Specifications for shafts and housing support surfaces
Shaft bearing seat
Recommended fits for bearings on solid steel shafts in cast iron housings are provided under Bearings, units and housings and in the SKF catalogue Rolling bearings.
If adapter or withdrawal sleeves are used, the sleeve seat on the shaft should be machined to tolerance class h9 or better. The total radial runout should be IT5/2 for tolerance class h9.
If bearings are to be mounted directly onto the shaft, the cylindricity tolerance and total runout tolerance of the bearing seat should, depending on the requirements, be one to two IT tolerance grades better than the prescribed dimensional tolerance. Abutments for bearing rings should have a perpendicularity tolerance and total axial runout tolerance that is at least one IT tolerance grade better than the diameter tolerance of the associated cylindrical seat.
Shaft seal seat or counterface
Recommendations are provided in the relevant product section. Generally, seal counterfaces should be machined to tolerance class h9 or better and the cylindricity should be to tolerance grade IT5.
Shaft surface roughness
At the sleeve and seal positions, the shaft surface should have a surface roughness Ra ≤ 3,2 μm (125 μin.). Recommendations for the surface roughness of cylindrical bearing seats are provided under Bearings, units and housings and in the SKF catalogue Rolling bearings.
Housing support surface
To maximize bearing service life and prevent deformation of the housing bore, SKF recommends that the flatness of the housing support surface is to tolerance grade IT7 in accordance with ISO 1101:2012. The surface should be finished to a surface roughness Ra ≤ 12,5 μm (500 μin.).

- Brands Yamaha
- Product Code: GPOLL-445
- Availability: 100
Top Features
- Big Bore Engine Designed For Aggressive Trail Riding: Rebuilt for 2019, the Grizzly® EPS brings even more riding excitement without losing an ounce of comfort, thanks to its new 700-class engine with improved midrange power and smooth-running motor mounts.
- High-Performance Ultramatic® Transmission: Yamaha's class-leading transmission combines immediate response with advanced features like natural, all-wheel engine braking for control on confidence. And, of course, the Ultramatic is proven to be the most durable ATV transmission on the market.
- Trail-Ready Chassis: With plenty of ground clearance and adjustable suspension, the Grizzly EPS tackles rough terrain with ease. Beyond the long-travel shocks, wide-arc A-arms and full-body skid plates ensure the Grizzly EPS is ready to keep going when you are.
- Yamaha's Exclusive On-Command® 4WD: Unlike so many 4WD ATV systems on the market that put a computer in charge, the Yamaha On-Command system keeps the rider in charge, with selectable 2WD, 4WD limited-slip, and 4WD with diff. lock modes to ensure the Grizzly EPS delivers power consistently as required.
- Class-Leading Power Steering: Reduced fatigue, excellent control and trail feel all come standard with Grizzly's best in industry speed-sensitive Electric Power Steering (EPS).
New for 2019 Features
- New 700-Class Engine: For 2019, Yamaha's engineers wanted to boost the performance of the big bore Grizzly EPS even further, with more useable power throughout the rev range. At the same time, the new motor features redesigned engine mounts, so despite the increase in performance, it runs even smoother than before.
Capability Features
- High-Performance Ultramatic® Transmission: Grizzly EPS' Ultramatic® transmission features a gated shifter, dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive plus reverse gear, and is the most advanced—and durable—CVT drive system available. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced belt wear and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine braking.
- New Engine Built to Excite: For the trail rider looking for excitement in every ride, the ideal engine should balance big bore power with a strong midrange that gives immediate response. The Grizzly EPS features a potent new 700-class engine for 2019 with optimized torque, power delivery and engine character for aggressive recreational riding.
- Yamaha's Exclusive On-Command 4WD: The three-position On-Command® 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a fully locked differential 4WD all with the simple push of a button. An override button allows engine to reach maximum rpm in full diff lock mode, and a straight driveshaft layout eliminates U-joints for reduced friction, noise, vibration, and maintenance.
- High-Mounted Air Intake: Tackle mud and water thanks to the Grizzly's high-mounted air intake layout. The design increases power and torque while providing additional room for on-board storage and easy, tool-less servicing of the foam air filter.
- Stainless Steel Exhaust: To maintain clean-running performance for years, the Grizzly EPS uses a stainless steel exhaust system and features a screen-type spark arrestor for great power with minimum noise output.
- High-Capacity Radiator: Slow-speed technical riding can place a lot of thermal demands on a liquid-cooled motor, so the Grizzly EPS features a high-capacity radiator with fan assist that delivers plenty of air flow for maximum cooling efficiency—and it's positioned high in the frame for optimal protection.
- Drive System Air Intake: Specially designed, high-mounted drive system air intake helps reduce drive system temperatures and assists in keeping water and debris from entering the drive case.
- High-Performance Tires: Maximizing available traction, the Grizzly EPS features 26-inch, exclusively-designed Maxxis® tires that provide precise steering feel and feedback.
- Four-Wheel Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Powerful and consistent braking comes standard on every Grizzly EPS thanks to four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes with unmatched braking feel.
- Generous Ground Clearance: To handle nearly any terrain with ease, the Grizzly EPS offers an impressive 11.3 inches of maximum ground clearance and full-length composite skid plates, for maximum underbelly protection.
Comfort Features
- Independent Double Wishbone Front and Rear Suspension: Independent double wishbone suspension, with 7.6" of front wheel travel and 9.1" at the rear, provides excellent rider comfort even on the toughest trails, thanks to nitrogen-charged shocks with 5-way adjustable preload.
- Class-Leading Power Steering: Minimize fatigue and attack every corner with Yamaha's Electric Power Steering (EPS), the industry's best balance of electric steering assist and positive trail feedback.
- Underseat Fuel Tank: An optimized 4.76-gallon fuel tank is located under the seat for excellent mass centralization and handling.
- Plush Saddle: A long, plush seat improves rider comfort for extended days exploring every trail, with plenty of room for the rider to move during aggressive riding.
- New Instrument Package: For 2019, the Grizzly EPS receives a new instrument cluster with larger all-LCD readouts for visibility.
Confidence Features
- Aggressive and Durable Styling: Rugged composite front bumper resists scratching and won't rust, while injection-molded fenders and CV joint guards protect against rock and debris damage.
- LED Headlights and Taillight: LED technology uses less power, creates brighter, sharper illumination, and offers lifetime durability. A handlebar-mounted halogen work light provides additional illumination that moves with rider input for excellent visibility.
- Ready for Accessories: The Grizzly EPS was engineered in concert with a range of accessories for perfect fit and function, for nearly every type of ride you can find. With a standard 12V power point, you can keep devices charged, too.
- Extensive Cargo Capacity: Rugged, large-diameter steel cargo racks with durable wrinkle paint finish can pack a total of 308 pounds combined (110 lbs. front, 198 lbs. rear). Three on-board storage compartments keep things secure.
- Work-Ready Tow Capacity: Center-mounted, heavy-duty two-inch receiver comes standard on Grizzly EPS and can tow more than 1300 pounds.

I did all three steps on this cover, pencils, inks and colors.
The idea was to use the Leviathan logo as the main logo for the book and have a beaten and bloodied Batman standing before it, showing the upcoming threat. I wanted a very bright Red background so that it really stands out on the shelves!
I think it turned out well.
This peice is also for sale here!

Sean Penn sat grim-faced at Hugo Chavez's funeral on Friday -- one of a clutch of Hollywood stars who lionized the late Venezuelan leader, in defiance of America's fierce antipathy to his regime.
Following a long tradition of Hollywood liberals, Penn was joined by Oliver Stone, Danny Glover and documentary maker Michael Moore in lauding the charismatic Venezuelan president after his death this week, AFP reported.
Only Penn appears to have made the trip to Caracas for the lavish funeral of Chavez -- who died aged 58 on Tuesday after a long battle with cancer -- but the others made their feelings quite clear.
"JFK" and "Natural Born Killers" director Stone, interviewed Chavez for a 2009 documentary "South of the Border," called him "a great hero to the majority of his people and those who struggle throughout the world.
"Hated by the entrenched classes, Hugo Chavez will live forever in history," he added in a statement released after his death, adding: "My friend, rest finally in a peace long earned."
Glover, a long-time Afro-American activist and star of the "Lethal Weapons" films, praised Hugo Chavez as a "social champion," in a full-page statement issued by his publicist.
"I join with millions of Venezuelans, Latin Americans, Caribbeans (and) freedom-loving people around the world who embraced (him) as a social champion of people-centered democracy," he said.
Penn, wearing a black suit and tie, did not comment publicly at Friday's funeral, where he sat among the crowd of foreign dignitaries paying tribute to the leftist firebrand leader.
But in a statement after Chavez's death he said: "The people of the United States lost a friend it never knew it had. And poor people around the world lost a champion. I lost a friend I was blessed to have."
Their support for Chavez fits into a tradition of actors-turned-activists stretching back to Charlie Chaplin accused of communist sympathies, Jane Fonda in Vietnam, and up to George Clooney, arrested over Sudan last year.
Fonda was dubbed "Hanoi Jane" when she visited north Vietnam during the war there and accused of being anti-American.
Such outspoken political activism is not without its career or commercial risks for the actors or filmmakers involved -- especially when it runs counter to US interests.
"Americans in general want their stars to speak out praising what is right with America," said Steven Ross, a University of Southern California professor and expert on Hollywood's links with politics.
"They don't want to hear Jane Fonda, Sean Penn, Oliver Stone or Danny Glover telling us what is wrong with America or how foreign leaders such as Chavez, for all his limitations, have also furthered the cause of democratic reform."
Ross, author of "Hollywood Left and Right: How Movie Stars Shaped American Politics," said the career costs vary.
He cited examples including Chaplin and Edward G. Robinson, accused of being "premature anti-fascists" after World War II, and Harry Belafonte in the 1950s accused of participating in groups seen as being too far to the left.
More recently celebrities including Penn, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins and others spoke out against the 2003 Iraq war.
"In the case of the latter group, they managed to keep their careers. But Chaplin and Robinson found their careers as stars ended by being accused of Red sympathies."
Despite the risks, some in Hollywood are clearly happy to pin their political colors to the mast -- Penn, speaking before going to Caracas, threw his weight behind Chavez's chosen sucessor Nicolas Maduro.
"Venezuela and its revolution will endure under the proven leadership of Vice President Maduro," who faces elections within 30 days after formally taking over as interim president following Friday's funeral, he said.
Coincidentally, the issue was highlighted in Washington this week, when Republican Senator Rand Paul asked if it would have been right to order a drone strike on Fonda, as he led a nearly 13-hour filibuster in Congress.
"Is objecting to your government or objecting to the policies of your government sympathizing with the enemy?" Paul asked during his symbolic bid to block new CIA chief John Brennan's appointment over the use of drones.
"Some openly were sympathetic. No one will ever forget Jane Fonda swiveling around in North Vietnamese armored guns, and it was despicable.
But he said: "It's one thing if you're going to try her for treason, but are you just going to drop a drone hellfire missile on Jane Fonda?"

Xinyi Lu, former organiser, was remembered at the 2012 Maidenhead Tournament. The tournament was honoured by the presence of both Xinyi's parents and several family friends. 49 players took part in the tournament and it was fitting that it was a Chinese player, Chu Lu 5d, who was the winner. She beat Bei Ge in the final. Also winning three were Mike Charles, 2k, and Dave Storkey, 8k. As usual, thanks to Hitachi who provided lunch as well as the venue, all players with two wins won a prize. Alistair Wall, 2d, won the 13x13 with 3/4 and Awesome Epsom won the team prize with 8/12.

In the comments section of my Avengers vs X-Men classic post, Shatterstar88 (great name) asked, "Can you do a post about who would win in a fight between Dracula (marvel version) and Cable?"
Indeed I can, Shatterstar88, indeed I can.
I like this matchup, because while there's a case to be made on the surface that it would be a blowout either way if you look only at each individual combatant ("He's the Lord of all Vampires!" "He's an uber-powerful mutant messiah!"), once you line them up next to one another you see they've got more than a little bit in common and would counter each other quite nicely.
Both Cable and Dracula usually draw heavily upon their respective battlefield knowledge and fighting experience, given that one is a time traveler who has been fighting in wars since he was a boy and the other is an immortal despot who has led countless campaigns for power and land. Neither guy is a rookie by any means and thus both would be deprived of the chief edge they typically hold in other fights.
Nathan was trained from childhood by Blaquesmith, the Askani and others in forms of fighting that don't even exist as of the 21st century, where this fight would presumably take place (as an aside, young Cable vs Karate Kid would also be badass). Vlad has been around multiple life spans and over the course of such has traveled around the world and become versed in all forms of armed and unarmed fighting. You could argue Cable knows disciplines that Dracula couldn't possibly have learned yet, but you could also contend that Dracula has had more opportunities to hone his skills; I think in terms of pure repertoire, they cancel one another out.
Moving over to powers, both guys have impressive sets of abilities, but also the potential means to counter one another. Dracula has been known to mesmerize his foes, but Cable is a telepath (or possibly a former telepath, but he's still got the mental discipline instilled), so he can probably forget that trick; likewise, Nathan may not be able to use his telepathy (provided he has it in this scenario) since Vlad has had years to build up his mental defenses and generally isn't susceptible to that sort of thing (he got snookered by illusion when he battled MI: 13, but it was mystically generated, and Cable knows jack about magic). It will come down to telepathy and guns against the vampire cocktail of enhanced strength, senses, etc. plus perhaps a sword or two.
What I think it comes down to is that Dracula is primarily a schemer, while Cable is definitively a man of action. Don't get me wrong, Drac is still a force to be reckoned with if you piss him off, but he's much rather remain in the shadows and move chess pieces around than actually engage in fisticuffs. He concocted an elaborate campaign in Vampire State but that fell apart when the variables shifted on him; in the recent Hulk Vs. Dracula, he had to rely on sending others to battle The Hulk for him while he sat back in his castle preparing for the worst. Even in Curse of the Mutants, his temporary undoing—and death—at his son Xarus' hands came about primarily because he was locked into the business of sitting around a big table and doing business rather than getting his hands dirty.
Cable, on the other hand, is all about jumping into the fray when circumstances demand and adapting to the circumstances. He kept himself and Hope alive for years jumping all over the time stream because he remained at least one step ahead of Bishop, but he was also able to engage his enemies when need be and generally has the tools, ruthlessness and cunning to come out on top in a scrap. When he led X-Force, Cable was always front and center, jumping right into the action with his team rather than just directing traffic and letting them wear down the enemy. Nathan knows how to flee and make the circumstances ideal for the battle he wants—see not just his entire last ongoing series but also Messiah Complex as well as Second Coming—but when he's backed into corner, he's often at his best.
So my answer would be that Cable has the slight edge if only because the loose definition of "a fight" implies both guys get tossed into a situation and go at it, meaning Dracula doesn't have time to prepare and create a multi-layered plan. Also, if Drac bites into Nate's neck, there's a decent chance he's getting oil or a techno-organic virus rather than blood, so that's also a disadvantage.
I'd go with Cable by a plasma grenade. I would like to see Victor Gischler write this clash ASAP.

text: NASAs orbiting Swift telescope is in the news again, this time providing a key link between energetic nuclei and active galaxy mergers. The findings come after a survey conducted since 2004 by Swifts Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) of active galactic nuclei. A small percentage of these (less than 1 %) are extremely active, emitting 10 billion times the equivalent solar output. While theories have long posited that galaxy mergers feed and create galactic mass black holes, the observations carried out by Swift catch these monsters switching on in their energetic youth, and thus provide insight into their evolution. Only instruments such as BAT can penetrate the thick layers of gas and dust masking these massive black holes, which emit copious amounts of radiation in the hard x-ray spectrum. In fact, Swift has built the first ever comprehensive all sky survey in hard x-rays, with sensitivity to active galactic nuclei (AGN) 650 million light years distant. In the process, Swift has also uncovered numerous unknown AGN. The picture emerging will no doubt force scientists to rethink galaxy evolution; about 25% of the galaxies that BAT sees are potential close mergers, and 60% of those are destined to merge in the next 1 billion years or so. As we fill in the galaxy family scrapbook, key information will be deduced about how common (or rare) our own Milky Way galaxy is. And yes, our galaxy does harbor a galactic mass black hole of its own! And were also due for a collision of our own with the Andromeda galaxy in about 3 billion years, with the resulting merger tentatively dubbed Milkomeda will whatever we evolve into, (or get replaced by) be blogging then? Imagine the views as the Andromeda closes in!

24 hour Nick Markakis Shirt Trivia Contest
It so nice outside – and the blog that I'm working on will take at least an hour to complete, so I'll save it for another day, and do a quick blog that I can edit easily from my phone. I've decided to give away this Nick Markakis shirt. It's a medium, and I originally bought it for Amy to wear to one of our games during the Opening Week, but it has a small stain on the back. I'm no laundry expert, but a little tide to go should take it right out. Anyway, she's getting a new one, and I'm giving this one away right now!
Here's the front:
The back:
The tags:
The tiny tiny stain:
To win, it's simple:
Get the most points. You earn points by answer questions correctly. The questions can be about anything. Baseball, Ballhawking, Nick Markakis, Me, Random Trivia, etc.
Since most people check my blogs at different times of the day, I decided that it's only fair to leave the contest open for 24 hours. Throughout the next 24 hours, I'll post quick questions from my phone and compile standings from time to time.
Whoever answers correctly first wins. You must comment on this blog to enter. When you answer a question, you MUST put the question number with your answer.
For example: 11. What is my favorite team? You MUST answer: 11. Pittsburgh Pirates
If you don't put the question number, then people's responses will get all jumbled and make it harder for me to sort through to find who's first.
You may think you've answered first, but maybe not – because sometimes I have to approve new commenters' comments. So, a new commenter may answer a question at 5:13pm, and you answer one at 5:14pm – the blog will show you as the first commenter until I approve the other person's comment. At that time, the blog will show the comments in the correct order – with the new commenter winning the question if correct.
Sound confusing? Hopefully not. You may want to look at the comments so you don't waste your time with duplicate answers because whoever is first obviously would get the point.

I hope the questions weren't too hard. I tried to make a lot of them questions that you would only know if you were a long time blog reader, because many baseball trivia questions are so easy to look up quickly via google.

Mark Zuckerberg has revealed his determination to allow under-13s onto Facebook, whatever politicians, regulators and the rest of the grownups say.
Speaking at an education summit in the US, the 27-year-old said the "educational benefits" of his social network made it a must-visit site for everyone old enough to push a mouse.
"My philosophy is that for education you need to start at a really, really young age," the Telegraph reports Zuckerberg as saying.
"Because of the [legal] restrictions we haven't even begun this learning process. If they're lifted then we'd start to learn what works."
He went on to say "This will be a fight we take on at some point." Presumably Zucks is already secure in his right to party.
Zuckerberg is clearly speaking from the heart, and we wonder whether he was hamstrung as a child in his efforts to explore the far reaches of America Online or Compuserve.
However, he faces a number of hurdles in achieving his dream of letting pre-schoolers preserve their dislike of vegetables or informing 12-year-olds that the rest of the class think they stink for digital posterity.
In the UK, the site operates a voluntary agreement not to register under-13-year-olds. But this is just a mirror of US laws aimed at protecting children's digital privacy.
So Zuckerberg will have to convince the US legislature that his site is a suitable destination for the youth - a legislature that is arguably more conservative than the one that enacted the 1998 law.
In the UK, he'll have to convince an array of pressure groups and NGOs that he really has the kids' best interests at heart. Given the site's entanglements with CEOP over the inclusion of a help button, this might be a stretch.
And that's before he tries to convince parents that it's a good idea to appoint Facebook as the backup babysitter.
But just think of the educational benefits. Get the kid signed up at eight and by the time they reach adulthood and are ready to go to college, advertisers will have been fully educated as to their likes and dislikes and will be able to make a pretty good guess as to what kind of consumer they are likely to turn into. ®

Has anyone come up with a good solution for a rear cap for the 6.5 inch Wide Angle Dagor? I recently picked one up that is missing its rear cap. There's not much barrel for a cap to slide onto as it's mounted in an Ilex No. 3. Perhaps a screw in cap could work.
I seem to recall this is an ongoing problem.

It seems that I have the travel bug, as this week's Sepia Saturday theme has me off to Europe again, where we pay a visit to the sunny Mediterranean with a German family on a warm morning during the summer of 1929.
This postcard photo shows two young girls with their mother, apparently about to take a plunge, although the presence of water splashed on the wooden boardwalk suggests that someone has already been swimming. After some deliberation I've decided that was more likely to be the other woman whose face we don't see, and who leans on the towel-festooned railing and gazes off at the view to the right. The would-be swimmers, whose perfectly groomed hair belies any prior frolicking in the water, have just emerged from one of the doors to the wooden changing rooms visible immediately to the left, presumably the one from which a tagged key still protrudes.
I've deciphered the text on the reverse of the postcard as follows:
Viele innige Grüße und Küsse dem lieber guten dunkel Siegfried aus dem schöner Sorrente wo wir auf sommer frische sind
Annta [?] DAISY JACQUY
Sorrente 24/VII 1929
My effort at a translation (with assistance from Google Translate) reads thus:
Many heartfelt greetings and kisses to the dear good dark Siegfried from the beautiful Sorrente where we are on summer break.... although I'd be happy to consider both alternative interpretations of the text and corrections to my translation. The gist of it, I think, is clear.
It's a pity that it hasn't been sent through the post, as an address, stamp and postmark would no doubt have provided more information about the family.

The small town of Sorrento is a popular tourist destination on the southern shores of the Bay of Naples. The glimpses of water in the photograph struck me as looking more like a quiet freshwater lake than the Meditteranean so, not having had the pleasure of visiting Italy, I flew over to have a look courtesy of Google Earth, which I find invaluable for remote research from the Antipodes. The half metre-resolution of the GeoEye satellite imagery used by Google Earth (click on image above) is excellent for a two-dimensional overview.

Google Earth can also be used for a perspective three-dimensional view of the coastline, taken as if it were from a helicopter hovering out at sea. Google Earth uses GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software to drape the satellite image over a wireframe model of the topography (imagine laying a very floppy table cloth over a papier-mâché model), which can then be viewed from any user-defined point and angle.
These three images, all from Panoramio contributers, probably give one a good sense of the modern day tourist experience. Need I say more?

Recipe File: Lemon Bars
Article Digest:
For the last couple days, I had a craving for lemon bars. Lemon bars are sweet lemony cookies that have a gooey top and a shorbread base. Throughout high school I ate a lot of
which are sour lemon hard candies. Perhaps because of this, I like to have my lemon cookies to have a nice and strong lemon flavor. The best recipe for lemon bars I've found is from
Baking Illustrated
. It is also a simple recipe to execute.
Line a 9x13 in. baking pan with parchment paper. The easiest way to do this is to rub some butter on the pan and place a sheet of parchment paper down. Then put some more butter on the parchment paper and place another sheet of parchment paper down perpendicular to the first sheet. This will line all the sides of the pan and not have lemon bars stuck to the side.
In a food processor with steel blade, combine 1-3/4 cups all purpose flour, 2/3 confectioner's sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 3/4 tsp. salt. Pulse a few times to mix. Cut 3/4 cup unsalted butter into 1 inch pieces and add to processor bowl. Process until the flour forms a coarse meal texture (about 12 seconds). Pour the flour mixture into the pan and spread evenly. Using your hands, press down on the flour mixture and compact it evenly to produce a consistent thickness of about 1/4 in. If you like, you can press the mixture up the sides of the pan about 1/2 in., but I don't bother. Refrigerate the crust for thirty minutes to firm it up and then bake at 350°F until golden brown (about 20 minutes).
While the crust is baking, throw together the filling. We'll be using (from left to right) 2/3 cup lemon juice, 1/3 cup whole milk (do not substitute), 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 4 large eggs, 1-1/3 cups granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons all purpose flour, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
Whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, and flour. (Baking Illustrated doesn't integrate the salt at this point - they mix it in with the wet ingredients, but I find it convenient to whisk the salt in with the dry ingredients.)
Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk until well blended. Once the crust is done baking, stir the filling once again to make sure it is well blended. Pour filling onto the still hot crust.
Bake until filling is firm to the touch (about 20 minutes). Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature on a rack. After the lemon bars have cooled, lift the bars out by grasping the free ends of parchment paper and place on a cutting board. Use a pizza wheel or knife, cut into bars. I prefer to cut smaller bars (32 of them) because the filling is quite rich and strong.
If desired, serve with confectioner's sugar liberally sifted over the bars.
Seal uneaten bars in plastic wrap and consume within two days.

I don't know. That's a good question. I'm pretty sure it's not okay to copy the text from someone else's book without permission, but since I executed the recipe from the book and then wrote about how I executed the recipe, it might be a slightly different case. If you look at Baking Illustrated, you'll find the recipe differs ever so slightly because I found it easier to do certain things in a certain order and it still worked. I will have to find out about that - time to send an e-mail to Cook's Illustrated.

So, Cook's wrote back and said it was okay so long as I credit the source and include the correct recipe. If I alter the recipe, it should be clearly stated.

Firstly, I love how you rpesent the recipes - the table format is a unique (to my knowledge), compact and sensible way of presenting recipes.
I have a FANTASTIC version of lemon bars that has whole cranberries added as a top layer. It's like eating sweet & sour condensed milk lemon heaven!

Well, you're half right: "Mere listings of ingredients as in recipes, formulas, compounds or prescriptions are not subject to copyright protection."
However a recipe may still be subject to copyright protections if it is:
"accompanied by a substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when there is a combination of recipes, as in a cookbook."
For futher reference, check the US Copyright Office documentation at:

This seems like a job for patents, not copyrights.
In my layman's view of how intellectual property law works, I imagine that Michael can copyright one particular table (e.g. this one for lemon bars) or patent the system of displaying a recipe in tabular form.
Any actual IP attorneys care to set us straight?

re: metrics
Yes, that's on my things to think about how to do correctly and easily. Without changing how I post articles, I can't think of a simple solution to presenting U.S. and metric sizes. I don't want to burden myself with too much extra work when writing articles because I know that as soon as it stops being fun and becomes a chore, I'll stop writing.
Until I figure it out, use Google Search to perform conversions: "2/3 cup in mL" (sorry, we Americans use volumetric measurements)

Recipes *are* copyrightable under U.S. law. Just like any other literary work.
But, only the description in the recipe can be copyrighted, not the actual recipe itself (i.e. the process itself).
Thus, if you can find a different way to describe the same idea (Mom's Lemon Bars) then you're likely fine. A narrative description of how you went about putting together lemon bars might be enough, as might reproducting the recipe in table form. But who really knows what a judge will decide without caselaw... but given the relatively low creative content of a recipe description and how closely the description is tied to the process itself, there's probably a lot of leeway in how much of the description of the process you can use without it being infringement.

If you like the taste of lemons and enjoy the occasional aperitif, the following recipe might be of interest to you:
Zest of 10 lemons
750 ml. 100-proof vodka
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
Quickly wash the lemons in hot tap water to remove the thin coating of carnauba wax. Remove the zest (yellow part of the rind) from the lemons. Be careful to leave as much of the white pith behind as possible, as it will impart a bitter taste to the finished product. Place the zest in a quart jar that will accommodate a tight fitting lid. Pour the vodka over the zest, tighten the lid, and place in a cool dark place for 14-20 days.
After the allotted time, strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve into another container. The zest should be a pale, washed-out, light yellow. Place the pallid peel in a pan, add the cup of water, then the cup of sugar and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar completely. Strain the resulting simple syrup through a fine mesh sieve into the reserved vodka. Stir. You will end up with slightly more than a quart of lemony goodness. Place the liquid in a suitable container. Limoncello benefits from a period of aging, during which the flavor mellows somewhat.
Yield: approximately one quart (2 servings)
Serve ice-cold directly from the freezer in little jelly jars from Hickory Farms. It is best to make a double batch, since your friends and relatives will probably drink most of what you make, even though when you first brought it out they thought Oh Boy, here we go again! Another weird idea from the Wizard of Odd. But you showed them as they smacked their lips and asked for seconds .
A Simple Solution to The Naked Lemon Dilemma
After making Limoncello, you will end up with at least 10 zestless lemons. There is nothing more pathetic than citrus fruits that have surrendered to apathy, so I suggest the following options after removing the juice from the lemons - either freeze the juice for future use or make homemade lemonade
Classy Lemonade
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1.5 quarts cold water
Combine all ingredients and stir to thoroughly mix. Adjust sugar to taste. Serve over (this is the classy part) fresh-chipped hormone-free Canadian glacial lake ice in a chilled hand-blown lead-free glass with a swizzle stick made from organic free-range union harvested sugarcane. This is especially good topped with a shot of Limoncello.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A women's accessories designer fatally shot a vice president from his former company outside the Empire State Building on Friday, causing a chaotic showdown with police Friday in front of one of the world's best-known landmarks. Police killed the suspect and at least nine others were wounded, some by stray police gunfire, authorities said.
The gunshots rang out on the Fifth Avenue side of the building at around 9 a.m., when pedestrians on their way to work packed sidewalks and merchants were opening their shops.
"People were yelling 'Get down! Get down!", said Marc Engel, an accountant who was on a bus in the area when he heard the shots. "It took about 15 seconds, a lot of 'pop, pop, pop, pop, one shot after the other."
Afterward, he saw the sidewalks littered with the wounded, including one person "dripping enough blood to leave a stream."
Wearing a suit and tie and carrying a briefcase, Jeffrey Johnson wordlessly walked up to the vice president, identified by officials as Steven Ercolino, put a gun to his head and fired three times, according to authorities and witnesses.
"Jeffrey just came from behind two cars, pulled out his gun, put it up to Steve's head and shot him," said Carol Timan, whose daughter, Irene, was walking to Hazan Imports at the time with Ercolino.
Johnson, 58, had traded accusations of harassment when Johnson worked there, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said; law enforcement officials said that Johnson had been angry that Ercolino wasn't promoting his products.
A construction worker who saw the shooting followed Johnson and alerted two police officers, a detail regularly assigned to patrol city landmarks like the 1,454-foot skyscraper since the 9/11 terror attacks, officials said.
There were conflicting accounts about whether Johnson fired at the police officers or just pointed the gun at them.
Kelly initially said the officers were fired upon, but later said police were investigating. Johnson can be seen on video reaching into a bag, pulling out a .45-caliber pistol and pointing it at officers, Kelly said.
The officers drew their weapons and fired 14 rounds, killing Johnson, Kelly said.
"These officers ... had absolutely no choice," Kelly said. "This individual took a gun out very close to them and perhaps fired at them."
Kelly said police may be responsible for some of the injuries because of the limited capacity of the gunman's weapon. Johnson's semi-automatic weapon was equipped to fire at least eight rounds; at least one round was left in the clip, police said. Another loaded magazine was in his briefcase.
Robert Asika, who was shot in the right arm, said he was "100 percent positive" that a police officer had shot him. He also said he saw Johnson fire his gun at the officers.
Asika, 23, sells tickets for the Empire State Building's observatory.
"When I woke up this morning, I didn't even want to go to work," he said. "Something told me not to go to work."
The wounded victims included five women and four men, aged 20 to 56, authorities said.
Ercolino's profile on the business networking site Linkedin identified him as a vice president of sales at Hazan Import Corp. It said he was a graduate of the State University of New York at Oneonta.
A man who answered the phone at Ercolino's home in Warwick, northwest of Manhattan, said he was too distraught to talk.
"He was a good son, that's all I can say," said the man, who didn't give his name.
Hazan Import Corp., imports women's clothing and accessories, according to public records. The business was incorporated in 1975 and lists Ralph Hazan, 61, Leon Hazan,35, and Isaac Hazan. 92, as presidents. Calls to the executives weren't immediately returned
Johnson worked at the company near the building for about six years and was laid off because of downsizing, Kelly said.
Even after he was laid off, Johnson would leave left his Upper East Side apartment building each morning in a suit, and often returned about a half hour later after going to get breakfast at McDonald's, his neighbors said.
"He was always alone," said Gisela Casella, who lived a few floors above him. "I always felt bad. I said 'Doesn't he have a girlfriend?' I never saw him with anybody."
His superintendent, Guillermo Suarez, said he lived alone in a one-bedroom apartment that he was subletting from someone else. He called him a "very likeable guy," who always wore a suit.
At the scene, New Yorkers took to Twitter and the photo-sharing service Instagram to post photos from the bloody sidewalk, just as they had less than two weeks ago when police shot a knife-wielding man on a Saturday night in Times Square. One office worker took an overhead shot of a pool of blood outside the Empire State Building.
"We were just working here and we just heard bang, bang, bang!" said Mohammed Bachchu, 22, of Queens, a worker at a nearby souvenir shop. He said he rushed from the building and saw seven people lying on the ground, covered in blood.
Queens resident Rebecca Fox, 27, said she saw people running down the street and initially thought it was a celebrity sighting, but then saw a woman shot in the foot and a man dead on the ground.
"I was scared and shocked and literally shaking," she said. She said police seemed to appear in seconds. "It was like 'CSI,' but it was real."
Hassam Cissa, 22, of the Bronx, said he saw two bodies on the ground and police applying a white cloth to a man's stomach wound.
Gunshots so close to one of the city's leading tourist attractions immediately prompted fears of terrorism, but federal officials said that wasn't the case, and a guard at skyscraper said it didn't involve the parts of the building where tourists gather to visit the skyscraper.
In 1997, a gunman opened fire on the 86th floor observation deck of the Empire State Building, killing one tourist and wounding six others before fatally shooting himself.
Metal detectors and bag searchers have been standard at the 102-story skyscraper since the 1997 shooting.
Millions of tourists visiting New York ascend its heights to gape over the city from its observation deck, made famous in films such as "Sleepless in Seattle." It was 1933's "King Kong" that showed a giant ape clutching Fay Wray and fending off airplanes atop the tower.
The skyscraper and its observatories remained open throughout the mayhem Friday, the building's owner said.
"This unfortunate event had nothing to do with the Empire State Building and with terrorism," said Anthony Malkin of Malkin Holdings.

Nicole Michelle Maternity's site should reflect a sophisticated taste, with a touch of whimsy. Please refer to the attached logo we just had created by a wonderful designer from 99designs.com! The logo that we chose is the one in the upper left, with the capital N and M.
Other websites to study for layout and aesthetics are:
We enjoy the above sites because they are clean and not offensive to the eye. It is important that the site be professional and easy to navigate. Neiman Marcus and A Pea in the Pod are our two favorites due to their layout on the home page. They have the tabs along the top of the main photo, with additional boxes displaying featured items. Further, on every tab that you open, there is a banner at eye level displaying an offer (ie free shipping). Also, the sites show flash images as the main picture, which is something that we really like, if you need a reference it would be something like http://www.bluefly.com. The flash on their home page of several different pictures.

Best places to snowshoe in Colorado
Simply put, it is the versatility of snowshoes, their ability to put people in places they wouldn't otherwise see at this time of year, that explains much of their growing popularity. Alan Apt of Fort Collins, author of "Snowshoe Routes: Colorado's Front Range," puts it this way: "I think a ...

Last week Oakland residents filled City Hall, and nearly 100 public speakers debunked the myth that the notorious William Bratton would be welcome in Oakland. Public Safety Committee members went so far as to ask if Bratton was too "toxic" for Oakland.
WE NEED YOU, YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, CO-WORKERS, and NEIGHBORS TO HELP KEEP BRATTON and HIS ZERO TOLERANCE POLICING OUT OF OUR CITY!TONIGHT! TUESDAY JANUARY 22, 5:30 pm
Oakland City Hall
Sign up here and fill out a speaker card if you want to voice your opinion at the meeting (agenda item 23). We'll provide talking points to support you, if you need.
(it might be a long meeting, so come through when you can!)
WE DEMAND: Remove William Bratton from the Wasserman contract or reject the contract altogether. Bratton is too toxic for Oakland!
William Bratton is notorious for his implementation of suppression-style policing—stop and frisk, curfews, gang injunctions, aggressive ticketing and harassment— in cities across the country and the world. Targeting people of color, poor people, and young people, his policing methods have led to the displacement and imprisonment of thousands of people, and have left a wake on instability in countless neighborhoods. Bratton is NO GOOD for Oakland.
The City wants to waste $250,000 of its scarce resources on Bratton's consulting even though the City Administrator's report states, "The Chief of Police has firmly and unequivocally stated that racial profiling is wholly unacceptable and clearly prohibited by Department training, policies, and law. The Department is committed to police practices that build community relationships and trust." If the City has a commitment to rejecting these policies, why bring in the guy responsible for popularizing them as an advisor?
Including Bratton in this contract defies common sense. He is slated to work on 3 of 19 activities outlined in the contract, one of which is consulting on a crime reduction strategy. If Chief Jordan and the Council say that they reject racial profiling, stop and frisk and similar zero-tolerance policing practices, why would they spend 60% of the contract's resources on a subcontractor doing 15% of the work to advise them to use policies they have already rejected? It makes no sense.
Last week Oaklanders spoke clearly and tonight we will again. William Bratton and his zero tolerance approaches have no place in our city. Join us tonight to stand in solidarity against zero tolerance policing and send a clear message to the City Council that Oakland rejects William Bratton.

The HA-HF 16 is a semi-automated machine used for the production of fused beads for XRF analysis.
All components of the machine are neatly accommodated on a single stand, and the integrated handling system silently and reliably takes care of all transport routines within the machine.
Sample material (pre-weighed and mixed with fusion flux) is placed into a platinum crucible and inserted into the 16 position input magazine by hand. The crucible is then heated automatically to the set temperature via an HF generator.
It is rocked in an elliptical motion to ensure a homogenous and bubble-free melt. The HA-HF 16 comes with two independent fusion stations for fail-safe operation.
After the fusion process and according to the preselected program, the material is discharged into the casting dish. The melt is cooled with the optional assistance of an air jet for a pre-set length of time.
A suction gripper automatically transports only the intact beads to the output chute where up to 16 beads can be buffered. Information on the process and the status of the HA-HF 16 is displayed on the integrated Siemens touch screen control panel.
Up to 16 password protected programs with customised parameters are available, with settings such as the fusion temperature (up to 1300°C), heating rate, melting and cooling times able to be adjusted by the user.

Last night I headed into the city after a long day with the kids for drinks with a friend for a show, The Heiress on Broadway. This is a show based on the 1880 book by Henry James, Washington Square, a film I saw a decade ago starring Jennifer Jason Leigh. The story has remained etched in my mind all these years about a shy and sheltered daughter of a prominent New Yorker who falls in love with a man with no scruples or real interest in her beyond her wealth. I also remember vividly the film version with Olivia DeHavilland and Montgomery Clift, Read More

Dinosaur Valley State Park to Offer Free Phone App; Local CVB to Give Away iPad to Help Launch
GLEN ROSE, TX—Beginning this Saturday, Oct. 1, people can enhance their experience at one of Texas' oldest landmarks, featuring some of the newest technology: a mobile application for Dinosaur Valley State Park.
Long considered a popular tourist attraction for its well-preserved dinosaur footprints in the Paluxy riverbed inside the 1,500-acre park, Dinosaur Valley State Park will launch a free mobile app for smartphones running on iOS (a.k.a. iPhone) and Android platforms, so that park visitors can have enhanced interpretive tours on site via their cell phones and internet enabled mobile devices, such as iPads.
"One of the current problems we face at our park is that our interpretive displays are somewhat outdated, and our staff is just too limited to offer enough tours to meet all of the public demand," said Shannon Blalock, superintendent at Dinosaur Valley State Park. "Now, this app allows us to provide accurate information that can be continuously updated. And visitors will be able to experience real-time tours whenever they want, at points of interest throughout the park. They'll be able to access video and audio clips, photos and written information right from their phones. We think it will make people's park experience that much better."
In addition, on Saturday, Oct. 15, the park will host a brief "app launch party" in conjunction with National Fossil Day, a part of Earth Science Week and a tradition set by the National Park Service to promote stewardship and awareness of fossils. The park will host a Dino Dig and other activities that day as well.
Throughout the month of October, folks will also be able to register to win a free iPad2 tablet that will be given away by the Glen Rose Convention and Visitor Bureau, a regional tourism council that helps attract visitors to the Glen Rose area, to help kick off the new Dinosaur Valley State Park phone app. Through Oct. 31, registration entries can be dropped off on site at the Friends of Dinosaur Valley State Park Store inside the park, or go to the Glen Rose CVB Web site at http://www.glenrosetexas.net .
Once the free app is downloaded to a mobile device, visitors at the park are alerted to various points of interest as they approach by a phone vibration triggered by the hardware's GPS. Users can then click through for all sorts of detailed information, clips and other options highlighting a specific park feature.
The phone app will also include a "categories" section that will list businesses, restaurants, lodging and other attractions nearby, as well as a "maps" section that can provide turn-by-turn directions on how to get to area attractions en route from Dinosaur Valley State Park.
Dinosaur Valley State Park is the first state park in Texas to utilize such technology, but likely won't be the last, as this program essentially cost the state park nothing to develop. The park's friends group, L.D.L. Friends of Dinosaur Valley, made the initial investment to buy the mobile app, but the community liked the idea so much—combined with the ability to add local businesses as advertisers onto the phone app—they reimbursed the friends group for the purchase price, and invested some of their own dollars. All revenue generated from advertising sales also directly benefits the park's friends group, which helps fund numerous projects within Dinosaur Valley State Park.
Undoubtedly, Dinosaur Valley's phone app will serve as a model for future partnerships.
"Tourism is a huge industry in Glen Rose for such a small town, and the state park is a big part of that," said Billy Huckaby, executive director of the Glen Rose CVB. "This is not only a good way to promote the state park but also all of the other wonderful attractions that we have here in Glen Rose. Tourism is a $23 million industry per year in Glen Rose. This new technology is where everything is headed; it's just exciting to see Dinosaur Valley at the forefront… It kind of brings us from the dinosaurs all the way to the technology age, so to speak. "
To locate the free app, simply search your smartphone's app store and type in "Dinosaur Valley State Park," or "Glen Rose," and download to your device. If you don't have a smartphone, content is still available online, and can be used to help plan people's trip in advance to the state park. To view the phone app Web site, visit https://market.android.com/details?id=com.barz.tourguide.dvsp&feature=search_result
Dinosaur Valley State Park is located just northwest of the town of Glen Rose along the Paluxy River, about an hour's drive southwest of the Fort Worth metro area, and features some 45 water and electric campsites in addition to numerous primitive tent campsites. The park is also a popular destination for mountain bikers. Recent surveys done on site at the park revealed that more than 40 percent of park visitors had smartphone devices.
For more information, contact the park at (254) 897-4588, or visit the state park Web site at http://www.texasstateparks.org/.

Chargers newcomer Derek Cox is more physical than Antoine Cason, but not as quick. Cox is comfortable in both man and zone coverage. He's accustomed to lining up at right cornerback. Aggressive, he often will play or show press coverage against No. 1 receivers. Using his long arms well, Cox can play faster than his so-so speed. Athletic for his position, he's able to track double moves. The quick routes can trouble him. He'll come up and hit, but he can be slow to find the ballcarrier. He can snatch passes.
The Chargers list Cox at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, and he plays that big in coverage. He will provide a physical presence against Broncos jumbos receivers such as Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker.
I rated Cox, the 20th unrestricted free agent as of Tuesday.
Two notable performances last year by Cox, 26, surely gave the Chargers a lot to study:
• In Week 16, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady went after Cox from opening snap and through game's end. All told, Brady sent 12 passes toward receiver Brandon Lloyd with Cox in coverage. Cox won the duel, and the Jaguars nearly pulled the upset. The 12 passes netted five completions for 48 yards and no touchdowns. Cox intercepted a pass in the first half. He also was flagged for pass interference on the game's first play.
The interception came when Cox tracked Lloyd's double-move downfield, turned and snagged Brady's deep pass without safety help. At times, Lloyd (6-0, 190) seemed to weary of Cox's long-armed jams to the upper chest.
• In Week 6, Cox faced the Raiders in Oakland. In his team's narrow defeat, he provided another winning performance, yet not one without second-half lapses. Cox defended four Raiders receivers. In the first half, he pitched a shutout and also intercepted a gift from Carson Palmer, who flipped the ball into traffic as he fell to the ground. Aggressive in run support, Cox wrapped his long arms around tight end Brandon Myers and slammed him to the ground.
In the second half, Oakland's speed advantage troubled Cox. Denarius Moore raced by him for a 17-yard gain. Another speedster, Darrius Heyward-Bey, got by him but dropped a pass. Palmer overthrew rookie wideout Rod Streater in the end zone, with Cox a step behind. Beating Cox in zone coverage, Streater made a leaping catch for 23 yards.
Cox, in sum, has the tools to hold up in a well-coordinated defense and to make timely plays. His size is a bonus in the red zone. He will need to stay in top shape, as he likely can't afford to lose footspeed. Chargers coaches should be excited to work with Cox, who has gaines to made in consistency. The team's assistant special teams coach, Craig Aukerman, was an aide with the Jaguars the last two years.
