Rich Cregar and Rachel Burton
Seminar Title: "Fueling Around with BioDiesel-BioDiesel Production, Quality Testing and Clean Diesel Emission Technology"
Abstract of presentation: The workshop will be divided into two sections.
Section 1: The production of BioDiesel. We will begin by describing the nature of tri-glycerides, fatty acids, methyl esters, etc. After introducing these basic concepts, the class will move to the lab where they will participate in the trans-esterification (conversion into BioDiesel) of 25 gallons of WVO. We will utilize a 30 gallon teaching plant provided by Wake Tech.
The class will move in and out of the lab through the duration of the workshop as the production process continues through filling, titration, methoxide preparation, mixing, settlement, glycerin removal, water washing, etc. While in class we will also cover ASTM testing protocols and various quality and usage issues. This unit will be taught by Rachel Burton & Rich Cregar
Section 2: Clean Diesel/Common Rail Technology. This section will introduce the participants to the functional description of high pressure common rail systems, including high pressure delivery pumps, Piezo Injectors, advanced engine management systems and emission after-treatment system including Diesel Particulate Filters and Selective Catalytic Reduction NOx Converters.

Computing Sine and Cosine
Date: 8/27/95 at 9:0:54 Subject: Sine/Cosine From: Bj\xrn St\frk Date: Sun, 27 Aug 1995 13:15:09 +0100 Dear Dr. Math Is it possible to compute sine and cosine for a given angle without using a calculator or a sine table?
Date: 8/27/95 at 17:13:53 From: Doctor Ken Subject: Re: Sine/Cosine Hello! Well, it depends. Sine and Cosine are defined in terms of geometric objects, so if you wanted to you could draw a circle of radius r on a pair of axes, lay your angle down on the circle, find where it intersects the circle, and if the coordinates of this point are (x,y) then the cosine of the angle is x/r and the sine is y/r. But I gather that you're looking for a more algebraic, formulaic way? Well, there's no algebraic way to compute exactly the trigonometric values of every angle, only certain ones like Pi/2, Pi/3, Pi/4, and things like that. You can, however, use an algebraic formula to find an _approximation_ to any angle. To approximate Sine, use the formula x^3 x^5 x^7 x - ---- + ----- - ----- + .... 3! 5! 7! For cosine, use the formula x^2 x^4 x^6 1 - ---- + ----- - ----- + .... 2! 4! 6! These both converge pretty quickly to the right value, and they converge most quickly when x isn't too far away from 0. -Doctor Ken, The Geometry Forum Check out our web site! http://mathforum.org/dr.math/dr-math.html
Date: 8/29/95 at 12:22:13 Subject: Sine/Cosine From: Bj\xrn St\frk Date: Tue, 29 Aug 1995 17:28:41 +0100 Hello again! :) Thank you, very much. But I don't exactly see where to use the angle in this formula. Say that I have an angle of 45 degrees, (or the same value in radians). How do I calculate sine/cosine for this angle?
Date: 8/30/95 at 11:12:16 From: Doctor Ken Subject: Re: Sine/Cosine Bjorn- The way you'd use these formulas is to plug in the angle (in radians) into the formula. So for the angle .25 radians, you'd get .25^3 .25^5 .25^7 .25 - ------ + ------- - ------- = .247404... 3! 5! 7! Keep in mind that this formula is only very accurate from about -Pi/2 to Pi/2. So to do an angle outside this range, use instead an angle that would have the same sine: instead of Sin[2.7] use Sin[Pi-2.7]. Do a similar thing for cosine, for which the formula is also good between -Pi/2 and Pi/2: instead of Cos[2.7] use -Cos[Pi-2.7]. -Doctor Ken, The Geometry Forum

The Excellence Center (EC) volunteers play a vital role in our mission to contribute to the development of the local community by nurturing well trained, professional graduates through a programme of high quality, free or inexpensive English language training and other activities. The Excellence Centre Volunteer Programme offers internationals the opportunity to develop teaching experience, as well as skills in administration, writing and editing.
Also crucial to the programme is the immersive experience of internationals in Palestinian daily life and culture through interactions with locals and travel within the local area and throughout the country. Applications for the EC Volunteering Programme in Palestine are accepted throughout the year, and individuals can choose to work with the Centre for a period of (1-12) weeks.
All EC accommodation for internationals is located within walking distance, or a quick inexpensive taxi ride away from the Centre. Female volunteers and men (availability permitting) are offered the opportunity of living with a local host family whilst other male volunteers stay in local EC dormitories. Volunteers of ages between eighteen and seventy from a variety of academic backgrounds and from around the globe are welcome to apply to volunteer with the EC.
Candidates are assessed through an online questionnaire and, subsequently an interview with Centre director, which typically lasts fifteen or twenty minutes. Academic training is not a volunteer's most important asset, and although teaching experience or qualification is preferable, it is not required.
Volunteers in Palestine are selected on the basis of their being considered a good fit for the Centre. In addition to a good command of the English language, volunteers should display a welcoming, friendly manner, a positive mindset, and convey eagerness to learn. Volunteers selected for the EC Programme assist Palestinian teachers with several classes of conversational English per week for students studying at levels from Beginner to Advanced.
In addition to practical training from staff, the EC provides volunteers with a manual teaching guide and other teaching resources including textbooks. As assistants, volunteers develop valuable teaching experience through helping staff to design course outlines, as well as participating in classroom discussions or debates and leading groups during activities.In contrast to the more traditional English teaching provided by local educational establishments, EC teaching is focused on enhancing students' proficiency and confidence in conversational English.
Lessons are not textbook based and existing lessons plans are amended for individual groups on a less by lesson basis. Activities, games, and genuine resources such as youtube videos, music, and newspaper articles are employed for an engaging, and enjoyable learning process. Through cooking and bringing food into class to describe, students might learn names of ingredients, whilst the names of various occupations could be studied through guessing games.
In addition to teaching conducted inside the Centre, all volunteers frequently participate in community development activities organised by EC with local educational establishments. Sports games and hour long English conversation workshops are a constant feature of community development activities, and the EC regularly runs employability skills workshops including CV writing and interview technique for Advanced university students.
However, activities change according to the requirements of our partners, and the specialisms of staff members. EC volunteers are invited to make suggestions for any lectures, events or workshops that they may wish to conduct with locals, according to their skills and knowledge. In the past, volunteers have conducted lessons in other romance languages, as well as music, painting or poetry classes, and photography workshops.
The majority of community development activities and English teaching classes take place in the afternoons. For this reason, typically, volunteers spread the three hours of Arabic teaching per week provided by the Program, across two mornings of 1.5 hour periods.
Although the majority of volunteers in Palestine choose to learn dialect with our native speaking staff in order to develop their abilities to communicate with locals, interns can also elect to study Fusha (MSA, Modern Standard Arabic).
Lesson time tables are relatively flexible, and can be adapted according to individuals' needs, and one day of holiday per week which, (in addition to Fridays when the Centre is closed according to custom) is scheduled on a week by week basis.
Social life is a vital part of a volunteer's experience at the EC and the Centre makes sure internationals and staff members feel welcome. Community at the Centre, begins in the Kitchen. The kitchen is where the working day starts, with a traditional Palestinian breakfast prepared by staff for local employees and internationals. A chat over falafel, hummus, Baba ganoush, cake and flat bread is a great way to start the day and a good opportunity to get to know everyone working with the Centre. In addition to occasional lunches prepared by staff members, Thursday evenings are reserved for preparing and sharing a traditional Palestinian meal, prepared in the Centre kitchen, or barbecued on the roof.
EC life also extends beyond the Centre and the working day week, with trips to local historical and cultural sites during the week, and, on Fridays, visits to locations further afield. Hiking in the Bethlehem village of Battir for instance, participating in a visit to Al-Shahada street, or to local handicrafts workshops, are important opportunities to get to know Palestinian culture and history from knowledgeable locals.
In addition to trips organised by the Centre as a whole, members of staff, as well as host families, often invite volunteers to family gatherings and other occasions such as weddings. These are unique opportunities for interns to develop their understanding of local culture, to enjoy Palestinian hospitality and develop friendships with locals. On a day to day basis, local Hebron coffee bars, pastry shops and falafel cafes are good places for internationals to meet new people, while shopping in the lively Old City is a great local trip with friends.
Many internationals also frequent to the local gym during their time working at the EC, which, though not segregated, is reserved for men in the evenings and women during the day. The gym is located just a few minutes walk from the Centre, and sessions can be booked on an individual basis, quite cheaply. With the wealth and diversity of experience and knowledge developed at the EC, volunteers represent a valuable resource both for Palestinians, and the international community.
For this reason, in addition to teaching and other, minor administrative responsibilities, volunteers are required to contribute one article per day to the Centre website.
The EC is proud to offer volunteers with the programme a unique opportunity to consolidate previous experience and develop new skills whilst contributing to the life of the local area, and a fruitful discourse between Palestine and the international community.

Drug and Alcohol Rehab Treatment Programs – We will help you choose the drug and alcohol rehab most likely to help you or your loved one become alcohol or drug free.
Drug Rehab Treatment Centers Vary In Quality
Drug rehabilitation centers are the best bet for families and loved ones of someone in need of drug rehab treatment or alcohol abuse rehab treatment. These facilities provide specialized services such as alcohol detox, addiction rehab, inpatient alcohol treatment programs, drug rehab facilities and residential alcohol rehab treatment that are necessary to overcome an addiction. It's highly unlikely that someone needing drug help is going to beat their addiction without the help of specialized drug rehab centers. To get to the point of being drug free requires the highly trained and compassionate staff and experience offered at a rehab facility.
The same holds true for alcoholism. Alcohol treatment centers offer the best chance for an alcoholic to regain their former life. These facilities offer the alcohol help that makes the difference between success and failure.
There are thousands of drug rehab centers and alcohol treatment centers across the country. Unfortunately, they don't all offer the same quality of alcohol rehab program treatment or treatment for drugs. It can be overwhelming trying to see past the promotional material to try to discover which long term alcohol rehab treatment is being run by a caring, committed organization and which clinic is being operated as a profit generating center. The sheer volume of choice means you could be reading up on alcoholism treatment programs for weeks, but without expertise or contacts it's difficult to find out which alcohol abuse treatment centers have a good reputation and which might be questionable.
Drug Rehab Programs Have Different Approaches
Another complication when choosing rehab centers is the fact that each drug rehab treatment center and alcohol addiction center takes a different approach. Outside of program quality, not every approach is suited for every person. Rehabilitation centers that offer highly individualized programs tend to offer the best success rates and because they have flexibility, they're more likely to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Among the basic program types that different drug and alcoholism treatment centers offer are: inpatient rehab, detoxification programs, long term rehab programs and outpatient counseling.
Outside of the basic program types, different facilities take very different approaches to treatment. This variation can significantly affect the outcome for patients in alcohol and drug rehabs, and can also have a big impact on cost. Some clinics employ fixed duration programs and release patients after 30 days. While this approach works for many patients, other people may find fixed term drug rehab programs are too short and don't give the time they need for a full recovery. Many clinics offer 12-step programs for alcoholic treatment; while 12-step programs have been popular for decades, they may not represent the best choice in alcohol rehab for all people. Every approach has its benefits and drawbacks and every individual responds differently, so finding the program that's most likely to succeed for your loved one by considering their unique needs is critical.
Help Choosing the Right Drug Rehabilitation Facility
The complexity in choosing alcohol recovery programs or drug programs for your loved one is why Drug-Rehab.org was founded as a free service. As a nonprofit organization tasked with simplifying this task and helping people to make informed choices, we track thousands of drug rehab facilities and alcoholic treatment centers across the country. Our placement counselors have the experience in the field and access to the information about each of these facilities that let them provide a valuable service: to help you make the right choice when it comes to finding the help your loved one needs to overcome their drug or alcohol addiction.
Our staff are highly trained, they have access to a wealth of information and they are able to help you understand the difference between different options that can have a huge impact on whether your loved succeeds or fails. For example, the choice between inpatient alcohol treatment centers and long term alcohol treatment centers is an important one. Sending an alcoholic to the wrong center is almost certain to end in failure. Call and talk to us and we'll help you to make the best choice for your loved one, whether they would benefit from in patient treatment or a different rehab addiction approach. We listen to you and make a recommendation that also takes practical factors into account: where you live, and how affordable the treatment needs to be to fit within your budget, for example. When you call us, you can stop worrying about making the wrong the choice and start looking forward to your loved one taking that first step toward a sober, drug-free life.

A 25-year-old man who punched a 14-year-old boy was sentenced to nine months in prison last Wednesday at Craigavon Magistrates Court.
Barry Rainey, Drumellan Park, Craigavon, admitted the assault on February 1 this year.
He was given a five month jail term and a four month suspended sentence was put into operation to run consecutively, making a total of nine months in custody.
The court heard that at 9.30pm the injured party told police he had been punched on the right side of his head.
A description was given of the attacker and Rainey was located a short time later.
The case had been adjourned from a previous court so that a pre-sentence report could be obtained.
A solicitor for Rainey said he was clearly embarrassed at what happened and regretted it.
District Judge, Mr Mervyn Bates, said Rainey was amassing an unenviable criminal record for someone of his age, with 40 offences already.
The solicitor said the defendant was highly intoxicated and had very little memory of the incident.
Judge Bates pointed out that Rainey had received a suspended sentence in November for a drugs offence and he had breached that just two and a half months later.
He added that the young person who was assaulted was very frightened.
Rainey had called him an unpleasant name and told him that he next time he would break his jaw.
Judge Bates said he regarded this as a very serious assault which was aggravated because it was a young victim.
Rainey was later released on bail to appeal the sentence.

(part 1 of 2)
Why an old shop tour?
Before the end of 2006, I will put together a tour of my shop as it is currently set up. In the meantime, I offer this old tour. It shows the shop just after I finished building it and populating it with machinery.
My workshop (called Shed 2) was the first major project after my retirement in early 2003 and I am relying upon it to serve as the home base for most my projects for at least the next twenty five years. I designed and built the shop almost entirely by myself, and it was very satisfying project. I only hope that some of my future projects will be as rewording.
The shop fits well into my city suburban lot, leaving room for a good sized vegetable/herb garden, decks, patios, flowers, shrubs, and even some grass. The building blends into the neighborhood, and I liked the roof and colour scheme so much that, in the autumn of 2005, I re-shingled and re-painted the house to match the shingles and paint on the shop.
One constraint was that the wall close to our neighbours house had to be low and could have no windows. The restriction was turned into a feature by having a large roof overhand protecting storage racks on the 40 foot wall (33 foot workshop and 7 foot adjacent garden storage shed).
The interior space of the shop is 431 square feet which sounds like a lot to non-woodworking folks, but when you have to fit a lot of benches, machines, supplies, and tools into that space, it fills up quickly. The main way to combat this is to make almost everything in the shop mobile. The buildings outline makes the best possible use of the limited space and, furthermore it fits our odd-shaped lot well. The shape of the shop is what I call a squat T having a squarish middle section with wings protruding to either side at the top.
The middle area is approximately 16 feet by 16 feet with a cathedral ceiling that peeks at 10 feet. This section, coupled with the double doors at the front, provides sufficient space for the manipulation and processing of sheet goods and lumber.
The quiet wing contains, a wood stove, some easy chairs, a chalk board, and a drafting table. It feels quite different than the rest of the shop and is a great place to relax. My grandchildren and I particularly like reading stories here in front of a roaring fire.
The remaining wing contains benches, parts storage bins/drawers, and hand tool storage.
The shop was designed so that two people can work together on projects. Mobility and distinct work areas are the keys to this. I want my shop to be a place where friends and relatives feel welcome and I very much enjoy working with others. As a child, I was always welcome in the workshops of my Dad, my Granddad, two of my Uncles, and one of my Aunts. Together, they instilled a love of woodworking in me that I, in turn, passed on to my two daughters, and now am starting to pass on to my grandchildren. From some of the photos of the shop interior, you can see that little children have already been contributing art to the walls. Several joint projects with friends, children, and grandchildren are in the planning stage and three are currently underway.
I have had a work shop or access to someone elses workshop forever. The first one I could call my own was a distributed shop occupying the closet, storage locker, and balcony in the apartment we rented after Margaret and I were married in 1966. Since then, we have moved many times and lived in three different countries. Each of our homes has always had some sort of shop. All these shops had good aspects and bad, but the worst thing was always inadequate tools and lack of good organization. The later meant that, even when I had the right tool or part, I often could not find it. Finally, I have the shop of my dreams, with all the tools that I need (well there is always something new that I want but that is not the same as need) and, even better than that, everything has a home and I know where everything is!
So, with a good layout, good tools, good organization, and good friends and relatives to share it, my woodworking shop is perfect for me. May I continue to have the good health to enjoy the shop for many years to come!
Site Plan:
Below is the site plan of our lot as it appears in the building permit for my shop. I subsequently got permission to expand the shop with a wing to the north-west (the top left in the diagram), but the shop building remains in the spot that it occupies in the original diagram.
Here are a couple of pictures of the exterior from different perspectives:
And here we are using ramps to bring the table saw into the shop through the double doors:
Shop Name:
Its name is Shed 2. I carved this sign that hangs over the single door:
That begs the question: Where is Shed 1? Shed 1 (also called The Shed):
is located at Pellows Camp about 1000 kilometres north west of Shed 2. Shed 1 is a combined workshop, bunkie, and storehouse that I built about 15 years ago. Here are a couple of photos:

On Tuesday, 11th, preparing for an early start to-morrow morning for malange.
So they returned and I accompanied them to the mission-house in malange.
An onward march of sixty-two miles brings us to malange, a town of probably 2,000 population, and noted for its merchandise.
Our Committee has sent a new supply of farming implements and carpenters tools for malange, soon to arrive.
Then, for most of the way to malange we cross ridges less fertile, much higher, with an ascent of from two to four miles.
For many miles around malange, there is a fair supply of good hard-wood timber in variety.
They are now engaged in building a wall round our malange Mission premises 1,000 feet long.
During my recent visit to malange, I offered to refund Ardellas money with interest.
Coimbra, seven miles this side of malange, nearly four years ago.
Leaving malange, we passed quickly, without deviation, along the path by which we had come.

In what is to be one of the biggest acquisitions for the year 2012, Britain based luxury mobile phones manufacturer, Vertu is now all set to be acquired by the European private equity firm Permira. The parent company of Vertu, Finland based mobile phone giant Nokia is now reportedly close to finalizing the deal, which as per estimates would bring in a whopping $264 million to Nokia. Since the emergence and subsequent increase in popularity of Google Android smartphones as well as the iPhone series, Nokia has been feeling the pinch of aggressively competitive mobile phone market. Vertu, which was founded in the year 1998, has for more than decade served as the face of bespoke luxury mobile phones that though lack the evolutionary technological prowess, yet have charmed their way into the world of the rich and the affluent with their gorgeous looks, mind blowing hand crafted designs and insane price tags. It wasn't until October 2011 that the luxury phone behemoth launched its very first luxury smartphone in the form of the Vertu Constellation, a touch screen smartphone that is powered by the famed Symbian OS. The to-be buyer of Vertu, equity firm Permira is known to be the owner of several other luxury brands such as the likes of Hugo Boss and Valentino.
Vertu handsets have always been in the news especially for the use of exotic materials such as titanium, sapphire glass and gems that were used in their creation. However, another mind blowing aspect of these luxury phones is the staggering price tags that accompany these unique creations. Vertu handsets are known to begin from $8,000 and the prices continue to surge. A befitting example of an expensive Vertu 'dumb' phone is the Vertu Signature Cobra, a limited edition luxury phone that was launched in the year 2006 and carried an enormous price tag of $350,000. Furthermore, Vertu is also widely acclaimed in the luxury industry for its bespoke concierge service that has been designed exclusively for Vertu customers. This unique service is comprised of a phone application and a U.K based customer service center that strives local events and enticing deals with Vertu partners for its discerning clientele. As per the analysis of the proposed Vertu sale deal, this proposed venture will in fact play in favor of the now demining Nokia, which after embracing Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8 OS for its smartphones, while subsequently putting an end to Symbian OS will now be able to give more attention towards the middle market segment. Not only the $264 million deal will provide Nokia with much needed finances, but it will also help the company in focusing entirely on its current projects as well as its future endeavors.

The 12 casinos in operation all offer both slot machine and table game gambling, employ over 16,000 people, and collectively generate an average of $4 million per day in tax revenue. A portion of that money is used for property tax reduction to all Pennsylvania homeowners; provide funds to the Commonwealth's horse racing industry, fire companies, a statewide water and sewer project grant program, and the state's General Fund; and, established a new stream of tax revenue to local governments that host casinos for community projects.
A wealth of information about the Gaming Control Board's regulatory efforts and Pennsylvania's gaming industry can be found at www.gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov. At this website, visitors can watch Board meetings live or view videos of past meetings, look up future meeting schedules and past meeting transcripts, obtain information on identifying a gambling problem and gaining assistance, access an interactive map of casino locations, request a speaker for their group, along with much more information.

Cinema 2012: the Movies We Watched this Year
Throughout 2012, there were a healthy amount of movies that Alana and I saw in theaters. Even though tomorrow is the last day of the year and we might see a movie (Les Miserables, most likely), this post comes now.
Here are the 30 movies that we saw in theaters this year, basically in order. There were plenty of movies that we saw out of theaters as well; the first one that comes to mind is actually Kung Fu Panda 2. Also, we just recently watched Safety Not Guaranteed. Throw Alana's first time seeing Nightmare Before Christmas and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation to that list.
It's funny because we've already seen so many of these movies, but this was the year of the re-release in 3d, or at least it feels like it.
I'll just throw a few words about each movie, some we did actual reviews for and others didn't make it in time.
Beauty and the Beast 3d: Arguably my favorite animated movie, and feature film, of all time, it's easily in the top ten if you ask me any day. We had seen The Lion King re-release last year and this was a no brainer. Alana had to stop me from singing along throughout the movie. It's always in the discussion and usually the front runner for favorite Disney movie of all time.
The Grey: It was about Liam Neeson and wolves so we had to see it. Plus, I love snow and the cold. This movie was such a let down with an awful anti-climatic ending and a series of ridiculous deaths. The scenery was beautiful and the soundtrack was intriguing though.
Star Wars Episode 1: Phantom Menace 3d: Even Alana's hatred of the new trilogy couldn't keep us away from this one. It's my favorite of the new trilogy because of Qui Gon, Darth Maul, and Duel of the Fates, thank you John Williams. The 3d felt non-existent but we enjoyed it being loud and large.
The Secret World of Arrietty: Continuing the streak of seeing anything related to Hayao Miyazaki whenever possible. It's not one of his classics, but that still ranks it as an amazing movie. We loved it, the soundtrack was out of this world good.
Jiro Dreams of Sushi: Arguably my favorite movie of the year and the simplest one at that. I love sushi and Japan and Jiro Ono is the master of serving the finest. This was a masterpiece, perfectly put together with the most amazing images. We got sushi outside Lincoln Center right after it.
The Hunger Games: We did not enjoy this one even though one of us read the book prior and one didn't. Obviously Alana read it. Mainstream trash in my opinion, although there were a few good special effects, costumes, and performances… Stanley Tucci.
Wrath of the Titans: It was nowhere near as good as the first one but Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, and Ralph Fiennes did the best they could to convince. It was too over the top, Bill Nighy, but my love for Greek mythology left me with a smile at the end. There was just so much more they could have done, recast Gemma Arterton as Ao, so it was the worst thing a movie could be, disappointing.
Titanic 3d: Smiled throughout the whole film. The 3d wasn't very good, but Celine Dion and this movie on the big screen made for a great time.
Avengers: Being a big comic book nerd and having seen all of the movies leading up to this one, we were thrilled with this movie. Great casting Thor and Captain America, finally getting a good Hulk, Joss Whedon is a genius (See Firefly), I could go on for a long time. Alana bought it the day it came out on blu-ray and we watched it that night.
Men in Black 3: I love this series and Will Smith is great. This movie had such great witty humor in it, we were laughing, we were biting our nails, we were just loving it. It had a better story than the second one and potentially the first. It was a fun movie.
Snow White and the Huntsman: I actually was really looking forward to this one based on the trailer but I didn't have huge expectations because I didn't want to be disappointed and it hit home just right. It wasn't amazing but it was good. I enjoyed it thoroughly although a second viewing is questionable.
Brave: We enjoyed seeing this one in Chicago while going across the country and it was just a nice movie. I'm not a huge Pixar fan so it was definitely one of my top choices from them, but it was the ancient lore of the world they created in it that made me like it so much.
Beasts of the Southern Wild: We saw this one at the FOX lot in Los Angeles and it was amazing. The little girl who plays the lead gets my breakout actress of the year award, and arguably best female lead of the year. The cinematography was perfect. In a league with Jiro in terms of quality.
Ice Age Continental Drift: A fun family movie we all saw together for free again at the FOX lot. I didn't see all the prequels but it was clever enough and fun enough to deliver well… enough.
The Dark Knight Rises: It was good, I enjoyed the ending no spoilers, but it doesn't live up to the hype for me. I haven't been too crazy about the series despite having a long history with Batman. People can call me crazy but I have my experience and I enjoyed Michael Keaton's movies the most, although these have some great qualities.
Ruby Sparks: A really cute creative movie that made us smile a lot. We enjoyed it when we all saw it at FOX. Great showing from independent movies this year, really.
Resident Evil Retribution: This was the MOST disappointing movie of the year for me. I see the Resident Evil movies for my birthday every year and they always are garbage, but this was the worst by far. They tore the actual story line apart and threw away everything Capcom has done for the last near twenty years.
Hotel Transylvania: Cute, about what we expected from it. Good cast of voice actors, but nothing special got across from this one. No amazing messages, it was just blah.
Frankenweenie: Really didn't enjoy this one as much as critics did, it was the same recycled material Tim Burton has been using for years. Batman was great, Edward Scissorhands was perfect, and Nightmare was a classic, but everything since then, including this, has just been pieces of each.
Pitch Perfect: We loved this movie, I even bought the soundtrack the next day on iTunes and it's still on my phone. It was predictable but the comedy and performances were good enough to keep us very entertained.
Taken 2: I loved Taken, but this was awful. Huge disappointment. They really messed this one up. All you needed to do was make Liam Neeson be really cool for an hour and a half. Instead you decide to spend half the movie chatting in a car, mansion and hotel with no action at all. Trying to set up a huge ending? Failed.
007 Skyfall: In the running for favorite movie of the year, which says a lot since this year was stacked. Daniel Craig is phenomenal in living up to the man that Ian Fleming actually created in his books. Bond is a ladies man, but he also has a dark side and mysterious past and this movie really focused on that. The action was great, the villain was one of the best ever, it was Bond.
Wreck it Ralph: Not quite a Disney classic, but the nostalgic effect of the characters involved with the smart humor and fun story line made a very good movie. It was very good. I would imagine best animated film of the year, edging Arrietty.
Lincoln: Daniel Day Lewis did a creepy job capturing Lincoln and the movie focused on a subject we feel so strongly about, but it was just very long. I'm sure a few scenes, including when he failed to garner a vote from one man, could have been left out with the same effect. Maybe some people like that scene, but it's just me.
Rise of the Guardians: Really fun voice acting and the kids probably loved this one. We enjoyed it but it wasn't anything special.
Fellowship of the Ring: 14 hour marathon.
The Two Towers: We were sick.
Return of the King: We enjoyed every minute of it.
The Hobbit 3d: We loved the lore, the soundtrack, the acting, we loved everything. We thought Peter Jackson cut it off at the perfect spot. But we wish we didn't see it in 3d Dolby Atmos because the frame rate was just too high and it was so loud it was 4d with an earthquake. We are going to see this one again in the regular showing and I think it will be multiple times better. Can't wait for the next one.
Life of Pi 3d: Beautiful visuals and captivating performances. It was very enjoyable and something we expect from Ang Lee, who brought us Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
So, not including all of the movies that we had already seen (Beauty and the Beast, Phantom Menace, Titanic, LOTR Trilogy) we have 25 new movies that we saw in theaters this year. I think it's time for some awards! (These are Chris, not Alana… sorry she's at work and has better taste)
Starting with the bad awards! Every movie here gets an award, maybe.
Worst Ending: The Grey
Worst Adaptation: The Hunger Games
Biggest Disappointment: Resident Evil Retribution
Worst Sequel: Taken 2
Longest Feeling Movie: Lincoln
Most Unoriginal: Frankenweenie
Most Blah: Hotel Transylvania
Most Potential Lost: Wrath of the Titans

Most Visually Stunning: Life of Pi
Best Breakout Movie: Beasts of the Southern Wild
Most Captivating Acting Performances: Ruby Sparks
Best in Humor: Pitch Perfect
Best Adventure: The Hobbit
My Personal Favorite of the Year: Jiro Dreams of Sushi
For me, that turns into a top 10 of the year (of 25), that more or less looks like this off the top of my head:
1. Jiro Dreams of Sushi
2. 007 Skyfall
3. The Avengers
4. The Hobbit
5. The Secret World of Arrietty
6. Pitch Perfect
7. Beasts of the Southern Wild
8. Wreck it Ralph
9. Ruby Sparks
10. Life of Pi
Honorable Mentions: Brave, Men in Black 3
And like I mentioned earlier, hopefully we get to see Les Miserables tomorrow night. It will probably crack the top 5 easily, top three maybe, number one potentially. I have a long history with Les Mis and it could really hit me in the right, or wrong, spot. I will be VERY critical based on reading the book in French and English, seeing the Broadway play in New York multiple times, seeing the past movie with Liam Neeson as Valjean, and creating my own arrangements of the broadway soundtrack.
We really wanted to see Cloud Atlas but never got around to it. We, aka I, also had interest in but either missed out or will probably miss out on Argo, Silent Hill, Man with the Iron Fists, and Cirque du Soleil. I'm probably going to try to get Alana to see Django also, but we'll let you know in a future review post if we see it!

Safety Office on the Lookout for Snow Damage
Posted: February 24, 2003 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
By Sharon Taylor
The Safety Office is asking faculty and staff to notify it of loss or damage in offices and classrooms that may have resulted from the recent snowstorm. Joyce French, risk manager, says assistance identifying damage helps the Physical Plant Department make repairs quickly and consider prevention options to limit future damage.
While a waterlogged desk is the obvious damage scenario, French urges people to keep an eye open for damage they hadn't noticed before. The things most likely to occur from snow are leaking from ceilings or roofs, roof or gutter damage from the weight of snow or ice, and damage that may occur as the snow melts. Once a damage assessment has been made, the Safety Office will file an insurance claim.
Contact French at email@example.com or call Work Control at (703) 993-2525.

Meet Dr. Neil Rofsky Chair of the Department of Radiology
- Holder of the:
- Effie and Wofford Cain Distinguished Chair in Diagnostic Imaging
For Neil Rofsky, M.D., Chair of Radiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center, scientific discovery is a creative discipline a lot like music performance. Dr. Rofsky is quite at home in both worlds. A trained oboist, he reflects on the experimentation required to shape the reeds that produce the instrument's unique sound.
I always had a compelling interest in science, but I also relished the thought that I could make a difference in people's lives. It's a privilege to be a physician – I absolutely love it."
"There is no prescription for success," he says. "You scrape, you play. You scrape, you play, until you get the best sound and stability. It's an iterative process. Experimentation in science also works this way."
Dr. Rofsky is also Director of Translational Research for UT Southwestern's Advanced Imaging Research Center (AIRC). He is continuing his career-long efforts toward developing novel approaches to detecting and monitoring prostate, liver, and renal cancers through the use of high-spatial-resolution and physiologic-based magnetic resonance imaging techniques.
"In a certain percentage of our work, the critical skill lies in how good we are at generating an image that reveals very small areas of diseased tissue," he says, "because if you can't demonstrate it, you can't find it. There's an aesthetic element, too, and when the generated image comes out well, you often feel in awe, and more importantly, you've created an image that enables important observations. Then, patients can receive the most targeted and effective treatments."
Imaging has become a mainstay in a physician's diagnostic tool kit. Thus, Dr. Rofsky recruits radiologists who work across every specialty in UT Southwestern's hospitals and clinics. Their mission is to ensure that patients receive the best quality diagnoses and image-guided therapies along with genuine caring about their conditions and quality of life.
Dr. Rofsky and his team are also key members in multidisciplinary teams pooling their expertise and talents to "translate" basic science discoveries into positive changes in standards of care for patients. For him, the real success is when discovery brings about meaningful help for patients.
