You begin in a bunker, presented with only a series of doors locked by an impossibly simple line puzzle. Finally freeing yourself of the darkness, you spill out into the glorious sunshine, awash in the Island's vibrantly chromatic landscape, only to find that still more of these mysterious line puzzles and locked doors surround you. You have no inventory, no guide, and you are completely alone. Where do you go from here?

Created for the International Love Ultimatum, Caught by a Lure is an unconventional examination of a condition most of us have experienced. With only a month to work, MakioKuta and Racheal created a short visual novel centered on the theme of romance. The approach they took is somewhat non-traditional. It isn't of the 'fairy-tale' variety many of us think of when imagining that subject. In fact rather than focusing on the joy of romance, the story asks an essential question:
Do you love me or the idea of loving me?
Your editors thought it would be a simple fluff piece when they assigned you to cover the purportedly "natural" death of a reclusive genius, enough that they sent you to his remote, lonely Kansas home even though you're sporting a broken arm. They're just looking for the gossip, convinced they can spin some sort of sordid affair with the deceased and his pretty young assistant, but you're convinced there's something more going on. Problem is, you're right. And not everyone appreciates your detective work. In Robot Invader's indie hybrid action/point-and-click adventure Dead Secret, you'll explore the scene of the crime, searching through the sprawling, isolated house for clues and learning more about the research that went on there. But... you're not alone. There's a killer after you, a relentless figure in a robe and mask, and you'll have to evade them even as you search the house for its secrets. With an eerie, surreal atmosphere, tense gameplay packed with cryptic puzzles and chases, and a mystery to solve, Dead Secret is a supremely creepy and enjoyable experience, despite some rigidly scripted sequences and predictability.
Celebrating a job well-done is usually a good thing to do. Drinking enough to keep you from hearing the company taking off and leaving you on a lone planet, not so good of a thing. Thankfully one of the partiers was able to write up plans for your own rocket, and another one can build it, but they need the special ore you were there to mine in the first place. So back into the dark mines with you to collect enough to make it back home. Underground Hangovers, a free indie Metroidvania-style platform game by Deconstructeam made in just a few days for Ludum Dare, is all about getting that sweet ore. Moving with the [WASD] and the [arrow] keys, you can explore the cave and find more of the special minerals, mined by tapping your down key. But you can only get so far with just your human abilities. Thankfully, you have the dual hook which you place with the [spacebar] and then throw with the same key to where you want to go to make a bridge. Your miner can walk a tightrope like no other and with this ability you'll be sure to find more pockets of Driliv ore to complete your spaceship, or spend on more goodies to help you along your way.
The once beautiful forest has lost its light. Darkness has gathered and soon all will be lost. But one little glowing light has the power to push back the darkness and rekindle the once warm glow the forest had. Light the Dark by Kyu is a free indie platform game where you must light all the beacons and make it to the ending before your light goes out. The woods are filled with obstacles and dark red creators wanting to stop you from saving your world. Using the [arrow] keys to run and jump is your only power to make it through this dark world. If you get hit by an enemy you lose more of your precious light that is always draining away. To help you, spread across the map are glowing squares that will add a few more seconds before you go out. Lighting the diamond beacons by touching it will grant you much more time, but there is never enough to stop and catch your breath. Some levels will require planning to hit all the beacons, but you have to think quick if you want to save your home world.
[Please Note: Streets of Rogue is currently free while the game is in its Alpha stage. The game will require a fee to play upon release. This review reflects the game's current free Alpha state.]
Things feeling a bit... samey lately? Matt Dabrowski's new action roguelike — free while in Alpha release — will put that right! Rather than your standard dungeon crawl, Streets of Rogue is set in a bustling urban area teeming with folks going about their business, much of it nefarious! Besides the usual assortment of shopkeepers and item merchants you'll find scientists performing experiments on gorillas, rival teams of gangs, security personnel on patrol guarding private complexes with some very useful items, and public venues that include armed-to-the-teeth guards and some alluring safes in the back room if you can get to them and find a way to open them.
Pony Island, by Daniel Mullins Games, is an indie puzzle game that's hiding a dark and terrible secret... or, well. Not hiding, really, since the game's official description gives it away, but DARK AND TERRIBLE NONETHELESS. What seems like an innocent and cheerful yet broken game about ponies takes a turn for the macabre... though you'll need to figure out how to fix the game first. Of course, once you've started, you can't stop, because the Capital-D Devil is literally in the machine and wants to keep you trapped in it forever. To escape, you'll need to literally break the game by discovering ways to crack the options and otherwise bend the code to your will. Originally conceived as a Ludum Dare game, whose original version is still available in your browser to try, Pony Island is strange, but we like it that way.
As Concerned Ape's indie RPG adventure sim Stardew Valley opens, you've reached your breaking point at your mindless job, and that's when you remember the letter left to you by your grandfather long ago. He told you to open it when you felt hopeless and lost, and, well, this fits, I suppose. Turns out he's left you a farm... it's more than a little run down, but the locals are willing to lend you a hand. Packed with secrets, surprises, crafting, the potential for marriage (regardless of gender!), dungeons, and much, much more, Stardew Valley is an ambitious and addictive Harvest Moon-alike game from a one-man team that delivers a startling amount of content despite some shallow portions. (Please note that as of this writing, Stardew Valley is only available for PC, though the developer says ports for Mac and Linux are a top priority.)
If you've heard about Factorio, it's finally available over at Steam Early Access! And if you haven't, this very stable and well-developed sandbox crafting game from Prague-based Wube Software has been years in development and boy does it show! Fans of Minecraft will feel right at home with this one, complete with extremely active ongoing game development, a well-used forum with a community of thousands of avid players, and even a plethora of supported third-party mods for added functionality to customize your game just as you like it. Stranded on a hostile alien world, it's up to you to go from harvesting basic resources to crafting a sophisticated production chain of manufacturing machinery that will process those resources into ever-more-advanced components to build what you need to succeed on the planet — and even make it home successfully. Once you research them transport belts, construction bots and automated trains carrying cargo cross-country become yours to build and use to advance from basic stone and metal mining all the way to manufacturing things like circuit boards, laser turrets and sci-fi personal defense arsenals! You'll even manage energy requirements to keep your sprawling production facilities operating smoothly, but they also emit byproducts which the native life instinctively scent as a threat to its entire way of life and it will respond. When that happens, will you be ready?
Twenty years after the blast the common population is dwindling. Struggling to get food, water, and other necessities of life the people continue to push on. If things weren't hard enough already a plague called Green Lung has a tight grip over the population. There is no cure, but a vaccine that can hold back the illness from becoming terminal. But the governing body, called The Aristocrats, are careful to whom they give out such a precious supply to. Citizens can take jobs from the government to gain a lottery ticket to try to win a vaccine for themselves or another in need. Amy Wellard starts off on one of these difficult missions risking her life for a chance of such a wonderful prize, but the events that are ahead of her are far more dangerous and heart pounding than she could have ever imagined. Shardlight is an indie point-and-click adventure by Wadjet Eye Games, the same team who also brought us Technobabylon, Gemini Rue, and Primordia. This dark and gritty post-apocalyptic tale is filled with astute puzzles, astounding artwork, and an amazing story that is easy to get lost in.
Hans has big dreams... he's ready to be grown-up now and take off on wild adventures, but with his father gone to war and his mother struggling to make ends meet, that seems farther away than ever. When his tenth birthday arrives, Hans is fed up and ashamed of being poor, and decides to strike off on his own to find riches and glory. While the night is dark and frightening, Hans still thinks he's struck it lucky when he stumbles across the Castle Tenebre, and learns of a mysterious count who's looking to find a worthy heir to bestow his fortune upon. All Hans has to do is prove himself and survive the trial... Baroque Decay's The Count Lucanor is a striking indie horror action adventure that's both beautiful and eerie in equal measure. As of this writing, Mac and Linux builds are on the way!
In a world where there are so many different kinds of humanoids, dragons are still the most mysterious. In fact, little Efina has no idea about herself and only knows that a man named Leo was there when she was born and that she has the power to make lies take a form, which then she happily devours. Being a dragon of such capabilities would be odd enough if it wasn't for the fact that the man she calls 'Papa', much to his annoyance, is a con-artist and tells lies as often as he breathes. And while she can't seem to make his lies manifest he uses her as a sort of lie detector, as they snoop around gathering up information to sell. Alice mare creator Miwashiba's LiEat is a three part RPG adventure with touches of detective work here and there. With a unique cast for every story you'll find the people here are as colorful as the amazing artwork. Filled with original music, some challenging fights, and short, but brilliantly animated cut-scenes, LiEat is everything you could want from a story-heavy RPG and much more.
[Note: This game is available in Pay What You Want format, including free. If you enjoy the game, show your support for the developer who made it by paying what you think is fair!]
When you're lost in a trackless desert waste, everywhere looks pretty much like everywhere else — and may as well be, for all that it matters. You'll need to not only get through a fierce Sandstorm, but also get yourself, your beast of burden and your creaky cart to a distant mountain you can't even see in order to complete your pilgrimmage. And this adventure by Daniel Linssen does a phenomenal job of recreating a wild sandstorm: gritty siroccos and mirages obscure the outer bounds of your view, and the whole landscape veers and wends arbitrarily as you move, providing an uncannily accurate depiction of just how disorienting a landscape can be when you can't find a single point of reference with which to get your bearings. Fortunately you've got a compass by which to orient, and a disc that shows you how much of the day has passed. Provided you can keep them. As the day progresses everything will eventually grow dim and narcolepsy hits you suddenly, with daybreak snapping on just as abruptly, and it's then that you'll find that your camel has invariably wandered off and any number of your tools have become scattered in the wind. They're out there somewhere and you'll need to find them, but if you stray too far you'll never find your way back to the wagon! Retracing your footsteps is an option, but they will become sandblown before too long. You have a meager supply of guide markers you can place and retrieve in order to find your way back, and you'll need to retrieve your camel and any strewn tools if you're to continue your quest effectively. Finding notes will also allow you to understand more about the area, and unlock a plethora of new game options as well.
Good fortune (and fun!) will come to those who dig through the archives.

i am so sorry this posted three times! eek! And my pic wont't show up... sorry!
Love the spiritual flow of this piece. I'm amazed you have the ability to write so many different genres so quickly. I'm still stuck on the slipknot song. I cant really figure out what they are relating their words to. But I'm working on it.
Very Well writen. I love this poem.
Oh, this is very differently written than the first I read! It really great that you can morph your writing style!
I really love this too - it's a delight to read! Love it! :D
// Nanna
It's not very often that I come across spiritual poems on this site (or any site, for that matter) so this was a refreshing read. I love how this tells such a story, I think the last two stanzas being my favorites. ^^ It'd be rather easy, I think, to put this to a song. I think you're one of the few writers I read that writes such lyrical poems.
Absolutely beautiful! From experience, I can relate to this in a way (*reads tags* ...though not the drinking part lolz) and I know a lot of people can relate to this too. The last stanza is the most refreshing. It tells a lyrical-like story, and one well worth reading! Kudos! *high fives* :D
Very full of emotion, I like it! You had a good flow for this one too, and I'm a big fan of flow, so good job!
"You've come back through I've rejected;"
I wasn't sure if you meant to say through or not :S
Urgent need... Such a powerful emotion that can provoke an anxiety that pushes you forward or leaves you behind; beautiful emotions that are captured really well by this poem...
Wonderful write. I really liked it. Nice job. Susan :)
thought beckoning! makes me realise how much my life would suck if i never knew God.it wud feel empty.lovely poem
So awesome, really!!! I certainly love it, there's a warm, truthful feeling deep inside! It's strong and oh so down to earth! great work, keep it up!!!

Recent New Yorker and Oxford American articles go into great depth explaining the fervor with which fans track him as he bounces from restaurant to restaurant. Chang is the kind of guy people drive across state lines for. The restaurants he cooks at are usually decidedly lacking in charm - think typical Chinese restaurant tucked into an unassuming strip center, and they are rarely in hot beds of Szechuan fervor - Fairfax, Alexandria, Knoxville, Marietta. But his cooking converts diners into fanatics, so when he pops up in a town, the blogosphere blows up.
Hot & Numbing Beef RollsI first heard about Chang's return (he was at Tasty China in Marietta previously) from Omnivore by way of Atlanta Cuisine. Chang is a "blink and you'll miss" him kind of guy, often gone from a restaurant as soon as it gets big buzz, so Mr. AT and I knew we had to drag ourselves OTP pronto. And man oh man am I glad we did!
Tasty China's decor is exactly what you might expect from an old suburban strip mall in a part of Marietta that's seen better days, but style is not what you're looking for there. Fortunately the service is attentive and friendly. I'd often heard of wait staff trying to warn Americans off of the best dishes for fear our lily white palates can't handle it, but our server didn't bat an eye lash when we began ordering dish after dish that we'd read about in the articles about Chang. Mr. AT and I ate there a while back, and the menu is now notably more exciting, bearing much more of Chang's imprint.
Fish Coriander Rolls
We started with Hot and Numbing Beef Rolls and Fish Coriander Rolls. I must say, I'd normally avoid something described as "hot and numbing" but if so many Changians love it, then it can't be bad, right? Right! The beef rolls were indeed spicy and had a lip numbing effect, but it turns out that's not actually an unpleasant sensation. The numbing balances out the heat, and it was not at all too hot for me, and I'm the kind of gal who can barely eat medium hot wings. The rolls, wraps filled with lettuce and slivers of beef, were actually substantially larger than expected. The fish coriander rolls were perfectly crisp little cigars filled with a mild mix of coriander and white fish and lacked the grease of your typical Chinese food fried rolls.
The Roasted Fish with Green Onion and Pepper appeared in every article I read about Chang, so it was a must try. Served in a bamboo basket and dusted with cumin, it was packed with flavor in a way I rarely find in roasted fish. Cumin is a flavor I've never experienced in Chinese food, but it appears to be a Chang hallmark. I was only sorry I didn't have more room for it.
Roasted Fish with Green Onion and Pepper
But for me the pinnacle of my Chang experience was Dry-Fried Eggplant with Hot and Numbing Pepper. Like the fish, the eggplant seemed to be cumin dusted, and were like the most wonderful eggplant fries you could ever imagine. Just enough spice, firm exterior, and melt in your mouth eggplanty goodness inside. I could not stop eating these, and in fact kept eating them long after I was full.
When we arrived, we weren't sure if the breathless news of Chang's return was true. Nowhere to be found was his awards wall that adorns each of his restaurants. But then a nearby table started asking the waiter questions about Chang, and next thing you know, there he was coming by to say hello to them. All I could think to do was grin like an idiot, and wave, yes wave, to him. But still he didn't come over.
Dry-Fried Eggplant with Hot and Numbing Pepper
It was only 20 minutes later when I again flashed him a goofy grin that he came over with a server as translator. After a brief chat during which we profusely complimented the food, we showed him that we had the New Yorker article with us. At that, he ran back to another table and brought back the Oxford American issue that included the article about him. It was autographed and offered as a gift to us. How cool is that? From everything I'd read, I imagined Chang as a bit reclusive, but he seem to bask in the glow of our praise. In fact, he agreed to take a photo with us, complete with his chef hat, and then had what I assumed to be his wife take a photo of us all with his own camera. I love this guy!
Yep, that's Mr. AT and me with Chef Peter Chang
Best of all, I got some scoop out of Chang. When we said we were thrilled to have him in Atlanta, he replied that he's just here helping out a friend, and we were lucky we caught him here. He informed us that he lives in Richmond, VA, and suggested we should come see him there. Different than what I'd read elsewhere and unfortunate for Atlanta foodies! There is a silver lining, though. He said he'd be back in a year or so, so perhaps that aligns with Atlanta Cuisine's report that he's working on opening a restaurant somewhere OTP.
All very exciting for a food dork like me! Flavorful, exciting food like nothing I'd ever tasted before and a little QT with the man, the myth, the legend. Immediate tweeting resulted in me even getting a retweet from the likes of Kate Krader from Food & Wine and Andrew Knowlton from Bon Appetit, the former of whom appears to be dining in Atlanta tonight. Clearly some big hitters are Changians, too, and a little publicity for Adventurous Tastes is always cool in my book!
At least for me, the hype is well worth it, and there's something exciting about chasing a talented and mysterious chef. Sounds like Chang might be heading to Richmond before you know it, so if you want to try out his Szechuan stylings for yourself, you better go fast!
*Note we realize that since Chang was in the dining room he was not in fact in the kitchen during our meal preparation, but whatevs, we ate some Chang classic dishes and he was there, so close enough, right?*

If you've ever wondered what the view from a car in the process of being built looks like, here's your chance to find out. And it's not just any automaker's assembly line you're rolling down: The video is produced by BMW and the car in construction is the 3-series. The video, with a camera view alternating between outside and inside the car-to-be, follows the process at BMW's Munich plant.
The tour starts at the press shop, heads to the body shop, paint shop (where the car repeatedly dives into a pool of water), assembly, and finishes up at the final stage, marriage. The high-speed, Paul Greengrass-style editing makes the process seem that much more impressive. The tour shows that while a lot of the work is done by some very impressive robots, there's a lot that still needs to be done by hand, especially as things move towards the finishing touches. So check out the video and find out what makes a BMW a BMW!

The voting system maker, Diebold Inc., sent a letter in response that questioned the test results and said the test was "a very foolish and irresponsible act" that may violated licensing agreements.
Company spokesman David Bear did not return a phone call from The Associated Press seeking comment Thursday. Diebold's letter was written by its senior lawyer, Michael Lindroos, and sent to the state of Florida, Leon County and the county election supervisor, Ion Sancho.
Optical-scan machines use paper ballots where voters fill in bubbles to mark their candidates. The ballots are then fed into scanners that record the selections.
In one of the tests conducted for Sancho and the non-profit election-monitoring group BlackBoxVoting.org, the researchers were able to get into the system easily, make the loser the winner and leave without a trace, said Herbert Thompson, who conducted the test.
He also said the machine that tabulates the overall count asked for a user name and password, but didn't require it.
In the other test, the researcher who had hacked into the voting machine's memory card was able to hide votes, make losers out of winners and leave no trace of the changes, said BlackBox founder Bev Harris. The memory card records the votes of one machine, then is taken to a central location where results are totaled.
Sancho criticized the Florida Secretary of State's Office, which approves the voting systems used in the state, for not catching the alleged problems.
A spokeswoman for the secretary of state's office said any faults Sancho found were between him and Diebold.
"If Ion Sancho has security concerns with his system, he needs to discuss them with Diebold," spokeswoman Jenny Nash said.
The Miami Herald reported Thursday that Sancho scraped Leon's Diebold machines this week for a voting system from another manufacturer.
Many Florida counties switched to computer-based elections systems after the 2000 presidential election, when the cardboard punchcard ballots then in use were plagued by incomplete and multiple punches.

These things tend to level themselves out in the end. Just as an unnervingly mild, dry autumn could not last forever, so Nicky Henderson knows that the very best horses in his care will ultimately complete a cycle rendered almost as inexorable by his past champions.
He paraded the latest generation before the cameras at Seven Barrows yesterday morning, as ragged black clouds still tumbled in the gale that had finally thrashed the trees bare. Here was Long Run, the champion steeplechaser, taught a memorable lesson by the evergreen Kauto Star at Haydock 11 days ago; and here was Binocular, a former champion hurdler, likewise beaten on his reappearance at Newcastle last weekend. But while lesser animals in the yard continue in rampant form – to the extent that he won with all seven of his runners the previous Monday – its elite will always reserve their very best for Cheltenham in March.
Both Long Run and Binocular were beaten first time out last season as well, but laid sufficient foundations to proceed to Grade One success at Kempton on Boxing Day. And Henderson, who had opened his stable on behalf of the meeting's promoters, is satisfied that they will defend their trophies – respectively in the William Hill King George VI Chase and Christmas Hurdle – with undiminished verve.
It must be said that Long Run could scarcely have endured a rougher comeback than Kauto Star gave him in the Betfair Chase. "But if he did have a hard race, he has come out of it very well indeed," Henderson said. "He seems very bright and breezy. Of course it was disappointing, to see him beaten – but it wasn't a disaster. You could go on dissecting the race as long as you like, but the fact is that he does get a bit rusty and he was too fresh in the early stages. Was his first run last season any better? It probably wasn't as good. And his jumping, until those two mistakes, was absolutely brilliant – better than ever before."
The mistakes in question were palpably provoked by the unsparing demands made by a super-fit Kauto Star, and Henderson did indicate that Long Run's rider, Sam Waley-Cohen, would ride a more patient race if the winner is again waiting for them at Kempton. Either way, he was thrilled by the way Long Run rallied for second after initially dropping away.
"Okay, the other horse made him make that first mistake," he said. "Fair enough. But then he went back for more, and got a bit of another dose. And that really knocked him back. It's easy in hindsight, but I suppose after that first mistake, you might just let it happen. I wouldn't think he'll be taking on Kauto Star that early at Kempton. But on the day Sam just found him tanking, full of exuberance, and was suddenly landing upsides. We're not going to make acres of excuses. We were beaten fair and square. But Paul [Nicholls] had got Kauto Star pretty ready for the day. We'd got pretty ready, as well, but not ready enough."
Certainly he retains every confidence in the horse's rider, whose amateur partnership with a horse owned by his father ultimately won over even the most cynical punters last season. Some, admittedly, felt that Waley-Cohen looked at least as rusty as his mount at Haydock. "But Sam's got a fantastic attitude," Henderson protested. "It's not that he doesn't care, but he's got a very cool head, and he's very positive. I know it's not the same for him as for the boys doing it seven days a week. But he's very fit, very focused, and has lots of belief – both in himself and in his horse. It certainly doesn't worry me one iota."
Just as Long Run's season works backwards from the Cheltenham Festival, so those who fancy Finian's Rainbow for the Queen Mother Champion Chase should not be too alarmed that he sits out his intended comeback at Sandown on Saturday. The horse is "not quite ready" and will probably now be targeted at Kempton on 27 December.
As for Binocular, he has now been turned over at odds-on when reappearing in the "Fighting Fifth" Hurdle three years running. "He probably thinks we ought to try something different," Henderson said wryly. "But Overturn is a very hard horse to pass, and we met him at the very top of his game. Like Long Run, Binocular will go to Kempton with exactly the same profile as last year. We're not early birds, everyone knows that. There's a long way to go."
Turf account
Chris McGrath's Nap
Ngong Hills (2.0 Catterick) Faces a less exposed rival in Streamtown and nor would he want too much rain, but reliable and very fairly handicapped.
Next best
Main Beach (6.30 Kempton) Impressive round here last time and could offer value against Mottley Crewe, who looks effective on the deeper surface at Southwell.
One to watch
Tullamore Dew (Nick Gifford) is going to pop up in a decent handicap sooner or later, palpably failing to get home over the longer trip in the Hennessy last Saturday.
Where the money's going
Peddlers Cross is now 4-1 from 5-1 for the Irish Independent Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham in March.

The pleasure and profit from means of grace, should make us disregard trouble and fatigue in going to them; and we should quicken one another to what is good. We should desire our Christian friends, when they have any good work in hand, to call for us, and take us with them. With what readiness should we think of the heavenly Jerusalem! How cheerfully should we bear the cross and welcome death, in hopes of a crown of glory! Jerusalem is called the beautiful city. It was a type of the
gospel church, which is compact together in holy love and Christian communion, so that it is all as one city. If all the disciples of Christ were of one mind, and kept the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, their enemies would be deprived of their chief advantages against them. But Satan's maxim always has been, to divide that he may conquer; and few Christians are sufficiently aware of his designs. (Ps 122:6-9)

API Manufacturing
3M Purification offers a range of innovative solutions to meet your purification needs in the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industry. Our extensive range of products provide solutions to the most routine of applications through to the more complex situations where our innovation and technology platforms allow us help you be more successful in your production.
Ease of use, containment, single use, scalability and total cost of ownership are key areas that we address during the development of our solutions.
Our expertise can help you become more efficient in the following key areas:
The manufacture of small molecules and API's often involve filtration of aggressive chemicals at elevated temperatures. We therefore embrace its extensive technologies to deliver products with the optimum chemical and thermal compatibility.
The Pharmaceutical Industry's regulatory requirements demand high quality and solutions that can be validated therefore 3M's pharmaceutical grade filters are all supplied with documented evidence to assist you in meeting these regulatory demands. Our scientists are also trained and available to assist in process development, training, trouble shooting and undertaking process specific validation work.
To discuss any of these applications or your specific requirements with one of our trained technicians contact us
Gases, typically nitrogen air and carbon-dioxide are used extensively through-out the production of API's. Applications include, venting of tanks, purging of equipment and propulsion of liquids from tank to tank.
Certain applications only require removal of particulate to prevent the ingress of particulate contamination whilst other more critical duties require the absolute removal of bacteria and other airborne organisms.
The absolute-rated 3M™ Betafine™ XL filter cartridges feature the novel Advanced Pleat Technology (APT), which increases the usable filtration surface area within the cartridge. These filters are perfect for removing solid particulate from gases offering reduced system sizing, extended filter service life and broad chemical compatibility.
3M™ LifeASSURE™ PFS filters contain a hydrophobic PTFE Membrane which offers exceptional chemical compatibility. Their high filter surface area deliver exceptionally high flow rates whilst maintaining low differential pressures.
LifeASSURE™ PFS filters are perfect for assuring sterile filtration of gases, solvents and liquids. They are available in cartridge, mini cartridge and capsule formats.
The production of API's involve many varied liquid filtration applications.
Starting at the Tank Farm there will be a need for course "Trap" filtration through which bulk deliveries will be filtered to prevent the ingress of solid particulate into the bulk storage tanks.
Moving down the process and into the reaction stages there will be need for finer levels of filtration up to and including full sterile filtration. 3M's product ranges cover all the usual formats from bags, tubular, lenticular and sheet depth filters through to pleated tubular constructions.
3M™ NB Series provided in a range of formats, materials and grades make an excellent choice for retrofitting into existing Tank Farm Applications.
Cleanable stainless steel CUNO MS
Cleanable stainless steel CUNO MS metal filter cartridges are specially designed to treat fluids with a high viscosity, high temperature, high purity and corrosive properties.
3M™ Micro-Klean™ D filter cartridges are suitable to use for aggressive solvent filtration thanks to the excellent compatibility of the cotton media and the 316 stainless steel core.
More critical applications requiring higher levels of purity can be addressed with 3M™ Betafine™ XL. They feature a pleated design called Advanced Pleat Technology (APT), which increases the usable filtration surface area and also dramatically enhances service life, so fewer cartridges are needed, the production downtime is lower and overall costs are reduced.
3M™ Betapure™ NT-P combine depth filter structure in a unique format that enables an increased flow rate and a longer cartridge service life.
The 3M™ Zeta Plus™ SP filters are lenticular depth filters constructed from cellulose and filter aids designed to retain contaminants through mechanical filtration and electrokinetic adsorption. The Zeta Plus™ SP series is especially intended for pharmaceutical applications such as solvent and reaction medium filtration. In addition to conventional filtration their flat surface provides excellent performance in recovering high volumes of solids such as activated carbon, expressed salts and catalyst recovery. Their inert materials of construction provide a filter with excellent chemical compatibility.
Pharmaceutical Plants can be large users of water, all of which needs to be purified for many different applications.
3M™ 740B cartridge series is the best solution for high flowing pre-filtration in water supply systems. The 3M™ 740B series benefits from its patented 3M radial pleating technique to ensure a particularly large and effective filtration surface area.
Modern API Processes are making increased use of Metal Catalysts which need to be recovered after use. Recovery can take two forms - the first being the removal of solids whilst the second is scavenging of dissolved catalyst salts to meet the FDS's requirements for impurity.
3M™ Zeta Plus™ SP are lenticular depth filters constructed from cellulose and filter aids designed to retain contaminants through mechanical filtration and electrokinetic adsorption. TheZeta Plus™ SP series is especially intended for pharmaceutical applications. Their flat surface provides excellent performance in recovering high volumes of solids such as activated carbon, expressed salts and catalyst. The binder resin used in the media also has the capability of adsorbing dissolved impurities. 3M can customize the formulation of ZetaPlus to immobilize other chemistries such as functionalized silica which can be engineered to remove specific metals compounds from the solution.
The CUNO™ CTG system is a self-contained and ready-to-use system in which the filters are packaged inside a liner pack. This closed system contains tubular filter cartridges (see range above) and the liner pack provides a flexible containment system that can help reduce operator exposure.
API Manufacturing requires the removal of additives and insoluble impurities.
The 3M™ NB filter bag series meets these filtration requirements. They offer much capacity to ensure the retention of solid particulate inside the filter bag. They are manufactured with high performance fibre with no adhesives, binders.
The 3M™ Zeta Plus™ SP lenticular filters offer an alternative solution for additive and insoluble retention. When used for the recovery of high solids content their design allows for the capture of solids in the space between the individual cells.
Each cell contains two 3M™ Zeta Plus™ SP media discs sealed with a polypropylene separator intended to improve the flow rate. The internal separator reinforcement and the additional diffuser on each media disc contribute to an optimal use of the filter surface area and remain sealed throughout the complete filtration cycle.
Activated carbon is used extensively in the pharmaceutical industry to remove colour from API solutions prior to crystallisation, lower the levels of dissolved homogeneous catalysts and to retain organic compounds such as pesticides in plant extracts.
3M™ ZetaCarbon are a series of filters that immobilize activated carbon in a rigid cellulose and resin matrix through which the fluid is passed.
Liquids of different viscosity are addressed by having 3 different standard porosities of media and different impurity species can be removed by selecting one of 5 different carbon types. In addition to the catalogue range of products 3M have the ability to customize a formulation specific to your needs by incorporating your specific type of carbon into a product which can greatly reduce the burden of re-validating your process when upgrading from bulk powdered activated carbon (PAC).
3M™ ZetaCarbon delivers many benefits in optimizing your process such as higher efficiency and yields, greater purity, less processing steps whilst producing a safer and cleaner environment for your operators to work in.
The 3M™ Betafine™ XL, 3M™ Betafine™ PPXL and Betafine™ TSM are high performance solutions for providing cost-effective optimization for particle trap filtration and protection of critical final sterile membrane filtration.
Betafine™ XL and Betafine™ filter cartridges are all polypropylene filter cartridges with high surface areas that dramatically reduce differential pressures thus increasing service life. Higher surface areas can also offer smaller solutions to reduce the overall costs of ownership.
Betafine™ TSM cartridges employ pleated cellulose filter media which can give improved chemical compatibility for extreme service conditions. These filters are perfect for delivering high retention and removal efficiencies when employed as a trap filter for removing carbon fines.
3M™ LifeASSURE™ PLA or 3M™ LifeASSURE™ PNA series filters are perfect for pre-filtration for final sterile filtration or for final filtration when the drug substance is to be terminally sterilized by autoclave etc.
LifeASSURE™ PLA filters contain a novel graded density Nylon N6.6 Membrane whilst LifeASSURE™ PNA filters contain a PES Membrane. Both products are available in all the standard industry formats for capsules and cartridges.

Women in Prison in Argentina: Causes, Conditions, and Consequences
Sital Kalantry
Cornell University - Law School
May 1, 2013
U of Chicago, Public Law Working Paper 439
In many countries around the world, including Argentina, the number of women who are deprived of their liberty has risen over time and has increased disproportionately in comparison to male prisoners. In Argentina, the number of female prisoners within the federal system increased 193%, while the male population rose 111% from 1990 to 2012. Nonetheless, little research has been done to understand why there has been such a dramatic increase in women's incarceration. At the same time, international and domestic laws governing prisons and prison policies and practices have traditionally been designed for men. In 2010, however, the United Nations adopted the first international standards relating specifically to women prisoners – the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Female Prisoners and Non-Custodial Measures for Women Offenders (Bangkok Rules). The Bangkok Rules specifically call for research to be conducted on (among other things) the causes of women's imprisonment, the characteristics of women in prison, and the impact on children.
This Report focuses particularly on the causes and conditions of women's imprisonment, and consequences for children of incarcerated mothers in Argentina. In undertaking research for this Report, the authors developed two surveys, a General Prison Population Survey that was administered to nearly 30% of all women prisoners (246 women) in Argentina's federal prison system (attached as Annex 1) and a Co-Residence Program Survey which received responses from 26 women residing with their children in prison (attached as Annex 2); conducted site visits to two women's prisons in Buenos Aires, Argentina; and interviewed women prisoners, judges, academics and civil society members. Justice Elena Highton de Nolasco, the Vice President of the Supreme Court of Argentina, invited us to conduct this study and provided us with full and open access and cooperation.
This Report focuses solely on the federal prison system in Argentina, known as the Servicio Penitenciaro Federal (SPF), while the vast majority of the people deprived of their liberty are held in provincial jails across the country. As of April 2012, the SPF detained 9,693 prisoners in 34 federal prisons. Of these, 9% (or approximately 872 SPF prisoners) were women.

|GB Hogg
DateLine: 19th February 2007
From the comforts of the pavilion or the living room it would appear that Brad Hogg�s bowling is the easiest to play in the world. But the batsman out there in the middle is uncomfortably aware of the manifold skills of the `grinning assassin�. Indeed Hogg seems to be always smiling as he cheers himself and his side on in the manner of the perfect team man. But behind that friendly fa�ade is the brain of a scheming spin bowler who has any number of variations when it comes to turn and flight. Hogg has been Australia�s premier one-day spinner ever since Shane Warne decided to retire from the shorter version of the game and his mesmeric work more than adequately supplements the awesome pace attack. Always experimenting, always varying his flight and turn Hogg adheres however to the basics of line and length and this sometimes makes the batsman as helpless as a butterfly in a gale. Unable to differentiate Hogg�s flipper from his wrong �un the bat is full of edgy and miscued shots. Hogg made his Test debut against India at New Delhi in 1996 in Warne�s absence but with the legendary leg spinner and Stuart MacGill around he has barely got a look in and has played only three more Tests. But he has excelled in ODIs playing a notable role in the triumphant World Cup campaign in 2003 and shrugging off the challenge from ``new boy�� off spinner Dan Cullen remains the best bet to don the green and gold again in the Caribbean

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Continued from page 1
The financing of the European-sized Sozialstaat by regressive taxes raises a logical fallacy: The Sozialstaat is supposed to give all citizens "positive rights" to employment, income, health care, pensions, and child care through redistribution. But with regressive taxes, a perverse Robin Hood state steals from the middle class and poor to give back to the middle class and poor! (The poor may get back more than was taken. The middle class will not). If Robin Hood takes something for himself (administrative fees) or is inefficient or corrupt, the middle class and poor get a smaller percentage of their taxes back in the form of positive rights.
The ideological principles of the European Sozialstaat were laid out in the Gotha Program of 1875 – the socialist equivalent of the Nicene Creed. Europe's socialists agreed that "the whole product of labor… belongs to society, that is, to all its members, by equal right," and that the means of production must be "the common property of society," the state must use it "for the general good," and must insure a "just distribution."
Our Times writer offers an updated version of the socialist Gotha Program: The state should "guarantee a set of universal public services — from health care to child care to pensions — that are considered basic rights of citizenry. To pay for this minimum welfare package, everybody is expected to contribute proportionately into the pot." Obama's unscripted complaint that the Constitution fails to give "positive rights" shows he is on board with these principles, in his heart but not on public record.
Here is what the Left does not like about U.S. entitlements: Instead of universal services to guarantee basic rights to all and paid for by everyone, the United States erects a narrow social safety net aimed to benefit only the poor that "looks more like charity than a universal right." The rich can pay enough taxes for a narrow safety net for the poor but not for universal services for all.
So, if I understand the Left correctly: the state should be responsible for providing all citizens positive economic rights – for which all – rich, middle class and poor alike -- must pay! I guess the rich and middle class cannot be trusted to use their own resources to acquire what they need. Elites and central planners surely know better what is good for people than the people themselves.
To review to make sure everyone got that: The nanny state must tax everyone and, after wastage, corruption, and administrative expenses, guarantee everyone their basic rights with what is left. Because the state is responsible for everyone's positive rights, it cannot be puny. Hence everyone – especially the middle class – must pitch in to help.
Robert Lucas – a Nobel laureate economist and a supporter of Obama in 2008 – has calculated that the European entitlement state, with its many inefficiencies and disincentives, reduced European per capita incomes by thirty percent since 1970. On average, the Sozialstaat has made Europeans poorer by almost one third. In addition to depriving citizens of economic liberty to make their own decisions and the losses due to bureaucratic waste, providing everyone with basic economic rights reduces the size of the economic pie.
Our liberal elites propose to tax the middle class and poor heavily so that the state, after wasting tax dollars, can return a portion of their taxes to them as positive economic rights. Although the rich and middle class can buy what they need, everyone – rich, middle class and poor -- must pony up to the taxman so that elites and central planners can decide what to give back; namely, what is good for them. In the course of taking from everyone to give back to everyone, the entitlement state reduces the total amount of income by a not insignificant amount. Try to pitch that story clearly to American voters.
At some point the deficit will create a moment of truth. According to the CBO, under the most likely assumptions (and a lot of hoping for good luck along the way), the national debt will approach one hundred percent of GDP within ten years. If interest rates are a "normal" five percent, interest payments alone will take up 20 percent of government spending, leaving too little for entitlements. Once the Democrats have raised taxes on high income earners, they are out of bullets. They must raise income taxes on the middle class, double or triple payroll taxes, introduce a steep national sales tax and raise sharply gas taxes
The Left in America will have a very hard time getting the public to agree to these taxes. The Democratic Party will lose their high-income and educated supporters, who regard it as motivated by compassion to the poor and downtrodden, not as socialists. These supporters believe that entitlements are fine as long as the rich pay for them, but what happens when the poor and middle class are called to the table to pay?
Demographics have focused the attention of the political class on the long run. The declining share of the white male voter is presumed to doom the Republicans to its forty years in the wilderness. The fact that we cannot pay for the entitlement state except by taxes and on the middle class and poor will be a larger long run problem for the Democrats and could turn the demographics in the Republicans' favor.

Areal Restaurant Ratings and Reviews
I can't honestly say the restaurant was bad. But the service was terrible. I made a reservation about three hours before hand. Once I arrived I was informed that there weren't any meals being prepared because of some special even. The staff never tired to contact me about that. All I was told was that there would be a limited menu, which I was ok with. Otherwise a bad experience when the staff neglect to inform you about exclusive events that will not allow entry.
We all four loved the delicious food. The patio is attractive and enclosed, with heaters and blankets available. It was quiet when we arrive at 6:00 p.m. on Friday evening, but when we left at 7:30 the noise level was high because there was live music and dancing.
The only thing that brought the experience down was that our waiter gave us the bill before we were done ordering as though he wanted us to leave. We were going to order more food and dessert, but we decided to just leave instead. Other than that, the experience was nice. It was likely not the waiter's fault, but it took awhile for our drinks to come too.
Hos test was incredibly rude. Service was incredibly slow for only maybe six tables. When I asked for the wifi I was told different reasons by two different people; it doesn't work and I can't give it out.
The hostess was rude from the beginning. Folded napkins and took a phone knowing I was standing there waiting to be helped. Told her I had a reservation. In a very snarky tone, "um we do not take reservations before 4." "Perhaps your owner Shiism speak with OpenTable as it allows for reservations well before then."
I will never go back to this Areal despite throwing friends baby showers there and having Areal be apart of our bar crawls. Way better service just about anywhere else.
An interesting restaurant that has abundant outdoor dining space and open to the indoor dining area so the indoor tables do not feel closed in. From the website I mistakenly thought it would be a quiet dining spot but it is located right at a busy corner (lots of parking in the back) with much foot and vehicle traffic around. If I had been looking for a more energetic feel with live music (we were there for Sunday dinner), it would have been great. The food was fine and good portions.
I havent been to Areal in eons. The food has greatly improved and we enjoyed our server immensely. The restaurant was gracious enough to take back a pizza one of the kids ended up not eating/liking. This has now made it onto the list for regular rotation for us. I plan to come back soon, and often.
If you remember World Café, you will notice how not much has changed, in terms of ambience, décor and food quality, which is good (except for the food part). The food is not horrible, it's just not great, however it is fairly priced, so the restaurant is a good choice when you want to have a nice night out in a good atmosphere and not spend too much money.
We ate a very good dinner here, but my memories of this night are of an incident that the restaurant handled amazingly well. A man and a woman were dining at a table and the woman went to the bathroom. A diner at the next table saw the man put something in the woman's drink. She notified a waitress, who told her manager and the woman in the bathroom. She came back to her table and acted like she knew nothing, while the restaurant called the police. We left as the police arrived to question the man, and safely escort her home. It was the most amazing thing and it really takes a village to keep everyone safe!
Met a friend here who I hadn't seen in years so we obviously spent a bunch of time catching up. We were never rushed or pressured which I really appreciate. Our server was attentive without being pushy and was ready with suggestions when we couldn't make up our minds. Food was tasty and I enjoyed sitting in the courtyard.
We are from Chicago and spend the winters in Santa Monica. Last year we love Areal
This year we were very disappointed
Last year we found it romantic looking. This year we ate inside and they had chairs stacked in
The corner in the main dining room. The corner of the dining room looked awful
Food wasn't very good
Bar/ding outside was full. Maybe they just don't care about the inside dining room
This is the first review I have ever written for a restaurant.
To bad it had to be negative
We were sorry we suggested and took are friends there
Went here for New Year's Eve pre-drinking dinner with some friends, saw their beautiful white party decorations and had a very nice time. Prices were very fair for the location and because we were about an hour or so before their prix fix menu setting, we were in and out very quickly, service was tremendously fast! We'll be going again for sure
Areal is a great spot, with consistently great food. Everything on their menu is great and really can feel comfortable ordering what you want. The bar scene is usually pretty good and vibrant. Great place to stop by have a few drinks, enjoy what Santa Monica has to offer and enjoy the awesome weather. They have a great patio for groups and the menu really caters to just that as you can share most of the items.
I can't say I've ever visited Areal for the food.... but I did love the atmosphere, the string lights & dining outside.
Areal was one of my "go-to's" for last minute reservations & outdoor dining on a nice night. Having lived in Santa Monica for years, I've been to Areal more times than I can count on four hands.
The first disappointment was when they limited their happy hour to indoor bar dining....even when the outside was empty.
The second disappointment has been lack luster food. Lame Caesar, weak/spongy pizza & possibly one of the worst "hand crafted" spicy margaritas I've had.
The final & ultimate offenses was the service. I asked if they had any specials. He said no but they had two soups, one being a clam chowder. My boy friend ordered said clam chowder. 10-15 minutes later when our salads are served he comes back to say they are out of the clam chowder.....how did you take an order for something you're out of? No apology or gesture....fine.
But our waiter didn't check on our table for more than 20 minutes. More than 10 minutes into the twenty I asked the busser to please send our waiter over....another 10 minutes later I got up & walked towards him & asked him to send us our check. Believe it or not, against our better judgement we were going to try & order a different cocktail, but after 20+ we couldn't wait to get out of there & give someone else our money.
The waiter did not apologize or make any gesture to right the wrong. He meekly brought the check, as if his tail were between his legs, & left. The manager was also next to spineless. I calmly explained that though I'd never been overly impressed with their food, I'd been back countless times because of the atmosphere. I explained the lack of service & lackluster cocktails & disappointing food was a trifecta I didn't find excusable. he replied with "& we're not even busy..." Ya no kidding. He made no effort to explain, make the wrong right, etc.
As such I won't be back. Bad business.
The food was not good. So sorry. We started with the tuna tartar, it looked good but the tuna was not very fresh still edible. The bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese was sitting in a pool of honey, not enough contrast sweet on sweet. We had the pork chop, and a burger (usually a safe choice.) The burger on a brioche bun was good not great but good. The pork chop was not. I have never sent back a dish (even if it is not cooked the way I order it) but it was not edible. We ordered it medium, it was well done and so tough the steak knife they gave us could barely cut through it. It was sitting on a pile of vegetables that were supposed be potatoes, and brussel sprouts, but there was something incredibly bitter in the mix. The server was great he took it back and asked if we would like something else. Desserts were OK. The creme brulee was a bit broken the texture was grainy. The coffee was very good.
Great restaurant ! We were looking for city dinning with lots of atmosphere ,somewhere we could dine with young friends that we had not seen in awhile. Areal was over and above our expectations. WE had a fantastic dinner out on the patio.Troy waited on us ,we could not pick a better person . this man made our night. We finished our night inside at the whiskey bar ,it"s real quaint with a fantastic band . This restaurant put everyone in a Great mood .
I looked like a real star picking this place , This is now my new go to place in Santa Monica.
We took a 3 year old to eat here and we're very pleased with the menu choices and attentive service.
The outdoor courtyard dining was perfect ,lovely when it was light out and well lit and warm in the dark.
The burgers were cooked just right and the lobster mac and cheese deliciously rich!
I come here a lot bc I live nearby and I like the vibe. The food concepts are GREAT... But the execution is somewhat half-assed, unfortunately. Overcooked octopus and soggy squash blossoms. Attempts at a flavor profile that I can tell would be incredible if only the kitchen staff were trained well/cared. The music where the high-tops are is impossibly loud. However, I do choose to go to Areal and sit in that area for the vibe. I love the patio when the sun is out. Again, food is pretty disappointing and service is unimpressive, but I love being somewhere on Main st that's so airy and bustling.
We were excited with the menu online and then found that they only had a buffet which frankly had some great dishes as well, however was not what we expected.
Our Father like many is up in years and having to get up for his meal and the configuration of the outside dining made it tough on our entire party.
Certainly give the staff an A+ and as mentioned my Salmon Benedict tasted great (but their was no traditional benedict available).
Came to Areal for the first time for Mother's day with my mom, boyfriend, and toddler. The food was fantastic! Great variety of food, healthy, a little more indulgent, kid friendly, vegetarian friendly. They constantly rotated the food to ensure freshness, which I appreciated. The waitress we had was very attentive while it was a busy brunch and in between I saw her constantly rolling silverware! I would come back in a heart beat.
Delightful outdoor venue with a sufficient selection of small plates and attentive service. Quiet enough to have a conversation. Unfortunately the quality of the cooking doesn't measure up to the setting. For example, ceviche had large chunks of fish that were tough, perhaps due to insufficient time in the marinade, as well as flavorings that were off balance, and the creme brulee was grainy rather than creamy. Very generous on portion size. I would definitely return, but I wouldn't expect great food.

Scottish History
... comes to Scotland once a year in the summer. We went and toured the palace and learned all about the British monarchs. We got to see where the queen dines when she is in the palace, her gardens and greeting areas. As we ended the tour it started to rain a little but not too bad. We then went for a very late lunch and walked back to the hotel. We got back in time for a nap and swim!! For dinner we found a great veggie restaurant and had vegetarian ...
Day 2 Edinburgh, Loch Ness, Oban, and Glasgow!
... cause I got to meet more people on the tour that sit in the front of the bus. From Edinburgh we headed to LOCH NESS, home of the Monster and stayed in this amazing hotel that had plaid and tartan from floor to ceiling and even still used the old skeleton key to open and lock the doors! We took a wonderful cruise on Loch Ness and tasted the famous Nessie beers while searching for the monster herself. I didnt get to see her, But i did get some ...
Day 23- Edinburgh
... through and freezing, but because of the festival that was on I found a cool bar that had all these free shows on and it was nice and warm. I decided to watch this one called ghost cop because I heard some other people talking about it. Omg.. It was the most awkward thing I have ever seen! It was like a play that 5 year old kids would put on! So I went and found a cafe and some wifi and has a hot chocolate! I then walked around ...
It's nearly time!
... changing experience! I'd far rather face the challenges and obstacles that we will no doubt encounter on our journey, rather than sip a cocktail on a five star cruise. I'm hoping for nothing less than a life-changing experience! I will try to update this blog whenever possible, but it remains to be seen what the internet will be like over there. Hopefully a few skype calls will be possible too! Fingers crossed!
Day 4 Edinburgh
... take us on tour of famous sites. It possibly is a typical day, bleak, grey skies and drizzle. Walked part of the Royal Mile and picked up a bottle of French wine for a quiet game of cards later on. Last photo of Roxburghe Hotel for our 2 night ...
