American Wood Council makes this very neat load calculator if you, like me, want to stop worrying if your new tv mount with a 1 foot arm is about to tear itself out of the wall because you needed to use shorter lag bolts to avoid going through concrete behind the stud.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.
