7 Claims.
This invention relates to apparatus for annealing articles, and more particularly to a regenerative water heating system for annealing furnaces.
Water seals are frequently used for preventing the entrance of air into annealing furnaces, since such seals are cheap andeifective. Due to the difference in temperature of the tap water generally employed in water'seals and the annealing gas in the heatingc'hamber of the furnace, aconsiderable amount of heat is absorbed by the water in the water seal When the heated water from the seal is withdrawn through an overflow pipe, the heat absorbed by the water is lost.
An object of this invention is to provide apparatus for annealing articles and more particularly to provide a regenerative water heating system for annealing furnaces.
In general, the invention comprises an annealing furnace having a water seal for sealing the furnace from the atmosphere, and means for spraying water from the Water seal upon hot articles in the furnace to cool them, said means being so located that the water flows from th hot articles into the water seal.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description thereof, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which the single figure represents a schematic sectional view of an annealing furnace.
In the particular embodiment of the invention disclosed in the accompanying drawing, an annealing furnace is provided with a housing III which encloses a chamber II divided by a bafile I2 into a heating area I4and a'cooling area I5.
, An endless conveyor I! located within the housing I comprises a motor driven sprocket I6 which is rotated at a constant spee'dand which, in turn, drives a chain I8 and a wheel I9. The wheel I9 acts merely as a tensioning wheel for the chain I8 and is located in a pit 20 which is normally-filled with water, thus providing a water seal to preventthe entrance of air into the chamber II A plurality of spool carriers 2I--2I are equally spaced upon the chain l8 for carrying through thechamber II coils of oxidizable metal wire weighing as much as 600 pounds wound on spools 2222. A drum 23 formed on the sprocket I6 holds the spools 2222 in position on the spool carriers 2I-2I while they are passing over the sprocket I6.
- A charging trench 24 provided with a cover'25 is formed in one side of the pit 20 and is filled with water from the pit 2II. The spools 2222 are fed down the charging trench 24 into the pit 20 and upon the conveyor H :by means of an' intermittently moving conveyor 26 which comprises a pair of sprockets 21 and 28 connected by a chain 29. A number of cross bars 3II30 are spaced along the chain 23 so as to permit spools 2222 to be positioned therebetween. When a spool ,22v is fed from the conveyor 26 into the pit and onto the conveyor I1, stops 3|, 32 and 33 position the spools 2222 so that they are 1 enaged by the spool carriers 2I2 I.
The spools 2222 are moved upwardly through the heating area I4 in which electrical heating means 31 are located. The particular type of heating means employed does not constitute part of this invention, but one type of heating means that has proved satisfactory comprises a plurality of heating coils arranged in a grid-like formation and disposed so as to form three heating areas. In the cooling area I5 opposite the heating area I4 are positioned a plurality of spray nozzles 347-34 which are supplied with water pumped from the body of'water forming the seal in the pit 20 by a Dump 3-5. The pump 35 is an impeller type pump having an inlet pipe 36 extending below the surface of the water in the pit 20, and pumps the water up through a pipe 38 to branchpipes 3939 which feed the nozzles 34-34. A- trip 40 is so disposd relative to the path of movement of the spools 22 through, the heating chamber II that it rolls the spools from the spool carriers 2I2l through an opening 43 in the housing III onto a discharge apron 4| and into a discharge drum 42. A rotating discharge valve 44 positioned within the drum 42 has two recesses 45-45 formed therein for receiving the spools 2222. A pocket 46 is formed in each recess 45 for the purpose of carrying a spool deposited therein to a rack 48. The recesses 45-45 in the rotating member 44 are so formed that the opening 43 is always closed and the heating chamber I I thus is sealed from the atmosphere.
In operating a furnace such as that shown in the accompanying drawing, spools 2222 carry- 4; ing coils of wire made of an oxidizable metal, such as copper, are introduced into the charging trench 24, and are inserted in the conveyor 26 one at a time. The water in the water seal-is initially heated by passing steam intoit, so that 50 asv the conveyor 26 moves the spools 2222 slowly down the charging trench 24, the coils of wire carried 'by the spools become heated through to about the temperature ofthe water in the water seal, which is about F. to about 200 F., and the occluded gases in the wire coils expand due "and are forced from the coils by The intermittent movement of the to the water.
' conveyor 26 is timed so that a spool from the the heating means is located at a rate of movement such that the wire carried by the spools 22-22 becomes thoroughly heated to the proper temperature by the time it reaches the sprocket I6. Since the wire coils on the spools are preheated nearly to the boiling point of water before entering the heating area l4, the spools may be moved up past the heating means much faster than if the wire were not preheated and were wetted by relatively cold 'water having a temperature of about 40 F. to about 70 F. The drum '23 formed ,on the sprocket it supports the heated spools 22-22 as they pass over the top thereof into the cooling area IS. The conveyor I1 moves the spools carrying the coiled wire downwardly through the cooling area I5 advancing the spools 22-22 past the cooling nozzles 34-34 located therein which are supplied with heated water from the pit 23 by the pump through the pipes 36, .33 and 33-33. When the water from the nozzles 34-34 is sprayed upon the hot coils of wire carried on the spools 22-22,
The generation of steam in this manner has two beneficial effects: First, the steam provides a non-oxidizing atmosphere within the chamber II which prevents oxidation of the wire that is being treated. Second, it permits the maintenance of a slight steam pressure within the chamber ll whichis desirable since it prevents any air from entering therein. The heat absorbed by the water in the water seal is utilized to preheat the wire on the spools as they are advanced down the charging trench 24, and is further useful in promoting rapid evaporation of the water ejected from the nozzles 34-34. Since ordinarily tap water has a temperature of approximately 40 F. to F., when it is sprayed onto the hot coils of wire it is so cool that it cools the coils of wire or portions thereof belowthe boiling point of water and thus permits the cold water to flow into the convolutions of the coils, so that the coils of wire are wet when elected from the furnace. Conversely, when the heated' water from the water seal is sprayed onto the hot coils of wire, this water is so near its boiling point that it cannot cool the coils of wire below this temperature and, consequently, no water can remain upon the wire which is ejected, cooled and dried from the furnace.
The water that flows from. the spools 22-22, the water that does not strike the spools 22-22, and the water that is formed by the condensation of steam on the side walls*of the chamber II is collected in the pit 20. Enough heat is absorbed by the water that runs off after striking the hot spools 22-22 to maintain the temperature of the water in the pit 20 betweenabout 190 F. and
about 200 F., so that after the furnace has been longer be heated by steam introduced therein. In order 'to prevent the water in the pit 20 from rising above 200 F., which would cause excessive generation of steam, it is advisable to provide a small flow 05 cold water into the pit 23, which also maintains the water level constant and compensates for water lost due to evaporation.
The spools 22-22 pass downwardly past the nozzles 34-34 until they strike-the'trip 40 which is positioned so as to roll the spools 22-22 one at a time from the spool carriers 2l-2l .onto the apron 4| and through the opening-43 into the from the time a spool enters the charging trench 24 until it is ejected from the drum 42 is greatly reduced by the use of the regenerative water heating system disclosed in the accompanying drawing. There are several reasons why this remarkable reduction in the time required for the annealing operation is thus effected. In the first place, wire passed through a water seal containing cold water is cold when introduced into the heating area and both the cold wire, weigh-' inr, up to 600 pounds, and the cold water clinging thereto must be gradually heated. The hot water in the water seal, forming part of the above described regenerative water heating system, preheats the wire coiied'upon the spools 22-22 to about 200 F., and when the preheated coils of wire are carried by the conveyor l1 into the heating area l4, the hot water still clinging to the wire is quickly heated to the boiling point and evaporated, thus leaving the wire completely dry. Since the wire coils are preheated to about 200 F. before they enter the heating area l4, and
because the hot water that remains on'the wire.
is already at a temperature near its boiling point, considerably less time is required to heat the wire to the proper temperaturefor annealing than is the'case where the water in the water seal is cold and 400 to 600 pounds of wire and the water clinging thereto must be heated beginning at a temperature as low as 40 F.
Furthermore, when cold water is employed in the water seal and is constantly siphoned of! in large quantities, the heata'bsorbed by the water is continually being drained from the furnace. The heat thus lost is considerabl because the water absorbs a large amount of heat due to the high temperature of the annealing atmosphere within .the heating area l4 maintained by the electric time, and very little, if any, steam from an outside source is required.
What is claimed is:
1. In an annealing furnace, a regenerative water heating system comprising a water seal,
means for spraying water onto articles heated ing'the bottom of the heating chamber in the furnace to prevent entrance of air into the chamber, a plurality of spaced nozzles for directing sprays of water onto hot articles to cool them, the excess water flowing from the articles down into the water seal, and means for supplying the spraying means with water. from the water seal. 3, In an annealing furnace having an endless conveyor for carrying articles to be annealed, a water seal for preventing the entrance of air into the furnace, means for heating the water in the seal, and means for spraying heated water from the water seal upon the articles carried by the conveyor, said water seal being so located as to collect therein all of the water within the furnace.

King George files lawsuit to get land back from Project Faith
- Details
- Last Updated on Thursday, 10 October 2013 14:37
- Published on Thursday, 10 October 2013 14:37
- Hits: 2275
Breach of contract cited, fraud and misrepresentation alleged
King George County this week filed a lawsuit to get back a 5.53-acre parcel of land given to Project FAITH, Inc., in 2012 that asks the Circuit Court to rescind the Deed of Gift and Performance Agreement, "as though the subject deed and agreement never existed."
The 10-page legal complaint was filed late Monday, Oct. 7, with service to be delivered to Froncé Wardlaw, the developer's executive director and registered agent. Project FAITH has 21 days from the date of service to respond to the complaint.
While Project FAITH has recently threatened filing its own litigation against the county over the project, it is unclear whether it will attempt to defend the county's complaint and/or pursue other legal remedies.
The big issue with the project has always been lack of actual funding. The obvious question being asked by those following this topic is about where Project FAITH's money would come from to pay legal fees.
~ BREACH OF CONTRACT The primary fact in the complaint appears to be breach of contract due to Project FAITH's failure to meet its first major deadline under the two guiding legal documents, which was commencement of construction earlier this year, by Aug. 1.
The county's filing also recites facts that include a request by Wardlaw on Feb. 5 to ask for an extension of that first major deadline, which had originally been set for Feb. 28. She received that request to push the deadline to Aug. 1.
The county's filing also contends that the commencement of construction deadline "is not subject to cure." But it also states that an extended deadline was provided, saying Project FAITH, "made no effort to cure following its receipt of the county's default notice," which was sent on Aug. 2.
As of this week, neither the required documents nor payment have been submitted that would trigger issuance of a building permit or a land disturbance permit for any construction activity on the donated property.
The complaint also states that a previous deadline was not met for an annual report to be filed by Project FAITH by the end of each calendar year. Instead, two months late, at the Feb. 5 Supervisors meeting, Wardlaw provided a short handout and brief report on the status of the proposed HELP Center project, without providing details to questions asked by Supervisors about actual project funding.
~ LACK OF RESPONSIVENESS TO COUNTY Along those lines, the county's filing also cites a breach for "lack of responsiveness to county's request for information."
It notes that the required annual performance reports are to document, "prior to and during construction" that Project FAITH has "obtained and maintained appropriate funding for the project."
The complaint likewise notes that a July 1 letter to the developer requested such details be supplied. Instead, the filing alleges, that an Aug. 14 letter in response, "sought to obfuscate the issues, avoid responsibility and project blame upon others."
~ RECSCISSION BASED UPON FRAUD One of the counts in the county's filing is headed, "Rescission based upon Fraud."
Wardlaw's actions loom large in this area of the complaint in regard to the alteration of a letter that the county alleges she used to misrepresent the participation by Rappahannock Community College (RCC) as a major tenant in the proposed project by Project FAITH to construct a building and provide leased space restricted to local government agencies and non-profits.
The complaint further alleges that the representations regarding RCC's continuing commitment were made, "as a means of allaying any concerns among county officials regarding the financial viability of the facility" and, "a substantial rent-paying tenant in the facility."
The filing further alleges, "that Wardlaw intentionally altered the date of the RCC letter or directed it to be altered in an effort to conceal the fact that RCC's commitment to lease space was in question as of February 2013 (and perhaps earlier)."
It alleges that Project FAITH's and Wardlaw's conduct, "is willful, intentional and malicious in nature, and entitles the county to rescind the Deed of Gift and Performance Agreement," including their amendments.
~ ALTERED LETTER - BACKSTORY A letter of support had been written by RCC in March 2010 which was included in an application package for the first of two instances when the county sponsored applications to the state for federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding on behalf of Project FAITH, asking for infrastructure money for the proposed development project.
The 2010 CDBG application was intended to go toward construction of the project at different site, to be purchased by the developer, before the idea of asking the county for free land was floated. Both the 2010 and a 2013 CDBG grant requests were unsuccessful.
Flash forward from the time the RCC letter was written in 2010 to earlier this year:
Dahlgren Supervisor Ruby Brabo stated she was given the of letter support from RCC on May 6 of this year by Wardlaw.
Shortly after that, Brabo informed The Journal about the existence of the letter of support from RCC, following the appearance of a news report that RCC would not be part of the proposed project. Brabo offered a copy of the letter to the paper and supplied it.
Brabo had voted for the project at every instance and was a major proponent of the HELP Center project as evidenced by her public statements. She went on to post the letter on one of her websites, along with another document referred to as a HELP Center Operations Plan.
In early June, our editor asked an RCC board member about the letter of support and that's when the alteration was discovered. The RCC board member said the letter had been written two years earlier than the 2012 date on the first page.
When the letter was scrutinized, it was discovered that the date on the first page had been changed from 2010 to instead read 'March 30, 2012,' while the date on page two remained unaltered.
When this fact came to light, Brabo said she did not know who altered the letter, but she appeared surprised to learn that it was not genuine.
At that point, she pulled the items supporting the project from her website and subsequently turned the altered letter over to the county attorney.
As for Wardlaw, she admitted at the time that she gave the altered letter to Brabo, but stated, "Whether the change in the letter originated with me or not is irrelevant," she said. "Obviously it was in error. I will take full responsibility. I will not incriminate anyone else."
She made similar statements to Supervisors at a meeting on June 25, when she also provided an apology for the alteration of a letter in support of the HELP Center project.
She also admitted responsibility in a June 11 email to Brabo, while diminishing the fact of the alteration, and saying, "The letter has passed so many hands with funders and others that I cannot tell you exactly when the update occurred."
~ MORE BACKGROUND Prior to the fact of the alteration of the letter coming to light, Brabo had been one of three consistent supporters of the project on the Board of Supervisors, along with Cedell Brooks and John LoBuglio.
Dale Sisson and Joe Grzeika voted against giving county acreage to the private developer in June 2012, and also against extending the deadline for commencement of construction from Feb. 28, 2013 to Aug. 1, 2013.
Both had said all along they respected Wardlaw's vision, and her ability to get several phases of a low-income housing project completed, but they were skeptical about her ability to get funding for this non-residential proposal.
As stated above, there were facts coming from her regarding funding prospects all the way along. Another potential stumbling block was seen as the project's ability to secure and maintain tenants under the terms of the agreements with the county. Those include a tough lease restriction with a prohibition against "any and all for-profit and/or commercial uses" in the facility.
The documents also intend that Project FAITH must own and operate the facility in perpetuity, or reversion of the property to the county would occur. It states, "Company is solely responsible for the continued maintenance and operation of the Facility solely for its stated and intended purposes."

What causes oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy?
Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is caused by mutations in the PABPN1 gene. The PABPN1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is active (expressed) throughout the body. In cells, the PABPN1 protein plays an important role in processing molecules called messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which serve as genetic blueprints for making proteins. The protein acts to protect the mRNA from being broken down and allows it to move within the cell.[1]
Mutations in the PABPN1 gene that cause OPMD result in a PABPN1 protein that forms clumps within muscle cells, and hence they cannot be broken down. These clumps are thought to impair the normal function of muscle cells and eventually cause cells to die. The progressive loss of muscle cells most likely causes the muscle weakness seen in people with OPMD. It is not known why abnormal PABPN1 proteins seem to affect muscle cells in only certain parts of the body.[1]

Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (MO-4), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, was joined by elected officials and stakeholders from throughout Missouri as she hosted a Columbia roundtable on the importance of defense to the state and ways to highlight our missions in the event of a future Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process.
"When President Obama and the Department of Defense proposed a new round of BRAC in their 2013 and 2014 budgets I felt it was imperative that stakeholders in defense communities across our state be proactive in addressing this concern," said Hartzler. "As a member of the House Armed Services Committee I was able, along with my Missouri Senate colleagues – Senator Roy Blunt and Senator Claire McCaskill – to help squelch the BRAC proposal. But that may not always be the case in the future. With two major military installations in my district – Fort Leonard Wood and Whiteman Air Force Base – I feel it is important to bring together state and local officials as well as business and community leaders from throughout the Fourth District and the entire state to discuss strategy in the event of a BRAC round."
"A valuable part of this roundtable was a presentation of an Economic Impact Study on the importance of defense to Missouri," added Hartzler. "I thank the presenters and all who attended this meeting. It showed what a huge impact defense has on the economy of our state. National defense is not a partisan issue. We must work together to prepare our state for the possibility of any BRAC affecting our military installations and defense communities so that we can better articulate why our missions are vital and why new missions should come to our state. While we don't think a BRAC is in the interests of our country now, if it should come, we will be in a stronger position thanks to our joint efforts."
Congresswoman Hartzler, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, represents Missouri's Fourth Congressional District – home to Fort Leonard Wood and Whiteman Air Force Base.

The X Factor Recap: The Final Auditions Bring Some Massive Talent
September 29, 2011 06:59 PM by Lisa Princ
Simon Cowell, and the crew are back tonight for more auditions on The X Factor on Fox. With the final hopefuls from New York, New Jersey and around the nation, will they find talent, or will these hopefuls fall flat? Read on for all the highlights!
The X Factor was back tonight for the final audition episode. This time, they were in Newark, NJ for the New York/New Jersey auditions. Up first for the auditions was Brian, who claimed that in another five years, he would be bigger than Jay-Z. 14-year-old Brian Bradley called Simon out when Simon referred to him as a "mini L.A. Reid," and then he went on with his performance of "Stop Looking At My Mom" which was great. Brian had the entire audience and judging panel, with the exception of Simon, dancing along with him. Simon Cowell told Brian that he was the most arrogant and argumentative contestants, but he loved him, and all the other judges followed suit. L.A. Reid said that in all his years at Def Jam records, he was looking for Brian, but Brian never walked in. With 4 yes's Brian Bradley was moving on to the next round!
Then we watched many others sail through such as Kelly Warner, a hairdresser at a nursing home with a gorgeous voice, and Aaron Surgeon, who pulled off an Aerosmith tune for the panel. Liliana Rose Andreano worked her magic on the judges with "You Are My Sunshine," and Simon told her despite not looking like a singer, she was one of his favorite auditions of the day. 43-year-old Andy, who seemed to only be interested in getting a girlfriend, tried desperately to impress the judges with his rendition of "Hero." which was absolutely awful. All four judges told him no, but Simon assured him he would have an easier time with the ladies now.
And the horrible auditions continued, but then we met Clarissa, an office worker, who hoped she could impress the panel. Clarissa "Cashmere" Cheatham gave us her rendition of Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby," but it was not good, much to her dismay. Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul could not stop laughing, and then Simon insulted her by saying the people who scream when she sings karaoke were not screaming in compliment of her. Nouf Taraman was up next with a bad performance, and when the audience started to boo, she snapped at them. Jean Loup Wolfman, a life coach took the stage the next, and L.A. Reid told him he was lucky he couldn't hear himself! 58-year-old Maya Lehmann was hoping to impress with "We Are The Champions," but it was another awful audition, leaving us to wonder where all the East Coast talent was?
The X Factor auditions continued with New Jersey native, Cari Fletcher. 17-year-old Cari performed "Alone" by Heart and it was unbelievably good. Simon Cowell told her despite her great vocals, she was boring. But, this talented young lady managed to get all yes's. After a few more, quick yes's, a duo called Ausem was up next. Emily and Austin performed "Jar Of Hearts," and they were good. Simon Cowell loved them and gave them a yes. L.A. Reid said that he thought Austin was a star, and gave them a yes based on Austin only. Nicole Scherzinger also said she didn't think the duo worked, but she liked Austin and eventually gave them a yes. Ausem was sent through to the next round.
The X Factor continued with nationwide auditions, and the first up was Tora Waloshin, a student studying auto mechanics. With her tattoos and love of cars, Simon called her the "perfect girl," and Tora took control of the stage with her rendition of "I Want You Back" by The Jacksons, and she rocked it! This talented gal really impressed with her stage presence and star quality, and Simon Cowell told her that she could be something special. Needless to say, Tora was moving on! Jor-el Garcia was up next and very confident in his ability to impress. This character was more of performer than singer, as he had the crowd laughing to his performance of Madonna's "Lucky Star," but the judges were not impressed. Jor-el was sent packing after Simon told him he didn't know what was worse – his singing or dancing!
And the comical auditions continued with multiple hopefuls who thought they had the "moves" to impress – I thought this was a singing competition? The Stereo Hogzz were up next, a group of friends determined to prove they had The X Factor. This band had the moves and the vocals, although Simon said it was "over-rehearsed," everyone sent them through. 26-year-old model, Brennin Hunt was up next and he was super confident, or was it cocky? Brennin performed his very own tune that he wrote, and despite the fact that we thought his attitude would kill him, Brennin had a great voice. Simon Cowell said he could make Brennin into a great artist, and all the other judges loved him as well. Brennin was sent through to the next round.
Paige Elizabeth Ogle impressed with "You and I" by Lady GaGa, followed by 59-year-old Leroy Bell, who sang "Lean On Me" – both were sent through. The Brewer Boys, a duo of teen boys, as well as 14-year-old Nick Dean, who sang his own song were both sent through to the next round. Then we met 21-year-old Devon Talley, a retail worker, who hoped to impress with his performance of "Seasons Of Love," but it was awful. Devon's performance seemed to be never ending, but finally Simon Cowell called it off, and at that point, Devon blamed his nerves and said he had a second song. Then Devon began to sing again, despite the attempts to get him to stop – and he was quickly shut down and sent home.
With the auditions coming to a close, the final contestant was Jazzlyn Little. This 16-year-old came in extremely nervous. Jazzlyn seemed to have a low self esteem, but continued on with her audition of "I'm Going Down" by Mary J. Blige, and ironically her nerves went down as soon as she started to perform. Jazzlyn had an awesome voice and she rocked the stage, earning her a standing ovation. L.A. Reid told Jazzlyn that she even had a superstar name, while Paula called her a "gem and a star" and Simon said he wanted to see her with confidence. The judges obviously sent her through to the next round, so we will see Jazzlyn again.
Be sure to tune in next week for the start of Boot Camp on The X Factor on FOX!

SIZE: One Size 12 x 12 in. (30.5 x 30.5 cm)
CORRECTIONS: None
14 sts + 20 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette st (k on RS, p on WS). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch
1. Pillow is worked in one piece.
2. The piece is folded in half and seamed around a pillow form.
3. When working large blocks of color, twist yarns on WS when you change colors to prevent holes where colors meet.

Listen, I wasn't planning on writing another post on Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone today, but once I saw how flawless they looked at the world premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in London, how could I not?!
Andrew, Emma and the cast of their new movie shut down Leicester Square for the world premiere–and what a premiere it looked to be. The cast was all smiles as they posed for photos with fans, laughed together and even hung out with some Spider-Man look-a-likes.
Andrew even climbed in the lap of one.
Emma was clearly the belle of the ball in her yellow, Atelier Versace gown, featuring Swarovksi crystal enriched padded shoulders. I am loving the old Hollywood look she's got going on with the hair and the red lips. The men of the movie, Andrew, Jamie Foxx and Dane DeHaankept it simpler in their suits–but still sexy.
My favorite part of the whole event was that Andrew brought along his Kids City friends. Remember the kids he dressed up as Spider-Man for and played basketball with? Those kids! What lucky, lucky children.
Launch the gallery to check out all the photos from the red carpet. I'm calling it: Emma is the best dressed person I've seen all week. Can we all agree on this? Sound off in the comments below!
And just for good measure, please enjoy Emma freaking out over meeting Mel C of the Spice Girls after she and Andrew sing "Stop" together.

RUSTON - After being predicted to finish last in the preseason conference poll, Louisiana Tech aims to continue their impressive run this fall when they take on Seattle U tomorrow in the first round of the WAC Tournament to be held at the Chuck and Gloria Bell Soccer Field in Logan, Utah at 3:30 p.m. (CT).
The No. 4 seeded Lady Techsters (12-4-4) are participating in the conference tournament for only the second time in the program's eight-year history in the WAC. The previous time was in 2010 when LA Tech hosted the event and dropped a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Boise State in double overtime of the first round.
|Seattle University
|Louisiana Tech
LA Tech and Seattle Battle to Scoreless Draw
On a very windy afternoon at the Lady Techster Soccer Complex, Louisiana Tech and Seattle went the full 110 minutes in their first ever meeting to end in a scoreless tie.
Earlier this season, the two teams squared off at the Lady Techster Soccer Complex with both defenses holding the other scoreless. For the 110 minutes of the double overtime match, LA Tech was only able to generate three shots on goal and Seattle only four shots on goal.
The tie extended the Lady Techsters unbeaten streak to 11 games which was the second longest unbeaten streak in the history of the Louisiana Tech soccer program. However, LA Tech would drop the next three conference matches to Idaho, San Jose State and Utah State to round out the 2012 regular season.
"The last three games the ladies would be the first to say they haven't given everything they had," said head coach Kevin Sherry. "Thursday's focus has to be giving 100 percent and not to back down. If we do that we can be proud of ourselves no matter what the result."
For LA Tech the defense, led by seniors and Utah natives Mo Rockwell and Lindsay Brough, will look to get back on track after giving up eight goals total in the three losses, three more than what they had given up in the previous 17 games combined.
The Redhawks are led in scoring by sophomore forward Stephanie Verdoia with eight goals, five of which have come in WAC play. Also in double digit points is senior forward Melissa Busque who has tallied four goals and four assists this season.
In goal for Seattle is 5-foot-10 Brianna Smallidge who can cover a lot of space in front of the net.
Freshman midfielder Brittany Beddow has become the offensive leader for the Lady Techsters recording a total of six goals and four assists. Her powerful left foot has produced the last two goals for the team.
In goal for LA Tech will be freshman Corina Brown who has started seven straight games since junior keeper Caitlin Updyke went down with a season-ending injury.
If a winner, the Lady Techsters would move on to face No. 1 seeded Utah State Aggies in the semifinals on Friday at 3:30 p.m. (CT).
The championship will be played at 2 p.m. (CT) on Sunday, Nov. 4.
The Western Athletic Conference, in conjunction with its Web site partner NeuLion, will stream all of the matches of the 2012 WAC Soccer Tournament. All five matches can be seen on WAC.tv by accessing the soccer tournament package for a one-time price of $10.95. Twitter users can get live updates of the game as well by following @LATechSOC.

In the few days ive been here, I have noticed something that has really gotten on my nerves. When you are inside some forum, there doesnt seem to be a way to quickly get back to the top level easily. I know you could use the pulldown on the bottom of the screen, but many other boards I have been on have a navigational link at the top like :
Forum home / Bicycle Topics / Bicycle Mechanics / some thread
Say I am in the top level of General Discussion, there doesnt seem to be a good way to get right back to the top level. Does this annoy anyone else or just me?

Special Guardianship
Find out what special guardianship means and how you apply.
Special Guardianship offers legal security without requiring the legal severance from the birth family which stems from an adoption order. A special guardianship order gives the special guardian parental responsibility for the child. Unlike adoption, under a special guardianship order the birth parents remain the child's legal parents and retain parental responsibility though their ability to exercise this is extremely limited.
The intention is that the special guardian will have clear responsibility for all the day-to-day decisions about caring for the child or young person and for taking any other decisions about their upbringing, for example their education. A special guardian may exercise parental responsibility to the exclusion of others with parental responsibility, such as the parents, and without needing to consult them in all but a few circumstances.
The Court is not able to make a Special Guardianship Order unless the Local Authority has been given three months' notice by the applicant. The Local Authority is then responsible for preparing a detailed report for the court and making a recommendation on whether Special Guardianship is in the child's interests.
In Dorset the Adoption and Kinship Team is responsible for assessing and supporting Special Guardians. Written notifications should be sent to the Team Manager, using the contact details below.
We recommend that people who are considering applying for Special Guardianship seek independent legal advice from a solicitor with child care experience.
If you would like further information regarding Special Guardianship please ring the duty social worker on 01305 228200.
Who can apply?
To apply for a Special Guardianship Order a person has to be 'eligible'. A court may only make a Special Guardianship Order in respect of a child on the application of the following persons:
- Any guardian of the child
- A local authority foster carer with whom the child has lived for one year immediately preceding the application
- Anyone who holds a Residence Order with respect to the child, or who has the consent of all those in whose favour a Residence Order is in force
- Where the child is in the care of a local authority, any person who has the consent of the local authority
- Anyone who has the consent of all those with parental responsibility for the child
- Any person, including the child, who has the leave of the court to apply
- A relative of the child if the child has lived with the relative for a year preceding the application [A relative is a child's grandparent, brother, sister, uncle or aunt (by full or half blood) or by marriage or civil registration or a step parent].
Applications may be made by an individual or jointly by two or more people. Joint applicants do not need to be married. Special Guardians must be aged 18 or over. Parents of the child cannot become a Special Guardian.
What are the alternatives?
There are several alternatives to Special Guardianship.
Sometimes no order is necessary when everyone is in agreement about where the child should live. However, if a child is living with a person who is not related for more than 28 days this is called Private Fostering and Children's Services must be notified. More information can be found on Dorset County Council's fostering website private fostering.
A Residence Order can be granted by a court when there is not agreement about where the child should live. The person who is granted a Residence Order obtains parental responsibility for the child.
Sometimes children need more security and certainty than Special Guardianship can provide and adoption is an option that can be considered. Birth parents lose parental responsibility following an Adoption Order being made.
The legal situation can be complicated. A solicitor can give you more information and advice and/or you may wish to discuss your situation with a social worker in the Adoption and Kinship Team. A duty worker is available Monday - Thursday 10am - 4pm and Fridays 10am - 1pm on 01305 228200 or you can e-mail us.
What happens next?
The team manager for the Adoption and Kinship team will make sure that you are eligible to apply and will respond in writing accepting your notification or explaining why it cannot be accepted. You will also be sent an information form, consent forms to allow checks with other agencies and a form to complete so that Disclosure and Barring Service checks can be completed. A social worker will be allocated to complete the assessment which will be required by the court.
A Special Guardianship Order is a significant legal order and the court must be satisfied that it is in the child's interests. The assessment the social worker will need to complete is therefore very in-depth and includes:
- Statutory checks with other agencies such as health, education and local authorities where you have lived
- Disclosure and Barring Service checks
- Full medicals on the applicant and child
- Views of the child
- Views of parents of the child
- Views of the prospective Special Guardian
- Information about the prospective Special Guardian
- Information about the child
- Information about the parents
- Written references - referees will also be visited by the social worker
- Information about contact
- A support assessment (in most cases)
When the report is complete the social worker will make a recommendation to the court about the merits of Special Guardianship and other Orders, and contact arrangements.
You will also need to make an application to the court - more information about how to do this can be provided by your solicitor or can be found on the Court Service website (opens in a new window).
For more information on Special Guardianship please contact the Adoption and Kinship Team.
How do I apply?
If you wish to apply for a Special Guardianship order then you must give the local authority three months' notice in writing. The only exception to this is if you have the court's permission to make an application or if there is already an application for an adoption order before the court.
You should write to: The Team Manager, Adoption and Kinship Team, Woodside, Monkton Park, Dorchester, Dorset DT2 9PS.
- What support is available for Special Guardians?
Special Guardians may request a support assessment.
Name: Adoption Team
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Tel: 01305 228200

Southern Exposure, an independent hub for the visual arts in SF, is holding the fourth round of its Alternative Exposure grant program in which $60,000 will be awarded to artists in San Francisco and Alameda Counties. The program started back in 2007 in partnership with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and has been played a vital role in keeping young artists thriving in the community. Over the course of its first three rounds, Alternative Exposure has awarded $155,000 in direct funds to 50 Bay Area projects.
This Week's Hottest Events: Jenny Lewis, Divisadero Art Walk and Daft Punk's Film Debut
Music: Jenny and Johnny
Child actress turned alt country music sensation Jenny Lewis has toured with singer/songwriter Johnathan Rice for every solo show of her career, so it was only natural that they start collaborating together on an album. The result? Fun, poppy melodies and a stage chemistry that will no doubt make you smile. $20; Thursday and Friday, 9/2-3; GAMH, 859 O'Farrell St., 415-885-0750, gamh.com

IndiDenim by Appointment
The problem: Jeans that don't flatter your booty. The solution: an in-store, one-on-one appointment with a stylist at indiDenim, who'll help you create a custom fit profile to design the perfect pair. Decide cut, fabric weight, wash, fade, closure style and pocket detail. In a month, you'll have custom jeans delivered to your doorstep.
$145–$165, 440 Brannan St., 877-251-0359, indidenim.com
Behind the Scenes of Howl with Eric Drooker
If you haven't already heard about Howl, listen up. Directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman have just finished a movie version of Allen Ginsberg's famously epic poem. The movie, part live action drama—starring James Franco, Jon Hamm and Mary-Louise Parker—and part animation hits theaters September 24 and is going to be big. Simultaneously, Harper Collins is publishing a graphic novel of renowned artist Eric Drooker's animation from the film. We had the honor of sitting down with the painter, New Yorker cover illustrator and Berkeley resident to learn more about this gargantuan project.
The Urban Gentleman: Tyler Mitchell, co-owner and men's merchandise manager, Wilkes Bashford
What is a 31-year-old former Boston College soccer player doing managing a luxury department store? The answer: part family legacy, part personal passion. Growing up in the business—his family owns the Mitchells chain of stores on the East Coast—Tyler Mitchell always had his hand in retail, learning the buying end of things at Harry Rosen in Canada and vendor operations at Brioni wholesale in New York. As men's merchandise manager at Wilkes Bashford, which the Mitchell family bought last December, he's tasked with marketing a classic, high-end SF brand to a broader, younger audience. Hipsters, it's time to get measured.
What fashion mistake do most SF men make?
I always see men wearing clothes that don't fit right.
Dana Carvey Returns to His Roots with The Other Café 30th Reunion Show
Mill Valley resident and mega comedian Dana Carvey is back in the limelight, scheduled to perform* in the place where he got his start.
Church Lady. Hans. Garth. Ross Perot. Dana Carvey's comedic repertoire is the stuff of legend. After seven seasons as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, a handful of blockbuster movies and an Emmy, the intensely private Carvey quietly stepped away from the stage to focus on his family. Next month marks his return as the comedian teams up with his colleagues for The Other Café 30th Reunion Show*, an event poised to be the biggest comedy act to hit the city since SF's stand-up heyday in the '70s and '80s.
This Week's Hottest Events: Bob Dylan, Wallpaper and Rear Window
Music: Bob Dylan
Chances are you don't have tickets to Bob Dylan's sold-out show at the Fox tomorrow. Lucky for you, the legendary musician who single-handedly redefined song as poetry, is playing a second show at the Warfield on Wednesday, and tickets are not being sold in advance. Bring your sleeping bag, camp out at the box office on Tuesday night and come prepared with $60 cash. If you call yourself a music lover, this is your duty. $60; Wednesday, 8/25; The Warfield, 982 Market St., 800-745-3000, thewarfieldtheatre.com

text: Posted: 10/10/2011 - NBC executives and affiliate stations have been bombarded by "cut & paste" e-mails urging us to cancel "The Playboy Club". The cut & paste crowd got their wish, not because of the e-mail barrage but because the ratings stunk. However, somebody isn't paying attention because we're still getting the e-mails.

Featured Screening: Optipus Laboratory: a lab is a lab is a lab at The Kitchen
This weekend "multi-tentacled optical beast" Optipus wraps its tendrils around The Kitchen for a weekend of live cinema and sound organized by artist Bradley Eros. The itinerant art collective will be in the space for two evenings. It works mostly with analog equipment—film and tape loops, contact mikes, glass slides, pedals and radios, and even an electrified Ouija board. Eros sent the following by way of elaboration; an effort has been made to retain the original formatting:
is a magnetic field, derived from the libido, a psychic urge to build via collective energy & desire, that also contains its opposite, the destructive impulse, or death drive, seen in its wild sway towards the dangers of pure experimentation, obsolete media, and an attraction to aesthetic decay, technological destruction and failure.
embraces the ephemeral cinema of unfixed forms and open composition. What we love is the beauty of contradiction. In a sense, we preserve, through action & display, what we are losing; and we destroy, through use and exposure, what we want to keep. We revitalize this vanishing cinema, by speaking of its death & we kill it, in our lively performances, that exist beyond the edge of preservation.
is a nomadic group of chameleon artists, shape-shifting to the site-specific. We are cine-scientists in search of a semi-permanent laboratory. In a state of flux, we emerge in myriad collaborations. producing works & events, soundtracks & invented instruments, zines & posters, photographs & collages, video edits & film loops, expanded cinema & immersive installations. We have alighted at various venues, exhibiting, screening & performing, that range from Participant, Inc to Microscope, CSV to NYU, and Anthology Film Archives to Millennium Film Workshop (our homebases & springboards)
The lab comprises two evenings: tonight, a lab is a lab is a lab is a structured improvisation of interlocking solos and duos between projections and musicians. Artists include Gill Arno, Jonas Asher, Lea Bertucci, MV Carbon, Victoria Keddie and Lary Seven. Tomorrow's Optipus evening features Eros, Keddie, Seven, Katherine Bauer, Tim Geraghty, Rachael Guma, Sarah Halpern, Jay Hudson, Rachelle Rahme and Pancho for an evening of expanded cinema and live soundtracks split into three parts: one is a color-coded composition; another is described as "a video of Houdini magic and mischief, with an electrified Ouiji board and ensemble"; and part three is dedicated to the death of Kodachrome and other obsolete technologies. Each evening is scheduled to begin at 8:00 pm with $12 admission.
Also Noted
Recently-recognized Japanese horror classic Kuroneko plays Anthology Film Archives at 9:00 pm tonight. This eerily stylized, Sengoku-period kaidan by Kaneto Shindo (The Naked Island) concerns vengeful female ghosts stalking and killing samurais. Also tonight at AFA—John Zorn visits to present Treatment for a Film in 15 Scenes. The jazz/noise composer had conceived a loose, non-traditional script in the early 80s and recently offered it to filmmakers including Henry Hills, Gobolux, Lewis Klahr and Joey Izzo for varying realization. Zorn, Hills and Gobolux will be in attendance for an evening that also includes a brand-new 35mm blowup of one of my favorites, which I was fortunate to be able to present with Eros and Occupy Cinema in pre-eviction Zuccotti—Hills's Money, a cacophonic downtown paean to art, performance and community in the face of ongoing economic repression confronting all artists.
And at that, tonight at Eyebeam Death to Capitalism Cinema presents the first evening of a FREE traveling program and discussion generating awareness of the May 1 General Strike. Beginning with two short pieces on the 1934 San Francisco Waterfront strikes—which lasted 83 days and led to the unionization of all West Coast ports—the 33-minute program primarily comprises International strike-themed pieces made within the last few months in locales ranging from Greece to Oakland.
At midnight IFC Center offers a new 35mm print of John Carpenter's undervalued 1987 Prince of Darkness.

After exposure, the HIV PCR may become positive within 8 -10 days at the earliest. Certainly by a couple weeks to a month a negative test is good evidence agianst HIV infection.
Good luck.
Always ask if you need clarification/more information.
If I have answered your question, please click the ACCEPT button so I can get credit for my work.
POSITIVE feedback & a BONUS are warmly appreciated. Please note that answers are for information only, do not take the place of an IN PERSON assessment by your doctor,and does not establish a patient-physician relationship.

German standards: no compromises!
You want to buy a piano? Then BECHSTEIN is your subject-matter worldwide. BECHSTEIN makes top quality available for more customers. We have mobilized all the know-how of German engineering to create this Bechstein trademark. We will justify the German claim in piano building. Our worldwide unique "Center of Expertise for Piano, Research and Development," has brought together the findings of more than 160 years' of Bechstein piano building for professional requirements with the capabilities of today's cutting-edge technology. BECHSTEIN is a testament to German high technology and top-products that remain affordable, but sound fantastic. If you want to buy an upright piano or are interested in a grand piano, there is no better alternative in this price range.
Our production methods are unique, we bring dynamism into tradition, creativity into the Holy Grail of manufacturing. As a result, we achieve an intelligent combination of craftsmanship in individual development along with highest precision and effectiveness in primary production.
If you want to buy a Bechstein piano, BECHSTEIN is a wise decision. The secret of success lies in hundreds of very good details, which are new and somewhat differently defined than for C. Bechstein. Minimal other materials, minimal other concepts, minimal simpler solutions in many places result in fantastic Bechstein upright and grand pianos. BECHSTEIN is so strongly rooted in historical building concepts that one can almost speak of a renaissance under modern conditions.
What were the motives for creating along with the premium brand of C. Bechstein masterpieces a "normal" Bechstein segment? It's simple: many customers looking for a great sound, excellent precision in the touch, unmatched durability - at a still affordable price which makes it easier to buy a Bechstein piano. We have exploited the unique capabilities of our German production site in order to build quality without compromising on sound, playing enjoyability and durability. Our success at universities and with many private customers having high requirements shows we are right.

Hands Only CPR - two simple steps can save a life.
You can save a life
Knowing CPR can save someone's life. Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in adults, killing nearly 400,000 people every year – the equivalent of just less than 1100 deaths per day or one every 79 seconds. Two out of three of these deaths occur in people without any prior indication of heart disease, and they tend to happen outside the home.
However, effective bystander intervention, through CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest, can double or triple a victim's chance of survival – meaning the difference between life and death.
Taking the lead in CPR training
In our role as the leading provider of heart care services and as a significant community resource, Albany Medical Center is keenly aware that programs providing CPR education, training and preparedness can play a significant role in saving lives. In fact, over the years, we have already trained thousands of the region's residents in Hands-Only CPR.
If you don't know Hands-Only CPR, now is the time to learn. If you already know, practicing your skills will help you be ready to help someone in need. Please begin by watching the video below.
- Call 911
- Push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

SatNEx is a European Network of Experts for satellite communications, coordinated by the German Aerospace Center DLR. The first two phases of SatNEx were funded by the EU from 2004 to 2009. The third phase, SatNEx-III, comprises 17 partners and is co-funded by ESA from 2010 to 2013. A core team consisting of DLR, University of Surrey, and University of Bologna is coordinating the SatNEx-III research activities. Specific research tasks are contracted to partners in the frame of annual "Call-off Orders". SatNEx-III will be concluded in early 2014, and possibly followed by SatNEx-IV.
