Visual Effects - You've come a long way baby
Growing up in the Chicagoland area, we could count on watching the 1930's sci-fi serial Flash Gordon starring Buster Crabbe every Sunday morning on the venerable WGN TV station. Even though the series was old at the time I was seeing it, it was none the less one of the highlights of my week.
So now with the Internet, catching the ol Flash series is as easy as doing a search on YouTube.
Flash Gordon was a major and direct influence on Star Wars. In its heyday a new episode was screened each week in movie theaters as a continuing series. By today's standards, the visual effects are primitive, but at the time they were cutting edge. The design of the series in my opinion is still impressive and exciting.
Watch this episode of "Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe". It's called "The Purple Death" and features a fight between two spaceships.
Appreciating the past helps us to appreciate the present, so feel free to contribute video of cheesy FX that you feel played a part in the development of the art.
Re: Visual Effects - You've come a long way baby
Another clip from Flash Gordon. This is from a few years earlier in 1936. Check out all the hi-tech gadgets. One other thing about the series. The producers didn't mind showing some skin.
Re: Visual Effects - You've come a long way baby
In the 1970s a movie was produced that spoofed Flash Gordon. "Flesh Gordon" was popular for its time and at one point in the film had some pretty good stop motion animation of a Ray Harryhausen type of sex obsessed monster which you can see in this video.
Re: Visual Effects - You've come a long way baby
I'm surprised how few people are aware of the 1968 sci-fi film "Barbarella". Jane Fonda was in the leading role. It involved her exploits/sexual awakening in the 40th century when sexuality was experienced through drugs and not through physical contact with others.
In this scene, I'd say the most controversial and best remembered in the film, Barbarella is going to be tortured to death in the Excessive Machine, which induces sexual ecstasy so great that one dies from pleasure.
Check out the late 1960s effects and how she handles the ordeal.
Re: Visual Effects - You've come a long way baby
At one point of the movie, Barbarella seduces an angel and restores his will to fly. The effects were considered top level for the time.
Re: Visual Effects - You've come a long way baby
Here's another film that few people have heard of, yet was very popular in its time and played a role in setting a standard for visual effects.
Released in 1964, "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" is a very good movie. You can watch the entire film through 13 parts on YouTube. It starts at 18 seconds into the video. Here's part 1 and you can follow the movie through the subsequent links if you'd like to see it all.
RCOM was a direct influence on the 1960s TV series Star Trek. You'll also notice that it stars Adam West of "Batman" fame which aired a couple of years later.
Re: Visual Effects - You've come a long way baby
In the same year as Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964) another effects heavy sci-fi movie was released that made its mark in cinema.
"First Men In the Moon" was inspired by H.G. Wells and involved an expedition to the moon in the late 1800s that mankind did not become aware of until our return in the 1960s. In the movie, the moon is inhabited by insect like creatures who dwell beneath the surface. This was a popular film for its time as well, and can be viewed in its entirety on YouTube starting with part 1.
Here's the trailer for the movie.
Re: Visual Effects - You've come a long way baby
Wild, wild stuff Charles.
It's all the more amazing when I realize that, were I tasked with re-producing any one of the shots featured in these films (which were handled practically) I wouldn't know where to start. And I have Max, Maya, XSI and Lightwave all at my disposal.
They did all that without a single assist from an Autodesk or Alias or Newtek product.
Re: Visual Effects - You've come a long way baby
All the more reason to admire the effects in these films and in others that've gone before. EAllen.
Perhaps the most significant special effects laden film of all, or at least certainly very high on the list of the most influential effects films ever produced, was the 1956 classic "Forbidden Planet".
In this sequence, a team of space explorers from earth are encountering the 'Monster from the Id' which becomes visible through some outstanding effects animation combined with character animation. To this day, it never fails to impress.
Check it out.
Re: Visual Effects - You've come a long way baby
"Fantastic Voyage" was another film that pushed the FX envelope. The 1966 movie featured an adventure within the human body itself, with a vessel and its crew miniaturized and injected into a subject whose life had to be saved through a medical procedure performed from the inside. It stared Raquel Welch who was hitting her stride as the hottest sex symbol in cinema at the time.
Re: Visual Effects - You've come a long way baby
We can't have a homage to the art of visual effects in cinema without acknowledging this all important film. It was awesome in its day and remains so even in our time. Newly restored and recently broadcast on the cable station TCM in the US, you can the 1927 sci-fi classic "Metropolis" in its entirety through several parts on YouTube.
Here's a trailer that's been produced to commemorate its restoration.

American Business
A string of vigorously pro-business presidents and their equally ardent administrations made the Twenties a particularly fertile era for business growth. Indeed, Calvin Coolidge's pro-capital fervor mirrored that of thousands of business and government leaders. "The man who builds a factory," said Coolidge in a January 1925 speech, "builds a temple. The man who works there worships there."
Indeed, many such temples were built. Factories producing everything from sewing machines (which themselves had revolutionized the garment industry) to newfangled gadgets like vacuum cleaners sprung up all over the country. The "Steel Belt" developed across urban centers located on the Great Lakes. The waterways provided easy access for receiving raw materials and shipping out finished goods.
The need for rapid production of tanks and other war machines during World War I had resulted in technological innovation and inspired much of the vigor that characterized 1920s industrial America. After the war, Europe had little energy (or capital) with which to compete with the momentum of American productivity.
High tariff policies, reductions in corporate income taxes, a dramatic decline in the power of the Federal Trade Commission, and the weakening of what little social legislation existed further invigorated industry. With the rise of advertising, "consumer culture," and buying on credit, many Americans craved luxury and enjoyed convenience never before imagined. The time was ripe for giddy stockholders and flush C.E.O.s.

Hi con_fuse9,
The 'bike I'm working on - a Harris F1 - was hand-built in very limited numbers (about 6 of them, around 1987-89), fabricated from individual pieces of box-section alloy TIG welded together. The seat sub-frame that I want to build is a seperate item, bolted to the main chassis - so I've no concerns over messing up the original 'bike itself whilst I learn to weld.
The material I'm using is 1/2 inch box-section alloy, either 6082, or 6063 - 3/32" wall thickness. Tungsten is 3/32" 0.8% Zirconium, cup-size is 7/16", filler-rod is 3/32" aluminum with 5% silicone - shield gas is Argon.
I find that with a foot-pedal 80 Amps is fine, I'm only using all the Amps on start-up to get the puddle formed, then backing-off as I run the weld. 75% balance seems ok, I've tried playing around with this but it doesn't seem to make allot of difference - maybe I'm missing something(?).
With the frequency I'm finding 120Hz gives a more focussed arc, a more controlled weld puddle, and I can control penetration better with my travel speed. Early days yet, so maybe as my technique improves I'll come down on the Hz a little, but as you say - personal preferance maybe.
Thanks for the advice, it's still early days - reckon I'm going to need a fair bit more practice before I get to the skill-level that I'm looking for

Toro Rosso got off to a slow start in Japan, joining Caterham, Marussia and HRT at the bottom of the timesheets in practice...
Toro Rosso got off to a slow start in Japan, joining Caterham, Marussia and HRT at the bottom of the timesheets in practice...
Toro Rosso:
Daniel Ricciardo: "It's a really nice circuit, I am happy to be back after my first experience here last year and I had fun driving it today. I particularly like the 130R, which is very challenging with the DRS and it's the point on the track where you sometimes hold your breath! This morning we started from our usual baseline and then I felt we could make some changes which we did in between the sessions. I think these improved the car even if it did not seem to help us close the gap to our opponents, which suggests everyone is making some steps forward. However, I am happy we have made progress and, as usual in fact, it seems our long run pace looks more competitive than our qualifying pace, which is important given that the points are only scored on Sunday."
Jean-Eric Vergne: "Another circuit that I had only seen on the simulator until today and I have to say it's really nice. The best part is the first part, the Esses, which is great fun to drive. Apart from that, I would say we had a positive first day of practice, a normal Friday, when the times don't mean much as we don't know what fuel loads everyone else has. I'd say we seem in pretty good shape, even if there are still some areas we can work on to find more performance for the rest of the weekend. As this is my first time here, I am also improving every time I go on track and so there is more to come from me too. I ran both tyres and that side of the package seems reasonably straightforward."
Heikki Kovalainen: "A pretty good session for me today in FP2. Having sat out FP1 we had a lot to get through in the afternoon session and we got through everything we'd planned. On the early runs on the hard tyres we had to work pretty hard to find a decent balance but we made a few changes and started heading in the right direction. On the soft tyres the car felt much better - it immediately felt balanced on the performance run and the degradation levels and balance on the long run were pretty manageable. We also finished with a time that puts some clear air between us and the cars behind, so overall a pretty positive day."
Vitaly Petrov: "I came into Japan with a cold that meant I had to miss some of yesterday's work on track. I've felt better today but it's still good to have got through so much work today in the car. We've run a lot of laps, doing aero work and testing a couple of new parts in the morning session and focusing on the tyres in FP2. On the final lap in the afternoon session I went off in turn one after a problem with the rear wing. We'll have a very close look at what caused that so we can make sure it doesn't happen again but apart from that I've had an OK Friday here in Japan. As the day's gone on the car has felt better on each run and it was pretty consistent on both tyre compounds. Having completed the runplans we set for FP1 and FP2 we've generated a lot of information for the guys to work on tonight and I think we're setting ourselves up OK for the weekend ahead."
Timo Glock: "It has not been any easy session for us. FP1 and FP2 were not straightforward because the car felt a bit difficult on the hard tyre. The balance wasn't good at all in FP1, but we have found a better solution in FP2. But still, all is not quite as good as it could be and we need to work a bit on our car set-up. We are a little further behind our competitors because of the KERS effect. I had the chance to follow some cars but when they deploy the KERS it has such a big effect here in Japan. We need to see what we can do tomorrow and try to close the gap to them by finding a way to improve the car for both long runs and qualifying. Let's see what we can do overnight."
Charles Pic: "Today was my first taste of the Suzuka Circuit and I enjoyed the experience very much. We achieved the full programme, but we are not where we would like to be yet and we were a few tenths missing today. Having said that, it is positive that the new floor Timo ran with seems to be working well, and I will get to feel the benefit of that tomorrow. I am looking forward to pushing the car forward and a stronger rest of the weekend."
Pedro de la Rosa: "I'm happy with the day we had as we were very disciplined. We progressed as the day wore on and that's always positive. In the morning we started out with the old floor and then moved on to the new one to carry out an evaluation at a constant speed so now we can analyze all the data extracted and make comparisons. In the afternoon we focused on the set-up of the car. We've got quite a bit of understeer, as I think most teams do, but although we've improved it quite a bit we've still got a lot of work to do. We've also tested both tyre options and done a qualifying and long distance simulation. I'm satisfied because it's been a very productive day."
Narain Karthikeyan: "It's been an intense day of work as we had a lot of tests to do with the new floor. It was important to carry out the aero evaluation at a constant speed to evaluate its efficiency whilst also working on adjustments to the set-up. And it was positive because we extracted a lot of data and we have good sensations. But now we must analyze all that data to get the most out of it for tomorrow because there are still some areas in which we can improve."

Costas delivered his nationally televised message by paraphrasing part of a column written by Jason Whitlock on FoxSports.com. In the column, Whitlock writes: "What I believe is, if he didnt possess/own a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today."
Costas made the anti-gun statement during halftime of NBC's Sunday Night Football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys.
His words were viewed by some as political grandstanding.
"The Media Left at Halftime: Bob Costas pushing gun control, quoting...who else?..a sports writer on ridding the country of the 2nd Amendment," Lou Dobbs tweeted.
"Bob Costas, whos gotten rich thanks in part to a sport that destroys mens bodies and brains, gives us a little civics lecture," tweeted TV commentator Andy Levy.

PROVIDENCE — Out with the "old," in with the new.
For Cumberland High senior co-captain Courtney Kent, she couldn't have fathomed a better way to close her interscholastic career at the R.I. Girls Swimming Championships, held Saturday afternoon at the recently-finished Brown University natatorium.
Really, who would argue with two individual crowns, not to mention a relay title and a runner-up in another?
And Lincoln High freshman Mollie Westrick fulfilled a dream she first set for herself as a child competing for the Boys & Girls Club of Cumberland-Lincoln Penguins youth team. Like her elder counterpart, she snagged a pair of individual crowns.
Kent left this "Aquatic Cathedral" – the descendant of the legendary, long-ago torn-down Smith Swimming Center – with her sixth and seventh career individual gold medals at these state championships.
She crushed the field in the 200-yard freestyle (1:54.33) and 500-yard freestyle (4:59.29)' in both, she broke her own school records by a combined 1.26 seconds.
The amiable Clipper also registered a PR of 28.82 while swimming the backstroke leg of the 200 medley relay, which – with the help of freshman Kayleigh Canavan and fellow seniors Kate LeBeau and Kayla Zerva – sailed to the title in another CHS mark of 1:53.92.
Then there was Kent opening the 200 freestyle relay with a lifetime-best 50-yard split of 25.58. That aided teammates Canavan, Zerva and junior Kenzie McCormick to a runner-up finish and another school-record shatter of 1:43.38.
In the process, Kent either accounted for or helped accumulate an astonishing 114 of the Clippers' 204 points, good for sixth overall.
South Kingstown cruised to the team crown with 310 points, and rival North Kingstown placed a distant second with 225, while head coach Sandy Gorham's Barrington squad mustered third (217), a mere point ahead of La Salle. Prout took fifth with 207.
As for the Lions, "Super Frosh" Westrick looked calm and collected as she gleaned titles in the 100 butterfly (59.54) and the 100 backstroke (58.05), both in lifetime-best clockings. Those performances lifted Lincoln to eighth with 104 points, just four shy of seventh-place Bay View.
When asked if she could have scripted a better finish to her interscholastic career, Kent just grinned, "No, I don't think so! Just the way my team swam in the relays, how well they did, that was icing on the cake. I wasn't nervous coming in, but more excited. I wanted to swim my best times, and I did, so for that, I'm very thankful, but my teammates swam great.
"In the 200 medley (relay), we won it by about a second over North Kingstown, and we dropped three seconds from our time (at the Division I meet) a couple of weeks ago," which was 1:56.23, she added. "We also broke our school record, and I just knew it was going to happen beforehand. Our girls are fearless; we don't let anything bother us. We handle pressure well."
Call that an understatement, as Kent has been successful for years now. With her win in the 200 freestyle, she captured her third straight Ocean State title, and – in the 500 – her fourth. She's one of only a few Rhode Islanders ever to sweep a single event, and almost guaranteed herself ownership of those CHS individual and relay marks for decades to come.
"This is the reason I swim (in) high school," as opposed to strictly the USA Swimming, Inc.-affiliated club Crimson Aquatics of Whitinsville," she said. "I can't wait for college (she signed a national letter-of-intent to represent the University of Vermont on scholarship come late summer) because you swim for a team.
"I love swimming for Cumberland High," she continued. "When you swim for a club, you're pretty much swimming for yourself. With a school, you're competing for others. It's just more fun."
As for Westrick, she attended the state meet last February as an eighth-grader, and admittedly got caught up in the atmosphere while cheering on pals.
"I've been looking forward to my first state meet for a long time," she laughed after making her wins in the "fly" and "back" look elementary. "I went to (the University of Rhode Island's Tootell Natatorium) with a friend, and we had a blast! I saw all of my friends swimming, the upperclassmen to me, and they were doing well. I kept thinking, 'This is so much fun!'
"I really couldn't wait for this," she continued, "and I don't think it's sunk in yet. Right now I'm thinking I'll wake up (Sunday) and say, 'Did I dream that? Was that real?'"
Yes, Mollie, you're a two-time state champion at age 15.
After combining with teammates Kaelyn Zak, Nicole Moneghan and Yelizavetta Korotrova in the championship-opening 200 medley relay, one in which Westrick posted a 50 backstroke split of 27.73, she took the blocks for her butterfly specialty; 100 yards later, she had outstroked runner-up Ivana Andrews of La Salle by exactly 1.88 ticks; and third-place freshman Allison Dunkie by 2.00.
In the backstroke, the Lioness had entered with a PR of 59.15, but hydroplaned into the wall 1.1 seconds quicker. She also defeated Andrews by 2.25 ticks.
"I'm just surprised she won (the butterfly) by that much," Lincoln head coach Tom DiIorio grinned afterward. "I've been coaching Mollie since she was this high (lowering his hand to about three feet, six inches) as an eight-and-under, but she's always had that killer instinct.
"She used to come up to me before the (Rhode Island/Massachusetts Youth Swim League) championships, whether she was (in the) eight-and-under, 9-10 or 11-12 (age groups), and say, 'I'm going to beat those girls.'
"I'd just tell her, 'Mollie, they're four or five seconds faster,' but she'd tell me, 'I don't care. I'm going to do it!'" he added. "Guess what? She did. She's extremely talented, but she works very, very hard. She's also just built to swim. She's built to power her way through the water."
Outside of Kent, Cumberland had a number of other stellar outings, and – had one unfortunate occurrence not taken place – it may have finished third or fourth in the team standings.
After junior Kenzie McCormick took sixth in the 200 freestyle (PR of 2:03.65), meet officials disqualified her during the 100 butterfly for a "rolling" (or illegal) start. In that race, she had manufactured a personal-best 1:01-plus, which would've eclipsed her previous mark by over 1.25 ticks.
McCormick's time may not have bettered the third-place time of 1:01.54, mustered by Dunkie, but it would have overtaken Warwick Vets' Katie Evans' 1:02.75 clocking, one that scored 15 points for the Hurricanes.
Long-time Clippers' head coach Heidi Josephson was visibly upset by the call, one that may have been overruled due to the fact McCormick had moved slightly backward before the start. Still, there was good news pending: In the second-place 200 freestyle relay, the undaunted McCormick achieved a lifetime-best split of 26.16.
She also anchored the eighth-place 400 freestyle relay with a PR 100 split of 56.86.
"That was awesome!" Josephson exclaimed to McCormick after the last event on the program, the comment finally eliciting a broad smile. "Kenzie really had a great day of swimming. Even with the DQ, she did her best time in the fly. That has to be recognized."
So do these: Canavan rolled to sixth in the 100 breaststroke (1:11.67) and eighth in the 200 individual medley (2:23.36), and Zerva took sixth in the 50 freestyle (25.93) and 15th in the 100 backstroke (1:06.44). LeBeau added an eighth in the 100 butterfly (1:07.75), and teammate Jillian McCann 15th in the same race.
North Smithfield's Cassaundra Trudel assembled a premier performance, collecting a second in the 50 freestyle (24.65, just .49 behind the Rebels' champion Jackie Karpowicz) and third in the 100 freestyle (54.72).
St. Raphael Academy standout Carol Santos easily won her heat in the 100 fly in 1:06.90 (5.22 seconds quicker than her seed), and placed ninth.
As for her squad's overall success in the water, Josephson just sighed.
"I can't believe it; the girls were outstanding, and they deserve a ton of credit," she noted. "They all swam their personal bests, from top to bottom. They were all so focused. After the blizzard hit, we couldn't practice (due to mandatory Interscholastic League rules barring workouts on 'Snow Days'), but they overcame all of that. I couldn't be more proud."

European Enterprise Promotion Awards
About the European Enterprise Promotion Awards
Since 2006, the European Enterprise Promotion Awards have rewarded excellence in promoting entrepreneurship and small business at a national, regional and local level. Over 2 800 projects have entered since the awards were launched and together they have supported the creation of thousands of new companies.
For information on the 2015 European Enterprise Promotion Awards go to the new website.
The winners of the European Enterprise Promotion Awards are announced at an Awards ceremony at the SME Assembly, which is part of European SME Week.
The objectives of the Awards are to:
- identify and recognise successful activities and initiatives undertaken to promote enterprise and entrepreneurship;
- showcase and share examples of best entrepreneurship policies and practices;
- create a greater awareness of the role entrepreneurs play in society;
- encourage and inspire potential entrepreneurs.
Take a look at past EEPA winners – 2012 [2 MB] , 2013 [3 MB] , 2014
The six award categories are:
- Promoting the entrepreneurial spirit - Recognises initiatives at national, regional or local level that promote an entrepreneurial mindset especially among young people and women
- Investing in entrepreneurial skills - Recognises initiatives at national, regional or local level to improve entrepreneurial and managerial skills
- Improving the business environment - Recognises innovative policies at national, regional or local level which promote enterprise start-up and growth, simplify legislative and administrative procedures for businesses and implement the "Think Small First" principle in favour of small and medium-sized enterprises
- Supporting the internationalisation of business - Recognises policies and initiatives that encourage at national, regional or local level enterprise and particularly small and medium-sized businesses to benefit more from the opportunities offered by markets both inside and outside the European Union
- Supporting the development of green markets and resource efficiency - Recognises policies and initiatives at national, regional or local level that support SME access to green markets and help to improve their resource efficiency through, for example, green skills development and matchmaking as well as funding.
- Responsible and inclusive entrepreneurship - Recognises national, regional or local initiatives by authorities or public/private partnerships that promote corporate social responsibility among small and medium sized enterprises. This category will also recognise efforts to promote entrepreneurship among disadvantaged groups such as the unemployed, especially long term unemployed, legal migrants, disabled or people from ethnic minorities.
The Grand Jury Prize can be from any category and will go to the entry considered the most creative and inspiring entrepreneurship initiative in Europe.
National, regional or local authorities or public-private partnerships from all EU Member States including Iceland, Norway, Serbia and Turkey are invited to participate.
Eligible entities can be national organisations, towns, cities, regions and communities as well as public-private partnerships between public authorities and entrepreneurs, educational programmes and business organisations.
Cross-border initiatives will be accepted as long as they are nominated jointly by all countries involved.
The competition has two stages; applicants must first compete at the national level and will then be eligible to compete at the European level. For the national competition, each country will select two entries to be nominated for the European competition.
A shortlist of nominees will be chosen by the European jury. All nominees from the national and European competitions will be invited to attend the awards ceremony at the SME Assembly, which is part of European SME Week. The ceremony recognises the winners for their efforts and gives them the opportunity to present themselves in a pan-European environment.
Closing date for entries to the national selection is set by each country.
Nominees will be selected based on the following criteria:
- Originality and feasibility
- The impact they have on the local economy
- The improvement of local stakeholder relations
- Transferability of the project to other regions in Europe

8 Sep 2009
I just found out that Magic Hat Brewing is having a "#9tacular" event tomorrow to celebrate 09-09-09, September 9, 2009. There's no mention of the next one a thousand years from now so it's best to attend this event which will be held on Church Street in Magic Hat's hometown of Burlington VT.
Magic Hat has a special affinity to nines because of one of the brewery's most popular beers is named #9. And if there's anything this company likes almost as much as beer, it's having a good time.
#9tacular starts at 6:00 pm and goes 'till 10:00. That's pm, not the next morning. There will be live karaoke, a performance by The Rubblebucket Orchestra band, a laser light show, a scavanger hunt to benefit the non-profit Burlington City Arts, and a chance to win a very cool #9 cruiser bike (contest ends Sept 18).
If you can't travel to Vermont for this, there will be many other #9tacular events around the country that may be nearer for you.

|Alchemist Brewpub Update
The Alchemist Brewery and Pub is one of the most popular spots in this area for tourists and residents alike. Anyone who is a beer lover should put The Alchemist on your must-do list (bucket list?). It's located on South Main Street in Waterbury VT.
To keep up with what brewer John Kimmich is preparing, you can subscribe to the blog RSS feed. A recent entry talks about the gluten free offerings as well as other Summer Time Beers. John started preparing gluten free beer and food offerings after his wife and co-owner Jennifer discovered she needs to consume gluten-free products.
The food there is excellent so be sure to give it a try too. Executive Chef Jeff Lang uses a lot of locally grown fresh produce in his imaginative menu which you can look over on the website before you arrive.

|Mother's Day Ideas
Nobody loves you as much as mom. You can give her a Mother's Day she will cherish with the gift of Vermont. Take her to a Vermont inn, restaurant, attraction, or simply a drive in the country.
If that's not possible this year, you can send Vermont to her with a Vermont Teddy Bear. They are very good at online orders and ship quickly. If you are going to travel to Vermont next weekend (Mother's Day is May 10), a tour of the Vermont Teddy Bear factory in Shelburne VT would be fun.
Vermont Teddy Bear has several pages of Mother's Day bears on its website, plus a grandmother bear too.
Make reservations soon and enjoy your day with mom.

Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. He or she will usually make an initial diagnosis of GERD based on your symptoms. In some cases, other tests will be done to confirm the diagnosis or exclude other disorders.
These tests may include:
Upper GI Series
– A series of x-rays of the upper digestive system are taken after drinking a barium solution.
24-hour pH Monitoring
– A probe is placed in the esophagus to keep track of the level of acidity in the lower esophagus. This is done over a 24-hour period.
– This test measures muscle pressures in the lower esophagus.
– A thin, lighted tube with a tiny camera attached is passed down the throat to examine the esophagus and stomach.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
– A small sample of tissue from the esophagus is removed. It is then studied to check for inflammation, cancer, or other problems.

3M ScotchPad™ Packaging & Protection Tape Pads have all the benefits of a roll of tape, but in convenient, easy-to-use, pre-cut strips on a pad. The perfect way to seal envelopes and small packages, protect labels and packing lists, and improve productivity around the office and in the mailroom. They are a pre-cut pad formed with layered, high performance tape sheets featuring durable 3M Scotchpro™ film backing that is strong, conformable, and resistant to impact shock. It is ideal for protecting labels, sealing envelopes and small packages, recouperage repair and for miscellaneous packaging applications. They are purchasable by the individual pad. For the 2 inch x 6 inch size 25 sheets or strips come on a pad. The strips themselves have a biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) backing which resists edge tearing, splitting, abrasion, moisture, and scuffing for longer life. The tape is coated with an aggressive adhesive to provide excellent holding power to many surfaces. Each strip also features a removable paper tab for handling ease and dispensing. It provides for a portable, dispenserless application and is convenient and space-saving.
(1 to 39 pads)
(40 to 119 pads)
(120 to 199 pads)
(>= 200 pads)
* see individual pad price to left
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

Midwest Living Review
Once known as a 'tobacco capital' and an important steamboat stop along the Missouri River (the river changed course in 1881), Weston celebrates its heritage across 22 city blocks that were placed on The National Register of Historic Places, in 1972. Beautifully refurbished and historically faithful brick and painted facades line Main Street and the town boasts more than 100+ pre-Civil War buildings. Weston has also created a self-guided Historic Sites Tour, with nearly 100 stops, from dozens of historic mansions to the legendary McCormick Distillery and 1847 Holy Trinity Catholic Church. Today, most shops open from Thursday or Friday through Sunday, when streets bustle with enthusiastic customers. There's a distinct western flare to many shops, but you'll also find vintage cameras and blingy purses, in addition to several art studios. In addition to McCormick, Weston is the hometown of Pirtle Winery and Weston Brewing Company, founded in 1842. Savor brunch in an 1848 'white lace' cottage or a custom-flavored malt at an old-fashioned soda fountain. Enjoy fresh breakfast pastries at The Saint George Hotel or a full morning meal at one of several bed and breakfast establishments. This small town offers plenty of opportunities for staying busy, while local museums provide historical context for the rise and fall - and rising again - of Weston.

Keyshia Cole Shares the Fate of Sister Neffe on 'Family First' Reality Show

What Pele is to Santos, Uwe Seeler is to Hamburg or Alessandro del Piero is to Juventus, Wolfgang Overath is to Cologne. What unites these four is that they were all world-class players, and they all played out their careers primarily or exclusively for just one club – something very rare in modern football.
In the 1960s and '70s, Overath helped to write some of the most important chapters in West German football. The playmaker was one of the best midfielders in the world for over a decade, all the time embodying a certain German ideal.
His passion for football began in 1953, just a year before Germany won their first ever FIFA World Cup™. Overath was ten years old at the time, and joined his local club Siegburger. Nine years later, he found himself in Germany's top division and joining newly-minted league champions, Cologne.
"When the Bundesliga was founded in 1963, Cologne had the kind of status in Germany that Bayern Munich currently have," recalled Overath. "Back in those days, players in other clubs had to get changed in the car park, while we already had our Geissbockheim clubhouse."
In the first season that he was eligible to play, he, along with such players as Toni Schumacher and Hans Schefer, won the championship, while he also went on to win the DFB-Pokal on two occasions, in 1968 and '77.
Overath plied his trade with Die Geißböcke for 15 years, treating the fans to incredible skill on the ball and an eye for a perfectly-weighted pass. Indeed, after West Germany's 1954 hero Schafer retired, Overath was the heart and soul of the team from the banks of the Rhine, and though he received plenty of solicitations from other clubs at home and abroad, he remained true to the club until he hung up his boots.
Dazzling on the world stage
His prowess soon earned him a call-up for West Germany, and after he had made his debut at the age of 20, he was to remain a fixture in the side for many a year. He and Gunter Netzer were the lynchpins of the German midfield of the early 1970s, both of them capable of flighting a 60-yard pass, trapping a ball in mid-flight or tying an opposing defence in knots with mazy runs.
In 1966, '70 and '74, this 'No10 par excellence', as he was known, played all West Germany's matches at three World Cups. He ended his career having appeared in 19 matches in the competition, with 15 wins, one draw and three defeats. A tidy record by anyone's reckoning that saw him win the title in 1974, finish runner-up in '66 and third in '70.
Mexico was doubtless Overath's finest hour. Pundits at the tournament were in raptures at his ball skills, particular when he scored the only goal of the game in the third-place play-off against Uruguay.
"Overath has the grace of a prima ballerina, the staying power of an astronaut, the intelligence of an Einstein and the footballing qualities of… well, what is the greatest superlative we could possibly find? Yes, he has the footballing qualities of a Wolfgang Overath," said a Brazilian sports paper at the time.
Overath himself remembers the tournament in Latin America only too well. "For me, Mexico 1970 is the greatest World Cup there ever was," he said in an interview with Zeit magazine. "I rate it above the 1974 tournament, even though we obviously won that one on home soil. All the greats were there like Pele and Bobby Charlton. The quality of the football and the fantastic atmosphere in the stadiums were second to none."
The real high point of Overath's career nevertheless came four years later with the World Cup title secured on home soil. After 81 caps and 17 goals, he was part of the team which defeated the Netherlands in the Final in Munich's Olympiastadion – a fitting conclusion to his career on the international stage.
His domestic career came to a less auspicious end in 1977, however, when he hung up his boots aged just 33 after a dispute with club coach Hennes Weisweiler. "I look at it from a positive aspect," he said magnanimously.
"I'd never have managed to take that step or strike the right balance [about when to retire] otherwise," continued Overath, whose club career finished after 536 matches and 117 goals for Cologne. "Weisweiler was one of the best coaches of his day, but his one weakness was probably that he never managed to get on with on-the-pitch leaders."
He continued to follow the fortunes of his beloved Geißböcke, but it was not until 1991 that he finally accepted the club's offer to become a member of the board, a position he occupied until 1998. In 2004 he was then elected as club president and served for seven years. "FC Cologne has always been a love affair of mine," he said at the time. "It's an honorary position and it means that I can give something back to the club."
Helping others
Off the pitch Overath has also demonstrated a big heart, in particular with his sense of social commitment. In 1994 he founded the Overath Fund to provide people in need who had exhausted all legal means with quick, effective and unbureaucratic aid. He has also organised various matches featuring other former internationals to raise money for those in need.
"When I was younger, the only thing that I was aiming for was to be financially independent," he explained. "It was only when I reached my mid-40s that I thought to myself, 'This can't be all that your life is about'. And so I began to work on behalf of others.
"You can't possibly believe how satisfying it is when you are able to help someone who is in need. The only thing that I regret is that I never got around to doing it a lot earlier, but when you're younger, you're too taken up with yourself. I like being around people and it's exciting to get to know new people. I want to give back some of the enormous fortune that I've had in my life."
Overath's exemplary work saw him rewarded with honorary citizenship of the city of Siegburg and then in 2008, he was awarded the Order of Merit, first class, of the Federal Republic of Germany. Yet despite all of these activities on and off the pitch, he has never lost sight of what is most important to him: "Family always comes first for me," he said. "Always."

Savings Extender Tip: Buy Open Box Items from Newegg
Newegg: Check out the open boxed items
A lot of times when purchasing used items on online marketplaces like Craigslist or eBay, you don't know exactly what you're getting. Purchasing refurbished or open boxed items is typically very safe and comes with the manufacturer's original warranty. A lot of the times people realize the product isn't compatible with something they have, or they just don't want the product but have already opened it. This means most items are still in working condition, but you get to save by not buying new.
- Does your refurbished product include all necessary accessories like remote controls and power cords? If not, make sure the cost to purchase these separately does not negate your refurbished discount.
- If your refurbished product is missing the instruction manual, no worries, you can most likely download a free one from the manufacturer website.
- Newegg's items are open box, but some refurbished items previously had minor cosmetic damage or a defect. In any case, it is typically returned to the manufacturer and restored to like-new condition. Just make sure you know why a product is refurbished and that you are comfortable with it. A product under warranty and eligible for returns gives added security.

I think Karlos Dansby is about to play at a pretty high level for a while. The problem is we're paying for it. He's making a lot of damn money. But, those are the breaks I guess. I don't think we're going to be discussing ditching Karlos in a year, even with his big price tag.
And yeah, I thought it was total BS how he showed up 25+ lbs overweight a year ago and still collected the leadership award. I agree with you. But that's in the past. If he doesn't do it again, I'm fine.
I agree this Draft seems like one we can use to address problem areas but one problem area I think still needs addressing despite the 3rd round pick in Olivier Vernon is defensive end, and next year's class should be a banner year for that position. They really need to partake in that class and work on getting BIG, MEATY and EXPLOSIVE defensive ends that they can put on the field in any situation and beat people one-on-one.
I'm a big fan of Bjoern Werner, but I also love guys like James Gayle, Dion Jordan, Cornellius Carradine and Malliciah Goodman. Get one. Maybe get two. With the kind of defense the Dolphins are running, they need to revamp the unit and fill it with the type of 6'4" to 6'5" and 255-275 lbs guys that you see on the Giants. There will still be plenty of room for Cam Wake and Olivier Vernon.
Aside from that obviously they also need an influx of wide receiver talent. They may decide to address that issue in free agency with someone like Dwayne Bowe, but also maybe not.
Twitter: @ckparrot
I hope Vernon shows well this year...but I agree on adding another DE or two. I would be looking for an impact DE in the 1st or 2nd, and then maybe another in the 4th or so. Count me on the Mingo bandwagon at this point. Obviously this next year will tell a lot, but Mingo is just electric. He doesn't have ideal strength yet, but he can work on that. He could easily be a 3rd down rusher to start, which would allow someone like Vernon to slide inside on 3rd down where he and Odrick could create a pretty impressive interior rush IMO..along with Starks in the rotation if he is still around. We could also be in the market for a starting CB depending on how Smith plays this year and what kind of money he wants.
I'd rather start populating the DL with some big, lengthy and explosive pass rushers...guys like I just named, Dion Jordan, Bjoern Werner, Cornellius Carradine, James Gayle, maybe Malliciah Goodman.
So with that said I would be happy as a pig in **** if Miami used a higher round pick next offseason on a high potential safety. So let me ask who off those lists are earmarked for round 1, 2 etc...my travel plans seem to be changing as I type so now my November is likely to be shot but at least I get to see College and the NFL seasons kick off. I'll take it!
"Frank's Redhot - I Put That **** On Everything!" ~ Ethel
Don't get me wrong though, if we walk away with a guy like Gayle or Werner I will not be upset at all.
