BIOREMEDIATING parts washing systems
Industrial maintenance is the broad term for keeping factory equipment running at optimal efficiency. The tasks involved with industrial maintenance are many and include repairs, scheduled maintenance, cleaning, parts replacement and lubrication.
Those in the industrial maintenance field troubleshoot pneumatic, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and computer-controlled systems. Their job is to ensure there is no machine downtime and each piece of equipment is running as efficiently as possible.
When a machine used in manufacturing goes down the implications could be extreme. Some machines, such as an enormous drill used in mining operations, can cost a company millions of dollars a day in lost revenue. One equipment malfunction can be the difference between profit and loss.
Moreover, the cost of running manufacturing equipment can be staggering especially if it is not running at peak efficiency. From labor costs needed to fix breakdowns to the energy required to keep the equipment running, a weak-performing piece of machinery can cost a company hundreds of thousands of dollars within a very short period of time.
The industrial maintenance industry has come to rely on the parts washer to ensure equipment is properly serviced and maintained.
Benefits of Parts Washing for Manufacturing Equipment
Manufacturing equipment is comprised of countless parts. These parts are susceptible to contaminants and debris, which can either shut an entire piece of equipment down or make the running the equipment more costly.
A part washer can be used to thoroughly clean parts of grime and dirt, including oil, grease, carbon, ink, paint and other contaminants.
Because more than one part can be cleaned at the same time production and efficiency are improved. What could take hundreds of man-hours to achieve, part washers can complete in a fraction of the time and more safely.
Industrial Maintenance Getting Greener Thanks to Parts Washers
As the protection of the environment makes its way to the forefront of legislation, industries are working hard to meet and exceed new green regulations.
New and improved part washers are helping the industrial maintenance industry become greener. The new part washers available today use microbes that eat away grease, oil and other containments. While old parts washers produce liquid hazardous waste, these new microbial versions do not.

If you've not yet seen Martin Scorsese's latest visual masterpiece, HUGO, I urge you to check it out–but in 3D. That's right, Mr. "3D wastes my dough" is recommending paying the extra four bucks to put on the lame plastic glasses that make everything darker. Only because finally, I've seen a 3D film that not only works better with the effect, but to me serves as the epitome of what can and should be done with it. Even more than AVATAR.
Quite simply, this is the best use of 3D I've seen yet.
Scorsese said he's been influenced by 3D since he was a little boy after seeing the '50s examples of the format like B'Wana Devil and House of Wax. It shows: he could teach James Cameron a thing or two!
However, there are a couple caveats: First, understand that the previews have little to do with the actual film. It is not a fantasy. Other than a couple dream sequences, the movie mostly takes place in a dreary reality and deals with very real subjects (including a real character).
Second, if you have little kids, this isn't really for them. Not because of any inappropriate language, violence or nudity, but because of the pacing and subject–it's more for kids who appreciate aesthetics, old movies, mechanical things, and would understand its inspirational message. If they're easily bored or looking for the next NARNIA, forget it.
I'll try to keep it brief. Let's get the negatives out of the way first.
- Asa Butterfield turns in a great performance, but as an unlikable, unrepentant snot. Hugo's behavior is often annoying. We're given more than enough reason to sympathize with him, but he acts like such a jerk for so much of the story, I just didn't care about him. He breaks laws and causes pain to others without once apologizing. He's given various gifts, both tangible and not, yet he doesn't offer even a simple "Thank you." (We're shown more than once he has "good manners" so there's no excuse for such behavior.)
- The tragedy he suffers is never really explained. (That which we're shown makes little sense.) Nor is he really shown grieving. It's all a flashback afterthought, which also hurts sympathizing with the character.
- In his initial interaction with Ben Kingsley's character, he remains mostly and unreasonably silent, only as a plot device. Far too contrived (and annoying).
- The time period at first looks like over a hundred years ago, which horses and carriages, then we're shown "Safety Last", the famous Harold Lloyd short, which dates the film to 1923 or later and suddenly we're shown a few cars!
- If you're the sensitive type (like my wife), you'll need several tissues for your eyes.
- Marketing for this film is way off. The initial previews made it look like some wondrous fantasy flick for the Harry Potter or Narnia crowd, which it ain't. And Entertainment Weekly among others ruined one of the big reveals that doesn't come till nearly halfway thru the film! (Not the fault of the film itself, but someone obviously associated with it felt it wasn't a big deal or it wouldn't have been so blatantly revealed, at least not without spoilers.)
- No Joe Pesci or Bobby D. (Which could also be a "pro" depending on your tastes!)
Now for the good stuff:
- Excellent cast: Chloe Grace Moretz, Ben Kingsley, Asa Butterfield, Helen McCroy (looking a bit like Sigourney Weaver) and others turn in typical Scorsese-inspired performances, some worthy of Oscar consideration. And of course, an all-too brief performance of one of my all-time favorites, Christopher "I'll always be Dracula" Lee, makes it a must-see anyway.
- The opening shot alone is worth the extra 3D charge. So is the confrontation between Hugo and the Inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen), the views of the city from the clock, and even Ben Kingsley's end scene.
- Unlike most other 3D films, this was not only shot in 3D, but just when you think you've gotten used to the effect and have forgotten about it, something cool comes along and reminds you in a wonderful, often awe-inspiring way.
- No one gets stabbed in the neck (or anywhere else) with a pen (or anything else)! Any violence is basically implied or mild.
- Not a single "F" word. Nor anything else inappropriate. (The fact that so much emotional power can be conveyed without so much as a "damn" says a lot about the director's abilities–and the laziness of others.)
- A few nods (intentional or not) to Hitchcock and others. Lots of clips of classic silent movies and stars, including some brilliant material on/with Georges Méliés.
- The production design and art direction are simply brilliant. If this doesn't win an Oscar for at least one of those categories, the awards are fixed!
- A strong but not too preachy message of hope, self-reliance and the beauty and power of imagination.
- A rare happy ending! (If you're a stereotypical nihilistic type who thinks the world sucks, sorry. You still have about 80 percent of this century's films at your disposal.)
I really hope Scorsese gets an Academy Award (or five) for this one. He said he made this so his grandkids could finally see one of his films, and I'd love to see him do more like it.
What did you think? What do you think about 3D overall? Let your opinions, good or bad, fly below.
P.S.: Speaking of time, isn't it time for you to finally order a commission? I'll use as little of that resource as possible to get it done and to you before the holidays. Treat yourself or a loved one now! Just ask Craig here.
Excellent article! I really like the way you broke it down for us. I was on the fence about seeing this, but being the film and Marty maven I am, I'm going to go check it out. I think Henry Ford has it on IMAX. Hope you're well my brother.
Best regards,
Glad to see you mentioned Hitchcock. He was brilliant with film noir and could scare the crap out of you with a shadow on the wall. No need for bloody brain pieces splattered all over a wall. As for the 3D effect; it's come a long way in the past decade or so and I enjoy it. It won't make a crappy film better (only good writing and directing can do that); one just has to relax and try not to bring into focus things deliberately made out of focus.
Thanks, you guys. (Nice to hear from you, Joe!)
What struck me as "Hitchcockian" were some of the transitions—focusing on an object in one scene and seamlessly transforming it to another in the next (the drain in PSYCHO comes to mind). AND, I neglected to mention that Marty does a quick cameo! (Even says a couple throwaway lines.)
But keep in mind the "glowing" part of the review was the visuals and the homage to old movies. The "cons" could be off-putting for some.
And hey, if you read this, post back after you've seen it and let me know what you thought!

Microsoft's Format Covenant Fails Comparison Test with Sun's
Tuesday, November 22 2005 @ 11:20 AM CST
Contributed by: updegrove
Views: 7,520
"Microsoft will also be offering this same covenant with respect to the forthcoming specifications for the "Office 12" schema specifications." From a purely legal perspective, it would be desirable to refer to those specifications in the language of the current covenant, but it is reasuring to see that Microsoft has made a public commitment to offer the same commitment for the Office 12 specifications.](4) As with every other type of standard, this type of statement can be tricky. While it is the norm to make an intellectual property rights (IPR) commitment only as to what is essential to be used in order to implement the "required portions of the specification," it may be that there are features, capabilities, or other aspects or code that anyone would want to be able to use on the same free basis if they were going to implement the specification itself. I do not know whether that is an issue in this instance. (5) This is what is often referred to as a "defensive suspension" term, and is neither unusual nor deemed to be unfair. The concept is that someone offering their IPR to the industry for free is entitled to a level litigation playing field if someone turns around and sues them for implementing the same specification. Note that this right only applies when Microsoft or one of its affiliates is threatened. (6) This is standard "lawyer talk," and makes us feel better (especially those that work in large corporations that feel like litigation-magnets). (7) "Estoppel" is a legal doctrine akin to entrapment. In the Rambus litigation, for example, estoppel was raised as a defense by some defendants, who said that Rambus could have spoken up, but didn't, thereby leading them to incur liabilities that could have been avoided if Rambus had been upfront about its IPR. Interestingly enough, for the same reason that implementers might feel nervous about the point that I made in footnote (1), Microsoft may not get much value out of this, since there will be no signed contract between Microsoft and the implementer. Now let's see how the Sun covenant compares: Sun OpenDocument Patent Statement to OASIS Sun irrevocably covenants that, subject solely to the reciprocity requirement described below, (1) it will not seek to enforce any of its enforceable (2) U.S. or foreign patents against any implementation of the Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) v1.0 Specification, or of any subsequent version thereof ("OpenDocument Implementation")(3) in which development Sun participates to the point of incurring an obligation, as defined by the rules of OASIS, to grant (or commit to grant) patent licenses or make equivalent non-assertion covenants. (4) Notwithstanding the commitment above, Sun's covenant shall not apply and Sun makes no assurance, covenant or commitment not to assert or enforce any or all of its patent rights against any individual, corporation or other entity that asserts, threatens or seeks at any time to enforce its own or another party's U.S. or foreign patents or patent rights against any OpenDocument Implementation. (5) This statement is not an assurance either (i) that any of Sun's issued patents cover an OpenDocument Implementation or are enforceable, or (ii) that an OpenDocument Implementation would not infringe patents or other intellectual property rights of any third party. (6) No other rights except those expressly stated in this Patent Statement shall be deemed granted, waived, or received by implication, or estoppel, or otherwise. (7) Similarly, nothing in this statement is intended to relieve Sun of its obligations, if any, under the applicable rules of OASIS. (8) Here's how the Sun covenant measures up: (1) This correlates to my footnote 6 to the Microsoft covenant, but see my comments in footnote 5 below for an important distinction between the two covenants. (2) Only lawyers that live on the other side of the looking glass could make a statement like this. Sun reserves the right to enforce its unenforceable patents? I can't guess why this is in here, but I think it washes out, since by definition, if you were sued by Sun, you need simply point out to the court that the suit was, by definition, groundless. (3) Sun here makes the commitment that I note is not made by Microsoft in my footnotes 2 and 3 above. Note also that the version of the specification to which the covenant applies is on the OASIS Web site, and is therefore not under Sun's control. (4) What this means under the current OASIS IPR policy is that if Sun is part of the process that creates the next version of ODF, it will renew the pledge as respects the new version. If it quits OASIS, or chooses not to participate in the next version, then it's commitment would continue to the existing version, and to those parts of the first version that persist into the new version, but not as to any new material that may be added. Presumably one reason this may have been added is so that if (for example) the members of the revision Technical Committee wished to add a description of a Sun proprietary product to ODF that was not there before, Sun could drop out if it was unwilling to contribute that feature. Of course, by doing so, it would also lose the ability to influence the further evolution of ODF, so there is an offsetting incentive (although not a guaranty) for its continuing participation. (5) This defensive revocation right mirrors that of Microsoft, as noted in my footnote 6 above, but with one important exception: while Microsoft has reserved the right to protect itself, Sun has reserved the right, if it wishes, to be a "patent policeman" that could assist any implementer of ODF. (6) See footnote 6 above. The same comments apply here. (7) See footnote 7 above. Again, the same comments apply here. (8) This language supplies another layer of protection, secured by Sun's membership agreement contract, not present in the Microsoft covenant. Ecma adoption may provide equivalent protection if it adopts the Microsoft formats. It is important to note that both of these covenants suffer from a common failing, which is that, as between the patent owner (Microsoft or Sun) and an actual implementer, there is no well-funded White Knight to swoop in to defend the small ISV. Similarly, there is no commitment to make the same covenant binding on someone that might buy the patent (the same problem relates to standards generally). The upshot is that the Sun covenant is far superior in several important respects to the Microsoft pledge. This raises the question: Why? Certainly, Microsoft must have expected that a comparative analysis like this would be done almost immediately, so it must have had a strong incentive to match the Sun covenant as closely as possible, and it decided not to. Again: Why? There are three possibilities. The first is that it has evil entrapment plans afoot, but I really don't think that is likely to be the case, and certainly not in each instance, since it would be rightly pilloried for doing so. The second is that it hasn't gotten far enough through the knothole to bring itself to go as far as Sun did. The third is that it has made the calculated decision that this is as far as it needs to go to obtain the objective that it is trying to achieve, which is to head off ODF at the pass. Which is it? My guess is that it's a combination of 2 and 3. I'm told by those I know in Microsoft that making such a covenant was a difficult and contentious decision internally, and it would be tough to sell internally more than the absolute minimum necessary to arguably do the job. Will it be enough? We'll find out. But on my review, there's a lot of light standing between the two covenants which will provide plenty for people to talk about. Microsoft knows its customers well, though, and it's the customers ultimately that will say whether Microsoft bet its hand conservatively and still won, or didn't act boldly enough to walk away with the pot. Given that Microsoft has already collected some endorsements from European governments in favor of its formats, backed by the Ecma announcement (its not coincidence that Ecma is a European standards developer), its clear that its already test marketed its bid with its customers. The bid now passes across the table. Who's going to make the next bet?

The following are some of the models that are used for staffing family foundations. Many families use variations on these models or a combination of them. Any of them can be effective, depending on what is important to the family. The two major considerations, and they are linked, are: how much time do family members have to give to the foundation? How much hands-on development and control do family members want? In addition, the geographic location and the expertise or experience of trustees will have a bearing.
Administrator Model
A staff person who works part or full-time and deals primarily with administrative issues. This person might handle correspondence and telephone calls, log in grant requests, track the grant process, arrange for meetings, send letters and grant approvals, make deposits, and reconcile financial records. In an administrator model there is usually a specific office location but the administrator may work for other foundations or may handle other work for a trustee, lawyer, or financial advisor who is related to the foundation. Sometimes administrative staff time is provided on a pro bono basis by one of the trustees.
Strengths: The foundation trustees are freed from routine administrative tasks. Trustees maintain hands-on direction of the foundation.
Possible problems: The administrator needs a clear supervisor and may need help in adjusting to differing board chairs. This model assumes that trustees have the time to provide grant review and leadership themselves.
Consultant Model
In this case, an individual is hired to do specific tasks that recur regularly but are not necessarily ongoing. For instance a consultant might receive grant requests and prepare recommendations for the trustees. Or an individual might be asked to manage financial resources. The consultant is usually paid an hourly or daily rate and may spend extensive time for the foundation during a grant review process twice a year, for instance.
In some foundations, the consultant acts as an executive director, assisting the board in the development of grant focus areas and Requests for Proposals.
Strengths: The cost of ongoing staff and office space is not necessary. It is possible to hire specific expertise on a part-time basis that the foundation could not afford on a full-time basis.
Possible problems: The consultant needs to maintain close contact with trustees and reflect their values and interests in recommendations. The foundation may be less visible without a specific office and an easily accessible person to meet with. Response time to applicants and grantees is frequently delayed because the consultant has other commitments.
Director Model
In this model, a staff person is hired to provide recommendations and oversight in most or all of the foundation's activities. The staff person who is usually, but not necessarily full-time may have the title of Executive Director. The Director oversees any other staff, manages the office, receives and makes program focus and grant recommendations to the board, works with the board chair to develop board agenda, and provides recommendations related to financial resources. This model most closely parallels the role of Executive Directors in independent or non-family foundations.
Strengths: Trustees can provide leadership without the necessity of spending large amounts of time. A professional staff person has time to be aware of opportunities and developments in the community and the field. A non-family executive director may act as a calming influence on volatile family dynamics.
Possible problems: This is the most costly staffing model. The staff person might not accurately reflect the values or interests of the trustees.
Trustee Staff
A trustee may serve a specific staff role on a part-time or a full-time basis. In this model, the trustee usually receives a salary and fulfills the same role a specific staff person might. Any of the above staff roles could be filled by a trustee staff.
Strengths: The trustee staff knows the family and its values and concerns. A trustee staff person may have a longer term commitment.
Possible problems: A trustee staff can be caught up in the family issues and concerns or may be seen as having a point of view or position. It may be harder to develop and implement appropriate accountability measures for trustee staff because of family relationships.

All wars witness the murder of innocent civilians and soldiers who simply "lost it"resulting in the murder-or even massacre- of noncombatants. Staff Sergeant Robert Bales went beserk in Afghanistan and killed sixteen Afghan civilians without any action on their parts to elicit such behavior. His case is winding down and all indications are there will be a guilty verdict. Bales refused to participate in a "sanity board" hearing which makes difficult finding him to be mentaly ill.
The trial will continue, witnesses will be summoned, the evidence will point toward a verdict of GUILTY and then remains the question of -Punishment! In which ways did the war and its brutality impact the mind and thinking of Bales? If it did, then what?

my dryer is not drying the cloths at all. the flame comes on for 7 to 10 seconds and shuts off then never comes back on. took it apart and cleaned it and that didnt help. the dryer is only 3 years old.
I assume you are talking about a gas dryer.. Check the vent for obstructions. There are coils on top of the gas valve that go bad.
yes a gas dryer,sorry. i will check that out thank you
it has a glow plug but i will check and make sure everything is tight.
everything is tight, when i first turn the dryer on it works for about 10 seconds and then the heat shuts off. in order to get it to come back on i have to open the door wait for a couple of mins and then it will work again for a few seconds
took the whole thing apart and clean everything out, didnt help
Sounds like the holding coils are bad. on top of the gv. Sometimes you can hear them chatter
is there any way to check the gv?
if it comes back on after you stop it for a bit, sounds like it's cycing on hi-limit. if coils are bad the igniter will cycle on and off w/o flame. you either have flame problem- dirt/spider/on orfice or the air flow is restricted, either inside the dryer vent or outside vent. pull tube off dryer-good air flow out? run dryer with vent disconnected-caution**CO is present**now ok?
you didn't post your brand or model/serial# but if this is electronic controled the problem may be there.
If your pilot flame keeps going out, chances are you will need to replace the pilot latch assembly, also make sure the vent hood flapper is closing ok and no outside air is blowing in effecting the pilot flame. Thats my guess...
After checking with my appliance repair brother his bet is your holding coil on your gas valve is bad as others have suggested.

I'm not sure how to find where my car is leaking from. It's the hydraulic fan reservoir and it keeps going down. Not sure what to do
deleted due to being totally wrong.....
My book said it uses ATF I have a 2001 Lincoln ls
I even looked it up on all data and a shop thought it was a dual steering pump
I've found tiny leaks in Hydraulic and oil systems by adding what's called Trace.
It's really made for finding leaks in A/C systems.
It's super thin and it's bright red.
Only need a small amount.
I've even found a weeping power steering pump hose by using it.
I used to own a company that repaired machines in factory's and machine shops and often had to find leaking seals and gasket.
Kind of hard to find an oil leak on a beige colored machine using cream water coolant, and light brown oil. The red would show up instantly.
It will also glow under a black light.
Wow I will have to look into that. I've to a few people and they just look at my car and are like what's that? Thank you
Take it to the dealer and they will keep changing parts until it stops leaking or you run out of money. :)
Wow I will have to look into that. I've to a few people and they just look at my car and are like what's that? Thank you
Yes, put some tracer dye in the reservoir. Yes, Lincoln LS' use 2 power steering pumps...one for the actual steering, the other powers the cooling fan. A terrible design. I've had to work on dozens upon dozens of those cars over the years. The jaguar engine is great, but it was a poor match with that particular chassis. It's the same setup used in the thunderbird for a few years. Most leaks on those systems were at the rubber to metal hose crimps, but it's just as likely that the fluid cooler is leaking. They liked to combine coolers in those years (as they do now), and it may be leaking its fluid into another system when under pressure.
This car is one of the reasons I wanted to get out of the dealership's shop...I now work on dump trucks, loaders, and garbage trucks. Much easier!
Hydraulically powered cooling fan? That is a new one for me.....learn something every day....
It was (and is) a bad idea. I never understood why they couldn't accomplish the same thing with an electric fan. It's already a cramped space under the hood on those cars. Yuck. I spent 7 years as a Ford master mechanic and I couldn't take it anymore (working on commission). I made the switch to our municipal garage and I love it.
I just bought it and after reading up on this model year it's the last one to have the hydraulic fan reservoir I can see why. Even a oil change cost more.
New one for me, too. At first I thought the OP was mistaken but I guess it's so. One thing she could look at is to see if anyone in the aftermarket makes an electric fan conversion kit for her model. I suspect there might not be room to mount one but it can't hurt to do a quick look to see if these are available. Then you could just remove that stupid cooling fan hydraulic system from service. What was Lincoln thinking?
I see there is a youtube vid for converting.
I've one mechanical to elec fan conversions, I don't see how this would be any more difficult.

Britain's Prince Charles has taken a very keen interest in the abdication of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
Earlier this week, the 74-year-old Dutch monarch decided to give up the throne after 33 years in favour of her eldest son, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, and Charles - who has been heir-to-the-throne for the majority of his life - is paying a lot of attention to the developments.
A source told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "The prince thinks it is a very interesting decision."
Last year, Charles, 64, spoke of "running out of time" to take the throne.
He said: "Impatient? Me? What a thing to suggest. Yes, of course I am. I'll run out of time soon. I shall have snuffed it if I'm not careful."
However, his mother, Queen Elizabeth, recently announced she has no plans to abdicate as she celebrated her Diamond Jubilee.
She said in a statement: "In this special year, as I dedicate myself anew to your service, I hope that we will all be reminded of the power of togetherness and the convening strength of family, friendship and good neighbourliness.
"I hope also that this jubilee year will be a time to give thanks for the great advances that have been made since 1952 and to look forward to the future with clear head and warm heart as we join together in our celebrations."

why doesn't she just do it -abdicate i mean. she's had a good innings and at 86 cannot do the job justice and more royals have to be drafted in to help.
this is the 21st century- we are just not impressed with her 'on the throne for life' attitude. 99.9 per cent of people have to retire at some stage - and so should she!!
by Pro.Dr.Stella Berry 07th Feb 2013 10:31
It has been traditional for British Monarchs to remain on their thrones until the time of their deaths.
"The king/Queen is dead, long live the King/Queen"
But in this modern day and age, it seems only logical that our beloved Queen Elizabeth II- at 86, might consider stepping down and letting The Prince of Wales fill her shoes.
I am sure she would be very p[leased to retire to her dogs, horses and more rural houses.
Charles is well trained to be King and I would like to see him fulfill his role before he gets much older.
"Long live the King!"

I don't think these are unreasonable for a 2017 device right?
1. Ram:- More ram. It would make it easier to have many application open at once and multitasking would become significantly more efficient. One gigabyte of ram seems reasonable.
2. Multitasking: Downloading while playing a game seems reasonable. Not having to suspend one software to open another also seems cool.
3. Resolution: This is one of the most important spec to improve. 240p is horrid. I am expecting at least QHD display in the next gen.
That is really all for now. I have to play more with the 2DS to see what needs to be improve.

If you're a .NET developer, you know that a lot of what happens with web development can seem like black magic. Much of the grittiness involved with today's complicated web services is masked from your control to make things easier on you and allow you to program faster. The side effect to this is that some aspects of debugging - particularly performance tracing - can be made more difficult.
Glimpse, a Heads-Up Display for .NET development, aims to change that. Glimpse is a mini-dashboard that retrieves the most important details about a request and displays it at the bottom of your page in a modern and intuitive way.
Once the httpModule is enabled, every page you visit while debugging locally will report back with detailed stats about the client request, the server response building, and any ajax requests that are made.
Each of those categories is a clickable element which expands to show additional detail about the page request you just performed. Using this data you can gain valuable insight into which actions are resulting in performance bottlenecks saving you significant time and effort.
You also get another tool with this package called Glimpse Wider. Clicking on the G icon in the lower right of the tool will open up a full width inspector filled with useful data. You can use this console to identify what libraries are being loaded to support your app, inspect additional request details, and much more. My favorite is the Routes inspector which shows you the logic chain which resulted in a successful route match in MVC. This can be a lifesaver for applications with complicated routing rules.
Glimpse is easily installed as a NuGet package, of which many are available to suit the most common project types:
- Glimpse
- Glimpse ASP.NET
- Glimpse MVC2
- Glimpse MVC3
- Glimpse MVC4
- Glimpse ADO
- Glimpse EF 4.3
- Glimpse EF 5
- Glimpse EF 6

|Integrated Voluntary Control of Unsupported Paraplegic Standing

|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|June 2002
The study will investigate the feasibility of using functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the calf muscles of paraplegic subjects to assist in posture stabilisation during standing. We aim to achieve postural stability by combining controlled FES of the lower-limb muscles with the voluntary motor control skills of the intact upper body.
In spinal cord injury (SCI), the paralysed muscles generally retain their ability to contract and electrical stimulation can be used in rehabilitation as a therapy. With functional electrical stimulation (FES) the aim is to restore some normal motor functions such as standing, stepping or cycling. A number of studies have investigated the physiological effects and potential therapeutic benefits of lower-limb FES exercise. These studies have shown that the benefits include restoration of muscle bulk and strength, a reduction in the rate of bone demineralisation, improvements in the range of joint motion, and relaxation of spasm. Standing is an important part of rehabilitation therapy for paraplegic patients, and helps to alleviate some of the secondary effects of paralysis.

Fabulous as usual Kim!
Par Crafty Girl
de OLIVER
Bought the petal print and as usual I was not disappointed. Fit perfectly, I have always had consistent sizing with Kim & Co for the last 14 years, so thank you for that.I am wearing it to my sons grad, it is soft, feminine, the floral print is not bright just perfect colours. Matching it with a soft pink sweater but there are quite a few colours in the flowers and it would be easy to play with. Kim your dresses are always great, from fit, to comfort and to years of wearing! They always wash well and have stood the test of time. I have ones from years ago and they look just as good today!!!
En résumé
Oui, je recommanderais ceci à un ami
I simply love it.....
Par Lori
de Winnipeg, Manitoba
Here comes summer!!! - A great summer dress refreshing colours, fits perfectly, fantastic fabric - no wrinkling so it's good for traveling as well.It's a bit too long, I'm on the short side so just a hem up will do! thanks Shopping Channel!
ready for summer
Par Slinky
de Winnipeg
This is going in my suitcase for a convention. It will look crisp & cool all day. The colors are gorgeous...I was a bit afraid of prints but not this one. I feel alive and elegant in it because it just skims the hips so perfectly. I'll wear it with a black stretch belt & red heels...maybe black beads too. Kim really takes YEARS off a mature woman with her real life styles...YOU GO GIRL!

Armholes too big, dress oversized!
Par K
I bought four of these in the navy petal bouquet print, two in different sizes for myself (3XL and 2XL), one for my daughter and one for my sister (both XL). I carefully chose the sizes based on the size charts for this item. Except for the smaller one I bought for myself, all of them were far too big overall, and all were cut far too low in the armholes, even the smaller one that fit me. At 45-36-48, the 3XL should be my size according to the charts, but I was swimming in it. It honestly looked like a potato sack on me. Given the extreme stretchiness of the fabric, especially since it is one of the selling features of this line, there is absolutely no reason for the armholes to be cut huge like this. The XL, which is two sizes down from what I should wear, actually fit the nicest on the bodice but was a bit too clingy around the waist and hips. My sister and daughter had the same fitting issues with the dress.My suggestion to buyers, at least those with a shape similar to mine, is to go one size down.My suggestion to the manufacturer to make the armholes much smaller. I'm giving it 4 stars despite these issues because it's a very flattering dress in the right size and the fabric and print are lovely for summer.

I had to have it!
Par HOLLY
de TORONTO
I had to get the flowered dress when I saw Julie looking lovely in the dress and blue jacket. I found I looked a bit too curvy in my own size so went one up. Sure - the armholes are big and the skirt is long for me - but they can be altered by any capable seamstress and then the dress is custom made! When you consider the price and how well the dress is made, it is still a bargain!!! And it is made in Canada which is quite wonderful. I am looking forward to enjoying this dress, along with the navy jacket and slim pants on my Italy tour this summer!

Armhole problem!
Par maggie
de newmarket, ontario
I ordered my usual xxxl for the Kim & co. fashions,and although the print is wonderful and the fabric is that 'slinky' great feeling on the skin, I will have to pay to have the armholes made smaller. I'vehad the same problem with two other tops I boughtthis summer from her line, with those I sent themback and re-ordered them in xxl and they're fine b/cluckily they're a looser fit on the body.
pretty, but not for short gals
Par grandma b
de napanee, on
I agree with other reviews that the armholes were to large and showed my bra at the sides, also I am 5'6" and the dress was a length that would require heels to look proper and I wanted something that I could wear with flat sandals. I know that I could have shortened the dress but with the large armholes I still wouldn"t be happy with it so I am returning it.. Love the pattern, (red scarves) and the fabric was nice and light for hot summer wear.

Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami

Very Plain Style
Par CELTIC
Ordered the Petal Bouquet and Red Scarves in my regular size. Size was good but I also (like the previous customer) found the armholes too big so had to return them. Material was nice but found the Style of the dresses too plain for my liking.

Great summer dress
Par Darlene
de Mississauga
I ordered this dress in Bouquet Roses in 3X.The sizing was really good except for the arm holes - slightly too big. I'm not into showing too much of the 'side view'.So it got returned.The fabric is very thin - so definitely a summer day extremely hot day dress and very long. At 5'6" it went well past my knees making me look shorter than I was - didn't like that.Great pattern and hope she does more of those unique patterns....

Economic gloom hits men harder than women: study
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Recessions gripping economies around the world will hit men harder than women as job insecurity threatens an inherent sense of masculinity, damaging mental health, a British researchers said this month.
A study by Cambridge University showed that despite more women than men losing their jobs in Britain due to the credit crunch, men who think they may be fired or made redundant are likely to become more stressed and depressed than women.
As the economic slowdown wears on, the effects of job insecurity will take a greater toll on men's health than that of their female counterparts, the study found.
"In part there is a macho issue about men being the breadwinner," said Dr Brendan Burchell from the University of Cambridge's sociology department, who compiled the study.
"Men, unlike women, have few positive ways of defining themselves outside of the workplace between when they leave school and when they retire."
He said that despite several decades of more equal employment opportunities for men and women, men retain traditional beliefs that their masculinity is threatened if their employment is threatened."
The study cited a Populus poll released earlier this year which showed that women, more than men, say they are worried about the possibility of losing their jobs.
But the Cambridge study found that while men may put on a braver face, job insecurity causes more symptoms of anxiety and depression in men than in women.
Analyzing data from 300 current British employees, combined with a survey of thousands of people by the Economic and Social Research Council charting the effects of social and economic change since 1991, it found that when unemployed men move into insecure jobs, they showed no improvement in psychological health.

roof sheathing with felt atached
hi, im in the process of building a house and was told by somebody about a new product, a roof sheathing with a felt paper like product already attached. anybody heard of it ???
I've heard of Zip Roof. It has a water resistant layer bonded to OSB and doesn't require felt paper under the first roof. It still requires felt paper for subsequent roofs. It also gives you immediate dry-in because you tape the joints and it can be left exposed (after taping) for quite a while which is good for DIYers that might take a while getting shingles on.
Downside is cost. Expect to pay quite a bit more than OSB and a little more than plywood. The tape is pretty pricy.

Biebs Wrote A Song About His Baby Momma Drama
Justin Bieber just can't leave Mariah Yeater alone. Earlier this week, he taunted his self-proclaimed baby mama on Twitter, saying that he's never met her and she's never gonna have him. And now, he fessed up that there may be a song about her on his next album.
Justin's new album Believe comes out in June and he said the album is about some of the personal dramas in his life, including the baby mama claims. He said, "There's a song about that girl that said she was gonna have my baby, Mariah Yeater. There are songs about things I'm going through. I wrote songs about different situations."
But that song may not even make the cut. He said that he's recorded about 40 songs and it's going to be hard to pick out which ones to put on the album because all of them are personal to him.

RI House OKs bill to spur 38 Studios settlements
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Rhode Island House has endorsed legislation designed to encourage out-of-court settlements in the lawsuit against Curt Schilling over the collapse of his video game company.
The House passed the bill 53-16 on Tuesday. The Senate has already passed its own version of the legislation.
The measure aims to shield any defendant that settles in the case from lawsuits from co-defendants over damages for which that co-defendant is found liable.
The former Economic Development Corp. sued the ex-Red Sox pitcher and others after 38 Studios went bankrupt. The agency approved a $75 million loan guarantee for the company. The state is on the hook for some $90 million.
The agency's lawyer says the bill would help maximize any financial recovery.

Quick Look: Battle Bunny for iPhone
I want to believe that Pocket Monkey Games has nowhere to go but up. They started strong with games like Sparta, Champion Archer and Finger Sling (my personal favorite of the lot), and even Swingaling wasn't bad. When you look at the selections beyond Corporate Crackdown, though, most everything devolves into move left / right and kill to survive formula, and not a single one comes close to the quality of Sparta. Battle Bunny falls in the middle of the group. It's not any more exciting than the other offerings, but at least it looks decent and the music is okay. Still, I'm not likely to return to it once this review is over.
Basically the game is you against the weasels, though there is no intro or any sort of explanation as to why this feud is going on. You can run left and right, jump, and use a knife or gun to defend yourself against the enemy. Every action has an onscreen button, and they are all quite responsive. I do wish the gun and jump buttons were flipped, but that's a minor quibble. There are coins to collect that seem to serve no purpose other than collecting them, and a meager 6 Game Center achievements that you can earn. There are leaderboards as well, but I haven't really been compelled to check them to see how I'm doing.
The enemies come at you from both sides, but other than two different types of weapons (which don't seem to serve a functional difference), there is no variety amongst the weasels. As the weasels attack you the screen will start to flash with bloody red borders. The more frequent the flash, the more damaged you are. Visually it's pretty neat, but as a true life meter it's worthless, because it doesn't tell you how many hits until you die. There are land mines which play nice as long as you don't land directly on them, and that's basically it for opposition. My main cause of death is usually misjudging my jump and landing on a mine instead of going over it. In the end, there's just not a whole lot to do in this game.
The graphics aren't bad, especially when it comes to the detailed background, but again there isn't much variety. All the weasels look the same except for the weapons, so your character is the main thing that stands out. Again it's not bad, but not great. The one neat effect besides the blood border is the fact that the weasels do drop their weapon when you hit them. The sound effects are pretty bland, and when you swipe a weasel with your knife it sounds more like you're tearing paper than anything. The music is okay, but it gets repetitive really quickly.
While a conclusion is probably overkill at this point, here goes anyway. The move left or right and attack everything in sight paradigm has been done 100 different ways on the iPhone, and a majority of them are better than this. I've got my fingers and toes crossed that Pocket Monkey Games will rise above their current offerings one of these days, but alas Battle Bunny isn't their salvation. I wish there was at least something that would make me say "you might consider this if…", but that's not even the case. If you don't own any Pocket Monkey Games, get Sparta instead. Otherwise, you should probably look elsewhere.

I started using fly masks on my equines last summer and started with some used ones a friend gave me. They were so effective, the animals would come into the barn to have us put them back on each morning. The one we had for our horse was an old version of the Supermask and I really liked the fake fur trim around the edges which provided a good fit without being tight or confining. So I bought the Supermask II with ears for my horse this year. The XL version of this mask fits my Tennessee Walker well. He accepts it willingly and seems quite comfortable in it. It washes up easily, too.

The chair has four legs… Now, an animal has a one track mind, For instance, the animal is coming after you with the idea of tearing your head off… You put the chair up, and all of a sudden, he has four points of interest. He loses his original train of thought because this agitates him. He can't comprehend those four points of interest, so what he does he attacks the chair. He takes his wrath out on the chair. His mind now had been completely distracted from his original thought: "Eat the man in the white pants."
Lion tamer Dave Hoover, interviewed in Fast, Cheap & Out of Control
It seems to me there are three or four different ways the Department of the Treasury could address the debt ceiling hostage situation.
1. Trillion Dollar Coin
2. Trillion Dollar Gift
3. T-bonds "redeemable at the pleasure of the United States" (i.e. consols).
and since a chair should have 4 legs
4. The 14th Amendment argument
You can read much more about 1 and 2 elsewhere on this site and 4 is more of a shield than a sword (e.g. We're only issuing the TDC because the alternative is violating the Constitution). Its the third option I want to discuss this morning.
My thesis is simple, there's a kind of debt that according to the Department of the Treasury itself shouldn't even be counted as debt under the debt ceiling statute.
The face amount of obligations issued under this chapter and the face amount of obligations whose principal and interest are guaranteed by the United States Government (except guaranteed obligations held by the Secretary of the Treasury) may not be more than…"
The clue that this isn't as iron-clad as is generally assumed is the aside about "whose principal and interest are guaranteed". The face amount of an interest-bearing bond is the sum of principal that is guaranteed repayment at a fixed maturity date. This creates an interesting question, what would happen if interest is guaranteed by Tsy but the principal is not? Arguably, if Tsy issued interest-bearing bonds (discount bonds and T-bills are handled differently) that guarantees interest but not principal, then by the legal arguments Tsy has used in court successfully in nearly a century of tax cases, the obligations created should not count against the debt ceiling.
The term "the face amount of obligations" has never been litigated in court as a public debt issue per se. However, the Department of the Treasury has been in court an awful lot dealing with the face amount of obligations in tax cases (as well as the odd gold devaluation case). For example:
"The essential feature of the debtor-creditor relation is the presence of a fixed maturity date at which time… [the creditor] bound itself to pay on a fixed and certain date the face amount of the instrument together with all accumulated and/or accrued and unpaid interest at the designated rate." (emphasis added) Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. HP Hood & Sons, 141 F. 2d 467, 471 (1st Cir. 1944)
"It was held that the payment at maturity, of the face amount of bonds purchased at a premium, was not a sale or exchange resulting in a capital loss." Hale v. Helvering, 85 F.2d 819, 822 (DC Cir. 1936)
"The Treasurer refused to comply with that demand, but offered payment of the face amount of the principal in legal tender coin or currency other than gold or gold certificates. Petitioner declined to accept the tender and retained the bond." Smyth v. United States 302 US 329, 351 (1937)
"In common parlance the bonded indebtedness of a corporation imports the total face of its outstanding bonds, — the amount which must be paid at their maturity. The phrase is not generally used to connote par plus an unreturned proportion of premium. And as respects "interest," the usual import of the term is the amount which one has contracted to pay for the use of borrowed money… We cannot believe that Congress used the word having in mind any concept other than the usual, ordinary and everyday meaning of the term." Old Colony R. Co. v. Commissioner, 284 US 552, 561 (1932)
I could go with the cites but, I'll just state the matter plainly— I cannot believe that Congress used the words "face amount of obligations" having in mind any concept than the usual, ordinary and everyday meaning of the term.
So if Tsy engaged in some do-it-yourself bond stripping and issued a bond that only guaranteed interest, there'd be no maturity date; which means there'd be no face amount of principal; which means there'd be no additional public debt subject to limit. And that's a good place for Tsy to be. If a bond with no maturity date sounds familiar…
"We note that there have been other debt instruments having no maturity date. One of the best known is the English consol, a bond issued without maturity and perpetually outstanding. The total value of these bonds issued and outstanding is not known but it certainly was very substantial. It is true that these bonds regularly paid interest, but their principal never became due and payable (unless they were called). The United States issued consols having no maturity to finance the Panama Canal. These bonds were eventually called."
In re Wabash Valley Power Ass'n, 72 F.3d 1305, 1323 (7th Cir.1995).
That's not precisely true, the Panama Canal bonds mostly matured after 30 years (and in the case of the 1911 series, 50 years). The Court has them confused with the 2% gold Consols of 1930. You can't fault a late 20th Century Court for the confusion. Even while the bonds were still outstanding, their terms were hard to keep straight. The Federal Reserve Bulletin listed the Consols as as PAYABLE (Tsy duty to pay) in 1930, when actually they were REDEEMABLE (Tsy option to pay) in 1930 with no payable date. That's a pretty big difference. Of course that was Federal Reserve Bulletin, Volume 2 (1916). I'd wager the Fed has tightened up a bit since then.
The Consols of 1930 were issued in 1900 to consolidate (thus, "Consols") several older high interest bond series. They were later redeemed by Tsy along with Panama Canal bonds when FDR took us off the domestic gold standard. Even if they were still outstanding, both would be exempt from the debt limit in any event because they were issued prior to 1917. The Consols' length term was described as "indefinite". There was no maturity date– the 1930 refers to the date after which Tsy had the option (but not the obligation!) to redeem the bonds. No maturity date meant there was no face amount. Likewise, if Tsy began issue the Consols of 2143 (and 2144, 2145, etc.) series, there'd be no face amount of principal adding to the public debt limit subject to limit. The debt limit would then go the way of the gold standard, kicked to the curb by executive action. Everything I know of the man tells me FDR would approve.
The Gold Standard Act of 1900 which gave the Secretary this perpetual bonding power was actually more restrictive than the bonding power the Secretary has today under 31 USC 3104 (as you'd expect with something called the "Gold Standard Act"). However in both bond statutes, there are no time restrictions on when or IF the bonds must mature. The two important deal terms in the Consols of 1930 were:
"Length of loan, indefinite."
"and is redeemable at the pleasure of the United States after the first day of April, 1930"
As for which of the options listed above Tsy should use to deal with the debt ceiling hostage situation, I'd go with the plan with the fewest moving parts. Issuing consols would be a textbook example of a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It may be a good idea on its on terms (and it probably is) but Tsy shouldn't be making that call with its back against the wall. So what I'd suggest is, while everyone is jibber-jabbing about the trillion dollar coin or the 14th Amendment, Tsy should quietly arrange for the Fed to run with the trillion dollar gift.


text: Peter Capaldi is a "charming silver fox" says Doctor Who guest star Foxes The pop star also reveals that she was more interested in singing in the show rather than acting Comments Written By Stephen Kelly 1:33 PM, 01 August 2014 Peter Capaldi may have ruled out any "flirting" in Doctor Who series eight but no one appears to have told guest star Foxes, who seems rather taken with the 12th Doctor. The pop singer, real name is Louisa Allen, has been talking about her time filming in the show, in which she will be performing a song. "I know I'm biased but I like that he's a charming silver fox," she said. "Sod it, he was lovely."Foxes also revealed that she would not have been interested in the role if it did not involve singing, telling the Daily Star that, "It's more singing than acting, that's why I'm doing it. Acting isn't something I thought I would get into." The pop star, who has scored several top ten hits this year with the dance-pop tracks Let Go For Tonight and Holding On To Heaven, will be one of several celebrities to cameo in Capaldi's debut series, which also includes appearances from Frank Skinner and Keeley Hawes. Explaining how the guest appearance came to be, she said earlier this year "It all came about from a chance meeting. I was playing a gig and got chatting to the show's production team. I was telling them how much I loved Doctor Who and next thing they invited me to be on it!" Showrunner Steven Moffat has also said that he's "thrilled" about Foxes appearance on the series, but has kept details of the episode under wraps."We are completely thrilled that the amazingly talented Foxes is joining us on board," he said. "Let's just say, the Doctor is finally catching up on his phone calls." Doctor Who returns with series eight opener Deep Breath on August 23. Like this? Share it.

Attic pull down stairs
Inspector requires that the plywood cover to the pull down garage stairs be covered with 5/8 in dry wall...which is 54 in by 25 inch...most likely that this additional weight will prevent cover to close flush to ceiling and may allow a gap or even keep it from closing altogether...Is the spring tension system going to be enough to tack up the slack ?
it might. you may need different springs or a latch.
rarely see pull down attic stairs covered with drywall.
Paint the plywood white or what ever color the ceiling is.
are the stairs in the garage?
put the drywall up. when he leaves, take it down.
^ the do it to make the inspector happy way. been there done that.
how about extra 3/4" foam board on the top side of the door cut to fit in between the steps and tacked to the top side of the plywood door or maybe light weight drywall if you can find it...
Be really easy to check after a fire to see wrong drywall (light-weight vs. Type-X) let the garage fire into your house attic. The attic spaces should be separated; if not at the access. Foamboard may require an ignition barrier, check locally. Keep up on your H.O. Insurance...
just replaced old rickety wood pull-down steps/folding ladder in garage w/alum pre-built which came faced w/paint ready 1/4" ply - never thought of having this work permitted OR inspected,,, garage ceiling has original 1/2" drywall ceiling - is it a new rqmt to cover stairway ply facing w/drywall 1/2" or 5/8 " ?
I'd check locally. Depends on who in charge is interpreting which code. 5/8 required with living space above ceiling. The attics may/not be connected. Sometimes a garage common truss is backed/drywalled in the attic to limit the amount/cost of drywall required on walls/ceiling with attached garage. Atlanta is under the IBC; http://www.reedconstructiondata.com/...codes/georgia/
A lot harder to find than in the IRC; http://publicecodes.citation.com/ico...2009/index.htm

Detailed Accident Report
Submitted By: Craig Gordon, UAC
Place: Seeley Canyon; Wasatch Plateau
State: UT
Country: USA
Summary: Snowmobiler survives hour long burial
2242 West North Temple, SLC, UT 84116 t: (801) 524-5304 f: (801)
524-4030 e: email@example.com
Investigation completed by: Craig Gordon, Avalanche Forecaster, FS Utah
Avalanche Center, Salt Lake City, Utah
Date of Investigation: March 24, 2001
I. General Information
1. Date of accident: March 24, 2001
2. Time of Accident: Approximately 11:05
3. Exact Location: Seeley Canyon; Wasatch Plateau
4. Fatalities: 0
Victim: Jeff Braithwaite, 38 years old.
5. Eyewitnesses: Relatives
6. Damage to vehicles, building, lifts, etc.: None
I. Accident Summary
A party of 5 snowmobilers left the Miller Flat Trailhead and headed
south towards Seeley Canyon. Two snowmobilers, Jeff Braithwaite and his
son, were ?high-marking? a slope. The son was about mid slope and the
father above him when the slide released. The son was able to outrun the
slide, but his father was caught and buried. The son remained at the
scene and began probing, while the other three party members returned to
the trailhead to retrieve shovels and notify Search and Rescue with a
cell phone. An outsider, who was equipped with a beacon, shovel, and
probe, and knew the terrain well, overheard the commotion and raced to
the scene. Upon arriving he questioned the son as to the areas he had
probed and began probing in the opposite direction. At that point
additional searchers arrived on the scene and they began to organize a
hasty search. Someone thought they heard a voice from underneath the
partially buried sled. They began moving the debris from around the sled
and discovered the buried rider. Jeff was buried for an hour, was very
cold, had sustained minor injuries to his shoulder and leg, and was
flown from the scene.
II. Weather and Snowpack Data
This winter the snowpack on the Wasatch Plateau has been unusually thin
and weak. An initial stormy period in early November created an early
season snowpack which subsequently weakened during long spells of clear
weather in early December, late December, and in early January. Although
the region did experience a good slide cycle in mid December, a weather
pattern characterized by small storms did not produce another widespread
avalanche cycle to really clean things out. Throughout the season our
advisories have hovered in the MODERATE and CONSIDERABLE ranges,
occasionally bumping into the HIGH category. Warm temperatures, cloudy
skies, and marginal refreezes for 4 nights prior to this accident had a
dramatically weakened the snowpack. Conditions were barely supportable
on March 23 below 9,800? on all aspects. Stability test in the snowpack
at this elevation failed while isolating the column. A solid, but
short-lived refreeze on the night of the 23rd did provide supportable
conditions until about 11:30 am on the 24th. The advisory issued for the
day of the incident described a generally LOW hazard in the morning,
increasing to MODERATE on all aspects steeper than 35 degrees as the day
progressed. A CONSIDERABLE hazard was given to areas with a weak,
shallow snowpack.
III. Avalanche Data
1. Type of slide(s) (classification): HS-3-AS
2. Dimensions width: 500?
vertical: Approx. 600?
3. Crown height: Averaging 3?
4. Debris width: 750?
length: 250?
depth: 12-15? at its deepest
5. Other comments: The run out was a low angle bench.
IV. Terrain Data
1. Elevation at the crown: 10,000?
at toe: 9,400?
2. Aspect: ENE
3. Slope angle in degrees, starting zone: 40 degrees
toe of debris:
1. Alpha angle from toe to starting zone:
2. Vegetative cover (open, timbered, etc.): Sparsely timbered.
3. Shape of path (open slope, gully, etc.): Open slope with a couple of
trees in the middle of the path; the bed surface was a rock slab.
V. Conclusions and Recommendations
This slide ran close to the ground on the faceted snow developed early
in the season. Visible clues to instability, such as glide cracks and
roller balls, were apparent on the slope adjacent to the slide. It is
very unusual for an avalanche victim to be recovered alive after being
buried for a hour. Very likely, an air pocket was created by the
snowmobile. He was not wearing a beacon, though his son did have a
probe. Rather then keeping everyone at the scene to assist in the
rescue, the bulk of the party exited to gather gear and additional
assistance. This was about a 14 mile round trip.

Tennis Swings into Action
College Tennis
Rider Opens at Fairfield Today
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. -- The Rider University men's and women's tennis team jump starts its season this afternoon, traveling to Connecticut to take on Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Fairfield at 2 p.m.
Both the Stag men and women placed runner-up in the MAAC during the 2012-13 season.
The men's side is a mix of experience and youth, with the Broncs adding five freshmen to the roster while returning four seniors.
Rider will be led by senior Rollie Malfitano (Wenonah/Gloucester Catholic), a three-year letterwinner who enters this season as a 63-match veteran.
For the women, Rider returns five juniors and one senior, giving the Broncs experience on the courts this season to help the two freshmen added to the roster.
The Broncs will look towards junior Michelle Caravaglio (Manalapan/Freehold) to lead the way this year. As a sophomore, Caravaglio had four wins in singles competition.
Rider opened up last season, also against Fairfield, with both sides losing 7-0.
The women come home to play Manhattan on Saturday, September 14 at 12 p.m. The men's team opens at home on Wednesday, September 18 when they host Rutgers (Camden) at 3:30 p.m.

As I found when traveling the country with the legendary NFL commentator John Madden, football fans bring the same enthusiasm to tailgates that they do to kickoffs. Among the cooks that Madden and I met were plumbers, housewives, teachers and retired army sergeants who had so much natural talent that they instantly stood out from their parking-lot peers. We met folks who cooked on the hood of an old car they'd towed to the stadium--they'd removed the motor and transformed the engine compartment into a king-size Weber Kettle--and we discovered one group of fans who'd converted the drum of a washing machine into a grill.
Most people, it seems, share a single opinion about tailgating: they like it. And that includes some of the best cooks I know. When I decided to arrange a tailgate with some top New York City chefs, it took only about 20 minutes to put together a team: Charlie Palmer of Aureole, Michael Lomonaco of Windows on the World, Tom Valenti of Butterfield 81 and Alan Harding of Patois.
Our tailgate, like all tailgates, turned into a pull-out-all-the-stops party. Maybe somewhere in America someone has figured out a way to have more fun at mealtime, but after logging 20,000 miles on the road last season, I never found anything like it.

Hometown girl returns to Connellsville to perform concert
It has been one year since singer and recording artist Cait Cuneo started her career as a solo act. This journey, which started in Connellsville, included recording her first album, touring through several major cities and performing a sold-out CD release concert in Pittsburgh.
She returns home to celebrate with her band on June 29 at the Edwin S. Porter Theater, located in the Connellsville Community Center. This show will be held to benefit the Connellsville Recreation Board.
"This concert has been one year in the making. We are fortunate to have this beautiful venue in Connellsville," Cait Cuneo said. She has been asked many times when she would be performing in her hometown. Even after her extensive traveling, she still repeats the motto, "Never forget where you are from." After thorough planning with the Connellsville Recreation Board, the local community will have the rare opportunity to see the singer and her eight-person band with whom she is sharing her excitement for the concert.
Cuneo released her CD "Violet" in December of last year and has been receiving great feedback from critics, listeners and fans all over the map. Her manager, guitarist and brother Vince said, "We didn't sell a million copies, but when I mailed a copy of 'Violet' to Brazil, I saw the bigger picture. Cait's goal is to spread her music and positive message to listeners worldwide."
"It has been rewarding to see her grow as an artist in such short time. This isn't an easy thing," said their mother, Gayle Cuneo, who has been at every one of her daughter's performances.
"I hope that the whole town comes out to listen and enjoy," she added. During her time off the road, Cuneo has made a point to spread her message beyond music venues. She has been traveling to local schools to speak to students about following their dreams, working hard and staying positive. Most recently, she spoke and sang to a young women's support group. In her speech, she spoke about overcoming hardships and her personal journey as a female in the professional world. After singing her theme, "Working Hard," she said, "I wrote this song when I was 15 years old, but the message still holds true to this day."
Whether singing to five or 500 people, Cuneo takes every performance very seriously.
She and her band have been gearing up for the concert at the Porter Theater and plan to bring a performance the audience won't soon forget. "An attendee at a recent performance told me that Cait's music is for all listeners. I expect to see people of all ages at the show," Vince Cuneo said.
There is limited seating for this one-time event, so it is recommended to buy tickets before the day of the show. Cuneo will be doing a meet-and-greet session after the show, where you can purchase her CD and T-shirts.
Tickets can be purchased now at Atkins Music Center and Artworks Connellsville. General admission tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students.
Doors open at 6:45 p.m., and the show starts promptly at 8 p.m.
"The rec board is so grateful that Cait has found the time on her busy schedule to do a hometown show at our beautiful Porter Theater. She will be such an inspiration to our kids in the community, too. It will show them that if you work hard, your dreams can come true," said Greg Lincoln, recreational board member.
"After some great shows, including NYC and Philly, I am returning home to Connellsville to do a benefit performance at the newly restored Porter Theater. I am excited to finally share what I have been working so hard on with friends and family. This 800-person theater is the perfect venue for this benefit show for the Connellsville Recreation Board. The hometown support has made this project a reality, and I want to give back all the love you've shown me. I cannot wait to see you, Connellsville," Cait Cuneo said.
