So I got this thing last week. I've never been a HUGE fan of Tron or anything. I've always thought of it as a kick-ass movie, but I'm not part of the Tron community or anything.
Or at least, I wasn't.
I tell ya', this damn DVD is consuming my entire life. The movie came out when I was, what, one year old? It wasn't until I got the DVD and saw the documentary on the making of the film that I gained some kind of perspective on how groundbreaking it was.
I'm not in love with it or anything. It has some truly corny and contrived dialogue in it, but you've got to give it credit for balls for introducing an entire world and a set of characters with as little exposition as possible. I think that's one of the reasons it still seems so fresh. The movie makes you work a little in trying to figure out what's going on.
Aside from that, I found out that the producers of Tron also produced the Animalympics, a truly charming and often brilliant animated movie that is also one of my cherished childhood memories. Comparing them both now, it's really obvious, and not just for the backlit effects in both of them.
But still, I'm spending unhealthy amounts of time watching it. I want to write Tron fanfiction, draw pictures of Tron characters, eat a big bowl of Tron breakfast cereal and then whip some ass with my laser frisbie(if anyone knows where I can get a working laser frisbee, complete with the ability to store my entire memory on it, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com).
I'm starting to develop a crush on Yori too. The way she runs around in the video game world, her fat little ass bouncing all over the place... rowr. BTW, if she happened to be your first crush or something, I'd advise you to NOT watch the making of documentary. Let's just say that she wouldn't look good in that little outfit anymore.
Now me on the other hand, I'd look great in a Tron suit, like Brad Nowell got sucked into a computer. I don't think I'd last very long either, as a video game warrior. I wouldn't even make it as far as the Lightcycles, I'd get killed playing Minesweeper or Solitaire or something.
Anyway, Tron is a kickass movie, and the DVD is loaded with extras. From Mobius storyboards and concept art to all the technical shit you'd ever wanna know about.
Oh yeah, go check this out too:

The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
This rating applies to vehicles other than the specific model and body style tested.
The Nissan Maxima and the Infiniti I30 (renamed I35 beginning with 2002 models) were redesigned for the 2000 model year. All 2000 and later Maxima and I30/I35 models manufactured after November 1999 include structural and airbag modifications to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has evaluated the crashworthiness of a Maxima with the structural and airbag modifications in a 40 mph frontal offset crash test into a deformable barrier.
Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on both tibias indicate that injuries to the lower legs would be likely. Head acceleration from the roof rail hit was low.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail.

If there is one thing we parents fantasize about, it is having more time to ourselves. So when the current American College of Sports Medicine recommendations say we should do "moderately intense cardio thirty minutes a day, five days a week, or do vigorously intense cardio twenty minutes a day, three days a week and do eight to ten strength-training exercises, eight to twelve repetitions of each exercise twice a week," we ask: what parent has time for that?
Often, somewhere between getting the kids up, dressed and fed in the morning and fed, dressed and put to bed at night, many of us are unable to find any alone time at all, but we should. Because we are happier, better parents and all-around better humans when we find the time to break a sweat. And besides, if we are honest with ourselves, very few of us are really happy carrying the extra post-baby pounds. As an added bonus, by taking the time to exercise, we impress upon our kids the importance of fitness and health. And even more, exercise can be a lot of fun – if you let it work for you. While we may not have time to do the three hour circuit training sessions we used to enjoy, we can still get our butts moving, break a sweat and raise our heart rate with these ideas. – Sasha Brown-Worsham
Join a gym with good childcare
This one seems obvious, right? But the range of childcare options at various gyms is astounding, from the windowless, basement-level childcare I encountered at Bally's in Cambridge, Mass, to the bright, beautiful, well-appointed, curriculum-heavy childcare at Sports Club LA. For a small additional fee, many clubs offer in-house childcare and will allow you to tour the facilities, chat with the childcare pros and learn the ropes before you join. The age ranges also vary, so make sure you ask. Do a trial membership; check out a spinning class while the kids play. Many places offer weekend (and evening) hours that allow you and your spouse to work out together or allow working parents the same opportunity to bust a move that their stay-at-home counterparts get. As for the kids, they may cry a little when you leave, but ninety minutes later, after a spin and a shower, you will think it was all well worth it.
Mommy and Me Classes
For those of us not comfortable with the straight drop-off and who have younger babies (read: non-crawlers), there are a host of Mommy/Daddy/Caregiver and Me classes that offer cardio/toning opportunities for the adult and socializing, play and nursing opportunities for the infant. After my daughter was born in 2007, we had a weekly date with Tara who taught Mommy Bootcamp at Healthworks in Boston and with whom I credit the return (and subsequent demise due to a surprise second pregnancy caused by said abs) of my abs.
Stroller Strides is a lot like the Mommy/Daddy/Caregiver and Me classes, but it is outside and offers the opportunity to play with the baby while simultaneously dipping, squatting and skipping in public. Yes, you will get weird looks, but there is safety in numbers. All of us look dumb together and besides, our glutes will have the last laugh.
Babysitting swap
If you stay at home with the kids, find someone else who does as well and swap an hour or two while you run/bike/swim or do whatever it is you need to do to maintain fitness and sanity. Then the next day, you do the same for them.
Pull Carrier/Bike Seat
Biking in the city can be a scary endeavor, especially with children strapped to the back or trailing behind. But once you get over the initial fear, biking with kids can be fun. Pulling a kid also means extra core work, both because of the increase in weight and the added balancing challenges.
Jogging Stroller
The jogging stroller really is a one-way ticket to freedom for parents. I have the BOB Ironman Duallie and spend a lot of time running to and from the various parks around town. Some kids are content to sit idly while you run, others demand a dangling carrot, so run to a park and while the kids play do pull-ups, chin-ups and ab work. Then run home.
Playground fitness
The playground is awash with opportunity to work your core, arms and glutes while also playing with the kids. Make it a game. Let them dangle on you for extra weight while you do pull-ups. Run "underdog" as you push them in the swing fifteen times in a row. Be creative. Get the heart pumping.
Use Naptime
I am loathe to suggest using naptime (or "quiet time" for those with older children) for anything other than staring at the wall, but the time can also be used to uncover some of those workout DVDs you said you would do but never got around to trying. If you want to try before you buy, Netflix offers a number of hour-long workout videos (and ten-minute increment ones) that can be accessed immediately and as often as needed. Invest in a treadmill, exercise bike or elliptical if you have the space. Craig's List, yard sales and Ebay are great sources to find home workout equipment on the cheap. Pop the ear buds in, crank up the iPod and dance in the living room.
DVDs that incorporate the kids
If you prefer to save naptime for actual sleeping, then there are also workout DVDs that incorporate children. Fusion Pilates is one of my favorites because it is relatively short (twenty minutes) and uses the baby as resistance. When combined with a walk/jog, it is a stellar workout. Plus, my pre-school age daughter straps on her own doll in her mini Baby Bjorn and works out next to me.
Ten minutes here and there adds up
Remember: it does not have to be one hour-long workout. The ACSM recommendations can be accomplished in ten-minute bursts. Run up and down the stairs a few times during naptime. Jump rope while the kids play. Do jumping jacks during commercial breaks after the kids go to bed. I did all of my nursing on an exercise ball. I know that sounds insane, but if you make fitness fit your life, it becomes easier.
Find a workout moms group
Check out See Mommy Run and various other online meet ups for moms who want to work out. Many times the pressure of having to meet someone provides the motivation you might lack by yourself. Besides, the more active people you know, the more active you will become.
Hire a trainer
If all else fails and you still are unmotivated, hire help. A trainer can offer workouts tailored to your personal schedule as well as extra motivation to move on sluggish mornings. The price is often high, but the return – a new, happy, svelte you – can be worth it.

Indeed, we can't go out either, as Pink Daughter is poorly and staying in bed. She was to be the Lead Rabbit in tonight's school play, but some other rabbit will be first to the lettuce-field instead.
It's a sad day for a six year old who had memorized everyone's lines and schemed long and hard to be allocated the best ears, who is peering feebly through the salted white windowpanes at the headlights making their way west: carloads of unfeverish rabbits and their proud parents heading for the parish-hall stage, and glory.
"Life will yield many opportunities to be the Lead Rabbit," I assure her, but she is not convinced.

By JEFF PICKELL
To Fayette resident Jana Beaverson, there are some people who "get it," and some who don't.
She's talking about her enthusiasm for all things related to the American Civil War—the politics, the battles, the culture, the machinery, even Civil War-era garb.
Jana is among a contingent of Americans who devote much of their free-time to researching and reliving the experiences of those involved in the most violent conflict to occur in the United States.
But it's not the violence that fascinates her—it's the inner conflict and social turmoil that Americans faced during the build-up to the war between the states, and the ensuing several decades, that intrigue her.
"It's about honoring the memory of those who fought for what they believed in, who fought for their homes," she said.
Jana's hobby has taken her to the Virginia battlefields at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, to the town of Vicksburg, Miss., which was laid siege by General Ulysses S. Grant for six weeks before its surrender—and, most recently, to Gettysburg, Pa., perhaps the most famous battleground of them all.
It's enlightening to read about the battles, to learn the history, she says, but what separates a true enthusiast from a curious reader is the desire to come as close to the experiences of the embattled American citizens as possible.
"You can read all the books you want about a battle, but until you actually see the terrain, the houses, the streets, the ground the soldiers walked over—it just brings it all into focus," she said.
Not convinced yet? Jana suggests taking a dusk tour of Guiney Station, the plantation where confederate General Stonewall Jackson died from pneumonia after being wounded.
Jana remembers the guide leading her tour group through the house, describing how Jackson suffered on his deathbed for eight days. The guide described the general's slow descent into delirium, and how, in the absence of his aides, his only company was a loudly ticking clock, which still sits in the room.
After entering the chamber, the guide solemnly repeated Jackson's last words—"Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees"—then fell silent. The clock's ticking in the quiet, as dark fell, created a racking feeling of loss that Jana had felt few times before.
"There was a three tour Vietnam vet that was in tears that night. We all were," she said. "It was just...awesome."
Jana has chased these genuine feelings since she was 12, when she read Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind." She doesn't remember why the book was so mesmerizing during that first read, but with each successive read she's more impressed with the author's accuracy, which is important to war enthusiasts.
To many, including Jana, accuracy includes a truthful portrayal of those who fought on the battlefields as well as figures who, for the most part, did not—civilians, African Americans and women, for instance.
BEHIND EVERY GREAT MAN—It's the civilian experience, rather than the great military campaigns, that Jana enjoys studying the most.
During the first 120 years of Civil War scholarship, most research focused on battles and the men that fought them, says Jana. But in the last 20 years, there have been more books about on the periphery of war life.
Many books focus on the roles women on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line assumed during the war. In the South, the war sparked a trend of female empowerment, Jana said.
"The women in many cases had never drawn their own baths or laundered their own clothes," she said.
As the crisis dragged on, funds dwindled, and women worked jobs that made laundry seem easy.
"They ran plantations, farms, munitions factories. They basically did what they had to do to keep their children alive and food on the table," said Jana.
"There are actually women who disguised themselves as soldiers and served. They didn't have thorough physical examinations like they do now," she added.
Women also helped by offering moral support to their husbands of high rank. General Grant, for instance, loved discussing plans with his wife, Julia, and preferred she stay near him whenever she could, Jana said.
HOMESPUN DRESS—About a year ago, Jana leapt from reading about the war and visiting historical sites, to trying her hand at designing era clothes.
With the help of her mother's sewing skills, she constructed three different dresses, with three different functions, over the past year.
While heavy wool Army uniforms can't have been comfortable in the summer heat, women didn't have it much better.
Jana explained that a typical day dress, which women wore in public or when they visited friends, required six undergarments.
Women started by donning a shoulder to knee-length chemise, then lacing a corset over it. Next came pantalettes, similar to long john underwear. After that was a petty coat, then a hoop skirt, then another petty coat, then finally the dress.
Because they were so hard to wash, the goal was to keep the dress as far away from the skin as possible to prevent human odors and fluids from soiling it, Jana said.
It seems like a lot to wear for a summer stroll, but Jana said dresses were made with breathable cotton, so it wasn't that bad, Jana said, adding that the back and forth motion of the hoop skirt creates a nice fanning effect.
Women on their way to an evening ball had a nit more ventilation. It was considered unfashionable to be seen sleeveless in public before 3 p.m., evening gowns were high-sleeved and low cut—a lot more risqué.
And risky. Hoop skirts were highly flammable, and, this, combined with how unnaturally far away from the body a skirt hangs can spell trouble, said Jana. Candles and lit fireplaces posed the greatest danger.
Adding to the hazard is the fact that other, women, similarly clothed, couldn't help extinguished a lit hoop skirt.
This is why women wore a third kind of dress—a camp dress—around the house. These dresses still weren't casual, but they didn't include a hoop skirt, so they weren't as unsafe.
For Jana, learning these small details is part of what makes Civil War enthusiasm so enjoyable. That, and it gives her a social acceptable excuse to wear hoop skirts, something she has always enjoyed.– July 19, 2006
Want to know more about some of the less frequently told tales of the Civil War? Don't know where to get started? Here are a few of Jana's favorite reads.
• "A Strange and Blighted Land: Gettysburg, the Aftermath of the Battle," by Gregory A. Coco. The story of Gettysburg didn't end after the Confederates retreated and the fighting stopped. The bodies of 7,000 soldiers lay rotting in the summer sun, while more than 40,000 wounded—10 times Gettysburg's population—were in need of treatment. Over the next several months, villagers became acquainted with unimaginable amounts of sickness and death.
• "Hardtack and Coffee: The Unwritten Story of Army Life," by John D. Billings. Authored by a Union Army veteran and originally published in 1888, "Hardtack and Coffee" is a light-hearted, and often humorous, look at the life of a common foot soldier. The book chronicles how soldiers dealt with the constant menace of fleas, devised ways to make Army chow edible, and endured long days on the march.
• "Intimate Strategies of the Civil War: Military Commanders and their Wives," edited by Carol Bleser and Lesley Gordon. An array of noted historians contribute essays documenting the relationships between 12 prominent Union and Confederate generals and their wives. Among other tidbits, readers will learn of how Mary Anna Jackson implored her husband, Stonewall, to dress more fashionably, and how General "Cump" Sherman couldn't ever see eye-to-eye with his spouse, Ellen.
• "Mothers of Invention: Women of the Slave-holding South in the American Civil War," by Drew Gilpin Faust. While their husbands and sons were fighting in the war, the ladies of the Antebellum south found a variety of new responsibilities thrust upon them. Many went from an outrageously pampered life to one where they were forced to toil in the fields, discipline insubordinate slaves, cope with sporadic food shortages—essentially everything they had taken for granted from their husbands, many of whom never returned from the war.
• "Richmond Burning: The Final Days of the Confederate Capital," by Nelson Lankford. Why, exactly, was Richmond in flames when Union forces arrived there in April 1865? Lankford explores the legend surrounding the blaze, and documents numerous stories and myths that came into being during the last, frantic days of the Confederacy—including Abraham Lincoln's legendary visit to the residence of General George Pickett.

A way of describing someone who is intentionaly and openly emotional via daily status updates, but hates it when someone adds comments, as if they are the victim. The kind of people that would support the addition of the Hate button.
She does this all the time, she is such a facemo chick!
by Thechevan July 11, 2011
Facemo. The art of habitually spewing gloom and doom about one's life via status update. Like emo, this is reserved for people who seemingly have never posted something nice, funny, or ironic.
"Look, I too am borderline ready for a mental institution, but you don't see me getting all facemo." "Really, would it kill you to post something like the video of two monkey's bonking on the hood of a car?"

Creating a Little Extra Workspace in a Small Kitchen
When my sister moved into her new apartment last year, the biggest reservations she had were about the tiny kitchen. Though the checkerboard floor and the vintage metal cabinets have a lot of charm, the space itself is much smaller than the kitchens she had in the past. Combine the lack of counterspace with years of bad paint jobs that make the cabinet doors almost impossible to truly close, and you get a room that has slowly been driving her crazy.
Now that I'm home on vacation, my sister looked to me for suggestions on how to make this small kitchen better suit her admittedly limited cooking needs. A quick glance at the second photo above is enough to reveal the main problem- the toaster oven that she uses almost daily takes up almost half of her available counterspace. Luckily for my sister, the kitchen contained an under-utilized area that we were able to convert to much needed shelving.
The strange configuration of this old building created a small nook to the left of the stove where my sister stores her trashcan and recycling. The space above that area was completely unused so we decided to put up two shelves to hold the toaster oven and the herb gaden that had been living on the dining room table. A quick trip to our local hardware store yielded the shelves (which they cut to size for us) and the brackets, and an hour later we had almost doubled the available counterspace in my sister's kitchen.
Not a big project certainly, but one that highlights that sometimes it only takes a little change to have a big impact on the way you use a space. Now that the countertop is clear and the shelf hanging was a success, we are looking to install another above the door to hold the cookbooks and cereal boxes that currently live on top of the microwave (which itself lives on top of the fridge). If anyone has other ideas on ways to add a little storage and utility to a small kitchen, we're all ears; tips on how to make the cabinet doors fucntion properly without completely stripping and repainting them would also be appreciated!

Which Diva Had a Nightclub Freak Out?
This award-winning performer went crazy on the DJ at a club for playing a disco remix of one of her departed friend's songs. These married (not to each other) celebs, who had an affair in the past, are planning a project so they can get together again. This A-lister never learned his driver's name. That sounds par for the course.
1. "One of my favorite all time divas has herself quite the mouth. She also has certain beliefs about what songs should be played and what songs should not. Our diva used to be A list back in the day and is probably still and will always be a B list. She is also a nominee/winner of the big one. Anyway she was at a club and this disco version of a classic song comes on. Our diva goes over to the DJ and starts screaming at him. Oh, this is after she has hurled a cocktail glass at him and the glasses of all her companions. 'Don't you ever play that fucking song again. If you do, I will have you fired. She is turning over in her grave.' She then went back to the table and did a line of coke." [CDaN]
2. "These two performers had a hot fling years ago. Now they are both 'happily' married to other people… and they are having another hot fling with each other! They are very quietly trying to book a project together so that they will have a legitimate excuse for spending time together. If they succeed, watch for them to express surprise that the other is committed to the project as well, to express only mild pleasure that they will be working together, and to act like it's no big deal. If their spouses knew what was really going on, though, believe us, it would be a very big deal!" [Blind Gossip]
3. "This source comes from the driver of a long time A list actor. According to the driver, it took twenty years until the actor actually asked the driver what his name was." [BuzzFoto]

One look at Allison Gay�s calendar could make anyone dizzy.
One look at Allison Gay�s calendar could make anyone dizzy.
College student, mother, volunteer, student body president, scholarship recipient all with their own list of responsibilities. Now one more thing can be added to her list of accolades: Carteret Community College�s Academic Excellence winner for 2014.
Gay, 35, of Newport, is a student in the two-year associate in applied science degree in Respiratory Therapy from which she will graduate from in May.
�I like the patient care that I actually get to assist with,� she said. �With respiratory I am zoned into one system and involved in the patient care. If you can help somebody breathe that�s big.�
Gay was nominated for the Academic Excellence award by Curriculum Area Coordinator for Respiratory Therapy Trisha Miller, RCP, Gay�s closest mentor in the program.
�That made it all the more special,� Gay said of knowing that Miller nominated her.
Miller said the award is not only a consideration of Gay�s Grade Point Average, but also her extracurricular activities outside of the classroom.
Gay started out as the representative for the Respiratory Care Club for the Student Government Association; then from there she became President of the SGA.
She was also chosen to be the college�s mentee to pair up with a board member of the North Carolina Society For Respiratory Care.
�That was really cool,� Gay said. She added that her experience at the school has been really positive.�They�re so receptive here. The classmates really motivate each other.�
Miller said Gay has always shown leadership � in her classes getting together fundraisers or putting study groups together; and also the wider campus.
�I find it amazing that she�s been involved in all the stuff she�s been involved in and makes the good grades and can still be so involved with her daughter,� Miller said.
Gay not only serves on the SGA, puts in time for clinicals and studying for school, but finds time to be involved at her church and take her 8-year-old daughter Gabby to piano and gymnastics.
�My calendar is pretty booked,� she laughed. �But I wouldn�t have it any other way. I�ve had a very supportive boyfriend who has been there for me like a rock the last four years and I want to be there for Gabby.�
On campus, Gay is regularly involved in organizing on-campus activities, according to Miller.
Gay put on a CPR blitz, where students at the college were taught the basics of CPR.
�Knowing that we taught them, that was very rewarding� Gay said. �As SGA we wanted to focus on life lessons.�
Gay also helped organize a one-day event for breast cancer awareness which included bringing over experts from Carteret General, participants going on a walk to raise awareness, and pink carnations being thrown into the sound in honor or memory of those affected by breast cancer. Miller said Gay is also highly involved in other student government activities, such as adopting a family for Christmas and blood drives.
�She�s just real dedicated to helping people and it�s just exciting being her teacher because she�s one of those students that really strives to do her best in what she does,� Miller said.
The respiratory therapy program takes an �extreme level of dedication,� according to Miller � clinical shifts last 12 hours and most students do them two days a week. Miller said Gay manages to balance her family life, clinical work and extracurricular activities, such as her involvement at her church.
Michelle Williams, SGA treasurer and a fellow student in Respiratory Therapy Program, said she thinks Gay deserves the award because of her passionate and outgoing personality.
�She brings good things to the college,� Williams said of Gay�s work with the SGA, as they both worked giving water and cookies to blood donors at the campus blood drive the first week in February.
Williams said Gay is also a good leader and not afraid to fight for what she believes in. She also said Gay is caring.
�If she sees someone who needs help, she�s not afraid to jump in and help,� Williams said.
Gay has also been awarded the Goldenleaf Foundation Scholarship, the P.E.O. Scholarship, the Taylor Foundation Scholarship, the NC Association of Respiratory Educators Tom Morris Scholarship, and most recently as a $1,000 Transportation Impact Scholarship which helped her and her family in many ways.
�The grades matter,� Gay said, explaining that if she doesn�t keep her grades up, she cannot qualify for the scholarships she needs to help her through school.
Also, students have to keep certain grades to stay in the program.
�As a nontraditional student I had already reached my Pell grant limit,� she said. �I would not have been able to complete these programs without the scholarship support that helped pay for tuition, books, clinical, and living expenses. I�m very grateful for the help.�
Gay said her Gabby is her reason for doing this, for going to school.
�Everyone�s goal in life is to create a better life not only for themselves but their family,� she said.
As CCC�s Academic Excellence Award winner, Gay will represent the college at a meeting of all academic excellence winners from across the state later this year in Raleigh. She will also be recognized at the college�s annual Awards Night ceremony in May.
�It was a privilege even to be nominated,� she said. But something that�s keeping all the Respiratory Therapy students excited is the impending graduation � Gay�s even keeping count. �Less than 90 days.�

Equipment Round Up February 2009 - Pumps and Fluid Handling
February's Equipment Round Up focuses on pumps and fluid handling products.
Self-flushing sanitary pump
The G&L Series GSP sanitary pumps are used in the food and beverage industry where clean and slightly charged, polluted abrasive or viscous liquids are to be transferred. The pumps are available in 10 casing sizes in two ranges to match pump performance to hydraulic requirements, providing the best system efficiency and lowest energy use. Featuring all electropolished stainless steel parts, they have an extremely low micro-roughness, resulting in substantially increased resistance to the adhesion of product. A large seal cavity is designed so there is enough turbulence to clean the inner seal of the pump, while an open seal chamber provides internal self-flushing.
Goulds Pumps/ITT; Morton Grove, Ill.
847-966-3700; www.goulds.com
Transmit in stainless
Micro Motion 2400S transmitters now come in a 316L stainless steel housing as an option to the standard polyurethane-painted aluminum housing. The integral mounting transmitters also can be ordered with DeviceNet or Profibus communication protocols. Rated to IP66 and IP67, the corrosion-resistant housing is ideal for applications where instruments are subjected to regular caustic washdowns, as in the food and beverage industry. The integral mounting transmitter removes the need for remotely mounted transmitters in a non-wash down or safe area enclosure, simplifying the installation and reducing costs.
Emerson Process Management; Boulder, Colo.
800-854-8257; www.emersonprocess.com
Single-tube coriolis
Excellent reproducibility and high accuracy are hallmarks of the Promass S, a single-tube coriolis meter that measures both flow and density. Reduced shear means less stress on your products. The unit requires no inlet or outlet straight run piping and eases concern over pressure loss with highly viscous fluids (it's suitable for slurries, heavy solids, gels and pastes). It meets 3-A, EHEDG and other FDA guidelines for food plant use.
Endress+Hauser; Greenwood, Ind.
317-535-7138; www.us.endress.com
Affordable pump
As companies within the food and beverage processing industry seek ways of improving plant efficiency, ProCam Smart is an affordable positive displacement pump. It has all the proven benefits of the company's metering/dosing technology but with the added attraction of a low initial investment cost. It is designed for a range of general purpose metering duties and uses standard components throughout. For processing plants where a number of these pumps are in operation, this means potential savings can be made on stockholding and maintenance.
Bran+Luebbe/SPX Corp.; Charlotte, N.C.
704-752-4400; www.spx.com
Precise metering
The Masterflex P/S line of digital peristaltic pumping systems includes standard digital drive, a computerized drive or a stainless steel NEMA 4X process drive. Repeatability of 0.1 percent maximizes productivity in precision feed, batch dispensing and filling applications. A turndown ratio upwards to 6,000-to-1 provides users with substantial flexibility in volume and time of dispense in addition to a smooth, seamless operation and an extremely broad flow range within a single tubing size. Flow capacities are 0-54 GPH.
Thermo Fisher Scientific; Barrington, Ill.
847-842-2367; www.thermo.com/fluidhandling
High solid pumps
High solids pumps dramatically reduce the costs of transferring biomass slurries and DDGS by-products when compared to expensive, maintenance-prone conveyor systems. These pumps represent significant advances in technology in that they easily handle abrasive and corrosive DDGS applications. In addition, they eliminate odors and spillage typically found with open conveyor systems, reduce capital and maintenance costs (due to the closed pipe system and fewer moving parts) and extend service life.

This exercise is designed to evaluate the capability of the Niagara Falls ARS to respond to a hypothetical accident involving mass casualties; evaluate the effectiveness of the emergency response plan, and test and evaluate mutual aid agreements with first responders from Niagara County.
Actors will be dressed as the wounded victims of the simulated crash to give the first responders an accurate feel of the event.
Members of the 914th and 107th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard will participate alongside state and county emergency response agencies.

MP Sir Alan Meale has launched a blistering attack on the district council - claiming that its mismanagement of the town centre is putting Mansfield at risk.
The Mansfield MP contacted Chad to express his concerns over the still-empty Queen's Place development and claimed that the district authority is standing in the way of new businesses coming to the town.
Sir Alan, who last year produced a 50-point blueprint to boost the district, said potential firms are being put off by sky-high business rates and overly long lease terms - with around 132,000 square feet of office and retail space currently empty in Mansfield.
He told Chad that due to delays in completion of the £2.4m Queen's Street development, the district council should have had tenants ready to move in when the build was officially opened in November.
Sir Alan said: "Last year I produced a report which expressed the worries and fears of local businesses about the lack of clear thinking.
"Worryingly, so far all that has happened has been the response that everything will be okay now that the Queen's Street building has been completed. Although this occurred some months ago, even a rental level for the lease of the property hasn't yet been set, nor tenants found to fill it.
"At the moment, all that it represents is yet another set of empty shops and offices in the town centre. The fact that it has a grass roof cannot detract from this fact.
"If the district council was a business it would have gone bust - the future of Mansfield is at stake here."
In his report, Sir Alan recommended moves such as more free parking, a limit on charity shops, cheaper market stall rent and new cycle parks for the town centre. But the authority said many of his ideas were already being carried out.
Coun Kate Allsop, portfolio holder for economic regeneration, said: "The town centre is making steady progress and we should all be proud of the fact that we are seeing somewhat of a revival. Recent figures for the number of empty units have decreased below the national average and we have soared up the national retail rankings from 135 to 112."

Commander, Take It To The Bridge - Larrivée Guitars In Space
Commander, Take It To The Bridge - Larrivée Guitars In Space
Wonderful stuff from the Commander of the International Space Station Chris Hadfield, covering David Bowie's 'Space Oddity'. He released it yesterday, just as he hands over control of the station.
An avid musician and proud Canadian it's no surprise he's happy playing a guitar made in his home country, the Larrivée P-02. While that particular model is discontinued Larrivée are still going strong. Delivering high grade instruments that don't break the bank.
He's also working on an album, the first to be recorded on orbit but certainly not the first to be made using Shure microphones and Cakewalk DAW.
We speculate that Chris might be breaking another couple of records too:Most intensive flight for a guitar - While the ISS may "only" be around 200-300 miles above the earth it can take hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel to break out the earth's atmosphere. Compare that to 36,000 for a 10 hour flight in a 747.
Most expensive music video - At $150 billion the ISS is the most expensive set for a music video ever. OK, it serves a few other purposes too but it's still a pretty impressive backdrop.

One of the main things they do is a raffle for a free car wash every Friday. I was lucky enough to win the last one!! Things like that really show how much we are appreciated and show how much they appreciate us.
I have worked at a lot of places where they just treat their employees as numbers but here everyone is treated as an individual and is glorified for their accomplishments. And I think that shows in how we treat ever person that we talk to on the phone.

That was my response. After all these years, how can you claim - with a straight face - that Apple is not fighting the jailbreaking community? Well, you can make this claim if you focus on one particular aspect of this supposed fight against jailbreakers; namely, the aspect which doesn't have to have anything to do with jailbreaking.
Jailbreaking works by finding a vulnerability in the iOS, and gaining root access to the operating system via that vulnerability. Once you have root access, you can use the iOS to its fullest potential, instead of the more limited potential Apple approves its users to use. Jailbreaking provides little to no benefit to ordinary, non-geek users (I advise my non-geek friends not to jailbreak), but for a geek like me with Android-envy, it's a godsend.
Back to John Gruber. A few days ago, Colin Gibbs published an article in which he argues that Apple should cease its fight against the jailbreaking community. He also states that more or less allowing jailbreaking - implicitly - could help sell iPhones. "Apple can simply say, 'We don't support that garbage', maintain its policy that jailbreaking automatically voids warranties and remain unsoiled in the public eye," he argues.
Gruber took offence to this one, claiming that Apple doesn't fight the jailbreak community at all. "Apple isn't 'fighting' jailbreaking," he argues, "They simply don't support it. iOS 4.0.2 fixed a serious security vulnerability. By arguing that Apple shouldn't have bothered doing so, Gibbs is implicitly arguing that Apple shouldn't fix security vulnerabilities. It's that simple."
This is the one aspect I mentioned earlier. Indeed, most of Apple's apparent fight against jailbreaking revolves around fixing the security vulnerabilities that jailbreakers use to gain root access to their phones. As such, one could argue, as Gruber does, that Apple is not fighting jailbreaking - it is merely fixing security vulnerabilities.
And I have a unicorn.
Of course Apple is fighting jailbreaking. While the fixing of security vulnerabilities that allow jailbreaking isn't proof enough (or at all), there's this other pesky affair in which Apple pretty much flat-out admitted - for all the world to see - that it takes jailbreaking very seriously, and that it intends to fight the practice every step along the way.
Let's back up for a second. Every three years, the US Copyright Office accepts requests for exemptions to the DMCA, the US law which, among other things, makes it illegal to circumvent DRM schemes and copyright protection mechanisms. In 2008, the Electronic Frontier Foundation submitted a request to have jailbreaking added to the list of exemptions. This request covered all mobile phones - not just Apple's.
After requests are sent in and made public, comments can be sent in. Only one mobile phone maker bothered to counter the Electronic Frontier Foundation's exemption request: Apple. And they countered hard, with an infamous FUD-attack involving crashing transmission towers and several "think of the children"-arguments.
Apple fought hard to maintain jailbreaking as an illegal activity, and now Gruber is seriously arguing that all this was, well, just a joke? Didn't happen? A figment of our collective imagination? I guess we're seeing revisionist history in the making here. Fascinating.
As we now know, Apple lost. The Copyright Office sided with the EFF; jailbreaking is considered fair use for US residents. This is great news. Of course, your warranty should void when you jailbreak your phone; this is only natural. However, Apple's documented fight to keep jailbreaking illegal shows - quite clearly - that the company takes it seriously, and is actively fighting the practice.
Arguing otherwise is either ignorant, or deliberately misleading.

"Saturday Night Live" said goodbye to its longest serving "Weekend Update" anchor and head writer Seth Meyers this weekend. His last "Update" before moving on to NBC's "Late Night" was packed with jokes about the Atlanta winter storm fiasco, President Obama's State of the Union speech as well as a surprise visit from former cast members.
Meyers kicked off the "Update" with a report about a rare winter storm that paralyzed Atlanta last week, stranding some people in cars for two days, despite only two inches of accumulation. He then introduced a survivor of the storm, who described the snow as "devil's dandruff," "Connecticut confetti," "New England clam powder" and "Obama's white friend."
About Obama's speech, Meyers said, "This week President Obama delivered the State of the Union address, while Joe Biden just delivered," showing a photo of a grinning vice president sitting behind Obama.
At the end of the segment, Meyers joked about a Montana man who was wearing a baseball hat with the word "Weed" on it when he got arrested after police found six pounds of marijuana in his car.
"Police knew where to look for the drugs because his shirt said, '...Is In the Trunk,'" Meyers joked.
Co-anchor Cecily Strong pointed out that the joke was Meyers' last on the show. That's when former "Update" anchor and correspondent Amy Poehler and Bill Hader as Stefon, appeared to welcome Meyers "to the other side" and to send him off with some advice for the future.
"The world outside 'SNL' is weird, and cool," said Poehler, mentioning that "opportunity, new adventures, new friends," are in store for him.
Stefon introduced himself with the last name Meyers and affectionately referred to Meyers himself, as "his man," instantly reminding the audience of his farewell episode where Meyers broke up his wedding with Anderson Cooper.
Andy Samberg also appeared at the end of the segment attempting to serenade Meyers with Boys II Men's, "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye."
Meyers, who started on the show in 2005 and is the second longest-serving castmember in "SNL's" history, will go on to take Jimmy Fallon's spot on "Late Night," as Fallon heads to "The Tonight Show."
"I just want to say being out here with my co-anchors and my dear friends and my husband [Stefon], it's the perfect time to end," said Meyers. "This is the job I always wanted and I had the best time and met the best people and I just want to thank the crew and the cast and especially the writers and Lorne [Michaels]. Thank you very much."
Melissa McCarthy who returned as host for the third time, because she was "already in town," maintained her role of a not-so-typical woman throughout the show, including her recurring character of congresswoman Sheila Kelly, an easily-angered politician. This time around she spoofed Staten Island Rep. Michael Grimm, who made headlines last week when he threatened a reporter after President Obama's State of the Union address.
The show's cold open mocked Fox Sports Superbowl anchors Howie Long (Beck Bennet), Michael Strahan (Jay Pharoah) and JImmy Johnson (Bobby Moynihan) who reported that Super Bowl halftime performers, Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers could not take the stage due to the polar vortex. Luckily, a musical number straight from Broadway about Bronco's quarterback Peyton Manning was available fill in, they said. McCarthy played the team coach and encouraged the Broncos and the Seahawks that regardless of who wins the big game, "there's just love."
During McCarthy's opening monologue, Bobby Moynihan spoke out from the audience about how mean she was last time she hosted.
"Suck it, McCarthy!" he said before they rolled incriminating footage of her.
"I'm out of here," she said in the video, shoving Moynihan aside. "I got my check and I'm going home."
From there, the two sparred while suspended in the air.
Shedding light on the Black History Month, Jay Pharoah, Kenan Thompson and newest castmember Sasheer Zamata rapped "28 Reasons to Hug a Black Guy," in front of their high school class. Reason number one was "because we deserve a chance," and two through 28 were "slavery."
Musical guest Imagine Dragons performed "Demons" and their Grammy-winning hit, "Radioactive," featuring Kendrick Lamar.
"Saturday Night Live" will resume March 1, after the Winter Games.

Mr. mintz should look into an LLM and a JPS (I believe these are the right letters for a Law PhD). That's where you're going to get the academic stuff that he wants that doesn't mean jack in the practice of law.
Law is the opposite of every other professional degree. In law, you receive your J.D. (Juris Doctorate) before receiving (if someone chooses to get it) and LLM (Master of Laws). So, law school is backward, you get your doctorate and then your masters.
JD = Juris Doctor not Doctorate

One of UCLA's most promising receivers is growing. Literally.
When Thomas Duarte caught three touchdowns last season to tie a school freshman record, he stood at 6-foot-3 plus a quarter inch. Since then, he's grown to nearly 6-foot-4, and gained around five pounds to 228.
"I'm a whole different player now," he said this week. "I'm bigger, faster, stronger. My knowledge of the game is better."
Duarte left Thursday's practice on crutches after appearing to sprain his ankle, but that shouldn't do much to derail what could be a big sophomore season. Quarterback Brett Hundley has plenty of targets, but none with as much size or range as the former Mater Dei High standout.
This offseason, he's spent time watching film on both NFL and former college receivers.
Two names he's focused on: Gerell Robinson, who caught for 1,397 yards and seven touchdowns for Arizona State in 2011; and North Carolina's Eric Ebron, a second-team All-American tight end who is projected to go in the first round of next month's NFL draft.
"He's one player I really admire and I try to model my game after," Duarte said of Ebron. "He's a big slot receiver like I am, but he can also put his hand in the ground."
Duarte has also studied former Bruins Joseph Fauria and Darius Bell, as well as Hines Ward, Larry Fitzgerald, Brandon Marshall — a trio that has combined for 17 Pro Bowls. The rising sophomore praised their body control, as well as their "knack for (finding) the open spots."
Need for speed
Asked if he was the fastest receiver on the team, Kenneth Walker did one better: "Fastest person on the team."
The redshirt sophomore missed all of last season after having back surgery last June, but said he feels 100 percent again apart from occasional spasms. The key for him now is focusing on his catching technique, as well as his routes and releases.
Adrenaline rush
Tensions ran high in Thursday's practice, peaking with a massive scuffle that required head coach Jim Mora to stop practice.
When defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was asked about having to break up the scrum, his eyes widened.
"It brings me back to my playing days," Ulbrich said. "I kind of like it. Maybe too much. The potential of someone hitting me … it was awesome."
Bruin bites
Early enrollee Zach Whitley practiced a bit at outside linebacker this spring, but the experiment didn't go particularly well. The four-star recruit looks far more comfortable inside, and will remain there for the foreseeable future. … The prospect of linebacker Myles Jack spending some time on offense tantalizes fans, but running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu said his efforts have been fruitless. "I've been told, 'Stay away,' " he said.
