And there is no pleasure in saying this. Because he's supposed to be a sweet kid…when he's not flailing his ego about and pissing on the movie version of the tv show that made him.
But it's true. Michael Cera's Paper Heart ate it at Sundance. Touted as one of the most highly anticipated films at the film festival, Paper Heart ended up falling flat. As in critics leaving the theatre laughing at its expense. Twee is the word. Twee is not what Michael Cera had in mind.
How ironic too. Because he exited Joseph Gordon-Levitt's screening similarly dismissively last week. Karmic boomerang, bitch.
But in the end it bodes well for us. Kid, just make the Arrested Development movie. Like what else do you have going for you? Gilligan?

Dir. Lawrence Gordon Clark
The removal of an ancient menhir from a family's back garden unleashes a blood curse upon an unwitting housewife.
This was the seventh and last instalment of A Ghost Story for Christmas to be directed by Gordon Clare, and the first to feature an original story – not an MR James adaptation – in a then contemporary setting. Written specially for television by Clive Exton, Stigma is much more graphic than any of the other Ghost Story for Christmas films and features a bleak and doomful tone that, while perfectly in keeping with the sombre tone of the earlier James adaptations, also echoes Exton's prior work such as Doomwatch (1972) and Survivors (1975–1977).
That the horror plays out within the cosy home of a middle class family enhances the impact. Like all good horror stories it features very ordinary people, mundane even, caught up in an incomprehensibly extraordinary situation. The blending of the ancient (the standing stones) with the then contemporary (the family and their plans for a new lawn) is a striking one. Unlike the other Ghost Story for Christmas films, this one does not feature a stuffy male protagonist ensconced in research and academia, but a modern, middleclass housewife at the centre of the haunting. The question of whether or not the nasty haunting is psychological or not, isn't left unanswered for long. Katherine's body begins to bleed uncontrollably, though she exhibits no wounds. As the bleeding continues and worsens, her sense of desperation and terror is effectively conveyed by actress Kate Binchy. We see her in private moments as she undresses in the bathroom, frantically trying to find the source of the blood. The nudity is presented in a matter of fact way, heightening not only tension, but the vulnerability of the helpless protagonist. This is body-horror at its most primal and terrifying.
It's almost impossible not to view Stigma as an effective menstrual horror piece commenting on the persecution of women. Domestic horror abounds as we see Katherine going about her daily chores and preparing dinner while gradually realising that something is very wrong with her body. Her daughter Verity witnesses her bleeding uncontrollably, a fate that could be said to soon befall the girl when she comes of age. Katherine's fragile body and the wounds wrought upon it appear to mirror what may have happened to the woman whose remains are discovered beneath the menhir. Much later, when Verity has, rather tellingly, painted her nails bright red and suggestively toys with an onion (in folklore onions were used as relics to prevent evil spirits and demons from invading the home, much like garlic is used to repel vampires) she appears much more sure of herself, and her interactions with the virile young labourer who was called in to remove the menhir, have gone beyond mere flirtation.
The family's decision to have the giant stone removed from their garden decries the destruction of ancient sites by the onset of modernisation. The use of standing stones - and the way they appear to encroach upon the lives of the characters - and the haunting, potentially lethal arcane secrets they retain, echoes similar titles such as The Stone Tape (1972), Children of the Stones (a BBC TV series broadcast in the same year as Stigma) and The Owl Service (1969), an Arther Machen-esque tale set in the Welsh countryside and detailing a bloody history repeating itself. Their presence also harks back to the opening of Jacques Tourneur's masterful adaptation of MR James' Casting the Runes, Night of the Demon (1957).
Stigma may have been criticised at the time for moving away from the typical James adaptations, but that it still retains the ability to unsettle is testament to its quiet power. While it may not chill the blood as much as, say, Whistle and I'll Come to You, it still gets under the skin with its unnerving story, hopeless tone and relatable characters.

About a year ago, I started my career in the Federal government. As far as I know, I am the only atheist in my office, and some of the people I work with (including my boss) are VERY expressive about their religious views. I've felt very uncomfortable standing up for myself as an atheist, and even more uncomfortable being constantly (at least a couple of times per week) subjected to religious questions, comments, etc.
These "probes" started with my boss asking me what I want for my unborn son (I'm expecting in a couple of months), then proceeding to tell me, if it was his child, he would want to make sure that his spirit lived on eternally. Other questions/discussions have ranged from relatively harmless ("...you should come play volleyball with my church team...") to complete idiocy ("...in the Old Testament times, people lived to be 400 years old..."). I've also had other co-workers give me a card or a poem for my baby that are religious in nature or that refer to "God's blessings," etc.
While most of the people closest to me know me as an atheist, I feel that, like a person's faith, it is something deeply personal and should stay that way except when in the company of like-minded people or those who can have a rational, unemotional discussion about it. I am irritated by my co-workers'--and more specifically my boss's--assumptions that (a) everyone subscribes to the same world view, and (b) that it is ok to discuss these things in a workplace at all, let alone a Federal workplace. I fear (and not unnecessarily, I don't think) that I will be judged and treated differently if I openly express these concerns.
Looking for a little advice, if anybody has words of wisdom....

A couple of years ago I was called on to settle a Bible based minor argument between two Christians (Catholic and Protestant). Apparently they recognized that I knew the Bible better than either of them.
Somewhat off topic but a twist on your situation. Some years back my ex wife (Jewish atheist) went to help at a flood damaged area. She originally went to work with Red Cross, but left that operation because they were requiring identification from the people they helped (many undocumented folks there) and she wound up working with, of all things the Salvation Army (who helped anyone without asking questions). They all knew she was an atheist and according to her they had plenty of animated discussions, but at no time did it turn ugly.
Try steering the conversation away from religion if brought up. If you're pressed, let him know that you feel that religion is personal and that you'd rather not discuss it in the workplace. I would not let your boss know what religion you are, it is better for your career if you let him make assumptions.
[sigh] Another one, eh?
Seems like I give this advice a lot, but here we go again: get a hold of the Legal Department of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Give them a full layout of what's going on. If this were a privately held company, it would be one thing. IT ISN'T ... and the schmuck laying the holy horse manure on you should damned well know better ... especially considering that what he is doing may very well be actionable.
Point on the curve.
I too worked for the Federal Government until I retired four years ago. I never discussed religion unless asked and it did surprise some of my coworkers when I told them I was an atheist. I was never asked by anyone including supervisors as to my lack of belief. If you feel you are being singled out or discriminated against because of your atheism contact the Inspector General for the agency you work for and file a complaint. Keep records of who, where, and when and what was said and if possible a witness. Many times we go along to get along but no one has the right to harass someone for their belief or their non-belief. Good luck
Your fears are exactly correct, so you have to watch what you say in your workplace. I have the same situations in a small shoe factory now gone global with other markets. You might have to smile and nod a lot.
"Making sure your child's spirit lives on eternally" caught my eyes, and such phrasing is a pet peeve with me. These idiots claim to believe that inside you is a "soul" or "spirit" that lives forever. It is missed by them that YOU are the soul and spirit. As such your time will come to an end and you die. Their Bible says this too, but they want to believe other verses by writers like Saul of Tarsus.
As for Old Testament people living 400 years, it's only logical that they were closer to the "creationist times." Over the millenia powers of "sin" have made us weaker and weaker like adding water to a good wine. Not true, but they believe all this stuff. When you study delusional writings you just get more delusional.
gotta get that cash.. tell em' .. hey, we're here as citizens to make that cash ..
jesus or whatever god thing is not 'king' ... nor any gay or hetero person; they're no kings either.
nobody rules.
but cash is still king baby~
as if infiltration is not an objective of foreign influences through faith based back doors.. how do you think the majority of non citizens get in from dictatorships? in miami at least; mostly through 'end time.. apocalyptica type baptist shadies.. use to be only catholic back doors back back in the 80s... anyhew...
all about that cash. and .. things..~
I'll never understand how people can equate their shitty 'traditional' (they think) actually slave-control social system called religion.. and just to get that little tizzy high that they're all powerful as their flavor of god megh~ federal religion. corporate religion. dirt religion. black religion. white religion. green diets.. and zombies vs humans.. c'mon.. scam games gotta stop. accountability's been here since some populations decided to break from the king's and their druids pffffft
and i can't do fuddy duddy... mainstream... horse manure tv. the second side of the lame and shitty education sys. coin imho. first with bs fairy tales as law provision. and 2nd the crap ass media overflow! ; P
peace! fragmented but freethinking secular jim says cya!
your boss's world view is 'keep everyone under me dumb so i can profit from them' betcha... ~
find a corporate lawyer~ young female one. serious. with activist credentials why not. . . this aint' russia.. yet...
I love being self-employed...
Even when I wasn't, however, I live in a very liberal area (New Haven, CT), and people mostly left this topic alone at work. I agree that that's how it should be.

Kenny Luck is a graduate student at Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and holds a Bachelor's Degree in History/Political Science from the same institution. He writes for The Weekender – an arts and entertainment weekly – and is currently working on his second book. He enjoys recording music, book browsing, and travel. You can visit his website at www.thumbingthroughthoreau.com.
Thumbing Through Thoreau is his debut book.
Q: Thank you for this interview, Kenny. Can you tell us what your latest book, Thumbing Through Thoreau is all about?
My book is a collection of quotations from the American naturalist writer Henry David Thoreau. The book was conceived nearly four years ago, and it was published last month by Tribute Books.
Q: How difficult was it writing your book? Did you ever experience writer's block and, if so, what did you do?
Putting this book together involved hours of tedious library work, information gathering, and research. I never experienced a "block" per se; moreover, I had a clear vision of what I wanted to do. There are moments, I suppose, when you question your purpose. That did happen a few times.
Q: How have your fans embraced your latest novel? Do you have any funny or unusual experiences to share?
Overall, the reception has been positive. The book is available online and has been getting a lot of press which is surprising, considering that this is a quote book from an author who has been dead for over 150 years. I just started doing signings, so there are not any worthwhile examples I could discuss regarding fan reception. However, I hope that there will be soon.
Q: What is your daily writing routine?
Like most busy people, I do not have a set time I put aside for writing. Although I am very committed to the craft, I usually fit it in when I can. Sometimes I will write every day for several weeks, and then I take some time off to catch my breath.
Q: When you put the pen or mouse down, what do you do to relax?
I love reading. I love hiking. I try to do things to stay healthy and active, especially in the summer months. And when I can afford it, I love to travel. To me all of these things are part of integrating a healthy lifestyle.
Q: What book changed your life?
Obviously I would cite Walden; or Life in the Woods by Thoreau. Yet other books like Kerouac's On the Road are illustrative. To be honest, I am drawn more to non-fiction than novels, although there are a lot of great novels I love such as 1984 and Siddhartha.
Q: If someone were to write a book on your life, what would the title be?
As Luck Would Have It: Reflections on a Life Lived
Q: Finish this sentence: "The one thing that I wish people would understand about me is…"
…that, despite my seemingly detached domineer, I am really an optimist at heart.
Thank you for this interview Kenny. I wish you much success on your latest release, Thumbing Through Thoreau!

Obit blames Kansas City Chiefs for man's death
Things have gotten so morbid for the woeful Kansas City Chiefs this season that disgruntled fans are dressing all in black at Arrowhead Stadium. Now a man is literally blaming the team for his death.
Loren G. "Sam" Lickteig's obituary appeared in the Kansas City Star on Sunday and its first sentence certainly raised some eyebrows: "Lickteig passed away on Nov. 14, 2012 of complications from MS and heartbreaking disappointment caused by the Kansas City Chiefs football team."
The 81-year-old man passed away two days after the Chiefs lost to the Steelers on Monday Night Football in overtime. They have now lost seven games in a row.
Lickteig's daughters told WADF-TV that their father - a long-suffering Chiefs fan who had Multiple Sclerosis for three decades -- was just showcasing his sense of humor.
"My dad, he loved the Chiefs, but he was a big prankster," his daughter Diana Hennessey told the station. "He liked his jokes. And he just needed the last laugh."
Lickteig is not the only football fan who took a parting shot at his beloved team in his obituary. Last year, Cincinnati fan Saul Shuller had this to say from his death bead: "Accepting that the end was near, the funny grandfather and great-grandfather said earlier in the day there was an upside to death: at least he wouldn't have to watch another Bengals loss."

Recently, I communicated with a reader of this blog, Mitchell Sawyer, about one of his ancestral families, the Hemingway family, that migrated from South Carolina to Madison County, Mississippi. I first learned about the Mississippi Hemingway family from Mitchell earlier this year when he provided me with name of some of those who are interred at Kirkwood Cemetery near Camden, Mississippi, in Madison County. The name of Henrietta Hemingway, one of Mitchell's ancestors, was among those names, and Mitchell was kind enough to provide the copy of Henrietta that is seen here today.
Although I am not certain, It is likely that the Hemingway family and the family of former Mississippi Governor William McWillie knew each other before they ever left South Carolina. The idea that the two families had a relationship is supported by a family story handed down throughout the generations. According to Mitchell Sawyer, this story relates how McWillie's wife is said to have styled his Hemingway grandmother's hair before her wedding.
The fact that many families living in the Camden, Mississippi area during the mid to late 1800's had lives that were intertwined is not unusual. The community was a small, rural one, fairly close to Kosciusko, but somewhat remote from the larger towns of Yazoo City, Lexington, Greenwood, and Jackson, all miles away. It seems reasonable to assume that children of families who live in close proximity would marry someone who lived nearby. In fact, this assumption follows a cardinal rule of family history research, one that states eligible men and women meet and marry because they know and live near each other. And that was exactly what happened in the case of the families of Camden, Mississippi and numerous other places throughout history.
Starting tomorrow, I hope you will join me here as I tell the story of Mitchell Sawyer's ancestors, the Hemingway Family of South Carolina and Mississippi.

411 West Colorado Boulevard
Pasadena, CA 91105
The Norton Simon Museum is known around the world as one of the most remarkable private art collections ever assembled. Over a thirty-year period 20th-century industrialist Norton Simon (1907-1993) amassed an astonishing collection of European art from the Renaissance to the 20th century and a stellar collection of South and Southeast Asian art spanning 2,000 years.
In 1974, Norton Simon and a reorganized Board of Trustees assumed control of the Pasadena Art Museum, taking up management of its building and incorporating its important collection of 20th-century European and American art with the outstanding collections of the Norton Simon foundations.
Approximately 1,000 works from the permanent collection of 12,000 objects are on view in the Norton Simon Museum's galleries and sculpture garden throughout the year. There are three temporary exhibition spaces within the Museum; the curatorial department mounts three to six exhibitions centered on the collection per year. To extend the impact of these exhibitions and to explore genres and themes within the permanent collection, the Museum offers six to ten free public programs per month, including scholarly lectures and symposia, adult education courses, music and dance performances and hands-on activities for children. Private tours are available by reservation.
Among the most celebrated works are Branchini Madonna, 1427, by Giovanni di Paolo; Madonna and Child with Book, c. 1502-03, by Raphael; Still Life with Lemons, Oranges and a Rose, 1633, by Francisco de Zurbarán; Portrait of a Boy, c. 1655-60, by Rembrandt van Rijn; Mulberry Tree, 1889, by Vincent van Gogh; Little Dancer Aged Fourteen, 1878-81, by Edgar Degas; and Woman with a Book, 1932, by Pablo Picasso. Highlights from the Asian collection include the bronze sculptures Buddha Shakyamuni, c. 550, India: Bihar, Gupta period, and Shiva as King of Dance, c. 1000, India: Tamil Nadu; and the gilt bronze Indra, 13th century, Nepal.

For those who asked about my techniques - pix and commentary
Hey all! Some folks were asking me about my shaping and baking techniques, so here they are.
We're making 2 recipes. Sourdough Rye from Bread Alone, and Basic Sourdough Bread from The Bread Baker's Apprentice. The rye is made from my 100% rye starter named Clyde, the other from a white starter named Gertie, which was seeded with a bit of Clyde's leftover.
I've already made the rye dough, and it's gone through its first ferment. My hand is in the picture for scale.
This makes a HUGE dough ball. The recipe says to divide it in half, but I cut it in 3. I use Reinhart's method for shaping: pat into a rough rectangle, then fold in thirds like a letter, sealing the end against the dough each time.
Next I put them on a well-floured couche, seam side up. I pull up the cloth between them to make little walls. You can see that my couche is too short for 5 loaves, so I added on a tea towl. Make sure you flour it well. I didn't flour it well enough, and it stuck to the end loaf.
After they've proofed, here's how I get the loaf onto the peel. Lay the peel next to the loaf, and pull up on the couche to gently roll the loaf on.
Here's the 3 rye loaves on my Superpeel, slashed and waiting to be baked. I tried using a serrated tomato knife to do the slashing today. Worked fabulously on the rye loaves, terribly on the white ones.
Onto my Fibrament stone, and voila! Here they are all done. I was concerned about not getting enough of a rise out of the white loaves, but you can see by their height that I got a massive oven spring out of them. You can also see the peaks on the second from the left loaf where the tea towel had stuck to it. Ah, well.
I'll open them up tomorrow so you can see the insides.

In recent years, consumer electronic products have seen several new and innovative technologies introduced to tackle the challenge of how users interact with their devices. Voice activation. Motion controls (Wii). Touchscreens. Invisible Mice.
Technology developed primarily as a result of wanting to create a more compact and portable product. The iPhone is perhaps the best example. It has voice activation features, motion controls to determine orientation and, of course, the now famous touchscreen. 99% of computer users still use a mouse & keyboard but most people have had some exposure by now to this type of technology with some type of non-computer device.
Why is this important?
Well, Raph Koster thinks the iPad form factor (or slate) is the future of computing for the average user. I tend to agree with him. It's compact, portable and certainly covers all the needs that my wife, her parents, my parents, and all my siblings need out of computer.
One of the knocks I had about the iPad at release is that for the price, you can buy a cheap laptop. And while I still believe that's true, the trend is that the platform will eclipse PC innovation within the next 5 years. I would argue that it's already eclipsed the innovation, but within 5 years it might actually become the dominant platform of choice among home users.
So by extension this is important for gaming because, in all likelihood, you'll own one of these devices within the next 5 years.
Fighting the 1-2-3s
As we learned with the Wii, providing an alternate way to interact with our gaming devices is a novel and interesting way to breathe new life into them.
If I think about my own frustration with MMO controls, I find that what I don't like most is having to make keystrokes (hotkeys) while simultaneously doing things with my mouse.
Compare that experience to the Wii with it's motion controls. Or with the iPad's on-screen finger controls + motion controls. The controls themselves are not just intuitive, but fun to use. On a personal note, I find them more challenging as well. Something that is "easy" with the twitch of my wrist on a mouse is far harder to accomplish when I need to swing my whole hand or body.
As MMO players, we talk a lot about innovation. We talk a lot about how MMO devs need to break away from the 1-2-3 hotkey mold made popular by Blizzard.
For me, this was a huge part of the appeal with Darkfall. The UI might have been total crap, but the controls as it related to combat were both fun, challenging and innovative. As I've written about in the past, the simple act of killing a monster you need to "aim at" makes the game several factors more difficult than your standard MMO.
Gamers are all about efficiency
I think this is what strikes some gamers wrong about using these newer input devices. The Wii remote is not as easy to use as a Playstation controller.
Using motion controls to drive a car or do just about anything is a bit more challenging on a Wii remote. Some gamers, like myself, enjoy that challenge. Other gamers, like Yahtzee Croshaw from Zero Punctuation can't stand the motion controls because they make them feel like they have to flail around to do the same thing they could have done with the twitch of a finger.
Gamers are competitive and look at the input device as a potential tool to make them more effective. They buy expensive mice with super high DPI ratings and more buttons than your number pad. I know that on a personal note I am very tempted to buy a Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard for that exact reason.
This is a fundamental problem with introducing new controls. One of the games I have for our Wii is Mario Cart. As much as I love the motion controls, you can't get me to use them in that game because it offers a method without the controls. If I were to use the motion controls while playing against someone who wasn't – I would be at a disadvantage. Therefore, I feel like I need to play without motion controls in order to feel competitive.
If you want it to work, it can't be a choice.
It's not a new argument. There are plenty of people who play WoW who would rather play the game without addons. But in order to compete against players WITH addons, they feel compelled to download and install them.
As an addon author, I'm cleary not against addons. However, I can see that point and respect why other devs like CCP would choose not to allow them to exist in their game. Having an interface option where one method is clearly far superior to another method is really no choice at all.

Alfresco Delivers Critical Foundation for Social Content Management with New Enterprise Release
Alfresco Enterprise 3.4 release marries robust new platform capabilities with an enhanced user interface that makes document management and collaboration more social
LONDON and ATLANTA—January 26, 2011 — Alfresco today announced the immediate availability of Alfresco Enterprise 3.4 for download. This significant new release delivers on Alfresco's vision of providing the open platform for social content management by delivering both a more robust content platform for building any kind of content-rich application, along with a more social user-interface for collaboration and document management. This platform will be used by developers and companies to build applications where enterprise content is "social-ready" -- or shared, collaborated on and syndicated across the web – and captured for compliance, retention and control.
Tweet This: @Alfresco Enterprise 3.4 enables enhancements to social content mgmt with new robust enterprise capabilities and new social features in Share http://bit.ly/e1Jclu
Alfresco Enterprise 3.4 is purpose-built for managing content in a social world. Enterprises are increasingly deploying social business systems like Jive, Salesforce.com's Chatter, Lotus Quickr, Drupal and Liferay, among others, in the hopes of making employees more effective. But these social business systems are creating volumes of unmanaged content if left un-checked. Using open standards like CMIS & JSR-168, Alfresco Enterprise 3.4 is a content platform that can co-exist with social business systems to help manage and retain the content created by social business systems.
"The exponential growth of social content created in systems of engagement demands new disciplines for managing its life cycle, storage and ultimate disposition," according to Gartner, Inc., a research and advisory firm. "Like e-mail, which was originally meant to be used once for asynchronous communication and then discarded, social software applications have the potential to create masses of unmanaged content that may become relevant in a future lawsuit or regulatory investigation. Understanding its nature (whether an intermediate work product, a draft or a "place" to share ideas) and its ultimate role (to become a document, possibly even a record subject to formal governance and retention guidelines) is crucial to adopting such systems successfully.*"
"Social Content Management is where the capabilities of social business systems and traditional enterprise content management (ECM) meet," said John Newton, Alfresco CTO. "It is communication and collaboration with a business purpose and it requires a platform that can deliver content for discussion and engagement that then captures the results of that discussion. Alfresco Enterprise 3.4 is that platform – delivered as open source with open standards like CMIS, JSR-168 and RESTful API's -- in order for developers, customers and our partners to manage content and expose repository functionality inside of social business systems."
Key new product capabilities for the Alfresco Enterprise 3.4 release include:
- User-interface enhancements to make document management more social – Alfresco's refreshed Share interface for collaboration and document management now includes status updates (similar to Facebook and Twitter), content activity streams and enhanced search capabilities to make content easier to find.
- Folder-based actions for simple workflow, along with advanced workflow (using jBPM) – Business users can now set-up simple document workflow, such as approvals or content transformations, inside the Share interface. For robust workflow, Alfresco Share now exposes workflows created with standards-based enterprise business process management tools.
- Distributed Content Replication – Native support for content replication allows organizations to run federated content repositories. Key documents can now be replicated to support large geographically dispersed companies, reducing access time, removing single points of failure, and removing the dependency on a single system.
- Collaborative Web Authoring – Alfresco Web Quick Start is a set of best practice templates for building content-rich websites on top of Alfresco Share. Quick Start combines the power of Alfresco Share for web team collaboration, with powerful content process control and publishing services like office-to-web publishing.
- Integration with Enterprise Portals and Social Software – Alfresco now includes a DocLib portlet to enhance its JSR-168 support, which exposes a document library in standards-based portals like Liferay or Red Hat's JBoss Portal. And using CMIS, Alfresco continues to integrate with Drupal, Lotus Quickr and an expanding set of social business systems.
The Alfresco Enterprise 3.4 social content management platform is available now for download. Additional resources on Alfresco's approach, vision and strategy are also available.

Product FAQ's
Why is there indicating and non-indicating Sodasorb?
Many years ago the U.S. Military used indicating Sodasorb but they found that the ingredient used to change the color of the Sodasorb from white to purple gave off a fishy odor. The U.S. Military decided to switch from indicating to non-indicating Sodadorb to resolve this issue. The manufacturer has since fixed the order issue by switching the indicating ingredient.
How would a customer know they need to change the Sodasorb if it's not indicating?
If the customer is using non-indicating Sodasorb then they need to monitor the CO2 level in the chamber with an Analox 5001 Carbon Dioxide Analyzer. If the percentage starts to increase then the sodasorb most likely needs to be changed.
What is the difference between indicating and non-indicating Sodasorb?
Indicating SodaSorb turns purple as the carbon dioxide absorption capacity is depleted.
What is the difference between Sodasorb and Sofnolime?
The chemical composition differs slightly but the application and use is the same. Sodasorb is manufactured by Grace whereas Sofnolime is manufactured by another company.
How long should my Sodasorb last?
In a properly packed and well designed canister, approximately 100 grams of Sodasorb will absorb 15 liters of carbon dioxide before the exit gas exceeds 1% carbon dioxide (CO2). This assumes no significant amount of channeling through the absorbent. Hence, for an eight hour capacity, a canister should hold approximately 1 kilogram of Sodasorb absorbent.
High gas flows may impair the efficiency of CO2 absorption, if caking or decreased wetting of the Sodasorb absorbent occur. When residence time (time of contact between CO2 and absorbent) is less than 1 second, CO2 absorption capacity is greatly reduced.
How much Sodasorb does the canister hold?
The 3.80.1018 canister holds 16.5 lbs of Sodasorb.
Is this safe to use in a low flow anesthesia machine?This configuration of Soda Sorb is not designed to be used in a medical application. Amron sells this product for use in diving rebreathers and for hyperbaric environments.

Accessible Parking on Campus
Visitors and Guests
Accessible parking is available on campus with a valid visitor permit issued by the Department of Parking and Transportation Services. Additional visitor and event parking is available at http://www.ecu.edu/parking/visitors.cfm
Click here for parking maps (PDF)
Accessible parking spaces are indicated by the following symbol:
Faculty, Staff, and Students
Disability Parking Permit Policy
Access to East Carolina University for individuals with disabilities is as essential as it is for any member of the University community. The Disability Parking Permit Application assists the University in determining whether those with physician–documented disabilities are eligible for reasonable parking accommodations. Any individual who falsifies or misrepresents their medical condition or misuses the ECU disability permit will lose parking privileges and may be subject to disciplinary action. Due to the limited availability of parking in specific zones on campus, it is essential that disability parking permits be issued to individuals with a qualifying disability as determined by the ADA Coordinator.
The American with Disabilities Act defines a disability as: A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of an individual.
For the purpose of parking, potential examples of disabilities (as determined by a licensed physician) for which a disability parking permit may be a reasonable accommodation include: 1) An obvious physical disability that results in the need for a wheelchair, brace, walker or other supporting device, and 2) mobility that is severely restricted by pulmonary or cardiovascular disease, debilitating arthritic conditions, orthopedic and neurological conditions. In accordance with NC General Statute 20-37.5, severely restricted indicates the inability to walk 200 feet without assistance or stopping to rest. The restriction should not be for parking purposes only; the limitation should apply equally to activities of daily living including work.
Individuals requesting accessible parking must have a placard or license plate issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. However, the possession of such, does not guarantee approval of accessible parking on campus.
Reasonable accommodations for accessible parking may include the following: 1) the use of campus designated disability spaces, and 2) campus transportation (Transit Authority). Please note that additional time may be required to get to work or school.
Application Review Process
Individuals requesting disability parking accommodations on campus must complete a Disability Parking Permit Application and submit it to The Department for Disability Support Services, 138 Slay, Greenville, NC 27858. Completed applications will be reviewed by the ADA Coordinator.
Please note the following information:
Mobility limitations cited on the disability parking permit application cannot exceed those noted as limitations affecting daily activity, including work.
Applicants with temporary disabilities less than six months in duration (which may include post-surgical applicants, as well as others) will be reviewed and considered on a space availability basis and as individual circumstances warrant.
Due to variations in parking availability and the changing nature of some conditions, East Carolina University reserves the right to review applications annually during the permit renewal period.
Questions about the Disability Parking Application should be addressed to The Department for Disability Support Services ((252) 737-1016).

Kapanen, Handzus is hurt and it could be serious. Esche, Brash and Rathje clears up enough salary but doesn't help VAN scoring loss.Jamie wrote:If Philly wants Bertuzzi, it's gonna have to be more than Trashear and Esche. No guarantee Trashear would resign, and Vancouver will want a player that can put up points to replace the offensive production lost with Bertuzzi. I think Todd Bertuzzi will remain a Canuck for the remainder of the season, then he will be moved in the off season.

About Data Comparisons
A central element in transparency is the reporting of institution data from tests and surveys conducted nationwide among college students and alumni. These include a test of general education skills including critical thinking, reading, writing and math; a survey indicating the level at which students are engaged in the learning process; and a survey on the degree to which students are satisfied with their educational experiences.
Regarding the national surveys in particular, many of the questions pertain to experiences at traditional institutions such as those relating to on-campus facilities. Thus, only those items that have the greatest relevance to distance and online colleges are included. The one survey for which information is currently provided for all participating institutions is the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). The results of this survey provide an estimate of how undergraduates spend their time and what they gain from attending college.
In the charts below, provided in PDF format, results gathered from Excelsior's students is shown in comparison with all students nationwide. Keep in mind that the national data reflects the opinions of students from institutions of all types and sizes, campus-based and distance-learning, and both traditional aged and nontraditional students. Excelsior's students are primarily working adults pursuing their degrees on a part-time basis.

NiGen BioTech's™ "The HCG Solution" Flying Off the Shelf at Walmart After Dr. Oz Show
Feb 21, 2013, 03:07 ET
NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Oz is always at the forefront when it comes to research breakthroughs, so it's no surprise that when he when he featured HCG diets on his show recently, HCG diet products once again became an overnight topic of conversation. Dr. Oz told his audience that while he'd done a feature on HCG diets last year, he'd decided to revisit the topic after some brand new research became available which showed people on an HCG diet lost an average of 13 pounds, 11 of which was fat.
"We were very excited to hear that Dr. Oz had agreed to do another segment on HCG diets, because thousands upon thousands of people swear by them," says Chantelle Daines, spokesperson for NiGen BioTech™, makers of The HCG Solution™, which has been selling like hotcakes at Walmart, Rite Aid, local GNC retailers, and online at www.MyHCGSolution.com (don't try Walgreens or CVS… they don't have it). "Dr. Oz made it very clear that HCG diets are among the most controversial in the industry, yet two of the guest doctors on his show offer them as weight-loss options to their patients, and members of the audience spoke about the success they've had using them."
HCG diets typically involve prescription HCG injections that are designed to help decrease a person's appetite and help them stick to a very low calorie diet (VLCD)… patients are allowed only 500 calories per day. And some claim remarkable results, losing as much as 100 pounds in only a short time. However, Dr. Oz spoke out against the dangers of these VLCDs, cautioning his audience members against following any weight-loss program of less than 1200 calories per day without being under the care of a professional. He also pointed out numerous times that he was talking about the injectable form of HCG. Many companies offer liquid drops that they claim contain minute amounts of the intact HCG hormone, such as products labeled as "homeopathics," and Dr. Oz clearly stated that these HCG drops don't work.
Dr. Amy Heaton, scientific consultant for NiGen BioTech, agrees: "When taken orally, the HCG hormone would be broken down and would never reach the bloodstream intact. That's why we formulated our branded HCG Solution to contain the full spectrum of human chorionic gonadotropin amino acid isolates derived from certified grade raw materials (the very purest materials available), combined with a proprietary extract that's been proven in two clinical trials to reduce the percentage of body fat."
"We are happy to see that the results of the HCG study announced on the Dr. Oz Show in many ways mimic the studies conducted on the key extract in our branded HCG Solution," says Ms. Daines. "The key extract was proven to cause a significant loss in body fat (an average of 14.6%), so study subjects lost not just body weight, but unsightly, unhealthy body fat."
Unlike the HCG drops condemned by Dr. Oz, the fat-burning component of The HCG Solution has been clinically proven. Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, human clinical trials have been published in the literature regarding the weight-loss benefits of the key extract. The first study, published in 2007,(J. E. Oben, et al., 2007) involved individuals of both sexes who were classified as obese (BMI>30 kg/m2). The volunteers received two daily doses in the form of capsules of either the key extract found in The HCG Solution (35 volunteers) or a placebo (33 volunteers) for 6 weeks, and each group consumed 2100 kilocalories/day. The capsules were identical in shape, color, and appearance, and neither the participants nor the researchers were informed as to which capsule each volunteer received. The volunteers' weights were measured after 12 hours of fasting using a Tanita™ scale at baseline and at the 6-week duration of the study.
Results show that after only six weeks of supplementation, The HCG Solution key extract led to a significant weight reduction compared to placebo in the volunteers, which averaged 10.6 lbs compared to baseline. In contrast, the placebo did not yield any significant weight change despite both groups having consumed the same 2100 kilocalorie/day diet. These exciting results enticed investigators to carry out yet another clinical trial to further investigate the weight and fat loss properties of this powerful extract.
In this second randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, published in 2008,(J. E. Oben, et al., 2008) 48 obese and overweight subjects were randomly divided into two equal groups (n=24). No major changes in diet or exercise were suggested to the volunteers. The groups received either the same key extract found in The HCG Solution or a placebo twice daily before meals with 8-10 ounces of water. The capsules were identical in shape, color, and appearance, and neither the participants nor the researchers knew which treatment was administered. During the 10-week study period, subjects were evaluated for body weight, percent body fat, and waist circumference. Body weight and percent body fat were measured using a Tanita™ BC-418 Segmental Body Composition Analyzer/Scale that uses a bio-electrical impedance method for body composition analysis. Waist circumference was measured by soft, non-stretchable plastic tape on the narrowest and the widest parts of the trunk, and the values were averaged.
Of important note, some of the waist circumference values from the original publication (J. E. Oben, et al., 2008) raised questions. Indeed, it was verified by the study author J. Oben that a different technician had carried out select waist measurements that were likely taken at a point lower than the navel, as had been the case for the prior measurements from the previous technician. NiGen BioTech therefore acquired the raw data from the study and excluded measurements from the study volunteers that were conducted by this alternative technician. This led to the removal of one volunteer's data from the placebo group and removal of 6 volunteers' data from The HCG Solution extract group.
After 8 weeks of treatment, the group taking the same key extract found in The HCG Solution had lost a significant 16.3 pounds compared to baseline (p<0.05), which increased to 19.4 pounds by week 10 (p<0.01). These results were also significant compared to placebo. In contrast, no weight changes were significant for the placebo group for the duration of the study.
So if you're interested in trying it, don't settle for substitutes or look-alikes. Be sure that any liquid HCG drops you buy are branded with the trade name The HCG Solution and manufactured by NiGen BioTech. Where can you find it? Don't look for it at Walgreens or CVS... they don't have it. Your best bets are Walmart, Rite Aid, and your local GNC, or direct from the manufacturer at www.MyHCGSolution.com or 1-800-310-8589.

Accounting regulator ICAI has issued show-cause notice to Reebok India's former Chief Financial Officer Vishnu Bhagat regarding alleged fraud at the sportswear maker.
The issue relates to alleged Rs 870-crore (Rs 8.7-billion) financial fraud at the company last year.
"We have issued show-cause notice to Reebok's former CFO Vishnu Bhagat and he has sought time till March 31, 2013 (to reply)," Institute of Chartered Accountants of India President Subodh Kumar Agrawal said here last evening.
The next course of action would be decided after getting the information from Bhagat, he added.
"From what information the (former) CFO gives,
the written information, then if we find there is a case against the auditor. . . then (we will take action)," Agrawal said.
The external auditor for Reebok is N Narasimhan & Co, he said.
Earlier, Reebok India had filed an FIR alleging fraud by its former Managing Director Subhinder Singh Prem and Bhagat. Both of them have denied the charges.
"We are a watchdog not a blood hound. . . We are not an investigating agency, we are not a forensic auditor," said Agrawal, who was elected as ICAI President on Tuesday.
"If there is some failure and we find that the auditor did not work diligently, then we take action against them," he added.
He also stressed that ICAI has taken action against auditors in the Satyam fraud case.

Contract talks have once again stalled between tractor and farm machinery manufacturer Case-New Holland (CNH) and the United Auto Workers (UAW). The latest announcement comes after CNH rejected a union counterproposal six months after the UAW rejected the company's declared final proposal.
At issue is the company's desire to align union worker compensation and health care more closely with the company's many nonunion employees. "Since CNH began discussions with the UAW almost a year ago, we have had one objective in mind: to achieve a contract that is fair and equitable for all parties, enabling us to be competitive in the global marketplace we serve," said CNH chief negotiator Tom Graham. "Our final proposal encompassed the changes needed to begin to bring labor costs at our UAW-represented facilities from double the average cost levels of our other North American manufacturing facilities to an acceptable level."
But John Valko, president of UAW Local 180, said the CNH offer would move workers backward by 40 years on health care, and back to May 1998 on wages. So far, union workers don't appear willing to accept CNH's inflexible terms. That could lead to a long strike and might even end tractor manufacturing in Racine, WI, where Case IH and New Holland tractors are currently made in a newly remodeled facility. Rather than deal with the union, CNH could choose to move its headquarters and manufacturing from Racine to another nonunion location.
In total, approximately 650 of the company's 10,000 North American employees are represented by the UAW, with nearly all union workers at the two manufacturing locations in Racine and Burlington, IA, where backhoe loaders are made. CNH, which is owned by the Italian company Fiat, operates 41 manufacturing centers worldwide, of which 14 are located in North America.

DeKALB – The dreams and memories of two Northern Illinois University students burst forth in the Holmes Student Center Diversions Lounge in a unique two-woman show.
"In Progress" will be presented in the lounge at 7 p.m. daily Nov. 21 through 24. Tickets are $5 and are available at the door.
NIU School of Theatre and Dance seniors Caitlin Cavannaugh and Christie Coran present this two-woman production, a piece of experimental theater based on their poetry. The show explores their four years at NIU and all that goes into being a college student and growing up.
Themes include love, finding your voice, leaving the past behind and taking risks to grow.
Coran and Cavannaugh took each poem and explored it through movement.
"We wanted to experiment with translating the poems from words to movement, to take the spirit of the poem, take away the words, and put that spirit into motion," Coran said.
This is not a typical NIU School of Theatre and Dance production. It is not Shakespeare or Moliere; there is not even a script.
"The show is our exploration of theater itself. Instead of what theater is, we want to explore what theater can be," Cavannaugh said.
The production is also the students' senior Honors Capstone project. All proceeds will fund the students' senior headshots and film reels fund. More information is available by email at email@example.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/events/411509202307809/.

Time for a restructure?
Now that the range of Eee PC models includes a variety of different hardware should we restructure this page so that there are separate sections for each 'family'? The current structure clearly made sense when just the 700 series existed, and possibly when the 900 came alone, but mixing information about somewhat different 901/1000 models in with the rest makes the document hard to follow and potentially causes confusion.
My suggestion for the new structure would be five top level sections headings of 'Introduction', 'News', '700 series', '900' and '901/1000 series', or something like that. Then within each model family section we reproduce roughly the structure of the current document, i.e. a summary of the current state support under Fedora, then specific sections on ACPI, Wifi, etc. Tips and recommendation could go in family specific sections or in a general section, depending on what's most appropriate.
I'm prepared to do the major edits to set up the new document structure myself, but before doing so I obviously want to know whether the other contributors to this page agree with the idea. So, what do you think?
--Hotdog 03:43, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
- Approve I'd love to see some additional testing of everything, too. --Ian Weller 04:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
- Approve Sure, nice idea. Kernel 2.6.27 (with all new stuff for eeepc) is incoming, it's time to clean up this page :) --Carlo Raudino
- Approve Good idea. Go ahead! --Duli
Firefox vs Epiphany
On Fedora 10, powertop reports less idle activity for Firefox than for Epiphany.
Eee Pc page restructure..
Hotdog did the suggest...but NOTHING moved in these months...so I decided to start the work..
- cleaned the page
- removed all the old quirks and tricks
- added new layout for ordering data for series

- I think you removed too much. For example "Screen is off after resume" and the ucview information were worth keeping IMHO. --Rathann 17:39, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
We should always reintegrate it.... it's a wiki so it's easy to get old instructions... the old page was clearly too much confusing and unuseful.. --Carloraudino 19:11, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry for the last updates and reverts...
I was thinking to create a GENERAL netbooks page with all netbooks listed... but after I noticed this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Acer_Aspire_One
so... I reverted all the work, Eee PC page is back..
Maybe we should think to create a NEW page called NETBOOKS with linked Eee PC, Aspire One, etc pages...but firstly we need to enhance the existing eeepc page.... I have an eeepc 701, so I don't know the state of work for other models.. --Carloraudino 22:10, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Great idea. I've already restored the general page -> Netbooks. The next step is to factor out common tips and tricks from particular netbook's pages and put them there. --Rathann 22:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Nice work, I saw your enhancements too.
For example the installation tips (live usb creator links etc) should be stored in netbooks page.
Maybe some hints like window manager replacement, lxde or epiphany are ok for all netbooks...--Carloraudino 22:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

The FC77 Barbed Coupler Flow Control optimizes the
performance of micro sprayers. Eight flow levels are color
coded to match the coding used by many major micro
sprayer manufacturers in their flow rate designations. Flow
rates include 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 20 and 25 GPH. Each is
designed to compliment the type and pattern of the
individual micro sprinklers.
The FC77 incorporates Hendrickson�s patented flow
control system proven on our other flow control
Installation is simple � a barbed fitting connects ei
ther in-line
or at the base connection of 1/4" tubing. To assure long-
term service with minimal maintenance, the FC77 features
a high-strength black ABS plastic housing for chemical
and impact resistance. The flow control itself is made of
flexible polyvinyl chloride.
