AESYS Technologies: Advanced Boiler System Helps Ensure Clean Water in New York City
- 2-10-2014
- Categorized in: Energy , Environment & Sustainability
This great manufacturing, engineering, and construction story involving AESYS Technologies dates back to 2006, and is worth retelling because of the scope of the challenge that was met, and the importance of the product – clean water – involved in the project.
In New York City, the North River Water Pollution Control Plant was processing 170 million to 340 million gallons of raw sewage each day. Through the sludge-processing equivalent of wear and tear, the original process hot-water system pipes throughout the plant experienced serious corrosion and leaks. More than 10,000 gallons of hot water were being lost daily, and the plant was frequently forced into expensive piping system drain-downs to permit repairs to be made. The plant's boilers were fatigued after operating at temperature differentials beyond their design capability.
A project team was assembled involving the New York Power Authority, AESYS Technologies, Harris/AECOM, and Dynamic Mechanical Constructors. A project of this scope could easily have shut down processing for four to six years, but through careful coordination between the plant managers and the companies involved in the project, it was achieved with no interruption of service.
AESYS Technologies provided four new boilers with boiler feedwater/deaerator and condensate transfer systems, blowdown tanks, and chemical-feed systems. More than 25,000 feet of welded hot-water distribution piping were installed. New approaches to technical challenges were developed to address the specific requirements of this project. A deaerator system ensures feedwater oxygen removal to prevent future boiler corrosion.
The result is a low-pressure process steam-boiler plant controlled by a programmable lead-lag control system, with optimal operational-system redundancy going forward.

Los Angeles cop convicted in hit-and-run sent to prison for evaluation
A Los Angeles police officer convicted of leaving the scene of an accident in a 2008 hit-and-run was sent to state prison for 90 days Tuesday to undergo an evaluation that could determine his sentence, a prosecutor said.
Prosecutors are seeking a two-year prison term for Officer William J. Skett, who was convicted of striking two pedestrians as he was backing up his Hummer in a Saugus parking lot and then leaving the scene. Skett was convicted in October after a jury deliberated for 2 1/2 days.
Jurors, however, were divided on a charge of driving under the influence, causing injury. And they acquitted the officer of a third felony count, driving with blood-alcohol level of 0.08%.
Skett was arrested at his home an hour after the pedestrians were struck.
Prosecutors say the delay in arresting the officer meant they were unable to debunk Skett's claim that his blood-alcohol level was elevated because he drank once he got home after the incident.
Skett denied he was driving the car.
Witnesses said they saw Skett's vehicle hit a man and a woman at 2:30 a.m. as he backed out of a parking space in a lot near a restaurant and bar.
Prosecutors alleged that Skett got out of his vehicle, saw the injured victims and sped from the parking lot near Bouquet Canyon and Soledad Canyon roads, abandoning his Hummer after leaving the area.
One of the pedestrians, Susan Sims, then 62, suffered multiple broken ribs and collapsed lungs. The unidentified 65-year-old man suffered minor cuts and bruises.
Sheriff's deputies quickly traced the abandoned Hummer to Skett. He denied he had been behind the wheel, they said.
Sims' son, Deputy Dist. Atty. Jon Hatemi, told The Times after the incident that Skett was a "coward" and "disgrace to the Police Department."

Dates - the Desert's Candy
It's surprising how much there is to know about a single, little food item. Take the ancient, often overlooked in Western cultures, date palm. Who would have thought it could be so remarkable?
The date palm is possibly the oldest cultivated plant of all, dating back to 4,000 BCE. Archeological evidence shows that the trunks of date palms were used in the construction of the Moon Temple in Ur in the time of the Mesopotamians. The palm was coveted for more than just being a practical building material or for its ability to stop desertifaction. Most importantly it was revered because of its fruit, one of the most prized of all delicacies in the Arab world.
How the ancients came to fully understand this contradictory plant is still a mystery. Somehow through the ages men learned how to cultivate this temperamental plant and exploit it to their advantage. There are many tricky aspects of date cultivation not least of which is just keeping the plants alive. The date palm is a desert plant but requires hundreds of gallons of water. The Arab expression is: "A date palm must have it's feet in the water and its head in the fire of the sun." In commercial production date groves are flooded in up to ten feet of water. While these palms demand hundreds of gallons of ground water, rain is extremely harmful to the fronds, trunks and fruit hence our vision of them forming the shade of oases. They also provide protection from harsh winds and provide insulation from the cold. The nutrient and sugar dense date sustained many desert peoples and remains an extremely important subsistence crop.
Though dates are widely cultivated, no truly wild plant has ever been found. Its progenitor is believed to be Phoenix reclinata Jacq from tropical Africa, or Phoenix sylvestris (L). Roxb. from India, or a hybrid between these two. Both these species have palatable, although inferior fruits. The difficulty with tracing the palm's lineage stems from the twofold method with which they reproduce. The most common manner is from the seed of a dropped date fruit. The seeds are drupes which are indigestible and are passed through the bellies of birds and other vertebrates large enough to ingest the fruit. Every time a drupe is dropped and sprouts an entirely new kind of date palm is created. No date tree grown from a seed is alike.
The other method is cultivation of sprouts that jut from the base of the date palm's trunk. This is the only method of reproduction that enables farmers to keep a pure varietal strain of date. A date palm will produce 10 to 25 offshoots near their base during the first 15 years of life. After that, no more. More bizarre is that male plants produce only males and females only spawn females.
It takes a female date palm over five years to begin bearing edible fruit, something it cannot do, of course without being pollinated. There is, however, no naturally adequate method of pollination for dates. Mankind has been hand-pollinating dates for over 3,500 years. On commercial date farms one male plant grows per acre. In the spring workers scale the trunk, collect the powdery pollen then scale the female palms and apply it directly to the buds. It is an extremely dangerous operation not just because date palms grow to be upwards of 100-120 feet, but because of the dangerous thorns that grow among the palm fronds. A female will only produce as many dates as she has green leaves. The lower the number of fronds, the lower the yield.
All this combines to make dates one of the world's most expensive crops.
The entirety of the date industry in the US is in or near Indio, California, a town about 20 miles south of Palm Desert and near the Salton Sea, the largest lake in California. (Local legend asserts that the lake was formed in 1905 when the Imperial Valley dike was breached. Water flowed over the dike for two years flooding the area and forming the lake. The truth is more prosaic. The Salton Basin has been either full of water or empty since the Pleistocene Age, or the time of the great glacial upheaval in what is now North America. It is true that the water found there today is from the breached dike.)
With the re-filling of the Salton Basin in the early 20th century the region boomed. Among the many arrivals were Floyd and Bess Shields who came to the area from Iowa and Kansas respectively, in the 1920s. The hot climate and the abundance of water made the valley a natural home for numerous exotic crops from citrus to figs to zapote to dates. Presently 95% of the domestically produced dates come from the Coachella Valley.
Shields Date Garden is open year-round where you can try one of their famous date shakes or view the film "The Romance and Sex Life of the Date".

Choosing dates:
High grade, top-quality dates are never sprayed with pesticide or treated with preservatives. Dates do not need to be refrigerated but, unlike most other fruits, keep best when frozen. They can be stored in air-tight containers for up to a year.
Dates ripen in four stages, which are known throughout the world by their Arabic names kimri (unripe), khalal (full-size, crunchy), rutab (ripe, soft), tamr (ripe, sun-dried).
Types of Dates:
There are numerous varieties of dates. The most commonly grown in the US are:
Deglet Noor: This cultivar comes in many grades. They are generally full, plump and have a lower moisture content but are not overly sticky. They are very soft when ripe.
Medjool: Much larger than other dates and very soft. The Medjool's roots can be traced back to the oases of Morocco. They are rare and deemed the best of all the date varieties. The word Medjool is Arabic for "unknown." In many Arab households Medjool dates are served on special occasions or offered to honored guests as a token of esteem.
Barhi: The softest of all dates and has a tannic skin reminiscent of persimmon.
Halawi: Characterized by thick flesh that is caramelly and extremely sweet.
Khadrawi: This is an "invert sugar" date. This means that they will crystalize the way honey might when left unused for a period of time.
Thoory (also known as the Bread Date): The most commonly consumed date in the Middle East. The less sweet and drier texture makes it one of the firmest of all varieties.
Zahidi: Small, firm dates. Low sugar content.
Other types of dates: Abbada, Aabel, Ajwah, Al-Barakah, Amir Hajj or 'Amer Hajj', Blond & Brunette (hybrid dates developed in California by Floyd Shields in Indio, CA), Derrie, Ftimi, Haleema, Hayany, Khadrawi, Khadrawy (Arabic: green), Khalasah, Khastawi, Maktoom, Manakbir, Migraf,Mgmaget Ayuob, Rotab, Sag'ai, Sayer (Arabic: common), Sekkeri, Sellaj, Tagyat, Tamej, Umeljwary, Umelkh.
The top 5 date producing countries are
Saudi Arabia
United Arab Emirates
These five countries account for 70% of global date production. Total date production worldwide is around 6 million tons annually.

HARRINGTON — New faces might bring new ideas for the city of Harrington.
Several positions have been filled in recent months, including the newest opening: city manager.
Don Williams is the most recent addition to city leadership, although he might be recognizable to many in Harrington.
Mr. Williams has lived in Harrington for 30 years. He spent the last nine years, however, working for the city of Milford in code enforcement and building inspection roles.
The position became available at the end of January as Terry Tieman resigned for a city manager position in Fenwick Island.
Code enforcement is now picking up speed within city limits thanks to new hire John Long.
Mr. Long came onboard in October and says he's made progress in cracking down on violations in the city.
One thing that sticks out to the code enforce ment officer the most in Harrington are a surprising amount of mattresses.
"I don't really know why there are so many, but they're kind of everywhere," he chuckled. "I'm trying to work on more city-wide cleanups to help."
Mr. Long said his door is always open for questions and concerns.
"If you're nearby, stop in. If I'm there, I'd be happy to talk with you," he said.
Jeremy Rothwell also recently joined Harrington's ranks in not only a new role, but a new position for the city, as well.
The city of Harrington previously worked with city planners contractually only. As the city looked toward growth, the Harrington City Council approved a full-time city planner position last year.
"I'm the first one," Mr. Rothwell acknowledged. "I'm someone to call every day of the week."
He said he hopes to continue the "good work the city is already doing" and gave credit to the previous planner, Debbie Pfeil, "for all the good work she's done."
He hopes to work on good customer service and create predictable development and review plans for both developers and the public.
"I really would like to see, and something the city wants to do more of, more advertising and recognition of the good work it's doing that its citizens don't really know about," he said.
As one suggestion, Mr. Rothwell mentioned ribbon cutting ceremonies hosted by the city of Harrington, which could come in handy soon.
A new Ambient Care center is planned for a location in Midway Shopping Center. A new adult day care might also be opening up in Harrington along with several national chain-businesses, he said.
"Harrington is, I think, poised to see a lot of new constructive growth. My job as a planner is to look out for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens. The question is: How do I do that and have the good of the developers in mind and have something everybody be proud of," he said.
Although Mr. Rothwell is from Maryland, he said "it was time for a planner," and he's glad he was the one chosen for the job.

According to CBS8 and Signonsandiego, a private security guard at an Apple Store shot a suspected armed intruder in the head.
Chula Vista police said three people smashed the window to break into the Apple Store in Otay Ranch Town Center early Monday and were confronted by an armed security guard, who shot one of the intruders in the head.The mortally injured man was found in the mall parking lot a short distance away, collapsed in his car, Chula Vista police said.
Two other suspects were apprehended after fleeing on foot. The smash and grab happened at 7am in the morning before any shoppers were present.
There are reports that 40 shots were fired in the exchange.
The male suspects and their alleged female accomplice then got into a silver Acura that crashed while still inside the shopping center's parking lot, Facicci said, noting that one of the men was driving and he died in the crash. He appears to have been killed by a bullet that went through the passenger window, Chula Vista Police said.

Microsoft is scheduled to release its second-quarter financial results this afternoon, for the period ended Dec. 31. Among other things, the numbers will reflect the sales of software and video games during the holiday shopping season.
But today's results come with a different twist: Microsoft is expected to delay the recognition of $1.5 billion in revenue from the second quarter to the third because of the Windows Vista upgrade discounts and coupons offered to PC buyers during the holidays. Accounting rules prevent the company from recognizing that revenue until people have a chance to use the upgrade offers.
See advance coverage by Bloomberg News and Reuters. I'll post a summary and links to the results later today.
Results: Revenue rose 6 percent, while profits fell 28 percent. The company ended up deferring more than $1.6 billion in revenue and more than $1.1 billion in profit, largely because of the Windows Vista and 2007 Office System upgrade programs. Microsoft CFO Chris Liddell said the company saw "encouraging signs of early demand" for those programs.
It's interesting to note what might have been, if Microsoft had been able to launch Windows Vista in stores in time for the holiday season, as originally planned. Without the deferral, revenue growth would have been nearly 20 percent for the quarter. Here's coverage by the AP and Bloomberg News.
More details to come later.

Leitrim councillors ban fracking
Councillors in Co Leitrim have voted to ban fracking – and have warned that they will be watching very closely what happens in neighbouring Co Fermanagh.
Leitrim County Council warned that, if use of the controversial drilling method is proposed, it will be calling on the authorities to carry out a comprehensive full life cycle health impact assessment, along with a full life cycle analysis of all possible cumulative and permanent negative effects.
This could have major implications for Co Fermanagh, where Tamboran Resources is proposing to carry out drilling in the Bundoran Shale, which takes in the south west of the county and Co Leitrim.
The company has said it believes it could begin commercial production as soon as 2016.
Tamboran says it is likely to need up to 60 multi wellpads with up to 24 wells per pad.
Each multi wellpad would be 2.6 hectares and the maximum surface land needed for the entire project would be about 150 hectares.
Last week around 100 protesters gathered outside a meeting of Fermanagh District Council to oppose fracking.

And presidential politics are big business. According to Business Insider, the cost of this year's presidential election is an incredible $6 billion. Let me give you a chance to catch your breath. That's right: billion! The cost is staggering to be sure, but now consider the opportunity costs: what we as a nation might have spent that money on (schools, hospitals, people on the East coast struggling to recover from Hurricane Sandy).
|From Nate Silver's blog, "538"
After all that money -- or perhaps because of all that money -- many media sources have declared that the race is a toss up. Pundit Joe Scarborough is quoted on WNYC's podcast On the Media as saying that "anybody who thinks that this race is anything but a toss up... is a joke."But he makes a living rendering daily opinions on the race. According to the New York Times blogger Nate Silver, this is just a story that newspapers and TV shows like to advance: "People want to pretend that someone wins the day and there are all these ups and downs and momentum and the roller coaster and games change are basically BS." Instead of celebrity posturing, Silver contends, we should put our trust in math. His view is that the statistical models are clear (and that Obama will win). We'll find out on Tuesday.
A different take on all this polling and posturing was offered on NPR's Weekend Edition. There, a University of Michigan economist named Justin Wolfers says "the pollsters are asking the wrong question." Rather than asking people whom they intend to vote for, we should be asking, "Whom do you think will win?" This question, Wolfers' data show, is much more likely to yield the correct answer. Perhaps this is why so much time, money, and effort is spent on presidential campaigns: it's all a battle to control the perceptions of who will win since that may most clearly determine the winner. In that spirit, please vote in the poll on our homepage (on the right) and comment below on any of the issues I raised in this post.

Dassault Dev Diary 2 - Animations
As I said on the last post, I want to talk about how animations were implemented in Dassault.
In the original game, droids are animated using one image for each frame of the animation. Those images could be all in a single file or not. Here is an example of an animation:
This solution could be expensive for Dassault because droids are rendered in several layers, so to animate a droid we need to animate each droid's layer.
Another solution, and the one used in Dassault, is to separate the droid in parts to create a hierarchy and then animate those parts by moving them inside the game.
For Dassault, the droids are separated in three parts, the body and the two legs:
And here is an example of how the parts are related to the droid:
droid { body { position (0,0) } leftleg { position (-5,5) } rightleg { position (5,5) } }
Where each part position is relative to the droid's position.
To perform the animation, given a specific time, we calculate the value of a property by interpolating the values of two key frames.
For example, we could animate the value of the position of the leftleg part by specifying that on 0ms it should be (0,0) and on 100ms it should be (0,-10) so, when the time is 50ms the position would be (0,-5).
Here is an example of how the animation could be specified:
walk { body.position { time 0 (0,0) time 200 (0,-5) time 400 (0,0) time 600 (0,-5) time 800 (0,0) } leftleg.position { time 0 (0,0) time 200 (0,-5) time 400 (0,0) time 800 (0,0) } rightleg.position { time 0 (0,0) time 400 (0,0) time 600 (0,-5) time 800 (0,0) } }
And here is a video showing how it looks inside the game:
This example shows how to animate positions, with the same ideas you could animate an angle, colors, alphavalues, etc.
Next time, I want to talk about collision techniques used for Dassault.

First ImpressionsWe were lucky enough to be chosen as Kurio Ambassadors this year and have been loving the role. The new version of the Kurio is sleeker, faster and much improved on the previous model (we had the Kurio 7). My first impression of the 10S was wow it's big but I had been used to the much smaller 7. We soon got used to the size and Ben has said he prefers it as it is better for playing apps and watching Netflix.
How to Add a New Profile
A lot of people have been asking how to set up new profiles so I made a quick How To video here which clears that up. (Please excuse any baby interruptions on the videos - I was hoping to re-record them but I'm never baby free with twin babies to do so).
I also thought it would be useful to put together a Step-by-step video on how to install one of the App Stores such as Amazon and then install apps onto the parental and child profile which is very easy as you will see.
If you wish to install apps such as Kindle and BBC iPlayer install 1Mobile store and search for them there. The good news is that there was an announcement last week that the Google Play Store will be available for the Kurio soon so I will keep you updated on when it is here but you should receive an update to your Kurio when it becomes available.

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has given its nod for the restarting of the online system for registration of party members across the country, beginning with the Edo state chapter.
The party in a statement issued on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh said Edo state would be used as a pilot for the project.
It said the earlier scheduled congresses in Edo state has been deferred to a date to be announces later.
The party said the decision to resuscitate the e-registration project is part of the reengineering efforts to rebuild the party.
"The National Working Committee (NWC), after very wide consultations with critical stakeholders, and in line with the wishes and aspirations of our teeming supporters across the country, has approved the resuscitation of the e-registration project.
"This project, which was initially presented in the 52nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of our great party on August 12, 2010, is aimed, among other things, at harmonizing our membership data, returning ownership of the party to the people and strengthening our various structures at all levels across the country.
"The NWC believes that the e-registration is indeed a decisive step towards enthroning internal democracy and giving every member a voice in the party."

To get even more specific, the cord and connector (Autostar II) are the same as that from a telephone handset to the phone base. It is a straight through wiring.
If you have the correct crimper head, cable and connectors (available online) you can make your own cables.
Fortunately, a member of our astronomy club made one for me-using a flat cable.
The only online source I found was at Ebay, from England. They are about 25 feet long, if I remember correctly.
I hope you get to purchase or make one.

I received an email from my Archbishop about a week ago. You can read the text of the letter here in blog form, http://www.archmil.org/Our-Faith/Blogs/Archbishop-Listecki/JEL-20130626.htm.
The contents of the email and the blog addresses the priest sexual abuse scandal, its impact on those affected, what the diocese did about it and what they continue to do about it.
This blog is about the intersection of the church and technology. Its not appropriate here for me to address the content of this message, but I do want to speak to the process.
Only a few years ago, assuming the diocese wanted to get a message out, what did they do? I recall sitting in Mass listening to a cassette recording of the Archbishop talking about various issues. I recall our Parish Priest reading a letter from the Archbishop (of course that happened at the end of Mass when everyone was looking at their watched trying to get home in time for the Packer's kickoff). I recall occasional letters being inserted in the bulletin or mailed to my home. This may be the first email I received from the Archdiocese giving me a rather unfiltered message.
In this era of 24X7 connectivity, the Internet is exactly where this message needs to be. The diocese also took an important step and left the comments open on the blog. As important as it is for the Archbishop to get his message out, its equally important to listen too.
Now some will say the courts ordered this information to be public and that may or may not be the case. I really don't know. Either way, this email, concerning these horrific events, tells me that a new era of transparency and openness may indeed be coming. To a degree Social Media is driving this openness. The Internet and Social Media is changing our expectations in terms of communication frequency, openness, and two-way dialogue. This can be scary, its not without risk, but oh gosh is their opportunity! And from this openness and transparency also comes accountability.
I applaud the Milwaukee diocese's efforts to make this information public. For the abuse survivors, their families, and even for the church it is only a small step, but it is indeed a step in the right direction.

Markets interconnect sellers and buyers. Rigid interconnectedness has a relatively low adaptive capacity, and, therefore, vulnerable to massive collapse. Previous value chain analysis (VCA) studies conducted in the wood-based furniture producing area of Jepara in Central Java, Indonesia found that most furniture producing small- and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) in the region are interconnected with buyers through directed and hierarchical types of governance networks, which are centralised to either domestic brokers or exporters. Centralised networks are too brittle for SMEs to adapt to new conditions. In 1998, the region's furniture industry experienced a massive collapse, threatening not only economic, but also environmental sustainability. The collapse suggested that decentralising interconnectedness by giving SMEs more 'autonomy' to govern value chains was necessary to increase the adaptive capacity of Jepara's furniture industry. One way of doing so was through the use of information and communications technology (ICT). Consequently, a collective marketing portal (http://www.javamebel.com) was developed, aimed at facilitating SMEs in Jepara to market their products collectively and link them directly to potential buyers, with the domestic niche market as its main target. This study evaluates the 'usefulness' of the portal from the SMEs' perspective as well as appropriate institutions for its management. In addition to employing online statistical data, the study involved field surveys to investigate factors constraining marketing through the portal. Eighty-five days after its launch, javamebel had attracted relatively few SMEs and potential buyers. Though this is quite normal for a new innovation, we did establish that the portal's 'usefulness' was determined by cohesiveness among SMEs, social resistance and buyer-seller trust. This suggests that in order to develop, the portal should improve its 'orgware', the institutional settings governing rules and incentive structures for the development and employment of technology, demanding continuous inputs via investments and appropriate incentives structures. We believe that campaigning, capacity building, equipment grants and extensions for stimulating expectations of the social benefits of collective action will accelerate the achievement of this goal.

Polpette – aka meatballs – is a staple in much of Italy and can be found on the menu at any old-school restaurant in Rome. Polpette is served as both an antipasti (appetizer) and as a secondi (main course).
Americans and Italians both love meatballs while they do differ on how they should be served. Many Americans and Italian restaurants in America believe that spaghetti and meatballs is an iconic Italian dish. It is certainly true that Italians are big into both meatballs and spaghetti but they do not serve them together. Pasta is typically a course of its own – it you ask for spaghetti and meatballs in Rome, or anywhere in Italy, they think you are quite strange.
Meatballs are served solo when served as an appetizer and frequently alongside Gnocchi alla Romana or roasted potatoes in Rome. They are eaten for lunch or dinner and you can always enjoy pasta as a first course .When in Rome…
One last note on meatballs in America is the troubling practice of serving meatballs that are sinkers – made nearly entirely of meat and frequently just one meat. These meatballs are served with pride exclaiming that they are pure beef with no "fillers." While this is a great thing for crab cakes that should contain just enough bread to bind the crab. In Rome the perfect meatball includes a generous portion of bread making the meatball seem light while absolutely meaty as well.
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage
- 3 cups Italian bread cubed and dry (day old)
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano
- 1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 eggs
- teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper
(Optional additions to the polpette include diced red onion, diced prosciutto, or pine nuts.)
Cube the bread after removing the crust. The bread should be partly dry but not completely dry and hard. Soak these bread cubes in milk tossing until the bread is all wet (add a small bit of water if needed). Let the soaked bread stand for 10 to 15 minutes and then squeeze the liquid from the bread and add the bread to the meats in a large bowl. Mix the meat and bread well, kneading it by hand or get some mechanical help with a large mixer with a bread hook.
When the bread and meat are well worked add the remaining ingredients and work these into the meat and bread. You can let this mix rest in the refrigerator or immediately roll into balls that are bigger than a golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball.
At this point you can pan fry the meatballs, bake them, or par fry and finish in a simple red sauce (my preferred method).
Serve your Italian meatballs with roasted potato or Gnocchi alla Romana. Wine pairings are plentiful and I do recommend that you stick with Italian wines save a bright, youthful, California Zinfandel. Chianti is a great choice as well as Rosso Piceno, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, or Montefalco Rosso. If you want to feel like you are in Rome try to find a Cori Rosso or Cesanese del Piglio.

Ask anyone who knows me, I love gadgets and I love to shop. I do a lot of my shopping online, and have done so for years. I have had my share of disappointments, but, for the most part, I have made out alright.
This morning, while reading through the Popgadget blog, I ran across a product called Voltage iGlow, a self-illuminating hair gel. Since Halloween is just around the corner, I ordered three of the four colors of hair gel available. I also requested the most expensive shipping option, 1-2 day express.
Imagine my surprise when, not more than a 1/2 hour later, I got a phone call from Carlton (I think!) asking me if I wanted to take advantage of their special limited-time offer of "Buy 3, get the 4th free"! Not only that, but he also asked when I needed my order. I told him that I wanted it for a Halloween party next weekend. He suggested that he would ship it out first-class, saving me oodles of cash, and I would have it by the middle of next week! WOW! I can't ever remember such great customer service! If you have ANY need for glowing hair gel, please, visit Voltage iGlow and tell them Lisa sent you!

Below is our suggestions on proper use of some of our product. Everyone has their own special way of maintaining their beard, so be yourself. Just make sure you look good.*
- Our beard wash is a wash, not a shampoo. This means that it is more liquid-like than a shampoo. So dispense into your hand carefully.
- Shake bottle before use to ensure you are receiving all the benefits of your essential oils.
- Place about a nickel sized amount in the palm of your hand.
- Scrub into your beard and lather it up.
- Once fully sudsy all the way to the skin, throughly rinse with water.
- Breathe deep and smell that freshness of a man who was better than before.
- You can apply this when your beard is damp or dry.
- Using the back of your thumb nail, scrape out some balm about the size of dime. The bigger the beard, the more you use.
- Rub the balm between your hands vigorously to melt it.
- Work the melted balm into your beard, working from the roots to the tips.
- Add more balm if needed.
- Style with hands or with a comb.
- Smile in the mirror and walk away upright.
- You can apply this when your beard is damp or dry.
- Squeeze the dropper while it is in the oil to allow some oil to enter the dropper.
- Place oil directly into beard or place in your hand.
- Use hand or comb to work oil throughout the beard and onto your skin under the beard.
- Add more oil if desired.
- Look in the mirror at the stud before you and walk away upright.
*If you do notice an allergic reaction to any products, stop using them.

The Reason I'm Done With My Formal Education
4 years and hundreds of all-nighters later, I'll soon be looking into a piece of paper which classifies me as educated. Yes, I'll soon be looking at a computer science degree that everyone values so much. Without any doubt, it's been an incredible journey. Although I've enjoyed the 4 years I've spent at McGill, university education made me question the value of formal education.
My decision is clear: I'm never going to pursue another degree at any university. No masters nor PhD. I've spent enough time and money on formal education, and I don't think it's worth it. Learning is definitely a lifelong process, and there are much better ways to do it.
Now, I'm putting together these thoughts of mine that have been shaped within past 4 years.
Let's take a look at my past to see how my thoughts have evolved. I was a pretty successful kid, if you look back at my elementary school and high school record. In fact, I've graduated as the valedictorian from both. I had a pretty good learning experience prior to starting university. Being classified as the smartest kid in the class, I got a lot of personal attention which gave me unlimited access to my teachers and my school's resources. It wasn't just me though, pretty much everyone was happy because we had really good teachers who were there every time we needed them. They loved it because they were educated to be teachers. More than being knowledgeable, they knew how to communicate knowledge well. Then I started university. And everything about the teachers and the educational system has changed. Not that you only had to chase your professors to learn stuff, there was a great deal of them who openly hated teaching and showed no passion communicating knowledge. University was a different place where you had to be absolutely self-motivated to make it further. I will now discuss the main problems with formal education, specifically focusing on university level education which has lead me to this decision. That is what the labor market cares about anyways – anything before university is not valued much for highly skilled labor market.
1. Teaching vs. Research
I will always remember my first year calculus teachers during my undergrad. I was unfortunate to had had Professor X (won't call out his name) 3 semesters in a row. Sadly, these were all math classes, which used to be my favorite subject prior to starting university. And Professor X made me hate it. He was a 60+ year old genius math professor with a long white beard who had reached a certain amount of recognition in his field thanks to his publications. He has also been teaching for years, despite the terrible course evaluations he had received at the end of every year. The university had to keep him. Because he was a recognized math genius whose publications helped the university's research rankings. Now, I do respect Professor X's extreme success in his field, but he was terrible at teaching. He was unable to communicate, constantly speaking to the blackboard and crunching numbers on his own. Every time I took a course he was teaching, I figured it's not an efficient use of my time to attend his lectures. I'd rather study from a textbook or online lectures, and understand what he was trying to teach the whole class in 10 minutes.
Professor X is not an exception. I had Professor X's every year, in different subjects throughout the university. So did all my friends in university.
The fact that I was studying at a university ranked top-20 worldwide which I've spent quite an effort to be admitted, but some kid in an unaccredited college in a small town had much better calculus education than I did hurt me a lot. Because that kid's teachers were educators. They were obviously not genius researchers, but they knew how to communicate knowledge well.
At undergrad level, universities should differentiate between teaching professors and research professors. Not everyone who is a great researcher can communicate their knowledge. In the example above, Professor X makes a great research professor but a terrible teaching professor. So he should only do his research. Teaching professors on the other hand should be natural communicators who have gone through some pedagogical training. They should also be proven to have certain level of knowledge in order to teach in a university. My experience shows that some young masters students who end up becoming TAs make good teachers. These people should be able to be a teaching professor. A professor can be both a research and teaching professor, but in order to do so, they should satisfy both criteria.
2. Building Robots for Pre-defined Skillsets
An important reason that affected my decision to be done with my formal education was the strictness of universities. You need to complete X number of credits, and complete all these courses they have chosen for you. Naturally, I'm a hustler, so I was lucky to have had several exceptions during my undergrad at McGill. Taking a technological entrepreneurship minor which wasn't offered to science students (after getting letters from deans of 3 faculties!) and making a relevant course outside of my degree program make count for my degree program are a few examples.
The real problem isn't that though. It is the fact that degree programs are designed to build robots for pre-defined skill sets. It all makes sense if you think universities serve the labor market. However, there are lots of high level skill sets that can lead to great innovations those degree programs can't just teach you. Why can't I be a computer scientist who also specializes in anthropology? Do I really need a masters degree to make a connection between two skill sets? Let me create my own skill set and my own persona with a course plan I will create. But no, employers don't want that. Wait, who said that? The #1 brand in the world, Apple, used to be a place where people from various backgrounds used to work to build the revolutionary Macintosh.
In an interview for the 1996 PBS documentary Triumph of the Nerds, Steve Jobs said, "Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world."
Although some schools like McGill have done a bit to change this with programs like Arts & Science where you can take any courses from both disciplines, many universities are still strict about what kind of skill set you'd like to graduate with. An article in Psychology Today mentions that, "Students can improve learning by designing the course and materials". This is another interesting idea to think about. Also, I'd like to pitch an idea that might sound far-fetched but if you think about it, it's quite possible: Imagine that each semester-long course is divided into weekly components. Say I am interested in intersection of computer science and anthropology. How could would it be if I can join the discrete math class for a week (or several weeks) where graph theory is discussed, and get a credit for the components I've completed? I think we should think along those lines in order to allow creative individuals with varying skill sets to come out of universities.
3. Efficiency
When I talk about efficiency, it's mostly about time and cost. How efficient is classroom learning? It used to be really good in elementary and high school where my classes were max 25 people and everyone received enough personal attention. The time was worth it. Most of my high school buddies won't believe this because of my academic success back then, but I don't recall myself opening a single textbook to review any subject in high school after an efficient 8-hour school day (I did most of my homework though). I didn't need to review because the education I got was very efficient. 90% of the learning was happening in the classroom (10% while doing homework). Then came the university life, and even though I had relatively small classes in my senior year, 90% of the learning wasn't happening in the classroom. So I ended up spending ridiculous amounts of time trying to learn the material on my own. Lectures became useless after understanding this "efficiency" factor, and I started skipping classes. Not supposed to happen in an ideal world, right?
What about the cost? Well, you'd think I cannot complain because thanks to my scholarships, I had a free ride through most of my education. That changed when after first year of university, my full-tuition entrance scholarship wasn't matching the increased tuition anymore. From my freshman year to my senior year, my tuition increased about $6,500. That is about what a Canadian citizen pays to McGill and I had to pay that difference by working full-time every summer (part-time during winters). So I found myself questioning the international tuition rate of about $2,500 per course on average. Thinking about our favorite Professor X's, it really wasn't worth it.
These days, a big trend is massive open online courses (MOOCs). Coursera and Udacity are good examples. Basically, these are online education platforms that has all the learning tools and lecture videos which lets you learn at your own pace. Most of them are taught by great educators (teaching professor types) from top universities.You can even get a certification after completing those courses (if you care). You'd think it would cost some good money to get an on-demand education from world's top universities. It's all free! Most of the time, I found myself looking at these resources in my 90% time trying to understand the material after useless lectures. The good part is, you can stop it and watch the parts you don't understand over and over again. You do the exercises to learn more. Okay, I hear you, it lacks interaction, right? But if you really want to go the extra mile, there are local study groups in your city for those free online courses! So really, there isn't much of a downside about MOOCs and they are very efficient.
The Future of Education as I See It
In order to maintain universities as the premier learning institutions, I think the future of higher education must be flexible, student-oriented and multi-faceted. I still don't think there is any good replacement for the social experience of university. The experience you get working in student clubs, your social interactions with people and the freedom to do whatever you want are all great when everyone finally treats you as an adult. In fact, some people claim that rather than education, most universities sell their social experience. But the education part? I think it lacks efficiency, personality and care.
Some elementary schools in Canada have already started to use this method, and I hope it will soon come to universities as well: Your professor lets you watch the recorded lecture videos during class. If you don't understand, you go back and watch again. If you don't understand, you do the exercises again. Meanwhile, your professor tracks the progress of entire class through the same software. He sees that you are having trouble understanding a certain topic. He then approaches you to help you understand the problem you're having trouble with. Now, this will result in better overall performance, but most likely the smart kids will receive less attention than they usually do because they will have less trouble with each topic. So the teacher won't interact with them as much. Now, there are workarounds this to ensure everyone receives attention. I know this is a controversial topic, but my thought is that you can group smarter students into a class and give them one teacher whereas another class with more average kids might have 2 or 3 teachers in order to ensure everyone receives enough attention. Now, this model does not isolate average kids as many people think because they can still have interactions with their smarter counterparts and be motivated. This model transforms the classroom into a personal experience, so social interactions are most likely to happen outside anyways. I think the future of higher education should be along these lines.
How I Will Continue My Lifelong Learning Process
After two periods of drop-out intentions during my undergrad, I ended up staying in because of immigration reasons. Since my early childhood, my ideal has been to immerse myself into high-tech sector and build something valuable that solves an important problem of humanity. I wouldn't be able to stay in this part of the world that leads the high-tech sector because if it wasn't for my education, they would kick my ass out of the country! So I resisted my mental breakdowns and temptations to drop out every time and stayed in. The day has come now. I'm done with my formal education, but learning is a lifelong process and by all means, I will pursue learning new things. For all the above reasons, I will seek different methods of learning. For now, MOOCs like Coursera give me the flexibility I seek. I can learn any subject, whatever I want, whenever I want. For free. Also, everyone has a different learning style. I'm an autodidact. Having taught myself programming at the age of 12, I think figuring out and experimenting with things work the best for me.
Thanks to the internet, today, we have better tools for self-education. In fact, given these tools, I think most of us are now capable of self-education. You don't need to fit in the pre-defined shapes higher learning institutions want you to fit in. You can create your own blend of skill sets and personas that will lead to much more variety and innovation in our society.

Buhler (6-1) at Cheney (5-2)
The Crusaders face a must-win situation after falling to Andale last week. In order to qualify for the Kansas Class 4A playoffs, Buhler must beat the host Cardinals tonight and then beat Nickerson next Thursday.
Buhler will be favored in both games, but the Crusaders are not at full strength. They are dealing with injuries - all of them ankles. It's unknown if senior RB Riley Allen will be able to play in this one. He missed last week's game, but did do some running this week - a good sign, said coach Steve Warner.
Denton Branscom, who filled in for Allen last week before injuring an ankle on a key fourth-down play at the end of the third quarter, will try to play, as will fullback Luke Berblinger, who has been dealing with an ankle injury all year.
The Cardinals are led by quarterback Tyler Amsink and running back Tyler Trego. They opened district play with an impressive 56-14 victory over Nickerson last week. They have won three straight games, including an impressive victory over Garden Plain three weeks ago.
Kingman (4-2) at Haven (2-5)
The Eagles might be the surprise team of the area. Coach Curtis Albin has 17 seniors in the program and they have come together to form a team that might go worst-to-first in their district.
Quarterback Mitchell Packard has rushed for 292 yards and three touchdowns, while passing for 493 yards and five scores. Meanwhile, Zach Andersen leads a balanced ground game - five players have more than 200 yards rushing - with 507 yards and four touchdowns.
Haven had its two-game winning streak snapped last week at Garden Plain. The Wildcats need to win tonight to earn their second straight trip to the Kansas Class 3A playoffs. The trio of Tim Hendrixson, Austin Fritzemeier and Jacob Newcomer will have to come up big.
Garden Plain (4-3) at Trinity Catholic (2-5)
Reports of the Owls' collective demise might have been premature. Garden Plain snapped a three-game losing streak - its longest skid in recent memory - by beating Haven 40-6 last week.
Five Garden Plain players scored touchdowns in the district-opening victory. Kenyan Wright carried 16 times for 135 yards and a score for coach Brad McCormick's squad.
Trinity has faced a tough stretch of games since a week four victory over Moundridge. It doesn't figure to get any easier this week. The Celtics are led offensively by junior fullback Michael Doeden, who has rushed for 478 yards.
Junior linebacker Joey Hale has been in on 82 tackles - an average of 13.7 per game - to lead the Trinity defense.
Nickerson (0-7) at Andale (7-0)
This one figures to be a mismatch. Unbeaten and second-ranked Andale hosts the youthful Panthers, who will rely on freshman at both the quarterback and running back positions.
Andale was impressive in a 28-21victory over Buhler last week. The Indians, led by junior running back Hunter Knoblauch and junior quarterback Jared Smarsh, rushed for 379 yards and rallied from a fourth-quarter deficit to remain perfect for the season.
Pretty Prairie (2-5) at Lincoln (3-4)
CT Young's Bulldogs are playing out the string, looking to gain some valuable Friday-night experience for next year - and the seasons beyond.
Last week, Pretty Prairie had trouble with Canton-Galva's high-powered offense and fell 58-22.
The Leopards have dropped three of their last four games since getting off to a 2-0 start to their season. Last week, they fell to Central Plains.
Quarterback Zac Walter, just a sophomore, has thrown for 644 yards and nine touchdowns, while rushing for 1,056 and 19 scores. He is a player Pretty Prairie will have to contain.
St. John (2-5) at Fairfield (5-2)
The Falcons saw their Eight-Man playoff hopes come to an end last week with a 50-0 loss to second-ranked Kiowa County. Now they have to find something to motivate them over the last two weeks of the season.
Getting well against a St. John team that has struggled this season under first-year coach Christ Story might be incentive enough.
The Tigers have given up at least 40 points in six of their seven games this season. Senior Schuyler Brown is the team's leader. He had a 275-yard, four-touchdown game earlier this season.
Inman (5-2) at Sterling (2-5)
If Inman is to punch its ticket to the Kansas Class 2A playoffs, this is the game it must win. Last year, the Teutons were in the same position and Sterling came away with a resounding victory to nab the playoff spot.
Tyler Cottam has rushed for 407 yards for Inman, while quarterback Justin Friesen has thrown for 407 yards, four touchdowns and has been picked off just one time.
Matt Hendricks' Black Bears are battle-tested from a season of Central Kansas League football, which features mostly Class 3A and 4A programs. Senior Tommy Shea and Austin Meyers give Sterling a nice one-two punch in the ground game.

Wood Casing: Window Treatment
Casing is the name given to the moulding used around windows
and doors. Its job is not only to be decorative, but also
to hide the seam between the drywall and and door or window
jamb. Window mouldings
can be installed in a number of ways to fit your decorators
touch, and typically the casing around your doorways is done
in a fashion to match.
Baseboards as the name suggests are used around the "base"
of the room to hide the bottom seam of the drywall and the
gap between the flooring material and the wall. For many flooring
products, like hardwood
flooring where it is critical that it be installed away
from the wall to allow for seasonal expansion, the thickness
of the baseboard becomes an essential piece of information,
to be determine if it is going to be thick enough to hide
the required expansion space.
Crown Moldings:
If you're looking for a trim around the ceiling, around the
top of your kitchen cabinets or to complete the top of a newly
build wall unit, it is typically a crown moulding you are
looking for.
Specialty Floor Moldings:
The key to installing
flooring is the ability to get and install nice wood transition
mouldings between the various types of flooing you have in
your home. This is what makes the difference between a professional
installation and your neighbours. Find out what is available
FIRST and everything will be easier... stair
nosing, t- mouldings, & reducers
Curved Window Moulding
Wood Being the first choice for curved casing, it poses a
few manufacturing challenges and sourcing difficulties, but
here is a little bit of information for fabricating curved
trim: elliptical window

|The last resort. Face it -- going toe-to-toe with the uglies in Quake demonstrates all the good sense of a man parachuting into an alligator farm.
—Quake Manual
The Axe is Quake's melee Weapon. It does moderate damage and should not be used unless you find yourself in sudden close combat with few Shells. It's also useful to open secret doors and is an alternative if you do not wish to waste ammo.
Single Player
- There is little valid reason to use the Axe in Quake, as ammo is usually plentiful especially for the Shotgun. This is in contrast to other first person shooters (including those by id Software) whose levels have a scarcity of ammo as well as a more powerful melee weapon. The axe should never really be used unless absolutely necessary.
- You can save ammo by using it to hit buttons instead of shooting them.
- The axe is useful in saving ammo against lone ogres. If you come across a stray ogre sneaking, pull out your axe, then run toward the ogre hit it once (or twice if you can time properly) then back just out of melee range, then run forward again and repeat. This is a time consuming method so it should only be used as a last resort.
- The Axe is only effective against Grunt, Rotfish, and Rottweilers. In fact, you can kill everything in E1M1: the Slipgate Complex with just the axe in Nightmare mode.
- Combined with a Quad Damage, the Axe can be a great way to conserve some ammo. It can kill Enforcers with only one hit, whereas weaker enemies will be instantly gibbed.
- Another idea would be use a weak weapon to leave low-class enemies helpless and run up to them with the axe and finish them off.
- The Axe is a great humiliation weapon! If you're feeling lucky, charge a critically-wounded enemy with it. It feels great letting the whole world know that you took somebody with the Axe.
- You wont be COMPLETELY unarmed if you waste your entire Ammo supply
- Is very useful for Ammo conservation
- Can kill Enemies in a few strikes with a Quad Damage
- Humiliation!
- Must be within close range to use
- Slow rate of fire
- Even trees will laugh at the base damage
