I started my career in Digital Marketing as a Govt. Consultant for a firm in Tallahassee, FL., and became the Palm Beaches most innovative nightclub marketer. Eventually I settled down and worked in the OEM Manufacturing field where I had no clue this whole market even existed.
I learned from very smart engineers about how to build the components and how they work in pretty much every car that has a screen. The one thing I didn't get was a good learning about marketing. So I…Continue

Laser 1300 Red Plain Shaggy Rug
Red is a romantic, statement making, bold colour. It represents passion, and its vibrancy helps brighten any room. It is also a classy colour that can compliment almost any other décor, particularly monochrome themes.
This rug is thick, meaning it is comfortable and luxurious underfoot. It adds depth and texture to a room moreso than thinner rugs, but should be used in low traffic areas to maintain greater longevity.
Shaggy rugs add luxury like no other. Not only do they feel beautiful underfoot, but their instantly recognisable long pile look adds fun, uniqueness and depth. They are practical too in terms of generating warmth which means your heating bills wont be as high.

Research In Motion have released a statement claiming that its Blackberry App world has surpassed the 1.5 million downloads per day announced in September 2010 to an impressive 2 million downloads per day.
This is good news I guess to all of us, although I wish RIM would include some useful Apps, rather than fart apps and so many news app. Also, the performance of App world itself has to be improved. From the delays in notifications of updates to its poor caching system, a solution will be very much welcome.
Nokia, fighting for bragging rights with RIM for 3rd and 4th place positions in the Vendor app store stakes, are said to have over 2.3 million downloads per day from their own Ovi Store as of October 1st. It will be interesting to see who comes out victor in this particular battle.

It now seems the whole Wes girlfriend mystery has finally been solved or has it? Coming out in Wes's defense today is the alleged girlfriend mentioned on this week's episode of The Bachelorette.
Laurel Kagay spoke out to People claiming Jillian Harris has nothing to worry about when it comes to Wes two timing her. Laurel claims to have been in shock when she heared her name mentioned during the last episode. "I was like, 'What?'" Laurel, 29, states. "There was this pause before he said my name — and then he said it quite a few times."
Laurel, owner of Peach Body Boutique in Austin, Tex., however insists she and Wes are just friends: "I'm absolutely not with Wes, nor would I be if he were going on a show to be with another girl," she says. "That's absolutely crazy."
So why did both Jake and Tanner mention Wes having a girlfriend? "And I think Wes did say something about his ex-girlfriend. Maybe he said he still cares about me or whatever. Maybe he talked a little too much about me, and Jake just blew that into something else." However, Laurel admits, "We are really good friends and we do go out to lunch together, so I could see how people could think we're together." Not sure I'm buying this.
Oh but there's more to Laurel. She has had her fair share of Bachelors as she is also linked to another famous name in The Bachelor franchise – Brad Womack, you know the bachelor who chose no one on his season finale. According to Laurel, they dated for four years.
She has also dated Collin Evans, who was briefly a contender on The Bachelorette season starring Jen Schefft.
I'm not buying this whole we were just friends thing. Wes seems like the slimey type and I think Jillian should have sent him packing. I believe Jake on this one and do believe Wes came on the show only for the fame because he actually admitted to that on a past episode. So I do not doubt for one second that he was dating this Laurel person while pretending to be there for Jillian. This seems to be his lame attempt to save his so called career as a country singer.

Yeah, we loved him in "The Sixth Sense" too, but Haley Joel Osment hasn't really done much for us since then. That said, the synopsis for his upcoming film is, on the face of it, pretty amusing.
"Sex Ed" will star Osment as "a college graduate who dreams of teaching high school Algebra but due to budget constraints, ends up teaching sex education, despite being a virgin. He discovers an unlikely mentor in a blues bar, a ruthless enemy in the local PTA, and a gorgeous Polish girl for whom English is a distant second language," accoridng to The Hollywood Reporter.
OK, so the "mentor in a blues bar" sounds painfully trite (today's call for a moratorium is on "wise old black men who teach main-character white folk what's important"), but the rest of it holds some promise. Or maybe we're just over-tired.

For daring to oppose Chuck Hagel's nomination to be Secretary of Defense, Chris Matthews on Thursday snarled that Ted Cruz is the new Joe McCarthy. Comparing the Republican senator from Texas to liberalism's highest villain, Matthews ranted, "You know, I don't often say it, and I rarely say it, but there was echoes of Joe McCarthy there. Really strong echoes." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
The Hardball anchor came to this conclusion after playing a clip of Cruz pointing out that the "government of Iran [is] formally and publicly praising" Hagel's nomination. Matthews's guest, Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, unsurprisingly agreed: "It was absolutely McCarthy-like!" Matthews's claim that he "rarely" compares people to McCarthy is just wrong. He's done it a number of times.
On July 28, 2010, Matthews whined that Republicans like Michele Bachmann use "Joe McCarthy tactics."
On April 2, 2010, the journalist lashed out at Rush Limbaugh for using the word regime. Matthews fumed, "I don't even think Joe McCarthy ever called this government a 'regime.'"
On Thursday, Matthews trashed Cruz: "Well, the jackals are in the street tonight." Would Matthews so casually refer to a Democratic Hispanic senator as a "jackal?"
During the month of January, in the span of two weeks, Matthews twice compared conservatives to "segregationists." Clearly, the anchor is getting lazy with his slurs.
A transcript of the February 14 exchange is below:
[Talking about Ted Cruz attacking Chuck Hagel's confirmation.]
CLAIRE MCCASKILL: You don't cross that line and impugn someone's patriotism with no evidence. It was absolute McCarthy-like!
CHRIS MATTHEWS: We have the tape. Let's show Ted Cruz of Texas saying that very thing in your committee on Armed Services.
TED CRUZ: We saw with his nomination something truly extraordinary, which is the government of Iran formally and publicly praising the nomination of a Defense Secretary. I would suggest to you that, to my knowledge, that is unprecedented, to see a foreign nation like Iran publicly celebrating a nomination.
MATTHEWS: You know, I don't often say it, and I rarely say it, but there was echoes of Joe McCarthy there. Really strong echoes. Your thoughts. I mean, how's he supposed to control what the PR agency out there in Tehran puts out there someday. How does that incriminate him?
MATTHEWS: Well, the jackals are in the street tonight. Thank you so much, Claire McCaskill.

A North Carolina pastor, Rodney Wills, faced the wrath of his congregation after attending a Rick Ross concert. Ross was described by a deacon in the church as "tearing down the kingdom of God," according to BlackAmericaWeb. Wills was also spotted nine months ago at a Lil Wayne concert.
[Twenty-six-year-old] Rodney Wills was fired from his position at a North Carolina church after he was spotted at a Rick Ross concert.
Wills was a pastor at Mt. Salem Baptist Church in North Carolina for almost four years when he was unexpectedly fired.
The deacon board voted 11 to 3 when they met to vote whether Wills should keep his job or not.
Wills was unaware of his firing until he showed up to the church and he noticed his parking sign had been removed from his usual spot …
One of the Deacons, Deacon Miles Langley, released a statement about the firing that reads, "We cannot have our leader supporting people of this world who are tearing down the kingdom of God," reports the Guardian Express.

The 2011 Hamptons International Film Festival SummerDocs program marches on with the July 22 screening of Page One: Inside the New York Times at the John Drew Theater at Guild Hall in East Hampton at 8 p.m. Andrew Rossi's Page One is a documentary showing a whole year behind the scenes at The New York Times. Alec Baldwin is scheduled to take time off from his Miami filming schedule to jet back to East Hampton in order to moderate the post-screening discussion that makes SummerDocs that much more entertaining.
HIFF Executive Director Karen Arikian, Director of Programming David Nugent and board member Alec Baldwin have once again selected a timely film about the print media.
The 2011 SummerDocs season was launched when a sold-out crowd watched the screening of Buck, a Cindy Meehl-directed film about Buck Brannaman, a dynamic man who is a true horse whisperer. James Lipton and Meehl led that post-film discussion. Baldwin will play that role for Page One, and as David Nugent said, he "has nothing less than huge admiration" for the job Baldlwin does "selecting and hosting" SummerDocs. [expand]
As for Page One, director Andrew Rossi and co-writer Kate Novack present the colorful media reporter for the Times, David Carr, in a way that will make you search for his work after the screening. Some believe the villain of the movie could be real estate mogul Sam Zell, who purchased the Tribune Company through his massive leverage. The Tribune Company consisted of the Chicago Tribune, Newsday, the Los Angeles Times, the Baltimore Sun and other media sources. Maybe it's bad management, maybe just a sign of the times, but the reality of bankruptcy is showing its ugly face throughout the entire industry.
By the way, the movie references last year's SummerDocs "Most Dangerous Man," Daniel Ellsberg, when Times editor Bill Keller admits that "the bottom line, Wikileaks doesn't need us. Daniel Ellsberg did." He was referring to the printing of the Pentagon Papers in 1971, as well as the dealings last year of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and Wikileaks' presumed leaker, Private Bradley Manning.
I am a news junkie and just watching the trailer for this film has me counting down the days until I can see it. It is about what journalism has become. The film explains what the media was and why it is heading into the future in a less secure position than many people believe. Quite frankly, this is a must-see and the timing in mid-July will ensure that it is well attended. Kudos to Baldwin for picking this documentary, and once again Guild Hall's John Drew Theater will have the full attention of a summer Hamptons crowd. Attendees will have the opportunity to absorb through film the essence of what is making our world's news reporting a changing reality that affects national policy and public opinion. Not to mention the drama of the deadline, known to all in publishing.
Tickets for all SummmerDocs programs can be purchased at either the Guild Hall ticket window or at guildhall.org. [/expand]

About Graves' Disease
Graves' disease, also known as toxic diffuse goiter, is an autoimmune disorder that is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States, a condition in which the thyroid gland produces excessive hormones. The disease is named after Sir Robert Graves, who first described the condition in the early 19th century.
What causes Graves' disease?
Normally, the immune system protects the body from infection by identifying and destroying bacteria, viruses and other potentially harmful foreign substances. But in autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the body's own cells and organs. With Graves' disease, the immune system makes an antibody called thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) — sometimes called TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) receptor antibody — that attaches to thyroid cells. TSI mimics TSH and stimulates the thyroid to make too much thyroid hormone. Sometimes the TSI antibody instead blocks thyroid hormone production, leading to conflicting symptoms that may make correct diagnosis more difficult. In some patients, swelling of the muscles and other tissues around the eyes may develop, causing eye prominence, discomfort or double vision.
Exactly why the immune system begins to produce these antibodies is unclear. Like other autoimmune diseases, this condition tends to affect multiple family members. It is much more common in women than in men and tends to occur in younger patients.
What are the signs and symptoms of Graves' disease?
Common signs and symptoms of Graves' disease include the following:
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Difficulty sleeping
- Fatigue
- A rapid or irregular heartbeat
- A fine tremor of your hands or fingers
- An increase in perspiration or warm, moist skin
- Sensitivity to heat
- Weight loss, despite normal eating habits
- Enlargement of your thyroid gland (goiter)
- Change in menstrual cycles
- Erectile dysfunction or reduced libido
- Frequent bowel movements or diarrhea
- Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) - a condition associated with Graves' disease that occurs when cells from the immune system attack the muscles and other tissues around the eyes, resulting in inflammation and a buildup of tissue and fat behind the eye socket, causing the eyeballs to bulge out. In rare cases, inflammation is severe enough to compress the optic nerve that leads to the eye, thus causing vision loss.
- Graves' dermopathy - a small number of people with Graves' disease also experience thickening and reddening of the skin on their shins or tops of feet
How is Graves' disease diagnosed?
Health care providers can sometimes diagnose Graves' disease based only on a physical examination and a medical history. Blood tests and other diagnostic tests, such as the following, then confirm the diagnosis.
TSH (THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE OR THYROTROPIN): An increased TSH level in the blood is the most accurate indicator of primary (non-pituitary) hypothyroidism. Production of this pituitary hormone is increased when the thyroid gland even slightly underproduces thyroid hormone.
T3 and T4: Another blood test used to diagnose Graves' disease measures T3 and T4 levels. In making a diagnosis, health care providers look for below-normal levels of TSH, normal-to- elevated levels of T4, and elevated levels of T3.
RADIOACTIVE IODINE UPTAKE (RAIU): The amount of iodine the thyroid collects from the bloodstream. High levels of iodine uptake can indicate Graves' disease.
THYROID SCAN: This scan shows how and where iodine is distributed in the thyroid. With Graves' disease the entire thyroid is involved, so the iodine shows up throughout the gland. Other causes of hyperthyroidism such as nodules—small lumps in the gland—show a different pattern of iodine distribution.
Graves' disease is often diagnosed and treated by an endocrinologist—a doctor who specializes in the body's hormone-secreting glands. People with Graves' disease have three treatment options: radioiodine therapy, medications and thyroid surgery. Radioiodine therapy is the most common treatment for Graves' disease in the United States.

Mother-daughter refuelling system: The ideal concept for transporting and distributing natural gas in regions without an existing natural gas pipeline system
A system of this type provides a means of supplying natural gas to remote stations that are not connected to the local gas grid without having to go to the expense and effort of installing the necessary infrastructure. The mother-daughter refuelling system represents a virtual pipeline.
Mother station (online station)
The concept of the mother station is based on the CNG compressor types used in the MFS and CFS series.
All of the storage systems and refuelling equipment in the BAUER portfolio can be combined with the compressor models of the mother station.
The modular way in which the system is designed and built makes it possible to dimension the mother station so that, in accordance with prevailing refuelling requirements,
It can support medium and high daily CNG capacities of up to 1800 passenger cars/day for the MB7200 mobile storage systems to be filled.
Dimensioned based on the MFS, CFS SMALL, CFS LARGE or CFS ECO series, the mother station can be enclosed inside a concrete or steel housing.
Daughter station (offline station)
The CFS 22.9 DS booster daughter station has been developed and successfully introduced for this special application.
Its primary task is to make the best possible use of the natural gas stored in the MB7200 mobile storage system under high pressure to fill its own cylinders and for further refuelling purposes.
When the mobile storage system is at high pressure, the daughter station will also allow vehicles to be refuelled directly from the mobile storage system. This concept enables high daily capacities to be reached.
MB 7200 mobile storage system
The MB 7200 storage system provides mobile cascaded high-pressure storage for a natural gas capacity of 2400 m³. Integrated refuelling equipment is provided for filling at the mother station and emptying at the daughter station.
Mother-daughter refuelling systems can be designed with tree or more mobile storage systems depending on requirements, thus safeguarding 100% availability of natural gas at the offline or daughter station.
All the information you need at your fingertips!
Compressor control
BAUER's B-CONTROL II fully automatic compressor control regulates and monitors all functions of the natural gas filling station from gas input to filling device. Read more
Compressor block
The BAUER compressor blocks have been designed specifically for CNG applications. Exceeding the requirements of all international safety standards, they are characterised by their high energy efficiency and reliability under the most demanding conditions. Read more
High-pressure gas treatment system
The high-pressure gas treatment system (high-pressure filter) is installed downstream of the compressor on the pressure side. Its primary function is to effectively remove excess moisture and possible oil deposits from the natural gas. Read more
Sound insulation and weather protection
The entire unit is integrated inside a housing made from concrete or steel for sound insulation and weather protection.
This provides the best possible protection against the most extreme ambient conditions and, thanks to the use of air handling units or heating systems, can be used in temperature ranges of ±55°C.
Tailored to meet your individual needs, our housings can be fitted with additional important options such as protection against sandstorms.
Storage system
The storage systems, which are made up of a number of special high-pressure vessels, are scalable, modular by design and suitable for installation both indoors and outdoors. Read more
Filling and refuelling control
Filling and refuelling control regulates the priority in which the high-pressure storage system is filled. During refuelling, it also regulates the sequence in which gas is withdrawn from the high-pressure storage system. Read more
Dispenser/Fill post
This dispensing unit is used for depot refuelling or in public filling stations. Read more
TÜV approval
During technical parts approval testing in the factory prior to delivery, the TÜV carries out comprehensive pressure and safety testing as well as testing the electrical equipment.
Our regional service teams deliver expert installation and commissioning including comprehensive operator induction. This ensures smooth operation at all times. Read more
Mother-daughter concept
The mother station ( 1 ) is connected to the gas grid. It supplies compressed natural gas to the special MB7200 mobile storage system ( 3 ) via integrated refuelling equipment.
The mobile storage system is transported to the remote offline (daughter) station ( 2 ).
On arrival there, the storage system is emptied to supply the daughter station with natural gas. Both the mother station and the daughter station are equipped with fill posts ( 4 ) so that vehicles can be refuelled.
All of the series in the mother-daughter refuelling system are modular by design. They can be expanded relatively easily and at reasonable cost and have been designed for high capacity performance at various pressure stages.

Gadgets: Odd-Sized Measuring Spoons
Kitchen gadgets, gear, and appliances to help you get things done.
More Gadgetry
I first encountered odd-sized measuring spoons on New Year's Eve, as my boyfriend's mom and I put together the main course in what would be one of the most elaborate home-cooked meals I've ever laid eyes on (I'll have you know that basket-woven fish was involved). I needed a teaspoon and a half of Armagnac, and fast, but my half and full teaspoons were busy with other things. That's when I spotted my saving grace in the drying rack, freshly used and rinsed: a 1 1/2 teaspoon.
I'll clarify one or two things right off the bat. First, my boyfriend's family has a gadgets closet that far outdoes even mine, and second, I'd never imagined need for odd-sized measuring spoons before 2010. But now that they've been introduced into my life, I'm not so sure I'd go back, and my boyfriend's family would be quick to agree.
Here's the funny thing: the set they own dates back almost as many years as I do, and that's not entirely without reason. Odd-sized measuring spoons are, well, an odd thing to find in most kitchen stores, and just as easy to overlook. As I continued to think about them weeks later, I turned to the Spoon Sisters—if they didn't have a nice set, who would?—but subsequent searches led me to a few other similar options, all in the same sizes. Who would think that odd-sized measuring spoons would be standardized? And why, then, not add them to standard sets?
All in all, the spoons ($13.50) come in a set of five: a pinch, 1/8 teaspoon, 2/3 teaspoon, 1 1/2 teaspoon, and 2 teaspoons. Of those, I already owned the 1/8 from my regular set, but have found the rest to be quite useful. For one, I'm no longer wondering whether my pinch is the same as someone else's. And so many recipes call for 1 1/2 teaspoon of something or another that I've found it's nice not to have to make two separate trips with two separate spoons. Necessary? No. Convenient? You bet.

North Kansas City Police Officer Jason Smith was patrolling Interstate 29 on December 20 when he spotted a kitten on the concrete barrier in the middle of the roadway.
There were cars speeding by in both directions, but Officer Smith was determined to save the tiny animal. Smith can be seen via his body camera footage scooping up the tiny kitten and bringing it into his squad car. The kitten didn't seem to mind, it settled into the officer's lap and got some pats and cuddles.
Officer Smith took the kitten to an animal shelter, but ultimately adopted her himself and named her Bella.

FORT WORTH — A convicted pedophile whose sex crimes date back at least 30 years has been sentenced to prison for failing to register as a sex offender.
The 70-year sentence imposed by a Tarrant County judge Tuesday effectively amounts to a life sentence for 69-year-old Lloyd Gibson.
Prosecutors say Gibson's latest offense was for removing his ankle monitor and relocating from Fort Worth to Austin without notifying authorities. He was added to the state's list of the 10 most wanted sex offenders before he was arrested in December 2012.
Prosecutors say during his sentencing hearing Tuesday, Gibson disclosed he was the man wanted for breaking into dozens of Houston homes at night in the late 1970s and exposing himself to children. The suspect came to be known as the "baseball cap bandit."

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Nobody knows anything.
As tag lines go, that's not likely to sell many movie tickets — or draw TV viewers — but in the immediate aftermath of San Diego's Comic-Con and on the eve of the two-and-a-half-week Television Critics Association summer meeting here, it's the closest anyone's likely to come to summing up the state of the entertainment industry in a way that's honest, truthful and at least as reliable as this week's box office figures.
The movie industry is on track for a record summer at the box office, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, but the sunny news masks a lead lining.
The major studios' swing-for-the-fences strategy has backfired, with a summer of colossal flops resulting in what Variety called a blueprint for disaster, judging from the hundreds of millions of dollars in red ink spilled by the major studios over such costly non-starters as The Lone Ranger, After Earth, White House Down, R.I.P.D. and Pacific Rim.
And while hit movie sequels like Iron Man 3 and Despicable Me 2 have done their part in shoring up the overall summer box office record, there's a feeling that shifting audience habits, fuelled by viewing-on-demand and the ever-shortening window between a movie's theatrical release and its appearance on iTunes, Netflix and other online services, is prompting a tectonic shift in Hollywood's business model.
The situation is similar and yet different for the big screen's smaller-screen cousin. Mainstream network TV series don't demand that fans line up and buy a ticket to watch. They do demand, however, that enough viewers tune in to a specific show that advertisers remain happy.
Advertisers continue to place bets on what's becoming an increasingly unpredictable game, but — as with newspapers, magazines and the print media — it's a gamble they may not want to keep taking in an increasingly uncertain future.
The proven paradigm of networks spending big to find that one elusive hit is no longer the sure thing it was. For the major networks and studios, TV today is all about playing the short game — rolling the dice on instant success — and giving up on the long game.
This is how TV used to find its long-running, generation-defining like Seinfeld, Barney Miller, the Americanized version of The Office and even The X-Files — all programs which had modest beginnings and survived only because their parent networks were patient and willing to stick with them over time.
Last week's Emmy nominations highlighted the impact changing technology is having on what was once popular entertainment's most conservative, slow-to-change medium.
Netflix's arrival as a player in the Emmy game — with its series House of Cards earning a surprise outstanding drama nomination opposite Emmy perennials Mad Men, Homeland, Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad, together with best actor nominations for its stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright — signalled that the old way of doing business is fast becoming a thing of the past.
One of the big industry stories at the beginning of the week was the growing interest in multi-channel TV services from tech titans Apple and Google.
Variety noted that as recently as July 17, Apple and Google were talking separately with media companies about licensing entire, full-blown TV channels. Apple was even said to be interested in providing an ad-skipping option for the viewer.
If true — and some tech experts insist the technology isn't there yet — it could be the final blow to an industry already reeling from shifting winds of technological change. The 30-second ad has been the traditional lifeblood of the network TV business.
Whereas quality-driven pay-TV channels like HBO, The Movie Network, Super Channel and Movie Central rely on subscribers willing to shell out extra money on their monthly cable and satellite bills, the major broadcast networks get by on ads and ads alone.
For now, the networks and even ad-supported cable channels like Discovery, History and MTV are content to play the game the way they always have, by gambling that they and they alone know best what the audience wants — even though the evidence suggests that the old saw "Nobody knows anything" is as true now as when legendary Oscar winning screenwriter William Goldman coined it in his seminal 1983 book Adventures in the Screen Trade.
Over the next two and a half weeks, major U.S. broadcast networks NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC and, by extension, Canadian cousins CTV, City and Global will promote new sitcoms and dramas featuring familiar TV faces like Michael J. Fox, Sean Hayes, Will Arnett, Dylan McDermott, Tony Shalhoub, Kal Penn, Jerry O'Connell, Allison Janney, Arsenio Hall and Sarah Michelle Gellar, among others.
Viewers at home won't have a chance to see them on TV the old-fashioned way until the official start of the new season in September, following the Sept. 22 Emmy Awards.
In yet another sign of the changing times, though, the full pilot episodes of many new series will be available online, on their parent networks' websites, in advance.
While it may be true that nobody knows anything and many of the old rules no longer apply, some rules remain — especially the one about the value of marketing.
As the summer box office duds show, though, sometimes even marketing isn't enough. The times, they are indeed a-changin'. Change is the one constant.

Gus John lived through the 1980s as a community activist and youth worker in Moss Side, having arrived in the UK from the West Indies in the 1960s. In the aftermath of the 1981 Moss Side riots, he was a key figure in the Moss Side Defence Committee, which assisted with legal support to the youths charged by the police, challenged police violence and attempted to convey to the press and public a different interpretation of the events which had taken place. The committee would later undertake a detailed critique of the Hytner Report, established by the government to investigate the disturbances and their causes. Here Gus recalls his experiences of the times, in an interview carried out by Andrew Bowman just a week before the outbreak of rioting across England's urban centres in summer 2011.
1981 was the year in which British people of African descent protested against racism and police oppression as never before in modern history. The Black People's Day of Action on 2 March 1981 brought around 25,000 people onto the streets of London to protest against the massacre of 13 young Africans in a fire, suspected to have been caused by racists, at a birthday party in New Cross in South London. Protesters also attempted to highlight the misconduct of the Metropolitan Police force in their subsequent investigation, the bias of the press, the inadequate response of the government to the tragedy and the generalised racial discrimination in British society. Added to the problem of racial discrimination, the Conservative government's economic programme was making conditions worse in many poorer communities in inner city areas.
Between April and August that year there was violent urban unrest in St Paul's in Bristol, Brixton in South London, Toxteth in Liverpool, Moss Side in Manchester, Handsworth in Birmingham, and elsewhere in the country.
Gus, what were conditions like when you arrived in Moss Side?
I arrived in Moss Side on the 1st January 1971, having worked on youth and race in Handsworth in Birmingham for the Runnymede Trust. There was a vibrancy about it, in that people had organised themselves around a campaign to do with housing. The local authority was doing compulsory purchases and knocking down houses which were actually rather sturdy – some of them had fallen into disrepair but structurally they were pretty fine. There were campaigns to save these houses because people were not enamoured with what they had seen in Hulme – these deck access crescent buildings, which were not just an eyesore, they became very dangerous after a while.
But the two things that stuck out for me were, first, a lot of young people coming out of school and being unemployed for a long time. It was taking the average school leaver about six months to find any employment, and some of them simply joined an earlier generation of fathers or siblings who had not worked. The second thing that was obvious was the way in which the police operated within the community – they tended to see black people as exotic … and generally formed the impression that the older people were safe and sound: they shared commonly held values, they were disciplinarians keeping the children under control, and it was really the youth which were at odds with the establishment, and the police as the most visible arm of the establishment.
It is true that at that time many parents didn't want to see the police having cause to come near their home – it was seen as a massive stigma. It took a long time for parents to understand, based on their own experience, that your child didn't have to do something wrong for the police to appear on your doorstep. It wasn't always that young person's fault that the police got involved in their lives.
In 1972 I had got some money from the British Council of Churches to set up a hostel for young black people, because they were sleeping on their friends' floors or sleeping rough in Moss Side, the reason being that their parents had been decanted to places like Sale and Partington, as part of the whole so-called 'regeneration' business. And they continued to gravitate back to Moss Side, they would be here until after the last bus left, some of them would be in the night time dives – shebeens as we used to call them – and there was generally a sense of drift and disaffection among them. That made them even more in danger of getting involved with the police.
How similar were things in Moss Side to other areas of the UK you had worked in?
The four issues I just mentioned were present in all inner city areas I had worked in. I had just come from Handsworth, and one of the reasons for the Runnymede Trust commissioning the research I did there was that the Birmingham Evening Mail had run a series of stories called 'The Angry Suburbs', and one of them I remember was called 'Must Harlem come to Birmingham?' There were issues highlighted in those reports of unrest between black and white people which I have to say were not what I found in Birmingham.
Yes, there were tensions, with some white people feeling that black people were coming in numbers, taking homes etc, but what happened in Birmingham as in other parts of the country, was that the newcomers, black people from the Caribbean especially, were coming to find employment in areas where there was already an established working class, a neglected working class. So the quality of accommodation that local whites had was pretty poor anyway. As is typical of these situations, and not just in this country, the incoming black people were blamed for the squalor that had existed for generations.
So there were nuances, but generally you could identify issues which were common to most of those former industrial towns and cities. Many black children were being sent to schools for the educationally subnormal, not because they were in any way deficient, but because the schooling system refused to believe that those children were coming with a language of their own that was not Standard English.
That early period of 1968-73 was also the time when psychologists were propounding theories of scientific racism – suggesting that the intelligence levels of black people were lower than that of whites for genetic reasons. You had to battle against that gunge, especially as it was being taught in colleges that were training teachers – it really was horrendous.
What kind of police harassment did youngsters face in Moss Side?
I remember the first situation in which I personally intervened after arriving here, the police had stopped a young boy of about 13 cycling along Moss Lane West by the Hyde Brewery for riding his bicycle without lights. They were aggressive, and he was frightened. Rather than calming the situation, they started telling him to "stop being cheeky", and before long there was a confrontation. As you went up and asked what was going on, they would tell you to "mind your own fucking business" or they would arrest you as well, for "obstructing the police in the course of their duty".
We became aware of how vicious the police were to young people, so that when an incident like this happened, we would begin to gather, because the community wanted the police to know that we were watching what they were doing. The police became very on edge about that, very intolerant of the idea that anyone would witness what they were doing and question their conduct.
Here in Moss Side, as I had also witnessed in Oxford, Birmingham and London, it was not just happening to young people. Caribbean families, the men in particular, were proud of their cars. To own one was prestigious, and these men worked hard and bought their cars, and they were regularly being stopped by the police, for daring to own a vehicle like that: "Is it yours? Can you prove it is yours? What is your address? What is the proof of your address?" Constant petty harassment! There was a level of crime in these urban centres anyway, petty criminals as well as organised criminals – who were white. That criminality had not contaminated the black community in any measure when I came to Manchester.
Yes, some people got involved in crimes, burglaries etc. I used to teach black history at Wakefield Prison, and I was astounded by the zeal and zest with which prisoners there took to an understanding of black history and its relevance to them. They were interested in what was happening in the United States at the time, as they were about the 1962 Commonwealth Immigration Act, the 1968 Race Relations Act.
I told them about the work that I and others who were members of the Campaign Against Racial Discrimination did. How I would pair up with a white person and we would go looking for a room to rent or something. The black person would go in first and typically would have the door slammed in their face: "The room's gone." Your mate, the white person, would then go and was told, "It's five shillings, when are you moving in?"
We did the same in relation to job applications. The black person would present a form with the best qualifications, the white person would present a form with lower qualifications, and the white person would automatically be given the job. We did this research up and down the country, and we were able to present the government with incontrovertible evidence of the extent of visceral racial discrimination, and that caused the Harold Wilson government to enact the 1968 Race Relations Act and establish the Race Relations Board which was the precursor of the Industrial Tribunal.
All those people in Wakefield Prison had what I called arrested growth: very bright people. Some could give you the most horrendous stories about their schooling, and why they dropped out of school. In some cases they had had physical altercations with teachers, and were either expelled from school or never went back.
The fact is, there was not a high degree of engagement in delinquency or criminality among the African-Caribbean population … Now relative to our numbers in the population overall, the highest proportion of people in the prisons and young offender institutions are black people.
Ever since the beginning of the 1960s there has been systemic structural and structured exclusion of black people within the society, and that has got certain consequences. It becomes easy to believe that that is because black people don't have brains, which of course is complete nonsense. All of that is an important back-story to what people in Manchester were experiencing and grappling with in the 1970s and 1980s.
How active were organised racist groups in Manchester during the 1980s? Groups like the National Front?
Very active. In the year of the disturbances in Moss Side there were running battles between us and the NF. They had the temerity to come and hand out leaflets in Moss Side and Hulme, trying to inflame the passions of white people and encourage them to blame black people for whatever social deprivation they were suffering. What was pleasing about that was that the white community determined that they wanted nothing to do with the NF, and joined political activists such as myself, deciding that they as a white community would not allow the NF to get one inch of space within the white community, and physically booted them out.
So you had the harassment of the police, and then you had the planned collective attacks by white racists – people would be physically attacked, have excrement and firebombs put through their doors, or there would be NF signs put up around the place. That didn't come from nowhere – the neo-fascists became emboldened by the lead politicians gave…
Such as Enoch Powell?
Yes, such as Enoch Powell, but he could be seen as the extreme end of the spectrum. His problem was that he was open and honest about those matters. It was the people who were passing laws in Parliament, one more draconian piece of immigration legislation than the one before, who were constantly conflating immigration and race relations and holding up the spectre of an alien black force destabilising an assumed settled and cohesive society.
It was like a mantra: "You can't have good race relations unless you control immigration". In other words, if you don't control immigration, the white population will get fed up that you're expecting them to be too tolerant of these blacks. Or the black population would start creating mayhem. As a consequence, every year at a certain point, even before the Office for National Statistics published their reports; you would find some newspaper, principally the tabloids such as the Sun and Daily Mail, publishing figures about the number of live births to immigrants. It was all scaremongering, a moral panic about black people, and an insistence on keeping Britain white. And people talked openly about the need to keep Britain white.
You have to situate the 1981 uprisings in that broader context, and if you don't, you fail to understand the structural relationship between the way black people experience living in the society, and the way they choose to resist.
And the resistance took many forms, it took political forms, it took cultural forms, through music, art, publishing or through soundsystems and travelling discos – people find ways of surviving, and not allowing their essential humanity to be debased, and expressing and affirming their creativity. Cultures of oppression inexorably spawn cultures of resistance.
Given all this background, how surprised were you when the riots broke out? A lot of the press coverage at the time, and now in reflection, talks about the riots being a 'spontaneous' event.
It wasn't a surprise to me nor many other people in Moss Side. It could have happened any time before that July. It could have happened in March that year, when a cache of illegal weapons were found stashed in Moss Side police station. Those weapons were found to be knives, hatchets, coshes, clubs, and a considerable quantity of cannabis was also found.
We were alarmed because we knew the police planted cannabis on unsuspecting citizens, and would then throw the book at them for drug possession. They also used to give cannabis to prostitutes to sell, and if they didn't comply they would be dragged in for prostituting themselves. Typically, when people got arrested and taken to Moss Side Police Station or Platt Lane Police Station, they were likely to get a good hiding from the police, to reveal the names of others or confess to some crime, or just for being 'lippy' and standing up for themselves, whether they did or did not commit a crime.
So it was alarming that this cache was found in the police station. What were the police going to do with them? No sooner did the reports come out than everything disappeared. That was on March 12-13 1981. Ten days earlier, six coach loads of people had left here for London, to go to the biggest march black people here have ever organised, the New Cross Massacre Black People's Day of Action, on 2 March 1981, following the murder of those 13 young people in that Deptford fire.
That massacre did not take place in Moss Side, but it could well have. That became a metaphor for the experiences that we were having at the hands of the racists and fascists across the country, and the way the police dealt with those things. So the events in July in Moss Side could have happened at any point that year.
Gus, what was the reaction among the press and political elites to the Moss Side riots? The MEN's recent coverage refers to it as 'an orgy of violence' and a 'spontaneous eruption of hatred'. Is there a sense in which there was, and still is, an attempt to depoliticise what happened?
Yes. And it is for that reason that I do not refer to those disturbances as riots, because that is to devalue and detract from the righteous political component of the whole thing. It was a violent eruption of protest, on the part of principally black people, but lots of white people as well, because they too had experienced for generations lots of vicious, disrespectful oppressive forms of policing.
The coverage in the media of Manchester, Toxteth, Brixton and St Paul's, was just totally racist. The tabloids have a lot to answer for. They were echoing what senior police officers were saying. They were always eager to claim that it was pure criminality – that it came from nowhere. As if these criminals suddenly drank something and decided to go and create mayhem.
I say about that, as I say about the gangs and knife crime now, I cannot believe, I refuse to believe that black people have some kind of congenital propensity to evil. If you don't believe that, you have to ask some searching questions about what predisposes people to do this, but that's too sophisticated for these hacks. They display their prejudices, and in a sense mirroring the bigotry of the people in leadership positions in the country generally.
How did you attempt to get your message out about what was happening when the mainstream press was like this?
There is an invention called the Gestetner. Do you remember it? No? That places us in different age bands! The Gestetner was a domestic printing machine. You typed onto a stencil, and attached it to the machine, turned a lever to make sure ink covered the drum, and then you start rolling off your hundreds of sheets of paper. Political activists of my age were friends of the Gestetner. You always knew which people were very active, because they were always covered in ink!
So, we had meetings, for the Moss Side Defence Committee, we produced masses of leaflets and handed them out door to door, outside cinemas, and indeed outside the magistrate's court. Picketing and handing them out. And we physically hand-delivered our statements to the news media. Some of them ignored it, some of them printed stuff. On a good day, the MEN wrote respectable articles, on other days, they had some very stupid headlines. There were some good journalists at the MEN though – Paul Horrocks was a good staff reporter, more reflective than the others who just wanted to print rubbish and get a story in the paper.
So that's what we did: loads of community meetings that were very well attended and we handed these leaflets around. And that was our political practice. We organised and campaigned around education issues, we had anti-deportation campaigns. The man in this community, Anthony Brown, who now is one of the organisers of the Manchester Carnival – he was facing deportation in the 1970s, and we launched a campaign and succeeded in having him stay here.
What kinds of people were getting involved in these protests?
Lets differentiate a bit. The anti-fascist demos drew just about everybody: old and young, black and white, as well as people from the Asian sub continent. There were large groups of women, large groups of young people, the core of whom were political activists who were running organisations or members of organisations, who came together to work in solidarity with us to work towards particular ends.
That was a regular pattern. When we established the Moss Side Defence Committee in 1981, we decided there would be a subcommittee called the 'Labour Movement and Trade Union Committee'. We tried to visit their meetings to get individual unions to pass resolutions and donate funds to the particular campaign.
For some causes, we had university students unions supporting – materially, and with cash. Some union offices allowed us to run off leaflets, some organised coaches to demonstrations. It became a loose coalition of progressive forces, including the Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers. Particularly in the aftermath of the disturbances, when the police were just dragging people indiscriminately off the streets, we, the Moss Side Defence Committee, met the Haldane Society, and got pretty horrific reports about the how the courts were getting the probations service to write quick reports on individuals – used by the judge before he passed sentence. This was being done in a sausage machine mode, and the people were not getting the personal treatment they needed. It was all aimed at demonstrating to the public that the situation was in hand, and in the firm grasp of the state. As a result of protests, they discontinued this practice.
As far as the disturbances themselves were concerned, there was clearly not a conscious political decision made that this would be a form of resistance that we were going to engage in on this particular night. In any event, people would not do that, because they would be too scared of a Guy Fawkes movement: someone squealing to the police. So it was spontaneous, but attracted people who felt that they had been hard done by for a long time, and that they would take on the police.
On reflection, how successful was Moss Side Defence Committee?
We were moderately successful. Many of the people who were arrested trusted us implicitly to go and assist them in putting their case together, and in getting legal representation. We introduced a way of working with defendants where we ensured that the defendant remained in charge of the case. We took statements from people, saying we don't care what you have told the police, you can make a statement here not under duress but it has to be truthful, and we will use that statement to organise your defence.
It sent a powerful message to the magistrates, and that was that we as a community are watching the decisions you make. We want to see evidence that you are taking as seriously the submissions of people from Moss Side as you are taking submissions from the police, and we will expose whatever endorsement you as a court give of police malpractices.
We organised ourselves and went to the court. Some of us went and sat in, some were outside giving out leaflets, and that worked pretty well. The only other thing I would say is this. We worked with individuals that had been arrested, and I believe the whole programme would have accelerated quicker if we had worked with other organisations to build a wider body of mass support. There ought to have been many more people on demonstrations outside the court.
It was a politically volatile period, but politically rich in a whole number of ways. I really had hoped that given the careful work we had put into challenging the Hytner Enquiry, boycotting the enquiry and writing a critique of his findings, having all these meetings around the place, picketing the courts every time somebody was on trial, I was rather hoping we might have built a mass movement around all of that, in pursuit of justice and against police brutality and harassment.
But I think people were happy to come together from their organisations as an alliance, which was effectively what the Moss Side Defence Committee was, rather than seeing themselves as integrally part of one collective group, seeking to build a movement of working class people around these issues. And I suppose people got tired: it had been an exhausting few months.
It has always been a regret to me that I personally and others didn't return to our critique of the Hytner Enquiry and look at it more analytically, making the links to all that stuff I have been sharing with you, to make a more complete story that others today could look at. Young people particularly, should not be encouraged to see the so-called riots in isolation from everything else.
What changed after the disturbances?
Many, if not most young people developed – however temporarily – developed a greater sense of their own power. Many had the feeling that even if the state didn't sit up and take account of the message they were giving on the street through these disturbances, they had made their presence felt. Not least to James Anderton and his Greater Manchester Police.
The fact that William Whitelaw, Heseltine and Thatcher introduced a range of projects around the place trying to consolidate the black voluntary sector and links with business, with the support of the banks, they gave start up grants for small entrepreneurs.
And then there was a large amount of refurbishment … and the regeneration of the centre radiated outwards towards Hulme and Moss Side, but while there has been a lot of physical regeneration, not as much has been spent on rehabilitating people.
And the demography of the community has changed: large numbers of Somalis coming in, Lebanese as well, even before the Polish started to arrive. There has been a process of constant adaptation to that.
I get a sense though that there is much less community cohesion now than there used to be. I just don't get a feeling that communities are working together, with a sense of common purpose and a vision of the future. It is not that people are defeated as such – though Thatcherism had a toll on us all God knows – it's that the climate is not necessarily conducive to civil action or protest, or change coming about through people becoming adamant that the status quo must change.
Maybe people don't have a sense of their own strength?
Exactly. I tell that to young people all the time, I say, "You have got the capacity to be as organised as the teaching unions are, and within your schools you have got to sit down talk about issues, and find ways to hold the school to account. You don't have to do it in a belligerent or antagonistic way, but simply to assert your right to comment on and influence the way the community of which you are a part functions."
Headteachers run a mile when they hear that kind of thing. But I do feel that if all those young black people who are knifing and shooting one another on the streets had had their energies directed into serious political activism, where they consciously attempting to get their voices heard and influence policies on whatever issue it is, there would be such a sense of empowerment of the capacity to get things done and of achievements to be celebrated, people would have neither the time or the stomach for the kind of violence within our communities.
What can reflections on the disturbances tell us in the present? For people who are looking at problems of racism and police violence
Let me preface my answer by saying, I believe the greatest disservice the state does to its population is through the crappy schooling system we have. When you consider that there is such an emphasis on high level exam results, as if that's the only mark of schools' effectiveness, the debate about schooling is always about providing labour for the market, Britain's economic competitiveness, and the extent to which schools and universities are churning people out.
It has nothing to do with giving people the tools to take control of their own lives, equipping people to act collectively to bring about change, and it is certainly nothing to do with understanding the evolution of British social history, such that we can as a society learn from our advances and defeats. That kind of discourse is seen as a throwback to the days of 'red-led' protests of the past for lefties. The assumption is that it is not necessary to think in terms of class or the individual up against the state, and that we should be counting our blessings. Meanwhile, stratification within society becomes more entrenched. Those who are poor are not just disenfranchised by lacking wages through which they can live dignified lives; they are also denied the tools by which they can organise in defence of their lives.
People fall prey to an opaque sameness, an assumed consensus in terms of the values we commonly share. Which allows clowns like Cameron to talk about the 'Big Society'.
It is very important that we understand what led to 1981, and what gives rise to the peaks and troughs as far as the emergence of neo-fascist organisations are concerned. I would not be surprised if in the coming period as European economies begin falling in on themselves you have another upsurge of pan-European fascism.
We need to see ourselves as being in a continuity of struggle, and the struggle is never won until we are living in the kind of social democracies that do not place on a pedestal the market, with all the neo-liberal values that come with it; the rampant individualism, the greed, the abandonment of hope, the abandonment of idealism, the sense that the state has no role in regulating forces within society so those who want to prey on the weak in society have full vent to do that.
It has been taken to extreme lengths in terms of the way schooling is going now: the privatisation of everything that moves. Academies, trusts, and Michael Gove's assertion that you can open schools all over the place, with no concern about cohesion, no concern about social inclusion.
And in due course all of that must implode upon itself, because it is not just in dictatorships that you find people being oppressed, it happens within so-called democracies as well, and we ignore that at our peril.
I'd like to think in reflecting on 30 years ago we can reflect on what happened since: why did the labour movement that had all these giants, why did it all suddenly get eclipsed? What happened to trade union basic education projects and the workers education movement? What are young people in Moss Side today grounding their sense of identity and purpose? What connection do they have with these lessons of the past? How are they being primed and equipped to make their mark in this present age as each generation has a duty to do?
If anyone tells me that those who are educated will find a way to do that because they have the social capital to do that, I would say that is complete nonsense. Mark Twain said, "I never let my schooling interfere with my education". The fact is, schooling is dumbing down people's sense of history, if not their aspirations as human beings working together to shape a future. I believe the country lost a trick when there was a concentration on building a citizenship curriculum, without concentrating on the need to teach British social history: we need to understand the society, how we have come to be as we are, that rich tradition of fighting for rights. Expanding rights in the society, and with that the responsibilities people have in the present, to build a better future for those coming after them.
I don't get a sense right now, that there is that level of awareness or political literacy.
I don't know why people don't ask the question more regularly, if the centralist tendency within the government is leading to the collapse of local government in safeguarding the rights of citizens, then if what matters to me is how my life in Manchester is regulated by those at the Town Hall, then why should I be concerned about what happens in Whitehall? And yet people in Whitehall feel they have the right to cut off local government and leave people to all kinds of forces without understanding that not everyone has the capacity to engage with the market in that way.
I find it a not very hopeful scenario, and that is why I spend a lot of time trying to connect people with that long sweep of historical struggle, and giving them some tools of analysis so they can better understand what is going on around them.

The Truth About Misinformation-I Am Perpetually StunnedTuesday, February 19th, 2013
Some people tell stories when they write. Some tell facts or talk of important journalistic issues. I have a tendency merely to put into words what sloshes around in my brain. The funny thing about this is that I am not really a "literary person". I don't read cathartic current novels, I was in a book club for 5 years and finally quit because no one ever liked my idea of reading Stephen King and honestly, for me, books and movies are really only a source of leisure, diversion or entertainment. I really do think life provides me with enough challenges to want to spend money or my free time watching or reading about others'.

Hamilton Co. wins food safety award
Crumbine Award awarded to local health departments around the world
Hamilton County's food protection program has received a coveted award in environmental health.
The Crumbine Award, sponsored by the Conference for Food Protection, is an international award presented each year to local environmental health departments that demonstrate excellence and improvement in a comprehensive food protection program.
Hamilton County received this same award 50 years ago, something Hamilton County Health Commissioner Tim Ingram says makes this especially exciting.
He described many of the programs and achievements of Hamilton County in the health sector, such as the Clean Kitchen Award and their providing of inspection reports on their website.
With all the program has accomplished, something in particular gives Ingram a great sense of pride.
"We're particularly proud that we've been able to continually advance our food program while holding the line on costs," Ingram said. "We are one of the lowest-cost food licensing agencies in Ohio, which provides significant benefits to our partners while most importantly, maintaining no increase in food-borne illness to the consuming public in our jurisdictions."

Easy Does It
This shop specializing in small-scale parts says successfully machining
tiny features into tiny workpieces is less about technology and more
about technique.
Featured Content
Really sharp cutting tools.
According to Mark Rohlfs of East Coast Precision Manufacturing in Killingworth, Connecticut, these are some of the things it takes to machine features smaller than the eye can clearly see into tiny and delicate parts.
Special equipment or technology is not what it takes, he says. His shop specializes in producing minuscule plastic parts for various customers and end uses. The shop routinely uses drills and end mills as small as 0.020 inch, and often uses 0.008-inch tools. However, the work is performed on standard machining centers using standard vises. The tiny cutting tools are held in toolholders that Mr. Rohlfs admits "are not even all that high quality." In short, standard equipment can do the job if that equipment is used with care.
To provide a further sense of the equipment that is not required, this shop even lacks noncontact tool measurement. Some shops machining at such small scales consider this noncontact measurement to be essential, because the tools bend and break with little pressure. At East Coast Precision, however, tool offsets for all tools (even the 0.008-inch ones) are established by physically "touching off" at the machining center—that is, gently feeding into a solid surface and using a piece of paper as a feeler gage.
According to Mr. Rohlfs, such small cutting tools can be put to use with some of the same machines and same methods as larger tools, just as long as the small tools are not handled as roughly as most cutting tools are routinely handled. Delicate handling is the most important difference.
The same goes for the parts. They can also be damaged with slight force, so deliberate and gentle manipulation is a hallmark of this shop. No sudden moves, no forcing and no impacts—these are the objectives that shape how the employees of this shop do their work.
The result is a set of routine procedures in this shop that—though they are mainly common sense—nevertheless might seem strange to a more conventional shop that is used to taking full-size cuts into full-size metal parts.
Stay SharpIn fact, East Coast Precision sometimes competes with shops accustomed to conventional-scale machining of metal. The shop can succeed at producing parts that cause these other shops difficulty, even when the other shops have access to comparable equipment. Mr. Rohlfs says shops accustomed to cutting metal tend to look at plastic and think, "How challenging can it be?" He says that holding precise tolerances at tiny scales in soft, springy and/or gummy materials can be challenging indeed.
One of the keys to success is sharp cutting tools, he says. If the tools are not sharp, not only will cutting force and deflection increase, but so will the size of the burr. Burrs represent a constant, chronic challenge of machining small-scale plastic parts. If manual deburring is required—often unavoidable—then this can be more time-consuming than the machining cycle. However, in many cases the combination of sharp cutting tools and strategic tool paths can make it possible to eliminate any burr within the machining cycle. Even though the workpieces are plastic, the shop changes cutting tools frequently to keep them as sharp as possible.
Another key to precise and effective machining is unusual tool geometries. Apart from the CNC machine tools, one of the most important pieces of equipment at East Coast Precision is a benchtop manual cutter grinder. Using this, the shop can quickly produce a tool with some unusual set of cutting geometries to cut a particular feature more effectively. When standard tool geometries do not work, Mr. Rohlfs experiments with unusual geometries to find one that does. About half of the jobs the shop ends up running use at least one special tool.
One other consideration in machining tiny plastic parts effectively is to pay attention to the order of operations. The stiffness of the part is already slight, so cuts that further weaken the workpiece or make it less rigid should come late in the process. This is the same kind of thinking that is applied to other light and flexible parts at much larger scales. Aluminum aircraft components, for example, are also machined with an order of operations aimed at keeping the part as stiff as possible in the areas that still have to be machined.
This similarity in thinking illustrates something important about the small-scale machining, says Mr. Rohlfs.
As long as the tool is sufficiently sharp, the cut can be trusted to behave similar to machining passes at larger sizes. In other words, what happens at tiny scales is not mysterious. The main difference is simply that this smaller machining cannot be seen. East Coast Precision's personnel rely on 10X magnification eyepieces just to look at finished parts. That is why, to determine the right custom tool geometry and the right order of operations, Mr. Rohlfs generally has to imagine how each machining pass is likely to behave. But when he imagines something like the way a steeper clearance angle on a particular tool is likely to work, he can trust that the pass will behave the same way that he would see it behave if the scale of his work was increased by, say, 10, 20 or 50 times.
Still, squinting through eyepieces is not the only unusual procedure here. Because the scale of the parts and tooling is smaller, the care taken by the shop's personnel has to be that much greater. This shop routinely adheres to procedures that might seem fussy to other shops, but these procedures have proven essential for preserving the value of both the customers' parts and the shop's tiny tooling.
Small ConsiderationsRoutine procedures in this shop include all of the following:
- Cutting tools. Tools are always carried by hand instead of being placed in a cart. Tools are also kept isolated from one another, so the edges of different tools do not make direct contact. These procedures help safeguard against the tool getting a chip too small to see, but nevertheless big enough to dull the tool and scrap a run of parts.
- Workholding. Parts are held in soft jaws that are also machined out of plastic. A torque handle on the vise ensures that the vise is not overtightened.
- Machine tools. The shop's Fanuc Robodrill machining centers are precise machines, but their positioning changes during the day. The positioning does not change by much, but it changes enough to matter when machining at tiny scales. An essential part of small-scale machining is simply to know each machine tool well enough to know how its offsets need to be updated as the machine gradually warms up during the morning. The same discipline applies to the shop's CNC turning center as well.
- Inspection. A toolmaker's microscope with 30X magnification is an important measurement and inspection tool here, but plenty of small-scale work is inspected using hand-held gages. Usually a shop considers the gage to be more sensitive than the part, but the opposite is true here. A micrometer has to be tightened slowly so that excess momentum in the barrel does not cause the gage to "clamp" the part. Something similar applies to gage pins used to measure holes. Even a slight push is too much force to slide a gage pin into a hole. Either the pin goes in without resistance or else the hole is too small.
- Cleaning. Parts cleaning often involves a clamshell strainer and a very
light stream of water. The shop takes great care to let the water
perform the cleaning without assistance, because physically stirring
the parts is likely to cause damage.
Seeing Green
The need to take care and stay focused is even reflected in the color scheme. Uncharacteristic of a machine shop, the walls of this shop are painted green.
was a conscious choice, says Mr. Rohlfs. He put some thought into it,
saying, "I thought green would be the most calming color."

Waiting for SkyEdit
In Ventilus...
Josh: (leaning on a pillar)
Eternal: *humming to "If it all ended tommorow" then sees josh* Ohai Josh. I saw someone else around here. someone with POWER. and LOTS OF IT.
Josh: Hai there Eternal. Yeah, I saw someone else here too. A false demigod, I would say. And there he comes.
Eternal: *sits there waiting for him*
Josh: Oh, he's so zetta slow. (sits on a rock)
Sky: -walks past them,whistling- oh hey josh...hey eternal...-walks away-
Eternal: Where you goin?
Sky: me? well im looking for someone.....see ya -walks away-
Eternal: *pulls him by the shoulder* Who might that be?
Sky: *removes his hand from his shoulder* if you must know...im looking for my farther ....
Eternal: You don't wanna fight me or josh?
Sky: why were all firends right? so why do u wanna fight...u know wat why not i could use some training
Eternal: What do you say Josh? Triple threat?
Josh: Yeah!
Cervantes: well then.... let's see if watching this will do anything about my boredom
Sky: well josh how about it.....
Josh: Battle Start! (teleports them in his arena)
Battle Start!Edit
All: (teleported in the arena)
Josh: Okay, now we're here, FIGHT! (goes to his battle stance)
Sky: whoa this arena looks cool
Josh: This arena is mine, you're in Ventilus, so yeah. (levitates)
Eternal: *sitting there, meditating*
Josh: Eternal, you may stop that. It's time for the battle.
Sky: come on already eternal.
Eternal: OK. Let's star- *mystical transformation*
Eternity: *girl eternal* *facepalms* Damn it, not again.. Now i gotta fight as a GIRL?!
Josh: Is that automatic?!
Eternity: It does it when it feels like it! Gah!
Josh: Oh. Well, let's start.
Sky: *faceplams* i cant, a girl ....my weakness is fighting a girl
Eternity: Deal with it.
Josh: Why? I fight Alice, while you're not fighting a girl?
Sky: its just i get distracted when I fight a girl.....even if its eternal
Josh: Oh. (Thought: Hmph, advantage would be an option when I have Eternity with me!)
Sky: *sighs* anyway lets do this... the last one standing wins
Eternity: *turns back into Eternal*
Eternal: Yes! *gets in fighting stance*
Josh: Okay, FIGHT! (teleports behind Sky & attempts to backflip-kicks him)
Sky: -gets up- alright u ask 4 it -disappears and sweep kick josh then throws him-
Josh: Whoa! (lands on both feet) I'll show you. (uses Rider Kick on Sky, thus blowing him on the lights of the arena, electrocuting him)
Sky: *spines spike up* whoa good one -fixes his spines- ok my turn -speed barrage kicks josh-
Josh: (smirks) Hah. (reads Sky's speed & blocks the hits, one by one)
Sky: heh you gotten better....
Josh: (Thought: Hah, you've gotten worse for a demigod.) Even you're a demigod, I won't lose! I'm also a demigod, the Wind Ancient's descendant! (tries to suck Sky in his huge tornado)
Sky: heh is that all -spins his sword fast thus making the tornado fade away- and surpose to be a ancient inddescendant of w-sword disappears- your wind power are to are impressing but ur gonna have to hit me if u hope to beat me
Josh: Oh really? I'm just warming up.
Eternal: *studying their movse as they fast* Pfft... >Is it me, or is sky weaker then Josh?< *studying their every move that they're doing to know how to dodge and counter attack*
Josh: Okay. It's time for the real battle!
Sky: oh yea bring it josh
Josh: Alright! (charges at Sky)
Sky: heh -runs at Josh-
Josh: Don't get too cocky, 'cause I'll beat you! (charges Rider Kick)
1 2 3
Josh: Rider.....KICK!
Josh: (tachyon energy runs through his feet)
Sky:rider kick huh *grudes himself and takes the impact*......
Josh: Just watch, I didn't use this attack yet. And shut up, 'cause I'll cut your mouth, you pathetic insulter. And the last thing I hate about you, is that you're too cocky & insultive! (aims the Rider Kick at Sky)
Sky: see ya *disappers and reappers behind josh* hah theres an opening *puts josh into a master lock*
Josh: Hmph. (teleports & reappears behind Sky) Let's see if you can endure this! (attempts a Rider Combo, AKA "Rider Kick & Rider Punch" at Sky) You're auto-hitting.
Sky: make me *gets in his stance* bring it
Josh: Yeah, eat this! (Rider Kicks Sky on the face & Rider Punches him on the gut)
Cervantes: It's starting to bore me how much all suck
Josh: (sighs) Oh c'mon, Sky, what time will you attack me?
Sky: you wanna attack, you *gets in stance* heh
Josh: Aha ha ha, really? I got bored of your pathetic beam. (drinks Haste Potion) You can't outmatch me easily when I drink this! (runs at hyper speed via Haste Potion & rushes towards Sky, goes behind him, & pushes him, thus making the Super Kamehameha Wave to fire above) Get a taste of your own attack! (creates a clone above & the clone uses Repel Armor to deflect the beam at Sky) Ooh yeah.
Sky: whoa ok i will say that was pretty skilled of you josh
Josh: Thanks. (summons helicopters) Have fun destroying 'em. (stealthily leans on a wall)
The helicopters shoot their machine guns at Sky.Sky: heh is that all *runs away from being shot* come on josh how about some missile
Josh: (still invisible)
The helicopters shoot missiles at Sky.
Sky: alright go time *jumps on top of the missile and let to others follow him* catch me if you can
Josh: (still invisible) Alright, will do, dude.
The helicopters shoot homing missiles at Sky.Sky: heh how do ya like me
Josh: I'm just warming up, dude.
An invisible plane shoots omni-missiles at Sky without him knowing...
Sky: *gets blasted away and dizzy* oh man...did anyone get the number of that truck that hit me
Eternal: *still watching them, still not taking place in the fight, not letting him burn any energy*
Josh: (still invisible) Ah, Eternal. You're not helping me? We'll see about that.
1 2 3
Josh: Rider... Kick.
Josh: (attempts a Rider Kick at Eternal, without him knowing)
Eternal: *feels Tachyon energy and notices he's in the area* >WTH bro, I thought we were gonna team up on Sky..<
Sky: first rule in triple treat there's is no team up
Josh: S***, how did he know?! Fool, I'm just joking at Sky. Bring it!
Sky: *fighting stance* who's first josh or eternal
Josh: (instead attempts the Rider Kick at Sky, without him knowing)
Sky: *ears twitches* so he think he can hit me twice with the same move ,,,well he's mistaken *charges at josh when he hears location*
Josh: (still invisible) You don't have an idea who you're dealing with. (follows a Rider Punch, making it a Rider Combo)
Sky: true I may not be able to see you but I can hear you.....*prepares for josh's attack*
Josh: (stares at Sky, making him dizzy) Don't say I didn't warn you. (goes fast & makes him dizzy) Bye bye. (attempts a Rider Combo at Sky)
Eternal: *notices the bracelet is glowing* Really. Again.AGAIN?! *turns back into Eternity*
Eternity: Well. Time to fight, Anyway. *flies past Josh and continuously punches and kicks Sky, or at least tries to*Josh: My advantage. Aha ha ha! This is gonna be good. (attempts the Rider Combo at Sky)
Sky: *manages to dodged josh's combo* ok now eternal *notice that he's a girl* uh.... *throws grudge*
Josh: Not done yet. (accidentally slips down & hits the Rider Kick at Sky)
Sky: ok owwww that hurt *gets up* why did entrnal had to turn into a girl
