"The poll numbers are showing some movement. But you know I've always thought this was going to be a very close race in Ohio," he told reporters on Tuesday.
Portman is a leading Romney surrogate and a top adviser to his campaign. Portman is also playing the role of Obama in Romney's debate preparations. Asked if Romney is sensing enthusiasm, Portman said, "Yeah, I think so."
But earlier Tuesday, Romney campaign spokesman Kevin Madden cautioned that "this is a campaign that's never gotten too high when things are good, too low when things are bad," adding that "we still believe that this is going to be a campaign that's very close."
Polls show a similar bounce in other battlegrounds.
A new ARG poll in Colorado indicates Romney with a 50 percent-46 percent advantage. That's a switch from last month, when surveys in the Rocky Mountain battleground state indicated Obama with a slight edge.
Last month polls in Michigan indicated the president with a healthy lead but an EPIC-MRA survey released Monday showed his advantage had slipped to 48 percent-45 percent.
And new polls in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, where Obama held leads last month, now suggest much closer contests.
With this week's vice presidential debate and two more showdowns between Obama and Romney still to come, the polls can quickly shift again. But the new numbers this week suggest the race has changed.
"The new polls don't mean Romney is going to win, or is even ahead today if it was possible to precisely measure that. But they do mean that we are returning to a race that reflects the country's near 50-50 division over Obama's performance and, as such, is likely to remain close and within reach for both men through November," Brownstein said.

Published September 1, 1998.
No need to precook the potatoes--freshly grated spuds cooked in a sizzling hot pan with melted butter are the taste-test winner.
The first thing we wanted to do when developing a recipe for hash browns was to distinguish them from their close relatives: home fries, potato pancakes, and roesti.
We wanted thin, crisply sautéed potato cakes made with grated or chopped potatoes, raw or precooked. We wanted to develop a distinguished recipe for hash browns--that is, for the very best that hash browns have to offer.
In developing our recipe for hash browns, we began by testing potato varieties. The only type we completely eliminated was the waxy, or low-starch, variety, of which Red Bliss is an example. These potatoes didn't hold together well and were also lacking in flavor. All-purpose potatoes worked well enough, and Yukon Golds, another medium-starch potato, were still better, with their buttery color and flavor. Best of all, however, were high-starch russet (baking) potatoes. They adhered well, browned beautifully, and had the most pronounced potato flavor. Raw grated potatoes held together while cooking and had a more textured interior as well as more potato flavor. We also liked the way the raw shreds of potato formed an attractive, deeply browned crust. Grating the potatoes gave us the distinctive appearance we were looking for.

ARS Researchers to attend Emerald Ash Borer Workshop"Western Finger Lakes Releaf in Collaboration with the city of Rochester Forestry Division to provide a Workshop on Emerald Ash Borer Preparedness and Resposes"
A Hard-To-Swallow Wort!They're invasive and destructive, and they're taking over large areas of New York, New England, and Ontario. They sound innocent enough—called "pale swallow-wort" and "black swallow-wort," and both are members of the milkweed family. They've come from Europe, where natural insect and plant disease enemies likely keep them in check. Here, they're running amok because the vines contain strong and unique poisons that appear to limit their natural enemies. Even deer won't feed on them.Both swallow-wort species may be threatening monarch butterflies by displacing the common milkweeds on which they feed. Monarch larvae can't survive on swallow-worts. The vines are also encroaching on no-till corn and soybean fields and Christmas tree farms. To find biological ways to curb this invasive weed, ARS scientists at three locations are teaming with researchers at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.Lindsey R. Milbrath, USDA-ARS Biological Integrated Pest Management Research Unit, Ithaca, New York; phone (607) 254-7268.
ARS Entomologist to Speak at Invasive Plant ConferenceOn February 7 and 8, Lindsey Milbrath, research entomologist, ARS U.S. Plant, Soil and Nutrition Laboratory, Ithaca, NY, has been invited to speak at the Invasive Plant Council of New York State conference "Invasive Plants on the Horizon & More" in Albany, NY. Milbrath will give one talk involving an overview of swallow-wort biology and current control tactics and a second talk on the development of the ARS biological control program for swallow-wort. Swallow-worts are an increasingly problematic weed in the Northeast.
ARS Entomologist to Speak at Public Swallow-wort Meeting.On October 12, Lindsey Milbrath, research entomologist, ARS U.S. Plant, Soil and Nutrition Laboratory, Ithaca, NY, has been invited to speak at a swallow-wort public education meeting in Henderson, NY. Milbrath will give a research update on the development of a biological control program for swallow-wort. Two species of exotic swallow-worts, primarily found in the Northeastern U.S. and southeastern Canada, are increasingly problematic weeds on both public and private lands.
ARS authors contribute to major publication on the Fungal "Tree of Life" project. ARS microbiologists Kerry O'Donnell (Microbial Genomics and Bioprocessing Research, Peoria, IL), Richard Humber (Plant Protection Research, Ithaca, NY), and Amy Rossman (Systematic Botany and Mycology Laboratory, Beltsville, MD) are among the coauthors of the most comprehensive and large-scaled study ever attempted on the phylogeny of all fungi. This study will be published in "Nature"; it is the major product of a multiyear study funded by the National Science Foundation on fungal evolution. Most of the findings are noncontroversial but among the few surprises are that there were multiple independent losses of flagella by fungi, new perspectives on the mostly insect-pathogenic fungi in the order Entomophthorales, and the placement of microsporidia among the lower fungi.
Scientist featured in Argentinean newspaper article about fungal biocontrol agents. While in Argentina as a Fulbright Senior Specialist to teach a course on fungal pathogens affecting invertebrates, Richard Humber (Plant Protection Research, Ithaca, NY) was featured in the October 27, 2006 issue of La Plata's 'El Dia'. The article discussed Humber's work on these fungi as well as comments from collaborators Claudia Lopez Lastra (National University of La Plata) and Daniel Sosa-Gomez (an Argentinean working in Brazil at Embrapa's Soybean Research Center in Londrina).
Scientist speaks to Montana Seed Potato Growers. Stewart Gray, plant virologist at the Plant Protection Research Unit, Ithaca, NY, traveled to the 40th Annual Montana Seed Potato Seminar in Missoula, MT on November 11, 2005, to give an invited presentation of his research findings on Potato Virus Y to the 250+ attendees. PVY is a re-emerging virus disease that has hit the seed potato and to a lesser extent the production potato industries especially hard in recent years. Widespread disease incidence increases, coupled with genetic changes in the virus which are manifested as a new necrotic disease in potato tubers has significantly reduced the amount of Certified potato seed that is available for commercial production. Lots of seed potato tubers can only contain a small number of virus infected tubers to be sold as higher priced Certified seed. Seed lots with high amounts of virus can only be sold for consumption or discarded as waste. Gray's research is aimed at understanding the genetic diversity of the virus and how the various strains of the virus differ in their ability to cause epidemics in the potato crop. This information is use to develop more effective virus disease management strategies.
Scientist speaks to the 24th Annual National Potato Council Seed Seminar. Stewart Gray, plant virologist at the Plant Protection Research Unit, Ithaca, NY, will travel to Dearborn, MI, December 7-10 to give an invited presentation of his research findings on Potato Virus Y to the 250+ attendees. PVY is a re-emerging virus disease that has hit the seed potato and to a lesser extent the production potato industries especially hard in recent years. In 2005 a potato virus disease management plan was developed and implemented among the potato seed production industries of Canada and the United States. As part of that management plan, a survey of Potato virus Y is being conducted in a seed production areas. Dr. Gray's laboratory is coordinating the survey activities for the United States. He will discuss findings of the first year of the survey as well as results of his own research aimed at developing improved management strategies for the viruses affecting the seed potato industry.
Several ARS scientists from New Orleans displaced by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina have been temporarily relocated to the U.S. Plant, Soil, and Nutrition Laboratory while repairs are underway at the Southern Regional Research Center. Scientists and their support staff will be hosted by both the Plant Protection Research Unit and the US Plant Soil & Nutrition Research Unit. Their research programs will also involve collaborations with Cornell University scientists in the Departments of Plant Pathology (Dr. Kathie Hodge) and Animal Science (Dr. Xingen Lei). Here the scientists will be able to return to their research efforts while they and their families adapt to a "normal" life in the Northeast. While the time frame for their stay is uncertain, they expect to eventually return to their homes & work again in the "Big Easy."
ARS Scientists Meet with Russian Collaborators on Fungal Entomopathogens and Their Biologically Active Products -- Drs. Donna Gibson (Plant Physiologist) and Richard Humber (Microbiologist) of Plant Protection Research Unit (US Plant, Soil & Nutrition Laboratory, Ithaca, NY) traveled to Obolensk, Russia, from August 7-14 to confer with Russian counterparts in a binational program. The research covers the collection and culture of fungal entomopathogens, and also the testing and characterization of compounds from them that show potentially useful activity against a wide spectrum of insect pests and weeds.
ARS Research Leader helps discover key enzyme in a plant pathogenic bacterium. Supervisory Plant Physiologist Donna M. Gibson, Ithaca, New York, and seven Cornell University collaborators have discovered a key enzyme involved in production of a toxic metabolite by a Streptomyces bacterium that causes potato scab. The research group has shown how a nitric oxide synthase enzyme helps the bacterium produce thaxtomin. Production of this metabolite by the bacterium causes many of the plant's disease symptoms. A similar enzyme is involved in cell communication in mammals but its role in bacterial physiology was previously unknown. The work was recently published in Nature (2004) 429: 79-81.

My husband and I took our two young children to SF for their Spring Break. We booked this hotel in Pacifica because of the location close to all the... must see's of the bay area but off the beaten path. The price was amazing. We had two queen beds and a kitchenette, which was great and saved us money. The price for the room was OUTSTANDING for the area, you couldn't beat it. We had a second story room and could see the ocean. We also had covered parking. Close to the highway for easy access on and off the freeway. The only negative to this was the beds were stiff and made for a rough night after walking all day, but other than that... I WOULD TOTALLY stay here again. As a matter of fact, we are planning an adults only trip with our best friends and want to stay here again! by Alisha from Chico, CA on 03/25/13

5. | cue ball | ||
A small white glob of unknown origin that accumulates on the lips of a dry-mouthed, often nervous, speaker. It's elastic and adhesive qualities enable it to stretch between upper and lower lips to the complete distraction and disgust of the audience. Remember to take a sip of water now and then during your presentation--we don't want to blow this deal over a cue ball.

The Giant at 2300 Linglestown Road was recently remodeled to include the beer garden and eatery after the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board granted a restaurant liquor license to the store in May.
The grocery chain said the beer garden will offer its largest selection of domestic and import beers, including craft and specialty items. Customers will also be able to "mix-a-six" or create their own six packs, Giant said.
The eatery also will include a variety of foods, including sandwiches, pizza, Chinese food, sushi, desserts and non-alcoholic beverages. The beer garden and eatery will be open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.
Giant Food Stores are a chain of Middlesex Township-based Ahold USA, a division of Netherlands-based grocer Royal Ahold.

strengthining families

When I was growing up in small town Utah in the late 40′s through the 60s, most families had large lots. My parents and grandparents had large gardens that I was often tasked with weeding. It wasn't a problem growing crops that needed a lot of space. Corn, summer and winter squash, pumpkins and melons need quite a bit of space when grown horizontally. Most, with the exception of corn, can be grown vertically.
Now a large lot is usually 1/2 acre which includes the space taken up by the home, driveways, walks, etc. Most of us live on lots that are 1/3 acre or smaller. In the case of an apartment there is usually no green space at all. We are seeing more neighborhood or community garden plots.
When we lived in Germany we noticed that they had taken this to an art form with gartenplatz (garden plots) where most are rented. They are even covered by their federal laws.
The [German] Federal Garden Plot Law. From Section 3:
(1) A garden plot should not be larger than 400 square meters [4300 square feet]. During use and cultivation of the garden plot, all requirements relating to protection of the environment, the local habitat, and the landscape shall be taken into account.
(2) In the garden plot, it is permitted to construct a simply-furnished small house with a maximum of 24 square meters [258 square feet] of floor space, including any covered outdoor seating area. Sections 29 to 36 of the Building Code apply accordingly. The house's overall design, and especially its furnishings and equipment, may not be suited to long-term residence.
The result are thousands of garden colonies on the outskirts of big cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland that look more like miniature housing developments than peaceful nature retreats. In the summertime, they are packed with families enjoying the sunshine, crammed onto their tiny plots grilling, eating and relaxing.
Since most of us want to stay at home to do our gardening, I will talk about several ways that we can do this. One of the first things that I would have you do is look for a location that has adequate sunlight and preferably near a source of water. Look on the Internet for ideas and then plan out your garden space. Here are some ideas to think about:
2. Vertical gardening: This can be incorporated into your horizontal gardens. It is a great way to maximize your space as well as minimize rot, mold and some insects with your
plants being off the ground. I use steel electrical conduit for the frame. There are right angle connectors that allow you to make a 3 sided rigid frame from items easily purchased at any local hardware store. Nylon netting is then stretched across the conduit and secured with plastic tie-downs. This can then be secured to your boxes, if you use raised beds, or by hammering rebar (also found at hardware stores: many of them sell precut short pieces) into the ground and then sliding the open end of the 2 vertical supports over these. There are many vegetable that can be grown vertically. Peas, pole beans, summer and winter squash, tomatoes, watermelons, cantaloupe, cucumbers, pumpkins, etc. I have used this technique for several years. Some of these will need additional support once the fruit develops, such as cantaloupe. Trellises are another vertical technique. They have been used for centuries for grapes. Winter squash and cucumbers, gourds, melons, berries and even pumpkins can also be adapted to trellises. I have used a trellis for some of my grapes vines for years and last year I made one for my winter squash. I am going to change it this year so that it is anchored on the far sides of my raised beds instead of the inside. This made it easier to get to the plants in the raised beds.
3. Place vegetable among your ornamental plants. I have done this with peppers. There are now ornamental peppers that are edible. Herbs also work well in this setting. I have chives in my flower beds.
4. Containers: Any container: from glass jars, fabric grow bags, upside down bags, old nursery black plastic plant containers to the fanciest of pots can be used for growing vegetables. Some have water reservoirs in the bottom to minimize the watering requirements. I have my dwarf orange and lemon trees in 2 of these. There are specific ones for strawberries. This technique can be used in the house, on the deck or on the side of the house. There are now specific tomato varieties for the upside down containers.
5. Intercropping: Planting crops that mature early with crops that mature later in the year.
6. Relay Planting: Planting some plants one week and then planting the same variety a week or two later in different spots so that the production time will be prolonged.
7. Succession Planting: Once a crop, such as radishes are finished producing, planting another crop that does well in the hotter months.
8. Plant dwarf or bush varieties of vegetables and fruit trees. I use this technique grow my fruit trees closer together.
9. Espalier (i-spal-yey or -yer): This is for growing vines or trees in a 2 dimensional plane. Grape vines have been trained this way for millennium. Many fruit trees can also be trained to grow in this way. Apple, apricot, nectarine, peach and plum are among the fruit trees that you can espalier. This was used by George Washington at Mount Vernon and in gardens in Colonial Williamsburg. I have done this with 2 plum trees and plan to do it with some apples varieties. I use the dwarf or semi-dwarf varieties, but it can be done with standard sizes.
10. Mobile Garden: When you think that you have seen it all, you haven't !!!

文字語彙 No real problems 聴解 Is it just me or was that really hard? 読解\文法 reading was on the diffcult side but not too bad, grammar was a walk in the park. My performance on the listening section may have cost me a pass. Seriously, I`m thinking I`ll be lucku to get 40%! Hope you guys had an easier time of it

文字語彙 After I took it, I thought it wasn't so bad. But now that I went back and checked my answers, I now know that I got 82% at the most (I haven't confirmed section VI yet, so it might be lower... ). I wish all of the questions were only worth 1pt. I made so many stupid mistakes, including one time where I changed a correct answer to an incorrect one. Most of the mistakes I'd made were words that I had actually studied & should have known. I'm pretty sure that I passed 文字語彙, though (crossing fingers), so maybe I just just be happy about that... 聴解 Holy **** this was REALLY REALLY hard!!!!! MUCH more difficult than last years. My head still hurts. I was counting on this for points, but I'm not sure that I even passed this section. I won't even make a guess. 読解\文法 There were a few tricky reading questions (one is particular is still bothering me), but I agree that overall it wasn't too bad. The grammar was also pretty easy (though I want to know the answer to the first grammar question!! it's driving me crazy!). There were a few non-Kanzen Master points thrown in the mix. I'll post more thoughts later, and more specific things after everyone around the world has taken the test.

試験は難しかったが、ことによるとぎりぎりで合格できるかもしれない。 That's just a sample sentence from a study-book for the JLPT 1, but there's not much to add from my side. I found it quite hard today. Maybe I'm just a little bit over the 70%, maybe not. Yeah, 聴解 was really a challenge. There were not only a few answers, which I had to guess. I'll try it again next year, regardless of the result this year. Still too much, I should have known. It's really getting harder every year, isn't it?

文字・語彙 知らん。あいまいな感じ。 けどあまり悪くも無かった。 聴解 正直に言え、私、本物の聴解問題を見るのは今日で初めてだった アニメおたくの根性で何とかなると考えていたんだが 世の中そんなに甘いもんじゃないのね 読解・文法 私は何よりも文法が一番心配だったので 文法問題が考えたことより難しくなかったのでホッとした 読解?何とかなるんだろう…
I also made a mistake with this one. I think I changed it from ② to ①. Oops
KuzuhaJLPT StarterJoined: 03 Dec 2007Posts: 6
maky, Yes, the answer is #2 for both of those. As for my thoughts on the test, everything except for the first part of listening (with the pictures) was harder than I expected. The latter part of listening, as others have mentioned, was much harder than I expected. Grammar was not necessarily hard, but took more time than usual. Reading also took more time with usual. Well, that was my overall impression. Hope you all passed!
Thanks to the magnificent Maky for hunting down those answers! OK, assuming the absolute worst case scenario (all questions in doubt are wrong and zero for part 2 of the listening) I get 278 pts. That probably wont happen so I feel a little confident that I passed. If all doubtful answers are correct (but still assuming zero for listening part 2) I get 306 pts. Now, since I took the exam in Australia I have to wait approximately forever to get my results

As for the listening, I commiserate. I essentially knew it`d cost me the pass the moment I walked out of the room. Too much guessing and some rather stupid mistakes from me. I`m now fairly sure there has been a concerted effort to make listening harder in recent years. Also, does it strike anyone else as odd that there were 21 reading questions but only 34 (35?) grammar questions? It`s not possible that they upped the weighting of the grammar questions, is it? Anyway, rather than start a new thread, I thought I`d just write out my reconstruction, from memory, of the listening section here. In now particular order: (With pics) --seat on train (smoking or non) --doll-making process --socks and blanket set --cup and saucer set (I think I blew this on the grounds of having confused the meaning of つぼみ). Such and easy one too. --a 順番 question about a medical check --a guy leaving a phone message concerning the time of the meeting and whether someone would attend the lunch. --The one about the guy choosing his mandatory classes. --choosing the correct title for the news story. --the graph --When the woman`s meeting is expected to end. --Whether the guy will buy the low-cal high-protein product or not. --Determining the work relationship between the man, woman, and the unseen employee. --Determining which section the young employee works in now. --Determining which figure corresponds to the Professor`s speech. --Choosing the chart which lists the boys` dreams for the future. That`s, uh, 15 of the 16 I think. I couldn`t remember the others. (no pics) --phone message from a friend asking to delay meeting. --Footrace results--did the newcomer pull off 大逆転? --speech about bullies --document sending crisis/misunderstanding --Witnesses describing accident. --survey of people`s desire to get married. --Man`s complaints about whingeing at work (one of the few I answered with confidence). --How will the 課長 reach his destination (plane, car, both) --Students should express themselves by some means other than uniforms. --Who says that they don`t need お土産? That`s 10 of the 14. Can`t remember the rest. Anyone care to add? I`ll say again that my own experience of this listening test was a song sung in the key of ***t. Like really bad. Many of the questions, I should`ve got right, but something in the phrasing threw me off. Ah well, next year it is then.
Thanks to the links posted, I did some calculations last night, and I am quite confident that I passed. I was a bit worried, so that's a relief. Now to find out if I'm right... in a few months.
Here are my thoughts after having some time to relax and reflect over the test: 文字・語彙 I think this section was actually fairly easy compared to previous years. I had come across almost all of the words before. But that didn't stop me from making many, many stupid mistakes. I deliberated over a few questions, only to end up choosing the wrong answer oops. But I got every question right in the last two sections, yay! Kanji/goi is usually the most difficult test of the three for me, so I am satisfied with my 82%. 聴解 Personally, I thought this test was very hard, but I have heard others say it was a walk in the park (天気がいいから散歩しましょう, hehe). During the fifth or sixth listening question, I realized that I had accidentally filled in two bubbles on one row, so my answers were messed up. >_< I hurried to fix them, but then I missed the beginning to the next question. And for some reason, I kept expecting the questions to be "fake" trick questions-- but now I don't think the JLPT people are that evil. Normally listening is fairly easy for me, but I screwed up this year. I think I missed 3 or 4 of the picture questions alone. Oh well, there's always next year, right? 読解・文法 Reading was mixed. Most of the readings were doable, except for that economics one (or whatever it was about- I still don't know!). The first one was easy to read. BUT the questions were vague as hell. There were a few that seemed like more than one answer could be possible. Grammar was incredibly easy. Thank you 完全マスター!! I missed the "~にして" question, but I shouldn't have because sure enough that point was covered in the book, too. I was surprised by the abundance of 2kyu material and also by the lack of keigo. I am still convinced that しかるべき falls under the category of "Vocabulary" and not "Grammar" boohoo ---------------------------- nokori3byo - thanks for posting that!!

Yeah, I think I failed by just a few percentage points. It's pretty demoralizing to see that after all the hard work. I've been reading the posts on this board for some time but since all of the regular posters were rocking my scores on practice tests I felt a little embarrassed to post my results. Thanks to maky, Applecart, nokori3byo, atomu and others for contributing so much to this board. I wish I'd participated in it earlier in the lead-up to the test. Oh well, I'll definitely be here for next year's test (unless they somehow change our scores so I magically passed or something). Good job everybody with all the hard work, and I guess those of us who failed can always look forward to next year's test!
awww, Laurus, you should have joined in sooner!! But I'm glad you're posting now & hope you'll stick around. And I mean this to all of the posters who just started posting here, too! Pass or fail, it sounds like many people are planning on taking the test next year again. I think I will (though I won't study as hard for it next year! And I want to take the BJT, too.). I hope that everyone posting in this forum will continue to hang around here. Until recently, there has been a major lack of info about 1kyu in english on the internet. By posting about our experiences here we can help fix this, plus get advice and feedback from others. So please post! Practice test scores aren't necessarily important (just a diagnosis tool), and the actual test isn't necessarily the most important thing, really. If you put hard work into your studies, I'm sure that it's paid off with your improved Japanese- speaking, reading, listening, and writing. Have you noticed the results? Isn't it a great feeling to be able to actually read things, understand things you hear without trying, watch TV or movies without subtitles & understand most if not all of it, and be able to have actual discussions with people beyond small talk? ^^ Anyway, Laurus & tabehodai - the jlpt isn't over till the official results come out! We can only speculate till then, right?
Hey maky, Thanks for the encouraging post. Yes, I will definitely be hanging around here! It's really a great forum thanks to you and other members who are active and encouraging to each other and to newcomers like me. I think a combination of two things hit me on the test. One, the listening section was harder than I expected, and two, I didn't do well enough on the other sections to compensate for that. So I think my strategy for next year will be to improve my listening skills as much as possible (hard to do) and try to boost my scores on the other sections to compensate for my poor listening (maybe easier to do?). Yes, I think you're right that our studying has helped our Japanese in general. I picked up a random Japanese book the other day and I was surprised how easy it was to read it compared to before. Somehow I'm getting some kind of strange pleasure from the idea of studying for this test for one more year even though it's testing so much random archaic stuff. And who knows, like you said, some of us who think we failed may have even passed! We just have to wait and see!

Experiencing corrosion? But don't know how it's forming? Or how to prevent it?
The answer may be beyond your parent metal.
Yet, corrosion protection will vary among industrial coatings. Each can have unique strengths. Ready to find the best?
Everlube Products Pioneer and Leader in Solid Film Lubricant Technology.
First, we see "corrosion" and "chemical corrosion" the same. When a surface is attacked, it is a chemical (or electrochemical) reaction occurring between the surface and the environment. And the effects on surface properties or performance are negative.Here are some common corrosion manifestations:
Fretting– visible through pits, grooves, or debris relating to oxidation, occurring at the asperities or "peaks" of contact surfaces. An example is vibration, which is the result of load in the presence of repeated relative motion.
Galvanic– seen by pits, holes, or local oxidation products, the result of dissimilar metal. Here, one metal corrodes faster than it would alone, while the second corrodes slower than it would alone. Often, this is confused with coupled metals exhibiting increased decay based on differences in their electromotive force potentials.
Uniform– manifested by equal measurable material loss over a larger surface area, which continues until failure. There is often predictability there. And performance is assured, though will diminish over time.Pitting– is a localized form. Often difficult to detect, this type is considered more dangerous to design against. Pitting is initiated by local chemical or mechanical damage of protective oxide films or non metallic inclusions, theoretically forming a \"battery\" between an abnormal anode or cathode site.Other forms of corrosion, including 'Intergranular', 'Exfoliation', 'Stress', and 'Hydrogen Embrittlement', can also result in localized cracking, severe loss in ductility, and increased residual tensile stresses.
So, how do we choose industrial corrosion resistant coatings?
What is the temperature of service? Can you define the corrosive strength or time of exposure? What about the corrosive medium. Is it a liquid? A vapor? Both? Under pressure? Indoor? Outdoors?
Your best coating choice must be environmentally compatible.
Is your coating inert (non reactive) to the environment? Consider surface porosity. Also known as pin holes or holidays, those microscopic voids allow penetration of corrosives, down to the base metal. Resistance to permeation matters.
Are there moving, mechanical parts? Don't ignore your parent metal (substrate). Take away its ability to form corrosive products and you can extend coating life, dramatically. So important under dynamic load, when coating thickness is restricted.
You've established environmental and parent metal compatibility. Don't stop there. To be sure there are no quality issues after applying the coating, consider the simple "wet sponge" or "high pot" (potential) test.
Highly effective with thermoset or thermoplastics, ceramics, or other non-conductive coatings, the test will reveal quickly, destructively, bare metal (coating void) by an electrical arc discharge.

How to Stop Roof Leaking
Roofing leakages can happen to acquire a quantity of factors. These people usually start out smaller than average grow over amount of in time so that you can larger difficulties. Nevertheless, a good tiny roofing spill could cause main injury to your home. Besides building wet spot locations by yourself accomplished ceilings, best leaking might lead to mold and mildew growth in addition to get rotten. They'll also may trigger power jeans.
Industrial Floor Coatings| Protective Coatings
Truthfully, the only difference between you and garage floor coatings, Protective Coatings, Industrial Coatingsexperts is time. If you'll invest a little more time in reading, you'll be that much nearer to expert status when it comes to garage floor coatings.
The coating process is specifically designed to prevent operational malfunction caused by exposure to moisture, immersion in water, dust, and effects of high wind and chemicals. Any solid surface can be coated, including metal, wood, plastic, paper and textiles. Apply a uniform, thin layer of coating, ranging in thickness from microns to mils. The final product is inert and weather and water resistant.
what is epoxy ?
Epoxies are polymer materials that begin life as liquids and are converted to the solid polymers by a chemical reaction. An epoxy based polymer is mechanically strong, chemically resistant to degradation of the chemical elements in the solid form and highly adhesive during conversion from liquid to solid. There are a wide range of basic epoxy chemicals from which an epoxy system can be formulated.
Physically epoxy systems contain two components, resins and a hardeners. The resin component is usually light, sometimes almost clear colored and almost odour free. Hardeners are usually dark and have a characteristic 'ammonia-like' smell. When these two components are brought together and mixed intimately in a prescribed way, they will react chemically and link together irreversibly, and after the chemical reaction has been completed, they will form a rigid plastic material.
Applications of epoxy based materials are extensive and include coatings, adhesives and composite materials like carbon fiber and glass-reinforced plastic (although polyester, vinyl ester, and other thermosetting resins are also used for glass-reinforced plastic). Epoxies are known for their excellent adhesion, chemical and heat resistance, good to excellent mechanical properties and very good electrical insulating properties. Almost any property can be modified.
Ultimate Linings Best| Industrial Coatings| Protective Coatings
Industrial coatings are generally used to diminish the effects of corrosion thus preventing the metal from being tarnished or damaged. Industrial protective coatings enhances the finesse of the metal or material which in turn improves the quality. The important feature of these coatings is that they are weather proof and hence they provide robustness to the products used in the industries are more prone to be affected by the weather conditions.
Protective Coatings
An Industrial coatings is a paint or coating defined by its protective, rather than its aesthetic properties, although it can provide both.The most common use of Industrial coatings is for corrosion control of steel or concrete. Other functions include intumescent coatings for fire resistance. The most common polymers used in Industrial coatings are polyurethane, epoxy and moisture cure urethane.

Overview This year between one and two million people will die from the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and hundreds of millions more will suffer acute infection. With a malaria vaccine many years away, there is an urgent need for novel anti-malarial agents with which to combat emerging drug resistant parasites. The pathology of severe malaria is a consequence of the multiplication of P. falciparum within human erythrocytes. One remarkable feature of this phase of the life cycle is the parasite's catabolism of large amounts of host hemoglobin within an acidic degradative organelle called the food vacuole. Our goal is to explore the process of hemoglobin degradation from biochemical and cell biological perspectives. In doing so, we aim to better understand the particular adaptations that allow the parasite to thrive in its host, and to characterize essential processes that can be targeted in the search for new anti-malarial drugs. Peptide catabolism in the food vacuole One of our main interests is the role of peptidases in the later stages of hemoglobin degradation. We are characterizing the substrate and inhibitor specificities of a recently identified P. falciparum dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (Klemba et al (2004), J. Biol. Chem. 279 43000). This enzyme functions near the end of the hemoglobin catabolic pathway by generating dipeptides from larger peptides and shows promise as a new drug target, as its activity appears to be essential to the parasite. To understand how dipeptides are hydrolyzed to amino acids, we are currently localizing all putative aminopeptidases that have been identified in a homology-based search of the P. falciparum genome sequence. This is being accomplished by independently tagging each aminopeptidase with green fluorescent protein (GFP). Those aminopeptidases that are implicated in hemoglobin catabolism will be purified or expressed recombinantly for detailed biochemical analysis. Protein trafficking to the food vacuole Another major interest is the trafficking of endogenous food vacuole peptidases. The trafficking route of the food vacuole aspartic protease plasmepsin II encompasses both the classical secretory pathway as well as a parasite-specific endocytic pathway (Klemba et al (2004) J. Cell Biol. 164 47). By fusing fragments of plasmepsin II to GFP, we aim to identify specific sequences that direct plasmepsin II to the food vacuole. We are also developing a high-throughput screen for inhibitors of plasmepsin II trafficking.

Laura Redburn AKA Cardboard Cities Makes Wonderful Mixed Media Collages
Laura Redburn AKA Cardboard Cities makes some of the finest collages around. Inspired by colour, animals, nature, old films and science fiction the Welsh artist creates vibrant pictures full of humour that hint at a darkness, a dream world inhabited by strange characters and places.
What I like most the work is her range of style; the use of mixed media, pattern work and bold shapes in her pictures, something you don't often see in the work of many collage artists most of whom are quite happy to use found images to create their dystopian worlds.
Redburn has this to say about her work:
Often when I'm watching something, I have trouble focusing on what's happening because I'm so distracted by the scenery, or the colours in the shot, or just the way the shot has been composed.

Hearing Music in the David O. Selznick Collection
Occupying almost 5,000 document cases, the archive of film producer David O. Selznick is the Ransom Center's largest archive. Nathan Platte, a Musicology Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan, navigated through this enormous collection last year with a dissertation fellowship jointly sponsored by the Ransom Center and The University of Texas at Austin Office of Graduate Studies. Platte shares his experiences conducting research at the Ransom Center for his dissertation, "Musical Collaboration, Coercion, and Resistance in the Films of David O. Selznick, 1932–1948."
While writing a dissertation on the films of David O. Selznick, I had the fortunate opportunity to conduct extensive research in the Harry Ransom Center's gargantuan David O. Selznick collection. When one thinks of a film producer's…

Me and my gang in Breck
Drat. Shin Splints took me out of my run this morning within the first 1/2 mile. I wound up carrying on for a little bit (at a slower speed and also trying to warm up with more walking) to see if they would go away as my muscles warmed up further (they didn't). Wound up eventually turning around and hobbling home - snipping my 5mi run down to a 2.6 mi run/walk/hobble. *sigh* Less than a month to my first HM. I sure as heck hope I manage to fix this.

Are you getting the lower half of your legs stretched sufficiently? It can be hard to get that shin area stretched, but I think inflexible calves can often lead to shin splints, so maybe you're not getting those rear, lower leg muscles loosened-up enough...?

Comeback win over Chiefs covers up Eagles problems
PHILADELPHIA — Just when it seemed the Eagles answered their preseason red zone woes Friday night, the second quarter arrived.
And it was followed by the third quarter.
There was enough concern in the mind of Andy Reid that he kept the first team offense on the field for the beginning of the fourth quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs, who didn't defend real well in going 2-14 last season.
But after Kevin Kolb was incomplete on third-and-three at the nine-yard line of the Chiefs, Reid brought David Akers in to kick a 27-yard field goal on fourth down to pull the Eagles within 14-13 instead of going for a touchown. Would it be asking too much for an offense with just one TD in three games to take another shot at six?
But Reid came out of it looking like a genius — if winning preseason qualifies you for that.
Rookie Mike Kafka rallied the Eagles to a 20-17 win over the Chiefs with an 18-yard scoring pass to rookie Riley Cooper with 23 seconds remaining. That came after the Chiefs subs got another field goal and a 17-13 lead to all but seal the decision at newly renovated Arrowhead Stadium.
It was another understatement for Reid to say the first team offense has "plenty of work to do. But there were some good things."
Kafka completed 9 of 13 attempts for 93 yards and a 115.2 passer rating.
The first team Eagles defense got two turnovers.
It didn't look like it would be such a struggle for the Eagles, now 2-1 in the preseason with one game to go. They grabbed the lead just 53 seconds into the game exactly the way the brass drew it up — a forced turnover followed by a counter with LeSean McCoy rolling 18 yards for the score. And so what if Michael Vick handed the ball off? The blocking almost was as spectacular as the run. Continued...
"It's nice to do that right off the bat," Kolb said. "It seems like it's kind of natural sometimes when you score that easily and that quick you kind of have a letdown," Kolb said. "And that's obviously what happened. We have to be more disciplined. You could see it was one mistake here, one mistake there. It just kept hindering us. We couldn't get any rhythm. On the last drive we put it inside the 10. We had a good drive all the way through but we didn't put it in the end zone."
The Eagles digressed to the point where Kolb was picked off by rookie Kendrick Lewis, who ran it back to the 26-yard line of the Eagles with the third quarter winding down.
Kolb was sandwiched in the pocket on that throw although moments before he nearly was intercepted.
Four plays later, Thomas Jones scored from 10 yards out, running through five Eagles who looked like they were participating in a 'thud' drill rather than a real game situation. It gave the Chiefs a 14-10 lead.
On a somber note Chiefs rookie linebacker Cameron Sheffield was carted off with 3:40 left in the third ground with a neck injury. The fifth-round pick out of Troy made a stop on Eagles running back Mike Bell.
The Eagles also had their share of injuries.
DeSean Jackson (strained neck), Trent Cole (sprained ankle), center Mike McGlynn (leg) and cornerback Dimitri Patterson (finger) all were shaken up. McGlynn and Patterson returned to action while Cole got some good news – the X-rays were negative.
The first team Eagles offense put its first touchdown on the board on its first possession, one set up by a forced fumble and a recovery by Cole at the 22-yard line of the Chiefs.
After Jackson was sent to the sideline with an upper back injury thanks to a kill-shot from rookie safety Eric Berry, Vick came in on second-and-six from the 18. McCoy took the handoff and burst into the end zone almost untouched to supply the Eagles with the lead.
End of red zone woes? Not quite. Continued...
It just wouldn't be an Eagles game without a false start by left tackle Jason Peters, blowing up another potential TD drive.
Instead of third-and-nine at the 16 of the Chiefs, Kolb tried to convert from outside the red zone.
But Kolb couldn't duplicate the stunning 10-yard scramble producing a first down on third and long earlier on the series. Kolb froze the collapsing pocket with a pump-fake and bounced outside for a first down. Akers, showing no issues with the heel of his plant foot, kicked a 39-yard field goal to give the Eagles a 10-0 lead with 1:46 left in the opening frame.
Kolb got worse as the night wore on partly because the Chiefs put him on his back four times, two of the drops by former Eagles sixth-round pick Andy Studebaker. Kolb completed just 11 of 25 throws on the night for 103 yards and a 39.2 passer rating.
"They brought a few extra things there," Kolb said. "And a couple of them were me. There were some throws I missed and like always, it starts at this position."
The Eagles played a very solid first half, particularly on defense.
The Eagles forced fumbles on the first two Chiefs possession. Rookie Trevard Lindley intercepted Matt Cassel. Defensive end Brandon Graham put Cassel on his back.
Even cornerback Asante Samuel got into the act with a big hit flattening Dexter McCluster. OK, McCluster is 5-8, 170.
But the Eagles hurt themselves with mistakes, including a strange delay of game penalty on the punt return team gave the Chiefs a first down.
