Fluorescence Probes
Probes offer a convenient alternative to measuring fluorescence in a cuvette. When immersed in a solution, they excite and detect fluorescence of the sample material closest to the tip. This enables measurements of flowing solutions, as well as samples that are highly concentrated or prone to reabsorption of emitted fluorescence. Probes are also excellent for direct measurement of solid and particulate samples.
Fluorescence in Solutions
A basic reflection or backscatter probe works very well for making fluorescence measurements in solution. A probe with a large core fiber such as the QR600-7-UV-VIS will excite and collect the most fluorescence.
For process applications, a more robust probe such as our front-surface fluorescence probe may be warranted. It requires very little penetration into the sample and is compatible with industrial fittings.
Fluorescence of Solids and Powders
Solid and powdered samples don't lend themselves well to traditional cuvette-based spectrofluorometer measurements. A reflection probe, however, can perform excitation and detection of fluorescence when angled and placed in a probe holder at a small, repeatable distance from the sample. This allows samples to be measured in place and non-destructively.
Application tip: To see the most spectrally accurate fluorescence spectrum, first perform a relative irradiance calibration of the spectrometer. This will ensure that the varying response of the spectrometer with wavelength has been corrected, giving the proper fluorescence spectrum shape.

Happy Monday, Blues fans!
It might have been a drag returning to work this chilly autumn morning, but there are plenty of reasons to be cheerful if you support Chester FC.
The Blues are unbeaten in seven games –they haven't conceded a goal in that time either – and are perched nicely in the top half of the National League table (a few points and several places above our old 'friends' from across the border).
So what's been going on today then? Here's your round-up of all Blues-related news.
Ian becomes a Villain
Former Blues boss Ian Atkins has landed a new job.
The man who almost pulled off the Great Escape in the 1999/2000 season has been appointed chief scout/head of European recruitment at Aston Villa.
The 59-year-old, who was born in Birmingham, left a similar role with Everton to take up the post with manager-less Villa.

Kev's pit-stop
Kevin Nicholson is a man of many talents – you have to be when you're in charge of a club with Torquay United's meagre resources.
The Gulls manager, who named himself on the subs' bench on Saturday, drove the team minibus to and from Chester for the match at the Lookers Vauxhall Stadium, which ended in 1-0 win for the Blues.
He stopped off on his way home to post a Facebook message which included a few words of praise for Chester's fans and staff.
"Credit to Chester, who defended for their lives and put their bodies on the line to keep us out, but I think most people leaving that stadium would accept that the result was, overall, unfair on our lads," wrote Nicholson.
"Thanks for the great support and I have to thank a lot of the Chester fans and staff for their kind comments after the game.
"There's a long way to go this season and I'm seeing plenty of positive signs."
Jackie's gone... sort of
There are no prizes for guessing the identity of the latest managerial casualty in the National League. This news had been coming for a while...
Jackie McNamara, manager of struggling York City, stepped down today following a woeful start to the Vanarama National League campaign.
In an unusual step, the former Celtic player has agreed to continue coaching the York players until his successor is appointed.
York have a couple of weeks to find a new boss before they face Chester on Saturday, October 22.
For more on the story, click HERE.
Brabin's blast
Speaking of managerial casualties, former Tranmere Rovers boss Gary Brabin has hit out following his sacking by the club.
The former Chester player told The Non-League Paper it came as a 'massive surprise' when he was relieved of his duties following a run of four matches without a win. Rovers, who have since appointed Micky Mellon as their new boss, were just four points off top spot at the time Brabin was axed.
"The agreement was two years to get the club back in the Football League, and as far as I'm concerned we were well of course for that," said Brabin.
On this day
Today we rewind 52 years to October 10, 1964 when Chester ran out 3-1 winners at home to Southport, their FA Cup opponents this weekend.
Peter Hauser and Gary Talbot (2) got the goals in front of a crowd of 7,228 at Sealand Road. A similar result this Saturday would go down nicely.
RIP Peris
Barrie Hipkiss, honorary life president of Chester FC, has paid a warm tribute to one of the club's biggest fans.
The Rev Canon Peris Williams, vicar of Blacon 's Holy Trinity Church for many years, died peacefully while on holiday in Scotland, aged 77.
Canon Williams was known for his love of Chester FC and when conducting funeral services for fellow Blues supporters would often wear his club scarf as well as his clerical collar.
Barrie told The Chronicle: "He was a true gentleman. You couldn't meet a nicer chap than Peris. Over all the years I have been involved with Chester Football Club he has never bypassed me, he always had time for me. I will miss him a lot."

The economic storm is gathering.

"[T]he British Constitution is more like a republic than an empire. They define a republic to be a government of laws, and not of men. . . . An empire is a despotism, and an emperor is a despot, bound by no law or limitation but his own will; it is a stretch of tyranny beyond absolute monarchy. For, although the will of an absolute monarch is law, yet his edicts must be registered by parliaments. Even this formality is not necessary in an empire." ~ John Adams, Novanglus Papers, 1775.

'If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!' ~ I Corinthians 16:22
It seems strange to me that the Catholic Church, in bowing to public pressure, is considering re-excommunicating a bishop who disputes certain aspects of the Jewish Holocaust (he does not deny that it occured , as is often asserted) yet, they have no intention of doing the same for those within its jurisdiction who promote abortion on demand (a Holocaust of even greater proportions).
And, for that matter, I find myself amazed that Christians of all stripes, for all of our righteous indignation regarding Holocaust denial, show nowhere near the same amount of concern over those who deny the Resurrection of Jesus Christ! Why the disparity?

'Government should stick to punishing fraud and enforcing contracts. When they use the tax code, bureaucratic departments and their manipulative rules and regulations to dictate social and economic behavior, we end up with distortions and malinvestments. Bailing out banks, continuing failed Fed policies and strapping the taxpayer with toxic debt will worsen the pain, and punish the innocent.' ~ Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX)
'A new competition is providing another opportunity for churches to encourage Scripture memorization among their children. The Bible Bee, a Bible memory competition for children and youth from 7 to 18, adds a new twist to the traditional Bible Drills that Southern Baptists have used for decades. … Local Bible Bees will be conducted throughout the country Sept. 12, and 100 finalists from each of three age categories will advance to the National Bible Bee in Washington, D.C., Nov. 5-6. The Bible Bee Competition will distribute more than $260,000 in prize money with $100,000 being awarded to the first-place winner of the top age category.' [I call John 11:35!!! – ed.]
'When tyrants rule, jesters often boldly tell truths that falter on the lips of fear-plagued philosophers.

Roots causing drain problems
I had my drains cleaned today and the drainage was impeded by roots. It could be a 40+ year old Wall Ivy or a 40+ year old Yew Bush growing down to a depth of approx. 5-6 feet to the drain pipe. Which is likely to be the problem or could it be both please? Ray
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
While the root systems of different yews vary, many have deep, widespread roots that become dense.
An ivy plant has two types of roots. The subterranean roots extend into the soil, attaching the plant to the ground and absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. Clumps of adventitious or aerial roots are located at intervals along the climbing stems. The function of these roots is to attach the plant to a surface as it climbs.
Whether either of these two plants are the cause of your drain pipe issues, is beyond my expertise.

Get a transfusion.
As I mentioned, I had to repeat my bloodwork and therefore got a repeat cbc done. On tuesday, my hemoglobin was 64 (or 6.4). Today, two days later, my hemoglobin is down again, 62 (or 6.2)
How very distressing. Why is it that everytime I'm on the right track where transplant is concerned, something always comes up? My nurse called me this afternoon and told me the news, and that my nephrologist Doc Richardson wants me to get transfused.
I felt so empty after. I don't want a transfusion. So I decided to call my transplant coordinator (Julie Cissell) and see what she had to say. She reassured me. Worst case scenario, I develop a bunch of antibodies and I need to go on some sort of a program for that which typically lasts 5 months. I don't like the idea of waiting 5 months…but at the same time, I've been waiting this long. What's another 5 months I guess..? That is, of course, assuming that the worst case scenario occurs. Let's hope it doesn't.

Parking accreditation for rail station
Efforts to make the car park at Morpeth Railway Station as safe as possible for passengers have been recognised.
Park Mark – the Safer Parking Scheme – provides a national standard for UK car parks that have low crime and measures in place to help ensure the safety of people and vehicles. A total of 19 stations across the Northern network have recently received the accreditation, including its car park at Morpeth, pictured above, as part of the company's work to improve and modernise its services and stations.
It was independently assessed by specialists from the police and shown to have strong management practices and security measures that actively reduce crime.
Stephen Green, Northern's travel integration and accessibility manager, said: "Safety is priority for Northern and whether our customers are in a car park, at a station, on a platform or on a train, we want them to be safe, and feel safe."

One of the most feared enforcers in the National Hockey League during his playing days, Princeton graduate George Parros is now moving into a front office job with the Department of Player Safety.
His aggressive style belied his Ivy League education as he was known for whacking rivals when he thought they needed it and to shake up his teams at the same time.
Parros played 474 games over nine seasons, winning the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007.
He also played for the Los Angeles Kings, Colorado Avalanche, Florida Panthers and Montreal Canadiens, finishing with only 36 points but 1,092 penalty minutes and a reputation for someone you didn't want to mess with. He retired in 2014.
NHL Senior Vice President of Player Safety Stephane Quintal announced the hire of the Randolph, New Jersey native who majored in economics at Princeton.
He joins fellow tough guy Chris Pronger in the department that determines fines and suspensions for on-ice infractions, a field both specialized in and know well.
He was Princeton's captain. He wrote his senior thesis on the West Coast longshoremen's labor dispute and the Sporting News named him the fourth-smartest athlete in sports but he could take care of himself on the ice too, at 6-5, 232 lbs. and was known for his toughness and mustache.

A Melbourne barrister has opened up about her secret double life as a pop songwriter, as her debut single propels her to music stardom.
Bowie Jane released the boppy dance track Luv Bomb last month and it has since glided up the UK charts to number 11 on the commercial pop Top 30.
The 27-year-old's success has her jostling for top spot with the likes of Justin Timberlake and One Direction.
But it has also exposed Jane's clandestine music career to her more staid legal fraternity.
"I was gigging six nights a week for a while. No one knew what I was doing," she told the Herald Sun.
For the past four years Jane has worked by day as a barrister and by night as a pop singer, swapping her courtroom robe and wig for a Lycra suit as she performed in front of thousands.
Her clients and colleagues were clueless.
"Law is a male-dominated industry and very conservative and I [was] worried that people wouldn't take me seriously if they found out," she told the Daily Mail.
Jane, who divides her time between Melbourne and London, said she once had to leave work early to make a gig on the main stage at the Australian Open.
Although she enjoys law, Jane said music has always been her driving passion and she hopes her newfound success can help her forge a career in the industry.

A Video Game 'Loot Box' Offers Coveted Rewards, but Is It Gambling?/
In the 1980s, arcade games chugged quarters as players tried to reach new levels. Today, many video games let players at home spend a dollar — or much more — to open digital "loot boxes" that offer features like new character outfits and powerful weapons.
Finding the rarest items in these boxes can be expensive for players and lucrative for game publishers because the contents are randomly generated.
That has legislators in several states concerned that the boxes constitute gambling and should be regulated like lottery tickets and slot machines.
A bill introduced in Minnesota on Monday would prohibit the sale of video games with loot boxes to people younger than 18 and require a stern warning: "This game contains a gambling-like mechanism that may promote the development of a gaming disorder that increases the risk of harmful mental or physical health effects, and may expose the user to significant financial risk."

From the Portfolio: Stucco Manor
Granite cobblestones line the driveway leading to this transitional style home. Its two projecting wings on the front facade enclose the bluestone walkway that leads to the minimalist iron and glass canopy.
Stepping through a pair of walnut doors, one enters an expansive foyer that connects the principal rooms with a gallery hall leading to the paneled study. The dark hardwood floors provide a deep contrast with the soft hues of the sophisticated interiors.
The dining room walls are paneled in a simple pattern painted a soft-gray while to iron and wood chandelier completes the look. On axis with the entry is the living room. With no moldings and a coved ceiling, the architecture of this room dissolves away, highlighting the furnishings and the room's limestone mantle.
The kitchen opens directly to the family room with its vaulted ceiling and large window that echoes the same design found in the master bedroom.
The master wing provides a quiet retreat and looks out to the pool beyond. The dramatic vaulted ceiling here is wrapped in painted beams which frame the large window that floods the room with sunlight during the day. Down the adjoining hallway, the paneled study provides a luxurious place to read or work late at night.
The pool is framed by limestone and surrounded by a lush lawn. The terrace provides an inviting area that is ideal for those nights when the cool evening air makes entertaining outdoors a delight.

I'm still nervous about request.getDecodedRequestURI() returning the original URI even after the request has been mapped to a welcome page. This violates spec requirement that any container specific mechanism for mapping request to welcome page must be "indistinguishable from a direct request".

As such, you will be seeing many updates on my blog as details become available. If you are one of those lucky participants, please contact me so that we can start working together to boost attendance at the festival and at your screening.
For those unfamiliar with the festival, LA Shorts Fest is the largest short film festival in the world. The Festival is accredited by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and winners in the primary categories are eligible for Academy nomination. The festival boasts an outstanding past record of 33 Academy Award-nominated films, including 11 Oscar winners. It has honored some of Hollywood's legends of the past: Charles Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Robert Wise; along with actors Martin Landau, James Woods, Gary Oldman and directors Jan de Bont, Tim Burton, Bryan Singer and Paul Haggis.
The Festival annually attracts more than 10,000 moviegoers, filmmakers and entertainment executives looking for the hottest new talent as well as brand name sponsors looking to connect with the trendsetters in Hollywood. The Festival runs from July 23-31 and opening night guests will be actress and screenwriter Scarlett Johansson ("Lost in Translation," "Iron Man 2″) and Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith (Executive Producer of "The House Bunny" with Anna Faris and co writer of the upcoming film "The Ugly Truth" with Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl).

Savage Beauty: New tourism strategy shoots for 'true essence' of Aran Islands and Connemara
Slow Travel & Sustainability
A new Visitor Development Plan wants to encourage visitors to stay longer and spend more in Connemara and the Aran Islands.
Wildly romantic, rugged, diverse and integral to the Wild Atlantic Way, the iconic locations inspire breathtaking adventures and Instagrams, but like other rural regions, suffer from a drop in tourist footfall outside of peak seasons.
Fáilte Ireland's new Visitor Experience Development Plan, launched this week, aims to address that by having visitors "engage with the true essence and story of the area, without compromising the environment or culture," it says.
The Plan will draw on the region's rich folklore and what Oscar Wilde termed its "savage beauty" with 10 "Catalyst Projects", it outlines.
These include feasibility studies on a "Leenane-Killary Fjord Adventure Hub" and "Killary Famine Trail", new coastal and inland walking trails, and the completion of the Connemara Greenway, among other possible developments.
Tourism has been growing in the area, Fáílte Ireland says, but challenges remain - including a lack of awareness, the perception of a "north-south divide" in Connemara tourism, and limited pier, harbour and welcome facilities on the Aran Islands.
The Plan is described as a "starting point" for stakeholders to get the ball rolling on future opportunities, and to develop experiences and themes that not only attract visitors but have them "emotionally connect" to the destination.
It comes as a global trend towards experiential tourism gathers pace, with everyone from tourist boards to Airbnb (with its local 'Experiences') and hotel chains zeroing in on "authentic" tourism experiences that enrich travellers' lives.
The Plan follows a period of consultation with regional stakeholders, Fáilte Ireland says, and collaboration with Galway County Council, the National Parks & Wildlife Service and Forum Connemara among others.
It includes "tangible actions and a process for local businesses to become involved," says Miriam Kennedy, Fáilte Ireland's Head of the Wild Atlantic Way.
Of course, developing these wild western frontiers sensitively and responsibly will be a key challenge if visitor numbers do grow.
Growing conflict between sense of place and mass tourism on Inis Oírr and Inis Mór has "the potential to undermine its sustainability," the Plan warns.

In the van on the way back from the simul, the day before the opening ceremony, Levon Aronian was twisting around in his seat, asking each and every player, "Are you in? And you? And you?". Since there were no more activities scheduled that day, I asked what was up. "We're organizing a basketball game this afternoon." A basketball game? I have seen many a football game, and the occasional tennis, but this was a new one to me. I asked to tag along and record the moment, which promised to be entertaining at the least.
Arriving at the club, Epstein Agdestein, Carlsen's manager, went to get some extra
bottles of water before the game. He was not just there for his protegé, and played too.
Francisco Vallejo-Pons, or "Paco" as he is called by his friends,
quickly showed that despite some rust, he was one of the most
The players soon got into the groove of the game
Aronian's second, Brazilian GM Krikor Mekhitarian, was also
clearly a regular on the courts.
Carlsen was always one to make the most of his chances
And the players soon made sure he was well covered
Paco manages a nice pass between Karjakin's legs to get past him
Karjakin was not intimidated and went right after him
After the first hour, the players stopped for a breather. Here Paco, Karjakin, and
Agdestein enjoy a brief moment in the shade.
Karjakin gets ready for the next game...
...where he compensated much of his lack of ground skill with
dangerous shot making.
After they scored, the players would reposition themselves
Levon Aronian was the brain behind the plan, and is a huge basketball buff
The game was very much enjoyed by all the players
But the non-stop running did eventually take its toll
Finally it was over and the players rested

The games are being broadcast live on the official web site and on the chess server Playchess.com. If you are not a member you can download a free Playchess client there and get immediate access. You can also use ChessBase 11 or any of our Fritz compatible chess programs.

A long while ago, over 30 years if my memory still serves me, I fell head over heals in love with Opus. Doonesbury was my favorite cartoon and Opus was the wisest of waterfowl. I especially loved him when he was a lawyer. "I object! I object to the question, I object to the form of the question, I object to object!" Or something like that.
I had that cartoon strip taped to the inside of my storage closet at the Public Defender's office for years.
To get an idea of how long this has been going on, the volleyball team that I played on in law school was called Penguins in Bondage and our shirts had Opus with a ball and chain around his neck. We thought it was hysterical. Others didn't share that opinion.
Anyway, one of my public defender colleagues took a shine to my fascination with Opus and bought me a wonderful Opus t-shirt.
And my collecting life began.
One glass penguin here, one china penguin there. A little Waterford crystal, a little cloisonne there. And it just sort of grew. And grew.
At one point I had toy penguins. But as the artistic collection grew the toys were abandoned.
We bought some really incredible sculptures, too
But I kept on getting penguins. My brother found a little tiny one at a truck stop. He had one made out of a pine log. It fishes in my living room to this day!
The Spouse was always finding odd and unique ones.
Except for one more addition. A Valentine's Day present from my sweetie that he found in Monterey while we are at the conference.
I did tell you that I went for the odd or original, didn't I?

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Crude futures prices fell to an almost two-year low Friday, pressuring shares of most oil-related companies to trade sharply lower, as a reported jump in U.S. unemployment during the month of October sparked further concern over a weakness in economic demand for oil.
"Traders are worried about demand," said Fimat energy analyst John Kilduff in a note to clients.
The Labor Department reported Friday morning the highest monthly job loss in more than 20 years. See full story.
"The questions concerning recession have moved away from 'whether or not' to 'depth and duration,'" said Kilduff. He noted the possibly of a further interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve when it meets Tuesday that could help the economy.
Following the latest economic news, the Philadelphia Oil Service Index OSX, -0.52% closed at 78.54, down 2.9 percent. Shares of Global Marine GLM eased 69 cents to $15.26, while Varco International VRC, +0.00% slipped 47 cents to stand at $14.83.
Integrated oil stocks also declined. The CBOE Oil Index $OIX fell 2.4 percent to 292.9.
Shares of ChevronTexaco CVX, +0.03% fell $2.41 to $87.45 and BP BP declined 91 cents to $48.10. ExxonMobil's XOM, +0.29% stock shed 73 cents to $39.76.
Enron ENE shares dropped down by another 69 cents, or 5.8 percent, to $11.30. See related story. The stock was among the biggest decliners in the Amex Natural Gas Index $XNG, which posted an overall fall of 3.4 percent to stand at 186.4.
Oil prices near two-year low
The latest U.S. economic data rekindled concerns over weakness in oil demand Friday, taking crude futures prices to their lowest level in nearly two years.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude for December delivery reached a low at $19.69, its lowest level since Feb. 11, 2000. It closed down 21 cents at $20.18 a barrel.
December unleaded gasoline rose by 0.27 cent to 54.4 cents a gallon and December heating oil shed 0.61 cent to 58.26 cents a gallon.
In London, December-contract Brent crude futures climbed on the International Petroleum Exchange by 15 cents to $19.77 per barrel.
This week, OPEC Secretary-General Ali Rodriguez said a cut of around 1 million barrels per day would come in addition to improvements in OPEC's compliance with the official 23.2 million barrel per day quota, according to London's GNI Research.
Traders will likely have to wait until the cartel's next official meeting on Nov. 14 for a definitive decision on output levels.
In the latest reports, the American Petroleum Institute and Energy Department posted a rise in last week's crude inventories, but said distillate and gasoline supplies fell. See full story.
In other energy news, December natural gas settled down 4.2 cents to $3.248 per million British thermal units.

Hay fever allergies, also known as respiratory allergies surprising impacts of the young children in America. To ones surprise, hay fever allergies are seldom related to hay or lead to a fever, nor does a virus induce hay fever allergies. With the staggering percentage of youngsters getting impacted by allergies, health-related understanding of how to treat hay fever and respiratory allergies remains limited.
Toenail fungus is uncommon in youngsters, even so, the chances becomes extra as one's age increases. Roughly 48% of individuals in the United States have at least 1 toe impacted by the time they are 70 years of age The uncomfortable tight fitting shoes and layers of nail polish enhances the danger of increasing toenail fungus. It can also spread individual-to-person in public locations, such as locker rooms and showers. Having a chronic situation that have an impact on a circulation, such as diabetes or HIV also enhances your risk. The affected nail will develop into stained and will turn incredibly thick and overgrown. 1 may possibly notice stinking debris below the nail. The nail might disintegrate and eventually fall off absolutely, or it may well turn into so thick that it is really painful to wear footwear.

Toenail fungus turns to be a chronic condition, and if it is not aching, a number of folks do not get treatment. Even so, to treat toenail fungus, folks with unrelieved illness like diabetes need to see a physician if they come to be aware of changes in their nails as it may well be an indication of additional really serious problems. If the nail turn out to be very thick and it is tough to put on shoes and 1 feel discomfort whilst walking then one must check out a doctor.
If your child has been diagnosed with respiratory allergies, there are quite a couple of issues you can do in your house to support cut down the symptoms. Eliminating as significantly dust and pollen from inside the house can make a large distinction in the severity of allergy attacks. It's not just the dust you see in the air or on desktops that causes difficulty. There is also dust hiding in carpets, furnishings and bedding.
A single could notice stinking debris under the nail.
Toenail fungus, also identified by the term onychomycosis, is an ordinary condition that disfigures and even demolishes the toenail. The massive toe and the little toe are the nails that are most most likely to be impacted by toenail fungus. This condition is brought on by any 1 of the various varieties of fungi that create in moist and warm surroundings, specifically in the footwear. As they rise, they invade and feed on the protein that creates challenging surface of the toenail.
The nail can be filed down and trimmed cautiously, either at residence or by a podiatrist. If the infection is gentle and considerably localized then to treat toenail fungus a medical doctor may possibly recommend a medicated nail polish containing either Loceryl or Loprox. If the infection persists or carry on spreading then a physician may possibly prescribe an oral, systemic anti-fungal medication such as Sporanox or Lamisil. The remedy may possibly requires about 12 weeks. Both of these drugs have some extremely damaging effects that may perhaps not be suitable for some people today.

Just a little sewing on a Sunday afternoon!
This little project is only 16 1/2" x 20 1/2" from "Bits and Pieces" by Karen Costello Soltys/That Patchwork Place. The quilt in the book is done in pinks and browns and called Box of Chocolates. Obviously mine is red, white and blue, so I'm calling mine Box of Stars (very original - LOL)
Time to shut everything down in the sewing room, cook dinner and then we're off to a Blue Man Group concert (these were tickets from our DD, Kris for Christmas) WooHoo!!!!
I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday and doing a little sewing, too.
I had a wonderful surprise phone call from Carole at Carole's Quilting Adventures. All in all a perfect Sunday!
Thanks for visiting - do come again!
In Friendship!
