Applying to Graduate School
So you have decided graduate school is right for you and you have taken your standardized test. Now it is time to prepare your application. Most applications require prospective students to obtain 2-3 letters of recommendation, provide standardized testing scores and submit a personal statement. Some schools may even require applicants to send a letter of intent, and participate in an extensive interview process. Each element of your application will help tell the story of who you are, and how you will contribute to the program.
The process of applying to a graduate program begins with developing an understanding of the graduate admissions process. You need to understand how your application will be measured against programs standards as well as how you are likely to compare to other applicants to the program. At this point in the process you will have to make final decisions on the types of programs you will apply to, which degree you want to pursue, and what actions you must take in order to enhance your chances of getting into your favorite graduate programs. Below are key elements of the application process:
Essay Writing (Personal Statement and Resume/CV)- From the application process through your post-academic career, writing is an essential skill which, if practiced correctly, can give you an advantage over less well-written applicants.
Graduate School Interview - Many graduate programs require an interview as part of the application process. For some, this may cause anxiety, but for the prepared applicant it is a chance to show off.
Recommendation Letters -Recommendation letters are a key piece of your graduate school application. Selecting an appropriate recommender who knows you personally and will endorse your talents in a positive light may mean the difference between acceptance and rejection.

General Tips for Applying to Graduate School
Craig Kinnear, Ph.D. History, University of Notre Dame, May 2015
Talk to your professors.
- They can steer you toward schools that will be a good fit for you and your academic interests.
Give yourself a range of prospective schools.
- This list should include at least one ambitious application, at least one backup application, and a few applications in your goldilocks zone.
Contact potential advisors in each prospective graduate program.
- Do this before you apply!
Ask a lot of questions.
- If the department can't offer reasonable assurances that it's program will help you meet your career goals—and back it up with evidence—then it's unreasonable for you to spend a few years of your life there.
Perfect the written components of your applications.
- Call in every favor from every experienced writer you know: faculty, friends, family, career center, writing center, etc.
Don't go to a school that gives you bad vibes.
- If a campus/department/advisor/etc. triggers red flags in your mind, then pay attention. There are a lot of great places to do graduate work, and one will be the right home for you!

So, We Disappeared for a While…
Hello On the PRowl readers!
Maria and I have been traveling, celebrating holidays, starting new jobs and beginning new semesters–we have been busy bees here in Boston.
I started my first job at SHIFT Communications on January 22, and I have been thoroughly enjoying learning the ropes and figuring out new things. I've been meeting great people and I'm looking forward to building a career at SHIFT.
Just wanted to throw a quick update on here–it's Superbowl Sunday, so I need to get ready to cheer on my Patriots!

The Final Final
So, today I took my final final of college. As I sat there, test finished, totally not caring if any of the answers were right, I couldn't believe I was done. I knew I wasn't going to add anything else to my answers, but I spent a few extra minutes sitting and waiting for the "wow" moment when I felt totally different. Strange, but it just felt the same as any other final exam.
I expected when I passed in my test, that I would maybe punch my fist in the air and make some little squeal sound as I left the room. Instead, I just put the exam on Don Wright's desk, wished him a happy holiday, and walked out. I was happy and proud, but I didn't feel as if I had just had a life-changing experience. I mean, there was no beautiful music playing and there weren't any people applauding as I walked out of the building and headed home. Weird, right?
I guess it just takes a while for big things to hit you sometimes.

Oh No You Didn't…
Our blog experiment has come to an end. The semester is over, and our blog is up for review. Don't panic, Amanda and I aren't going anywhere. We will continue to write this blog. But the era as students is coming to an end. Amanda graduates in exactly one week. And I graduate in one semester and two days.
As part of our final project (this blog) we also had to write a paper (sooo old media *wink*) explaining various aspects of the blog: subject matter, voice, style, reader persona, seo, and such. The last question was regarding ethical dilemmas. This took Amanda and I a minute to figure out. We are such ethical beings that figuring out dilemmas was difficult!
We finally settled on a few to write about, and I thought that I would post one of them up here for all of you to comment on. We would love to hear your perspective on the dilemma and any further advice you have on how we can be more ethical.
Over and out. (for now at least).
"The most (seemingly) straightforward ethical issues is that of giving due credit. Throughout college we are warned against plagiarism, but there are few plagiarism laws on the internet, especially when it comes to the intellectual property of blogs. We have tried to be vigilant in linking content within the blog to its thought author. In many ways, giving due credit is more difficult online than in a scholastic paper. We all know the rules for footnotes and bibliography, but online, the rules are different. We are still learning what they are, and luckily seasoned pros have been kind enough to gently clue us in when we stumble (if this was a blog post I would hyperlink "seasoned pros" to Steve Garfield). When a name is mentioned — hyperlink. When a site, book, article is mentioned — hyperlink. If a picture is posted, don't just give photo-credit, but hyperlink to the source of the photo. And this is just the beginning. Every piece of a blog post has to be multidimensional to make sure that everyone can find the source of what you are saying.
In order to adhere to the standard of being ethical, we try to remember to link everything and welcome with open arms, any suggestions of how we can give even better link-love. The ethical students that we are, we will not fail to give credit when we know that credit is due, and as much as we can, we will spread the link-love."

Four Degrees of Separation
Last year I attended a PRSSA meeting at BU. One of the many things the speaker talked about that night really stuck with me — you never know when you are going to meet your next boss. Amanda's recent post College Kids Party; I Network reminded me of this. I don't mean this in the swarmy way like Chris Brogan mentioned in his comments on Amanda's post. What I took this piece of advice to mean is that jobs don't just happen by submitting a resume and going on an interview. 'It isn't what you know, but who you know' wouldn't be a cliche if there wasn't some truth to it.
In this new age of building relationships, knowing people is what it is all about. And not just collecting business cards, actually getting to know people. Pose in pictures as Amanda suggests. One link leads to another to another and so on. Which brings in the whole concept of six degrees of separation. More like four. I can get to almost anyone in four steps or less. The more people I meet, the fewer the degrees separate me from the rest of the world.
Take this semester for example: Last spring I needed a fourth class to add to my schedule. I had had Professor Quigley for my intro to PR class and had loved him so I looked to see if he was teaching any other classes. He was – Special Topics: Interactive PR. Translation = new media. One of the first classes, Amanda mentioned PodCamp. She then told the class about Twitter. It took her a while to convince me that it wasn't stalkerish, but I finally decided to give it a whirl. And what a reception! By the time PodCamp rolled around, meeting people like Bryan Person and Laura Fitton aka Pistachio in person for the first time, was like reuniting with an old friend. Through them I have met others; I've gotten advice from new grads like Yianni Garcia, guidance from Len Edgerly, had my eyes opened to a whole new world of possibilities by Jeff Pulver, and have had a whole lot of laughs with Steve Garfield.
I recent wrote a post on my personal blog Thru My Green Eyes about my New Media Friends and how they are the strongest community in my life. I didn't "network" in order to get a job, but to make friends. And I have. I've also made some great job related connections through those friends.
So, "networking" may have a bad rap, but getting out there, and getting to know people is the best thing you can do. Even though I am always one of the youngest people in the room, I have been greeted with arms wide open.
So. Party, give book suggestions, ask questions, have dinner, tweet, link, and everything else in between.

College Kids Party; I Network
It's no secret that college students party.
That said, I don't think enough students, especially students who want to go into the communications business, understand that partying can be useful for boosting their personal brand. In my previous post, you'll notice that the professionals who left comments stressed the importance of building a network early in your career path. My advice to my fellow college students: if you know you like to party, USE it.
Maybe it's just me, but I'd much prefer to go out to a bar with a group of like-minded, passionate, exciting people from whom I can learn than to a frat party where underaged drunk people are wandering around aimlessly, spilling beer on the floor. I'm not saying that college students shouldn't go to big crazy parties and trendy clubs with their peers. (IMHO, you absolutely should have those experiences.) However, it is extremely beneficial and FUN to step outside of the college-kid stereotype and "party" with people who can teach you new things and advise you in your career/life path. When I'm at parties with professional people I admire, I may be having a few drinks, and I not be acting the way I would in an interview, but I am building one hell of a strong network.
When you're at a bar or a party, you tend to let loose a little and show your true colors, right? Well, I think that's what's going to get you places. Show off who you actually are to people who can help you in your career. Be social, be authentic, be fun. People will notice that you're not just the average college student, and that really pays off when you're searching for a first job or your next competitive internship. In this business, it's so much better to be a real person who's out there having fun than a random interviewee smiling and holding a resume.
And here's some extra proof. My e-friend Justin Kownacki told me that when he's interviewing potential hires, he WANTS to find some party pics of them on Facebook and Flickr. When people invite you to events and pose for pictures with you, it means they probably know your name and they may even like you. You're a smart, savvy student. You have interesting things to say, a ton to contribute, and, oh yeah, you like to go out on the weekends.
If you're going to party anyway (and let's face it–you are), why not do it with smart, connected industry pros? In my book, networking is the new night on the town.

How am I dealing with it? Trials, Tribulations and Advice
I am the CEO of me. Chris Brogan told me that. Many others have asked me "what's your brand?" What are the three or four word that synthesize "you"? When Googled, do you know what comes up about you? When I asked the group attending the new media job search session at PodCamp Boston 2 what advice they had for me as I begin my hunt for life-after-school, I was told to create a marketing campaign — with ME as the product.
I knew that a cover letter is supposed to "sell" you, but is a marketing campaign a little over-kill? In the world of new media — the answer is unequivocally no. But making a campaign about yourself is much easier said than done (to be cliche). During a traditional job hunt, you figure out what you might be interested in doing, find a position that offers that, then try to figure out what the employer wants from you and you try to package yourself in a way to make yourself look like you fit the part regardless of whether you actually do or not. That seems so easy compared to what it seems I'm up against now. I actually have to know who I am. Three or four little words that synthesize the essence that is me.
I attended Jeff Pulver's Real time social media breakfast this morning. I knew in advance that upon arriving at S&S Restaurant and Deli in Cambridge I would have to fill out a name tag. Normally this would not be cause for panic. I have long known what my name is and even how to spell it. But this name tag required an extra piece of info: a tag-line. I needed a tag-line for myself. The horror. I fretted over this for hours last night and it finally came to me while my Herbal Essences Defunkify Shampoo tingled my scalp (it is really quite an amazing feeling. you should try it): Maria Thurrell. SuperGeek – Here to save the world. A little cheeky (like me), geeky (also like me) and six words long (verbose – just like me). While I think that this fits me rather to the T, is this an image I want to present to possible future bosses? What does SuperGeek say to people who don't know me?
Jeff Pulver told me this morning that I need to figure out what it is that I am passionate about. But I already know, I exclaimed! New Media. Public Relations. Social Activism. Way too vague was his response. Uh oh. I thought I was doing pretty good. I have to narrow it down even further?! Maybe I don't want to grow up after all…
So, with all of this swimming around in my brain I am going to write the case study for my Organizational Structure class that is due at 6pm tonight and hope that somewhere between asleep and awake the answer will come. Or perhaps someone will clue me in.
If you know me, how would you describe me in 4 words or less (ok, I'll give you 6)?
November 12, 2007
How I found PR and other stories – Maria
For our first post, Amanda and I decided to write about how/why we decided to study PR at BU and where we hope our new found knowledge will lead us. So, this is my story.
I stumbled upon PR while doing volunteer work in southern India the winter between sophomore and junior year (I took two years off from college to travel). At that time, I only had a vague, Hollywood induced idea of what PR entailed. I'm sure I had heard the term before, but probably couldn't have define it. While staying in Auroville, I became involved in the planning and running of a UNESCO sponsored conference — Youth for Human Unity. It was love at first sight. I began asking people, "what is this called and how can I do it for the rest of my life?" The resounding response was Public Relations. That is when I began looking for a program to transfer to (I attended Vassar College for my first two years). I found BU, applied, was accepted, and am now finishing my third semester in the public relations program (I graduate in May).
For as long as I can remember I have known that my purpose in life is to make a difference in the global community. Until recently I wasn't sure how I was going to accomplish this as it seemed to me that a lot of PR had to do with consumer goods. I thought I would have to work for a non-profit, or find an agency that takes on non-profit clients. For reasons that I can't explain, this didn't seem like it would be enough for me. Then I discovered new media. Again, it was love at first sight.
My intentions for after graduation is to find a position in which I will be furthering social causes via my PR and new media skills. Hopefully, I will find this position before graduation *hint hint* At this time, agency work looks very appealing as I love fast-paced environments and multi-tasking.
So, that is me. Tales of my journey in pursuit of saving the world (and finding a job) to follow.

Health Minister Mary Harney has defended her use of expenses while on a FÁS trip to the US.
Minister Harney said she led the trip as Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise and was 'not on holiday'.
She said she did not use tax-payers money for personal grooming, and any official expenses she claimed were on the basis of advice.
Minister Harney said she fully supported the Public Accounts Committe investigation and when she was given information on the issue anonymously, she forwarded it to the gardaí.
She said the board had acted 'honourably and thoroughly'.
Asked whether the use of the Government jet for the trip was appropriate, she said that decision was made by the Taoiseach.
She acknowledged that she met a relative while in the US for an hour, but she said the entire programme was organised by FÁS and that relative had travelled a considerable distance to meet her.
Tánaiste and Enterprise Minister Mary Coughlan has said the board of FÁS have assured her that action has been taken in relation to the expenses controversy.
Minister Coughlan met six board members earlier today after returning from a trade mission in Dubai.
Labour Party leader Eamon Gilmore has claimed that there is a cosy circle involving FÁS and senior ministers who provide its funding.
He also told the party's conference that it was time for the Health Minister to step down because of her performance.
Elsewhere, Minister Mary Hanafin has defended visits by herself and four other ministers to Florida in less than three years.
The Minister said the Kennnedy Space Centre Programme they visited was only open to Ireland and should not be lost.
Speaking to RTÉ News, she said that she had travelled as Minister for Education and Science to the Kennedy Space Centre to present certificates to Irish graduates who returned to Ireland to do doctorates and masters degrees in science.
She said: 'This is the future of this country. Any way we can get to encourage science and to do it at the very top level, I think that's a great opportunity for this country.'

The Friday letter to the editor from Cedar Shoals High School student Corwin Weik opposing the possibility of a Walmart in downtown Athens shows an ignorance of the problems of less-fortunate people who have to walk wherever they go.
Walking two miles to the grocery store and two miles back carrying the week's groceries is not a pleasant stroll. The Walmarts already located in and near Athens-Clarke County are more that a couple of miles from many who have to walk to buy groceries and other items.
As a former physical education teacher, I offer an assignment to the students in the Cedar Shoals High School class who wrote letters to the editor regarding the possibility of a downtown Walmart: Walk two miles, pick up a 10-15 pound package, and walk back to their starting point. If this is done daily, the students' physical fitness will be remarkably enhanced.

Tlaero is pretty active on this site so I expect she will respond soon. In the meantime, you should be aware that there is no "part 2" for Redemption for Jessika. RfJ is actually the second game in a multiple game series. The first was Dreaming with Elsa. Next came RfJ and we are now waiting for the third game titled Finding Miranda. I seem to remember tlaero saying that will be out in the early part of next year.

In honor of both The Bucket List, the new movie starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman (pictured) as terminally-ill road-trippers, and the fact that there's very little to write about between Christmas and New Year's, we ask you: What do you want to see, hear, read, or experience before you kick it? Feel free to dream big like my friend Sheila, who just said "I wanna see David Beckham's naked body on my bed before I die. That, my friends, is entertainment." Or, make your to-dos somewhat realistic, like those that at the start of my much-abbreviated list:
• Attend a concert at the Hollywood Bowl in LA.
• Listen to Steve Martin's comedy albums.
• See a Montgomery Clift movie on the big screen. Preferably Red River at a drive-in.
• Introduce a daughter or a niece to Buffy the Vampire the Slayer — and watch her "get it." Ditto for NewsRadio.
• Randomly meet Michael Bublé at a karaoke bar when I'm drunk enough to suggest that we duet — and he's far enough gone to do it.
• Stand behind Tim McGraw.
• Track down whoever was going to write My Best Friend's Divorce, the sequel to My Best Friend's Wedding, and find out what would have happened.
• Force the phrase "nut guard" to catch on.
• Read Katie Holmes' autobiography.

You've heard that a bumblebee is aerodynamically

Do you advisement a bumblebee has detected this gossip? Did the bumblebees draw together and
quit flying?
We've likely all detected a account of nation overcoming immeasurable difficulties.
Think in the order of the character existence told by doctors that they'll ne'er walk again and then
a few chapters following we brainstorm out they ran the Boston Marathon two age subsequent.
There are lots books roughly creating self
There are a brace of historic belongings to cognise since you initiate "working" on
self sureness. (It will dictate effort...)
The reconstruction of self self-confidence comes from inside and it comes from
knowing open within yourself that YOU have achieved in the past, or someone
you can place with has, and YOU have the latent to bring about anything.
Question: What have you achieved in the past?
Think more or less the things you've achieved in the past, property like
learning a subject matter at university (learning is an achievement,
although the fellow/teacher is within to back up by providing
you near the tools, it's YOU that chooses to payoff that knowledge
on piece of wood and swot up from it), delivery up your child, exploit a
job you wanted, purchase friends in a new town you've emotional to.
STOP: If you're throb your head, you've SURVIVED to day of the month and
a lot of remaining family haven't. What have you done to linger animate.
(That one ever get's 'em...)
YOU did those things, because YOU had the soon-to-be to do them.
Take a flash to savour that fact, it feels devout informed that you
were the plea.
You chose to net those things take place.
You as well had some other choices.
you could have fixed not to acquire at college. You could have established
to turn a solitary person and not clear those friends. You could have
decided you couldn't be daunted to go for that job even though you hot it
... but you didn't.
Be owing a favour that you have the potential to kind those decisions.
Choose not to be repentant any of the decisions that could not have
worked out for you. That's tail end of fashioning decisions.
Successful ancestors engender a LOT of decisions and a LOT of them are false.
It makes no difference. (You should acclivity the conclusion devising function
if it's defective!)
Use the bad decisions, or, the well-mannered decisions that upside-down out bad (NOT the
same item) as the saying stepping stones.
In giant part, who you are is the outcome of your decisions.
They are the explanation that you are who you are present.
Look say you at population you see as successful, in what way
are they distinguishable to you?
We suspire the aforesaid air, we have the said opportunities. Some
of us select to rob them, others single out not to. Where would
you instead be?
Let glorious family inspire you> they can carry out great
things and so can you.
What inspires you?
Think astir the holding that provoke you.
Is it the view of having fame, acceptance, money, family, inspiration?
Let them keep on to be an prompt to you and be grateful that these
things are in attendance to trailblazer you.
Know that you have the future to bring in your dreams move correct.

My approach to treating patients
I've been practicing orthopaedic surgery in Rochester, NY, since 1995. Common problems I treat include:
- fractures
- shoulder tendonitis and rotator cuff tears
- tennis elbow
- carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger fingers
- knee pain and arthritis
- bunions and other foot problems.
I specialize in treating patients with osteoarthritis, and optimize the benefits of treatments that are less invasive than joint replacement surgery. (I don't do joint replacements as part of my practice.) We'll talk about what's best for you, now and for the future, including exercises, medications, injections, braces, and surgery.
I want you to take an active role in your care; I take time to educate you about your condition and to focus the treatment on your health and lifestyle. My goals are to relieve your pain, and restore function and quality of life.
I've written Know Your Bones: Making Sense of Arthritis Medicine. to help my patients understand the WHAT and WHY of joint pain, so you'll realize HOW different medicines work, WHEN to take them, and WHICH is right for you.

Over the last three days, countries around the world have been publishing their manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) reports.
And the message around the world is clear: manufacturing activity decelerated sharply in April.
The U.S. and China are growing marginally, but both decelerated. Europe continues to be in sharp contraction. And even Germany saw its manufacturing sector begin to contract in April.
According to JP Morgan, the global manufacturing PMI fell to 50.5 in April, down from 51.1 in March.
A reading above 50 signals expansion.
"The rate of expansion decelerated slightly during April, meaning that growth so far in 2013 has remained, at best, only marginal," they wrote. "This is still an improvement compared to the contractions signalled throughout much of the second half of last year."
"April saw manufacturing production increase at the slowest rate in the year-to-date, as growth of new order inflows also slipped to a near-stagnant pace. New export orders posted a marginal gain for the second month running in April."

It just seems like yesterday that I was writing up last weeks Planet design page, and here we are again. Still finding it hard to shake this cold, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel thank goodness. So what do we have this week? Well strangely enough a fair mix of residential and homes ideas, I found myself on Saturday just gone trying to sort out an awful lot of big black and white prints for 1 wall in the new apartment, and I end up with a whole bunch of images and ideas on that, so expect to see some here. Then I found a new vein of overseas holiday destinations that I would love to go to, so they are here too. And then just a whole bunch of design images that you may find interesting. It's quite strange in that we have had a number of clients who have mentioned to us that they want something just like what was on your blog. This entire progress towards total open plan, and Co-Lab areas with sit stand casual meeting spaces, straight desks, lockers, and hot desking has really taken hold, so it's quite interesting to note that a lot of people are really looking for vibrant alive solutions to the next generation of offices, and support spaces.
I just purchased a Japanese stool for my own shower, you should try it ( not mine, the idea), it is fantastic
BBC Scotlands idea of using the open spaces between the buildings as meeting spaces is well done.
That grey is popping up everywhere.
And to finish off for this week, an image from the 30's. How stylish is this.
So that's all for this week. Hope you enjoyed it, and hopefully from it got an idea to do something, Excuse my rant in the middle, but that's how I feel. If your going to do something do it properly, employ a great design team ( I know of one) and do fantastic things not only for the people you work with, but for the business that you work in. You will be rewarded.

YASSOU, a six-piece, post-pop band from San Francisco that got its start at Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School, is collaborating with the Louisville Ballet in celebration of the Kentucky company's 65th anniversary. The band scored an original composition for artistic director Robert Curran's new piece, "How They Fade," an exploration of nostalgia. Curran tapped the band after seeing one of their videos, "To Sink." This is the first original ballet for Curran since joining the company in 2014.
The band features alumni Lilie Bytheway Hoy '09, James Jackson '09 and Theo Quimby '11, as well as drummer Patrick Aguirre (Sierra Waldorf School alum), bassist A.J Krumholz, and guitarist Van Jackson Weaver.
Another HVWS alumnus and cellist, Julian Muller is co-composer of "How They Fade." Muller studied at the Cleveland Institute of Music for his undergraduate degree and currently attends the Mannes School of Music in New York City.
The ballet premiered at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts in Louisville on September 9th and 10th. The band performed its 20-minute piece live with Hoy singing on stage with the dancers performing around her. The other members of the band joined the Louisville Orchestra in the pit, performing their original composition for Curran's premiere. The program also includes works by Balanchine, Philip Glass and Twyla Tharp.

Storage System(3)
FLSmidth specializes in storage systems for cement and other dry bulk materials. Whether your requirements are large or small - FLSmidth equipment can do the job
Ful-Floor™ Fluidized Reclaim
- Flexible - fill and reclaim simultaneously
- Low-maintenance - just blowers and air control valves.
- Safe - there's never a reason to enter a partially filled dome or silo
- Minimal floor slope requirement - usually 8 to 10 degrees
- Increased cleanout efficiency - up to 99%
- Dependable - no moving parts inside the dome or silo
- Turnover - First-in / first-out reclaim for effective stock rotation
- High-Capacity reclaim and transfer - up to 800 TPH
Our Ful-Floor™ reclaim systems use industry proven FLSmidth Airslide® fabric anchored to nearly 100% of the floor area. Imbedded aeration troughs and piping eliminate restrictions that can inhibit material flow. The results: complete reclaim of your stored material with minimal floor slope, low average power and low maintenance.
With no moving parts inside the storage area, a Ful-Floor™ is your BEST reclaim solution for domes, flat storage warehouses and flat-bottom silos.
Airslide® Aeration Unit Packages
Each Airslide® Aeration Unit Package consists of standard FLSmidth 8-inch (200 mm) open type Airslide® conveyor units in lengths of 5 and 10 feet (1.5 and 3 m) depending on the slope length of the conical storage area. Each package consists of three or six Airslide® conveyor units for layout as three or six spoke patterns. Three spoke patterns are normally used with materials which have good fluidizable characteristics. Six spoke patterns provide maximum aeration for difficult materials which can be fluidized.
Airslide® conveyor units have been successfully used in handling fine, dry materials such as cement, gypsum, soda ash, fly ash and dusts, barites, bentonite, hydrated lime, ground limestone, ground ores, alumina, alumina hydrate, catalysts, silica, phosphates, talc, detergent and soap powder, calcined magnesite and other materials. Material should be generally no less than 40 percent passing 200 mesh.
Each unit is a standard 8-inch (200 mm) Airslide® conveyor unit [10-inch (250 mm) installation width] constructed of fabricated steel plate covered with a specially woven polyester fabric which can handle materials up to 350°F (175°C).
Air Supply
A source of clean, dry air is required. Minimum SCFM for each package is listed. Pressures should be 3 - 5 PSIG (.21 - .35 Kg/cm2) minimum at the aeration unit. Blower units, such as Sutorbilt/Roots blower units offered by FLSmidth, are a reliable, economical source of air for the aeration packages.
Floor-mounted aeration units are normally used for installation on the flat or sloping floor of silos and are constructed with a pressed steel casing into which the aeration plate is cemented.
Flange-mounted aeration units employ a cast iron casing with flanged face for surface mounting on the bin cone or slope sheets.
Both types utilize a porous ceramic plate as the basic aeration element and are fitted with standard pipe connections to admit the fluidizing air.
The aeration units can be used with materials up to 400°F (200°C). Units also feature replaceable filter elements for greater economy.
Air requirements:15 cfm (0.42 cmm) at 3 psi (0.21 Kg/cm2)
The Fullerator™ aeration pad solves even the most difficult material flow problems by combining aeration with vibration. The rubber pad creates an aggressive vibration on the vessel floor or wall as the result of airflow. Vibration is very effective to enhance flow for all types of dry bulk materials.
The general arrangement drawing provided illustrates the approximate location and usage of standard equipment items available for pneumatic trailer unloading operations. All items are size for use on 4-inch (100 mm) I.D. pipeline.
Filters offered are UNI-FILTER dust collectors which are open-bottom and flanged for easy installation on the roof of storage areas. Normally, these filters are selected on the basis of fan capacity of the collector being approximately twice the truck blower capacity. Standard unit sizes 2FM, 3FM and 4FM can satisfy most intermittent filtering requirements. The Watch-dog Timer should be specified for the appropriate voltage to control collector cleaning cycle.
Piping including the standard 4-foot (1.2 m) radium pipe bend is 4-inch (100 mm) diameter Schedule 40 black steel pipe. Straight sections are for use with 4-inch (100 mm) Standard 150# slip on flanges. Specify number and quantity of each item desired Quick disconnect couplings for the silo conveying line should be selected on the basis of the trailer fitting matching male to female or vice versa. Male adapters use a cover. Female adapters use a dust plug.
UNI-FILTER No. 2FM with 200 sq. ft. polyester cloth 1/3 HP 230/460 V. 3 Ph. 60 Hz. TENV Shaker Gearmotor U-11 Arr. 4 Fan 800 CFM at 6.00" W.G. bottom horiz. fan motor 2 HP 230/460 V. 3 Ph. 60 Hz. TEFC T-frame. Fan includes discharge damper.

Undone, Unsaid
The prayer that's left unsaid:
Like a letter that's unwritten
Like a book that lies unread,
Like a field unploughed,untended
is a prayer that's left unsaid.
Though God knows
The thoughts and wishes
That are secrets of the heart,
Yet the prayer must still be uttered,
For his healing power to start….
Though at times
We might neglect him
And refuse to hear his call….
When we think we don't need Him
Then we need Him most of all….
There are lessons all around us
In the skies- the sea -the sun,
In the flight of every sparrow
"Let thy will be done."
But we turn our hearts to pleasure
And the wealth we reap is care.
We forget the answers
Are the ones we find in prayer.
Let's resolve to write that letter
Read the book we've laid aside,
Tend the field, and reap the harvest
Of humility and pride
And we'll find
our cares and worries
Will be be turned to joys instead,
For we'll never
Close our hearts to Him
And leave our prayer unsaid.

I had found a length of 1/2" stainless all thread studding long enough, with nuts and lock washers, I had also found some bronze plate 3/8" thick and some teak 1" thick by 4" wide. Then I drilled a hole right through the boat and knight heads, third plank down, cut the bronze in too and drilled 1/2" hole in each, cut teak in too as well for battens with a 1/2" slot. Assembled all this on the all thread rod, and hammered it through the hull, then tightened the nuts up really hard, this pulled all the planks back tight to the hull, success. That took me all day to achieve, and will have to be fixed properly later.

Sunday 21st
I made a repair to the running backstay fitting, I took the old one out and had to re drill a new hole in an adjacent plank, for a different fitting, with a batten under the deck to spread the load, and bronze plate, this will have to be fixed as well later. After I finished that about 1700hrs I went ashore to relax a bit.
Monday 22nd
Tidied the boat up again and tried to clear customs, every time I went there it was closed, so failed.
Tuesday 23rd
A very bad storm all day prevented me from leaving the boat to go ashore, read a book about the Caribbean pirates and storms of the past, didn't quite help with my present frame of mind.
Wednesday 24th
Quite a good days weather so decided to leave again, tried to clear customs 3 times with it shut each time. Took the decision to leave anyway and left at 1600hrs bound for St Lucia with a serious amount of trepidation as to the outcome.
All went pretty well but forecast wasn't that good, and the actual weather wasn't good either. Battled my way down Guadalupe and out into the passage on course for Dominica, made that and the bow was holding as was the running backstay, even more of a battle down behind Dominica and eventually I had to hoist the big jib to get more to windward. Then out past Dominica into the sea again towards Martinique, I made that just as it went dark about 1830hrs, but the weather had calmed a lot and I flew past quickly, arrived at the passage to St Lucia at 0100hrs Thursday 25th.
This was with only 24 Nm to go to Rodney bay, I decided to heave too on the same tack and wait for morning, during this manoeuvrer the port sheet lead pulled out of the deck fitting and I had to tie the sheet to a cleat, but once back on port tack I wouldn't need it any more, with boat speed now only 1 to 2 knts and me being very tiered I put the alarm on for an hour and had a kip. When it woke me I came on deck to check around, I had gone nearly a mile, that's all, so went back to bed, when I woke up again it was 0500hrs dawn was just starting to happen, I had traveled only 2Nm during that time. I tightened the steering gear up cos it had come loose, then I blew the jib, the boat took off like a greyhound out of the trap and accelerated to 8 knts towards St Lucia, I made it there just after 0900hrs, dropped the sails and proceeded to the marina were I was put on the 'D' dock number 24.
So here I am safe in port again a week late but a survivor again with more stories to tell. Preparations will start on Monday next for installing the new engine while I relax for the weekend.

for the kart you bought, your better suited for TAG, HPV (think its called something diff now)
I personally wouldnt go chonda i would do LO206 but the 50 mm axel might not give you the flex you will need. but thats my opinion. I know David has been karting a lot longer then me.
Also I you dont want to spend a gazillion on mychron, and you have andriod phone, check out an app called track master. pretty powerfull data loger for a fraction of the cost.
When i get a new kart i set everything to neutral until i get consistent laps, then one or two adjust for 5 laps and see if the times got better.

I am always looking for creative {and simple} ways to bring color and life to a space so I was truly inspired when I discovered U.K. based Mr. Perswall wall papers! You can chose from their very cool collection or create your own designs and you can even install the easy-up paper on your own. It is so exciting to see a mod take on a classic design element and as a decorator I have worked with lots and lots of more traditional wall papers but what I really love is how unusual and quirky these patterns are - I can hardly tell many of them are wall coverings at all! Lots have a wonderful industrial or vintage feel that I just love - the perfect antidote to newly constructed interiors with too many white walls!
Do you have any favorites?
My favorites are the first and the last! You can find more info here. . .

Now it looks like Heston Blumethal, the celebrity chef and owner of The Fat Duck in Bray, could repeat the feat with his new 'hidden sauce figgy pudding'.
The traditional figgy puddings, which contain a 'hidden' ball of toffee sauce in the middle, went on sale in Waitrose earlier this week for £14.99 each.
However the limited edition puddings are already selling on eBay for up to £60 under the 'buy it now' option, four times the retail price.
The pudding is described as a "classic moist Christmas pudding packed with juicy vine fruits from Turkey and Californian Mission figs". It contains English cider, French brandy and a secluded bomb of runny toffee.
The chain has made around 50,000 of the items but expexts sales to be brisk.
Andrea Watson, the brand manager of the Heston from Waitrose range, said: "We are predicting that this new pudding from Heston is going to be as popular as the Hidden Orange Christmas pudding. Heston's new twist on a traditional Christmas pudding filled with a delicious toffee sauce is a great centrepiece for any Christmas dinner."
When Waitrose started selling Mr Blumenthal's 'hidden orange' pudding in 2010 the chain's entire supply of 25,000 puddings sold out within weeks. The following year, Waitrose quadrupled the numbers made and they sold out again.
This year the supermarket has trebled the production of 'hidden orange' puddings once again.
A mini version, the 'hidden clementine' pudding, was also launched last year and saw strong sales.
As well as the 'hidden sauce figgy pudding', the Michelin-starred chef has designed another new festive product for the retailer this year – a Christmas cake in the shape of a Christmas pudding.

It's normal to have a lot of questions about how a vasectomy might impact sex, scarring, and libido. Here are some of the most common ones:
No. The procedure works by preventing sperm from mixing with semen, but because it doesn't affect hormone production there should be no change in sex drive after a vasectomy. Nor should there be any change in ejaculate. Sperm comprise only 2 to 5 percent of the fluid released at ejaculation, so removing them has little to no effect on the volume, appearance, color, or consistency of seminal fluid. (According to one study, cigarette smoking appears to have more of an effect on semen volume than a vasectomy.)
Does a vasectomy lower testosterone levels?
No. Although testosterone is produced in the testes--the same organ that generates sperm--the connection ends there. Sperm must be transported through the vas deferens to the seminal vesicles, where they're mixed with fluids to create semen. Testosterone, on the other hand, is secreted from the testes directly into the bloodstream and its production and release is completely unaffected by the vasectomy procedure.
Does ejaculation after a vasectomy feel different?
Because the volume of semen changes so little, and because hormone production and the associated pathways remain the same, ejaculation after a vasectomy should feel no different than it did before. You should still experience just as much pleasure from orgasm, and should not notice a change in quality, intensity, sensitivity or duration of orgasm after the procedure.
How long until I can resume sex after a vasectomy?
Your testicles will continue to produce sperm after a vasectomy, but now instead of mixing with semen they are mostly reabsorbed by the body or travel through the vas deferens tube until they reach the blockage and can't go any further. Sperm can also build up in the epididymis, and when this happens small blockages and scarring can occur. (But this rarely causes symptoms and men are usually unaware that this is happening.)
It can take six weeks or longer--between 10 and 20 ejaculations--for the sperm remaining in the unblocked portion of the vas tube to be completely reabsorbed or eliminated via ejaculation. Your physician will perform the first sperm-count test about six weeks after the surgery and will continue to do them until your sperm count is zero. Until then, you or your partner should continue to use some other form of contraception.
Physicians usually suggest waiting until a week or two after the procedure before resuming normal sexual activity--basically, until you are comfortable and can ejaculate without pain. But keep in mind: It will take additional time before your sperm count is zero, and until then it's still possible to get someone pregnant. It's important to use an alternate form of birth control until a semen analysis confirms that there are no sperm in your ejaculate. The first semen analysis is usually first obtained at the two- to three-month mark. If any sperm are present, your urologist will continue testing your semen until it's completely sterile. Click here for more information about what to expect after the vasectomy procedure.
Does the vasectomy procedure leave scars?
No. Vasectomies leave virtually no scar or noticeable difference to the feel or appearance of the scrotum.
Can a vasectomy make you more or less susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases?
Sexually transmitted diseases are transferred in body fluids, such as saliva or semen, and vasectomy surgery does not alter your ability to transmit or contract any of these infections. Use a condom if there is a potential risk for either partner to contract an STD.
Does the first time ejaculating after a vasectomy hurt?
No, most men do not experience pain when ejaculating the first time after their vasectomy surgery. The scrotum itself may still be sensitive, but the procedure itself does not create any circumstances that would cause discomfort with first ejaculation.
Some men experience a condition called post-vasectomy pain syndrome, which occurs when sperm backs up into the epididymis and causes discomfort on ejaculation, but such a side effect is relatively uncommon. (Click here for more information on side effects.)

Feng Chia library provides its students with many learning resources. Of course, the school library is the location of most of these resources. The FCU library contains many books, newspapers and magazines. Whenever I have free time, I like to go "window shopping" among the magazines because there really is a lot to choose from.
|All photos by the author
The magazines at the FCU library are located on two different floors. In the basement, you will find magazines about learning and news. Some of the learning magazines are about language learning, and some are academic journals. The news magazines cover both national and international news. All the magazines in this room are on metal shelves, and there are traditional desks and wooden chairs between the windows and book shelves where you can sit and read. Whatever you want to learn about, there is a magazine that is just right for you.
On the library's third floor, you will find magazines for leisure reading – monthly comic books, news about media stars, and magazines about travel. The magazines in this area are on wooden shelves and there are lots of comfortable stuffed chairs.
Because this area is for leisure reading, there are no study tables or hard chairs. It's a great place to read for fun or just take a rest.
The FCU library has at least one magazine on just about every topic. However, if you can't find what you want, just go talk to the person at the service desk. If the library doesn't have the magazine you want, you fill out a form and suggest that the library subscribe to it. That's how students at Feng Chia University student get their favorite magazines in the FCU library!

This little chap was a spare that Richard had and passed to me for use in my Western Desert Force.
I think it is a Quality Castings model - it is certainly all cast metal.
It was in a black undercoat and I painted it in VJ Desert Yellow.
After I found out that was the wrong colour, I over painted in VJ Dark Sand.
I was happy with the colour and decided to try out some insignia.
The transfers I had were going to be too big so I had a go at hand painting them.
I've gone back through my messages.
These were indeed a Xmas present from my niece, Breeze, back in 2012.
There are some Bren Carriers as well (almost finished, just need to repaint them Dark Sand).
Like the Quad I'd painted these Desert Yellow (over a brown undercoat)
and then corrected by overpainting Dark Sand.
I liked them in Desert Yellow and luckily I still like them with the Dark Sand overcoat.
Again I couldn't decide on transfer or hand painting insignia,
so they have gone without for now.
I do love the rivets!
They had been super glued and then reinforced with some careful layers of PVA glue,
decoupage style.
After thinking about making my own sandbags,
I went with two terrain features that I had picked up at the club.
Background to that can be read here.
The other gun in the pair.
The wheels are not fixed, but everything else is glued in place.
The model base is sandstone over Tamiya Dark Earth (my stock standard for basing).
However the terrain piece is sandstone over red earth,
which is the same colours as used on the mat.
I figure these will make nice objective markers,
AA batteries protecting supply dumps.
It took some thought on how to get the best out of these two bits,
but then I hit on the idea of making a sabot.
The sandbags are VJ Buff over Tamiya red brown
with a final wash of Nulon Oil (or some such silly named black wash)
I tried a few materials for the sabots until I settled on some cardboard.
It was the right thickness and easy to cut.
I coated it in PVA glue and then the red earth undercoat for protection.

How To Avoid Family Conflicts This Christmas
There are very few families who don't experience conflicts around Christmas time. Funny how this time of the year brings up all the grievances and control issues that have occurred between family members over the past. Leading psychologist Dr Mary Casey has some great tips to help you avoid any drama these holidays.
I love this because quite often the biggest problem is that we are so quick to talk about family members and get involved in what we think they should do and shouldn't do. What they do is none of your business and vice versa. Allow them to do what is meaningful to them and you do what is important to you.
Keep the real spirit of Christmas in mind
That is to celebrate the spiritual side by being understanding, non-judging, caring and loving. Try and see situations in another light. Where you might think someone is being nasty, see it as though they need to most love.
Don't buy into any family members conflicts that don't concern you
Quite often we think we are being kind and supporting but the truth is that people need to sort their own stuff. Let family members sort it between themselves.
Put it away
Make a decision to put any grievances you may have until after the season is over. Chances are that you will forget most of it by then anyway.
Mary has over 30 years' experience in health and education and specialises in counselling and personal development. She is founder and CEO of the Casey Centre, a leading integrated health and education service with more than250 and 700 graduates a year in three centres across NSW. Visit www.caseycentre.com.au.
