Say cheese? New whey-based thermoformable barrier coating under development
Published: July 31st, 2014
As far as growth is concerned, the packaging industry has nothing to worry about. Sustainability, however, is another story. And while the need for greener packaging represents a significant market opportunity, solutions that deliver the requisite performance at a competitive price are still thin on the ground.
A dominant technology in the packaging market is thermoforming, yet although, for example, bio-based trays have been around for a number of years, in general, they fail to meet the barrier properties required for sensitive food products.
Researchers who discovered bacteria-resistant polymers receive award to find out why they work
Published: July 31st, 2014
In 2012, two researchers at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom discovered a group of new materials capable of repelling bacteria. Precisely why bacteria steer clear of this material, however, is not known. Now, the scientists have each won a prestigious research award worth a combined £2 million ($3.4 million) to solve the mystery. There is a lot at stake: bacteria-resistant polymers could lead to a significant reduction in hospital infections acquired through implanted medical devices.

The nation's capital bans PS foam containers
Published: July 30th, 2014
Washington D.C. believes it has a big problem. This time around it's not about crime or corrupt politicians, but rather polystyrene foam containers.
Starting in January 2016, food and beverages that are packaged in PS foam will no longer be permitted for carryout use. A ban on many other disposable foodservice products that are not "compostable or recyclable" will start in 2017.
Reshoring: It's not a myth (but it needs your help)
Published: July 30th, 2014
American companies have outsourced its manufacturing work for decades to low-cost countries like China, Vietnam and India to take advantage of cheap labor rates. This has taken a toll on the American manufacturing sector - the Bureau of Statistics indicates that nearly six million manufacturing jobs were lost between 1999 and 2009 (over one-third of the country's manufacturing workforce).
This kind of damage is hard to reclaim, but fortunately, this trend is starting to reverse itself.

dogswhen i walk tasha in the morning we always run into little babies in strollers who often want to pet the doggie.tasha is friendly and affectionate, and we always stop.but I always tell the baby, hey, tasha is a friendly dog, and it is o.k. to pet her, but not all dogs are friendly like her, so be careful.once we were on our walk, and a german shephard that would always bark at tasha got loose.he came running across the street, right towards tasha, without making a sound, and we stood there, tasha's tail wagging.the german shephard proceeded to go straight to tasha's throat and viciously attacked her. It was so sudden and shocking. I started yelling "whose dog is this, whose dog is this" and I waited a few seconds for the snarling to stop, but it escalated. The shephard moved to her hind quarters, and I instinctively realized that he was trying to cripple her and get her on the ground so he could really savage her.so I just started hitting the shephard on the head, not hard at fir
Hanging out with Weird AlI went to see my old bandmate Weird Al last night at the Pacific Amphitheater. We have been exchangng e-mails lately talking about MLP:FiM. I used to play in Weird Al's band, and have toured and recorded with him. We are good friends. All the guys in the band too. My homies. Especially Kimo and Bermuda.Gee, wouldn't Al be a good guest star for MLP:Fim? Wow, seems like such a natural fit, don't you agree?My daughter was supposed to record me chatting with him after the show but forgot to hit record...Well, until we started talking about MLP. I just posted that on my You Tube page...I miss playing live.Man those guys are GOOD and TIGHT and play like monsters. And Al sang and performed his butt off. And the show is REALLY REALLY good.
Turning it off.I just shut everything down in my studio.Flying to Seattle for the Everfree NW thingy today. I am nervous. I am not like Tara and Daniel, masters of charm and public grace.It is always so...unsettling to turn everything off and leave my cave.I am a troglodyte, and sometimes I work so long and hard that I don't want to leave my studio. It's safe in here. It's my sanctuary. Leaving it exposes me to, uh.Oh. Well. Let's. Go. Do. This.Gonna go watch the sun come up.
CharismaI just read this and I think it is so true:Here are the 10 habits of remarkably charismatic people:1. They listen way more than they talk.Ask questions. Maintain eye contact. Smile. Frown. Nod. Respond--not so much verbally, but nonverbally.That's all it takes to show the other person they're important.Then when you do speak, don't offer advice unless you're asked. Listening shows you care a lot more than offering advice, because when you offer advice in most cases you make the conversation about you, not them.Don't believe me? Who is "Here's what I would do..." about: you or the other person?Only speak when you have something important to say--and always define important as what matters to the other person, not to you.2. They don't practice selective hearing.Some people--I guarantee you know people like this--are incapable of hearing anything said by the people they feel are somehow beneath them.Sure, you speak to them, but that particular falling tree doesn't make a sound i
sessionSunday I have a great session lined up - I am recording a simple, charming waltz for a new show...I haveMike Thompson on piano (from the Eagles, Don Henley)Weird Al on AccordionBermuda Schwartz on drumsLarry Antonino on stand Up bass (air supply, pablo cruise, etc.)Tom Evans on woodwinds (tonight show band, glen frey, etc, etc.I am going to track everyone live in my living room.Should be a lot of fun.Can't believe these serious A-list would do this for me for so little money.It's because we're friends.My friends are awesome to do this for me! Mike flies in from a show Sunday and then is just coming over. I am one happy dude.Time for more coffee.13 minutes of quiet time left.
crispyooof.gotta get it right no matter what.it's a personal thing.i need to get through it, look at it and know that I feel it is right.no getting lazy.no letting things slide.it's about "I am good with this."crisped.
HomiesFeeling good.Good to be writing, playing, seeing Al & my old band mates. Looking forward to attending Everfree NW this weekend.If anyone is going say hi!Just finishing writing the theme for the new PacMan animated series for Disney XD.It is the antithesis of MLP. Can you say Progressive House with glitch elements and lo-fi 8 bit sounds?Fun!
seagullsI was sitting on the beach with Eleanor and we were staring at two seagulls a few feet away from us. They were staring at us, hoping for some of the potato chips we were eating."Stupid scavengers," Eleanor said.I watched the birds, saying nothing for a minute. But then I said:"They're noble birds of the sea, not stupid scavengers. Look at how beautifully they are colored, the same as the sand and the clouds in the sky. And look at how their beaks are made to stick deep into the sand to burrow for crabs. And look how elegantly they hold their position against the wind, and how they can fly for great distances across the open sea."We stared at the birds."They are beautiful, dad.""I know, Eleanor. It's a little sad.""Why, Dad?""Well, Eleanor, it is because of humans that they are distracted from their noble, original purpose. And what of our original purpose? Are we so much different? Look at us, chasing after cars, money, power, fashion, position. How much different ar

Changing the world through musicSomeone recently brought up an interesting point as they left a comment on one of my YouTube videos. They argued that my talent wasn't very rare, and that everything I've done has already sorta been done before--that I'm not really pushing any boundaries or doing anything new. Tone is often lost or misconstrued over the internet, but it seemed to me that the person leaving the comment was insinuating that I was somehow "less" of an artist, or not quite deserving of praise, simply because I wasn't pushing some sort of boundary with the music I made.I have a pretty thick skin, but I'll admit that negative comments bother me. They bother every artist. We do what we do to make others happy, and if we fail in that endeavor, it makes us feel bad. Any artist who denies that is either lying, or not in it for the right reasons (in my opinion). That being said, the guy's comment on my YouTube video... kinda bothered me.
New AnimationWell my fine fellow bronies, I am pleased to announce a Rarity animated Meme is underway.Completely unrelated to the "Horrendous 'licious' trend."Needless to say, I am REALLY excited to get this out to you guys. I will be animating every spare second I have. I'll try to have it done before next Monday.Stay awesome Bronies! Love y'all! ~BlackGryph0n
CAERDWYN IS AMAZING!!:iconcaerdwyn:THIS GUY!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgZe_57u9m0DID THIS!!Altruism:Probably the rarest and most noble of all human traits.A characteristic rarely seen in every day encounters, and yet a trait that so many in this amazing community seem to exibit naturally.One such individual is Caerdwyn.A Silicon Valley Engineer, roommate of the infamous DustyKatt, and the son of a decorated Navy Pilot; Caerdwyn has given of his time, money, and resources to so many in our community without ever asking for anything in return.He is the true element of generosity, the embodiment of his father's heroism, and the man I would nominate to be the Ambassador of this great fandom were we ever to elect one!Caerdwyn,You have done so much for me and for so many others...I don't know how to repay you, but rest assured I will think of something!Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!~BlackGryph0n (Gabe)
Prepare to be Trolled...Thanks to the help of some very special people (who shall remain unnamed for the time being), I am pleased to say that a new "Licious" animation is on it's way!But be forewarned...

My Massively Stolen Art (update 9.26)Going to add to this now... I've gotten a LOT of great advice, and it seems my next move will be to send a cease and desist letter to any and all websites I can find selling my work.As for getting a lawyer, my brother in law is actually a lawyer, and while we've talked to him about this and he's offered to help, he's very busy right now and won't be able to get around to doing anything until later.Also, it seems the site I'd originally linked as one example of where the tattoo sleeve was being sold had already taken it down. That's great! Now there's just...hah, I don't know how many more to go. :}Many of you have offered excellent advice and left some very long and helpful comments. I do want to reply to those individually, but while I work my way down that list, I just wanted to add a blanket THANK YOU to everyone who's taken time out of their day to help. Y'all are amazing!--------------------Okay guys, here's the deal... you know my
The Audition... (Also, I'm in the states!)Hey guys!So here's the low down:The audition went well...Really well...So well in fact that even though they haven't come out with the results yet, they told me... Well, I'm not aloud to say until they do come out with the results... Assuming I did make it though, as soon as the E-6 hiring freeze lifts I will be moving out to Anapolise Maryland and will be promoted two ranks!I will also be stationed with my brother Nathanael (BAASIK) who is a 2nd Class at the Naval Academy.

ABOUT PONY HEARTSOkay if there's one piece of work that I've ever made in my entire life of drawing that I regret more than anything, it would be those fucking pony hearts.Literally every single day (since the day I made them) I get 1-10 notes or comments about someone stealing, tracing, recolouring, selling my work here or somewhere else. So naturally, I fucking hate those things. I probably would've done them a lot more if I didn't have to deal with art theft twenty times a day.To those of you who have been informing me of these thefts from time to time, I really appreciate it as always. Without people like you I wouldn't even be able to track down, or even KNOW about the people stealing them. So really, you have my deepest thanks and gratitude.NOW to get things straight. I'm tired of going through these art theft pictures and reading comments about how, "He gave me permission to make it a base" or "He doesn't care". WRONG, I do care and will report you without hesitation if I see it.To make this
the cliffWe walked north on the beach until we could go no further.The north end of the beach in front of the hotel ends with an outcropping of rocks that protrude into the ocean for a hundred yards. Two hundred yards? I don't know. My senses seem to have dwindled over the years or are lost entirely at times.We climbed up the highest rock and sat, talking about the time we braved the waves and rocks closer to the shore to get to another private beach farther north. This time there was a sign saying not to attempt such a crossing.Looking down from our perch it occurred to me that we could just jump off the cliff into the sea and swim to the private beach. Probably would be easier.Eleanor knew I was thinking about it. She pointed out a big rock just below the surface. Hmm. Not there. A little farther out. The cliff is a little lower. Hmm. Water looks dark and deep. Look, we could dive straight out, not down, we don't want to hit any rocks. Then we go around that bed of kelp and straight to th

UMC 101: The Apportionment System
The total amounts of funds needed to support worldwide ministries of the United Meth-odist Church are established by General Conference. These totals are apportioned to annual conferences based on a formula that includes: 1) net expenditures of local churches, including capital expenditures, interest payments, and benevolence giving; 2) per-capita income for counties in the annual conference and local church operating costs; and 3) a base percentage set by General Conference. On average, 70 percent of the local churches pay 100 percent of their general church apportionments and 3 percent do not pay any at all. The remaining 27 percent pay something less than 100 percent.
Each annual conference establishes its own formula to assess local churches for general church apportionments and annual conference, episcopal area and jurisdictional costs.
Of every dollar, 84.3 cents is used in local churches, 12.4 cents supports regional ministries and 3.3 cents supports general church ministries. For more information, see the web site of the General Council on Finance and Administration.
--The Rev. J. Richard Peck is a retired clergy member of the New York Annual Conference, three-time editor of the Daily Christian Advocate of General Conference and editor of the 2000 Book of Resolutions.

Leland University
Having wanted to establish an institution of higher learning for Louisiana's Black population, Brooklyn resident Holbrook Chamberlain incorporated Leland University in 1870. A hurricane destroyed the original buildings in 1915, and consequently moved the school to Baker, Louisiana. Leland University served Black students from first grade through university level, before closing in 1960.

Sharp Canada joins arms with Earth Day Canada to help battle environmental crisis!
Environmental crisis remains persistent. Our daily actions pollute and degrade the fragile environment that humans and wildlife depend on to survive. Sharp Electronics of Canada Ltd. has joined arms with Earth Day Canada (EDC) to do their part in helping to improve the current conditions of the environment.
Earth Day Canada (EDC) is a national environmental communications organization mandated to improve the state of the environment by empowering Canadians to achieve local solutions. Since 1991, EDC has been coordinating Earth Day/Earth Month events, and creating successful community programs and award-winning artistic and media projects. For more information, please visit www.earthday.ca
EcoMentors is an innovative and dynamic program which matches high school students with elementary school classes or environmental clubs to assist in teaching environmental education. By working together, both groups of students can turn their ideas into action by participating in relevant environmental activities in their community and explore and express their ideas and viewpoints with regard to human-environmental interactions.
By participating in ecoMentors, everybody wins. High school students gain valuable work experience, explore their career interests and fulfill their co-op course requirements; elementary students benefit from having an energetic, enthusiastic mentor to provide guidance, input and assistance in their exploration of environmental topics; teachers appreciate the assistance with their busy teaching schedule.
Sharp Canada is proud to be a sponsor of the EcoMentors program coordinated through Earth Day Canada. This program equips young Canadians with the knowledge and skills necessary to do their part in working towards a Sustainable Environment. For more information, visit www.earthday.ca
Sharp Canada and our employees have engaged in a partnership with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to assist in their conservation efforts. This three year initiative provides us with the opportunity to reforest a significant part of the Etobicoke Creek watershed, building upon a bi-annual ecological effort while providing hands on environmental support within our local community.
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TCRA) works with partners to ensure the Toronto urban region is built on a natural foundation of healthy rivers and shorelines, greenspace and biodiversity, and sustainable communities. For more information, visit http://www.trca.on.ca/

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
- 2 Granny Smith apples, quartered
- 1 onion, quartered and divided
- 8 fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 fresh sage sprigs

Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Inject 1 1/2 cups Apple-Bourbon Marinade into turkey breast, thighs, and drumsticks.
- Bake at 425° for 20 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 350°, and bake 4 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion of thigh registers 180°, shielding with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning, if necessary. Remove turkey from pan, reserving 1/2 cup drippings. Let turkey cool 30 minutes. Remove onion, apple, and rosemary from cavity, and discard.
- Bring reserved turkey neck, 2 cups water, and remaining Apple-Bourbon Marinade and onion half to a boil in a saucepan; boil 15 minutes. Pour through a wire-mesh strainer into a measuring cup, discarding solids.

Cook, whisking constantly, 10 minutes or until thickened. Stir in remaining 1/2 tsp. pepper. Serve warm with turkey.
- Note: Turkey may be basted with Apple-Bourbon Marinade every 30 minutes during baking instead of injecting with marinade.

Claustrophobia is the irrational fear of confined spaces: of being closed in small spaces or rooms with no escape. It frequently results in a panic attack and can be triggered by differing environments and situations such as lifts, small rooms (particularly if windowless and with no apparent means of exit or escape), the Tube, tunnels or being in an aircraft. Crowded spaces can often heighten anxiety levels as does tight clothing.
Claustrophobia can be a difficult condition to live with and sufferers will often develop involved 'avoidance rituals.' They will go to any lengths to avoid places like the Underground, subways, small rooms or basements, and will prefer to take the stairs rather than use lifts regardless of how many floors are involved. Claustrophobia is a specific phobia that responds well to hypnotherapy.
Phobias - A handbook of Theory, Research and Treatment claims that between 15% and 37% of the worldwide population suffer from claustrophobia, and even though many experience severe symptoms only a small percentage receive any form of treatment. Hypnotherapy could be the answer.
The National Health service says "It affects about 10% of the UK population."
Panic attacks are common - symptoms can range from dry mouth, butterflies in the stomach and sweating, to rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, nausea, dizziness and feeling faint, confusion and disorientation.
Sometimes the actual fear of confined spaces is superseded by the fear of losing control and having a panic attack.
Hypnotherapy and NLP techniques are both highly effective for dealing with claustrophobia and anxiety. Usually only a few sessions are necessary.
Other common phobias that respond well to hypnosis and hypnotherapy are: fear of spiders; fear of heights; fear of flying; fear of dogs, and other animals; fear of bees or wasps; fear of blood. Not surprisingly, in my opinion, some people are even afraid of clowns.
Why continue to suffer? Call me now. You could be free of your fears in only a few hours.

The first of two lurid softcore melodramas introducing new Nikkatsu studio starlet Yuko Katagiri, this naughty high-school fantasy casts the ingenue as a character named Yuko Katagiri. She's a young lady with a serious crush on her gym teacher (Emiko Yamagishi), a feeling not entirely unshared by many of her female classmates. Those feelings aren't the only things the young ladies share, as a very naughty slumber party scene -- including lesbianism and a game of truth or dare involving eels -- makes evident. Eventually, Yuko decides to make her feelings known to her coach, only to be raped in the elevator on the way to his office. As appalling as this plot line may seem to neophytes, it's just business as usual in the peculiar world of Japanese softcore. Yuki Takami and Koji Satomi co-star, and Jokousei Report: Hanahiraku Yuko followed.

Maybe Occupy was too successful a brand in that it sometimes disguised how much this movement was part of popular surges going on around the world: the Arab Spring(including the three successful revolutions, the ongoing Syrian civil war, uprisings in Yemen, and more); the student uprisings in Montreal, Mexico, and Chile that have continued to develop and broaden; the economic revolts in Spain, Greece, and Britain; the ongoing demonstrations and insurrections around Africa; even various acts of resistance in India, Japan, China, and Tibet, some large and powerful. Because, in case you hadn't noticed, these days a lot of the world is in some form of rebellion, insurrection, or protest.
And the family resemblances matter. If you add them all up, you see a similar fury at greed, political corruption, economic inequality, environmental devastation, and a dimming, shrinking future.
— Rebecca Solnit on Occupy Wall Street
Revolutionaries are not born; they are made. They are made through social, political and economic turmoil; through dramatic events that change the course of history; through pain and suffering that results from immense injustice; and through an intrinsic bravery and selflessness that is difficult to find in most people. When revolutionaries emerge, when they decide to fight, there is almost nothing that can stop them.
The reality is that we live in a world that has taught us to be obedient and that is slowly breaking us down, one by one. It is a world in which stability and mere survival have become the dream of billions. Life is not about being who you want to be, or achieving what you want to achieve. It's about surviving myriad oppressive structures that determine our everyday lives, from capitalism to patriarchy, from imperialism to dictatorship. And in that quest for survival, humanity loses pieces of itself.
— Rebecca Solnit on the Occupy Wall Street movement and what it meant
Revolution is as unpredictable as an earthquake and as beautiful as spring. Its coming is always a surprise, but its nature should not be.
Revolution is a phase, a mood, like spring, and just as spring has its buds and showers, so revolution has its ebullience, its bravery, its hope, and its solidarity. Some of these things pass. The women of Cairo do not move as freely in public as they did during those few precious weeks when the old rules were suspended and everything was different. But the old Egypt is gone and Egyptians' sense of themselves — and our sense of them — is forever changed.
No revolution vanishes without effect. The Prague Spring of 1968 was brutally crushed, but 21 years later when a second wave of revolution liberated Czechoslovakia, Alexander Dubcek, who had been the reformist Secretary of the Czechoslovakian Communist Party, returned to give heart to the people from a balcony overlooking Wenceslas Square: "The government is telling us that the street is not the place for things to be solved, but I say the street was and is the place. The voice of the street must be heard."
The voice of the street has been a bugle cry this year. You heard it. Everyone did, but the rulers who thought their power was the only power that mattered, heard it last and with dismay. Many of them are nervous now, releasing political prisoners, lowering the price of food, and otherwise trying to tamp down uprisings.
— Rebecca Solnit on revolutions
Having dispensed with the unit, Mr. Bratton as well as Mayor Bill de Blasio must now deal with the underlying problem: the Police Department's longstanding tendency to trample on people's rights during investigations of groups engaged in political activities.
— Just out of the spotlight, Egyptians' anger lives on and feet continue to hit the streets across the nation despite the largest crackdown in decades
Traditionally, young people have energized democratic movements. So it is a major coup for the ruling elite to have created societal institutions that have subdued young Americans and broken their spirit of resistance to domination.

What happens when hundreds of Keystone activists get arrested in front of the White House? Not much, judging by the lack of media interest.

11 technologies that changed the world
LCD TVs and Facebook might be important parts of our lives today, but how much do they matter compared with these inventions that transformed society?
Running water INSIDE houses. Imagine having to get up at night in the cold and dark to use the bathroom outside, or having to wash, cook, and bathe without running water in your home.
Might not have changed the world, but it sure improved it saved a lot of lives if for no other reason than health reasons.
A long time ago....Someone asked someone else, about a building on a hill...
The Answer was, "That is where the dreamers work, and dreams come true."
It was a Bell Labs (AT&T) Operation....And I think it was in New Jersey or upstate New York.
Originally a lot of Computer type stuff came out of BL, like the transistor, fast chips, lasers, lightwave and thousands of other patents.
And there have been other Companies also with Excellent R&D Centers..We have been very fortunate.
Your right....Gawker....There are dozens of Brain Centers around the World including Palto Alto..
Many sprung up in the 60s, lot to do with imagination and the Space Race, with NASA and the Government footing the bill....Kinda like Lithium batteries and solar today, but the Solar thing has been around at least since the 70s with some applications.
I'm just gonna guess, that Viagra, may have hurt the dildo industry, but then again maybe not.??
So when our Government spends money, on what some consider foolishness, keep in mind that we have moved ahead in great strides because of it...NASA, Weapondary, Interstates, Bridges, Railroads, Dams, Power Grids, Satellites,Communications, which includes everything you talk on or send messages with..BUT personally I think we have enough rocks and dirt from outer space.
Cars, Trains, and Planes...
Although several inventors probably with accreditation to Automobiles...Europe and U.S.
Mostly born out of Wagons,buggys and Carriages....Self powered....No pullers.
Funny, Studebaker in Indiana...A Great maker of wagons...Was one of earlys..Even had an Electric model powered vechicle in 1900s...Now none of that exist, except mostly Antiques. Out of Biz.
Trains are what they are, a way to move people and stuff in a better straight line across a Countryside.
Supposedly at a much faster timeline...That's kind of changed from the early days too.
Wood and coal were cheap fuels for the old Steam Engines back in the day.
Planes probably came about when some Chinese guy attached bird like wings to a bottle-type rocket eons ago....Germans did it during the Blitz of England and in WW2.
Wilbur and Orville using mostly a glider type aeroplane and a lawnmower engine of sorts...
Dayton Ohio.."The Home of Flight"...Kittyhawk the proving grounds and a Great Aircraft Carrier.
Some of these are hilarious, and fun to read.....History at it's best...
Along with the guns or maybe even cannons....
Most needed gunpowder(maybe Chinese)...But we can't ask or know who the "First" inventor was.
You couldn't even ask him/her 2 minutes after they "discovered it"...They were probably dead.
Ahhhh,The Microwave.....Kinda think it came about because of Military use of radars??
Or other radio wave use...Could have been discovered because heat developed and burns incurred around the use of many different types of devices using the technology.
The Microwave was a better use of a technology we already had....Much innovation has developed the same way...Better, more practical use for the masses.
Microwave for us is usually left to reheating coffee, defrosting stuff and heating up leftovers..
Not our preferred way to cook, except maybe hotdogs, popcorn or poached eggs.
But neverless a handy tool in the Kitchen.
They were a little bit dangerous, in the early days, and mini-explosions are still scary.

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service
146 Bolton Road
Swinton, Manchester
Tel: 0161 736 5866
For a FREE Home Safety Check please call:
A FURNITURE firm has been fined £14,000 for flouting fire safety laws - in the biggest fine secured in Greater Manchester under fire safety laws.
CFS Furniture was fined £14,000 for seven offences that put workers at risk.
The fine was handed out at Oldham Magistrates' Court on Thursday, May 31, after the case was adjourned twice because the company failed to send anyone to the previous hearings.
CFS was fined £2,000 for each offence and ordered to pay the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service Costs of £3,500.
Fire safety officers discovered a raft of dangers at their units - an inadequate alarm system, inadequate fire escapes, a lack of emergency lighting, the failure to train staff in how to act in a fire and the storage of items that were a high fire risk.
CFS Furniture Ltd of Laurel House, Laurel Trading Estate, Royton, was found guilty and Martin Muldowney of Stubley Mill Road, Littleborough pleaded guilty to seven breaches of the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005 that put workers at risk.
They admitted the offences at Oldham Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, February 28, 2012.
At sentencing on Friday, March 30, 2012, Muldowney had provided proof of his bankruptcy and income the court treated him as having an income of £100 per week and fined him £100 for each offence and ordered him to pay £700 towards the Fire Service's costs.
A collection order was made - meaning if Muldowney does not pay he will face further action by the courts.
On October 5, 2010, a fire safety officer inspected units CFS was using at Laurel Trading Estate, which were being used to manufacture and store furniture.
The officer found large amounts of wood, foam and fabrics were being stored which created a high risk of fire.
However, there was no adequate alarm system in place and when the alarm that was present in part of the building was tested workers could not hear it.
There was no safe emergency escape route from the first and second floors that had been installed without Building Regulations approval from the local council.
Further investigations identified that there was no emergency lighting and staff had not received suitable training about what to do in the event of a fire.
The court heard that CFS Furniture was responsible, as the employer, and that Martin Muldowney, as director of the company - and in day-to-day control of the firm, was also responsible for fire safety.
Martin Muldowney had previous dealings with the fire service in other places of work and had received Enforcement Notices in 2003, 2005 and 2006.
The court heard that had a fire occurred at CFS it would have spread rapidly, without any warning to workers on the upper floors.
Assistant Chief Fire Officer Peter O'Reilly, Director of Prevention and Protection at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, said: "This fine reflects the serious failings of the company to take their responsibilities seriously.
"These units were being used to make furniture and were full of items that would burn quickly in a fire.
"The company employed more than 40 people and, by failing to take basic fire safety measures, put their lives at risks.
"Martin Muldowney was no stranger to us and should have known what was expected of him.
"The lack of an adequate fire alarm system and escape routes for workers was unacceptable and as staff were using the upper floors, the outbreak of any fire in these premises undoubtedly posed a serious threat to life.
"Following the inspection by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service officers, a prohibition notice was immediately issued preventing the use of the upper floors. Within a week, the company to took action to make the premises safe which raises the question why they had failed to do so in the first place.
"Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and Authority takes these cases seriously and will prosecute where businesses put profit over safety."
CFS Furniture Ltd and Martin Muldowney pleaded guilty to the following offences under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
32(1)(a) Failing to make a suitable and sufficient fire risk
32(1)(a) Failing to provide adequate means of giving warning in event of fire
32(1)(a) Failing to provide adequate means of escape due to extended travel distances
32(1)(a) Failing to provide adequate means of escape due to lack of fire resistance between first and second floor
32(1)(a) Failing to provide emergency lighting on emergency routes and exits
32(1)(a) Failing to provide employees with suitable and sufficient fire safety training

Walt Disney was right all along: dreams do come true. That is, if you're Zachary Levi and Mandy Moore, and your dream is to be in an animated Disney movie. Levi and Moore star as Flynn and Rapunzel in Tangled, a fresh adaptation of the fairy tale about the princess with way too much hair. While Levi admits an affinity for Aladdin, Moore was always an Ariel fan.
"For our generation, I feel like that's what every girl wanted to be," Moore says. "What little girl doesn't dream of being a Disney princess?" Both actors were also thrilled to be working with noted (and Academy Award-winning) Disney composer Alan Menken. Levi expressed a lifelong devotion to 1992's Newsies, though he's a fan of Menken's other work as well.
"[Working with Alan Menken] is bucket list," Levi says. "It's crazy, crazy bucket list. We both grew up knowing and singing all the songs to Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin."

The clerk of the Board of Supervisors, at the request of Board President David Chiu, has released a proposal for the selection process for a new mayor, and it's about as complicated and confusing as everyone expected. That's in part the result of the vagueness of the City Charter, which simply specifies that a vacancy in the office of mayor shall be filled by a San Francisco registered voter chosen by a majority of the supervisors but offers no procedural clues on how to get there. Read more »
The last time the Board of Supervisors had to pick a mayor, things were very different. Former Sup. Dan White had just murdered Mayor George Moscone and Sup. Harvey Milk. The city was in shock. Board President Dianne Feinstein became acting mayor, and one week later, on Dec. 4, six of her colleagues -- the narrowest possible margin -- elected her to fill out Moscone's term.Read more »
This is a truly enjoyable (if a little off-base) video about the selection process for the next mayor. I particularly like the part about the duties of the acting mayor. Check it out after the jumpRead more »
Today we talk about the anger over full-body scans and patdowns at airports -- and why the critics are missing the point. Body scans are far less intrusive than the sort of data mining, wiretaps and assaults on personal privacy that go on every single day in both the public and private sector. Listen after the jump.

"I brought my costume, it's in this bag. Well except for the pants." The song and dance man of the Bay's vaudevillian acid bordello, Broadway Freddie (aka Miguel Strong, or Michael if you're trying to get technical about it) is already seated at a corner table at the Right Spot Cafe when I arrive to chat about Yard Dog Road Show's first headlining show in San Francisco in years (The Independent, Sat/20).
Broadway-Miguel is wearing a striped tie, suit jacket, and dapper fedora, which by Yard Dogs Road Show standards seems vaguely pedestrian. But then he stands up. Electric blue, leopard print, so-skinny-they're-emaciated jeans. "Miley Cyrus," he confides, tossing his shoulder length blonde locks. Read more »
This year's Indy Spirits Expo, which took place 11/17, was much improved since last year's inaugural festivity, though crammed into the cool, brick-walled nightclub space of The Mighty. This event offers one of the better opportunities I've seen to sample everything from cachaca and pisco, to absinthe and eaux de vie, all in one room, among the best small batch spirits happening in the US and a few places beyond.

The nation's crumbling infrastructure is in very serious need of rebuilding. There's absolutely no doubt about that.
Miles and miles of roads, highways and airport runways need to be repaired or replaced, as do miles and miles of railroad track. Many bridges and other public structures need to be fixed. So do many streets and many street lights, many water and flood control systems, many park and recreation and port facilities' high speed train systems need developing and so does very much more that's vital to our daily lives.

A rare flying object has been spotted this weekend at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, namely Cynthia Hopkins, as intergalactic space pilot Ruom Yes Noremac, a post-human "Druoc" in a floppy silver space suit hovering high above the stage of the Novellus Theatre. She's returning from the far distant future to, what?, "save the earth, of course."
The Success of Failure (Or, the Failure of Success), making its Bay Area premiere tonight and tomorrow, makes up part three of the wildly inventive Accidental Trilogy developed by New York–based artist-musician Hopkins and company Accinosco. I caught it last night, and while a full review will have to wait until next week, I can say that the sight of her twirling there before a sprawling spacescape projected across an enormous screen — in a comical operetta musing on "the pros and cons of evolution," above a stage aglow and twinkling with arch sci-fi phantasmagoria, and in an all-pervading atmosphere of nostalgia and regret — seemed indeed to defy a certain gravity through the power of deft spectacle and ethereal song.
Apparently, even the massive, all-powerful aliens and scumdogs of the universe known as GWAR have trouble with reception on their iPhones.
While conducting a phone interview before a show in Hollywood, band leader Oderus Urungus' connection cut out twice, leaving him grumbling, "Maybe I'm clutching my iPhone too tightly!"
Perhaps it was his giant claws proving to be too much for our puny human technology to handle — either way, once the connection was re-established, the intergalactic beast that has led GWAR for more than a quarter century had no shortage of hilarious and outrageous things to say.
Having just finished taping a segment for the Fuel TV show Daily Habit, Oderus was being informed that he had revealed a bit more of himself to the television audience than he had thought. "I just did the show apparently with my balls hanging out the entire time and nobody told me! That's not like a big thing for Oderus, my balls usually are hanging out — but to try to get on national TV, I'm willing to do the ball tuck, but apparently the ball tuck didn't work, it was horrible, it looked like a duck-billed platypus coming out of a burrow or something!"
The Fairmont Hotel's storied Venetian Room, a.k.a. the San Francisco club where Tony Bennett first left his heart, has recently re-opened its doors to live music, courtesy of Marilyn Levinson's Bay Area Cabaret series. Chita Rivera wowed them earlier this month, and this weekend Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp do their thing, some of which you may have caught last year when they appeared in the touring revival of Rent at the Curran, in the roles they originated of Mark and Roger.
"So Paulette Frankl, why did you want to write a book about Tony Serra?" It seems like a reasonable question. After all, the "long hair" woman before me spent a good 17 years of work on her biography of San Francisco's most famous counter culture lawyer (book release party at Fort Mason Sat/20, btw). Her answer was a bit surprising.
"I didn't want to write a book about him! I wanted to be his artist!" Read more »
It may be a mainstream cliche that gay men are obsessed with their weight and appearance, but -- hey presto! -- it's also pretty true. It's also something not much discussed aloud in the gay community, although the bear movement of the 1990s managed to at least squeeze an entire subculture out of the topic. This Saturday evening, Andy Bydalek, director of last year's Frameline festival fave, Skinnyfat! The Movie (which dealt with the plight of two characters panicked over the loss of their six packs -- neither of whom would qualify for "The Biggest Loser" anytime soon), is organizing an important, local-luminary-studded panel at the LGBT Community Center called "Between Sizes" to address the issues of body image in the gay community after a screening of the director's cut of Skinnyfat! Lose your issues, not your tissue. Trailer and info after the jump.
Bay Area hip-hop heads are grateful that Zion I walks these mean streets. Emcee Zumbi and DJ Amp Live have been expanding the boundaries of what dope beats and lifted lyrics can be ever since they fled the industry culture of Atlanta and hit the Oakland scene with 1997's underground hit Enter the Woods. Their vibe's stayed positive while resisting major label affliation and a lot of the turf warring that plagues hip-hop in a weird, stereotype-enhancing way around some of the Bay's venues.
We spoke with Morehouse College grad Zumbi over the phone on the cusp of the duo's weekend-long Slim's celebration (Sat/20 and Sun/21) in honor of new album Atomic Clock, and the gig will be the duo's last before hitting the road on tour. Clock is a bangin', lifted affair studded with gems like "Always" and "Girlz" featuring Martin Luther's sweet hook -- but all the same, we still found ourselves talking politics. Sheesh.

Eid Mubarak to all my Muslim brothers & sisters. May Allah(SWT) make it a safe, fun, and blessed day ameen!
I remember as kid I had so many ambitions. I remember wanting to open a babysitting company, I remember making my own website hoping to attract Muslim girls. I remember wanting to sell stuff at school to make money.. I remember wanting to teach the Qur'an to others. I remember wanting to get my own job. I remember wanting to give sadaqah with my pocket money. I remember wanting to help other Muslims in need.
Now when I think of it they're lost… "Lost ambitions" I call it… I wanted to strive to do so much.. To do something great in Islam… I wanted to build my character so, I set the bar high only.. to not achieve. I just gave up, lost hope, just stopped trying. I told myself— "it wasn't possible".
When I see all the Muslims in the world right now both religious and non religious.. And those doing their part in this Duniya. I say to myself— "I could be apart of the religious and help the non religious" thus, doing "my part in this Duniya"… As of now I want to bring back one of my "Lost ambitions" which was wanting to teach the Qur'an, and actually work to a state to achieve it. I want to teach what I learn, to spread my knowledge. I mean what good is knowledge locked up? With my first ambition set, I want to teach the Qur'an to my mother first. Starting with Hingaad then gradually getting to Qur'an. It worry's me whats going on in this Duniya and to see that no one is actually prepared for their akhira. To see so many people not knowing the Holy book, thinking its okay. NO! Its not how do you expect to say your Muslim and to implement the teachings of the Qur'an in your life without actually reading it? Another ambition I want to set is helping out a charity. There are so many Muslims facing hardship around the world. In Syria, Somalia, Palestine, Burma, etc. I want to do my own fundraiser and possibly have a banquet dinner regarding the Muslims in need. There is so much I want to do and so little time. Insh'Allah please keep me in your du'as.
Im still struggling with my daily 5 prayers.. I usually miss Asr and Maghrib… but, today I missed Dhur because I was sleeping.. I don't want to continue this habit though. After Ramadan is over insh'Allah I will try my best to pray 5 times a day. The challenge will be when school starts… How will I pray Dhur? Insh'Allah I will find a way~ I really recomend this app called "QamarDeen" mash'Allah I love it.. It lets you keep track of how many times youv'e prayed,fasted,read Qur'an, and gave charity…
I want to become one of those blogs that post really deep text posts… like something that has a meaning behind it.. I want to soulfully do it.. To find out is there a real meaning behind this blog? I just want to capture the essence to do this.. Capturing someone's eye…
Im forever gonna be the faceless blogger for many reasons. Not that Im ugly alhamdulilah Im thankful for the way I look. I just think its irrelevent… I made this blog for Islamic purposes… Its kinda like a "anonymous blog" were I post my thoughts and.. Try to assist others who want to learn more. Thats why I really don't blog much about my personal information..
Im looking at a blog right now which is basically "tumblr famous" to me. She gets so many anon's and notes. Sigh… and everyone says her blog is brilliant and she's an amazing writer… I hope one day my blog is "tumblr famous" insh'Allah….

October 1 2014 Latest news:
Russell Martin believes there's a right way to play. Picture: Paul Chesterton / Focus Images
by paddy Davitt
Friday, March 23, 2012
Norwich City defender Russell Martin insists sticking to their beliefs will carry the club to Premier League survival.
The Canaries may have stumbled in recent weeks with the finishing line in sight, but Martin is convinced Paul Lambert's squad and promoted rivals Swansea have proved the gulf from the Football League can be bridged.
"Definitely. It's still extremely tough and we're not quite safe yet. But I think it shows you don't need to change when you come into the Premier League," he said.
"As long as you carry on with your principles. Swansea have done it, we've done it, we've stayed true to what we know and the way we play.
"I think a lot of teams come up and gone into it with a bid of trepidation and tried to change the way they play and set up to not get beaten but we've just gone for it.
"I think we have exceeded expectations. Probably not those of the people round here because they've come to expect what we've given them in the last two years – that's hard work and a team that likes to play football in the right way. I hope we've rewarded the fans who have got behind us in every single game, with the position we're sitting in at the moment but there's still a way to go and we need to start picking up a few more points again and make sure we stay in this league for next season."
Martin believes City will feel the benefit of their recent Spanish trip over the climax to a gruelling campaign.
"The break we just had together as a group did us a real favour. It does get hard. It's mentally and physically draining during the season, especially when you get to this point," he said.
"And the way we play, the intensity we play at as a group, it's been a good refresher. We worked hard over there but it's nice to get away and it brings you back together as a group, being around each other 24/7. It's been great and I think the boys are now refreshed, ready to go."
City's collective work ethic was borne out by recent figures from the Premier League showing Lambert's men have clocked up more miles than any other top flight outfit.
"We got told that the other day," said Martin. "As players that's why we're so knackered come the last few minutes of the game. It was the same last season in the Championship. That's what it's about. In training we work really, really hard with a real intensity. There's a togetherness here to go and get the ball back if we lose it, and win the ball back as quickly as we can. That's how we like to play, we like to press teams and I think that's when we're at our best, showing energy and pressing high up the pitch and playing with pace and tempo.
"That's how we need to play because we can't really do it any other way. It's a good stat but we'll carry on doing that all season. It's physically tiring but we're a fit bunch of lads."

You knew who I meant then Swiss. The guy thrives on the controversy but I'm sure it's not good for the club.
Friday, March 23, 2012
Reply ethered again, jharding. I find it amusing that the Club selects a Senior player to lip-synch the "company line". They don`t have to justify training trips to us, do they? "Doth protest too much" comes to mind. ILIT, OTBC anyway!
Friday, March 23, 2012
Enough already with the Spanish trip! What on earth did they do there that will feel the benefit towards the end of the season, eat cans of Popeye's special slow-relesae spinach? As for loose cannons, I see that Joey Barton is now attacking some QPR fans, I guess he must be running low on new targets these days.
Friday, March 23, 2012
They certainly don't have to justify it to me, but I find it kind of ironic that's he's bringing it up when they haven't won since. Take your point MB about senior players towing the company line, but I'm not sure whether that's always a bad thing, especially when you read about other team's loose cannons spouting off in the press.
Friday, March 23, 2012
Good script! Specially the bit justifying the Spanish Fly-away. You could hardly see PL`s lips moving! Vicarious Glasgonostery!
Friday, March 23, 2012
jharding, I do believe that we have not! I do find it quite amusing that the Club selects a player to lip-synch the Company Line. There`s no need, is there? If they feel a Spanish training break is a good idea, it`s up to them. It`s a "doth protest too much" job, I think! But ILIST and OTBC. Just get 3 points off Wolves!!!
Friday, March 23, 2012
Joey Barton is just embellishing his own notoriety in preparation for a cushy career in the Media or in "Entertainment". Think Vinnie Jones and Lily Savage.
Friday, March 23, 2012
Have we actually won a game yet since 'the Spanish trip'??

Don Byron (born November 8, 1958) is an American composer and multi-instrumentalist. He primarily plays clarinet, but has also used bass clarinet and saxophones.
Though rooted in jazz, Byron's music is stylistically eclectic. He has worked in many different musical genres, ranging from klezmer music and German lieder, to Raymond Scott's "cartoon-jazz," hard rock/metal, and rap. Most of Byron's albums have been conceptual, devoted to works of a particular musician and/or style of music.

Usability tends to get a specialized definition focused on the internet – making websites easier to use and the process itself tends to be covered up in fancy wording like heuristics and reverse card-sorting, but at a primal level, at its deepest core, usability is not new and how it is done isn't either. What has happened is that two other knowledge areas have been combined and applied differently.
Marketing has always focused on understanding how to appeal to customers, how to understand what they like and want and how to make whatever we're selling fall into that realm. In truth, however, marketing is trying to understand the customer and his or her motivations so we can meet their needs. That's the underlying focus of usability testing. We're trying to eventually make our site so straight-forward and easy to use that they will use it and that they will succeed in whatever they're trying to do on the site. That's why usability is really about customer service – it always has been and it always will be. The focus is just web-based.
I have a practical example that reinforces how intensely valuable it is when the website and the brick and mortar experiences coincide and reinforce each other. I have two IRA cds that are maturing. Since I'm not headed for retirement yet I needed to renew them and wanted to get the best rates i could. So I went to the site of my bank where the cds are now (Bank of America) to find out what the rates were. Nada. Zero. Zip. Search gave me meaningless blah on interest rates in general, but there was nothing on actual rates they're offering now.
So I looked at other bank sites, including a new bank that's moving into Middle Tennessee, called Fifth Third. They didn't have a search, which was disconcerting, but I clicked on a link for CDs and saw a link straight to their current rates. I found that they have a special at 5%. That's not a high rate, but these days it's better than most. It was simple to find, though. So I went to a local branch in Hermitage – they are right down from my office and walked in the door. Immediately, I was greeted by two tellers from behind the counter, both of whom wanted to help me. They asked what I needed and then one came out from behind the counter to help. We filled out the paperwork, she told me everything I had to do to arrange the transfer, and we were done. It was a very pleasant experience and we were done in around five minutes. Then I went to Bank of America.
I got there at noon and walked in the door. The bank is always busy at lunch time so they have set up a help kiosk just inside the door. I have dealt with two people before who get to stand there and help people and both have always been very helpful when I've come in. They don't do deposits but they handle the smaller things that don't require a bank officer or a teller. Both of these people were at the kiosk when I walked in. They asked if they could help and when I told them what I needed, they told me I would need to wait for a bank officer.
There was a line for the two bank officers so I sat and waited. Finally one became available and then another and I was next in line. After sitting there waiting for 17 minutes, one of the ladies who had been at the kiosk came up and said she could help me. It seems she was a bank officer and not only could she have helped me when I walked in but she could have been helping the other people who were waiting as well. Whatever reason she had for standing at the kiosk, and it may have been perfectly valid, it left an immediate customer service impression on me.
I'm moving my account to Fifth Third not just because of the rates but mostly because of the service differences. They are substantial because the 5/3 employees aren't just tellers – they're relationship managers. That's what their business cards call them and that's the attitude and approach they take. It's a winning difference. It won me. In case you happen to live near Hermitage, TN, where this 5/3 Bank is, the young woman's name is Emily Evans. She's my new banker.

During the Occupy Wall Street movement, Malcolm Harris participated in a protest march on the Brooklyn Bridge. During this protest march, Harris, along with others, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for marching on the roadway of the bridge, as opposed to the pedestrian walkway. As part of the investigation, the District Attorney's office sought to acquire Harris's Twitter records through a subpoena. The District Attorney's office had reason to believe that the information contained in these Twitter records would contradict his anticipated defense at trial.Read More →

Litepanels 1x1 Bi-Color Flood
Litepanels 1x1 Bi-Color is the first professional light to utilize both 3200°K and 5600°K LEDs in a single housing. This revolutionary new concept in lighting puts virtually unlimited color control right at your fingertips. Litepanels' ingenious design delivers soft, directional output in any color you desire — from cool white daylight to soft warm tungsten, or any temperature in between. Until now, when cinematographers, videographers and still photographers faced a change of lighting conditions between daylight and tungsten, they've either had to change lighting systems entirely, re-lamp the fixture, or use light-robbing filtration. With the 1x1 Bi-Color, a single light fixture does it all.To further expand the 1x1 Bi-Color's flexibility, the fixtures can vary the mix between tungsten and daylight LEDs to set the resulting color temperature to any point between 3200°K and 5600°K. Color temperature can be dialed in by using either the onboard dial or digital color temperature settings, or via a DMX lighting controller. Thus the Bi-Color user can make quick adjustments to match unusual mixes of color temperature, or to enhance skin tones. 1x1 Bi-Color LED fixtures feature Litepanels' full-range integrated dimmer that enables instant dimming from 0 to 100 percent with minimum shift in color. It provides the same low power requirements, less than 10 percent of the electricity needed to power standard lighting fixtures. Because Litepanels fixtures generate practically no heat at all, there is an additional savings in the energy required for air conditioning. The 1x1 Bi-Color's modular design makes it easy to customize the lighting configuration to meet the shoot's requirements. Its smart, slimline profile, just 12" W x 12" H x 1.75" D (30.48cm x 30.48cm x 43mm), makes the 1x1 Bi-Color ideal for lighting in tight spots, and the fixtures can be powered from a variety of 10-18V sources, including an optional battery, car battery, or AC adapter. The 1.75 hour lithium-ion battery pack provides untethered mobility.

Although you have M1, if there are other financed properties like this home within this zoned area for the appraiser to use as comps and if the zoning authority would allow for a rebuild of a home in the event of the home's destruction, then you should be able to find a lender willing to do this loan. Comparables and overall street placement will be the key. Find a good local lender and have them research these questions first.
FHA 203k program, this will allow for the refinance of the property along with funding to have the zoning changed and the variance filed. This Program will also fund any home improvements you would like to make.
There's a lot going on there.. To obtain a conventional conforming loan, the zoning would have to change.. MI is light commercial, and you won't get home financing unless you get it changed.. That is not an easy process for most places.. The fact that you live there has little to do with how a property is zoned... Your best bet is commercial financing.. for that you need to go to www.scotsmanguide.com I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com
You would need to contact a commercial lender.
Gary has the right idea, We just did a refinance like this in Riverside CA. Contact me at 800 315 8803. My name is Bart and I have been in the mortgage business for 25 years. I am happy to answer your mortgage questions, 7 days a week and review your loan scenario.
