meat thermometers are the best options available in the market. Instant-read digital thermometers give instant readings. Digital thermometers with the probe are useful for grilling large cuts of chicken, turkey, etc. The probe which is inserted into the meat is connected to a base unit which displays the temperature. Thus, the temperature can be monitored while the meat is cooking.
You need to determine the target temperature for the meat before cooking. The minimum healthy cooking temperature for medium and medium-rare cooking for red meat and pork is 145 degrees F. For chicken and turkey; the minimum safe cooking temperature is 165 degrees F. Different recipes have different temperature requirements for the meat. So you need to choose the correct temperature accordingly.
The probe of the meat thermometer needs to be inserted into the thickest part of the meat. The probe needs to be entirely inserted into the meat to get an accurate reading. Usually, the probe needs to insert 1/2 inch into the meat. But if the thickness of the meat exceeds 1 inch, then you need to insert the probe deeper. The temperature reading should start decreasing as you insert the probe deeper into the meat. Stop inserting further when the temperature starts rising. It is important to avoid contact with bone because bone heats at a faster rate than meat which will cause the thermometer to give a wrong temperature reading.
In case of thin or small cuts of meat, you can measure the temperature 5-10 minutes or less before the cooking is expected to finish. After that, check the temperature every two minutes to determine whether the meat has reached the right temperature or not. If you are roasting a large piece of meat, it is better to take the initial measurement 30 minutes before the process is expected to end.
Meat continues to cook even after it is removed from heat. Thus, a large and thick piece of meat needs to be removed from the heat source as soon as the meat thermometer indicates a temperature of 5 degrees less than the target temperature. Allow the cut to rest for 5-10 minutes so that its temperature reaches the target temperature.
Clean the probe of the meat thermometer under hot water if it is not sensitive to water. In case it is not compatible with water, wipe the probe with a paper towel or washcloth dampened by hot water.

This weekend I completed my first 20-mile training run and I'm feeling a bit more confident about the marathon in October. Long runs are supposed to be mentally and physically challenging, but right now my body is fighting me more than usual!
Marathons are awesome because I love to push myself and I love to race. Training runs are great quiet time; especially when I forget my iPod, it's just God, the road, and me. But, despite my love for full marathons, I want to take a temporary break from the full 26.2. Running is a lifetime sport and I don't want to completely burn out after running for only four years! If God blesses me with the health, I would love to be that crazy old lady still running at 80 years old.
How do you avoid burning out? Whether it's exercise, faith, work, parenting, marriage, etc. It's possible to burn out on anything!
I'm going to get a little crazy and try something new - I signed up for my first half marathon, the Fargo Half Marathon, coming up spring 2014! I've ran quite a few 13+ training runs but never an official race. Who doesn't love to run 13 miles! Just kidding, don't answer that question... hehe. Running shorter races will be an opportunity to 1.) Enjoy sleeping in with Leo & Eli a bit more on the weekend, 2.) Focus more on speed, and 3.) Run my first half!
M - 6.5 mile run.
H - 30-Day Shred Level 2, adventuring with Eli and the stroller, carrot-harvesting in the garden.
F - 7.25 mile run WITHOUT the jogging stroller! Leo had the day off of work due to wet fields.
S - 20 mile long run in 2:58 at 8:56/mile average pace. I started out at 7:30 a.m. and the morning heated up FAST! Ran out of water in my camelbak, ran on mostly country gravel roads, had to make a gravel road "pit stop" due to GI issues... but, all in all, the run was successful. Getting through that first 20-miler is always a mental barrier and I feel a bit more confident about my first post-baby marathon coming up!
Dealing with burnout depends on what I'm burnt out.
Sometimes it's time away. Sometimes it's working on something similar. Sometimes it's participating in the activity or item with other people. Sometimes it's journaling about it to find sanity or peace.
It's important for me to understand why the burnout is occurring so I can make the best decision on how to recover from it.
It can be very humbling to look at a preferred activity and say, "this isn't working for me right now."
One of my hardest moments was taking a break from volunteering at Life with Cancer. I loved those clients, but there came a point where my life changed and I needed a break. Fortunately the volunteer coordinator understood. Walking away instead of straggling on, not being at my fullest, etc. was the best decision for all of us.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Wendy! It does help to understand why the burnout is happening and then go from there. Very good point.

MARIANA, Brazil (AFP) - A dam burst on Thursday (Nov 6) at a mining waste site in Brazil, killing at least 17 people and injuring more than 50, a fire chief said.
"The number of missing is going to surpass 40 but that is not official," said Adao Severino Junior, fire chief in the city of Mariana in south-eastern Minas Gerais state.
The village of Bento Rodrigues near the dam is practically buried in mud, the fire chief said.
"The situation is grim. It is dark. There is a lot of mud," Severino said.
Rescue operations will continue through the night, he added.

Weddings are a huge and expensive undertaking and can leave an even bigger footprint on the environment. More and more couples are looking for ways to to host an eco-conscious wedding which can be difficult since weddings are typically associated with hyper-consumption and produce a great deal of waste. Invitations, decorations, food, travel, etc. the list is endless. Unfortunately, many items at a wedding only get used once and are tossed into the landfill. By incorporating any number of these suggestions for an eco-conscious wedding, you’ll be doing your part to sustain the earth while being a role model for others.
Cutting down on paper invitations is one of the easiest ways to host an eco-conscious wedding. Opt for post-consumer recycled paper printed using soy ink, if possible. Also consider having guests RSVP online through your wedding website to save on postage, extra paper and printing. Want to eliminate paper all together? Why not go super-eco and send your invitations electronically through a site such as Glosite.com. Be sure to limit the amount of paper during the ceremony and reception as well. Instead of one printed program or menu per person, opt for a chalkboard instead which can be easily repurposed from any picture frame or old window using chalkboard paint.
Flowers can travel thousands of miles from developing nations where harmful pesticide usage is the norm, so why not make a statement and try something a little less conventional? Potted herbs or an array of succulents or terrariums make for great centerpieces, as do old books and simple DIY pinwheels. Make bouquets and boutonnières from one-of-a-kind, hand crafted buttons, vintage brooches or even recycled newspaper. Bring your centerpieces to life with bright colors of organic fruit which doubles as a snack for guests to nibble on. If you’re using candles, opt for soy or beeswax; they burn cleaner and use less soot than their paraffin counterparts. If you must have flowers, utilize locally grown flowers harvested in season or reach out to friends and neighbors who may be willing to donate a few of their own. They’ll be much cheaper and you’ll be supporting local business owners. Repurpose flowers by donating them to a local organization such as a hospital or senior care facility, giving them more than one life after the wedding. A great local source for flowers is Botanica Floral Design, where they specialize in local, organic, fair trade and sustainably grown flowers.
If you feel wedding favors are necessary, consider giving organic, fair trade chocolate, homemade jam or honey. Know your audience and think about what they’re apt to use and not waste. You may have good intentions, but what will really get used? Is that CD going to get listened to? Are seeds or a potted plant really going to get planted? Remember, not everyone has a green thumb.
Be original and make a statement in vintage, organic or sustainable materials. A dress can be custom made from a vintage slip and several other unworn dresses that are hanging in your closet. Design your dress so you can wear it again – you can’t get any more eco-friendly than that! Consider a pre-owned dress or rent one, and if you have no desire to keep the dress after the wedding, donate it to a charity that can sell it to create funds and perhaps save someone else from needing to purchase a new dress.
When possible, use a catering company that sources local, organic, seasonal ingredients to eliminate carbon miles. One of our favorite local caterers is Phresh Organic Catering. Minimize the amount of meat on the menu and decrease your carbon footprint even more. Have a strict budget? Plan a potluck wedding and ask everyone to bring his or her favorite summer dish.
If you really don’t need any gifts, don’t ask for them. No one said you must have a registry and think how much better you’ll feel for saving another toaster from heading to the landfill. Another alternative is to register with a charitable registry like the I Do Foundation that donates a percentage of the money spent on your gifts to a charity of your choice. Still thinking you want presents? Consider setting up a green wedding gift registry with a wish list of earth friendly products you’d like (recycled, locally produced, fair trade, etc.).
When planning your eco-conscious wedding, be sure as much of your wedding goods has been or can be recycled or used again. This includes plates, cutlery, linens and tablecloths, glassware, decor, etc. (durable is preferred to “compostable”). Thrift stores can be great for items such as vintage, mismatched plates and other serving ware, or sheets which can easily be turned into napkins. Other miscellaneous items can be scouted via swaps, borrowed from friends and family or rented inexpensively.

Each week I upload the iClicker participation points to my gradebook. I have approximately 40 points available to them for participation, but in my syllabus they will max out at 10 points total. Is there a way in the gradebook to set it so the category max's out at 10?
Erin, greetings! The only real way that I can think to do this is to use weighted assignment groups and then set the max weight you want these points to count towards the final grade - How do I weight the final course grade based on assignment groups?
