Interview With Cardinal Paul Cordes of Cor Unum
By Jesús Colina
VATICAN CITY, JULY 14, 2008 (Zenit.org).- A spiritual retreat for leaders of Catholic charities on the American continent was not a waste of time, but rather a way to make them more efficient, explained the cardinal who oversees the Church's charity work.
Cardinal Paul Cordes presides over the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, the Vatican dicastery that coordinates the charitable activity of Catholic institutions around the world. It also distributes aid from the Pope, offered as a gesture of charity to populations struck by natural disasters or war.
In this interview with ZENIT, Cardinal Cordes talks about the first ever spiritual exercises organized by the pontifical council for directors of diocesan and national Caritas organizations and other Catholic charitable organizations. The exercises were held June 1-6 in Guadalajara, Mexico, and directed by the preacher of the Pontifical Household, Capuchin Father Raniero Cantalamessa.
Q: For the first time, directors of some of the Church's charitable institutions met in a continental retreat to meditate and pray. During those days there were global emergencies, such as the global food crisis, which leaves the peoples of developing countries going hungry. Wasn't a retreat a waste of time?
Cardinal Cordes: Indeed, it might seem that way, at least at the practical level. However, I think a better service can be offered the poor only when people who are dedicated to charitable activities are profoundly and solidly rooted in Christ and in ecclesial life.
This meeting was a strong investment: The efficacy of the Church's charitable action does not depend -- as Benedict XVI states in his encyclical "Deus Caritas Est" -- only on professionalism and the amount of interventions. What characterizes charitable intervention is its insertion in the Church's life itself, the fact of taking to men a message of hope and love, the love of God, in fact, for those who suffer most. This transforms aid into an act of charity, as understood in sacred Scripture.
The Holy Father says that an activity of Christian aid must be, in the first place, professional and efficient, but that this is not enough in itself. We organized the spiritual exercises in Guadalajara precisely in response to this "not enough." We witnessed that, although the dioceses already take the spiritual aspect into account, people have a great thirst for meetings of this sort. At the end of the exercises, one of the participants said to me: "Your Eminence, I return to my diocese, to my work, as though recharged, and with a great and renewed desire to continue serving, helping my neighbor as the Church requests."
Q: Many describe the Catholic Church as "the largest nongovernmental organization of the world." Do you agree with this definition? What is the difference between the Church and any other nongovernmental organization?
Cardinal Cordes: Father Cantalamessa, who directed the retreat with his conferences, has often addressed this argument. The greatest charity consists in helping our neighbor by offering him, along with concrete aid, also the greatest, most ineffable good: Christ himself. Therefore, the Church is called to help the poor, the needy, people hit by calamities in their material needs; but along with this, one who acts as a Christian -- that is, from his faith -- is called to take the love that God has as Father to each man, especially to those who suffer.
Nongovernmental organization are used to reflecting on the problems of the world, such as disasters, hunger, drought, migrations and war, in order to be able to address these challenges, especially, politically and technically. In giving priority to these practical and organizational interventions, the profound spiritual aspect is easily lost. From the quantitative point of view and using purely sociological categories, we can certainly confirm that the Catholic Church is the world's largest Nongovernmental organization, but this "primacy" is of little interest to us. The Church hopes to be a sign, to make visible the fact that no person has ever been excluded from God's paternal concern even if he is stricken by destructive, terrible and dehumanizing poverty. And, no less important, is to proclaim that there is eternal life.
In addition to this, there is a second argument. The great strength of the Church is found in the fact that often those who act in her are "incarnated," rooted in the concrete realities, in their field: They are present, they come from the same situations of suffering, they know them personally. Moreover, we have an extraordinary resource: Most of the volunteers offer their help for free. They commit themselves even before the arrival of funds or means sent by others.
Q: The Pope sent a message to the participants inviting them to intensify their friendship with Christ. Addressing those in charge of large aid institutions, it would seem that this message did not address its specificity: aid, development. Do you share this judgment?
Cardinal Cordes: A pastoral impulse should not stress so much the qualities already practiced by those who are listening, but rather aspects sometimes taken for granted and which, instead, should be reinforced. The Pope thinks that, to address the real problems better, what is necessary as foundation and point of departure is friendship with Christ. This friendship makes the agent of charity a Good Samaritan, according to the model and example of Christ.
Q: Father Raniero Cantalamessa has said that the Church should not only work with the poor but should be poor. What does this mean and how do you see this invitation?
Cardinal Cordes: Father Cantalamessa, who has truly addressed the core of the problem, stressed the importance of the way the Church presents herself when helping the poor. In this connection, he gave the example of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta. The Church makes herself credible by the way she presents herself before the various forms of poverty. Significant is the anecdote often mentioned of the journalist who, on visiting the House of the Dying in Kalighat, and after seeing the work of the religious who cared for the patients, exclaimed: "I wouldn't do this for a million dollars!" To which Mother Teresa responded: "Nor would I!"
Mother Teresa had understood, in her charism of help for the unfortunate, that in each poor person we are serving Christ. If I do not appear poor before the poor man, before Christ himself, I will not be living true charity.
Q: What were the participants' reactions to this new experience of spiritual exercises?
Cardinal Cordes: Many testimonies of satisfaction and gratitude. We are now preparing a publication in various languages with some experiences, as a memento for the participants. Moreover, some of the participants have already included in their agendas the taking of these exercises to their dioceses, in agreement with the local bishop.
Q: It's the first time an organization of the Holy See organizes such a meeting. Will there be others?
Cardinal Cordes: We hope so, given the joy and enthusiasm experienced, lived and referred to by the participants. I sincerely hope, from my heart, that this experience might be repeated also in other continents.

New Logo Revealed for Upcoming Off-White and Chicago Bulls Collaboration

Image via Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh™
The late Virgil Abloh's admiration for basketball, particularly the Chicago Bulls, is celebrated in an upcoming collaborative collection.
As detailed in a press release, the Off-White and Bulls partnership was brought about as a result of a conversation involving Don C, current Off-White CEO Andrea Grilli, and Abloh's family. In short, the press release adds, the aim with the soon-to-launch collection was to craft pieces that celebrated "the deep connection between the luxury fashion brand and the team."
The capsule is slated to launch on Feb. 2 via select Off-White stores and online, with a new logo (see below) featured across four limited-edition pieces. The four-piece capsule includes a t-shirt, a hoodie, and two varsity jacket designs.
"It's about to go down!" Don C said when unveiling the logo on Thursday.
Stay tuned for a closer look at the full capsule in the coming days.
In October, Off-White reunited with Church's for a limited capsule focused on the Brogue and Derby silhouettes. That same month, we were given a look at Abloh's Masters of the Universe toy set with Mattel. Featured in the four-piece collaborative collection were monochromatic takes on He-Man, Skeletor, and more.
In a statement shared alongside images of the collection, Abloh's Alaska Alaska studio noted the founder's "deep interest' in Masters of the Universe, adding that "aspects of his interest were rooted in nostalgia."
Earlier in 2022, it was announced that a new award in honor of Abloh was being introduced by Harlem's Fashion Row.

Even if the water looks clear, regularly testing your pond water is something we all should be doing. How "regular" depends on the condition of the pond—if you have a heavy fish load or lack a filtration system, you may want to test more often. At Dreamscapes, we prefer to test our outdoor display ponds monthly but the indoor retail tanks every other day during the season. If you notice something out of normal, such as the fish acting different or getting sick, we recommend testing it weekly. Similarly, when the bacteria colonies are just waking up in the spring and you start feeding fish, we recommend testing the pond often for ammonia and nitrites.
Ammonia – Ultimately, we want to aim for ZERO ammonia because ammonia is INCREDIBLY toxic to fish. In a properly cycled and balanced pond, this is not hard to do. In an overstocked pond, or an under-filtered one, you can easily see elevated ammonia levels. This is caused by the waste produced by the fish (and other critters like birds and frogs), as well as, leaves decomposing in the water.
pH- Most pond owners look for a pH of about 7.0 – 8.0 but here at Dreamscapes Watergardens, we tend to run at around a 9.0. Koi generally like a higher pH. The most important thing to note is that while 7.5 and 9.0 are both healthy, a swing in pH can most certainly shock and harm a fish. Thus it is important to acclimate fish properly no matter where you buy them or adopt them from.
Nitrite – Less toxic than ammonia, but still very toxic, we want our nitrite levels to be ZERO. Nitrite is the second stage of the nitrogen cycle and is the result of ammonia being broken down. In the spring, nitrite poisoning can be common if the conversions are not working properly.
Temperature – Temperature can affect what levels of ammonia become toxic, as well as respiration and metabolism in your fish. Koi typically can tolerate a broad range of temperatures, from iced over ponds to 90F and we find they typically do well in ponds that stay under 80F in the summer. The warmer the water is, the more need there will be to oxygenate the water as well. The temperature of the pond is also important to know when it comes to feeding the appropriate food to your fish.
Hardness – Koi do better in hard water because of the relation of salt within their bodies to the dissolved salts in the pond. Hard water allows koi to ease up on osmoregulation, and therefore reduce stress on your fish.
Phosphate – Another fertilizer for algae in your pond, its not uncommon to see it introduced from private wells. If algae is a problem, and all other things have been considered (water changes, feeding, filtration), we look at phosphates as a potential source for algae to grow from.
Copper – Generally only tested if you used a copper based medication or if you are currently using the Aquascape Ion Gen system. Copper at excessive levels will inhibit plant growth and can damage the skin and gills on your fish. If you notice your fish acting funky or even dying while the other levels are fine, test for copper and check your Iongen. Your Iongen should ONLY BE TURNED ON if string algae is present. If string algae is not present (such as in the spring) unnecessary Copper is released into the water and not absorbed.
For the safety of your fish, Dreamscapes performs FREE WATER TESTS during regular business hours for customers. Located in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, Dreamscapes Watergardens installs koi fish ponds and pondless waterfalls (disappearing waterfalls) all over the Central Pennsylvania area.

Heat wave kills 19 in Canada
Twelve of the dead were reported in the eastern province's capital Montreal, said regional public health director Mylene Drouin. The Tribune newspaper said five of the deaths occurred in the past 48 hours in the Eastern Townships, a rural area just east of the city. And late Wednesday two more deaths blamed on the heat were recorded in a Montreal suburb, Radio Canada reported. "My thoughts are with the loved ones of those who have died in Quebec during this heat wave," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Twitter.
"The record temperatures are expected to continue in central and eastern Canada, so make sure you know how to protect yourself and your family," Trudeau said. Drouin said the victims were part of "the very vulnerable population, the elderly or people suffering from chronic or mental illnesses." Temperatures soared to 34 degrees Celsius (93 Fahrenheit) with a humidity that made it feel closer to 40 degrees, the meteorological service said.
The mercury has regularly topped 30 degrees since Friday in southern Quebec, accompanied by stifling humidity levels. A government heat warning is in place for the region, but meteorologists are forecasting a drop in temperatures at the end of the week. No deaths had been reported for the same period in the neighboring province of Ontario, which has also sizzled under extremely high temperatures. In 2010, a heat wave killed around 100 people in the Montreal area.

All Eyes on Rob Portman as U.S. Senate Prepares to Vote on Witnesses
Newsletter/Ohio
by Ohio Democratic Party
In case you missed it… As the U.S. Senate prepares to vote on whether or not to hear from witnesses during President Donald Trump's impeachment trial, Ohio's Sen. Rob Portman is drawing heat for his uniquely problematic role as both a witness and participant in the events that culminated in Trump's impeachment, while now trying to serve as an "impartial" juror.
NBC's Heidi Przybyla notes, "Portman has been credited by the president himself with convincing him to release a hold on the nearly $400 million in aid to Ukraine that is at the center of the House's impeachment case and was involved in promoting a disputed narrative around the president's motives."
This weekend Darrel Rowland of the Columbus Dispatch noted, "Portman's personal involvement in the Ukraine aid situation leads some to ask whether he should be a witness rather than juror."
In the Cincinnati Enquirer, Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper writes of Portman's "blatant conflict of interest" in serving as a juror in Trump's impeachment trial:
If Portman was duped into being a participant in the White House's effort to cover its tracks, that's important to know, and he should say so. You'd imagine he'd want to assure Americans he did not knowingly mislead them. This would also mean that he is at the very least a witness to the impeachable course of action, including an attempt to cover it up with a bogus narrative involving a sitting senator. …
If Portman wasn't duped, but knowingly advanced the cover story – in coordination with that president, Pence and Mulvaney, via multiple and well-timed interviews – he has even more questions to answer. And here the conflict of interest is even more egregious, because Portman would have his own reputation to protect by squelching a robust impeachment trial.
Either scenario meets the textbook definition of having an interest in the case, and every vote he takes represents a blatant conflict of interest.
Throughout the impeachment trial, Portman has continued to duck interview requests.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM NBC:
Unlike his colleagues, Portman has been credited by the president himself with convincing him to release a hold on the nearly $400 million in aid to Ukraine that is at the center of the House's impeachment case and was involved in promoting a disputed narrative around the president's motives.
In the initial days after Congress began investigating Trump, Portman helped validate a justification for the delay that has not been born out by the evidence, even as the Trump legal team has mounted an 11th-hour effort to resurrect it.
Trump's lawyers have laid out a strategy to defend the president's actions in part by suggesting he blocked the aid because European nations have failed to provide adequate financial assistance toward Ukraine's security. That argument has largely been debunked — numerous fact checkers have noted that Europe has provided two-thirds of the aid since Russia illegally annexed Crimea in 2014.
But it's an argument Portman echoed in television appearances last fall and it's one that contradicts the main rationale Trump has offered since then: that the freeze was due to "corruption" concerns in Ukraine.
Portman was among the last known people outside of the White House to speak with Trump before the aid was released in September, according to a White House brief, and he's spoken little publicly about his role since last fall. A day after it was unfrozen, Portman thanked the president and said he agreed with Trump's assessment that other nations need to step up their assistance.
And the president singled out the Ohio senator as one of primary movers behind getting the aid released. "I gave the money because Rob Portman and others called me and asked," Trump told reporters in early October.
As part of the Senate trial, Portman has already voted against releasing correspondence from the Office of Management and Budget that could contradict the argument around Europe's contributions. And his participation in the disputed narrative is increasingly relevant as he faces a vote on whether to call witnesses, including former national security adviser John Bolton, who could establish whether Trump was telling Portman the truth about his motives.
Portman was among just seven senators expressing opposition to impeachment before any witnesses had testified in the House. That's in contrast to other Republicans representing swing states who had yet to weigh in.
In the immediate aftermath of the original whistleblower report that kickstarted the House investigation, Portman said the issue of corruption never came up in the conversation that allegedly led to the release of the aid.
Portman was part of a small group who spoke with Trump the evening of Sept. 11, just before the aid was released, according to a White House impeachment brief. An experienced foreign policy hand, former White House budget director and chairman of the bipartisan Ukraine Caucus in the Senate, Portman would go on to press the argument about a lack of European contributions as Trump offered that as justification after news of the whistleblower report became public.
At the White House in October, Trump repeated the claim about Europe's contribution, invoking Portman. "We were the sucker country for years and years," Trump said. "But I gave the money because Rob Portman and others called me and asked. But I don't like to be the sucker and European countries are helped far more than we are, and those countries should pay more to help Ukraine."
Yet David Holmes, a U.S. embassy official in Ukraine, testified in November that Trump's assertion was wrong and communicated that to the White House at the end of August. Since 2014, the U.S. has provided a combined $3 billion while the Europeans have provided $12 billion. "That information showed a different story," he testified.
Portman, through his spokesperson, declined an interview request from NBC News. But a senior Portman aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, acknowledged that his specific claim that Europe has fallen short in its financial obligations to Ukraine is incorrect and that his staff later reminded the senator of this.
Portman, in many ways, should be an ideal character and fact witness for Trump.

Contract Issues Attorneys Serving Southern CaliforniaAt Appleton Law Group, attorneys Heather Appleton and Cherryl F. Cercado are devoted to providing the highest standard of legal representation. Whether you are an individual or a business dealing with an employment contract dispute, our attorneys are dedicated to achieving flexible, effective resolutions in every case.
Contract issues are at the heart of many workplace disputes, and the breach of an employment contract or agreement often results from underlying problems. Contract issues commonly arise when an employee has been wrongfully or unlawfully terminated. Wrongful termination means an employee is terminated either for an unlawful reason or the termination violates the terms of a contract. Since wrongful termination and contract issues are often connected, it is important to discuss the details of your case with California employment lawyers who can make sure your rights are protected.
California is an at-will employment state, which means an employer may terminate an employee with or without notice and with or without cause, so long as the basis for termination is not a protected category such as race, age, or gender or protected conduct such as reporting a claim of harassment. Where there are written or verbal contract issues, however, an employer may be in breach of an employment contract if there are contractual prerequisites to termination. Sometimes, these types of claims can be supported simply by the language in an employer's Employee Handbook or other written materials provided to employees.
In addition to general breach of contract claims, California also recognizes claims based on a third party's interference with a contract or economic benefit, commonly called interference with contract or interference with prospective economic relationship. These claims arise when one person interferes with an existing contract to which he or she is not a party, or interferes with a reasonably foreseeable future economic benefit.
Contacting Southern California employment law attorneys who have the dedication and knowledge to effectively resolve a contract dispute is essential to ensure your rights and interested are protected.
If you have questions about a workplace or contract dispute, contact Appleton Law Group today to receive competent and effective representation at every stage of your case. Call our office today at 888-649-1874 or contact us online for a free consultation.

Vatican City, Nov 24, 2012 / 12:22 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Benedict XVI presided over the creation of six new cardinals Nov. 24, and in a unusual occurrence, none of them were European.
The consistory took place at 11 a.m. on Saturday in St. Peter's Basilica and involved bishops from the United States, Lebanon, India, Nigeria, Colombia and the Philippines. During the ceremony, the men all received rings from the Pope and made vows to him.
Pope Benedict XVI asked the new cardinals to focus on fidelity and the universality of the Church.
"I want to highlight the fact that the Church is the Church of all peoples, and so she speaks in the various cultures of the different continents," said Pope Benedict.
As part of becoming cardinals, they vowed to "cooperate more directly with Benedict XVI and his canonically elected successors" and "to not make known to anyone matters entrusted to me in confidence, the disclosure of which could bring damage or dishonor to the Holy Church."
"What makes the Church catholic is the fact that Christ in his saving mission embraces all humanity," said Pope Benedict.
He said in his homily that "by following Jesus one enters a new kingdom that conquers fragmentation and dispersal."
"Jesus promises that they (the apostles) will be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, and he confers upon them the task of bearing witness to him all over the world, transcending the cultural and religious confines within which they were accustomed to think and live, so as to open themselves to the universal Kingdom of God," said Pope Benedict.
The six men who received the honor were the American Archbishop James Michael Harvey, Lebanese Patriarch Bechara Boutros Raï, Indian Major Archbishop Baselios Cleemis Thottunkal, Nigerian Archbishop John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, Colombian Archbishop Rubén Salazar Gómez and Filipino Archbishop Luis Antonio Tagle.
"It's so exciting to be here and have a Nigerian as one of the cardinals," said Honorus Obasi, who works for the Nigerian embassy to Italy.
"It's a great occasion because the Church is developing in Africa and creating a Nigerian cardinal will help the country," he added.
"Cardinal John Onaiyekan is a very humble" and outspoken man. "We're very proud and happy to have him here," said Obasi.
Popes usually create cardinals every two or three years, but this marks the second consistory in 2012, after Pope Benedict held one on Feb. 18 for the creation of 22 cardinals.
The six new cardinals are all under the age of 80, which means they are eligible to vote on who will be the next Pope, alongside 120 other cardinals.
Today's consistory was also notable because it is the first one in decades at which no Europeans were made cardinals.
The Lebanese, whose president also attended the event, expressed their joy of having more representation in the Vatican with Patriarch Bechara Boutros Raï becoming their second cardinal.
"I'm so happy because our country is so small, but we can still now be a part of the Vatican with our second cardinal," said Tanya Daccache, visiting from Keserwan, Lebanon.
"This is going to help Christians in the Middle East because it's going to force Muslims to respect us more," she added.
"The Arab Spring has been severely affecting Christians and we want to be able to stay there. We have a big duty to raise our children with the mentality of staying in Lebanon."
"We're such a small country, but we have seven saints," Daccache added.
A Lebanese entrepreneur who lives in France said he feels that the elevation of Patriarch Raï was a gift from God.
"It's a donation from God because he is such a great person, and it's a huge and great pleasure to have our patriarch be a cardinal," said Raymond Elasmar.
"We're hoping we will now be more protected in the Middle East, and we hope God gives him the health and the energy to guide all of us," he said.
Henrietta Devilla, the former Philippine ambassador to the Holy See, is a friend of the newly-created Philippine cardinal.
"It's a sign of grace for the Philippines," she said. "I know him personally, and he's brilliant man and very compassionate."
"You don't have to bow to him or anything. He's like Jesus who didn't come to be served but to serve," Devilla remarked.
"We're very grateful to the Holy Father for doing this because we're the only Christian nation in Asia," she said.
Devilla also noted that Cardinal Tagle is the "only active cardinal because our other two are Emeritus."


Minnesota teacher buys laptops for students with inheritance | Law Office of Sivertson and Barrette, P.A.
On behalf of Law Office of Sivertson and Barrette, P.A. posted in Estate Planning on Monday, October 7, 2013.
A third grade teacher at a school in White Bear Lake, Minnesota made the news this month when she made the choice to use a small inheritance from her parents to buy laptops for her students.
The teacher says that while her parents did not leave her the money specifically for this purpose, they always supported her students and her job as a teacher. In fact, while her father was still alive he donated several personal laptops to the school, several of which are still in use.
This story is a great example of the many ways in which people can use assets passed down among the generations to further causes that are important to the whole family and to invest in the community.
Families have a variety of different types of goals when it comes to estate planning. In this case a passion for education helped the woman who inherited money from her parents to decide what to do with the money, but in other cases parents may want to include more guidance or attach conditions to a gift in order to make sure it is used for something they support. For example, setting up a charitable trust and naming children or grandchildren as trustees to distribute specific gifts can help the whole family get involved in giving back to the community.
Of course, an estate plan contains a lot of personal decisions and it is important to do what is right in your specific situation rather than follow a mold of what others have done. In that respect it is helpful to consult with a professional to get a sense of all of the options.

In early drafts, it was there: a direct promise to reverse the unpopular car- registration fines and fee hikes that the legislature and Gov. Bill Ritter imposed on motorists in mid-2009. But The Denver Post reports that when gubernatorial hopeful Scott McInnis' new "Platform for Prosperity" — touted as a conservative agenda that will get Republicans elected down the ticket, too — finally emerged, the promise was gone.

Yanukovych should be involved in reconciliation process in Donbas, - Lewandowski
Corey Lewandowski, the Head of the political headquarters of the U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence
Ex-President of Ukraine has to be involved in the settlement of Donbas conflict, as Corey Lewandowski, the Head of the political headquarters of the U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence said in an interview for an Israeli TV channel ILand, Ukrainian News reported.
In his statement, Lewandowski referred to the conversation with Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem about Ukraine during his recent visit to Israel.
"We talked about a need to bring new people even the ex-President (Yanukovych, - ed.), as he is from this region. The Patriarch supported it. We also officially support this position and in the press, when we see the escalation of the tensions… Yes, we have discussed this issue with the Patriarch. We have agreed that the conflicts should be settled. I have to say that the President of Russia pays heed to the Patriarch and treats him very well. So the Patriarch might play a very important role in this case. In the settlement of the conflict (war conflict in Donbas, - ed.). And not only in the religious sector, but also in politics, business and so on".
Besides, Lewandowski mentioned the judicial process against Yanukovych is still underway. "As Ukraine is our friend, it is important for us that all the processes which go on there are fair, and that human rights are not violated. Official letters have being sent to the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. No reaction followed. Informal contacts were implemented through the U.S. State Secretary Mike Pompeo during the meetings in Washington and through our media. I repeat, we consider Ukraine our friend, and it is important for us that the spirit and the letter of the law are observed in all the cases. We are worried about that", he said.

My husband had surgery last week and so I took off this week to take care of him as well as the kids. Stephen is the Stay at Home Farter and part of his recovery wouldn't allow him to lift more than 5 lbs so that meant he couldn't do his STAF duties without help. It's actually been really nice to be able to take care of my family in this way. One of the things I did to get the kids out of the house and give Stephen some peace and quiet so he could rest was taking the kids to one of our favorite spots, Aldridge Gardens, in Birmingham, AL and take some pictures of our sweet toddlers.
Aldridge Gardens is such a beautiful place. On our first visit, shortly after we moved to Alabama, there was some nursery, plant sale going on and lots of people were there. We had the pleasure of speaking with the former owner of the property and he told us about it. It used to be his residence but the acreage of gardens was just too much to keep up with so he donated it and still participates in the events and loves to see people come and enjoy it. They have a dock where you can go out and feed fish, turtles, ducks, etc. There are trails that go around a large pond area. They have some statues and beautiful trees. It's just a really beautiful and peaceful place. There are always weddings going on and I'm sure it's an amazing setting for such events.
While I was still pregnant with my daughter, (who is now 3!) I took my son to Aldridge Gardens to play and took some pictures of him. He was only 18-months old and he'll be 5 in a couple of months and just started preschool yesterday! The saying, "the days seem long, but the years are short" is completely holding true for our little family.
We recently travelled to Kansas for a family reunion. We flew into Kansas City, MO and had some time to kill before the rest of the family arrived. We took that opportunity to check out the city and specifically Science City – Kansas City, MO.
Happy Birthday to my dear sweet little Libby. I can't believe how fast this parenthood thing is flying, am I right? In honor of this girl, I've got some 3 year old picture ideas to share with you. Be prepared, this is picture and cuteness overload today!

   0.5*DOWP*log(DOWP^2+TOW^2)-TOW*(atan(DOWM/TOW)-atan(DOWP/TOW))
 ret=FAC/2.0
 end
end

But when the the script run an error occurs:
Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch.
Error in widesefor (line 62)
    A(1,i)=PHI(dist)
When I assign a value manually to the D input variable in the function no error occurs. What is the reason?

A: In PHI function, there are global variable declerations: FAC, DELTA , t.
To share these variables with a script file, same variables also must be declared
as "GLOBAL" in the script as well as in the function definition.
In the error situation, DELTA and t is not initialized properly in the function
file because of missing 'GLOBAL' declaration in the script file.

By consenting to provide a sample of your donated breast milk for research projects, you will help researchers better understand human milk's unique properties and improve existing treatments. These scientific advances will benefit the population as a whole.
Here are the ongoing research projects.
The objective is to develop an irradiation process that will ensure the safety of mother's milk while preserving its biological and nutritional properties.
Human milk will be irradiated at different doses to evaluate which ones are successful in reducing the main pathogens that can be found in the milk.
The research project will evaluate, among other things, the possibility of reducing the dose of radiation required to ensure the safety of mother`s milk through a combination of treatments (for example, adding nutrients containing antimicrobial properties, such as vitamin C.) The protein, fat and lactose content will also be studied.
The research project is evaluating the impact of probiotic-enriched powdered human milk on the intestinal microbiota, modulation of the immune system and reduction in the incidence of diseases associated with aging and obesity.
The objective is to develop a food derived from powdered human milk that could be used to improve the health of adults suffering from obesity, cancer, hypertension and metabolic syndrome.
Héma-Québec provides pasteurized human milk to infants who require medical care because they were born preterm at 32 weeks' gestation or earlier and whose mother cannot breastfeed.
Prior to being banked, human milk undergoes several tests. Some of these must be performed over several days, which presents a number of challenges.
Human milk contains many elements that explain its ability to prevent the development of necrotizing enterocolitis, a serious intestinal illness. No test is currently available, however, to detect these elements.
By consenting to provide a sample of your donated breast milk for research projects, you are helping us develop various tests to address these two issues and, at the same time, better meet the needs of infants born extremely preterm.
Compare the beneficial effects of human milk with those of commercial cow's milk in animal models of diseases affecting humans.
Thanks to your participation in this study, we hope to develop a formulation that has nutritional and therapeutic properties that are beneficial.
For any question about your rights or if you have a complaint to be formulated, you can communicate with the administration office of the Héma-Québec Research Ethics Board at 514-832-5000, extension 5370, or toll free at 1-888-666-4362, extension 5370.

Samuel Wylie Crawford (November 8, 1829 – November 3, 1892) was a United States Army surgeon and a Union general in the American Civil War.
Transferring to the infantry early in the war, he led a brigade at Cedar Mountain which routed a division that included Stonewall Jackson's unit, though it was later driven back. Severely wounded at Antietam, he was back in action at Gettysburg, where his division drove the Confederates out of 'Death Valley' beside Little Round Top, with Crawford dramatically seizing the colours and leading from the front. Although this was a relatively minor engagement, Crawford tried for years to become officially acknowledged as the sole saviour of Gettysburg, but without success. The preservation of the battlefield, however, is largely due to his efforts.
In the last days of the war, his division went astray at Five Forks, causing his corps commander, Maj. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren, to miss the attack while searching for them - one of the pretexts used by Sheridan for his controversial sacking of Warren.
Early life 1
Postbellum life 3
Crawford was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1846 and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1850. He joined the U.S. Army as an assistant surgeon in 1851 and served in that capacity for ten years.
Crawford was the surgeon on duty at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, during the Confederate bombardment in 1861, which represented the start of the Civil War. Despite his purely medical background, he was in command of several of the artillery pieces returning fire from the fort.
A month after Fort Sumter, Crawford decided on a fundamental career change and accepted a commission as a major in the 13th U.S. Infantry. He served as Assistant Inspector General of the Department of the Ohio starting in September 1861. He was promoted to brigadier general of volunteers on April 25, 1862, and led a brigade in the Department of the Shenandoah, participating in the Valley Campaign against Stonewall Jackson, but the brigade saw no actual combat. Its first taste of battle was during the Northern Virginia Campaign, when it was assigned to the Army of Virginia under Maj. Gen. John Pope. At the Battle of Cedar Mountain, Crawford's brigade launched a surprise attack upon the Confederate left, routing a division that included the Stonewall Brigade. The Confederates counterattacked, however, and Crawford's brigade, which was unsupported by other units, was driven back with 50% casualties.
At the George G. Meade.
In June 1863, the Pennsylvania Reserves Division was added to the Strong Vincent on Little Round Top, but the battle had already petered out by the time his division arrived.
Meanwhile, the Confederate troops of Lt. Gen. James Longstreet's Corps had swept through the Devil's Den, driving the Union defenders back to Plum Run, a stream just to the west of Little Round Top, and an area that became known to the soldiers as "the Valley of Death". Crawford's division swept down the slope of Little Round Top along with the brigades of Colonels William McCandless and David J. Nevin. McCandless's brigade led the charge, but Crawford apparently desired some of the glory and seized his own division's colors from a surprised sergeant to lead them in the charge, too. The charge was successful, meeting little resistance, and the Confederates were driven from the Valley of Death.
Although this was a relatively minor engagement and casualties were light, Crawford spent the remainder of his life basking in the glory of Little Round Top. After the war, Crawford was prominent in preserving the Gettysburg Battlefield and at one point attempted to raise money to cover the hill with a large memorial building and museum dedicated to his division. (This plan was a failure, and Little Round Top remains close to its original condition, although sprinkled with smaller monuments.) Crawford also spent considerable effort politicking to get the official records of the war to acknowledge his role as the savior of Little Round Top, but he was also unsuccessful in this quest.
Crawford remained in command of the Pennsylvania Reserve Division in the V Corps for the rest of the war. In the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign he also commanded a garrison in the siege that consisted of his first two brigades, a division from the IX Corps, and a few other regiments and artillery units; his third brigade was temporarily assigned to another V Corps division.[1] On December 12, 1864, President Abraham Lincoln nominated Crawford for appointment to the brevet grade of major general, to rank from August 1, 1864, and the U.S. Senate confirmed the nomination on February 14, 1865.[2] On August 18, he was wounded at the chest in the action at the Weldon Railroad. He received a brevet promotion to brigadier general in the regular army for the Battle of Five Forks and to major general on March 13, 1865. At Five Forks, his division drifted away through heavy woods from the main attack on the Confederate left. Maj. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren, commander of V Corps, personally rode off to retrieve Crawford's division. His absence during the attack was one of the reasons cited by Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan to relieve Warren. Although Crawford was the senior general in the corps, Sheridan named a more junior officer (Brig. Gen. Charles Griffin) to replace Warren.[3]
Crawford was present for Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House in April 1865, making him one of the few soldiers to be present at both the beginning and the effective end of the Civil War.
Postbellum life
Crawford retired from the Army on February 19, 1873, and was given the rank of brigadier general, U.S. Army Retired. He died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is buried there in Laurel Hill Cemetery. He was the author of The Genesis of the Civil War, published in 1887.

In Anand: Move by Move Franco presents thirty-two very deeply annotated games in chronological order spanning Vishy Anand's career from his first meeting with Karpov at Linares in 1991 to the 2014 candidates tournament in Khanty-Mansiysk.
In a bit of departure for the MBM series it begins with an appraisal of Anand's playing style, followed by a section of training positions that highlight various facets of Anand's play. Franco believes that the standout aspect of Anand's play is his versatility and claims that Anand's style most resembles Fischer's. However, it is almost a prerequisite to top-level play nowadays that a competitor be versatile and I do not particularly agree with the Fischer comparison. I thought he was going to say Spassky, but this is a subjective matter anyway.
Another way that Anand: Move by Move stands apart from other titles in this series is that the analysis is on a much deeper level. For example the following position from the game Anand-Adams, San Louis 2005 arose after 23.Qd2!!
[FEN "r3rbk1/1b3p2/1q1p2pp/1p1P1N2/1np1P3/3n1NRP/1P1Q1PP1/1BB1R1K1 b – – 0 23"]
Here the reader is presented with an exercise:
Exercise (tactical, very difficult): How should Black defend now? (and without any help from the computer)
23…Bxd5?
And there follows a full page of analysis devoted to other alternatives and the correct 23…Nxe1!, which would have led to a draw with precise play.
Franco notes that the idea of 23.Qd2 was discovered by Yusupov "during the 1995 match"; presumably referring to the Anand-Kamsky match. He includes notes from many contemporary sources, with credits to Megabase 2014, Chess Informant, New In Chess, and Jaque, and expands on them when he deems it necessary to illustrate a point. Thus, as with any best games collection, the games have likely all been published before in various outlets and are likely to be familiar to advanced readers.
Franco also credits the chess engines Fritz, Houdini, and Rybka. It used to be that readers had to rely on an author to sort out the deep analysis and get closer to the truth of the positions. Yet, nowadays, the reader has access to the same tools as the author with regard to chess engines and the pendulum is swinging back in favor of explanation over analysis in what is required from the author. Here, however, analysis seems to win out over explanation. Or at least Franco deems the deep analysis necessary to the understanding of the play. The level of analysis in Anand: Move by Move is probably at a higher level than any book in the series so far, and it will be challenging to the average player.
As is customary in the MBM series, the games are interspersed with questions and exercises for the reader to solve. Here is an example from Anand-Lautier, Biel 1997. Franco introduces the game as follows:
"Anand has good memories of the tournament in Biel/Bienne: excellent organization, very comfortable conditions, and pleasant walks along the lakeside. This sense of well-being was reflected in Anand's chess as early as the very first round, in which he conjured up a spectacular combination of great beauty, one of which he was very proud, and that produced a miniature."
We pick up the position after 18 Rb1.
[FEN "r3k2r/pp3ppp/2p1p3/3n3P/3P2P1/2qBRP2/P1P2Kb1/1RBQ4 b kq – 0 18"]
18…Qxd4
In the event of 18…Bxf3 19 Qxf3 Qxd4 20 Rxb7 0-0, then 21 Qe4 saves the exchange and wins, as indicated by Anand. Inserting 19…Nxe3 20 Qxe3 allows White to defend the d4-pawn and threaten Rxb7, while if 20…b6 (20…0-0-0 fails to 21 Rxb7!, exploiting the loose black queen) 21 Bd2 Qa3 22 Qe5! White's activity gives him a decisive advantage.
Switching the move order by 18…Nxe3 19 Bxe3 Bxf3 20 Qxf3 allows White to retain his important central pawn. Then after 20…0-0-0, White activates his pieces with surprising speed: 21 Rb3 Qa5 22 Be4! and now 22…Rhf8? loses at once to 23 Bxc6! Bxc6 24 Qxc6+ Qc7 25 Qa6+ Kd7 26 Rb7, while 22…Qc7 runs into 23 Bf4 Qd7 24 Bxc6! Qxc6 25 Rc3.
19 Rxb7 Rd8
Exercise: The other critical line was 19…Bh3. What did Anand have in mind in that case?
Answer: White can exploit the loose black queen once again with 20 Rxf7!. Anand commented that he looked no further, but Lautier calculated more deeply: 20…c5 (defending the queen and threatening to take the rook) 21 Rf5!! and wins; for example, 21…c4 22 Rf4!! or 21…Nxe3 22 Bxe3 Qb2 23 Qe2! (threatening Bb5+; Anand's 23 Rxc5 0-0 24 Kg3! wins as well) 23…exf5 24 Bxc5+ and mates.
In the event of 19…Nf4 20 Kg3 Qd6, White has the nice shot 21 Ba3!, and if 21…Qxa3 then either 22 Be4! (Anand) or 22 Bb5!, while after 21…Nxh5+ 22 Kxg2 Qg3+ 23 Kf1, White threatens 24 Re7+ as well as to capture the knight on h5.
Finally, 19…0-0-0 can be met by the simple 20 Rxf7 Kb8 21 Qg1!.
[FEN "3rk2r/pR3ppp/2p1p3/3n3P/3q2P1/3BRP2/P1P2Kb1/2BQ4 w k – 0 20"]
Exercise (difficult): The black king is still in the centre and White's pieces are active. Is it possible to exploit these factors? If so, how?
20 h6!!
This is not the first move that springs to mind. In ChessBase Magazine #60, Anand explained his thought process: "Here I saw the possibility of Bg6 and then I realized that it didn't work because at a certain moment Black would simply play …Kg8. Then I saw the possibility of h6, when …Kg8 could be met by Rg7+!. Suddenly, all that remained was to check the details."
To clarify, the first line he saw (which didn't work) was 20 Bg6?? Qxd1 21 Rxe6+ Kf8 22 Ba3+ (or 22 Rxf7+ Kg8) 22…Ne7 23 Bxe7+ Kg8 and Black wins.
20…gxh6?
"This gave me a chance to have a really beautiful finish. Black could still fight with …Nxe3, but Joel hadn't seen the idea behind h5-h6."
In view of the harsh punishment now meted out, 20…Nxe3 was preferable, though White would still be winning after 21 Bxe3 Qe5 22 hxg7 Rg8 23 Qc1! (covering the e3-bishop so as to enable Kxg2, while also threatening Qa3) or similarly 23 Qg1!. Note that White should avoid 23 Bh6? Qh2!.
21 Bg6!!
[FEN "3rk2r/pR3p1p/2p1p1Bp/3n4/3q2P1/4RP2/P1P2Kb1/2BQ4 b k – 0 21"]
21…Ne7
Now if 21…Qxd1, Black does get mated: 22 Rxe6+ Kf8 23 Bxh6+ Kg8 24 Bxf7 mate.
And there are no better defences:
a) 21…Qxe3+ 22 Bxe3 hxg6 (or 22…fxg6) 23 Qd4 wins with multiple threats.
b) 21…Qf6 22 Bxf7+ Qxf7 23 Rxf7 Nxe3 24 Qxd8+! (retreating the queen is good, but the most practical, and indeed strongest, option is simply to give it back) 24…Kxd8 25 Bxe3 Bh3 26 Rxa7 with an easy win.
c) 21…Nxe3 22 Bxf7+ Kf8 23 Qxd4 Rxd4 24 Bxe3 wins easily too, threatening Bxh6 mate as well as the rook and bishop.
22 Qxd4 Rxd4 23 Rd3!
23 Rxe6 Rd7 24 Rxd7 Kxd7 25 Bxf7 would win, but the text move is simpler, eliminating Black's only active piece.
23…Rd8 24 Rxd8+ Kxd8 25 Bd3! 1-0
[FEN "3k3r/pR2np1p/2p1p2p/8/6P1/3B1P2/P1P2Kb1/2B5 b – – 0 25"]
After 25…Bh1 26 Bb2 Re8 27 Bf6, Black is paralysed and will soon lose material.
Anand: Move by Move takes this series to a challenging new level that is sure to test and expand the capabilities of the average reader. If you approach the material in a serious and diligent manner, then working your way through this title is almost guaranteed to raise the level of your play.

Introducing: The Emmett Till House
Introducing: The Emmet Till House. A Wish for West Woodlawn
Emmett Till lived across the street. He left for vacation in 1955 to visit relatives in Money, Mississippi; that same summer his body was returned to this city in a casket brutally disfigured, almost unrecognizable. Emmett was one of many residents of what has been called a "tight little island" (in the book of that name by Robert L. Polk and Cheryll Y. Greene): the West Woodlawn community in the mid-twentieth century. The building where Emmett resided with his mother is still in the same location at 6427 S. St. Lawrence. I would like to see the structure turned into an educational community center.
Books, magazines, computers, tables and chairs could be donated. The location can sponsor after-school programs, poetry slams, films, Saturday afternoon rap-sessions and block club meetings; on the walls would hang community collages, posters and photographs telling the story of Emmett Till.
Could West Woodlawn finally be considered worth saving by a visible, identifiable, powerful group that can use their influence to bring one community project to fruition? It is my present understanding that the building is owned by a bank. Could a noteworthy community coalition learn who owns what, the zoning laws, what is and is not acceptable in a residential setting according to city ordinances?
And what about the unkempt vacant lot on the north side of the building? At harvest time the basement of the building could serve as a food pantry where fresh vegetables grown on the vacant lot turned community garden are distributed to families in need.
Need more support? Two examples of locations serving as community centers can be viewed at 70th and Lafayette, the Smith Museum, and in the 1700 block of W. Garfield Blvd. In 2009, renowned Jazz Musician Ernest Dawkins and his band did a fabulous tribute to Emmett Till called "Until Emmett Till." In 2008, Ifa Bayeza presented a lyrical Ballad of Emmett Till at the Goodman Theater. The poets/writers from the Neighborhood Writing Alliance read personal accounts of the 1955 tragedy at both events. And we must never forget the courageous group of women who organized as The West Woodlawn Women's Club in 1935 to fight the unfair practices of the University of Chicago against the West Woodlawn homeowners. This club is still serving this community under the Presidency of Mrs. D. Moore (not one of the original women!). Do you know of possible supporters who would be willing to lend their names, talent and other efforts to a movement like this? A movement like this would have to be transparent to everyone involved regarding every single incoming penny, and all verbal and written agreements; open books, no dead in, shut out, undisclosed deals. The last information I have for the property owner is: Great Street Properties, aka ABE, 22 North Morgan, phone #312-733-9100, fax #9768. The web page was listed as greatstreetproperties. com. Could your influence and know-how open doors to information my voice cannot?
This is my wish for West Woodlawn. ◊

Aloes are perennials and small trees with rosettes of succulent lance shaped leaves. Leaves can be green, blue-grey or variegated. Spikes if lily-like flowers may be borne usually during spring. They can be planted outdoors in frost free areas or used as houseplants.
Aloes require a very free draining soil. Tree types require full sun, smaller varieties prefer a little shade.
I know thier is more than one kind of aloe, but is this the Aloe that heals burns and cuts because, I think it is called Aloe Viera.

There's not much that you need to learn to play slots machines, especially when they're online. That's half the appeal of these easy and entertaining games as you can start playing as soon as you join a site. You don't have to worry about learning a strategy to win; all you need to do is login to a site and choose a game that you like the look of.
One thing you'll never have to worry about is a choice of where to play slots online. There are so many sites to choose from, and all of them will offer tempting bonuses to get new players to join. If you play casino games with 32Red, you can get a fantastic $32 for every $10 that you put down in your initial deposit into your 32Red account. That's more than trebling your money without placing a single bet!
Slots can provide endless variety too, with differently themed games around superheroes, TV and film characters, TV quiz shows and board games - to name but a few. There are also lots of other themes like tropical islands, Egyptian kings and queens and alien-themed slots. And it's not just a question of placing a bet and spinning the reels. Most games have extra layers of interest, with bonus rounds that you can get into with a special combination of symbols on the reels, where you can win extra spins and cash prizes.
People might consider slots to be a solitary game and, for the most part, they are. That's the great thing about them. You can play slots any time you've got a few minutes to spare, wherever you are. 32Red and many other casino sites now have a wide selection of slots in mobile format, so it's a great option if you're on the bus or train on the way to and from work. Because you can't influence the results when playing slots, they don't need any player concentration so it's a great way to wake yourself up on the way in to work or to wind down on the way home after a stressful day.
But you can make slots a more sociable game, by challenging your friends to play you at some of the regular tournaments you'll find on different online sites, or just joining the tournaments and playing other players you don't know. At 32Red there are lots of tournaments to choose from, some of which take place over a week period, so you can play the tournament game whenever you have the chance during the week in order to climb the leaderboard. If you find you're slipping down the leaderboard, you can always put in some more playing sessions to improve your position. If you end up at the top of the leaderboard, you'll stand to win or share an extra cash prize.
Slots are easy and fun to play; it's no wonder it's one of the most popular online games around. The fact that many of the internet gaming sites let you play slots for free in demo mode just adds to the appeal when you're low on gaming funds.


I can vouch for these converters as I've tested them in my studio when my friend first bought them several years ago. They are on par with the likes of Lavry Gold, Pacific Microsonics, Forssell etc. This is a bargain for 8 channels of super high end A/D conversion. Can do high resolution PCM or DSD.

Kuchipudi-nayika in lathangi posture
Kuchipudi (Telugu: కూచిపూడి) is a Classical Indian dance from Andhra Pradesh, India.. Kuchipudi' dance form got its name from the name of Kuchipudi village where the resident Brahmins practiced this traditional dance form. It originated in the seventh century.
Kuchipudi is a cultural heritage of Andhra Pradesh.
By Dr Shobha Naidu in An Uncompromising Purist. Hyderabadbest.com. Retrieved on 15 January 2014.
In Andhra, particularly the Bharata's Natya Sashtra had been highly developed in the medieval times, in the courts of the Kakatiyas, Reddis, Rayas and Nayudus of Warangal, Kondavidu, Vijyanagar and Racakinda. In the Kuchipudi tradition, the Bhagavatas of Andhra preserved a considerable amount of the knowledge of Bharata's Natya Sastra.

Kuchipudi started from Samskrutha roopakam and in the 13th Century, Kalaapam was started by Saint Siddhendra Yogi. The inspiration for Kalaapam, 'Yakshaganam' was scripted by Kandukuri Rudra Kavi named Sugreeva Vijayam, which was useful in the performance of Kuchipudi bhagavathas from which Yakshaganam was adopted.

[That was the beginning of the 60s]. In those days, Sangeet Natak Akadem conferences deemed only four Indian styles as classical dances, and Kuchipudi was not one of them. Owing to the profusion of dance masters who were Kuchipudi trained, Kuchipudi was termed as a "filmy dance" or Koothu. However, in the 1958 Natya Kala Conference under the leadership of Banda Kanakalingeswara Rao, Vissa Appa Rao and others, Kuchipudi was just beginning to get some amount of recognition.

Kuchipudi deals mainly with religious themes and relies on the philosophy of jeevatma's desire to merge with parmatma.
In "Vedantam Ramalinga Sastry — Masterspeak"
An artiste should not live on art, they should live for art.
Kuchipudi originated as a group performance. So when the solo form emerged, the pressure on the dancer was more as the dancer had to delineate different characters and varied moods.
In "Journey in dance". 23 May 2013. Retrieved on 15 january 2014.
It is the dance form that gives you scope to perform diametrically opposite characters at one go, as the theme progresses in the form of episodes. A single dancer can perform the entire Kurukshetra. No other dance form offers this opportunity.
By Dr. Shobha Naidu in "An Uncompromising Purist"
Sahiti Ravali, a Kuchipudi Dancer from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh
Kuchipudi there is no dancer, no actor, no musician who is exclusively that. The dancer is the actor; the actor is the musician is the dancer. All put together. It's story-telling. The whole point of it is the style developed with a group of boys taken on to act and.tell the stories. In fact, it was not just dance alone. In India, dance and drama have never been separate. And the dramatic element in Kuchipudi is very important. That is the difference between Kuchipudi and Bharata Natyam — that, in Kuchipudi, the dancer is the story-teller. If a particular point can be put across more by mime, then that is the element to be used.

Welcome to the next installment of the Planing Slab project! Part one is here.
To make the planing slab, I opted to follow Christopher Schwarz' advice and dig through the stacks at my local home center for the clearest, driest, straightest Douglas Fire 2″ x 10″s I could find in order to laminate a benchtop. I should mention I showed up at exactly 7am and spent over an hour garnering confused and/or disapproving looks from the contractors who were probably wondering why a stocky thirty-something with a beard and a trendy haircut was checking construction grade lumber for knots and twist in fashionable jeans, a scarf and work gloves.
Once back at home, I left the approximately 36 feet of the aforementioned 2″x 10″ Douglas Fir (crosscut into six 6 foot boards) against the wall to dry out for 2-3 weeks, because "driest and straightest" equals not "dry and straight".
Apologies for the grainy picture. On a side note, is it just me or is my chisel mallet incredibly phallic?
I don't own a moisture meter, but wetter pretty much means heavier, so I used a scale to compare the relative weights of each board over a couple weeks. When there was no change in the weight of a board over a 7 day stretch, I knew it was dry enough to be ripped down. I will spare everyone the play-by-play on hand-ripping nine 3″ wide lengths of Douglas Fir, but suffice to say, I had to resharpen my 8 TPI panel saw after rip seven of nine. It also became much easier once I built that second saw bench.
Not sure if I ever posted a picture of my Lie-Nielsen-style saw vise.
From there, it was all ripping, surface planing and glue-ups when I could find the time (usually one board every three or four days). After a couple weeks in total, I had at long last a little more than 72″ x 13″ x 3″ of lamination.
I had to grab all of my parallel jaw clamps from my parents' house.
That's all for this installment. In part three, I'll cover flattening and final dimensioning, while part four will take us through installation of the Veritas inset vise and dog holes and final surfacing of the completed slab.
