Tottenham refuse to give up on Brendan Rodgers with hope behind the scenes at Spurs that the Leicester boss will change his mind and quit the Foxes to take over from Jose Mourinho
- Tottenham are still hopeful they can persuade Brendan Rodgers to be next boss
- Leicester's manager publicly ruled himself out of the running on Wednesday
- Rodgers is club's preferred candidate after Julian Nagelsmann joined Bayern
- Talks with Ajax boss Erik ten Hag lined up and he is willing to consider taking job
Tottenham are not giving up on persuading Brendan Rodgers to take their vacant head coach's job despite the Leicester boss' public declaration that he doesn't want the role.
Speaking on Wednesday, Rodgers publicly ruled himself out of the running for the Tottenham job.
Tottenham still remain hopeful they can persuade Brendan Rodgers to become head coach
The Leicester boss publicly ruled himself out of the running for the Spurs job earlier this week
But it is understood that Spurs are not ready to turn their back on Rodgers, although they have lined up talks with Ajax boss Erik ten Hag, who is emerging as a candidate for the position.
But Tottenham's refusal to give up hope on luring Rodgers indicates the Northern Irishman is now the club's preferred candidate following the Julian Nagelsmann appointment as next Bayern Munich boss.
There is some hope behind the scenes at Tottenham that the former Liverpool boss could have a change of heart according to how Leicester finish their season.
The Foxes are set to clinch Champions League qualification and face Chelsea in the FA Cup final next month.
There is hope behind the scenes in North London that Rodgers may yet change his mind
And while Rodgers has reservations about leaving Leicester for Spurs this summer, there is also recognition from all parties that the process of wrestling the 48-year-old away from the King Power Stadium could turn ugly and be very expensive given he still has four years to run on his contract.
In contrast, Ten Hag has just one year left to run on his current deal at Ajax, and would be relatively cheaper to obtain.
It is understood the Dutchman is aware of the interest from Tottenham and would be willing to hold talks about the role.
Indeed, sources claim Ajax chiefs believe Ten Hag would be tempted by the role.

Woman killed when Corvette flips in east Harris Co.
Published 6:31 am, Monday, June 17, 2013
A woman died and a man was rushed to the hospital after their sports car plowed into a ditch and flipped over several times Sunday night in east Harris County.
Cherissa Cici died in the single-vehicle crash about 6:30 p.m. in the 2800 block of Grace, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said Stade Williams was taken to a Memorial Hermann hopsital. No information was available about Williams' possible injuries.
Deputies said Williams was driving a blue 2010 Chevrolet Corvette westbound on Grace at a high rate of speed when he failed to stay in a single lane. The car veered from the road, smashed into a brick mailbox, careened into a ditch and rolled over several times, hitting a fence and a tree.

- Plane (tool)
A plane is a
toolfor shaping wood. Planes are used to flatten, reduce the thickness of, and impart a smooth surface to a rough piece of lumber. Special types of planes are designed to cut joints or decorative mouldings.
Hand planes are generally the combination of a cutting edge, such as a sharpened metal plate, attached to a firm body, that when moved over a wood surface, take up relatively uniform shavings, by nature of the body riding on the 'high spots' in the wood, and also by providing a relatively constant angle to the cutting edge, render the planed surface very smooth. A cutter which extends below the bottom surface, or sole, of the plane slices off shavings of wood. A large, flat sole on a plane guides the cutter to remove only the highest parts of an imperfect surface, until, after several passes, the surface is flat and smooth.
Though most planes are pushed across a piece of wood, holding it with one or both hands,
Japanese planes are pulled toward the body, not pushed away. Woodworking machinerythat perform the same function as hand planes include the jointerand the thickness planer, also called a thicknesser.
History and development of the hand plane
Hand planes are ancient, originating thousands of years ago. Early planes were made from wood with a rectangular slot or
mortisecut across the center of the body. The cutting blade or iron was held in place with a wooden wedge. The wedge was tapped into the mortise and adjusted with a small mallet, a piece of scrap wood or with the heel of the users hand. Planes of this type have been found in excavations of old sites as well as drawings of woodworking from medieval Europe and Asia. Roman planesfound at Pompeiiare largely similar to planes in use today. In fact wooden planes can still be bought from modern plane makers.
In the mid 1860's, Leonard Bailey began producing a line of cast iron-bodied hand planes, the patents for which were later purchased by Stanley Rule & Lever, now
Stanley Works. The original Bailey designs were further evolved and added to by Justus Trautand others at Stanley Rule & Lever. The Bailey and Bedrock designs became the basis for most modern metal hand plane designs manufactured today. The Bailey design is still manufactured by Stanley Works.
Modern hand planes are made from wood,
cast ironor even bronze.
Parts of a plane
Two styles of plane are shown with some parts labeled. The top of the image is a bench plane; the bottom is a block plane.
* A: The Mouth is an opening in the bottom of the plane down through which the blade extends, and up through which wood shavings pass.
* B: The Iron is a plate of steel with a sharpened edge which cuts the wood. Some people refer to it as the blade.
* C: The Lever cap holds the blade down firmly to the body of the plane.
* D: The Depth adjustment knob controls how far the blade extends through the mouth.
* E: The Knob is a handle on the front of the plane.
* F: The Chipbreaker or Cap iron serves to make the blade more rigid and to curl and break apart wood shavings as they pass through the mouth.
* G: The Lateral adjustment lever is used to adjust the iron by skewing it so that the depth of cut is uniform across the mouth.
* H: The Tote is a handle on the rear of the plane.
* I: The Finger rest knob Block planes are held in the palm of the hand the tip of the user's index finger rests in the indentation on top of the knob. On some planes the knob is used to adjust the size of the mouth by allowing a sliding portion of the sole to be moved back or forward to accomplish this.
* J: The Frog is a sliding iron wedge that holds the plane Iron at the proper angle. It slides to adjust the gap between the cutting edge and the front of the mouth. The frog is screwed down to the inside of the sole through two parallel slots and on many planes is only adjustable with a screwdriver when the plane iron is removed. Some planes, such as the
StanleyBedrock line and the bench planes made by Lie-Nielsen have a screw mechanism that allows the frog to be adjusted without removing the blade.
Types of planes
Most planes are categorized as either bench planes or
block planes. In modern-day carpentry, electrically powered hand planers (also called hand or handheld power planers or simply power planes) have joined the family.
Bench planes are characterized by the cutting iron bedded with the bevel facing down and attached to a chipbreaker. Block planes are characterized by the absence of a chipbreaker and the cutting iron bedded with the bevel up. The block plane is usually a smaller tool that can be held with one hand and is used for general purpose work such as taking down a knot in the wood, smoothing up small pieces, making the end of a sawed board square and smooth.
Different types of bench planes are designed to perform different tasks, with the name and size of the plane being defined by the use. They are designed to be used in order:
scrub plane, which removes large amounts of wood quickly, is typically around 9 inches (230 mm) in length, but narrower than a smoothing plane, and has an iron with a curved cutting edge.
jack planeis around 14 inches (350 mm) long, continues the job of roughing out, but with more accuracy than the scrub.
jointer plane(including the smaller fore plane) is between 18 to 24 inches (450-600 mm) long, and is used for jointing and final flattening out of boards.
smoothing plane, up to 10 inches (250 mm) long, is used to begin preparing the surface for finishing.
Planes may also be classified by the material of which they are constructed:
* A wooden plane is entirely wood except for the blade. The iron is held into the plane with a wooden wedge, and is adjusted by striking the plane with a hammer.
* A transitional plane has a wooden body with a metal casting set in it to hold and adjust the blade.
* A metal plane is largely constructed of metal, except, perhaps, for the handles.
* An infill plane has a body of metal filled with very dense and hard wood on which the blade rests and the handles are formed. They are typically of English or Scottish manufacture. They are prized for their ability to smooth difficult grained woods when set very finely.
Some special types of planes include:
spokeshave, which has a very short sole, either flat or curved, and is used for smoothing curved surfaces.
shoulder plane, is characterized by a cutter that is flush with the edges of the plane, allowing trimming right up to the edge of a workpiece. It is commonly used to clean up dadoes (housings) and tenons for joinery.
moulding plane, which is used to cut mouldings along the edge of a board
rabbet plane, also known as a rebate or openside plane, which cuts rabbets (rebates) i.e. shoulders, or steps.
* The plow plane, which cuts grooves and dadoes (housings).
* The router plane, which cleans up the bottom of recesses such as shallow mortises and dadoes (housings).
chisel plane, which removes wood up to a perpendicular surface such as from the bottom inside of a box.
finger plane, which is used for smoothing very small pieces such as toy parts, very thin strips of wood, etc. The very small curved bottom variates are known as violin makers planes and are used in making stringed instruments.
bullnose planehas a very short leading edge to its body, and so can be used in tight spaces; most commonly of the shoulder and rabbet variety.
* The combination plane, which combines the function of a moulding and rabbet planes, having different cutters and adjustments
* The circular or compass plane, which utilizes an adjustment system to control the flex on a steel sheet sole and create a uniform curve. A concave setting permits great control for planing large curves, like table sides or chair arms, and the convex works well for chair arms, legs and backs, and other applications.
Using a plane
woodalong its side grain should result in thin shavings rising above the surface of the wood as the edge of the plan iron is pushed forward, leaving a smooth surface, but sometimes splintering occurs. This is largely a matter of cutting "with the grain" or "against the grain" respectively, referring to the side grain of the piece of wood being worked.
The grain direction can be determined by looking at the edge or side of the work piece. Wood fibers can be seen running out to the surface that is being planed. When the fibers meet the work surface it looks like the point of an arrow that indicates the direction. With some very figured and difficult woods the grain runs in many directions and therefore working against the grain is inevitable. In this case, a very sharp and finely-set blade is required.
When planing "against the grain", the wood fibers are lifted by the plane iron, resulting in a jagged finish, called tearout.
Planing the end grain of the board involves different techniques, and frequently different planes designed for working end grain.

It was gathered that the crisis, which erupted last Friday has forced many in Buruku and neighbouring Gboko local government area to flee their homes for fear of being killed.
According to an eyewitness, “It all started on Friday when the herdsmen forcefully entered our village to graze on farmland but were resisted by our youths. They left only to mobilise and storm our village in their numbers shooting sporadically and chasing everyone from their houses.”
“As we speak about 10 people have been killed while many are still unaccounted for this is just as our entire community and neighbouring villages have all been deserted,” the eye witness added.
When contacted, the Benue state chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Alhaji Garus Gololo, said the invaders were not indigenous Fulani, adding, “they came from Taraba and went to Mkgovur village on Friday but were resisted by the villagers.”
Gololo, who could not ascertain the number of casualties said, “It is our agreement now that any Fulani man not known to any host community should not be allowed to stay in any community in Benue, so when the herders entered Mkgovur village they were resisted, I think that was what provoked them to invade the village this (yesterday) morning.”
Also, when contacted, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police Moses Yamu, who confirmed the attack said, “Last Friday a report was received from the Ardo of Fulani in Buruku that some youths in the area attacked and inflicted machete cuts on two cows while grazing thereby scattering the rest into the bushes in Benewura at Binev council ward.
“The Police Area Commander alongside the Divisional Police Officer in the area visited the scene and appealed to the parties to desist from any crisis. Same day the Vigilante Commander in the area brought to the Police station one Tyowon Terkuma of Tse-Iwa Mbalagh in Tombo ward, who was reported to have been injured by herdsmen, whose cattle were trying to enter his farm.
“He was rushed to the hospital where he was treated and discharged the same day. Unfortunately at the noon of Saturday, we had reports that Tiv youths from neighbouring Tongur in Katsina/Ala allegedly attacked a Fulani camp and scattered their cow at Dogo Tombo in Buruku.
“The DPO led men to the area where three persons with machete were rushed to the General Hospital in Gboko for treatment but one of the injured died on the way”, the police spokesman added.
Yamu said more Police personnel have been deployed to the area to restore calm and also prevent an escalation of the crisis.

Since 2001 and the growth of the threat of terrorism, the requirement for flight deck security has become part of the overall aviation security measures. Some national airworthiness authorities have required airlines to equip their aircraft with cockpit door surveillance systems, also known as flight deck door monitoring systems. This can take the form of a video surveillance system for the pilots to visually monitor the entire area outside the cockpit door and visually identify persons requesting entry, and to detect potential suspicious behaviour and threats.
GVH Aerospace, together with the OEM of Skycam, has responded to the challenge of flight deck security with the Skycam closed circuit flight deck door monitoring video system. GVH Aerospace qualified the Skycam equipment and integrated it into the customer’s Bombardier Q400 fleet. The Skycam installation was approved as an STC that can be retrofitted to all Q400 aircraft, and has since been approved as an STC for use on the Airbus A320 family of aircraft. The Skycam installation has also been approved as a minor modification for the Airbus A330, Boeing 737, Boeing 747SP, Boeing 757, BAE-146, and Bombardier CL-600 aircraft. This resulted in:
- A quick and affordable way of complying with the NAA requirement to monitor cockpit doors
- EASA-approved modification and parts, allowing easy transfer of the aircraft to other regulatory jurisdiction during lease transfers

1. Make sure you have your tobacco prepped for handling by removing the main stem from the center of the leaf. It is actually easier to remove this stem from top to bottom rather than bottom to top.
2. Lay out as many leaves as you want on a flat surface until they get dry, but not crisp. Moisture content is pretty important when it comes to processing your tobacco. If it is completely dry when shredding, the tobacco will be ground into powder. If the tobacco is too wet, it will shred OK, but it will be sticky and more likley to bind any machines used. Don't worry, it's not as hard as it sounds - it's just something to keep an eye on throughout the process.
3. Now this is the step where you can use a few different items depending your financial situation, time, or desired quality.
Coffee Grinder/ Food Processor
I consider both or these tools the same, as they both cut the tobacco in flakes rather then fine shreds. Something to remember here is that you don't want to grind it too fine or you won't be able to smoke your tobacco. This is only a decent option if you are on a tight budget. You can find these for a resonable price at you local store.
One of the things noticed when processing tobacco with a coffee grinder or food processor is that cigarettes will burn smooth, but your ember can fall off your cigarette because of consistency of the tobacco - it can't hold together well when in flakes rather than shreds.
Leaf Only's Tobacco Shredder
We have used grinders, paper shredders, scissors, and many other items in an attempt to find a decent way to process tobacco leaves. We consider this product to be the holy grail for RYO and MYO cigarettes. It is an affordable, easy to use shredder that was designed specifically for grinding tobacco leaves.
Start by taking the leaf halves you've made by seperarting the center stem from the leaves. Then you have a few options. First, you'll want to run your leaves through at least once. Then, depending on your preference, you'll want to run a portion of it through again. A good rule of thumb for most people is about half of what was first ground. Then, for an even better RYO consistency, you can use your hands to just quickly break up the longer strands that were from the first pass-through. It's something that you will quickly get a feel for and is very easy to figure out.
This is by far the most affordable option there is, but is also the most labor intensive. We have a great movie to view as well on how to do this thanks to our friend Will! To start, take the halves you've made by removing the main tobacco stem. Then take a few and stack them flat then fold them in half. After that roll it up and tuck any excess ends in. What you do next is take your scissors and cut on a 45 degree angle. Make sure when you cut to get as deep in the scissors as you can as it makes a easy cut and more control. Now it's all prefrence on how fine you enjoy it, I recommend 1-2mm. Once you cut all you need to do is make a ball of your cut tobacco in your hand and roll it till it break's those long string up until satisfied.
4. After processing your unmanufactured tobacco into RYO tobacco, you are ready to inject the tobacco into cigarette tubes!
5. Once you decide on which tubes best suite your need, it's time to figure out which Injector for Cigarettes is right for you..
Manual Lever Injectors
When it comes to these types of cigarette machines, we prefer to use the Powermatic 1. These machines roll smooth burning cigarettes with no ember issues, but you roll at a slightly slower pace.
Now these machine can roll a decently smooth burning cigarette, but can have ember's fall sometimes or ash fall more frequently due to the way it packs, but you can roll at a very fast pace. The exception is our Powermatic 2s. These injectors work wonderfully!
6. Now your ready to smoke for a fraction of the price!

On the Scattering Properties of Urban and Maritime Aerosols and its Humidity
AbstractThe scattering properties of aerosols play a dominant role in radiative energy transfer and consequently influencing the visibility and turbidity in the atmosphere. In the present attempt, calculations for scattered intensity have been made in case of urban and maritime aerosols in the varying conditions of relative humidity. These theoretical findings suggest that asymmetry factor increases, in general, with an increase of relative humidity beyond 60 to 70% of RH for small particles, and with increase of aerosol size.

Budget Hits Australia’s Poorest Families Hardest, ANU Report Reveals
12 May 2016 at 11:53 am
Australia’s poorest families will be hardest hit by the federal budget when the new measures come into place, a new report from the Australian National University has revealed.
The report, which looked at the “hip-pocket” measures expected to have an immediate impact on household budgets in the year 2018/19, showed there was a clear relationship between the impact of these measures and income levels.
In particular the report said families who fall in the bottom 20 per cent of income distribution will most feel the effects of changes to family payments, childcare, taxation, tobacco excise and superannuation.
According to the report, single parent families in the bottom 20 per cent are expected to be worse off by an average $1,209 in 2018/19, which represents a 3.7 per cent reduction in their disposable income.
Meanwhile couples with children in the bottom 20 per cent will be worse off by $1,429 or 2.8 per cent.
The major financial impact for these families comes as a result of the removal of the family tax benefit part A and part B supplements which amount to around $480 per year net of FTB maximum rate increases per child and around $368 per year reduction in FTB B supplements per family.
Some single parent families will also lose around $1,728 in 2018/19 from a lower FTB part B payment.
On average, these families will also be heavily impacted by the increase in the tobacco excise – with an average impact of -$173 and -0.5 per cent for the bottom income category and just -0.1 per cent for the top 20 per cent.
In contrast, at the other end of the scale, the report said the top 20 per cent of families will be ahead financially by around $211 per year thanks in the main to personal income taxation cuts with a higher second top threshold.
Overall the Distributional Modelling of Federal Budget 2016-17 authored by Ben Phillips, associate professor at ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods, said the budget had a “regressive impact”.
“The losses for the middle and top income groups are proportionately much less than low income families,” the report said.
“Superannuation changes do assist in providing a more progressive budget impact.
“The top 20 per cent wears a $645 burden while the bottom 20 per cent gains $34 each year on average from the selected changes that were modelled for 2018/19.
“The superannuation changes while significant are not enough to alter the conclusion that this budget has a regressive impact.”

We have been exploring different options on which we could expand our open source platform for Fieldforce into a true collaboration tool that would streamline the efforts of CAD users to keep up to the as-built markups coming in from the field.
The short video below showcases what we’ve accomplished to date. We call the process “closed loop monitoring” which we borrowed from the pharmaceutical industry with which we’ve done past work. The term “Closed Loop Monitoring” refers to the nature of the design documents being released to the field, coming back as redlined markups and the changes being incorporated back into the original design hence closing the loop.
Once again, we must highlight that this platform is meant for utility companies that need to have cloud functionality run internally as a Hybrid Cloud solution and not meant as a replacement for the cloud based BIM 360 product available by Autodesk. We use the entire suite of Autodesk Forge APIs that we can and are expanding to new features with them including plug-ins for BIM 360.
There are multiple workflow possibilities here but the main take away is that using Forge viewers we could easily help engineering and design teams close the loop with field constriction crews working on Substation projects.

ELTON JOHN’S GREATEST HITS
The time was 1974, I was about nine years old and ready to rock. Elton was of course already a world-wide superstar and I was a huge fan from listening to him on FM radio… but now… now it was time to make the move to vinyl! So, playing it safe I picked up the amazing ELTON JOHN’S GREATEST HITS. Back then greatest hits records were always the way I started my journey into an artist work. I figured start with the hits and work your way backwards. (more…)

A life-size bronze statue of Seabiscuit and his jockey, George "The Iceman" Woolf, was unveiled July 17 at the Remington Carriage Museum in Cardston, Alberta, Canada. Woolf, one of the greatest riders of his era who died soon after a spill on the clubhouse turn at Santa Anita Jan. 13, 1946, was a native of Cardston.
The statue, by Lethbridge artist Don Toney, was commissioned by ranchers Jack and Ida Lowe. It shows Seabiscuit, the rags-to-riches horse who made headlines in the 1930s and was the subject of a best-selling book and movie, in a classic match race with War Admiral that was billed as the "Race of the Century."
The statue is titled "So long, Charley!", the phrase reportedly shouted by Woolf as he and Seabiscuit defeated War Admiral in the Nov. 1, 1938, match race at Pimlico that was witnessed by 40,000 fans and drew a radio audience estiamted at more than 40 million. Woolf rode Seabiscuit in place of his regular rider, Red Pollard, who was injured.
Each year a jockey is selected to receive the George Woolf Award to memorialize the rider. The Woolf trophy is a replica of the full-size statue of the late jockey which adorns Santa Anita’s Paddock Gardens area.

Cara had coccidia when we got her, but I have read research that it is killed more easily with ammonia than bleach so that's what I used–- pick up, pour ammonia over area. Neither Connor nor Arwen got it. But since you weren't doing it before, do take in stool samples of the other dogs to avoid them continuing to pass it around. A dog can have it with limited effect and still be passing it in stools to recontaminate your pup.
Looking for a good vet in Philadelphia!
We are picking up our 4-year old Basenji rescue this coming weekend, and I would like to have a vet lined up for him as soon as possible. In my former life, I worked as a vet tech, so I have a good base of knowledge to help me pick out a good practice, but what I don't know is whether there is a practice in this area that has a good deal of experience with Basenjis. Philly and its burbs are home to lots and lots of vet practices, so a little help in narrowing them down would be very helpful. Thanks!

If you take your clay out of the oven and find it’s still soft, it might be one of two reasons: the temperature was too low, or it wasn’t baked long enough. Test the accuracy of your oven with an independent thermometer and give the item another baking cycle.
Should polymer clay be soft after baking?
Of course the first sign that you’re finished baking polymer clay is when your kitchen timer chimes. But it won’t feel done. Polymer is fairly soft when initially taken from the oven. It needs to be cooled thoroughly to attain its ultimate hardness.
Is polymer clay still flexible after baking?
Should polymer clay be flexible once it’s been baked? Well the quick answer is yes, as long as your bead is under 1cm in thickness. Anything thicker won’t be very flexible. Polymer clay is meant to be flexible if it’s baked properly.
How do I know if my Sculpey is done baking?
Bake for 15 minutes every quarter inch of thickness. For example, a piece of 1/2″ thickness should be cured for 30 minutes. To verify the curing, try putting the tip of your fingernail into the bottom of your piece after it has cooled; it will leave a mark but will not truly pierce the clay.
Is Sculpey clay supposed to be hard?
All polymer clay brands should be squishable to some degree if they are fresh, even if they are cold. At a minimum, you should be able to round off the corners and edges of the block without much effort. Just bear in mind that Kato, Fimo Professional or Pardo will always feel stiffer than Premo or Fimo Soft.
Does polymer clay get hard after baking?
Even if it has been cooked at the proper temperature and for the appropriate period of time, polymer clay will still have a little bit of softness immediately after it has been removed from the oven. The only way for it to completely harden is for it to be cooled and, by extension, cured.
Can you bake Sculpey twice?
If you need to bake a piece of clay more than once, there is no reason that you can’t do so. In point of fact, it is normal practice to bake different elements of a complicated work separately before assembling and attaching them after the item has been baked. It is also not a problem to join unbaked clay to baked clay and then bake the resulting combination.
Why is my polymer clay not flexible?
Clay used for polymer art is not easily broken. Polymer clay is flexible since it is created from vinyl; therefore, if your product is sufficiently thin, you will be able to bend or flex it. This is to be expected and considered typical. Inadequate baking has occurred if the object you are working on does not flex or bend but rather breaks or snaps instead.
Does polymer clay stay soft?
In the correct conditions, polymer clay will retain its pliability for an exceptionally extended period of time. It does not become brittle when exposed to air, and even if it does become brittle, it may be re-moisturized with the use of specialized products.
Why is my polymer clay not hard?
2. Even after baking, the creation you made with polymer clay will not harden. If after removing the clay from the oven you find that it has not hardened, there are two possible explanations: either the temperature was too low or the clay did not spend enough time in the oven. In order to ensure the accuracy of your oven, use a thermometer that is not attached to it, and run the item through another baking cycle.
How do you know if polymer clay is Underbaked?
The only way to determine this for certain is to make an effort to shatter a piece. Polymer clay that has been fully baked can be bent without breaking. When you try to break a piece of underbaked polymer clay in your hands, it will either break in two or crumble into tiny pieces.
Do you glaze polymer clay after baking?
Glazing polymer clay with a water-based polyurethane glaze after baking it is one way to bring out the shine in the clay and give it a more polished appearance. Glazing is a wonderful method to utilize when producing jewelry out of polymer clay. It can truly give your designs a professional polish, along with a whole host of other benefits.
How long does Sculpey take to dry?
During the drying process, place your air dry clay creations either flat or standing up on a nonporous surface that has a clean and smooth finish in a location that has a low relative humidity. In order to guarantee that the projects completely solidify, allow them to sit undisturbed and untouched for around twenty-four hours.
How do you make Sculpey soft?
Liquid clay softener: To soften the clay without compromising the color quality, use 2-4 drops of our clear Sculpey® Liquid Clay Thinner & Softener to per 2 ounces of clay. This will accomplish the desired result. Add the liquid very slowly, a drop at a time, kneading and mixing after each addition, until the clay reaches the required degree of flexibility.
How do you make Super Sculpey soft?
Repeat the process of passing the Super Sculpey through the pasta machine with it folded in half first. This will assist in distributing the diluent that has been added to the clay. After you have refolded the clay and ran it through the machine once again, you should continue to add the diluent as needed until the clay is smooth and malleable. It is possible that you may need to carry out this procedure many times.
What should polymer clay look like after baking?
If you bake polymer clay on a surface that is glossy, the baked clay could have patches that are shiny due to the surface. Put a sheet of parchment paper or some other non-stick material in between the clay and the polished baking surface to avoid this from happening. It is expected that the layer of paper would prevent shiny spots from forming on the bottom of the clay.
How long do you let polymer clay cool after baking?
In order for the clay to fully harden, at least 15 minutes are required. As the amount of time spent baking grows, so does the product’s strength. Always make it a point to begin by using an oven thermometer to double-check the correctness of the oven’s temperature setting.
Can you overcook Sculpey?
Re-bake for 15 minutes at 275 degrees F. After that, apply a third full coat, being sure to pay attention to the finer details, and rebake the creation for a final fifteen minutes at 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Clay will get darker if it is overbaked, and burning will induce bubbling as well as darkening of the material.
What happens if you bake polymer clay too long?
It is possible for polymer clay to catch fire if the baking instructions on the packaging are not followed. Clay will burn if it is baked at temperatures that are too high for too long, just like everything else that is baked in an oven.
Do you paint Sculpey before baking?
Before you bake, you should paint.
Due to the fact that polymer clay does not contract or enlarge as it dries, you are able to paint it before you bake it. Clay that has not been baked might potentially form a stronger connection with paint when it cures. To determine which brand and type of paint produces the greatest results, you need do some experiments.
How do you smooth polymer clay after baking?
If the polymer clay has already been baked, it will be simple for you to erase fingerprints and any other flaws that may have appeared. Cotton swabs are still required for this approach; however, acetone will now be working alongside them. Acetone will cause the clay to melt, which will make it easier for you to level the surface.
Why is my Sculpey clay cracking before baking?
When a sculpture is baked with unequal thicknesses throughout, it nearly invariably cracks because the curing process wasn’t long enough or there wasn’t enough of it. We advise “bulking out” your piece with foil or constructing an armature out of Super Sculpey UltraLightTM in order to get a uniform thickness across the entirety of your creation.
Why is my polymer clay soft?
As the temperature continues to rise, your polymer clay can start to get more pliable and even sticky. Clay that is too soft to deal with can also be caused by warm hands and heated work surfaces. You are a maker, therefore you are aware of the significance of working with polymer clay that is hard.
Why is my clay so soft?
If your polymer clay is excessively warm, either because you have overworked it or because the temperature of your working area is too high, this is frequently the source of very soft polymer clay. Your clay is relatively new, which is why it contains an excessive amount of plasticizer in it.
Does oven bake clay harden?
Oven-bake clay, also known as polymer clay, is a modeling clay that may be hardened by the baking process, as its name indicates. Polymer clay is another term for oven-bake clay. Clay that is meant to be baked in an oven will have a pliable consistency while it is at room temperature but will become more rigid after being baked.
Can you harden polymer clay with a hair dryer?
Polymer Clays That Have Been Fire-Fired
If you do not want to use the oven to cure clays that become hard at a certain temperature, you may use a heat gun, a hair dryer, or a heat-embossing instrument that can be set to the correct temperature instead. Put the object you made out of polymer clay on a surface that will not attach to it, such as a piece of ceramic tile or a block of wood.
How long does Sculpey need to cool?
Instructions for the Baking of Additional Sculpey
In order for the clay to fully harden, at least 15 minutes are required.
How long should you bake Sculpey clay?
When baking with Sculpey Bake Shop® Eraser Clay, bake the pieces for 20 minutes at 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) for every half an inch (12 millimeters) of thickness. When curing the clays, it is strongly recommended that an oven thermometer be utilized so that you can confirm that your oven has reached and will continue to maintain the correct baking temperature.
How do you make Sculpey shiny?
Liquid Sculpey Clear is yet another excellent choice that may be utilized as a coat or finish. After ensuring that the liquid clay in the container has been well mixed, I use a paintbrush to apply a thin coat of the material all over the artwork. It happens sometimes that I put it into the oven with the rest of my clay, and as soon as it comes out, I hit it with a heat gun.
Can you drink out of polymer clay cups?
Even if the glazes completely seal the plates and utensils, we do not advise using them for food preparation or consumption in any way, shape, or form, not even for serving food. Our clays and glazes do not include any harmful chemicals; but, because they have not been evaluated for use with food, we are unable to recommend them for this purpose.
Can you air dry Sculpey clay?
Original Sculpey is exactly what it sounds like: the clay that was first produced by Polyform Products. Sculpey is workable and has the same texture and feel as ceramic clay, but it will dry out if it is allowed to come into contact with air. A bisque finish will be applied to it, and it will be offered in both white and the new Terra Cotta color. It is the most cost-effective option, and it is utilized in educational settings.
Can you microwave Sculpey?
The guidelines on Sculpey® packaging state not to put the clay in the microwave, but may you use it for baking polymer clay? The short answer is no. Polymer clay’s chemical makeup doesn’t respond well to the radiation that the microwave utilizes.
Can I air dry polymer clay?
While air dry clay sets with air, polymer clay sets by heat. In fact, you can leave polymer clay out in the air for days and it won’t set. Polymer clay also won’t shrink as it is setting, unlike air dry clay.
Why is my polymer clay crumbling after baking?
Polymer clay splits after baking because it has not dried correctly. This is due to either the temperature being too low or it wasn’t cooked for long enough. It does also depend on the brand of clay you are using, since some are more fragile, some are firmer.

By Brittani Howell Herald-Times, Bloomington, Ind.
WWR Article Summary (tl;dr) The Girl Scouts national organization says the annual cookie sale is "a powerful entrepreneurship incubator" for girls and young women to develop business skills.
Herald-Times, Bloomington, Ind.
Courtlyn Bales-Hall has a plan when Girl Scout cookie time rolls around.
She consults a spreadsheet of last year's customers. Then, with her parents' help, the 13-year-old visits as many as she can.
She stops by their houses three times before she switches tactics and gives them a phone call. Courtlyn prefers visiting them in person; she knows a more personal touch sells cookies.
"If you sell someone something, you have to make a connection with them," she said Tuesday. "I really feel that is the basis of selling anything. You should talk to them and really get to know them, because if you get to know them, they're going to enjoy their product more."
She enjoys catching up with her customers, remembering where they live, what kind of cookies they like and even the names of their pets.
Her strategy works. When it comes to the Girl Scout cookie, Courtlyn is a top marketer; one year, she sold 3,000 boxes.
The Girl Scouts of America started in 1912, and now has 2.6 million members. Every year, they sell cookies to raise money for their activities and projects, from community service to camping trips to travel abroad.
Girl Scouts will be taking cookie orders starting Saturday, with sales ending in March. You'll start seeing them for sale in entryways at grocery stores and other places around town starting next month.
Cookies are $5 per box, and this year's selection includes Do-si-dos, S'mores, Samoas, Savannah Smiles, Tagalongs, Thin Mints, Toffee-tastic and Trefoils.
More than a fundraiser, the Girl Scouts national organization says the cookie sale is "a powerful entrepreneurship incubator" for girls and young women to develop business skills.
"Given that over half (53 percent) of female entrepreneurs and business owners are Girl Scout alums, supporting Girl Scouts as they make sales and learn essential business skills is imperative to ensuring our country has a strong workforce and economy," said a press release from Penni Sims at Girl Scouts of Central Indiana.
The central Indiana organization has 29,000 members and more than 11,000 adult volunteers. Last year, the scouts in the region sold more than 3 million boxes of cookies. More than 125,000 of them were sold by Girl Scouts from Monroe County. When the cookie-selling profits come in, troop members decide what they want to do with the money and create a budget to allocate the funds.
Courtlyn has been selling cookies since she was in kindergarten, and the annual endeavor has taught her a lot. She used to be shy around people she didn't know, but not anymore. She cares about serving her community and donating to worthy causes, which the cookie fundraiser has allowed her troop to do. And enjoys the entrepreneurial side, and can boast that she has sold more than 10,000 boxes of the special cookies.
"I work very hard for it," she said. "One of the biggest achievements, I think, is turning someone's 'no' into a 'yes.'"
If a potential customer declines because they're on a diet or staying away from sugar, Courtlyn suggests other options: buy a box to donate to Operation Cookie Drop, which sends them to soldiers, law enforcement officials and local food banks. The cookies become donations, and the troop gets to keep part of the proceeds. Courtlyn has closed many sales that way.

Such a weapon, once placed, leaps up into the air after several seconds and shoots out several wires which, when tripped, cause the grenade and all its tethers to detonate.
It was to be used by the Alien Assassin. It is likely but unsure if the player was to acquire their first Hopwire Grenades after killing an Alien Assassin.
As seen in the Half-Life 2 leak source code, the Hopwire Grenade was originally to be the weapon of choice against Striders, replaced in Episode Two by the Magnusson Device. This is confirmed in the Episode Two commentary, in which Valve's Joshua Weier states that the Magnusson Device "started life as a Half-Life 2 weapon called the Hopwire".
In the playable leak, the Hopwire is extremely unstable and does not work properly. If one of the wires touches a surface in the wrong way, the game will crash.
When held by the player, it uses the regular Grenade model. The proper model will only appear when it is thrown and can be separately viewed in the game files.


There have been several moments in the past year that have made me think about the future of terror attacks in Europe (and elsewhere), and the agency of women. In early February, a video was released showing women fighting for Islamic State. The accompanying narrations says “The chaste mujahid woman journeying to her lord with garments of purity and faith, seeking revenge for her religion and for the honor of her sisters imprisoned by the apostate Kurds.” This “Inside the Caliphate” video caused some commotion, as it showed for the first time women in combat for Islamic State.
Around the same time, SITE Intel Group released a letter written by two French women to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, asking his permission to be able to fight and “die in the cause of Allah.” If they get their way, they would join women like those already active in France. Last September, a group of women were arrested following a failed attempt to set off a car bomb near Notre Dame Cathederal in Paris. The three women, said to have been guided by Islamic State, were planning another attack on Gare de Lyon.
And in January, a French woman from Brittany was arrested by the Kurds in Syria. Emilie König was living with Islamic State for five years before her arrest, and is said to be a propagandist and recruiter for the terror group. After her capture, she expressed a desire to return to France. Despite her mother insisting König has shown remorse for her actions, others, including the French state, aren’t so sure.
None of these moments seem to be related, but taken together, are they telling us something?
Previously, Islamic State had forbid women from participating in combat, instead assigning them to roles as propagandists, recruiters, enforcers, and of course, homemakers. As the caliphate shrinks, and members are leaving, there is the concern that attacks will be carried out at home. So far, there hasn’t been much evidence that that is the case, with most attacks in Europe coming from homegrown terrorists. Could it be we see an increase in women as homegrown terrorists in France, and elsewhere in Europe?
Islamic State has long encouraged its supporters to attack at home if they were unable to make it to the caliphate. There have been several who have heeded that call, both inspired by the Islamic State, and attacking in the name of the terror group. The 2015 attacks in Paris seem to have been directed by the group.
The video, the women in Paris, and the letter to al Baghdadi might mean some future attacks might not come from who we think.
Admittedly, it may be a bit of a stretch to say that French or other European women are going to ramp up attacks in Paris or Berlin or London. At the same time, there was a cell of Islamic State-inspired women who attempting one attack in Paris, and were planning another. In her book, ‘I Was Told to Come Alone,’ Souad Mekhennet meets with disillusioned Muslim girls in Germany who had hoped to get away from what they perceived as anti-Muslim attitudes. Emilie König, a recruiter, is hoping to make it back to France. Islamic State seemed to have given permission for women to fight “in every way possible.” Along with the French women who wrote the letter of permission, these are just a sample of the women who believe in the cause. There are, presumably, countless others willing to join the fight. Despite examples to the contrary, women are still thought of as victims of terror groups, lured in by false promises, sexually exploited, or brainwashed. They are still overlooked as active participants in extremist organizations. This is something that could be used to their advantage. We just don’t think a woman could willingly die for a cause such as that of Islamic State.
Women have fought for terrorist groups for ages; Islamic State had forbid it except in very specific circumstances. Now the Islamic State caliphate is collapsing, and there appears to be a change of heart with regards to women in combat. And there are women who are willing to fight and die for the cause. France, with a long history of perceived hostility, is a major target for jihadists. While terror attacks are fairly rare, and an nearly all-boys club, they still do occur, and we must not dismiss that some of the future attacks may just be carried out by women.

Joan Collins and Kelley Ray on Starship Troopers
These are my friends Joan Collins and Kelley Ray who were at the time representing SONY Imageworks on Starship Troopers at MASS.ILLUSION in Lenox, MA.
Not only had MASS.ILLUSION collected a fabulous crew doing great work, it was in a drop dead gorgeous part of the world.
I was only on one small part of the project, but it was one of the most enjoyable projects I have ever had. For another post on this complicated production, see here. This production was a classic of the situation where a production can be rocky but individuals, in this case me, can have a wonderful time.
Kelley is now efx supervisor on an episodic show called Vampire Diaries, and I don't know what Joan is doing, but last I heard she had several films that were about to start.
Before Joan left Lenox the last time, I bought her dinner and tried to talk her into doing some project with me, I think. I still remember the restaurant in Lenox, MA.
This must have been about 1997.

A binding protein for corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) was identified in the early 1990s and exploited as a potential drug discovery target (92). This protein, which acted as a reservoir for CRF, seemed to be unique to the CRF neurotransmitter system. However, a soluble acetylcholine-binding protein (AChBP) has recently been described that modulates synaptic transmission in the mollusk, L. stag-suggesting that neurotransmitter binding proteins may play a more general role in buffering synaptic message transfer. Equally importantly, the structure of this soluble AChBP has also provided important information about the ligand-binding domain of nicotinic receptors (94) and is being used to model the receptor itself (75).

Politicians have met with a health advisory body over the ongoing situation regarding the reduction of services at St John’s children’s ward in Livingston.
Councillors and MSPs met with officials from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) who last year conducted a review with NHS Lothian which found that St John’s should have full-time paediatric services.
On Monday , NHS Lothian invited RCPCH to conduct a follow-up report due to the reduction of paediatric services at the hospital for over two months.
The politicians used the meeting to stress the importance of full time paediatric services at St John’s, stating that there should be no change to last year’s findings.
Angela Constance, SNP MSP for Almond Valley, said: “I took the opportunity to inform the RCPCH that local views and local need for a 24/7 children’s ward remain the same. West Lothian is the same size as the city of Dundee, with a growing young population and the children’s ward, amongst other things, enables acutely ill children, who have required specialist care at Yorkhill or the Sick Kids, to continue their rehabilitation locally.
“My colleagues and I will continue to press for the reinstatement of a sustainable 24/7 children’s service as soon as possible.”
Neil Findlay, Labour MSP for Lothian, said: “This meeting was called at very short notice but all the representatives from across the political parties were singing with one voice making it crystal clear we would accept no downgrade of the service at St John’s and the option decided on last year must be implemented by NHS Lothian. Nothing else will do.”
Lawrence Fitzpatrick, leader of West Lothian Council, welcomed the ‘frank and open’ talks with RCPCH cosultants who are conducting “a hard review of NHS Lothian’s approach to paediatric staffing.”
Councillor Fitzpatrick said: “It is imperative for West Lothian families a full service is restored as soon as possible.
“There are 184 paediatric units in Scotland, and St John’s is the only one which has been subject to repeated closures, three times in the last five years.
“Given West Lothian’s young and growing population, this is clearly not acceptable.”
Damian Timson, leader of the Conservatives in West Lothian said: “It is both right and reassuring that RCPCH are conducting this review, I trust they will find areas NHS Lothian can improve on to get the Paediatric Ward back to being fully operational.”
An RCPCH spokesperson said: “The report, which will cover progress made against the commitment to implement ‘option one’ from the RCPCH’s 2016 review, will be completed and issued to NHS Lothian in due course.”
Jacquie Campbell, NHS Lothian’s Chief Officer, said: “We can confirm we invited the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health to review our progress in implementing a workforce model to deliver a sustainable full in-patient paediatric services at St John’s Hospital.
"We remain fully committed to resuming services as soon as we have a safe and sustainable service model.”

Is it okay for me to take turns with my 2 sisters keeping my mom with Alzheimer's or should she stay one place? We cannot stay at her home.
My mother is 94, has memory problems, sundowners, and auditory hallucinations. I need help.
Has anyone experienced a rapid progression of dementia with their loved one?
Who can help determine if a housing situation is unsafe?


Help! Just replaced a 4.0L engine in my 2005 Ranger with one out of a 2011 with only 7000 miles. The truck runs great except when you are cruising down the highway down a hill. It throws random multiple misfire codes - po300 and sometimes different cylinder misfire codes. I used all the peripheral parts off my old engine except the intake and EGR valve. Spark plugs are new, Fuel and air filter are new. I ran K44 through the injectors to clean them out. Anyone have a clue what would cause it to throw these codes and causing it to misfire when cruising down a hill at highway speeds?
Some history on the vehicle. The old engine blew and put a lot of oil in the exhaust. It took a while to burn it all out - tons of smoke. It did pass emissions so the cats should be OK. Would a O2 sensor cause this without throwing an engine code?
