The area in the instructable where the video should be is blank, whether I am logged in or not. Is there a link for the video that I can click on to watch? Thanks.
Do you really want to take the chance that a child removes the unlocked cap and inadvertently or not, reinstalls it so it's locked, they then tries to, and possibly succeeds in figuring out how to remove it? Safety first!
Glenn, when you turn the safety feature off to cut something that would trip the blade brake, when you turn it off and back on, it will have reset to the default "on" position. That's a simple and effective sled for small parts, I just may have to build another project based on your design.
In step 4 of "removing leaking batteries" the batteries should be placed in a bag with baking soda to neutralize tha acid, but they should not be thrown away in the garbage. When you ay "dispose of the batteries" , many people will think to throw them in the trash. Even though most alkaline batteries no longer contain murcury, they should be recycled, especially when they are leaking. In my area they have houshold hazardous waste and electronics recycling collections every three months, so that's where all my used batteries go.
The gloves in a lot of commercial sandblast cabinets are held on with large worm clamps, (hose clamps). The gloves however are made with rubber or some other impermeable material so taping them would be unnecessary.
That's a great instructable, but drill bits should always be held by the shank, (the part that doesn't have the cutting flutes), since the flutes are the weakest part of the drill bit. I've seen it happen many times, the drill bit is inserted too far in because the thought is that less of the drill bit protruding is stronger and more stable, then it wanders slightly or the piece being drilled slips and the bit breaks. I stopped loaning out my drill bits for just that reason.
I learned this trick eons ago when I was in Jr. High, (now called Middle School), and I have never had to buy wood putty. If you store it in a sealed container, it will last for a few weeks before drying out completely. Before it dries out completely but it's too hard to use, you may be able to save it by adding either more glue or a little water to make it more pliable and useful again. I have used water and it has worked out well, just don't use too much.
Great job! Well worth the effort put into making them.
That's a nice project Linn, I just might build one since it would keep me busy for a little while.
My wife's Girl Scout troop used to make mini survival kits, but since they were being made for the masses, (children included), pill bottles were not an option because a child is not supposed to know how to open child resistant bottles. Even removing the lock wasn't an option because all any smart kid had to do was see how it was disabled and do the same thing to a bottle with pills in it. We got around that issue by using plastic bottles that weren't orange and had normal screw on tops.
Toilet bolts! I didn't think of that when I made the fence for my table saw. The people in the hardware department of the store I went to didn't know what I meant when I asked for T-track bolts, they just stood there gawking at me. When they do that, I feel stupid, like maybe I asked the wrong question. I ended up purchasing carriage bolts and filing, (yes filing, since I don't have access to a grinder), the heads flat enough to fit into the T-track. I now know better when I build my drill press table. Thanks for the instructable.
Since British English is far older than American English, I would argue that WE use the wrong words. Although I do prefer that way we Yanks spell words with a "z" instead of "s" as in realize, visualize, etc. However, I don't understand how they get leftenant from lieutenant, even after reading theories/explanations on the question.
I experimented with taking double and triple exposure pictures, (multiple exposures of the same image in one frame). My wife and I were camping and I took a picture with the self timer on the camera of me sitting at a picnic table. I then took two more pictures with me sitting in different places on the same side of the table and made it look like the three of me were having a conversation. When my wife's grandfather was looking at the vacation pictures and got to that one, he asked my wife who the other two people were in the picture. I guess it was that good, even though I thought it could have been better.
I've been showing people how to do this since I first learned how to do it over 40 years ago. It never ceases to amaze people what a simple piece of steel wool can do for "fireworks" on Independence Day or for their New Year celebration.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I built a set of stand alone shelves instead. They take up more room, and even though they're getting on in age, (like me), they still look really nice and don't encroach on the space that much that I would get rid of them just yet.
If I had made them, I would have used 1x8's for the shelves, which would have made them 7 1/4" deep, deep enough for our books. With 16" on-center studs, the thickness of the 1x's would have been sufficient for the weight of the books.
I hope this reply doesn't duplicate my first attempt.If I had built them, I would have used 1x8 wood, which would have made the 7 1/4" deep, plenty deep enough for our books. With 16" on-center studs, the strength of the 1x's would have been sufficient for the weight of the books.
I like how your shelves turned out, it's a great idea. I wanted to do that in our house in the office/den for all of our books, but we have metal studs that would need to be torn out and then install wood studs in their place. That wasn't something I was willing to do.
I know the main focus of the project is the top, but the legs came out really nice too. I've burned wood before, but not doing it as thoroughly as you did, mine still showed the grain of the wood in it. I think I prefer the way yours looks over the way mine turned out. Thanks for a great instructable.
I like your technique of sorting the wood from the widest to the narrowest with a mallet. I need to learn that as it will save me a lot of time in the future. I also like those bar clamps. Are they Bessey clamps? My set of Bessey clamps have to be loosened and put away by me, so you must have bought the extra special clamps that remove and hang themselves up automatically when you hit or jump on them. Maybe I'll be able to upgrade soon.Seriously though, those are some really nice coasters, well worth the time you put into making them. My wife likes them too, so I may have another project on my to do list. I can't seem to get caught up.
Having been in the auto repair business all my life I kept some things over the years that were replaced on cars that I thought I might be able to repurpose. I always wanted to keep a pair of coil over shock absorbers, but they would just take up space needlessly until I found something I wanted to make with them. This is a great instructable, but I want to make sure everyone realizes that these are coil over shocks, NOT struts. You would not be able to take apart a strut like these shocks were because the spring on a strut is compressed before the strut is assembles and would come apart with such velocity that someone is more than likely going to get seriously hurt, possibly fatally. I want to mention that some coil over shock are also assembled with the spring compressed, but not nearly as much as a strut is, so be cautious when disassembling any suspension coil over shock. Lastly, a lot of shock absorbers, if not all, are gas pressurized, so welding on them will heat up the gas inside and create an unsafe condition that could possibly result in serious injury like the author mentions. If they are gas pressurized, it will always give a warning, usually on the bottom stating: something like caution, contents under pressure.

Correction: it's actually the 36 second mark. I looked at the total time instead of the elapsed time.
I have seen a lot of sled designs that I like, but yours is the best of the best. I also like how you thoroughly explain how to measure the 5th cut to determine whether the fence needs to be adjusted and how much. Thank you for a great Instructable.

Great tips! My wife and I make dolls beds; i do all of the woodwork and she does all of the sewing. I use 1/2" dowels for the feet and need to drill a hole in the center to attach them to the bed. I didn't have a drill press when we were making the first batch of beds, but I did drill a hole in a scrap piece of wood to hold the dowel for drilling the hole. None of my holes were centered in the dowel, but then again it didn't really matter because they aren't normally seen.BTW, you mixed up former and latter in the beginning of the article. It should be "This instructable is here to help you with the latter...". Former being first, in this case the hard work.

I didn't have a drill press when we first started making them, but I did drill a 1/2" diameter,1/4" deep hole in a scrap piece of wood to hold the dowel. None of the holes were centered, nor did they go through straight in the dowel, but then again the bottom of the feet aren't normally seen so it really didn't matter. I have a drill press now so my holes will be centered and straight through the dowels now. BTW, you mixed up former and latter in the beginning of the article.

I recently purchased a used drill press and upon using it the first time, I also found the table to be woefully inadequate. I want to build a new table for it, so I'm glad that you show how yours was made and I will be using it as a guide for when I build mine. I will also probably use your fence as a guide for the fence I build because your design is the best I've seen so far. I have a question; why did you stack six pieces of plywood between the table base and the table top? I was just wondering. Thanks for the instructable.
Thanks, that answers my question. My drill is an 8" model so I'm sure I will have to make mine shorter. Again, nice job.
The lens he used was a lens for an SLR or DSLR camera, he mounted it in reverse of how it would normally be mounted on the camera. When you look at the lens you can see the threads that engage in the camera body, and if you look at the second picture in the article, you will see a view of the lens that you would see when it's on the camera. The specs for the lens is printed on the outward facing side of the lens.
The lens he used is from an SLR or DSLR camera. You can tell that it's reversed because you can see the threads that would engage in the camera body as they now face outwards. If you look at the second picture in the article you will see a view of the lens that you would see if it was mounted on the camera, it has the specs of the lens printed on it.

I hate it when I see animals that have been injured. Fortunately they are more resilient that humans in some ways because they don't see other animals doing things in a "normal" way and think "Why can't I do that?" and they adapt to their handicap. But for those that are too young that the time it takes to adapt could place them in further danger, I am glad that there are people like you that can and do help. I have helped in the past by taking in two rabbits, (at separate times), one of which was abandoned; the other, the owner feared she would come home to a missing or dead pet because her parents hated animals. Kudos to you!
I am so glad that you put the warning about ozone being dangerous. As a retired automotive technician we used ozone generators in vehicles that had water intrusion into the vehicle interior and that wasn't repaired quickly enough to prevent the odors occurring. We ran the ozone generators for the recommended length of time, sometimes longer if the odor was especially bad, and when it was finished we opened all of the doors for a while to let it air out before we could start reinstalling the new jute, carpet, (new if needed), seats, etc back into the vehicle.
We also don't use dryer sheets, If you have an automatic dryer like we do, one that runs according to how wet the items are, dryer sheets can coat the sensor causing it so that it cannot detect the true level of dryness of the items in the dryer. Sometimes the sensor can be cleaned, other times it needs to be replaced. If your automatic dryer seems to be running longer than it should be, you may have an issue with the sensor. They will also leave a film on the filter screen that as it builds up will block air from flowing through it properly also causing long drying times. That's an easier fix though, just routinely wash the filter screen.
There's a reason why Harbor Freight tools are so inexpensive. You get what you pay for. As a professional automotive technician I was hesitant to buy any tools from them, but I gave it a shot with some ratchets. Sure they have a lifetime warranty on a lot of their hand tools. But when you're constantly having to fulfill that warranty it's not worth it. I was considering buying their bench sander, but a friend said not to because he is on his fourth one because the motor keeps burning out.
For a first time attempt at building a tool, especially a power tool, you did a great job. If I can procure a 120 volt motor I will seriously consider building one for myself.
You're welcome. I'm sure either method works fine so I'm going to make a selection of them in different grits because my usual method leaves a lot to be desired. I usually wrap sandpaper around the inside of what I'm sanding and the put a wheel cylinder hone in it and spin it with my drill. https://www.amazon.com/T71791-4-Inch-2-Inch-Adjus...The problem with this method is the stones are so fine that they don't always grip the back of the sandpaper, but when they do the bore can't have any obstructions otherwise the wheel cylinder hone can come flying out.
They folded the sandpaper in half lengthwise so it has the business side of the sandpaper making contact all of the time. You can see it clearly at the 1:10 mark.
You did a really nice job with that! I hope he liked it.
When cars had individual ignition cables, (aka spark plug wires), the heat from the engine bay over time would make the factory ignition cable guides/separators brittle. They would break sometimes when opening them to replace the ignition cables or if you had to move them from their mounts to gain access to whatever repair was being made Since I didn't have immediate access to the OEM parts, I would take cable ties, loosely wrap one of them around each group of ignition cables where it was needed, then I would take one less cable tie than there were ignition cables at that location, wrap them perpendicular around the first cable tie between each ignition cable, and then cinch them all up and cut off the excess. It made for a clean and more professional appearance as opposed to having the ignition cables loosely laying all over the place. I just wish they had had more colors than black or white, I could have made it quite colorful.
I made the rip fence for my home made table saw based on your design because it was the best option for my needs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0R5rO1jJqM&t=10sWhen I build a crosscut sled I'll probably base it on your design too because it's designed to get the job done efficiently while taking up minimal space. I'll need to figure out a way to attach it to my miter gauge because mine doesn't have any holes to mount the sled and I don't necessarily want to drill into it either. I might just buy another miter gauge to use primarily with the crosscut sled. That depends on the cost of the miter gauge though.
When I was growing up my mom would have us use it to brush our teeth if we had run out of toothpaste. It didn't have a pleasant taste or feeling, but it did clean our teeth. I don't know if it was actually safe for our them using it full strength, but I now use Arm & Hammer® toothpaste exclusively when I brush my teeth.
Taz-Hood, for the grease ants you could try mixing a little cooking oil, used or fresh, or grease from something you cooked with the baking soda and then put that out. If that doesn't work I have used Terro® liquid ant killer with great success when we have had the tiny ants in the house. Since they tend to congregate in walls and don't mind making an electrical outlet their home, (I had a GFCI outlet that kept tripping in hard rain and I eventually that ants were in an outside outlet box and they had built their nest around the outlet. The box was completely packed with them and their nest), they can be a huge inconvenience.

I've poured rubbing alcohol in headlights, swished it around and then poured it out and had decent results. Unless you have the time to let them air dry or have access to compressed air to lightly blow into the housing, this is more time consuming and won't actually get them as clean as doing it your way. Rubbing alcohol shouldn't harm the plastic, but like you said, test it on an inconspicuous place before possibly damaging the headlamp. For those that have never changed a light bulb, handle halogen and HID bulbs from the base, not the glass, but if you do touch the glass, clean it with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol to remove any oils from contact with your skin. The oils from your skin can shorten the life of the bulb and I've seen some that shattered, (inside the housing), when the lights were turned back on and they started heating up.
I kept the power supply from each of the computers too.
I spent hours removing hard drives from computers that my wife's ex employer wanted the discs destroyed for security purposes, taking them apart and salvaging what I wanted. As I disassembled them I tried to figure out how to get the motors to turn but I had no luck. I couldn't find anything on YouTube to help either. I wish that I had had this instructable then, because I ended up recycling all of the cases after I removed the spindles and magnets from them.
Since my comment I took apart my Li Ion battery and found out that it's much harder to repair than the Ni-Cad batteries I've done in the past. I never had a problem with Ni-Cad batteries, but the batteries were soldered to the connectors whether it was wires or flat metal bands, but these Li Ion batteries seem to be laser soldered so considering that I don't have access to laser soldering equipment, I'm not going to repair it.
I'm not sure where you are located, but in the U.S. 3.6 volt lithium ion batteries are readily available and inexpensive so you could rebuild a battery pack inexpensively as I plan to do with one of my batteries. Just a thought.

The lead sinker inside the ball puts 8 oz of weight, (.5 lb or 226.7 g), below the camera. When you hold the camera, the extra weight lowers the center of gravity of just the camera and considerably reduces camera shake. I hope this helps.
I really like your lathe and you made it without using a single power tool. I don't know if I would have the patience to do that so I applaud you for it. You are a real life Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the main character on NCIS, an American TV show. Along with some smaller projects he has built many sailboats in his basement.Maybe I will try this as I do want a lathe and they can be really expensive for a good one.
Or better yet judicious use of JB Weld.
I like this instructable and already looked up the parts for availability and costs. Living in the US I had to copy and paste the description of the items once I opened your links to get the correct prices. Two of the links, the bulb and the lens and reflector returned a page stating "sorry we couldn't find that page", but I think it won't be a difficult workaround to get those parts.Poor nocturnal animals though, they probably went to bed hungry when you were testing your light!
Thanks for both suggestions. I neglected to thank you for the first one, sorry. I have yet to talk my wife into getting the mixer, even when a plain white one was on sale for a bit under $200.
My wife can't eat pork and after reading this I now have a hunger for sausage, (thanks BTW), so I want to try making sausage using beef or chicken. All I have to do is talk her into getting a KitchenAid® mixer and the attachments. She's been saying no for the longest time so wish me luck! Thanks for the article.
Some of these instructables should be scrutinized very carefully before posting them for safety reasons. As posted above, steering wheel with air bags should not be removed before disabling the air bag system and allowing enough time for the system to power down from its reserve power. You did know that supplemental inflatable restraint systems have a reserve capacity built into the DERM, (diagnostic energy reserve module), didn't you? How else could an air bag be deployed in the event of power loss to the DERM? It amazes me that some of these instructables that should contain safety warnings don't.

In my book, dulce de leche is one of life's most fabulous treats, especially if it has a little flavoring added (that's because I simply cannot leave things alone!). I have been making dulce de leche for years in the oven, but today I wanted to see if I could speed up the process by making it in the pressure cooker. So, I did a bit of internet research, then combined a few methods, and VOILA! Next it was time to give my new technique a try. Let's see how it turned out….
Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a 3 to 4 cup ovenproof dish with a lid. Cover tightly. Bake at 300°F for one hour. Remove from oven, allow to stand until cool enough to handle.
Scrape mixture into blender. Add about 3 tablespoons of the cream and the teaspoon of vanilla extract or liiquer; process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender jar. Season with salt, combine well.
our the sweetened condensed milk into a 16-ounce canning jar with a lid and ring. Cover tightly. Place on rack in pressure cooker — however, I don't have a rack that will fir into the bottom of my cooker, so I created one with three canning jar rings. Add enough cold water to come half-way up the jar. Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes. Allow the pressure cooker to slowly depressurize, about 15 minutes more. Carefully remove the jar form the cooker, and let stand until cool enough to handle.
My pressure cooked dulce de leche was thinner than the typical oven version, sue to evaporation, so I was able to mix in the flavor additions in the canning jar, and did not need any cream to thin the mixture. Add the teaspoon of vanilla extract or liiquer; process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender jar. Season with salt, combine well.

Hudson Yards tower sells more than 25% of its units as luxury condo market shows sparks
Courtesy of Related-Oxford
The tower is being developed by Related Cos. and Oxford Properties Group.
A condo tower rising in what's billed as Manhattan's newest neighborhood reported that more than a quarter of its 285 units have sold since marketing began in September, a sign that local buyers are willing to commit to the borough's far west side.
Signed contracts at 15 Hudson Yards range from about $2 million for a one-bedroom apartment to about $10 million for a three-bedroom unit, said Sherry Tobak, senior vice president of sales at Related Cos., which is developing the $25 billion Hudson Yards commercial and residential project with Oxford Properties Group. One buyer acquired two individual three-bedroom units for a combined $16 million, she said.
"Seventy percent of the buyers are New Yorkers, coming from downtown or the Upper West Side," Tobak said. "We are definitely getting those primary buyers who are coming here."
With 75 signed deals, reached between September and Dec. 31, the building recorded the largest number of sales at an under-construction development in 2016, said Ryan Schleis, vice president of research and analytics for Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group, the brokerage working with Related to handle sales at the property. Deals have totaled more than $300 million, Tobak said.
Manhattan's luxury apartment market is seeing sparks of life after sputtering for much of last year as a construction surge created an abundance of choices for the well-heeled. The first two weeks of January marked the strongest start to a year since 2014 for sales at $4 million or higher, with 50 contracts in that range signed, according to a report from Olshan Realty Inc. The increase in deals, coinciding with a stock-market euphoria and developers' greater price flexibility, follows a year in which luxury contracts fell by 18% from 2015, said Donna Olshan, president of the brokerage.
Offers accepted
"Developers are coming around to the notion that they absolutely have to negotiate or they're not going to get a deal done," said Olshan, who isn't involved with sales at the Hudson Yards tower. "Many developers are taking offers 10% or 15% below asking, but they don't want to cut the price. They're whispering in brokers' ears, 'Make me an offer.'"
The volume of sales at 15 Hudson Yards is "a very good return," Olshan said. "The sheer number of sales since basically the summer is a really good, strong performance."
The 900-foot 15 Hudson Yards, scheduled for completion in October 2018, is one of two residential towers under construction at the 28-acre mega-project, between 30th and 34th Streets and abutting the Hudson River, which Related says is the largest private development in U.S. history.
Apartments at 15 Hudson Yards range from an 851-square-foot one-bedroom for $2.1 million to a 5,161-square-foot penthouse on the top floor for $32 million, according to plans filed with the state attorney general's office. Building has reached the 12th floor of the 88-story tower, which has amenities including a 75-foot swimming pool, billiard room and golf simulator.
Another tower, rising at 35 Hudson Yards, will include condos and a fitness-centric hotel branded by Equinox. Sales are expected to start there later this year, Tobak said.
BlackRock Inc., the world's largest asset manager, said last month it will move its headquarters to a new skyscraper to be built at 50 Hudson Yards, which will be complete in 2022.
Coach, L'Oreal
An office building at 10 Hudson Yards is the first tower to be completed at the project, and counts Coach Inc. and L'Oreal USA as tenants. The 18,000-square-foot sales office for 15 Hudson Yards—known as the Experience Center—is on the 24th floor and allows would-be buyers a wide-angle view of the new neighborhood emerging below. The Hudson Yards project will also include a retail complex that will house New York City's first Neiman Marcus luxury department store.
"Our buyers are able to see that all of the buildings are going to be ready at the same time," Tobak said. "You really get a feel for how everything is going to look."

No Improvement in Death Rate for COVID-19 Patients who Received Hydroxychloroquine
Official Statement - 6/4
My research intentions have always been to contribute to scientific discussion and to ensure that the practice of medicine is based on the best evidence available. During this pandemic, I have felt this even more keenly, and believe that it is imperative to provide timely data that informs both the scientific field and the care of our patients.
In that pursuit, through an association with one of my co-authors, I was introduced to and partnered with Dr. Sapan Desai and his company Surgisphere, a privately held company that purported to have data from hospitals around the world that could be leveraged to answer important public health questions I posed in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. To answer these questions, Dr. Desai, who served as a co-author and whose team maintained this observational database, conducted various analyses. As first author, these were provided to me, and on the basis of these analyses, we published two peer-reviewed papers, one in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and the other in The Lancet.
When discrepancies in the data started to arise, I and the remaining co-authors immediately asked for a re-analysis from Surgisphere and then proactively contracted Medical Technology & Practice Patterns Institute (MTPPI) to conduct an independent peer review. On June 3, MTPPI informed us that Surgisphere would not be able to transfer the data required to conduct this audit "because of agreements with its clients and the fact that the documents contain confidential information." Since we do not have the ability to verify the primary data or primary data source, I no longer have confidence in the origination and veracity of the data, nor the findings they have led to. I have notified the editors at NEJM and The Lancet of our intention to retract these papers.
I have always performed my research in accordance with the highest ethical and professional guidelines. However, we can never forget the responsibility we have as researchers to scrupulously ensure that we rely on data sources that adhere to our high standards. It is now clear to me that in my hope to contribute this research during a time of great need, I did not do enough to ensure that the data source was appropriate for this use. For that, and for all the disruptions – both directly and indirectly – I am truly sorry.

Press Release 5/22
A research team led by investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital has evaluated real-world evidence related to outcomes for COVID-19 patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine analogues (with or without a macrolide). Investigators found no evidence that either drug regimen reduced the death rate among patients. Patients treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine regimens were far more likely to experience abnormal, rapid heart rhythms (known as ventricular arrhythmias) than their counterparts who had not received the drugs. The team's findings are published in The Lancet.
"No matter which way you examine the data, use of these drug regimens did not help," said corresponding author Mandeep R. Mehra, MD, executive director of the Brigham's Center for Advanced Heart Disease. "If anything, patients had a higher likelihood of death. We also saw a quadrupling in the rate of significant ventricular arrhythmias in patients with COVID-19 who had been treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine regimens."
Mehra and colleagues conducted their study using the Surgical Outcomes Collaborative database, an international registry comprised of de-identified data from 671 hospitals across six continents. The analysis included data on more than 96,000 patients hospitalized with COVID-19. This included almost 15,000 patients who had received the anti-malarial drug chloroquine or its analog hydroxyquinone with or without an antibiotic (macrolides such as azithromycin and clarithromycin) early after COVID-19 diagnosis. The study's primary endpoint was death or discharge from the hospital.
Mehra and colleagues found that 10,698 patients died in the hospital (11.1 percent) and 85,334 survived to discharge. The team compared death rates for those taking one of the drug regimens to that of a control group, after accounting for confounding variables, such as age, sex and underlying risk factors. The death rate among the control group was 9.3 percent. Each of the drug regimens of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine alone, or in combination with a macrolide, was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital death with COVID-19.
In addition, each of the drug regimens was associated with an increase in the risk of ventricular arrhythmia. Among the treatment groups, between 4 and 8 percent of patients experienced a new ventricular arrhythmia, compared to 0.3 percent of patients in the control group.
Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have been known to cause cardiovascular toxicity and previous studies have shown that macrolides can increase the risk of sudden cardiac death. A preliminary analysis of patients in Brazil treated with chloroquine and an antibiotic has suggested a high dose of chloroquine may be a safety hazard. Results from randomized, controlled clinical trials are not expected until the summer.
The authors caution that the current study is observational in nature — this means that it cannot absolutely answer the question of whether the drug regimens were solely responsible for the changes in survival. Randomized clinical trials will be required before any conclusion can be reached regarding harm.
"These findings suggest that these drug regimens should not be used outside of the realm of clinical trials and urgent confirmation from randomized clinical trials is needed," the authors conclude.
The development and maintenance of the Surgical Outcomes Collaborative database was funded by the Surgisphere Corporation. The present analysis was supported by the William Harvey Distinguished Chair in Advanced Cardiovascular Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston. Mehra reports no direct conflicts pertinent to the development of this paper. Other general conflicts include consulting relationships with Abbott, Medtronic, Janssen, Mesoblast, Portola, Bayer, NupulseCV, FineHeart, Leviticus, Roivant and Triple Gene. Dr. Desai is the founder of Surgisphere Corporation, Chicago. The other authors have no pertinent conflicts to report.

Q: .NET/WCF: Are WCF services on a different "tier" than ASP.NET? At work, we have the UI layer (CSS, HTML, JavaScript—all executes in the browser), middle-tier (ASP.NET MVC and our C# library—all executes server-side) layer, a service layer (WCF services that the middle-tier calls as-needed), and a DBO layer that WCF services use instances of.
When the middle-tier (e.g. a static .cs class) calls a WCF service, it uses an instance of that service.
My question is, when I use a class method in our middle-tier that uses a instance WCF service, does that method cause a cross-tiers connection?
Does a "connection" have to be established between the WCF service and the class? We're referencing all our services via Project references to the services' .DLL files.

A: You're always going to have "cross-tier" connections, or else you won't have very useful tiers. The goal is to keep the dependencies unidirectional. In the description provided, it sounds like your UI depends on the "middle tier", the "middle tier" depends on WCF services, and the WCF services depend on your DAL (Data Access Layer - I prefer that to DBO). While this sounds like a lot of logical layers, as long as there are no dependencies that go back "up" the tree, there doesn't seem to be a significant issue from what I can see.

A: I think there will be a boundary between your middle-tier and your service layer (WCF). Usually, service layer is kept separate from business-logic layer. A connection will be there between them and that connection should be the proxy class that sits in your middle-layer and represents the service layer.
When you instantiate this proxy class, you're "establishing" the connection.

A: You can expose WCF service or you can consume service class directly. If you expose WCF service you need to add service reference for consuming it. In this case you need to create connection and you have cross-boundary communication. If you want to consume just class (without any WCF hosting features) you need to add reference. There is no connection because in reality there is no WCF - it is just method call as any other.

Staffordshire spinner Callum Parkinson has signed a new contract with Leicestershire, which will keep him at Grace Road until the end of the 2020 season.
The 22-year-old slow left-armer made the move across the East Midlands from Derbyshire ahead of the 2017 campaign and has been rewarded for some impressive performances for the Foxes.
Parkinson was named as Leicestershire's Twenty20 player of the season this summer and has been a first-team regular across all three formats.
His efforts also helped the Foxes to put in a vastly-improved Championship performance, which saw them finish in sixth place in Division Two.
He told the county's website: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Foxes and have learned a great deal. It was an honour to win the T20 player of the year, a competition where I had the privilege of playing alongside Mohammad Nabi, who is world class.
Parkinson has made seven appearances for Staffordshire since making his debut in 2015, but his first-class progress has hampered his ability to perform more regularly.
He did show glimpses of his potential, though, including taking 5-69 in a Championship game at Northumberland in 2015.
Bolton-born Parkinson has displayed his batting capabilities at first-class level, making a career-best 75 against Kent last year.
Leicestershire head coach Paul Nixon says he expects Parkinson to continue to excel at Grace Road.
"Parky is a talented young spinner who works tirelessly on his game. He has experience of ECB programmes and working with former Fox (ECB Spin Bowling Lead) Peter Such as well as Matt Mason, Carl Crowe and Mohammad Nabi here.
"Callum is a versatile performer who will continue to mature. I played with a brilliant left-arm spinner in Claude Henderson, who got better and better as his career developed.
Callum's new contract is more good news for the Parkinson family after twin brother Matt recently signed a deal to play for Melbourne Stars in Australia's Big Bash.
Leg-spinner Matt enjoyed another successful season with Lancashire and has been tipped for England honours in the future.

Burrowing Owl Estate Winery Spring Dinners in Oliver.
Come and enjoy a five course tasting menu paired with Burrowing Owl wines. The winery will offer a tasting menu each evening during the spring festival in addition to their regular menu at The Sonora Room Restaurant. Reservations are required – click on the RSVP link below.
British Columbia's south Okanagan region has gained a well deserved reputation as a desirable destination for tourists seeking an agricultural and culinary experience. The Sonora Room at Burrowing Owl Estate Winery has featured prominently in this regard with its epicurean excellence, superb service, relaxed style and of course scenic splendour. The restaurant overlooks 140 acres of picturesque vineyard from both the patio or inside the warm and inviting dining room.
"The philosophy is to embrace the privilege and the opportunity to showcase many of the local producers with their array of local organic produce, fresh, seasonal fruits and artisan breads and cheeses," says the winery.
An exclusive wine list is changed regularly to include a selection of Burrowing Owl library wines that are no longer publicly available for sale. And, the wine selection is enhanced with alternate premium Okanagan wines chosen to complement the menu.


This award is intended to honor any person or unit possessing the qualifications of an active member of IAATI, although membership is not a perquisite, who has in some way distinguished themselves in vehicle theft investigations where VIN labels or micro-dot technology played a significant part of the success of the investigation.
This year's winner was United States Customs and Border Protection Sgt. Steve Warriner. Sgt. Warriner is assigned to the Port of Entry in Trout River New York bordering the Canadian Providence of Quebec.
In February 2014, Sgt. Warriner was investigating the contents of a shipping container being shipped by a Numbered Company in Quebec to the Middle East. The container contents which were labeled auto parts appeared to contain more than what was listed on the bill of lading.
A check of the container proved that he was correct. The contained did contain assorted auto parts, but also included a front clip from a BMW (VIN removed) and several "A" Pillars with the Federal Safety Certification Label scratched off. The "A" Pillars were cut and were out from the cars and were worthless (only for junk).
The investigation pointed to the numbered company in Canada and it appeared the owner of the shipping company was a known suspect of vehicle theft. A few weeks later, two more containers were sent out by this company (via rail) destined for the UAE. Sgt. Warriner immediately set up a VACIS (Vehicle And Cargo Inspection System) (X-Ray Imaging) exam of the containers, which revealed that there were at least 6 – 7 vehicles in the containers which were again labeled as auto parts with a combined listed value of $ 67,000.00. The containers were held, the "meat and potatoes" of the investigation. Sgt. Warriner, along with members from other various law enforcement agencies off-loaded all the contents of the containers: a multitude of; fenders, doors, hoods, quarter panels, glass, sunroofs, airbags, headlight assemblies, and other miscellaneous parts).
An examination of all the parts found that several anti-theft labels had been removed in an attempt to hide the identity of the parts. The parts were all photographed and categorized. 7 front clips in the containers all had the VINs removed, in an attempt to hide their identity. Anti-theft glass etching was found on several parts, which lead to the true identity of the vehicles. After all was said and done, and the parts were identified as stolen, 7 vehicles were recovered, along with several parts from 6 other stolen vehicles – all were stolen from the Greater Montreal, Quebec area. Total combined amount was over $ 300,000.00. But the case did not end there. 6months later, the bad guys were at it again, and attempted to ship (via rail) another container which was also found by Sgt. Warriner to contain another 4 stolen vehicles.
The same process was conducted, parts were off loaded, photographed and categorized. Vehicles again stolen from the Greater Montreal Quebec area, with a combined total of over $ 175,000.00 were recovered.
Congratulations to Sgt. Warriner on a job well done.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PeriwinklesPigPalace from Love the feel It really isn't that hard to dispense. Shake the bottle a couple of times into your palm, rub hands together and on face. viola. I love the way it feels and can tell a difference in my pores when I don't use it. One bottle lasted me 1 month shy of two years. Great product.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LittleBee from It's lovely I've tried other essences that cost 3 times as much as the Prevage Essence, and this is much better. It lightens dark spots, especially combined with the other Prevage products. My pores appear smaller and my skin brighter. The packaging is well designed, with the small opening making it easy to apply just a few drops to the palm of your hand. Other essences have resulted in too much product coming out. And you don't need much to see and feel a difference.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Beanatt from Ok essence I've been using the essence for about 2 weeks and I don't see a change on my skin but is not bad either. I really don't like the bottle, It's hard to get the product out. I tried the cotton but I feel the cotton absorbs a lot of the product and I don't feel it on my face, I end up putting more product that way then using my fingers. Tried the product on my hand then applied it with my fingers and felt the product on my face better than the cotton and I use less. I really don't like the bottle is heavy and difficult to get the product out. I will continue using the product until is finished, maybe I'll see a change in a month.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Stan963 from Hard to dispense Ever since I bought it, it has been hard to dispense onto a cotton swab. I had to remove the shaker part and use it that way.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Stan963 from Hard to dispense The product may work it's hard to tell, because it is VERY hard to dispense from the bottle.


The #52weeks52stories challenge is supposed to be flash fiction… and today I'm posting the TWELFTH installment of my story!
Vincent Perreti never played a video game he didn't want to master or saw a website he didn't want to hack.
Had it not been for a savvy guidance counselor, the twenty-nine-year-old could have easily ended up on the other side of the law. But tough-love moved the street-wise tech-geek past juvie hall through college and onto the Marbury police force.
"Man, would you quit? What have you found on our guy?" Getting no response, Myles glanced over at his partner.
He knew by the mischievous glint in Perreti's eyes and mega-watt grin the man had found a gold mine.
Both laughed while shaking their heads. Perreti pointed at Griffin's desk.
"Please eat just a little, mom. It's been hours since you've had anything besides coffee." Joanie Case held out the deli-style turkey sandwich to her mother.
As though on cue, hunger pains roared to life in Sally Bennett's stomach.
Joanie smirked, and Sally took the sandwich. She munched without thought, her eyes unable to leave the large double-doors leading to the surgery suites.
Two hours into the procedure, Dr. Weathers came out with an update.
He stood and leaned over Sally, squeezing her shoulder.
She smiled to herself as she crumpled the sandwich wrapper.
Carolyn returned to the waiting room from the hallway.
"Same here with Rick," Joanie added.
They all turned to their mother.
Sally leaned forward in her seat.
The five detectives had chairs pulled close to Gavin Marks' desk as they all listened to Michael Benchley, the current sheriff of Drexler, Delaware on speaker-phone.
Gavin wanted to leap from his seat.
He turned back to the speaker-phone.
Oh well. Looks like it's going to be an interesting road trip.
I have NO clue where this story came from, but it's getting weirder by the day! LOL! I'm having fun with it though. Will keep you in the loop!

Hamilton back on top after Canadian win
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton storms to victory at the Canadian Grand Prix.

2012 Formula One
Canadian Grand Prix
MONTREAL - McLaren's Lewis Hamilton stormed to a Canadian Grand Prix victory on Sunday to become a magnificent seventh winner in seven Formula One races this season and seize the championship lead.
The Briton had to mount a ferocious charge after his second pits top, banging in a series of fastest laps to reel in Red Bull's reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
Frenchman Romain Grosjean was second in a Lotus, a career best, with Mexican Sergio Perez third in a Sauber after overtaking Alonso - a driver he may end up partnering next season if he continues to impress.
It was Hamilton's third win in Montreal, an island circuit where he took his first grand prix triumph in 2007, in five attempts.
The 2008 champion, who also stood on top of the podium in Canada in 2010, had his most worrying moments in the two pits tops - McLaren's weak point this season - but on the track he was unstoppable.
"What a great feeling, this is where I won my first Grand Prix and I knew today would be a tough, tough race but I loved every single minute of it," said Hamilton, who now has 88 points to Alonso's 86 and Vettel's 85.
Brandishing the British flag as he stepped out of the car after a gripping finale, he hugged his mechanics while girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger kissed his visor.
"It's been five years since I won here the first time but it feels just as good. It feels great to be on the top step, we never take it for granted," he said.
"This for me feels like one of the very best races I have had for a long time."
Vettel had started from pole, just like last year, and led the early part of the 70 lap race but lost pace over the final laps to finish fourth in a grand prix that his Red Bull team have yet to win.
The German was fortunate to get to the chequered flag after skimming the wall three laps from the end.
HEAVY SECURITY
Spaniard Alonso, bidding to give resurgent Ferrari a victory on the 30th anniversary of the tragic death of former-Ferrari great Gilles Villeneuve but struggling on worn tyres at the finish, had to settle for fifth.
The race began under brilliant blue skies and threats by student protesters to disrupt the Grand Prix but heavy security at all entrance points to the island circuit made sure the race unfolded without incident.
On the track the race was also run without any major incidents, the safety car remaining parked - a rarity for Montreal - while the red flag was never waved.
Much of the 70 lap race was an enthralling battle between three world champions, Vettel, Alonso and Hamilton who all had turns at the front.

Derry City F.C.
Derry City Football Club is a professional football club based in Derry, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It plays in the League of Ireland Premier Division, the top tier of league football in the Republic of Ireland, and is the League of Ireland's only participant from Northern Ireland. The club's home ground is the Brandywell Stadium and the players wear red and white striped shirts from which its nickname, the Candystripes, derives. The club is also known as the Red and White Army, Derry or City. The club, founded in 1928, initially played in the Irish League, the domestic league in Northern Ireland, and won a title in 1964–65. In 1971, security concerns related to the Troubles meant matches could not be played at the Brandywell. The team played home fixtures 30 miles away in Coleraine. The security forces withdrew their objections to the use of the Brandywell the following year, but in the face of insistence from the Irish League that the unsustainable arrangement continue, the club withdrew from the league. After 13 years in junior football, it joined the League of Ireland's new First Division for 1985–86.

The divorce process is not complete until you ensure that you have deleted your former spouse from any ownership and beneficiary status, and revoked any durable powers of attorney and health care power of attorney in favor of your ex.
You also need a Will and some essential documents. For people who are single, the following are essential. You may also need a Trust in order to avoid Probate.
• Naming who should serve as personal representative of your estate in the event there are assets which cannot be passed outside of Probate.
Why do you need a Trust or Power of Attorney in St. Louis?
If you are not married you need to give financial authority to someone who can take over if you are in accident or otherwise become incapacitated.
If someone becomes incapacitated and they are married, their spouse can access their bank accounts, pay bills, and take care of day to day business.
But if you do not have a spouse, no one can do these things without the correct documentation in place.

Senate Committee Fails to Fix Flawed Chemical Bill
by Katie Weatherford, 4/29/2015
Citizen Health & Safety, Safeguarding Public Health and the Environment, Protecting Consumers, Setting and Enforcing Regulations, Political Interference, Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
See our related interactive maps of state chemical policies and our report, Reducing Our Exposure to Toxic Chemicals.
On April 28, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works reviewed proposed legislation from Sens. David Vitter (R-LA) and Tom Udall (D-NM) to revise the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), our nation's primary chemical safety law. Despite numerous attempts to constructively amend the flawed bill, the committee failed to fix the legislation and sent it on to the Senate floor.
The Vitter-Udall bill was flawed from the start.
When Vitter and Udall introduced their so-called TSCA "reform" bill in March, they claimed it would improve current law by eliminating some of the analytical requirements that TSCA imposes on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and allowing the agency to move faster to restrict dangerous chemicals. However, when combined with damaging provisions that would weaken the existing law and override strong state protections, the proposal represented a step backward, not meaningful reform.
Revisions to the bill still block states from protecting their residents from toxic chemicals and don't do enough to improve federal law.
In yesterday's committee session, Vitter offered up a new version of the bill, which addresses some of the problems with the prior version. But the updated proposal still threatens to override state and local policies that restrict or ban the most dangerous chemicals and fails to establish deadlines for EPA to issue enforceable chemical safety rules.
The Vitter revisions prohibit states from adopting or enforcing a new chemical restriction or ban once EPA issues a plan to review a specific chemical of concern. This provision would apply to state actions taken after Aug. 1, 2015. States are also banned from taking any action on the chemical during this multi-year review process.
If EPA determines that the chemical is "safe," states are blocked – indefinitely – from restricting or banning the chemical, even if they have evidence that the chemical poses a risk to their residents. If EPA finds that the chemical is unsafe, states could take action, but only until EPA issues its own rule on the substance. While states can request a waiver from EPA so they can act to protect their residents, the Vitter revisions retain extremely stringent waiver requirements, and state requests are unlikely to succeed.
The committee voted down a number of critical amendments that would have strengthened the bill.
During yesterday's committee review, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), and Edward Markey (D-MA) offered several amendments that would have corrected the troubling state policy override provisions, established firm deadlines for EPA to adopt chemical restrictions, and required swift action on extremely dangerous chemicals. Vitter opposed each of these amendments, and none of them passed a committee vote.
After defeating the critical amendments, the committee approved the bill and sent it to the full Senate for consideration. Boxer said that she will continue to push for improvements to the bill and will introduce 27 amendments when the legislation comes to the Senate floor in the coming weeks.
If the Senate passes the bill, it will move to the House. Its fate there is uncertain because Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL) is poised to introduce his own version of TSCA legislation, which would also override many state chemical policies and fail to provide EPA the tools it needs to effectively safeguard the public from toxic substances. The House could choose to act on the Shimkus bill, take up the Senate bill instead, or somehow combine the two.
Congress can improve our toxic chemical law, but only if it protects people and the states.
No matter how the legislative wrangling plays out, one thing is clear: neither bill represents real reform of our nation's chemical safety law, and the American people and the public interest community should continue to oppose the legislation until state policies are protected and EPA has the ability to take meaningful action to protect us all from toxic chemicals.
