Q=J/((P/4)D2 Lt)
(1) Field of the Invention:
The present invention relates to a process for fusion-bonding a resin to a paper.
(2) Description of the Prior Art:
Heating methods customarily used for thermally softening or fusion-bonding resins include a heat transfer heating method in which a resin is caused to fall in contact with a heat source and a non-contact heating method in which a resin is not caused to fall in contact with a heat source but is heated by, for example, ultrasonic heating or high frequency heating. These methods have merits and demerits and an appropriate method is selected according to the intended use and object.
For example, when even a slight contamination is not desired, the contact method is not preferred, but this method is advantageous in that the equipment is relatively small in size and is simple in structure. The non-contact ultrasonic or high frequency heating method is advantageous in that a resin is not contaminated at all, but is disadvantageous in that the size of the heating apparatus is large and the maintenance thereof is very troublesome.
An object of the present invention is to provide a process for fusion-bonding of resins in which a powdery or filmy resin is heated and softened by a novel heating method quite different from the conventional heating methods and the softened resin is fusion-bonded to a paper or plastic plate. The process of the present invention is characterized in that a flash discharge lamp having a small heat capacity and being capable of generating heat instantaneously when required is used as a heat source and the energy emission density represented by the following formula:
Q=J/(P/4D2 Lt)
wherein Q stands for the energy emission density (joule/cm3 ·msec ), J stands for an electric input energy (joule) necessary for irradiation of one sheet of the material to be heated, D stands for the inner diameter (cm) of the bulb of the flash discharge lamp, L stands for the flash discharge passage length (cm), t stands for the pulse width (msec) corresponding to 1/3of the peak value of the electric current wave form, and P stands for the circumference ratio,
is controlled so as to fusion-bond the resin sufficiently to the paper as the substrate without deterioration of the paper as the substrate, by changing the electric input supplied to the heat source per unit time per unit volume.
Other objects and features of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description made with reference to the accompanying drawing.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the method in which a resin is fusion-bonded to a paper by flashes of a flash discharge lamp.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a flash discharge lamp and a power source circuit.
FIG. 3 is a curve showing the light absorption of a white paper.
FIG. 1 illustrates the state where a resin film 2 is fusion-bonded to a paper 1 by using a flash discharge lamp 4 including a mirror 3 disposed adjacently thereto. FIG. 2 illustrates an instance of the structure of the flash discharge lamp 4 and a power source circuit therefor. Referring to FIG. 2, both the ends of a glass bulb 5 are air-tightly sealed by metal caps 6. Reference numerals 7 and 8 represent a cathode and an anode, respectively, and reference symbols L and D represent the flash discharge passage length and the inner diameter of the bulb 5, respectively. The power source circuit for causing emission in the flash discharge lamp 4 comprises a charging resistor R, a discharging capacitor C, a high voltage generator HV, a trigger switch SW, and a trigger electrode 9 connected to this high voltage generator HV.
Emission is caused in the flash discharge lamp 4 in the following manner.
Namely, the trigger switch SW is closed to give a high electric field to the flash discharge lamp 4 and ionize a filled gas contained between the cathode and anode. Thus, the charge of the discharging capacitor C is discharged through between the cathode and anode to cause emission in the flash discharge lamp 4.
In the present invention, the so generated flash is utilized as a heat energy. Since a paper or resin has peculiar properties to the light, even if the flash is radiated according to the method illustrated in FIG. 1, the resin film is not always fusion-bonded to the paper in a good state. More specifically, a resin has ordinarily a good permeability to ultraviolet rays, visible rays and infrared rays, and therefore, even if a flash is radiated to a resin, the temperature cannot be elevated to a level sufficient to enable fusion-bonding of the resin.
Accordingly, in the presence of the present invention, it is important that a heat absorbing agent capable of absorbing heat should be incorporated in advance into a resin to be fusion-bonded or the resin should be coated in advance with the heat absorbing agent.
Samples of the resin and paper used at the fundamental tests leading to the present invention were prepared, for example, in the following manner.
A powder mixture formed by mixing a polyethylene powder having a size of about 3 microns homogeneously with a carbon powder having a size of about 1 micron at a volume ratio of about 0.8/1 was applied in the form of a layer having a thickness of 10 to 50 microns on a commercially available blue plotting paper. When the particle size is small, the non-uniformity of the thickness of the resin layer is naturally small, but when the particle size is as large as about 100 microns, the thickness of the resin layer is non-uniform more or less. In such case, if the resin is fusion-bonded to a broad area, a defect of uneven thickness is brought about, but if the fusion-bonding area is about 50 cm×about 50 cm, the effect of the present invention is not substantially influenced even in such case.
When such sample is employed, the resin can be fusion-bonded to the blue plotting paper by the emission energy of the flash discharge lamp 4. For example, the resin can be fusion-bonded to the blue plotting paper in a good state if emission is conducted under such conditions that the discharge passage length L is 26 cm, the inner diameter D of the bulb is 8 mm, the amount filled of xenon gas is 200 mmHg, the energy emission density is 20.4, the electric input J is 800 joules and the value t is 3 msec. Various flash lamps were prepared by filling rare gases such as xenon and mixed gases in glass bulbs having an inner diameter larger than 3 mm and a discharge passage length longer than 5 cm, and by using these flash lamps, fusion-bonding tests were carried out under different energy emission density values Q in the range of from 0.1 to 1000. As a result, it was found that the blue plotting paper was often scorched or discolored, and that this undesirable phenomenon took place when the energy emission density of the flash discharge lamp was too high or too low. Therefore, further investigations were made on this point. It was found that when the value Q was smaller than 1, a long time was required for completion of fusion-bonding and that if flashing was repeated many times until fusion-bonding was completed, white portions of the plotting paper were discolored. It also was found that if the value Q was larger than 600, fusion-bonding was completed in a short time but white portions of the plotting paper was simultaneously discolored. Thus, it was confirmed that in order to fusion-bond a resin to a paper by flash from a flash discharge lamp without discoloration of the paper, it is necessary to control the value Q of the emission of the flash discharge lamp within the range of from 1 to 600 (1≦Q≦600).
When the light absorption of a white paper is examined, it is seen that as shown in FIG. 3, when the wave length is shorter than 0.4 micron, the light absorption is abruptly increased and when the wave length is longer than 0.8 micron, the light absorption is gradually increased. In case of flash emission, if the proportion of ultraviolet rays or the proportion of infrared rays is too large, paper per se absorbs the flash very well and the temperature of the paper is increased, and therefore, it is estimated that the paper is readily discolored by scorching in such case.
When spectrum characteristics corresponding to the cases of Q<1, 1≦Q≦600 and Q>600 are examined, it is seen that in case of Q<1, the radiation energy of the wave length region exceeding 0.8 micron occupies more than about 28% of the total radiation energy and in case of Q>600, the radiation energy of the wave length region below 0.4 micron occupies more than 33% of the total radiation energy. Also in view of this fact, it will readily be understood that the case of Q<1 or Q>600 is not preferred.
As will be apparent from the foregoing illustration, in the present invention, there is adopted a novel heating method utilizing the emission energy of a flash discharge lamp, which is quite different from the conventional heating methods, and a powdery or filmy resin is fusion-bonded to a paper by utilizing this novel heating method, and from the viewpoints of peculiar properties of the paper and resin, the energy emission density Q of the flash emission of the flash discharge lamp is controlled in the range of 1≦Q≦600, whereby fusion-bonding can be performed effectively and advantageously.
It is preferred that the melting point of the resin that is used in the present invention be within the range of from 40° C. to 300° C.
The prominent merit of the non-contact heating method, that is, the merit that the resin is not contaminated, can be attained in the present invention. Moreover, since the heat source used in the present invention comprises a flash discharge lamp, a mirror disposed adjacently thereto and a power source circuit, the heat source can be maintained, handled and controlled very easily. Accordingly, the process of the present invention has a high practical value.
The process of the present invention can be advantageously applied to preparation of laminate papers comprising a paper and a resin coating or fusion fixation of toners to copying sheets in an electrophotographic copying machine.

Rooted in Louisville's fertile noise-rock soil, Young Widows delivers raucous dirges with barely- contained precision. The trio's latest LP, In and Out of Youth and Lightness (out via Temporary Residence Ltd.), saw Young Widows channel its aggression inward, refining the bluesy riffs and warped sound established on the group's earliest outings. This one guarantees a night of ear-pummeling abuse. And Liverhearts are supporting the group throughout a brief Southeastern tour, ensuring that no amp will be left intact.

Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. has begun expanding the franchise program for the fast-casual R Taco concept in which it invested in 2014, the company said Wednesday.
The 11-unit R Taco, which in September changed its name from Rusty Taco, has street-style taco locations in Dallas, Denver and Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn. A new location will open in Omaha, Neb., in March, the company said.
Minneapolis-based Buffalo Wild Wings made a majority investment in the then-nine-unit Rusty Taco Inc. in August 2014.
"As we've spent time learning the R Taco business," said Tom Berzinski, a Buffalo Wild Wings vice president and R Taco managing director, in a statement, "we see an opportunity to grow the company with partners who share our enthusiasm for the brand and want to bring this fresh and fun restaurant to more people in new markets."
The company said it was focusing its development search in the areas of:
Austin, Houston and San Antonio, Texas; Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla.; St. Louis; and Des Moines, Iowa. Buffalo Wild Wings said it was planning to expand its corporate-owned restaurant locations as well.
The concept started in Dallas in 2010 as Rusty Taco and was named for co-founder Rusty Fenton.
Steve Dunn, the other co-founder and now CEO of R Taco, said, "As founder Rusty Fenton always said, 'Tacos are the most important meal of the day,' and we believe providing guests with the freshest ingredients and authentic tasting street-style tacos at an affordable price in a friendly and fun atmosphere is a concept that works well regardless of geography."
The company said typical R Taco locations cover 1,800 to 2,500 square feet and are in free-standing buildings, end caps or urban storefronts. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner dayparts as well as craft beers and margaritas.
Buffalo Wild Wings also has a minority investment in Los Angeles-based PizzaRev, a fast-casual pizza chain.
Buffalo Wild Wings has 1,160 casual-dining locations.

Wait, who do the Dems want to lock up?
Well, that was interesting. Democrats began their political convention booing the name "Hillary," heckling Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and shedding tears over Sen. Bernie Sanders' failed campaign.
In lieu of the recent wave of international Islamic terrorism that has swept the globe, Rev. Franklin Graham expressed that even though a great majority of Muslims practicing Islam in the United States do not agree with Muslim acts of violence, he is terrified by the eight percent of Muslim Americans who justify Islamic terrorism.
Coptic Christians in Egypt continue to face intense persecution.
If the presidential candidates of either political party are looking for an issue to unite the country, they might look to support the persecuted church.
A conference intended to bridge the gap between the American church's efforts to help and knowledge of the needs of the persecuted living in some of the world's most oppressive countries was a success, according to organizers.
The Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization has just released a hit list that includes 1,700 Americans — including Christian churchgoers and Jewish worshippers — individuals who the militants label as modern-day "crusaders."
The communist government of China's Zhejiang Province is enforcing a new law that demands numerous churches to turn over all of their tithes and donations to state authorities.
An annual report out of Europe finds that significant restrictions in place around the world target religious minorities, especially Christians – and it references the near extinction of Christians in Syria and Iraq.
Human rights campaigners are expressing more and more concern over a proposed anti-terrorism law in Russia that would significantly affect the ability of Christians to share their faith.

Stayed here for 3 nights. Staff is quite helpful. Hotel is very central 5 minutes walk from the Gran Via Metro station. Very near to all main attractions and in between the Royal Palace and the Bank of Spain. The room (320) was small and very basic, however has a toilet with shower, air conditioning and TV with radio channels. If staying in Madrid for a short period of time, this place is good value for money as you just go there to sleep. It could be classified as a 2** hotel rather than 3***.
The rooms facing the back courtyard are not noisy. The only bit of noise is when people try to leave the hotel early in the morning.

I am related to the Ipswitch witches! I had no idea until a few weeks ago.
It was all political. My ancestresses were accused because their husbands were independent thinkers and sassed the Puritan ministers some years earlier. But now these women were widows without the same protection. One grandmother was thrown in jail, soon to be joined by her daughter ... And 15 year old grand daughter.

@ Leona Scott: Rebecca Towne has also been listed as an ancestor of mine on my mother's side. She was the first witch to be executed & found guilty. I am also related to Sarah Towne Cloyce wo was not indicted by the grand jury. Therefore, @ Robert Stanley Martin, I am most likely related to you as well, as the two witches that were twins and the first to be executed Rebecca Towne Nurse & Sarah Towne Cloyce were descendants of my mother!

@ Patricia & Kathleen Callanan: I guess we must be cousins or something as I was related on my mother's side to the Towne's. The 1st two witches that were executed, Rebecca Nurse & Sarah Towne Cloyce were here long distant cousins. it obviously was many moons ago in 1620. It happened @ Gallows Hill in Salem, and I live rt. near Salem in Beverly, Mass. I've been rt. where the burials were @ Gallows Hill or Winter Hill as it is also called as well as Pioneer Village in Salem. Now you have to be a resident of Salem to go there. My sister used to live in Salem, so I could get in w/her & the kids when they were small. They're all teenagers now. My nephew Corey is in the Navy and has been since he grad. from H.S. 4 yrs. ago! My mom's been gone since 1972. She died @ the young age of only 52 and her mother was only 42 when she died. My mother had a heart attack!

AbstractThe proposed biosensor will combine the selectivity of immobilized oligonucleotideprobes and the rapid and efficient collection capability of porous silicon membraneswith the mass sensitivity (picogram) of ultrasonic microelectronic devices. TPL hasdemonstrated methods to form funtionalized porous membranes for selective bindingof target oligonucleotides. The proposed device array will open unique opportunitiesfor real-time detection of nucleic acids and associated protein regulation. It isa direct measurement approach that does not require labeled or amplified DNA, andhybridization reaction rates are accelerated by improved mass transport afforded bysolution flow through the sensor. TPL, in collaboration with the Molecular DiagnosticsCore Laboratory (MDCL), University of New Mexico, has already demonstrated fabricationand functionality of individual porous membranes. Phase II multi-site membrane will befuntionalized and interrogated using a sequential, laser-coupled untrasonic system. Theresult will be a multi-site DNA sensing platform with sufficient sensitivity to avoid DNAamplification. TPL's experience in acoustic sensor design, which lead to Porotec, a thinfilm porosity analyzer employing acoustic wave transmission, combined with MDCL'sexpertise in clinical diagnostics by DNA sequencing will support development of porousmicrosensors for isolation and detection of DNA/mRNA sequences.

What is the best/fastest way to upload a csv file into a mysql table? I would like for the first row of data be used as the column names.
Found this:
How to import CSV file to MySQL table
But the only answer was to use a GUI and not shell?
Instead of writing a script to pull in information from a CSV file, you can link MYSQL directly to it and upload the information using the following SQL syntax.
To import an Excel file into MySQL, first export it as a CSV file. Remove the CSV headers from the generated CSV file along with empty data that Excel may have put at the end of the CSV file.
You can then import it into a MySQL table by running:
as read on: Import CSV file directly into MySQL
For your case, you'll need to write an interpreter first, for finding the first row, and assigning them as column names.
From MySQL docs on
Therefore, you can use the following statement:
I had this same problem a while back and wrote a command line PHP script to do it:
It will create a table based on the first row and import the remaining rows into it. Here is the command line syntax:
if you have the ability to install phpadmin there is a import section where you can import csv files to your database there is even a checkbox to set the header to the first line of the file contains the table column names (if this is unchecked, the first line will become part of the data
If you start mysql as "mysql -u -p --local-infile ", it will work fine
To load data from text file or csv file the command is
In above command, in my case there is only one column to be loaded so there is no "terminated by" and "enclosed by" so I kept it empty else programmer can enter the separating character . for e.g . ,(comma) or " or ; or any thing.
**for people who are using mysql version 5 and above **
Before loading the file into mysql must ensure that below tow line are added in side
to edit my.cnf command is
I wrestled with this for some time. The problem lies not in how to load the data, but how to construct the table to hold it. You must generate a DDL statement to build the table before importing the data.
Particularly difficult if the table has a large number of columns.
Here's a python script that (almost) does the job:
The problem it leaves to solve is that the final field name and data type declaration is terminated with a comma, and the mySQL parser won't tolerate that.
Of course it also has the problem that it uses the TEXT data type for every field. If the table has several hundred columns, then VARCHAR(64) will make the table too large.
This also seems to break at the maximum column count for mySQL. That's when it's time to move to Hive or HBase if you are able.
First create a table in the database with same numbers of columns that are in the csv file.
Then use following query
Here's how I did it in Python using csv and the MySQL Connector:
Key points
Import CSV Files into mysql table
visits : http://www.webslessons.com/2014/02/import-csv-files-using-php-and-mysql.html
As others have mentioned, the load data local infile works just fine. I tried the php script that Hawkee posted, but didnt work for me. Rather than debug it, here's what i did:
1) copy/paste the header row of the CSV file into a txt file and edit with emacs. add a comma and CR between each field to get each on on it's own line.
Sounds like a lot of work, but easy with emacs.....
I have google search many ways to import csv to mysql, include " load data infile ", use mysql workbench, etc.
when I use mysql workbench import button, first you need to create the empty table on your own, set each column type on your own. Note: you have to add ID column at the end as primary key and not null and auto_increment, otherwise, the import button will not visible at later. However, when I start load CSV file, nothing loaded, seems like a bug. I give up.
Lucky, the best easy way so far I found is to use Oracle's mysql for excel. you can download it from here mysql for excel
This is what you are going to do: open csv file in excel, at Data tab, find mysql for excel button
select all data, click export to mysql. Note to set a ID column as primary key.
when finished, go to mysql workbench to alter the table, such as currency type should be decimal(19,4) for large amount decimal(10,2) for regular use. other field type may be set to varchar(255).
OAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'd:\Site.csv' INTO TABLE
Character Escape Sequence \0 An ASCII NUL (0x00) character \b A backspace character \n A newline (linefeed) character \r A carriage return character \t A tab character. \Z ASCII 26 (Control+Z) \N NULL

Planar chromatography (PC) like any other chromatographic technique is a multistage distribution process. It is a form of liquid chromatography in which the stationary phase is supported on a planar surface rather than a column. Separations in PC occur because of differential migration velocities through the sorbent layer in a fixed separation time. The sample zones are fixed in space at the completion of the separation, allowing off-line monitoring. There are two planar techniques: paper chromatography and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). In recent years, TLC has superseded paper chromatography owing to greater speed, versatility, and reproducibility. Improvements in techniques and equipment as well as the ready availability of high-quality plates with uniform layers have extended and increased the use of TLC in clinical chemistry and other disciplines, offering quantitative as well as qualitative analysis. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), in particular, has developed to the extent that separation and quantitation can provide results that are comparable with other analytical methods such as high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The widespread application of TLC is also due to the fact that it is simple, robust, and flexible, and has a large sample throughput. Furthermore, coupled spectroscopic methods (TLC/mass spectrometry (TLC/MS), TLC/Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (TLC/FTIR) etc.) have considerably enhanced the reproducibility of TLC.
TLC is often critically compared with column chromatography such as HPLC. This is a matter of endless dispute. Each technique has its own advantages and limitations. TLC is only inexpensive when qualitative results are needed. When reliable quantitative data are required, TLC is as expensive as column chromatography. In the authors' opinion, complementary rather than competitive chromatography offers the best solution to analytical requirements.

Soft Computing for Hybrid Intelligent Systems / Edition 1by Oscar Castillo
Pub. Date: 09/28/2008
Publisher: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
We describe in this book, new methods and applications of hybrid intelligent systems using soft computing techniques. Soft Computing (SC) consists of several intelligent computing paradigms, including fuzzy logic, neural networks, and evolutionary al- rithms, which can be used to produce powerful hybrid intelligent systems. The book is organized in five main parts, which contain a group of papers around a similar subject. The first part consists of papers with the main theme of intelligent control, which are basically papers that use hybrid systems to solve particular problems of control. The second part contains papers with the main theme of pattern recognition, which are basically papers using soft computing techniques for achieving pattern recognition in different applications. The third part contains papers with the themes of intelligent agents and social systems, which are papers that apply the ideas of agents and social behavior to solve real-world problems. The fourth part contains papers that deal with the hardware implementation of intelligent systems for solving particular problems. The fifth part contains papers that deal with modeling, simulation and optimization for real-world applications.

Make Note:
The Lincoln color code can be located in the driver side door jamb. It is two digits long and consists of numbers and/or letters. Click here for Lincoln paint code image examples.
Did you choose the wrong model? How about the 1994 Lincoln Continental, or Mark VIII? If you're still not sure, take a look at our All 1994 Lincoln Models page. Or, just go to our page dedicated to Lincoln Touch Up Paint
As usual I am very pleased with the color match when I touched up my Lincoln Mark VIII. I have purchased several cans of the aerosol spray paint over the past few years and all of them have lived up to the stated expected results. My son and I have several cars and a variety of colors, and each color I have ordered has proven very satisfactory. I have saved a lot of money by doing the touch up work myself and the cost of the paint is more than covered by performing the work myself.
Great product,coverage good, match was good on 22 year old car.
Will order more in the future.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 255 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by JRP04 OK with the right expectations My first stay at an Aloft and it caught me off guard. The lobby was a little too "hip" for my style but that's a preference. The rooms are very European in style and size which made it tight and sparse on comforts, e.g. the beds were not very comfortable. I'm not too familiar with the Minneapolis area but it seemed the only thing within walking distance was the Metrodome. April 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Pete14 This hotel is starting to show lack of care. I unpacked my bag and starting to relax in my room only to find out the heater didn't work for the second visit in a row. I ended up moving rooms the week. Next, the fitness TV's haven't worked correctly for months. Now one of the bikes have been broken for weeks. Day two, no ear buds and that has happened in the past three months. Please care as you have in the past Adam! April 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JonathanTravelConnoisseur Aloft o.k. stay Unique warehouse conversion, modernist style with a hip-happening vibe in lobby and bowling alley style check in area. I had to argue that I was Platinum status showing them my spg card, as the young lady showed me her computer screen which said gold. And all that fuss for a $10 voucher for breakfast --for 2 persons. Hmmm. There was a low battery beeping notice in our room all night that we couldn't identify. Annoying. Otherwise, a nice big room with nice amenities. March 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by robbo Great Customer Service but... The staff was very friendly and made me feel welcomed. I stay at alofts due to the friendly, non stuffy, staff atmosphere. The room and hotel was very clean and inviting. The only negative I have and this is a big negative is that the water pressure was extremely low in the shower. When I raised this at the front desk it was "oh yeah we have heard that before".... I will not be back due to this. March 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pete14 I enjoy the Aloft in Minneapolis Great hotel, great people, great location. Please fix the TV's on the treadmills! March 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jbcreative Above & beyond: Recognize this great Aloft team there are several businesses where the leadership is not that important... hotels are not one of them. I want to call out the general manager for his outstanding leadership & staff selection at this is Aloft hotel: the entire crew is genuinely friendly and cheery from the front desk to the housekeeping staff. above and beyond recognition must come to Michael at the front desk who went out of his way to make our stay absolutely perfect. Starwood: if you give out bonuses for exceptional performance, if he doesn't get one, nobody should. I am not easily impressed & have written far too many letters to hotel management reading the riot act for not understanding the business of hospitality. in the case of this recent stay, only commendations are in order. and if Michael goes unnoticed I'm inclined to write him a bonus check out of my own pocket in the interest of preserving what a great Hotel stay is supposed to encompass. I remain in awe that Aloft Mpls contines to put out a Cat 7 experience despite its midmarket position and rates that are fair enough to set a guest's expectations down several rungs. it's a shame that I can't mention other hotels by name here, because I would easily compare this aloft to many of the Platinum giants ive enjoyed in San Francisco, NYC, Paris and even London. Well done. The hospitality business is tough & screwups are the rule, not the exception. Starwood should send the other GM's here to try and extract whatever magic this spot holds. March 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GuthrieGoer Great Guthrie Deal I stayed at the Aloft because it is a block from the Guthrie where I attended a workshop and a performance. I parked my car in the Guthrie ramp, a municipal ramp that has a people entrance right across from the hotel (cars enter the ramp across the street from the Guthrie). For $15 at check-in I got a 24 hour in and out pass for the ramp. Perfect! I got a pizza from Sarpino's delivered to my door in a half hour. In the morning I purchased a $5 egg/cheese/ham English muffin in the lobby and enjoyed it with the coffee provided in my room. These conveniences fit my busy schedule. The room was very clean. Especially nice was a box on the room desk that had electrical outlets for personal electronic devices as well as input jacks to connect devices to the room's large TV. Check-in was pleasant and the staff was friendly. I would stay again at the Aloft. March 10, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by PMD5 Not up to W standards This hotel was acceptable - but no more, and far less than what a hotel in the W family should be. Though everything was stylish, nothing was high quality. The room was quite small, the iron seemed to have been a Target castoff, the ironing board was miniature and un-padded, the closet was just an entertainment cabinet with a curtain over it, the shower was cramped with low pressure, and the window shades barely came down. I am an SPG platinum member, and one of the benefits offered was free breakfast, but by 9:00am there was no breakfast left and only lunch wraps were available. The tables to eat at are either wobbly, too low for anyone over 5'6", or couches (which looks fun and lounge-y, but makes it tough to eat). The staff was nice and helpful, but they were not working with much. I would recommend anyone traveling to this area go to one of the established quality SPG hotels and not Aloft. March 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pete14 I enjoy the Minneapolis Aloft Great core staff and very clean room. Nice to see the towel and trash are labeled correctly in the fitness area. It was also nice to see and use the ear buds in the fitness area. March 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SPG111111 Good, with reservations Room was very clean, and the bar/lobby area was fun and had a nice aura to it. Nice selection of food available. Good Happy Hour menu. Friendly service. Two major issues affecting this review: -Very spotty Wifi in my room (#221). While sitting at the desk, the Wifi was constantly going off and on. When I called the front desk to report it, I was told that "welllll, no other guest is reporting this, I'm not sure what's wrong" with no offers for a solution. I ended up having to sit on the bed instead of the desk to work, and even then had problems with the Wifi sporadically disconnecting. -The heater is insanely loud. I wasn't able to sleep well because every time it turned on, it would jar me awake. I'd seen similar comments on a review on TripAdvisor. February 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jbcreative Aloft Minneapolis: 4-star hospitality at 2-star rates I stay in a lot of hotels, and have visited every brand in the Starwood collection... even though I typically go to a property higher on the category ladder, this Aloft has always surprised and delighted me with a consistency of excellence unmatched by hotels who charge double or even triple the room rate offered by Aloft. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and eager to help; the rooms are spotless and efficiently comfortable; and most importantly (to me), as a 14-year SPG member, the staff here actually make me feel like a preferred guest. One of my least-favorite activities at other Starwood hotels is (1) having to explain to staff what benefits are afforded at my SPG level, and (2) having to beg on bended knee when asking for one of the SPG member benefits my loyalty has earned; it's hard to stay loyal after finally extracting said perk from hotel staff who act as though extending these benefits is an act of charity bestowed to a nuicance freeloader. Fortunately, this Aloft has always extended member benefits without making me beg or even ask; in most cases, each 4pm checkout or other perk is cheerfully offered before I have to ask, and it's a nice touch when the Aloft staff thanks me for my continued loyalty & sincerely asks me to contact the front desk immediately if any aspect of my stay fails to meet my expectations. Bravo, Aloft! I'll be back... February 20, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Pete14 Great location and great price. Staff is not customer focused as a whole at the front desk. I have been coming to Aloft Minneapolis for almost a year. Both Brian's at the front desk do a great job. Matter of fact, Brian (shorter one now working more at the W) was fantastic and made me feel welcomed. Rachel the bartender also is fantastic and takes care of customers well. The newer staff and the woman working the front desk on the night shift need more training. Also, please fix the TV on the treadmill that has static and has had it for months. Fitness equipment is critical to my stay as well. February 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SAMIAM Awesome! Aloft was Awesome! From the moment you walk in - it's hip AND comfortable. Not cold - but warm and welcoming. The location was great and the staff fantastic. We loved our stay so much - we stayed an extra night! Thank you! February 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rose27 Don't Want to Leave! Such a comfy hotel - in the room & the 'lobby' area! Staff excellent to work with - I asked for a room facing the city and was provided with an excellent view of downtown! We ended up staying a second night due to the weather and we were able to stay in the same room, and were also awarded the extra points for not getting housekeeping while we were here. The staff 'Anne' also informed me about the SPG awards, and even though we booked through a travel agency we were able to collect points through the hotel - which gives me an even greater incentive to stay! The rooms are super cute, not very roomy, but comfortable and a nice layout, could use an extra desk chair in the room or some other form of seating, but overall I am impressed. The pool area is clean, always has some sort of fun song on and has a hot tub and a nice sized pool to swim in. Bottom line: I would def stay here again! February 11, 2013

Rated 2 out of 5 by Scovi Dirty fridge...Guest Priority=fail Well, during my arrival I was very shocked with the professionalism of the Front desk clerk. Who was very memorable, I believe her name was Abby? She was exceptional and made me and my wife feel welcome! However, when I went to the room, the fridge was dirty; a left over Sappinos box left behind from Gary the previous guest. It reeked of garlic...to say the least! I immediately called down to the front desk she offered for a houseman to come clean it; but my wife was taking a shower so therefore, that was out of the question---We just didn't use the fridge. The vanity was dirty, I just cleaned it myself of course! The next morning I had a business meeting and I called down and told Brian to set a wake up call for 12pm--Requested a late checkout front he previous night but just wanted to double check my secured wake up! Well Brian never called...I over slept and had to reschedule a meeting, I was totally embarrassed having to make that call! I cancelled my future arrival Feb7th-9th- If I'm going to pay almost $165 a night, these minor errors shouldn't occur. But I understand no one is perfect therefore I didn't give no one a hard time! February 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by wildkona Aloft is modern but feels cheap I like the look of this place but I feel alot of things were done cheap, like out of an ikea ad. The door on the bathroom wouldn't close all the way, the lighting in the room is dim. January 29, 2013

Rated 1 out of 5 by BadHotelDesign COLD SHOWERS I have stayed at this hotel a handful of times when I come in for business. In the past I have been relatively satisfied. The staff have been friendly, the room clean and the location is great for access to the 35W. This time they dropped the ball BIG TIME. Arrived on a Saturday and took a shower upon arrival approx 4pm... Shower was luke warm when turned all the way to hot. Sat night, shower was again luke warm. Sunday morning. Barely warm. I spoke with the gentleman on staff that Sunday and expressed my concerns about the water temperature and the pressure. Pressure is limited he informed me but the limiter can be removed upon request. As for the hot water he told me he would have the "house engineer" look into it. I never received any follow up... Monday, Luke warm again. Tuesday was the final straw, the water was COLD at 7:20am. What a piss off. Waking up to take a cold shower. Spoke with the gentleman (different person) at the front desk and he was very apologetic and offered a free coffee etc. He also said he would escalate the concern to his GM and asked me to check back with the front desk when I returned after work for an update. Of course when I returned at the end of the day there was no new information or update for me. Rather I was told the same lame excuse of "Well sometimes when it's really cold out..." C'mon people it was above freezing outside!! THIS IS MINNESOTA. Needless to say this hotel has many design flaws. from hot water issues to noisy mini fridges and room climate control that cycles far too often. The mini fridge is an easy solution... Unplug it, the climate control is tolerable. But the lack of hot water is really just unacceptable. This is clearly a huge design flaw in the hotel. On top of that the staff should be on top of fixing the issue. They informed me that I was not the only guest experiencing this issue. Also, it's not the customer/guest's responsibility to seek a follow up to their complaint/concern. The staff should take it upon themselves to follow up with their guests and ensure that they have the best experience possible. Needless to say from now on I will stay at any one of the other great hotels in Minneapolis that value their customers January 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by mmmme The hotel was clean and modern but. I was not happy about the parking and lack of telling us the details. We stayed for two nights and the pass was good for one night, so I could not get out of the garage without paying them. We did not receive an explanation on how to use the parking pass and had issues with getting out. Also, we were to get a credit for not getting fresh towels and never got the credit.. January 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Harak room heat/cool unit Unit runs only on HIGH speed making it noisy and uncomfortably breezy. Thermostat on wall is placed right above unit and causes it to cycle every 20 seconds. Very difficult to sleep. Had to leave stat on continuous run. We had 3 rooms in our party and everyone was disappointed. Some draped bedspreads over the cabinet to keep unit quiet and some unplugged it and slept in the cold. Not in keeping with the quality and design standards exhibited in the rest of the complex. January 8, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Reindeer12 A blast! After the football game my friend and I put on blow-up reindeer costumes. Aloft guests in the lounge asked to have their picture taken with us - adults and children. Aloft allowed us to bring in a little Christmas cheer! December 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Lives up to it's name Everything was great! We loved the idea that they have a taxi service that will take you any where within a 5 mile radius and pick you up. Their staff was very helpful in locating places of interest and good places to eat. The only issue I had was their pillows were to mushy and I like blankets instead of a heavey comforter, but that is just my prefernce. The shower could have had more water pressure. All in all it is a great place to stay and we will go back. November 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Amazing Hotel was amazing. It was our first time staying at Aloft. Perfect location since we went to the Vikings game. Great view of downtown. Everyone was super nice. Only downside was the bed was really hard. We will stay here again. November 15, 2012

Since its publication in 1939, Virginia Lee Burton's Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel has delighted generations of children.

With the advent of more modernized shovels, however, Mary Anne is going to be sold for junk! Thanks to Mike's fierce loyalty to his friend, she is spared—and guaranteed a long-term job—when the intrepid duo digs a new town hall for the people of Popperville. Burton's winsome crayon drawings are unforgettable. A classic!

Best people carriers and MPVs
Multi Purpose Vehicles, or MPVs, are so called because they blend the ease of use of a car with some of the practicality normally associated with a much larger vehicle. In the UK, MPVs are also known as people carriers, while in America, the term 'minivan' is more common.
While it would be fair to say that early MPVs (which first started to appear in the 1980s) lived up to the 'van' part of their American name, in recent years MPVs have become better and better to drive and look at, without losing any of their essential practicality.
The modern MPV has a challenging remit to fulfil, with buyers wanting generous and flexible interior space, car-like driving characteristics and low running costs. MPV customers have also come to expect sleek looks in addition to this wide breadth of abilities. Despite this, many of the cars on our list have practical, van-like features such sliding rear doors to improve access, as well as a load capacity that (with all seats folded) is measured in thousands, rather than hundreds, of litres.
We've included traditional seven-seat MPVs like the Ford Galaxy in our list of the top 10 people carriers, as well as smaller, sleeker models like the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer. All of the cars we feature are available with economical diesel engines and each has a unique selling point – be it excellent handling, a cavernous boot, distinctive looks, or a combination of all these.
Many of the cars here allow you to fit three ISOFIX child seats in the second row of seats, and if this is an essential feature for you, our dedicated top 10 list of the best cars with three ISOFIX points should be your next port of call. If you simply must have seven seats, meanwhile, be sure to check out our top 10 list of the best seven-seater cars you can buy, while if you're after a practical car but want more rugged looks, make your way over to our rundown of the best SUVs and 4x4 cars on sale today.

I visited this hotel during summer, with my friends and it was the perfect choice for us, it was clean, the room
looked good enough, the people were very nice, the breakfast was ok if you are not pretentious.
It was a little bit far(10
min to the tram station - 15 min with the tram-2.8 euros/person) from
the Dam square, the tram worked until 12:00 in the night, once we had to take the taxi :26 euros from Dam square. For some young couples who took trips all day and all we needed was a place to sleep and shower, it was perfect!

LOS ANGELES Feb 7 U.S. television singing contest "The X Factor," led by judge and show creator Simon Cowell, was canceled on Friday after three seasons, network Fox said on Friday.
"The X Factor," which was unable to replicate the ratings success of fellow Fox singing contest "American Idol," was only able to muster 6.2 million viewers for its season three finale last December, about half of its first season finale audience.
Cowell, 54, whose acerbic on-screen personality helped transform "American Idol" into one of the top shows on U.S. television, will also return to the UK version of the show in an effort to help declining ratings there.
"I've had a fantastic time over the last 12 years, both on 'The X Factor' and 'American Idol,' Cowell said in a statement. "And apart from being lucky enough to find some amazing talent on the shows, I have always had an incredible welcome from the American public (most of the time!)"
"The X Factor" was seen as a way for Cowell to put his own stamp on U.S. reality television as it was a show he created and produced, and helped lead it to popularity in Britain.
The U.S. version of the show struggled to find the right mix on the judging panel, running through nine different personalities in its three seasons on the air.
In 2012, Fox spent a reported $15 million to hire pop singer Britney Spears as a judge on the show in a bid to boost ratings, but she was unable to turn her star power into larger audiences for Fox.
Last year, viewership fill to about 6 million per episode from 9 million in 2012. Its main rival, Comcast Corp-owned NBC's "The Voice" drew about 12 million viewers per episode.
Cowell, a British media and music mogul best known for the biting criticism of contestants that helped draw viewers to "American Idol," will be without a show on U.S. television for the first time since "Idol" began in 2002.

What is a 'Cup and Handle'
A pattern on bar charts resembling a cup with a handle. The cup is in the shape of a "U" and the handle has a slight downward drift. The right-hand side of the pattern has low trading volume. It can be as short as seven weeks and as long as 65 weeks.
As the stock comes up to test the old highs, the stock will incur selling pressure by the people who bought at or near the old high. This selling pressure will make the stock price trade sideways with a tendency towards a downtrend for four days to four weeks... then it takes off. Below is an example of a cup and handle chart pattern:
BREAKING DOWN 'Cup and Handle'
A couple points on trying to detect cup and handles: Length - Generally, cups with longer and more "U" shaped bottoms, the stronger the signal. Avoid cups with a sharp "V" bottoms. Depth - Ideally, the cup should not be too deep. Also, avoid handles which are too deep since the handles should form in the top half of the cup pattern. Volume - Volume should dry up on the decline and remain lower than average in the base of the bowl. It should then increase when the stock finally starts to make its move back up to test the old high. Retest (of old high) - doesn't have touch or come within a few ticks of old high. However, the further the top of the handle is away from the highs, the more significant the breakout needs to be.
